Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: Sarah Fischback photography was perfect for our wedding! She worked with us every step of the way, had contingency plans and made our wedding day perfect. Why/what we chose: We booked her about a year out from our wedding in May 2024. We wanted someone who was local, with a great portfolio, and wasn’t a chain with multiple sites and a huge staff. She was flexible with the contract as we decided what we did and didn’t want. We decided on 1 photographer for 8 hours, 1 photographer for 6 hours & 1 videographer for 6 hours with an 8-10 min video of the day, plus a hard drive of pictures & footage. Leading up: We made payments in 3 installments over that year. We filled out a form which laid out specific shots we wanted, timeline for the day, and choose music for the video. 1 month before the wedding we had a phone call with Sarah directly to discuss all the plans. She answered every question we had and took great notes on a spreadsheet that she shared with us. She also told us that she was pregnant and would be due sometime soon after our wedding so she was planning to have the second photographer stay longer to help out in case she couldn’t do certain things, at no charge to us. The only “problem”: A week before the wedding Sarah texted us that she had gone into labor. This could easily have been one of those stressful last minute wedding issues, but she had an organized, thorough, and thoughtful contingency plan. She had her secondary photographer become the primary, and had another individual as her secondary. She filled them in on the plans of the day and everything was still a go! And Sarah still edited our photos. It was a bummer we wouldn’t have Sarah there, but given how everything had gone so far we trusted her and hoped for the best! Wedding day: The bridal party was met by Sara Fischer (our new primary) at a nearby hotel right on time for all the getting ready shots! Sean (secondary) arrived with Jose (videographer). They started with shots of the venue and groomsmen getting ready. The ceremony started and they just sort of blended in with the crowd, it was great! We didn’t have a wedding planner for making sure we were on time, but the photographers helped with this (not their job but super helpful). The reception went really well too! They worked hard and I hope I gave them a break to have some food as the day really got away from me! One of the other great things was I had a film camera and wanted some film photos and Sean took a bunch with it for me and I really appreciated that (I bought the film, developed, & scanned them & Sarah did edit some of them). Sara, Sean, and Jose were absolutely delightful people to have at the wedding and seemed truly happy to be there. Photo reveal: 2 weeks after the ceremony we got 8 sneak peaks and gave some feedback on coloring and lighting preferences! 8 weeks after the ceremony we got our photos! I honestly love every single photo they took! Absolutely no duds! Our video was 9 minutes long and beautiful! It is amazing to see all these shots of us and our guests, especially from times I didn’t even notice the cameras. Final thoughts: I cannot recommend Sarah Fischback enough. She did so much for us and made our day very special. I know the photographer is one of the most expensive parts of the wedding, but Sarah far exceeded my expectations and it was well worth it!

  • Serves Big Sur, CA

As a wedding photographer, my connection to my couples is more important to me than anything else. Serving couples getting married in dreamy wedding locations, whether it’s a vineyard in Carmel Valley or a beach wedding in Monterey, fills my heart with so much joy. It’s always a thrill to return to venues I love, but with nearly 100 weddings in my portfolio, it still surprises me how different each and every wedding day truly is. The menu you choose, the music you dance to, the color palette that inspires you - it all comes together on your wedding day to tell your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dana. is. bomb! I knew she was going to be a good fit during our first phone call just because of her personality. Through the whole wedding process she kept checking on me which I appreciated so much. It was nice to be able to rant to someone about all that we were dealing with due to covid but she remained so positive! The wedding day came and she got right to work! She is definitely assertive but I think thats something that is needed!! She cracked jokes the whole time which we loved. Having to wrangle family/ wedding party to make sure you get all the shots and stay on time is not easy! I got my gallery yesterday and was floored. It was everything I hoped for and so much more... not one bad photo! I'd give her 10 stars if I could.

My style of photography is rooted in photojournalism, influenced by the fine arts. The result is creative, clean, and crisp wedding photography that’s romantic, emotional, and lively. I transform your wedding day mementos into personalized works of art while also capturing subtle yet powerful expressions as they naturally unfold.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had read in a wedding magazine that you should hire a photographer who feels like a friend so that you are happy they are there on the day. Danieka met me for coffee in Monterey before we signed our contract and she was SO nice. Once we signed the contract, she started to send me recommendations for other vendors, suggested wedding timelines, and little pieces of advice she had picked up from other weddings (not too often - just 3-4 really informative emails throughout the year that we were planning and she was really responsive if I had questions). On the wedding day, she was prompt, really kind and struck an incredible balance between making sure that we had the pictures we wanted, but also that we were able to enjoy the day and not spend too much time taking pictures. I felt so happy she was there. Now, one week after our wedding, with just the pictures to look back on, we are SO happy that we booked her.

Hi, I'm Jenn Petty. I'm a wedding photographer based in Monterey, California and I travel worldwide capturing all people's love stories. I believe in equality, representation, and being kind to everyone. I believe in promoting self-love, confidence, body-neutrality, and general badassery into each of my clients. You don't need to always love your body or the way you look because that's just not realistic. But you shouldn't let it hold you back from enjoying life because you're so amazing and so so much more than your weight

After we took our engagement photos with Jenn I knew it was a match made in heaven…. She was such a professional and made us both feel very at ease. We aren’t huge on posing for pictures for hours, but Jenn and her team made it super fun and relaxed! She gave us plenty of tips and direction on how to pose, but also allowed us to have some really genuine moments that were captured absolutely perfectly!! After working with her for our engagement session, I felt so at ease leading up to the wedding knowing she was going to capture everything I wanted (plus more!!). She truly made my wedding day run so smoothly, it wouldn’t have been nearly as relaxing and stress free if it weren’t for her. From helping with timelines, to making adjustments for a rainy morning…and stepping in literally wherever she was needed, I truly felt like she had my back! Jenn and her team (shout out JoJo and Leslie - y’all are the best!) are truly amazing and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve heard of Aladdin Films from my friend, who 2 months before the wedding couldn’t stop talking about their team and a wedding video her sister got from Aladdin Films. Of course, after such a review from my best friend, I had to consider Aladdin Films for my wedding day. But once I got on their website, their hyper-creative, beautifully done videos and fantastic photos didn’t leave me any choice other than contact them. And after talking to Iman about their services, he left me no choice other than hire them. His enthusiasm and creative approach to work was spectacular. But still, I was a little bit skeptical till the day of my wedding. But as soon as I met them in person, I was 100% sure that they will create a masterpiece. Words cannot describe how hardworking their team is. They came half an hour before the wedding to observe the place and create a plan on what, where, and when they will be doing certain things. Their service was on another level, but everything comes down to one thing. The result. It didn’t take them long to edit everything, and when we sat with the whole family on our couch to see the result. Everybody was in complete delight. We couldn’t stop laughing, crying, and wondering how they could take such a good shot. It seemed that they had not 3 but 10 cameras. Top-notch editing, perfect angles, and great sound design are just some of the characteristics of that video. And pictures can be displayed in the Louver. Their artistic retouching photos were so good, that we are going to print them on huge canvases and put them all on the walls of our house. We immediately send them out to all of our relatives and hurried them up to hire them ASAP because as they said, they often get booked up. We’ll definitely hire them again on all of our family events, and if you are a couple that is looking for a videographer & photographer to capture the best moments of your wedding day, look no further, Aladdin Films is an obvious choice.

As your wedding photographer, a significant part of my role is to consider the fine art aspects of the galleries I create. Things like choosing the best light to fall over your wedding gown, balancing compositions, blending color, and layering textures to create dynamic and beautiful images. But it's much bigger than that. Photographs tell our stories, reveal emotion in ways that words can't, and offer the gift of visual legacy. An artfully told story transcends time. Beautiful photographs require exceptional artists. And you deserve exceptional art.

He is incredible at capturing candid moments and helps pose for those who are camera shy. You will not be disappointed.

Plant lover, dog mom, croc rockin', beach cruisin', online shopping photog.

I studied photography at the Academy of Art University in my favorite city by the bay, San Francisco. I continuously develop and modernize my knowledge and experience by utilizing my member resources provided by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) Association.

Northern California wedding photographer inspired by real moments between people who love each other and dreamy lighting. There is nothing I love more than capturing emotion and details in all the magical moments. I want to deliver photos filled with emotion, fun, and laughter. I bring lots of love and energy with me to make you feel comfortable so you can have fun in front of the camera. I work to build a true friendship with you to create trust which aids in gorgeous photos.

Working with Natalie as our photographer for our wedding was like working with your best friend (I'm serious). She made us laugh the entire time, got just as excited as I did (if not more) over details for the flat lay, and was the perfect match for my husband's sarcasm. What more could you want in a photographer? What drew me, initially, to Natalie was her bright and light photos that captured candid moments beautifully. My husband and I have a very fun-loving personality and to find a photographer that captured every laugh was an instant-win. Natalie took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we could not be happier, as every photo was absolutely amazing and told a story throughout the engagement session and wedding. I will always look back on these photos with the biggest smile on my face, because they are simply beautiful. You can tell that she is painstakingly meticulous in curating the perfect gallery for you and that she loves her couples. If you're thinking of hiring Natalie for your wedding, do not hesitate. She was an absolute dream to work with and I hope we can work together in the future!

Hi There! I'm Katherine (or Kay!). I've loved weddings for as long as I could remember and I believe I have one of the best jobs in the whole world. I love being able to capture moments from one of the best days of a couples lives and I get to do it alongside my best friend, my Husband. You could call us nerds; we love Harry Potter, puzzles and video games. Our favorite vacation spot is definitely Las Vegas and we both love good Mexican food. We have two fur babies; Bella and Betsy and yes they are so spoiled. The Husband, Abraham (or Bram) is also an engineer when he's not capturing weddings and a Cal Poly alum.

Look no further, because you've just found the queer fairy godmother of your dreams! I'm Jenni, a nonbinary lesbian planning my OWN wedding - so I know firsthand how important it is to have inclusive vendors who hype you up and support you 100%. I'm not just "inclusive", I'm literally queer! I specialize in proposal/engagement sessions and elopements/small weddings (<65 guests) in the SF Bay Area. If you're looking for a gallery of colorful "looks like it felt to be there" photos so you can relive your big day for the rest of your life, I'm your girl! Plus, I'm happy to work with wedding planners and vendors to make your vision a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I are so grateful to Jenni for the amazing photos from our wedding. She brought everything we wanted to the experience - excitement, professionalism, creativity, and quality. Her photos brought out elements in us that we didn’t even know were there. She was so active during the day, and constantly moving around to catch the best moments. Those who didn’t attend could look at the gallery and get a full experience of the day! We very much look forward to working with Jenni again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a memorable photography experience.

Hello! Thank you for stopping by and checking out my work! I have been a photographer since age 14 and started my business in 2004. I photograph wedding all over the world and here to meet wonderful new couples that would like to get creative together. If I'm not somewhere traveling and photographing, I'm at home snuggling with my baby son and cute little doggy!

Arina is hands-down my favorite photographer I’ve ever gotten to work with, as a fellow vendor (florist), and as a client ~ we hired her for our wedding! She was easy and really fun to work with, quick and concise with communication; she is not shy in giving directions to achieve the perfect, effortless shot. She has a great selection of clothing available for rental, as well. If you want a whimsical AF experience with the photos to prove it, hire this woman. She’s a truly talented artist!
