Kelly Balch Photography 
Los Angeles, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

I’m Kelly Balch, an international wedding & editorial storyteller. A curious empath who loves to hear all truths from different walks of life, a hopeless romantic with a buzz cut, and I have the most profound faith in love and truth. While my heart is in the present, my head is in the cosmos. I’m unnecessarily obsessed with tattoos, coasters, and waffles. I am a big believer in energy, synchronicities, and that everything happens for a reason. If you’ve come this far on my page and felt a little bit of a connection or you’re wearing a smile, then I stand true to that belief. So let’s meet, collaborate, and make beautiful magic together.

A photograph can leave one feeling a plethora of emotions, a visual representation of reality. It may be happy, it may be painful but whatever the case, it is real.

THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER YOU WILL FIND! We’ve used Carly for many family sessions, our engagement session (in Red Rock, NV), and of course our wedding, and I plan to stay in contact and use her for family sessions in the future! We got married during COVID and she was so helpful with being accommodating to our small ceremony, and booking us for our reception next year. Not to mention, she helped us find an officiant, and has been able to answer every question I had about weddings in general. Her knowledge in the industry goes far beyond photography/videography. Carly radiates joy and love to every single couple that she is with. My husband is not a fan of pictures, but he leaves sessions with the Drzazgas in a great mood, Carly is so good at making us laugh! All of our photos turn out GORGEOUS!!! Pictures are something I truly cherish and she always does the most perfect job at capturing all of our special moments that we will be able to look at forever. She is incredibly talented at what she does, but she is also an incredible person who would be the perfect choice for your special day. Not only do I feel like we had the best photographer and photos, but I also feel like Carly became a friend throughout our process and knows our story so well. I could not recommend her more.

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVED our engagement photo session and photos from Justin McCallum. The whole experience with Justin was amazing. My fiancé and I felt so at ease, and we wish he could photograph us all the time. We knew we were going to have a good time and the photos were going to be great but the whole shoot really exceeded our expectations. One of the things that was important to us was to have our dog be a part of our engagement shoot. Justin was so accommodating and had no problem incorporating him into the session.   I was particularly worried about how people were going to react with how I look in our photoshoot. I'm a proud plus size girl, but my whole life it has been rare for me to take a photo without SOME sort of comment about my appearance from others. There was a good two years where I just did not take photos of myself which I really regret. When I got the photos back from Justin I just felt so beautiful and confident, really how every bride should always feel. I did not care what comments were coming my way because of how proud I was of the shoot. I'm crying writing this which is silly but I want everyone to know how beautiful I felt in my engagement photos! We absolutely recommend Justin to everyone. If you are not someone who is used to the camera or uncomfortable in front of the camera, definitely book with Justin, he will make everything easy and you will feel beautiful!

We are a wedding + elopement duo serving the Nashville area + some other special places that make us happy. We can’t wait to meet you! We started capturing weddings through covid when we were stuck at home and needed to find some way to be creative. Savannah went to school for videography and Jon is an OG drummer turned videographer that has really enjoyed getting to create. If we aren’t celebrating you and your love story, you can find us at the beach, probably eating some yummy food, and missing our fluff ball kitty at home. We are so easy going and love to be spontaneous with our plans.

We couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional service provided by our photographers! From the moment they arrived, punctual and ready, they went above and beyond to ensure every moment was captured flawlessly. Not only did they have an eye for the big picture, but they also attended to the smallest details, like fixing Anthony's tie or assisting Ada with her dress buttons, making sure everything was picture-perfect. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. They were attentive, responsive, and truly invested in understanding our vision. Additionally, We were amazed by how quickly they delivered sneak peeks the very next day, allowing us to relive the magic instantly (and honestly every time someone asks how the wedding was). Even though they're based in Texas, we would not hesitate to rebook them for any future events. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for their clients make them stand out in the industry. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable! 5 stars without a doubt.

Newport Beach, CA

  • Serves Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

  • Serves Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA

Hi! So you’re getting married and you made it here :) First off, congratulations! Love found your heart, and this is all that matters. I’m Tiago and before being a vendor of your wedding, I want you to keep in mind that behind the camera there is a person, who is more interested in your life story, and in the history of your love to translate it into pictures. With that said, before we talk about photography, we can have a beer or a good wine and get to know each other better. If you are willing to do this and also have elegant, romantic and very natural images, it will be an honor to be part of your life by clicking on your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tiago is a fabulous photographer and person. We planned an elopement wedding in Vegas, and he met with us first to determine compatibility with his style. Then he helped set up a schedule that worked for what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he picked us up from the hotel and drove us to the Little White Chapel, drove us to multiple locations for photographs and gave us a brief tour of the art district even, then at the end of the sessions, dropped us back off in Vegas at our hotel. This is far beyond what we expected of him. His photograph style is great. He gave us directions on posing for more dramatic effects and chose great locations with nice backdrops for the photos. When we finally received the photos we were blown away at the results. I have never seen such great wedding photography. They are more like art than the stilted photos I am used to seeing from weddings. He is a very fun and nice person to talk with, and we interacted a lot during the 4 hours we spent with him. I would book him again for a photo shoot (obviously not my wedding, but for some other type of photo needs like portraits and such). He's just great. He's an artist. He's a great human being. And he cares about the people he works with. Great experience.

Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! If you’re thinking about hiring Natura Collective, then stop thinking and just say yes! Christian and Emilio are out of this world—we’re talking complete creative geniuses. We hired them for our wedding photography, and they also did our engagement shoot. From our initial conversations, we knew these guys were the real deal: funny, compassionate, down to earth, and truly in love with their job. They brought a passion and energy to our wedding day that is honestly indescribable. They captured so many beautiful moments for us, I’m convinced we’re going to need a War and Peace sized photo album to put them in! They captured every moment of our day beautifully: from candid photos of everyone getting ready to close ups of of all of the details to the day to formal group shots and amazing and creative action shots of our dance floor and everything in between. We are a mixed race couple/family, and they knew how to light and capture absolutely everyone beautifully. They are fantastic at their jobs, as they are intuitive and naturally bring out the best in people, which translates into gorgeous, glowing photograph. They are also just great people themselves, which is important since they were such a big party of our day. Getting to know them throughout this process has been its own benefit. From start to finish, they are excellent.

Awarded Best of Zola
We did a lot of shopping around for our engagement photos, and we decided to go with Russ. When we got the photos back, we knew we would never use another photographer in the bay area again. The photoshoot felt so casual, but the resulting photos looked carefully crafted to perfection. When the circumstances led to us doing a zoom elopement, we jumped at the opportunity to book Russ again. A consistent experience, with some of the most beautiful photos we've ever seen. It's hard to believe they were taken right outside our door. He has a talent for turning just about any location into an incredible work of art. During these crazy times, it's also worth noting that he wore 2 masks and was very respectful of our space to make sure everyone felt safe. 10/10 will book again.

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!

We are SO happy we had Sarah as our photographer. From the very beginning when we first reached out, she was organized and on top of her game! After our initial consult we knew we had to book her ASAP. Sarah is such a bright and fun presence. She brought the BEST energy to both our sunrise engagement shoot and our full wedding day when a hype woman is exactly what we needed. She is positive, confident, fun, and just plain GREAT at what she does! As for her photography, I’m sure that can speak for itself - it is truly gorgeous!! She beautifully captures meaningful moments and the results are phenomenal. She got so many sweet candid and action shots that captured the emotions of the day so well. Finally, Sarah was always professional and great with communication. It helps that she is a genuinely kind person who so clearly wants your day to turn out perfectly! Seriously, you won’t go wrong with booking Sarah. 11/10 would choose her again in a heartbeat!

We hired Karli to photograph our micro-wedding in June. Even though we had a smaller guest count than anticipated, we wanted to make sure that we could capture the memories from our event for posterity. She went above and beyond to deliver amazing photographs and was super respectful of the different aspects of our wedding that differed from a traditional American wedding. For example, the bride and groom wanted to mix & match parts from their different Asian heritages that they loved, including outfit changes for the bride and for the groom's mother, traditional food, and a tea ceremony for the bride and groom's parents. Karli was able to get candid shots of everything. For those couples who are going for a rustic and down to Earth Southern barn wedding, look no further! This is your photographer. She will take the time to get to know you as a couple (which makes for the most authentic photographs).

Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

Erin is the best. Period. It's hard for me to really find words to describe this incredible woman and the photos she created for both our wedding and engagement sessions. First of all, Erin runs her business very well. She's a great communicator, up front with pricing and services, and conducts her research to make sure she truly captures you as a couple. Second, she's SO talented. The lighting, composition and editing of the photos is exactly what I was looking for - airy, bright, simple. They don't look over-edited but still have that vividness that makes them look like they should be in a magazine. Lastly, Erin is just an outstanding human. She is kind, funny, goofy, and went the extra mile (actually the extra 200 miles) when we decided to elope after our wedding was cancelled for Covid. Like what?? Without a second thought, she jumped into planning mode and captured the day perfectly. WE LOVE YOU ERIN! And we will cherish these photos and your friendship 5ever.

They go out of their way to make sure things are safe and of course make sure you get exactly what you what for your wedding photos and video!

I believe in vibing well with your photographer because let's be honest, your photographer will be up close and personal with you throughout your big day so it's important to choose someone whose energy you enjoy and mesh well with.

When you book Susan, you book an entire team. I was so confident the whole night that photos were completely handled because Susan's team was ON TOP of it. Before I even thought about a shot, they were already taking it. It didn't feel cheesy and they were so fun to work with.

I specialize in 35mm and medium format film photography, but I also offer digital photography and am typically shooting both on a wedding day. My inspiration comes from organic moments, perfectly imperfect details, finding beauty in simplicity, and natural, modern and creative environments. I find that I thrive most when I get to work with couples who are so involved in the moment, they don’t care much about a wrinkle in their dress or a misplaced hair.

We loved our photos from the elopement, and we are sure we’ll love the rest of the wedding photos when they come back. Thank you for everything. You had such a calming presence, and your work is exquisite! I’d recommend Marci to anyone looking for documentary style photography of their wedding day.

She will be there to help make your vision come to life. You can count on her to have your back and lend a hand in time of need.

Leah Marie Photography + Stationery is truly the BEST! Hire Leah if you are seeking a wedding photographer to capture those special moments as this is her beautiful gifting. She was suggested and we fell in love with her personality over the phone. She was radiant, joyful and exuberant. She traveled to North Georgia to photo and without us knowing, she even photographed our rehearsal. One of the qualities that makes Leah stand out above other photographers I've worked with, (I'm an actress and on set often) is her specialized eye on composition, lighting and movement in a photo and the way she makes everyone feel at ease. The photos she captured were published a week later in the magazine BEAUTIFUL. Our wedding was featured in a 7 page spread story about our celebration. The other huge selling factor about Leah is the softness she provides in the finished photo. It is a surreal, warm, quality filled with a love light that is consistent in all of the photos she prepped and sent to us. She delivers such emotional and epic photos. Our videographer was filming and you see Leah photographing us, not missing a moment and she complimented /coordinated with our wedding palette. It was incredible. My sister consistently said how she wished she had a fraction of the talent in her wedding photographer. Leah is a rare gift. You not only get a photographer but a friend and a joyful personality celebrating your special day with you. Didn't miss a moment, talented, professional, easy to work with and turned around photos within moments.

In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

So I love a good candid and aim to make y'all feel comfortable in front of the camera so you can enjoy the day knowing the moments are being saved.

I am truly thrilled to be sitting here writing this amazing review for Jodee. Where do I even begin? I met Jodee while working at a wedding and her personality just blew me away. On the day of the event we were working she was all smiles and nothing but her being the sweetest person ever! When it came time to make the big decision of who I wanted to be, my wedding photographer Jodee instantly came to mind. I loved her style of photography true to color and she captures those moments you will cherish forever. As my fiance and I are officially a year out from our wedding I wanted to take our engagement photos somewhere magical. I called Jodee and let her know that we were thinking of Yosemite National Park. Jodee was nothing but excited to shoot in this location and this is when all the fun began. Let me just tell you Jodee is great at reaching out and keeping in contact with you for all your needs. When it came time to booking our reservation at Yosemite Jodee handled everything from making the reservation to finding out all info regarding parking and food and locations. This task was not easy given the circumstances currently during COVID Yosemite has changed their rules currently and it was a much different process to go to the park unlike in the past. Jodee was quick to jump on the computer and read about everything we needed to make this trip successful. She had a whole schedule that made our time there truly memorable. I can truly say that when we arrived it felt like everything was normal again and we were amongst nature and we felt free. When the big day came Jodee showed up early and scouted the area before we got there to find the best possible areas for our shoot! We had planned for one whole day of shooting till sunset and a beautiful sunrise shoot too. Jodee was game for everything! We had four outfit changes and several different locations for our photoshoot from Taft Point, Glacier Point, and El Capitan Meadow just to name a few. Each location was more magical than the other. Did I mention how easy it was to feel comfortable around Jodee too? It felt so seamless and easy we never felt like we were posed or uncomfortable she also knows the tricks to make you laugh. During that time it was so great to get to know more about here and her career and how she got started in photography. I am so grateful that I found Jodee and after our engagement shoot I am only more excited to see what magical photos she captures on our wedding day. I cannot stress enough how amazing this woman is. She will go above and beyond to make sure you’re the happiest person on your special day. Thank you Jodee from the bottom of my heart I cannot wait to book you again for all our future adventures. Can't wait for the big wedding day but I needed people to know how passionate you are about all your shoots. You truly outdid yourself! We love you, Chelsea & Colton

I have even become life long friends with some of them. I am a mother of 3 and have always loved art, and once I picked up my camera and found a way to tell others love stories, I knew I found what I was supposed to do.

We hired Michelle for our wedding and wow... where do I start?? Michelle and her assistant were INCREDIBLE! They were super friendly, thoughtful, funny, helpful and just made us feel incredible comfortable! My husband and I are shy people who do not like to be the center of attention and do not like to get our pictures taken, so we were both anxious about it. As soon as they started, we ended up actually having so much fun, laughing and having a great time getting our pictures taken! I have seen a few sneak peeks and am already in tears at how beautifully they turned out. I CANNOT wait to see how the others turned out! We will 100% be working with her again in the future!

I’m Cherlyn (rhymes with Berlin). So nice to e-meet you! If we met in person and it wasn’t during a pandemic- I would probably hug you! I’m an introvert-extrovert and tend to ramble too much when I get nervous. In emails - I tend to use exclamation points a lot!! (and will agonize over my drafts of emails before sending them because they probably have one too many!!) My aim as your photographer is to provide a memorable experience where you two feel comfortable, taken care of, and get to fully enjoy your wedding day as much as possible with all your guests & loved ones - whether they be in real life or via livestream!

Cherlyn is a dream. A friend of ours recommended her to us for our engagement photos and I swear she has some inside scoop with the sun because the lighting was insane (in a good way). She literally managed to find every single shimmer the golden hour had to offer. My husband (never gets old) and I pulled together a somewhat last minute ceremony and reached out equally last minute to see if she was available, and thankfully she was. Our ceremony was followed by dinner and drinks at two separate locations hours apart - so we had super low expectations for capturing the whole day. Cherlyn not only came to each location, she helped with set up, and did her thing making sure every special moment was photographed. She's personable, thoughtful and will go out of her way to make you and your partner feel comfortable. For us she felt like an extension of our community and a new friend. If you're in the SF Bay Area, look no further. You won't be disappointed.

Hi, I'm Veronica, a wedding and adventure elopement photographer who's lucky enough to have documented important moments like your wedding day for the past three years. Before going full-time into this business last year, I was in a totally different field for my day job! I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering from MIT and worked as a systems engineer at Boeing until I quit to put all my time and energy into my true passion - this biz! I love using my creative and technical skills to pause the perfect moments to capture all the emotions, warmth, color, and movement that will bring back that memory in the years to come!

Veronica was our wedding photographer, and we just loved working with her! She's an absolute delight and her photos are amazing. During our engagement shoot, she was incredibly personable and had a great way of making us do these silly dynamic poses that ultimately got us laughing at ourselves. This came out as spontaneous joy-filled candids that just so purely capture how we want to remember these moments. In terms of the actual photography, she comes from an aerospace engineering background, so she has a very technical approach to her work in addition to being overall great to work with. On our actual wedding day, it felt like she blended in as part of the wedding party - she was fun to hang out with and also helped with various odds and ends while getting ready! Everything felt seamless and professional, but also felt like having an extra friend! Highly recommend Veronica - she is such a gem and we are in love with her photography.

After 10 years and over 200 weddings, I know how to fold into a large group of people, how to be there and make it feel like I'm not. I've been documenting weddings for nearly a decade and I love it even more now than when I started. My work is candid, emotional, and comfortable. I love to infuse editorial and documentary moments into my galleries, but mostly I just love to be able to photograph moments as they unfold.

It’s been a year since our wedding and I still look at the photos Melissa captured of us on a daily basis. When we were going through the painstaking process of planning and budgeting for our wedding, photos were at the top of my list in terms of their importance. Enter Melissa—we met a year and a half before our wedding day when she took our engagement photos and it was basically love at first sight. We felt so incredibly comfortable with her almost immediately and by the end of our session, we were bantering and joking around like old friends. Flash forward to our wedding day—not only did Melissa take gorgeous photos of our ceremony, first look, reception, etc, but she was a support system and that is something that is truly invaluable on one of the biggest days of your life. I can’t recommend her more.

Keith shot our wedding in early November and we could not be more thrilled with how our photos turned out! He was awesome through every step of the process - communicative, helpful, thoughtful. We were nervous about photos since neither of us loves having our photo taken. Keith was great in making us less nervous and not forcing us into any photos that felt strange. Most importantly, he truly captured the emotions we felt that day and the joy we felt in the room during our ceremony and reception. Our guests cannot stop commenting on how great the photos came out. Highly recommend working with him if you have the opportunity - you won't be disappointed!

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Adam Kent is the epitome of a wedding photography professional. His unparalleled skills behind the lens are matched only by his engaging and direct personality. Couples immediately feel at ease with him, thanks to his fun demeanor. Adam's adept communication throughout the day is crucial for navigating such significant moments amidst the excitement of friends and family. He seamlessly keeps everyone in sync and on schedule. What sets him apart is not just his amazing photography, but also his consistently impeccable frame composition. Working with Adam guarantees not only stunning visuals but also a smoothly orchestrated and joy-filled wedding day.

Jaylim is AMAZING. So many of our guests commented on their professionalism and compared them to ninjas. They were EVERYWHERE! But at the same time, never in the way or blocking the moment. My husband and I aren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera, but they made us feel so so comfortable and made the day fun and light and wonderful. They were such a pleasure to work with and we are so excited to see our final product!

Hello, my name is Liv and I'm an Adventure Elopement + Destination Wedding photographer based in Colorado. I'm down for just about anything rock climbing, snowboard/skiing, hot air balloon, helicopters, ATV and sand dune riding. If you are up for a unique experience, I am here to capture it! If you want to keep it simple overlooking the mountains I am there! I'm here to tell your story no matter how minimal or adventurous it may be. Best yet, I travel to you! Traveling to new destinations with couples to their desired location is a part of what I do + love to do!

As a provider of entertainment for large events, you work with many different planners, photographers, bands, florists, etc. The quality of the event depends on the quality of the people you hire. Photographs are one thing, but what people don't see is how a photographer can set a tone or a level of comfort that carries through the event team and event. Working with Olivia on multiple jobs were some of my favorite experiences because not only were the photos exceptional, the way she guided and calmed the guests and team makes for an enjoyable experience all around. I would recommend Olivia for any event and have used Olivia as my personal photographer!
