I’m a small town girl living in the big city of San Diego. You know the saying, “Home is where the heart is?” For me it has two meanings. If home is a physical place, mine is the magical little town where I was born – Ojai, California. It is a place where people can breathe deep and feel the wholeness of their lives. It's a magical little valley of peace happiness. If home is truly where the heart is, then mine is my family. In 2016, I married my best friend and the father of our beautiful son and daughter. We are a squad of awesomeness and those three hold my heart in the palm of their hands.

If you want a photographer that is go with the flow ready for anything MORGAN is your girl! She is very responsive throughout the entire process before the event. She is kind and is always smiling which makes clients smile too! She is a hard worker (she shot a 16 hour day and took over eight thousand photos!!). She is full of energy and always has her camera ready to go at any moment! She is truly such a sweet and kind person! Her photos truly speak for themselves they are beautiful and will last a lifetime! Hire Morgan and you won't regret it!! :)

Lauren Gdowski (she/her/hers) is a bright and true-to-life wedding photographer for the couples who want a worry-free day! After months of rigorous planning, you'll finally be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy your wedding day. The culmination of your hard work doesn't last long, so taking in those fleeting moments should be your top priority. That's where I come in... I'll guide you through a stress-free day, capturing fleeting moments so you get to relive them time and time again.

Lauren was absolutely amazing, she made my wedding so easy to do and so beautiful when they were done. I had my original photographer stop communicating with me, so I found Lauren late into my wedding planning and I was already very stressed out. But she eased my nerves and made it such an easy process to figure out what photos I wanted done. She was always quick to respond when I had a question about the photos, and she was so helpful with her knowledge of weddings in general. I have attached some of my photos to this review because I honestly can not praise her enough. She does incredible work and is a wonderful person!

My photography business is built on the foundation of capturing life’s most meaningful moments with authenticity and creativity. Specializing in weddings, events, & portraits, I provide a personalized approach to each client, ensuring their vision is at the heart of every session. I pride myself on delivering high-quality images that not only document the occasion but also evoke the emotions and memories tied to it. With a focus on professionalism, attention to detail, & creating a comfortable environment, my goal is to make every shoot a seamless & enjoyable experience, resulting in timeless photos that clients can cherish for years to come

Our planners recommended our GeeQ Photos, and I’m so glad they did. From our first initial meeting with George, everything was so well organized and seamless. He communicated the expected timeline and requirements so clearly, and he definitely delivered. During our wedding weekend, he had a clear vision of how our photos should turn out, and he made sure to capture the perfect shots. George is very detail-oriented and ensured that every moment was beautifully captured. He and his team got along with my family and friends wonderfully, and everyone was impressed with his professionalism. After our wedding, he communicated the timeline for delivering the final photos and met the deadline as promised. The photos came out absolutely stunning and everyone is so impressed with his work. We would highly recommend George and GeeQ Photos team again and again. They were amazing, and I pray God continues to elevate his business to greater heights.

Kristina Lee Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Idyllwild, CA

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, I get the opportunity to work with many photographers. BY FAR, Kristina Lee Photography is my all-time favorite! Not only does she have an artistic eye for capturing moments, but she also makes the couples feel comfortable and relaxed. Kristina also is a team player with the rest of the vendors. Her turn around time for images is like no other. The generosity of what she pours into her craft and service is admirable! Kristina is both professional and playful which clients love and trust! I have no hesitation in recommending Kristina Lee Photography. As a matter of fact, I highly encourage it! You'll have the best pictures with the most delightful photographer!

Hugo & Kat Photo & Film

  • Starts at $3,399
  • Serves Idyllwild, CA

We're Hugo & Kat, wedding photographers & filmmakers based in Los Angeles. We're a married duo & we genuinely love that we get to pursue this passion together. Our goal is to create a space where you can be completely yourselves. To capture the real essence that makes you, you. Both individually & as a couple.

Hugo and Kat did photo and video for my wedding during the pandemic and they were nothing short of amazing! They were so easy to talk to and I didn’t feel like they were “in our faces” with the cameras. Yet, they happened to capture the most intimate of moments. I’ll forever cherish the photo they captured of me and my dad! As an event professional myself, I have to admit it’s hard to find vendors that still have that freshness and fun. Hugo even managed to convince some of my guests to come out onto the dance floor after they were sitting ducks. That showed me that he wasn’t just there to take photos/videos and call it a day, they were there to go above and beyond and make sure me and my guests had a night to remember. :)

Sam Turchin was the best photographer I could have possibly chosen to capture my wedding day. She was very flexible and accommodating with coming up with a price package that worked for me.

On the day of, she kept a very professional and positive attitude when things didn’t go exactly as planned, and of course her photographs were STUNNING.

As your photographer, I prioritize truly getting to know you as a couple, offering guidance and support throughout your wedding day. My goal is to capture those intimate, fleeting moments—the ones you might forget in the whirlwind, like your grandmother’s tears as you walk down the aisle or your best friend’s belly laugh after the best man’s speech. Together, we create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that lets your genuine emotions and connections shine through. I don't just freeze moments; I capture the essence of your emotions. With careful attention to detail, I weave these real moments into a visual story that goes beyond the ordinary.

Pawel and I have know each other for more years than either one of us care to admit. We met the old fashion way, in a bar and have been married for 10 amazing years. In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

Jenn and Pawel Photography were the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we booked them, their communication was easy, friendly and professional. They felt like part of the family, working seamlessly with everyone to capture all the special moments. Jenn and Pawel have an amazing artistic eye, turning every setting into a work of art. They brought wonderful ideas, were never bossy, and just got the job done with enthusiasm. We couldn't be happier with the incredible photos that beautifully preserve the joy of our wedding day. Hands down, Jenn and Pawel are the best photographer team around!

To me, photography is not just about taking pictures; it's about creating art and telling your story. I pride myself on building genuine connections with my clients and displaying who you are through my work. I would be honored to be a part of your journey. Let's collaborate and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Ashley did my engagement photos in spring of 2023 & my wedding ceremony at Charleston Falls in Tipp City, OH & my lowkey home reception in Fall of 2023 in Huber Heights, OH. I met her through a family member when I first got engaged in April 2022. The original plan was to have a big traditional wedding. When that was the case, she was giving advice and support whenever I needed a second expert opinion about the inner workings of timelines and such! And then through alllllll of the many mind changes and plan changes I made, she was SO FLEXIBLE AND UNDERSTANDING. Ashley is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, talented, calm/cool/collected, I could go in and on! I will NEVER be going to ANYONE ELSE for photography as long as Ashley is available. She is truly first choice, top rate, AMAZING.

Eli Holmes Photo + Film 

2.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Idyllwild, CA

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.

Hello! I’m Savannah, the photographer behind Savannah Rose Photography. Photography started out as a fun hobby, but when I was 16 I decided to take a film class in high school and that’s when I realized “this is it”. I have been able to be a full time photographer for 8+ years. I love being able to use my passion for art and photography to help you create uniquely beautiful memories that you will enjoy for years to come. I am definitely guilty of being a bit of a perfectionist which ensures that I do everything I can to give you the best photography experience, whether it be portrait session or on your wedding day.

Savannah photographed our proposal as well as our wedding and both sets of photos came out so beautiful! She is the sweetest and so fun to work with! Prior to the wedding she took time to talk to me and make sure we were on the same page for how we wanted the photos to feel and look, what poses or types of shots we might have especially wanted etc. (but was also so good about helping direct us if we got in an awkward posing situation!!) and had beautiful ideas for photos that didn’t just look like every single other wedding picture you’ve seen! She also made sure everything for the day of was coordinated with a photo schedule for our first look and things like the family shots which made everything run smooth and was very stress free for everyone involved. She perfectly timed out when and where we would need to be for the best lighting and even before that (since our photos after the ceremony were off site) made sure that location was just right and would work well. She honestly thought of everything and her preparation was obvious in how perfect the photos turned out! Savannah captured the special parts of that busy day but also little things I was too distracted to really soak in, she’s worth every bit!

She not only captured beautiful photos that I will treasure for a lifetime, but she also acted as a problem solver for anything that came up on the day of our elopement. She made my wife and I feel so comfortable while taking photos it felt like she was part of our family. She really got down and dirty to get some amazing images (she laid on the ground next to a cliff side to get the perfect angle, and she got soaked while she captured us spraying a bottle of champagne in the air to celebrate our elopement).

Where to begin? As a photographer myself, I thought I'd have a really hard time choosing a wedding photographer, but when I saw Nate and Amanda's work, my search was over. If you're having trouble choosing a photographer/videographer, you can stop here. Nate and his second shooter, Ashley were an absolute dream to work with. They made us so comfortable and actually helped in ways I wasn't expecting. They kept us on time so we didn't miss any important moments but still managed to capture everything we wanted with ease. They simultaneously grabbed video while shooting photos without interruption. Nate is creative and will work with you to figure out the best settings and ways to capture who you are as a couple and document the day so you never forget it. Cannot thank The Shalom Imaginative enough for their creative collaboration and attention to detail!

I have traveled and photographed weddings and engagement shoots all over the country including internationally. I still get nervous before every wedding I photograph. If I didn’t have nervous tension, I probably would have lost the drive and passion for what I love doing the most. The reason for my love of wedding photography is simple: I love spending the day with brides and grooms creating wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. I hunt for moments that cannot be recreated or relived. I love capturing the raw emotion of a wedding day. I want to be the best not only for myself but especially for my clients.

Just book Peter! You won’t regret it. Super cool and personable from our visit video call with him. He was very flexible with our engagement shoot and generous with his time. Let me tell you…his vision!? Oh my. We have GORGEOUS photos from our engagement sesh as well as our wedding. I literally could not believe my eyes once I saw the photos!

Bree and Hayes recently shot our engagement party and did an incredible job capturing our moment. They were extremely organized and made us feel at ease with a pre-event meeting where we went over all of the details. Their images were bright, natural, and the perfect mix of candid and posed. I would highly recommend them for any wedding or event that you're having, you will cherish the photos for a lifetime!

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.

I am a full-time wedding photographer based in San Diego and first things first, I want you to know your wedding is a huge deal to me. As your wedding photographer, I'm your ultimate third-well and your right-hand-woman. I’m like your bridesmaid / groomslady with a camera. More than just a hired vendor, I’ll be your cheerleader, encourager, organizer, drink-getter, and the gal screaming “YAYYYY" because I’m so excited about the awesome photos we’re creating together. With the experience, knowledge, and expertise of photographing nearly 300 weddings, I am here with you every step of the way. Can’t wait to be along this journey with you!!!

I can not recommend Kami enough! She made our wedding photography process so effortless. I never had to guess or wonder what the next steps in my planning were, she was ON IT! She worked with me on my timeline to make sure it was the most efficient timeline while considering everything I wanted to include in my day. She had so many great suggestions that really helped me with my timeline. Everything went SO smoothly! On the day of the wedding, she brought so much fun and light energy which calmed our nerves so much! She somehow even made family and wedding party pictures FUN! Everyone LOVED her. She is a true pro, super knowledgeable, and she put so much care and love into our day! The images from our wedding are TO DIE FOR! I seriously can't stop staring at them. Our wedding wouldn't have gone as smoothly, been as fun, or had the images we love every day if Kami hadn't been our photographer. To sum up, Kami is the best, look no further, you've found the best photographer you could ever dream of.

I'm a follower of Jesus, adventure lover, wife to Josiah (my husband of four years, personal chef, and favorite weirdo), and dog mom to Solo (the sweetest chihuahua you'll ever meet). When I'm not working, you'll find me with a friend at a coffee shop or curled up at home with a good book or a show; most likely a rom com. I'm a big fan of morning light, cold brew coffee, and dark chocolate anything. My favorite travel destination is the Oregon coast and my perfect day would consist of the beach, hiking, good food, and close friends.

My husband and I had Annie take our engagement photos and she also photographed our wedding day... To say we were pleased with her work would be an absolute understatement. Not only does the quality of Annie's work speak for itself, but Annie is a JOY to work with! She is kind, thoughtful, caring, professional, VERY well organized, and an excellent communicator. Throughout the wedding planning process, Annie checked in on us to see how we were doing. She was someone I felt like I could go to to ask questions and get feedback about the day's schedule, details about the order of events, etc. She was so much more than just a photographer for us -- her kindness and care for us took away our nerves about the big day and made us so excited! I HIGHLY recommend Crawford Photo Co. Outstanding service, exceptional quality, and genuinely a joy to work with.

Since the minute I found Ally & Andre's website, I knew I wanted them to capture our wedding day. I was instantly drawn to the beautiful contrast in their photos... so of course I had to look up their IG for more info lol that's when I learned a bit about their personalities and it solidified my choice to book them! Heck, we literally changed our wedding date to ensure we could have these two as our photographers! That said... Ally & Andre were absolutely professional, timely, receptive to my requests & photo ideas (we were able to incorporate my husband's harley into our couple's photos!) and they were kind & understanding with any questions we had. Their delivery of our photos was absolutely beautiful... and they have this wonderful touch of capturing special moments w/ their polaroid throughout the day. I could not say enough good things about this couple.. I am SO SO SO happy that we went with Ally & Andre to capture our special day. I highly recommend them to everyone!!
