  • Serves Hercules, CA

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA. With over a decade of experience and features in Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Katherine. Taking photos can be intimidating and overwhelming, but Katherine made our engagement photoshoot so much fun. She truly made it a day in our wedding journey that we will look back and cherish forever. Katherine has a gift for making people feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Not only does she make you FEEL great while you are taking photos, but her photography skills are truly unmatched. Our photos came out better than I could have imagined and we have received so many compliments from friends and family. Photography talent aside, Katherine is very professional, thorough with all of her communications, and so passionate with shines through her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

My wife, Meredith, and I had the immense pleasure of working with EJ & Sarah Stavick for our wedding this year, and we cannot recommend Stavick Studios enough! From the very first interaction, EJ & Sarah's communication was exceptional. They made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, ensuring that every detail was covered and that our vision was understood. Their organizational skills were impeccable, leaving us stress-free and able to enjoy our big day. On the wedding day, their team was phenomenal. They were everywhere, capturing every special moment, yet they were so discreet that we barely noticed their presence. Their creativity and attention to detail were evident in every shot. The candid moments especially, were some of our favorites. When we received the teaser film and the photos, Meredith and I were left speechless. The quality and artistry of their work are beyond words. Every shot, every frame was beautifully, bringing out the emotions and joy of the day in a way that we will cherish forever. Their passion and dedication were clear in every aspect, from the carefully planned photo setups to the spontaneous video moments they were able to capture.

My name is Connie and I have been shooting weddings and portraits for over 15years. The goal for me is to give my client an heirloom of their wedding day to pass down to generations to come. As a young kid, I remember staring at my parents black and white wedding photos for a long time. It captivated me. I am very lucky to have those memories and that is what I want for my clients. I love capturing beautiful imagery through posing, beautiful light and when there isn't light, I like to create it. I can be a goof ball capturing the unexpected filled laughter. Come look at my work, and hopefully we can connect.

Connie was so awesome to work with! Leading up to the wedding she was easy to communicate with and always responded to my emails quickly. When my wedding day rolled around she was at the venue on time and got to work. She was patient with everything going on, she had an assistant as well that was great! I told Connie that I was worried about taking pictures because I never considered myself photogenic, she told me not to worry. She did a great job! The pictures turned out beautiful! I love them! Now the hard part is choosing which ones to print.

Hello! Whether you're seeking a content creator to capture the behind the scene moments on your big day or a photographer for your couples shoot, I am your person! I aim to capture all the details that are typically missed.

I recently worked with Kathy for an engagement photoshoot at SF City Hall. She was incredibly flexible when we arrived late, which we really appreciated. She took the time to capture a wide variety of shots around the area, and her friendly demeanor made the experience enjoyable. She also provided helpful directions during the shoot, making it a fun outing overall. Thank you for your hard work! (Added my favorite photo. I like the motion of it which is quite apt given we were dancing, and the lighting is romantically moody.)

Welcome. "I BELIEVE...connection matters. Photos tell our story and carry our legacy. Melanin matters on camera. Every human deserves to be seen. 8 out of 10 humans say they feel awkward in front of the camera; Laughter is the antidote." ​ It is my loud passion to capture the personality of relationship...within couples, families, communities, and even organizations. And I have been this way since I was a kid. With my hot pink camera in tow, 8-year old me would capture the loud joy of my BIG extended family. Little did I know...they were my training ground in photography. And I am happy to say that my approach to photography hasn't changed.

Working with Brandi and her team has been an absolute pleasure! We've collaborated on five events together, and each time has been an effortless and seamless experience. When I popped the question about her availability for my own wedding, her enthusiastic response sealed the deal. From the moment my wife met Brandi over Zoom, she knew we had found our perfect match. Her warmth and professionalism shone through, and it was evident that she was not just a talented photographer but also someone with whom we could easily connect. Our wedding day was captured beautifully, with every moment immortalized in stunning photographs that we will cherish forever. Such was the impact of Brandi's work that we didn't hesitate to book her again for my wife's birthday celebration in November 2023. Once more, she delivered beyond our expectations, capturing the essence of the occasion flawlessly. If you're in search of a photographer who not only has an eye for detail but also possesses a wonderful personality, look no further than Brandi. She's attentive, creative, and a joy to work with. Trust me, hiring Brandi will be one of the best decisions you make for your special day!

Offbeat Photography with a Narrative Twist. I've been having fun photographing weddings for over 18 years. I find the excitement, nervousness, love, and joy inspiring to create great photographs that tell a story. I have been in love with photography since I've been a kid. Since then I have photographed actors, film directors, authors, and some very unique characters that have informed my perspective on life.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Pat to do photographs for our wedding in 2016 - which was an informal event in our back garden in San Francisco with our family and friends on a glorious July day. Pat was lovely to work with. We only needed to chat a few times beforehand. And then on the day, she was a discreet, low-key presence - but somehow managed to capture us, our family, and friends in a joyous celebration.

With a candid style and two decades of professional photography experience, my passion is capturing real moments and creating photos that tell your story. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I am proud to work in the diverse communities here, and welcome the diversity of my clients who are looking to both honor past family traditions as well as create some of their own. My approach to wedding photography is simple; the day of the wedding is about two people coming together to celebrate their marriage with their loved ones, and photos are about connection and trust. My goal is to have your photographs remind you of how you felt that day.

Sonya was amazing, she photographed our engagement and our Indian wedding ceremony. Even without being totally familiar with the parts of the ceremony, she captured all the pivotal moments beautifully. she is very intuitive and made us feel very comfortable. We loved the slide show she put together with the photos from our day, and sent it to our families who watch it on repeat. We can't recommend her enough, she is not only artistic, but a really nice person which made it so much easier. She was also able to keep our rowdy families in-line for the group photos.

  • Serves Hercules, CA

I am an Oklahoma born, but Cali raised - dancer, roller skater, photography stylist, photographer, momma to two little girls, foodie, crafter, lover of laughter, action and pyscho-thriller movie watcher, and sports player. I also find peace in the outdoors and California trees. I like to keep it active and adventurous. I believe in giving 110% at everything I do, but also want it to be fun. I chose photography to be my vocation because I have a true obsession with humans and the way we love, interact, and celebrate rituals personal to our families and cultures. I stand up for equality and justice for BIPOC and LGBTTQQIAAP.

Joy was so amazing from start to finish! We booked Joy and her team for our Engagement session and Wedding Day. She helped brainstorm ideas for the engagement shoot and made all our visions a reality with bomb photos of us featuring my husbands old school. As all brides know, the planning experience can be stressful and full of anxiety dealing with multiple vendors - but I never had that experience working with Joy. I 100% trusted her to capture our big day. I’ve heard stories from other brides about “I wish our photographer did this, was able to take photos of that..” but not with Joy! She communicated great leading up to and on the big day. Everywhere I looked Joy and her team was on the move capturing the best shots in the right spots. Our photos turned out amazing and we were so happy to have Joy there with us on such a memorable day. I highly recommend and trust Joy for any photo sessions, whether it’s family holiday shoots, grad photos, engagement sessions and wedding day! She is an absolute gem, so talented and pleasure to work with!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

As a photographer, my goal is to capture stories in the form of images. Photos have the power to help you relive a specific moment in time and recall all of the emotions and details surrounding that moment. When I work with you on a photo project, my goal is to provide you with photographic records of those moments. I want you to be able to look back at your photos years from today and be able to relive that moment in time.

Say Cheese Photography is the best company I have ever worked with. She was incredibly organized, detail oriented, and friendly this was so helpful throughout our planning process - she was communicative and quick to respond to any & every question I had with tons of helpful information. I had no doubt that not only would she take amazing photos but I wouldn't have to worry about any detail not being captured or something feeling unorganized. She totally delivered. We're obsessed with the photos from our wedding weekend everything was captured perfectly & the photos really feel organic and like "us". Not to mention there are so many photos, we keep looking back and finding new favorites or little memories captured that we forgot happened! Neither me or my husband love having our photos taken and She made the entire process fun, easy, and very efficient (which was especially key given how hot it was on our wedding day). Our family and friends continue to rave about our wedding and how amazing it was. She is so talented and professional but also personable. It was so fun working with her I will recommend her to any couple looking for a wedding photographer!!

We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures!

Since 2017, Ashley Guice has been creating stunning images that blend artistic flair with genuine emotion. With over seven years of experience in photography and a decade-long background in the arts, she brings a unique perspective to every event she covers.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Ashley! From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought our vision to life, capturing every moment beautifully. We had an unfortunate cancellation of our original venue, and with our new venue having a completely different look, Ashley was a great thought partner in scouting locations and helping us achieve the look and feel in our photos that we were going for. Despite the challenges of a venue change and the usual wedding planning craziness, Ashley remained positive, resourceful, and was also just down right fun to work with! Ashley is a true artist, dedicated to the artful execution of every detail. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or ordinary—she took the time to understand our vision and how we wanted to remember the day and then actualized it through her artistic lens. I wanted something artful, chic, and elevated but also real, candid, and documentary-style—and Ashley delivered exactly that. She was also fantastic at understanding how we wanted to be photographed throughout the day. More than anything, she made sure our enjoyment of the day was a priority over just "getting the perfect shot," which was crucial for us. We were able to enjoy every moment, and the photos capture that perfectly. Her team was amazing, too! We got to work with two of her assistant photographers, and they were just as supportive and friendly as Ashley. We would recommend AGC to any couple looking for a photography team who is dedicated to capturing the essence of your wedding in a way that feels unique, personal, and meaningful. - L & L

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.

  • Serves Hercules, CA

Hello My name is Andris Dzeguze I am a creative eye behind Dzen Documentary. I discovered my passion for photography in my grandfather's darkroom, and it has been an integral part of my identity. The ability to freeze moments in time and craft visual stories with light has captivated me for a long time. In my portfolio, you'll uncover what sets me apart: Showcased in publications such as Vanity Fair and Wall Street Journal Magazine. Featured photographer at NYC Fashion Week. Serving as a brand ambassador for a renowned camera brand. Engaged in impactful documentary art projects. Capturing the essence of weddings across the United States.

As a seasoned wedding photographer myself, I have had the privilege of working alongside Andris for the past three years. It has not just been a professional collaboration, he is a master in storytelling, artistry, and connecting with everyone he touches. Andris always arrives early for our weddings/events, meticulously setting up and ensuring that all details are perfect before the first click of the shutter. He has a very calm demeanor and is always a beacon of stability, even in the most unpredictable situations. Working with him has always been a joy. But Andris's talent goes far beyond punctuality and professionalism. He has an uncanny ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, transforming any moments into memorable snapshots of the client's special day. His artistic vision is unique, and he uses light (both natural and artificial), composition, and emotion to weave narratives that resonate deeply with our clients. Besides the technical know-how Andris possesses, he has a gift for connecting with people, which is a critical trait to have as a wedding photographer. His infectious smile and genuine warmth melt away any inhibitions, bringing out the smiles and genuine emotions that make videos and photographs truly come alive. He has a way of making everyone feel at ease, even the most camera-shy individuals. In short, working with Andris isn't just about capturing images, it is about capturing the essence of a moment, a feeling, a connection. His videos and photographs are not just visual records, they are portals to emotions, transporting you back to the laughter, the tears, the joy that made the day so special. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Andris to anyone seeking not just a skilled videographer or photographer, but an artist, a collaborator, and a friend. If you're looking for stunning visuals, infectious laughter, and a stress-free experience that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime, look no further.

Photography is deeply embedded in my past. Over 30 years ago, my family and I came to the United States from the former Soviet Union, where my grandfather had been a professional portrait photographer for over 50 years. I bring positive energy, and connect with and delight your guests and vendors. I have photographed in destinations as distant as India, Paris, London, Aspen, Mexico, New York, Los Angeles, North Carolina, even a wedding on a cruise ship! But, San Francisco is the city I know like the back of my hand – a city that I believe is the best photo studio in the world. I am an expert San Francisco City Hall wedding photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sasha is wonderful to work with and a creative genius when it came to capturing our special day. He knew how to work all the right angles and find the perfect lighting. The weather rapidly changed the day we were shooting so we had to suddenly switch locations. Sasha was extremely patient and quick to find a new location in San Francisco. He was able to beautifully capture our love for one another in the city where we were first met. Our photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Trusting him throughout the process and letting him work his magic with his creative energy was fun and we were blown away by the results. Highly recommend Sasha and look forward to working with him again!

We had 200 guests, and her and her lovely team captured many more precious moments throughout the day. We LOVED the way the photos turned out, too! We got a sneak peak within a week of the wedding, and then the rest of the 1200 photos 6 weeks later. I can’t recommend Tiana enough - she’s the best!

Hello! My name is Christian. I'm an artist. Whether camera shy or not, my couples and their friends or family have a great time with me and I make the experience pretty easy and enjoyable since I'm an awesome director. It has taken me a lot of studying, practice and natural talent to get to where I am today. I've documented over 600 weddings leaving many happy clients in many different areas of the world.

I’m usually pretty awkward in front of the camera and have no idea how to pose, but Christian made the whole experience so fun and easy. The session was quick, and the photos turned out even better than I imagined. Our guests also loved him, and the wedding planner told me he was the best photographer she’s worked with in 20 years—such an amazing compliment!

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3
