Tyler Wang Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,998
  • Serves Pleasant Hill, CA

Hi, I'm Tyler a professional photographer based in the SF Bay Area. I've been shooting portraits since 2009, when I visited Tibet with my dad on my middle school graduation trip. Ever since then, I've loved taking photos of people. Over the years I've developed my own style of photography to convey the feeling of the moment into my photos. My goal is to always create images that will stand the test of time.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tyler was truly a gift to have as part of our wedding. He very carefully, and effectively, cultivated perfect settings for photographs that didn’t feel cheesy. He really understood the importance of angles and worked hard to find each of our best. Really, so so many of his photographs ended up breathtaking. If I were to do it all over again, I would have Tyler by my side to document my momentous day!

Hi, I'm Carrie the lady behind the lens of CMG Imagery. I'm a photographer with twelve years wedding experience and a focus on natural light and storytelling. In my work, I am inspired to capture love and connection in a timeless and authentic way that will be cherished for years to come. I love creating images with movement that capture the heart and soul, the candid moments, the playfulness and personality. So get ready to adventure and let's tell your story!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Carrie was an incredible experience. My fiancé and I hired her to take our engagement pictures and they are better than I could have imagined - so good that we've also hired her to do our wedding in October! Carrie's eye for detail and her ability to capture the essence of every moment transformed ordinary scenes (our backyard, In n Out, and our favorite dive bar to name a few!) into life-long memories. I think what truly sets her apart is her ability to establish a genuine connection with her clients. Throughout the shoot, Carrie made me feel at ease, enabling both of us to express ourselves naturally, resulting in photographs that truly reflected our personalities and captured the perfect moments. I highly recommend this photographer to anyone seeking not only exceptional photographs but also a truly enjoyable and memorable experience.

Ditto Dianto Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Pleasant Hill, CA

I'm a fine art wedding photographer based in Northern California and beyond. After discovering my love for photography, I always knew I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. I am so fortunate to call this my job for over five years! My photography work often describe as romantic, soft, bright and natural that lend itself from my love of film look and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two Tabbies. I would absolutely love to get to know you and be your photographer!

Ditto and his assistant showed up early and started taking amazing photos right off the bat. The pre-wedding communication was timely. He was easy to work with and brought calm energy to a day when stress can permeate the fun out of it. We immediately received a high volume, beautiful sneak peak the evening after the wedding which was a fun surprise and a great way to start our honeymoon admiring the gorgeous photos. If you are considering Ditto Diante Photography for your wedding, I would highly recommend him.

The Ganeys 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Pleasant Hill, CA

I’ve always been the girl with the camera. In high school, my idea of a good time was planning photoshoots with my friends and editing our high school yearbook. But when I got to college, I felt like I needed to get a practical degree, so I chose the most creative business major I could find – marketing. Then I met Thomas. My photo hobby became something more because he recognized my passion and encouraged me to make it a reality. He’s been my second shooter since the very first wedding.

I've been putting off writing this review because I feel like no words can fully explain the amazing experience I had with the Ganeys. I first met Emily and Thomas when I was a bridesmaid in my friends' wedding in Florida, which the Ganeys were shooting! Based on that day and the resulting photos, I knew how talented this pair was and I REALLY wanted them for my own wedding. After getting engaged, I actually reached out to Emily before we even had a venue or date booked. Once they signed on to be our wedding photographers, my (already high) expectations were totally exceeded. I loved how organized, detailed-oriented, and responsive Emily was as we planned our engagement shoot and wedding day. At the engagement shoot, they did an amazing job including our 2 golden retrievers and shooting in sub-optimal weather conditions. Emily is so kind, thoughtful, and talented as a photographer, and Thomas is the secret ingredient that makes grooms everywhere feel at ease! This husband and wife team communicates so well and I believe that is part of the reason why they make their jobs look so effortless and fun on your wedding day and why the photos are so breathtaking. We can't wait to host Emily and Thomas at our house in a few weeks, and show off the way we've displayed their photos around the house!! I would be more than happy to share my full gallery and answer questions from any other brides/grooms considering the Ganeys.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Fox & Fig Photography is absolutely amazing! From the first time you meet Sarah, you can tell how much she cares about each of her clients. She goes above and beyond to get the shots that you want (including waking up at 3:30am to do a sunrise engagement shoot). Sarah also helped with the day of timeline and discussed the exact photos we wanted. On our wedding day, Sarah and her second shooter captured every detail our day and we cherish all of these memories. We are obsessed with our photos and Sarah as she handles herself with professionalism, grace, detailed, and fun. Hire Fox & Fig Photography and you will have ZERO regrets

Ryan Michaels Photography was a bit slow at communication, which is understandable since Ryan works a full-time job in addition to running his photography business. However, with a little patience, we were able to work through any delays. The quality of their work was beautiful, and they truly captured all the special moments of our wedding day. Ryan and his wife were friendly and enjoyable to work with, and their services were so comprehensive that we didn't even need to hire a wedding planner. Overall, we were thrilled with Ryan Michaels Photography and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Cassie Valente Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $9,750
  • Serves Pleasant Hill, CA

My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started working with Cassie, it felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. Cassie is so thoughtful, patient, and funny- and we got to experience that multiple times when we connected with her for our photography. We truly believe that her vision and personality is what makes her photos feel so authentic and filled with light love. As awkward people anxious about taking photos, we were so relieved how Cassie made us feel comfortable from the beginning of our engagement session. She was able to somehow fade into the background, while also guiding us and capturing genuine moments. We loved that photo session so much that we ended up hiring her for our welcome dinner as well! Cassie was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, making sure to get a list of our important shots ahead of the wedding while working closely with our planner to make sure there was a clear schedule. This meant that we could be as present as possible on our wedding day. On the big day, Cassie honestly felt more like a part of the wedding rather than simply a vendor. She knew how to make everyone comfortable, made sure the bridesmaids and groomsmen were having fun, and made the day feel natural for us. We got all of the wedding photos we wanted, and managed to even be AHEAD of schedule so we got to spend more time at our cocktail hour!!! Cassie’s photos capture the full range of emotions on the wedding day, because she’s able to connect deeply with her couples and understand what is important to them. Her style was something we gravitated to as we wanted a photographer who would not simply chronicle our event, but also capture the small details and genuine emotions that we might miss during the day. For both the engagement shoot and our wedding weekend, Cassie promptly delivered sneak peek highlights within a couple of days, and the full album within her initial estimate (8 weeks). She managed to capture the full essence of the day. Everytime we look at those photos, they bring us right back to those moments and feelings. We are so lucky and thankful to have had Cassie as our photographer. Hire her for your wedding! You will not regret it!!

Emily is amazing!!! She was able to photograph our welcome party and wedding day this past September. She was easy to communicate/coordinate with and such a sweet person. Emily helped curate a shot list and ensure all of our little moments were captured for the wedding weekend. Emily made us all feel at ease for all the event photos and did a great job hitting our "must haves" on our shot list. She was able to do a fun combo of Polaroid and digital photographs of our wedding weekend. Emily was quick with our sneak peak photos after the weekend and she did such a great job capturing all the fun! I would HIGHLY recommend her services for any big event

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for an AMAZING photographer that is kind and cares so deeply to make sure you get the photos of your dreams, you found her! Jasmine is literally so kind. I honestly think the best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Jasmine as our photographer. Before booking, Jasmine wanted to meet us via google meets to get to know each other before we made the decision of booking her. She asked for our love story and what we hope out of our wedding photos, and boy did she hit it right on the nail! She did an amazing job getting us photos we will cherish forever. She also told us her thoughts on having a first look (we were against it at first), and we decided to take her advice. Our first look was my favorite part of the entire wedding! A few days after our wedding, she gave us our sneak peeks, it was the PERFECT amount to keep us satisfied until we got the rest and of course they did not disappoint. We immediately printed out photos for our living room and printed out family portraits for each of our parents. When I think back to all the best parts of my wedding, Jasmine's photos captured it all for me. Thank you Jasmine for being the best photographer.

We’re Apollo Fotografie. When it comes to visual storytelling, we don’t miss a beat. We prioritize organization, punctuality, and beauty so your wedding day looks better than your dreams. At Apollo, inclusivity is one of our core values, and our couples come from all backgrounds. We know that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, and we’re here to help. All of our photographers use prompts and suggestions to encourage natural interactions for a less “scripted” feel.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Apollo capture our wedding day. We searched for a lot of different photographers. I wanted someone who can capture good (aka hot) bridal portraits and party pictures, and they DELIVERED. Our photos turned out so dreamy, classic, and timeless. Like seriously--I want to post them everywhere! We’ve gotten so many compliments on them. There was a little change-up, as the photographer was switched from the owner to a lead photographer Jess, but honestly, it worked out perfectly because she was such a good sport the entire day, hyped us up so much, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. That was not easy to do since we had what seemed like a million events that day. Overall they were just great to work with. We're so happy we found them. Would definitely recommend!
