Intertwine Photo & Video

Intertwine Films is a photo + video team capturing weddings as they actually unfold. Real moments, real energy, zero forced vibes. We focus on connection over perfection, movement over posing, and stories that feel lived-in, emotional, and timeless. If it felt big to you, it matters to us.

Everyone tells you the same thing when you’re planning a wedding, your photos matter. And honestly, they’re right. Working with Bryan and his team was such a great experience from start to finish. From the very beginning, Bryan took the time to really understand our vision and walk through the flow of the day, which made everything feel organized and stress free. On the wedding day itself, he ran the photo side like a pro...so calm, confident, and always paying attention to the details, especially lighting and timing, to make sure every moment looked its best. My husband has a background in photo/video, so our expectations were high, and they absolutely delivered. The quality of the images, the editing, and the final presentation completely exceeded what we imagined. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends, family, or anyone who wants their day captured beautifully.

We offer a personalized experience backed up by more than 33+ years in business delivering high quality, creative photography and video on time and within your wedding budget. We are experts in photojournalism, offering couples an unmatched level of value for their wedding photography and video services.

Awarded Best of Zola
Eivan's photo and video services were very affordable and were a major reason why we went with them. I think the photos we received turned out very well and captured many of the amazing moments that we had at the wedding. The service we paid for only included one photographer and one videographer but they were both very attentive and made sure to be where the action was the entire day. Overall, the experience was positive and for a bride who was more focused on living through the experience of her wedding, Eivan's did a good job of handling the stuff you don't really want to think about.

My name is Haley Wilde and I am a digital and 35mm film photographer based in Southern California. I specialize in all things surrounding love because I am a sucker for a good old fashioned love story. I would absolutely love to not only capture you love, but truly celebrate alongside you. I was a wedding planner for 3+ years prior to photography, so my knowledge and genuine passion for the wedding industry and serving my couples sets me apart from other photographers!

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Haley enough for your wedding photography needs! We discovered Haley through Instagram and were immediately impressed by her work. From our very first interaction, Haley was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Haley made the photography aspect seamless. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but Haley's friendly and calming demeanor put us completely at ease during our engagement shoot. She took the time to understand our personalities and preferences, which really showed in the photos. On our wedding day, Haley was a true professional. She was patient, took initiative when needed, capturing all the most precious moments—from our first look with our grandparents to our private vows. The photos turned out beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the way she documented our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures stunning images but also makes you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process, Haley is the one. Whether it's engagements, weddings, or any other special event, Haley's talent and dedication shine through. Don't hesitate to hire her—you won't regret it!

Salut lovebirds! I'm Hannah, and I shoot avant-garde wedding photography for creative & bold lovers all over the U.S. and beyond. My secret sauce is the way I document candid, natural moments that make a wedding day unique... paired a bit of bold, editorial imagery to boot! Stoked you're here. Let's connect! xx

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah is the kind of photographer who genuinely gets excited about your vision and makes you feel supported from day one—her proactive communication and enthusiasm set the tone for an incredible experience. She captured exactly what we were hoping for with our non-traditional celebration, creating authentic moments that felt effortless rather than forced, and she was flexible enough to adjust our day-of schedule to ensure we got the shots that mattered. What really impressed us was the editorial quality of her work; she delivered a remarkable variety of images that told our story in a way that felt both creative and uniquely ours. Our guests loved interacting with her during the party, which speaks to how she brings energy and approachability to every interaction. The opportunity to collaborate creatively with Hannah made the entire process feel like a partnership rather than a transaction. We're 10/10 recommending her to any couples who want photography that goes beyond standard coverage.

It is such a joy to be around couples celebrating the best day of their lives. Every time I'm behind the camera, I'm reminded of why I love my job.

Everything was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a better team! Highly recommend their services!

Steve Cowell Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Costa Mesa, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,650

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

Awarded Best of Zola
Steve did our engagement photos, family photos, tea ceremony photos, and wedding photos for us. He makes you feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera and the photo results show it. He is not only kind and engaging but take absolutely stunning photos. We hope to use Steve again in the future!!

Nick Cruz Photography, LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Costa Mesa, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

Nick is such a fabulous photographer -- he captured every big and little moment of our special day. He put us at ease and made us feel comfortable on a nerve-wreaking and exciting day. The photos are some of my favorite of my entire life. He's amazing!

Karl Verkade Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Costa Mesa, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,200

A 14-year veteran wedding photographer who has seen it all...and still loves it all. Every moment is unique, and moments are what you really want. Every touch, every moment, every smile, is its own story. I love telling your story from my artistic and unique form of expression, and I make it look good and natural. As if I'm not there, but capturing every second. And not just the poses, but the real, true, authentic moments too. And I promise (grooms, I'm looking at you) to make it fun.

100/10 Karl was the absolute best, would hire again. We had a less than traditional wedding that people only understood when they got there and he rolled right along, giving us stunning photos that will save the day in our memories for our whole life time. Karl is professional, highly skilled, and absolutely a pleasure to work with. He did an excellent job talking through all the wedding day details with us and even helped us decide on realistic times of when various things should occur.

Hey there! My name is Katie and I am a part-time photographer and small business owner. My veins are filled with iced coffee and, most of the time, all I want to do is dance. Unlike most, I began my photography career later in life during my college days where I discovered film photography. I spent countless hours in the dark room developing photographs in chemicals and I loved every minute of it. I would describe my photography style as bold and true to color. My favorite part of photography is capturing moments that tell a story so that no matter how much time passes, you can go back and relive that story over and over again.

Katy was very creative and professional. We are so happy with her work and will be using her for all of our photography needs!

Awarded Best of Zola
Not only is Jesse so talented, he is also so kind and caring. Taking pictures can be so uncomfortable and he really put our nerves at ease and directed us in a way that resulted in epic photos. I would 100% recommend him. We also added on video services and I’m so glad we did. I cried within thirty seconds of watching the highlight video he made. It was so well done and something I will cherish forever. He also guided us on the timeline for our wedding so we would have the best lighting and that was really important as we had the time of sunset wrong and we had booked the ceremony at the wrong time. Because of Jesse’s expertise we were able to adjust everything in time before we sent out the invitations.

We had pictures taken when our daughter was 2 months old and our son was 5 years old. They were so good and patient with the kids. At one point, I had to stop and nurse my baby and they were so flexible. They even took a few pictures of my husband and son making the most of the time while everyone waited. Now we enjoy getting to look back at those pictures and the sweet memories. Wyld Story captured that time in our lives perfectly!

As full-time vanlifers, we are always looking for the next experience—no drive is too long or winding to stop us from our next adventure!

They make every step of the process simple and even go out of their way if you have questions about permits and park rules. When my husband and I decided to elope in Death Valley NP, we found the Love and Latitudes blog and quickly knew that they were going to be a perfect fit. Isiah was a wonderful officiant, working with us to get a script that we loved and answering questions about getting the license. Diana was a clear communicator through every step, and the photos speak for themselves. We will definitely work (and hang out) with them again if we get a chance!

Alex Shevchik 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)

  • Starts at $999
  • Serves Costa Mesa, CA

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are beyond thrilled that we chose Shevchik Production to capture our wedding day! Alex and his team showed incredible professionalism and attention to detail. They sent us a questionnaire to understand all our preferences and scheduled several calls to go over every aspect of the day. Honestly, they cared about the locations and logistics even more than we did, which made the whole process so smooth. Our venue was quite dark, and we were worried about how the photos would turn out. But the team came fully prepared, bringing professional lighting that made everything look amazing! The photos and movie turned out bright, emotional, and absolutely stunning. We also received a luxurious, oversized wedding album with beautiful prints. Flipping through it brought tears to our eyes – it’s absolutely breathtaking! If you’re considering an album, we recommend ordering a second copy for your parents right away – they’ll love it just as much, and it’s worth it to avoid reordering later. Alex, we wish you and your team great success. You truly create magic, and we couldn’t be happier!

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

Cassy has photographed our engagement, wedding, graduation and maternity photos. This review is long overdue. She’s so communicative and professional. She’ll make you feel comfortable right away and knows her stuff. She takes beautiful photos. You won’t regret going with her for your photos for any occasion. She’s awesome and just a super nice person and wonderful photographer. For our wedding, she went above and beyond and got so many great photos. Do it, go book her now.
