My gift is my vulnerability, passion, and dedication. I believe every image has the power to evoke emotions that can't be expressed in words. I'm dedicated to creating imagery that speaks to your heart and soul, capturing the essence of a moment and evoking powerful emotions that will last a lifetime. I want to be your newest best friend behind the camera, capturing your honest love, the miracle of life, and your passion for life. Your truth is my mission.

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.

Maurissa is such an amazing human being! We could not have asked for anyone better to be our wedding photographer! We knew we loved her the minute we met her for our engagement session last winter. She is very outgoing, friendly and honest! She has been very responsive in communication from the beginning. Maurissa goes above and beyond just being a photographer. She made sure everything was lined up, provided a timeline for all the vendors, made sure to get every "must have" photo. Maurissa also helped make sure we enjoyed OUR day. I was very worried about the timeline and being behind on everything but she made sure to remind me that there is no timeline and this was our special day so anything we wanted she would make happen and the guests would be okay entertaining themselves until we were ready! We also got our sneak peaks back already and are so obsessed and cannot wait to see the rest. Maurissa will definitely be showing up in our future because we love her!!

Ann was an amazing wedding photographer to work with from the beginning, even in areas that were outside of the photography side! Our 18 month old was integrated into the plan and photos so well! We started working together early and she had a questionnaire that covered everything we could think of. Her style is what drew us in and she did not cease to amaze in the moments that were captured. We are truly grateful to have our day captured and preserved like it was 3

My name is Thomas Seabury I am a wedding photographer of 9 years, over the past 3 years shooting just over 100 weddings per year. Each wedding I take on the roll of coordinator, photographer, and personal assistant keeping the entire day running smoothly and keeping the stress of the day as far from the bride and groom as possible. I would love to be a huge part of your entire process from overall planning to execution of the day! In the off chance you're booking at a Northern CA Wedgewood venue, I have hundreds of hours of experience at each of their venues and work very closely with the everyone of the staff at Wedgewood.

My wedding was in May and the weather surprised us by dumping buckets of rain during the ceremony. Thomas was so helpful with all of his direction and suggestions for the ceremony. He was able to keep his cool and roll with the punches on our very crazy day. Our Photos are absolutely stunning! I honestly can't say enough good things about him. He took so many photos and his editing is wonderful. He also did our engagement photos all the way in Yosemite. He not only drove 3 hours one way for the engagement shoot but also drove an obscene amount of hours for our wedding. He put in so much work and I can't thank him enough.

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

I cannot say enough good things about Emma - she is always flexible, knowledgeable, and shows up with the best energy to every event! When I wasn’t sure where I wanted to take bridals, she was happy to make suggestions based on the vibe I was going for - and I very much appreciated one less thing on my plate! She delivers high quality, beautiful photos every single time and is the artist behind so many of my most cherished memories! I would absolutely recommend Coté and Camera - you won’t regret it!

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
Roberta is nothing short of AMAZING. The quality of her work speaks for itself, but working with her is just as impressive! She's extremely personable, so easy to work with, and makes you feel right at home in front of the camera. She really takes the time to get to know her clients to provide the shots they desire most. Not to mention she can roll with the punches! Between the location for our engagement shoot being under maintenance, to my husband never being available for meetings, to an overly windy wedding day - none of it phased her and she was more than accommodating. We received all of our photos in what felt like no time at all and the website she uses for her album design and printing is extremely user friendly! We couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture our big day and plan to continue to use her for all our future photo needs :)

We wanted a beach shoot, and she went above and beyond to research what beaches were the most scenic and got there early to scout the best sites for us. I’m not always comfortable in front of a camera, but Alicia made the shoot fun and I immediately felt at ease with her. Our hour with her flew by, and the photos are stunning. Her prices are super reasonable and I’d highly recommend her for anyone in search of a great photographer.

Andy is the absolute dream to work with! We were lucky enough to meet Andy through a wedding expo event at Hunter Ranch where we won an engagement photoshoot with him through one of the event raffles. Upon formally meeting him at the engagement shoot, we instantly felt how down to earth and easy Andy was to chat and work with. He made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease during the whole shoot and then went the extra mile and got us our photos within 48 hrs. We instantly hired him for our wedding and it was truly the best decision we could have made. The time leading up to the wedding, Andy was a clear communicator always offering ideas or working with us directly to learn exactly what style, ideas, anything specific we wanted capture for our big day and when it came to the big day, he absolutely crushed the vision and went above and beyond to capture our love and connection in photo form. He was open to any and every idea and loves to think outside of the box when it comes to fun photo visions. He provided us with the most beautiful photos we could have ever wanted. He was a vital person to help us lock down our wedding timeline and ensure we took photos when we wanted and he was super great at also allowing us time to fully soak in our wedding and not be pulled away for too long each time. Andy is truly an incredible photographer and person. We could not recommend him as a photographer for any special event, and especially for weddings.

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

Awarded Best of Zola
ABBY IS INCREDIBLE. I booked Abby after another photographer I had booked was no longer able to do the job. I was in such a funk and I was terrified to find someone new. Abby had such a great vibe from the start and her skills are clearly magic. She made us feel comfortable right from the start. We had a blast together at our engagement shoot and I felt so safe for my wedding that I didn’t even feel the need to give her specific “shots” just the overall vibes! She read me and my vibe and knocked it out of the park. She was not just my photographer on my wedding day, she was a friend! I’m so lucky to call her a friend now, even after our wedding! Booking Abby will be one thing you absolutely do not regret! DO IT!

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions. I prioritize unscripted moments, such as the reaction of your spouse as you walk up the aisle, the inside joke that makes you break out in laughter or the tears as your loved ones share thoughtful memories during toasts. These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

First let me say, I cannot believe that Maya only has a handful of reviews on here because they are AMAZING! They were by far my favorite vendor for our September wedding and well worth the investment. From day 1, Maya was fantastic! They truly became our friend and not just our photographer for our wedding. From the little things that Maya remembered, to the sweet emails and messages we received for over a year while planning. They helped with our timeline, they helped keep the day flowing and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We unfortunately were not able to do a engagement session with Maya, but somehow Maya made us feel like we've known them for years. If you want the personal touch, Maya is the perfect photographer for you! Maya is so professional, inclusive to all and by far our best wedding decision (besides marrying each other). We received so many compliments from family and friends about how impressed they were with Maya! Maya truly has found her calling and has the perfect eye for photography. The photos we have are so vibrant and perfect in every way! We cannot wait to relive the most magical day with all of the photos from Maya and her partner Michael. Hire them! You will not regret it!!

I'm not normally one to write reviews, but I was and am so absolutely over the moon about my experience working with Diana that I’m making an exception. First, let me put it out there that I’m not a planner and the wedding scene is pretty new to me. Planning my wedding and then being at the center of it took me so far outside my comfort zone that I truly don’t know if it would have felt as smooth, easy and ecstatic without the support and calming powers of vendors like Diana. She was so organized and thorough leading up to the day, offering myself and my partner multiple phone calls to better align on the order of events, personalities involved, and who we are as people. She worked with us to create a comprehensive shot list and then managed to take candids that absolutely filled in all the joyous gaps in between. The results are images that absolutely take my breath away. They are stunning and you can feel the love that was radiating all around. Diana has such a great eye and her editing is spot on. I couldn’t recommend her more!

I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy? I believe in capturing the big moments, but the small moments too. I believe in being true to yourself and true to each other. I believe in capturing true emotions, both good and bad. I believe that photographs are keys that can unlock the past after years have gone by, and that looking at the past is how we move towards the future.

If you’re looking for someone to capture your wedding day Meghan is the BEST. She got some very very special moments and helped keep everything on schedule. She was a big part of our day and it wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

My husband and I flew Golden Hour Images to Utah for our wedding and it was worth every single penny!! Golden Hour Images was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, their communication was super consistent and they listened to everything we wanted. The photographer, Jenna, did an amazing job and just her sneak peaks had my husband, me and my family absolutely balling. She did the best job at capturing all our sensitive moments and made us feel and look absolutely beautiful throughout the day. Jenna listened to exactly what we wanted and exceeded all of our expectations - our wedding photos are stunning and we will cherish them forever. We cannot recommend Golden Hour Images enough!

Hi! ​My name is Bouquet and I am a published photographer. I was born and raised in Thailand, lived in NJ, HI, and now FL! My portfolio showcases some of my favorite images from the past few years with various lighting and locations, so you know I can handle every situations you may have on your wedding day! I strive to create photographs that not only capture a moment but also capture a feeling and essence.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a non-traditional wedding and were on a tight budget, but Bouquet was able to accommodate us and provide us with a wonderful experience. We were only doing church photos, a few couples' shots, and minimal coverage of our reception. Bouquet sent a thorough questionnaire beforehand to inform her of the run of show for the day and our expectations. She arrived on time, introduced herself and got to work! Bouquet was a joy to work with. She was game for all of our ideas and made sure we got all the requested shots and then some. We wanted to do some more candid photos with grittier NYC shots as the background. Bouquet was totally game and really followed our lead while giving some helpful suggestions for specific poses. She had the best attitude, wasn't pushy at all, and treated everyone so kindly. We loved working with her and highly recommend her for your wedding.

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim-Trang Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the start, Kim’s communication style was ahead of the game - she was warm, friendly, and we were excited to have her on our team. Kim is talented and committed and truly captured the joy and intimacy of our special day. She connected with us and our family in a way that felt more like having a friend there than just a vendor. One of our favorite touches was the sweet Polaroids she left with our wedding cards - the perfect surprise when we were feeling a bit of the post-wedding blues. We couldn't be happier with the sneak peeks we've seen so far and can't wait to see the full gallery. Kim-Trang Photography went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

From the initial appointment, Lindsay was so warm and friendly - she made the entire process so unbelievably smooth. I never once had to worry or ask for communication - because she was always on top of everything before I had to ask. She was a great resource for us. When it came to the engagement session, ceremony, and reception, Lindsay made us feel so comfortable (we are notoriously awkward in front of a camera & she really made us feel 100% comfortable, which made every event more fun because she could capture our most authentic selves. Any random idea I saw I would ask her about and she was so receptive to it all & catered the entire experience to us (she also gave incredible ideas that fit with our personal style which were some of my favorite shots). Overall - we LOVED working with her & I would not have changed a single thing about her or the process, she did a fabulous job capturing our special days & she acclimated exceptionally to the different styles of each event.

Jessica was absolutely amazing and we are incredibly pleased with our decision to use her as our engagement and wedding photographer! She was a great communicator who went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly. Jessica being so organized and on top of things made our wedding experience much less stressful than it otherwise would have been. Neither my husband or I are super comfortable in front of a camera, but Jessica’s directions and attitude put us at ease and made for a very enjoyable experience. Our wedding day went just according to plan, and so so much of that credit goes to Jessica! Taking everything we had spoken about into consideration, she put a wedding day timeline together for us; that was a huge stress relief! Jessica was amazing leading up to the wedding and I couldn’t of been any more pleased. I had so much confidence in Jessica leading up to the wedding day, and she did not disappoint! She was organized, had a plan, and followed it just as we had discussed. When hiccups arose, she was a calming presence who quickly adapted and made the absolute best out of the situation. Now, on to the photos! Jessica is a remarkably talented photographer who captured our wedding day better than we could have imagined. The photos all turned out so good and she was able to capture so many moments that we, as the bride and groom, were not able to witness in the moment. Our couples portraits, wedding party photos, and family photos were stunning. We are also so incredibly grateful for Jessica taking the time to photograph our guests during the reception. She was able to capture every moment with such authenticity; we love to look back at the photos and relive the day. I would whole-heartedly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!!

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

I've never been so excited to review somebody in my entire life!!! We were so lucky to have Irina as our photographer. I cannot say enough how important it is that your photographer on your wedding day is just as wonderful as a person as she is a professional at what she does. A good photographer makes you feel comfortable and effortless behind the camera. Posing parents, siblings, wedding parties, flower girls, ring bearers, and the bride and groom coming together perfectly in a crazy short amount of time? You feel like it’s IMPOSSIBLE. It’s not! I’ve heard that weddings are always not on time. The truth is it’s more worth. The rings may be forgotten, the very important guest is being extremely late, and a lot of other reasons. Irina was super patient, she captured each and every photo I wanted without me even having to make sure that she did it. Her creativity, eye for perfection, and professionalism are unbelievable. The wedding day does by so fast, and it's important to have all the moments captured. My now husband and I could not have chosen a better photographer. Everyone at the wedding was talking about how great our photographer was. Irina introduced herself to every guest and family member at the wedding and made sure she got every guests’ picture which we are so grateful! We had so many out of state guests and wanted to remember every moment with them on our best day. If you are looking for pricing that makes sense, photographer who cares about the quality, your happiness on your wedding day, and feeling confident throughout that entire day and every time you look at pictures afterwards, then look no further!

Even with the delay, she was able to finish the family pictures, our couples pics, and the wedding party AND still managed to get us to the reception ON TIME!
