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

You always picture how your wedding will be. The amazing feeling you will have to see everything you envisioned come together into one beautiful day. How much fun you will have getting ready in the morning with your best friends, sisters, and momma’s. And the love in your Husbands eyes when he see’s his future wife walking down the aisle. You picture the beauty of the day both visually and emotionally, and how you will cherish those memories forever. Perhaps one of the most import jobs on your wedding day is given to who you entrust in capturing those moments. I met Natalie through work. I am a wedding coordinator, and I had reached out to her when I started working in the area. I was in awe over her talent, and straight away felt a connection to how she captured such pure and beautiful moments. I knew after meeting her that she would one day be my wedding photographer! Our wedding day was everything that I could of ever asked for. It was such a incredible day with so much love and beauty. Natalie absolutely blew my already very high expectations out of the water. She is so good at what she does. Natalie made taking all of our photos so much fun. She knew when to allow us to have space and be in the moment, and when to direct and take charge. You want to be able to get caught up in the moment on your wedding day and not have to be the one worrying about who to take photos with or what needs to be captured next. She did such a wonderful job at making sure we got all the shots we needed, but allowing us to enjoy and have fun with all of them. From standing on chairs, to driving up hills, to dancing with us on the dance floor Natalie did whatever it took to get the most raw and sincere footage of our most special day. My husband and I cry every time we look through our wedding album and that is a huge thanks to Natalie Schutt Photography.

  • Serves Ventura, CA

My name is Jonathan Moore. I am a Los Angeles based wedding photographer and available worldwide. I'll get right to it: The very last thing I want is for you to think of your experience with me as a "photoshoot." I think that posed "prom" photos are totally lame and reflect absolutely nothing unique about you or your partner. After all, you are not actors pretending to be "in love," so why should your images reflect that? At the core, your images should ultimately remind you of why you fell in love in the first place. This is what we're celebrating!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Jonathan was awesome! Communication was easy and we met with him and did a tour of the venue to align on exactly what we wanted. He was super helpful on the day but didn’t get in the way at all! The photos were absolutely amazing, we seriously couldn’t be happier with the output. He really captured who we are and how we feel About each other without any awkward posing which I personally hate lol. Thanks so much!!!

I don't have words to thank her for the things she did for us. I appreciated every click, every moment. She helped me with absolutely everything before and during my elopement. Even when we were in completely different zones. She understood exactly how my husband and I wanted our memories to be told and eternalized. She will always gonna be in our best memory!

The Hendrys 

5.0

Pasadena, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Ventura, CA

We're a Scottish duo living our best lives in Los Angeles! We appreciate unpopular TV shows, all the vegan food, and a good old road trip. But our most favorite thing is our two fur-kids (bunnies!). We are not typical wedding photographers, that is for certain. We go against the usual grain, and that's exactly how we like it to roll. Normal is boring. Well, for us, at least. Not just for the 'wild at heart' and 'free-spirited'. For e v e r y o n e. And we mean it. We don't discriminate. Ever.

We're actually rating The Hendrys one trillion stars out of five because they are "out of this world" amazing photographers and you should stop reading this review and book them ASAP! If you're still reading though, let us break down our perfect experience with them: They were recommended to us by our venue (Valentine DTLA) and we fell in LOVE with them as soon as we saw their website! Their portfolio and "about me" won us over because we were looking for wedding photographers who could capture the in-between moments, do some fun stylized shots, and be just as fun and goofy as we are! We reached out over the website and heard back from them immediately over email. Their super funny, yet professional personality came through and that got us so excited to work with them! They were also open to us asking as many questions as we wanted (especially when it came to the contract), which made us feel even more comfortable! We then got to meet them over ZOOM where we broke down how the day would go, they asked us what kind of pictures we were looking for, and we just got to know each other. We honestly may have become best friends with them as we couldn't stop talking to them about everything and anything for 2 hours. After that, we knew we were gonna be in the best hands, but we could never have ever imagined how perfect they really would be! When it finally came to the wedding day, The Hendrys went above and beyond! They were extremely professional as they kept us on schedule while experimenting with different types of photos (using a Fish Eye Lens, prisms, neon lights, etc.). They knew how to make everything feel super relaxed and fun and just let us do whatever was natural to us no matter what kind of photo it was. While we were losing it over the fact we just got married, The Hendrys just let us take everything in while politely directing us for photos. When we weren't doing staged photos, they were out of sight, but taking stunning photographs of everything that was happening in between. They were like ninjas as they would disappear and then reappear and grab us for the next shoot! It really was so cool! A few weeks after the wedding, we received our photos in record time and they were the COOLEST PHOTOS EVER (which you can see attached to this review)! We cannot thank The Hendrys enough for their hilarious stories, non-stop professionalism, unwavering kindness & selflessness, and being true magicians with their cameras and artistic vision. We couldn't be more grateful for everything that they did and we feel like the luckiest married couple in the world thanks to them! Now quit reading this review and go be the next luckiest married couple in the world and book The Hendrys! They're worth every single penny! - The D'Elia's

Welcome. I'm D e r e c k. I've been doing photography and videography since 2017. It wasn't until the pandemic of last year that I decided to take a leap of faith and make it a full-time career. I feel like I've always had a burning passion for photography and editing, I love photography because it captures a moment in time. Whether that moment is your wedding day or an annual family portrait, pictures enable us to relive and remember special occasions again + again. Why I specifically dove into Wedding Photography? Simple!! My love for creativity and seeing passionate couples that aren't afraid to show their personalities

Dereck was such a pleasure to work with! He is very organized and flexible. Our wedding photos came out beautiful despite our small venue and lack of scenery. His energy was very relaxed which was so helpful on such a hectic day. We would absolutely book him again!

They even had this fun, virtual schedule that helped our guests know exactly where to meet us and when with google links and contacts to call on the team if they were lost... so they weren't calling us! It was so intimate and special. I cannot thank them enough for giving us the day of our dreams!

Welcome! My name is Maisie but I also so by my nickname, Maze! I am a professional photographer based in San Diego, California! I have been in the wedding industry for 6+ years now - I am so proud of the work I create and the connections I form. To ensure I perform at my best, I only take on around 12 weddings a year. I truly cannot wait to meet you and answer any questions you may have.

I wanted to gatekeep cause she's the best photographer in San Diego and I don't want her to get too busy for me. LOL jk but Maze is seriously a pro yet she is so personable and she felt like an extra bridesmaid, coordinator, and friend on my wedding day vs just another wedding vendor. No one could figure out how to bustle my dress but maze stepped in and literalllyyyy saved my dress. She also fixed my eyelashes when my glue was coming off and made sure my hair was perfect in the photos. A woman of MANY talents! I will forever cherish our photos. As usual they turned out amazing and I could not picked a better photographer to capture our day. I am eternally grateful for you!

Hi! I'm Hannah, your So Cal (but traveling) elopement and intimate wedding photographer! I'm so glad you're here. My photography style is a documentary/natural photographer. This means I'm more about documenting your moments and helping you create genuine smiles/moments in photos, opposed to just posing you, i want you to dance and have fun, snuggle into your partner and get those intimate moments. (I'll of course help you figure out what to do with your hands, because lets me honest, even I don't know what to do with my hands in photos. Haha) I love traveling, I love adventure, and I love making friends out of my clients.

Hannah is definitely one of my preferred vendors. Her photos are beautiful and overall she was the most pleasant, fun and easy to work with photographer I have had! Couldn't refer her enough!

Acampo, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,950
  • Serves Ventura, CA

I have been photographing couples for nearly 10 years and have loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed following them through engagement, wedding, maternity and now family sessions. I have even become life long friends with some of them. I am a mother of 3 and have always loved art, and once I picked up my camera and found a way to tell others love stories, I knew I found what I was supposed to do.

We hired Michelle for our wedding and wow... where do I start?? Michelle and her assistant were INCREDIBLE! They were super friendly, thoughtful, funny, helpful and just made us feel incredible comfortable! My husband and I are shy people who do not like to be the center of attention and do not like to get our pictures taken, so we were both anxious about it. As soon as they started, we ended up actually having so much fun, laughing and having a great time getting our pictures taken! I have seen a few sneak peeks and am already in tears at how beautifully they turned out. I CANNOT wait to see how the others turned out! We will 100% be working with her again in the future! Thank you Michelle for the wonderful memories! Definitely do not hesitate and hire Valley Images Photography for your next event, you will not regret it!

Hello Friends! I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Long Beach, CA. Weddings are my absolute favorite type of photography and I love hearing about my couples love stories. My commitment to you is to provide with the best images of your life and a feeling that we are going to be friends for awhile. I will walk you through the whole process from start to finish and I'll make sure you take the time to enjoy your special day.

James Korin Photography is WONDERFUL. If you want your wedding day or other special event to run smoothly, be fun, and to capture the important details, look no further. James Korin Photography was recommended to me by a friend whose sister used them for her wedding day. The quality of the photos are awesome. A lot of photos nowadays are super contrasted or look like a preset threw up on them, but James Korin photos are timeless and beautiful — not trendy preset photos. Our wedding photos are beautiful! Thank you!

Welcome to Emily Joy Photography// Bright, bold, and colorful. Southern California based photography capturing weddings, family, and individuals.

We had a meeting with her ahead of the engagement shoot which helped the day go smoothly. We felt very at ease with her which allowed us to get some really cute photos. She had a very calming and easy-going presence that made it a fun time to get our photos. Ahead of the wedding day itself, she again met with us to discuss photo options. I gave her a shot list of everything I wanted to get as well as a Pinterest board full of ideas, and she made sure to get all of them and more! I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a photographer.

We are Sienna plus Josh, adventure elopement photographers [who also eloped!] in 2011 and we have been shooting weddings and adventuring ever since. We are here to help you navigate the path of forging your OWN path. Going the adventure elopement route is intimate, authentic, and empowering...with a day that is truly reflective of your relationship and defines the two of you! One of the best things about eloping is that you get to throw away the rule book and write your own. Whether that is spending your wedding day on a mountaintop in Oregon, among the waterfalls in Iceland, or the warm desert of California.

Sienna and Josh were so helpful with our elopement. They went above and beyond to make the event as fun and easy going as possible. Their suggestions for locations and floral arrangements were perfect! They really helped our elopement plans take shape and made us feel comfortable so we could each our special day to the fullest! They took the time to get to know us and take unique photos that captured the day perfectly. We were very happy with the final result and impressed with the amount of dedication and kindness that they showed to us.

Are you marrying your high school sweetheart? Are you traveling to your favorite place in the world to express your love? Is it just going to be you two? Do you both have a big family? Let me know. I'm here for it!

We are so happy we found Lani and would recommend her 100 times over.

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
My husband and I booked Jazmin for our fall wedding in the panhandle of Texas. Right from the start, she was such a joy to work with! Between our first video call to make sure we were a good fit, doing her online questionnaire (which was a lot of fun), and the call closer to the big day where Jazmin helped my coordinator and I with the photography timeline, Jazmin was helpful, cheerful, and made me feel so at ease. Booking her for our wedding was the easiest choice I’d made all year! This was our first time having professional pictures taken and we are both a bit awkward in front of the camera but we did not feel awkward with Jazmin. On our wedding day, Jazmin and her partner/second shooter were punctual, organized, and just plain fun to have around! To quote my husband; “anytime we need a photographer for anything, you know we can only work with them.” Importing Jazmin from San Francisco for our DIY Texas vineyard wedding was a no brainer for us, and we’d book her again in a heart beat!

Baltimore, MD

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.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

I’m a destination wedding photographer who loves to travel, take photos, drink, and eat… I know, you’ve probably never heard of ANYONE else with those likes. Haha! What can I say – I’m basic. ;). I’ve always had a love and fascination with movies, tv shows, Vanity Fair magazines, and looking at the history and style from the Mad Men era. They have something so timeless and yet meaningful about them?! Both their posed and candid moments – I DIE! I have been so fortunate that I’ve been able to take the things that inspire me and apply them organically to my wedding photography.

We booked because we loved her style and our first call to get to know each other went so well! Georgie has a fantastic team. We had Elaine as our first shooter and Richard as our second shooter. Georgie picked out an amazing spot for our sunset photos before the day, plus provided tons of helpful info, like checklists for the day of. Georgie and her team really keep your best interests in mind and work hard to get the right shots and keep you on schedule!

Laura was wonderful. Before booking, she took the time to get to know us, learn more about our wedding, and what our vision was. (She even helped fill some gaps in our day that we didn't even think about). After booking, her communication was outstanding, not only with her consistent follow ups, but she was able to really vibe with us. Day of, we felt really comfortable with her taking our photos. Our guests commented on how professional, friendly, and helpful she was. At the end of the experience, it felt like a friend was taking our photos and not someone we just met on Zola. The photos came out great and captured exactly who my wife and I are.

It all started one fall summer night at winters end... totally kidding one day I just said "F-THIS! Photography makes me unbelievably happy, Let's do this!" But my joy is not only from photographing love. It's also because I married the most amazing man on this planet. Leonard is my best friend of 10 years and husband for 7! I still dream about our wedding day and feel like I am always living in that wedding day happiness.

Cindy was a dream photographer to have. She’s so caring, responsive and professional. We had a couple mishaps with the cake and first dance but Cindy knew what to do to fill in the time and what to shift on our timeline which put me at ease on our big day! I would recommend Cindy to everyone because she will honestly be the best photographer you could hire.

Hi, I'm Veronica, a wedding and adventure elopement photographer who's lucky enough to have documented important moments like your wedding day for the past three years. Before going full-time into this business last year, I was in a totally different field for my day job! I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering from MIT and worked as a systems engineer at Boeing until I quit to put all my time and energy into my true passion - this biz! I love using my creative and technical skills to pause the perfect moments to capture all the emotions, warmth, color, and movement that will bring back that memory in the years to come!

Veronica was our wedding photographer, and we just loved working with her! She's an absolute delight and her photos are amazing. During our engagement shoot, she was incredibly personable and had a great way of making us do these silly dynamic poses that ultimately got us laughing at ourselves. This came out as spontaneous joy-filled candids that just so purely capture how we want to remember these moments. In terms of the actual photography, she comes from an aerospace engineering background, so she has a very technical approach to her work in addition to being overall great to work with. On our actual wedding day, it felt like she blended in as part of the wedding party - she was fun to hang out with and also helped with various odds and ends while getting ready! Everything felt seamless and professional, but also felt like having an extra friend! Highly recommend Veronica - she is such a gem and we are in love with her photography.

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!

June of 2012. Just two months after my mom was critically injured and hospitalized. I began using my camera as an emotional outlet. I started taking portraits for family and friends, and eventually, photographed a courthouse wedding. As time went on, it hit me: These photos are freaking important! And I knew from personal experience that these moments, & the people in them, aren't going to be here forever. That camera became so much more than an outlet. It gave me purpose. And now I see my job as an act of service to you. I'm honored to use my talents and skills to deliver what really matters: TANGIBLE MEMORIES OF YOU & THE ONES YOU LOVE

I truly do not even know where to begin regarding my experience with Alyssa and her team at Alyssa Morgan Photography. Over the past 2 years planning our wedding, Alyssa became much more than a vendor; she became a friend and trusted wedding planning confidante. From the moment I met her on my first wedding planning scouting trip (we live in NJ and had a destination wedding in Islamorada), I KNEW she was the photographer for us. Her photos clearly speak for themselves (I mean come ON, they are like something out of a magazine), but her personality (awesome), knowledge of the area (she is a Keys native, which is SO important when having a destination wedding in my opinion – you need someone familiar with the lighting, the locations, etc.), and her overall expertise in the industry (she even coaches other photographers!) truly make her worth every penny. This girl is worth her weight in GOLD and MORE. Alyssa photographed our engagement shoot almost 2 years ago, which helped us to get to know each other more. She knew how to make my then-fiancé laugh and even SMILE in front of the camera (which is not his favorite place to be) and make us look like supermodels in the process. We have her shots of us hanging all over our home because they are too beautiful not to show off. Despite COVID, missing out on our additional wedding planning trips due to the pandemic, and the overall unknown that was our wedding over the past year (we were worried we would have to postpone, cancel, etc.), she was virtually by our side every step of the way. Keeping us filled in on the state of the Keys, helping us troubleshoot obstacles, and keeping me calm in the process. When it came to our wedding, obviously as a bride it is a very overwhelming and nerve wracking day, but when Alyssa and her team of Kat (2nd shooter) and Kurt (videographer – we never even wanted a videographer until Kurt jointed her team and I saw his work and I am SO glad we decided to do it!!!), I instantly felt better. She worked with me and our planner before the wedding to put together a detailed outline of the day, photography timeline, important shot list, and she even helped me pull off a surprise first look for my fiancé with his best man dressed in a wedding dress to calm his nerves too! The day went off seamlessly, she coordinated us, our family, friends, bridal party, extended family to make sure every shot we wanted was taken. We got our sneak peeks back within days and my *husband* and I spent the remainder of our minimoon entranced by them! I always told Alyssa that photography was THE MOST important aspect of my wedding (I am a huge picture person) – and we COULD NOT BE HAPPIER that we chose her to shoot the most important day of our lives. We WILL be returning to the Keys and look forward to Alyssa shooting things like our anniversaries, pregnancy photos, and family photos in the years to come. **In summary, if I can just drive home just one point: IF YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED IN THE KEYS AND NOT USING ALYSSA FOR PHOTOGRAPHY: YOU. ARE. DOING. IT. WRONG!**

The greek myth from which the phrase “halcyon days” is derived, is one of great love ending in a time of joy and calm. A euphoric recollection of the past and an optimistic reverence for the future. Echo denotes a feeling of resonance and return. Because our memories and dreams are almost never linear-they are organic-abstracted from reality and, often, largely defined by touch, scent and, of course, sight. My hope is to create imagery that will reflect the deepest of fully felt emotion from this day, back to you. Working with analog & digital processes from Denver, Colorado.

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

We had the best experience working with Nick (and Mackenzie) on our big day. I cannot recommend Nick Cruz Photography enough! All of our photos are so beautiful and exceeded our (high) expectations. We could not have asked for better photos or a better photographer. Getting married during COVID meant a lot of last-minute changes in plans and Nick was so supportive and willing to work with us to make sure we captured all aspects of the day safely. And he is so personable - we had a total of 13 people at our wedding, so it was a very small group, all immediate family, but he fit right in! He was super organized and had a shot list to make sure we didn't miss any typical wedding photos. His website for photo delivery makes it so easy to view/download photos and he got us some sneak peaks super fast. Overall, we had such a great experience with Nick and plan to use him for all other big life events that require photography! (He also did our engagement - those photos were amazing too! He worked with my husband to pop out of the trees and capture the actual proposal.)

Leading up to the wedding, she was super responsive to all my questions and when the big day came along everything went so smoothly. Alyssa even fixed my makeup when I cried it all off after the ceremony!! We love our pictures so much.

He was so sweet and patient when it came to our families, he also speaks fluent Spanish and English which was perfect for our American/Peruvian wedding (my parents don't speak Spanish and my husband's parents don't speak English.) Not only was his personality off the charts, his photography skills were also outstanding. He caught the sweetest moments between my husband and I as well as with our families. He captured details of the wedding that I would probably forget if we didn't have pictures (table settings, my nails, decorations etc) and the quality was stunning. We couldn't be more grateful for Sebastian as a person and as a photographer, look no further cause he's the whole package!!

My style is natural and photojournalistic. I love capturing unscripted moments because those are the type of photos that tell a richer story of your day. Working with me means nothing overly posed, nothing awkward, nothing that doesn't feel like YOU. While we'll spend some time doing portraits, my priority is for you to be present and enjoy your wedding day. I like to shoot discreetly with an emphasis on candids so from the moment you first see each other to that last hilarious toast, you’ll be relaxed and focused on one another and not even noticed I’m there.

My musical group, Bay Area Strings, has performed at several weddings and receptions where Vivian was the photographer. Her event work is unobtrusive, taking great photographs without anyone noticing! We have ended up using several of her candid photographs of our string players, as she has a great eye for composition and color, with a modern and artistic style that still focuses on personality of the subjects. I have also noticed that her turnaround time to provide high-quality photos to the client and vendors is very fast compared to many others we have worked with.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the minute we met with Adrienne Gunde, I knew we had to have her take our engagement and wedding photos!! She was so easy to talk to, enthusiastic about our ideas, and made the process so fun! We did our engagement photos with her at Old Town Pasadena and she captured a shot for us that made me feel like we were in a magazine shoot! It was my husband lifting me up in the middle of the intersection. I literally blew it up and had it framed once we received it! She was patient and made it such a memorable experience. The photos she took of our wedding…. I have made photo books for the grandparents and I blown up onto canvas and framed photos around our home, and we still look at them and reminisce of that magical day! (This was 7 years ago… and still some of my favorite photos to look at!) I highly recommend Adrienne because she will not only capture the most beautiful photos, she will make the experience an enjoyable one.

Her fun and creative personality put you at ease and she even is patient with my crazy kids and dogs! I have had friends who use someone cheaper, but they only get a couple of photos or a very restrictive shooting time etc. We love that we don't have to worry about those things, and for the product and service we get the investment is more than fair!

I’ve always had a love for photography, art and design. I first picked up a camera in 2009 during a high school film class and haven’t stopped shooting since. My photography is inspired by nature’s beauty and life’s beautiful details. I have an infatuation with natural light, details & beautiful scenery. I strive to create light-filled, romantic & timeless imagery, from capturing all the small details to the raw emotional moments. This is my dream job and I’m thankful for it every day.

I don't even know where to start! Taylor is the BEST photographer around! I am absolutely obsessed with my photos and have received SO many compliments. Taylor is a natural, and was literally everywhere! We are able to relive the entire day because she truly captured it all. Taylor made the entire process so seamless and easy for us. Taylor made us both so relaxed and at ease, and was so much fun to work with! My husband was a little awkward at first (during engagement session) because he's never had photos like that done before, but Taylor made it so fun and enjoyable and kept us laughing the whole time that it felt so natural with her. On our wedding day I felt so confident and comfortable with Taylor and our timeline we created together, that I wasn't worried in the slightest. Taylor is incredible and you'll be so lucky to have her for your wedding photographer!

I am a creative and passionate Elopement and Wedding Photographer who captures the moments you will look back on for a lifetime. Those raw, authentic, candid, just as they happened moments. These are the memories you will cherish and pass down through your family, to your children, and grandchildren. The memories you will print and hang up on your walls turning your house into a home. The moments you cannot re-live, but you can re-visit with each photograph. These are the cherished memories and moments I capture for you, and your loved ones.

Candance was extremely professional throughout the entire process of hiring her for our day. I was extremely stressed out and she offered help with the location and was extremely knowledgeable when it came to when we should plan around. We always knew we wanted a small intimate moment just for us, and she made it a moment that was uninterrupted, but that we could share with those who were not there. She helped with location, and timing, and knew everything to do with when the weather-wise would work best for what we wanted. She listened to us and was extremely friendly. The session was fun, and she guided us through everything in a way that didn't make us feel like we were in a photo shoot but a fun moment of our lives that we will cherish forever. The memories we have on film will last forever and cannot thank her enough for capturing these moments for us. If you are looking for a photographer who will listen to you, treat you with respect and make your day magical, don't even look at other photographers, Candance is exceptional at what she does and will make your day perfect.

Photographing elopements happened by chance for me, but once I did my first one, I realized what an amazing experience it was for my couples. Having played a role on so many big wedding days, I realized there was so much my couples were missing out on. The stand out was the pace of the day and time spent with each other! I learned elopements moved at a much slower pace and that those couples had so much more time with each other. They are free to mark the date at a location that really speaks to them, and without a guest list (or a small one) they were so much more free to celebrate the way that left them feeling the most content.

Joleen is one of my favorite photographers in my area. Every wedding and shoot I have worked with her has been a great experience. She provides a high level of professionalism to her brides and is sensitive to every clients needs on the day. Joleen knows exactly how to make her clients feel at ease and relaxed in front of the camera while capturing the most important moments.

I have been a storyteller my whole life. From throwing on crazy costumes to entertain my family to picking up a camera for the first time, I've always known storytelling was my passion! I am a wife to my rock, my goofy dance partner, my best friend. I am a mama to Parker and doggy mommy to Dunken who is constantly chasing both of them around yelling "YOU'RE SO CUTE LET ME SQUEEZE YOU!!"... true story.

When we were planning for our wedding almost a year ago, it was so important to find a photographer we loved and were able to completely trust. We immediately knew after our initial phone conversation with Tyler that we didn’t need to look any further. Tyler isn’t just a photographer...she does SO MUCH more. Our wedding venue ended up canceling on us midway through this year. I was devastated but Tyler was there every step of the way and ALWAYS accommodating. She answered texts and was always available...even if it was asking for advice on bridesmaids dress colors. We ended up deciding to elope with family in an intimate beach setting. Tyler helped pick a venue and led the entire step of the way. I never felt like I was just another bride to Tyler. My grandparents who weren’t able to attend got to relive the day through our photos which is something I’ll cherish forever. We look at our photos almost daily and stare at them in awe...nonetheless, Tyler gave us a sneak peek in about 24hrs!!! If you want someone you can trust and rely on and know someone who can take all you milestone photos moving further...look know further. Tyler is simply the best.

I am passionate about the humanity and compassion I infuse into my work and making genuine connections with the people who choose me as a Photographer, Coordinator, or Officiant. I am inspired to create images that break down societal norms and show that all kinds of people and love are valid and beautiful. My style is modern, natural, romantic, whimsical, candid, and bold.

Where do we begin with Emily!? Honestly, from start to finish she made my wife and I feel so comfortable and supported. As a same sex couple we had had a few odd experiences reaching out to photographers and with Emily it was like night and day difference. She honestly made us feel so seen, not just as a couple, but as people. My wife is definitely not used to being the center of attention and Emily somehow captured our essences in every photo. We absolutely love her candids and her ability to capture the emotions of such a special day for us. We did an engagement shoot with her before our wedding as well and we couldn't be happier with how every single photo turned out. Even almost a year later, our wedding guests still comment on how incredible our pictures came out and that they were so much better than the "traditional" posed and staged photos, because she somehow captured us. I could go on and on, but for us, Emily felt like a member of the family and we couldn't have been happier about our experience with her. She kept us on schedule and answered questions for us along the way. Honestly, we can't think of anyone who would have been a better fit for us and for our wedding. Truly the best in the business - if you're looking for a photographer, hire her immediately!

My love for photography started at a young age in my small hometown outside of Pittsburgh. After being in public accounting for over four years, I eventually left to explore the creative fulfillment that photography has always given me. I knew immediately that being able to capture the love and joy between a couple for them to cherish for years to come, brought me the fulfillment I was searching for. As a photographer, I love natural light, authentic moments and adventurous souls. When not behind the camera, I’m forever a Harry Potter superfan and pasta addict. I’m always looking for new people and places to inspire me.

Stavan and his assistant were unbelievably professional. He took incredible photos and got them back to us before we even finished our honeymoon! We would highly recommend Stavan for any project or photography need. He was a pleasure to work with, and the finished project was better than we could have ever expected!

Hi, I'm Alexx! I grew up in San Diego and went to school in Malibu to study media production & math (I know, weird combo). Since then, I've lived in both Point Loma in SD and in West LA, so I'm always popping around all of SoCal! I absolutely adore weddings for the love, celebration, joy, and romance, so I want to make sure those are your main feelings throughout the day! What that means is I will always remain a calm presence in the chaos to help keep you grounded, but also blend into the background to give you space to just experience your day!

I don't even know where to begin. Alexx was hands down the best photographer we could have asked for. From the start she was supper communicative and within a day of inquiry, we had set up a time to chat and get acquainted. She is incredibly professional, but still super personable! We had so much fun with her at our engagement shoot, and the photos were INCREDIBLE. Her style is so organic and she makes you feel very comfortable from the start. She gave us so many tips leading up to the wedding about what to have ready for her and at what time, while still being super flexible with us if we needed to adapt. Day of with her was a breeze, too! She lead us through all of our photos and we wrapped up family photos quickly enough thanks to her that we were able to spend more time with our guests/family before the reception which was amazing! She had our previews to us within a few days and we are OBSESSED with every photo!! We cannot wait to see the full gallery :) Thank you so much for everything, Alexx!!!

Welcome! I’m Jose, a Southern California wedding & portrait photographer. It's about more than hiring someone to hold a camera and snap a few pics. Wedding photography is about carefully crafting and capturing the moments of your big day in a way that beautifully tells the story of your love. Our images have been described as candid, emotional, moody romantic, airy and timeless. My photography evokes feelings of genuine love & affection and strive to capture such moments throughout the day so that you both can remember all the little details. Our goal is to create images that tell the story of your wedding day in the best way possible.

Jose is such a pleasure to work with and his work is STUNNING! He has such a calm & positive energy, which is always appreciated on a wedding day. On top of that, he's highly skilled at both photo AND video. He's attentive to the details and is diligent about capturing the range of unique & personal touches. That being said, he's also fantastic at capturing those candid & special moments that we all hope to see. His technical skills are top-notch and his work is absolutely gorgeous. He really is a gem of a person, a photographer, and a videographer. Highly recommend!!!

Elopements are an incredible way to fuse together everything you love about doing life with your person and celebrate your relationship in a genuine, meaningful way. They allow you to put your marriage first. To release any pressure or judgment and just be you, together. Not only are you committing your life to someone you love more than anything, but you’re starting the adventure of a lifetime with an adventure of a lifetime. And because I’ll be there to help you craft the whole thing, and document it as it unfolds, you can relive your best day ever; over and over, forever.

I shot my first elopement wedding film with Jayne and she was such a joy to work with! Not only was she helpful in making sure I could get the shots I need, but she definitely had a rapport with the couple that really put them at ease. The other thing that really stood out was how thoughtful and detailed she was. She had done so much scouting, research, and leg work that the day just flowed really well and everything was just easy! Would highly recommend working with Jayne!

I first picked up a camera in high school and was instantly obsessed with the process and possibilities of capturing images. I went on to study at The San Francisco Art Institute and transferred to The Art Center, College of Design in Pasadena, earning a BFA in Photography. I began my career as a photographer in a Los Angeles product photo studio. While working there, I found I had a talent for photo retouching. I worked as a professional retoucher for many years and know what many celebrities really look like hah! I made my way back to freelance photography after having my daughter in 2013.

We LOVED working with Gennan. Out photos are spectacular, abundant and just what we hoped for. I love that she schedules a call with you to discuss your style and vibes, to get to know you a bit. She was responsive through email prior to the big day, and I was so impressed she even brought some of the inspo pics I had sent for us to recreate. She was very professional while being easy and fun to shoot with! She even resent some photos that were B&W that we wanted in color. Edits were lovely. Now our only problem is trying to choose from so many favorites.

Tori Parker Photography

Lynchburg, VA
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Ventura, CA

Although Tori lives on the east coast, her art & lifestyle is largely inspired by the west coast. Tori grew up just outside Los Angeles and her art reflects the airy, relaxed and purposeful atmosphere that exists in the Golden State. The Tori Parker team intends for their photos to reflect a similar air: relaxed but with a powerful undertone of golden hour hues and genuine joy. When Tori isn't taking photos or managing her amazing team of associate photoghers, she enjoys intentional time with Jesus, watching New Girl with her husband, being outdoors with her dogs, and eating the spiciest thing on the menu.

Tori is beyond easy to work with, fun, personable, and professional. She made the time leading up to the wedding easy and chill, and was very helpful in figuring out the timeline of our day and all other details. She also got us 100 previews within days after our wedding!

Hi loves! I’m Amanda, a San Diego based traveling photographer devoted to documenting romantic wedding moments and preserving the essence of the big day with imagery. I absolutely love having fun with my couples and getting them comfortable in being exactly who they are to capture in images! I have been a photographer for 10+ years and have fallen in love with being the person who showcases a couple’s love through creative imagery. I’ll be your biggest hype man, get you laughing with your partner and capture every emotional moment that should never be forgotten!

Amanda and KC were amazing! My fiancé and I were hesitant to take engagement photos at all—we are both awkward and don’t pose well for photos. Amanda and KC were very relaxed, casual and FUN! They made us laugh the entire time and everything felt so easy & comfortable. AND THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL! First, we don’t look awkward (big win). And second, the settings/backdrops/lighting they chose were exactly what we were looking for. Great experience and would highly recommend for anyone looking for engagement photos.

Hello! Thanks so much for checking out my website. My name is Nathan, but some call me Nate for short. I’ve been a photographer for the past 4 years, but have been passionate about photography since I was little kid, playing with my dad’s 35 mm disposal cameras.

Nathan photographed our wedding and did a tremendous job! He captured the joy of the day, down to the smallest detail. He thought to take shots that simply wouldn't have occurred to me, and I am so glad he did! It was so fun to see the final results. I can't say enough good things about him as a photographer and as a person. Not only were the photographs gorgeous, but Nathan was a wonderful presence to have at our wedding.
