My wife has always wanted to take professional photos for the holidays, but she had trouble finding…read moresomeone whose style matched what we wanted at an affordable price. Makenzie's reviews and photos impressed us, so we decided to purchase a mini shoot. Since it was scheduled for 15 minutes, I was anxious about the amount of quality photos we'd get. Makenzie wasted no time. Amiable and professional, she made us feel at ease, directed us on how to pose, and snapped all combinations of our family members (myself, my wife, our baby, and our German Shepherd)-all within 15 minutes! We are elated with our family photos, and she even recommended a helpful site to shop for holiday cards. We're looking forward to working with you in the future, Makenzie. Excellent work!

I would recommend Kayla to any bride and I will continue to use her for years to come.

I would enthusiastically recommend Michael to anyone for their professional photo needs!…read more My wife and I had a small wedding ceremony in Ojai and Michael was such a pleasure to work with! He arrived early, waived travel fees, and took some amazing and professional quality pictures. He was flexible to our needs and is an all around amazing person.

My husband and I are expecting our first child, a boy, and since we couldn't have a gender reveal…read moreparty or a baby shower we still wanted to do something memorable to remember these precious times of our pregnancy. So my great husband surprised me by taking me to Santa Barbara for the day and then the cherry on top was that he hired a photographer, Mike, for a private photo shoot by the beach. Mike was extremely professional. He showed up on time and suggested a few locations along the coast, one of which was the Butterfly Beach and it was the perfect spot. He had all of his gear with him, and got right down to business. He is such a visionary and we immediately knew he's a true pro because he would see a rock and would guide us in positioning ourselves in a way that the pose looks both nice and natural at the same time. Photo shoots can sometimes feel a bit forced and a drag but not with Mike. He was talking to us and sharing stories with us the whole time. It was both entertaining and made the whole experience a lot more relaxed and natural. And the cherry on top was that we got all of our photos back within days so the thrill of that experience was still fresh and we were so delighted once we saw the finished photos. He captures amazing and authentic moments. I highly highly recommend Mike to anyone that wants a photo shoot for literary anything. We already know that Mike will do our baby's photo shoot once he's born and all the other previous times in our lives we would like to be captured.

I posted this review on The Knot but being a Yelper, had to share it on here too! :)…read more I cannot say anything but AMAZING things about Melissa Brannon Photography. I met Melissa through my friends that also had her photograph their weddings. When I saw the quality of her photos, I knew immediately that I wanted her for my future wedding. I also did my medical school graduation photos with her and I'm so happy I did! The photos came out amazing. Years later, I met the man of my dreams, got engaged, and found myself excited to plan my wedding. I knew Melissa was going to be one of my first vendor phone calls. From the beginning, she was professional and easy to communicate with. Initially, my fiance and I opted out of the engagement photos part of the package because we had wonderful proposal photos taken by family but we ended up changing our mind and adding it into the package. She allowed us to do so without an issue. We are so glad we did! We weren't sure where to do the photos and she ended up giving us wonderful recommendations. We LOVE our engagement photos. Throughout the wedding process, we felt very taken care of by Melissa. She had us answer questions so she could determine what was important to us and what parts of the wedding was especially important to capture. She was also able to answer all our questions as well. She is extremely experienced. The day of was a dream. Melissa was able to take all the poses, images, and group photos that we wanted for our big day. She captured everything perfectly and I had so many compliments from my family in regards to her professionalism and vibe. She and her team brought such a positive energy to our wedding and I cannot thank her enough. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Melissa for wedding day photography! Book her!

Even before the wedding, her questions and input helped me get an idea of what the day would look like. She also helped me feel comfortable and gave great cues for posing etc., which was so helpful as I'm sometimes uncomfortable taking photos. Her team was amazing too! They + Melissa were all the best hype girls and made me feel confident and beautiful. The phone footage they took of the day as extra content was so special to have too! She is the sweetest and we're so thankful she was our photographer!

She was still able to capture beautiful pictures outdoors and make sure I was safe and comfortable. I was also able to have her take family photos which I was nervous about because I have a very energetic two year old and a sometimes fussy 11 month old, but she was patient and creative with my little ones and still able to get great photos of our family despite a few baby tears and a toddler trying to escape every moment! You can tell she loves what she does, puts a lot of time and effort into her business, and cares about her clients, I highly recommend her! Thank you Janaye!

Meanwhile, people who entered after us were being called back to take their photos. At least the photographer was pleasant. We'll see how the photos turn out.

Leading up the shoot they were great about communicating with us, sending reminders and answering any questions/concerns. During the photoshoot itself we could not have felt more comfortable and truly had so much fun! They knew just how to guide us to make the entire shooting experience very enjoyable and stress-free. You can tell they put a lot of thought into their work and really work with you to capture amazing moments you will cherish forever. We could not have been happier with this experience and highly recommend their photography business!!

When we drove up we didn't see it at first since it's a small building, but once we hit that u-turn we were able to see it. We were prompt and came at the correct time of our appointment, but when we got there they were shooting a students picture and there was another student waiting inside. We probably waited about 10-15 min before they started on my son's photo shoot, but that's not bad considering other places take longer. The guys taking the pictures were pretty quick. They took him to different areas of the lot to get different backgrounds and poses. Several of my son's pictures came out good and I loved them. The guys were professional and very polite. I was in shock to see some of the negative reviews only because we were treated very well. The gal inside was super friendly also and communicated to us that there was another student in front of my son and was informative on how the ordering was going to be like and what to expect when the pictures were done. I really liked this place. If you're trying to find it, don't drive too fast or you'll miss it like we did. There's not a huge amount of parking space, so just know it's limiting parking and make sure to come at your scheduled time so you don't mess with someone else's photo shoot. I'm glad Stockdale High School was able to get this company, I liked the way the staff was and their professionalism. I would recommend them!

I really honestly wish I could give Rubi, herself AND her photography, way more than 5 stars…read more From the beginning of the process Rubi made my husband and I feel so comfortable and cared for. Going through the whole wedding vendor and planning process was stressful. It felt like every vendor really cared about you until they got your money but Rubi was totally different. She made us feel like her friends. She genuinely cared about us the entire time and never made us feel like just clients. Her work is gorgeous. It speaks for itself. Once I saw her photos from a friends wedding who Rubi was the photographer for, I knew we had to work with her and honestly, it was one of the best decisions we made during our planning process. Between her ability to capture real emotion, her ability to make you feel comfortable in every moment, and her amazing work, I plan on using Rubi for every major milestone in our lives. She also is super quick on delivering your collection which is huge as well because I, being the impatient person I am, was dying to see the photos. As our wedding came to a close, And we were done with the day, I was almost sad to be at the end of our relationship with her. In short, Rubi is everything you will want out of a photographer. Her work is gorgeous and she really cares about everyone of her clients. I could NOT recommend her enough. (I realize this post is heavy on how Rubi treated us as clients vs her work, but that was the exact support I didn't know I needed during this planning process. A vendor who cares is so flipping rare in the wedding industry so I just wanted to drive it home)

Book her now! You won't regret it…read more Rubi met all of our expectations and more. Wedding planning is so stressful but Rubi alleviated undo stress with quick responses to any questions we had. She came prepared with questions to the two visionary meetings to focus in on what we wanted captured and how we wanted the final product to look and feel. Before even meeting her, her portfolio captured me in a way that countless others hadn't. I'm a sucker for rich, moody, cinematic landscapes and Rubi provided just that. Rubi devotes so much time and effort in researching how to uniquely enhance each couple, individual, or family. If you have a direction she will get you there. If you're like me and have no clue what you want she will create magic that you didn't know was possible. She is incredibly easy to work with. She values her clients and it shows in her attention to detail and service. My husband hates taking pictures but Rubi made him feel as comfortable as possible and it showed with his smile and genuine relaxed position on film. I promise she is worth every penny.
