    DREAM Photographer

    Aura is a dream photographer to say the least! She has a unique talent to hone in on and capture those small special moments and intricate details. Looking back on our photos, we feel like we're experiencing our wedding all over again and also seeing parts of the wedding that we missed!

    Aura is so incredibly professional. She clearly is experienced and is able to guide the bride and groom in a way so the perfect shot is captured and so that nothing feels unnatural. She is flexible, incredibly generous, and just a genuinely kind and caring person. She thinks on her toes and was a joy to be around! It was such an honor to work with her and her second shooter Mar!

    There is no doubt that my husband, family, friends, and I will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. They look like they’re straight out of a magazine! How could we not love them? We could not speak more highly of Aura and would recommend her time and time again!

    Highly recommend Aura!

    Aura is the absolute sweetest and very talented!

    My husband and I have never gotten our pictures taken professionally and we hired Aura to take our engagement and wedding photos. What we thought would be such an awkward experience turned out to be the complete opposite. Aura made sure to walk us through the process, made us feel so relaxed, and gave us very clear directions on how to pose and enjoy the moment.

    It was actually really cold when we took our engagement photos as well as our sunset photos at our wedding. She was so considerate of that and would stop and have me put on my jacket or shawl on as we would wait for the lighting to change (both were outside)

    The day of the wedding she came to our getting ready location and when the hair and make up took longer than expected, she graciously took my dress to the venue so that she could get all the detail pictures in and keep everything running smoothly.

    She did so well getting fun candid shots and getting everyone together for the family pictures. One of my favorite part was when I had snuck away with a few girls to eat some cake and enjoy some quiet time together. She "caught" us and graciously offered to take some pictures and record the moment for us.

    She is also so quick! She had my engagement photos within the week and previews of my wedding photos the next morning.

    I highly recommend Aura and wish her the best!

    Talented, kind, and professional photographer.

    Aura is absolutely wonderful! We hired Aura a long while ago for our wedding and also did engagement photos with her. She was prompt, professional, fun, and flexible. Our photos have been nothing short of wonderful (and I'm self-proclaimed a tough one to photograph!). We got our previews ridiculously quickly after our wedding, showed them to my in-laws, and they were blown away at just the previews! They said "these alone are worth it!". Not only was Aura all of the above, but her second shooter was also wonderful. Mar shot the boys getting ready and they said she was a blast. Both ladies were an honor to have at the wedding and are both so talented. Communication was clear and efficient. I can't wait to hire Aura for all of life's big moments!

    Amazing - book aura

    Aura was so amazing on of wedding day. We did not do an engagement session, so I was a little nervous for wedding day photos, but Aura was great. She was on time, organized, friendly, but most of all knew what she was doing. She told us how to smile, where to place our hands and she gave a preview just a few days after our wedding. I would book her again in a heart beat.

    Aura does not disappoint!

    Aura captured our wedding so beautifully. And even more importantly, she helped us feel comfortable behind the camera. We had never had professional photos done, but she had such great directions for how to pose. She really made our wedding day so much better - even our guests were commenting on how great our photographer was. Our second shooter was fantastic, too! Super kind and easy to get along with - we were happy to spend the day with them. Overall, I'm so glad we hired Aura and can't recommend her enough.

    The most incredible photographer!

    Our experience with Aura was nothing short of amazing. She did an engagement photo shoot for my Fiance and I in Malibu and we couldn't be happier with the experience we had and the way the photos turned out.

    We were flying in from out of town and she squeezed us in last minute after another photographer cancelled our shoot. She was so flexible and gracious to make sure she could meet our needs and provided great direction on the shoot to make sure we got the candid natural feel we wanted. She even went above and beyond to help us combat the windy conditions that were on the beach that day. We got so many beautiful photo variations to choose from, it's hard to pick a favourite!

    If you're considering Aura, she provided us top notch service, and the best photos we could've asked for. We would highly recommend!

    Incredible photographer!

    We absolutely loved working with Aura! She was so kind and easy to work with and was very responsive to questions throughout the whole process. We were able to do an engagement photo shoot with Aura and she did an amazing job guiding us through it and posing us to help us look our best. On our wedding day, Aura made us and our bridal party/family members feel so comfortable and posed us perfectly. She did an incredible job getting all of the shots that we wanted and it was so fun to look back on the day through her photos and relive these moments. Aura is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend having her photograph your special day!

    Talented Photographer with a Great Eye

    Aura is one of the sweetest people we encountered during our wedding planning experience. Not only that, but she has an amazing eye for her photography. We chose her because we love her light, airy, romantic, and timeless style. She came up to SB for our September 2021 wedding, and even though I think it was her first time at our venue, she had a great plan for the day-of. My husband and I are not particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Aura was patient and helpful when it came to posing. She helped us find a way to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and we LOVE the results. The photos came out so beautifully...she also turned them around to us very quickly; I think it took about 5 weeks which was faster than we expected! We also have a small dog, who was included in some of our photos and she was so patient working with him!

    We can't recommend Aura enough; choose her, and thank yourself later!!!

    Stop looking, you have found your photographer!

    Aura did such an AMAZING job with our wedding, truly no one could have done as great a job as she did. My husband and I already just cherish our photos. She captured the day beautifully, accurately, and perfectly! I definitely recommend the engagement photos too, it is a great way to get to know her and 'practice' before the big day. Also, Aura has this wonderful kind and calming presence about her - as the bride, it was really amazing to relax and know that Aura had everything under control. You can definitely trust her to take gorgeous wedding photos, I really can't recommend her enough. I can't imagine our wedding day with anyone else!

    One of the Best!

    Besides being incredibly intuitive in professionally making her clients and vendor colleagues comfortable and confident in her guidance, her talent as a photographer is magical. One only needs to look at the results of her work to realize how she fits among one of the best in the industry.

    A must for your Wedding Day

    I cannot say enough positive things about Aura! She is truly AMAZING at what she does. She is wonderful to work with throughout the planning process- responsive, informative and always full of love and joy in all correspondences.

    Aura creates a calm atmosphere for our clients (which is huge as we just want a stress free and joyous day for them ), one of my favorite parts about working with her is how at ease she makes our couples feel in front of the camera. And lastly, I mean her images are just SWOON WORTHY! I can’t express how much time and love she gives to each individual couple, Aura is a must for your wedding day!

    So amazing and so affordable!

    I am SO glad I found Aura because she did an amazing job! Aura is so affordable for a photographer of her talent, compared to all the other photographers I looked at. She is just like how she describes her photos, joyful, classy, and lovely, and even got us a gift after we hired her. She was so easy to work with on our wedding day and was quick and efficient with our pictures to make sure we had time to get through everything we needed to. She also gave us many sneak peeks just 2 days after and I can't wait to see the rest! Thank you so much Aura!

    Aura is seriously AMAZING! I cannot even begin to describe how happy I am with our engagement and wedding photos! She is the sweetest person ever and makes you feel comfortable. My husband and I had never had any professional photos taken before but she did such great job of directing us and making the photos look effortless. She is very professional and responds promptly to any inquiries. She has now done my wedding and my friends and her work is consistently beautiful. I highly recommend her if you want gorgeous, romantic and timeless photos to remember your special day!

    Selecting Aura to be our wedding photographer was by far one of the best decisions we made. She is extremely professional and super sweet. We knew right away that we wanted romantic and candid photos and I'm so glad we chose Aura. She has an incredible passion for photography and has excellent timing.

    Such a Delight!

    Aura was such a delight! I'm a local wedding planner and had the great honor of working with Aura and her team, at a wedding this past February. From our first correspondence I knew she was going to be wonderful to work with! She was quick to respond, easy to communicate with and overall very accommodating. The day of, her kind and gentle personality shined! She was on top of everything, including the timeline and was so easy to work with. We had such a great day together, I can't wait to work with her again!

    Aura was a dream to work with! My husband & I wanted to celebrate our 3rd anniversary in the place we love most - our home! Aura not only spent time getting to know us when she arrived, but she really allowed us to just be us and go about our lives and interact like we normally would. She came prepared and had many wonderful ideas for staging, and was also a dream to collaborate with as she jumped right in to my crazy ideas for a documentary styled shoot! We honestly had SO MUCH FUN living in our space, and to top it all off we got our photos back and they are GORGEOUS - I share them with everyone I know! Thank you Aura for capturing our memories of time spent together, they are what make life such a joy.

    Truly Disappointed

    We hired Aura after stumbling upon her Instagram and seeing her amazing portfolio. She photographed our engagement and our wedding. The engagement session and the pictures were good. We had such high hopes after she sent us a preview after the wedding. However, the final album of wedding photos were pretty disappointing to say the least. The turnaround time was unexpectedly fast, like 10 days, which we felt was a little too fast. We don’t know if she really spent time curating the best photos or just gather up 1000 random pictures and called it a day because the product left much to be desired. While the posed pictures were decent everything else were not very flattering. And some photos were redundant, like did we need more than 2 or 3 photos of shoes, invitation, the bar and picture of a random duck???

    We emailed her some weeks after to ask if she or her second photographer happened to have different angles of photos only to have her ghosted us. We followed up with a second email a week after and was ghosted again. She only responded after we texted her and said she will look into our request later because it was her busy season. We totally understand, but that was like almost 6 months ago with no response. We just kind of accepted the situation and agreed that subpar photos were better than no photos at all at this point. We were so disheartened with what was delivered that we didn’t even share the photos with our family or friends. And even now, the only photos we share publicly are ones taken by friends with their iPhones.

    Wedding photographers are super important for wedding and it’s the one thing we agreed NOT to go cheap on. But we are so embarrassed that we invested SO much money just to be so disappointed.
