Modesto, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,590

I was born and raised in the Philippines but now call Northern California my home. I've been a photographer for over a decade and that journey has made me come to realize that nothing makes me happier than making those behind my lens feel amazing about themselves. My goal is to be so much more than your photographer. I'd love for you to consider me your friend especially because we'll be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day. Trust me to help fix any strands of hair that get in your face, straighten out your outfits, help you pose, and encourage you to enjoy this momentous day.

Tooney is everything you’d want in a photographer. Genuine, professional, communicative, talented, and incredible at candid photos. She photographed our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding, and I will be booking her for any future photoshoot needs.

Modesto, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

I thoroughly enjoy working with passionate, easy going, and family oriented clients. My clients are more than just clients to me. I truly care about them more then just clients. I consider them o be friends who I am emotionally connected with. I want them to be happy with their product just as much as my customer service. I aim to treat them the way I would want to be treated and going above and beyond to make that happen is what I do. Please don't hire me because I may be less expensive than someone else. Hire me because you like my style and because you know I care about you, We all have to make a living, but money isn't everything.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,999

As you can tell, sometimes choosing your photographer can be an overwhelming process. There are so many things to consider when narrowing it down to your perfect match. Of course, style and price are the main two, however, some couples forget that your photographer is the one person who is with you the most on your wedding or event day. That is why we offer complementary sessions to all our couples so we get to work together and create a bond. Instead of just being "the photographer" at your event, our goal is to capture beautiful images from your day and leave you with an experience that enhances your memories.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From start to finish, Wedding Times Film was an absolute dream to work with. They have an incredible eye for capturing not just moments, but emotions—every smile, tear, and laugh was documented so beautifully. The photos were beyond stunning—timeless, elegant, and so full of life. [Photographer’s Name] has this unique ability to make you feel completely at ease in front of the camera, which truly shines through in the natural and candid shots. Not only were they professional and attentive, but they also brought a calm and joyful energy to our wedding day, which made all the difference. We’ll cherish these photos forever and can’t thank them enough for perfectly capturing one of the most important days of our lives. If you’re looking for a talented, passionate, and reliable photographer, look no further—Wedding Times Film is amazing. Highly recommend!

Kathryn Lewis Photography

Modesto, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500

Kathryn, a Modesto native, began her career as a teacher with Teach for America in the San Francisco Bay Area, and after years in the classroom was driven to nonprofit work. Her photography business was born out of the desire to continue that work while also being financially independent. Kathryn is incredibly thankful for that winding path, and for all the wonderful couples who have allowed this dream to become a thriving business. Kathryn absolutely loves getting to capture special moments all over California and beyond, and strives to create clean, classic images and build meaningful connections with couples. Y también, ella habla español.

Kathryn is wonderful! We did our engagement photos with her as well as our wedding photos. She was so easy to work with, never once added to the stress of such an important day and gave us hundreds of beautiful photos. Four years into our marriage and I still have our album bookmarked on my browsers to flip through often. I highly recommend Kathryn for all your photo needs and hope to work with her for every special event in our future. She was flexible, intuitive and never once felt intrusive during our ceremony but managed to capture so many perfect shots.

I have been photographing couples for nearly 10 years and have loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed following them through engagement, wedding, maternity and now family sessions. I have even become life long friends with some of them. I am a mother of 3 and have always loved art, and once I picked up my camera and found a way to tell others love stories, I knew I found what I was supposed to do.

Valley Images Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with! As planners, we work with many photographers and Michelle is one of our favorites. Their communication style is quick, personal, caring, and professional. The quality of their work is truly beautiful, artistic, and unique. They took the time to scope out hidden gem spaces at the venues and listened closely to the couple to capture the day perfectly. An absolute joy to collaborate with!

We are incredibly grateful Xenia was our engagement/wedding photographer and couldn't be happier with the results! The photos will speak to her technical talent; her professionalism and dedication to her craft are evident in every shot. It was so hard for me to only select 6 photos. What the images don't explicitly show is that Xenia was an absolute joy to work with. She is clear, transparent, and helpful in her communication. Her straightforward and friendly communication ensured we were always on the same page and felt supported throughout the process. While shooting, she is organized and efficient. We got every shot we hoped for and then some. Her enthusiasm and joy were infectious. She made these two awkward nerds feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We cannot recommend Xenia enough! We will cherish the photos you took forever!

HOME STATES: California & Massachusetts | Hey, I'm Justina! in the dead of winter I'll be that person walking around with my iced coffee in one hand and airpods blasting underground hiphop or melodic punk all while thrifting for vintage treasures at your local savers. you'll also find me at creative meetups in boston, playing apex legends or catching up on reality when I'm able to find free time.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about Justina—she helped our wedding day run seamlessly! From the start, she was incredibly helpful and communicative, working closely with us to construct the perfect wedding day timeline. She even provided a detailed wedding guidebook and questionnaire, which helped us envision the exact vibe we wanted. On the big day, when we inevitably fell behind schedule, Justina handled it with such grace and adapted quickly. She adjusted effortlessly, stayed flexible, and kept everything moving. Even with less time for photos, she still managed to capture all the shots we had requested. Justina’s collaboration with her brother Anthony, who did our videography, was another highlight. Instead of coordinating between two separate vendors, we were able to meet with both of them together, ensuring that our wedding day vibe was beautifully reflected in both the photos and video. They both were extremely professional and helpful, in addition to providing creative ideas that helped bring our vision to life. What truly sets Justina apart is her talent and eye for candid shots that look and feel so natural. You can tell she cares deeply about the quality of her work. She got us a preview album within a week of the wedding, and my husband and I were so moved by the photos. We still cannot stop looking through them! If you want someone who will make your wedding photo dreams come true and help you feel comfortable and taken care of on our wedding day, look no further than Justina. We couldn’t be happier with our choice!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Hi there! I'm Sean, a Bay Area native who is pretty darn handy with a camera. I started my professional photography journey during the pandemic after losing my job working in STEM and Art Education. I decided to bet on myself and pursue my passion, which is to be a full-time photographer. What excites me most about being a photographer is the opportunity to create incredible art with amazing people. I love meeting new people and connecting with them. Wedding photography is so fulfilling because it requires so much trust, and seeing the joy from couples when they see their photos is truly magical.

**TO CONTACT: VISIT MY WEBSITE. I AM NOT ACTIVE ON ZOLA.** Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Awarded Best of Zola
When looking for an engagement and wedding photographer I wanted someone who was creative with their shoots, had a modern, yet timeless editing style, and was fun and flexible as we would be spending lots of time together! With Misha, I found exactly that!! For our engagement shoot, my husband and I had a vision to do our pictures with two of our favorite things: beer and redwood trees. Misha made our dreams come to a reality and was so helpful in finding a time when the lighting would work with both locations! And if wedding planning isn't already overwhelming enough, we had to cancel our big summer wedding due to COVID and switched to a backyard micro-wedding. Misha was extremely supportive and flexible the entire time! She helped me schedule our new mini wedding to a time that would work for lighting in my husband's parent's backyard, so we could get some killer golden hour shots! Side note: she also helped me get out makeup stains that ended up on my dress during our ceremony haha she can do it all! So thankful Misha was by our side during our engagement season and wedding ceremony! We cannot wait to work with her again for our (hopefully) 2021 wedding reception! :)

My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Jazmin was such an amazing photographer during our wedding. She went above and beyond SO many times, it blew me away. From agreeing to do our engagement photoshoot on a stormy cold, rainy day, to bringing specialized unique props for us to use. She continued to blow me away with her dedication to being exceptional and so friendly, sweet, and easygoing. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos were exceptional. She advertises herself as your BFF, and it really feels like it. You can tell she cares about her clients. On our wedding day, she also excelled, and we have beautiful photos, as well as film, and we just finalized our photo album with pictures from our engagement shoot as well as wedding. Jazmin included special shots I asked for such as a group photo, and artsy shots with bubbles in the forest. She was our favorite vendor hands down. They say the photographer should be one of the few vendors you splurge on, and we are SO happy we did. It was 100% worth every penny and more. I will recommend her to any of my friends getting married in the future.
