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!

Every couple is unique, so I don’t do cookie-cutter wedding packages. Instead, I offer an all-inclusive luxury experience that we’ll customize so that it’s perfect for you.

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 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
My wedding was VERY simple and I did not do a lot of the traditional pictures that come with the big day! Candace made sure to make the pieces of my wedding day true and captured all the important moments for me! She was professional and fun and all my guests loved her! She’s been our family photographer for now 3 years and has never disappointed me! Quick turn around time with AMAZING QUALITY PHOTOS!

Ashley was the photographer for my wedding this April, and I would hire her 1000x over. Ashley was very fun to work with, it felt natural to pose for our photos, and they turned out beautifully. We received our sneak peeks the MORNING AFTER THE WEDDING, which was so fun, I woke up in the morning with my photos. Ashley and Nate (the second shooter) were so accommodating, they drove us to the shooting locations and held my coat for all the photos. Extremely thoughtful people. Finally I’ll say, my photos looked like something from a magazine. I hope you’ll hire her for your wedding, because then you’ll have the best photos to memorialize your wedding!

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
Marilyn is a phenomenal photographer/person in general and you shouldn’t hesitate to book her - I’ve recommended her to basically everyone I know getting married or has even the most distant of plans to get married. She goes above and beyond the basic responsibilities of a photographer and genuinely loves documenting love. I hope to book her for literally anything in the future. She was the very first vendor we booked in our entire wedding planning process and set the bar waaaay too high for everyone else. She was one of the few vendors we reached out to that did an initial Zoom consultation. I think based on rom-coms I had this crazy idea in my head that wedding planning was done through in-person appointments, but I quickly learned most is done through emails and phone calls making it all feel a little impersonal. Our first meeting with Marilyn was amazing and it felt like she was really invested in learning about us as a couple and the type of photography experience/style we were looking for. Her kind and thoughtful personality led us to book her for our engagement shoot and wedding straight away. She definitely can meet you at whatever level of crazy you’re currently running at. For example, for our engagement shoot I had made a whole powerpoint of the types of shots I wanted as well as potential outfits. So detailed that I had test-run a NYC ferry ride and selected backdrops along the way. She insanely obliged to all my requests and the photographs are a beautiful homage to our neighborhood. I did a complete 180 by the wedding and I told Marilyn I trusted her artistic vision completely and had no shot list other than the groupings for formal portraits. The photographs came in while we were on our honeymoon and we were blown away by the gallery. Everything was beautifully photographed, edited, and curated. On the wedding day my husband and I were excited for our first look partially because we got to see each other, but also because it was a hang sesh with Marilyn. She is just a wonderful person who puts you at ease whenever you chat with her. Many guests complimented her work style in which she wasn’t intrusive during the ceremony, but was constantly snapping both candid and posed photos. We didn’t want our wedding to feel merely like a spectacle –we wanted it to be a gathering of all our loved ones, so Marilyn’s candid style was a perfect match for us.

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 is incredible. He is exactly who you want for your wedding (or any event for that matter). He is incredibly responsive, a great communicator, and extremely professional. He is SO quick, knows exactly what he’s doing and what looks good, will help you pose when you feel awkward and has fun energy to help you relax. On our wedding day, he went above and beyond. Our guests LOVED him, he was so fun to be around, and only added to the party. And finally, the photos are breathtaking. They tell an amazing story, the lighting is perfection, and the shots are as creative as they are authentic. He’s amazing and he doesn’t know it but will be photographing the rest of my life’s events :) Your photos are forever, and he is who you want capturing that!

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 is hands down the best photogrpaher I have ever worked with. I knew once I saw her gallery of previous weddings she had shot her esthetic was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. We started with an engagement shoot which turned out magical and I remember getting in the car after with my husband who hates taking pictures and he said wow she really made me feel comfortable during that shoot as if we had all know each other forever. Fast forward to our wedding day her and her team were on time and super professional. When we got our wedding gallery I cried because the photos were so perfect and she was able to capture all of the most important parts for us! I highly recommend booking Rebecca for any event you will not be disappointed :)

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
As someone who's been in the wedding industry for almost a decade, it can be challenging to find other vendors who are aligned with my business mission of inclusion and community, embraces creativity, and is a joy to hang out with. And Justin literally checks every box. He's a leader in the industry- everywhere I look I see him turning up, making space for people, encouraging and lifting them up. He's the real deal, and has the biggest heart. I happily consider Justin as more than just a "friendor," but someone who makes my life (and the world) brighter.

Kristen and her team were incredible to work with for all of our wedding needs. Not only were the pictures incredible, but Kristen really took the time to understand what I was looking for and honed in on the details I cared about. She also helped me develop my entire timeline and was always handy to provide additional wedding recommendations too. Her energy is contagious which is really really helpful to have on your wedding day with all the nerves. My entire bridal party loved hanging out with her & her assistant photographer as well.

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.

We can't recommend Laura highly enough! We did a last-minute engagement shoot and 2 micro weddings in different states during Covid, and we can't imagine doing any of it without her. We were huge fans of Laura's photos on her website, but we were absolutely hooked once we got an e-mail asking us where we wanted to travel post-Covid and if we had any pets joining the wedding. We looked at a lot of photographers, and wanted to work with someone we liked and wanted at our wedding, who would take beautiful, natural photos, and be okay including our pup. That was definitely Laura! On our first call, Laura barely batted an eye when we told her we weren't sure about the venue, didn't know if there would be 2 or 25 people, were flexible on the time, and didn't yet know what we were going to wear. We wanted to keep everything as local as possible, and she gave us a great list of suggestions, including the orchard where we got married and most of the treats we included in our picnic basket. We even had sneak peeks right away to send to our families who couldn't be there. For our second wedding, she drove 6+ hours to NY, helped us set up, and was flexible on timing when we had some surprise rain showers. And managed to take great photos of our guests from 6+ feet away, including staggered group photos so the masks could come off for a minute! We could go on and on about how great she is, but suffice it to say, we loved working with Laura!

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
Wish I could give 6 stars out of 5. Part of my job involves reviewing photography, so my expectations were high and requests were specific. Adam blew me away. He was a ray of sunshine on the day of the wedding, putting everyone at ease and keeping energy up. He got all of the shots we asked for any so many more beautiful shots on pure instinct. He was seamless, efficient, specific, and subtle where needed. And the final result? We've cried looking back at our photos, bowled over by his ability to capture the emotions of the day. Everything from nervousness to glee to nostalgia is palpable in our album. We felt gorgeous, we look gorgeous in the pics, and we've informed our siblings that when they get married, they WILL be hiring Adam. His rates were very fair and his open printing policy is perfect for us. He's a no-brainer!

Wether we’re here in Ohio or deep in the mountains, I’ll follow where your heart leads you. Wedding days can be fleeting no matter how you spend them and you deserve someone who builds slow moments and quick thinking into the timeline. When it's all said and done, your photos will gift you the ability to be right back in those memories and reliving the joys from the day it became the two of you, forever.

Ashley is truly everything you could hope for in your wedding photographer! She is the sweetest human who will go above and beyond to make your pictures (and your day) perfect! She made sure the photos were fun and natural while also getting the ideal lighting and making us all look 100x better than we normally look. She captured all the magical moments throughout the day and made them into timeless photos that we will treasure forever. She is endlessly talented-from making engagement photos in the hail and snow of ohio look like a beautiful day in the park to whipping out her gardening shears when the flower arrangements don’t go as planned and you need an impromptu floral guru. She makes every single detail perfect and stress free and our wedding day truly would not have been the same without her! Of all my wedding day choices and vendors, Ashley was by far the best one. I will be eternally grateful for the beautiful pictures and cannot recommend her enough!!!

I don’t think I will ever find the right words for Carmen, but if you are reading this because you are still in limbo whether you want to book her for your next big event, STOP whatever it is you are doing and book her right NOW (before its too late and you regret it foreva). It took awhile for me to realize that these are not just photos you look at once in your life,but photos that you will forever be looking back to- the photos you will show your grand babies and so forth. Carmen’s attention to detail from the start is on a different level. She really takes the time to get to know each of her clients to help create each of story through her work. My husband and I are very awkward and we are the worst at posing in front of a camera- but Carmen was a natural at making us comfortable and just have fun/ being ourselves, and being in the moment. She really made us look like we were the best that we couldn’t stop posting our photos. I can go on and on about how amazing her work is- but find out for yourself and experience the magic. Carmen and her team are the BEST! In all honestly, The wedding album was the second best thing we got out of our experience with her. The friendship we were able to build is first!

Like most children in the late 90's and early 00's, I grew up with a camera in my hand.

Lindsey not only took wonderful photos she was extremely flexible to help us out! Our wedding was on the mall in DC Nov 2019, and it so happened that the Caps won the Stanley cup and the celebration parade was going to be in DC right in the middle of our photos and ceremony... Lindsey went above and beyond and showed up early to make sure we'd have time for all the photos with traffic etc. We also thought we could hit 2 photo spots per ceremony and we.onyk got one / portrait gallery and she when through there like a boss and got.us amazing photos all around the museum.

During our photo sessions, we felt relaxed and natural, at times not even realizing she was there. Her style was right in line with ours and fit the mountain venue perfectly.

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!! Loved our day and loved our decision to use Shelby!

Hey there! I'm unfortunately no longer utilizing Zola. If you'd like to chat message me on my website! mayebetakeaphoto .com I'm a Colorado + Destination Elopement and Intimate Wedding photographer that loves adventure, bold moments, and colorful scenery. 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!!

Canyon & Pine is a wedding photography and videography service founded by married couple James and Emma. With a background in capturing weddings since 2013, they have developed a seamless synergy that allows them to deliver exceptional results. Their approach is characterized by getting to know the couples they work with, understanding their stories, and translating those narratives into authentic and timeless images and videos. They prioritize creating a comfortable and safe space for all couples, supporting love in all its forms, and ensuring that every wedding day feels uniquely personal and true to the couple's identity.

Emma and James had a beautiful style that my wife and I loved. They captured the little natural moments in addition to getting all of the portraits and big moments of the ceremony. Our gallery was bigger than we expected and accessible online after our wedding day. They were focused on making sure the day went smoothly and letting us enjoy the day with our family and friends without distraction. They hadn't shot a Catholic wedding before and took the time to learn which moments were the most important, and treated the ceremony with reverence. Definitely would recommend to friends, and we already have.

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.

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.

There aren’t enough words to describe what a pleasure it has been working with Abby!! She made the process so simple and stress free for us & we’re so grateful! She offers engagement photos as part of her package which allows the couple and the photographer(s) to get to know each other prior to the wedding day which I find to be so genius!! We had so much fun and felt so at ease during our engagement session and on our wedding day, it felt as if we were hanging out with friends. We’re so glad to have worked with Abby for our wedding and can’t wait for her to be a part of future milestones! Thank you again, Abby!! So much love to you.

Lucia is the most genuine and talented photographer - if you have any doubts, let them go! You won’t be disappointed by working with her :) Lucia captured our wedding back in July 2022 and the photo quality, the shots, and entire process was JUST what we wanted. From the initial consultation, I knew working with her would be a great fit because she was professional, passionate about her work, collaborative with ideas and also provided direction when I was unsure. The day of, we didn’t have to worry about anything because she worked with our wedding planner to ensure the shots we wanted got done, and taking the photos with her felt so natural! From giggly and candid to artistic and dramatic couple shots, Lucia captured a wide array of poses of us that are absolutely timeless. While there was a technical issue with some of the photos, Lucia handled the situation with grace and sincere apologies. We were lucky to get a discount and a complimentary session with her to make up for the loss of photos - and honestly it couldn’t have worked out more perfectly… the following year she came out to our town and took our maternity shoot 3 All of the photos she’s taken of us have captured the love my husband and I share, and it’s such a wonderful keepsake to have for the rest of our lives. It’s wild to think that our relationship with Lucia started with just shooting our wedding, to our maternity sessions, and soon-to-be baby session. She’s truly captured our love story and each major milestone, and now we’ve gained a friend in the process :) We can’t thank her enough for everything and the time and effort she puts into producing stunning galleries for her clients is well worth it. We can’t recommend her enough!

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. 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.

I have to say that Jennifer and her assistant will forever be our Wedding Day Heroes. They arrived on time, they were professional from start to finish, and so kind to me and my family. I'm pretty sure they overheard my wedding day meltdown (I hope not) but they kept on pushing and made the whole day feel special. We didn't have a wedding party and I totally forgot about bustling my gown so Jennifer and her assistant got down on their hands and knees in the blistering heat in the Garden of my ceremony site and bustled my 15 button bustle. #weddinddayheros! At the reception they sat amongst our friends and family and fit right in. It was awesome. Their presence was so seamless, they are so genuine. If you feel like you might need a wedding day hero Jennifer and Captured Couture is definitely the way to go. She was able to provide us with a site with specific pictures of our choosing to share with out guest via a secure link. Our pictures came out beautifully. The album and metal prints we also gorgeous. Great quality. ENGAGEMENT SESSION/INITIAL MEETING REVIEW Jennifer is amazing. My partner and I discovered Captured Couture by looking for photographers who had done wedding at our venue (The Whitney-Detroit) and we couldn't be more excited to have Jennifer capture our wedding day. Jennifer is the best and I can't stress that enough. WE are having a small/intimate wedding and she came prepared with different packages to offer us based on what we asked for and our budget. We saw some of her work at our first meeting and her work was really good-a lot better than other work we'd seen from other photographers. My fiance, who is usually a hard sell, was sold on having Jennifer as our wedding photographer and so was I. During the next few months we worked with Jennifer to schedule our engagement session. We are very busy, and the weather was not working with us but luckily Jennifer was very accommodating. Our engagement shoot went off without a hitch. My partner and I are kind of camera shy but Jennifer made us feel like naturals and our pictures came out great. Before we left the shoot she showed us one of the pictures and we were in amazed at how incredible the picture looked. Jennifer is the BOMB.COM

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza was amazing to work with from start to finish. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and so talented. We had multiple phone conversations to go over details prior- stuff I hadn’t even thought of that she knew from her experience that made me feel at ease and then on the bus day, helped make it run so smoothly. Everyone at our wedding was talking about how great she was and now that we have our pictures as well - everyone can’t stop talking about how amazing they are! And they are! She made me and my husband feel and look like models and captured timeless, priceless moments. Our pictures will be treasured forever. I’m so grateful to have found her and to have had her there with us on our big day. You will not regrets booking with Liza!!
