Eve Rox Photography

find a quality photographer with an eye for some of the artsy/moody photos we were hoping for. Enter Eve who really did come and save the day. From the moment we met, she was so kind and showed a true interest in getting to know us as a couple. She was an absolute rock star during our wedding. We had a larger wedding (150 ppl) and she handled it with grace; always staying patient but giving direction confidently when need be. One of our favorite things Eve did was our private vows. We were considering scrapping it as it might be too complicated logistically, but Eve knew how important that time would later be and moved quick to find a quiet spot to make it happen. That really set the tone for my now wife and I, and was one of our most cherished moments on our wedding day. And the photos! We just received our full gallery and they're so beautiful! We feel so lucky to have worked with Eve. I would absolutely recommend her and hope to work with her again some day. Thank you Eve!

e was very patient with us, but also helped direct us to ensure that our most special moments would be captured. We honestly can't imagine having gone with anyone else. Eve is really the best photographer for the big day. It always felt like she would go to the ends of the earth to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and excited. She is also incredibly affordable for being such an elite wedding photographer.

o this Long Beach, CA local, queer, Latina photographer!! Eve brought so much energy and excitement about our love and wedding vision right from the first email exchanges. We quickly set up a video meeting to further discuss our wedding vision and photography needs. I’m pretty sure we laughed for the entire hour. Eve is very experienced and professional when it comes to wedding photography. Months before the wedding day, she had a suggested timeline ready to make sure we got all the photos we wanted. Eve worked so well with our coordinator blending their timelines together to make everything fit. On our wedding day, Eve and her second shooter, Amanda, showed up on time and ready to go. They kept the day moving and even made sure we both had sunscreen to keep us from getting a desert sunburn! The post-ceremony couple photos were my favorite part of the day. As a couple, our top priority was getting beautiful, scenic desert photos together and Eve delivered!!! And had us laughing the whole time lol. We have only received “sneak peak” photos so far (that Eve was up at 3am editing for us haha), but we are happy to wait to see all the photos. This gal is in HIGH demand this busy, semi-post-COVID wedding season! I would HIGHLY recommend Evelyn Avila as your wedding day photographer if you want a true professional to capture the magic of your day, keep you laughing, and be as is excited as you, if not more, about your love.

wkward about PDA and Pictures well its spells disaster for a photographer. Well this is not the case with Eve. We found Eve through our Wedding planner Megan from Sweet Peach Planning. She sent us a link to her portfolio and we fell in love with her color palate. Our first meeting was a little rocky, in the sense that we didn’t know what we wanted and we all were trying to figure each other out. After speaking with Megan we decided to go with an engagement session so we can all work together and feel each other out, this was honestly the best thing ever because the second Eve started snapping photos of us, she knew exactly what she needed from us. Of course we were awkward at times but Eve would ease us into it and just let the camera take pictures of true outburst of laughter we thought we were secretly sharing. This led us to hire Eve for our Elopement since we had to reschedule our Ceremony to the summer but did not want to lose out on our 10th anniversary as a couple being the day we tied the knot. Eve makes Lemon drops out of Lemons because it was POURING down that day and she still managed to take some of the best pictures of the special day we shared with my mother, her father and our officiant. This is why the day of the ceremony in the high 90’s Eve found a way to get the best out of us. I mean, she would just give us a couple of words on how she wanted us posed and we already knew what she needed. Although it can feel overwhelming with everything going on, Eve’s mind is only thinking of that perfect shot and when she finds it she makes sure she runs over to steal you for a few seconds to get that shot. My favorite shot of ours is where I am holding my wife up with the sun behind us in front of a cactus garden, it reminds me of all the rom-com movie posters we grew up seeing in the 90’s. One last thing we wanted to touch on was how fast and eager Eve is to get you a sneak peek of your photos. Our wedding was packed and over with by 11 pm, we got our first 30 photos at 1 am. Eve had left our wedding around 7pm this means by the time she beat traffic to her home about 45 mins away, ate dinner and took time to relax a little, she had knocked out some of the best pictures our special day. Eve is a pleasure to work with and an all-around amazing person.

ll the emotions wrapped up in that moment. Her photos are impressive works of art, and she is able to capitalize on locations and very specific lighting, yielding crisp, clean, colorful shots. Some photographers may just take a bunch of pictures—but when you look at Eve’s photos, it’s like they tell a story—like you’re reliving an experience. Eve is very passionate about the work she does. We really enjoyed her sneak peeks from our shoots, and it was genuinely fun to work with her. She comes with years of experience, and is knowledgeable about the Long Beach area. She was already familiar with all the shoot locations beforehand and knew where and how to get the best shots. She also works well with fussy subjects, such as our dog, Yukihiro (who gets constantly distracted by just about everything) and our young nephew, Rowan (who just turned 2 and also gets constantly distracted by everything). Her website is also quite convenient for purchasing prints. Prior to our wedding, we went on an engagement shoot in downtown Long Beach at the Promenade, which was really great for getting us comfortable around the camera. We absolutely treasure the photos from that shoot and had a great time that day! Unfortunately, COVID disrupted our original wedding date and caused us to reschedule 3 different times. Of all the vendors we’d booked, we were most adamant that we retain Eve, since we knew that she’d be instrumental to our wedding day. Fortunately, Eve was incredibly accommodating to our circumstances—and not only was she still able to shoot our wedding, but we ended up also doing a followup engagement shoot to once again get us comfortable in front of the camera prior to our wedding. Eve is a calming presence and a joy to be around. After working with her through the photo shoots, it felt like working with a friend. We are so fortunate to have her incredible talents on our wedding day, and will enjoy these photos forever! We highly recommend Eve to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!

e has modeled a few times before. Needless to say, it was really important for us (especially me) to hire a professional photographer for our wedding. We reached out to Eve as soon as I stumbled upon her beautiful work on Pinterest. She has great style, it’s moody and artistic. I especially love that she is really thoughtful about little details and pays attention to her surroundings, it was exactly what I was hoping I would find… but it did not stop there... She gave us really valuable tips prior to and on the day of the event— like, our wedding would have been a hot mess without her! Lol. She made us feel comfortable, provided direction, and was very kind every step of the way. Best of all, the pictures turned out amazing. One of my sisters said they are the kind of pictures our future children will be proud of. Best. Wedding Investment.

st intimate moments in the most beautiful way. She made my husband and I feel comfortable behind the camera, therefore our pictures came out looking effortless. Eve played a HUGE role in making our wedding day so special, and we can honestly say she’s one of our friends now. I can’t recommend this talented woman enough. 10 stars!

vegan food and wine (both very important things in my life). We were lucky to call eve our photographer during our wedding and are lucky to continue calling her a friend. She helped us feel comfortable during our engagement and wedding photos, and did not mind that we wanted photos in all the gorgeous Santa Barbara areas. We absolutely adore our wedding album! She beautifully captured everything we loved about our day, veganism, small businesses, Santa Barbra, our family, and of course my husband and I. We get to relive that day over and over again because of her, and I find a new favorite every time I look through it!

e in my family look great and that also had real artistic quality. Not only did Eve NAIL our photos on both counts, she was the sweetest, most grounding and overall awesome presence throughout the whole day. Seriously, if she could get our family (which includes an 80 year old, a frenetic six year old, and a two grumpy teenagers, plus us the bride and groom, NONE OF WHOM LIKE HAVING OUR PICTURE TAKEN) to look stunning and comfortable, she can do anything. Eve is also such a breeze to work with- it felt like having another trusted friend with us all day, and when she sent us a preview of the photos WITHIN HOURS, I was expecting maybe three, but got ~25 stunning shots off the bat! We just received our full gallery and these will be photos we'll all treasure forever. On top of all that, Eve's package was the best value of any of the photographers we looked into. She's a gem.

didn’t second-guess. For real. I was excited about Eve’s work because each wedding in her portfolio looked different and unique to each couple, and it was clear she is attentive and present with each couple for who they are in that moment. This was true just from looking at her portfolio, and even more so after having met with her a few times. She is an amazing artist, and I am so glad that she shares her perspective of the world through her photography. My only regret is that we couldn’t afford to extend Eve and Edith’s time because I wish I had them capture more of that day (but Eve was very accommodating of our budget!). They both are kind, supportive, very present people who find beauty and humor in any situation—this energy spread to us, throughout the whole wedding, and it is evident in the photographs. Ours was a homemade wedding without a professional coordinator, and although our friends came together to make the thing happen, there were still little gaps that Eve and Edith identified and fixed before they became catastrophes, IE we started to cut the cake and there was no plate; Edith ran into the house and found one, handed it to us like it was no big thing, smiling the whole time (which made us smile). They didn’t have do these things—they were our photographers—but they did, and did so with a great spirit of warmth and generosity. They are experts not just in aesthetics but in all things wedding, and although it would be unfair to think of them as helping making your wedding run, know that you are in really good hands and they seem to enjoy taking the edge off a stressful day. And they do all this while taking really gorgeous photographs that feel authentic to the moment, environment, and people in the frame. A few weeks before the wedding, my very loved sister(-in-law)—who was a major part of the wedding party and our family—died unexpectedly. I told Eve a few days before the wedding (when I could finally talk about it), explaining that although we intend for our wedding to be a happy occasion, we were very much grieving and the day would take necessarily take on a much different tone than we’d planned. Eve and Edith both understood the complexity of our feelings. I never felt judged for not seeming ‘happy’ enough; they were engaged, respectful, and very sweet about how we chose to honor my SIL; they were warm and accepting of the range of our emotions that day—all while also helping us as the bride and groom be in the moment on our wedding day. I am forever grateful to them for this, since they were a major part of me feeling calm and as happy as I could be on that day.

ed all the fun moments and special details to our day! We are so grateful-thank you!!

email with a handful of incredible selects! I started crying all over again. She helped us feel comfortable posing and gave us just the right direction to make the photos exceptional. Her kindness and enthusiasm were more than I could have asked for. She had such a great energy. I can’t recommend her enough!

Your wedding day will go by so quickly, but you will have your photos forever, so my advice is hire Eve!

oughtful about creating images that capture the love between you and your partner. She is personable, funny, creative, and the perfect person to capture your wedding through photos. Her work is beautiful. The pictures we received during our engagement photo session and the wedding were gorgeous. We received so many compliments about them (and her!) and each shot was so beautiful and perfect. I definitely encourage you to use Eve as your wedding photographer. You will not be disappointed!

fully captured in her pictures mesmerized me, and I immediately reached out. Through our initial Skype session, Eve’s warmth and kindness made my husband and I feel so comfortable as we knew we had met someone who was caring and had our best interests at heart. It felt like we had known her for a long time even though we had just meet her. Despite living in Southern California, Eve comforted us with her enduring trust that she would be committed to travel our San Francisco Bay Area wedding as she regularly photographs in the area and has friends and family that live there. After our initial meeting, we knew we could trust and count on her. Leading up to our engagement shoot, Eve was efficiently responsive from our many emails and text messages as she helped fine tune many of the questions and ideas I had for the shoot. I loved how receptive and excited she was for my ideas and I loved how she offered some of her own, too! Not to mention, she flew into San Francisco just for the night to take our pictures! Prior to our engagement shoot, my husband and I have never taken professional photos and were a little nervous how they would turn out. All of our worries went away within the first couple of shots as Eve made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her excitement was palpable and made the engagement shoot so much fun! She blew our expectations out of the water with her commitment to capture as many pictures as she could, even spending the whole afternoon with us (way longer than we thought she would spend). We even drove around the city to find more places to take pictures and despite us offering to end the session (out of courtesy, we loved it and could have gone for longer), she eased our worries and insisted we spend more time. Her commitment to get to know us and capture this special time in our lives made me overwhelmed with immense gratitude and appreciation. By the end of the engagement shoot, we felt that we had met someone who clicked with us so well and we truly had found a friend in Eve. In addition, she surprised my husband and I with our completed engagement shoot just a few days later! Leading up to our wedding, Eve was so meticulous about the schedule for the day, which made me feel so comforted (since we did not have a wedding planner or day of coordinator). I truly felt that I could rely on her for her advice and wisdom in planning how the day was going to go. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early with the second photographer and jumped right into action. Throughout the rest of the day, she effortlessly captured every moment and even stayed longer at the end to get the last shot of my husband and I in a redwood grove where our ceremony took place. Truly, we cannot thank Eve enough for everything she did for my husband and I. I cannot tell you how many people have commented on how BEAUTIFUL our pictures are. Eve truly has a gift and everyone at our wedding couldn’t say enough wonderful things about her. Eve beautifully captured such a special time in our lives and we couldn’t be more thankful or appreciative for everything she has done for us. Thank you so much, Eve!!!

e agreed to the date changes. Not only that but she went and above and beyond to help me with the actual wedding planning, helping me with so many details and things I didn't have any clue how to do. Just so so helpful, even when that wasn't part of her job at all and wasn't required. It felt like she really actually did care about wanting us to have the wedding we wanted, and was always so easy to get ahold of and quick to respond to any questions. She did an amazing job at our wedding and got some really beautiful photos of us which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Additionally, after the wedding our photos were ready pretty quickly and she made it simple to access and order prints that we wanted. Then a few weeks later we got a package in the mail and it was a beautiful one-of-a-kind flash drive with our photos and some prints that she had done as well. It was just really amazing and I am so thankful that she was there to capture our big day and to help us so much. Highly recommend!!

lots directions helped me not feel or make our pictures look so awkward . When I switched venues and dates they were awesome in working with us and even offered to help us find a church if needed, gave us lots of tips to help make our special day a night to remember. They were always replied back to emails and phone calls in a timely manner and they were never late. These ladies are beautiful inside and out it’s hard not to love them. They captured so many beautiful candid moments, we were so blessed to have them on our team. It was so cute I think they were more excited than I was 😊

ing, and professional. Evelyn goes above and beyond of what is required of her; no joke, she even offered to help me make phone calls to vendors while I was planning my out of state wedding! Evelyn is a phenomenal human being and a true artist. We were so lucky to have been able to book her! Thank you so much!

ee. We felt confident in choosing her as our wedding photographer. A couple months after signing the contract (with about 6 months to go before the wedding), I received an email from Eve out of the blue. She was going to be in the Bay Area shooting other events, and wanted to offer a free engagement session for us in her downtime. We initially had not wanted to take engagement photos — my partner and I don’t like having our picture taken! — but we are so glad we did. Those photos, like the photos on the day of our wedding, turned out gorgeously. I would recommend Eve to any couple for their wedding day. She is so easy to work with, has a great sense of humor, and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera — even if you are like us and usually hate it. You can’t go wrong with Eve!

eel for each other's personalities and we automatically clicked. Eve and Edith were both warm, welcoming, and overall incredibly fun people to interact with. We decided to book them immediately and they never failed to disappoint. The package that we purchased, which was very reasonably priced for the amount of work that goes into it, included both engagement and wedding photos. Due to the fact that my wife and I live in San Jose and are planning a wedding in Los Angeles, it was quite difficult to schedule a time where we could both be in the same place at the same time. Eve went above an beyond any expectation that we had when she offered to do our engagement photos in San Francisco. When we finally met face-to-face for the first time, it was as if we were long-time friends reuniting. The conversation was easy and the jokes were flying! We hit up two separate spots (Magnolia Brewing Co. and Clarion Alley) and the interactions just felt SO natural. We finished up and said our goodbyes until the wedding day (sadly). On the wedding day, Eve and Edith were beyond prepared; they knew what to do, when to do it, who to talk to, how to talk to them, and every little detail that allowed our day to simply flow while they captured it seamlessly. They were able to capture photos candidly when needed, while also being able to direct us in such a way that helped us express our personalities freely! And finally, the reception. Having them there was not only a blessing, but an absolute pleasure. I can remember seeing them on the dance floor and smiling because they were not just there to photograph the best night of my life, they were there to experience it WITH US. Towards the end of the night when they finished up, my wife and I thanked them incessantly and eventually, shared some tears over the pure joy that we felt having them be a huge part of our wedding day. If you have a choice on wedding photography, it would be in your best interest to go with Eve and Edith. They are experts at their craft; professional, detail oriented, knowledgeable, experienced, and a pleasure to be around. I will continually recommend them forever.
