ByCherry Photography

know it is becoming a huge hot spot, rightfully so, it's jaw dropping GORGEOUS) to book with them!!! They know they're way around the courthouse, can recommend all the places to do your ceremony, and can make your Pinterest board come to life!! My pictures were everything I dreamed of and the edits are classic and timeless. For only having an hours time, they were able to capture over 250 of my family, couple shots, and bride/groom portraits and detail shots. The turnaround time was even better as many have to wait months and months to get photos back and mine arrived after a week but was expecting it to be way longer. I couldn't wait to post them and they will look so beautiful around our home. With an elopement, I needed things to be very affordable and ByCherry is in that range and so transparent on their website about their packages. They are both so communicative and responded to all my emails and questions quickly. I am just so happy with my experience and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!!

rvices, up until the day we met in person on our wedding day. We ran late on our wedding day because I forgot my ID back in the hotel for the marriage license. Cherry assured me she would still capture pictures and not drop her camera at the 1hr mark we had hired her for. She knows all the BEST spots to take pictures and also knew exactly how the process worked at the courthouse. She made us feel at ease during the entire time and we had proofs in our email box on the last day of our honeymoon! We are an older couple (mid 50's) and she captured our BEST shots with a large variety of photos. We HIGHLY recommend Cherry for your wedding photography day. She will not disappoint!

u around and taking pictures of you can sometimes be awkward, but Cherry made us feel so comfortable. She got our pictures to us in a timely manner and they are everything I envisioned for us. She did a great job capturing us authentically. I highly recommend working with Cherry. You won't be disappointed!

ble package I could find, starting at between $500 to $600 for one hour at the Santa Barbara courthouse only, with no add-ons. Thank you so much! Very highly recommend.

capture all the love of the day! She knows Santa Barbara and the courthouse extremely well so she knew all the best places and lighting! She makes the whole experience easy and tons of fun! She was wonderful and couldn't be happier! I would highly recommend her for any special occasion :)!!

and a natural planner, which made us feel so much more at ease leading up to the big day. We trusted her completely with the timing and type of photography we wanted—whether it was candid shots, posed portraits, family moments, or guest interactions. We couldn’t recommend her more highly! Thank you so much for capturing such beautiful memories! - Las Palmas

are amazing. She truly is a gem.

& was quick to answer any questions we had. On the day of the wedding she was so professional & knew all the best places to take photos & gave great advice on ways to stand or walk etc. When we got the photos back everyone has commented on how beautiful they are. We are delighted with them. If you have an event don’t think twice about book cherry as your photographer.

ork with and was extremely communicative. It was easy to pick out the best photography package for us directly on her website and we were able to formally book her within just a couple hours! During the months-long wait to our wedding, Cherry checked in and asked some questions and was able to give us in the inside scoop about the Santa Barbara County Courthouse renovations and if it would affect our wedding (luckily it didn't)! She was always super helpful and went above and beyond to keep in touch with us. On event day, she showed up on time and just started getting to work! She was very easy and comfortable to work with. Very unassuming and almost like you didn't notice her there while she was taking candid photos. She was very patient and got through our entire group shot list (it was LONG) without complaint. She even drove us back to our hotel for an outfit change and then to our reception venue. Amazing service! We received our photos within 3 weeks of the wedding and it was so worth being patient for. Her photos were simply beautiful and incredible. We got everything we wanted and more and the variety of candids, posed, etc. were perfect. She sent everything over in an easy to download link and it was nicely organized for us. I would highly recommend hiring Cherry for your wedding day photo needs - she will not disappoint and you will be so thankful you worked with her!

ice. Cherry was so organized from the beginning. She reached out promptly and even accommodated our time change due to other vendors. We got married at the Santa Barbara courthouse and I reached out to Cherry to ask about things not having to do with the photography but the courthouse itself and she didn’t hesitate to help. Fast forward to the day of and it couldn’t have been more perfect to work with her. Immediately I felt comfortable and as if I knew her previously. My fiancé (now husband) expressed the same feelings since he got to meet with her first. During our couples pictures she made it so easy, we’re not a couple that takes many pictures so we had no clue what to do but her calm, positive and encouraging demeanor made us feel so comfortable and made it easy to not feel awkward while taking photographs. Now let’s get to the actual images. First, the turnaround time was so quick, we were both surprised getting our photos so quickly. As soon as we opened them we were both blown away. The photos were beautiful and far exceeded our expectations. Both of our families and friends are still talking about how beautiful they are. So if you’re hesitant at all to book Cherry, we say do it! You won’t regret it!

s excellent. We felt so relaxed at our ceremony and could not be more pleased with our photos. We highly recommend ByCherry Photography!

ined the day of our wedding but Cherry still made sure we got amazing photos! I would 10000% recommend her!

RY question I had with details. She didn’t know I was going to hire her for my special day yet she still treated me as if I had already booked her and that’s honestly the best feeling ever. She was super nice and very informative. Also replied to my emails super fast. She knows Santa Barbara courthouse like the back of her hand. She even gave me recommendations for hair, makeup, and good times to get married for best lighting. She made my husband and I feel comfortable and like we can be ourselves during the time she was taking our pictures. She is the best! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

orting presence throughout our entire experience, making every moment feel effortlessly special. The photographs she captured are treasures we will cherish forever, serving as a beautiful reminder of our special day. Working alongside Cherry was an absolute delight, and we cannot recommend her highly enough to those seeking a truly unforgettable wedding experience.

ns. Shannon was our photographer on the day of our courthouse wedding, and she knew so much about what to do and where to go that we didn't have to worry about anything.

e loved that the team has a lot of experience in Santa Barbara, and Shannon, our photographer, knew the ins and outs of capturing those special moments, and made it so much fun throughout the process - - and those moments absolutely shine in our album! Thank you so much for being part of our special day!

rapher other than Cherry, she’s talented at her work. We’re proud of you Cherry! Stay blessed and awesome

Our photo choices were endless. We had many to chose from it was very difficult to narrow down which ones we wanted to use for our album and for large prints. She was helpful with reminders about the upcoming event and where to park at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. My husband and I felt very comfortable working with her and she was great at coaching us for Photos. We highly recommend using Cherry and look forward to working with her in the future.

rthouse and she answered all my questions promptly. She was very helpful in figuring out our location at the courthouse and day of she jumped in to take photos of my crazy family perfectly. She made me and my husband, avid photograph avoiders, so comfortable taking photos and didn't make us do any poses that we weren't in to. I would definitely work with her again if we go back to SB. We also got the final edits back in exactly one week and they are PERFECT! Couldn't have asked for a better experience and very grateful to her for everything.

to take pictures, and made the whole experience fun, even for my husband who hates taking pictures. We could not recommend Cherry more, she is the best!

many years of experience. Our photos are absolutely beautiful. Cherry's artistic eye and editing abilities are apparent in every single shot. She provided more than just photography services. As my partner and I prepared to visit Santa Barbara for our wedding, Cherry recommended vendors and provided ideas for us as far as venues to hold our celebration. We are very grateful to Cherry for all of the support she gave us as we tried to figure out what to do for our wedding. Weeks before our wedding, Cherry provided a very detailed questionnaire asking for details about the types of shots we wanted and the names of the guests we wanted group photos with. Compared to how photography works in other situations I have been in, Cherry's experience is above all the others. There's simply no comparison. Cherry keeps things moving, helps pose when needed, weaves in and out of the crowd to get the most surprising candid shots. It's just amazing. I was in tears of joy getting our gallery back. Thank you Cherry for these beautiful photos.

k a lot of time with us and paid attention to all the little details. I highly recommend her service!

arty, who to take pictures with, etc, and what inspiration photos we liked so they can be well prepared for the wedding day!

tself. She is so talented yet humble. We absolutely love how the pictures turned out. Highly recommended!!

the best choice. She knows the Santa Barbara Courthouse like the back of her hand. Our Mural Room photos could not be more beautiful. From the very first query, we felt relief. She responded quickly to questions and concerns. Her website is easy to navigate and informative. Cherry was so easy to work with and so accommodating. She even figured out a way to get post ceremony beach photos with our tight schedule. Her personality put us at ease and it shows in the finished photos. Contact ByCherry Photography!

arty and family are STILL talking about how wonderful Cherry was and how talented she is at capturing the perfect shots! She’s warm and always prepared and super quick with the right answer whenever I messaged with a question. I truly believe our wedding day would not have been half as magical if we didn’t have Cherry by our side. This is your sign. Choose Cherry. Every time 💖

-free. Cherry knows all the best spots to shoot on the courthouse grounds, and many staff are familiar with her. I highly recommend Cherry for a low-key wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse!

the day was going to go and stuck to it. She knew exactly where to go to take the pictures and would fix my dress every single time. Everything went smoothly and she made the day so much more enjoyable. I had high expectations for her pictures, and we received them last week (two weeks earlier than expected) and she definitely exceeded all of my expectations!! The pictures are absolutely incredible, and if there was a tiny detail we were not happy with she would quickly edit it out. She really goes above and beyond in making sure everything is perfect. We can't wait to see how the album included in our package turns out!

r photos back quicker than expected and they were wonderful. Cherry was very responsive throughout the entire process and made every step easy. We have so many treasured moments that were beautifully captured thanks to ByCherry Photography.

vely; we're glowing, happy, and so joyful, and she managed to catch us at our best. Her warm personality really made us feel at ease and the photograph session just breezed by. She captured all the important moments so beautifully. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

al day then look no further. Cherry is the ideal wedding vendor. She’s super responsive to emails and manages events through an easy-to-use client portal. She met with my husband and I ahead of the wedding day to review timelines and really put us totally at ease. We started with portraits of the wedding party and family at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Cherry knows the space and where to go for stunning photos. Getting the wedding parties and family where they needed to be was no easy task, but Cherry made it look effortless. Moving on to the main event at the Zoo, Cherry and her assistant got straight to work. She’s done countless weddings at the Zoo so knows what works. She went above and beyond to get great shots. After the wedding she clearly communicated the processing timeline and stuck to it. All of the photos are posted online without watermarks and the site allows high quality downloads. To sum it up, working with Cherry was a five star experience.

ave been happier☺️

mic. Cherry is very kind and understandable with the delays. We are lucky to find Cherry as our photographer! Highly recommended to everyone.

were amazed at the beautiful photos we received. She captured every special moment. We love Cherry photography.

ust as importantly, they are a good resource for understanding the whole process of having a Courthouse wedding at the Courthouse - from finding the correct office for the clerk/recorder to advice on local vendors. We were thrilled to have Cherry's team capture images of our special day.

herry because I was impressed with her work online, but soon after contracting her, she provided tips and recommendations both on her own and also when I had special requests. She knew the ins and outs of the Santa Barbara courthouse process, and even made sure to walk us through all of it both in emails and in person. She has an optimistic and easy to work with style and we couldn’t be happier with her service and end product.

d made a very nerve wrecking day, much less stressful with her warm and fun personality. 10/10 recommend ! :)

s sooooo much! You will not regret it, and i can't wait to print these off and get the albums and be able to hang them up in our home. Thank you Cherry!!!

antly connected making it possible have amazing pictures, having them come to life. She made this process easy and fun. We couldn't have asked for anything more and anyone better. To top it off, she delivered all of them super fast and our desire to see the end-product has been met extremely fast - like lightning fast! We highly recommend her to anyone for any occasion! We definitely keep her in mind for any upcoming special event!! Thanks Cherry for making this special day even more special!!

he was the absolute best person I can imagine having with us on that day. She snapped into gear as soon as she arrived and managed to somehow get all the perfect shots during the ceremony but be completely unobtrusive at the same time. She also served as our witness! After the official stuff was done, she took us around the entire outside of the courthouse and gardens and spent loads of time with us. She had such great direction to help us know what to do and how best to pose, and she was such an enjoyable person to spend time with. She sent us first looks less than a week later and our final selection a little over 2 weeks after the wedding. So quick, and the process of choosing our favorites and getting them to download and share was super easy. We LOVE the photos she took! I recommend her wholeheartedly to everyone!
