LOVE by Sergirée

Los Angeles, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500

My name is Sergio. My wife Desirée and I run LOVE by Sergirée together out of Los Angeles. I have been behind a camera for 15 years and weddings are where I do my best work. I shoot every wedding personally and edit every gallery myself, so what you see in our portfolio is exactly what you get. Desirée leads everything you cannot see, from the first email to the final album. Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony or a celebration with a full guest list, our approach is the same. Be present. Be honest. Let the moment unfold.

LOVE by Sergirée photographed our wedding this past June and we could not be happier. Sergio covered our whole day, from the ceremony at the Old Brown House to dinner at De La Nonna and the karaoke afterparty, and he even rode the party bus with us between stops. He also did an engagement session with us in Highland Park a few weeks beforehand, which was a blast and got us comfortable in front of the camera well ahead of the wedding. The compositions and editing are gorgeous, but what really got us is his eye for capturing moments, some we didn't even realize were happening. Having all those little interactions, expressions, and details to look back on means everything. Beyond the photos, it was just delightful having him there. Our friends at Dinner Table #1 definitely lucked out. We couldn't have imagined a better person to document such a beautiful day, and if you're looking for a wedding photographer in LA, book Sergio.

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
We enjoyed the overall experience with Indigo West from the start. He understood our preference for mostly candid photography and he did mostly that, leaving us plenty of time to mingle with guests. The photos he did direct we also loved it was nice he kept that quick, which made it very easy for us! Very happy with this vendor!

Welcome to Michael Teddy Photography, where artistry meets storytelling and your moments are preserved for a lifetime. I believe exceptional photography is about connection, vision, and capturing the authentic soul of your story. From our first conversation to your final gallery, you can expect a dedicated experience. Blending technical precision with an artistic approach, I frame the moments that matter most while thoughtfully editing every frame to perfection. Let’s create something breathtaking together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Weddings are indeed stressful. The whole process of trying to figure out what our kids wanted, needed or desired for their wedding creates a situation where there are just too many options out there and it gets confusing or even overwhelming. With Michael’s experience, he was able to cut through a lot of the questions and made things very very simple and manageable. His discussion with the happy couple beforehand gave him an idea as to where he wanted to go in a direction with the photos was a nice considerate touch. He arrived earlier in the day to work out all the finer details with the facility and during the wedding and even after made everything, not only very easy but fun and entertaining for everybody who participated. The quality of the photos and the uniqueness and time put into each one of them may this a great experience. I can’t recommend him enough.

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!

I will travel Southern California for your love story, from San Diego to LA, to Santa Barbara. My style is documentary and photojournalistic with a bit of an editorial and creative charm.

I want you to look back on your images and be able to still feel the emotions within them for decades to come, truly.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, working with Fatima was an absolute dream. After researching countless photographers online, she was my number one choice! I booked our elopement just three months in advance and was so relieved she was available. Throughout the whole process she was so incredibly kind, professional and thoughtful that, despite our short timeline, we were able to feel at ease. My (now) husband and I are both quite shy in front of the camera and were worried that we might look stiff, but Fatima was able to quell those worries and capture us exactly how we had hoped - in a very natural and organic light. All in all, Fatima went above and beyond for us in so many ways - from setting up a last minute meeting the week before to go over details (and ease my anxiety) to unexpectedly serving as our witness! She even sent us our full gallery a few weeks earlier than we had expected. We are so pleased with how everything turned out and so grateful to have worked with such a talented artist (and AMAZING human). We'll definitely be booking Fatima for our next milestones 3

I don’t even know where to begin with The Jaramillos. What started as a casual connection turned into one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. I first met them when I was planning our engagement shoot, and from the very first moment, there was an instant chemistry. They were warm, professional, and so easy to connect with that everything flowed naturally. After that incredible experience, it was a no brainer to have them capture our wedding day. And they did not disappoint. On our big day, they delivered nothing short of excellence. Their attention to detail, their calm presence, and the way they worked together as a team made everything feel effortless. captured not just photos but emotions. Every image was beautifully framed, and every moment was preserved with such care and intention. They even created a short video that moved me to tears. Watching it, I relived every emotion I felt that day: joy, love, nervousness, gratitude. It was absolutely perfect. What makes them even more special is that they are a couple, and you can feel that harmony in the way they work. They are in sync, they support each other, and they bring that energy into every moment they document. They don’t miss a thing, and they do it all with genuine kindness and heart. If you are looking for a team that will not only document your love story but also honor it with artistry and passion, The Jaramillos are the ones. I could not be more grateful for them. Thank you for turning our memories into timeless treasures.

Soda Fountain Photography

I’m Mysi (pronounced, boringly, “Missy”)! I’ve been at this thing for 12 years and I keep falling more and more in love with it all. Give me intimate micro-weddings, quirky dive bar weddings, raucous South Asian weddings... my team and I absolutely thrive in chaos and emotion. My specialty is catching the moments and those tiny moments in between. ✨✨✨

Awarded Best of Zola
We were nervous when it came to hiring a photographer, because after the whirlwind of the day, photos are one of the only things you get to keep once the day is over that help you relive the moments. We had heard so many horror stories and knew it was one of the most important decisions we were going to make. But thankfully, hiring Mysi was truly one of the BEST DECISIONS we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was intentional, thoughtful, and so easy to work with. She made it a priority to meet with us in person—not just to talk logistics, but to get a feel for how we interact with each other. She wanted to understand our dynamic so she could best capture authentic, candid moments on the day. That personal touch meant a lot to us. She even took the time to drive up to our venue (a private residence) in advance to scout out the space. Watching her creativity come to life as she walked through the house and surrounding areas was such a fun and reassuring moment—we knew we were in great hands. We didn’t want just traditional posed photos; we wanted a mix of candid, artistic, and emotionally rich shots that told the full story of the day. She completely delivered. The final gallery was more beautiful than we could’ve imagined—natural, warm, and full of moments we didn’t even realize she had caught. We showed a few of the preview photos to people who didn't attend the wedding, and they all had nothing but compliments for how stunning the photos were. It's only been a few months, but we can't stop looking at the photos. They bring us back to the exact moment in time they were taken and we are able to relive the memories. Literally the only negative is that we can't figure out what our favorites are because they are all that great! We’re beyond grateful and couldn’t recommend Mysi more highly. If you want a photographer who truly sees you and puts her heart into every frame, she’s the one.

We vetted quite a few wedding photographers before deciding on Jordan. We were really impressed from day one. He worked with us on customizing our package to meet what we desired as far as style of pictures, time frame, etc. He was punctual at all our checkpoints and early to the venue. He hadn’t been to our venue before and what was impressive was he did some recon work to get a better vision on where to do a significant portion of our portrait shoot prior to the wedding. The day was seamless, it would’ve been even more perfect if the wind and weather cooperated but he and his second photographer worked through it.

Jess Onesto is an absolute dream to work with! If you are looking for a wedding photographer who will make you feel completely comfortable and capture the most beautiful, authentic moments, look no further. My husband and I have always felt awkward when we have to pose for professional photos. Jess completely changed that experience for us. She seriously made me feel like I was a model throughout my entire wedding weekend. She has this innate ability to put everyone at ease and guide you so naturally that you forget you are even being photographed. Her direction feels effortless, and somehow she captures these genuine, intimate moments. We are absolutely obsessed with all of the photos we have seen thus far (I have included some here)! Every single shot is stunning, and our entire family has been raving about them non-stop. Throughout the wedding weekend, we received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved Jess and her warm presence. She truly became part of our celebration. Honestly, I am already thinking of excuses to hire Jess again for family photos because working with her was such a wonderful experience. I truly cannot recommend her more highly!

  • Starts at $6,500

I'm admittedly wary when it comes to the Wedding Industry and all of it's bells/whistles/expectations, and at the same time, I believe wholeheartedly in the power of community, love, commitment, and collective joy. I think that weddings-- in all of their forms and reclamations-- ultimately serve a great purpose in reminding us of these gifts. I come from a long line of meticulous documenters and hold a degree in Sociology, all of which informs the way I approach photography. I am curious about people, am in awe of the display of emotion, and am passionate about the ways in which we construct family and community.

My husband and I worked with Kenzie for our engagement session in the summer of 2021 and our wedding in the spring of 2022. As you can tell from the timeline both sessions were at the peak of the Pandemic. This season was filled with excitement but also stress as we balanced our family's health, our deepest desires for the wedding, and the weight of the global pandemic. Kenzie gave us the peace that we so desperately needed. All in all, she was our favorite wedding vendor. After our initial onboarding Zoom call, my husband and I turned to each other and screamed did we just make a new best friend?! She is not only professional but personal. She has a great artistic vision but also respected the direction we gave. Kenzie takes a photojournalistic approach to her work and because of that, we feel like these moments are enshrined in history! My favorite Kenzie touch was the pre-wedding survey she provided us that helped her understand what emotions we had going into "the most important day of our lives". She prompted us with questions about the relationship dynamics between our family and friends, and the quirky details of our love, and our answers allowed her to capture more than just a single snapshot in time. Kenzie's photos capture FEELINGS. Thank you thank you thank you and we cannot wait to work with you for our next life event!!

The kind of work I do within the wedding photography genre is very distinct - every image stands on its own as a thoughtful composition as if from a cinematic art house film or high-end commercial/editorial shoot. My color grading is immediately identifiable and unique - developed through years of studying color theory - uncommon today in a sea of 'presets' that other photographers purchase on the internet for they have no knowledge of how to build their own. My compositions are often quirky, surprising, different. I always attempt to show a point of view that's uncommon and fascinating to the viewer.

The quality of their work is truly stunning, with beautiful, interesting, and romantic photos that captured all the special moments of our day. Fitz felt more like an artist than a typical wedding photographer, seemingly inspired by the beauty of our celebration. He did an amazing job of putting me (the bride) at ease in front of the camera and was great at wrangling all of our family members for group shots. We are thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend Fitz Carlile Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Elyana Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Los Angeles, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,600

I believe the best photos occur when... artistry and intentionality meet moments of heartfelt connection. I'll guide you towards the dreamiest light and offer unobtrusive direction that lends to natural movements and sincere emotion. I also slow things down and help re-center everyone, creating space for beautiful moments to unfold, like mom fluffing your veil, dad's expression when he sees you all dressed up, and fleeting looks between you and your partner.

We cannot recommend Elena/Elyana enough. We used her for both our engagement photos and our wedding, and we are so incredibly glad we did. We just received our full wedding gallery, and the photos absolutely did not disappoint. From the beginning, she understood the vision I had for the day and brought it to life even better than I imagined. We had a very specific vibe for our wedding — Pasadena City Hall for the ceremony and then a backyard reception in South Pasadena with a bougie lounge feel, blacks, silvers, candlelight, and lots of fun personal details. She captured all of it so beautifully. What I loved most is that the photos feel like us. She captured the big, beautiful moments, but also all of the fun, candid, slightly chaotic, perfectly “our people” parts of the day. The laughter, the energy, the dance floor, the little reactions, the details — everything came through in a way that lets us relive the day all over again. She also fully embraced the more creative photo ideas I had, including the crazy box photos I wanted, and absolutely nailed them. Those were something I had been so excited about, and seeing them actually come to life was amazing. Having worked with her for our engagement photos first, we already knew we were in great hands by the time the wedding day arrived. That made the whole process feel easy and comfortable, and it really shows in the final photos. Wedding photos are such a huge part of remembering the day, and Elena/Elyana gave us a gallery that feels emotional, fun, artistic, and completely personal to us. We are so grateful we had her as our photographer and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who can capture not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt.

Tida Svy Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Los Angeles, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

Ayyy it’s ya girl Tida (like pita)! I’m not just another photographer – I’m your hype girl, your ally, your eyes and your ears on your wedding day. I’ll be there freaking out shouting “YASSS OMG HOT FIRE ALERT” hyping you up during portraits because holy-shit you look amazing AF! I’ll be dancing circles around your guests while I shove my camera in their faces, fixing your hair when the wind gets too cray, and confidently (and loudly) directing your family portrait time. I’m a tiny ball of giant energy and gurl, it shows on your wedding day – TRUST.

From the moment we met Tida, we felt her energy was going to be a great compliment to our Wedding day. She was very easy to work with and really went above and beyond for us on several occasions. We battled crazy PNW weather and her flexibility allowed us to get fall engagement photos we were thrilled with. She crossed mountain passes during the snow storm of the year and arrived a day early to ensure she wouldn't miss a moment on our Wedding day. The result...gorgeous wedding photos we got thanks to her handy work and a foot of fresh snow!! Since then she's taken the time to do holiday mini-sessions with us that included our fabulous new fur-baby for our family Christmas cards. She stopped at nothing to get his attention! It's been great having someone we trust that feels more like a friend to help us document our journey. We look forward to her capturing many more moments to come!

Jonathan Moore Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Los Angeles, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

My name is Jonathan Moore. I am a Los Angeles based wedding photographer and available worldwide. I'll get right to it: The very last thing I want is for you to think of your experience with me as a "photoshoot." I think that posed "prom" photos are totally lame and reflect absolutely nothing unique about you or your partner. After all, you are not actors pretending to be "in love," so why should your images reflect that? At the core, your images should ultimately remind you of why you fell in love in the first place. This is what we're celebrating!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Jonathan was awesome! Communication was easy and we met with him and did a tour of the venue to align on exactly what we wanted. He was super helpful on the day but didn’t get in the way at all! The photos were absolutely amazing, we seriously couldn’t be happier with the output. He really captured who we are and how we feel About each other without any awkward posing which I personally hate lol. Thanks so much!!!

Thank you so much to Ashley and the team at Sorelina LA for making our vow renewal ceremony so special. We originally eloped in Long Beach in 2021, and now that we've welcomed a baby into the mix, we thought it was time to renew those promises. Jeremiah was a gracious and lovely officiant, and Kaitlin's photos are genuinely breathtaking. The day couldn't have been better. Thank you to all of you for making our time and commitment so special.
