Holly Castillo Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,695
  • Serves Ventura, CA

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and documentary style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Awarded Best of Zola
This has taken me a little while to get to writing as after wedding day life has been a little chaotic but wanted to express praise where it was well deserved. Holly exceeded my husband and I's expectations as our photographer on our wedding day. Not only was she extremely professional, but she was kind, personable and very helpful. The photos ended up coming out GORGEOUS! We just could not be happier with her and are definitely going to be recommending her to anyone seeking a photographer.

Eli Suzuki-Gill Photography 

5.0

Ventura, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

Your wedding day is filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I’m here to capture them in a way that feels natural, effortless, and truly you. With a calm presence and an eye for storytelling, I focus on the real, unscripted moments—the quiet hand squeezes, the deep belly laughs, the happy tears—so you can relive them for years to come. My approach is simple: Be a steady, supportive presence, document your day with care, and make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you're camera-shy or love being in the spotlight, I'll guide when needed and step back when the magic happens naturally.

We were thrilled to have Eli as our wedding photographer! His relaxed manner and constant smile made the whole experience enjoyable. Eli has a wonderful ability to focus on capturing natural interactions, steering clear of overly cheesy poses, which was exactly what we were looking for. Our wedding ceremony took place at the Santa Barbara courthouse, and with 60 of our closest friends and family in attendance, Eli documented the intimate atmosphere. One of the highlights of our experience was when he surprised me by showing up at my hair appointment unannounced. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and he managed to capture special moments with my family that I will cherish forever. His willingness to go above and beyond throughout the entire day truly impressed us! Eli's photography style is modern and simple, featuring clean lines and natural colors that beautifully reflect the essence of our wedding day. He even brought along a second photographer for the ceremony, which was fantastic! This ensured that every precious moment was documented from multiple angles, and we are so glad he did. We can’t wait to plan our next party so that Eli can be there to capture every special moment again. If you're looking for a dedicated and talented photographer who is genuinely passionate about his craft, we wholeheartedly recommend Eli! Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!

Jasper & Oak is your choice for authentic and cinematic event coverage. At Jasper and Oak, we're all about celebrating love and those magical "I do" moments. Our passion is capturing your unique love story in a way that feels authentic and true to you. We believe that every smile, every tear, and every heartfelt vow deserves to be cherished for a lifetime. Let us be part of your journey to happily ever after, creating a wedding film that captures the essence of your special day. We offer video, photo, and photo booth packages.

I just want to say, booking Jasper & Oak was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband and I got married on 11/1/24 and from the day we spoke with Trent, he was attentive, kind, thoughtful, and all around just a wonderfully pleasant individual to speak with and work with. During multiple consultations prior to the wedding, Trent had wonderful ideas for our engagement and wedding photos; we look back at our photos constantly and tear up because they’re so beautiful! On the day of the wedding, the Jasper & Oak crew were extremely professional and attentive. They understood the best angles at the venue, and as a result, we have stunning sunset photographs. They took amazing candid photos of our guests which we will cherish forever. Trent took lovely and thoughtful photos of my traditional Iranian sofreh, the pictures were so beautiful. We can’t recommend Jasper & Oak enough and look forward to using them for more milestone events

Adam Kent Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Ventura, CA

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Adam is an absolute delight to work with! We used him for our engagement and wedding photos and not only did he have us laughing the entire time, but all of the photos came out better than I could ever imagine. Adam has the perfect eye for lighting and framing. 100/10 would recommend

Specializing in both wedding photography and videography, we offer affordable and customizable packages starting at $1295 that are designed to suit your unique vision and budget. We even offer a fun style test to help us match you with a photographer that aligns with the vibe of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
George Street Photography exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day even better than we could have hoped. From the start, they had us take a quiz to see which style of photography we liked most. Then, they gave us options of photographers that meet those criteria. Then, the photographers communicate with you directly and you fill out a form with all the details of your big day (and there were some things I probably would have forgotten without this!) They were extremely communicative and helped ease any concerns along the way. Not to mention, the price for not one but TWO photographers for my entire wedding was unbeatable! Our photographers were seriously the best and added so much life to our party! Towards the end of the night, one of our photographers, Jose, was on the dance floor with us being completely immersed and getting pictures that reflect exactly what it was like to be on that dance floor! And, we received all our pictures back in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS! This is absolutely unheard of, and was a great surprise! I will recommend George Street to all of my friends and family, and honestly anyone that will listen! They were absolutely incredible.

We are so happy that we went with Sound Originals! The process was extremely smooth and their online platform was so easy to use and update. Everyone on the team was transparent and helpful. We wanted to add another photographer a month before our wedding and Sound Originals made it happen. After my wedding I was able to change the editing to timeless from emerald after realizing I selected the wrong style. Our photographers were extremely professional and easy to work with and we cannot recommend this company enough!

We are incredibly grateful Xenia was our engagement/wedding photographer and couldn't be happier with the results! The photos will speak to her technical talent; her professionalism and dedication to her craft are evident in every shot. It was so hard for me to only select 6 photos. What the images don't explicitly show is that Xenia was an absolute joy to work with. She is clear, transparent, and helpful in her communication. Her straightforward and friendly communication ensured we were always on the same page and felt supported throughout the process. While shooting, she is organized and efficient. We got every shot we hoped for and then some. Her enthusiasm and joy were infectious. She made these two awkward nerds feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We cannot recommend Xenia enough! We will cherish the photos you took forever!

We are a wedding + elopement duo serving the Nashville area + some other special places that make us happy. We can’t wait to meet you!

Savannah went to school for videography and Jon is an OG drummer turned videographer that has really enjoyed getting to create. If we aren’t celebrating you and your love story, you can find us at the beach, probably eating some yummy food, and missing our fluff ball kitty at home. We are so easy going and love to be spontaneous with our plans.

Bedrosian Photo 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Ventura, CA

I was born in Beirut, raised in an Armenian home where Greek disco and Arabic music played nonstop thanks to my mom. That early blend of cultures shaped my love for exploring the world—I’ve traveled to over 20 countries so far, always drawn to new places, people, and perspectives. Photography became my way of connecting. It lets me dive into different cultures, capture honest moments, and hear stories that stay with me. Becoming a photographer helps fulfill that need to explore, to listen, and to create something meaningful. I treat every event like I’m photographing for family—because the connection always matters.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Bedrosian Photo was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Peter was funny, friendly, and truly cared about capturing our wedding day exactly how we wanted. He had no ego and listened intently to understand our vision. Looking at our photos now, it feels like we're right back at our wedding party - the candid shots are so beautiful and natural. Peter felt more like family than a vendor, and we're so grateful for how he contributed to making our special day so perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer.

MA & CA Your wedding isn’t just a sequence of events—it’s a mix of energy, quiet pauses, and the moments in between that hold the most meaning. You want a photographer who sees the unscripted, the unfiltered, and the unexpected—the things that make your day yours. I work with couples who value nostalgia, emotion, and a little edge in their wedding story. The ones who want their photos to feel like them—unposed, unforced, and unrepeatable. Whether it’s the weight of a glance, the rush of the dance floor, or the way your hands find each other in the middle of it all, every image is a keepsake of your story—without trends, AI edits, or formulas

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation, Justina demonstrated a professional, personal, and friendly communication style that put us at ease. Her positive energy, timely responses, and focus on details throughout the planning process was greatly appreciated. We loved Justina's artistic and unique approach to capturing cinematic and unique moments that truly reflected our vision. When an unexpected situation required a substitute photographer, Justina quickly found a great alternate photographer, shared every details for a smooth transition, and still completed all processing and editing. This led to us receiving a stunning gallery of photos. We couldn't have asked for a more communicative and valuable photography team to be a support our special day!

Gabbie Burseth Photo

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,200
  • Serves Ventura, CA

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabbie is the best of the best! I have been working with her for several years on brand projects and because she has always been such a pleasure to work with, it was a no-brainer to hire her for my wedding. I am all about the details, so I really appreciated her being willing to meet beforehand to understand exactly what I was looking for. She brought all of my editorial/Pinterest-worthy dreams to life! She arrived early, was highly professional, and made my wedding party feel totally comfortable. She perfectly captured moments I will cherish forever, and I could not recommend her enough!

I specialize in creating uniquely personalized images that will set your photos apart from the rest. I am stealthy and observant, catching all of the little moments that end up meaning so much more. Feedback from clients includes my seamless workflow and calm demeanor made for a stress-free photo experience and that I achieved the perfect mix of natural and directed moments that do not come off as stiff or posed. In addition to photography and videography I also specialize in designing unique "photobooth" sets for you and your guests to have stylized photos without tracking down the photographer.

I wish I could leave more stars! We had a vision of taking fun photos in the bar we met for our engagement and Bri brought that vision to the next level! She’s an artist and a professional, who really listens and takes care in every shot. She not only made sure we were happy with the experience but she let us in the process to make sure we would capture what we wanted. I’m an extremely camera shy bride but you would never know from looking at the end result. Bri made me feel so confident and comfortable. I forgot about the camera pressure or how my body might look because I trusted her and the process, and i’m so happy I did. Even the playlist she had set the right vibe and we could really relax to get photos that feel like us!
