    Alex is the best

    Alex was our wedding photographer and we found him through Head and Heart. Like most couples, we have no experience with photoshoots before so we were nervous about it. All our fears disappeared on our engagement shoot. Alex is the most patient and wonderful person and he made our shoot so fun that we were so excited for our wedding pictures as well.
    On our wedding day, Alex (who is bilingual) made sure all our families were captured perfectly, he was super professional and patient and took as many pictures as we wanted. He also was really discreet and we never felt like he was in our faces trying to get pictures which made us enjoy our ceremony so very much.
    Thank you so much Alex!

    Couldn't have had a better experience....

    I had the pleasure of working with Braydon on my proposal. To give you a little background, my fiance and I were taking a week long trip along the PCH in California with an eventual stop in Santa Barbara where I had decided to propose. Being from the East Coast, I had no idea what to expect and how to plan a proposal without ever going to Santa Barbara in advance. Just through a few phone calls Braydon helped pick out the perfect location and timing to make sure the photos and proposal worked out perfectly. He put me at ease knowing how confident he was in his recommendations. The photos came out beautifully, he kept himself far enough away to give us our moment and still take great photos, and then ran up right in time to get beautiful photos of the proposal. He was so easygoing and relaxed and made the post-proposal shoot fun. We haven't stopped receiving compliments on our photos. Braydon exceeded my expectations in every way.

    Absolutely Stunning Engagement Photos

    Words cannot express how beautiful the engagement photos that Braydon took for my fiance and I this past weekend in Santa Barbara. My fiance and him coordinated ahead of time over secret email + texts to plan the surprise. Braydon was responsive, attentive and adaptable - being able to find us on the beach from just a photo and general location which changed last minute! He captured the moment perfectly, and without me knowing he was in the background taking beautiful photos. Once he let us soak in the engagement, he appeared from his hiding spot and proceeded to take stunning photos on the beach at sunset for the next 45 minutes. He had the photos back to us via a website link within 2 days. The website has a great interface + simple access on mobile and desktop + easy to download the photos.

    Now to the actual photos - STUNNING! From the lighting, editing and setting to his guiding us into different positions, resulted in multiple perfect shots. There is not one shot in the collection that we did not like. We absolutely loved every single one.

    Thank you Braydon for making our engagement a moment we will never forget, and with photos that will last our lifetime.

    Best photographers!

    Alex, Kiel and Alden were beyond exceptional in the entire process of capturing our wedding. They Alex was polite, professional and extremely helpful the entire day from capturing the bridal party to photography during the ceremony and reception. Alden met the groomsmen as we were getting ready and followed us throughout the evening and captured some amazing video. I cannot express how highly I recommend this amazing company.

    Fantastic- enjoyed working with Kiel!

    Kiel is an absolute pleasure to work with!. He’s professional, relatable, and will listen to your vision and bring it to life with his talent. I couldn’t be happier with the pictures he captured for our wedding and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future as life unfolds. My girlfriends and I have all used him for our weddings and it’s so fun to reconnect with him at events. You will be in good hands and may even end your special day with a new friend for life!.

    Incredible Wedding Photos!

    Working with Kiel was an absolute pleasure and we are so happy with how our wedding photos turned out. Kiel and the second photographer were able to capture so many amazing moments during our wedding in Montecito and we will treasure our photos forever. Kiel was incredibly nice and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He did a wonderful job editing our photos and we could not be happier with the final product!

    Thank you for sharing, Lexi! I had a wonderful time you, Wyatt and your family & friends - and I love the photos we captured as well! Wishing you both all the best.

    Simply a wonderful experience

    Navigating the wedding industry is remarkably difficult when you are planning with just the help of your friends and family. When we found Head & Heart photography we couldn't have been more touched. Kiel and Braydon were so easy to work with, being responsive, thoughtful, and honest. While planning, I continually had an inbox full of long email threads with multiple vendors that all felt insincere and convoluted, but never with Head & Heart. Braydon was professional and never made us or our guest feel uncomfortable (many of our guests went out of there way to tell us how great he was following our wedding). We are very grateful to have found a company that made us feel respected and heard. We love every single photo along with the experience we were able to share with Head & Heart.

    Beyond my expectations!

    Alex did a phenomenal job capturing our beautiful wedding! He used a lot of the natural landscape around us to create beautiful photos!

    He was very helpful with posing and made the entire process a dream! The results were better than I would have ever expected!

    If you are looking for an amazing photographer, look no further than Alex with Head & Heart Photography!

    If you’re looking for talent, variety, and flexibility in your event photography to suit all your needs, stop right HERE and look no further.

    Head & Heart photography captured a farm to table symposium for a group of event professionals that we hosted and they did a phenomenal job in every aspect. We could not have been more thrilled with both the quality of the images as well as the quality of the photographers who captured the event.

    From start to finish of the event both Braydon and Deb were extremely professional and personable. They worked hard to unobtrusively photograph all the gorgeous details, beautiful colors and the ongoing activity of the interactive afternoon.

    They did not miss a single detail or opportunity to capture candid moments among this vivacious group. My favorite moment is when at one point Deb noticed me standing to the back of the room watching the presentation take place, and she gently directed me into some poses to snap some photos of me amongst the setup venue while the event taking place in the background. Literally, she CAPTURED the essence of the event behind me and made it so effortless to get flattering images of me that I will use for my website, promotion and as headshots for years to come.

    The best part? The turnaround of the Images. So quick! We received a handful of teaser images from Braydon within 24 hours, which allowed for us to share the stunning images in the social channels to fellow event pros and attendees while the buzz of the afternoon was still palpable. The photos were stunning, colorful, artistic and captured the afternoon perfectly.

    The icing on the cake is that every single wedding planner and event professional that attended the event were impressed not just with the gorgeous quality of the images, but also with having received them so quickly. That is the highest form of flattery for a photographer. I look forward to partnering with Head & Heart in the near future, and hope you do too!

    Hi Zohe! Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! It was a beautifully planned and executed event, which made our role there much more a pleasure than a "job"! Looking forward to our next event :)

    Santa Barbara in our hearts

    Braydon of Head & Heart was a great addition to our wedding day! His friendly disposition and ability to melt into the wedding party made working with him so much fun! Braydon does appear to be very busy, so if you use him, don’t expect much hand holding before or after your big day. But day-of will be great, and he captured some great shots at the ceremony and dinner! If you’d like Braydon to focus on mostly arranged, portrait type still shots, I’d recommend you make a list beforehand (I didn’t even think of it and found myself arranging people as we were taking photos and it was a little crazy), as well as be cognizant of how people are standing, etc. Braydon definitely shines with the in-the-moment, non-posed shots. Thanks to him, we have beautifully captured memories to enjoy for the rest of our lives!
