I cannot praise GarciaPics.com enough, he went above and beyond for my recent wedding. He is a true artist and a master at his work. As an anxious bride, Carlos made me feel comfortable and at ease. Many of my wedding guests complimented his professionalism and overall demeanor. He was much more than a photographer and ensured everything went smoothly for my wedding day. You can tell he truly takes pride in his work. We received our photos sooner than initially anticipated and all we can say is, “WOW!”. The emotion and detail in each photo is impeccable.

Jess was beyond amazing and made our day so special. It was incredible how beautiful our pictures turned out and she captured everything I could have ever imagined and beyond. It was actually quite impressive looking through the wedding album after we received it because Jess seemed like she was everywhere all of the time. She captured every moment sometimes with different angles and I am so grateful to be able to relive our wedding day while looking through the photos. I thought I would regret not having a videographer but Jess truly captured everything from start to finish and that the day just comes back to life when I look through all of the photos. As she captured our wedding day she was soooo very patient with my husband and I, our family, and all our friends. Everyone spoke so highly of her after our wedding and really appreciated having a relaxed, caring, funny, kind, and professional photographer. She also helped me while getting ready and truly made it so I could fully enjoy my wedding. I also asked her to shoot my graduation photos and lets just say I don't think I will ever inquire for a different photographer. I am looking forward to continuing to have her capture precious moments in my life for as long as she continues photography. Thank you for being more than I could have ever hoped for and capturing some of the most memorable days in my life and making them so extremely special. You are the best Jess!!! 3

Natalie is amazing! I was so thankful to find her relatively last minute before my wedding. She created a very detailed timeline that we used for all of our vendors. Natalie was always quick to respond if I ever had any questions. I was so excited to receive so many photos in our sneak peaks just a few days after the wedding. Natalie and her assistant photographer really captured every moment at my wedding. The turn around time for edits blew me away. I could not recommend her enough! Hopefully soon we will be using her for a family shoot ;)

HI, I’M HILLARIE HUGHES . I am a lifestyle/wedding photographer based out of Merced, CA. I’m 30 years old, a wife and a mother to four beautiful kids. It's safe to say that I'm a VERY busy mama! You can catch me with my kindle when I’m not editing, and being as active as I can be in my children's lives. Never in a million years did I think that people would love my photos as much as they do, but I am so grateful and so blessed! I am learning more and more every session that I have, and have been incredibly lucky to have such awesome clients (turned into forever friends!) that have been with me during this entire journey.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Hillarie was the best decision I could have made for my wedding. I had a wedding at a venue she had never been to, and was a little nervous about her not being familiar with the grounds. My nerves were silly because she absolutely killed it. She over delivers and is the sweetest calm in the chaos. I wish I could relive my wedding day over and over, including having her there. I am so happy I went with her.

For starters, I'm truly just your average woman who is constantly re-watching her favorite shows like Yellowstone + Greys Anatomy - I've got my hair in a bun, cozy sweatpants on and a beer logo boyfriend tee. I'm typically swing dancing in the kitchen to 'CoJo' or cookin' up some bomb ass pizza on the BBQ with my man. I'm originally from the Biggest Little City in Nevada, but I dream of owning a paint horse ranch in the texas, with a big open white and black barn and room for all my dogs! You know the ones we all see on pinterest.... but my new home in Georgia is everything I could have dreamt up and more.

Vic was the best photographer my husband and I have ever worked with!!! We hired her for our wedding and she was so professional and fun to work with. My family, bridal party and guest loved her! Vic had us laughing the entire time and made us feel comfortable with posing and suggested us the best ideas too. After a week or 2 after the wedding we got our photos and they were breathtaking!! Most photos I didn’t realized she captured since she was so quick on her feet. It looks like there was 3 photographers since she got all angles from the ceremony, speeches, and dances. We are so impressed by how amazing she is. We highly recommend her to photograph any event you have and want to make sure everything is captured!

Natalie and Pedro are the absolute best!! Not only are they both so kind, friendly, and personable, but so professional, patient, and organized. From the start of the planning process, I felt at ease with Natalie. I appreciate the fast communication, along with how open and upfront she is about everything, I really didnt have to ask her any questions. I am not photogenic at all lol and was so nervous about taking photos, but they made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I appreciated the directions they gave and how my husband and I could be silly and have a fun time whiIe taking pictures. I highly recommend having both Natalie and Pedro, you can never go wrong with 2 photographers! I got my sneak peeks yesterday and I am in total awe of the photos, I literally cried at how stunning they are. I cannot wait to see them all. You want Natalie and Pedro to capture your special day.

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.

Dani (Elle & Co Photography) has an art of being professional while also being laid back and understanding. We had a lot of things pop up on our wedding day and Dani knew how to take charge and keep things going but she has a safe energy and made everyone in our group feel super comfortable. She was a great addition to our day! Not to mentioned was very accommodating to what we’ve wanted and our photos are actually pieces of ART. I cannot believe how amazing our photos turned out. I had a dream of having head turning wedding photos but I wasn’t confident I was capable of having them because I don’t know to pose or act in front of the camera and Dani made it happen for us. We are so happy with our photos and will be bugging Dani for years to come to continue to capture us.

With seven years of experience and all five-star reviews, I bring a friendly, grounded presence to your day — the kind that helps you relax, enjoy the moment, and trust that everything is being captured with care.

Awarded Best of Zola
We discovered Gui on Zola and reached out because of his experience with photographing marriages for various cultures and from various backgrounds. Gui's photographs also caught our eye as there were great candid shots to capture the moment and sweet posed ones. When we met with Gui over zoom to get to know each other, he was kind, responsive, and knowledgable. Gui helped put us at ease, and it was a fairly quick decision to go with him after we met. We did an engagement photo session with Gui. He was very flexible when the park we wanted to do the session at was closed. We were able to pivot, and Gui took incredible photos in the new location. Gui also did not pressure us always asking if we were okay with the poses, but adjusting us for better shots. We were so happy with the engagement photos. On the day of the wedding, Gui was prompt and punctual. We took a few shots before the ceremony. During the ceremony, Gui captured all the key moments, but we also received compliments from our guests that he did not distract or take away from teh ceremony. Gui did great with the family photos and was very gracious in the many photos with friends during the reception. We cannot recommend Gui enough. His demeanor helped to relieve any stress around the photos both during the engagement session and the wedding. Gui's experience with many different couples has helped him develop cultural sensitivity which he uses to capture and highlight the unique moments of their ceremony. Thank you so much, Gui, for all your help during the wedding.
