I couldn’t say more about Dan and Tyler. We booked them for our wedding photography and videography and they were amazing to say the least. Not only were they reasonably priced but they made our special day exactly what we wanted. From handling the entire photography process, they made our day very smooth and manageable. On the other end once our day was over we received our preview so quickly with amazing shots and our video and the rest of our photographs within such a timely manner that we were shocked when they sent everything. I couldn’t recommend them more and plan on using them for any other photography needs we will have in the future.

Hi! My name is Laura & I'm so happy you are here reading this little bio because it means we just might be a great match! (WooHoo:) Quick 411 on me:) I've been married now for over 26 years & counting! My hubby Guy and I were both born and raised in Southern Ca. but met in Utah at a Sundance work Christmas party and even though it wasn't love at first sight, it was pretty darn close🖤 We have 3 beautiful kids and a handsome son in-law! Something unexpected about me (for most people:) is that I'm a new "chicken mom" my kids think I've lost it, but really they have just been replaced is all haha-I'm kind of obsessed with them! Haha:)

Laura shot my our first look, bridals, and wedding day photos and did an INCREDIBLE job. She puts countless hours into editing and you can tell!!! She got us our entire bridal gallery in 5 days and sent more pictures than we expected!!!! We loved every single photo she sent. She captures light in such a gorgeous way and was so easy to communicate with during the shoot. Definitely wouldn’t book with anyone else for a wedding!!

Abby Taylor Photography

5.0

Newport Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby was an absolute gem to work with! As a content creator who works very closely with lots photographers, I have experienced lots of other photographers who dismissed me and belittled my role and responsibilities. Abby was the complete opposite! She treated me as an equal and was extremely easy to communicate with. Instead of blocking and pushing me aside, we were able to collaborate flawlessly. If she ever needed to switch spots or have me move elsewhere, she was extremely polite and still made sure I was able to get my shot. I seriously can not wait to work with her again!!

Cassy Velazquez Photography

5.0

Mission Viejo, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

We were so lucky to find Cassy to photograph our wedding! From the beginning, she was professional, quick to respond, and brought the energy. During our initial meeting, Cassy listened to my vision and understood exactly what I was going for. We wanted a themed, nerdy wedding, and funny enough, she was also a fan of the theme we had! She was so helpful through the process, especially with the added stress of postponements with COVID. On the day of our wedding, she provided so much guidance with posing, lighting, background, etc. to make sure all the photos turned out the best they could be. Lastly, her photos are beautiful! We love the bright and light look, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place!

Awarded Best of Zola
Marisa and Tim are the sweetest people you can imagine. Back in 2019 we began planning our wedding, so you can imagine that it took awhile for it to happen. They rolled with changes from 2020, to 2021, to 2022 and then after my wife and I got COVID the day before our wedding, to later in 2022! They were supportive and accommodating through what was one of the most tumultuous periods in our lives. They made us comfortable, they helped us get ready on the day of the wedding, they are infinitely giving and we will always be thankful for everything they did for us. Now, onto the photos! They're perfect! They're colorful and playful and everything we were looking for. We didn't just want conventional wedding photos, though we did get a number of classic ones that look great and made our parents very happy, we wanted something that felt like us. They also documented everything, from my custom pocket square to my wife's earrings to the invites, to the menus. Over two months later we're still going through the photos and getting enjoyment from them. We are so lucky to have worked with Marisa and Tim. They were a huge part of the best day of our lives and we're so grateful for them.

Morgan Wiltse Photo Co.

5.0

San Clemente, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,300

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

Awarded Best of Zola
Morgan was so amazing! She made me feel so comfortable during the whole process (not a fan of getting my picture taken), she gave direction to everyone involved so that the pictures looked perfect and everyone was placed exactly where they needed to be. Her editing is THE BEST. She created the perfect moody photos from my wedding that I will cherish forever. 12/10 recommend!

I'll keep this short and sweet because truly, it's not about me. I'm here to get to know you and understand you.

Sarah was so great to work with, from planning the shots and style we were looking for, to every moment at the wedding! My husband and I aren’t big on photos, but she made us feel comfortable and relaxed by playing fun music while she shot, and she was so good during the ceremony/reception of making it seem like she wasn’t even there! We loved how our photos turned out and we will cherish them forever!

MKT is amazing to work with! We hired them for our wedding in Newport Beach in July 2022. We were able to do an engagement shoot with Ashley and get to know her prior to our wedding. The photos from the hour-long engagement soot were amazing. She asked me for a shot list ahead of time, and also came with her own. She allowed us 2 outfits and helped us with posing the whole time. Ahead of the wedding, she met me at the venue for a walk-through and went over my shot list. Together on our wedding day Ashley and Marcus easily shot over 2000 photos, and they all showed an attention to detail in both posing and capturing candid moments, the focus, lighting, and coloring was all consistent and beautiful, and the touch ups after made them all look even more gorgeous. MKT was everything I could have hoped for after looking so long for professional, on-time, personable, and reasonably priced photographers. I'll be calling them for all our family occasions from now on, and you should too. I highly recommend you contact them if you're looking for wedding and/or engagement photography in Orange County, 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.

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. 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.

Erin is extremely responsive and professional, but also brings a sense of fun and personalization to the table, which we greatly appreciated. Our engagement and wedding photos are absolutely stunning and we feel very grateful we have these photos to cherish for the rest of our lives. She exceeded all expectations with her perfect combination of candid and classic posed photos. Our families were blown away when they saw our wedding photos- they can't wait to order prints! In addition to her excellent work, Erin herself adds so much positivity and thoughtfulness to the entire experience. Our families and friends fell in love with her and were ecstatic to have her as a part of our intimate wedding. I really can't say enough about Erin's amazing work, level or professionalism and organization, and the amount of kindness and thought she'll put into capturing your entire wedding experience.

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

I had no clue about permits, where to start with choosing a location, etc. and she went above and beyond to send me a customized list of recommendations on locations + info on each (I would love never even thought of most of them), ideas of things to include, how to customize our day, etc. I could go on and on, but long story short we are just so grateful that we came across Wild Honey Photo and she walked us through planning our elopement and made sure we had the best day ever and the photos to last a lifetime.

My happy place is anywhere outside of my comfort zone, but a nature-filled walk chatting up good company is a close second.

A cross-country move to sunny Orange County, California. This isn’t the first time I’ve packed up and jetted away from my home state of Maryland: Germany, Singapore, and South Carolina make the list too.

If you are very particular about color grading, you'd be happy to know that theirs is consistent and just gorgeous throughout!

I became a wedding photographer in a not-so-usual way. I remember telling my girl scout leader that I actually hated any arts & craft we did. Fast forward to many years of sports, and the pivotal moment of entering college, I switched to photography one semester in after realizing my current Marine Biology major was not for me and decided that was where I was headed. It landed me in wedding photography after a few classmates asked me to shoot their weddings. And since I’m a romantic and all…it was a perfect fit from the start. Something you should know about me is that I love all people, deeply. “Love your neighbor” is what I strive for.

Katie’s style of photography is what grab my attention at first. This is the second time we worked with her and she was incredible! Since we did a mini session for our city hall wedding, we were already comfortable taking photos with her and for our party she was so professional and made the photos feel so easy and made sure that I had all the photos I needed with family and friends. I would recommend her over and over again!

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

We had the best experience working with Nick (and Mackenzie) on our big day. I cannot recommend Nick Cruz Photography enough! All of our photos are so beautiful and exceeded our (high) expectations. We could not have asked for better photos or a better photographer. Getting married during COVID meant a lot of last-minute changes in plans and Nick was so supportive and willing to work with us to make sure we captured all aspects of the day safely. And he is so personable - we had a total of 13 people at our wedding, so it was a very small group, all immediate family, but he fit right in! He was super organized and had a shot list to make sure we didn't miss any typical wedding photos. His website for photo delivery makes it so easy to view/download photos and he got us some sneak peaks super fast. Overall, we had such a great experience with Nick and plan to use him for all other big life events that require photography! (He also did our engagement - those photos were amazing too! He worked with my husband to pop out of the trees and capture the actual proposal.)

I spent countless hours in the dark room developing photographs in chemicals and I loved every minute of it. I would describe my photography style as bold and true to color. My favorite part of photography is capturing moments that tell a story so that no matter how much time passes, you can go back and relive that story over and over again.

Katy was very creative and professional. We are so happy with her work and will be using her for all of our photography needs!

I am Ashley Strong Smith, the very passionate, sincere and grateful soul behind these very time capsules witnessed within this space. Although I’ve been shooting for over a decade, ASP launched full time in April of 2015 as an all encompassing business and became a Corporation - Strong Smith, Inc. in 2018. Since then, I’ve been beyond blessed to : - Document nearly 450 sessions - Document over a 100 weddings - Receive almost 250 FIVE STAR reviews on multiple platforms - Published nearly two dozen times

Amazing. From start to finish. Ashley leads with her heart first, and it’s very rare to work with people who look at their job from that perspective. My wedding day had some interesting curve balls and she jumped right in to help far beyond taking our photos. We loved working with her- she is like family!

Hello! My name is Anatoliy Kim, and I’m the founder and head filmmaker and photographer at Anatoliy K Weddings. I’ve been described as a hopeless romantic, but I just can’t help it. There’s something truly magical that happens at weddings. The pure, intimate expressions shared between bride and groom. The eternal vows. The support of lifelong friends and family members. Every single fleeting moment makes up the most important day of your life. At Anatoliy K Weddings, we capture those emotion-fueled moments so you can treasure them forever.

We loved Anatoliy! Anatoliy took photos for our wedding at an outdoor venue. We spoke multiple times before the wedding to coordinate and set expectations, and he was very responsive and friendly. On the day of, he knew our wedding schedule better than us and kept us on schedule! Most of all, his photos were amazing. My partner and I have had photoshoots in the past, and by far Anatoliy’s photos looked the most professional and clean, and he really knew how to capture the moment. We also appreciate Anatoliy’s creativity in suggesting poses because me, my partner, and our entire family can be really awkward when taking photos… but all of our photos looked very natural and beautiful. We could tell Anatoliy loved what he did and it really showed in the final product. Thank you Anatoliy!

I am so excited that you stopped by because that means you are looking for your PERFECT PHOTOGRAPHER!

You don’t have to worry about a thing but just go with the flow and have fun (unless you have an idea you would love to do then let’s do it!).

Larissa was first to mind when our family made vacation plans to Yosemite. I knew I wanted to capture our Family in the best way possible and to have beautiful images to look back on and remember our trip. With the California fires, we had to redirect our travel plans and Larissa was extremely accommodating. We ended up in Palm Springs and she followed us through the day, capturing our family outing and backyard pool play - in the BEST way possible. She was calm which helped me keep my stress levels down and she was so playful with my kids, ensuring we got some great photos of us all! Thanks Larissa!

Dancing in the kitchen, kissing, crying, laughing... there’s always a beautiful story to be told.

Since I was little, I've had a camera in my hands wherever I go, and it has been my passion to photograph unforgettable moments. My influence came from my father who is a semi-pro photographer and videographer in Japan, and his journalistic photography style encouraged me to anticipate the moments and capture natural impressions. The moments I capture become the past, but what inspires me is seeing people’s reactions to the photographs I take. It is my hope that these moments become timeless. Often clients tell me that having a photo can bring back the feelings and memories of that moment, which is why I launched Yukipix Photography, LLC.

The family and friends who haven’t seen one another in some time go in for a big warm embrace. It’s the group of cousins all about to cheers and take a celebratory drink together.
