  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Murrieta, CA

Elise is a wedding photographer based in Southern California whose style is candid and inspiring, with heeps of romantic photojournalism. Experienced in intimate weddings, destination weddings and elopements, she is available for world travel wherever love may take her.

It’s was clear to me from the time Elise arrived that she understood our vision and was the consummate professional as she helped usher us thru our wedding day. Of course there were “hiccups” in or schedule… pre-wedding prep took much longer than we anticipated but Elise helped get us back on track and postponed photos that she could shoot after our wedding. Our first look was most important to us. All our photos were delivered on time and told our wedding story like fine art. Book Elise and know you’re getting a professional photographer who has mastered her craft, enjoys her work and knows how to make you feel at ease on your big day!

Vivian Chen Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Murrieta, CA

My style is natural and photojournalistic. I love capturing unscripted moments because those are the type of photos that tell a richer story of your day. Working with me means nothing overly posed, nothing awkward, nothing that doesn't feel like YOU. While we'll spend some time doing portraits, my priority is for you to be present and enjoy your wedding day. I like to shoot discreetly with an emphasis on candids so from the moment you first see each other to that last hilarious toast, you’ll be relaxed and focused on one another and not even noticed I’m there.

My musical group, Bay Area Strings, has performed at several weddings and receptions where Vivian was the photographer. Her event work is unobtrusive, taking great photographs without anyone noticing! We have ended up using several of her candid photographs of our string players, as she has a great eye for composition and color, with a modern and artistic style that still focuses on personality of the subjects. I have also noticed that her turnaround time to provide high-quality photos to the client and vendors is very fast compared to many others we have worked with.

Cate Batchelor Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Murrieta, CA

Fueled by equal parts caffeine and passion, I spend my days capturing images that make you stop, smile and wish that time would slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in photographs you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the back patio. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

Cate has been a longtime event photographer for me, and I trust her implicitly with my events. We have a wonderful working relationship and I never worry whether my client's vision or my designs for them will be well represented, and they are flawlessly done. My business would not be as successful as it is if I didn't have her to document what I do and what I can offer to my clients. What I love in particular is her talent for documenting finer details, things that are often overlooked in the larger event scale. I truly appreciate all of her work and can't imagine not having her on my go-to list of product and client services.

It me! I am your new third wheel, your new childhood friend, your new girl behind the camera! I've been doing this whole living my dream thing for 7 years now and I couldn't be happier! It all started one fall summer night at winters end... totally kidding one day I just said "F-THIS! Photography makes me unbelievably happy, Let's do this!" But my joy is not only from photographing love. It's also because I married the most amazing man on this planet. Leonard is my best friend of 10 years and husband for 7! I still dream about our wedding day and feel like I am always living in that wedding day happiness.

Cindy was a dream photographer to have. She’s so caring, responsive and professional. We had a couple mishaps with the cake and first dance but Cindy knew what to do to fill in the time and what to shift on our timeline which put me at ease on our big day! I would recommend Cindy to everyone because she will honestly be the best photographer you could hire. She checks all the boxes plus her photos, don’t even get me started, I never felt so pretty in life! She captured treasure moments that’ll last forever!

Maine Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer serving couples + families with an experience that makes them leave feeling embraced with love. Providing both Photo + Video to New England + Abroad. At Tay Sikes Photo, we make you feel extra loved by those around you, and extra gorgeous in every photo we capture.

I can’t say enough good things about Taylor! Not only is she my wonderful friend, but I have been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of her talent, as she’s taken beautiful and I mean BEAUTIFUL photos of me throughout my entire pregnancy. As a photographer myself this is no easy task, but Taylor has a gift for setting people at ease, making them feel beautiful and creating truly unique shots. Not only have I been the subject of her work, but I’ve also been able to work with her on weddings and I can truly say there is no one I would rather work with. Taylor is so good at catching those beautiful moments as they unfold (the first kiss, the first look) but also the inbetween moments (aunt Mary hugging your cousin at cocktail hour and your little niece break dancing on the dance floor). Her editing is timeless and who she is as a person just makes you want to go back for every important life event. I highly recommend Taylor for all your life moments!

Wild Elegance

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Murrieta, CA

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

A wedding day takes hours, days and sometimes years to plan and then that day goes by faster than a speeding bullet! But thanks to 4ever-Moore my day was beautifully captured and will last a lifetime. Moments that I didn’t remember happening were captured and brings joy to my husband and I every time we look at them. It was the little things that he brought to life that made it all worth it! Bryce was very patient with us and relieved me of the anxiety that every bride has on that day relating to smile, poise, perfect angles and looking fat! It was his eye for detail that made my husband realize that all his favorites were significantly displayed throughout the day. Thank you 4ever-Moore for capturing my day!

I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer specializing in natural, warm, true-to-life photography. My business isn't just about photos, it's about people. It's not about transactions, it's about relationships. And it's not about one day, it's about a lifetime. At my core, I believe no moment is too mundane to capture, no day too average to celebrate.

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.

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.

At Taylor Made Photography, we don't just capture images—we create unforgettable experiences. Based in the vibrant heart of Las Vegas, our passion is turning your special moments into timeless stories. Whether it's an adventurous elopement in the Valley of Fire, a laid-back wedding at the Little White Chapel, or an intimate engagement session in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District, we’re here to make every moment count.

We hired Heather to take photographs of our vow renewal for our tenth wedding anniversary. Heather was outstanding from the minute I contacted her. She was always available to answer questions, happily recommended other vendors and even picked up champagne, doughnuts and sparklers for our day. We are not the kind of people that like to be photographed so once the day drew closer we started to get slightly nervous but we didn’t need to be. Heather was great at making us feel comfortable, we laughed so much! Heather was also amazing with our two young daughters. We had the most amazing experience, we are still waiting for our full set of pictures but the sneak peaks were absolutely beautiful so had to come on and leave a review. Thank you Heather x

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.

June of 2012. Just two months after my mom was critically injured and hospitalized. I began using my camera as an emotional outlet. I started taking portraits for family and friends, and eventually, photographed a courthouse wedding. As time went on, it hit me: These photos are freaking important! And I knew from personal experience that these moments, & the people in them, aren't going to be here forever. That camera became so much more than an outlet. It gave me purpose. And now I see my job as an act of service to you. I'm honored to use my talents and skills to deliver what really matters: TANGIBLE MEMORIES OF YOU & THE ONES YOU LOVE

Alyssa was an absolute dream to work with!!She is incredibly easy to get along with and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed on the big day. The pictures came out better than I could’ve imagined, she captured everything perfectly!

Your wedding or elopement day is full of emotions and I'll be right there to capture them all. I balance a fine line of guidance and direction for posed and spontaneous moments throughout the day.

The quality of her work is soft, natural, whimsical, and woodsy, with a wonderful candid style that captured all the special moments of our shoots . For our engagement session, Aleena made my husband and I feel completely at ease, even though we had never had professional photos taken before. She took the time to make the session feel personal and special, resulting in beautiful candid shots. We've continued to work with Aleena for family photos over the years, and she always delivers stunning, memorable images.

I love freezing wedding days. I stay true to color, but add in a little warmth. I love documenting the day and getting in all the emotions. My favorite part of the entire day- grooms reaction to either his bride walking down the aisle or that first look. I'm also a sucker for dad first looks. Details are also so important, it's one of the biggest day of your lives and getting it all photographed is so very important!

Ashley was pure joy to work with. She was professional and easy going while still making sure everything was orderly. My husband does not like his photo taken and he was relaxed and at ease the whole time. Our gallery came back so quickly and I still tear up at the quality of our photos! We are so thankful for her and all the beautiful memories she captured.

Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Murrieta, CA

Although Tori lives on the east coast, her art & lifestyle is largely inspired by the west coast. Tori grew up just outside Los Angeles and her art reflects the airy, relaxed and purposeful atmosphere that exists in the Golden State. The Tori Parker team intends for their photos to reflect a similar air: relaxed but with a powerful undertone of golden hour hues and genuine joy. When Tori isn't taking photos or managing her amazing team of associate photoghers, she enjoys intentional time with Jesus, watching New Girl with her husband, being outdoors with her dogs, and eating the spiciest thing on the menu.

Tori is beyond easy to work with, fun, personable, and professional. She made the time leading up to the wedding easy and chill, and was very helpful in figuring out the timeline of our day and all other details. She also got us 100 previews within days after our wedding!

Welcome friends!!! If you are looking for an adventurous, romantic, and creative photographer in Orange County, LA or anywhere world wide, you have landed in the right place! I have been in the wedding industry exclusively photographing engagements, Elopements, and weddings for over 13 years, photographing 700+ weddings in California, and around the country. I specialize in adventurous, romantic, and photojournalistic photography, perfect for the creative soul, and wild hearts!

Kay creates magic. She is absolutely amazing! We were thrilled to work with her for both our engagement and wedding photos. She is super professional, friendly, fun and such a pleasure to collaborate with. It is clear to see the care and dedication she puts into her work and into the relationships with her clients. She was a HUGE advocate for us on the day of our wedding to ensure we got photos we wanted when we wanted them. During our time with her, she guided us every step of the way, and made us both feel so comfortable. We will forever be grateful for the beautiful moments Kay captured of our special day. I vividly remember several candid moments during our wedding & ceremony where I thought to myself "I would love to keep a snapshot of this memory forever." When we got our photos back, I was brought to tears of joy, as Kay captured those exact candid moments and they were even more beautiful than I remembered. I will also say, when you get your photos back, they are ALL just so amazing, you are definitely going to have a hard time narrowing down your favorites!

Elyana Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Murrieta, CA

I believe the best photos occur when... artistry and intentionality meet moments of heartfelt connection. I'll guide you towards the dreamiest light and offer unobtrusive direction that lends to natural movements and sincere emotion. I also slow things down and help re-center everyone, creating space for beautiful moments to unfold, like mom fluffing your veil, dad's expression when he sees you all dressed up, and fleeting looks between you and your partner.

I cannot recommend Elyana enough! I wanted dreamy photos that were candid-esque so I got really excited when I came across her website. I honestly had no idea what to expect when working with a professional photographer but her service was exceptional. She's super friendly, easy-going, efficient, and communicative. Everything went unbelievably smoothly. We had Elyana for 2 hours during our elopement and she made it so fun and easy to be in front of a camera. She provided a lot of much-needed direction and our session went by so quickly and smoothly. She even helped grab my veil when I forgot it in my suite! I'm not photogenic so I was nervous about looking like a total derp after many wonderful vendors had put so much work into my hair, makeup, dress, and florals... But her artistic sense and prompting really made for some amazing pictures. She works fast! Sneak peeks and full gallery were received well before their promise dates. Granted, it probably helped that we only had a 2 hour elopement session, but the speedy turnaround time is super appreciated nonetheless. The one struggle I have from working with her is trying to pick which beautiful images will be displayed in our home. Thank you so much for these photos that we will cherish forever!

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

We had the best experience working with Nick (and Mackenzie) on our big day. I cannot recommend Nick Cruz Photography enough! All of our photos are so beautiful and exceeded our (high) expectations. We could not have asked for better photos or a better photographer. Getting married during COVID meant a lot of last-minute changes in plans and Nick was so supportive and willing to work with us to make sure we captured all aspects of the day safely. And he is so personable - we had a total of 13 people at our wedding, so it was a very small group, all immediate family, but he fit right in! He was super organized and had a shot list to make sure we didn't miss any typical wedding photos. His website for photo delivery makes it so easy to view/download photos and he got us some sneak peaks super fast. Overall, we had such a great experience with Nick and plan to use him for all other big life events that require photography! (He also did our engagement - those photos were amazing too! He worked with my husband to pop out of the trees and capture the actual proposal.)

Hi loves! I’m Amanda, a San Diego based traveling photographer devoted to documenting romantic wedding moments and preserving the essence of the big day with imagery. I absolutely love having fun with my couples and getting them comfortable in being exactly who they are to capture in images! I have been a photographer for 10+ years and have fallen in love with being the person who showcases a couple’s love through creative imagery. I’ll be your biggest hype man, get you laughing with your partner and capture every emotional moment that should never be forgotten!

Amanda and KC were amazing! My fiancé and I were hesitant to take engagement photos at all—we are both awkward and don’t pose well for photos. Amanda and KC were very relaxed, casual and FUN! They made us laugh the entire time and everything felt so easy & comfortable. AND THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL! First, we don’t look awkward (big win). And second, the settings/backdrops/lighting they chose were exactly what we were looking for. Great experience and would highly recommend for anyone looking for engagement photos.

Hi! I'm Alex, a wedding photographer based out of Milwaukee, WI! I've been a photographer since 2017 and have fallen absolutely in love with capturing love stories! When I'm not behind the camera, you can likely find me traveling (I'm in Arizona a lot), snuggled up at home with my pups, or trying local coffee shops!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Alex as our wedding photographer, and I can't say enough wonderful things about her! From the moment we first met her, she radiated warmth and professionalism. Alex's talent behind the camera is truly remarkable. She has a unique ability to capture the most candid and heartwarming moments, turning them into stunning works of art. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and every photo she took seemed to tell a story. On the day of the wedding, Alex was an absolute joy to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable and at ease, and her positive energy was infectious. She was able to effortlessly blend into the background, capturing all the intimate moments without ever feeling intrusive. Not only is Alex incredibly talented, but she is also incredibly dedicated to her craft. She went above and beyond to ensure that we got the most beautiful wedding photos. She scouted out the perfect locations, worked tirelessly to capture the best lighting, and was willing to travel to us to get the shots we dreamed of. The final photos exceeded our expectations in every way. They were breathtakingly beautiful and brought tears to our eyes as we relived our special day through Alex's lens. She managed to capture the love, joy, and emotion of the day in every shot, and for that, we are forever grateful. If you're looking for a wedding or engagement photographer who is not only talented but also a pleasure to work with, Alex is the one. She is a true artist, and we feel so lucky to have had her as our photographer. Thank you, Alex, for capturing our day so beautifully!

De La Rosa Wedding Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,250
  • Serves Murrieta, CA

MODERN ROMANCE DOCUMENTED EXCEPTIONALLY Named after my mother Ana Rosa, De La Rosa strives to help you slow down, be present and be yourselves on your wedding day. We believe being present on your wedding day will bring out the best in you and your partner. Giving an authentic and fun experience while having a timeless and editorial look.

Sebastian was a huge part of our wedding day and the planning process. From the moment we met him a year before our wedding day for our engagement photos, we knew we picked the right photographer for us. We fell in love with his quality of work, work ethic, and personality. He coached us with posing, and we were comfortable taking his direction. The vision he has comes to life candidly in the photos, and after three photo sessions with him, I cannot pick a favorite because they're all uniquely beautiful. Our first session was our engagement session, which I wanted to do on a boat in the Keys because it's a special place and hobby for us so I thought it would be a personal touch and photos we could cherish forever. He was all about the idea and didn't nickel and dime us, which often happens as you plan this very personal event. I prioritized finding vendors who truly love what they do and are invested in their couple, not just the event, and Sebastian is just that! I am forever grateful to my planner for connecting me to him, and I hope to work with him for many more life moments.

I’m a New York raised / Alaska braised 5’0″ multi-passionate, photographer and filmmaker – I can appreciate the grit of a city, but I also have a small-town heart. I’m layers of hard work, deep empathy, and a Roseanne cackle-laugh. I’m all about having my cake, eating it too, and sharing some with you. I believe in celebrating family & friends, NY pizza, actin’ a fool, editing my photos to candid perfection (mostly this), and skipping the small talk.

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!)

We were really happy to work with Norbert, he was always responsive, flexible and very attentive to our questions. He was very professional and friendly to us at all times. Plus, he gave us some great recommendations around the area that we hadn't even heard of! We have never really had pictures taken of us before in a romantic setting by a professional before, that alone was pretty intimidating for us. Norbert made the entire photo experience a lot less intimidating for us to go through, the pictures came out perfect in the end! Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely recommend him to anyone marrying in the future in need of a photographer.

I am a creative visionary, conceiving grand visions and bringing them to life with authenticity and bravery. I create images that take you right back to your special day, capturing the ephemeral nature of time and showing you in all your glorious light.

Pamela recently took my stepdaughter’s senior photos, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the start, Pamela was super easy to work with—she had great ideas and knew just where to take us to get some amazing shots. We went from the beach to some really cool spots in downtown Oceanside, and each location brought out a different side of my stepdaughter’s personality. Pamela made the whole experience fun and relaxed, which really helped her feel at ease in front of the camera. The photos came back so fast, and they’re absolutely fantastic! If you’re looking for a photographer who’s talented, creative, and just gets it, Pamela is your go-to. We’re thrilled with the photos and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks, Pamela, for making this such a memorable milestone for us!

We are so lucky that May was available to capture us at the start of our life together. Because our civil ceremony started at 8am, May arrived at 7:30am with donuts and a smile. She’s incredibly thoughtful! I was a little nervous about coming off natural in pictures, but her gentle and sweet demeanor instantly put us at ease. Everything we did felt very natural to us and she captured everything we felt that day so perfectly. We love our pictures so much we can’t stop looking at them! We really couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can not recommend her enough!

We hired Virginie at the recommendation of our wedding planners at Matthew Robbins Design. Working with Virginie was an absolute dream - we first met a few months before our wedding, where we explained our vision, what we hoped for in terms of photography, and how the day would run. She stayed with us for hours, talking through ideas, showing us ideas and inspiration. We walked away so grateful to be working with her. Flash forward a few months to our wedding day, and I was so thrilled to see Virginie's face as I was getting ready. She is such a beam of energy, support and goodness - exactly what you want on your wedding day! She creative directed us so that we felt relaxed and happy, but knew that we were getting beautiful images. She captured EVERY. BEAUTIFUL. DETAIL of our wedding day - from the beautiful first look, to images with our family and friends, our ceremony and then those crazy/fun/wild dance floor pictures. We are over a year out from our wedding and still find ourselves poring over our wedding photos at least once a week. They are such a beautiful reminder of the amazing, special day we had, and it would not have been possible without Virginie. We were SO lucky to work with her and recommend her without hesitation. She is so talented and just a wonderful, wonderful human. We can't wait to work with her again!

From the minute we met with Adrienne Gunde, I knew we had to have her take our engagement and wedding photos!! She was so easy to talk to, enthusiastic about our ideas, and made the process so fun! We did our engagement photos with her at Old Town Pasadena and she captured a shot for us that made me feel like we were in a magazine shoot! It was my husband lifting me up in the middle of the intersection. I literally blew it up and had it framed once we received it! She was patient and made it such a memorable experience. The photos she took of our wedding…. I have made photo books for the grandparents and I blown up onto canvas and framed photos around our home, and we still look at them and reminisce of that magical day! (This was 7 years ago… and still some of my favorite photos to look at!) I highly recommend Adrienne because she will not only capture the most beautiful photos, she will make the experience an enjoyable one.

I love the love!! I am a hopeful romantic! I channel that when shooting weddings, elopements and engagement shoots. I look for the small gestures between you two while you interact, the way you look at one another in utter comfort and confidence, the way you laugh and crack each other up! I love observing how couples embrace and find each other's nooks. This is your person, the one that you can be your complete self with, how cool is that! It sounds corny, but being a wedding and elopement photographer really is a privilege.

Melissa did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! She is so talented at finding great shots, working with the lighting, and keeping things fun! She was extremely easy to work with, and so flexible when changes happened. She also made sure to check out locations in advance which helped a lot in saving time on the day. She is great at keeping timelines and fitting everything in... and made sure we got photos with everyone there. The pictures came out so beautiful!!! It’s absolutely worth hiring the right photographer because the day goes by so fast, but pictures last forever! We will cherish our wedding and engagement photos for years to come. Thanks for making it such a special and memorable time for us. We highly recommend Melissa!
