Carlos took both our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Not only did he perfectly capture the moments we had discussed, he also has such a great eye for encapsulating the quite, loud, and sweet candid moments too. Not to mention, he has been so responsive and had such a fast turnaround time! We would highly recommend working with Carlos! And in case my review isn't enough to help you make your decision, here are some actual quotes from our wedding party when we shares the online album: "They took sooo many too like this is the most comprehensive wedding album I’ve ever seen” and “I can’t believe how good this is” and “This looks like it’s straight out of a movie scene ”

  • Serves Aptos, CA

Michelle Alexandra is a wedding and editorial photographer based in Monterey, Ca and has traveled across the US to capture some of the most beautiful love stories and fashion editorials. Michelle is passionate about creating imagery that is authentic, emotional, and timeless. With a love for fashion and editorial imagery, Michelle has become know for her unique take on wedding photography. You can see it in her compositions, her use of lighting and the way she captures her subjects. Her work has been published in magazines such as People, Marie Claire, Elle, Dare Magazine and most recently Harper's Bazaar.

There are so many things I loved about working with Michelle. She is a super easygoing person and has a calming demeanor that made us feel really comfortable when taking our photos. She was on top of her stuff; always prepared and even going above and beyond like traveling to shooting locations and showing up early to capture photos, like during our welcome pool party, that weren’t even included in our contract. She is extremely talented; her shooting and editing style is perfect in my opinion for wedding photos - soft, clean, and timeless that will never go out of style. And she is just a lovely person in general. Let her work speak louder than these words though - seriously, just check out her website or instagram photos and you will see what I mean. With both our engagement and wedding photos, we were overwhelmed with how many we loved which made choosing which to share and print so hard! That’s definitely a problem you want to have :) Thank you so so much for everything, Michelle. We loved working with you and appreciate everything you did for us more than we can ever say! These photos will be a constant reminder of the love and fun we felt throughout our engagement period and wedding. If we could get married again and start all over, we would do it without hesitation and would choose to work with you every single time.

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.

From the moment we met Isaac, we knew we were in the best hands. He has an incredibly calming presence and a natural way of making you feel comfortable, which meant we were able to be fully present on our wedding day. Our Sonoma farm wedding unfolded with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception, followed by music and festivities in the barn. Isaac captured every moment with such artistry and intention. The images feel effortless yet elevated as every frame tells a story, from quiet, emotional moments to the joy and movement of our guests celebrating into the night. The photographs from our first dance in the barn truly took our breath away. The way Isaac used the natural light, textures of the wood, and atmosphere of the space made the images feel cinematic and timeless. Working with Isaac was seamless, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day exactly as it felt. The images are beautiful, emotional, and full of life. We are endlessly grateful for his vision and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dreaming of a wedding that feels both authentic and artfully captured.

I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life!

Hi! My name is Bailey and I am the owner of Baileaves Photography. I am a travel and destination wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I travel all over the world to create timeless cinematic images of couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé and I are getting married in May 2026 and are both pretty camera shy. We knew we wanted to get professional engagement and wedding photos done, but were nervous they would feel inauthentic. When we found Bailey’s page we were so excited about how she captured genuine joy from her couples in some of our favorite natural wonders in Oregon, which put us at ease going into our first conversation with her. Right out of the gate Bailey was incredible helping us feel comfortable with her, giving us resources to help guide our location outfit choices, and making us feel confident that we weren’t going to regret this decision. On the day of our engagement shoot, Bailey showed up at sunrise with us on the Oregon coast and ran around the beach for over 3 hours with us because the lighting kept shifting in such incredible ways through the clouds. Not only that, but she went above and beyond wrangling our dogs while we got some couple shots followed by some with the pups in some truly special family shots we will certainly be hanging up in the house. We had the best time with Bailey and the engagement photos she delivered were beyond anything we could have imagined. The way she captures the little smiles and moments between loved ones is unmatched, and her attention to lighting nuance and details of the natural area you’re in make her photos that much more special. We ended up using some of her photos for our invites and website, but are most excited to frame some for the house to remember forever. We can’t wait to have her as our wedding photographer and couldn’t recommend her enough for anyone looking!

Every detail of your wedding day is your dream come true. A part of your imagination , your artistry, your sense of beauty in life. The perfect day coming to life. Your wedding photos are a product of my artistry. The beauty I see in your story, is the beauty of life. The decision you make - to spend the rest of your life and cherish the person you chose is a proof of life filled with love. This is the story that shows the world that love is all powerful. This is the story I’ll be there to document.
