We are a photography & videography husband & wife team based in San Diego and Seattle. We love to travel around the world taking photos! Our editing style is true to life and our goal is to capture the feeling of the moment in our images. We enjoy spending our time outdoors with great company. We love working with clients who share our love for nature and adventure! We like to draw our inspiration from the beauty of the environment and how these surroundings make you feel in the moment. Our goal is to tell your story through our photographs and we hope that they become a memento of a special chapter in your journey.

Dylan and Pauline of Amare Images were so incredible to work with. We booked an engagement shoot with them and absolutely loved their photos so we HAD to have them shoot our wedding. They are two kind people who were easy to talk to and made both my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our wedding photos turned out amazing as well. I loved that they took time to capture candids as well as posed shots. They even offered video services and the video was definitely the highlight of our wedding package. The video had a beautiful, loving song to start and then it transitioned into highlighting the party that our wedding was. Our galleries were delivered in a timely manner and they even sent the audio from our speeches and private vow session. Vic and I loved working with Dylan and Pauline :)

Bethany Wolf Photography

  • Serves La Jolla, CA

A true adventure junkie. As soon as I see a photo of a beautiful landscape, I'm ready to roll. I've traveled to 26 states, visited 14 National Parks, and have lived in 6 states! For 25 years of life, I say I'm doing pretty good with the whole 'experience' aspect. Along the way I've managed to accumulate 4 amazing pets. A Pitty, German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, and a REALLY cute cat. On a normal day, you can find me slumped in front of my computer, burying myself in my work (I'm obsessed okay) with some show playing in the background. I love cooking new recipes and feeding my loved ones (probably just as much as I love capturing your love).

I don't even know where to start! A few years back I found Bethany's photography page on Facebook, I loved her work so much that I have been following her since then. When the time came that I needed to plan for my own wedding this year, I did not think twice and reached out to her as soon as we got the final date of our wedding. At that time, I did not even know where the celebration would be or what theme/colors we will choose for our wedding. I booked her even before finding my own wedding dress! Trevor and I literally only had three months to prep for a whole wedding. I just knew in my heart that I had to book her first before anything else! She sent us a long questionnaire so that she can have an overview of who we are as a couple and to find out what we expect from her. This showed that she makes all her services very personal. The first time Trevor and I met her were during our Engagement shoot. That day was THE most stressful because there were thunderstorms, and our shoot was going to be outdoors. Bethany has been so responsive while monitoring the weather every hour and mind you- she had to travel from NC to VA that day and was very punctual. We ended up going for the shoot because the rain stopped, and it ended up PERFECT! Trevor and I never had the experience to have a professional photoshoot done before, but Bethany made it so easy for us. She gave us cues on what to do and she just captured raw emotions which accurately reflected Trevor and I’s relationship. It was very fun and natural- no awkward moments at all! Here’s the best part- She sent me the sneak peeks of our photoshoot right on the next day! I didn’t have to wait for so long to see some photos and those kept me patient while she worked on the rest of the photos for the weeks to come. The sixth week came, and she sent me all the photos and we were just so obsessed with them! I even had one printed out on a large canvas as our welcome sign for our big day! Bethany went ABOVE AND BEYOND and created a program for our wedding which was very helpful for our wedding planning. She wanted to make sure that everyone (videographer, DJ and MC) will be on board and all the activities will fit on the timeline. On our wedding day, we were running late because of hair and make-up and Bethany stayed calm and still took the best prep wedding photos. She captured everything from the church ceremony, outdoor photos during cocktail hour, and the whole reception. I made the perfect decision to book her for the whole 8 hours. It was well worth it. Since she specializes in outdoor/destination weddings, our indoor ceremony and reception photos still DID NOT disappoint. She captured our emotions as well as of our guests, details of the wedding, all activities, and the dance party. She is amazing at what she does, she loves capturing moments and it shows in her work! Even though she works alone, she was still able to capture EVERYTHING on our wedding day. It’s been a whole month since our big day and I still can't stop looking at our sneak peek photos! I am so excited to see the rest of the photos and we are very grateful that Bethany was the ONE we chose to capture our Best Day Ever. She deserves unlimited stars and I highly recommend her!

  • Serves La Jolla, CA

As a professional wedding photographer based in South Florida, I specialize in capturing the genuine essence of love. My passion for photography extends beyond the lens, fueled by my love for nature, adventure, and travel. Whether it's capturing love while exploring mountainous terrain, enjoying sunsets, or strolling lakeside, I find inspiration in every moment. Alongside my photography pursuits, I enjoy spending quality time boating, dining, and cherishing moments with my little family. I photograph weddings in Florida, across the US, and Internationally.

God blessed us with the sweetest, most loving, & extremely talented couple to capture the sweet moments of our engagement and wedding day. We felt completely comfortable and natural during our photography and videography session. Shelby and Trevor were so easy to work with, easy going, and completely calmed our nerves on our wedding day. Our hearts are so full knowing we had this amazing couple to share our day with. We can’t wait to show our future generations these beautiful memories. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!!

Right after graduating from CSU Sacramento in 2012 (with a BA in Photography, might I add!), I did photography as a side-hustle while working a couple of various jobs: part-time as a Summer camp counselor and full-time at a medical device company. After getting married in 2016, I moved to Modesto with my husband since he was working there at the time. Because of the move, I had to leave my jobs in the East Bay. I took this move to the Central Valley as a sign that I should do photography full-time. So, since 2017, I've been a full-time wedding photographer. We are now in beautiful Sonoma County!

Oh geez, I don't know where to start with how much I loved working with Diane! We originally worked with her for our engagement shoot, and from the beginning she was responsive and all of her communication was detailed and transparent. She put so much time into getting to know my partner and I so that she could capture us in a genuine manner, and also so that she could help us feel as comfortable as possible taking photos (it was our first time taking photos professionally, and neither of us is super comfortable in front of a camera). Taking the photos was so much fun, and her final product captured that so incredibly well. We were OBSESSED with the photos. Her Instagram really captured her skill and artistry because we saw them in our final products, too. Working with her for our wedding was such a clear choice! In the process of preparing for the wedding, she again collected so many details from us to make sure she understood what kinds of photos we wanted, and her timeline for the day ran perfectly! We got every shot we wanted, and she checked in along the way to also get any photos we hadn't thought about leading up to the wedding. She is an absolute PRO!!! Not only that, but she brought so much joy, light, and fun to the day. Our guests loved her too!! I heard so much from them after the fact about how they felt like she was somehow everywhere all at once, not a moment to be missed!! The wedding JUST happened, and we already have LOTS of sneak peeks that look incredible. We absolutely loved working with Diane, and seriously cannot recommend her more highly. She is an absolute joy and gem, and we will absolutely be working with her in the future for any special occasions we want help capturing. THANK YOU DIANE!!

Call me your candid emotion curator! I consider myself to be an illustrator of love stories, here to capture your wedding day naturally as it unfolds! My style is a blend of curated candid moments and directing you through poses that are natural and authentic to you and your relationship.

We feel so fortunate to have found Jasmine! We clicked with her personality immediately and felt like we could truly be ourselves, which is so important to capture in photos. We don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera, but she made it easier and was able to fool the world into thinking we might be photogenic. Jasmine took our engagement photos first, which helped us get to know each other, and we had a low-pressure opportunity to get the hang of the process before the big day. And when it came to the wedding day, Jasmine and her husband were so on top of it. The turnaround to get the full gallery was so quick and it was such a joy to relive the memories through the beautiful photos. They captured so many key moments perfectly, especially the candids. The wedding day was such a blur for us, so this photo gallery is precious. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Not only did we find a truly wonderful photographer, but we feel we found a friend.

Sam Sarkis Photography “Photography is more than a job for me, it is my passion! It is who I am as an individual. Some call me a friend or mentor; my family calls me a Father and a Husband. But everybody calls me a Photographer. That is who I am and what I am known for. As a young man growing I had a dream to capture the dreams of others and bring them to reality on film and canvass, this was what I was born to do. Each day I walk into my studio, I thank God for allowing me the privilege of living out my dreams.”

-Overall: We loved working with Sam and his daughter Loreen – they were professional, kind, and captured so many wonderful moments at our May wedding. -Photo Style: We hired Sam and Loreen for our wedding photos for their cinematic qualities. We looked at several photographers, but we saw a lot of photos that looked like they could have been taken with an iPhone. Sam is different - his style is classic photography, and Loreen's attention to detail really complimented Sam's style. -Working with Sam and Loreen: We did many portraits as a couple and with our wedding party, and Sam and Loreen worked the room during our cocktail hour and reception. In addition, we interviewed Sam and he reassured us that working with my brother, Seth, who is autistic, wouldn't be a problem - and it wasn't! Sam and Loreen gave great, clear instruction, which is always helpful and appreciated.

A&H Photo Co.

We're Ammy & Hien, a husband & wife wedding photographer team. Our photography style is natural, fun, and modern. We use a mixture of photojournalism (candid, documentary) and organically posed portraits to create a wedding day album that makes our couples both look and feel like rockstars.

The best choice we ever made was to get married, and the second best choice we made was to hire Ammy & Hien as our wedding photographers. After securing our date and venue we began searching for a photography vendor right away because it was one of the highest priorities for us. I don’t know how to review Ammy & Hien without sounding like I’m exaggerating my appreciation and respect for them but I genuinely feel so unbelievably lucky to have worked with them so reader beware-this gets gushy. We worked with A&H for both our engagement and wedding photography and they blew away our wildest expectations with both- for their photo quality, professionalism, and personalities. We are sad our wedding is over because it was so fun, but also because we won’t have an excuse to get together with these two in the near future again. We consider ourselves camera awkward people and their kindness and friendliness made us feel (and look!) so comfortable. They both took the time to get to know us to understand what we were expecting from our wedding photos and our experience working with them. On our wedding day- we felt their presence and didn’t feel their presence at the same time-in the best way. It was important to us to “go with the flow” of the day and make memories laughing/crying/dancing/eating/hugging etc. and not have memories missing out on important moments because we were being posed for photos. Ammy and Hien worked so well with this concept and our timeline (and the sudden timeline changes!) so that we didn’t feel pulled in any direction by them at all, but when we needed them they were there to get the important shots and to provide delight and encouragement for our day. I remember multiples times during the day feeling my nerves creep up (as brides do) and I’d look over to see Ammy’s reassuring eyes and feel her calm energy and instantly feel at ease. I remember multiples times having a blast on the dance floor or laughing at cocktail hour and catching a glance of Hien’s bright smile-he was taking our photo of course but it never felt like he was-just felt like another friend enjoying the moment with us. Hiring Ammy and Hien for any photography occasion-especially a big celebration like a wedding-will be a brilliant decision for you that will benefit you in more ways that you expected. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts A&H for everything you did to prepare for our wedding, the way you showed up the day of, and the beautiful photographs we will have to remember the best day ever-forever. We know you both went completely above and beyond and we’ll be forever grateful.

Meet your favorite FUNtographer: Stephanie began her studies with the plan to become a pilot. However, as her love for photography grew, she decided to pursue her passion as a business full time, getting to weave her love of capturing moments artistically and want to share that passion with others into a successful business where her clients always come first. Building into her style, she found her travels and time living abroad in college have influenced her images and allowed her to challenge her personal style of capturing moments, and coupled with lots of in the field learning, she is able to catch true emotions in a timeless way.
