  • Serves Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

In 2013, I took the camera from the photographer I was assisting at a wedding and haven't been able to put it down since. I believe capturing some of the most memorable moments in a couple's life is an honor and a privilege. My passion is fueled by the thought that the bride and groom will be able to look back on these images and relive one of the best days of their lives. The love, joy, camaraderie, and coming together of families to celebrate is electrifying, and photographing that energy gives me purpose. I never anticipated being a photographer, but im so happy photography found me.

From our very first interaction with Zej Radke Imagery, we were impressed by their clear, concise, and assertive communication style. Their compassionate, professional, and respectful approach put us at ease, and their innovative techniques allowed them to capture every special moment of our wedding day. Zej was incredibly friendly and made us feel like we were working with a close friend rather than just a photographer. He went above and beyond to ensure that he documented our day perfectly. We highly recommend Zej Radke Imagery for any occasion - their exceptional service and beautiful, high-quality work make them an outstanding choice for your wedding and pre-wedding shoot!

I could not recommend her more, she’s a fricken artist!!!!!!!

After 10 years of shooting I can tell you happily that I still think I somehow got away with having the best job in the world. I adore being able to photograph the moments of life that make it worth living. Weddings, birth, family, there are concentrated amounts of love in these moments and being able to give someone a way to hold on to that visually is absolutely wonderful.

Christy is a true professional - she is meticulous, creative, and a master of her craft. She captured my husband and I so authentically for both our engagement and wedding photos. She and her team were responsive, professional and accommodating from start to finish. Christy remained calm and composed despite the summer heat, family chaos, and various photo requests throughout the night. She made us the priority and ensured we felt comfortable and taken care of. We intend to hire her a million more times for life events worth capturing! Can’t recommend her enough.

She's an artist and a team player, which is more important than you can imagine when you're working with so many vendors and so many different personalities.

  • Serves Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Hi you guys, my name's Natalie, & I'm so glad you're here! I’m a joy-filled, Southern California surfer girl who is in love with capturing weddings.  My style? It’s timeless, romantic, adventuresome, & personal. I’m dedicated to capturing fine elegance + raw beauty all the while keeping it real + being authentic. Your job is to be in love & live in that excitement with each other. My job is to make it easy + enjoyable for you two to be yourselves, 100%, as I frame and capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments in a way that only my mind can. Congratulations to you both! Looking forward to getting to know each other! xx Natalie

Natalie is the most professional, genuine, and talented wedding photographer. I promise you that you cannot and simply will not find a lovelier, more generous, or more brilliant person to help you sidestep stress and make the wedding planning process and wedding day a joy. At our wedding, three different people asked me if I'd later share her contact information with them for whenever they got married. Just think about that for a moment: three people were so blown away by Natalie's warmth, energy, and beautiful, bubbly personality that they would hire her on the spot without having yet seen her stunning work and even though they weren't engaged. Natalie's smile brightens up an entire room, and she has a truly remarkable way of making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. She'll make you laugh, she'll keep your energy up, she'll capture the moments you dreamed would one day hang on your walls, and most of all, she will make you feel like your day, your marriage, and your love are the center of the entire world. This gift of her presence and love is extraordinary, and I promise you that it extends beyond anything you could ever hope or expect to receive from any wedding vendor. I cried when she sent us our photos because they are so profoundly beautiful and so full of the true emotion that she naturally drew from even the most reserved of our family members. Every photo was so natural and full of light and joy. Natalie has so much talent, and if you're one of her brides you'll quickly realize how lucky you are to have someone care so deeply about you and about capturing your special day. Before our wedding, Natalie spoke with me over email and on the phone, sent a thoughtful questionnaire to help us articulate our aesthetic and photography hopes, sent a quick engagement gift, and even checked in over text to make sure I was doing well the week before the wedding. After the wedding, she sent cute thank you gifts and GORGEOUS photos (you will love yours too!). But my favorite memory will always be from our wedding day when she took a moment to dance with my shy 5 year old nephew and draw him out of his shell so he could enjoy the party. The huge smile on his face will always be one of my most precious moments of our wedding day. My nephew, like so many of our guests, still ask about Natalie all the time. It was a pleasure to work with Natalie and to get to know her, and I hope you too will be fortunate to experience Natalie's light, love, and unparalleled talent.

Becca Maas Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

I'm Becca, a midwest transplant in Los Angeles (yes, one of those people), wife/homebody, Christian, and newfound happy plant lady. My day is made whenever I see a cat, I cycle through re-watch binges of my favorite shows constantly, and I always have something home-baked on hand in my kitchen. I’m pretty used to third-wheeling it and am excited to be any couple’s wedding day companion and new lifelong friend & coffee date!

Choosing Rebecca for our engagement session was one of the best first decisions we have ever made as we started our journey to our big day. Rebecca was absolutely the right person to capture all of our unadulterated and perfect moments. She was very professional with how she listened to the elements that we wanted for the background. Since my fiance and I came from the Philippines, we wanted photos that were unique with the beach and palm trees of California. She worked with the idea and found options for the shoot. She was also very mindful of the weather forecast and made the right decision to cancel when she knew it was going to rain on the date we initially chose. Rebecca did not only produce beautiful photos with her eye for detail and talent to blend light and nature, she captured our character as a couple. It is rare to find someone like that. Photographers can point and shoot but for someone who will be able to be at that exact moment and see the REAL you as a couple is priceless. We had great conversations during the shoot and it felt like we were out for a walk with a long time friend. I highly recommend Rebecca for her professionalism, punctuality, passion and heart.

I am a fine art wedding and elopement photographer based out in Los Angeles, CA. I’m passionate about telling love stories through photographs in the most beautiful and meaningful way. Love stories are an infinite source of inspiration to me and I believe that the most magical images are made up of connection, emotion, and light. I wholeheartedly believe that you should live in the moments you want to remember forever and we feel so grateful to have the opportunity to work with such incredible couples who have the same approach to love and values that we share.

I would 10 out of 10 recommend Jennifer to all my friends and family! She is just so sweet and amazing. My husband and I have never done professional photos before and she made it so easy going. She first did out engagement shoot and we had so much fun. We both felt very comfortable in front of the camera. Jennifer is also very punctual. She also shot our elopement in Santa Barbara, we got sneak peaks back that same day ( how amazing, right?) and when we received all the photos about 3-4 weeks later, we were BLOWN away. Looking at the pictures made it feel like we were reliving the moment again, I am so so so happy that I chose to have her do our pictures, they truly are amazing and I cant wait to frame them for my home.

Hi I'm Rachel! I'm based in Los Angeles, CA and I love photographing people in love. It a passion of mine to tell the unique stories of my couples and capture them in a way that is authentic, true and beautiful. I mainly shoot in natural light I love the outdoors! But I know how to work lighting for indoor scenarios. My editing style can be described as moody, warm and film like with subtle grain and contrast. Most my clients praise me as really easy to work with and holds space to make them comfortable and look their best!

We loved working with Rachel from beginning to end. She takes beautiful photos and I am obsessed with her color processing, but aside from the product itself, she’s a lovely presence to have on such an important day. My husband hates having his photo taken and even he was relaxed and enjoyed the process. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat.

Symboll® Wedding Photo & Video

  • Serves Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Symboll® is a team of Wedding Photographers and Videographers based in Los Angeles and San Francisco. We meet at the intersection of Art and Weddings, where a vision exists only in your mind, and we respect the responsibility of turning it into a reality.

We are so glad to have found Symboll to be our wedding photographer and videographer. We wanted unique photos and videos with a clean editing style that wouldn’t appear overly filtered, and Symboll checked every one of those boxes. We opted for the C2 package with RED videography, which was priced incredibly competitively considering the quality of work. Additionally, it came with up to 10 hours of coverage by default whereas most other vendors we looked at typically offered 8 hours. Working with them was a breeze. It started with messaging their client managers Christian and Attila who broke down their transparent and simple pricing structure. After payment, they sent a helpful questionnaire not only to help Symboll get to know us, but also allow us to narrow down what we wanted. They were always super quick to respond to our questions, and we never felt lost along the process. We were ultimately connected with Shant as our photographer and Misha as our videographer, and we were so lucky to have them on our wedding day. Both were incredibly professional, kind, and overall joys to work with. Importantly, our wedding happened to fall on a day with suboptimal weather (end of March 2024). It rained heavily for much of the day, and we had booked a largely outdoor venue (Rancho Las Lomas). Despite this, Shant and Misha were incredibly flexible to the wet conditions. These unique circumstances also highlighted the strength of Symboll’s creativity, as Shant and Misha took advantage of the storm to create some incredibly cinematic shots of us. We were so glad to have chosen Symboll when we saw our photos, since we are confident that few other photographers/videographers would have been able to leverage our unfavorable weather conditions like Shant and Misha did. Because of the weather, they were unable to use their drone to capture our day, but they provided us with a teaser reel video in addition to our feature film. Final photos came out beautifully and the short film came back in such a timely manner. We are so happy with the results!

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.

The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Leslie is an absolute gem. If you're reading this review and considering Leslie as a photographer, don't hesitate.. book her now!! Leslie was our elopement photographer at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and made us feel so comfortable. And in some way, she also saved the day of our elopement! She went out of her way to notify us of an big-rig crash in SB in which would increase our drive time and to make sure we plan accordingly. Leslie also gave us tips, where to park, and even flagged us down when we got to the courthouse and we made it JUST in time for our appointment. Her work is a also a testament of how talented she is. From her vision, guidance through to the delivery of photos.. everything was flawless. Leslie really cares and goes above and beyond for her clients. I hope to work with her again someday!

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

I don't know how else to say this, but my husband and I are THE most awkward people when it comes to photos. We forget how to smile, we never know where to look, and we don't know what to do with our hands... or faces. We had a different photographer for our engagement photos and I didn't like the way 99% of them came out. We looked uncomfortable and awkward. I emailed Cassy about how uncomfortable we are in front of a camera and she called me to reassure me that she would be able to give us direction and make sure all the photos turned out great. We had a tiny micro wedding on the beach during covid with just our immediate family. I hired a picnic company to set up a tiny ceremony and hors d'oeuvres. Cassy captured all the details of the set up beautifully. My in-laws wanted a coffee table book of our wedding photos, and it was so hard to pick just a few. We got so many incredible photos! Our couples shots look like something in a magazine. She made it so fun, we never felt weird or uncomfortable. Cassy had these little tips and tricks and she'd get genuine laughter and smiles out of us. There were no forced smiles or awkward faces. When I look at my photos, it brings back all the memories of laughter and joy on our special day. I'm so grateful we found her! All our photos are light, airy, and perfect. Thank you so much, Cassy!

I cannot recommend Emily enough! We found her a few months out from the wedding and did a call to talk about our budget and our vision for our wedding. Emily was so accommodating, shaping a photography and videography package that fit us perfectly! On our wedding day she was incredibly hard working and well prepared. She makes everyone she meets feel comfortable, confident and beautiful in their pictures! On top of honoring our "shot list" and getting all of my top priorities taken care of, Emily scoped out the venue and came up with fun locations and ideas that we hadn't considered! She also played with traditional photography, shooting on film, and polaroids all of which gave us unique looks that we love! If you're looking for a skilled, artistic, and friendly photographer, you've found her!

Kristen was a joy to work with from start to finish!! She was so kind and intentional during the entire process, and she and Ryan helped put my normally shy husband into such a comfortable mood during our engagement session, and then again on our wedding day! Kristen easily felt like part of the bridal party with her fun personality. She coordinated the timeline so well without being pushy or impatient. She cried and laughed with the group through the whole day and captured the sweetest moments. Her work on my wedding day was absolutely beautiful, and we will treasure these photos for years to come! You won’t regret hiring her team for your big day!
