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
Working with Carmelisse was a dream come true! She did both our engagement and wedding photos. With all of the ups and downs of planning a wedding during Covid, she made the process seamless with her communication and informative emails. Which was greatly appreciative. I was contacting several photographers who just sent “links” that didn’t say much. Which I feel at the beginning stages of a planning a wedding , information is important, and Carmelisse understands that, and gives you all needed details. She came highly recommend from three people (and they were absolutely right)! She did amazing at not just capturing “posed” shots, but the “candid” moments. The photos we never knew we needed, yet are absolutely grateful for. For the engagement shot, it was myself, my husband and our active four year old son! Carmelisse rolled with not only our awkwardness but the wildness of us chasing our son around. She found a way to balance us out and capture the love in every moment. On our wedding day, she knocked it out the park! Every guest and family member was raving about Carmelisse and her team! She was efficient, kind, professional and fun! She out did herself with accomplishing our “Hollywood glam” look and capturing everyone in there best moments! Another big thing, I love about Carmelisse is her delivery of photos, she sticks to her timeline that she gives, and her presentation of photos is not only beautiful, but organized (which made it easy to navigate). Thankful for everything that Carmelisse brought to the table with her experience! She is a 10/10!

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 

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 has brought my vision to life and captured timeless memories of our wedding. What sets her apart from other photographers is her unique style and professionalism. Our photos have even been selected by Southern California bride! Besides the beautiful photography, she made us feel very special by surprising us with little Polaroid pics during the wedding, a very cool retro photo viewer, personalized box with the photo flash drive and lots of other unique gifts, which felt very special and thoughtful.

My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used.

Erin Paris Portraits

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.

Hiring Erin as our engagement and wedding photographer was the best decision I made (aside from my groom, of course!). I can’t begin to describe the care with which she approach every conversation and every detail. We worked together for months before the big day to refine decor and ensure that my vision came to life. And even with all that time and effort, the end result was better than I could’ve ever imagined. Erin will feel like part of the family, blending in with your loved ones, eliciting genuine smiles and laughter, and perfectly capturing the love that reverberates through the room. And as incredibly talented as she is behind the lens, she is an even better human being. Stop searching - if you’re reading this, you have found the wedding photographer of your dreams.

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
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 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

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

Natalie is the most professional, genuine, and talented wedding photographer. I promise you that you cannot and simply will not find a lovelier, more generous, or more brilliant person to help you sidestep stress and make the wedding planning process and wedding day a joy. At our wedding, three different people asked me if I'd later share her contact information with them for whenever they got married. Just think about that for a moment: three people were so blown away by Natalie's warmth, energy, and beautiful, bubbly personality that they would hire her on the spot without having yet seen her stunning work and even though they weren't engaged. Natalie's smile brightens up an entire room, and she has a truly remarkable way of making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. She'll make you laugh, she'll keep your energy up, she'll capture the moments you dreamed would one day hang on your walls, and most of all, she will make you feel like your day, your marriage, and your love are the center of the entire world. This gift of her presence and love is extraordinary, and I promise you that it extends beyond anything you could ever hope or expect to receive from any wedding vendor. I cried when she sent us our photos because they are so profoundly beautiful and so full of the true emotion that she naturally drew from even the most reserved of our family members. Every photo was so natural and full of light and joy. Natalie has so much talent, and if you're one of her brides you'll quickly realize how lucky you are to have someone care so deeply about you and about capturing your special day. Before our wedding, Natalie spoke with me over email and on the phone, sent a thoughtful questionnaire to help us articulate our aesthetic and photography hopes, sent a quick engagement gift, and even checked in over text to make sure I was doing well the week before the wedding. After the wedding, she sent cute thank you gifts and GORGEOUS photos (you will love yours too!). But my favorite memory will always be from our wedding day when she took a moment to dance with my shy 5 year old nephew and draw him out of his shell so he could enjoy the party. The huge smile on his face will always be one of my most precious moments of our wedding day. My nephew, like so many of our guests, still ask about Natalie all the time. It was a pleasure to work with Natalie and to get to know her, and I hope you too will be fortunate to experience Natalie's light, love, and unparalleled talent.

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.

Jeffrey and his team are experts with great taste. They showed up early for our event, set up beautifully and served a very long line throughout the entire event. Everyone loved his food and professionalism. Can’t wait to hire him again soon!
