Chris Benavidez deserves a perfect five star rating - and deserves all the five star reviews he has received in the past and will receive in the future. Wedding photos are forever, and it's impressive how a one second press of the shutter can lead to a photo which expresses a lifetime of love, memories, celebration, and laughter. Chris makes sure to capture those moments. He is responsive, attentive, detail oriented, timely, and most of all, charismatic. He has an amazing personality and really wants what's best for the couple, and I believe that is expressed in the photos he creates. He will shoot in any location you wish, will take any angle of shot that you wish, and will make sure you are happy with the end result. And trust me, you will be! You know how you always look at your grandparents wedding photos or your parents' wedding photos, or even a friends wedding photos and say "wow thats a good picture"? You will get a thousand of those good pictures with Chris. He will create a set of photos that perfectly captures your special day, and you shouldn't look elsewhere for a photographer. Oh! And he gets on the dance floor with the couple to capture those great moments where everyone is celebrating your love haha! Choose CH Photography and don't think twice about it. He is incredible. Thank you Chris!! - The Dions

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

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

We wanted a wedding that felt like a fairytale, full of magic moments. But we were unsure if we could find someone who could capture that on photo and video. Aladdin Films made it real for us. They got all the nice details, like the soft lights in the evening and the joyful laughter outside. Everything that made our day special, from the flowers in the center of the aisle at the ceremony, to the smiles of my parents during my brother's speech. They've captured them all. When I showed the video to my parents and friends, my parents cried, my friends cried, I cried, because of how incredible the video captured our special day. It felt like all that happened moments ago, and I'm sure it will give the same feeling for years to come! ;) Aladdin Films turned our wedding into a lovely fairytale!

  • Serves Riverside, CA

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA. With over a decade of experience and features in Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

Holy smokes! If you're looking for a photographer in California/Bay Area who's not just talented but an absolute blast to work with, look no further. We just had our engagement shoot, and let me tell you, Katherine is the real deal. Her personality is so infectious, we forgot we were even doing a photoshoot. Before we knew it, we were laughing, being silly, and just having fun with what felt like an old friend. She asked us all the right questions that made us feel at ease and boy, did it show in the photos. TLDR? If you don't book her, you're missing out big time. I would 1000% recommend her.

Working with Marijo for our engagement shoot and the day of our wedding was nothing short of ideal.

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Truly, I cannot express the gratitude that I have for Sarah and her team. She is kind, professional, and has the exact kind of energy everyone hopes for on their big day.

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

  • Photojournalistic style

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

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabbie was a true delight to work with - easy going, pleasant, responsive, and thoughtful. And did I mention that her photos were AMAZING?

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Anna is AH-MAZING. I found her on a Facebook thread for photographers, and what really appealed to me was her editing style, as well as her candid plandids. Throughout the planning and meet-ups, Anna made this process simple and straightforward. I really appreciated that. I loooove polaroid photos, and I asked Anna if we could do that, too. We did and now I have many wonderful polaroids to look back at. We had a simple wedding day, with a photography session at SF Botanical Garden, followed by getting hitched at SF City Hall. My spouse and I did have a hiccup in the beginning, because we’re not familiar with SF, but Anna was super patient and chill about it. Her calm demeanor helped me calm my nerves (I really appreciated that, too). My spouse and I have never had experiences with getting our photos taken, and Anna made our first experience wonderful. She provided prompts that were wholesome and sweet, and took photos of us doing so. Seeing our photos was a surprise, because I never imagined us looking this awesome. Thank you so much Anna 3

Photography is a large part of the wedding day and I'm grateful I spent that time with Masha. I am picky about photos since my dad is very passionate about photography, especially film photography. The photos (both digital and the film ones) turned out absolutely incredible. She took both traditional wedding portraits as well as some very dreamy gorgeous editorial-like photos. It's hard to convey how happy I am about the experience. I'm already dreaming about another vow renewal so I can book Masha again!

Awarded Best of Zola
Since receiving our wedding photos from Jess, several of my friends and family members (including 2 professional photographers!) have asked me for her contact info because of how amazing her photos are!! When we started looking for a wedding photographer, we knew that we needed to find someone with a great eye for candids, who wouldn't make our pictures feel too staged, who had a fun/funky vibe like us, and who could handle wrangling my extremely large family (full of very opinionated people) for family photos, and Jess handled everything with ease! I feel so lucky that we found Jess, and I cannot recommend her more. Jess made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding day, and even gave guidance to family members who are normally awkward in photos (e.g. suggesting ways to pose to make them more comfortable). Jess went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, checking in with us, getting to know us, and even coming to a venue walkthrough so she could get a sense of the space! I am so grateful for all of the work Jess put into our wedding, and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I rarely even like photos of myself, but I honestly am so in love with the ones that Jess took that I jump on every opportunity to whip out my phone and share them with friends!

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

My husband and I cannot rave enough about how amazing Amanda is as a photographer!! We live in NYC and had our wedding in southern California, so it was extra important for us to find someone who was professional and responsive. Amanda was both right from the beginning, and she made all the preparations very easy for us. We first met her in person to take our engagement photos, and we felt like we bonded with Amanda right away. We both feel awkward in front of a camera, and Amanda was a pro at helping us to relax and look natural in the photos. And her photos from our wedding are absolutely stunning! She did an incredible job capturing the natural light of our outdoor venue and all of the special moments, big and small, from the day. We are so, so happy with our photos, and with the wonderful memories Amanda helped us create. The icing on the cake is that Amanda puts personal touches on everything that she does and provides, and it's clear she loves her job. It's not a stretch to say I recommend Amanda every chance I get, and although we don't live in southern California, I genuinely hope we'll have more opportunities to work with Amanda again. Thank you, Amanda - you're a treasure!

They understood and appreciated our desire to capture genuine, nonscripted moments in our wedding photos and we are so happy with the results. It was harder for them to make sure they took pictures of everyone we loved without the traditional family photos, but their care and commitment came through and they delivered on all our needs.

As a photographer, my goal is to capture stories in the form of images. Photos have the power to help you relive a specific moment in time and recall all of the emotions and details surrounding that moment. When I work with you on a photo project, my goal is to provide you with photographic records of those moments. I want you to be able to look back at your photos years from today and be able to relive that moment in time.

HIRE THIS TEAM!!!!! We love everything about this company! We were lucky enough to be able to work with this wonderful team before we were even engaged, so we were blessed with not only the most magical wedding day photography experience, but also our engagement session, engagement party and bachelorette/bachelor party. Our experience was ABSOLUTELY the best we have ever had with any vendors we have ever hired. A true professional and a true friend every step of the way, the desire to make us feel safe, seen, prepared and excited leading up to our day was so clear and so deeply appreciated. The way her and her assistant made every member of our bridal party and family comfortable throughout the day and by the end of the whole process, we will forever treat them like family. The photos we've received thus far are nothing short of phenomenal. I have truly never felt more beautiful! We could not have dreamed up a better photographer or a better experience. Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts! If you are looking for an incredible all around photography experience for your wedding, you have truly found it! Extra bonus they are GREAT with dogs in pics.

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

It's not often that you come across a wedding photographer who can capture the essence of the day as perfectly as Irina did for us. The creativity and fun that she brought to the wedding were palpable, making her a hit with everyone who attended. It's clear that Irina has a natural talent for photography, which was evidenced by her ability to capture every detail of the wedding flawlessly. From the table settings to the rings to the families, Irina was able to capture every moment with a level of skill and expertise that is truly spectacular. It's not easy to capture the joy and love that are present at a wedding, but Irina did it effortlessly, resulting in a set of photographs that truly capture the essence of our special day. Beyond her obvious talent as a photographer, Irina also proved to be a trustworthy professional who was dedicated to ensuring that her clients were happy with the final result. It's clear that she takes great pride in her work, and her commitment to providing her clients with the best possible experience is evident in everything that she does. Overall, if you're in search of a wedding photographer who is both talented and dedicated to her craft, Irina is definitely the one to choose. We are couldn't be happier with her work and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a photographer that will capture their special day perfectly.

Hi!! I'm Maria, photographer, mom, wife, and nacho lover. Not listed in any particular order lol Once I had my first born, I realized going back to work at CBS was not what I wanted with 12 hour workdays. I took photography classes and decided to build my own business myself. I have been photographing weddings for the last 6 years and enjoy celebrating this amazing day with all my clients. Cheesy as it may sound, I'm an absolute romantic and I relish in witnessing the love, words said, and the joy found at every wedding.

I’m here to capture nostalgic memories and help you remember the emotions behind the photos. I love capturing those truly candid moments. The kind of photos that put you right back in the moment five, ten, fifty years later. I'm a Southern California based photographer that will travel wherever you want to document your love! I'm constantly exploring with laid-back couples that want to capture genuine moments about their relationship. When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my loved ones, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm not even sure where to begin! We met Emily in 2022, when my now husband and I got engaged in the Outer Banks. Leading up to our engagement shoot, we were both anxious expecting to feel uncomfortable and out of place in front of a professional camera lens for the first time. After meeting Emily, that awkwardness lasted about 2 minutes flat, and soon found ourselves not only feeling comfortable, but truly having a blast with it. Between changing locations, we grabbed coffee and bagels where we spent time chatting and getting to know Emily, discovering many similarities between our families, talking about our dogs and so much more. While shooting at our second location, a gorgeous botanical garden none of us had ever been to, it truly felt as if we were just there to explore and that Emily was our childhood friend who happened to just have a camera with her taking photos and not at all that we had just met her earlier that morning. By the end of our day together, before even seeing a single photo from our shoot, we were already discussing flying her out to NY to shoot our wedding and months later, the minute we decided on a date, we hired Emily again. Working with Emily to plan our photography portion of the wedding was truly the easiest part of the entire wedding planning process for us. She was extremely helpful and organized, asking questions, giving suggestions and creating a detailed timeline based on what was important to us, but what stood out the most was that she was genuinely passionate about making the day as enjoyable for us as possible. She showed us this by going above and beyond in ways such as offering help and resources completely unrelated to photography, doing her own research, creating polls on her social media platforms to help answer our questions, reaching out to her own personal contacts, sending helpful questionnaires, answering late night texts and emails and beyond. Our calls with her always put me at ease during such a hectic time and turned my anxiety into excitement. Leading up to our wedding, Emily continued to often reach out just to simply check on us and see if she could offer a helping hand (beyond the million ways she already had) which stood out immensely to us. The day of our wedding, having Emily with us was truly like having a lifelong friend there to get ready together. Something so special about her is the way she has mastered the balance between bringing a presence of excitement and a sense of calming to the day. She is able to get the photos necessary without an overbearing energy which many of our friends and family observed as well, mentioning how they wish their own wedding photographers were more like her. We received much praise from our families and friends but also our other vendors as well, for how well she worked with them and how kind and easy it was to spend the day with her. She was not just our photographer, she was a pillar of our day. When you hire Emily, you are really hiring a passionate, down to earth, genuine and professional person who happens to also be an incredibly talented photographer. Sharing two of the most special moments of our lives so far with Emily has been such a blessing. We are so excited to continue to hire Emily for all of our next chapters in life. She has become a dear friend of ours and love any reason to work with her we can get! You will not regret hiring her!

We are so lucky to have had MKE Shoots as our wedding photographer! Our Wedding was in April 2024 and we booked Murtaza about 10 months in advanced. We found him through a referral from an old college friend who recently got married, and she had nothing but great things to say about Murtaza. Murtaza photographed our engagement photo session and Anita photographed our wedding. Both of them produced an amazing quality of photos that we will cherish forever. During the Wedding, we had a slideshow during cocktail hour with our engagement photos, and our guests loved it! Anita was so easy to work with. She was very accommodating during the wedding, worked very professionally, and even snapped some memorable moments during reception. We are so excited to see the final photos! We also loved that MKE provides 24 hour sneak peaks. That helps us relive moments right away and also update our socials so our guests, friends, and family can continue feeling the buzz and momentum from our Wedding. 100% recommend!

Working with J. Roman was a dream! We won an engagement shoot with J and quickly knew we wanted him as our wedding photographer after an engagement shoot that was so fun! He delivered hundreds of photos that we loved. His range is amazing; from moody and dark, to vintage and chic, to glam and bright, all the versions of photography you crave for your big day, J covers! We were open to J's eye when it came to moments and he worked seamlessly on our big day--him or his team never felt intrusive to a special moment. The raw emotion of the wedding day was captured so beautifully-we get to relive such a momentous day over and over through his art. He was incredibly professional, was very easy to work with and was so helpful in planning. J has delivered amazing results: 2500 photos for our wedding, which we received in exactly 3 weeks. We received the first short video within 4 weeks of the wedding as well for his photography and videography package. So grateful that we booked with J Roman and would recommend his over and over again!

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!
