We had an amazing experience working with Josh! From the start, he really took the time to understand the look and vibe we were going for, and he nailed it perfectly. He was more than willing to travel to the location we wanted, which made the whole experience even more special. His attention to detail and ability to make us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the shoot really made all the difference. The photos turned out stunning, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who truly caters to your vision!

Hi!! I'm Maria, photographer, mom, wife, and nacho lover. Not listed in any particular order lol Once I had my first born, I realized going back to work at CBS was not what I wanted with 12 hour workdays. I took photography classes and decided to build my own business myself. I have been photographing weddings for the last 6 years and enjoy celebrating this amazing day with all my clients. Cheesy as it may sound, I'm an absolute romantic and I relish in witnessing the love, words said, and the joy found at every wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maria is an amazing photographer! She’s well organized, and does everything she can to get all the shots you want plus ones that you didn’t know you wanted until she shows you the vision. She was fun to work with and I would recommend her a thousand times over. She also works well with your other vendors and is communicative. She made sure our videographer got the shots he needed before we moved onto something else, which we were so appreciative of. Thank you for your hard work in helping document our special day!️

My name is Haley Wilde and I am a digital and 35mm film photographer based in Southern California. I specialize in all things surrounding love because I am a sucker for a good old fashioned love story. I would absolutely love to not only capture you love, but truly celebrate alongside you. I was a wedding planner for 3+ years prior to photography, so my knowledge and genuine passion for the wedding industry and serving my couples sets me apart from other photographers!

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Haley enough for your wedding photography needs! We discovered Haley through Instagram and were immediately impressed by her work. From our very first interaction, Haley was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Haley made the photography aspect seamless. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but Haley's friendly and calming demeanor put us completely at ease during our engagement shoot. She took the time to understand our personalities and preferences, which really showed in the photos. On our wedding day, Haley was a true professional. She was patient, took initiative when needed, capturing all the most precious moments—from our first look with our grandparents to our private vows. The photos turned out beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the way she documented our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures stunning images but also makes you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process, Haley is the one. Whether it's engagements, weddings, or any other special event, Haley's talent and dedication shine through. Don't hesitate to hire her—you won't regret it!

Hey there! My name is Katie and I am a part-time photographer and small business owner. My veins are filled with iced coffee and, most of the time, all I want to do is dance. Unlike most, I began my photography career later in life during my college days where I discovered film photography. I spent countless hours in the dark room developing photographs in chemicals and I loved every minute of it. I would describe my photography style as bold and true to color. My favorite part of photography is capturing moments that tell a story so that no matter how much time passes, you can go back and relive that story over and over again.

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

I spent so much time searching for the perfect photographer and had high hopes for Alex. Even with our high expectations, Alex completely blew us away with his work. He was professional, efficient, friendly, and managed to capture authentic moments we didn’t even notice. We received our wedding photos within a month, and Alex’s work is literally art. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

If you are getting married in SoCal, and it’s important to you to find a team of photographers that make you feel comfortable and make your love shine through the camera, look no further than Peterson Design Photography . Marissa and Tim are not only a great team, communicators and photographers, but they are also pretty awesome to talk to; before, during and after your event. They took great care with our angles and personalities, they really made us shine with joy while taking photos, even when we are far from ideal models. Marissa had impeccable communication to make sure no detail is left to chance, and that was so reassuring to a type-a like me that had tons of checklists and picture inspiration. Being honest, we won a giveaway and didn’t do an economic investment for our elopement, but the value in all their work makes me confident in saying that they are worth it, that YOU and YOUR event are worth the investment, to get pictures that truly capture the real emotions of the day. We are so grateful to Marissa and Tim, and would trust them a million times again with our most precious day

Awarded Best of Zola
I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

Your wedding album transcends time as a cherished heirloom, destined to be passed down through generations. Each detail of your special day merits an exquisite capture, narrating your unique love story with grace and authenticity. Our approach ensures that your wedding remains a celebration of love and not merely a production set for photography, preserving the essence of your day in a luxurious and timeless manner.

I don’t even know where to start, I can’t remember how I came across Kaitlin’s business but I’m so glad I did. She couldn’t have been sweeter. I was on a tight budget and after I received her pricing (which was very fair) I let her know it was out of my budget and she immediately offered to work within my budget and talk through what we could do. I also had my heart set on a videographer and she brought in her friend Nicole, they made the best team and worked so well together. They even offered to meet me for coffee and see the first look spot so I’d feel more comfortable the day of. Fast forward to the important part, Kaitlin is calm, professional, and truly wants the best for what you want during your special day. She does not pressure you to get a shot that doesn’t make you feel comfortable because she wants you to remember the parts of the day most important to you. We received sneak peek photos within 24 hours which was so impressive and they were beautiful, it had me counting down the days until the full album was done! We loved our photos and our friends and family had so many great things to say about them as well. You won’t regret hiring Kaitlin!

From the moment we first connected, we knew it was a perfect fit. Their passion for their craft was infectious, and their genuine interest in our vision was heartwarming.

I’m a fun-loving, passion-chasing, curly-headed gal looking at life through a viewfinder. My happy place is anywhere outside of my comfort zone, but a nature-filled walk chatting up good company is a close second. If I’m not planning my next trip, or dreaming up something to cook for dinner, I’m outside trying to meet my Fitbit step goal. (10k club, anyone?) My latest leap of faith? A cross-country move to sunny Orange County, California. This isn’t the first time I’ve packed up and jetted away from my home state of Maryland: Germany, Singapore, and South Carolina make the list too.

My partner and I decided to elope last minute but we were not sure if we would find a photographer days before the big day. We contacted Alaina and told her the day; she responded promptly and was totally on board. During the portrait session she made us feel very comfortable. The session was fun, it went by fast, and she did a great job at capturing our feelings that day. Would definitely hire again.

For over a decade, I've photographed some of life's biggest moments for my clients and their families. In that time, I've learned to look past the ordinary and capture the heart of each story. I connect with each couple to create photographs that will make you say "That is so us!"

Awarded Best of Zola
Belinda. Is. Amazing. You don't even need to keep reading, you should just go book her for your next photography needs (especially for your wedding). Why is Belinda amazing? First and foremost, her photography is incredible. She took so many gorgeous photos from both our engagement session and our wedding day that are just stunning, many of which now hang in our home (and our families' homes... We spread Belinda's photography far and wide!). Belinda has an amazingly high attention to quality and detail, and the hardest work ethic. So first and foremost, the final products she creates are just incredible. But it's not just the final product that matters; it's also the process of getting there. Your photographer is someone who is going to be sharing and capturing some of your most intimate and important life milestones. You want someone who is a joy to work with (and whose team is a joy to work with), who is organized, calming, and knows how to run the show and keep a cool head when things go off plan (as they inevitably will in ways large or small). That is Belinda. Aside from her photography, her "shepherding" skills were invaluable throughout the entire wedding process, from the preparation, to the day of the wedding, to the follow up (which lasted many more months as we selected our prints, etc.). Plus you get the added bonus of her wonderful husband Collyn, too! Belinda knows how to run the show, and do so in a kind, calming, and discreet way (family drama? Belinda's got it handled!). She keeps you on time, stress-free, and having fun along the way. She makes it so that you can enjoy your special moments AND you get amazing photography out of it, to boot. I can't say enough great things and my husband and I both can't wait to work with Belinda again.

We were really happy to work with Norbert, he was always responsive, flexible and very attentive to our questions. He was very professional and friendly to us at all times. Plus, he gave us some great recommendations around the area that we hadn't even heard of! We have never really had pictures taken of us before in a romantic setting by a professional before, that alone was pretty intimidating for us. Norbert made the entire photo experience a lot less intimidating for us to go through, the pictures came out perfect in the end! Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely recommend him to anyone marrying in the future in need of a photographer.

Hi, I'm Tyler. I started my photography business with a passion for telling real, authentic stories in a way that is visually beautiful. I offer affordable wedding photography, as well as engagement sessions.

From the moment we met Tyler, we knew we had found the perfect photographer. Their energetic and outgoing personalities put us at ease and made the entire photo session fun and enjoyable. The final photos were absolutely stunning - a perfect blend of timeless and modern styles that captured all the special moments beautifully. Tyler and his team's attention to detail and creative vision ensured we have a treasure trove of memories to look back on for years to come. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of Tyler's work, and highly recommend them to any couple.
