Kristy Velesko Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Chula Vista, CA

Fine art wedding photographer based in Phoenix AZ, and ready to capture your natural and authentic day! I have traveled and photographed over 150 weddings and believe in capturing the real emotion that happens on your wedding day with timeless editing . From elopements and backyard weddings to large venue banquets, I have all your photographic needs covered. I wear many hats during your wedding to be sure it is as stress free as possible. While I do not replace a wedding coordinator, my duties to you on your day, do overlap. I want to make sure that you enjoy every moment and that after you have stunning photos to fondly look back on.

Absolutely thrilled to share our experience with our amazing wedding photographer, Kristy Velesko! From start to finish, Kristy displayed exceptional communication skills, ensuring that every detail was perfectly planned, and answering all my emails and questions so promptly. Her energy and friendliness were contagious, making everyone feel at ease and adding a special spark to our day. Everyone in my wedding party loved working with Kristy! Kristy's vast knowledge about weddings was invaluable. She anticipated our needs and had creative solutions for everything (like how do I go to the ladies room in a HUGE ballgown - she knew!). Her artistic talent truly sets her apart; she photoshopped a stunning castle into our wedding photos, making our fairytale dreams come true! Not all photographers have this additional skill set! One of the standout moments was Kristy's ability to be the “bad guy” for us, especially when managing the bridal party. She expertly directed the groomsmen, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time. Especially when my groom gave them all lightsabers as gifts, you can assume the craziness that ensued! But everyone loved her even if she had to be bossy with them! A highlight was how impressed Disney’s Fairytale Weddings team was with her work. They couldn’t stop raving about her professionalism and the vibrant, beautiful photos she captured. Kristy truly has a gift for photography, and we are beyond grateful for the magical memories she created for us. We have since asked her to do family portraits and since I had 3 wedding gowns (Yes, 3!) - we had her do more portraits. They were all so gorgeous! Haven’t had a bad photo and I love how she knows exactly the directions to give us to get the best photos! Highly recommend her for any special occasion!

  • Classic style

  • Serves Chula Vista, CA

As your photographer, I prioritize truly getting to know you as a couple, offering guidance and support throughout your wedding day. My goal is to capture those intimate, fleeting moments—the ones you might forget in the whirlwind, like your grandmother’s tears as you walk down the aisle or your best friend’s belly laugh after the best man’s speech. Together, we create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that lets your genuine emotions and connections shine through. I don't just freeze moments; I capture the essence of your emotions. With careful attention to detail, I weave these real moments into a visual story that goes beyond the ordinary.

I’ve worked with Emilie a few times and there aren’t enough good things to say about her! She’s not only professional and delivers high quality images, but she’s so fun to be around. If you’re looking for an outgoing, adventurous photographer for your wedding or elopement, Emilie is your girl!

Kristina Lee Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Chula Vista, CA

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, I get the opportunity to work with many photographers. BY FAR, Kristina Lee Photography is my all-time favorite! Not only does she have an artistic eye for capturing moments, but she also makes the couples feel comfortable and relaxed. Kristina also is a team player with the rest of the vendors. Her turn around time for images is like no other. The generosity of what she pours into her craft and service is admirable! Kristina is both professional and playful which clients love and trust! I have no hesitation in recommending Kristina Lee Photography. As a matter of fact, I highly encourage it! You'll have the best pictures with the most delightful photographer!

Eli Holmes Photo + Film 

2.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Chula Vista, CA

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

Hey there, I'm Karli your wedding and engagement photographer. I am absolutely passionate about capturing the authentic and intimate moments as your wedding day unfolds! When you look back on your photographs, I want you to relive all the emotions you experienced.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Karli to photograph our micro-wedding in June. Even though we had a smaller guest count than anticipated, we wanted to make sure that we could capture the memories from our event for posterity. She went above and beyond to deliver amazing photographs and was super respectful of the different aspects of our wedding that differed from a traditional American wedding. For example, the bride and groom wanted to mix & match parts from their different Asian heritages that they loved, including outfit changes for the bride and for the groom's mother, traditional food, and a tea ceremony for the bride and groom's parents. Karli was able to get candid shots of everything. For those couples who are going for a rustic and down to Earth Southern barn wedding, look no further! This is your photographer. She will take the time to get to know you as a couple (which makes for the most authentic photographs).

Hello! I’m Savannah, the photographer behind Savannah Rose Photography. Photography started out as a fun hobby, but when I was 16 I decided to take a film class in high school and that’s when I realized “this is it”. I have been able to be a full time photographer for 8+ years. I love being able to use my passion for art and photography to help you create uniquely beautiful memories that you will enjoy for years to come. I am definitely guilty of being a bit of a perfectionist which ensures that I do everything I can to give you the best photography experience, whether it be portrait session or on your wedding day.

Savannah captured my surprise engagement photos and I couldn't have been more happy with how they turned out. She went above and beyond the entire time and even took time before our shoot to scout out different locations that she thought would work well so we could use all of our time we had with her more efficiently. She also thought of everything and got my fiancé and I a picnic to enjoy as she knew we might be hungry during out shoot and we even utilized that to get some fun photos that are now some of my favorites. She made us feel so comfortable during our time and we loved working with her. Also, she took so many photos and got them back to us insanely quick. She was so amazing that I will be trying to come up with reason to use her again in the future.

I love capturing precious memories for couples on their special day and showing their love story throughout the photography coverage. I began my photography journey in 2015 after I had my daughter. Growing up I used to dislike having my photos taken because I always felt uncomfortable in the photos. Raise your hand if you can relate! My biggest goal is to make my clients comfortable and provide a positive experience. I want my clients to frame my finished work and art in their homes and be proud of their photos.

Irina is wonderful! Her communication and client expertise makes the entire process seamless and successful.

I always love to share her beautiful images to my portfolio after we have worked together. I would absolutely recommend booking your shoot with Irina!

Welcome. I'm D e r e c k. I've been doing photography and videography since 2017. It wasn't until the pandemic of last year that I decided to take a leap of faith and make it a full-time career. I feel like I've always had a burning passion for photography and editing, I love photography because it captures a moment in time. Whether that moment is your wedding day or an annual family portrait, pictures enable us to relive and remember special occasions again + again. Why I specifically dove into Wedding Photography? Simple!! My love for creativity and seeing passionate couples that aren't afraid to show their personalities

Dereck Davis Photography was a joy to work with for our wedding photography. Dereck has an incredibly friendly, welcoming, and fun communication style that put me at ease, as I'm usually shy and awkward posing for photos. His artistic eye and casual style resulted in gorgeous, natural-looking photos that perfectly captured the laidback vibe of our wedding day. Even during more orchestrated moments like the family portraits, Dereck kept things upbeat and moving smoothly. His easy-going manner encouraged everyone to relax and enjoy themselves rather than stress about getting the perfect shot. Our wedding photos are stunning yet look effortless due to Dereck's ability to work with the existing lighting and scenery. We felt like we were hanging out with a close friend rather than posing stiffly for a photographer. I wholeheartedly recommend Dereck for wedding photography - his beautiful, joyful images will help you remember the love and delight of your special day for years to come.

Capturing the special moments and being a part of the celebration is incredibly gratifying and it's always a privilege to help couples remember their wedding day for years to come; I'm so lucky to be able to do what I love every day!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Amelia! She took the most beautiful pictures and delivered everything in a timely fashion. She was communicative and determined to provide us with the best possible experience. She engaged with the bridal party and livened up any space that she entered with picture suggestions. She caught every important moment. We could not be more grateful and are so happy we chose her to document our wedding. She did a wonderful job! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a fantastic photographer. She’s incredible!

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

I met Jason at a conference and learned that he does photography. When years later I got married, I remembered how intrigued I was with how photography style and the gorgeous landscape shots he would take. I asked him to fly out from California to shoot my wedding in North Carolina. He is kind, prompt, responsive to messages, and accommodated me on my wedding day. He made me feel comfortable and had fun ideas for shots of my wedding party. I would recommend Jason to anyone who needs a professional photographer for their event! Jason is one of a kind!

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. I’m a storyteller, but the picture book kind. I usually skip the words and pore over the pictures. I geek out over colors, light, and movement, so it makes a lot of sense that photography is where I’ve landed.

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!!!!!!

Denise is professional, personable, and a phenomenal photographer! She understands the magnitude of the moment and goes above and beyond to capture this memory with ease. With tips and tricks to make you feel more comfortable in front of the camera your pictures will come out looking natural and you will enjoy your entire time with her. With that being said, she is very attentive and focuses in on every detail. When it comes to editing your photos, I can tell she sat and looked at each frame. There isn't a blanket preset thrown over our gallery. She makes sure each image is at the highest quality and does so with a great turn around time. After shooting our engagement photos with her and seeing the gallery of them, I was so thankful we chose her to do our wedding!! She captured our day perfectly and helped everyone remain calm throughout the day with her demeanor. When you book Denise you will walk into it with a photographer and away from it with a new friend! We are so excited to have Denise capture all of our family milestones from here on out!

Wow!! I can not sing enough praises about Jackie. We had the privilege of working with Jackie for our wedding and from the very beginning she was incredibly professional, personable, and we truly felt that she wanted to understand & capture our wedding as we had envisioned it. Her photographs online stood out to me from the beginning, but after meeting her - that sealed the deal for us. Although we had quite a few change of plans throughout 2020, Jackie was so encouraging, understanding, and worked with us as we rolled with the punches together. On our wedding day, Jackie was so on top of everything and made sure we had scheduled all the time we would need to capture those special moments with each other and with our families & friends. She is SO positive and makes you feel comfortable as yourself despite being behind a camera lens. Jackie quickly got us our photographs back and wow!! they totally exceeded all my expectations. She captured our day so above and beyond what we had hoped. I truly could not be happier with how they all came out!! It has been such a treasure to be able to look back at those photographs and immediately put myself back in those moments. All around she is THE BEST!!!

He also delivered the photos quickly, which was a nice surprise. If you're looking for a photographer who's easygoing and skilled, G's worth checking out. Looking forward to our wedding :)
