Claire Ferguson Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Petaluma, CA

Hello, I am a Northern California and destination wedding photographer that could not possibly love her job anymore! Photography has been a passion of mine since a very young age, my mom was a portrait photographer and after being in front of her camera for too many years I decided to see what the fuss was about and get behind the lens. I launched this business less than a week after graduating from UC Berkeley in 2016. ​

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Claire! She takes amazing photos and is so easy to work with. Her process and communication leading up to the wedding was so helpful and made us feel confident that she would capture our day perfectly! I’ve already recommended her to multiple friends and I know we will be hiring her again for future sessions.

Tuan and his team are absolutely amazing! I was a bride whose number one priority for my wedding (aside from getting married) was photography. Tuan took the time to chat through the process, answer all my questions, and provide advice based on his expertise. On the day of our wedding, he was professional, calming, and creative. And our pictures were absolutely stunning! I cannot recommend Tuan B & Co enough- hire them, they are the best!

Georgy Shishkin Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Petaluma, CA

Hi, I'm Georgy Shishkin — a wedding and elopement photographer with over 16 years of experience capturing love stories in breathtaking landscapes. Based in Oregon, I photograph weddings across the Pacific Northwest, California, and British Columbia. My background in photojournalism taught me how to anticipate real emotion, while my years in wedding photography taught me how to guide and support couples in front of the camera. I love helping people who’ve never modeled before feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely connected. Every story is personal to me — I’m not just your photographer, I’m your teammate throughout the day.

I rarely write comments about the work of specialists, but it is simply impossible not to appreciate the work of Georgy Shishkin! This man is an amazing Photographer with a capital letter! The way he sees the frame, how he builds the shooting process, what impression he makes on everyone who participates in it - this is great professionalism, experience and, of course, a gift given to him from above! For the past 6 years, George has been filming the most important events of our lives. There are more than 1000 of his pictures in family albums, which we review every time with great joy and nostalgia! Our wedding, the birth of children, walks, trips to Altai and Baikal, Geogry was always happy to agree to all our crazy filming ideas and the result always exceeded expectations! This is the rare case when you are already spoiled by good shots and your expectations are too high, but every time he surpasses himself and the shots that you get in the end cause just a flurry of genuine emotions and joy! I wholeheartedly recommend Georgy Shishkin as the best photographer in our city! Because sometimes I had to work with other professionals, and as a result, we all concluded that no one coped with the task better than Georgy! Georgy always exceeds expectations and does his job with a piece of his soul, it is felt in every frame to which he put his talented hand of a photographer!

Valley Images Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,950
  • Serves Petaluma, CA

I have been photographing couples for nearly 10 years and have loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed following them through engagement, wedding, maternity and now family sessions. 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.

Valley Images Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with! As planners, we work with many photographers and Michelle is one of our favorites. Their communication style is quick, personal, caring, and professional. The quality of their work is truly beautiful, artistic, and unique. They took the time to scope out hidden gem spaces at the venues and listened closely to the couple to capture the day perfectly. An absolute joy to collaborate with!

Fits & Stops Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,850
  • Serves Petaluma, CA

I’m a sucker for a story, especially a love story. Ever since beginning a love affair with photography in Scotland, I’ve worked to capture striking photography for hopeless romantics. From traditional weddings to elopements, I’m game to capture creative and sentimental moments in timeless color.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so glad we found P.J. from Fits and Stops Photography. From the early planning stages, he was attuned to our needs and photographic wishes. Prior to booking him for the wedding, we did an engagement photo session with him. We were very happy with his professionalism, creativity, and fun personality. He had the photos to us quickly and we were so happy with his work that we booked him for our wedding. He created a custom wedding photo package tailored to our photography needs. We planned a relatively small wedding at a family’s vineyard, but then the global pandemic happened. In the months and weeks leading up to our wedding P.J. was incredibly flexible, understanding, and accommodating. As our plans continued to change weekly and then daily, P.J. remained positive and supportive. Because of the pandemic, we had so many stressors and challenges, but P.J. was never one of them. We knew no matter what we still wanted to be married on our original date and even if no one could attend, we wanted P.J. there to take photos. Literally days before our wedding, we finalized a plan to do an elopement ceremony deep in the forest. It required a long drive to the mountains, a bumpy ride on a dirt road, a hike into the woods, and a short climb to a rocky overlook. Not exactly what P.J. thought he was getting into when we booked him for a vineyard wedding months ago, but he was 100% on board with our new plan and so excited for us. It meant a lot to us to have all his positive energy and enthusiasm with us on our wedding day. Though our wedding did not go as we thought it would when we planned it many months ago, our wedding was beautiful and P.J. did a fantastic job capturing the elopement ceremony. The day after our wedding he sent us a few photos to share with our family and friends sheltering in place around the globe. His photos meant so much to those who were eagerly waiting to gather for our wedding, only to be devastated when we had to alter our plans. Many people commented they felt they were right there with us as they looked through P.J.’s photos. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience working with P.J. We look forward to the day when we can all gather safely in celebration and we hope we can have P.J. there to capture all those special moments with our family and friends.

We hired Lisa Richmond to photograph our wedding. She took beautiful photos (in a not ideal light situation) and really captured the spirit of the event. She is a gifted photographer with a keen eye for composition and character. She really got herself into the middle of all that was happening while at the same time was unobtrusive and respectful of the guests and the event. Such an amazing combination of skills. Lisa is also a joy to work with. She has a curious mind and that curiosity draws her into her subjects and creates beautiful work. I highly recommend her.

We are a family-owned wedding photography and videography company that was started in 2012. At heart, we're all just a bunch of fun-loving misfits with cameras who love what we do and want to put smiles and tears of joy on people's faces when they see the photos and videos we take. We have over 1000 weddings behind our belt and countless moments of happiness.

Awarded Best of Zola
We wish we could give "I Do" Photography and Nathan (our photographer) 10 stars! They worked our wedding at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills and did an absolutely incredible job (more details below). Sarah, our go-to contact person from day one, went way above and beyond in being accessible for questions, taking note of our vision and making great suggestions. In short, she was a total delight to work with, as was the case with Nathan. Prior to the wedding, Nathan took time out of his busy life to get on a video call with Corey and I to discuss our timeline, vision and final details. The questionnaire Sarah provided before that was also extremely helpful in conveying our vision, and it was evident Nathan had reviewed those responses in detail before our call. Nathan and The "I Do" Photography team listened attentively and noted all of our requests and gave great suggestions, but always made it clear it was up to us and they wanted to execute whatever was most important to us. We left our meeting with Nathan feeling so at ease about the people who would capture our day! The craziest part is Nathan was even more spectacular on the wedding day itself than we could have ever expected and brought the most incredible energy and enthusiasm for SEVEN hours straight. Nathan worked tirelessly throughout the evening, and he and the "I Do" team's commitment to excellence was evident in every interaction with them in the lead-up and every moment throughout the wedding. We are so in love with our wedding photos and cannot get over the talent and quality of Nathan and the editing team. Corey and I hope many more couples get to experience what we did throughout the process and couldn't be more thankful for the role that Nathan and the broader "I Do" team (Sarah, Anna and Lydia) played!

Welcome. "I BELIEVE...connection matters. Photos tell our story and carry our legacy. Melanin matters on camera. Every human deserves to be seen. 8 out of 10 humans say they feel awkward in front of the camera; Laughter is the antidote." ​ It is my loud passion to capture the personality of relationship...within couples, families, communities, and even organizations. And I have been this way since I was a kid. With my hot pink camera in tow, 8-year old me would capture the loud joy of my BIG extended family. Little did I know...they were my training ground in photography. And I am happy to say that my approach to photography hasn't changed.

My fiancé and I are both very shy people, we do horribly in front of the camera, but literally from the moment we met Brandi for our engagement photoshoot she was amazing! Brandi is very good at what she does, truly a visionary! She was able to make us warm up - on a very cold San Francisco morning - she made us laugh, she is so great at telling us what poses we needed to do for our photos to come out great. Our engagement photos came out way better than we expected. We even have a confidence boost after seeing them. We cannot wait until our wedding day. We just know she will surprise us once again with her talent! Do not hesitate to book Brandi as your photographer! You will not regret one second!

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 Padron was a great fit for us. The moment we first contacted her, we knew that she would be our photographer. She traveled from PNW to Long Beach, California to shoot our wedding. She is a very good communicator and her response times were pretty fast. Veronica is very knowledgeable about weddings in general so she helped us understand the timeline and had suggestions for things, like our sparkler grand exit. We loved her personality and the way she made us feel like everything was going to be ok. She was amazing with our 4 year old son, especially when he was having a long tantrum (long day, no nap, 3 hr time change). Veronica helped to keep the night going without problems and worked very well with our other vendors. So far we've gotten a sneak peek just a week after our wedding and we are in love with her photos. The storytelling aspect is something we appreciate. We could not recommend Veronica more!!

I've never been much for tradition, so you can imagine weddings were never really my "thing" when I first picked up a camera. Luckily, I found that the wedding industry has been evolving away from the old cookie-cutter format and that is what keeps me doing what I do. My favorite weddings are the ones where you & your partner's personalities show throughout the day rather than getting lost in all the things you "have" to do. I love being part of a day filled with so much love & excitement and what I aim to do is find you in all of it. Because weddings aren't about fitting into a mold anymore - they're about you getting to celebrate your love.

In our search for a wedding photographer, Sarah's artistic style caught my eye right away. She offers a blended service of candid and semi-posed photographs which matched how we hoped to capture our wedding day moments. From our first phone call and in-person consultation, Sarah put us at ease. She helped organize our style preferences and 'must-capture' moments as we planned for the wedding. Her questionnaire helped bring focus in the planning phase and on the wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. I highly recommend Sarah's services, she has an eye for the little details you want to remember and she was discrete during the ceremony and reception while snapping candids (which I appreciated as someone who gets nervous in front of a camera!). We are so pleased with our photos and had a great time working together with Sarah.

Keith has a true talent for seeing through that and capturing us exactly as we had hoped. He is a one-of-a-kind photographer, and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories he was able to create for us on our special day. I would recommend Keith to absolutely everyone and would book him again in a heart beat.

Hiring Phil as my wedding photographer was the best decision i made for the wedding. He is so easygoing and my husband was like “ I would like to hang out with Phil after the wedding”. Not to mention his ability to capture emotions at the best angle, which makes me want to print out all his photos!

Regina K. Popova Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Petaluma, CA

My mission is to bring the luxury of high quality wedding photography to a more affordable price. To serve my couples completely to ensure that they have a stress free and fun wedding day. Everyone should receive the images that they dreamt of on their wedding day, and I believe that when your wedding starts off on the right foot, so does your marriage. And that? That should be a luxury that is available to everyone.

We highly recommend working with Regina! She is beyond talented and just the sweetest person with a huge heart. She made us feel at ease when taking photos both at our engagement shoot and wedding day. We feel so happy and grateful that we were able to have her on our big day. We felt like Regina really captured the day beautifully and knew just the things to do (and would go above and beyond) to get the best shot for us. We recommend her whole heartedly to all our friends and family!! She is truly the best and we feel like we walked away with not just the best photos but with a friend as well.

Fitz Carlile Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Petaluma, CA

The kind of work I do within the wedding photography genre is very distinct - every image stands on its own as a thoughtful composition as if from a cinematic art house film or high-end commercial/editorial shoot. My color grading is immediately identifiable and unique - developed through years of studying color theory - uncommon today in a sea of 'presets' that other photographers purchase on the internet for they have no knowledge of how to build their own. My compositions are often quirky, surprising, different. I always attempt to show a point of view that's uncommon and fascinating to the viewer.

Fitz Carlile is a master of light, and can make virtually any setting look like the most romantic place in the world. He immediately puts you at ease. We had to scrap our original wedding plans due to COVID-19, but Fitz remained a willing and enthusiastic participant through it all. Our recommendation to couples trying to plan weddings in this crazy time we've all found ourselves in? Go small. Don't cancel. And your photographer should be your number 1 priority. Photographs are the only concrete thing you'll own to remember your special day, and you will not be disappointed with Fitz. He's a true storyteller and his photos are magic.

As a photographer of life, love and beauty, Tara Arrowood does what she loves every day. She captures beauty in all things- people, animals, and spaces. Her main goal? It’s simply to make people happy. She uses her lens to show inner beauty, authentic emotions, and life’s precious/fleeting moments. Making people happy means giving them a different perspective, a different angle from which to see their most cherished moments in life. Tara offers photography and cinematography services for any sized wedding. Tell her your plans and she’ll create a schedule that includes everything to tell your story!

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly can’t recommend Tara and her team more highly. Not only is she an incredibly skilled and professional photographer who always captures that shot of a moment you never want to forget, she’s also a wonderfully kind, funny, and thoughtful person to work with. We first met when she shot engagement and wedding photos for my husband and I, and for years to come we reminisced about how great she was at taking beautiful photos and also wrangling wild, wiggly little kiddos. She even pitched in at our wedding and with a big smile on her face, bustled my enormous wedding dress — her assistant got a great photo of that! We were thrilled with how our photos turned out, as well as our 5 minute cinematic video which felt like the quality of an epic movie trailer of our special day. We were so happy to see her again for another family wedding years later, and most recently she took stunning and personal family photos with our little one. I’m already conjuring up another reason to work with Tara again because in addition to her gorgeous photos, she’s just a great person to be around.
