    Engagement session
    June G.

    What can I say about Michelle? Michelle is absolutely the best of the best. Her style of photography is something my husband and I both adored and appreciated. We fell in love with our engagement photos, she delivered such beautiful photos. She is fun and easy to work with, and truly cares for her clients. If you want amazing photos for your special occasions that you'll love for the rest of your life, Michelle is your girl.

    My husband and I have a bit of a unique story with Michelle that we hold close to our hearts. Michelle photographed our best friend's wedding five years ago. We loved their pictures back then and decided to reach out to her. Lucky for us, she was available for our wedding date! From the moment we signed our contract, Michelle was super helpful and easy to contact! First of all, I love that she includes her engagement photos with her packages. This gave us an opportunity to get to know Michelle and how she worked before our big day. It also allowed us to get any awkwardness out of the way since we have never had pictures taken of us before. We took our engagement pictures in Santa Barbara, but we had to improvise on location because it was right after the mudslides... This did not concern Michelle one bit! We would shoot in a location and then she would see another location that looked cool and we would venture over there. Needless to say, my now husband and I had a BLAST shooting our engagement pictures! Our wedding day was during the heat wave in California and let's just say it was HOT! Michelle went on with the day as if it were a breezy day in Santa Barbara! Our venue was right on State Street, so we got some amazing pictures of my husband and I walking down the street, in front of the Arlington Theater, and even at our first date spot, Ca'Dario's. We couldn't have asked for better pictures from our wedding day! We received our wedding day pictures less than a month after our wedding. When we received our pictures, my husband put our pictures on a slideshow and I literally got so emotional looking at them. I was clapping and cheering when a picture came up that I loved, crying during the intimate and sentimental pictures, and laughing at our silly and candid moments. Michelle went above and beyond and was able to capture the best candid moments of our family and friends. We are forever grateful that we have such amazing pictures that we will forever cherish. My husband and I are already looking for an excuse to have another photoshoot with Michelle because her photography is seriously incredible. Thank you, Michelle, for capturing our special day and also being a fellow dog lover :)

    If I could give Michelle 1000 stars I would. Since day one she's been amazing. I felt a connection with her, a connection that was solidified over this weekend. Not only is she super professional and talented, but she is real and fun! My husband and I had so much fun during our engagement shoot and wedding. She truly captured who we are. Not once did I feel fake or forced with her. Talking and being around felt natural. She truly loves what she does and it shows. If you meet with her and feel that connection I strongly suggest you work with her. You will not regret it! I hope to work with her again! PS I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. Truly a spectacular photographer/ human being.

    Michelle has taken all of our family photos since our 3 daughters were small. She's an amazing photographer. She's affordable, punctual and professional. We're always happy with the beautiful photos we receive. Michelle goes above on beyond to keep us happy and that means a lot to us. We love Michelle and highly recommended her for all your photography needs.

    I hired Michelle to take pictures of my son when he was 3 weeks old. She was so good with him, super patient and she didn't rush us (I kept on having to change his diaper and he wanted to be fed). Overall it was an amazing experience. She has great talent and professionalism. The shots she took were great and I was very pleased with the results. Totally worth the money.

    Michelle is SUCH a talented photographer. Not only did she take some of my favorite photos ever, my boys who do not like their photos taken had FUN! and took some of the best photos I've ever seen of them.

She was patient with our kids and knew how to get them to look at the camera. She took a variety of different groupings of people since there were 11 people. All of our photos turned out beautiful. They are by far my favorite family photos we have gotten done. Emily is also amazing with communication and got us our photos back quickly. I highly recommend her.

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!

From our first contact, Jeff was enthusiastic & made us feel comfortable. He listened to what we wanted for wedding photos & guided us with posing for the camera. It helped getting to do an engagement shoot with him so we could learn the different cues and get some great photos in the process. Jeff was always super communicative & worked well with our planner. He's organized & gets the photos out to you in a timely manner. The album links are easy to share with friends/family. Photos that are downloaded come out looking beautifully. On the wedding day, Jeff came in super excited along with a second photographer, Will. Jeff and Will are a great team who get things done without feeling too rushed. During our reception, we asked to do table group photos. As a last minute request, Jeff handled it well & was able to get our 16 tables photographed with us in less than 30 minutes. He captured so many wonderful moments from our couples portraits, to a first look with my dad, to our grandparents out on the dance floor. I can't recommend Jeff enough; he's the best!

After the first phone call with Jeff, I knew I was in good hands. He immediately made the entire process feel simple and straightforward. He walked me through everything, answered all my questions, and helped me think through details I hadn't even considered. On the day of the proposal, Jeff was calm, professional, and completely on point. When we received the photos, my fiancé and I were immediately blown away. They turned out way better than I expected. He didn't just take pictures; he captured genuine emotion, raw reactions, and moments we'll treasure forever. The lighting, timing, and angles were all perfect. Looking through them brought us right back to the moment. If you're even slightly stressed about hiring a photographer for a proposal or any special moment, Jeff is your guy.

From the beginning, Victoria was highly responsive, answered all my questions and even set up a call to walk through shoot day so we were prepared. She has a detailed preparation guide on her website which was extremely helpful as a new parent. The photo shoot took place at her in-home studio and it was a very comfortable, relaxing environment with everything you need for a newborn photo shoot. She has an abundance of props and the cutest outfits and accessories to choose from for each photo. Unfortunately, my baby wasn't happy this day, but despite the chaos Victoria was so kind and understanding and she worked her magic (and patience) to capture some amazing photos of our little one in between all the fussiness. She really went out of her way and even extended the session time to allow us time to calm, feed and change our baby so we could get the best photos possible. She was also so meticulous and detailed - from the props to the lighting to the baby, she made sure each element was in just the right position and orientation for the best photos. I highly recommend Victoria, and I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to take our baby's 1st photos.

Technical issues will be told but by the look of it "technical issues" were around 2 years ago (look below on reviews) I was told my "missing" images were found of a total of 267 images. Received 139 and most if not all were duplicates.

Contract states i would receive sneak peaks within 72 hours, i didnt receive any until 4 months later. Contract sates i would receive all images within 8 weeks i still dont have the complete images.

And has great work for you to have as a keepsake whether it's candids of you chasing your little or graduation to wedding pictures? Then mari is your girl! I've been going to her since Mother's Day 2019 and she's captured all my eldest firsts from our Mother's Day to birthday to Christmas! Her work shows how much she tries to capture you and your little in the moment! She takes her time to get to know you, your life, and to become a friend! She is so patient with Miguel and knows how to capture him in the moment (I have yet found a photographer who can capture Miguel laughing or smiling in a photo like she has). Personally my experience with mari has been nothing but phenomenal! She keeps in touch and sends me updates about my sessions. I've always came back to her even when there's other photographers in Ventura asking when I'd book with them. (Usually try others once just because of friendship but always find myself booking again with mari consistently) her work has improved over the years, her editing style is something I always loved and obsessed over. Her work isn't just meant to be shown on Instagram but printed and frame to be placed above the fireplace or wall for everyone to see! I have so many printed photos up on our wall that was taken by her! I highly recommend mari to anyone that wants photos done because these are memories you'll want later and will never regret! Can't wait to be back in California to book a family session that now includes a new little and a dad! You literally get what you pay for, if not more.

She's wrong for taking advantage of so many brides & moms on a vulnerable day. Does a shitty job if she ends up even giving you your pictures. She chooses one to two to do great on for Instagram and then will bullshit the rest. Please if any photographer is doing a "deal" or asks for all the money upfront run from them. Red flag!
