As a three-time Maid of Honor, I know what goes into creating an unforgettable bachelorette weekend. I know the timeline, the group chat energy, the outfit changes. These weekends start with a plan, and end with the best memories you didn’t see coming. I’m based in beautiful Santa Barbara, aka the ultimate bachelorette and girls weekend playground with coastal views, wine country afternoons, and effortlessly chic nights out. It’s the kind of place where every moment feels a little elevated, and every celebration deserves to be remembered that way. I love to capture joy, movement, and in-between moments as they naturally unfold. And beyond documenting it all, I’m there to make the experience feel easy and fun - part photographer, part personal hype girl. @bachelorettesofsantabarbaraSee more

I’m so glad I choose Amber to shoot our engagement! She arrived early to the location where the shoot was taking place and even got some photos of our families that were already there. We loved the quality and the amount of photos we got!

Olivia from Studio Bibb went above and beyond for my surprise engagement! I was able to get a quote and brainstorm ideas with her before finalizing the proposal location/set up. She was very respectable, professional, responsive, communicative, affordable, and crucial in making sure everything went well the day of the engagement! Olivia really helped put it all together the day before by scoping out the location, and the day of by showing up early and helping setting up the scene of the proposal. Olivia stayed an extra hour without charging me just to make sure she got all of the photos we needed. Olivia finished editing all of our photos within 3 days!!! Usually it takes weeks or months before getting any photos, but we got them all in 3 days!!! All amazing pictures that really captured the moment. Really couldn’t recommend Olivia and Studio Bibb enough for photographing your most important events/days! Studio Bibb was also the most affordable photographer out of all the other photographers I reached out to! 11 out 10!!! Couldn’t have asked for more!!! Please contract Olivia from Studio Bibb!!!

Teresa did a fantastic job taking photos of our engagement. She was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the process offering advice on how to best capture the actual moment of the proposal. It was reassuring having a professional like Teresa to partner with on the logistics of the engagement - I knew I would be in good hands when the day came/things would go smoothly! After the proposal, she made us feel very comfortable during the photo shoot which allowed for us to really enjoy the moment and also translated into great pictures. She took a ton of pictures from different angles/with different poses. We were thrilled with the final product which she promptly delivered to us. We highly recommend Teresa for any project, she really did an amazing job!

My fiance and I were extremly impressed and happy with the poses and the results of his photos. Highly recommend to use him!

We couldn’t have asked for a better engagement photographer! From the very beginning, he was genuinely excited to help plan the surprise and went above and beyond to make the big reveal unforgettable. He came up with a creative plan to stay completely hidden until the perfect moment, and it worked flawlessly — I had no idea he was there until after I popped the question! The photos turned out absolutely stunning and captured every bit of emotion and surprise from that moment. He has such a great eye for lighting and detail, and he made us feel comfortable and natural the whole time. Beyond the beautiful pictures, his enthusiasm and thoughtfulness made the experience so special. If you’re looking for someone in Santa Barbara who truly cares about making your engagement unique and memorable, I can’t recommend him enough!

Renee was an amazing addition to my engagement. She made the process of finding a photographer incredibly easy and was so kind and great to talk to. She responded very quick which helped me feel appreciated and also arrived on time for the actual day so there was no worries on needed to delay my proposal. When meeting Renee in person she was so kind and happy for me and my fiancé which I greatly appreciated. She took the time to take in the moment photos and also to take some additional photos after the proposal so we can show our family this amazing moment. I 100% recommend Renee to anyone who wants an amazing photographer who will go above and beyond for you and your special moment!!!

Just saw the photos from our special photoshoot and wow, wow, wow! We are absolutely in LOVE with them. We had such a fantastic experience with Tom! Tom was very professional, experienced and knew all the best spots to take photos without us even needing to ask. The photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined for our save the date/engagement shoot. We were no models, but he made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and took beautiful candid shots - intimate, fun, romantic and personal. Best of all, we had so much fun and Tom was entertaining with his great sense of humour. We had an unexpected prop, a passerby's pet cockatoo, which he was kind enough to shoot with and made the experience very special and unique. Overall, we would highly recommend Tom as a photographer for any occassion. We cannot wait to share our special moments with our friends and family! Thanks a bunch, Tom.

Elizabeth provided amazing work and was easy to work with. She played a beautiful part in my surprise engagement to my girlfriend on the beach. She drove out from LA no questions asked and Eve joined us on our sunset cruise to take even more pictures. She went above and beyond the call and we couldn’t be any happier to have her capture such special moments on this glorious day. Looking forward to using her again and her stories were mesmerizing! She has extensive knowledge and knows how to capture the beauty of the moment in photos! We can’t even begin to thank you for your work and dedication to your art craft. Appreciate you wholeheartedly!
