  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves San Juan Capistrano, CA

I have traveled and photographed weddings and engagement shoots all over the country including internationally. I still get nervous before every wedding I photograph. If I didn’t have nervous tension, I probably would have lost the drive and passion for what I love doing the most. The reason for my love of wedding photography is simple: I love spending the day with brides and grooms creating wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. I hunt for moments that cannot be recreated or relived. I love capturing the raw emotion of a wedding day. I want to be the best not only for myself but especially for my clients.

Just book Peter! You won’t regret it. Super cool and personable from our visit video call with him. He was very flexible with our engagement shoot and generous with his time. Let me tell you…his vision!? Oh my. We have GORGEOUS photos from our engagement sesh as well as our wedding. I literally could not believe my eyes once I saw the photos! Anyone can take photos but Pete has the vision and artistic eye for epic photos! I cannot recommend him enough!

She helped keep the timeline of the day going and helped us with the finer details. She is very efficient while not sacrificing quality. She also helps you feel at ease with everything, which is super important on such a crazy day!

MARS TAKES PHOTOS

  • Editorial style
  • Serves San Juan Capistrano, CA

Hi! I’m Marci, but I also go by Mars. I’m a photographer who specializes in analog film photography, but I also offer digital photography and am typically shooting both on a wedding day. My greatest inspiration comes from organic moments, lived-in details, cinematic storytelling and human connection — I take all these influences into consideration when photographing a wedding day and like to consider my approach documentary with an editorial flare.

Working with Marci was an absolute pleasure. From our first interaction, she was easy-going, attentive, and genuinely kind - putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Her work is effortless, sincere, and authentic, beautifully capturing all the special moments of our wedding day. Marci has a keen eye for details and feelings, and you can really feel that in the photos. She was great at capturing candid, natural moments without forcing anything. I will always recommend MARS TAKES PHOTOS - she is the best and so easy to get along with. We are thrilled with the beautiful memories she helped create for us.

We are Hayes and Bree, your San Diego wedding photo and video duo! In 2020, we met online, but were stunned that both of us had been capturing weddings through photography and videography separately for years! After getting married, we combined our businesses to create one where we not only get to continue doing what we love, but get to do it together. Whether it's a local wedding in San Diego or traveling to gorgeous spots like the European countryside, we would love for you to come along for the journey!

Anyone looking for a photographer who not only captures all those special moments but also just knows what and how to shoot, is very professional and kind, and LOVES to shoot weddings, then look no further. Bree is all of that and more. Her photos are fabulous and her easy and cheerful personality is one that makes her easy to work with! I highly recommend Bree for your special day.

We LOVE our engagement and wedding photos so so so much. There are so many amazing photos to choose from it makes it hard to post and print…. so I end up spamming IG and FB a lot lol. Ashley was great to work with and really made us feel so relaxed on our wedding day. We were nervous for the engagement session but it was a lot of fun and the end results came out so amazing that we had so much trust in her the day of the wedding. She got amazing photos of the scenery and of us both times. She was available for all my call requests the weeks leading up to the wedding and helped me plan the timeline so that everything flowed and worked really well. We ended up finishing our couple, bridal party, and family photos so quickly. It was such a great experience.

I'm a follower of Jesus, adventure lover, wife to Josiah (my husband of four years, personal chef, and favorite weirdo), and dog mom to Solo (the sweetest chihuahua you'll ever meet). When I'm not working, you'll find me with a friend at a coffee shop or curled up at home with a good book or a show; most likely a rom com. I'm a big fan of morning light, cold brew coffee, and dark chocolate anything. My favorite travel destination is the Oregon coast and my perfect day would consist of the beach, hiking, good food, and close friends.

Annie captured both our engagement photos and our wedding day and I would chose her over and over again in a heartbeat. Not only is she such a kind, genuine person, her photography talent speaks for itself in her photos. Throughout the entire wedding planning process Annie made herself available to assist in creating a timeline for the day and offering practical suggestions that I never would have thought of. Her experience in wedding days is a tremendous asset in itself! The day of our wedding Annie was a chauffeur for me to our first look, a calm during the whirlwind storm of a wedding day, a giver of several laughs and the person who remembered to grab the rings when leaving for the church. I am so grateful for Annie and her ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera and I admire the passion and dedication she has towards her clients. I am certain no one would ever regret booking with Annie to capture their special day.

The title says it all 2 of my best friends had already booked Ally & Andre, and seeing how they worked on our wedding day, was the reason I knew they would shoot my wedding, (even though I didn't have a partner at the time). Years later, they were the first vendors I booked. I wanted a romantic feel to my wedding photos, and they were fully executed, and I say that full-heartedly as I am a photographer myself. ( I am also picky) Out of all the things that came out of our wedding, our photos were our favorite. Ally and Andre were the most relaxing part of my day, and even though I was so stressed and my groom was hungover, their calm demeanor just made our day so much more special. I highly recommend them and expect more of my friends to use them!

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Allen Tsai 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $13,000
  • Serves San Juan Capistrano, CA

Allen Tsai founded his namesake photography business in 2011, turning his passion for the art of photography and documenting poignant memories into a business. While he is based in Dallas, TX, he has covered destination weddings all over the world including Mexico, Caribbeans, Europe, and Asia. He brings a warm personality and professional spirit to his work with an airy, romantic, and dreamy aesthetic. If you’re looking for a rare balance of technical, aesthetic, and emotional skills in a photographer, you will find it in Tsai.

My first experience with Allen Tsai was when he photographed my sister's wedding. My sister herself, is a photographer. The second time I heard his name was at my best friend's wedding. HER photographer had also used Allen Tsai for her wedding. I decided to take some time and followed Allen's presence on social media and the internet. Turns out he's VERY decorated and has been featured a lot in publications. His clients are worldwide, and all the photographers I respect want HIM for the THEIR weddings. If he's the professional that all the other professionals use, I knew I was never going to entertain any other photographer. The second I got engaged, I told my wedding planner we had to secure Allen. And that's what we did. THANK GOD because it takes a special photographer to handle everything and everyone that was, My Wedding. I got married in Downtown Dallas and my wedding had very "city" vibes. I didn't want to have every "conventional" wedding party shot, and so I had tasked Allen with the burden of making my wedding photos look like "something off the cover of Vanity Fair." Not typically his route for weddings, and also confined to a VERY tight timeline, somehow, Allen was able to execute my vision. More than that, every shot from the reception is PERFECT. The lighting was consistent in every shot (and let me tell you, the lights from the stage and darkness of the room was all over the place that night). He captured beautiful portraits, but also grabbed very intimate moments between myself and my husband, our friends, and our family - shots of moments that we didn't know anyone was watching. The photos were edited and turned in record time (amazing, considering he shoots digitally AND in film) and the gallery of proofs was enormous. This was so important because I've heard HORROR stories from friends whose galleries were pitifully small since the photographer didn't have very good content to return. The gallery is easy to use and navigate, and he even offers printing services (huge if your local pharmacy does a bad job with prints). Here is my biggest jaw-drop of the experience: Allen worked alone. My wedding had around 225 guests and you would have thought (based on the photos) that he had at least two assistants. Finally, Allen is also just awesome to work with. He's kind and dedicated to his craft, and he is so respectful and polite. He rocked my wedding and I'm so glad we hired him.

On our wedding day, Jackie was so on top of everything and made sure we had scheduled all the time we would need to capture those special moments with each other and with our families & friends. She is SO positive and makes you feel comfortable as yourself despite being behind a camera lens. Jackie quickly got us our photographs back and wow!! they totally exceeded all my expectations.

We're Hugo & Kat, wedding photographers & filmmakers based in Los Angeles. We're a married duo & we genuinely love that we get to pursue this passion together. Our goal is to create a space where you can be completely yourselves. To capture the real essence that makes you, you. Both individually & as a couple.

Hugo and Kat did photo and video for my wedding during the pandemic and they were nothing short of amazing! They were so easy to talk to and I didn’t feel like they were “in our faces” with the cameras. Yet, they happened to capture the most intimate of moments. I’ll forever cherish the photo they captured of me and my dad! As an event professional myself, I have to admit it’s hard to find vendors that still have that freshness and fun. Hugo even managed to convince some of my guests to come out onto the dance floor after they were sitting ducks. That showed me that he wasn’t just there to take photos/videos and call it a day, they were there to go above and beyond and make sure me and my guests had a night to remember. :)

With Temecula being our home, we have a special place in our hearts for wine country weddings. No matter where you're celebrating, let's make it happen. Traveling & experiencing new adventures is our favorite part about what we do. Let's get to know each other!

I cannot recommend Nick enough! He did both our engagement and wedding photos. He is incredibly talented at what he does! He listens and is super patient. (At the time, we had a wiggly 4 year old daughter that he understood had a limited attention span!) We didn't want a ton of still shots of us...and he still managed to get the most important ones on our wedding day. He knew we wanted to capture the fun/touching moments of our day and he did just that. Additionally, our engagement photos were so beautiful too! We plan to use Nick throughout the years as our family grows...thank you so much for locking our most precious day in time!

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Erin is an incredibly warm person and immediately made us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot. We had never done a shoot like this and were nervous and worried about feeling awkward, but her easygoing demeanor and natural instructions took all the stress off of us and we really enjoyed the experience. Erin has a detailed eye and a talent for capturing the natural beauty of the outdoors which was important to us. After our first great experience, we asked her to shoot our wedding as well on a cliff overlooking Sedona, AZ. She captured the scenery and golden hour lighting in breathtaking shots that were flattering of us and perfectly captured the grandeur of the red rocks around us. We will treasure the photos forever. Thank you Erin!

To me, capturing the moments of your wedding day is not only about making photos. It is about seeing your love in every single detail. The way you look, smile, touch and hold each other’s hands are those tiny things that help me portray the story of your big love without any words being said.

I really enjoyed Natalia so much! So creative with the film shots. The eventual overall photos were beautiful. I’m not sure how she ran around and captured it all in such a way! She was very punctual and very cooperative about the multiple locations over the course of the day. Wonderful photos I’ll adore forever. Thanks so much Natalia!

The reasons people choose us over our competitors are: 1) Our communication is the best in the industry 2) No hidden fees, no travel rates, all flat rates. 3) We offer a very flexible payment plan, where you choose the dates you wish to pay on! We serve clients across California and throughout the entire U.S. 😁

Honestly Jose saved our lives! Previously to hiring him and his team, my wife and I had gotten scammed by a photographer. I was scared and of course super stressed about finding a new photographer I could trust and I could rely on. From the beginning the communication with Jose was amazing and this is so important with any wedding vendor. He captured our wedding so beautifully and that’s all we really want when hiring a wedding photographer. He even sent sneak peeks like two days after the wedding! And our pictures were ready so fast! I highly recommend New Ending Productions for your wedding and all your photography needs.

Hello! I'm Natalie, a passionate documentary photographer dedicated to capturing the authentic and heartfelt moments of your special day. My approach to wedding photography is all about storytelling. I believe the most beautiful photos come from genuine, unscripted moments that reflect the true emotions and unique story of each individual couple. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me spending time with my family, traveling to new places, or just cuddled up with a good show and a comfy blanket. I’m always inspired by the beauty of everyday moments and bring this inspiration into my work.

Working with Natalie was a dream. It can be overwhelming having a camera on you and all this attention on you but Natalie carries herself with such a beautiful energy that puts you at ease. She really helps pose you and feel comfortable and before you know it you’re posing on your own. The confidence really shows in her images. My husband and I couldn’t be more happy with our photos! Can’t wait to work with her again, would recommend to all of my friends!

Meet with your Photographer. "The most important thing for me is to create a feeling with my bride and groom, in order to have the best approach on the D-day, and to respect a professionalism, a dress-code, or a planning while keeping the pleasure of capturing these unique moments for my clients."

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.

I started Fresh Studio in 2009 to share my creative voice. Fast forward to 14 years later, it has become a platform for telling visual stories about the beauty of human connection and celebration. I live to experience the richness of collective human energy. Whether it's a wedding, a convention of the minds, or a performance on the stage, I'm at my best in this world when I'm behind a lens using photography to document your important moments, freezing them in time to live beyond a single day.

Jami was our wedding photographer during a post-pandemic time when all wedding vendors are completely overwhelmed. And yet whenever I connected with Jami, I felt like I was receiving her full and direct attention. My husband and I are not the most natural in front of the camera, so it was very important to us to have someone that could make us feel comfortable and come out of our shells and Jami exceeded those expectations. Her vibes and energy are unmatched. Shooting with her and having her present on our big day was a blast and simultaneously the calming energy needed to re-center and focus on each other. I will without a doubt be recommending Jami to everyone I know, as well as continuing to use her for any future life milestones. Her style and talent are evident in her work, but SHE is what brings it out of people. 1000/10 recommend

I booked calibridal film for my fusion Indian/American wedding and they did an INCREDIBLE job capturing our events. The communication was very seamless leading up to the events and the photos turned out amazing. We are so happy we worked with them and highly recommend. Our ceremony was very colorful during the daytime outdoors and our reception was in a ballroom with more minimalist decor, and they captured both events perfectly. I loved looking through all the photos, not just the portraits but the great candidate they got of guests. Thank you Anna!

I cannot recommend April enough! Leading up to the wedding, we had to make some last minute changes due to covid restrictions. April was so easy to work with throughout the whole process and helped me find an option that fit well within my budget but still perfectly captured my big day. During the actual wedding, I still cannot believe how easily she kept things flowing. I was nervous about looking awkward or uncomfortable in the pictures, but April helped us both feel comfortable and we spent the entire session laughing. The pictures came out so beautiful too!! Looking through them, I really feel like a princess. I really cannot recommend April enough. You won’t be disappointed!
