    True Photography was fantastic to work with! Their team was professional, fun, and incredibly accommodating from start to finish. Huge shoutout to Avalon and Jen for being our go-to contacts throughout the entire process—they were so patient and responsive with all our questions and correspondence. An even bigger shoutout to our amazing photographers, Pauleen and Bruna, and our videographer, Dustin. They all went above and beyond on our wedding day to capture every special moment. True Photography made everything so easy, and I truly can’t express my appreciation enough. I would absolutely recommend them and would love to work with them again!

    I can not emphasize enough how much I recommend True. Chris and Jeremiah were absolutely on it all day and I received mountains of compliments and words of excitement before they even left the venue. Their turn around is incredibly fast and every single product they provided was absolute perfection.

    We had a great experience with true photography and video! The company was very professional, organized, and was quick to respond to any questions we had during the wedding planning process. We booked an engagement photo session with them and they worked with us and our timeline to make the session happen in enough amount of time to get our save the dates out. For our wedding we were assigned Megan O and Anthony for photography and Kyle Garrett as our videographer. Megan O and Anthony had great energy throughout the night and were so helpful! Megan created a detailed organized checklist of all the photos that I wanted and made sure to capture each picture that I had noted on my shot list. Kyle zoomed around during the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception to capture wonderful videos. Both the photographer and videographer came up with natural and flattering poses and we were very happy with the results. I would highly recommend this company!

It’s truly an honor to have been part of such an important moment in your lives. We’re so happy you're thrilled with the results, and your kind recommendation means the world to us. Wishing you and Dylan all the happiness in the world! <3

    This past Monday, I married my best friend of 11 years—the love of my life, my soulmate—at the most perfect wedding venue, Los Willows in Southern California. One of the best decisions we made was choosing True Photography to capture the most important day of our lives. But where we truly got lucky was with our photographer, Pauleen. From the moment she arrived and introduced herself, I knew we were in for a magical day. She instantly made everyone feel comfortable, beautiful, and excited to be in front of the camera. Her energy was incredible—she worked quickly, guided us with effortless direction, and kept us relaxed and in the moment. Pauleen didn’t just meet our expectations; she exceeded them in every way. She captured every shot we had hoped for and so much more, turning our memories into art. Her talent, expertise, and creativity added so much to our wedding day, and we feel so grateful to have had her behind the lens. We cannot wait to see all of our photos! If you’re getting married and looking for a photographer, look no further—Pauleen won’t just capture the moments you envision, she’ll bring the love and beauty of your day to life.

    Response from vendor•Jun 20, 2025
    Thank you so much for such a beautiful and touching review! Your kind words truly mean so much to us, and we’re so honored to have been part of your beautiful wedding day. Pauleen absolutely loved spending the day with you both and capturing every moment of your love story. She brings so much heart and joy into what she does, and hearing how much that meant to you is everything. Thank you again for trusting us with your memories and for sharing such sweet words. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and love!
