As a wedding coordinator, I'm always a little skeptical when working with new vendors because you never know what to expect in terms of professionalism, communication, and work ethic. Brandon exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly easy to work with, provided great direction during photos, and helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. His sense of humor and lighthearted personality made the experience enjoyable for both the couple and the vendor team. From what I've seen on social media, his work is absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to see the full gallery from our event. I would confidently recommend Brandon to my clients and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

Such a great pleasure to work with Brandon. 10/10 experience with him and will be recommending him to anyone in the San Diego area. My experience with him was fantastic and exceeded my expectations by a mile! Brandon you're the man and you helped capture our moment to cherish forever. May God bless you Brandon

A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs. Her turnover to get pictures back to you is always quicker than she stated which is so lovely (especially when you want to get out holiday cards!) I highly recommend Jessica for her stellar services!

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!

Although I generally prefer not to post negative criticism, the profound disappointment regarding…read moreour wedding photography has stayed with me for the past two years. I am deeply saddened by the outcome of the photos provided by this company. We were initially promised a specific photographer, 'Josh,' based on his recommended portfolio. However, only one week before our wedding, we were assigned 'Anel,' whose work we had never seen. On our wedding day, the level of professionalism and quality of work was unacceptable: Lack of direction: There was little to no guidance on posing or lighting. The photographer made comments like, 'What was that?' or 'What's that face?' instead of providing constructive direction. Poor Technical Execution: Many family photos feature heavy, unflattering shade cast across faces. Across the entire collection, there is only one usable, direct shot of my husband and me facing the camera. Absenteeism: During the cocktail hour, which we hired the photographer to cover, the photographer was found sitting in the dressing room instead of actively taking candid photos of our guests. I actually had to seek out the photographer to initiate coverage of the event. Frankly, the final delivered collection lacked the quality and professional execution we would expect from a paid vendor. It felt like paying a friend to snap photos, not a professional with an understanding of lighting and composition. A further point of concern: not a single photo from our wedding has ever been featured on the company's website or social media. We anticipated a high level of work based on the company's advertised portfolio, and what we received fell far short of that professional standard.

My husband and I are so grateful to Jenny and her team for capturing our wedding day! I have…read moreactually been following Jenny since she first started (when I was in high school...) and always hoped she would be my wedding photographer someday, so getting to finally work with her felt really special, and we truly have zero regrets. We absolutely loved taking our engagement photos with Jenny, and that was when we knew we had made the right choice. We clicked with her immediately and felt so comfortable in front of the camera. Jenny truly went above and beyond for our engagement session, she arrived early and even hiked around the location beforehand to scout photo spots. Because of that extra effort, we ended up with some really unique and beautiful shots we never would have thought to take ourselves. Beyond photography, Jenny was always willing to help however she could, even with things outside of photos, like helping draft timelines and offering guidance throughout the planning process. During such a stressful time, having someone so thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely invested in making the day run smoothly made a huge difference. By the wedding day, my husband and I were definitely camera shy and running on very little energy, but Jenny and her team made us feel completely at ease. They were patient, encouraging, and made the photography process feel natural rather than stressful. We especially appreciated how intentional Jenny was about making sure she captured the shots we wanted, while also preserving so many candid moments of our guests and family. She and her team made us feel genuinely special throughout the day. We also have to give a special shoutout to how amazing Jenny was with kids during family portraits. She somehow managed to get their attention and keep things moving smoothly, which made family photos far less stressful than we expected! Beyond being incredibly talented, Jenny and her team brought so much warmth, enthusiasm, and kindness to the day. We cannot wait to see the photos and would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who is thoughtful, talented, and truly goes above and beyond. No regrets whatsoever!

Great flexibility as she was more than happy to shoot at a couple locations with us in the same session. Throughout the shoot, she remembered what we wanted and was great at organizing who was in what photo and with what back drop. This included different variations of family members, our dog, requested back drop with a Seagull in it, wave crashing, sandy area, surfer backdrop...she made it easy! She also had some really great ideas for some more photos. She had her eye on this Banyan Tree and we got some of our favorite photos from her creativity! We'll definitely hire her the next time we want professional photos!

Her use of light is unparalleled as is her use of nature as the background. Her photographs are majestic, expansive, soft, golden, magical and real. She captures great candids.

I just want to frame all the photos she took and cover my house wall to wall =) She's also patient, easy-going and just a overall pleasure to work with. I never share photos of my family on yelp.

Emily was so helpful, kind and professional from start to finish. She gave me great recommendations for shoot locations, and was flexible with the timing. On the day of, it unfortunately started to sprinkle, but Emily managed to keep everyone mostly dry despite us all being outside. (She offered to reschedule the shoot, but we opted for doing as much as we could since some family had to drive/fly in.) We managed to squeeze in a lot of photos before the real downpour started and we never felt rushed either. She was really kind and patient with my family, and got so many great shots of all of us smiling! Everything felt so easy and she's so great at directing poses, especially since some of us had no idea what to do. The final results were fantastic too, I was blown away by the quality of the composition, framing, and editing. My family's pretty awkward sometimes but she made us all look like a model Pinterest family! I'm so happy we chose her as a photographer, cause now we have some really beautiful photos of our family to look back at in the future. If you usually get your family photos done at the mall, you should seriously consider switching to Emily. She made us look so much better and more natural than Sears or JC Penney ever did! Would love to do another shoot with her in the future and I highly recommend her for any photography needs!

As with many other engaged couples, the pandemic had thrown a small wrench in our plans of a…read moretraditional wedding with a reception. Only the *tiniest* bit bummed, we decided to still get married and scheduled our civil ceremony. But now, I want a photographer to document this event... I think I found Emily on Instagram, after looking around at different photographers' work. I remember really liking Emily's style, how natural everyone looked, and how well Emily captured the moments. I think those were/are the most important things for me for choosing a photog, and it helped that Emily has (solid) reviews for me to go through as well. Emily was prompt in responding via email, and offered to chat on the phone to discuss the details and what I wanted. After talking for a bit, I sent over a deposit and we were set! Or not... because a week or two before our shoot, I looked at my civil ceremony appointment time and it was actually for 8am, NOT 8:30am. Yikes! I text Emily, nervous that she wouldn't be able to make the earlier time, and I would need to scramble for another photographer, but thankfully, Emily is flexible and okay with the earlier time. Phew! I also wasn't quite sure *what* I wanted from the photos (POSES? props!? specific backgrounds?!) but found some pictures I liked and sent them to Emily a day or two before our appointment, so she had an idea what I was going for. I appreciate Emily's responsiveness! The actual civil ceremony felt a little hectic; we did not know what it would entail -- paperwork, of course, and then waiting because there were other couples that were getting married that day. Thankfully, Emily was very patient. Emily is personable, friendly, and professional. She is very easy to work with, and helped the husband (!!) and I feel comfortable. Nothing felt forced, and I think she did a great job of eliciting and capturing our authentic moments. We are super pleased with the pictures and I can't stop looking at them! Lol. I would *definitely* solicit Emily's services again. Maybe for one of her fun mini shoots down the line. What a cute, low pressure and creative way to get some quality photos! Reception/after party TBA in December 2021! Or 2022, depending on how things shake out ;)

I told Michelle this, and boy, did she deliver. I bought the premium package that came with a keepsake album. When I opened the lovely box it came in, I immediately was overcome with tears.
