Vivian Bartell Photography portrait single

Hiya, I’m Vivian!

The all around elopement,
wedding, engagement &
portrait
(& more)
photographer.

I have been a photographer since 2009 and constantly expanding myself in this world. I enjoy making my dream client smile while I capture their photos. My personality tends to be warm, caring and fun! I invest in my work like it’s my child, which is fueled by chai and matcha lattes. I am the best of both worlds when it comes to logistics and creativity, so together, you and I will bring wonders to the shoot.

My dream clients tend to be laid back, open minded, and have a sense of humor (even though I am still understanding sarcasm to this day). I perk up every time I meet the client of my dreams, visit a magical venue of their dreams, or bring out genuine smiles. I promise you, we will have a blast and connect. I’m the gal that will listen to you and let you cry on my shoulder because I have no shame in myself anymore, and I care about you.

Do you believe you are awkward or your partner is not a fan of feeling photogenic? No fear! A quick chat over the phone will definitely ease the tension since looking for the right photographer with the personality and work is crucial. Trust I believe I have the right words to say that makes you feel like a warm drink by the fireplace, or the feeling of watching sunsets.

Kind words from a Client

“We hired Vivian for our wedding in San Diego and couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. She was laid back but great at telling us how to pose...and she made us look so natural! We've been getting many complements on the photos, and she ended up sending us more than was in the contract, which was a nice surprise. We look love to work with Vivian for future shoots.”
