She did an amazing job photographing our elopement on Santa Monica Beach. We had the best time running around the pier with her and all of the pictures are absolutely stunning and so beautiful!!! Very fresh and spontaneous with vivid colors and terrific lighting, unlike anything we've seen before and definitely not the typical stiff, boring and old-fashioned wedding photos you see so often here in Germany. But she is so much more than just an extraordinary photographer! She is such a positive, happy and cheerful person, it's contagious! From the first second on she was like a very close friend you've known all your life. She made sure that we feel comfortable all the time, taking care of everything so that we could simply enjoy the moment..." - Fabienne + MarkView more at http://jodeedebes.com/raves
