Margot is the best! We are so happy we chose Margot to shoot our engagement and wedding. I can't say enough about how amazing she is! Margot made us feel soooo comfortable in front of the camera! She did not hesitate to cross the street or to go over anything for the perfect angle!
She made it her priority to capture all the memories and all the beautiful details throughout the day.
I will definitely use her for any future needs and she is always my first and strongest recommendation for anyone!!

No words can express how truly magical she is. Margot is incredibly talented and is everything that you can ask for in a photographer and more.

[…] You will not regret working with this magnificent artist and you will have so many wonderful photos to show for it. We continuously look back at our wedding album and still get so emotional to this day. We can't wait to use her services again in the future!

Margot is so so so great! She is my first and strongest recommendation for anyone I know that is planning a wedding. My husband and I did both our engagement shoot and wedding with her, and we are so glad that we did. The pictures came out better than I could have imagined! It’s been hard to decide which photos to print to hang in our home because we like so many of them! She was great at working with our families and the other vendors, it was so nice to have her calming presence in the busy and potentially stressful times. The album she made for us is so high quality and the layout and shots she chose make it something I love to show off. We will definitely use her for future photos!

Highly recommend La Petite Photo!!! Margot captured our engagement and wedding perfectly. She was efficient, able to keep us on schedule, and captured the most spectacular moments. She asked us questions ahead of time to make sure we captured all of the moments we wanted to and in specific locations of our venue since the day of was a whirlwind. She kept things light, fun, and romantic and made everyone so comfortable in front of the camera. She is such a special and delightful soul and a beautiful photographer. If she’s available for your event, look no further and book her now!!

It’s such an honor to write this review. Margot was a delight ! I’m so happy I picked her for my wedding. She made it so easy. She was kind & listened to my wants. She made sure we got all the shots that were needed. I just received the final gallery of my wedding & it’s absolutely breathtaking. I remember when I was looking for a photographer I found someone else but I wasn’t truly satisfied, my gut told me KEEP LOOKING & then I came across La Petite Photo, I immediately felt this comfort & I just knew she would understand my vision. My friends & family were so impressed by the photos. I would 10000% recommend her to everyone I know. You won’t regret it.

Margot initially took our engagement photos in a short session that culminated in beautiful, warm, flattering photographs that perfectly captured me and my now husband. So we decided to book her for our wedding too. We're so glad we did. We just got our finals back, only a few weeks after the event and they're perfect. She caught the moments we wanted as well as who we are as a couple. They're memories we'll both treasure forever. She's friendly, very professional and very organized, easy and pleasant to work on top of being an amazing photographer. We also asked her to accommodate our Friday night Welcome Dinner last-minute, which she did and she adapted when it rained. She also took some headshots for me that came out beautifully. I really can't recommend her enough. She is really a pleasure to work with.

Margot was the perfect wedding photographer! I could not have been more pleased with how our photos came out. How she managed to capture such special moments without us even noticing she was there is beyond me! We originally set our wedding date for October 2020. When we made the difficult decision to postpone for another year due to COVID, Margot was so patient with us. It was so reassuring to know Margot had everything handled. We never had to worry about anything with her. She was organized, professional, had us stay on track with our timeline and most of all the photos came out beautiful! My husband is picky about people lol and Margot made him feel comfortable with her easy going style. Her website and photo portal is user friendly and easy to use. Overall, I am so pleased we found Margot. We are obsessed with ALL of our wedding photos!

If you're searching for a talented photographer for your wedding, look no further than Margot. She has a knack for capturing beautiful shots and was able to help even the most awkward of photo takers feel at ease. Margot is incredibly understanding and sweet, making her a pleasure to work with. I had the pleasure of having her take both my engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I feel like a beautiful bride straight out of a magazine. Margot is the type of person who becomes an instant friend and radiates love. I'm so grateful to have found her.

My wife and I want to be on record as to how pleased and satisfied we were (and are!) with our wedding photographer - Ms. Margot Robert. Margot was always hardworking, responsive, and very creative in helping us with our photos on our big day. The communication with Margot was great and consistent days before our wedding ... and her presence during all parts of our event ... was supportive, helpful, and always seemingly in the right place at the right time! We love all the pictures Margot took! We've printed many of the photos - we have albums we will always treasure. One can not go wrong if you hire Ms. Robert for your wedding event.

Where to begin? Margot was such a miracle--we had the idea to go to Catalina Island for our engagement shoot last month, but we knew it was an off-the-wall ask (ferries & short hike involved). We hoped to find a talented photographer who might be up for a fun adventure, and we did in Margot! She was wonderful to communicate with leading up to the day, very organized, prompt and truly fun to be around. She put us at ease and was so agile and creative as we moved around the site we'd chosen during the shoot. We also love how she finished our photos--very natural but in a way that brought our best sides out. I could not recommend Margot & La Petite Photo more highly! The only reason we weren't able to hire Margot for our wedding is that we'd originally decided not to do an engagement shoot, hired a wedding photographer in FL (where the wedding is) & then changed our minds that we did want the shoot. We would have hired Margot in a heartbeat for our wedding otherwise ( ;

— ANNA D.

Margot is amazing! So easy to work with and really talked through everything with me before the day of our elopement. The photos she captured were absolutely beautiful and I’m so glad we went with someone who really understood our vision and cared about our love story!

Margot photographed our wedding in June of 2022 and we could not the happier with the results. I was having some issues with the follow-through of my original photographer that I had booked 6 months in advance. Due to the stress of this I decided to look for a new photographer 2 months before our wedding day. Luckily, Margot was available and the difference in professionalism between the two photographers was like night and day. We started with a get to know you phone call, where she asked me really interesting questions about what we wanted from our wedding photos. She really put my mind at ease. Before our wedding day, she had us answer some questions to better capture our big day based one our wants and needs. On the day of our wedding day she could not have been more perfect. I could not have asked for a professional and kind photographer. She was a really calming and charming presents at wedding. I was actually really sad to see her go when our time with her was up, because she was such a lovely person to have around. I was surprised to get our sneak peek photos the following day. Not only was to turn around so quick, they were really beautiful photos that captured the emotions of that moment. 2 weeks after that we got the full gallery of photos that brought us right back to our wedding day. My partner and I took hours going through them together, laughing and crying in the best way. I really didn’t think of myself as someone who photographs well, but Margot is magical. She made me feel so comfortable and special and it definitely shows in the photos. We love our photos so much and loved working with Margot. We highly recommend her as a photographer and look forward to working with her again and again in the future.”

Choosing Margot as our Photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding day!

From our first conversation with Margot, she felt like an old friend. Her photography is beautiful and she is a joy to work with. She even made us awkward folks feel comfortable posing and having fun on camera. We love her style and appreciated how thoughtful she was in our conversations leading up to the big day. Every single one of our engagement and wedding photos came out incredible and we couldn’t be more pleased! We are obsessed with how naturally she captures intimate moments. The color and style of her images are classy and timeless!  

On the day of, we were impressed with how she was able to pay close attention to small details, while still making our day feel light, breezy, and enjoyable. She was very aware of scheduling and worked wonderfully with the flow of our wedding. After working with her we knew that we wanted to stay in touch with her not only as a client but also as friends. Thank you for everything Margot!

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Margot is a superstar!!!

So like many people our wedding got postponed by the pandemic, two years later we decided to get married like we planned but only had 3 months to plan. We didn't even have engagement pics. But our planner recommended Margot and she got our engagement photos done in time for our website and they rocked and working with Margot was such an ease! She was so accommodating and so much fun to be with. I’m so happy Grace from Unveiled by Grace recommended Margot. We were so nervous for the engagement photos and she totally calmed us down just by talking us through her ideas. Once I saw the sneak peak of those photos I knew I had one less thing to worry about. She’s such a lovely person and her work makes you look like a damn superstar. Much love to you, Margot!

— ANDREA G.

OMG!! Margot is the absolute best in the photo game!! My wife and I LOVE LOVE LOVE our wedding photos!! Margot was able to accommodate our photo needs on a very short notice - thank you so much Margot! Her photography/vision is amazing! If you are planning a wedding, birthday, anniversary, or any type of event that you want the best photos - Margot is the ONLY way to go!!!

— MATT T.

Working with Margot will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding planning process! We instantly felt comfortable with Margot from our first call, and we had zero doubts that she would be amazing and a perfect fit for our event. Margot knew exactly how to make the most of the vibe we were looking for, but was also really great about voicing her own recommendations, which was super helpful for us. The resulting photos were everything we wanted and more. We cannot speak more highly of Margot! Hire her!!

— GLORIA L.

Margot is truly a master of her trade. She helped me to make a hilarious "summer bod" calendar featuring my husband for a Christmas white elephant gift and we had the best time ever! Margot is very professional and had an abundance of ideas for our shoot that made it a super fun experience. 100% would recommend!

— KAYLA J.

Great photos, even greater photographer!

Margot is an amazing photographer, both in skills and personality. She goes above and beyond in making your special moment a memorable one. I cannot thank her enough for the photos she produced! She makes you feel comfortable during the shoot, and is able to capture the energy of the moment. I would highly recommend her.

— LUIS A.

Margot is amazing! My husband and I were married November 2021. We had 3 months to plan our wedding, so I was VERY worried about being able to find the right vendor to capture the special moments of our day. I am so happy I found Margot. After our initial meeting, all my worries were completely gone.
In addition to planning our wedding within a short time frame, we also wanted to have an evening wedding AND I wanted to take photos at the cemetery to honor my grandma. Other photographers I came in contact with would not support our wishes, were not easy to get in contact with and one even tried to convince me to change my wedding timeframe because they didn’t want to take evening pictures.
I’m so happy I didn’t settle and that I continued to search until I found Margot. She is so kind, professional, easy to talk to, responsive and creative. She made the entire process seamless, trouble-free and enjoyable.
She was upfront about costs, when to pay, how to pay, and what was included in the cost.
Prior to the big day we discussed a tentative timeframe, what groups photos were a must to have, and mapped out the day.
Day of the wedding she was on-time (maybe even a little early), so helpful, and our families and guests loved her! She even was able to get one of my dogs (I have two rescues, one is very skeptical and fearful of people) to warm up to her and she got some great pictures of them.
I wish I could truly convey how wonderful it was to have her as our photographer. My husband and I planned our entire wedding without the help or support of a coordinator. Some vendors were stressful to communicate with, but I had zero worries or issues with Margot. She does amazing work, she’s so cool - you wont regret hiring her for your special event.

Marvelous Margot

Margot was great to work with. She is very down to earth, professional, and warm hearted. She made me feel very comfortable taking photos even though I am very camera shy. We also created a wedding album with her and cherish it very much. I would recommend Margot for any occasion you would like documented.

— SARA M.

Margot was such a professional and just a DELIGHT to work with for my engagement photos AND the day of wedding. Engagement Review: Not only did she have ideas on locations that matched our personalities, but she was a master at directing dynamic poses that really come off as candid on film. I'm an awkward duck when it comes to posing, so I really appreciated her direction. The photos came out beautifully and we had them processed into a guestbook at our wedding. Wedding Photo Review: SUPER Professional throughout the whole process. Scheduling and preferences are neatly laid out and communicated ahead of time. An timeline is created and she was able to direct the groups in the order needed and keep on schedule. Also, our guests LOVED signing straight into the guestbook and it'll be a lasting memory for us! Thank you for such a fun and easy process!

— MICHELLE W.

Just amazing quality you will never forget!

Margot has got to be the best wedding and events photographer that we have ever used. Her attention to detail is ON POINT, and the way she helps make you feel at ease helps when you got all the wedding plans on your mind.
She always found a way to get the best shots, and pull people together that we laid out for her in her awesome onboarding overview.
I will be referring her to all of our friends without hesitation at all.
Worth EVERY penny!

— MATTHEW R.

We got to work with Margot and La Petite Photo for a few projects. She is very professional, timely, and produces high quality imagery. I am very impressed with Margot and La Petite Photo. She is engaging, entertaining, playful, and has a beautiful eye with her photos. I highly recommend them for your any of your photography needs in LA and elsewhere. We worked with them for two photoshoots, but also reviewed their work on weddings, and other events, which is why we really vibed with them. 5-stars and would use again and recommend to friends, family, and business associates!

— ANNA B.

She is so amazing! If you want to have amazing pictures for your special day, you need to hire her!!!!!

— ALMA B.

Margot photographed my husband and I for our engagement and wedding. She was great throughout the whole process. She made us feel comfortable and captured all of the important moments of our big day. She was always available for any questions and was very detailed oriented. We asked her to assist us in recreating my husband's parents wedding photo.. she had a copy of it to make sure it matched perfectly. We are beyond thrilled with our photos and cant wait for the next time we work with her!

— NERY A.

Margot was our Photographer on our wedding day! She was great!
We are so soo happy with the photos! They came out beautiful!!!

— MELISSA L.

Margot was so great to work with! She's fun, easy going, creative, professional, and made my two photo shoots a breeze. Her photo style caught my eye. I love the vintage-y timeless feel of her photos, so I scheduled both a branding session and an engagement shoot with Margot. The photos came out really great, and we are looking to hire her for our wedding, too!

— LIN C.

Margot is so excellent at what she does! She is by far my favorite photographer. From the first phone call to the day we received our wedding photos she made everything come together perfectly! We love our wedding photos so much, it's hard to pick out our favorite ones. During our wedding Margot made sure to listen very carefully to what we wanted with kindness and quickly spotted out any details that made the perfect photos. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, while adding in some hilarious candid moments. Our entire family kept repeating how "sweet and wonderful" she was. Margot's patience, kindness and amazing skills will not only create your perfect photos, but an experience you'll never forever. Thank you, Margot!

I had 3 sessions in total with Margot: a portrait shoot at the beach a couple years ago, and 2 maternity sessions this year (one was in an intimate indoor setting, and the other one was outdoors). Let me tell you... when I saw the pictures I couldn't believe my eyes. Margot's talent behind the camera is incredible, you can tell that she loves what she does and she knows exactly what she is doing. She loves people and is amazing at creating the most comfortable atmosphere for everyone in the photoshoot. She even managed to put my husband at ease (he naturally "feels awkward" when getting his pictures taken), and he looks great on all the pictures! Not only that, but the pictures are magazine worthy and reflect so much emotion. Everything she photographs is frame worthy. Margot took the time to understand what we wanted out of the sessions, and she suggested locations, outfits and props. Which I'm so glad she did because I would have not thought of any of that... I appreciated all of her creative ideas in terms of posing, composition and placement. Margot is open to working with whatever comes her way and is a great listener. The sessions were all but boring and we all had good laughs. I am so happy we have these beautiful photos now. If you have any doubts on your choice of photographer for any meaningful event, I strongly recommend you go with Margot. You won't regret it!

Margot is an up and coming photographer. Not only is she professional, but she made this photoshoot memorable. I have never gotten my pictures taken by a photographer and I highly recommend Margot and I will explain why. First, she is so inviting. She took us to the location we were going to do our session and during the ride there we chatted a lot about our life and Margot has this incredible spirit that makes you smile. Learning that Margot is French, we decided to practice our French. To say the least, we need to practice more, however Margot was kind of enough to help us. Then, when we got to our location she is able to direct us where the lighting is perfect for the photoshoots. What is more, she came prepared! She brought out a blanket, a bottle of cava and two glasses. We had so much fun in the way she directed us that I have some of the photos as my wallpaper on my computer and phone. The lighting, the location and her presence made it easy for us to follow and do. It reflects in the photo and it does not feel force. Afterwards, she showed us some of the pictures and asked us what we thought and, because my boyfriend loves photos, he was able to ask Margot if we could position ourselves differently or move to another spot. Margot is so willing to ensure that we were happy with the photos and offered additional tips and advice to improve the quality of the photos. And finally, when all was finished, she is quick to send us our final shots which my boyfriend still talks about till this day. It is truly one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. If we were to repeat this again, it would have to be done by Margot. Margot, thank you so much for the photos! We are truly blessed for your dedication and hard work.

— RICKY H.

Margot from La Petite Photo was really nice and professional. Her style of photography matched exactly what my wife and I wanted for our wedding. She made the whole experience really easy and fun, and she worked really hard to capture the right angles and lighting. The pictures were done on time and came out wonderfully. Thank you Margot.

— MILOSH V.

My husband and I renewed our vows at the beautiful El Matador beach in Malibu, and we had Margot capture the magic. To say I love the photos would be an understatement, I think they are better than our actual wedding photos! Taking pictures like that can be kind of awkward, but Margot made us feel so comfortable and it made the session so smooth, you can tell we are having a great time in the pictures. She was really accommodating in setting up the session, and had great ideas to help make the photo shoot fun and look beautiful too. She suggested we bring some props and I'm so glad we did, I would not have thought about that myself and they added a special touch. For the cost of the photo shoot, and the quality of the pictures I would definitely recommend La Petit Photo to my friends! I am thrilled about the pictures we got, I got to wear my dress again and now I have more beautiful photos to frame and enjoy as me and my husband grow old! :) Thank you so much Margot!

— ZOE B.

Nonetheless my husband and I were blown away by the incredible pictures Margot took. She leaves you feeling comfortable with the overall satisfaction of knowing she utilized all the photo opportunities, especially with our dogs who were also photographed. The way that she personalized our own photo shoot and created an atmosphere specifically towards our engagement was a wonderful experience and truly something we will never forget. I HIGHLY recommend Margot as your photographer for any event or any personal photo shoot.

— CHRISTIAN C.

BOOK HER NOW!! On a whim my fiancé and I decided that while we visit family in CA we would try to get beach engagement pictures. Being from MD we had no idea where to start looking for a photographer we could trust and would deliver awesome photos. Here on Yelp I found La Petite who's online galleries I went through, I messaged Margot who responded quickly and super professionally. We decided to book with her! Being that I lived on literally the other side of the country she stayed in contact with me, we even had a phone call to discuss what we wanted and what she thought, we asked for her opinion on location being we didn't know the area. Once the day came we had some troubles finding where exactly we were going and she was so quick to call/text landmarks. The session went amazing, she posed us the entire time so we didn't have to awkwardly try to look natural- she really made us look natural! We had a blast (and that's coming from people who normally don't like getting pictures taken). The photos came back super quick and were everything we could've asked for! 10/10 recommend using La Petite, she is the SWEETEST and best photographer I could've grabbed off of yelp

— MIRANDA W.

My partner and I had a session with Margot. I'm not very comfortable in front of the camera but she guided me through the entire process. She created a relaxing and comfortable environment for both of us. Not only is she super sweet and funny but also an amazing photographer. Thank you so much for capturing those special moments between her and I. It's something we will look back at and cherish forever

— NORMA D.

I have not had a professional photo taken of me in well over ten years, but thanks to Margot I now have a whole file of amazing pictures that show what I look like now, but in the best way possible! She truly is the pinnacle of professionalism - making sure that you have a detailed plan and directions for each session. Her specified call sheet was sent out ahead of time with all the appropriate details of where and how to find her for our studio session, even down to how to park and access the studio. Every detail I needed was right there so no questions were left to ask. Once I got there, she made sure I had everything I needed to feel happy, comfortable and confident for a beautiful shoot. We did a mini session which ended up being about 20-30 minutes and she got so many great photos I didn't even know how to choose just a few to keep! Her creativity really shines with finding body movement and bringing out natural expressions to make each shot count. I would absolutely recommend Margot for anything from the intimate family shoot to a full wedding package because she is equipped for all types of situations. Her talent and tenacity are palpable. Don't sleep on this photographer!!

— RACHEL Z.

Margot was absolutely amazing to work with! Before we made anything official, she made sure that we would be able to meet over the phone to chat about ourselves. I will say I was so happy we found a time to make that call because once that call was done my fiancé and I were sure we made the right choice and were we ever correct. We were both nervous day of getting our pictures taken, but Margot put us at ease the moment we saw her! We are both very shy people, but Margot managed to break us out of our shell and we ended up with AMAZING pictures from her! We both cannot recommend her enough!!
