Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
We love Justin! HIRE HIM AND DON’T THINK TWICE! We were lucky enough to find Justin before we were even engaged, so we were blessed with not only the most magical wedding day photography experience, but also our engagement and engagement party! Justin is ABSOLUTELY the best of the best. A true professional and a true friend every step of the way, Justin’s desire to make us feel safe, seen, prepared and excited leading up to our day was so clear and so deeply appreciated. And his craft could not be more impressive. He helped make every member of our bridal party and family comfortable throughout the day and by the end of the whole process, he will forever feel like family. And his second photographer for the day Amber was an absolute dream to work with as well, so you know you’ll be in good hands with anyone Justin brings along! The photos we’ve received thus far are nothing short of phenomenal. I have truly never felt more beautiful! We could not have dreamed up a better photographer or a better experience. Thank you thank you thank you Justin! If you are looking for an incredible all around photography experience for your wedding, you have truly found it with Justin! PS-he is GREAT with dogs in pics!

Desiree & Raul here! We are a fun-loving adorkable couple who married in 2016 and shortly thereafter realized we like hanging out with each other, we love capturing love in the form of photos, and we adore making someone's magical day as perfect as it can be. With 10 years of expertise we work hard to provide nothing short of the experience we would have wanted for ourselves. We're foodies, film lovers, animal lovers (particularly fond of dogs & Alpaca), into hikes & meeting awesome new people!

Awarded Best of Zola
Desiree and Raul are by far the best in the biz! They have captured every event of our wedding: engagement photos, engagement party, elopement wedding, and vow renewal. They learn who you are as a couple, they figure out what is most important to you, they capture all facial expressions, they also remind you to breathe. During the wedding day (which I had two), Desiree reminded me to lift my head up, she wiped my makeup so I didn’t look like I was crying, Raul cleaned my husband's shoes after we were in the rain, and Raul does the best dress flip ever!! Oh don’t let me forget the detailed photos - Desiree wanted to know everything that was sentimental to me and my husband so she could capture them. She snapped photos of special tattoos, special guests, and unique items that my family made. I will be sure to recommend them to anyone and everyone in the area, as well as continue to use them for the next big event in our lives - which we used Desiree for my maternity photos! We love Desiree and Raul!

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

Abby was an absolute gem to work with! As a content creator who works very closely with lots photographers, I have experienced lots of other photographers who dismissed me and belittled my role and responsibilities. Abby was the complete opposite! She treated me as an equal and was extremely easy to communicate with. Instead of blocking and pushing me aside, we were able to collaborate flawlessly. If she ever needed to switch spots or have me move elsewhere, she was extremely polite and still made sure I was able to get my shot. I seriously can not wait to work with her again!!

Oceanside, CA

  • Serves Claremont, CA

Traveling has taught me the importance of capturing all the important - big and small - moments to look back on years later. I love capturing those truly candid moments. The kind of photos that put you right back in the moment five, ten, fifty years later. I'm a Southern California-based photographer that will travel wherever you want to document your love! I'm constantly exploring in my hiking boots with laid-back couples that want to capture genuine moments about their relationship. When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my people, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm not even sure where to begin! We met Emily in 2022, when my now husband and I got engaged in the Outer Banks. Leading up to our engagement shoot, we were both anxious expecting to feel uncomfortable and out of place in front of a professional camera lens for the first time. After meeting Emily, that awkwardness lasted about 2 minutes flat, and soon found ourselves not only feeling comfortable, but truly having a blast with it. Between changing locations, we grabbed coffee and bagels where we spent time chatting and getting to know Emily, discovering many similarities between our families, talking about our dogs and so much more. While shooting at our second location, a gorgeous botanical garden none of us had ever been to, it truly felt as if we were just there to explore and that Emily was our childhood friend who happened to just have a camera with her taking photos and not at all that we had just met her earlier that morning. By the end of our day together, before even seeing a single photo from our shoot, we were already discussing flying her out to NY to shoot our wedding and months later, the minute we decided on a date, we hired Emily again. Working with Emily to plan our photography portion of the wedding was truly the easiest part of the entire wedding planning process for us. She was extremely helpful and organized, asking questions, giving suggestions and creating a detailed timeline based on what was important to us, but what stood out the most was that she was genuinely passionate about making the day as enjoyable for us as possible. She showed us this by going above and beyond in ways such as offering help and resources completely unrelated to photography, doing her own research, creating polls on her social media platforms to help answer our questions, reaching out to her own personal contacts, sending helpful questionnaires, answering late night texts and emails and beyond. Our calls with her always put me at ease during such a hectic time and turned my anxiety into excitement. Leading up to our wedding, Emily continued to often reach out just to simply check on us and see if she could offer a helping hand (beyond the million ways she already had) which stood out immensely to us. The day of our wedding, having Emily with us was truly like having a lifelong friend there to get ready together. Something so special about her is the way she has mastered the balance between bringing a presence of excitement and a sense of calming to the day. She is able to get the photos necessary without an overbearing energy which many of our friends and family observed as well, mentioning how they wish their own wedding photographers were more like her. We received much praise from our families and friends but also our other vendors as well, for how well she worked with them and how kind and easy it was to spend the day with her. She was not just our photographer, she was a pillar of our day. When you hire Emily, you are really hiring a passionate, down to earth, genuine and professional person who happens to also be an incredibly talented photographer. Sharing two of the most special moments of our lives so far with Emily has been such a blessing. We are so excited to continue to hire Emily for all of our next chapters in life. She has become a dear friend of ours and love any reason to work with her we can get! You will not regret hiring her!

My husband and I are so happy we chose Dean to be our wedding photographer. He left us an amazing gallery of 700 photos to choose from. He has an excellent attention to detail. He came to our venue the day before the ceremony at the time of the wedding to make sure he got the lighting and all of the posed photo spots picked out. He was extremely fairly priced, and did great work with all of the photos we received back. He communicated with us often in the months leading up to the wedding as well as after when we were getting the photos back, even offering some prints to us. He was professional, fun, and friendly. Dean went above and beyond with our wedding photos, and we would be happy to recommend him to anyone needing a professional photographer.

Hi! So you’re getting married and you made it here :) First off, congratulations! Love found your heart, and this is all that matters. I’m Tiago and before being a vendor of your wedding, I want you to keep in mind that behind the camera there is a person, who is more interested in your life story, and in the history of your love to translate it into pictures. With that said, before we talk about photography, we can have a beer or a good wine and get to know each other better. If you are willing to do this and also have elegant, romantic and very natural images, it will be an honor to be part of your life by clicking on your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Russ is an absolute dream to work with! We discovered Russ by sheer luck and we were immediately blown away by his artistic talent as evidenced by his stunning photos! We as a couple aren't regulars in front of the camera, yet Russ made us feel so relaxed and comfortable throughout our entire engagement shoot. We're pretty silly by nature, and Russ capitalized on our playful personalities which completely shine through in our photos. Russ' ability to set up a shot and provide clear direction made the shoot easy, effortless, and most importantly fun! We still can't thank Russ enough for his flexibility and professionalism in scheduling our shoot. Our initial session was booked during a bout of unhealthy air quality in the Bay Area and Russ granted us the opportunity to make a judgment call on the day of the shoot to determine if we should move forward or postpone. We ultimately postponed and rescheduled for two weeks later, but on a whim we asked Russ if he could accommodate us a week earlier, and he cheerfully squeezed us in! Russ connected with us by phone on a few occasions leading up to our shoot, and he was always very accommodating to adhere to our overall vision. We had two locations that are close in proximity to one another in mind for our shoot, and we're so impressed that Russ managed to capture what appear to be five separate locations that offer such a well-rounded framework. We know we'll cherish these special photographs for a lifetime, and we highly recommend Russ for any and all photography needs!

San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Claremont, CA

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Sarah was absolutely fantastic. From the beginning, communication was smooth and effortless, with prompt responses to emails and even video conferences to discuss details. Our photography package included an engagement photoshoot in addition to wedding photography. The quality of the photos from both our engagement session and wedding day was outstanding. One of the highlights was receiving a few 'preview pictures' shortly after each shoot, allowing us to enjoy some beautiful moments right away. The pricing was transparent, and the payment portal was easy to use, making the financial aspects stress-free. Throughout the process, Sarah provided invaluable advice on shot lists and was incredibly easy to work with when it came to posing. If we had a specific idea or location in mind for a photo, she not only took the lead but also enhanced our vision beyond what we could have imagined. She also emailed us ideas and example photos for different locations for our engagement photoshoot, helping us make our vision a reality. On our wedding day, Sarah took many photos throughout our events, including getting ready in the bridal suite, first looks, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, and reception. She was excellent at directing our family members to ensure we got all our posed family photos. Sarah also took some beautiful shots of just us post-ceremony. Throughout the dinner and reception, we felt at ease and relaxed knowing Sarah was there capturing every moment. Beyond the professional aspects, our interactions with our photographer made us feel like we were working with a close friend. She always helped us to feel comfortable in front of the camera, despite us being introverted and inexperienced with being professionally photographed. Her support and encouragement throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding were truly appreciated and added to the overall wonderful experience. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer for their special day.

I'm in love with taking photos and I spend all of my time working on fine-tuning my photography but also getting deeper than just taking photos. I am taking photos with the purpose now more than ever. Its been my years of experience that has helped me develop my photography into art and not just a picture taker. From the moment I meet my clients, I want to know as much as I can. Getting closer to a client really transcends into the photographs I am taking of them and their special day.

Toby was fantastic! From beginning to end, he was very professional and accommodating. He artistically captured our special day and worked well coordinating photos with our large families. We love his edits, the angles, creative shots and all of the special candids! We requested a second photographer and a videographer as well; the entire crew was very professional and skilled & worked well together. He was very detailed in gathering information about the specific kinds of shots we wanted, and it was a relatively high bar given that my wife’s dad is a wedding photographer by trade. Toby did not disappoint, and had good chemistry with our family and guests, even connecting with Dad in the process. We're very thankful to have chosen Toby and his team to capture our special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jason is incredible. He is a talented photographer and storyteller, and a great business person to boot! He is exactly who you want your friends and family to interact with your wedding day. I would highly recommend him to any person looking to capture the essence of their wedding day and of their beloved family and friends. Regarding the business perspective: my partner and I planned our wedding from afar and from the start Jason was responsive and easy to work with. I admire that he didn’t pressure us on hurrying to book the way other photographers did and he made the time to connect with us. He was also able to process photos quickly and with high quality. Regarding the photos: we purchased his engagement and wedding day package and I could not be happier and think he was priced very competitively. My partner and I had previously had engagement photos done with another vendor and their quality was not even comparable to Jason’s. Because of Jason’s photo journalistic nature and our desire to avoid a lot of staged poses Jason built a beautiful story of us and our engagement and wedding day. His photos are striking, surprising, and beautiful. He captured heartfelt moments that I did not see during our wedding, too. Our friends and family are in love with the photos that we have shared with them and we are so honored to have had Jason capture our wedding day. I cannot wait to look at these photos for years to come and relive our wedding day!

Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

Christian and Emilio were an absolute joy to work with from our exploratory communications, to the day of our wedding, and the delivery of our photo's and video. We are forever grateful to have them be apart of our special day. They listened to exactly what we asked for. We didn't want a lot of the typical wedding shots and wanted more candid photos. Not only did they deliver on that, some of the more staged photo's that we thought we didn't need, once we saw the outcome, we were happy that they worked a few of those in the mix ;-). Christian and Emilio totally got our vibe and it translated beautifully in photo's and our video. Our friends and family are still raving about it! Listen, we all know that sticking to a budget while wedding planning is necessary yet one of the biggest challenges BUT they are willing to work with you. I'm not kidding. These gents truly have your best interest at heart and that includes giving you quality work within a budget that works for you. My husband and I have very high standards and are very detailed oriented, so this a very honest review. Cross this off your 'vendors to hire' list and HIRE THEM! Don't even think twice about it.

Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

My favorite thing about photography is capturing the candid “in-between” moments, real emotions, and when people bring their dogs to their shoots. I work with my clients to create memories that last beyond their wedding day, and deliver photos that capture the fun, romantic and timeless moments so you can re-live them for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey is an incredibly talented photographer - she truly "sees" the subject of the photo. She understands their energy, personality, and their comfort (and discomfort) zones. Kelsey has the ability to capture these special moments in time in a photo, that when revisited/looked at after the event, take you RIGHT back to that moment. She is artistic, professional, and consistent with her art and business. She is always exactly where you need her to be, and extremely reliable. She puts the client at ease, even when being in front of a camera is not the most comfortable experience for most people! She is organized in her approach before, during and after the event but never too pushy or overbearing. She listens, observes, and performs at a very high level. Working with Kelsey was a dream, and I feel thankful to have worked with her. I believe the photographer is the most important vendor during the "wedding" process (engagement, wedding, etc.) and I struck gold with Sunbeam!!

Since the minute I found Ally & Andre's website, I knew I wanted them to capture our wedding day. I was instantly drawn to the beautiful contrast in their photos... so of course I had to look up their IG for more info lol that's when I learned a bit about their personalities and it solidified my choice to book them! Heck, we literally changed our wedding date to ensure we could have these two as our photographers! That said... Ally & Andre were absolutely professional, timely, receptive to my requests & photo ideas (we were able to incorporate my husband's harley into our couple's photos!) and they were kind & understanding with any questions we had. Their delivery of our photos was absolutely beautiful... and they have this wonderful touch of capturing special moments w/ their polaroid throughout the day. I could not say enough good things about this couple.. I am SO SO SO happy that we went with Ally & Andre to capture our special day. I highly recommend them to everyone!!

They work with you to ensure you're comfortable before, during, and they are communicative with after the photoshoot while performing final edits to the pics! Before Coordinating a time and place was easy, they're very flexible and timely! During They have a great eye in choosing lighting that best captures your features which is apparent when you see the final product.

In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

To be perfectly honest, I love what I do. I'm damn good at it. I have dabbled in all sorts of jobs but I kept coming back to the camera. It feels really good to take the craft that I love so much and share it. The scope of my photography is wide but I specialize in weddings and elopements. I've been photographing weddings since 2005. I believe in vibing well with your photographer because let's be honest, your photographer will be up close and personal with you throughout your big day so it's important to choose someone whose energy you enjoy and mesh well with. Having a phone or zoom chat or meeting in person is a good move!

Autumn photographed our wedding and absolutely knocked it out of the park! We're so thrilled with how the photos turned out. Autumn captured so much of the fun, emotion and positive energy of our day and we couldn't be happier with the results. Beyond being a talented photographer and artist, Autumn is also both professional and fun--a true delight to work with. She always communicated clearly and timely. She helped us (a couple of self-proclaimed awkward introverts) feel comfortable in front of the camera. And her joyful enthusiasm added to the happy energy of our wedding celebration.

Stop searching for a photographer- you found the right one! Mary was so amazing to work with. She did our engagement shots as well as our “first” wedding (we had a Covid wedding). I was so happy with everything that she did. Mary is fun, creative and knows how to capture the spirit of the day. Her style is soft and romantic and she does not over-edit the final product.

She helped us completely plan the best day ever and I couldn’t imagine having done it without her expertise. I had no clue about permits, where to start with choosing a location, etc. and she went above and beyond to send me a customized list of recommendations on locations + info on each (I would love never even thought of most of them), ideas of things to include, how to customize our day, etc. I could go on and on, but long story short we are just so grateful that we came across Wild Honey Photo and she walked us through planning our elopement and made sure we had the best day ever and the photos to last a lifetime.

They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears.

Between our first video call to make sure we were a good fit, doing her online questionnaire (which was a lot of fun), and the call closer to the big day where Jazmin helped my coordinator and I with the photography timeline, Jazmin was helpful, cheerful, and made me feel so at ease. Booking her for our wedding was the easiest choice I’d made all year! This was our first time having professional pictures taken and we are both a bit awkward in front of the camera but we did not feel awkward with Jazmin. On our wedding day, Jazmin and her partner/second shooter were punctual, organized, and just plain fun to have around! To quote my husband; “anytime we need a photographer for anything, you know we can only work with them.” Importing Jazmin from San Francisco for our DIY Texas vineyard wedding was a no brainer for us, and we’d book her again in a heart beat!

Hi, I'm Veronica, a wedding and adventure elopement photographer who's lucky enough to have documented important moments like your wedding day for the past three years. Before going full-time into this business last year, I was in a totally different field for my day job! I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering from MIT and worked as a systems engineer at Boeing until I quit to put all my time and energy into my true passion - this biz! I love using my creative and technical skills to pause the perfect moments to capture all the emotions, warmth, color, and movement that will bring back that memory in the years to come!

Veronica was our wedding photographer, and we just loved working with her! She's an absolute delight and her photos are amazing. During our engagement shoot, she was incredibly personable and had a great way of making us do these silly dynamic poses that ultimately got us laughing at ourselves. This came out as spontaneous joy-filled candids that just so purely capture how we want to remember these moments. In terms of the actual photography, she comes from an aerospace engineering background, so she has a very technical approach to her work in addition to being overall great to work with. On our actual wedding day, it felt like she blended in as part of the wedding party - she was fun to hang out with and also helped with various odds and ends while getting ready! Everything felt seamless and professional, but also felt like having an extra friend! Highly recommend Veronica - she is such a gem and we are in love with her photography.

Cherlyn is a dream. A friend of ours recommended her to us for our engagement photos and I swear she has some inside scoop with the sun because the lighting was insane (in a good way). She literally managed to find every single shimmer the golden hour had to offer. My husband (never gets old) and I pulled together a somewhat last minute ceremony and reached out equally last minute to see if she was available, and thankfully she was. Our ceremony was followed by dinner and drinks at two separate locations hours apart - so we had super low expectations for capturing the whole day. Cherlyn not only came to each location, she helped with set up, and did her thing making sure every special moment was photographed. She's personable, thoughtful and will go out of her way to make you and your partner feel comfortable. For us she felt like an extension of our community and a new friend. If you're in the SF Bay Area, look no further. You won't be disappointed.

After 10 years and over 200 weddings, I know how to fold into a large group of people, how to be there and make it feel like I'm not. I've been documenting weddings for nearly a decade and I love it even more now than when I started. My work is candid, emotional, and comfortable. I love to infuse editorial and documentary moments into my galleries, but mostly I just love to be able to photograph moments as they unfold.

It’s been a year since our wedding and I still look at the photos Melissa captured of us on a daily basis. When we were going through the painstaking process of planning and budgeting for our wedding, photos were at the top of my list in terms of their importance. Enter Melissa—we met a year and a half before our wedding day when she took our engagement photos and it was basically love at first sight. We felt so incredibly comfortable with her almost immediately and by the end of our session, we were bantering and joking around like old friends. Flash forward to our wedding day—not only did Melissa take gorgeous photos of our ceremony, first look, reception, etc, but she was a support system and that is something that is truly invaluable on one of the biggest days of your life. I can’t recommend her more.

I cannot say enough good things about Keith and his work. In fact, I'm about two months late in posting this review because I've been spending so much time trying to ensure that it perfectly encapsulates how much we loved worked with Keith. This is my best shot (no photo pun intended), but know that my husband and I could go on for pages! We were SO lucky to be connected with Keith by my brother, a former college crew-mate, and even more fortunate that not only was Keith available for our wedding weekend but more than willing to travel out-of-state to photograph our big day. Of all of the vendors we worked with (and there were a lot, even though we ended up having a very small, COVID-conscious wedding), Keith made me feel the most comfortable and totally at ease from day one. He put a great deal of thought and time into his correspondence with me from the very first time I reached out (over a year before our wedding). He was extremely timely in his responses (and still is, even after the wedding!). Even virtually, I felt that we were able to develop a good relationship, which is so important with all of your vendors, but especially your photographer. Keith made every business transaction super easy and overall was just SO good to work with. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Keith continued to demonstrate his patience and empathy as we endured many pandemic related changes. He did not add to that stress at all and his easy-going nature actually put me at ease just days before when I was trying to perfect a timeline for him. The day of the wedding was our first time meeting in person, but it felt like seeing an old friend. He was totally delightful to work with and made both my husband and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera, despite both of us being a little nervous about our modeling skills. Besides being an all-around great person - kind, quiet, thoughtful, intelligent, talented - Keith's photography is out-of-this world stunning. I mean, truly incredible! Monday morning after our wedding, we had tons of sneak peak photos and he delivered our complete album on our one-month anniversary (and remembered that it was our anniversary!) which was several weeks earlier than anticipated. He captured more emotion than I thought possible in EVERY SINGLE PHOTO. We can't stop looking at them, and neither can our friends and family. We cannot wait to book Keith again in the future. Don't hesitate - book Keith today. You won't regret it!

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Having worked with Adam for the past 7 years, it is safe to say he has made the top of my vendor list for photography. Aside from offering classic, iconic and true to life wedding photography, he is simply a delight to work with. As a planner, there are two hallmarks of a great photographer (in addition, of course, to quality work) -- people skills and timing. Adam has the market cornered on both. Aside from partnering with me on crafting a quality timeline so that every shot it covered, perhaps my favorite part of working with Adam is hearing every aunt and mother-of-the-bride try to adopt him. But it doesn't stop there. Be it groomsmen, bridesmaids, or that one tricky family member, everyone drops their guard and falls in love with him before the day is done. The result is authentic and honest wedding photos that freeze those special moments in time. I don't give vendor recommendations lightly, but Adam Kent is first on my list any day of the week.

Hey! We're Alyssa + Alec husband and wife wedding + elopement photographers. Located in Southern California serving ALL couples around the United States. We shoot with intention; for our couples not for our portfolio, creating timeless memories you can relive and relive for the years to come. We work closely with our couples to guarantee a wedding album they've always dreamt of.

We absolutely LOVED having Alyssa and her husband be our wedding photographers! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot we new we had made the right choice. Even though I truly hate being the center of attention and getting my pictures taken, Alyssa made us feel so comfortable so that we could enjoy the day and be in the moment. Leading up to the wedding, she was super responsive to all my questions and when the big day came along everything went so smoothly. Alyssa even fixed my makeup when I cried it all off after the ceremony!! We love our pictures so much. They capture the day perfectly and I don’t think anyone could have given me the simple outdoorsy/elegant summer camp vibe that I wanted except for her. I couldn’t recommend Alyssa and her husband enough!!
