Meet Ellen, a Southern California native and seasoned visual storyteller: I've been photographing events and portraiture since 2017 and specialize in destination weddings and elopements. For me, the best part about being a photographer is getting to witness my client’s once in a lifetime memories being created and knowing that my work will allow future generations to experience those memories as well. I take on all types of creative photo shoots when I'm not shooting weddings.

Hey there! I'm Madison- a seasoned elopement and micro wedding photographer based in sunny Southern California. Since 2017, I've been on a mission to capture life's most precious moments through my lens. My photography style? Think sweet, golden, and bright – a reflection of the radiant energy of California living.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first interaction with Sweet M Photography, we were impressed by her friendly, communicative, and detailed approach. I loved the different elopement packages she offered which made it really easy to pick the best fit for our day. Madison is incredibly knowledgeable, and her work is truly impressive. As a couple who's not used to being in front of the camera, she did an amazing job coaching us through different shots and helping us feel relaxed and natural. Honestly we would have been happy with 1 or 2 great photos, but with Madison they were all great. She also had them turned around to us in a week which was so nice to be able to see them while on our honeymoon. Can't recommend enough!

Renee and Ricky are two of the most incredible people I’ve met, not only did we immediately feel comfortable with them but they became more like friends. They are so insanely skilled at their craft, Renee knows exactly how to capture every moment. Having them both there at our wedding truly made Dylan and I feel so at ease. They were so helpful, they went above and beyond. They made sure Dylan and I were good the entire time, they were constantly checking on the two of us asking if we needed anything(water, food etc). When we need photos we will make the drive out to California just to have our photos taken by Renee and Ricky. There’s no other photographer/ videographer I would recommend other than these two! Thank you both so much.

My photos will transport you back to your special day whenever you want to reminisce.

Drew was actually hired as our second shooter and he did a phenomenal job. He made us feel like family even though we had just met.

Rachael Hulse Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Palm Desert, CA

Your photos should do more than simply capture a moment. They should spark memories of how it felt. The laughter, the tears, the warmth of a shared embrace, and the electric energy of moments too extraordinary to put into words. Years from now, I want you to hold these images and be transported back: to the sound of joy, the glow of love, and the memories you never want to fade.

Where do I even start!! Rachael was absolutely amazing to work with! We had the pleasure of taking our first family photos with Rachael Hulse Photography & we couldn't be happier! Having a 5&1/2 month old, we were very nervous to see how it would go, but Rachael went above and beyond to make it such a memorable and fun experience for us. She worked amazing with our baby girl & even sang along with us to "twinkle twinkle little star" to get her playful and smiling! Photos can always feel a little nerve wracking, but Rachael eased our minds right away with how calm and professional she was. She put us into so many great poses and we are obsessed with every photo she delivered. I highly recommend her & we already can't wait to book with her again! Thank you so much Rachael!

Summer Shea Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Palm Desert, CA

I’m Summer and I’m a wedding and portrait photographer. I love to document moments, big ones and the tiny ones that sometimes go unnoticed. Things I enjoy, Funny memes, kind people and enjoy a good true crime podcast. I'm a 9 on the enneagram, if your into that. I believe in true love and the power of a great hug.

During COVD we've had to change our plans so many times we were just about to give up and just get married at the county clerk. Summer was so patient at every twist and turn and encouraged us to hold a Minimony. With her help, and suggestions of wonderful vendors, we got married. A small intimate wedding, following all the current restrictions of coarse, and it was MAGICAL. We had the best day and it actually probably better then we originally planned. Thank you Summer you are a godsend and our photos are PERFECTION!

Here to document your love from every angle. :) Hi, I'm Jess, a So-Cal based photographer specializing in intimate weddings and elopements. Having experienced the magic of an intimate ceremony myself, I understand the beauty of preserving those genuine moments and meaningful connections with those closest to you. My passion lies in capturing the emotions, details, and perfect angles that make your day uniquely yours. I’d love to hear about your vision and tell you about how I can help preserve these memories for a lifetime. Let’s chat!

ANGL Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was prompt, quick, and incredibly helpful. Jess did an amazing job capturing our special day, delivering beautiful, professional-quality photos that perfectly encapsulate the intimacy and joy of our small courthouse wedding. She guided us through the process, finding a second location that we didn't even know existed to shoot the pictures, and the results are breathtaking. We'll always cherish these high-quality photos and be able to share them with family who couldn't be there in person. We can't thank Jess and ANGL Photography enough for their consistent, communicative, and timely service on our wedding day.
