From the moment we first spoke with Ari from Theel Productions, we knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding. Ari has a warm, friendly, and cheerful communication style that instantly put us at ease. She is an expert at what she does, and her talent was evident in the way she authentically captured every special moment during our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. We truly felt so special to work with Ari - she is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, timely, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

Lulan’s creativity has led to his path beyond most conventional definitions. He has won 25+ wedding photography awards, named the Best Wedding Photographer in Los Angeles; while acquired advance degree in immunology and medicine from UCLA.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Lulan Studios about nine months before our wedding day. We were immediately drawn in by their professionalism and their reputation. Lulan is an inclusive photographer who was very receptive to our wedding vision. He and his team were incredibly kind, supportive, and helpful all throughout the process. We elected to go with Lulan Wang himself for our photographer who worked with an associate. After our initial consultation we were turned over to Shannon who was our go to contact for day to day clarifications and vendor contact until Lulan took over just before the wedding. Shannon was immensely resourceful and responsive. She communicated with our coordinator very efficiently and was always on top of our booking. We are very grateful to her as well for making the process so easy and for continuing that communication after the fact. On the day, Lulan and his associate were spectacular. It was clear his associate had more than enough talent for the job just like Lulan, but they divided and concurred by using two different types of cameras for different types of shots. We regret not doing an engagement session with them, but we will likely return for an Anniversary session in the future. We didn’t even need one though, because he is skilled enough that he understood us as a couple immediately. They made us feel comfortable and confident. They hyped us up and moved through the shot list masterfully. Nothing was missed and we captured far more than we expected. Please look through our attached photos as they speak for themselves. One of the most exciting moments was when Lulan handed us a little blue book filled with about fifteen physically printed preview photos DURING THE RECEPTION. A lovely surprise that absolutely shocked me. Turnover was 4-6 weeks and we got ours just before the six week mark right on schedule. We were floored. They are jaw-dropping. We ultimately got 950 photos permanently digitally available for high resolution download and access to a shop with impressive options for prints and albums of a wide array of types and sizes. I’m thrilled to show them to you here and implore you to consider booking Lulan Studios. We trusted in their ability from the beginning and we were not disappointed. They are among if not the absolute best in the business.

Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming professional in 2017, my journey has taken me across the United States and around the world, where I've had the privilege of serving more than 200 couples on their special day. My approach to photography stands apart from traditional documentary styles. I focus on the natural colors and rich content of each moment, striving to highlight real-time emotions through thoughtful lighting and composition. My goal is to celebrate the unique narrative of every couple by capturing their happiness and love story with a distinct light-and-airy perspective.

Awarded Best of Zola
To future couples seeking a wedding photographer, Steven is more than just a professional behind the camera; he is an artist who paints with light, capturing the beauty, joy, and love that define a wedding. We are eternally grateful for his artistry and dedication, and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in search of not just a photographer, but a true storyteller who will elevate your special day to a level of pure magic. Unfortunately we were only able to do a pre-wedding photoshoot with him and not our wedding day due to availability. But the pre-wedding pictures are truly precious because we can include our fur baby with us. Highly recommended doing a pre-wedding shoot especially if you have fur babies. The wedding day will be too hectic and it's hard to include your pets on that day. I can't thank Steven enough for his amazing skills in capture the best moments in such short amount of time. It was only 1.5 hours of photoshoot but the results are outstanding. Steven knows exactly what to do to make us comfortable to pose and capture not just the scenery but our emotions as well. We have done multiple photoshoots so we know how hard it is to pose and get good angles on your facial expressions. By far, the photoshoot with Steven is the best experience. It was so quick and enjoyable, we did not sweat or grow tired at all. Even the groom/my husband was having a good time with Steven, and you know how annoying men are when it comes to do photoshoot ;) If the groom love the photoshoot experience, you know this photographer is hella good :) Not only he's fast and precise in taking photos, his delivery time is amazingly fast. If I have to rate Steven, I'd give him 15/10 :) absolutely incredible job!

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We wish to express our profound appreciation for the remarkable team at Shevchik Production. From the instant we engaged their services for our nuptials, they surpassed our anticipations in every conceivable way. Their proficiency, decorum, and extraordinary talent infused our day with a unique touch of specialness. The experience of collaborating with the Shevchik Production crew was nothing short of delightful. They were not just exceptionally gifted photographers but also warm-hearted and considerate persons who ensured we felt relaxed and content throughout the entire endeavor. Their congenial and accessible attitude paved the way for an immediate rapport. During our wedding, Alex, Kate, Oleg, and Anton demonstrated remarkable teamwork, freezing every cherished instant with meticulousness and artistic flair. Their capacity to encapsulate the core of our love and the heartfelt emotions of the day was genuinely impressive. Our amazement knew no bounds when Shevchik Production unveiled a preliminary glimpse of our wedding photos within a day. This unexpected gift enabled us to revisit the enchantment of our extraordinary day almost immediately. The photos' caliber and artistry were awe-inspiring, embodying not just the minutiae but also the affection and jubilation that permeated the event. The whole Shevchik Production team's devotion to their artistry was manifest in each image they captured. Their keen eye for detail, originality, and knack for seizing genuine moments culminated in an array of photos that outshone our most extravagant dreams. They narrated the tale of our wedding day in the most sublime manner, and for their artistic prowess and commitment, we will always remain indebted.

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.

We were so lucky to find Cassy to photograph our wedding! From the beginning, she was professional, quick to respond, and brought the energy. During our initial meeting, Cassy listened to my vision and understood exactly what I was going for. We wanted a themed, nerdy wedding, and funny enough, she was also a fan of the theme we had! She was so helpful through the process, especially with the added stress of postponements with COVID. On the day of our wedding, she provided so much guidance with posing, lighting, background, etc. to make sure all the photos turned out the best they could be. Lastly, her photos are beautiful! We love the bright and light look, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place!

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

If you are getting married in SoCal, and it’s important to you to find a team of photographers that make you feel comfortable and make your love shine through the camera, look no further than Peterson Design Photography . Marissa and Tim are not only a great team, communicators and photographers, but they are also pretty awesome to talk to; before, during and after your event. They took great care with our angles and personalities, they really made us shine with joy while taking photos, even when we are far from ideal models. Marissa had impeccable communication to make sure no detail is left to chance, and that was so reassuring to a type-a like me that had tons of checklists and picture inspiration. Being honest, we won a giveaway and didn’t do an economic investment for our elopement, but the value in all their work makes me confident in saying that they are worth it, that YOU and YOUR event are worth the investment, to get pictures that truly capture the real emotions of the day. We are so grateful to Marissa and Tim, and would trust them a million times again with our most precious day

I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

Hi there! I'm Zack, a wedding photographer from Orange County, Ca. Ever since I was a young kid studying (and sketching!) bugs in the backyard, I've had a fierce love for the details in the little moments of this crazy life. I got my first "real" camera when I was 12 and was instantly hooked. As I grew, so did my passion and ability to translate those moments into memories. I had the chance to help photograph a wedding when I was 17 and wow! What an experience! That night, I looked through the photos and fell in love. I knew that capturing the moments that would mean something to someone for the rest of their life was where I belonged.

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

And let me tell you they came out the most beautifully aesthetic photos ever. These are not cookie cutter photos, her candid photos of the night captured the vibe and personality of the wedding and all of the guests and told a story of the night so perfectly. I actually cry every time I think of my great great grandchildren looking at these pictures one day and think ‘wow they were so cool and beautiful’. I cannot recommend Hannah enough!!!

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

We are so happy that we chose Madeleine as our photographer. From the first email onward she was always very friendly and easy to communicate with. We chose her because we love her work and editing style but our experience with her surpassed all expectations. She is a genius behind the lens. She coordinated with us wonderfully and made many great suggestions. We met her in person for the first time at our engagement photo session and felt comfortable with her right away. She was very patient with me and understanding of my health/special needs. And during our wedding day she facilitated the day and kept us on schedule for photos. She worked great with our vendor team and made our experience a lovely one. She is so kind and professional. We absolutely love all of the photos we have received so far. We highly recommend her .

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

Nadia and Gunnar are so lovely to work with. Not only did I end up with images I will love forever but they made me feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. They are professional and well seasoned. Their eye is incredible and I look forward to working with them again in the future!

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

Awarded Best of Zola
We met with a handful of photographers before we settled on Steve. Beyond his ability to capture candid moments of joy, laughter, and celebration, Steve's honesty and transparency made us feel at home with our decision to move forward with his services. He incorporated an engagement shoot into our photography package, and spending that additional time with him prior to our big day helped us feel so much more comfortable with the entire process. After our engagement shoot, Steve was kind enough to grab lunch (dim sum) with us in LA's Chinatown, going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in his presence. Steve is the most laid-back, amicable photographer you could ask for, and it was a privilege to have him capture our wedding. He is a kind soul and fits in splendidly with any crowd. We look forward to using his services for many more milestones in the future.

I have worked with Miku a few times and I have to say, the qualities of her photographs is amazing of course, and her pictures give a dynamic but warm feeling which the clients were also satisfied. Her personality is very friendly and I think she has the skills to make the clients comfortable. Also, her posture toward work is great, she replies to messages fast so she is easy to work with. I hope to continue to work with her in the future.

Hi! I'm Ria, but my friends call me Ri. I'm a Southern California based photographer traveling worldwide for weddings, elopements & love. There's nothing that makes me happier than making other people feel fucking GREAT about themselves. I care about eternalizing your story, no matter your race, gender, sexuality or body type — i’m here for you.

If I could give this girl more stars I would. Her work is incredible and I had high expectations for my wedding (because she killed it for my engagement photo shoot) - and man did she blow it out of the water. I felt like I was reliving my dream day when I looked through my gallery - and cried so many times I had to call my mom. Her photos are best in class, and she's the most fun, down to earth person to work with. She made me feel so comfortable the entire day - even though it was 100 degrees outside. I can't recommend her enough, she's a rockstar photographer.

"Who's that girl, it's Jess!" Hey guys, I'm Jess! I love all things New Girl, The Legend of Zelda, and Broadway Musicals! I like to describe myself as Jessica Day, minus the really talented singing voice, but just overall kind of quirky and nerdy. I love capturing love stories, and fan girling hard core over all things wedding! If you need someone who is going to help you walk through your planning process, I'm your girl! You can also catch me binge eating tacos and ice cream while editing until 3am!

We used Jessica for our December 2018 wedding up north, and let me tell you: SHE IS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY. Jess is not only a joy to work with, but her photos are absolutely incredible. I have loved sharing our engagement and wedding photos with our friends and family, and the reactions are always so positive. My husband and I are not the best at posing, but she made us feel comfortable every step of the way, with such incredible results. Thank you Jess for all that you do!

This guy is not only amazing with a camera, but he also kept things relaxed, which was great because I'm usually not the best with cameras around. The photos came out very nice too!! He also delivered the photos quickly, which was a nice surprise. If you're looking for a photographer who's easygoing and skilled, G's worth checking out. Looking forward to our wedding :)
