Raves, Reviews, Testimonials and Thanks Yous!
To Edna & Your Amazing Crew. We would like to send out deepest gratitude for capturing all of our precious moments at our wedding. Thank you so much for helping us on this journey. Our wedding would not have been the same without your amazing staff. You truly are meant to be in this field and we are honored you took the time to ensure everything was perfect. We love you so much… Now to Edna… The beautiful incredible talented Edna… Steve and I are so grateful that we had such an amazing photographer for our wedding but what we are most thankful for is the we found an even greater friend. We are so excited for all of the many memories to be made and captured in our amazing life as Mr and Mrs Yamamoto.
HUGE SHOUT OUT TO AN AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER! Thank you so much Edna for the great lifetime memories… our wedding pictures came out amazing. You truly went above and beyond our expectations and couldn’t be more thankful for everything that you did, for your patience and most of it for always being so wonderful to us. It’s always hard to find a reliable & trustful professional who to count on, especially with big events as a wedding, yet you made it very welcoming for us from the beginning. I really appreciate everything, every single picture because we loved them all I remember the first time I went to meet with you and I said: “Edna I want someone who will tell my husband and I how to pose and not to ask me what poses do I like\would like to do.” that is the last thing I needed to worry about and you really made it very special and easy for us. I loved the fact that you went on and created a timeline for our big day as it really helped me coordinate the wedding. You really know how to keep a Bride happy! Thank you sooooo much Edna for being so awesome. (Laura & Luis)
P.S. Highly recommend her 😉
When I began planning our wedding there was one thing I knew I wanted and that was Edna’s photographic magic for our big day. Having admired her work for years I knew that no one else would compare! I am SO SO dang lucky that not only was she available, but that her personality was just as epic as her art.
Never could I have imagined that the world in front of her lenses could be so exhilarating and rewarding. It goes beyond a pose, she truly captures the raw emotion and subtle magic behind every moment. It’s truly rare that you look at an image and remember exactly what you were feeling when it was captured,but Edna’s images write a story with every shutter of her camera.
I can fully admit that I am addicted to her talent! It’s such a unique opportunity to know an artist of this caliber. I will most definitely return time and time again to have Square Eye Photography’s extraordinary mark on the chapters of our lives..
Edna was a spectacular photographer for our wedding last year and we LOVE our photos! They are even more beautiful than we expected them to be, and we especially love how many different creative poses and settings she shot us in. This gave us a wide range of options to choose our favorites from (which is actually really hard because we genuinely love all of them) and that was a really nice thing I don’t think we could’ve gotten from any other photographer. 10/10 would recommend Edna – she’s a total badass in person and behind the camera. Thanks Edna! You truly are a god among men haha!
All I can say is, don’t make a mistake and use someone other than Square Eye Photography! I have hired Edna twice and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Edna knows what she’s doing. My husband and I just got married last week and Edna and her crew blew everyone’s mind. We received so many awesome comments from everyone from our other venders, to our guests. It’s clear that she is truly gifted. She arrived early, she was so professional, she kept everyone on point all day making everything go so smoothly. She knew exactly what angles looked best, she knew exactly where to go around the venue and outside. Even her crew was on point with everything, they were all like ninjas with there equipment and so swift with changing lenses when needed. They even made sure we were all hydrated in the heat. What amazing service. Her attention to detail and lighting is remarkable. She has such an eye for beauty and what looks good. She also knows exactly what angles make the ladies look their best . Her photos are breathtaking, her service is top notch, and her prices are worth every penny!!! Look no more, she is the one you need to hire. You won’t be disappointed!
My fiance and I are so happy with our decision to have Edna Eudave as our photographer. We chose her because her work was different, exciting, beautiful and creative. Just about a month ago we completed our engagement shoot and fell in love with the pictures. We received them about three days after the shoot. All of our friends and family fell in love with the pictures. We cannot wait to see what amazing work she will do with our wedding day pictures.
This is a snippet of a long post that this bride wrote about me on her blog…
“If you are in need of a wedding photographer, I seriously would recommend Edna, she went to the ends of the earth and back for us. By the end of our wedding day she was covered in mud, sweaty and I’m sure exhausted. But she lives for her work, and you can tell. We couldn’t be happier with how things turned out with her! I am linking her website, Pinterest (where she posted a bunch of our photos along with a ton of her other clients) and her Facebook so you can get in touch. If you have any questions or need contact info for her, I would be more than willing to get that to you!
Edna… WE LOVE YOU!!”

A tiny section of a LONG yelp review
The Engagement Shoot… We decided to have our engagement shoot at one of Edna’s suggestions, The Irvine Regional Park. This was our first time there, but Edna was very clear on where we would meet and we had no trouble finding her. As soon as we met up, Edna wasted no time hauling our butts up and down that park for the best photos. She staged us in positions that felt absolutely silly, but turned out being really fun and looked great in the photos. We changed on the go, once in a bathroom and once in some foliage (which I’m sure made for a funny sight). The only upset we had was a patch of stinging nettles that I laid in that instantly gave my arms and back a minor rash. This might seem like a bad thing, but actually it was a testament to how Edna handles challenge. She got her photos and kept pushing through like a champ and when it came time to see the photos in the online gallery, I could see her editing skill in covering up the rash. If it weren’t for the fact that I lived through it, I wouldn’t have been able to tell it had happened at all.
The Wedding Day Edna and her team met us at The Carter Estate Winery in Temecula. The team set up their equipment and took photos of details like my dress, accessories and us getting ready. Once we were in full makeup, Edna had us get dressed and then had my MOH help me outside into the vineyard for photos. Unfortunately, as these things happen, my MOH slipped on a rock while carrying my dress and ended up falling down and splitting open the back of her dress. She was immediately shuttled inside so one of my bridesmaids could mend it and Edna’s team immediately took her place. After this set of photos it was time to drive the 20 minutes to the wedding venue “Wedgewood, The Orchard” in Menifee. Edna first took some photos of the groom and groomsmen before staging him so that we could have a first look. In real life, our bridal party witnessed our first look, but they were edited out in the photos so it looks very intimate and there is no trace that they have been removed. I didn’t notice them during the ceremony, but I have the photos to prove they were there so I can only say that they got some great shots. After the ceremony, we were shuttled behind the venue to an open field of (what looked like) wheat; her team helped me haul my dress and then staged the both of us for photos. These are my favorite photos from the whole day, Edna tinted the sky, sucked in my fat and made the details pop! We laughed through the whole time and really had her to thank for it. Edna I hope you see this because you are a treasure.
OMG! I’m so in love with every single photo!! They are STUNNING!!!! You are such a talented photographer and we are so blessed to have had you as part of our big day! I just relived our wedding day through your vision
My husband and I did a lot of research in order to find the perfect photographer. Well we found everything we were looking for with Edna and her team! To say they are amazing would be an understatement. Edna and her team shot our engagement photos and wedding day. Prior to our engagement photos, we had never taken professional photos. They made us feel very comfortable and captured many great photos. Our wedding photos were delivered sooner than we expected. They are absolutely beautiful! Edna, Junior, and Noah were very professional and friendly. Edna, the main photographer, is quick to respond to emails and texts. She did such an amazing job that my colleague saw her work and hired them for her upcoming wedding. I highly recommend her!
“Michael and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our special day not only did you capture the moments but you captured our hearts in the photos that you have taken. It’s truly an ART what you do and I’m happy to have found you. As we sit, staring at our beautiful pictures, we know that you are truly a great photographer. Not only that you made us look good but you made us feel comfortable and SEXY! Thank you for our beautiful photos that we will forever cherish.”
“This client changed her wedding date just to have me shoot her wedding. This is the email she sent. Okay look… I’m DESPERATE to have you photograph my wedding. So much that I’m willing to change my wedding date. PLEASE!!!”
“If I can recommend one thing it would be for couples to invest on their wedding day it would definitely have to be photography provided by Edna. Don’t let this be the last thing on your wedding list; the music will be gone, the flowers will die, but the beautiful memories of your wedding day will forever be captured by Edna. Edna is truly AMAZING!!! She can turn the mundane into the most breathtaking images. Edna doesn’t take pictures, she captures the moments full of EMOTION and BEAUTY. The photos will make you laugh, cry, and relive each second of your wedding day. Thanks for everything Edna, you are absolutely AMAZING!!”
Edna came to our rescue after our current photographer accidentally deleted our engagement photos and told us a month later…literally 2 months before our wedding date. She was recommended to me by one of my bridesmaids, whose engagement and wedding photos were gorgeous. After meeting with her, I was kicking myself for not choosing her in the first place. She squeezed us in for a last minute engagement shoot, our pictures were ready right away, and they came out beautifully. My husband and I don’t really like to take pictures but Edna made us feel so comfortable, and we had the best time! She is passionate and knowledgeable about her craft, her response time was super quick, she made us feel like family, and we couldn’t be happier with the beautiful moments she captured throughout our entire wedding day.
“Edna, thank you for your beautiful ARTISTRY and for capturing the intricate details of our wedding day. We were in awe as we viewed our photographs, as you did not just photograph images but you truly captured the pure essence and emotion of each moment. Thank you for documenting our beginning chapter of our life together.”
Edna, you are definitely a master of your craft. You have shown our special day so magically in your photos.. I absolutely love every single one of them. I loved working with you.. It was easy to be a calm bride because I love the man I was marrying and I know my precious memories were in the best hands! And when I say you are the best I Mean the BEST! Thank you immortalizing my memories. You have a forever client and friend.. Hell.. you are forever part of my family!
Edna, our engagement and wedding pictures are AMAZING!!! We had a blast with you during the entire experience! Everybody who sees her pictures is absolutely blown away. Take you so much for giving us something we could cherish for the rest of our lives. We just can’t thank you enough.
Edna, we have to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done for us. From our first consultation to our engagement session and finally wedding day. You were nothing but supportive, friendly, professional, kind and a blast! Which we appreciate. We will cherish these memories for our lifetime.YOU ARE AMAZING!
Choosing Square Eye Photography for our wedding was the second best decision I made, second only to choosing my husband as my lifelong partner 😉 Edna has an eye for bringing out the best in people and locations, her photos are bright and fun. We are super pleased with the shots she took for our wedding. There were so many beautiful and special moments that she captured!! My favorite one so far….my husband and I were posing for a picture when I suddenly licked him in the face…we are playful like that…haha it was payback for a previous transgression. He and I immediately busted out laughing….she captured that moment, the utmost perfect picture of a fun playful intimate moment Josh and I shared the day of our wedding. I’ll never forget it now, cause I can revisit it whenever in our photo album.
Ohhhh My Gosh!!!! The photos are freakin’ AWESOME!!!!! WOW!!!! We LOVE them!!!!! It’s going to be so hard to choose our favorites! Oh my goodness girl, we cannot get over at what a great job you did! We are so happy with our pictures!! You are totally right when you see people take a while, to choose their images, because it must be so hard to choose a favorite out of tons of great pics that you take!!! LOL!!! Thank you so much for all of the beautiful pictures, we had a great time!! Have a wonderful and blessed day!!
I am sitting here CRYING MY EYES OUT! What you did was SPECTACULAR! You captured everything a person could want. I truly can’t find enough words to express how happy I am.
One of the most important parts of my weddings to my husband and me was the photographer. I can’t decide which I love more, my engagement photos or my wedding photos. You are a MAGICIAN, an ARTIST and my photographer for all events from this point on… I am sending my friends your way too.
“We want to be your best customers. Carrie says to tell you we think you’re really TALENTED and we’re thinking about emailing your website all the photographers we turned down!!! Ha ha ha!”
“Edna, YOU ROCK! The photos that you took on our wedding day are BREATHAKING! Family and friends love them. You have an amazing talent, and I can’t wait to work with you again and again.”
“Hi Edna! I just wanted to let you know how pleased Caesar and I were with our photo session with you on Sunday. We both felt comfortable, you are so down-to-earth, very easy-going. The whole atmosphere and experience was great! Our pictures came out even better than I expected. I can’t wait to get them all. We are very appreciative of your work, as you have been able to provide us with BEAUTIFUL pictures of our pregnancy to enjoy. Thank you for everything.”
I have been following Edna’s work on Facebook for years! And finally I got engaged and she did our engagement shoot and our wedding shoot. Love her work I highly recommend her for any occasion, she is a very passionate and talented photographer! she is the best. Edna’s photos to me are like a work of Art absolutely beautiful and breath taking! I can’t wait to finally get my album and work with her again.
Several years ago Edna photographed my sister’s wedding, and I fell in love with her creativity and quality of work. I knew then that when I finally got married that she would have to be my photographer. And that day came last week. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. She had great location ideas, beautiful poses, and she was fantastic about posing us in the most flattering ways. My husband and I have never considered ourselves photogenic people, so I figured it would be a win if we liked even 5 pictures of ourselves that day. Only a week after the wedding and she sent me a link to downloadable versions of all our photos…. We were BLOWN away!! We have dozens of favorite pictures. I am amazed with how beautiful, fun and flattering they are. She absolutely captured our personalities in her work. I could not be happier, and I will be forever grateful to have those happy memories so wonderfully captured. Thank you Edna!!
“Seriously, everyone I have talked to is talking about how AMAZING your pics are! My mom said you aren’t a photographer you’re an artist!! I couldn’t be happier!!!!”
“Edna, you’ll never know how much I just love the pictures. They are all truly a work of ART. I like your style and your flare for art. I see something beautiful in every photo you took! Congratulate yourself for being a
TRUE ARTIST and sharing it with us.”
“Hi Edna, let me just say when it came time for Matthew and I to find a photographer for our wedding we saw lots out there and didn’t know which way to go. Luckily we really got to see you in action at my sister-in-law’s wedding and when we saw her pictures there was no question we had to have you do hours to. We have the most beautiful wedding photos and memories because of you. You are AWESOME at what you do!! We can’t thank you enough!!!!”
“OMG I love these pictures!!! OMG, Edna you have honestly made my dream of having BEAUTIFUL wedding pictures come true!!! I’m so happy with what I’ve seen so far!!! I can’t believe how good we look!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!”
“Just thinking about you and the WONDERFUL things you are.” This was posted randomly one day on my page from one of my favorite brides
“Wow Edna, they are so good! Some are so funny, I’m not exactly the most photogenic person but you made me look good. Marina looks good in every single picture! We had a lot of fun that day, and it was a pleasure to work with you. Thanks again and we will really love all the photos.”
“Edna, thank you so much for making us look like sexy, SEXY ROCK STARS through the lens of your camera. Given amazing talent that we really appreciate being part of our special day. We are your biggest cheerleaders and will refer you to everyone we know”
“Thank you so much. I love all the pictures. You did a great job. I’m really happy with your work. I love your taste and how you organize everything, they came out so good. My husband is really happy with the results. We will be going back to you for pregnancy pictures.”
“Edna is seriously the best photographer you can get! She is so fun and EASY GOING. I felt so comfortable with her on the day of. I actually put my husband in charge of the photographer for the wedding and he found Edna through a friends referral. She was the best for our wedding day – for sure!!! I am so AMAZED every time we look at our photos and reminded how MAGICAL that day was. She really captures everything. We always refer Square Eye Photography. Thanks Edna!”
“Thank you for being part of our wedding day and capturing it so well! Words could never fully describe how appreciative and THRILLED my husband and I are about the masterpiece of an album you created for us from our wedding photographs. We get so many compliments on it! It is such a great way to treasure our special day for years to come
“Edna, Steven and I can’t say enough great things about her experience with you! We absolutely loved our engagement and wedding photos. You captured her special day perfectly. I’m happy to say that I now consider you a friend. I love that we still continue to see you yearly for family photos! You work is simply AMAZING!”
“Edna, three years ago you captured one of the most special days in our lives. We love you looking at our pictures and reliving that day. You made us feel so comfortable with you that not only do we trust you with our engagement wedding pictures but we are fortunate to still have you taking pictures of our baby girl. You are an AMAZING person and do AMAZING work.”
“Edna, thank you so much for a beautiful wedding pics! You have been a pleasure to work with and I can’t wait to get married again see can take more pictures ha ha just kidding! I can’t wait for the next big event so that we can use your talents once again.”
“Edna, thank you so much for all the hard work and amazing photos! We absolutely loved working with you. And the pictures are exactly what we wanted!!!”
“You know, I never got around to telling you how INSPIRATIONAL you are. I once read a post you shared about a story that was written on your work. You said something about being slightly unprofessional was better than being fake. It really helped me during a transitional stage in my life because as a therapist everyone expects you to be perfect, whatever that means. True knowledge and wisdom comes from experience and lessons learned whether it may be a first or second hand. I learned to embrace my imperfections and work with them to show that I am as perfectly human as everyone else is. True healing comes from within. True desire for well being comes from the heart. You along with a few others have helped me find my courage. Funny how the effect of your existence is often hidden in the little blind spots of our lives. I’m so grateful for you and all that you willingly lived through to become even you-er”
