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.

Beginning my journey in the world of filmmaking, I initially delved into the realms of music videos and commercials, honing my craft in storytelling and visual artistry.

  • Serves Pasadena, 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.

My husband and I couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience with Brittney! From the moment I met her, I immediately knew I wanted her to be our photographer. At a wedding showcase with 30 other photographers, she was the only one I felt comfortable with. She felt like a friend from the start. Before the wedding, Brittney was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and helping us plan all the perfect shots and details. She knew what to ask and was so patient with us throughout the entire planning process. One of the standout moments from the wedding was when our 1-year-old daughter, who was the flower girl, had a full-on meltdown. Despite the chaos, Brittney was incredibly patient and worked some kind of magic to capture the most gorgeous and creative photos with our screaming toddler! I truly dont know how she did it but we got great shots of everyone. She was even patient with our dog who had to take frequent breaks from the heat! The pictures turned out amazing, and we are so grateful for her patience, her creativity, and her ability to capture the true essence of the day—even the most challenging moments. We had a very small outside ceremony in Long Beach with only our immediate families. Brittney felt like an extension of our family being there. I truly felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also calm, professional, and a joy to work with!

Hi there. I am a wedding + lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma and Sacramento areas. My focus is on outdoor weddings: gardens, historic homes, wineries, parks, private estates, forests, national parks, and country clubs. I adore details and love when couples pour their hearts and souls into making their wedding a special day they will remember forever.

I got married in Napa Valley and didn't know who to hire for my professional pictures. The venue recommended a few names and after contacting Vanessa I knew that is who I wanted to work with. She was very caring and patient. She was on time and didn't disrupt the moment when I was getting ready, instead she made it special. She gave us poses to do and talked to the venue to make sure we could go to a little bridge I wanted to take pictures at. I highly recommend her!!

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.

Hi there! I'm Zack, a wedding photographer from Orange County, Ca. Ever since I was a young kid studying (and sketching!) bugs in the backyard, I've had a fierce love for the details in the little moments of this crazy life. I got my first "real" camera when I was 12 and was instantly hooked. As I grew, so did my passion and ability to translate those moments into memories. I had the chance to help photograph a wedding when I was 17 and wow! What an experience! That night, I looked through the photos and fell in love. I knew that capturing the moments that would mean something to someone for the rest of their life was where I belonged.

Zack was AMAZING to work with! He has over 10 years of experience and it shows with the variety he offered in our gallery. Everything looked natural and he captured my surprise moment extremely well without tipping off my fiancé. I love how responsive he is, the ease of the being able to look at the gallery and sending it to friends/family. He led the photo shoot and nothing felt awkward. We had many different poses, camera effects, lighting and backgrounds all in one location. His creativity is incredible and when you find someone who loves what they do, you see it in the stunning results. Biggest moment in my life so far and it’s easy to relive through his photos. Thanks Zack!!

The most consistent feedback I get from my couples is that I put them at ease.

I’m a modern and journalistic photographer who specializes in capturing candid, spontaneous moments in a natural and unobtrusive way. It is characterized by its emphasis on storytelling and the use of a documentary style of photography. modern and journalistic photography emphasizes authenticity, storytelling, and capturing the unique personality and emotions of the subject. By using a natural and unobtrusive approach, I create a more personal and intimate representation of their subject.

Bryan took our wedding photos back in June. In addition to all the great reviews already here, I want to rave about his artistry and genuine personality. He was sensitive to my needs and my Korean-speaking family and relatives. This is apparent in the way he communicates and addresses everyone (So important!) He walked me through the entire event and sweetly reminded me when it was photo-time and time to meet the guests and so forth (I didn't really have an idea what I was supposed to do.) He also told me when my lipstick needed retouching when no-one else did! He also took charge when the videographer I hired ran out of ideas for poses. He stayed until the end to capture our moments. The photos came out beautifully. He is a gem.

I'm Daisy (also known as the 3 styled Photog) Passionate; Expressive; Devout. Photography is something that I stumbled upon 8 years ago and instantly fell in love with. I am fortunate enough that I have found joy in capturing the art amidst peoples' lives and places around the world. I was born in France, spent my childhood in Cameroon, West Africa and moved to the USA 25 years ago. My foreign experiences, footwork and training has allowed me to become an avid photography world traveler. My personal favorite focus is Wedding Photography and specifically shooting in three distinct styles (Light and Airy, Moody, and in Vibrant Colors).

I have a love for travel and I'm obsessed with my dog and two cats. I enjoy lots of raw, sassy humor and a little bit of sarcasm. Tequila is my go-to... all the margaritas please! The desert is where you’ll find me on any given day. There’s something so magical about that place, am I right? I love learning the little weird things about my couples and bringing out the corkiness. We all have it! If you like what you’re reading, maybe I'm the one!

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I wanted to work with Kellie after she did my friends wedding video a few years back. We had a tight budget and she worked with us to create a highlight video for our ceremony so that we could have a video of the most important part of our day. She is very professional and came up with unique shot ideas (detail shots, dancing, active poses, etc.). The video turned out beautifully and feels unique to us and our special day. I am forever grateful for the experience I had with Kellie and the video she created for us. She is so driven and talented! Highly recommend and if you are debating getting a video or not (as I know it’s not in everyone’s budget) I would advise you to just go for it as I can’t imagine not having the video. I would have regretted it so much! Just do it…and go with Kellie too, she’s the best!

Fine art wedding photographer based in Phoenix AZ, and ready to capture your natural and authentic day! I have traveled and photographed over 150 weddings and believe in capturing the real emotion that happens on your wedding day with timeless editing . From elopements and backyard weddings to large venue banquets, I have all your photographic needs covered. I wear many hats during your wedding to be sure it is as stress free as possible. While I do not replace a wedding coordinator, my duties to you on your day, do overlap. I want to make sure that you enjoy every moment and that after you have stunning photos to fondly look back on.

Absolutely thrilled to share our experience with our amazing wedding photographer, Kristy Velesko! From start to finish, Kristy displayed exceptional communication skills, ensuring that every detail was perfectly planned, and answering all my emails and questions so promptly. Her energy and friendliness were contagious, making everyone feel at ease and adding a special spark to our day. Everyone in my wedding party loved working with Kristy! Kristy's vast knowledge about weddings was invaluable. She anticipated our needs and had creative solutions for everything (like how do I go to the ladies room in a HUGE ballgown - she knew!). Her artistic talent truly sets her apart; she photoshopped a stunning castle into our wedding photos, making our fairytale dreams come true! Not all photographers have this additional skill set! One of the standout moments was Kristy's ability to be the “bad guy” for us, especially when managing the bridal party. She expertly directed the groomsmen, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time. Especially when my groom gave them all lightsabers as gifts, you can assume the craziness that ensued! But everyone loved her even if she had to be bossy with them! A highlight was how impressed Disney’s Fairytale Weddings team was with her work. They couldn’t stop raving about her professionalism and the vibrant, beautiful photos she captured. Kristy truly has a gift for photography, and we are beyond grateful for the magical memories she created for us. We have since asked her to do family portraits and since I had 3 wedding gowns (Yes, 3!) - we had her do more portraits. They were all so gorgeous! Haven’t had a bad photo and I love how she knows exactly the directions to give us to get the best photos! Highly recommend her for any special occasion!
