Eichar Photography

If you are looking for an incredible photography team who will make you feel super comfortable throughout the process and capture unbelievably beautiful pictures, hire Lauren and Jamie. You will not regret it. We didn't have a traditional Indian wedding because of Covid but we wanted to find a way to still celebrate getting married. We worked with Lauren and Jamie to plan a 2 day adventure in the most stunning locations in the Bay area for our two wedding outfits. We planned this a year out and because we lived in DC, relied on them for advice on locations that would be great, special spots to go in full Indian bridal attire. They were so helpful and knowledgable both about the area and Indian weddings, and planned out the perfect spots for us. We knew from their portfolio we would get some great photos. What we weren't prepared for was literally loving every single photo they took. Going through the gallery every photo we saw became our favorite. Lauren and Jamie are masters at capturing amazing light in their photos. They are incredible at framing you and the backdrop into the perfect image. Their photos are pieces of art - exactly what we wanted. They honored our traditions, photographed the beauty of Indian wedding clothes and jewelry, and captured our joy in their photos. And frankly, they are super fun, lovely, and light hearted people which you really want when taking hundreds of photos! We are so very grateful to them for creating the special wedding feeling we had been missing and capturing beautiful memories we can share with family and friends. Truly, they are an incredible team.

Hiring Lauren and Jamie as our photographer/videographer duo was easily the best decision we made for our wedding. Lauren and Jamie were incredibly responsive, kind, transparent, and communicative throughout the wedding planning process. My now husband and I are very camera shy, and Lauren and Jamie guided us in making sure we were comfortable in front of the camera on our wedding day. When we got the pictures and videos back, we were floored -- Lauren is an expert of capturing all of the candid, emotional, and beautiful moments of the day, and Jamie's videography made us feel like we were in a Hollywood movie! We are so excited to share these incredible memories with our future family through Lauren and Jamie's beautiful work. Thank you Lauren and Jamie!

If you're looking for a photography team to capture your day and your relationship with an elevated point of view and a timeless, beautiful style, from a team that exudes charm, warmth and professionalism, look no further! Jamie and Lauren are all the things you expect of professional photographers with years of experience. They were on time, they helped us create a viable timeline for our wedding day, they coordinated our first look (extra shoutout to Lauren for hiding me from my husband who ended up parking next to us at our first look site!), they shepherded all our family for portraits, they even reminded us to kiss after our cake cutting. They captured all the moments - the posed portraits and the spontaneous candids with our friends and family - in such a beautiful way that only those with a truly experienced eye can do. Truly above and beyond our wildest dreams and expectations both leading up to and on the day of our wedding. (As a side note, our engagement shoot with Lauren was SO much fun, like we were hanging out with a friend. Our engagement photos caused quite the hubbub with our friends and family who all adored them as much as we did!) But so much more than their professionalism and their artistic talent, if you choose the Eichars as your photographers (and/or videographers), you are picking two beautiful people who will make your day so easy. They somehow directed me and my husband, who are both not comfy in front of the lens, without seeming demanding or abrasive. They helped us to enjoy each moment without worry because we knew they had our back. Working with them was such a treasured memory of the whole wedding planning process. Do yourself a favor and work with the Eichars. Ask about their sweet baby and favorite hiking trails. And know that one of the most important aspects of wedding planning - the photography (and/or videography) - is in capable, talented, authentically good hands.

WOW. I don't have enough wonderful words to describe how happy I am that my husband and I chose Lauren & Jamie as our wedding photographers & videographers. They are truly the best! Their entire team's quality of work is amazing. They made us and our friends &family feel so comfortable and at ease the entire day. We are blown away by the memories they captured. Every time we look back at the photos we are taken right back to that day. It's really one of the best feelings to know you can fully trust your photographers to capture all of the special moments so you can just enjoy the day & focus on being present in the moment. Can't express enough how thrilled we are to have chosen them!

Disclaimer: we know the Eichers through Lauren’s sister, who married into my husband‘s family. We are so fortunate that we do know the Eichers through her, because these two are seriously talented and incredibly kind people. Our focus was on family and friends, wide angle distance shots with emphasis on lighting, and directing us for optimal posing. Holy moly, did they deliver! We loved working with them so much and were so glad to spend our big day with them!

If you are reading this, CONGRATS on finding the most amazing photographers! Just go ahead and book them right now. My husband and I are from Texas, but we were planning a destination wedding in Malibu. As many of you are aware or will soon become aware, it is extremely difficult to find vendors that check every box of what you envisioned for your wedding, but having to search in a completely different state is a whole other mission in itself. Quality pictures were our #1 priority because we wanted to look back and relive our special day years from now. Lauren and Jamie absolutely delivered in every aspect. The moment we met them, we instantly fell in love. We had many calls/zooms/emails before the big day to make sure the day went as smoothly and as perfectly as we had hoped. They were 10000% the easiest (and our most favorite) people to work with. We completely trusted them to work their magic, and they did exactly that! They even were completely willing to help out in other areas of the wedding by providing recommendations and suggestions on what they have seen work best through their experience. On the day of the wedding (the first time we were meeting face to face), they were incredibly professional, but it also felt like we had known them our whole entire life. Both of them arrived earlier than planned to scope out the perfect spots for our pictures. Throughout the day, they were organized and kept us on schedule. When we weren’t taking couple and family portraits, they blended into the crowd and you could hardly tell they were there. They listened to everything we wanted, but also found opportunities in the moment to try new spots/poses. Some of my absolute favorite pictures were the ones that were not planned, which shows they have an eye for the perfect shot. We literally hiked up a huge hill at our venue during cocktail hour where they took some of the most breathtaking photos; this is a moment I will remember forever! My husband and I are not people that are used to taking professional pictures so we were kind of nervous about this, but since they were married, they were able to reenact and show us poses, which we found very helpful. BUT they also allowed us to be in the moment and truly take in this day together, which allowed for beautiful candid shots. They also made us feel so comfortable and special, making the pictures that much more perfect. However, it was the moments in between that were our favorites, where we just got to know who they were and talk about life. They are not only INCREDIBLE photographers but some of the most down-to-earth, friendly, inclusive, and welcoming people we have ever met. Truly, they added so much joy to an already magical day. THE PICTURES. We received some pictures a couple days after the wedding and from those we were already blown away. However, when we received the full gallery, we were absolutely STUNNED to say the least. The quality and detail that went into every single picture was truly a work of art. My husband, our family and friends, and I were truly amazed at how they captured every single moment of the day PERFECTLY. They sent soooo many pictures and every single one is flawless. Our only complaint is how we are supposed to choose which ones to hang in our home because they are all perfect. Clearly, I could go on and on about them as photographers and people! Basically, what I am trying to say is you will not regret booking with them. They are worth every penny and MORE!

If I could give more stars, I would. Lauren and Jamie are the absolute BEST and if you want an amazing experience/connection with your photographers AND incredible pictures, you need to book them ASAP. We found Lauren & Jamie on Instagram and when we reached out, they instantly responded and set up a zoom call so we could talk more in person and get to know each other better. They wanted to make sure we had good connections before we officially booked which we appreciated so much. They were easy to talk to and really listened to what we had planned for our wedding and what we wanted in a photographer. They sent over past photo sessions and even sent us pictures they had taken from our venue. Towards the wedding, they sent over an amazingly helpful questionnaire & document that went over pretty much everything you needed to know before your day of. SUPER helpful. We were already so excited for them to take our pictures before we even met them in person. However, we were shocked even more on our wedding day because Jamie & Lauren went ABOVE & BEYOND. They were quick, got the perfect shots, and made sure to follow our shot list so they got all the shots we wanted. We got to see a little sneak peek at the wedding of some of their shots and those alone without any edits were so perfect. They even sent us a handful of shots, edited not long after the wedding day and they were breathtaking. Lauren & Jamie are truly kind, genuine people and we felt so blessed to not only meet them but to have the wedding shot by them. They have a true talent and have the perfect eye for capturing the beautiful moments. They will come into your life and become friends who you feel like you’ve known forever. We would use them for every event in the future and highly recommend them. So happy we found them. Our favorite vendors of the wedding!

Lauren and Jamie are the best! We loved their work at our friend's wedding a few years prior and knew we had to work with them. Every photo was stunning and effortlessly captured our wedding. They are incredibly fun to be around and made us feel very at ease (we typically do not enjoy getting our photos taken)! The whole process, from initial phone call, to receiving our photos and video, was so easy and well communicated. Highly recommend!

We hired Eichar photography for our engagement photos and are so glad we did - Lauren was incredibly helpful and responsive during the planning process, and then made the session so fun and enjoyable for us! We felt really at ease the entire time, and that is reflected in our photos. Lauren has an incredible eye and really captured our relationship in our photos. We can't stop looking at our photos and are so grateful for Lauren's beautiful work!

Lauren and Jamie are truly incredible people in addition to being incredible photographers. Thank you for capturing our wedding and especially all of the little details we had forgotten or missed - It truly felt like we were reliving the wedding as we scrolled through. The two of them are simply phenomenal with the camera and our parents are in love with the photos as well. We were so fortunate to have them be our photographers for both our engagement shoot as well as our wedding day, and even to this day really appreciate and remember Lauren's calm grace and easy-going nature on the big day. They are flexible, calming, grounded, professional, friendly, and everything you could ask for in a photographer. They were great at making us feel comfortable and captured both amazing posed portraits as well as candids. Would highly recommend them for any and all of your photo needs.

Do your future self a favor and hire the Eichar’s. Not only are they the sweetest people, they take incredible photos and video. We hired them for our engagement shoot and both weddings (covid bride) and love every photo and video they took. They will make you feel comfortable in front of their cameras and you’ll be sad when they leave that night. They’re the best.

Lauren and Jamie were the best decision we made for our wedding, hands down. They were amazing to work with throughout the wedding process, from planning to the actual wedding day. They were flexible and down to earth. Most importantly, our photos turned out AMAZING! Jamie and Lauren are both so talented, particularly for outdoor photos as they're great at capturing the lighting. Book them and don't look back!!

My fiance and I loved working with Jaime for our engagement photo shoot! Jaimie was incredibly patient and even took the time to extend our shoot to find a better spot with more sunlight. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and loved all of the edited photos.

We used Lauren for our engagement photoshoot in San Francisco after a recommendation from two co-workers who used her for their weddings. She was such a delight to work with and we are so happy we chose her. As two people who are not naturally good at posing for photos, she did such a good job of making is comfortable and naturally smiling. She helped guide us on what were the best outfits to wear for the scenery we choose, she got the exact shots we were looking for and found some new ones! Thank you so much Lauren. Highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Lauren and Jamie are awesome! We had an engagement session and our wedding photographed by them. We didn’t know what to expect nor how to pose for photos, but they were able to guide us and take incredible photos. Our family and friends loved the results as well. We were very happy with their style and it helps us really relive our special day. Lauren and Jamie also took great candid photos that helped us see a different side of the wedding we didn’t get to see that day. Very happy with working with Eichar Photography!

Lauren and Jaime were recommended to us by a friend who had seen their work online and we could not be happier to have them take our engagement photos! Both of them were professional, but more importantly, so kind and easy to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure we had photos in all the locations we wanted and had a lot of experience in knowing where the best spots for photos were!

In a covid wedding world, Lauren and Jamie showed up for us. From the start, they were eager to get to know us, understand our vision, and do everything they could (above and beyond) to help it come to life. We put together a ceremony on a cliff, sight unseen, but Lauren and Jamie scouted locations for us, talked us through logistics, and were exactly the people we needed with us to make this day happen. They are creative and adventurous, detail-oriented and responsive. Looking back, they were the piece that held everything together from planning to watching it all unfold in front of us. They were discreet during our intimate ceremony and we were able to just be ourselves and enjoy the day. They captured incredible moments and classic portraits that we will cherish forever. Our guests still talk about Lauren hopping on Jamie's shoulders to get an epic group shot on the cliffside. It is more than just earning a paycheck for these two, they are genuinely kind and talented people that you want with you on such a memorable day. Our absolute best decision was hiring Eichar Photography!

When we got engaged, we were looking for someone who shared our love for outdoors and nature to photograph our engagement shoot. Finding someone who also shared our love for French fries and ranking them by restaurant accordingly was just a massive bonus. This is THE couple who will make you feel like you know exactly what to do with your hands in every photo. Better yet, they’ll make it seem like you’re just having fun doing what you love to do and you somehow made it out with incredible pictures to document the entire thing. I cannot believe that we were lucky enough to come across Lauren and Jamie…but we will forever cherish the photos that they took and the enneagram and life advice we were given along the way. Lauren is up for anything, and so fun to work with. The most agile person while holding an expensive camera I’ve ever seen. We will forever be sending all of our loved ones their way. And we can’t wait to work with them again, however that may look like through our life’s milestones!

The Eichars were our favorite vendors (which is saying a lot because all of ours were fantastic!) Jamie & Lauren are so warm and make you feel incredibly comfortable from the get go. We first met them when they were shooting our friend's wedding in 2017. They make taking pictures enjoyable and not awkward in the slightest. When we had to pivot our wedding in the midst of COVID, they did not hesitate to accommodate our new plans. Our pictures turned out INCREDIBLE and we are so happy with the entire experience. They are now shooting our friends' upcoming wedding and we would refer them to anyone!

There aren't enough great things to say about the Eichar's that haven't already been said!! We first inquired about an engagement shoot, and Lauren was super responsive with info and location suggestions. On the day of the shoot, she made us feel super comfortable since it was the first shoot my fiance and i had ever done. They sent us photos a few weeks later, and once we saw those, we knew we had to book them for the wedding as well. We opted for their photo and video package and are super happy with how everything turned out! Would definitely book again for futures photoshoots!

I reached out to Lauren & Jamie for our engagement photos almost two years ago. Lauren was incredibly responsive and upbeat, and belayed our fears of being in front of the camera. My fiancé and I had the most comfortable & joyful photo session, and Lauren's unique eye captured the essence of our relationship, and for that we are so grateful! Not only do Lauren & Jamie have impeccable artistry behind their photos, but they are also kind individuals. Later when we were planning our wedding, we ran into many hurdles due to COVID and multiple postponements, but Lauren & Jamie continued to be the most supportive, transparent, and committed partners in working through the quagmire of a COVID wedding. We couldn't recommend them highly enough! What are you waiting for!

Hiring Lauren & Jamie was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning experience. Their actual review is listed below but all you need to know is: BOOK THEM NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. Now, for their review... We booked them in 2019 and fell in love with their work after our engagement shoot. We were nervous to be in front of the camera at first, but they made us feel confident throughout the experience. More importantly- we had SO MUCH FUN at our first shoot and were blown away with the gallery they created. Fast forward to 2020 when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19. The first thing Lauren told me when I shared the news was: "Don't worry, we will make this work. How are you doing, are YOU okay?". This encompasses how Jamie and Lauren approach their work. They care for their clients in a way that goes above and beyond what you would expect from your photographers. We later asked them to take photos (and video!) for our 2020 elopement ceremony. Jamie even found the location of where to shoot, taking on even more responsibility off my shoulders during the stress of planning. I've since watched the video they created more times than I can count and still haven't successfully watched it without tearing up... The Eichars finally got to shoot our 2021 wedding and by no surprise, they knocked it out of the park. They are able to capture moments you will cherish forever, but do so without taking you away from being present on your big day. Being confident in your photographer allows you to enjoy your wedding day without any worries. Lastly, they are quick- they provide preview photos as a sneak peak and deliver their galleries promptly without taking away from their quality of work. We love you, Eichar Photography! Thank you for everything.

Lauren & Jamie were not originally available for our first try at having our wedding, but lucky for us t hey were for our rescheduled date and we are SO thankful and happy we got to work with them. The amazing photos they took made us actually super grateful that we had to reschedule our wedding or else we wouldn't have had these beautiful photos they took to cherish forever. They made us feel so comfortable being in front of the camera and really are such funny and warm people. The photos they sent us captured everything we wanted to remember from our wedding and more. We will be forever grateful to Lauren & Jamie for being such amazing photographers/people to work with and all their beautiful hard work. Cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for wedding photographers!

Lauren and Jamie were absolutely amazing to work with. My husband and I found them on Instagram all the way from TX and our first virtual interaction was so amazing - they gave us all the confidence in the world to chase our dream of eloping. Lauren took the most incredible photos during Sam and I's elopement and was the best hype man (it was just the three of us all day!). I cannot recommend Eichar Photography enough. We will treasure our photos forever and they are the best people to trust with your special day. We love the Eichars!!!

I owe them my first born child- they’re incredible.

Eichar Photography is the ABSOLUTE BEST. Jamie and Lauren are both masters of their craft—as a couple and as individuals—who constantly push themselves in their creativity, skillset, and technical knowledge to ensure you’ll receive the highest-quality images possible. Rest assured that, from start to finish, Eichar Photography will capture your unforgettable day and special moments beautifully. They’ll leave you with amazing pictures that will last a lifetime and impress everyone you know. And the best part is, you’ll get to work with two of the most genuine, kind, wonderful, professional people you’ll ever meet.

Not only are Jamie and Lauren phenomenal photographers, but they're also the most genuine, warm, thoughtful, and dedicated people. They simply thought of everything and captured it all, from the tiniest details to the candid in-between moments throughout the day. We also loved the way Jamie and Lauren helped create moments for us to step away, be present, and soak it all in. It was amazing to spend the day with two people who care so deeply and made us feel so special. We can't wait to continue the tradition of having the Eichars photograph milestones for our family in the years ahead--there's simply no better team out there. <3

Lauren did out engagement photos in San Francisco this past week and we haven't gotten them back yet, but I was so eager to write a review because she was so AWESOME! I immediately felt like we have been friends for years and she made us feel so comfortable even though we have never posed for pictures like this before. She gave us great direction but it also felt so natural. She was so generous on her time and was so much more concerned with making us happy and getting all the shots we wanted. Had we not already booked our wedding photographer, I would have booked with her in a heartbeat because she will make your photo dreams come true! I am so excited to get our photos back and highly recommend booking with Lauren!

There are numerous 5 star positives that we could list for Lauren and Jamie. If you had a week to read, we could list them all but we will narrow it down to our top favorites that were important to us as well as would be to anyone inquiring about their services :) To begin, my wife found their social media on Instagram and instantly fell in love with their portfolio. The style, techniques, and perspectives they used in their photos were amazing! Next, they're very punctual, calm, and warming when they communicate via texts and emails. We discussed and scheduled our photography needs via email and it was seamlessly easy to setup the date, place, and concepts. When working with Lauren and Jamie in person, you can feel they exude positivity, eagerness, and joy. Joy being around each other, joy working with you, and joy in what they do. They're also very flexible in requests. For our city hall wedding, we didn't know what we wanted for pictures. We pretty much asked Lauren and Jamie to tell us where and how to pose. They captured some amazing shots! We also asked them to stay longer for more pics and they did! They were so great that we hired them again for our banquet that was months later. Again, they moved fluidly around the banquet hall and got amazing shots all night! Once again we had to ask them to extend as the party ran long and they did! It was so helpful to have them there the entire banquet. You can't go wrong with Lauren and Jamie. They'll put as much dedication and passion into your event as you will planning it :D

We did our engagement shoot with Lauren on Mt. Tam during a magical golden hour. It felt like hanging out with an old friend more than it did having an engagement shoot, which I expected to be slightly awkward. She made us feel instantly comfortable, had great ideas for shots/poses, and the photos came out UNBELIEVABLE and we received them much faster than I anticipated. My only regret is not having Lauren and Jamie fly out for our wedding in Chicago this coming fall--after working with them I think it would have been worth the extra $$ since you spend so much of your day with your photographers. They are the real deal in terms of the quality of photography you get, the laid back but professional atmosphere of the shoots, and just all around nice, fun-loving people. I could not recommend them more!

Wow, where to even start with these guys! You know when you first meet someone and you start going through scenarios in your head about your future together….THAT was Jamie and Lauren! We first met Lauren when we scheduled a last minute engagement shoot while visiting SF in July to plan out our destination wedding. She graciously worked us in for a 5:30am sunrise session. The fog that morning was so heavy and put a kink in the Golden Gate Bridge photos we had originally planned, but Lauren was ready with a backup. She asked if we were down to be adventurous and hike for our photos...HECK YES! The photos that she captured were absolutely incredible and truly a work of art. I knew then and there that we had to book her for our big day in February...I even moved money around in my budget just to get the chance to work with her again! Our wedding day photos were nothing short of amazing. I had the wedding I always dreamed of, along with pictures to capture every single sweet moment. No one else could have told our story the way that they did. They were kind and supportive during our intimate first look session, wonderfully incharge during our group photos, and fun and interactive at the reception. What more could you possibly want!? They captured every moment perfectly! We live in Texas, so planning a wedding from a few states away is no easy feat. With their easy-going personalities and constant communication, Lauren and Jamie made the whole process stress-free. We talked on the phone about our ideas and the kind of images we wanted to capture, and they helped us work through our strict wedding day timeline to fit everything in. Jamie and Lauren - we can’t thank you enough for helping make our wedding the best day of our lives (so far)! You guys are so much more than just wedding photographers. We are officially adopting you both as family!! We love you!

Choosing Lauren and Jamie as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made surrounding our wedding day. We were already in love with the photos they take, but after a brief video call, we also fell in love with their positivity, their friendliness, and their approach to their work. Throughout the whole process of planning our wedding, they made everything feel so easy. They answered all of our questions promptly and professionally and lent us their expertise for writing timelines and working out logistics. On the day of our wedding, they helped us to balance out our time so that we could get the photos we wanted, but also get to enjoy the party we had planned. Lauren and Jamie's ability to make people feel comfortable really comes across in their work. We both were made to feel so at ease, despite our general discomfort in front of the camera, and our photos reflect how happy we truly were that day. Jamie even managed to coax a smile out of our very grumpy nephew for family photos! Beyond this, they managed to capture all of the little moments that made our wedding day feel so special--our parents belly laughing at the best man's speech, all our small glances exchanged at the altar, my husband's face when he first saw the arcade games I surprised him with. We will forever treasure all of the precious memories they captured for us on film and we will forever be shouting our recommendation of them from the rooftops!

My husband and I made the right choice hiring Jamie and Lauren! I was very picky when looking for a photographer for our secret SF City Hall wedding and engagement photos and their portfolio definitely matched the style and feel that I was going for. Our pictures turned out amazing and they were both so genuinely sweet and easy-going, it made my husband and I feel less like the awkward, silly people we really are. They caught all angles and the secret little glances we gave each other throughout the two short hours we hired them for--I was so pleasantly surprised to have seen the amount of variety in pictures they were able to capture in that time span! They were also very accommodating to our budget. I had emailed Lauren prior to meeting them on the big day that I wanted to be able to take pictures at two locations (SF City Hall and the Golden Gate Bridge) and they were able to plan it so that we got to do both within the two hours. I am very happy to have been able to work with them and so so grateful for these pictures that my husband and I can look back to as our own secret day.

If just looking at Lauren and Jaime’s photos doesn’t seal the deal for you enough, I hope this review will. They were bar none one of the best choices we made “vendor-wise” for our wedding. I put “vendor” in quotes because they became our friends along the way. Lauren shot our engagement photos as well, and it was really an opportunity for BOTH parties to see if this was going to be the right fit. I emphasize both, because Lauren and Jaime want to be sure you are the right fit for them, in the same way you want to be sure they are the right fit for you. Their ultimate goal is that you walk away with a product you love, and to them that may mean it’s not with them. Which is something that is so unique about the wedding planning and vendor selecting process. Most are just eager to get your money regardless of whether you are happy, but not Lauren and Jaime. We knew from the beginning we wanted them to shoot both, but our engagement photos only confirmed that choice. Lauren and Jaime shot our wedding in Malibu almost a year later and it was a flawless experience. Not only did they travel for our wedding, but the location was not one they had shot before. But they took the time to prepare and study the venue prior to arriving and then the day of before they were “on the clock” so to say. They were completely prepared to capture every angle we asked for, while not even being noticed by our guests (multiple guests commented that they didn’t even notice them taking photos) and also took control and took action to ensure there were no visual obstructions while still being polite to our friends and family. My husband hates photos and had been dreading the whole process but he was at ease and now sells Lauren and Jaime and agrees it was one if the most worthwhile expenses of the wedding. Jaime offers a real confidence, control and sense of calm to what can be a chaotic experience and Lauren brings the creativity, energy and playfulness you need and want from the experience. Each of their strengths work together to produce a beautiful finished product. Their photos evoke laughter, reveal true emotion and capture the small in between moments that at the time feel inconsequential, but in actuality are the photos that tell the story of your day. Additionally, all of this (and more) was captured by Lauren and Jaime in the most efficient way. I had just been a part of a wedding where photos took hours, and where the photographers really lost control of the situation and so we really wanted to ensure we got to spend as much time with our guests as possible and didn’t get distracted or unorganized We also wanted our families and wedding party to enjoy themselves instead of being wrapped up in photos. The Eichar’s were efficient and quick; they remained in control and while still entertaining some of our whimsy (and theirs :)) kept within a tight photo timeline so that we could enjoy our party.

Honestly Jamie and Lauren’s photos speak for themselves, but they also could not be better people or more easy to work with. They are incredibly professional and have a total system, complete with a pre-wedding questionnaire, dialed in to make the day run as smoothly as possible. We recently received their final, edited photos and could not have been happier (we’ve already gone through them multiple times)! They do an incredible job capturing all the shots you want and providing you with an absolutely astounding number of edited shots. Most importantly, they do it all while making you feel like you have a friend by your side throughout what is a very long (albeit wonderful) day. Thank you both so much!

Many people told us that the most important vendor you choose for your wedding is the photographer. Jamie and Lauren are both amazing photographers and people, so the choice to book them was an easy one. We had calls with several other photographers, but when we finished our first call with Jamie and Lauren we knew they were our top choice, mostly because they exuded the fun, low-stress, positive vibe we wanted around us on our wedding day. After booking with Jamie and Lauren the rest of the process was very simple. They sent a questionnaire a few weeks before the wedding asking about what style we wanted, and what specific shots we needed. We compiled a shot list and shared our wedding timeline. Overall the prep was simple, and Jamie and Lauren showed up prepared and ready for the day. Jamie and Lauren fit in to our wedding crowd like the were guests and we never felt like they were out of place as the photographed. In fact, looking at some of the final photos we remarked that we were surprised that they captured a shot because we didn’t even notice them being around at that moment! They made us feel comfortable while we were taking portraits and we had fun exploring the redwoods at our venue with them. We loved how excited they were to take cool shots and really embrace the beautiful setting we were in. And then there are the photos themselves… The whole album is a comprehensive capture of our entire wedding. They didn’t miss a thing. From getting ready, to the very end of the night we have great photos of everything. Our portraits are amazing, and the way they captured both us and the redwood forest we were in is astoundingly beautiful. We have both artistic and dramatic photos, and great classic portraits that our parents can’t wait to frame. We are so happy with our wedding photos and the experience of working with Jamie and Lauren. We highly recommend Eichar Photography for anyone looking for amazing photos and great people to take them.

Lauren and Jamie are the best. I don't even know where to begin. They're amazing. They captured our engagement and wedding photos beautifully. As an added bonus, they are so so easy to work with. Truly a wonderful experience. If you are looking for a dream photographer duo, look no further. You'll be in good hands.

We were blown away by Lauren and Jaime! Their work is excellent and they captured our day and guests so perfectly — so many precious moments that we will be grateful for our whole lives. Additionally, their turn-around to get photos to us was very fast; perhaps not typical, but we appreciated it. We could not recommend them enough!! Lauren and Jamie will make an amazing team on your wedding day. After our wedding, we could not stop commenting to each other how they both made us feel so comfortable and happy throughout the day. We could feel their love and joy as they worked together as partners and that good energy made us feel more at ease in front of the camera (and my husband hates the attention of cameras!). They did a fantastic job at finding the right moments for us to have special photos together, yet not distract from the celebrations. Aside from the first-look photos, we also did sunset photos post-ceremony and it was the PERFECT time to be alone together and have some quiet time nestling each other to capture the beautiful lighting and our glowing love! We were not expecting to do the sunset photos, but we cherished this time together so much. We will recommend them to all our friends and family for future weddings and hope we get to work with them again for family portraits as our family grows!

Lauren & Jamie were absolutely amazing to have as our photographers for our wedding weekend photos and engagement photos. We had seen Eichar Photography's photos for several years before we had even gotten engaged, and had hoped to have them as our photographers for a long time. They completely exceeded our already high expectations. Eichar Photography went above and beyond in every way. For example, Lauren & Jamie (i) hiked to the top of a mountain with us to get the best engagement shots possible, (ii) took the initiative to pick up stylish umbrellas for us as soon as they found out our wedding day would be rainy, and (iii) fearlessly ventured out onto an ocean pier with us in the wind and horizontal-pouring rain on our wedding day to truly capture the moments. Lauren & Jamie's warmth, conscientiousness and reliability during our engagement shoot one year prior had instilled in us the confidence to completely trust their judgment on our wedding weekend. We asked them to drive dozens of miles to a remote lakeside location where we had wedding festivities with family and friends the day before the wedding; Lauren & Jamie captured that lakeside day beautifully and accurately. Lauren & Jamie were not phased by anything even though the rain on our wedding day changed a lot of logistics, and not only did they sacrifice their personal comfort by getting soaked in the rain to get the best shots, they also made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Because Eichar Photography is a two-person team, they had the ability to capture not only photos of us and our wedding party on our wedding day, but also tender moments, such as the facial expressions of our family members and friends during the speeches, which have been increasingly heartwarming to look at as the time has passed since our wedding day. We still get compliments on our engagement and wedding photos (and it has been two years since our wedding)! Investing in Eichar Photography as your photographers is a decision you will not regret!

Lauren and Jamie did an insanely amazing job photographing our wedding! I seriously cannot stop looking at our photos, and our friends and family have all commented on how well they came out. We Lauren and Jamie because their photos are unique, intimate-feeling, and just across-the-board beautiful, and they did not disappoint! They were easy to work with throughout the process, and were happy to advise us on day-of timing and planning for pre-ceremony photos. You could tell they put thought and effort into scoping out locations and setting up shots. They made us feel comfortable during couples photos -- setting up poses and giving direction in a way that felt natural. They got my 4 little nephews to look at the camera (!), and set up my mother-in-law so her hair looked good (it was a windy day). During the reception multiple guests commented on how great the photographers were and what a "nice presence" they had. PLUS of course the photos themselves looked so good! AND they got them back to us just one month after our wedding! I have never seen so many great candids and dancing photos -- they really captured the day perfectly. One bajillion stars. :)

All these 5 start reviews are legit. Lauren and Jamie were professional, fun to work with, and are extremely talented. We couldn't be happier with our photos. I would choose them over and over again to capture our wedding day.

5 stars isn't near enough for Lauren and Jamie's AH-MAZING work. If you are looking for engagement/wedding photographers, look no further. My fiance' and I heard about Eichar Photography through a photographer friend of ours and as soon as I reached out to them for our engagement photo shoot I just knew they were awesome. We are actually from Florida and were going to be in the Bay Area for a vacation and ended up taking our engagement photos in the most amazing spot Lauren knew about in Carmel. We immediately hit it off, so much so that I wanted to hire them as our wedding photographers. She took some of the most INCREDIBLE photos and turned them around in a matter of days which I wasn't expecting. Again...book them now and I promise you won't be disappointed!

All of these 5 star reviews are right on. Jamie and Lauren were stellar -- on-time, professional and really fun to work with. They had a good balance of leading us while also letting us set some of the agenda. And the photos turned out brilliantly!

We're SO glad we went with Jamie and Lauren for our wedding photographers!! They were kind, professional, responsive and made us (two people who are not comfortable in front of the camera) feel relaxed and comfortable. They were able to capture all of the special moments from our wedding day, both big and small, and we're very grateful to have such beautiful photos with which to reminisce for the rest of our lives! (Plus our parents won't stop talking about how great the photos are, so that feels like a real win). Thank you so much, Lauren and Jamie!!

Lauren and Jamie were one of the absolute highlights of our wedding day. Not only were they amazing to work with, flexible, and so good at making us relax and even laugh, but they took the most incredible photos! We are constantly getting compliments on our photos, and recommend them every chance we get. We will treasure our memories through our beautiful photos, and can't thank Jamie and Lauren enough for being a part of our big day.

If you are contemplating on booking Lauren and Jamie, I would say look no further and just do it! Lauren and Jamie were an absolute pleasure to work with and our photos turned out AMAZING! I instantly fell in love with their work when we came across them on The Knot. While looking at dozens of photographers online and even meeting with some in person, I had never felt that way about anyone's work. They were probably the single best vendor we booked at our wedding. From the initial video chat, engagement photos with Lauren, and spending 8 hours with them on the big day, they were a breeze to work with and made it really comfortable and actually calming! They're such kind and good people, you can really feel it. As people who are not in front of the camera that often, we thought we would be so awkward and uncomfortable. But the way Lauren and Jamie direct you makes it so natural and fun! Their work is incredible for their price point. I love photography and enjoy it as a hobby. I think their photos truly are art. They evoke how you and the people you love are feeling throughout the day. We hope we can work with them again in the near future!

Jamie and Lauren are absolutely THE BEST. They are not only incredibly talented photographers but also are amazing people. They are so kind, thoughtful, caring, and exactly the type of people you want around you on your wedding day. They went out of their way to coordinate last minute requests and changes in plans due to weather and made me feel completely at ease all day as it was clear they really knew what they were doing. We had so much fun shooting with them on our wedding day and for our engagement shoot, and could not have asked for better photographers. The photos we got from our day were absolutely stunning and perfectly captured every moment. We will cherish our wedding photos forever and are so glad that we hired the Eichars. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for photographers. You will be so happy you chose them.

I agree with another review- if I could give Jamie & Lauren a 10+ I would! They are professional, organized, thoughtful, listen to what the bride and groom want, and as the MOTB and the FOB, we couldn't be more pleased with the extraordinary photos. So, 'grazie molto', 'merci beaucoup', 'muchas gracias'! Your artistic eyes, capturing the feeling of the event or just a moment, the silliness that the bride and groom are allowed to do, there are so many things I could say....but Thank YOU is the best. You two are AWESOME.

Working with Jaime and Lauren was by far the best decision we made for our wedding! Picking a photographer is very hard and resembles a trust fall... you have to trust them to capture your best moments AND you spend your whole day with them, so it is incredibly important to choose people you actually like! Jaime and Lauren are so genuine, talented, and caring. We loved working with a husband and wife couple as they could separate and Lauren would be with the girls and Jaime with the boys. Very specifically.. the Eichars have a way of capturing the sunlight that makes you look like an actual goddess... we loved each one of our photos! They had the best tricks for getting genuine smiles and adorable candid pictures of us just being in love. We will treasure our pictures and our memories of working with them forever!

Lauren and Jamie were amazing to work with! My husband and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the get go, they were down to earth and easy to work with. They really tried to get to know us and figure out what we were looking for in our photos. They made us feel totally at ease and even took over working with the videographer (who we hired literally days before the wedding) to make sure his work was similarly great and what we were looking for. Once the photos came back (super fast timeline too!), we couldn't have been happier. We have literally hundreds that are good enough to frame. I have received so many compliments but even more importantly, they captured the day is perfect detail.

Jamie and Lauren were the absolute best. They made our day so perfect and comfortable. They are in it to make sure that they capture the big day, but also that you have fun... even during the hokey "touch foreheads" photos. By the end of the day it felt like we made two new friends. Beyond professional and courteous, these are two just superb humans.

We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos or our experience with Lauren and Jamie! Would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants beautiful, natural looking photos, which really capture the emotions of the day. Looking forward to working with them again in the future.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Lauren and Jamie, let alone the AMAZING pictures they delivered. They were by far my favorite vendor for our wedding weekend and I can't thank them enough for their hard work, incredible photography skills, and wonderful personalities. They are the best out there!

In our search, people emphasized that you need photographers whose presence you enjoy -- since you spend most of the day with them. Lauren and Jamie were absolutely those people. We found ourselves enjoying talking with them, and they seamlessly fit in with different groups (and chaos!). Neither me nor my husband are particularly at ease in front of cameras, but Lauren and Jamie made us feel incredibly comfortable, which led to us looking our best! In terms of the actual pictures, we were absolutely blown away by their work. They did a great job of capturing the candid shots throughout the day, and all the pictures reflected the spirit of the day really well. Most guests were in at least one picture, and they were raving about all the pictures. They way they took our general ideas and turned them into reality was amazing. The last thing we wanted to bring up is Lauren and Jamie's flexibility and experience. We wanted a golden hour photo shoot, but because of the mountains surrounding our venue, the sun actually went down more than an hour ahead of schedule. They worked with us, our coordinator, and DJ to basically restructure our entire schedule for the reception! Their ability to a) realize the changing situation and b) be flexible and work around other constraints was really impressive, and that's what led to such beautiful pictures! Overall, we cannot recommend them enough! They're great photographers and such genuine people that you're bound to enjoy both working with them and staring at the pictures afterward. :)

Lauren and Jamie are incredibly talented, sweet, professional and just generally a pleasure to work with. I was very nervous about how our wedding pictures would turn out because I was working with a dimly lit indoor venue and a husband who hates having his picture taken. To my delight, the photos are absolutely gorgeous. Jamie and Lauren captured every moment and detail, and even managed to get my husband posing like a pro for our couples pictures. I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome and am so grateful we were able to work with them. Thank you so much Lauren and Jamie!
