We had the pleasure of working with Grace Kathryn Photography for our wedding. Grace was an absolute joy to work with - she was efficient and detailed in her communication, always responding quickly to emails and keeping us updated every step of the way. Most importantly, Grace genuinely cared about capturing our love story and making sure we were happy with the photos. Her photography style is airy and beautifully epic. The photos turned out even better than we could have imagined, perfectly encapsulating all of the special moments and emotions from our big day. Grace was so helpful on the wedding day itself, guiding us through the schedule and making sure we stayed on track. She was constantly smiling and kept the mood light. We couldn't have asked for a better, kinder photographer to document our wedding journey. Grace's professionalism, talent and caring spirit made her an invaluable vendor and we'd recommend her enthusiastically to any couple looking for a photographer. We are so blessed to have found her.

Holly was the best investment of my entire wedding. She not only delivered incredible engagement photos but the most magical wedding photos I could have ever hoped for - and I’ve only seen the sneak peeks! Her editing skills are also so precise and iconic - I love all the photos and she nailed the photos of my and my fiancee, which was my priority. Her energy is also so down to earth and relaxed which made me and my fiancé feel at ease with the photos. I look forward to having another party just so I can hire her again :)

Nerves, adrenaline, excitement and fun are a part of every photo shoot. Our years of experience and award winning expertise, will be there to help you through it all. We believe that you are not only buying pictures and video of your wedding, you are investing into memories that can be passed on generation to generation.

We think its awesome when you guys get involved in the creative process with us by sharing information about yourself such as your hobbies, favorite places, etc.

Brett and his videographer were great to work with! Our coordinator had us on a tight timeline, but Brett was quick, efficient, and made sure to capture all the important details and more. He struck the perfect balance between getting us for posed shots and giving us space to enjoy the day. The posed photos are stunning, and he also captured really beautiful candid moments. Brett was incredibly organized, making sure everything was clear well in advance so we knew exactly what to expect and what to have ready for his arrival. We ended up with so many gorgeous photos, and our highlight video reel is something we’ll cherish forever. Everything came within the promised timeline, and Brett was also very accommodating with a few additional requests we had. The investment was absolutely worth it for everything we received, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results!

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

My husband and I met Sarah in 2021 for our engagement shoot. We were blow away with the quality of photos she delivered. Sarah has a natural gift for capturing each couples true selves. In each photo Sarah took of us our personalities were able to shine because she made us feel comfortable. We had so much fun on our shoot that we flew Sarah out to FL to capture our wedding day. Once again Sarah did not disappoint! We absolutely love our wedding gallery. I was impressed that Sarah was able to acclimate to weather restrictions and a change of plans last minute. Sarah is so talented and so lovely to be around. We would highly recommended her !

We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Alli – Alexandra Wallace for our engagement and wedding photos. From the initial consultation to the final delivery (within 30 days of the date!) of the photos, every step of the process was handled smooth, organized and her creativity is amazing! On the day of the wedding, Alli went above and beyond to capture every special moment. She was well-prepared, but also incredibly personable, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. Her ability to blend into the background while still capturing candid, intimate moments was truly impressive. We love her style each and every photo. What sets Alli apart is her attention to detail and dedication. She knew the perfect spots for our first look, bridal shots, and family photos. She also managed to capture the essence and emotions of the day beautifully, providing us with a stunning collection of photos that we will cherish forever. As promised, the final photos were delivered well before the promised date. The quality of the images exceeded our expectations; every photo was vibrant, well-composed, and perfectly edited.

They understood and appreciated our desire to capture genuine, nonscripted moments in our wedding photos and we are so happy with the results. It was harder for them to make sure they took pictures of everyone we loved without the traditional family photos, but their care and commitment came through and they delivered on all our needs.

It is my goal to bring raw emotion to life and tell a unique story (your story) through each photograph. Having been in the industry for well over a decade I have the experience and expertise to provide my clients with both the professionalism and personal detail in which I believe every client deserves.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittany is an UNBELIEVABLY talented photographer. It was an incredible gift to be able to relax on my wedding day and fully trust that Brittany would capture everything. Our venue was at a private residence rather than a traditional wedding venue so, naturally, Brittany had never been there before yet, in an instant, she scoped out all the best spots to shoot, both indoors and outdoors, and she single-handedly captured the entire day after our second shooter called out sick. Our photos are STUNNING. She is a true artist. Had I been offered the choice of any photographer in the world, I still would've chosen Brittany. I think it might be impossible for anyone to not love her work. As a bonus, she is an absolute gem of a human being and someone you just want to be around. Thank you, Brittany, it was an honor to have you capture our wedding.

Leah helped make our wedding the best day of our life. From the beginning, Leah was easy to work with, she listened closely to what we envisioned for our wedding and was able to provide us with creative ideas when we needed some help or felt overwhelmed. Leah's photography skills were superb and she provided us with so many beautiful pictures of us, our friends, venues, and so much more. Her turnaround time on getting us the photos was so quick too! Not only did she provide great photos, but she assisted as our "day-of-coordinator." Leah eased our fears so many times leading up to the wedding, she was easy to get a hold of or would reach out to us to make sure our wedding was coming together, and helped us communicate with some our other vendors when we needed an extra hand. Leah was the MVP of our wedding! You NEED her to be your photographer and she is worth every penny to be your day-of-coordinator too. We will be using Leah again for family photos!

I'm so happy you're here! My name is Lena and I'm all about the "spices of life" thanks to my strong Scandinavian roots. My studio started and currently resides in the fields of the Santa Ynez Valley, and spans to the beautiful landscapes, architecture, and vibrant vibes of Santa Barbara County.

What can we possibly say about Lena? She was the perfect addition to our wedding day. Her communication and flexibility during the preceding year kept our minds at ease (anything you don't have to stress about while planning a wedding is a win). On the day, she was such a positive presence to have around. And from what we've seen of the photos so far, we couldn't have possibly had anyone better. Thank you so much, Lena!!

We had the absolute best experience with our wedding photographer! From the moment she and her second shooter Lauren arrived, they brought such warmth and ease to the day. My husband and I are both notoriously awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable and natural—it honestly felt like hanging out with friends. The preview photos we’ve received so far are absolutely stunning, and I couldn’t be happier with her work. I’m beyond excited to see the full gallery. What impressed me even more was how gracefully they adapted to the day’s hiccups. Despite less-than-ideal direction, they rolled with the punches and got creative, making sure to capture everything beautifully and meaningfully. I truly can’t recommend her enough—professional, talented, calm under pressure, and just an overall joy to work with. Book her. You won’t regret it!

She knows the Santa Barbara Courthouse like the back of her hand. Our Mural Room photos could not be more beautiful. From the very first query, we felt relief. She responded quickly to questions and concerns. Her website is easy to navigate and informative. Cherry was so easy to work with and so accommodating. She even figured out a way to get post ceremony beach photos with our tight schedule. Her personality put us at ease and it shows in the finished photos. Contact ByCherry Photography!

Augusta Ottillia Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Goleta, CA

My passion for photography was built on nostalgia. From a young age, I loved opening of the old holiday popcorn tins full of generations of family photos that my mom kept in the hallway closet. It felt magical to pull out old memories and hear my mom recall the story behind a photo. Now, I love to capture these special memories for my clients to pass down to the next generation. My job is to encourage and direct you so you feel comfortable and confident while taking photos, capturing each unique story in a creative and authentic way. I do this by creating a space for us to truly get to know each other and be ourselves.

If you are reading this review in search of a wedding photographer, you can stop the search now, because Augusta is who you want! Augusta is so talented, so easy to connect with, and takes the time to truly understand what you and your partner are hoping to capture. On our actual wedding day, there were many times we were running behind schedule, and Augusta quickly adapted and still managed to capture more than we ever hoped for, or expected. More than that, I'm not sure how many weddings Augusta has worked, but she makes you feel like the most important and special person, is so attentive, has such a calming yet commanding presence (exactly what you need, but didn't know you needed until the day is actually unfolding), and makes you feel like you've been lifelong friends. She's extremely professional, great with communication, and if I had 15 weddings, I'd want her for all 15 of them.
