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. :)

Kelly McDaniel Photography was excellent and honest in their communication with us throughout the wedding planning process. The quality of their work was truly customized and special, perfectly fitting our wants and needs. Kelly gave us valuable feedback on the timing and scheduling of the day, as well as thoughtful advice on how to best incorporate our decor and details into the photos. Kelly was so wonderful and perfect for our special day - we couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture all the magic.

  • 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.

From our very first interaction with Zej Radke Imagery, we were impressed by their clear, concise, and assertive communication style. Their compassionate, professional, and respectful approach put us at ease, and their innovative techniques allowed them to capture every special moment of our wedding day. Zej was incredibly friendly and made us feel like we were working with a close friend rather than just a photographer. He went above and beyond to ensure that he documented our day perfectly. We highly recommend Zej Radke Imagery for any occasion - their exceptional service and beautiful, high-quality work make them an outstanding choice for your wedding and pre-wedding shoot!

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.

  • Serves South El Monte, CA

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

Natalie is the most professional, genuine, and talented wedding photographer. I promise you that you cannot and simply will not find a lovelier, more generous, or more brilliant person to help you sidestep stress and make the wedding planning process and wedding day a joy. At our wedding, three different people asked me if I'd later share her contact information with them for whenever they got married. Just think about that for a moment: three people were so blown away by Natalie's warmth, energy, and beautiful, bubbly personality that they would hire her on the spot without having yet seen her stunning work and even though they weren't engaged. Natalie's smile brightens up an entire room, and she has a truly remarkable way of making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. She'll make you laugh, she'll keep your energy up, she'll capture the moments you dreamed would one day hang on your walls, and most of all, she will make you feel like your day, your marriage, and your love are the center of the entire world. This gift of her presence and love is extraordinary, and I promise you that it extends beyond anything you could ever hope or expect to receive from any wedding vendor. I cried when she sent us our photos because they are so profoundly beautiful and so full of the true emotion that she naturally drew from even the most reserved of our family members. Every photo was so natural and full of light and joy. Natalie has so much talent, and if you're one of her brides you'll quickly realize how lucky you are to have someone care so deeply about you and about capturing your special day. Before our wedding, Natalie spoke with me over email and on the phone, sent a thoughtful questionnaire to help us articulate our aesthetic and photography hopes, sent a quick engagement gift, and even checked in over text to make sure I was doing well the week before the wedding. After the wedding, she sent cute thank you gifts and GORGEOUS photos (you will love yours too!). But my favorite memory will always be from our wedding day when she took a moment to dance with my shy 5 year old nephew and draw him out of his shell so he could enjoy the party. The huge smile on his face will always be one of my most precious moments of our wedding day. My nephew, like so many of our guests, still ask about Natalie all the time. It was a pleasure to work with Natalie and to get to know her, and I hope you too will be fortunate to experience Natalie's light, love, and unparalleled talent.

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'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. As the owner of Let's Make a Memory in Los Angeles, I’ve earned awards from WPPI, The Portrait Masters, and WedAward. My work has been featured in top wedding magazines, and in 2016, SLR Lounge honored me among the "Top 21 of 2016’s Best Images."

We couldn’t be happier with the experience we had with Let’s Make a Memory! 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. If you want a creative, professional team that feels like friends and makes the whole process easy, look no further. Thank you, Adrian, for giving us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime!

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® 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!

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!

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!

Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

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.

Hello. I'm Steven. Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming a professional in 2017, I have serviced over 80 weddings at diverse locations in my career. Throughout 3 years of my profession, I have chosen the path of fine art photography, which embraces natural colors, rich content, and especially real-time emotions. Contrary to traditional documentary photographers, my goal is to capture every special moment of your wedding day by praising the beauty through lighting and composition.

Awarded Best of Zola
WOW!! Steven Nguyen Photography was one of the BEST INVESTMENT for out wedding. We're so glad we chose Steven and his team, they delivered everything on time and it was not hard to immediately say "YES" after our consultation call. Steven is simply an honest & nice guy, which was what stood out most during our zoom call. Besides his work, my husband and I felt we connected well with him and the trust was evident, since day one. Steven was always responsive and courteous in all of our communication. I reserved my date with Steven about a year in advance to ensure that he locks in that date with us before someone else does (reserving a GOOD wedding photographer in Southern California can be competitive). I love how all of our interaction/communication were more than just a transaction. My husband and I love working with Steven and we felt like we could totally hangout with him and his wife (Connie). We didn't meet Connie until our wedding day and let me tell y'all...she is a whole different vibe (in a good way). I'm so glad she accompanied Steven, she was fun to be around, so down to earth, and awesome to be around. She brings this burst of energy and fun to the wedding team. Steven's artistic work made it look like it was a million dollar wedding (I don't know how, but he did it). We literally couldn't stop smiling and giggling at all the candid moments, he captured it all. With a wedding part size of 250....it's hard to keep track of who showed up that day, but he got everyone. To simply summarize, we are IN LOVE with our photos. Steven's work evokes a sense of elegance, filled with candid emotions that tell a story between two people in the most honest and organic way. Reserve your special day with Steven to ensure that your gallery will be delivered beyond your expectations.

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
Roberta is AMAZING! Our wedding venue includes the photographer in the package, so we reached out to her to see if she could do our engagement photos, without a wedding package. She was so flexible, able to meet us at our chosen location and even let us reschedule last minute because of rain. She made us feel so relaxed even though it can be awkward acting couple-y in public in front of a camera. Our photos turned out perfectly, really capturing our love for each other. I am particularly impressed with her use of lighting and ability to capture the movement of my hair. I would highly recommend her for your big day or other photo needs! Update: Because of COVID, we chose to host a small, intimate wedding rather than working with our original venue. We loved Roberta's work for our engagement photos and asked her to photograph our mini-wedding as well. She helped us work out a timeline that made sense for such a small ceremony and captured our special day beautifully.

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 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 photographed our engagement, wedding, graduation and maternity photos. This review is long overdue. She’s so communicative and professional. She’ll make you feel comfortable right away and knows her stuff. She takes beautiful photos. You won’t regret going with her for your photos for any occasion. She’s awesome and just a super nice person and wonderful photographer. For our wedding, she went above and beyond and got so many great photos. Do it, go book her now.

Emily is the best! From planning to wedding day, Emily was there to help whenever I reached out with a question. On our wedding day, she brought the best energy (especially working in 100 heat during our ceremony), she captured our wedding so beautifully and her style of editing is absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to capture your special day.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!
