I have two little kids and Dasha easily can work with them, which is very hard to make them focus. Dasha is always very professional and also charming person. She is very positive and warm. My kids love her. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to my friends.

When I decided to have a family portrait of my 21 person family, I researched many local…read morephotographers. Dasha Dean stood out, not only because she had nothing but five star ratings, but because she responded to me quickly and patiently answered all my questions. I was not disappointed. She gave many suggestions about what to wear and possible locations for the portrait. Coordinating such a large group is no easy task but she handled it with professionalism, patience, and a warm friendly attitude that put us all at ease. Not only did we get beautiful group shots, but she captured individual portraits as well. The final portraits were stunning. She is truly a talented photographer who cares about her clients. No wonder she has such rave reviews. If I could give her more than five stars I would.

It's hard to know where to begin, because there are simply too many amazing things to say about…read moreTeresa and her work. When my husband and I began our search for a wedding photographer back in 2019, Teresa was one of the first we discovered, and I was immediately in love with her light & airy, classic aesthetic. Her photos and overall style are so dreamy, natural and effortless. After speaking to her on the phone, I pretty much knew immediately that she was our girl. She is so kind, easy to talk to, caring, and most importantly, honest. We were one of the many couples faced with the interruption of covid-19, and had to postpone our wedding a full year. Teresa was more than understanding and reassuring, which eased so much of the stress we faced at that time. A comment I received from multiple people on my wedding day was how calm I seemed. And I have to say, I credit 100% of that to Teresa. Leading up to the wedding, she made me feel so prepared and at ease. When wedding day arrived, she carried that sense of calm with her from start to finish. Shooting with Teresa feels like shooting with a good friend you've known forever. She is so sweet, funny, organized, and professional. Wedding day can be SO stressful, but Teresa never let me or anyone give into that at any time. She keeps you laughing, and brings an energy that every bride needs on her big day. The timeline she created for our day was completely seamless, and the day just felt so easy with her direction and care. The amount of people that also recognized this about her and made a point to tell me throughout my wedding day only further confirmed that she is truly amazing at what she does. She is the real deal. My wedding (and engagement) photos are something out of a dream. In fact, they are even better than what I dreamed of for so long. She captured the most special moments of our life so beautifully and organically, and we will cherish them forever. They are classic and timeless, and I never fail to get emotional any time I look at them. From the beginning, Teresa never felt like a vendor we hired, she felt like family. Words can never express how thankful I am for her and the experience she gave us, or how grateful we feel that she will be in our lives for years and years to come, capturing more of our life's precious moments. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and we owe SO much of it to Teresa and her hard work. We not only have these photos that we love, cherish, and will show our children someday, but we gained a dear friend in the process. I would recommend her to everyone under the sun. Thank you Teresa, from the bottom of our hearts.

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!

ALEX IS THEEE BEST!!!! Not only did we have a wonderful time taking pictures with him but even our…read moreguests couldn't help but notice how unique, friendly, and professional he was. He made the whole experience throughout our wedding day so much fun. We were able to meet him long before the big day, even before we had a venue picked out. He had no problem taking phone calls months/weeks before to discuss our vision and we never doubted his work for a second leading up to our wedding day. We had two ceremonies in Mid July 2017. One at the Santa Clara Catholic Church in Oxnard and the other ceremony/reception at Eden Gardens in Moorpark and he knew ALL the perfect angles at both venues. He even met up with us early in the morning as both parties were getting ready at separate locations and kept EVERYONE smiling throughout the day. We knew we had chosen the best and once we viewed our digital pictures we nearly cried at how amazing they came out! Alex, we loved spending every moment with you and JoJo, cant wait to finalize our photo album for our families to see. We hope to use you in the near future as no one can come close to your level of expertise! Thank you!

We decided on the Madonna Lita package, which was well worth every penny. Alex and his assistant Joe spent 8 hours with us on our wedding day, capturing the early afternoon to the later evening hours for our reception and beyond. Not to mention they worked cohesively with our other local vendors, having worked weddings together before. Alex and Joe were both so much fun to work with, and made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful. My husband looks at the photos and says they made us look like movie stars! I love the wide angle illustrations Alex is renowned for, his creative visuals, and of course the enhanced touchups during the editing process. It was very difficult choosing just one hundred photos for our album, because so many of them were exceptional. Alex captured our day with immense enthusiasm and was always very gracious and kind in our interactions with him.

She provided lots of helpful advice in what to wear, how to coordinate those outfits, and most importantly advice on how to get comfortable on the day-of so that the photos would turn out their best!  Alana seemed to put in a lot of research about the location - Vasquez Rocks - which we had never been to before, and the best time of day there to get good light, etc. She also gave us a brief survey before the shoot, inquiring a bit about our relationship to get a feel for our ~vibe~ and asked if there were any particular poses we'd like to capture or any props we wanted to include and despite us having filled out all that information a month in advance she seemed to remember every detail and was sure to capture everything we asked for! She really helped put us at ease during the shoot - we are neither models nor influencers so we aren't by nature super adept at being in front of a camera. We honestly had no idea how cute we could be!  Thanks, Alana!

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!
