I Heart My Groom

Felicia and Maddy are the best for 2 reasons:
1) They do beautiful work. For our wedding, they did video and created a killer trailer and awesome full length video. They even did some cool stuff with 35 mm film. They really captured the spirit/​vibe of the wedding in both the actual shots as well as the music. They also provided me with the uncut video on a USB stick — so I have the full length speeches and dances. Additionally, they photographed 2 of my friends’ weddings in SB and both of the brides were thrilled with the photos.
2) They make the entire process so enjoyable. They are 2 of the most pleasant people to be around. They are fun and outgoing but not intrusive at all. Emotions can be a bit high on the big day and they always handle it so well.
I couldn’t recommend them any more highly.

The dynamic duo! I first met Maddy and Felicia at a bridal convention in Santa Barbara and knew right away they were the photographers we were looking for (I literally spent 10 minutes admiring the images they had out on display, then at least double that chatting away with them). Not only are they outgoing and SUPER FUN, but they are extremely talented. We hired them to shoot our wedding, but before then, they took our engagement pics. WOW. Perfection. Have you ever cried looking at an image (in a good way HAHA)!!! Our engagement pictures were flawless — they knew where to take us, what time to go based on light, worked around our schedules to line up the shoot, suggested the right clothing and props, and nailed the «vision» I had for our shots. POW! Needless to say, over the months between our engagement shoot and wedding, we kept in constant contact. And, as our wedding approached, there was not one ounce of concern as to how they’d handle our big day. In fact, on our wedding day, they were the «calm» I needed amongst the chaos of the day. They were always smiling, directing us on how to pose, etc., ensuring all our ‘must have’ shots were taken (timing everything to a T), making us laugh, and looking for creative ways to bring our wedding to life in the images we received. If you have the ability, I would HIGHLY suggest doing their photo booth — it was SO much fun and went so smooth. At the last minute, my husband and I decided we wanted to hire a videographer, so we asked Maddy and Felicia for a suggestion. Well little did I know, THEY DO THAT TOO! Like I said, they are the dynamic duo! We just received our wedding pictures and — as we knew — they are PERFECT. Again, I was in happy tears ;) I look forward to working with them for eva eva. Love you two, and THANK YOU again for everything you do/​did for us!

I have had the pleasure of working with this team many times now. I have to say that they are very fun, creative, and very professional.
With that being said, my wife and I hired them to shoot our family for the holidays. Of course, just what we expected… TOP NOTCH. Everything was perfect. We walked away having a lot of fun. Shortly thereafter, we received our pictures from the session and they were way better than what we expected. The pictures were absolutely phenomenal.
Can’t wait to do it again.
If you’re considering hiring this duo for your next event, let me remove all doubt, if they have your date available… BOOM THEM.

I hate being on camera and I hate PDA, so I was scared to do an engagement shoot with my husband. Maddy and Felicia immediately made it a calm and FUN experience. We did photography and videography at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. The photo/​video turned out so amazing! I only wish I had my wedding in CA so they could have been my photographers!
Do not even hesitate to hire these two awesome ladies!

Bottom line: awesome
We had maddy shoot our little boys one year and she did an amazing job. As with any baby you have just seconds to get any shot and as a photographer myself I can say that this girl is the real deal. She knows her equipment really well and was constantly one step ahead of the kid to really maximize the time we had… because there is always the impending meltdown.
I am happy we paid to get a pro — and a very sweet girl to boot which makes everything that much easier

It was a pleasure having I Heart my Groom photograph our wedding. Their work is absolutely beautiful and we feel so grateful to have found them!
If you are looking for photographers with great attention to detail — DO NOT HESITATE! They are the ones :)

Amazing Photographers! If you are look for great wedding/​engagement photos or anything really, look no further! So professional and so fun! We will definitely be calling them to do a shoot when we are having a baby!

Feli and Maddy are amazing! We were extremely blessed when we won their WIN A WEDDING contest! My husband and I are so thankful for all of the engagement photos and especially all our wonderful wedding shots! They are so accommodating, professional and comfortable. From the first look to the send off they are there capturing everything! They have great ideas but do not force you to do anything but trust me you will want to do what they suggest. So happy with the results!!! Their pictures fill the walls of our home! We will definitely use them again when our family begins to grow… we love you guys but pray that won’ t be for a few more years!
Thanks for capturing our special day!
Love,
Kristina & Anthony

My (then) fiancé and I hired I Heart My Groom via Living Social and after our engagement session we knew they had to photograph our wedding. I really can’t say enough amazing things about these two because they are the whole package. I have sent a handful of couples their way because they are amazing at what they do, are incredibly lovable and super professional. They took care of my husband and I and I could not be happier with the way our photos turned out. We just love them!

Maddy and Felicia are two of the most incredible people (not just photographers) that you’ll ever meet. They went above and beyond for us, contributing ideas for the wedding, calming us down when we were stressed out (haha), always putting us, our families, and our guests at ease.
Their work is fantastic to boot– they excel at capturing authentic moments without it seeming overly cheesy or stressful. They noticed right away that before the actual ceremony, my wife and I needed a minute together to collect ourselves. They asked if it was alright to stage an intimate moment with just the two of us, where I saw her in her dress. I thought it sounded like a beautiful idea. And it was. We were so happy to have that moment together, taking a minute to remember what was important about our wedding… us being together.
Our wedding was an incredible day– we had so much fun with the people we love, and I don’t know if it could’ve gone as well as it did without I Heart My Groom.

My fiancé and I bought the groupon or living social deal for a one hour photo shoot with Maddy and Felicia and had the most wonderful photo shoot with them last week. Neither my partner nor I enjoys being photographed, AT ALL. That said, both women were really friendly, funny, and great at making us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. We were up at the dog park above Hendrys for a beautiful but freezing evening, and the photographers made it such a great experience. As we got in the car to go home, we both remarked how impressed we were, and now can’t wait for the photos! I heart my groom is a really wonderful business that definitely deserves your consideration if you’re starting to think about your wedding!

We hired Maddy and Feli (I heart my groom) to photograph our wedding last weekend. I can’t say enough good things about these girls!
They were very professional throughout the entire process. They met with us numerous times to talk about the plan for the wedding day, what photographs we would like, and to discuss any other needs we had. At the wedding they were unobtrusive, but able to capture everything. Maddy even came up with a few ideas for the wedding that we would have never thought of!
They were absolutely wonderful, professional and talented!
