Leslie was one of the preferred vendors for our wedding venue, Wedgewood Sterling Hills, and the minute I saw her online portfolio I knew I wanted her for our wedding. Now I have beautiful photos and she’s my friend for life, so it was a win-win for me. She was extremely thorough, asking important questions about myself and my husband, to ensure that she understood US as people. I felt heard and listened to every step of the way. I remember very early in our first call I mentioned that my husband makes me ALWAYS makes me laugh with small quick quiet quips. My favorite picture from our wedding is a stolen moment from our photo hour where we’re taking a break and he’s making me laugh. I love that picture. Lastly, DO THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION. Our engagement session was SO fun. Leslie gives incredible direction, she taught us how to pose, and made us feel very supported and comfortable prior to our wedding. If I saw someone else with my engagement photos I’d be so envious of how effortless they seem (so I’m glad they’re mine).

DJ Hecktik Inc.

Carpinteria, CA
  • DJ

In just over a decade, Hecktik has established himself as one of Santa Barbara County’s most skilled and popular turntablist and club DJ. Hecktik’s combined experienced as a radio show producer and large venue performer has helped solidify his reputation as a high energy and professional talent. From the studio to the stage, Hecktik has performed and recorded with hip hop legends like Too Short and GZA from Wu Tang Clan. For corporate events and chic wedding receptions, DJ Hecktik works to create a custom music atmosphere keeping guests and clients moving.

DJ Hecktik (Josh) was the absolute man. We gave him a list of songs, and he did the rest. His transition skills are the stuff of legends. He had the dance floor rocking all night! He's very versatile too. He switched from oldies to throwback rap bangers to slow dance songs seamlessly! Everyone kept saying "the DJ is killing it". He's also just genuinely a good dude! I felt very comfortable on calls with him and was very happy to have him MC my wedding day. If you are lucky enough to book DJ Hecktik, I cannot recommend enough!

Book Sarah now!! My fiance hired Sarah for a surprise proposal photoshoot and a 1-hour engagement session after. Every step of the way, Sarah was excellent! She was quick to respond to my fiance and coordinated everything seamlessly. Once I arrived at the spot, she was discreet to not ruin the surprise. When we finally met for the longer shoot, I was instantly at ease. Taking engagement pictures is awkward- posing, PDA, being overly excited about everything- and Sarah was great at handling everything! She was easy to talk to, had tons of great ideas, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. From making sure I could handle certain types of terrain in my shoes to ensuring that my short dress would be fine for any lift photos, she was professional and prepared every step of the way. Sarah shot our photos on Sunday; by the time we were sitting at dinner an hour later, she had sent us 5 pictures already edited. By Monday we had a gif, and by Thursday we had the entire gallery. Not only are the pictures gorgeous, but Sarah's efficiency, professionalism, and outstanding quality made such a difference for us. We are so lucky to have worked with her and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone! Thank you so much, Sarah, for being a part of one of the most special days of our lives!

Michele was our full wedding planner. Our wedding went perfect without a single hitch and it was all thanks to Michele. We had the caterer for our rehearsal dinner drop out one week before the event and Michele found us a replacement within an hour; and the replacement caterer was a slam dunk. Everyone loved the food. On the day of the wedding and rehearsal dinner Michele and Dan did everything. And I mean everything. She set up tables, positioned flowers and welcome signs and seating charts. She ironed over disagreements with vendors and never once did we have to lift a finger. It is a common saying that the bride and groom never enjoy their own wedding but we thoroughly had a blast at ours thanks to Michele. She is forever our go-to recommendation to all our friends getting married. If she has availability to plan your wedding, book her.

Where do we even begin?! We found Justin (DJ JAS) on TikTok and were instantly impressed by his smooth transitions, creative remixes, and upbeat style — but WOW, he completely exceeded our expectations. From day one, Justin was professional, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented. He helped us curate custom playlists for every part of the day — from pre-ceremony to our final dance — setting the perfect tone and mood at every stage. Music was one of our top priorities, and thanks to DJ JAS, our dance floor was PACKED all night long. We’re talking sore-feet-the-next-day energy (which he promised us in one of our planning meetings — and delivered 1000%). One of our groomsmen literally skipped the bar, the photobooth, and the guestbook because “the jams were just too good.” Beyond the party, Justin handled all things audio like a pro — our ceremony mic setup was crystal clear, and he even coordinated directly with our officiant before the ceremony to make sure everything ran smoothly. He was also incredibly respectful and flexible when my dad planned a surprise — communicating ahead of time and helping pull it off flawlessly. Hiring DJ JAS was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. His energy, skill, and professionalism made the entire day unforgettable. We cannot recommend him enough and are already dreaming up another event just so we can work with him again!

After going back and forth with ideas of a wedding and elopement, we decided to elope at the courthouse in hopes of getting married on our dating anniversary. Unfortunately, the Courthouse can be booked months in advance so we were looking for a nice venue to host us with less than a month away. That's where the USSB came in. With the micro-wedding package, we were able to have a low-cost, intimate, and beautiful wedding ceremony. Joanie was very accommodating with arranging short notice visits to the venue and with entertaining our ideas as we honed in our vision for the wedding. Her and John even took care of the day-of-coordination, allowing our florist to set up the pews and altar and the photographer to post above for some aerial shots. On the wedding day, everything went seamless and stress-free. We can't thank them enough for accommodating us so last minute. We also get so many compliments on the look of the church itself which is always great to hear! There is a also a beautiful park (Keck Alice Park) across the street where we got some amazing photos as well.

Your wedding deserves more than just photos—it deserves an experience. With over 15 countries captured, I create timeless, editorial, and emotionally rich images that transport you back to the moment. Every glance, every touch, every fleeting second—preserved with artistry and intention.

Wow. Just wow. Choosing Moments by Frank was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we reached out, Frank and his team were responsive, warm, and genuinely excited about capturing our day. It felt like working with friends who just happened to be incredibly talented photographers and videographers. On the wedding day, they blended in so effortlessly that our guests kept asking if they were longtime friends of ours. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and their energy and kindness helped ease every bit of nervousness. They knew exactly when to step in for direction and when to let moments unfold naturally. And then came the photos… breathtaking. Every image told the story of our day with raw, elegant emotion. They captured the big, epic moments but also the fleeting ones—the teary glances, the spontaneous laughter, the way our parents looked at us. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the best day of our lives, frame by frame. If you're on the fence about hiring Moments by Frank, just do it. They’re more than just photographers; they’re storytellers who will make your experience as seamless and joyful as the final product. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Randy was such a joy to have as our day of coordinator. Not only did he take time ahead of the event to ask questions, and make sure he had all the details he needed to be successful, he has so much experience with events and catering he was a great person to bounce ideas and questions off of as we were getting all of our catering and rental contracts in order. On our actual wedding day, it’s hard to even describe what a pivotal role Randy played in making the whole thing such a huge success! He managed all the details perfectly to a T, including managing stressed family members and making sure we didn’t get pulled into any drama or questions from vendors or guests. I also love that he was willing to roll up his sleeves and be an extra pair of hands to our vendors in busy moments like bartending and making sure everything was cleaned/picked up before our venue deadline.

Angie, you were absolutely incredible to work with. We had a wonderful time partnering with Angie to create our dream wedding. She was recommended to us by our venue, The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, and we are so happy we chose her! Angie has such a positive personality, always kept everything under control, and never let us feel overwhelmed. It was so smooth at times we wondered what we were forgetting, and Angie always reassured us that we had it all covered. She did it ALL - from getting our vendor rates and availability sorted to showing us all our options and details that made the day come to life. Through our regularly scheduled calls and all the messaging in between, she asked all the right questions to help guide the process, (even for things we hadn't even thought about) and was always available for the one-off questions and to keep us sane, especially during those final two critical months before the big day. Angie also has a wonderful website that organized all our to-do lists, inspo pics, budget info, timelines, vendor details, etc. We didn’t realize how essential something like this was for keeping us on track, and it was little extra details like this that made such a difference. It's because of Angie that we had such wonderful vendors, a significantly less painful planning experience, and a flawlessly executed wedding day!

I specialize in maternity, family photography, engagement, elopement, & intimate weddings in Santa Barbara County -- My second home on Kauai if you are looking to elope on the beautiful beaches (please inquire for date availability, no travel fees)

I recently hired Leah for a proposal at the SB botanical gardens and she genuinely made a special day perfect! First off, we thought that her photography style is perfect for the colorful surroundings of SB. Unlike most other engagement/proposal shoots, the photos were not washed out, but really highlighted the setting we were in. She was able to not only capture our special moment in a documentary style, but also managed to capture the beauty of the gardens! A place that is very special to my fiancee and I. And during the proposal, Leah was incredible! She not only was able to help capture the moment, but also took the time to walk us through the gardens, helping us get perfect photos across the park. What she quoted as a 45 min session, easily turned into over an hour. Making sure that we got each and every one of the shots we wanted. And she even managed to get us the photos less than 3 hours after! The photos we got are so pretty that my fiancee and I find ourselves looking over the photos we got almost every other day. We are so thrilled that we found Leah and know that you will feel the same way! I really could not recommend her enough Thank you Leah!

Hi There! I'm Katherine (or Kay!). I've loved weddings for as long as I could remember and I believe I have one of the best jobs in the whole world. I love being able to capture moments from one of the best days of a couples lives and I get to do it alongside my best friend, my Husband. You could call us nerds; we love Harry Potter, puzzles and video games. Our favorite vacation spot is definitely Las Vegas and we both love good Mexican food. We have two fur babies; Bella and Betsy and yes they are so spoiled. The Husband, Abraham (or Bram) is also an engineer when he's not capturing weddings and a Cal Poly alum.

Kay is simply the best photographer on the planet, me and my husband are from Italy and France and we’ve never met a photographer that is so professional, optimistic and fun. It’s like an old friend is taking pictures of you, she makes you feel very comfortable and knows how to make you look beautiful on your special day. We’ve hired her for our engagement session back in 2018 and now for our wedding on May 8th. What else is there to say? Be ready Kay. We’ll hire you so many other times and be ready to fly to Italy in a couple of years.

Debbie is amazing!!!!! If you are looking for florist, don’t look further. Debbie is crazy talented, sweet, easy to talk to and professional. I am soooo happy that we trusted Debbie for our big day. People are still talking about the wedding flowers (even ppl who were not even at the wedding after seeing pictures) We had to make change our venue last minute due to covid and she was very flexible and accommodating. She sketched out altar designs, sent us mood boards so we had a good idea of what to expect. Would highly recommend!!!!

Jausalynn is truly a master of her craft. I came to her a little over 8 month before our big day with a vision but really allowed her creative juices to flow as we were deciding on our florals. She provided professional and helpful advice but allowed our vision to stay true to us. I was in awe at how many options she provided us that were so aligned with what we brought to her initially. She set up recurring meetings to ensure we stayed aligned and would even send pics of some pieces that worked with our style and interests. I felt so confident that Jaus would bring our vision to life even after our initial prospect call but I didn't know it would have turned out as amazing as it did. The bouquet, boutonnières, aisle moment, bar moment....EVERYTHING was done so perfectly and it was so intentional. I had a dream to incorporate fruits into our tablescape and Jaus made it happen and was so creative in her placements. I couldn't believe it when I saw it! Hiring a florist is truly putting trust in someone to deliver on a vision that you have....hiring Jaus was the single best decision we made on our wedding day. Not to mention she is the kindest most wonderful soul I have ever met and I feel honored to have worked with her. If you have even a slight interest in having the best experience with your wedding florals you better book her. She will change your life for the better!
