Ali is the best! My husband and I have never hired a professional photographer before, but we are so glad we found Ali for our engagement photos/ wedding day! She is professional, ...
fun, friendly, and easy to work with. Her style and packages fit my needs perfectly. On our wedding day, Kim was the secondary photographer and I can say the same things about her as I did about Ali. My husband and I had such a great time working with them both on the day of, we shared lots of joy and laughs. It honestly felt like we were all friends hanging out but still with professionalism. I will be using Ali for all my professional photography needs in the future! If you are in search of a photographer, definitely inquire Golden Arrow!
I loved working with Golden Arrow Photo! They were great, very friendly and personable. I really felt like they had my back and were there for me. They comforted and prepped me pre...
-wedding and took charge and held their own of. I have a very large family and was worried about the formal family pictures, but they handled it better than I thought possible and I didn't have to do a thing, which was even better! Ali really works with you to make sure that they capture the true you and your spouse/family/friends. She followed my bridesmaids and I on an adventure so that we could take photos in a fountain/waterfall...and she even played the "Friends" theme song for us during that shoot. It's the little things that go a long way and their customer service is amazing. It took about 2 months to get our photos, but we weren't in a hurry and they were worth the wait. The quantity and quality was wonderful! I am so glad we chose to go with the 2 photographer option. You can't beat the price and it is well worth it when you see your photos. I can't wait to cherish these memories forever. Thank you Ali and Team for making my day wonderful and allowing me to relive it whenever I want :)
Golden Arrow Photography captured moments in our wedding and engagement that went beyond our expectations. In the ever talented pool of photographers here in Southern California, w...
e were immediately and unanimously drawn to Ali Lieb and her work.
Before ever meeting with her, she was very quick to respond to e-mails. She spoke with confidence, excitement, and so much patience when answering the PAGES of questions we had for her! When we finally met with her, she welcomed us with a big smile and so much joy for getting to capture our special day.
Ali was flexible, fun, and full of creative ideas. She was very clear on the parameters of each possibility; hiding nothing from us (none of those hidden fees, thank God!), all while being fully aware of our budget and sensitive to our special wants and needs.
Being a Chinese-Jewish wedding, where each culture has it’s own complicated language and traditions, Ali and her staff weaved in and out of crowds swiftly and purposefully. We were at ease, knowing we could trust her keen eyes and talent.
During our engagement photos, my fiancé and I had much difficulty trying to find a backdrop that was altogether beautiful, and “us.” It was difficult to articulate what we wanted so we just pointed at some pictures and said, “that!” Within a matter of seconds she suggested a garden near us and shot our pictures in 30 minutes, including a change of clothing and multiple different sceneries, portraits and candid shots. She waisted no time, and helped us feel safe and silly throughout our whole time with her. Ali knows what she is doing, she knows the area, and she loves her art and people.
Golden Arrow Photography has been a deep blessing to us and our families. Weddings are full of action, and it’s so hard to be present physically and mentally for every detail of that day. Time seems to go by so quickly and we forget to stop and enjoy the crazy, silly, awkward, bitter-sweet, and fun times that each moment brings us. Ali has captured all of these precious moments. We are overwhelmed and overjoyed to have these gifts and to look back on these memories. Thank you again Golden Arrow; Ali, you’re amazing.

then your search stops here! We are so obsessed with our pictures. The level of detail and perfection in our photos is mind blowing. We did so much research before booking our photographer and nothing compares to Ali's work. On top of being an amazing photographer, she is also such a sweet easy person to work with. We are super awkward in front of a camera and Ali made it so easy! She kept us sane on our wedding day and made sure we stayed within the timeline we wanted. We will continue to recommend Golden Arrow Photo to everyone we know. Thank you guys so much for capturing our perfect day!

eel confident in her ability to capture not just the standard moments of the wedding, but also the candid ones that make the wedding come to life. She really cares about developing a relationship with each of her clients and offers varying packages to suit whatever your needs are.

She captured such magic with her eye for composition and lighting, she steers you in the right direction without fail. She made the whole process from start to finish, effortless with her ability to be professional, genuine, and of course with her talent to capture the love on such a special occasion.
