She made us feel so comfortable for our engagement shoot and seeing her on our wedding day felt so special! The photos are everything we hoped for and more, capturing the emotion, beauty, and excitement of our wedding day. She was flexible with our huge family photos and really made sure every detail was captured in meaningful ways. We can't recommend Jasmine enough!! We truly feel so lucky to have found her.

Jasmine was the photographer of our dreams!!! From day one, she was responsive, attentive, caring,…read moreand a true expert in her field. We started with engagement pictures and we couldn't have been more thrilled. She knows which shots to get and has such a creative, artistic eye. I tend to be pretty critical of myself and am a major over thinker, and she totally got me out of my head. We couldn't wait to see the magic of the wedding day knowing her talent. On our wedding day and leading up, she was there for us 100%. We got her the shot list, she followed it meticulously, and ended up getting more beautiful pictures than we could've imagined. We had a tight timeline for photos at our venue, but she and her assistant handled that like total pros. I had a long veil and asked for a "veil shot" and boy, did she deliver! I shared the wedding album with my friends and family, there were SO many stunning pictures of them too! Everyone is thrilled. Now to decide which ones to hang on the wall! An impossible decision. Jasmine truly feels like our friend and we are so appreciative of her dedication to us on/leading up to the best day of our lives! We can't wait to work with her again!

Brett was our wedding photographer and we have nothing but incredible things to say about working…read morewith her! What stood out about Brett from the beginning and held true through our wedding day was her professionalism, personable nature, and of course STUNNING photos. Leading up to our wedding, Brett was very responsive and we enjoyed her friendly nature during our engagement session. She was also confident in her approach and we felt so comfortable with her! On our wedding day, Brett and her 2nd were on time, professional and fun to work with! We appreciated their easygoing and positive demeanor throughout the day. When we got our full album back we were BLOWN AWAY with how the photos turned out! Brett's ability to capture moments, details and color are unmatched! We loved how crisp her photos were and how she used light and color to make them pop. They are truly timeless works of art and we can't wait to get them printed. The hardest part will be trying to decide which ones to get printed because we love them all!!

Brett is an absolute professional at her craft. Here's the thing- I think most guys like myself are…read moregenerally uncomfortable in front of a camera. But Brett had a way of making magic happen by making me feel slightly less awkward than usual and made me actually look "cool" and not goofy in our wedding photos. Brett captured all of the shots we hoped for and many we didn't expect including great candids of the party. She knows exactly how and where to capture the shots and somehow does it super stealthy. I would highly recommend Brett!

When my partner and I were planning our wedding for October 2023, we knew one of the most important…read morevendors for us would be photography. It was highly important to us that we could rely on someone to capture all the special moments in our multi-day Mexican and Indian fusion wedding in Temecula. Daria was the very first vendor who we brought onto our wedding dream team once we had booked our venues. From the moment we met her, we could tell she would treat our events with the perfect balance of excitement and professionalism. We were completely floored by the final photos from the wedding...she captured every moment beautifully and stopped at nothing to get the shot. As part of our package with her, she brought on a second photographer for all the hours. She chose the perfect partner--the two of them together got beautiful photos of both us the couple and all our guests. All in all, I had a great experience working with Daria and would highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!

After looking at my friends portfolios, countless photographers and going to many conventions we found Daria. Not only is she pleasant, professional, responsive but she is hands down one of the best photographers I've ever seen. She captured feelings, moments. Her photos have emotion and not only that she knows exactly what to say to get the right reaction. She is incredibly detailed and meticulous. We hired her knowing we were spending more on her than most of our other wedding expenses. We just finished shooting our engagement shots with her in Malibu and not only did she deliver the photos quickly my fiancé and I are so happy with them. We are not supermodels but I think she captured our true joy and love for each other. I think I look good and my fiancé looks amazing in the photos. She gave us tips on what to wear and do to make our shots better. If you are looking for a wedding photographer hire Daria. If you want to preserve moments hire Daria. If you want typical posed shots that look like you were in JC Penny or the posed shots on instagram don't hire Daria. Daria has been worth everything we've paid for so far and I can't even wait to see what she does for our wedding.

It makes us sad to write this because we were so excited to work with Aura from the very start. Our…read morewelcome consultation & engagement shoot were fantastic! Our wedding was early April & on Fri Jan 3, we emailed to ask when we should expect to start working our timeline with her (HMU were starting to plan their schedules & asking about timelines). After we didn't get a response for 2 weeks (the fires broke out shortly after), we messaged on Honeybook on Tue Jan 14 & texted on Fri Jan 17; read within 30min, no reply. Texted on Wed Jan 22; said she would send us a questionnaire(which was sent on Wed Jan 28) & Calendly link(didn't get). Followed up via text on Wed Feb 19; she said she had a draft timeline & sent a Calendly link to review. We met Fri Feb 21 to review the timeline & make live updates. We also gave her our shot list (family combos) & some inspo pics (playful, fun, movement, less posed, etc). After our video chat, she sent an updated timeline based on what we discussed, & we replied (email) with an update that we'd missed. That email never got acknowledged & we ended up scrapping it. FF to our wedding: our shot-list of family combos specifically listed B&G in ALL family photos (eg we didn't want photos of B&parents w/o G, & vice versa; we find this very strange & we didn't want this for OUR day). But sure enough, one of us was asked to exit the photo. We chalked it up to wedding-day haze, but we felt like what WE wanted was ignored & overshadowed by Aura's "standard." Perhaps we should have emphasized this in our timeline review; we didn't verbally bring attention to it beforehand, because we assumed it would be reviewed/carried with her on the day. Our Couples/B&G Portraits (first look, pre-ceremony, sunset, & night-flash) felt stiff & posed, not playful like Aura said was "exactly her style." & unfortunately, you find yourself just doing what the pros tell you to do; usually waiting for a prompt from your photog. By the time you're at sunset portraits, you've had enough of photos & just want it to be over. We got our preview album 5d after our wedding, with a note that the full album would be ready in another 6-8wks=7-9wks post-wedding. By Thu wk 9, we texted (since emails go ignored) to ask when we can expect our full album: read within 1hr. Texted again Mon & again Wed wk 10. She explained that May was busier than usual (that she couldn't reply to a text mid-way into Jun?) but said that our gallery would be sent over before the end of the next week (wk 11). Wk 11: no photos nor word on further delays. Texted Wed wk 12: no response. Texted the next day: read within 15min, nothing. We emailed later that day; she replied & apologized for the lack of communication (appreciated) & promised to have our album to us by Sat. We received our album ~9am on Sat wk 12. We know that life happens, but we do expect proactive communication & (at minimum) to be acknowledged when we reach out. For someone who boasts "over a decade of experience and 250+ weddings captured," she seems to have very poor basic mgmt skills. Overall, we are very happy with our photos. Even if they aren't as playful as we wanted them to be, they are beautiful & we will cherish them forever. We were, however, very disappointed to realize that we never got our siblings photo (with both sets of siblings) from our shot list, as this was one photo that was very important to us. On her website, Aura promises "an experience that feels effortless and enjoyable," but we had the exact opposite. It hurts us to say this: despite loving our end product, we would not recommend Aura as a wedding vendor.

We fell in love with Aura after seeing her portfolio on her website and the pictures she posted on…read moreher Instagram. Her photography style was everything we envisioned for our wedding - timeless, joyful, and romantic. Plus, Aura is THE sweetest person we've ever met. She is so kind, patient, and professional! We had so many of our guests come up to us saying how professional and patient Aura was while taking their photos throughout the night. Throughout our engagement photoshoot and our wedding day, Aura made us feel comfortable especially since we don't generally take that many photos together. Not to mention, it even rained during our engagement shoot and the photos turned out even MORE beautiful than we could have imagined. She truly captured the raw candid moments and we couldn't have imagined a better photographer for our wedding day. Thank you so much, Aura!

Look no further for beautiful, romantic, and dreamy photography for your engagement/wedding!!!…read more The search for a photographer probably took the longest and was the MOST effort for my husband and I. After looking through so many different photographers and their styles, I knew that I wanted a light, bright and airy type of photography style, but so many photographers I saw were completely out of my price range. With a lot of luck, I stumbled upon Izida on WeddingWire. From the get go, she was super responsive and we immediately set up a Zoom call so we could get to know each other. From just meeting her, I could tell Izida was such a kind and caring person and she really loved photography. I was worried about booking a photographer who would treat my husband and I just like any other client, but Izida really made us feel so special and she really wanted to get to know us. Izida's package was budget-friendly and truly had tons of value, especially since she includes an engagement session and a venue walkthrough. She even checked in with us multiple times throughout the wedding planning process just to see how it was all going and to see if she could help us find any vendors or answer any questions. Izida truly went above and beyond and I haven't even gotten to how beautiful her photography is yet!!! I have already looked at our engagement photos and wedding photos 10+ times and they bring me back to the wedding day and capture so many of the moments that we missed on the day of. Not to mention that Izida gave us a sneak peek of our photos just a few days after the wedding day and even gave us ALL of our wedding photos just a few weeks after our wedding - I don't know how she does it with such a crazy schedule! Overall, would 1000000% recommend Izida! She's the best :)

We had an incredible experience with Izida as our wedding photographer. Everything about it felt…read moretop-notch and high-end. From the initial consultation, Izida took the time to understand what we wanted, the vision we had, and when we didn't have much of the vision, she provided recommendations and suggestions. She provided advice on what to wear and how to prepare. I felt super taken care of during the initial process and like she really knew what she was doing. Then came our engagement shoot. Izida was REALLY good at directing us and helping us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. We'd had another photographer do our first engagement photos who also did good work but was SO BAD at directing, we also wore the wrong clothes and just didn't prepare. So having Izida actually PREP us ahead of time - magical. We also loved how fun she was, she was easy-going yet focused and just easy to be around which is obviously important for such a big day. Then, Izida met with me for our venue walkthrough in Escondido. She was thorough and detailed about looking for options for photos. You can tell she really cares about her clients. And lastly, our wedding day. She has a VISION!! She had great ideas and presented them well, she stuck to the timeline - she was probably better at sticking to the timeline than our wedding coordinator which is very impressive. She was on point, got fantastic shots, directed us well, and the results? I mean, the results speak for themselves. We are IN LOVE with our photos. The editing style is consistent and beautiful. She knows how to capture the right angles and make people's inner sparkle come through. Her work is absolutely brilliant and I will be surprised if she doesn't soon start charging 5x her current rates. She is that good! I honestly feel like some of the photos, especially the B&W ones look like they're right out of a magazine. BOOK HER IMMEDIATELY! You won't be disappointed.

We were so lucky to have her shoot both our engagement session and wedding. Being a couple who had a vision for aesthetics but are also awkwardly camera shy, I was worried about how things would look on our special day. I had a ton of questions, but Madison patiently answered them all with reassurance and confidence. As you can see, Madison totally blew it out of the water from start to finish! She went above and beyond our expectations. Within just a few weeks, we received galleries that were filled with favorite after favorite photo of both posed and candid moments that we weren't able to catch on our wedding day. Not only have we been so impressed by the quality of Madison's work, but she also shines in her transparent process, smooth communication, and consideration to our needs throughout. In both our engagement and wedding sessions, Madison gave us easy-to-follow directions and was so naturally good at creating a fun and light-hearted atmosphere which calmed our nerves and let us enjoy the day. She was also super organized and efficient, from working with us and our wedding coordinator to create a detailed timeline of the wedding day to making sure we had all our wants met in reasonable time. Capturing beautiful moments is her bread and butter. We are on the bliss train with these memories that we can cherish forever thanks to Madison and her team. Life doesn't always give you people like Madison, but if you meet someone as special and talented as her, don't let the opportunity pass you by!

I really had my eyes set on this couple for my wedding photography since March 2020. We went to a…read morebridal event right before the COVID closure and saw their work and also met them and I knew they were the ones I wanted. Unfortunately once I did call them, they did not have my date available. I was bummed but I understood, so we went with another photographer and locked her in. Fast-forward to one year since the COVID closure and my date has been moved twice. This last time that it has been moved, it has been moved to 2022. My photographer could no longer attend on the date we chose so sadly we had to cancel our contract. I immediately told my fiancé that I wanted The Olive Bungalow. He completely agreed, they were our first choice after all. I contacted them through the "inquire" section of their page and it took maybe a week or two to get back to me. In my opinion that is a very long time. We understand that they might be busy but a week or two to just let me know whether that date was available seems a bit much. We know that many photographers and videographers are probably very limited for 2022 due to couples changing their wedding date. This is why I think there should be a faster response time so that couples can move on if they are not available. Finally a response, no, they are not available. I then replied asking what dates they did have available for that month and no response, AGAIN. I then went on their website and once again filled out the "inquire" part of their page. Again, no response for about a week. I was told in a generated response that they did not have that date available and thanked me for considering them and done. I was asking for other dates because my fiancé and I were willing to even change our date around what best suited them. I tried calling the number and left a voicemail and no one to this date has called me back. That was almost a month ago. We finally set a new date, done and sealed with the venue. I decided to give them one last try. AGAIN, I filled out the "inquire" section of their page, we are now five days in and no response. At this point I DON'T EVEN CARE!!! I have been patient and nice but I am now frustrated. I email and responses don't come through. I go about the inquire section and response takes forever. I call and no one calls back. I really had high hopes because their work looks amazing. They WERE my dream photographers. We will begin looking elsewhere. Where our business DOES matter. But I can say, if you are one of the lucky one that get a response quickly and your date is available, book them. I can't deny that their work is simply amazing. My ONE STAR review is based on their customer service when inquiring about availability.

We met Annie at the wedding expo and so glad we did!…read more We couldn't be happier with Annie as our wedding photographer! She took the time to get to know us and that made us feel so comfortable from the start. She also has a team of the photographers and videographers. Their photos and videos captured our wedding day story and we love how they show full of raw emotion! What stood out most was Annie's ability to capture the little candid moments that really made the day feel personal. She has a way to connect with people and it was really helpful since I can be a bit camera-shy. We're so happy with the memories Annie and her team helped us create and couldn't recommend them more!
