Grace far exceeded any expectations we could have had for our photographer. She did both our engagement photos and our wedding, and every step of the way, she was exceptionally responsive, clear in what she needed from us, receptive to what we wanted out of our photos, helpful in creating our day-of timeline to ensure we had enough time for all the photos we wanted, and an overall great person. And of course her photos are amazing and gorgeous and we love her editing style! Could not more highly recommend working with Grace!!

USSB was seriously amazing for our November 2025 wedding. Joanie and her team were so great to work with, super responsive, organized, and just genuinely helpful the entire time. Communication was easy from the beginning and I honestly have zero complaints. We had both our ceremony and reception there with about 100 people, and it was the perfect size. It felt intimate but still had plenty of room for everyone to celebrate comfortably. They also recommended some incredible vendors, which made planning so much easier. We booked our caterer through their recommendation, DJs Catering, and I’m so glad we did, highly recommend! Our wedding planner was also a recommendation, Melena with Sage and Slate. she was the best and has worked weddings there before. The venue also recommended our DJ... DJ Darla Bea. Overall, it was such a great experience and I would 100% recommend USSB to anyone looking for a wedding venue. It truly felt perfect for our day! Thank you so much USSB!!!!!!

We were beyond impressed with Justin as our DJ and MC for our wedding at Rancho De Las Palmas! Justin was highly recommended by our friends and did not disappoint. From the very beginning his professionalism stood out. We met before booking and the session was extremely informative. Justin also has his own site where you can add all your music preferences and add the information for your wedding day. Justin took time to meet with us multiple times leading up to our wedding to make sure we were completely comfortable with the flow of the day. He was on time, had all his own equipment for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, did a MIC check with our officiant, provided wireless microphones for ceremony and reception and included uplighting in our reception space. What was most impressive though was our dance floor being full ALL NIGHT. Justin truly knows how to read a room and keep guests of all ages engaged. We had an absolute blast dancing the night away and are still receiving tons of compliments about the music at our wedding!

Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
Santa Barbara, CA
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,750

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

We hired Lerina for our 2021 wedding and she stuck with us through pandemic reschedules with such empathy. We were both uncomfortable being in front of the camera but she was so easy to work with and ensured things went as quickly as possible for us. It was so helpful to have the engagement shoot included so that we could see what we'd be in for on the big day. The engagement photos came quickly and were beautiful. On our Wedding day Lerina and her team were early, and helped keep things moving. The preview photos came within a week and were stunning. A few weeks later we got the full set and were blown a way. She captured all of the moments we wanted perfectly. I would recommend Lerina to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer, or franky any professional photos!

Note that this is a review for the 12-Week Wedding Planning & Day-Of Coordination service. My wife and I recently had a wedding with Brenda as our day-of coordinator and we could not have been happier with the experience. Since we were doing a significant amount of wedding planning ourselves, we did not intend to have a day-of coordinator. However, many of our vendors asked who we would be using and after some consideration, we decided to invest in one and we are so happy we did. Brenda is very professional, organized, and assertive, which are all integral to being a great coordinator. From our first call, she demonstrated her knowledge about how to run a smooth wedding by asking us details and questions we had not even considered. She uses Honeybook, has automated emails, and remembers even the smallest details, showing how strong her systems are in place. And most of all she is assertive! We were able to hand off planning to her about two weeks before and things the day of went smoothly with our limited involvement. Considering the 12-week package, Brenda has extremely involved and communicative from the moment we started planning. We had many email communications, in addition to phone calls and site visits/rehearsals to ensure everything was smooth. It put us at ease to be alongside someone so experienced. All of these aspects allowed us to be able to soak in the day as much as we could. We are both very happy with her services and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a wedding.

Leah helped make our wedding the best day of our life. From the beginning, Leah was easy to work with, she listened closely to what we envisioned for our wedding and was able to provide us with creative ideas when we needed some help or felt overwhelmed. Leah's photography skills were superb and she provided us with so many beautiful pictures of us, our friends, venues, and so much more. Her turnaround time on getting us the photos was so quick too! Not only did she provide great photos, but she assisted as our "day-of-coordinator." Leah eased our fears so many times leading up to the wedding, she was easy to get a hold of or would reach out to us to make sure our wedding was coming together, and helped us communicate with some our other vendors when we needed an extra hand. Leah was the MVP of our wedding! You NEED her to be your photographer and she is worth every penny to be your day-of-coordinator too. We will be using Leah again for family photos!

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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we even start? Choosing Moments by Frank was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We knew we wanted a photographer who wouldn’t just take beautiful pictures but would truly capture how the day felt—and wow, did they deliver. Looking through our photos and watching our video was emotional in the best way possible. It wasn’t just a collection of pretty moments—it was our wedding, exactly as we remembered it. The joy, the happy tears, the way our families looked at us, the little in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening… they caught it all. It felt like stepping right back into that day, and we can’t stop looking at them. But what made the experience even better? Frank and his team felt like old friends. From the moment we inquired with him, he was so friendly and social and so easy to get along with him. On the wedding day, they blended in so seamlessly with our family and friends, making everyone feel comfortable. The last thing we wanted was to feel like we were stuck in a never-ending photoshoot, and they got that. They let the moments unfold naturally, gave just enough direction when needed, and made sure we could actually be present on our wedding day. If you’re looking for a team that’s not just talented but also genuinely amazing to be around, this is it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The preview photos we’ve received so far are absolutely stunning, and I couldn’t be happier with her work. I’m beyond excited to see the full gallery. What impressed me even more was how gracefully they adapted to the day’s hiccups. Despite less-than-ideal direction, they rolled with the punches and got creative, making sure to capture everything beautifully and meaningfully.

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!

Santa Barbara, CA
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,000

I’m a Santa Barbara–based photographer documenting weddings, elopements, and proposals along the coast and beyond. My approach is simple: capture the day as it actually felt. Clients often tell me how comfortable and at ease they felt being photographed, which allows moments to unfold naturally rather than feeling staged. My work leans true to color and natural in tone, with a focus on light, composition, and the in-between moments that often end up meaning the most.

From our first conversation, Studio Bibb's team was easy to work with and got back to us quickly whenever we had questions. Olivia went above and beyond by meeting us at our venue the day before the wedding to map out the best spots and understand our vision. On the big day, she captured intimate moments between my husband and me, while her second shooter got stunning photos of our families coming together. The photos are absolutely breathtaking and worth every penny—we were blown away by the quality and attention to detail. Olivia's persistence in getting everything just right meant we have images we'll treasure forever. We'd recommend Studio Bibb to any couple looking for photographers who truly care about their story.

If you're planning a wedding, engagement shoot, proposal, etc she's absolutely the person to reach out to. We highly recommend her, 1000/10 !
