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.

This review is written a little late (We got married in May 2024) but wanted to still acknowledge Dustin Waller and his team. We hired Dustin for our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I had never taken professional photo together and we were both pretty nervous before meeting Dustin. Yet, at our engagement photoshoot Dustin put us right at ease. Dustin was easy to talk to regarding our goal for the engagement shoot. Another positive attribute was his direction when capturing both our engagement and wedding photos. For the wedding photos we wanted more candid shots and capture little details of our wedding so we can relive it for years to come. Lastly, we were able to accomplish all of the photos on our shot list, with time to enjoy the end of happy hour with guests. Dustin and his team truly met our expectations and my husband and I will cherish these photos forever. Thank you again Waller Wedding’s! Pros: Professional Punctual Friendly Listened to our goals Quick return of our sneak peaks after the wedding Timely return of our wedding photos Cons: Little late with returning engagement photos Technical difficulties with logging in for engagement photos

Kiernan Michelle Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,950
  • Serves San Buenaventura (Ventura), CA

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!

Hi y'all! Thanks so much for stopping by my page and considering me for such an important time in your lives! My name is Lauren but I also go by Lu. I am an elopement & wedding photographer located in Ventura County but I am always willing to travel! I have been doing photography for about 3 years now and have just finally taken the plunge to go full time and to say the least it has been the best decision I could have made for my life. I want to say thank you SO much for even considering me & I hope to hear from you soon!

I found Lauren here on Zola, never booking any vendor for anything ever, let alone a photographer for my wedding, and let me tell you, we hit the jackpot. Lauren is incredibly kind, patient, professional, funny, light hearted and is always down to have fun while she shoots! Our engagement photos were everything we wanted and our wedding photos will be even more amazing. She sent us sneak peaks faster than I ever imagined and it made us so excited for our full gallery. You will not regret booking your event with Lauren!! She knows what she is doing!

From making music videos for pop stars, to lighting models on fashion magazine shoots, my career has given me a variety of experiences and growth. My approach to photography is a blend of capturing photojournalistic candid moments and editorial portraits with thoughtful details, and beautiful light. I've always been a bit rebellious, a bit poetic, and I always knew I wanted to be a photographer, creatively telling stories like yours.

She was amazing to work with! She made our visit come to life and look effortless. Her communication was perfect and she answered any and all questions we had. Was extremely helpful in helping us look for a location and giving us direction while taking pictures. We had such a great day and would recommend her to anyone and everyone! The pictures turned out amazing and she got them to us rather quickly, you won’t regret it if you choose her to help with your special day.

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

We can't thank Randall enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully! From our first meeting, he was incredibly helpful and easy to work with, making the entire process enjoyable. In fact, Randall is more than just a photographer. He has a network of professionals within the wedding industry that he's more than happy to connect you to. Whether it's a makeup artist, florist, DJ, and more! His calm demeanor and professionalism put us at ease, helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out stunning, perfectly capturing the emotions and details of our special day. Randall has truly become our family's photographer. He captured our proposal, engagement, and now our wedding, and we look forward to having him document our future milestones. If you're looking for a talented photographer who is also a joy to work with, look no further! Until next time, Randall! E & J

I didn’t even know where to begin! Choosing to work with Vic was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our engagement. Since my partner and I don’t really use social media, we’re not exactly selfie pros—in fact, we’re pretty awkward in front of the camera. That’s why we knew we needed a professional to capture this special moment, and let me tell you, Vic was amazing. As someone who had no clue how to pose, I was so grateful for her expert guidance. She made the entire experience feel effortless, and our photos turned out absolutely stunning—timeless, elegant, and so full of emotion. I never imagined I’d actually enjoy taking photos, but Vic made it such a fun and memorable experience! Beyond her incredible skills behind the camera, she was also a fantastic adviser when it came to choosing locations, and her warm, friendly personality made us feel completely at ease. We loved her so much, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. Writing this review is making me emotional because I’m just so grateful that she was our photographer. Thank you, Vic!!

We also did our engagement session with her before we were married :) We are so thankful she has been someone that can document our lives as we grow!! She is AMAZING to work with and her photos are pure magic. It's really something that we haven't gotten bored from using her through the years, haha.
