She made everyone feel comfortable and took the time to capture moments that felt genuine and full of love. What meant the most to us was her sensitivity and care in helping us include our late daughter's memory in our photos. It was such a meaningful gesture, and she handled it with such compassion and respect. She was also very punctual, organized, and professional from start to finish. We're so grateful for the beautiful photos and the experience we shared. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares about her clients!

My fiancé booked an engagement session with Debbie in Cambria (as a surprise to me). She was…read moreamazing! First of all, I did not even notice her when she was there- she really knew where to stand to be completely out of sight! She caught every special moment and it was perfect! I felt like I was able to relive the moment because tbh, I completely blacked out during the actual engagement! Afterwards, she had some great suggestions for photos to take that really embraced our personalities and us as a couple! So glad we have these amazing pictures that I can cherish forever. I HIGHLY recommend reaching out to Debbie for any and all photography needs. PS - she is also willing to travel for all your photography needs! Highly recommend!

I've been wanting a sweatshirt that says Cambria on it. I found one that I liked but wasn't the right size. The gentleman at the front greeted me and told me if I needed anything to let him know and that he can also customize things. I asked him how long it took. He said right away. But then of course the size I wanted wasn't in stock. Go figure. He offered to order it and make it and then ship it to me. I asked what the turn around time was. He said he would have it out by Monday. It literally took him 3 or 4 days and he shipped it out Monday. It was so fast! I literally got it two days after that. I loved the way it came out. I also did ask for something and he said he can do it but it won't turn out the best. I was grateful for his honesty. Their customer service was top notch! I will definitely be back to visit next year and see what else I might find.

Thank you for your patience and working through our hiccups, which I'm sure no wedding is short of. Thank you so much for allowing us to incorporate Louie's car into our pictures which was a bit last minute but your team handled it so well and even made us look like models!

Our kids wanted to give us a special gift for our fortieth anniversary, so they hired the…read moreincredibly creative Ginger at Sandprints to photograph our family at our original wedding site, Sweet Springs in Los Osos. The first thing she did was ask to see our 1985 wedding album. As we shared these old photos with her, I was struck by how many family members are no longer with us--but at the same time, how many new people, including the spouses of our children and our grandkids, have come into our lives since then. A truly great photographer understands how fleeting and precious these "spots of time" really are--how recording these rare celebratory moments when the generations are gathered together in one place can become such important markers in the history of a family. This was a new thought for me, but as Ginger worked her professional magic (coaxing a dubious sixteen-year-old into a spontaneous smile, turning what could have been a long hour of posing into a laughter-filled family memory), I could see that she totally understands the important nature of her work. Her professional skill and personal grace and unusual creative vision allow her to capture moments that will never happen again--in our case, five teenaged grandchildren hovering on the very cusp of adulthood, and two grandparents (us) who are still fully plugged into life but won't be for long. Ginger's family portrait is a gift we will cherish forever. Paula Huston

ZOMG, Adam & Chelsea were AMAZING!!!!! My now-husband & I…read morebooked them for our October 2024 wedding for both photography & videography (this review is long overdue, I know) From the initial consultation all the way to when they delivered the final pictures/film --- they were an absolute dream to work with. Our package came with a free engagement shoot but since we already had our engagement shoot, we invited them to come a day early (only if they could) & capture our rehearsal. They didn't miss a beat - they were there during our rehearsal run-through at our venue and were able to get a lay of the land prior to the big day. After our rehearsal, it was golden hour so of course, Adam took a couple shots of my husband & I (took not even 10 min) & let me tell you, from the previews he sent me THAT night --- I was so blown away with how beautiful they turned out. He definitely has an eye for it! FYI - Our package also came with an additional photographer & videographer. So when it came to the day of, they introduced us to James (from StateFarm, lol) & Laura. This completed the DREAM TEAM! Cannot stress how amazing it was to work with these 4, A. MA. ZING! Being the Type-A bride that I was, I provided Mooncrest with a Shot List on request & they delivered on that. They made sure to get the shots we wanted & even some bonuses that we didn't think about. This is why we leave it up to the professionals :) They were professionals but it also felt like we were surrounded by friends. I know they probably get this all the time, but they were hella cool & tbh, if we lived closer - they'd be awesome to hangout with. We received our final edited photos right before Christmas so it served as an early Christmas present to finally see pictures from our wedding & WOW, they turned out so beautiful! From the edits to the stolen (candid) shots - AMAZING (using that word for the millionth time in this review). When we received our Teaser Film, they also provided a "Message from your guests" video, which was a complete surprise for us & a wonderful surprise at that. It was so cool to see our friends and families wishing us well, behind-the-scenes style. Such a great bonus! Once we received our full wedding video, they provided a Documentary Edit so that we can relive the moments in real time - First look, private vows, ceremony, & speeches. So, something to make note of - during the initial consultation --- my husband only had one request, he wanted to make sure all the speeches were recorded. So I am guessing this led to them providing the Documentary Edit & we are soooo thankful for this. It's something we can watch over & over again & relive the key moments. Our final wedding film took the cake! Adam & his edits, geeez louis! This man has got the eye and talent. His edits were impeccable & we couldn't have dreamed of a better way of capturing one of the most important days of our lives. From the songs he chose (which he used our friend's cover who performed during our cocktail hour) to the cuts/transitions -- *chef's freakin' kiss! The day of our wedding went by in a blur but the photos and film captured, we will forever cherish. Mooncrest helped us remember things that happened during the day that we don't even recall because it went by so fast. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone. If you want pictures that look like they're out of a magazine and videos give you the feels - BOOK MOONCREST! You will not regret it!
