  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA for additional fees

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.

We LOVED working with Josh. I am also a professional photographer, so I put a ton of trust in Josh to calm my nerves and make me look nice on the other side of the lens and he went above and beyond. The session felt like a hang out with friends, no pressure or awkwardness at all. He gave direction but also let our personalities and connection shine through. I highly recommend Josh if you’re looking for more creative and artistic portraits that aren’t boring or cliche! He zoom chatted with us to get a feel for our personalities and connection first and he asked us about our story. He went the extra mile to really get us as people and as a couple. This is evident in what he was able to capture.

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.

Marilyn is such an amazing photographer! She was super helpful in planning a surprise proposal for my now fiancé. She's very responsive and took such amazing candid moments of us throughout our session.

We are so, so happy we went with Ryan- he worked with us on our specific needs and requests, offering suggestions that made our photos come out even better than we could have imagined! Our situation was a bit unconventional; he was flexible and he created a nice narrative with a really beautiful aesthetic offering a rich variety of photos in only an hour time. Ryan captured our family with candid shots and also provided guidance, which was helpful. He also worked great with our 5 year old, keeping him engaged and making it fun. We will be absolutely reaching out to him for our next photos!!

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 the photographer you want for your special events. Why choose anyone else?! Not only are the photos he captures perfect and beautiful, he is the greatest pleasure to be around for your special event (especially high energy/high stress events). He was the wedding photographer for my sister's wedding in California. He truly captured the imagery of each moment with clear visual direction along with his signature documentary-esque style. You can tell he treasures each moment while you're passing through it so you can reflect and experience it again and again later on through the photos. His genuine and kind personality shines throughout the entire process and he makes you feel at ease with jokes and great conversation. His website just a sneak peak to what you can expect when he comes to shoot your event!

Hey y’all! My name's Gabriella, I love sunshine and I'm a documentary-style wedding & engagement photographer based in Philadelphia. I'm a hopeless romantic and I adore documenting love stories with my camera in a beautiful & compelling way. Basically, I’m a down-to-earth gal from Pennsylvania who got hooked on the travel bug at college in Georgia (go dawgs!!), has a passion for storytelling and absolutely loves love. Running, biking and chasing sunsets are my favorite pastimes. I’m team coffee AND team tea. I dream real big and I’m full of ambition. Oh, and I'm not just you wedding photographer ... I'm your new friend :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow!! Working with Gabriella was an absolute treat! When we were looking for a wedding photographer, I stumbled onto her Instagram page and fell in love with her work. For our wedding photos, we wanted real photos, not overly edited, too dark or too light and Gabriella’s work caught our eyes. From her angles to the way she captured the beauty in everything she shot. When I kept comparing the work of others to hers, I knew we had to book her for our wedding! From start to finish, Gabriella was so good at making us feel comfortable and natural. I am so thankful we booked the engagement session before the wedding because it gave us a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera and get to know Gabriella!! Through the planning process, Gabriella was diligent to check in to see if we needed anything and gave super helpful tips. With just a few weeks out, I found myself calling Gabriella once a week with little questions or last minute confirmations. She always met my phone calls with compassion and willingness to answer anything! Now, wedding day!!! Gabriella arrived on time and ready to jump into action! Through the chaos of the day, she worked around everything in the background and introduced herself to everyone. She was totally my calm through the day, I didn’t feel like I needed to know my timeline because I was certain she had it down. Even if things did not go as planned, she kept my priorities at the forefront and never made me worry. She was sure we hit all of our major points of the day. Gabriella was so easy to be comfortable in front of. Some of our most intimate moments, like the first look with my dad and groom, reading our letters, and opening gifts- Gabriella captured them beautifully and gracefully. The entire day, we were able to be completely enamored with one another and did not worry about where our photographers were. They captured beautiful photos without being overbearing or intrusive. Before Gabriella left for the night, she was sure to say goodbye to us as well as both of our parents. It is personal touches like that, that make your photographer. Everyone in the wedding party commented on how great our photographers were. For our engagement photos and our wedding photos, Gabriella went above and beyond with our sneak peaks! She promptly sent us a HUGE gallery, that we fell in love with! It was great to share them immediately with friends and family, and they all drooled over the photos too! Our photos were clearly, unapologetically, us. She enhanced the natural beauty that was around us. Our experience with Gabriella exceeded our hopes and perfectly captured our love.

Arie was a joy to work with from beginning to end! She was a great communicator from our initial conversation through the delivery of our photos. She helped determine our timeline and kept us on track throughout our wedding day. Arie is truly an artist! We felt completely comfortable and at ease in front of the camera.

Hi I'm Carmelisse. I'm an intimate wedding & elopement photographer based in Los Angeles. I have a gift for making people comfortable and seeing the beauty in all diverse people. I want nothing more than to tell your love story right.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are SO happy with Carmelisse and her whole team. Ever since we got engaged, we already knew we wanted her as our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding. She is so easy to work with and very communicative throughout our whole planning process. She was especially easy to work with as we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. She was flexible, understanding and compassionate during the challenging time. My husband and I are shy in front of the camera and slightly awkward, but Carmelisse knew how to make us feel comfortable and look natural in photos. She really understands how to capture authentic shots that don't look staged or posed. She was so amazing on our actual wedding day, her team was so well prepared and eased all my nerves. She is as an actual dream to work with and we received our teasers only a few days later when we got to our honeymoon! I cannot rave enough about how happy with how our photos turned out and the whole experience working with Carmelisse.

I honestly can’t recommend Caden enough! A small portion of the reason I will always choose Caden over any other photographers is due to how comfortable he made us. He blended in so well that he felt more like a friend than just the photographer. He was funny and so extremely polite. The way he made everything work and the willingness to get us the shots we wanted, even though we made him shoot every pose a MILLION times!!! Thanks again Caden. I can’t wait to do another shoot with you.

Lindsey Paradiso Photography

Seattle, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA for additional fees

Like most children in the late 90's and early 00's, I grew up with a camera in my hand. I went through polaroids, video cameras, disposable cameras, waterproof cameras, and film cameras; all the cameras! I was so fascinated by photography and the ability to preserve moments. I'm an ENFP, 7w6, and extroverted-introvert who is not only thrilled but humbled to be a witness and historian to the significant moments in your life we are able to share together!

Lindsey photographed my wedding in June 2017. My fiancée and I at the time were running into some vendor issues because of where we live and the fact that we are a same-sex couple, so when Lindsey wanted to have lunch with us, we were nervous to say the least. However, it was only minutes into the conversation that I knew we’d found the perfect photographer for us. Lindsey shared her personal stories with us, and made us feel like we were talking with a friend we’d known for years. Wedding days are hectic, and we had a large wedding party, but Lindsey didn’t miss a beat from start to finish. Needless to say, our pictures turned out perfect, and Lindsey was able to photograph our special day wonderfully! We still get compliments about how beautiful our photos are almost 5 years later! Lindsey was professional, empathetic, and a joy to work with. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

My name is Laura and I am bilingual (English/Spanish). I moved to Arizona in the beginning of 2022 from New Jersey. It has been bittersweet to redefine myself in a new state. One thing I absolutely refused to leave behind is my love for photography. I moved here with my husband for a change of speed. It has been such a beautiful change! Just like you, I too am in love with the views Arizona has to offer. I am a nontraditional wedding photographer, I am there for all the feels that come with your big day. The tears, the smiles, the laughs, the dancing... Moody, warm and candid photography. Photos to make you relive the moments later

Laura was everything and more we could have wanted in a photographer. She was professional, yet down to get goofy with us, stuck to our schedule, but was down to deviate from the plan and get flexible with our shots. She was wonderful with my friends and family and made an immediate impact on them. The sneak peek ten shots she sent (the MORNING after the wedding) were incredible and leave us SO excited for the rest. Couldn’t recommend her more! (Ps we were clients of Laura, the Zola app is glitched and states we were a vendor along side her)

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

Diana is the BEST! Neither my fiance nor I had great photos from our first wedding. So, after we got engaged and hired our wedding planner, I could not stress enough how important it was for us to hire the right photographer for our big day. Diana Ascarrunz was on the short list recommended to us by our wedding planner. After looking through at her website, I *knew* she was the perfect photographer for us and our wedding. I loved that her portfolio wasn’t filled with cis het couples that look like they all just stepped out of Vogue. These were real, beautiful, everyday couples from all walks of life. That was very important to me. When we got our ‘sneak peek’ photos back a few days after our wedding, I cried looking at them. She captured us and our love so beautifully. She was so easy to work with, crazy talented, professional, has an eye for detail and made me feel calm on our big day. She also did our engagement photos, which turned out equally as amazing, and we will absolutely use her again in the future for our family photos!

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.

Choosing Abby as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our destination wedding in Cabo. From the moment we met her for our engagement shoot, she made us feel like we were with family. Her warm demeanor and genuine enthusiasm instantly put us at ease, making every moment in front of the camera feel natural and relaxed. Abby's talent behind the lens is truly remarkable. She has a knack for capturing the most breathtaking moments, turning them into magazine-worthy photographs that we will cherish for a lifetime. Her attention to detail and creativity shone through in every shot, making each image a work of art. Not only is Abby incredibly skilled, but she also goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel comfortable and valued. Throughout the entire process, she treated us like she was our sister or someone we have known a lifetime making sure every photo reflected our personalities. If you're looking for a photographer who not only delivers stunning images but also creates an unforgettable experience, look no further than Abby. She exceeded all of our expectations and we couldn't be happier with the memories she captured on our special day. Beware you WILL be friends after your time with Abby!

I’m Monica Cassell, and I’m on a mission to ensure your photos are really damn good. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just choosing another vendor who’ll punch in and punch out. Hell no. You’re choosing a comprehensive client experience. I prioritize spending time with you, getting to know you individually and as a couple, and serving you in this season through engagement photos, recommendations, and anything else you might need. By the time you run through the sparkler tunnel to your getaway car, we’ll be so close you might just ask me to come with you (JK, unless it’s Disneyworld).

The communication was great with Monica and Tyler. They let us know before hand what we were going to do and helped out a lot during photos with things that they didn’t have to help with. They gave great and fun vibes to us for our wedding and during wedding. They made us feel comfortable while doing photos and videos. I hired Monica and Tyler because of their professionalism and great work we seen online. We definitely would recommend them for a Wedding or a lifetime experience.

McKenna exceeded all of our expectations as a wedding photographer! She was so easy to communicate with. She made us feel super comfortable getting our pictures taken, and got so many amazing shots! She is super talented and got so many unique photos of us that we will cherish forever. We had people rave about her at our wedding saying how well she did working with everyone and how she added such positive energy to our day. We could not be happier with our experience working with 1828 Collective and would 100% recommend her to anyone!

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

Irina is an awesome and experienced photographer which is helpful when you have no idea what to expect on your wedding day. She works with you and your coordinator to make sure you get the shots you want. She even recommended some based on previous weddings she did at our venue. The planning process was straightforward and her rates were reasonable. On the day of the wedding she helped us get ready and reassured us that everything would be okay. She never stopped taking pictures and captured some wonderful moments throughout the night. We anxiously awaited our photos and they turned out better than we expected. She did a wonderful job capturing all the important memories. All of the pictures were gorgeous and she really made you feel special. We definitely recommend her to anyone getting married in the Carlsbad area!

I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy? I believe in capturing the big moments, but the small moments too. I believe in being true to yourself and true to each other. I believe in capturing true emotions, both good and bad. I believe that photographs are keys that can unlock the past after years have gone by, and that looking at the past is how we move towards the future.

We would recommend Meghan for any photo events because she was such a joy to work with. It was incredibly easy to book and communicate with her leading up to the wedding. During our photo time she took charge and managed to direct our massive families for family portraits, and then caught some special moments during the reception when we didn’t even know she was watching. The finished photos are gorgeous and it didn’t take long to receive them all. We would recommend Meghan to anyone needing some photos.

I cannot recommend Justina enough. I started planning my wedding early, and was originally just looking for a photographer who was in my budget whose pictures I liked. I found Justina and fell in love with her style!! During the planning process, Justina and I had several meetings where we went over our timeline and shots my husband and I wanted. Justina was flexible and communicative the whole time. More importantly, I loved chatting with her and I felt like I was chatting with a friend. I felt like Justina really “got” me and what I was hoping for from our wedding pictures. After the wedding, Justina returned a HEFTY preview gallery with stunning pictures. There were some posed and some candids. I mean when I say I have never felt as beautiful as I do in those pictures.

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

We hadn’t picked a date or location and she helped us decide on all of that in a very short amount of time. The day of our elopement was very cold, rainy and windy but she made sure we had the best time and made the most of it. I swear you can’t even tell in the photos how horrible the weather was and I can’t even begin to explain how beautiful every photo is. We had the best day ever all thanks to Jaime.

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
After my (now) husband and I booked our venue we knew the next vendor that we needed to hire was a photographer. I was a semi crazy bride and I probably interviewed over 10 photographers. We were looking for someone who not only took gorgeous, bright photos but also someone we could personally connect to. As soon as we had our introductory call, we knew Kim was the one! She was so warm and thoughtful during our call - really trying to understand our love story and how we wanted our wedding to be like. I actually cried during our intro call - that's how safe I felt around her. About a couple months after we signed our contract, Kim reached out to schedule our engagement shoot. This is when my husband and I really got to connect with Kim and knew we 1000% made the right choice. Kim was super organized (which we loved) with scheduling the time, picking the location and coordinating the meet up. She made us feel so comfortable and she captured the most stunning photos. She kept us engaged and prompted questions and actions to make sure our engagement photos really captured who we were as a couple and didn't feel posed. She got to learn our goofy personalities and it was a great practice run for our big day. Now for our wedding ... omg I cannot put to words what amazing photos Kim and her team took. We just got our final gallery and it immediately brought us to tears. She was able to capture the perfect balance of posed photos but also candids. Her detail photos made it possible to re-live every moment of the day again. She also made sure we captured all our family portraits (even though they were super large). She truly felt like a best friend who was around during out most special day who just happened to also snap a lot of photos. Our bridal party loved having her around and we were all so comfortable. She made prepping for our wedding day as effortless and stress free as possible. Before our wedding we had calls to walk through our shot list, timelines. She was super engaged and organized - giving all the tips she could to keep us on track. She delivered our sneak peeks SO quickly. We had them a couple days after our wedding to enjoy and cry over them while we were on our honeymoon. She also delivered our final gallery within 2 months! I can't recommend Kim enough- she's not just a super talented photographer but she's also a beautiful soul who has truly become our friend through this whole process. Can't wait to keep re-living our wedding day through her photos!!

I'm also a HUUUUGE Detroit Red Wings fan, if you're into any of that, we'll get along great!

I'm also a firm believer in doing my part in making your wedding planning simpler for you, because let's face it wedding planning can be a bit overwhelming especially in the beginning. Also, weddings are stupid expensive and the moment you add the word "wedding" to anything the price jumps like 5x which is NOT COOL, and doesn't set couples up for success. So I try to keep my prices low. If you need help paying let me know!

Kelsey Sheehan Photography was founded in 2019. I made the jump into being a professional photographer to follow my heart and work in a career path that I love! When I am not working you can find me baking with country or 90s/00s R&B blasting, sitting by the fire with my neighbors, doing yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, or hiking with my family. Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.

Kelsey is one of a kind! We were a bit nervous about the engagement photoshoot and many things went wrong that day, but she managed to calm us down and put us in a right mood! She was there for us and made us enjoy the photoshoot so much. We had a blast! And then when we saw the pictures I almost cried-she captured such genuine moments. She is highly professional, friendly, accommodating, and just a fun person to be around. We loved our photoshoot so much that we ended up booking a wedding with her too! We highly recommend her services!

My heart burns with a fierce and undeniable love for photography. It's a passion that runs deep, rooted in the belief that every image has the power to speak to the soul and evoke emotions that can't be put into words. My love for capturing moments behind the lens encompasses all aspects of life. It's these moments of raw and genuine connection that ignite my soul and drive my creativity. Because to me, a photograph is not just about being aesthetically pleasing or technically perfect. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotions that can't be replicated, and the stories waiting to be told.

My Husband and I booked Viva for our wedding 4/23/2022 and engagement photos. We can't say enough about Dominique! Since the first day we met with her over zoom, after a word-of-mouth recommendation, to our engagement photos and most importantly our big day... she has been amazing! We knew she would be a great fit for us as we started talking with her. It was so important that we had a great bond with our photographer in order to avoid feeling uncomfortable when taking photos. She made it all feel like a breeze and we had so much fun at that! She made us laugh and showed interest in us as a couple, especially our individual quirks. We love how she was able to capture our pure, real, love in the images; all natural, nothing posed and fake. You can really see our individual personalities and chemistry with each other just by looking at the photos. Each image brings us back to one of the best days of our lives and all the events leading up to it. We thought it was impossible to stop time but Dominque has made it possible! Capturing life's most beautiful moments in a single shot! We love her and highly recommend her to anyone!!

Hiya, I am Vital (pronounces Vee-tal), and I am a 20 something guy with a camera in my hands and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall even more in love with my job. My fiancee and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel domestically and abroad, and I can't imagine life without photos. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I found Vital's beautiful photography through Instagram. As a photographer myself, finding the perfect photographer to capture our wedding in October was a tough decision. From the minute we contacted Vital he was friendly, professional and knew exactly what he was talking about. Vital's style is artistic and documentary and exactly what we were looking for. As part of our wedding package he included an engagement shoot. My husband and I aren't the best in front of a camera but he made us feel comfortable straight away and we had so much fun! The experience of the shoot was just as great of a memory as the photos we received from it. Having Vital shoot our engagement really put our minds at ease that we choose the right person for our wedding. The photos from our wedding were incredibly important to us and it was nice not worrying about them on our wedding day. Vital delivered close to 500 photos of our wedding which really captured every moment of the day. He even agreed to drive to another location after our reception to capture a few more photos for us, which we are truly grateful for. We are beyond happy with how the photos of our special day turned out. We've had so many compliments from family and friends and would definitely recommend him to other couples!

I LOVED THE IMAGES SO MUCH I KNEW WHO I WANTED TO SHOOT MY WEDDING ! 2 YEARS LATER I WAS ENGAGED AND ME AND JORD TALKED WITH ROB AND LYNDI AT A FAMILY MEMBERS WEDDING THEY WERE SHOOTING . WE KNEW AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH THEM THEY WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR US . IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO VIBE WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER / VIDEOGRAPHER SO YOU CAN REALLY EXPLAIN WHAT YOU WANT AND THEY CAN READ YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND PUT THAT FEELING INTO THE FINISHED PRODUCT. I FELL IN LOVE WITH ROBS WORK WHEN I SAW THE FIRST LOOK VIDEO HE HAD DONE FOR THIS FAMILY WEDDING . A FEW WEEKS LATER ME AND JORD DECIDED ‘ HEY LET’S GET MARRIED IN HAWAII CAUSE WHY NOT?! ‘ ….AND LET’S HAVE ROB AND LYNDI COME WITH US ! LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY! FROM OUR ENGAGEMENTS AND LOVE STORY VIDEO TO THE FIRST LOOK AND RECEPTION ,WE ARE IN LOVE WITH THE WAY OUR LOVE WAS CAPTURED. WE WANTED TO USE THE SAME PHOTO/VIDEO PEOPLE THROUGHOUT OUR EXPERIENCE TO ENSURE THE COVERAGE FLOWED NICELY TOGETHER . WE ALSO WANTED TO DO OUR DESTINATION WEDDING WITH PEOPLE WE TRUSTED . WE FLEW PEOPLE OUT WHO WE HAD A CONNECTION WITH, RATHER THAN FIND SOMEONE NEW ON THE ISLAND, AND WE ARE SO HAPPY WE DID IT THAT WAY! ROB AND LYNDI WERE INCREDIBLE TO WORK WITH THEY ARE SO TALENTED BUT ALSO SO FUN TO BE AROUND. THEY MAKE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED AND RECORDED A BETTER EXPERIENCE . I THINK THE BEST PART ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE WITH SUGAR RUSH IS HOW THEY PERFECTLY CAPTURED ME AND MY HUSBANDS RELATIONSHIP AND THE FEELING OF OUR WEDDING DAY. THEY TRULY GOT THE ESSENCE OF WHO WE ARE AND THAT MEANS SO MUCH ! ONE LAST THING . YOU WILL NEVER REGRET GETTING A WEDDING VIDEO DONE . EVER ! A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT VIDEO IS AND HOW MUCH YOU WILL WANT ONE AFTER THE DAY IS OVER . TO ME MY WEDDING VIDEO IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS MY PHOTOS . I GET TO RELIVE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE ANYTIME I WANT AND I CRY EVERY TIME I WATCH IT. PHOTO CAPTURES THE INDIVIDUAL MOMENTS AND VIDEO CAPTURES THE ENTIRE DAY. THEY ARE BOTH ESSENTIAL AND ROB AND LYNDI WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! WE LOVE SUGAR RUSH AND EVERYTHING THEY DO ! THANK YOU ROB AND LYNDI! LOVE, YOUR HAWAII COUPLE JOJO & LOLO

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

Anya is a highly talented photographer. I struggle with following simple directions, which may be due to the language barrier as English is not my native language. However, Anya was extremely patient with me.

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

Marla is a light of sunshine and would be an awesome pick for your photographer. She is creative and really makes sure she is getting the best shot for your day! Totally recommend!!!!

I love learning the little weird things about my couples and bringing out the corkiness. We all have it! If you like what you’re reading, maybe I'm the one!

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

Grace is an absolute dream to work with! No wonder that's her last name! She has an eye for details, and knows the best way to communicate certain things to get the perfect pose. I can't recommend her enough! It genuinely feels like you're hanging out with a great friend anytime you work with her. She's quick to get the cute and candid laughs and always makes you feel so beautiful. She's a true professional!

Hello! My name is Brenda and I've resided in SoCal all of my life. Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! 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
We hired Brenda for a small ceremony we had. She was great, she was sweet and I felt comfortable with her which is how I wanted to feel in our photos. She was patient and made the process of taking photos easy. I was amazed when she sent a few example photos the next day..they were all beautiful. I’m so excited to see the rest. Thankfully Brenda knew how to use zoom which was a huge help for us, she was quick to offer help and I appreciated that greatly. I know for sure if we ever need a photographer for anything else we would definitely use Brenda again.
