Harrison Boyd Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Brea, CA for additional fees

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Working with Harrison was probably the easiest part of our entire wedding. He built us a custom package for our less than normal wedding, and was super thorough in documenting our details. When we got the photos we loved how he and his second shooter were able to get lots of pictures of our family and friends, while taking some beautiful couple shots of the two of us as fresh newlyweds. You won't regret having him along for your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot express how much my husband and I appreciated having Heather as our wedding photographer. During our first meeting, she immediately made us feel comfortable being photographed and knew exactly what to do with our inescapable awkwardness. I rarely enjoy looking at a picture of myself, and after our engagement shoot I wanted to show every single person that got caught talking to me. Then came our wedding. Prior to the day, Heather made sure she knew exactly what we were looking for and honestly helped US figure out how our night was going to go. She is truly a professional. On our wedding day, I was so comforted having Heather there as she was herding cats (my family) into beautiful photo after beautiful photo. I felt really heard and understood by her and she gave us exactly what we wanted. I now cannot wait to force feed these images to anyone with a pulse. Don't miss out!

Hey! I’m Brittney a San Diego girl living in Arizona I’m a chocolate-chip cookie addict, adventure fanatic, camping junkie, fashion lover. I love seeing people in love which makes it way more fun to capture that through my lens. I want to make every photography session an experience, I want my clients to leave knowing that when they see these photos they can remember everything from that day. The smells, location, conversion, the way they felt when their hands touch each other.

Brittney was absolutely AMAZING! From our engagement session, to my boudoir session, to our wedding day - everything was perfect. My boudoir session with Brittney was so much fun! she made me feel so comfortable and not awkward at all. It was such a fun/exciting gift to give my husband before we got married. From the engagement photoshoot we knew right away we absolutely loved Brittney’s energy! She started this session off with giving us some beers! She listened to the vibe we wanted out of our photos and we got just that. She’s super friendly, easy going and delivered us our photos back in a timely manner!!! She even a sent us sneak peek photos the day after our wedding. Every time I look back at our wedding photos now it makes me want to go back and relive that day and that’s exactly what I wanted! She captured the day perfectly, but she even went above and beyond and got so many photos from the reception. The photos show all our loved ones having a blast and that just makes my heart so happy. Overall, we feel very blessed that we found Brittney. She’s now a close friend and we have these special photos and moments to remember forever. If you need a wedding photographer book with Brittney; you will not be disappointed! She does beautiful work and you can tell she loves what she does! I am so happy we crossed paths with her when we did!!!

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

Her attention to detail is simply remarkable; every shot she takes feels like a work of art, meticulously composed and brimming with emotion.

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a lover of art, stories, and spark—the perfect alchemy to creating and capturing all those memory-making, magical moments. Weddings, to me, are about your unique narrative, your origin stories and your threads of connection; the ways in which you’ve woven a love through a tapestry of compassion and inspiration and all that makes you you— both as individuals and as a couple. That’s the fabric of the photo, the material I like to work with; because of this, my photos lean atmospheric and candid.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Hannah was so easy, and the photos from our wedding were exactly what I wanted. I really wanted to maximize the amount of time I spent enjoying my wedding and guests, and Hannah's style was perfect for this – we got our posed portraits done quickly, and the rest of the time she was able to capture what was actually taking place at the wedding. In terms of pre-wedding prep, we met once before I signed the contract and then again about a month before the wedding to nail down details. Hannah was very communicative throughout the whole process, and she turned around 25 beautiful pictures within a week of the wedding for us to share around. I just got 200 more pictures back, and they are stunning. Hannah is such a talent, and I highly recommend her.

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

Anya is a highly talented photographer. I struggle with following simple directions, which may be due to the language barrier as English is not my native language. However, Anya was extremely patient with me. I hired her twice for my wedding and graduation pictures, but I actually worked with her three times, including engagement photos, the wedding, and the graduation shoot. She made me feel like a celebrity in all the pictures. I highly recommend her to everyone.

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Misha did both our engagement photos and day of wedding photos. We love every single engagement photo she took. As a couple who is typically shy (and incredibly awkward) behind the camera, she made the day fun and carefree and captured our personalities so so well. Our wedding was originally scheduled three weeks into the first "shelter in place" shut down due to COVID-19. We went back and forth on how to handle the ceremony/restrictions given the quarantine restrictions. Misha was SO understanding a flexible with our constantly changing plans. We had a last minute mini outdoor ceremony and drive by reception and Misha captured this day SO WELL. Looking back the photos bring us to tears every time.

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer who loves to frequent the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Midwest (where I grew up.) I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

Awarded Best of Zola
Grace T Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly responsive and provided us with so much inspiration and guidance to help us plan the perfect day. Their team, including Hannah and Mike, were dedicated and fantastic. They captured our wedding in the most candid and romantic way. They helped us plan the flow of the day by contributing feedback and building the schedule, and we even got special moments, like a pair of bunnies that photobombed our engagement shoot! We couldn't have asked for a better photography experience and would highly recommend Grace T Photography to any couple looking for a talented and personable team to capture their special day.

Soon after Juan and Emily got married in 2018 Juan began his photography career as a light technician in LA. Juan studied journalism for his undergrad, and this is when he was gifted his first camera and his interest in photography was sparked. Emily's childhood dream was to be a photographer, and after working for years as an ICU nurse she is able to do just that alongside Juan. We are energized by the creativity that photography brings, and the light and joy we experience from meeting couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working alongside Juan was my best experience of photographing with a second shooter in all of 2022! He is collaborative with the other vendors as well as the couple. A great listener and leader, he is helpful as well as overflowing with ideas of his own! He also has an impressive in-depth knowledge of light, color, and film. Juan is insightful and excited for every part of the day. His hybrid approach to shooting digital and film is sure to provide all the clients he works with, an album they will look back on, with joy and refreshed excitement forever.

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

Maggie is one of the most fun, charismatic and professional photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. From concepting shoots to execution to final delivery, Maggie is always one step ahead and delivers the best products.

I can’t wait to hear your story!

Awarded Best of Zola
Emily and I have worked together on a number of occasions, and I have always had so much fun and learned a ton! While there are tons of great photographers out there (and Emily certainly stands out as a top-tier photographer), the thing that makes her so incredible is how she is on the day. She has the ability to predict what you need before you need it, keep everything running smoothly, and make the day about you. I remember the first time we worked together, my shoes were giving me blisters so she just pulled out these tiny high-heel bandaids that IMMEDIATELY took all the pressure off and let me work efficiently for the rest of the night! Emily is there when you need her, and in the shadows when you don't. She is professional, kind, and courteous. Ultimately, you really just don't find many other photographers like her. If you're on the fence about it, just hop on a call with her. You'll see for yourself :P

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

She is precious and perfect and excellent at what she does. My wife and I happened upon Marla’s work when she first moved to Seattle in our hunt for queer friendly photographers. From the first moment we spoke we knew we’d be in good hands. Working with Marla felt like hanging out with a friend. We love her and you will love her too. We didn’t absorb that she specialized in elopement photography when we found her, but clearly she’s versatile because our photos are gorgeous! As people who aren’t used to being photographed professionally, Marla gave great direction when we needed it and caught a million beautiful candid moments. She forgot her coat in her fiancés car and did not complain or act chilly even though her nose and cheeks were turning red (don’t worry, we shared our jackets with her haha). Our guests also raved about her!!! She’s lovely and talented; she will make you feel comfortable and encouraged and beautiful.

Emily did everything she could to work with our budget and even though she did, it DID NOT mean I was sacrificing quality. She came and did my engagement photos in San Luis Obispo (where we got engaged) and then drove to Yosemite for the big day! She is an absolute joy to be around and such a nice person. Her photos made me feel beautiful! She really does well in capturing the candid moments. I would 100% call her again for any life event in the future!
