“Carmen did such an amazing job capturing our wedding back in July. As soon as we got engaged in 2019, we knew we wanted Carmen to do our photos. She did both our engagement and wedding shoot: Her work is so professional and so dreamy! And on top of that—she’s super fun and makes awkward people (like us) look so good! Our wedding was outdoors at Saddlerock Ranch, Malibu and had about 250 guests. Carmen and her team were so attentive, helpful, and made everything run smoothly! Carmen was my unofficial bridesmaid that day and anything that I needed, she was there. I know this review is only from my stand point of view, but everyone that I shared these photos with were in complete awe of how beautiful they turned out. We will definitely be reaching out to Carmen for future celebrations!”

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.

“How can I explain with words just how amazing our experience with Mirage and Light (Amanda) was?? To start, I was referred to Amanda by my now-husbands cousin who had used her amazing skills for her own wedding! So I knew from the start that she was going to be amazing. From first contact, Amanda was so positive and professional. I booked her immediately and she offered a free engagement photo shoot with a wedding photography booking! Talk about a great deal! She was so lovely to meet and she made us so comfortable in front of the camera. Her payment plan was stellar and the contract was so clear and helpful, I had no trouble referencing any information I had forgotten. On to the wedding! As the big day approached, we listed out all the different groups to be photographed. Not only did she stick to that list so well, but she also thought of other group shots that we forgot about as the day was happening! She thought of everything! And if that wasn’t enough, her husband joined her to help with the pictures! They had the whole day covered and I always felt like every moment was being caught. As for quality, I feel so beautiful when I look at the pictures she took (and dare I say my husband also feels beautiful when he looks at them ;) So if you want a professional, organized, all around lovely person to do your wedding pics, Mirage and Light checks all the boxes!”

“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.

“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.”

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.

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.”

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”

Hi!!! Again I’m so glad you’re here. So when I’m not shooting what am I doing with my time? Being from southern california, I spend A LOT of time at the beach, beach bum for life. I have crazy love for road trips, traveling, camping, hiking, adventuring to Catalina Island (my second home) I’m kind of an adrenaline junkie, want to bungee jumping or skydiving? Lets go! Korean bbq and sushi are the way to my heart, I’m not kidding I can probably eat it every day. I have an amazing partner, Curtis, and we’re expecting our bundle of joy June 2022 & last but not least we have our boy blue! The cutest golden retriever ever.

Kristina Lee Photography

  • 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.

“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’m not normally someone who wears a lot of makeup and she really took that into consideration for my wedding day. She was able to make me feel comfortable with the makeup and she perfectly captured the vintage vibe I was going for on my wedding day! Highly recommend!”
