I am Ashley Strong Smith, the very passionate, sincere and grateful soul behind these very time capsules witnessed within this space. Although I’ve been shooting for over a decade, ASP launched full time in April of 2015 as an all encompassing business and became a Corporation - Strong Smith, Inc. in 2018. Since then, I’ve been beyond blessed to : - Document nearly 450 sessions - Document over a 100 weddings - Receive almost 250 FIVE STAR reviews on multiple platforms - Published nearly two dozen times

I highly recommend Ashley as your photographer. I first came across her work from another friends wedding, and I specifically loved her editing/the way she captured light in her photos! The photos we received did not disappoint. I've been struggling to narrow down which ones I want to print and frame in our home. I loved the app we received within a couple days that had a bunch of previews--more than enough options to choose from for an initial Instagram post! Ashley was so sweet to work with, and made sure to capture everything we discussed in our calls leading up to the big day. It was so fun going back through all the photos after and seeing how many group/family photos she was able to capture of our guests as well. I feel like the day was documented so well and we kept getting compliments from our guests about how great Ashley was. During our guest table photos she was so efficient, but also checked the photos to make sure no one was blinking etc. before moving on to the next grouping!

Steven Nguyen Photography, LLC

  • Fine art style
  • Serves San Clemente, CA

Hello. I'm Steven. Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming a professional in 2017, I have serviced over 80 weddings at diverse locations in my career. Throughout 3 years of my profession, I have chosen the path of fine art photography, which embraces natural colors, rich content, and especially real-time emotions. Contrary to traditional documentary photographers, my goal is to capture every special moment of your wedding day by praising the beauty through lighting and composition.

Awarded Best of Zola
WOW!! Steven Nguyen Photography was one of the BEST INVESTMENT for out wedding. We're so glad we chose Steven and his team, they delivered everything on time and it was not hard to immediately say "YES" after our consultation call. Steven is simply an honest & nice guy, which was what stood out most during our zoom call. Besides his work, my husband and I felt we connected well with him and the trust was evident, since day one. Steven was always responsive and courteous in all of our communication. I reserved my date with Steven about a year in advance to ensure that he locks in that date with us before someone else does (reserving a GOOD wedding photographer in Southern California can be competitive). I love how all of our interaction/communication were more than just a transaction. My husband and I love working with Steven and we felt like we could totally hangout with him and his wife (Connie). We didn't meet Connie until our wedding day and let me tell y'all...she is a whole different vibe (in a good way). I'm so glad she accompanied Steven, she was fun to be around, so down to earth, and awesome to be around. She brings this burst of energy and fun to the wedding team. Steven's artistic work made it look like it was a million dollar wedding (I don't know how, but he did it). We literally couldn't stop smiling and giggling at all the candid moments, he captured it all. With a wedding part size of 250....it's hard to keep track of who showed up that day, but he got everyone. To simply summarize, we are IN LOVE with our photos. Steven's work evokes a sense of elegance, filled with candid emotions that tell a story between two people in the most honest and organic way. Reserve your special day with Steven to ensure that your gallery will be delivered beyond your expectations.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $999
  • Serves San Clemente, CA

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are beyond thrilled that we chose Shevchik Production to capture our wedding day! Alex and his team showed incredible professionalism and attention to detail. They sent us a questionnaire to understand all our preferences and scheduled several calls to go over every aspect of the day. Honestly, they cared about the locations and logistics even more than we did, which made the whole process so smooth. Our venue was quite dark, and we were worried about how the photos would turn out. But the team came fully prepared, bringing professional lighting that made everything look amazing! The photos and movie turned out bright, emotional, and absolutely stunning. We also received a luxurious, oversized wedding album with beautiful prints. Flipping through it brought tears to our eyes – it’s absolutely breathtaking! If you’re considering an album, we recommend ordering a second copy for your parents right away – they’ll love it just as much, and it’s worth it to avoid reordering later. Alex, we wish you and your team great success. You truly create magic, and we couldn’t be happier!

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.

We hired Cassy for our wedding photos and was happily satisfied. She was easy going,fun and captured some our most memorable wedding moments.

  • Serves San Clemente, CA

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

We love, love, love the pictures we got from Peterson Design and Photography of our engagement and from our wedding! We are so pleased they were able to capture all those important moments from the ceremony as they happened and help us remember that part of the day. We are happy we'll always have those to look back on . After having our successful engagement photo shoot with Marisa and Tim, we were very confident that they would be able to capture our special day for us. There are so many great shots of our joyful day. I can clearly see right after the ceremony that I was so excited to hear the beginning of the celebratory Star Wars music that I gestured with my bouquet towards them, but I forgot about that until I saw the picture they caught of that moment - well done and thank you! We so appreciate their passion and enthusiasm for what they do - it really comes through the lens, and it made us feel relaxed, but excited too for our special day.

I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

Hi there! I'm Zack, a wedding photographer from Orange County, Ca. Ever since I was a young kid studying (and sketching!) bugs in the backyard, I've had a fierce love for the details in the little moments of this crazy life. I got my first "real" camera when I was 12 and was instantly hooked. As I grew, so did my passion and ability to translate those moments into memories. I had the chance to help photograph a wedding when I was 17 and wow! What an experience! That night, I looked through the photos and fell in love. I knew that capturing the moments that would mean something to someone for the rest of their life was where I belonged.

We had many different poses, camera effects, lighting and backgrounds all in one location. His creativity is incredible and when you find someone who loves what they do, you see it in the stunning results. Biggest moment in my life so far and it’s easy to relive through his photos.

Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

We loved working with her and would suggest her to any couple across the country as she knows how to scope out any area for the best shots. Her consultation process was great, she gave us a lot of good ideas and considerations to help us make sure we got in as many good family/friend shots as possible so the whole wedding party could have nice photos to remember the weekend by as well as us. She went above and beyond throughout the wedding night, coming back to grab her camera off the clock to get a bunch of candid photos of the dance floor and reception. Thank you Maddie for capturing our special night, we loved working with you.

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Nadia and Gunnar! We met with them ahead of time at a local brewery and quickly learned that they would be a great fit. Their photography style is bold and beautiful, and the couple is very professional and easy to work with. It was so hard to narrow down our selection because there were soo many great shots! I can’t wait to work with them again some day! Highly recommend!

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

Steve did our engagement photos, family photos, tea ceremony photos, and wedding photos for us. He makes you feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera and the photo results show it.

I am a photographer born in Japan, raised in Hawaii, based in Orange County, CA. I love to take event photography, especially weddings, because there is already so much joy and emotion happening and I want to capture that moment and feeling so you can always go back to it just by seeing the photography.

Miku was amazing to work with and we absolutely loved our wedding photos! My wife is a professional photographer so her standards are high. She found Miku on Zola and Miku's quality of work convinced us to reach out. Every step from beginning to end was highly professional. We had a consultation and talked about what kind of photos we would do for our wedding ceremony and we couldn't be happier with the final result. The photographs are one of the most important parts of a wedding, and now we have those memories captured for a lifetime! Thanks, Miku!

For us, it is all about documenting your day as it unfolds. We are believers that the best photographs come from letting everything flow.

We will get your dad in tears when he sees you in your wedding gown, and will also take your nephew in the middle of a tantrum. All that is part of your story. When you see your photos in 5 years, you will remember how your special day FELT and not only how it looked. You don't have to worry about photos, you just have to enjoy your day at the fullest.

Fernanda at Eyeblink is a total professional and she knows exactly how to give you space to enjoy to the moment and capture it as it's happening. We organized some portraits with family and friends but mostly she documented our wedding as it truly unfolded. When I look back at our pictures, I'm immediately transported to that exact moment and feel all the incredible feelings all over again. I couldn't be happier with her work. Highly recommend!

"Who's that girl, it's Jess!" Hey guys, I'm Jess! I love all things New Girl, The Legend of Zelda, and Broadway Musicals! I like to describe myself as Jessica Day, minus the really talented singing voice, but just overall kind of quirky and nerdy. I love capturing love stories, and fan girling hard core over all things wedding! If you need someone who is going to help you walk through your planning process, I'm your girl! You can also catch me binge eating tacos and ice cream while editing until 3am!

No matter where you get married Jess makes your photos look like a DREAM. Jess made us feel so comfortable and felt like she was part of the wedding party. We had the MOST fun with her as the photographer for our wedding, I made sure she was free before picking the date of our wedding because having her as our photographer was one of our main priorities! Honestly if I could give her more stars I would.

I'm so excited to share my experience with photographer Oleg, and don't know where to start. My fiancé and I spent so much time on the research in order to find the best team, and best quality product, and Zaya was absolutely the right decision, besides they have exceed all the expectations we had. They managed to take all the beautiful moments (even those that I forgot) and the pictures editing was sooo perfect. Since we didn't have enough time on preparation (month only), we couldn't meet with them in advance to discuss what exactly we were looking for, but let me tell you, the real professionals do not need any guidance. The whole team are such perfectionists, and all the services they provide are for 100%. I highly recommend Oleg’s Zaya to anyone who is looking for their moments to be captured by real professionals.
