Ever Changing Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves San Carlos, CA for additional fees

We are a mom/son team that prides ourselves on being storytellers capturing authentic, emotive, genuine moments shared on your special day. We strive to document the major memories and moments in-between,creating a visual narrative that couples can cherish & reminisce for a lifetime.

Where to start? During the first phone call with Sarah, even after we told her we were interviewing multiple photographers, she offered us pointers and advice to consider when choosing our photographer, not her as the photographer, but OUR photographer. From the beginning she wanted to ensure that we had the best fit for us. She went above and beyond by coming to our venues prior to the wedding to "get the feel" of what she would need to capture the perfect moments. On the day of the wedding (when it was pure chaos) she adapted quickly, efficiently and went with the flow. Sarah and Ben are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and have a wonderful sense of humor. All of the photos they took are amazing and very unique. The emotion captured by each photo brought us to laughter or tears, but both in a good way! We could not have picked a better photographer, and we cannot thank them enough for all they did!

I am a passionate Boho Upstate NY wedding photographer dedicated to capturing the love between couples, ensuring that these cherished moments are preserved for a lifetime. Life is fleeting, and I believe in commemorating those precious moments because one day, those tiny hands will be grown, the hands we exchange rings with will become wrinkled, and all we'll have left are memories. That's where I come in—I specialize in capturing the essence of your special moments, whether it's a Family Session, Wedding, or any significant life event, providing you with timeless images to cherish forever.

Abigail photographed my engagement and wedding photos in May and October. She made an already special time into something magical. As someone who has never felt beautiful, the way she captured the day made me finally feel that way for the first time. She and her second shooter were both so sweet and on top of every moment of the day. She was so organized and knew exactly what she wanted to do for the photos, making the day feel like a breeze. Her boho editing style perfectly complemented the fairytale/fantasy feeling of the wedding. Overall, a wonderful experience and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to photograph mine and my husband’s special day.

Savannah Rose Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves San Carlos, CA for additional fees

Hello! I’m Savannah, the photographer behind Savannah Rose Photography. Photography started out as a fun hobby, but when I was 16 I decided to take a film class in high school and that’s when I realized “this is it”. I have been able to be a full time photographer for 8+ years. I love being able to use my passion for art and photography to help you create uniquely beautiful memories that you will enjoy for years to come. I am definitely guilty of being a bit of a perfectionist which ensures that I do everything I can to give you the best photography experience, whether it be portrait session or on your wedding day.

Savannah photographed our proposal as well as our wedding and both sets of photos came out so beautiful! She is the sweetest and so fun to work with! Prior to the wedding she took time to talk to me and make sure we were on the same page for how we wanted the photos to feel and look, what poses or types of shots we might have especially wanted etc. (but was also so good about helping direct us if we got in an awkward posing situation!!) and had beautiful ideas for photos that didn’t just look like every single other wedding picture you’ve seen! She also made sure everything for the day of was coordinated with a photo schedule for our first look and things like the family shots which made everything run smooth and was very stress free for everyone involved. She perfectly timed out when and where we would need to be for the best lighting and even before that (since our photos after the ceremony were off site) made sure that location was just right and would work well. She honestly thought of everything and her preparation was obvious in how perfect the photos turned out! Savannah captured the special parts of that busy day but also little things I was too distracted to really soak in, she’s worth every bit!

Welcome to "We Do Weddings," where love meets artistry, and moments are forever preserved. We're Jared and Quinn, not just business partners, but a couple who share a deep passion for capturing the most cherished memories of your special day. Our journey into the world of wedding photography and videography began as a shared dream—a dream that brought together our love for storytelling, our appreciation for timeless elegance, and our fascination with the candid, unscripted moments that make every love story unique.

We had our engagement photos taken by We Do Weddings and had a great experience. My wife and I weren't set on a good location, but Jared and Quinn had a couple of suggestions and Freestone Park turned out perfect. They also arrived early and had a couple spots in mind to shoot at, which I really appreciated since it was a warm day and that expedited the process. The shoot was casual and surprisingly fun. They worked quickly but we never felt rushed. They gave great direction (including some pictures of what they were looking for at times) which turned out great. We just got the photos back and my wife and I were blown away. They turned out beautifully and we are so happy with them. The entire experience was a joy and the end result was exactly what we were hoping for.

Someday, years from now, someone close to you will ask about your wedding day - someone that may not have been able to be there, or a new friend or family member who you have welcomed into your life. As you sit on your couch and reminisce while sipping on a cup of coffee, rather than just telling them about your wedding day - I want you to be able to show them. Photographs have an amazing ability to freeze special moments in time. I want to do that for you.

Julia was a complete joy to work with for our engagement photos and then wedding! From the day we met I knew my (then) fiancé and I would be able to relax and be comfortable in front of her camera. She was so much fun to work with and had us in beautiful but still comfortable poses/positions. Her and her husband shot our wedding and they were so patient throughout hectic family photos.

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

Jose is fantastic! He has so much experience and very professional. Before our wedding day, he always had quick and clear communication. We loved his artistic eye and dramatic style of photography. He knows how to give good direction for those that aren’t used to posing or being photographed, and was always looking for the next shot. He definitely lets you be you and can still get amazing shots. We were surprised at how quickly we got to preview our gallery. After the wedding day, I realized that there was so much I didn’t get to document personally to remember the details from that day. But after seeing some of the shots, Jose had made me so happy to see how much he documented from the day! I highly recommend Jose :)

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.

PJ was easy to work with from the beginning. Always quick to respond, efficient emails which told us exactly what the next steps were on his side/what he needed from us/what to expect, all of which I appreciate as a bride trying to keep everything together! All our guests said he was everywhere talking pics, I realized I barely saw him at all! The sign of a good photog-everywhere and nowhere. We just received our photos back and they’re gorgeous! Highly recommend

Hiring Becka was the best decision we could have made for our wedding! She took care of every detail and was so easy to work with. The way she made us feel so at peace throughout the process of wedding planning was so unique and special. During pictures, she made the experience so personal and fun we barely felt like we were posing. Our pictures turned out better than we ever could have expected! She is so talented! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and already have to so many people!

Welcome to Emily Joy Photography// Bright, bold, and colorful. Southern California based photography capturing weddings, family, and individuals. My mission is to capture great photos of you and help you feel confident while doing so! What I love most about photography is watching how it can boost confidence. I love working with people and watching them let loose and have fun during our shoots. I am prepared to guide and equip you with confidence and plenty of prompts/poses! I relate providing a gallery of beautiful photos to making an amazing home cooked meal. I put my heart and soul into it and love watching others enjoy it!

Emily was absolutely wonderful to work with! She offered a free engagement shoot with the 8 hour wedding day package and we jumped at it. We had a meeting with her ahead of the engagement shoot which helped the day go smoothly. We felt very at ease with her which allowed us to get some really cute photos. She had a very calming and easy-going presence that made it a fun time to get our photos. Ahead of the wedding day itself, she again met with us to discuss photo options. I gave her a shot list of everything I wanted to get as well as a Pinterest board full of ideas, and she made sure to get all of them and more! I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a photographer.

Hi, we're Photos by Adeline—a wife and wife team. Adeline is from South Africa, and Valerie is from Texas. We love spending time together, making memories, enjoying nature, and savoring good wine and food. We specialize in capturing weddings and elopements with a blend of authentic, documentary, and artistic styles, focusing on telling your love story in a way that feels true to you. Whether it's the joy of your wedding day or the intimacy of your elopement, we aim to create a comfortable and relaxed environment, allowing your personalities to shine.

Adeline is the BEST photographer! They captured some of my favorite moments and froze them in time so that I can look back on them forever. I normally hate being in front of a camera but Adeline and Valerie made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable that it didn’t feel like modeling. She balanced in-the-moment creativity with preparedness, so my partner and I had an idea of where we were going and the freedom to act natural during our engagement photoshoot at a local bookstore. I will never need to find another photographer, because Adeline and Valerie are my go-to!

I am lucky; I get to do what I love for a living, have a ton of fun doing it, and meet a lot of great people along the way. It's a bonus that I get to also travel a lot for it as well. I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

I'm not here for insta-worthy moments. I'm going to capture the wind in your hair and sand on your feet. I will photograph you dancing in the pouring rain and laughing at the cake you just smashed in your partner's face. Life is messy and beautiful, joyful and sentimental. I don't believe in perfection, but I do believe in perfect for you.

She also gave us wonderful ideas on where to shoot our photos while also always wanting our input and ideas. She made our wedding day so easy and really went above and beyond. Now, the pictures.

I`m Anna, based in Reno, NV and I would love to travel to you! Instead of bragging about how amazing I am as a photographer and how long I've been clicking that button, I'll let my work do the talking! Let's skip that part and get to know each other on a more personal level. I like psychology, animals, people, traveling, and unleashing my creativity. Oh, and I absolutely love capturing people just being themselves and showing their love for each other in every possible way. I just LOVE love. It may sound cliché, but there's something magical about freezing those one-of-a-kind moments with my camera that keeps me going.
