Gavin Moss Photography
Elk Grove, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800

Welcome. If you’ve made it this far, you’re somewhat interested in who I am and why I love photography. I live in Sacramento with my girlfriend. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, hiking, disc golfing, cooking and of course eating. I grew up around photography since Polaroids. Predating digital playback, you had to shoot and see what came out of your experimentation and why one of my greatest joys is to enjoy the moments of photography. Having a great time and it shows its' truth through the images that you take.

I have photographed many different niches, many events, many families, many milestones and my *ROCK* will always be love. Love is the foundation of every milestone thereafter and there is just something about it that I can’t get enough of! Every love is unique and it is truly a passion of mine to authentically capture it in whatever way is unique to each story.

Lou Grace Photography

Sacramento, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800

Hey y'all, I'm Meagan! This is typically the section where I should hype myself up, but instead, I’m going to actually tell you about me! I am a Northern California couples, elopement, and wedding photographer who encourages all my clients to include their dogs! Wondering where Lou Grace comes from? My business name is a tribute to my late grandfather, my guardian angel, and greatest supporter. I drink iced coffee year-round and I prefer Dutch Bros over Starbucks. I love country music but listen to just about everything and love a good song recommendation. Also, I’m obsessed with my dogs! Let me know if we have anything in common :)

Meagan was as easy and comfortable to work with as a best friend on my wedding day. She checked in with me throughout the day, gave me clear cues to look good and kept the whole experience with photos so lighthearted and fun. She pulled me away for photos at the perfect times so that I was actually able to enjoy my entire wedding day without feeling like it was one big photoshoot. I even got all my photos done in time to enjoy almost my entire cocktail hour! The photos she sent literally the next morning made my friends cry they were so beautiful. The work speaks for itself!!!

Natalie was extremely helpful and accommodating. It all started with my initial inquiry through Zola. She responded promptly and scheduled a Zoom meeting with my now Husband and I. She wanted to hear what the plan was for the wedding and really guided us through the whole day by emphasizing the importance of the timeline. It really structured our whole planning from that point forward. She then scheduled our engagement session and gave so many beautiful options and guided us with outfit suggestions as this was our first time taking professional photos. Natalie helped with posing etc and delivered the pictures promptly. As for our wedding, she was completely understanding about time and payment. She’s very reasonably priced especially for the amount of work she did! We had a 400 guest count on the busiest day in our town and at the last minute I needed to add time and she accommodated us without hesitation! Our wedding photos were beautiful and she captured the details of my decorations and the people having fun which was my main focus. Thank you Natalie for sharing your expertise with us and guiding/capturing our whole day!!

Hi! I'm Amanda. I never need an excuse to road trip or dance like no one is watching and my soul would probably shrivel up and die without music and high five moments. Finding kindred spirits is the best medicine and I will stop at nothing to savor a fleeting moment. Helping you look and FEEL amazing is literally the best part of what I get to do! I thrive on making your photos a completely comfortable, fun and utterly painless process! I absolutely LIVE for this.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda was our photographer for our wedding and did an amazing job. From the 1st phone call to several follow-up emails leading to the big day, she was extremely responsive and knowledgeable, which put us at ease. On the day of our wedding, she helped capture the most beautiful photos of my husband and I at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. She knew the area well and directed us effortlessly and efficiently, while being keenly aware of areas with the best lighting. Her care and attention to ensure our day was truly special was evident in every interaction - even helping many of the groomsmen with their boutonnieres! We received all our photos a little less than 1 month after our wedding date, which was fantastic as we were still on our honeymoon and got to relive so many precious moments together. We are so happy with the quality of our wedding photos and can’t wait to print our favorites for our home. We would recommend Amanda to any couple looking for a wedding photographer!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000

This is for you, couples who have too many moments to be present for. You’ll have photographs that show the heart and soul of the day without having to stage or fake things for the camera. I'll make images that help you remember what happened, who was there, what it looked like, and what it felt like.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Annie Hall Photography for our wedding and engagement photos, and all I can say is: hire Annie Hall!!! She’s an incredible photographer, capable of capturing all the photos you could want or need from your event. More than that, she’s an incredible listener, helping to understand your vision and bring it to life. Annie captured the most special moments at our wedding; jokes between my husband and his grandfather, my dad spinning me during our father daughter dance, old friends laughing raucously over a perfectly timed joke. Her aesthetic is cool, clean and classic. We’ll we cherish the photos for the rest of our lives but the best part was that it felt completely natural to get them. We never felt too posed, Annie just always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. She was flexible, helping us meet all our goals (so many family portraits!) but also have fun! My husband notoriously hates having his photo taken and even he had a good time with Annie at the helm. If you’re looking for authentic, sincere photos that capture your unique moments without the fuss, hiring Annie is an obvious choice!

Courtland was my dream photographer but with him being in California and we were in Colorado I didn't think I'd be able to afford him. But after no luck with local photographers I called Courtland and that was the best decision. Courtland was available every step of the way. From our first zoom call to him arriving in Colorado for our big day. He reached out throughout the planning process keeping things on a great timeline to getting certain aspects complete. He took the time to get to know us as a couple in great detail and asked questions no other photographer had asked. Our pictures turned out Amazing and we got so many compliments and people were amazed with the final product. Courtland helped ease my mind on the big day he showed up and was checking in with me he even got me food and drinks while I was in make up. Courtland captured us as a couple as well as our family and friends. He captured every emotion down to the tears of joy on our secret dance.

Fits & Stops Photography

Sacramento, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,850

I’m a sucker for a story, especially a love story. Ever since beginning a love affair with photography in Scotland, I’ve worked to capture striking photography for hopeless romantics. From traditional weddings to elopements, I’m game to capture creative and sentimental moments in timeless color.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so glad we found P.J. from Fits and Stops Photography. From the early planning stages, he was attuned to our needs and photographic wishes. Prior to booking him for the wedding, we did an engagement photo session with him. We were very happy with his professionalism, creativity, and fun personality. He had the photos to us quickly and we were so happy with his work that we booked him for our wedding. He created a custom wedding photo package tailored to our photography needs. We planned a relatively small wedding at a family’s vineyard, but then the global pandemic happened. In the months and weeks leading up to our wedding P.J. was incredibly flexible, understanding, and accommodating. As our plans continued to change weekly and then daily, P.J. remained positive and supportive. Because of the pandemic, we had so many stressors and challenges, but P.J. was never one of them. We knew no matter what we still wanted to be married on our original date and even if no one could attend, we wanted P.J. there to take photos. Literally days before our wedding, we finalized a plan to do an elopement ceremony deep in the forest. It required a long drive to the mountains, a bumpy ride on a dirt road, a hike into the woods, and a short climb to a rocky overlook. Not exactly what P.J. thought he was getting into when we booked him for a vineyard wedding months ago, but he was 100% on board with our new plan and so excited for us. It meant a lot to us to have all his positive energy and enthusiasm with us on our wedding day. Though our wedding did not go as we thought it would when we planned it many months ago, our wedding was beautiful and P.J. did a fantastic job capturing the elopement ceremony. The day after our wedding he sent us a few photos to share with our family and friends sheltering in place around the globe. His photos meant so much to those who were eagerly waiting to gather for our wedding, only to be devastated when we had to alter our plans. Many people commented they felt they were right there with us as they looked through P.J.’s photos. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience working with P.J. We look forward to the day when we can all gather safely in celebration and we hope we can have P.J. there to capture all those special moments with our family and friends.

My husband and I cannot recommend Brey enough! She is professional, charismatic, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Brey showed up to our venue on our wedding day in April 2022 and immediately started doing what she does best: creating magic with her camera! If you need someone who will get the job done, with a little spice (well, a lot of spice actually), then Brey is the photographer for you.

I have loved photography since high school in the 80s. I have an amazing day job where I have worked for 20+ years so I sincerely don't do this for the money. I really just love photography and weddings in particular. I try to keep the prices reasonably priced to cover my costs and gear but really I want you to have professional pictures and still have money for things like a honeymoon :)   

I've worked with Robert McBride of McBride Pictures on multiple weddings, and it's always a pleasure. He's responsive to my emails, easy to work with on the wedding day, and quick to turn around the photos, which always look beautiful. I think my couples have felt comfortable with him behind the camera, guiding them into poses that will look flattering in the final photos. I'm always happy when I have a wedding with Robert!

Jacki Potorke Photo
Sacramento, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, toting around a neon 35mm point and shoot camera, constant exploration was my default setting. Now, after eight years as a professional wedding and lifestyle photographer, I find myself driven by deep human connection and the exquisiteness of nature. I have shot over 100s of weddings, collaborated with conscientious small businesses, artists, makers, musicians, travel companies, and non-profit organizations to tell their stories in meaningful ways. I have been able to give back to my community and the charities I believe in by donating monetarily, with my art, and with my time.

We chose a photographer from the list; we did not get that photographer but the guy that was chosen for us was the best photographer!! We could not have been a better match. He was so attentive to all our wants and requests and he took every shot we asked. We communicated a few days before the wedding & he was ready for the shots we requested.

If you’re looking for a moody, dreamy, romantic wedding photographer, look no further! Carly is absolutely incredible! My husband (then fiancé) and I were searching for a wedding photographer in the Cleveland area when we stumbled upon Drzazga Photo. Best thing to happen to us!! Early on in my planning I knew my wedding aesthetic was going to be boho rustic and I wanted a photographer who would be able to capture it well. We found that in Carly, and honestly, she can make any wedding style look fantastic in her photos!! If you haven’t checked out her work, DO IT ASAP! Not only are the photos she takes beautiful, but Carly’s eye for angles and poses is astounding. She’s incredibly talented and SUPER sweet. Both my husband and I are uncomfortable in front of the camera, but when working with Carly, she made us feel super comfortable and being photographed by her was actually fun. She’s also available at a really great price. While searching for photographers with similar style and quality, we found most of them were way out of our price range. Now that she has an associate team, you can get the same quality for even a bit cheaper! I didn’t work with the associate team, so I can’t speak to how they interact with their clients, but if you can, don’t skimp on having Carly shoot for you, I promise you won’t regret it! She not only gives you great quality for a great value, but she even includes an engagement photoshoot! (Although complimentary, the photos we got blew us out of the water and also got us really excited to see what she would be able to do at our wedding!) Spoiler alert: she crushed it! We are floored by how good the wedding photos turned out and we haven’t got the whole gallery back yet!! Also, Carly is SO incredibly accommodating! She drove all the way from Cleveland to Columbus just to do our engagement photos because it was more convenient for us!!! Her dedication to her clients is UNRIVALED! I can’t say enough good things about Carly and the team at Drzazga photo!! I’m just so happy we were able to snag her before she booked up!! (She’s a hot commodity, so if you’re even remotely considering her, book her or you might miss out on her magic!) We are keeping her contact info saved because we will certainly be reaching out for any professional photos in the future!! Thank you, Carly, Kasey, and team!!! You guys are the best!

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements, to hiking engagements, to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York and California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, and candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few awesomely unique shots on top of it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kathryn was so great to work with! I am overly easy-going and did not have a clear idea of what I wanted for photos for my engagement and wedding, but once I saw Kathryn's photos from other events I was sure I wanted her! Her photos show so much personality and are so vibrant, she gave me a sneak peak of the wedding photos just days after the wedding and it got me so excited to see the rest and made me 100% sure I chose the right photographer for my 'big day'. She came up to Humboldt County, CA for our engagement shoot and we did an adventure style session, we hiked all around the College Cove forest and beach and she had both my husband and I feeling very comfortable in front of the camera (neither of us usually would be). The photos came out so beautifully and there are so many to chose from and love. Her assistant was also great! My wedding was pretty un-organized but everything came together so perfectly at the end. She was very understanding when my payment had to come in small portions as well because my Zelle app wasn't working properly. Pretty much all I told her was that I wanted 90% candid in the moment photos and just a few family portraits on top of our couple portraits. I was very grateful that all I had to do was give her a few sentences of what I knew I wanted and she gave her all to give me what I wanted and more! I would 100% chose her over and over again to photograph our events!

We're so excited to hear about your wedding plans and to start chatting-- we'll do our best to get back to you within 24 hours. A great way to start getting to know us is over on Instagram where we post and share behind the scenes on stories almost daily: @eicharphotography Head to our website to see our images in full res and to stalk us some more: www.eicharphotography.com Looking forward to your email!

I wish I could leave 10 stars. We were both feeling a little sheepish about having an engagement shoot as we didn’t want pictures that looked super staged/forced. Well that was not an issue at all, Lauren and Jamie make you feel so at ease that you’ll want to be their best friends by the end of the shoot! They were down for every suggestion and worked with all the differing weather conditions that SF threw at us that day. They even made sure to get some great pictures that included our pup! They sent us sneak peeks so quickly and the full album of photos was ready in record time! I cannot tell you how many people have asked us who took our photos! They turned out so lovely and I am so excited to have found such a wonderful team and I can’t wait to continue using them in the future!

If you would have known me growing up, you would have been surprised if I didn’t become a photographer! I fell in love with photography after spending countless hours in the darkroom. Since 2008, I have been working professionally in the photography industry and have shot over 300 weddings and numerous other assignments in almost every genre of photography. Why Weddings? I love problem solving and puzzles, and I’m always up for a good challenge. For me, a wedding is a day full of all of the things that I love. Its basically a whole day of coming up with solutions to make the best photographs for my couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lisa did an incredible job of photographing our wedding and we couldn't recommend her more highly. She was super professional and responsive in the lead-up to the wedding, and on wedding day, she was organized, calm, and efficient, which we really appreciated given how much was going on that day. She brings a ton of experience and a real eye for detail and lighting, which we thought really showed in her photos -- they were beautiful!!! Our wedding day was a whirlwind, and while we loved it, it went by just as quickly as everyone said it would. When we got our photos from Lisa (which she delivered faster than expected), it gave us the chance to relive the day, plus see so many other small moments going on between people at the wedding we hadn’t been able to see. Choosing to work with her was one of the best decisions we made -- we will cherish the photos for the rest of our lives! Also, we decided relatively last-minute to schedule an engagement photo shoot with Lisa at SF City Hall, and she was kind enough to accommodate us on pretty short notice. Her experience showed here too -- she knew the best spots to seek out in the building, and the photos are beautiful and personal even though City Hall can get so busy with people. Both my wife and I are not the most comfortable being photographed, but she was patient in walking us through how to stand and showed us our photos to help us understand why she was giving us the instructions she was. She was so dedicated to getting the best possible shots, and that really came through in the photos. As mentioned above, we can't recommend her more highly!

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

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!

We first hired Lisa from Bustle & Twine to photograph our wedding in 2016, based on a recommendation from a friend. Working with her was wonderful, from the ease of communication to her professionalism and flexibility. We currently have several of her photos on our wall at home and they make me smile every time I see them. She managed to find the right backdrops to create pictures that aren't just lovely mementos, they are works of art. To our surprise, she sent us first peek images in less than 24 hours, which was amazing and so fun to look at on our honeymoon! Beyond her talent as a photographer, Lisa is also such a kind person that she makes everyone feel comfortable and she is always open to questions, comments, or suggestions. I can't imagine a better wedding photographer. And I should say that we loved Lisa's work so much that we've now had her take family pictures for us four years in a row. We now have two (sometimes grumpy) little kids and she is AMAZING at getting them to behave and look their best while choosing locations that are amazing backdrops for what could otherwise be run-of-the-mill family photos. We've gotten so many compliments on her pictures and we will continue to work with her as much as possible. She is truly the best.

After sharing the gallery with some of our family and friends, many of them commented “ I can’t believe your photographer caught this moment of my sons, dad, mom, etc”. We are completely able to re-live our day with his photos. I don’t even understand how he was able to do it, but he also put together an 11 minute highlight video capturing our vows, big moments and many more little moments throughout the day!

Elmwood and Tessa did our wedding photography in South Lake Tahoe and was great to work with. She did a wonderful job in capturing so many of our special moments and also being efficient with our time in between the ceremony and reception. She was so kind to hang a little longer than we booked her for as she was getting so many fun shots. Thank you for helping make our day so special, Tessa! Would highly recommend to anyone!

I have been photographing couples for nearly 10 years and have loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed following them through engagement, wedding, maternity and now family sessions. I have even become life long friends with some of them. I am a mother of 3 and have always loved art, and once I picked up my camera and found a way to tell others love stories, I knew I found what I was supposed to do.

We hired Michelle for our wedding and wow... where do I start?? Michelle and her assistant were INCREDIBLE! They were super friendly, thoughtful, funny, helpful and just made us feel incredible comfortable! My husband and I are shy people who do not like to be the center of attention and do not like to get our pictures taken, so we were both anxious about it. As soon as they started, we ended up actually having so much fun, laughing and having a great time getting our pictures taken! I have seen a few sneak peeks and am already in tears at how beautifully they turned out. I CANNOT wait to see how the others turned out! We will 100% be working with her again in the future! Thank you Michelle for the wonderful memories! Definitely do not hesitate and hire Valley Images Photography for your next event, you will not regret it!

WE'RE MARIA AND RICARDO, WE ARE HUSBAND AND WIFE AND THE HEART BEHIND THE PICTURES. WE ARE BASED IN NYC AND TAKE WEDDING COMISSIONS ALL AROUND THE US AND ABROAD BUT WE ARE ORIGINALLY FROM SPAIN AND PUERTO RICO MARIA IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER, ALL THE IMAGES ARE TAKEN AND EDITED BY HER. RICARDO IS YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER AND RUNS THE BUSINESS AND MAKES SURE EVERYTHING GOES AS IT SHOULD. THERE IS A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.OUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS BOLD & CREATIVE, AIMING TO TELL STORIES AND DOCUMENT THE REAL MOMENTS. WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOOT A FEW FORMALS AND WE ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM SESSIONS.

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

I service all of Southern California, Northern California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii regularly, and will travel anywhere you want me to go to document your love!

September '23 couple here - while searching for photographers back in December '22, we really didn't know what we were looking for, that is, until we found Michelle. Her photos were the perfect marriage of whimsical, light, airy but poetic & deeply romantic at the same time. The vibe I could see on the walls of my home for years to come. She did our engagement photos in Joshua Tree, after scouting the park on her own all day one day, to make sure the location was exactly what we wanted. We trusted her vision immensely! Not only was that day a blast, the end results were seriously everything we wanted & more. Fast forward to our Wedding, September 30th, 2023. An absolute dream of a day. Michelle completely conquered that day. She was so great at directing every situation to get the perfect shots. I come from an event background, so her organizational management and eye for perfection did not go unnoticed. We are so glad we found her, & now when our family grows, I know exactly who I'm calling for family photos 3

(Name is pronounced Hasmeen, kinda like jalapeño) My goal is to be a source of joy and vulnerability in your life while helping you feel grounded on your big day and ~even more~ grateful for the life you live and the love you choose. 

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I booked Jazmin for our fall wedding in the panhandle of Texas. Right from the start, she was such a joy to work with! Between our first video call to make sure we were a good fit, doing her online questionnaire (which was a lot of fun), and the call closer to the big day where Jazmin helped my coordinator and I with the photography timeline, Jazmin was helpful, cheerful, and made me feel so at ease. Booking her for our wedding was the easiest choice I’d made all year! This was our first time having professional pictures taken and we are both a bit awkward in front of the camera but we did not feel awkward with Jazmin. On our wedding day, Jazmin and her partner/second shooter were punctual, organized, and just plain fun to have around! To quote my husband; “anytime we need a photographer for anything, you know we can only work with them.” Importing Jazmin from San Francisco for our DIY Texas vineyard wedding was a no brainer for us, and we’d book her again in a heart beat!

We are SO happy with our decision to have Briana shoot our wedding! We booked them back in 2018 and they did our engagement shoot in 2019. Bria was great about communicating and getting to know us prior to our shoot date! It truly felt like we were just hanging out with an old friend. Fast forward to 2020 when we learned our wedding would have to be cancelled due to COVID. Again, Bria was wonderful in her communication and we were able to shift gears and turn our would be wedding into an elopement shoot. Bria and Andrew are going to continue with us in our journey as we throw our big bash in 2022! Our photographs are absolutely STUNNING. Her style is very candid -- doesn't feel too pose-y. We got so many great shots at both of our events. She also works with GREAT local businesses for prints. We are absolutely in love with our gallery wall and our albums. Such high quality.

Working with Olivia on multiple jobs were some of my favorite experiences because not only were the photos exceptional, the way she guided and calmed the guests and team makes for an enjoyable experience all around.

Even though I truly hate being the center of attention and getting my pictures taken, Alyssa made us feel so comfortable so that we could enjoy the day and be in the moment. Leading up to the wedding, she was super responsive to all my questions and when the big day came along everything went so smoothly. Alyssa even fixed my makeup when I cried it all off after the ceremony!! We love our pictures so much.

My style is natural and photojournalistic. I love capturing unscripted moments because those are the type of photos that tell a richer story of your day. Working with me means nothing overly posed, nothing awkward, nothing that doesn't feel like YOU. While we'll spend some time doing portraits, my priority is for you to be present and enjoy your wedding day. I like to shoot discreetly with an emphasis on candids so from the moment you first see each other to that last hilarious toast, you’ll be relaxed and focused on one another and not even noticed I’m there.

We cannot recommend Vivian highly enough for your wedding photography! We had multiple guests compliment her professionalism and stealthiness on the day of the wedding. Vivian’s calm demeanor was MUCH appreciated on the hectic wedding day. She is a superstar. She made sure we didn’t fall behind with our timeline even though we had requested a large number of portraits. Even though we’re a bit camera awkward Vivian was great at posing us and guests for shots. But where Vivian really shines is all of the candid shots that capture the pure joy and excitement of the day! She was so fast to provide us with our wedding photos, and we love looking back at them. The photos are framed well, have true to life coloring, and are just beautiful.

For some unknown reason I have loved weddings since I was a kid. That’s the first thing. But then… I got married. And that is indescribable. So… if you happen to be here because you have met someone special, and you are making moves, CONGRATULATIONS! You really are in for the ride of a lifetime. So… my first photos? Yup. They were from a wedding! Unfortunately they took the human knee as their subject because I was short, because I was five years old. One auspicious day I brought a camera to a friends’ wedding. I partied. I had a fabulous time. Afterwards they told me I should have said something, my photos were better than the hired pro.

Paul and I have worked together on some seriously complex wedding days. As a planner, I have to know and trust the vendors that come onto the team for wedding day and Paul was nothing short of a dream to work with. Seasoned, professional, and super uber crazy talented... you won't regret adding him to your vendor team!

We're a Scottish duo living our best lives in Los Angeles! We appreciate unpopular TV shows, all the vegan food, and a good old road trip. But our most favorite thing is our two fur-kids (bunnies!). We are not typical wedding photographers, that is for certain. We go against the usual grain, and that's exactly how we like it to roll. Normal is boring. Well, for us, at least. Not just for the 'wild at heart' and 'free-spirited'. For e v e r y o n e. And we mean it. We don't discriminate. Ever.

Asking The Hendrys to photograph our wedding was one of the easiest decisions we made during the planning process and also one of the best. They are incredible and did such a great job capturing our vibe and the feeling of the day. They are also the nicest people ever and instantly made us and everyone in our wedding party feel at home in front of the camera! Pro tip, we asked them to take our engagement photos so we could all get to know each other before the big day, and I strongly recommend others follow suit. The price was very reasonable and the photos are INCREDIBLE. My only regret is that we don't have another major life event in the near future so we can hang with them again/star in more of their amazing work!

As a photographer, I consider myself a 'generalist'. I photograph a little of everything: portraits, weddings, events, commercial, news and editorial, street photography, fine-art, the neighborhood stray cat... I learned early on that I enjoy too many different styles and subjects, enjoy experimenting with different mediums too much to "settle down" and limit myself solely to one genre. I have found that has given my work a wonderful versatility and breadth. I like that, and I hope you'll like that too.

Kirsten is a consummate professional and handled the chaos of my wedding day with her steady manner. She is very responsive and accommodating. Her communication is great and in particular she was equipped to deal with a multicultural wedding where half the guests and family didn't speak English! The pictures are gorgeous and the whole experience with Kirsten from initial contact to the final (beautiful) result went smoothly!

Elopements are an incredible way to fuse together everything you love about doing life with your person and celebrate your relationship in a genuine, meaningful way. They allow you to put your marriage first. To release any pressure or judgment and just be you, together. Not only are you committing your life to someone you love more than anything, but you’re starting the adventure of a lifetime with an adventure of a lifetime. And because I’ll be there to help you craft the whole thing, and document it as it unfolds, you can relive your best day ever; over and over, forever.

I shot my first elopement wedding film with Jayne and she was such a joy to work with! Not only was she helpful in making sure I could get the shots I need, but she definitely had a rapport with the couple that really put them at ease. The other thing that really stood out was how thoughtful and detailed she was. She had done so much scouting, research, and leg work that the day just flowed really well and everything was just easy!

Hi! My names Marissa, and I have one of the coolest jobs around - hanging out with people on their wedding day! I love iced coffee and Jamie Fraser and spend my spare time reading or hanging out with my horse!

We had the best experience working with Marissa for our wedding! For one, she has an amazing personality - she is fun and lighthearted, so easygoing, AND also very responsible and on top of things (which I so appreciate)! For two, we had the unfortunate timing with COVID of having to postpone our wedding and our engagement shoot, and she made it super easy. She helped me many times in the planning process, from walking through the timeline, to picking out my bridesmaid dress color. Day of, she contributed so well to the fun vibe of the day, kept us on time and therefore not stressing out, and captured some AMAZING photos of us! She also captured so many awesome candids during our day, that looking back you can really see and remember how people felt, what the vibe of the day was, and the funny things that happened too (like when my friend spilled white wine on my dress and Marissa came to the rescue with napkins;)) Thank you so much Marissa!

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best.

I'm fun-loving, expressive, adventurous, open-minded, optimistic & curious. I believe it's important to continuously strive to grow & learn. I'm a mom of two incredible kids, and wife to an amazing Marine Veteran and glass artist. We live in Nevada City and love that we're connected to a creative community & surrounded by nature. I fell into photography after becoming a young mom and LOVE shooting weddings because it allows me see the beautiful depths of the human experience... I'm able to capture everything from raw emotion to beautiful surroundings to little details that help tell the overall story. I'm lucky to love my job!

Katie has such talent and makes you feel comfortable and beautiful! She’s professional yet so down to earth and I completely trust her. Her quality of work is beyond expectations and she’s simply a gem of a person!

Hello, I have been in photography for about 10 years now started in nature photography and now in wedding photography. I love to incorporate nature in my surrounding in photo and almost stage a landscape in the background of your beautiful wedding to share your story. I love capturing people and faces and seeing the joy in every photo taken on a wedding day. I also love to capture the candid photos. most of all I have had a passion for photography for many years and the love for photography continues to grow for every wedding a I photograph.

Hailley was so easy to work with. We really didn't have too many traditional things as our wedding was smaller but she managed to capture such beautiful shots of everyone. I would highly recommend La Lune for photography of any kind. She is well organized and prepared to come and and take control all while having a smile on her face :)

Hi. It’s Michelle. And I’m a photographer who lets you relive every moment of your wedding. You cried coming down the aisle? Perfect! The best man forgot the rings? Hilarious! Three-hour portrait sessions? No way! Couples (and moms) ask me all the time…“How did you get that shot? I didn’t even see you!” That’s my style… unobtrusive, authentic, exceptional. I truly love what I do and it shows in emotional, meaningful photography. So, give me a ring. I can't wait to hear all about your big day!

We absolutely loved working with Michelle for our wedding. Michelle is so fun and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera from day one! She helped turn our “Covid/backyard” wedding into the most amazing and special day. She captures the most incredible moments and has an unbelievable eye for detail. Our day would not have been the same without her. Her love of “love” is contagious and everyone around her can feel it. Michelle is the absolute best. We cannot recommend her enough. She is so easy to work with and truly makes the wedding planning experience fun and memorable.

To me, photography is a medium that requires time, humility, thought, and trust. It is an art that lasts beyond yesterday, today and tomorrow. It captures moments of transition and development; and encourages light and vulnerability. It finds the light even where darkness may dwell. It shows order to chaos. And it celebrates courage, confidence and natural beauty. All that to say the heart behind my images are found where growth and humility meet and form something beautifully authentic. My desire is to capture that and make it last.

LOVE LOVE LOVE our gallery! The best, sweetest, most lovely memories from our wedding. Emma was like having your closest friend there photographing the best part of the day. She got the big stuff but also gave us some beautiful shots of family and friends. I love looking through our album. It brings a big old smile to my face every time! She's incredible! Her work is full of love and joy. 10/10!

Life is full of amazing moments. Moments we want to hang onto tight, moments we want to never forget, moments we want to be able to re-experience anytime. There is a way to do just that - photography. How often have we looked at a photo and the whole memory comes flooding back? How often does a photo make us laugh or cry? When we share photos with others, they want to know more about the moment. We share the stories, and in doing so, we bring them in on the memory too.

Without Angela & James my wedding would have been postponed or cancelled. Angela gave me info to help my wedding possible in the time of COVID. And let me tell you... they are TRULY A BLESSING. The best investment we made for the wedding was photography. I told my husband that was something I would not budge on and I’m glad I didn’t, Angela and James became like friends to us. I text Angela on the holidays and even when my son was born! They pay so much attention to detail that looking back at my photos they captured moments that I didn’t even realize were a part of my wedding. Their turnaround time is remarkable, all the sneak peaks made me want to see more and more and when I got the final photos I was in awe of all of them. Thank you to Angela & James for capturing the beautiful moments of our wedding!!!! Such genuine people and I’m glad that we met them and built a friendship!!!!
