Awarded Best of Zola
Khariza and her assistant did a 10/10 job! From the very beginning, their communication was clear, easy, and simple, making the process extremely smooth. The quality of her work is incredible - their photos are sharp, classic, and super classy. Khariza did a great job of making us feel comfortable and confident throughout both photo shoots, and she expertly directed our family members during the City Hall shoot to ensure we got all the right shots, even when other people at City Hall were in the way. We are thrilled with the final results and couldn't be happier with our photographer choice! We recommend Khariza for all your photography needs!

Clean. Simple. Minimal. Keeping a candid nature in capturing the rare and truest emotions of our couples. We believe that itself is perfection. The sight of a simple, yet bizarre snapshot of priceless moments makes it best and natural.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ron and Trinity are amazing at what they do. Since my wife and I have never felt at ease in front of the camera, they patiently worked with us from our engagement photos to the day of our wedding. They are incredibly professional and offer excellent suggestions when it comes to poses. My wife and I were so impressed with our engagement photos that it made us feel more at ease, relieved, and confident that choosing them over the other photographers was the right decision. We will always treasure the images they shot since they helped us relive that magical day for the two of us. We are looking forward to working with them again in the future.

My husband and I aren't fans of stiff, traditional wedding photos and wanted someone who does more documentary-style wedding photography. I was so glad when we found Misha. She was such a pleasure to work with and knew exactly how to handle a big family with many opinions. I've only gotten the sneak peak photos since we married only two weeks ago but I am already blown away by the results. They look like they belong in Vanity Fair. She captured such beautiful moments and I can't want to see the full set!

Ozan Ulucan Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Ozan, his communication was comprehensive, outgoing and clear. It was evident he has a creative, artistic eye that would capture our day in a unique way. On the wedding day, Ozan arrived early and hit the ground running, snapping photos right away and keeping up the energy and pace throughout the entire event. His experience shone through as he was comfortable facilitating numerous group photos and offering great suggestions on positioning. Ozan also scoped out the venue ahead of time and brought us to multiple spots for one-of-a-kind photos we hadn't even thought of taking on our own. The final edited photos were delivered quickly after the wedding, and the quality was truly professional and a cut above the rest. We received so many photos organized by different times during the wedding including getting ready, ceremony, portraits, family portraits, reception, night, and details including photos of our venue, flowers, and place settings. We are thrilled with the memories Ozan was able to create for us through his exceptional work.

You deserve to look back on your wedding photos and remember how the day felt — all of your nerves, your laughter, and, of course, your overwhelming joy. Together, we'll tell your story how you want it told, striking a balance between creating gorgeous moments with documentary-style gentle observation.

Awarded Best of Zola
Annalee did such an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! My husband and I are both very awkward in front of the camera but our worries quickly faded away because of Annalee's professionalism, kindness, and creativity. Annalee was with us for 12 hours and she kept a smile on her face and did not complain once. She navigated overbearing family members, Facebook Live aunties, and the general chaos of TWO wedding ceremonies in one day. Her work is so breathtaking as she took advantage of the colors, scenery, and general beauty of our wedding. We are truly thankful for Annalee for capturing our day with such beautiful photos. She is so incredibly talented and we wish that we had another big event just so we could work with Annalee again! We were so lucky to have found Annalee as she was one of the best vendors we have ever worked with. If you hire her, you will not be disappointed.

Sarah Peterson Photography

San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,888

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are SO happy we had Sarah as our photographer. From the very beginning when we first reached out, she was organized and on top of her game! After our initial consult we knew we had to book her ASAP. Sarah is such a bright and fun presence. She brought the BEST energy to both our sunrise engagement shoot and our full wedding day when a hype woman is exactly what we needed. She is positive, confident, fun, and just plain GREAT at what she does! As for her photography, I’m sure that can speak for itself - it is truly gorgeous!! She beautifully captures meaningful moments and the results are phenomenal. She got so many sweet candid and action shots that captured the emotions of the day so well. Finally, Sarah was always professional and great with communication. It helps that she is a genuinely kind person who so clearly wants your day to turn out perfectly! Seriously, you won’t go wrong with booking Sarah. 11/10 would choose her again in a heartbeat!

Awarded Best of Zola
I reached out to Courtney as she is a friend of a friend but make no mistake, she is by far the best photographer for your biggest day. I was very nervous trying to figure out how to surprise my then-girlfriend during the proposal and Courtney was extremely flexible during the prep process, helping give ideas and plan for the moment. Most importantly, she did a great job hiding in plain sight for the proposal. For our wedding day, Courtney was awesome snapping the best shots at City Hall. This was extremely important for us as we’d never been there but given her experience, she took us to all the best spots inside City Hall, especially the ones people don’t know about. My biggest takeaway working with Courtney is that she is very prepared, keeps you at ease during the entire photo taking process, and most importantly, brings the good vibes on your biggest day!

Artistic storytelling for the fun, kind and adventurous. Hi friend! :) I'm your neighborhood artist, goofy empath, & lover of dogs and human beans. (Name is pronounced Hasmeen, kinda like jalapeño) My goal is to be a source of joy and vulnerability in your life while helping you feel grounded on your big day and ~even more~ grateful for the life you live and the love you choose. 

Awarded Best of Zola
5 stars doesn't seem like nearly enough recognition for Jazmín and her absolutely beautiful work. From day one with us, she was incredibly kind, and sought out to learn more about us as both individuals and as a couple, to better capture the essence of who we are throughout our engagement shoot and wedding alike. She is so very talented and has such an incredible eye for the beauty in her clients, the world around them, and has such a deep perspective on how to blend all of these aspects together to ensure that you have these memories for the rest of your life. The days following our wedding, I felt very melancholy, as I had felt our fun filled day had gone by too fast. Now, with Jazmín's astonishing pictures and her ability to capture raw emotion in every frame, my wife and I have the blissful opportunity to relive our day together over and over and over again. Not to mention, she is an absolute sweetheart and made us feel so very special in so many ways. I PROMISE you needn't look any further when searching for a photographer to help you immortalize your special day with your loved ones.

She brings a calm, professional presence to every shoot and has an uncanny ability to catch the real, unscripted moments that make events truly unforgettable.

Hey there! I'm Natalie, a San Francisco based elopement and wedding photographer for couples who want a stress-free wedding celebration. I believe weddings should be focused on you and your partner having a great time. It's your wedding day, you should be enjoying it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Natalie was so sweet and easy to work with - not to mention she loves dogs, and our nervous pooch fell in love with her. Natalie is really organized and helped us finalize a timeline which made our day smooth. She fixed boutonnieres, managed our massive family photo, and even drove my husband and I from our ceremony to the reception. Having our engagement session with her also prepped us a little for what to expect. She gave us direction, and made us feel more at ease. Our ceremony was at Old Mill Park, and our couple photos in the redwoods were dreamy. She has a great eye, and the photos really were magical and timeless, with just the right amount of moodiness. She brought along a 2nd photographer, and they both caught really fun candid moments of our family and friends. She also had our photos back to us so quickly. Natalie was just super thoughtful, warm, and flexible. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, thank you, Natalie! <3

It’s simply to make people happy. She uses her lens to show inner beauty, authentic emotions, and life’s precious/fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly can’t recommend Tara and her team more highly. Not only is she an incredibly skilled and professional photographer who always captures that shot of a moment you never want to forget, she’s also a wonderfully kind, funny, and thoughtful person to work with. We first met when she shot engagement and wedding photos for my husband and I, and for years to come we reminisced about how great she was at taking beautiful photos and also wrangling wild, wiggly little kiddos. She even pitched in at our wedding and with a big smile on her face, bustled my enormous wedding dress — her assistant got a great photo of that! We were thrilled with how our photos turned out, as well as our 5 minute cinematic video which felt like the quality of an epic movie trailer of our special day. We were so happy to see her again for another family wedding years later, and most recently she took stunning and personal family photos with our little one. I’m already conjuring up another reason to work with Tara again because in addition to her gorgeous photos, she’s just a great person to be around.

Duy Ho Photography

San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

My professional background was cultivated in the field of architecture and design. But around 2010, my obsession with photography overcame my passion for architecture and I changed course. Through years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve developed a genuine love and appreciation for these emotional events. To me, weddings are emotionally-charged, symbolic celebrations. They often inspire pure expressions, words and feelings from the couple and their family and friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Duy while doing the rounds looking for wedding photographers, and after the fact, I'm confident we found the best person for the job. What I'm most impressed with is the vision he brought to the event based on the time of year, dress code, venues, etc. His direction and attention to detail showed through in the final product, and he was great at listening to one of our half-baked ideas and making it work! Beyond the pictures, Duy's calming presence was helpful throughout the whole experience, from the engagement shoot to the wedding. He's a great communicator and we felt like he was on our team throughout the whole experience. We always felt heard and truly hope to work with him again. Last but certainly not least, he was priced competitively and on the lower end compared to some of the other quotes we received.

Storytelling photography that brings your story to life. There is a story to everything right? There is certainly one to your wedding and even to a portrait session. The in-between moments can be the best moments! Images tell a story and they are there for me to find. This isn’t one image. It is a series of images that provoke emotion and thought. This happens with trust and openness and I know I can only get this if you trust me and I am open enough for you to do that. When there is this intimacy, I can get to the heart of the images and that is when the storytelling photography happens.

For some unknown reason I have loved weddings since I was a kid. That’s the first thing. But then… I got married. And that is indescribable. So… if you happen to be here because you have met someone special, and you are making moves, CONGRATULATIONS! You really are in for the ride of a lifetime. So… my first photos? Yup. They were from a wedding! Unfortunately they took the human knee as their subject because I was short, because I was five years old. One auspicious day I brought a camera to a friends’ wedding. I partied. I had a fabulous time. Afterwards they told me I should have said something, my photos were better than the hired pro.

We hired Paul for our San Francisco wedding and it was easily one of the best decisions we made. In addition to beautifully (and creatively) capturing the energy and excitement of the day, Paul was also an absolutely pleasure to work with at ever step of the way. Our wedding was in San Francisco this past August and had approximately 65 people in attendance. To say that we had high expectations for our wedding photographer was an understatement: we wanted someone who would be able to capture the dynamic energy and emotion of our big day in a natural, joyful way. I am happy to say that Paul exceeded all of our expectations and then some. We initially reached out to Paul in February through his website and we scheduled an introductory phone call. At that time I was chatting with a few different photographers in the Bay Area but was impressed at Paul's thoughtful questions regarding our vision of big day as well as the logistical considerations (venue locations, lighting , size, etc). From our first meeting at his lovely home, Paul was kind, thoughtful, considerate which made us feel like we were in good hands and helped put us at ease during the craziness of the planning. He asked us to consider which moments would be most important to our wedding and helped us think through the logistics of the day. Paul was also helpful in planning some of the big day itself: we had scheduled a city tour with our guests to occur between the ceremony and reception but were unsure where to go in the city. He recommended locations that would be both enjoyable for our guests and would make good backdrops for photos. In addition to the city tour, the day itself had a lot of moving parts which could have been really challenging to photograph (indoor ceremony in City Hall, outdoor brass band parade in full sunlight, indoor reception with low lighting in small antique store). Paul and his second shooter were well prepared and able to shot gorgeous photos in every location. Paul was also very mindful of which moments would be most meaningful to us. For example, we had mentioned that we specifically wanted lots of dancing photos from the reception and so Paul made sure a remote flash lighting system was set up in the reception venue which made for some fantastic dance floor shots. We had also said that we wanted to make sure we had a lot of candid photos of our friends of family and so Paul made sure to mingle among our guests, putting them at ease and getting natural, candid photos of our loved ones. After the wedding, Paul was able to send us our sneak peaks only after 24 hours (!) and the full gallery a short time after that. At this point, I was already very impressed but what happened after that really blew me away: Paul emailed me a few weeks after the wedding to me to ask if he could photograph some details from the wedding that he wasn't able to get on the big day (handkerchiefs from the brass band parade, wedding invitations, etc). He told me that he felt that those details were important in telling the story of our wedding and he wanted to make sure they were captured. I realize that it would've been easy for Paul to simply send the photos he already had but the fact that he found it was important to capture all the small details really speaks to his thoughtfulness, professionalism and excellence. We can't thank you enough, Paul!

I fell in love with photography while I was living in Nairobi, Kenya for a few months. When I returned to Penn State, I decided to change my major to photojournalism! I started a portrait photography business in college and continued after graduation. Now, a full time wedding photographer living in San Francisco, I couldn't be more thankful for that trip to Kenya! It led me to my passion and has allowed me to live it out!

We had the pleasure of working with Hannah for our City Hall ceremony day. She was a great communicator and kept us in the loop in regards to timing/location. The way Hannah navigated City Hall was truly incredible - we are still blown away how she got so many photos in one hour! People see our photos & think we rented out the space - but nope, Hannah was somehow able to get all of our photos with no bystanders in the background! She felt like an old friend, and any nerves we had for a) getting married or b) doing such a personal shoot with a stranger disappeared immediately. Thank you, Hannah!
