Moments by Frank

Your wedding deserves more than just photos—it deserves an experience. With over 15 countries captured, I create timeless, editorial, and emotionally rich images that transport you back to the moment. Every glance, every touch, every fleeting second—preserved with artistry and intention.

Where do we even start? Choosing Moments by Frank was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We knew we wanted a photographer who wouldn’t just take beautiful pictures but would truly capture how the day felt—and wow, did they deliver. Looking through our photos and watching our video was emotional in the best way possible. It wasn’t just a collection of pretty moments—it was our wedding, exactly as we remembered it. The joy, the happy tears, the way our families looked at us, the little in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening… they caught it all. It felt like stepping right back into that day, and we can’t stop looking at them. But what made the experience even better? Frank and his team felt like old friends. From the moment we inquired with him, he was so friendly and social and so easy to get along with him. On the wedding day, they blended in so seamlessly with our family and friends, making everyone feel comfortable. The last thing we wanted was to feel like we were stuck in a never-ending photoshoot, and they got that. They let the moments unfold naturally, gave just enough direction when needed, and made sure we could actually be present on our wedding day. If you’re looking for a team that’s not just talented but also genuinely amazing to be around, this is it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Hi There! I'm Katherine (or Kay!). I've loved weddings for as long as I could remember and I believe I have one of the best jobs in the whole world. I love being able to capture moments from one of the best days of a couples lives and I get to do it alongside my best friend, my Husband. You could call us nerds; we love Harry Potter, puzzles and video games. Our favorite vacation spot is definitely Las Vegas and we both love good Mexican food. We have two fur babies; Bella and Betsy and yes they are so spoiled. The Husband, Abraham (or Bram) is also an engineer when he's not capturing weddings and a Cal Poly alum.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kay and Bram were an absolute joy to work with! It also helped they are total dog lovers like my husband and I, and captured the absolute best images of our boy, Maverick. I don’t think there was one moment where we were NOT smiling or laughing around these two, and it put my anxious mind completely at ease. They are affordable, hard-working, and completely matched our photography vision (lighter) for our most important day. I don’t think there are enough words to express my gratitude for the talent these two possess, but for now…thank you, Kay and Bram, for everything you have done for us. We truly adore you and are so lucky to have befriended you! - Chelsea, Neal, and Mav

We hired Vic for our wedding photography, and she was amazing to work with from start until finish. She was mindful of what we were hoping for, and went above and beyond to make our day seamless while capturing the moments most important to us. We truly appreciated her communication and timeliness throughout the planning process and especially on our wedding day. We opted for her package that includes an engagement shoot—which we highly recommend—it was a great opportunity to get more comfortable in front of a camera (which my husband and I are not typically used to) and we love those photos too. She sent the initial portfolio to us quickly after our wedding, and then edited them beautifully. We couldn’t have asked for more, and will cherish the memories she captured forever.

Randall de Leon Photography

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!

From first contact to wedding day, I am so happy to have chosen Elle and Co. and specifically Dani.  I couldn't be happier with communication, energy, and direction while taking photos.  Our Colorado elopement was beautiful and Dani helped with every step including finding a wonderful spot.  She kept us updated on weather and timeline so we had nothing to worry about and even hyped us up beforehand.  During my boudoir shoot she made extra effort to make me comfortable since I've never done anything like that before.  The pictures were so good and made the perfect wedding day gift for my new hubby.  Highly recommend Elle and Co. to anyone who has photography needs but especially if you think you might want to elope to a gorgeous spot and do a private event or if you want to take some boudoir type photos for a special gift.  She goes above and beyond with everything she does and you can't do better.  Thanks Dani!!

Hi, I'm Georgy Shishkin — a wedding and elopement photographer with over 19 years of experience capturing love stories in breathtaking landscapes. Based in Oregon, I photograph weddings across the Pacific Northwest, California, and British Columbia. My background in photojournalism taught me how to anticipate real emotion, while my years in wedding photography taught me how to guide and support couples in front of the camera. I love helping people who’ve never modeled before feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely connected. Every story is personal to me — I’m not just your photographer, I’m your teammate throughout the day.

We eloped. Just the two of us, mountains around, wrapped in a checkered blanket with our hearts racing and headlights glowing behind us — and Georgy somehow turned all of that into pure poetry. These are, without exaggeration, the most beautiful photos we’ve ever had taken. Not just because of the location or the light (which were stunning), but because Georgy captured something deeper: how we felt. The joy, the quiet, the closeness, the nervous laughter… every photo feels like a little window back into that day. He made us feel completely comfortable, even in the middle of wild nature. It never felt staged or forced — just natural, gentle, and easy. Georgy gave us space to be ourselves and somehow still knew exactly when to click the shutter. We’re so grateful. These images are more than wedding photos — they’re memories we’ll carry forever. If you’re considering booking Georgy: do it. He has an incredible eye, a calming presence, and a gift for turning fleeting moments into timeless art. Thank you!!!

Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

We love, love, love the pictures we got from Peterson Design and Photography of our engagement and from our wedding! We are so pleased they were able to capture all those important moments from the ceremony as they happened and help us remember that part of the day. We are happy we'll always have those to look back on . After having our successful engagement photo shoot with Marisa and Tim, we were very confident that they would be able to capture our special day for us. There are so many great shots of our joyful day. I can clearly see right after the ceremony that I was so excited to hear the beginning of the celebratory Star Wars music that I gestured with my bouquet towards them, but I forgot about that until I saw the picture they caught of that moment - well done and thank you! We so appreciate their passion and enthusiasm for what they do - it really comes through the lens, and it made us feel relaxed, but excited too for our special day.

My name is Haley Wilde and I am a digital and 35mm film photographer based in Southern California. I specialize in all things surrounding love because I am a sucker for a good old fashioned love story. I would absolutely love to not only capture you love, but truly celebrate alongside you. I was a wedding planner for 3+ years prior to photography, so my knowledge and genuine passion for the wedding industry and serving my couples sets me apart from other photographers!

We cannot recommend Haley enough for your wedding photography needs! We discovered Haley through Instagram and were immediately impressed by her work. From our very first interaction, Haley was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Haley made the photography aspect seamless. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but Haley's friendly and calming demeanor put us completely at ease during our engagement shoot. She took the time to understand our personalities and preferences, which really showed in the photos. On our wedding day, Haley was a true professional. She was patient, took initiative when needed, capturing all the most precious moments—from our first look with our grandparents to our private vows. The photos turned out beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the way she documented our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures stunning images but also makes you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process, Haley is the one. Whether it's engagements, weddings, or any other special event, Haley's talent and dedication shine through. Don't hesitate to hire her—you won't regret it!
