We had an amazing experience working with Josh! From the start, he really took the time to understand the look and vibe we were going for, and he nailed it perfectly. He was more than willing to travel to the location we wanted, which made the whole experience even more special. His attention to detail and ability to make us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the shoot really made all the difference. The photos turned out stunning, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who truly caters to your vision!

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!

Beginning my journey in the world of filmmaking, I initially delved into the realms of music videos and commercials, honing my craft in storytelling and visual artistry. However, it was a serendipitous opportunity to work as a cameraman at a wedding that unveiled my true passion. Now, with 9 years under my belt and hundreds of weddings captured, my love for crafting heartfelt wedding photographs continues to grow, reaching couples across the nation.

Hi! I'm Ria, but my friends call me Ri. I'm a Southern California based photographer traveling worldwide for weddings, elopements & love. There's nothing that makes me happier than making other people feel fucking GREAT about themselves. I care about eternalizing your story, no matter your race, gender, sexuality or body type — i’m here for you.

My husband and I hired Ria to capture our engagement and wedding photos and she absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way possible! We both are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but she made us feel so comfortable and confident in what we were doing. Not only is Ria the BIGGEST hype girl, but she is also kind, professional, and extremely talented. We just received a few sneak peeks after our wedding this past weekend and were amazed at how perfectly she was able to capture every tiny detail and special moment. My husband and I will cherish the photos that she took for years to come. Hire this girl, you won't regret it!!

Laura was wonderful. Before booking, she took the time to get to know us, learn more about our wedding, and what our vision was. (She even helped fill some gaps in our day that we didn't even think about). After booking, her communication was outstanding, not only with her consistent follow ups, but she was able to really vibe with us. Day of, we felt really comfortable with her taking our photos. Our guests commented on how professional, friendly, and helpful she was. At the end of the experience, it felt like a friend was taking our photos and not someone we just met on Zola. The photos came out great and captured exactly who my wife and I are.

Thank you for stopping by my website! My name is Yuki, and I am a photographer based in Southern California. Since I was little, I've had a camera in my hands wherever I go, and it has been my passion to photograph unforgettable moments. My influence came from my father who is a semi-pro photographer and videographer in Japan, and his journalistic photography style encouraged me to anticipate the moments and capture natural impressions. The moments I capture become the past, but what inspires me is seeing people’s reactions to the photographs I take. It is my hope that these moments become timeless. Often clients tell me that having a photo can bring back the feelings and memories of that moment, which is why I launched Yukipix Photography, LLC.

Isiah was a wonderful officiant, working with us to get a script that we loved and answering questions about getting the license.

Cassy Velazquez Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Santa Ana, CA

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.

My Husband and I were scrolling through Instagram to find our wedding photographer and came across one of Cassy’s posts. We immediately fell in love with her photography style and aesthetic. We reached out to her for our engagement session and it was absolutely wonderful. To start off, I will give HUGE kudos to Cassy for getting onto a Ferris wheel to take our engagement pictures. We later found out she was afraid of heights. This will just prove my point that Cassy will go the extra mile & what she does for her clients. During the engagement session, she helped my husband and I feel comfortable as she took our photos and once we received our photos we were so thrilled at how amazing they came out. We knew right then and there we had to secure her for our wedding date. My husband and I had never planned a wedding, & we were also looking for a videographer and had no luck in our search. I reached out to Cassy for any referrals or previous videographers she recommended. She asked us what we were looking for and what our budget was and gave us a list of videographers. We found our videographer through her and we are thankful to her because they were exactly what we were looking for. A few weeks before my wedding, I had to find a new makeup artist and Cassy came through again! She gave me a list of makeup artists and helped me find a MUA for my wedding day. Fast forward to our wedding day, Cassy & her team got there early to set up and first things first, they congratulated me. As a bride on your wedding day, it can be wonderful moment but it can also feel a tiny bit Overwhelming , like you have no control of what happens at that moment. BUT, I felt so calmed and reassured as soon as I saw her. It really helped knowing a professional familiar face on my wedding day. Having her as our photographer during our engagement and my family photography session, prepared myself what to expect on our wedding day. She made me feel assured & calm and kept us ON TIME to our wedding timeline. Cassy & her team went above and beyond to capture all of our important moments and asked for any last minute details we wanted to make sure we got photos off. My favorite part during the wedding was that Cassy was not shy to interrupt to keep us on track with our wedding timeline. And you need someone to make sure you are on track so you can get to all of your activities and make sure your photographer captures all the moments that you have planned for. Cassy worked so well with all other vendors and was professional. Cassy was responsive and on time with the delivery of our photo galleries and we loved them all. My husband and I cried all over again. Cassy was the BEST, ABSOLUTE BEST.

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!

If you are getting married in SoCal, and it’s important to you to find a team of photographers that make you feel comfortable and make your love shine through the camera, look no further than Peterson Design Photography . Marissa and Tim are not only a great team, communicators and photographers, but they are also pretty awesome to talk to; before, during and after your event. They took great care with our angles and personalities, they really made us shine with joy while taking photos, even when we are far from ideal models. Marissa had impeccable communication to make sure no detail is left to chance, and that was so reassuring to a type-a like me that had tons of checklists and picture inspiration. Being honest, we won a giveaway and didn’t do an economic investment for our elopement, but the value in all their work makes me confident in saying that they are worth it, that YOU and YOUR event are worth the investment, to get pictures that truly capture the real emotions of the day. We are so grateful to Marissa and Tim, and would trust them a million times again with our most precious day

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I spent a long time researching wedding photographers when I started wedding planning because I knew great photos would be very important to me. Glass Woods photos really stood out to me, and they were the first wedding vendor I booked. I am SO glad I did. Covid hit and we ended up postponing our wedding several times. Jake and Tasha were extremely flexible and accommodating throughout the process, and ended up traveling an hour to shoot my backyard wedding, which was not what they had originally agreed to. Unlike other vendors I dealt with, they never gave me a hard time or caused me any stress. On the day of the wedding, Jake was AMAZING. He was so chill and fun, and made us feel extremely comfortable on camera. He shot the wedding by himself, but didn’t miss any important moment. We just got our photos back and couldn’t be happier. They are all stunning. He did an amazing job of capturing all of the emotions in perfectly framed shots. I believe Tasha does the editing and it was also phenomenal. The colors are spectacular. I’ve already printed and framed some and they bring me so much joy to look at. So very grateful to Jake and Tasha and will definitely use them for photos in the future.

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.

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.

Your wedding album transcends time as a cherished heirloom, destined to be passed down through generations. Each detail of your special day merits an exquisite capture, narrating your unique love story with grace and authenticity. Our approach ensures that your wedding remains a celebration of love and not merely a production set for photography, preserving the essence of your day in a luxurious and timeless manner.

I don’t even know where to start, I can’t remember how I came across Kaitlin’s business but I’m so glad I did. She couldn’t have been sweeter. I was on a tight budget and after I received her pricing (which was very fair) I let her know it was out of my budget and she immediately offered to work within my budget and talk through what we could do. I also had my heart set on a videographer and she brought in her friend Nicole, they made the best team and worked so well together. They even offered to meet me for coffee and see the first look spot so I’d feel more comfortable the day of. Fast forward to the important part, Kaitlin is calm, professional, and truly wants the best for what you want during your special day. She does not pressure you to get a shot that doesn’t make you feel comfortable because she wants you to remember the parts of the day most important to you. We received sneak peek photos within 24 hours which was so impressive and they were beautiful, it had me counting down the days until the full album was done! We loved our photos and our friends and family had so many great things to say about them as well. You won’t regret hiring Kaitlin!

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!

We are so happy that we chose Madeleine as our photographer. From the first email onward she was always very friendly and easy to communicate with. We chose her because we love her work and editing style but our experience with her surpassed all expectations. She is a genius behind the lens. She coordinated with us wonderfully and made many great suggestions. We met her in person for the first time at our engagement photo session and felt comfortable with her right away. She was very patient with me and understanding of my health/special needs. And during our wedding day she facilitated the day and kept us on schedule for photos. She worked great with our vendor team and made our experience a lovely one. She is so kind and professional. We absolutely love all of the photos we have received so far. We highly recommend her .

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.

As a wedding photographer myself, I have high and clear expectations when it comes to photography. Nadia & Gunnar are my go-to photography team when I need to hire a second photographer. I have the unique experience and privilege of hiring them again and again. I never have to worry about a thing when they are on my team. Both individuals are reliable, consistent, and creative. They always show up early. They are constantly pushing their craft and trying to learn new things. They are extremely detail oriented so couples never have to worry about looking their best. Quiet in nature, Nadia & Gunnar are a calming support system on what is otherwise a chaotic day. I trust them completely with my couples and with my couples' loved ones.

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.

I am a photographer born in Japan, raised in Hawaii, based in Orange County, CA. I love to take event photography, especially weddings, because there is already so much joy and emotion happening and I want to capture that moment and feeling so you can always go back to it just by seeing the photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve worked with Miku for two photo shoots, for my graduation and engagement. Both final products were spectacular and they’re worth more than I paid for. Overall, she is a talented photographer! She is so good at capturing the moment, so her work takes me back to and reminds me the moment vividly. Also, she is competent in catching what her clients want and also excel in understanding photography trends. During the photo shoots, she’s made good & precise instructions for posing and those kept me relax and be natural in front of camera for the whole time. I’d recommend her 120% for not only engage/wedding photo but also for any occasion you want your precious moment to be captured!

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.

I am a Wedding Hairstylist & Makeup Artist. I had the pleasure of working with Hannah and her hubby when we had a Bride hire both of us for their Yosemite Elopement! Hannah was super kind, professional and very easy to work with. Her energy and personality was perfect for the 3am Sunrise session our Bride booked! The photos were SO awesome, seriously still some of my top favorites ever taken in Yosemite. I especially loved that she was able to catch some starry sky photos and encouraged The Bride / Groom to show off their personality with their Star wars accessories!

"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!

My wife and I live in Chicago, but did engagement photos with Jessica in Orange County and loved the experience so much that we flew her out for our wedding! Jessica was so much fun and made us feel SO comfortable! She made sure I wasn’t stressed about our timeline as we planned and on the day of the wedding. We loved getting our same night previews and were able to use them to create custom thank you cards early to get ahead on sending out thank yous to our guests. All of our friends can’t stop complimenting our photos and we can’t wait to work with Jessica again in the future!

It is such a joy to be around couples celebrating the best day of their lives. Every time I'm behind the camera, I'm reminded of why I love my job. Capturing the special moments and being a part of the celebration is incredibly gratifying and it's always a privilege to help couples remember their wedding day for years to come; I'm so lucky to be able to do what I love every day!

It was such a pleasure working with Amelia for our wedding. She is so fun to work with and extremely professional. I actually did a boudoir shoot with her as a little wedding gift for the hubs and she immediately made the experience so fun and comfortable. Our photos turned out incredible and she made the experience feel so effortless. I cannot recommend her enough!
