  • Starts at $6,550

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!

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 was an excellent makeup artist to work with for my wedding hair and makeup. From the start, her communication was prompt, thoughtful, and organized. She was responsive to every question and flexible with all of my requests. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early, set up quickly, and was completely ready by the time we arrived, ensuring everything ran smoothly and stress-free. She listened to my feedback from the trial and made every adjustment I requested with no problem whatsoever. I felt so beautiful and completely myself, which is exactly what I hoped for.

Mirage and Light Photography 

5.0

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 is AMAZING! She is so sweet and fun. My husband and I are no models, but she helped our quirky selves relax, pose, and take beautiful photos. From the engagement session at the beach with our surfboards to our pandemic mini-money. She really knows what she is doing and we are so thankful she has been with us to document our most special day. :}

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!!

Makai the Dj 

5.0

Long Beach, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999

Natural born life of the party. Bringing people together to have a good time would be my super power. Not only do I love my job but I love being able to give my wedding couples the wedding experience they dreamed of.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before choosing Makai, my partner and I watched videos of at least a dozen DJs. Based on the energy and interactions we saw from Makai, we knew he was the one for us and our wedding day. From our first video call with him, we knew we had struck gold. What was meant to be a one hour zoom call turned into three hours of laughing and sharing stories as if we were old friends who had been separated by time. Makai was patient at every step in our process. He came prepared - he provided us a very helpful packet which enabled us to better organize our event. My partner and I did have many of our own ideas, and Makai graciously worked with every single idea of ours. When our ideas were incomplete or needed tweaking, he came up with creative solutions that incorporated our wants and his experience. After getting off our zoom call with Makai, my partner and I shared a big sigh of relief. In months of planning, most things had been stressful, but working with Makai felt almost too easy. We were very well taken care of. On the day of our event, Makai was early. Makai generously helped with things that were not at all his responsibility. Makai was loved by our guest; he contributed to a great vibe. At our request, Makai helped us stay on track for the whole event, and because of that, everything continued smoothly throughout the evening. Every time I looked at Makai, he had a beaming smile on his face. Even while continuing to enjoy the festivities, Makai’s music was on point. Amongst a handful of other vendors who were also awesome, Makai stands out because his contributions to our day were so impactful. I can’t recommend Makai enough.

Sarahi Photo

Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer

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.

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!

Kristina Lee Photography

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
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 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!

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.

I saw a friends make up for her courthouse wedding and asked her for the contact - who ended up being Campbell! and let me tell you, she absolutely KILLED IT!! Because of the rush, I did not have a chance to do a trial. My first time meeting her was the morning of my wedding - she came with any and everything I could have wanted to create looks from scratch and of course, knocked it out of the park for myself and my bridal party plus she was so accommodating on cost, you’d be missing out to pass up on her! excellent communication all the way up to the day and through the day, she made sure to stay on site after first looks to make sure I was pretty again for the ceremony, and was able to create various looks from dark and moody to natural and bridal - all in a matter of hours.

He provided us with a shot list of every possible picture we could think of taking (brides + mom, brides + siblings, brides + mom + siblings, etc.). It ensured that we had a formal picture with everyone that we wanted, kept us on time, and kept everyone moving efficiently. He is also just an overall great person with a cool personality.

  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style

Story Driven Wedding Films That Make You Feel. Photographs capture single moments in time, but they don’t tell the full story. As a videographer, my job is to help tell your love story by piecing together all the sounds and movements of your special day. It is only through video that you will be able to hear your partner’s vows or watch the magic of your first dance. Your wedding film is guaranteed to bring smiles, laughter, and tears as you hear and watch everyone’s joy. The rest of your love story is yours to tell. But if I do my job correctly, you will want to revisit this chapter over and over for years to come.

We were so grateful to have had Julio capture our entire wedding weekend, resulting in over 5 hours of footage (which he have watched all the way through!). Julio and Isela were a great team and were open to spending the weekend with a bunch of people they didn't know AND to adventuring through Yosemite for even more footage. We couldn't have chosen a better team to document this special occasion, thank you!

Mussels and Pearls 

5.0

Long Beach, CA
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $750

Mussels and Pearls is a passion-born seafood brand specializing in bold, flavorful chargrilled oysters and mussels. What started as a personal birthday tradition grilling shellfish over open flame every year since I was 16 years old has grown into a full-fledged business rooted in family, fire, and flavor. Each dish we serve carries the smoky essence of celebration, tradition, and the island-inspired vibes that made me fall in love with cooking in the first place. At Mussels and Pearls, it's more than seafood it's a tradition shared from my grill to you. To good oysters, mussels and memories.

If you're looking for a unique and tasty vendor, look no further! Mussels and Pearls was literally all our guests would talk about during and after the wedding. We used them as one of our vendors during cocktail hour, so their time with us was very limited. Every guest had nothing but positive things to say except that they wished they were able to get more. Everyone was just simply impressed by how tasty the oysters were and how they were able to try multiple toppings. Catered oysters is not very common to see during cocktail hours at a wedding so it definitely left a "wow" statement for our wedding. Jeff and his team are very friendly and accommodating, they literally became like family after our wedding. 10000/10 I would recommend. We loved them so much that we hired them again for our baby shower!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $599

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 was our 40th anniversary DJ, and he was pretty incredible. He also raps really well! Since then, we’ve attended two neighborhood bars where he a very popular DJ! We strongly recommend DJ Pace!

Hello Friends! I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Long Beach, CA. Weddings are my absolute favorite type of photography and I love hearing about my couples love stories. My commitment to you is to provide with the best images of your life and a feeling that we are going to be friends for awhile. I will walk you through the whole process from start to finish and I'll make sure you take the time to enjoy your special day.

James Korin Photography is WONDERFUL. If you want your wedding day or other special event to run smoothly, be fun, and to capture the important details, look no further. James Korin Photography was recommended to me by a friend whose sister used them for her wedding day. The quality of the photos are awesome. A lot of photos nowadays are super contrasted or look like a preset threw up on them, but James Korin photos are timeless and beautiful — not trendy preset photos. Our wedding photos are beautiful! Thank you!
