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.

Choosing Abby as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our destination wedding in Cabo. From the moment we met her for our engagement shoot, she made us feel like we were with family. Her warm demeanor and genuine enthusiasm instantly put us at ease, making every moment in front of the camera feel natural and relaxed. Abby's talent behind the lens is truly remarkable. She has a knack for capturing the most breathtaking moments, turning them into magazine-worthy photographs that we will cherish for a lifetime. Her attention to detail and creativity shone through in every shot, making each image a work of art. Not only is Abby incredibly skilled, but she also goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel comfortable and valued. Throughout the entire process, she treated us like she was our sister or someone we have known a lifetime making sure every photo reflected our personalities. If you're looking for a photographer who not only delivers stunning images but also creates an unforgettable experience, look no further than Abby. She exceeded all of our expectations and we couldn't be happier with the memories she captured on our special day. Beware you WILL be friends after your time with Abby!

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.

Erin is extremely responsive and professional, but also brings a sense of fun and personalization to the table, which we greatly appreciated. Our engagement and wedding photos are absolutely stunning and we feel very grateful we have these photos to cherish for the rest of our lives. She exceeded all expectations with her perfect combination of candid and classic posed photos. Our families were blown away when they saw our wedding photos- they can't wait to order prints! In addition to her excellent work, Erin herself adds so much positivity and thoughtfulness to the entire experience. Our families and friends fell in love with her and were ecstatic to have her as a part of our intimate wedding. I really can't say enough about Erin's amazing work, level or professionalism and organization, and the amount of kindness and thought she'll put into capturing your entire wedding experience. Our wedding would not have been the same without Erin. We can't wait to book her again to capture our lives' next big adventure!

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.

As a wedding photographer myself, I have high and clear expectations when it comes to photography. Nadia & Gunnar are my go-to photography team when I need to hire a second photographer. I have the unique experience and privilege of hiring them again and again. I never have to worry about a thing when they are on my team. Both individuals are reliable, consistent, and creative. They always show up early. They are constantly pushing their craft and trying to learn new things. They are extremely detail oriented so couples never have to worry about looking their best. Quiet in nature, Nadia & Gunnar are a calming support system on what is otherwise a chaotic day. I trust them completely with my couples and with my couples' loved ones.

"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!

I’ve worked with Miku for two photo shoots, for my graduation and engagement. Both final products were spectacular and they’re worth more than I paid for. Overall, she is a talented photographer! She is so good at capturing the moment, so her work takes me back to and reminds me the moment vividly. Also, she is competent in catching what her clients want and also excel in understanding photography trends. During the photo shoots, she’s made good & precise instructions for posing and those kept me relax and be natural in front of camera for the whole time. I’d recommend her 120% for not only engage/wedding photo but also for any occasion you want your precious moment to be captured!

It’s was clear to me from the time Elise arrived that she understood our vision and was the consummate professional as she helped usher us thru our wedding day. Of course there were “hiccups” in or schedule… pre-wedding prep took much longer than we anticipated but Elise helped get us back on track and postponed photos that she could shoot after our wedding. Our first look was most important to us. All our photos were delivered on time and told our wedding story like fine art.

I became a wedding photographer in a not-so-usual way. I remember telling my girl scout leader that I actually hated any arts & craft we did. Fast forward to many years of sports, and the pivotal moment of entering college, I switched to photography one semester in after realizing my current Marine Biology major was not for me and decided that was where I was headed. It landed me in wedding photography after a few classmates asked me to shoot their weddings. And since I’m a romantic and all…it was a perfect fit from the start. Something you should know about me is that I love all people, deeply. “Love your neighbor” is what I strive for.

Katie is one of the amazing few photographers I refer in Souther California. Her unique style and professionalism make her stand out above the rest. I love working with Katie any chance I get!

San Clemente, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800

I am Ashley Strong Smith, the very passionate, sincere and grateful soul behind these very time capsules witnessed within this space. Although I’ve been shooting for over a decade, ASP launched full time in April of 2015 as an all encompassing business and became a Corporation - Strong Smith, Inc. in 2018. Since then, I’ve been beyond blessed to : - Document nearly 450 sessions - Document over a 100 weddings - Receive almost 250 FIVE STAR reviews on multiple platforms - Published nearly two dozen times

While Ashley and I attended the same high school, I originally reconnected with her after I saw that she photographer another high school friend’s wedding. I started following her photography on Instagram well before I met my now husband. When my husband and I began dating and I knew I would marry him one day, I knew I had to have Ashley be our photographer. Not even a few weeks after being engaged I reached out to Ashley to connect and discuss hiring her as our wedding photographer. And honestly, it was the best decision we made for our wedding other than marrying each other. Both my husband and I are very camera shy and hate having our photos taken, but Ashley made us so comfortable it was like we were hanging out and catching up with a close friend rather than having someone take pictures of us. Her bright and natural photography style is exactly what we were looking for in a society where highly edited and photoshopped styles are popular. From our engagement shoot in the San Bernardino Mountains to our wedding at Lake San Marcos, Ashley embraced us and the natural scenes around us which is exactly what we wanted with an outdoor wedding in November. She worked diligently with us on our timeline to make sure we wouldn’t miss the sunset with our winter wedding and on the day of the wedding she made sure we were happy and as relaxed as we could be, that we had a drink in our hands post ceremony and even brought me an extra slice of cake after our cake cutting. Not even a week after the wedding she had sneak peak of photos ready for us to look at. There is not a picture she took and presented to us that we don’t love. I would love for her to photograph every major moment in our married life together and highly recommend her.

My husband and I are a team and have always been drawn to watching old home videos. We love the nostalgia, the time that is still present through documentation. Our inspiration to the way we photograph is similar to these home movies we grew up watching of our families. It’s the candid in between moments. The family and friends who haven’t seen one another in some time go in for a big warm embrace. It’s the group of cousins all about to cheers and take a celebratory drink together. It’s the tears and the laughter being captured when people think no one is looking. Genuine emotions. It’s what moves us. It’s what we live for.

I’ve taken photos for over 250 couples in 8 states and 7 countries over 6 years with 5 cameras for 1 reason: Memories matter. Your wedding day is the fastest day of your life. I'll freeze it for you and then I'll frame it for you. So you can feel it all over again. But choosing a photographer and then trusting them with once-in-a-lifetime moments is stressful. Nobody likes stressy things. I'll make sure the photography is the easiest part of your day. Real talk: I was a 911 dispatcher for a decade so I know how to make people feel calm when things get dicey.

Welcome to my Wedding Photography page - I’m Leanna, and I’m a wedding addict. I didn’t see it coming, but I fell into the abyss and now there’s no stopping it. 12 years ago I began selling wedding gowns. It was innocent at first- I had no feelings towards the gowns, they all looked the same to me. And either way, I was already in love with Photography. But soon enough, I fell hard. I began playing “love songs radio” and preaching the obvious differences between Alencon, Chantilly, & French Laces. My bridal affair continued with passion while I continued to invest into my first love, Photography.

I don’t think I will ever find the right words for Carmen, but if you are reading this because you are still in limbo whether you want to book her for your next big event, STOP whatever it is you are doing and book her right NOW (before its too late and you regret it foreva). It took awhile for me to realize that these are not just photos you look at once in your life,but photos that you will forever be looking back to- the photos you will show your grand babies and so forth. Carmen’s attention to detail from the start is on a different level. She really takes the time to get to know each of her clients to help create each of story through her work. My husband and I are very awkward and we are the worst at posing in front of a camera- but Carmen was a natural at making us comfortable and just have fun/ being ourselves, and being in the moment. She really made us look like we were the best that we couldn’t stop posting our photos. I can go on and on about how amazing her work is- but find out for yourself and experience the magic. Carmen and her team are the BEST! In all honestly, The wedding album was the second best thing we got out of our experience with her. The friendship we were able to build is first! We love you Carmen!!

Mysi, Mysi, Mysi. Where do we even begin. We were passed along Soda Pop as a preferred photography vendor and fell in love with Mysi's work almost instantly. We were thrilled when Mysi did have availability and we then met to just talk. Mysi is a professional and is very good at what she does. However, our favorite thing is that she's also very approachable. We immediately felt a friendship brewing and it made it very easy for us to open up about what we wanted, what we were afraid of, etc. Both my wife and I historically are not great at pictures and after calming us down a bit, she reassured us that she was going to make sure the photos we'll have were going to be amazing, and that we would look good to. We decided to book Mysi for a few hours before the actual reception to get some shots across the city and then during the reception as well. We also then later asked her to come with us on the day we got married to take more photos with our families and our little dog as well. Both times she was punctual, had everything under control, and used her keen eye to take some memorable shots of us, our families, and countless friends and guests. P.S. she's a dog person and our dog took to her immediately as well, which helped provide some jaw-droppers of the little guy. Like, model-status. But I digress. We were both definitely nervous but when we did get our photos back, we were beyond happy. Mysi and her colleague captured so many amazing memories of all of our families and friends, our grand-parents, little toddlers, just everyone. All of the work she did with us produced some amazing pictures of us as well which we'll have for a lifetime. When looking for a photographer, please do reach out to Mysi at least for a chat, because while we found the perfect photographer for us, we also found a new friend!

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Cheers Babe / Jess as our wedding photographer was hands down the absolute best wedding decision we made! I honestly think Jess might be an angel because that's how big of an impact she had on our day. First off, Jess is just a kind, caring, funny and bubbly human being. She makes the awkward feelings of being in front of a camera melt away in 2.5 seconds without even trying. Jess also has impeccable taste and was such a good sounding board for ideas I had on our day of (ie. that probably won't look the way you way you think it will or yes, love that so much!!). Her responsiveness and support put me at ease so more times than I can count. Jess also took time to get to know my husband and I so it was that much easier to feel like ourselves around her which TOTALLY shows in our pictures. On top of all that, Jess was amazing at working with my other vendors, managing details, and of course was on time and on the money with everything she said she'd do. She even had a sneak peak of photos for us to look at before we even boarded a plan to our honeymoon. So on to the actual pictures themselves...this is probably a bit TMI for a wedding review but I was very insecure about getting my pictures taken for my engagement shoot and wedding. Jess was able to not only make me forget about my insecurities during our first session / engagement photos but then literally brought me to tears as I saw how stunning our photos turned out. Every ounce of insecurity I had was gone after that and it's entirely because of Jess. She was a blast at our wedding. All of our guests loved her and you can actually feel the vibe of our special day when you look at any of the photographs. We will never have enough words to express our gratitude to Cheers Babe but we can say BOOK HER AS SOON AS YOU CAN! Photographers with this kind of talent are one in a trillion!!

It is the absolute best feeling being able to photograph the genuine love and happiness a couple expels through their wedding day. Nothing can beat the emotions and the charm of that. It's an honor to be able to translate those emotions onto images so people can look back through them and get back those feelings years and decades later.

Even in our first shoot with Fatima, we found her to be kind, fun, and committed to excellence. Given our positive experience and impression of her professionalism and outputs, we went on to work with her for our subsequent engagement shoot and another special one. Fatima listens to her clients, gets an understanding of what they're looking for, and shares her perspective and feedback to ensure that her art is in line (and beyond) your expectations. She has amazing skills in playing with light and shadows, capturing candid, but editorial likes images - our friends / family kept telling us her pictures look like they're out of a magazine! We have loved getting to know and establish a relationship with her, not simply because her work is extraordinary, but also, at a personal level - she is a warm, genuine person who truly wants to deliver the BEST for you as a client.

My fiancè and I booked a sunrise engagement shoot with Murtaza. From the day we first reached out, Murtaza was extremely professional, kind, and quick to respond. Murtaza was very accommodating of our limited schedules, and held several calls with us before the shoot to make sure every detail would be exactly what we wanted. On the actual day of the shoot, we were nervous as we don’t like having our photos taken. Murtaza made us instantly feel at ease with his kindness and radiant positivity. He patiently worked with us to pick our best angles, but also included fun, dynamic prompts that made us forget about the camera and not look stiff. As an added bonus, within a few minutes of leaving the shooting site, Murtaza sent us a sneak peek he had already edited! We treasured these until we received the full package of edited photos, which were stunning beyond our expectations or hopes. I would highly recommend Murtaza on his qualifications as a photographer alone, but his genuinely warm personality and infectious positivity truly distinguish him from the rest. Murtaza is a gem!

Amanda was absolutely amazing! During our first meeting with her she was very informative and professional. On our big day she and the 2nd photographer were kind and extremely efficient. We especially appreciated that we were able to get all of our couple, bridal party, and family photos done before the ceremony allowing us to enjoy our cocktail hour! She was great at giving us cues so that we got romantic and picturesque couple shots. We received our photos in a very timely manner and are so happy with how they turned out! I highly recommend hiring Amanda for your wedding photos!

I like to think that my style is natural and genuine :) I smile big, love to laugh but also might cry at your first dance.

Emily was amazing! My wife and I loved all our pictures from her and Angel! Emily was punctual, professional, easy to communicate with, and really personable. The wedding was a blur at times that it was so awesome to see what other guests were doing because of the pictures. We recommend Emily over any photographer. We also highly recommend getting a second shooter. We could not be happier with our pictures!

Hi! So you’re getting married and you made it here :) First off, congratulations! Love found your heart, and this is all that matters. I’m Tiago and before being a vendor of your wedding, I want you to keep in mind that behind the camera there is a person, who is more interested in your life story, and in the history of your love to translate it into pictures. With that said, before we talk about photography, we can have a beer or a good wine and get to know each other better. If you are willing to do this and also have elegant, romantic and very natural images, it will be an honor to be part of your life by clicking on your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
First of all, our photos are amazing. They are AMAZING. I keep looking at them over and over again, and I keep finding new moments from my wedding to appreciate. Thank you Russ for creating these beautiful lasting memories for our family. Second of all: it was *GREAT* to work with Russ. We booked Russ months before Coronavirus, and during the months when we were reshaping our wedding plans, Russ was adaptable, reliable, and supportive. He was always prompt to get on the phone and to hear what we were thinking and what we wanted. We ended up having a minimony - a smaller version of our original wedding plan - and Russ was right there to make our day feel extra special and to highlight the best moments. He understood our vision even better than we did - the pictures attest to that, since he was able to capture the best moments with exactly the focus we'd want to see! All the while, he stayed out of our way, and yet somehow didn't miss a thing. Finally, I just want to say that Russ is a happy person to be around -- and his general uplifting mood is well matched to the spirit of a wedding day. I didn't know how much it would matter to have a happy person be our wedding photographer, but Russ' whole demeanor was a definite definite definite boon!

Jason is incredible. He is a talented photographer and storyteller, and a great business person to boot! He is exactly who you want your friends and family to interact with your wedding day. I would highly recommend him to any person looking to capture the essence of their wedding day and of their beloved family and friends. Regarding the business perspective: my partner and I planned our wedding from afar and from the start Jason was responsive and easy to work with. I admire that he didn’t pressure us on hurrying to book the way other photographers did and he made the time to connect with us. He was also able to process photos quickly and with high quality. Regarding the photos: we purchased his engagement and wedding day package and I could not be happier and think he was priced very competitively. My partner and I had previously had engagement photos done with another vendor and their quality was not even comparable to Jason’s. Because of Jason’s photo journalistic nature and our desire to avoid a lot of staged poses Jason built a beautiful story of us and our engagement and wedding day. His photos are striking, surprising, and beautiful. He captured heartfelt moments that I did not see during our wedding, too. Our friends and family are in love with the photos that we have shared with them and we are so honored to have had Jason capture our wedding day. I cannot wait to look at these photos for years to come and relive our wedding day!

I have a love for travel and I'm obsessed with my dog and two cats. I enjoy lots of raw, sassy humor and a little bit of sarcasm. Tequila is my go-to... all the margaritas please! The desert is where you’ll find me on any given day. There’s something so magical about that place, am I right? I love learning the little weird things about my couples and bringing out the corkiness. We all have it! If you like what you’re reading, maybe I'm the one!

Being in the production industry for more than 10 years, we've been through a lot, we've seen a lot, and we've captured a lot of beautiful moments on tape for our past clients who have become a part of our family.

Marry Me Studio literally made our DAY! We're so happy we chose them after all. Both the engagement photoshoot and wedding shoot went really smoothly. And the final videos and photos just blew our minds. They are professional, fun, and worth every penny. Really recommend them!

Hello! My name is Gui Bittencourt, and I have been servicing Southern California since 2018. My love for photography started during childhood. Playing with my grandma's film camera opened my eyes to new possibilities. After leaving Brazil, I decided to become a photographer and use my photographic eye to capture people's special days. Since then, I have had the honor of photographing people from all over the world. If you're looking for a photographer, find someone whose work you love, but as important is their personality and the energy they'll bring to your special day. Feel free to contact me for more information. I'll be happy to help!

It was mine and my fiancé’s first time taking professional photos and honestly I was really nervous because I’m not a very photogenic person, but Gui’s calming presence and professionalism put us at ease, his calming voice and easy to follow instructions helped us with taking our first photos professionally, Gui’s eye for photography is amazing and the incredible shots he takes are truly an artwork. I highly recommend hiring Gui as your photographer for any event as he mostly dips in almost all types of events! Thank you again Gui! You’re an amazing photographer and person.

Hello, friends! I'm a 27-year-old wife, momma, & self proclaimed adventurer. I live with my husband, Ryan, in Central Missouri, but spend a lot of time on the road traveling! From Alaska to Italy to New Zealand, I'm a fan of world travels...and I'm more than willing to go just about anywhere for YOU! I'm here to capture ALL of life's adventures for you.

Marissa was so sweet and captured everything we asked for and more! Neither of us are the “photogenic” type, but she was kind enough to stage us in a way that was comfortable to us, and wasn’t a stickler on the “traditional” marriage poses/photos. She made sure that we did what we wanted.
