Meet with your Photographer. "The most important thing for me is to create a feeling with my bride and groom, in order to have the best approach on the D-day, and to respect a professionalism, a dress-code, or a planning while keeping the pleasure of capturing these unique moments for my clients."

Oleg and his team are THE MOST talented video/photo team I have every met and worked with. A lot of trust goes into finding someone that can capture your day for a lifetime of memories and we are BEYOND THRILLED to have chosen ZayaEvent. We met with Oleg for the first time and he was so detailed and excited about what he does. It made us excited to work with him! We sent inspo on what we wanted for our engagement shoot and shared what our vision was for our wedding. He captured it all perfectly! We chose to do our engagement shoot at The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. Oleg was on time and made the experience so much fun. I am very camera shy but he made us both feel very comfortable and captured candid moments of us purely having fun. On our wedding day, Oleg and his team arrived and conquered it all! They were a joy to work with and soooo organized. They created a 1-min movie-quality video for us the next day and returned some photos as a sneak-peek. I CANNOT WAIT to see everything else he captured from our special day! I would work with Oleg and his team over and over again!

Steve Cowell Photo

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.

Nick Cruz Photography, LLC

5.0

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.

We had the best experience working with Nick (and Mackenzie) on our big day. I cannot recommend Nick Cruz Photography enough! All of our photos are so beautiful and exceeded our (high) expectations. We could not have asked for better photos or a better photographer. Getting married during COVID meant a lot of last-minute changes in plans and Nick was so supportive and willing to work with us to make sure we captured all aspects of the day safely. And he is so personable - we had a total of 13 people at our wedding, so it was a very small group, all immediate family, but he fit right in! He was super organized and had a shot list to make sure we didn't miss any typical wedding photos. His website for photo delivery makes it so easy to view/download photos and he got us some sneak peaks super fast. Overall, we had such a great experience with Nick and plan to use him for all other big life events that require photography! (He also did our engagement - those photos were amazing too! He worked with my husband to pop out of the trees and capture the actual proposal.)

I believe strongly that relationship and connection with the people we're shooting, comes across in the camera and our team is sought after for our ability to draw authenticity out of my subjects. Chemistry is important. You want to trust and like your photographer and that chemistry allows for me to draw things out of you that wouldn't happen if your photographer was someone you didn't connect with.

Kaitlin Mace Photo

Anaheim, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,600

Your wedding album transcends time as a cherished heirloom, destined to be passed down through generations. Each detail of your special day merits an exquisite capture, narrating your unique love story with grace and authenticity. Our approach ensures that your wedding remains a celebration of love and not merely a production set for photography, preserving the essence of your day in a luxurious and timeless manner.

I don’t even know where to start, I can’t remember how I came across Kaitlin’s business but I’m so glad I did. She couldn’t have been sweeter. I was on a tight budget and after I received her pricing (which was very fair) I let her know it was out of my budget and she immediately offered to work within my budget and talk through what we could do. I also had my heart set on a videographer and she brought in her friend Nicole, they made the best team and worked so well together. They even offered to meet me for coffee and see the first look spot so I’d feel more comfortable the day of. Fast forward to the important part, Kaitlin is calm, professional, and truly wants the best for what you want during your special day. She does not pressure you to get a shot that doesn’t make you feel comfortable because she wants you to remember the parts of the day most important to you. We received sneak peek photos within 24 hours which was so impressive and they were beautiful, it had me counting down the days until the full album was done! We loved our photos and our friends and family had so many great things to say about them as well. You won’t regret hiring Kaitlin!

Thank you for stopping by my website! My name is Yuki, and I am a photographer based in Southern California. Since I was little, I've had a camera in my hands wherever I go, and it has been my passion to photograph unforgettable moments. My influence came from my father who is a semi-pro photographer and videographer in Japan, and his journalistic photography style encouraged me to anticipate the moments and capture natural impressions. The moments I capture become the past, but what inspires me is seeing people’s reactions to the photographs I take. It is my hope that these moments become timeless. Often clients tell me that having a photo can bring back the feelings and memories of that moment, which is why I launched Yukipix Photography, LLC.

I’m Adam—a Boston native who’s now roaming around California photographing everything I see. When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks. I got my first film camera when I was 8, and it was love at first sight. Capturing your story is more than just a job for me. From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wish I could give 6 stars out of 5. Part of my job involves reviewing photography, so my expectations were high and requests were specific. Adam blew me away. He was a ray of sunshine on the day of the wedding, putting everyone at ease and keeping energy up. He got all of the shots we asked for any so many more beautiful shots on pure instinct. He was seamless, efficient, specific, and subtle where needed. And the final result? We've cried looking back at our photos, bowled over by his ability to capture the emotions of the day. Everything from nervousness to glee to nostalgia is palpable in our album. We felt gorgeous, we look gorgeous in the pics, and we've informed our siblings that when they get married, they WILL be hiring Adam. His rates were very fair and his open printing policy is perfect for us. He's a no-brainer!

I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephen was a delight to work with throughout our engagement and on the day of our wedding. He is a calm, cool, and professional photographer who was always supportive of our ideas and able to lend fantastic input regarding posing, setting, and album design. Stephen always had incredible and talented assistants who were able to find tremendous shots at both our engagement and wedding shoots. The quality and style of his work were exactly what we were looking for -- more candid and 'in-the-moment' than posed and portrait-y (though we certainly got plenty of family portraits too!) We would be very happy to work with Stephen again for any future photography needs.

My husband and I have never taken professional photos before our engagement shoot with Ashley and were nervous about how "awkward" we would feel or look in front of the camera. If you are like us, do not worry, because Ashley truly has the gift of making everyone feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera from the start. Her work is breathtaking (literally when I opened our engagement photos and wedding sneak peaks -which she gave us in less than 24 hours!- she took my breath away). Her photography perfectly captures the genuine love, happiness, and personality of each couple. She is who you want capturing your life’s most precious moments. Why? Because her photos make you fall in love with your love all over again and will let you hang on to that “just married” feeling forever (speaking from experience here) As for our guests - let’s just say every single guest from our wedding was raving about Ashley! I could go on and on about Ashley, but in summary, I will recommend Ashley over and over again. She is the photographer that we will choose forever to capture the most important milestones in our lives. Ashley, you’re our photographer and friend for life. Thank you so much for capturing our love, joy, and happiness!

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Serving the Southwest region including Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and California, we are ready to capture your moments and provide you with professional videography and photography services that will leave you breathless

We are so glad we found Jazz for our elopement photography in Vegas. After initial enquiry and chat over email, Jazz arranged a Zoom call so that we could 'meet' her, which we really valued as it was so important we picked someone we truly vibed with, especially as we had no family or friends joining us so photos were all we would have to share with them. Jazz did an amazing job of capturing us and the Vegas vibes we really wanted. Her photography style really suited our colourful aesthetic without being too harsh or vibrant, exactly what we were after. Jazz kept things fun and light, she had hilarious tactics to make us laugh at the right moments (required for two awkward Brits like us haha) and she chose excellent photography spots based on our mood board. We couldn't recommend Jazz more!

She’s able to capture the vibe you ask for, and if you’re unsure, she can still figure out how to make something stunning.

I have traveled and photographed weddings and engagement shoots all over the country including internationally. I still get nervous before every wedding I photograph. If I didn’t have nervous tension, I probably would have lost the drive and passion for what I love doing the most. The reason for my love of wedding photography is simple: I love spending the day with brides and grooms creating wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. I hunt for moments that cannot be recreated or relived. I love capturing the raw emotion of a wedding day. I want to be the best not only for myself but especially for my clients.

We highly recommend hiring Pete for your wedding day! A great experience from phone consult all the way to the delivery of photos and videos. Pete was super easy to talk to and very thorough in discussing the process and what to expect on the wedding day. He helped talk me through a good rough day-of timeline on the phone as well. On the day of him and his team were promptly on time, professional, and super fun to work with! The bridal party all had great things to say and his organization and professionalism ensured that the day flowed smoothly (and also made me feel super relaxed and easy going about things). Pete was flexible when timing was running behind (on our end) and made it work where we still got in the photos we needed to. He also was super great about fixing my dress for photos so that it would look great. His crew was super fun and it was an overall great experience. Captured so many little moments that were special and significant! I have nothing but positive things to say and would definitely hire him again in the future and highly recommend you do too! After the wedding he got photos back to us quickly and worked with me to make sure we liked the content and music of the highlight video. He was available to answer any questions I had and is just a great dude in general, everyone really liked him and several people came up to me to say that the photographer and team were awesome! Thank you Pete! So glad we worked together and we wish you all the success and good things in life!

I believe that love inspires art. Your wedding day will most likely be a blur of joy, nerves, and excitement with some extraordinary moments in between. Using both film and digital mediums, I balance a combination of both editorial and photojournalistic styles with a fine art approach. This collaboration will allow you both to fully enjoy each and every moment, as we tell the story of your wedding day. Wedding photography is an investment that lasts a lifetime, it’s the part of your wedding day that lives on. This is your love story, told in a classic, authentic, and timeless way.

Not enough positive things can be said about this lady - she is just phenomenal. She made the whole day so smooth & really listened to what my Fiancé and I were looking for in our photos. She gave us suggestions & just made us feel so comfortable. She is also like the ultimate hype girl - she made me feel so beautiful all day! She just goes above and beyond in every aspect of her job - she really prioritizes her couples. She made sure to ask in advance about what photos were important to us, what group shots we wanted, and what we wanted our timeline to look like. She arrived early, she left late, and ran on all cylinders the entire day. Oh and our engagement photos were beautiful & made us both so comfortable with her on our wedding day. I can’t say enough good things & I believe I found both a friend & photographer for life!

June of 2012. Just two months after my mom was critically injured and hospitalized. I began using my camera as an emotional outlet. I started taking portraits for family and friends, and eventually, photographed a courthouse wedding. As time went on, it hit me: These photos are freaking important! And I knew from personal experience that these moments, & the people in them, aren't going to be here forever. That camera became so much more than an outlet. It gave me purpose. And now I see my job as an act of service to you. I'm honored to use my talents and skills to deliver what really matters: TANGIBLE MEMORIES OF YOU & THE ONES YOU LOVE

I truly do not even know where to begin regarding my experience with Alyssa and her team at Alyssa Morgan Photography. Over the past 2 years planning our wedding, Alyssa became much more than a vendor; she became a friend and trusted wedding planning confidante. From the moment I met her on my first wedding planning scouting trip (we live in NJ and had a destination wedding in Islamorada), I KNEW she was the photographer for us. Her photos clearly speak for themselves (I mean come ON, they are like something out of a magazine), but her personality (awesome), knowledge of the area (she is a Keys native, which is SO important when having a destination wedding in my opinion – you need someone familiar with the lighting, the locations, etc.), and her overall expertise in the industry (she even coaches other photographers!) truly make her worth every penny. This girl is worth her weight in GOLD and MORE. Alyssa photographed our engagement shoot almost 2 years ago, which helped us to get to know each other more. She knew how to make my then-fiancé laugh and even SMILE in front of the camera (which is not his favorite place to be) and make us look like supermodels in the process. We have her shots of us hanging all over our home because they are too beautiful not to show off. Despite COVID, missing out on our additional wedding planning trips due to the pandemic, and the overall unknown that was our wedding over the past year (we were worried we would have to postpone, cancel, etc.), she was virtually by our side every step of the way. Keeping us filled in on the state of the Keys, helping us troubleshoot obstacles, and keeping me calm in the process. When it came to our wedding, obviously as a bride it is a very overwhelming and nerve wracking day, but when Alyssa and her team of Kat (2nd shooter) and Kurt (videographer – we never even wanted a videographer until Kurt jointed her team and I saw his work and I am SO glad we decided to do it!!!), I instantly felt better. She worked with me and our planner before the wedding to put together a detailed outline of the day, photography timeline, important shot list, and she even helped me pull off a surprise first look for my fiancé with his best man dressed in a wedding dress to calm his nerves too! The day went off seamlessly, she coordinated us, our family, friends, bridal party, extended family to make sure every shot we wanted was taken. We got our sneak peeks back within days and my *husband* and I spent the remainder of our minimoon entranced by them! I always told Alyssa that photography was THE MOST important aspect of my wedding (I am a huge picture person) – and we COULD NOT BE HAPPIER that we chose her to shoot the most important day of our lives. We WILL be returning to the Keys and look forward to Alyssa shooting things like our anniversaries, pregnancy photos, and family photos in the years to come. **In summary, if I can just drive home just one point: IF YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED IN THE KEYS AND NOT USING ALYSSA FOR PHOTOGRAPHY: YOU. ARE. DOING. IT. WRONG!**

I love the love!! I am a hopeful romantic! I channel that when shooting weddings, elopements and engagement shoots. I look for the small gestures between you two while you interact, the way you look at one another in utter comfort and confidence, the way you laugh and crack each other up! I love observing how couples embrace and find each other's nooks. This is your person, the one that you can be your complete self with, how cool is that! It sounds corny, but being a wedding and elopement photographer really is a privilege.

Melissa did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! She is so talented at finding great shots, working with the lighting, and keeping things fun! She was extremely easy to work with, and so flexible when changes happened. She also made sure to check out locations in advance which helped a lot in saving time on the day. She is great at keeping timelines and fitting everything in... and made sure we got photos with everyone there. The pictures came out so beautiful!!!

The number one thing I would recommend is when she asks for your shot list - spend time giving her exactly what you want - even if that means holding off on completing the questionnaire until closer to your day so that you can make sure you capture everything you want. She 100% uses her shot list to work off so it will be important. Also she is a huge plant fan and great person. We had never met her before our day and I can tell you we connected with her more than we expected. We can’t wait for the future so we can go back to Vegas and shoot our anniversary shots with her at the Neon Museum - because she freaking kills it every single time!

Hi, I am a multi-cultural wedding photographer, with a taste for bold and vibrant imagery, authentic moments and a dash of glamor. Emotions drive my passion for the art form, and human connections guide me. Born and raised in another hemisphere, I have traveled since. Everywhere I went, my camera allowed me to capture the story behind the people I met & the cultures I observed. I bring the same drive to my wedding photography, where every couple, every family, and all the cultures and traditions I come across, have a different story to tell, and I have the privilege to witness and capture it all!

Abhi is incredibly great to work with! Super professional and always fun. I love his creativity and he communicates really well; which I can appreciate.

Betsy is a lifestyle, wedding, and music photographer based in Los Angeles. She discovered photography as a creative outlet while studying theater at USC. Shortly after graduation, Betsy was hired as the tour photographer for Maroon 5 and documented 34 concerts across the country. Since then, Betsy has been on the road with One Direction, One Republic, Charlie Puth, and most recently Trevor Noah. Betsy's eye for candid moments and storytelling has led to photographing weddings around the world. She lives for documenting life and love through the lens. Betsy looks forward to hearing from you and bringing your vision to life!

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (over 2 years after my engagement photos were taken) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Betsy all the love and praise she deserves. Betsy photographed our engagement photos and would have done our wedding as well if she wasn’t already booked. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Betsy previously and she was always so fun, easy to work with and matched my energy on every level! She gets so excited when she knows she is ‘getting the shot’ that you can’t help but get excited too. I had a very specific vision for our engagement photos and she was 100% on board to make it happen. I love the photos so much and will treasure them forever as they document a very exciting time in our lives. I absolutely love working with Betsy and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

I am honored that you have made it here and are taking the time to look around to see exactly what I have to offer; from wedding photography to elopements, to couple sessions, or anything else you feel the need that deserves to be documented! My heart is extremely full at the fact that I get to wake up everyday and call this my job! I’m a Nashville wedding photographer with a big passion for travel.

Saul is beyond amazing to work with and genuinely great company during the photoshoot. He makes the shoot feel so natural and effortless. We absolutely love our photos. Our jaw dropped when we saw our couples session photos. They look like shots out of a movie scene! It means so much to us that we could have our special moments captured so perfectly for us to keep forever.

As a child all, I can remember was carrying around one of those Fujifilm cameras and taking photos of family and friends. I always really liked taking photos and having those memories to look back on. Fast forward to 2017, I decided to take my hobby of photography seriously. I learned the ins and outs of photography, learned how to run a successful business, and learned the proper camera settings all on my own. Here I am years later running my business full time and I love what I do. I live and breathe photography. I know this is what I am meant to be doing.

We first booked Sheila for our engagement photos and knew instantly we picked the right person. Her bubbly personality made her incredibly easy to work with and she always did whatever she needed to do to get the best shots. Our engagement and wedding pictures were stunning and we got nothing but compliments from family and friends about her as a photographer and her pictures. We were a bit worried about who to book with and who would be lgbt friendly but Sheila was perfect! We would recommend her to anyone. I can’t stop looking at her photos of our wedding!

True Nikon user with over a decade of experience in the photography industry, also graduated with Baccalaureate in Photography from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Diploma in Photography from CEPT School of Architecture and Design, India.

Stavan was an amazing photographer for my wife and I. He was so responsive throughout the process, and we planned our wedding for over 9 months in the middle of a pandemic, so there was need for LOTS of communication! Stavan and his assistant were unbelievably professional. He took incredible photos and got them back to us before we even finished our honeymoon! We would highly recommend Stavan for any project or photography need. He was a pleasure to work with, and the finished project was better than we could have ever expected!

We are a Husband & Wife team currently based in SoCal but will travel to Las Vegas as well as any other state in the U.S. What is “The Lou Effect”? Well The Lou Effect is actually a quote my wife would say to me before going to shoots. Before heading out she’d always say “show them that Lou effect”, so from there the name was born. Essentially the goal is to always make every shoot as creatively unique as possible, by showcasing key moments from small details to those big wowing moments to truly tell your days story. But ultimately the desired “Effect” is to leave our clients with smiles on their faces and satisfaction in their hearts.

We just recently worked with The Lou Effect and they made our day go so smoothly and easily. Our photos and videos are amazing, we are amazed at how wonderful they are and thankful they were there to capture our day in such a beautiful way. I 100% recommend and 100% would book again for any event

NOT AN IMAGE OF PERFECTION. PROOF OF PRESENCE. I feel strongly that everyone can and should feel beautiful. I hate the idea that some are photogenic and others are not. Helping you feel like your truest and most beautiful self in your photos isn’t just something I do for a job - I do it because everyone deserves images that make them feel that way. It’s my privilege to preserve the beauty of your humanity. ALSO you're in love! You're fun! You're investing a lot, so it shouldn't feel like a chore or checklist item in your story. It should feel like playing dress up with your best friend and a random lady that is nice to you (me).

I can't shut up about Rachel. She is confident, diligent and personable. The effortless cues and small adjustments and suggestions she makes while shooting never leave you thinking "What should I do now?". I recommend her to absolute everybody.
