Loren Hansen Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Saint Helena, CA

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

Lisa Stone Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Saint Helena, CA

If you would have known me growing up, you would have been surprised if I didn’t become a photographer! I fell in love with photography after spending countless hours in the darkroom. Since 2008, I have been working professionally in the photography industry and have shot over 300 weddings and numerous other assignments in almost every genre of photography. Why Weddings? I love problem solving and puzzles, and I’m always up for a good challenge. For me, a wedding is a day full of all of the things that I love. Its basically a whole day of coming up with solutions to make the best photographs for my couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lisa is always a pleasure to work with; a true team player. When working with other wedding professionals at an event, she is aware and respectful of the needs of the other professionals and does her part to ensure that we are all successful. I've seen her photos from a number of the events we've worked at together and they are truly amazing. Lisa is so good at capturing "happiness" -- that exact moment when the smiles are perfect, yet candid. Her photos truly convey the emotion of the moment. I've recommended her many times to clients and friends looking for a photographer.

We're so excited to hear about your wedding plans and to start chatting-- we'll do our best to get back to you within 24 hours.

I wish I could leave 10 stars. We were both feeling a little sheepish about having an engagement shoot as we didn’t want pictures that looked super staged/forced. Well that was not an issue at all, Lauren and Jamie make you feel so at ease that you’ll want to be their best friends by the end of the shoot! They were down for every suggestion and worked with all the differing weather conditions that SF threw at us that day. They even made sure to get some great pictures that included our pup! They sent us sneak peeks so quickly and the full album of photos was ready in record time! I cannot tell you how many people have asked us who took our photos! They turned out so lovely and I am so excited to have found such a wonderful team and I can’t wait to continue using them in the future!

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Saint Helena, CA
  • Offer

Hey there! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma + Worldwide! I travel everywhere. I love capturing magical outdoor weddings—whether it’s a dreamy garden, a historic home, a charming winery, or a private estate hidden in the woods (I'm basically the Indiana Jones of weddings). My couples often say how comfortable I make them feel, how I capture the real moments without being intrusive, and how much fun they have during our shoots. I’m obsessed with the details and love when couples pour their hearts into making their wedding day unforgettable.

Vanessa photographed our outdoor wedding. Although lighting es a challenge, Vanessa's great eye made all of the pictures perfect. She was professional, nice and a good communicator.

Aryk Copley Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,350
  • Serves Saint Helena, CA

Welcome! My name is Aryk, I’m a self-taught artist who built my skills from the ground up. My experience in photojournalism and street photography combined with my love of fine art are the foundation of my style. My approach to weddings is that of a documentarian and a witness. My couples are folks who value quality and intimacy, and want their wedding day illustrated with a unique album filled with artful candids, punctuated by breathtaking fine art portraiture.

Awarded Best of Zola
Aryk is one of a kind. Our wedding was so beautifully captured thanks to them. As a wedding photographer myself, it was important for me to find someone that excelled not just in the technical aspects, but in the overall experience they provide their couples. Aryk always made me and Noah feel comfortable and listened to. They're sensible, communicative, professional, courteous, and always engaged. Always going with the flow, Aryk can adapt to change while still providing excellent results. We appreciated how Aryk's photography method provided us with a one-of-a-kind gallery: a blend of film and digital, all showcasing the genuine emotions I so desperately wanted captured, and in such a beautiful way. Our families and friends are STILL so in awe of the photos we came out with thanks to them. We love you Aryk!!

We couldn't be happier with the team at B&T. From the very first call with James, he put my husband and I at ease. I knew immediately that we made the right decision.

I am a Mother, Poet and never-ending dog trainer of my 3 spoiled fur babies. I grew up around photography, my grandfather was a photographer and this has always been something I loved to do. I love people and I have a ton of fun working at events. I am always excited to capture these moments for people and proud to share my results afterward. Photographing people and moments over the years is my true calling in life. Gives me great purpose and I really do enjoy it.

Serving Healdsburg, Napa, Sonoma and the Bay Area Easy and fun, like all weddings should be. (The stress stops here.) If I know you like I think I do, you’re getting married in Wine Country because you know it’s a place you’ll get taken care of. It’s a town full of hospitality and warmth. And let’s not forget the great wine, the perfect scenery, and the memories you’ll have forever because you two came here to say “I do.” You’ll have those moments because I’ll document them for you. And I can’t wait.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephanie is amazing. She is so warm and comforting. She made us feel at ease. She has an eye for lighting and textures. She is there for you and wants to make sure you get everything you want. She is upbeat and bubbly. She was very organized and professional. We didn't have our flowers for our first looks so she ran and got them for us while the 2nd shooter took photos so we didn't waste anytime. I am so happy she did because the pictures came out beautifully. Thank you for everything!

My love for photography sparked from a deeply personal place—watching my children grow up way too quickly and wanting to capture those fleeting moments before they slipped away. This journey turned into a passionate calling, and now, I look to bring a documentary and cinematic style to every session I have with my clients. As a quiet queer and a loud LGBTQIA+ advocate—everyone is welcome in front of my lens. My priority is creating a safe space for my clients where they feel they can express themselves freely so I can capture the uniqueness that makes them - them.

We couldn’t have even imagined how beautiful our wedding photos would come out and Aubrey fulfilled our wedding photo dreams! She was very focused and captured every important detail! Even ones I had over looked! Was super patient with our families shenanigans and handled it with such grace!

Niki Scioli Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Saint Helena, CA

My goal and passion is to caption the beauty of such a special occasion in a way that brings out the personality of those participating. I want their loving souls to shine through in my photos, and capture their true selves.

Niki was absolutely wonderful to work with and her photos are gorgeous. She photographed our intimate, family wedding in Calistoga, CA at the end of March. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. She absolutely understood my vision despite me being unable to articulate it at all. On the day of the wedding, she was on time, professional, and fit in right away with our family. She gave direction (that we needed) without being overbearing. She captured so many special moments that I didn't even realize she was photographing until I looked at the photos later. She turned her photos around very quickly and kept me updated on the progress. The photos were absolutely GORGEOUS. She made me (and the everyone else, but let's be honest, it's about the bride) feel and look so beautiful. Thank you, Niki!!

Melissa Atle

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Saint Helena, CA

After 10 years and over 200 weddings, I know how to fold into a large group of people, how to be there and make it feel like I'm not. I've been documenting weddings for nearly a decade and I love it even more now than when I started. My work is candid, emotional, and comfortable. I love to infuse editorial and documentary moments into my galleries, but mostly I just love to be able to photograph moments as they unfold.

It’s been a year since our wedding and I still look at the photos Melissa captured of us on a daily basis. When we were going through the painstaking process of planning and budgeting for our wedding, photos were at the top of my list in terms of their importance. Enter Melissa—we met a year and a half before our wedding day when she took our engagement photos and it was basically love at first sight. We felt so incredibly comfortable with her almost immediately and by the end of our session, we were bantering and joking around like old friends. Flash forward to our wedding day—not only did Melissa take gorgeous photos of our ceremony, first look, reception, etc, but she was a support system and that is something that is truly invaluable on one of the biggest days of your life. I can’t recommend her more.

Amy Little Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Saint Helena, CA

I'm Amy, chief picture taker, head editor, dubious web designer, and volunteer animal hugger at Amy Little Photography. Work is always fun because I'm never far from snacks and never close to snakes. Taking pretty pictures is easy. But documenting the honest, emotionally raw, and laugh-out-loud, because you didn't know that happened pictures is where I really shine. Photographing hundreds of weddings has deepened my joy of authentic storytelling. It's also been a catalyst for my cake addiction so I hope you're cool with being an enabler.

When I was looking at photographer portfolios, what I paid attention to most was how they captured candids. Could the joy, love, and excitement of the days shine through? Literally no one could compete with Amy Little there! She has an incredible talent for capturing the sweet moments that make a wedding special. Then I talked to her, and we instantly vibed. She even made my fiance lighten up and feel comfortable -- a herculean task! On top of that, she made us look and feel stunning. She taught us two awkward penguins how to model and let our true selves show on film. I still don't know how she did it! And on the day of, she not only was solving problems like a boss, she turned her creative eye into some jawdroppingly beautiful creative pictures in the rain. She's a genius, and I couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out.

Hey, My name is Boris and I'm stoked you are here. I'm passionate about creating authentic visual memories for humans who are madly in love with each other, so they can travel back in time and relive the deepest moments of their lives. I can't wait to hear your story!

We LOVED working with Boris for our wedding photos! He was incredibly kind and thoughtful from the very start. We felt comfortable with him almost immediately, and he was really deliberate about remembering details about us, even just from one conversation. At our wedding, even our guests commented to us about how he somehow managed to be everywhere at once -- he didn't miss a single moment! We got our pictures in a timely manner, and what's more, they are LOVELY! We really enjoyed working with him, adore his photos, and would hire him again in a heartbeat.
