I've been photographing weddings for over ten years and I love it even more than when I started. I consider it an honor to be there for so many special moments in people's lives and find something unique and new with every wedding day. I am punctual, flexible, and attentive, helping to bring a calm and focused vibe to your wedding day.

“Maria brings such a warm, curious, and intentional energy to every interaction. She never just went through the motions, but genuinely got to know us, our story, and what mattered most for our day. Maria has this rare ability to be both incredibly professional and wonderfully down-to-earth. She's witty, fun, and refreshingly direct in the best way. She has great ideas and still kept us on track without ever making anything feel stressful. Every meeting felt productive and efficient, yet still personal and full of joy. We always felt heard, supported, and excited about the process. Her work is just stunning. The images we’ve seen so far are fresh, vibrant, and full of life and already feel like timeless memories we’ll treasure forever. She captured not only the beauty of the day but the emotion behind it, and I truly can’t wait to see the rest! Maria is more than just a photographer. She is a natural, a calming presence, and an absolute professional. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her document our wedding”

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.”

If your idea of a perfect elopement or micro-wedding involves a wild location, a quirky Airbnb, or just tossing tradition out the window—hi, hello, I might be the photographer for you. My company is Southeast based, but absolutely not glued here. I’ve photographed love stories all over the U.S.—NYC, Denver, Vegas, NOLA, Savannah, etc.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I had the pleasure of working with StewartBarnes Photo Co. at one of the most fun weddings I've ever been part of at Syndicated in Brooklyn a few months ago, and I still find myself coming back to those photos—they're some of my favorite wedding images I've seen, and as a wedding industry professional, I see a lot of them! I first came across the couple's engagement photos and immediately thought, "Wow." The images were vibrant, natural, and truly captured their personalities. When I finally met the StewartBarnes team on the wedding day, I was equally impressed by their professionalism, creativity, and ability to capture incredible moments without ever being intrusive. As a DJ, I especially appreciate photographers who can document vendors in action naturally. More often than not, photographers either don't take any photos of me or interrupt my workflow by asking me to pose. StewartBarnes managed to capture some fantastic shots of me working without disrupting the moment, which I really appreciated. They were a joy to work with, and their talent speaks for itself. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again soon!”

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.

“Peter from Bedrosian Photo was the perfect wedding photographer for us. He has an amazing eye for detail, capturing all the little moments that made our day so special. Peter felt like a friend, coordinator, and photographer all in one - he made sure our timeline was going smoothly so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. The photos he took are absolutely stunning, and we are forever grateful for his professionalism and passion. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding day.”

If you've ever felt awkward in photos, that's my favorite problem to solve. I bring real direction so you feel confident and know exactly what to do, then I step back and let the actual moment happen. That's loose editorial: bold, stylish portraits sitting right next to the real in-between moments, in the same gallery, not a choice between the two. I'm Heather, and I travel for weddings because I want to, not because I have to. I want your photos to look incredible and still look like you, not a stiff, overpolished version of someone else.

She went above and beyond and captured everything we could have hoped for and then some. It felt like we had known her for many years thank you for being a great person.”

Wedding photos are forever, and it's impressive how a one second press of the shutter can lead to a photo which expresses a lifetime of love, memories, celebration, and laughter.

He will shoot in any location you wish, will take any angle of shot that you wish, and will make sure you are happy with the end result. And trust me, you will be!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.”

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. 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! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

The I Do Photography is an award-winning team of wedding photographers and filmmakers, based across Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, and beyond. Since 2012 we've photographed more than 1,600 weddings, from intimate ceremonies to large multi-day celebrations. We blend documentary, editorial, and fine art styles into images that feel real and raw while still looking spectacular, and we value the little moments as much as the big ones. Photography is our craft; we offer film as well, together or on its own.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We wish we could give "I Do" Photography and Nathan (our photographer) 10 stars! They worked our wedding at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills and did an absolutely incredible job (more details below). Sarah, our go-to contact person from day one, went way above and beyond in being accessible for questions, taking note of our vision and making great suggestions. In short, she was a total delight to work with, as was the case with Nathan. Prior to the wedding, Nathan took time out of his busy life to get on a video call with Corey and I to discuss our timeline, vision and final details. The questionnaire Sarah provided before that was also extremely helpful in conveying our vision, and it was evident Nathan had reviewed those responses in detail before our call. Nathan and The "I Do" Photography team listened attentively and noted all of our requests and gave great suggestions, but always made it clear it was up to us and they wanted to execute whatever was most important to us. We left our meeting with Nathan feeling so at ease about the people who would capture our day! The craziest part is Nathan was even more spectacular on the wedding day itself than we could have ever expected and brought the most incredible energy and enthusiasm for SEVEN hours straight. Nathan worked tirelessly throughout the evening, and he and the "I Do" team's commitment to excellence was evident in every interaction with them in the lead-up and every moment throughout the wedding. We are so in love with our wedding photos and cannot get over the talent and quality of Nathan and the editing team. Corey and I hope many more couples get to experience what we did throughout the process and couldn't be more thankful for the role that Nathan and the broader "I Do" team (Sarah, Anna and Lydia) played!”

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA. With over a decade of experience and features in Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
“This review is long overdue. Working with Katherine was, without question, one of the best decisions we made for our City Hall wedding in May 2025. Months of Instagram research led me to Katherine. I started following her work before I was even engaged. She is phenomenal at what she does. From our very first interaction, her communication was exceptional. Katherine is prompt, thoughtful, and genuinely attentive. She took the time to truly understand our vision, ensuring every image beautifully reflected the aesthetic and overall tone we hoped for. Beyond her remarkable talent behind the camera, Katherine was an invaluable presence throughout the planning process. She went above and beyond to help us develop a clear, well-organized schedule, which made our wedding day feel effortless and seamless, which she absolutely did not need to do (I still appreciate you so much for this Katherine). Her calm, confident guidance kept everything on track and allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the moment, knowing we were in capable hands. What truly sets Katherine apart is her warmth and presence. She has an incredible ability to make people feel comfortable and at ease, and our friends and family immediately felt that. My mother-in-law continues to remark on how much she loves Katherine and how wonderful she was at our wedding. Katherine blended naturally into the celebration while still providing gentle direction, managing group photos with efficiency and grace so that everyone felt seen and comfortable. When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. Katherine has a rare eye for capturing intimate, emotional moments, many of which we didn’t even realize were unfolding at the time. There is a specific image she captured of my husband laughing while his grandfather is speaking during our ceremony; we could not figure out when it happened. It was not until we watched the video of our ceremony did we see it happen. It was a split second reaction and Katherine captured it beautifully. We asked that our wedding photos feel like an inside-joke but anyone looking in still feels like they are in on the joke and that is what she delivered. The photos are not just beautiful images; they are meaningful, timeless memories captured with care, intention, and artistry. There is just something so special about Katherine's work; she perfectly encapsulates every emotion in a photo. Seven months later, I'm still in awe. We are deeply grateful to Katherine for capturing our wedding so perfectly. If you are looking for a photographer who is highly organized, incredibly talented, and a true joy to work with, we cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you a thousand times again Katherine! All our gratitude, M & S”

What excites me most isn’t just photographing a wedding day, it’s delivering images you’ll come back to again and again. I focus on real connection, genuine emotion, and creating an experience that feels easy and comfortable from start to finish. Sometimes that means quietly observing the day as it unfolds, and other times gently guiding you when you needed. With nearly 20 years behind the camera, my goal is simple: to capture photographs that feel as meaningful years from now as they do the moment you see them. If you’re looking for someone who cares just as much about how your photos feel as how they look, I’d love to connect.

“Lee has beautifully photographed some of my family members for years, so we were excited to choose him for our engagement photos. He not only met our expectations, but far exceeded them! Lee took amazing photographs of us at Castaic Lake and made it a super fun, comfortable time. It was our first time taking professional photos together and we had a blast. Lee really knows his stuff, and he made the whole shoot feel very natural and relaxed. Cannot recommend him enough!!”

DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN ARIZONA, USA, MEXICO, & EUROPE I've always been drawn to people who do things their own way. The ones who bring color, personality, and don’t fit neatly into a box. From weddings to family sessions and events of all kinds, I create bold, true to color images that capture the romance, the chaos, and everything that made your day feel like yours. What matters most to me is helping you feel comfortable enough to let go a little, be fully yourself, and actually enjoy what’s happening while I document it.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment we reached out to A Nomadic Love, their communication was quick, detailed, and responsive. My husband and I no longer live in Dallas, TX and despite the time zone difference, Carly was always so easy to reach out to regarding any questions or concerns about our wedding day. Carly and Elliot were both extremely professional, but also so easy to work with throughout the entire process both before, during, and after our wedding day! Three months prior to our wedding, Carly and Elliot even came to our wedding venue ahead of time to test the lighting, which was a concern of mine since our venue was indoors and I was concerned about how everything would photograph, especially in regards to my bright red wedding dress. In addition, the two of them worked so effectively throughout our wedding in regard to the photos. My husband wanted to be surprised when I walked down the aisle, so the only opportunity to take couple’s portraits was after our ceremony prior to the reception along with getting photos with our family. Their attention to detail and ability to work within our time constraints ensured we got beautiful photos that perfectly captured the joy and love of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the service and quality of work from A Nomadic Love, and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.”

Every wedding has its own rhythm. I'm inspired by the way a great film makes you feel like you're actually inside the story — the anticipation before something happens, the quiet moments between people, the movement, the atmosphere, and the unexpected frames you could never have planned. I photograph weddings with that same instinct, moving with what's already unfolding rather than forcing the day into a shot list or manufacturing moments. The images move between digital capture and authentic 35mm and medium-format film, giving each moment the rendering that suits it best — creating photographs that feel like frames from a film you happened to live inside.

“Caz and Sheldon were amazing to work with! Caz has such an amazing and special vision when it comes to photography and really captured our day to perfection and so beautifully. Upon receiving our photos back, we were able to relive our day as if we were in each moment! He is sooooo talented and I really recommend him to anyone. You won’t find a better photographer.”

“Diego was the perfect photographer for our wedding! He was so great at making us both feel natural in front of the camera, posing us super well, and in turn getting beautiful shots. He made sure we got all the things we needed, even when it accidentally caused him to not eat and have to stay 15 minutes over our alloted time. I am SO grateful that he was so willing to be accommodating to capture our special moments. He is a GREAT photographer and I would definitely HIGHLY recommend him for your wedding or special event.”
