Kay Mitchell Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Brookdale, CA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kay and Bram were an absolute joy to work with! It also helped they are total dog lovers like my husband and I, and captured the absolute best images of our boy, Maverick. I don’t think there was one moment where we were NOT smiling or laughing around these two, and it put my anxious mind completely at ease. They are affordable, hard-working, and completely matched our photography vision (lighter) for our most important day. I don’t think there are enough words to express my gratitude for the talent these two possess, but for now…thank you, Kay and Bram, for everything you have done for us. We truly adore you and are so lucky to have befriended you! - Chelsea, Neal, and Mav

For those playfully and deeply in love! Color and Beam provides artful film and digital hybrid wedding and elopement photography based in Southern California and Texas, available for travel.

Haley was the absolute BEST. She took both our engagement photos and wedding photos and she captured our love in ways more beautiful than I could even imagine :) Love that she does a mix of film and digital, her film photos have such a magical, dreamy quality. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera, took the time to get to know our style, and was a great communicator. She was so flexible on the day-of and made sure we got every shot we wanted. She took both amazing portraits and beautiful candids that captured the emotion of our wedding so well I could cry haha. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding, book her ASAP!!!!!!

Her signature photography style is best described as chic, timeless and natural.

I was absolutely stunned when we got our gallery back. The care that Amber puts into composing the perfect image speaks for itself when you see the final product. There was no detail missing and i’m so glad we have these to look back on for the rest of our lives.

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.

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

Dzen Documentary

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Brookdale, CA

Hello My name is Andris Dzeguze I am a creative eye behind Dzen Documentary. I discovered my passion for photography in my grandfather's darkroom, and it has been an integral part of my identity. The ability to freeze moments in time and craft visual stories with light has captivated me for a long time. In my portfolio, you'll uncover what sets me apart: Showcased in publications such as Vanity Fair and Wall Street Journal Magazine. Featured photographer at NYC Fashion Week. Serving as a brand ambassador for a renowned camera brand. Engaged in impactful documentary art projects. Capturing the essence of weddings across the United States.

As a seasoned wedding photographer myself, I have had the privilege of working alongside Andris for the past three years. It has not just been a professional collaboration, he is a master in storytelling, artistry, and connecting with everyone he touches. Andris always arrives early for our weddings/events, meticulously setting up and ensuring that all details are perfect before the first click of the shutter. He has a very calm demeanor and is always a beacon of stability, even in the most unpredictable situations. Working with him has always been a joy. But Andris's talent goes far beyond punctuality and professionalism. He has an uncanny ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, transforming any moments into memorable snapshots of the client's special day. His artistic vision is unique, and he uses light (both natural and artificial), composition, and emotion to weave narratives that resonate deeply with our clients. Besides the technical know-how Andris possesses, he has a gift for connecting with people, which is a critical trait to have as a wedding photographer. His infectious smile and genuine warmth melt away any inhibitions, bringing out the smiles and genuine emotions that make videos and photographs truly come alive. He has a way of making everyone feel at ease, even the most camera-shy individuals. In short, working with Andris isn't just about capturing images, it is about capturing the essence of a moment, a feeling, a connection. His videos and photographs are not just visual records, they are portals to emotions, transporting you back to the laughter, the tears, the joy that made the day so special. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Andris to anyone seeking not just a skilled videographer or photographer, but an artist, a collaborator, and a friend. If you're looking for stunning visuals, infectious laughter, and a stress-free experience that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime, look no further.

Hi you guys, my name's Natalie, & I'm so glad you're here! I’m a joy-filled, Southern California surfer girl who is in love with capturing weddings.  My style? It’s timeless, romantic, adventuresome, & personal. I’m dedicated to capturing fine elegance + raw beauty all the while keeping it real + being authentic. Your job is to be in love & live in that excitement with each other. My job is to make it easy + enjoyable for you two to be yourselves, 100%, as I frame and capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments in a way that only my mind can. Congratulations to you both! Looking forward to getting to know each other! xx Natalie

Natalie is the most professional, genuine, and talented wedding photographer. I promise you that you cannot and simply will not find a lovelier, more generous, or more brilliant person to help you sidestep stress and make the wedding planning process and wedding day a joy. At our wedding, three different people asked me if I'd later share her contact information with them for whenever they got married. Just think about that for a moment: three people were so blown away by Natalie's warmth, energy, and beautiful, bubbly personality that they would hire her on the spot without having yet seen her stunning work and even though they weren't engaged. Natalie's smile brightens up an entire room, and she has a truly remarkable way of making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. She'll make you laugh, she'll keep your energy up, she'll capture the moments you dreamed would one day hang on your walls, and most of all, she will make you feel like your day, your marriage, and your love are the center of the entire world. This gift of her presence and love is extraordinary, and I promise you that it extends beyond anything you could ever hope or expect to receive from any wedding vendor. I cried when she sent us our photos because they are so profoundly beautiful and so full of the true emotion that she naturally drew from even the most reserved of our family members. Every photo was so natural and full of light and joy. Natalie has so much talent, and if you're one of her brides you'll quickly realize how lucky you are to have someone care so deeply about you and about capturing your special day. Before our wedding, Natalie spoke with me over email and on the phone, sent a thoughtful questionnaire to help us articulate our aesthetic and photography hopes, sent a quick engagement gift, and even checked in over text to make sure I was doing well the week before the wedding. After the wedding, she sent cute thank you gifts and GORGEOUS photos (you will love yours too!). But my favorite memory will always be from our wedding day when she took a moment to dance with my shy 5 year old nephew and draw him out of his shell so he could enjoy the party. The huge smile on his face will always be one of my most precious moments of our wedding day. My nephew, like so many of our guests, still ask about Natalie all the time. It was a pleasure to work with Natalie and to get to know her, and I hope you too will be fortunate to experience Natalie's light, love, and unparalleled talent.

I could go on about her but I'll try to be brief - Kyrsten was absolutely incredible at making me and my now-husband feel comfortable in our own skin. We talked on the phone when I first reached out and immediately hit it off, which was easy because she is sassy and says it like it is which I absolutely love. She took our engagement photos on the hottest day of the summer and we had a blast even with sweat dripping down our backs. She had us laughing the whole time and we even wound up in a fountain! I did bridal portraits with her a month before my wedding and it gave me so much peace of mind to know what to expect for the wedding day and to see how everything photographed. At our wedding, Kyrsten made quick work of getting through our large families while keeping the peace amid the chaos. We are obsessed with our engagement photos and my bridal portraits and are anxiously awaiting our wedding photos! I can not recommend Kyrsten enough - but make sure you book her early, she books up fast! Her personality is infectious and her tips and tricks for creating natural smiles and laughter are the funniest!

Ayyy it’s ya girl Tida (like pita)! I’m not just another photographer – I’m your hype girl, your ally, your eyes and your ears on your wedding day. I’ll be there freaking out shouting “YASSS OMG HOT FIRE ALERT” hyping you up during portraits because holy-shit you look amazing AF! I’ll be dancing circles around your guests while I shove my camera in their faces, fixing your hair when the wind gets too cray, and confidently (and loudly) directing your family portrait time. I’m a tiny ball of giant energy and gurl, it shows on your wedding day – TRUST.

Tida shot our engagement and our Palm Springs wedding at Korakia Pensione! I absolutely adore her! My husband and I were somewhat nervous about the process and worried that it would be awkward...it proved to be anything but. Tida put us both at ease and had us laughing and relaxed out of the gate. So many people commented on how genuinely happy we looked in our photos and honestly it had a lot to do with Tida making us laugh with each other. The photos turned out beautifully, her aesthetic is very natural, never staged, and I really appreciate how much care she put into all the editing. Everyone comments on how great our photos are. She really loves what she does. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!

We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

I had the pleasure of working with Marie for my wedding, newborn photos, and holiday photos, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results each and every time! From start to finish, the entire experience is always seamless, professional, and enjoyable. Communication: Right from the initial inquiry, Marie was responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She took the time to understand what I was looking for, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure all my questions were answered promptly. Professionalism: On the day of the wedding or shoot, Marie was punctual, prepared, and had a clear vision for the session. She made me feel at ease immediately and was very patient throughout the process. Whether it was guiding me through poses or letting me just be natural, she struck the perfect balance. Creativity and Skill: The photos speak for themselves! Marie has a fantastic eye for detail and composition. The lighting, framing, and editing were all spot-on, capturing moments in a way that felt both artistic and authentic. Whether it was candid moments or more posed shots, each photo felt personal and unique. Final Product: The final images were delivered on time, and I was blown away by the quality. The editing was flawless, enhancing the photos without overdoing it. It was clear that Marie put a lot of care and effort into the post-processing, and it truly paid off. I can't recommend Marie enough. Whether you're looking for someone to capture a special event, a personal portrait, or any other kind of photography, Wild Elegance is an excellent choice. I’ll definitely be working with Marie again in the future!

Hi I'm Halley I’m a couples, wedding, and elopement photographer based in San Diego, Big Sur, and Seattle, but I’m ready to follow you anywhere! I was born and raised in the PNW, I’m 28 years old, I have a husband and 2 puppies who I love with my whole heart. I’m an extroverted introvert who loves all-night brewery hangs just as much as home game nights, and my love languages are words of affirmation and sushi.

Halley was our wedding and engagement photographer and the entire experience was amazing, more than we could have asked for. She really captured our personalities and relationship in our engagement photos and leading up to our session she location scouted for us and gave her professional opinion on best time to meet based on sunset and weather. On our wedding day she captured all the in between moments and candid personalities of all our guests, as well as documented all out precious moments. She helped with keeping on schedule during the day, helped me manage any stress I was feeling, and was there to adjust my dress and veil all day long. She was the best investment we made for our wedding day by far and the memories she captured are truly priceless.

I believe that love inspires art. Your wedding day will most likely be a blur of joy, nerves, and excitement with some extraordinary moments in between. Using both film and digital mediums, I balance a combination of both editorial and photojournalistic styles with a fine art approach. This collaboration will allow you both to fully enjoy each and every moment, as we tell the story of your wedding day. Wedding photography is an investment that lasts a lifetime, it’s the part of your wedding day that lives on. This is your love story, told in a classic, authentic, and timeless way.

Not enough positive things can be said about this lady - she is just phenomenal. She made the whole day so smooth & really listened to what my Fiancé and I were looking for in our photos. She gave us suggestions & just made us feel so comfortable. She is also like the ultimate hype girl - she made me feel so beautiful all day! She just goes above and beyond in every aspect of her job - she really prioritizes her couples. She made sure to ask in advance about what photos were important to us, what group shots we wanted, and what we wanted our timeline to look like. She arrived early, she left late, and ran on all cylinders the entire day. Oh and our engagement photos were beautiful & made us both so comfortable with her on our wedding day. I can’t say enough good things & I believe I found both a friend & photographer for life!
