I've always had a love for color and light, and a passion for landscapes and people. Ever since highschool and into college photography was just something that, no pun intended, caught my eye. I've been shooting weddings for 6 years now and there's nothing Id rather be doing. I'm married to the love of my life Rachel, sandwiches are my favorite food and I love long walks on the beach. Seriously I do :)

Dylan photographed our wedding at the Madonna Inn and did such a great job! We ended up with so many beautiful pictures that we could never decide which are our favorites and practically none of our friends were able to make it through the entire wedding album that we shared. He chatted with us in advance by phone, to go over all the details; and had plenty of good ideas for photo opportunities around the property on that day. Very happy with our choice to book Dylan on Zola!

We worked with Russ for our wedding and engagement photos and we love his work! Russ was on the recommended list for our venue, and after checking out his portfolio we knew we had to reach out to him. After an initial consult, we chose to go with Russ. We first met Russ at our engagement shoot. We are both relatively shy and uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Russ made us feel at ease. We love our engagement photos and love our wedding photos even more. Russ was so easy to work with on the wedding day - he was on time, communicative, and helpful. He kept our family photos moving and helped organize guests for photos. Our guests even commented on how great Russ was at the wedding. He delivered a (very large) sneak peek within just a few days of the wedding. Overall, Russ is a great guy and an amazing photographer. We would highly recommend Russ to anyone looking for an engagement/wedding photographer!

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

Working with Sarah was enjoyable and easy! As someone who usually does not like taking photos, Sarah made the process easy and comfortable. She got all the shots we had discussed in advance and captured every special moment.

Your experience with me starts long before you step in front of my lens. I take the time and energy to get to know you & your story, so that I can capture the parts of your relationship that are authentically YOU. So that you can look back on the photos from this season of life, and feel like you're right back in that moment, feeling those same feels. To me, a perfectly posed & still photograph doesn't capture a feeling the way that a candid one can. I direct my couples to create images that are full of movement and those intimate in-between moments.

I knew I was in great hands with Shelby the moment we first met! Working with Shelby as a fellow vendor has been nothing short of a seamless experience. She loves connecting with her couples on a personal level and makes her shoots interactive so that the couples feel comfortable and confident on camera. She has little tricks up her sleeve that creates super candid moments!! I trust her fully when I recommend her as a planner. Her attention to detail and eye for the perfect lighting make photographing with Shelby a breeze. Hire Shelby to photograph your wedding, maternity shoot, branding shoot, and more! She is a superstar!

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.

As a wedding photographer, my connection to my couples is more important to me than anything else. Serving couples getting married in dreamy wedding locations, whether it’s a vineyard in Carmel Valley or a beach wedding in Monterey, fills my heart with so much joy. It’s always a thrill to return to venues I love, but with nearly 100 weddings in my portfolio, it still surprises me how different each and every wedding day truly is.

Ashley Guice Creative is a Phoenix-based luxury wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of human connection. Since 2017, Ashley Guice has been creating stunning images that blend artistic flair with genuine emotion. With over seven years of experience in photography and a decade-long background in the arts, she brings a unique perspective to every event she covers.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Ashley! From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought our vision to life, capturing every moment beautifully. We had an unfortunate cancellation of our original venue, and with our new venue having a completely different look, Ashley was a great thought partner in scouting locations and helping us achieve the look and feel in our photos that we were going for. Despite the challenges of a venue change and the usual wedding planning craziness, Ashley remained positive, resourceful, and was also just down right fun to work with! Ashley is a true artist, dedicated to the artful execution of every detail. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or ordinary—she took the time to understand our vision and how we wanted to remember the day and then actualized it through her artistic lens. I wanted something artful, chic, and elevated but also real, candid, and documentary-style—and Ashley delivered exactly that. She was also fantastic at understanding how we wanted to be photographed throughout the day. More than anything, she made sure our enjoyment of the day was a priority over just "getting the perfect shot," which was crucial for us. We were able to enjoy every moment, and the photos capture that perfectly. Her team was amazing, too! We got to work with two of her assistant photographers, and they were just as supportive and friendly as Ashley. We would recommend AGC to any couple looking for a photography team who is dedicated to capturing the essence of your wedding in a way that feels unique, personal, and meaningful. - L & L

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.

Rafael Garcia Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Montecito, CA

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, I’m Stacie! After initially going to a photography school for architectural photography, I quickly learned I had a passion for human connection and a natural ability for making people feel at ease. Once I photographed my first wedding I was smitten. Now over a decade later I still absolutely love what I do. I am passionate about creating beautiful photographs that are sincere, meaningful, full of emotion, and feel like you. I want you to be able to look back on your wedding photographs year after year and remember all the emotions - the laughter, the tears of joy, and the love.

I cannot even begin to describe how incredible of a job Stacie did for our engagement & wedding photos! Not only is she extremely talented and professional when it comes to photography, she is also an incredible person inside and out. My husband and I are somewhat shy when it comes to having our pictures taken but Stacie made us feel comfortable and confident. Your wedding photos are something you’ll cherish forever, so it was important to me and my husband that we prioritized a good photographer and Stacie far exceeded that expectation. We have so many amazing photos of not only just ourselves but everyone at our wedding which is special to us. We highly recommend Stacie with Vitae Weddings!!

Cheers, you did it! You went from wildly in-love to newly engaged. It’s such a special time in life and you want to capture every fleeting moment. Your wedding photographer will be with you during some of your most cherished moments. So, finding someone with a personality that brings out the best in yours is essential. This is the part where we become fast friends. There is something so intimate and longstanding about being by someone’s side on their wedding day, and I can’t get enough of that feeling.

Sasha ha a beautiful body of work, however what sets her apart is her aptitude for connecting with clients and creating an environment in which perfect moments are made and captured. Her bright personality is encouraging and grounding, and her direction creates images the speak for themselves.

Caitlin and the team did an unbelievable job on our engagement video. The shoot itself was a really fun experience, with the videographer making us feel extra comfortable and fading into the background when needed. And then the final product... blew us away. Amazing cinematography and editing, A Shot of Love Films made us feel like movie stars. Highly recommended for any of their services!

Garrett Saler Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Montecito, CA

As your wedding photographer, a significant part of my role is to consider the fine art aspects of the galleries I create. Things like choosing the best light to fall over your wedding gown, balancing compositions, blending color, and layering textures to create dynamic and beautiful images. But it's much bigger than that. Photographs tell our stories, reveal emotion in ways that words can't, and offer the gift of visual legacy. An artfully told story transcends time. Beautiful photographs require exceptional artists. And you deserve exceptional art.

Awarded Best of Zola
Garrett worked with us on a wedding at Lost Mission, and he was an absolute joy to work with. Extremely professional, organized, and a talented photographer. Garrett understood the importance of our wedding day timeline, and we worked together extremely well. He was very communicative, and was receptive to changes and just the overall ebs and flows of a wedding. We LOVED the photography! Very crisp, clean, and high-end. With Garrett you are not only booking a talented photographer, but also a great vendor to work with. Book Garrett!

For the romantic explorers who are planning their intimate wedding in California, I am a California-raised, golden-coast obsessed, documentary-style wedding photographer who can’t get enough of the beautiful outdoor venues this state has to offer. From ocean low to mountain high, my bags are packed and I’m on my way to capture your love story in the most beautiful place in the world.

Kait was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! From our very first email exchange, Kait made me feel so special and supported! Her communication, in general, is prompt, upbeat and incredibly helpful as you plan. Her enthusiasm and excitement for our special day was infectious and she made the planning process so much more joyful. Kait made me feel like she was a close friend who I could lean on without ever having met her! On the wedding day itself, her calm and flexible approach helped us feel at ease, and the resulting photos are simply beautiful, with great angles and lighting that made me feel beautiful and a camera shy groom shine. She got us sneak peaks that we LOVED and poured over with in less than 12 hours! We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of Kait's work, and we highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, caring photographer who is truly dedicated to making their wedding day unforgettable.

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!
