About
Hey there check us out!
We are Everafter Captures, and how the name says it we love to capture images that freeze time in special events like proposals, weddings, etc. as they will always give you something to look back on. The best part about our business is we love photographing so we have packages that fit all budgets and we are flexible with people's budget, so contact us about your shoot and we'll find a package that meets your expectation and your budget! Although we focus on events we do all types of portraiture including family photos, couples photos, graduations, maternity, etc. We are a business built by Jehovah Witness' so we choose not to photograph at churches, religious events, birthday party's, birthday themes, holiday themes but we're more than happy to help in any other situation.
A little bit about us:
My name is Daniel, initially I started my photography business by helping out friends with their personal graduation shoots or events and eventually I received enough work to make it a business. About 2 years from when I started I got married and now my wife Vikky has been learning and helping with the business. We love the idea of capturing images, as we remember and see the pictures of when we were kids and how our parents cherish those photos so much as they seem to freeze time and capture memories that last forever and for that reason we love documenting weddings with both photo & video for people to have something to look back to every single anniversary.

Working with Daniel for my proposal and engagementphotos was an amazing experience. Daniel was very responsive when I contacted him and was willing to take photos of the proposal where I wanted to do it at. During the photo session he worked with both my fiance and I with the different shots we wanted and he did nearly all of them with us. He was very professional and all the photos came out great. We even had more photos than I thought we would have. If you want to have your engagement or proposal photos done I highly recommend Daniel!!

Daniel was great! He is very professional and responsive. I was looking for a photographer in the Santa Barbara area for my proposal/engagement pictures and he delivered! He knows how to handle these discreet sessions and our pictures turned out beautifully. He captured our special moment that we will cherish forever.

Daniel was an outstanding photographer for our engagement. He was professional from start to finish, offered excellent advice, and even provided helpful materials that made the whole experience feel seamless and well thought out.
Most importantly, he helped capture one of the most meaningful moments of my life in a way we’ll never forget. I highly recommend working with him.

Daniel was great. When we planned, he provided his professional recommendations on location and step by step process of how the shoot will happen. He communicated promptly with detail throughout the process. The photos turned out amazing. I wish we had more ideas on different poses for the photos in the time we had with Daniel

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is per job so not always per hour rate and I only include 1 hour of editing when it generally takes closer to 2 hours. Also my packages come in different levels for different budgets, meaning that I like to work around my clients budgets. Extra travel has another cost so if we change locations the price can be altered. Also for returning clients there is a $10 discount.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Based on the details provided I will send in a quote and if the customer likes it we talk out the details like date, time, location etc. A contract is sent over, after it is reviewed and sent back I send the invoice showing the deposit and its due date along with the other 2 payments. After the shoot generally 1-3 days (5-7 days for events) of editing time I send the finished album of pictures.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Countless hours of online tutorials & courses on photo style, editing software & hours on actual shoots. I'm fortunate enough to love what I do so for the last 3 years I've shot something practically every other day whether its portraits, weddings, landscape, automobiles, etc. Update on that^ been working on thumbtack and have about 2-3 new shoots every week from engagement parties to weddings to simple portraits so the past year or so for mainly portraits.
