San Francisco elopement
Lisa T.

Book Malaya for your photos ASAP! I can't recommend her enough. Malaya is extremely easy to work with, quick to respond and flexible. My fiancé and I haven't had our photos done professionally and we immediately felt comfortable with Malaya. She gave us great direction and pointers while taking photos. She was creative with light and certain spots that would look good. I can't stop looking at our photo gallery of our elopement!! I'm so happy with the photos and the experience and would definitely recommend her and book her again in the future!

I found Malaya while scrolling Instagram looking for California photographer. Right at the moment seeing her page, I fell in love with her style of editing. The way she captured moments is effortlessly beautiful. I booked her for our engagement session and Malaya was so responsive. At first, we chose Santa Barbara for our photoshoot, however, due to travel schedule, we changed it to Malibu beach. Malaya was flexible with our change and suggested us to go to Leo Carrillo Beach, which surrounded with a lot of options as beaches, field and mountains view. It turned out to be such a great choice. Malaya directed us to pose naturally and really carefully chose the angle and good lighting for our photos. She kept complementing us to keep us feel comfortable and joyful. She was also very considerate with me wearing high heels and helped us carrying some of our stuff while taking photos. I know Malaya is gorgeous but even more in person. The best thing to mention is how quickly she edited photos and gave back to us. Looking at our photos, we are so happy and grateful. We looked naturally in photos and the color is so pretty. Personally I loved all black and white photos that she took us. Highly recommend her to everyone and hope we could meet her again in the future!

Our experience working with Malaya has been absolutely amazing! We hired her to photograph our wedding and also did an engagement shoot as part of the package. My husband and I had never done a photo shoot before and Malaya made us feel comfortable and like she was just one of our friends taking photos. I had no stress about photography leading up to the wedding because I knew Malaya would do an excellent job. She is so professional, kind, efficient, and talented. We absolutely love all of our photos and can't recommend her enough!

Kelsey is an absolutely amazing photographer and human being. Our wedding was originally scheduled…read morefor April 2020 which of course did not happen due to COVID, and we tried to reschedule it several times but bad things kept happening to us including our first baby being stillborn, so it was a super long and dragged out process to finally get the wedding in the books. Kelsey was not only patient and responsive throughout the almost 2 year planning process, but she also helped us out with other things, like recommendations for a spa to get a gift card to thank our amazing planner. We came down to Santa Barbara for a weekend a couple months before the wedding, to meet our vendors and scope things out, and Kelsey provided a TON of input and guidance on places to do our First Look and other photos. She was just so amazingly helpful and kind. But where her kindness really shone through was on our wedding day. She went SO FAR above and beyond to give us the special day she felt we deserved after all our loss (we also had an 11 week miscarriage 8 months after our first baby was stillborn, and my mom was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in the height of our grief). She truly wanted our day to be as perfect as possible and she really delivered. My husband and I are both pretty shy, awkward people so we were super nervous for the photoshoot as we hate people looking at us and being the center of attention. Not only did Kelsey (and our wonderful videographer Jennie from Riviera Productions) make us feel completely at ease, but somehow, magically, she actually made it fun?!?!? Taking the photos between the ceremony and the reception was the most fun part of our wedding day, we had a blast and the photos are absolutely BREATHTAKING. Like straight out of a magazine. I don't know how she did it but she made everything look so beautiful and we could not be more thrilled with the photos. We knew she was good, because I'm the type of person who reads a million reviews and does a ton of research before I book anything or go anywhere, but Kelsey is next level. The photos are far better than anything we could have ever imagined. Even though we live in the Bay Area, we will be using Kelsey as our family photographer forever. She is worth 9 hours in the car round trip. Heck, I'd drive days to see her! If you're trying to decide who to book, stop wasting your time wading through reviews and just book Kelsey already. She is fantastic and we feel so, so, so fortunate to know her.

So hands down Kelsey is the BEST photographer in the Santa Barbara area! I may be biased since she…read morecaptured the most gorgeous photos from my husband and our wedding day at the Fess Parker this June, but honestly, she is the best. Our initial contact, I immediately knew that I wanted KELSEY, because I knew we would click, and we did! She met us when we came down to SB for a visit, as we don't live in the area, and gave me SO many recommendations, including my videographer, sweetheart cake, Flowers! Honestly, I credit her for the amazing vendors! Each photo is gorgeous and I would not have changed anything! She's so generous and provided my husband with some special stuff out of the kindness of her heart. Kelsey Crews is the best!
