About

Head & Heart Photography is a locally focused, exclusive membership photography collective created with the purpose of finding the most talented and motivated local photographers, and connecting them with couples and clients looking to book a photographer whose work and personality they can be confident in.

Each member photographer has gone through an application process that consists of a detailed online questionnaire requiring information about their experience, skills, goals and more, an in-person interview with me (Kiel Rucker), and (when opportunity permits) shooting with me on one of my weddings or projects. I do not invite a photographer to be a part of Head & Heart unless I am confident in their talent, personality, experience and their potential to grow as individuals and photographers. Can’t wait to show you what we can do!

Head & Heart Member Photographers are invited to apply based on the culmination of my 10+ year of experience and knowledge gained about both sides of the photographer/client relationship, boiled down into an experience that offers talented photographers opportunities to demonstrate and hone their craft while offering clients the best photography experience possible from initial inquiry to the the delivery of their final images.

Best photographers!

Alex, Kiel and Alden were beyond exceptional in the entire process of capturing our wedding. They Alex was polite, professional and extremely helpful the entire day from capturing the bridal party to photography during the ceremony and reception. Alden met the groomsmen as we were getting ready and followed us throughout the evening and captured some amazing video. I cannot express how highly I recommend this amazing company.

Absolutely Stunning Engagement Photos

Words cannot express how beautiful the engagement photos that Braydon took for my fiance and I this past weekend in Santa Barbara. My fiance and him coordinated ahead of time over secret email + texts to plan the surprise. Braydon was responsive, attentive and adaptable - being able to find us on the beach from just a photo and general location which changed last minute! He captured the moment perfectly, and without me knowing he was in the background taking beautiful photos. Once he let us soak in the engagement, he appeared from his hiding spot and proceeded to take stunning photos on the beach at sunset for the next 45 minutes. He had the photos back to us via a website link within 2 days. The website has a great interface + simple access on mobile and desktop + easy to download the photos.

Now to the actual photos - STUNNING! From the lighting, editing and setting to his guiding us into different positions, resulted in multiple perfect shots. There is not one shot in the collection that we did not like. We absolutely loved every single one.

Thank you Braydon for making our engagement a moment we will never forget, and with photos that will last our lifetime.

Fantastic- enjoyed working with Kiel!

Kiel is an absolute pleasure to work with!. He’s professional, relatable, and will listen to your vision and bring it to life with his talent. I couldn’t be happier with the pictures he captured for our wedding and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future as life unfolds. My girlfriends and I have all used him for our weddings and it’s so fun to reconnect with him at events. You will be in good hands and may even end your special day with a new friend for life!.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
