Shutter & Sound 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Mission Viejo, CA

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

Cassy has that key important skill of a great photographer: how to make people feel comfortable and relaxed, while having fun! Cassy takes such beautiful pictures and all of my couples have been very happy with her. She is so friendly and. very professional. Highly recommended!

Hello. I'm Steven. Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming a professional in 2017, I have serviced over 80 weddings at diverse locations in my career. Throughout 3 years of my profession, I have chosen the path of fine art photography, which embraces natural colors, rich content, and especially real-time emotions.

My Wife and I couldn’t be happier with the amazing job Steven did. We will cherish and share these wonderful candid snapshots of our family and friends coming together to celebrate our love. Steven and his team were able to navigate the long 12-hour Vietnamese wedding ceremony with dedication and professionalism. His team were able to stage the shots quickly while provide concise directions so we could meet our busy wedding schedule. They emphasized that we should enjoy our big day. Whether it was firing off jokes, providing valuable assistance, or answering our questions, Steven and his team were a dream to work with and we couldn’t recommend them more.

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

Words truly cannot capture how much we love Madeleine. From our very first interaction, it was clear we had found someone special to document our day. Madeleine's talent and passion shone through every moment we spent with her, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She expertly corralled our enormous family, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time, all while keeping us on schedule. In the midst of the whirlwind, she made us feel so beautiful and comfortable, even as we were being pulled in various directions. Her ability to blend professionalism with a warm, friendly demeanor kept us laughing throughout the day, easing any feelings of being overwhelmed. The photos she captured are pure magic. Each image tells a story, beautifully preserving the joy and love of our wedding day. Madeleine’s photos exude the exact emotions we felt throughout our day and I know we will cherish them forever. One of the hardest parts of the wedding being over is the realization that we won’t get to see Madeleine again. It feels like we gained a true friend throughout this process, and we now know exactly who to call to capture all of life's big events in the future. Thank you, Madeleine, for your incredible work and for making our day unforgettable! We love you so much!

Nathan and Brianna make sure the whole process is comfortable and fun, our wedding day was no different. On our wedding day they made sure every photo I had dreamed of was included and even gave ideas of certain shots I hadn’t thought of. They all turned out incredible! They handled all the details and worked with my videographer seamlessly.

Anatoliy is from Kazakhstan, where he studied transportation technology at Karaganda State Technical University, before getting his MFA in filmmaking from New York Film Academy. Susie is from LA, and she studied molecular & cellular biology at Harvard University (along with film and animation), before getting her MS in computer science from UChicago. While we were both in engineering, deep down, we always had a passion for storytelling. And one day, we decided that life was far too short for us not to do what we loved: creating and sharing real stories.

I don't think there are words to truly express how much Anatoliy K, Susie, and team made our wedding photo dreams come true. From a perfect engagement shoot on the beach to our big day in a spring garden - the photos say it all! Each moment and detail was so perfectly captured, and made our hearts burst looking at each picture. We are truly blown away by the high-quality, attention to detail, and gorgeous compositions that came out of such a creative team. Once I saw AnatoliyK Weddings on Zola, they stood out, and they truly delivered. It was SUCH a pleasure and joy working with Anatoliy and Susie from the beginning to end. They made our vision come to life, and we have it for a lifetime to remember! THANK YOU so much to such an amazing wedding photography team. I cannot recommend you hire them enough!!!

Grace is an amazing photographer! If I could give her 10 stars I absolutely would. She was amazing working with both of our crazy families and from the very beginning I knew that she’d do a great job capturing the special moments of our special day. She worked with everyone and did a great job explaining what everyone needed to do to get a perfect shot. She also was absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old son who would’ve climbed in the car and went home with her if he could. If I could do it all over again I would definitely always pick Grace to shoot our wedding! She was an amazing addition to the day and we are so thankful that we found her.

My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own.

She makes everyone she meets feel comfortable, confident and beautiful in their pictures! On top of honoring our "shot list" and getting all of my top priorities taken care of, Emily scoped out the venue and came up with fun locations and ideas that we hadn't considered!

Wellington worked with my husband and I for our engagement and wedding pictures. He was awesome to work with from him as a person to his attention to all the details and professionalism. When we first took our engagement photos, he made the experience fun and the pictures really expressed who my husband and I are together. Before our wedding day, Wellington came to our rehearsal for no pay. He did a walk through with us and helped plan out the pictures and locations. On our wedding day, he captured everything that we had talked about and so much more. Everything he did had a purpose and at the end of it our pictures came out great. All of the photos are amazing. I would highly recommend Wellington for any event. If you hire him, you won’t be disappointed. He is a nice guy too.

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day ! We are so excited to share these photos with our loved ones for generations to come.

I've had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember; I used it like a pocket journal of sorts and photographed constantly while growing up in Hawai'i. I fell into weddings when my dad remarried in 2013, and I remember being caught off guard by the swirl of emotions I felt standing at the edge of a new beginning. Turning those feelings into tangible memories was the only thing that made sense. I moved to New York City to refine my skillset and took a detour into the fashion industry before receiving my Bachelor's in photography from NYU.

Without a doubt, Natalie was the best 'purchase' of our wedding. We hummed and hawwed for months about whether or not to get a photographer - everyone has an iPhone right? They take pretty good shots. And a photographer makes up a significant portion of the budget. We were so very wrong on all counts. Every time I look through both our engagement shoot, and our wedding, I get teary. She has managed to capture the very essence of us, our emotions, our personalities and all of the special moments that made up the day. In the end we asked everyone to put away their phones and let Natalie and her amazing co-pilot husband Conor, do their work. Which they did beautifully. Natalie is an NYU trained photographer - her photographs are a mixture of fine art, portrait and breathtaking scenic shots. There's no WAY you can capture the heart of a day without a professional, and even some of those don't manage to get it right. Natalie does it all with a laugh, a smile, and an ability to make everyone feel at ease. Nearly every one of our guests commented on how much they liked our photographer - she made them feel at ease and was never intrusive or rude, like many photographers can be to guests. On this point, it was also important to us that we got shots of everyone having fun at the wedding - we didn't want to end up with 800 photos of just the two of us, like so many portfolio wedding albums we saw. Natalie and Conor made sure that they covered everything - we have photos of all of our loved ones enjoying themselves. We love it! Finally, in terms of support, Natalie is incredibly responsive, able to work to both a timeline and a direction, and her edits are speedy and beautiful. We made a life-long friend in Natalie and know that we will be hiring her again to capture all of life's most important moments. We cannot thank, or recommend her enough. Now, stop debating and get in touch with her! It'll be the best and easiest wedding decision you've made.

I’m Ashley Checkos, a wedding photographer with a background in management and photography. With 3 years of experience, I bring a detail-oriented, organized, and efficient approach to every event. My philosophy is to see clients through my lens, letting their unique energy set the tone for their day. I’ve worked at diverse venues, from intimate courthouses to grand historic hotels, connecting deeply with each couple to capture their story. I’m excited to create lasting memories of your special day.

I highly recommend MyselfLens for any occasion to take your photos. Ashley is so easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable even when I was 7 months postpartum and didn't love my body. She moved throughout my busy day with ease and it felt like she wasn't even there at times which made it possible for her to catch candid moments. I still look back at my wedding photos in complete awe that she could capture those moments and make them so aesthetically beautiful! She's so professional yet also feels like a friend. I will use her time and time again! She really made me feel like a princess.

I highly recommend this photographer. My wedding day was very stressful for me and my husband, Kin did everything to keep us stress free, it was fun and nice, and the end result is a great souvenir. I wanted to capture "moments" and emotions and he did it. I would highly recommend.

Albert and Liliya are incredible and truly passionate about their art of photography. I’ve always said that they are able to make their subjects look like celebrities. The fact that they only accept a limited number of weddings each year made my bride and me feel like celebrities as well.
