Tracee from Mishay in Santa Barbara did a trial run and day-of updo for my wedding. She listened to what I needed and gave her own twist on things as well. The only drawback is that I spent twice as much because I did have a Sunday wedding. Otherwise, the updo would've cost half the $150 hourly rate. Still, she did come to me and that was a great help I wouldn't have had otherwise. Recommend!

Who knew that clicking on one of those little ads that come up on Facebook would lead to a great affordable photographer? Robert Yee was really friendly, listened to what my husband and I wanted (and didn't want!). He was prompt with his email responses and followed up with me when I was MIA for a couple weeks. Also, he was willing to negotiate and was direct with his rates. I felt like I didn't have to waste any time with any guess work. As I result, I feel like I got really nice photos that we will cherish for a lifetime! Definitely recommend.
