heidi-o-photo

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!

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!!!!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
