Southern California Wedding Photography
The Most AMAZING Wedding Photographer
Garran
Trista was amazing to work with during our wedding this past March and is an extremely creative photographer when it came to our event! She worked with us even though we are one of the most un-photogenic couples on the face of this planet; however, she knew how to make us look good and made us feel comfortable. Even with the rain that day, she did an amazing job capturing precious moments we will cherish forever. We can't wait to book her services for our next special event! She is the BEST!!!

Trista was absolutely fantastic! She is professional and talented, but she was also my 'wing chick' - helping with adjusting the bodice of my dress, letting me know when i had lipstick on my teeth and when we ran behind schedule. She was my photographer, bridesmaid and event coordinator all rolled into one. On top of that, she is just a blast to be around. I think her greatest strengths are her ability to help keep things rolling smoothly at the wedding, and her ability to tell a story with her pictures. She really captured the personalities of everyone she photographed. They say pictures are worth a thousand words - and her pictures describe my wedding in ways that hundreds of thousands of words never could.

Trista was unbelievably wonderful! Having her at our wedding made the occasion more joyous and less stressful. She was extremely helpful over and over again, for example, she always brought me water to make sure I would not be dehydrated and made sure my hair looked fine, etc. Our photos were amazing and beautiful and from all angles and yet her presence was not intrusive. We really believe Trista was born to rock the world of wedding photography! Thank you Trista!

I highly recommend Trista to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the LA area.
She is incredible! We instantly hit it off and she fit right in with our guests. Several people thought she was one of our friends that we'd known for a long time. Trista made us feel comfortable all day. Even my husband who hates having his picture taken had a blast! Her pictures were amazing! The perfect combo of posed and candid. The best!!!

I knew that we would be spending all day with the photographer, so it was important to get someone that we felt comfortable with and got along with. Trista is really sweet, friendly, relaxed, and funny so we enjoyed taking photos with her and I genuinely liked having her around all day. It really felt like she cared about us, our photos, and our day, which really made me feel great.
As for the photos, they are all gorgeous! I feel like she really understood the look and feel we wanted from our vintage, simple, not over-the-top wedding and photos. She captured the moments from the night and the details from the wedding beautifully. I have gotten tons of compliments on her photos and was so happy to receive over 10 disks of photos from her!
On a side note, we got ready at my house and my dogs were running around throughout the day. Trista is a dog lover (another reason she clicked with my (now) husband and me!) and she took some really adorable photos of my dogs in the downtime.

Trista was absolutely AMAZING! We needed a last-minute photographer for our elopement in Santa Barbara and we got so lucky to book her. She was very easy going and helpful with ideas. She also has photographed at the location before so she knew all the beautiful spots! We received a sneak peek at our photos and couldn't wait to see all of them. We will definitely book Trista again for future events...Highly recommended!

Trista was a pleasure to work with and was so flexible. We eloped and planned our wedding in a matter of a few weeks. She was the first person we booked! I discussed a few venues with her and she was so kind as to help me with deciding on which one to go with. We finally decided on the Santa Barbara courthouse. Trista was kind enough to travel on a Thursday to Santa Barbara. Her work and eye for the perfect shot was exceptional. Our wedding pictures are gorgeous! Thank you, Trista for being so accommodating, professional, and fun to work with. If you are looking for a photographer who is an artist, give Trista a call.

Take a look at her website and see her pictures and you will love them. When we interviewed Trista we immediately knew she was the one. She had an incredible personality and you can tell she is very passionate about wedding photography. From the moment we met her she had a vibrant personality and we even saw it during the wedding. She made us smile throughout our wedding day. There was never a dull moment with Trista. She went above and beyond throughout the wedding day by going in bushes just to get the right wedding shot. She even got hurt during the wedding but continued to shoot photos despite her injury. We really appreciated the effort she put into making it a special day for us.

My husband and I planned a VERY private, last minute elopement to California-- so not only was finding an amazing wedding photographer CRUCIAL, it was also something very intimate for us as we were not inviting any guests.
There are a lot of options in LA but Trista brings such a warm presence to her work, all while hustling and working SO hard to make you look good. The day itself went off without a hitch, and she was like an extra pair of hands/the bridesmaid I never had.
We ended up at Disneyland for the remainder of our day-- it was very busy at the park but somehow, when I look at the photos, it's like we're the only two people in them. She knew EXACTLY how to find private little spots for us. I was beyond thrilled with my photos, and with the whole experience.
We also ended up being featured in Offbeat Bride, which I think was half because of her amazing photography skills. :)
I can't recommend Trista enough!! <3 <3 <3
