Heather is an All-Star!

Heather is not only an incredibly gifted photographer and a seasoned pro – she is also a kind, thoughtful and empathetic person who is truly a joy to be around. From the beginning, she took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand our vision. Heather invested time in calls with us, sent us a thorough questionnaire and elopement guide, thoughtful location choices, and carefully reviewed our Pinterest board, genuinely showing curiosity and care about what mattered most to us throughout the entire process.

She has a rare ability to zoom out and understand the overall vibe we wanted to create, while also zooming in to capture subtle moments and meaningful details. Heather is skilled and professional – she knows how to maximize every moment and get the best shots quickly to make the most of such a special day, and she does it in such a human way; we never felt rushed, we just knew we were getting a ton of great shots. And Heather didn’t just deliver the shots we asked for - she gave us so many gorgeous, unexpected moments and angles that we’ll treasure forever.

Heather’s warmth and positivity were contagious, and she helped us stay grounded and joyful throughout the entire day. Having her by our side truly elevated the experience. She and her fiancé Mike are a wonderful duo – so comfortable to be around, talented and clearly passionate about what they do.

We feel endlessly grateful to have had Heather and Mike with us for such an intimate and important day. Seeking Venture Photo has our highest recommendation!

Fantastic. Not afraid of the unknown.

Mike and Heather are two incredible, talented, and kind individuals. They will help guide you and look so incredible on your special day.
If there are guests at your event they ensure that everyone is photographed and will double and triple check to make sure that you have everything that you want for your day.
These photographers are truly the most down to earth people that Ive ever met.

Amazing photographers, great people, wonderful experience.

Mike and Heather at Seeking Venture Photography are two of the most amazing people we have ever met. They were incredibly flexible and willing to work with whatever ideas we had for our wedding photographs, and were excellent at making recommendations we hadn't even thought of. We had a bunch of ideas of what we wanted to do between Cambria and Ragged Point, including a hike to Salmon Creek Falls and a few other places. They seemed excited at the idea of our adventure wedding really helped to bring our dreams to life. Meeting them felt more like meeting old friends as opposed to new photographers, and i guarantee they will help make your dreams come true.

The most EPIC shoot ever!

We went on an EPIC adventure with Heather & Mike... the photos my partner & I received were PHENOMENAL!! OBSESSED!! We did photos in front of a waterfall and had so much fun hiking while they captured our day. We love the outdoors and really wanted the photos to reflect who we are as a couple. They made a perfect plan for us and now we have these incredible memories to look back on. And to top it off they also provided snacks and beverages to indulge. This really was an incredible experience. Heather & Mike are so kind, fun & talented; I can’t say enough good things about them & their work. I highly recommend using Seeking Venture Photography. 10/10 on yelp.

Michael was awesome

I would definitely recommend Michael. He went above and beyond what we asked of him for our elopement in Hawaii. The turnaround for pictures was extremely fast, he provided around 20 before we got home on our wedding day. And the rest came later that week. A few years after our wedding we went back to Hawaii and contacted Michael to see if he would do my wife's maternity shoot, but he sadly moved away by that time.

Very professional wonderful experience!

Michael was wonderful when my husband and I got our wedding photos done in Hawaii! After much searching for a photographer I finally knew I found the one that would take the best photos for my day and I'm so glad I picked him! The photos turned out beyond what I could imagined and I would definitely hire him again in the future! His work is awesome and he's a great photographer!

Amazing wedding pictures

We are so thankful for the stunning pictures Heather took for our wedding! She really went above and beyond. She captured some breath taking images and has such an eye for backgrounds and poses. We can not recommend her enough and love following her on social media to see all of the other beautiful images she captures!

Lovely experience!

Heather was lovely to work with. She had tons of ideas which made things easier for me, less to worry about! She shot our engagement pictures and wedding. For the engagement shoot, the weather took a turn for the worst, it started to rain! I figured the day was over and that was it .. but .. Heather got creative, pulled out a fun umbrella and we had a great time and some fun pictures we wouldn't have thought of ourselves!

The wedding pictures we just as fun. Of course it is a high stress day but knowing Heather was on top of things made life easier, honestly it was the one thing I did not have to worry about. She knew which pictures to take and when I would forget about things (family pictures) she would remember and get the shots! Not to mention she is just a super nice person so I felt comfortable making requests or asking for certain things. I also love the edits she did, things I would never think of .. but really make the pictures stand out. I will definitely be working with her in the future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
