Shutter & Sound 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves El Toro, CA

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

DereckDavisPhotography

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves El Toro, CA

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 is an incredible photographer and provides very personable, professional, and timely services. I was pleasantly surprised he agreed to drive far and meet us in person before I confirmed for him to my photographer at my wedding. When we met, my husband and I felt very at ease with him as he was patient, professional, and kind. The payment process was very smooth and easy and he was clear about what would be included in the package. Dereck spent time to reach out and collaborate with me before the wedding to discuss expectations and timeline, so it calmed my nerves that he was organized during this stressful planning process. On the actual wedding day, Dereck had injured his ankle, but was clearly hustling despite his pain/injury and walking around the spacious venue to get not only get shots of my dress and personal items, but also running back and forth between bride/groom’s rooms to capture the intimate moments before the ceremony. He was committed and willing to explore the entire venue to capture photos in different locations to offer various background in our photos, which we appreciated. My husband and I are camera shy, but Dereck was very skilled in directing us in what kind of poses work best. Throughout dinner, he captured photos of all our friends/family table-by-table before taking his own meal break. Dereck provided the final photo and video product in a very timely manner and was much quicker than what I had heard from my other friends’ experiences (they said they had waited 6 months for any photos), but I only waited 6 weeks, which is completely reasonable. There was an issue with delivering the final USB, but Dereck was so dedicated he was willing to drive, once again, very far distances to drop it off at our home. After reviewing the final photos and videos, we are more than satisfied with the final product. He delivered exactly what I had asked for regarding a more dramatic effect in the teaser videos and audio vs. solely music over the highlight video. My husband and I had a super fun time laughing on our couch going through all the photos, watching all the clips, reliving the best night of our lives, and being able to watch our friends enjoy our wedding. Dereck provided numerous very well-edited photos that either fixed the lighting or captured different focuses and provided so many videos, which we truly enjoyed. I would highly recommend Dereck’s services!

Hello. I'm Steven. Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming a professional in 2017, I have serviced over 80 weddings at diverse locations in my career. Throughout 3 years of my profession, I have chosen the path of fine art photography, which embraces natural colors, rich content, and especially real-time emotions. Contrary to traditional documentary photographers, my goal is to capture every special moment of your wedding day by praising the beauty through lighting and composition.

Awarded Best of Zola
Steven was the photographer for my wedding last April. It was so easy working with him during the entire process. He would tell us what to do during our prewedding photoshoots, so we didn't have to worry about it. The photos came out exactly how we expected them to be. Steven is very nice, funny, and responsive. Whatever questions I had, I could just text, email, or call him. More importantly, he pays attention to DETAILS! A lot of times, he would help me or my wife to fix our hair, clothes, or anything else to help capture a perfect photo. On the wedding day, I had nothing to worry about because I trusted Steven completely. Overall, it was a great experience working with Steven. Both my wife and I are very happy that we chose him. I will easily recommend Steven to my friends and family.

We’re Diana and Isiah, the photographer and officiant duo behind Love and Latitudes Outdoor Wedding and Elopement Photography. We adore traveling and would love nothing more than to give you the perfect adventure elopement. As full-time vanlifers, we are always looking for the next experience—no drive is too long or winding to stop us from our next adventure!

That’s it! If you were teetering on the edge of hiring Diana and Isiah, go ahead and take the jump— you will not be disappointed. They make every step of the process simple and even go out of their way if you have questions about permits and park rules. When my husband and I decided to elope in Death Valley NP, we found the Love and Latitudes blog and quickly knew that they were going to be a perfect fit. Isiah was a wonderful officiant, working with us to get a script that we loved and answering questions about getting the license. Diana was a clear communicator through every step, and the photos speak for themselves. We will definitely work (and hang out) with them again if we get a chance!

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

We hired Cassy for our wedding photos and was happily satisfied. She was easy going,fun and captured some our most memorable wedding moments.

  • Serves El Toro, CA

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

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.

Our favorite way to tell love stories is to really get to personally know you, your future spouse, and the relationship grounded in love that has led to something truly amazing...marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
I spent a long time researching wedding photographers when I started wedding planning because I knew great photos would be very important to me. Glass Woods photos really stood out to me, and they were the first wedding vendor I booked. I am SO glad I did. Covid hit and we ended up postponing our wedding several times. Jake and Tasha were extremely flexible and accommodating throughout the process, and ended up traveling an hour to shoot my backyard wedding, which was not what they had originally agreed to. Unlike other vendors I dealt with, they never gave me a hard time or caused me any stress. On the day of the wedding, Jake was AMAZING. He was so chill and fun, and made us feel extremely comfortable on camera. He shot the wedding by himself, but didn’t miss any important moment. We just got our photos back and couldn’t be happier. They are all stunning. He did an amazing job of capturing all of the emotions in perfectly framed shots. I believe Tasha does the editing and it was also phenomenal. The colors are spectacular. I’ve already printed and framed some and they bring me so much joy to look at. So very grateful to Jake and Tasha and will definitely use them for photos in the future.

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.

Hi there! I'm Zack, a wedding photographer from Orange County, Ca. Ever since I was a young kid studying (and sketching!) bugs in the backyard, I've had a fierce love for the details in the little moments of this crazy life. I got my first "real" camera when I was 12 and was instantly hooked. As I grew, so did my passion and ability to translate those moments into memories. I had the chance to help photograph a wedding when I was 17 and wow! What an experience! That night, I looked through the photos and fell in love. I knew that capturing the moments that would mean something to someone for the rest of their life was where I belonged.

The end result is a beautiful set of high quality photos that truly capture the joy and love from our special day. We got so many comments from friends and family about how well Zack captured not just the formal moments, but also the candid laughter and connections. The photos are such a valuable keepsake, bringing back all the emotions and memories every time we look through them.

I started my business during the pandemic because I wanted to do something I love. What better way to spend those extra pandemy bucks than on a ridiculous amount of cool camera gear. Who’s with me?! I’m also a cat dad, longboard surfer, hiker and big science fiction nerd.

We love working with Daniel (the "D" in Wesley D Photography) so much that he the only photographer on our preferred vendor list. He is reliable, cheerful, and does a WONDERFUL job of capturing special moments. He has photographed numerous weddings and other special occasions for us and our clients, and most-recently photographed a ticketed Father's Day BBQ at our venue. His past work for us has always been amazing, but the Father's Day pictures are truly special. We emailed them to all of our event attendees as a special thank you gift - needless to say, receiving his pictures was the cherry on top of the ice cream sundaes we served that day.

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

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!

MKT Media was very professional and nearly invisible (in a good way!) during our ceremony and reception. Our wedding video is absolutely stunning! The drone shots were amazing! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Cannot recommend Marcus and Ash enough!!

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

Words truly cannot capture how much we love Madeleine. From our very first interaction, it was clear we had found someone special to document our day. Madeleine's talent and passion shone through every moment we spent with her, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She expertly corralled our enormous family, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time, all while keeping us on schedule. In the midst of the whirlwind, she made us feel so beautiful and comfortable, even as we were being pulled in various directions. Her ability to blend professionalism with a warm, friendly demeanor kept us laughing throughout the day, easing any feelings of being overwhelmed. The photos she captured are pure magic. Each image tells a story, beautifully preserving the joy and love of our wedding day. Madeleine’s photos exude the exact emotions we felt throughout our day and I know we will cherish them forever. One of the hardest parts of the wedding being over is the realization that we won’t get to see Madeleine again. It feels like we gained a true friend throughout this process, and we now know exactly who to call to capture all of life's big events in the future. Thank you, Madeleine, for your incredible work and for making our day unforgettable! We love you so much!

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

As a wedding photographer myself, I have high and clear expectations when it comes to photography. Nadia & Gunnar are my go-to photography team when I need to hire a second photographer. I have the unique experience and privilege of hiring them again and again. I never have to worry about a thing when they are on my team. Both individuals are reliable, consistent, and creative. They always show up early. They are constantly pushing their craft and trying to learn new things. They are extremely detail oriented so couples never have to worry about looking their best. Quiet in nature, Nadia & Gunnar are a calming support system on what is otherwise a chaotic day. I trust them completely with my couples and with my couples' loved ones.

Hi! I'm Ria, but my friends call me Ri. I'm a Southern California based photographer traveling worldwide for weddings, elopements & love. There's nothing that makes me happier than making other people feel fucking GREAT about themselves. I care about eternalizing your story, no matter your race, gender, sexuality or body type — i’m here for you.

My husband and I hired Ria to capture our engagement and wedding photos and she absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way possible! We both are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but she made us feel so comfortable and confident in what we were doing. Not only is Ria the BIGGEST hype girl, but she is also kind, professional, and extremely talented. We just received a few sneak peeks after our wedding this past weekend and were amazed at how perfectly she was able to capture every tiny detail and special moment. My husband and I will cherish the photos that she took for years to come. Hire this girl, you won't regret it!!

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.

"Who's that girl, it's Jess!" Hey guys, I'm Jess! I love all things New Girl, The Legend of Zelda, and Broadway Musicals! I like to describe myself as Jessica Day, minus the really talented singing voice, but just overall kind of quirky and nerdy. I love capturing love stories, and fan girling hard core over all things wedding! If you need someone who is going to help you walk through your planning process, I'm your girl! You can also catch me binge eating tacos and ice cream while editing until 3am!

My wife and I live in Chicago, but did engagement photos with Jessica in Orange County and loved the experience so much that we flew her out for our wedding! Jessica was so much fun and made us feel SO comfortable! She made sure I wasn’t stressed about our timeline as we planned and on the day of the wedding. We loved getting our same night previews and were able to use them to create custom thank you cards early to get ahead on sending out thank yous to our guests. All of our friends can’t stop complimenting our photos and we can’t wait to work with Jessica again in the future!

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

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. They took the time to get to know us, understand our hopes for the day, and answer every question, no matter how small. On the wedding day itself, they were on their time sharp. They were like ninjas. They were everywhere and nowhere at the same time, capturing every laugh, tear, and dance move without ever being intrusive. They blended seamlessly into the background, yet somehow managed to be in the perfect position for every precious shot. But it wasn't just their technical skill that blew us away. It was their genuine care and attention to detail. They anticipated our needs before we even knew them. They weren't just vendors; they felt like friends, there to support us and celebrate with us every step of the way. And the results? They were nothing short of breathtaking. The photos are exquisite - vibrant and artistic, capturing every emotion and detail with stunning clarity. They tell the story of our day in a way that words never could, making us relive the magic every time we look at them. The video? It's a masterpiece. It's not just a compilation of clips; it's a cinematic experience, weaving together laughter, tears, and heartwarming moments into a cohesive narrative that pulls at your heartstrings. We've already watched it countless times, and each time, it feels like we're back there, living the dream all over again. Asti and Amir, you didn't just capture our wedding; you captured our souls. You gave us a gift that we will cherish forever, a tangible reminder of the love, laughter, and pure magic of our most special day.

Meet with your Photographer. "The most important thing for me is to create a feeling with my bride and groom, in order to have the best approach on the D-day, and to respect a professionalism, a dress-code, or a planning while keeping the pleasure of capturing these unique moments for my clients."

I'm so excited to share my experience with photographer Oleg, and don't know where to start. My fiancé and I spent so much time on the research in order to find the best team, and best quality product, and Zaya was absolutely the right decision, besides they have exceed all the expectations we had. They managed to take all the beautiful moments (even those that I forgot) and the pictures editing was sooo perfect. Since we didn't have enough time on preparation (month only), we couldn't meet with them in advance to discuss what exactly we were looking for, but let me tell you, the real professionals do not need any guidance. The whole team are such perfectionists, and all the services they provide are for 100%. I highly recommend Oleg’s Zaya to anyone who is looking for their moments to be captured by real professionals.
