Sun & Sparrow Photography and Film

also gave directions so well! Every photo she snapped of us truly captured our true love, romance and passion between my husband and I. Our wedding pictures truly look like a fairytale wedding. I cannot say enough how sweet, talented and amazing Tiffani is! Sun & Sparrow truly is magnificent! They honestly made our wedding memories last forever! Thank you Sun & Sparrow for capturing the happiest day of our lives!

ow they were completely booked up for that year but for some reason Tiffani gave it some thought and a little bit of prayer and chose to take us on. So with that being said, this is why I have to apologize to this wonderful team for taking so long in writing a review for them. I must say that Sun and Sparrow goes above and beyond their job on taking just amazing photos of your day. Weeks before the wedding, I met with Tiffani so she could get an understanding of who I was and my ideas of what I envisioned for our wedding. Being from out of state we did a lot of texting, emailing and phone conversations. Tiffani is so warm and inviting you'll feel like you've known her for years. On the day of the wedding Tiffani was practically my wedding coordinator for the day, (mind you she was around 7 months pregnant at the time) she did everything... (i don't even know where my actual coordinator was because I hardly saw her). Thank the Lord for Tiffani and Claudia or otherwise I think our day would've been a mess. We had a few things that didn't go as planned but Tiffani made sure that it got done in a different way. They made sure that the day went smoothly and that's exactly what they accomplished. When our photos were done and viewable...I couldn't have asked for more. They came out so beautifully, more than I could've imagine and I cherish them everyday. Our short film goes beyond words. It's such an awesome film and my heart smiles every time I view it. If you can fit the film in your budget please do so you will cherish it for a lifetime. Thank you Tiffani and Claudia for making our day look so beautiful. Beyond grateful.

ave found such an amazing team to capture our union.

en, I found them on Facebook and saw that their cover photo was of my girlfriends and her hubby. That pretty much sold me! Of course, being the kind of person I am, I did do my research and interviewed a few other photographers, but in the end, the value and quality for Sun and Sparrow sold me. Tiffani and Ellie treated us so well. They gave us a very beautiful, stylized engagement session, and the pictures turned out great! It was also good practice for the wedding. A week prior to our wedding, I worked with Tiffani to get our timeline in order and give her the list of "must have" photos. She gave me some great ideas and helped me move the timeline around to make everything fit. On the day of the wedding, they really really took care of me. They had my timeline and made sure I was on track so I didn't have to worry about it myself. They were so energetic, so sweet, so wonderful to work with. All the critical moments were captured, and the photos turned out great. I could not recommend a better team to work with. Thank you for making my day so special!

ons. Not only did the pictures turn out great but Tiffani and Elli are very sweet and great to work with. They made the pictures on the wedding day run so smooth that I never stressed out about getting pictures done in time. They are very sweet and great to work with. I highly recommend them!

! These girls truly have special eyes in catching just the right moments. The photos have been a joy to look through. We get to relive the day in its entirety and that means so much to us. The guys on the video team are great too! I can't wait to see the footage they got. They were all over the place. I can just imagine all the great things they caught on film. We can't thank Sun & Sparrow enough for producing such amazing work and for being such a pleasure to work with through out this whole process. These are really good people and hard working. You can see they take much pride in what they do and care about making each couple happy with the results. We highly recommend Sun & Sparrow for your next event. You won't regret it! We look forward to working with them in the future! Thank you, thank you, you guys!! <3

istry and talent were truly out of this world! We told Winston and Aaron what we were looking for in the beginning and they exceeded our expectations. Our friends and family members keep watching the video over and over and over again. It is truly magical and meaningful, and one of the best presents of our entire wedding. We will cherish it always. Winston and Aaron were also extremely professional, responsive, and such a pleasure to work with! We will be receiving the rest of the items in our video package soon and can’t wait. Trust us, hire Winston and Aaron---it will be the best decision of your wedding!

tars and look at the depth of the expression. When you do this with Sun and Sparrow’s you will notice the intensity of the gratitude and devotion from their customers. Long, detailed reviews that explain exactly how Tiffani and Ellie have made their day even more special and beautiful than they imagined. Their contribution goes beyond gorgeous photos, they're kind and generous contributors to planning the day (and then, its aftermath) who act like friends. But yes, the photos are stunning-- so utterly beautiful that I would still have hired them if they were’t the giving and exceptionally kind people that they are. That’s how important good photos were to me. The fact that they are, in fact, wonderful people, is such a bonus! I stumbled upon S&S looking for venues. The way their website is organized made it a great resource. I realized when I saw other photographs taken in the same locations that I wasn't actually looking at amazing venues but amazing photography. If you are comparing photographers I highly recommend comparing photos taken at same venue. Every wedding on S&S' site looks lush and luxe no matter the location—like a million bucks. This went for brides and grooms too — everyone looks gorgeous, photogenic, at her/his very best, and still with their unique personality shining through. S&S capture everything idyllically — people, nature, architecture, clothing, and decor. They do not excel at one aspect of wedding photography, they excel at all of it. They do have a signature style that sets them apart that is specific to light and and utilization of nature. It was something I swooned over before I was officially their client and one of the elements I was most excited for. Magical, ethereal, crazy-romantic use of natural light for which I have dubbed them “Magical light faeries”. There is also a motif I call “Big Trees Little People” for which I completely melt, a large composition in which a tree seems enormous in the frame highlighted with effortless, stunning sunflare, and then the couple, small in frame but not overpowered, are impossibly romantic. Visit their site to see more recent work as example photos here can be hard to keep current. They are growing as artists always, each time they post a “blog” for a new wedding it’s my new favorite. As for being wonderful to work with, it’s hard to explain the level of service that they provide. Unexpectedly, I ended up sharing with them things that I would never imagine discussing with a vendor... personal stuff that I wouldn't think would be relevant to taking and ordering wedding photos. Perhaps you have experienced this already… weddings have a way of being more complicated and emotional than anticipated. You're dealing with the heaviest themes and issues— Love, family, finances, religion, societal expectations, how we show ourselves to the world and how we interpret our own image— some deep stuff is coming up, and suddenly the way that your “wedding photography” is handled becomes incredibly important. All I can say is that I couldn't have found two people more patient, caring, helpful, generous, understanding, talented, and effective. These women went above and beyond the call of duty and I couldn’t be more grateful.

loves it! It was great to see her get excited about photos she was capturing which then made me and my husband excited! I highly recommend this team! They know their stuff and love what they do! Thank you Sun & Sparrow!

dding even though I wasn't even engaged at the time. Since my sister was getting married first I made sure she used them and her photos came out just as amazing as mine! When it was my turn less than a year later, I couldn't have been more excited. They ensured we were comfortable and happy in any and every pose we did. Everyone knows how awkward "posing" photos can be but not with them. I would highly recommend if you can make it work to have both Sister's photograph your big day. You will not regret it . They are both amazing and have the best personalities. Photography is definitely something you don't want to be cheap with on your wedding day since the day goes by so quickly you need more than one professional there to ensure you can look back and remember every detail about that day. With Sun and Sparrow you won't regret it, when we looked back at the photos we had the unique opportunity to actually relive the moment. Tiffani & Ellie, are the team you want on your side wouldn't have been the same without them!

he moon and back!

sonalities.

able and they went above and beyond what we asked. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out amazing. The photos looked effortless. They were great in directing us in terms of how to pose without making us feel or look uncomfortable in the pictures. Our family and friends were very impressed with the finished products. The album that they made for us is gorgeous. One of my guest raved how great they made her make up look in the photos. I highly recommend them and they try their best to work with your budget.

ork and they work very hard. Highly recommended! Love you guys.

sweet and very funny! When it came down to our engagement photos I absolutely fell in love with them! For the first time I was obsessed with photos that I was in! I knew I had hired the right team! Tiffani worked with me from the pre planning phase up to the day of the wedding scheduling everything we needed. One memory from that day that j won't forget is that I was very emotional and Tiffani and Ellie both pulled me in a room with my dress and just talked to me to calm my nerves and had me take it all in. In that moment I realized they were not just vendors, they really take the time and care about their brides. My wedding photos came out better than I could have ever imagined! I still to this day find new favorites! You will not regret hiring these ladies! They are the best photographers around!

it happen! Their work is stunning (as you can see) and their sweet and kind personalities make the experience of working with them even better. These ladies will absolutely be photographing our future life events and documenting many special occasions to come for my husband and I.

first time we spoke to her and she was very friendly and personable. When we met them for our engagement photoshoot, it was a day of fun. Tiffani and Ellie worked well together. Our wedding day was even better. They truly captured our story. The photos came out beautifully and we love them!. Our friends and family also love them.

ink I looked at our slideshow 50 times. The beauty and art they capture in a photo is stunning. They not only are able to bring such a fun, natural atmosphere to photos, but they really display their care for their clients. My fiance (now husband) wasn't much of a photogenic person, but Ellie brought such a fun and comfortable atmosphere for our photo shoot, that it brought our my fiance's personality and she really captured him and I so well. Sun and Sparrow performs 120% when they work and they truly want to give you the best quality photos. They are professional, they are reliable, and they are so easy to get along with. You will enjoy not only their work, but they people they are. Thanks Sun and Sparrow photography!

d organized. Further, as a bride of color I was interested in finding a photographer that was comfortable and confident in taking photos of various skin complexions. Tiffani and her team exceeded our expectations and is now our staple photographer in our household. We've referred Sun & Sparrow twice now and with each wedding, the photos are breathtaking. Check photography off of your to do list already, it's a no brainer. Especially my Chocolate Brides!

ils were impeccable. Not only were their skills awesome, but they are awesome people to work with. We couldn't be happier.

n & Sparrow had for photographing a couple's true love for each other. We were ecstatic when Tiffani replied to our inquiry that they were available for our wedding date! From the first Skype meeting, we instantly felt at ease talking with Tiffani - she is so warm and personable, and for stressed out brides-to-be, she outlined the entire process to make everything as clear and easy as possible. We first had an engagement session with Tiffani and Ellie - both ladies made what would have been an awkward photo session for us (we're not used to posing in front of the camera for hours!) seriously one of the most fun days of our entire relationship. Additionally, both Tiffani and Ellie are so talented at capturing the photos we knew we wanted, but were so creative at coming up with ideas "on the spot." We brought props with us with no particular idea in mind as to how to use them, but Tiffani and Ellie managed to incorporate them to produce really beautiful photos. On the actual day of our wedding, Tiffani and Ellie came prepared to tackle the big day - we had so much going on, and so many special requests of specific shots we wanted to take, yet they were so accommodating and somehow managed to stay on our tight schedule. The entire day was a blur, but we trusted that Tiffani and Ellie were able to capture everything! When we received our photos, we were truly blown away by how absolutely beautiful and amazing they all turned out. Everything - from our getting ready shots, our bridal party portraits, our ceremony photos to our dance floor shots of all the guests - were perfect and captured all of the love and happiness we felt that day. We are so happy that we had Sun & Sparrow as our photographers, and they gave us the most beautiful pictures that we will always treasure for the rest of our lives!

day. Not only did Tiffani and Ellie capture breath taking, naturally beautiful photos, but they did it patiently, creatively and gracefully. We are so grateful to them for not only giving us hundreds of beautiful pictures from our special day, but we are grateful because they were simply a joy to be around on our wedding day. It felt like they were guests who were invested in our love and happiness, and that feeling is truly priceless. You won't regret hiring them!

ce to what we thought our guests would need or like. Photography was the only item that we thought we were planning solely for us. It was so we can capture the memorable moments from our wedding and relive them for the rest of our lives through our pictures. Sun and Sparrow did not disappoint! They were professional and creative; they produced great quality photos and always went above and beyond expectations. A few things I loved about them that I wanted to highlight are below. -Tiffani was very courteous, professional and organized in every meeting. I always felt confident that I was in good hands. I also really didn't need to do much planning because she and Ellie, having been in the industry a while just always took care of everything photography-related. They would often bring up things that I haven't even considered. Saved me a lot of time and stress. -The engagement shoot experience was awesome. I'm not a girly girl and I'm one of those who get burnt out from taking too many pictures. The 2+ hours we spent with them surprisingly turned out really fun. It was probably one of the best memories I had of our short time being engaged. The pictures also turned out amazing. We ended up with 320 pictures. Their work is consistent so I'll have more details on the quality of photos in a later bullet point. -Our wedding was a whole day affair. We started getting ready at 10 AM, had the ceremony at 2 PM, a tea ceremony at 4 and the reception from 6 to 11 PM. Tiffani and Ellie were with us the whole time and they stayed very professional and pleasant despite the long day. -They dressed appropriately for the wedding. They actually dressed really nicely so goes well with the formal-ish vibe of a wedding. -I liked how I saw them a few times telling our guests to get out of our pictures. I mean I love my family and friends but sometimes they aren't very considerate. I want nice pictures! I also witnessed them say no to some family asking to take more extended family pictures. We were trying to follow a specific wedding timeline so I'm glad they weren't pushovers and they kept our wishes in mind. -We got our pictures a month after the wedding and we ended up with 700 pictures. The pictures were great! They were clear/sharp. The shots were creative. Also, the pictures looked natural. I thought when were were taking portraits that I looked awkward. But now that I'm looking at the pictures, we looked just so us. Our personalities come through and the emotions from the day were just so evident in the pictures. We love them a lot!

oots: a Boudoir photo session for my husband's wedding gift, the actual wedding day, and a Day After photo shoot. These two girls are, in one word, AMAZING. Just one look at the photos and there's no doubt their talent is ridiculous, but they are also kind, funny, supportive and smart, and we are so thankful they were the team to help us capture this time in our lives. And as if the photography team wasn't enough, our videographers, Aaron and Winston, are just as dynamite as Ellie and Tiffani! They did such a beautiful job on our short film that we went back and asked them to create a longer, edited version of the entire day. Not only are they extremely creative, but they are 100% focused on their clients needs, and they were more than happy to work with us to create the most beautiful memory. After going through the wedding planning process, you realize your vendors become team mates, and I would not hesitate to recommend these 4 to any bride.

ion. Our entire experience from planning photo times to the actual day itself was effortless. Tiffani and her team made us feel comfortable, which we know is one of Sun & Sparrow's best qualities. Of course it helps that our engagement photos came out better than we could have hoped. :) Their work and expert eye is exactly what we were looking for in a photographer. They stayed out of the way the entire wedding while still getting all the shot we wanted, a tough thing to master. I would recomend Sun & Sparrow as a top priority in your booking process. Thanks again Tiffani & team!

nal and responsive. Lovely to work with. And we loved our film! I would highly recommend Sun & Sparrow. Great team, magical talent. Truly. I will definitely use them again for other celebrations.

h worked in service jobs, and we were on a very tight budget! How were we going to afford an amazing photographer and not start our marriage being in debt?! And who was still available?! After researching photographers one to another (through blogs, google search, word of mouth, etc.), we were losing hope--we can't afford any of these photographers. But one day, I found a photographer who had an "associates package" and I thought to myself, "hmmph..that's interesting.." I researched on "associates packages" online and found two. Both had incredible work, and both packages fit our budget. And so I contacted both of them, one of them being Sun & Sparrow. Chris and I had set our minds on the other. But I didn't have peace about it. So we discussed again and again, looked at both websites comparing the two. And after about two days, we decided to call the other photographer and cancel with them, and then talked to Tiffani and told her that Sun & Sparrow indefinitely stole our hearts.Tiffani and her crew were so professional, and yet so sweet, and very personal. Chris and I, Skyped with her to discuss terms and she was very clear about everything. And we also loved the fact that they believed that couples who are on a budget should be given a chance to have amazing professional photos, and because of S&S, that was made possible for us. Chris and I had the opportunity to work with their awesome associate photographer, Claudia, who shot our wedding. She was incredible. Throughout the whole six-month-process, she became our sweet friend. Claudia is the definition of a woman who is of precious jewel. When we first met her, Chris and I, knew we were in good hands. She is kind, sweet, gentle, communicated well, a good listener, professional, talented, and just darling! I think what stood out the most about her was that this wasn't just a job, it was something she got excited about and wanted to be a part of. And that's pure gold! Claudia helped Chris and I in many ways possible! She met with us several times including a walk-through at the venue (which btw, she also got married there!), and she also lent us a couple of things we needed for the wedding. What more can I say?! She's the best!! We were so blessed to have Claudia and her 2nd shooter, Katie, take our precious wedding photos!! On the day of the wedding, it was chaos, but Claudia and Katie did a very good job keeping us calm, but also on time, and just allowing Chris and I to have our moments together. I didn't feel like we were being shot by paparazzi. It felt natural, we felt so comfortable, and them taking our photos didn't take anything away from our sweet day. Their instructions were understandable, gentle, and not forced. We felt so confident in what they were doing, we didn't even notice they were there - in the best possible way! We knew they were taking good care of us! Claudia showed us a couple of sneak peek photos from the wedding and what we saw were extremely gorgeous!! And when we finally saw our whole collection--I cried, I laughed, I screamed, and Chris and I were filled with so much joy! It's like we were back there again. They were beautiful. And the photos tell our sweet love story. One we'll love to tell, again & again.

nds and family quickly, and 3 and a half minutes was all we needed to encompass a great day. Would hire them again and again. Took them about 8 weeks to turn over. Very pleased.

get used to having your photos taken, and to get comfortable with the photographers. When our engagement photos came in, we were blown away. I did a lot of upfront planning in terms of where we did it and what we were wearing, but they were great at improvising and picking great shots no matter where we were. There were some things we were unhappy with in the engagement photos, which we explained to them and they were SO great about correcting during for our wedding photos. For example, there were a lot more photos of the bride than the groom, and my groom wanted a 50/50 share. That's one of the best thing about Sun & Sparrow - they LISTEN! I was really nervous that they didn't do a location scout before out wedding, but on the day of they very quickly found the good spots in our photography location. They were good about making us smile and look good. The photos we got back from our wedding were everything we wanted. They were pretty expensive but worth every penny! If you like the style of their photos like we do, I highly recommend them.

ent of the day. She was so detailed and was making sure that we got the shots that I was looking for as well! Her team is amazing and thoughtful. I couldn't have found a better photographer team!

d see how natural we looked. Tiffani was booked our actual wedding day, and because we got married in Vegas we were trying to keep everything as affordable as possible. We had been kind of bummed but then she told us that Claudia their Associate photographer could do it, naturally it was a little scary because she didn't do our first shoot but after seeing some of her other weddings on their website I felt pretty good about it. Claudia was also a little more affordable than Tiffani so it was an added plus. Tiffani left such a good impression on us that we were confident she wouldn't have an employee that wasn't equally as passionate. I met with Claudia a few weeks before the wedding and we instantly got along. She was patient and listened to what I was hoping to get out of my pictures. The day before the actual wedding her and Vanessa scouted Canyon Gate and found places where they wanted to photograph us. The entire day they both did a phenomenal job making me smile, keeping me smiling (serious mouth cramps after a few hours) and also keeping my husband in a great mood. They handled our groomsmen famously (they were a handful) and even my nieces and nephews were laughing for them! The best part was during the actual wedding they actually had fun at our wedding! After their shift ended I told them to stick around and eat some cake and relax. We got to talk a little bit more and really showed me that this is more than a job to them, they really enjoy it. Don't let the word "associate" let you shy away from Claudia, I know once our adoption goes through she will be who I call for a newborn shoot and probably our family photos in the future. Great job Sun and Sparrow!

zing attitudes, always cheerful, never pushy and incredibly reassuring on the wedding day. They were a joy to work with, and I will be using them for future events as well.

just how to put us at ease in front of the camera. We were thrilled at how beautiful and magical our pictures turned out for both our engagement session and our wedding. They absolutely know how to get the shots that you will cherish for a lifetime. We highly recommend their photography team for any important life event.

sts go home, your hair and make up is undone, all of the flowers die, the food and cake is all eaten up -- you get where I'm going with this -- you'll have your marriage, your memories, and photographs to show for it. 2.) My fiancé and I are both artistic types. We knew we needed not just a good photography team, but an unforgettably artistic one. We don't want just some pictures to help us remember our big day, we want art to help us cherish it forever. We didn't have to think twice when we saw Sun & Sparrow's stunning portfolio. 3.) Although we live in Southern California, we are getting married in Juneau, Alaska. Having a photography team that is willing to travel was key in our decision making. 4.) Our experience with Tiffani cinched the deal. Tiffani has been very personable yet professional from our very first e-mail conversation. She has been very easy to get a hold of, flexible, and reassuring which is absolute GOLD when you're dealing with the stress of planning a wedding. 5.) Our engagement session was an absolute blast! The sisters were so much fun to work with and gave us so many great pointers as subjects of a photograph. The photos came out even better than we could have expected and we have LOVED being able to share them with everyone by linking them to Sun & Sparrow's blog. Not only am I excited for them to shoot our wedding but I will be thrilled to see them shoot for any of my friends. I would love to work with them again for another lifestyle shoot if the opportunity arises. I'll be glad to update the review after our wedding in June 2015!

also likely to be one of the highest ticket items in your budget as well as the thing you will look back on for decades to come. We started our photographer search by literally Google-ing “Manhattan Beach Weddings”. As we browsed through Google Images, every photo we were drawn to and really liked happened to be from Sun & Sparrow. They had a design aesthetic that we really liked and their photos were all so unique, really capturing the personalities of their couples. Upon reaching out to them, our first email communications were very positive and when we had our first phone call the chemistry was immediate. We didn’t even interview other photographers once we learned that they were available on our wedding date. Tiffani was amazing throughout the entire process. She asked all the right questions to ensure that all of our photos from the engagement session to the wedding day were uniquely us. She gave opinions and suggestions in a polite way, which we found to be so helpful since we had never gone through this process before. We were not planning on doing an engagement session originally but since it was included in our package we took advantage of it. This was one of the best parts of our photography process. We had the opportunity to meet Tiffani in person and learn how to work together and pose and then see how things look in the photos. This definitely made it so much easier on the wedding day. Leading up to the wedding Tiffani was wonderful. She was so responsive to all the questions I had and kept me sane on so many fronts. Her expertise was pricesless and I wouldn’t have made it through the day without her. Her and Claudia were so professional and great on the wedding day. We got every shot we needed and none of our guests felt like the camera was stalking them. Working with Elli on the actual pictures following the wedding has been so smooth. The process that they have set up to view your photos and album is so easy and convenient. Most importantly, we absolutely LOVE our photos. We have gotten so many compliments from friends and family. We feel like we got every photo we had hoped for, even when we had crazy wind on our wedding day. Sun & Sparrow captured our wedding so beautifully that we are able to relive it every time we look through our photos. We highly recommend them.

. Tiffani & Ellie made us feel so comfortable when taking our photos and also showed they really cared to capture the best moments for our photos.

arrow, we thought we'd just skip the engagement session - I'm so glad we didn't! It was great to have met them and worked with them before the big day, like a dress rehearsal. Of course, the wedding day itself was great too! I love our pictures so much, I have them plastered all over the house. In fact, one of our groomsmen got engaged a few months ago, and he was so impressed with our pictures that they ended up hiring Sun & Sparrow as well! Can't recommend these gals enough!

re engaged a little less than a year before tying the knot, but I believe the planning of one's wedding truly begins in that doe-eyed stage of adolescence. We carry a picture in our head of our most special of days, conceived when the heart and mind are most unfettered. It is a truly incredible feeling to see that picture brought to life, more vibrant in color, sound and texture than you ever imagined. Also incredible is that a day can be captured, forever-unfading, breathing as much as life as the day it was lived. For that, I thank the amazing photography and videography teams at Sun & Sparrow. Their talent is matched by their character. Tiffani and Ellie, Aaron and Winston, made us feel so special, determined to get that perfect shot and/or capture that subtle, but profoundly special moment. Tiffani and Ellie not only took the pictures, but made sure what they were photographing was picture perfect -- even providing and styling décor! They went out of their way for us over and over again, from our engagement session to our wedding (and after!) not as contracted vendors, but as deeply caring friends. Friends and family swoon over the photos, and I have been asked if a feature-film director shot our wedding! The music video, by the way, has been known to be played on loop -- and not just by me. haha! Truly, Sun & Sparrow is aptly named. They warmed our hearts and sent them soaring. The people behind the company are consummate professionals, beyond talented, and profoundly caring. Invest in them, and they will return it over and over again in a way that can not be quantified.

all the little details that didn't even have to do with physically taking the photos-- Tiffani held skype sessions with me until we had hashed out all the little details of our location, my outfit, his outfit, our props... everything. I felt terrible for taking up so much of her time, but she was quick to reassure me that she was there to help, and was SO encouraging to text her at any time with any styling or outfit questions I might have. She would even send me ideas via facebook of things that I might consider bringing with me. I truly felt like their only client-- even though I am sure I most definitely was only one of many! I had originally mentioned to Tiffani that my fiance and I love to go on adventures, my favorite animals are alpacas/llamas, and I wanted a shoot that was laidback and natural. She came up with a PERFECT location-- complete with llamas! On the day of the shoot, Ellie and Tiffani not only made sure that we had a comfortable place to change and get ready, but also took extra time to convert a centerpiece that my florist had designed into a beautiful bouquet --the bouquet that I'd actually requested from said florist in the first place. (Thats a whole other story). But it turns out that Tiffani is also quite a floral designer! It turned out much better than the florist's version! She was also able to pick some wildflowers during the first part of the shoot, and made a gorgeous floral crown that she wove and styled into my hair to complement my second outfit. Obviously, these two go completely above and beyond for their clients. As for the finished product--- I have no words. These are BY FAR my favorite photos that have ever been taken of me. I feel like a movie star whenever I look at them! I am still receiving compliments on how beautiful the pictures turned out. My shoot is "Rameen and Heather: Fairytale Mountain Engagement". Not to brag, but check it out on their website. You'll see what I mean ;) The cherry on top of all of this is that Ellie and Tiffani are SO warm, genuine, fun, and easy to work with. They were never pushy, but always provided enough direction so that we never felt lost for what to do. This team will also be doing my wedding photos, and I have every confidence that everything will turn out just as amazing. In fact, I would never think of ever hiring anyone else to take my (or my family's) photos ever again. Sun and Sparrow has a customer for life =)

. I had originally picked Sun & Sparrow due to the blog postings of disneyland shoots, but as we got closer to the date I felt I may want something different. Throughout the process Tiffani was so patient with me and was there to answer all of my questions. She became more than simply a photographer, but someone who is a friend. She wanted this to be perfect and eased all of my concerns. I wanted to take pictures in an extra wedding dress I had and she was so excited about it!! When we arrived I said I am so nervous my hair is crazy (it was falling from earlier appointment) First thing she said was you look perfect. She said you two are making this easy for me. I just felt so well taken care of. The entire time we were laughing and every part of the shoot was so much fun. She knew I wanted shots by the beach and we did a fun part at the beach near first location. We got all of our photos in 10 days which is madness. I mean they were so quick for us!! Tiffani posted pictures as days lead up and it was amazing to see them. I cried when I looked at all of the pictures. She not only captured beautiful photos, but she captured the love that my fiance and I share with one another. Our friends and family cannot get over the quality and how amazing the pictures are. Tiffani made me a model. I love her so much and if you use anyone else for any of your photographic needs you are nuts!!! We love you Tiffani and everyone at Sun and Sparrow!!! So glad god brought us to you!!!

ve them photograph my wedding. They delivered on my high expectations and were professional throughout. If you are getting married in So Cal - you MUST touch base with them and let your big day be captured by the best.

very reasonable and the pictures taken are invaluable and will be treasures for the rest of our time together. Thank you so much for making our day truly spectacular!

r and let me tell you, as a bride who was planning her wedding in the midst of a crazy cross-country move, getting a new job, and graduating from professional school, I was very stressed and had little to no time to plan the wedding. Tiffani was incredibly understanding and FLEXIBLE with us as we planned our wedding. She utilized all means of communication with us such as Skype, text, phone calls, google docs, and facebook. I was amazed at her ability to communicate with us and provide her insight as we planned our wedding. It is really important you choose a photographer you are comfortable with because you will be spending a lot of time with that person. Tiffani was a perfect match for us. She was enthusiastic, friendly, and honest. Tiffani was also interested in telling our story and I really appreciated that. My husband and I are kind of shy and awkward in front of the camera, but Tiffani made sure we were comfortable and that our special story was told. Before our engagement shoot, Tiffani and I brainstormed for almost an hour or two hours on how to best tell our story. She then even went the extra mile and brought her own props to enhance our pictures! At our wedding, she was an excellent director during our family pictures to make sure everyone knew where they were standing and where to look. It can be a chaotic time for the bride and groom trying to manage their families, but with Sun and Sparrow their to direct everyone, it was VERY stress-free! They were all incredibly professional and made sure keep us comfortable throughout. Also, Sun and Sparrow was a good company to work with because they offered Videography! In terms of cost, I was one of those brides who searched high and low for good pricing AND good skills. I usually found super expensive photographers with good pictures, or really really cheap photographers but a terrible product. Sun and Sparrow was very reasonable in terms of our budget and they produce a HIGH QUALITY product at the end! It depends on your personal wedding budget, but for us, they were PERFECT. I have nothing but positive reviews for this family owned company. Highly recommend!!!!!

ke sure you are picking the right professionals to take care of your long lasting memories. When I was looking for photographers, I wanted them to do both my engagement session and my wedding. It was important to me because I wanted to tell stories all throughout our engagement up until our wedding day. In all honesty, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to put my biggest budget into photography and videography. (Videography was a must in my list). In this specific case, it was important for my husband and I to fund our entire wedding ourselves and just like any of you, we wanted to save as much as we could. I got into contact with Tiffani, one of the owners, and she personally called me, kept in touch with me and took the time to talk to me. After some thinking, I understood that photography and videography were extremely important to me. So I hired Sun & Sparrow. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. As a future bride, they became the mentors and supporters I needed. Before the engagement session, Tiffani closely kept in touch me with through calls, texts, Pinterest boards to find out what story I wanted to tell through our engagement session, and in this case, to continue to our wedding day. She personally made me a flower head band the day before our session, looked for props that I envisioned and put so much extra efforts that made the process enjoyable. Our wedding day was even better. I had the pleasure of having both sisters there, Tiffani and Ellie as my photographers and the twin brothers as my videographers. They came in extra early to check out the place and look for hidden spots; they are constantly looking for more than just a picture shot. These photographers will ask you to describe feelings of what you want to see in your pictures. I mean… come on! They are not looking to just take your pictures but to create something much bigger than that. They want to tell your story and show feelings through their work. They will make themselves look silly and do the split just to take the perfect picture. They will climb trees, go on dirt, roll in mug, hang upside down, and jump in water for that perfect shot. Ok, not literally, but they will, without a doubt, go above and beyond for you. This goes without saying that their videographers are as talented as them. My father in law was actually part of Christmas movie they had filmed before and now, ended up filming our wedding. What a blessing. What I love most about all of this is that, these professional photographers were once an option to me and like what they do best in going above and beyond, they became friends and confidents. They wanted to know how I was feeling; they listened to my stories, remembered the details… because how else of a better job can photographers do if they don’t know you? I will not be the only to say that it was the best decision of my life and for those of you have budgets like I did, remember that you want your photographs to capture your special day forever. If you’d like to see our beautiful photographs: Look for Kethia & Nigel’s fairytale engagement and wedding on their website!

beautiful, but more than that Tiffani was always punctual to all our meetings and very focused on all the details and shots we requested. It was much appreciated and on the day of our wedding, when our wedding coordinator dropped the ball, she stepped up to organize the guests for pictures. Thank you Tiffani and thank you Sun & Sparrow, you really came through for us.

de us feel so comfortable and excited about everything. From the booking to the engagement photo session to the actual wedding day it was great. My husband has a weird photo taking smile and they were able to get him to relax and give a genuine smile at all times. Not once did i see that awkward camera smile, just his natural, amazing smile. They really captured the feel of the entire wedding day and helped it go incredibly smoothly even with the tight time constraint we were under. All of the photos came out beautifully and were exactly what i envisioned. Every detail and special moment was captured and everyones natural beauty really came through in all the photos. There was not one picture i didn't like and it's making it so difficult to choose the ones to put up in our home. The quality of the photo album is another thing to gush over. Everything about it is perfect. The layout, the quality, the material, the thick lay-flat pages. I love looking through that book, it takes me back through the day so perfectly and I can't help but relive the amazing day minute by minute as i flip through the pages. I couldn't ask for anything more. I highly recommend using such great photographers and such friendly people! Thank you so very much again Tiffani and Ellie!

e. Tiffani of Sun & Sparrow Photography was a pleasure to be around the entire day and took amazing pictures for us. While Tiffani is extremely nice, knowledgeable and easy to work with, her greatest asset is an ability to stay calm and organized in the inevitable chaos that is a wedding. We decided against a coordinator for our 200 person wedding and the only reason it went smoothly was because Tiffani was in constant contact with all of our other vendors and relaying questions to us from them. During our engagement shoot which came with our package she really spent that time getting to know us and giving us tips on how to pose for pictures which was extremely helpful for ensuring the success of the wedding pictures. Even if you are not getting married, I would still highly recommend a photo shoot with Tiffani just because it will make every picture you are in for the rest of your life look better. And now for the most important part… The pictures. They are absolutely beautiful, all 2,000+ of them. She really captured the day by getting pictures of all the details of the wedding, pictures of all the major moments and pictures of all the guests. It was somewhat overwhelming when we received the final disk of all the pictures because there were so many perfect ones. It’s been 3 months and I’m still updating my Facebook profile and cover pics with new incredible pics from the wedding. Lastly, we had our wedding in Santa Barbara so in case you were wondering, Sun & Sparrow Photography does service all of Southern California and from what I can tell would be happy to travel anywhere in the world.

er a day, good memory and what you share with all of your family and friends. After all, it is one of the biggest days of your life! When searching for a photographer I had no idea where to start so I got on The Knot and searched local vendors. Up pops Sun & Sparrow so I click on their porfolio and I was blown away! Every detail of every wedding was posted and my god they can capture a special moment unlike any other photographer I've seen! Their editing was so well done and different dependent on every style of wedding. So naturally I picked up the phone and spoke to Tiffani... My first impression was "Wow, she is so nice!" And to top it off we were laughing because she spoke just like one of my best friends. Who doesn't want one of their best friends as their photographer?! Needless to say, I picked her right away! We set up a meeting (although my mind was already made up) to review pricing and go over portfolios. She is so proffesional and willing to make you happy. It's hard to come by good service and she far exceeded! We used Sun & Sparrow for our engagement photos, wedding photos and I also did a Boudoir shoot for my now husband as a wedding present. I have been so happy with Tiffani and Ellie. They make everything so fun and you are so comfortable the whole time! My wedding guests loved them as well! So, words to describe Tiffani and Ellie: Professional Intelligent Fun Hardworking *Could not emphasize this enough* Personable Who doesn't look for all of these qualities when they are trusting someone to document their wedding day?! All in all, I couldn't be happier with their work and I could not rave about them enough! We LOVE Tiffani and Ellie not only for their work, but as friends. We will continue to use Tiffani and Ellie throughout our life's biggest moments! I was a bit controlling when it came to my wedding and I did not have to worry about these girls at all! Do not think twice about who to hire! Pick Sun & Sparrow! Mark my words: You will not be dissapointed! -* A loyal Sun & Sparrow Customer *-

ent session- When it came down to our wedding day- it was spectacular! Sun and Sparrow captured everything to perfection- those moments were captured in time with a story of love to be told time after time! Thank you so much!!!

speak for themselves - we were blown away! Keep your eyes out for some really nice finishing touches when Sun & Sparrow send you your final DVD/prints :) Thank you, Sun & Sparrow, for making a beautiful memory last a lifetime.

ctually felt like my day was as special and important as I did. She spent a few hours with me going through my look book, giving me ideas, asking questions and showing a real interest getting to know me and the feel of our wedding outside of just being hired as the photographer. She cont'd to send links to pinterest pages, checked in with me in the months leading up to the wedding and by the time my wedding day rolled around I truly felt as though I had been blessed with a new friend that I just wanted to be included in my day - And then I met Ellie on my wedding day & felt exactly the same way. As for their photography - Tiffany and Ellie made a scattered bride feel totally at ease, comfortable, so happy to see my husband to be and despite little balls dropping, without saying a word, reminded us that this day was about us, our commitment to God & each other. Then the Tao wonder twins activate! All I can say about these guys is that when I see their names on the big Silver screen one day, I'll be delighted to brag that they brought our wedding to life & told our story in such a cinematic way that captured our love & who we are. To say this team amazing is belittling, to say that they are talented doesn't credit their level creativity & vision, and to say that if you choose any other photography/videography team you'll miss out on a very special blessing on your very special day, is a gross understatement - and they did generously bless us in many ways beyond what they were contracted to do...and I love them for that. I adore them, and the fact that they have become real friends is merely icing on the 4- tier cake.

omfortable and also really helped the photos. She worked with us on what we wanted to achieve for the engagement and the wedding and really brought her A Game. She is always full of energy, positive, and keeps things moving. When we saw the photos she and her team presented, we were just thrilled! Sun & Sparrow also is all about presentation and social media- they're very professional but the most down to earth. In addition, the package of discs we received was gorgeous and we loved seeing the vine videos and Instagram images throughout the whole process. If you are getting married in LA, I would recommend you check this vendor out; could not be happier with their work!!

n charge on my wedding day. I was able to trust their team completely and feel so happy at the end of the day that everything went smoothly. I completely recommend them, 100% you will not be sorry if you do.

impressed with was how creative they got. They got photos that I've never seen from a wedding. It really captured everything that we wanted our wedding to be. Plus, they even let me have some input about some funny pictures I wanted to take with the groomsmen. And, as a guy, the number one thing that was important to me was that it wasn't a drag to take the pictures. It was fun, quick and unobtrusive. They were in and out. Like they were photo ninjas. I really can't recommend them enough.

rs, they are now friends. Tiffani had great advice on everything from how to keep within the theme of my wedding, to helping create a time line of the day, and of course, what amazing photos/compositions/angles we should have. And seriously, your photos will look like they belong on in wedding magazines! Ellie and Tiffani are super creative and resourceful. They are always thinking about the photos and what they could be used for and how to get that perfect angle, even if it means doing a little climbing on their part. When I got married in July of 2011, they showed up to my parents' house and worked non-stop to make sure they captured every moment from the morning mimosas to the last dance. Though I don't know what their prices are now, I can tell you that it is completely worth it. Ellie and Tiffani are amazing people and they truly care about making sure you get everything you want on your big day. I would definitely hire them again and again.

t I was blessed enough to have them there. They truly have the gift of art and seeing exactly what I wanted from my wedding and what I wanted to remember. Thank you so much Ellie and Tiffany, you two are amazing!!!!

looking back at the photos, it gave me a chance to relive it. Everyone kept telling us how great our pictures came out. They had never seen such great pictures!!! I look forward to other photo sessions with Sun and Sparrow!!! Thank you so much Tiffani!!

t I got a good photographer! From the moment I saw their work, I knew they were exactly what I was looking for. I was able to view my pictures a couple of weeks after the wedding. BEAUTIFUL. They captured the whole day perfectly. I definitely recommend Sun & Sparrow photography!!

contacted Sun and Sparrow Photography we felt a connection. The sister team truly care about their customers. They spoke to us like we were long time friends and they always had our best interest at heart. When planning a wedding you are hit with the shock of how expensive it can get. The Sun and Sparrow team are so great with helping you stay within in a budget you are comfortable with. They never once tried to pressure us into spending more money. We felt so comfortable and at ease with them. It's not everyday that you come across people that are so talented, caring and professional. I would recommend this wonderful team to everyone I know !!

ress-free, right from the get-go. They respected our wishes to be simple and casual, yet used their creativity to create some amazing memories that we will always cherish. They are each so artistic and have such an eye for the shots they create. Not only did we get amazing visual and photographic memories of our simple and intimate day, this sister team made sure we had fun throughout the entire time that they were working with us. Their love for their work and their natural enthusiasm and excitement really brought out the joy and excitement in us on that day and we will always be grateful for that. We highly recommend Sun and Sparrow photography for any special occasion!

Their professional attitude, polished presentation, and ability to learn my style to give me just what I wanted was phenomenal! Tiffani is a true go-getter, just the type of photographer you want with you on your big day. I didn't have to think through or worry about a thing -- she moved people around and kept the day going super smoothly. Her eye for detail made my photos just what I wanted, since I put a whole lot of detail into my wedding day. I would highly recommend the girls at Sun & Sparrow for truly any occasion but especially for your wedding.

really are. My favorite photos are the ones that are natural. We are still waiting to see the wedding photos, but the ones that they have shown us are amazing. I know that the engagement shoot was very successful because everyone (especially family) loves the photos and wants copies. I will definitely be considering them for future photo shoots (when we have children.. many years from now).
