Malorie K Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding photographer. She was kind and responsive, and so sweet to work with throughout the entire process. Receptive to our suggestions, the pictures she captured are truly amazing - so professional and high-quality. Multiple guests commented on how great Malorie was, describing her as the "small ninja with the camera" because she was everywhere but also not in anyone's way of seeing our big day. We are so grateful to have had Malorie there to beautifully document our special day.

Renee and Ricky are two of the most incredible people I’ve met, not only did we immediately feel comfortable with them but they became more like friends. They are so insanely skilled at their craft, Renee knows exactly how to capture every moment. Having them both there at our wedding truly made Dylan and I feel so at ease. They were so helpful, they went above and beyond. They made sure Dylan and I were good the entire time, they were constantly checking on the two of us asking if we needed anything(water, food etc). When we need photos we will make the drive out to California just to have our photos taken by Renee and Ricky. There’s no other photographer/ videographer I would recommend other than these two! Thank you both so much.

For the past 10 years I have been able to use my passion for art and photography to help my clients create uniquely beautiful memories that they will enjoy for years to come.

The quality of Savannah’s work is absolutely outstanding. As an upcoming bride, I wanted someone who would be able to capture intimate moments and make us feel comfortable enough to be ourselves and have that reflected in our photos. The photos we received reflect Savannah’s creativity, artistic style, and attention to detail. A part from the high quality of product she produces, her talent has been proven over her many years in the industry, and that is abundantly evident. She was very communicative throughout, leading up to our engagement photoshoot and after. We just received our engagement photos and we were overjoyed. We will be coming back for our special moments to be captured by the one and only, Savannah Rose!

Within a few short minutes of our session, we felt so comfortable with her and laughed so much. She captured sooo many beautiful moments! Seeing her again for our wedding was like seeing a friend again. She is super friendly and knows what she’s doing! She ensures that you get exactly what you want in your photos and makes it seem so effortless! Our photos came out so beautiful and we have so many to look back on.

MissySure Photography

  • Serves Palm Desert, CA

Yes, we read energy, notice micro-interactions, and understand when to step in, when to step back, and when a moment is more than what it appears. Our work isn’t built on trends or buzzwords; it’s built on awareness, presence, and an ability to translate the unspoken parts of your day into images with real meaning. Our work isn’t about forcing a vibe; it’s about translating who you really are into images that feel familiar, honest, and grounded. Based in Riverside, CA and beyond, we don’t just show what happened — we show what mattered.

I couldn't recommend MissySure Photography more. I was in a car accident the day BEFORE my wedding day. I sprained my knee and got a second degree burn on my left hand. Not only was MissySure Photography kind, professional, and personable but they also made sure I was comfortable and allowed me take as many and as long of a break I needed. When we got the pictures back we were in love. They came out beautifully and you'd never know I burnt my hand. Her communication was prompt, thorough, and personalized, making the entire process seamless. We were sent a google poll document which allowed us to really tailor what kind of photos were important to us. We decided to elope within the month and MissySure Photography took the time to make sure we understood the process, what to expect, and how many hours was realistic for what we wanted. Day of the team was amazing. Missy was great at giving direction and posing us and making us feel comfortable behind the camera. We were able to take photos with friends, family, and even go to a second near by location because we weren't rushing. Im so thankful we were able to book MissySure Photography for our special day.

As a wedding photographer, my approach goes beyond just capturing moments. I strive to tell a unique and heartfelt story that reflects you and your couple’s love, personality, and cultural background. With a background in film and a passion for photography, I blend cinematic storytelling with documentary-style photography. I focus on capturing not just the big moments but also the in-between, fleeting glances, joyful tears, and spontaneous laughter that make a wedding day truly unforgettable.

We were thrilled with the services provided by Daniel, our wedding photographer. His communication throughout the process was excellent - he was prompt in responding to our inquiries and very helpful in guiding us through the photography timeline for our big day. The quality of his work was pristine, as evidenced by the beautiful slideshow he created using our photos that was presented during the ceremony. The pictures he captured truly brought our special moments to life and touched everyone in attendance. We highly recommend Daniel and all the services he provides. He went above and beyond to deliver an experience that exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much, Daniel, for the time and care you dedicated to making our wedding day so memorable.

Two artists with over twenty years of combined photography experience, Todd & Adam are a premier husband-and-husband wedding photography team. The duo partnered together in 2018 and have since photographed weddings around the country and internationally, utilizing their unique style and technical skillset to tell joyful love stories with intention and lyrical artistry. Their work features in renowned publications such as People Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, BRIDES, Out Magazine and many others. The duo splits their time between homes in Palm Springs and Boston and accepts destination wedding assignments globally.

Todd is an incredible wedding photographer - as both a fellow wedding vendor and as a bride my experience with him was absolutely outstanding. As a colleague, it was a always a joy to arrive to an event to find that Todd was the photographer - his warm demeanor and kindness made every event we collaborated on extra special. Couples clearly adored him - I've known clients who returned to Todd after their weddings for family portraits, baby showers, birth announcements and all the other life milestones that he helps to commemorate with gorgeous photographs. I have recommended Todd to my dearest friends and cannot say enough good things about his incredible eye, warm presence and commitment to his craft.   When it came time to have my own wedding, there was no one else I could have imagined capturing the details of the day. Todd was an absolute joy to work with and his exquisite skill as a photographer made our wedding day incredibly special. As a very shy person, I was nervous about being photographed but Todd put me at my ease immediately and managed to make me feel relaxed, calm and centered enough to enjoy the day. Todd has a wonderful eye for composition and capturing the most beautiful and touching candid moments. As part of my getting ready photos, Todd took a picture of of me petting my beloved cat and that black and white photo is still one of my favorite photographs ever - both because it captures something intimately personal with deep significance, but also because it is a gorgeously composed work of art.   In addition to making beautiful photos, Todd's warmth, good humor and palpable love for his work make him a dream to work with. It's impossible not to smile around Todd, not just because he's taking your picture, but because his gentle energy makes you feel completely at your ease and cared for - his own smile radiates joy. Todd effortlessly manages all the complex details that go into capturing each and every moment of your special day and the results are breathtaking. I cannot recommend Todd highly enough!

I’m the girl who faces into the cool breeze and lets the sunlight hit her cheeks. I’m the friend who gets the late night texts asking for valuable, heartfelt opinions. Those late evening drives in the jeep with the windows rolled down and the country songs turned up… that’s me ya’ll that’s me! There’s nothing quite like authenticity, love, and vulnerability. That is exactly what I see and what I capture when I get behind my camera and face it out into our beautiful world. Let’s be unapologetically ourselves and get out in nature, in the golden light and be willing to adventure. Are you ready? I am.

Amber and Billy are a dream to work with! They captured every detail beautifully and thoughtfully. Supremely professional demeanor and top notch photos. The photo viewing portal is easy to interact with, too. I couldn't be more pleased with them and their work.

If I’m not busy photographing people, tending to my two fur children, studying medicine, or being a firewife, you can catch me on the couch with snacks and Grey’s Anatomy or out adventuring with my husband. What I love about my job is being a part of someones most special moments of their life. How cool is it that I get to help plan a surprise proposal?! Or witnessing two lovers enjoy time together? How about a pregnancy announcement?! I love every second of being a part of something so much bigger than myself.
