Gavin Moss Photography
Elk Grove, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800

Welcome. If you’ve made it this far, you’re somewhat interested in who I am and why I love photography. I live in Sacramento with my girlfriend. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, hiking, disc golfing, cooking and of course eating. I grew up around photography since Polaroids. Predating digital playback, you had to shoot and see what came out of your experimentation and why one of my greatest joys is to enjoy the moments of photography. Having a great time and it shows its' truth through the images that you take.

I have photographed many different niches, many events, many families, many milestones and my *ROCK* will always be love. Love is the foundation of every milestone thereafter and there is just something about it that I can’t get enough of! Every love is unique and it is truly a passion of mine to authentically capture it in whatever way is unique to each story.

As a Wedding Planner, I recognize the crucial nature of the relationship between a planner and a photographer in bringing couples' dream days to life. In October 2023, I had the privilege of collaborating with Nichole under challenging circumstances when a bride's photographer unexpectedly withdrew on the wedding day without a backup plan or prior notice. Instead of delivering the disheartening news with no solution, I spent two hours that morning searching for a replacement. Fortuitously, I contacted Nichole, and to my relief, her immediate response was not centered around budget inquiries such as "What's their budget?" or "How much are they willing to spend?" Instead, she compassionately stated, "Send the address and details. I'll be there ASAP because no bride deserves to be without pictures on their wedding day." Nichole's swift action and selfless attitude truly saved the day for the bride and groom, who were ecstatic with the photos. This incident not only showcases Nichole's exceptional work but also underscores her outstanding character. Despite reaching out to numerous photographers, she was the sole individual who demonstrated genuine empathy for the situation. Nichole's approach was marked by a delightful and relaxed demeanor, earning her widespread acclaim from everyone at the wedding. The resulting pictures not only exceeded the couple's expectations but also surpassed what they had initially envisioned from their original photographer. The entire situation unfolded seamlessly, and I am wholeheartedly recommending Nichole to everyone indefinitely. From a wedding planner's perspective, if you need a photographer, she is unequivocally the person to choose. Thank you, Nichole, for everything!

Sacramento, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800

Hey y'all, I'm Meagan! This is typically the section where I should hype myself up, but instead, I’m going to actually tell you about me! I am a Northern California couples, elopement, and wedding photographer who encourages all my clients to include their dogs! Wondering where Lou Grace comes from? My business name is a tribute to my late grandfather, my guardian angel, and greatest supporter. I drink iced coffee year-round and I prefer Dutch Bros over Starbucks. I love country music but listen to just about everything and love a good song recommendation. Also, I’m obsessed with my dogs! Let me know if we have anything in common :)

I’ve worked with Meagan a few times on photoshoots and she always does so amazing! I mean WOW! Her work is incredible. She’s very professional, kind and on top of everything. She went above and beyond! I will definitely be doing a another couple shoot with her in the future.

Courtland Photography

Sacramento, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900

Sacramento wedding photographer. Army veteran. Travel addict. Storyteller. Your wedding is one of the most important chapters of your life's story. It deserves to be documented, showcased, and preserved. After eight years of photographing hundreds of weddings, I understand what it takes to capture the essence of your big day. I go the extra mile to understand your unique needs, wants, and values, and showcase your wedding memories with creative, emotional, and authentic photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Courtland is one of the best wedding photographers out there. When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we had a few other photographer plans fall through and we couldn't be happier that we were referred to Courtland. From the very beginning Courtland was constantly learning more about us as people to get a better idea of what we wanted in our wedding photos. During our wedding, he made us feel comfortable and helped us throughout the process (as a hobbyist photographer myself, I feel very uncomfortable being on the other side of the camera) with getting us in the perfect position and lighting to create some amazing photos. He had us fill out information about ourselves and when we had our wedding photo reveal, he got us gifts from the questionnaire he had us fill out earlier, which made it feel all the more personal to us. We are very happy to be his "Clients for Life" and we highly recommend Courtland to anyone.

Fits & Stops Photography

Sacramento, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,850

I’m a sucker for a story, especially a love story. Ever since beginning a love affair with photography in Scotland, I’ve worked to capture striking photography for hopeless romantics. From traditional weddings to elopements, I’m game to capture creative and sentimental moments in timeless color.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so glad we found P.J. from Fits and Stops Photography. From the early planning stages, he was attuned to our needs and photographic wishes. Prior to booking him for the wedding, we did an engagement photo session with him. We were very happy with his professionalism, creativity, and fun personality. He had the photos to us quickly and we were so happy with his work that we booked him for our wedding. He created a custom wedding photo package tailored to our photography needs. We planned a relatively small wedding at a family’s vineyard, but then the global pandemic happened. In the months and weeks leading up to our wedding P.J. was incredibly flexible, understanding, and accommodating. As our plans continued to change weekly and then daily, P.J. remained positive and supportive. Because of the pandemic, we had so many stressors and challenges, but P.J. was never one of them. We knew no matter what we still wanted to be married on our original date and even if no one could attend, we wanted P.J. there to take photos. Literally days before our wedding, we finalized a plan to do an elopement ceremony deep in the forest. It required a long drive to the mountains, a bumpy ride on a dirt road, a hike into the woods, and a short climb to a rocky overlook. Not exactly what P.J. thought he was getting into when we booked him for a vineyard wedding months ago, but he was 100% on board with our new plan and so excited for us. It meant a lot to us to have all his positive energy and enthusiasm with us on our wedding day. Though our wedding did not go as we thought it would when we planned it many months ago, our wedding was beautiful and P.J. did a fantastic job capturing the elopement ceremony. The day after our wedding he sent us a few photos to share with our family and friends sheltering in place around the globe. His photos meant so much to those who were eagerly waiting to gather for our wedding, only to be devastated when we had to alter our plans. Many people commented they felt they were right there with us as they looked through P.J.’s photos. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience working with P.J. We look forward to the day when we can all gather safely in celebration and we hope we can have P.J. there to capture all those special moments with our family and friends.

My name is Robert McBride. I am a professional wedding and event photographer based in Sacramento, CA. I have photographed more than 120 events in Northern California. I have loved photography since high school in the 80s. I have an amazing day job where I have worked for 20+ years so I sincerely don't do this for the money. I really just love photography and weddings in particular. I try to keep the prices reasonably priced to cover my costs and gear but really I want you to have professional pictures and still have money for things like a honeymoon :)   

I've worked with Robert McBride of McBride Pictures on multiple weddings, and it's always a pleasure. He's responsive to my emails, easy to work with on the wedding day, and quick to turn around the photos, which always look beautiful. I think my couples have felt comfortable with him behind the camera, guiding them into poses that will look flattering in the final photos. I'm always happy when I have a wedding with Robert!

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, toting around a neon 35mm point and shoot camera, constant exploration was my default setting. Now, after eight years as a professional wedding and lifestyle photographer, I find myself driven by deep human connection and the exquisiteness of nature. I have shot over 100s of weddings, collaborated with conscientious small businesses, artists, makers, musicians, travel companies, and non-profit organizations to tell their stories in meaningful ways. I have been able to give back to my community and the charities I believe in by donating monetarily, with my art, and with my time.

We started capturing weddings through covid when we were stuck at home and needed to find some way to be creative. Savannah went to school for videography and Jon is an OG drummer turned videographer that has really enjoyed getting to create. If we aren’t celebrating you and your love story, you can find us at the beach, probably eating some yummy food, and missing our fluff ball kitty at home. We are so easy going and love to be spontaneous with our plans.

I could go on for quite some time about Hopkins Co & my wedding experience using them. Jon & Savannah are both talented & passionate about capturing moments, & it's evident every step of the way. Savannah was such a big help leading up to the wedding. She answered my many questions & always gave calm reassurance (which is super helpful in what can be a hectic planning period). My husband & I went into the day knowing the timeline & what to expect, and Hopkins Co totally overdelivered. Every moment of the day was captured so beautifully, and all of our guests still compliment us on our photos & video. If you're looking for a photographer who will make your day not only a breeze, but also a stunning collection of memories, LOOK NO FURTHER. They're it! If I could get married all over again, they would without a doubt be re-hired.

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

We're so excited to hear about your wedding plans and to start chatting-- we'll do our best to get back to you within 24 hours. A great way to start getting to know us is over on Instagram where we post and share behind the scenes on stories almost daily: @eicharphotography Head to our website to see our images in full res and to stalk us some more: www.eicharphotography.com Looking forward to your email!

In a covid wedding world, Lauren and Jamie showed up for us. From the start, they were eager to get to know us, understand our vision, and do everything they could (above and beyond) to help it come to life. We put together a ceremony on a cliff, sight unseen, but Lauren and Jamie scouted locations for us, talked us through logistics, and were exactly the people we needed with us to make this day happen. They are creative and adventurous, detail-oriented and responsive. Looking back, they were the piece that held everything together from planning to watching it all unfold in front of us. They were discreet during our intimate ceremony and we were able to just be ourselves and enjoy the day. They captured incredible moments and classic portraits that we will cherish forever. Our guests still talk about Lauren hopping on Jamie's shoulders to get an epic group shot on the cliffside. It is more than just earning a paycheck for these two, they are genuinely kind and talented people that you want with you on such a memorable day. Our best wedding decision was hiring Eichar Photography!

I've been a photographer for over a decade and that journey has made me come to realize that nothing makes me happier than making those behind my lens feel amazing about themselves. My goal is to be so much more than your photographer. I'd love for you to consider me your friend especially because we'll be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day. Trust me to help fix any strands of hair that get in your face, straighten out your outfits, help you pose, and encourage you to enjoy this momentous day.

A little late to review… BUT! I couldn’t be more happier than to write this for Tooney. Tooney, your photography skills are simply amaaazing. I mean you managed to capture each important moment on camera in such style and grace. It was so much fun to look through the photos, I must’ve looked at it a hundred times! Thanks for being such a great shooter, you’re seriously a pro at making the shots so easy and fun. We’re so lucky to have you as our engagement shoot photographer!! The app and the website you created was so easy to use, and so beautiful. Everything about our shoot was memorable, thank you so much for the fantastic pictures! We can’t wait to print and post em on our walls 3

Russ was an absolute dream to work with. Fun, friendly, great at sorting all the details beforehand and an absolute star on the day. The photos were stunning – we'd initially questioned whether we would even bother with a photographer, but after working with Russ, I can tell you, it is 200% worth it. Me and my husband have never looked so good in a photo in our lives (and likely never will again...). Russ perfectly balanced being a fly on the wall when it mattered (during the ceremony, etc), with giving us some much needed guidance for fun group shots and portraits. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Book him now!!

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

We are SO happy we had Sarah as our photographer. From the very beginning when we first reached out, she was organized and on top of her game! After our initial consult we knew we had to book her ASAP. Sarah is such a bright and fun presence. She brought the BEST energy to both our sunrise engagement shoot and our full wedding day when a hype woman is exactly what we needed. She is positive, confident, fun, and just plain GREAT at what she does! As for her photography, I’m sure that can speak for itself - it is truly gorgeous!! She beautifully captures meaningful moments and the results are phenomenal. She got so many sweet candid and action shots that captured the emotions of the day so well. Finally, Sarah was always professional and great with communication. It helps that she is a genuinely kind person who so clearly wants your day to turn out perfectly! Seriously, you won’t go wrong with booking Sarah. 11/10 would choose her again in a heartbeat!

We first hired Lisa from Bustle & Twine to photograph our wedding in 2016, based on a recommendation from a friend. Working with her was wonderful, from the ease of communication to her professionalism and flexibility. We currently have several of her photos on our wall at home and they make me smile every time I see them. She managed to find the right backdrops to create pictures that aren't just lovely mementos, they are works of art. To our surprise, she sent us first peek images in less than 24 hours, which was amazing and so fun to look at on our honeymoon! Beyond her talent as a photographer, Lisa is also such a kind person that she makes everyone feel comfortable and she is always open to questions, comments, or suggestions. I can't imagine a better wedding photographer. And I should say that we loved Lisa's work so much that we've now had her take family pictures for us four years in a row. We now have two (sometimes grumpy) little kids and she is AMAZING at getting them to behave and look their best while choosing locations that are amazing backdrops for what could otherwise be run-of-the-mill family photos. We've gotten so many compliments on her pictures and we will continue to work with her as much as possible. She is truly the best.

However, once we received our wedding photos, we were absolutely blown away! Not only did he take absolutely breathtaking portraits and capture big moments throughout the day, but he caught a lot of sweet little moments of our guests. After sharing the gallery with some of our family and friends, many of them commented “ I can’t believe your photographer caught this moment of my sons, dad, mom, etc”. We are completely able to re-live our day with his photos. I don’t even understand how he was able to do it, but he also put together an 11 minute highlight video capturing our vows, big moments and many more little moments throughout the day!

Jos and Tree came highly recommended to us and, having worked with them, we now know why! A lot of people take wedding photos. Among them are a handful of folks who are also reliable, professional, and pleasant to work with. And within that smaller group, is an even smaller group of photographers who have real artistic vision matched with technical skill. Jos & Tree are, without a doubt, near the top of that select group. The images they produced of our wedding run the gamut from traditional wedding photos to absolute masterpieces of lighting, composition, and technical execution. Here's an example: as the day was wrapping up, and a bit *after* Jos and Tree's deadline for leaving had passed, they quickly posed my wife and I in front of a tree in the park; Jos had a vision for an image he wanted to capture in the fading light... and the resulting image proved absolutely magnificent; it is my favorite photo of the day, and among the top photographs I have seen anyone create, anywhere. On top of the artistic talent and skill, Jos & Tree were an absolute pleasure to work with; responsive, pleasant, personable, and fun. They were always on time, and ready to work... and work they did!! The amount of effort and energy they put into capturing lots of beautiful and creative images cannot be overstated. And then, they edited them beautifully, and have been working with us to select images to print and put in a book. The quality of their artistic consultation has been phenomenal. My wife and I have seen a lot of wedding photos that people proudly post online on sites like reddit. I can confidently say that I've yet to see more interesting and beautiful wedding photos than the ones I've seen from Jos and Tree. It's a pleasure to give these two lovely people our highest recommendation.

Artistic storytelling for the fun, kind and adventurous. Hi friend! :) I'm your neighborhood artist, goofy empath, & lover of dogs and human beans. (Name is pronounced Hasmeen, kinda like jalapeño) My goal is to be a source of joy and vulnerability in your life while helping you feel grounded on your big day and ~even more~ grateful for the life you live and the love you choose. 

Awarded Best of Zola
Jazmín made our wedding day so incredibly special, capturing every detail and all the big moments as well. She is SO talented! From being willing to balance on a mossy log to get some gorgeous water pictures to making my husband and me (and our bridal party) feel so comfortable in front of a camera, Jazmín is so professional, kind, and has an eye for capturing the feeling and beauty of a place. She covered our day from beginning to end, and without her, we wouldn't have had many pictures from our day. We've never had professional photos taken of us before, and every photo Jazmín has taken of us is our favourite. We feel REALLY lucky to have had her there to capture so many moments of that day and to be able to look back on her work brings back so many happy memories. Thank you, Jazmín! (BOOK HER for your engagement shoots, your weddings, your family portraits - it'll be the BEST thing you do!).

I'm here for it!

We shoot with intention; for our couples not for our portfolio, creating timeless memories you can relive and relive for the years to come. We work closely with our couples to guarantee a wedding album they've always dreamt of.

We absolutely LOVED having Alyssa and her husband be our wedding photographers! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot we new we had made the right choice. Even though I truly hate being the center of attention and getting my pictures taken, Alyssa made us feel so comfortable so that we could enjoy the day and be in the moment. Leading up to the wedding, she was super responsive to all my questions and when the big day came along everything went so smoothly. Alyssa even fixed my makeup when I cried it all off after the ceremony!! We love our pictures so much. They capture the day perfectly and I don’t think anyone could have given me the simple outdoorsy/elegant summer camp vibe that I wanted except for her.

My style is natural and photojournalistic. I love capturing unscripted moments because those are the type of photos that tell a richer story of your day. Working with me means nothing overly posed, nothing awkward, nothing that doesn't feel like YOU. While we'll spend some time doing portraits, my priority is for you to be present and enjoy your wedding day. I like to shoot discreetly with an emphasis on candids so from the moment you first see each other to that last hilarious toast, you’ll be relaxed and focused on one another and not even noticed I’m there.

We cannot recommend Vivian highly enough for your wedding photography! We had multiple guests compliment her professionalism and stealthiness on the day of the wedding. Vivian’s calm demeanor was MUCH appreciated on the hectic wedding day. She is a superstar. She made sure we didn’t fall behind with our timeline even though we had requested a large number of portraits. Even though we’re a bit camera awkward Vivian was great at posing us and guests for shots. But where Vivian really shines is all of the candid shots that capture the pure joy and excitement of the day! She was so fast to provide us with our wedding photos, and we love looking back at them. The photos are framed well, have true to life coloring, and are just beautiful.

For some unknown reason I have loved weddings since I was a kid. That’s the first thing. But then… I got married. And that is indescribable. So… if you happen to be here because you have met someone special, and you are making moves, CONGRATULATIONS! You really are in for the ride of a lifetime. So… my first photos? Yup. They were from a wedding! Unfortunately they took the human knee as their subject because I was short, because I was five years old. One auspicious day I brought a camera to a friends’ wedding. I partied. I had a fabulous time. Afterwards they told me I should have said something, my photos were better than the hired pro.

We hired Paul for our San Francisco wedding and it was easily one of the best decisions we made. In addition to beautifully (and creatively) capturing the energy and excitement of the day, Paul was also an absolutely pleasure to work with at ever step of the way. Our wedding was in San Francisco this past August and had approximately 65 people in attendance. To say that we had high expectations for our wedding photographer was an understatement: we wanted someone who would be able to capture the dynamic energy and emotion of our big day in a natural, joyful way. I am happy to say that Paul exceeded all of our expectations and then some. We initially reached out to Paul in February through his website and we scheduled an introductory phone call. At that time I was chatting with a few different photographers in the Bay Area but was impressed at Paul's thoughtful questions regarding our vision of big day as well as the logistical considerations (venue locations, lighting , size, etc). From our first meeting at his lovely home, Paul was kind, thoughtful, considerate which made us feel like we were in good hands and helped put us at ease during the craziness of the planning. He asked us to consider which moments would be most important to our wedding and helped us think through the logistics of the day. Paul was also helpful in planning some of the big day itself: we had scheduled a city tour with our guests to occur between the ceremony and reception but were unsure where to go in the city. He recommended locations that would be both enjoyable for our guests and would make good backdrops for photos. In addition to the city tour, the day itself had a lot of moving parts which could have been really challenging to photograph (indoor ceremony in City Hall, outdoor brass band parade in full sunlight, indoor reception with low lighting in small antique store). Paul and his second shooter were well prepared and able to shot gorgeous photos in every location. Paul was also very mindful of which moments would be most meaningful to us. For example, we had mentioned that we specifically wanted lots of dancing photos from the reception and so Paul made sure a remote flash lighting system was set up in the reception venue which made for some fantastic dance floor shots. We had also said that we wanted to make sure we had a lot of candid photos of our friends of family and so Paul made sure to mingle among our guests, putting them at ease and getting natural, candid photos of our loved ones. After the wedding, Paul was able to send us our sneak peaks only after 24 hours (!) and the full gallery a short time after that. At this point, I was already very impressed but what happened after that really blew me away: Paul emailed me a few weeks after the wedding to me to ask if he could photograph some details from the wedding that he wasn't able to get on the big day (handkerchiefs from the brass band parade, wedding invitations, etc). He told me that he felt that those details were important in telling the story of our wedding and he wanted to make sure they were captured. I realize that it would've been easy for Paul to simply send the photos he already had but the fact that he found it was important to capture all the small details really speaks to his thoughtfulness, professionalism and excellence. We can't thank you enough, Paul!

We're a Scottish duo living our best lives in Los Angeles! We appreciate unpopular TV shows, all the vegan food, and a good old road trip. But our most favorite thing is our two fur-kids (bunnies!). We are not typical wedding photographers, that is for certain. We go against the usual grain, and that's exactly how we like it to roll. Normal is boring. Well, for us, at least. Not just for the 'wild at heart' and 'free-spirited'. For e v e r y o n e. And we mean it. We don't discriminate. Ever.

Amazing! I really wish they planned events because I would hire them for everything. Sarah Darren were the kindest, most responsive, helpful, and patient vendors we hired for our wedding. Darren even helped move our ceremony arch! Totally not his job but we really appreciated the help! My husband and I hate taking pictures and we felt so comfortable on our wedding day. We really didn’t want cheesy traditional wedding photography so when we stumbled upon their instagram page we knew we had to hire them. Major plus that they love Harry Potter, Stranger Things, and spooky stuff! They’re the coolest humans. Hire them. You won’t regret it.

Elopements are an incredible way to fuse together everything you love about doing life with your person and celebrate your relationship in a genuine, meaningful way. They allow you to put your marriage first. To release any pressure or judgment and just be you, together. Not only are you committing your life to someone you love more than anything, but you’re starting the adventure of a lifetime with an adventure of a lifetime. And because I’ll be there to help you craft the whole thing, and document it as it unfolds, you can relive your best day ever; over and over, forever.

I shot my first elopement wedding film with Jayne and she was such a joy to work with! Not only was she helpful in making sure I could get the shots I need, but she definitely had a rapport with the couple that really put them at ease. The other thing that really stood out was how thoughtful and detailed she was. She had done so much scouting, research, and leg work that the day just flowed really well and everything was just easy!

We had the best experience working with Marissa for our wedding! For one, she has an amazing personality - she is fun and lighthearted, so easygoing, AND also very responsible and on top of things (which I so appreciate)! For two, we had the unfortunate timing with COVID of having to postpone our wedding and our engagement shoot, and she made it super easy. She helped me many times in the planning process, from walking through the timeline, to picking out my bridesmaid dress color. Day of, she contributed so well to the fun vibe of the day, kept us on time and therefore not stressing out, and captured some AMAZING photos of us! She also captured so many awesome candids during our day, that looking back you can really see and remember how people felt, what the vibe of the day was, and the funny things that happened too (like when my friend spilled white wine on my dress and Marissa came to the rescue with napkins;)) Thank you so much Marissa!

To me, photography is a medium that requires time, humility, thought, and trust. It is an art that lasts beyond yesterday, today and tomorrow. It captures moments of transition and development; and encourages light and vulnerability. It finds the light even where darkness may dwell. It shows order to chaos. And it celebrates courage, confidence and natural beauty. All that to say the heart behind my images are found where growth and humility meet and form something beautifully authentic. My desire is to capture that and make it last.

LOVE LOVE LOVE our gallery! The best, sweetest, most lovely memories from our wedding. Emma was like having your closest friend there photographing the best part of the day. She got the big stuff but also gave us some beautiful shots of family and friends. I love looking through our album. It brings a big old smile to my face every time! She's incredible!

Life is full of amazing moments. Moments we want to hang onto tight, moments we want to never forget, moments we want to be able to re-experience anytime. There is a way to do just that - photography. How often have we looked at a photo and the whole memory comes flooding back? How often does a photo make us laugh or cry? When we share photos with others, they want to know more about the moment. We share the stories, and in doing so, we bring them in on the memory too.

Without Angela & James my wedding would have been postponed or cancelled. Angela gave me info to help my wedding possible in the time of COVID. And let me tell you... they are TRULY A BLESSING. The best investment we made for the wedding was photography. I told my husband that was something I would not budge on and I’m glad I didn’t, Angela and James became like friends to us. I text Angela on the holidays and even when my son was born! They pay so much attention to detail that looking back at my photos they captured moments that I didn’t even realize were a part of my wedding. Their turnaround time is remarkable, all the sneak peaks made me want to see more and more and when I got the final photos I was in awe of all of them. Thank you to Angela & James for capturing the beautiful moments of our wedding!!!! Such genuine people and I’m glad that we met them and built a friendship!!!!

I’m Adilene the happiest & loudest wedding photographer in the Inland empire! I’m also a mom, wife & golden hour obsessed. I can be easily be bribed with sour candy and sunshine. I will bring my camera to all the fun adventures under the sun & capture all the cheesy and raw moments.

We had the opportunity to work with Adilene for a wedding at our venue. She was great to work with from start to finish! She even went out of her to send our team a few photos of our couple for our social media pages. The photos were beautiful and are always a hit when we post them! In fact, we love her work so much that we asked her to be a part of our preferred vendor's list. We highly recommend Adilene Garcia Weddings to everyone!
