Tooney White Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,590
  • Serves Atwater, CA

I was born and raised in the Philippines but now call Northern California my home. I've been a photographer for over a decade and that journey has made me come to realize that nothing makes me happier than making those behind my lens feel amazing about themselves. My goal is to be so much more than your photographer. I'd love for you to consider me your friend especially because we'll be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day. Trust me to help fix any strands of hair that get in your face, straighten out your outfits, help you pose, and encourage you to enjoy this momentous day.

Run, don’t walk! My husband and I had the most amazing experience working with Tooney. She is incredibly talented, and kind, her warmth radiates into her photography. My husband and I decided to elope with very short notice and she was able to accommodate us even when leaving town for a big gig on the weekend. We also don’t have experience posing much and she was so skilled at giving us direction. But most importantly it just felt like fun! My husband (who hates taking pictures) said “We got the best photographer possible, she made this so fun”. We got our sneak peeks in just 2 days and we are so ecstatic about the gallery we got. We plan to do a bigger celebration with extended family and friends and will absolutely reach out to Tooney again. You’re in great hands with her!

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,990
  • Serves Atwater, CA

My wedding photography is ideal for couples seeking a candid and documentary-style approach. If you'd rather enjoy your day with loved ones than spend it posing for photos, I'm here to capture authentic moments as they naturally occur. From the laughter and embraces to the spontaneous celebrations, I aim to document the genuine essence of your wedding day. With my documentary-style photography, you can be fully present, knowing that your treasured memories will be preserved just as they happened.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was absolutely in love with all of our photos (engagement/wedding). Isela has a wonderful eye for photography and was so easy to work with. I love that she captures very natural moments with using mainly natural lighting. None of our pictures looked overly posed or stiff. She was able to truly capture candid moments that really displayed the joy everyone was experiencing. All of our photos were crystal clear and bright. My husband and I are in love with nature and she was able to meet us four hours away at a beautiful spot she suggested that made our engagement pictures look just magical. I have one of our engagement pictures as my desktop at work and everyone who sees it comments on how gorgeous it is. She made taking photos easy and is just the sweetest person to work with. Many of my guests even commented on how friendly and yet focused she was through the entire day. She made sure to capture every single moment she could. I couldn't have had a better photographer and I highly recommend her. Especially if you aren't a hardcore wedding planner like myself and you are looking for someone to make the process easy while at the same time providing you with amazing quality pictures.

Natalie is amazing! I was so thankful to find her relatively last minute before my wedding. She created a very detailed timeline that we used for all of our vendors. Natalie was always quick to respond if I ever had any questions. I was so excited to receive so many photos in our sneak peaks just a few days after the wedding. Natalie and her assistant photographer really captured every moment at my wedding. The turn around time for edits blew me away. I could not recommend her enough! Hopefully soon we will be using her for a family shoot ;)

  • Serves Atwater, CA

HI, I’M HILLARIE HUGHES . I am a lifestyle/wedding photographer based out of Merced, CA. I’m 30 years old, a wife and a mother to four beautiful kids. It's safe to say that I'm a VERY busy mama! You can catch me with my kindle when I’m not editing, and being as active as I can be in my children's lives. Never in a million years did I think that people would love my photos as much as they do, but I am so grateful and so blessed! I am learning more and more every session that I have, and have been incredibly lucky to have such awesome clients (turned into forever friends!) that have been with me during this entire journey.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Hillarie was the best decision I could have made for my wedding. I had a wedding at a venue she had never been to, and was a little nervous about her not being familiar with the grounds. My nerves were silly because she absolutely killed it. She over delivers and is the sweetest calm in the chaos. I wish I could relive my wedding day over and over, including having her there. I am so happy I went with her.

Valley Images Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,950
  • Serves Atwater, CA

I have been photographing couples for nearly 10 years and have loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed following them through engagement, wedding, maternity and now family sessions. I have even become life long friends with some of them. I am a mother of 3 and have always loved art, and once I picked up my camera and found a way to tell others love stories, I knew I found what I was supposed to do.

Valley Images Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with! As planners, we work with many photographers and Michelle is one of our favorites. Their communication style is quick, personal, caring, and professional. The quality of their work is truly beautiful, artistic, and unique. They took the time to scope out hidden gem spaces at the venues and listened closely to the couple to capture the day perfectly. An absolute joy to collaborate with!

I am a Central Valley-based photographer, but I am always available for travel outside the Central Valley. I focus on portraiture, wedding, and event photography. My mission is to work hard to deliver quality images and give my clients a comfortable, enjoyable experience full of smiles and laughter from the initial contact through the session and even after the final product is delivered.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess was beyond amazing and made our day so special. It was incredible how beautiful our pictures turned out and she captured everything I could have ever imagined and beyond. It was actually quite impressive looking through the wedding album after we received it because Jess seemed like she was everywhere all of the time. She captured every moment sometimes with different angles and I am so grateful to be able to relive our wedding day while looking through the photos. I thought I would regret not having a videographer but Jess truly captured everything from start to finish and that the day just comes back to life when I look through all of the photos. As she captured our wedding day she was soooo very patient with my husband and I, our family, and all our friends. Everyone spoke so highly of her after our wedding and really appreciated having a relaxed, caring, funny, kind, and professional photographer. She also helped me while getting ready and truly made it so I could fully enjoy my wedding. I also asked her to shoot my graduation photos and lets just say I don't think I will ever inquire for a different photographer. I am looking forward to continuing to have her capture precious moments in my life for as long as she continues photography. Thank you for being more than I could have ever hoped for and capturing some of the most memorable days in my life and making them so extremely special. You are the best Jess!!! 3

If it's your first time here, welcome! My name is Shannon Montgomery, and I am a California and travel photographer that specializes in traditional+timeless weddings and elopements. I am always up for a good hike, enjoy rainy overcast days, and will always stop to pet any dogs in reach! Working in the garden, getting to visit any possible farm animal (but especially cows), and walking barefoot make me happiest. I love seeing the beauty in things that have endured the test of time, seen across the challenges and storms, and still stand in their own kind of beauty today.

We hired Shannon for our wedding this year and it was one of the best decisions we made! She not only kept everything on time but she became a friend on that day as well. She captured every picture we wanted on our photo listed and delivered the most beautiful pictures from our day. She is professional, hardworking and the nicest photographer we have met.

I thoroughly enjoy working with passionate, easy going, and family oriented clients. My clients are more than just clients to me. I truly care about them more then just clients. I consider them o be friends who I am emotionally connected with. I want them to be happy with their product just as much as my customer service. I aim to treat them the way I would want to be treated and going above and beyond to make that happen is what I do. Please don't hire me because I may be less expensive than someone else. Hire me because you like my style and because you know I care about you, We all have to make a living, but money isn't everything.

Lauren Elizabeth Imagery

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Atwater, CA

There is nothing more beautiful than a love story well told. Through the highs and lows of the past year of a pandemic, it is clear that love conquers all. The profound emotions, the small gestures and glances, the words of honesty and love shared are memories that will last a lifetime. I photograph weddings to highlight that connection, to ensure your feelings from that day can be looked back on and cherished forever.

Lauren Elizabeth Imagery is a dream to work with. I've shot many weddings with her over the years. Her communication style is relaxed, clear, humorous, efficient, and always positive. She puts everyone at ease throughout the day. Her images are distinctive, fresh, earthy, and emotional. She captures the story of a wedding in a way that feels ageless. Like a true artist, Lauren sees things in her clients (at weddings or portrait sessions) that others often miss. Additionally, Lauren gets along with everyone from all walks of life, from the smallest flower girls to grandparents, making her a joy to be around.

Kathryn Lewis Photography

  • Serves Atwater, CA

Meet Kathryn: I began my career as a wedding photographer almost 15 years ago, first working for a renowned Bay Area wedding photographer, and then officially opening Kathryn Lewis Photography in 2014. I loved capturing intimate moments, getting (maybe overly) excited about good light, traveling to gorgeous places, and helping set up the perfect timeline and obsessing about the details so clients’ wedding days could be seamless and stress free. Being able to do that for so many amazing clients makes this such a dream. I'd love to meet you!

Kathryn is wonderful! We did our engagement photos with her as well as our wedding photos. She was so easy to work with, never once added to the stress of such an important day and gave us hundreds of beautiful photos. Four years into our marriage and I still have our album bookmarked on my browsers to flip through often. I highly recommend Kathryn for all your photo needs and hope to work with her for every special event in our future. She was flexible, intuitive and never once felt intrusive during our ceremony but managed to capture so many perfect shots.

That is why we offer complementary sessions to all our couples so we get to work together and create a bond.

They have an incredible eye for capturing not just moments, but emotions—every smile, tear, and laugh was documented so beautifully.
