Bedrosian Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (36 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Long Beach, CA

I’m Peter, the guy behind Bedrosian Photo. I photograph weddings, people, parties, emotion, chaos, and all the weird little moments in between. I care way more about honesty than perfection — the nervous energy before a ceremony, your drunk uncle on the dance floor, your grandma crying quietly in the corner, or the split-second look your partner gives you when they think nobody’s watching. Those moments matter more than anything staged ever could.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are beyond grateful for our experience with Peter. From the very first conversation, he was so easy to communicate with and truly understood our vision. On our wedding day, he not only captured every moment exactly how we imagined, but also brought such a calm and positive energy that made everything feel less stressful. His attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture genuine emotions made our photos absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to be part of our special day. I will be recommending him to everyone I know getting married! Book him now!

Indigo West 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Long Beach, CA

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Daniel from Indigo West as our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From our first conversation, we loved his calm, thoughtful demeanor and his organic, artistic approach to capturing the day. His eye for composition and detail is exceptional and the photos truly tell a story. As a same-sex couple, we wanted someone who could move beyond traditional wedding clichés, capture the grandeur of our museum venue (complete with dinosaur skeletons) while making it feel intimate, and handle dark, dramatic spaces. Daniel did all of that and more. He captured the energy, emotion, laughter, and joy of the day beautifully. Daniel was efficient but never rushed. He was professional yet playful, and it felt like he immediately understood our dynamic as a couple and with our guests. We trusted his vision completely, and it absolutely shows in the photos. Most importantly, Daniel brought such a fun, relaxed energy—it never felt like he was just doing a job. We can’t recommend him enough.

Lulan Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Long Beach, CA

Lulan’s creativity has led to his path beyond most conventional definitions. He has won 25+ wedding photography awards, named the Best Wedding Photographer in Los Angeles; while acquired advance degree in immunology and medicine from UCLA.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Lulan Studios about nine months before our wedding day. We were immediately drawn in by their professionalism and their reputation. Lulan is an inclusive photographer who was very receptive to our wedding vision. He and his team were incredibly kind, supportive, and helpful all throughout the process. We elected to go with Lulan Wang himself for our photographer who worked with an associate. After our initial consultation we were turned over to Shannon who was our go to contact for day to day clarifications and vendor contact until Lulan took over just before the wedding. Shannon was immensely resourceful and responsive. She communicated with our coordinator very efficiently and was always on top of our booking. We are very grateful to her as well for making the process so easy and for continuing that communication after the fact. On the day, Lulan and his associate were spectacular. It was clear his associate had more than enough talent for the job just like Lulan, but they divided and concurred by using two different types of cameras for different types of shots. We regret not doing an engagement session with them, but we will likely return for an Anniversary session in the future. We didn’t even need one though, because he is skilled enough that he understood us as a couple immediately. They made us feel comfortable and confident. They hyped us up and moved through the shot list masterfully. Nothing was missed and we captured far more than we expected. Please look through our attached photos as they speak for themselves. One of the most exciting moments was when Lulan handed us a little blue book filled with about fifteen physically printed preview photos DURING THE RECEPTION. A lovely surprise that absolutely shocked me. Turnover was 4-6 weeks and we got ours just before the six week mark right on schedule. We were floored. They are jaw-dropping. We ultimately got 950 photos permanently digitally available for high resolution download and access to a shop with impressive options for prints and albums of a wide array of types and sizes. I’m thrilled to show them to you here and implore you to consider booking Lulan Studios. We trusted in their ability from the beginning and we were not disappointed. They are among if not the absolute best in the business.

Carmelisse Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (17 reviews)
Long Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • 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
Wedding Veterans will tell you that your photographer really sets the tone of your wedding. They are much more than just the person that takes pictures. They take the time to understand who you are as a couple and the story you want to tell and really how you'll look back on your wedding day for years to come. Carmelisse was that and more for us. From the moment we saw her photos from mutuals' weddings we knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding. In our first meeting, it felt like talking to a long-time friend and it was an easy decision for us to put all our trust in her and her team. She was the first person we hired after our wedding planner. We actually contacted her the month after we got engaged in 2021 but her 2023 book wasn't open yet. After conversing via text and email for months, we met her for the first time during our engagement shoot and she captured us and our dogs perfectly (YES, she capture our anxiety-ridden GSD mixes with smiles and they stood still, and the doggos absolutely fell in love with her husband, THANKS REX!!) She helped us pick the area and with putting together comfortable poses. Her turnaround time was so reasonable, the photos are just plain awesome. I have a hard time putting into words how great they are but I literally tear up with happiness every time I look through my album (which I still do ALOT). For the wedding day, Carmelisse and John kept us hyped and on schedule. A lot of things happen on the wedding day and Carmelisse was already ready to help us adjust and adapt. She captured all of our memories so beautifully. I can't stop singing her praises for her work and her as a person. She truly cares and it is seen through her work and her actions on the wedding day. AND Carmelisse is so stinking great - I went through a health scare the morning of my engagement shoot, I was trying to power through because I was afraid of canceling late but all Carmelisse cared about was that I was ok and she immediately rescheduled without additional thought. Carmelisse will be our forever photographer and we want her to shoot all of our future milestones. After our wedding, so many of our friends and family have already added her on Instagram for the future when she can shoot their wedding or life event.

Mirage and Light Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
Long Beach, CA
  • 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.

We booked Amanda for our engagement photos and our elopement. One of the reasons we loved our sessions is Amanda’s approach. She will definitely tell you exactly what to do and find ways of making the photos feel natural and fun. On our wedding day, she was great at directing the family, making sure I got all the shots I wanted, and even fluffing my dress to ensure it looked beautiful in the photos. She found the perfect balance of directing people and being efficient during the process. Our elopement was 100 degrees outside and Amanda was so kind and thoughtful about giving me photo breaks and cold water. Our photos turned out gorgeous and we could not be happier. We call Amanda our “family photographer” and plan to use her for all special events in the future. If you hire Amanda- rest well knowing your event will be handled with care and your photos will be gorgeous!

Sarahi Photo

Long Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

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
Sarahi was so sweet and open in our consultation. We knew from the start that she was the photographer we needed. It was the first consultation with a photographer in which we did not feel pushed to book or left with any questions. She told us what to expect and and gave us advice if we decided not to book her! During the wedding she was so Kind and was able to keep my crazy family on check and participate in photos! We loved her and loved the photos!

Erin Paris Portraits 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Long Beach, CA
  • 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!

Kristina Lee Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Long Beach, CA
  • 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!

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!

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.

Such a pleasure to work with Kathy! She is on top of everything as works as hard as the wedding planner to make sure everything goes smoothly and that all the must-have photos are captured. She is very organized both before the event and day off. While being on top of things she still manages to have a laid back personality and blends into the background so you barely remember she has a camera all up in your face. haha. Plus, the photos came out Beautifully!! She captured our love and our special day so well. We will cherish her photos for years to come. Highly recommend!

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

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.

My journey with photography began in 2012, sparked by a deep love for capturing moments that matter. Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to developing my craft, refining both the technical and emotional elements that make a photo truly unforgettable. Photography, to me, is more than just a profession—it’s a way to preserve joy, love, and connection in a form you can hold onto forever. I find purpose and fulfillment in being part of life’s most meaningful celebrations, turning fleeting moments into lasting memories that my clients can treasure for generations.

Susana and the team at Shutterbug VideoPix were a joy to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, they were responsive, kind, and clear in their communication, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. Their work ethic is truly impressive - Susana went above and beyond to ensure we got all the shots we wanted, even suggesting creative ideas we hadn't considered. On the day of the wedding, Susana's passion for her craft shone through as she expertly captured all the special moments. Looking back at the beautiful photos, we're so grateful to have had Susana there to help make our day truly memorable.

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.

I focus on candid photos mostly because I love capturing my couples just the way they are! We will have fun, laugh and maybe cry together! I also do some posed photos here and there but I love capturing those moments in between.

From the moment we booked Golden Vibes Photo, we felt like we were working with family. Vanessa was always quick to respond, thoughtfully answering all of our questions and making us feel at ease throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Vanessa’s warm and inviting presence helped capture the true feel of our celebration. She had already shot our engagement photos, so by the time the big day arrived, she felt like a member of our family. She went above and beyond, helping with little details and ensuring every moment was perfectly preserved. The final photos are absolute perfection, truly capturing the love and joy we felt on our wedding day. We are so grateful to have found Golden Vibes Photo and cannot recommend them highly enough!!!

Wedding content creator. Capturing all the in between moments so your wedding party and friends can enjoy the day with you. All content delivered back to you within 48 hours or faster so you can relive the day instantly. For photography, portraits, couples, families, and special occasions.

Working with Leanna was an absolute blast. Instead of making the shoot feel staged or stiff, she turned it into an adventure where we could relax, laugh, and just enjoy the moment. She has this amazing energy that makes you forget there’s even a camera involved. The photos speak for themselves. They’re vibrant, full of personality, and capture the genuine connection between us in a way that feels completely unique. Some of our favorite shots came from the little in-between moments we didn’t even realize she was catching. That ability to freeze raw emotion and turn it into a masterpiece is truly something rare. Beyond her talent, Leanna is just fun to be around. She’s creative, easy to work with, and brought ideas that made the session feel exciting rather than stressful. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and that passion comes through in the final product. If you want photos that don’t just look beautiful but actually tell your story, Leanna is the one. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and will treasure these images forever.

At the heart of everything I do is the belief that art has the power to transform and connect. Whether I’m photographing a couple on their wedding day, or a performer in the spotlight, I bring the same commitment: to seek out beauty, truth, and the story that deserves to be remembered. My style blends authenticity with artistry, capturing both grand milestones and quiet, fleeting moments. Beyond photography, I’m a musician, theater artist, and yoga teacher—creative practices that fuel my vision behind the lens.

Amal’s work is stunning, she has an incredible eye for detail and captures the most meaningful moments with such elegance and ease. What sets her apart is how invisibly she moves-- you almost forget she is there! Her photos feel alive and authentic, never forced, and she has a way of making people feel completely at ease. Highly Recommend!

I love colorful, full of fun, romantic, true-to-you weddings! A little about me, Ariel! I can't live without love, beautiful in-season flowers all over my house and adventure. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings for the past 10 years; over 200 weddings!

Ariel shot my husband and I's Long Beach art district engagement session and our Joshua Tree anniversary shoot. I wasn't lucky enough to have Ariel photograph my actual wedding, but hopefully, you will be able to swoop her up because she is a gem! The testament to a great wedding photographer isn't just that they capture beautiful photos, but that they communicate and listen to you as a couple and make you feel at ease. Ariel is incredibly professional and makes sure she understands what you want out of your images, while also bringing her expertise and experience to capture those special moments that will bring you joy. You are in safe hands with Ariel if you're not comfortable in front of the camera or are afraid of looking awkward because she takes the time to help bring out that natural smile and loosen you up. I know this because I'm a self-proclaimed adorkable person who can get super awkward in front of a camera, and Ariel has a way of gently suggesting a better angle/shot or inspiring a more natural smile. She doesn't just click a button but is looking at the photo she is capturing to ensure she is snapping a beautiful image. Ariel also doesn't heavily treat her images with dramatic filters. She just brings out the beautiful colors and light of the day. If you want simply beautiful images, Lark & Lavender is the way to go! When you hire Lark & Lavender, you're not just hiring a wedding photographer but a creative artist who has a vision for capturing every beautiful and memorable moment of your day, plus she just makes you instantly feel relaxed and at ease which is essential on what can sometimes be a very stressful day.

I have been photographing weddings southern California over a decade now. I grew up in Orange County, went to CSUF to study photojournalism, and have been based out of Long Beach for the past five years, where I live with my handsome fiance and our adorable Golden Retriever, Theodore!

I’ve known Mary Claire since I was 15, back when we used to take photos together just for fun. Over the past 15 years, I’ve watched her grow into the incredible photographer she is today and I knew without a doubt that I had to have her capture our wedding day. Mary Claire is truly gifted. She has a natural ability to make anyone feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, and her eye for detail is unmatched. Her editing is beautiful, timeless, and made every single photo look absolutely perfect. I am beyond happy with our photos, they are everything I dreamed of and more. I would recommend Mary Claire to absolutely anyone looking for a talented, kind, and exceptional photographer.

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.
