Quentin Forest Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Grass Valley, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,900

I capture your wedding with energy, intention, and an eye for moments that matter most. My couples get more than beautiful photos – they get someone who keeps things organized, brings a fun and calming presence, and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The result is timeless images that feel as genuine as your love story.

As a wedding planner, I truly appreciate vendors who make the day easier for everyone, and Quentin does exactly that. He’s organized, professional, and has a calm, positive energy that couples naturally gravitate toward. He keeps portraits moving without making anyone feel rushed, communicates well with the vendor team, and captures genuine moments while staying seamlessly on timeline. His photos are beautiful, but what really stands out is the experience he creates for both the couple and everyone working alongside him. I never hesitate to recommend him.

I have been a wedding photographer for over a decade. I've shot hundreds of love stories, so I know the way to capture your day inside and out. I'll be there for you every step of the way to make sure everything goes smoothly so that these memories we make are cherished forever. I have called Nevada County my home for the past 10 years, I live a life full of adventure in search of waterfalls and stunning landscapes. Photography is more than just an art form. For me, it' s a spirit of self- discovery and connection that fuels my life in many ways. I find true passion by photographing people in love, expansive views, dips in the Yuba River.

We found Alyssa in 2018 when we were planing our wedding and the moment I saw her photography I knew I had to have her capture our union of love and our engagement photos. 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. She is our go to for every life event and has become a friend. She knows exactly how to direct you in a way that is so sweet and that makes you feel so at ease. Every photo she’s taken is stunning.

Capturing joyful moments in an easeful way. For 11 years now, I've grown a family alongside my business. 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.

My approach in photography is relaxed and lightly guided, leaving room for movement, connection, and images that feel nostalgic and timeless. I’m especially drawn to in-home family sessions — unhurried, familiar, and captured in the spaces where life is already growing. It would be my honor to document your sweet moments with family and loved ones!

Absolutely love Annette and highly recommend her!! She did our engagement photos and they totally exceeded what I was expecting!!! They came out so stunning, and she captured every type of photo/pose I wanted!

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!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

I am really interested in other people. I like to find out about you. I believe we all have value, and everybody deserves to be happy. Sour Pusses are quite the bummer, and seriousness is overrated. I really believe there should be very little reason for people to not get along. EVERYONE is welcome. I LOVE nostalgia, and having my work appreciated enough to be on your walls is the best feeling. I roast my own coffee, I am a friek for Legos, old black and white movies, the ocean, the forest, the jungle, and chatting with people.

It was serendipitous that I came across Daniel's instagram randomly in the early stages of wedding planning, and the most recent photos happened to be from the venue we'd chosen so it was clear he knew the venue and that his pictures were magical. Our wedding planners were thrilled that we had found him as they have all worked together and have a great working relationship. Daniel is exuberant and brings such authentic enthusiasm to his work. He was super helpful in the day of planning, and on the day managed our timeline with great efficiency and professionalism. All of our guests were highly impressed at his commitment to getting every shot both posed and candid of us, our families, and portraits of our guests. My husband's most important moment to capture was sunset and our sunset photos are beyond stunning. We had a really positive experience working with Daniel as a person and photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture a wedding or any special event.

Working with Rachel Reynolds Co. on our wedding this past weekend was an absolute joy and delight. Rachel partnered closely with us to ensure every moment was captured. From the first click to the last, her coverage was incredibly thorough, leaving no detail overlooked. I was lucky enough to join her call with our bride ahead of the wedding and heard how she expertly guided her through shot list development, support in family photo discussions, and made sure she got every portrait on her Pinterest board sorted. What really set Rachel apart is how comfortable our couple was in her capable hands. My bride and groom are the type of people who usually feel pretty awkward in front of a lens, but Rachel has this magic ability to make the camera disappear. She turned what could have been a stressful part of the day into something they were actually excited about. They went from camera-shy to completely comfortable, and that genuine joy radiated in the final shots. The photos are, quite simply, outstanding. If you want a photographer who brings both high-level professionalism and a vibe that puts everyone at ease, Rachel is the one.

You know that friend who always gets your good angles? Brings her digital camera to every event, and when it's photo time she'll fix your hair, tuck in the tag that's sticking out, move your arm just so, then pull out a flash you didn't even know she had for better lighting. That's me. I'll get shot that'll make you fall in love with you again.

Working with Ela for our Save the Date session was a wonderful experience from start to finish. She has an incredible eye for detail and guided me and my fiancé through poses in a way that felt entirely natural and effortless. Not only is the final gallery breathtaking, but Ela was professional, warm, and exceptionally talented throughout the shoot.

Lisa Richmond is a phenomenally talented photographer. Lisa is an artist at heart and her attention to detail in her work shows her tremendous talent. She takes a lot of time to get to know her clients before the day of the wedding, so all parties are comfortable in sharing such intimate moments together in front of the camera. She has a great eye for capturing key family members important to the wedding couple, along with great timing of moments such as the 'first look' and photographing unforgettable facial expressions. Throughout the wedding day, she is silently present capturing moments on camera, allowing these to organically occur, and not be forced. Within her photographs she transforms the moments to tell a story of your wedding day, and in result, you are left with an album of beautifully artistic photographs eliciting wonderful memories and a new friend in Lisa!

If you’ve landed here, my guess is you want the perfect balance. Someone who will give you direction during your couple’s portraits, while avoiding making you feel like you’re on the MET gala red carpet during your ceremony. I’m here to help you feel at ease, to make jokes, to reassure you everything and nothing matters all in the same breath. I take years of stealthy concert photography skills and apply that to documenting the candid familial embrace. The wild shirtless last dance of the evening. The moment when you two look at each other after all the speeches are done, and you realize how wonderful it is to be showered with so much love.

Jess was an absolute dream to work with. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which honestly made such a difference on a day that can be a little overwhelming. Her eye for capturing the real, beautiful moments—both big and small—is just incredible. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the whole day in the best way. She’s warm, grounded, and so talented. I can’t recommend her enough.
