Poppy & Hive Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, their communication was awesome, excellent, and kind.

Eli Suzuki-Gill Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Watsonville, CA for additional fees

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.

Eli Suzuki-Gill Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Eli was very attentive, intentional, and gentle in his approach and communication with us. He asked great questions and I was able to share my vision and how I really imagined us to look and what our vibe was as a couple. We loved our pictures and how they turned out - he really took our wants into consideration and executed the photos in a way that perfectly represented us as a couple. Eli was extremely patient as we were very nervous and stressed for our ceremony, and he checked in to help us get more comfortable and relaxed. He was very professional and easy to talk to, holding the perfect balance between letting us do our own thing while also ensuring we got all the traditional shots to capture the important parts of our special day. He was able to get us the photos within 30 days and we’re so grateful for Eli's hard work and dedication in making our wedding photos truly special.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! Not only was she incredibly personable and easy to work with, but her communication throughout the entire process was flawless. It truly felt as though we were talking to a life long friend. She really took the time to understand our vision and executed it beyond our expectations. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond by acting as a liaison between us and our coordinator, which was such a relief and something she didn’t even have to do. I, as the bride, even had one one time where she helped me with my dress and to fix my hair. And to top it all off, we received our pictures much faster than expected, and they were absolutely stunning! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares and delivers on every level. I look at our pictures so often and can't stop raving about them to anyone who will listen!

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

McKenna and her team were absolutely amazing. I was the bride who did not want to stand around and take a million photos. When I tell you that they got in, got the job done and got us to the party, It was wham bam thank you ma’am and we got some AMAZING shots. These photos are pure artistry, I can’t believe it’s me in them. They are nothing less than spectacular and she didn’t miss a beat from the entire day.

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Watsonville, CA for additional fees

Hi! I’m Jules. I like to think of myself as an artistic storyteller. I love capturing LOVE and have been a professional photographer for 12+ years (don’t let the baby face fool you). I want to know what makes you & your partner tick. Every couple is different & I love making your photos feel like YOU. (& for you to feel super hot, obv.) I would love to share full galleries with you and would be HONORED to create art with you on your dreamiest day! Storytelling is why I do this day in and day out. We don’t do boring over here ;)

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so so SO grateful we found Jules/Datura Photo to shoot our wedding. She did an incredible job capturing the emotions and the overall story of our day and we couldn’t be happier with ouyr wedding photos! We also utilized Jules for our videography and we are in love with our wedding video. You can really tell when you watch our video and look at our photos that we had a photographer who just loves love. She told our love story so beautifully. You can also tell that she knows so much about composition, lighting, etc. She does a great job with giving directions for where to stand and poses to do for those of us who know nothing about getting our picture taken. Not only is she an incredibly talented and gifted artist in her photography, but she is a total gem to work and spend the day with. She was also super communicative and professional throughout the entire process, went above and beyond and stayed late to get pics at our after party, and as an added bonus she was amazing with the kids in our wedding party and getting them to smile for the camera! We could literally go on and on about how amazing she was. We would highly recommend booking Datura Photo for any wedding, but especially if you want your photos to feel artsy, vintage, romantic, and emotional.

Shooting with them literally feels like hanging with your best friends. They were an absolute joy from start to finish, but it was Sharayah’s attention to detail and artistic eye that impressed me above all else. It was inspiring to feel like we were all creating art together, and the photos don’t lie! Our engagement shoot went viral on Instagram, and we got hundreds of comments saying, “these are literally the best engagement photos I’ve ever seen.” I too, agree with that sentiment, but I have to give credit to Hereafter’s vision and execution because they NAILED it. As a team, they’re both extremely communicative and organized, professional yet relaxed in the way they interacted with us and our guests. No one has ever made me feel so comfortable in front of a camera. Additionally, their digital color grading is meticulously adjusted to match 35mm film with incredibly accuracy. They perfectly captured the magic of our special day. We booked them for the whole package - engagement shoot, wedding photos, and wedding video with super 8 film. Their understanding of my vision was remarkable…Hereafter managed to romanticize every single detail in a profound way. The photos are so special to us because each one feels like a standalone piece of art. They went above and beyond for us in every capacity, even going so far as to drive me to the venue on my wedding day when things ran late! We cannot recommend Hereafter Films highly enough. Book them immediately! I promise you, they are worth every single penny and more.

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

From the moment we first spoke with Melissa, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Her communication was prompt, thorough, and reliable, and she was such a friendly and calming presence throughout the entire process. Aside from capturing incredible photos that truly encapsulate the magic of our special day, Melissa went above and beyond the call of duty - she even helped us find an amazing DJ and assisted me with a last-minute wedding dress mishap! Working with Melissa was an absolute no-brainer, and she was by far the most stand-out vendor we had the pleasure of working with. The photos she delivered speak for themselves, and we are forever grateful for the fun, joyful, and professional way she contributed to making our wedding day so incredibly special.

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

  • Serves Watsonville, CA for additional fees

Your wedding isn’t just an event—it’s a story, a feeling, a collection of fleeting moments that deserve to be preserved with artistry and intention. I specialize in capturing weddings with a refined documentary-meets-editorial approach, blending quiet, unscripted moments with timeless, emotive storytelling. I take on a limited number of weddings per year, ensuring every couple receives an immersive, personalized experience. My work is for those who value photography not just as documentation but as an heirloom—something that will outlive the day itself.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: I could not have picked a better photographer and I truly believe that Annie would be perfect for absolutely anyone. Her energy is infectious in a way that really brings up your excitement levels but also keeps your anxiety down. My husband is very introverted and was really worried about photos, but she kept him comfortable and in his element in a way I truly don’t believe anyone else would have. As for myself, I felt beautiful and gorgeous the entire time because of her and her partner. For the work she did and the amount of effort she puts into our photos, I believe her prices are incredibly fair. If anything, she’s undercutting herself. I will absolutely be recommending Annie to anyone and everyone. Now for the longer part of the review! We got married on May 30th, 2024 and we were doing our wedding a little differently. Instead of doing private vows or doing our vows at the ceremony, we did our vows at our rehearsal dinner. That is also when we allowed friends and family to come up and say something. The reason we did this route is because my husband is introverted and not a public speaker while I am the complete opposite. He also really wanted to see my walk down the aisle as our first look instead of a private look. Me, on the other hand, wanted at least our family and close friends to witness our vows. So we compromised! On top of it being two separate days, I was very adamant that I wanted two photographers along with wanting to capture the little things, such as my grandparents holding hands or our friends doing silly things at a table. I don’t mind staged photos, but I really wanted more natural focused shots. It was surprisingly difficult to find someone who was able to both days and within our price range. When we stumbled upon Annie, it felt like fate. She was so easy to figure things out with. Instead of an engagement photo session, she was happy to do our rehearsal dinner instead. She was there for any questions I had and the forms she had us fill out were super detailed! It really helped getting our thoughts together and deciding what was most important for our wedding. The day before the wedding, she vibed so well with everyone at the rehearsal dinner. She even got perfect photos of our dogs, who are honestly like our children. The day of the wedding, Annie and her second photographer (who I’ve completely blanked on the name, my fault for taking so long to write a review!) were amazing. Every single one of our friends had compliments for them and just LOVED their energy. Annie kept me calm and collected while the second was fully invested in my husband. I don’t think the wedding would have gone as smoothly without those two. The photos I received back? Better than I could ever dream of. Truly. They got beautiful shots of my grandparents dancing, my dad talking to one of his nephews, his mom talking with his brother. Just candid shots that looked real and natural. I am unbelievably so happy with Annie and the work she put in for us. Photographs are one of the most important things for me at our wedding and she truly blew it out of the park.We thank her for all her work from the bottom of our hearts and will always cherish the memories she gave us.

If you would have known me growing up, you would have been surprised if I didn’t become a photographer! I fell in love with photography after spending countless hours in the darkroom. Since 2008, I have been working professionally in the photography industry and have shot over 300 weddings and numerous other assignments in almost every genre of photography. Why Weddings? I love problem solving and puzzles, and I’m always up for a good challenge. For me, a wedding is a day full of all of the things that I love. Its basically a whole day of coming up with solutions to make the best photographs for my couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I worked with Lisa for our engagement photos and our wedding, and we were blown away by her services. She is incredibly professional and prepared. She helped us decide on a location for our engagement photos and arrived early to scout it out. Before our wedding, she met with us (virtually) to go over the schedule of the day and our shot list. At the same time, she is also quick to adapt in the moment. She was able to respond to the lighting conditions during our photo shoots to take gorgeous pictures, and she caught many wonderful moments with our guests during our wedding. She is also very creative and took pictures from unique angles and perspectives. Best of all, both times Lisa delivered her photos promptly. Our married friends were astounded by how quickly we got our photos back! We love looking back on pictures from our wedding day, and they captured the day so thoroughly that we feel like we can relive it. We cannot recommend Lisa more highly.

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

We had an amazing experience working with Kayla for our wedding. From my first introduction to her it was clear that she is extremely organized and thinks of every detail. For our engagement shoot we gave her a few ideas of the direction we wanted to go, and she created an entire vision. We were nervous about being unnatural in front of the camera and she made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and gave us good directions! We are so thrilled with how our wedding day photos turned out. She captured our day so beautifully with our family and friends and we truly couldn't be happier with our photos! We will cherish these memories she captured for life.

Morgan is an exceptional photographer with so much talent and care for her craft. From day one, she was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and organized. Working with her was so easy and straightforward. She told us exactly what she needed from us, and she was always prompt with her communication. We loved working with Morgan for so many reasons, but her thoughtfulness, sincerity, and flexibility are particular memorable. Especially with all the chaos that comes with the wedding, it was refreshing to have Morgan be in charge of our photos, because she kept a cool demeanor and was easy going, but prescriptive. Beyond her professionalism and personality, my family, friends, and I are absolutely stunned by how beautiful our photos came out. The photos were creative while maintaining timeless elegance. Morgan's expertise with outdoor photography was perfect for our venue because we had a lot of natural sunlight come through our space since we had a lot of windows. I truly cannot express how thankful I am that Morgan was our photographer. I wish we could have another vent just to have her do more photography for us! Her turn around time was extremely reasonable as well!

Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Salvatore was wonderful! He was very kind and professional. Before the wedding, he took the time to speak with us about our vision for the day and the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he spent pretty much the entire day with us, and was even able to split his time between our ceremony and our reception. We got his photos right on time, and they were truly lovely, with a nice mix of posed and candid photographs, and beautiful lighting and focus throughout. Salvatore did everything we could have expected him to and more, and we are very glad that we went with Milieu for our wedding!

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

Hi! Congratulations on your engagement! I'm Arielle and I want to photograph your wedding! I'm a fun loving lady that's totally in love with love. I have like 20 years of experience with a camera in my hand, and 7 years since I started shooting weddings full time. Rain or shine we're going to have the best day ever if you choose me to shoot your wedding. I grew up in Vermont and after traveling around and living in several different states I made my way back to Vermont where I posted up and started this wild photo business and I've never been happier to share my talent with you! I can't wait to meet you!

Arielle has done two shoots with my family and one boudoir shoot with just me. She is extremely professional, very friendly (we are now friends as a result of working together) and all of our shoots have been so fun! She knows how to direct you for positioning and how to make you feel comfortable. She truly is magical. Her pictures are edited in a timely manner and delivery was simple. Highly recommended

I’m a wine country native and learned the photographic arts from my family. My early travels and studies in the art & humanities opened my horizons to culture and diversity, plus I'm of mixed ethnicity. I really enjoy photographing weddings, because it has influenced me in a variety of unexpected and good ways. Each wedding has their own uniqueness, personality, and beauty. My life experience in wedding, portrait, & event photography has been a very gratifying and fulfilling journey. I’ve been pro wedding photographer for over 15yrs, and I’m insured.

I couldn’t be happier choosing Marc to photograph our wedding! From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional and attentive, making sure he understood exactly what we wanted. He photographed our engagement photos too and even rescheduled at no extra cost when the weather was too foggy for the scenery we wanted. On the big day, Marc blended seamlessly into the background while capturing every precious moment beautifully. The photos are nothing short of spectacular—each one highlights the love and magic of the day and perfectly captures the emotion and joy we felt. We’ve received countless compliments on the quality of the images and how they captured each moment of our wedding. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented but also dedicated and passionate about their craft, I highly recommend Marc Blondin.

From start to finish, Stef was such an absolute pleasure to work with! I can’t recommend her enough. Her communication with us was easy and kind from the get go, and she was very knowledgeable about her craft. Our photos are absolutely stunning! We have gotten so many compliments from family and friends. I even had one good friend say that if she ever gets married, she will ask me for Stef’s contact info :) Thank you Stef, for beautifully capturing the best day of our lives.

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!
