Jenna Salvagin Photography

5.0

Warwick, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

Jenna from the beginning was so accommodating and so easy to work with. She had amazing ideas when my husband and I had no idea what to do and really found ways of capturing our individuality. I truly couldn’t imagine anyone else to have been there to capture this day. She made everyone feel at ease. ADDITIONALLY, whenever anyone wasn’t doing what they were supposed to be doing, she took charge and made sure we were on schedule. Loved working with Jenna and seriously can’t recommend her enough!!!

A Perfect Impression

Brentwood, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,195
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

A renowned wedding photography studio in the San Francisco Bay Area, has been capturing beautiful wedding moments for over two decades. In partnership with Wedgewood, our classically trained photographers and videographers cover around 100 weddings annually. We excel in not just photography but also in coordinating and assisting, ensuring a seamless and memorable wedding day for each couple.

API was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding reception, I cannot recommend them enough! While many couples have a vision and idea of what they wanted photos to look like, we were the complete opposite in that we felt very inexperienced and unsure on how our photos should look, other than that we wanted lots of candid moments throughout the reception of both us and our guests. API took the reins immediately and made us feel at ease by taking over the posed photoshoots and seamlessly transitioned to taking photos of our guests. We received beautiful photos (in a very fast time!) of our couple shots and lots of beautiful, fun, and funny candids of the reception - they were so professional that we barely even noticed their presence (in the best way possible) as they were hard at work taking lots of wonderful photos! I’m so grateful for the API team for being there on our special day. Thank you so much for everything!

The moment that is about to happen is one that deserves to be documented with care, precision, and the direction of an artist. I love working with families and couples, but I’m especially excited by those who put creativity & thought into planning their day or event.

Hello! I’m so excited for the chance to work with you. I’m a former teacher who has always had a passion for photography. I started working freelance in 2015 and did a lot of my first jobs in the music industry! I’ve shot Warped Tour a few times and even had one of my promos featured by AP magazine. I quickly realized I loved working with couples the most, and now focus on couple and family portraits and weddings!

Thalia was so amazing to work with. I got married the end of August and had spoke with a few photographers before speaking with Thalia straight away I knew she was the one for us. So warm and kind and could put us at ease. Myself and my husband wouldn’t love the camera but Thalia was able to make us so at ease, I was honestly shocked. The photos turned out even more amazing then I thought. Thalia also helped with my timeline I didn’t have a wedding planner and she reviewed it and made suggestions. Was always so helpful on answering questions and worked effortlessly with our videographer you would of thought they were a team. On the night of the wedding Thalia made sure to keep us on track with our timeline reminding us of what we should be at. I can’t recommend enough. Really lucky to have found Thalia.

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.

We had a wonderful experience working with Hok for our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner/ Sangeet/ Mehendi Raat photos, and wedding photos. From the first time we met Hok, we felt very comfortable with him, and he always made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is hard since we don't like being photographed generally!). His years of experience show and he has shot all over the Bay Area- he gave us suggestions for locations for our Sangeet and ideas for videographers, going above and beyond his photographer duties. We appreciated how he shot the diversity of our two families and traditions. His photographs are so incredibly beautiful, whether capturing a lehenga/sari or a white wedding dress, an individual portrait or a group dancing. He finds a great balance of getting great posed shots that look still look natural and candid shots that capture everyone's individuality. Our guests keep complementing us on our photographer, and we recommend him to all our friends and family. We will definitely use Hok again in the future!

Inspiration is everywhere. Capturing love in its true essence is the ideal subject for photography: your wedding day memories will last a lifetime. I tell your story through my lens so that one day, your family can know the love they came from, as you share images and recount your most treasured moments in time. My point of view as a photography turned cinematic making a memorable scene of love. I guaranty to you a photography session with reasonable prices + quality photography & professional costumer service.

Yesika Transforms Moments into Timeless Memories. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Yesika as our wedding reception photographer, and the experience was nothing short of magical. Hailing from Cuba and honing her craft in Spain and France, Yesika brought a unique blend of cultural richness and artistic flair that truly set her apart. From the very beginning, we knew we were in for something special. Despite her company being relatively new, our initial encounter with Yesika during our engagement photoshoot left us awestruck. Her ability to capture natural beauty and those fleeting, candid moments was unparalleled, prompting us to entrust her with the monumental task of documenting our wedding day. Yesika's journey to our rustic Farm in the Sierra Foothills showcased her unwavering dedication to her craft. Her keen eye for detail was evident as she effortlessly immortalized the blooming wildflowers and skillfully incorporated the mesmerizing sunset as a backdrop. The resulting engagement photos were a testament to her talent and left us with immeasurable excitement for what she would create on our big day. The wedding reception itself was a whirlwind of joy, laughter, and heartfelt moments, and Yesika was the silent maestro behind the lens, orchestrating a visual symphony that perfectly encapsulated the essence of our celebration. Her ability to narrate our story through her photographs was nothing short of remarkable; each image told a tale of love, excitement, and the sheer fun we experienced on that unforgettable night. Yesika's professionalism, coupled with her warm and friendly demeanor, made the entire process a seamless and enjoyable experience. She seamlessly blended into the festivities, capturing both the planned and spontaneous moments with equal finesse. Her passion for her craft and dedication to exceeding expectations were palpable throughout our entire interaction. Yesika, we not only gained a photographer but also an artist who transformed our wedding day into a collection of timeless memories. We wholeheartedly recommend Yesika to anyone seeking a photographer who not only captures moments but elevates them into works of art. Her talent, coupled with her genuine enthusiasm, made our wedding day all the more extraordinary, and for that, we are forever grateful. Thank you, Yesika, for turning our special day into a visual masterpiece!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have been in the wedding industry for close to 9 years and I have had the pleasure to work with many great photographers. Angela and Michael are by far my favorite photographer duo to work with. The first time I met them, as a wedding coordinator, I felt like part of their team right away. They both are very professional but with such a kind, warm and confident presence. Angela and Michael are so interested in getting to know the bride and the groom individually and as a wedding couple. My client's personality and energy got captured with such ease by them. Through their lens they show not only a wedding day, but a love story. Angela and Michael made my work look just amazing and professional. I noticed right away that their eye in detail is outstanding. But what stands out the most is their warm and caring personality towards the clients and also towards the other vendors. Angela puts a lot of time in presenting their work. Besides compiling and editing, she has a blog where the sneak-peek pictures get shared on, and where the wedding couples love story is told. This makes the process towards receiving the final product a whole experience and so much more fun. Angela and Michael's service goes beyond just capturing amazing beautiful pictures.

Hi, it's nice to meet you! I am Eszter, Wedding and Portrait Photographer, located in San Francisco Bay Area. Fueled by equal parts of hot chocolate with whipped cream and passion, I spend my days capturing images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Life is beautiful, just like your story and your love and I can’t wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years.

Eszter was incredibly easy to work with, and when I initially reached out to ask if she was available for photos mentioning that we were doing a small and rather non-traditional wedding in the backyard, there was zero judgment. She went with the flow and put my mind at ease that she would work with whatever was in place. I spoke to a number of other photographers who had so many requirements and made it feel like they were doing you a huge favor, whereas Eszter really made us feel like she wanted to be a part of our day and capture each and every moment. Never did she try to sell us expensive add-ons outside of our budget, and she was incredibly responsive. Eszter is such a pleasure to work with, my entire family was thrilled to have her taking photos - she made us all feel at ease. And to top it off, her photos are beautiful! She captures the lighting, the expressions and candid moments, and also helps you pose naturally. I would highly recommend and hope to work with her again for future photos!

Changing Lives With One Click At A Time For me, witnessing a wedding is the greatest honor of being a photographer. Whether in rustic backyards or grand ballrooms, the greatest story is told through the couple and the lens that captures their most powerful moments. I take pride in skill, but most of all, commitment. Some say patience is a virtue; however, commitment transcends time. Commitment to my craft, commitment to honoring the couple, commitment to making their day one to remember. From the Monterey seas to the golden hills of Napa County, I travel to preserve memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Allan highly enough. He was the perfect person to capture my engagement, the greatest day of my life. His work is outstanding. He has an incredible attention to detail and made the entire process seamless and effortless. I appreciate all the direction he gave during the photo shoot. I’ve been around photographers that expect you to know how to pose, and not everyone knows how to do that. With Allan, you’re in the best of hands. You can trust his direction so that the final product is everything you want and more. You should definitely hire him, whatever your photography needs may be!

Mountain View, CA

Located in SF. As a Photographer; I'm a storyteller. My imagery captures a harmony of raw emotion, authentic evanescent moments, and curated artistry. I believe in camaraderie with my couples to create beautiful memories, love stories shared over wine & a fire-pit and giving back with each wedding I book. I champion for kindness and giving back. My couples echo this right back. They are stylish, authentic and plan amazing details but also know how to pop the champagne and head to the dance floor.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was my lucky day the day I met the Animus Art team at a bridal expo and won their free engagement photo shoot. When my (now) husband and I met with them over coffee (the way to their hearts, I found later) to talk about the shoot, I hadn't intended on choosing our wedding photographer then. We ended up loving their work so much...but more importantly, we fell in love with them as people. They have such a passion for what they do and for the people they work with, and it shows through in every conversation, every laugh, and every photo. My husband and I stayed after they left to discuss it, and we decided that day to choose them. We had lofty goals for our engagement shoot. We wanted to do a Pixar-inspired theme. I'm a perfectionist and had a vision of what I wanted. What we got was so much more. For our wedding photos...they captured moments I didn't know I needed. Some of my favorite shots are candid photos only their eyes would have seen. And once we found out we were pregnant, we immediately turned to them to not only help us capture the maternity and newborn moments, but the birth process as well. That's how close we've become with Pedro and Burcu...they were the only people we trusted to be in the room the moment our first child was born. The photographs are more than I could have hoped for, and looking at them brings tears to my eyes. They were able to capture so many emotions, and those photos are a gift I'll never be able to repay. I can't recommend them enough, and there aren't words for how much their dedication to those precious moments in our lives means to me. I can't imagine a special occasion without them...not only as photographers, but now as friends.

Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Sarah from Sarah Luther Photography. I specialize in weddings, family portraits and event photography. I started Sarah Luther Photography out of a passion for capturing love and emotion through photography. Growing up, my mom would always take tons of family pictures. I was given a camera as a gift when I was 10 years old and haven't been without one since. :)

Sarah and her husband Ori photographed our wedding in July and we couldn't be happier with our photos. They make a great team, professional and easy to work with. Amazing photographers who love what they do and its evident in their photos. We wanted more candid, natural pictures opposed to posed ones. They got so many unexpected moments and memorable shots. From getting ready, to the ceremony, to dancing at the receptions and everything in-between. All without even knowing that they were there taking pictures. We were so happy that we chose Sarah as our photographer and you will too!!! Thank You Sarah and Ori for photographing our wedding!!! Eydie & Rick

My fiancé and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but I guarantee if you were an outsider looking in on our engagement/wedding shoots you would think we had done this a million times before! Quianna does an amazing job of providing direction on how to pose and her positive feedback and exclamations like "magic is happening!" made us feel so comfortable. We couldn't believe we actually had FUN taking so much many pictures and its all thanks to her. I could go on and on about how much I love Quianna and 100% recommend her for any photography needs.

Avery Wong Photography

San Bruno, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,700

I can tell you how I started shooting photos since I was a young wee lad, but that's what everyone else says and also it's not true. I didn't even pick up a camera until I was in high school. I'm the type of person who ignores convention and does it differently, my own way. Seldom the "right" way, but always the "Wong" way. My passion for creativity and my adeptness of the tech and the technical is what allows me to weave my craft and to produce art for my couples.

When my now husband and I were looking for a photographer, we made a tier list. After lots of weeding out of mediocre photographers, we narrowed our selections down to two. We resolved to contact the last two to see which one we wanted to go with. From the minute I first met Avery on zoom, I knew that I wanted to work with him. Not only are his photos phenomenal and extremely cinematic, they are somehow able to tell a story in the photo. I felt moved looking at some of his albums and I wondered how he was able to do that. When we actually got to working with him on our wedding day, I understood his process: He actually knows how to pose a model and gives clear instructions on where to put your hand, when to tilt head down, where to look, etc. This is what I was specifically looking for, as I've had some photographers who were just 'okay' that snapped away but gave no direction as to what to do. I think this is the mark of an excellent photographer and one who has clearly done many weddings. My butt looks great in all the photos. :) Also, I feel like I would qualify as a quirky bride, and he totally embraced that and took photos of my multiple plushies. That's a 100 in my book.

Nice to meet you, I am Sharyce. You are here which means you already know I like to take pictures. But WHY I take pictures is a different story. For nearly a decade I called myself a photographer because I picked up my camera occasionally and made some extra cash here and there. A version of myself now likes to look back and cringe at the photographer from a decade ago. However she (me) set the foundation for my career path today. When I became a mother I found that pictures had much more meaning behind them. Yes, I am going to go into the stereotypical photographers speil about “visual storytelling”.

I wish I could leave 10 stars. Sharyce has a knack for capturing those split second moments that you'll cherish for a lifetime. Her calming and friendly demeanor is exactly what you need to get those honest and emotional photos. I would recommend her to anyone! Stop your search, you've found the talent you're looking for.

My name is Brittani and photography is my ARTlet. Inspired by the constant flow of love and energy of the world, I photograph people who value authenticity and connection. I reside in San Jose, but with the heart of the adventurer, I'm always ready to grab my backpack and go.

Brittani was recommended to us by our planner, Dumi Gordon — and I’m so glad we went with her. From start to finish, Brittani was a consummate processional. She’s communicative, empathetic, and very talented. On the day of she was calm, upbeat, and efficient. Everyone loved working with her, from our wedding party to family and guests. Brittani is especially good at making her subjects look and feel natural- not always an easy feat at a wedding! Her 2nd photographer, Lahni, was also great! We’ve already seen our sneak photos (Brittani sent them ahead of schedule) and they are gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the rest (I know they will be surpass our already high expectations).

Life is full of amazing moments. Moments we want to hang onto tight, moments we want to never forget, moments we want to be able to re-experience anytime. There is a way to do just that - photography. How often have we looked at a photo and the whole memory comes flooding back? How often does a photo make us laugh or cry? When we share photos with others, they want to know more about the moment. We share the stories, and in doing so, we bring them in on the memory too.

Without Angela & James my wedding would have been postponed or cancelled. Angela gave me info to help my wedding possible in the time of COVID. And let me tell you... they are TRULY A BLESSING. The best investment we made for the wedding was photography. I told my husband that was something I would not budge on and I’m glad I didn’t, Angela and James became like friends to us. I text Angela on the holidays and even when my son was born! They pay so much attention to detail that looking back at my photos they captured moments that I didn’t even realize were a part of my wedding. Their turnaround time is remarkable, all the sneak peaks made me want to see more and more and when I got the final photos I was in awe of all of them. Thank you to Angela & James for capturing the beautiful moments of our wedding!!!! Such genuine people and I’m glad that we met them and built a friendship!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Khariza Rae is unparalleled in every aspect of her photography. We can't recommend her enough. If you're thinking about booking her, DO IT QUICKLY! Here's why you should hire her to photograph your special day... 1) She will capture your true personalities and essence. Yes, she beautifully shot all of the key moments - our first kiss, our first dance, posed family photos, etc. - but she also captured candid moments that truly reflect us. She caught us laughing authentically at a joke, smiling at each other across the room, and breaking it down on the dance floor. The photos captured who we are as a couple and what that day meant to us. We weren't expecting to connect so emotionally to the photos, but she is truly an artist that captures beauty throughout the day. We feel so blessed to have our love frozen in that moment of time forever through her photos. 2) She makes taking photos enjoyable. Between the engagement and wedding photos, you will be taking LOTS of photos during this time in your life. She knows how to make her clients comfortable and puts you at ease. She truly felt like a friend. Khariza will put you in positions that are flattering to you, while making it feel casual and low key. Her calm, reassuring energy is exactly what you want (and need) on your wedding day. 3) Khariza is genuinely a great human being. When we were selecting wedding vendors, we wanted to select vendors who celebrated all types of love, regardless of the gender, creed, race, etc. We're an interracial couple and in addition to feeling loved and celebrated by Khariza, she also did an incredible job balancing our skin tones in multiple lighting situations, even in a dark room as we danced during our after party! Khariza supports and includes everyone in her photography. She celebrates love in all forms on her social media, her websites, and in person, extending beyond words into the excellence she brings to her craft! Again, we cannot recommend her enough. We'll be using Khariza for all of our special moments in the future too!

Not to mention, she helped us find an officiant, and has been able to answer every question I had about weddings in general. Her knowledge in the industry goes far beyond photography/videography.

My husband is not a fan of pictures, but he leaves sessions with the Drzazgas in a great mood, Carly is so good at making us laugh! All of our photos turn out GORGEOUS!!! Pictures are something I truly cherish and she always does the most perfect job at capturing all of our special moments that we will be able to look at forever.

Connie was so sweet to work with and the images she captured brought us to tears. We flew to Chicago from CA to elope on Leap Day in City Hall and it was insanely busy! Connie arrived on time and we were running late. Due to the volume of couples waiting to get married, we waited 75 minutes to be finally called back. Connie took detail photos of us without us even noticing while we waited. She also had the idea to record our ceremony and it’s a video I treasure. She thankfully had some flexibility in her schedule to allow us to add additional time to get the shots we wanted since most of our scheduled time was taken up by waiting to be called. We loved the movement in her photos, capturing us throughout the city, and let us just bask in the newlywed bliss after the anticipation of waiting all morning. She captured the small smiles and looks between us and let us just be us, something we wanted most for our elopement. She gave us some direction but mostly let us move naturally, so if you feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, take a shot of Malört and loosen up! We would love to work with Connie again and so glad we chose her for our experience. But if you’re booking on a special date, make sure you give yourselves plenty of time!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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. I can’t recommend her enough! I wanted a candid, realistic view of the whole day, and she gave that to us with absolute ease. You won’t regret hiring Fox and Fig for a second!

I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts!

So we scheduled our wedding day, then few months later COVID hit. So I was like oh we have time we good. Then it kept getting closer and closer.... I was freaking out, but luckily Ashley as our photographer, helped me to stay calm, while continuing to finish planning the wedding. Her photos captured all the love that my husband and I share. She got more then I expected of clear beautiful photos. I never thought I would have beautiful photos because I HATE taking photos. She made me feel beautiful and like a model. I can not thank you enough for everything!

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 had an elopement at San Francisco City Hall and hired Love Knot Photography to take care of the photos and our social media videos. It was really great to work with someone so talented with a camera. My wife gets nervous when taking pictures and Isaac had a great personality and calm approach that really helped her enjoy the process. I think the photos of candids at the ceremony are so beautifully crafted it really shows how special of a moment it was for us. The portraits of the two of us, as well as my family that was there are really dear. I'm super beyond pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you!!

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

My Husband and I got married April 14th, 2024 and didn't think we'd "need" a Videographer. This was the very last thing we added to our wedding planning.. yes, even after small things like arranging the seating chart, whether we wanted favors, etc. This by far was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. We found Ledd Lens on Zola and inquired about their services about 2 months before the wedding. Usually, couples book videographers at least a year in advance. They asked what our budget was, what we were looking for and came back with 3 options to choose from. The prices were VERY AFFORDABLE and included their TRAVEL to Philadelphia. Having every moment on video to rewatch with our family or just alone is the best feeling after all the planning we did over 13 months. Randall was amazing! He had us choose 3 songs to use in our highlight video, but ended up using 1. The other 2, he chose, and they fit even better than the ones we thought would! He also threw in a few bonus footage as well. Absolutely amazing and professional company to work with. We are so happy!! Thank you Ledd Lens!

Whether it's a big or small celebration, I'm your gal - basically your professional bridesmaid with camera in hand 😉. I love capturing the unique chemistry between couples and ultimately the je ne sais quoi of you. I believe that storytelling makes the world go ‘round, thus it gives me such great joy to be a part of telling yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
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

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements, to hiking engagements, to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York and California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, and candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few awesomely unique shots on top of it all.

Kathryn did an amazing job photographing our wedding! We had an intimate ceremony on a pier on one of the Finger Lakes. I loved that she arrived at the venue early to scout out scenic spots in the park and caught some great candids of our family. She made it so easy for us -- she was ready with lots of suggestions and ideas for shots to capture after the ceremony. We definitely depended on her expertise and I so appreciated her preparation. You can tell that she is truly invested in your special day! She made us feel at ease, which was especially nice because my husband and I are a little camera shy. She has a great sense of humor and she made us laugh through our photo shoot. I highly recommend Kathryn for your wedding photos.

If you're looking for a photographer who will exceed your expectations and deliver timeless, breathtaking photos, look no further than Ashley. Her attention to detail and passion for capturing the perfect shot truly sets her apart. From the beginning, Ashley was a pleasure to work with, making communication effortless and stress-free. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and her creativity and expertise shone through in every frame. She took the time to learn the names of our wedding party and immediate family. It really made them feel important as well as showed her commitment to us having an easy stress-free day! Ashley's ability to capture candid moments is truly remarkable. She has a keen eye for those special, unplanned moments that truly reflect the emotions and atmosphere of our wedding day. Looking through the photos, we were transported back to those heartfelt, joyous moments, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We also had the pleasure of having Ashely do our engagement and welcome party pictures. The smiles, excitement and love were all perfectly captured in pictures we will have forever. Not only did Ashley deliver outstanding candid shots, but her overall quality of work was exceptional. The composition, lighting, and attention to detail in every photograph were simply stunning. The reason for that is due to her incredible work ethic. She was a huge part of our timeline planning to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted from our shot wish list. After shooting a long wedding day, she was able to provide sneak peaks the day after our wedding for us to reminisce the day after! The happy tears remembering how amazing our wedding day was. We can’t say enough about how talented she is! Working with Ashley was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She was professional, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable in front of the camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had been following Jasmine on IG long before I knew I was going to be married. Her photos always really spoke to me and I told myself that if I ever got the chance to book her, I would. In 2019, my (now) husband and I got engaged and immediately I knew I had to contact Jasmine, of course I had to show my husband other photographers too (he is the type that needs to see a few options and prices first) but he also felt that Jasmine was the best! So we went ahead and booked Jasmine for our wedding in October 2020. Fast forward to 2020. The year the pandemic hit the world. We knew in April of 2020 that our wedding would have to be moved, there was no way the pandemic was going to be over. We contacted Jasmine and she was immediately responsive, empathetic and agreed to accommodate our change in wedding date, October 2021 an entire year after our original date. Throughout the time we booked Jasmine to the time of our wedding, Jasmine constantly checked in on us and double checked to make sure we were doing ok with everything going on. She helped nudge/remind us to book our pre-wedding/engagement photos (because I kept forgetting/timing was not working for us), and even reminding us on where we should be in wedding planning. Side note: When we DID finally take our pre wedding photos with Jasmine, I was incredibly nervous on how I would look in photos. I am going to be the first to admit that I am NOT photogenic and am already incredibly awkward in photos. When Jasmine sent us our photos after, I was SO BLOWN AWAY! I knew then, we absolutely made the right decision in booking her. Ok back to our actual wedding! Jasmine helped us with our timeline for the day, and we were able to correlate hers and our wedding venues together. On the actual day, Jasmine made not just myself and husband feel super comfortable in front of the camera, but all our family members and bridal party too. She has an incredible eye for detail and will help with posing/styling etc. We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos and we honestly could not have booked a better photographer. To sum up: Jasmine is thoughtful with the way she approaches everything and is an incredibly talented photographer. Jasmine's style is classic and timeless. I know we will be looking and loving all our photos over and over again. I would book Jasmine again in a heartbeat, and will recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

I mean you managed to capture each important moment on camera in such style and grace. It was so much fun to look through the photos, I must’ve looked at it a hundred times! Thanks for being such a great shooter, you’re seriously a pro at making the shots so easy and fun. We’re so lucky to have you as our engagement shoot photographer!! The app and the website you created was so easy to use, and so beautiful. Everything about our shoot was memorable, thank you so much for the fantastic pictures! We can’t wait to print and post em on our walls 3

Russ was an absolute dream to work with. Fun, friendly, great at sorting all the details beforehand and an absolute star on the day. The photos were stunning – we'd initially questioned whether we would even bother with a photographer, but after working with Russ, I can tell you, it is 200% worth it. Me and my husband have never looked so good in a photo in our lives (and likely never will again...). Russ perfectly balanced being a fly on the wall when it mattered (during the ceremony, etc), with giving us some much needed guidance for fun group shots and portraits. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Book him now!!

I’m telling a story, specifically your story. I’m invested in my couples and want to know them to best document the romance between two people. I’m also direct and loud to get your wild family together for those group shots. My promise is that you’ll leave this experience more in love.

Tylar was so easy going and wonderful to work with. Her work is incredible and we absolutely love her style of photography. We have done 3 shoots with her (including our wedding) and we were so happy with her work each and every time. Highly recommend her and the sweetheart she is.

My husband and I found Jade over a year ago while we were looking for a wedding photographer and her work caught our eye. She was the kindest person ever and so understanding and patient with us and what we were looking for. We loved her work so much that I recommended her to my best friend for her wedding just this past October! She did incredible work with her as well!

Sarah Peterson Photography

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,888
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

Working with Sarah was enjoyable and easy! As someone who usually does not like taking photos, Sarah made the process easy and comfortable. She got all the shots we had discussed in advance and captured every special moment. Her rustic editing style was exactly what I was looking for and really highlighted our flowers, centerpieces, and color scheme. Can't recommend Sarah enough!
