We were beyond thrilled to have had Randi and Adrian be our wedding photographer & videographer!…read more While wedding planning: (found first on Yelp!) From the start, I spoke to Randi and she knew how to ask the right questions to figure out what kind of wedding vision & experience we wanted so that she could design it to make it whimsical, picturesque, romantic, and natural! (The wedding planning process is so busy and daunting too, and it's so difficult to shop and inquire with different vendors in all of the wedding planning categories. Randi made me feel so assured in how she and Adrian could go through the entire process for the wedding! My brother in law has always been interested in photography for decades, and helped to look at many different photographers' samples - and declared that Randi's was the best quality by far! Other's promised extras like drones and extra photos, but my BIL said their photo quality was very simple point+shoot. We also personally loved Adrian's sampling of his prior beach weddings! Minor bonus is he spoke a little Polish and that helped with some of the family photo shoots!) Handling our shoots: Myself being shyer and unsure especially how to pose, Randi & Adrian knew exactly how to guide us for our photos along with the ceremony, beach and mountain scenery, backdrop, and throughout the reception -- while also making the wedding night be captured naturally. We could tell the extreme level of effort and knowledge they physically and visually put into preparing the right timing, scenery, lighting and flow of the night to get all of the right shots! Final products: We loved the way all of the high quality photos and video turned out, including capturing backgrounds, family, friends, our many couples poses, and the ceremony + reception. Please see some photos I've added of the photo album that she designed! The photo album is such beautiful quality with glossy styling and gold-outlining on the thick pages, and the flow of the photos in the album all tell the perfect story of the wedding! (The 4k video theatrically captures the feelings and beautiful scenery of the entire wedding in a 3-min short that my family loved watching after, but of course is not pictured here).

BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!! Randi captured my engagement,…read morewedding, and maternity photos, and each session was nothing short of amazing. She brings such creativity and professionalism to every shoot, making me feel completely comfortable and safe on set. Randi helps with posing in a way that feels natural, even for someone like me who can be a bit camera-shy! For the maternity shoot, Randi and her team went above and beyond. They had a fantastic wardrobe stylist and makeup artist, and they all worked together seamlessly. It was clear they cared deeply about the photos and were genuinely invested in making each moment perfect--I never felt like just another client. The photos turned out stunning, capturing every special moment beautifully. I couldn't recommend Randi more!

Tyler has been nothing but amazing and super easy to work with! We've been with Tyler since 2016!…read moreMy bro/SIL referred her to us in 2016 and we've had both of our maternity sessions, 2newborn sessions and family photos with her. We love her style and she's always listening/providing suggestions for our photos to deliver the look and vision I had with each session! She once went out of her way to ask another client to use their residential access to a beach location and they ended up offering us to use their decors! And because of that, we got the best pictures. She turned a cold and super windy photo session into perfect shots! You would have never guessed that our hair was flying all over the place. It was one of my favorite sessions with Tyler. She's also great with kids that my 3 year old still remembers her name! Tyler has also been very responsive and accommodating. When we forgot to take a specific family shot, she was accommodating with meeting up so that we could retake that missed shot. We also love her quick turnaround time! And get so excited when we see that email in our inbox.

Helen had a great location recommendation in our area and even provided outfit guidance to make things easier for us. Our session felt relaxed and joyful, and it was all thanks to Helen. We just got our gallery of images back and I'm beyond pleased with how they turned out. I tend to feel a little self-conscious in photos, but I truly loved how Helen captured my husband and I. She provided just the right amount of guidance to help us relax and look our best. Don't hesitate to hire Helen for whatever special moments you have upcoming.

Helen was so patient with soothing our newborn throughout the shoot. She also took careful attention to our space and helped pull out outfits / props that would work well for the photos. She was so well prepared and experienced that everything went seamlessly during the shoot. Helen's process for selecting photos and reviewing the final gallery was easy and seamless. We did ask for a minor adjustment for some of the retouching which Helen turned around incredibly quickly. We also chose to opt in for the 1 min video and I'm so glad we did! The moments she captured during the shoot were so precious and I'm glad we have professional shots of our baby girl in her newborn phase to look back on. I've watched it a million times already. Thank you Helen! I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family looking for a newborn photographer.

The shoot went flawlessly--Melanie arrived on time, thoughtfully scouted multiple locations throughout the garden, and even managed to win over the teenagers. She was incredibly patient and accommodating, especially with my parents who have limited mobility, making everyone feel comfortable and included. Our photos are absolutely stunning and deeply meaningful to our family. Melanie captured both the natural beauty of the garden and the joy of our time together. We are so grateful for these memories and highly recommend her.

Day of, we showed up on time to her studio, which is in a house in the Lindberg park area if you are familiar with Culver City. So lots of parking all over in residential area. She gave us some options for color schemes and looks and whisked the baby away for her shoot. Then before you know if, it's done! She is really good with communicating ETAs and sending previews.

Mily kindly gave us some suggestions and recommended a location that she was familiar with and had the characteristics we were hoping for.

Wow... just wow. Ver…read morewas just amazing from the get go. I had a really private, confidential wedding. That's still a big life moment you know? I really wanted it to be captured beautifully. She was one of the best photographers in the area and she responded so quickly and with such kindness. She has over 25 years of experience as a make up artist, model and photographer and honestly, it shows... she's the best stylist and photographer I've had, for many reasons. It was a small wedding- just the groom and I. A lot of photographers were charging more than the ceremony but she is so reasonable with prices and is willing to work with you. Other photographers treat you just like a client but she was so hands on. She really took a lot of time out of her day to go in detail with me about what I wanted and she wanted to do. She gave me such professional service without breaking my wallet. The really amazing thing about Ver is that she is genuinely invested in a quality of craft. She wants to do the best she can always, no matter how long it takes. I love how patient yet disciplined she is. Honestly, she saved my wedding day-- I broke a front tooth a couple hours before the ceremony!!! It was awful, but she was so supportive and positive that she cheered me right up (along with my dude). I was unsure and nervous but her calm confidence really changed the game. Even with the most messed up smile, she still made me look gorgeous for the event. I look at the pictures she took everyday. :) Thank you so much, Veronica. That was the most special day of my life and you were a surprise guardian angel! I walked in a client but walked out feeling like I found a friend in her. I've done some photo shoots but this was my favorite one. I'll always remember you.

Katee had the basics down--reliability, punctuality, competitive price--but went far beyond that.

Katee immersed herself in the unusual scene and seemed to take a genuine interest in the guests and merriment.

She was a pleasure to work with and I'd turn to Katee again in a heartbeat.
