949 Studio met and exceeded my expectations for the wedding day! Our DJ Mike was considerate of our wants and met with us a few times before the wedding day to ensure everything was nailed down. He double-checked our chosen songs and made suggestions if he thought one of them wouldn't work. He really brought the party to the wedding day! Our MC Matt was top-notch. He made sure that he had everyone's names correct, that our timeline was on schedule, and was able to work on his feet when something didn't happen exactly in the timeline. He was professional and kind and brought the energy to the wedding day! This team was incredible and made our wedding a night we will never forget!! Pictures don't capture just how much fun we had! I can't recommend them enough!

Joey is an absolutely beautiful soul to work with. She has the best ideas and helps you stay within your budget and within reason. We had SO much fun getting creative on a dark and moody wedding. She has excellent communication for all the planning process, it felt so good to have someone care about my wedding planning as much if not more than I did. Her expertise shines through in the lead up to the wedding. On my wedding day I didn't have to worry about a SINGLE vendor and I had QUITE a few doing a full build out wedding. All of our guests gushed over the little details and none of it would have come to fruition without the labor of her love. She is an absolute gem and I would recommend her to EVERY bride.

Petra was amazing to work with and I cannot recommend her enough. Roughly a month before our wedding, we had decided we wanted to include a pianist for our ceremony and even with the little time we gave her, she was able to completely customize our ceremony with songs that are super important to us. She constantly provided us updates on music, and even before booking showed us examples of skills specifically with our song choices. Petra is extremely talented, and her addition to our ceremony made it 1000x more special. I cannot thank her enough for all of the time she put towards making our wedding day as perfect as it was!

I am a father of two beautiful young kids. I do Weddings/engagements/family because they are fun to me. I don't book myself full because I don't want to lose the magic of capturing someones day, that they spend ages planning. I work with a small trusted team that together has a lot of years experience. I work every shoot to capture the emotion in which you actually felt in the moment. No Ai was used in the creation of this explanation ;)

We had the absolute best experience working with Jeff for our mountain wedding in Banff. From the very beginning, he was incredible to work with — professional, easygoing, and genuinely excited to be part of our day. Our wedding day weather was completely unpredictable (as mountain weather tends to be!), but Jeff just rolled with it. Not once did he seem stressed or thrown off by the constant changes. Instead, he kept a positive, calm attitude the entire time and made the experience fun and relaxed for us. He took us to as many beautiful spots as possible between weather shifts, making sure we still captured the magic of the mountains. Some of our absolute favourite photos actually came from an unexpected moment — when our ceremony had to be postponed because of the storm. Jeff found this beautiful little tucked-away spot where we could sit, have drinks, and wait for the weather to pass. Those photos are so natural, intimate, and full of personality. In hindsight, that “delay” turned into one of the most special parts of the day, and we’re so grateful he had the creativity and flexibility to turn it into something unforgettable. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, adaptable, and a genuinely wonderful person to have by your side on your wedding day, we cannot recommend Jeff enough. He went above and beyond for us, and we’ll treasure these photos forever.

We’re JP and Rachel, a husband-and-wife team, focusing on how your wedding is experienced as much as how it is photographed. We document weddings through honest emotion and intentional imagery, drawn to the in-between moments that define the day. We guide with light direction and attention to timing, allowing space for moments to unfold naturally while you stay fully present with your people. Based in Southern California and available for travel, we document weddings near and far. We photograph engagements, wedding days, and everything in between.

From the moment we first reached out to Snatched Weddings, we knew we had found the perfect photographers for us. We were looking for someone with a clean, editorial style who could also make two camera-shy people feel completely at ease, and they exceeded every expectation. Throughout the entire process, they were so responsive, organized and genuinely invested in making sure we felt comfortable. On the day itself, they brought such a positive energy that made everything feel effortless. They guided us when we needed it but also gave us space to simply enjoy the moment together, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. When we received our gallery, we were completely blown away! Every image felt timeless and captured not just how our day looked, but how it felt. Looking through the photos truly felt like reliving every emotion all over again. Looking back, choosing Snatched Weddings was genuinely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

They were professional, organized, and really easy to work with from start to finish. They were also super accommodating whenever we had questions or last-minute adjustments, which made the whole process so much less stressful. Everything was set up beautifully, on time, and worked exactly as it was supposed to. We never had to worry about a thing, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. I would absolutely recommend them!

Oleg and his team are THE MOST talented video/photo team I have every met and worked with. A lot of trust goes into finding someone that can capture your day for a lifetime of memories and we are BEYOND THRILLED to have chosen ZayaEvent. We met with Oleg for the first time and he was so detailed and excited about what he does. It made us excited to work with him! We sent inspo on what we wanted for our engagement shoot and shared what our vision was for our wedding. He captured it all perfectly! We chose to do our engagement shoot at The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. Oleg was on time and made the experience so much fun. I am very camera shy but he made us both feel very comfortable and captured candid moments of us purely having fun. On our wedding day, Oleg and his team arrived and conquered it all! They were a joy to work with and soooo organized. They created a 1-min movie-quality video for us the next day and returned some photos as a sneak-peek. I CANNOT WAIT to see everything else he captured from our special day! I would work with Oleg and his team over and over again!
