Hello my name is Makayla and I am a California based destination wedding and elopement photographer (MN based as of July 2026). My objective is to capture your love story and to bring your dream day to life! Let’s capture these special moments to keep for a lifetime together.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Omg. Makayla is amazing. She was one of the first vendors I found! Photo and makeup were VERY important to me. I looked at her portfolio and it really had all the styling that I was looking for and she seemed really versatile. I thought I would find a photographer easily, but then once I started looking at portfolios I was a lot more particular than I realized I would be. I do design/photo art direction so maybe that's why. Makayla and I connected over the phone and I instantly liked her. She is so sweet. A photographers personality is so important. It turned out she got married at the same venue! Small world! That just made me feel like it was meant to be, also a perk that she knew the grounds really well!  We also did our engagement shoot with Mikayla, and she totally followed the styling vision I had, and recommended the location (we shot in Old sac, great choice, btw). We have some photos I will cherish for a lifetime.  During the wedding Makayla was working her butt off!!! She went ABOVE AND BEYOND.  She got us a gift (omg so thoughtful and sweet!) She was hustling, running all over the place getting ALL the shots. I had a bad wedding coordinator and poor Makayla made up for her slack. She put the boutonnieres on the groomsmen and dried the bouquets for us ladies. NOT her job but she did it anyway because the coordinator was MIA! She also was sometimes the only person I hired around, and when we weren't on schedule I was like "where is the coordinator?!" Poor Makayla was helping do the coordinator's job!! I felt so bad later and just told her sorry and thank you and she was completely professional and knew I was NOT freaking out because of her. Also I forgot to grab my bouquet as I walked down the aisle and Makayla RAN to go get it/get some one to grab it for me. Literally my hero, and again, not her responsibility!! She just cared THAT much.  We just got our sneak peeks for the wedding back from her and oh my goodness, I cried. The photos are STUNNING. I want them hung up all over my house. This isn't even all of them!! I cannot recommend her enough. Also the portal system you use for sharing out photos is a really nice system. I also shared an album of photos ahead of time and she remembered/ had the photos for reference of all the shots I wanted that I was forgetting about on the day of. Also she got some great dance floor pics! I feel like the nighttime shots and the indoor ones are just as gorgeous as the daytime ones!!  If I ever need photoshoots for any life events, or if I ever have anyone needing a recommendation for a photographer, I will 100% refer them to Makayla. All my bridesmaids (which are designers/art directors from old jobs) were like wow she has the eye! The groomsmen thought Makayla was the coordinator. That's how much she was helping compared to the actual coordinator. I will add some of the photos so you can see how STUNNING THEY ARE. Even from the sneak peeks I'm having a hard time narrowing down which shots to post! Her work speaks for itself!! Thank you for making my day run smoothly and for photos I will cherish forever.”

Hi, I'm Dennis, the photographer and filmmaker behind B4M Photography & Film, based in Redding, Northern California, and happy to travel. My style is warm, cinematic, and timeless: soft light, real emotion, and the in-between moments most people forget are happening. I want your gallery to feel the way your day actually felt. B4M is full-service, I shoot and film weddings of every size, from big celebrations to quiet elopements, and my partner Jess can write and officiate your ceremony, so it all lives under one roof. If that sounds like your kind of person, I'd love to hear your story.

“Our wedding gallery tells the full story of the day from beginning to end. The getting-ready photos, ceremony, portraits, reception, and candid moments all flow together beautifully. Dennis captured the real feeling of the day, not just how it looked. We will treasure these images forever.”

Vargas Visuals 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Gazelle, CA

I have been doing hobby photography for 10 plus years. My interest started when I was in high school, mainly focusing on portrait photography. As I got older, my interests grew into landscape, sports, weddings, events and just about everyday life. While my interests grew, I knew I wanted to make this more than a hobby for myself. I am a wife, mom, a family girl and I believe not every moment happens perfectly. Sometimes the best moments are loud, messy, emotional, silly, spontaneous and completely unplanned. And those are the moments I love to capture.

“We had an incredible experience with Vargas Visuals from start to finish. The photographer was responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, she took her time to make sure every detail was perfect before capturing each shot, and it really paid off in the final images. Her work exceeded what we expected, and the photos are absolutely stunning. We felt so comfortable around her, which helped us relax and just enjoy the moment. We'd recommend Vargas Visuals to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about getting it right.”

We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!”

“Unmatched, epic, insanely talented artist and masterpiece! We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Julia Goldberg. From the very first email, zoom meetings, to the moment she arrived at our hotel the morning of our wedding to the very last minute eight hours later, she was the definition of professionalism, talent, and calm energy. Julia gave my husband and I our dream wedding day in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, direction, and posing skills made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and she somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making it so fun and natural. She was an absolute ROCKSTAR the entire day, anticipating moments before they happened and capturing them so beautifully and effortlessly. When working with her, you feel as if you’ve known her your whole life. Beyond her impressive talent, Julia is just an amazing person to be around. She is personable, friendly, kind, funny, and so outgoing—it honestly felt like we had a close friend by our side all day. That kind of presence made such a difference and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And the sneak peek photos… omg we were BEYOND blown away and I cried tears of joy and am still at a loss for words looking at them everyday! Receiving them in less than 48 hours was already impressive, but the photos themselves were beyond anything we could have imagined—stunning, romantic, emotional, and perfectly capturing the magic of our day. She is worth every penny and more! From the day I found her Instagram and website, I knew there was no other photographer I could use for our wedding. Whether you’re getting married at the iconic San Francisco City Hall, on a Safari in Africa, or under the northern lights, she has the itinerary mapped out to a T and gives you the resources to make your day absolutely seamless while always keeping you in the loop and making you feel important and valued. It was truly a dream come true to have Julia as our wedding photographer. We could not have had a more treasured and memorable day without her, and we will be forever grateful. 10000000/10 experience and I want to get married over and over just to have her shoot us again! Thank you again, Julia-you made my wedding dreams come true️”

I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

“My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.”

Every story is personal to me — I’m not just your photographer, I’m your teammate throughout the day.

We aren’t very photogenic. Georgy would help and teach us how to pose and stand. Very grateful for him to fix us during our photoshoots. I’d say, Georgy is very dedicated in his work. During our engagement photoshoot, he arrived early to the location scouting out perfect areas and snap a few pictures to test. Also, on the day of our wedding, the original location did not work out as planned. Georgy thought quickly on his feet and suggested another location that wasn’t too far away.

She made the whole process feel so natural and enjoyable, which was so important on such a big day. Not only was she professional, but she went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect. For example, when I was struggling to pin something to my dress, she immediately jumped in to help—something totally outside her job description, but she did it with a smile and made sure everything was perfect. It was those little thoughtful gestures that truly set her apart. And of course, the photos are nothing short of stunning! We absolutely love her style and the way she uses color. She made sure to capture every important moment, and we now have beautiful memories to cherish forever.

She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.”

“Brayley was an integral part of our wedding day! Her timeline was so helpful in planning how to get the shots I wanted. She was fun to work with and it just felt like we were hanging out with a friend rather than posing for pictures. The sneak peaks we have gotten back so far are amazing. The golden hour photos have taken my breath away. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for both timeless and fun photos. She is so easy to communicate with and I felt like I could ask any question.”

Based in the Reno & Lake Tahoe area, but travel encouraged. I first picked up a camera a decade ago, but it’s taken time to cultivate the relationship I have with photography today. My passion lies in capturing honest moments & documenting stories that feel real & personal. Whether it’s the joy of a wedding, excitement of an engagement, or intimacy of a quiet elopement, my goal is to create images that reflect genuine connections. When I look through the lens, the world seems to stand still, giving me the chance to catch my breath & find beauty in the moment. It allows me to create timeless images that celebrate your story & feel authentic.
