Vanessa Montano Photography

5.0

Brentwood, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Encinitas, CA

Hi there. I am a wedding + lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma and Sacramento areas. My focus is on outdoor weddings: gardens, historic homes, wineries, parks, private estates, forests, national parks, and country clubs. I adore details and love when couples pour their hearts and souls into making their wedding a special day they will remember forever.

I got married in Napa Valley and didn't know who to hire for my professional pictures. The venue recommended a few names and after contacting Vanessa I knew that is who I wanted to work with. She was very caring and patient. She was on time and didn't disrupt the moment when I was getting ready, instead she made it special. She gave us poses to do and talked to the venue to make sure we could go to a little bridge I wanted to take pictures at. I highly recommend her!!

“Imagine By You, Captured By Us” we welcome you to Michael Teddy Photography. Where we specialize in capturing your moments that last a lifetime. We strive to deliver stunning images that tell your unique story.

From the initial consultation to the final delivery of your images, Michael Teddy Photography is committed to providing exceptional service and breathtaking photographs. Every image is carefully edited to perfection, highlighting the beauty and emotion of each moment captured.

We first met Michael as the photographer for our close friends' elopement. His personality was great and he eased our nerves throughout the multiple locations of shooting photos. When my now-husband and I got engaged, we already knew that Michael was our guy! He didn't bat an eye when we asked him to walk a half-mile into the woods carrying his equipment with us for our engagement photos. The photos came out great and were perfect for printing on our wedding invitations. He delivered the photos promptly and we were in love with them! Communications up to the wedding were easy and he was very collaborative. He also asked us what was important to us, and took and gave direction very well. On our wedding day, he and his assistant were so great to work with. Not only did they calm my nerves and reassure me, but they handled communications with the wedding party greatly and made the process feel effortless, even as I was behind schedule (my fault). The photos were delivered much quicker than I anticipated and they are BEAUTIFUL! We are so happy that we stuck with Michael and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for someone fun and easy to work with who does great work. Thanks, team!!

Zack McCoy Photography

Orange, CA
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Encinitas, CA

Hi there! I'm Zack, a wedding photographer from Orange County, Ca. Ever since I was a young kid studying (and sketching!) bugs in the backyard, I've had a fierce love for the details in the little moments of this crazy life. I got my first "real" camera when I was 12 and was instantly hooked. As I grew, so did my passion and ability to translate those moments into memories. I had the chance to help photograph a wedding when I was 17 and wow! What an experience! That night, I looked through the photos and fell in love. I knew that capturing the moments that would mean something to someone for the rest of their life was where I belonged.

Great photographer to work with! Super kind and professional. Working with Zack was a breeze!

Eli Holmes Photo + Film

2.0

Block Island, RI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Encinitas, CA

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.

Savannah Rose Photography

5.0

Knoxville, TN
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Encinitas, CA

Hello! I’m Savannah, the photographer behind Savannah Rose Photography. Photography started out as a fun hobby, but when I was 16 I decided to take a film class in high school and that’s when I realized “this is it”. I have been able to be a full time photographer for 8+ years. I love being able to use my passion for art and photography to help you create uniquely beautiful memories that you will enjoy for years to come. I am definitely guilty of being a bit of a perfectionist which ensures that I do everything I can to give you the best photography experience, whether it be portrait session or on your wedding day.

If you’re in need of a photographer, look no further. Savannah has such a great personality that you instantly feel at ease. She has a fantastic eye for detail so all those little shots, the ones you think of and the ones you don’t, will be captured. When it comes to communication, she is personable, friendly, and very responsive. We have used her for just for fun photos, our wedding photos, welcoming our dog to the family, and what seems to be our new tradition having a photoshoot right around the time of our anniversary each year. We have already decided all life events that we want captured, Savannah will be the one we call. You won’t be disappointed!!

Originally from Colombia, I now call California home! At an early I began to take an interest in capturing the world as I saw it, as I followed my passion in photography it has taken me all around the world. I knew this passion was more than a hobby, so I pursued a degree in production photography and after graduating I decided that it was time for me to start fresh here in the United States. Upon moving here I immediately became captivated by helping others capture their most wonderful memories, especially during what might be one of the most important moments in their lives- their wedding!

It's a gift--isn't it?--that God gave me this business to combine my artist's eye, desire to serve, and absolute exuberance meeting strangers. I am honored to receive. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

That is how we would describe Jamaal's work! From the first consultation, he was very flexible and responsive to putting together a package that fit our needs. His sense of professionalism, yet amicable personality made it very comfortable to work with Jamaal. While taking the pics, he allowed us to just be ourselves, catching many candid shots so the photoshoot felt natural. He made us feel very comfortable throughout all the shoots we did. His finished products are stunning, not to mention he turns it around super fast!! From the 1st consultation all the way to the wedding day, he was always quick to respond and punctual to everything (true story: he showed up like 3hrs before so he could scope spots for our engagement shoot). We will surely use Visuals by J. McKenzie for any other future photography needs!! Thanks Jamaal!!!

I'm a follower of Jesus, adventure lover, wife to Josiah (my husband of four years, personal chef, and favorite weirdo), and dog mom to Solo (the sweetest chihuahua you'll ever meet). When I'm not working, you'll find me with a friend at a coffee shop or curled up at home with a good book or a show; most likely a rom com. I'm a big fan of morning light, cold brew coffee, and dark chocolate anything. My favorite travel destination is the Oregon coast and my perfect day would consist of the beach, hiking, good food, and close friends.

The Honeymooners Productions are a husband and wife duo who are determined to live life like they are on their honeymoon! They specialize in both PHOTO AND VIDEO which simplifies you’re planning process and budget. Their energy for life and love makes them PASSIONATE about your wedding experience! Let's get this party started! Email us about your wedding! We would LOVE to hear alllllllll about your day and your love!

Let me start this off by saying at the top of my lungs - WE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE HONEYMOONERS PRODUCTIONS!! Now that I've gotten that off my chest, here are the reasons why we recommend them to the highest extent: As a lesbian couple it was very important for my wife and I to find a photo & video vendor that was LGBTQ+ friendly. When we asked The Maddie and Luke about that, they instantly made us feel comfortable with their answer. Before the (first) wedding date, they were in constant communication with us and made a point to get to know us well before the big day. Then the pandemic hit, and we had to postpone our wedding. We had already paid our deposit to The Honeymooners and several other vendors. Other vendors were not as kind or accommodating to the change, but The Honeymooners stayed in communication with us through the changes and made it easy. Maddie & Luke had stayed in contact with us throughout, checking in periodically. 1 year later, we had to postpone again due to the on-going pandemic and once again Maddie & Luke took it in stride. They never gave us a reason to worry that they would come through for us. FINALLY, we had our big day. As soon as Maddie and Luke got to the venue it all made sense why we liked them so much. They greeted us like old friends. They were warm, kind, organized, and extremely professional. They just went for it at every step. They just never missed a beat. The few times I asked them to capture a photo of this or a video of that, they had already done it before I even thought of it. Even in how they directed us to pose or activities to capture on camera, it was all perfectly us. Not a single moment felt forced. I truly believe that because they took the time to get to know us before the wedding, that is what made everything they did feel so utterly authentic to us a couple. If it sounds like I am obsessed with them, it is 100% because I am. They weren't just the photo & video vendors that we hired for our wedding, they became our friends through this process. We had an absolute blast with them, and we laughed together all day. They literally made our wedding even better, and I believe that if we hadn't had them there it wouldn't have even been as fun as it was. The very next day after the wedding they sent us about 8 photos, already retouched and perfected as previews of our gallery. We were blown away by how they captured us and our love in just these few photos. What is more is they also created a 1 minute preview video that we have watched about 1,000 times already. Everything from the moments they included, to the song they chose was PERFECTION for us. 1 month after the wedding, they sent us our full photo gallery, full wedding video, and individual videos of specific moments. We were floored by the quality of their work. Everything is even better than we ever expected and we are so thankful to have those memories from the best day of our lives. I also have to note that I am in fashion so I have worked with a ton of photographers and videographers in my career - I can say with professional confidence that Maddie & Luke are some of the most talented people behind a camera I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I could go on and on about these two beautiful humans, but to sum it up - there are not strong enough words for how much we recommend The Honeymooners Productions to every couple (especially our LGBTQ+ family who need that kind of love and care). We love you Maddie & Luke!

The title says it all 2 of my best friends had already booked Ally & Andre, and seeing how they worked on our wedding day, was the reason I knew they would shoot my wedding, (even though I didn't have a partner at the time). Years later, they were the first vendors I booked. I wanted a romantic feel to my wedding photos, and they were fully executed, and I say that full-heartedly as I am a photographer myself. ( I am also picky) Out of all the things that came out of our wedding, our photos were our favorite. Ally and Andre were the most relaxing part of my day, and even though I was so stressed and my groom was hungover, their calm demeanor just made our day so much more special. I highly recommend them and expect more of my friends to use them!

She is always open to ensuring that you as the client have your desires for your wedding photos fulfilled. I always felt like she listened, and worked through fine-tuning details. My husband and I aren't exactly "comfortable" in front of the camera and rarely knew what to do with our hands or where to look and she was always so helpful to ensure we were comfortable and the photos would turn out looking relaxed and at ease. My wedding photos are stunning and I have Aubrey to thank for that! You won't regret choosing her to photograph your most precious day!

Hi! Im Britt (Rene is my middle name, named after my late cuban grandfather). I started off my photography journey with film—my grandfather, Harold, gifted me my first camera in grade school. In high school I hit the darkroom for the first time and i was sold. 10 years running my business and i still love traveling the world, capturing love stories. I am so freakin' grateful.

Britt is one of a kind. From the moment you meet her, you know your event will be in good hands. She is very organized, is thinking two steps ahead of you with photo ops and ideas and has a way of making you feel a little more at home in front of the camera (not an easy task for those of us who find it awkward). If you are looking for pictures to look back on with a smile for years to come AND want one less thing to worry about on your big day-Britt is your person!

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved every minute with Kristina! She traveled to Arizona to shoot our engagement photos and she came all the way to Jamaica to shoot our Wedding. She has such a creative way of capturing the beauty of a single moment so effortlessly. I know, years from now when I see these photos, my heart will still race the way it did that day. For that, I will be forever grateful! When you think about it, there's very little remaining of your wedding day. The flowers have gone, the guests have flown home, you are back at work. About the only thing that remains is the photos, so I think it is a great investment to get the absolute best, and for that I would recommend Kristina Lee Photography every time!

This was a long time of a review coming!!! I booked Jessie & Jason back in August 2019 for my engagement session photos. We chose the Half day session photo coverage, which includes your engagement session! I thought that was super helpful and convenient because the package the engagement session and wedding day photos are lumped into one. The engagement session was amazing! We went to the seven magic mountains and Lake las Vegas at 5 am. They did everything they could and more to make me and my fiance comfortable. We knew that our wedding day photos were going to be epic! Fast forward to Wedding day, August 2020, Jessie was very understanding and accommodating to changing my wedding date. I had to change my date due to COVID, as I am sure many Brides have had to do. The Emerics are very flexible. Do not be afraid to book as if things change, you can always reach out and they will accommodate. Wedding day comes, and oh man. It was Majestic!!!!!!!! It was a dream. I was late thanks to my Lyft and other things.....but the Emerics made sure to keep me, my bridal party, and family ON SCHEDULE. They are also Spanish speaking!! Which is what I needed for my family. They make sure to ask what is important to you as far as photos, and what shots to get. The day of, they never leave your side. I felt 100% total confidence in them that day, and trust me, I am one of those OCD brides who needed to be in control of everything!!! But with them, I let go. Overall it was amazing. I highly recommend them not just for the beautiful photos, but for the experience. It was intimate, supportive and genuinely caring.

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!

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

I showed my best friend some of Rebecca’s work when we were searching for photographers and she marveled that the folks in Rebecca’s photos “feel so much more like real people than other shoots like this.” That precisely captures Rebecca’s work + energy and confirmed our decision to work with her! We worked with Rebecca for our elopement ceremony and our tea ceremony and it was truly a special experience. Rebecca made an huge effort to know and support us as a couple before the event, which helped us trust that she would be there to capture all the right moments and then some! Our family and friends all loved her and we got many questions about how we knew her and if she was a friend of ours (she is now!); this really speaks to her kind, open, and genuine presence. She moved the event along while also treating everyone with respect and compassion. We already knew that her work was incredible and we couldn’t be happier with our own results. We cannot recommend Rebecca enough! You’ll get beautiful, soulful photos and the chance to have an amazing human in your life if you book her!

Hey, I'm Emily! A natural light photographer based in Portland Oregon who specializes in true-to-color edits and authentic captures. Like many photogs out there, I picked up a camera really young and haven’t put it down since. I never wanted to forget parts of my childhood and young adulthood, so it became second nature for me to document the things I loved with photographs in a very real and candid way. Fast forward to today, I couldn’t feel luckier that this hobby became a career focused on preserving life’s most precious moments for others. Who will be the girl behind the camera hyping you up while capturing some authentic moments?

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm so glad that we hired Emily (Simply Wandering Photo) for our wedding. From the first email, she was super responsive and helpful. Neither of us had ever had professional photos taken so we did an engagement shoot with Em before the wedding, and it was fantastic. We were both worried about being awkward (isn't everybody?) and it feeling forced, but she directed us with such ease and confidence that it felt like a breeze - and the photos are perfect. Same for the wedding. Ours was a relatively small backyard-type wedding, and she did a wonderful job of capturing the day, our emotions, the ceremony, family, and the whole setting overall. She's got fantastic photo skills and maybe even more importantly, awesome people skills! Her communication was clear, consistent, and timely, she had tons of suggestions/tips and helpful info, and she just led us through the whole process as if she'd been doing it her whole life. 10/10, definitely recommend.

Unfortunately one of the photographers was late to the wedding and missed our ceremony, and although the lead photographer did an excellent job capturing what he could by himself, this mishap resulted in a crushing lack of photos of my dad walking me down the aisle.

You always picture how your wedding will be. The amazing feeling you will have to see everything you envisioned come together into one beautiful day. How much fun you will have getting ready in the morning with your best friends, sisters, and momma’s. And the love in your Husbands eyes when he see’s his future wife walking down the aisle. You picture the beauty of the day both visually and emotionally, and how you will cherish those memories forever. Perhaps one of the most import jobs on your wedding day is given to who you entrust in capturing those moments. I met Natalie through work. I am a wedding coordinator, and I had reached out to her when I started working in the area. I was in awe over her talent, and straight away felt a connection to how she captured such pure and beautiful moments. I knew after meeting her that she would one day be my wedding photographer! Our wedding day was everything that I could of ever asked for. It was such a incredible day with so much love and beauty. Natalie absolutely blew my already very high expectations out of the water. She is so good at what she does. Natalie made taking all of our photos so much fun. She knew when to allow us to have space and be in the moment, and when to direct and take charge. You want to be able to get caught up in the moment on your wedding day and not have to be the one worrying about who to take photos with or what needs to be captured next. She did such a wonderful job at making sure we got all the shots we needed, but allowing us to enjoy and have fun with all of them. From standing on chairs, to driving up hills, to dancing with us on the dance floor Natalie did whatever it took to get the most raw and sincere footage of our most special day.

I refer everyone I know to Nathan Shute Photography because I know they will be professional, on time, and have every detail taken care of- a dream when working with wedding vendors!

During my time at school, Brooks Photography Institute, I studied multiple types of photography: fashion, commercial, food, nature, architecture, and portraiture. All of this experience has prepared me for bringing professionalism and creativity to every part of your day. I have photographed weddings for 10 years, during which time I learned the ins and outs of the industry. I have traveled to many countries, worked with celebrities and have been there to capture priceless moments for hundreds of people and their families. In 2014, I was recognized by Rangefinders Magazine as one of the 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography.

Angela is a Destination wedding photographer capturing timeless memories. She loves providing couples with candid images that they can look back on for a lifetime. Her passion is to connect and tell couples’ love stories through the beauty and emotion of the moments captured.

We booked Angela for our Winter Park wedding in the spring. She bared with me through changing venues/planning an entirely different wedding. Angela and I really hit it off but even if we didn’t; her work is impeccable and she is so professional. She handled my insane MIL, lifted me up, and made accommodations that she didn’t need to make. Angela is a DREAM to work with and the sweetest of sweethearts. We received our sneak peek one week out and received almost 100 photos! I recommend Angela to anyone who wants a light and airy photography style.

  • Serves Encinitas, CA

CLY BY MATTHEW has evolved at year 2004 from fashion, portrait and still life photography to the wonderful world of wedding photography, which incorporates all three genres. We follow a non-intrusive photojournalistic style for your weddings, which our clients (and their guests) very much appreciate. We concentrate not only on the big picture, but also we take pride in capturing the sincere fleeting moments that evoke the senses the very essence of photography.

Where do I start…I have so many things to praise about Matthew and his team at CLY by Matthew. The search for our photographer took forever, but once I found CLY and Matthew’s work, it was essentially an instantaneous decision. I left the intro meeting/conversation 100% sure we’d hire him. His and his team’s photography is beautiful, elegant, classic, and natural – and it was so easy to work with them from a fit and personality standpoint. I’ll admit, it’s a little awkward to pose for photography! But in the months leading up, and the day of, the wedding, Matthew and his team made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Matthew is one of the kindest people ever, and his calm demeanor made everything so pleasant and easy (especially with the frantic nature of wedding planning!) We are in LOVE with the photos we got back. We still can’t even believe it’s us, and our wedding, because the CLY team captured everything so amazingly. It’s surreal! We are so lucky to have found them and worked with Matthew. I’m hoping to find an excuse in the future to work with him again for professional photography. If you’re here and in the middle of researching photographers, stop reading and contact CLY immediately. You won’t regret it, I promise you.

Hello Friends! I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Long Beach, CA. Weddings are my absolute favorite type of photography and I love hearing about my couples love stories. My commitment to you is to provide with the best images of your life and a feeling that we are going to be friends for awhile. I will walk you through the whole process from start to finish and I'll make sure you take the time to enjoy your special day.

James Korin Photography is WONDERFUL. If you want your wedding day or other special event to run smoothly, be fun, and to capture the important details, look no further. James Korin Photography was recommended to me by a friend whose sister used them for her wedding day. The quality of the photos are awesome. A lot of photos nowadays are super contrasted or look like a preset threw up on them, but James Korin photos are timeless and beautiful — not trendy preset photos. Our wedding photos are beautiful! Thank you!

I have been photographing couples for nearly 10 years and have loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed following them through engagement, wedding, maternity and now family sessions. I have even become life long friends with some of them. I am a mother of 3 and have always loved art, and once I picked up my camera and found a way to tell others love stories, I knew I found what I was supposed to do.

Michelle is always my go to when my clients need a photographer! She is great to work with, easy going and produces amazing photos! She is also my number 1 pick for my family photos!! You will not regret choosing Michelle at Valley Images Photography!!

If it's your first time here, welcome! My name is Shannon Montgomery, and I am a California and travel photographer that specializes in traditional+timeless weddings and elopements. I am always up for a good hike, enjoy rainy overcast days, and will always stop to pet any dogs in reach! Working in the garden, getting to visit any possible farm animal (but especially cows), and walking barefoot make me happiest. I love seeing the beauty in things that have endured the test of time, seen across the challenges and storms, and still stand in their own kind of beauty today.

We hired Shannon for our wedding this year and it was one of the best decisions we made! She not only kept everything on time but she became a friend on that day as well. She captured every picture we wanted on our photo listed and delivered the most beautiful pictures from our day. She is professional, hardworking and the nicest photographer we have met.
