We had the absolute privilege of having Novel Cinema capture our special day. I've got to be honest, we were initially a bit nervous about being in front of the camera, but the team at Novel put us at ease right from the get-go. They have a way of making you feel like you're just hanging out with friends who happen to have cameras! The magic they worked with those cameras though - it's nothing short of amazing! They captured every laugh, every tear, every loving look - and then some. It's like they had a sixth sense for those little moments that make a wedding day so special. Watching our wedding video for the first time was like reliving the day all over again. To all the soon-to-be-wed couples out there, do yourselves a favor and hire Novel. Thank you for giving us a memory that will last a lifetime. You guys rock! Jason and Amanda

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am a wedding photographer! I am obsessed with dogs. I will never not acknowledge a dog near me by saying “puppers”. It is what it is. I would 100% rather be on the beach somewhere with palm trees. I am constantly daydreaming about being in the tropics. I love the color black. If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie is more than just an incredible photographer, friend throughout the entire process. Back in February, I was scrambling to plan a last minute proposal and had spent months looking for someone I could trust. Katie came through in every possible way. Not only did she help me pull off the proposal flawlessly, but she also helped plan the entire experience, from the perfect location to places we could go afterward to celebrate. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made both me and my fiancée feel, especially since I’m not usually very photogenic. She brought such a calm, warm presence to the shoot, and her flexibility and thoughtful suggestions made everything stress free. Katie wasn’t just our photographer, she became a special part of our story. We’re now planning our wedding and genuinely hope to have Katie there not just behind the camera, but as a guest and friend. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond.

Savannah photographed our proposal as well as our wedding and both sets of photos came out so beautiful! She is the sweetest and so fun to work with! Prior to the wedding she took time to talk to me and make sure we were on the same page for how we wanted the photos to feel and look, what poses or types of shots we might have especially wanted etc. (but was also so good about helping direct us if we got in an awkward posing situation!!) and had beautiful ideas for photos that didn’t just look like every single other wedding picture you’ve seen! She also made sure everything for the day of was coordinated with a photo schedule for our first look and things like the family shots which made everything run smooth and was very stress free for everyone involved. She perfectly timed out when and where we would need to be for the best lighting and even before that (since our photos after the ceremony were off site) made sure that location was just right and would work well. She honestly thought of everything and her preparation was obvious in how perfect the photos turned out! Savannah captured the special parts of that busy day but also little things I was too distracted to really soak in, she’s worth every bit!

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible.

My passion lies in crafting personalized events that reflect your unique love story. From intimate ceremonies to grand receptions, I'm dedicated to ensuring every detail is perfect.

Awarded Best of Zola
Good service is typically made up of clear and professional communication, timeliness, organization, foresight, and quality. On all counts, Wei Yuh provided *excellent* service. Technical Review: Her correspondence was always prompt and thorough, hitting every point and flagging items we would not have even thought of. She was also extremely flexible when it came to virtual meetings, accommodating for both of our busy schedule. On many occasions, we met outside of business hours solely out of convenience to *us* as the clients. At no point would we have expected this level of flexibility, but Wei Yuh was consistently there for us--even for ad hoc questions and concerns. Wei Yuh's organization was also exceptional. Every spreadsheet and document was well-sorted and easy to comprehend. She always took the time to walk us through items and reassure us about any concerns. In many instances, Wei Yuh anticipated issues that we would not have ever considered, saving us both trouble and money. In fact, Wei Yuh was always very sensitive to our budget and financial constraints, looking for creative ways to spare our wallet! This is yet another dimension in which her services went above and beyond. For nearly every major component of the planning process, Wei Yuh handled or guided liaising with other vendors. The result felt as if we truly had our "hands off the wheel" while still being fully aware of where the plans were headed. Overall Thoughts: We chose Wei Yuh because she immediately believed in our vision for the wedding. We had some very unorthodox ideas and were completely unsure our day would come together exactly as we wanted it. Writing this a few days after the wedding, we can say with complete confidence that Wei Yuh brought our hopes to life and executed them with precision, professionalism, and care. Throughout the process, including on the day itself, Wei Yuh maintained an energizing presence and clearly put everything she had into the project. We are certain that we could not have achieved our vision without a planner (despite stubbornly believing so in the very beginning!), but more than that, we don't think it would have happened without Wei Yuh specifically.

Hey there! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma + Worldwide! I travel everywhere. I love capturing magical outdoor weddings—whether it’s a dreamy garden, a historic home, a charming winery, or a private estate hidden in the woods (I'm basically the Indiana Jones of weddings). My couples often say how comfortable I make them feel, how I capture the real moments without being intrusive, and how much fun they have during our shoots. I’m obsessed with the details and love when couples pour their hearts into making their wedding day unforgettable.

Wow, just wow! Our experience with Vanessa Montano Photography was nothing short of phenomenal. From the initial consultation to receiving our breathtaking photos, every step was filled with professionalism, creativity, and a touch of magic. They effortlessly blended into our day, becoming an integral part of capturing not just images but emotions. Their talent isn’t just in snapping beautiful pictures; they have an innate ability to capture the essence of a moment, freezing laughter, tears, and all the little details we never want to forget. They made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process, ensuring our personalities shone through each frame. The final photos exceeded our wildest expectations. Each image tells a story, evoking the same emotions we felt on our special day. The quality, composition, and attention to detail are unparalleled. Thank you, Vanessa and team, for immortalizing the most incredible day of our lives. You’re not just a photographer; you’re an artist who beautifully crafts love stories through the lens. We’ll cherish these memories forever and highly recommend you to anyone seeking a photographer who turns moments into masterpieces!

I've been playing sax professionally in all genres of music since age 18 and focused on playing club/dance music with DJs since the mid 2000s. I've performed in clubs and events all over the country. I will add a unique level of performance to your DJ's set that you and your guests will remember for a lifetime.

Our guests are still talking about the amazing entertainment from our wedding, and thanks to Jason we had everyone on the dance floor all night long! He is truly talented, professional and brought the party- we couldn’t imagine having an event without him and DJ Misha again.

Makeup by Nicole was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding! From the initial consultation to the day-of, their communication was amazing - they were responsive, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease. The quality of their work was truly beautiful, long-lasting, and professional. During my trial and on my wedding day, my makeup stayed flawless through everything. Nicole clearly knows exactly what she's doing and is so talented at her craft. On top of that, her wonderful personality was such a bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable. I cannot recommend Makeup by Nicole highly enough - they played a huge role in making me feel my absolute best on my special day!

✨WHY✨ I’m a professional photographer is because I believe that your life has PURPOSE. and a story to be captured & remembered. Life is short, and memories fade… but a photo can last for lifetimes. So, let’s hang out and eat pizza on rooftops or dance on a country road in the headlights! I want to help you make & capture memories of your unique & beautiful life, and slow down for a few minutes to enjoy the moments we're living in NOW! When I'm not working, I love a good book, chasing sunsets on beaches, skiing in the mountains, or watching Parks & Rec for the 8th time! Please email me via my website contact form to connect! ☼ ☼ ☼

I had just so much fun working with Amelia for our wedding. She had been my sister’s photographer a few years ago and we’d since become friends. She was so easy and fun to work with and was so flexible and supportive when our wedding day didn’t go quite as expected (yay Covid)
