Grace Kathryn Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Montecito, CA

I'm a California native with a wanderlusting soul. I grew up in the snowy mountains of Lake Tahoe and spent my teenage years in the rainforests of Costa Rica before returning to the West Coast of the United States to study the art of wedding photography and earn my BFA with Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California.

From start to finish, Grace was a calming, warm presence - the whole time we worked with her I felt like we were in excellent hands. She gently directed us without being "posed" or pushy. No notes. Like any engaged person, I felt some anxiety about photos since that's the thing that you get to actually "keep" after your big day. When I tell you, not only do we look like freaking movie stars in all Grace's photos, she PERFECTLY captured the EMOTION of the moment. If you didn't know better, you would think our wedding pictures were a People Magazine Exclusive or something. Just as valuable as the photos themselves was Grace's kind attitude and willingness to work with us on what we needed. It ended up raining on our courthouse day and she not only rolled with it, but got INCREDIBLE photos to boot! Long story short: HIRE GRACE!

Leslie Joy Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Montecito, CA

With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, I believe your wedding day deserves to be remembered as more than a collection of moments — it should feel like a rich story, with visceral emotions coursing through each scene. As a former wedding planner turned photographer, I document each chapter with an editorial eye and a genuine heart. My approach is guided by light and emotion, both intentional and effortless. Every image is composed with purpose, full of honesty and elegance, and alive with feeling. Your story is already extraordinary. My work ensures it’s remembered that way — beautifully, and forever.

Leslie was one of the preferred vendors for our wedding venue, Wedgewood Sterling Hills, and the minute I saw her online portfolio I knew I wanted her for our wedding. Now I have beautiful photos and she’s my friend for life, so it was a win-win for me. She was extremely thorough, asking important questions about myself and my husband, to ensure that she understood US as people. I felt heard and listened to every step of the way. I remember very early in our first call I mentioned that my husband makes me ALWAYS makes me laugh with small quick quiet quips. My favorite picture from our wedding is a stolen moment from our photo hour where we’re taking a break and he’s making me laugh. I love that picture. Lastly, DO THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION. Our engagement session was SO fun. Leslie gives incredible direction, she taught us how to pose, and made us feel very supported and comfortable prior to our wedding. If I saw someone else with my engagement photos I’d be so envious of how effortless they seem (so I’m glad they’re mine).

Lerina Winter Photo 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,750
  • Serves Montecito, CA

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

Lerina was so easy to work with from the start! She quickly responded to our inquiry, and in our call, it was easy to decide that she was the wedding photographer we wanted to work with. We already knew that we loved her aesthetic. So when communication and logistics were easy, we were confident about working with her. Our wedding was scheduled for June 2020. We were really bummed about significantly downsizing to a small wedding in the last minute, but vendors like Lerina made the day so incredibly special. Lerina flew across the country to South Carolina to capture our small wedding. One year later, she and her assistant, Danny, flew out again to shoot our larger one-year anniversary renewal of vows. Throughout all the uncertainty, Lerina was easy to communicate with and incredibly reasonable with adapting the contract and rescheduling amidst the unprecedented circumstances. In retrospect, we were so blessed to get to know Lerina and Danny as well as we did because of the extended time of working together. They hold special places in our hearts and working with them was like working with dear, fun friends. They even accepted our invitation to our Low Country Boil rehearsal dinner and were wonderful with engaging our 2-year-old niece during photographing. We had such a blast together. Lerina helped us to feel natural in our photos and her images captured the love, joy, and beauty that filled our celebrations.

I'm so happy you're here! My name is Lena and I'm all about the "spices of life" thanks to my strong Scandinavian roots. My studio started and currently resides in the fields of the Santa Ynez Valley, and spans to the beautiful landscapes, architecture, and vibrant vibes of Santa Barbara County.

What can we possibly say about Lena? She was the perfect addition to our wedding day. Her communication and flexibility during the preceding year kept our minds at ease (anything you don't have to stress about while planning a wedding is a win). On the day, she was such a positive presence to have around. And from what we've seen of the photos so far, we couldn't have possibly had anyone better. Thank you so much, Lena!!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

We’re Apollo Fotografie. When it comes to visual storytelling, we don’t miss a beat. We prioritize organization, punctuality, and beauty so your wedding day looks better than your dreams. At Apollo, inclusivity is one of our core values, and our couples come from all backgrounds. We know that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, and we’re here to help. All of our photographers use prompts and suggestions to encourage natural interactions for a less “scripted” feel.

We highly recommend Apollo Fotografie if you're looking for a Bay Area wedding photographer and videographer! In fact, we chose Apollo because we were so in love with the wedding photos they took for another couple at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. From our very first inquiry to our big day, Liv was thorough, detail-oriented, and always made us feel taken care of. The email follow-ups and timeline reminders were impeccable! Our wedding photos and video are stunning!!! It's such a wonderful way to relive the memories. We're so grateful for Carrie and Jas (our wedding photographers) and Terrence (videographer) for capturing our special day. Everyone showed up on time and was professional. Carrie was very thoughtful in capturing the exact angles I had shared with her in my vision document, and Jas did a phenomenal job on our tea ceremony and getting-ready photos. Terrence captured an incredible drone shot of the Palace of Fine Arts, which was shared in the beginning of our wedding video. We love all the candid shots from our ceremony, reception and dance floor! Thank you Apollo Fotografie for making our wedding memories truly unforgettable!

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

From the moment we booked Fox & Fig Photography for our wedding, their communication was phenomenal and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Their work is simply gorgeous - exactly the style we were looking for to capture our special day. On the wedding day, they made both my husband and I feel at ease, even though we are a bit awkward in front of the camera. They provided excellent guidance on posing and helped us look our best. Fox & Fig was incredibly supportive and patient with us as a nervous couple. We are thrilled with the sneak peeks of our photos and can’t wait for the whole product! I can NOT recommend Fox & Fig enough.

Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming professional in 2017, my journey has taken me across the United States and around the world, where I've had the privilege of serving more than 200 couples on their special day.

(Anh Vinh and Steven's beautiful wife, Connie, who was also an MC on my wedding day, was not just an MC but a true master of ceremonies, a guiding light ensuring our event was nothing short of magical.) Steven's talent and passion for photography were unmistakable from the moment we met. His skill behind the lens is remarkable. Every photo captured the essence of our day in the most breathtaking way possible. From the smallest details to the grandest moments, Steven had an impeccable eye for framing the perfect shot. The images are not just pictures; they are cherished memories frozen in time, each one telling a beautiful story of our wedding day. What sets Steven apart is his talent, genuine care, and kindness. Throughout the entire process, he was not just a photographer but a supportive presence, ensuring everything went smoothly. His warmth and understanding made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in such natural and stunning photos. We cannot emphasize enough how much we adore our wedding photos. Each time we go through the pictures, we're transported back to that magical day, reliving every emotion and moment. It's a testament to Steven's remarkable ability to capture not just images but emotions, too. If you're searching for a wedding photographer or an MC, Steven and his team are an excellent choice. Their talent, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them stand out in the industry. Connie, Steven's wife, is a talented MC who brings warmth and support to your event. She made our celebration unforgettable, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional MC.

Hi, it’s Sade! The whole reason I’m a photographer is for the ability to take people on adventures and create experiences you will actually remember—not just poses you performed. Let’s not be fooled: being behind the camera can be… uncomfortable. (Trust me, I just got married myself, so I KNOW that 'what do I do with my hands?' panic!). That’s why it will be all about making your day feel spontaneous and tailoring every second to fit exactly who you two are.

Sadie was a 10/10 find. She does amazing work, her editing is beautiful and soft, she makes you feel comfortable while taking the pictures, helps pose us, she even helped us find where we took our engagements. I was feeling really overwhelmed with where to go and she gave us some options which made it much easier to choose. Sadie is quick to respond, and her turn around time is great! I’m so happy we used her and would highly recommend her to a friend (or a stranger!)

We began our business in Scottsdale, in 2009 and in that time we have worked with hundreds of amazing couples. We had a poor experience with our own wedding photography and it was devastating - it was then that we knew that we needed to enhance the options available to couples like you! Our passion for our work goes beyond a love for photography and an eye for the details because the most precious thing we could ask for is to be part of two peoples special day. When you are involved in someone’s wedding you get to know them, their families, why they love one another, and that bond is important to us every single time.

We’re so glad we chose Lovelee Photography for our wedding. From the start, everything felt easy and well organized, which took a lot of stress off our plates. Travis was always quick to respond and genuinely cared about understanding what was important to us. He helped us put together a realistic timeline, gave helpful advice about lighting and locations around Phoenix, and made sure we felt comfortable and prepared instead of rushed or overwhelmed. On the wedding day, he was calm and confident, which honestly made a big difference. Family photos were handled efficiently without feeling stiff, portraits felt natural, and he captured so many moments we didn’t even realize were happening. It allowed us to stay present and actually enjoy the day. When we got our gallery back, we were really impressed by how consistent and thoughtful the photos were. The images feel timeless and emotional without being overly posed, and the attention to detail shows throughout. We’re also including photos from our wedding with this review because they really speak for themselves. If you want a photographer who’s professional, easy to work with, and genuinely talented, we highly recommend Lovelee Photography.

Before hiring a wedding photographer, we were a bit hesitant—I’ve always been the one behind the camera, so being in front of it felt unnatural. My husband also isn’t a big fan of photos and was convinced he wouldn’t look good in them. But from the very beginning, Violet made everything so easy! Communication with her throughout the entire process was seamless. She was always responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in getting to know us. We especially loved that she used the engagement session to connect with us, which made the wedding day so much less stressful and so much more fun! We felt completely at ease, and it truly showed in the photos. Not only did we love our experience, but our bridesmaids and groomsmen also had amazing things to say about working with Violet! She made everyone feel comfortable and captured such natural, beautiful moments. And the best part? My mom said this is the most beautiful she’s ever seen herself! That alone speaks volumes about Violet’s talent and ability to make everyone feel their absolute best. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes the process stress-free, enjoyable, and delivers breathtaking photos, look no further. Thank you, Violet, for capturing memories we’ll cherish forever!

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day ! We are so excited to share these photos with our loved ones for generations to come.
