Inspiration is everywhere. Capturing love in its true essence is the ideal subject for photography: your wedding day memories will last a lifetime. I tell your story through my lens so that one day, your family can know the love they came from, as you share images and recount your most treasured moments in time. My point of view as a photography turned cinematic making a memorable scene of love. I guaranty to you a photography session with reasonable prices + quality photography & professional costumer service.

Yesika Transforms Moments into Timeless Memories. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Yesika as our wedding reception photographer, and the experience was nothing short of magical. Hailing from Cuba and honing her craft in Spain and France, Yesika brought a unique blend of cultural richness and artistic flair that truly set her apart. From the very beginning, we knew we were in for something special. Despite her company being relatively new, our initial encounter with Yesika during our engagement photoshoot left us awestruck. Her ability to capture natural beauty and those fleeting, candid moments was unparalleled, prompting us to entrust her with the monumental task of documenting our wedding day. Yesika's journey to our rustic Farm in the Sierra Foothills showcased her unwavering dedication to her craft. Her keen eye for detail was evident as she effortlessly immortalized the blooming wildflowers and skillfully incorporated the mesmerizing sunset as a backdrop. The resulting engagement photos were a testament to her talent and left us with immeasurable excitement for what she would create on our big day. The wedding reception itself was a whirlwind of joy, laughter, and heartfelt moments, and Yesika was the silent maestro behind the lens, orchestrating a visual symphony that perfectly encapsulated the essence of our celebration. Her ability to narrate our story through her photographs was nothing short of remarkable; each image told a tale of love, excitement, and the sheer fun we experienced on that unforgettable night. Yesika's professionalism, coupled with her warm and friendly demeanor, made the entire process a seamless and enjoyable experience. She seamlessly blended into the festivities, capturing both the planned and spontaneous moments with equal finesse. Her passion for her craft and dedication to exceeding expectations were palpable throughout our entire interaction. Yesika, we not only gained a photographer but also an artist who transformed our wedding day into a collection of timeless memories. We wholeheartedly recommend Yesika to anyone seeking a photographer who not only captures moments but elevates them into works of art. Her talent, coupled with her genuine enthusiasm, made our wedding day all the more extraordinary, and for that, we are forever grateful. Thank you, Yesika, for turning our special day into a visual masterpiece!

B Erkmen Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

Located in SF. As a Photographer; I'm a storyteller. My imagery captures a harmony of raw emotion, authentic evanescent moments, and curated artistry. I believe in camaraderie with my couples to create beautiful memories, love stories shared over wine & a fire-pit and giving back with each wedding I book. I champion for kindness and giving back. My couples echo this right back. They are stylish, authentic and plan amazing details but also know how to pop the champagne and head to the dance floor.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was my lucky day the day I met the Animus Art team at a bridal expo and won their free engagement photo shoot. When my (now) husband and I met with them over coffee (the way to their hearts, I found later) to talk about the shoot, I hadn't intended on choosing our wedding photographer then. We ended up loving their work so much...but more importantly, we fell in love with them as people. They have such a passion for what they do and for the people they work with, and it shows through in every conversation, every laugh, and every photo. My husband and I stayed after they left to discuss it, and we decided that day to choose them. We had lofty goals for our engagement shoot. We wanted to do a Pixar-inspired theme. I'm a perfectionist and had a vision of what I wanted. What we got was so much more. For our wedding photos...they captured moments I didn't know I needed. Some of my favorite shots are candid photos only their eyes would have seen. And once we found out we were pregnant, we immediately turned to them to not only help us capture the maternity and newborn moments, but the birth process as well. That's how close we've become with Pedro and Burcu...they were the only people we trusted to be in the room the moment our first child was born. The photographs are more than I could have hoped for, and looking at them brings tears to my eyes. They were able to capture so many emotions, and those photos are a gift I'll never be able to repay. I can't recommend them enough, and there aren't words for how much their dedication to those precious moments in our lives means to me. I can't imagine a special occasion without them...not only as photographers, but now as friends.

Avery Wong Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

I can tell you how I started shooting photos since I was a young wee lad, but that's what everyone else says and also it's not true. I didn't even pick up a camera until I was in high school. I'm the type of person who ignores convention and does it differently, my own way. Seldom the "right" way, but always the "Wong" way. My passion for creativity and my adeptness of the tech and the technical is what allows me to weave my craft and to produce art for my couples.

When my now husband and I were looking for a photographer, we made a tier list. After lots of weeding out of mediocre photographers, we narrowed our selections down to two. We resolved to contact the last two to see which one we wanted to go with. From the minute I first met Avery on zoom, I knew that I wanted to work with him. Not only are his photos phenomenal and extremely cinematic, they are somehow able to tell a story in the photo. I felt moved looking at some of his albums and I wondered how he was able to do that. When we actually got to working with him on our wedding day, I understood his process: He actually knows how to pose a model and gives clear instructions on where to put your hand, when to tilt head down, where to look, etc. This is what I was specifically looking for, as I've had some photographers who were just 'okay' that snapped away but gave no direction as to what to do. I think this is the mark of an excellent photographer and one who has clearly done many weddings. My butt looks great in all the photos. :) Also, I feel like I would qualify as a quirky bride, and he totally embraced that and took photos of my multiple plushies. That's a 100 in my book.

Thank you so much for stopping by! My name is Sarahi and I am a Fine Art Film Wedding and Portrait Photographer based out of the Campbell, CA. If I had to describe my photography it would be bright, joyful, and colorful. I love real, authentic moments and documenting the joy that people experience with each other!

We had a great experience working with Sarahi for our wedding this past August! Sarahi was very helpful to answer all my questions throughout the booking process and to help me figure out which package I needed. An engagement session was included in our package, and that was so helpful to get to know her and feel more comfortable in front of the camera! For the wedding day, Sarahi showed up early and did a BEAUTIFUL job with the details photos. Those are some of my favorite photos from the whole day! She and her assistant worked really well with our videographers even though they had never met before, and they helped to make sure we stayed on-track with the timeline the whole day and night. She captured everything we wanted, and even helped find beautiful photo spots that we hadn't considered before. After the wedding, she delivered the photos very quickly, and we were so happy with how they turned out!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

If I could give Grace and her assistant 10 stars I would! Our wedding was very low key with no day of coordinator, etc. Grace and her assistant helped my husband and I navigate the day. We were also very nervous about having photos taken and she did a wonderful job at putting us at ease and helping us with poses. Our wedding photos turned out amazing and we get so many compliments on them! I highly recommend Grace for your wedding!

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Awarded Best of Zola
Truly, I cannot express the gratitude that I have for Sarah and her team. She is kind, professional, and has the exact kind of energy everyone hopes for on their big day. I can’t recommend her enough! I wanted a candid, realistic view of the whole day, and she gave that to us with absolute ease. You won’t regret hiring Fox and Fig for a second!

My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cassie was referred to us and we quickly found out why. As out-of-towners, it was important to us to find a photographer that was familiar with our venue (San Francisco City Hall) and the city in general. We were able to quickly check off that box after seeing the many beautiful photos that she had taken of other couples in San Francisco. Her work really speaks for itself. In addition, Cassie was just a delight to work with. Her calm demeanor and measured approach just instilled a lot of confidence for us and we felt very comfortable from the get-go that she was someone we could trust and rely on. On the day of our wedding, she was punctual, friendly, and struck a great balance between being accommodating while taking charge when needed. We had such a fantastic experience working with Cassie and would definitely recommend anyone to check her out. Thanks so much Cassie.

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

Lerina was amazing. Her photography speaks for itself. She captures the natural beauty of film without the tacky editing that has become so common. She perfected this timeless look on film and digital. What really impressed me was how she hit every single photo request and was both firm in her direction but also kind. She is a true production manager as well as an incredible photographer. We're lucky to have found her.

Jasmine is an amazing photographer , It's only appropriate she's my 800th review! Jasmine, christina and my wedding planner Justina are literally some of my favorite wedding vendors and would hire all three again in a heartbeat! I initially had been following jasmine for a while before I got engaged in 2018. A couple of my friends had previously used her for their weddings and engagement shoots and their photos looked so magical and pretty with all the natural lighting! When I started booking wedding vendors, jasmine was actually one of the first vendors I booked! She's super sweet and responsive to emails, never had an issue with anything! We had two engagement shoots with her during Covid and we also postponed our wedding an entire year, she was completely understanding and willing to work with us to retain her as a primary vendor! Even doing our engagement shoots we felt so at ease and we actually appreciated all the coaching she gave us on how to pose. We are complete noobs and have no clue how to pose. She's a god send and will give you tips on how to pose, how to do your first dip and everything in between! Also if she suggests places to take photos at a venue, trust her, those photos will be magic, we hiked up a vineyard hill and we got some amazing shots with the oak trees. We just got married and received some sneak peeks and so far we are in love with our wedding photos! We've been in love with our engagement photos so we only assumed that the wedding photos would be equally as great! If you are looking for a family shoot, engagement or even wedding photographer, jasmine is the perfect person! Also if you also book christina chen for hair and makeup, you have the best duo ever! If I ever do anymore family/ maternity shoots in the future, I will be booking both of them together!

Figuring everything out for my wedding was all a learning experience and she helped me out so much during the process. During our engagement session, we got to know Tiffany better and once we saw the photos she took, we knew we had made the right choice. We refined the timeline (a lot) and she was available for questions or concerns when I had them. We had the most amazing wedding day, thanks to Tiffany, Alyssa and Brittany. They helped us figure out the best places, and how, to pose and made my husband and I feel super comfortable the whole time. Tiffany captured shots in a way that takes me right back to that moment and I'll cherish them forever. All the photos we got back were fantastic, and I would recommend Tiffany to anybody who needs photos of anything!

I'm a fine art wedding photographer based in Northern California and beyond. After discovering my love for photography, I always knew I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. I am so fortunate to call this my job for over five years! My photography work often describe as romantic, soft, bright and natural that lend itself from my love of film look and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two Tabbies. I would absolutely love to get to know you and be your photographer!

Ditto and his assistant showed up early and started taking amazing photos right off the bat. The pre-wedding communication was timely. He was easy to work with and brought calm energy to a day when stress can permeate the fun out of it. We immediately received a high volume, beautiful sneak peak the evening after the wedding which was a fun surprise and a great way to start our honeymoon admiring the gorgeous photos. If you are considering Ditto Diante Photography for your wedding, I would highly recommend him.

Hello I'm Valeriia! With 15 years of experience as a fine art wedding photographer, I specialize in capturing moments of happiness and genuine emotion. My approach combines an artistic eye with a deep passion for storytelling, ensuring each image reflects the joy and beauty of the occasion. I strive to create stunning, heartfelt photographs that couples will cherish for a lifetime, blending elegance with spontaneity to make each moment unforgettable.

We just received our wedding photos from Valeria and can't stop looking at them. I am very glad that at the moment when I started choosing a wedding photographer, I was lucky to come across one of her works and understand that this is the person I am looking for. For me, searching process was very responsible and not easy at all, because I work in a related area and had a clear understanding of what result I want to get in terms of style, mood and locations. The budget was also an important factor. Finding a photographer who would meet all the requirements and will be free in our date seemed almost impossible… But after texting to Valeria and starting to talk about the details, I breathed a sigh of relief because I realised - that’s it! The shooting process was also very easy and intuitive, we collaborated as a single creative team and definitely had fun(: In addition, we fit perfectly into the timing, which also proves Valeria's professionalism. And I'm sure that this photoshoot is not the the last one we do with Valeria(:

Symboll® Wedding Photo & Video

Symboll® is a team of Wedding Photographers and Videographers based in Los Angeles and San Francisco. We meet at the intersection of Art and Weddings, where a vision exists only in your mind, and we respect the responsibility of turning it into a reality.

We are so glad to have found Symboll to be our wedding photographer and videographer. We wanted unique photos and videos with a clean editing style that wouldn’t appear overly filtered, and Symboll checked every one of those boxes. We opted for the C2 package with RED videography, which was priced incredibly competitively considering the quality of work. Additionally, it came with up to 10 hours of coverage by default whereas most other vendors we looked at typically offered 8 hours. Working with them was a breeze. It started with messaging their client managers Christian and Attila who broke down their transparent and simple pricing structure. After payment, they sent a helpful questionnaire not only to help Symboll get to know us, but also allow us to narrow down what we wanted. They were always super quick to respond to our questions, and we never felt lost along the process. We were ultimately connected with Shant as our photographer and Misha as our videographer, and we were so lucky to have them on our wedding day. Both were incredibly professional, kind, and overall joys to work with. Importantly, our wedding happened to fall on a day with suboptimal weather (end of March 2024). It rained heavily for much of the day, and we had booked a largely outdoor venue (Rancho Las Lomas). Despite this, Shant and Misha were incredibly flexible to the wet conditions. These unique circumstances also highlighted the strength of Symboll’s creativity, as Shant and Misha took advantage of the storm to create some incredibly cinematic shots of us. We were so glad to have chosen Symboll when we saw our photos, since we are confident that few other photographers/videographers would have been able to leverage our unfavorable weather conditions like Shant and Misha did. Because of the weather, they were unable to use their drone to capture our day, but they provided us with a teaser reel video in addition to our feature film. Final photos came out beautifully and the short film came back in such a timely manner. We are so happy with the results!

Highly recommended Rob for your wedding. He helps make everything as stress-free as possible. From the initial Zoom call to coordinating on the day, Rob was always on hand to reassure you.

I'm a San Francisco bay area based wedding photographer. However, I am available for travel anywhere! Passport is ready and willing! Truth: I am slightly obsessed with all things girly, and anything that sparkles. Ok, well, maybe it's not slightly, more like severely. I think it's because I live in a house full of boys; I have an amazing hubby and 3 little men. Shooting weddings and seeing people on their amazing day is my happy place. When I'm shooting your wedding I want it to be so fun and relaxed that you are able to enjoy the process.

Brooke and Laurel photographed our wedding in November 2023 at Casa Real in Pleasanton, CA. We started at 10am and ended around 9pm (a long day!!). Brooke was extremely communicative and detailed oriented through the entire planning process. On the wedding day, Brooke and Laurel were awesome the entire time, guiding us through lighting, poses, and making sure everything was captured. They were also extremely nice, and it was so much fun to work with them. Highly recommend!!
