Ripple Rain Photography

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Idyllwild, CA

The moments you remember most aren’t usually the ones that were planned. My approach is documentary-driven and unhurried, focused on connection, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that tend to mean the most later. I work best with couples who value presence over perfection and want images that feel honest, intimate, and timeless. Whether your day is big or small, traditional or unconventional, my goal is to create space for you to be fully yourselves — and to tell your story as it naturally unfolds.

Working with Ripple Rain Photography was an absolute dream from start to finish! From the moment we first connected, she was easygoing, approachable, and incredibly professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. As a gay couple, finding someone who truly understands and celebrates love in all its forms was so important to us, and Ripple Rain Photography exceeded all our expectations. She brought a warm, inclusive energy that made us feel seen, respected, and celebrated. Ripple Rain Photography was more than just a photographer; she was a genuine part of our special day. She engaged with us and our guests effortlessly, making everyone feel comfortable and capturing authentic, beautiful moments. Her ability to direct us naturally while also letting our personalities shine was a testament to her talent and experience. And the pictures—oh my goodness—the pictures are beyond stunning! Every shot radiates with love, joy, and the magic of the day. From candid moments to perfectly composed portraits, she has an eye for detail and creativity that brought our wedding memories to life. The quality of her work is unparalleled, and her work ethic is impeccable. She went above and beyond to ensure every moment was captured perfectly, even staying late to snap a few last-minute shots we requested. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, artistic, and truly passionate about her craft, look no further than Ripple Rain Photography. She is an absolute gem, especially for LGBTQ couples who want someone who “gets it” and makes the experience unforgettable. We cannot recommend her highly enough and will cherish her work forever. Thank you, Ripple Rain Photography, for capturing the best day of our lives so beautifully! Ivan & Tommy Sunderland

Justin really nailed it. He was flexible, easy to reach, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

Chasing Light Photo & Film

  • Serves Idyllwild, CA

Chasing Light | Photo & Video is a San Diego-based wedding photography and videography team devoted to capturing the real moments that make a wedding unforgettable. The quiet glances, the uncontrollable laughter, the tears during a first look—these are the moments that matter most. With a documentary-style approach, the team focuses on preserving the genuine emotion and natural beauty of each couple’s story as it unfolds. Russ and Clara, a husband-and-wife team with more than a decade of experience documenting weddings together. Their shared passion for storytelling allows them to see moments from both an artistic and emotional perspective.

Truly the best experience with Russ and Clara! From our engagement shoot a year before our wedding, where Clara took stunning photos by the beach, to this March where Russ and his team came to the desert for photo and video, we could not have been happier. Photoshoots can be daunting if you're not used to them, especially with poses that feel awkward, but they make you feel so comfortable and the poses don't come out awkward once captured. When it comes to wedding day, Chasing Light is such a well oiled machine. They know what shots will be perfect and keeps everything on schedule. The photos came back SO quickly and friends and family couldn't stop commenting about how great they all turned out to be. Then comes the video and it's so special to relive everything. You get allllll the content, not just selects or highlights. It was such an advantage working with the same team that does your engagement shoot and wedding day of content because a relationship and trust forms over that time. I honestly could not recommend Chasing Light enough. If you care about your photos and videos, it's a no brainer to book Chasing Light!

Hi, I'm Samuel Hui, a wedding photographer driven by a passion for creating unforgettable memories through my lens. What sets my work apart is my commitment to blending experimental creativity with a deep respect for the natural flow of each wedding day. I believe in capturing genuine moments that reflect the authentic emotions and unique personalities of my couples.

We got some really great photos from Samuel! We really love his true-to-reality editing and that he tries to capture every detail. Be sure to tell him ahead of time how you want your day to go. He leans hard toward the Instagram-y, fabricated style and it was difficult to redirect to a more candid style in the moment.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,395
  • Serves Idyllwild, CA

Last Minute Photoshoot is run by Stephanie and Son, a husband and wife team serving couples across Southern California. Our clients usually come to us because they want certainty. Whether it’s a surprise proposal, engagement, elopement, or courthouse wedding, we’re known for being thorough, responsive, and showing up when it matters most. Many of the moments we capture come together quickly, sometimes even last minute. Our role is simple: remove the stress, guide the plan, and deliver peace of mind so you can focus on the moment.

I cannot say enough great things about Steph and Son. From the very start of my proposal planning process, they stood by me, discussed my ideas, and helped guide me to the perfect execution. Proposing in California while traveling from out of state seemed like a large undertaking, but the two of them were informative, patient, and most importantly genuinely caring about myself and my fiancé. This truly felt like a collaborative effort and not just choosing a basic photographer. I can’t recommend them enough to anybody for a proposal, or any other event in the SoCal area.

We couldn't be happier with the final photos and the amazing service Danya provided throughout the entire process. She also provided photos to us in a timely turnaround. Highly recommend her to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding photographer!

We approach every wedding with a documentary style rooted in candid moments. We're all about creating an environment where you feel relaxed and free to just be yourselves in front of the camera.

I cannot recommend Alex and Jana Photography enough. We worked closely with Alex, who is incredibly professional, communicative, and really put us at ease through the whole process. On our wedding day, Alex and Toby made us feel so calm and my husband and I ended up having such a blast taking photos (which was a surprise to us both, since we are not normally comfortable at all in front of the camera). We just got our sneak peaks back after less than two weeks after the wedding, and are absolutely blown away by the shots that they captured.

Whether your celebration is an intimate gathering or a grand event, I focus on telling your story in a way that feels genuine and effortless.

My husband and I are both very awkward in front of the camera but she did an amazing job guiding us through different poses and capturing flattering angles.

We're a hispanic family based in the Inland Empire and serve Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, San Bernardino, Las Vegas, Arizona, Mexico & anywhere love takes us! We're not just photographers and filmmakers, we're your hype team, dance floor starters, timeline wranglers, and expert memory catchers. Whether you're planning a luxury wedding with mariachi and mezcal or a backyard bash with abuela leading the cumbia line, we're here to capture it all with style and soul.

From the very first Zoom call, we knew Bueno Family Photography was the one. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine interest in who we are as a couple made us instantly click. Before meeting the Buenos, we had already booked another photographer/videographer, but something just didn’t feel right; we didn’t feel fully seen or understood. Taking a leap of faith and switching to the Buenos was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They were incredibly easy to work with from start to finish and so personable with all of our guests; they were literally a hit at the wedding. Their direction and posing made us feel comfortable and confident, while still allowing moments to feel natural and candid. Their creativity truly shines, and we absolutely loved how they included our fur baby so seamlessly and thoughtfully in our engagement shoot without me asking! One of the things that meant the most to us was how deeply they understood how important it was to incorporate our culture into our photographs. They didn’t just capture it, they honored it beautifully. Sandy went above and beyond, even helping me with color palette ideas for MOG dresses and offering thoughtful suggestions to tie everything together on our big day. Their turnaround time for sneak peeks was amazing, and every photo and video brought us right back to the emotions of the day. We are so grateful we trusted Bueno Family Photography with such an important moment in our lives. If you’re looking for a photographer/videographer duo who is talented, professional, personable, and truly invested in telling your story, literally look no further. They are it!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Aubrey through a bridal expo (and if you have ever attended one, there are SO MANY photographers there). I really enjoyed Aubrey’s photography style, so I decided to reach out. We instantly connected during the interview and I booked her immediately. My husband and I are not used to being in front of the camera, so having such an experienced photographer like Aubrey made our photo sessions enjoyable and we weren’t uncomfortable at all. I told Aubrey that he and I weren’t excited about all the posed photos, but we wanted them, so it was important to stay on track and not spend a lot of time on them. On our wedding day, Aubrey was locked in. She had the shot list glued to her hip and helped rally our family and wedding party to make sure all the photos we needed were taken. We just received our photo gallery and she captured every detail and event at our entire day candidly, as requested, which really makes you relive the day as you scroll through. I’m so happy we decided to sneak down to the beach shore for a quick photo op. Those were my favorite photos in the entire album, thanks to Aubrey!

Looking for a photographer is difficult and so expensive. We talked to many and even though everyone is professional we never felt cared for till we spoke to Renee. Her and Ricky her husband/videographer were both so great and thoughtful. They checked out our venue to get an overlay. We met up on another day for a engagement session which turned out amazing! It was really fun and enjoyable. They were both so flexible and patient. In my opinion they turned out to be more than just our photographers. On our wedding things got hectic due to rain and plans changing but they both adjusted accordingly. All of our photos look amazing and they got great candid shots si we that's what we wanted. I have no problem recommending them to anyone. We have photographers now for life for all of our events and I would even say friends :)

Hi, I’m Jennifer, and I take a calm, intentional approach so you can feel comfortable and fully present on your wedding day. With over a decade of experience, I capture genuine moments, natural emotion, and timeless details in a way that feels effortless and true. My style is refined yet relaxed, creating images that feel honest, beautiful, and lasting.

From our first conversation with Jennifer, we knew we'd found our photographer. Jennifer was warm, responsive, and genuine! On our wedding day, when things got a little hectic, her calm and positive energy helped keep me grounded and reminded me to actually enjoy the moment instead of stress. We couldn't be happier with her work and the experience she gave us! The photos were stunning!!

Hi! I’m Casey, the photographer behind Stingrae Photography. 🤍 I’m so happy you’re here! I truly believe your wedding day should feel joyful, relaxed, & true to who you are. My goal is to capture the happy tears, belly laughs, quiet glances, & everything in between while making sure you enjoy your day. I’ll hype you up, fluff your dress, fix your veil, keep things organized, & probably laugh right along with you. I want you to feel like you’re spending the day with a friend who just happens to have a camera in her hands. My heart is creating timeless, elegant images you’ll treasure for generations for every chapter of your love story.

We had an amazing experience working with Stingrae Photography from start to finish. Casey and Dominic communicated with us every step of the way, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt prepared and excited for our shoot! Casey nailed the exact style and feel we were looking for in our photos, and she had great ideas for poses that made us look amazing. On the day of our shoot, she was constantly finding the perfect angles and spots around our venue to capture beautiful moments, and encouraged fun/spontaneity that helped the photos really feel like us. The final photos came back beautifully edited and exceeded what we were hoping for. We would absolutely recommend Stingrae Photography to any couple looking for a photographer team that is both talented and easy to work with.

Hi, I'm Alyssa, the heart behind Blyssful Photography. Over ten years ago, I picked up a camera simply because I loved capturing moments when my first son was born. What started as a creative passion savoring every sweet moment I had as a new mom quickly turned into something so much bigger; a career built around celebrating love, connection, and the people who matter most.

I’ve known Alyssa since we were little so I know her as a super close friend for YEARS but getting to watch her photography journey from the very beginning has been so special. I remember when she first started and now seeing where she is now makes me so proud. She’s worked so hard and it TRULY shows in every photo she takes! What I love most isn’t just how talented she is, it’s who she is as a person. She has this way of making you feel comfortable and heard from the second you meet her. It doesn’t matter if you’ve known her forever or just met her she makes you feel like family. She actually listens to what you want, cares about the little details & wants your photos to feel like YOU and your family and what that looks like to you! ALSO her pricing is SO reasonable for the quality you receive (which is unbelievable). She pours so much time, heart & effort into every session and you can DEFINITELY see that in all her photos! I also know how hard she works after she takes your photos. When it comes to editing and perfecting them as much as she can to get them back to you as fast as she can! She’s on it!!! Her photography is soooo worth it and I can honestly say you’ll never regret booking with her, ever. She is seriously the best. I live in a different state and I will forever use her even if that means driving to her state to get photos done by her!!! Alyssa is one of the kindest, most genuine people I know!! Honestly couldn’t recommend her more. If you’re thinking about booking with her, DO IT. You’ll leave with the most beautiful photos, of course, but you’ll also feel like you made a new friend and family member!! I promise you’ll continue to come back time after time. She’s amazing! We love Alyssa and her family!! She has the two sweetest boys!
