We sent inspo on what we wanted for our engagement shoot and shared what our vision was for our wedding. He captured it all perfectly! We chose to do our engagement shoot at The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. Oleg was on time and made the experience so much fun. I am very camera shy but he made us both feel very comfortable and captured candid moments of us purely having fun. On our wedding day, Oleg and his team arrived and conquered it all! They were a joy to work with and soooo organized. They created a 1-min movie-quality video for us the next day and returned some photos as a sneak-peek.

Hi! My name is Laura & I'm so happy you are here reading this little bio because it means we just might be a great match! (WooHoo:) Quick 411 on me:) I've been married now for over 26 years & counting! My hubby Guy and I were both born and raised in Southern Ca. but met in Utah at a Sundance work Christmas party and even though it wasn't love at first sight, it was pretty darn close🖤 We have 3 beautiful kids and a handsome son in-law! Something unexpected about me (for most people:) is that I'm a new "chicken mom" my kids think I've lost it, but really they have just been replaced is all haha-I'm kind of obsessed with them! Haha:)

Laura is amazing. We booked her and her daughter, Rio, for our elopement in Zion National Park. It was just my husband and I so we really wanted someone to capture every moment so we could share it with our family. She did just that. Every picture still takes my breath away, a year later. She is so sweet and we love that we have been able to keep in contact since our elopement. Absolutely hire her for any event, portraits, etc.

Costa Mesa, CA
  • Editorial style

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. 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. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

Steve did our engagement photos, family photos, tea ceremony photos, and wedding photos for us. He makes you feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera and the photo results show it.

Hi we're so glad you're here, Hello I'm Nardia and my husband's name is Dan. We are a husband + wife photo + video team and we love capturing the adventure and intimacy that we find in real relationships.

Foolishly Rushing In was an absolute dream to work with. We worked with them to capture both our engagement and wedding day. No matter how awkward you may feel in front of a camera, they somehow capture your love in such a pure and honest form. If you are very particular about color grading, you'd be happy to know that theirs is consistent and just gorgeous throughout! We loved how the end result wasn't too "posey," but looked natural and candid. Their films are incredible works of art, going in perfect sync with music to create such a gorgeous product. It was such a joy to work with them and we continue recommending them to everyone we know!

Nick Cruz Photography, LLC

5.0

Costa Mesa, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. 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.)

Thank you for stopping by my website! My name is Yuki, and I am a photographer based in Southern California. Since I was little, I've had a camera in my hands wherever I go, and it has been my passion to photograph unforgettable moments. My influence came from my father who is a semi-pro photographer and videographer in Japan, and his journalistic photography style encouraged me to anticipate the moments and capture natural impressions. The moments I capture become the past, but what inspires me is seeing people’s reactions to the photographs I take. It is my hope that these moments become timeless. Often clients tell me that having a photo can bring back the feelings and memories of that moment, which is why I launched Yukipix Photography, LLC.

I’m Adam—a Boston native who’s now roaming around California photographing everything I see. When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks. I got my first film camera when I was 8, and it was love at first sight. Capturing your story is more than just a job for me. From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Adam on Instagram through some friends who were recently engaged, reached out, and heard back right away. Of all the photographers I looked at, he was among the most cost effective, and immediately after our engagement session I knew I'd made the right choice. He wasn't afraid to do anything with us from coffee meet ups, to phone calls and emails answering all my questions, traveling for our engagement pics, and even carrying around my veil and making sure my makeup stayed touched up. He was so passionate about making my day, my vision, what I wanted it to be. I was also worried being a plus-sized bride that I wouldn't be comfortable in front of the camera or that all the angles would be unflattering, but I've never felt more like a model. Adam made us feel so comfortable in our skin. Go book book him. Really. For headshots, for engagement photos, for wedding photos, dog photos, life photos. Whatever you want, he's got you

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephen was more than a photographer, he basically helped me plan my elopement. He talked me through the pros and cons of various locations, and helped me think through the process of obtaining a license for photography. He took time to understand that we were striving for a simple, but intimate wedding; he was patient with our cranky 2 year old; and endlessly gracious with our elderly parents who were along for the ride. Importantly, my husband and I are terrible at being photographed (we are awkward) and Stephen made us feel at ease with our surroundings. I would hire Stephen again in a heartbeat.

My approach to wedding photography is one part editorial and one part sentimental candids. I want to capture all the details you have chosen to have on your wedding day and all the guests you have invited to share this moment. You will have a fun & joyful experience and receive natural-looking, artful photos that look like they belong in a magazine. My edit is a bright, true-to-color crisp edit. I care deeply about skin tones looking true to life, and my edit is centered around that.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Ashley enough! We were introduced to Ashley through our wedding planner, and from the moment we met her, we instantly loved her! Our engagement shoot in North Lake Tahoe was a fantastic experience. Ashley helped us find the perfect location at the Palisades, which was exactly the scenery we wanted. We wanted to include our dog in our engagement photos and she captured his personality perfectly as well. It felt like we were working with a close friend the whole time. We're not used to having our pictures taken and were a little nervous at first, but Ashley made the process feel so natural and easy. We really enjoyed the entire experience and the photos came out perfectly candid, capturing our personalities so well. On our wedding day, Ashley and her team were a dream to work with. We got all the pictures we wanted with our family and friends without it feeling overwhelming or time-consuming. She kept everything fun and made us laugh, which we really appreciated. She delivered our sneak peak only after a couple days! The photos are light, airy, and exactly what we envisioned. We couldn't be happier or more grateful to Ashley for perfectly capturing our special day. Her work is stunning and we are so happy we worked with her. Thank you for everything Ashley!!

Brittney is EVERYTHING. She shot my sister’s shore wedding and delivered such gorgeous photos, we knew we needed her for our wedding! We were married in Punta Cana and Brittney made all the photography/destination logistics SO EASY. Looking at our photos, you would have no idea that Brittney only saw the location the day before our wedding. She captured the beach location perfectly. But where Brittney truly sets herself apart from other photographers is in her ability to capture candid moments. Looking through our wedding album is so emotional because the photos perfectly reflect how everyone was feeling throughout the day. And finally, I cannot write a review that captures her skill without mentioning her as a person. Brittney is kind, fun, and sensitive. She has such a calm presence during your wedding that she disappears into the background (this is how she is able to capture so many candid moments). Since my wedding, she has continued to be a thoughtful friend who is always down for a coffee date. I love Brittney. Hiring her was the single most important decision I made for my wedding!

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

We couldn't have had a better photographer than Adrianna. She absolutely nailed it with our wedding photos! We don't take ourselves too seriously and wanted our wedding pictures to reflect that, and she didn't disappoint. Our wedding teasers definitely felt like us rather than being super posed and dressed up versions of ourselves. All the photos felt like they captured exactly who we are as a couple. Not only did Adrianna take amazing photos, but she was like our personal wedding hero, making sure everything ran smooth. Our reception was a little chaotic since it was raining, and she took all our stress away with her thoughtful ideas. We thought she was reading our minds because everytime we were stressed or overwhelmed, she backed us up and helped us sneak out to take breaks. If we even mentioned something we weren't fans of, it was taken care of quickly and quietly. She seriously saved our butts more times than we could count. Throughout the whole day she was thoughtful, intuitive, non-judgmental, and so nice. We may have just met her on thr wedding day, but we were treated like she'd known us forever. We were worried it'd be weird to have someone following us around with a camera who we didn't know to well and it was the exact opposite with her! Long story short, if you want someone who's not just going take your photos but also make your wedding day feel like a breeze, Adrianna is your person.

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Her turn around time for images is like no other. The generosity of what she pours into her craft and service is admirable! Kristina is both professional and playful which clients love and trust!

We chose the Half day session photo coverage, which includes your engagement session! I thought that was super helpful and convenient because the package the engagement session and wedding day photos are lumped into one. The engagement session was amazing! We went to the seven magic mountains and Lake las Vegas at 5 am. They did everything they could and more to make me and my fiance comfortable. We knew that our wedding day photos were going to be epic! Fast forward to Wedding day, August 2020, Jessie was very understanding and accommodating to changing my wedding date. I had to change my date due to COVID, as I am sure many Brides have had to do. The Emerics are very flexible. Do not be afraid to book as if things change, you can always reach out and they will accommodate. Wedding day comes, and oh man. It was Majestic!!!!!!!! It was a dream. I was late thanks to my Lyft and other things.....but the Emerics made sure to keep me, my bridal party, and family ON SCHEDULE. They are also Spanish speaking!! Which is what I needed for my family. They make sure to ask what is important to you as far as photos, and what shots to get. The day of, they never leave your side. I felt 100% total confidence in them that day, and trust me, I am one of those OCD brides who needed to be in control of everything!!! But with them, I let go. Overall it was amazing. I highly recommend them not just for the beautiful photos, but for the experience. It was intimate, supportive and genuinely caring.

When I saw our photo gallery, I was reliving the wedding day each step of the way. Sam's super professional, organize, creative, and easy to work with. I will book her for my maternity shoot!

Serving the Southwest region including Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and California, we are ready to capture your moments and provide you with professional videography and photography services that will leave you breathless

We are so glad we found Jazz for our elopement photography in Vegas. After initial enquiry and chat over email, Jazz arranged a Zoom call so that we could 'meet' her, which we really valued as it was so important we picked someone we truly vibed with, especially as we had no family or friends joining us so photos were all we would have to share with them. Jazz did an amazing job of capturing us and the Vegas vibes we really wanted. Her photography style really suited our colourful aesthetic without being too harsh or vibrant, exactly what we were after. Jazz kept things fun and light, she had hilarious tactics to make us laugh at the right moments (required for two awkward Brits like us haha) and she chose excellent photography spots based on our mood board. We couldn't recommend Jazz more!

I have traveled and photographed weddings and engagement shoots all over the country including internationally. I still get nervous before every wedding I photograph. If I didn’t have nervous tension, I probably would have lost the drive and passion for what I love doing the most. The reason for my love of wedding photography is simple: I love spending the day with brides and grooms creating wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. I hunt for moments that cannot be recreated or relived. I love capturing the raw emotion of a wedding day. I want to be the best not only for myself but especially for my clients.

We highly recommend hiring Pete for your wedding day! A great experience from phone consult all the way to the delivery of photos and videos. Pete was super easy to talk to and very thorough in discussing the process and what to expect on the wedding day. He helped talk me through a good rough day-of timeline on the phone as well. On the day of him and his team were promptly on time, professional, and super fun to work with! The bridal party all had great things to say and his organization and professionalism ensured that the day flowed smoothly (and also made me feel super relaxed and easy going about things). Pete was flexible when timing was running behind (on our end) and made it work where we still got in the photos we needed to. He also was super great about fixing my dress for photos so that it would look great. His crew was super fun and it was an overall great experience. Captured so many little moments that were special and significant! I have nothing but positive things to say and would definitely hire him again in the future and highly recommend you do too! After the wedding he got photos back to us quickly and worked with me to make sure we liked the content and music of the highlight video. He was available to answer any questions I had and is just a great dude in general, everyone really liked him and several people came up to me to say that the photographer and team were awesome! Thank you Pete! So glad we worked together and we wish you all the success and good things in life!

I believe that love inspires art. Your wedding day will most likely be a blur of joy, nerves, and excitement with some extraordinary moments in between. Using both film and digital mediums, I balance a combination of both editorial and photojournalistic styles with a fine art approach. This collaboration will allow you both to fully enjoy each and every moment, as we tell the story of your wedding day. Wedding photography is an investment that lasts a lifetime, it’s the part of your wedding day that lives on. This is your love story, told in a classic, authentic, and timeless way.

Vanessa has an amazing eye and her work is gorgeous. She's creative, easy to work with, and has an attention to detail that's hard to beat. I couldn't be happier that I had the opportunity to work with her. I highly recommend Vanessa Rose Photography.

Jami was our wedding photographer during a post-pandemic time when all wedding vendors are completely overwhelmed. And yet whenever I connected with Jami, I felt like I was receiving her full and direct attention. My husband and I are not the most natural in front of the camera, so it was very important to us to have someone that could make us feel comfortable and come out of our shells and Jami exceeded those expectations. Her vibes and energy are unmatched. Shooting with her and having her present on our big day was a blast and simultaneously the calming energy needed to re-center and focus on each other. I will without a doubt be recommending Jami to everyone I know, as well as continuing to use her for any future life milestones.

Hanna Walkowaik is a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles, California, frequenting Chicago & NYC, traveling all around the world to capture love.

She mixes editorial and documentary styles to not only give you beautiful portraits and captured memories but artistic images to hang in your home. With a Bachelor of Arts degree in photography her approach is artistic, purposeful and technically skillful.

Hanna is truly exceptional! We could not have asked for a better person to capture our wedding day. When my now-husband and I first started searching for wedding photographers, we were drawn to Hanna for her immensely beautiful and versatile portfolio. We spoke over Zoom and felt immediately comfortable with her — she has such a calming presence, made us feel like we had been friends forever, and assured us that she would help our vision come to life. We didn’t have much photography knowledge — we knew we wanted to take some shots in a nature setting like a park, and that we wanted someone who could capture color, as our venue had a specific aesthetic with green and blue walls. Hanna provided the most wonderful guidance for our photos and our day — she scouted many locations around our venue for our wedding portraits, taking into account the proximity and the nature setting we wanted. When we picked one, Hanna went to the spot the week before at the exact time we’d be there, so she would know the specific lighting and locations that would best fit. She also, months in advance, made a timeline for us to help guide the day and ensure that we had a schedule to keep everything on track. This was SO helpful and made the day so much smoother. On the day of our wedding, Hanna couldn’t have been more magnificent. She made us feel so at ease, which was paramount on a day that had so many heightened emotions. We aren’t used to working with professional photographers and were initially nervous that we would feel awkward, but Hanna truly made us feel so calm, comfortable, and joyous. She made the entire experience SO fun, and multiple of our wedding guests commented on how kind she was to them. Now the photos…the PHOTOS. Within a week of our wedding Hanna sent us our sneak peeks — about 160 of them, which is far beyond what we expected. They are stunning. Truly, stunning. She has sent us a gorgeous mix of color, black and white, and film. Our wedding day felt like such a whirlwind and Hanna captured all the emotions and all the moments in ways that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I can’t look at them without being transported back to that day and the specific happenings — from our first look to our first dance — and feeling so overcome with happiness. I can’t choose a favorite because they are all stunning (and all our friends and family keep telling us with how much they love our photos). I’m especially appreciative of Hanna scouting a spot right near our getting ready spot that we hadn’t seen before that looks like a forest, and having us pose there for truly magical pictures. We also have some night shots and some photos from the bar area at our venue that look so editorial and glamorous that I can’t believe it’s us. Trust me, work with Hanna and follow her guidance. She leads with thoughtfulness and intention and it shows. You will get to know a terrifically talented and kind person and your wedding photos will not only be aesthetically marvelous, but you will feel like you get to relive your wedding day every time you look at them. Hanna is THE BEST and we are so grateful to have had the honor of working with her.

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (over 2 years after my engagement photos were taken) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Betsy all the love and praise she deserves. Betsy photographed our engagement photos and would have done our wedding as well if she wasn’t already booked. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Betsy previously and she was always so fun, easy to work with and matched my energy on every level! She gets so excited when she knows she is ‘getting the shot’ that you can’t help but get excited too. I had a very specific vision for our engagement photos and she was 100% on board to make it happen. I love the photos so much and will treasure them forever as they document a very exciting time in our lives. I absolutely love working with Betsy and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

I am honored that you have made it here and are taking the time to look around to see exactly what I have to offer; from wedding photography to elopements, to couple sessions, or anything else you feel the need that deserves to be documented! My heart is extremely full at the fact that I get to wake up everyday and call this my job! I’m a Nashville wedding photographer with a big passion for travel.

Saul is beyond amazing to work with and genuinely great company during the photoshoot. He makes the shoot feel so natural and effortless. We absolutely love our photos. Our jaw dropped when we saw our couples session photos. They look like shots out of a movie scene! It means so much to us that we could have our special moments captured so perfectly for us to keep forever.

As a child all, I can remember was carrying around one of those Fujifilm cameras and taking photos of family and friends. I always really liked taking photos and having those memories to look back on. Fast forward to 2017, I decided to take my hobby of photography seriously. I learned the ins and outs of photography, learned how to run a successful business, and learned the proper camera settings all on my own. Here I am years later running my business full time and I love what I do. I live and breathe photography. I know this is what I am meant to be doing.

We first booked Sheila for our engagement photos and knew instantly we picked the right person. Her bubbly personality made her incredibly easy to work with and she always did whatever she needed to do to get the best shots. Our engagement and wedding pictures were stunning and we got nothing but compliments from family and friends about her as a photographer and her pictures. We were a bit worried about who to book with and who would be lgbt friendly but Sheila was perfect! We would recommend her to anyone. I can’t stop looking at her photos of our wedding!

I’m so glad you’re here! I’m the Founder and Creative Director of Vision infinie Photography.

True Nikon user with over a decade of experience in the photography industry, also graduated with Baccalaureate in Photography from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Diploma in Photography from CEPT School of Architecture and Design, India.

Stavan was an amazing photographer for my wife and I. He was so responsive throughout the process, and we planned our wedding for over 9 months in the middle of a pandemic, so there was need for LOTS of communication! Stavan and his assistant were unbelievably professional. He took incredible photos and got them back to us before we even finished our honeymoon! We would highly recommend Stavan for any project or photography need. He was a pleasure to work with, and the finished project was better than we could have ever expected!

Hi There! I’m Stephanie, your photographer! I like to say that I am a woman of many angles. I am a Wife, Mother, Anything Vintage Collector, and DIY Queen! Just like you I couldn’t see my life without my other half, my soul mate. We started this business with an obsession and appreciation for vintage trailers! We converted our 1969 Scotty trailer into a Photo Booth and have kept dreaming along the way into wedding photography. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to be here along with my husband Cody to share in your special day, but most importantly capture all of the heart bursting, eye watering moments!

Canned Close Up is such a talented husband wife team! The quality of their work is incredible, and they were so easy to work with day-of. We love recommending them to our clients, and hope to work with them again soon!

NOT AN IMAGE OF PERFECTION. PROOF OF PRESENCE. I feel strongly that everyone can and should feel beautiful. I hate the idea that some are photogenic and others are not. Helping you feel like your truest and most beautiful self in your photos isn’t just something I do for a job - I do it because everyone deserves images that make them feel that way. It’s my privilege to preserve the beauty of your humanity. ALSO you're in love! You're fun! You're investing a lot, so it shouldn't feel like a chore or checklist item in your story. It should feel like playing dress up with your best friend and a random lady that is nice to you (me).

I can't shut up about Rachel. She is confident, diligent and personable. The effortless cues and small adjustments and suggestions she makes while shooting never leave you thinking "What should I do now?". I recommend her to absolute everybody.

Hi I'm Liz, the principal photographer for Third Strand Photography! My favorite part of working in this industry is being invited into the most sacred moments of our client's lives. Year after year I am blessed to work with the best couples! Based out of San Diego, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't look for new ways to document the beauty around me. After college, I married the love of my life, David. We began to see the lasting value that photography provides, and in 2012 we started our own studio... we've never looked back! We couldn't be more thankful for the places & for the joy that photography has brought us!
