Ben Straily Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Costa Mesa, CA

Hey there, I'm Ben! I believe photography is not just about clicking the shutter at the right moment. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotion, the feeling, and the story behind it. My style is all about telling stories of love, laughter, tears, joy, and all the beautiful chaos in between. Just like your wedding day, every photo shoot is a unique, amazing, and important experience. That's why I pour my heart and soul into creating and capturing the special moments that make each photo shoot memorable. I'm not just taking pictures, I'm crafting narratives. We're not just making photos, we're making memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Ben for both photography and videography at our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From our very first phone call, where he carefully went over every detail, to the time he dedicated to planning the schedule with us, everything was handled thoughtfully and professionally. On the wedding day, Ben was organized and a pleasure to work with—our guests loved him. He captured so many beautiful, genuine moments that we’ll cherish forever. The final photos and video turned out amazing: natural, authentic, and professionally edited to perfection. We highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for outstanding photography and videography services and will absolutely work with him again for future events.

We’re Tucker and Alyssa, the husband and wife duo behind Wyld Story. We specialize in storytelling that feels honest, effortless, and deeply you. We believe wedding photography should feel like hanging out with friends who just happen to have cameras. We’re here to document the real stuff: the belly laughs, the happy tears, the in-between moments that matter just as much as the big ones. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just you, your people, and all the magic that unfolds when you’re fully present on your day. We offer soft direction just to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tucker and Alyssa were awesome. They flew all the way to Geneva (Switzerland) and, even though they had never seen the wedding location(s), they nailed it, producing dream pictures and an awesome video. So how did this all happen… where do I start? When my fiancee and I were planning our (Covid impacted) wedding, we were not really sure how to fit in photography and video… We had almost given up on the idea until we got in contact with Tucker and Alyssa. On extremely short notice, they planned the trip, and delivered, 110% on expectations.

I'm Diana, the photographer behind Love and Latitudes Outdoor Wedding and Adventure Elopement Photography. My husband/officiant, Isiah, and I are here to help you plan the intentional wedding of your dreams. 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!

That’s it! If you were teetering on the edge of hiring Diana and Isiah, go ahead and take the jump— you will not be disappointed. 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!

  • Serves Costa Mesa, 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 made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

Hi, I’m Annie! Welcome to HoneyAnne Photography! I'm based in both Southern California and Virginia—sounds a little unusual, I know! My photography style combines the timeless elegance of editorial imagery with the heartfelt authenticity of documentary photography —each gallery is designed to feel like your favorite magazine spread or Pinterest board! I believe that everyone deserves beautiful, film-inspired photos that capture their story. HoneyAnne Photography was inspired by the golden warmth of honey. Much like the taste of honey is comforting and sweet, I want your experience with me to feel warm, inviting, and unforgettable.

HoneyAnne Photography was a delight to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was clear, bubbly and friendly, which made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. The quality of their work was truly amazing and worth every penny. They went above and beyond to contribute to our special day, bringing fun props, scouting the venue ahead of time to find the best spots, and even drawing inspiration from our vision. We found Annie online and were immediately drawn to her whimsical and stunning photography style. Once we started chatting, we hit it off right away - she is so personable and easy to talk to. We booked her for our engagement photos and had a blast doing a fun picnic-themed shoot. I have already recommended HoneyAnne Photography to another bride, and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

I’m a wedding photographer who believes the best moments usually happen between the planned ones. My approach is relaxed, candid, and people-first, focusing on real laughs, genuine emotion, and the kind of moments that can’t be recreated. I’ll guide you just enough to keep things comfortable and natural, then step back so you can actually enjoy your day while I quietly tell the story as it unfolds.

We love working with Daniel (the "D" in Wesley D Photography) so much that he the only photographer on our preferred vendor list. He is reliable, cheerful, and does a WONDERFUL job of capturing special moments. He has photographed numerous weddings and other special occasions for us and our clients, and most-recently photographed a ticketed Father's Day BBQ at our venue. His past work for us has always been amazing, but the Father's Day pictures are truly special. We emailed them to all of our event attendees as a special thank you gift - needless to say, receiving his pictures was the cherry on top of the ice cream sundaes we served that day.

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

Erin is a 12/10 and worth every penny. She was so kind, attentive, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She made it a point to get to know my husband and I as a couple, and was always a text away to answer any questions I had. Her work is absolutely STUNNING, and exactly what we were looking for: colorful, natural, editorial, and candid. She is the best of the best I wish I could get married again just to have more photos!

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Nadia and Gunnar! We met with them ahead of time at a local brewery and quickly learned that they would be a great fit. Their photography style is bold and beautiful, and the couple is very professional and easy to work with. It was so hard to narrow down our selection because there were soo many great shots! I can’t wait to work with them again some day! Highly recommend!

"Who's that girl, it's Jess!" Hey guys, I'm Jess! I love all things New Girl, The Legend of Zelda, and Broadway Musicals! I like to describe myself as Jessica Day, minus the really talented singing voice, but just overall kind of quirky and nerdy. I love capturing love stories, and fan girling hard core over all things wedding! If you need someone who is going to help you walk through your planning process, I'm your girl! You can also catch me binge eating tacos and ice cream while editing until 3am!

If you are thinking about it, just do it. Jessica was absolutly amazing. Our photos or to die for! Not only is her work amazing but Jessica is literally the sweetest. I am not photogenic or comfortable in front of a camera and Jess and her team made me feel comfortable. We booked her along with Micah and Rebecca films and they are the perfect pair. Jessica was so helpful on our wedding day and make everything amazing. I have zero complaints. Our guests loved her and her team and had amazing things to say. I was shocked looking though my photos when I saw photos of things I never thought I would ever receive. I have a photos of almost every guest who attended our wedding. It is unreal! Jess made planning for the day so easy and picked up our timeline when my venue and planner dropped the ball. Her and her team saved the day and when things got stressful the day of, the were calm and acted like a shield for us from everything going south. Truly her work is amazing and she is worth every penny and more. Book her, add hours, and enjoy. You cannot go wrong.

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.

Hi! I'm Ria, but my friends call me Ri. I'm a Southern California based photographer traveling worldwide for weddings, elopements & love. There's nothing that makes me happier than making other people feel fucking GREAT about themselves. I care about eternalizing your story, no matter your race, gender, sexuality or body type — i’m here for you.

If I could give this girl more stars I would. Her work is incredible and I had high expectations for my wedding (because she killed it for my engagement photo shoot) - and man did she blow it out of the water. I felt like I was reliving my dream day when I looked through my gallery - and cried so many times I had to call my mom. Her photos are best in class, and she's the most fun, down to earth person to work with. She made me feel so comfortable the entire day - even though it was 100 degrees outside. I can't recommend her enough, she's a rockstar photographer.

For us, it is all about documenting your day as it unfolds. We are believers that the best photographs come from letting everything flow. We don't believe in interrupting special moments to get a safe (posed) photo. On the contrary, we capture all moments: the fun, the crazy, the unexpected. We will get your dad in tears when he sees you in your wedding gown, and will also take your nephew in the middle of a tantrum. All that is part of your story. When you see your photos in 5 years, you will remember how your special day FELT and not only how it looked. You don't have to worry about photos, you just have to enjoy your day at the fullest.

I am a documentary wedding photographer blended with an editorial approach, and I aim to capture those special moments naturally as they unfold. I'm inspired by the genuine affection my clients have towards each other and look to document & craft your wedding photos with a candid eye. I don't want to dictate your day but let you enjoy your day. I may suggest small things like shooting portraits when the light is perfect, such as when the sun is going down, or I'll suggest taking a moment to embrace your partner & remind you to be affectionate on your wedding day. It's how I ensure you get beautiful natural images full of emotion.

Jesus was our wedding photographer for our special day. From our first interaction, Jesus showed confidence in his experience as a wedding photographer. He took the time to understand what I imagined my wedding photos would look like that is how he carefully planned, & captured my wedding photos. Jesus arrived 1 week early before the wedding day to scout out locations, shared photos with us, and seamlessly incorporated them into our timeline. We felt like we not only had a talented photographer, but also a day-of coordinator who helped ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He made sure we not only captured the photos we would love but also took the time and went above and beyond to take care of us as people, offering to get water and making sure we had drinks or food. Ive never had an experience with another wedding photographer but I imagine its not a level of service thats common in the industry. The variety and quality of the final photos exceeded our expectations, and we are extremely happy to have such beautiful, and meaningful heirlooms from our celebration. We highly recommend Candid Moment Photo to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

Although I’ve been shooting for over a decade, ASP launched full time in April of 2015 as an all encompassing business and became a Corporation - Strong Smith, Inc. in 2018. Since then, I’ve been beyond blessed to : - Document nearly 450 sessions - Document over a 100 weddings - Receive almost 250 FIVE STAR reviews on multiple platforms - Published nearly two dozen times

I highly recommend Ashley as your photographer. I first came across her work from another friends wedding, and I specifically loved her editing/the way she captured light in her photos! The photos we received did not disappoint. I've been struggling to narrow down which ones I want to print and frame in our home. I loved the app we received within a couple days that had a bunch of previews--more than enough options to choose from for an initial Instagram post! Ashley was so sweet to work with, and made sure to capture everything we discussed in our calls leading up to the big day. It was so fun going back through all the photos after and seeing how many group/family photos she was able to capture of our guests as well. I feel like the day was documented so well and we kept getting compliments from our guests about how great Ashley was. During our guest table photos she was so efficient, but also checked the photos to make sure no one was blinking etc. before moving on to the next grouping!

I became a wedding photographer in a not-so-usual way. I remember telling my girl scout leader that I actually hated any arts & craft we did. Fast forward to many years of sports, and the pivotal moment of entering college, I switched to photography one semester in after realizing my current Marine Biology major was not for me and decided that was where I was headed. It landed me in wedding photography after a few classmates asked me to shoot their weddings. And since I’m a romantic and all…it was a perfect fit from the start. Something you should know about me is that I love all people, deeply. “Love your neighbor” is what I strive for.

Katie is one of the amazing few photographers I refer in Souther California. Her unique style and professionalism make her stand out above the rest. I love working with Katie any chance I get!
