I cannot day enough about Sheryl and her amazing work photographing our big day! We were married in the Mural Room at the courthouse in Santa Barbara followed by a reception in the funk zone art/wine area. I was blown away by how personal and helpful Sheryl was at organizing the timeline for photos. Sheryl had recently photographed my sister in law's wedding in Mexico and it was only fitting that she was our photographer too! You will not find another photographer at this price point for the quality of work (believe me I looked). Sheryl made sure that our first look was special and captured every emotion we felt that day Her assistant Garrison was awesome too and made my husband feel very comfortable with all the pictures which is hard to do.. Sheryl worked her magic and found every breathtaking and beautiful place to take pictures at the courthouse After the courthouse we went and took pictures in the funk zone with all the murals and wineries Our pictures are amazing We are continuously receiving compliments us on how original and unique our pictures are. I cannot wait to have them printed and hung in our home to admire day after day

When our daughter was born, Sheryl came to our home to photograph her. As a new mom, I so greatly appreciated this. She captured such beautiful pictures that I will truly treasure for a lifetime. Since that first session, one year ago, we have used Sheryl Bale Photography numerous time. We now have dozens of gorgeous pictures of our daughter, and our family, at the 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 12 month marks. Looking back at each of these milestone photos brings back memories of an age that flies by all too quickly! We are in the process of planning our wedding and would be honored to have her capture those memories too! Highly recommend!

I've had the great pleasure of working with Jerrick from Three16 Photography for three separate…read moreoccasions. So we know it's not a fluke. His work is just that incredible. I understand that his bread and butter is for wedding photography, and those are gorgeous. However, we used Jerrick for our event photography and I have never seen anything better. Truly. Jerrick has had the difficult task of shooting our events, often with 400+ individuals. We give him the vague and important directions of: please capture the vibe of the event. Awful directions. I know that. But I care less about certain moments and certain faces, and I want photos that capture our world. Our impact. Our community. That's hard. That's not, stand here and pose here type of photography. My five-year-old with my iPhone can do that. Jerrick has to photograph a vibe. I don't know how he does it, but he does it every time. And he brings us to tears. Happy tears. I also want to note something else about Jerrick's work that is often overlooked in this industry and I think it deserves to be mentioned. All too often, when a photographer edits their photos to give a bright edit, it ends up lightening skin color as well. As a Latina working with a population of almost all individuals of color, with varying skin tones, it is important that we find a photographer that celebrates our culture, our community, AND our skin tones without making everyone look the same. I have yet to find a photographer who honors our skin tones with the integrity that Jerrick has, while STILL giving us the light, bright photo-edit that we love. Jerrick's work tells a story. And what is so phenomenal to the client, is that you realize that Jerrick is telling YOUR story. Not how he sees it. Not his edited version. Just YOUR story, exactly as it is. In all its beautiful nuanced colors. Please book this artist today.

Most recently, he photographed our daughter Hailey's quinceañera, and once again, he exceeded our expectations!

It truly means so much to have someone we've known and trusted for so many years be part of these precious milestones. Thank you, Owen, for your beautiful work, dedication, and for giving us memories that we can look back on for generations to come.

Our pictures were delivered quickly, with an additional skin retouching service for that extra glow. I would definitely add him to my event team again if I had something in the area. Thanks Owen!!

The hair and makeup artist was able to follow my vague instructions and helped customized my overall look, including jewelry choices. She also stayed throughout the shoot for touch-ups, and even helped with posing. Sam's knows what angles to shoot and which lighting works. He guided us through the poses and was able to wrap up our shoot earlier than estimated even though I usually find myself very awkward in front of the camera. I also appreciated that they provide all of the digital files, including the 500+ raw ones. When I wasn't a fan of the initial editing style, Sam was very receptive to my feedback and revised the photos quickly. The reason for 4 stars is the communication. During the consultation, I was hoping for more guidance on ideas since I didn't have a clear vision. I was just shown his portfolio on his tablet and quietly scrolled in front of him. After the shoot, I had to follow up for updates on my raw and edited photos. Only after I reached out first did he respond immediately.

From the very beginning, they were fantastic communicators, helping me with everything from choosing the location to discussing the overall style of the shoot. On the day of the session, they were warm, funny, and made everyone feel completely at ease. They were the perfect team to capture our family's memories. It was especially helpful that they spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin, which made communicating with my parents-in-law so much easier. Even more impressively, they somehow managed to get my cranky 9-month-old engaged and smiling throughout the session! And of course, the photos were absolutely stunning. The perfect finishing touch to an already wonderful experience. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and will definitely be booking Dave and Florence again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented photographers who truly know how to make the experience enjoyable for the whole family.

From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. Dave has a great eye for lighting, composition, and detail, but what impressed me most was his ability to make the session feel natural and relaxed. He takes the time to understand what you are looking for and provides excellent direction without making the process feel overly staged. The quality of the final photographs exceeded my expectations. They were polished, professional, natural, and beautifully captured. If you are looking for a photographer who combines technical expertise, creativity, professionalism, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Dave Yip Photography. A truly first class experience from beginning to end. Five stars!

As an event planner who has collaborated with Nicole on multiple occasions, I can confidently say…read moreshe is exceptional! She is everything both a client and a planner could want in a photographer talented, professional, calm under pressure, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Nicole is a true creative partner. She has the perfect balance of personality and leadership able to command a room when needed to achieve the shots that matter most, while still photographing in an organic, effortless way that captures the true essence of each moment. Her eye for lighting and angles is exceptional, and her work is consistently artistic, elevated, and timeless. Clients are beyond happy with their decision to book her, and it's easy to see why. Aside from her talent, her turnaround time is incredible. She shares sneak peeks so quickly, which clients always appreciate especially while they're still on that post-wedding high. And planners appreciate as well! Being able to relive such a meaningful day through photos (and video) so soon after the celebration is truly exciting, and Nicole consistently goes above and beyond to deliver galleries as quickly as possible without ever compromising quality. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I look forward to many more events together!! Xoxo

Every single time she has given us something far beyond photographs. She has given us memories we will treasure forever. Nicole is the most genuine, loving, beautiful soul. From the moment you meet her, you feel safe, understood, and completely cared for. She pours her whole heart into her work, and it shows in every image. Her photos are not just stunning they are emotional, intimate, and alive. She captures love in its purest form. During seasons that were tender, emotional, and overwhelming, Nicole showed up with warmth, patience, and so much love for my family. These are moments you can never get back, and because of her, we get to relive them over and over again. I will forever cherish the times she has helped my family and the way she has preserved our story. I love her so much and am endlessly grateful for her talent, her heart, and her presence in our lives. Choosing Nicole as your photographer means choosing someone who will treat your memories like they matter because to her, they truly do.

Her page was one of my favorite ones that I found with incredible shots from the courthouse, since the courthouse has old school vibes I wanted someone who would capture that.

My husband also loved the pictures! When I first reached out to Sandra she was super quick to respond to email and text, and the day of she had great communication with me. She is sooooo patient!

Sandra helped us narrow down our idea for our engagement session. We got engaged in 2020 which limited a lot of the fun couples normally get to experience. We shot with Sandra in June of 2021 and it made our experience finally feel real! She made our love come to light and brought tears to my eyes. She selected two locations for us after we told her what we had in mind and it was spectacular. She has the most creative eye and is a true artist. She is easy to communicate with and is very clear in her pricing. She is incredible. I have made sure everyone that will listen knows Sandra Flores is who they need to capture their beautiful life moments. I look forward to many more sessions with Sandra!

I'm not a natural model so I didn't know how to pose. I was new and my body was not used to being in front of the camera naturally. But every step of the way, Josh was there being patient and guiding me. For the engagement pictures, due to Josh's expertise and experience, he knew where to go for the best pictures. But if you already have a list of places you want to go, he is open and willing to go to them. To give you an idea of the places he has in his pocket, he took me to Santa Monica Beach and the Venice Beach Canals (who doesn't get their pictures here, right?). But the kicker was this beautiful nature park that literally looked like a rain forest! As for the big wedding day, Josh was the first person there capturing moments from beginning to end. He also had a partner with him to ensure everything was caught. He knew what to do and what type of pictures to take. There were several moments when he told me to do something and thought to myself, "Oh yeah! That's right. I see those wedding pictures all the time!" I just felt bad for him and his partner because they couldn't sit down and eat. They must have been hungry from running around all day! Now as I reflect back and write this, it's been an unforgettable year full of joy and blessings. I appreciate the big moments in my life, but I realize the little moments are just as valuable, something we neglect when we are younger. I have already begun a new chapter in my life, and I can't find a better way to end my last review of 2013, but to write this for him.

It was our first time posing together with our dog but Molly made it feel natural and perfectly transitioned us from one pose to next. Pup was more distracted than usual so we were genuinely surprised how many beautiful shots Molly captured of us. Perfect lighting, mood and all. We did the 1 hr shoot, though it did go bit past, with an outfit change in between. We received way more than the 30+ minimum photos as promised, and they were all beautifully edited. We'd recommend Molly for any occasion shoot!

Starting with the communication, Molly ensured we knew exactly where to park at our beach destination and was quick to respond throughout the entire process as we communicated our ideas for shots we wanted to execute. In terms of our hour long sunset shoot, it was our first photoshoot with our pup so it felt hectic to start, but Molly remained patient with us and helped ensure our visions for the photoshoot were met. The beach was more packed than we had expected, but Molly knew exactly the right spots on the beach to make our shoot productive and worthwhile. Finally, the delivery of our photos was everything we could have asked for and more. We were expecting a 3-4 week turnaround time, but Molly went out of her way to edit and publish our photos within 2 days so that we could receive our gallery before our pup's birthday. Overall, I can't recommend Molly enough! If you are in the Orange County area looking for a photographer for family / milestone photoshoots, Goldensun will not disappoint!

Our photos came out absolutely incredible! I was worried the day of our engagement shoot as the beach was quite crowded but Brandon knew exactly where to go and the angles to capture only us and the beautiful background. My husband and I have never had professional photos taken before so Brandon's guidance on where to look, where to place ourselves, etc were extremely helpful. I cannot express how many compliments I have received on our photos. Even the Walgreens photo employees were complimenting them! I recommend Brandon to any couple! His work is amazing, he is very professional, communicative, and overall the best choice to capture your lifelong memories. Thank you Brandon!!

From start to finish, Brandon made it so easy. My now husband and myself are both awkward introverts that don't take photos, so it was really important for us to find someone easy going who could help us with everything. I came across Brandon's IG page, since I'm sure we all know how algorithms work when you start searching all things wedding, and his elegant and timeless take on photos really stood out to me. We actually entered a contest to win a free engagement shoot and were thrilled to be chosen! As soon as we spoke on a zoom call, I immediately felt like he was someone who I wanted to be with us for our big day. He is so professional, easy to work with, knows what he's doing and SO EFFICIENT. We did so good on time for our wedding day!!! I was so happy to not be rushed and was really able to be in the moment. I can't say enough good things about him. All I know is that I'm obsessed with the photos I got back and if you're looking for a photographer to capture your big day, you really should book Brandon for a seamless photo timeline.
