Redlands, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

I am an artist and a hopeless romantic. For me, taking photos has always been a way to not only express myself but to connect with the people around me. Documenting life and love has become second nature to me over the last 5 years as a wedding photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we start with Dominic and his wife Aribeth! They were truly such a light on our wedding day! Absolutely phenomenal service and made photos so fun! They captured every important moment possible and made it effortless in what they were doing. We had a blast having them. We also loved that they sent us sneak peeks less than 24hours after the wedding, absolutely stunning photos! Grateful for them and going above and beyond for us

Awarded Best of Zola
My name is Kaci Mallat, and I am the owner of Xoxo Weddings. I have had the honor of working with Alexandra on plenty of weddings. Besides the fact that you will get incredible pictures, Alexandra is what I like to call a team player. Her goal besides taking pictures is to make the day run as smoothly as possible for the couple. She helps with this in many ways. For starters, she is extremely efficient! Everyone knows that weddings days fly by quickly. She shows up, does her job, and gives a wonderful product. Second, I never have to look for her to be ready...she is ALWAYS ready! Finally, I know she has my back! As a coordinator, I look for fellow vendors that will help in times of need. Yes, we run separate businesses, but on wedding day we work for the same person....the couple!!! Hire Alexandra...you will not regret it!!!

  • Photojournalistic style

My style leans towards the editorial and documentary style and I am passionate about capturing moments as they unfold. My goal is to make you feel your best in front of the camera using posing prompts. This allows your photos to really represent you. I know that you are putting so much thought and care into every detail, and your gallery will hold all those memories to last a lifetime. I have a passion for travel and am happy to follow you to your dream destination. I look forward to connecting with you and making your wedding day everything you want it to be.

After our engagement shoot with Heather I was immediately so relieved that I had booked her as my wedding photographer. She’s so easy going, funny, and transparent! Heather made us a mood board to capture the vibe of our engagement shoot, spent so much time posing us and researching locations for the shoot. She was so easy to get along with and knew exactly what I wanted! She sent my previews (so many!) the next day and I was in tears with how gorgeous they were. The photos sparked a new excitement for wedding planning for me, and I really can’t stop looking at them! Do not hesitate booking Heather. She will make you feel beautiful, comfortable, and confident! Book her!

San Luis Obispo, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

Capturing moments for the people I love, in the places they love, wherever that may be. There’s nothing more invigorating than giving people the opportunity to see themselves in a way that they never have before. Creating something meaningful for others is my passion. First, it’s important we get to know each other to make sure we’re a good fit cause trust me, it matters. I'll go first.

Fives across the board! Absolutely fell in love with Gage. Everything from his unique ability to capture a moment to his great personality. He made us feel like the only couple in the world. Gage made everything come to life. The big day seemed less stressful with him and his team there catching all the moments that mattered. Deciding whom to trust with the most important day of your life is stressful enough but make it easy on yourself and go with Gage! He’s out of this world and now apart of the family!

Cheers, you did it! You went from wildly in-love to newly engaged. It’s such a special time in life and you want to capture every fleeting moment. Your wedding photographer will be with you during some of your most cherished moments. So, finding someone with a personality that brings out the best in yours is essential. This is the part where we become fast friends. There is something so intimate and longstanding about being by someone’s side on their wedding day, and I can’t get enough of that feeling.

Sasha is such a sweet and talented photographer. She’s a pleasure to work with and a sweet mama to boot! Would definitely call her up again to work with in the future.

  • Classic style

I first picked up a camera in high school and was instantly obsessed with the process and possibilities of capturing images. I went on to study at The San Francisco Art Institute and transferred to The Art Center, College of Design in Pasadena, earning a BFA in Photography. I began my career as a photographer in a Los Angeles product photo studio. While working there, I found I had a talent for photo retouching. I worked as a professional retoucher for many years and know what many celebrities really look like hah! I made my way back to freelance photography after having my daughter in 2013.

We LOVED working with Gennan. Out photos are spectacular, abundant and just what we hoped for. I love that she schedules a call with you to discuss your style and vibes, to get to know you a bit. She was responsive through email prior to the big day, and I was so impressed she even brought some of the inspo pics I had sent for us to recreate. She was very professional while being easy and fun to shoot with! She even resent some photos that were B&W that we wanted in color. Edits were lovely. Now our only problem is trying to choose from so many favorites.

Hello! I'm Mike:) I'm a Christian and dedicated father to my 3 amazing children. Some of my favorite things are adventuring, travelling, eating, reading, seeing the Angels play and going to all kinds of concerts. I am also an avid Spartan racer!

We are so very glad that we found Michael to do our wedding and engagement photos! He came on recommendation from a great videographer in the area. From the minute we booked with him we got exceptional service and quality product. He made us feel very much at ease in doing our engagement photos. He knew where the best locations were and how to tell us to pose (or not pose). On the day of our wedding he took control of the kinds of photos he knew we wanted. The photos came back in a very timely manner and were outstanding. Our friends often comment on how beautifully done they are. He was so good that we continue to book him every single time we need photos taken. The walls in our house are covered in Michael's photos and they are absolutely gorgeous.

I value your time with your loved ones, and I photograph from that framework. One of my core values is honoring family and friends, and I reflect that as part of my brand and company. We prepare beforehand, so we can move through formal photos with ease, and get you to your dance party sooner! Meaning, photos won't drag on for hours... we've all been to one of those weddings, right? That won't be yours. When you become my client, you become my people. What does that mean for you? I'm there for you, and I have your back. I want to give you gorgeous photos that show the joy of your day, without having to miss all the fun stuff.

Tayler is literally the best! Picking the right photographer was such a big decision for our wedding and we are so thankful we picked Tayler, not only did our engagement pictures come out amazing (we only took them like 8 weeks before the big day to practice) but our wedding pictures were soo awesome. We both have strong, opinionated families and she was able to manage them effectively. Everyone complimented her personality and our pictures aquickly and they were sooo beautiful we couldn’t even pick our favorites. If you need a photographer look no further pick Taylor she won’t disappoint, she is so fun to work with and you get the best shots.

Everything that made our day special, from the flowers in the center of the aisle at the ceremony, to the smiles of my parents during my brother's speech. They've captured them all. When I showed the video to my parents and friends, my parents cried, my friends cried, I cried, because of how incredible the video captured our special day.

    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
    One of the most important parts of any special event (from weddings to fundraisers) is making sure you capture the spirit of the event. Mysi has photographed our annual Story Soirée multiple times and every time her photos have left me grinning from ear to ear. They are just so so so good! Not only are the action shots of our tellers (we are a storytelling nonprofit) wonderful, but the photos of folks reacting to our stories are my favorite. She is exceptionally skilled at capturing a range of emotions in a single photo and we have then used these photos in every marketing material imaginable. Mysi also photographed my wedding at City Hall! She got so many wonderful photos of our families crammed into the small courtroom and somehow made even the drab beige walls feel magical. It is also important for me to note that Mysi herself is an absolute dream to work with. She is communicative, punctual, and an utter delight. I sincerely cannot recommend her highly enough.

    I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

    Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    I can’t say enough great things about Sarah! She’s a great photographer, but if you are looking for the type of photog to be your ride or die on your wedding day. She’s your girl. Sarah went above and beyond to help my husband and I in what can only be described as a spiral of unfortunate events. We were set to be married in December in Ohio when 11 days from our big day our venue burnt down. Very long story short..we decided to take our family and some of our friends down to the smoky mountains to get eloped to keep our original date because that’s where we got engaged. Sarah was my guardian angel. In less then 10 days She found us a open venue that would give us a time slot for a small ceremony! She put out posts to locals to help me find a hair/makeup team and a videographer on a very limited timeline. She calmed me down when two hair/makeup teams canceled on me the day before and the day of. Not to mention she fought crazy weather (that day the south had the biggest line of tornadoes in history) and literally kept me laughing through every single let down. Her, my best friend and I rode out the craziness of the day together. Most of all through hell and high water..she was there to capture what was left of my original wedding day. So down the road I could have memories to show my kids. And she’s agreed to continue to capture the moments this year at our redo wedding in Ohio. She’s literally the best. She’s not just my photog. She’s a forever kind of friend!

Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

    My partner and I decided this was our year to elope.... and we were in search of a photographer to capture the ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. I looked on instagram geo tag of SF City Hall and saw really cute photos of other couples getting married. When I clicked into them, the majority of the ones I liked were taken by Joyce. I had my partner reach out to Joyce and she quickly responded and provided us very detailed information about the services she offers. We told her we wanted to proceed and she did a quick meet and greet over the phone to get to know more about us and our story. It was a very sweet and personable touch that I really appreciated. During the photoshoot, my partner and I were coached by Joyce on how to pose and where to stand. She even pays attention to the little details of hand and foot placement as well as gestures. She's very sweet and creative. We really appreciated her guidance since my partner and I are not comfortable having photos taken. Joyce had brought her partner Olivia to help her take photos. She was also very sweet and helpful. She went out of her way to help us hold our belongings as well as guide us during our photoshoot at our second location at Sutro Baths. Both Joyce and Olivia were kind enough to squeeze in photos of our immediate families as well without additional fees. She even made cute gifs of our kids circling us while we spun and kissed. The photos came out amazing and are very playful and cutesy. I am very glad we went worked with Joyce for our Elopement. I highly recommend her to document any of your special events. FYI: She offers really nice packages to fit your special days needs as well as guided dates which would be cute for a photo session on vacation.

Throughout the shoot, she gave us gentle guidance on posing and positioning, while still allowing us to be ourselves. The photos themselves are absolutely stunning. Julia captured the love and joy between us in a way that is truly magical. The colors are vibrant, the composition is creative, and the emotions are palpable. We have received so many compliments on our photos, and we feel so lucky to have these memories captured so beautifully. Overall, we cannot recommend Julia highly enough. She is an incredibly talented photographer with a true gift for capturing the essence of her subjects. If you're looking for someone to document your special moments, Julia is the one for you!

    Leslie is the best! She radiates sweetness and so beautifully captured our big day. She genuinely listens in each meeting, and is so easy to talk to. The relationship that she creates is one that makes the wedding so enjoyable— and you get the vision you want because she remembers what you wanted! We wanted photos that were light, airy, and timeless— her touch is exactly that. I can’t stop posting the photos and choosing which ones to post has been hard because I love them all!! You will not regret choosing Leslie for your big day- you can feel the love and energy through the photos. She also offers incredible print options and we got our favorite photo in a stunning acrylic!! Overall, pictures are one of the biggest parts of a wedding and she delivered on every front. She created a schedule that was perfect for the flow of the wedding, she could get people where they needed to be, she captured moments that I missed during the day (and I love to look back on now), and of course all the important moments!

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.

After our initial consult we knew we had to book her ASAP. Sarah is such a bright and fun presence. She brought the BEST energy to both our sunrise engagement shoot and our full wedding day when a hype woman is exactly what we needed. She is positive, confident, fun, and just plain GREAT at what she does! As for her photography, I’m sure that can speak for itself - it is truly gorgeous!! She beautifully captures meaningful moments and the results are phenomenal. She got so many sweet candid and action shots that captured the emotions of the day so well. Finally, Sarah was always professional and great with communication. It helps that she is a genuinely kind person who so clearly wants your day to turn out perfectly!

She not only made the day seamless, fun, and stressless, but hot dang does she take amazing photos! Our friends and family were blown away by her professionalism, kindness, and talent the night of, and we’re blown away a second time when we got our sneak peak of photos back. Caitlin captured moments that I didn’t even realize she was taking pictures of, and I’m so glad she did. My only regret is not having more wall space to hang all the photos she took, because I can’t pick favorites since they all captured the day so perfectly.

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.

I used Mindy to capture two events, a proposal and and a surprise engagement party. For the proposal, Mindy spend a lot of time with me thinking through the right proposal spot at the location I was looking at to make sure that it worked for the photos, she even got there early to make sure that it worked. She was so well hidden to capture the proposal that for a moment I wasn't sure she was there, but she was and captured it and spent time with us after to take photos. We just got the sneak peak of the photos and they look fantastic. For the surprise party Mindy got there early and started to capture moments even before my fiancee and I arrived, she was really flexible on what worked best for the event so we can't wait to see the final photos!

Through the whole wedding process she kept checking on me which I appreciated so much. It was nice to be able to rant to someone about all that we were dealing with due to covid but she remained so positive! The wedding day came and she got right to work! She is definitely assertive but I think thats something that is needed!! She cracked jokes the whole time which we loved. Having to wrangle family/ wedding party to make sure you get all the shots and stay on time is not easy! I got my gallery yesterday and was floored.

    I found Nicole kind of serendipitously on Instagram - she had commented on a post mentioning that she would love to shoot a wedding at our venue so I sent her a DM to inquire about her services. She was very attentive to answering all my questions and scheduling a call to discuss our wedding and her services. We found her pricing to be very competitive and edged out the other photographers we had been considering. We were excited her package included an engagement shoot and thought it was a good opportunity to build rapport and feel more comfortable having our photos taken before our wedding day. We live a few hours away from our venue and her location but she graciously offered to travel to us for our engagement shoot! We could tell she put a lot of effort into scouting out locations and making the most of our shoot, and she turned our photos around to us so quickly! It was just a few weeks before our wedding so it had us feeling excited and confident that our photos would turn out great. Our wedding day went very smoothly and Nicole was very organized and did a great job! She even came up to me during the wedding to let me know that we might want to reshoot some photos of my dad lifting my veil. I thought that was so considerate! Just like our engagement shoot, I could tell the time and effort she put into scouting out locations and getting all the photos we had asked for. There were a few photos on my shot list that we did not get to do, which obviously we had hoped to have, but I understand my wedding was a very short timeline. We were blown away by the sneak peeks we received just 24 hours after our wedding! And Nicole managed to turn our entire gallery around to us in just 3 weeks. We had friends who got married 6 weeks before us and they were still waiting on their gallery! The gallery is easy to share with friends and family, easy to download and well organized! We really appreciate Nicole for capturing our day so beautifully and giving us photos that we can look back on and love forever! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and hope to be able to use her services in the future to capture more seasons of our lives!

For 13 years already we’ve felt truly honored to have people’s trust for considering us to photograph one of the most important days of their life! We have dedication and passion for what we do and for the people around us! We love how we are able to connect with couples who have the same approach to love and values that we share. Our couples are kind, creative, unique, love adventuring, treat other with respect and throw a wedding that feels like them!

    The Theodors were a great duo to work with. They were easy to book and to message. They are the type of people that you want to shoot any big important event of yours. They were both very friendly and soft spoken. Throughout the day, they were everywhere taking photos. I think they captured every possible moment of our wedding. They directed us perfectly to be able to capture all the beauty. Two weeks after our wedding they sent ALOT of photos as a sneak peek of what was to come. My wife and I loved every photo of our wedding that they have given us so far and are beyond excited to see the rest. Thank you Theodors for capturing the fun and excitement through your lense and allowing us to enjoy and reminisce for years to come.

    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 :)

I of course have them on my Preffered Vendor List and highly highly recommend them to my couples. You will have such a fun time with these two, and all of your special moments will be captured- garenteed! True professionals.

    Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

    I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

    What a pleasure to meet and work with Nicole. She was so friendly and worked so well with the couple and the venue. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for that special touch!

    I don't have enough words to thank or describe our time with Jean! I had to book her last minute because another photographer quit on me! She responded fast and was so kind and understanding.
