"Courtney and Ben are amazing photographers, videographers, and artists, but most importantly, people.
We had the honor of having them as our wedding media specialists back in August 2018 in Hawaii. We had an engagement shoot to warm us up and to get to know each other’s personalities and felt so comfortable with them on our day - like they were lifelong friends we had been waiting to meet again! They captured our spirits and gave us photos and videos better than we could have ever dreamed of!
If you get the opportunity to have these beautiful souls capture any of your moments - take it! You will be forever grateful you did. We cannot wait until the next time we get to see them and work with them! Thank you both again for everything!" -Nicole Crosgrove

"I can not speak highly enough of Sand and Stone Media. Their style has so much depth and quality to it. I hired them to do some photos of me for my business and I couldn't be happier with the way they captured who I really am. Ben and Courtney are creative, affirming and made me feel so comfortable in a situation that is often uncomfortable. The turnaround time was incredibly quick and I had fantastic variety to choose from. Courtney and Ben will make you feel secure and cared for in your photo experience and you will receive photos that are unforgettable." -Alexis Meschi
"This duo is absolutely amazing! Even though we tried to avoid the rain it showed up on picture day. But walking through the rain with wet hair and excited voices they greeted us on the beach with smiles as if it was a bright sunny day. Even with the gloomy skies, they made sure every picture was bright and crisp! You can truly tell they loves what they do because it shows through their hard work and fine attention to detail. Ben and Courtney captured exactly what I wanted and imagined and I seriously couldn't be happier. I would refer Sand and Stone Media to any and everyone." -Darcella Owens
"Ben and Courtney were amazing to work with. Not only did they accommodate our schedule, they also found the perfect time of day and location for us to take photos. The experience felt natural and not forced, which lent itself to capturing several candid and raw moments throughout the photo shoot. Couldn't speak highly enough about the quality of their work." - Lisa
"Courtney and Ben are AMAZING! They are so personable and enthusiastic, which eliminates any nerves you may have getting your pictures taken. We opted to get photos and video and they provided gorgeous photos and a short, medium, and full length video. They were all gorgeous. Highly recommend Courtney and Ben!" -Alexandria Timp
"Both Courtney and Ben are so talented! They are both very passionate at what they do and get amazing results because of that. They shot out engagement photos and a video and were amazing. You will never have more fun doing a shoot. They scouted out a place for the photos beforehand so everything went smoothly and the scenery was amazing. The shoot was completely natural and full of joy and laughter. Thank you Sand and Stone for the entire experience!" -Devan Lander
"Sand and Stone took AMAZING photos for my family! We immediately shared them with everyone we were so excited! Courtney and Ben are so sweet and we had so much fun during our photo shoot. They were able to provide the exact photos we wanted and did it with care and excellent service! In fact, they were better than we imagined. Courtney kept me posted on when the photos were going to be done, and even sent me a couple photos during the process just so I could see how they turned out! It was so thoughtful. I would refer anyone to Sand and Stone." -Courtney Ibarra
