Specialising in crafting elegant visual narratives for local and global celebrations with a vision to capture the essence of your special day through the medium of storytelling.

Highly recommended Rob for your wedding. He helps make everything as stress-free as possible. From the initial Zoom call to coordinating on the day, Rob was always on hand to reassure you. Rob worked incredibly hard over a 12 hour day with multiple locations including the hotel in the morning and some very busy streets in Soho. He made sure we got all the family and group photos as well as the more candid moments we wanted throughout the day. Rob is not only a fantastic photographer who can translate your vision into reality but someone you can feel instantly comfortable around. Great for a couple who don't like their pictures being taken!

Brooke Beasley Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,200
  • Serves Monte Rio, CA

I'm a San Francisco bay area based wedding photographer. However, I am available for travel anywhere! Passport is ready and willing! Truth: I am slightly obsessed with all things girly, and anything that sparkles. Ok, well, maybe it's not slightly, more like severely. I think it's because I live in a house full of boys; I have an amazing hubby and 3 little men. Shooting weddings and seeing people on their amazing day is my happy place. When I'm shooting your wedding I want it to be so fun and relaxed that you are able to enjoy the process.

Brooke and Laurel photographed our wedding in November 2023 at Casa Real in Pleasanton, CA. We started at 10am and ended around 9pm (a long day!!). Brooke was extremely communicative and detailed oriented through the entire planning process. On the wedding day, Brooke and Laurel were awesome the entire time, guiding us through lighting, poses, and making sure everything was captured. They were also extremely nice, and it was so much fun to work with them. Highly recommend!!

  • Serves Monte Rio, CA

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Fox & Fig Photography

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. 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. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Awarded Best of Zola
We highly recommend Fox&Fig! Sarah was exceptionally helpful and responsive, even with the imminent arrival of her newborn. While she couldn't cover our wedding day, she recommended her colleague Nicole to take the photos (who did an amazing job) while doing all the lead-up collaboration with us and editing afterwards. We had an amazing experience with them both and felt so supported and confident in the results throughout the whole process. Sarah was prompt with our sneak peaks and delivered the wedding album ahead of schedule. We were absolutely THRILLED with how they turned out! Sarah was extremely professional and we would 100% do it again. Thank you Sarah!

  • Serves Monte Rio, CA

My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
We feel like the luckiest people in the world to have had Cassie and her team as part of our wedding day. Cassie is pure magic with her camera, capturing the most ethereal, timeless, serendipitous, and joyful photos. Her magic lies in her ability to tell the story of the day, and we are able to relive all of our emotions through the day through just her photos. All the anticipatory moments filled with butterflies and giddiness, to the surprise of first looks, the surreal feeling of walking down the aisle, and the collective celebration of getting married. Her craft is both built on her incredible expertise in capturing the momentous moments, and also her ability to make people feel so comfortable. Cassie is so genuine, friendly, professional, communicative, and incredibly comfortable to be around. She gave many gentle reminders to relax, remember we love these people, and lean in closer. You just smile a little bigger when you trust the person behind the camera, and that's exactly what working with Cassie felt like. Everyone in our wedding party commented on how surprised they were that the dedicated photo time felt fun and easy -- all thanks to Cassie and her team. Cassie gave us the wedding photos of our dreams, completely romanticizing our time in Golden Gate Park and Chinatown in San Francisco. We are so grateful for her creative drive, and we give our highest recommendation to anyone thinking about hiring Cassie!

I can't say enough about the incredible work Jasmine does. From the first interview with her, to the engagement shoot, promptly delivered sneak peeks (within 24 hours for engagement and wedding!), extraordinarily detailed agenda, and full suite of wedding photos- Jasmine has been nothing but a pleasure to work with and we are so pleased with her final products. Beyond her stunning portfolio, what makes Jasmine stand out as someone ideal to work with is her professionalism, calm demeanor and overall organization.

Jasmine and her assistant Kara had such a calming presence and were able to guide us through poses and portraits with natural grace.

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.

Hi you guys, my name's Natalie, & I'm so glad you're here! I’m a joy-filled, Southern California surfer girl who is in love with capturing weddings.  My style? It’s timeless, romantic, adventuresome, & personal. I’m dedicated to capturing fine elegance + raw beauty all the while keeping it real + being authentic. Your job is to be in love & live in that excitement with each other. My job is to make it easy + enjoyable for you two to be yourselves, 100%, as I frame and capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments in a way that only my mind can. Congratulations to you both! Looking forward to getting to know each other! xx Natalie

You always picture how your wedding will be. The amazing feeling you will have to see everything you envisioned come together into one beautiful day. How much fun you will have getting ready in the morning with your best friends, sisters, and momma’s. And the love in your Husbands eyes when he see’s his future wife walking down the aisle. You picture the beauty of the day both visually and emotionally, and how you will cherish those memories forever. Perhaps one of the most import jobs on your wedding day is given to who you entrust in capturing those moments. I met Natalie through work. I am a wedding coordinator, and I had reached out to her when I started working in the area. I was in awe over her talent, and straight away felt a connection to how she captured such pure and beautiful moments. I knew after meeting her that she would one day be my wedding photographer! Our wedding day was everything that I could of ever asked for. It was such a incredible day with so much love and beauty. Natalie absolutely blew my already very high expectations out of the water. She is so good at what she does. Natalie made taking all of our photos so much fun. She knew when to allow us to have space and be in the moment, and when to direct and take charge. You want to be able to get caught up in the moment on your wedding day and not have to be the one worrying about who to take photos with or what needs to be captured next. She did such a wonderful job at making sure we got all the shots we needed, but allowing us to enjoy and have fun with all of them. From standing on chairs, to driving up hills, to dancing with us on the dance floor Natalie did whatever it took to get the most raw and sincere footage of our most special day. My husband and I cry every time we look through our wedding album and that is a huge thanks to Natalie Schutt Photography.

Hi, I’m Teri! I’m a Chicago based Wedding Photographer. I approach my photography as an artistic craft. I strive to create images that are emotional and striking. My life’s work is photographing people’s most joyous moments—preserving feelings and details that may otherwise be lost. I am obsessed with creating playful compositions, capturing fleeting moments that make the most treasured memories come alive again. The couples I work with place immense trust in me and it is my honor to create art for them.

Teri B was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Teri's communication style throughout the planning process was professional, knowledgeable and made us feel at ease every step of the way. She is the sweetest person, and her experience really shines through in your conversations with her because she knows which shots to recommend and fight for. On the big day, Teri helped guide us to capture all the right moments while making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She helped us narrow down our shot list to strike the right balance so we captured everything we wanted to, but also not make the day feel overly posed and over manufactured. The end result is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Teri managed to encapsulate all the nostalgic, heartwarming and stunning details of our wedding in a way that only she could do. The photos tell our story beautifully. We are completely in love with our photos so far and can't wait to relive our special day through Teri's artistic eye. We are still waiting on the full set, but our sneak peeks are already so amazing. It brings a tear to my eye when I look at them not only because I think fondly of my wedding day, but also because her level of artistry evokes in me a profound sense of wonder and respect for her work. If you're looking for a photographer who can capture the essence of your wedding through stunning, emotional images, I highly recommend connecting with Teri B.

Hey! My name is Kimberly and I'm so glad you made it! I am your personal hype girl! A lover of chocolate, adventure, and family time. I am very outdoorsy and pull inspiration from not just my subject but my surroundings. I have studied lighting, color theory, and posing to fully optimize my surroundings and help your personality and beauty shine through. I am body positive and believe everyone is unique and beautiful! My goal is to capture what makes you and your spouse special. I love candid photos that capture emotions and mix classical poses between them for a timeless gallery feel.

Shutter & Sound

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Monte Rio, 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.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

  • Serves Monte Rio, CA

Jessica Hill Photography is an award-winning photographer with over 15 years of experience delivering heartfelt and honest moments through their lens. Based in Portland, Oregon she has documented marriages across the Pacific Northwest, highlighting the inspiring power of love in all forms.

Jessica is truly incredible. Her photographs speak for themselves, and her eye and ability to capture a moment is unmatched. Her artistry is apparent in every photo she takes. However, it's the command she has while doing the photo shoots, the control of the room and her subjects, her ability to see things others would miss (a wrinkled shirt, a misplaced tie, the perfect placement of dress), and her professionalism that takes everything she does to the next level. She gets our highest recommendation and complete trust and belief that she is, without a doubt, the most incredible photographer you could find to capture any moment in your life.

Tiffany specializes in creating the exceptional luxury of an alluring yet cultivated experience while capturing connection and beauty. She draws from over ten years in the wedding photography industry to capture authentic luminous love stories that reflect not only the beauty in a moment but the feeling.

Tiffany and her team were AMAZING! From the moment we contacted her, Tiffany was professional, helpful and easy to talk to. Figuring everything out for my wedding was all a learning experience and she helped me out so much during the process. During our engagement session, we got to know Tiffany better and once we saw the photos she took, we knew we had made the right choice. We refined the timeline (a lot) and she was available for questions or concerns when I had them. We had the most amazing wedding day, thanks to Tiffany, Alyssa and Brittany. They helped us figure out the best places, and how, to pose and made my husband and I feel super comfortable the whole time. Tiffany captured shots in a way that takes me right back to that moment and I'll cherish them forever. All the photos we got back were fantastic, and I would recommend Tiffany to anybody who needs photos of anything!

Ditto Dianto Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Monte Rio, CA

I'm a fine art wedding photographer based in Northern California and beyond. After discovering my love for photography, I always knew I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. I am so fortunate to call this my job for over five years! My photography work often describe as romantic, soft, bright and natural that lend itself from my love of film look and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two Tabbies. I would absolutely love to get to know you and be your photographer!

Ditto and his assistant showed up early and started taking amazing photos right off the bat. The pre-wedding communication was timely. He was easy to work with and brought calm energy to a day when stress can permeate the fun out of it. We immediately received a high volume, beautiful sneak peak the evening after the wedding which was a fun surprise and a great way to start our honeymoon admiring the gorgeous photos. If you are considering Ditto Diante Photography for your wedding, I would highly recommend him.

Trisha puts her heart and soul into this business. She loves bringing out the best in people, making them feel comfortable, and showing them how absolutely perfect their own little story is in this big ole busy world. She craves adventure, loves to travel and believes the prettiest pictures are captured on film because they are real and perfectly imperfect. She can't decide if she wants to be an adventure photographer or a fine art wedding photographer so she combines the two styles and makes it her own.

Trisha is committed to providing an incredible Xsperience with AMAZING photos! She's so kind and patient which makes you feel comfortable to be yourself. Highly recommend Xsperience Photography!!!

Halcyon Echo 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Monte Rio, CA

The greek myth from which the phrase “halcyon days” is derived, is one of great love ending in a time of joy and calm. A euphoric recollection of the past and an optimistic reverence for the future. Echo denotes a feeling of resonance and return. Because our memories and dreams are almost never linear-they are organic-abstracted from reality and, often, largely defined by touch, scent and, of course, sight. My hope is to create imagery that will reflect the deepest of fully felt emotion from this day, back to you. Working with analog & digital processes from Denver, Colorado.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Karly! She was more than helpful when it came to all of our photography needs. She worked with our crazy schedule while running around Yosemite National Park. She delivered when it came to final edits. Make sure you get the extra final edits, trust me you will want all of them! Thank you a million times for making our special day the MOST special!

Choosing Anna & Vitaly to document our wedding was the best decision we made in this process. They took the vision we had, and enhanced it even further. There are many photographers/videographers who can deliver solid content, but it really takes a special team to be able to capture a certain "mood" and "aesthetic." We truly appreciate their responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile. The quality of their work really speaks for itself (especially when you have multiple friends who inquire about the team behind our wedding photos!)

  • Serves Monte Rio, CA

I've always had a passion for art and beauty. Growing up being an artist and wanting to be a cartoonist turned into a film degree and the beginning of Forevermore Films in 2003. Since then we have grown as one of Utah's best wedding options in both photography and videography. We have a small team of 3 of use working together to ensure we capture everything. I have a wife and 5 kids and choose to live in a more rural part of Utah and travel to all my weddings.

Forevermore films is so easy to work with. Their team is so friendly and gives you their best. We can't even imagine using someone else for our wedding. Pictures and video from our wedding were very important to us because they are the memories that you take with you after the big day. Forevermore not only captured those special moments beautifully, but the team made those memories even more enjoyable. We recommend them to all of our friends and family, and plan on using them for future shoots as our family grows.
