    Cheryl is amazing to work with!! She did our wedding photos in November and did an incredible job! During the planning process, she listened to exactly what we wanted and we couldn't be happier with the final product. Everyone commented on the day of how wonderful she was. She put us and our guests at ease during the planned photos and captured so many special moments throughout the day.

    Cheryl is a true artist, I love all the photo's she took. Both our engagement and wedding photos were phenomenal, I love love love them! I don't know how she does it but with every shot there is something that just makes the picture pop. For the wedding day, Cheryl recommended going to the beach after the ceremony since we were so close by, the pictures she took are breath taking. I love that for the rest of my life I will have such amazing pictures of such an important day with memories that will last forever, thank you Cheryl! One last thing, Cheryl is so fun to be around, always smiling and laughing really made the photo sessions fun and put us at ease.

    Cheryl is an amazing photographer and simply a very likable, easy person to work with. She is organized, professional, and had a deep understanding of our style and what we visioned for our photographs. She works so well with all the different family members--including kids--and was very attentive to my having two different dads with siblings from different marriages and just the complexities of my family. She was invested in understanding our needs, our hopes, and our desires for these pictures that will forever remind us of our amazing day. Additionally, Cheryl's assistant was also awesome to work with. We have been so satisfied with our pictures, and several of our friends and family have said that our wedding photographs are the best they have ever seen. If you go with Ogden Photography, you will be happy.

    After Googling and Yelping and searching...I decided to inquire further about the photographer that shares the same shop as the florist that I chose (Lily Pad Floral). I browsed through books and didn't realize how beautiful Cheryl Ogden's work was! I also had noooo idea how much patience and creativity it takes to do the amazing job that she did. There were photos that I swear I don't even remember her taking. She has such a sweet and calming demeanor...really made us comfortable, like a friend. After looking at the finished photos, I was amazed that she was in so many places at once during the day and able to create such a wonderful story for our day. A true professional that listens and has ideas of how you will look amazing. THANK YOU

    Cheryl was so great to work with. we are from out of town so she made us feel very comfortable and helped with so much since we were so far away. she was actually recommended to us by someone who lives in Palos Verdes. She took such amazing pictures. She is really good about getting both candid and posed shots. we are so happy with the pictures. she also got them back to us very quickly and her prices are very affordable! She was PERFECT!

    Cheryl was great! She was very flexible, and professional. She took great pictures at the wedding, and yet I hardly noticed her being there. She truly has a gift.

    After looking at several photographers, we went with Cheryl Ogden. As with many of our other vendors, Cheryl was not the cheapest photographer. In reality, she was more expensive than we had budgeted for pictures. However, the photos were important to us because that is what we will have for years to come. We brought this issue up with her, and she was VERY flexible with working around our budget to save us money. She worked out a plan with us to let her assistant leave the reception early during the reception. In addition, she asked us toward the end of the reception whether we wanted her to stay until the end (meaning another hour of her time... and money for us). She let us know the types of pictures she had, and allowed us to make the decision rather than staying and forcing us to pay for an extra hour.

    Even though she was more expensive than we planned, the results were worth every penny! She takes amazing pictures in a combination of posed as well as candid. I loved the different angles and lighting that she used in her pictures, because I don't like pictures that look the same with different people. She did a great job of putting our book together in a way that told the story of our day rather than a bunch of unrelated pictures. Another big bonus is that we get all of the proofs after one year (in addition to the book that came with the package), rather than having to pay an additional fee like many other photographers.

    Cheryl was also great to work with. She immediately picked up that one of the groomsmen hates to have his picture taken. She made it tolerable for him, and ensured that nobody spent too long trying to smile for the camera. She also did a wonderful job of adjusting the schedule on the fly. She managed to capture pictures of an impromptu set of "table wars" our college friends decided to play at the reception (some of my favorite pictures of the reception!).

    I would definitely recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for a photographer - whether for a wedding or any other event.
