She was patient with our kids and knew how to get them to look at the camera. She took a variety of different groupings of people since there were 11 people. All of our photos turned out beautiful.

Where do I even begin?! Emily and her team have far exceeded my expectations of what a photography…read moreand videography service should be! Emily has gone above and beyond to capture the special moments of my now husband and I. I remember the first moment when I spoke with her, and from that one phone conversation, I knew that she and I would not only share the same vision for photography (how I would like my pictures to be captured and how she captures photographs), but also become friends!! our first phone conversation was about four months prior to the wedding, and I had not done anything to plan for it! I am a busy resident physician, and I also wanted to plan my own wedding, but I didn't know where to start! So on that day, in between me seeing patients, Emily and I had a really brief phone conversation, where she said three simple words, "I got you!" Since that fateful day, she has not given us a dream engagement photo shoot (at the very beach in which my husband, and I fell in love with in Malibu, the El Matador state Beach!) but also our very special moments on our special wedding day! In the middle of me getting pulled in different directions even on that wedding day... the minute she walked in with her team, I felt sense of calm and comfort, knowing that she was there to make sure that even though I couldn't remember everything that was happening that day because it was so busy, I trusted that she would be able to make sure I could remember those details later on in photographs! Aside from her warm heart and truly genuine personality, her work is fantastic! My husband and I have a very particular vision and preference for the type of photographs that we would like, and she fits that and more! If you look through her portfolio on her website or on her Instagram, you can see the brightness that she exuberance in her own personality onto her art. The way she captures the light is so unique, and she truly is the most talented photographer that I've ever come across. Therefore, I follow my gut and knew that she is the best of the best! I cannot wait until she continues to capture more delicate moments of our lives as I hope to continue to get to know her as well personally because she truly is one of the most special people on this universe!

She was such a blast to work with from the very beginning. I first met her when she was the…read morephotographer at a friend's wedding, and I immediately loved her personality. She has such a warm, easy presence that makes you feel completely comfortable, almost like a friend is there taking your photos rather than it feeling awkward or performative. She made the whole wedding day feel seamless, like we were just laughing and enjoying the moment with a buddy by our side. :) At the same time, she is incredibly skilled and artistic. She has a real eye for natural beauty and for capturing genuine, meaningful moments in a way that feels true to the day rather than overly staged or overdone. She was also efficient and thoughtful about making sure we got the moments that mattered most to us. Looking through the photos feels like being transported right back into our wedding day. I'm so happy I had the chance to work with her!!

The photos came out just as I expected! The quality is professional and every picture she captured is amazing. I love her use of natural lighting. It's just so beautiful and the picture really takes you back to the moment. This feeling is perfect because I want to be able to look back when my baby is a teenager and remember this special time. To top things off, she delivered the photos to me the very next day! Although, normal turn around time is between 1-3 weeks she was able to make it happen for us. The mini sessions are short but it's enough for her to work her magic. She is a bit further than where I live (I live in Ventura) but the drive was worth it. I would def recommend her if you're considering using her as a photographer. See photos attached.

Chasing Pleasures is the place to go to make that happen, but I had no idea just how much they'd come through for us. Imagine this: you're trying to remember every last detail - outfits, snacks, wipes, you name it - while gathering up your kids, yourself, and your husband, all dressed and ready to get out the door. After all that, we barely made it to the studio on time, and of course, it wasn't until we walked in that I realized I'd forgotten to check if my all-black shirt was free of lint. That's when Andy, without skipping a beat, pulled out a lint roller and saved my day. It was such a small thing, but in that moment, it meant everything. Chasing Pleasures is a family company, and they get it - they know what families need before we even realize we need it. Thanks to them, what felt like a monumental task turned out to be a breeze. Thank you, Chasing Pleasures, for making something that seemed so hard feel so simple.
