Wow, Eve is the total package! Her photographs are beautiful, she is well organized, and so so good at working with different personalities (and difficult family members!). As an LGBTQ+ wedding, she made us feel totally at ease, included, and best of all - special! We booked Eve for our June 2024 wedding after meeting her at a friends' wedding and from the jump we connected with each other and I knew she was going to be perfect for our wedding. Eve is a great communicator and was fun to work with. We organized an incredible engagement shoot and it was delightful to see Eve's creativity at work. The shots turned out amazingly too, and we received rave reviews from family and friends! For the wedding itself, Eve sent an easy worksheet for us to complete of all family / friend photos, along with some helpful tips for how to stay hydrated and prepared the day-of. At the wedding, Eve made us feel at easy and never asked for too much. We also had plenty of time to actually enjoy the evening! And to top if off, the photographs perfectly capture the energy and mood of the event! Thank you Eve!

Eve truly goes above and beyond in everything she does. Her work as a photographer is unmatched; she brings beauty into everything she captures. You can absolutely tell that photography is her calling and she loves what she does. My husband and I are both camera shy and Eve managed to create a fun and freeing atmosphere and brought us both out of our shell. I was married in 2020 and often look back on our photos in awe. My family was so impressed by Eve’s work that my sister hired her for her wedding this past year. I was so happy to see Eve again because she excels at creating relationships with her couples! She makes every shoot so fun and truly becomes a friend. Her knowledge of the wedding industry and network of vendors was crucial as we planned our wedding and pivoted our plans due to covid. Eve was with us through it all and she was a standout star of all of our vendors. You will not regret hiring her as part of your once in a lifetime celebration!

Eve was a stand out amongst our wedding vendor team. After our initial photographer indicated there would be a high chance she couldn't show, we moved quick to secure a new photographer just a month before the wedding. It was important to us to find a quality photographer with an eye for some of the artsy/moody photos we were hoping for. Enter Eve who really did come and save the day. From the moment we met, she was so kind and showed a true interest in getting to know us as a couple.

She was an absolute rock star during our wedding. We had a larger wedding (150 ppl) and she handled it with grace; always staying patient but giving direction confidently when need be. One of our favorite things Eve did was our private vows. We were considering scrapping it as it might be too complicated logistically, but Eve knew how important that time would later be and moved quick to find a quiet spot to make it happen. That really set the tone for my now wife and I, and was one of our most cherished moments on our wedding day.

And the photos! We just received our full gallery and they're so beautiful! We feel so lucky to have worked with Eve. I would absolutely recommend her and hope to work with her again some day. Thank you Eve!

We researched many other photographers, even met them on Zoom, but Eve was the kindest, most professional photographer of them all. Most of all, the quality of her photos were exactly what we were hoping for. Being one of the most important days of our life, we wanted to make sure we had a photographer that captured every special moment, and Eve did that perfectly. Her engagement shoot was incredibly fun and relaxing, and on the big day, she was very thoughtful throughout the process, fully aware of the stress we were feeling with so much needing to go well. Her presence honestly relieved the anxiety of the day, and her photos are remarkable. Eve is the Best.

Eve was so wonderful! We were able to use her for our engagement shoot and wedding and she was professional, kind, and of course had beautiful pictures. She was willing to explore new locations with us for both shoots and made excellent recommendations for timelines for the wedding. She even bought us dinner after our engagement shoot! We truly loved working with her. She got us our sneak peek photos within 3 days, just as promised and we were thrilled. Can't recommend her enough!

Eve is so amazing not only as a photographer, but as a human being. I wish we could have taken photos for like 10 hours straight lol. There are a million wedding photographers out there but thank god for instagram hashtags because they led us to this Long Beach, CA local, queer, Latina photographer!! Eve brought so much energy and excitement about our love and wedding vision right from the first email exchanges. We quickly set up a video meeting to further discuss our wedding vision and photography needs. I’m pretty sure we laughed for the entire hour. Eve is very experienced and professional when it comes to wedding photography. Months before the wedding day, she had a suggested timeline ready to make sure we got all the photos we wanted. Eve worked so well with our coordinator blending their timelines together to make everything fit. On our wedding day, Eve and her second shooter, Amanda, showed up on time and ready to go. They kept the day moving and even made sure we both had sunscreen to keep us from getting a desert sunburn! The post-ceremony couple photos were my favorite part of the day. As a couple, our top priority was getting beautiful, scenic desert photos together and Eve delivered!!! And had us laughing the whole time lol. We have only received “sneak peak” photos so far (that Eve was up at 3am editing for us haha), but we are happy to wait to see all the photos. This gal is in HIGH demand this busy, semi-post-COVID wedding season! I would HIGHLY recommend Evelyn Avila as your wedding day photographer if you want a true professional to capture the magic of your day, keep you laughing, and be as is excited as you, if not more, about your love.

Eve from EveRox Photography was out of this world, she was so good at making us feel at ease in front of a camera. Let us start off by saying, everyone thinks it’s cute to be quirky or awkward in pictures, but when you, as a couple, are truly awkward about PDA and Pictures well its spells disaster for a photographer. Well this is not the case with Eve. We found Eve through our Wedding planner Megan from Sweet Peach Planning. She sent us a link to her portfolio and we fell in love with her color palate. Our first meeting was a little rocky, in the sense that we didn’t know what we wanted and we all were trying to figure each other out. After speaking with Megan we decided to go with an engagement session so we can all work together and feel each other out, this was honestly the best thing ever because the second Eve started snapping photos of us, she knew exactly what she needed from us. Of course we were awkward at times but Eve would ease us into it and just let the camera take pictures of true outburst of laughter we thought we were secretly sharing. This led us to hire Eve for our Elopement since we had to reschedule our Ceremony to the summer but did not want to lose out on our 10th anniversary as a couple being the day we tied the knot. Eve makes Lemon drops out of Lemons because it was POURING down that day and she still managed to take some of the best pictures of the special day we shared with my mother, her father and our officiant. This is why the day of the ceremony in the high 90’s Eve found a way to get the best out of us. I mean, she would just give us a couple of words on how she wanted us posed and we already knew what she needed. Although it can feel overwhelming with everything going on, Eve’s mind is only thinking of that perfect shot and when she finds it she makes sure she runs over to steal you for a few seconds to get that shot. My favorite shot of ours is where I am holding my wife up with the sun behind us in front of a cactus garden, it reminds me of all the rom-com movie posters we grew up seeing in the 90’s. One last thing we wanted to touch on was how fast and eager Eve is to get you a sneak peek of your photos. Our wedding was packed and over with by 11 pm, we got our first 30 photos at 1 am. Eve had left our wedding around 7pm this means by the time she beat traffic to her home about 45 mins away, ate dinner and took time to relax a little, she had knocked out some of the best pictures our special day. Eve is a pleasure to work with and an all-around amazing person.

When we were originally searching around for a wedding photographer in 2019, we stumbled across Eve’s portfolio and fell in love with her work. We love her style, and she has an incredible talent for perfectly capturing a time and place with all the emotions wrapped up in that moment. Her photos are impressive works of art, and she is able to capitalize on locations and very specific lighting, yielding crisp, clean, colorful shots. Some photographers may just take a bunch of pictures—but when you look at Eve’s photos, it’s like they tell a story—like you’re reliving an experience.

Eve is very passionate about the work she does. We really enjoyed her sneak peeks from our shoots, and it was genuinely fun to work with her. She comes with years of experience, and is knowledgeable about the Long Beach area. She was already familiar with all the shoot locations beforehand and knew where and how to get the best shots. She also works well with fussy subjects, such as our dog, Yukihiro (who gets constantly distracted by just about everything) and our young nephew, Rowan (who just turned 2 and also gets constantly distracted by everything). Her website is also quite convenient for purchasing prints.

Prior to our wedding, we went on an engagement shoot in downtown Long Beach at the Promenade, which was really great for getting us comfortable around the camera. We absolutely treasure the photos from that shoot and had a great time that day! Unfortunately, COVID disrupted our original wedding date and caused us to reschedule 3 different times. Of all the vendors we’d booked, we were most adamant that we retain Eve, since we knew that she’d be instrumental to our wedding day. Fortunately, Eve was incredibly accommodating to our circumstances—and not only was she still able to shoot our wedding, but we ended up also doing a followup engagement shoot to once again get us comfortable in front of the camera prior to our wedding.

Eve is a calming presence and a joy to be around. After working with her through the photo shoots, it felt like working with a friend. We are so fortunate to have her incredible talents on our wedding day, and will enjoy these photos forever! We highly recommend Eve to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!

My husband and I don’t have a lot of really good pictures together. I am very camera shy, end up making the funniest faces, and almost never satisfied with the pictures I take. My husband, on the other hand, is not only naturally photogenic but he has modeled a few times before. Needless to say, it was really important for us (especially me) to hire a professional photographer for our wedding.

We reached out to Eve as soon as I stumbled upon her beautiful work on Pinterest. She has great style, it’s moody and artistic. I especially love that she is really thoughtful about little details and pays attention to her surroundings, it was exactly what I was hoping I would find… but it did not stop there...

She gave us really valuable tips prior to and on the day of the event— like, our wedding would have been a hot mess without her! Lol. She made us feel comfortable, provided direction, and was very kind every step of the way. Best of all, the pictures turned out amazing. One of my sisters said they are the kind of pictures our future children will be proud of. Best. Wedding Investment.

Eve is an extremely talented photographer. When I looked at photos from past weddings she photographed on her website, I didn’t just see photos, I saw stories of love. Stories of people I didn’t even know. I was getting emotional about other people’s weddings through her photos. When we had our initial Skype meeting with Eve, she was so chill. We obviously met to discuss booking her as our photographer, but she also wanted to get to know my now husband and I. I even remember talking about remedies to stay healthy as one of our questions for her was how does she handle staying healthy when she is constantly shooting weddings. We have worked with Eve close to 18 months now. After our venue she was the very first vendor we booked. We were originally supposed to get married June 2020, but ultimately postponed to October 2020 after several changes in plans. She stuck with us through all of it and we are so grateful for all her support.

As a couple who does not consider ourselves photogenic and at times camera shy, we were stressed like many other couples are about having to touch and hug and kiss in front of a stranger. When we did our engagement session in November 2019, it rained and I was already stressed about that because it never rains in Southern California. Despite getting a little wet that day, our engagement session with Eve was a lot of fun. She came up with so many cool photo ideas just walking a couple blocks around the city. We were definitely a bit awkward at first, but as the session went on we realized this really isn’t so bad and Eve made us feel completely comfortable. Our engagement photos turned out awesome.

Wedding day finally came for us and we already had our sneak peek photos very early the next morning. WOW is all I can say. We are so excited for the rest to come. We’ve already selected a photo for our Christmas card because the sneak peek photos are that good. Thank you so much Eve for beautifully capturing our story. We are so grateful we had you as our engagement and wedding photographer.
