Justin McCallum Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Del Mar, CA

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin. TL/DR: Hire Justin. If you are looking for a person who is as responsible as he is fun, whose pictures are an absurdly brilliant mix of editorial, candid, and artistic; who manages to capture the most joyful moments in the most moving ways, look no further. Photography was important to me; as a bride who had many friends go down the aisle before me, I tried to heed their advice: the photographer is perhaps the most important investment you can make. When I saw Justin's pictures, one word came to mind: "joy."  There was a vibrancy and humanity to his work that made me tear up just looking at his website.  This, combined with the very obvious technical skill he possessed, made me thrilled that he was still available on our wedding date.  Our initial phone call set the tone for the whole process: fun and incredibly thorough and organized.  Indeed, throughout the whole process, Justin was our go to for any questions we had; as the photographer, it made sense for him to keep an eye on logistics, but we were unprepared for how above and beyond Justin would go to make sure our day ran smoothly, from the planning process to execution. Don't let his insanely fun personality fool you: at our wedding he was heads and tails the most professional person there, ready with his shot list, keeping things moving; and yet somehow managed to keep the mood light, fun, and a little bit raunchy. Indeed, a good word for Justin is "prepared."  We had a survey to fill out before our big day, to let him know just what elements were most important to us. When I saw the photos, I couldn't believe how closely he had followed this. The sheer artistry on display, and the range of shots, it didn't seem like just one person could be responsible. The variety and quality was incredible.  And that was a direct result of our having asked for that; that is the wonderful thing about Justin, he cares deeply about his clients and pays attention to them; despite his talent there is no ego involved. He also seems to care deeply about his clients' family...and their friends...and all the wedding guests; everyone commented on how friendly and professional and fun he was. I could go on, likely, forever, but a final note: for my husband and I, the most important thing was capturing the people who came that day to celebrate with us; that was what we wanted to remember most.  We told this to Justin, and when I got the pictures back, I was blown away-- his ability to capture the essence of our family and friends, the way he captured distinct mannerisms, gestures...it was uncanny. That requires training, and artistry; but also kindness, empathy and depth.  Justin has all of those in spades.  It was important for my husband and I to hire someone we wanted to spend the day with; we didn't want him to leave! In post-production, Justin has been just as generous with his time and wrapping up any loose ends.  He stays in touch and makes sure you are thrilled with the final product. It was a pleasure to get to know him and we hope we are cool enough for him to be a part of our lives forever!

I cannot recommend Drzazga photo enough. They photographed my engagement and wedding photos. I’ve never had professional photos done and Carly made me feel so comfortable during the whole process! Our photos were beautiful and you can tell we were having a good time taking them. I originally hired her for my wedding before the pandemic changed our plans. She went above and beyond during the rebooking and planning process. She even connected me to a pop up wedding service that allowed my husband and I to have a small intimate, but covid friendly, wedding in August. I’m beyond thankful for her and I can’t wait to work with her again this August!

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 27-year-old wedding photographer based just outside DC in NoVA. Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

I cannot recommend working with Sophia enough. She was communicative, prompt and very efficient. She really worked with us what we wanted for the day in a short time frame and the photos just speak for themselves. We truly could not be happier that we chose to work with her!

We are incredibly grateful Xenia was our engagement/wedding photographer and couldn't be happier with the results! The photos will speak to her technical talent; her professionalism and dedication to her craft are evident in every shot. It was so hard for me to only select 6 photos. What the images don't explicitly show is that Xenia was an absolute joy to work with. She is clear, transparent, and helpful in her communication. Her straightforward and friendly communication ensured we were always on the same page and felt supported throughout the process. While shooting, she is organized and efficient. We got every shot we hoped for and then some. Her enthusiasm and joy were infectious. She made these two awkward nerds feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We cannot recommend Xenia enough! We will cherish the photos you took forever!

We are a wedding + elopement duo serving the Nashville area + some other special places that make us happy. We can’t wait to meet you! We started capturing weddings through covid when we were stuck at home and needed to find some way to be creative. Savannah went to school for videography and Jon is an OG drummer turned videographer that has really enjoyed getting to create. If we aren’t celebrating you and your love story, you can find us at the beach, probably eating some yummy food, and missing our fluff ball kitty at home. We are so easy going and love to be spontaneous with our plans.

Savannah and Jon were a DREAM! Savannah exceeded all of our expectations and created a wedding gallery that we will look back on for years to come. They captured all of the sweet and special moments along with our fun and goofy sides. Their attention to detail is evident in every single photo. Each emotion we felt on our wedding day was beautifully captured by this team!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

Gemini Sun Creative is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer serving Northern California, NYC, Upstate NY & Philadelphia. Owner, Daniela Monzi, specializes in elopement and intimate wedding photography. With each couple she works with, she strives to show off the unique traits of their love story in every photo. Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I eloped last weekend at SF City Hall and just opened our sneak peek of Dani's coverage of the day... The photos are beautiful and so authentic to us as a couple. She did an incredible job and we are so happy that we were able to work with her. Throughout the process, Dani was very communicative and available to answer all of our questions. She also took the time to get to know each of us individually, our story as a couple, and our goals/hopes for the day which I think really contributed to her nailing the vibe we were going for. She helped us brainstorm how to get the most out of our 3-hour shoot time and we were able to get in an impressive amount of shots in two different locations without feeling rushed or stressed. Throughout the shoot, she did a great job balancing directing us with letting us just exist together, which resulted in really natural looking photos of us that don't have an overly-posed look. But she definitely got both of our good sides lol. She also handled a high-traffic wedding day at SF City Hall with grace-- there were lots of couples getting married at the same time and it took some coordinating to get the best shots, but she made it happen! Dani is warm, respectful and kind and brought exactly the kind of energy we needed to our wedding day! It goes without saying, but I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to commemorate their special day.

Weddings by Katherine Marchand

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA. With over a decade of experience and features in Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

Hiring Katherine was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Every single aspect of working with her was perfect: from the first phone consultation to engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, wedding, and every call, email, and question in between. Katherine makes you feel like you're talking to an old friend from the moment you meet her- she is warm, fun, funny, kind, and just knows how to put you at ease in front of the camera. We had a clear vision of what we wanted for our photos and she beyond exceeded our expectations. Every time I look through our photo gallery (which she delivered SO quickly) I find a new favorite, even 1.5 years after our wedding. She truly captured the feeling of being there from the intimate setting of our rehearsal dinner to the rowdy wedding reception. I cannot thank Katherine enough for being such a large part of making our wedding perfect!

I specialize in capturing both the poised elegance and authentic moments, all while harnessing the natural light that defines my business name. Whether your wedding is a lavish affair or an intimate elopement, I'm equipped to handle it all. From climbing mountains for the perfect shot to capturing the charm of a luxurious venue, I'm dedicated to turning your vision into reality.

Calea was amazing from start to finish! I live in GA and got married in OR. All I saw was her IG and a brief conversation to book. I could not be more impressed with her and her work. I put all my faith into her from across the country and she did not let me down. Calea is so easy to work with and she is up for anything! Calea had sneak peaks to us immediately and a full gallery delivered in less than 2 weeks! My husband was skeptical at first but when he saw her work, he was absolutely blown away and how phenomenal she is! Calea also isn't afraid to be the voice if you are uneasy with telling others what they need to do. We had her at our Venue the day of the wedding. The next day we took a trip to Crater Lake and she captured my vision perfectly!! I have recommended Calea and True Light Photography to all of my friends and family!

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephen's style is making candids look very good. I have an issue where I don't "smeyes" (smile with my eyes) and my smile goes flat very easily. He is easy going and gently guides you in the photos so you don't feel forced or uncomfortable. And really, he is able to seamlessly capture you in the moment. I am happy I will be able to cherish those genuine moments he was able to capture for me and my husband. In addition, the standard posed photos were awesome as well. He was organized and straightforward, which I value in a time sensitive event like a wedding. All-in-all A+ for this guy.

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Gabbie for both our engagement photos as well as our day-of wedding photos. 12/10 recommend working with her for both. We had such a fun time working with Gabbie and the photos turned out amazing. She went out of her way to get to know us as a couple during our engagement photo session, and you can tell she kept it all in mind on the day of our wedding. She worked hard to make sure all the special moments were captured, both portraits and candids that we had requested.

HOME STATES: California & Massachusetts | Hey, I'm Justina! in the dead of winter I'll be that person walking around with my iced coffee in one hand and airpods blasting underground hiphop or melodic punk all while thrifting for vintage treasures at your local savers. you'll also find me at creative meetups in boston, playing apex legends or catching up on reality when I'm able to find free time.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Justina as our wedding photographer, and she exceeded all of our expectations! Just looking at her work, we knew she was the one. From our first meeting, it was clear that Justina possesses incredible talent and a true passion for her craft. Her ability to capture the essence of every moment is unmatched. Throughout the planning process, Justina was exceptional in her communication. She took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and any specific shots we wanted. Her responsiveness and professionalism made us feel confident and relaxed, knowing we were in great hands. On our wedding day, Justina went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Her attention to detail and creative approach were evident in every shot. She managed to capture not just the big moments but also the candid, heartfelt interactions that made our day so special (and were a huge priority to us). Her warm and friendly demeanor made it easy for us and our guests to feel comfortable in front of the camera. When we received the final photos, we were blown away by the quality and artistry. Each image was a masterpiece, reflecting the joy, love, and excitement of our celebration - my husband and I both got emotional going through them together. I truly never expected to see such joy captured in every moment of our day, and I am so grateful. Justina has a remarkable ability to tell a story through her lens, and we will cherish these memories forever. How lucky are we to have found her! If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, Justina is the one. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Memo really came to the rescue when we had originally booked with a studio that flaked two days prior to the wedding. Memo was extremely patient and understanding of our situation and offered us a very generous and flexible rate to accommodate us with such short notice. He maintained a positive attitude during the whole event even when the circumstances were not ideal. Memo is very professional and friendly, you can tell he is passionate about his work. We were so happy with our photos, I would definitely book him again for an anniversary shoot or a family shoot. Thanks again, Memo. :)

My approach to wedding photography is one part editorial and one part sentimental candids. I want to capture all the details you have chosen to have on your wedding day and all the guests you have invited to share this moment. You will have a fun & joyful experience and receive natural-looking, artful photos that look like they belong in a magazine. My edit is a bright, true-to-color crisp edit. I care deeply about skin tones looking true to life, and my edit is centered around that.

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

She works in both digital and film mediums and her work has been featured in publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, Destination I Do and Brides.

Awarded Best of Zola
Since receiving our wedding photos from Jess, several of my friends and family members (including 2 professional photographers!) have asked me for her contact info because of how amazing her photos are!! When we started looking for a wedding photographer, we knew that we needed to find someone with a great eye for candids, who wouldn't make our pictures feel too staged, who had a fun/funky vibe like us, and who could handle wrangling my extremely large family (full of very opinionated people) for family photos, and Jess handled everything with ease! I feel so lucky that we found Jess, and I cannot recommend her more. Jess made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding day, and even gave guidance to family members who are normally awkward in photos (e.g. suggesting ways to pose to make them more comfortable). Jess went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, checking in with us, getting to know us, and even coming to a venue walkthrough so she could get a sense of the space! I am so grateful for all of the work Jess put into our wedding, and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I rarely even like photos of myself, but I honestly am so in love with the ones that Jess took that I jump on every opportunity to whip out my phone and share them with friends!

Masha is an incredible photographer. As a fellow wedding photographer, finding the right person to document our colorful wedding on Maui took some time, but as soon as I talked to Masha and saw her full wedding galleries I knew she was the one! She took such care to get to know us the months leading up to the wedding and on the day made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Just a few days after our wedding she sent over the most beautiful sneak peeks. When I saw them I immediately started crying she just captured our day so beautifully!! I highly recommend Masha for her artistic eye, professionalism, attention to detail, and the care she puts into her job. She is fantastic!!
