Judy is an awesome presence at a wedding. She is great at posing couples that are uncomfortable with photography, but can make photos look natural and real (mostly by helping our couple be natural and real). She is happy and excited to capture moments, bringing a feminine charm and touch. She has mastered the art of directing family without appearing bitchy. Judy does family photography aside from weddings, so she has a connection with children and is great with posing small groups. She loves loves loves her new baby daughter Remy and adores her two kitty cats.

Gavin is artistic and also technical, but is a big nerd and dork. He is the experimenter and boundary-pusher, the mad wizard and the striving artist. He is an engineer in mind, an artist at heart, and a warm soul in person. He lives for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, target shooting, watching (or making) movies, coding, and doing anything artistic. The consummate professional, Gavin's the reason we've never lost a single image, delivered every wedding on time, and put out every fire that happens when shooting a wedding. He relishes in the small moments of life, enjoys a good scotch or IPA, and loves Judy and Remy more than a thousand breaths could ever whisper.

Judy and Gavin are yin and yang, Bonnie and Clyde, and sometimes Beavis and Butthead. It's seriously 1+1=3. We heavily discount our Judy+Gavin package because we love working together and we love the images we create together. Judy knew she wanted to marry Gavin when he accepted her for everything that she was. Gavin knew he wanted to marry Judy when he trusted her enough to put her name on the business account! Not many people can work, live, play, love, and grow together, so we feel blessed that we have that in our work, home, and hearts.

Couldn't ask for better

We hired Judy and Gavin for a photo and video package for our wedding (which included an engagement photo session), and the service and quality of photos were worth every penny!

My husband and I fell in love with a remote part of Sequoia National Park and wanted our engagement photos done there. There was an extra travel fee but it was very reasonable. Gavin did our engagement shoot and we had a blast. It was quite an adventure between windy dirt roads, bears and other wildlife but we were so impressed at how willing he was to do what it took to make our photos perfect! I have always been awkward in photos, but Gavin gave us just enough direction and kept us laughing and comfortable, and I'm amazed at how well the photos came out!

We got to work with both Judy and Gavin on our wedding day, with Judy taking the lead on the photos. She was very focused and professional, despite some of the wedding party showing up late for pre-ceremony photos due to a miscommunication (on my end) about the schedule. Judy was able to adjust and captured everything we wanted, and the photos came out amazing. Judy and Gavin both have an incredible eye and captured so many of our meaningful moments, and I will treasure these images for years to come. Thank you Judy and Gavin!

Extraordinarily Beautiful, Creative Photography

As mother of the bride, my advice is once you have a wedding date and venue, immediately find your photographer next, since besides the marriage itself, photos are the only other thing from that day that endures. My daughter and her fiancé were impressed with Judy and Gavin’s portfolio, then during their initial consultation fell in love with them as people. We were all stunned by the engagement photos Gavin took in Malibu, the way he captured their personalities and wove them into photographic artistry. Both Judy and Gavin photographed the actual wedding day at Quail Ranch in Simi Valley, and within 24 hours sent more than a dozen “teaser” photos to us that were spectacular. They are so easy and fun to work with and their photos are beautiful and creative. For a sure thing, definitely contact Judy and Gavin and hope that they aren’t already booked for your wedding date!

Judy and Gavin are awesome! We booked them for our July 2016 wedding after initially booking a different photographer for our big day. After we had our engagement session with the different photographer, we realized the quality of the photos and the professionalism of the photographers did not meet our expectations for what we wanted on our big day. Judy and Gavin did photo/video at my brother-in-law's wedding the year before ours. Since my husband and I were in the bridal party at that wedding, we were able to see Judy and Gavin and their team in action on their wedding day. The difference was night and day. Judy and Gavin are super personable and professional and made this aspect of wedding planning very low stress. They were able to redo our engagement session on relative short notice - this was around the time when Judy was about 8 months pregnant and wasn't working extensively in preparation for their baby, yet she still insisted on joining us through UCLA and Downtown LA to make sure everything turned out perfectly (which it did!). At the engagement session we realized how professionals work - efficiently and creatively, while making us feel comfortable. Back then we already knew we made the right choice to switch over. However, on our wedding day they solidified that feeling. Weddings are very stressful but they made sure everything on our wedding day went smoothly. We had a large bridal party of 22 people and my husband and I both have large families, but Judy was able to help plan the day's timeline and most importantly she was very vocal in executing it. They were personable with our wedding party and made sure to direct people as needed. We were able to get all of the footage we wanted and it all turned out great!
