  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

My husband and I cannot rave enough about how amazing Amanda is as a photographer!! We live in NYC and had our wedding in southern California, so it was extra important for us to find someone who was professional and responsive. Amanda was both right from the beginning, and she made all the preparations very easy for us. We first met her in person to take our engagement photos, and we felt like we bonded with Amanda right away. We both feel awkward in front of a camera, and Amanda was a pro at helping us to relax and look natural in the photos. And her photos from our wedding are absolutely stunning! She did an incredible job capturing the natural light of our outdoor venue and all of the special moments, big and small, from the day. We are so, so happy with our photos, and with the wonderful memories Amanda helped us create. The icing on the cake is that Amanda puts personal touches on everything that she does and provides, and it's clear she loves her job. It's not a stretch to say I recommend Amanda every chance I get, and although we don't live in southern California, I genuinely hope we'll have more opportunities to work with Amanda again. Thank you, Amanda - you're a treasure!

Davis Group Photo + Video

Temecula, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

Meet Ellen, a Southern California native and seasoned visual storyteller: I've been photographing events and portraiture since 2017 and specialize in destination weddings and elopements. For me, the best part about being a photographer is getting to witness my client’s once in a lifetime memories being created and knowing that my work will allow future generations to experience those memories as well. I take on all types of creative photo shoots when I'm not shooting weddings.

It was a pleasure to work with Eileen for our wedding photos! She is professional and had offered ideas to help bring out our best moments in the pictures. It takes 30 days for her to deliver the pictures, and I think that it is worth the wait because Eileen provides both color and black & white versions, as well as curating the shots. I personally do not enjoy the idea of sifting through hundreds and hundreds of photos so I appreciate the extra time and effort on her part.

I worked as the day of coordinator for wedding back in March. The original photographer got sick and wasn’t able to work the wedding and had Joyce as her back up. Joyce only had <48 hr notice that she was going to shoot a wedding…and spoiler alert, she did great! Joyce arrived on time and got to shooting right away. She took direction easily and was very flexible. Her turnaround time was great and it felt like we got the album back in no time! While working as a college student and photographer, I highly suggest Joyce!

hey you! thanks for dropping by. my name is shelby, and i am a queer artist and manhattan based photographer who specializes in weddings + equine portraiture. my priority as a photographer is developing a personal relationship with each and every one of my clients (two or four legged). your special moments are their most pure when you are comfortable and ready to just have fun, and i am here to create that joyful space.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew from our first message exchange that Shelby was the right choice for our us. She’s so down to Earth and was always on the same page as us. The photo shoot itself was a ton of fun, and spending that time with her was like hanging out with a friend who was also a professional photographer. I’ll also note that my wife - who tends to be a bit particular about things - left me in charge of finding the photographer, and she hasn’t stopped praising me for what a great choice I made with Shelby. This level of praise is something that almost never happens, so thank you Shelby for helping me score some points!

Calea was a superb photographer to work with. She was so much fun, super friendly, and made us feel comfortable and as if we'd always known her. It was like having a family member do our wedding photos even tho we only met her the day before. She went above and beyond for us, had so many great ideas, scouted locations for beautiful photos around our venue, and was amazing with our guests as well. The turn around time for getting our photos was so quick that we got to enjoy looking through them on our honeymoon. We are blown away by how gorgeous the photos are and how well she captured the perfect day for us. It's a gift we will have forever. Highly recommend booking her- she even travels anywhere for you!

She created Anna Panutsa Portraits as a passion project to apply her decade of refined photography experience to portray love stories all over the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot speak more highly of Anna's artistry and photography skills! We are in love with our photos, as she made our wedding day look like a fairytale! She went above and beyond! There was a good balance between traditional portraits and candid/creative shots that showcased our personality as a couple. We had a complicated wedding day timeline with multiple photo locations, as our venue did not allow us to arrive early. She took time out of her personal schedule to search for photo locations in the area before the wedding day. She also had multiple phone calls with us throughout the wedding planning process and was very responsive if we had questions or timeline updates. On the day of the wedding, she made sure we were on schedule and calmed our nerves as we moved from place to place. She made us feel less awkward in front of the camera and gave multiple prompts to capture the best shots! We will cherish these photos for years to come!!

Abby Taylor Photography

5.0

Newport Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

I am so obsessed with Abby's work ethic, her kindness, and how absolutely beautiful her shots are! Her pricing is so fair for the dedication and detail she puts into her work and she is expert-level communicative. I was nervous because my husband and I had never had professional photos taken of ourselves when we had started this whole process. We chose to get our engagement photos done as an add-on to our wedding package and it was such a great introduction to Abby and her photography style. It made us feel so comfortable meeting her before our big day and she assured us we looked great. On the day of the wedding, she listened closely to every detail shot I wanted and made sure we had important pictures of family included. She also made sure my husband and I had some time alone to get the most romantic shots on location of our small beachy wedding. I have never loved photos so much in my entire life. I'm itching to hang them up on our walls already! I would recommend her a thousand times over if I could
