Brittney Raine Photography

5.0

Santa Monica, CA
  • Editorial style

**PSA: Please inquire via website instead of through Zola!** I'm Brittney, a wedding and portrait photographer from Los Angeles. I'm a houseplant enthusiast, traveler (no place is too far), enneagram 4, binge-watcher of The Office, ice cream lover, and introvert fascinated by human emotion + connection. 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 EVERYTHING. She shot my sister’s shore wedding and delivered such gorgeous photos, we knew we needed her for our wedding! We were married in Punta Cana and Brittney made all the photography/destination logistics SO EASY. Looking at our photos, you would have no idea that Brittney only saw the location the day before our wedding. She captured the beach location perfectly. But where Brittney truly sets herself apart from other photographers is in her ability to capture candid moments. Looking through our wedding album is so emotional because the photos perfectly reflect how everyone was feeling throughout the day. And finally, I cannot write a review that captures her skill without mentioning her as a person. Brittney is kind, fun, and sensitive. She has such a calm presence during your wedding that she disappears into the background (this is how she is able to capture so many candid moments). Since my wedding, she has continued to be a thoughtful friend who is always down for a coffee date. I love Brittney. Hiring her was the single most important decision I made for my wedding!

Betsy Newman Photography

Santa Monica, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,000

Betsy is a lifestyle, wedding, and music photographer based in Los Angeles. She discovered photography as a creative outlet while studying theater at USC. Shortly after graduation, Betsy was hired as the tour photographer for Maroon 5 and documented 34 concerts across the country. Since then, Betsy has been on the road with One Direction, One Republic, Charlie Puth, and most recently Trevor Noah. Betsy's eye for candid moments and storytelling has led to photographing weddings around the world. She lives for documenting life and love through the lens. Betsy looks forward to hearing from you and bringing your vision to life!

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (over 2 years after my engagement photos were taken) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Betsy all the love and praise she deserves. Betsy photographed our engagement photos and would have done our wedding as well if she wasn’t already booked. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Betsy previously and she was always so fun, easy to work with and matched my energy on every level! She gets so excited when she knows she is ‘getting the shot’ that you can’t help but get excited too. I had a very specific vision for our engagement photos and she was 100% on board to make it happen. I love the photos so much and will treasure them forever as they document a very exciting time in our lives. I absolutely love working with Betsy and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

Adam Griffin Photo

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
If we could give more stars we would! Adam went above and beyond both of our expectations. Not only is his work breathtaking, he is also incredibly friendly, attentive, professional, and easy to work with. He made sure our wedding day was the best day of our lives, walking us through step by step what to expect and even came to survey our venue prior to the date to make sure everything would be perfect. Communication was excellent leading up to and even more so on the day of the wedding. We can't thank him enough!

Stephen Tang Photo

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
Stephen has been a joy to work to with—he's accommodating, generous with his time, professional, punctual, a clear communicator, and we're very happy with the photos we have from both our engagement shoot and wedding.

Kristina Lee Photography

5.0

Long Beach, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,700

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
As a wedding planner, I get the opportunity to work with many photographers. BY FAR, Kristina Lee Photography is my all-time favorite! Not only does she have an artistic eye for capturing moments, but she also makes the couples feel comfortable and relaxed. Kristina also is a team player with the rest of the vendors. Her turn around time for images is like no other. The generosity of what she pours into her craft and service is admirable! Kristina is both professional and playful which clients love and trust! I have no hesitation in recommending Kristina Lee Photography. As a matter of fact, I highly encourage it! You'll have the best pictures with the most delightful photographer!

Oleg and his team are THE MOST talented video/photo team I have every met and worked with. A lot of trust goes into finding someone that can capture your day for a lifetime of memories and we are BEYOND THRILLED to have chosen ZayaEvent. We met with Oleg for the first time and he was so detailed and excited about what he does. It made us excited to work with him! We sent inspo on what we wanted for our engagement shoot and shared what our vision was for our wedding. He captured it all perfectly! We chose to do our engagement shoot at The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. Oleg was on time and made the experience so much fun. I am very camera shy but he made us both feel very comfortable and captured candid moments of us purely having fun. On our wedding day, Oleg and his team arrived and conquered it all! They were a joy to work with and soooo organized. They created a 1-min movie-quality video for us the next day and returned some photos as a sneak-peek. I CANNOT WAIT to see everything else he captured from our special day! I would work with Oleg and his team over and over again!

We booked Sam for our engagement shoot and our wedding reception, and we’re so happy we did. She’s fun to work with, very communicative, and creates the most beautiful photos. She’s able to capture the vibe you ask for, and if you’re unsure, she can still figure out how to make something stunning. Would highly recommend Sam for any first-timers like me who have never been photographed, or for nerdy brides who like to talk about Star Wars during a shoot!

I started Fresh Studio in 2009 to share my creative voice. Fast forward to 14 years later, it has become a platform for telling visual stories about the beauty of human connection and celebration. I live to experience the richness of collective human energy. Whether it's a wedding, a convention of the minds, or a performance on the stage, I'm at my best in this world when I'm behind a lens using photography to document your important moments, freezing them in time to live beyond a single day.

Jami was our wedding photographer during a post-pandemic time when all wedding vendors are completely overwhelmed. And yet whenever I connected with Jami, I felt like I was receiving her full and direct attention. My husband and I are not the most natural in front of the camera, so it was very important to us to have someone that could make us feel comfortable and come out of our shells and Jami exceeded those expectations. Her vibes and energy are unmatched. Shooting with her and having her present on our big day was a blast and simultaneously the calming energy needed to re-center and focus on each other. I will without a doubt be recommending Jami to everyone I know, as well as continuing to use her for any future life milestones. Her style and talent are evident in her work, but SHE is what brings it out of people. 1000/10 recommend

THE GOLD COLLECTIVE

5.0

South Pasadena, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $16,000

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! (:

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.

Hi, I'm Katherine Rose. I am originally from the East Coast, but now call Los Angeles home. I've been photographing weddings since 2011 and have been privileged to shoot all over the US and abroad. It’s a privilege to be invited into someone’s life, at the start of their marriage, because a wedding is a moment which attempts to distill the very best of a couple, and what their hopes are for the future. I love that a wedding is creating a foundation which sets up a couple for what will hopefully be a long happy life together. That I get to be there, while this foundation is being built, is exhilarating, and something I don’t take for granted.

We've had the pleasure of working with Katherine on multiple weddings, and each time our clients speak highly of Katherine's professionalism, calming manner, lovely personality, and her amazing work. Not only does she produce beautiful images, but she puts everyone at ease on event date.

NOT AN IMAGE OF PERFECTION. PROOF OF PRESENCE. I feel strongly that everyone can and should feel beautiful. I hate the idea that some are photogenic and others are not. Helping you feel like your truest and most beautiful self in your photos isn’t just something I do for a job - I do it because everyone deserves images that make them feel that way. It’s my privilege to preserve the beauty of your humanity. ALSO you're in love! You're fun! You're investing a lot, so it shouldn't feel like a chore or checklist item in your story. It should feel like playing dress up with your best friend and a random lady that is nice to you (me).

I can't shut up about Rachel. She is confident, diligent and personable. The effortless cues and small adjustments and suggestions she makes while shooting never leave you thinking "What should I do now?". I recommend her to absolute everybody.

Book Sarah now!! My fiance hired Sarah for a surprise proposal photoshoot and a 1-hour engagement session after. Every step of the way, Sarah was excellent! She was quick to respond to my fiance and coordinated everything seamlessly. Once I arrived at the spot, she was discreet to not ruin the surprise. When we finally met for the longer shoot, I was instantly at ease. Taking engagement pictures is awkward- posing, PDA, being overly excited about everything- and Sarah was great at handling everything! She was easy to talk to, had tons of great ideas, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. From making sure I could handle certain types of terrain in my shoes to ensuring that my short dress would be fine for any lift photos, she was professional and prepared every step of the way. Sarah shot our photos on Sunday; by the time we were sitting at dinner an hour later, she had sent us 5 pictures already edited. By Monday we had a gif, and by Thursday we had the entire gallery. Not only are the pictures gorgeous, but Sarah's efficiency, professionalism, and outstanding quality made such a difference for us. We are so lucky to have worked with her and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone! Thank you so much, Sarah, for being a part of one of the most special days of our lives!

It sounds cheesy but I love capturing authentic and candid moments and giving you photos that you can look back on and love; I've been photographing for over 20+ years. I never realized (until going full-time with photography) that photography has always been such a present part of my life; I love documenting these moments and having them to look at later. I notice all of the small details, the exchange of smiles during a ceremony, or the look in your partner's eye when they see you for the very first time walking down an aisle. I'll capture it!

Jenn took our engagement photos on a beach in Gloucester, MA. Her casual and fun demeanor allowed us to be our authentic selves and the photos really capture that. We would consider ourselves pretty camera shy (where do I put my hands!), but Jenn gave us small corrections that made our photos look and feel natural. Not only did she exceed our expectations, but we had a blast during the whole process!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. 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.

When we started planning our wedding I knew that I wanted to work with Isaac. I had been following his work on Instagram for a few years after my friend got married and I always love the energy and emotion he can capture in his photography. The photos are bright and colorful and feel very natural. After meeting Isaac, he is one of the nicest people and it was a real pleasure to have him at our wedding. And the photos turned out just as I had hoped. There are lots of great family shots, the details of the bridal party getting ready, setup and all of our guests enjoying the reception are really fun. And the sunset photos have a magic quality to them. I definitely got so many photos its difficult to decide which ones to print and frame for the wall.

BOOK IMMEDIATELY. My husband and I were very thoughtful in our plan for all of our vendors, but the most important thing was the feeling we got when we met someone and if we could envision ourselves spending the day with them. Not only are you vendors responsible for the content/memories/feeling of your day but they spend time with you. ESPECIALLY your photographer on the day of the wedding- sharing some of the most intimate moments with you. The second we met Ashley we knew we found our person, she is an incredible human being. Not only is she extremely talented, but she makes you feel so comfortable and nothing ever felt forced!! During some of the most intimate moments, we never felt like anyone was with us and during times where we needed support she was friendly and warm. I wish we could celebrate all over again just to spend time with her. Also, she went above and beyond when she didnt even need too... my bridesmaids and I booked Uber XLs to take us to the venue and needless to say one was very late! But we were saved because Ashley ended up driving me and three of my girls to our wedding :) best card ride ever!!! She is a dream to work with and please read her weekly newsletters because SO MANY helpful tips a tricks. We only have our "teasers" so far and I can already tell you that these are some of the best photos of us we've ever seen. Lastly, many vendors dont provide these additional services included in her package but Ashley came with everything included. We adore you Ashley - best vendor ever!

Daria's style is like a blend of real-life moments and fashion flair, and our wedding photos could've easily graced any bridal magazine. She or her assistant - Connor, were like flies on the wall! I was impressed that they were always nearby, but blending perfectly with the guests! She was always super professional, always on time, and kept us calm amidst all the wedding chaos. (And we had a very chaotic day, from missing a cake for a cake cut to me (bride) breaking a heel on my shoes) She's got this incredible eye for capturing raw emotions and tiny details that would've otherwise gone unnoticed. Looking at our photos, it's like we're reliving the entire day. During the portrait sessions, Daria worked her magic, giving us tips that made us look and feel like Hollywood stars.

When we decided to book she helped so much with ideas for outfits, time of day, and locations to shoot as well!! When we scheduled our engagement shoot, it worked perfectly to where she could come to our location while she was in Cinci. Day of the shoot, anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong BUT Alana handled everything with such flexibility and ease. We were able to get shots before and after the torrential downpour that forced us to change locations and WE ARE IN LOVE with the photos. I seriously can’t say enough amazing things about her. She makes us even more excited for our wedding just through looking at our engagement photos and the photos she shares on her blog/website/Instagram. Long story short: book her. She’s your girl for all things wedding ❤️❤️

I’m a modern and journalistic photographer who specializes in capturing candid, spontaneous moments in a natural and unobtrusive way. It is characterized by its emphasis on storytelling and the use of a documentary style of photography. modern and journalistic photography emphasizes authenticity, storytelling, and capturing the unique personality and emotions of the subject. By using a natural and unobtrusive approach, I create a more personal and intimate representation of their subject.

We were really loved Bryan's works. We had fun and easy engagement session and wedding day with him. He did absolutely lovely job. We really appreciate the high level of service that we received. He prepared a lot which i really loved. can't believe that a man can understands bride's mind!!! This place is so unique so I don't worry about recommend Bryan to my friends and family members taking same session with them. because he knows his customers very well and he gives different but the perfect concept and themes to his customers. One of my friend is already had meeting with him for her upcoming wedding and I am so glad I found right place for myself and for her. It was such an amazing time for both of us. My husband loved and enjoyed taking pictures. I really liked his detail retouch.. (Bryan!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I finally saved up for our dream wedding in Hawaii, the best choice we ever had was to have Masha as our photographer! If you are tight on the funds, we opted out of a wedding planner and allocated are funds to a very good photographer. I am baseline awkward and she was able to make me look like a model! She is very professional, always on time/punctual with appointments and prompt email replies. She has a very in depth understanding of shadows, light, angles. I appreciate how she directs us on poses and she is very accommodating. She has a wide range of photography styles but we chose her for her editorial photography style like Vogue or Elle magazine, which is very hard to do. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

Hi, I’m Stacie! After initially going to a photography school for architectural photography, I quickly learned I had a passion for human connection and a natural ability for making people feel at ease. Once I photographed my first wedding I was smitten. Now over a decade later I still absolutely love what I do. I am passionate about creating beautiful photographs that are sincere, meaningful, full of emotion, and feel like you. I want you to be able to look back on your wedding photographs year after year and remember all the emotions - the laughter, the tears of joy, and the love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Oh my gosh, we have no words. Stacie McChesney (Vitae Weddings) was the perfect photographer for our special day and we were overjoyed with our experience. Do yourselves a favor and book her immediately. From the moment Stacie stepped in the room, she put both of us at ease. Her energy immediately put us in a relaxed mindset, and that allowed us to just be together, have fun, and be present with each other and our loved ones. She had a clear plan of what/where to shoot but also reacted whenever inspiration unexpectedly struck. Stacie were equal parts guide, cheerleader, and secret agent. We're so grateful to have had our dedicated time for portraits with her. She even snuck us away at one point to get golden hour sunset pictures! The extra care she took with us was outstanding. During the reception, she was unobtrusive while capturing amazing moments. Not only was she amazing to us, but also our guests. An unexpected surprise was she gave us a fully edited sneak peek within two days of the event! The small sample alone is incredible. Her style is unlike any other wedding photographs we've seen--it's like they could be in a magazine editorial! We cannot wait to see the rest of the images she captured. Stacie was fantastic to work with leading up to, during, and after the big event. We're thrilled that she was our photographer.

Eli Holmes Photo + Film

Block Island, RI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

This was a long time of a review coming!!! I booked Jessie & Jason back in August 2019 for my engagement session photos. We chose the Half day session photo coverage, which includes your engagement session! I thought that was super helpful and convenient because the package the engagement session and wedding day photos are lumped into one. The engagement session was amazing! We went to the seven magic mountains and Lake las Vegas at 5 am. They did everything they could and more to make me and my fiance comfortable. We knew that our wedding day photos were going to be epic! Fast forward to Wedding day, August 2020, Jessie was very understanding and accommodating to changing my wedding date. I had to change my date due to COVID, as I am sure many Brides have had to do. The Emerics are very flexible. Do not be afraid to book as if things change, you can always reach out and they will accommodate. Wedding day comes, and oh man. It was Majestic!!!!!!!! It was a dream. I was late thanks to my Lyft and other things.....but the Emerics made sure to keep me, my bridal party, and family ON SCHEDULE. They are also Spanish speaking!! Which is what I needed for my family. They make sure to ask what is important to you as far as photos, and what shots to get. The day of, they never leave your side. I felt 100% total confidence in them that day, and trust me, I am one of those OCD brides who needed to be in control of everything!!! But with them, I let go. Overall it was amazing. I highly recommend them not just for the beautiful photos, but for the experience. It was intimate, supportive and genuinely caring.

I could go on about her but I'll try to be brief - Kyrsten was absolutely incredible at making me and my now-husband feel comfortable in our own skin. We talked on the phone when I first reached out and immediately hit it off, which was easy because she is sassy and says it like it is which I absolutely love. She took our engagement photos on the hottest day of the summer and we had a blast even with sweat dripping down our backs. She had us laughing the whole time and we even wound up in a fountain! I did bridal portraits with her a month before my wedding and it gave me so much peace of mind to know what to expect for the wedding day and to see how everything photographed. At our wedding, Kyrsten made quick work of getting through our large families while keeping the peace amid the chaos. We are obsessed with our engagement photos and my bridal portraits and are anxiously awaiting our wedding photos! I can not recommend Kyrsten enough - but make sure you book her early, she books up fast! Her personality is infectious and her tips and tricks for creating natural smiles and laughter are the funniest!

I have traveled and photographed weddings and engagement shoots all over the country including internationally. I still get nervous before every wedding I photograph. If I didn’t have nervous tension, I probably would have lost the drive and passion for what I love doing the most. The reason for my love of wedding photography is simple: I love spending the day with brides and grooms creating wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. I hunt for moments that cannot be recreated or relived. I love capturing the raw emotion of a wedding day. I want to be the best not only for myself but especially for my clients.

Just book Peter! You won’t regret it. Super cool and personable from our visit video call with him. He was very flexible with our engagement shoot and generous with his time.

Hello My name is Andris Dzeguze I am a creative eye behind Dzen Documentary. I discovered my passion for photography in my grandfather's darkroom, and it has been an integral part of my identity. The ability to freeze moments in time and craft visual stories with light has captivated me for a long time. In my portfolio, you'll uncover what sets me apart: Showcased in publications such as Vanity Fair and Wall Street Journal Magazine. Featured photographer at NYC Fashion Week. Serving as a brand ambassador for a renowned camera brand. Engaged in impactful documentary art projects. Capturing the essence of weddings across the United States.

As a seasoned wedding photographer myself, I have had the privilege of working alongside Andris for the past three years. It has not just been a professional collaboration, he is a master in storytelling, artistry, and connecting with everyone he touches. Andris always arrives early for our weddings/events, meticulously setting up and ensuring that all details are perfect before the first click of the shutter. He has a very calm demeanor and is always a beacon of stability, even in the most unpredictable situations. Working with him has always been a joy. But Andris's talent goes far beyond punctuality and professionalism. He has an uncanny ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, transforming any moments into memorable snapshots of the client's special day. His artistic vision is unique, and he uses light (both natural and artificial), composition, and emotion to weave narratives that resonate deeply with our clients. Besides the technical know-how Andris possesses, he has a gift for connecting with people, which is a critical trait to have as a wedding photographer. His infectious smile and genuine warmth melt away any inhibitions, bringing out the smiles and genuine emotions that make videos and photographs truly come alive. He has a way of making everyone feel at ease, even the most camera-shy individuals. In short, working with Andris isn't just about capturing images, it is about capturing the essence of a moment, a feeling, a connection. His videos and photographs are not just visual records, they are portals to emotions, transporting you back to the laughter, the tears, the joy that made the day so special. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Andris to anyone seeking not just a skilled videographer or photographer, but an artist, a collaborator, and a friend. If you're looking for stunning visuals, infectious laughter, and a stress-free experience that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime, look no further.
