Teresa photographed our son Tomer and Deena’s wedding. The ceremony started around 2 PM and ended at 11 PM. Teresa’s photographs made this once-in-a-lifetime event memorable beyond our expectations. She captured not only the big moments but also the small, intimate ones when no one expected to be photographed. Her ability to encapsulate the ambiance of the two different venues was exceptional. Throughout the event, Teresa was easy to engage with and accessible before, during, and after. I am sincerely grateful and highly recommend her services.

Teresa (SnM Media) provided us with a lot of excellent photos of our family at good locations and at a very reasonable price!

She organized us for the photos while also making sure to include all our requests. She edited the photos quickly and sent us more than we expected.

Everyone in our family 10/10 recommends booking with her! Five stars!

Teresa took our proposal photo shoot and was amazing to work with. She was so helpful throughout the whole process and the photos turned out perfect. We are so happy to have worked with her and she captured the moment so that we can treasure it for ever.

I am a service member that had been planning my proposal to my gf for months with limited time. I chose Teresa bc of her reviews and how she spoke about her passion for these projects. She spoke about how she would do everything including scoping out the area prior, show up early, pick a spot that is the best and place a red rose where the best view/lighting will be and she would be close by waiting to capture the moment and then take pics after. She boasted about how the last guy she did this for gave her a review like “if you’re a guy with a ring who doesn’t know what to do with it, Teresa is your photographer.” We had multiple phone calls to plan everything out in detail. When I got to the area I noticed she had tried to call me and sent me a long paragraph of excuses as to why she would not make it but everything was committed so I rolled with it and had to grab some random person in the garden to document the proposal for me and took selfies in the plane after. Furthermore, she had called the garden to have them provide me a refund for her entry ticket and the worker at the front decided to obliviously ask me if I got the photographer’s message, in front of my gf as I am working this surprise.. Lastly, she did not send me my deposit refund until I requested it.

Follow up: after leaving the above review she began to blow up my phone through text and responses to my review, (such as the hysterical display of psychosis below) that speak for themselves. *see pic of original response before she changed it. Reiterating why she couldn’t make it, offering a free service, basically saying that my review is ruining the business she’s worked for since 2009, and eventually questioning my mental state as well as saying multiple times that she will be calling/emailing my military base commander to have me sued for business profit losses due to a review of the truth as I know it and can prove. All of this was unprovoked as I have not responded to anything and I only want to relay this information to future potential clients to ensure that you know who you will be working with. She did not do anything while I worked with her besides talk. I got her venue ticket, photographer form/fee, told her the view I was looking for, and the time to be there. All she had to do was show up at the agreed time to pick the spot and be ready. I understand things happen out of our control and that is okay but these reviews are here to share experiences for informational purposes, not to verbally abuse and threaten the person for sharing their experiences.

If you are a clueless man with a ring in your pocket (like myself) you have found the right photographer. Teresa photographed my engagement pictures in mid February at the Hearst Castle and later on at Moonstone Beach. I am in the military and was struggling to come up with plans for this monumental day. All it took was one call to Teresa for a quote, and next thing I know I have a set in stone location, time, and plan (with backups). She walked me through everything and not once got frustrated with my one million questions. The pictures speak for themselves. My fiance broke down in tears at how good they were with just one glance at them. I would recommend her every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Amazing photographer. She made me the most beautiful maternity pictures. I felt like a model! I totally recommend her. Thanks!
