We found Heidi through a recommendation from our wedding venue and found her style of photography to be sincere and sharply produced. After an engagement photo shoot to see how sh...
e would handle us as unpracticed subjects, we committed to hiring her for our wedding on the spot.
What we admired about Heidi from this first shoot, and particularly through our wedding, is how good she is at balancing managing her audience with the technical art of her photography. We described ourselves as being awkward subjects, but going through these shoots - which take a long time! - felt like a conversation with a friend. She switched easily between our close ups and managing our crowd of a family. She also selected a great second photographer for us who ended up being crucial for capturing extra detail before and after our ceremony.
Something else to mention here is just how important the final products are. We have hundreds of high quality photos from the raw shoot, but Heidi is an expert at building these into a perfectly framed photo book that is truly one of our most valued possessions.
We all understand that weddings are very expensive, and it’s important to save on costs where we can. But our photography was one of the most important components of what we look back on and appreciate one year later. If you’re considering Heidi for your wedding, please reach out to her.
Our wedding was one year ago exactly, and we were told by a number of our vendors that we were one of the last weddings they worked before everything shut down. Looking ahead to brighter days, we hope you’ll have the opportunity to work with such an incredible photographer, as well.
Heidi was simply the best! We booked Heidi for our engagement photos and our wedding! She was a breeze to work with, and she was very organized and helpful in planning everything s...
o we would get all the photos we wanted for our big day. When COVID changed our wedding plans, Heidi was flexible and worked with us to still have photos from our micro wedding. We also ordered an album through Heidi, and it turned out amazing. We could not be happier with the number and quality of photos we got from Heidi!
Heidi went above and beyond for me at my wedding. When I met her for a consultation she had a very calming and genuine personality and I knew she was the person I wanted to photogr...
aph my wedding. My husband and I are pretty quiet and shy and Heidi is warm without being overwhelming. After our engagement shoot I got to know her style and felt comfortable being photographed at the wedding. The way she conducts business is straightforward and transparent, no hidden fees. The day of the wedding she was there on time and even helped me with a stitching emergency. She was very attentive if I had any requests and my family and I loved that she could be stern when needed while still being very polite. She made me feel amazing on my wedding day and helped it run smoothly. I am so glad I picked Heidi for my wedding and I highly recommend her.
Heidi was amazing! She was the first one to respond out of the 7 photographers we looked at. When we met her she was very easy to talk with and get to know. We did an engagement se...
ssion with her first and then our wedding. She is amazing; thoughtful; and obviously cares about the pictures she produces. She would fix fly away hair, carry flowers, lipstick, you name it!
We could not have asked for a better photographer than Heidi! She was one of the first vendors we booked, and she was consistently the key piece of keeping us sane and helping us ...
organize our wedding day. We took engagement pictures with her as well, and she made us feel immediately at ease. She went above and beyond for our engagement session, including taking pictures in the rain to capture a beautiful Balboa Park backdrop. She is the perfect combination of kind and easy going, as well as hard working and extremely talented. Because we booked her early on, we were so fortunate to have about a year of speaking with her and she was forever patient and communicative with us. Even with us planning a wedding out of state, we always felt like through all the craziness, Heidi was consistently amazing and truly cared about giving us stress free, breathtaking pictures. We found most of our other vendors through her as well, who all spoke incredibly (and rightfully so) highly of her. We already received a sneak peak of our wedding photos and absolutely adore them. I didn't think we could love any pictures more than our engagement photos, but these are totally perfect. I truly cannot recommend Heidi enough for a professional, trustworthy, kind, and patient photographer. Thank you, Heidi!!!
Words can't describe how fantastic it was to have Heidi as our photographer for both our engagement photo session and wedding day! My husband and I planned this wedding from Connec...
ticut so communication was important being that we weren't able to be there in person, and Heidi was so kind and responsive with everything! At first, we didn't think we would want the engagement photo session (since we had already done photos in Connecticut) but after more thought, we figured it'd be beneficial to 1. have photos done with different scenery and 2. get more comfortable with her before our big day. It was such a great idea so I highly recommend other future couples do the same as well! Before booking Heidi, I did a ton of research of different photographers from the area and after I had both the coordinator and venue highly recommend Heidi, there was no need to look any further. It also helped that after I told my other vendors (i.e. DJ, florist) that I was using her, they all commended how great she is. Her packages are very reasonable for the quality of work you receive and she is also more than happy to customize items that you want to add and/or omit. She has great experience with San Diego and recommended such a beautiful location for our engagement session (Scripps Pier) - we had a really fun time with her and left feeling like we both made a new friend. We even got our engagement photos within a few days of the session which I know she worked hard at doing in case we wanted to use any of the photos for the wedding. They were absolutely stunning!!
Then on the day of our wedding, her and her assistant (Weston) were perfect. They worked so well with everyone, and got things done and made sure we were always on schedule. I had numerous guests comment on how great the photographers were. We also received a few sneak-peak pictures within 2 days after the wedding and she also offered to send the digital original pics in case we want to use them for our thank-you cards, etc. Her service is amazing and if you are looking for a photographer for your big day, definitely book with her!
What can you say about the most perfect photographer that hasn’t already been said…. Heidi is cool, calm, professional, funny, prepared, fast acting, responsive, flexible, warm, pe...
rsonable, easy to take suggestions and give them… I could keep going but my mental thesaurus is failing me. We used her for both our engagement session at UC San Diego and our wedding at the Catamaran and I’m sure for many more events in the future (my second wedding? Just kidding!!!) Like other reviews have said (but can’t be stated enough), Heidi takes the time to get to know you and make sure you are comfortable with her so that it’s not even a second thought that she is at these important events, you just see her coming and go “oh great, Heidi is here” - like you just saw an old friend instead of the nerves I got with meeting some of the other photographers out there. If you could translate all of those personal qualities into pictures- that’s how her photographs are. They were flattering, candid, soft and vivid at the same time, carefully detailed, overall amazing. For our wedding she brought her assistant Chris and they both were fabulous. They navigated family with ease and calmed nerves and kept things moving! Fifty stars!!!!
Heidi is the best! I knew within 2 minutes of our initial meeting that I wanted her as our wedding photographer. We loved her organization and laid back personality! Plus her photo...
s are amazing!
We did our engagement session with Heidi and it turned out amazing. I love every single photo (and I never like photos of myself)!!
Heidi takes the time to carefully plan your entire wedding day and is always quick to respond to questions or requests. She provided a list of preferred vendors that was also really helpful.
We had a great time with her on our wedding day. She made us feel very comfortable and was able to get every photo that we discussed. I highly recommend Heidi! She is the best!
Heidi is fantastic! When we first met with her we loved how laid back she was-she matched our personalities. We didn't really want to do the engagement session but she explained ho...
w it is a time for us to all get to know each other and to practice being in front of the camera. I am so glad that we did it-I was blown away by how those photos came up. I loved every single one of them. She provided lots of great tips and we even used some of her preferred vendors. She was also always very quick to respond. We had a great time with her on our wedding day. She made us feel very comfortable on a day that is filled with excitement and emotions. We haven't received all of our wedding photos yet (she did a great sneak peak on facebook) but I already know I am going to love them. Thank you for capturing our love! I highly recommend Heidi! She is the sweetest!
We worked with Heidi for our September 2015 wedding in Mission Beach. She came highly recommended from a friend. She was so easy to work with and her photos speak for themselves. S...
he is very personable and takes the time to get to know the couple before the ceremony so that the big day is smooth. She even sent us a "date night" care package complete with popcorn and a movie!!! During the engagement shoot (we were very late) and she took the extra time to scout locations and acted as if it "No problem!". On the day of the wedding, we utilized the second shooter for our big day. Both of them captured beautiful photos and we couldn't of asked for asked for a better experience. She really takes the time to get to know all the details prior to the big day so that it goes over without a hitch! After the wedding, she is still in contact with us to ensure that we get all the prints we want and our photo book. She was amazing, awesome, and truly wonderful. We couldn't of asked for a better experience with a wedding photographer. Her work is beautiful and her personality makes her the perfect wedding photographer.
We hired Heidi of Heidi-o-Photo for our July 2015 wedding and we couldn’t be happier. Heidi handled our engagement photo session as well as our wedding day. We knew we had made the...
right choice from our first meeting. She was so detailed even going so far as to provide us a categorized list of suggested locations for our engagement photo shoot to suggestions on what to wear/bring. She provided us with recommendations on other vendors for our wedding, answered all of our million questions and all in a very timely manner. The stress of planning a wedding can be overwhelming at times and Heidi was always willing to help us in any way she could. We were both nervous about getting our photos taken, but she made us feel at ease right away and the photos were amazing. Our friends and family can’t stop saying enough great things about them. I would recommend Heidi to anyone getting married, or needing photos for any other reason. It was like having another friend at our wedding.
Heidi was a dream wedding photographer to work with! She was professional, organized and provided us with wonderful photos! We were so pleased with how our photos turned out. The c...
olor and sharpness was spot on and she really captured all the love and emotion of the day. We had so much fun reliving our special day through all the amazing, colorful images. Her style is very sweet and full of emotion, creating lots of intimate feeling photos without being intrusive. She also had excellent attention to detail and made sure we had a shot list prepared so she didn't miss a photo of something we really wanted. She had us fill out a questionnaire to get to know us too, which I thought was very thoughtful. She wanted to get to know us instead of just staying behind the camera to take our photos for the day. We were able to work with her on creating a (tight) timeline for the day as she was very accommodating to our requests on scheduling so she made it easy to stick to the plan the day of the wedding. She was courteous, patient and very sweet, she even sent us a little gift half way through our wedding planning process for my (now) husband and I to enjoy amongst all the craziness! Heidi delivered the photos within the promised timeline and even provided us with about a dozen sneak peak photos within the next week after our wedding to enjoy and share with family & friends. She was wonderful to work with and we are so pleased to have had her as our photographer for our special day. Heidi came highly recommended to me and I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a talented and caring wedding photographer.
Working with Heidi was a dream! I initially met her at a Bridal Bazaar and fell in love with her style and her work immediately. When I told my Dad about the prices, I think he wen...
t into minor shock since he got married in 1983 and had no idea what to expect. However, now that we have our images back, he cannot stop telling me how happy he is we hired her and how "every cent was worth it". We all love the images, and keep looking through them over again and again. Heidi also shot our engagement photos are a year before our wedding and she made my fiancee and I feel so comfortable the whole time (he HATES having his picture taken and I was worried that this would be so awkward for him since this is such an intimate photo shoot, but he loved working with her too!) Her assistant, Amanda, was also amazing and so easy to work with on our big day. We had a huge wedding party and a rather large family, but they were able to get through all the portraits so quickly and they are stunning! I will be using Heidi O Photo for all family portraits in the future! We love working with her and the final product is always flawless!
Heidi was very nice and easy to work with. She was a calming presence at the wedding. She suggested a nice site for engagement photos and made them fun to shoot.;She didn't offer...
