“Ozan Ulucan Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Ozan, his communication was comprehensive, outgoing and clear. It was evident he has a creative, artistic eye that would capture our day in a unique way. On the wedding day, Ozan arrived early and hit the ground running, snapping photos right away and keeping up the energy and pace throughout the entire event. His experience shone through as he was comfortable facilitating numerous group photos and offering great suggestions on positioning. Ozan also scoped out the venue ahead of time and brought us to multiple spots for one-of-a-kind photos we hadn't even thought of taking on our own. The final edited photos were delivered quickly after the wedding, and the quality was truly professional and a cut above the rest. We received so many photos organized by different times during the wedding including getting ready, ceremony, portraits, family portraits, reception, night, and details including photos of our venue, flowers, and place settings. We are thrilled with the memories Ozan was able to create for us through his exceptional work.”

  • Serves Gilroy, CA

I'm a photographer who loves, love and being able to share that through my lens is what drives everything I do. I have a deep adoration for storytelling and capturing the authentic, unscripted moments that matter most. I believe every love story is unique, and my goal is to bring excitement, ease, and a calming presence to your most important day. With a passion for preserving real emotions and meaningful memories, I aim to capture photographs that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

“Logan has been a good friend of mine for years, so asking her to photograph our engagement shoot was a no-brainer for me. Her natural ability to bring any vision to life, mixed with her unwavering work ethic, is what sets her apart. I can tell her one idea I have, and she will effortlessly create something better than I could have ever imagined. We have a 1965 Corvette in our family that I thought would be cool to use as part of our shoot. I trusted her to tell us where and how we could incorporate it, and she brought our vision to life. She goes above and beyond, even standing in the middle of the road in Carmel-by-the-Sea as cars try to pass, to bring that vision to life. Also, we are far from naturals in front of the camera. I always rely on Logan to give us ideas for how to create movement and relax. Working with someone so kind and able to make you feel comfortable is crucial, because it not only creates an outcome you will love, but you will have fun doing so as well.”

Hi! I’m Kristen a portrait & Wedding photographer based in the Bay Area. I am married to my favorite person since March 28, 2015. But we have been together for 15 years!! I love love to laugh and I love making people laugh, which is why I love photography so much! I love spontaneous trips to anywhere new and love any movie with Rachel McAdams.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Kristen is the best. From the start, when I first reached out to her about an engagement session and shooting for our wedding she was a pleasure to interact with and very responsive. I appreciated that she was upfront with her pricing and clear about what was included with each package. This was definitely not something I saw when reaching out with other photographers. We booked with her and had our engagement session with my now husbands two kids and our new dog, to say it was chaotic was an understatement but she was so nice and accommodating about it all. She made friends with my husband and made both of us feel very comfortable in a situation that isn’t so natural for us. Fast forward to our wedding, by this time we felt like we were friends with Kristen and her husband. They were an absolute delight! It’s 2 weeks after our wedding, we are in LOVE with our sneak peaks and we just had dinner with friends that were at the wedding and they had the best compliment for Kristen and her husband. They said they were amazing, the best photographers make you feel like they aren’t even there but still capture all of the important moments, and that is exactly what they did! The last thing I will mention is that I have had experiences with photographers that can be pretty intense and a little over the top which was something that never made me feel very comfortable. Kristen was the perfect balance between being approachable but also making sure we got all the shots that we needed. We will absolutely be working with her for all of our photography needs in the future!”

“I don’t even know where to begin… From our first conversation, I felt like I wasn’t just hiring a vendor, but gaining a team that genuinely cared about our wedding. They didn’t just show up with cameras — they guided us, calmed my nerves, and captured moments I didn’t even realize were happening. When we got our photos and video, I cried… not because I’m sentimental (which I am), but because they managed to catch the real “us” — the laughter, the glances, even the little chaos. Choosing them was honestly one of the best decisions we made for our day. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. You’ll thank yourself later.”

Hello! I’m so excited for the chance to work with you. I’m a former teacher who has always had a passion for photography. I started working freelance in 2015 and did a lot of my first jobs in the music industry. I shot Warped Tour a few times and even had one of my promos featured by AP magazine. I quickly realized I loved working with couples the most, and now focus on couple and family portraits and weddings!

“Thalia saved our wedding. We had to change photographers very last minute and were super worried about hiring someone new. Then we found Thalia and from the moment we had our first intro call with her we had a feeling that everything was going to work out. She was so professional, during our first call she was very well organized and clear about what she would need from us. She took her time to make sure we were a great match and to understand our vision. She was personable and kind, speaking with her felt like talking to a friend right away. She was considerate, during all parts of the wedding she made sure to give us time alone together and we never felt rushed. Even still she constantly captured the most breath taking photos. Lastly she was so much fun! Our guests loved her and thought she had the most wonderful energy. She directed us very well. Looking over the pictures I’ve never felt so beautiful. She even brought her own props to go with our theme for the pictures. A vintage camera and tray. Everything she did was so thoughtful. I wish we could have another wedding just to have her photograph it. You will not regret working with Thalia. We feel so incredibly lucky to have gotten the opportunity.”

Hi, I am Andy, a wedding and San Francisco City Hall photographer based in the Bay Area. I photograph couples who want their day to feel relaxed and unforced, while still looking polished and elegant in photos. I quietly document the real in between moments and then step in with gentle direction when you need it, so you never feel stiff or posed. From intimate City Hall ceremonies to full day weddings, I help you plan a simple timeline, find beautiful light, and make the most of every location. I personally edit each image with a clean, true to life style so your photos feel timeless and still like you many years from now.

“We are so happy we chose Andy for our wedding photos. From the start he was kind, organized and easy to be around. On the day he helped us relax, suggested simple poses and also let us just enjoy the moment. The photos turned out beautiful and very natural.

My name is Trung, the head honcho at this eponymously named company. My name is pronounced “Troon”, which sounds like spoon, so ignore those other letters that make life complicated. I've been a photographer for close to 10 years, photographing things big and small, far and wide. It's pretty incredible how impactful and valuable a split second image of a given time, place, person, or object can mean to a person. Whether it's a photograph of someone you love or a place you'd love to be, photographs spark memories or inspire the pursuit of new ones and that's why I love it.

“Trung went above and beyond as our wedding photographer! His photography is not only STUNNING and really captures the emotions of the moment, but he was incredibly organized, fun, and highly adept at problem solving. We wanted some shots by the ocean, but the wind made it a little difficult. Trung was calm in problem solving and his humor also helped make everything feel more relaxed. We can't express enough the difference he made in getting the shots we wanted, but also navigating everything so well! We are so happy to have gotten to work with him and highly recommend Trung!”

Storytelling that's crafted with care - Timeless. Classic. true-to-life. My approach to photography is rooted in storytelling. While I absolutely love to capture the big, meaningful moments of the day, I'm equally drawn to the quiet in-between moments that often become the most treasured memories. My approach is designed to help you stay present with each other and your loved ones while I document your wedding day as it naturally unfolds. Of course, I'll provide guidance when needed, but my goal is never to pull you out of the experience—it's to preserve it.

Sarah had a detailed timeline for my entire day and although we got a bit off track, she did her best to get us back on schedule in a warm and kind way. At no point did I feel bombarded, as Sarah has a wonderful calmness, kindness and professionalism about her that allowed me and my wedding party to truly relax and enjoy the day. Sarah captured all the big and small moments, and I am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Sarah Fischback Photography for any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience on their wedding day. Book her and her team and you will be able to truly enjoy!

The moments you remember most aren’t usually the ones that were planned. My approach is documentary-driven and unhurried, focused on connection, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that tend to mean the most later. I work best with couples who value presence over perfection and want images that feel honest, intimate, and timeless. Whether your day is big or small, traditional or unconventional, my goal is to create space for you to be fully yourselves — and to tell your story as it naturally unfolds.

“Sharyce was amazing from the first phone call we had. Sharyce quickly became not only our photographer but a confidant and friend. She traveled from CA to WI to shoot our wedding and she was worth every single penny! Her kindness, leadership, eye for detail, creativeness and her vision brought our wedding together and we are dying to see our full wedding album!! Book her! Now!!!! Sharyce holds a level of professionalism that is unmatched, while simultaneously being a friend. As my wife and I are apart of the LGBTQ community, we would love to give her a shoutout for her love and safety towards us and our love. We will forever be grateful to Sharyce for capturing our day and building a friend in the process. Thank you for capturing every detail with so much love.”

Hello there! I'm a storyteller and a destination photographer. My style is a blend of photojournalism and creativity. I'm always chasing to capture the perfect moment. Moment + Composition + Lighting. Capturing your wedding day unposed.

“We had a great experience with Esoimages. We first met him at the San Francisco Courthouse on a Wednesday (with our wedding date on that Friday) while he was preparing for another client’s photo session. He was professional, polite, approachable, and took the time to answer all of our questions. We were able to schedule an appointment with him on the spot, which was a huge relief since we didn’t have to spend time searching for a photographer. His pricing was very affordable, and the quality of the photos were perfect. We had never been to our venue before, but his knowledge of the area was impressive. He knew all the best locations and backgrounds for photos, which made the entire experience stress free and enjoyable. One thing we especially appreciated was allowing him permission to share some of our photos on his Instagram stories. It was a fun surprise from time to time and gave us a sneak peek of our pictures before receiving the final gallery. There was something special about opening Instagram and unexpectedly seeing moments from our memorable day. The final pictures turned out perfect, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We would absolutely use Esoimages again in the future and highly recommend him to our friends and family.”

HEY! I'm Sean, a Bay Area native who is pretty darn handy with a camera. My full-time photography journey began after losing my job in Art Education and STEM due to the pandemic.

My journey began with a deep passion for documenting life through a lens, from the rugged beauty of the California coast to the elegant architecture of San Francisco. I see myself as a partner for couples who have invested deeply in their wedding day and want a professional who values the weight of those memories. I strive to provide a seamless, high-end experience that honors your investment. My work is fueled by the belief that photography should be as memorable as the day itself, resulting in a classic gallery you will treasure for a lifetime.

“Stratos was a lovely photographer for our city hall wedding. He was patient, professional, and very kind to our families and us. He was very familiar with the location and mapped out shots and spots to best capture our day. The whole photography process was very streamlined. He was also receptive to our ideas and incorporated our thoughts into the photos. I am very happy with how the photos turned out and will recommend that anyone hire Stratos for your wedding.”

Hey! I’m a freelance wedding photographer with over five years of experience capturing love stories in a candid, editorial style. I focus on the genuine, unscripted moments—the nervous smiles, happy tears, and the little glances that say everything. Every couple’s story is different, and I love turning those memories into photos you’ll treasure forever. When I’m not shooting weddings, I’m usually chasing around my 2 year old, exploring new places, hiking, or cooking something delicious.

Hi, I’m Yana — the photographer behind The Y.K. Studio. With a background in fine art and documentary photography, I bring an intentional, editorial eye to your celebration day, balancing artistic composition with raw, honest storytelling. I will gently guide you in a way that feels authentic, allowing you to interact naturally and have the most joyful photographic experience.  Based in Pacifica but available all around the Bay Area and beyond.

“From our first conversation, we knew The Y.K. Studio was the right choice for us. Yana created a survey to learn who we are as a couple, which helped her capture the real love we share in our photos. The whole process was stress-free and efficient. Honestly, the easiest part of our wedding planning. We'd never done professional photos before, but Yana made us feel comfortable and the session itself was so fun. She communicated with us every step of the way and brought our vision to life through beautiful candid shots in black and white. Our photos came back quickly and exceeded our expectations. Yana was an absolute gem of a photographer!”
