After 10 years of shooting I can tell you happily that I still think I somehow got away with having the best job in the world. I adore being able to photograph the moments of life that make it worth living. Weddings, birth, family, there are concentrated amounts of love in these moments and being able to give someone a way to hold on to that visually is absolutely wonderful.

Christy is a true professional - she is meticulous, creative, and a master of her craft. She captured my husband and I so authentically for both our engagement and wedding photos. She and her team were responsive, professional and accommodating from start to finish. Christy remained calm and composed despite the summer heat, family chaos, and various photo requests throughout the night. She made us the priority and ensured we felt comfortable and taken care of. We intend to hire her a million more times for life events worth capturing! Can’t recommend her enough.

I’m Cherlyn (rhymes with Berlin). So nice to e-meet you! If we met in person and it wasn’t during a pandemic- I would probably hug you! I’m an introvert-extrovert and tend to ramble too much when I get nervous. In emails - I tend to use exclamation points a lot!! (and will agonize over my drafts of emails before sending them because they probably have one too many!!) My aim as your photographer is to provide a memorable experience where you two feel comfortable, taken care of, and get to fully enjoy your wedding day as much as possible with all your guests & loved ones - whether they be in real life or via livestream!

Cherlyn captured both our special days (we had a small city hall wedding and a large restaurant party) so beautifully, with such a natural feel for our vibe and the energy of our events. I’m happier with the photos than I ever could have imagined!! She knew all the spots at City Hall and identified great locations in and around our restaurant venue. Every time I look at these photos I’m stunned with how magical they are - they take my breath away. She was absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Vanessa Rose Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Buellton, CA

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.

Here is your super sweet review: My husband and I love our engagement and wedding photos! I especially loved working with her as she is organized, professional, warm, so enthusiastic, and passionate about what she does!! She was also encouraging and made us feel comfortable during our engagement/maternity photo session and wedding day. I am so happy she was there on our wedding day, as she was a joy to be around and all of her pictures she sent us are beautiful!

Hey, I'm Emily! A natural light photographer based in Portland Oregon who specializes in true-to-color edits and authentic captures. Like many photogs out there, I picked up a camera really young and haven’t put it down since. I never wanted to forget parts of my childhood and young adulthood, so it became second nature for me to document the things I loved with photographs in a very real and candid way. Fast forward to today, I couldn’t feel luckier that this hobby became a career focused on preserving life’s most precious moments for others. Who will be the girl behind the camera hyping you up while capturing some authentic moments?

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm so glad that we hired Emily (Simply Wandering Photo) for our wedding. From the first email, she was super responsive and helpful. Neither of us had ever had professional photos taken so we did an engagement shoot with Em before the wedding, and it was fantastic. We were both worried about being awkward (isn't everybody?) and it feeling forced, but she directed us with such ease and confidence that it felt like a breeze - and the photos are perfect. Same for the wedding. Ours was a relatively small backyard-type wedding, and she did a wonderful job of capturing the day, our emotions, the ceremony, family, and the whole setting overall. She's got fantastic photo skills and maybe even more importantly, awesome people skills! Her communication was clear, consistent, and timely, she had tons of suggestions/tips and helpful info, and she just led us through the whole process as if she'd been doing it her whole life. 10/10, definitely recommend.

My mission is to bring the luxury of high quality wedding photography to a more affordable price. To serve my couples completely to ensure that they have a stress free and fun wedding day. Everyone should receive the images that they dreamt of on their wedding day, and I believe that when your wedding starts off on the right foot, so does your marriage. And that? That should be a luxury that is available to everyone.

I've worked with Regina countless times on events and weddings. She's also photographed me and my husband. She instantly puts her clients at ease with her fun, relaxed personality. She pays attention to detail and ensures that you feel confident and happy with your photos. Her excitement for her work is contagious.

Real Connections. Raw Emotions. Candid Moments. 

 These are the values behind what we do. These three words are the heart and soul of our work and everything we do is based around adventure and authenticity. When you hire us, you are hiring photographers who truly care about the experience you will have on your day. We don’t mind getting a little dirty or wet. We don’t mind staying until after dark to get the perfect shot. We don’t mind the hikes, or the time in-between each event. We are truly there for you and to tell the story of your day exactly as it happens

I don’t even know where to begin to express how much we loved Candance and her husband Corey. My husband doesn’t easily warm up to new people, and he especially hates being the center of attention and hates taking photos. Both of the photographers made each of us feel so comfortable. We really felt like we had a great connection with them. Our engagement photos and our wedding photos are above and beyond what we could have hoped for. They are absolutely a work of art and you can tell that they love what they do. We absolutely believe that this team was meant to be a part of our lives and our big day. Even our wedding party told us how cool the photographers were. Thank you so much for being a part of our dream. We love you

I’m Jackie- Your guide to planning a unique, customized elopement day experience anywhere in the world. While I am based in Southern California, I help couples all over the world plan and execute their dream elopements. I help you through the process step-by-step with location recommendations, local vendor recommendations, excursion and activity ideas, timeline planning, and more. You can find more about adventure elopements and myself + get in touch with me about your elopement vision through my website!

My husband and I had initially planned to do the big wedding thing, but after I came across Jackie I was SOLD on the idea of eloping somewhere beautiful & forgetting everything else. Photos meant more to me than anything else going in and jackie is worth every penny we’ve spent with her. She helped us completely plan the best day ever and I couldn’t imagine having done it without her expertise. I had no clue about permits, where to start with choosing a location, etc. and she went above and beyond to send me a customized list of recommendations on locations + info on each (I would love never even thought of most of them), ideas of things to include, how to customize our day, etc. I could go on and on, but long story short we are just so grateful that we came across Wild Honey Photo and she walked us through planning our elopement and made sure we had the best day ever and the photos to last a lifetime. I can’t wait to receive my album and wall prints- Thank you again Jackie!!

I wouldn't mind pointing you in the right direction either 😊 .

My husband and I cannot recommend Brey enough! She is professional, charismatic, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Brey showed up to our venue on our wedding day in April 2022 and immediately started doing what she does best: creating magic with her camera! If you need someone who will get the job done, with a little spice (well, a lot of spice actually), then Brey is the photographer for you.

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

"Who's that girl, it's Jess!" Hey guys, I'm Jess! I love all things New Girl, The Legend of Zelda, and Broadway Musicals! I like to describe myself as Jessica Day, minus the really talented singing voice, but just overall kind of quirky and nerdy. I love capturing love stories, and fan girling hard core over all things wedding! If you need someone who is going to help you walk through your planning process, I'm your girl! You can also catch me binge eating tacos and ice cream while editing until 3am!

My wife and I live in Chicago, but did engagement photos with Jessica in Orange County and loved the experience so much that we flew her out for our wedding! Jessica was so much fun and made us feel SO comfortable! She made sure I wasn’t stressed about our timeline as we planned and on the day of the wedding. We loved getting our same night previews and were able to use them to create custom thank you cards early to get ahead on sending out thank yous to our guests. All of our friends can’t stop complimenting our photos and we can’t wait to work with Jessica again in the future!

California native, PNW resident, coffee drinker, dog scritcher, friend, forward-thinker, designer. I hate having my photo taken (go figure), my dog Boone makes me laugh every day, and I thrive off of honest, intentional conversations. I’ve worked as a photographer for over 8 years and I know that half the job is connecting with people and offering them an experience, not just a gallery. I believe you have to feel comfortable with the person behind the camera before you can let go and fully be yourself in front of it.

Becky worked with us for our elopement photoshoot in October 2023 and it was an incredible experience from inquiry through the photoshoot itself. I had been referred to Becky through a friend who had worked with Becky on her own beautifully photographed wedding. Becky’s warm response to my inquiry set the stage for a great experience. Becky is exceedingly organized and communicative, meeting with us over video chat and later chatting with us through her online portal. She helped us create a shared vision for the day, and leading up to the photoshoot, we felt confident the day would go very well. I was admittedly very nervous for the shoot, as I feel uncomfortable posing in front of a camera. Becky’s demeanor - calm, comfortable, funny, and enthusiastic - settled my nerves immediately and allowed me to be present with my husband on this meaningful day. The photos Becky took are simply incredible. She captured our relationship and new marriage beautifully, while also highlighting the gorgeous landscape. Becky’s photos are truly a gift we cherish.

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 Vernon has been one of favorite photographers to work with. From the beginning Halley was super informative and considerate to make sure I was well prepared for the wedding we were both going to be working. Super professional yet very intentional. When it came to the wedding day, Halley was on top of it. Making sure we stayed on schedule and capturing every detail they requested. Not only that but Halley really pushed my creativity to capture photos in different angles that I wouldn't have ever thought about. I highly recommend Halley for your big day!

Jonathan Moore Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Buellton, CA

My name is Jonathan Moore. I am a Los Angeles based wedding photographer and available worldwide. I'll get right to it: The very last thing I want is for you to think of your experience with me as a "photoshoot." I think that posed "prom" photos are totally lame and reflect absolutely nothing unique about you or your partner. After all, you are not actors pretending to be "in love," so why should your images reflect that? At the core, your images should ultimately remind you of why you fell in love in the first place. This is what we're celebrating!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jonathan was the photographer for our wedding and absolutely blew us away with his work. His photos are so gorgeous and perfectly captured the best weekend of our lives. We did a two-night wedding party on the Oregon coast, and Jonathan covered both days and both nights to make sure we had the perfect documentation of our weekend. He picked out the perfect spots for shots after the ceremony, and worked hard to get us in the best light filtering through the trees as we did a little post-ceremony hike in the rainforest. Jonathan also fit right in with our friends when he wasn't busy photographing, and our guests thought he was just one of our friends they hadn't met yet who happened to be a photographer. I would rate him 10/10 on technical photography skills and professionalism, and 11/10 as a person. Our cousin Levi, who has Down's Syndrome, attended and wanted to help photograph the wedding day. Not only was Jonathan fine with having another person photographing near him, he was giving Levi tips on how to position the subjects (us: bride and groom) in the best light and how to compose the shot, at the same time as he was doing his own shooting!! Those specific photos turned out to be magnificent and I will always remember what was going on behind the camera when I see them too. That was a really memorable moment for me and really illustrates what you can expect to get from Jonathan.

Capturing your beautiful & intimate moments is why I do what I do. Whether it's the brush of a hand, a first look, or an inside joke whispered at just the right time... I am constantly seeking to capture those beautiful moments. Those real, stunning and timeless moments that make up YOUR relationship. However, I pride myself on being more than a wedding photographer – As someone who has been an intimate part of over 200 weddings, I vow to be your number one hype woman, your timeline planner, your moment of zen, your personal cleavage taper, your family wrangler, your time pauser, and your memory keeper.

Mycah came down to Chicago to take our engagement pictures – We started at the Chicago Institute of Art, walked the streets to the Chicago theater, and ended on a bridge overlooking the river. These are hands down some of the greatest pictures I have ever had taken of me, and I have had so many people reach out to me asking who the photographer was. Not only is Mycah absolutely brilliant when it comes to photography, and capturing love in a way that is authentic and powerful, but she also has a natural ability to make the entire process so seamless and calm. My fiancé made it very clear before we took pictures that we were going to be doing his 2 least favorite things – PDA, and taking pictures. Yet after the afternoon we spent taking pictures together he was so grateful for the experience, and even rated it a 10/10! I can't say enough about how talented Mycah is, and I would never trust anybody else to take my pictures.

My goal is to make from your entire experience from engagement to your wedding day all you dreamed and wished for. Please go to my website to read praise from past clients

Awarded Best of Zola
Paulina is an amazing photographer - we hired her for engagement and wedding photography! She is so pleasant to work with and is super friendly, which really helps to make us and our guests feel comfortable on the other side of the lens! This translates really well into the photos, as she is able to capture everyone naturally! On the day of our wedding, she was a great orchestrator as she gathered our guests and went through our group portraits efficiently and with the best light. Not only that, but as we (and some of our guests) are not sure how to pose, she was able to provide cues to make sure we were captured at our best angles!! She also made my husband and I feel extremely special, and made sure to make this day stress-free for us!!! She also processes her photos very quickly without any loss of quality - we received our sneak peeks the day after our wedding, our full wedding photos 1.5 months after our wedding, and our engagement photos 1 week after the shoot. I am absolutely in love with our photos (she made us look amazing!!), and we plan to print these to display over our home. Highly recommend hiring her for any of your photography needs!!!

I have always had a passion for photography and once I picked up a camera, it was all over. I was raised from a big family and my kids are my world! Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have a special love for being back there. I consider myself very outgoing and will always try and make you laugh and feel comfortable by being a huge dork. I think that is one of the biggest compliments I get is that my clients always feel relaxed and at ease and I love hearing that. Not to mention becoming friends with my clients which is an added bonus! ​

Hiring Jeff Hall as our wedding photographer was one of the first wedding decisions we made, and from there on out I knew everything was going to be fantastic. When meeting him for engagement photos, we all instantly hit it off and I knew he'd easy and FUN to work with. He's a photographer willing to go over and beyond to get THE perfect shot (wade through water, climb trees, shuffle through snow, lay in dirt. All of it.) The one thing I wanted at the end of the day was fantastic photos to look back on and hang in our home, and we received better photos than I ever dreamed of (and fast!). In fact, I loved him and the photos so much, I'm just counting down to when I can drag him to other countries for anniversary trips photoshoots! I'd recommend Jeff in a heartbeat to any couple!

Keith MacDonald Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, his communication was clear, transparent and made us feel comfortable. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - he captured every shot we had envisioned, even when we unexpectedly had to shoot our first look in rain and sneak the bridal party photos in during then too. Keith made us so comfortable during our photo sessions, helping us feel at ease despite our natural discomfort in front of the camera. Keith has a true talent for seeing through that and capturing us exactly as we had hoped. He is a one-of-a-kind photographer, and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories he was able to create for us on our special day.

Hi, my name is Alexandra Marie and I LOVE capturing love and freezing your memory forever. Getting to know you guys and hearing how you met is one of my favorite things ever. I understand the importance of preserving your memories and making them last a lifetime.

We hired Alexandra and her Sister Michele for a wedding their package came with a complimentary engagement session. We met Alexandra for the first time. Our first impression is as soon as she started talking she made us feel at ease. She took charge of the session, posing and directing us in many ways. My husband isn't the type to want to do photos ever and she had him smiling the entire time. By the end of our engagement session, it felt like we had known her for years. Fast forward to our wedding day, everything was going wrong. When Alexandra arrives she notices my face and right away goes and takes charge. She directed all the vendors to where they needed to be she made sure no one bugged me as I was getting ready. The entire night they were capturing everything without being asked. they made sure that we had pictures with almost every single guest. they took almost 4000 photos and provided them all to use edited within 3 months. They didn't charge us extra most of my friends were surprised when I shared that with them as most photographers charge extra after so many edits. I highly recommend them both they make it so easy to talk to and the booking process was really easy. I am forever grateful I had them capture our day. Gave us so many memories to look back on

We're a Scottish duo living our best lives in Los Angeles! We appreciate unpopular TV shows, all the vegan food, and a good old road trip. But our most favorite thing is our two fur-kids (bunnies!). We are not typical wedding photographers, that is for certain. We go against the usual grain, and that's exactly how we like it to roll. Normal is boring. Well, for us, at least. Not just for the 'wild at heart' and 'free-spirited'. For e v e r y o n e. And we mean it. We don't discriminate. Ever.

We're actually rating The Hendrys one trillion stars out of five because they are "out of this world" amazing photographers and you should stop reading this review and book them ASAP! If you're still reading though, let us break down our perfect experience with them: They were recommended to us by our venue (Valentine DTLA) and we fell in LOVE with them as soon as we saw their website! Their portfolio and "about me" won us over because we were looking for wedding photographers who could capture the in-between moments, do some fun stylized shots, and be just as fun and goofy as we are! We reached out over the website and heard back from them immediately over email. Their super funny, yet professional personality came through and that got us so excited to work with them! They were also open to us asking as many questions as we wanted (especially when it came to the contract), which made us feel even more comfortable! We then got to meet them over ZOOM where we broke down how the day would go, they asked us what kind of pictures we were looking for, and we just got to know each other. We honestly may have become best friends with them as we couldn't stop talking to them about everything and anything for 2 hours. After that, we knew we were gonna be in the best hands, but we could never have ever imagined how perfect they really would be! When it finally came to the wedding day, The Hendrys went above and beyond! They were extremely professional as they kept us on schedule while experimenting with different types of photos (using a Fish Eye Lens, prisms, neon lights, etc.). They knew how to make everything feel super relaxed and fun and just let us do whatever was natural to us no matter what kind of photo it was. While we were losing it over the fact we just got married, The Hendrys just let us take everything in while politely directing us for photos. When we weren't doing staged photos, they were out of sight, but taking stunning photographs of everything that was happening in between. They were like ninjas as they would disappear and then reappear and grab us for the next shoot! It really was so cool! A few weeks after the wedding, we received our photos in record time and they were the COOLEST PHOTOS EVER (which you can see attached to this review)! We cannot thank The Hendrys enough for their hilarious stories, non-stop professionalism, unwavering kindness & selflessness, and being true magicians with their cameras and artistic vision. We couldn't be more grateful for everything that they did and we feel like the luckiest married couple in the world thanks to them! Now quit reading this review and go be the next luckiest married couple in the world and book The Hendrys! They're worth every single penny! - The D'Elia's

I truly cannot wait to meet you and answer any questions you may have.

I wanted to gatekeep cause she's the best photographer in San Diego and I don't want her to get too busy for me. LOL jk but Maze is seriously a pro yet she is so personable and she felt like an extra bridesmaid, coordinator, and friend on my wedding day vs just another wedding vendor. No one could figure out how to bustle my dress but maze stepped in and literalllyyyy saved my dress. She also fixed my eyelashes when my glue was coming off and made sure my hair was perfect in the photos. A woman of MANY talents! I will forever cherish our photos. As usual they turned out amazing and I could not picked a better photographer to capture our day. I am eternally grateful for you!

After 10 years and over 200 weddings, I know how to fold into a large group of people, how to be there and make it feel like I'm not. I've been documenting weddings for nearly a decade and I love it even more now than when I started. My work is candid, emotional, and comfortable. I love to infuse editorial and documentary moments into my galleries, but mostly I just love to be able to photograph moments as they unfold.

It’s been a year since our wedding and I still look at the photos Melissa captured of us on a daily basis. When we were going through the painstaking process of planning and budgeting for our wedding, photos were at the top of my list in terms of their importance. Enter Melissa—we met a year and a half before our wedding day when she took our engagement photos and it was basically love at first sight. We felt so incredibly comfortable with her almost immediately and by the end of our session, we were bantering and joking around like old friends. Flash forward to our wedding day—not only did Melissa take gorgeous photos of our ceremony, first look, reception, etc, but she was a support system and that is something that is truly invaluable on one of the biggest days of your life. I can’t recommend her more.

The kind of work I do within the wedding photography genre is very distinct - every image stands on its own as a thoughtful composition as if from a cinematic art house film or high-end commercial/editorial shoot. My color grading is immediately identifiable and unique - developed through years of studying color theory - uncommon today in a sea of 'presets' that other photographers purchase on the internet for they have no knowledge of how to build their own. My compositions are often quirky, surprising, different. I always attempt to show a point of view that's uncommon and fascinating to the viewer.

Fitz Carlile is a master of light, and can make virtually any setting look like the most romantic place in the world. He immediately puts you at ease. We had to scrap our original wedding plans due to COVID-19, but Fitz remained a willing and enthusiastic participant through it all. Our recommendation to couples trying to plan weddings in this crazy time we've all found ourselves in? Go small. Don't cancel. And your photographer should be your number 1 priority. Photographs are the only concrete thing you'll own to remember your special day, and you will not be disappointed with Fitz. He's a true storyteller and his photos are magic.
