    ShyHeart is the wedding photographer you need, stop looking anywhere else!

    Thanks to Alex who was the perfect photographer for our engagement and photo shoot!
    She made it fun and totally got the perfect poses.
    Kara helped us pick our photos at the ShyHeart office which was super fancy and sweet! Thanks again for the experience.

    Great to work with

    Alexandra at Shy Hearts was amazing. She was very patient; we had a lot of children in the wedding and she worked well with them. She was creative and knew what I was looking for with the romantic pictures and family pictures. I would highly recommend.

    Shy Heart Studios's reply:

    Thank you SO much for taking the time to write this review Pamela! We are so happy that you enjoyed your experience with Alex!

    Best photographers ever!

    Anthony and I would like to extend a very big thank you to Alexander/Alex and Vincent, who were the best wedding photographers we could have asked for :) They were amazing in taking care of us and the bridal party, and of course, the entire wedding.

    Alex was amazing and professional in making sure to take detail shots of the wedding dress and accessories, as well as many details of the wedding (such as flowers and menu and invitations). It helped that Anthony and I had a great time with her during our engagement session, so it was natural working with her on our wedding day :) And it was very cute that she got excited when taking our pictures, especially with our custom props.

    Vincent was very professional, has a great sense of humor, and easy to work with (and it was a plus that he had similar interests with our creative hobbies). He guided us to really great pictures and made it feel natural.

    This is the BEST! Thanks Thuy!! We are so happy you enjoyed your experience with our team! Thanks for taking a moment to review us.

    In love!

    We had the MOST amazing photographers. Alexandra was my out of this world amazing. I can’t wait to leave yelp and the knot reviews. I feel like I picked the right people for my wedding. She is so talented at making us feel comfortable in front of a camera when we have no experience. She made us feel so gorgeous and that came to life in her photos. We have not received wedding photos obviously but our engagement photos were a vision. Thank you so much for providing the best photographer we could have asked for. She was absolutely meant to photograph our wedding!! We are ecstatic with her talents and service.

    Shy Heart Studios's reply:

    Ok - totally tearing up over here. Thank you so much Aliza! It was an absolute honor to capture your day. This means so much to all of us and we are so grateful you took the time to share your experience with others.

    Attentive, Profession, and Stunning Work!

    Shy Heart Studios will make your wedding feel like their ONLY wedding! They are so attentive, professional, and their work is stunning. Brianna is kind, warm, and so good at what she does all around. I can't recommend this team enough!

    Talented Team!

    My now-husband and I booked an engagement shoot with Alex so that we could get to know her before our big day, especially since we are both a bit camera shy. What an experience that was! Alex was so professional while being personable enough to allow us to relax in front of the camera. When it came to the big day, Alex and Carsten were extraordinary. I don't think they missed a moment! I am so grateful for Shy Heart Studios capturing priceless memories!

    Shy Heart Studios's reply:

    Thank you SO much for sharing this Aimee! We are so happy to hear that you had such a great experience with Alex & Carsten.

    We LOVE them!! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Brianna, she was so amazing to work with! Made us feel at ease and like she’d been friends with us for years. Thank you for capturing the best day of our lives and helping make it so perfect! Would definitely use them again as recommended them to anyone!

    Wonderful Experience

    Shy Heart Studios were wonderful to work with. The Engagement photos turned about beautiful and they made it so easy to get access to them. Also they were prompt on our wedding day and made sure we had all the photos we wanted. Rachel was professional and kind to everyone. She was able to give directions for the best shot and was very efficient. We loved working with her and look forward to working with her in future events.

    Thank you for taking the time to share this review Leticia! We really appreciate it and were honored to capture the biggest day of your life. We look forward to working with you again in the future!

    Thank you Shy Heart!

    Loved working with Shy Heart! Elaine was our primary photographer and Sarah was our secondary. Both were absolutely amazing! So professional and friendly, and captured our special day perfectly. We have soooo many beautiful photos and memories to look back on. Couldn't ask for anything better!

    Great Team!

    The team was responsive and professional from the beginning, and they accommodated us when we asked to meet with the photographer before booking anything. Everything ran smoothly, and their turn-around time for photos was amazing! I got married on October 12, and I got the photos back on November 14! Cara was great in providing advice on how to plan out my family photos and group photos. Sarah had great ideas as secondary too! They also worked well with the videographers we had. Overall great experience!

    Picture Perfect

    From engagement photos taken at Mission San Juan Capistrano to wedding photos taken at Wedgewood Sierra La Verne Country Club, Cara and her assistant, Rachel, did a spectacular job of capturing the essence of my daughter and her husband, as well as their beautiful celebratory events. I am still in shock that the wedding photos, all 1,004 of them, were delivered in THREE WEEKS time. All I can say is that I am having a terrible time whittling down my wedding "album" selection. I'm now down to just over 500 that I can't live without...... yes, they are THAT good, and I don't know how I'm going to pare it down even further to a manageable amount. The color and quality of each photograph is superlative. What I particularly love is how they take the same photo and offer it in color and again, in black and white... and they also offer a close-up and then, one from a further away vantage. Really cool how they do that. I love the options. As I stated, I'm having a tough time because the photos are sooooooo good. I can't wait to see my daughter and son-in-law's album that they put together.

    Perfect match!

    I am the Mother of the Bride and our daughter was married in April at Ponte Winery in Temecula. She and her (now husband!) live in NYC so the wedding planning process was a bit tricky. We both read all reviews, and looked through photos but we then made our final decisions based on my personal interaction with our vendors. I cannot say enough about Brianna and her beautiful photography skills, #1...but then her warm friendly and welcoming personality sealed the deal for us.

    When our daughter and soon to be son-in-law were here for the holidays, they met with Brianna for their engagement photo session and to get a feel for how they would work together. They came home giving rave reviews about their interaction, her personality and how they felt it was just the right fit for them as well. The engagement photos were amazing! (Mom relieved)

    As the time grew closer to the wedding, she took the time to answer all of our many questions making us feel as though we were the most important client, planned and discussed timelines, and took into account what was meaningful for us to have as keepsake memories with the photos. Wedding Day: On time, personality on high energy mode. She was in every place at every minute to capture every beautiful moment......Her creativity soared to find beautiful settings for a gorgeous outcome. Areas I had never seen photographed at the venue.

    Fast forward to receiving all of the photos. They are absolutely beautiful. Flawless. Amazing. The happiness that the bride and groom were feeling, the fun the wedding party was having, the joy the family was experiencing and the overall celebration by guests was captured by her lens and the passion she has for what she does. Thank you Brianna!

    We are EXTREMELY GRATEFUL to the WEDGEWOOD STAFF (ALEX-wedding coordinator, YESENIA-reception coordinator, and VINCENT) and DJ (JON CRANE) and Shy Heart Studios Photographer (SARAH KING) for their flexibility, understanding, and patience. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our wedding started about 1.5 hours late. We appreciate the quick action of our Wedgewood staff and vendors to rearrange our timeline to make sure our guests were comfortable by opening up the cocktail hour first, rather than starting with the ceremony. Though this is not traditional, many of our guests commented how they liked starting the wedding with the cocktail hour which allowed them to mingle and get to know one another before the ceremony.

    During the reception, the Wedgewood staff, Jon and Sarah were very attentive to us and our guests. Keeping us posted on the modified timeline and making sure that we all had what we needed.

    We decided to skip the engagement photo session so we met SARAH KING (Shy Heart Studios Photographer) on the day of our wedding. Prior to our wedding day, we had spoken to Sarah on the phone to coordinate the logistics and wedding day timeline.

    Though we didn’t met Sarah beforehand, we felt comfortable photographing with her. Her easy-going and calm demeanor quickly made us feel at ease.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for making our wedding simply perfect!!!

    Shy Heart Studios was so great to work with! We booked their Charming Collection for our wedding, which included a free engagement photo session. Prior to our session, we had a quick call with our assigned photographer, Elaine, to get to know each other.

    I also didn’t know where would be a good place for photos. I told Elaine, I wanted to go somewhere beachy but also had nature scenery nearby so we could have a few different looks to choose from. Elaine suggested the perfect place for us! A small local beach that had a sand side, a rock side, a beautiful big cave/mountain background, and a nearby lush green field. And I was happy she listened to my initial request and made sure we made the most of our time and got shots in front of all the different scenic backgrounds. I also thought it was a really great way to meet, since she would also be photographing our wedding too.

    We’re not models, so posing for couple pictures didn’t come natural to us, but Elaine was really good about making us feel comfortable and positioning us and getting the most flattering angles. She’s a true professional!

    Prior to our wedding date, we had another call to go over the wedding day timeline and shots. I’m really happy we did this to make sure we were all aligned. On the wedding day, she spent nearly the whole day with us. She got all the shots I wanted and more! And their turnaround time is really quick! We got our final wedding photos in about a week! I’m so grateful to Shy Heart Studios for capturing all of the special moments from my wedding. Elaine is the absolute best!

    Thank you Shy Heart Studios for helping us capture one of the best days of our lives. I remember it was easy to communicate back and forth during the planning phase. We met our photographers the day of the wedding; Brianna was my main photographer and she was so nice, calm, patient and professional; she knew how to instruct us how to pose nicely for our wedding photos, which turned out great! Also, both of our Shy Heart Studios photographers worked well with my outside vendor Videographer. Everything went well and our photos were up faster than I expected! Thanks girls!

    The Shy Heart Studios team is extremely professional and friendly, all the while making you very comfortable during photo sessions. During our engagement and wedding, we could not help but think that we made the absolutely perfect choice. Our pictures look candid, and captured genuine moments of happiness. Additionally, their use of natural lighting makes the photos shine. Thank you, Shy Heart Studios, for capturing the most special day of our lives, and helping us convey, in photos, the true bliss we felt that day. :-)

    We loved our photographer. I communicated with her what we were looking for and she went with it and would give us feedback when she thought it wasn't a good idea or didn't look good which made the process so much better. We both felt super comfortable in front of our photographer. We loved the honesty of our photographer. We also loved how the communication worked. The emails and calls were made within 24 hours; I never felt ignored.

She is well organized and made sure she captured every precious moment. We will highly recommend her.

    Shy Heart Studios is AMAZING! Brianna took our engagement photos and our wedding day pictures. She edited and emailed photos back VERY quickly! She was great with my daughter that is 5 and made everyone feel very comfortable. She has an artistic eye for photography and captured some really beautiful moments. I couldn't be happier with choosing to work with Shy Heart Studios and would highly recommend Brianna!

    I had my wedding at Wedgewood at the Retreat and Shy Hearts was one of the photography options. I chose them because I liked their packages and prices. Brianna, the owner, did our engagement session and she was so fun to work with! My then fiance and I actually showed up that morning mad at each other and we warned her and she got us laughing and having a good time. My now husband hates his picture taken but he was very comfortable with her. The customer service was great and the photos are even better! I was so happy with our photos I love them all. If you're having your wedding at a Wedgewood location I recommend using Shy Heart since they know most venues very well and know where to get great photos. They also know the planners and it's just overall a great team to work with!
