Awarded Best of Zola
Our videographer, Jonathan, was professional and meticulous. He paid great attention to our requests and what we wanted for our video. We also had the flexibility to choose a song from a large platform, which made the video feel more personal. As a bonus, Jonathan has an amazing voice and even sang us a song during our karaoke session, which was a fun and memorable touch. One thing to note is that the original package does not include revisions, so a few scenes we felt less satisfied with were included in the final video. Overall, we appreciated Jonathan and the Originals team’s dedication and creativity, and the experience was a positive one.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Amazing! Stunning! Beautiful! Organic! Breathtaking! These are truly just a few of the words we would use to describe Te Dua Weddings. We cannot recommend them enough to capture your special day with both photography and videography. The duo of Enea and Hayley was beyond anything we could have imagined, from the early phone calls to the day of our wedding, we were so at ease and knew they could handle capturing the most important day of our lives. They took the time to get to know us and were able to capture our love story and who we are as a couple. One of the biggest compliments we can give them is how comfortable they made us, with every shot, pose or set up we trusted them and the outcome was truly spectacular. From the family portraits, to our first look, to the ceremony, sunset vineyard shots and of course the reception they captured every moment. The passion they have comes through in their photos and is a true art form. To say we’re obsessed with the wedding photos and video is a complete understatement. We could not be happier with the outcome and loved our relationship with them through the whole process. While wedding planning is one of the most stressful times for a couple, picking Te Dua Weddings was the easiest, stress free decision we could have made. If you want gorgeous, exquisite, story telling memories from your wedding day, choose Te Dua Weddings. Marisa & Tanner Schultheis

Joy Photo and Video was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and videography needs. They always answered my questions as fast as they could, which put me at ease during the planning process. I loved that I can have access to all the pictures they took, not just the edited ones. The video they put together is amazing - they were able to make it so special in just a few short minutes. The photographer and videographer told us exactly what to do and how to pose, which was so helpful since we didn't know what kind of poses we wanted. The only thing I knew I wanted was some under the veil pictures, and they made sure to get those first. I also loved knowing that if my photographer or videographer were sick that day or something happened, there would be a back-up person there to ensure our day was captured perfectly. Overall, Joy Photo and Video exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Nicky Byrnes Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the moment we connected with Nicky, her communication style was open, easy, and she was quick to respond to all of our questions. Her work is genuine, memorable, and absolutely beautiful. We first met Nicky while we were travel nursing in Tahoe, where she took our engagement photos. We were so impressed with her talent that we knew we had to have her capture our wedding day as well. On the big day, Nicky truly went above and beyond, traveling all the way to Alabama to photograph our celebration. Her work was phenomenal - she really captured the energy and joy of the party.

I could not recommend Mindy more! She was absolutely fantastic to work with and was extremely thoughtful and helpful with the entire experience. I used Mindy to capture two events, a proposal and and a surprise engagement party. For the proposal, Mindy spend a lot of time with me thinking through the right proposal spot at the location I was looking at to make sure that it worked for the photos, she even got there early to make sure that it worked. She was so well hidden to capture the proposal that for a moment I wasn't sure she was there, but she was and captured it and spent time with us after to take photos. We just got the sneak peak of the photos and they look fantastic. For the surprise party Mindy got there early and started to capture moments even before my fiancee and I arrived, she was really flexible on what worked best for the event so we can't wait to see the final photos!

The photographer communicates with the guests to line up the photos. This has to be done with a great attitude and with professional instruction 3 - photos have to look amazing.

You know that friend who always gets your good angles? Brings her digital camera to every event, and when it's photo time she'll fix your hair, tuck in the tag that's sticking out, move your arm just so, then pull out a flash you didn't even know she had for better lighting. That's me. I'll get shot that'll make you fall in love with you again.

Working with Ela for our Save the Date session was a wonderful experience from start to finish. She has an incredible eye for detail and guided me and my fiancé through poses in a way that felt entirely natural and effortless. Not only is the final gallery breathtaking, but Ela was professional, warm, and exceptionally talented throughout the shoot.

I capture your wedding with energy, intention, and an eye for moments that matter most. My couples get more than beautiful photos – they get someone who keeps things organized, brings a fun and calming presence, and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The result is timeless images that feel as genuine as your love story.

As a wedding planner, I truly appreciate vendors who make the day easier for everyone, and Quentin does exactly that. He’s organized, professional, and has a calm, positive energy that couples naturally gravitate toward. He keeps portraits moving without making anyone feel rushed, communicates well with the vendor team, and captures genuine moments while staying seamlessly on timeline. His photos are beautiful, but what really stands out is the experience he creates for both the couple and everyone working alongside him. I never hesitate to recommend him.

I am really interested in other people. I like to find out about you. I believe we all have value, and everybody deserves to be happy. Sour Pusses are quite the bummer, and seriousness is overrated. I really believe there should be very little reason for people to not get along. EVERYONE is welcome. I LOVE nostalgia, and having my work appreciated enough to be on your walls is the best feeling. I roast my own coffee, I am a friek for Legos, old black and white movies, the ocean, the forest, the jungle, and chatting with people.

It was serendipitous that I came across Daniel's instagram randomly in the early stages of wedding planning, and the most recent photos happened to be from the venue we'd chosen so it was clear he knew the venue and that his pictures were magical. Our wedding planners were thrilled that we had found him as they have all worked together and have a great working relationship. Daniel is exuberant and brings such authentic enthusiasm to his work. He was super helpful in the day of planning, and on the day managed our timeline with great efficiency and professionalism. All of our guests were highly impressed at his commitment to getting every shot both posed and candid of us, our families, and portraits of our guests. My husband's most important moment to capture was sunset and our sunset photos are beyond stunning. We had a really positive experience working with Daniel as a person and photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture a wedding or any special event.

Lisa Richmond is a phenomenally talented photographer. Lisa is an artist at heart and her attention to detail in her work shows her tremendous talent. She takes a lot of time to get to know her clients before the day of the wedding, so all parties are comfortable in sharing such intimate moments together in front of the camera. She has a great eye for capturing key family members important to the wedding couple, along with great timing of moments such as the 'first look' and photographing unforgettable facial expressions. Throughout the wedding day, she is silently present capturing moments on camera, allowing these to organically occur, and not be forced. Within her photographs she transforms the moments to tell a story of your wedding day, and in result, you are left with an album of beautifully artistic photographs eliciting wonderful memories and a new friend in Lisa!

If you’ve landed here, my guess is you want the perfect balance. Someone who will give you direction during your couple’s portraits, while avoiding making you feel like you’re on the MET gala red carpet during your ceremony. I’m here to help you feel at ease, to make jokes, to reassure you everything and nothing matters all in the same breath. I take years of stealthy concert photography skills and apply that to documenting the candid familial embrace. The wild shirtless last dance of the evening. The moment when you two look at each other after all the speeches are done, and you realize how wonderful it is to be showered with so much love.

Amazing photos are just the beginning. Amazing communication, endless flexibility, and a work ethic that doesn’t quit; all wrapped up in someone who’s genuinely fun to be around. She made us feel safe and gave us the space to just be ourselves, then somehow captured every best moment… and then some. Her partner Justin was right there with her every step of the way, and the two of them made an incredible team. Coming from a groom who doesn’t even like having his picture taken ; you will not regret booking Jessie. 10/10. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I received the most genuine and passionate experience from As The Crow Flies for our intimate, beach wedding. Lexi made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We enjoyed their passion and upbeat attitudes, despite a few snafus on our day. I would recommend them over and over again.
