Whitney Justesen Photography

fit in perfectly with our rustic-modern, indoor/outdoor wedding in Yosemite, and she was an absolute gem to work with! We instantly connected over email, which is how we did most of our communication since my husband and I are in LA and Whitney’s based in the bay area. She was always quick to reply to my emails and happy to hear my input/ideas, so I knew we were in good hands. Whitney’s prices were a little higher than we had originally budgeted for, but she was worth every penny. And she even offered to do a day-after session for us for free in lieu of the engagement photos that come with all of her packages. Because our wedding was just outside of Yosemite Valley, we really wanted to do a second photoshoot inside the national park, so we were thrilled Whitney offered to do it for free. She was totally down to venture around with us, and we ended up spending most of the day driving around and taking pictures. We opted for Whitney’s Silver Package, which included 8 hours of coverage (starting with getting ready photos and ending with our grand exit.) The Silver Package also included a second shooter, which was very important to us. Whitney hired Nataly Zigdon as her second photographer, and we couldn’t have imagined a better team! Whitney and Nataly fit in with everyone so well they became a part of the party. They were right there with us dancing the night away as they snapped their cameras. Not to mention, they were incredibly flexible and easy to work with. When I suddenly realized we couldn’t do our First Look photos where I had originally planned, Whitney calmly waited while my maid of honor called our wedding coordinator to figure out a new location. She was always around if I needed to grab her. Plus, she made sure we were having a good time the entire night and was careful not to pull us away from the dance floor unless it was necessary. We ended up with over 1,000 pictures of our amazing weekend and I’m still in awe of how perfect they are. I owe Whitney and Nataly a tremendous THANK YOU and I will definitely recommend them to all my friends and family in the future. If you need a photographer… HIRE WHITNEY! (She might just become your new favorite person.)
