Plan Your Northern California Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

Will was INCREDIBLE! I don't even know where to begin with our amazing engagement session. We chose to go with him after looking at his beautiful photos on Instagram and were so happy we did. Will was professional, communicative and knowledgable from the beginning. He booked an hour long Zoom session to get to know us and took the time to answer all of our questions during the months leading up to the session. He helped to build out our location and the exact spots we wanted to go to. He also helped tremendously with outfits, color scheme, props, etc. When it came to the actual photo shoot session, it was so much fun! This was our first photo shoot and Will made us feel comfortable. The session flowed so effortlessly and he spent more than enough time to make sure he captured everything and got all of the content he needed. When the full gallery came not even a month later we were shocked at how quickly we got the photos and so excited at how they turned out! The were absolutely STUNNING and captured exactly what we were hoping for. There are so many amazing photos I'm having trouble narrowing down what to use for my save the dates and wedding website! Will is not only extremely talented but I now consider him a friend! He was so accommodating and easy to get along with that it made our entire experience one that we will never forget.

We hired Julia for our elopement in Sedona and wow! We could not be more grateful for it! First, she is extremely communicate and punctual. You never realize how important this is until you deal with vendors who aren't! Second, she has a true knack for lighting, posing, and capturing the scenery around you. She knows what angles best compliment you and her creative mind allows her to capture the most stunning photos- the ones you see in magazines! She's adventurous and has no fears, which means she's ready to go anywhere: the edge of that cliff, in that freezing cold water, over that chasm, into that cave- you name it, she's up for it! Finally, Julia is genuinely kind. This is very important, as it makes you feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Whether it's your first experience or you are a pro, she dampers the anxiety and makes it an unforgettable and fun experience. It was a pleasure working with such a talented and friendly soul. Thank you Julia, we will cherish these moments forever!

Where do I begin? Vivian photographed our September wedding in Sonoma and every picture is STUNNING! We love the portraits, but her candids is what really took things over the top. All of our guests look like they're glowing in her photos! She truly captured the joy of the day. I could not stop smiling scrolling through our gallery. She went above and beyond to include a photo of all of our guests. Vivian is super cool. She made sure everyone was comfortable and she kept things on time on the wedding day. We were tight one time, but she got my "getting ready" pictures done in minutes. You would never know by looking at them what a short timeframe she had. Vivian already had a strong working relationship with our wedding videographer. That partnership made things run smoothly from a logistical perspective, but more importantly showed how respected Vivian is in the industry. We're so happy we booked her for our big day!! You won't be disappointed working with Vivian.
