Awarded Best of Zola
Melissa is a true gem! She did the florals for our wedding ceremony and reception. She is a real artist with a vast knowledge of florals. We did a trial arrangement with her so I could visually see her work prior to wedding. She did such a stunning job with the trial I knew she was the perfect choice to do the florals for our wedding. She is a great communicator and was able to substitute flowers that I wanted that were out of season for similar flowers that were in season. Her and her team also brought the flowers from the ceremony and repurposed them for the reception. We were so thrilled with how everything turned out and we got so many compliments on the flowers. They really livened up the tables and were the center of our wedding aesthetic. Thank you so much Melissa for your artistry and professionalism. You made us so confident that we knew you were the perfect florist for us. If you need flowers for your wedding Melissa should be your number one choice!

I skipped on the trial and still felt confident she could provide what I wanted. As someone who doesn't typically wear a lot of makeup, she listened to what I wanted and executed!

Hi I'm Carmelisse. I'm an intimate wedding & elopement photographer based in Los Angeles. I have a gift for making people comfortable and seeing the beauty in all diverse people. I want nothing more than to tell your love story right.

Awarded Best of Zola
PSA: Attention all future lovers, hire Carmelisse to capture your best day ever! I have been a huge fan of Carmelisse for years and have followed her in hopes and dreams to have her as our photographer for our wedding, which *fast forward* came true! To showcase her sweet demeanor, she sent us a survey to get to know us as partners and understand our vision. For our engagement shoot, she made us feel comfortable as she played music, helped us pose, and prompted us to flirt with one another to get a great shot. At the end of the night, as it was reaching golden hour in the mountains, Carmelisse brought us a bottle of champagne to toast to our love and photographed us slow dancing as the sun was setting, a core memory that we will never forget. Carmelisse exemplifies herself as an unofficial bridesmaid and I can attest to that! Personally, I did not have a wedding planner since the venue came with a day of coordinator. Leading up to the big day, I confided to Carmelisse about the order of events and details. Similar to the engagement shoot survey, she was intentional and sent us another survey to understand our wants for the wedding day. Until this day, my husband and I credit Carmelisse and her teammate, John, for keeping our timeline in order because without their professionalism we would’ve been lost. Throughout the day, Carmelisse and John kept us calm and collected with all the emotions of the day. In addition, Carmelisse handled our photo booth, which was excellent quality and our family loved the fact they could do gifs and save the photos directly on their phones. All in all, they were our hype people, our comfort, and helped us live in the moment and enjoy the best day. Carmelisse is our number-one recommendation for any occasion! She is literally an angel and a true artist in her craft. Thank you so much, Carmelisse! I will keep on preaching your brand until the end of time.

Mirage and Light Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer
  • 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 an absolute dream to work with. My wife and I found her through a friend after seeing the beautiful shoots/ weddings she's done previously. Amanda worked with our budget, captured our most beautiful moments, and was the best hype woman! She made us feel and look good, which was important to us on our big day. She also sent us an ornament for the holidays that had one of our favorite pictures on it--which was the cutest! Highly recommend her for your wedding if you are looking for someone professional, lovely to work with, and great pictures for a lifetime!

Hey there, I'm Rick! I'm a wedding, family, and portrait photographer based in Long Beach, California, shooting across LA and Orange County since 2018. My work blends stylized editorial portraits with real, documentary moments depending on what the day calls for. My editing is clean and natural: accurate skin tones, true to life color, and timeless. I also love black and white for the moments that hit harder without color. No need to overthink it. Just be present, enjoy the day, and I'll handle everything else. I'd love to meet you!

I could not be happier that Rick was our wedding photographer. From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience. He made my husband and I so comfortable posing in front of the camera and the finished pictures are beautiful. Really better than anything I could have hoped for. I would recommend Raasch Photography to anyone who wants to capture an important event.

My husband and I knew we wanted to get married but did not want to plan the actual wedding…and we are so lucky that we found the company Wedgewood. With so many venues to choose from, we got married at The Sanctuary in Long Beach and when I say our wedding was stunning, I mean it. We will cherish the day forever. Wedgewood made the entire process so incredibly easy, it almost felt too good to be true. But it was true! All we had to do was make the final decisions and our team took care of the rest of it. We showed up, got married, had an amazing party with amazing food and drinks and had the time of our lives. Not only did we love our wedding, our guests loved it as well. We got so many compliments on how beautiful our decor was and how smoothly everything went. As a bride, I was so nervous about our timeline going the way it was supposed to, but our wedding coordinator, Fumi made sure everything was on track. Fumi made our day so much better and my bridal party loved her. She made me believe that the most important thing was that I married my husband. I highly recommend Wedgewood Weddings. There are no loopholes, their pricing is reasonable and you are able to express yourself freely with them and plan your perfect wedding day. Everyone on their team was no kind to us and make our day so much easier and made us feel so so special. I am so grateful for Wedgewood. Book with them!!

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.

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.

Erin is an amazing photographer and perfectly captured our wedding in Mexico. From planning the ceremony layout and timing to snapping pictures for almost 10 hours on our wedding day, Erin was easy and fun to work with and super detail oriented. She didn’t miss a single important moment, and our pictures turned out amazing. She’s such a joy to be around that all of our guests became friends with Erin too. She took away a lot of stress and helped us just enjoy our special day and celebrate without worry. We absolutely love the pictures we received from Erin. And months later when I shared them with a friend, she said she thought they were literally the best wedding photos she’d ever seen. Highly recommend working with Erin for your wedding, you will be glad you did!

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.

David is an awesome DJ to work with. My fiance and 1 hired him to do our wedding and we could see that he has a wonderful, upbeat and humerous personality. He is extremely professional and has many ideas but also allows vou to partake in the planning process. I found this wonderul because most other DJs are more "cookie cutter" and do things their way without the couples input. i highly recommend DJ Pace for your event!'

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.

After being engaged for 2 years without any real wedding plans confirmed, my fiancé and I finally found a venue and set a date, 2 months out. With a short window to find vendors, the photographer was going to be the most critical. I was using Zola for general wedding inspo & invitations, so I did a quick search for photographers and came across Kristina Lee Photography. I didn’t have much time to contemplate, I had to make decisions quickly. I reached out to Kristina and scheduled a call with her the very next day. My first question was to make sure she was available on our wedding date…she was. We got to talking and she was extremely personable and easy to talk through the details of our wedding. It was a bonus that she had shot at our venue previously and she knew all the great spots for amazing photos. On the day of our wedding, Kristina fit right into my bridal party. We chatted all things Scandoval, while taking amazing pictures of our entire bridal party including our furbaby, Carlos. My fiancé and I never took engagement photos, so we didn’t really know what to expect when taking our post ceremony photos. Kristina directed us and knew exactly how to capture the most amazing moments of our day. She made us feel comfortable, sexy and so in love. All of our photos came out amazing! She sent us a few photos in a couple days and we were able to download the entire collection within 8 weeks. I am so happy that we had the opportunity to work with Kristina. She was professional, shot amazing photos and we had fun working with her! Thank you Kristina for capturing the best moments of our wedding day. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Kristina for photo shoots in the future.

I had an amazing experience with Belle. She bartended my little cousin wedding and was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what she does. The drinks were well-made, beautifully presented, and tailored perfectly to the event. Everyone loved the cocktail she named "The Vow" . She brought great energy, stayed organized, and made everyone feel welcome and taken care of. Guests kept complimenting the cocktails and her personality all night. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking to elevate their event with a reliable and talented bartender.
