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.

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.

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

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.

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
Hiring Josh Fernandez as our engagement and wedding photographer was undoubtedly the best decision we have ever made. Our travel to Josh Fernandez was well timed. Over the course of the epidemic, rescheduling our wedding and praying that he would still be our photographer, the stars aligned to create this lovely friendship. He makes the process straightforward and goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort by assisting other vendors. Josh is a rockstar, a man of the people, and a humble gentleman who will execute his amazing vision for your event with humility and respect. Every conceivable accommodation you can imagine, he has your back. His photographs - Exquisite, cerebral, explosive. He continues to push the limits of his skill and catches abstract philosophical notions that evoke emotion and make you rethink your identity. This summer, we are seeking our third photoshoot with him, and we aim to recommend him to all of our connections.

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 booked Candace last year in 2022 for my engagement shoot after my then boyfriend proposed. I don’t recall how I found her but I did have an acquaintance who got photos taken by her so my best guess is that’s how I stumbled upon her. I ended up taking a leap of faith because most of her work was photos in front of natural scenery. Think red rocks of Sedona, pretty fields, typical Arizona photography backgrounds. We wanted a city photoshoot for our background and I knew I had to put faith in her work and her vision. Best. Decision. Ever. Our photos of course came out amazing but the true magic was her behind the camera! She made us feel so comfortable, safe and heard. She gave us a lot of direction in terms of poses which I feel is SUPER important and vital for amazing shots. We left that shoot and talked about how amazing we all got along and how friendly/awesome she was. Not only was she amazing in person but she was so professional when it came to communicating both pre-shoot and post-shoot. Immediately after that I knew we had to book her for our elopement. Oh and did I mention the photos came out SO BEAUTIFUL?! Anyway…fast forward to a few weeks ago (a year since our previous shoot). We had our elopement! I can’t express how much we enjoyed working with her this second time. Even though we’ve only met twice she feels like a good friend who not only is there to photograph you, but to hype you up as well. Truly she did not feel like a vendor there to perform services, it felt like I was inviting someone who was excited to be there and witness us get married (and of course document it!). She was SO amazing that after our wedding the very few family members who were up there with us could not stop taking about how much they loved her and wanted to book with her in the future! She is timely, communicates amazingly, talented, sweet/kind, passionate, and by far my future photographer for ANY event. We don’t have or want kids but are already talking about getting a shoot done with our fur babies. She deserves all the clients in the world. I wouldn’t say that about any random photographer. And I’m not just saying this because of how awesome her personality is. Her work speaks for itself! I myself used to do photography and am always amazed at what she creates. Not only is her work phenomenal but her pricing was fair and she delivered the photos so quickly! I even asked if she could edit a few early so I could work on physical announcements. She edited 8 for me and they were soooo good that I couldn’t wait so I posted them on my socials. Seriously if this hasn’t convinced you to book with her I don’t know what will! She is by far the best of the best. She knows what she is doing and an expert in her craft. By far everything we were looking for and much more! We love Candace (clearly!) and were so happy to have her at our wedding. She will 100% be seeing us for future shoots

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
Working with Marilyn was amazing and I will definitely be recommending her to our friends! From our first initial consultation my fiance and I were so comfortable with Marilyn and knew immediately that her warmth and kindness would make her the perfect person to include in our wedding.

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
If I could give Justin more than 5 stars, I honestly would. It took me a long time of going through photographers' portfolios (I looked at 20, at least) before I stumbled across his work, but man oh man am I glad that I did. For me, photography was one of the most important elements of my wedding, and Justin's mastery of natural light and shadow is frankly unparalleled. A lot of photographers can frame a shot, but in the increasing trend of "matte" shots, Justin gives his photos LIFE -- something that's incredibly difficult to do. We used Justin for our engagement shoot a month before our wedding, and hired him for the full day of our wedding; he was by far one of the best vendors we worked with. A consummate professional, he readily responds to email (including numerous questions about what location works best for an engagement shoot "in a field" and whether or not we should bring in a second shooter to capture my husband's reaction at me walking down the aisle), puts his clients at ease (literally every person at our wedding commented how much they loved him), and is just an all-around brilliant artist. On our wedding day, Justin was cool, calm, and collected - even when a park ranger was shooing us away from the site we were taking photos at. His editing of all of the photos he took that day was simply fantastic, and while I wish we had a little bit better luck with the sunset on the final shoot with my husband, he managed to get some great shots! Plus, he's an amazing dancer and will absolutely get your guests to take some awesome dancing shots :) Hire Justin, trust me. You won't regret it! We will be using him for all of the milestones we can!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rebecca at Four Doves is absolute magic. We do not have enough words to adequately describe how incredible she was at capturing our day. First of all, she's such a sweet, genuine person. We live in CA and were getting married in NYC, so we didn't get to meet her until our wedding day. However, it felt like we had known her for years the first time we spoke with her. Rebecca and her assistant (who was equally as amazing) felt like old friends. The best part - I literally had to do a double take when I saw the photos from the wedding. I couldn't believe we looked THAT GOOD. Her expertise, professionalism, and creative eye are mind blowing. She took the most amazing, emotional photos and caught all the big stuff and the tiniest details. Obviously we couldn't be with all of our guests at the same time throughout the night, but she captured all those in-between moments in such a way it felt like we were apart of it all. Hiring Four Doves for our wedding was easily the best money we spent. We now consider her a friend and feel so lucky to have such stunning photos of our special day. All of our friends agree that she is the best wedding photographer they have ever seen! THANK YOU REBECCA!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH

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.

Justin was the first vendor we booked after choosing our venue, and we could not have made a better choice for our wedding. From our initial consultation meeting (over drinks at a low key bar) I knew that Justin was the photographer we needed. My husband and I both instantly felt comfortable with him which was incredibly important to us as people who are not particularly excited about having our pictures taken. Justin worked hard to ensure he knew our vision for the day, asked about any insecurities we had about being photographed, and made sure to find out how he could help us feel calm the day of. I had NO idea how important that last part would be until the day of when I was suddenly feeling like an ultra-stressed bridezilla. Every time I panicked about timing or something potentially going wrong Justin was a calm voice of reason, ensuring me everything was on track and working with our families to make sure everyone was where they needed to be. Whenever anyone asks what the best part of the wedding was, we tell them it was the 30 minutes we spent walking around our venue neighborhood with Justin. It was the calmest and happiest we felt all day. In addition to being a phenomanal person to work with, Justin’s work product is truly amazing. I don’t think of myself as particularly photogenic, but Justin made me feel like a model in our engagement and wedding photos. I don’t know how he did it, but he captured the exact vibe of our relationship and your wedding. Our families can’t stop sharing the photos, and I am always waiting for another excuse to share one. If you want a professional, hilarious, insanely talented photographer for your event you cannot go wrong with Justin.

One of the best wedding decisions we made was booking Arie's photography services. Arie's energy, professionalism, and eye for detail are truly unmatched! Staying in constant communication with us from the day we booked, the regular check-ins were extremely helpful and reassuring in the chaos of wedding planning. By the time we met in person it felt like we had known Arie for years. On our wedding day she brought a calm and upbeat energy which made her a joy to have in the bridal and groom suites while we prepped for the ceremony. During our very lively reception Arie seemed to be everywhere at once, capturing every detail we asked for and so many more. The way Arie seamlessly moved throughout the events prompted our guests to ask if she worked for the venue! She came extremely prepared, was extremely professional, and it showed. Arie is truly an artist who not only took and produced beautiful photos, but managed to capture our vibe. We are so grateful to have found Arie and will DEFINITELY be booking services for our future events!

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.

I used Laura for our June 2021 wedding, not only did she stick with us through two postponed weddings due to COVID but she was an absolutely joy throughout. She is positive, a GREAT listener, and takes the time to get to know your entire group of family and friends. She is really open to how many pictures you want, we are not a big "picture" couple and told her that overly styled and corny photos were to be avoided, she totally listened and captured so many amazing candid photos which is much more our style. After the wedding everyone was commenting on how lovely she was, cannot recommend enough!

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
Searching for vendors for a wedding can feel a lot like a dating, a process which thankfully my husband and I don’t have to go through anymore. Occasionally you’re lucky enough to find someone you have an instant connection to, and that was true with Adam. We loved his photography from the moment we both saw it on his Instagram page. During our first Zoom call, he was attentive, asked good follow up questions, and truly understood what we wanted from him. From hiring to the day off, he was always available for any questions we might’ve had. When we got to meet him face to face, he was very professional but charming and warm, not only being expert with a camera but expert on the dance floor. Having now received all of his shots after getting a sneak peek an astounding two days after the wedding, we can say we made the right decision. Adam is an artist, through and through, and we couldn't have gotten more lucky in finding him.

Mia is the absolute best! From our engagement session to our wedding day, she was so friendly, easy to work with, and just genuinely sweet. It felt like I already knew her the minute I met her. She gave us the perfect amount of direction and at the same time, just did her thing and wasn’t a distraction at all. She gave us our pictures back in a timely manner, and the wedding album we received is absolutely gorgeous! I met with quite a few other photographers when deciding who to book for our wedding, and no other photographer offered such a perfect Collection either. Ours included an entire day of coverage, tons of pictures, and the wedding album. We can’t thank Mia enough for capturing our day so perfectly and for helping everything go as smoothly as possible. We feel so lucky to have these pictures for years to come. Thank you so much, Mia! And to all of the future brides out there, book her now!

The photos turned out even more amazing then I thought. Thalia also helped with my timeline I didn’t have a wedding planner and she reviewed it and made suggestions. Was always so helpful on answering questions and worked effortlessly with our videographer you would of thought they were a team. On the night of the wedding Thalia made sure to keep us on track with our timeline reminding us of what we should be at. I can’t recommend enough. Really lucky to have found Thalia.

Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had to change photographers due to changing venues, and like a beacon of light or a divine intervention from God- I was referred to Sarah by another photographer. From our first zoom meeting I knew she was the one (it took me faster to realize she was the one than it took me to realize my husband was the one!). She was just so knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She had such a burst of energy and enthusiasm which was very needed, because the time we were going through was so stressful. Fast forward to the wedding day, we were running behind because other vendors were super late. I was even more stressed and there were too many details to remember. Sarah was extremely patient and kind. She made me feel beautiful and grounded. She kept praising me and guiding me through pictures. I got sneak peeks in less than a week and I almost fainted at the beauty of them! I couldn’t believe they were my pictures. If the sneak peeks were that beautiful, I cannot WAIT to see the rest! Sarah please don’t stop doing what you do. You truly have a gift. You listened to what I wanted, you hyped us up, you ignored my bridezilla moments and you worked soooo hard to capture our beautiful day. If we need an NYC photoshoot, you’ll be the first one to call! We love you 3

My work is photojournalistic — I approach weddings through a documentary lens, telling the truth with beautiful and timeless imagery.

Awarded Best of Zola
For our wedding experience, my husband and I were looking for a photographer that specialized in candids— someone who was focused on capturing natural moments versus the formal, posed ones. Gabbie delivered. She photographed our at-home engagement session, our typhoon-ridden wedding day, and threw in a post-wedding session for free due to circumstances out of our control on the wedding day. Our venue was not prepared for the day to be rained out, so there was minor chaos that I learned of after the fact. Gabbie and her second shooter never let on to any mishaps or miscommunications on the venue’s behalf and fought through the absolute freezing rain with us all day. We deeply cherish all of the photos she took… from us dancing together in the kitchen of our first home, to us bundled up under an umbrella, kissing in the rain after the ceremony, to priceless images of our friends and family breaking it down on the dance floor at the reception, and to the bridal portraits she took of us months after the wedding when she wasn’t satisfied with what we were able to get on the actual wedding day. We have nothing but great things to say about Gabbie and would highly recommend!

We used Lindsey for our engagement and wedding photos and absolutely loved her! She was so communicative and flexible! One of the spots that we wanted to shoot at wouldn’t allow us to, so she was able to think on her feet and found us a couple of other locations that turned out great! The same thing happened for our first look - there was too much fog at the first location, so she was able to figure out an alternative on a really short timeline! Our pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL and I’d love to use her again for future photography needs!

My energy tends to be pretty calming, which can help people look and feel more natural in their photos and on video. I enjoy artistic collaboration and I love hearing your ideas and seeing your Pinterest inspiration boards!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Katy was so rewarding! I highly recommend booking her for any occasion or portrait session. Her confidence and creativity was reassuring and the variety of equipment she uses impressive in delivering a range of beautiful photos. My fiancé and I booked our engagement shoot with her and honestly did not expect to love our pictures as much as we do. This was our first professional shoot and Katy helped us to feel at ease, she utilized ques to direct us into postures and poses that look absolutely amazing! Despite freezing temperatures, she was able to capture our moment flawlessly. We are so happy and satisfied!!

Where to start with Shelby! From the moment my fiance and I first met with Shelby, we knew she was our photographer. Shelby made us feel so comfortable from our first convo and that completely transferred to when we were front and center. We felt like we had one of our best friends behind the camera and our photos show that! The day was full of joy and Shelby captured it with seeming ease. Another plus, Shelby is not afraid to take charge of the room when things need to get done but still is kind and always made us feel totally on track!!

I'm all about love & adventure, no matter what that looks like for you. I’d be thrilled to go the extra mile (literally or figuratively) to capture your moments, big and small. I promise to treat your memories as if they were my own.

I found Sam when we decided to take some last minute engagement photos while visiting Colorado over the holidays. She was willing to squeeze us in her already booming schedule and did not disappoint! Sam brought my hometown engagement vision to life while also being so easy and fun to work with. We had a blast and it is reflective in the photos. We loved her and her photos so much, we also asked Sam to take our wedding photos as well! She was an absolute fairy godmother on my wedding day, stepping in where other vendors lacked. I really don't know what my day would have been like without her support as a vendor. The wedding was a blur, but Sam captured every bit of it perfectly and we love reliving everything through her photos. We joked that she will be stuck with us as customers for life, when it's really not a joke. Her photos are so amazing and we can't imagine ever working with anyone else!!

Welcome.

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.

Loren is incredible at what she does! From our proposal, to our special day, to our maternity shoot….she was able to capture the most special moments for our family in the most beautiful way. Her attentiveness to detail, down to earth personality, and warm energy are unmatched. She has this unique ability to make the awkward posed photos light and fun and her use of angles and lighting to create special candid photos is just simply amazing! We cannot thank her enough for the stunning photos that we get to cherish for years to come. There’s no question about it, we would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality photographer! We have had a blast working with her and can’t wait for our next photo shoot!

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 is such an incredible photographer and human to work with! She is positive, communicative, and I love her energy. I worked with her on a wedding I was coordinating and appreciated her check ins, questions, open communication, and desire to support me and honor the couple and their vision. I highly recommend working with her - the day will go smoothly and you will have hundreds of beautiful photos of the memories!

These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé and I loved working with Lucia! She did an engagement photo session with us, and the whole experience was fantastic from beginning to end. She set up a video call to get to know us, get a sense for who we were and what we were looking for, and then was super helpful and communicative when picking a location for the shoot. She was able to share sites she had used before with photos from those locations, and she shared input from other photographers on locations we thought of that she hadn't used before. When we started looking for a photographer we were apprehensive about the whole thing because we're both by nature pretty awkward in front of a camera, but she made us super comfortable and you can tell how relaxed we were when looking at the photos. We genuinely had family members say "now that's what I think of when I picture you two" when they saw our photos. She even asked for some of our favorite music and had it playing when we started, which was super thoughtful! For the shoot itself, she gave us plenty of direction but was also really collaborative and open to any of our ideas for poses or shots or areas of the location to use. We were worried on the way to the shoot because it was rainy when we first showed up at the park, but right away she had ideas for how to still find usable areas and took some great shots, and even had some clear umbrellas that made for a cute look. When the rain let up, we were able to get some wide shots that really took advantage of the location and she did a fantastic job of editing out the groups of oblivious sightseers that walked into frame. The photos definitely capture us as a couple and showcased the location we chose. After the session we got our preview gallery back in record time. She told us she was going out of town on a family trip a few days after our shoot but she'd get our preview turned around before she left so that we didn't have to wait, and she totally delivered (and probably 3x the amount she promised, so she even overdelivered). We got the full gallery back exactly when she said, and they all look amazing; we loved the experience and the photos we get to share with family and friends.
