This is coming a husband's perspective. My wife had a very specific idea in her mind in terms of how she wanted the photos to look and feel, and Adrienne met all of my wife's expectations and more. We received so many positive reviews from our guests when we shared the wedding gallery that it really became one of the best investments we made for our wedding.

I will start by saying that Adrienne was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had spoken to maybe 4-5 photographers of different skill levels and price. What first stood out to me about Adrienne amongst everyone else was her upbeat attitude, her willingness to take the time to answer all of our questions, and lastly, her ability to adapt to what her client was looking for. Her portfolio shows several different styles, but what was important for my wife and me was for our photos to look natural and effortless, or photojournalism is the technical term.

Her packages range but she is willing to work with her clients and tailor it to your specific needs. My wife and I opted for the engagement shoot and wedding day. She did a wonderful job shooting us at Old Orange County Courthouse, where my wife and I got legally married a year earlier. We were really happy with how the photos turned out and decided to order a few prints from her to display at our wedding.

On the actual wedding day, her and our wedding coordinator Yingka Chou from MasterPlans made everything seamless and easy. Adrienne stayed with my wife and her wedding party, while I had the second photographer, who did an amazing job as well. We were able to capture all of the moments that my wife and I wanted and as I mentioned before, we couldn't be happier with the results. Our wedding day was a whirlwind of emotions and it was all a blur at the time, but because of Adrienne, we are able to look back on these photos forever.

I can't reiterate enough that choosing the right photographer is a crucial part of wedding planning. Think of it : the photographer will 1) take photos that you spend thousands of dollars on and there is only one opportunity at making sure it is perfect and 2) the photographer should really enhance the overall wedding experience and not add additional stress to an already stressful day.

Adrienne not only was the right fit for what we were looking for in terms of style, but she actually made it an enjoyable experience because of her attitude and her constant guidance and reassurance. This is coming from a guy who REALLY REALLY DOES NOT NORMALLY LIKE TO TAKE PHOTOS. And the photos turned out perfect!

Wedding planning was so stressful - so many people emphasized the importance of finding the right photographer to capture the big day. But meeting Adrienne was the best thing that happened to me and my husband!

Adrienne photographed our engagement session and wedding and she was so wonderful to work with. My husband and I are not particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but she put us at ease and captured some truly beautiful moments that I continue to look back on.

She is very professional and communicative, but we love her because she’s also such a sweet and caring person. She makes an effort to get to know her couples and I feel like that makes all the difference in the final product.

Although our big day is over, I’m already looking forward to the next big event when my husband and I can work with Adrienne again!

Adrienne captured our wedding last year in February. Initially, we felt pretty awkward being photographed, but she made us feel so comfortable. She was great at directing us and managed to capture these sweet and genuine moments. She made sure to switch it up so there was plenty of variety for a great album.

In regards to communication, she was very prompt at responding and made sure she answered all of our questions. Adrienne was proactive in communicating her progress so we were never left wondering. The pricing is also very reasonable and quite frankly, is considered a bargain for the quality of photos she delivers. She is professional in her work ethic, but she also has a warm personality and makes you feel at ease.

When it came to our wedding, she took advantage of all the nearby locations that were surrounding our venue. She already knew the wedding shot photos to take so we didn't even have to provide a list to her. If you have special requests, then do share them with her to make sure they are included. Otherwise, they are probably already on her list. She has been in the business for many years now and you can tell because of how easy she makes the job look! The candid moments she captured are some of my favorites.

Booking with Adrienne Gunde Photography was hands down, one of the easiest decisions we made in wedding planning! I recommend booking your engagement session with her as well. It helped us get more comfortable and gave us an idea of what we wanted for our wedding photos.

If you need any more convincing, I suggest checking out her website! :)

Adrienne is truly a fantastic, unbelievably talented photographer! After browsing through what seemed to be hundreds of different photography websites sent to us by our wedding planner, we came across Adrienne's website. My husband and I knew immediately that she was the one for us. The way she captures moments is incredible. Both her portraits and her candids are second to none. We were so excited to begin planning our engagement session. She responded through email very fast and had lots of ideas. We gave her some direction and she helped us find the perfect location. Once we met on the day of our engagement shoot, she made us feel so comfortable. Having photos taken for hours can be uncomfortable and awkward to say the least, but Adrienne has a sweet, friendly, easy way about her that helped us be totally comfortable. And those PHOTOS! Wow! Once they arrived, we were BLOWN AWAY! The soft light she captures is truly incredible! After seeing the engagement photos, we knew the wedding photos would be even better!

On the day of our wedding, Adrienne arrived with a second shooter who was amazing and so sweet as well! Adrienne has a way of capturing tons and tons of photos without feeling overly intrusive. She is so sweet and nice and has a real gift for photography. Our wedding photos arrived a few weeks after our big day and we were not disappointed. They are BEYOND AMAZING! Really, the beauty of the photos is overwhelming. Adrienne, thank you for capturing such amazing moments! The photos are something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We can't wait for the album Adrienne is creating for us.

When we first started wedding planning, I knew that I wanted to make photography one of my top priorities and was willing to splurge a little in order to get the perfect photographer and pictures. When I came across Adrienne's blog, I was hooked! Her photos are light, airy, romantic, and feel very organic and not posed. Working with Adrienne has been such a breeze -- she's responsive to emails, is great at directing when taking photos, and is very encouraging and so sweet. And our photos are incredible -- she documented our day perfectly and we couldn't be happier!

Adrienne is the best! I had been following her blog for a little while and really loved how soft and natural looking her photos were. She also happened to be a friend's photographer a year before and she highly recommended her. Adrienne was super personable and friendly from the get go. I really appreciated that because it was kind of discouraging when contacting other photographers and they didnt sound as excited or friendly. We met up with her at her studio in Long Beach and it was like meeting with an old friend. We laughed so hard, my cheeks hurt after. We couldnt wait to book with her and start shooting! Adrienne is so easy to talk to and full of ideas. For our engagement shoot, I gave her the basic idea of what I envisioned and she made it happen and the photos came out so amazing. It was our first time doing any kind of photoshoot so at first we were pretty nervous but she quickly made us feel comfortable and we ended up shooting for a couple hours but it felt like it went by quickly. We couldnt stop looking at the photos when we got them. Along the way, we had to make some changes to locations and times, and she was very accommodating and helpful. She responds to emails promptly. On the wedding day, she made us all feel comfortable and was able to shoot natural looking/candid shots. We made a list of particular shots that we wanted and she made sure to get all of them! We probably got our photos about a month out of our engagement shoot and wedding day and they were so amazing. The quality of the photos were so crisp and clear and vibrant. We received so many complements on our photos! Thank you so much Adrienne! Cant wait to work with you again! :)

My wife and I were introduced to Adrienne through a mutual friend when he heard we were looking for a wedding photographer. She came very highly recommended and upon viewing her work online, we instantly fell in love with the bright and vibrant style of her photography!

Adrienne is very easy to work with and we had no problems scheduling our engagement shoot despite our small window of availability in LA (we live in Texas). She responded quickly to our questions, addressed all our concerns, and left a great first impression during our video chat interview. We even exchanged ideas on how to prepare for the shoot, so we had a much better idea on things we needed to bring and what would work at her studio, which she very graciously offered to let us use. The shoot ended up being a lot of fun as she really put us both at ease and had us laughing and smiling for many of the photos.

Our experience with Adrienne at our wedding was no different. She was punctual, organized and professional as always on our big day. These may sound like a very basic expectations, but having a photographer that adds zero stress means a lot with so many other things to worry about. Adrienne took care of the list of family group shots we'd provided prior to the wedding, while her second shooter Angel always seemed to know where to be to capture special moments throughout the day. We trusted Adrienne completely, and did not feel any need to make specific requests.

There are so many reasons why she is amazingly awesome, but the best ones are her skills are a photography, her professionalism, and how wonderful she is to work with. We love how our engagement and wedding photos came out, and feel very lucky to have had Adrienne photograph our wedding!

My husband and I were actually about to sign a contract with another photographer when Adrienne got back to us for a initial meeting. We decided to hold off meet with her instead. Adrienne was the 5th photographer we met with, and as soon as we met her, we decided she was the one and booked her instantly. From our experiences with all the other photographer we met with, we realized that a photographer who can take amazing photos is almost a dime a dozen. You need to dig a little deeper then just a good photo. We were looking for a style that was more bright and fun compared to a more glamorous type of photography. We wanted a photographer that would be able to capture the energy and emotion of our special day. And most importantly, we wanted our photography to be a reflection of who we are as a couple. Based on those criteria, any of the five photographers we interviewed could have delivered. So what makes Adrienne so special? When we met with Adrienne, there was a connection, a spark, like falling in love. A feeling like we were good friends who have not seen each other in a long time. When we met her, we realized just how important that connection was. The photographer you pick is someone who you're going spend the most important day of your life with. Other vendors, they come, do their thing, then leave. So you need to make sure that you enjoy your photographer's company enough to have them around all day and someone you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. I believe that if you are comfortable with the photographer, then they can bring out your natural expressions instead of having to force a fake smile. Adrienne has a personality that is very easy to get along with and she is extremely easy to work with. Our engagement pictures and the wedding itself was very fun and stress free thanks to her. We highly recommend Adrienne not only for her amazing work, but her sweet personality.

My wife and I learned about Adrienne's work through a referral. We have seen the job she has done through their albums and were very impressed. She is very professional and responsive when we first contacted her. When we had a face to face meeting with Adrienne, she showed us her portfolio and were even more impressed by her work. Adrienne answered all the questions we had and we walked out of that meeting feeling very confident that she was the right person for the job. Besides talking business on that day, Adrienne also showed her awesome personality which makes it that much easier working with a vendor.
We live in the Bay Area so these types of meetings arent easy for us to book if we ever need anything from Adrienne. As I mentioned, she is a true professional and is easily accessible via phone or email and answers all questions with a quick turnaround time. Adrienne is very accomodating and will work out the details with you to your liking. Her pricing is also very fair. What more do you want from a photographer? There might be an element of the unknown regarding other vendors for our big day, but with Adrienne as our photographer, that's one less "worry" off our list. If friends and colleagues are ever looking for a photographer, we are definitely handing over her contact information.

Adrienne was wonderful from beginning to end. Our pictures are so beautiful and we have received so many comments from our friends and family. Adrienne is young, has great energy and a great eye.
Both my husband and I felt instantly comfortable with her when we met her and even more so when we did our engagement photos. She is reasonably priced and you get a great value for the pictures in return. We didn't have to wait too long to get our proofs and we couldn't be happier. She's definitely someone we will keep in touch with for photos in the future.
She's great!
