Shutter & Sound 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves South El Monte, CA

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.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

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.

I'm Adrian Ong, a passionate wedding photographer, husband, and father. I love starting my day with coffee, croissants, and enjoy collecting sneakers. Photography is where I channel my creativity, especially capturing the beauty of multicultural weddings. My style blends timeless elegance with a modern touch, focusing on emotions and genuine connections to create meaningful heirlooms.

From our engagement shoot to the wedding day, Adrian and his team made us feel so comfortable and truly captured every moment that mattered—those emotional glances, spontaneous laughs, and everything in between. The photos are stunning, and the highlight video perfectly tells the story of our day—we’ve already watched it more times than we can count! Their attention to detail and care for every little moment made all the difference, and the quick turnaround was the cherry on top.

  • Fine art style

  • Serves South El Monte, CA

In 2013, I took the camera from the photographer I was assisting at a wedding and haven't been able to put it down since. I believe capturing some of the most memorable moments in a couple's life is an honor and a privilege. My passion is fueled by the thought that the bride and groom will be able to look back on these images and relive one of the best days of their lives. The love, joy, camaraderie, and coming together of families to celebrate is electrifying, and photographing that energy gives me purpose. I never anticipated being a photographer, but im so happy photography found me.

Zej was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very start, his communication was professional, prompt, and respectful. His work is truly top-notch - he has an incredible eye for capturing all the special moments that made our day so meaningful and memorable. I could not be more impressed with the entire experience working with Zej. We are thrilled with the results and any couple would be lucky to have Zej as their wedding photographer.

Emily McGahee Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves South El Monte, CA

Welcome to Emily McGahee Photography, where Southern charm meets West Coast creativity! Originally from South Carolina, I've spent over a decade embracing the vibrant spirit of Los Angeles, which has become my cherished home. Photography isn't just a passion for me—it's a means to connect deeply with my surroundings and to immortalize precious moments for others. I find immense joy in preserving the essence of life's most treasured memories through my lens, while forging meaningful connections with everyone I photograph.

Emily shot our wedding back under the pier at Manhattan Beach. She was great in every way. We live out of state so we had a preliminary zoom call to meet and go over expectations. Loved her personality and work immediately. Keep in mind, I’m a photographer myself and I loved that on the day of the event, she arrived early, she jumped right in, she was great at getting sneaky shots from afar as well as wrangling people into shots (I’ve found a lot of photographers are pretty passive and quiet and don’t really get too involved, which I’m not a big fan of. Emily gets it done!) The photos turned out beautifully and came back in a super reasonable timeframe. I would hire her again and again, but I’m really hoping this is my last marriage and I won’t need her for any more wedding photography! -D

Becca Maas Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves South El Monte, CA

I'm Becca, a midwest transplant in Los Angeles (yes, one of those people), wife/homebody, Christian, and newfound happy plant lady. My day is made whenever I see a cat, I cycle through re-watch binges of my favorite shows constantly, and I always have something home-baked on hand in my kitchen. I’m pretty used to third-wheeling it and am excited to be any couple’s wedding day companion and new lifelong friend & coffee date!

Choosing Rebecca for our engagement session was one of the best first decisions we have ever made as we started our journey to our big day. Rebecca was absolutely the right person to capture all of our unadulterated and perfect moments. She was very professional with how she listened to the elements that we wanted for the background. Since my fiance and I came from the Philippines, we wanted photos that were unique with the beach and palm trees of California. She worked with the idea and found options for the shoot. She was also very mindful of the weather forecast and made the right decision to cancel when she knew it was going to rain on the date we initially chose. Rebecca did not only produce beautiful photos with her eye for detail and talent to blend light and nature, she captured our character as a couple. It is rare to find someone like that. Photographers can point and shoot but for someone who will be able to be at that exact moment and see the REAL you as a couple is priceless. We had great conversations during the shoot and it felt like we were out for a walk with a long time friend. I highly recommend Rebecca for her professionalism, punctuality, passion and heart.

I am a fine art wedding and elopement photographer based out in Los Angeles, CA. I’m passionate about telling love stories through photographs in the most beautiful and meaningful way. Love stories are an infinite source of inspiration to me and I believe that the most magical images are made up of connection, emotion, and light. I wholeheartedly believe that you should live in the moments you want to remember forever and we feel so grateful to have the opportunity to work with such incredible couples who have the same approach to love and values that we share.

I would 10 out of 10 recommend Jennifer to all my friends and family! She is just so sweet and amazing. My husband and I have never done professional photos before and she made it so easy going. She first did out engagement shoot and we had so much fun. We both felt very comfortable in front of the camera. Jennifer is also very punctual. She also shot our elopement in Santa Barbara, we got sneak peaks back that same day ( how amazing, right?) and when we received all the photos about 3-4 weeks later, we were BLOWN away. Looking at the pictures made it feel like we were reliving the moment again, I am so so so happy that I chose to have her do our pictures, they truly are amazing and I cant wait to frame them for my home.

Hi I'm Rachel! I'm based in Los Angeles, CA and I love photographing people in love. It a passion of mine to tell the unique stories of my couples and capture them in a way that is authentic, true and beautiful. I mainly shoot in natural light I love the outdoors! But I know how to work lighting for indoor scenarios. My editing style can be described as moody, warm and film like with subtle grain and contrast. Most my clients praise me as really easy to work with and holds space to make them comfortable and look their best!

We loved working with Rachel from beginning to end. She takes beautiful photos and I am obsessed with her color processing, but aside from the product itself, she’s a lovely presence to have on such an important day. My husband hates having his photo taken and even he was relaxed and enjoyed the process. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat.

Symboll® Wedding Photo & Video 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,990
  • Serves South El Monte, CA

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!

My husband and I love the natural lighting style when it comes to our photos and that’s exactly what we got with Adri. Even her detail shots and B&W film leaves us in awe! On the wedding day, Adri and Stephen were amazing! They made posing for photos so easy and our family and wedding party loved them. Adri even had fun suggestions during our wedding party group shots. Adri was also very organized when it came to our family photos right after the ceremony. It made everything go by so smoothly! Also Adri is super quick with her photo turnaround time! For the wedding, we got our sneak peeks 2 days after. They’re so beautiful, I catch myself looking at them every night! We really enjoyed our time with them and will consider hiring Adri for other future family photo shoots!

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.

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
It's hard to properly describe our gratitude for Roberta. We ended up using her twice: once in an intimate ceremony for just our family, and again at our full blown reception a year later. No one could possibly be prepared for what happened in 2020, but Roberta from the outset was flexible, creative, and patient as we put together the pieces of two completely different weddings. Photography was the most important vendor we scouted because not only did we want beautiful, timeless photos- which we got- we also wanted to feel relaxed and comfortable around someone who would spend most of the day with us. We had so much trust in Roberta and her vision which helped us sit back and enjoy the day. We are so happy with how everything turned out and hope we find an opportunity for her to capture more of our life moments down the road.

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.

Cassy has that key important skill of a great photographer: how to make people feel comfortable and relaxed, while having fun! Cassy takes such beautiful pictures and all of my couples have been very happy with her. She is so friendly and. very professional. Highly recommended!

Natalie is a Taiwanese-American photographer inspired by warmth & connection, reminiscent of her upbringing in Hawai'i. She graduated from NYU Tisch with a BFA in Photography while working alongside fashion designers & directors on editorial and campaign productions. For over a decade, Natalie has directed her lens towards weddings, finding a meaningful depth in the relationships that she develops with her subjects and the cultural & physical environments that surround them. Her background in fashion marries a tender, documentarian perspective to provide refined imagery with an editorial edge without compromising the truth of what happened.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Natalie, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final photos. Her creative eye is unmatched, and she provided such thoughtful guidance on posing, which made the entire process feel natural and effortless. Natalie has a true talent for capturing moments in a way that feels both timeless and artistic. I also want to highlight her editing for film photos—it’s nothing short of incredible! The tones and textures she brings out are so beautifully done and added an extra layer of charm to the photos. If you’re looking for a photographer with an exceptional eye and a warm, professional approach, I can’t recommend Natalie enough. She’s truly a gem!

I'm a California native with a wanderlusting soul. I grew up in the snowy mountains of Lake Tahoe and spent my teenage years in the rainforests of Costa Rica before returning to the West Coast of the United States to study the art of wedding photography and earn my BFA with Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California.

We have used Grace as our photographer for both our Wedding many years ago and for more recent portrait shoots. She is always open to your concepts and your vision for your photos and with our wedding in particular our venue made her jump through too many hoops and she was such a great and professional sport about the whole thing the whole way through. It could have been very stressful for a bride and groom but she made sure it didn't cause any undue stress. Her photos remain the most lovely and Happy photos with such a light air to them that we love. I would recommend her to any!

We had such a wonderful experience with our photographer Samuel. He was very friendly, professional and helpful. He was flexible with our timeline and went out of his way to make our day run smooth. We were on a small budget and we feel like we got a lot for a very reasonable price.
