Kind Words From Our Couples

  • Rachel was recommended by a friend and working with her exceeded expectations! She was quick to reply and great at communicating leading up to the wedding. Before our wedding, we shared inspiration photos and she suggested props to help us execute our vision. She also researched photographing our location beforehand. On our wedding day, she was on time and ready to go right away. She did a great job directing poses for us and our families. Rachel also has a great creative eye that brought a joyful energy to our photos. Highly recommend!
    Julie S.
  • I love this team so much already! They have been amazing to work with and have great communication skills from Rachel, Leza, Melika, Nora, and our officiant, Shawn. The whole process is so worth booking. As a busy couple, we needed an extra hand for our City Hall SF marriage. And they made our flowers just like we asked for! I am a social worker, and it is obvious that their team knows weddings and how to make sure the day flows smoothly. We had a snafu and the team helped us so much. I will post more of the review after my photos are sent as well. We had a fantastic day at City Hall on 10/31. First photo is a cell phone photo I last min asked for :) Dog friendly is always a plus.

  • I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rachel and her team! Her team makes the wedding day planning way less stressful as they organize as much or as little as you need. Rachel and Leza are super easy to talk to and very helpful! They helped me plan for a makeup artist and photographer to meet us at Pelican Inn for our small wedding. Nataly met me at my hotel and did a beautiful job on my makeup-she knew exactly what I wanted and made it happen! Kasey our photographer was there early and took lovely photographs of small details and interactions before and after the ceremony. She was extremely sweet and the photos are gorgeous. Rachel also helped plan and photograph my sister’s beach elopement back in 2021 and we had the same experience! I cannot recommend this team enough!
