Sarah Vendramini Photography

5.0

Goleta, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,800

A couple and their pets hiking in the woods...jumping in the waves at sunset...a bride dancing down the aisle...my goal is to document every scene of your story, so you can hold onto it forever. Whatever the occasion, whatever the venue, I strive to make the most out of life, capturing vibrant, authentic smiles, celebrating each moment, and spreading positive vibes. We only have one life to live...so let’s enjoy it! Though I specialize in couples photography, engagement sessions, and weddings in the Santa Barbara / Southern California area, I’m also available for maternity sessions and destination weddings.

I could truly write a novel about why Sarah was the most incredible photographer/human! First and foremost, her photos are absolutely stunning. There were certain types of photos I wanted to get and she took the effort to make sure we got each one of them. My now HUBBY and me are not the biggest fans of posed photos and she made us feel comfortable with them while also getting lots of candids. I very often have a derp face in photos, and on a day where I felt so much joy and was unaware of my face, she captured the moments in between where I wasn't full-on smiling, mouth open...all the things us ladies worry about :) She not only took beautiful photos, she was very organized and communicative leading up to the day (and even after, when she has so many other weddings on the horizon!), and then worked quickly to get the shots she needed so everyone could maximize their drinking/dancing time. When my wedding planner had to leave mid-day, she stepped in to help and was just a calming presence on a day that can be quite stressful leading up to the ceremony. It takes a special kind of human to not only deal with the pressure of photographing someone's wedding but balancing the different personalities and timelines was a whole other beast, and Sarah handled everything flawlessly. Lastly, we had a small wedding of about 70 people and each person was so very intentional, and it was very important to us that we worked with someone that felt like part of our crew, that could hang with us and have a good time. Sarah felt like (and is!) a friend and joined the party to capture some really beautiful moments with our friends and family. I was so happy when she jumped in and danced to Robyn with all of us :) The cliché is true that it's the best day of your life and that it passes by so quickly, and I'm just so glad that Sarah was there to capture all the fleeting moments and also the ones that we weren't around to witness. We could not recommend her more and would shout from the mountaintops how incredible she is!

I work full-time as a fashion and wedding photographer, and promise to get all of your Arrested Development references. I'm not here to ask you to smile and look at the camera - I'm here to be your pal and make some beautiful keepsakes to look back on!

Awarded Best of Zola
Alli is a dream photographer! She so beautifully captured our wedding and managed to keep it feeling light and so fun. There was never an awkward moment of posing or smiling. She really captured the love of our big day in such an authentic way. Her photography style is moody and perfect and we’ve printed so many of the photos to hang in our home. They are truly works of art. Communication leading up to our wedding and even after was so easy and quick. Honestly, the time we spent with Alli on our wedding day is one of the highlights of the whole day and we can’t wait to book her again for other milestone moments or simply just because we love working with her!

Based in Santa Barbara, but traveling all over the country and the world, Anthony and Preston both live out of vans and have a passion for telling captivating, beautiful stories. Anthony has a history in both high fashion photography that focuses on working with nature and natural lighting. Preston has a deep love for Videography and telling documentaries, high adventure travel, and everything in between. We have shot over 100 weddings in 20 states and seven countries, and we can't wait to continue to add to that list!

Tony and his team are my favorites to work with! They are always down to create something beautiful together. They know how to share the space with the photographers (in this case me), and communicate so well with us and the couple. Their final product is absolutely beautiful and always reflects the couple so well!

We wanted to send a quick thank you to you as you made our wedding day extraordinary! Thank you for putting up with us (and our family) for all those hours patiently waiting for that incredible sunset! Thank you for helping plan the itinerary and pick some breathtaking spots for a photo shoot and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera even though we are both so awkward and unnatural LOL!

You were such a pleasure to work with and exceeded all our expectations of what a wedding photographer could be. Thank you for being part of our picnic, haha!, and our big day!!!!

I enjoy life's simple moments- Collecting wildflowers, evening walks on the beach, and oil painting. I love my home in Santa Barbara and believe it is the most beautiful place on earth. If you are undecided about where you want to take your photographs, get ready for me to convince you to head on over to my neck of the woods.

We are used to flipping through the magazines and peaking on peoples instagram. We notice the serene and meticulous moments that encapsulate the couples love. These photos are lovely, they deserve to be on your fireplace mantle but they aren't the only photos you should be expecting from your wedding photographer! The best wedding photographers know how to capture both. I can't help but burst with joy when I am able to capture these kind of moments. With a background in Photojournalism, these documentary style shots become my favorites from a wedding day.

Adam Griffin Photo

West Hollywood, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Goleta, CA

I’m Adam—a Boston native who’s now roaming around California photographing everything I see. 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. I got my first film camera when I was 8, and it was love at first sight. Capturing your story is more than just a job for me. From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Just married on October 17th and my husband and I could not be more thrilled with Adam’s work as our photographer! We had to put our event together in less than 3 months, but Adam managed to jump in without missing a beat while being incredibly flexible and supportive during the lead up to the big day. EXCELLENT communication skills and we were never left in the dark on where he was at during the entire process. You could say Adam went the extra mile for us on our wedding day but in reality, he went a hundred miles. On top of his photography duties, he made himself available for event support and offered up his years of experience to answer our questions, while keeping us calm and on track the whole day. We would have felt lost without him. Then came the photo previews themselves (literally the next day) and we were floored. I personally feel very nervous around cameras, but Adam managed to capture some incredible moments that brought both myself and my husband to tears—these photos will bring us joy for many years to come. I would tell anyone looking to hire Adam to trust his eye and his vision, because he absolutely knows what he’s doing. We fully intend to use his services again for family portraits and cannot recommend him enough for your photography needs! A experience! -MaxJason

It sounds cheesy but I love capturing authentic and candid moments and giving you photos that you can look back on and love; I've been photographing for over 20+ years. I never realized (until going full-time with photography) that photography has always been such a present part of my life; I love documenting these moments and having them to look at later. I notice all of the small details, the exchange of smiles during a ceremony, or the look in your partner's eye when they see you for the very first time walking down an aisle. I'll capture it!

Jenn took our engagement photos on a beach in Gloucester, MA. Her casual and fun demeanor allowed us to be our authentic selves and the photos really capture that. We would consider ourselves pretty camera shy (where do I put my hands!), but Jenn gave us small corrections that made our photos look and feel natural. Not only did she exceed our expectations, but we had a blast during the whole process!

Stephen Tang Photo

Pasadena, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,100
  • Serves Goleta, CA

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephen is an amazing photographer to work with! From the moment we connected to learn more about his style and craft, we knew he'd be the one to photograph our Golden Age of Hollywood'esque wedding. As we viewed his portfolio, we were immediately drawn to his use of shadows and emboldened colors. He works with so much precision and professionalism from the beginning by asking questions to ensure he knows what you want. For our engagement photos, we wanted portraits that defied the traditional beach settings. Stephen worked with us in capturing Old Hollywood glamour shots that eventually made perfect save-the-dates. He was so meticulous in his planning and execution during our engagement photoshoot that the outcomes exceeded what we'd originally imagined. Our wedding pictures came out fantastic! Stephen made sure to capture items and moments throughout our day that define us. We married at the Cicada Club which lacks natural lighting, so Stephen explored the venue beforehand to know how to set-up the lighting for the wedding. Stephen (and his amazing colleague) not only captured our wedding but also the beauty of the venue. The best moments of our wedding were recorded with so much elegance and care. We can't stress how many compliments we continue to receive from family and friends who reminisce or peruse through our social media posts with pictures. We highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking for elegant results without the exorbitant price tag that others may come with. He was a gem to work with and look forward to hiring him for future events! (As should you!) J&J
