Danielle Rouillard Photography
Santa Monica, CA
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Watsonville, CA

The best way that I can describe myself is that I am a "dog person" when I'm out and a "cat person" behind the scenes. As a digital and film photographer, I'm very interested in unique and varied light scenarios that incorporate unique backdrops and angles. I have been working as a professional photographer for over 5 years and there is not a day where I don't find myself learning something new about it, and that to me is part of the joy. I strive for imagery that makes your eyes linger, incorporating equal parts creative beauty and technical skill. My images have been featured by GQ Magazine, David's Bridal, AirBNB, Chubbies, and more.

Alexandrina Owens Photography
Petaluma, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Watsonville, CA

My biggest passions are aesthetics and human connection...so weddings are naturally my favorite thing to photograph. After hundreds of weddings, I still find myself tearing up (or maybe a little more than tearing up) at almost every wedding I photograph. People describe me as being sweet and my work as having a delicate, elegant, feminine, and refined quality to it. I believe in authentic romance and real love. My favorite weddings are outdoors, featuring sweeping coastal backdrops, soaring redwoods, rolling hills, or gorgeous vineyards mixed with tastefully stylish decor - and always with a lot of love.

Nikkels Photography

If you enjoy going wine tasting with friends, consider a charcuterie board an acceptable form of dinner, chocolate is it’s own food group, going on an adventure can be exploring a new country or staying in and watching your favorite show together, and finding your best friend is the best thing ever, then we are meant to be friends!! Andrew and I are so blessed to call San Luis Obispo home. We were introduced by a mutual friend in 2011 and the rest is history. We love the small-town feel with the convenience of shops and restaurants within a 15 minute drive.

Diane Bagaoisan Photography
Santa Rosa, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,725
  • Serves Watsonville, CA

Right after graduating from CSU Sacramento in 2012 (with a BA in Photography, might I add!), I did photography as a side-hustle while working a couple of various jobs: part-time as a Summer camp counselor and full-time at a medical device company. After getting married in 2016, I moved to Modesto with my husband since he was working there at the time. Because of the move, I had to leave my jobs in the East Bay. I took this move to the Central Valley as a sign that I should do photography full-time. So, since 2017, I've been a full-time wedding photographer. We are now in beautiful Sonoma County!

First off, my team and I are flames. We bring the heat. The fire. The fun! I’m like a mix between a professional and a early Kanye. I know when to be serious, but I also know when to start singing Whitney Houston’s, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” (I can even hit them high notes). From the moment you inquire, to the day I send you your goods, i’ll be over using the exclamation point! Some say that’s overly enthusiastic, but life is so much better this way. I hope that this energy will make you two feel comfortable, and at ease on one of the best days of your life. So, let’s get to talkin!

There's an old Italian proverb which says: "A woman born beautiful is born betrothed." I say all brides are beautiful and that's why I think I fall in love a little bit with each of my brides. It's hard not to. I love women. When they are in their wedding day "mode" they're irresistible. Glowing and smiling and pouring out such wonderful energy I'd almost shoot wedding photography for free just to ride the endorphins. Almost. And yeah, some of the grooms are pretty cute too ;) Same sex weddings, Gay Weddings? Lesbian Weddings? Same deal, same love, same great wedding photography.

Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. We’ve always sought to remember things exactly how they happened - how we felt. This is how authentic photography captivates us. The goal is to photograph your day as it unfolds naturally. Take a few moments to go through some words from past clients describing their experience with us. You’ll also find us on Google.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was a lucky day for us when I found Josh online! I was so impressed with his portfolio & previous reviews, & I knew right away after speaking with him that it was a perfect match. He understood my vision for the day -- lots of pictures, of course, but not too posed & lots of candid photos of wedding party guests. I was so incredibly happy with our wedding photos. They are absolutely beautiful & I will cherish them forever. Our engagement photos also came out beautifully -- he got an absolutely beautiful shot of us with our dog that I was then requested to send to everyone in our family to be framed, & to share with our dog's veterinarian. In addition to taking amazing photos, Josh is so lovely to work with & be around -- he is very responsive, kind, professional, & it was a pleasure to spend time with him on the day of our wedding, which was really important to me because you spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day. My maid of honor said that Josh was her favorite part of the wedding -- I am not kidding! We are so happy with him & I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, or photographer in general!

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I would hands down recommend Candace any day! She’s so professional but also kind, personable, and fun. She’s great at communicating and making sure info is sent out before the day of. She responds quickly and was always willing to answer questions. Usually you find someone who is one or the other-great work but lack of communication or not personable. Or very personable and fun but work and communication etc is so so. Not with Candace, she’s the whole package and worth every penny! She just has an eye for it and a way to make pictures look so natural and not super cheesy posed which was important to me. I plan to use her again in the future!

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Awarded Best of Zola
My spouse and I can’t say enough good things about Marilyn. We are both a little camera shy, but Marilyn helped us feel so comfortable and we got incredible shots!

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin captured my husband and I's special day so beautifully. He made taking the photos so much fun, so we were super comfortable with him and that showed through the photographs. We had a very specific aesthetic we were aiming for and he absolutely nailed it. Justin is also so professional, he sent us a sneak peek of our photos ONE day after our event, and sent us the full shots less than a week after!!! We are so thankful we went with Justin to capture our day, and will be booking Justin for any of our photography needs - definitely recommend to anyone that needs a photographer for wedding/engagement/elopement pictures/ any special events.

I'm a digital & film photographer living in NYC capturing weddings, couples, and life around me. I have a genuine love for creating images you'll look back on that'll always give you butterflies! I approach photography intentionally, and am emotionally driven behind the camera. I’m all about those in-between candids and documenting in the moment, as well as artful posing. I love making genuine connections with people, and the natural friendships that can come from working together! Approaching your wedding photography as an art form is just a small part of why I absolutely love what I do.

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin. TL/DR: Hire Justin. If you are looking for a person who is as responsible as he is fun, whose pictures are an absurdly brilliant mix of editorial, candid, and artistic; who manages to capture the most joyful moments in the most moving ways, look no further. Photography was important to me; as a bride who had many friends go down the aisle before me, I tried to heed their advice: the photographer is perhaps the most important investment you can make. When I saw Justin's pictures, one word came to mind: "joy."  There was a vibrancy and humanity to his work that made me tear up just looking at his website.  This, combined with the very obvious technical skill he possessed, made me thrilled that he was still available on our wedding date.  Our initial phone call set the tone for the whole process: fun and incredibly thorough and organized.  Indeed, throughout the whole process, Justin was our go to for any questions we had; as the photographer, it made sense for him to keep an eye on logistics, but we were unprepared for how above and beyond Justin would go to make sure our day ran smoothly, from the planning process to execution. Don't let his insanely fun personality fool you: at our wedding he was heads and tails the most professional person there, ready with his shot list, keeping things moving; and yet somehow managed to keep the mood light, fun, and a little bit raunchy. Indeed, a good word for Justin is "prepared."  We had a survey to fill out before our big day, to let him know just what elements were most important to us. When I saw the photos, I couldn't believe how closely he had followed this. The sheer artistry on display, and the range of shots, it didn't seem like just one person could be responsible. The variety and quality was incredible.  And that was a direct result of our having asked for that; that is the wonderful thing about Justin, he cares deeply about his clients and pays attention to them; despite his talent there is no ego involved. He also seems to care deeply about his clients' family...and their friends...and all the wedding guests; everyone commented on how friendly and professional and fun he was. I could go on, likely, forever, but a final note: for my husband and I, the most important thing was capturing the people who came that day to celebrate with us; that was what we wanted to remember most.  We told this to Justin, and when I got the pictures back, I was blown away-- his ability to capture the essence of our family and friends, the way he captured distinct mannerisms, gestures...it was uncanny. That requires training, and artistry; but also kindness, empathy and depth.  Justin has all of those in spades.  It was important for my husband and I to hire someone we wanted to spend the day with; we didn't want him to leave! In post-production, Justin has been just as generous with his time and wrapping up any loose ends.  He stays in touch and makes sure you are thrilled with the final product. It was a pleasure to get to know him and we hope we are cool enough for him to be a part of our lives forever!

I'm known for my use of natural light, and "unposed” stress-free approach when it comes to my clients. If you feel like you’re awkward in front of the camera, I’ll take that as a challenge to prove you wrong because I can be awkward too.

Arie was a joy to work with from beginning to end! She was a great communicator from our initial conversation through the delivery of our photos. She helped determine our timeline and kept us on track throughout our wedding day. Arie is truly an artist! We felt completely comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. She gave us just the right amount of guidance in posing to get incredible shots that still look natural. She really captured the essence of the day — love and laughter, and you can feel it oozing from the photos. Our family and friends keep raving about the day and we love to get to relive it again through these amazing images.

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

Laura was the best decision we made after deciding to marry each other. It was important to us to find a photographer we felt comfortable with and could laugh with, and Laura is that person! From the start at the complementary engagement shoot we were fully at ease, having a good time and getting great shots. She’s easy going, organized, and excellent at what she does. We love all of our pictures, and some of our absolute favorites are the “in-between” moments when we were unaware she was taking photos. At the end of the day, we realized we had no idea where Laura was half the time - she blended in with the guests so seamlessly. But we trusted she was getting the shots, and she did! She also went above and beyond and had a surprise for us during the reception which was extremely thoughtful and amazed our guests.

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
Hiring Adam was far and away the best decision we made. He was always available in the months leading up to our wedding to answer questions, he showed up early on our wedding day to introduce himself to my parents and bridesmaids before he even started working, and throughout the day all of my guests kept coming up to say how much fun he was to be around. And on top of a memorable wedding day, he somehow got us previews the VERY next day as we were leaving for the airport and we spent the whole flight tearing up at all the beautiful moments he caught when we weren't even looking. I can't thank you enough Adam for making us feel so special on our day!

I'm Emily - a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer set on capturing intimate, joyful, authentic, & emotional photos. I want you to look back on your wedding photos not just love the way they look, but I want you to remember what the moment felt like. My hope is for you to feel the way your loved one hugged you as they gave you away, to laugh as you look back at the best man giving his speech...every captured moment has a feeling. I will do my best to stop those moments in time for you to experience forever. I am witty, goofy, sarcastic, open-minded, & honest. I will be your ultimate third wheel.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin. How do you write something as simple as an online review for someone who memorialized your wedding day in pure, authentic, gallery-worthy art? Can I give her ten stars? A hundred stars? It wouldn't be enough. We chose Emily as our photographer based on a few internet searches and vibes, and the vibes were so right. We went with the Topaz Package, so we initially met Emily for our engagement session. She immediately made us feel so relaxed, calm, and (best of all) photogenic. My husband and I were the type that never photographed well, but Emily made it happen. We went to several locations downtown Pittsburgh, and we never felt rushed or awkward for asking for certain poses or sharing ideas. I was so nervous to receive the images from the engagement shoot, but when I did, my jaw was on the floor. With our package, we also added on night-before coverage and a second shooter, which I HIGHLY recommend. Emily and David went above, beyond, and to infinity with the care and attention they gave us on our wedding weekend. Emily and I FaceTimed a few weeks out from the wedding to go through details and timeline and the picture list. Emily and David truly listened to everything that we wanted, and they made it happen. We were married in Heinz Chapel and had our reception at the Carnegie Museum of Art, and our focus was documentary-style, artistic photos. Let me tell you -- they DELIVERED. We cannot stop looking at our gallery. I've tried to pick 5 photos to get printed, but I cannot narrow it down past 164. On the personal side of things, Emily was so so supportive of every choice we made at our wedding. There was no judgment, no persuasion, she was 100% our hype girl the whole weekend (which as an anxious bride I appreciated so much). Emily brought the fun, the vibes, the party, but also she kept us on schedule when I got distracted and she ensured that we did get all of our requested photos. Her and David were essential in orchestrating our first look (which occurred at an open and quite busy art museum). Emily also kept me very calm when we were running late to said first look (and even helped buckle me into my garter belt -- a true queen). Our literal only regret is not having them there longer. I couldn't recommend Emily enough for ANY photoshoot you need; and my advice: do the big package. Do the engagement session, and the boudoir session, and the night before session, and any other chance you get to have Emily photograph you, because you won't regret it. I can't wait for our 1 year anniversary when we get to drag her back to the art museum with us.

She ran around looking for items or products I needed, all while capturing precious moments. I am forever grateful for her help on such an emotional day. As a photographer, she worked with the lighting in ways I would have never known were possible. We got married on a boat, and she worked with the captain to ensure that the boat was in the proper position in the ocean for best lighting . Truly amazing.

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

Awarded Best of Zola
Loren Hansen.... Oh my gosh... Where to even start?! This beautiful lady is seriously THE. BEST. EVER!!! Our important day literally would not have been possible without her. We hired her for our engagement photos first, which were beyond stunning. Then lucked out and were able to snag her again for our wedding. She started the day bright and early at my Air BNB - naturally I was incredibly anxious getting ready for such an important day, and I cannot express enough how COMFORTABLE she made me feel. She is sooo easy going, and it never felt like a stuffy photo shoot. She was just casually taking beautiful & professional photos without disrupting us at all. Then she drove to the venue and snagged pics of the venue, vendors setting up, my husband-to-be getting ready with his parents, etc. Then of course the ceremony, friends & family, the couple, then the party. I mean, she was with us for 10 hours. She works her bootie off and it SHOWS. We had 80 guests at our wedding and she managed to get a photo of every single person. Perfect combination of staged & in the moment shots. If you don't hire Loren you are making a HUGE mistake. I would seriously consider her one of my friends at this point. She made such an impact and is just such an amazing human being. 20 OUT OF 5 STARS!! LOVE YOU LOREN!!

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's style of photography is immediately recognizable; soothing tones with an eye that designs a photo straight out of a movie scene. I have been so fortunate to work with her and see her in action. Her presence is one of decisive and calming energy. I have been amazed again and again at how she innovates in the moment, creating something that was hum drum into a magical or enlightening method or way of doing something. I can't recommend her enough for your wedding day and all special moments 3

Kendra is so unbelievably talented, and was also such a dream to be around. She was somehow right where we wanted her to be while also keeping out of site. She danced with us, and engaged with the party in a truly incredible way. Our photos came out PERFECT. My husband and I are a bit shy in front of the camera (and so are our families) and she took such good care of us and got really beautiful natural shots. I don’t have enough good things to say about Kendra. It can be rare to find someone so talented who is also such a joy and pleasure to be around. I have already recommended her to my own sister and friends that are getting married as well! Highly highly recommend!!

We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

Jennifer and the rest of the Captured Couture team were nothing short of amazing! From our first conversation all the way to our wedding day, Jennifer was attentive, punctual, and very professional. She always responded very quickly whenever I had any questions. She was very calming and you could tell she knew exactly what she was doing. When our wedding day came, she was calm and collected, which made me feel very calm and collected. We received all of our photos a month after our wedding which I feel is a VERY fast turn around time! She truly was amazing and I can't thank her enough.
