I’m a thrift shopper who loves cozy blankets and good pasta. Now that I'm a mom (of twins!), I'm reminded every day of how important the little moments are and how important it is for me to capture them before they're gone! I like to think that my style is natural and genuine :) I smile big, love to laugh but also might cry at your first dance.

Emily was amazing! My wife and I loved all our pictures from her and Angel! Emily was punctual, professional, easy to communicate with, and really personable. The wedding was a blur at times that it was so awesome to see what other guests were doing because of the pictures. We recommend Emily over any photographer. We also highly recommend getting a second shooter. We could not be happier with our pictures!

Hi! I'm Heather, the photographer behind Heather Lee Photographs. I've always had a passion for the art of photography… learning, appreciating, and shooting all that I can. I enjoy capturing the special moments in life, helping people remember the past, and allowing them to keep those memories alive.

Awarded Best of Zola
Heather photographed our wedding including first look, ceremony, dinner, and dance. Heather communicated wonderfully and asked us great questions in preparation for our big day. Heather arrived promptly and literally jumped right in by taking photos in the first minute of walking through the door. Parts of our wedding were a bit spontaneous, and Heather rolled with it without missing a beat. Heather showed professionalism and experience as she guided us with varied poses and backdrops for our photos. Beyond her photographic talent, Heather was a lovely addition to our day. Several guests commented (unprompted to do so) on how she seemed to be everywhere, catching priceless moments. Heather was efficient in organizing our group photos and demonstrated both patience and assertiveness as we had many children attending. I felt very trusting of Heather in the ways she directed us for shots and would subtly request us for photos as the sky changed. It was evident she was focused, invested, and committed to creating amazing photos for our day in a way that felt seamless. We cannot wait to see our pics and have confidence we will be blown away. We are deeply grateful.

Brianna was a real pleasure to work with for both our engagement and wedding photos. I don't particularly like having my picture taken, so the photography bit of the wedding festivities was what I was most nervous about. Brianna has a gentle spirit and was great at making suggestions, asking about preferences, and doing it all in a manner that put me at ease. She was also really great at communicating with us about when our pictures would be ready and options for albums. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to work with!

Hello, My fiancé and I hired William to be the photographer for not only our engagement shoot but our wedding day as-well.

Thankfully, William is extremely kind and made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable. His work is not only breath tanking but he also makes you feel truly special every step of the way. William is very understanding and wants to ensure that you get the best most memorable shots.

Nick has been a full time wedding photographer in Temecula, Ca since 2013. Rosie joined as Nick's main second shooter after they got married in March of 2020, and now is a wedding coordinator serving Southern CA and Mexico. We work great together as a photography team and love celebrating with our couples. When we are not behind the camera, you’ll find us enjoying our cozy home and adventures abroad. We love it when our couples are wildly passionate for each other and aren’t afraid to show it. We absolutely love what we do and treat every wedding and portrait session as our own. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I heard of Nick through a friend, and had an engagement photo shoot and wedding shoot with him. AMAZING! I cannot tell you how many friends and family were raving about my great photographer. Engagement photos: Overall very fantastic! He was flexible taking photos at any location we wanted, and gave great suggestions on which outfits would look best with different backgrounds. His eye for photography, lighting, and posing made our photos turn out even more spectacular than we would have ever thought! Nick gave great suggestions for poses, and got a good combination of candid shots (smiling, laughing, cuddling, etc), as well as professional posed shots. I've worked with many photographers in the past for various occasions, and have never worked with a better photographer than Nick! Highly, highly recommend. Wedding: Same experience as our engagement photos. I wrote up a list of shots I wanted (couple with my grandfather, specific shot in my church's chapel, shot of me holding flower girl, etc), and he made sure all those photos were taken. He (and his second / assistant shooter) were great at coordinating bridal party / family to take photos, but also in letting us have fun with some poses we wanted. His editing time and returning photos is incredibly fast. All photos were edited beautifully, and he was also easy to communicate with. Efficient at answering emails and providing clear details on pricing / hours/ services. UTMOST RECOMMENDATION! *My sister loved him so much at my wedding, that she booked him for her maternity photos a few months later!

Hey, I'm Alex! A sappy, soulful, empathic human who believes #loveislove, all relationships are uniquely special, and both sides are your good sides with a little confidence and a built-in cheerleader (aka me). Being part of a couples' wedding day is the ultimate honor. My goal is to capture your love at its most natural, your wedding details like they're straight out of a magazine, and your candid family like a National Geographic photog would. Coming from a big family with lots of personality (hellooo I'm the oldest of 8), I "get" what you're feeling as you plan this wedding and I'm here ensure you LIVE FULLY on your wedding day.

Talented. Professional. Fun. We feel like we struck gold with Alex as our wedding photographer! We wanted a photographer that could do it all: capture real emotion, help create some editorial moments, and deliver fantastic family portraits - and we got that and more with Alex. We are so happy with the results! We’re also so glad we did an engagement shoot prior to our wedding. It allowed us to get comfortable being in front of the camera and when it came time for our wedding day, it felt like Alex was just one more friend in the room who just happened to be capturing every special moment.

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
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.

Working with Sophia was amazing! My husband and I were living in 2 different states when we got married and our wedding was held in a location several hours away from the both of us. Sophia was so accommodating in planning our big day even though we couldn’t meet in person due to our circumstances. She even went to our wedding venue location months before our wedding to spot good places to take photos. When we requested a second photographer, she was so quick and helpful in accommodating this need. She was so organized and ask for detailed information before the big day and this made sure everything ran smoothly and we got all the photos we wanted! We were really big on having someone to capture the joy of our big day and that’s exactly what Sophia did! When we saw all out photos it was incredible to see all the fun she captured from our guests and ourselves! She was also super quick to return all of our photos and there over 1000 photos to look at! Even after the wedding, Sophia went out of her way to ask me if she could submit photos to be published in a magazine. Because of her great skills one of our wedding photos was published in the Baltimore Weddings review! Sophia was great and I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who makes the day stress-free and captures the most authentic and joyful moments!

Savannah went to school for videography and Jon is an OG drummer turned videographer that has really enjoyed getting to create. If we aren’t celebrating you and your love story, you can find us at the beach, probably eating some yummy food, and missing our fluff ball kitty at home. We are so easy going and love to be spontaneous with our plans.

My boyfriend and I met with Savannah for a couple's photoshoot this fall. First of all, it was raining but because my boyfriend lives out of state, I really didn't want to reschedule. Savannah totally went with it and we had so much fun. We even brought our wild (like very wild) puppy with us and she was super laid back and was open for anything. She helped me pick out a color scheme prior to the shoot and was so easy to communicate with. She was extremely professional, yet personable. I absolutely recommend working with Savannah!

She works in both digital and film mediums and her work has been featured in publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, Destination I Do and Brides.

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Jess Onesto, owner of Cheers Babe Photo, when I was a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding. I had been a bridesmaid many times at this point, but had never met a photographer like Jess. Jess has such an amazing energy and she managed to make hours of photos so dang fun! When I got engaged, the first thing I did for wedding planning was book Cheers Babe to capture our wedding day. Outside of marrying my husband, booking Cheers Babe was the best decision I made when it came to our wedding. When COVID hit, we went from having a destination wedding for 200 people to a 10-person wedding at my husband’s childhood home. Through all the ups and downs of planning our original dream wedding, cancelling that wedding, and re-planning another wedding, Jess was with us every step of the way. When you hire Jess, you are hiring more than a photographer. You are hiring a caring, passionate and empathetic human being who truly loves her couples. Jess is a wealth of wedding knowledge and she was there to offer advice, guidance and emotional support pre-COVID and after. It can be awkward posing for photos. Jess takes all of the awkwardness out of it and makes it feel natural and fun. We booked an engagement photoshoot with Jess before our wedding and I am so glad we did. She taught us tons of tips for taking photos that she referenced again on our wedding day. It made the whole thing so much more natural. Jess has a way of making her brides and grooms feel so beautiful and at ease, which shows in the end result. You can feel the joy and happiness when you look at her photos because that’s how she makes her couples feel!

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 made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

I officiated a wedding in Asheville NC, and working beside her was easily accomplished. She watched as I swayed in and out of the photos for the couple so she could get the perfect shots we both knew that the couple wanted. We made eye contact and communicated through head knods knowing what was expected next. I've officiated so many weddings that it was great to have someone prepared for they knew what and when I was going to do it. Best of all, although it was a VERY cold morning, the couple threw a curve ball and asked her if they could take a trip up the Smokey Mountains for a few extra photos. Without hesitation, she said..sure! She shared photos with me and because I was officiating the wedding and sent the previews to me for MY portfolio!

As the bride, there was so much going on and I didn't have to direct J. at all, he just flowed through the preparation, ceremony and party with ease and captured everything. He also had some fabulous ideas for posed pictures post ceremony. From the start I knew he would be great because he contacted me immediately after I sent a request to him and actually PICKED UP THE PHONE to speak in person. Crucial in my book!

Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

Christian and Emilio were an absolute joy to work with from our exploratory communications, to the day of our wedding, and the delivery of our photo's and video. We are forever grateful to have them be apart of our special day. They listened to exactly what we asked for. We didn't want a lot of the typical wedding shots and wanted more candid photos. Not only did they deliver on that, some of the more staged photo's that we thought we didn't need, once we saw the outcome, we were happy that they worked a few of those in the mix ;-). Christian and Emilio totally got our vibe and it translated beautifully in photo's and our video. Our friends and family are still raving about it! Listen, we all know that sticking to a budget while wedding planning is necessary yet one of the biggest challenges BUT they are willing to work with you. I'm not kidding. These gents truly have your best interest at heart and that includes giving you quality work within a budget that works for you. My husband and I have very high standards and are very detailed oriented, so this a very honest review. Cross this off your 'vendors to hire' list and HIRE THEM! Don't even think twice about it.

I barely noticed them throughout the ceremony, but when we received our photos, all our special moments were captured extremely well. They were again prompt and ready to go for our photo shoot at Mission San Juan Capistrano. We were time limited by the venue (our ceremony was at 2 in Costa Mesa and the Mission grounds close strictly at 5), but because David and Blanca were experienced and ready to go, we captured several beautiful photos at multiple places around the garden grounds. We were able to capture all the photos we needed and more within an hour. David and Blanca posed us and our wedding party well and the photos were professionally edited. They also captured all the special moments from our reception. Thanks to David and Blanca, we will have many beautiful photos to hang up in our house, share with our relatives, and cherish throughout our life.

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

My favorite thing about photography is capturing the candid “in-between” moments, real emotions, and when people bring their dogs to their shoots. I work with my clients to create memories that last beyond their wedding day, and deliver photos that capture the fun, romantic and timeless moments so you can re-live them for years to come.

Kelsey is an incredibly talented photographer - she truly "sees" the subject of the photo. She understands their energy, personality, and their comfort (and discomfort) zones. Kelsey has the ability to capture these special moments in time in a photo, that when revisited/looked at after the event, take you RIGHT back to that moment. She is artistic, professional, and consistent with her art and business. She is always exactly where you need her to be, and extremely reliable. She puts the client at ease, even when being in front of a camera is not the most comfortable experience for most people! She is organized in her approach before, during and after the event but never too pushy or overbearing. She listens, observes, and performs at a very high level. Working with Kelsey was a dream, and I feel thankful to have worked with her. I believe the photographer is the most important vendor during the "wedding" process (engagement, wedding, etc.) and I struck gold with Sunbeam!!

On a day that is already hectic and full of nerves, Dominic brought the calm and the fun as we shot all our photos throughout the night. His patience, humor, creativity, and amazing eye made the experience absolutely wonderful! I can't recommend him enough! HIRE HIM!

  • Serves Coachella, CA

To be perfectly honest, I love what I do. I'm damn good at it. I have dabbled in all sorts of jobs but I kept coming back to the camera. It feels really good to take the craft that I love so much and share it. The scope of my photography is wide but I specialize in weddings and elopements. I've been photographing weddings since 2005. I believe in vibing well with your photographer because let's be honest, your photographer will be up close and personal with you throughout your big day so it's important to choose someone whose energy you enjoy and mesh well with. Having a phone or zoom chat or meeting in person is a good move!

I am a documentary-style photographer with a passion for visual storytelling. With my fly-on-the-wall approach, your images will be an authentic, honest reflection of your love. When you look back at your photos, I want you to remember the laughs, the tears, and the moments spent with your beloveds - rather than having your photo taken. It is my joy and honor to capture this momentous day of your lives. If my style aligns with what you are looking for in a wedding photographer, let's connect and create magic together!

Mary provided excellent quality service for us, offering fantastic photos and comfortable environment. Miss Mary gave us romantic engagement photos, unique wedding pictures and joyful images celebrating the then upcoming arrival of our first child. We cannot wait to book more sessions with this wonderful photographer who brings ease and happiness to each session. We love Mary and the magic she captures and brings!

They are the sweetest folks to work with. We had always wanted a video package but could not find an affordable option. Billy and Miss Cheryl did BOTH! We got photos and videos for two days and they even live streamed our wedding to our family overseas. Billy's photos are insane gorgeous and Cheryl's video captured everything we had dreamed of. I highly recommend them to everyoone wanting a amazing wedding.

Halley Vernon Photography

El Cajon, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Coachella, CA

Hi I'm Halley I’m a couples, wedding, and elopement photographer based in San Diego, Big Sur, and Seattle, but I’m ready to follow you anywhere! I was born and raised in the PNW, I’m 28 years old, I have a husband and 2 puppies who I love with my whole heart. I’m an extroverted introvert who loves all-night brewery hangs just as much as home game nights, and my love languages are words of affirmation and sushi.

Halley Vernon has been one of favorite photographers to work with. From the beginning Halley was super informative and considerate to make sure I was well prepared for the wedding we were both going to be working. Super professional yet very intentional. When it came to the wedding day, Halley was on top of it. Making sure we stayed on schedule and capturing every detail they requested. Not only that but Halley really pushed my creativity to capture photos in different angles that I wouldn't have ever thought about. I highly recommend Halley for your big day!
