I started shooting photos and video in Greece, and since moving to the US, I have dedicated myself to shooting weddings, elopements and engagements. I love being able to capture the love that my couples have for each other and the unique energy each couple has. I am always down to shoot in new locations and find the best place for my shoots!

Enea and Hailey were fantastic to work with!! I was extremely happy with how our engagement photos turned out. On our wedding day, they were prompt and ready to go. Hailey remembered all the specific shots that I wanted to get and was flexible with timing and getting extra shots that the family requested. The pictures are absolutely stunning. The video was just as incredible. The shots they got, the audio, the music, was all edited so beautifully. I have received so many compliments on how amazing the video and pictures turned out. They captured every aspect of our day that I hoped for and then some. I would recommend them to everyone :)

From the moment we started planning our wedding, Anna and the team at Hey Honey Photography were an absolute joy to work with. She was an excellent communicator even through COVID and our wedding date shifting multiple times. We could not be happier with our wedding photos, we are absolutely obsessed! All of our images came out so beautiful, Anna captured the day even better than we imagined. She not only photographed every detail, she also surprised us with a very sweet card and a sneak peek of our photos with some beautiful polaroids she took that brought us to tears. We absolutely loved working with Anna, she was very professional, sweet, and her work is amazing. We also used her services for our engagement photos and they came out beautifully as well.

Natalie and Pedro are the absolute best!! Not only are they both so kind, friendly, and personable, but so professional, patient, and organized. From the start of the planning process, I felt at ease with Natalie. I appreciate the fast communication, along with how open and upfront she is about everything, I really didnt have to ask her any questions. I am not photogenic at all lol and was so nervous about taking photos, but they made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I appreciated the directions they gave and how my husband and I could be silly and have a fun time whiIe taking pictures. I highly recommend having both Natalie and Pedro, you can never go wrong with 2 photographers! I got my sneak peeks yesterday and I am in total awe of the photos, I literally cried at how stunning they are. I cannot wait to see them all. You want Natalie and Pedro to capture your special day. Thank you both SO much!! here are engagement and wedding photos.

Carly is a long time family friend so it was a no-brainer to have her be a part of our special day, but she delivered far above our expectations! We couldn't imagine our wedding day without her, and have gone back to her for every family photo, maternity shoot, and Christmas card since. She managed to get both the traditional bridal party shots and candids that told the whole story of our wedding. If we had to redo our day all over again, we wouldn't have changed a thing about working with Carly!!

In 2020, I took a leap and left my 9-to-5 job to pursue my passion for photography full-time. Now, as a dedicated wedding and lifestyle photographer, I’m thrilled to capture the special moments that mean the most to you. I take pride in delivering high-quality photos and genuinely enjoy being part of your big day. Based in Aptos, I also serve the surrounding areas of the Monterey Bay region, and I’m always ready to travel wherever your love story takes us!

Awarded Best of Zola
Deanna was truly the most amazing photographer for our wedding! Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos before, and to be honest, we’re both pretty awkward and camera-shy. But from the moment we booked her, she made the whole experience feel effortless. She even offered an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of it, we were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out—far beyond what we had imagined! On the wedding day, Deanna was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and nerves. Her ability to guide us through poses felt so natural—never forced or uncomfortable. She has such an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments, and the photos reflect that in every frame. Deanna didn’t just document our wedding; she became a friend along the way. I can’t express how much we appreciate her talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’re already looking forward to working with her again for future milestones and photo sessions. Thank you, Deanna, for capturing our special day so perfectly—we couldn’t have asked for more!

Aladdin Films made our wedding day absolutely enchanting! My cousin got married and used their service, I’ve never seen a more passionate person when she described their service. She was 100% correct. They went above and beyond with customer service and captured our wedding in a way that brings us back to our special day every time we look at our pictures and videos. I don’t know how, because I’m not a photographer, but they’ve managed to shoot the most special and important moments of our wedding day from so many different angles, and each of those photos can be easily put in a frame or on a canvas. That’s what I did actually. It was quite difficult to decide which photo to put on canvas because there were so many of them. We booked them for 8 hours, and they gave us more than 1200 photos, and we were left absolutely speechless. My advice to all couples out there is don’t think twice and book them as soon as you can.

Memo really came to the rescue when we had originally booked with a studio that flaked two days prior to the wedding. Memo was extremely patient and understanding of our situation and offered us a very generous and flexible rate to accommodate us with such short notice. He maintained a positive attitude during the whole event even when the circumstances were not ideal. Memo is very professional and friendly, you can tell he is passionate about his work.

About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

I've been photographing weddings for over 10 years now and love it more than ever. What I love about photography and especially wedding photography is how I’m able to connect with myself and others. I believe that your soul knows when it’s onto something good. Brings a new meaning to the term “soulmate” doesn’t it? That’s why I’m so passionate about creating art with you and your loved ones in mind.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer your search is over! Alyssa was the best photographer we could have ever chosen for our wedding and I hope to have her take all of our future family photos. Alyssa did our engagement photos at Sauguaro Lake, a photo shoot with my Mom's wedding dress, our civil ceremony at the courthouse, and our wedding day in Puerto Vallarta. Every single photo she took turned out so beautiful, artistically telling the story in each event. I will especially forever cherish the polaroids she took. At the end of our wedding night we had a photo album capturing the the night, which was such a special touch! Her work is not only beautiful, her personality is too. We instantly connected and I felt like I had friend by my side at each photoshoot. She makes you feel so comfortable and helps direct you into the most flattering, natural poses.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Jade. She was professional, attentive, flexible, creative, knowledgeable, personable, passionate about her work, warm, and just a lovely person to work with. We found her portfolio on Wedding Wire and really liked her style of photos. When we reached out, she was very thorough and clear in the packages that she offered and always responded quickly. Based on the price and her photos, it was an easy choice for us to book her as our wedding photographer. My husband and I chose to get married at San Francisco City Hall, so we also wanted someone who had lots of experience at this venue and Jade did not disappoint. After we booked her, she scheduled a planning meeting with us one week before our wedding date. I loved that she enjoyed getting to know us as a couple and our love story and gave us tips on poses and where to get my bridal bouquet. On our wedding day, Jade arrived early and greeted us, super excited to photograph our wedding. She was very knowledgeable in where to go for the best photos and suggested many poses for us to try. She was also very attentive to our needs and energy levels and checked in with us often as it was a busy day. It took about 2 months for us to receive the photos and we are in love with them. They captured our sweetest moments and brought us right back to our wedding day. Lastly, you can tell how passionate Jade is as a photographer by the way she talks about photography and capturing wedding moments. Thank you, Jade, for your hard work and dedication to our wedding photos. We will enjoy them for a lifetime and we hope to work with you again in the future! :)

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Azaria not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.
