Dan was a joy to work with. He provided a detailed packet that covered items neither I nor the groom thought about. Our DJ Mark was great and brought an upbeat personality to our w...
edding. We had such a good playlist and could t be happier.
AMAZING! We love Dena! We really appreciated how comfortable Dena made us feel - we could be ourselves (and she captured it will in our shoots!). We had a blast at the engagement p...
hotoshoot and were blown away by the pictures she captured - she made us and our moms cry when we shared these amazing pictures! It was nice getting to work with her before the big day so we could be even more comfortable with her.
The wedding photos were unbelievably perfect - she was able to capture the moments we want to hold onto forever. Everyone who could not attend the wedding were applauding the photographer for all that was captured. Dena and her team all work hard and we really appreciate all that they continue to do. Could not be happier with our photographer choice!
I can't begin to express my gratitude toward Dan and Dena. I used crystal clear studios for my wedding photography, dj, and photobooth. From our very first meeting I knew they woul...
d take great care of me. Dena captured my wedding so perfectly, and for that I am forever grateful. Everyone tells you that your day goes by so fast and it truly does. Thanks to her amazing pictures I can relive every moment of our special day time and time again. Just by looking at one photo it brings back all the memories that went by in a blur. Dj Dan was just as amazing. Handled our crazy friends and family's song requests with such ease. The party was perfect thanks to all the dance music. He really did capture the vibe I wanted on the dance floor. I can't recommend them enough! The best dynamic duo EVER!
Dena is hands down amazing! After being in my best friend’s wedding that was photographed by Dena, when I got engaged she was my very first email sent! I knew there was no one else...
I would want to work with.
Dena helped make my wedding day so perfect! All of my guests and family are still talking about how awesome she was, and how comfortable she made everyone in front of the camera. She got every shot I could have ever dreamed of,all while connecting with our guests!
When We got our photos back I was in awe, we loved every single one! They are beautiful, elegant, and perfectly captured our day.
Dena, thank you for letting me keep the memory of our day for the rest of my life, it is the greatest gift!
Hiring Dena to capture parts of my sister's bachelorette weekend was like having an awesome friend who happens to be an incredibly talented photographer. Dena is so professional, r...
esponsive, and good at what she does. Although we were supposed to just have a formal session, Dena took it upon herself to take candid photos as well, which shows that she is as invested in getting the right shots as her clients are. My only wish is that we could have hired Dena for my sister's wedding in Seattle, too.
I speak for everyone in our group when I say the photoshoot was the highlight of our weekend. We had so much fun with Dena, and the pictures came out better than we could've ever imagined. If you're thinking about hiring a photographer for your bachelorette weekend, I say go for it. These memories will last you a lifetime, and Dena is the perfect person to capture these moments.
Dena is absolutely amazing!!! We have used her exceptional skills for literally every important moment in our life, from our engagement to our sons newborn photos. She not only tak...
es stunning photos, she is wonderful at keeping your big day on track. I could not have made our wedding day run smoothly if it had not been for her, she made sure everything was in order with her helpful timeline. We will continue to go to Dena for every wonderful moment in our lives that we think needs to be captured by her beautiful work. She feels like part of our family now. :)
I would highly recommend Crystal Clear Sonoma for your wedding! We hired both Dan and Dena to do our dj, day-of coordinating and photography, and everything was perfect. We had so ...
many compliments after about how smoothly the event went. They were very professional and always ready to adapt to new changes or slight "bumps" in the timeline/event organization. Don't look any further than Crystal Clear Sonoma!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dena and her amazing photography skills!!!! I first met her at the Wedding Expo at the Luther Burbank Center. I loved her style and her friendly personality. She m...
ade us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. I couldn’t be happier with the way our pictures turned out. Since then, we have used Dena to photograph our Pregnancy Announcement, Maternity, Newborn, Baptism, Smash Cake, and Family portraits. She never disappoints with the quality and timeliness of her work! I highly recommend her!!!
Dena traveled to shoot my wedding in Humboldt County. She got amazing shots, and was surprisingly efficient with my unusually large bridal party. She was able to capture so many am...
azing moments, yet she was never "in the way." it was perfect. Also she really cared about what sort of photos I wanted from the day- and she delivered!
We hired Dan and Dena for our photography and DJ services for our wedding. They went above and beyond expectations. From the start the couple was so inviting and flexible with what...
we wanted. Dena is so fun and creative and really captures special moments. She also did our engagement shoot which was nice to get to know her a little better before the wedding. She did a fantastic job. The photographs she took at our wedding are beautiful and timeless. Dan was also fantastic! Our wedding reception was in a barn and by the time we did the announcements and first dance it was still light out which made the mood hard to set but Dan was able to pull it off. He played old time fun songs that fit really well with the crowd we had at our wedding. He had everyone up and dancing. It was so fun!! We were so happy with their services and will go to them for any future needs. A+++
Dena was absolutely AMAZING!! When we sat down for the consultation she got an idea of how my soon to be husband and I are romantically. Not super gushy but also like a fairytale b...
ecause I love Disney. All of the pictures were so natural looking during the wedding, the getting ready and the first look. The posed pictures were amazing; not all over each other and with the bridal party it definitely captured our personalities with some goofy ones we asked for. She also did a boudoir photo shoot with me as a surprise for my husband and I was more than happy with how they turned out and so was he ;) I’ve already recommended Dena to a few of my friends who are getting married and I hope to have her take our future family, pregnancy and baby photos.
Thank you so much Dena!!
Dena was amazing! When I first met her she was so friendly it made it easy to talk to her and let her know exactly what I wanted. She let me create my own wedding package which was...
amazing and was there ALL say which was the best part. She got another photographer that day which was great to make sure not a moment was uncaptured. I loved her work so much that I got her for my maternity photos and my son's cake smash. You will not regret your decision if you book her!! Love! Love! Love!
Phewwww.. Dena was the best choice we could've ever made in our wedding planning process! Her professionalism and experience were quite noticeable from the moment that we met her a...
nd were a much appreciated breath of fresh air from all of the stress that is wedding planning.
She is knowledgeable, punctual and AWESOME! She walked us through the process of her services and often explained everything so well that she left us with no questions to ask. The quality of her work is something out of this world, her images, printing and placement of subjects within her lens makes her photography stand out from the rest.
If you want the best then I suggest you select Dena and her staff to help capture the most important memories of your life!
My husband and I hired Dena as our wedding photographer and we could not have been happier with our choice! From the get go Dena was very communicative, very professional, had a su...
per detailed questionnaire that helped her establish who we are as a couple so she knew the best photos to capture, and she was great with responding to questions quickly. One thing that I found truly incredible about her was that, on the day of the wedding, as I was getting ready, when she arrived she instantly became one of my friends, she was very attentive and sensitive to my needs and giving space when it was needed and finding some amazingly beautiful shots that captured almost every single moment of the morning. I felt so comfortable with her around, she just instantly clicked with everyone. Also, with formal photos after the ceremony she was soooo on top of things, everything went super fast and all the photos she got were great! There is usually at least one person not looking or having their eyes closed in those group photos, not with Dena, all the photos are beautiful!
My husband and I were so impressed with what she was able to capture, not only at the ceremony but all of the candid photos at the reception, we got so many great photos of our guests and special moments during the reception that will be photo memories for us to treasure forever.
Also, one of the best parts! Dena was super fast in editing the photos and getting them sent to us and they were magical! Love her technique, love her enthusiasm and her professionalism, don't even know how she was able to get all the pictures she did because it was like she was in several places at once! Great photographer and definitely recommend using her; she has a great artistic and creative eye and is able to capture very sweet, intimate moments that you are sure to cherish!
For the amount of money spent, this DJ was awesome. Well within my budget and very knowledgeable. Totally listened to all my requests and really kept the pace and knew exactly how ...
to MC a wedding. I was very happy with their services. I spoke with Dan, who was referred to my by a family friend, and Seth was the one who actually DJ'ed.
From the moment I met her Dena felt like family! Neither my husband nor I enjoy having photos taken but Dena made us feel extremely comfortable! The way she works her pricing shows...
just how much she values her clients. She doesn't just give you a time slot of a few hours then disappear she goes by the event! I paid to have her there from gettig ready until leaving the reception! Her prices were better than anyone else I spoke to and because we met her at the Wine Country Bride Wedding Expo at Wells Fargo Center for the Arts we were able to get a flash drive with all of our images on it. Having our photos was honestly the most important thing to us because we have a lot of family and we wanted them all to have access to the photos they wanted. Oh! Did I mention the photographs turned out amazing! I was literally gasping as I flipped through them!Choose Dena if you want reasonably priced, gorgeous photos, taken by a person who feels like a member of your family!
Dena is the absolute picture (no pun intended) of professionalism. She was early to every meeting, was invested in our vision, and helped sharpen the blurred edges where that visio...
n was unclear. She was instrumental in keeping us on task, yet totally unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception while somehow managing to take beautifully intimate photos.
