From the moment we booked Rebekah Lynne Photo, we knew we were in good hands. Rebekah's communication style was quick and very relatable, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our session, her incredible talent and ability to work with kids was on full display. When my toddler started to lose interest in taking pictures, Rebekah used her expertise to keep her engaged and smiling. We absolutely had the best experience with Rebekah and will be rebooking her soon. She is so sweet and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

Rafael Garcia Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Bakersfield, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,800

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day ! We are so excited to share these photos with our loved ones for generations to come.

Ninety Nine Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Bakersfield, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,500

Yadira is a Bakersfield native that was raised by immigrant parents. She fell in love with love at a young age through art, music, & poetry. From that inspiration, Yadira always wanted to create art with love as the central theme. She began doing photography at the age of 14 and was mentored by local published and award winning photographers for 3 years. By the age of 17, she moved to North Hollywood where she was taught and mentored by high end fashion photographers who worked for Vogue, Vanity Fair, Style Magazine, Elle, and more.

Yadira is a great photographer! Not only does she capture special, candid moments beautifully, she also helps you feel comfortable and natural in the posed pictures! She has now become my family portrait photographer since shooting my wedding and I have to say I do not regret my decision to have her capture my wedding day!

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

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
From the moment we booked Fox & Fig Photography for our wedding, their communication was phenomenal and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Their work is simply gorgeous - exactly the style we were looking for to capture our special day. On the wedding day, they made both my husband and I feel at ease, even though we are a bit awkward in front of the camera. They provided excellent guidance on posing and helped us look our best. Fox & Fig was incredibly supportive and patient with us as a nervous couple. We are thrilled with the sneak peeks of our photos and can’t wait for the whole product! I can NOT recommend Fox & Fig enough.

I don’t even know where to begin—ConneryFilm exceeded every expectation we had. From the first email to the final delivery of our wedding photos, everything was handled with so much care, professionalism, and heart. Connery has an incredible gift for turning real-life moments into cinematic memories. What really impressed us was how he paid attention to the little things—a subtle look, a soft smile, a quick laugh—things we didn’t even realize he had caught until we saw the final photos. And let me just say, the editing was flawless. The tones, the lighting, the composition... every image looked like it belonged in a magazine. Beyond the artistry, Connery was just amazing to work with—friendly, responsive, and calm under pressure. He made us feel comfortable and at ease and somehow made the whole experience feel effortless. If you’re lucky enough to book him, do it. You’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re investing in memories that will bring tears to your eyes for years to come. ConneryFilm is truly one of a kind.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Southwest Productions Photography for our wedding. Kin was our photographer, and he was outstanding. Not only was he punctual, he was genuinely one of the nicest, most easygoing people we worked with the entire day. Super friendly, great energy, and just made everything feel effortless. He drove two hours to get to our venue and showed up with a smile on his face like it was nothing. That kind of attitude makes a huge difference on a wedding day, it honestly took a lot of stress off us. On top of that, his photography was amazing. He knew exactly what he was doing, guided us when we needed it, and captured everything without making it feel staged or awkward. He went above and beyond in every way. We seriously cannot say enough good things about Kin or the experience as a whole. Just got the photos back and they look perfect.

Lovelee Photos 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Bakersfield, CA

We began our business in Scottsdale, in 2009 and in that time we have worked with hundreds of amazing couples. We had a poor experience with our own wedding photography and it was devastating - it was then that we knew that we needed to enhance the options available to couples like you! Our passion for our work goes beyond a love for photography and an eye for the details because the most precious thing we could ask for is to be part of two peoples special day. When you are involved in someone’s wedding you get to know them, their families, why they love one another, and that bond is important to us every single time.

We’re so glad we chose Lovelee Photography for our wedding. From the start, everything felt easy and well organized, which took a lot of stress off our plates. Travis was always quick to respond and genuinely cared about understanding what was important to us. He helped us put together a realistic timeline, gave helpful advice about lighting and locations around Phoenix, and made sure we felt comfortable and prepared instead of rushed or overwhelmed. On the wedding day, he was calm and confident, which honestly made a big difference. Family photos were handled efficiently without feeling stiff, portraits felt natural, and he captured so many moments we didn’t even realize were happening. It allowed us to stay present and actually enjoy the day. When we got our gallery back, we were really impressed by how consistent and thoughtful the photos were. The images feel timeless and emotional without being overly posed, and the attention to detail shows throughout. We’re also including photos from our wedding with this review because they really speak for themselves. If you want a photographer who’s professional, easy to work with, and genuinely talented, we highly recommend Lovelee Photography.

I'm generally a bit camera shy and don't do photshoots. My then girlfriend (now wife) scheduled a photoshoot in the woods and snow, I was expecting it be to boring and awkward, like "stand here, great, now stand here". Instead I ended up having a blast. The photographer is really easy going and helped make the atmosphere very fun and the final results are used as background on our phones because of great they came out. We booked them again for our wedding shoot because they are that great to work with. I wouldn't be surprised if their prices would go up in the near future because word of photographers like these spread fast and I have no doubt they will be booked months in advance. That's how I feel working with these people, they are great, highly recommend.

Weddings are rare opportunities to create meaning and magic for ourselves and the people we love, and that belief sits at the heart of my work. I take a holistic approach, starting with who you are and what you value, then helping shape a day that feels as beautiful as it looks, in whatever way is right for you. While photography is my focus, my background includes planning, coordination, and officiation, giving me a deep understanding of how weddings truly unfold. This perspective enhances every style of wedding, from timeless traditions to thoughtfully non-traditional celebrations.

Hiring Erin as our engagement and wedding photographer was the best decision I made (aside from my groom, of course!). I can’t begin to describe the care with which she approach every conversation and every detail. We worked together for months before the big day to refine decor and ensure that my vision came to life. And even with all that time and effort, the end result was better than I could’ve ever imagined. Erin will feel like part of the family, blending in with your loved ones, eliciting genuine smiles and laughter, and perfectly capturing the love that reverberates through the room. And as incredibly talented as she is behind the lens, she is an even better human being. Stop searching - if you’re reading this, you have found the wedding photographer of your dreams.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it.

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

We had an amazing time working with Shawn and Breanna at our wedding. They were friendly, had good ideas for shots, and were determined to get good emotional shots throughout the day. Couldn't have asked for better people to work with us on our wedding day.

I'm a fine art wedding photographer based in Northern California and beyond. After discovering my love for photography, I always knew I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. I am so fortunate to call this my job for over five years! My photography work often describe as romantic, soft, bright and natural that lend itself from my love of film look and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two Tabbies. I would absolutely love to get to know you and be your photographer!

Ditto is an absolute dream to work with and I am so happy we went with him as our wedding photographer. My husband and I are awkward and stiff in front of cameras, but Ditto made us feel right at ease. He gave us gentle guidance with poses, helped us relax, and chose some of the most beautiful spots for photos. We adored our engagement photos but our shots from our wedding absolutely stunned us - we could not believe how gorgeous everything turned out! If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, easy to work with, quick with their edits and final photos, you have to go with Ditto. Thank you so much for capturing our best moments, and we can't wait to work with you again soon.
