I don't feel the need to write a long review for Victoria because I truly think her work speaks for itself; but, I will say Victoria is a joy to have around on your wedding day and...
you spend a lot of time with your photographer so you want to make sure you vibe with them. If you want all types of photos (romantic, trendy, candid, and portraits) Vicotria is the photographer for you I cannot recommend her enough.
Incredible photographer! Victoria captured our wedding and I can't say enough good things about her. From the start she was professional, easy to talk to, and made me feel very com...
fortable.
On the day of the wedding, her and her assistant were both so calm and lovely to be around the entire day. She gives great direction and has an eye for her surroundings and the details that go into a great photo. What I love most is that when I look back at our photos I FEEL like I am at my wedding again. She is an absolute gem and you will have so many amazing photos it's difficult to pick the one's you want to frame.
Hiring Victoria was easily the BEST decision we made for our October 2021 wedding.
I truly don't have enough words to explain how incredible she is!! From the moment we chatted wi...
th her about our wedding vision, she made us feel understood and we instantly connected. We knew it was going to be a perfect fit.
Fast forward to the day of our wedding, and everything was PERFECTION.
She provided direction while allowing us to be ourselves. She made us feel so comfortable while always making us feel so incredibly confident. She is so easy to get along with and made the entire day so incredibly fun! From start to finish, she was so easy to work with and truly made our wedding day feel like a dream. Everyone who interacted with her on our wedding day had incredible things to say about her along with her team.
We are so thankful to have worked with such an amazing photographer - we are so in love with the photos and cannot recommend her enough!
Victoria is amazing. We booked her for our wedding and couldn't be happier with what we have seen so far. She is a delight to work with and made everyone feel so carefree and easy....
She sent us the sneak peak of our album and I loved every single photo, I can't wait to see the whole album.
This review is long overdue, but well deserved. Planning a wedding, there are so many different vendors to choose from and I am so glad we choose Victoria to do our engagement phot...
os and capture our wedding. It was extremely important for us to find a good photographer as they are with you the entire day and capture the only thing you get to keep after the wedding! From the moment I met Victoria, we just clicked. She was more than just a wedding photographer to me. I was so nervous for our engagement photos and Victoria made it a breeze. All of our photos are so genuine and beautiful and arrived to us in a timely manner. I recommend her to everyone I talk to and get so many compliments when I share our photos. So glad we found her!
Victoria is the best at what she does! She did our engagement shoot and we knew immediately we wanted her for our wedding as well. Not only will you end up with beautiful photos th...
at capture your day perfectly, she is also great with people (and our pups!). She had a lot of great advice for us in the planning process and worked seamlessly with our planners and videographers. She's organized and efficient but also tons of fun and knows how to get exactly what she needs from you - especially if you're like us and not very comfortable in front of the camera! Thank you, Victoria! Our wedding truly would not have been then same without you.
Victoria is AMAZING! She's so talented, kind, and professional. We loved working with her. She made the awkward process of taking millions of photos so fun and easy. We LOVE all th...
e pictures. We highly recommend her!!!!
After seeing some of the most beautiful engagement pictures on instagram, I met Victoria for a glass of wine before I began this whole process and I thought- perfect, I’ve met my m...
atch! We must have talked for over 2 hours about all things wedding, and she offered me advice and honest opinions. I instantly felt like I was in good hands and was insanely impressed with her professionalism. Unfortunately, there was a schedule change and Victoria couldn’t be at my actual wedding but she had her associate shoot the wedding instead. Marissa, her associate, was incredible on the day of our wedding and I don’t know what I would have done without her. She was my personal assistant carrying my dress, and the most Zen human ever when my family wanted everyone and their mothers (literally) to join the family portraits. After the wedding, Victoria edited all the photos, and we are obsessed! Everything was caught on camera exactly how I remember it-from special moments to my favorite candids. Her editing takes anything average and makes it stunning. We are so happy with our pictures and the overall flexible experience. THANK YOU VICTORIA & MARISSA!
Punctuality - From my initial email, to our in-person meeting, to our wedding day, Victoria was always quick to respond, on-time and so reliable.
Personality - Victoria felt like...
a friend from the start. She is super sweet and genuine, and makes the planning process such a pleasant experience.
Professionalism - Victoria set the bar high for her professionalism. I felt like she gave advice/planned/communicated as if she was my bridesmaid, wedding coordinator, mother, and photographer all wrapped into one. She was so helpful from start to finish! Our first look photos and photos prior to the ceremony was so stress-free because she had it all planned out and executed it all effortlessly.
Product - I was surprised to get our sneak peeks back within 24 hours and they were to die for! I was so thrilled when we got our full gallery back. The photos were just as gorgeous as I hoped (and knew) they would be. She really does take a variety of photos - some are art pieces, some are family photos, some feel documentary-like. No matter what the feel of the shot may be - they are all stunning!
If you are considering Victoria Gold, do not wait another second. HIRE. HER. NOW. She is worth every penny for the PRICELESS memories she provides through her work.
I discovered Victoria when I was searching for other photographers in the Southern California area while waiting for a response from an out-of-town photographer I had first inquire...
d with. I sent her a message and she responded so quickly! Her enthusiasm for my fiancé and I was truly endearing and she provided professional information from the outset. We had a few lovely email conversations back and forth. While my fiancé and I ultimately ended up with the out-of-town photographer, we knew that we would have been in excellent hands with Victoria and would have received exquisite, classic photos from our special day. I will absolutely consider her for any photography needs I have in the future!
I wish I could give Victoria 10000000 stars instead of just 5. Let me first begin by saying I discovered Victoria by browsing images of our venue tagged on Instagram. There was som...
ething about her photos that just stood out from the rest - and now looking back at my own wedding album, I realize what it was… it’s the story she captures. Her background in photojournalism gives her a unique perspective to translate your love story into images that truly emulate every ounce of raw emotion. I could not be happier with the way our photos turned out - she caught every little detail, every moment, and knew exactly what to shoot without any direction.
Besides the incredible photos, Victoria is an absolute delight to work with. From start to finish, she is quick to communicate, transparent in what she offers, and just a friendly girl with a great sense of humor. She sent me an album of a couple she shot at my venue so I could get an idea of what my day might look like. Furthermore, she made sure to ask all the right questions weeks before the big day and I really felt like I could trust her with my vision. When it came down to it, my husband and I are very awkward and uncomfortable in front of the camera, but she directed us so naturally that it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend.
Let’s talk about the investment piece. If you’re looking to save money, the one place to do that is NOT on photography. Cut back on your invitation suite or opt for the cheaper flatware - Invest in your photography and invest in Victoria, you WILL NOT regret it! I did the research and I do believe she offers more than other photographers for the same price - my package actually included an engagement photoshoot, something that I didn’t see ANY other photographer do. Her guide to planning helped more than any blog out there and 8 hours of shooting plus an assistant had all the angles covered. The final photo suite she delivered was so easy to use that even my computer-challenged mother could figure it out. Victoria was open to working with me when I needed to create a custom package to save a little money and was super flexible when I changed my mind right before the wedding.
As a bride, hiring Victoria was the best decision I made in planning our wedding. As a woman, I’m so impressed by this GIRL BOSS who radiates true talent, professionalism, empathy and above all, realness. She is a rare gem in this crazy industry and she genuinely cares about each of her clients. If you’re lucky enough to find her available on your wedding date, don’t hesitate, just book her (she’s a popular gal!) I can’t wait for you to experience all the magic that is Victoria Gold.
I would 10000000% recommend Victoria! From making us feel so comfortable when we were SUPER nervous for our engagement photoshoot to literally capturing every laughter and tear on ...
our wedding day...she is the best!! Full disclosure... My husband and I suck at taking photos and look like kids smiling when they first get braces, but somehow Victoria was able to capture beautiful moments of us smiling, laughing, and making googly eyes to each other. Starting with our engagement photoshoot, she made the photoshoot so enjoyable and it ended up being a fun date with my then fiance at the Santa Monica beach. On the wedding day she was professional but was still so fun to have there! I cannot express how well she did in helping me relive our wedding day. I was so touched by how well she captured everyone's candid facial expressions when they were crying/smiling during our ceremony to laughing at our reception. The details were also shot beautifully!!! I have now scrolled through our wedding album many many times within the last couple days and plan on doing it many many times more!
Since we are not the most photogenic couple, we were not looking forward to hiring a photography. Thinking about posing for portraits gave us hives. Then came Victoria! Victoria...
quickly put as at ease with her tried and true techniques and the outcome was flawless. We look so natural and relaxed in our photos, we will probably become instagram influencers now. Victoria has an amazing eye for detail and captured the most beautiful photos. She far exceeded our expectations!
Victoria was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Capturing your big day is such an important decision in the whole wedding planning process, so do yourself a favor a...
nd pick this gal. The girl's got talent. There's no question in that. Just look at her Instagram or Facebook. I specifically reached out to her because I loved that her photos showed so much emotion and personality. There was just something about her style that I LOVED. But in ADDITION, to her talent (which again, goes without saying), she is so charming and personable. Just wait until you meet her in person! I sent her this sappy email after our engagement session because I was just so pleased with how everything went. She takes charge and provides plenty of suggestions. You will never feel awkward (which is probably so many people's fear in going into a session/wedding day). She is the type of person that can make friends with anyone on the spot, can make you laugh, and so much more. Our session was so fun and intimate - even my fiancé had a blast!!! I think it takes a certain personality in a photographer to make all that happen. Working with Victoria was so stress-free. Leading up to the wedding day we felt so confident because we had already obsessed over our engagement shoot with her and knew what to expect on the wedding day and were honestly excited to see her again and have her capture our day. She even provided feedback on some timeline suggestions, which was super helpful. On the day of, her and her assistant took charge had everyone organized and ready for each milestone we wanted to capture. She would wrangle the groups, manage oncoming traffic, whatever she needed to do to get things done in a timely manner so that everyone could enjoy the evening. Everyone LOVED her. Fast forward to today... I just received my final gallery and WOW. We are blown away!!! We are so proud of them and could not wait to show them off. We received so much great feedback from friends and family and it's really such an amazing thing to see all of the hard work you put in to this one day,so beautifully captured in memories you can keep forever! I also really appreciated the organization and time she put in to group photos in specific parts of the evening - getting ready, details, ceremony, reception, portraits, to name a few. It made reviewing them feel like we were reliving the day all over again. Thank you for everything Victoria! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.
Victoria shot our engagement photos & wedding last year and as we approach our one year anniversary, I just can't say enough good things about her and her work. Our experience was ...
simply amazing because from the very start (including scheduling, meeting her and then onto our shoots) she made everything so comfortable and seamless. Victoria is a professional with a great and very relatable personality. She makes you feel comfortable from beginning to end and is so easy to be around. She is epically accommodating, knowledgeable and sweet. Your photos are the things that last forever & are a big part of your memories from this day and ours could not have turned out better. Victoria is the perfect person to trust for all of these reasons and comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by us :)
I feel so lucky that I stumbled onto Victoria, it's like I struck GOLD (yes, I did just make that pun)! But seriously, she is amazing. Not only are her photos gorgeous, but she is ...
so on the ball. She knows what poses will make you look best, while still looking natural. My husband is naturally nervous in front of the camera, but you would not be able to tell by looking at her work. She was also fantastic at dealing with last-minute photo requests from family members during the hectic pre-ceremony pictures. She has a true talent, and on top of that, she is just so incredibly nice, funny, and helpful. When everyone was getting ready on my wedding day, she went above and beyond by picking up our ordered platter of sandwiches when no one else could step away. I could go on and on singing her praises-- she is just the best! Hire her, and you won't regret it.
Victoria Gold is amazing. There are no words to even explain how much love my husband and I have for her. By luck, we stumbled across her instagram. My wedding planner RAVED on how...
amazing she was as a person, and as a photographer. So we KNEW had to have her for our wedding. Our pictures turned out better than I had ever imagined. She made us feel so comfortable, yet so natural. She was so easy to work with, and made us laugh. She made sure that all our requests happened. We also had referred our friends who were engaged, and they hired her as well! That is how amazing she is!
Victoria, we thank you for being part of our special day. From this moment on, I will continue to tell everyone how talented you are. Thank you for being so down to earth, and being more than just our photographer. You have been so much more than that!
If I can can give Victoria 10 stars, I WOULD!
Victoria is amazing! Her photographs are incredible (people can't stop complimenting us on them) and she really captured the breadth, depth, and tone of our day. We couldn't ask fo...
r better wedding photos. On top of all that - Victoria was amazing to work with. You obviously want good vibes and great personalities surrounding you on your wedding day and Victoria absolutely helped to keep things calm and joyful!
Victoria is the best! Don’t think, just hire her. Pre-wedding she is amazing and irons out all details you don’t even think of. She and her assistant were with us the entire time i...
n our bridal suite and it felt like girlfriends. She even helped me get into my wedding gown! I mean come on. She takes the most beautiful photos you will cherish forever. She captures every detail. My husband and I have never looked so good in photographs. Plus- she was waiting for us with a cocktail right after the ceremony. Love her. Worth every penny...invest in a good photographer!
Two words...THE. BEST. There just no other way to explain Victoria. Her Insta says she’s “not just a regular photographer...[she’s] a cool photographer”. And that’s exactly righ...
t! Not only did our photos turn out beautifully, but we had THE MOST FUN taking them. We felt totally comfortable with Victoria behind the camera and it shines through in the end result. I can’t tell you how many compliments we get from friends and family. Someone even made a note of how well organized our final gallery was! No detail went unaddressed... I’m sitting here trying to think of what I can hire her to photograph for us next, just so we can hang out with her again!
