Highly recommend David and Blanca Photography! They are truly amazing at what they do and such a pleasure to work with. They were so accommodating to plan changes and unforeseen delays on our end the day of the wedding, and they made sure to get all of our requested shots and then some. Their vision and direction for our portraits gave us the most beautiful memories of our wedding day, and we are so grateful to have had their services.

Alex offered us such an amazing package it was hard to reject, he offered us everything we were looking for PLUS more for such a great price. He is so kind & respectful and made our engagement shoot super enjoyable. We were super nervous going into our shoot because neither of us are good with the camera, but alex guided us throughout the entire process and was incredibly helpful and patient. He had us laughing the entire time which made it super easy to capture those beautiful, raw moments. The final images are everything we could have hoped for and more. We are so grateful to have such wonderful memories thanks to Alex. We cannot wait for him to capture our special day.

Dean MacKay Photography has been such a joy to work with! Our wedding was back in May 2024, and with a reception do-over happening very soon (due to illness-driven reasons), we are looking forward to working with him again! Dean's communication is timely, professional, and always makes sure his clients' requests are completed (reasonably). Dean puts all of his energy in making sure magical moments are captured along with getting moments that are timeless and elegant. He was absolutely phenomenal to have as our wedding photographer and even got photos of things we don't remember happening! In making sure our special day is everything we could imagine, it was super sweet to meet and discuss locations, ideal shots, and more leading up to the big day (which made the wedding day a bit less stressful). Dean is also very reasonable for travel! If you are looking for someone to make your day feel special and candid, he is your guy!

For 13 years already we’ve felt truly honored to have people’s trust for considering us to photograph one of the most important days of their life!

The Theodors were a great duo to work with. They were easy to book and to message. They are the type of people that you want to shoot any big important event of yours. They were both very friendly and soft spoken. Throughout the day, they were everywhere taking photos. I think they captured every possible moment of our wedding. They directed us perfectly to be able to capture all the beauty. Two weeks after our wedding they sent ALOT of photos as a sneak peek of what was to come. My wife and I loved every photo of our wedding that they have given us so far and are beyond excited to see the rest. Thank you Theodors for capturing the fun and excitement through your lense and allowing us to enjoy and reminisce for years to come.

I am a traveling documentary wedding film photographer. For me, taking photos has always been a way to not only express myself but to connect with the people around me. Documenting life and love has become second nature to me over the last 6 years as a wedding photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dominic was hands down our favorite vendor for our wedding!! I knew from our first conversation that he was the photographer we wanted. Truly an artist paying attention to each detail from the textures for the photos to the genuine emotions of those he's photographing. So insanely incredible to work with. Personable, responsive, attentive, and just a great person overall. Dominic was able to capture so many meaningful and fun moments during our day. I love his use of film. You can tell he's passionate about what he does. His style and texture make the wedding photos more than just capturing the day, it's truly artwork I proudly display in my home. Yes, we printed every. single. picture. Hire this man.

  • Serves Montclair, CA

Lauren Gdowski (she/her/hers) is a bright and true-to-life wedding photographer for the couples who want a worry-free day! After months of rigorous planning, you'll finally be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy your wedding day. The culmination of your hard work doesn't last long, so taking in those fleeting moments should be your top priority. That's where I come in... I'll guide you through a stress-free day, capturing fleeting moments so you get to relive them time and time again.

Lauren was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! From the initial zoom call to the post wedding follow up she has been nothing but professional, warm, communicative and a delight to work with. My wife and I planned our wedding ourselves and did not have a day of coordinator and Lauren did an incredible job executing our shot list, keeping us on time and was flexible with some last minute ideas. She was incredibly detailed in the lead up to the wedding and we felt confident that we were all on the same page for the day of timeline. We received so many compliments from our wedding party and guests who all loved her professional approach and the way she coached everyone through their poses so they could look their best. As an lgbtq and somewhat PDA shy couple we felt really comfortable with her and the way she hyped us up during our individual and couples portraits allowed us to get some intimate pictures that are so special. If you are looking for great quality photos and an amazing customer service experience you have found the right person!

Pawel and I have know each other for more years than either one of us care to admit. We met the old fashion way, in a bar and have been married for 10 amazing years. In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

Jenn and Pawel Photography were the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we booked them, their communication was easy, friendly and professional. They felt like part of the family, working seamlessly with everyone to capture all the special moments. Jenn and Pawel have an amazing artistic eye, turning every setting into a work of art. They brought wonderful ideas, were never bossy, and just got the job done with enthusiasm. We couldn't be happier with the incredible photos that beautifully preserve the joy of our wedding day. Hands down, Jenn and Pawel are the best photographer team around!

We have the best job in the world, a job that lets us travel, take photos, meet awesome couples, and make new friends everyday. We have been doing photography and videography professionally for 9 years and have been a part of close to 100 weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
The title says it all 2 of my best friends had already booked Ally & Andre, and seeing how they worked on our wedding day, was the reason I knew they would shoot my wedding, (even though I didn't have a partner at the time). Years later, they were the first vendors I booked. I wanted a romantic feel to my wedding photos, and they were fully executed, and I say that full-heartedly as I am a photographer myself. ( I am also picky) Out of all the things that came out of our wedding, our photos were our favorite. Ally and Andre were the most relaxing part of my day, and even though I was so stressed and my groom was hungover, their calm demeanor just made our day so much more special. I highly recommend them and expect more of my friends to use them!

Wild Irish Rose Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Montclair, CA

I run on shenanigans, sassiness, and an obscene amount of coffee. And I grew up in the mountains so that makes me a wildflower at heart and a mountain girl through and through. When we meet be prepared for me to crack jokes, laugh loudly, gesture wildly, and run full sprint towards something I think is pretty (while trying not to die). I believe in embracing life with a whole lot of weirdness, far too much smart-aleck humor, and every single ounce of fierce passion, obsessive gratitude, profound inspiration, and reckless joy that I can forcefully wring out of this adventure called life. So that's me.

Writing a review for Kristin is really hard because there are so many good things to talk about. When I started looking for a photographer, I became quickly discouraged when looking at so many websites but found they weren't easy to navigate or find information on. When I found Kristin's, I immediately felt enlivened and excited because first off, her website had so much information and was so easy to use. The more I explored, the more I was impressed by her organization, information provided, galleries uploaded, and how she presented herself. She was the first and only photographer I showed my fiancé and then immediately booked a consultation with. On our first call, we were immediately struck by how comfortable she made us feel and excited about taking photos as neither of us knew what to expect. We went in to the appointment expecting no availability and/or to not be able to afford her with our budget. We were blown away that she was free on our date and that our budget would work. The follow-up email was so helpful as it featured different galleries to showcase the options of packages we talked about of time length. Her packages are so easy to work through and so customizable, we were just amazed at the ease of it! She made the engagement photo session so easy to laugh in and get to know her and the location she picked was amazing. We're both awkward people in front of the camera and she made it so easy to be ourselves. I love her spontaneity to just say, "here's a great spot, let's try this!" She was conscientious to ask about our level of PDA that we were comfortable with and suggested great poses. It didn't even feel like we had someone taking photos of us! As the wedding got closer, her emails provided great resources for me to make a timeline and photo list. She was so gracious when we explained family complications and helped create a photo order for how to navigate that. I honestly felt so cared for and prepared by her in how easily reachable she was, the information provided in emails, and in her thoughtful responses. We had her do rehearsal coverage and we're so thankful we did so that the lightning was adjusted the night before so that it didn't have to be done the day of. The photos of just us and our out-of-town guests and family are priceless. On our wedding day, she was an anchor. She so thoughtfully brought fancy hangers for my dress, extra cloth for detail shots, ring boxes, and you name it, she had it. Despite a million questions, she and the second shooter kept everyone calm and were so gracious even when part of their lunch didn't show up (forever mortified by that.) My getting ready photos/first look with my family are some that I'll treasure as some of my favorites because of the emotion captured. She and her second shooter also got us AHEAD of schedule after the ceremony despite playing having to play catch up. Our private couple's session was so easy to enjoy time together and forget that she was there. Her spontaneity and creative eye found amazing locations on site that created the most amazing photos. The reception photos capture the life and joy that made it such a fun time. We managed to almost run her over during our first dance, but she reacted with such grace that it wasn't noticed by our guests. The sneak peaks were incredible and we were shocked that we got them the next day! They were so special and made us even more eager to see them all. All that said, I can't recommend Kristin enough!

Besides marrying my husband, hiring Drzazga Photo as our photographer and videographer was the best decision I made! To say that Carly and Kasey were outstanding is an understatement.

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!
