Igor Faris Weddings 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Hermosa Beach, CA

Authentic documentary wedding photography for couples who value real emotions over perfect poses. Honest, timeless images with a film - inspired feel, capturing the quiet moments, genuine connections, and meaningful details that make your wedding day uniquely yours.

“We cannot say enough great things about Igor. Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions for us, and he completely exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, Igor was incredibly easy to work with. He was responsive, professional, and really took the time to understand what we wanted. On the wedding day, he brought such a calm and positive energy that made everything feel effortless. He guided us when needed but also captured so many natural, candid moments without us even realizing it. What truly sets Igor apart is his ability to tell a story through his photos. Every image feels intentional, emotional, and beautifully composed. Nothing feels forced or overly posed. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again. We also got so many compliments from our guests about how great he was to work with. He made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the photos. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about capturing your day in the most authentic way, we highly recommend Igor. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.”

My name is Sergio. My wife Desirée and I run LOVE by Sergirée together out of Los Angeles. I have been behind a camera for 15 years and weddings are where I do my best work. I shoot every wedding personally and edit every gallery myself, so what you see in our portfolio is exactly what you get. Desirée leads everything you cannot see, from the first email to the final album. Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony or a celebration with a full guest list, our approach is the same. Be present. Be honest. Let the moment unfold.

“From the initial communication all the way to the delivery of the photos, Sergirée were great to work with. They were super friendly, patient, and flexible with the entire process. During my actual wedding/celebrations, Sergio just had a chill and approachable demeanor about him that I really appreciated. Our wedding wasn't the most structured, so I was worried about getting the "right" shots, but Sergio was great at guiding for poses, and just always at the right place at the right time to catch so many beautiful moments. Also, they work super fast! We received our highlight shots and full gallery very quickly. Book them!!”

His co-shooter, Nika, was equally incredible—professional, kind, and such a calming presence on the day. Together, they made the entire experience feel effortless and fun, while still capturing every meaningful moment so beautifully. Honestly, Yin doesn’t even need reviews (his work speaks for itself) but we feel so grateful to have worked with someone so talented, genuine, and invested in telling our story. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to document such an important chapter of our lives.”

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Choosing Daniel from Indigo West as our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From our first conversation, we loved his calm, thoughtful demeanor and his organic, artistic approach to capturing the day. His eye for composition and detail is exceptional and the photos truly tell a story. As a same-sex couple, we wanted someone who could move beyond traditional wedding clichés, capture the grandeur of our museum venue (complete with dinosaur skeletons) while making it feel intimate, and handle dark, dramatic spaces. Daniel did all of that and more. He captured the energy, emotion, laughter, and joy of the day beautifully. Daniel was efficient but never rushed. He was professional yet playful, and it felt like he immediately understood our dynamic as a couple and with our guests. We trusted his vision completely, and it absolutely shows in the photos. Most importantly, Daniel brought such a fun, relaxed energy—it never felt like he was just doing a job. We can’t recommend him enough.”

“A little back story. My fiance at the time had a bad falling out with a photography company. They were not willing to perform the services how we requested and so with almost 3 weeks until the wedding I was lost. My fiance at the time had a friend who had recently got married and reached out to him for the contact info. Insert A + M Badillo. They were AMAZING from the start! Wonderful communication and helped put my anxiety to ease with their work. Fast forward to the day of the wedding and they were spot on! Made me feel comfortable throughout the entire time and took some amazing shots! I could not be happier! Now that we have recieved our photos back, people are raving about them, asking when I will send them the link so they can make copies! When we got our thumbdrive, our expectations flew through the roof yet again! They went above and beyond with a personal box with our last name burned into it and some gifts along with the thumb drive. They do not do the minimum at all and work together as the perfect pair when capturing your big day! 1000% recommend them and will refer anyone and everyone who needs a photographer to them! We will for sure be reaching out on our year anniversary to capture more moments with them!”

“We hired Nate, Vanessa & Keren to shoot our welcome party and wedding and HOLY COW they blew us away! From our first meetings over Zoom, we knew we'd made the right choice. Aside from their obviously gorgeous work, we chose them because their vibe is so down to earth, comforting, and fun. During the two parties, they were efficient and blended right in with our guests so all of our pictures felt organic, which was important to us. We opted to do half on film, half on digital and were completely speechless at how it all turned out. The cherry on top was how quickly we got our pictures back: we got the email one month after our wedding while we were on our honeymoon! So special to relive that day in that setting, and we were so impressed with that turnaround. We already know we'll be hiring this team down the road once we start a family.

They showed up early on our wedding day and had a gift for making us feel at ease in front of the camera with their warm and approachable style. The photos they delivered are stunning—artistic and flattering in ways we didn't even expect. We got our full gallery back quickly, which was such a relief, and every image captured the beauty of our celebration perfectly. Their intelligence and attention to detail shine through in every shot. If you're looking for a photographer, hire them—we couldn't be happier with our results.”

With over 24 years of experience behind the lens, Sam Sean Photography offers timeless, story-driven images that capture life’s most meaningful moments. Specializing in family portraits, weddings, and group photography, I’m passionate about creating natural, heartfelt images that reflect each client’s unique story. I began my career at Joey Ikemoto Photography Studio as a lead photographer, where I also managed the studio’s website and SEO strategy. That experience shaped my commitment to quality, client care, and technical excellence.

“Sam did a *phenomenal* job as our wedding photographer, and I treasure the beautiful memories he captured very much. Not only is he a gentleman and an absolute pleasure to work with, who couldn't be nicer, but he's a talented professional who knows exactly what he's doing. Our photographs are stunning; I still look at them years later. And there are soooooo many! From getting ready to the ceremony and reception - everything was captured wonderfully. I personally felt he had one of the most important jobs on this momentous occasion, and I am so glad we selected him as our photographer to preserve all these special moments so I can relive the day again and again. Stop your search and hire Sam; you will be so pleased you nabbed him. You will fall in love with his work, I guarantee it!!”
