Shutter & Sound 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves San Juan Capistrano, CA

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

My fiancè and I booked a sunrise engagement shoot with Murtaza. From the day we first reached out, Murtaza was extremely professional, kind, and quick to respond. Murtaza was very accommodating of our limited schedules, and held several calls with us before the shoot to make sure every detail would be exactly what we wanted. On the actual day of the shoot, we were nervous as we don’t like having our photos taken. Murtaza made us instantly feel at ease with his kindness and radiant positivity. He patiently worked with us to pick our best angles, but also included fun, dynamic prompts that made us forget about the camera and not look stiff. As an added bonus, within a few minutes of leaving the shooting site, Murtaza sent us a sneak peek he had already edited! We treasured these until we received the full package of edited photos, which were stunning beyond our expectations or hopes. I would highly recommend Murtaza on his qualifications as a photographer alone, but his genuinely warm personality and infectious positivity truly distinguish him from the rest. Murtaza is a gem!

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.

Cassy has photographed our engagement, wedding, graduation and maternity photos. This review is long overdue. She’s so communicative and professional. She’ll make you feel comfortable right away and knows her stuff. She takes beautiful photos. You won’t regret going with her for your photos for any occasion. She’s awesome and just a super nice person and wonderful photographer. For our wedding, she went above and beyond and got so many great photos. Do it, go book her now.

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!

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

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.

Thanks to Zack, my husband and I have pictures that stop time forever. He also made my very shy younger brothers feel comfortable and even helped the 5 year old get his shoes on. Having Zack be our photographer just felt like having more family around on our special day.

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. 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.

These are not cookie cutter photos, her candid photos of the night captured the vibe and personality of the wedding and all of the guests and told a story of the night so perfectly.

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

Maddie was above and beyond anything we could've asked for as our wedding photographer. She has a gift for the craft and handled our huge wedding party like a pro. She pays attention to every little detail to get the best photos and was so skilled in finding the perfect shots throughout the weekend. 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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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. He is not only kind and engaging but take absolutely stunning photos. We hope to use Steve again in the future!!

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!

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.

I LOVE our engagement photos so much ! Nadia did our engagement photos in Central Park, NYC. I was so nervous because it was raining but her attitude was so positive and calmed me down instantly :) during the shoot , she was patient and helped us feel more comfortable. She helped direct some poses because we are awkward (LOL) and caught some really nice candid shots . Bottom line is that I couldn’t have asked for better photographer !! I receive so many compliments on the engagement photos , some look like they’re straight from a magazine :) thank you , nadia !! You’re the best ! :) here them, you won’t regret it !

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 don't believe in interrupting special moments to get a safe (posed) photo. On the contrary, we capture all moments: the fun, the crazy, the unexpected. 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!

If you are thinking about it, just do it. Jessica was absolutly amazing. Our photos or to die for! Not only is her work amazing but Jessica is literally the sweetest. I am not photogenic or comfortable in front of a camera and Jess and her team made me feel comfortable. We booked her along with Micah and Rebecca films and they are the perfect pair. Jessica was so helpful on our wedding day and make everything amazing. I have zero complaints. Our guests loved her and her team and had amazing things to say. I was shocked looking though my photos when I saw photos of things I never thought I would ever receive. I have a photos of almost every guest who attended our wedding. It is unreal! Jess made planning for the day so easy and picked up our timeline when my venue and planner dropped the ball. Her and her team saved the day and when things got stressful the day of, the were calm and acted like a shield for us from everything going south. Truly her work is amazing and she is worth every penny and more. Book her, add hours, and enjoy. You cannot go wrong.

Amelia is such a kind spirit and genuinely cares about the story she captures on any special occasion. The care comes across in all the photos she’s taken. Not only was she an amazing photographer but she went out of her way to help me with things that I never expected someone who I had just met to help me with. (She even helped me put on my wedding dress) Her compassion and professionalism is boundless and my husband and I are so lucky to have had someone like her to documented our most important day together. The photos are so beautiful and I will never stop smiling at them for the rest of my life.
