Her videos look like movies and I was blown away when I saw our Highlight Video! It is outrageously good. The day of the wedding, I could hardly tell she and her team were there which was perfect! I'm 'in the business' and didn't want to see cameras everywhere. What is really mind blowing is Jennifer is usually very camera shy. Susan had a way of making it fun and easy for her and now we say we look like stars in our own movie. Couldn't be happier.

Susan is the BEST!! She has extraordinary passion for her work and it shows. Our wedding video went…read moresomewhat viral among our guests. We received an outpouring of positive feedback in the days after we shared our highlight reel ... "waterworks!" or "LOVE IT - made me feel like we were all there again!". I was shocked, it was 17 minutes and I didn't think anyone would take the time to watch except me. Even my husband's seen it 6 times! I call Susan the "video ninja" because she wears all black, is rather small and can work alone. You really don't know she's there. Most videographers come with a crew, as their goal is to make a perfect movie. My goal was to have a perfect wedding, and then a video, maybe. If this is where you're at - don't regret not having it filmed. Every time I watch the film it makes me so happy. Our photographer was phenomenal, but can't compare to the emotion that a moving picture provides. Our destination wedding in Hawaii was full of love, support and pure joy beyond my wildest imagination. The best week of our lives :)

I booked Rebecca to do a shoot with my son and his friends, who were graduating from UCSB. I admit,…read moreI was a little uncertain at first, because her gallery of shots was filled with wedding shots and children's portraits. But after we spoke on the phone, I felt confident she was up for the task. Her price was commiserate with the other estimates I got for the job. One thing that was key to me was that we would have all the digital photos, without having to pay extra for them or extra for high res. Another decision point for me was that she would digitally correct all the shots and not just 4 or 5 that I'd pick or worse, a fee to correct more than a few. To be clear, her fee included all digital shots in high and low res with all shots digitally corrected. In booking the shoot, she was flexible on picking the perfect time to try to take advantage of golden hour. She was also flexible about shooting at several locations around campus for no extra fee. I wasn't present during the shoot, but my son reported that Rebecca was great and fun and flexible. I can tell from the shots that the guys were very relaxed and had lots of fun with Rebecca. She took portraits of each guy, which the families loved and also wonderful group shots. I would hire Rebecca again in a heartbeat. She did a great job!

Rebecca met us down at the harbor for a quick family shoot and did an incredible job capturing great shots even when it was well past our little one's wake window. She knew just how to capture his attention and get him to smile. I appreciate how she made us feel so comfortable and was able to capture some truly candid shots. My Husband normally doesn't love family photoshoots but commented afterwards that it was his best experience and she was so efficient! Since our boy was a little grumpy she wasn't able to get any solo headshots with him smiling, she offered to come over to our place the next week and snap a few complementary. I have used her for a few shoots now and am always excited to get the photos back. Highly highly recommend!

I knew I wanted Laurie to be my wedding photographer long before I was engaged. No, I was not one…read moreof those brides who bought her dress before she was even in a relationship. I was however, someone who had taken a photography class taught by Laurie, and it was then, that I was introduced to her work. She is a passionate, brilliant, artistic, compassionate storyteller. Laurie was the first vendor we booked -- before we had solidified a date, simply because we knew she is the best of the best and we knew we needed to get to her first. Not only does she deliver an experience where you feel treated like royalty, where you become the queens and kings of the day, her true gift comes when you first view your photos and you wonder how she could have possible captured those moments. Your wedding lasts a few hours -- for some it's a weekend long event. Your photos last forever. Entrusting Laurie and her team is the best investment you can make into the start of your happily ever after.

We had planned our shoot several months in advance, but my son didn't get the message and decided to make his first appearance 2 weeks earlier than his planned arrival Tristin was so compassionate and accommodating through the entire ordeal, even though I was still a little shocked by my sudden delivery.

She flew to Bermuda to capture our intimate wedding on the beach, and she truly captured the moments, the beauty, the spirit, everything! She is talented, dedicated, creative, patient, flexible, and friendly! I am really 'camera shy' and Leah did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable during the portraits! She has a great eye, and two good ears, so she was able to suggest picture locations, poses, etc. that both worked beautifully and matched our tastes. She took gorgeous and dynamic shots of the ceremony itself. Then she seamlessly organized all of the group pictures that we wanted (no easy feat with 25 people, including many kids, but she made it fast and fun!) and also suggested other meaningful group photos that we're so glad to have but that we may have overlooked ourselves because of the frenzy of the day. She also got the BEST candid shots of our beloved friends and family celebrating. We treasure the photographs from our wedding! We wish we had more wall space because we wish we could frame and hang ALL of them!

We had the absolute best experience with Matt Roberts from Rewind Photography for our Santa Barbara…read morecourthouse wedding. From the very beginning, Matt was incredibly detailed, thoughtful, and prepared. His website alone provided so much helpful information about the Santa Barbara courthouse wedding process and answered questions I had not even thought to ask yet. Once we booked, Matt continued to go above and beyond. He helped us create a clear timeline for the day, explained where to meet, planned photo locations around the courthouse, gave practical tips about the Hall of Records/security process, and even helped us think through how to include our children and family in the photos in a way that still allowed us to have intimate moments as a couple. His communication before the wedding made everything feel organized and calm. On the wedding day, Matt was amazing. He knew exactly where to go, how to guide us, and how to keep the day flowing without making it feel staged or stressful. He helped us stay in the moment instead of worrying about "being the moment." He was professional, warm, creative, and incredibly generous with his time. He even built in extra flexibility to make sure we got the moments and pictures that mattered most to us. After the wedding, his communication was just as thoughtful. He explained the editing process clearly and sent us beautiful preview photos within just a few days. The previews already captured the feeling, flow, and joy of the day so perfectly that we are even more excited to see the final gallery. Matt's knowledge of the Santa Barbara courthouse is outstanding, not only from a photographer's perspective, but also from a bride and groom's perspective. He truly understands how to make the experience feel smooth, meaningful, and beautiful. We are so grateful we found him and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone getting married at the Santa Barbara courthouse or looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about the full experience, not just the final photos.

We looked at a lot of portfolios, but Mollie's stood out to us right away. Her price was very reasonable and after we met with her in person to discuss the vibe of our wedding, we knew she was up to the task. Mollie was punctual and a pleasure to have around throughout the wedding day. Since the venue is fairly spread out, she recommended and arranged to bring a second shooter along to help capture some details as well as my wife and I getting ready. We had a lot of combinations when it came to wedding party and family portraits, but Mollie captured all of them quickly so we were able to spend more time enjoying the cocktail hour and reception with friends and family. She would give advice as needed as to how to tweak our poses of facial expressions but struck a pleasing balance between letting us figure it out for ourselves and controlling our every move. This left us feeling relaxed and natural, and it shows in the photos. The week following the wedding, Mollie sent us a teaser photo set. It was such a nice treat to get while on our honeymoon. The rest of the photos were delivered in a timely fashion and we've been thrilled with all of them. All the little details of the day, from the florals to the food to the decorations, were all captured with as much care and attention as our wedding portraits. We opted to not hire a videographer so it's nice to have such a beautiful catalog of the entire evening. We'll definitely recommend Mollie to our friends and family in the future.
