We absolutely LOVE the way our photos turned out. We had two photographers and both of them were very nice to work with. They got great detail shots and candid photos, which was important to me. All of our guests were captured in photos throughout the night. The process of filling out the questionnaires prior to the event was easy and straightforward. They have a portal you get access to with lots of information as well as an easy way to contact your team. I could not be happier with our photographers!

Imagery by Carissa Dugoni 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Grass Valley, CA

I’m Carissa, a California-based wedding photographer specializing in true-to-color editing, candid documentary coverage, and natural, editorial-style portraits. My work focuses on real connection, emotional storytelling, and the in-between moments that define a wedding day. With more than a decade of experience, I photograph weddings with an intentional, relaxed approach that helps couples feel comfortable, authentic, and fully present. My husband, Tyler, joins me as our videographer, bringing the same warm, storytelling-driven style to every celebration.

Ethereal, candid, jovial, refined are some of the buzzwords that the images of our oak tree & hanging lights, spring evening, 100 person ranch wedding brings to mind. Carissa made sure to get an idea of our and our family's priorities and vision for our wedding day photography months in advance. As the day approached she nailed down specifics of timing and herding those dear to us to capture everything we wanted! She has an eye for catching family dynamics, sweet background moments, and her whole team is quick to drop to the floor to get the perfect golden hour angle, play with long exposure, or get some kids laughing! They coordinated wonderfully with our other vendors throughout the day on things like equipment positioning and audio capture. We knew we would love any photos of us as a couple on the happiest day of our lives, but the width of their professional and personal vision for the whole picture is what truly captured our hearts. Thank you Dugonis for loving on us!

Te Dua Weddings

  • Serves Grass Valley, CA

I started shooting photos and video in Greece, and since moving to the US, I have dedicated myself to shooting weddings, elopements and engagements. I love being able to capture the love that my couples have for each other and the unique energy each couple has. I am always down to shoot in new locations and find the best place for my shoots!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first phone call, Enea set the tone for everything that followed. We’re not “picture people” at all, so the idea of an engagement shoot at San Francisco City Hall had us both quietly panicking. Enea’s warmth, humor, and genuine conversation melted every ounce of awkwardness away. We laughed more than we posed, and somehow walked out with **stunning, frame-worthy shots** that still make us grin. My husband loved them so much he had them printed and sewn onto the lining of the vest he wore on our wedding day – talk about a keepsake! Come the wedding day, Te Dua’s team was a dream. We got all the classic staged portraits we wanted, but what stole our hearts were the candid, in-the-moment captures: friends tearing up the dance floor, champagne toasts mid-laugh, family members just having a good time every second of joy preserved forever. And then there’s Luke, the videographer – wow. The highlight film he delivered is straight out of a Hollywood romance. The editing, the music, the pacing… it’s an emotional roller-coaster that replays the entire day in under ten minutes. I’ve watched it on repeat and cry every single time. Turnaround wasn’t instant, but every second of the wait was worth it. The quality, care, and artistry shine through in every photo and frame of video. Te Dua Weddings Photography isn’t just a vendor – they’re memory-makers. If you want to relive your day with tears of happiness for years to come, book them. 10/10, no hesitation, highly recommend!

She made us feel so confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Her energy is infectious. 6 years later we still use her for every photoshoot we do- 2 pregnancy shoots, family shoots, interior design shoots.

Now with a husband and two kids in tow, I've gained a deeper appreciation for the small and fleeting moments in life and I find so much in joy in being able to capture some of it for my clients.

Aimi is so talented with a camera. She created a story of our day through her photos- weaving in portraits with unbelievable candids. She captured our love so well and went above and beyond to include stills of the location, small details of the wedding, and our guests. She took goregous portraits of families in attendance, which was such a delight to share with them. Every guest kept staying how incredible our photos were. She also captured film photography as well. She was worth EVERY PENNY. I cannot recommend her enough.

Heather Blackwood Photography

  • Serves Grass Valley, CA

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

Heather was wonderful to work with! We are the awkward type in front of a camera, but working with Heather made everything seem so stress-free during our wedding planning and photo sessions. Our engagement photo session was fun and care-free and we unbeknownst to all of us, she actually ended up taking beautiful photos of our beautiful rabbit, Trixie before she passed on the following month. Something that we truly appreciated and will never forget. For our wedding, Heather was very detailed and gave us a run down of what to expect for the photos. Nothing was hidden and she was up front about it all and asked if we wanted to add anything as well. Although Mother Nature had other plans for the day, we were still able to get the majority of our photos done. She even snuck in polaroid photos that were just too adorable - And I have no idea when she even took them! We received our wedding photos back and everyone absolutely loves them. I just love her style. While there are some photographers who do a large amount of filter/presets (no shade to those who do), there's just something about Heather's style of being able to keep it clean and natural that I just love! With Mother Nature having other plans with making it a misty ceremony and a downpour reception, we did miss out on doing a handful of photos of cocktail hour. Because of that, Heather was quick to offer us a bridal session to take some additional photos to complete our wedding. Instead of returning to the venue, we actually decided to relocate to Fort Bragg and take photos at the Mendocino Garden. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous with the oceanic background and the dahlias that she chose to work with. She made everything seem so light-hearted and there was so much laughter with each session. Thank you Heather for everything you did throughout our wedding planning and so much more. You've captured so many wonderful moments and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Nicole isn't just an amazing photographer. She's an ally on the day of the wedding. She's a calming presence reminding you to ENJOY one of the biggest moments of your life. And she gets everything you want (and more) naturally, and in the style that represents who you are as a couple. We had to do a COVID wedding, and Nicole handled it so flawlessly that we wouldn't think of working with anyone else once we finally get to throw a larger party. SHE'S INCREDIBLE! You'll love your photographs AND your wedding day.

I am Dana Gualco, a natural light and golden hour photographer based in Roseville, CA, serving the Sacramento area and beyond. My passion for photography is rooted in the belief that everyone has a unique story to tell, and I am dedicated to capturing yours with authenticity. Specializing in weddings, engagements, and portraits, I focus on the meaningful details that you will cherish for a lifetime. My goal is to provide high-resolution, timeless images that reflect the raw emotion and beauty of your celebration, turning your fleeting milestones into priceless heirlooms.

From the very first conversation, Dana completely understood the assignment — our vision, our vibe, and what mattered most to us. On the wedding day, she was the definition of calm and collected. While everything else felt like a whirlwind, she was steady, organized, and reassuring in the best way. She captured the day perfectly — not just the big moments, but the subtle, emotional ones we didn’t even realize were happening. Her creativity truly set her apart. Every shot felt intentional, artistic, and uniquely us. She found beautiful light, thoughtful angles, and little in-between moments that turned into some of our favorite photos. I have worked with Dana on every milestone, from engagement photos to gorgeous family portraits. It feels like she is a part of the family and we trust her with all of life’s special moments implicitly. If you’re looking for someone who is calm under pressure, incredibly talented, and genuinely gifted at telling your story through photos, stop searching. She’s it!

Throughout the entire process they had amazing communication, they were super organized and didn’t let the weather affect their work either! I would choose them to photograph other important milestones over and over again.

WOW! They turned out absolutely stunning! Every single one captured a beautiful moment, including our goofy ones. We are blown away by the amount and depth of detail in each photo. The colors are incredible and the emotions are expressed so vividly! When we went through them, we can guarantee you that we felt the way we did that day all over again and we can’t thank you enough for the immense amount of hard work you put into our event and this project. We are very happy and lucky we found such wonderful photographers. We can’t wait until we can frame our favorites and share them with everyone! Thank you so much!

Hello there, I'm Mariea (sounds like Maria). I'm thrilled that you want to know more about me! I would love to meet you both, but in the mean time: Kurt and I (husband and wife team along with two other associate photographers) have been photographing weddings for well over ten years now and ABSOLUTELY love our job and clients. Our shooting style is quietly unobtrusive but we also know how to wrangle a rowdy bunch :)

Mariea has a great eye for detail and is always ready to get those great candids in that you didn't expect. No picture is the same. She is very organized, provides you with a very detailed timeline and makes sure that you get the most and best pictures. She truly cares!
