Shane was an absolute *lifesaver* for our last-minute booking, and we couldn’t be more thrilled he was available for our big day. From start to finish, his communication was impeccable—not just with us but with all our vendors, making everything flow seamlessly. His warm and friendly demeanor immediately put everyone at ease, and he managed to bring out the best in even our quirkiest family members. Shane was so flexible and fun, which was perfect for a couple of self-proclaimed dorky punks like us. The final photos are breathtaking. Honestly, we look like we stepped straight out of a magazine! Shane captured every moment with such artistry and made each location we visited feel like a dream. These are memories I will cherish for the rest of my life. Our family adored him, and we can’t recommend Shane enough. If you’re looking for someone who is not only a talented photographer but also a joy to work with, Shane is your guy.

We found Kristen Campbell Photography on Zola and absolutely fell in love! We reached out to Kristen before we even found a wedding planner or chose a date. From the very first interaction, she exceeded our expectations. During our initial consultation, Kristen made us feel so at peace with the decision to hire her to capture our wedding day. She was incredibly transparent about the details and pricing, and the contract process was simple and stress-free! Every vendor we connected with was SO excited when they found out Kristen was capturing our day, and each of them shared how much they loved working with her. Throughout the planning process, Kristen checked in with us regularly, always professional and genuinely excited for our big day. By the time the wedding week arrived, we couldn’t wait to finally meet her in person. Kristen photographed our welcome party and her warm and friendly personality immediately put us at ease. My husband had never taken professional photos before, but she made him feel so confident and guided both of us with clear, easy instructions. She captured our welcome party beautifully and was so gracious and lovely throughout the evening. After that experience, we were even more excited for the wedding day. On our wedding day, Kristen absolutely blew us away. She was timely, organized, and brought so much joy and positivity to the day. Beforehand, she talked through lighting and timing with us, providing recommendations for the best photo locations and schedule. We trusted her completely and were so glad we did—her instincts were spot on! Wedding photos can take time, but Kristen made the process genuinely FUN. Couples' photos, in particular, were one of our favorite parts of the day because of how relaxed and enjoyable she made it. Family and wedding party photos were equally seamless thanks to Kristen’s thorough preparation and attention to detail—she made sure everything was perfectly organized ahead of time. Our family, friends, and wedding party couldn’t stop raving about Kristen. Her positivity and professionalism left such a lasting impression on everyone. She truly brought so much joy to our day, and we are so incredibly grateful for that. While on our honeymoon, we received our sneak peek photos, and WOW—talk about a highlight of the trip! We couldn’t stop looking through them in our hotel room. Kristen delivered so many sneak peeks, and every single one was absolutely stunning. From couples' portraits to candids, family shots, wedding party photos, and intricate details—each image took our breath away. Kristen captured every moment so beautifully, and we’re thrilled with how perfectly she documented the love and joy of our day. The lighting and style of her photography were flawless, but even more than that, we love how genuine each moment feels in her work. Kristen, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with you, and we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Your work is a priceless gift, and we cannot recommend you highly enough!

Your wedding day is filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I’m here to capture them in a way that feels natural, effortless, and truly you. With a calm presence and an eye for storytelling, I focus on the real, unscripted moments—the quiet hand squeezes, the deep belly laughs, the happy tears—so you can relive them for years to come. My approach is simple: Be a steady, supportive presence, document your day with care, and make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you're camera-shy or love being in the spotlight, I'll guide when needed and step back when the magic happens naturally.

As a fellow professional in the wedding photo industry, Eli is the only person I trusted to take my wedding photos. He is kind, trustworthy, and a true artist that treats every wedding like it's worth photographing. There are too many people in this industry who will treat your wedding like just another job, Eli is NOT one of those people. Booking with Eli is something we will be happy we did for the rest of our lives, the photos are a part of our home, and bring a smile each and every time we look at them.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Aptos, CA for additional fees

What do you imagine your wedding to be like? Imagination is a nice gift we have. It helps us building our identities and shaping our individual uniqueness. Imagining carries a degree of anticipation, depending on our past experiences and who we are, of how something that hasn't happened yet is going to be when it actually happens. Like traveling to a place where we've never been before and we take photos of its landscapes and people living there: we tend to capture in those photographs how we had imagined that place. A wedding is a destination in the journey of life, perhaps the most important one.

Awarded Best of Zola
Salvatore was absolutely phenomenal! He requested a photo shoot list and he nailed every single thing I had on there. He was so easy to work with. If he had an idea for a picture he would ask if me or my now husband would be run it by us or vice versa. The photos came back absolutely beautiful! 10/10 would definitely recommend him for your wedding or any other event! Thank you again, Salvatore!

I reached out to Stef a couple of days before my last-minute City Hall ceremony scheduled for 9:30am on a Friday. That’s too early and too last-minute for many wedding photographers, but Stef was such a great sport. She took a few posed photos of the group then followed us on a walk up the Bowery and through Chinatown to get to our brunch spot, snapping fantastic documentary-style photos all along the way. We wanted to remember the moment for what it was, without staging shots. The photos were exactly what we hoped for.

Shooting with them literally feels like hanging with your best friends. They were an absolute joy from start to finish, but it was Sharayah’s attention to detail and artistic eye that impressed me above all else. It was inspiring to feel like we were all creating art together, and the photos don’t lie! Our engagement shoot went viral on Instagram, and we got hundreds of comments saying, “these are literally the best engagement photos I’ve ever seen.” I too, agree with that sentiment, but I have to give credit to Hereafter’s vision and execution because they NAILED it. As a team, they’re both extremely communicative and organized, professional yet relaxed in the way they interacted with us and our guests. No one has ever made me feel so comfortable in front of a camera. Additionally, their digital color grading is meticulously adjusted to match 35mm film with incredibly accuracy. They perfectly captured the magic of our special day. We booked them for the whole package - engagement shoot, wedding photos, and wedding video with super 8 film. Their understanding of my vision was remarkable…Hereafter managed to romanticize every single detail in a profound way. The photos are so special to us because each one feels like a standalone piece of art. They went above and beyond for us in every capacity, even going so far as to drive me to the venue on my wedding day when things ran late! We cannot recommend Hereafter Films highly enough. Book them immediately! I promise you, they are worth every single penny and more.

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids.

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I live in Oregon with my two cats Clara & Leonardo and about a hundred tropical plants 😆🪴 I love exploring the Pacific Northwest, but I’ve also been able to travel throughout the states and overseas. I’m a huge national parks nerd, a sci-fi enthusiast, and a vintage collector with a serious thrifting addiction.

At the start of my photographer search, I chatted with several different companies to ask my questions. Naomi blew everyone else out of the water and I just clicked with her right away. And it only got better as the journey kept going. She stayed in touch as it got closer to our event date, she offered suggestions, and made sure I didn't need any additional help on the coordination side of things. Now... let's get to the best part, the photo shoot!! OH MY LAWDDDD the pictures came out more dreamy than I could have ever imagined. She has such a great eye for what a good shot will be, isn't afraid to get down and dirty (and maybe accidentally end up in a creek to get the shot), and knows the poses that, to you feel weird, but to the camera, look gorgeous!! Our photos look like they belong in a magazine. She is so talented!!! There's so much more I could say, and I feel like what I have said still just doesn't do her justice. She's the best. Don't go with anyone else!!

Jaime is such an amazing photographer. As someone who has never felt very photogenic, she did such a wonderful job making me feel beautiful and capturing truly genuine photos. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

If you would have known me growing up, you would have been surprised if I didn’t become a photographer! I fell in love with photography after spending countless hours in the darkroom. Since 2008, I have been working professionally in the photography industry and have shot over 300 weddings and numerous other assignments in almost every genre of photography. Why Weddings? I love problem solving and puzzles, and I’m always up for a good challenge. For me, a wedding is a day full of all of the things that I love. Its basically a whole day of coming up with solutions to make the best photographs for my couples.

Lisa did an incredible job of photographing our wedding and we couldn't recommend her more highly. She was super professional and responsive in the lead-up to the wedding, and on wedding day, she was organized, calm, and efficient, which we really appreciated given how much was going on that day. She brings a ton of experience and a real eye for detail and lighting, which we thought really showed in her photos -- they were beautiful!!! Our wedding day was a whirlwind, and while we loved it, it went by just as quickly as everyone said it would. When we got our photos from Lisa (which she delivered faster than expected), it gave us the chance to relive the day, plus see so many other small moments going on between people at the wedding we hadn’t been able to see. Choosing to work with her was one of the best decisions we made -- we will cherish the photos for the rest of our lives! Also, we decided relatively last-minute to schedule an engagement photo shoot with Lisa at SF City Hall, and she was kind enough to accommodate us on pretty short notice. Her experience showed here too -- she knew the best spots to seek out in the building, and the photos are beautiful and personal even though City Hall can get so busy with people. Both my wife and I are not the most comfortable being photographed, but she was patient in walking us through how to stand and showed us our photos to help us understand why she was giving us the instructions she was. She was so dedicated to getting the best possible shots, and that really came through in the photos. As mentioned above, we can't recommend her more highly!
