Half Full Photography

that no less than 3 of our friends have asked them to shoot their wedding photos, and I've now introduced Joey to my clients for corporate shoots. Seriously, your photographer search just ended. You're welcome.

re absolutely perfect and they never felt to obtrusive or posed. They truly made me feel at peace and calm on my wedding day. We have a very bossy family and they handled everyone beautifully.

eally showed in the photos. They’re beautiful, yet naturally captured every moment, big and small. They’re also very fun to work with and professional when it counts. We’re so glad we chose to work with them, and can’t recommend them enough!

o shoot our wedding (May 2018). They were a delight to work with throughout the entire process. They made my husband and I, as well as our families and friends feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We are thrilled with the gallery of images they captured, and we're so grateful to them for letting us relive our special day. Highly recommend!

knew immediately that they were perfect to capture our wedding. I loved browsing their website and viewing all of the fantastic weddings and events they have photographed. Throughout the planning stages and months leading up to the wedding they would check in with us via email or send us fun cards in the mail mentioning how excited they were to be a part of our wedding. When I had questions they were so responsive which really helped out. These details and personalized attention was unlike anything I have experienced! It set the tone for the wedding and got us excited to work with them! Our engagement shoot was so much fun! My husband and I were a little nervous at first being photographed in public, but Joey made us feel very comfortable. We laughed and had fun which made our photos turn out great! After our engagement shoot we increased our coverage with them and scheduled the maximum hours the day of our wedding. We were so grateful to have Joey and April at our wedding! They were so professional and calm throughout the entire day! In the morning there were some bumps in the timeline, but with Joey and April's help we were back up to speed with ease! Throughout the entire day they were patient, compassionate and made the day so much fun! Our family loved working with they, and mentioned they were so organized when taking family photos. We were so impressed with the photos they took. Their professionalism, knowledge of their craft and fantastic locations they chose made the experience so much fun! We were so lucky to work with them! Cheers!

case for me and my now husband, as we knew without a doubt that we wanted to work with Joey and April of Half Full Photography. I met Joey and April back in 2014 when they shot a wedding at one of my venues. They were charismatic, professional, and truly just really nice people. In addition to all of their lovely personal traits, their photos were AMAZING!!! Years went on and more and more amazing work crossed my desk. When it came time for me to get married, I was so excited that they were available. I had a destination wedding in Santa Barbara and they came up to work with us. It was perfect...they were perfect...my photos are gorgeous!!! If you have any doubt about booking with them, take the opinion of this highly picky event professional, and just DO IT!!!

really get an idea of their personalities) and this made us excited to meet them in person. Within the first few minutes of meeting them we instantly knew that we wanted to work with them! Joey and April made the whole process super easy – we felt they made genuine effort to get to know us, our families and everyone loved having them around. We are so thankful that we had two professional photographers that day and they each put their signature touches that really comes through in their work. We could not have been happier with all of our photos and they felt like part of our family and friends that day. We have looked at our photos countless times and are forever grateful to them for all of those special moments. What an amazing couple to work with and the quality of their work is second to none. You guys are absolutely the BEST! Cheryl & Brian

e people. We could not be happier with how our engagement pictures and wedding pictures turned out - we have received so many compliments! And on a day when you are surrounded by friends and family, it was so great to have Joey and April there to celebrate along with us!

out with old friends the entire day!!

g. My husband is not the most comfortable taking photos so I wanted to make sure we used a photographer that understood that and didn't pressure us to do anything unnatural. Joey shot our engagement photos and then he and April shot our wedding. Joey does a great job at guiding poses and placement and April has an eye for the details. She will make sure your dress is in place, jewelry straight, and hairs are out of the way. Communicating with them throughout the year is so fun and easy because THEY are so fun. They are also organized! Everything is simple and seamless. There is also just something fun about having a married couple photography duo. They genuinely enjoy their job. I am over to moon with how my photos turned out. Their style is on point and just beautiful!

mall, intimate wedding in our own backyard, and there were lots of little unique details that we put effort into and wanted to remember. April and Joey totally got it, and did a great job of capturing those little things. I could tell, they love what they do and take a lot of pride in doing it well. They also somehow captured lots of special moments between us and our family and friends, without ever being intrusive. They did a great job of staging the more formal photos too. When we got our flash drive of photos, I couldn't believe how beautiful and professional they all looked. We had an excruciating time picking out our favorites to go into the album since they were all so good. And the album turned out absolutely beautiful. I know we will cherish our wedding photos for many, many years to come. I would highly recommend Joey and April for your wedding too!

work with. April and Joey blended in so well and made everyone feel so comfortable. They captured all the photos I hoped for and then some. I would recommend Half Full Photography to anyone getting married. Working with them was an incredible experience and something I would do over and over again!

ere welcomed into their home to discuss our wedding photography, we felt like we were in incredibly good hands. After hanging out for a couple hours, we left knowing that these two would help us make our wedding day incredible. They were the first photographers we had met with, and while we chatted with a couple others, we knew we had to book these two. In the year leading up to the wedding, Joey was so supportive and there for us every step of the way. He even went out of town for us for an insanely awesome engagement shoot. The wedding day was a breeze, even though we veered off schedule slightly. April kept us moving and both made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We haven't gotten our pictures back yet, but I have no doubt in my mind that they will be beautiful and just what we wanted. That first night we met, they told us that they are firm believers in blending the traditional family look (to make grandma happy) and the more artsy look more couples are leaning towards these days. If our sneak peeks are any indication, they delivered on this ten-fold. I can't wait to have these two photograph more of our upcoming life events. You will not regret choosing them!

package of what is best for them and not best for you. Joey and April were an absolute joy to do business with, because they made it very clear their focus is on us and how we would like our wedding to be shot and every other details, not matter how small. They treated us like family and were a constant warm and joyful presence during the entire process. Joey and April worked to ensure the package of products and services was exactly what we were looking for. We are incredibly thankful for that, however the photos they shot surpassed all of our expectations. We had several trial shoots with other vendors and they simply were not even close to the quality of shots from Half Full. They worked several locations, scenes, poses, and captured the light and sentiment of each photo perfectly. We are incredibly thankful for their work. I will close with one of our favorite moments from the wedding. We had just finished the ceremony and were taking our newly married pictures. We were at an outdoor location right behind the altar where we were married. My husband was holding me close and kissing my cheek. Joey caught that moment with the perfect amount of sunlight that made the shot look stunning. He checked the shot on his camera and said “oh wow, you guys have to come see this”. We were all instantly in love with it and knew it was ‘the photo’ of the wedding. We have a black and white enlargement on our wall and we will cherish that moment forever. Joey and April made that moment possible, and we are forever grateful. Please choose Half Full for your next wedding, they will exceed all of your expectations.

ways there to answer any questions. They both are such genuine, nice, upbeat, easy to get along with people. Having them apart of our wedding day was great! Not only are their personalities awesome but they really helped us with sticking to our timeline and getting all of our BEAUTIFUL photos done within the right amount time. With all that said, I can't even begin to describe how AMAZING our wedding photos are!! They really came through for us and shot some INCREDIBLE photos! Not only are the photos unbelievable but they also made sure to take the photos that were very important to us. They really listened to us and gave us the beautiful photos that were dreaming of. Overall I would highly recommend Half Full Photography. They are amazing.

tant to us, as both of our mothers are photographers. We were given recommendations from venues we looked at, but the old-school, prom pose style was NOT for us. If you want classic, yet sophisticated and BEAUTIFUL photographs, Joey and April deliver! There were so professional, patient, and kind throughout the process. We loved them and can't wait to see the rest of our photos :)

ey at a beautiful location on a mild December afternoon and I have to admit I was nervous about getting my picture taken. To my surprise, we had a blast. Joey made us feel so comfortable and we were able to just be "us". He captured those looks and movements that two people share and we love the pictures. I would recommend Half Full to any couple wanting beautiful, fun, natural engagement and wedding photos. I smile every time I look at the pictures. Thank you Thank you Thank you J & A.

asy to work with. They listened to what I wanted and captured my wedding day in the most beautiful, flawless manner. Plus, the wedding album they created for my husband and me is something that I will always cherish. Book them today, and you won't regret it!

just tell that they genuinely love what they do and really want to create the most beautiful product for you. They really pay attention to what is important to you on your wedding day. (For example, I told them I loved photos with a lot of light and the candid moments) Our photos turned out SO AMAZING! seriously-I love all of them. But more than that, it felt like friends were photographing us on our wedding day, not a random wedding vendor. Our photos really reflected who my husband and I are. There is no way anyone can be disappointed with these guys. They truly are the best. They made the process so easy for us and always made sure that they were available for any questions we had. They returned calls and emails right away--we really felt like we were their top priority. Thank you Joey and April for sharing your passion with us and for giving us such beautiful photos that will be decorating our house forever! Cheers! E+R

impressed - they made everything so easy and were so genuine and positive. We loved getting to know them and of course their photography was AMAZING! We worked with Joey & April for our engagement and wedding photos and every single photograph was amazing - we had SO much fun! Joey & April organized an awesome outing for our engagement photos that not only made for wonderful pictures, but really captured who we were as a couple. On our wedding day all of our friends and family loved Joey & April and they added so much to our special day on every level. We will enjoy and cherish our photos forever!! We LOVE Joey & April and would recommend them to any of our friends!!

apture the perfect pictures, and I was right. I spent more than I had originally planned but in the end it was absolutely worth it. They were so easy to get along with, great with my wedding party, and we were able to get all the pictures in that we wanted in the time frame that we had between ceremony and reception, an incredible feat if you ask me. The end results were just amazing and I am forever grateful to them giving me these lasting memories of my wedding. I would recommend them 100 times over. You could easily tell how much they care about their clients and how much care and effort they put into every little thing they do. I am so thankful to have found them.
