We hired a photographer from Aladdin Films, and we could not be happier that we did that! He was very professional but in a strict way, he made us feel comfortable during the posing parts, and controlled the whole flow of the photo shoot process. The photos came up more than great, they are fantastic. I could not wait to share them with my parents and friends. My mother burst down crying (as usual), and I'm with her. We're so grateful that we found them. Thank you!

The dress, the flowers, the celebration... I'm obsessed with all of it! This is my dream job, that's for sure. (Not to mention my workday always ends with cake!) There's a solid chance that I will gush over how gorgeous your dress is about a million times and get teary-eyed at least once. Stressed-out bridesmaids and frantic family members always seem to relax when I show up with calm reassurance that everything will be ok- this isn't my first rodeo, and yes, your hair looks fabulous. I am not only there to capture your day, but also to be your biggest cheerleader, your advocate, dress fluffer, and lipstick-on-the-teeth checker.

Randall de Leon Photography

Los Angeles, CA
  • Classic style

  • Serves Santa Maria, CA

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.

Randall's professionalism and ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera truly made our engagement photoshoot a delightful experience. He not only captured beautiful moments but also found the perfect, affordable location for us. On our wedding day, Randall went above and beyond to ensure that every special moment was captured. Despite our uncertainty about specific photo preferences, he skillfully directed us and managed to capture a diverse range of shots, ensuring that every aspect of our day was beautifully documented. His dedication to focusing on us and his ability to adapt to our preferences truly made our wedding photography experience exceptional. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a talented and accommodating photographer.

I believe that storytelling makes the world go ‘round, thus it gives me such great joy to be a part of telling yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Hey Honey on Instagram via a friend of a friend. I was immediately drawn to the photo's natural/polished look and the genuine enjoyment on the couple's faces. After phone interviews with about 5-6 photographers I was immediately at ease with Anna. She was incredibly prepared for our conversation, asked thoughtful/thorough questions, and seemed genuinely excited at the opportunity to work with us. It was an easy yes after that call! The engagement session was more fun than we could have imagined. She gave great direction and was really playful. It was a great experience to warm us up for the big day. Anna offered to join my mom, florist and I at a venue walkthrough. I was really blown away that she went above and beyond to do that. The day of was a little tricky because we were working around rain but she was prepared and gave great direction. She brought a second photographer and they did a great job together, it made a world of difference. Overall you will find that Anna's warmth feels like a friend and with her organization and confidence you know you're with a pro. She made the whole experience feel unique and special even though she does this regularly. I would definitely choose her again!

Marisa and Tim were absolutely amazing! We had originally planned for them to photograph our micro wedding in December 2020. However, due to Covid protocols, that was not possible. Because of this, they were incredibly accommodating and we had a newlywed session in November 2021 at the LA Arboretum. Since it was our first photoshoot, my husband and I were nervous. Throughout the entire process, Marisa maintained communication, was super helpful with providing tips, and calmed our nerves! The photoshoot was so much fun! Marisa and Tim made us laugh the entire time, always keeping in mind the details that were important to us. If you’re looking for photographers who will partner with you while also creating beautiful photographs, we highly recommend them!

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.

Such a talented photographer. Highly recommend Shelby for all your photo needs you won’t regret it.

As a wedding photographer, my connection to my couples is more important to me than anything else. Serving couples getting married in dreamy wedding locations, whether it’s a vineyard in Carmel Valley or a beach wedding in Monterey, fills my heart with so much joy. It’s always a thrill to return to venues I love, but with nearly 100 weddings in my portfolio, it still surprises me how different each and every wedding day truly is. The menu you choose, the music you dance to, the color palette that inspires you - it all comes together on your wedding day to tell your story.

As your wedding photographer, a significant part of my role is to consider the fine art aspects of the galleries I create. Things like choosing the best light to fall over your wedding gown, balancing compositions, blending color, and layering textures to create dynamic and beautiful images. But it's much bigger than that. Photographs tell our stories, reveal emotion in ways that words can't, and offer the gift of visual legacy. An artfully told story transcends time. Beautiful photographs require exceptional artists. And you deserve exceptional art.

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!

At Charby & Co, we believed your love story is too important to not be captured how it feels. While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

Jasmine is incredible, which there isn’t quite a word adequate to describe her. She is fun, personable, and a bride’s champion. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and she captured the vision I wanted. But, she was also the perfect hype woman and stood up for what I wanted. There’s truly no words to describe and express how glad I was to have her as my photographer.

We cannot recommend Dylan enough as a wedding photographer! From our very first call, we knew we found the right person to capture our big day. He’s friendly, professional, and super talented—we are constantly looking at our pictures and in awe of how they turned out. He captured everything we wanted and more. We aren’t really big picture people, but he made us comfortable and we had so much fun the whole time. If you’re lucky enough to get Dylan, BOOK HIM and you won’t regret it.

Facing a nearly unruly crowd of excited and well meaning but utterly nailing jello to a tree disconnected from reality, she somehow calmly, coolly (Clint Eastwood got nothing on her..) shepherded cats and created a spectacular flow of heartfelt images that will not only stand the test of time, but are treasured daily.

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

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

Sebastian was a huge part of our wedding day and the planning process. From the moment we met him a year before our wedding day for our engagement photos, we knew we picked the right photographer for us. We fell in love with his quality of work, work ethic, and personality. He coached us with posing, and we were comfortable taking his direction. The vision he has comes to life candidly in the photos, and after three photo sessions with him, I cannot pick a favorite because they're all uniquely beautiful. Our first session was our engagement session, which I wanted to do on a boat in the Keys because it's a special place and hobby for us so I thought it would be a personal touch and photos we could cherish forever. He was all about the idea and didn't nickel and dime us, which often happens as you plan this very personal event. I prioritized finding vendors who truly love what they do and are invested in their couple, not just the event, and Sebastian is just that! I am forever grateful to my planner for connecting me to him, and I hope to work with him for many more life moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the minute we met with Adrienne Gunde, I knew we had to have her take our engagement and wedding photos!! She was so easy to talk to, enthusiastic about our ideas, and made the process so fun! We did our engagement photos with her at Old Town Pasadena and she captured a shot for us that made me feel like we were in a magazine shoot! It was my husband lifting me up in the middle of the intersection. I literally blew it up and had it framed once we received it! She was patient and made it such a memorable experience. The photos she took of our wedding…. I have made photo books for the grandparents and I blown up onto canvas and framed photos around our home, and we still look at them and reminisce of that magical day! (This was 7 years ago… and still some of my favorite photos to look at!) I highly recommend Adrienne because she will not only capture the most beautiful photos, she will make the experience an enjoyable one.

Founded in 2009, Todd Danforth Photography is an award-winning destination wedding photography duo based between Southern California and New England. We are dedicated to the craft of visual storytelling, providing an authentic and intimate portrayal of your wedding with intention and lyrical artistry. Our photographs have been featured in renowned publications such as People Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, Out Magazine, USA Today, California Wedding Day, and more.

Todd is an incredible wedding photographer - as both a fellow wedding vendor and as a bride my experience with him was absolutely outstanding. As a colleague, it was a always a joy to arrive to an event to find that Todd was the photographer - his warm demeanor and kindness made every event we collaborated on extra special. Couples clearly adored him - I've known clients who returned to Todd after their weddings for family portraits, baby showers, birth announcements and all the other life milestones that he helps to commemorate with gorgeous photographs. I have recommended Todd to my dearest friends and cannot say enough good things about his incredible eye, warm presence and commitment to his craft.   When it came time to have my own wedding, there was no one else I could have imagined capturing the details of the day. Todd was an absolute joy to work with and his exquisite skill as a photographer made our wedding day incredibly special. As a very shy person, I was nervous about being photographed but Todd put me at my ease immediately and managed to make me feel relaxed, calm and centered enough to enjoy the day. Todd has a wonderful eye for composition and capturing the most beautiful and touching candid moments. As part of my getting ready photos, Todd took a picture of of me petting my beloved cat and that black and white photo is still one of my favorite photographs ever - both because it captures something intimately personal with deep significance, but also because it is a gorgeously composed work of art.   In addition to making beautiful photos, Todd's warmth, good humor and palpable love for his work make him a dream to work with. It's impossible not to smile around Todd, not just because he's taking your picture, but because his gentle energy makes you feel completely at your ease and cared for - his own smile radiates joy. Todd effortlessly manages all the complex details that go into capturing each and every moment of your special day and the results are breathtaking. I cannot recommend Todd highly enough!

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm going to break this down as simply as possible...... Melissa is a dream come true. She is everything you could ask for in a photographer and SO MUCH MORE. She's professional, kind,an excellent communicator, and has the best creative eye. But that's not all that makes Melissa great; she has the ability to make you feel comfortable. My husband is a shy, introverted kind of dude - the kind who'd rather do household chores than pose in front of a camera and smile - and Melissa has this nature about her that made him feel relaxed and at ease to catch our best moments. All of that is just touching a little bit on the SKILL Melissa has. Besides her exceptional talent, she is a joy to be around, Melissa brightens a room! You can't help but feel like your best self around her... it makes for some really wonderful digital lifetime memories. Can't say enough about what a treasure Melissa is. 10 out of 5 stars, easy.

Hiiii, I’m Taylor! Wife to my best friend, Golden Retriever mom to our Beckham, and outdoor enthusiast. My business was created purely out of passion. I’ve always had a love for photography, art and design. I first picked up a camera in 2009 during a high school film class and haven’t stopped shooting since. My photography is inspired by nature’s beauty and life’s beautiful details. I have an infatuation with natural light, details & beautiful scenery. I strive to create light-filled, romantic & timeless imagery, from capturing all the small details to the raw emotional moments. This is my dream job and I’m thankful for it every day.

I don't even know where to start! Taylor is the BEST photographer around! I am absolutely obsessed with my photos and have received SO many compliments. Taylor is a natural, and was literally everywhere! We are able to relive the entire day because she truly captured it all. Taylor made the entire process so seamless and easy for us. Taylor made us both so relaxed and at ease, and was so much fun to work with! My husband was a little awkward at first (during engagement session) because he's never had photos like that done before, but Taylor made it so fun and enjoyable and kept us laughing the whole time that it felt so natural with her. On our wedding day I felt so confident and comfortable with Taylor and our timeline we created together, that I wasn't worried in the slightest. Taylor is incredible and you'll be so lucky to have her for your wedding photographer!

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.

I have been a storyteller my whole life. From throwing on crazy costumes to entertain my family to picking up a camera for the first time, I've always known storytelling was my passion! I am a wife to my rock, my goofy dance partner, my best friend. I am a mama to Parker and doggy mommy to Dunken who is constantly chasing both of them around yelling "YOU'RE SO CUTE LET ME SQUEEZE YOU!!"... true story.

When we were planning for our wedding almost a year ago, it was so important to find a photographer we loved and were able to completely trust. We immediately knew after our initial phone conversation with Tyler that we didn’t need to look any further. Tyler isn’t just a photographer...she does SO MUCH more. Our wedding venue ended up canceling on us midway through this year. I was devastated but Tyler was there every step of the way and ALWAYS accommodating. She answered texts and was always available...even if it was asking for advice on bridesmaids dress colors. We ended up deciding to elope with family in an intimate beach setting. Tyler helped pick a venue and led the entire step of the way. I never felt like I was just another bride to Tyler. My grandparents who weren’t able to attend got to relive the day through our photos which is something I’ll cherish forever. We look at our photos almost daily and stare at them in awe...nonetheless, Tyler gave us a sneak peek in about 24hrs!!! If you want someone you can trust and rely on and know someone who can take all you milestone photos moving further...look know further. Tyler is simply the best.

We are Dustin and Courtney, best friends and photographers. Before we shot weddings together we were a bride and groom. Yep, dated and married in less than a year! We just knew we wanted to do life together. As time has gone by we learned much more important things about each other. For example, Dustin’s heart can easily be won over with a hot cup of coffee, surfing, chasing our kids and any action movie. Courtney's perfect day includes drinking a chai latte, going for a hike with the family and shopping.

Dustin and his team were truly a delight to work with for my wedding! He is so kind, creative, attentive, profressional, positive, energetic and makes you feel at ease during your event. My husband does not like to take photos and he had nothing but great things to say about Dustin. And the pictures of course were amazing! Do not hesitate to book Dustin for your next event, you won't regret it!

Planning a wedding and then covid ruining half of your plans is stressful and complicated. We got engaged in 2018 and I booked Pegi right away after seeing her amazing pictures from a friends wedding. We were supposed to be married 12/31/20 and it would have been Pegis first New Years Eve wedding. She was so excited and booking her was the easiest thing I ever done. Unfortunately, covid had other plans. Our wedding at our venue was postponed but we decided to do a small wedding with our immediate family and friends. Pegi was on board for our postponement date and offered to shoot our wedding on New Years Eve. She was AMAZING. I knew I hired the right person. Five months later was our “real” wedding. May 8th 2021. Pegi was in communication with me constantly and answered any questions I had. She had us in a precise timeline and it worked out perfectly. I was able to get every picture I wanted and make my cocktial hour. She knew what we wanted and I love that she took the most candid shots of us. My entire family and friends can’t stop talking about how incredible she was to everyone all night. She even came out on the dance floor with us and had so much fun. So far she has sent me a sneak pack, two days later, and I’m obsessed. I will be using her for the future and recommending her to every couple I know!!! Thank you so much Pegi for everything. Words can’t express how much we appreciate you, especially during Covid. We love you! Love, the Boesenhofers

But everybody calls me a Photographer. That is who I am and what I am known for. As a young man growing I had a dream to capture the dreams of others and bring them to reality on film and canvass, this was what I was born to do. Each day I walk into my studio, I thank God for allowing me the privilege of living out my dreams.”

-Overall: We loved working with Sam and his daughter Loreen – they were professional, kind, and captured so many wonderful moments at our May wedding. -Photo Style: We hired Sam and Loreen for our wedding photos for their cinematic qualities. We looked at several photographers, but we saw a lot of photos that looked like they could have been taken with an iPhone. Sam is different - his style is classic photography, and Loreen's attention to detail really complimented Sam's style. -Working with Sam and Loreen: We did many portraits as a couple and with our wedding party, and Sam and Loreen worked the room during our cocktail hour and reception. In addition, we interviewed Sam and he reassured us that working with my brother, Seth, who is autistic, wouldn't be a problem - and it wasn't! Sam and Loreen gave great, clear instruction, which is always helpful and appreciated.

Hello, I am Alexius. I was born and raised right here in the good ole North Carolina. I live in Raleigh now, but I was raised in a small town of "Midway" (right outside of Winston-Salem). I found my passion for photography about five years ago and still amazed at the places that my little camera has taken me. I am even more amazed at the friends I have made while pursuing my passion for photography and filmmaking. I can promise that I will always be your biggest cheerleader. I will guide you throughout the whole process. I want my couples to walk away with not just great pictures, but with a wonderful client experience.
