From the moment we started planning our wedding, Anna and the team at Hey Honey Photography were an absolute joy to work with. She was an excellent communicator even through COVID and our wedding date shifting multiple times. We could not be happier with our wedding photos, we are absolutely obsessed! All of our images came out so beautiful, Anna captured the day even better than we imagined. She not only photographed every detail, she also surprised us with a very sweet card and a sneak peek of our photos with some beautiful polaroids she took that brought us to tears. We absolutely loved working with Anna, she was very professional, sweet, and her work is amazing. We also used her services for our engagement photos and they came out beautifully as well. We highly recommend Hey Honey Photography!

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

From the very beginning, Kristen made us feel comfortable. She was able to take charge when it rained on our wedding day and delayed the ceremony by over an hour. I do not know what we would have done without her!! She kept everyone laughing and relaxed, and for that I cannot thank her enough. Even with the delay, she was able to finish the family pictures, our couples pics, and the wedding party AND still managed to get us to the reception ON TIME! She was absolutely incredible and even our wedding planner was so impressed by her! The pictures turned out to be everything we imagined and more and we cannot recommend her enough to our friends and family.

Hey there! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma + Worldwide! I travel everywhere. I love capturing magical outdoor weddings—whether it’s a dreamy garden, a historic home, a charming winery, or a private estate hidden in the woods (I'm basically the Indiana Jones of weddings). My couples often say how comfortable I make them feel, how I capture the real moments without being intrusive, and how much fun they have during our shoots. I’m obsessed with the details and love when couples pour their hearts into making their wedding day unforgettable.

I got married in Napa Valley and didn't know who to hire for my professional pictures. The venue recommended a few names and after contacting Vanessa I knew that is who I wanted to work with. She was very caring and patient. She was on time and didn't disrupt the moment when I was getting ready, instead she made it special. She gave us poses to do and talked to the venue to make sure we could go to a little bridge I wanted to take pictures at. I highly recommend her!!

Hi there! It’s nice to meet you! I’m a lifestyle portrait and wedding photographer here in Santa Rosa, CA and I simply love all things photography. I would say it’s my one true love but that’s not very nice considering I have an amazing husband and three (soon to be FOUR! woah, I know!) incredible kiddos. I can’t imagine life without them. I'm a lover of life and my passion is capturing the big life moments for people that they look at and think, "I'll never forget this...thanks to this photograph!" Ha! Okay, enough about me. Let’s hang out and take some photos that I know you’ll love forever and ever! XOXO

We are absolutely over the moon with our experience working with Hailey! We first worked with her for our engagement shoot, and she immediately made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. That same ease and warmth carried through on our wedding day, where she made us feel calm, relaxed, and exactly like ourselves. Her ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions is truly remarkable. She turned around the sneak peek photos incredibly fast, and they are absolutely gorgeous—we can’t stop looking at them! We’re so excited to see the rest of the photos. If you’re looking for a photographer who combines a calming presence with incredible talent, Hailey is the one to book!

Danny Lewis Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves San Rafael, CA

Danny Lewis Photography started with a love of photography, of artistry through still images, and of the magic of capturing moments in time through photography. About five years ago I decided to start my journey into professional photography - intitally starting with headshots, family photos, and event photography. After a few years (and second shooting for a few established photographers!), I decided to also include wedding photography and have been doing so ever since. With our experienced team of second shooters, we love making our couples and clients feel relaxed and smiling while we capture all of their wedding's best moments!

We went with Danny Lewis Photography for our wedding earlier this month, and we were so happy with our photos. Danny captured all the best moments of the wedding and was so easy and fun to work with. I will most definitely be hiring him back in the future for our annual family photos because he did such an amazing job with our wedding pictures. The photo booth was a great add-on, and such a big hit! Danny has so many amazing, cute, funny, cool props for the photo booth. Everyone loved the photo booth, it definitely added a ton of fun to our wedding. Thank you for helping make our wedding so memorable, and thank you for capturing our big day!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

I take pride in delivering high-quality photos and genuinely enjoy being part of your big day. Based in Aptos, I also serve the surrounding areas of the Monterey Bay region, and I’m always ready to travel wherever your love story takes us!

Awarded Best of Zola
Deanna was truly the most amazing photographer for our wedding! Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos before, and to be honest, we’re both pretty awkward and camera-shy. But from the moment we booked her, she made the whole experience feel effortless. She even offered an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of it, we were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out—far beyond what we had imagined! On the wedding day, Deanna was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and nerves. Her ability to guide us through poses felt so natural—never forced or uncomfortable. She has such an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments, and the photos reflect that in every frame. Deanna didn’t just document our wedding; she became a friend along the way. I can’t express how much we appreciate her talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’re already looking forward to working with her again for future milestones and photo sessions. Thank you, Deanna, for capturing our special day so perfectly—we couldn’t have asked for more!

About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Azaria not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.

Angela Sue Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. They were precise and thoughtful in their instructions and communication, which put us at ease throughout the day. Their work is very intentional and detail-oriented - they showed up promptly and made us feel like our day was their top priority. For example, Michael and Angela had memorized the names of our family members in advance, which made the group photos seamless and efficient. We couldn't have asked for better photographers to capture our special day. The photos are airy, bright, and perfectly capture all the details and couple shots. Angela and Michael made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and blended in seamlessly with our wedding celebration. There is no one better we could have had for our wedding photography.

Plant lover, dog mom, croc rockin', beach cruisin', online shopping photog. You might catch me watching Emily in Paris while snuggled next to our giant lap dogs Lulu and Buddy or traveling the world to inspiring places with my husband (and best friend) Audie. I studied photography at the Academy of Art University in my favorite city by the bay, San Francisco. I continuously develop and modernize my knowledge and experience by utilizing my member resources provided by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) Association.

I found Nicole kind of serendipitously on Instagram - she had commented on a post mentioning that she would love to shoot a wedding at our venue so I sent her a DM to inquire about her services. She was very attentive to answering all my questions and scheduling a call to discuss our wedding and her services. We found her pricing to be very competitive and edged out the other photographers we had been considering. We were excited her package included an engagement shoot and thought it was a good opportunity to build rapport and feel more comfortable having our photos taken before our wedding day. We live a few hours away from our venue and her location but she graciously offered to travel to us for our engagement shoot! We could tell she put a lot of effort into scouting out locations and making the most of our shoot, and she turned our photos around to us so quickly! It was just a few weeks before our wedding so it had us feeling excited and confident that our photos would turn out great. Our wedding day went very smoothly and Nicole was very organized and did a great job! She even came up to me during the wedding to let me know that we might want to reshoot some photos of my dad lifting my veil. I thought that was so considerate! Just like our engagement shoot, I could tell the time and effort she put into scouting out locations and getting all the photos we had asked for. There were a few photos on my shot list that we did not get to do, which obviously we had hoped to have, but I understand my wedding was a very short timeline. We were blown away by the sneak peeks we received just 24 hours after our wedding! And Nicole managed to turn our entire gallery around to us in just 3 weeks. We had friends who got married 6 weeks before us and they were still waiting on their gallery! The gallery is easy to share with friends and family, easy to download and well organized! We really appreciate Nicole for capturing our day so beautifully and giving us photos that we can look back on and love forever! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and hope to be able to use her services in the future to capture more seasons of our lives!
