I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

When first starting out he was happy to provide us advice, and has provided technical assistance onsite on a number of occasions. You can't go wrong when collaborating with Harrison on an event, or on anything else.

I know you’re sitting there looking through a list of photographers & wondering which one should I choose?! I know how you feel! You’re trying to see which one will capture the most beautiful photos, which one will best fit your personality, will they be able to capture those candid memories, & of course, will they fit in my budget?

I hired Holly to photograph my husband and me for my 50th birthday, and she did an amazing job. A couple of years later, we hired her again to photograph us with our beloved dog for a living healthy and lifestyle series we were working on. The photos turned out beautifully. Since then, we’ve sadly lost our pet to cancer, and I’m so grateful to have these wonderful memories captured in photos.

Not only is Precise Blend (James) one of the kindest people I've had the pleasure of working with, he is also very creative, responsive, professional and flexible when making your event come to life through music. He took time to really get to know us and it was important to him that we were happy and not stressed for our big day. He DJ'd our Sonoma Valley wedding and it was such a magical evening. His photo booth, music and lights really brought the venue to life and guests had a great time dancing. I love that his equipment is sleek, not bulky and doesn't stand out in photos. The app he works through is user friendly and I love that we were able to invite different collaborators to add songs to the dancing playlist. His team truly did a quality job on making the night memorable and I'm so glad we chose them as our music vendor! There is not enough good things I can write about Precise Blend and James. We had a few zoom meetings set up for DJ's and he was our first zoom call. We knew from the moment we talked to him that he was perfect for us and our wedding. We booked him last minute (probably 2 months in advance) and he was so accommodating. If we needed anything, he was a quick text away. He has a wonderful app to pick all your music and organize it from the processional, to the cocktail hour music, etc. I sent him a few songs that I wanted to surprise my now husband with to walk down the aisle and he put them together for me and made it perfect for us. Another great aspect was that our photographers Photo Booth broke from another wedding so we reached out to James and he made sure that we had a Photo Booth. It was amazing and the pictures from our family and friends are so fun! James has a wonderful team and made our night amazing and fun! We consider him family now. I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you forever James. We cant thank you enough! You are truly one of a kind and made our wedding amazing and so much fun! Sincerely, The Farleys

We were referred to Savvy Weddings because Amanda had coordinated my sister’s beautiful wedding in Hawaii. When my sister mentioned that Amanda had a California counterpart and partner, Sandra, who handled all California weddings, we knew we had to meet her. From the moment we connected with Sandra, it was clear—she was an absolute godsend! I truly can’t imagine having planned my wedding without her by our side. Sandra was attentive, thoughtful, and with us every step of the way. Even though we only booked the “month-of” service, she generously provided support well in advance, joining us for vendor consultations and venue walkthroughs nearly a year before the wedding. She went far beyond what we expected, giving us peace of mind through the entire planning process. Her dependability and calm presence made everything feel manageable, and I knew I could trust her completely. When the wedding weekend finally arrived, Sandra and her amazing team were on top of every detail. They took care of everything seamlessly, helping me stay calm and present—something I didn’t think would be possible with all the wedding-day jitters! Thanks to Sandra, my wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more. So much of the magic we experienced was because of her and her incredible team. I will forever cherish the memories of that day, and I am endlessly grateful to Sandra for making it all happen. If you’re considering Savvy Weddings, do yourself a favor—hire Sandra. She will make your wedding dreams come true!

I help couples create an elopement experience they wouldn't change a thing about with a highly comprehensive planning framework, and deliver photos that they want to show off on every wall.

From our first phone call with Meg, we immediately knew she was the perfect fit for us. We were planning our elopement in California from New York so finding someone that we connected with and trusted without ever meeting was a big risk. But during our call Meg took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, and ever more so after our first call to truly find out what we wanted out of our special day. Along the way she was so helpful with sending suggestions of locations, fun things to do, and once we narrowed it down sent a timeline to keep us on track. The day of our elopement we never felt like she was a pushy photographer like traditional wedding photographers are. She let us enjoy our time together and have those special moments. We can’t recommend Meg enough if you’re looking for a micro wedding or an elopement photographer!

You don’t have to choose between meaningful portraits and actually spending time with your guests. I photograph weddings for couples who value being present with the people they love, while still making time for portraits together. With thoughtful pacing and smart use of natural light, there’s time for both. My approach blends joyful, editorial-style portraits with candid coverage, guided in a way that feels calm and unobtrusive. Outside of winter weddings, there’s usually more flexibility than couples expect, allowing space for portraits and time to enjoy cocktail hour, dinner, and the moments that matter most.

From the very beginning, Kristen made us feel comfortable. She was able to take charge when it rained on our wedding day and delayed the ceremony by over an hour. I do not know what we would have done without her!! She kept everyone laughing and relaxed, and for that I cannot thank her enough. Even with the delay, she was able to finish the family pictures, our couples pics, and the wedding party AND still managed to get us to the reception ON TIME! She was absolutely incredible and even our wedding planner was so impressed by her! The pictures turned out to be everything we imagined and more and we cannot recommend her enough to our friends and family.

Where do I even begin? Our wedding would not have come together the way it did without our amazing wedding planner Kayla. We had our wedding at a private family property and everything about our day truly exceeded our expectations. Kayla & Kyla worked on so many thoughtful details all of our guests took notice to and loved, we got ENDLESS comments about how it was the best wedding our guests had ever been to! And we had so many AMAZING vendors, who were all recommendations from Kayla. Wedding planning can be stressful at times and you want to know whoever you’re working with has your back and will bring good calm energy - look no further - this IS the dream team! Love you guys!!

If you would have known me growing up, you would have been surprised if I didn’t become a photographer! I fell in love with photography after spending countless hours in the darkroom. Since 2008, I have been working professionally in the photography industry and have shot over 300 weddings and numerous other assignments in almost every genre of photography. Why Weddings? I love problem solving and puzzles, and I’m always up for a good challenge. For me, a wedding is a day full of all of the things that I love. Its basically a whole day of coming up with solutions to make the best photographs for my couples.

Lisa is absolutely amazing! She is extremely responsive, creative, reliable, and truly wonderful to work with. Lisa took the photos for our small backyard wedding and they turned out better than we could have ever imagined. The photos were a mix between artsy and regular portraits, which is exactly what we were looking for. Lisa communicated with us significantly beforehand and helped create a list of the different people we wanted photos with and any details we wanted included. She was great at making us feel comfortable and natural and helped guide us with posing. We are using Lisa for our other wedding event later in the year and we are so excited to be working with her again! We cannot recommend Lisa enough!
