HI, I’M HILLARIE HUGHES . I am a lifestyle/wedding photographer based out of Merced, CA. I’m 30 years old, a wife and a mother to four beautiful kids. It's safe to say that I'm a VERY busy mama! You can catch me with my kindle when I’m not editing, and being as active as I can be in my children's lives. Never in a million years did I think that people would love my photos as much as they do, but I am so grateful and so blessed! I am learning more and more every session that I have, and have been incredibly lucky to have such awesome clients (turned into forever friends!) that have been with me during this entire journey.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Hillarie was the best decision I could have made for my wedding. I had a wedding at a venue she had never been to, and was a little nervous about her not being familiar with the grounds. My nerves were silly because she absolutely killed it. She over delivers and is the sweetest calm in the chaos. I wish I could relive my wedding day over and over, including having her there. I am so happy I went with her.

Northern California wedding photographer inspired by real moments between people who love each other and dreamy lighting. There is nothing I love more than capturing emotion and details in all the magical moments. I want to deliver photos filled with emotion, fun, and laughter. I bring lots of love and energy with me to make you feel comfortable so you can have fun in front of the camera. I work to build a true friendship with you to create trust which aids in gorgeous photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Natalie as our photographer for our wedding was like working with your best friend (I'm serious). She made us laugh the entire time, got just as excited as I did (if not more) over details for the flat lay, and was the perfect match for my husband's sarcasm. What more could you want in a photographer? What drew me, initially, to Natalie was her bright and light photos that captured candid moments beautifully. My husband and I have a very fun-loving personality and to find a photographer that captured every laugh was an instant-win. Natalie took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we could not be happier, as every photo was absolutely amazing and told a story throughout the engagement session and wedding. I will always look back on these photos with the biggest smile on my face, because they are simply beautiful. You can tell that she is painstakingly meticulous in curating the perfect gallery for you and that she loves her couples. If you're thinking of hiring Natalie for your wedding, do not hesitate. She was an absolute dream to work with and I hope we can work together in the future!

Jess was beyond amazing and made our day so special. It was incredible how beautiful our pictures turned out and she captured everything I could have ever imagined and beyond. It was actually quite impressive looking through the wedding album after we received it because Jess seemed like she was everywhere all of the time. She captured every moment sometimes with different angles and I am so grateful to be able to relive our wedding day while looking through the photos. I thought I would regret not having a videographer but Jess truly captured everything from start to finish and that the day just comes back to life when I look through all of the photos. As she captured our wedding day she was soooo very patient with my husband and I, our family, and all our friends. Everyone spoke so highly of her after our wedding and really appreciated having a relaxed, caring, funny, kind, and professional photographer. She also helped me while getting ready and truly made it so I could fully enjoy my wedding. I also asked her to shoot my graduation photos and lets just say I don't think I will ever inquire for a different photographer. I am looking forward to continuing to have her capture precious moments in my life for as long as she continues photography. Thank you for being more than I could have ever hoped for and capturing some of the most memorable days in my life and making them so extremely special. You are the best Jess!!! 3

I ordered photography and videography from them, they've done a great job! Iman and Ali were very friendly and caring, it was very easy to work with them and we did so many pictures in the short period of time that we had for photos during cocktail hour. And the price wasn't high at all, unlike other wedding photography companies. The turnarounds are not long, the way they edited our video was remarkable, and they conveyed the emotions we felt that day perfectly! If you are reading it now, waste no time, choose them!

Bonie Wedding was great to work with. From the start process, the communication was easy. Hannah was our lead photographer with Emily and Lactoya were our videographers, who were both great teams. I highly recommend using Bonie weddings for both photo and video, as the two teams worked together without any trouble. During the reception, we barely noticed their presence, yet every time we looked up they were there recording everything. It was so nice to know that your special day was captured from start to finish, without feeling overwhelming. We appreciated Hannah and Emily's directions for all the photos. The production team was great as well. Very responsive and easy to communicate. They make the entire process clear and concise, which is appreciated when the wedding planning process and day off can feel overwhelming. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received our video trailer, as well as some sneak peek pictures from Hannah via Dropbox.

It wasn’t until we arrived in Texas that I felt a longing to be creative and really pursue my dream for photography.

Hey!! Thank you for stopping by my page! I love to photograph weddings, but more than anything I like getting to know my clients, their families + their chosen families. I attract many LGBTQIA+ couples because I am an out and proud lesbian and I happen to have the most amazing wife. When I was planning my own wedding, there was a lack of representation in the wedding industry and I knew I needed to be a champion of love. Whether you are apart of the LGBTQIA+ community or you are an ally, I am happy to have you here. Tell me your love story + let me show the world how magical it is.

Awarded Best of Zola
We really can't say enough good things about Michelle. Even for our relatively small, DIY Fresno wedding we knew we wanted to pick our photographer thoughtfully. As a queer interfaith couple, it was really important to us that we didn't have to explain that to someone and risk them not wanting to work with us. It was also really important to us that we get the best photos we possibly could from a seasoned pro who could help us determine what was and wasn't important. Michelle was so clearly that person from the first consult--a booklet of tips and tricks mailed to us, multiple Zoom calls and surveys where she asked us every question under the sun, and a beautiful engagement session all happened before the day of our wedding! We've already seen some of the photos from the wedding, and I am blown away. In addition to all the happiness I expected to have from seeing our wedding day captured so beautifully, I also experienced a deep joy from having my (butch) exterior captured in formal portraits that I've never gotten before. From her photos to her demeanor to her prompt, clear communication and fun personality, she's the ultimate choice to photograph your wedding or big event. Thank you so much Michelle!

We absolutely LOVE Dana and we love how all of our engagement and wedding photos came out! (: She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera for our engagement shoot and it made it that much easier for our wedding! We had booked her for the time of our wedding and she even came early to get some prep/setup shots for us. We couldn’t be happier with our pictures and can’t wait to book her for future major life events! We love you Dana!! <3 (:

I'm Jess, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Sacramento, CA. I know the wedding planning process can be quite overwhelming, and that's why I'm here to help you at every step leading up to your special day. I take pride in making a comfortable environment while I take photos, so people can feel like their most confident, beautiful selves. I get the most satisfaction when couples see their photos for the first time and are amazed at how stunning they look. I love showcasing what I see through my lens and giving people the confidence they didn’t know they had!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess truly has a gift, and it's not just her artistic eye. It's her! We love her energy and the way she makes us feel really comfortable during her shoots no matter the location. She always has fun posing ideas and was also up for a few of our own crazy ideas (including riding a jet ski in our formal clothes!). Her photos really encapsulated our personalities and love. Jess has now captured all of my major life milestones: college graduation, professional headshots for my first big girl job, my engagement, my wedding, and our first photoshoot for our business. If you’re ever looking for a super talented photographer to work with, but also someone that will become your friend in the process, I highly recommend Jess. She’s the biggest sweetheart, wildly intelligent, and just an all around treat to have in your life. Jess has beautifully captured our journey so far, and we will continue to ask her to capture our path to come.

Hey there! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma + Worldwide! I travel everywhere. I love capturing magical outdoor weddings—whether it’s a dreamy garden, a historic home, a charming winery, or a private estate hidden in the woods (I'm basically the Indiana Jones of weddings). My couples often say how comfortable I make them feel, how I capture the real moments without being intrusive, and how much fun they have during our shoots. I’m obsessed with the details and love when couples pour their hearts into making their wedding day unforgettable.

Wow, just wow! Our experience with Vanessa Montano Photography was nothing short of phenomenal. From the initial consultation to receiving our breathtaking photos, every step was filled with professionalism, creativity, and a touch of magic. They effortlessly blended into our day, becoming an integral part of capturing not just images but emotions. Their talent isn’t just in snapping beautiful pictures; they have an innate ability to capture the essence of a moment, freezing laughter, tears, and all the little details we never want to forget. They made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process, ensuring our personalities shone through each frame. The final photos exceeded our wildest expectations. Each image tells a story, evoking the same emotions we felt on our special day. The quality, composition, and attention to detail are unparalleled. Thank you, Vanessa and team, for immortalizing the most incredible day of our lives. You’re not just a photographer; you’re an artist who beautifully crafts love stories through the lens. We’ll cherish these memories forever and highly recommend you to anyone seeking a photographer who turns moments into masterpieces!

  • Serves Modesto, CA

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Azaria not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.

Angela Sue Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. They were precise and thoughtful in their instructions and communication, which put us at ease throughout the day. Their work is very intentional and detail-oriented - they showed up promptly and made us feel like our day was their top priority. For example, Michael and Angela had memorized the names of our family members in advance, which made the group photos seamless and efficient. We couldn't have asked for better photographers to capture our special day. The photos are airy, bright, and perfectly capture all the details and couple shots. Angela and Michael made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and blended in seamlessly with our wedding celebration. There is no one better we could have had for our wedding photography.

Marsha has been taking our Mommy and Me photos since 2012. When it was time to get married in 2018, I didn’t hesitate to call her. I knew that I wanted to have Marsha capture one of the best days of our lives, so I booked my photographer, before even scouting a venue. She is sweet, funny, and flexible, all while remaining professional. Her honesty is genuine and she wants the best of what you aim to achieve. If you don’t know it, she’ll guide you there. She makes things fun and comfortable for everyone. I adore her and you will, too!
