David and Blanca were incredibly professional and kind to work with. They captured all the special moments from our big day and posed us well along with our wedding party in our photo shoot. David coordinated with the photography venue (Mission San Juan Capistrano) and secured all the photography permits for us. He also threw in a bonus engagement photo session at a beautiful park in Irvine. On the big day, David and his wife, Blanca, were ready to go for our ceremony punctually and captured several beautiful memories. I barely noticed them throughout the ceremony, but when we received our photos, all our special moments were captured extremely well. They were again prompt and ready to go for our photo shoot at Mission San Juan Capistrano. We were time limited by the venue (our ceremony was at 2 in Costa Mesa and the Mission grounds close strictly at 5), but because David and Blanca were experienced and ready to go, we captured several beautiful photos at multiple places around the garden grounds. We were able to capture all the photos we needed and more within an hour. David and Blanca posed us and our wedding party well and the photos were professionally edited. They also captured all the special moments from our reception. Thanks to David and Blanca, we will have many beautiful photos to hang up in our house, share with our relatives, and cherish throughout our life.

That is where we shine as we subtly direct you through natural poses and provide subtle tips on how to get more flattering looks.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so incredibly happy we chose to use Jesse and his team as our photographers for our wedding day. My husband and I do not love being in front of a camera, but Jesse made us feel so comfortable. He brought the most calming energy that made the entire day even more enjoyable. One thing in particular that stood out to us was that we didn't hire Jesse to stay to the very end of our reception (we had an early ceremony), but he stayed way over his contract time to get more footage without us even asking. (Yes, we tipped him extra for that even though he did not ask for anything!) Not to mention our photos came out even more beautiful than we could have even imagined. PLUS- Jesse got our photos back to us within 2 weeks! That is almost unheard of this the wedding photography industry so we were over-the-moon excited when he shared the album with us. We were still on our honeymoon at the time so it made the experience of looking through the album for the first time even more special. A couple of weeks after we received the album, we received the videos of all the speeches and a "highlight" video of the entire day. Needless to say, all of the videos were beyond perfect and made me tear up watching as we got to relive moments of that day again. Overall, I couldn't recommend Jesse Madison Photography and Video enough. You won't be disappointed!

Hello. I'm Steven. Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming a professional in 2017, I have serviced over 80 weddings at diverse locations in my career. Throughout 3 years of my profession, I have chosen the path of fine art photography, which embraces natural colors, rich content, and especially real-time emotions. Contrary to traditional documentary photographers, my goal is to capture every special moment of your wedding day by praising the beauty through lighting and composition.

Awarded Best of Zola
Steven helped our friends to take their engagement photos, and my now husband and I were so impressed of his style, so when it was our time to look for the photographer for our big day, Steven was our first choice and the only photographer that we wanted to work with. Steven is friendly and easy to work with, and he is so good at capturing photos with natural lights and interactions between people. My husband and I was in a budget, but Steven was so understandable and willing to custom the package for us so that we could be within our budget :) On our wedding day everything got delayed, so we almost missed our wedding party photo session… But Steven did a great job and worked super fast to take photos for us and the photos were so great. All our friends and family love the photos that he took for us. We highly recommend Steven to everyone!

Newport Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

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!

  • Fine art style

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

I’ve worked with Cassie to capture my engagement, wedding & maternity shoots and I wouldn’t have it any other way. From her professionalism to her creativity to the beautiful photography she delivers, Cassie is such a dream to work with. She goes out of her way to scout the perfect location for the shoot & really puts my husband & I at ease (we’re super awkward when it comes to having our photos taken). I cannot recommend her enough!

We love, love, love the pictures we got from Peterson Design and Photography of our engagement and from our wedding! We are so pleased they were able to capture all those important moments from the ceremony as they happened and help us remember that part of the day. We are happy we'll always have those to look back on . After having our successful engagement photo shoot with Marisa and Tim, we were very confident that they would be able to capture our special day for us. There are so many great shots of our joyful day. I can clearly see right after the ceremony that I was so excited to hear the beginning of the celebratory Star Wars music that I gestured with my bouquet towards them, but I forgot about that until I saw the picture they caught of that moment - well done and thank you! We so appreciate their passion and enthusiasm for what they do - it really comes through the lens, and it made us feel relaxed, but excited too for our special day.

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

I'll keep this short and sweet because truly, it's not about me. I'm here to get to know you and understand you. I'm a mom to my sweet baby boy, a wife to my college sweetheart, and my passion for my work comes from one place — getting to know you, understand you, and photograph your love with integrity.

I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her team!! She did our engagement photos and our wedding day photography, and I truly believe both experiences would not have been the same without her. During our engagement photos, she had such a calming presence that made us feel so comfortable. She really got to know us, as people and friends, which helped us relax in front of the camera! So then, on our wedding day, when she came through the door of the bridal suite, I instantly relaxed. One thing that I had talked with her about beforehand was capturing not just wedding portraits, but pictures that we could look back on and remember the feeling of that day… And boy did she and her team deliver! Every time I look at our wedding photos, I remember the joy and love that was surrounding us on that day and I can’t thank her enough for that! All that PLUS, she has the most beautiful editing of any photographer I’ve seen out there AND got our photos back to us quicker than I ever expected! 100000/10 recommend Sarah Yates Photography!!

I’m a thrift shopper who loves cozy blankets and good pasta. Now that I'm a mom (of twins!), I'm reminded every day of how important the little moments are and how important it is for me to capture them before they're gone! 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.

I can’t begin to say how amazing, and how talented Emily is! Any couple that is looking for a photographer, needs to stop right here. My husband and I are the most awkward people when it comes to taking photos. But Emily is such a freaking pro and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Especially with me, and how much I hate taking photos of myself. But she was just so great with giving direction and so personable. Not only that, but we had multiple people compliment her on her work. We ended up hiring Emily as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos, and couldn’t be happier! I’m so happy I found her, she’s honestly going to be my main girl when it comes to taking any other professional photos down the road. Emily is the absolute best!

Your wedding album transcends time as a cherished heirloom, destined to be passed down through generations. Each detail of your special day merits an exquisite capture, narrating your unique love story with grace and authenticity. Our approach ensures that your wedding remains a celebration of love and not merely a production set for photography, preserving the essence of your day in a luxurious and timeless manner.

I don’t even know where to start, I can’t remember how I came across Kaitlin’s business but I’m so glad I did. She couldn’t have been sweeter. I was on a tight budget and after I received her pricing (which was very fair) I let her know it was out of my budget and she immediately offered to work within my budget and talk through what we could do. I also had my heart set on a videographer and she brought in her friend Nicole, they made the best team and worked so well together. They even offered to meet me for coffee and see the first look spot so I’d feel more comfortable the day of. Fast forward to the important part, Kaitlin is calm, professional, and truly wants the best for what you want during your special day. She does not pressure you to get a shot that doesn’t make you feel comfortable because she wants you to remember the parts of the day most important to you. We received sneak peek photos within 24 hours which was so impressive and they were beautiful, it had me counting down the days until the full album was done! We loved our photos and our friends and family had so many great things to say about them as well. You won’t regret hiring Kaitlin!

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

Awarded Best of Zola
Zack was AMAZING to work with! He has over 10 years of experience and it shows with the variety he offered in our gallery. Everything looked natural and he captured my surprise moment extremely well without tipping off my fiancé. I love how responsive he is, the ease of the being able to look at the gallery and sending it to friends/family. He led the photo shoot and nothing felt awkward. We had many different poses, camera effects, lighting and backgrounds all in one location. His creativity is incredible and when you find someone who loves what they do, you see it in the stunning results. Biggest moment in my life so far and it’s easy to relive through his photos. Thanks Zack!!

It's a gift--isn't it?--that God gave me this business to combine my artist's eye, desire to serve, and absolute exuberance meeting strangers. I am honored to receive.

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.

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Nadia and Gunnar! We met with them ahead of time at a local brewery and quickly learned that they would be a great fit. Their photography style is bold and beautiful, and the couple is very professional and easy to work with. It was so hard to narrow down our selection because there were soo many great shots!

I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Belinda. Is. Amazing. You don't even need to keep reading, you should just go book her for your next photography needs (especially for your wedding). Why is Belinda amazing? First and foremost, her photography is incredible. She took so many gorgeous photos from both our engagement session and our wedding day that are just stunning, many of which now hang in our home (and our families' homes... We spread Belinda's photography far and wide!). Belinda has an amazingly high attention to quality and detail, and the hardest work ethic. So first and foremost, the final products she creates are just incredible. But it's not just the final product that matters; it's also the process of getting there. Your photographer is someone who is going to be sharing and capturing some of your most intimate and important life milestones. You want someone who is a joy to work with (and whose team is a joy to work with), who is organized, calming, and knows how to run the show and keep a cool head when things go off plan (as they inevitably will in ways large or small). That is Belinda. Aside from her photography, her "shepherding" skills were invaluable throughout the entire wedding process, from the preparation, to the day of the wedding, to the follow up (which lasted many more months as we selected our prints, etc.). Plus you get the added bonus of her wonderful husband Collyn, too! Belinda knows how to run the show, and do so in a kind, calming, and discreet way (family drama? Belinda's got it handled!). She keeps you on time, stress-free, and having fun along the way. She makes it so that you can enjoy your special moments AND you get amazing photography out of it, to boot. I can't say enough great things and my husband and I both can't wait to work with Belinda again.

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.)

Hey there! My name is Katie and I am a part-time photographer and small business owner. My veins are filled with iced coffee and, most of the time, all I want to do is dance. Unlike most, I began my photography career later in life during my college days where I discovered film photography. I spent countless hours in the dark room developing photographs in chemicals and I loved every minute of it. I would describe my photography style as bold and true to color. My favorite part of photography is capturing moments that tell a story so that no matter how much time passes, you can go back and relive that story over and over again.

Katy was very creative and professional. We are so happy with her work and will be using her for all of our photography needs!

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

Amazing. From start to finish. Ashley leads with her heart first, and it’s very rare to work with people who look at their job from that perspective. My wedding day had some interesting curve balls and she jumped right in to help far beyond taking our photos. We loved working with her- she is like family!

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!

I make it personal for you which means not only will I come to your day with great ideas for posing, but I will work with the relationship and chemistry that you two have to make it unique to you!

Larissa was first to mind when our family made vacation plans to Yosemite. I knew I wanted to capture our Family in the best way possible and to have beautiful images to look back on and remember our trip. With the California fires, we had to redirect our travel plans and Larissa was extremely accommodating. We ended up in Palm Springs and she followed us through the day, capturing our family outing and backyard pool play - in the BEST way possible. She was calm which helped me keep my stress levels down and she was so playful with my kids, ensuring we got some great photos of us all! Thanks Larissa!

We loved Anatoliy! Anatoliy took photos for our wedding at an outdoor venue. We spoke multiple times before the wedding to coordinate and set expectations, and he was very responsive and friendly. On the day of, he knew our wedding schedule better than us and kept us on schedule! Most of all, his photos were amazing. My partner and I have had photoshoots in the past, and by far Anatoliy’s photos looked the most professional and clean, and he really knew how to capture the moment. We also appreciate Anatoliy’s creativity in suggesting poses because me, my partner, and our entire family can be really awkward when taking photos… but all of our photos looked very natural and beautiful. We could tell Anatoliy loved what he did and it really showed in the final product. Thank you Anatoliy!

Dancing in the kitchen, kissing, crying, laughing... there’s always a beautiful story to be told.

    Cailend is an absolute joy to work with! She has been part of our journey since day 1 and made us feel welcome and at home.

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.
