Like many others, wedding planning was intimidating to me and my husband. We knew we wanted a small…read morewedding with our family and close friends. We were fortunate enough to find Natalie. From our first conversation, Natalie was quick to respond and transparent about pricing and photography style. As people who had never planned a wedding, we appreciate Natalie for her communication. She was helpful during the planning process. Natalie sent us a questionnaire to understand our expectations and preferences and helped us prepare a family photos template (photos with all our family was important to us). Natalie was a true professional on our wedding day. She was punctual and came ready to shoot. Our ceremony had a late start, but Natalie made sure to use the time we had to capture some bride and groom pictures. Additionally, Natalie did an amazing job capturing our small ceremony's intimacy. One of Natalie's many strengths is her familiarity with the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Our photos reflect the best natural lighting and reflected the courthouse's grandeur. Additionally, my husband and I are not usually comfortable around cameras but Natalie has such a warm demeanor that it eased us with posing. Natalie was timely with getting us previews and our final pictures. When we received the final photos, we were simply blown away by how beautiful the pictures turned out. Natalie is an expert and I can't believe how lucky we are that our wedding pictures were captured by her. Like us, our family is obsessed with the photographs. I just know these are pictures we will cherish forever. If we were to do it all again, I would definitely want Natalie to photograph our wedding. We can't thank you enough for your creativity and the beautiful pictures!

After I had narrowed down potential photographers, my husband and I went over their portfolios and agreed on B&E Photography, and we definitely made the best decision! We only needed one photographer for our small wedding, and Brandon was great and getting back and forth between our rooms to get pictures of the girls and guys getting ready. He has a great personality and made me feel much more comfortable while posing for photos. He captured so many great moments and we are so thrilled with our pictures! Since sharing them with friends and family we have gotten so many compliments on the work of Brandon. We will definitely use them in the future for family photos. Thank you!!

She is very approachable and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are not professional models, but Emily made us feel like we were! She is super friendly and made the photoshoot experience really fun. She helped us pose and look our best. She also knew the courthouse grounds well which was helpful to us as we came from out of state. We are very happy with our photos! It's hard to choose our favorites because we love them all! It was important to us to capture the details of our day since it was just the two of us attending our civil ceremony. Our family is thrilled with the quality of the photos. We would recommend Emily for photography and hope to work with her again soon!

They were so organized and helpful throughout the entire process of planning our wedding twice over 3 years. I really appreciated the tips they sent over and timeline they created for us, which I used as a base for our general day of schedule. They are super talented and took so many gorgeous photos that truly captured the feel of our wedding day in a natural way.

Kelsey is an absolutely amazing photographer and human being. Our wedding was originally scheduled…read morefor April 2020 which of course did not happen due to COVID, and we tried to reschedule it several times but bad things kept happening to us including our first baby being stillborn, so it was a super long and dragged out process to finally get the wedding in the books. Kelsey was not only patient and responsive throughout the almost 2 year planning process, but she also helped us out with other things, like recommendations for a spa to get a gift card to thank our amazing planner. We came down to Santa Barbara for a weekend a couple months before the wedding, to meet our vendors and scope things out, and Kelsey provided a TON of input and guidance on places to do our First Look and other photos. She was just so amazingly helpful and kind. But where her kindness really shone through was on our wedding day. She went SO FAR above and beyond to give us the special day she felt we deserved after all our loss (we also had an 11 week miscarriage 8 months after our first baby was stillborn, and my mom was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in the height of our grief). She truly wanted our day to be as perfect as possible and she really delivered. My husband and I are both pretty shy, awkward people so we were super nervous for the photoshoot as we hate people looking at us and being the center of attention. Not only did Kelsey (and our wonderful videographer Jennie from Riviera Productions) make us feel completely at ease, but somehow, magically, she actually made it fun?!?!? Taking the photos between the ceremony and the reception was the most fun part of our wedding day, we had a blast and the photos are absolutely BREATHTAKING. Like straight out of a magazine. I don't know how she did it but she made everything look so beautiful and we could not be more thrilled with the photos. We knew she was good, because I'm the type of person who reads a million reviews and does a ton of research before I book anything or go anywhere, but Kelsey is next level. The photos are far better than anything we could have ever imagined. Even though we live in the Bay Area, we will be using Kelsey as our family photographer forever. She is worth 9 hours in the car round trip. Heck, I'd drive days to see her! If you're trying to decide who to book, stop wasting your time wading through reviews and just book Kelsey already. She is fantastic and we feel so, so, so fortunate to know her.

So hands down Kelsey is the BEST photographer in the Santa Barbara area! I may be biased since she…read morecaptured the most gorgeous photos from my husband and our wedding day at the Fess Parker this June, but honestly, she is the best. Our initial contact, I immediately knew that I wanted KELSEY, because I knew we would click, and we did!

Honestly, I credit her for the amazing vendors! Each photo is gorgeous and I would not have changed anything! She's so generous and provided my husband with some special stuff out of the kindness of her heart. Kelsey Crews is the best!
