We booked with Original Weddings after my then fiancé did extensive research into the world of wedding videography. After looking through multiple different agencies, he decided that Original Weddings had the best options and products. He was extremely correct. The team did an absolutely amazing job with getting the filming done during the wedding. They were also super great with all communication and finished the video extremely quickly. We could not recommend them enough!

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!

Heather was wonderful to work with! We are the awkward type in front of a camera, but working with Heather made everything seem so stress-free during our wedding planning and photo sessions. Our engagement photo session was fun and care-free and we unbeknownst to all of us, she actually ended up taking beautiful photos of our beautiful rabbit, Trixie before she passed on the following month. Something that we truly appreciated and will never forget. For our wedding, Heather was very detailed and gave us a run down of what to expect for the photos. Nothing was hidden and she was up front about it all and asked if we wanted to add anything as well. Although Mother Nature had other plans for the day, we were still able to get the majority of our photos done. She even snuck in polaroid photos that were just too adorable - And I have no idea when she even took them! We received our wedding photos back and everyone absolutely loves them. I just love her style. While there are some photographers who do a large amount of filter/presets (no shade to those who do), there's just something about Heather's style of being able to keep it clean and natural that I just love! With Mother Nature having other plans with making it a misty ceremony and a downpour reception, we did miss out on doing a handful of photos of cocktail hour. Because of that, Heather was quick to offer us a bridal session to take some additional photos to complete our wedding. Instead of returning to the venue, we actually decided to relocate to Fort Bragg and take photos at the Mendocino Garden. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous with the oceanic background and the dahlias that she chose to work with. She made everything seem so light-hearted and there was so much laughter with each session. Thank you Heather for everything you did throughout our wedding planning and so much more. You've captured so many wonderful moments and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

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.

Nikki from Nemus photography is a fantastic Tahoe-local and wonderfully talented artist. We have had the joy of doing a number of area events together over the years and Nikki truly delivers with amazing shots, beautifully edited images and we would highly recommend her to couples looking for an artistic, creative and professional photographer for their engagement shoot, wedding celebration, etc. Having done hundreds of Tahoe area wedding myself I will say that Nikki pours her heart and soul into her work and it shows. If you want a massively-talented photographer who knows the area, can tell your love story through beautiful images and is professional and timely than look no further.

My approach in photography is relaxed and lightly guided, leaving room for movement, connection, and images that feel nostalgic and timeless. I’m especially drawn to in-home family sessions — unhurried, familiar, and captured in the spaces where life is already growing. It would be my honor to document your sweet moments with family and loved ones!

From our first conversation, Annette made it clear she was ready to plan and get to work—we loved her direct approach and how much of a team player she was. She showed up early on our day and found hidden spots around the property we didn't even know existed, turning them into the perfect backdrops for our photos. Annette had an eye for detail when it came to group shots, making sure everyone looked their best and felt comfortable. She captured genuine moments between us that we didn't even realize were happening, and her leadership in group moments allowed my husband and I to be at ease. She delivered exactly what we needed, even the things we didn't know we were looking for. We couldn't be happier with her work and highly recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares and loves what her job.

I have always had a passion for photography and once I picked up a camera, it was all over. I was raised from a big family and my kids are my world! Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have a special love for being back there. I consider myself very outgoing and will always try and make you laugh and feel comfortable by being a huge dork. I think that is one of the biggest compliments I get is that my clients always feel relaxed and at ease and I love hearing that. Not to mention becoming friends with my clients which is an added bonus! ​

Jeff was amazing! He made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and went above and beyond to “get the shot!” He has an amazing eye for detail, angle and creative shots I never would have thought of. We had a ton of fun with him getting some epic shots but also some silly ones too! I will be using him as our family photographer from here on out!

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. Not only is the final gallery breathtaking, but Ela was professional, warm, and exceptionally talented throughout the shoot.

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.

As a wedding planner, I work with a lot of photographers, and Quentin is one of the easiest vendors to have on a wedding day. He keeps the timeline moving without making anyone feel rushed, communicates well with the entire vendor team, and has an incredible ability to keep couples relaxed. His photos are beautiful, but what really sets him apart is his professionalism and calm presence. I always breathe a little easier when I see he’s on my timeline.

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.

This post is delinquent by a couple months, but we wanted to share our memorable experience utilizing Lisa Richmond Photography. I saw Lisa Richmond's art for the first time in the fall of 2014. Lisa photographed our dear friend's wedding in Winters, CA. So, when Linda and I became engaged in 2015, we knew immediately who we wanted to record our engagement and wedding day on 9/23/16. Luckily, Lisa was available!Prior to meeting Lisa for our engagement photos, we had chatted on the phone a couple times so Lisa could get an idea about Linda and my love story. She was very easy to talk with and we had several good laughs before meeting in person. I told Lisa that neither Linda or I cared to have our pictures taken so I wished her luck with that! Lisa knew we planned on getting married at a winery and she suggested we bring a bottle of wine to open during our engagement shoot. After sharing some wine and stories together, she started working her magic. Lisa made the shoot fun and effortless so the pictures looked natural. Her use of light and her timing are phenomenal. She caught our relationship and personalities digitally!Finally, our long-awaited day came! When Lisa arrived at our wedding, we greeted her as a friend and not just a photographer, since a friendship formed between all of us. Lisa captured every moment of our special day and more. She roamed the vineyards with us to obtain the perfect sunset moments, and she was knocked around on the dance floor like a pinball by some guests getting their groove on...just so she could seize our moments! We were delighted by Lisa's artistic eye, professionalism, and her great personality. We will definitely utilize her for future gatherings as well as share a glass of wine when possible! We highly recommend Lisa if you want to beautifully capture your special occasion.

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."

My husband can get uncomfortable in front of a camera and pictures can be hard to capture. Hannah and Will made us feel so comfortable and captured some of my favorite pictures of my husband. Throughout the entire process they had amazing communication, they were super organized and didn’t let the weather affect their work either! I would choose them to photograph other important milestones over and over again.

Kimmi photographs weddings, elopements, and proposals with a documentary approach—observing quietly, guiding when needed, and preserving the genuine moments that unfold naturally. Her work is known for timeless imagery, true-to-life color, and a calm, unobtrusive presence that allows couples to fully experience their day.

We are so thankful to Starscape Studios for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. Kimmi did an absolutely amazing job and made the entire experience feel so special and stress-free. She was kind, professional, and truly went above and beyond to make our day even more memorable. Coming from out of town, it was great to have help with the whole process. The photos turned out incredible, and we’ll cherish them forever. We highly recommend Starscape Studios to anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about making your special moments unforgettable!
