Honeylume Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves East Los Angeles, CA
  • Offer

What excites me most isn’t just photographing a wedding day, it’s delivering images you’ll come back to again and again. I focus on real connection, genuine emotion, and creating an experience that feels easy and comfortable from start to finish. Sometimes that means quietly observing the day as it unfolds, and other times gently guiding you when you needed. With nearly 20 years behind the camera, my goal is simple: to capture photographs that feel as meaningful years from now as they do the moment you see them. If you’re looking for someone who cares just as much about how your photos feel as how they look, I’d love to connect.

Working with Honeylume Photography was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Lee’s communication was always positive and timely. The quality of his work and overall value was top-notch - Lee clearly takes pride in his work. He was fully engaged throughout the process, making it a fun and comfortable experience for us. Honeylume went above and beyond to ensure we felt like the center of attention during our engagement shoot. Lee gave it his all to capture all the special moments. It truly felt less like a photographer working and more like us just having fun together. We are thrilled with the gorgeous photos that beautifully document the start of our next chapter.

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Randall de Leon Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (50 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

Lulan Studio

Lulan’s creativity has led to his path beyond most conventional definitions. He has won 25+ wedding photography awards, named the Best Wedding Photographer in Los Angeles; while acquired advance degree in immunology and medicine from UCLA.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Lulan Studios about nine months before our wedding day. We were immediately drawn in by their professionalism and their reputation. Lulan is an inclusive photographer who was very receptive to our wedding vision. He and his team were incredibly kind, supportive, and helpful all throughout the process. We elected to go with Lulan Wang himself for our photographer who worked with an associate. After our initial consultation we were turned over to Shannon who was our go to contact for day to day clarifications and vendor contact until Lulan took over just before the wedding. Shannon was immensely resourceful and responsive. She communicated with our coordinator very efficiently and was always on top of our booking. We are very grateful to her as well for making the process so easy and for continuing that communication after the fact. On the day, Lulan and his associate were spectacular. It was clear his associate had more than enough talent for the job just like Lulan, but they divided and concurred by using two different types of cameras for different types of shots. We regret not doing an engagement session with them, but we will likely return for an Anniversary session in the future. We didn’t even need one though, because he is skilled enough that he understood us as a couple immediately. They made us feel comfortable and confident. They hyped us up and moved through the shot list masterfully. Nothing was missed and we captured far more than we expected. Please look through our attached photos as they speak for themselves. One of the most exciting moments was when Lulan handed us a little blue book filled with about fifteen physically printed preview photos DURING THE RECEPTION. A lovely surprise that absolutely shocked me. Turnover was 4-6 weeks and we got ours just before the six week mark right on schedule. We were floored. They are jaw-dropping. We ultimately got 950 photos permanently digitally available for high resolution download and access to a shop with impressive options for prints and albums of a wide array of types and sizes. I’m thrilled to show them to you here and implore you to consider booking Lulan Studios. We trusted in their ability from the beginning and we were not disappointed. They are among if not the absolute best in the business.

Awarded Best of Zola
We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Tom Keene of LA Digital Photo photograph our wedding at the California Club in Los Angeles. He stepped in on very short notice, yet somehow still managed to exceed every expectation we had. From the moment he arrived, Tom brought a calm, professional, and joyful presence to the day. He guided us through poses effortlessly, was impressively efficient with our (very large and lively!) family group photos, and managed to capture the energy and emotion of the entire afternoon so beautifully. Everything felt seamless and stress-free in his hands—something every couple hopes for on their wedding day. One of the most special moments of the day was a quiet conversation we shared with Tom on the patio before dinner. That simple, grounding exchange stood out to us—and the photo he took in that moment is one we’ll definitely be framing. It was such a meaningful pause amid the excitement, and his warmth made it even more memorable. And then there were the sneak peek photos—delivered that same night! We were blown away by how stunning they turned out. If those were just the previews, we can't wait to see the full gallery. Tom went above and beyond in every way, and we’re genuinely so grateful he was a part of such an important day in our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and truly thoughtful wedding photographer. —Sienna & Stephen

From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

I will forever recommend Adam to everyone I know. He's truly is the best out there!

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
From the start Stephen Tang was extremely professional, I found him on Yelp and checked out his work on Instagram. He was extremely prompt in replying when I reached out to him, provided additional samples of his work, and made himself available to discuss the types of shots we wanted beforehand as well as provide his expertise and guidance in framing beautiful photos. After my initial phone meeting with Stephen I knew he would be the perfect fit for our needs and my husband and I are extremely happy with the quality and caliber of his work. We had several phone meetings to discuss our needs, schedule for the day and to help Stephen understand us as a couple. On the day of our event he arrived before the allotted time, he arranged and set up the entire room, and added lighting and equipment before we arrived. Upon our arrival, he was cordial in greeting us, understand what we wanted and needed and did a temperature check. He made suggestions about where we should place things throughout the room to improve the shots. He was very knowledgeable with how and where we should pose for the perfect shot. He made us feel extremely relaxed even during the most stressful situations and helped to redirect family members to someone other than us to handle some hiccups for the night. Stephen was extremely patient, polite and listened to what we wanted and read what we needed. He gave helpful suggestions which shows his expertise and experience. He was a calming force for the night and did an amazing job making our mediocre venue look AMAZING. The photos he delivered were absolutely breathtaking and he was able to turn our average venue into fairytale-like photos. The candid shots he took throughout the night came out beautifully and allowed us to see our event from different perspectives that we otherwise would have missed. Stephen is personable, knowledgeable and professional, he’s able to frame the shots, be respectful and understand the needs of his clients. If you’re in need of a wedding photographer look no further Stephen will capture beautiful breathtaking photos of your day.

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
We hired Dereck for an after-wedding celebration for our son and daughter-in-law and were very happy with the experience and the results. From start to finish, Dereck was professional, responsive, organized, flexible, and punctual. He scheduled prep meetings with me before the event and came fully prepared with backup cameras and batteries—including for drone footage—which was especially important since the couple arrived a bit later than expected. Everything ran smoothly and without stress. What sets Dereck apart, however, is his storytelling approach. He partners with a talented videographer to produce a beautifully edited five-minute montage that captures the essence of the evening. This isn't a music-only highlight reel—it thoughtfully weaves together background music with dubbed audio: excerpts from speeches, guest messages to the couple, laughter, and candid moments. The result was an emotionally rich snapshot of the night—far more meaningful (and watchable!) than the typical two- to five-hour video many videographers deliver. Dereck handled the golden hour and night-time lighting beautifully. These included candid guest shots, posed and portrait photos, and lovely images of the couple alone. His fees were very reasonable, especially when compared to other “content creators” we considered who offered only iPhone footage and music at a similar price point. Dereck’s work was on an entirely different level. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and wholeheartedly recommend Dereck to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only technically skilled, but also an exceptional visual storyteller.

  • Serves East Los Angeles, CA

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
Gabbie is the best of the best! I have been working with her for several years on brand projects and because she has always been such a pleasure to work with, it was a no-brainer to hire her for my wedding. I am all about the details, so I really appreciated her being willing to meet beforehand to understand exactly what I was looking for. She brought all of my editorial/Pinterest-worthy dreams to life! She arrived early, was highly professional, and made my wedding party feel totally comfortable. She perfectly captured moments I will cherish forever, and I could not recommend her enough!

Jess Onesto is an absolute dream to work with! If you are looking for a wedding photographer who will make you feel completely comfortable and capture the most beautiful, authentic moments, look no further. My husband and I have always felt awkward when we have to pose for professional photos. Jess completely changed that experience for us. She seriously made me feel like I was a model throughout my entire wedding weekend. She has this innate ability to put everyone at ease and guide you so naturally that you forget you are even being photographed. Her direction feels effortless, and somehow she captures these genuine, intimate moments. We are absolutely obsessed with all of the photos we have seen thus far (I have included some here)! Every single shot is stunning, and our entire family has been raving about them non-stop. Throughout the wedding weekend, we received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved Jess and her warm presence. She truly became part of our celebration. Honestly, I am already thinking of excuses to hire Jess again for family photos because working with her was such a wonderful experience. I truly cannot recommend her more highly!

Gui was absolutely incredible for our wedding! He captured every special moment we had hoped for and so many more that we might have missed otherwise. There were details and decorations I didn’t even get to fully appreciate on the day, and thanks to Gui’s thoughtful eye, I now have beautiful photos of everything. He went above and beyond, delivering even more photos than promised. We truly couldn’t be happier with his work! The photos speak for themselves, thank you so much Gui!!!

Anya was absolutely incredible! She was professional, kind, reliable, and so easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. She dedicated so much time and effort to making sure she understood our vision and what we wanted out of our photos, and she captured it perfectly, all while making us feel calm, comfortable and relaxed on what could otherwise be a hectic day. Our family and wedding party were all thrilled with her work and how seamlessly she and her second shooter, Courtney, handled everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better photography experience and results. If you’re debating who to hire for your wedding, Anya is the one!

Porterhouse Los Angeles 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,350
  • Serves East Los Angeles, CA

My name is Zyaire Porter and I am the photographer of Porterhouse LA Weddings. Born & raised in Los Angeles, I have been capturing weddings professionally since 2013. I answer every email myself (no bots or assistants).

Awarded Best of Zola
Porterhouse LA did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. Zyaire was artistic, punctual, and precise. We received our photos very quickly after the wedding, and are absolutely in love with them. We’ll treasure these for the rest of our lives, and have had so much joy from sharing them with others. The comments we’ve received have all been about how beautiful the wedding looked, how good everyone looked, and how gorgeous the photos were overall, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Zyaire met with us over Zoom twice before the actual wedding, and took every one of our concerns and questions seriously. He had a good answer to everything, and it convinced us that we were dealing with a consummate professional. We also asked him to shoot our welcome party for guests, and he was able to oblige with that, as well. We first met him in person for the welcome party, and he was already there when we arrived, getting background shots of the venue. This was something we hadn’t even considered, but it was really valuable - having shots of the venue, and the venue for our wedding, helped put the other photos in context for people who weren’t able to attend, and gave us mementos of the locations themselves.
