Pink Heart Photography by Maria Evins

  • Classic style

  • Serves El Monte, CA

Hi!! I'm Maria, photographer, mom, wife, and nacho lover. Not listed in any particular order lol Once I had my first born, I realized going back to work at CBS was not what I wanted with 12 hour workdays. I took photography classes and decided to build my own business myself. I have been photographing weddings for the last 6 years and enjoy celebrating this amazing day with all my clients. Cheesy as it may sound, I'm an absolute romantic and I relish in witnessing the love, words said, and the joy found at every wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maria is an amazing photographer! She’s well organized, and does everything she can to get all the shots you want plus ones that you didn’t know you wanted until she shows you the vision. She was fun to work with and I would recommend her a thousand times over. She also works well with your other vendors and is communicative. She made sure our videographer got the shots he needed before we moved onto something else, which we were so appreciative of. Thank you for your hard work in helping document our special day!️

Randall de Leon Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves El Monte, 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 can’t say enough great things about Randall! Our journey with him started when he captured our surprise proposal, and from that moment, we knew he was the perfect photographer for us. He also did our engagement photos, and when it came time to choose a wedding photographer, it was an easy decision—it just felt right to have him document another milestone in our lives. Randall is not only incredibly talented, but he also made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. His style perfectly captures who we are, and we love how natural and authentic his photos feel. He was also so accommodating, even when we made last-minute changes to our engagement shoot location. We are beyond grateful for the beautiful moments he captured, and we know that when the time comes for future milestones, Randall will be our go-to photographer. Highly recommend!

Porterhouse Los Angeles

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.

Joshua is an amazing person and an excellent photographer. Our engagement and wedding pictures were beautiful! When we had to switch the location for our engagement photos, Joshua stepped in with a wonderful location suggestion and those pictures were fabulous. Our wedding photos are gorgeous! Joshua was there for all the behind the scenes and ceremony photos. We couldn't be more happier with how they turned out. We got a photo booth with our package and so glad we did.

Mirage and Light Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves El Monte, CA

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

It was our pleasure to have Mirage and Light photograph our events. One of the things we look for as florists when someone photographs our work is how accurately a photographer may represent color. Since so many clients book us off of previous work, it is imperative to have this accuracy so we can convey to others what we mean when we give them a certain color palette. Amanda and her team did a beautiful job on this for us, and she gave our clients lovely, candid, and natural looking memories of their gorgeous day. Everything was done just as it should be, and I am honored to recommend them to any couple seeking beautiful photos for their day.

Pursuing my passion for photography, I graduated from Brooks Institute of Photography with my BFA. I photographed my first wedding in 2014 and never looked back.

Nicole was amazing throughout the entire process: she helped us find other vendors and supported us through many postponements. On the wedding day she made everyone feel comfortable and confident. And most importantly our photos turned out beautifully! The colors are vibrant and classic so they will never go out of style. We couldn't be happier with our photos and the environment Nicole helped to create on our wedding day. She really went above and beyond the role of a photographer and we would highly recommend hiring her!

I’m a wedding photographer with nearly 20 years of experience and a deep appreciation for the moments that matter most. What excites me 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. I’m not afraid to let the day go by and be a quiet observer, or guide you through posing if you need a bit of encouragement. 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.

Lee has beautifully photographed some of my family members for years, so we were excited to choose him for our engagement photos. He not only met our expectations, but far exceeded them! Lee took amazing photographs of us at Castaic Lake and made it a super fun, comfortable time. It was our first time taking professional photos together and we had a blast. Lee really knows his stuff, and he made the whole shoot feel very natural and relaxed. Cannot recommend him enough!!

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.
