Holly was the best investment of my entire wedding. She not only delivered incredible engagement photos but the most magical wedding photos I could have ever hoped for - and I’ve only seen the sneak peeks! Her editing skills are also so precise and iconic - I love all the photos and she nailed the photos of my and my fiancee, which was my priority. Her energy is also so down to earth and relaxed which made me and my fiancé feel at ease with the photos. I look forward to having another party just so I can hire her again :)

The Ojai Retreat & Inn was everything we could have asked for for our wedding in early November!! We rented the whole property for our wedding party and the weekend felt like a dream oasis! Before the wedding, we were able to immerse ourselves in the serenity of the Ojai Retreat by taking a stroll on the nature path. We also enjoyed nearby restaurants (Bonnie Lu's for breakfast and Ca'Marco for our Rehearsal Dinner) that were a short car ride away. We used the living room area and the upstairs library for getting ready spaces and they were well air-conditioned and provided more than enough space for all of us- without the groom seeing the bride, of course. Then during our ceremony and reception, the beauty of the landscape and views made for marvelous photos and memories! It was truly magical and felt like an enchanted fairytale! On top of the beauty of the property, everyone who works at the Ojai Retreat & Inn is so kind and helpful! A special thank you to Dana and Lia for your help and to all the workers who helped move lawn furniture before our rentals needed to unload. They were so flexible with us and worked with us on our many random questions and requests. We can't wait to come back to the Ojai Retreat & Inn for our anniversaries!!

Rachel’s performance and professional approach throughout the day was impressive. Specifically, we had an issue with the insurance in our parking lot. Rachel made a couple of phone calls and resolved it within an hour… Crisis averted. Had it not been for her we would’ve had a serious parking dilemma on our hands! There were many situations throughout the day that I turned to her for assistance she listened and implemented a solution with grace and a calm attitude I had no idea all the details questions and details that would be thrown at us throughout the course of the day… But Rachel was ready with answers and solutions… With experience from other weddings to implement in ours.

From the moment we booked The Gardens at Los Robles Greens almost two years ago, their communication was always prompt and informative. Leading up to the wedding, they answered all my emails promptly and always made me excited for my wedding. The venue provided a day for all couples getting married in the next 4-6 months to taste the delicious food options and see the elegant rental displays, which made it easy for us to envision our perfect day. We were getting married in May so our "tasting day" was in the November before. A month before the wedding, we met with the director to finalize the floor plan for our ceremony and reception, and they handled all the setup so everything looked electric, clean, and beautiful. The one challenge I had as a bride was their rule about not having a place to refrigerate the cake prior to it being set out during the wedding, but our baker was able to deliver it at the right time so that it stayed fresh during the evening. The Gardens at Los Robles Greens truly made our special day incredibly easy and stress-free. We are so grateful for their excellent service and stunning venue.

Courtney was the first wedding vendor I contacted after getting engaged. As a wedding professional, I already knew the value in having a wedding planner, but as a bride I truly understand it. Courtney was there with us from day one of planning. She made the appointments for florals, venues, rentals, and provided suggestions for other categories. She got all the information and quotes for us, making it much easier on our end. She checks in to make sure our tasks are being done and offers any support if needed. Our ceremony was mostly candle-lit. Absolutely romantic, but also aboslutely time consuming to light. Courtney practiced at the rehersal so she knew how long it would take to set up, and then break down to transfer the candles to our reception. Also, pro-tip that I learned, light your candles ahead of time so they'll be easier to light! Day-of, she made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. My family and in-laws still talk about how much Courtney and her team made the day flow perfectly. I can't thank Courtney enough for helping us execute the best day ever!

Heather was truly incredible! Her communication, organization, and warmth made the whole planning process so easy and enjoyable. She listened carefully to our vision and brought it to life perfectly. On our wedding day, she handled every detail flawlessly — even making sure a man in a Speedo didn’t wander into our beach ceremony! She also carved out a few quiet moments just for us, which we’ll never forget. We’re so grateful for her and Madi and can’t recommend Lucky Penny Events enough!

Adam Kent Photography

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.

Hiring Adam as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we did our engagement shoot, we knew we were in great hands — but when we saw our wedding photos, we were completely blown away. He captured every moment so perfectly, so effortlessly, and with such an artistic eye that we’ll treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. What truly makes Adam exceptional is that he’s so much more than a photographer. He takes the time to listen to you, understand what matters most, and he shows up with the kind of passion and care that feels rare these days. He made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and blended in so seamlessly on our wedding day — capturing candid, emotional, and stunning shots without ever being intrusive. The fact that Adam is a one-man show is honestly unbelievable. He does it all — and does it flawlessly. His professionalism, attention to detail, and turnaround time were incredible. And on top of all that, his pricing is more than fair for the incredible quality he delivers. We’ve had countless friends and family members rave about our photos and ask who our photographer was — and we’re always so proud to recommend Adam. If you want someone who truly cares about your story and will give you timeless, breathtaking memories, look no further. Adam is the one.

Lynn is an absolute dream come true. From the very first trial to the final touch-up on my wedding day, she made me feel calm, confident, and truly beautiful. Her energy is warm, grounding, and exactly what every bride needs around them on such an emotional day. She’s not only incredibly talented — creating a look that felt both elevated and totally me — but also so thoughtful and professional throughout the entire process. My makeup held up perfectly through happy tears, hours of dancing, and every candid moment in between. I can’t imagine my wedding day without her. Lynn, thank you for making me feel like the best version of myself. I’m forever grateful. I’m so glad I picked her as my bridal makeup and hair artist!!!

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!
