Carmelisse was absolutely the best!! My fiancé and I had our engagement pictures with her last month and she was so pleasant to work with. It was our first time taking professional pictures, and she was so kind and patient. She would hype us up while taking the pictures and it made you feel super confident. The end result was to die for. Each picture captured something special and the quality was top notch. It's so hard not to share all 80 pictures on our social media! lol. 100% recommend. She is the best!!!

Hi! I'm Jaycee. I specialize in clean, textured bridal hair and timeless makeup that enhances your natural beauty. I grew up with a deep love for painting and art, and that same eye for detail, balance, and color theory shapes every bridal look I create. This has led my work to be published 45+ times and featured by brands such as Covergirl, Wet N' Wild, Ulta Beauty, and more. I have also been a licensed Esthetician since 2017, so my sanitation practices are the best in the business.

Jaycee did my hair and make up for my wedding. She did amazing I was really worried about it because I’m not big on lots of make up but she definitely tailored my look to fit my face :) I would totally use her again for other events if I was local. She’s totally affordable too! She’s also responsive and such a joy to have with the bridal party. Thank you Jaycee for making me look like a princess on my wedding day.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

Amanda was so great to work with. Her images were stunning!! But she was also communicative and helpful. She made the big day run even smoother and the couple was soo happy with their pictures.

Her consistent communication ensured that she truly understood our vision, and the results were beyond anything we could have imagined. Our ceremony and reception were absolutely breathtaking.

My husband and I love our wedding venue, The Sanctuary. We were lost when we first started wedding planning because we had no direction. After attending an open house at The Sanctuary, we met Mason who helped us build a package for our big day. We picked out every detail and made our vision come to life. They also connected us to their vendors who were a pleasure to work with. Lastly, the venue itself is beautiful. The cathedral and courtyard were perfect for our photos. The dining hall was just as beautiful and charming. Our guests kept complimenting how elegant everything was. I highly recommend booking this venue.

My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently had the pleasure of a portrait session with Sarahi, and the experience was phenomenal. Right from the start, her professionalism and welcoming demeanor created a comfortable environment for both me and my fiance. Sarahi took the time to understand our vision and provided guidance to enhance the overall result. Communication with Sarahi was seamless, and deadlines were met with precision, reinforcing the positive overall experience. I 100% recommend SarahiPhoto for those seeking a portrait session that combines skillful craftsmanship with a thoughtful and collaborative approach.

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000

Weddings are rare opportunities to create meaning and magic for ourselves and the people we love, and that belief sits at the heart of my work. I take a holistic approach, starting with who you are and what you value, then helping shape a day that feels as beautiful as it looks, in whatever way is right for you. While photography is my focus, my background includes planning, coordination, and officiation, giving me a deep understanding of how weddings truly unfold. This perspective enhances every style of wedding, from timeless traditions to thoughtfully non-traditional celebrations.

I remember at the end of the day, being so overwhelmed with gratitude for Erin that my eyes overflowed with tears. As she is someone that has had so much experience with weddings, she absolutely played a critical role in prompting us to consider different things that she was able to anticipate that we had yet to imagine might be something of importance. I soo appreciated the way that she encouraged my spouse and I to turn our attention towards each other and gave us space and time to really absorb the events of our wedding day. I didn't feel like a number in a ledger when it came to her, but that she was there to be attentive to the thoughts and desires of our deepest selves. She was full of ideas and was so great with getting our nieces to look at camera for photos. (twin girls that were about two at the time) I want to print ALL of the pictures but have had to use some restraint as they are all so lovely. Her work exceeded my expectations and I would recommend her to anyone looking to have a similar experience and so many lovely photos to cherish forever. Thank you Erin! 3

We recently had our wedding at Recreation Park 18 (Big Rec), and it was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. From the very first time we toured the venue, I loved it immediately. The layout is perfect — having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one location made the entire day feel seamless and easy for both us and our guests. Our dogs were able to be a part of the ceremony and that was SO FUN! We also had access to the ceremony space throughout the night, which allowed us to set up lawn games and gave everyone extra space to relax and enjoy themselves. The bridal suite was cute, clean, spacious, and the perfect place to get ready. We opted to have champagne and snack trays in the room, and it was set up beautifully when we arrived. Honestly, it was the little details throughout the entire process that made such a difference. The food was absolutely incredible. Almost every guest we’ve spoken to since the wedding has mentioned how delicious everything was. The staff was equally amazing. Myra and the entire event team were so kind, attentive, and organized. They moved with such a sense of purpose all day, and I always felt like we were in good hands. One thing I especially appreciated was that they made sure my dinner was brought to me right when I actually had a chance to sit down and eat, so it was still hot, and they made sure my water glass stayed full all night long. Small things like that really showed how much they cared and paid attention. We also didn’t hire a wedding coordinator, but between our DJ, Sadie, and Myra, everything flowed so smoothly and completely according to plan. I never felt stressed or confused about what was happening next. I also want to mention how impressed I was with the transition between event directors. We had originally been planning with Tawnya for most of the process, and about a month before the wedding we learned she would be leaving and Sadie would be taking over. From our perspective, the transition could not have gone more smoothly. There was absolutely no lapse in communication or service. Sadie knew every detail and picked up right where Tawnya left off, which made us feel so supported during such an important time. Big Rec gave us such an amazing wedding day and memories we will cherish forever. Everything looked beautiful, the staff was exceptional, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding space with an incredible team behind it.

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, I get the opportunity to work with many photographers. BY FAR, Kristina Lee Photography is my all-time favorite! Not only does she have an artistic eye for capturing moments, but she also makes the couples feel comfortable and relaxed. Kristina also is a team player with the rest of the vendors. Her turn around time for images is like no other. The generosity of what she pours into her craft and service is admirable! Kristina is both professional and playful which clients love and trust! I have no hesitation in recommending Kristina Lee Photography. As a matter of fact, I highly encourage it! You'll have the best pictures with the most delightful photographer!

I have been a professionally trained wedding DJ since 2012, and as of 2013 had done 20 weddings my first year, and well over 100 now, approaching 200. I have done fewer weddings since covid, and this gone from my primary source of employment to a secondary source, leaving me plenty of time and availability, because I simply do not book every weekend. I hope to both get and give off a good vibe to clients I choose to work with, who, in turn, also choose me as their DJ. I have all the equipment needed to DJ a wedding anywhere that is near a power source. I can include dance lights, uplighting, at additional rates.

We have worked with DJ Pace Entertainment several times and like to call him our "house DJ" at this point. He is the first person I call after I set any party / celebration date. He exceeds our expectations every time... and knows exactly how to get the crowd going no matter how diverse. We have worked with him for parties with our friends, office karaoke parties and for my mother's 80th birthday party which even required him to mix so many genres of music together I thought it would be impossible. We especially love working with him because he can seamless go from karaoke DJ to regular DJ so the crowd is always entertained. DJ Pace brings an incredible energy and vibe that makes any event a success. We would recommend him for your wedding or special occasion.

I would highly recommend The Grand Event Center to anyone planning a wedding or other special occasion - you won't regret it at all.

I live in Long Beach with my husband, and our beautiful dog-daughter Rita. If I'm not photographing my incredible clients, I'm watching any entertainment I can, from the latest HBO shows or movie releases. But, there's nothing better than drinking a beer and laughing at some quality reality television if you ask me! I also love reading while drinking coffee in the morning, but nothing tops hanging with my friends and family, enjoying some drinks and sharing some laughs.

My fiance and I were lucky enough to have Kathy photograph us for our engagement shoot and I cannot stress enough how incredible she was from beginning to end! Kathy is extremely personable and she works with the utmost level of professionalism. She checked in with us about a week prior to our shoot just to confirm and get as many additional details as possible. We had some questions re: outfits and she was more than happy to answer our questions and provide us with recommendations as to what would capture best/be best for the look we were going for. Prior to our photo shoot, Kathy scoped out our location in order to provide us with ideas re: the best places/positions to shoot in order to achieve the vision we both had. While shooting, she makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease - which made our job SO much easier! Kathy provided us with our finished pictures in no time at all - and we were in love with her work! She 100% captured the vision we were going for and we could not be any more thrilled with the way they turned out. Kathy - you are the best and we are so thankful for your work, as we now have these memories captured to enjoy for a lifetime :) Thanks again! Xo Jonathan & Lee

Hi you guys, my name's Natalie, & I'm so glad you're here! I’m a joy-filled, Southern California surfer girl who is in love with capturing weddings.  My style? It’s timeless, romantic, adventuresome, & personal. I’m dedicated to capturing fine elegance + raw beauty all the while keeping it real + being authentic. Your job is to be in love & live in that excitement with each other. My job is to make it easy + enjoyable for you two to be yourselves, 100%, as I frame and capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments in a way that only my mind can. Congratulations to you both! Looking forward to getting to know each other! xx Natalie

You always picture how your wedding will be. The amazing feeling you will have to see everything you envisioned come together into one beautiful day. How much fun you will have getting ready in the morning with your best friends, sisters, and momma’s. And the love in your Husbands eyes when he see’s his future wife walking down the aisle. You picture the beauty of the day both visually and emotionally, and how you will cherish those memories forever. Perhaps one of the most import jobs on your wedding day is given to who you entrust in capturing those moments. I met Natalie through work. I am a wedding coordinator, and I had reached out to her when I started working in the area. I was in awe over her talent, and straight away felt a connection to how she captured such pure and beautiful moments. I knew after meeting her that she would one day be my wedding photographer! Our wedding day was everything that I could of ever asked for. It was such a incredible day with so much love and beauty. Natalie absolutely blew my already very high expectations out of the water. She is so good at what she does. Natalie made taking all of our photos so much fun. She knew when to allow us to have space and be in the moment, and when to direct and take charge. You want to be able to get caught up in the moment on your wedding day and not have to be the one worrying about who to take photos with or what needs to be captured next. She did such a wonderful job at making sure we got all the shots we needed, but allowing us to enjoy and have fun with all of them. From standing on chairs, to driving up hills, to dancing with us on the dance floor Natalie did whatever it took to get the most raw and sincere footage of our most special day. My husband and I cry every time we look through our wedding album and that is a huge thanks to Natalie Schutt Photography.
