Our wedding business started out with me shooting a wedding video for a very dear friend of mine in 2017. I posted the video to a Facebook business page and BOOM! It received 200,000 views and we started receiving hundreds of inquiries from couples around the PNW. Every year I would book 30-40 weddings doing photos and videos for couples. When COVID struck, we had a year crashing into the next year. We had to adapt. So I grew our company to 8 teams of pro photographers/videographers to cover weddings around the US. There is nothing better than capturing love on the biggest day ever. Every day we are thankful to be able to do this.

I am a lover of puppy kisses, the beginning of football season, long drives with the windows down, and the thrill of adventure to new places.

We do not have any human children, but we do have four fur babies whom we are quite frankly obsessed with and are spoiled to no end. When I am not behind the camera, you can find me spending quality time with my family, working on some random DIY project, or binge watching a new show on Netflix.

Mary Jane Cole Photography
Taft, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,450
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

I fell in love with the art of Photography about 7 years ago and have looked at everything through a viewfinder since. I can't go anywhere without mentally composing a photo or wondering what angle I could use to make something look more interesting. I started taking photos for friends and family and quickly fell in love with the concept of saving a moment forever, in a unique way only I could. The technology surrounding photo-taking has come so far that everyone has the ability to snap a picture with their smartphone just about wherever they're at; but to me, the value of high quality photography will never be outdated or lose it's value.

Diane Bagaoisan Photography
Santa Rosa, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,725
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

Right after graduating from CSU Sacramento in 2012 (with a BA in Photography, might I add!), I did photography as a side-hustle while working a couple of various jobs: part-time as a Summer camp counselor and full-time at a medical device company. After getting married in 2016, I moved to Modesto with my husband since he was working there at the time. Because of the move, I had to leave my jobs in the East Bay. I took this move to the Central Valley as a sign that I should do photography full-time. So, since 2017, I've been a full-time wedding photographer. We are now in beautiful Sonoma County!

First off, my team and I are flames. We bring the heat. The fire. The fun! I’m like a mix between a professional and a early Kanye. I know when to be serious, but I also know when to start singing Whitney Houston’s, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” (I can even hit them high notes). From the moment you inquire, to the day I send you your goods, i’ll be over using the exclamation point! Some say that’s overly enthusiastic, but life is so much better this way. I hope that this energy will make you two feel comfortable, and at ease on one of the best days of your life. So, let’s get to talkin!

There's an old Italian proverb which says: "A woman born beautiful is born betrothed." I say all brides are beautiful and that's why I think I fall in love a little bit with each of my brides. It's hard not to. I love women. When they are in their wedding day "mode" they're irresistible. Glowing and smiling and pouring out such wonderful energy I'd almost shoot wedding photography for free just to ride the endorphins. Almost. And yeah, some of the grooms are pretty cute too ;) Same sex weddings, Gay Weddings? Lesbian Weddings? Same deal, same love, same great wedding photography.

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I booked Candace last year in 2022 for my engagement shoot after my then boyfriend proposed. I don’t recall how I found her but I did have an acquaintance who got photos taken by her so my best guess is that’s how I stumbled upon her. I ended up taking a leap of faith because most of her work was photos in front of natural scenery. Think red rocks of Sedona, pretty fields, typical Arizona photography backgrounds. We wanted a city photoshoot for our background and I knew I had to put faith in her work and her vision. Best. Decision. Ever. Our photos of course came out amazing but the true magic was her behind the camera! She made us feel so comfortable, safe and heard. She gave us a lot of direction in terms of poses which I feel is SUPER important and vital for amazing shots. We left that shoot and talked about how amazing we all got along and how friendly/awesome she was. Not only was she amazing in person but she was so professional when it came to communicating both pre-shoot and post-shoot. Immediately after that I knew we had to book her for our elopement. Oh and did I mention the photos came out SO BEAUTIFUL?! Anyway…fast forward to a few weeks ago (a year since our previous shoot). We had our elopement! I can’t express how much we enjoyed working with her this second time. Even though we’ve only met twice she feels like a good friend who not only is there to photograph you, but to hype you up as well. Truly she did not feel like a vendor there to perform services, it felt like I was inviting someone who was excited to be there and witness us get married (and of course document it!). She was SO amazing that after our wedding the very few family members who were up there with us could not stop taking about how much they loved her and wanted to book with her in the future! She is timely, communicates amazingly, talented, sweet/kind, passionate, and by far my future photographer for ANY event. We don’t have or want kids but are already talking about getting a shoot done with our fur babies. She deserves all the clients in the world. I wouldn’t say that about any random photographer. And I’m not just saying this because of how awesome her personality is. Her work speaks for itself! I myself used to do photography and am always amazed at what she creates. Not only is her work phenomenal but her pricing was fair and she delivered the photos so quickly! I even asked if she could edit a few early so I could work on physical announcements. She edited 8 for me and they were soooo good that I couldn’t wait so I posted them on my socials. Seriously if this hasn’t convinced you to book with her I don’t know what will! She is by far the best of the best. She knows what she is doing and an expert in her craft. By far everything we were looking for and much more! We love Candace (clearly!) and were so happy to have her at our wedding. She will 100% be seeing us for future shoots

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had the pleasure of spending our day, just the two of us, with Ashley and Nate. Nate was an incredible officiant and second shooter! Our elopement was at arches national park, where we met with Ashley and Nate at sunrise for our ceremony and first location for photos. They were both SO helpful, carrying gowns, buttoning (and unbuttoning!) the back of my gown, hiking up mountains for great shots, and went on adventures with us for some great photos and videos with the drone! Couldn't have asked for a more talented photographer. We received 25 sneak peaks that day, and CANNOT wait to see the rest of the gallery because we know they're going to be EPIC. Ashley is LGBTQ friendly, which was a huge factor in our decision to work with her. I couldn't possibly recommend a better photographer for your special day, whether an intimate but adventurous one, or one filled with friends and family...you won't be disappointed!!

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

I approach photography intentionally, and am emotionally driven behind the camera. I’m all about those in-between candids and documenting in the moment, as well as artful posing. I love making genuine connections with people, and the natural friendships that can come from working together! Approaching your wedding photography as an art form is just a small part of why I absolutely love what I do.

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

Laura is great! She really tries to get you know you on a deeper level, when I first reach out she sent a huge questionnaire which I loved! She is so flexible, which was perfect. Our wedding was in Vermont and we are living in Colorado. We were able to coordinate meeting up when we visited in May. We met at a beautiful location and she took soo many more photos than I thought we’d get back! They were all incredible! Her questionnaire for the wedding day was perfect! Fast forward to wedding day, she arrived promptly when we agreed on and got right to work! Guests loved her and she did such an amazing job! We had our first sneak peak picture at 7:30 the next morning! We loved working with Laura!

On the Big Day he was organized and had everything and everyone running smoothly. Everyone felt comfortable in front of the camera, even the guys! I had guests during the wedding coming up to me saying how awesome our photographer was. We received previews from him that weekend and OMG- tears of joy. You are crazy talented Adam!

My hope is for you to feel the way your loved one hugged you as they gave you away, to laugh as you look back at the best man giving his speech...every captured moment has a feeling. I will do my best to stop those moments in time for you to experience forever. I am witty, goofy, sarcastic, open-minded, & honest. I will be your ultimate third wheel.

Em is the best photographer we could have ever asked for to capture our wedding day. She went beyond documenting our wedding beautifully, she approached the entire process so welcoming and organized that it made our job easy. With all the moving parts of wedding planning, we knew we were in good hands with Em. We went with the Topaz package which included an engagement photo shoot! I encourage couples to go this route, so on your wedding day there’s already rapport built in! I appreciated having check ins to chat vision, timeline, etc. Here’s the part where I mention we are a same-sex couple, and as such, it warms our hearts to feel so immediately accepted the way we did with Em. Inclusivity was naturally present throughout the entire process, from big things to small. By the time our wedding day rolled around Em felt like an old friend to us. When she arrived at our venue we couldn’t help but greet her with bear hugs! She guided us throughout our day and made sure OUR vision was her priority. When we had questions or requests, Em was flexible and accommodating. The way she captured our day is beyond STUNNNINNGGGG!!!!!!!!! While reviewing our gallery we teared up, laughed, and our jaws dropped multiple times! It’s difficult to find words fitting of how elated we are with the outcome. Looking at our pictures we can feel the beauty, emotions, movement, and the warmth of our day. Thanks to Em and her second shooter Kara, we will be able to relive the happiest day of our lives for years and years to come. If you are lucky enough to have Em as your photographer you are being blessed with an experienced professional who is so caring, fun, and simply outstanding at what she does. We really cannot thank you enough, Em! Thanks for sharing the special moments with us we will remember forever.

When we finally reached our wedding day, she knew just how to work with an over-stressed bride and groom. She’s very calming and knows exactly how to coach and compose without being overbearing. Gabbie’s greatest strength is her ability to perfectly capture the atmosphere surrounding the event, not just the event itself. Looking through her photos isn’t a reflection, it’s a magnetic pull right back to the happiest day of our lives. We can relive our wedding every time we look at her work.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gen is the most kind, uplifting person I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with for my wedding. As a bride I didn’t want to add another stress to my plate, and Gen handled everything with grace. I met her a couple of years ago. I worked with her husband and that’s how we were introduced. Now, he works by her side doing videography. They have such a good, balanced chemistry that makes them so great at what they do. We chose them because we were familiar with their work, they were willing to travel, and had a very reasonable total price with a payment installments option. I booked the largest package Gen had that included a boudoir shoot, rehearsal time, the ENTIRE wedding day, and travel all the way to North Carolina. As far as taking photos, I just wanted to be comfortable. My husband and I aren’t great in front of a camera and we don’t take pictures very often. Gen especially built my confidence a lot during the boudoir shoot. I had never done anything like that before. Communication was easy. We texted a lot, had a couple of in person meetings and went into good details about my family and what to avoid or what to focus on. She even worked on her own with my wedding coordinator to nail down the day-of details! The biggest thing that stood out to me was the way she handled my downpour of a wedding day - It rained almost the entire wedding day. Everything was outdoors. We had a rain tent for the ceremony chairs and the reception was a covered open air pavilion. She handled it with grace, came up with creative ways to take our photos (her rain jacket was a lifesaver I’m sure) and we managed to do the entire first look and wedding party photos quickly in between bands of rain. We even made it completely on-schedule. Our family portraits post-ceremony were also taken in the rain with umbrellas but we somehow managed! For the final photos I must say I absolutely loved the vibrant colors and how everything looked so real. Some photographers have styles that use a lot of filters and beige-like colors. Gen doesn’t do that at all. Her photos were all focused, clear, and she even paid attention to details while shooting and had me make adjustments to my poses (I told her I don’t like my ears showing so she would help fix my hair and stuff). Her editing skills are also very good. I know I made an amazing choice choosing Gen for our best day ever. I highly, HIGHLY recommend her if you’re looking for someone to stick it out with you and take your stress away. I love her and her family, they are just the best. Thank you Gen for being so awesome at what you do!

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

Thank you so much to Emma for capturing not only our wedding day but also a wonderful engagement photo session! From setting up plans for our big day, to easily directing us throughout our shots and receiving our photos. Everything was a breeze with Emma, and I highly recommend!

Amanda provided the perfect balance of professionalism, insight, and a personal connection to not only our wedding day but also our engagement session. She was available to bounce ideas off of, to answer about quirky questions, and to make you forget there is a camera in your face while sharing very intimate moments with your person. The packages offered were priced at a great value and included several options to make sure your special moment is captured. I felt at ease that I did not have to worry if special moments from our wedding, the love we have for each other, and the celebration with our friends and family were captured by Amanda and her team. I am excited to use her for years to come as we grow as a couple and family. I cannot thank her enough for giving us such a great gift of frozen moments in time. Thanks for everything, The New.

Hi, I'm Katy! I've been a photographer and videographer for over 17 years and I love working with couples to create beautiful, artistic photos and films! My visual style tends to be soft with bright lighting, earthy/vibrant tones, a shallow depth of field (blurred backgrounds and foregrounds), and a mix of prompted and candid poses. My energy tends to be pretty calming, which can help people look and feel more natural in their photos and on video. I enjoy artistic collaboration and I love hearing your ideas and seeing your Pinterest inspiration boards!

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm SO glad we found Katy Nevinsky! Since day 1, she went above and beyond for us, by scouting cool places for engagement photos and going to our wedding venue (without even being asked!) to seek the best places & time of day for lighting. This helped tremendously with planning. Katy is so professional, friendly, easy-going, and the quality of her work is simply unmatched. She is a great listener and she clearly knows what she's doing. I've never liked so many photos of myself - and I love all of the ones she's taken! We will continue using Katy as our photographer for important life events, as well as fun photo shoots for years! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Thanks so much for stepping into my world of photography where capturing memories and emotions through the lens of my camera is a true passion. My journey as a photographer began in my teenage years when my Uncle, an avid photographer, sparked my love for the art by showing me the magic of capturing life's moments. With over 100 weddings under my belt as a lead photographer and mentorship from some of the Bay Area's top wedding photographers, I bring a wealth of experience to each and every shoot. My goal is always to produce images that are not just beautiful but also truly authentic.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I recently made the fantastic decision to hire Hok to photograph our wedding. Throughout the entire process, Hok was attentive, responsive, and kind. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, coming out to the property ahead of time to check lighting and scout photography locations, assuring us that even if it rained our wedding was going to be perfect, and bringing an additional assistant to assure that he would capture all of our special moments in case of rain. He and his team captured every moment, and each photograph feels alive and full of heart. He photographed a range of lighting; indoor, outdoor, morning, sunset, and night sky over a bonfire, all with equal skill. Every time I look at them I feel like I am there again, experiencing moments I was a part of, and even those that I wasn't. Everyone who sees the photos is in awe. I would highly recommend him for any event!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am very lucky that I got Shelby to take our engagement photos in Central Park this past year. She helped me pick the right spot in the park and factored in all the variables that a guy would typically not think about for engagement photos. I live in Kansas City and worked with her virtually and she was awesome through the entire process. I never met Shelby in-person until the day of our engagement, and she was on-time and ready to get the shot when I went down on one knee. Her photos came out great and we are incredibly happy with them. We have already sent multiple copies to our relatives thanks to her reliable photo sharing portal. Shelby is kind, professional and courteous to work with. DO NOT PASS on her for your next big event photography needs. Thank you again Shelby!

To sum up our experience with Sam, it would have to fall under one word: trust. She is a master with guiding you through poses, developing confidence in yourself, capturing moments that take you right back to that day, and above all else she produces a gorgeous photo gallery that you just can't stop looking at. If you trust in her knowledge, skill, talent, and guidance I promise you will be so thankful for all of her hard work. She traveled hours, trekked through snow and mud, and got covered in rain with us just to make our photos happen. I never doubted her skill or talent, and she even showed us raw photos from her camera while shooting just to reassure us that everything was all good! We appreciate all of her time and effort and we highly recommend her in every capacity! Trust in her as a photographer and you will be making the right decision.

Thomas was easily one of the most professional members of the wedding team. We ended up relying on him to navigate the sometimes confusing scheduling and his knowledge of the traditions. He kept us hitting our marks for each moment and delivered amazing photos in an easy to access way very quickly after the events (we used him for engagement and wedding photos). Looking back, Thomas was definitely one of our best picks for the wedding team.

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

I so thoroughly enjoyed the whole process of working with Loren for our wedding. From the initial consult, I felt comfortable and connected. As someone who doesn’t love being in the spotlight, Loren made me feel at ease during our wedding day and captured everything we hoped for.
