Salinas, CA

  • Serves Avila Beach, CA

HI! I am Anastasia (she/her), your Northern California elopement and wedding photographer and so much more. My passion for photography began when I was a child. It started as a hobby when I fell in love with photographing families and babies. Over the years I realized I adore documenting couples, in all stages of their relationships. I know they say we should specialize in one type of photography, but I am not sure I can ever do that. I love to create and I get bored with only doing one thing.

Anastasia was simply amazing to work with. She values her customers and she absolutely takes pride in her work. Anastasia was communicative with us from beginning to end and we valued Anastasia’s honest and knowledgable feedback about our venues (we ultimately dodged a bullet with our first selected venue). We were highly impressed that she provided us our sample gallery in record time! And we received our full gallery in the promised timeframe. We hope to do a couples session with her when we return the Monterey area!

All My Stars Photography

Templeton, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,100

I first picked up a camera in high school and was instantly obsessed with the process and possibilities of capturing images. I went on to study at The San Francisco Art Institute and transferred to The Art Center, College of Design in Pasadena, earning a BFA in Photography. I began my career as a photographer in a Los Angeles product photo studio. While working there, I found I had a talent for photo retouching. I worked as a professional retoucher for many years and know what many celebrities really look like hah! I made my way back to freelance photography after having my daughter in 2013.

We LOVED working with Gennan. Out photos are spectacular, abundant and just what we hoped for. I love that she schedules a call with you to discuss your style and vibes, to get to know you a bit. She was responsive through email prior to the big day, and I was so impressed she even brought some of the inspo pics I had sent for us to recreate. She was very professional while being easy and fun to shoot with! She even resent some photos that were B&W that we wanted in color. Edits were lovely. Now our only problem is trying to choose from so many favorites.

I grew up on California's Central Coast and obtained a minor in Photography from Cal Poly SLO. My love for photography started in high school and has always been my sole aspiration. As a photographer, I understand that photos hold cherished memories that last a lifetime. Whether it's with family, friends, or loved ones, photos capture precious moments that we can revisit time and time again. These snapshots serve as a visual reminder of the joys we've experienced and the people we've shared them with.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were thrilled with Burlap & Oak Wedding Photography for capturing the most special moments of our wedding day. Andy’s communication style was prompt, calming and reassuring every step of the way. He clearly understood our vision and brought a professional yet comforting energy that made the photography process fun rather than stressful. The quality of their work and value were exceptional - the final photos beautifully encapsulated the joy and love of our wedding, and we will treasure them for years to come. On the day itself, the photographer made everything perfect and kept spirits high. We highly recommend Burlap & Oak to any couples planning their big day and will definitely use them again for future milestones we want to remember. We loved our photos and couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding memories.

Cheers, you did it! You went from wildly in-love to newly engaged. It’s such a special time in life and you want to capture every fleeting moment. Your wedding photographer will be with you during some of your most cherished moments. So, finding someone with a personality that brings out the best in yours is essential. This is the part where we become fast friends. There is something so intimate and longstanding about being by someone’s side on their wedding day, and I can’t get enough of that feeling.

Sasha was the absolute best to work with! Her energy is contagious and she totally makes you feel at ease in front of the camera. We were so nervous selecting our wedding photographer because our photos were so important to us but Sasha made us feel comfortable through the whole process. She did a great job of communicating and always responded quickly to our millions of questions. We definitely recommend her for wedding photography and hope to use her again for family sessions in the future!

My style leans towards the editorial and documentary style and I am passionate about capturing moments as they unfold. My goal is to make you feel your best in front of the camera using posing prompts. This allows your photos to really represent you. I know that you are putting so much thought and care into every detail, and your gallery will hold all those memories to last a lifetime. I have a passion for travel and am happy to follow you to your dream destination. I look forward to connecting with you and making your wedding day everything you want it to be.

After our engagement shoot with Heather I was immediately so relieved that I had booked her as my wedding photographer. She’s so easy going, funny, and transparent! Heather made us a mood board to capture the vibe of our engagement shoot, spent so much time posing us and researching locations for the shoot. She was so easy to get along with and knew exactly what I wanted! She sent my previews (so many!) the next day and I was in tears with how gorgeous they were. The photos sparked a new excitement for wedding planning for me, and I really can’t stop looking at them! Do not hesitate booking Heather. She will make you feel beautiful, comfortable, and confident! Book her!

Hello! I'm Mike:) I'm a Christian and dedicated father to my 3 amazing children. Some of my favorite things are adventuring, travelling, eating, reading, seeing the Angels play and going to all kinds of concerts. I am also an avid Spartan racer!

We are so very glad that we found Michael to do our wedding and engagement photos! He came on recommendation from a great videographer in the area. From the minute we booked with him we got exceptional service and quality product. He made us feel very much at ease in doing our engagement photos. He knew where the best locations were and how to tell us to pose (or not pose). On the day of our wedding he took control of the kinds of photos he knew we wanted. The photos came back in a very timely manner and were outstanding. Our friends often comment on how beautifully done they are. He was so good that we continue to book him every single time we need photos taken. The walls in our house are covered in Michael's photos and they are absolutely gorgeous.

Los Osos, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

I value your time with your loved ones, and I photograph from that framework. One of my core values is honoring family and friends, and I reflect that as part of my brand and company. We prepare beforehand, so we can move through formal photos with ease, and get you to your dance party sooner! Meaning, photos won't drag on for hours... we've all been to one of those weddings, right? That won't be yours. When you become my client, you become my people. What does that mean for you? I'm there for you, and I have your back. I want to give you gorgeous photos that show the joy of your day, without having to miss all the fun stuff.

Tayler is literally the best! Picking the right photographer was such a big decision for our wedding and we are so thankful we picked Tayler, not only did our engagement pictures come out amazing (we only took them like 8 weeks before the big day to practice) but our wedding pictures were soo awesome. We both have strong, opinionated families and she was able to manage them effectively. Everyone complimented her personality and our pictures aquickly and they were sooo beautiful we couldn’t even pick our favorites. If you need a photographer look no further pick Taylor she won’t disappoint, she is so fun to work with and you get the best shots.

Capturing moments for the people I love, in the places they love, wherever that may be. There’s nothing more invigorating than giving people the opportunity to see themselves in a way that they never have before. Creating something meaningful for others is my passion. First, it’s important we get to know each other to make sure we’re a good fit cause trust me, it matters. I'll go first.

Fives across the board! Absolutely fell in love with Gage. Everything from his unique ability to capture a moment to his great personality. He made us feel like the only couple in the world. Gage made everything come to life. The big day seemed less stressful with him and his team there catching all the moments that mattered. Deciding whom to trust with the most important day of your life is stressful enough but make it easy on yourself and go with Gage! He’s out of this world and now apart of the family!

    I’m Mysi (pronounced, boringly, “Missy”)! I’ve been at this thing for 12 years and I keep falling more and more in love with it all. Give me intimate micro-weddings, quirky dive bar weddings, raucous South Asian weddings... my team and I absolutely thrive in chaos and emotion. My specialty is catching the moments and those tiny moments in between. ✨✨✨

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Mysi, Mysi, Mysi. Where do we even begin. We were passed along Soda Pop as a preferred photography vendor and fell in love with Mysi's work almost instantly. We were thrilled when Mysi did have availability and we then met to just talk. Mysi is a professional and is very good at what she does. However, our favorite thing is that she's also very approachable. We immediately felt a friendship brewing and it made it very easy for us to open up about what we wanted, what we were afraid of, etc. Both my wife and I historically are not great at pictures and after calming us down a bit, she reassured us that she was going to make sure the photos we'll have were going to be amazing, and that we would look good to. We decided to book Mysi for a few hours before the actual reception to get some shots across the city and then during the reception as well. We also then later asked her to come with us on the day we got married to take more photos with our families and our little dog as well. Both times she was punctual, had everything under control, and used her keen eye to take some memorable shots of us, our families, and countless friends and guests. P.S. she's a dog person and our dog took to her immediately as well, which helped provide some jaw-droppers of the little guy. Like, model-status. But I digress. We were both definitely nervous but when we did get our photos back, we were beyond happy. Mysi and her colleague captured so many amazing memories of all of our families and friends, our grand-parents, little toddlers, just everyone. All of the work she did with us produced some amazing pictures of us as well which we'll have for a lifetime. When looking for a photographer, please do reach out to Mysi at least for a chat, because while we found the perfect photographer for us, we also found a new friend!

    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!

    Xenia is my favorite photographer for many years because until I met her I didn’t even believe I could look so hot on the pictures!! And so when I had my wedding I had no doubts about who is gonna be responsible for beautiful pictures at such an important event. My husband is from California and the wedding was there so Xenia flew all the way from NYC even though she had a busy schedule. Not only she does an awesome job but also she is such a positive light cool person to work with! She has a great energy and she is a true professional. Thank you so much Xenia! You are the best!

    My husband and I can’t say enough how pleased we were with our video and our overall experience with Amative Creative! From the first phone call, Andrea was friendly and professional, and she really listened to what was important to us when it came to capturing and editing our video. On our big day, her team came prepared knowing what was important to us, and was able to think on their feet when rain came and adjusted some plans! To top it off, they made all the little moments that much more fun! Once our big day was over, Andrea was professional and communicative with the editing process, and they delivered the most amazing wedding video! I will be honest and say that I have watched it almost every day since getting it back, it truly encompasses all the feelings that we felt on our big day and helps us relive them again and again!

    Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see. The only minor feedback would be that for the large group photo that was requested prior to the wedding (all 75 guests in one group picture after the ceremony) wish there had been more directions given to guests to follow (using the mic that I had offered for directions to be shared aloud) how to come together / move around in an organized and efficient way that would work for the pictures. But overall, it has been a great experience working with Isaac for these past several months and we are very happy with his work that captures the moments of our special day in a soft and hear-warming manner.

I serve couples local to Northern California, but will hop on a plane for you in a heartbeat. Whether it's a big or small celebration, I'm your gal - basically your professional bridesmaid with camera in hand 😉. I love capturing the unique chemistry between couples and ultimately the je ne sais quoi of you. I believe that storytelling makes the world go ‘round, thus it gives me such great joy to be a part of telling yours!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Choosing Anna of Hey Honey Photography as our wedding photographer was more than just hiring a professional; it was welcoming a cherished friend into our most precious day. From the moment we met, her radiant energy and infectious enthusiasm put us at ease, and her passion for capturing genuine moments shone through. Our wedding in San Francisco was a whirlwind of love, laughter, and joyous chaos, and Anna navigated it all with the grace of a seasoned storyteller. She and her assistant photographer, Linda didn't just document the day; they became part of it, weaving seamlessly into the fabric of our celebration, capturing not just the posed portraits but the fleeting smiles, stolen glances, and unbridled joy that truly define a wedding. But Anna's magic goes far beyond the technical brilliance of her photos. Our guests still rave about her gentle energy and knack for making even the most camera-shy soul feel like a star. She captured not just the faces, but the hearts of everyone who shared our special day. And then came Fort Point. Ah, Fort Point. Anna transformed this historic landmark into a canvas for our post-wedding bridal session, with the breathtaking backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge painting every scene with romance and drama. Her vision, her guidance, and her ability to turn raw emotion into stunning imagery are unparalleled. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding (or in this case, the Business Insider article , 27 of the most beautiful wedding photos taken in 2023, featuring one of our wedding photos!). To see our love story immortalized in a publication is a testament to Anna's exceptional talent and dedication. But even beyond the accolades, what truly sets Anna apart is her heart. She genuinely cares about her couples, taking the time to understand their desires and personalities. She becomes a cheerleader, a confidante, and a source of calm amidst the pre-wedding frenzy. Communication with Anna was always a breeze. Her emails were like sunshine, and her ability to translate our visions into picture-perfect reality was uncanny. Planning with her felt more like brainstorming with a best friend, and by the time the big day arrived, we weren’t just clients, we were co-creators in our own love story. So, dear Anna, if you're reading this, know this: you are more than just a photographer; you are an artist, a storyteller, and a friend. You gifted us not just breathtaking photos, but memories that will forever warm our hearts. Thank you for capturing the essence of our love, for your unwavering support, and for reminding us that magic unfolds when you entrust your story to someone who truly sees it. Without a doubt, Hey Honey Photography deserves not just 5 stars, but a constellation of them. If you're looking for a photographer who will weave your love story into captivating imagery, look no further than Anna. She'll capture your hearts, freeze your joy, and leave you with memories that will forever shimmer with the golden light of San Francisco.

    Ashley was a dream wedding photographer from start to finish. Before the wedding we chatted many times & she was easy to work with, professional, genuinely nice, & gave great advice for the whole process. She created a detailed timeline and went through it with us prior to the wedding and it was exactly what we wanted. On the actual wedding day Ashley made everything so stress free. Pictures went so quickly and were so easy with her guiding everything. She has a GREAT eye for detail and makes sure the pictures are perfect. She also learned many people’s names from the wedding party which speaks to her professionalism & how much she cares about her clients. There were no awkward moments when taking pictures and she managed a large group of people & kids with ease! We got a sneak peek of almost 40 picture by the next day and they were absolutely perfect. Every single picture!! I would use Ashley for any pictures I need in the future & would recommend her to anyone everyone.

    When my wife and I were getting married we knew that one of the main priorities was to have an amazing professional photographer to capture all of the important moments so that we can enjoy the day without worry. The first vendor we hired was our photographer nearly a year before our wedding and felt comfortable that we locked that down. To our dismay, less than a month before our wedding date, our photographer had injured themselves and was no longer able to shoot at our wedding. We contacted our wedding planner, worried and full of anxiety, and she highly recommended a photographer she had worked with in the past and the rest is history. We are so glad that we found Fatima, even if it was due to unfortunate circumstances. She was incredibly communicative, organized, professional, and the pictures she took captured all of our wonderful moments perfectly. She swooped in at the last minute and saved the day.

Even in school my nickname was "Mama" because I was always prepared for anything and everything that could "go wrong." Not much has changed in that respect. I always have random things with me, "just in case." KCP was born after my own photographer bailed on me just two days before my own wedding.

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.

    Tooney is so sweet! She went above and beyond for our photo sessions! We did a boudoir, engagement, and wedding session! Her eye captures all the things us normal people don’t see. Our sneak peaks were putting us on the edge of our seat wanting to see all the photos! The pictures were amazing! Just what we wanted in a photographer and the style of pictures as well. Her partner Howard was also a pleasure to work with! Both of them made us feel very comfortable and it was like having our friends take our pictures! Definitely would recommend Tooney white to anyone!

Murtaza photographed our engagement photo session and Anita photographed our wedding. Both of them produced an amazing quality of photos that we will cherish forever. During the Wedding, we had a slideshow during cocktail hour with our engagement photos, and our guests loved it! Anita was so easy to work with. She was very accommodating during the wedding, worked very professionally, and even snapped some memorable moments during reception. We are so excited to see the final photos! We also loved that MKE provides 24 hour sneak peaks.

He has an eye for things that most people wouldn't have seen. I've had the pleasure of getting to work with him several times now and he's so kind and has such a calming presence which is exactly what you want from your wedding photographer/videographer! I'm currently helping my sister plan her wedding and when she got engaged he was the first vendor I sent to her to look at. She was blown away, as I knew she would be, by his work and loved how his wedding videos felt so natural, candid, and also didn't look like every other wedding video. His ability to tell a story both in photograph and video is remarkable. As a wedding photographer, if I had to redo my wedding day, I would without a doubt have Steve there to capture it.

    Working with Masha was a dream. As soon as I saw Masha’s lookbook, like my now husband, i knew she was the perfect one (to capture our day). From the beginning, she had made the process very easy. She communicated well and made working together easy - a true collaboration. She ensured our vision came to life while at the same time made sure we had enough time to do so. During the wedding, Masha made us feel so comfortable, moved swiftly through the photography session, and knew when to blend into the background and when to assert herself to get the best pictures. We encountered a hiccup of going to our destination shoot where there was a communication barrier between us and our shuttle driver. Because our time was so compact, Masha offered to drive us to have our beautiful and memorable shoot while keeping our timeline in play. She went above and beyond and that was truly heartfelt. Masha was also super patient as our entourage was one of the rowdiest group. She captured every moment. Her eye for detail is astounding and as I mentioned to her, “having these memories be captured is the greatest gift because a lot may be forgotten that day but the feelings in that moment photographed will forever last”. I rarely do reviews but Masha deserves to be recognized. She embodied my vision and had captured the day perfectly. Masha is a dream photographer. Her work is of quality and exquisite. They also evoke beautiful memories and are truly magical. She is truly a master of her craft, a true professional all-round and I cannot express how grateful I am to have her capture one of the most beautiful moments in my life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Masha!

Since then, my memories, large and small, are organized on my computer, by year.

I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend.

    My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

    Sarahi was so sweet and open in our consultation. We knew from the start that she was the photographer we needed. It was the first consultation with a photographer in which we did not feel pushed to book or left with any questions. She told us what to expect and and gave us advice if we decided not to book her! During the wedding she was so Kind and was able to keep my crazy family on check and participate in photos! We loved her and loved the photos!

I lean toward documentary style photography emphasizing what makes your love unique.

    Hiring Vlad & Aida was the BEST decision we could have made! We had a wonderful experience working with them for both our engagement and wedding photos. From the very beginning, we both felt very comfortable with them and had so much fun shooting. Vlad and Aida provided us with a detailed timeline of shots to take on the wedding day where to be and how long it would take. It as a perfect timeline to share with my wedding coordinator and wedding party, it made day of stress free! We received our wedding photos in about a weeks after our wedding. If you are looking for a wedding photographer this is the perfect duo for your special day! Also their pricing is so competitive and if you give them your budget my experience was they did everything in their power to get you what you want in your budget, which not a lot of people did!! They easy to work with and totally open to all options in terms of traveling and locations. Cannot recommend enough!! Seriously having The Theodors capture our big day was the best decision ever and I will be recommending them to all my friends and family Will definitely be reaching out to them again for our next big life moments! :)

    Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

    I cannot express enough how much I enjoy working with Taylor & Jarod! They are not only very talented, yet very fun to work alongside with. The always produce amazing quality work, and their communication with me as the coordinator is always punctual. I of course have them on my Preffered Vendor List and highly highly recommend them to my couples. You will have such a fun time with these two, and all of your special moments will be captured- garenteed! True professionals.

    Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

    I am a documentary-style photographer with a passion for visual storytelling. With my fly-on-the-wall approach, your images will be an authentic, honest reflection of your love. When you look back at your photos, I want you to remember the laughs, the tears, and the moments spent with your beloveds - rather than having your photo taken. It is my joy and honor to capture this momentous day of your lives. If my style aligns with what you are looking for in a wedding photographer, let's connect and create magic together!

    Stop searching for a photographer- you found the right one! Mary was so amazing to work with. She did our engagement shots as well as our “first” wedding (we had a Covid wedding). I was so happy with everything that she did. Mary is fun, creative and knows how to capture the spirit of the day. Her style is soft and romantic and she does not over-edit the final product. I really cannot say enough good things about her. You will not regret hiring Mary!
