Compare Pasadena wedding photographers capturing golden hour light against the Rose Bowl backdrop

Wedding photographers in Pasadena know how to hold onto a day so it feels the way it actually did: golden, unhurried, full of small glances between the big moments. Some work in candid, documentary style, catching laughter mid-toast, while others lean timeless and classic, framing portraits with quiet formality. From the rose-covered arches of the Huntington Library to the sunlit lawns near the Rose Bowl, this city offers a warm, filmic light that photographers use beautifully, whether they're chasing bright editorial color or soft, romantic tones. Pasadena's architecture and gardens give every image a sense of place, not just a backdrop. Browse portfolios to find the eye that matches how you want your day remembered.

Over time, a pattern reveals itself among the people who reach out to me. They want someone who produces a timeless look they could've enjoyed fifty years ago or fifty years from today. This is reflected in my editing as well as my photojournalistic eye for real moments. They want someone who isn't afraid of low light. All of my lighting skills are derived from awareness of natural light. Any flash should not distract or erase the original mood of a scene. As mentioned prior, lastly, they want someone who is relatable and easy to get along with. If we're spending a full day together, great conversation and humor pay dividends!

Hi, my name's Alyssa. I'm a 27-year-old Fashion, Wedding + Engagement Photographer in Los Angeles. Originally from the Central Valley of California, I moved to SoCal and earned a degree in Commercial Photography. While I specialize in capturing organic candid moments, my career as a full-time fashion photographer helps me add a touch of vogue-like flair while working with my couples (I can't help myself - I want to give you some Pinterest-worthy photos!) Serving the Southern California area, I have 8+ years of weddings under my belt and look forward to capturing many more for years to come.

Why weddings? I strongly believe love is one of the best gifts from God. There are many important things in life, but at the end of the day: who you go home to and who fills your cup is what you will remember. I love doing weddings and engagements because of the relationships I build with people. I get to know them and tell their love story through beautiful pictures. At weddings I am there to help you enjoy your day and capture all the love between you and your spouse, friends, and family. I love getting a glimpse into the personal lives of people, hearing the speeches and funny stories, and helping you feel confident and beautiful!

The Hendrys

Pasadena, CA

Our style is pretty non-traditional and rather offbeat, and our approach to shooting is simple; we’ll keep it mostly documentary (you can’t beat a good caught-off-guard expression), capture the action as it unfolds throughout the day, avoid cheesy clichés, and let everyone have good ol’ knees up without much interference from us. There will of course be slight direction here and there, but if you don’t dig throwing each other around and piggy back rides and all that mushy jazz, that won’t be on the menu.
