Hello! I’m Laura Ford, a Midwestern native who has fully adopted sunny Southern California as home. I’ve been living and working in Los Angeles & Santa Barbara since 2013, and have happily kissed winter boots and car ice scrapers goodbye forever!  As far as aesthetic goes, my photos are bright, cheerful and thoughtfully framed. Combining the perfect setting with the right color palate and a bit of art direction for my clients is my superpower. My approach for portraits can be described as editorial, and my goal is to artfully capture the essence of you!

“Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were attentive, willing to get on the phone with us, and on top of any changes we needed to make. They explored our venue ahead of time to find the best photo spots, guided us through the entire process, and delivered our photos with a super quick turnaround. Laura and her team really took the time to get to know my husband and I, which made the whole experience feel so personal. They were also incredibly flexible and willing to work with all the dynamics of my family. Laura is simply wonderful, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that captured our special day.”

Hi, I’m Brooke—a Southern California wedding photographer, wife, and mama. After photographing more than 300 weddings, what I love most is capturing the people and moments that make each one personal. My style blends sun-kissed portraits, timeless candids, and thoughtful details. I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when the moment deserves it, so you can spend less time worrying about the camera and more time enjoying your people. Serving Ventura, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara counties, I create photographs that help you remember not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt.

“If you’re looking for a wedding photographer and reading this, you may as well stop searching now because hiring Brooke was the greatest decision my husband and I made for our wedding. Throughout our planning process Brooke was so kind and helpful and listened to our vision. We knew she was going to be good… but the end result was exceptional. On the day, Brooke and her team seamlessly blended in to the wedding, with kindness, fun, and precision. We felt so relaxed and comfortable in her presence and neither my husband nor I are used to taking pictures or being in front of a camera in this way - with Brooke, it felt easy. No time felt “wasted” posing and every decision was intentional and clearly had been thought out in advance by Brooke. Within 24 hours, we received our previews and absolutely were blown away with Brooke’s talent… whatever you’re needing Brooke for… hire her immediately. She is the kindest and greatest photographer ever. We can’t express our gratitude enough.”

Adam Kent Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Ojai, CA

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Adam Kent Photography is the epitome of professionalism and creativity. Adam’s 20 years of capturing weddings speaks volumes. Before our big day he worked with us and provided amazing insights that helped us shape our day of schedule so that we could capture all the photos we wanted and make time for us to enjoy our celebration. He also did a portrait session with us prior to the wedding to provide posing instructions and get us comfortable on camera. On the day of our wedding Adam truly shined. His experience came through in every situation, from preparing us for our first look, getting our toddler guests to smile, organizing large group shots and spontaneously crafting intimate portraits throughout the evening. He always had a sense of calm, humor and cheerfulness that made what could be a stress-filled day fun and lively. When we received our wedding photos, we were stunned with how many amazing moments he had captured. Our guests also could not stop telling us how much they liked our photographer. In life you run into special people, and Adam is one of those. If you need a photographer for your wedding or any event, I strongly recommend you consider hiring Adam.”

“My husband and I couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience with Brittney! From the moment I met her, I immediately knew I wanted her to be our photographer. At a wedding showcase with 30 other photographers, she was the only one I felt comfortable with. She felt like a friend from the start. Before the wedding, Brittney was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and helping us plan all the perfect shots and details. She knew what to ask and was so patient with us throughout the entire planning process. One of the standout moments from the wedding was when our 1-year-old daughter, who was the flower girl, had a full-on meltdown. Despite the chaos, Brittney was incredibly patient and worked some kind of magic to capture the most gorgeous and creative photos with our screaming toddler! I truly dont know how she did it but we got great shots of everyone. She was even patient with our dog who had to take frequent breaks from the heat! The pictures turned out amazing, and we are so grateful for her patience, her creativity, and her ability to capture the true essence of the day—even the most challenging moments. We had a very small outside ceremony in Long Beach with only our immediate families. Brittney felt like an extension of our family being there. I truly felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also calm, professional, and a joy to work with!”

We are Dustin and Courtney, best friends and photographers. Before we shot weddings together we were a bride and groom. Yep, dated and married in less than a year! We just knew we wanted to do life together. As time has gone by we learned much more important things about each other. For example, Dustin’s heart can easily be won over with a hot cup of coffee, surfing, chasing our kids and any action movie. Courtney's perfect day includes drinking a chai latte, going for a hike with the family and shopping.

“Dustin and his team were truly a delight to work with for my wedding! He is so kind, creative, attentive, profressional, positive, energetic and makes you feel at ease during your event. My husband does not like to take photos and he had nothing but great things to say about Dustin. And the pictures of course were amazing! Do not hesitate to book Dustin for your next event, you won't regret it!”

My favorite part about what I do is working with all of the great couples I get to meet. I love getting to know my clients and discovering what is most important to them about their wedding day. Each and every wedding is different and each deserves a unique approach to capture thoughtfully. It is exciting that I get to see into so many different little worlds every day. My motto is to do everything in love, and I feel like that is reflected in my work and attention to detail. Also, its great getting to be around happy people all day!

“On your wedding day things go by so quickly and it can be difficult to think back on specific moments or individual details. So, I can't overstress the importance of getting great photos that capture things as they were, rather than just an exciting blur of color and familiar happy faces that your memory will likely be left with. Keeping that in mind, the photographer you choose and trust with such an integral part of your wedding day has to be someone you have full confidence in and, wholeheartedly, I can say that Kiernan meets and exceeds all the expectations of what makes an incredible wedding photographer. She was able to make my (now) husband and I feel relaxed, while also offering VERY helpful and necessary directions of how to pose (down to the way to tilt our head, where to look, where our hands should be, etc) and that was so appreciated! It made me feel so much more confident to know that if something needed to be changed or corrected in order to get the best photo possible, she would notice it and then she’d let us know what we need to do to get that shot. Then, after the wedding, when my husband and I received our sneak peek photos, (which were sent so quickly that we got them while we were still in our post-wedding hotel suite) and we were blown away by how beautiful they turned out. There were so many amazing shots that I loved, I couldn’t pick a favorite... I had at least 10-15 top favorites. To wrap it up, Kiernan is an insanely talented photographer, a true professional and just an overall sweet, lovely person. If you are getting married soon and are looking for a photographer that will be able to deliver photos you will cherish forever AND who will make you feel comfortable and confident while the photos are being taken... I highly recommend Kiernan Michelle Photography, as I sincerely believe she is the best you will find... I know she was for me!”

We loved working with Ruth - super easy, relaxed style which was perfect for us. We wanted to be comfortable and not notice a photographer since it can be awkward. Her journalistic approach was perfect for us and captured so much more then we could have imagined.

  • Serves Ojai, CA

With over fourteen years of Art, Design and Photography experience, I pride myself in treating Photography as not just a profession, but a passion. To me photography is a way of life, an addiction and a creative outlet. I consider myself to be an artist and photography is my chosen medium. I am a wife and mother of 2 very busy teenagers. I am also a world traveler and scuba diver, who loves animals, being in nature and finding the beauty in the little things.

“If you’re looking for a sign to hire Jesi as your wedding photographer, this is it. She is that good. From the very beginning of wedding planning to the final gallery delivery, Jesi was nothing short of incredible. Her work is everything I dreamed of moody, timeless, dramatic, and beautifully editorial. The photos we received are absolutely insanely stunning and truly everything I had envisioned. I still can’t stop looking at them! Jesi did more than just show up and take pictures. She became a mini wedding planner, a guide, and honestly a friend throughout the entire process. She checked in on me via FaceTime, shared advice and vendor recommendations, sent helpful links (everything from vintage rental cars to groom accessories), and provided super helpful wedding and rehearsal checklists. She also sent over a detailed questionnaire to make sure she fully understood our vision, shot list, and timeline. Her thoughtfulness and experience took so much stress off my plate. On the wedding day, Jesi exceeded every expectation. She arrived extra early (which any bride knows is a MAJOR relief) and once it was time for photos, she made us feel confident and comfortable. My husband and I are not natural posers, but she guided us with ease hyping us up, giving clear direction, and reminding us how amazing everything looked. She even showed us sneak peeks throughout the day, which was so fun and reassuring. The morning of the wedding she also sent a sweet message that instantly calmed my nerves. It was such a small gesture but meant the world to me. And the best part? The sneak peek gallery she delivered afterward wasn’t just a handful of photos, it was a huge selection, and every single shot was gorgeous. I don’t know how she does it, but she gets so many photos and somehow they’re all incredible. I truly cannot recommend Jesi enough. She is talented, thoughtful, professional, creative, and genuinely invested in her couples. She was everything I wanted in a photographer and so much more. If you’re considering booking her, don’t hesitate, just do it. You’ll be so grateful you did!”

As a lifelong dancer, Loretta established herself as one of the most sought after dance photographers. Her love and understanding of movement gives her a unique insight into capturing life in motion. The pursuit for finding people in their most candid moments is a passion that has taken Pamela all over the world. Capturing people in their most raw and honest moments has become the foundation of her “heart-led” photography.

“The Heirlume gals are EVERYTHING!! We had the best time working with them. They were so much fun, did an AMAZING job on both our wedding and engagement photos. They're such calm, good vibes gals... and so BEYOND talented. They made us look and FEEL so great on our wedding day. They helped us get the shots we wanted while also providing awesome creative direction. Genuinely could not have asked for better. So so so glad we found them.”
