Heidi is a fantastic photographer who possesses expertise with many types of photography including;…read moreschool portraits, family portraits, newborn portraits, and maternity photos and architecture portraits. She has a way of capturing her subjects at precisely the right moment, and the result is a fantastic photo. Heidi is patient (even with very young children), she is professional and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Heidi at Montecito Photo and Design to everyone. If you can dream it, she can photograph it and in doing so, capture the beauty of any person or occasion.

Lucia Kiel is a true artist and extremely talented in her craft…read more I wanted some maternity photos taken to capture my third (and final) pregnancy. I saw all of the stunning photos on Lucia's website and quickly told myself that mine would never turn out that beautifully. As much as I wanted this special time documented, I was feeling less-than-beautiful, with my splotchy skin, grown-out-roots, and a flaky, red, hormone-driven rash that was slowly taking over my face. Plus, at 34 weeks pregnant, I doubted that I had anything flattering to wear. And I am really awkward when it comes to taking serious, non-smiling photos. I almost backed out. But Lucia reassured me that she would work with me to make my insecure, pregnant self shine. And she did. I arrived at her studio, where she had several maternity outfits of her own for me to choose from to wear. Her hair and makeup artist worked wonders, making me feel confident and beautiful and pretty glamorous, and soon we were snapping away. I still felt totally awkward doing the serious photos, but powered through. And wouldn't you know? When we met together a couple of weeks later to view the photos, the serious ones were some of my favorites! She worked her magic (which is really a LOT of hard work and pure talent!) and produced some jaw-dropping pictures that I will treasure for a lifetime.

My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Lucia for our engagement shoot and for our wedding…read moreday! Right off the bat Lucia and I realized we had very similar tastes in style and aesthetics, which made me feel at ease knowing that I would love the photos. Lucia went above and beyond to make sure we got the shots that we wanted and that we looked our best. Lucia's laid-back but also helpful approach really worked for us, and we absolutely love all the photos! If you're looking for a wedding photographer, do not hesitate to book Lucia!

Jess is truly the best of the best, top tier wedding planner. I didn't realize what full-service…read moreplanning meant until Jess literally made everything exceptionally easy, fun and memorable. Jess goes the extra mile with literally every detail for the wedding, I don't know how she does it!! I was so bad at the correspondence and easily got overwhelmed by all the tasks at hand, but Jess was right there the whole time, and if I was behind on a task, she would text/call me and then take care of the corresponding with the vendor. This was massive for me, because as a bride planning a wedding all while working full time and planning a move across the country, I relied on Jess for so much and she always had my back and made all the planning x10000 easier than I expected! Jess is one of those magical people who you just want on your team because she get sh*t done, has fun, and thinks of details you would've never thought of. We got married at my husband's house and had to install literally everything from a outdoor kitchen, bathrooms, electric, sound, and transform a tennis court into a tented venue. This was a massive undertaking, and one that most could not be trusted with...but Jess stayed with us the entire week leading up to the wedding to make sure every layer to the event set up was perfectly crafted. The house was so beautiful and the transformation was unlike anything I've ever seen. The way Jess is able to so effortlessly collaborate with and manage the dozens of vendors working at the house was CEO vibes. She is so calm, but energetic, direct, but empathetic, creative, but strategic. Jess brings it all to the table, and the table is freaking beautiful!! I know everyone involved in the wedding would say the same :) Which also, Jess has the most insanely talented, vetted, fun list of vendors to work with- everyone she recommended was 10/10. I had mentioned in the passing that it would be fun to incorporate our friend's favorite shots at the wedding, but it seemed challenging because it was a shot of tequila, with clementines and a splash of cinnamon. I had forgotten about it till at the wedding, Jess came on the dance floor serving a platter full of tequila shots, and clementines dusted in cinnamon and was passing them out to all our friends. This was such a highlight because all our friends just flocked to Jess on the dance floor, and it perfectly encapsulated her attention to detail, hard work, and crazy fun loving spirit. Jess we love you so much!! Working with you has been such a joy, and no one could've made this day more fun and perfect, THANK YOU for going above and beyond with everything!!!! Luv Lexi + Jensen

Her planning software kept us organized and on track and she took the time to really get to know us, making sure every detail of the day reflected our personalities. From the thoughtful little touches to the overall creative vision, she truly knows how to deliver an amazing guest (and couple) experience. On the day of our wedding, she was on top of everything so we didn't have to think or worry about a thing. Beyond her organization and talent, what stood out most was how deeply she cared about us, our families and our day. We're endlessly grateful for her and couldn't recommend her more!

Kendle really is as good as it gets. I have both worked with her on and hired her for events and…read moreshe never fails to impress. Not only is she a lovely women, but she is a true professional. Nothing gets to her - she keeps her cool no matter what happens. She goes out of her way to make sure that every detail is in place at events and that you never have to lift a finger. She also has a very stylish eye and finds vendors and locations that are unique, fun and a little out of the box. Dont get me wrong, she can do traditional also, but I think her strengths lie in the unexpected. I most recently hired her for an event at the Annenburg Beach House. We did the event in the gym and I was floored when I walked into the room. She completely transformed the room into a chic boutique with a sporty edge. Honestly, Kendle is one of the best event producers you will find in Los Angeles - she has integrity, style and class!

We HIGHLY recommend Kendle and her team at LKE for your Santa Barbara-area wedding. In our very…read morefirst meeting, she made us feel comfortable, confident and excited about our big day. We knew immediately that she was the super agent we were searching for! Although she won't brag, it's clear that Kendle is an experienced event expert, having orchestraetd everything from proposals to Academy Awards afterparties. Although our wedding was a small one by SB standards (130 people ceremony at the County Courthouse Mural Room followed by a courtyard dinner reception at Casa de la Guerra), she pulled out all of the stops for us and delivered above and beyond our expectations. She kept us on task every step of the way, never rushing us nor letting us fall behind. She never once let anything fall through the cracks. Her team was fantastic the day of and the week leading up to it. We didn't have to worry about anything once we all agreed and cleared plans with her before the big day. Kendle brought a rolodex of trustworthy vendors that added to our wedding team. Kendle put so much thought, effort, and dedication into making sure that our wedding day was every bit as wonderful as we both had dreamed. We highly recommend Kendle and the LKE team! -Marsha and Trent Santa Barbara PS: Her work on our wedding along with that of our photographer, Alyssa Armstrong, was featured today by Wedding Chicks: http://www.weddingchicks.com/2014/03/12/santa-barbara-yellow-and-gray-wedding/
