It is hard work capturing a good picture of 3 wild boys with their mama, but she did it! My only problem now is selecting just a few out of the tons she took.

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! You won't be disappointed! Loop

We were quite nervous, as our son isn't exactly always cooperative, but Jessica wasn't frazzled in the least, and just totally put our minds at ease. Even though it seemed like our son cried for most of the shoot (toddlers!), Jessica promised she got tons of great shots of him smiling, and she DID! We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the photos, ha! Jessica was fantastic to work with from the very beginning, offering lots of help with wardrobe choices, location choices, etc. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photoshoot and can't wait to hire Jessica again for more photos :) Thank you, Jessica!!!!

There aren't enough words of praise in the English language for Shaun of Top Shelf Photo! We were…read morelucky enough to find him on Yelp for our engagement photos, and in mid-November of 2024 he braved the chill of Palomar Mountain to take spectacular photos of us. Nonstop compliments from friends and family, and received much quicker than anticipated. Once we got into wedding planning, Shaun was the obvious choice for our photography needs. Along with his second shooter Jess (Jessica Christie Photography), he again knocked it out of the park. Couldn't have asked for more perfect photos. On a more personal note, Shaun is the above-and-beyond type of person to take the absolute best shots possible. Like, fixing the boutonniere on my suit himself for the exact right angle, or gently shoo'ing away stinkbugs while helping my wife to re-tie her wedding shoes type of person. His passion and dedication for his craft are inspiring, and I guarantee if you don't love being in photos as a general rule (like myself) he will absolutely put you at ease and make it look like you've been modeling all your life. Thank you for everything Shaun, from the bottom of our hearts.

I would not recommend working with this company. Morgan is pleasant and often had good ideas, but…read moresummer is extremely abrasive and disorganized such that their visions are not able to be materialized. The thing that really did it for me was their unfair billing practices. They collected a deposit from me for over $3,000, but did not disclose to me that it was non refundable. After a month of working with them and minimal progress being made, I tried to talk to calmly and politely talk with them. Summer was exceptionally rude and confrontational and told me that I don't have to work with them if I don't want to, but they would not be refunding the deposit. They first claimed that the deposit was to secure the date only, but after they received the deposit, they claimed it was to be used towards their own in-house exorbitantly priced rentals. Their ever changing terms and lackadaisical spirit, coupled with Summer's corrosive behavior and vacuous promises made them very unpleasant to work with. This is not how one should run a business. Avoid!

I would give zero stars if I could to this dishonest, poorly run business. We reached out to them…read moreas party planners for our engagement party. Morgan kindly met us at our venue and we collectively came up with a design and plan. They put together a quote, and collected a deposit to the tune of a few thousand dollars. We then found out that the rental prices were exorbitantly high and they were constantly changing things. The first time they came to our venue, they charged a $65 one-time fee, but then somehow, they added four of these $65 visits even though we didn't ask for that. We found nicer tables for 40% cheaper, better linens for over 100% cheaper, etc. Furthermore, the initial itemized quote that they sent to us had a huge math/addition error to the tune of almost $1,000. This isn't acceptable. We brought all of this up, and this is where summer got involved and things began to go south. They informed us that they do not collaborate with other rental companies and that we MUST use their ridiculously priced rentals. We initially hired these people as planners, we never agreed to exclusively use them for rentals. We had a discussion with summer regarding this, and she was extremely disrespectful and flat out rude. She informed us that they will not be offering a refund, and we could walk away from our deposit and find someone else. The issue is that they did NOT disclose that this was their refund policy and they did not get a contract signed. Communicating back and forth with summer has been excruciatingly painful and exhausting and a total waste of time. We brought on planners for convenience and to streamline our workflow. They are trying to steal from us and engage in unethical business practices and continue to insist that they are entitled to our deposit. I don't recommend anyone do business with them if you want to minimize headache. We went from wanting to make our lives easy and convenient to now having the added burden of dealing with a lawsuit.

The second photographer, Jenn, she killlled it with all the groom's photos. So many awesome snaps were taken for me to look back on moments I missed throughout the day. Some amazing shots of my guests just enjoying themselves have been my favorite to look back at. Thank you so so much to Pauleen , Dustin, and Jenn!! Also, before Dustin entered my bridal suite, Pauleen asked if it was okay for him to enter, and I think even her going that extra step to ask if he could enter really was so sweet and I am so touched she was so thoughtful. During my big day when I just felt like Mickey Mouse smiling for the crowd, Pauleen and Dustin kept the energy upbeat and kept reminding me to breathe. Loved them so much!! Can't imagine my day without them. We also snuck into the Windmill Food Hall arcade to sneak some photos since we were so good on our timeline and they turned out to be some of my favorite photos!

We couldn't be happier with our choice to go with Ritrato Photography for our Temecula wedding…read morephotos. From the beginning, communication was excellent. We discussed our needs and Jaime was very accommodating. On wedding day, he arrived early and ready to go! He took great photos of the ceremony, as well as a series of posed portraits afterwards. He was incredibly easy and pleasant to work with. He posted photos online the following morning for our viewing, and all were great. We chose him due to his excellent eye, masterful use of natural lighting and technical photography skills and he did not let us down. All compositions were perfect, and his lensing choices made the subjects the main focus, while backgrounds went slightly soft to not compete, yet still give a great sense of place. Highly recommended. Am now preparing to discuss another project with him.

Going through all the photos made me teary-eyed, laugh, and immediately wonder if it'd be weird to use our wedding photos as bedroom wallpaper (my s/o convinced me this was a no-go, haha!). Ryan is not only obviously an incredible photographer, but he's ridiculously fun to work with. Hours before our ceremony, we needed to change venues which I worried would ruin the day. Despite the haze of anxiety and panic, Ryan had us all laughing and feeling present and excited! He's fun and knows exactly what he's doing, which made everyone feel at ease. I'm notoriously awkward in photos, but with Ryan, I just felt comfortable and ridiculously stoked! Okay, one last thing about why you definitely need to book Ryan is he's extremely fast! We weren't expecting our photos until at least a month after the ceremony, but somehow two nights later I got a very happy surprise that they were done (like I said, he's a magician)! I feel so grateful that we had such an amazing photographer capture our special day and will forever use Ryan for any other special events!

OH MY GOD. STOP READING THESE REVIEWS. Your search is over and just book Ryan already!…read more I was initially drawn to his style because he can capture "in the moment" shots. The small looks and giggles between the staged shots. He was able to capture all of that. One of my favorite things about my photos was that he was able to capture my guests' genuine reactions during the wedding. He truly can rock the momemt. So talented! He knows how to pose people in small, medium, and large groups. He'll remind guests if they need to button any jackets to get that great shot. He knows how to incorporate the background so he isn't just taking pictures of people but really the entire environment. There is great balance in the photos. He was extremely flexible the day of. We had minor schedule changes and he just went with the flow. I am SOOOO grateful he was able to photograph our big day. THANK YOU RYAN!!

My husband and I are beyond grateful that we chose Stevie Dee Photography to capture our wedding…read moreday! From our very first phone call, we felt like we had known Stevie and her husband, Ryan, forever. They are professional, fun, incredibly responsive, and truly passionate about what they do. Stevie went above and beyond during the planning process making the experience feel personal and special. We loved having our engagement photo session with Stevie and Ryan as it gave us a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera, learn their style, and most importantly, have fun! The session felt more like a date night than a posed photoshoot, and we genuinely enjoyed hanging out with them. On our wedding day, Stevie and Ryan weren't just our photographers--they were our support system. Whether it was keeping us on schedule, making sure we got all the group shots we wanted, hyping us up when we needed energy, or being a calming presence in emotional moments, they were there for us every step of the way. We are absolutely blown away by our wedding gallery! Stevie and Ryan managed to capture every emotion of the day--from the quiet sentimental moments, to us dancing our hearts out on the dance floor, and everything in between. Looking through our photos, we're able to relive the magic of our wedding day over and over again. Stevie Dee Photography didn't just take pictures; they told our story beautifully and supported us throughout the wedding process. We are so grateful for them and HIGHLY recommend!

Helping us relax in front of the camera and figure out what to do with our hands, where to look, etc. made such a big difference -- and the result was gorgeous, flattering photos that we will cherish for years to come!
