Your wedding day is your most significant chapter, and it deserves to be captured with uncompromising care.

I focus on preserving the raw, unposed beauty of your day, ensuring you remain fully present to enjoy your once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

From our first conversation with Leah, we knew we had found our photographer. She was quick to respond to questions and made us feel heard throughout the entire planning process.

Her photos are detailed and professional, showing how invested she is in her clients. We cannot recommend Leah enough—she's an absolute gift to Santa Barbara, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin—ConneryFilm exceeded every expectation we had. From the first email to the final delivery of our wedding photos, everything was handled with so much care, professionalism, and heart. Connery has an incredible gift for turning real-life moments into cinematic memories. What really impressed us was how he paid attention to the little things—a subtle look, a soft smile, a quick laugh—things we didn’t even realize he had caught until we saw the final photos. And let me just say, the editing was flawless. The tones, the lighting, the composition... every image looked like it belonged in a magazine. Beyond the artistry, Connery was just amazing to work with—friendly, responsive, and calm under pressure. He made us feel comfortable and at ease and somehow made the whole experience feel effortless. If you’re lucky enough to book him, do it. You’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re investing in memories that will bring tears to your eyes for years to come. ConneryFilm is truly one of a kind.

Awarded Best of Zola
Eivan's photo and video services were very affordable and were a major reason why we went with them. I think the photos we received turned out very well and captured many of the amazing moments that we had at the wedding. The service we paid for only included one photographer and one videographer but they were both very attentive and made sure to be where the action was the entire day. Overall, the experience was positive and for a bride who was more focused on living through the experience of her wedding, Eivan's did a good job of handling the stuff you don't really want to think about.

Reagan Aleea Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Malibu, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I originally went to college for photography because I love art & I wanted to be challenged. I love creating things & capturing stories. I truly believe the best investment you can make is in your memories because lets be real, we forget things, even the things we try so hard to remember. Life goes on, other moments happen & memories fade. Photos are one of the few tangible things we can hold on to when we want to relive a special time, an emotion, a highlight of your life. With all that pressure, it’s important that you love them. I am an arist, you are my paint brush & your story is the final piece.

Reagan is amazing! She captured our engagement, bridals, and wedding day! She is so fun to work with, gives you exactly what you want, and the galleries capture every special moment beautifully!

Kinsey Wilder Photography

Malibu, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

Hi there! My name is Kinsey. I believe in living a life you love, which brought me to begin photographing people in the first place. I began my photography journey ten years ago, when I bought my first camera at 18. It never left my side, and I began photographing anything, everything - in love and obsessed with the idea of documenting the love and connection we share with each other, the intimate, in-between moments, and the things we communicate without speaking.

We worked with Kinsey from the start of our engagement to our wedding day and we cannot recommend her enough! Not only was the package we purchased (engagement session wedding day with a second shooter) inclusive and reasonably priced, but Kinsey herself was personable, easy to work with, kind and friendly. Moreover - THE PHOTOS! Kinsey's work is stunning. She managed to capture high-end work that also felt intimate and romantic. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you Kinsey!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Murtaza and the MKEShoots team for our 6-event Indian wedding, plus engagement shoot. His passion for the art was so infectious, especially since it was our first time doing professional photos. It took us some time to warm up to the camera, but once we did, well, the pictures really speak for themselves. Murtaza especially has an incredible eye for creative photo ideas, and he and the team made it so much fun even though we were stressed out with all the wedding drama. They scoped out noteworthy outdoor locations that made amazing backdrops, helped corral family members together for group photos, and just generally went above & beyond to make sure we had coverage of all the important moments - all the big things and the small details too. The photos we ended up with were beyond what I imagined, I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Now, I just need someone to help put the wedding album together.... :)

Randall de Leon Photography

  • Serves Malibu, CA

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
We’ve been lucky to know and work with Randall for a few years. When we finally decided to make things “official” we knew we wanted someone that does great work, that we trust, and would make us feel comfortable. We wanted our day to feel like a relaxed family event and Randall helped with that and so much more. He suggested possible locations that would meet our dream event and times to maximize the best lighting for the area. Once we settled on the location and date, he maintained excellent communication in preparation to the event to properly flesh out the day’s timetable, day of logistics, and post. On the day of our wedding he expertly directed us and our families, using the natural lighting to capture the perfect shots. We would have been lost without him, especially since no one knew how to assist with bustling my dress. During our dinner reception he seamlessly directed restaurant staff to assist in transitioning between meals/dessert/toast for more amazing shots. After the wedding he kept us updated on next steps for our pictures. Randall is truly a gem and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone special to capture their day.

  • Serves Malibu, CA

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.

Hobbyist coffee brewer, professional nap taker, and sucker for raw moments and authentic emotions. Dedicated to documenting the beautiful moments as they unfold. Based in Southern California & available worldwide.

From start to finish, Yin was so much more than just our photographer, he truly felt like a friend. From our engagement photos to our wedding day and everything in between, he was there every step of the way. He went above and beyond, from venue meetups to thoughtful location scouting, making us feel completely supported and at ease throughout the entire process. His co-shooter, Nika, was equally incredible—professional, kind, and such a calming presence on the day. Together, they made the entire experience feel effortless and fun, while still capturing every meaningful moment so beautifully. Honestly, Yin doesn’t even need reviews (his work speaks for itself) but we feel so grateful to have worked with someone so talented, genuine, and invested in telling our story. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to document such an important chapter of our lives.

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
Peter did a phenomenal job at capturing authentic, candid moments and balancing it with posed, formal photos. He is communicative and made us feel comfortable behind the camera. He is a great listener and executer on what style/aesthetic you want for your photos. We got our photos back quickly and they are all so beautiful and classic. We would use him again or recommend him to any of our friends.

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.

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.

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.

Tom did a beautiful job of capturing our wedding day. We had the pleasure of booking Tom early on, and got a great deal that included engagement photos! If I’m being totally honest… the price felt too good to be true! Most wedding photography is wildly expensive… but we were so happy to find Tom who provided a reasonable quote ! We were nervous that the quality might not be the best, after all, he’s on the cheaper end of the spectrum. But man….. what a total score for us. We got HIGH QUALITY service that would normally cost us thousands and thousands of dollars. My fiance and I were so impressed with the engagement photos, we could not wait to see what beautiful magic he would come up with on our wedding day. He did not disappoint… Tom delivered such beautifully captured moments that I still look at on the daily. His work speaks for itself. My husband and I feel like Tom was almost more helpful than our coordinator! He directed everyone when it came to photos, which is exactly what I needed ! I was able to relax the entire time because Tom took it upon himself to be in charge… cannot emphasize what that did for us. We just got to enjoy the moment. If you want to perfectly capture that one special day AND get an additional coordinator in the process, pick Tom. And quite frankly, it was a steal. Tom should be charging much much more. Get this… our photos were ready TWO DAYS LATER. No extra cost. The videographer, Christian, he brought on was also so very talented. When I watched the video back… I was in tears. Absolute cinema. Christian and Tom were so fun and kind, I really wanted them to stay longer, OFF the clock just as as our guests! Don’t think it over… I promise you will not regret hiring these two. Book them before they become unavailable!

The comments we’ve received have all been about how beautiful the wedding looked, how good everyone looked, and how gorgeous the photos were overall, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Zyaire met with us over Zoom twice before the actual wedding, and took every one of our concerns and questions seriously. He had a good answer to everything, and it convinced us that we were dealing with a consummate professional. We also asked him to shoot our welcome party for guests, and he was able to oblige with that, as well. We first met him in person for the welcome party, and he was already there when we arrived, getting background shots of the venue. This was something we hadn’t even considered, but it was really valuable - having shots of the venue, and the venue for our wedding, helped put the other photos in context for people who weren’t able to attend, and gave us mementos of the locations themselves.

I’m Adam—a Boston native who’s now roaming around California photographing everything I see. When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks. I got my first film camera when I was 8, and it was love at first sight. Capturing your story is more than just a job for me. From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

We’re so happy we chose Adam for our wedding photography! Our original photographer ghosted us a few months before the wedding, and finding a new one on short notice was stressful. But it worked out perfectly—Adam was even better than we could’ve imagined. He was kind, organized, and responsive, which was such a relief after our previous experience. From our first Zoom call, I knew he’d be great to work with. He made my husband and me feel so comfortable on the big day, and he and his assistant kept us laughing the whole time. We got our sneak peeks within a week, and they were incredible! We can’t wait for the full album. Highly recommend Adam for your wedding photography!
