Brittney Raine Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Serves El Cajon, CA

**PSA: Please inquire via website instead of through Zola!** I'm Brittney, a wedding and portrait photographer from Los Angeles. I'm a houseplant enthusiast, traveler (no place is too far), enneagram 4, binge-watcher of The Office, ice cream lover, and introvert fascinated by human emotion + connection. Photographing weddings has truly been my dream job, and I feel so honored every time I'm invited to capture intimate moments in peoples’ lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittney is absolutely the best photographer on the planet, I would hire her 100 times over. From our first to our last interaction with her she has been incredible, supportive, professional, understanding, super easy to work with and is truly a world class talent. She captures the moment how it TRULY existed, which makes the photo just stop you in your tracks and takes your breath away. She NEVER made us feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, which was a first time for both of us. The albums she’s delivers are gorgeous, authentic, mesmerizing, and truly one of a kind. Everyone we showed the album to was so freakin impressed and constantly said how perfect she captured the day. She made our wedding day perfect, she made everything we asked of her work, she was never over bearing and she wasted no one’s time. I cannot find all the words to express to you how perfect Brittney was as a wedding photographer, but I just know that my husband and I are still in awe of her and feel like the luckiest bride and groom because of her! Don’t overthink it, hire her right now.

Congratulations future newly weds! Christa here! I cannot wait to capture one of the best day of your life. Through photography, I am able to share my attention to detail with others so that they can reminisce on the moments that seem to pass far too quickly.

My husband and I far from regret booking Christa Gray for our wedding. Her precise attention to detail, professionalism, and expertise made a normally hectic day more enjoyable. She also made sure to incorporate my ideas into some of the photos showing she truly wishes to make her services a memorable experience for not only the day, but for a lifetime. I would highly recommend booking Christa Gray as now my husband and I have fantastic images to remember this day and we cannot thank her enough!

Why have a wedding day coordinator, when you can have Kristy??? I hired Kristy knowing the work would be phenomenal, but did not know how she ran the show! I had a day of coordinator who was also my florist. Girl, was no where to be found when I needed her and asked me too many question day of that I repeated told her to ask my made of honor. When Kristy showed up, Kristy had a plan and activated the plan. Her timing was down to a T! She made friends with the other vendors, kept everyone on a schedule, and helped me feel utterly calm on a stressful day. HIRE. KRISTY.

Emilie Leazier Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves El Cajon, 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 alongside Emilie in multiple capacities - I’ve been her assistant for her events/styled shoots, she’s worked alongside me for a wedding, and more. I just have to say that she treats everyone the same, with the kindest heart, guiding them, and helping them feel the most comfortable in front of the camera - whether it’s others in the industry, her own clients, or someone else’s. She puts in the most effort for her clients that she is able to really bring the vision to life. Any chance that you can be in front of Emilie’s camera, I highly recommend it!

Kristina Lee Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves El Cajon, 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
I was referred to Kristina by my wedding venue's coordinator. I was having a destination wedding at a private estate and she had shot several weddings and shoots there before. Knowing that she knew the venue and seeing her work, I knew she was a top contender. Having great quality photos was hugely important to me, and that was something I wasn't willing to sacrifice quality on. Her style was exactly what I wanted—natural, soft, minimally edited, and not overly posed. However, a good wedding photographer is an investment, so I wanted to meet with her first. Luckily, she lives in the same town as I do, so I didn't have to travel to the destination to meet her.When I joined her for a glass of wine, we instantly clicked and I was immediately a YES. Before my husband would sign on the dotted line, he wanted to meet her as well. We met for a 2nd time, all three of us, and he also loved her right away. Having that connection to a photographer is SO important to make you feel comfortable throughout the event and truly trust them (photos are awkward, right?). The day could not have run more smoothly, thanks in large part to Kristina. She made taking photos fun for everyone and our bridal party also fell in love with her. Aside from being fun and personable, she was professional and kept us on a tight timeline. She also made sure we fit everything in on my wishlist: first look, first look with my dad, bridal party photos, family photos, table photos, dancing, the hora...didn't miss ANYTHING. I'm so in love with my photos from that day and so happy to have those lifelong memories. Since then, she's become a great friend. Anytime I want photos taken for a life event, I will ONLY use her. She's taken family holiday photos, photos of my pups, professional photos for my husband, and I will keep using only her for family photos in the future.

Simply cannot recommend and blow the horn loud enough or long enough for the mastery that is Jean Marshall. Facing a nearly unruly crowd of excited and well meaning but utterly nailing jello to a tree disconnected from reality, she somehow calmly, coolly (Clint Eastwood got nothing on her..) shepherded cats and created a spectacular flow of heartfelt images that will not only stand the test of time, but are treasured daily. Thank you again, Jean. You truly rock!

I am a photographer born in Japan, raised in Hawaii, based in Orange County, CA.

I’ve worked with Miku for two photo shoots, for my graduation and engagement. Both final products were spectacular and they’re worth more than I paid for. Overall, she is a talented photographer! She is so good at capturing the moment, so her work takes me back to and reminds me the moment vividly. Also, she is competent in catching what her clients want and also excel in understanding photography trends. During the photo shoots, she’s made good & precise instructions for posing and those kept me relax and be natural in front of camera for the whole time. I’d recommend her 120% for not only engage/wedding photo but also for any occasion you want your precious moment to be captured!

For the romantic explorers who are planning their intimate wedding in California, I am a California-raised, golden-coast obsessed, documentary-style wedding photographer who can’t get enough of the beautiful outdoor venues this state has to offer. 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.

Planning your wedding? You need Kait! Her work is beautiful and you can definitely check out her instagram to see for yourself. But here are the things social media does not capture: She is professional and the sweetest photographer ever! For my wedding day, she helped me stay calm and collected, she was my friend in those private moments of the day, and she checked in on how my husband and I were feeling during our couple shoot. She’s so flexible, as one should be, because sometimes… things do not go as planned! We had one initial meeting before we signed a contract, and then another meeting a few weeks before the big day where I was a total spaz because of a personal matter but she gave me a lot. She’s definitely worth it and I only hope I can somehow work with her again someday.

Hi! My name is Bailey and I am the owner of Baileaves Photography. I am a travel and destination wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I travel all over the world to create timeless cinematic images of couples.

We are so grateful to have had Bailey as our wedding photographer. She was very kind, respectful, and professional. My partner and I loved how encouraging and supportive she was. We appreciated how and where she posed us, taking into consideration where the lighting was going, especially since we had many passing clouds affecting the sun exposure. As a result, she got a lot of wonderful pictures with gorgeous dappled lighting and beautiful greenery. She sent us previews of our wedding within 48 hours and she sent us the rest of our photos by the deadline she communicated with us at the beginning. Knowing how awesome our previews turned out, it was no surprise that the rest of our photos also turned out as amazing. We are very happy to have worked with her! Thanks, Bailey!!

Eli Holmes Photo + Film 

2.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves El Cajon, 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.

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.

She has a fantastic eye for detail so all those little shots, the ones you think of and the ones you don’t, will be captured. When it comes to communication, she is personable, friendly, and very responsive. We have used her for just for fun photos, our wedding photos, welcoming our dog to the family, and what seems to be our new tradition having a photoshoot right around the time of our anniversary each year. We have already decided all life events that we want captured, Savannah will be the one we call. You won’t be disappointed!!

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.

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.

Hi! I’m Marci, but I also go by Mars. I’m a photographer who specializes in analog film photography, but I also offer digital photography and am typically shooting both on a wedding day. My greatest inspiration comes from organic moments, lived-in details, cinematic storytelling and human connection — I take all these influences into consideration when photographing a wedding day and like to consider my approach documentary with an editorial flare.

Working with Marci was an absolute pleasure. From our first interaction, she was easy-going, attentive, and genuinely kind - putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Her work is effortless, sincere, and authentic, beautifully capturing all the special moments of our wedding day. Marci has a keen eye for details and feelings, and you can really feel that in the photos. She was great at capturing candid, natural moments without forcing anything.

That is how we would describe Jamaal's work! From the first consultation, he was very flexible and responsive to putting together a package that fit our needs. His sense of professionalism, yet amicable personality made it very comfortable to work with Jamaal. While taking the pics, he allowed us to just be ourselves, catching many candid shots so the photoshoot felt natural. He made us feel very comfortable throughout all the shoots we did. His finished products are stunning, not to mention he turns it around super fast!! From the 1st consultation all the way to the wedding day, he was always quick to respond and punctual to everything (true story: he showed up like 3hrs before so he could scope spots for our engagement shoot). We will surely use Visuals by J. McKenzie for any other future photography needs!! Thanks Jamaal!!!

For us, it is all about documenting your day as it unfolds. We are believers that the best photographs come from letting everything flow. We don't believe in interrupting special moments to get a safe (posed) photo. On the contrary, we capture all moments: the fun, the crazy, the unexpected. We will get your dad in tears when he sees you in your wedding gown, and will also take your nephew in the middle of a tantrum. All that is part of your story. When you see your photos in 5 years, you will remember how your special day FELT and not only how it looked. You don't have to worry about photos, you just have to enjoy your day at the fullest.

I'm a follower of Jesus, adventure lover, wife to Josiah (my husband of four years, personal chef, and favorite weirdo), and dog mom to Solo (the sweetest chihuahua you'll ever meet). When I'm not working, you'll find me with a friend at a coffee shop or curled up at home with a good book or a show; most likely a rom com. I'm a big fan of morning light, cold brew coffee, and dark chocolate anything. My favorite travel destination is the Oregon coast and my perfect day would consist of the beach, hiking, good food, and close friends.

My husband and I had Annie take our engagement photos and she also photographed our wedding day... To say we were pleased with her work would be an absolute understatement. Not only does the quality of Annie's work speak for itself, but Annie is a JOY to work with! She is kind, thoughtful, caring, professional, VERY well organized, and an excellent communicator. Throughout the wedding planning process, Annie checked in on us to see how we were doing. She was someone I felt like I could go to to ask questions and get feedback about the day's schedule, details about the order of events, etc. She was so much more than just a photographer for us -- her kindness and care for us took away our nerves about the big day and made us so excited! I HIGHLY recommend Crawford Photo Co. Outstanding service, exceptional quality, and genuinely a joy to work with.

The Honeymooners Productions are a husband and wife duo who are determined to live life like they are on their honeymoon! They specialize in both PHOTO AND VIDEO which simplifies you’re planning process and budget. Their energy for life and love makes them PASSIONATE about your wedding experience! Let's get this party started! Email us about your wedding! We would LOVE to hear alllllllll about your day and your love!

Let me start this off by saying at the top of my lungs - WE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE HONEYMOONERS PRODUCTIONS!! Now that I've gotten that off my chest, here are the reasons why we recommend them to the highest extent: As a lesbian couple it was very important for my wife and I to find a photo & video vendor that was LGBTQ+ friendly. When we asked The Maddie and Luke about that, they instantly made us feel comfortable with their answer. Before the (first) wedding date, they were in constant communication with us and made a point to get to know us well before the big day. Then the pandemic hit, and we had to postpone our wedding. We had already paid our deposit to The Honeymooners and several other vendors. Other vendors were not as kind or accommodating to the change, but The Honeymooners stayed in communication with us through the changes and made it easy. Maddie & Luke had stayed in contact with us throughout, checking in periodically. 1 year later, we had to postpone again due to the on-going pandemic and once again Maddie & Luke took it in stride. They never gave us a reason to worry that they would come through for us. FINALLY, we had our big day. As soon as Maddie and Luke got to the venue it all made sense why we liked them so much. They greeted us like old friends. They were warm, kind, organized, and extremely professional. They just went for it at every step. They just never missed a beat. The few times I asked them to capture a photo of this or a video of that, they had already done it before I even thought of it. Even in how they directed us to pose or activities to capture on camera, it was all perfectly us. Not a single moment felt forced. I truly believe that because they took the time to get to know us before the wedding, that is what made everything they did feel so utterly authentic to us a couple. If it sounds like I am obsessed with them, it is 100% because I am. They weren't just the photo & video vendors that we hired for our wedding, they became our friends through this process. We had an absolute blast with them, and we laughed together all day. They literally made our wedding even better, and I believe that if we hadn't had them there it wouldn't have even been as fun as it was. The very next day after the wedding they sent us about 8 photos, already retouched and perfected as previews of our gallery. We were blown away by how they captured us and our love in just these few photos. What is more is they also created a 1 minute preview video that we have watched about 1,000 times already. Everything from the moments they included, to the song they chose was PERFECTION for us. 1 month after the wedding, they sent us our full photo gallery, full wedding video, and individual videos of specific moments. We were floored by the quality of their work. Everything is even better than we ever expected and we are so thankful to have those memories from the best day of our lives. I also have to note that I am in fashion so I have worked with a ton of photographers and videographers in my career - I can say with professional confidence that Maddie & Luke are some of the most talented people behind a camera I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I could go on and on about these two beautiful humans, but to sum it up - there are not strong enough words for how much we recommend The Honeymooners Productions to every couple (especially our LGBTQ+ family who need that kind of love and care). We love you Maddie & Luke!

It is such a joy to be around couples celebrating the best day of their lives. Every time I'm behind the camera, I'm reminded of why I love my job. 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!

It was such a pleasure working with Amelia for our wedding. She is so fun to work with and extremely professional. I actually did a boudoir shoot with her as a little wedding gift for the hubs and she immediately made the experience so fun and comfortable. Our photos turned out incredible and she made the experience feel so effortless. I cannot recommend her enough!

The title says it all 2 of my best friends had already booked Ally & Andre, and seeing how they worked on our wedding day, was the reason I knew they would shoot my wedding, (even though I didn't have a partner at the time). Years later, they were the first vendors I booked. I wanted a romantic feel to my wedding photos, and they were fully executed, and I say that full-heartedly as I am a photographer myself. ( I am also picky) Out of all the things that came out of our wedding, our photos were our favorite. Ally and Andre were the most relaxing part of my day, and even though I was so stressed and my groom was hungover, their calm demeanor just made our day so much more special. I highly recommend them and expect more of my friends to use them!

Jason Snorlax Photography

  • Serves El Cajon, CA

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.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

I don't even know where to begin! I knew Simone was our number one choice from the first time I looked at his website. His photos are beautiful, adventurous, and somehow classic AND edgy. Simone was so quick to respond to my initial inquiry and we were able to meet up in person that same week and for us there was no looking back. Our experience with Simone was nothing short of perfect and we truly felt like we not only had a great photographer but a great friend, throughout the whole process. Planning a wedding can be stressful but Simone made the engagement and wedding photo experience so easy and fun for us and we are SO happy with our photos- both engagement and wedding photos. We can't recommend Mastrosimo Photography enough. Thank you!!!!

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!!!!!!
