MALIBU WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: CHRISTINA + TREVOR
Venue: Adamson House | Location: Malibu, California
I have heard so many people say they were disappointed with their wedding photographer. This makes me so sad, because I was so incredibly happy with my choice. I cherish my photos and love every one of them. We got over 900 shots of our wedding and there isn't one I don't love. Adam and Amber were so confident and so easy to shoot with. They were so quiet I had no idea they were even there, and when we got our photos back, I was shocked he even got the footage he got, because I didn't even see him! Some photographers can get all up in your business, he was so respectful, yet somehow, got the shot! I am so happy with our choice in Embrace Life! They were so easy to work with, quick to get our photos back and cool people to work with! =) We Highly Highly Highly recommend them for your wedding!!MALIBU BEACH PREGNANCY PORTRAITS
Location: Malibu, California
Adam shot our pregnancy pictures and did an amazing job! He was so incredibly patient with us and our ideas. I was close to 9 months pregnant at the time and Adam was very conscientious of that! After the shoot, he was extremely attentive to any emails and always responded promptly. We will definitely be going back to him for future shoots.MALIBU FAMILY PORTRAITS
Location: Malibu, California
Adam captured our family beautifully in a special seaside shoot that he worked with us on. Highly recommended!
SHERWOOD COUNTRY CLUB WEDDING: ALISON + JOE
Venue: Sherwood Country Club | Location: Westlake Village, California
Our wedding photos are AMAZING!! Adam and Amber were truly the best. They were professional, attentive, and flexible to meet all our requests and family needs. The photos capture so many special moments from throughout our day - they are the best gift ever! I highly recommend Embrace Life Photography!SIMI VALLEY PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOT
Location: Simi Valley, California
Adam created a beautiful portrait of my daughter for her work photo and business cards. I ordered a copy for myself because they came out so nice. The print was beautifully presented in a tissue lined box to keep it safe. Thanks for the exceptional work!
LOS ANGELES WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: VEE + OLIVIAN
Venue: MountainGate Country Club | Location: Los Angeles, California
Adam and Amber were an amazing team. They were attentive, friendly, and professional. On our special day, I felt like they were a part of our family and not just guests. All our wedding pictures were worth keeping. I would enlarged all of them if I could but there would be no room on the wall to put them. They were gorgeous pictures - with great lighting and set ups. Everyone looks amazing. I truly love all the pictures they took for us. Initially, we wanted to save some money with the wedding and did not get the engagement photo, but boy, now I wish we did get the engagement photos. Maybe baby photos later instead?WEST HOLLYWOOD WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: RACHEL + ANDREW
Venue: The London West Hollywood | Location: West Hollywood, California
I normally wouldn't take the time to write a review but our family's experience with Adam and Amber was so outstanding, I just had to share. Adam and Amber were extremely pleasant and professional, and their photographs were nothing short of PERFECT! Honestly, there isn't one bad photo in the bunch. They captured the night so beautifully, and got so many incredible shots!!! In addition they were dressed appropriately for an elegant affair. So often I attend beautiful weddings to see the photographers in junky tee shirts...Not Adam and Amber! They blended right into the crowd while doing their great work in the best way possible! I'd give more starts if I could!SIMI VALLEY PROFESSIONAL PORTRAITS
Location: Simi Valley, California
Adam's work has never ceased to amaze me. He has done all of the professional portraits for my office and is able to capture and portray the unique personality of each individual he photographs. He has assisted us in choosing great locations for the photo shoots and created professional looking photos with a natural look to them. His expert approach made me completely comfortable with the entire process. I highly recommend Adam as your first and best choice in professional photography! I will not hesitate to call upon him for all my future photography needs.MALIBU PAKISTANI ENGAGEMENT PORTRAITS
Location: Malibu, California
Adam/Embrace Life Photography is absolutely incredible! First of all, Adam is just an absolute pleasure to work with! He is fun, amicable, and very creative.
He did my engagement photo shoot and I cannot begin to describe how happy we were with the pictures! My fiance and I were picky with the poses we wanted, but Adam was very patient and understanding and helped us achieve the exact look that we were going for. And his editing skills are. just. AMAZING. You can tell that Adam puts a lot of time and effort into each and every picture! He definitely does a great job of balancing the retouching while making sure the pictures still look very natural.
Honestly, I think he's one of the best photographers in the greater Los Angeles area, hands down!
SAN DIEGO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: MIKO + ELI
Venue: Admiral Kidd Conference & Catering Center | Location: San Diego, California
"Modern . Artistic . Beautiful" - Like Adam said, this is exactly what you get.
I hired Adam to be my wedding photographer. I drove 3 hrs (one-way) to meet this talented photographer from San Diego. It was all worth it.
Where to start. I have so many good things to say about this guy.
He was on time, warm, polite, listened to what I needed, answered my questions, quick email response, and last but not least, he takes awesome pictures.
What impressed me the most was: on the day of my wedding, Adam arrived at a location 2-3 hours advance to see if there were any cool places to take pictures with. He is in L.A. and we are in San Diego, so he came here early to "study and research" the location.
There was a train station near a hotel we stayed, which I didn't even know that existed, and he took us there for photo-shoot. The pics Adam took were just magical, and I was so grateful that he spent extra time to find this cool spot.
He also found a blue mural on the wall of the hotel. I thought "wait a minute. This mural is too blue!!" But Adam knows how to make "ordinary" to "extra ordinary." My portrait pics with blue mural which I posted here are actually my fav pic. But I am telling you. If you look at the mural by itself, it is not picturesque at all!!
My husband and I are extremely satisfied with his work. I highly recommend Adam to be your wedding photographer.
CALAMIGOS RANCH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: DANIA + BRANDON
Venue: Calamigos Ranch | Location: Malibu, California
We hired Adam George to do our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn't be happier. We initially chose him for three reasons: 1. He is tall. Seriously, the taller the photographer, the thinner you look. 2. He is incredibly nice. I hate having pictures taken of myself and Adam immediately made me feel as comfortable as I am ever going to feel in front of a camera. 3. His work is great. The pictures speak for themselves.
Adam took two, awkwardly shaped, chubby, pale Jews and made us look amazing. He is so meticulous and he takes his time with you. It's like having your good friend take your pictures and do an awesome job. We highly, HIGHLY recommend Embrace Life Photography.
SAN DIEGO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: EVELYN + CORY
Venue: Brigantine Del Mar | Location: Del, California
Adam George with Embrace Life Photography was everything we could have asked for in a wedding photographer and more! We knew many people in San Diego and were almost set on booking locally, but something told us to drive up to Calabasas and meet Adam. It was well worth the drive. His passion for photography was immediately shown through his work and his office, which was gleaming with amazing pictures. He made us feel extremely welcome and comfortable from the time we met him at his office until the time we left. We also had our two kids with us and he was more than accommodating to us and our munchkins :) That definitely meant a lot to us.
Fast forward to our wedding day:
Adam arrived early and left late on our wedding day. You knew it wasn't his first wedding shoot. He made sure he was giving us our moneys worth and getting the shots he wanted so we will remember this day forever. He looked like he was having just as much fun as we are, now thats someone that you want taking pictures on your wedding day. The beach pictures seemed like they would be a challenge with the wind that day, but Adam's expertise quickly showed us that he had everything under control and knew exactly what to do to make us feel comfortable. Our wedding pictures turned out unbelievably beautiful. We got a sneak peek just a week or two after the wedding and just received everything already a month after our wedding. We have already looked through them about ten times. We are in love!
We will forever remember Adam and how well he made us shine on our wedding day. He treated us like we were family and we had known each other for years. If anyone asks us for a wedding photographer, you better believe we will send them to Embrace Life Photography.
SANTA MONICA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: PRISCILLA + JONATHAN
Venue: Private Residence | Location: Santa Monica, California
WOW! Just WOW! Adam and Amber George are such an amazing team. Not only are Adam and Amber extremely pleasant to work with, but they are professional and really take the time to create and capture every shot perfectly. I am absolutely amazed with all of my wedding photos. The pictures are absolutely perfect. Every shot looks unbelievable. There is not one photograph I do not like. I highly recommend Embrace Life Photography for your wedding.
Thank you Adam and Amber for giving my husband and I the greatest wedding gift... memories for a life time!
SANTA BARBARA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: JESSIE + BRIAN
Venue: Belmond El Encanto | Location: Santa Barbara, California
Adam is SUCH an incredible photographer! I hired him after working with him for two other girlfriends' weddings - and seeing how incredibly professional he was, how much fun he was to work with, and ultimately how AMAZING his work is!!
I am a huge fan of his clean, crisp images - and he has an unparalleled eye for perfect lines and shot set ups. My fiancé and I had our engagement shoot at four different locations with several different outfits, and he captured so many unbelievable shots in the midst of all that variation.
Adam is also great at directing during a photo shoot - we had no idea what we were doing, and he did a great job of telling us where to walk, how to turn our faces, where to stand, etc. I highly recommend him as his prices are reasonable, he is extremely personable, and just an awesome guy to work with. Can't wait to see our wedding shots!
LOS ANGELES CORPORATE HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHY
Location: Los Angeles, California
We used Adam for our corporate headshots and would gladly hire him again (and most likely will!!) Adam was punctual, professional, friendly and took a darn good headshot. He also delivered the finished product to us in a very timely fashion. There really is not much more you could ask from a professional photographer and you will not be disappointed with his work ethic or his photographs.PALM SPRINGS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: ANGELA + MIKE
Venue: Avalon Palm Springs | Location: Palm Springs, California
When my husband (then boyfriend) and I found out we were pregnant we decided we wanted to have a private wedding without family in Palm Springs (somewhere warm). Needless to say our families were pretty disappointed, but understood.
When we found Adam we just wanted someone there to document our special day. We had no idea how amazing his pictures were going to be. He was so accommodating and had our first shot set up before we arrived and had even scoped out Palm Springs the day before looking for creative shots.
He made our private little wedding day very real and an awesome way to announce to all our friends and family (that didn't know) that we got hitched. Since then we still receive compliments on our pictures.
Adam is an amazing photographer, professional, and just a great guy that instantly makes you feel comfortable. Our wedding day would have been an entirely different experience without him.
Oh and our families forgave us once they saw the pictures :)
CORONA DEL MAR ENGAGEMENT PORTRAITS: CASEY + MATT
Location: Newport Beach, California
Adam is truly THE best wedding photographer around. We found Embrace Life Photography through a friend's recommendation. After looking at our friend's wedding pictures and the photos on the Embrace Life website, we fell in love with his work! Adam made the commute from Los Angeles to Orange County to meet with us at our convenience. He was professional and very interested in getting to know who we were as a couple so he could capture our wedding in a style that would reflect our unique relationship. He did our engagement photos and we loved them so much that we want to use him for our destination wedding in Cabo next October. Adam is a true artist and I highly recommend his work.NAPA VALLEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: SARAH + JASON
Venue: Chappellet Vineyard | Location: St. Helena, California
Adam, after months of looking at friends wedding pictures and always flipping through ours in comparison of course, we have realized how blessed we are to have had such an amazing photographer at our special day. Thank you for the beautiful work you have done and creating memories that will really last a lifetime for us.
I just wanted to tell you how much we love the work you did for us.
I hope you are well and have a great start to a busy wedding season:)
SANTA MONICA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: NICOLE + DUSTIN
Venue: Loews Hotel | Location: Santa Monica, California
Adam is a fabulous photographer with a great eye for getting just the right shots. I could not have been more pleased with his work. I highly recommend him to any bride looking for a fun, original style of photography for their big day.SANTA MONICA FAMILY PORTRAITS
Location: Santa Monica, California
I found Adam on Yelp and he made me a Rock Star Santa Claus! For two years my wife's request for Mother's Day and Christmas has been a family portrait. We live in Minnesota and planned a Christmas trip to Santa Monica, so when we exchanged gifts the night before our flight my wife just figured that her Homer Simpson of a husband had once again missed the mark. Little did she know that waiting at the Santa Monica Pier was Adam and his cameras. And did he ever deliver! Gorgeous photos. Wonderful composition. Just an amazing experience with a terrific photographer. It was the perfect beginning to our trip, and the ideal end to my history of not getting the right gift. I can't recommend Adam highly enough. His photos will be part of our family for decades.CALABASAS FAMILY PORTRAITS
Location: Calabasas, California
We have hired Adam for the last 3 years to photograph our family. He is not only talented and professional, he is patient and genuinely interested in getting the very best result. We have been hiring photographers for the last 25 years and he is clearly among the very very best! I can not recommend him more highly!BEVERLY HILLS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: CATHERINE + ELVIS
Venue: Four Seasons Los Angeles | Location: Beverly Hills, California
Hire Adam he is the best of the best. I am so happy with my wedding photos!!! Him and his wife did a wonderful job at my wedding and they are just so kind.SANTA BARBARA FAMILY PORTRAITS
Location: Santa Barbara, California
Bottom line, your finished product from Adam will be nothing short of amazing! He did family photos for us on the beach in Santa Barbara and he captured absolutely beautiful images of us all!! We had four kids all under 4, and he did a great job with them and getting them to smile for the camera. I have a beautiful print hanging in my home I look at everyday and am so happy with. He's a professional and it shows!DISNEYLAND SENIOR PORTRAITS
Location: Anaheim, California
I had the pleasure of working with Amber and Adam to photograph my daughter for her senior portraits at the happiest place on earth! I wasn't quite sure how it was going to work at first but they both were amazing! They were patient, waited for people to pass before getting the right shot. We all had a great time and needless to say the pictures came out perfect! He captured my daughter's true personality and she absolutely loved all the photographs. It was a true experience we will not ever forget! Now we know who to hire for her wedding pictures (at the happiest place on earth, of course)!!MALIBU WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: LINDSAY + RYAN
Venue: Calamigos Ranch | Location: Malibu, California
My wife and I found Adam on of all places Facebook. After talking to him and seeing his work we asked him to shoot our Engagement photos and Wedding. That was six and five years ago respectively. He was professional, nice, funny, talented and above all he was able to capture intimate moments without being intrusive. He honestly has become a friend. For those of you looking for a wedding photographer, his most priceless quality was he able to wrangle the entire family for photos as well as keep an amazingly cool head and smile when dealing with "Hard to Deal With" family members.
I could not say enough nice things about him both professionally and socially. His talents lend him to both traditional shots as well as unique perspectives that never come close to hokey.
We recently had him shoot some family portraits and with an energetic 2 year old, without a nap, he must have been some sort of Demi-God to get the shots he did. Adam got our son to smile and hold still long enough to get some priceless moments. He shoots at amazing locations. He's flexible. He's professional and on top of it all he's nice.
We absolutely lucked out finding him and are lucky to be able to employ his talents. He is a diamond in a see of people calling themselves "photographers" simple because the have an expensive camera and a hipster vest.
It was a long and arduous search to find him for us, and hopefully this review, and the others touting his abilities, make your search a whole lot quicker than ours was.
MALIBU WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: ROSE + EVAN
Venue: Private Residence | Location: Malibu, California
After looking at many photographers, we chose to work with Adam and Embrace Life Photography. They did an amazing job! The entire team was friendly, professional and captured every single sweet moment throughout the night. We chose not to hire a videographer in the hopes that our pictures would tell the story of the night and Embrace Life told the story perfectly! The pictures are so beautiful that our wedding was 8 months ago and I still can't narrow down my favorites so I can create an album. I can't wait for our next celebration so that we can work with Adam and his team again!CALABASAS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: CHRISTINA + TREVOR
Venue: Calabasas Country Club | Location: Calabasas, California
Adam George and Embrace Life Photography are truly amazing. Our photographs came out more vivid and vibrant than I could imagine, almost more beautiful than being there in person. Every detail was captured brilliantly. Adam definitely has a talented eye for beautiful photography and is a very charming person to be with and work with. Even the presentation of delivery of our photos afterwards was classy and surprising. We very much appreciate his hard work and dedication in creating the perfect memories of our important life journey. Thank you to Adam and the Embrace Life family. If you're looking for photographs that will steal your heart and imagination look after look, then Adam's your man.SAN FRANCISCO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: LINDSEY + MUKI
Venue: Golden Gate Park / Shakespeare Garden | Location: San Francisco, California
After seeing Adam's work and meeting him, we knew we had to have his as our wedding photographer. Adam is super talented, has great attention to detail and is very thorough in finding out what we like and don't like. He's even great catching candids and making you look great! All of Embrace Life's photos turn out beautiful! Check out his website if you haven't already! embracelifephoto.com
We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos because they are AMAZING! We highly recommend Embrace Life Photography to photograph your wedding! Adam's awesome!
SAN JOSE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: MARLENE + RICHARD
Venue: San Jose City Hall Rotunda | Location: San Jose, California
Embrace Life shot our wedding last month and the pictures were amazing. We checked out at least five other photographers leading up to the wedding, but we are so glad we made the right choice with Embrace Life. Everyone we know has commented on how beautiful the pictures turned out and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Adam and his wife are awesome photographers... they are very professional and at the same time are very friendly and easy to work with, which made us and our party so comfortable. Thanks again Adam... you guys are awesome!MALIBU WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: MELISSA + DEVIN
Venue: Stinson Beach Community Center | Location: Stinson Beach, California
I found Embrace Life Photography through a MySpace ad. Their website said it all. The photos were beautiful! I had assumed they just chose the best pictures they've ever taken and posted them there to get business but I was wrong!
The moment I met them on my wedding day they were already snapping photos, eager to get started! I don't know how to pose for photos at all and they managed to make me feel like a super model on my wedding day! They took photos of details I had completely overlooked, things that whizzed by me because of the days events. Now I can remember those things forever!
The photos they took turned out absolutely amazing. They were just like the ones on the website! They looked like something you would see in a magazine. I get all teary eyed every time I look through the photos! They are so beautiful!
Embrace Life Photography even travels. They are located near Los Angeles. My wedding was at Stinson Beach at the end of a very twisty and car-sick road about 8 hours from them, and they came! The price was even just right. I researched many other photographers. You want your day to be captured perfectly in every way since you only get one chance, you can't go back and take more pictures, so I was as picky as they come. With money as tight as it is for us, Embrace Life definitely didn't break our budget, everything was priced so reasonably.
All in all, I highly recommend Embrace Life to anyone looking to capture their wedding day in a tasteful, elegant way! 100% Perfect!
NAPA VALLEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: ASHLEY + RILEY
Venue: The Lodge at Sonoma | Location: Sonoma, California
We chose Embrace Life Photography to be our wedding photographer. As every couple knows, your wedding photographer is one of the most important part of your wedding because your photos will last a lifetime! We would not have changed anything. We were extremely satisfied on all levels with Embrace Life. From the attention to detail to capturing moments we don't even remember, they got it all and the album shows it! On to the album, we absolutely love the album. I chose a handful of photos I really liked and let Embrace Life do the rest and it turned out beautifully. I truly can't say enough good things about them. I am an event planner and know how important good, reliable and responsible vendors are to have. Thank you Embrace Life!EMAILS FROM OUR CLIENTS
You were an outstanding photographer to have at Carrie's wedding - outstanding in both personality and talent. I know I was a bit tense, and you were calm. I really appreciate all you did at the wedding and after it.
I want to thank you again as it was a pleasure working with you and a real treat to see how amazing the photography turned out.
Dan, Jennifer & Amelia-Grace
I am back from the honeymoon and finally got a chance to look at the pictures. They are absolutely wonderful, thank you so much for everything!
