My name is Edwin and welcome to visit my page. I am a wedding photographer in Los Angeles. I also photograph other projects such as fashion photography, family photos, and real estate photography. I have experience shooting a variety of different type of wedding theme and style. I am based in Southern California, but I do travel to shoot for clients and other projects. I love natural light and spontaneity creates images that transcend time and capture the true essence of each moment. I can travel to regions like Ventura County, Temecula, Central and Northern California.

Edwin from Cherishmyshots Photography captured all the special moments from my wedding. He is professional, courteous, and friendly. I communicated with him via text and email and always received quick responses. On the day of the wedding, he arrived to the first location early and provided tips to me and my family members on how to pose for photos. At the second location, the reception, Edwin did a fantastic job of capturing the joy of the evening. I was amazed by the turnaround time and received high quality photos within several days of my wedding. I am grateful for these memories to cherish forever. Thank you, Edwin! I highly recommend Cherishmyshots photography for any weddings or special occasions!

He went out of his way to chat with us before we had the chance to meet in person (we were traveling from out of country), and met with us at our ceremony site the day before to really make sure he captured our vision. The photos turned out great, and Dean really made us feel listened to and supported. Can't recommend him enough!

Hiring Vlad & Aida was the BEST decision we could have made! We had a wonderful experience working with them for both our engagement and wedding photos. From the very beginning, we both felt very comfortable with them and had so much fun shooting. Vlad and Aida provided us with a detailed timeline of shots to take on the wedding day where to be and how long it would take.

  • Starts at $1,900

Pawel and I have know each other for more years than either one of us care to admit. We met the old fashion way, in a bar and have been married for 10 amazing years. In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have known Jenn and Pawel for approximately 10 years and recommend them to all of my brides and other clients. I am a floral designer in the wedding industry and you just do not see the kind of dedication and creativity every day that you that you get with Jenn and Pawel. They are, without fail, very professional, always on time, and set their wedding couple's minds and hearts at ease. Their couples love them, fellow vendors love them, the venues love them...you just cannot go wrong hiring these two creative souls!

Wild Irish Rose Photography
Highland, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600

I run on shenanigans, sassiness, and an obscene amount of coffee. And I grew up in the mountains so that makes me a wildflower at heart and a mountain girl through and through. When we meet be prepared for me to crack jokes, laugh loudly, gesture wildly, and run full sprint towards something I think is pretty (while trying not to die). I believe in embracing life with a whole lot of weirdness, far too much smart-aleck humor, and every single ounce of fierce passion, obsessive gratitude, profound inspiration, and reckless joy that I can forcefully wring out of this adventure called life. So that's me.

I’m Mysi (pronounced, boringly, “Missy”)! I’ve been at this thing for 12 years and I keep falling more and more in love with it all. Give me intimate micro-weddings, quirky dive bar weddings, raucous South Asian weddings... my team and I absolutely thrive in chaos and emotion. My specialty is catching the moments and those tiny moments in between. ✨✨✨

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the most important parts of any special event (from weddings to fundraisers) is making sure you capture the spirit of the event. Mysi has photographed our annual Story Soirée multiple times and every time her photos have left me grinning from ear to ear. They are just so so so good! Not only are the action shots of our tellers (we are a storytelling nonprofit) wonderful, but the photos of folks reacting to our stories are my favorite. She is exceptionally skilled at capturing a range of emotions in a single photo and we have then used these photos in every marketing material imaginable. Mysi also photographed my wedding at City Hall! She got so many wonderful photos of our families crammed into the small courtroom and somehow made even the drab beige walls feel magical. It is also important for me to note that Mysi herself is an absolute dream to work with. She is communicative, punctual, and an utter delight. I sincerely cannot recommend her highly enough.

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!

  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Big Bear Lake, CA

I set my mind and soul to this craft about 5 years ago and my heart just grew with every couple I met and every story I learned and told through my favorite medium of photography. It is the absolute best feeling being able to photograph the genuine love and happiness a couple expels through their wedding day. Nothing can beat the emotions and the charm of that. It's an honor to be able to translate those emotions onto images so people can look back through them and get back those feelings years and decades later.

Awarded Best of Zola
Telling a compelling story with a still camera is a rare talent and Fatima Elreda exudes it. She has a unique eye for a great photo and also takes the time to get to know her clients in a meaningful way so she can deliver the vision for their special day. We hired Fatima for our engagement in 2020, our wedding in 2022, and we’ll be hiring her again for all our major life events. Her photos go way beyond the standard playbook for weddings, and instead capture the emotion and connection of the day in an unforgettable way. If you’re looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture your special day, then look no further.

As a somewhat reserved couple, she boosted our confidence and continuously hyped up both my partner and me, bringing out the best in each of us in our photos. I'm really excited for her to capture our dream wedding this December. Thank you Tooney!

Murtazzah and his team at MKE were absolutely fantastic. Their professionalism, kindness, and expertise were outright unmatched.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I first got engaged, we knew we wanted to take engagement photos in Mammoth Lakes, CA. I had actually reached out to a different photographer, but she was unavailable the dates we were looking for and referred us to Diana. Luckily, she happened to be available and in the area at the exact time we were going to be there. It really was meant to be! We were nervous, we’re not the type of people who are used to posing in front of a camera, but she made us feel comfortable and captured the most beautiful, genuine photos. We had such a good experience that we later booked her, and her husband Isiah as our officiant, for our wedding in Laguna Beach, CA. They were extremely professional and made the whole process seamless. Diana captured the most amazing candid moments/details and Isiah was the perfect officiant, he even took care of all the license/certificate paperwork after the ceremony for us. We’re absolutely in love with the photos and we’re constantly getting print requests from family/friends. We definitely now have a go-to photographer for any other future events! We can’t recommend them enough!

My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

I recently had the pleasure of a portrait session with Sarahi, and the experience was phenomenal.

Communication with Sarahi was seamless, and deadlines were met with precision, reinforcing the positive overall experience.

Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did!

Gui was excellent to work with. He photographed our wedding ceremony and reception June 10, 2023 in Los Angeles. He was very professional from the start... and a pleasure to work with. He helped during the planning phase, understood what we were looking for in terms of photos and photo style, and was kind and warm to our friends and family on the day of the event. His price was good (we shopped around). He was on time and on budget the day of the event, and super prompt (early) providing our photos to us. I originally chose him as our photographer because I liked how his portfolio showcased his talent at capturing the emotion of the day. Our wedding photos have this same quality and we are really happy with the pictures. We were very happy with him all around. I am so glad we chose him. A great guy to work with!

How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
I love photos and photography was one of my must have, high quality items for our wedding. Our original photographer had to back out (with plenty of time and notice) so we found ourselves back at the drawing board several months before the wedding. I found Brenda and loved that her images showed a diverse clientele - as a plus size bride with a SO over 6’ tall, that was something that really mattered to me. By the end of our Zoom meeting I wanted to hug her! I felt confident she was the right fit. When the big day came around, not only was her presence instantly calming (things had already been going wrong that morning) but she was incredibly helpful every step of the way, including trying to find a dropped earring, closing my necklace because everyone’s nails were too long, making sure I had space to take a break when my nerves overwhelmed me. We just got some of our sneak peeks in and wow…I’m crying all over again. She captured moments between my SO and I so beautifully, you can feel the love we have for each other. It sounds cliche, but it’s true! Not only were we pleased with Brenda, our guests and wedding party all had such kind things to say about her - how many weddings have you gone to and complimented the photographer, as a guest?! If her style is one that you like, don’t hesitate to hire Brenda. I can’t wait to take more photos with her as we grow old. She was an important part of our day and, for me, the best person to have by my side throughout the chaotic day. I was so happy to have her as part of our adventurers club.

That is how we would describe Jamaal's work! From the first consultation, he was very flexible and responsive to putting together a package that fit our needs. His sense of professionalism, yet amicable personality made it very comfortable to work with Jamaal. While taking the pics, he allowed us to just be ourselves, catching many candid shots so the photoshoot felt natural. He made us feel very comfortable throughout all the shoots we did. His finished products are stunning, not to mention he turns it around super fast!! From the 1st consultation all the way to the wedding day, he was always quick to respond and punctual to everything (true story: he showed up like 3hrs before so he could scope spots for our engagement shoot). We will surely use Visuals by J. McKenzie for any other future photography needs!! Thanks Jamaal!!!

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
We approached Rebecca for her photojournalistic photography, something we explicitly wanted in our wedding because we wanted those natural moments captured without looking awkward, and she astonished us by capturing so many sentimental and hilarious parts throughout our wedding. From framing to editing, the photos turned out fantastic and we love them so much! You can see raw emotion, joy, and amazement throughout them. She truly captured the feelings of the day without making us feel overly posed and orchestrated; she made it all feel natural and sometimes even seemed to disappear out of sight (although the photos prove she was there all along). She truly is an artist! We also appreciated Rebecca and Stephanie getting onto the dance floor and grooving with us while capturing hilarious moments. We highly recommend Rebecca if you want authentic, beautiful photos from someone who understands how to include cultural and personal values in your special event!

We specialize in creative moment driven wedding & lifestyle photography. We are committed to telling our couples stories and supporting them in ways that allow them to be free of stress and to be in the moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jos and Tree came highly recommended to us and, having worked with them, we now know why! A lot of people take wedding photos. Among them are a handful of folks who are also reliable, professional, and pleasant to work with. And within that smaller group, is an even smaller group of photographers who have real artistic vision matched with technical skill. Jos & Tree are, without a doubt, near the top of that select group. The images they produced of our wedding run the gamut from traditional wedding photos to absolute masterpieces of lighting, composition, and technical execution. Here's an example: as the day was wrapping up, and a bit *after* Jos and Tree's deadline for leaving had passed, they quickly posed my wife and I in front of a tree in the park; Jos had a vision for an image he wanted to capture in the fading light... and the resulting image proved absolutely magnificent; it is my favorite photo of the day, and among the top photographs I have seen anyone create, anywhere. On top of the artistic talent and skill, Jos & Tree were an absolute pleasure to work with; responsive, pleasant, personable, and fun. They were always on time, and ready to work... and work they did!! The amount of effort and energy they put into capturing lots of beautiful and creative images cannot be overstated. And then, they edited them beautifully, and have been working with us to select images to print and put in a book. The quality of their artistic consultation has been phenomenal. My wife and I have seen a lot of wedding photos that people proudly post online on sites like reddit. I can confidently say that I've yet to see more interesting and beautiful wedding photos than the ones I've seen from Jos and Tree. It's a pleasure to give these two lovely people our highest recommendation.

Also, she is competent in catching what her clients want and also excel in understanding photography trends. During the photo shoots, she’s made good & precise instructions for posing and those kept me relax and be natural in front of camera for the whole time.

My name is Jonathan Moore. I am a Los Angeles based wedding photographer and available worldwide. I'll get right to it: The very last thing I want is for you to think of your experience with me as a "photoshoot." I think that posed "prom" photos are totally lame and reflect absolutely nothing unique about you or your partner. After all, you are not actors pretending to be "in love," so why should your images reflect that? At the core, your images should ultimately remind you of why you fell in love in the first place. This is what we're celebrating!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jonathan was the photographer for our wedding and absolutely blew us away with his work. His photos are so gorgeous and perfectly captured the best weekend of our lives. We did a two-night wedding party on the Oregon coast, and Jonathan covered both days and both nights to make sure we had the perfect documentation of our weekend. He picked out the perfect spots for shots after the ceremony, and worked hard to get us in the best light filtering through the trees as we did a little post-ceremony hike in the rainforest. Jonathan also fit right in with our friends when he wasn't busy photographing, and our guests thought he was just one of our friends they hadn't met yet who happened to be a photographer. I would rate him 10/10 on technical photography skills and professionalism, and 11/10 as a person. Our cousin Levi, who has Down's Syndrome, attended and wanted to help photograph the wedding day. Not only was Jonathan fine with having another person photographing near him, he was giving Levi tips on how to position the subjects (us: bride and groom) in the best light and how to compose the shot, at the same time as he was doing his own shooting!! Those specific photos turned out to be magnificent and I will always remember what was going on behind the camera when I see them too. That was a really memorable moment for me and really illustrates what you can expect to get from Jonathan.

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

Hi! I'm Hannah, your So Cal (but traveling) elopement and intimate wedding photographer! I'm so glad you're here. My photography style is a documentary/natural photographer. This means I'm more about documenting your moments and helping you create genuine smiles/moments in photos, opposed to just posing you, i want you to dance and have fun, snuggle into your partner and get those intimate moments. (I'll of course help you figure out what to do with your hands, because lets me honest, even I don't know what to do with my hands in photos. Haha) I love traveling, I love adventure, and I love making friends out of my clients.

Having Hannah as our wedding photographer was easily the greatest decision we made! Hannah was incredibly professional, kind, informative, easy to work with, easy to talk to, great communicator, and listened to all our needs. My husband and I are very awkward and uncomfortable when it comes to taking photos (taking professional photos was a new thing for us) and Hannah made sure we were comfortable from start to finish. By the time the wedding came around we knew exactly what to do thanks to her easy to follow tips, tricks, advice and guidance.

We are here to help you navigate the path of forging your OWN path. Going the adventure elopement route is intimate, authentic, and empowering...with a day that is truly reflective of your relationship and defines the two of you! One of the best things about eloping is that you get to throw away the rule book and write your own. Whether that is spending your wedding day on a mountaintop in Oregon, among the waterfalls in Iceland, or the warm desert of California.

I have been lucky to style a few elopements Sienna Plus Josh have photographed. They are so kind and professional, always putting their nervous clients at ease- in the end creating an incredible gallery.

I am so Happy you are here! My name is Alice and I am a portrait and wedding photographer based in Northern Virginia - Maryland - Washington D.C. areas. To me, it has been a privilege to be able to connect with everyone that I had a chance to photograph. My goal is to capture those raw, honest, and authentic emotions so that twenty years from now, you can look back on these photos and still remember exactly how that moment felt. I hope we share the same goal and that I am the photographer you are looking for.

Alice was an absolute delight to work with. The entire process from booking her to the actual wedding day was pleasant, professional, and you feel truly cared for! Alice is the sweetest and kindest person and you can tell she wants to get to know you to capture your personality through these photos. She puts in a lot of effort into the photos and it shows her artistry. If you are looking for someone to capture your big day, seriously, Alice is the absolute best artist, person and photographer ever!

Vivian Chen Photography

5.0

Richmond, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Big Bear Lake, CA

My style is natural and photojournalistic. I love capturing unscripted moments because those are the type of photos that tell a richer story of your day. Working with me means nothing overly posed, nothing awkward, nothing that doesn't feel like YOU. While we'll spend some time doing portraits, my priority is for you to be present and enjoy your wedding day. I like to shoot discreetly with an emphasis on candids so from the moment you first see each other to that last hilarious toast, you’ll be relaxed and focused on one another and not even noticed I’m there.

We cannot recommend Vivian highly enough for your wedding photography! We had multiple guests compliment her professionalism and stealthiness on the day of the wedding. Vivian’s calm demeanor was MUCH appreciated on the hectic wedding day. She is a superstar. She made sure we didn’t fall behind with our timeline even though we had requested a large number of portraits. Even though we’re a bit camera awkward Vivian was great at posing us and guests for shots. But where Vivian really shines is all of the candid shots that capture the pure joy and excitement of the day! She was so fast to provide us with our wedding photos, and we love looking back at them. The photos are framed well, have true to life coloring, and are just beautiful.

The Hendrys

5.0

Pasadena, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Big Bear Lake, CA

We're a Scottish duo living our best lives in Los Angeles! We appreciate unpopular TV shows, all the vegan food, and a good old road trip. But our most favorite thing is our two fur-kids (bunnies!). We are not typical wedding photographers, that is for certain. We go against the usual grain, and that's exactly how we like it to roll. Normal is boring. Well, for us, at least. Not just for the 'wild at heart' and 'free-spirited'. For e v e r y o n e. And we mean it. We don't discriminate. Ever.

Asking The Hendrys to photograph our wedding was one of the easiest decisions we made during the planning process and also one of the best. They are incredible and did such a great job capturing our vibe and the feeling of the day. They are also the nicest people ever and instantly made us and everyone in our wedding party feel at home in front of the camera! Pro tip, we asked them to take our engagement photos so we could all get to know each other before the big day, and I strongly recommend others follow suit. The price was very reasonable and the photos are INCREDIBLE. My only regret is that we don't have another major life event in the near future so we can hang with them again/star in more of their amazing work!
