Vanessa Montano Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,250
  • Serves Emeryville, CA

I'm Vanessa — Bay Area born and raised, obsessed with capturing the moments that matter most. When I'm not behind the camera you'll find me testing new recipes, catching up with friends over a dirty martini, or cruising with country music turned all the way up. What I love most isn't the perfectly posed portraits — it's the in-between moments. The way your person looks at you when they think no one's watching. The grandfather wiping a tear during the first dance. I specialize in wine country weddings throughout Livermore, Napa, and Sonoma — images that feel effortless and completely yours.

We are so happy we had the opportunity to have Vanessa capture our special day! The quality of her work is exceptional, with beautiful colors and candid moments filled with love. Vanessa constantly checked in to make sure we got the shots we wanted, and went above and beyond to focus on capturing the special interactions between our family and friends. We couldn't be happier with the final photos - they truly helped make our special day even more memorable.

  • Serves Emeryville, CA

Hi, I'm Tyler a professional photographer based in the SF Bay Area. I've been shooting portraits since 2009, when I visited Tibet with my dad on my middle school graduation trip. Ever since then, I've loved taking photos of people. Over the years I've developed my own style of photography to convey the feeling of the moment into my photos. My goal is to always create images that will stand the test of time.

Tyler was amazing to work with. He did our engagement shoot and helped out with video during our elopement. We felt at ease and he made us feel comfortable off the bat and our engagement photos came out really nicely despite my now husband and my awkwardness behind the camera. We definitely look forward to doing more shoots with him in future. Book him! He’s awesome!

Cat Fennell Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Emeryville, CA

With a background in shooting portraits, events, couples and food, getting to shoot all of the above makes weddings a dream for me. Not to mention I am a BIG hopeless romantic and I can't get enough of love. Which brings me here, to photograph your big day! I absolutely love connecting with my couples, learning about the two of you and what makes your story special to you. I don't want to just be your photographer, I want to your friend!

Cat was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, Cat was prompt, friendly, and easygoing, putting us at ease as a couple who aren't normally super comfortable in front of the camera. On the day of our wedding, she captured gorgeous images — both outdoor and indoor (a last-minute, weather-driven change to which she adapted seamlessly) — that perfectly reflect the joy and intimacy of our celebration. As a solo photographer, Cat seemed to be everywhere, documenting all the little moments, yet her presence was never intrusive. Many of my favorite memories of our special day are cemented by her incredible photos. I'm so grateful she was part of our wedding day and recommend her wholeheartedly. The value for the quality of her work was also exceptional.

I'm a fine art wedding photographer based in Northern California and beyond. After discovering my love for photography, I always knew I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. I am so fortunate to call this my job for over five years! My photography work often describe as romantic, soft, bright and natural that lend itself from my love of film look and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two Tabbies. I would absolutely love to get to know you and be your photographer!

Ditto is an absolute dream to work with and I am so happy we went with him as our wedding photographer. My husband and I are awkward and stiff in front of cameras, but Ditto made us feel right at ease. He gave us gentle guidance with poses, helped us relax, and chose some of the most beautiful spots for photos. We adored our engagement photos but our shots from our wedding absolutely stunned us - we could not believe how gorgeous everything turned out! If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, easy to work with, quick with their edits and final photos, you have to go with Ditto. Thank you so much for capturing our best moments, and we can't wait to work with you again soon.

I photograph intimate weddings and elopements with intention, emotion, and a little bit of edge. My approach is simple: your photos should feel like you. Real, raw and timeless, not stiff or performative. I'm here to catch the unplanned magic and the editorial moments that make your story look and feel as fabulous as you do.

We had the most magical experience with Shawna! She captured our proposal so beautifully that every picture feels like it’s straight out of a fairytale. Not only is she incredibly talented behind the lens, but she also made us feel so comfortable and natural throughout the shoot. Her energy, kindness, and attention to detail turned a once-in-a-lifetime moment into memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to capture your special day with creativity and heart, we can’t recommend her enough.

Ivan Duran Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Emeryville, CA

I am an award-winning photographer based in San Francisco and the Bay Area. I was born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico. As a kid, I loved painting & drawing just as much as I loved taking apart wrist watches and fixing car radios. It wasn't until I picked up a camera as a teenager that I found an activity that combined my artistic sensibilities with my love of technical challenges. Photography has been my passion ever since. I bring a happy, relaxed energy to every job I shoot. In general, I'm more of a listener than a talker. When I'm not taking pictures, you'll find me salsa dancing, or playing ukulele very badly, though joyfully!

Ivan Duran is an outstanding photographer. His talent and creativity shine through in every shot. Ivan made us feel comfortable, capturing natural and candid moments effortlessly. The final images were beautifully composed and edited, exceeding our expectations. If you need a photographer who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Ivan Duran Photography.

Jessi Clare Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Emeryville, CA

I love romance and I want to reflect that in my images. Aside from posed editorial type images, my couples do a lot of interaction with each other, allowing me to produce images that reflect true joy, love and emotions. I married my husband twice, not because we were divorced but because our first wedding was at a courthouse, and on 1st year anniversary, we renewed our vows in front of 100s of our family and friends. We have 2 beautiful daughters that keep us on our toes. And when I am not photographing weddings, I work as a nurse in the emergency room.

Jessi's talent is absolutely incredible and unmatched. Not only does she have an eye for beauty and perfect lighting, but she captures images that are genuine and breathtaking. She is very professional, very personable, and very patient which is an amazing combination for a photographer. We can't wait to use her for our pregnancy photos and family photos for years to come. Thank you Jessi!

I'm an editorial wedding photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. I’m obsessed with exploring—whether it’s finding hidden gems in my hometown or chasing adventures beyond. Of course I'm always with a camera in hand to capture the beauty of every adventure. I'm passionate about capturing real moments that are romantic, will become classic storytelling and are authentically you. If you’re a laid-back couple who values the experience as much as the photos, let’s connect! I'd love to document your love story.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Jessica for our Napa Valley wedding! From start to finish, she made us feel completely comfortable, confident, and relaxed in front of the camera—something we didn’t think was possible. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also managed the day seamlessly, ensuring everything stayed on schedule while allowing us to truly relax and soak in every moment. Her calm and joyful presence made the day even more special, and we were able to focus on celebrating without any stress. The photos turned out absolutely stunning—she perfectly captured the beauty of Napa and the emotions of the day. If you’re looking for someone who will not only take incredible photos but also make the entire experience unforgettable, JESSICA KAY is the one. We can’t recommend her enough!

I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories.

We’re Apollo Fotografie. When it comes to visual storytelling, we don’t miss a beat. We prioritize organization, punctuality, and beauty so your wedding day looks better than your dreams. At Apollo, inclusivity is one of our core values, and our couples come from all backgrounds. We know that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, and we’re here to help. All of our photographers use prompts and suggestions to encourage natural interactions for a less “scripted” feel.

We had an amazing experience with Apollo Fotografie and working with Liv. She was super easy to work with and brought a really calm, fun energy to the whole day, which made a big difference. Her style was exactly what we were hoping for. The photos feel modern and natural but still really polished. She captured so many great candid moments along with the important shots, and looking through the shots really feels like reliving the day. She was always in the right place at the right time without ever feeling intrusive. Some of our favorite photos are moments we didn’t even realize she caught. Would 100% recommend Apollo Fotografie and Liv to anyone looking for a photographer who delivers beautiful photos and makes the whole process feel easy.

I want to thank Vivi from the bottom of my heart for capturing my maternity moments so beautifully! Vivi’s work holds the highest standards. Her passion, professionalism, and confidence elevate her photography beyond beautiful photos, and into fine art. I truly cannot recommend her enough! From the very beginning, working with Vivi felt easy. Pregnancy is both a special and vulnerable time, and Vivi made me feel completely comfortable and genuinely beautiful! What really stood out to me was her attention to detail. From her thoughtful location recommendation, to wardrobe suggestions and every single shot she took, everything was done through so much care. I love the locations that she recommended! The Filoli Garden and the Water Temple. They are not only stunning, but also close by, which makes them very convenient during pregnancy. During the photoshoot, her calm and encouraging energy made such a difference. She guided my husband and me through poses in such a natural way. Her creativity shines through every detail. The pictures almost feel like a fairytale since she captured lavender and butterflies in the background. I really appreciate how thoughtful and prepared she was throughout the entire photoshoot. When I received our photos, I was so emotional. She delivered the photos even faster than she promised because she wanted to have the photos ready for my baby shower. She captured such a meaningful moment in my life so beautifully. I never felt so elegant in photos before so I know I will cherish those images forever! Vivi is incredibly talented, kind and truly invested in her clients! I am beyond grateful to have chosen her! I highly recommend Vivi if you look for a photographer who you can trust to capture any important chapter of your life.

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Fox & Fig Photography for our wedding, their communication was phenomenal and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Their work is simply gorgeous - exactly the style we were looking for to capture our special day. On the wedding day, they made both my husband and I feel at ease, even though we are a bit awkward in front of the camera. They provided excellent guidance on posing and helped us look our best. Fox & Fig was incredibly supportive and patient with us as a nervous couple. We are thrilled with the sneak peeks of our photos and can’t wait for the whole product!

  • Serves Emeryville, CA

My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started working with Cassie, it felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. Cassie is so thoughtful, patient, and funny- and we got to experience that multiple times when we connected with her for our photography. We truly believe that her vision and personality is what makes her photos feel so authentic and filled with light love. As awkward people anxious about taking photos, we were so relieved how Cassie made us feel comfortable from the beginning of our engagement session. She was able to somehow fade into the background, while also guiding us and capturing genuine moments. We loved that photo session so much that we ended up hiring her for our welcome dinner as well! Cassie was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, making sure to get a list of our important shots ahead of the wedding while working closely with our planner to make sure there was a clear schedule. This meant that we could be as present as possible on our wedding day. On the big day, Cassie honestly felt more like a part of the wedding rather than simply a vendor. She knew how to make everyone comfortable, made sure the bridesmaids and groomsmen were having fun, and made the day feel natural for us. We got all of the wedding photos we wanted, and managed to even be AHEAD of schedule so we got to spend more time at our cocktail hour!!! Cassie’s photos capture the full range of emotions on the wedding day, because she’s able to connect deeply with her couples and understand what is important to them. Her style was something we gravitated to as we wanted a photographer who would not simply chronicle our event, but also capture the small details and genuine emotions that we might miss during the day. For both the engagement shoot and our wedding weekend, Cassie promptly delivered sneak peek highlights within a couple of days, and the full album within her initial estimate (8 weeks). She managed to capture the full essence of the day. Everytime we look at those photos, they bring us right back to those moments and feelings. We are so lucky and thankful to have had Cassie as our photographer. Hire her for your wedding! You will not regret it!!
