Look no further - Thea is amazing!!

Look no further!! My husband & I eloped at City Hall and then had a celebration/ceremony in Point Reyes and Thea photographed both. Not only do we love the photographs she took, but she made the experience amazing. I'm not the most comfortable posing for pictures, but she made us feel so comfortable and taking pictures with her was actually fun! She also has great communication & overall great to work with! Thank you so much, Thea!!!

Best night ever!

Thea was nothing short of incredible in all areas. From the very first phone call to her last photo of the night, she was calm, attentive, and an absolute joy to have around. She listened to all of my wants and most importantly, DON'T wants, and offered advice and input where needed.

She managed our large group photos with ease and speed. She reminded me of photos i wanted and made great suggestions for others. Thea worked our 100 person wedding alone and was able to capture every single special moment.

The turnaround time for photos was quick, with a wonderful preview album before receiving the full album

I would recommend thea a million times over!

Talented Thea

Thea has a great eye for capturing the perfect moment. Her photos tell a story. Whenever friends and family view our photos, they always inquire who the photographer is. Thea is definitely worth recommending because she does a fantastic job- the photos speak for themselves. Thank you, Thea. Keep up the good work.

Sweet and wholesome :)

Working with Thea was sooo easy! I shared my vision with her and she captured everything I desired and more! Her sweet personality added to our special day and all of our guests loved her. I couldn’t recommend working with anyone more.

Perfect photos, perfect service

We booked Thea to photograph our 75-person wedding in Monterey, CA, and we cannot recommend her enough. Prior to the event, Thea was responsive, proactive, and organized. During the event, she was incredibly professional and made everyone feel at ease (especially while taking portraits!) Our guests remarked upon how awesome Thea looked seamlessly switching between her digital, film, and Polaroid cameras. The final gallery was delivered quickly and its quality is beyond our wildest dreams: we have hundreds of beautiful images that show how Thea understood exactly the style and aesthetic we wanted. We are now struggling with choosing which ones to print because we love them all so much. Booking Thea was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Thea is the best!

Thea was the absolute best! She was so helpful before the wedding in helping my husband and I organize what photos I wanted to make sure were taken, and on the day of our wedding, she was so positive, helpful, and organized. She executed all the photos we wanted to have, and took many more amazing photos of special moments throughout the day. We will cherish the photos she shared with us for forever. I am so grateful to have worked with her, and I hope to hire her again for other events in the future.

Beautifully captured the best day of my life!

We found Thea through my husbands coworker. She had photographed his wedding a few months prior and the photos looked amazing! My wedding started at 1pm but she was there around/a little before noon to capture us getting ready. Every moment she captured was breathtaking! She was able to find the perfect lighting for all of our photos (married under the redwoods) and got really creative with how she was taking pictures. Not only did our staged photos come out amazing but she captured the fun of the dance floor too! I was always catching glimpses of her taking photos of every little detail. My brothers wedding is coming up and I know who my number 1 recommendation will be!
