Leslie is an absolute gem. If you're reading this review and considering Leslie as a photographer, don't hesitate.. book her now!! Leslie was our elopement photographer at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and made us feel so comfortable. And in some way, she also saved the day of our elopement! She went out of her way to notify us of an big-rig crash in SB in which would increase our drive time and to make sure we plan accordingly. Leslie also gave us tips, where to park, and even flagged us down when we got to the courthouse and we made it JUST in time for our appointment. Her work is a also a testament of how talented she is. From her vision, guidance through to the delivery of photos.. everything was flawless. Leslie really cares and goes above and beyond for her clients. I hope to work with her again someday!

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!

I had an incredible experience with Grace as our photographer for a couples photoshoot turned surprise proposal! She was not only sweet but also incredibly creative, suggesting great poses and capturing beautiful moments. Grace took the time to understand our vision as a couple, and her thorough research showed in the stunning results. Plus, she went the extra mile by timing the sunrise for us, ensuring our pictures were absolutely perfect. I can't thank her enough for making our special day even more memorable with her talent and dedication. Highly recommend her for any photography needs!

Xenia Park is a photography and videography company based in Los Angeles. Every couple, with their distinctive love story, transforms into a canvas where we paint with the play of light and shadow. It extends beyond the grandeur of photographing pivotal moments like vows, rings, and the first dance; it encompasses the art of capturing nuanced glances, shared laughter, and the silent connection that elevates an ordinary day into an extraordinary celebration of love. Published in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Tatler.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!

Fox & Fig Photography

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
I cannot find enough words to tell you how absolutely amazing Sarah was. She was the best to work with and truly captured the day perfectly. Not only is she the best human, she is incredibly talented. She was fun, easy going, extremely professional and captured us as a couple perfectly. I can’t wait for her to capture more moments for us to come.

I cannot recommend Emily enough! We found her a few months out from the wedding and did a call to talk about our budget and our vision for our wedding. Emily was so accommodating, shaping a photography and videography package that fit us perfectly! On our wedding day she was incredibly hard working and well prepared. She makes everyone she meets feel comfortable, confident and beautiful in their pictures! On top of honoring our "shot list" and getting all of my top priorities taken care of, Emily scoped out the venue and came up with fun locations and ideas that we hadn't considered! She also played with traditional photography, shooting on film, and polaroids all of which gave us unique looks that we love!

Rafael Garcia Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Santa Ynez, CA

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day ! We are so excited to share these photos with our loved ones for generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Planning my wedding was definitely exciting, but had a lot of stressful moments because I can be a perfectionist and very indecisive. I think I was mostly nervous about booking a photographer because eventually people will forget the details maybe even the dress I chose, but the pictures are forever. So that was what I wanted to be absolutely perfect. Let me tell you… my prayers were answered when I found Rabab!!! I was immediately drawn by her absolutely stunning work, and I knew that was exactly what I wanted for my wedding. When I met Rabab in person, to discuss my needs for a photographer and get a quote, I was instantly put at ease when I met her. She has a way of making anyone feel very comfortable with her charismatic personality. She is also funny and made me feel like we were friends instantly! She was able to customize what I was looking for which was really nice because other photographers that I reached out before had a very rigid package that they offered. Rabab genuinely cares and always aims to please. When I first saw our engagement photos, I literally cried tears of joy. There’s only been a couple of other times in my life when that has happened. I just genuinely felt so overjoyed and completely ecstatic with Rabab‘s PERFECT work!!! I am not comfortable taking pictures because I don’t feel that I’m photogenic and again I am super picky and a perfectionist, but Rabab captured my very best features and angles, and made me look better than I ever have! I was instantly ecstatic to see what our wedding pictures would look like, and she did not disappoint me once. She is super professional, kind, genuine, and offered to help me the day of my wedding with little things that she didn’t have to do with her role as my photographer. looking back on my wedding day there are certain things I would do differently… but I am the most grateful for Rabab! I will forever be more than satisfied and overjoyed that I chose her to be our wedding photographer. Her stunning work speaks for itself!!! she is crazy talented, and absolutely brilliant! She is also a brilliant artist, it’s so inspiring to meet someone that talented in so many ways! She is someone that I consider an honor to know, and have worked with. Trust me… The best decision you can make is hiring Rabab. She is everything a wedding photographer should be and so much more, she exceeded my already perfect expectations!!

After 10 years of shooting I can tell you happily that I still think I somehow got away with having the best job in the world. I adore being able to photograph the moments of life that make it worth living. Weddings, birth, family, there are concentrated amounts of love in these moments and being able to give someone a way to hold on to that visually is absolutely wonderful.

Christy is a true professional - she is meticulous, creative, and a master of her craft. She captured my husband and I so authentically for both our engagement and wedding photos. She and her team were responsive, professional and accommodating from start to finish. Christy remained calm and composed despite the summer heat, family chaos, and various photo requests throughout the night. She made us the priority and ensured we felt comfortable and taken care of. We intend to hire her a million more times for life events worth capturing! Can’t recommend her enough.

Hi you guys, my name's Natalie, & I'm so glad you're here! I’m a joy-filled, Southern California surfer girl who is in love with capturing weddings.  My style? It’s timeless, romantic, adventuresome, & personal. I’m dedicated to capturing fine elegance + raw beauty all the while keeping it real + being authentic. Your job is to be in love & live in that excitement with each other. My job is to make it easy + enjoyable for you two to be yourselves, 100%, as I frame and capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments in a way that only my mind can. Congratulations to you both! Looking forward to getting to know each other! xx Natalie

You always picture how your wedding will be. The amazing feeling you will have to see everything you envisioned come together into one beautiful day. How much fun you will have getting ready in the morning with your best friends, sisters, and momma’s. And the love in your Husbands eyes when he see’s his future wife walking down the aisle. You picture the beauty of the day both visually and emotionally, and how you will cherish those memories forever. Perhaps one of the most import jobs on your wedding day is given to who you entrust in capturing those moments. I met Natalie through work. I am a wedding coordinator, and I had reached out to her when I started working in the area. I was in awe over her talent, and straight away felt a connection to how she captured such pure and beautiful moments. I knew after meeting her that she would one day be my wedding photographer! Our wedding day was everything that I could of ever asked for. It was such a incredible day with so much love and beauty. Natalie absolutely blew my already very high expectations out of the water. She is so good at what she does. Natalie made taking all of our photos so much fun. She knew when to allow us to have space and be in the moment, and when to direct and take charge. You want to be able to get caught up in the moment on your wedding day and not have to be the one worrying about who to take photos with or what needs to be captured next. She did such a wonderful job at making sure we got all the shots we needed, but allowing us to enjoy and have fun with all of them. From standing on chairs, to driving up hills, to dancing with us on the dance floor Natalie did whatever it took to get the most raw and sincere footage of our most special day. My husband and I cry every time we look through our wedding album and that is a huge thanks to Natalie Schutt Photography.

Real Connections. Raw Emotions. Candid Moments. 

 These are the values behind what we do. These three words are the heart and soul of our work and everything we do is based around adventure and authenticity. When you hire us, you are hiring photographers who truly care about the experience you will have on your day. We don’t mind getting a little dirty or wet. We don’t mind staying until after dark to get the perfect shot. We don’t mind the hikes, or the time in-between each event. We are truly there for you and to tell the story of your day exactly as it happens

We are absolutely thrilled with our decision to book Candance as our wedding photographer. Initially, we almost missed the chance to work with her, but after an unexpected cancellation with our previous photographer, we reached out to Candance. She graciously adjusted her schedule and was able to accommodate our engagement shoot within a week of our request. Working with Candance and her husband Corey was an absolute delight. Candance is incredibly sweet, professional, and brought a wealth of creative ideas for poses and backgrounds. Her calming presence was a blessing on our busy wedding day. The photos we’ve received so far are some of our all-time favorites. Candance was, without a doubt, the best vendor we worked with throughout our wedding planning process. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer. You will not regret booking her!

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!

Albert and Liliya are definitely one of the best wedding photographers in Vegas right now! Their communication was clear and they were professional throughout the day. First, planning with them prior to the wedding day helped ease the stress of the day. They let us know what we needed to prep before they arrived to capture all the details of my dress and accessories so it was easier to get started. Also, they helped with the timeline of the day, so we can have the most time doing our formal photos of us and our family. They scouted locations prior and knew the perfect spots around our neighborhood (at home wedding). They were very clear on how to pose too! My husband and I can be awkward in front of the camera but they gave us tips and tricks on our posture and posing so we looked natural in our photos. Also, as a husband and wife team, they were able to show us exactly how to do a pose before we had to do it ourselves which made it even more clear on how to carry out a pose. They were very efficient and professional during the whole process. During the ceremony, they were not an obstruction to the environment and still took beautiful pictures. They blended in and so happy they were able to capture all the special and emotional moments. Lastly, our family and friends cannot stop raving about how beautiful and creative the photos turned out! I have friends who are still showing their friends the photos because they are unreal! Also, our family who joined us that day, can’t stop raving about how professional, efficient, and great people Albert and Liliya. They are an amazing team! 10/10 recommend them for your wedding day!

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.

Stephanie’s journey in photography began when her sister became engaged in 2017. This was such an emotional experience for her that what started out as a hobby quickly became a passion that she craved to share with others. For her, photography is more than just a photo or a snapshot. It’s a treasure. A priceless glimpse into the past where all the best moments of your life are preserved. Stephanie strives to deliver the perfect photos, encapsulating all the firsts, all the feels, all the memories!

Halcyon Echo

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Santa Ynez, CA

The greek myth from which the phrase “halcyon days” is derived, is one of great love ending in a time of joy and calm. A euphoric recollection of the past and an optimistic reverence for the future. Echo denotes a feeling of resonance and return. Because our memories and dreams are almost never linear-they are organic-abstracted from reality and, often, largely defined by touch, scent and, of course, sight. My hope is to create imagery that will reflect the deepest of fully felt emotion from this day, back to you. Working with analog & digital processes from Denver, Colorado.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Karly! She was more than helpful when it came to all of our photography needs. She worked with our crazy schedule while running around Yosemite National Park. She delivered when it came to final edits. Make sure you get the extra final edits, trust me you will want all of them! Thank you a million times for making our special day the MOST special!

Hi, I'm Jimmy! I am originally from Southern California and have grown my busines service area to Utah and Internationally over the last 15 years. I am a people person, and enjoy working closely with couples, and capturing the essence of who they are. When it comes to photographing a couple, I look past the outward appearance for the love and emotion that drives them. The personalities that are distinct to each couple make every session new and unique. I strive to create a fun and spontaneous atmosphere and a collection of images that convey each moment, and every detail in an artistic and truthful manner.

I do not believe you will ever come across a negative review about Jimmy because legit he is so beyond wonderful at his job. We had Jimmy out to do our wedding right outside of Zion National Park. I was skeptical at first when he said I did not need a second photographer because legit everyone was pushing it with a wedding my size but he did not miss a thing. He was wonderful with communication before the day of, we had a scheduled phone call to discuss the details, and legit did not have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding. I am beyond obsessed with my photos, but like if you cruise his instagram, you will understand why! Totally worth the money and then some!

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.

Animus-Art photography consists of two amazing humans, Pedro & B, who are even more perfect when they come together. Working with them on our engagement and wedding was nothing short of a fun adventure. My husband and I are not exactly naturals on camera, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at the images they captured. Pedro & B are fun, creative, passionate, hard-working and incredibly talented!! They go above and beyond to get the perfect shot! Their work is exceptional and speaks for itself. I couldn’t imagine the images being any more perfect. But aside from that, Pedro & B offer something truly special with their personalities and work ethic. They weren’t just our photographers- especially on the wedding day- they took on so many roles. They were like the best friend who never left our sight. While we were getting ready, Pedro spent much of the time with my husband and the boys, and B stayed with me and the girls. B was my superwoman on my wedding day. She wasn’t just one of my photographers - she was my maid of honor, my friend, my event coordinator, my personal assistant, my therapist. She just seemed to be there every second of the day, willing and ready to help out in every way. All this, while she snapped hundreds of beautiful, creative photos. Pedro is the kind of photographer who listens while you describe your ideal look to your hair dresser so that he can make sure it stays that way all night. And as he prompts you to fix your hair 3 hours into your reception, you smile with pride because you know you hired the best photographers in the world. The level of attention they pay to detail is unreal! They anticipate your needs before you even know about them. They capture real moments in a beautiful way. They know how to take photos while letting you be yourself- no constant stopping and prompting. In my opinion, those make for the best shots. They have so much fun doing what they do, it’s infectious. I am so so happy that they were our wedding photographers and hope to have them capture other important events in our future. Absolutely THE BEST!!!
