We Highly Recommend Aura!
We fell in love with Aura after seeing her portfolio on her website and the pictures she posted on her Instagram. Her photography style was everything we envisioned for our wedding - timeless, joyful, and romantic. Plus, Aura is THE sweetest person we've ever met. She is so kind, patient, and professional! We had so many of our guests come up to us saying how professional and patient Aura was while taking their photos throughout the night.
Throughout our engagement photoshoot and our wedding day, Aura made us feel comfortable especially since we don't generally take that many photos together. Not to mention, it even rained during our engagement shoot and the photos turned out even MORE beautiful than we could have imagined. She truly captured the raw candid moments and we couldn't have imagined a better photographer for our wedding day. Thank you so much, Aura! -

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! -

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!!! -

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! -

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!-

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. -

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. -

Beautiful photos, horrible communication
TLDR: lack of communication in the form of ignored emails, Honeybook messages, and text messages. Our wedding album was delivered 3 weeks later than promised; Aura did not proactively communicate delays, and we instead had to continuously (because she ignored message after message) reach out to her for an update on delivery. While we are ultimately happy with our photos, we would not recommend her due to the headaches, anxiety, and, quite frankly, anger caused by this.
It makes us sad to write this review because we were so excited about working with Aura from the very start.
Our welcome consultation was fantastic - Aura had such wonderful energy, and she was very informative. We requested to book Aura the same day we met with her for our consultation!
We booked our engagement shoot shortly thereafter, which took place more than a year ahead of our wedding date. Aura touched base with us the day before with an update on the weather forecast (it was cloudy rather than sunny) and left it up to us if we wanted to go ahead with the shoot or reschedule for another day. We went ahead with the shoot, since we travelled from NorCal. On the day, she was responsive via text, and we thoroughly enjoyed our shoot, and we were so happy with our photos upon receiving them!
Following our engagement shoot, we had over a year until our wedding day, so we didn’t communicate with Aura at all, except once about 4 months after our engagement shoot to make sure she (as our wedding photographer) was ok with our hiring a second photographer to take portraits of our guests before & during cocktail hour (in lieu of a photobooth). We sent a message via Honeybook on a Monday and followed up via text on Wednesday - she replied to our text message that she thought it was a great idea.
Our wedding was in early April, and come January (Fri Jan 3), we reached out via email (non-urgent) to touch base and ask when we should expect to start working on our photography timeline with her (hair & makeup were starting to plan their schedules and asking about arrival/ready-by times, and we at least wanted to be able to tell them approximately when they could expect us to have an answer). After we didn’t get a response for 2 weeks (we waited this long since the fires broke out shortly after we reached out), we sent a message via Honeybook on Tue Jan 14. We waited until the end of that week before texting her on Fri Jan 17. She has read-receipts turned on, so we saw that she read our text within 30min of receiving it. But we never got a reply. We waited until Wed Jan 22 (considering maybe she was shooting weddings all weekend) to text her again - this time expressing that we were feeling a bit anxious having not heard from her…. Her read-receipts showed that she read our text within 4 minutes of receiving it. She replied a few hours later saying that she would send us a questionnaire via Honeybook (sent on Wed Jan 28, after we followed up via text on Monday) and a Calendly link (never sent) to get us started on our photography timeline. We reached out again Wed Feb 19, explaining that hair & makeup are still asking about a timeline, and we asked her how far out she typically starts working this with her couples. She responded late that evening, mentioning that she has a draft timeline for us to review and sent a Calendly invite for us to go over it via video chat. We met virtually on Fri Feb 21 to review the timeline and make live updates. We also provided her with our shot list (family combinations & some specific getting-ready photos that we wanted) and some inspo pics (playful, fun, lots of movement, less posed, etc). She had them printed out for our video chat, said she loved them and that they are exactly her style, so we were feeling more excited about her again!
After our video chat, Aura sent us the updated timeline based on the things we discussed, and we replied (via email) with an update that we’d forgotten about during our video chat. That email never got acknowledged, and we ended up just scrapping it entirely.
FF to our April wedding day: Aura and her second shooter arrived early. Everything during the getting-ready portion seemed to go smoothly. At the venue, we took our bridal party and family photos. In our shot-list of family combinations, we specifically listed the Bride & Groom in ALL family photos (for example, we did not want photos of Bride & parents without Groom, and vice versa - we find this very strange and we did not want this for OUR day). Sure enough, one of us was asked to exit the photo. In the moment, we chalked it up to wedding-day haze, but we felt like what WE wanted was ignored and overshadowed by Aura’s “standard." On the flip-side, perhaps we should have emphasized this desire in our virtual review of the timeline; however, we did not verbally bring attention to it beforehand, because we assumed it would be reviewed/carried with her on the day (we have seen other wedding photographers carry the list so that they can call people by name) - not to mention, there was just a lot happening during our virtual review of the timeline.
Our Couples Portraits & Individual Portraits (during our first look, before the ceremony, during sunset, and even our night-flash photos during the reception) felt stiff and posed, not at all playful like Aura said was “exactly her style.” Perhaps we could have taken charge a bit more during the capturing of these pics, but you find yourself just doing what the professionals tell you to do - you’re usually waiting for a prompt from your photographer. And by the time you’re doing sunset portraits, you’ve actually had enough of smiling for photos and just want it to be over.
We received our preview album (~100 photos) 5 days after our wedding, with a note that the full album would be ready in another 6-8 weeks, which translates to 7-9 weeks post-wedding (this is the only place where we have a delivery window in writing - we could not find anything in the contract, her website, or any of the pamphlets she provided indicating a delivery time frame). By Thursday of week 9, we reached out to Aura via text (since we already knew that email/Honeybook would never receive a reply) to touch base and ask when we should expect to receive our full album. Her read-receipts showed that she read our text within an hour of receiving it, and we also saw her posting other wedding photos to IG around that same time (this stands out to us because it suggests that she was perhaps doing photo things and perhaps not actively shooting - although, I believe business accounts can schedule posts, so this may not be true). Still, we waited until after the weekend and followed up via text on Monday. Again, no reply, and this time no read-receipt. We sent a 3rd text on Wednesday (week 10), this time also expressing concern having not heard from her after a couple of attempts to reach out - read about 2 hours after delivery, and shortly thereafter she thanked us for our patience and explained that May was a busier-than-usual month (despite already being half way through June - i.e. May was so busy that she couldn’t reply to a text message in the middle of June?!) but assured us that our gallery would be sent over before the end of the following week (11 weeks post-wedding). Week 11 came and went with no photos nor communication on further delayed delivery. We waited until Wednesday of week 12 to reach out via text again. No response, no read-receipt. At this point, “livid” doesn’t sufficiently express how we feel. We texted her again the next day (Thursday, week 12): read within about 15min, and nothing. We sent an email later that same day, in hopes that just MAYBE she might be able to reply to an email. She replied about 2 hours later (via email) and sincerely apologized for the lack of communication on her end (this was very appreciated) and promised to have our album to us by that Saturday. Aura followed through on this promise and we received our album around 9am on Saturday of week 12.
We are truly dumbfounded by this experience. We don’t understand why Aura seemed to have no interest in maintaining a positive relationship with us as clients. We know that life happens (personal and professional), but we do expect proactive communication and (at minimum) to be acknowledged when we reach out - even a simple “sorry, i’m busy at the moment. let me take a look at this this evening/tomorrow morning when I have some time” (along with actually following up) goes a heck of a long way. For someone who boasts “over a decade of experience and 250+ weddings captured,” she seems to have very poor basic management skills.
Overall, we are very happy with our photos. Even if they aren’t as playful as we wanted them to be, they are absolutely beautiful and we will cherish them forever. We were, however, very disappointed to realize that we never got our siblings photo (with both sets of siblings) from our shot list, as this was one photo that was very very important to us (along with other family combos).
Minor qualm that we feel may be pretty common in the industry: too many “details” photos. We love the photos of the items that we included in our details box… but we’re talking about 50+ photos of the guest tables (we don’t need a picture of every single table number), multiple photos of the plain white ceremony chairs that we didn’t decorate, a random photo of the venue’s cocktail napkins that are not customized with our names or wedding date, etc. It felt excessive - I would have preferred more photos of guests arriving, me and the girls in the Bridal suite having some champagne, Groom & Groomsmen mingling with/ushering guests, etc.
Via her website, Aura promises “an experience that feels effortless and enjoyable,” but we had the exact opposite experience. It hurts us to say this, but despite loving our end product, we would not recommend Aura as a wedding vendor. We would still recommend Aura as a photographer in general though - she is absolutely wonderful and her work is beautiful. -

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. -
Quality of service
