While we won’t be getting married again, we can’t wait to use her services for our family photos for years to come!

Those are some of my favorite pictures! Next up, holiday photos of our "new family" (I love saying that!) and of course, Sandey will be behind the camera.

ur daughter's wedding! Not only is she a Ninja, everywhere at once, but she has a gift for somehow making everyone feel at ease and natural.

I was lucky to have been able to snag Sandra for my destination wedding in San Diego this last summer. I have known and worked with Sandra for many years when I previously lived in...
Phoenix, AZ. Her and I kept a very friendly relationship over the years. She also was available in San Diego to perform our engagement photos over the holidays when we were there visiting. Her prices are competitive, as her work is beyond the ordinary. She is professional, has admirable work ethic, and her work speaks for itself. Sandra's photos always captures memories, no matter how big or small, and they always have a softness to them. I have adored her style for years and would only work with her if possible at any milestone photoshoot as long as I can. I am so pleased with our wedding photos in particular. Her artistic abilities shine above many others that I have viewed and she thoroughly enjoyed taking the photos and being a very important part of our big day. Sandra goes above and beyond for her clients, and I am so happy to have had her take such important photos. Her personality is infectious and she gets things done, gives great direction, and has a clear vision. I highly recommend Sandra Tenuto Photography!
Sandey was so amazing in every way. I didn't have a wedding planner, and felt overwhelmed at times, but Sandey's professionalism and organization put everything into place perfectl...
y. She did so much for me beyond just photography; helping me organize a timeline for everything. My groom's family had lot's of members and little ones, and Sandey did an amazing job of wrangling everyone and making it fun and keepjng the kids' attention. She travels a lot for shoots and is comfortable in any setting imaginable. Our wedding was outdoors and in northern AZ, and she immediately got into the scenery and location for the best shots. I'm not the type to feel super confidant in front of the camera but she made me feel so comfortable and got such flattering and amazing shots, it felt easy. Aside from being a fabulous photographer, she is the sweetest, most genuine person, and every interaction with her feels like you're with an old friend. Everyone tells you it all goes by so quickly, and that couldn't be more true, so it is so important to invest in a photographer that will get your shots and capture all the special moments because they literally go by in the blink of an eye, and you will always have the beautiful images to look back on. I really can't say enough wonderful things about Sandey. Anyone would be so lucky to work with her and have her beautiful images forever! :) I can't wait to work with Sandey again down the road for family and holiday photos etc. You will not be disappointed!
Sandey's photos captured every emotion of our day. From start to finish, the photos capture every emotion of the day. Narrowing down to 100 for our album was hard. Sandey made sure...
we were always taken care of and made it fun throughout the day. We never had to look for her...she was always just there! Highly recommend Sandey. Professional, fun and a true talent.

You won't regret it!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Sandra Tenuto Photography to capture fresh and professional head shots for our company. Sandra took the time to understand what we wanted t...
o get out of our photo shoot, and suggested the perfect location that embraced our branding. It was such a relief when Sandra gave us direction during the shoot. She knew exactly what would make for the best shot. Each and every photograph came out even better than expected. We were blown away with how many photographs she could take during such a short session. Sandra has a gift and we cannot wait to work with her again!

ernity photos, and she will soon be doing our newborn baby pictures! My husband and I are beyond pleased with Sandey's work and she has become a good friend to us.

Sandey is AMAZING!
I have used Sandey for all my photos since I met her and I knew she would be the one to do my wedding whenever that happened. My husband (then boyfriend) even ...
used her services to propose! We had a wedding in Las Vegas and we flew her in to be the photographer (that's how much I love her!). She took the time to go around the resort and find all the amazing areas to photograph and we came away with gorgeous one of kind, artistic photos. My wedding photos turned out better than I imagined. I cannot say enough about Sandey, if you are planning a wedding or any event and you want the *best of the best* she's your lady!
Jan 07 2007 is a day I will never forget. I said I do to my life partner. 7 years later I look at my pictures and just say WOW!! Sandra Tenuto captured those moments all brides wan...
t. She has done her research on times and best places to take pictures. She made those awkward moments and poses so natural with romance, love, laughter and quality.
Invest in the price for memories cherished are worth a lifetime.
This review is LONG overdue. Sandey was my wedding photographer a few years ago and she was simply amazing. She gets it. She understands the bride, the groom, the family, and yes, ...
even the dog!
She can make you look even more beautiful than you already are, and, has a few tricks to make your assets stand out ! Her extensive years as a photographer come across in the photos. It's like Magic when you see them. I got goose bumps when I saw mine!
She knows how to work with colors, lighting, angles, and always maintains a professional yet friendly attitude, especially on what is such a stressful day!
If you haven't already seen her work, you should. If she is not photographing your wedding or any other important life event or fun photo shoot - you dont' know what you are missing.
Trust me. I live and work in LA. I am in the "industry" and I've seen it all. She truly is AMAZING.
Sandra is amazing! If you can get her on the schedule, you are lucky! She travels all over the country to capture weddings and special family moments. The photos are classy and t...
imeless, yet artistic/ unique.
Reviewing and finalizing after your big day, she is very organized and patient/helpful. Her books make you feel like you are living it all over again. They tell your story/ capture moments with an artistic eye. I feel like my album is timeless and just beautiful....it comes alive and allows you to relive your special day. If you want an artistic/ elegant memory, Sandra can deliver - from shooting to finishing, layouts and printing, I would HIGHLY recommend Sandra Tenuto!
I have been beyond pleased with Sandey and her amazing photography! My wedding was in November of 2013 and I was referred to her by my sister in law who also used her for their we...
dding. I knew as soon as I met her that she would be perfect. She is confident, accomodating and so personal! I was so impressed with her during our engagement session and the wedding. It was such a blessing to have her take charge at the wedding she gracefully manages to get everyone in the right spots at the right time never losing a precious second of your special day. She is wonderful and I can't wait to use her in the future.
Where do I begin? Sandey Tenuto is hands-down the best photographer I could have possibly asked for. When booking Sandey you will not just get the photographer you were hoping for ...
but you will gain a friend.
I had the opportunity to have Sandey capture special moments from a wonderful engagement shoot before my then fiancé deployed for 6 months. She made me feel comfortable and happy when we had just a few days left together (we had only been engaged a week). I then worked with Sandey on the most BEAUTIFUL and tasteful boudoir shoot I could have ever dreamt of. I am not the most comfortable girl in front of the camera but she certainly found a way to make me feel like I was the most beautiful woman on the planet. Last but not least she photographed the big day. She was cool, calm, and collected and knew the hotel like the back of her hand. Our photos were ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and we could have not been more pleased with the outcome. People are still asking me about our photographer months after our wedding.
I recommend Sandey to any bride/groom or anyone out there looking for someone to capture special moments in their life. Anyone can snap a good photo... but not everyone can be as talented, professional, and caring as Sandey. She simply is the best.
I feel so blessed to have found Sandra Tenuto Photography to capture my special day. She captured every moment along the way from our engagement, to preparation, ceremony and cele...
bration beautifully, beyond words. The images she captured were pictures I couldn't even imagine were possible. Her eye for location and artistic expression is simply the best. She is someone you would want in your family, along your side for your special day and someone you can trust beyond compare. The best part of my experience with Sandra Tenuto Photography is that her capturing our wedding day was just the beginning … she continues to capture our special moments from pregnancy, to first birthdays, family photos and beyond. She is AMAZING and simply put, hands down the best.
Sandey did a great job with our small wedding! Her creativity was endless when I didn't know exactly what I wanted, just that I wanted something different than the traditional pos...
es! A big thanks to her for capturing the moments that seemed small at the time but looking back make me tear up! I cannot say enough about Sandey, my friends still talk about our photos as they are getting married and want the same experience! As a bride, it was a big relief to know that we had the right person for our special day! Thanks Sandey!
Sandra is nothing short of amazing! Meeting her for the first time was like being with a sister or best cousin which made the process so effortless and FUN! She took some of the mo...
st amazing photos that we didn't even know she took. Her energy and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the best shot is something I have never experienced before with a photographer. She even showed off some spiderman moves, balancing on a wall to get an incredible shot of my dress twirling. She continues to do amazing photography for us, perfectly capturing and being a part of our growing family. Thank you Sandra!!
Looking back on our wedding photos, the ones that really stand out are the candid moments. Any good professional photographer can stage a nice photo. Capturing the little moments t...
hat make the day special takes real talent and Sandey does it well.
Sandey is so truly talented and has beautifully photographed countless weddings. She was so sweet on my wedding day, she even helped me calm down when I got nervous, and made sure ...
both my husband's and my own very large families were captured in the photos. She knew our wedding venue like the back of her hand, especially where the lighting and scenery would be particularly well suited for photos. Her work is beautiful, artful and sophisticated--without question, I give her my highest recommendation.
Sandey was my photographer for my wedding in Cabo San Lucas in 2012. She was referred to me through several people who couldn't have had greater things to say. Sandey met with me o...
ne time, showed me her amazing pictures and I was sold. She took our engagement pictures, a fun photo shoot of me for my husband, my wedding pictures, the pictures of my newborn son and finally our holiday photos! You could say that I may have fallen in love with her and her work just a little bit.
But back to the wedding, Sandey had quite the task ahead of her. A weekend in Cabo shooting pictures... pretty tough. She was the easiest part of my planning and even better when my hair and makeup girl wasn't able to make it at the last minute she was able to use her contacts to find me an amazing person whom she had worked with before to bring along.
I couldn't have been happier with the pictures she took. Capturing things in my wedding that I don't think anyone else could have. Her creativity is truly brilliant and her customer service is beyond unbelievable. She is the best!
My husband and i decided that pictures were one of the only pieces of our wedding we would have forever. We wanted someone that was very experienced and could convey Kyle and I th...
ru the lens. Sandra was just that. On such a high stress day Sandra helped me to feel relaxed and calm. When we got the photos back i was beyond pleased. It was as if i could relive that day all over. I will continue to recommend Sandra to all my friends and family. She is truly talented.
Sandey came highly recommended from my sister who uses her every year for their Christmas portraits.
I would recommend her 100 percent for pictures for any occasion. Sandey is f...
ull of energy and has great ideas for pictures. We enjoyed working with her on our special day.
