I worked with Steven at one of my very first weddings. He was very personable and willing to help guide us as we were entering the world of working a wedding! His work is absolutely breathtaking, one of the best photographers/ videographers out there!

Hello there. Holy moly, I've been photographing all the pretty things, places and people for 12 years! I am a proud Mama to 3 kiddos, so I get the chaos that comes with love, life and the little ones. I love to dive right in and figure out what story I've been invited to tell. Who are you? I want to know your why. Why do you want your pictures taken and why me. Together we'll create your wardrobe with intention and choose a location that speaks to you. I always encourage connection, music, kisses and your best dance moves.

We have used Laurie Ann Martin Photography for multiple occasions and every time I have been more than happy with the results. She is easy to talk to and communication has always been great. She made sure to get detail shots, which I forgot about myself until saw them, all shots I wanted to have taken, plus some fun extra ones. She made having our photos taken during our reception fun and her coordination for the first look photos was perfect. Since having her take photos for our wedding she is the first photographer I go to to book for all other occasions. I love how bright and natural her style is. She was perfect for capturing one of the most important days in my life.

Hi! I'm Magaly and I am a wedding photographer based in Southern California. I love candid intimate moments. My approach is photojournalistic. I love capturing candid moments that tell the story of your special day. The laughter between friends, the tears in a mother's eyes, the stolen glances between the my couples - these are the moments that you'll want to remember forever. I am so happy you're here and can't wait to meet you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We initially didn't plan for having a photographer for our wedding but after Magaly's photos popped up on my ig, I absolutely knew we needed her to be our photographer for our special day. We got so lucky she was available within a couple months from the wedding and we couldn't be happier with how our photos came out and sharing them with our family! Magaly was so easy to work with, she made us feel comfortable, and really went above and beyond. We're so grateful for her and dedication for her work, it truly is her passion. Can't wait to work with her in the future!

Tiago Pinheiro Photography

Henderson, NV
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Lake Forest, CA

Hi! So you’re getting married and you made it here :) First off, congratulations! Love found your heart, and this is all that matters. I’m Tiago and before being a vendor of your wedding, I want you to keep in mind that behind the camera there is a person, who is more interested in your life story, and in the history of your love to translate it into pictures. With that said, before we talk about photography, we can have a beer or a good wine and get to know each other better. If you are willing to do this and also have elegant, romantic and very natural images, it will be an honor to be part of your life by clicking on your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tiago is a fabulous photographer and person. We planned an elopement wedding in Vegas, and he met with us first to determine compatibility with his style. Then he helped set up a schedule that worked for what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he picked us up from the hotel and drove us to the Little White Chapel, drove us to multiple locations for photographs and gave us a brief tour of the art district even, then at the end of the sessions, dropped us back off in Vegas at our hotel. This is far beyond what we expected of him. His photograph style is great. He gave us directions on posing for more dramatic effects and chose great locations with nice backdrops for the photos. When we finally received the photos we were blown away at the results. I have never seen such great wedding photography. They are more like art than the stilted photos I am used to seeing from weddings. He is a very fun and nice person to talk with, and we interacted a lot during the 4 hours we spent with him. I would book him again for a photo shoot (obviously not my wedding, but for some other type of photo needs like portraits and such). He's just great. He's an artist. He's a great human being. And he cares about the people he works with. Great experience.

Modesto, CA

  • Starts at $1,990
  • Serves Lake Forest, CA

I was born and raised in the Philippines but now call Northern California my home. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tooney is an outstanding photographer. We absolutely loved having her as our photographer for our wedding. She captured moments that we will look back on and treasure forever. So thank you so much for everything like making us feel so comfortable around you and in front of the camera.

Russ Levi Photography

Petaluma, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Lake Forest, CA

I am an irreverent guy who just so happens to create beautiful-rich-vibrant-uniquely-authentic wedding photography in and around the Bay Area, all over California and anywhere there’s beautiful light.

Awarded Best of Zola
First of all, our photos are amazing. They are AMAZING. I keep looking at them over and over again, and I keep finding new moments from my wedding to appreciate. Thank you Russ for creating these beautiful lasting memories for our family. Second of all: it was *GREAT* to work with Russ. We booked Russ months before Coronavirus, and during the months when we were reshaping our wedding plans, Russ was adaptable, reliable, and supportive. He was always prompt to get on the phone and to hear what we were thinking and what we wanted. We ended up having a minimony - a smaller version of our original wedding plan - and Russ was right there to make our day feel extra special and to highlight the best moments. He understood our vision even better than we did - the pictures attest to that, since he was able to capture the best moments with exactly the focus we'd want to see! All the while, he stayed out of our way, and yet somehow didn't miss a thing. Finally, I just want to say that Russ is a happy person to be around -- and his general uplifting mood is well matched to the spirit of a wedding day. I didn't know how much it would matter to have a happy person be our wedding photographer, but Russ' whole demeanor was a definite definite definite boon!

Hi! I'm Amanda. I never need an excuse to road trip or dance like no one is watching and my soul would probably shrivel up and die without music and high five moments. Finding kindred spirits is the best medicine and I will stop at nothing to savor a fleeting moment. Helping you look and FEEL amazing is literally the best part of what I get to do! I thrive on making your photos a completely comfortable, fun and utterly painless process! I absolutely LIVE for this.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda was absolutely amazing! During our first meeting with her she was very informative and professional. On our big day she and the 2nd photographer were kind and extremely efficient. We especially appreciated that we were able to get all of our couple, bridal party, and family photos done before the ceremony allowing us to enjoy our cocktail hour! She was great at giving us cues so that we got romantic and picturesque couple shots. We received our photos in a very timely manner and are so happy with how they turned out! I highly recommend hiring Amanda for your wedding photos!

Sarah Peterson Photography

San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,888
  • Serves Lake Forest, CA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
You should stop scrolling through photographers because I'm here to tell you, Sarah is the one. She is extremely professional, talented, compassionate, creative, and can make absolutely every one of her clients feel understood and comfortable. She flew out to Washington to take our engagement photos at the Olympic National Park and the entire day was one of my favorite memories. Not to mention she sent me sneak peeks of the photos within a couple of hours - incredible editing skills and extremely fast service. I'm going to cherish these photos forever and we are SO excited to have her as our wedding photographer in June. Thank you for everything, Sarah!
