Dzen Documentary

Los Gatos, CA
  • Editorial style

Hello My name is Andris Dzeguze I am a creative eye behind Dzen Documentary. I discovered my passion for photography in my grandfather's darkroom, and it has been an integral part of my identity. The ability to freeze moments in time and craft visual stories with light has captivated me for a long time. In my portfolio, you'll uncover what sets me apart: Showcased in publications such as Vanity Fair and Wall Street Journal Magazine. Featured photographer at NYC Fashion Week. Serving as a brand ambassador for a renowned camera brand. Engaged in impactful documentary art projects. Capturing the essence of weddings across the United States.

As a seasoned wedding photographer myself, I have had the privilege of working alongside Andris for the past three years. It has not just been a professional collaboration, he is a master in storytelling, artistry, and connecting with everyone he touches. Andris always arrives early for our weddings/events, meticulously setting up and ensuring that all details are perfect before the first click of the shutter. He has a very calm demeanor and is always a beacon of stability, even in the most unpredictable situations. Working with him has always been a joy. But Andris's talent goes far beyond punctuality and professionalism. He has an uncanny ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, transforming any moments into memorable snapshots of the client's special day. His artistic vision is unique, and he uses light (both natural and artificial), composition, and emotion to weave narratives that resonate deeply with our clients. Besides the technical know-how Andris possesses, he has a gift for connecting with people, which is a critical trait to have as a wedding photographer. His infectious smile and genuine warmth melt away any inhibitions, bringing out the smiles and genuine emotions that make videos and photographs truly come alive. He has a way of making everyone feel at ease, even the most camera-shy individuals. In short, working with Andris isn't just about capturing images, it is about capturing the essence of a moment, a feeling, a connection. His videos and photographs are not just visual records, they are portals to emotions, transporting you back to the laughter, the tears, the joy that made the day so special. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Andris to anyone seeking not just a skilled videographer or photographer, but an artist, a collaborator, and a friend. If you're looking for stunning visuals, infectious laughter, and a stress-free experience that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime, look no further.

Jenna Salvagin Photography

Warwick, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

We really loved working with Jenna and her assistants. We found Jenna through an LGBTQ Facebook group and we felt confident that our relationship and gender presentations would be celebrated. At the wedding, Jenna and her team went above and beyond, even helping with party prep when things went off schedule. She was lovely to communicate with and was so thoughtful in her preparation. Also, we just had a lot of fun together. Not to mention the photos are gorgeous -- beautifully composed and with incredible colors.

Thanks so much for stepping into my world of photography where capturing memories and emotions through the lens of my camera is a true passion. My journey as a photographer began in my teenage years when my Uncle, an avid photographer, sparked my love for the art by showing me the magic of capturing life's moments. With over 100 weddings under my belt as a lead photographer and mentorship from some of the Bay Area's top wedding photographers, I bring a wealth of experience to each and every shoot. My goal is always to produce images that are not just beautiful but also truly authentic.

We can’t rave enough about Hok! We have used him for several events now- engagement photos, our wedding, yearly photos and my sons first birthday. You know you have a wonderful photographer that even your guests make comments of how fantastic he was. He is always making sure he can capture the best photo by making noises to get the kids or dogs to laugh and look at him. He gets all the detailed shots that you never even through of! We have been so thrilled with the photos we received and highly recommend Hok.

Los Gatos, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

Changing Lives With One Click At A Time For me, witnessing a wedding is the greatest honor of being a photographer. Whether in rustic backyards or grand ballrooms, the greatest story is told through the couple and the lens that captures their most powerful moments. I take pride in skill, but most of all, commitment. Some say patience is a virtue; however, commitment transcends time. Commitment to my craft, commitment to honoring the couple, commitment to making their day one to remember. From the Monterey seas to the golden hills of Napa County, I travel to preserve memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Allan highly enough. He was the perfect person to capture my engagement, the greatest day of my life. His work is outstanding. He has an incredible attention to detail and made the entire process seamless and effortless. I appreciate all the direction he gave during the photo shoot. I’ve been around photographers that expect you to know how to pose, and not everyone knows how to do that. With Allan, you’re in the best of hands. You can trust his direction so that the final product is everything you want and more. You should definitely hire him, whatever your photography needs may be!

Mountain View, CA

Located in SF. As a Photographer; I'm a storyteller. My imagery captures a harmony of raw emotion, authentic evanescent moments, and curated artistry. I believe in camaraderie with my couples to create beautiful memories, love stories shared over wine & a fire-pit and giving back with each wedding I book. I champion for kindness and giving back. My couples echo this right back. They are stylish, authentic and plan amazing details but also know how to pop the champagne and head to the dance floor.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was my lucky day the day I met the Animus Art team at a bridal expo and won their free engagement photo shoot. When my (now) husband and I met with them over coffee (the way to their hearts, I found later) to talk about the shoot, I hadn't intended on choosing our wedding photographer then. We ended up loving their work so much...but more importantly, we fell in love with them as people. They have such a passion for what they do and for the people they work with, and it shows through in every conversation, every laugh, and every photo. My husband and I stayed after they left to discuss it, and we decided that day to choose them. We had lofty goals for our engagement shoot. We wanted to do a Pixar-inspired theme. I'm a perfectionist and had a vision of what I wanted. What we got was so much more. For our wedding photos...they captured moments I didn't know I needed. Some of my favorite shots are candid photos only their eyes would have seen. And once we found out we were pregnant, we immediately turned to them to not only help us capture the maternity and newborn moments, but the birth process as well. That's how close we've become with Pedro and Burcu...they were the only people we trusted to be in the room the moment our first child was born. The photographs are more than I could have hoped for, and looking at them brings tears to my eyes. They were able to capture so many emotions, and those photos are a gift I'll never be able to repay. I can't recommend them enough, and there aren't words for how much their dedication to those precious moments in our lives means to me. I can't imagine a special occasion without them...not only as photographers, but now as friends.

Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Sarah from Sarah Luther Photography. I specialize in weddings, family portraits and event photography. I started Sarah Luther Photography out of a passion for capturing love and emotion through photography. Growing up, my mom would always take tons of family pictures. I was given a camera as a gift when I was 10 years old and haven't been without one since. :)

Sarah and her husband Ori photographed our wedding in July and we couldn't be happier with our photos. They make a great team, professional and easy to work with. Amazing photographers who love what they do and its evident in their photos. We wanted more candid, natural pictures opposed to posed ones. They got so many unexpected moments and memorable shots. From getting ready, to the ceremony, to dancing at the receptions and everything in-between. All without even knowing that they were there taking pictures. We were so happy that we chose Sarah as our photographer and you will too!!! Thank You Sarah and Ori for photographing our wedding!!! Eydie & Rick

With a natural and organic approach to lighting and posing it's important to me that you have images that capture your happiness and all the emotions!

Quianna shot my engagement photos and wedding and I could not be happier with my photos and the overall experience! Quianna is an absolute master of her craft and has a serious love for photographing weddings that shines through in every interaction you have with her. My fiancé and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but I guarantee if you were an outsider looking in on our engagement/wedding shoots you would think we had done this a million times before! Quianna does an amazing job of providing direction on how to pose and her positive feedback and exclamations like "magic is happening!" made us feel so comfortable. We couldn't believe we actually had FUN taking so much many pictures and its all thanks to her. I could go on and on about how much I love Quianna and 100% recommend her for any photography needs.

Avery Wong Photography

San Bruno, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,700

I can tell you how I started shooting photos since I was a young wee lad, but that's what everyone else says and also it's not true. I didn't even pick up a camera until I was in high school. I'm the type of person who ignores convention and does it differently, my own way. Seldom the "right" way, but always the "Wong" way. My passion for creativity and my adeptness of the tech and the technical is what allows me to weave my craft and to produce art for my couples.

When my now husband and I were looking for a photographer, we made a tier list. After lots of weeding out of mediocre photographers, we narrowed our selections down to two. We resolved to contact the last two to see which one we wanted to go with. From the minute I first met Avery on zoom, I knew that I wanted to work with him. Not only are his photos phenomenal and extremely cinematic, they are somehow able to tell a story in the photo. I felt moved looking at some of his albums and I wondered how he was able to do that. When we actually got to working with him on our wedding day, I understood his process: He actually knows how to pose a model and gives clear instructions on where to put your hand, when to tilt head down, where to look, etc. This is what I was specifically looking for, as I've had some photographers who were just 'okay' that snapped away but gave no direction as to what to do. I think this is the mark of an excellent photographer and one who has clearly done many weddings. My butt looks great in all the photos. :) Also, I feel like I would qualify as a quirky bride, and he totally embraced that and took photos of my multiple plushies. That's a 100 in my book.

Nice to meet you, I am Sharyce. You are here which means you already know I like to take pictures. But WHY I take pictures is a different story. For nearly a decade I called myself a photographer because I picked up my camera occasionally and made some extra cash here and there. A version of myself now likes to look back and cringe at the photographer from a decade ago. However she (me) set the foundation for my career path today. When I became a mother I found that pictures had much more meaning behind them. Yes, I am going to go into the stereotypical photographers speil about “visual storytelling”.

I wish I could leave 10 stars. Sharyce has a knack for capturing those split second moments that you'll cherish for a lifetime. Her calming and friendly demeanor is exactly what you need to get those honest and emotional photos. I would recommend her to anyone! Stop your search, you've found the talent you're looking for.

  • Photojournalistic style

Life is full of amazing moments. Moments we want to hang onto tight, moments we want to never forget, moments we want to be able to re-experience anytime. There is a way to do just that - photography. How often have we looked at a photo and the whole memory comes flooding back? How often does a photo make us laugh or cry? When we share photos with others, they want to know more about the moment. We share the stories, and in doing so, we bring them in on the memory too.

Without Angela & James my wedding would have been postponed or cancelled. Angela gave me info to help my wedding possible in the time of COVID. And let me tell you... they are TRULY A BLESSING. The best investment we made for the wedding was photography. I told my husband that was something I would not budge on and I’m glad I didn’t, Angela and James became like friends to us. I text Angela on the holidays and even when my son was born! They pay so much attention to detail that looking back at my photos they captured moments that I didn’t even realize were a part of my wedding. Their turnaround time is remarkable, all the sneak peaks made me want to see more and more and when I got the final photos I was in awe of all of them. Thank you to Angela & James for capturing the beautiful moments of our wedding!!!! Such genuine people and I’m glad that we met them and built a friendship!!!!

My name is Brittani and photography is my ARTlet. Inspired by the constant flow of love and energy of the world, I photograph people who value authenticity and connection. I reside in San Jose, but with the heart of the adventurer, I'm always ready to grab my backpack and go.

Brittani was recommended to us by our planner, Dumi Gordon — and I’m so glad we went with her. From start to finish, Brittani was a consummate processional. She’s communicative, empathetic, and very talented. On the day of she was calm, upbeat, and efficient. Everyone loved working with her, from our wedding party to family and guests. Brittani is especially good at making her subjects look and feel natural- not always an easy feat at a wedding! Her 2nd photographer, Lahni, was also great! We’ve already seen our sneak photos (Brittani sent them ahead of schedule) and they are gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the rest (I know they will be surpass our already high expectations).

We wanted a more photo journalistic style so got a good number of those, along with posed shots.

Connie was amazing! We can't stop raving about her. She was so easy to work with. What started off as an elopement at the park turned into a micro wedding before we knew it. Connie made it so easy to work with us on our date and the last minute changes of shooting a micro wedding. She helped create a vision board for specific shots we wanted for the day of. I really don't like taking photos because I feel awkward, but Connie was able to give me direction on how to hold my bouquet and different angles. The best part, she was able to capture candid photos of our son throughout the ceremony. Her turnaround time along with the teasers came in a very timely manner and there was clear communication throughout the process of working with her.

Awarded Best of Zola
Aladdin films will make a lasting impression on you. They were referred to me by my mother's friend, and the way she described their approach to the shooting and customer service was just wow. My experience was no different, even better I would say. The first thing we noticed was that both photographer and videographer arrived earlier, so they would get enough footage for getting ready photos. The photographer was very professional, he would always point out if we posed in the wrong way, and there was no awkwardness when he took pictures of us. He would always lead us to where the best location to shoot, and which pose is the best. If I had ideas for a picture I would like to have, he would understand me and take the exact picture I wanted! The Videographer was very creative, he used wireless microphones to capture our voices when we were reading our letters to each other prior to the ceremony, and our wows during the ceremony. In the final video, we could hear our voices so clearly, as if we were recorded in a studio. Both of them decided to capture our wedding day as it was, we weren't bothered with extra posing that we did not need, and everything went flawlessly. And the end result was … I can’t express it other than IDEAL. We watched the video with our best man and maid of honor, we were all speechless! Aladdin Films filmed and edited our video in a way that I felt the whole spectrum of emotions that I felt that day. It’s unbelievable. The only advice I want to give to couples that are thinking of ordering their service is to reach out to them ASAP since your date may not be available anymore. We recommended them to my sister and 4 other friends and siblings that will marry this year and the next year. We’re looking forward to meeting you at my sister’s wedding!

Before my engagement pictures, I was like most men that thought any photographer will do.. but boy did I get proven wrong. After going over his portfolio and discussing my fiancé’s ideas for pictures, I started to think photographer were somewhat important… but boy did my opinion change again.. I didn’t understand his true talent until my personal experience with him. Not only did he save the day by changing our location due to horrible weather at our desire location, but he also use the weather as a statement to some of the pictures. Living in Las Vegas, we wanted a more natural environment that did not contain the city lights, and he delivered. Not only did he use all the poses that we pre-requested (which shows his attention to detail and organizational skills), he also thought outside the box by creating ideas in the moment with things around the new location. He constantly said jokes and made us laugh to assure we looked as happy as possible in every photos. Even when we requested and suggested different poses and features to be included in the moment, he always took those pictures and built from those idea to other amazing photos. Just when I thought we did a great job finishing the photo shoot as the rain began poring, I got proven wrong again. As we drove away from the now raining location, he found a rainbow where he asked if we would be willing to pull over and get a little wet for the money shot— and boy was that a MONEY SHOT like Jordan. Not only was the picture perfect, but simply remembering the experience of capturing that moment makes it that much more special. This is indeed my favorite picture and most people do not believe that we lived that experience because we look “photoshopped.” I know this is getting long, but I need to share that his editing skills are on point. He definitely edits to customers’ preferences, and he makes a good picture look great, and a great picture look phenomenal. Did I mention that he gets straight to work on his editing that we received an handful in less than 24 hours, and our whole portfolio in less than 2 weeks. Although the the price may sound expensive at first my guys, he definitely deserves that amount. His craft, creativity and passion for capturing your stories makes him worth every cent.

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac and Love Knot Photography shot our wedding and they did an amazing job. After interviewing several photographers, we decided to choose Isaac and his team because he had the best portfolio, was very professional and friendly and he was well organized. The photos turned out so great, we really love the candids and portraits. Between taking amazing photos, they also helped out with a number of things throughout the wedding day. Isaac looked up a youtube how to fold a pocket square then the question was raised. He is very fun to have around and we appreciate all the effort he put into helping us have a great day. The photos tell the story of our day perfectly and we can't thank Love Knot and Isaac enough. We will be reliving our wedding day through these pictures and the collection is beautiful!

Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

So where do I start?! Lead and his team are the most professional, passionate, skilled, and accommodating photographer/videographer. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer on the most important day of our lives. They took so much time to incorporate everything we could want in our wedding photos and they even took the time to edit some multiple amazing videos with the footage. They were patient and they made us feel comfortable and supported during the night and we had a blast as well. On top of all that, he knew how to capture well our love story. His team is amazing and they provided a high quality, welcoming, amazing photography experience. I'd recommend their work for any event you'd like to capture precious moment's in! They were worth more than every cent we spent! Again, thank you so so much Ledd and team. We will treasure these photos forever.

My name is Anna and I’m your Queen Bee here at Hey Honey Photography! I am a wedding photographer and love helping couples celebrate! I serve couples local to Northern California, but will hop on a plane for you in a heartbeat. Whether it's a big or small celebration, I'm your gal - basically your professional bridesmaid with camera in hand 😉. I love capturing the unique chemistry between couples and ultimately the je ne sais quoi of you. I believe that storytelling makes the world go ‘round, thus it gives me such great joy to be a part of telling yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Anna is an AMAZING photographer. I was loosing hope finding a photographer for my wedding and discovering Anna was the BEST decision I ever made. Not only is she personable but she is so kind and she will go ABOVE AND BEYOND for your photo needs. I knew when I was filling out her inquiry form that she was the photographer for me when I saw Chuck and Blair (CHAIR FTW from gossip girl) on her form. She was very prompt in everything she does and she started off with calling me and getting to know me and all about my wedding. Throughout the preparation process she was there for me for even NON photo needs. She felt like a best friend who is so supportive. We had an AMAZING engagement at Muir Woods and my husband and I was very nervous because we never done a photo shoot before and we are two awkward turtles LOL, but once again, Anna came through and walked us through all the INSTAGRAM-WORTHY photos. We were slaying lol There were many moments we laughed and we had a great time. After the shoot she uploaded all the photos for us in a gallery for us to view and purchase if we like. GOSH we loved the photos. Honestly, after your wedding, and your big moment, photos are what you can look back on because video formats are always changing but printed photos can last centuries to come. On the day of the wedding, Anna was WELL PREPARED (she is a godsend) and she had one other photographer with her (also named Anna) and both of them made us feel so comfortable even though we were running a little bit behind the schedule. After the wedding (This made me cry [tears of joy of course[) but Anna surprised us with printed Polaroids of the wedding photos she took. I CRIED, my Best friends Cried, we all Cried. It was definitely a bittersweet moment because I wish I can be with Anna more. When we were planning the wedding album she sent me a draft and I just approved it because I thought it as good, but Anna was like nononono somethings up there was no comments.TBH i was so happy with her work, any layout is beautiful lolI. It felt SURREAL when the actual album was delivered by FEDEX. My best friends happened to be there when it was delivered and we were in tears again gushing about our happy day..... The album was SO HIGH QUALITY. IT WAS LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR HEIRLOOM. Leather bound, pages were THICC (yes with 2 C's) and I was just BLOWN AWAY (yet again) by Anna's quality even till the VERY END!!!!! I will DEFINITELY hire Anna again for any future photos like Christmas photos, anniversary photos, Boudoir shot, ANYTHING!!!! This woman is AMAZING and I have nothing but good things to say about her. Anna you are truly amazing and I hope nothing but good for your small business. Love Greg, and Mimi

My approach to wedding photography is one part editorial and one part sentimental candids. I want to capture all the details you have chosen to have on your wedding day and all the guests you have invited to share this moment. You will have a fun & joyful experience and receive natural-looking, artful photos that look like they belong in a magazine. My edit is a bright, true-to-color crisp edit. I care deeply about skin tones looking true to life, and my edit is centered around that.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin with Ashley? If you stop reading now, just know you should hire her. SHE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST! I'm a big advocate for hiring wedding vendors who are talented, are good people, and who I personally connect with. There was no doubt that Ashley checked those boxes and more. Ashley has an infectious positive personality. She is sweet, passionate, caring, kind, communicative, professional, fun, has a heart of gold and without question, talented. My husband and I have never taken professional photos before our engagement shoot with Ashley and were nervous about how "awkward" we would feel or look in front of the camera. If you are like us, do not worry, because Ashley truly has the gift of making everyone feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera from the start. Her work is breathtaking (literally when I opened our engagement photos and wedding sneak peaks -which she gave us in less than 24 hours!- she took my breath away). Her photography perfectly captures the genuine love, happiness, and personality of each couple. She is who you want capturing your life’s most precious moments. Why? Because her photos make you fall in love with your love all over again and will let you hang on to that “just married” feeling forever (speaking from experience here) As for our guests - let’s just say every single guest from our wedding was raving about Ashley! I could go on and on about Ashley, but in summary, I will recommend Ashley over and over again. She is the photographer that we will choose forever to capture the most important milestones in our lives. Ashley, you’re our photographer and friend for life. Thank you so much for capturing our love, joy, and happiness!

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

Lerina was so easy to work with from the start! She quickly responded to our inquiry, and in our call, it was easy to decide that she was the wedding photographer we wanted to work with. We already knew that we loved her aesthetic. So when communication and logistics were easy, we were confident about working with her. Our wedding was scheduled for June 2020. We were really bummed about significantly downsizing to a small wedding in the last minute, but vendors like Lerina made the day so incredibly special. Lerina flew across the country to South Carolina to capture our small wedding. One year later, she and her assistant, Danny, flew out again to shoot our larger one-year anniversary renewal of vows. Throughout all the uncertainty, Lerina was easy to communicate with and incredibly reasonable with adapting the contract and rescheduling amidst the unprecedented circumstances. In retrospect, we were so blessed to get to know Lerina and Danny as well as we did because of the extended time of working together. They hold special places in our hearts and working with them was like working with dear, fun friends. They even accepted our invitation to our Low Country Boil rehearsal dinner and were wonderful with engaging our 2-year-old niece during photographing. We had such a blast together. Lerina helped us to feel natural in our photos and her images captured the love, joy, and beauty that filled our celebrations.

Cassie and her team understood the assignment to a tee. We had described an album that contained a lot of candids so that we could look back and review the photos and remember the environment that was our wedding. She sat back, gave very little direction, and as a result captured everything as it was. We are so happy with the photos. There is no other photographer I would recommend.

Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few awesomely unique shots on top of it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kathryn was so great to work with! I am overly easy-going and did not have a clear idea of what I wanted for photos for my engagement and wedding, but once I saw Kathryn's photos from other events I was sure I wanted her! Her photos show so much personality and are so vibrant, she gave me a sneak peak of the wedding photos just days after the wedding and it got me so excited to see the rest and made me 100% sure I chose the right photographer for my 'big day'. She came up to Humboldt County, CA for our engagement shoot and we did an adventure style session, we hiked all around the College Cove forest and beach and she had both my husband and I feeling very comfortable in front of the camera (neither of us usually would be). The photos came out so beautifully and there are so many to chose from and love. Her assistant was also great! My wedding was pretty un-organized but everything came together so perfectly at the end. She was very understanding when my payment had to come in small portions as well because my Zelle app wasn't working properly. Pretty much all I told her was that I wanted 90% candid in the moment photos and just a few family portraits on top of our couple portraits. I was very grateful that all I had to do was give her a few sentences of what I knew I wanted and she gave her all to give me what I wanted and more! I would 100% chose her over and over again to photograph our events!

I'm Hannah, a full time wedding and portrait photographer in Livermore, California. To me, photography is so much more than just hiring another vendor. And that's why you should choose someone you truly love to work with! I believe the real magic happens during the in-between moments – a secret smile shared by the parents; a tearful hug with the maid of honor; a quirky moment with the best man. These memories are far more precious than any staged photo, and these are the memories I want to capture for you on your big day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Picking a wedding photographer is likely the most challenging vendor, many of your wedding memories are in their hands. My husband and I Zoom-interviewed countless photographers and we immediately cancelled every other interview / photographer hold after getting off our call with Hannah. Even over video, we felt like old friends. Throughout the wedding preparation process, we met and took photos with Hannah to get to know each other in person. We had a great time hanging out, making jokes, and all the while, getting outstanding "engagement" photos (we had already sent out a save-the-date). Hannah was also an expert at wrangling our pup, who loved to sniff and ignore the camera. Leading up to our wedding, she shared really helpful tools, which assisted us in outlining our wedding day and advising other vendors. Hannah checked in on us and regularly met with us over Zoom to make sure we were all on track. Unlike some of our other prep calls, we really looked forward to our prep sessions with Hannah. The day of our wedding, Hannah went out of her way to make it a success. When our florist insisted on delivering flowers later, Hannah picked up an extra bouquet to photograph with our details. She has an impressive wedding industry history, so she actually knew one of our vendors already and despite meeting the rest of the first time, she seamlessly flowed with all of them. She immediatley went to work with our wedding coordinator, but also adding to the camraderie and fun of "getting ready". She even advised and dealt with our very challenging videographer, who consistently got in her way. I can't imagine having anyone else so intimately involved with our wedding day as Hannah. I was looking forward to 1:1 moments with my husband the most, and Hannah made sure to prioritize those moments for us, capturing every ounce of excitement and bliss. Those moments are my most treasured of the day, and I actually really enjoyed having her there for them, because she is such a special person (and now friend)! She knows exactly how to handle anything thrown at her on wedding day. I can't recommend Hannah enough for your wedding experience. If you're looking for a truly special memory of your day, you will not only come out with hundreds of incredible photos, but you'll leave with a great new friend.

If you're looking for an AMAZING photographer that is kind and cares so deeply to make sure you get the photos of your dreams, you found her! Jasmine is literally so kind. I honestly think the best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Jasmine as our photographer. Before booking, Jasmine wanted to meet us via google meets to get to know each other before we made the decision of booking her. She asked for our love story and what we hope out of our wedding photos, and boy did she hit it right on the nail! She did an amazing job getting us photos we will cherish forever. She also told us her thoughts on having a first look (we were against it at first), and we decided to take her advice. Our first look was my favorite part of the entire wedding! A few days after our wedding, she gave us our sneak peeks, it was the PERFECT amount to keep us satisfied until we got the rest and of course they did not disappoint. We immediately printed out photos for our living room and printed out family portraits for each of our parents. When I think back to all the best parts of my wedding, Jasmine's photos captured it all for me. Thank you Jasmine for being the best photographer.

No matter who you are or where you came from, everyone has a story, and stories were meant to be told. I tell stories through photography. Weddings are incredibly meaningful and intimate. I’m not just someone with a camera who shows up and takes pictures. I believe in truly connecting and engaging with my clients so I can best understand how I can tell their story. With a bright, clean, and vibrant photography style, I help bring my client’s vision to life through beautiful photos that can be cherished forever.

Jon creates beautiful art with his photography. I love his professionalism and prompt deliverables.

I am an irreverent guy who just so happens to create beautiful-rich-vibrant-uniquely-authentic wedding photography in and around the Bay Area, all over California and anywhere there’s beautiful light.

We couldn't imagine having a better photographer for our wedding than Russ. He's such a professional, took absolutely stunning photos for us, and got the photos back to us lightning fast. If he's available for your date, book him fast before he's taken! We had previously used Russ for our engagement photoshoot at SF MOMA and loved the way the photos came out. With the pandemic making a full wedding tricky, we chose to switch to a micro-wedding, with a few onsite guests and more on Zoom, down in southern California (Malibu) and Russ agreed to drive down from the Bay Area to shoot it for us. He arrived early and covid safe in an N95 mask. He's great at putting you at ease all day. We also love that he mostly uses a photojournalistic/candid style that documents everything but doesn't get in the way of your wedding with lots of distractions and staged photos. He takes colorful and sharp photos that really capture the moment and make you look great and feel like a moviestar.

I’m telling a story, specifically your story. I’m invested in my couples and want to know them to best document the romance between two people. I’m also direct and loud to get your wild family together for those group shots. My promise is that you’ll leave this experience more in love.

Tylar took our photos for our engagement and our wedding back in 2019. Since then, she has captured so many other moments in our lives. From anniversaries to photos for my small business. Our home is full of her work! She is so fun to work with! The ultimate hype girl and truly has an eye for the perfect shot. We clearly love her and her work and keep coming back for more!

My husband and I found Jade over a year ago while we were looking for a wedding photographer and her work caught our eye. She was the kindest person ever and so understanding and patient with us and what we were looking for. We loved her work so much that I recommended her to my best friend for her wedding just this past October! She did incredible work with her as well!
