Indigo West 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves East Los Angeles, CA

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Daniel from Indigo West as our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From our first conversation, we loved his calm, thoughtful demeanor and his organic, artistic approach to capturing the day. His eye for composition and detail is exceptional and the photos truly tell a story. As a same-sex couple, we wanted someone who could move beyond traditional wedding clichés, capture the grandeur of our museum venue (complete with dinosaur skeletons) while making it feel intimate, and handle dark, dramatic spaces. Daniel did all of that and more. He captured the energy, emotion, laughter, and joy of the day beautifully. Daniel was efficient but never rushed. He was professional yet playful, and it felt like he immediately understood our dynamic as a couple and with our guests. We trusted his vision completely, and it absolutely shows in the photos. Most importantly, Daniel brought such a fun, relaxed energy—it never felt like he was just doing a job. We can’t recommend him enough.

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
We’ve been lucky to know and work with Randall for a few years. When we finally decided to make things “official” we knew we wanted someone that does great work, that we trust, and would make us feel comfortable. We wanted our day to feel like a relaxed family event and Randall helped with that and so much more. He suggested possible locations that would meet our dream event and times to maximize the best lighting for the area. Once we settled on the location and date, he maintained excellent communication in preparation to the event to properly flesh out the day’s timetable, day of logistics, and post. On the day of our wedding he expertly directed us and our families, using the natural lighting to capture the perfect shots. We would have been lost without him, especially since no one knew how to assist with bustling my dress. During our dinner reception he seamlessly directed restaurant staff to assist in transitioning between meals/dessert/toast for more amazing shots. After the wedding he kept us updated on next steps for our pictures. Randall is truly a gem and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone special to capture their day.

Lulan Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (25 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves East Los Angeles, CA

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.

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.

We loved working with Murtaza and the MKEShoots team for our 6-event Indian wedding, plus engagement shoot. His passion for the art was so infectious, especially since it was our first time doing professional photos. It took us some time to warm up to the camera, but once we did, well, the pictures really speak for themselves. Murtaza especially has an incredible eye for creative photo ideas, and he and the team made it so much fun even though we were stressed out with all the wedding drama. They scoped out noteworthy outdoor locations that made amazing backdrops, helped corral family members together for group photos, and just generally went above & beyond to make sure we had coverage of all the important moments - all the big things and the small details too. The photos we ended up with were beyond what I imagined, I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Now, I just need someone to help put the wedding album together.... :)

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves East Los Angeles, CA

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
To say that I love and trust Stephen's work is an understatement. I live in New York City with some of the most talented photographers in the world available for hire, and my first choice wedding photographer was to fly Stephen Tang to NYC from Los Angeles. I wouldn’t trust or want anyone else for the job of capturing our wedding. We have worked with Stephen before, and I just love his style of work. I also fell in love with his studio work after seeing another couple's engagement photos and wanted similar pictures for our own. Stephen knocked it out of the park. Stephen exceeded our expectations with the wedding photos. We have everything we requested and much more than we realized we needed. It was so fun to relive our wedding through the pictures. The only potential downside of my wedding pictures was I realized that I forgot to take a picture with my grandfather. I felt pretty terrible about it. I received my pictures from Stephen and cried because there was a beautiful candid of my grandfather and I. It was so much better than a posed photo. It captured the essence of who we are. You get what you pay for with weddings. Your pictures are your memories. They live on for generations. It was important to us to have the best photographs, and we knew we could trust Stehen to capture the event beautifully. Stephen went above and beyond our expectations and worth every cent. It won't be 2,000 photos and duplicates of the same shot. He’s going to give you a beautiful, curated story of your wedding. Stephen was also very helpful with looking over my timeline and telling me what was realistic. His experience allowed me to set expectations for what I'd receive, and he did nothing if not exceed them. Wedding days are beautiful. They are intimate, but they are also stressful. I’ve been to weddings where the photographer brings an anxious energy. That’s not Stephen. He’s calm and confident. He also takes charge in a non abrasive way. On my wedding day I needed that. I needed my photographer to be a calming influence and I’m so grateful that I had exactly what I needed. Stephen Tang.

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 Davis Photography was a joy to work with for our wedding photography. Dereck has an incredibly friendly, welcoming, and fun communication style that put me at ease, as I'm usually shy and awkward posing for photos. His artistic eye and casual style resulted in gorgeous, natural-looking photos that perfectly captured the laidback vibe of our wedding day. Even during more orchestrated moments like the family portraits, Dereck kept things upbeat and moving smoothly. His easy-going manner encouraged everyone to relax and enjoy themselves rather than stress about getting the perfect shot. Our wedding photos are stunning yet look effortless due to Dereck's ability to work with the existing lighting and scenery. We felt like we were hanging out with a close friend rather than posing stiffly for a photographer. I wholeheartedly recommend Dereck for wedding photography - his beautiful, joyful images will help you remember the love and delight of your special day for years to come.

Since receiving our wedding photos from Jess, several of my friends and family members (including 2 professional photographers!) have asked me for her contact info because of how amazing her photos are!! 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!

We discovered Gui on Zola and reached out because of his experience with photographing marriages for various cultures and from various backgrounds. Gui's photographs also caught our eye as there were great candid shots to capture the moment and sweet posed ones. When we met with Gui over zoom to get to know each other, he was kind, responsive, and knowledgable. Gui helped put us at ease, and it was a fairly quick decision to go with him after we met. We did an engagement photo session with Gui. He was very flexible when the park we wanted to do the session at was closed. We were able to pivot, and Gui took incredible photos in the new location. Gui also did not pressure us always asking if we were okay with the poses, but adjusting us for better shots. We were so happy with the engagement photos. On the day of the wedding, Gui was prompt and punctual. We took a few shots before the ceremony. During the ceremony, Gui captured all the key moments, but we also received compliments from our guests that he did not distract or take away from teh ceremony. Gui did great with the family photos and was very gracious in the many photos with friends during the reception. We cannot recommend Gui enough. His demeanor helped to relieve any stress around the photos both during the engagement session and the wedding. Gui's experience with many different couples has helped him develop cultural sensitivity which he uses to capture and highlight the unique moments of their ceremony. Thank you so much, Gui, for all your help during the wedding.

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.

Anastasiia Tamarina Photography was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Anastasiia's communication was quick, clear and knowledgeable, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. As a couple of color we had our concerns since we did not see any prior couples of color in her portfolio. However we did resonate with her photography style so we took a leap of faith and she DID NOT disappoint. On the day of the wedding, she was incredibly patient, calm and stealthy as she moved around capturing beautiful moments of our venue and guests. Anastasiia gave us helpful posing cues and brought shot references that paired perfectly with our style. We were thrilled to receive a high-quality, high-resolution sneak peek just 3 days after the wedding, and the full gallery 1 day later. The value and quality of Anastasiia's work exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend her services to any couple planning their special day.
