  • Serves Carmel, CA

Hi! I’m photographer with a strong passion for documenting love stories. I believe in allowing the natural flow and emotions ofthe day unfold on its own; capturing real unscripted moments thatcelebrate the beauty of each couple's unique love story. My ability toblend into the background, while still effortlessly capturing everyimportant moment, ensures a genuine and organic representation ofyour wedding day.I fell in love with the artistic charm of film photography that bringsa unique and nostalgic quality to your photos. And by combining that with digital imagery, I create a collection of photographs that are both captivating and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiba removed any stress I had about photos as a nervous bride who did not feel confident or comfortable being in front of a camera all day. She spent time getting to know us and made sure we were able to capture amazing, memorable photos, without losing sight of the actual point of the day and party we were there to enjoy. Multiple times she seamlessly adapted our shot plan on-the-fly to let us have more time to be with guests or have a moment to ourselves when she sensed we needed it. ALSO she was a baby whisperer with our flower girl and turned frowns into smiles and I'm still not sure how she did that. Highly recommend Hiba!

Jasmine Lee is a destination wedding and lifestyle photographer residing in San Francisco, California. She is devoted to discerning couples and individuals that value the quality of crafting artistic and timeless imagery they will cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
When planning our wedding, photographer ranked the most important to us. We did intensive due-diligence and sourced hundreds of vendors in Northern and Southern CA. Ultimately, our favorite photographer of the vendors we looked at was Jasmine. It was an added bonus that she was local and already a recommended vendor for our venue (Villa Montalvo). Her talent was unmatched and her portfolio of soft, timeless, romantic images was high-quality. She photographed 2 engagement shoot sessions and our wedding. Jasmine has this very sweet and calming presence about her which was super appreciated. Jasmine was not only able to capture some immaculate shots during all our photoshoots, she captured stunning scenery photos as well- and made it so fun! On our wedding day, she was proficient, profound, and very detailed. She identified the best lighting, found the right angles, created great displays, and spotted timeless moments. Her visualization really is impressive-- and she brilliantly captures instances with such beauty and exquisiteness and makes it look effortless! On top of that, she is a wonderful person, respectable and down-to-earth. The wedding sneak-peek photos were impeccable - flawless, perfect photography that we will be sure to cherish our entire lifetime. Her precision and passion is easy to admire.

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

From ocean low to mountain high, my bags are packed and I’m on my way to capture your love story in the most beautiful place in the world.

Her enthusiasm and excitement for our special day was infectious and she made the planning process so much more joyful. Kait made me feel like she was a close friend who I could lean on without ever having met her! On the wedding day itself, her calm and flexible approach helped us feel at ease, and the resulting photos are simply beautiful, with great angles and lighting that made me feel beautiful and a camera shy groom shine. She got us sneak peaks that we LOVED and poured over with in less than 12 hours!

Ashley Guice Creative is a Phoenix-based luxury wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of human connection. Since 2017, Ashley Guice has been creating stunning images that blend artistic flair with genuine emotion. With over seven years of experience in photography and a decade-long background in the arts, she brings a unique perspective to every event she covers.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Ashley! From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought our vision to life, capturing every moment beautifully. We had an unfortunate cancellation of our original venue, and with our new venue having a completely different look, Ashley was a great thought partner in scouting locations and helping us achieve the look and feel in our photos that we were going for. Despite the challenges of a venue change and the usual wedding planning craziness, Ashley remained positive, resourceful, and was also just down right fun to work with! Ashley is a true artist, dedicated to the artful execution of every detail. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or ordinary—she took the time to understand our vision and how we wanted to remember the day and then actualized it through her artistic lens. I wanted something artful, chic, and elevated but also real, candid, and documentary-style—and Ashley delivered exactly that. She was also fantastic at understanding how we wanted to be photographed throughout the day. More than anything, she made sure our enjoyment of the day was a priority over just "getting the perfect shot," which was crucial for us. We were able to enjoy every moment, and the photos capture that perfectly. Her team was amazing, too! We got to work with two of her assistant photographers, and they were just as supportive and friendly as Ashley. We would recommend AGC to any couple looking for a photography team who is dedicated to capturing the essence of your wedding in a way that feels unique, personal, and meaningful. - L & L

They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures!

CANatural Unions was an absolutely amazing experience that we'll never forget! I've never had so much fun and felt so beautiful while surrounded by epic vistas and sunsets! ...My husband and I are more seasoned hikers, so we went on more difficult treks, but Kira will always make sure the journey fits the traveler. And thanks to the combined talent of Forrest's post-editing, everyone who sees our photos is blown away like we were. In one picture, he somehow turned a day shot into a night shot with crazy editing magic.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day !

Phillip was great to work with - he communicated with us in an informative, timely manner and was always thorough in answering our questions. He has fantastic people skills and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. He asked us questions to better understand what we wanted and helped us figure out what we needed to know ahead of time. The quality of Phillip's work is truly amazing. He is talented at capturing authentic moments and adapting to any situation. His strong work ethic was evident in the beautiful photos he delivered for our engagement photos. We know our wedding photos will be just as amazing when he delivers them. A real highlight was when Phillip had us laughing during the session - it led to more natural, joyful photos. We took a memorable photo with Phillip that we'll cherish. Overall, I'd highly recommend Phillip Towles Photography for wedding/engagement and videography . His communication, professionalism and stellar photography skills made our wedding photos better than we could have imagined.

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.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.
