Immediately after seeing Michelle's work (for the very first time ever) here on Yelp!, we knew without a doubt that she would tell our story in the best way possible. Communicating with Michelle was effortless - she makes herself accessible (email/call/text whenever), responds lightning fast, gives great recommendations, and is frankly just a pleasant person to talk to. This connection was so important for us as we were extremely nervous about being in front of a camera. She made us feel like our authentic selves and we ended up having the best time during our engagement shoot! The big day came and she could not have been more amazing to us and our guests. Her photojournalism style for documenting our wedding night resulted in pictures you can FEEL. We are so grateful to have these memories told through her eyes. For the best in the business, do not look any further. Michelle is the real deal and we absolutely trust her to capture more of life's milestones!

I just want to start by saying, the absolute BEST decision my now husband and I made during our…read moreentire wedding planning process.. was hiring Michelle to be our photographer! Every photo is gorgeous and will be our most treasured gifts for the rest of our lives. On top of this, Michelle is just an absolute JOY to work with! She made the entire process easy and stress free, even though we were living and planning from across the country. Our engagement shoot was a blast (we were for real laughing in almost every photo!) and our wedding day was the same! She is professional, always quick to get back to us via email/text, and we sincerely appreciated her keeping us in the loop with updates on the delivery of our final photos. Michelle is forever our girl for any and all professional photography!

You cannot even tell she was photo shopped into the family picture, that's how good he is! Also, he was able to edit a photo taken by a previous photographer that was way too dark to see, making it lighter and much better. I was especially impressed by how fast I got my printed high quality photos. I Highly recommend them 10/10

I love Sara Knobel, let me count the ways!…read more I first met Sara in the midst of Covid, when I wanted to have my first family photo session. I am someone who is way more comfortable being behind the camera. Luckily, Sara knew exactly how to lighten the mood and create photos that felt like real life, which is exactly what I was looking for. Over the years, we have done two more shoots with Sara, and each one is better than the last. My only gripe is that I hadn't met her before we got married. I am jealous of the couples who have their weddings documented so lovingly by Sara Knobel photo!

He did a masterful job capturing the essence of our 3 day wedding in Santa Barbara! He listened to all of our requests and I couldn't have been happier. I wanted very specific still shots along with plenty of candids of our guests and he delivered. The greatest compliment of a really good photographer is when you go back and watch the video and look through pictures you feel like you're reliving the weekend! He did just that. I wouldn't choose anyone else to be with us on our wedding weekend. His team was awesome!

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!
