Destinations with Dana 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Poway, CA for additional fees

As a wedding photographer, my connection to my couples is more important to me than anything else. Serving couples getting married in dreamy wedding locations, whether it’s a vineyard in Carmel Valley or a beach wedding in Monterey, fills my heart with so much joy. It’s always a thrill to return to venues I love, but with nearly 100 weddings in my portfolio, it still surprises me how different each and every wedding day truly is. The menu you choose, the music you dance to, the color palette that inspires you - it all comes together on your wedding day to tell your story.

Hiring Dana Arnold was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. She was not only professional throughout the entire process, but felt like a friend for during the entirety of our wedding day. The moments she captured for our day (and engagement pictures) were so perfect. We would highly recommend Dana for any photography needs because she will exceed your expectations.

Because those are the moments that make a life + I'm here to document your love and life how it looks and really feels.

Lauren was so on top of things when it came to the actual shoot! She came prepared with anything we may need - safety pins, bobby pins, a blanket to set on so my dress wouldn't get dirty, and even feminine products!! She already had poses in mind for us to do and knew what would look good and what wouldn't, but she also encouraged us to be ourselves and caught the most beautiful candid moments. She took into consideration that we wanted pictures up close of us as well as further out to capture the beauty of our surroundings. She made us feel comfortable and there was never an awkward moment. She is so sweet, thoughtful and talented!! The pictures turned out SO so great and I'm more than happy with the results. I would 10/10 recommend Lauren to anyone as their wedding photographer as well as a photographer for other occasions! She is by far the BEST!!

The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture!

As newbies to the whole couple photography process, my husband and I were a bit nervous, but Will made the experience easy, fun, and inspiring for us! And most importantly, we loved how these photos turned out. The gallery they were delivered through was easy to use and share! Due to the COVID travel restrictions, many family and friends couldn’t join us. These photos helped capture the special moments and tell the story for us in a much more vivid way!

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

Caroline is one of the greatest people. She was kind, observant, and extremely professional. Not to mention her work completely speaks for itself. Our previews are absolutely beautiful- she really made our photos a keepsake and I am so happy we were able to work with her.

Mist of Morning Photography

  • Serves Poway, CA for additional fees

I've had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember; I used it like a pocket journal of sorts and photographed constantly while growing up in Hawai'i. I fell into weddings when my dad remarried in 2013, and I remember being caught off guard by the swirl of emotions I felt standing at the edge of a new beginning. Turning those feelings into tangible memories was the only thing that made sense. I moved to New York City to refine my skillset and took a detour into the fashion industry before receiving my Bachelor's in photography from NYU.

There’s something truly special about meeting, working with, and befriending Natalie. Her work initially caught our eye through a friend. We loved how comprehensively she told the story of their wedding and the unique unexpected moments she captured, how easy-going her subjects looked, and the expert use of lighting to accentuate or soften depending on the shot. Luckily for us, our experience with Natalie delivered the same magic. First, it’s important to know that in addition to her talent, artistic eye, and perfect execution, she is incredibly patient, understanding, and comforting – everything you want during the planning process and the day of your wedding. From the moment we had our first call, we felt like she understood what we wanted and trusted her to turn our various impulses and desires into a cohesive vision. Throughout the process, she helped push us along to make decisions at the right time (without rushing us) and she even took the extra step of meeting all of our other vendors and creative partners – making us feel like we had a real harmonious team working together. The weekend of, she was always in the right place at the right time, knowing when to blend in and when to provide needed direction. She put thoughtful consideration into every photo she took (accounting for different group dynamics, environmental elements, activities, etc) and calmly and effortlessly organized our friends and family to get in all the important photos before and after the ceremony. She made us feel so comfortable on the big day, and does so many little things well that are hard to appreciate until you're there and it's all happening. By the end of our wedding weekend, she truly felt like an integral part of our wedding story and community. And of course the photos were incredible! Neither of us feel like we're very photogenic, but thanks to her calming presence and great direction/guidance (pose, posture, setting!), she put us at ease and captured us, our guests, and the overall vibe so well. Many of our friends have commented on the “elevated” and “editorial” quality to our photos and have expressed interest in working with her as well. Every time we look through our photos we notice something new and are transported back to the feeling of the day, and we’ll be forever grateful to Natalie. We couldn’t recommend or trust her more and advise that anyone considering her services jumps on the opportunity before her calendar fills up!

Hi, I’m Stacie! After initially going to a photography school for architectural photography, I quickly learned I had a passion for human connection and a natural ability for making people feel at ease. Once I photographed my first wedding I was smitten. Now over a decade later I still absolutely love what I do. I am passionate about creating beautiful photographs that are sincere, meaningful, full of emotion, and feel like you. I want you to be able to look back on your wedding photographs year after year and remember all the emotions - the laughter, the tears of joy, and the love.

I cannot even begin to describe how incredible of a job Stacie did for our engagement & wedding photos! Not only is she extremely talented and professional when it comes to photography, she is also an incredible person inside and out. My husband and I are somewhat shy when it comes to having our pictures taken but Stacie made us feel comfortable and confident. Your wedding photos are something you’ll cherish forever, so it was important to me and my husband that we prioritized a good photographer and Stacie far exceeded that expectation. We have so many amazing photos of not only just ourselves but everyone at our wedding which is special to us. We highly recommend Stacie with Vitae Weddings!!

Hiya, I am Vital (pronounces Vee-tal), and I am a 20 something guy with a camera in my hands and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall even more in love with my job. My fiancee and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel domestically and abroad, and I can't imagine life without photos. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Awarded Best of Zola
There were so many great things about working with Vital that I hardly know where to start. We booked him through Zola after going through an overwhelming number of photographers’ portfolios— many beautiful pictures, but none of them felt like “us”. My husband and I are both camera shy and felt very strongly that we didn’t want to spend the whole day posing; Vital completely understood and delivered. From the first communications, he made us feel heard, understood, and supported. We met him for a small engagement shoot in our neighborhood to get acquainted before the big day, and he even brought a Polaroid camera after hearing our first photo together was a Polaroid— just an extremely thoughtful and personal touch that really encapsulates the way Vital works. Leading up to the wedding he was incredibly easy to get in touch with, even sending us questionnaires to understand exactly what we hoped to get out of our day (and what we like about each other as partners). I left feeling like he really wanted to understand US and deliver the photos WE wanted— versus some stock lineup of pictures you’d expect at a wedding. On the day of the wedding he showed up early, was totally prepared, and got to work without instruction. My husband and I were able to relax, soak in the memories, and completely forget a photographer was even there. And the results! He delivered our previews within days, had the full gallery ready in weeks, and the photos were gorgeous. He captured so many little moments that I would’ve otherwise missed. He got so many wonderful candid shots of us, our families, and our friends. Each picture is packed with feeling and energy. It was more than we could’ve dreamed of, and we’ve looked at them over and over since they were delivered. Getting the right photographer for your wedding is a huge decision, but if I had it to do over again I’d book Aesthetic Sabotage without question.

  • Serves Poway, CA for additional fees

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Harrison surpassed our expectations with his close attention to detail, capturing every moment beautifully. We're a slightly awkward couple, but he was professional and made us very comfortable taking our formals after the ceremony. Highly reccommend for those in search of a very talented photographer who is great with people.

Hi! I’m Gabriela, but you can call me Gaby! I’ve been a photographer and storyteller for more than seven years. It’s something I’ve always been passionate about… Creating Art. I know love, I know how deep it is and I can see the undeniable connection between two people. I’ve always believed we all should love WITHOUT FEAR. I want my photography to be a storytelling, natural, authentic, and timeless piece of art that reflects what’s truly there. To make love transcend the screen and make people feel it, because… Love has NO BOUNDARIES.

Finding the right wedding photographer was incredibly important to us. We needed someone whose style and art matched our vision. Thankfully we found Gabriela. As soon as we saw her work and explored her page we knew she was a perfect fit. With our wedding being a destination wedding, communication was no issue. She made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. On our wedding day Gaby was amazing!! She blended into the background capturing all the special moments without us even noticing. I'm so glad we were able to enjoy our day without having to think of photos we needed since Gaby was able to capture every smile, hugs and intimate moments. After the wedding Gaby was so quick with delivering sneak peek photos and even quicker with the finished gallery. Each picture brings us back to that day, and we can feel the emotions all over again. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabriela for your special day. Thank you so much for giving us such wonderful memories to last us forever.

Welcome! With over a decade of experience, I've had the privilege of capturing beautiful moments at weddings and events across the country. I approach each celebration with dedication, aiming to not only take photographs as they unfold in front of me, but also create an enjoyable experience for you. My photography style combines photojournalism and elegant portraiture to produce images that genuinely reflect the personal details, emotions, and uniqueness of your special occasion.

This October, I worked with Elope in Monterey to have a small wedding with my immediate family in attendance. I feel so unbelievably lucky that Catherine was my photographer! I showed up to my wedding without ever meeting Catherine, but her warmth and friendliness made me feel comfortable immediately. As someone who is pretty shy in front of the camera (same goes for my partner), I was surprised by how comfortable I felt in front of Catherine's lens. She really let us be ourselves and joyfully captured all the silliness that makes us who we are. I also really appreciated her helpful directions and tips for posing, which she always delivered kindly. Catherine really made us feel like she was so happy to be there and for me, that really made my experience so pleasant and memorable! Even though our package only included 60 minutes of photography, she never made us feel rushed and she really went the extra mile to get us a large variety of shots and made sure we had many photos in various configurations of our group! I've received our photos, and they are stunning! I cannot thank Catherine enough for capturing the joy of our special day!

Welcome to my page! I am a wedding and elopement photographer from sunny central florida! I know many people can feel uncomfortable in front of the camera but I am here to change that! I always try to become friends with my couples versus just a vendor because I feel like that makes the day go so much smoother. If you want a photographer thats there to help you get ready but also ready to party on the dance floor then look no further! I find the best photos are taken when you become a part of the wedding versus standing on the sidelines.

Dominique is a joy to work with and has an incredible eye for detail. Through the multiple times we have worked together on projects and styled shoots I have come to know Dominique has kind, easy to work with, positive, committed, and talented. The photos that she captured of the couples that we worked with were truly stunning and some of my absolute favorite. The couples loved working with her and I continue to recommend her to my couples. You will LOVE her.

Hello! My name is Brenda and I've resided in SoCal all of my life. Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
I love photos and photography was one of my must have, high quality items for our wedding. Our original photographer had to back out (with plenty of time and notice) so we found ourselves back at the drawing board several months before the wedding. I found Brenda and loved that her images showed a diverse clientele - as a plus size bride with a SO over 6’ tall, that was something that really mattered to me. By the end of our Zoom meeting I wanted to hug her! I felt confident she was the right fit. When the big day came around, not only was her presence instantly calming (things had already been going wrong that morning) but she was incredibly helpful every step of the way, including trying to find a dropped earring, closing my necklace because everyone’s nails were too long, making sure I had space to take a break when my nerves overwhelmed me. We just got some of our sneak peeks in and wow…I’m crying all over again. She captured moments between my SO and I so beautifully, you can feel the love we have for each other. It sounds cliche, but it’s true! Not only were we pleased with Brenda, our guests and wedding party all had such kind things to say about her - how many weddings have you gone to and complimented the photographer, as a guest?! If her style is one that you like, don’t hesitate to hire Brenda. I can’t wait to take more photos with her as we grow old. She was an important part of our day and, for me, the best person to have by my side throughout the chaotic day. I was so happy to have her as part of our adventurers club.

Ashley is a top-tier wedding photographer. We did an engagement session with her prior to booking her for the wedding, and she was quick to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. After booking the wedding with her, Ashley gave us many vendor recommendations and even helped us find our officiant since that was something that we were struggling with. At some point between the engagement session and wedding, Ashley called us and told us that a conflict with our wedding date came up and that she needed to be out of state that day. She had already come up with a few options to present to us, and we chose to keep our contract and let a different photographer fill-in for Ashley. Ashley knew this photographer, had worked with her before, and trusted her. And we trusted Ashley. Having the other photographer fill-in for Ashley worked out seamlessly and I was never worried about it because of all of the discussions we had. The week before the wedding we had a final consult call with Ashley & the other photographer where we discussed every last detail. This was great because it put us all on the same page, plus let us voice our opinion on a few topics (timeline details/what types of photos to prioritize/etc.). I left this call feeling confident that the photographer knew what needed to be done on the day of the wedding and that I wouldn't have to worry whatsoever that she would miss anything. I would book Ashley all over again EVEN if I knew that she wouldn't be the one actually taking the photos!

I bet you can’t guess what their names are. I absolutely love being there to capture all moments in life… especially weddings.

Marissa was so helpful in helping us determine what packages would be most helpful for us based on our wants and the day of the wedding, she was helpful and professional. The pictures she took were amazing and better than we could have imagined! We've had her since take other headshots and couples photos. We trust her with our photographic memories!

We loved everything about working with Natalie from start to finish and couldn’t recommend The Finding Co enough! We loved their style as soon as we saw their work and loved that they seemed to capture the details, small moments, and emotion of the day so well. they fully delivered on that! Our wedding day was a bit rainy/misty which seriously limited the spaces where we could shoot group photos. Natalie adapted so quickly to the poor lighting and tight spaces and really embraced the misty atmosphere to create timeless but creative shots. We love our photos SO much and they truly capture not just the aesthetics of the day but the love, fun, and emotion. Natalie and her second shooter Danielle were such a pleasure to have around us the whole day. They were present but still blended into the background seamlessly. You won’t regret working with them!

I understand that your wedding is one of the most significant days of your life, and I’m committed to making it memorable. With an eye for detail and a knack for storytelling, I specialize in delivering a blend of documentary style images and classic portraits that reflect your unique love story.

Where do I even begin with this review?! Jennifer has been an absolute gift to work with throughout our wedding planning process, and now that we just go our sneak peeks back, we know we made the right choice with her! We did not use Jennifer for our engagement pictures, so I knew I was taking a risk when hiring her as our wedding day photographer. I was confident with what I saw on social media and our email correspondence ensured me that she would make a great fit for us. She was communicative along the entire way and was intentional when asking for our shot list. On the day of, it was very clear that she was very purposeful in capturing all of my preferred shots and made a dedicated effort to be present for each moment of the day. Jennifer was very professional and both her and her second shooter, Alex, found fun and creative ways to capture unique imagery from our ceremony and reception. She was attentive to our needs as a couple, made lots of great photo recommendations, and did not push us to do any pictures/poses we weren't into. Jennifer knew we wanted to be a part of cocktail hour and was happy to accommodate all of our formal pictures before the ceremony. She was discreet during the ceremony and captured lots of wonderful group shots at the reception. A week before the event she was happy to add on a few additional hours from our original contract. I truly cannot recommend her enough!
