Brett and his videographer were great to work with! Our coordinator had us on a tight timeline, but Brett was quick, efficient, and made sure to capture all the important details and more. He struck the perfect balance between getting us for posed shots and giving us space to enjoy the day. The posed photos are stunning, and he also captured really beautiful candid moments. Brett was incredibly organized, making sure everything was clear well in advance so we knew exactly what to expect and what to have ready for his arrival. We ended up with so many gorgeous photos, and our highlight video reel is something we’ll cherish forever. Everything came within the promised timeline, and Brett was also very accommodating with a few additional requests we had. The investment was absolutely worth it for everything we received, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results!

We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Alli – Alexandra Wallace for our engagement and wedding photos. From the initial consultation to the final delivery (within 30 days of the date!) of the photos, every step of the process was handled smooth, organized and her creativity is amazing! On the day of the wedding, Alli went above and beyond to capture every special moment. She was well-prepared, but also incredibly personable, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. Her ability to blend into the background while still capturing candid, intimate moments was truly impressive. We love her style each and every photo. What sets Alli apart is her attention to detail and dedication. She knew the perfect spots for our first look, bridal shots, and family photos. She also managed to capture the essence and emotions of the day beautifully, providing us with a stunning collection of photos that we will cherish forever. As promised, the final photos were delivered well before the promised date. The quality of the images exceeded our expectations; every photo was vibrant, well-composed, and perfectly edited. It was evident that she spent time on each photo and took ownership over her work. We highly recommend Alli and her team to any couple looking for a wedding photographer who is not only talented but also dedicated to making your special day unforgettable. Thank you, Alli, for giving us such beautiful memories to look back on!

I came across Sarah’s Instagram page as my now husband and I were looking for a photographer for our Santa Barbara elopement. Went thru her Instagram and decided to contact her, after speaking with her we knew Sarah was the one. She was very professional and took her time answering all our questions and explaining everything to us. The day of our elopement Sarah arrived on time and starting photographing making sure to capture every special moment. Sarah also speaks Spanish which made it a lot easier for some our guests. She truly made all of us feel comfortable. Also, Sarah made suggestions of places where we could get beautiful photos and without a doubt those turned out to be some of our favorites. The day after our elopement we were surprised with a sneek peek and within a week we received all our beautiful photos. Sarah is truly amazing! We will highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun photographer and amazing photos!

  • Serves Montecito, CA

I’ve been a Santa Barbara wedding photographer for 14 years, drawn to effortless, artful documentation from the very beginning. With a background in visual merchandising, marketing studies in Paris, and valuable business experience in the corporate world, I eventually returned to photography—always my first love after taking a film photography course in high school—and never looked back. More than a decade in, my love for weddings remains as strong as ever. My empathetic nature and holistic approach help create a warm, relaxed experience for every couple I work with.

Working with Emily was a dream come true! My wife and I hired her for our wedding and she ended up doing our engagement photos and the photos of our newborn baby. I don’t love photos being taken of me but she made me feel so comfortable and at home. She is so easy to work with and her photos are amazing! We are so excited to continue to work with her as our family grows.

Bedrosian Photo was an incredible choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Peter is attentive, responsive, and incredibly helpful in ensuring our vision came to life. The quality of his work was truly phenomenal - their documentary style photography captured the most authentic and one-of-a-kind moments of our special day. Peter went above and beyond to make my husband and I, who are normally camera shy, feel completely comfortable and seen. The way he was able to beautifully document the intimate Catholic faith traditions and cultural elements that were so important to us made the entire day seamless and reflective of who we are as a couple. We are over the moon with the final photos and couldn't recommend Bedrosian Photo more highly.

On our wedding day, I barely noticed them in the moment, yet somehow they captured everything: the nerves, the laughter, the quiet looks we shared when no one else was watching. Seeing the photos for the first time actually stopped me in my tracks—they weren’t just pictures, they were us, exactly as we were that day.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish.

When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks.

From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

We loved working with Murtaza and the MKEShoots team for our 6-event Indian wedding, plus engagement shoot. His passion for the art was so infectious, especially since it was our first time doing professional photos. It took us some time to warm up to the camera, but once we did, well, the pictures really speak for themselves. Murtaza especially has an incredible eye for creative photo ideas, and he and the team made it so much fun even though we were stressed out with all the wedding drama. They scoped out noteworthy outdoor locations that made amazing backdrops, helped corral family members together for group photos, and just generally went above & beyond to make sure we had coverage of all the important moments - all the big things and the small details too. The photos we ended up with were beyond what I imagined, I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Now, I just need someone to help put the wedding album together.... :)

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I finally saved up for our dream wedding in Hawaii, the best choice we ever had was to have Masha as our photographer! If you are tight on the funds, we opted out of a wedding planner and allocated are funds to a very good photographer. I am baseline awkward and she was able to make me look like a model! She is very professional, always on time/punctual with appointments and prompt email replies. She has a very in depth understanding of shadows, light, angles. I appreciate how she directs us on poses and she is very accommodating. She has a wide range of photography styles but we chose her for her editorial photography style like Vogue or Elle magazine, which is very hard to do. Would strongly recommend to anyone.
