Guramrit, aka "G", is amazing at his craft and very communicative when it comes to working with other professionals. He made sure that all vendors were on the same page, and communicated clearly his needs in order for results to be executed perfectly. G is a seasoned and respectful individual, and I would love to work with him again!

  • Serves Lake Forest, CA

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

These candid photos will live in your memories. In a time where moments are fleeting, our goal is to go beyond just a “photo”, but the story and emotion behind each frame. Documenting belly laugh, kiss and small glance is a story waiting to be told.

Choosing Bridgette to capture our wedding was one of the BEST decisions we made for our day! You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographer and right away Bridgette was incredibly kind and made us feel so comfortable around her. The photos she captured of our day are STUNNING!! Not only do we love our photos, but we are so happy with how Bridgette captured the natural, authentic moments from our day. Looking back through our photos it felt like we were back again reliving our wedding all over again.

Hailing from New Orleans, LA, and now based out of South Orange County, CA, I fell in love with photography long ago. I officially launched my wedding & elopement photography business in 2021. After graduating in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, I found myself having the time to further fall in love with photography, getting the chance to photograph more and more - so much so that I was able to start my own business in a rather unexpected way. Now able to travel the world with my camera in tow, I am beyond grateful for this passion turned career, & I feel so blessed every time my finger presses down on my camera shutter.

Shooting with Cass was such a dream. She is the most organized-but-easy-going photographer ever, and her style is incredible. She works weddings with such class, creativity, and professionalism that her years of experience really shows - and she puts her clients first by paying attention to their needs, while also capturing a beautiful wedding gallery. She's a fantastic wedding vendor to hire!

Nick Cruz Photography, LLC

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Lake Forest, CA

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

Nick is such a fabulous photographer -- he captured every big and little moment of our special day. He put us at ease and made us feel comfortable on a nerve-wreaking and exciting day. The photos are some of my favorite of my entire life. He's amazing!

Jake is the absolute best and we could not be happier with him as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye, is technically excellent, and can capture photographs in a variety of styles while still making the overall package cohesive. Truly a gifted artist. If you love his porfolio and are wondering if he can make your big day look that beautiful, the answer is without a doubt yes. Jake is incredibly personable and can direct people when needed, but can also read a room and let a moment develop to capture something truly special. He knows how to make everyone feel comfortable and has a way of seamlessly working with you so that you can fully experience the day and all of the emotions while capturing those moments and feelings beautifully.

Your wedding is about the two of you together, along with your family and friends, and the celebration of love. My main goal on your wedding day is to help ensure that you always remember the day — by capturing amazing photos and also that amazing feeling of being young and in love.

Highly recommend booking Ashley for your engagement or wedding photos. I booked her for both and am super pleased with my results. Have my engagement photos and wedding framed all around my house :) I was looking for a bright, airy vibe for my photos and that is exactly what I got. During the wedding planning process and day she was very organized and efficient. I still look at my wedding photos and cry because they're so beautiful! Probably will book her again for our next chapter in life- Maternity

Thank you for stopping by my website! My name is Yuki, and I am a photographer based in Southern California. Since I was little, I've had a camera in my hands wherever I go, and it has been my passion to photograph unforgettable moments. My influence came from my father who is a semi-pro photographer and videographer in Japan, and his journalistic photography style encouraged me to anticipate the moments and capture natural impressions. The moments I capture become the past, but what inspires me is seeing people’s reactions to the photographs I take. It is my hope that these moments become timeless. Often clients tell me that having a photo can bring back the feelings and memories of that moment, which is why I launched Yukipix Photography, LLC.

A little about me… I started Hailley Howard Photography in 2011 and built it from the ground up. Using contacts I had in the fashion industry I grew my career one client and one gig at a time. The last few years have been filled with immense growth and many incredible opportunities. We are now a family-run business serving both the wedding, event and commercial photography industries. Pre-COVID I split my time between California and New York, with a lot of travel in between. With everything on standby, I am quietly working from home on the California Coast in Laguna Beach anticipating the adventures ahead. My vision as a photographer is to capture the world and the lives within giving voice to the unique tale we can all tell. Grateful is not a big enough world to encapsulate the positive feelings I have for my passion behind what I do and all the memories and moments it has afforded me.

In every project, we step into your shoes, ensuring that your experience with us aligns with everything we'd desire for our own wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so lucky to find PKA Photo and Video to capture the memories of our wedding day! We had an intimate wedding on Coronado Beach with just our family members, and we absolutely love the highlight video Mia made for us! What made it even more special was how she was able to incorporate the personal song we wrote and sang with each other. Hearing the groom's guitar strumming and our own voices singing the duet in the background was so meaningful. Listening to our vows, (which were clearly recorded - by the way), and seeing the beautiful video clips of our family on the beach is a cherished gift. We are so blessed to have this video to replay when we look back on this most precious day of our lives. It makes us so emotional thinking about what happened to us with our previous videographer, and how they came to our rescue by agreeing to be our videographer at the last minute. We are truly grateful. Mia and LaRon are an amazing team, and we highly recommend their photography services!
