Your wedding day is your most significant chapter, and it deserves to be captured with uncompromising care.

I focus on preserving the raw, unposed beauty of your day, ensuring you remain fully present to enjoy your once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

From our first conversation with Leah, we knew we had found our photographer. She was quick to respond to questions and made us feel heard throughout the entire planning process.

We cannot recommend Leah enough—she's an absolute gift to Santa Barbara, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Awarded Best of Zola
Zara was highly recommended to me by a wedding planner friend, when I was looking for someone to come do some art capture and branding photos, at a mural I painted. Zara was lovely, and worked to craft exactly the package I needed. I am pretty new to photo shoots, and she was reassuring and a delight to have around, and did a lot of guiding me to get the shots she knew I wanted, during the shoot itself. Thanks Zara!

Bedrosian Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (37 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves East Los Angeles, CA

I’m Peter, the guy behind Bedrosian Photo. I photograph weddings, people, parties, emotion, chaos, and all the weird little moments in between. I care way more about honesty than perfection — the nervous energy before a ceremony, your drunk uncle on the dance floor, your grandma crying quietly in the corner, or the split-second look your partner gives you when they think nobody’s watching. Those moments matter more than anything staged ever could.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Peter and his team for both photo and video, and we couldn't be happier. Our wedding was a 14-hour day with over 350 guests, and he handled everything effortlessly. His time management, calm energy, and overall vibe made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Peter has an incredible eye for all the little moments—looking through our gallery truly feels like reliving the entire day. He captured everything beautifully, from the big moments to the candid in-betweens. Thank you, Peter, for caring so much about our day and giving us memories we'll cherish forever. Highly recommend Bedrosian Photo to any couple looking for someone who genuinely goes above and beyond.

Randall de Leon Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (51 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves East Los Angeles, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
10/10 would recommend randall!! We booked him for our engagement shoot and wedding and we are beyond appreciative and impressed. RDL is the only photographer my husband and I could agree on. We liked his photography style, the quality of the work, the price, and his personality. He even guided us with the timeline to make the most of the time and photography. For both the engagement shoot and wedding day, he guided us and made us feel comfortable. We’re def not models but he made us look great! We were able to get some posed shots and some Candids. He was PATIENT with us and didn’t make us feel awkward at all. The day of the wedding, I got so many compliments from our families with how they appreciated his presence. He kindly directed people and was patient with us and our guests. Def professional guy and just honestly a good personality. He’s also priced well. Def recommend booking a consult and booking him for your events!! You won’t regret it

Aladdin Films Studio - For more than 20 years, we've been changing the Wedding Video industry, making every viewer watch and listen to our couples' love story, with their heart and soul. Leave it to us and make the 2nd best decision of your life, after choosing to marry your loved one, of course :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently received our photos and video package from Aladdin Films and we couldn't be happier with the results. Their documentary film was extraordinary—it let us relive our wedding day in a way that felt genuine and special. The team responded quickly to all our questions and kept everything professional from start to finish, which made the planning process smooth. Towards the end of the night, we realized we never signed our marriage license. When I asked Ali if they could stay for a few extra minutes to capture those moments, they agreed without hesitation. All our photos and videos came back on time and are truly beautiful. One thing we wish is that they had been a bit more assertive when organizing our family photos as we didn't end up with every shot/ family groupings requested on our list. We do have a larger family which can also lead towards more chaos as you can imagine. Of course part of this was a timing issue as all photos with bride and groom together needed to be done within cocktail hour as we did not do a first look. Overall, Aladdin Films delivered exactly what we needed to remember our special day and we were absolutely thrilled with our choice to work with them. I would definitely recommend Ali and the team going forward.

Both Reigna and Isaac are extremely kind, enjoyable to work with, and truly gifted at their craft. Their friendly disposition made everyone in our wedding party feel comfortable right away! When you book with The Jaramillo’s, you’re getting far more than beautiful pictures; you are getting professionals who encourage you, truly care about all the details (regardless of how small), and command the room to get all the shots you want in a highly efficient manner.

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.

Stephanie Hanno Photography specializes in fine art wedding photography with a documentary and photojournalistic approach. Southern California based but travels worldwide. Capturing your special moments to last a lifetime.

I messaged Stephanie a couple weeks before my proposal and I can tell just by direct messaging how helpful she would be. She was very supportive in my idea and also added some great ideas of her own. I see people often talk about how photographers could’ve done better or they wish how their photographer would’ve done this or that. With Stephanie my fiancé and I were able to come out with everything we dreamed of and more. She took the perfect amount of initiative through the whole process. I can speak for both my fiancé and I when I say we were blown away by not only the quality of the actual photos but just how unique they were. We fell in love with so many of them it was the hardest thing to try not to post every single one. I’m looking forward to working with her again on future family photos, events and most importantly memorable moments.

From the first email to the final delivery of our wedding photos, everything was handled with so much care, professionalism, and heart. Connery has an incredible gift for turning real-life moments into cinematic memories. What really impressed us was how he paid attention to the little things—a subtle look, a soft smile, a quick laugh—things we didn’t even realize he had caught until we saw the final photos. And let me just say, the editing was flawless. The tones, the lighting, the composition... every image looked like it belonged in a magazine. Beyond the artistry, Connery was just amazing to work with—friendly, responsive, and calm under pressure. He made us feel comfortable and at ease and somehow made the whole experience feel effortless. If you’re lucky enough to book him, do it.

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. 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 more than a photographer, he basically helped me plan my elopement. He talked me through the pros and cons of various locations, and helped me think through the process of obtaining a license for photography. He took time to understand that we were striving for a simple, but intimate wedding; he was patient with our cranky 2 year old; and endlessly gracious with our elderly parents who were along for the ride. Importantly, my husband and I are terrible at being photographed (we are awkward) and Stephen made us feel at ease with our surroundings. I would hire Stephen again in a heartbeat.

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot give high enough praise to Gabbi and her assistant Nick. Our other photographer backed out last minuet and we are SO lucky that Gabbi was available. Communication was super easy and all of the pricing was transparent and easy to understand. On top of all of that, the photos from our wedding are just stunning. I'm so impressed at how Gabbi and Nick always seemed to be exactly in the right place at the right time to capture every single special moment. If you can book Gabbi, you should. You will not be disappointed!

Welcome. I'm D e r e c k. I've been doing photography and videography since 2017. It wasn't until the pandemic of last year that I decided to take a leap of faith and make it a full-time career. I feel like I've always had a burning passion for photography and editing, I love photography because it captures a moment in time. Whether that moment is your wedding day or an annual family portrait, pictures enable us to relive and remember special occasions again + again. Why I specifically dove into Wedding Photography? Simple!! My love for creativity and seeing passionate couples that aren't afraid to show their personalities

Awarded Best of Zola
Dereck is an incredible photographer and provides very personable, professional, and timely services. I was pleasantly surprised he agreed to drive far and meet us in person before I confirmed for him to my photographer at my wedding. When we met, my husband and I felt very at ease with him as he was patient, professional, and kind. The payment process was very smooth and easy and he was clear about what would be included in the package. Dereck spent time to reach out and collaborate with me before the wedding to discuss expectations and timeline, so it calmed my nerves that he was organized during this stressful planning process. On the actual wedding day, Dereck had injured his ankle, but was clearly hustling despite his pain/injury and walking around the spacious venue to get not only get shots of my dress and personal items, but also running back and forth between bride/groom’s rooms to capture the intimate moments before the ceremony. He was committed and willing to explore the entire venue to capture photos in different locations to offer various background in our photos, which we appreciated. My husband and I are camera shy, but Dereck was very skilled in directing us in what kind of poses work best. Throughout dinner, he captured photos of all our friends/family table-by-table before taking his own meal break. Dereck provided the final photo and video product in a very timely manner and was much quicker than what I had heard from my other friends’ experiences (they said they had waited 6 months for any photos), but I only waited 6 weeks, which is completely reasonable. There was an issue with delivering the final USB, but Dereck was so dedicated he was willing to drive, once again, very far distances to drop it off at our home. After reviewing the final photos and videos, we are more than satisfied with the final product. He delivered exactly what I had asked for regarding a more dramatic effect in the teaser videos and audio vs. solely music over the highlight video. My husband and I had a super fun time laughing on our couch going through all the photos, watching all the clips, reliving the best night of our lives, and being able to watch our friends enjoy our wedding. Dereck provided numerous very well-edited photos that either fixed the lighting or captured different focuses and provided so many videos, which we truly enjoyed. I would highly recommend Dereck’s services!

When we started looking for a wedding photographer, we knew that we needed to find someone with a great eye for candids, who wouldn't make our pictures feel too staged, who had a fun/funky vibe like us, and who could handle wrangling my extremely large family (full of very opinionated people) for family photos, and Jess handled everything with ease! I feel so lucky that we found Jess, and I cannot recommend her more. Jess made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding day, and even gave guidance to family members who are normally awkward in photos (e.g. suggesting ways to pose to make them more comfortable). Jess went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, checking in with us, getting to know us, and even coming to a venue walkthrough so she could get a sense of the space! I am so grateful for all of the work Jess put into our wedding, and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I rarely even like photos of myself, but I honestly am so in love with the ones that Jess took that I jump on every opportunity to whip out my phone and share them with friends!

I have known Jordan for a while as an event photographer and wasn't sure if he did grad pictures, especially for groups. I was pleased to figure out that he does grad photos too and is extremely flexible about it! I had a group of around 11 people, and he was able to give me quick responses about the rate, which was an absolute deal. Jordan really cares for his clients and makes sure that everything is discussed before the event, including an itinerary. He was extremely flexible if we needed an extra hour and potential location itinerary changes. Coordinating 11 people for a photo shoot is not easy, but Jordan managed to do it with ease, attention to detail, and efficiency! Thanks to his expertise and creativity with poses and shots, we got some amazing solo and group shots that we will remember for a lifetime. He magically makes the experience very efficient, but is also not afraid to have fun! Highly recommend!

Anya Kay Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was clear, respectful, and incredibly responsive - they made the entire process seamless. The quality of their work is simply stunning, with a stylish, meaningful, and creative approach that perfectly captured the spirit of our special day. We asked that Anya focus on candid shots of our friends and family, and she delivered beautifully, preserving all the joy and energy of the celebration. We also requested some key moments be captured in a specific artistic style, and the results were breathtaking. Anya and her team were also incredibly attentive during the family portraits, keeping a large group organized and at ease. And the film photography - wow, the rich, romantic tones are simply exquisite. We are thrilled with every single image and could not recommend Anya Kay Photography more highly.
