Ditto Dianto Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves El Cerrito, CA

I'm a fine art wedding photographer based in Northern California and beyond. After discovering my love for photography, I always knew I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. I am so fortunate to call this my job for over five years! My photography work often describe as romantic, soft, bright and natural that lend itself from my love of film look and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two Tabbies. I would absolutely love to get to know you and be your photographer!

Ditto and his assistant showed up early and started taking amazing photos right off the bat. The pre-wedding communication was timely. He was easy to work with and brought calm energy to a day when stress can permeate the fun out of it. We immediately received a high volume, beautiful sneak peak the evening after the wedding which was a fun surprise and a great way to start our honeymoon admiring the gorgeous photos. If you are considering Ditto Diante Photography for your wedding, I would highly recommend him.

AJ Reilly has been a professional photographer and cinematographer for over 8 years with an emphasis in weddings, creative fine art, and portraitures. He loves capturing the beauty of others and empowering people from behind the lens. He has mastered an array of lighting techniques to blend controlled and natural light for any style.

He was an absolute pro, expertly capturing every moment despite WIND, weather, difficult guests, and me and my husband’s different skin tones, making sure we both looked our best. He handled everything with ease, made us feel super comfortable and taken care of, and he delivered absolutely stunning shots that exceeded all our expectations! Every single photo we received was amazing—truly more than we could have asked for

The Ganeys 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves El Cerrito, CA

I’ve always been the girl with the camera. In high school, my idea of a good time was planning photoshoots with my friends and editing our high school yearbook. But when I got to college, I felt like I needed to get a practical degree, so I chose the most creative business major I could find – marketing. Then I met Thomas. My photo hobby became something more because he recognized my passion and encouraged me to make it a reality. He’s been my second shooter since the very first wedding.

I've been putting off writing this review because I feel like no words can fully explain the amazing experience I had with the Ganeys. I first met Emily and Thomas when I was a bridesmaid in my friends' wedding in Florida, which the Ganeys were shooting! Based on that day and the resulting photos, I knew how talented this pair was and I REALLY wanted them for my own wedding. After getting engaged, I actually reached out to Emily before we even had a venue or date booked. Once they signed on to be our wedding photographers, my (already high) expectations were totally exceeded. I loved how organized, detailed-oriented, and responsive Emily was as we planned our engagement shoot and wedding day. At the engagement shoot, they did an amazing job including our 2 golden retrievers and shooting in sub-optimal weather conditions. Emily is so kind, thoughtful, and talented as a photographer, and Thomas is the secret ingredient that makes grooms everywhere feel at ease! This husband and wife team communicates so well and I believe that is part of the reason why they make their jobs look so effortless and fun on your wedding day and why the photos are so breathtaking. We can't wait to host Emily and Thomas at our house in a few weeks, and show off the way we've displayed their photos around the house!! I would be more than happy to share my full gallery and answer questions from any other brides/grooms considering the Ganeys.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories.

Fox & Fig Photography

  • Serves El Cerrito, CA

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't think that I can sing the praises of Fox and Fig enough (pun completely intended since I am a music teacher!)!! We couldn't be HAPPIER with our wedding photos from Fox and Fig Photography! Sarah and her second shooter made our day so MAGICAL and we are mesmerized by our images! As a PLUS SIZE BRIDE, I experienced THE WORST engagement session through another photographer. The angles were horrible and the posing was weird/awkward and my (now) husband and I just cringe when we look at them. It was definitely the thing I worried about the most for our wedding photos. AND THEN WE MET SARAH. Sarah is the most down-to-earth and sweetest soul you will ever meet. Her confidence and genuine love for her clients are what immediately drew me to her. She really took the time to learn about us and to understand our vision for our images. She also immediately assured me that our images would be DRASTICALLY different than our engagement photos and that she was comfortable with creating flattering lines and posing of couples of all shapes and sizes. AND LET ME TELL YOU, she did not disappoint!! SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING! My goal for our wedding day was PEACE and Sarah and her second shooter fell right into "the flow". We were completely unaware of them during our ceremony and their gentle guidance through the day put everyone at ease (including my "STIFF" husband! HAHA!), which helped create the most precious moments and treasured images. Do not think twice about booking Fox and Fig! You won't regret hiring them, but I wholeheartedly believe that you will regret NOT having them capture your special moments.

Roberta Nicole Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves El Cerrito, CA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
It's hard to properly describe our gratitude for Roberta. We ended up using her twice: once in an intimate ceremony for just our family, and again at our full blown reception a year later. No one could possibly be prepared for what happened in 2020, but Roberta from the outset was flexible, creative, and patient as we put together the pieces of two completely different weddings. Photography was the most important vendor we scouted because not only did we want beautiful, timeless photos- which we got- we also wanted to feel relaxed and comfortable around someone who would spend most of the day with us. We had so much trust in Roberta and her vision which helped us sit back and enjoy the day. We are so happy with how everything turned out and hope we find an opportunity for her to capture more of our life moments down the road.

I highly recommend working with Jasmine. From the moment I emailed her to inquire for my wedding I knew she was the one. She was absolutely professional and very punctual with everything. In terms of communication, she responds to emails very quickly and answers your questions in a very professional and unhurried manner. She’s very prompt on posting on social media but yet managed to set aside some time to answer my silly questions on top of just doing a wedding- thought she was a miracle worker then! She did our engagement session where she sent us some questionnaire and tips on locations, how to look your best, props etc! Then of course, it was no surprise that the photos were undeniably beautiful. On our wedding day, she captured special moments and everyone’s candids that my husband and I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling about. You would just nod and say “how did she capture that?!”. Jasmine Lee is worth every bit of your penny if you are ever hesitant hiring her, because not only she delivers great quality wedding pictures but she has the best work ethic which motivated and inspired me as well. Not only I gained to know a good photographer, but I also gained a good friend. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. To all the couples looking for a photographer for your wedding, do not hesitate hiring Jasmine Lee, she’s priceless! ;-)

She made sure every detail was perfect, from organizing the procession to adjusting my dress and setting up the perfect shots. The photos turned out to be beyond anything I could have imagined. Vivi captured all the moments I hoped for, with every shot full of life and emotion. Even my friends were amazed by the quality of the photos.

Real Connections. Raw Emotions. Candid Moments. 

 These are the values behind what we do. These three words are the heart and soul of our work and everything we do is based around adventure and authenticity. When you hire us, you are hiring photographers who truly care about the experience you will have on your day. We don’t mind getting a little dirty or wet. We don’t mind staying until after dark to get the perfect shot. We don’t mind the hikes, or the time in-between each event. We are truly there for you and to tell the story of your day exactly as it happens

I don’t even know where to begin to express how much we loved Candance and her husband Corey. My husband doesn’t easily warm up to new people, and he especially hates being the center of attention and hates taking photos. Both of the photographers made each of us feel so comfortable. We really felt like we had a great connection with them. Our engagement photos and our wedding photos are above and beyond what we could have hoped for. They are absolutely a work of art and you can tell that they love what they do. We absolutely believe that this team was meant to be a part of our lives and our big day. Even our wedding party told us how cool the photographers were. Thank you so much for being a part of our dream. We love you

Animus-Art photography consists of two amazing humans, Pedro & B, who are even more perfect when they come together. Working with them on our engagement and wedding was nothing short of a fun adventure. My husband and I are not exactly naturals on camera, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at the images they captured. Pedro & B are fun, creative, passionate, hard-working and incredibly talented!! They go above and beyond to get the perfect shot! Their work is exceptional and speaks for itself. I couldn’t imagine the images being any more perfect. But aside from that, Pedro & B offer something truly special with their personalities and work ethic. They weren’t just our photographers- especially on the wedding day- they took on so many roles. They were like the best friend who never left our sight. While we were getting ready, Pedro spent much of the time with my husband and the boys, and B stayed with me and the girls. B was my superwoman on my wedding day. She wasn’t just one of my photographers - she was my maid of honor, my friend, my event coordinator, my personal assistant, my therapist. She just seemed to be there every second of the day, willing and ready to help out in every way. All this, while she snapped hundreds of beautiful, creative photos. Pedro is the kind of photographer who listens while you describe your ideal look to your hair dresser so that he can make sure it stays that way all night. And as he prompts you to fix your hair 3 hours into your reception, you smile with pride because you know you hired the best photographers in the world. The level of attention they pay to detail is unreal! They anticipate your needs before you even know about them. They capture real moments in a beautiful way. They know how to take photos while letting you be yourself- no constant stopping and prompting. In my opinion, those make for the best shots. They have so much fun doing what they do, it’s infectious. I am so so happy that they were our wedding photographers and hope to have them capture other important events in our future. Absolutely THE BEST!!!

For me, searching process was very responsible and not easy at all, because I work in a related area and had a clear understanding of what result I want to get in terms of style, mood and locations. The budget was also an important factor. Finding a photographer who would meet all the requirements and will be free in our date seemed almost impossible… But after texting to Valeria and starting to talk about the details, I breathed a sigh of relief because I realised - that’s it! The shooting process was also very easy and intuitive, we collaborated as a single creative team and definitely had fun(: In addition, we fit perfectly into the timing, which also proves Valeria's professionalism. And I'm sure that this photoshoot is not the the last one we do with Valeria(:

Highly recommended Rob for your wedding. He helps make everything as stress-free as possible. From the initial Zoom call to coordinating on the day, Rob was always on hand to reassure you. Rob worked incredibly hard over a 12 hour day with multiple locations including the hotel in the morning and some very busy streets in Soho. He made sure we got all the family and group photos as well as the more candid moments we wanted throughout the day. Rob is not only a fantastic photographer who can translate your vision into reality but someone you can feel instantly comfortable around. Great for a couple who don't like their pictures being taken!

Avery Wong Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves El Cerrito, CA

I can tell you how I started shooting photos since I was a young wee lad, but that's what everyone else says and also it's not true. I didn't even pick up a camera until I was in high school. I'm the type of person who ignores convention and does it differently, my own way. Seldom the "right" way, but always the "Wong" way. My passion for creativity and my adeptness of the tech and the technical is what allows me to weave my craft and to produce art for my couples.

When my now husband and I were looking for a photographer, we made a tier list. After lots of weeding out of mediocre photographers, we narrowed our selections down to two. We resolved to contact the last two to see which one we wanted to go with. From the minute I first met Avery on zoom, I knew that I wanted to work with him. Not only are his photos phenomenal and extremely cinematic, they are somehow able to tell a story in the photo. I felt moved looking at some of his albums and I wondered how he was able to do that. When we actually got to working with him on our wedding day, I understood his process: He actually knows how to pose a model and gives clear instructions on where to put your hand, when to tilt head down, where to look, etc. This is what I was specifically looking for, as I've had some photographers who were just 'okay' that snapped away but gave no direction as to what to do. I think this is the mark of an excellent photographer and one who has clearly done many weddings. My butt looks great in all the photos. :) Also, I feel like I would qualify as a quirky bride, and he totally embraced that and took photos of my multiple plushies. That's a 100 in my book.
