  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA for additional fees

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a lover of art, stories, and spark—the perfect alchemy to creating and capturing all those memory-making, magical moments. Weddings, to me, are about your unique narrative, your origin stories and your threads of connection; the ways in which you’ve woven a love through a tapestry of compassion and inspiration and all that makes you you— both as individuals and as a couple. That’s the fabric of the photo, the material I like to work with; because of this, my photos lean atmospheric and candid.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah was incredible, my husband, our guests, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She blended seamlessly with the crowd throughout our entire wedding weekend and the pictures are stunning! We had some pretty major last-minute schedule changes due to unforeseen circumstances, Hannah was so gracious and able to accommodate us despite the last-minute chaos. Her work is beautiful & she was an absolute delight to work with. Cannot recommend Hannah & Citrine Pictures enough!

  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA for additional fees

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was fortunate enough to be surprised, on what would have been our wedding date (COVID...) this past September, 2020 by my fiancé & best friend. My surprise was an epic "however long you want/need" photoshoot with Maggie here in Washington DC. Maggie picked the perfect spot to go with my minimalist and greenery aesthetic preferences (without having ever met me btw..), all while making it super fun and relaxed. Maggie's communication was great, provided great recommendations on how to pose or engage with others in the shots and made us all feel beautiful! She had our photos to us within a few days, the editing was immaculate and I still use them to this day!

Sam is the best! When I told her I wanted to do a desert shot for my engagement shoot, she was able to immediately suggest a location. And the shots came out super cool! Fast forward to our wedding day, Sam captured every moment of our wedding! This was critical for us, as we opted out of getting a videographer, but we really didn't need it! When I saw our photo gallery, I was reliving the wedding day each step of the way. Sam's super professional, organize, creative, and easy to work with. I will book her for my maternity shoot!

Virginia Beach, VA

  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA for additional fees

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. Her professionalism and quality of product are unmatched. She goes above and beyond with her work and you can tell how passionate she is about it. If you want someone with great energy, clear communication, incredible products, great professionalism, and so much more then she’s your girl!

Documenting weddings by capturing the effortless love and beautiful nature that exists in the same space. Photographing joy-filled weddings in a natural yet bright and vibrant style to bring candid and editorial moments to life.

My style is natural, organic, and colorful with an editorial flare that aims to capture authentic human connection and the natural environment around you.

Kayla was the third photographer for our wedding and we are so SO glad that she was part of the team for our big day! She has such a special eye for detail and captured moments with such love and care. She was incredibly helpful the day of our wedding, from extensively scoping out photography locations, to bringing us water and anything else we needed as we were going through our shot list. The final gallery that she shared with us was absolutely stunning and so full of unique moments and details we were so glad were captured on film for us to relive again and again.

Hi! I'm Emily! Mom to 3 kids, two rats named Frodo and Sam and a bearded dragon. I like my couples like I like my pets - just slightly unconventional. Dress fluffer, timeline-keeper, family wrangler, prone to squealing over a perfect ray of sunshine- I'll dance with your grandma, cry during your vows, and make you laugh at inappropriate moments. You're a badass and deserve the space to express yourself and your love EXACTLY as you are, no holds barred. Say goodbye to not knowing what to do with your hands, fake smiles in photos, and stiff posing that *just doesn't feel like you*. LGBTQIA+ and looking for a safe vendor? I gotchu!

Emily did our engagement and wedding photos. She was easy going, flexible, professional, and helped us feel comfortable with her :) Our wedding happened right at the height of the covid pandemic and Emily was very accommodating in that unique situation.

My earliest memories of photography are from when I attended weddings at 5 or 6 years old. I would photograph everyone at these weddings with a small, plastic, film camera and loved every moment. That joy of photography and capturing beauty and love has stayed with me ever since. I have a better camera now, but I still can't wait to capture your love.

Tom did a fantastic job with our engagement shoot. We couldn’t have asked for better. He made us feel super comfortable and was able to capture amazing shots without interrupting our special moment. He gave us so many gorgeous images that we were able to use for our announcements, save-the-dates, and wedding website. He truly went above and beyond.

She is amazing at her craft and was so easy to work with. She has great relationships with videographers too! I cannot wait to work with her again soon to capture more of beautiful life moments!!

I've always loved photography. The ability to freeze those special moments in time to cherish forever is such a strong passion of mine. I love being behind a camera. Whether it's capturing my husband and kids reading a book together or the first time a groom sees his bride. Every photo has it's own story to tell. I live in Raleigh, NC but love to travel, anywhere and everywhere! I can't wait to hear from you and hope to become a part of that special moment in your life!

Kelly is a joy to work with. She has a way of connecting with her couples to have them look natural and relaxed. Each time she shoots a wedding at our venue she captures different photos of our property. She works hard to get every picture possible and all those special moments!

We are a Husband & Wife team currently based in SoCal but will travel to Las Vegas as well as any other state in the U.S. What is “The Lou Effect”? Well The Lou Effect is actually a quote my wife would say to me before going to shoots. Before heading out she’d always say “show them that Lou effect”, so from there the name was born. Essentially the goal is to always make every shoot as creatively unique as possible, by showcasing key moments from small details to those big wowing moments to truly tell your days story. But ultimately the desired “Effect” is to leave our clients with smiles on their faces and satisfaction in their hearts.

One thing you need to know about me is I'm a die hard romantic. Not only have I had a camera attached to me for years, but I love watching people in love. My main goal as your photographer is to capture your love in your most truest form to show you what it looks like in the perspective of others. I believe beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and your significant other is the best person to make that shine through.

If I could have Kristin with KxW photography take our pictures every week I would. We both felt so comfortable behind the camera and she led us the whole time. Her editing styling has been my favorite because It’s so timeless and raw. I can’t wait to book my next session with her

I have never felt more comfortable being photographed. She was so kind. Our daughter (10years old) had a meltdown at the end of the night right before our last dance. We got her mostly calmed down, then Chelsea stepped up and asked her to walk around and take pictures with her, our daughter loves taking. The next thing we know she has made the evening even more special by letting our daughter take pics of us by herself. It made us so happy. I know this isn’t normal but she had an ease about her. She was amazing to work with. The pictures were amazing. I’ve only gotten the sneak peaks and I just can’t stop looking at them I am in love with them. Just stunning. So thankful for finding her!
