Becky G Studios 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Stanford, CA

California native, PNW resident, coffee drinker, dog scritcher, friend, forward-thinker, designer. I hate having my photo taken (go figure), my dog Boone makes me laugh every day, and I thrive off of honest, intentional conversations. I’ve worked as a photographer for over 8 years and I know that half the job is connecting with people and offering them an experience, not just a gallery. I believe you have to feel comfortable with the person behind the camera before you can let go and fully be yourself in front of it.

Becky worked with us for our elopement photoshoot in October 2023 and it was an incredible experience from inquiry through the photoshoot itself. I had been referred to Becky through a friend who had worked with Becky on her own beautifully photographed wedding. Becky’s warm response to my inquiry set the stage for a great experience. Becky is exceedingly organized and communicative, meeting with us over video chat and later chatting with us through her online portal. She helped us create a shared vision for the day, and leading up to the photoshoot, we felt confident the day would go very well. I was admittedly very nervous for the shoot, as I feel uncomfortable posing in front of a camera. Becky’s demeanor - calm, comfortable, funny, and enthusiastic - settled my nerves immediately and allowed me to be present with my husband on this meaningful day. The photos Becky took are simply incredible. She captured our relationship and new marriage beautifully, while also highlighting the gorgeous landscape. Becky’s photos are truly a gift we cherish.

Hello! Whether you're seeking a content creator to capture the behind the scene moments on your big day or a photographer for your couples shoot, I am your person! I aim to capture all the details that are typically missed.

I recently worked with Kathy for an engagement photoshoot at SF City Hall. She was incredibly flexible when we arrived late, which we really appreciated. She took the time to capture a wide variety of shots around the area, and her friendly demeanor made the experience enjoyable. She also provided helpful directions during the shoot, making it a fun outing overall. Thank you for your hard work! (Added my favorite photo. I like the motion of it which is quite apt given we were dancing, and the lighting is romantically moody.)

I’m Cherlyn (rhymes with Berlin). So nice to e-meet you! If we met in person and it wasn’t during a pandemic- I would probably hug you! I’m an introvert-extrovert and tend to ramble too much when I get nervous. In emails - I tend to use exclamation points a lot!! (and will agonize over my drafts of emails before sending them because they probably have one too many!!) My aim as your photographer is to provide a memorable experience where you two feel comfortable, taken care of, and get to fully enjoy your wedding day as much as possible with all your guests & loved ones - whether they be in real life or via livestream!

Cherlyn is a dream. A friend of ours recommended her to us for our engagement photos and I swear she has some inside scoop with the sun because the lighting was insane (in a good way). She literally managed to find every single shimmer the golden hour had to offer. My husband (never gets old) and I pulled together a somewhat last minute ceremony and reached out equally last minute to see if she was available, and thankfully she was. Our ceremony was followed by dinner and drinks at two separate locations hours apart - so we had super low expectations for capturing the whole day. Cherlyn not only came to each location, she helped with set up, and did her thing making sure every special moment was photographed. She's personable, thoughtful and will go out of her way to make you and your partner feel comfortable. For us she felt like an extension of our community and a new friend. If you're in the SF Bay Area, look no further. You won't be disappointed.

Artistic storytelling for the fun, kind and adventurous. Hi friend! :) I'm your neighborhood artist, goofy empath, & lover of dogs and human beans. (Name is pronounced Hasmeen, kinda like jalapeño) My goal is to be a source of joy and vulnerability in your life while helping you feel grounded on your big day and ~even more~ grateful for the life you live and the love you choose. 

Awarded Best of Zola
5 stars doesn't seem like nearly enough recognition for Jazmín and her absolutely beautiful work. From day one with us, she was incredibly kind, and sought out to learn more about us as both individuals and as a couple, to better capture the essence of who we are throughout our engagement shoot and wedding alike. She is so very talented and has such an incredible eye for the beauty in her clients, the world around them, and has such a deep perspective on how to blend all of these aspects together to ensure that you have these memories for the rest of your life. The days following our wedding, I felt very melancholy, as I had felt our fun filled day had gone by too fast. Now, with Jazmín's astonishing pictures and her ability to capture raw emotion in every frame, my wife and I have the blissful opportunity to relive our day together over and over and over again. Not to mention, she is an absolute sweetheart and made us feel so very special in so many ways. I PROMISE you needn't look any further when searching for a photographer to help you immortalize your special day with your loved ones.

I am a Colorado raised-and-based photographer, serving couples in Boulder County, Denver Metro and beyond. Nothing gets my heart pumping like documenting memories. I live for freezing all the firsts.

Ali could not have been any more perfect! She really played an integral part in pulling together our special day and she made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Her expertise in herding my family was greatly appreciated and we cannot recommend her enough! We never realized how incredibly important an experienced photographer would be in keeping our wedding running on schedule, but she was easily just as important as our onsite coordinator! Our wedding would not have been the same without her :)

Natalie is amazing! I was so thankful to find her relatively last minute before my wedding. She created a very detailed timeline that we used for all of our vendors. Natalie was always quick to respond if I ever had any questions. I was so excited to receive so many photos in our sneak peaks just a few days after the wedding. Natalie and her assistant photographer really captured every moment at my wedding. The turn around time for edits blew me away. I could not recommend her enough! Hopefully soon we will be using her for a family shoot ;)

Our planners recommended our GeeQ Photos, and I’m so glad they did. From our first initial meeting with George, everything was so well organized and seamless.

During our wedding weekend, he had a clear vision of how our photos should turn out, and he made sure to capture the perfect shots. George is very detail-oriented and ensured that every moment was beautifully captured. He and his team got along with my family and friends wonderfully, and everyone was impressed with his professionalism. After our wedding, he communicated the timeline for delivering the final photos and met the deadline as promised. The photos came out absolutely stunning and everyone is so impressed with his work.

Oklahoma raised, Princeton educated, and founder of Portrait of a Young Couple, documenting how couples of all backgrounds and identities across the world live and love. I'd love to be a part of helping to capture you and your partner's love.

We worked with Vincent for our wedding in February of 2021. We scheduled our wedding with him several months beforehand. Leading up to the day, he had checked in several times to see how our plans had been coming, evolving, and what our expectations were the day of. He is incredibly personable, professional, and talented. We didn't ask for a lot of specific shots and the few we did ask for came out way better than we could have possibly imagined. Vincent took beautiful photos of us, our family, and our friends. For our camera-shy friends, he kept laughing with us, creating an atmosphere of joy and stress-free photography! He was quick to ensure that all of us being photographed were comfortable. Since our wedding, we have recommended him to literally every person who lets us know that they're engaged. We really can't say enough about Vincent and his work! The best we can say is that we highly recommend working with him- he is a truly amazing human and photographer!

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

My name is Helena, pronounced Ha-Leen-nuh (don't worry I get it all the time haha) I am a San Francisco native and ex-Silicon Valley techie who decided to take leap of faith (during the pandemic) to pursue my dreams of being a full-time Wedding Photographer. This journey has been SO wild, but I don't regret a minute of it. When you hire me, you hire not only a photographer, but a planner and a cheerleader as well ;) If you like dogs or cats, coffee (oat milk lattes FTW), thriving plants, outdoor adventures, dancing, and sunsets, I think we'll get along great ;)

Helena beautifully captured our elopement last month. Her photos are warm, natural, and full of personality. I don't think my husband and I could have been happier with how the photos turned out. We ended up taking formal wedding photos at the Palace of Fine Arts and some more casual couple portraits on Crissy Field Beach. The majority of the comments we got from friends and family were centered around how epic and awesome our photos turned out and how our photographer choice was a 10/10. Behind the scenes, she was an endless source of enthusiasm and encouragement, and gave us amazing posing tips and suggestions. Even prior to the big day, she meticulously spent time discussing outfits, locations, and logistics to make sure the day was perfect. We're so glad we were able to jump on the Helena rocket ship as her career as a full time wedding photographer takes off. After our session, our close friends were so impressed with our photos that they booked their engagement and wedding shots with her as well. We have no doubt that her accolades will pile up and she'll be a go to recommendation for our friends and family. Definitely book her for your engagement, wedding, and photo shoots!

To say I am obsessed with our wedding photos would be an understatement. Amber truly surpassed all of my expectations and I could not be more thankful for all of her guidance. Amber made the entire photography experience feel extremely natural and un scripted. I honestly couldn’t believe how amazing my husband and I looked in our photos. I’ve never loved photos of myself and I was blown away! I highly recommend Amber to everyone looking for an incredible wedding photographer

From the moment we first connected, we knew it was a perfect fit. Their passion for their craft was infectious, and their genuine interest in our vision was heartwarming. They took the time to get to know us, understand our hopes for the day, and answer every question, no matter how small. On the wedding day itself, they were on their time sharp. They were like ninjas. They were everywhere and nowhere at the same time, capturing every laugh, tear, and dance move without ever being intrusive. They blended seamlessly into the background, yet somehow managed to be in the perfect position for every precious shot. But it wasn't just their technical skill that blew us away. It was their genuine care and attention to detail. They anticipated our needs before we even knew them. They weren't just vendors; they felt like friends, there to support us and celebrate with us every step of the way. And the results? They were nothing short of breathtaking. The photos are exquisite - vibrant and artistic, capturing every emotion and detail with stunning clarity. They tell the story of our day in a way that words never could, making us relive the magic every time we look at them. The video? It's a masterpiece. It's not just a compilation of clips; it's a cinematic experience, weaving together laughter, tears, and heartwarming moments into a cohesive narrative that pulls at your heartstrings. We've already watched it countless times, and each time, it feels like we're back there, living the dream all over again. Asti and Amir, you didn't just capture our wedding; you captured our souls. You gave us a gift that we will cherish forever, a tangible reminder of the love, laughter, and pure magic of our most special day. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being such an incredible part of our story. For future couples seeking their dream wedding photographer and videographer, look no further.

My mission is to work hard to deliver quality images and give my clients a comfortable, enjoyable experience full of smiles and laughter from the initial contact through the session and even after the final product is delivered.

Jess was beyond amazing and made our day so special. It was incredible how beautiful our pictures turned out and she captured everything I could have ever imagined and beyond. It was actually quite impressive looking through the wedding album after we received it because Jess seemed like she was everywhere all of the time. She captured every moment sometimes with different angles and I am so grateful to be able to relive our wedding day while looking through the photos. I thought I would regret not having a videographer but Jess truly captured everything from start to finish and that the day just comes back to life when I look through all of the photos. As she captured our wedding day she was soooo very patient with my husband and I, our family, and all our friends. Everyone spoke so highly of her after our wedding and really appreciated having a relaxed, caring, funny, kind, and professional photographer. She also helped me while getting ready and truly made it so I could fully enjoy my wedding. I also asked her to shoot my graduation photos and lets just say I don't think I will ever inquire for a different photographer. I am looking forward to continuing to have her capture precious moments in my life for as long as she continues photography. Thank you for being more than I could have ever hoped for and capturing some of the most memorable days in my life and making them so extremely special. You are the best Jess!!! 3

Armando is an absolutely amazing photographer which we already knew after our engagement photo shoot that was included in our wedding photo package. However, once we received our wedding photos, we were absolutely blown away! Not only did he take absolutely breathtaking portraits and capture big moments throughout the day, but he caught a lot of sweet little moments of our guests. After sharing the gallery with some of our family and friends, many of them commented “ I can’t believe your photographer caught this moment of my sons, dad, mom, etc”. We are completely able to re-live our day with his photos. I don’t even understand how he was able to do it, but he also put together an 11 minute highlight video capturing our vows, big moments and many more little moments throughout the day! I was balling while watching it! Also, really important to us was Armando was extremely responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process and even came to our 30 days out venue walk through to make sure we were on the same page. Armando is an extremely talented photographer and you’d be lucky to book him for your wedding day!

The final set of photos was fantastic and the final 6 minute highlight video they sent us was absolutely fantastic; all of our friends and family we've shown it to adore it! We highly recommend The I Do.

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Stanford, CA

The reasons people choose us over our competitors are: 1) Our communication is the best in the industry 2) No hidden fees, no travel rates(if booked before 2025), the quote you receive is the total amount. 3) We offer a very flexible payment plan, where you choose the dates you wish to pay on! We serve clients across California and throughout the entire U.S. 😁

Honestly Jose saved our lives! Previously to hiring him and his team, my wife and I had gotten scammed by a photographer. I was scared and of course super stressed about finding a new photographer I could trust and I could rely on. From the beginning the communication with Jose was amazing and this is so important with any wedding vendor. He captured our wedding so beautifully and that’s all we really want when hiring a wedding photographer. He even sent sneak peeks like two days after the wedding! And our pictures were ready so fast! I highly recommend New Ending Productions for your wedding and all your photography needs.

Welcome. "I BELIEVE...connection matters. Photos tell our story and carry our legacy. Melanin matters on camera. Every human deserves to be seen. 8 out of 10 humans say they feel awkward in front of the camera; Laughter is the antidote." ​ It is my loud passion to capture the personality of relationship...within couples, families, communities, and even organizations. And I have been this way since I was a kid. With my hot pink camera in tow, 8-year old me would capture the loud joy of my BIG extended family. Little did I know...they were my training ground in photography. And I am happy to say that my approach to photography hasn't changed.

Brandi and her team are extremely talented in addition to being thoughtful, kind, funny, and just a joy to work with. Our friends and family kept telling us how much they enjoyed her presence as well. Would highly recommend!!!

Hello! I’m Laura Ford, a Midwestern native who has fully adopted sunny Southern California as home. I’ve been living and working in Los Angeles & Santa Barbara since 2013, and have happily kissed winter boots and car ice scrapers goodbye forever!  As far as aesthetic goes, my photos are bright, cheerful and thoughtfully framed. Combining the perfect setting with the right color palate and a bit of art direction for my clients is my superpower. My approach for portraits can be described as editorial, and my goal is to artfully capture the essence of you!

Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were attentive, willing to get on the phone with us, and on top of any changes we needed to make. They explored our venue ahead of time to find the best photo spots, guided us through the entire process, and delivered our photos with a super quick turnaround. Laura and her team really took the time to get to know my husband and I, which made the whole experience feel so personal. They were also incredibly flexible and willing to work with all the dynamics of my family. Laura is simply wonderful, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that captured our special day.

If you are in the market for a photographer, you simply can’t do better than CMSours Photography. Christina has a way of making you feel entirely at ease while you are taking photos, that even the most camera shy of customers will immediately feel comfortable with her. During the day of my engagement, Christina was willing to get there earlier than planned to scope out the best areas for shots and walk me through some contingency plans in the event the weather didn’t cooperate. Having this level of communication and willingness to go above and beyond made me feel like Christina was just as invested in our engagement going smoothly as I was. Afterwards, Christina shared the photos with us super quickly, so we could send them to family and friends who couldn’t be there with us. We can’t recommend Christina enough - she is highly personable, professional, and her photos make for beautiful treasures that we will cherish forever!

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly can’t recommend Tara and her team more highly. Not only is she an incredibly skilled and professional photographer who always captures that shot of a moment you never want to forget, she’s also a wonderfully kind, funny, and thoughtful person to work with. We first met when she shot engagement and wedding photos for my husband and I, and for years to come we reminisced about how great she was at taking beautiful photos and also wrangling wild, wiggly little kiddos. She even pitched in at our wedding and with a big smile on her face, bustled my enormous wedding dress — her assistant got a great photo of that! We were thrilled with how our photos turned out, as well as our 5 minute cinematic video which felt like the quality of an epic movie trailer of our special day. We were so happy to see her again for another family wedding years later, and most recently she took stunning and personal family photos with our little one. I’m already conjuring up another reason to work with Tara again because in addition to her gorgeous photos, she’s just a great person to be around.
