We had a wonderful experience working with Sound Originals for our wedding photographer vendor. Our photographer did such an amazing job, he took so many beautiful photos, it's difficult to pick our favorite, lol. Which, is definitely the kind of problem you want to have. The entire process was so easy, it really removed a huge stressor from planning/the wedding day. We had so much fun working with Steve. I highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography needs!

Loes Takes Clips

Danville, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves California

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.

Vic was the best photographer my husband and I have ever worked with!!! We hired her for our wedding and she was so professional and fun to work with. My family, bridal party and guest loved her! Vic had us laughing the entire time and made us feel comfortable with posing and suggested us the best ideas too. After a week or 2 after the wedding we got our photos and they were breathtaking!! Most photos I didn’t realized she captured since she was so quick on her feet. It looks like there was 3 photographers since she got all angles from the ceremony, speeches, and dances. We are so impressed by how amazing she is. We highly recommend her to photograph any event you have and want to make sure everything is captured!

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

I’m Peter, the guy behind Bedrosian Photo. I photograph weddings, people, parties, emotion, chaos, and all the weird little moments in between. I care way more about honesty than perfection — the nervous energy before a ceremony, your drunk uncle on the dance floor, your grandma crying quietly in the corner, or the split-second look your partner gives you when they think nobody’s watching. Those moments matter more than anything staged ever could.

Awarded Best of Zola
Peter from Bedrosian Photo was not just our wedding photographer, but a true coordinator who ensured our entire day was captured seamlessly. He constantly communicated with our wedding planner, DJ, and video crew to make sure nothing was missed. As a couple who typically dislikes taking photos, Peter made the process fun and natural for us. He stepped in when needed but also gave us space to enjoy our day. Peter truly felt like a friend taking photos, not just another vendor. We are thrilled with the quality of Bedrosian Photo's work and the incredible value they provided for our special day.

They are just LIFESAVERS! For some reason, don’t ask me why, we decided to look for Photographers about 1 month before our wedding day. And by true luck, they were still available. They were recommended by my mother. She was at my cousin’s wedding, and she was amazed at how well the photographer operated on the wedding day. I contacted them, and the whole process of booking wasn’t difficult at all. They had answers to all of my questions and concerns I had at that moment, everything was really easy and smooth. They showed me that it would be beneficial for us to consider booking a videographer as well. Luckily we had a budget and, oh my god, it would be horrible if I didn’t get video as well. On the actual day, their level of customer service was nothing but excellent! Since it’s our first wedding :), we had no clue how the shooting process worked, I was a little bit concerned about that, but the way they operated and instructed us was so smooth and seamless, it was as good as it could be done! The result was amazing! Both photos and videos were shot and edited very professionally. In the photos, we looked like we are models from the cover of a magazine. The video wasn’t some ordinary romantic wedding video, it was a movie, with great storytelling and a fantastic choice of music! My husband and I recommend them!

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.

We were thrilled with PKA Photography for our wedding photos. Kate, LaRon, and Mia were so friendly, accommodating, and professional throughout the whole process. Their communication style made us feel at ease on our big day. The quality of their work is simply stunning - they perfectly captured all the special moments and smallest details of our wedding with their artistic eye and skill. We are overjoyed with our wedding album and can't stop looking through the beautiful, vibrant photos that help us relive our special day. Thank you PKA Photography for preserving our memories so incredibly! Kate, LaRon, and Mia are truly talented and we'd highly recommend them to any couple looking for amazing wedding photography.

Lulan created our pre-wedding ceremony photos at Caesar's Palace and the Botanical Garden at the Bellagio. Lulan outdid himself on this day in 103-degree weather. He made me look like a 1960's Chanel model. He created whimsical photo moments and good lighting balance. Highly recommend Lulan. Wish I could relive the moment all over again.
