Wedding Photography in California

What stood out most was how personal the experience felt. Dennis did not just show up and take pictures. He cared about our story, our personalities, and the moments that mattered most to us. The photos feel warm, emotional, and honest. We are so thankful we chose B4MONDAY.

I am so impressed with the care and finesse Elizabeth puts in her Santa Barbara wedding photography - and the joy she takes in it. She showed impressive initiative to fine-tune our "Whimsical Spring Wedding Showcase," held at Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Congregation, jumping right in to help with the "props" in the Outdoor Sanctuary. Elizabeth made the guests feel at ease as she effortlessly moved captured key moments and angles of the event with attention to detail. Her professionalism and personal warmth spelled success at our wedding showcase. Elizabeth Victoria is delightful as is her photography, and hope to work with her again at weddings at Live Oak's event venue!

We were lucky to find a photographer in Liv Rhodes, owner of Apollo Fotografie, who captured the weekend exactly as we envisioned. Her style of photography makes every shot feel like a classic, and her demeanor behind the camera made us feel at ease, confident, and able to let ourselves have fun with it. Our photos from both our engagement shoot and the wedding are incredible and worth every penny. We've had so many people compliment the photos and how Liv and team operated at the wedding. We also had an unusual vision for our wedding video. We wanted a Wes Anderson inspired version and Ross from Apollo Fotografie DELIVERED.

My wife and I got married two months ago in Ben Lomond and we still find ourselves talking about how outstanding of a job Dave did and continually receive compliments from our guests. We chatted with Dave before our wedding and he described his focus on exactly what we wanted: capturing “in-between” moments, so to speak, like members of our respective families meeting for the first time, or friends from different spheres of our lives dancing together. My wife and I recently recalled several moments at our wedding where we appreciated a special moment we were having with a guest and thought to ourselves, “you know, it would be really cool to have a photo of what’s happening right now.” Every single time, right after having this thought, we heard a click followed by a flash. He must be a wizard or something. We recently got our finished photos and we were delighted to see countless other priceless snapshots we had no idea happened until now. While these in-between moments were obviously incredibly important for us, Dave is top notch when it comes to posed group photos as well. He’s incredibly skilled at wrangling the necessary people into photos and being considerate of time, and if we ever felt like one segment of photos was going too long, we just told him so and we’d move on. Dave is an incredible talent and just an incredible guy too. We’ll never forget him and can't recommend him highly enough.

When I met Connie at a Bridal fair and spoke to her for the first time, I knew instantly that I wanted to work with her. She is collaborative, flexible, and creative with her shots and is also so personable and friendly. She was so quick and thorough with answering any questions we had throughout the entire process, from our amazing engagement shoot in SF to our wedding day in San Ramon. Her photography really captured our love for one another, which is the most important thing at the end of the day and she went above and beyond for us to make sure we had all the shots that we wanted taken. She made us feel at ease on our big day and we could not have been happier with how all of our photos turned out!

Alvis was our first photographer, found him on Livingsocial and after looking through his portfolio, seeing his quality of work we wanted to give it a try for a session. When I first spoke with Alvis, he was professional, truly kind and had great customer service. He is very responsive, responds to emails promptly. He's generous with his time and when we worked with him, we felt that he genuinely cared about us and wanted to do everything he could to make our lives easier. My Wife and I are extremely happy with the photos from our shoot. thank you

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer! A Moment of Joy came highly recommended by two friends who had used her a few years prior, and it was an instant yes for us on our first phone call with us. Communication was so easy through the entire process prior to our wedding, and Joy was so helpful with directing us on the day of our wedding, while making the whole process fun! Even telling me to rest my face when my smile started to look strained haha. Our photos came out stunning, and will be so cherished for the rest of our lives.

Our photographers were AMAZING on our wedding day! I am normally super organized but didn’t have time to put together an actual shot list. Genevieve and Nicole had no issues pulling family together for group shots on the fly. They made all our family and wedding party super comfortable and helped get us even more excited to see all the photos of our amazing day! The only two photos I knew I wanted ahead of time they ensured we got great shots of and I couldn’t be happier! Added on the Sneak Peak package after our wedding because we can’t wait to see what they did. Thank you so much weddings by LMP and especially Genevieve and Nicole!

I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and or a better experience. Opal is an amazing person and her experience and love for her art can be seen through each photo. She was always available when we needed to meet and responded quickly to any questions we had. On the day of the wedding she made sure we followed our timeline and created a friendly space for everyone. I was given advise once by a family member. "if you are going to spend all this money make sure you spend a good portion on your photos and video." I'm very happy to have listened.
