Excellent from start to finish!

My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Alan from Love Story Photography for our Safari Park wedding! Soon after sending off our inquiry, we heard from Alan right away who scheduled a FaceTime call with us. Little did we know, he had his lovely wife, Heidi, join the call as well. We immediately felt their warmth and love, and were eager to book them as our wedding photographer and ceremony officiant!

We had a great experience working with Alan prior to the wedding, as he was always so kind in answering any logistical and timeline questions we had. Having Alan and Heidi so in tune with each other really helped move the planning process along very well. They are true wedding experts and their guidance was instrumental to us!

The morning of my wedding, I was a ball of nerves, I was late to my first look, and to top it all off, as soon as I got my wedding gown on, my maid of honor discovered there was a huge black spider on it, which freaked me out even more! But, before I even had a chance to lay eyes on the creepy spider, Alan was down on the floor, cupping it in his hands and eliminating it from the room. I think that was the moment I finally began to relax and let it sink in that I was in the best hands possible with Alan.

I can't say enough great things about his talent and tact. He was organized and had many deadlines to meet to follow our timeline, but was still always kind and amicable to everyone who crossed his path. He delivered beautiful photos that had meaning to us, which had exactly the elements we wanted in terms of details, animals, and family and friend shots. I love the vibrancy and timelessness of the photos he produced.

I can't recommend Alan and Heidi enough. You won't regret working with these two awesome and kind people. They are wonderful wedding vendors, and even greater humans!

We worked with Angel for our wedding day and he was absolutely wonderful to work with. Very professional and really fun to be around. He helped make our night go really smooth and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Before becoming a wedding officiant, I was a wedding planner for Simply Perfect Images. Simply Perfect is one of my favorite photography companies in Southern California! If should be, my husband is the owner and one of the photographers! Alan is an internationally award-winning photographer and the photographers that work with him are total professionals, responsible, amazing artists and lots of fun!!! They're so passionate about what they do! Love these people!!! As an officiant, it makes my day when I get to work with them. I always get these phenomenal photos for my portfolio and all of my couples just love their wedding photography!
