Welcome. I’m thrilled you’re here. My approach is to make things easy, enjoyable, and fun throughout the whole process. From the moment your inquiry lands in my inbox to viewing your full album, I am here to capture your story make your vision a reality. I strive to capture your raw connection while documenting such an important day. On a more personal note- I love the outdoors for more than just photo-ops. I enjoy skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and especially being on the water. I am a big people-person which is also why I am also a Physical Therapist! This allows me to work with people daily and help make a difference in their lives.

Marla Manes Photography

  • Serves Santa Clara, CA for additional fees

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

Seriously where to begin with how incredible Marla is as an incredible and artistic photographer, professional and organized business owner, and welcoming and beautiful person. She immediately makes you feel comfortable talking with her and she puts a ton of effort into getting to know you and your story. She cares so deeply about her couples and goes above and beyond with client experience before, during, and after your session with her. You spend a ton of time with your photographer, and this is who you want as your cheerleader, your confidant, and your friend on wedding/elopement day. Her eye for light is inspiring and you never again will say "I'm so awkward in front of the camera" because her posing is effortless and genuine. She brings out the best in you and your partner and your connection. Candid moments, deep emotion, and joyful forever memories! Marla is the photographer you've been looking for!

Diana and Korey Photo and Film 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,498
  • Serves Santa Clara, CA for additional fees

As many millennials do, we met on one of those phone dating apps (eh hem.. Tinder..) and had an instant connection! It didn't take long for Korey to make things "official" and asked Diana if she would be his girlfriend. Of course she said 'yes!' and it was a whirlwind after that. We adopted an adorable blue nose pittie, moved in together, and started a business! Now here we are, 6 years later - chasing our dreams and building a career together as a MARRIED COUPLE!! (and we also have another pup!).

One of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process! Communication with Diana and Korey was smooth from the get go. Just take a look at their beautifully organized website and gallery and you'll understand what I mean! (It's also a great place to start looking for venue inspo!) Time tables with when and what things should happen are reviewed at a scheduled check in time. And the attention to detail they dedicate to your vision/pinterest board is a true sigh of relief for any bride in the wedding planning process! Josh and I are also certified introverts so it's hard for us to feel at ease in front of a camera. But each and every member of their team was so personable that it was easy for each smile and laugh to be genuine. Of course it also helped that Diana always had a pose idea ready to try! During our sweltering July wedding, despite 95 degree weather, Diana and her team sweated alongside us and continued to show enthusiasm for getting that next shot at that next backdrop to make sure every moment was captured. AND she had so many preview photos ready a mere TWO DAYS after the wedding. Herculean feat truly All our friends cannot stop complimenting the wedding album as they said Diana and Korey truly encapsulated our day and helped them relive it once more. I am so thankful that we have these memories memorialized through them and can't recommend this magical team enough!

Hi! Nice to meet you! I'm Mae and I’m an elopement and intimate wedding photographer ready to capture your love story in its most authentic form! I'm born and raised in New York City and love to travel, and would love to connect with you!

The photos they captured are absolutely beautiful - they have such an artistic eye and really highlighted the love and joy of our special day. We had never had professional photos taken before, but Mae made the entire experience comfortable and affordable. We would highly recommend Mae Krell Photo to any couple looking for gorgeous, personalized wedding photography.

Hugo & Kat Photo & Film

  • Serves Santa Clara, CA for additional fees

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. :)

Josie with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception. I have no idea how she pulled it off but they look so magical and caught everyone having fun, all the exact memories I'll always cherish.

Hello! I’m Savannah, the photographer behind Savannah Rose Photography.

I have been able to be a full time photographer for 8+ years. I love being able to use my passion for art and photography to help you create uniquely beautiful memories that you will enjoy for years to come. I am definitely guilty of being a bit of a perfectionist which ensures that I do everything I can to give you the best photography experience, whether it be portrait session or on your wedding day.

She has a fantastic eye for detail so all those little shots, the ones you think of and the ones you don’t, will be captured. When it comes to communication, she is personable, friendly, and very responsive. We have used her for just for fun photos, our wedding photos, welcoming our dog to the family, and what seems to be our new tradition having a photoshoot right around the time of our anniversary each year. We have already decided all life events that we want captured, Savannah will be the one we call. You won’t be disappointed!!

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago.

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

She has such an eye for unique shots and is amazing at directing you as well as your overly-stimulated new husband. We coordinated a ton of surprise aspects and were able to pull them off with Grace's help. She also ended up fixing boutonnieres, ensuring my hair looked amazing before each shot, and worked so well with our videographer, planner and all other vendors. I can't wait to see the full gallery and can't recommend her enough!

We're Jared and Quinn, not just business partners, but a couple who share a deep passion for capturing the most cherished memories of your special day. Our journey into the world of wedding photography and videography began as a shared dream—a dream that brought together our love for storytelling, our appreciation for timeless elegance, and our fascination with the candid, unscripted moments that make every love story unique.

We had our engagement photos taken by We Do Weddings and had a great experience. My wife and I weren't set on a good location, but Jared and Quinn had a couple of suggestions and Freestone Park turned out perfect. They also arrived early and had a couple spots in mind to shoot at, which I really appreciated since it was a warm day and that expedited the process. The shoot was casual and surprisingly fun. They worked quickly but we never felt rushed. They gave great direction (including some pictures of what they were looking for at times) which turned out great. We just got the photos back and my wife and I were blown away. They turned out beautifully and we are so happy with them. The entire experience was a joy and the end result was exactly what we were hoping for.

She helped me track down people for photos, she caught special moments I didn’t even know she was around for. I just can’t sing her praises enough. Our photos are beautiful.

Someday, years from now, someone close to you will ask about your wedding day - someone that may not have been able to be there, or a new friend or family member who you have welcomed into your life. As you sit on your couch and reminisce while sipping on a cup of coffee, rather than just telling them about your wedding day - I want you to be able to show them. Photographs have an amazing ability to freeze special moments in time. I want to do that for you.

Julia was a complete joy to work with for our engagement photos and then wedding! From the day we met I knew my (then) fiancé and I would be able to relax and be comfortable in front of her camera. She was so much fun to work with and had us in beautiful but still comfortable poses/positions. Her and her husband shot our wedding and they were so patient throughout hectic family photos. We can't recommend Julia enough!!

With over 10 years of industry experience, my strengths clearly lie in wedding and portraiture photography. Whether you're a recently engaged couple looking for someone to preserve your journey from fiancés to newlyweds through photographs, an expectant Mama hoping to capture your maternity glow or simply wanting to document you and your loved ones during whatever special season of life you're in, I would love to hear from you, I specialize in all types of portraiture but I am renowned for my wedding and engagement photography above all else. Whatever your photo needs are, I would love to chat and find out if we're a good match.

Sam was our girl from the beginning. She encouraged our pups in our engagement photos and worked around their lack of being photogenic. She pushed us, comfortably, out of our comfort zone. She was found by my Maid of Honor on Instagram and I immediately knew her style was what I had been looking for. When it came to wedding day I was most excited to see not only our photographer, but a friend. She was supportive, easy to work with and guided us in the right direction when needed. She knocked out our photos in a timely manor while positioning and giving great direction as to where to move to make the picture look better (something that was important to me). I am happy to scream her name for recommendations from now on & return to her in the future!

Hi, I'm Joni! I've been photographing couples for over 10 years now and I just can't seem to get enough of it! My warm, bubbly personality always seems to keep EVERYONE in good spirits throughout the wedding day! I’m a calming force when things start to get stressful and ready to keep the energy up to dance the night away together! Sometimes wedding days don't go exactly as planned. I’m extremely flexible and prepared to provide expert, judgment-free guidance to help you pivot and get right back to having the time of your life!

Joni was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication was efficient, timely, and kind throughout the planning process, which helped keep things running smoothly. On the big day, Joni brought a wonderful energy while capturing countless beautiful, timeless photos that we will treasure forever. She has such a talent for making couples feel comfortable in front of the camera. You can tell photography is her passion! Joni helped ensure the day flowed well by directing us for photos while making the process fun. We were thrilled when she delivered a full wedding album to us in just a few short weeks after our wedding. The turnaround time was unbelievably fast! Overall, Joni is a gem and we couldn't be happier that she was able to photograph our special day.

I started photography as a second shooter with another local photographer and I fell in love with it. I love every aspect of my job, from meeting new people to editing photos. There truly is nothing better than getting a message from my clients about how happy they are with their images and how much it means to them. I have traveled to Colorado, California, New York, Florida, Alabama-- All over for weddings! I LOVE to travel for my work. So if you like my work, but realize I'm not close by, still reach out and let's talk!

I specialize in documentary approach centered around emotion. Whether you’re having an intimate elopement, adventurous mountaintop ceremony, or a huge late night wedding bash, my goal is to capture it in an understated and beautiful way that represents you and your story. My overall goal with every single wedding I photograph is a combination of documentary style photography (so that you get to relive your wedding as it happened every time you look through your gallery) and however much hands on direction you want (so that you get the kind of portraits and detail shots that you’ll love forever).

From the moment we first spoke with Zandra Barriga, we knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding day. Her empathetic, engaging, and authentic communication style immediately put us at ease and made the entire process seamless. Zandra's talent is truly remarkable - her photos captured the essence of our special day with a level of excellence, consistency, and professionalism that exceeded our expectations. She went above and beyond, adapting to any situation with grace and ensuring that every moment was beautifully documented. Zandra's work is truly unforgettable, and we will forever choose her as our photographer for any occasion.

I'm a wedding and engagement photographer who has collaborated with couples from all over the world. I offer a relaxed and conversation-based style of wedding photography because I believe that the best images are the result of communication.

Dear Lizzie, We can’t thank you enough for the amazing work you did at our wedding. Each photograph is like a piece of art; you didn’t just capture the moments, but also the emotions and the magic of the day. Every time we look at the photos, it feels like we’re reliving those moments all over again. This is truly invaluable to us. Your kindness and thoughtfulness made our wedding even more special. You weren’t just a photographer, but someone who shared in the most important moments of our day. Your interactions with our guests, your warmth, and your professionalism deeply impressed us. It felt like having an old friend with us, which put us at ease. Seeing how perfectly this job suits you made us realize once again that we chose the right person to work with. Photography is a profession that witnesses the most special moments in people’s lives, and it’s incredible how well you fit into this role. Working with you was such a joy, and we savored every moment of it. We want to thank you once more, and we truly congratulate you for your dedication and sincerity. We’re sure you’ll continue to achieve great success in your future projects. With all our love! Cihan & Zeynep

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your story in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

Jose is fantastic! He has so much experience and very professional. Before our wedding day, he always had quick and clear communication. We loved his artistic eye and dramatic style of photography. He knows how to give good direction for those that aren’t used to posing or being photographed, and was always looking for the next shot. He definitely lets you be you and can still get amazing shots. We were surprised at how quickly we got to preview our gallery. After the wedding day, I realized that there was so much I didn’t get to document personally to remember the details from that day. But after seeing some of the shots, Jose had made me so happy to see how much he documented from the day! I highly recommend Jose :)

I’m a sucker for a story, especially a love story. Ever since beginning a love affair with photography in Scotland, I’ve worked to capture striking photography for hopeless romantics. From traditional weddings to elopements, I’m game to capture creative and sentimental moments in timeless color.

PJ was easy to work with from the beginning. Always quick to respond, efficient emails which told us exactly what the next steps were on his side/what he needed from us/what to expect, all of which I appreciate as a bride trying to keep everything together! All our guests said he was everywhere talking pics, I realized I barely saw him at all! The sign of a good photog-everywhere and nowhere. We just received our photos back and they’re gorgeous! Highly recommend

Hiring Becka was the best decision we could have made for our wedding! She took care of every detail and was so easy to work with. The way she made us feel so at peace throughout the process of wedding planning was so unique and special. During pictures, she made the experience so personal and fun we barely felt like we were posing. Our pictures turned out better than we ever could have expected! She is so talented! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and already have to so many people!
