Hi! I'm Emily Carlson, a wedding photographer serving couples across Southern California and beyond. With a calm, people-focused approach, I create bright, timeless images that reflect the joy, connection, and heart of your day. I'm passionate about helping couples feel relaxed, supported, and fully present so you can enjoy every moment while I document your story authentically and beautifully.

From our first conversation with Emily Carlson Photography, we knew we had found someone special. She was responsive to our questions, genuinely kind, and willing to work with us on all the details. For our engagement photos Emily had a gift for making us forget the camera was even there—she captured real moments of giggles. She also suggested some beautiful spots for photos that we never would have thought of on our own. The photos came back quickly and they're absolutely stunning, with a bright and airy feel that perfectly matches our style. We'd recommend Emily to anyone looking for a photographer who is easy to work with and delivers gorgeous images.

Randall de Leon Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (51 reviews)
Los Angeles, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was a true pleasure to have Randall and his staff a part of our wedding vendor team. He is a true professional and master at his craft. My wife and I were very particular in choosing our wedding photographer. We knew that our wedding photos were going to last forever and wanted to be sure that the photographer we choose was going to capture all of the essential moments. Every photographer has their own style when it comes to editing the photos and Randall’s was exactly what we were looking for. After we wrapped up our initial consultation call, my wife and I knew that he was the photographer we wanted. He was easy to communicate with and we felt very comfortable with him as if we had know each other for years. He built us a personalized package that accommodated all of our specific needs. Leading up to our special day, he made sure to check in on us multiple times and made sure we never had to worry about a thing. His knowledge and experience as a wedding photographer made us feel like we had another wedding coordinator. He knew all of the ins and outs and was going to be prepared for any unexpected changes that might come his way. On the day of the wedding, him and his staff were able to seamlessly work with our videographer to capture all of the important moments we wanted. They were well organized and had a clear game plan. I cannot stress how important having him was on the day of the wedding. He kept my wife and I at ease and was able to adjust to all of the twist and turns that were thrown at him. He was always looking out for us as a couple and made sure our best interests were held. Everyone involved with our wedding spoke so highly of him and his staff. If we were to choose an MVP of the day, Randall takes the cake. We were so excited when he told us our gallery was ready to view and when our hard drive was available to pickup. He captured every single moment and every time we look through the photos we can relive one of the most important days of our lives. We truly appreciate Randall and will always recommend him to any of our family or friends. There is no one else we will call if we ever need a photographer.

Leave it to us and make the 2nd best decision of your life, after choosing to marry your loved one, of course :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently received our photos and video package from Aladdin Films and we couldn't be happier with the results. Their documentary film was extraordinary—it let us relive our wedding day in a way that felt genuine and special. The team responded quickly to all our questions and kept everything professional from start to finish, which made the planning process smooth. Towards the end of the night, we realized we never signed our marriage license. When I asked Ali if they could stay for a few extra minutes to capture those moments, they agreed without hesitation. All our photos and videos came back on time and are truly beautiful. One thing we wish is that they had been a bit more assertive when organizing our family photos as we didn't end up with every shot/ family groupings requested on our list. We do have a larger family which can also lead towards more chaos as you can imagine. Of course part of this was a timing issue as all photos with bride and groom together needed to be done within cocktail hour as we did not do a first look. Overall, Aladdin Films delivered exactly what we needed to remember our special day and we were absolutely thrilled with our choice to work with them. I would definitely recommend Ali and the team going forward.

I'm a Brazilian photographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, specializing in multicultural weddings since 2018. I've photographed couples from all over the world, blending traditions from the USA to India, Nigeria to Scotland, Mexico to South Korea. My style is vibrant, natural, and true to life—focused on authentic emotion and candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We discovered Gui on Zola and reached out because of his experience with photographing marriages for various cultures and from various backgrounds. Gui's photographs also caught our eye as there were great candid shots to capture the moment and sweet posed ones. When we met with Gui over zoom to get to know each other, he was kind, responsive, and knowledgable. Gui helped put us at ease, and it was a fairly quick decision to go with him after we met. We did an engagement photo session with Gui. He was very flexible when the park we wanted to do the session at was closed. We were able to pivot, and Gui took incredible photos in the new location. Gui also did not pressure us always asking if we were okay with the poses, but adjusting us for better shots. We were so happy with the engagement photos. On the day of the wedding, Gui was prompt and punctual. We took a few shots before the ceremony. During the ceremony, Gui captured all the key moments, but we also received compliments from our guests that he did not distract or take away from teh ceremony. Gui did great with the family photos and was very gracious in the many photos with friends during the reception. We cannot recommend Gui enough. His demeanor helped to relieve any stress around the photos both during the engagement session and the wedding. Gui's experience with many different couples has helped him develop cultural sensitivity which he uses to capture and highlight the unique moments of their ceremony. Thank you so much, Gui, for all your help during the wedding.

Highly recommend Big Day Memories. Fast and clear communication during the booking process, professionalism during the wedding, and quality of the gorgeous photos were all excellent. We are a middle-age couple, wanted fairly traditional photos, and are not natural or comfortable in front of the camera. The team did a great job of giving us suggestions without being pushy. WE LOVE OUR PHOTOS. They were delivered quickly even sooner than the contract deadline. Masha and the Big Day team captured exactly the balance of candid and portraits that we requested. We were on a fixed budget and are very pleased with the value.

The Drunk Wedding Photographer

Los Angeles, CA
  • Classic style

I'm David Cruz, Los Angeles wedding photographer specializing in film wedding photography. I photograph weddings exclusively on Kodak 35mm film — from backyard ceremonies in Silver Lake and Eagle Rock to courthouse elopements in Beverly Hills, small weddings in Downtown Los Angeles and Malibu, simple weddings throughout Southern California, and vineyard estate weddings on the Central Coast — on real Kodak Gold and Kodak Ultramax 35mm film. ✨ published in ✨ The White Wren・Rock n Roll Bride・Boho Weddings・Bespoke Bride・About Photography・Nikon Owner・Mexico in my Pocket

Choosing David Cruz as our film wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our small wedding in Cavalli Estates in the outskirts of San Luis Obispo. He was easy to contact and had timely responses, he was collaborative in his approach and listened to our ideas and how we wanted the day to be captured, he took the time to understand what we imagined and cared about bringing those ideas to life. He set clear expectations for processing time and followed through perfectly. The presentation of the prints was absolutely beautiful, such a special touch. Every detail felt thoughtfully done. Also- Kodak film (from the little knowledge I have) is what helped contribute to the beauty of the color of our photos! What meant the most to us was how seamlessly he fit into the day. He never pulled us away from our guests or the moments we were living. Instead, he quietly captured everything as it unfolded, pure, honest, joy-filled moments we didn’t even realize he was catching. David managed to get photos of everyone at our wedding and somehow bottled up all the joy and love that was present; looking through the photos, you can truly feel the day all over again. All of our guests loved David and enjoyed chatting with him! We are so grateful he listened to everything we wanted and that meant the world to us!

Olga and Ivan were a dream to work with and if you are thinking about working with them just book them! They were one of the biggest highlights of our wedding day, even our guests were talking about how amazing the photographers were! From the start they were beyond kind and attentive. It is so clear that they love what they do. I really can't express enough gratitude for the Eterna films team for not only capturing our day so beautifully but also for their insanely hard work ethic and above and beyond attitude on the day. Beyond their phenomenal attitude and presence on the day their photography and videography is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We have such beautiful memories of our wedding, and I think the photos and videos might be even more beautiful than the day was itself.

Honestly Jose saved our lives! Previously to hiring him and his team, my wife and I had gotten scammed by a photographer. I was scared and of course super stressed about finding a new photographer I could trust and I could rely on. From the beginning the communication with Jose was amazing and this is so important with any wedding vendor. He captured our wedding so beautifully and that’s all we really want when hiring a wedding photographer. He even sent sneak peeks like two days after the wedding! And our pictures were ready so fast! I highly recommend New Ending Productions for your wedding and all your photography needs.

Working with Elizabeth and Tim was an absolute dream. From the moment we met them, their kindness and professionalism put us at ease, even though my husband and I are naturally a bit camera-shy. They made us feel completely comfortable, and it shows in the stunning photos and video they captured. Their attention to detail, creativity, and genuine care for their work made the entire experience seamless. We couldn’t be happier with how beautifully they documented our special day, and we feel so lucky to have had them there.

The Archive House

Los Angeles, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,260

At The Archive House, we create timeless wedding photography and cinematic films that preserve the genuine emotions, meaningful details, and unforgettable moments of your celebration. We believe your wedding experience should feel relaxed, personal, and thoughtfully supported from the moment you inquire through the final delivery. Our goal is to document your story honestly and beautifully so you can relive not only how your wedding looked, but how it truly felt.

We booked The Archive House for both photography and videography, and looking back it was one of the easiest decisions we made during wedding planning. I was honestly a little nervous because neither of us loves being in front of a camera. During our engagement session they made everything feel so relaxed that by the wedding day we already knew what to expect. It never felt overly posed or awkward, which was a huge relief. Our timeline ended up running behind after hair and makeup took longer than expected, and I remember thinking we were going to lose all of our portrait time. Stephen stayed calm, adjusted a few things with our coordinator, and somehow we still got the photos we really wanted without feeling rushed. That alone took so much stress off my shoulders. Family photos were another thing I was worried about because we both have big families, but they kept everyone organized, moved things along quickly, and were so patient with our grandparents and younger cousins. One of my favorite memories is right before the ceremony when my veil kept blowing around because it was so windy. Instead of making it feel like a problem, they laughed with us, helped fix everything, and actually used the wind to create some of my favorite portraits from the day. When we received everything back, it felt like we were reliving the day instead of just looking through pictures. The film brought back moments we had already forgotten, and there were so many little interactions with family that we never even realized had been captured. If you're looking for someone who is organized, calm under pressure, and genuinely cares about making the day easier, I would absolutely recommend The Archive House. They made us feel comfortable from start to finish, and that made a bigger difference than we expected.

Lavender Lux Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Los Angeles, CA
  • Classic style

I’m the type of gal who sings at the top of her lungs like nobody is listening. I love cheesy shows on the CW, Disneyland, and bows, dresses and the color pink are my jam! If I weren’t a human, I’d love to be one of those things - is that a strange thing to say? Most of my closet is pink, most of my accessories are bows and you’ll almost always find me in a dress. While I am the epitome of a girly girl, I also enjoy the freshness of being in the mountains, campfires and snowboarding with my hubby. My love of photography began in elementary school - I was always the “gal with the camera."

Susie with Lavender Lux is the cutest! Not only does she have such a bright + bubbly spirit, but she is easy to work with, and her work is gorgeous. I highly recommend Lavender for any family or kids session, event or wedding!
