Los Angeles, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900

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!

Eivan's made our wedding day wonderful! Alexander Schmidt was our photographer, and our videographer was Noah. We got our pictures back sooner than expected, and they suited the exact style we had hoped for. Communication was great, photos were easy to access, and we were allowed free download for so many pictures! One family portrait had one person not looking, otherwise people were smiling and looking in everything. Many people commented on their professionalism as well as their kindness at the wedding. Thanks, Eivan's!

  • 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.

Sergio was AMAZING! I don't even know where to begin. His communication from the jump was fantastic, especially as we tinkered with the timing of our microwedding/first look, and chatting with him as we adjusted things was always a stress-free experience. On our wedding day it was like he had this superpower where it was like he could be everywhere at once but also disappear and reappear when he needed to, to get a family member out of the light if they were washed out or to help rearrange the dress's train, and he was great with both our more extroverted and more camera-shy family members. He was so kind to everyone but also a true master of his craft, and his turn-around time for delivery was also bananas fast. He squeezed every moment of beauty out of our short wedding ceremony, getting both beautiful candids and bigger family photos, and we're so happy that these are the photos we'll look back on in the future, and show our kids and their kids. We can't recommend LOVE by Sergirée enough!

I'm a digital and film Wedding Photographer in Los Angeles, CA. I'm trilingual and multicultural -- and it's my favorite thing about me. 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 do not bend and sway with the trends of the current day, instead I focus on your unique wedding day to capture timeless imagery. As the moments unfold before me, I will help tell your story. 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

Let me start by saying that Reigna and Isaac are the DREAM TEAM. A couple of our friends hired The Jaramillo’s to capture their weddings and after we saw how amazing the photos turned out and how easy they were to work with, we knew we needed to do the same! Both Reigna and Isaac are extremely kind, enjoyable to work with, and truly gifted at their craft. Their friendly disposition made everyone in our wedding party feel comfortable right away! When you book with The Jaramillo’s, you’re getting far more than beautiful pictures; you are getting professionals who encourage you, truly care about all the details (regardless of how small), and command the room to get all the shots you want in a highly efficient manner. It was so amazing to get some preview pics the DAY AFTER as well. My husband and I could not be any happier with how our wedding photos turned out! And, our friends and family’s cannot stop talking about how obsessed they are with the photos. If you’re looking for professionalism, GORGEOUS photos, and genuinely caring individuals- look no further than The Jaramillo’s! Best vendor decision ever.

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.

She works in both digital and film mediums and her work has been featured in publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, Destination I Do and Brides.

Awarded Best of Zola
Since receiving our wedding photos from Jess, several of my friends and family members (including 2 professional photographers!) have asked me for her contact info because of how amazing her photos are!! When we started looking for a wedding photographer, we knew that we needed to find someone with a great eye for candids, who wouldn't make our pictures feel too staged, who had a fun/funky vibe like us, and who could handle wrangling my extremely large family (full of very opinionated people) for family photos, and Jess handled everything with ease! I feel so lucky that we found Jess, and I cannot recommend her more. Jess made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding day, and even gave guidance to family members who are normally awkward in photos (e.g. suggesting ways to pose to make them more comfortable). Jess went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, checking in with us, getting to know us, and even coming to a venue walkthrough so she could get a sense of the space! I am so grateful for all of the work Jess put into our wedding, and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I rarely even like photos of myself, but I honestly am so in love with the ones that Jess took that I jump on every opportunity to whip out my phone and share them with friends!

With over 24 years of experience behind the lens, Sam Sean Photography offers timeless, story-driven images that capture life’s most meaningful moments. Specializing in family portraits, weddings, and group photography, I’m passionate about creating natural, heartfelt images that reflect each client’s unique story.

Having worked in the events industry for over a decade, I engaged with dozens of photographers with varying styles and approaches. When it came to my wedding, I saw Sam's work and knew immediately that he was going to be able to deliver the aesthetic my husband and I wished for. What I didn't know until the day of, was that he was such a delight to work with. He made me and my bridesmaids feel beautiful, capturing natural and authentic moments. He was present without being intrusive, and he somehow captured *every* single shot perfectly. I had a standard shot list like most brides do, but as things began to happen organically - with my guests, the food, sunset, the bar, people starting to dance - Sam got it all on camera. My husband and I absolutely treasure our wedding photos and can confidently say that hiring Sam was one of the best decisions we made.

I’m Eddy, a Los Angeles wedding photographer who believes the best photos happen when people feel relaxed and are genuinely enjoying their day. I capture weddings as they really feel — the laughs, happy tears, and all the in-between moments — while helping couples feel comfortable in front of the camera. I also tend to become everyone’s compadre pretty quickly, helping guests loosen up so natural, joyful moments can be captured throughout the celebration.

We were so happy with Eddy’s photography and the way he captured our moment together. It’s not easy to get a natural smile out of my husband—let alone make him laugh—but Eddy somehow made it happen effortlessly. He captured his genuine smile and our connection so beautifully, in a setting that felt completely natural to us. Looking at the photos, you can truly feel the love and authenticity of that moment. We’re incredibly grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly.

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.

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.

I've been a wedding planner for over 10 years and let me just tell you- coming across someone as genuine, kind and talented as Tida doesn't come around everyday. She is a pure joy to work with. She is organized and on top of everything before the wedding and on the day of. And her work! Pure magic. I always look forward to getting galleries back from Tida. You will not regret hiring her!

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!!!
