Hey you! I’m Danielle Michelle! I am very passionate about not only delivering photos both bride and groom will adore but as well as friends and family for generations to come, Planning a wedding can be very stressful but working with your photographer should not be. I will be with you guys throughout the whole process making it as enjoyable as possible. I make sure every couple I work with feels beautiful and comfortable in front of the camera and leaves the experience feeling amazing. I would absolutely love to be part of your entire process from overall planning to execution of the day! Let’s chat about your big day and make some magic!

Danielle’s talent truly speaks for itself. You can see how stunning her work is on Instagram and her website, but working with her in person is even more special! She not only documented our wedding beautifully, she made the experience easy and enjoyable. Her calm, fun, and confident demeanor put us at ease and all of our wedding party and guests felt the same way. Danielle has such a gift for catching the little moments, like kids playing on the lawn, or a laugh at a table, even a cheers among friends, she and her assistant photographer Jenna captured it all. Looking through our photo gallery feels like reliving the day from start to finish, without missing a beat. The additional film photos were a major highlight, they added a timeless quality and perfectly matched the vibes we were going for. And with 150 guests, having two photographers was invaluable. From getting-ready shots for both the bridal party and groomsmen, to candid moments during speeches and cocktail hour, nothing was missed. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome, and we’re so grateful to Danielle for not only capturing our wedding, but elevating it with her craft. Thank you so much Danielle and Jenna, we loved having you as part of our day and are so grateful for our photos! All the best, K&S

Hi, I’m Kayla, proud mom of 3 beautiful girls and the owner of a Bay Area-based Photo Booth business, established in September 2024. My love for photos and capturing life’s most meaningful moments inspired me to create a service that helps others do the same. We proudly serve all of the Bay Area, with our home base in Martinez, CA. Every event we do is handled with care, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for making your day unforgettable.

I hired Kayla for a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend. It was an intimate kind of party. I spoke with everyone and they all really loved it. It was super easy to get our videos afterward. On a sad note, a couple days after the event one of our dear friends at the party passed and this was the last time they were photographed/video recorded. I know everyone in our group has been replaying the videos, holding on to those last memories and seeing him smiling and happy. It was more than just a 360 video but a time capsule for all of us. Kayla was super easy to work with and kind and on time. The contract process was extremely easy and straight forward. If you’re looking to make your event memorable… DO IT! You absolutely won’t regret it. I can’t recommend Kayla enough.

I’m a SF Bay Area photographer with almost seven years of experience capturing life’s quiet, beautiful moments, from the anticipation of maternity to the tenderness of newborn days and the joy of growing families. In the past year, I found myself drawn to something new: weddings. I began second shooting and quickly realized how much I loved being part of a couple’s most meaningful day. But it was the micro weddings and elopements that truly spoke to me .Intimate, intentional celebrations where every detail feels personal and every moment holds weight.

From the moment we first connected with By ASTERIA Weddings, their efficient, friendly, and detail-oriented communication style put us at ease. Their professional and organized presence on the day of our wedding allowed us to relax and truly enjoy each moment, confident that every special detail was being beautifully documented. The quality of their work was exceptional - the photos are aesthetic, elegant, and creatively captured, perfectly reflecting the joy and emotion of our day. The gallery was delivered promptly and organized perfectly, making it easy for us to relive every part of our wedding through their high-quality, timeless photos. We are thrilled with the work of By ASTERIA Weddings and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated photography team to capture their big day.

Vic was an AMAZING photographer for our wedding, we could not have possibly picked better. My entire family loved her, and she made them laugh so much- which was amazing considering some of us were nervous! She got to the venue and immediately had ideas for what shots to take, which helped me so much considering I hadn’t really planned what I wanted photos to look like. They came out amazingly. She captured every part of the evening, and the edits we got back are beautiful. I love the way the gallery is set up to make choosing photos easier and to ask for more later, or keep unedited versions too. Thanks to Vic I will have those special memories forever!

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

Brandon was an outstanding DJ who supported our wedding this last February. I loved that he had outfit options, as our wedding was themed "Love Through the Ages" and we requested all of our guests to wear attire from their favorite decade. It was fabulous that we were able to pick his super awesome outfit to stand out (and in theme) for the wedding. He curated the most amazing playlist, based on our theme, so we got to drift through music from the 20's, 30's, 40's, and all the way through to current day. He is such a charismatic and engaging host and was able to convince folks (who I never thought would have danced) to get onto the dance floor. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with Brandon's talents and feel so grateful that The Knot had him on their vendor list for us to find.

Weddings by Katherine Marchand

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Martinez, CA

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA. With over a decade of experience and features in Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to even begin! Investing in Katherine to do our wedding photos for our August 2021 wedding was the best decision we made, other than getting married! She had done a friends' wedding so I had started following her on instagram long before my husband and I got engaged. We were planning our wedding back west, and so we started looking at photographers back there but I just couldn't find anyone who measured up to Katherine. Listen--if you want "trendy" photos for instagram with lots of filters, orange skin tones, poses, etc--then Katherine isn't for you. But if you want photos that truly capture your day how it really was, then look no further. I spent years pouring over my parents' and grandparents' wedding albums wanting something that felt that classic and real. And real is exactly what Katherine does. She has this amazing ability to be everywhere and no where all at once. I have been in a lot of weddings, seen a lot of wedding albums, and I have never seen a photographer capture candids as well as she does--the photos feel like screenshots from a movie where we look happy and fabulous all of the time! She truly has a photojournalistic approach. She caught every teary hug, hand squeeze, and glance from across the room. And her ability to make every type of light work to her advantage (harsh mid-day, dark dance floor, etc) is truly incredible. And don't worry--she will also get all of those family photos that your parents want and do it in a painless, seamless way! While we were initially hesitant about the cost of hiring a photographer from NYC to shoot a wedding back west, her prices are MORE than fair for what you are getting! She even did a mini shoot with us the night before to get us comfortable in front of the camera and they are some of my favorite photos from the weekend. Also--she made everyone feel so relaxed and comfortable the day of. My bridesmaids were obsessed with her (I mean how could you not be? She shows up in a gucci suit with effortless cool girl energy and is like "let's do this!"), she managed wrangling our very large wedding party with ease and even got my grandma to smile in photos which is a big deal! We woke up the next day to about 15 sneak peak photos from the night before, and had our entire wedding album in 6 weeks! The hardest part is choosing which photos to print! There are just too many that we love. TLDR: Hire this girl, she is smart as a whip, reliable, talented, and a consummate professional!

Richard was helpful and respectful throughout our entire wedding planning process. He worked flawlessly with me, my partner, and our wedding planner to pull off an incredibly fun reception. Richard did an initial call with my partner to discuss the general vibe we were looking for, and we knew immediately he would be a great fit for our wedding. Richard gave us a helpful questionnaire to fill out key songs and general musical interests (and do not play songs). Richard was also happy to jump on calls with us to talk through our questions and hopes for our big day. I especially appreciated that Richard was able to play some German songs for some guests who had flown in from Germany, as that got even some of our older relatives on the dance floor. People were partying all night thanks to Richard! Richard catered to our wide age range of guests, and even gave us a couple of bonus closing songs that were the perfect conclusion to the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

I’ve helped countless couples create their ideal wedding film for over 10 years. My goal is to capture lasting memories through beautiful, personalized wedding films. From first consultation, to finished film, I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Colin was probably one of the easiest vendors to work with. We chatted on the phone to get to know him, sent him our deposit and that was that! We talked a bit leading up to the wedding, but he and my photographer communicated to get on the same page/ timeline so I didn’t have to stress much about that either. The day of, him and his team were wonderful all day. They themselves were professional, and all his gear was as well. One of the things I appreciated most about Colin was his ability to be everywhere to get footage, but he was secretive about it, so those that are shy on camera didn’t feel pressured. My videos I got were AMAZING. I don’t know how many times we have watched the videos together or how many I’ve watched it alone but, every time feels like the first. It’s beautiful work and truly captured our wedding day and our personalities. We also got raw footage from him that had us cackling. It’s awesome seeing the day again through both the finished product and the raw footage. Thank you Colin for everything. I highly recommend Colin to everyone!!

My husband and I were engaged in October 2023 and began looking at wedding venues the month after. We then finalized our booking with Redwood Canyon in January 2024 to give ourselves ample time for planning and financing for our big day on May 26th, 2025. Since we live on the East Coast and majority of our families reside in the Bay Area, we wanted to find a venue that could provide an all-inclusive package and bring our vision to reality - and Redwood Canyon checked all of those boxes... even going above and beyond. We are very happy with the entire process that led up to our special day and the outcome of our wedding. *1 year prior to the wedding* They kept us updated with some of the renovations they were making at the time. When we wanted to do a physical tour in June 2024, they fitted us into the schedule and showed us the actual colors of table cloths, napkins, lighting, etc. *8 months prior to the wedding* The wedding team sent us an invitation to the Fall Wedding Extravaganza Fair for late October 2024. We unfortunately couldn't make it, but they accommodated us by including our friend couple residing in the Bay Area to take over our place. Our friend couple FaceTimed us during the entire event to make us feel like we were there! They commented how it was nice to try out all the food options they had in the package to know what foods the couple would like to finalize for their wedding day. They also enjoyed the fun activities the DJ curated - there were two opportunities to win a prize from those activities. *5 months prior to the wedding* This was a two-hour call with the wedding team to go over our vision and details. I forgot the name of the person assisting us, but she was very patient and fun to talk with! She reassured us that if there were changes we'd like to make over the next few months, they'd be happy to accommodate. A few months later, vendors contacted us to further discuss additional details - officiant, cake, DJ, and florist. *1 week prior to the wedding* We had Jacoby as our amazing wedding coordinator and Ana to assist on our special day. They reviewed and confirmed details as well as what to expect on our Rehearsal Day, which was a day prior to our wedding. We loved their positive attitudes and professionalism throughout the process! *Wedding Day* Despite how fast and chaotic it felt, we truly appreciate Jacoby and Ana for keeping us on the right pace, consistently checking in with us, and making sure we were happy and comfortable throughout the day. If there was something I, my husband, our wedding party, and family needed, they were quick to provide it. They also knew where to put our decor and took some behind-the-scenes photos to share with us after our wedding. We had our photographer, Hayden from A Perfect Impression, who suggested all the right poses, shots, angles, and places to take our photos. Our DJ, Saul, was very accommodating with a song request and some changes that we communicated through email and text - the vibe of the ceremony and reception was perfect. The food was fantastic, the photobooth provided high-quality images that we could receive through a texted link. *Overall* If we could rate it more than 5 stars, we totally would! We are truly happy that we chose Redwood Canyon for our wedding - an amazing and friendly team with a beautiful venue that accommodated 80 of our guests!

The quality of their work was very good, and they were extremely organized in coordinating the setup and execution of the decor on our wedding day. Their team worked seamlessly together to ensure everything looked beautiful. I highly recommend Alba Decorations to any couples planning their wedding.

Sam is so amazing! I have worked with her twice now and both times she has totally blown me away with her skills and made me feel the most beautiful version of myself. She is a master at the natural makeup look that lets your natural skin and look shine through but enhances your features in the best way. My looks also last full long days without a single thing out of place. Not only is she skilled in makeup but also hair. I have lot of hair and she always knows what’s best to do with and make it look best to enhance the makeup. The best part is everyone loved both looks and i have never gotten so many compliments in my life. Everyone was shocked at how natural and glowly I looked. Sam is so kind and so much fun to work with and I would recommend her to EVERYONE!!

We are so happy we went with Chabot Space and Science Center for our wedding. We wanted something unique that also aligned with our interests -- our background in physics, astronomy, and space. The staff at Chabot are incredibly kind and were quick to respond to our emails and questions. The space was incredibly expansive and unique for our guests. The planetarium ceremony was our favorite part, and we will treasure those memories forever. As an educator myself, I fully appreciate that Chabot is a non-profit organization and that my deposit/rental fee goes back to the community and staff. Thank you again for making our day so special!

Party Ardi is someone who does it all! He was an excellent MC & he truly helped us plan our program out. We had no idea what we wanted as far as a “program,” but he didn’t hesitate to help us create a nice little timeline for our reception! Ardi also took the time to meet with us Via zoom prior to the wedding, to plan out the timeline & also discuss music of course! He provided all the vibes & played us exactly what we wanted. Our guests LOVED the old r&b love songs during dinner, I loved seeing everyone’s faces when he’d play certain songs! The custom light add-ons are definitely worth it too! I highly recommend booking with Party Ardi- not just because he’s our friend, but because he’s simply the best all around!! Thank you for everything :)
