I'm so appreciative of the positive energy and enthusiasm he brought and his flexibility to take photos at multiple locations. He exceeded our expectations and his passion for nature and people shines through. Great communication, arrived early, and beautiful photos!

Original Weddings truly outdid themselves when it came to capturing our day — both in photo and video form! We opted for two photographers and one videographer, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We were initially told to expect our photos and videos within 4–6 months, but to our surprise, we received everything in less than two weeks after the wedding! Our lead photographer, Steve (or Steven), was wonderful — full of energy, creative, and so intentional with every shot he took. Aspen, our second photographer, perfectly captured all the little details and candid moments we might have missed. It was such a gift to see the empty room and venue shots that we didn’t get to take in during the day. Our videographer, Win (apologies if I’ve spelled that incorrectly), was equally amazing. He captured the joy, the laughter, and all the meaningful speeches that we’ll cherish forever. Original Weddings exceeded every expectation, and we highly recommend them. After researching and comparing multiple vendors, we found their pricing and quality to be unmatched. We loved working with them — and if we could re-hire them, we absolutely would!

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Nicole isn't just an amazing photographer. She's an ally on the day of the wedding. She's a calming presence reminding you to ENJOY one of the biggest moments of your life. And she gets everything you want (and more) naturally, and in the style that represents who you are as a couple. We had to do a COVID wedding, and Nicole handled it so flawlessly that we wouldn't think of working with anyone else once we finally get to throw a larger party. SHE'S INCREDIBLE! You'll love your photographs AND your wedding day.

Working with Rachel Reynolds Co. on our wedding this past weekend was an absolute joy and delight. Rachel partnered closely with us to ensure every moment was captured. From the first click to the last, her coverage was incredibly thorough, leaving no detail overlooked. I was lucky enough to join her call with our bride ahead of the wedding and heard how she expertly guided her through shot list development, support in family photo discussions, and made sure she got every portrait on her Pinterest board sorted. What really set Rachel apart is how comfortable our couple was in her capable hands. My bride and groom are the type of people who usually feel pretty awkward in front of a lens, but Rachel has this magic ability to make the camera disappear. She turned what could have been a stressful part of the day into something they were actually excited about. They went from camera-shy to completely comfortable, and that genuine joy radiated in the final shots. The photos are, quite simply, outstanding. If you want a photographer who brings both high-level professionalism and a vibe that puts everyone at ease, Rachel is the one.

You know that friend who always gets your good angles? Brings her digital camera to every event, and when it's photo time she'll fix your hair, tuck in the tag that's sticking out, move your arm just so, then pull out a flash you didn't even know she had for better lighting. That's me. I'll get shot that'll make you fall in love with you again.

Working with Ela for our Save the Date session was a wonderful experience from start to finish. She has an incredible eye for detail and guided me and my fiancé through poses in a way that felt entirely natural and effortless.

I capture your wedding with energy, intention, and an eye for moments that matter most. My couples get more than beautiful photos – they get someone who keeps things organized, brings a fun and calming presence, and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The result is timeless images that feel as genuine as your love story.

I’ve had my photos taken by Quentin multiple times, and every single experience has been amazing. He has this incredible ability to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, even if you’re someone who normally hates having your picture taken. He gives just enough direction without making anything feel forced, and somehow always captures the most genuine moments. When I got my gallery back, I was honestly blown away. The photos felt like me natural, flattering and full of personality. Beyond his talent, he’s simply a great person to work with professional, fun, patient, and someone who truly cares about his clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful photos and an even better experience.

I am really interested in other people. I like to find out about you. I believe we all have value, and everybody deserves to be happy. Sour Pusses are quite the bummer, and seriousness is overrated. I really believe there should be very little reason for people to not get along. EVERYONE is welcome. I LOVE nostalgia, and having my work appreciated enough to be on your walls is the best feeling. I roast my own coffee, I am a friek for Legos, old black and white movies, the ocean, the forest, the jungle, and chatting with people.

It was serendipitous that I came across Daniel's instagram randomly in the early stages of wedding planning, and the most recent photos happened to be from the venue we'd chosen so it was clear he knew the venue and that his pictures were magical. Our wedding planners were thrilled that we had found him as they have all worked together and have a great working relationship. Daniel is exuberant and brings such authentic enthusiasm to his work. He was super helpful in the day of planning, and on the day managed our timeline with great efficiency and professionalism. All of our guests were highly impressed at his commitment to getting every shot both posed and candid of us, our families, and portraits of our guests. My husband's most important moment to capture was sunset and our sunset photos are beyond stunning. We had a really positive experience working with Daniel as a person and photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture a wedding or any special event.

She is a gifted photographer with a keen eye for composition and character. She really got herself into the middle of all that was happening while at the same time was unobtrusive and respectful of the guests and the event. Such an amazing combination of skills. Lisa is also a joy to work with. She has a curious mind and that curiosity draws her into her subjects and creates beautiful work. I highly recommend her.

If you’ve landed here, my guess is you want the perfect balance. Someone who will give you direction during your couple’s portraits, while avoiding making you feel like you’re on the MET gala red carpet during your ceremony. I’m here to help you feel at ease, to make jokes, to reassure you everything and nothing matters all in the same breath. I take years of stealthy concert photography skills and apply that to documenting the candid familial embrace. The wild shirtless last dance of the evening. The moment when you two look at each other after all the speeches are done, and you realize how wonderful it is to be showered with so much love.

“I could not have chosen a better photographer for my album cover art. Not only do I have a collection of exquisite and totally unique photos, after working with Jessie I also see myself in a brand new light. I feel more confident, more graceful, and frankly more badass. When I was designing my album cover art, I wanted something dreamy, but not cheesy or cliche. When I saw Jessie’s underwater photography I knew immediately that this was the right match. If anyone could capture the feel I was going for, it was her. I loved everything about working with her—it felt like playing around. I am not a model, or much of a water person, but together we figured out how to move my body, how to push my hair around, how to use the fabric underwater, how to relax my face. All I really needed was one good picture, but I ended up with so many stunning, magical photographs, unlike anything else out there. It was beyond anything I had imagined. What an incredibly special experience. I am so grateful that I was able to work with Jessie. People compliment my album cover all the time, but more importantly, it’s actually the cover I always dreamed of."

Kimmi did a great job helping me to find the perfect scenic spot for a proposal at Lake Tahoe, and the pictures from the photoshoot turned out amazing.
