Jen Peterson Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Mendocino, CA for additional fees

HELLO THERE! I’m Jen! A Portrait, Wedding, and Real Estate photographer located in the beautiful Northern California area. With many years of experience and a consistent style; I deliver images that are radiant, joyful, and everlasting. But even more than the photos I deliver, I believe that my clients deserve the BEST photographic EXPERIENCE possible. I am a mom and step-mom to four beautiful children and am a devoted wife to Matt (who is also my second shooter on wedding days as a matter of fact!). I’m so excited that you stopped by, I would love to learn more about you!

My husband and I recently had the privilege of working along Jen and her husband Matt as our wedding photographers. A week before our wedding, we received some unfortunate news that our original photographer was no longer able to shoot our wedding, based on an unfortunate situation. Immediately, she reassured me that we would be in the best hands with Jen Peterson Photography. As you can imagine, that's a lot to take in so close to your wedding day, but as soon as I spoke to Jen on the phone (whom I've never met), all my nerves slipped away! It was as though I had known her for years. She truly is the most kindhearted, genuine, and uplifting person I've ever had a chance to work with! The fact the her and Matt graciously agreed to shoot our wedding, no questions asked and so last minute, speaks of their character. Fast forward to our wedding, they far exceeded every expectation we had! From wrangling in two extended families, to dealing with the sweltering summer heat, nothing stopped them. Throughout the entire day, she made sure EVERY photo was perfect. Also, I can honestly say that in all the weddings I've attended, I never witnessed a photographer mingle amongst the guests to take their photo's to help the bride and groom relive their special day. While we were eating, Jen and Matt choose to take a break, instead, they captured so many wonderful, memorable photos of our guests that I am forever grateful for! Small details such as those are things you don't think to ask for, but they they took the initiative, and for that, I can not thank them enough. After our wedding, I was equally as impressed by how quickly Jen submitted our proofs to us. Upon reviewing them, EVERY single moment of our day was captured. The quality of our photos were breathtaking! Please do yourself a favor and use Jen Peterson Photography for your special day. You will be thoroughly impressed by their expertise , quality of work, and as a result, you'll be gifted the most amazing photos to look back on for years to come.

I'm Savanna, a wedding photographer who specializes in non-traditional and laid-back days. My work is documentary style, and it is my intention that your photos allow you to feel exactly how you did when they were taken, years later.

Savanna is amazing! It's so easy to connect and bond with her, right off the bat—she makes you feel instantly at ease. Additionally, her photography truly makes you feel transported back in time (a thing many photographers strive for, but Savanna truly achieves) to the day the photo was created. You won't regret having her along on your wedding day!

Photographing a couple's love story is something I never take for granted. It is an honor & privilege to create art for my couples. My absolute favorite thing to do is illustrate your love story, your adventure, your favorite memories. Let's create some magic!

Ashley is the best in the business. Period. We were initially incredibly excited to discover Ashley had our wedding date available, however, the result she delivered exceeded all expectations. Not only did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the personal shots, but she caught moments in which I was completely unaware of her presence. If you are lucky enough, hire Ashley to capture moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Five stars is not sufficient to describe the experience Ashley provides for her clients.

Jordan Lindsay Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Mendocino, CA for additional fees

Hey all you cute love birds!!! I am a Boise area photographer, BUT I LOVE to travel and would absolutely kill to travel for you! Okay, not literally kill but ya know. I would love love to travel for you! I am a wedding photographer, who specializes in elopements and intimate weddings! Do I still offer more traditional big weddings? HELL YES. My business is all about creating exceptional experiences! I want to make sure your day is so special, and that you get the images of your dreams! I try to stray from the traditional, and go for more fun, unique experiences! If you're looking for that, let's get this party started!!

I had seen Jordan's photos on instagram and fallen in love with their aesthetic. I've been in traditional posed wedding photos as part of the wedding party and family in the past and I just never look like myself in them. I cannot pose and get very self-conscious if I know my picture is being taken. But having candid moments from the day really meant the world to me and that is what really resonated with me in Jordan's style; the documentary feel. Beyond this, there is this incredible eye for lighting and angle and capturing just the right moment that this duo (because it is Jordan and her husband, Trent) brings that I didn't find in any other portfolio I went through when looking for a photographer. She was super patient and understanding when walking me through the process on our introduction and every other subsequent call leading up to the day. We weren't going to be using engagement photos for the traditional announcements, but I had this idea of a wonderful series of photos at this location on the island where we were having the wedding that we could have as kind of our own celebration of our engagement and they were instantly on board and agreed to come out the day before to do those photos at that time. It ended up being a really lovely time for us 4 to bond and get used to each other so I highly recommend doing some kind of engagement photo session even if you're a photo-averse person like myself and the thought of doing more photos seems like the last thing you want to do. Jordan and Trent are so calm and relaxed that it made it really easy to be natural around them. And then on the day they were absolute rockstars. We were, as is surprising to maybe no one but us, running super late and they very gracefully helped manage our extended families and the venue to keep the pressure off us while still getting everything done they could. We showed up to the venue with 20 minutes to the ceremony and we somehow managed to get all our family photos (with toddlers and blended modern family combinations in the mix) and still be only 5 minutes late on the ceremony start. Then we snuck away for sunset photos and that ended up being this absolutely beautiful time we got to spend together during the reception, not awkward at all. And I truly think that's because of how natural and talented this duo are at their jobs. They were like the most lovely and helpful guests at the wedding, truly like having friends who are photographing the day for you. They made the day exactly what I hoped for, this beautiful, cherished time spent with family and friends in a magical place celebrating being all together and I cannot imagine my wedding without them there. I don't have the full album yet, but I do have the engagement photos and an absolutely breathtaking sneak peek of the day and they are so beautiful I almost don't believe it. Hopefully I won't need another wedding photographer (hahahaha) but if I do need family photos for the future they will be my first call.

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was sooo easy to work with. Her visions aligned with mine, she was efficient and so sweet. I truly trusted her with everything in me and she did not disappoint! She traveled across the country for us and was a 10/10 human being and professional photographer. You need her!!

We were really happy to work with Norbert, he was always responsive, flexible and very attentive to our questions. He was very professional and friendly to us at all times. Plus, he gave us some great recommendations around the area that we hadn't even heard of! We have never really had pictures taken of us before in a romantic setting by a professional before, that alone was pretty intimidating for us. Norbert made the entire photo experience a lot less intimidating for us to go through, the pictures came out perfect in the end! Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely recommend him to anyone marrying in the future in need of a photographer.

Hi, I'm Lu. Weddings are more than just events — they’re a collection of fleeting, beautiful moments that deserve to be remembered just as they felt. From the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the joy on the dance floor, my goal is to capture the raw emotion, the small in-between glances, and all the laughter and happy tears that make your day uniquely yours. Every couple’s journey is different, and it’s a privilege to be trusted with telling yours. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I’m here to ensure your wedding gallery feels as real and unforgettable as the day itself.

I found Lauren here on Zola, never booking any vendor for anything ever, let alone a photographer for my wedding, and let me tell you, we hit the jackpot. Lauren is incredibly kind, patient, professional, funny, light hearted and is always down to have fun while she shoots! Our engagement photos were everything we wanted and our wedding photos will be even more amazing. She sent us sneak peaks faster than I ever imagined and it made us so excited for our full gallery. You will not regret booking your event with Lauren!! She knows what she is doing!

Sarah Rittenour Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Mendocino, CA for additional fees

I've never been much for tradition, so you can imagine weddings were never really my "thing" when I first picked up a camera. Luckily, I found that the wedding industry has been evolving away from the old cookie-cutter format and that is what keeps me doing what I do. My favorite weddings are the ones where you & your partner's personalities show throughout the day rather than getting lost in all the things you "have" to do. I love being part of a day filled with so much love & excitement and what I aim to do is find you in all of it. Because weddings aren't about fitting into a mold anymore - they're about you getting to celebrate your love.

In our search for a wedding photographer, Sarah's artistic style caught my eye right away. She offers a blended service of candid and semi-posed photographs which matched how we hoped to capture our wedding day moments. From our first phone call and in-person consultation, Sarah put us at ease. She helped organize our style preferences and 'must-capture' moments as we planned for the wedding. Her questionnaire helped bring focus in the planning phase and on the wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. I highly recommend Sarah's services, she has an eye for the little details you want to remember and she was discrete during the ceremony and reception while snapping candids (which I appreciated as someone who gets nervous in front of a camera!). We are so pleased with our photos and had a great time working together with Sarah.

Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a wedding photographer based in West Virginia! I find happiness in my family, my church, warm summer light, capturing moments on film, sunrises and sunsets, and reminiscing on nostalgic moments. I have a passion for travel and am always happy to go somewhere new! I picked up my first camera in middle school (thanks, Grandpa) and never looked back. I began documenting my own life, as well as special moments for my friends & family, and I quickly fell in love with the gift of memories that photography provides.

I cannot recommend Maddie highly enough! From the first moments of our special day, her warm and calming presence immediately put us at ease. She was so kind and professional throughout the entire process, making what could have been a stressful portion of the day feel effortless and joyful. Her attention to detail and ability to capture genuine, heartfelt moments are truly unmatched. Every time I look back at my wedding photos, I’m transported to that magical day all over again. These photos are treasures I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful to Maddie for preserving these memories so beautifully. If you’re looking for a photographer who is both talented and an absolute delight to work with, look no further! Congrats on your big day!

Are you looking for a photographer that feels more like a friend? One that makes you comfortable when posing and documents natural laughs? Oh hey! You found me! What is my style? I'm a candid and VIBRANT photographer. How would my friends describe me? Bubbly, loyal, and hilarious. Okay, maybe they don't tell me I'm hilarious but I laugh at my own jokes.

Strongly recommend working with Kaitlyn for your wedding photos-- we are so pleased with how the photos from our wedding turned out. I don't know how, but Kaitlyn captured just about every moment to a "t". Even reviewing our photos, we caught so many moments we missed the day of. So grateful we had such a professional and well-equipped photog in our corner on our special day-- it allowed us to kick back and enjoy ourselves, and I'm *SO* glad we put our faith in her. One note-- when working with Kaitlyn, she'll ask you to fill out a survey before your event. I'm so glad she did, because it got us thinking about what our priorities were before our wedding day, and every single photo we could've wanted or asked for is there! She even managed to corral our very camera-shy dog.

We adore reminiscing together over photos and videos, and because of this have had many professional photo shoots done to capture our relationship; each and every time, we have used Kinsey Skye. Our first shoot with her was a birthday gift from my husband, where we took mountain-top photos at sunset. The next shoot came when he proposed later that same year. Later, again, we hired Kinsey for our engagement photos. It was, of course, a no-brainer that we hire her to be our wedding photographer as well. Our wedding was set to be in Arkansas in July of 2020, and we were so elated knowing we had hired truly one of the most caring, personable, communicative, hard-working, and beyond talented photographers out there. Then... enter Covid-19. As quarantine swept across the country, we began making arrangements to resize our wedding to only a 40-person event, still in Arkansas. However, 12 days before our big day, 3 of our groomsmen fell ill with Covid-19, and my family (all of which live cross-country) made the decision they couldn't risk traveling 900 miles to Arkansas for our wedding. So, my husband and I made the tough decision to cancel almost all of our wedding plans in Arkansas, and instead take the wedding to my family in South Carolina for a spur-of-the-moment beach elopement in Charleston. But, after all the alterations we were forced to make in the midst of the pandemic, I refused to also give up Kinsey, the photographer who I trusted with my heart and soul to capture my wedding day. We contacted Kinsey with 12 days to spare, asking if she would be willing to follow us to South Carolina to photograph our elopement... unsurprisingly, she said yes. Kinsey, with her incredible heart and adventurer's soul, followed us 900 miles to the East Coast, and captured our elopement with some of the most stunning images we have ever seen. She documented our day with such beauty, ease, respect, intimacy, and careful attention to detail, making sure not to miss a single one of my requests. Her photos told the story of our day from start to finish, making our thrown-together-at-the-last-moment elopement look like a masterpiece. It was such a gift to be able to share the photos with our hundreds of friends and family who weren't able to witness the day in person. She also did extensive research on her own time to provide us with the most cost-effective and simplest options of getting her to South Carolina with us, as well as aided us in planning the timing of our day to coincide with sunset and the weather. Her photography skills aside, Kinsey is one of the most truly devoted and kind-hearted individuals we have had the pleasure of meeting, and working with time and again. Photography is more than a job to her - it is so clearly her passion. She is an embodiment of respect, preparedness, professionality, and genuine joy. I can not recommend Kinsey Skye Destination Wedding Photography highly enough. Look no further, and trust me when I say... you've found the photographer for you!

Kim & Mike were an absolute dream to work with! They are so easy to get along with and have such creative ideas for what to capture/how to capture photos. We felt so comfortable with them and doing our photos before the ceremony eased a lot of nerves. During the ceremony they were hardly noticeable and yet managed to capture it perfectly! Sneak peaks were posted to Facebook quickly and we received all over our photos (nearly 1,000) in just a few weeks. Highly recommend!
