Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

I was born and raised in the Philippines but now call Northern California my home. I've been a photographer for over a decade and that journey has made me come to realize that nothing makes me happier than making those behind my lens feel amazing about themselves.

Kathryn Lewis Photography

  • Serves Catheys Valley, CA

Meet Kathryn: I began my career as a wedding photographer almost 15 years ago, first working for a renowned Bay Area wedding photographer, and then officially opening Kathryn Lewis Photography in 2014. I loved capturing intimate moments, getting (maybe overly) excited about good light, traveling to gorgeous places, and helping set up the perfect timeline and obsessing about the details so clients’ wedding days could be seamless and stress free. Being able to do that for so many amazing clients makes this such a dream. I'd love to meet you!

Kathryn is wonderful! We did our engagement photos with her as well as our wedding photos. She was so easy to work with, never once added to the stress of such an important day and gave us hundreds of beautiful photos. Four years into our marriage and I still have our album bookmarked on my browsers to flip through often. I highly recommend Kathryn for all your photo needs and hope to work with her for every special event in our future. She was flexible, intuitive and never once felt intrusive during our ceremony but managed to capture so many perfect shots.

Kate Michelle Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,490
  • Serves Catheys Valley, CA

From the moment we begin planning together, my process centers on trust and ease. I believe that beautiful imagery comes not from forced posing or rigid schedules, but from relaxed presence and genuine interaction — the fleeting glances, the laughter between moments, and the quiet exchanges that happen when people feel truly comfortable in front of the camera. Couples often describe my presence as calming, intuitive, and supportive, and I love helping even those with little photography experience feel natural and confident.

It is difficult to put into words how wonderfully Kate captured our wedding. Her professionalism and skill allowed her to take beautiful photos, but her presence and perceptivity guided her camera toward the most important, intimate scenes of the day. We were fortunate enough to have Kate with us for the full wedding weekend, as she got to know our inner circle of closest family and friends. She observed as hundreds of connections were made, countless laughs were shared, and documented the magic in those moments between our guests. Kate guided us through our camera-shyness and instructed us with her expertise on how to pose for photos. She effortlessly wrangled and directed our bridal party and families for a seamless, efficient photo session, somehow keeping us all on schedule. Our wedding was lighthearted and festive at times, as well as deeply sentimental and emotional at other times, and Kate's photos encapsulated all of it. We are so grateful for her, and couldn't have imagined a more well-suited photographer for the most special day of our lives.

As you can tell, sometimes choosing your photographer can be an overwhelming process. There are so many things to consider when narrowing it down to your perfect match. Of course, style and price are the main two, however, some couples forget that your photographer is the one person who is with you the most on your wedding or event day. That is why we offer complementary sessions to all our couples so we get to work together and create a bond. Instead of just being "the photographer" at your event, our goal is to capture beautiful images from your day and leave you with an experience that enhances your memories.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From start to finish, Wedding Times Film was an absolute dream to work with. They have an incredible eye for capturing not just moments, but emotions—every smile, tear, and laugh was documented so beautifully. The photos were beyond stunning—timeless, elegant, and so full of life. [Photographer’s Name] has this unique ability to make you feel completely at ease in front of the camera, which truly shines through in the natural and candid shots. Not only were they professional and attentive, but they also brought a calm and joyful energy to our wedding day, which made all the difference. We’ll cherish these photos forever and can’t thank them enough for perfectly capturing one of the most important days of our lives. If you’re looking for a talented, passionate, and reliable photographer, look no further—Wedding Times Film is amazing. Highly recommend!

We met when she offered free sessions to essential workers during Covid. I was just starting my fertility journey and she took the most iconic photo of my life. A picture of me holding my very first fertility needle. You can FEEL how powerful it is. We then hired her for maternity pictures and baby was born THE DAY BEFORE. We switched it to a family session after bringing him home from the NICU and they’re my favorite photos. She truly captured how special our story it is. We can’t wait for the next time we get to capture moments with Nichole!

We are incredibly grateful Xenia was our engagement/wedding photographer and couldn't be happier with the results! The photos will speak to her technical talent; her professionalism and dedication to her craft are evident in every shot. It was so hard for me to only select 6 photos. What the images don't explicitly show is that Xenia was an absolute joy to work with. She is clear, transparent, and helpful in her communication. Her straightforward and friendly communication ensured we were always on the same page and felt supported throughout the process. While shooting, she is organized and efficient. We got every shot we hoped for and then some. Her enthusiasm and joy were infectious. She made these two awkward nerds feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We cannot recommend Xenia enough! We will cherish the photos you took forever!

Hey, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a wedding photographer, yes — but more than that, I’m someone who deeply values connection. I love getting to know my couples, their families, and their chosen families. I photograph all kinds of love, but I’m especially proud to serve the LGBTQIA+ community. As a lesbian and someone who’s been through the wedding planning process with my amazing wife, I know how powerful representation is — and how much it matters. Whether you’re queer or an ally, I’m honored you’ve found your way here. Tell me your love story, and let’s show the world just how magical it is.

My wife and I had such an amazing time working with Michelle. Her friendly personality immediately put us at ease and made us feel so safe and seen. Michelle was amazing at helping my wife and I pose ourselves naturally, and getting us to connect in front of the camera with sweet little questions to each other like "What do you love about your partner? Go ahead and tell her." Michelle was also so consent oriented and intentional about asking if she could help pose us and what made us feel comfortable, asking our pronouns, referring to us by name, and overall just creating such a wonderful environment. Not to mention that her skill behind the camera speaks for itself! Michelles mix of film and digital photography, her people skills, and her ability to capture such real and tender moments makes her an invaluable wedding, engagement, and romance photographer and I could not recommend her more highly.

Alongside creative direction, my experience allows me to be an advisor for timeline shaping so the day moves with intention and room to breathe, building a collaborative storyboard, capturing visual analog film & super 8

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about Justina—she helped our wedding day run seamlessly! From the start, she was incredibly helpful and communicative, working closely with us to construct the perfect wedding day timeline. She even provided a detailed wedding guidebook and questionnaire, which helped us envision the exact vibe we wanted. On the big day, when we inevitably fell behind schedule, Justina handled it with such grace and adapted quickly. She adjusted effortlessly, stayed flexible, and kept everything moving. Even with less time for photos, she still managed to capture all the shots we had requested. Justina’s collaboration with her brother Anthony, who did our videography, was another highlight. Instead of coordinating between two separate vendors, we were able to meet with both of them together, ensuring that our wedding day vibe was beautifully reflected in both the photos and video. They both were extremely professional and helpful, in addition to providing creative ideas that helped bring our vision to life. What truly sets Justina apart is her talent and eye for candid shots that look and feel so natural. You can tell she cares deeply about the quality of her work. She got us a preview album within a week of the wedding, and my husband and I were so moved by the photos. We still cannot stop looking through them! If you want someone who will make your wedding photo dreams come true and help you feel comfortable and taken care of on our wedding day, look no further than Justina.

She made sure we got every shot on our must-have list while still capturing so many candid, joyful moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Our groomsmen especially had a great time during photos, which says a lot considering many of them don’t like photos, but they all complimented Svanna on her ability to make it a good time for them! The final gallery is absolutely beautiful — her editing style is timeless, natural, and truly brings the day back to life every time we look through it. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would 100% recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, easygoing, and genuinely wonderful photographer.

I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories.

I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—honest, emotional, and deeply meaningful. While I love beautifully decorated weddings, I’m equally passionate about photographing celebrations that are simple, imperfect, and real. Your florals don’t need to be full, and your venue doesn’t need to be luxurious. What matters most is your connection. I’m especially drawn to noticing the most touching moments in any setting—your emotions, your interactions, and the quiet love you share.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Callie as our photographer for both our civil ceremony and our wedding in Hawaii, and we couldn’t be happier. For the civil ceremony, we thought the photos were already stunning—she captured everything beautifully, even though it was just a more low-key setting at our hotel and City Hall. But it was really at our Hawaii wedding that Callie’s talent shone through. She was there from the morning prep to the evening party, and she turned every moment into something that felt like a piece of a movie. The atmosphere, the storytelling, and the almost cinematic feel of her photos were just on another level. Honestly, we got so many compliments from friends who saw the photos and asked us who our photographer was. In short, we can’t recommend Callie highly enough. She made our special days look and feel magical, and we’re incredibly grateful.

Laurie Ann Martin and her team are a fun and professional group to work with. She is detailed oriented and cares not only how the pictures turn out but also your experience. My eyelash came off and I wanted to cry at city hall but she not only made me happy but went to Walgreens to get eye glue lash! That is the type of all hats on board she and her team are. When they had down time before the reception, they even offered to help out non-picture wise wherever they could! She also sends little gifts and surprises but I won’t spoil it. There is one BIG surprise she does at the end but I won’t spoil that either lol. She is fortunately not shy about whether she understands whether things are communicated correctly to her, especially when it comes to the albums - I was quite detailed oriented in what I wanted in my albums and how they were designed _. Her and her teams services are of an immense value and my husband and I had ALOT of fun shooting and videoing with them. Also, the video was really great, really a must. Thank you Laurie and your team!
