Allyson was easy to contact and always prompt with her responses. Jill arrived on time and was able to pick out awesome spots for pictures despite never having been to that venue before. Jill made my husband and I feel at ease and super comfortable throughout our shoot. She gave great suggestions and helped us pose for the best pictures possible. Jill definitely prioritized our requests and made sure that we got all of the portraits we wanted. Again, I absolutely recommend Allyson Magda and her awesome team of photographers.

She was kind enough to squeeze us into her busy schedule last minute and capture beautiful photographs without me even knowing she was there.

Since we are not using a videographer, the pictures were the one thing we wanted to splurge on. After researching and meeting with several photographers, I knew these two were "the one" after the first 15 minutes of meeting them. I can't remember exactly how I stumbled upon them (I think they were featured on Style Me Pretty), but it was their style and perspective that first caught my attention. I didn't want the typical cheesy posed type of pictures (you know what I'm talking about). Their style is different, artsy, and they incorporate leading lines and cool lighting. We shot our engagement pics at a nearby park and my cheeks were hurting by the end from smiling and laughing so much. They were also great with our dog Lady (they have an adorable Aussie named Blossom - her and Lady are probably kindred spirits). So not only are these guys talented, but they're also are fun, easy-going, and truly salt-of-the-earth people with great customer service. Our proofs were done right on time (and how cute is their memory stick that your pictures come on)! I highly recommend He and She! Sooooo happy that we decided to go with them!

I can't thank Blake and Robin enough…read more I need to find better adjectives, but our wedding pictures and video teaser were BEAUTIFUL, warm and candid. Which is exactly what I was looking for in our wedding photos. Thank you for making us feel special and capturing these beautiful moments. Blake captured some awesome shots of my mother in law who despises pictures and is not shy about dodging the photographer, so he gets an A+ just for that! Thank you for your patience and working through our hiccups, which I'm sure no wedding is short of. Thank you so much for allowing us to incorporate Louie's car into our pictures which was a bit last minute but your team handled it so well and even made us look like models! You and Robin truly make an epic team. Wishing you guys many more years of success. If you are looking for a photographer and/or videographer, look no further.

She is communicative, easy going and so professional. My now husband is a photographer himself and had the most respect for and fun with her throughout the process. We loved getting to know her through our engagement photoshoot (part of the photo package we purchased) and made the day of so seamless and fun knowing her better and that we were in the best hands on the biggest day of our lives. To top it off, she delivered us 1,500 photos within a couple weeks of our wedding - a day I spent staring at the magic that she captured for hours and sobbed tears of joy re-living in the most incredible and fun ways. Highly recommend Carlee for any wedding, engagement or family photos - she is the absolute best and most talented around and we are so lucky to have had her capture our day!

Carlee is FABULOUS!! I cannot recommend her enough. Just book her…read more Carlee took senior photos for me and my brother. I had never done a shoot before, and I was nervous I wouldn't like my photos; I'm pretty self-conscious and picky about pictures of myself. I did an incredible amount of research (there are so many photographers in SLO county!) before going with Carlee. She was perfect right from the start. She guided me through each step of the photoshoot process, including pricing and choosing a venue, and was always consistent and clear in her communication. I had a lot of questions and she was very patient with me. When my brother and I met with her to do the shoot, I was pretty anxious. Carlee immediately calmed me down and helped me get into the process. I ended up having a really fun time! I got my photos really quickly, and I LOVE them. They are original, natural (no cringe here), and absolutely beautiful. I actually like pictures of myself! My entire family is also thrilled with the photos. I cannot stress enough how talented she is. Thank you so much Carlee!!

ZOMG, Adam & Chelsea were AMAZING!!!!! My now-husband & I…read morebooked them for our October 2024 wedding for both photography & videography (this review is long overdue, I know) From the initial consultation all the way to when they delivered the final pictures/film --- they were an absolute dream to work with. Our package came with a free engagement shoot but since we already had our engagement shoot, we invited them to come a day early (only if they could) & capture our rehearsal. They didn't miss a beat - they were there during our rehearsal run-through at our venue and were able to get a lay of the land prior to the big day. After our rehearsal, it was golden hour so of course, Adam took a couple shots of my husband & I (took not even 10 min) & let me tell you, from the previews he sent me THAT night --- I was so blown away with how beautiful they turned out. He definitely has an eye for it! FYI - Our package also came with an additional photographer & videographer. So when it came to the day of, they introduced us to James (from StateFarm, lol) & Laura. This completed the DREAM TEAM! Cannot stress how amazing it was to work with these 4, A. MA. ZING! Being the Type-A bride that I was, I provided Mooncrest with a Shot List on request & they delivered on that. They made sure to get the shots we wanted & even some bonuses that we didn't think about. This is why we leave it up to the professionals :) They were professionals but it also felt like we were surrounded by friends. I know they probably get this all the time, but they were hella cool & tbh, if we lived closer - they'd be awesome to hangout with. We received our final edited photos right before Christmas so it served as an early Christmas present to finally see pictures from our wedding & WOW, they turned out so beautiful! From the edits to the stolen (candid) shots - AMAZING (using that word for the millionth time in this review). When we received our Teaser Film, they also provided a "Message from your guests" video, which was a complete surprise for us & a wonderful surprise at that. It was so cool to see our friends and families wishing us well, behind-the-scenes style. Such a great bonus! Once we received our full wedding video, they provided a Documentary Edit so that we can relive the moments in real time - First look, private vows, ceremony, & speeches. So, something to make note of - during the initial consultation --- my husband only had one request, he wanted to make sure all the speeches were recorded. So I am guessing this led to them providing the Documentary Edit & we are soooo thankful for this. It's something we can watch over & over again & relive the key moments. Our final wedding film took the cake! Adam & his edits, geeez louis! This man has got the eye and talent. His edits were impeccable & we couldn't have dreamed of a better way of capturing one of the most important days of our lives. From the songs he chose (which he used our friend's cover who performed during our cocktail hour) to the cuts/transitions -- *chef's freakin' kiss! The day of our wedding went by in a blur but the photos and film captured, we will forever cherish. Mooncrest helped us remember things that happened during the day that we don't even recall because it went by so fast. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone. If you want pictures that look like they're out of a magazine and videos give you the feels - BOOK MOONCREST! You will not regret it!

This was unexpected but greatly appreciated. I would recommend him for your next event or photoshoot without hesitation.

We chose Kirsten to be our wedding photographer later this year. We just had our engagement photo…read moresession recently and OH MY GOSH she is just incredible. First of all, I want to be her best friend. She's so kind, super funny, she matched our banter well and we had so much fun with her. I have never been a fan of being in photos, and when I opened ours I actually cried with how happy I was this them. To make me feel so happy, to capture our little family and our love so well when we're both awkward people, is something so beyond talent, hard work, experience and skill. First of all, I totally forgot about engagement photos. She followed up a little bit after booking with her, and we set a date that was a ways out as my fiance was injured and wanted to wear shoes rather than a rehab boot Then, she asked if I need outfit help. I work a job with a uniform, and have two t-shirts and one pair of jeans that double whammy as my work jeans and nice jeans, so the answer was yes. She asked a few follow up questions to determine what our style is. Within an hour she had made a Pinterest board for us with over 50 pins of outfits for the both of us. It was perfect and thanks to her shopping for this photo session was a breeze. Then the time came for us to be in front of the camera. Kirsten learned very quickly that we avoid cameras But within minutes, thanks to her coaching and prompting, we were able to let our guard down, be silly, have fun and have some wonderfully intimate looking photos. She went above and beyond walking our property, finding nice spots, getting us to loosen up and be comfortable, and she included our pup Maggie in everything she could! When we tried a photo I thought would be cute but wasn't working because the puppy was being a puppy, Kirsten said let me try something, and was able to photoshop the shot for me. So silly but something so kind and considerate of her to do. Can't recommend her enough for her skills and her personality, and I am so excited to have her on our wedding day and will be a loyal customer throughout our life.

After some thoughtful research, what sold us on…read morehis work was his effortless ability to capture the perfect moments of a wedding day--especially his night photography and dance floor shots. He is incredibly professional, and we felt very comfortable with him from the start. He made us laugh, which was so helpful in easing those stressful moments. We were very impressed with his timeline and how smoothly he kept everything moving. He was prompt, had great ideas for photo locations to get the best results, and was also open to our input--making sure our ideas came to life. Andy was flexible with his packages to fit our budget; we had originally planned for five hours of coverage but decided to upgrade to the full eight hours because photography is so important to us. His communication throughout the entire process was amazing. He provided a helpful welcome guide to navigate the wedding process and a detailed questionnaire to plan out who would be photographed during cocktail hour. Again, his communication was flawless! Here was our timeline for a 4:00 PM wedding with a first look: 2:00 - Photography begins / detail shots and getting ready 2:40 - First Look 3:00 - Bridal Party (together, separate, solos) 4:00 - Ceremony 4:30 - Family Photos / Cocktail Hour 5:45 - Grand Entrance with First Dance 6:00 - Dinner 6:30 - Shoe Game 6:45 - Speeches 7:00 - Sunset Photos 7:20 - Dances 7:25 - Open Dance Floor 9:50 - Bubble Exit 10:00 - Photography ends Helpful tip to those planning a wedding, we only wished we had also hired a videographer to capture the words said or designate someone to take videos with their phone.
