Photojournalistic Wedding Photographers in Dana Point, CA

As a wedding photographer, I see myself as a storyteller, capturing and sharing my clients' unique narratives through powerful images. I find the greatest joy in documenting genuine moments of love and excitement, preserving cherished memories that will endure. To achieve this, I prioritize creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, where my clients can freely express their true emotions. This fosters spontaneous laughter and authentic connections, which I believe are the heart and soul of photography.

Hello there! I'm an Austin, TX photographer and I'm loving every minute of it! Some might say I am the perfect mix of introvert/extrovert. I love staying home but also always want to go explore new places! I love telling your love story as uniquely as you are! I can't wait to turn our time together into an adventure!

I started photography years ago as an elective in college and I never knew what it would become. I've always maintained full time jobs (I've been a graphic designer and special education teacher) but my passion for photography kept me pursuing it on the side. Eventually I became so consumed by my efforts that I was able to go full time in my business. I care deeply about my clients. Not only do I want you to have a great time but I want you to love your photos. I work tirelessly on always growing and refining my craft to deliver the best, most timeless photos.

Hi, hey, hello! I’m an ATL based photographer, I DO travel. A little too weird, more about quality than quantity, good vibes, and better moments. My editing buddies are my five dogs who are always flabbergasted I can’t give them my undivided attention 24/7. I’m not great at ‘selling’ myself so my brand is simply being me. I am INCLUSIVE AF. Xx

I'm passionate about the experiences that make life special, and I think your wedding deserves to be captured authentically and with care — both the quiet and unseen moments as well as the heart-stirring, spectacular moments. When I shot my first wedding 11 years ago, I discovered my passion for storytelling and the joy of being invited into the most important moments of someone’s life...and I’ve never looked back! Even 100+ weddings later, I still get so excited and a little teary eyed with each new couple I meet.

Hello I'm Jodi with Jodi Hutton photography and I have been a wedding photographer for 14 years. We love love, and capturing all the ways it's different and authentic between each of our couples. Moments in my life have shaped the way I am a photographer, and I love giving you peace of mind because we know what's important to you.

Moments. Details. Emotions. These are the things that define you, your life and your most important events. How do you want to remember them? My approach is to be as non-invasive and invisible as possible. The less you know I am there, the more reality I am able to capture. I do not want to be a director. I want to be an observer; a documentarian; most importantly, a story teller. Each moment in your life builds a story. That story deserves to be relived and passed on. i want to help you remember those moments, those details, those emotions that make up your life.

If you are here, then you are probably on the hunt for a fun photographer who can bring out your genuine smile and capture tons of candids on your wedding day. I'm Kellianne Jordan, a photographer, art lover, photographer, wife and mom. I've been photographing weddings for over 15 years and I love being able to make people laugh so you can let your hair down and have fun! I also love Friends (both the show and my own), Disney & coffee! Let's grab coffee and get to know each other.

I am where I am today because of dance. I used to be a part of competitive dance team before I fell in love with visual storytelling. After a while of being in front of the lens for photo shoots and dance videos, I ended wanting to switch sides and start documenting my life and those around me. I still get happy feet when I hear the right song, so you best believe I’ll be dancing with you on the dance floor. If can already guess, dancing at the reception is favorite part at any wedding.

A few years ago I was in your shoes, except, I didn't get the images of my dreams. I got a photographer for our wedding day, and I had no idea what I was doing. On the day of my wedding, my photographer made me feel stressed and uncomfortable with all the posing and lack of communication. And when I got my images back, I wasn't happy with the results and there wasn't anything I could do about it. That's why I'm here for YOU! Because your wedding is more than just a day with some photos.

Hello, I'm Ruth! I've been photographing love stories, happy memories, and fleeting moments for over 12 years and I have adored every moment of it. I'm based in sunny Palm Springs, but love to travel around southern California. Some things I love: plants, harry potter, thai tea with boba, my cats+dog, and couples who trust me with their memories.

When it comes to my business I have two major “whys” that fuel my passion. The first is my family. I’m a single mama of 3 and I have been so blessed to work as a photographer full time. This has allowed me so much time freedom to be with my children during important times and live a very fluid lifestyle. While I love my children I have always been passionate about people and my career. Photography allows me to meet the coolest people and create amazing things over and over. I love working with my clients to bring something new and capture memories that show who they are. Weddings are so special and I’m so grateful to get to be a part of them!

You just have to live and life will give you pictures. The first time I saw the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson, I knew photography was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life! His mantra is exactly how I approach wedding photography. I want you two as a couple to enjoy your wedding, having the best day of your lives, and amazing photographs will come from your joy.

Thankfully, you can consider that search over. I am here to share and create beautiful imagery that shows everyone what makes you special.

It’s life’s simple moments that really get me inspired. Endless sun soaked walks with my pup Ollie + husband Michael, thrifting, vegging out on the beach until I've lost track of time, coffee shops with pals, testing out a new vegan recipe, or sharing a glass of wine with the people that I love. I live for the small, slow, nostalgic moments. Growing up, I was a quiet observer, always dreaming and creating. My desire to photograph + document grew so organically, and now I'm lucky enough to say that I have been photographing professionally for nine years, and truly never see myself stopping.

Hi! I'm Katrina, but my friends call me K. ​ I shoot a mix of film and digital on your wedding day. I LOVE capturing real-life moments and telling the truth through photo and video. I think you should know that I don't do a ton of posing and directing (only when I need to). My focus is on the emotion thats naturally unfolding in front of me. There's a TON of it, so why step in and change that? I bring a calm and relaxed energy to your day, allowing you to soak in every moment and be present. Photos don't have to be a checklist on your wedding day, I prioritize whatever YOU want to do on your wedding day and I capture that.

Hi! We’re Tyler & Lindsay Gipe. We’ve been married 12 years and have two spunky daughters, Penny (8) and Willow (6). Tyler is from Huntington Beach, California and has been taking pictures for over a decade. He got his bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts Media with a Photography emphasis from UCSD. I (Lindsay) am from Nashville, Tennessee and graduated from Biola University with an English Writing degree. We’re so grateful to have each other - our interests are shared and improved upon, like photography. Taking pictures and writing stories became something we both do and love. Together we help people remember the best days of life.

A little bit about me so you feel like you're connecting with a real person- I'm Emily. I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and so I love animals and nature. I love thrift stores, tropical plants, and horses. I live with a little tribe of wildmen- my husband, my two year old, and our cat who is probably part lion. I have a counseling degree and that has really formed me as a photographer. My film guy is my husband Zach, and we met in a library. He knows five different ways to brew coffee and can play six different instruments.

I am a lover of love and adventure. I am a pretty down person (I free dive with sharks so if that doesn't say something...) I moved to Hawaii in 4 hours notice and quit my corporate job to chase my dreams and here I am! I'm a bit of a minimalist like to think I'm pretty fun. I'm an ocean conservationist and use my skills to also educate people about human impacts and ways to make shifts in our own lives in order to help the planet. I am really big on quality over quantity. I would rather deliver a handful of WOW photos over a ton of average photos to fill a number.

My name is Trung, the head honcho at this eponymously named company. My name is pronounced “Troon”, which sounds like spoon, so ignore those other letters that make life complicated. I've been a photographer for close to 10 years, photographing things big and small, far and wide. It's pretty incredible how impactful and valuable a split second image of a given time, place, person, or object can mean to a person. Whether it's a photograph of someone you love or a place you'd love to be, photographs spark memories or inspire the pursuit of new ones and that's why I love it.

I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

Hi, I’m Jamie. I’m a Cincinnati Ohio based wedding & elopement photographer with a suitcase packed for anywhere. You can usually find me exploring a new coffee shop with my pup Scout & husband Ryan. Wife, was a role I never really strived for. Even when I was young, instead of planning my wedding with barbies, I was a dreamer planning how I was going to move to NYC & become a famous artist. I was of the mindset that my plans would be soiled if I invited someone else into them. What I've learned is that with the right person, exploring never stops & marrying Ryan has been my greatest adventure yet.
