He is unobtrusive and perfectly blends in with the party, while maintaining the utmost professionalism. All of our guests only had the most positive things to say, and were just as happy as we are with their own photos. Nik was very speedy in getting us our photos after the wedding and we have had so much fun reliving the weekend, seeing all the details we forgot about, and sharing them with all of our guests. We cannot recommend Nik more emphatically!

Also, I know she must post-edit her images, but it's nothing too over-the top, everything looks very natural. What you don't see in her portfolio is how it is to work with her. She is extremely warm yet professional. For my elopement not only was she able to recommend a wonderful officiant and florist- and picked up the flowers the morning of! she really went above and beyond for her sense of adventure. She was with us the entire action-packed day starting with a walk in the redwoods, a picknick at a winery and even went out on a kayak with us as we free-dove the kelp and explored some other features of the coast. What a great sport! I doubt many photographers would do that, on top of having great skills. I can't thank her enough for helping us our special day, and for capturing it all so well. I look back on our photos nearly daily to remember it.

We appreciated her timely communication and after speaking with her, we could sense that she is warm and welcoming. As we were both feeling a bit camera-shy, this was a great comfort to us. After receiving our first photos, we were awestruck at the quality of her work. She was able to achieve such stunning use of light and capture the natural beauty of Mendocino. She gave helpful prompts to guide us during the photo session yet let us be ourselves at the same time. I can't stop looking at the photos she took. They are truly remarkable! If you are considering Cassandra for your photographer, I highly recommend her, both as a gifted photographer and a wonderful person to work with. Thank you for capturing our special day!

I cannot imagine a better photographer than Holly. She is beyond talented. She was so incredibly…read morefun to work with. I never once felt the camera was invasive. She made everyone of my guests feel comfortable and happy, and that comes through in the photos. She was able to get the most amazing shots. Our sunset photoshoot with her was something we dreaded, because we didn't want to miss a single moment with our guests. But with her guidance, it became this truly romantic moment I shared with my husband. It was a such moment of stillness and connection that it became our favorite part of the wedding. We are so thankful to her for building that experience for us. She is a true professional.

Holly has been amazing to work with. She shot our engagement photos up at Kirkwood Mountain and spent the day chasing us around the snow. Her communication style and vision really made us feel comfortable as we like the more candid shots. We loved our engagement photos so much, and Holly as a person, that we brought her to Thailand with us for our wedding. We got married on the island of Koh Samui with 60 of our closest friends and family, and Holly fit right in. She was charming, professional, social, and in the mix getting ever photo we asked over the 5 days. Holly captures all the moments you want to remember. I can't stop looking at our photos. She has a ton of energy, is adventurous with her camera, and isn't afraid to direct you or your people (but not in harsh way) - she gets the best out of you by making sure you are just being you. After working with Holly she's become my go to photographer (and a friend) who I recommend to all my friends for local and destination weddings, photos shoots, and adventure travel!

There are at least 3 photographers whose work is sold here, as well as some excellent pottery (the potter is married to one of the photographers, and their young child has some of his paintings for sale).

He was knowledgeable not just of his own photographs, but also of the others. While I was amazed at the artistic ability reflected in almost all of the photographs, I was especially enthralled with wave images by, I think Jon Klein.
