Going into our wedding I knew there was one thing we couldn't "skimp" on: the pictures that would last our lifetimes. We looked at numerous vendors but when Capture Me Studio was ...
recommended by our wedding venue, we knew we had found the perfect fit. Wowed by their portfolio we made the call and never looked back. Initially, we were just in the market for photography but seeing their stunning video work made us realize that we'd regret it if we didn't go with the full package.
From the outset, Alex was easy to work with, helping us put together our package, determine the "shots" we wanted and quickly pivoting and finding a solution when the photographer we had chosen tested positive for Covid days before our wedding.
On our wedding day, Alex and Brandon were on point and extremely helpful at directing us and making sure we didn't forget any of our "must have" shots. On top of that, they were warm and kind, and frankly, fun to be around which set everyone at ease and made for better pictures. I was most impressed with their ability to sneak in and get the shots they needed without ever being in the way or making us feel distracted, allowing us to stay present for our special day.
But let's get to why we're really here, the final result! We absolutely LOVE our wedding pictures and will cherish them forever. The colors are so vivid, the poses so natural, and the framing . . . I mean there are shots in here that could be on a magazine cover! I mentioned earlier, Alex and Brandon's almost uncanny ability to sneak in and out of moments to get the shot they needed, let me tell you they got some of the best candid shots I have seen from any wedding. I'm SO happy we added the video package, it brings the day to life, capturing the small moments that would otherwise be missed and encapsulating the beauty of both the venue and our wedding day. To look through the images and watch the video is to relive one of the most special days of our lives. Thank you Capture Me Studio.
Working with Capture Me Studio was so seamless and stress-free, extremely easy to work with. We knew exactly what to expect. We are from Michigan and got married in Temecula. With ...
having to plan a "destination" wedding, we are so happy we chose this vendor. They made us so comfortable. Our pictures turned out amazingly and our video was everything we wanted and more. They quite literally "captured" all of the greatest moments and we are so appreciative of that! Highly recommend for their professionalism and quality of work.
Very professional, responsive and talented. Excellent execution and video production. Could not recommend them more you truly will not be disappointed
We used Capture Me Studio for our wedding and the pictures came out amazing! The staff was very professional & friendly. We didn’t have a videographer so it was such a relief to se...
e that the photographers captured every part of the wedding, this way we don’t regret not having video. Definitely recommend, just book them :)
The photos turned out pretty good for the most part. The most disappointing thing of this vendor was the communication. Unfortunately I felt I had to reach out to the vendor multip...
le times and the response was always delayed. I did not recieve ANY "sneak peak" photos from my wedding. So I did not get to see pictures until a month later. I filled out a list of must have photos and family portrait list. The photographers did not have this list on them. So it made family portraits extra stressful for me and I believe it showed in my family photos. I wish the photographers took a little more time to ensure people's eyes were open during family portraits as well. Overall the photos were 4/5, but the service was 2.5/5.
Capture Me Studios did such an amazing job capturing our special moments. I love their work! Their photographer was also very professional and accommodating. I highly recommend the...
m and hope to use them again in the future.
Gabe and his team were a huge part of our wedding day on 9/3/22! They were so great, I have nothing but good things to say. Our wedding day in San Diego happened to be the hottest ...
day of the year, and the whole team stayed so positive and helped us get through the day without having our photos/video look like we were a sweaty mess. Gabe initially did our engagement shoot, and we loved those photos. I didn't know it was possible to love our wedding photos and video even more! We got our photos and videos in our hands sooner than we could have hoped. Capture Me Studio photo and video package was also so reasonably priced for the amazing quality! Thank you again to Gabe and his team.
First off, we cannot express just how incredibly thankful we are for all of the planning, support, and work Gabe and Maria did to help our wedding be the perfect, beautiful day tha...
t it was.
Planning a wedding is always stressful, but working with them made what felt like a daunting task, so so smooth. Every small question was answered, every email or text responded to, and on the day of the wedding we felt entirely stress-free thanks to your hard work.
They were incredibly thorough with what photos we would want during our wedding so that not a detail was missed and went above and beyond with the pictures taken, capturing parts of the wedding that we were just too busy to enjoy at the time. Not a family member nor memory was missed!
Gabriel and capture me studios was the best photographer we could have asked for. He made us feel 100 times less awkward taking photos than we usually do. He made taking our weddin...
g and engagement photos super fun and relaxing. For the day of the wedding he was extremely organized. We didn’t have to worry about anything involving photos because he had it down to a science. Him and his assistant were so nice and so easy to work with. The photos themselves are absolutely beautiful! We will definitely use captureme again for any photo needs.
Hiring Capture Me Studio to photograph and film my wedding was one of the best decisions I made.
The day of the wedding, they were punctual, professional, and had the group photos...
done in a timely manner, yet kept it light and fun. Gabe's team is very dedicated to getting the perfect shot. We had one photographer trip in a ditch and one almost fall off a crumbling tree stump! I appreciate that kind of dedication!
The photo quality is amazing. (I've reposted some photos on Instagram @Rebekah.Ackerman). I'm obsessed with how great the highlight video is. It made our wedding look like so much fun! And the docustyle video they did captured everything. I don't feel like I missed a thing. Now, I can relive my wedding as many times as I'd like (minus the sore feet).
I would hire them all over again! And their prices were incredibly reasonable ESPECIALLY considering the quality of the work.
I can't say enough great things about Gabe! We built out a shot list and timeline prior to the wedding day and Gabe made the entire day flow so smoothly and we got everything I wan...
ted. He arrived early with the most positive/calm attitude and excitement for the day. He was extremely details, organized and prepared. He made our time at the mission flow so perfectly so that we weren't wasting any time while organizing all of the different people so everyone knew where to go when. He made what I thought would be the most stressful part of my wedding (first look/family/wedding party photos) so easy. I can't wait to get our photos back in the coming months!
We used Capture Me Studio for both wedding photography and videography. Gabe was great during our first phone meeting and was very helpful with my questions about the packages. We ...
loved our photo/video team! The photographers (Ryan and Alex) and videographers (Arianna and Alex) were awesome, and they took a lot of great shots of the venue, our wedding guests, and our dogs. I really loved the video footage and appreciated seeing all the things I missed during the ceremony and reception. It really is true that the day goes by like a blur! I am so happy with the video because I got to see our guests have so much fun.
Gabe and his team are amazing! All of our guests really loved the whole experience of working with them. Got our photos back really fast and they are beautiful!
Favorite parts of working with Capture Me Studio:
-Photos are beautiful. We’re using them for Christmas cards, giant prints in our home, phone wallpaper, everywhere because we love...
seeing them.
-Price is good
-Photo packages are flexible/customizable. Made it easy to get what we needed and not pay for things we didn't want.
-Photographers were great with our family and arranging all the photos and maintaining the timeline. Gabe and his assistant hustled to get everything done with the little bit of sunlight we had left after our delayed ceremony. And they were friendly, upbeat, and efficient the whole wedding.
Areas for improvement:
-Communication was slow at times, but I really have to give them the benefit of the doubt – it’s been a crazy year for wedding vendors trying to make up for a year of lost work because of COVID. So I can’t fault them too much for this. Gabe was very kind to reach out and apologize for the communication delays I experienced in wedding planning.
Overall, Gabe’s work at my wedding and providing exceptional photos outweigh any communication issues. One of my bridesmaids is even using him for her family photos because she loved working with Gabe so much.
Gabe and everyone with Capture Me Studio is amazing. Not only were the pictures and video everything we dreamed of, but as a bride you spend your majority of the day with your phot...
ographer and Gabe really was the best. Easy going, personable, fun, and always kept us on track. While this was the second wedding he has down for our family and friends, it will not be the last. Could not recommend them enough!

tos were fantastic - he did such a good job capturing every part of the day from the details (dress, invitations, rings) to each and every individal shot with bridal party and family. I love the light and airy editing - was perfect for my personal style. The video was INCREDIBLE! The team captured the most perfect parts of the entire day and the sweetest moments of our vows and speeches. I am so impressed with the work that was put into the whole package and loved that we were able to get both photo and video by one team! Thanks Gabe!!
It took us DAYS to go through all 1,000+ wedding photos and choose which ones we wanted to post because we srsly love them ALL! 😍 Capture Me Studio did such an amazing job at capt...
uring the light, dreamy, fairytale type of vibe that we were going for. Not only did they execute the pictures, but the experience and service they provided was just incredible. Like all weddings, we had a few hiccups, and they were just sooo accommodating, supportive, and just on top of everything. They focused on what WE wanted and how WE were feeling. Words can’t describe how happy we are to have chosen and trusted them with our special day 😭🤍 YALL NEED TO BOOK THEM LIKE YESTERDAY!
Hiring Capture Me Studio to do our wedding photography was the BEST decision we could have made! Picking a great photographer entails so many things and they checked off all of the...
boxes that we didn’t even know we had! They are so well coordinated, professional, yet so friendly and really made us feel special. They had innovative ideas that were unique to our wedding, which we really loved and appreciated. Their professionalism enhanced, throughout every part of the day, which was extremely important to us; I was able to relax and enjoy my day, seeing how much my family & friends enjoyed our time together, and also appreciated how much their team enjoyed shooting for us. They always responded in a timely manner, worked effortlessly and respectfully with our family. Aside from the wonderful experience, the finished product was more than what we could have ever dreamed of. The pictures are stunning and really captured our fairy tale wedding. The highlight video makes us cry every time we watch it and we have had so many of our friends and family compliment us on what a wonderful job they did! There were so many people that asked us who shot our wedding, because they were so impressed and wanted to hire them in the future. Thank you for giving us the gift, of being able to relive our special day, over and over again, through your amazing work!

My older sister used Capture Me Studios for her wedding several years ago. After seeing their work, I knew I wanted to have Gabe and Brit take pictures at my wedding! Securing them...
for our wedding date was simple. Their communication was clear, and rapid which was a great comfort. They are very efficient. I got every pose I wanted and an abundance more. Sometimes getting children to smile in pictures is difficult, but they got terrific pictures of every child (4 children, ages 1-8). We had a night wedding and the lighting in the pictures is MAGNIFICENT. They took amazing, detailed photos that told a sentimental story of my Momma’s wedding dress and my Grandma’s pearls. My mother's dress was redesigned for me and I was given the honor of wearing my Grandma’s pearls. They captured all of that in just one picture! Our bridal party, family, and wedding coordinator spoke (and still are talking) about how amazing the photos AND photographers are!
This was the BEST experience we have ever had with Photographers!!!! We absolutely fell in love with these two! What patience they had as we changed things last minute and with a s...
mile said "Whatever you want" They are so professional and organized. Our daughters picture came back SO fast and beyond what we expected! We will recommend them to everyone!!!! I wish i could give them a 10! Absolutely AMAZING!!!
Forever grateful that we booked Capture Me Studio for our wedding day!! Gabe and his team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish - very communicative, detail-oriented, p...
rofessional, and fun. Gabe made everyone feel comfortable day-of and ensured things ran smoothly, which is super important on such a hectic day. He worked side-by-side with our videographer and captured every moment of our wedding beautifully. We couldn't be happier with how the photos came out! HUGE thanks to Gabe and his team for all of their hard work, we'll cherish the photos for years to come! Highly recommend!

ke I'm always awkward getting my photo taken and bad at posing. But Gabe was so helpful with posing me and making me feel comfortable. He assured me I had nothing to worry about. Our engagement photos came out BEAUTIFUL!!! No awkwardness whatsoever. I love the romantic, light, and airy style of the photos. We cannot recommend him more and really can't wait for the wedding photos next!
Capture Me Studio did a fantastic job with our engagement photos! I fell in love with their whimsical and romantic style and that is exactly what each photo captures. Gabe was fun ...
to work with, made us feel comfortable, and even scoped out the location beforehand to find the perfect locations for our photos. I can't wait for our wedding photos :)
Gabe is absolutely amazing and captured our wedding day perfectly! Throughout the planning process, he was fantastic at communicating and easy to get a hold of if we had questions....
His team was familiar with our venue and knew exactly which shots to get. He is friendly, professional, and made us feel so special on our day making sure we got every picture/pose we wanted. He kept things running smoothly and on time. The quality of the pictures is stunning and we could not be happier with their service! Thank you for pictures we will treasure for the rest of our lives!
They will make your wedding photo dreams come true! Gabe and his crew were efficient, positive-spirited, fun, knowledgeable, and very professional in everything they did. It took a...
load off our shoulders having a photo crew that like this one. I can honestly say we had NO REGRETS in having them take our photos. My wife was overjoyed when we received our photos in a timely manner and when we saw their professionalism come to life in their creations. You will not go wrong choosing Capture Me Studio.

he park we chose for our wedding photos was having a car show but these guys are so professional, our photos don't show any of that! Our engagement photo shoot was at Griffith Park at sunrise in January. Gabe and Brit captured our joy and happiness, not the gusty winds and shivering. With Capture Me Studio, you're not just hiring a photographer for your wedding. You're hiring peace of mind, professionalism, and beautiful memories to cherish.
Hard to believe almost two years ago Capture Me Studio shot our wedding. They were amazing to work with, very creative, and I'd use them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.
Gabe and his assistant Zion went above and beyond to capture our wedding day. They knew how to handle all the chaos that comes with gathering families and friends for photos, right...
after the ceremony, and were able to get through all the photos efficiently so the wedding party could still enjoy the celebration. My husband and I absolutely love every photo that they captured for us and cannot stop looking back at all the beautiful memories.
It’s easy to become overwhelmed with the stress and planning that comes with a wedding so I am so relieved to know we had chosen such professionals to handle a sometimes stressful task.
Gabe and Zion were friendly and professional. Upon meeting them for the first time, I could tell they were experienced and organized.
During the ceremony, I didn't even realize t...
hey were there! Yet they managed to get the perfect shots of our first moments as husband & wife.
They were quick and efficient with family portraits knowing that we had a small window before sunset-- and the pictures are magical.
I am thankful we had this wonderful team to capture one of the best days of my life.
Gabe and Brit are awesome, they took amazing photos to capture our special day and made it tons of fun! They both have such great personalities that made my wedding feel like a cou...
ple friends just taking pictures, definitely took the stress out of being photographed all day. I would highly recommend Gabe and Brit at Capture me Studio for any if you’re photo needs. :)
Gabe and Brit were absolutely perfect on our wedding day, as well as the days leading up to it, in July 2018 at Abbott Manor. We were immediately put at ease with their prompt comm...
unication and in-person friendliness (BONUS: they were great with our dog in both our engagement and wedding day photos!). A year and a half has passed, but my husband and I still fondly look back on our wedding day as the best day of our lives thus far. We are especially grateful for such timeless photo memories. Thank you to both Gabe and Brit for being a huge part of our special day. We are so happy to hear that their business has expanded, as it should!
Gabe and his team were absolutely GREAT! Very prompt, listened to what I wanted as a bride, and was willing to go the extra mile just to get the perfect shots. Their team knew our ...
venue and the sun’s timing, so they knew exactly what shots would work and what would not. Couldn’t have asked for a better guy!
Our pictures were also provided in a fast manor! Usually it takes up to 10 weeks but we didn’t wait that long.
Capture Me Studios was amazing!
The pictures were awesome, but the planning and management during the photos was even better!
They went to the venue early in the morning and plan...
ned out their photo locations and lighting. Also, they took down the names of every single person who would be in our photos (bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents, siblings, grandparents, extended family, etc...), and planned those shots ahead of time as well.
This allowed us to enjoy our wedding day and spend most of the time with guests instead of spending hours getting pictures done. Their planning and organization led to amazing photos and they were awesome to work with!
Capture Me impressed us with their professionalism and preparedness. Everything was clearly communicated leading up to the wedding date. We were given a questionnaire that focused ...
on which specific pictures, groups, and ideas we wanted to include.
Their readiness shone when they asked for a list of names ahead of time so that they can call people by their names. Such a personal touch!
We immensely appreciated how they placed a deadline on when they needed to have a timeline of the wedding day, scouted out the venue before the wedding, and easily kept everyone on schedule that day.
Capture Me put everyone at ease with their easy-going, friendly, and cool nature. They were great at telling people what to do, yet showed tact and manners.
Our pictures came out amazing, and we are grateful and absolutely proud to have these pictures for many years to come!

The editing was gorgeous, so ethereal, soft, and whimsical.’ Just as our venue felt to us. We love the accessibility to our pictures online gallery. The whole process was nice and easy. We really feel that our wedding day was beautifully memorialized in these photos and will be something we cherish for the rest of our lives.

I COMPLETELY recommend Capture Me Studios as engagement and wedding photographers! My wife and I are a tad camera shy; but they made the whole experience a breeze. They have a way ...
about them that makes you feel extremely comfortable, even if you've never been in front of a camera before. They are also amazing at capturing those "in between" moments that are candid and beautiful, and the style of photography is effortless and absolutely stunning.
From a technical point of view, their work stood out from the rest because of how bright and alive the photos were. Skin tones were perfect, lighting was on point, framing and composition was unique.... they really have an eye for this field of work
They are professional, quick to respond, experienced, and fun to work with. If you're wondering whether or not to book them as your photographers, don't hesitate. There is no one better!
Honestly, I hate taking photos. It’s a painful process in my opinion. It always seems to take forever and it’s never an enjoyable experience. But this time was different! The photo...
s really seemed to go by quick and we had a blast working with Gabe and Brit. My wife loved the photos and the way they came out(which is truly the only thing that matters). They were both very professional and created a seemless day for my wife and me. My biggest worry going into the wedding was that we were going to have to stop every five seconds to snap another photo. Quite the opposite happened. Gabe and Brit really just let me and my wife enjoy the day. They had general guidelines for how and when they were going to take shots but were also flexible in allowing us to stray from the plans to do things like mingle with friends and family. Hands down the best photographers I’ve ever worked with!
Our wedding was at Abbott Manor is Temecula, CA (would 10/10 recommend!). We chose this place because of location, it’s beauty, and all of the details that came along with the venu...
e taking a huge stress off of me. One of these was photographers from Capture Me Studio. I loved their gallery and they were highly recommended by our wedding coordinator, but to be quite honest I was a little nervous going for it without meeting them. Boy was I wrong!!! We had the best experience ever with Gabe and Brit!! We communicated back and forth through email as well as face time up until our big day. They were able to answer all of my million questions and I trusted them fully. They even made working with our divorced and blended families the smoothest experience ever. Not only was I amazed with their work, but their complete authenticity and genuineness. My husband was dreading all the pictures, but he actually enjoyed taking them because Gabe & Brit made it fun and natural. On top of all of that I absolutely LOVE our pictures. They perfectly capture each moment in time. I find myself constantly looking at our pictures and remembering such a special day 💕 I can’t wait to print more for our house!!

fore the day of our wedding they were very helpful in getting to know us and what we wanted which was very helpful instead of just the day of with all that goes on. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is wanting to get pictures done . We love them .
