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 Fischback Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the start, Sarah was professional, attentive, kind and extremely organized. My sneak peak pictures are absolutely stunning - the photos are crisp, gorgeous and capture the natural beauty of our background as well as myself and my family in a beautiful way. 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!

They don’t just capture moments they protect them.

Their professionalism is matched only by their heart.

You can feel how much they care about their craft and their couples, and it shows in every frame.

“We were blown away by Adam! We truly felt he went above and beyond for our wedding. I could go on and on but the whole process from start to finish was seamless and Adam’s years of experience were very apparent. From the creative direction he offered while posing us/our wedding party to the candid moments captured, you’d never believe he shot our wedding single-handedly. Adam’s hilarious and kept the mood light which was a huge plus. Amazingly, he had all our photos returned to us within 48 hours of the wedding and they were stunning. Can’t recommend him more!”

“Thomas is the best! He is unbelievably talented and his communication throughout the entire process was clear, professional, and reassuring, which made everything so smooth and stress-free. He captured every special moment beautifully and from all the perfect angles. The photos are stunning and feel so natural and timeless. We’re so grateful to have these amazing memories to look back on, all thanks to his talent and eye for detail. He also included an engagement shoot that we had a couple of weeks before the wedding and those pictures are just unbelievably beautiful! He will tell you which poses to do and guide you to make sure the pictures come out perfect and natural. The number of pictures that he delivered was insane, and they’re all amazing! He sent over some pictures the day after the wedding and sent the complete list of pictures just a week after the wedding, which is an insane turnaround! He also had a couple of small cameras lying around and gave them to bridesmaids to capture their perspectives of our wedding. Thomas was the perfect person for the job and I highly recommend him if you’re looking for the absolute best wedding photographer! Several of our family and friends told us he is the best photographer they have ever seen as they watched him sprint all over the venue throughout the night to capture every single moment of our magical evening. That’s enough of me talking, you can take a look at some of the pictures he captured, his work is the best I’ve ever seen and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him!”

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Hercules, CA

I photograph intimate weddings and elopements with intention, emotion, and a little bit of edge. My approach is simple: your photos should feel like you. Real, raw and timeless, not stiff or performative. I'm here to catch the unplanned magic and the editorial moments that make your story look and feel as fabulous as you do.

“I had the absolute privilege of having Shawna capture my engagement photos, and later, serve as my second shooter on my wedding day. I say “privilege” because I still can’t believe someone so kind, genuine, and sweet truly exists. When I first met Shawna and her husband Patrick for our engagement session, they made the entire experience so easy and fun, even though my husband and I are far from comfortable in front of a camera. They made the session completely about us, helping us feel relaxed and natural. The moment we finished, I knew there was no way I could imagine my wedding day without Shawna being a part of it. At the wedding, Shawna seamlessly collaborated with my main photographer. She was professional, detail-oriented, and fully committed to making sure our day was as perfect as it could be. But Shawna went beyond just photography, she truly got to know us as a couple, took the time to learn what mattered to us, and poured her passion not only into her work but into us as clients. On my wedding morning, I was having a really difficult time, but the second Shawna arrived, her smile and calming presence gave me comfort I can’t even put into words. She immediately asked, “How can I help?”… and she meant it. She jumped right in, kept me grounded, and reminded me to enjoy the moment. I will never regret choosing Shawna for my photos. Not only did I gain beautiful memories captured forever, but I also feel like I’ve gained a friend for life.”

I’m Cherlyn (rhymes with Berlin). So nice to e-meet you! If we met in person and it wasn’t during a pandemic- I would probably hug you! I’m an introvert-extrovert and tend to ramble too much when I get nervous. In emails - I tend to use exclamation points a lot!! (and will agonize over my drafts of emails before sending them because they probably have one too many!!) My aim as your photographer is to provide a memorable experience where you two feel comfortable, taken care of, and get to fully enjoy your wedding day as much as possible with all your guests & loved ones - whether they be in real life or via livestream!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Cherlyn was a dream photographer for my small Santa Clara wedding held at the newly renovated chapel at the clerk-recorder's office. She had experience photographing there before, which was a major reason why I picked her to document my special day, in addition to her documentary-style photography which suited my shy spouse. I wanted someone who would be able to take formal photographs in addition to candids for the courthouse wedding and Chinese dinner to follow, and she more than understood the assignment. She took the time to scope out scenic areas near the office and even stayed for the dinner afterwards. She was a wonderful conversationalist and helped everyone feel at ease. I really treasure all the moments she was able to capture for us.”

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

We greatly appreciated how much she wanted to know us and our personalities in advance of our wedding day. We ended every zoom call or email exchange feeling confident in our decision to work with her. The weather on our wedding day wasn’t very cooperative, but Jenna and team were on the lookout for any break in the rain so that we could go up to the roof and get a few pictures.

These memories are far more precious than any staged photo, and these are the memories I want to capture for you on your big day.

She was diligent on creating and executing a shotlist and even added in some family portrait combinations that I missed on the first round. Her thoughtful process makes you feel like a priority and I knew my vision was safe in her hands. Her work is phenomenal and she's an absolute pleasure to work with.”

Hi, I’m Hayden! With over 300 weddings captured, I take a journalistic approach to photography, documenting authentic moments as they naturally unfold. I shoot with both film and digital to create timeless, heartfelt images that tell your unique love story. With a go-with-the-flow mentality, I will capture moments as they come and turn them into beautiful memories.

“I cannot say enough great things about Hayden!! His pictures are so beautiful, his editing style is amazing and he has such an eye for all the perfect shots to get. He was very communicative and helped coordinate the morning when our DOC was nowhere to be found.”

I'm a passionate photographer who finds joy in collaborating with creative minds to capture extraordinary moments. By day, I channel my expertise into high-quality construction work, while my artistic pursuits in photography allow me to explore my creativity and connect with others on a profound level.

“From start to finish, working with Will was so refreshing. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he also has a truly artistic eye that brings every photo to life. Every single image he delivered was stunning, beautifully composed, full of emotion, and captured with such an authentic feel. What really stood out to us was how effortless and seamless the entire photography process felt. Will has this calm and warm energy that instantly put us (and everyone else) at ease. During the bridesmaids' photoshoot, he created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere - it honestly felt more like hanging out with a friend than posing for pictures! He encouraged us to be ourselves, let loose, and enjoy the moment, and the result was a set of natural, joyful, and candid shots that we’ll cherish forever. It felt like Will was genuinely part of the celebration — laughing with us, hyping us up - you could tell he genuinely loves what he does and was fully present with us in the moment. His enthusiasm was infectious, and it felt like he was celebrating right alongside us, which made the whole experience even more special. He was also incredibly patient and professional throughout the day. Never once did we feel rushed or staged, he took his time to get the right shots while making sure we stayed present and enjoyed the experience. I genuinely cannot recommend Will enough. His talent speaks for itself, but it’s his personality, passion, and dedication that make him truly exceptional. If you’re looking for someone who will not only take beautiful photos but also enhance your wedding day experience, Will is 100% the one. We’d recommend him a million times over!”

I am an East Coast transplant wedding photographer based in the SF Bay area. I’m super laid back and kind of a goofball… I like to have fun during my photo sessions to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera!

“J. Lee Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day! The quirky and fun communication style made her super easy to talk to, and we felt at ease with her from the start. Not only did she include our engagement photos, but captured our wedding day beautifully as well. We received so many gorgeous photos back that we could hardly choose which ones to post - the value was incredible for the quality of the work. She was a pleasure to have around, and we even spotted her out on the dance floor with us, capturing all the fun moments. The guests and I loved having her there to document our special day. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend J. Lee Photography to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer.”

My name is Connie and I have been shooting weddings and portraits for over 15years. The goal for me is to give my client an heirloom of their wedding day to pass down to generations to come. As a young kid, I remember staring at my parents black and white wedding photos for a long time. It captivated me. I am very lucky to have those memories and that is what I want for my clients. I love capturing beautiful imagery through posing, beautiful light and when there isn't light, I like to create it. I can be a goof ball capturing the unexpected filled laughter. Come look at my work, and hopefully we can connect.

“Would highly recommend Connie to anyone I know that will have a wedding. She was very fun and is flexible of where you want photos taken. Her prices are definitely fair! Will never forget Connie for what she did for us at wedding.”

Hi, I’m Briana! I was born and raised in The Northern Chicago Suburbs, and now reside in The San Fransisco Bay Area. I’ve been behind the camera for over 10 years, capturing everything from everyday moments to life’s biggest milestones. When I’m not photographing, I’m a gymnastics coach, which means I spend a lot of time encouraging little ones, celebrating small wins, and keeping things fun and positive. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me hanging out with my friends, playing with my cats Lana, Levi, and Zoe, checking out a good brewery, or just enjoying my quiet time.

“We are beyond thrilled with our engagement photos! Briana was amazing at making us feel comfortable and relaxed, which made for beautiful photos. Every photo was a perfect reflection of our love and personalities. The attention to detail and creativity was outstanding. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and how she helped our vision become reality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for professional, stunning engagement photos!"”
