Meet Ellen, a Southern California native and seasoned visual storyteller: I've been photographing events and portraiture since 2017 and specialize in destination weddings and elopements. For me, the best part about being a photographer is getting to witness my client’s once in a lifetime memories being created and knowing that my work will allow future generations to experience those memories as well. I take on all types of creative photo shoots when I'm not shooting weddings.

I ordered photography and videography from them, they've done a great job! Iman and Ali were very friendly and caring, it was very easy to work with them and we did so many pictures in the short period of time that we had for photos during cocktail hour. And the price wasn't high at all, unlike other wedding photography companies. The turnarounds are not long, the way they edited our video was remarkable, and they conveyed the emotions we felt that day perfectly! If you are reading it now, waste no time, choose them!

Shelby Ayn Photography

5.0

Monrovia, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000

Your experience with me starts long before you step in front of my lens. I take the time and energy to get to know you & your story, so that I can capture the parts of your relationship that are authentically YOU. So that you can look back on the photos from this season of life, and feel like you're right back in that moment, feeling those same feels. To me, a perfectly posed & still photograph doesn't capture a feeling the way that a candid one can. I direct my couples to create images that are full of movement and those intimate in-between moments.

Shelby is so easy to work with and cares so much about her craft. It shows in her work, the time and effort she puts into her business, and her communication with her clients. I was overwhelmed and a bit nervous about choosing a photographer because there’s so many out there - plus, you want someone to fit your needs for your most special life memories, capture your vision, etc etc. Shelby will do that. She AMAZED me. If you want a photographer who you can be sure will check all the boxes, you’ll have made the right choice with her. She made us feel like naturals in front of the camera, picked the most amazing shooting location, and really knows what she’s doing. Also her turnaround time on photos was amazing. I would book her again and again and refer her to people whenever I can!!!

Hannah Madison Photography

5.0

Monrovia, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800

Hi! I'm Hannah, your So Cal (but traveling) elopement and intimate wedding photographer! I'm so glad you're here. My photography style is a documentary/natural photographer. This means I'm more about documenting your moments and helping you create genuine smiles/moments in photos, opposed to just posing you, i want you to dance and have fun, snuggle into your partner and get those intimate moments. (I'll of course help you figure out what to do with your hands, because lets me honest, even I don't know what to do with my hands in photos. Haha) I love traveling, I love adventure, and I love making friends out of my clients.

Having Hannah as our wedding photographer was easily the greatest decision we made! Hannah was incredibly professional, kind, informative, easy to work with, easy to talk to, great communicator, and listened to all our needs. My husband and I are very awkward and uncomfortable when it comes to taking photos (taking professional photos was a new thing for us) and Hannah made sure we were comfortable from start to finish. By the time the wedding came around we knew exactly what to do thanks to her easy to follow tips, tricks, advice and guidance. Hannah captured our wedding beautifully, and we are forever grateful for her. We will be going to her for our future events and highly recommend her to everyone.

Although my primary focus is on couples, weddings, and portraiture. I am, and always will be, an adventurer at heart. I have traveled to 25+ countries so far and I hope to capture on film so much more of our amazing planet. Taking photos of people while they are in harmony with their environment is something that deeply intrigues me and is a personal inspiration to continue to hone my skills.

Randall de Leon Photography

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

We’ve been lucky to know and work with Randall for a few years. When we finally decided to make things “official” we knew we wanted someone that does great work, that we trust, and would make us feel comfortable. We wanted our day to feel like a relaxed family event and Randall helped with that and so much more. He suggested possible locations that would meet our dream event and times to maximize the best lighting for the area. Once we settled on the location and date, he maintained excellent communication in preparation to the event to properly flesh out the day’s timetable, day of logistics, and post. On the day of our wedding he expertly directed us and our families, using the natural lighting to capture the perfect shots. We would have been lost without him, especially since no one knew how to assist with bustling my dress. During our dinner reception he seamlessly directed restaurant staff to assist in transitioning between meals/dessert/toast for more amazing shots. After the wedding he kept us updated on next steps for our pictures. Randall is truly a gem and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone special to capture their day.

Adam Griffin Photo

5.0

West Hollywood, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,000

I’m Adam—a Boston native who’s now roaming around California photographing everything I see. When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks. I got my first film camera when I was 8, and it was love at first sight. Capturing your story is more than just a job for me. From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Just married on October 17th and my husband and I could not be more thrilled with Adam’s work as our photographer! We had to put our event together in less than 3 months, but Adam managed to jump in without missing a beat while being incredibly flexible and supportive during the lead up to the big day. EXCELLENT communication skills and we were never left in the dark on where he was at during the entire process. You could say Adam went the extra mile for us on our wedding day but in reality, he went a hundred miles. On top of his photography duties, he made himself available for event support and offered up his years of experience to answer our questions, while keeping us calm and on track the whole day. We would have felt lost without him. Then came the photo previews themselves (literally the next day) and we were floored. I personally feel very nervous around cameras, but Adam managed to capture some incredible moments that brought both myself and my husband to tears—these photos will bring us joy for many years to come. I would tell anyone looking to hire Adam to trust his eye and his vision, because he absolutely knows what he’s doing. We fully intend to use his services again for family portraits and cannot recommend him enough for your photography needs! A experience! -MaxJason

Carmelisse was absolutely the best!! My fiancé and I had our engagement pictures with her last month and she was so pleasant to work with.

I’m Mysi (pronounced, boringly, “Missy”)! I’ve been at this thing for 12 years and I keep falling more and more in love with it all. Give me intimate micro-weddings, quirky dive bar weddings, raucous South Asian weddings... my team and I absolutely thrive in chaos and emotion. My specialty is catching the moments and those tiny moments in between. ✨✨✨

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Mysi was a no brainer for us! Not only does her work speak for itself, she is one of the kindest and most enjoyable people I've had the pleasure of meeting and a true joy to work with. My husband is very camera shy and I'm very camera awkward - but you would never ever know that from our engagement and wedding pictures! Mysi has a rare talent for making you feel incredibly at ease, and she also has an uncanny ability to capture who YOU are and not just what looks "wedding-y" or pretty (although god is her photography just stunning!). Her ability to capture subtle looks and expressions and moments between you and your partner is absolutely priceless, and everyone still raves about our photos years later!

Stephen Tang Photo

5.0

Pasadena, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,100

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
To say that I love and trust Stephen's work is an understatement. I live in New York City with some of the most talented photographers in the world available for hire, and my first choice wedding photographer was to fly Stephen Tang to NYC from Los Angeles. I wouldn’t trust or want anyone else for the job of capturing our wedding. We have worked with Stephen before, and I just love his style of work. I also fell in love with his studio work after seeing another couple's engagement photos and wanted similar pictures for our own. Stephen knocked it out of the park. Stephen exceeded our expectations with the wedding photos. We have everything we requested and much more than we realized we needed. It was so fun to relive our wedding through the pictures. The only potential downside of my wedding pictures was I realized that I forgot to take a picture with my grandfather. I felt pretty terrible about it. I received my pictures from Stephen and cried because there was a beautiful candid of my grandfather and I. It was so much better than a posed photo. It captured the essence of who we are. You get what you pay for with weddings. Your pictures are your memories. They live on for generations. It was important to us to have the best photographs, and we knew we could trust Stehen to capture the event beautifully. Stephen went above and beyond our expectations and worth every cent. It won't be 2,000 photos and duplicates of the same shot. He’s going to give you a beautiful, curated story of your wedding. Stephen was also very helpful with looking over my timeline and telling me what was realistic. His experience allowed me to set expectations for what I'd receive, and he did nothing if not exceed them. Wedding days are beautiful. They are intimate, but they are also stressful. I’ve been to weddings where the photographer brings an anxious energy. That’s not Stephen. He’s calm and confident. He also takes charge in a non abrasive way. On my wedding day I needed that. I needed my photographer to be a calming influence and I’m so grateful that I had exactly what I needed. Stephen Tang.

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly.

Mirage and Light Photography

5.0

Long Beach, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

We booked Amanda for our engagement photos and our elopement. One of the reasons we loved our sessions is Amanda’s approach. She will definitely tell you exactly what to do and find ways of making the photos feel natural and fun. On our wedding day, she was great at directing the family, making sure I got all the shots I wanted, and even fluffing my dress to ensure it looked beautiful in the photos. She found the perfect balance of directing people and being efficient during the process. Our elopement was 100 degrees outside and Amanda was so kind and thoughtful about giving me photo breaks and cold water. Our photos turned out gorgeous and we could not be happier. We call Amanda our “family photographer” and plan to use her for all special events in the future. If you hire Amanda- rest well knowing your event will be handled with care and your photos will be gorgeous!

I help make shoots feel very comfortable, candid, fun, and genuine to each relationship.

Kelsey artfully captured all the feels of our perfect day. From the first Zoom interview through delivery of the final highlight video, working with Kelsey was a breeze. We went to lunch a little over a week before our wedding day and Kelsey got a good feel for our style and how we wanted our day captured. She worked seamlessly with our photographer and even provided us with the raw footage of our ceremony and reception, which was a substantial additional expense for all other videographers we interviewed prior to selecting Kelsey. She began working on our video immediately after our wedding and kept us informed of the progress until it was completed. We couldn’t be happier with our highlight video and had a great experience working with Kelsey!

Jess is a wedding photographer serving couples from Los Angeles to New York City.

She works in both digital and film mediums and her work has been featured in publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, Destination I Do and Brides.

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Jess Onesto, owner of Cheers Babe Photo, when I was a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding. I had been a bridesmaid many times at this point, but had never met a photographer like Jess. Jess has such an amazing energy and she managed to make hours of photos so dang fun! When I got engaged, the first thing I did for wedding planning was book Cheers Babe to capture our wedding day. Outside of marrying my husband, booking Cheers Babe was the best decision I made when it came to our wedding. When COVID hit, we went from having a destination wedding for 200 people to a 10-person wedding at my husband’s childhood home. Through all the ups and downs of planning our original dream wedding, cancelling that wedding, and re-planning another wedding, Jess was with us every step of the way. When you hire Jess, you are hiring more than a photographer. You are hiring a caring, passionate and empathetic human being who truly loves her couples. Jess is a wealth of wedding knowledge and she was there to offer advice, guidance and emotional support pre-COVID and after. It can be awkward posing for photos. Jess takes all of the awkwardness out of it and makes it feel natural and fun. We booked an engagement photoshoot with Jess before our wedding and I am so glad we did. She taught us tons of tips for taking photos that she referenced again on our wedding day. It made the whole thing so much more natural. Jess has a way of making her brides and grooms feel so beautiful and at ease, which shows in the end result. You can feel the joy and happiness when you look at her photos because that’s how she makes her couples feel!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

I set my mind and soul to this craft about 5 years ago and my heart just grew with every couple I met and every story I learned and told through my favorite medium of photography. It is the absolute best feeling being able to photograph the genuine love and happiness a couple expels through their wedding day. Nothing can beat the emotions and the charm of that. It's an honor to be able to translate those emotions onto images so people can look back through them and get back those feelings years and decades later.

Victoria is an absolute dream to work with! There is no one else I would have used for my photos. She is extremely organized, communicates clearly, and is up front with every decision. I loved having her give me suggested timelines and ensuring I had those special shots that were on my must haves.

My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently had the pleasure of a portrait session with Sarahi, and the experience was phenomenal. Right from the start, her professionalism and welcoming demeanor created a comfortable environment for both me and my fiance. Sarahi took the time to understand our vision and provided guidance to enhance the overall result. Communication with Sarahi was seamless, and deadlines were met with precision, reinforcing the positive overall experience. I 100% recommend SarahiPhoto for those seeking a portrait session that combines skillful craftsmanship with a thoughtful and collaborative approach.

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

Photographing weddings has truly been my dream job, and I feel so honored every time I'm invited to capture intimate moments in peoples’ lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittney is a gem of a photographer and a shining star of a person. She captured our wedding more beautifully than either of us could have imagined or wished for. Being photographed by her feels like hanging out with your chillest, most talented friend, who knows how to work ALL your angles. Aside from being talented and kind, she radiates the coolest, most calming vibes throughout every situation. We shot our engagement photos outside on a cold, rainy day and somehow Brittney managed to make us feel like it was warm and sunny. Throughout the course of our wedding day, she kept us calm and on schedule, making everything feel like an effortless breeze. But Brittney is so much more than a photographer. Even in the time leading up to our wedding, she was there to answer all questions and give suggestions about everything wedding related. She answers her e-mails so promptly and comprehensively, and is always willing to jump on the phone to talk it out. Brittney provided so much priceless guidance when we didn't know who else to look to. Ultimately, Brittney is the full package. I'd say triple threat, but she's much more than that. She's not only a really good photographer, but she's a really good person. TLDR; Hire Brittney, it'll be the best wedding decision you make (aside from marrying your spouse, I guess).

Hello! My name is Brenda and I've resided in SoCal all of my life. Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
I love photos and photography was one of my must have, high quality items for our wedding. Our original photographer had to back out (with plenty of time and notice) so we found ourselves back at the drawing board several months before the wedding. I found Brenda and loved that her images showed a diverse clientele - as a plus size bride with a SO over 6’ tall, that was something that really mattered to me. By the end of our Zoom meeting I wanted to hug her! I felt confident she was the right fit. When the big day came around, not only was her presence instantly calming (things had already been going wrong that morning) but she was incredibly helpful every step of the way, including trying to find a dropped earring, closing my necklace because everyone’s nails were too long, making sure I had space to take a break when my nerves overwhelmed me. We just got some of our sneak peeks in and wow…I’m crying all over again. She captured moments between my SO and I so beautifully, you can feel the love we have for each other. It sounds cliche, but it’s true! Not only were we pleased with Brenda, our guests and wedding party all had such kind things to say about her - how many weddings have you gone to and complimented the photographer, as a guest?! If her style is one that you like, don’t hesitate to hire Brenda. I can’t wait to take more photos with her as we grow old. She was an important part of our day and, for me, the best person to have by my side throughout the chaotic day. I was so happy to have her as part of our adventurers club.

We hired Nate, Vanessa & Keren to shoot our welcome party and wedding and HOLY COW they blew us away! From our first meetings over Zoom, we knew we'd made the right choice. Aside from their obviously gorgeous work, we chose them because their vibe is so down to earth, comforting, and fun. During the two parties, they were efficient and blended right in with our guests so all of our pictures felt organic, which was important to us. We opted to do half on film, half on digital and were completely speechless at how it all turned out. The cherry on top was how quickly we got our pictures back: we got the email one month after our wedding while we were on our honeymoon! So special to relive that day in that setting, and we were so impressed with that turnaround. We already know we'll be hiring this team down the road once we start a family.

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
I was referred to Kristina by my wedding venue's coordinator. I was having a destination wedding at a private estate and she had shot several weddings and shoots there before. Knowing that she knew the venue and seeing her work, I knew she was a top contender. Having great quality photos was hugely important to me, and that was something I wasn't willing to sacrifice quality on. Her style was exactly what I wanted—natural, soft, minimally edited, and not overly posed. However, a good wedding photographer is an investment, so I wanted to meet with her first. Luckily, she lives in the same town as I do, so I didn't have to travel to the destination to meet her.When I joined her for a glass of wine, we instantly clicked and I was immediately a YES. Before my husband would sign on the dotted line, he wanted to meet her as well. We met for a 2nd time, all three of us, and he also loved her right away. Having that connection to a photographer is SO important to make you feel comfortable throughout the event and truly trust them (photos are awkward, right?). The day could not have run more smoothly, thanks in large part to Kristina. She made taking photos fun for everyone and our bridal party also fell in love with her. Aside from being fun and personable, she was professional and kept us on a tight timeline. She also made sure we fit everything in on my wishlist: first look, first look with my dad, bridal party photos, family photos, table photos, dancing, the hora...didn't miss ANYTHING. I'm so in love with my photos from that day and so happy to have those lifelong memories. Since then, she's become a great friend. Anytime I want photos taken for a life event, I will ONLY use her. She's taken family holiday photos, photos of my pups, professional photos for my husband, and I will keep using only her for family photos in the future.

Meet with your Photographer. "The most important thing for me is to create a feeling with my bride and groom, in order to have the best approach on the D-day, and to respect a professionalism, a dress-code, or a planning while keeping the pleasure of capturing these unique moments for my clients."

I'm so excited to share my experience with photographer Oleg, and don't know where to start. My fiancé and I spent so much time on the research in order to find the best team, and best quality product, and Zaya was absolutely the right decision, besides they have exceed all the expectations we had. They managed to take all the beautiful moments (even those that I forgot) and the pictures editing was sooo perfect. Since we didn't have enough time on preparation (month only), we couldn't meet with them in advance to discuss what exactly we were looking for, but let me tell you, the real professionals do not need any guidance. The whole team are such perfectionists, and all the services they provide are for 100%. I highly recommend Oleg’s Zaya to anyone who is looking for their moments to be captured by real professionals.

South Pasadena, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rebecca was awesome beyond words and we highly recommend her. Our wedding was non-traditional and posed some unique challenges. We threw a backyard Halloween party and surprised our guests by exchanging vows at midnight. To go along with the surprise and remain incognito, Rebecca showed up in costume as an old-timey reporter with a "PRESS" marker tucked in her hatband. She pulled the ruse off flawlessly, blending in and chatting effortlessly with our friends so that she could capture those perfectly candid and special moments throughout the night. No one appeared camera shy, no one looked awkward or directed, every last portrait was of a cherished friend at their joyous best. We had been initially concerned about our lighting conditions since the event was outdoors and at night. We couldn't go too overboard with party lights, nor did we want our photographer to be milling through the crowd with a bright flash. Rebecca laid our concerns to rest well before the event, and her expertise with low-light shooting is on display in our gallery. The photos were absolutely stunning. Some of our favorites were the amazingly touching and genuine reactions of surprise when we revealed we were getting married. We could not be happier or have asked for a better photographer experience. We'll cherish these beautiful mementos for the rest of our lives and we cannot recommend Rebecca y las otras enough.

I live in Long Beach with my husband, and our beautiful dog-daughter Rita. If I'm not photographing my incredible clients, I'm watching any entertainment I can, from the latest HBO shows or movie releases. But, there's nothing better than drinking a beer and laughing at some quality reality television if you ask me! I also love reading while drinking coffee in the morning, but nothing tops hanging with my friends and family, enjoying some drinks and sharing some laughs.

My fiance and I were lucky enough to have Kathy photograph us for our engagement shoot and I cannot stress enough how incredible she was from beginning to end! Kathy is extremely personable and she works with the utmost level of professionalism. She checked in with us about a week prior to our shoot just to confirm and get as many additional details as possible. We had some questions re: outfits and she was more than happy to answer our questions and provide us with recommendations as to what would capture best/be best for the look we were going for. Prior to our photo shoot, Kathy scoped out our location in order to provide us with ideas re: the best places/positions to shoot in order to achieve the vision we both had. While shooting, she makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease - which made our job SO much easier! Kathy provided us with our finished pictures in no time at all - and we were in love with her work! She 100% captured the vision we were going for and we could not be any more thrilled with the way they turned out. Kathy - you are the best and we are so thankful for your work, as we now have these memories captured to enjoy for a lifetime :) Thanks again! Xo Jonathan & Lee

Hi you guys, my name's Natalie, & I'm so glad you're here! I’m a joy-filled, Southern California surfer girl who is in love with capturing weddings.  My style? It’s timeless, romantic, adventuresome, & personal. I’m dedicated to capturing fine elegance + raw beauty all the while keeping it real + being authentic. Your job is to be in love & live in that excitement with each other. My job is to make it easy + enjoyable for you two to be yourselves, 100%, as I frame and capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments in a way that only my mind can. Congratulations to you both! Looking forward to getting to know each other! xx Natalie

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. My husband and I cry every time we look through our wedding album and that is a huge thanks to Natalie Schutt Photography.

Tida shot our engagement and our Palm Springs wedding at Korakia Pensione! I absolutely adore her! My husband and I were somewhat nervous about the process and worried that it would be awkward...it proved to be anything but. Tida put us both at ease and had us laughing and relaxed out of the gate. So many people commented on how genuinely happy we looked in our photos and honestly it had a lot to do with Tida making us laugh with each other. The photos turned out beautifully, her aesthetic is very natural, never staged, and I really appreciate how much care she put into all the editing. Everyone comments on how great our photos are. She really loves what she does. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!

I'm admittedly wary when it comes to the Wedding Industry and all of it's bells/whistles/expectations, and at the same time, I believe wholeheartedly in the power of community, love, commitment, and collective joy. I think that weddings-- in all of their forms and reclamations-- ultimately serve a great purpose in reminding us of these gifts. I come from a long line of meticulous documenters and hold a degree in Sociology, all of which informs the way I approach photography. I am curious about people, am in awe of the display of emotion, and am passionate about the ways in which we construct family and community.

Kenzie was able to effortlessly find the natural moments of our wedding that captured the joy and emotion of the day. She was able to make our photos feel more editorial instead of the cheesy stock photography wedding photos you see so much. Of course she can also do the posed family photos (which she was able to do in an organized yet relaxed way). She is a kind person you want at your wedding and has a great eye and energy that helps you remember the best things about the day.

My name is Jonathan Moore. I am a Los Angeles based wedding photographer and available worldwide. I'll get right to it: The very last thing I want is for you to think of your experience with me as a "photoshoot." I think that posed "prom" photos are totally lame and reflect absolutely nothing unique about you or your partner. After all, you are not actors pretending to be "in love," so why should your images reflect that? At the core, your images should ultimately remind you of why you fell in love in the first place. This is what we're celebrating!

He works well with people, works great under stressful elements, he communicates, is reliable, creative ... and overall, fun to be around. As an event coordinator, Jonathan makes my job easy!

The kind of work I do within the wedding photography genre is very distinct - every image stands on its own as a thoughtful composition as if from a cinematic art house film or high-end commercial/editorial shoot. My color grading is immediately identifiable and unique - developed through years of studying color theory - uncommon today in a sea of 'presets' that other photographers purchase on the internet for they have no knowledge of how to build their own. My compositions are often quirky, surprising, different. I always attempt to show a point of view that's uncommon and fascinating to the viewer.

Authentic, timeless, essence, natural, and candid are the most significant narratives when capturing a wedding day and are always at the center of the brand's heart. We love natural light, a strong action-stopping camera flash, capturing enchanting couples with inventive dance moves, making new friends, a flowing champagne tower, and a heartfelt toast.

I LOVE working with Ivy. I sifted through what felt like 50 wedding photographers and came out completely defeated because while they were talented, their photos didn't capture what I was hoping to remember looking back at my wedding day photos. Then I randomly found Ivy and she easily is the best thing I've ever found on Google, no joke, hahah. Her style of photography and approaching our wedding day allowed us to still take the traditional family portraits, but honestly, I hardly look back on those compared to how much I fawn over all of the other photos of the day/night that she took. They look straight from a magazine and Ivy made it so easy to be comfortable and completely trust that she would give us incredible photos, which she totally did. I seriously can't recommend Ivy enough. I actually still keep in touch with her because she's so talented and we collaborate often! (:

Hanna Walkowaik is a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles, California, frequenting Chicago & NYC, traveling all around the world to capture love.

She mixes editorial and documentary styles to not only give you beautiful portraits and captured memories but artistic images to hang in your home. With a Bachelor of Arts degree in photography her approach is artistic, purposeful and technically skillful.

Hanna is truly exceptional! We could not have asked for a better person to capture our wedding day. When my now-husband and I first started searching for wedding photographers, we were drawn to Hanna for her immensely beautiful and versatile portfolio. We spoke over Zoom and felt immediately comfortable with her — she has such a calming presence, made us feel like we had been friends forever, and assured us that she would help our vision come to life. We didn’t have much photography knowledge — we knew we wanted to take some shots in a nature setting like a park, and that we wanted someone who could capture color, as our venue had a specific aesthetic with green and blue walls. Hanna provided the most wonderful guidance for our photos and our day — she scouted many locations around our venue for our wedding portraits, taking into account the proximity and the nature setting we wanted. When we picked one, Hanna went to the spot the week before at the exact time we’d be there, so she would know the specific lighting and locations that would best fit. She also, months in advance, made a timeline for us to help guide the day and ensure that we had a schedule to keep everything on track. This was SO helpful and made the day so much smoother. On the day of our wedding, Hanna couldn’t have been more magnificent. She made us feel so at ease, which was paramount on a day that had so many heightened emotions. We aren’t used to working with professional photographers and were initially nervous that we would feel awkward, but Hanna truly made us feel so calm, comfortable, and joyous. She made the entire experience SO fun, and multiple of our wedding guests commented on how kind she was to them. Now the photos…the PHOTOS. Within a week of our wedding Hanna sent us our sneak peeks — about 160 of them, which is far beyond what we expected. They are stunning. Truly, stunning. She has sent us a gorgeous mix of color, black and white, and film. Our wedding day felt like such a whirlwind and Hanna captured all the emotions and all the moments in ways that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I can’t look at them without being transported back to that day and the specific happenings — from our first look to our first dance — and feeling so overcome with happiness. I can’t choose a favorite because they are all stunning (and all our friends and family keep telling us with how much they love our photos). I’m especially appreciative of Hanna scouting a spot right near our getting ready spot that we hadn’t seen before that looks like a forest, and having us pose there for truly magical pictures. We also have some night shots and some photos from the bar area at our venue that look so editorial and glamorous that I can’t believe it’s us. Trust me, work with Hanna and follow her guidance. She leads with thoughtfulness and intention and it shows. You will get to know a terrifically talented and kind person and your wedding photos will not only be aesthetically marvelous, but you will feel like you get to relive your wedding day every time you look at them. Hanna is THE BEST and we are so grateful to have had the honor of working with her.

I'm a photographer with twenty years of experience. I started as a photojournalist and ground my wedding photography in authentic moments. I love natural portraits that don't feel staged and craft a true narrative of the wedding day that shows it in all its beauty.

Jonathan and Elisabeth were so incredible to work with! I got married in November 2019 and Jonathan was my lead photographer - he has an incredible eye for detail. Before each picture he made sure my hair looked perfect and was even asking people to take things out of their pockets so they didn’t show in the pictures. Before my wedding I had concerns that there would not be enough lighting during the reception and I should never have worried, Jonathan made sure all photos were naturally lit and looked gorgeous. I continuously get compliments on my pictures. I searched so long to find the perfect photographer and I am so happy I found Jonathan and Elisabeth! They were such a pleasure to work with, I would suggest them to everyone!

I believe the best photos occur when... artistry and intentionality meet moments of heartfelt connection. I'll guide you towards the dreamiest light and offer unobtrusive direction that lends to natural movements and sincere emotion. I also slow things down and help re-center everyone, creating space for beautiful moments to unfold, like mom fluffing your veil, dad's expression when he sees you all dressed up, and fleeting looks between you and your partner.

Elyana is so easy going and fun. She will be a calming presence on your big day, but will also know when to gently take control to keep the schedule going. She knows how to capture images filled with beautiful light and a lot of emotions. When I look back at my wedding images, they really feel like us. They don't look forced or overly posed. I feel like they really capture our spirits, so to speak. This kind of photography doesn't just require technical skills, but that's when the true artistry kicks in, and this is what sets Elyana apart. We'd choose her again any day!

I'm Becca, a midwest transplant in Los Angeles (yes, one of those people), wife/homebody, Christian, and newfound happy plant lady. My day is made whenever I see a cat, I cycle through re-watch binges of my favorite shows constantly, and I always have something home-baked on hand in my kitchen. I’m pretty used to third-wheeling it and am excited to be any couple’s wedding day companion and new lifelong friend & coffee date!

My husband and I absolutely loved having Becca as our videographer! I could not recommend here more! We were referred to her by our photographer and were so happy with the decision to use her! Prior to hiring her we met for coffee and immediately felt like she understood our vision for the video. She was so detailed in her preparation for our wedding and made us feel so at ease on the day of. Going into our wedding day, the idea of a camera following you was intimidating. We were worried we would be so focused on the fact that she was catching our every move but when our wedding day came it was the complete opposite. She did an incredible job of catching the perfect moments and really showing our love without it looking forced or staged. The way she shoots is incredible – she captures the perfect natural light and the love and excitement you feel on your wedding day. She even ended up having a drone on which we did not expect and were so excited about! Following our Saturday wedding, we received a teaser of our wedding video on Tuesday morning and were overjoyed with excitement! It truly was everything we dreamed about and so much more! I think we’ve watched it at least twice a day since our wedding! I could not recommend Becca more!

We are Sienna plus Josh, adventure elopement photographers [who also eloped!] in 2011 and we have been shooting weddings and adventuring ever since. We are here to help you navigate the path of forging your OWN path. Going the adventure elopement route is intimate, authentic, and empowering...with a day that is truly reflective of your relationship and defines the two of you! One of the best things about eloping is that you get to throw away the rule book and write your own. Whether that is spending your wedding day on a mountaintop in Oregon, among the waterfalls in Iceland, or the warm desert of California.

Sienna and Josh were so helpful with our elopement. They went above and beyond to make the event as fun and easy going as possible. Their suggestions for locations and floral arrangements were perfect! They really helped our elopement plans take shape and made us feel comfortable so we could each our special day to the fullest! They took the time to get to know us and take unique photos that captured the day perfectly. We were very happy with the final result and impressed with the amount of dedication and kindness that they showed to us.

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

Hands down the best photographer for your wedding! Thank you Daniel for our memories!

My earliest memories of photography are from when I attended weddings at 5 or 6 years old. I would photograph everyone at these weddings with a small, plastic, film camera and loved every moment. That joy of photography and capturing beauty and love has stayed with me ever since. I have a better camera now, but I still can't wait to capture your love.

Tom did a fantastic job with our engagement shoot. We couldn’t have asked for better. He made us feel super comfortable and was able to capture amazing shots without interrupting our special moment. He gave us so many gorgeous images that we were able to use for our announcements, save-the-dates, and wedding website. He truly went above and beyond.

It me! I am your new third wheel, your new childhood friend, your new girl behind the camera! I've been doing this whole living my dream thing for 7 years now and I couldn't be happier! It all started one fall summer night at winters end... totally kidding one day I just said "F-THIS! Photography makes me unbelievably happy, Let's do this!" But my joy is not only from photographing love. It's also because I married the most amazing man on this planet. Leonard is my best friend of 10 years and husband for 7! I still dream about our wedding day and feel like I am always living in that wedding day happiness.

Cindy was a dream photographer to have. She’s so caring, responsive and professional. We had a couple mishaps with the cake and first dance but Cindy knew what to do to fill in the time and what to shift on our timeline which put me at ease on our big day! I would recommend Cindy to everyone because she will honestly be the best photographer you could hire. She checks all the boxes plus her photos, don’t even get me started, I never felt so pretty in life! She captured treasure moments that’ll last forever!
