  • Serves Aptos, CA for additional fees

Hey, I'm Adrian! I'm a wedding and elopement photographer specializing in creative photos for lighthearted couples and their loved ones. I focus on you, your family, and an un-boring retelling of the day's events - wherever they may take place - because you deserve photos that are elevated, not stuffy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Adrian and her wedding photography was outstanding. From our first meeting, she helped guide us and felt like an unofficial wedding planner. We loved her artistic approach to photography and attention to detail. As a couple not known for their modeling skills, Adrian made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The moments she captured felt genuine, not staged. She was so attentive to us during our wedding day, anticipating our needs before we even knew what we needed! Adrian was able to tactfully guide a room of busy, jittery people and kept us all on schedule. Be reassured that if you book Adrian for your wedding, you will be taken care of and get amazing photos in return!

I can't recommend Shane O'Neill Wedding Photography enough! Had a fantastic experience with Shane and we love our photos. From our first interaction and throughout the process he was professional, prepared, enthusiastic, responsive, and open to our ideas and input. He checked in regularly with us and initiated phone calls to discuss our style preferences and plans for the day. He also took the lead on logistics for our post ceremony photo locations, all we had to do was tell him our dream photo ideas and he made it work within our time frame. He even helped us find the location of my parent's wedding photo to re-create the shot :) Throughout the day he kept things moving and super fun. We both felt comfortable in front of his camera and trusted him and his vision completely. He shared sneak peaks with us the next day and continued to send peaks until our final gallery was ready. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Shane!

From the very beginning, Kristen made us feel comfortable. She was able to take charge when it rained on our wedding day and delayed the ceremony by over an hour. I do not know what we would have done without her!! She kept everyone laughing and relaxed, and for that I cannot thank her enough. Even with the delay, she was able to finish the family pictures, our couples pics, and the wedding party AND still managed to get us to the reception ON TIME! She was absolutely incredible and even our wedding planner was so impressed by her! The pictures turned out to be everything we imagined and more and we cannot recommend her enough to our friends and family.

Photography has been a lifelong passion for me and I truly found my happy place when I started photographing weddings. Capturing every relationship and everything that makes it unique and beautiful make my heart all warm and fuzzy. I am here for all of the silly laughs and intimate snuggles. I am always going to make those around me feel comfortable; this might be by making jokes at my own expense or it could be showing you photos as I take them to make sure you see what a freakin’ BABE you are.

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Aptos, CA for additional fees
  • Offer

Ed Hafizov is a creative director and lead photographer of Zorz Studios, Manhattan-based boutique photography studio, offering alluring and daring fashion, commercial, beauty, and wedding photography. Commissioned by clients from Alaska to India, he braves both the New York City metro area and the world, eager to step out of his–and willing clients’–comfort zone to pursue original artwork with a lasting impression.

If we could, we’d give him an infinite amount of stars because he deserves it! For starters, when my now husband and I were looking for a photographer, we were looking for someone who would capture our vision. Something outside of the ordinary and completely non-traditional. We stumbled upon his website and work. Boy, Oh boy! I was left speechless. Each piece I saw of Zorz just told a story! A story of love, definition, purpose, and, most of all, happiness. They were vibrant yet moody. Exactly down my alley. I instantly told my husband... “He’s the guy!!’ So we booked him INSTANTLY! Fast-forward to the first photo shoot. To give you an idea of what I wanted, I wanted to capture a nontraditional engagement photoshoot that steered away from the typical wedding photos. We opted to trash the dress. (Full disclosure: to me, traditional weddings are overrated, and the prices of wedding dresses are a scam.) So I thought, "Let's get creative! Let’s trash the dress like a beautiful, vibrant disaster." We told Zorz, and he was FULLY on board. He understood the assignment and absolutely delivered it! (Please see attached photos) Forward further: Wedding day photos. -Breathe, MF taking!!!! (Excuse the profanity, but really captivating) I know when couples look back on their wedding day photos they become emotional. When I tell you it’s been a year later, and every photo Zorz took still makes me feel like the first time I saw them… Warm and filled with happy tears. He knows how to capture the moment as is- the true definition of “A picture is worth a thousand words” The man, the legend… Zorz: He was great to work with. He was patient, kind, respectful, and funny. He made us feel comfortable in our own skin and knew how to handle the stresses of the big day. Words are not enough to express how much we (I especially) appreciate the work he does. 1000/10 Don’t hesitate, book him!! I promise you, he will not disappoint!!

Eli Suzuki-Gill Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Aptos, CA for additional fees

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.

We were thrilled to have Eli as our wedding photographer! His relaxed manner and constant smile made the whole experience enjoyable. Eli has a wonderful ability to focus on capturing natural interactions, steering clear of overly cheesy poses, which was exactly what we were looking for. Our wedding ceremony took place at the Santa Barbara courthouse, and with 60 of our closest friends and family in attendance, Eli documented the intimate atmosphere. One of the highlights of our experience was when he surprised me by showing up at my hair appointment unannounced. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and he managed to capture special moments with my family that I will cherish forever. His willingness to go above and beyond throughout the entire day truly impressed us! Eli's photography style is modern and simple, featuring clean lines and natural colors that beautifully reflect the essence of our wedding day. He even brought along a second photographer for the ceremony, which was fantastic! This ensured that every precious moment was documented from multiple angles, and we are so glad he did. We can’t wait to plan our next party so that Eli can be there to capture every special moment again. If you're looking for a dedicated and talented photographer who is genuinely passionate about his craft, we wholeheartedly recommend Eli! Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! Not only was she incredibly personable and easy to work with, but her communication throughout the entire process was flawless. It truly felt as though we were talking to a life long friend. She really took the time to understand our vision and executed it beyond our expectations. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond by acting as a liaison between us and our coordinator, which was such a relief and something she didn’t even have to do. I, as the bride, even had one one time where she helped me with my dress and to fix my hair. And to top it all off, we received our pictures much faster than expected, and they were absolutely stunning! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares and delivers on every level. I look at our pictures so often and can't stop raving about them to anyone who will listen!

  • 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.

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.

Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Working with Melissa was an absolute no-brainer, and she was by far the most stand-out vendor we had the pleasure of working with.

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. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

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 is absolutely amazing! She is extremely responsive, creative, reliable, and truly wonderful to work with. Lisa took the photos for our small backyard wedding and they turned out better than we could have ever imagined. The photos were a mix between artsy and regular portraits, which is exactly what we were looking for. Lisa communicated with us significantly beforehand and helped create a list of the different people we wanted photos with and any details we wanted included. She was great at making us feel comfortable and natural and helped guide us with posing. We are using Lisa for our other wedding event later in the year and we are so excited to be working with her again! We cannot recommend Lisa enough!
