    Incredible Photographer and Gorgeous Photos

    My husband and I worked with Whitney initially for our engagement photos and we had such a fantastic experience that we asked her to shoot our wedding as well. She was so nice, responsive and wonderful to work with! It can be a little nerve racking and awkward to take engagement photos and Whitney made us feel completely at ease, gave us great direction, and picked wonderful locations to shoot. She also did an awesome job organizing our families and wedding party to get all the shots we wanted. Our engagement and wedding photos were so beautiful and we can't recommend Whitney enough!

    Simply the Best!

    We were lucky enough to have Whitney capture both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Whitney has such a natural talent and is able to truly capture the love between those within her photos, whether it be in candid moments or with guided posing (which I am very thankful for!), her final products are tangible memories worth cherishing for a life time. One of the other reasons I was drawn to Whitney is her light and airy editing style, which highlights the beauty of what she has photographed, rather than taking away from it with harsh contrast, saturation or unnecessary flashy editing elements.

    We used Whitney for our engagement and wedding photos and couldn’t be happier. My husband was extremely camera shy and she was able to coax him out of his shell. She was very easy going, and always went out of her way for what she knew to be the perfect picture. She knew the right angles, poses etc.. to make us and the photos look great. Her team at the wedding was professional, timely and did a wonderful job of capturing our day. They handled children, family and partying guests with ease and a smile.
    We can't stop looking at our photos! Hire Whitney - you will not regret it!

    Whitney is incredible! Not only does her photography skill/style rock, she is the sweetest and most flexible vendor I hired! We booked Whitney for not only our wedding day but our engagement shoot as well. Initially, I had scheduled an engagement shoot for the beginning of January but because of weather constraints, rescheduling was a must. It was so easy to communicate with Whitney and instantly book the next clear sky day. I highly suggest the engagement shoot since you can learn/understand/feel what its like to be in front of the camera before your BIG day. Whitney definitely knows great places to shoot in the Santa Barbara area! I can't believe how gorgeous the backdrops are within my photos!! On the day of the wedding, Whitney arrived on time and shot plenty of frames of myself and the girls. The boys were getting ready elsewhere and Whitney's 2nd photographer was there to capture that too. We had both Whitney and her 2nd photographer at the venue to photograph our wedding party as a whole and to photograph our first look before the ceremony. Throughout the entire day, the two were ready to take any shot that showed true emotion/action. As an end result, we have beautiful pictures to remember our wedding day.

    We booked Whitney early for family pictures over Thanksgiving and I'm so glad we did! My husband is a photographer (hobby) and was so impressed with her talent with lighting and editing. I'm amazed at the quality of the pictures. They are just so beautiful!
    She was so professional and came prepared with puppets to entertain our little ones during the shoot. We were at the beach and ended up in the water at the end of the shoot. While holding my 2-year-old, and playing in the waves, I tripped and both of us went down. Whitney chose not to photograph it, despite my mother-in-law encouraging her. Thank you Whitney for your professionalism and talent!

    We were so lucky to have Whitney photograph our wedding. She truly is incredible in every way. A few months before our engagement she had taken photos of our family at the beach and we absolutely loved her style, so when it came time to find a wedding photographer, we knew who we wanted to ask. We couldn't be happier in our choice - the pictures turned out beautifully and Whitney was a warm, calm presence throughout the day. I would also suggest taking engagement photos with Whitney - again, they'll turn out wonderfully and feeling like we had already gone through a practice round helped us relax on the day of the wedding.

    Whitney and her assistant photographed my daughter's wedding last month, the rehearsal dinner as well as did their engagement session. INCREDIBLE photos to treasure! My heart sings with joy every time I go through the albums. So many great shots - how can I possibly choose! We could not be happier with the entire experience start to finish. The photographs captured so many perfect moments...and moments I didn't even know were happening. Whitney has a way of being practically invisible to the entire day. She has a quiet manor and was flexible with the flow of the day. She has a great eye for composition and use of light. Her technical ability matches her artistic skill. She and her assistant were willing to stay an extra hour into the reception on short notice. Five star all the way. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.

    Whitney Turner Photography's reply:

    Thank you Lynn for such a kind review! You and your family were a pleasure to work with and I am incredibly honored to have been a part of such a special day for Alli + Rhett. - Whitney

    Whitney photographed my wedding this June along with her assistant. The whole experience with Whitney from the beginning planning stages to the very end down to the proofing process was above and beyond. Whitney was so easy to work with and so professional and extremely flexible! Her pictures turned out beautifully and I couldn't have been more pleased. She definitely has an artistic eye and is skilled at capturing the important moments and details. I would definitely recommend Whitney to anyone looking for photography for their special occasion. You won't be disappointed!

    Whitney was amazing! She came into our very intimate wedding group and blended in seamlessly which allowed her to capture so many beautiful moments that didn't feel over-composed or contrived in any way. Her photos turned out beautifully and she truly captured the vibe of our very special day.

    We were so fortunate to have Whitney as our photographer for both our engagement session and our wedding in October!! We are camera-shy people, but she made us feel very much at ease, and we love the natural style of her photography. None of her shots feel posey or forced. Whitney was friendly, professional, and made us feel very comfortable. We'd love to work with her again someday! Highly, highly recommended!

    Whitney and her photography work is amazing. She was able to agree to photograph my wedding on short notice and the pictures came out absolutely beautifully. Not only is she a skilled photographer, but her presence and demeanor throughout the day was perfect - she was a pleasure to be around and added to the joy of my special day. Her work is top notch - the lighting and locations she chose were perfect. I can not say enough about her and her work - she is fabulous and I highly recommend.

    Whitney is truly a great photographer, it was a pleasure to work with her! She captured every single moment and detail of our wedding..things I, the bride didn't even think of! It was wonderful to look back on the photos and see how she really captured the vibe of our wedding and our love as a couple. If you want a wedding photographer who is very talented but also loves what they do and makes you comfortable hire her!!!

    I would and have recommended Whitney Turner to a number of people. She is a joy to work with and makes you feel relaxed and happy in front of the camera! She is very reasonable and quickly gets the pictures back to you. Whitney is so talented and I was over the moon with the quality and quantity of the pictures I got.

I would HIGHLY recommend using Whitney as your wedding photographer. She gave us the most beautiful photos of our wedding and we couldn't be happier. Well worth her rate and more, I would hire her again in an instant.

    Whitney and her assistant, Ryanne, were great to work with for our wedding! They got a lot of awesome shots and were super professional! I had to plan my wedding from overseas so one can imagine the difficulty contacting vendors, especially with the time difference, but Whitney was really accommodating to all of this. She also responded quickly to any questions and comments. Style wise, I was looking for whimsical, "The Knot"/wedding-magazine type pictures and that's exactly what Whitney offered. I'd definitely recommend her!

    Whitney did an excellent job shooting our wedding. She was professional and made us feel as if she wasn't there. Also, she stayed longer then originally planned but it was worth every minute. Our images turned out amazing and she did a great job of capturing our wedding day.

    Whitney was absolutely amazing! She understood exactly what we wanted and the photos turned out amazing. The pictures were not cheesy at all, she has such a great eye for a beautiful photo. There was not one picture we did not like. Whitney was such a doll to work with, she is so sweet and will continuously make you laugh. We will definitely hire her again in the future for baby photos, etc....
    We LOVE Whitney Turner photography!!

    Whitney was fantastic and gave us exactly the service and photographs we were hoping for. Our favorites are the candid photos where she was able to really capture our joy and sentiment in the moment. Whitney also accomplished the nearly impossible feat of getting the Father of the Bride to SMILE. Every time we look through our photos we laugh and cry all over again.

    Not only do the photographs bring back amazing memories, but we are so honored to have had Whitney as a part of our day. She was engaging and energetic and brought out the best in each of us. We look forward to having her capture many milestones to come.
