De Joy Photography

5.0

Santa Cruz, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,800

When I photograph your special day, I not only tell your story, but also document the love and emotions so that you can remember how it felt that day. I believe a photo should enable emotions even for those who couldn’t be there to experience it themselves, and that the style and quality are without match. I will showcase your lifestyle and love. My editing style is colorful, timeless, beautiful, and flattering. I want your heart to swell every time you go through your photos! I am so excited to capture your love in a bold way.

I have had the pleasure to work with Amber on several weddings and events. She is not only easy to work with but is very communicative and exceeds expectations. As a wedding venue/coordinator, there are times where a photographer will take over and slow things down from a timeline standpoint, but not Amber! She gets the "money shots" quickly and gets you back to your wedding to celebrate :) Oh JOY for De Joy Photography!

Hi there! You’re probably here because you’re engaged (pop the champagne!) or you're looking for someone to capture timeless lifestyle portraits that you'll want to cherish forever & always. I believe having a photographer that’s fun (wait, hold my beer!) and makes the wedding day feel relaxed & stress-free is numero uno. I am the one who fluffs your dress, the one crying behind the camera while you exchange your vows, & the one saying “yasssss!” a little too often. I’ll make sure you two & your family look flawless and do whatever it takes to get your candid moments.

I'm a photographer with a background in photojournalism, but I love a good dance party, being in the presence of people in love, the smell of a brand new baby, and crazy families (especially my own) far too much, so I became what I was meant to be; a wedding and portrait photographer.

Xenia Park is a photography and videography company based in Los Angeles. Every couple, with their distinctive love story, transforms into a canvas where we paint with the play of light and shadow. It extends beyond the grandeur of photographing pivotal moments like vows, rings, and the first dance; it encompasses the art of capturing nuanced glances, shared laughter, and the silent connection that elevates an ordinary day into an extraordinary celebration of love.

The pictures for our wedding and engagement were very nice! She has artistic talent, is quite prompt with communication, and easy to work with. The final photos did come somewhat late, but we did get sneak peak photos on time to share with family. It was a pleasure working with her!

Amative Creative

Lynchburg, VA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Andrea and team have been nothing short of phenomenal. Not only did Andrea take the time to talk through the entire process from start to finish and answer all of our questions, but she remained in constant contact before, during and after our wedding. She always answered our texts and calls, no matter what time of day or night! She and her team made us feel very comfortable during our engagement and wedding photos, and she respected our comfort level. The photos the Amative Creative team delivered are straight out of a wedding catalogue--her product matched our vision exactly. She provided 2,000 photos within six months and the wait was totally worth it. Not only did Andrea take our engagement and wedding photos, but she connected us with a photographer while we were on our honeymoon in Paris to take additional photos that Andrea then edited and delivered within two days. Working with her has felt like a dream! Andrea and team love their clients like their own family, and we would recommend Amative Creative again and again.

Oury Memories

Reston, VA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

If I could give Grace and her assistant 10 stars I would! Our wedding was very low key with no day of coordinator, etc. Grace and her assistant helped my husband and I navigate the day. We were also very nervous about having photos taken and she did a wonderful job at putting us at ease and helping us with poses. Our wedding photos turned out amazing and we get so many compliments on them! I highly recommend Grace for your wedding!

Lerina Winter Photo

5.0

Santa Barbara, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,750
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

Lerina was so easy to work with from the start! She quickly responded to our inquiry, and in our call, it was easy to decide that she was the wedding photographer we wanted to work with. We already knew that we loved her aesthetic. So when communication and logistics were easy, we were confident about working with her. Our wedding was scheduled for June 2020. We were really bummed about significantly downsizing to a small wedding in the last minute, but vendors like Lerina made the day so incredibly special. Lerina flew across the country to South Carolina to capture our small wedding. One year later, she and her assistant, Danny, flew out again to shoot our larger one-year anniversary renewal of vows. Throughout all the uncertainty, Lerina was easy to communicate with and incredibly reasonable with adapting the contract and rescheduling amidst the unprecedented circumstances. In retrospect, we were so blessed to get to know Lerina and Danny as well as we did because of the extended time of working together. They hold special places in our hearts and working with them was like working with dear, fun friends. They even accepted our invitation to our Low Country Boil rehearsal dinner and were wonderful with engaging our 2-year-old niece during photographing. We had such a blast together. Lerina helped us to feel natural in our photos and her images captured the love, joy, and beauty that filled our celebrations.

Cassie Valente Photography

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $9,750
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
I initially met Cassie when I volunteered to help some close friends with their family portrait session as the official puppy wrangler. I have always felt uncomfortable in front of a camera but after seeing Cassie at work, I knew I had to reach out about my own upcoming wedding. Like most 2020 brides, it has been a roller coaster of a year. We postponed our celebration but decided to elope in Big Sur, just the two of us. On the day, I woke up feeling very bittersweet, especially without my family and friends there with us. I was questioning if this was the right decision for us but now we look back and know this is the day that got us through the most difficult year of our lives. Cassie truly went above and beyond to make it special for us -- scouting the best sites for pictures, facilitating a sweet first look, helping us feel comfortable and like ourselves in front of the camera, giving direction when we were feeling a little hesitant. It was initially difficult for me to trust one person with how our day was going to look but I would do it again in a heartbeat. The pictures really speak for themselves. Cassie is incredibly talented, professional, committed, easy to work with, and truly brought out the best in both of us. I will cherish these pictures for the rest of my life.

Ryan is truly a gem to work with. He and his wife worked together as a team for both my engagement shoot and even more so on the day of my wedding. They were able to split up and shoot my husband and I at rhe same time. Both of them were so fun to work with and so professional. Ryan even helped my dad out when his walker was nowhere to be found. My engagement photos were so beautiful and I have so much confidence that my wedding photos will be even more gorgeous! His prices are more than reasonable and worth every cent! Thank you, Ryan Michaels Photography! You both helped make our day more perfect than we imagined.
