Sun and Sparrow did a wonderful, beyond gorgeous, and fabulous job at being my wedding photographer. Ellie was about to capture the essence of my day, the beauty of the garden that we were married in, and the heartfelt emotions. While I was p...
lanning my wedding I combed through many photographers portfolios and websites, and Sun and Sparrow stood out in so many ways! I was so excited when I found out that they could shoot for my wedding. Ellie, the lead photographer worked with me from day one at figuring out my timeline and what type of photos I wanted and where. She had a very in depth phone conversation with me where we went over all the details and made me feel super secure and excited for the day. She was extremely organized and walked me through all the types of photos we could do and helped me choose what would be best for my day. When Ellie showed up on my wedding day with her associate she had such an amazing calmness and peace that she brought to the room. Both her and her second photographer led the way and made my getting ready process with my bridal party so fun and special. They both were able to capture the special moments with me and my bridal party that you can see in the photographs so clearly. Looking for a photographer is not just about “what will the photos look like in the end”, I was looking for someone who would be able to guide me and my husband and help us pose formally, candidly, and romantically. I wanted some formal photos, but also wanted soft loose moments with me and my husband and Ellie captured all these moments. Ellie is excellent with directions, ideas, and encouragement. Ellie wears many hats on the day of and does each job with precision, love, and creativity. She even helped me bustle my dress! She is so sweet! I knew when I chose Ellie that I would have nothing to worry about on the day of. She found the best locations at our venue to shoot, she encouraged me and my husband when we got a little tired, and she truly captured our wedding in most magical, fairytale, dream way imaginable. When I received my photos from Ellie I was blown away. I knew they were going to be beautiful, but her work surpasses that. Our wedding photos came out so gorgeous and captured all the incredible beauty of the garden and all the loving moments between me and my husband! Thank you so much Sun and Sparrow!! You made our day a dream come true!! Best, Cecilie

We know that you are reading this review because you fell in love with Sun and Sparrow’s photos, so let us tell you about how it’s like to work with Elli — As soon as we had our first call with Elli, we knew that we had found our wedding photog...
rapher. She had such a calm demeanor and asked us questions that were insightful in planning our wedding. She was always so gracious with her time and was prompt with her responses. She made us feel like we were the most beautiful couple during our shoots. She was also very gentle with her directions and we always felt comfortable with her. During our last call before the wedding, she helped with our wedding day schedule. We didn’t have a planner, so her advice was incredibly helpful in tying the entire day together. We were also quite stressed during that last week, and although my partner and I were having some disagreements during our call, Elli was incredibly patient with us, understood what our common goal was and helped us reach it. On the day of our wedding, she and her assistant were able to keep us all on schedule and provided a very calming environment. We didn’t feel rushed at any point. She and her team also worked very well with our other vendors and so we were able to enjoy our day without any worries. Elli is incredibly professional in the way she treats her clients. We always felt taken care of and our wedding photographs came out so beautiful. We absolutely loved working with her and are so thankful for all her help throughout our wedding planning process.

When I say we looked into and interviewed SO many photographers for our big day, we are not kidding. We knew we loved Sun and Sparrow’s photography and had to have them. Ellie was our lead photographer on our big day and we could not be more ...
happy with her! She is a GEM and just exudes positivity and good energy. Her eye for detail and all things whimsical is unparalleled and her shots are STUNNING. She was so game for anything that came up and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. We love her eye for movement and candids and got so many great shots because of it. And, just when we were missing all of the magic of the wedding day, she delivered a HUGE sneak peek gallery before the promised day! Ellie, we will never forget how you made our day by working with us (and our budget) to have you on our big day. You say you had a good feeling about us (and we about you!) but honestly, you delivered in more ways than we could have imagined or ever hoped for. We could not have asked for a better photographer (or person!) for our big day. Thank you for making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and capturing all of the big and small moments from our wedding. You are seriously the best and you will forever have a special place in our hearts. We love you :)

I have used Tiffani and Sun and Sparrow for numerous photo shoots over the last three years. I love her so much as a person and a photographer. She is a truly special person with a huge heart and incredible eye for style. Every shoot she does t...
ells a story. It is an honor to have her capture ours. We have had two babies in the last three years and are expecting a third. She has done 2 maternity shoots for us, two newborn shoots where she has come to my home as a new mom and arranged beautiful flowers, lace, swaddles, everything, numerous mini family shoots, and even my one year olds cake smash photos, and I look forward to many more with her. My husband hates having pictures taken and is very self conscious but always says how comfortable Tiffani makes him feel. She keeps things calm and comfortable, even when trying to take photos with two toddlers. She is very fair with price and offers great packages. Every time I share photos on social media from shoots with Sun and Sparrow I get multiple comments on the photography. Tiffani is an artist and a true professional! I could go on and on! My only regret is not having her be a part of our wedding (I only discovered her after).

I was thrilled to work with sun & sparrow for my dream wedding photos. Unfortunately, due to COVID, I had postponed my wedding twice and then ultimately had to cancel. My husband and his entire family/groomsmen are all from Australia and there ...
is literally an international travel ban and no one would be allowed to travel to the US in the foreseeable future. My husband and I ended up having a small ceremony in a local park bc we couldn't wait any longer to start his immigration process due to expiring Visas. Sadly, with our dream wedding cancelled (we are almost a year from its original scheduled date already!!) we decided to start a family and have been blessed. My wedding venue (Calamigos Ranch) was AMAZING and super accommodating. They apologized we had to experience this hardship and refunded our deposit in FULL, no questions asked. The florist is refunding our deposit, as did our bakery and The Black Tux suit hire and every other vendor- EXECEPT Sun & Sparrow. Mind you that they did not perform a single ounce of work for us- and are still keeping our deposit, all 3 of them. Not even offering a partial refund. I would understand if they spent any time or energy aside from sending an email or two on our wedding- but it's so tonendeaf and insensitive not to work with customers who have been affected so personally and tragically by COVID. I get it- every small business is hurting- but mind you they are receiving stimulus and Government aid to help with situations such as these. Honestly- just disappointed at the lack of understanding/empathy for a couple who had to make one of the saddest decisions to cancel a wedding, unwillingness to meet in the middle, and for being so tone deaf.

sical shots - we were immediately sold. Tiffani and Ellie were amazing to work with. They are the sweetest, nicest people ever, but also very professional at the same time. Doing a day of timeline was extremely helpful to share with our other vendors. The best part was that many of our other vendors followed their lead for the day's scheduling because they are so experienced. Tiffani and Ellie helped us feel so at ease by helping us pose and come up with great suggestions for photos. The best part was that we didn't have to think at all during our wedding, just follow their instructions, and we came out with the most beautiful photos! They were in general just so caring and sweet during the whole process, even helping me hook up my bustle at one point because none of my bridesmaids could figure it out. Really recommend doing engagement photos with them as well to get a feel for their style and to start developing the relationship! The quality of their work speaks for itself, but they are also just amazing human beings. HIGHLY recommend them!

m. Throughout the whole booking and planning process Tiffani was extremely helpful in giving tips on how to plan, referrals to other vendors if we ever needed it and was very responsive to emails. When the wedding was almost here we had a long phone call with Tiffani who helped us create our day of timeline and she really worked with us to get a feel for how we want our wedding to be captured and remembered. We ended up using the time line we created with her to give to the other vendors and our day of coordinator as well. On the day of the wedding Tiffani and her crew showed up early scouted the area and led the day capturing all the moments we wanted. They were very professional, and accommodating to the bride and groom and even had to deal with rain all day but we still got the shots we wanted! We got a Canvas of one of our favorite photos as part of our package and it arrived in a great condition, shipped from California to South Carolina. It is also a very high quality Canvas piece that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Overall we were very happy and pleased with our experience with sun and sparrow photography and would highly recommend them to any of our friends and family if they need photographers for any occasion.

ations! Tiffani from Sun and Sparrow was awesome right from the initial phone call! I felt very comfortable after speaking with her that I didn't even contact any other photographers. She was great at working with our wedding day coordinator and all of the other vendors to create the best timeline for our day. One of the things I most appreciated was Tiffani's recommendation to have a first look, especially because our limited time for photographs would've made it difficult to squeeze in pictures with my husband and I, as well as family pictures. The first look was one of my favorite moments! It really helped to ease any nervous feelings! Throughout the entire day, Tiffani and her assistant really helped us feel comfortable as we took photographs. I don't consider myself photogenic at all and typically dislike the way I look in pictures. However, their guidance and photography style really worked for me and my husband and we loved our pictures! I highly recommend Sun and Sparrow to capture one of the most special days for a couple!

obvious from the website and blog that they are incredibly talented, the quality of their work is just one of the many reasons why we love Tiffani and Ellie. Tiffani is incredibly organized and patient—she answered all of our many questions in detail, and her experience really showed in her responses. She also helped us plan out the timing of our wedding day in detail, to ensure that we would be able to get all of the photographs we wanted. Tiffani and Ellie are both very knowledgeable about the entire wedding planning process and had great recommendations for other vendors. Tiffani also took on the extra role of calming my nerves when we faced a few unplanned scheduling hiccups on our wedding day; she expertly redirected my attention from focusing on little scheduling details to the big picture of having all of our loved ones close by. Luckily, with her intervention, I was able to relax and actually enjoy the day. Ellie similarly had a very calming presence and made sure everything ran smoothly. Tiffani and Ellie each have a unique artistic eye, and they made all of our photo shoots fun and easy. They encouraged us to just be ourselves, and we loved the results. We are incredibly happy with our pictures, and we are enthusiastically recommending them to all of our friends who get engaged and/or have babies. We will definitely be turning to Sun & Sparrow again in the future when we have our own little ones to photograph.

And though I never met Tiffani's sister, Ellie's editing skills really gives the Sun & Sparrow signature touch - which just so happens to be what I love! -- the light, nature, greenery and spotlighting all the details details details.

e beautiful rings, the photos are basically the only thing you get to keep from your wedding. This is my way of admitting that yes, I was incredibly picky (some would say difficult) when hiring a wedding photographer. A quick comment on their style, since most of my review is on their personalities: Sun and Sparrow has a beautiful, ethereal quality to their photography. It is simultaneously soft and dramatic. They strike this balance elegantly. They treat photography as an art— they capture special moments between friends and family, and tender romantic moments between the couple so effortlessly. If you’re looking for the most stunning wedding photos, look no farther. Before we signed the contract, we wanted to meet our photographer in person. We met with Tiffani at a gastropub, and had an awesome night hanging out and trading stories. We felt like were old friends, and she made us feel so comfortable in our decision to hire her. When we did our engagement session, I was worried about the gloomy, overcast weather, but Sun and Sparrow turned dreary weather into a dream. Taking photos can be intimidating—Tiffani made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and gave us really great advice on how to let loose. (As an aside, if you’re on the fence about doing an engagement session, you definitely should. It really does prepare you for your wedding when you have a photographer around all day, lightbulbs going off, and other wedding-day chaos). On our wedding day, Tiffani and Ellie arrived just as my bridal party and I walked into the venue. They were dressed so elegantly, and looked like they were guests of our wedding (by the way, they’re so much fun I would have invited them anyway!). They brought a petty hanger for my dress, and knew exactly how to choreograph our getting-ready photos. Ellie even demonstrated remarkable patience for my groom and his best friends, who insisted on getting a photo of them in their matching MeUndies. To be honest, most of the day was a blur, but Tiffani and Ellie were such an incredible team to work with. At one point, one of them turned into my hair stylist, because dancing had caused my hairstyle to fall. We’re so thankful to have hired such an inspiring duo of sisters! We enthusiastically recommend Sun and Sparrow photography.

ers. After looking at several vendors and the quality and type of work that they produced we narrowed our choice to these awesome group of ladies. They were responsive to all our requests and they actually had the unique ability to predict ahead of time what we wanted them to do as they do not need a lot of explanation on what we envisioned the photographs to be. We were just in the same wave lengths as them or maybe because they were just talented and artistic plus very perceptive to our wishes. We have to be honest that planning a wedding is not easy especially because we chose not to have a wedding planner because we just wanted to make sure that we will have a first-hand say on each aspect of the wedding and wanted everything to be perfect. It helped to have the right people to help out with the details but to me the photographers were the most crucial part because if a person is to memorialize all the hard work, expense and details only the best photographers have the capability to do that. We highly recommend Sun and Sparrow photography. They did an amazing job!

If your having a hard time deciding on Sun and Sparrow as your vendor, just take a look at their website. Engagement photos are stunning! Wedding photos are amazing! To me photos are one of the most important things to spend money on. You want ...
quality stuff! These photos will be shared to family and friends. Also, looked at in later years. I have friends who I've never scene their wedding photos because they were not pleased and they were the ones who advised to make sure to be picky about your photographer. I am so blessed that I was able to have them as my photographers. Anthony and I used them for engagement and wedding photos. My husband is shy and hates taking pictures. You would never tell by looking at our photos. I don't know if its just me but he looks like model! Tiffani energy and talk through while taking photos made us so comfortable and we were so present in the moment of love. She really captured that. I love looking at our photos (I mean, often) Not only did she capture us all lovey dovey but also the atmosphere. Every picture has such a romantic feel! Every time I look at them I get the amazing feelings all over again of such a special day.

In all the weddings I've attended or been a part of, I don't think I've ever seen a team work THIS hard to guarantee that we got every shot/pose we could dream of. Seriously. They are PROS.

experience. But when Sun & Sparrow came into my life that all started to change. They were really the first vendor to made me feel like my fiancee and I were important to them, not just a source of income. They spent a lot of time with us, not just helping to design our shoot, but to structure the flow of our wedding day itself. To top it off their photography is amazing. I never felt so handsome, and I really felt like the captured my fiancee and my essence really well, allowing her and I to be in the moments together in our photography without forcing moments on us. Tiffani made us feel loved, and important through every step of the process. I must say I was extremely shocked when I saw our photos for the first time because they seemed so ethereal and really were the definition of "a moment captured in time." Honestly, I would gladly work with sun and sparrow for future events, family shoots, etc. I have never felt so at ease in front of the camera, and Tiffani and Ellie really helped keep me calm, cool, collected and looking good on my wedding day.

Ellie from Sun & Sparrow shot our engagement photos in March of 2015, and our wedding last February. I can definitely say that my (then fiance) and I had a blast at our engagement shoot, and felt comfortable as we were encouraged to be natural...
(meaning bouts of pure silly energy in between solemn romance) as we adventured on cliffsides and climbed trees and rocks and whatnot. Ellie used our surroundings to tell stories about who we are as a couple and accentuate our connection, not only for our engagement shoot but at our wedding as well. On our wedding day, Claudia joined her as a 2nd shooter and together they took care of all the details--from my dress and accessories, to drinks and gifts before the ceremony, to the setup of the venue, to our giant (and somewhat rowdy) wedding party. We didn't necessarily know what we wanted specifically, and I can definitely attest to indecision; so, my husband and I are especially grateful for Ellie's ideas and creative initiative per where we would take our wedding party & family photos, how to set up our first look, and other quandaries including the potential for rain. Ellie & Claudia humored us by taking the silliest of pictures per our request and therefore helped capture our personalities and the personality of the wedding itself (reassured that even the handful of ridiculous photos are still just as stunning in quality, with great compostion, lighting, and editing). Ellie really helped us figure out what we wanted and needed in our memories of the day, and together her and Claudia accomplished everything in a timely manner without making anybody feel too pushed or stressed out. They are wonderful people whose hard work and passion I'm very grateful for.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The ladies of Sun & Sparrow Photography are more than just photographers. I would call all of them amazing, talented storytellers, who create stories through the art of photography. Chris (my husband) and I were getting married in 6 months! Bot...
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.

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.

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.

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!

Looking for a wedding photographer may be one of the most overwhelming tasks in the wedding planning process. There are so many, how to you choose? Friends will try to get you to use their photographers and everyone will have an opinion. It is ...
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 *-

Sun & Sparrow are supper enthusiastic, accommodating. Having them at our wedding was more like having friends at our wedding. Tiffani was a huge moral support for my fiancee while she anticipated my arrival from overseas. The photographs really...
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.

I'm not even sure where to begin to properly explain to what degree this super-sister team blessed our special day. I want to start by saying that from the moment I first met with Tiffani, for the first time I actually felt as though someone a...
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.

From the moment we met with Tiffani at Sun & Sparrow, I knew she would capture our wedding exactly how we wanted to remember it. She took the time to really get to know my husband and me before our engagement session, which made things really c...
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!!
