Aja and her team are a dedicated and detail-oriented destination wedding photo and video crew. Serving effortlessly chic and classic couples. Bold and Timeless through Traditional and Candid storytelling.

My sister-in-law used Bairly Media for her wedding and recommended them to me. I am so glad she did! Aja and her team are amazing! Aja was great to work with from the initial contact to explaining the different packages, to any additional things that we wanted last minute. My husband and I are both pretty camera shy and awkward, but Aja and her team gave us great direction during the engagement shoot and on our wedding day. We even got some sneak peeks back within the week! If anyone is thinking of booking, DO IT! Thank you so much for being such a huge part of our big day and capturing all of the special moments we'll remember forever!

I have worked with Miku a few times and I have to say, the qualities of her photographs is amazing of course, and her pictures give a dynamic but warm feeling which the clients were also satisfied. Her personality is very friendly and I think she has the skills to make the clients comfortable. Also, her posture toward work is great, she replies to messages fast so she is easy to work with. I hope to continue to work with her in the future.

Pawel and I have know each other for more years than either one of us care to admit. We met the old fashion way, in a bar and have been married for 10 amazing years. In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenn and Pawel Photography were the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we booked them, their communication was easy, friendly and professional. They felt like part of the family, working seamlessly with everyone to capture all the special moments. Jenn and Pawel have an amazing artistic eye, turning every setting into a work of art. They brought wonderful ideas, were never bossy, and just got the job done with enthusiasm. We couldn't be happier with the incredible photos that beautifully preserve the joy of our wedding day. Hands down, Jenn and Pawel are the best photographer team around!

Eli Holmes Photo + Film 

2.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Altadena, CA

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

Hello! I’m Savannah, the photographer behind Savannah Rose Photography. Photography started out as a fun hobby, but when I was 16 I decided to take a film class in high school and that’s when I realized “this is it”. I have been able to be a full time photographer for 8+ years. I love being able to use my passion for art and photography to help you create uniquely beautiful memories that you will enjoy for years to come. I am definitely guilty of being a bit of a perfectionist which ensures that I do everything I can to give you the best photography experience, whether it be portrait session or on your wedding day.

We have hired Savannah for all of our photography needs from our surprise proposal, engagement session, boudoir, wedding, anniversary, maternity, newborn & family! There is a reason we keep hiring her to capture such important events. She is simply the best at what she does! She captures the emotions perfectly & always delivers the best sessions! She’s great at direction poses and her editing style is always on point! She’s the only photographer we trust to always give us the pictures we want and she makes us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I recommend her to everyone I know and I look forward to our next session together!

I have traveled and photographed weddings and engagement shoots all over the country including internationally. I still get nervous before every wedding I photograph. If I didn’t have nervous tension, I probably would have lost the drive and passion for what I love doing the most. The reason for my love of wedding photography is simple: I love spending the day with brides and grooms creating wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. I hunt for moments that cannot be recreated or relived. I love capturing the raw emotion of a wedding day. I want to be the best not only for myself but especially for my clients.

Just book Peter! You won’t regret it. Super cool and personable from our visit video call with him. He was very flexible with our engagement shoot and generous with his time. Let me tell you…his vision!? Oh my. We have GORGEOUS photos from our engagement sesh as well as our wedding. I literally could not believe my eyes once I saw the photos! Anyone can take photos but Pete has the vision and artistic eye for epic photos! I cannot recommend him enough!

He is truly an expert in his craft , not only did he have great recommendations for the location, he was timely, friendly, & gave excellent direction on how we were to pose for each photo. We booked Albert for a pre-wedding photoshoot and honestly amidst all of the chaos and confusion that goes with wedding planning he was the one aspect that we did not have to second guess at all.

Jazmin was such an amazing photographer during our wedding. She went above and beyond SO many times, it blew me away. From agreeing to do our engagement photoshoot on a stormy cold, rainy day, to bringing specialized unique props for us to use. She continued to blow me away with her dedication to being exceptional and so friendly, sweet, and easygoing. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos were exceptional. She advertises herself as your BFF, and it really feels like it. You can tell she cares about her clients. On our wedding day, she also excelled, and we have beautiful photos, as well as film, and we just finalized our photo album with pictures from our engagement shoot as well as wedding. Jazmin included special shots I asked for such as a group photo, and artsy shots with bubbles in the forest. She was our favorite vendor hands down. They say the photographer should be one of the few vendors you splurge on, and we are SO happy we did. It was 100% worth every penny and more. I will recommend her to any of my friends getting married in the future.

We are Hayes and Bree, your San Diego wedding photo and video duo! In 2020, we met online, but were stunned that both of us had been capturing weddings through photography and videography separately for years! After getting married, we combined our businesses to create one where we not only get to continue doing what we love, but get to do it together. Whether it's a local wedding in San Diego or traveling to gorgeous spots like the European countryside, we would love for you to come along for the journey!

Bree and Hayes recently shot our engagement party and did an incredible job capturing our moment. They were extremely organized and made us feel at ease with a pre-event meeting where we went over all of the details. Their images were bright, natural, and the perfect mix of candid and posed. I would highly recommend them for any wedding or event that you're having, you will cherish the photos for a lifetime!

When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

As a wedding photographer myself, I have high and clear expectations when it comes to photography. Nadia & Gunnar are my go-to photography team when I need to hire a second photographer. I have the unique experience and privilege of hiring them again and again. I never have to worry about a thing when they are on my team. Both individuals are reliable, consistent, and creative. They always show up early. They are constantly pushing their craft and trying to learn new things. They are extremely detail oriented so couples never have to worry about looking their best. Quiet in nature, Nadia & Gunnar are a calming support system on what is otherwise a chaotic day. I trust them completely with my couples and with my couples' loved ones.

I initially had first hand experience with Jamaal's work while being in a good friend's wedding last year. A this wedding Jamaal was great. He paid attention to detail, was prompt and on time, didn't need to be told to capture certain moments, etc. When it came time for my big day, I knew I had the perfect person in mind. My wife and I decided to go the conservative route and have a small wedding w/ reception dinner at a restaurant. However, based on our wedding photo sneak peaks that Jamaal provided after; you would think it was a bigger wedding that what it actually was! Which is exactly what we wanted. He captured every moment perfect. My wife and I are happy to have worked with J. and hope to use him in the future for whatever occasion we have coming up next! Thank you again J!

We LOVE our engagement and wedding photos so so so much. There are so many amazing photos to choose from it makes it hard to post and print…. so I end up spamming IG and FB a lot lol. Ashley was great to work with and really made us feel so relaxed on our wedding day. We were nervous for the engagement session but it was a lot of fun and the end results came out so amazing that we had so much trust in her the day of the wedding. She got amazing photos of the scenery and of us both times. She was available for all my call requests the weeks leading up to the wedding and helped me plan the timeline so that everything flowed and worked really well. We ended up finishing our couple, bridal party, and family photos so quickly. It was such a great experience.

For us, it is all about documenting your day as it unfolds. We are believers that the best photographs come from letting everything flow. We don't believe in interrupting special moments to get a safe (posed) photo. On the contrary, we capture all moments: the fun, the crazy, the unexpected. We will get your dad in tears when he sees you in your wedding gown, and will also take your nephew in the middle of a tantrum. All that is part of your story. When you see your photos in 5 years, you will remember how your special day FELT and not only how it looked. You don't have to worry about photos, you just have to enjoy your day at the fullest.

Fernanda at Eyeblink is a total professional and she knows exactly how to give you space to enjoy to the moment and capture it as it's happening.

I am a full-time wedding photographer based in San Diego and first things first, I want you to know your wedding is a huge deal to me. As your wedding photographer, I'm your ultimate third-well and your right-hand-woman. I’m like your bridesmaid / groomslady with a camera. More than just a hired vendor, I’ll be your cheerleader, encourager, organizer, drink-getter, and the gal screaming “YAYYYY" because I’m so excited about the awesome photos we’re creating together. With the experience, knowledge, and expertise of photographing nearly 300 weddings, I am here with you every step of the way. Can’t wait to be along this journey with you!!!

Stop looking for photographers - you’ve found the best one!! Here’s why: 1. She’s a tremendously talented photographer. Kami does her research, keeps you relaxed/comfortable, and is super creative. She was extremely prepared for our engagement shoot and on our wedding day and achieved amazing results (look at her albums). On our wedding day, she positioned herself thoughtfully, and respectfully. 2. Kami is a true professional, super fun and keeps it light. She brings amazingly positive energy, is fun to be around (an absolute bundle of joy) and has a higher level of emotional intelligence than anyone we know. She made us so comfortable in our pictures which reflected in how much we loved how they turned out. 3. Kami is a leader in both her field and as a person. If you could create a perfect photographer (and person) to go through a pandemic with, it would be her. Throughout some of the most difficult times of the COVID-19 crisis, she was calm, empathetic and so committed to making sure we were doing well, even when we had to reschedule, etc. We talked to her multiple times about our situation and she not only made us feel better afterwards, but feel on top of the world. She was with us at the worst moments and of course at the best (our 7 person wedding). Take a second to reflect on the impact that the COVID-19 crisis had on photographers. 4. Kami is a great communicator. Always proactive, respectful, and timely You learn a little bit about a person during the good times, but you truly learn about a person through the worst of times. We’ve known Kami over the last 1.5 years including through the COVID-19 pandemic and have learned about how she is an amazing photographer (again look at her albums!!), but more importantly an amazing person. She will be with you through it all. Congratulations on finding your photographer (and likely a great friend)!

Allen Tsai 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $13,000
  • Serves Altadena, CA

Allen Tsai founded his namesake photography business in 2011, turning his passion for the art of photography and documenting poignant memories into a business. While he is based in Dallas, TX, he has covered destination weddings all over the world including Mexico, Caribbeans, Europe, and Asia. He brings a warm personality and professional spirit to his work with an airy, romantic, and dreamy aesthetic. If you’re looking for a rare balance of technical, aesthetic, and emotional skills in a photographer, you will find it in Tsai.

We are fortunate to have worked with Allen enough times to confidently recommend him as a fine art photographer (and a travel companion!). Our sessions span the entire globe; from our wedding in Los Cabos to the Sahara Desert! There is a certain essence and characteristic about Allen's work that kept us returning to his website and social media accounts. Before we knew it, Allen's portfolio ultimately became what we referenced other portfolios to which made him the obvious choice. And we can confidently say his portfolio reflects his true work. Our photos were nothing short of the quality he exemplifies across social media. Technical skills: In the business of fine art photography, we believe it is important to state that Allen is FILM PHOTOGRAPHER before he is a digital photographer. The reason we emphasize this is because we have used other "film photographers" who rely heavily on results from their digital camera and thus delivering an album high in digital shots. The albums we receive from Allen taught us to truly appreciate film photography. Allen's work has an essence of airiness. He is a master in working with light and shots are always in focus. He produces reliable and consistent results with a predictable high success rate (difficult for film photography). Other film photographers shoot a high number of shots with low yield results. Allen's style is tasteful and he pays great attention to detail. Allen also has a great relationship with the lab he uses to develop the pictures which is often overlooked. It seems like the lab has a deep understanding of Allen's aesthetics which translates well in his final product. As a wedding photographer: Allen's work ethics and level of care was much appreciated during the stressful process of planning a wedding. All of our wedding vendors mentioned how Allen is a team player and is someone they could rely on. We were confident in Allen's skills and level of work after he shot our engagement photos as part of the wedding package we booked. Not having to constantly worry about one of the most important parts of our wedding is priceless. Allen is professional, always on time, and makes sure we get caught up if we run behind on schedule. He was able to overcome unexpected obstacles and dealt with incorporative family members. Allen effectively communicated our vision to the other vendors. He is an excellent listener and fulfills all of our wants and needs. For couples looking to tie the knot locally, Allen is very familiar with all the top Dallas locations and perfect lighting depending on the time of day. People know him and are willing to take you more seriously as a client if they know you are working with him. Ultimately, all we need to say is we cannot book any other photographer. Much like his portfolio, the experience of having Allen as our photographer is the gold standard to which we compare other photographers to. It is always reassuring when pictures of our special day is still being shared and featured on social media two years later. Allen's work is truly timeless and the album service he offers does his pictures justice! We loved the array of options and how the finished product turned out.

Wow!! I can not sing enough praises about Jackie. We had the privilege of working with Jackie for our wedding and from the very beginning she was incredibly professional, personable, and we truly felt that she wanted to understand & capture our wedding as we had envisioned it. Her photographs online stood out to me from the beginning, but after meeting her - that sealed the deal for us. Although we had quite a few change of plans throughout 2020, Jackie was so encouraging, understanding, and worked with us as we rolled with the punches together. On our wedding day, Jackie was so on top of everything and made sure we had scheduled all the time we would need to capture those special moments with each other and with our families & friends. She is SO positive and makes you feel comfortable as yourself despite being behind a camera lens. Jackie quickly got us our photographs back and wow!! they totally exceeded all my expectations. She captured our day so above and beyond what we had hoped. I truly could not be happier with how they all came out!! It has been such a treasure to be able to look back at those photographs and immediately put myself back in those moments. All around she is THE BEST!!!

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

Words truly cannot capture how much we love Madeleine. From our very first interaction, it was clear we had found someone special to document our day. Madeleine's talent and passion shone through every moment we spent with her, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She expertly corralled our enormous family, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time, all while keeping us on schedule. In the midst of the whirlwind, she made us feel so beautiful and comfortable, even as we were being pulled in various directions. Her ability to blend professionalism with a warm, friendly demeanor kept us laughing throughout the day, easing any feelings of being overwhelmed. The photos she captured are pure magic. Each image tells a story, beautifully preserving the joy and love of our wedding day. Madeleine’s photos exude the exact emotions we felt throughout our day and I know we will cherish them forever. One of the hardest parts of the wedding being over is the realization that we won’t get to see Madeleine again. It feels like we gained a true friend throughout this process, and we now know exactly who to call to capture all of life's big events in the future. Thank you, Madeleine, for your incredible work and for making our day unforgettable! We love you so much!

Gleimlight did such a great job with our engagement photos, wedding photos and our wedding video. Everytime they sent photos I was always so extremely happy with their final products. They were sooo fast getting the images back to us too. They even would send me a sneak peek photo, which was so great to get. They really care and are so easy to work with. We didnt know the first thing about how to pose for photos and they told us exactly what we needed to do to make for great photos. I highly recommend them!

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Erin was just so easy to work with from the first point of communication on email prior to the wedding to tidying up before to during the wedding and after. It's a full service experience and she is just easy-going and great at capturing the moments! I even saw her dancing and enjoying herself during the Money Dance- so fun! Highly Recommend

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.
