I’m Mary, California film wedding photographer.

“OMG—where do I even begin?! Mary is truly incredible. The sneak peek alone had us in tears (happy ones!). It was better than anything I could have imagined. She captured every emotion, every little detail, and the overall vibe of our wedding perfectly. My husband and I were absolutely glowing looking through them—we felt the joy from that day all over again. She used both film and digital photographer to capture the magic! Not only is she insanely talented behind the lens, but she’s also the sweetest human ever. It’s so clear how much love she puts into her work. She made us feel so comfortable, natural, and genuinely seen on our big day. If you’re thinking about booking her, do it now. I’m so grateful she was part of our day. Thank you, Mary!!”

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.

“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 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
“If you are looking for a photographer in San Diego, look no further than Daniel. We first worked with him for our engagement photos and knew immediately we had to book him for our wedding. Daniel is incredibly friendly and professional, but what we loved most was his eye for candid moments. He captured the true essence of our day and all the little things that made it special. We are completely in love with our photos! One of the highlights was his film photography option—the care package he sent with the negatives, prints, and a handwritten card was such a beautiful, personal touch. It’s clear he truly cares about his clients. Working with him was an amazing experience from start to finish, and being able to book our videographer through him made the entire process seamless. If you are in the Southern California area, you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much, Daniel, for giving us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.”

On the day of the wedding, they put us at ease with their clear directions and attentive, caring approach. We were a bit anxious about taking professional photos, but they made us feel safe and comfortable.

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.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From start to finish, they were professional, kind, and so easy to work with. During the wedding planning, when outreaching to vendors it got overwhelming as it was so difficult to find pricing, bundles, etc. without setting up an official call. Teddy caught our eye right away with his clear bundle breakdown and we saw what we needed right away that was within our budget. It didn’t take long for us to reach out and secure him. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and somehow managed to capture all of the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Our wedding was in July, in Vegas, and the ceremony was outdoors. Special props to Teddy for standing in the heat with us! Despite the hot weather, every photo turned out absolutely beautiful, and they captured the emotions, excitement, and fun of our wedding day perfectly. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the entire day all over again! Brides, Grooms, wedding planning is stressful with the quotes, the comparing, the thinking, etc. Hire a photographer, it’s worth it, hire Teddy, you hit the jackpot (especially if you don’t really know how to post properly for photos like me. His ideas were amazing. He was even able to capture a photo with a bird flying by.”

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.”

“I have known Jordan for a while as an event photographer and wasn't sure if he did grad pictures, especially for groups. I was pleased to figure out that he does grad photos too and is extremely flexible about it! I had a group of around 11 people, and he was able to give me quick responses about the rate, which was an absolute deal. Jordan really cares for his clients and makes sure that everything is discussed before the event, including an itinerary. He was extremely flexible if we needed an extra hour and potential location itinerary changes. Coordinating 11 people for a photo shoot is not easy, but Jordan managed to do it with ease, attention to detail, and efficiency! Thanks to his expertise and creativity with poses and shots, we got some amazing solo and group shots that we will remember for a lifetime. He magically makes the experience very efficient, but is also not afraid to have fun! Highly recommend!”

“Working with Remo was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We first did an engagement shoot with him, and we were so blown away by his professionalism, creativity, and talent that hiring him for our wedding was an easy choice. From the very beginning, Remo was incredibly punctual, organized, and easy to communicate with. He is also just an extremely nice and easy-going person, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. He helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and that comfort shows in every photo. On our wedding day, Remo exceeded every expectation. His eye for detail, artistic vision, and ability to capture both the big emotional moments and the quiet in-between moments made our photos truly unforgettable. He worked seamlessly throughout the day, always present but never intrusive, and kept everything running smoothly. The final galleries from both our engagement shoot and our wedding were absolutely stunning! Beautifully edited, timeless, and felt true to us as a couple. We would hire him again and again without hesitation. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, and genuinely wonderful to be around, Remo is the one.

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)!

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.

“I met Eddy at an event, and our interaction immediately stood out. He has an exceptional blend of professionalism and warmth, paired with impressive equipment and a truly generous spirit with his time. What could have been a quick photo turned into such an enjoyable and confidence-boosting experience. He didn’t just snap a picture and move on — he showed me the images, guided me through multiple poses and lighting options, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. He captured our enthusiasm and personalities perfectly. It was genuinely one of the best professional photography experiences I’ve had. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and I sincerely hope (hope x10!) we have the opportunity to collaborate again in the future.”

Los Angeles, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • 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!!”

“I hired Lisa as our wedding photographer and couldn’t be happier with the decision. I’m a bit camera shy, but Lisa made the entire experience so comfortable and effortless! She has an incredible way of making you feel at ease while also capturing the most stunning shots. Not only is she super professional, but she’s also so friendly and great with everyone—our family and guests loved her! And the final photos? Absolutely phenomenal! Every shot was beautifully captured, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and professional wedding photographer!”

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

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.

“Fitz Carlile is a master of light, and can make virtually any setting look like the most romantic place in the world. He immediately puts you at ease. We had to scrap our original wedding plans due to COVID-19, but Fitz remained a willing and enthusiastic participant through it all. Our recommendation to couples trying to plan weddings in this crazy time we've all found ourselves in? Go small. Don't cancel. And your photographer should be your number 1 priority. Photographs are the only concrete thing you'll own to remember your special day, and you will not be disappointed with Fitz. He's a true storyteller and his photos are magic.”

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.

“Tida shot our engagement and our Palm Springs wedding at Korakia Pensione! I absolutely adore her! My husband and I were somewhat nervous about the process and worried that it would be awkward...it proved to be anything but. Tida put us both at ease and had us laughing and relaxed out of the gate. So many people commented on how genuinely happy we looked in our photos and honestly it had a lot to do with Tida making us laugh with each other. The photos turned out beautifully, her aesthetic is very natural, never staged, and I really appreciate how much care she put into all the editing. Everyone comments on how great our photos are. She really loves what she does. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
