I started shooting photos and video in Greece, and since moving to the US, I have dedicated myself to shooting weddings, elopements and engagements. I love being able to capture the love that my couples have for each other and the unique energy each couple has. I am always down to shoot in new locations and find the best place for my shoots!

Enea and Hayley are truly exceptional. From our engagement shoot to the big day, they went above and beyond to capture every moment with heart, artistry, and professionalism. Enea photographed our wedding while Hayley worked her magic on video—and together, they delivered memories we will treasure forever. Our photos are absolutely stunning, and the video trailer full ceremony edit brought us to tears (in the best way!). They took the time to get to know us, making everything feel personal and natural. Not only are they incredibly talented and creative, but they’re also fun, dependable, and a joy to be around. They brought a calming energy, kept things on schedule, and even added a drone to the mix—giving us breathtaking aerial shots we didn’t even know we needed! They both have such a natural eye for detail and storytelling. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Truly, we cannot recommend Enea and Hayley enough. If you’re lucky enough to have the chance to work with them, do it. You’ll be so glad you did.

Loes Takes Clips 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Berkeley, CA

I'm a photographer who loves, love and being able to share that through my lens is what drives everything I do. I have a deep adoration for storytelling and capturing the authentic, unscripted moments that matter most. I believe every love story is unique, and my goal is to bring excitement, ease, and a calming presence to your most important day. With a passion for preserving real emotions and meaningful memories, I aim to capture photographs that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

Logan has been a good friend of mine for years, so asking her to photograph our engagement shoot was a no-brainer for me. Her natural ability to bring any vision to life, mixed with her unwavering work ethic, is what sets her apart. I can tell her one idea I have, and she will effortlessly create something better than I could have ever imagined. We have a 1965 Corvette in our family that I thought would be cool to use as part of our shoot. I trusted her to tell us where and how we could incorporate it, and she brought our vision to life. She goes above and beyond, even standing in the middle of the road in Carmel-by-the-Sea as cars try to pass, to bring that vision to life. Also, we are far from naturals in front of the camera. I always rely on Logan to give us ideas for how to create movement and relax. Working with someone so kind and able to make you feel comfortable is crucial, because it not only creates an outcome you will love, but you will have fun doing so as well.

Ivan Duran Photo

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,000

I am an award-winning photographer based in San Francisco and the Bay Area. I was born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico. As a kid, I loved painting & drawing just as much as I loved taking apart wrist watches and fixing car radios. It wasn't until I picked up a camera as a teenager that I found an activity that combined my artistic sensibilities with my love of technical challenges. Photography has been my passion ever since. I bring a happy, relaxed energy to every job I shoot. In general, I'm more of a listener than a talker. When I'm not taking pictures, you'll find me salsa dancing, or playing ukulele very badly, though joyfully!

Ivan Duran is an outstanding photographer. His talent and creativity shine through in every shot. Ivan made us feel comfortable, capturing natural and candid moments effortlessly. The final images were beautifully composed and edited, exceeding our expectations. If you need a photographer who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Ivan Duran Photography.

  • Serves Berkeley, CA

I’m Adam Clark, a Livermore-based photographer capturing weddings with authenticity and heart. I love documenting real moments—the laughter, the tears, the joy—so couples can relive their day for years to come. My approach is a mix of candid storytelling and beautiful, timeless portraits. Every wedding is unique, and I’m passionate about creating images that reflect your story, personalities, and love in a way that feels natural and unforgettable.

Adam is so much more than a wedding photographer. From the very beginning, he became a meaningful part of our entire wedding experience, not just someone there to take pictures. He brought a calm presence, a thoughtful eye, and an incredible ability to be in the right place at exactly the right moment. What sets Adam apart is how deeply he understands people. He didn’t just capture images, he captured emotion. The joy, the love, the quiet in-between moments, and the beauty of the day were all honored in a way that feels authentic and timeless. Every photo tells a story, and together they reflect the heart of my daughter’s wedding in the most beautiful way possible. As a parent, I cannot overstate how much it meant to know those moments were being cared for with such intention. Adam elevated the day simply by being part of it. If you are looking for someone who will truly see you, your people, and your story, Adam is that person. We are forever grateful for the memories he preserved for our family.

We greatly appreciated how much she wanted to know us and our personalities in advance of our wedding day. We ended every zoom call or email exchange feeling confident in our decision to work with her. The weather on our wedding day wasn’t very cooperative, but Jenna and team were on the lookout for any break in the rain so that we could go up to the roof and get a few pictures. And she totally nailed them—they are some of our favorite pictures from the day. Jenna and team made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and also captured some incredible candids. If you’re looking for a fun, positive, and easy-to-work with photographer—Jenna is the right pick!

I’m Cherlyn (rhymes with Berlin). So nice to e-meet you! If we met in person and it wasn’t during a pandemic- I would probably hug you! I’m an introvert-extrovert and tend to ramble too much when I get nervous. In emails - I tend to use exclamation points a lot!! (and will agonize over my drafts of emails before sending them because they probably have one too many!!) My aim as your photographer is to provide a memorable experience where you two feel comfortable, taken care of, and get to fully enjoy your wedding day as much as possible with all your guests & loved ones - whether they be in real life or via livestream!

Awarded Best of Zola
Cherlyn was a dream photographer for my small Santa Clara wedding held at the newly renovated chapel at the clerk-recorder's office. She had experience photographing there before, which was a major reason why I picked her to document my special day, in addition to her documentary-style photography which suited my shy spouse. I wanted someone who would be able to take formal photographs in addition to candids for the courthouse wedding and Chinese dinner to follow, and she more than understood the assignment. She took the time to scope out scenic areas near the office and even stayed for the dinner afterwards. She was a wonderful conversationalist and helped everyone feel at ease. I really treasure all the moments she was able to capture for us.

  • Serves Berkeley, CA

I'm Hannah, a full time wedding and portrait photographer in Livermore, California. To me, photography is so much more than just hiring another vendor. And that's why you should choose someone you truly love to work with! I believe the real magic happens during the in-between moments – a secret smile shared by the parents; a tearful hug with the maid of honor; a quirky moment with the best man. These memories are far more precious than any staged photo, and these are the memories I want to capture for you on your big day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Picking a wedding photographer is likely the most challenging vendor, many of your wedding memories are in their hands. My husband and I Zoom-interviewed countless photographers and we immediately cancelled every other interview / photographer hold after getting off our call with Hannah. Even over video, we felt like old friends. Throughout the wedding preparation process, we met and took photos with Hannah to get to know each other in person. We had a great time hanging out, making jokes, and all the while, getting outstanding "engagement" photos (we had already sent out a save-the-date). Hannah was also an expert at wrangling our pup, who loved to sniff and ignore the camera. Leading up to our wedding, she shared really helpful tools, which assisted us in outlining our wedding day and advising other vendors. Hannah checked in on us and regularly met with us over Zoom to make sure we were all on track. Unlike some of our other prep calls, we really looked forward to our prep sessions with Hannah. The day of our wedding, Hannah went out of her way to make it a success. When our florist insisted on delivering flowers later, Hannah picked up an extra bouquet to photograph with our details. She has an impressive wedding industry history, so she actually knew one of our vendors already and despite meeting the rest of the first time, she seamlessly flowed with all of them. She immediatley went to work with our wedding coordinator, but also adding to the camraderie and fun of "getting ready". She even advised and dealt with our very challenging videographer, who consistently got in her way. I can't imagine having anyone else so intimately involved with our wedding day as Hannah. I was looking forward to 1:1 moments with my husband the most, and Hannah made sure to prioritize those moments for us, capturing every ounce of excitement and bliss. Those moments are my most treasured of the day, and I actually really enjoyed having her there for them, because she is such a special person (and now friend)! She knows exactly how to handle anything thrown at her on wedding day. I can't recommend Hannah enough for your wedding experience. If you're looking for a truly special memory of your day, you will not only come out with hundreds of incredible photos, but you'll leave with a great new friend.

She was diligent on creating and executing a shotlist and even added in some family portrait combinations that I missed on the first round.

I'm a passionate photographer who finds joy in collaborating with creative minds to capture extraordinary moments. By day, I channel my expertise into high-quality construction work, while my artistic pursuits in photography allow me to explore my creativity and connect with others on a profound level.

From start to finish, working with Will was so refreshing. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he also has a truly artistic eye that brings every photo to life. Every single image he delivered was stunning, beautifully composed, full of emotion, and captured with such an authentic feel. What really stood out to us was how effortless and seamless the entire photography process felt. Will has this calm and warm energy that instantly put us (and everyone else) at ease. During the bridesmaids' photoshoot, he created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere - it honestly felt more like hanging out with a friend than posing for pictures! He encouraged us to be ourselves, let loose, and enjoy the moment, and the result was a set of natural, joyful, and candid shots that we’ll cherish forever. It felt like Will was genuinely part of the celebration — laughing with us, hyping us up - you could tell he genuinely loves what he does and was fully present with us in the moment. His enthusiasm was infectious, and it felt like he was celebrating right alongside us, which made the whole experience even more special. He was also incredibly patient and professional throughout the day. Never once did we feel rushed or staged, he took his time to get the right shots while making sure we stayed present and enjoyed the experience. I genuinely cannot recommend Will enough. His talent speaks for itself, but it’s his personality, passion, and dedication that make him truly exceptional. If you’re looking for someone who will not only take beautiful photos but also enhance your wedding day experience, Will is 100% the one. We’d recommend him a million times over!

We received so many gorgeous photos back that we could hardly choose which ones to post - the value was incredible for the quality of the work. She was a pleasure to have around, and we even spotted her out on the dance floor with us, capturing all the fun moments. The guests and I loved having her there to document our special day. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend J. Lee Photography to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer.
