Ditto Dianto Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Albany, CA

I'm a fine art wedding photographer based in Northern California and beyond. After discovering my love for photography, I always knew I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. I am so fortunate to call this my job for over five years! My photography work often describe as romantic, soft, bright and natural that lend itself from my love of film look and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two Tabbies. I would absolutely love to get to know you and be your photographer!

Ditto and his assistant showed up early and started taking amazing photos right off the bat. The pre-wedding communication was timely. He was easy to work with and brought calm energy to a day when stress can permeate the fun out of it. We immediately received a high volume, beautiful sneak peak the evening after the wedding which was a fun surprise and a great way to start our honeymoon admiring the gorgeous photos. If you are considering Ditto Diante Photography for your wedding, I would highly recommend him.

The Ganeys 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Albany, CA

I’ve always been the girl with the camera. In high school, my idea of a good time was planning photoshoots with my friends and editing our high school yearbook. But when I got to college, I felt like I needed to get a practical degree, so I chose the most creative business major I could find – marketing. Then I met Thomas. My photo hobby became something more because he recognized my passion and encouraged me to make it a reality. He’s been my second shooter since the very first wedding.

I've been putting off writing this review because I feel like no words can fully explain the amazing experience I had with the Ganeys. I first met Emily and Thomas when I was a bridesmaid in my friends' wedding in Florida, which the Ganeys were shooting! Based on that day and the resulting photos, I knew how talented this pair was and I REALLY wanted them for my own wedding. After getting engaged, I actually reached out to Emily before we even had a venue or date booked. Once they signed on to be our wedding photographers, my (already high) expectations were totally exceeded. I loved how organized, detailed-oriented, and responsive Emily was as we planned our engagement shoot and wedding day. At the engagement shoot, they did an amazing job including our 2 golden retrievers and shooting in sub-optimal weather conditions. Emily is so kind, thoughtful, and talented as a photographer, and Thomas is the secret ingredient that makes grooms everywhere feel at ease! This husband and wife team communicates so well and I believe that is part of the reason why they make their jobs look so effortless and fun on your wedding day and why the photos are so breathtaking. We can't wait to host Emily and Thomas at our house in a few weeks, and show off the way we've displayed their photos around the house!! I would be more than happy to share my full gallery and answer questions from any other brides/grooms considering the Ganeys.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

From the very beginning of planning my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, working with Grace was an absolute pleasure. She was not only receptive to my ideas but also shared her own equally creative suggestions. Grace's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple. Her creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses that felt incredibly natural. Grace's ability to put us at ease made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t say enough great things about Sarah! She’s a great photographer, but if you are looking for the type of photog to be your ride or die on your wedding day. She’s your girl. Sarah went above and beyond to help my husband and I in what can only be described as a spiral of unfortunate events. We were set to be married in December in Ohio when 11 days from our big day our venue burnt down. Very long story short..we decided to take our family and some of our friends down to the smoky mountains to get eloped to keep our original date because that’s where we got engaged. Sarah was my guardian angel. In less then 10 days She found us a open venue that would give us a time slot for a small ceremony! She put out posts to locals to help me find a hair/makeup team and a videographer on a very limited timeline. She calmed me down when two hair/makeup teams canceled on me the day before and the day of. Not to mention she fought crazy weather (that day the south had the biggest line of tornadoes in history) and literally kept me laughing through every single let down. Her, my best friend and I rode out the craziness of the day together. Most of all through hell and high water..she was there to capture what was left of my original wedding day. So down the road I could have memories to show my kids. And she’s agreed to continue to capture the moments this year at our redo wedding in Ohio. She’s literally the best. She’s not just my photog. She’s a forever kind of friend!

  • Serves Albany, CA

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
We really loved working with Roberta. She made the photo process fun and easy which is no small task when you're trying to line up family members just hours before your wedding. We had a second photographer so ended up with many photo options including the moments of each party getting ready! She blended into the crowd during the ceremony and reception so we never felt like we had cameras on us and were able to relax and enjoy each moment. Looking through our wedding photos was such a cool experience. Her photos are so special and each one truly represents a special memory and place in time. Would not hesitate to reccomend Roberta.

Awarded Best of Zola
When planning our wedding, photographer ranked the most important to us. We did intensive due-diligence and sourced hundreds of vendors in Northern and Southern CA. Ultimately, our favorite photographer of the vendors we looked at was Jasmine. It was an added bonus that she was local and already a recommended vendor for our venue (Villa Montalvo). Her talent was unmatched and her portfolio of soft, timeless, romantic images was high-quality. She photographed 2 engagement shoot sessions and our wedding. Jasmine has this very sweet and calming presence about her which was super appreciated. Jasmine was not only able to capture some immaculate shots during all our photoshoots, she captured stunning scenery photos as well- and made it so fun! On our wedding day, she was proficient, profound, and very detailed. She identified the best lighting, found the right angles, created great displays, and spotted timeless moments. Her visualization really is impressive-- and she brilliantly captures instances with such beauty and exquisiteness and makes it look effortless! On top of that, she is a wonderful person, respectable and down-to-earth. The wedding sneak-peek photos were impeccable - flawless, perfect photography that we will be sure to cherish our entire lifetime. Her precision and passion is easy to admire.

Real Connections. Raw Emotions. Candid Moments. 

 These are the values behind what we do. These three words are the heart and soul of our work and everything we do is based around adventure and authenticity. When you hire us, you are hiring photographers who truly care about the experience you will have on your day. We don’t mind getting a little dirty or wet. We don’t mind staying until after dark to get the perfect shot. We don’t mind the hikes, or the time in-between each event. We are truly there for you and to tell the story of your day exactly as it happens

I don’t even know where to begin to express how much we loved Candance and her husband Corey. My husband doesn’t easily warm up to new people, and he especially hates being the center of attention and hates taking photos. Both of the photographers made each of us feel so comfortable. We really felt like we had a great connection with them. Our engagement photos and our wedding photos are above and beyond what we could have hoped for. They are absolutely a work of art and you can tell that they love what they do. We absolutely believe that this team was meant to be a part of our lives and our big day. Even our wedding party told us how cool the photographers were. Thank you so much for being a part of our dream. We love you

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

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.

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.

Avery Wong Photography

  • Serves Albany, CA

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.

Specialising in crafting elegant visual narratives for local and global celebrations with a vision to capture the essence of your special day through the medium of storytelling.

Highly recommended Rob for your wedding. He helps make everything as stress-free as possible. From the initial Zoom call to coordinating on the day, Rob was always on hand to reassure you. Rob worked incredibly hard over a 12 hour day with multiple locations including the hotel in the morning and some very busy streets in Soho. He made sure we got all the family and group photos as well as the more candid moments we wanted throughout the day. Rob is not only a fantastic photographer who can translate your vision into reality but someone you can feel instantly comfortable around. Great for a couple who don't like their pictures being taken!
