Nichole is amazing at what she does and she makes the entire experience so fun. She has done 2 brand sessions for my business and my maternity pictures.

Highly Recommend Maryjo from A+M Badillo Images. We chose A+M Badillo Images for our Maternity photos and Maryjo has great energy and is professional and enthusiastic throughout the whole process, we literally felt like time flew by so fast from when we started the photo shoot. She gave very clear directions and assisted us with poses. Most importantly, she delivered an outstanding gallery for us in a short amount of time, it's the best surprise we could ask for. Pricing is reasonable and she is very open to communication, all the emails are returned in a timely manner. There's just nothing negative about this experience, and i would like to recommend any couple or families who are looking into professional photography to work with them.

Hello! I’m so excited for the chance to work with you. I’m a former teacher who has always had a passion for photography. I started working freelance in 2015 and did a lot of my first jobs in the music industry! I’ve shot Warped Tour a few times and even had one of my promos featured by AP magazine. I quickly realized I loved working with couples the most, and now focus on couple and family portraits and weddings!

Thalia was so amazing to work with. I got married the end of August and had spoke with a few photographers before speaking with Thalia straight away I knew she was the one for us. So warm and kind and could put us at ease. Myself and my husband wouldn’t love the camera but Thalia was able to make us so at ease, I was honestly shocked. The photos turned out even more amazing then I thought. Thalia also helped with my timeline I didn’t have a wedding planner and she reviewed it and made suggestions. Was always so helpful on answering questions and worked effortlessly with our videographer you would of thought they were a team. On the night of the wedding Thalia made sure to keep us on track with our timeline reminding us of what we should be at. I can’t recommend enough. Really lucky to have found Thalia.

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

So so so highly recommended Fox & Fig Photography! Sarah was very professional and diligent throughout every step of the process. She constantly went above and beyond with all of our questions and wedding day needs. She assisted every step of the way! There is not a moment of our day that wasn’t captured. Her work is beyond stunning and we’ll continue to book with her for all of our future life milestones!

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Our wedding photos are pure magic! Thank you Love Knot for everything you did to help us have a fantastic wedding day and create these fantastic wedding photographs! The wedding album you created was the perfect way to share our love story. My mom called me the moment we shared our album with her and she was literally crying tears of joy. I'm so glad to have these incredible pictures and memories.

Miami, FL

  • Serves Alameda, CA

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

My Husband and I got married April 14th, 2024 and didn't think we'd "need" a Videographer. This was the very last thing we added to our wedding planning.. yes, even after small things like arranging the seating chart, whether we wanted favors, etc. This by far was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. We found Ledd Lens on Zola and inquired about their services about 2 months before the wedding. Usually, couples book videographers at least a year in advance. They asked what our budget was, what we were looking for and came back with 3 options to choose from. The prices were VERY AFFORDABLE and included their TRAVEL to Philadelphia. Having every moment on video to rewatch with our family or just alone is the best feeling after all the planning we did over 13 months. Randall was amazing! He had us choose 3 songs to use in our highlight video, but ended up using 1. The other 2, he chose, and they fit even better than the ones we thought would! He also threw in a few bonus footage as well. Absolutely amazing and professional company to work with. We are so happy!! Thank you Ledd Lens!

I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

My name is Anna and I’m your Queen Bee here at Hey Honey Photography! I am a wedding photographer and love helping couples celebrate! I serve couples local to Northern California, but will hop on a plane for you in a heartbeat. Whether it's a big or small celebration, I'm your gal - basically your professional bridesmaid with camera in hand 😉. I love capturing the unique chemistry between couples and ultimately the je ne sais quoi of you. I believe that storytelling makes the world go ‘round, thus it gives me such great joy to be a part of telling yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Anna of Hey Honey Photography as our wedding photographer was more than just hiring a professional; it was welcoming a cherished friend into our most precious day. From the moment we met, her radiant energy and infectious enthusiasm put us at ease, and her passion for capturing genuine moments shone through. Our wedding in San Francisco was a whirlwind of love, laughter, and joyous chaos, and Anna navigated it all with the grace of a seasoned storyteller. She and her assistant photographer, Linda didn't just document the day; they became part of it, weaving seamlessly into the fabric of our celebration, capturing not just the posed portraits but the fleeting smiles, stolen glances, and unbridled joy that truly define a wedding. But Anna's magic goes far beyond the technical brilliance of her photos. Our guests still rave about her gentle energy and knack for making even the most camera-shy soul feel like a star. She captured not just the faces, but the hearts of everyone who shared our special day. And then came Fort Point. Ah, Fort Point. Anna transformed this historic landmark into a canvas for our post-wedding bridal session, with the breathtaking backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge painting every scene with romance and drama. Her vision, her guidance, and her ability to turn raw emotion into stunning imagery are unparalleled. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding (or in this case, the Business Insider article , 27 of the most beautiful wedding photos taken in 2023, featuring one of our wedding photos!). To see our love story immortalized in a publication is a testament to Anna's exceptional talent and dedication. But even beyond the accolades, what truly sets Anna apart is her heart. She genuinely cares about her couples, taking the time to understand their desires and personalities. She becomes a cheerleader, a confidante, and a source of calm amidst the pre-wedding frenzy. Communication with Anna was always a breeze. Her emails were like sunshine, and her ability to translate our visions into picture-perfect reality was uncanny. Planning with her felt more like brainstorming with a best friend, and by the time the big day arrived, we weren’t just clients, we were co-creators in our own love story. So, dear Anna, if you're reading this, know this: you are more than just a photographer; you are an artist, a storyteller, and a friend. You gifted us not just breathtaking photos, but memories that will forever warm our hearts. Thank you for capturing the essence of our love, for your unwavering support, and for reminding us that magic unfolds when you entrust your story to someone who truly sees it. Without a doubt, Hey Honey Photography deserves not just 5 stars, but a constellation of them. If you're looking for a photographer who will weave your love story into captivating imagery, look no further than Anna. She'll capture your hearts, freeze your joy, and leave you with memories that will forever shimmer with the golden light of San Francisco. With endless gratitude, Your not-so-secret fans, Pearl & Tomo

My husband and I recently made the fantastic decision to hire Hok to photograph our wedding. Throughout the entire process, Hok was attentive, responsive, and kind. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, coming out to the property ahead of time to check lighting and scout photography locations, assuring us that even if it rained our wedding was going to be perfect, and bringing an additional assistant to assure that he would capture all of our special moments in case of rain. He and his team captured every moment, and each photograph feels alive and full of heart. He photographed a range of lighting; indoor, outdoor, morning, sunset, and night sky over a bonfire, all with equal skill. Every time I look at them I feel like I am there again, experiencing moments I was a part of, and even those that I wasn't. Everyone who sees the photos is in awe. I would highly recommend him for any event!

We feel like the luckiest people in the world to have had Cassie and her team as part of our wedding day. Cassie is pure magic with her camera, capturing the most ethereal, timeless, serendipitous, and joyful photos. Her magic lies in her ability to tell the story of the day, and we are able to relive all of our emotions through the day through just her photos. All the anticipatory moments filled with butterflies and giddiness, to the surprise of first looks, the surreal feeling of walking down the aisle, and the collective celebration of getting married. Her craft is both built on her incredible expertise in capturing the momentous moments, and also her ability to make people feel so comfortable. Cassie is so genuine, friendly, professional, communicative, and incredibly comfortable to be around. She gave many gentle reminders to relax, remember we love these people, and lean in closer. You just smile a little bigger when you trust the person behind the camera, and that's exactly what working with Cassie felt like. Everyone in our wedding party commented on how surprised they were that the dedicated photo time felt fun and easy -- all thanks to Cassie and her team. Cassie gave us the wedding photos of our dreams, completely romanticizing our time in Golden Gate Park and Chinatown in San Francisco. We are so grateful for her creative drive, and we give our highest recommendation to anyone thinking about hiring Cassie!

Kathryn did an amazing job photographing our wedding! We had an intimate ceremony on a pier on one of the Finger Lakes. I loved that she arrived at the venue early to scout out scenic spots in the park and caught some great candids of our family. She made it so easy for us -- she was ready with lots of suggestions and ideas for shots to capture after the ceremony. We definitely depended on her expertise and I so appreciated her preparation. You can tell that she is truly invested in your special day! She made us feel at ease, which was especially nice because my husband and I are a little camera shy. She has a great sense of humor and she made us laugh through our photo shoot. I highly recommend Kathryn for your wedding photos.

Lisa is absolutely amazing! She is extremely responsive, creative, reliable, and truly wonderful to work with. Lisa took the photos for our small backyard wedding and they turned out better than we could have ever imagined. The photos were a mix between artsy and regular portraits, which is exactly what we were looking for. Lisa communicated with us significantly beforehand and helped create a list of the different people we wanted photos with and any details we wanted included. She was great at making us feel comfortable and natural and helped guide us with posing. We are using Lisa for our other wedding event later in the year and we are so excited to be working with her again! We cannot recommend Lisa enough!

My husband I made the decision to have a destination elopement in JTNP and hired Love & Latitudes after chatting with them some. I am definitely an over-thinker and looked into so many options in terms of locations, photographers, etc. prior. Making the decision to hire Diana and Isiah was the best decision I think we could have made for our wedding day. They took the stress out of EVERYTHING from the planning process to actual day of coordination. Communication was a breeze and made the process as easy as can-be. We are beyond thrilled with our experience and photos. We had a private ceremony officiated by Isiah. They put so much care into making the experience totally stress-free and special. From helping me with transporting my bouquet and carrying our water bottles and hiking shoes to literally picking individual cactus spurs out of my dress in the desert heat. Not to mention, they also downloaded our playlist as a surprise and had our music on hand where there was no cell service. Because of them and their thoughtfulness, we were able to have a first dance at our ceremony site which we hadn't even thought of planning for ourselves. On top of how memorable and smooth of an experience we had, it was fun sharing our wedding day with them. Plus, and importantly, the actual photos we have from our wedding day are absolutely phenomenal! Diana managed to capture the most authentic-feeling, beautiful and creative images of this memorable time.

When planning our wedding, photographer ranked the most important to us. We did intensive due-diligence and sourced hundreds of vendors in Northern and Southern CA. Ultimately, our favorite photographer of the vendors we looked at was Jasmine. It was an added bonus that she was local and already a recommended vendor for our venue (Villa Montalvo). Her talent was unmatched and her portfolio of soft, timeless, romantic images was high-quality. She photographed 2 engagement shoot sessions and our wedding. Jasmine has this very sweet and calming presence about her which was super appreciated. Jasmine was not only able to capture some immaculate shots during all our photoshoots, she captured stunning scenery photos as well- and made it so fun! On our wedding day, she was proficient, profound, and very detailed. She identified the best lighting, found the right angles, created great displays, and spotted timeless moments. Her visualization really is impressive-- and she brilliantly captures instances with such beauty and exquisiteness and makes it look effortless! On top of that, she is a wonderful person, respectable and down-to-earth.

Annie has a way of capturing the best moments, to be everywhere all at once and yet be invisible at the same time! Her professionalism from the first day we met her until she delivered the photographs (and she delivered the photos much sooner than expected!), Annie Hall was one of the best vendors we worked with. She shared full galleries with us before making a decision, help us figure out the best photo package for our needs without, followed up with clear emails and processes throughout, listened to our needs and preferences, and on the day of the wedding, was one of the hardest working folks out there! She was everywhere and didn't seem to stop to take photos of all the moments. Annie worked very well with us, our families and friends, and other vendors which made for a smooth and fun wedding and it shows in the photographs! If you're hesitating because of costs, I highly recommend to cut costs elsewhere and hire Annie as soon as possible because she gets booked up quickly! My only regret was not having her at our rehearsal dinner and other pre-wedding events. Don't make the same mistake, get Annie Hall as your photographer today!

I would highly recommend him to any person looking to capture the essence of their wedding day and of their beloved family and friends. Regarding the business perspective: my partner and I planned our wedding from afar and from the start Jason was responsive and easy to work with. I admire that he didn’t pressure us on hurrying to book the way other photographers did and he made the time to connect with us. He was also able to process photos quickly and with high quality. Regarding the photos: we purchased his engagement and wedding day package and I could not be happier and think he was priced very competitively. My partner and I had previously had engagement photos done with another vendor and their quality was not even comparable to Jason’s. Because of Jason’s photo journalistic nature and our desire to avoid a lot of staged poses Jason built a beautiful story of us and our engagement and wedding day. His photos are striking, surprising, and beautiful. He captured heartfelt moments that I did not see during our wedding, too. Our friends and family are in love with the photos that we have shared with them and we are so honored to have had Jason capture our wedding day.

Our life together has been an adventure. I knew I wanted something special to encapsulate the essence of us for our 10 year vow renewal. Natural Unions' photography was perfect. The day was an adventure itself. They were flexible with our sporadic nature and changing weather. We went to many locations to find the Goldilocks of what we were looking for. When we verbalized our commitment to each other it was in the serenity of nature. The photos are absolutely breathtaking and ones we will cherish for the rest of life’s adventure together.

Picking a wedding photographer is honestly one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning simply because there are so many options and it’s hard to find one you trust. We were so lucky to run into Nicole at a wedding show and we instantly knew she was not only professional and kind, but that we can trust that she would put her all into her work. Nicole constantly met and exceeded my expectations. She is extremely organized, thorough and creative. You honestly cannot find a better wedding photographer out there. Not only for her wonderful personality and the ease that you will be able to work with her, but her style and art are truly breathtaking. I have absolutely no regrets hiring Nicole and she will be our family photographer from this point forward. If you have the opportunity to work with her, don’t pass it up!!

But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were.

When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Azaria is like the best friend photographer that every couple needs. Hands down I would hire Azaria again, she was able to handle the chaos of a large family while still being attentive to our needs as a couple while we were taking photos. She was not only a photographer, but an extra set of hands, she fit in like another family member, always willing to help. She helped me get dressed, made sure I was hydrated on the hike to the photoshoot location, and held my hand to make sure I never fell while in heels. I was completely comfortable and trusted her throughout the process to deliver seriously beautiful photos! I found Azaria super last minute, like less than 2 weeks out and she was so great and willing to make it work! She was communicative and super thoughtful about every little detail, giving us pointers and advice to make sure we could have the best possible outcome for an outdoor photoshoot in April. For those who are having multicultural weddings, or more culturally traditional weddings, Azaria is the perfect photographer for the occasion. She understood the importance of my culture's wedding process and clothing, and was extremely respectful and open-minded throughout. I highly recommend her for your next occasion!

We were searching around on Google and Meg Cooper's website showed up. As soon as we saw her photos, we knew that she'd capture the aesthetic we wanted for our wedding photos. Upon reading more about her on her website, we absolutely knew that we had to have Meg as our photographer. We could not be more thrilled with how our wedding photos came out. Meg captured everything so perfectly. We planned our wedding during Covid shutdowns, so decided to do a backyard wedding at my parents' house. We were a little unsure how my parents' backyard would look on camera, but Meg absolutely nailed it! We would recommend Meg in a heartbeat to a friend, and definitely would love to hire her for any future photography needs. We are still in awe over how beautiful our wedding photos are, and we know that we'll cherish them for years to come. Not only did our photos come out amazing, but Meg made our wedding extra special with all of the little touches along the way before, during, and after the wedding. All of the questionnaires and conversations we had beforehand made us comfortable knowing that we had made the right choice in hiring her. Things like calling the morning of the wedding to see if I wanted any coffee or breakfast, sending us a recording of our ceremony while we were on our honeymoon, and sending us the sneak peaks the night of the wedding after an incredibly long day were so incredibly thoughtful. Not only did we get the most amazing wedding photos out of the day, but we feel like we made a friend along the way

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

What more could you want in a photographer? What drew me, initially, to Natalie was her bright and light photos that captured candid moments beautifully. My husband and I have a very fun-loving personality and to find a photographer that captured every laugh was an instant-win. Natalie took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we could not be happier, as every photo was absolutely amazing and told a story throughout the engagement session and wedding. I will always look back on these photos with the biggest smile on my face, because they are simply beautiful. You can tell that she is painstakingly meticulous in curating the perfect gallery for you and that she loves her couples. If you're thinking of hiring Natalie for your wedding, do not hesitate. She was an absolute dream to work with and I hope we can work together in the future!

We absolutely loved working with Jenni for our engagement photos! She made the entire experience so much fun. Both of us felt so comfortable and like we were given so much to work with. She is amazing with communication! The planning process was great, she was super helpful with choosing a location and working with the weather that was there that day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Angela and Michael are amazing and I am so happy we hired them. They photographed my friend's wedding and when I saw her pictures, I absolutely had to have them do my own. They are incredibly kind and are there not to just take your pictures, but to make sure your wedding goes smoothly. Angela is a pro at kindly but firmly getting the people you want pictures with rounded up and focused so you can be sure to get all your pictures with the people who matter to you and still have time to enjoy the reception with them. Wedding nerves? Angela will step in and help calm you down. I'm convinced she is a superhero. Michael was on the train with the wedding party after the ceremony and when the champagne and shenanigans started and was very kind while the wedding party got a little silly. Anyway, hire Angela. You will not regret it.

My name is Helena, pronounced Ha-Leen-nuh (don't worry I get it all the time haha) I am a San Francisco native and ex-Silicon Valley techie who decided to take leap of faith (during the pandemic) to pursue my dreams of being a full-time Wedding Photographer. This journey has been SO wild, but I don't regret a minute of it. When you hire me, you hire not only a photographer, but a planner and a cheerleader as well ;) If you like dogs or cats, coffee (oat milk lattes FTW), thriving plants, outdoor adventures, dancing, and sunsets, I think we'll get along great ;)

I can’t say enough great things about Helena! We found her by briefly searching through Instagram and were in awe of her work. What stood out from the start was her unique ability to capture the happiest of moments, nothing ever looking staged or forced. She was so incredibly responsive right away! I proceeded to “interview” Helena and from the first phone conversation she put me at ease. I had “interviewed” at least 5-6 other photographers, and kept coming back to her galleries. On the day of our scheduled shoot, the Bay Area fire season led to some unpredictable issues - air quality, smoke and hazy sky. Helena worked with us through changing the original location two hours before the shoot and her positivity never skipped a beat. Throughout the photoshoot, it felt like we were hanging out with a close friend - Helena has a true talent for making people feel comfortable! She directed us through the process and contributed to many laughs along the way. Her beautifully captured photos were delivered in such a quick manner - I’m honestly stunned, don’t know how she does it! Thank you, Helena. We will be sure to work with her again in the future!

Julio brings a great energy to the wedding festivities. I was a bit nervous being the center spotlight in photos and his fun/calm demeanor made our photos fun and feel like a breeze AND they turned out amazing! I asked for Julio to capture the party and everyone having a great time and he did just that. It is so fun to look back on the photos and feel like I'm there again :) He was very easy to coordinate with and overall a delight to work with. My sister-in-law ended up having Julio come to her vow renewal and was also amazed at how all of the photos turned out. He is basically part of the family at this point! Cannot say enough nice things.
