Eduardo was very nice to work with since the beginning. He is very kind and professional and just does a great job without adding any stress. He provided some portfolios of previous work he had done, which were very photo journalistic, not just the posed shots, and we knew he was the one! He definitely has an eye for placement, reflections, and catching people’s authenticity. He spent the whole wedding day with us, from getting ready all the way till the sparkler exit. I never even saw him take a break. He even ran with us to get some sunset photos at a nearby vineyard while guests were having dinner. He even got some good shots of everyone on the dance floor without being too in your face, I didn’t even notice he was there! We got all of the photos we wanted and more. Eduardo definitely doesn’t treat his clients as a number, he understands the importance of the day and ensures that he captures it in a way that tells the story of the day. Highly recommend Eduardo for your photography needs!

Love is Magic Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Laguna Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

Orange County Photographer specializing in Weddings, Boudoir, Couples, Headshots, Family and Maternity. I create fine art wedding photography that is bold, timeless, joyful, natural and magical. I was raised on the cinema and inspired by it, so I try to bring that magic and wonderment into everything I photograph.

We could never have anticipated just how incredible our experience would be. Chanelle was more than just a wedding photographer; she became a storyteller, a confidante, and an artist devoted to framing our love in the most captivating way. But what was most impressive was her innate ability to make us feel comfortable and cherished in front of the camera. She didn’t just stage photos; she orchestrated moments. Every photo was a masterpiece. She captures not just your photo but your essence.

We had pictures taken when our daughter was 2 months old and our son was 5 years old. They were so good and patient with the kids. At one point, I had to stop and nurse my baby and they were so flexible. They even took a few pictures of my husband and son making the most of the time while everyone waited. Now we enjoy getting to look back at those pictures and the sweet memories. Wyld Story captured that time in our lives perfectly!

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

Hi, I’m Annie! Welcome to HoneyAnne Photography! I'm based in both Southern California and Virginia—sounds a little unusual, I know! My photography style combines the timeless elegance of editorial imagery with the heartfelt authenticity of documentary photography —each gallery is designed to feel like your favorite magazine spread or Pinterest board! I believe that everyone deserves beautiful, film-inspired photos that capture their story. HoneyAnne Photography was inspired by the golden warmth of honey. Much like the taste of honey is comforting and sweet, I want your experience with me to feel warm, inviting, and unforgettable.

It's been an amazing experience having Annie as our photographer. She helped with both the engagement and wedding photos. As someone who kept pivoting about what I wanted, she brought a lot of props to give us a lot of options for photo ideas. She also kept checking in on us to keep us updated on our planning, which I would consider going above and beyond. Her keeping on top of what kind themes we were looking for and sending us inspiration gave us confidence that we didn't have to check in on her, letting us enjoy our special day without worry. Thank you for letting us live in these memories for the beginning of our lives.

I’m a wedding photographer who believes the best moments usually happen between the planned ones. My approach is relaxed, candid, and people-first, focusing on real laughs, genuine emotion, and the kind of moments that can’t be recreated. I’ll guide you just enough to keep things comfortable and natural, then step back so you can actually enjoy your day while I quietly tell the story as it unfolds.

We were one of the first couple weddings at the incredible Victoria Ranch in Vista. Daniel had shot events there in the past and led us to several very picturesque spots for photos. He was funny when we needed a laugh. He was patient when we needed some coaching. And he was thorough when we got to see our 450 picture wedding file!

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

Her work is absolutely STUNNING, and exactly what we were looking for: colorful, natural, editorial, and candid. She is the best of the best I wish I could get married again just to have more photos!

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Nadia and Gunnar! We met with them ahead of time at a local brewery and quickly learned that they would be a great fit. Their photography style is bold and beautiful, and the couple is very professional and easy to work with. It was so hard to narrow down our selection because there were soo many great shots! I can’t wait to work with them again some day! Highly recommend!

As an experienced photographer, she worked quickly and efficiently to capture all the special moments of our big day. The quality of their work was amazing - the photos are stunning, and we were so impressed that they were able to provide us with sneak peek pictures the same day! Jessica took the time to meet with us ahead of the wedding to create the perfect timeline, which helped everything run smoothly. We are thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend Jesscaste Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

I am a documentary wedding photographer blended with an editorial approach, and I aim to capture those special moments naturally as they unfold. I'm inspired by the genuine affection my clients have towards each other and look to document & craft your wedding photos with a candid eye. I don't want to dictate your day but let you enjoy your day. I may suggest small things like shooting portraits when the light is perfect, such as when the sun is going down, or I'll suggest taking a moment to embrace your partner & remind you to be affectionate on your wedding day. It's how I ensure you get beautiful natural images full of emotion.

Jesus was our wedding photographer for our special day. From our first interaction, Jesus showed confidence in his experience as a wedding photographer. He took the time to understand what I imagined my wedding photos would look like that is how he carefully planned, & captured my wedding photos. Jesus arrived 1 week early before the wedding day to scout out locations, shared photos with us, and seamlessly incorporated them into our timeline. We felt like we not only had a talented photographer, but also a day-of coordinator who helped ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He made sure we not only captured the photos we would love but also took the time and went above and beyond to take care of us as people, offering to get water and making sure we had drinks or food. Ive never had an experience with another wedding photographer but I imagine its not a level of service thats common in the industry. The variety and quality of the final photos exceeded our expectations, and we are extremely happy to have such beautiful, and meaningful heirlooms from our celebration. We highly recommend Candid Moment Photo to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

I am Ashley Strong Smith, the very passionate, sincere and grateful soul behind these very time capsules witnessed within this space. Although I’ve been shooting for over a decade, ASP launched full time in April of 2015 as an all encompassing business and became a Corporation - Strong Smith, Inc. in 2018. Since then, I’ve been beyond blessed to : - Document nearly 450 sessions - Document over a 100 weddings - Receive almost 250 FIVE STAR reviews on multiple platforms - Published nearly two dozen times

I highly recommend Ashley as your photographer. I first came across her work from another friends wedding, and I specifically loved her editing/the way she captured light in her photos! The photos we received did not disappoint. I've been struggling to narrow down which ones I want to print and frame in our home. I loved the app we received within a couple days that had a bunch of previews--more than enough options to choose from for an initial Instagram post! Ashley was so sweet to work with, and made sure to capture everything we discussed in our calls leading up to the big day. It was so fun going back through all the photos after and seeing how many group/family photos she was able to capture of our guests as well. I feel like the day was documented so well and we kept getting compliments from our guests about how great Ashley was. During our guest table photos she was so efficient, but also checked the photos to make sure no one was blinking etc. before moving on to the next grouping!

She encouraged us to have fun and be natural, which allowed our real, raw emotions to shine through in the photos. Michelle and her team are truly the best of the best, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've provided us from our wedding day.

I became a wedding photographer in a not-so-usual way. I remember telling my girl scout leader that I actually hated any arts & craft we did. Fast forward to many years of sports, and the pivotal moment of entering college, I switched to photography one semester in after realizing my current Marine Biology major was not for me and decided that was where I was headed. It landed me in wedding photography after a few classmates asked me to shoot their weddings. And since I’m a romantic and all…it was a perfect fit from the start. Something you should know about me is that I love all people, deeply. “Love your neighbor” is what I strive for.

Katie’s style of photography is what grab my attention at first. This is the second time we worked with her and she was incredible! Since we did a mini session for our city hall wedding, we were already comfortable taking photos with her and for our party she was so professional and made the photos feel so easy and made sure that I had all the photos I needed with family and friends. I would recommend her over and over again!

My name is Juan and I am a wedding photographer based in Laguna Beach, California. I was born and raised in Rosario, Argentina. My family, hometown, the people in my country, the beautiful nature, and culture of the place where I grew up nurtured my pursuit of being able to capture a specific moments. Since I was young, I dreamed of my perfect day. And now, I get to capture everyone’s special day. My photography style is romantic, journalistic, and candid. I love to use natural light to create soft and true-to-life images. I have been told that I am very passionate about my craft and I pride myself on fully committing to connecting with you.

Hiring Juan was the best decision we made for our wedding! His communication style was clear, easy, and helpful, and the quality of their work and value was above and beyond. He didn't just take photos, they created an entire story for me and my family. His professionalism, creativity, and warm personality put us at ease, and the photos are absolutely stunning—like something out of a magazine. They captured every special moment beautifully, from heartfelt candids to breathtaking portraits. Our family and friends can't stop raving about them! If you want a photographer who will make your wedding memories unforgettable, book Juan—you won't regret it!
