As soon as I heard the news, I thought of Megan. I wanted her to capture this joyful moment on her camera and create a unique announcement to our family and friends. Sure enough, Megan did a wonderful job once again. We're always happy and satisfied with her work. Not to mention her patience in working with our other baby (Boxer) Duke, who can be a spazz during photoshoots, it truly appreciated. Thank you Megan! We will call you again for our upcoming family photoshoot!

Thank you so much for your great job. We appreciate it. You are amazing and super kind.read more

She's very patient as our little one was active and very hungry on her 7th day so we took longer hours than most.

If you are looking for a photographer who makes something ordinary looking extraordinary then she's the person you are looking for.

I'm not a fan of being photographed but let me tell you why Nichole makes it better and is so great…read moreto work with. 1) She has a vision and can direct you as much or little as you'd like but trust that you're in good hands. 2) She's flexible but makes an effort to get to know the subject to really capture the essence. 3) [My favorite] She captures amazing candid shots. It takes work to photograph good portraits and landscapes but it takes talent to capture those candid moments that make you relive those special memories.

If DaVinci reincarnated as a woman... and used a camera... He would be Nichole. Nichole is a true…read moreartist at her "work". Professional, fun, creative, and an inspired photographer who is able to capture the very essence of the moment while also connecting the soul of the people she shoots. Unlike any other photograph I have worked with Nichole is able to capture moments that few others are able to capture. Her passion is in every shot. You can see it in her eyes as she works. You may think she is looking AT you, but she is also looking THROUGH YOU, and AROUND YOU. Intense at times, she knows what she is looking for as if she asked your soul ahead of time, translating the message as she "finds the shot". A surreal but very fun experience. She is confident, yet gentle in her approach and a complete and very intuitive professional. You can feel the love for what she does AS she does it and that makes it VERY obvious that THIS is what she was meant to do. Trust me when I tell you that you should just let her do her thing! You will be very impressed. Thank you Nichole for all that you do for me, my family, and my business!!! You are a gift!

Ty is by-far one of the strongest photographers I've ever shot with. Not only have I used his…read moreservices for my fashion editorial styling work, but I have also been shot by him for my commercial headshots (which my agent loves and submits regularly/gets me loads of auditions). He specializes in natural light and in 35mm film photography but is also totally comfortable in a studio setting with a digital camera and soft boxes. Additionally, being a native Angeleno, Ty has an extensive knowledge of free locations to shoot in that are not commonly known to other photographers. Whether you're a blogger, actor, musician, model, or brand, Ty is definitely worth bringing onto your project.

Elli is amazing!! I had seen her photograph a friend's wedding, and it was exactly what we wanted…read morefor our own wedding. Her work is stunning, and I love her approach to documentary style photography and true-to-color editing. She truly exceeded all expectations. We are still in awe at how perfectly she captured the energy of the whole day plus so many little details. Our friends and family have been raving about the photos too. She really captured everyone so beautifully. We also couldn't believe how many photos she got. I swear she must have some magical ability to be in multiple places at once! She is extremely organized, thoughtful, and such a pleasure to work with. She was very present throughout the whole planning process, and we really appreciated how much time she took to help us think through the timeline for the day and organizing family photos. We had mentioned that we were interested in the possibility of doing some off-site photos at some point during the reception. When she went to scout out the venue, she also found an off-site spot nearby where we could get some nice landscape shots. We ended up getting so caught up during the reception that we decided not to sneak away for the off-site photos, but it was nice to have that as an option and very thoughtful of her to scope it out for us. Since we didn't do the off-site photos during the wedding, I'm especially grateful for the gorgeous photos she took during an engagement shoot. As part of our package, she offered to do a pre-wedding photo shoot with us. We live on the east coast, and she met up with us out here! We walked around one of the national parks and she got some amazing portraits and candids. She did such a great job guiding us. I wanted portraits that looked natural and not super staged, and she was an expert at that. Elli has an incredible gift for capturing not just how things looked, but how they felt. We're so grateful for her and we'll cherish these photos forever.

Highly Recommend Elli as Your Wedding Photographer!…read more We were looking for a wedding photographer who could capture true-to-life colors, authentic emotion, and the fun of the day--not stiff or overly posed moments. Funny enough, I had been following Elli for a while for her food, restaurant, and lifestyle photography before I even discovered her wedding work. Her eye for storytelling, small details, and candid joy immediately stood out, and once I saw her wedding portfolio, I knew she would bring that same magic to our celebration. Since we eloped in Hawaii, we hired Elli (along with an assistant photographer she selected) for 4 hours to photograph our reception. This included a 30-minute portrait session before our grand entrance, and coverage until about an hour before dancing ended. From the very beginning, Elli was incredibly organized, communicative, and thoughtful. She walked us through exactly what information she needed ahead of time--family groupings, key moments, priorities--which made us feel more prepared going into the day. We also met in person about a week before the wedding to scout the location. Even though Elli had photographed at the Presidio before, she still took the time to walk the space with us and make sure the lighting, scenery, and flow matched our vision. That level of care and intention is something that could not be matched. We didn't have a wedding coordinator, and Elli truly went above and beyond to help keep the timeline on track and gently guide things when needed (though don't expect her to replace a planner--she just genuinely cares). She was calm, professional, and confident, which made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, including guests who normally shy away from photos. Her creative eye absolutely shines in the final gallery. From the vibrant Mexican food to the lion dancing and ice cream truck, every image perfectly reflects the joyful, celebratory energy of the day. Elli somehow managed to capture both the big moments and the quiet, meaningful ones--natural portraits, candid laughter, emotional reactions, and beautiful details we didn't even realize were happening. She delivered well over 1,000 photos in about six weeks, and when my husband and I went through them, we laughed, cried, and relived the entire day all over again. The photos feel timeless, effortless, and deeply personal--exactly what I hoped for when choosing a wedding photographer. If you're a bride/family looking for someone who is professional, organized, artistically talented, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Elli is it. We would absolutely hire her again and recommend her without hesitation. Not sharing pictures on Yelp for privacy reasons, but hop on to her instagram to see them!
