Photography is extremely important to be being an artist myself. I was actually nervous trying to find a photographer that would live up to my expectations. As soon as I saw the lunaphoto website I was blown away! Every picture looks like its s...traight out of a magazine! Paula shot our engagement photos in balboa park and our wedding at La Valencia in La Jolla. I know im not like most people who go with the flow for their pictures, I had examples for Paula for both the engagement pics and the wedding photos of exactly what I wanted, (im sure most photographers would be super annoyed with this) but Paula was up for it. We literally ran across balboa park trying to get all the shots and they came out beautifully; the way she uses natural light is incredible. When it came time for the wedding, again I was armed with my extensive shot list. Paula actually came with it printed out and we checked off the shots as we went. I wanted our first look to be at the beach which she was weary about due to time since I had so many other shots at the hotel and extensive detail shots. But it worked out perfectly. At one point she asked me to decide whether I wanted to continue with the list or be a few mins late for the wedding and I appreciated that she kept checking on us and had an eye on timing. Of course every wedding runs a bit late so I chose to continue our fun photo shoot. Her second shooter Gavin was awesome too he was running around and taking direction from the crazy grooms men, “take a picture of this etc” which my husband and I loved bc were all about having fun and being in the moment. He got a ton on great detail shots. The turnaround time with the wedding and engagement photos was crazy! The day after the wedding we went on our 2 week honeymoon to Europe and I was constantly checking facebook for sneak peeks of our wedding and sure enough…when I saw the first two shots I gasped they were amazing, so gorgeous, I couldn’t believe it was us! She got all the photos to me a little over 2 weeks later. That turnaround is crazy fast, some of my friends wait 4 or 5 months for wedding pics! I do wish we got a few more photos of just my husband and I straight on, many were kissing or looking at each other. But all in all they are just beautiful. The best part is our wedding is going to be featured in a top bridal magazine next year all because of Paula’s incredible photos. If you think wedding photography is expensive, you are right, but its worth every last cent. Because you can never relive that day- only through the photos that are captured.
