Loes Takes Clips 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves El Cerrito, CA

I'm a photographer who loves, love and being able to share that through my lens is what drives everything I do. I have a deep adoration for storytelling and capturing the authentic, unscripted moments that matter most. I believe every love story is unique, and my goal is to bring excitement, ease, and a calming presence to your most important day. With a passion for preserving real emotions and meaningful memories, I aim to capture photographs that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

Logan has been a good friend of mine for years, so asking her to photograph our engagement shoot was a no-brainer for me. Her natural ability to bring any vision to life, mixed with her unwavering work ethic, is what sets her apart. I can tell her one idea I have, and she will effortlessly create something better than I could have ever imagined. We have a 1965 Corvette in our family that I thought would be cool to use as part of our shoot. I trusted her to tell us where and how we could incorporate it, and she brought our vision to life. She goes above and beyond, even standing in the middle of the road in Carmel-by-the-Sea as cars try to pass, to bring that vision to life. Also, we are far from naturals in front of the camera. I always rely on Logan to give us ideas for how to create movement and relax. Working with someone so kind and able to make you feel comfortable is crucial, because it not only creates an outcome you will love, but you will have fun doing so as well.

I started shooting photos and video in Greece, and since moving to the US, I have dedicated myself to shooting weddings, elopements and engagements. I love being able to capture the love that my couples have for each other and the unique energy each couple has. I am always down to shoot in new locations and find the best place for my shoots!

From our first contact with Te Dua Weddings, their communication style was quick, relatable and reassuring. The quality of their work was truly elegant, personal, elevated and storytelling. They had a calm presence throughout the day and even helped carry my dress train when I was worried about it getting dirty. It felt like the Te Dua team was there not only as a vendor, but as friends who wanted our wedding to feel personal and seamless. They really cared about us as clients rather than just getting the shot. The video was delivered fast and beautifully, capturing all the special moments of our day. We could not have asked for a better videography team to document our wedding.

We hired Vic for our wedding photography, and she was amazing to work with from start until finish. She was mindful of what we were hoping for, and went above and beyond to make our day seamless while capturing the moments most important to us. We truly appreciated her communication and timeliness throughout the planning process and especially on our wedding day. We opted for her package that includes an engagement shoot—which we highly recommend—it was a great opportunity to get more comfortable in front of a camera (which my husband and I are not typically used to) and we love those photos too. She sent the initial portfolio to us quickly after our wedding, and then edited them beautifully. We couldn’t have asked for more, and will cherish the memories she captured forever.

We not only worked with Natalie for our wedding, but also for our engagement shoot and our mini-ceremony a few months before the wedding, so we felt like we really got to know her and her shooting style. She's very kind and flexible about her vision and yours and is more than willing to work together with you to make your dream photos a reality. We chose her because we loved her photography style and her general demeanor during our first meeting with her. We liked that her photos remain true to color, with a little softening but not too much! Her direction for positioning was super helpful and felt natural. She was very accommodating of all requests, which made us feel heard and we love all of our photos! We had not planned to work with Pedro as well for our wedding, but extenuating circumstances meant he was with Natalie day-of. He's also very kind and accommodating and together they make a really great team! We would love to use them for any future photoshoots.

Thomas is the best! He is unbelievably talented and his communication throughout the entire process was clear, professional, and reassuring, which made everything so smooth and stress-free. He captured every special moment beautifully and from all the perfect angles. The photos are stunning and feel so natural and timeless. We’re so grateful to have these amazing memories to look back on, all thanks to his talent and eye for detail. He also included an engagement shoot that we had a couple of weeks before the wedding and those pictures are just unbelievably beautiful! He will tell you which poses to do and guide you to make sure the pictures come out perfect and natural. The number of pictures that he delivered was insane, and they’re all amazing! He sent over some pictures the day after the wedding and sent the complete list of pictures just a week after the wedding, which is an insane turnaround! He also had a couple of small cameras lying around and gave them to bridesmaids to capture their perspectives of our wedding. Thomas was the perfect person for the job and I highly recommend him if you’re looking for the absolute best wedding photographer! Several of our family and friends told us he is the best photographer they have ever seen as they watched him sprint all over the venue throughout the night to capture every single moment of our magical evening. That’s enough of me talking, you can take a look at some of the pictures he captured, his work is the best I’ve ever seen and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him!

Kin Photography was truly the perfect choice for our wedding, and we feel so grateful to have had them capture our day. From the very beginning, their communication style stood out—they were warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. Every question we had was answered with patience and clarity, and they made us feel completely at ease throughout the planning process. It felt less like working with a vendor and more like working with a trusted friend who genuinely cared about our experience. On the wedding day, Kin Photography exceeded every expectation. The quality of their work was simply breathtaking—every photo was beautifully composed, with flattering angles that highlighted not just how we looked, but how we felt. They managed to capture the joy, laughter, and emotion of the day in a way that still moves us when we look back at the images. What amazed us most was how they seemed to be everywhere at once, catching every little detail and candid moment without ever feeling intrusive. They went above and beyond in so many ways, even staying later than scheduled to ensure they didn’t miss a single shot. That kind of dedication speaks volumes about their professionalism and passion for what they do. From intimate portraits of us as a couple to heartfelt photos of our family and friends, Kin Photography gave us a collection of memories that we’ll treasure forever. Beyond the photos themselves, they made the entire process comfortable and fun. We never felt awkward in front of the camera—in fact, they made us feel beautiful and confident, which is such a gift on a day when emotions are running high. And then, as if all of that weren’t enough, we were surprised with a custom USB drive containing our photos. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch, and it made receiving our images feel even more special. Looking back, we can honestly say that Kin Photography contributed so much to making our wedding day unforgettable. Their talent, kindness, and genuine care shone through in every interaction and every photo. We couldn’t recommend them more highly to any couple searching for a photographer who will not only deliver stunning images but also make the entire experience joyful and seamless.

Every wedding is unique, and I’m passionate about creating images that reflect your story, personalities, and love in a way that feels natural and unforgettable.

Adam is so much more than a wedding photographer. From the very beginning, he became a meaningful part of our entire wedding experience, not just someone there to take pictures. He brought a calm presence, a thoughtful eye, and an incredible ability to be in the right place at exactly the right moment. What sets Adam apart is how deeply he understands people. He didn’t just capture images, he captured emotion. The joy, the love, the quiet in-between moments, and the beauty of the day were all honored in a way that feels authentic and timeless. Every photo tells a story, and together they reflect the heart of my daughter’s wedding in the most beautiful way possible. As a parent, I cannot overstate how much it meant to know those moments were being cared for with such intention. Adam elevated the day simply by being part of it. If you are looking for someone who will truly see you, your people, and your story, Adam is that person. We are forever grateful for the memories he preserved for our family.

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

Jenna was recommended to us by another photographer and it was such a pleasure to work with her! We greatly appreciated how much she wanted to know us and our personalities in advance of our wedding day. We ended every zoom call or email exchange feeling confident in our decision to work with her. The weather on our wedding day wasn’t very cooperative, but Jenna and team were on the lookout for any break in the rain so that we could go up to the roof and get a few pictures. And she totally nailed them—they are some of our favorite pictures from the day. Jenna and team made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and also captured some incredible candids. If you’re looking for a fun, positive, and easy-to-work with photographer—Jenna is the right pick!

I’m an introvert-extrovert and tend to ramble too much when I get nervous. In emails - I tend to use exclamation points a lot!! (and will agonize over my drafts of emails before sending them because they probably have one too many!!) My aim as your photographer is to provide a memorable experience where you two feel comfortable, taken care of, and get to fully enjoy your wedding day as much as possible with all your guests & loved ones - whether they be in real life or via livestream!

Cherlyn was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer. It was reassuring to have someone with Cherlyn’s experience and knowledge with us before our ceremony at SF city hall, it made us feel more prepared. She confidently navigated the space and guided us through our photos. I had some anxiety around being photographed, but right away Cherlyn made me feel comfortable. I genuinely felt like we were in good hands the entire time and I’m grateful she was part of our day. The sneak peek photos Cherlyn sent us so far are absolutely beautiful, I could shed a happy tear each time I look at them. She captured our day so perfectly. We are excitedly awaiting the development of our film photos and super 8 video. We cannot recommend Cherlyn enough to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer who makes you feel completely at ease.

From the get-go, her friendly and smiling personality made us feel like we were hanging out with a good friend rather than just working with a vendor. She just has such a great vibe!

I'm Hannah, a full time wedding and portrait photographer in Livermore, California. To me, photography is so much more than just hiring another vendor. And that's why you should choose someone you truly love to work with! I believe the real magic happens during the in-between moments – a secret smile shared by the parents; a tearful hug with the maid of honor; a quirky moment with the best man. These memories are far more precious than any staged photo, and these are the memories I want to capture for you on your big day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about how happy we are we hired Hannah as our wedding photographer! Once I saw her work I knew we had to work with her immediately, specifically for the sunset photos that looked right out of a bridal magazine! I immediately reached out to Hannah and pretty much the rest is history! Our phone call to gauge if we would be a good fit was filled with laughs and it just felt so natural! She was extremely communicative and easy to work with which helped with all my wedding planning anxieties tremendously. The engagement shots with her was where we first got to meet and it felt like meeting a true friend. She had us laughing non-stop and made us feel truly comfortable. We felt awkward on our drive over, having never done professional photos before, but she immediately put us at ease! On the day of the wedding Hannah and her team were so kind, so efficient, and so professional! We had a large (read here rowdy) wedding party and some difficult family dynamics that they expertly navigated. Their team made sure everyone just truly was themselves and had fun! The pictures showed just how comfortable and happy everyone was in her presence. The photos truly captured the spirit of our big day and transport us right back there every time we look through them. Our family and friends we have shared the photos with are absolutely amazed and just how well they turned out and how much they feel like our big day did. I cannot recommend Hannah and her team enough! Truly the best decision we made!

She approaches each session with a calm and collaborative energy that yields relaxed and natural photos. She was able to capture our day so authentically. Not only is she excellent on wedding day but she's responsive and organized leading up to it. She was diligent on creating and executing a shotlist and even added in some family portrait combinations that I missed on the first round. Her thoughtful process makes you feel like a priority and I knew my vision was safe in her hands. Her work is phenomenal and she's an absolute pleasure to work with.

Hi, I’m Hayden! With over 300 weddings captured, I take a journalistic approach to photography, documenting authentic moments as they naturally unfold. I shoot with both film and digital to create timeless, heartfelt images that tell your unique love story. With a go-with-the-flow mentality, I will capture moments as they come and turn them into beautiful memories.

Hayden was absolutely fantastic! Not only did he bring his own camera and film to contribute to the retro vibe of our wedding (photo attached), he worked perfectly with our friend and videographer to get some incredible shots of my wife and I. His demeanor and humor made it so much easier and more fun to take photos and really set us at ease. He posed us in such a natural way that didn’t feel awkward at all and the photos were absolutely stunning. To top it all off, he saw my groomsmen and I setting up chairs for the ceremony and he pitched in to help us carry them! I cannot recommend him enough, he’s the man.

I'm a passionate photographer who finds joy in collaborating with creative minds to capture extraordinary moments. By day, I channel my expertise into high-quality construction work, while my artistic pursuits in photography allow me to explore my creativity and connect with others on a profound level.

From start to finish, working with Will was so refreshing. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he also has a truly artistic eye that brings every photo to life. Every single image he delivered was stunning, beautifully composed, full of emotion, and captured with such an authentic feel. What really stood out to us was how effortless and seamless the entire photography process felt. Will has this calm and warm energy that instantly put us (and everyone else) at ease. During the bridesmaids' photoshoot, he created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere - it honestly felt more like hanging out with a friend than posing for pictures! He encouraged us to be ourselves, let loose, and enjoy the moment, and the result was a set of natural, joyful, and candid shots that we’ll cherish forever. It felt like Will was genuinely part of the celebration — laughing with us, hyping us up - you could tell he genuinely loves what he does and was fully present with us in the moment. His enthusiasm was infectious, and it felt like he was celebrating right alongside us, which made the whole experience even more special. He was also incredibly patient and professional throughout the day. Never once did we feel rushed or staged, he took his time to get the right shots while making sure we stayed present and enjoyed the experience. I genuinely cannot recommend Will enough. His talent speaks for itself, but it’s his personality, passion, and dedication that make him truly exceptional. If you’re looking for someone who will not only take beautiful photos but also enhance your wedding day experience, Will is 100% the one. We’d recommend him a million times over!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jess. We used her for not only our engagement photos & wedding but our pregnancy announcement, maternity photos with both my babies, & newborn photos. I know Zola is a wedding website so I will keep it wedding related. She’s professional & fun. She makes you feel beautiful & comfortable but also makes you feel like she’s not even there.

Hi, I’m Briana! I was born and raised in The Northern Chicago Suburbs, and now reside in The San Fransisco Bay Area. I’ve been behind the camera for over 10 years, capturing everything from everyday moments to life’s biggest milestones. When I’m not photographing, I’m a gymnastics coach, which means I spend a lot of time encouraging little ones, celebrating small wins, and keeping things fun and positive. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me hanging out with my friends, playing with my cats Lana, Levi, and Zoe, checking out a good brewery, or just enjoying my quiet time.

We are beyond thrilled with our engagement photos! Briana was amazing at making us feel comfortable and relaxed, which made for beautiful photos. Every photo was a perfect reflection of our love and personalities. The attention to detail and creativity was outstanding. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and how she helped our vision become reality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for professional, stunning engagement photos!"

My name is Connie and I have been shooting weddings and portraits for over 15years. The goal for me is to give my client an heirloom of their wedding day to pass down to generations to come. As a young kid, I remember staring at my parents black and white wedding photos for a long time. It captivated me. I am very lucky to have those memories and that is what I want for my clients. I love capturing beautiful imagery through posing, beautiful light and when there isn't light, I like to create it. I can be a goof ball capturing the unexpected filled laughter. Come look at my work, and hopefully we can connect.

Would highly recommend Connie to anyone I know that will have a wedding. She was very fun and is flexible of where you want photos taken. Her prices are definitely fair! Will never forget Connie for what she did for us at wedding.

Carrie is a wonderful photographer and person! We booked her to take our engagement and wedding photos and we were very happy with the results. Neither of us love getting our photo taken but she made the whole process easy and comfortable. She recommend a bunch of beautiful locations for our engagement shoot that were in our area and worked around our schedule. Our wedding photos were great (even got some with us and our dogs) and she got lots of amazing shots of our guests enjoying themselves. We highly recommend booking Carrie for your special day! Professional, efficient, and a wizard behind the lens. Thanks, Carrie - W&J

At JB photography, we are storytellers and artists who believe in the power of love, connection, and creativity. Our journey began on instagram, where two passionate photographers met, bonded over our shared love for capturing life’s beauty and ultimately fell in love with both each other and the art of photography.

JB Photography did an absolutely incredible job capturing our wedding day. They took our dark and moody vision and brought it to life perfectly — every photo is breathtaking. We’re completely obsessed with how everything turned out! I’ve already recommended them to friends and family, and we won’t be using anyone else for our future photography needs.
