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
I don’t even know where to start! Carmelisse was UNREAL. She was so so sooooooo wonderful to work with. My now-husband was dreading wedding photos and after the wedding he even said, ‘the photo part was actually fun’-direct quote. Carmelisse and Jon (our second shooter) made us feel so comfortable and natural and we had a blast the entire time. There were tons of changes with timing and location due to the weather, and Carmelisse was 10000% on top of it! She took charge, handled EVERYTHING, knew when sunset was, where/when to go for the best lighting, posing etc… she was just amazing. I really didn’t know what to expect—it was a destination wedding and Carmelisse took care of so many small details so I could just focus on enjoying myself. She is incredible at what she does and I’m so happy that she was the one to document our wedding! We love love LOVE the photos and her! She went above and beyond with everything and we definitely recommend working with Carmelisse!!!! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

Jaycee Beauty

Long Beach, CA
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $600

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jaycee was absolutely amazing for my wedding day! Her communication was great, easy, and quick from start to finish. The quality of her work was truly incredible - my hair and makeup lasted all day, even through my ugly crying fits (I cried 3 times!), and I received so many compliments. I even changed my hairstyle last minute due to weather changes, and Jaycee was able to do it just like I wanted. Her assistant Mary was so sweet and did an amazing job as well. I cannot recommend Jaycee enough for any bride looking for beauty professionals that will help make your special day perfect!

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!

Melissa was one of the vendors I had to choose without anyone recommending me. And I was admittedly nervous at first because I have heard so many stories about vendors going wrong and I did not want that for my wedding. And Melissa ended up becoming one of my favorite vendors for my wedding. From the 1st contact, I knew that Melissa understood my vision and she made me feel comfortable with moving forward with her. And she did not disappoint. I loved all my florals from the wedding bouquets to my centerpieces and my floral arch. It really added such a romantic look to my wedding which is exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend her for floral services!

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.

She not only helped with the logistics, she shared an inspiring poem for International Women’s Day and then led a powerful sacred ceremony: Emotions overflowed as we released negativity and embraced positivity, creating an empowered and resilient community of women. As we held hands in a circle, tears of joy and liberation flowed freely as we released our worries and embraced our authentic strengths.

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.

Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer
  • 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.

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 booked calibridal film for my fusion Indian/American wedding and they did an INCREDIBLE job capturing our events. The communication was very seamless leading up to the events and the photos turned out amazing. We are so happy we worked with them and highly recommend. Our ceremony was very colorful during the daytime outdoors and our reception was in a ballroom with more minimalist decor, and they captured both events perfectly. I loved looking through all the photos, not just the portraits but the great candidate they got of guests. Thank you Anna!

Kristina Lee Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500

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
I was referred to Kristina by my wedding venue's coordinator. I was having a destination wedding at a private estate and she had shot several weddings and shoots there before. Knowing that she knew the venue and seeing her work, I knew she was a top contender. Having great quality photos was hugely important to me, and that was something I wasn't willing to sacrifice quality on. Her style was exactly what I wanted—natural, soft, minimally edited, and not overly posed. However, a good wedding photographer is an investment, so I wanted to meet with her first. Luckily, she lives in the same town as I do, so I didn't have to travel to the destination to meet her.When I joined her for a glass of wine, we instantly clicked and I was immediately a YES. Before my husband would sign on the dotted line, he wanted to meet her as well. We met for a 2nd time, all three of us, and he also loved her right away. Having that connection to a photographer is SO important to make you feel comfortable throughout the event and truly trust them (photos are awkward, right?). The day could not have run more smoothly, thanks in large part to Kristina. She made taking photos fun for everyone and our bridal party also fell in love with her. Aside from being fun and personable, she was professional and kept us on a tight timeline. She also made sure we fit everything in on my wishlist: first look, first look with my dad, bridal party photos, family photos, table photos, dancing, the hora...didn't miss ANYTHING. I'm so in love with my photos from that day and so happy to have those lifelong memories. Since then, she's become a great friend. Anytime I want photos taken for a life event, I will ONLY use her. She's taken family holiday photos, photos of my pups, professional photos for my husband, and I will keep using only her for family photos in the future.

Music is our universal language ~ Connecting people with music and dancing with a culture first attitude! We’re not your typical media company. At Brink Entertainment, your event is ours, and we don’t like going to basic parties. With a love of going against the grain, and years of expertise, let us make your next event the most memorable. With over ten years in the entertainment industry, our mission is to bring the world together one song at a time.

We hired Brink Entertainment to DJ our wedding and I can’t recommend Malcolm and his team highly enough. From our very first inquiry, Malcolm was responsive, professional, and a pleasure to collaborate with. While our initial call was about business, Malcolm immediately felt like a friend and he understood the kind of party we wanted to have for our wedding. We talked about music and what we wanted to hear -- it gave us confidence that no matter what DJ we choose Brink would be able to deliver on the job. We ultimately chose DJ Kase as our wedding DJ and she made the planning process seamless and gave us complete confidence that our event was in expert hands. Their wedding planner made it super easy to plan out the entire wedding ceremony from start to finish; my wife and I had so much fun filling it out. DJ Kase and Malcolm, as her assistant for the night, brought incredible energy to the wedding -- our goal was to feel like we were back at an HBCU homecoming and she did exactly that. She perfectly balanced our playlist requests with her unique style of DJ'ing focusing on musicality and blending songs creating an unforgettable experience for everyone. Our guests are still raving about the wedding and the music. DJ Kase was great at taking requests mid set that made you feel like the songs were always supposed to be there. My wife and I cannot thank DJ Kase and Brink Entertainment enough for keeping the party going the entire night. If you’re looking for a wedding DJ who’s talented and truly cares about making your night a hit, Malcolm and Brink Entertainment are the way to go!

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 Fiancé and I got the chance to work with Kathy for our engagement pictures at Disneyland! It was extremely hot that day and super crowded, but that never even phased her. I was so impressed with her ideas of capturing us together. She has so much patience to take the time to capture the shot just right before we went on to the next site. We received our pictures in a week and we love them all, it’s extremely hard to just pick one as our favorite! Currently she offers custom albums what we can’t wait to order and have forever! We loved working with Kathy and can’t wait to see her at our wedding!

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.
