Indigo West 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Montrose, CA

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.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Tom Keene of LA Digital Photo photograph our wedding at the California Club in Los Angeles. He stepped in on very short notice, yet somehow still managed to exceed every expectation we had. From the moment he arrived, Tom brought a calm, professional, and joyful presence to the day. He guided us through poses effortlessly, was impressively efficient with our (very large and lively!) family group photos, and managed to capture the energy and emotion of the entire afternoon so beautifully. Everything felt seamless and stress-free in his hands—something every couple hopes for on their wedding day. One of the most special moments of the day was a quiet conversation we shared with Tom on the patio before dinner. That simple, grounding exchange stood out to us—and the photo he took in that moment is one we’ll definitely be framing. It was such a meaningful pause amid the excitement, and his warmth made it even more memorable. And then there were the sneak peek photos—delivered that same night! We were blown away by how stunning they turned out. If those were just the previews, we can't wait to see the full gallery. Tom went above and beyond in every way, and we’re genuinely so grateful he was a part of such an important day in our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and truly thoughtful wedding photographer. —Sienna & Stephen

A little back story. My fiance at the time had a bad falling out with a photography company. They were not willing to perform the services how we requested and so with almost 3 weeks until the wedding I was lost. My fiance at the time had a friend who had recently got married and reached out to him for the contact info. Insert A + M Badillo. They were AMAZING from the start! Wonderful communication and helped put my anxiety to ease with their work. Fast forward to the day of the wedding and they were spot on! Made me feel comfortable throughout the entire time and took some amazing shots! I could not be happier! Now that we have recieved our photos back, people are raving about them, asking when I will send them the link so they can make copies! When we got our thumbdrive, our expectations flew through the roof yet again! They went above and beyond with a personal box with our last name burned into it and some gifts along with the thumb drive. They do not do the minimum at all and work together as the perfect pair when capturing your big day! 1000% recommend them and will refer anyone and everyone who needs a photographer to them! We will for sure be reaching out on our year anniversary to capture more moments with them!

Carmen did such an amazing job capturing our wedding back in July. As soon as we got engaged in 2019, we knew we wanted Carmen to do our photos. She did both our engagement and wedding shoot: Her work is so professional and so dreamy! And on top of that—she’s super fun and makes awkward people (like us) look so good! Our wedding was outdoors at Saddlerock Ranch, Malibu and had about 250 guests. Carmen and her team were so attentive, helpful, and made everything run smoothly! Carmen was my unofficial bridesmaid that day and anything that I needed, she was there. I know this review is only from my stand point of view, but everyone that I shared these photos with were in complete awe of how beautiful they turned out. We will definitely be reaching out to Carmen for future celebrations!

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

It was a delight to work with Stephen for our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with the photos from both our Hindu ceremony as well as our western wedding. He was flexible enough to work beyond the original number of hours on a hot Malibu day for our Hindu wedding. He sourced a great second photographer to cover all the moments in our western wedding. The pictures are mesmerizing. He really listened to what we wanted and lent his talent to provide us with terrific and special images. He captured so many candid pictures of our family and friends and it has given us a lot of joy to look at them. Stephen was professional, considerate and wonderful to work with. And his pictures show that he is a true artist! Look forward to working with him again!

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Gabbie for both our engagement photos as well as our day-of wedding photos. 12/10 recommend working with her for both. We had such a fun time working with Gabbie and the photos turned out amazing. She went out of her way to get to know us as a couple during our engagement photo session, and you can tell she kept it all in mind on the day of our wedding. She worked hard to make sure all the special moments were captured, both portraits and candids that we had requested.

Jess Onesto is an absolute dream to work with! If you are looking for a wedding photographer who will make you feel completely comfortable and capture the most beautiful, authentic moments, look no further. My husband and I have always felt awkward when we have to pose for professional photos. Jess completely changed that experience for us. She seriously made me feel like I was a model throughout my entire wedding weekend. 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)! Every single shot is stunning, and our entire family has been raving about them non-stop. Throughout the wedding weekend, we received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved Jess and her warm presence. She truly became part of our celebration. Honestly, I am already thinking of excuses to hire Jess again for family photos because working with her was such a wonderful experience. I truly cannot recommend her more highly!

My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

From the very beginning, he included us in the brainstorming and design process to make sure he captured the moments that were important to us throughout our wedding day. He was always very prompt and professional, quickly responding to emails and messages. On our wedding day itself, he did such an incredible job floating throughout the wedding and reception, capturing so many different moments while seamlessly being part of the celebration and party. When we reviewed the photos afterwards, we were blown away by how even in every photograph, he was able to capture so much of the magic and joy of the day itself! His editing was top notch, and he did an excellent job augmentingthe beauty of each moment. Every photo was incredibly evocative, and looking through his photos now brings us back to that special day. He was instrumental in memorializing such a beautiful night of celebration, and we cannot recommend his services enough!

Hello! My name is Brenda and I've resided in SoCal all of my life. Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

Capturing weddings with a documentary heart and an editorial touch, focusing on real moments as they naturally unfold. My approach is rooted in genuine connection because I believe the strongest images come from trust and authenticity. I take the time to get to know you so your photos and films feel like you—honest, effortless, and true to your story. On a day filled with emotion, celebration, and unforgettable moments, I’m there to make it feel easy, comfortable, and beautifully captured.

I wish there were an option to give Hugo & Kat 1,000 stars! Truly, Hugo and Parker (Hugo's second shooter) saved our wedding. For context, 4 days before our wedding, our original photographer canceled on us due to her uncle's death with no notice. We totally understood but knew we needed to find someone we trusted right away. I remember I had reached out to Hugo & Kat before I had hired our original photographer (and loved them) but had chosen to go with the other photographer (mostly based on a number of Instagram followers), which, in hindsight, was a mistake. 4 days before our wedding I called Hugo, and he was fortunately available and we got booked right away. Not only was his pricing way more affordable, but he also included a second shooter! The LA fires hit (my family lives in LA) our wedding week was wild, to say the least, but we got down to San Diego for the big day. I had never met Hugo & Parker (Kat was very ill) and didn't know what to expect. As someone who doesn't love having their photo taken, I was a little nervous, but Hugo & Parker put me, my husband, and our guests right at ease. They were so fun, interactive, professional, and efficient, and they really brought the energy! They felt like a part of the family, totally integrated into the day, capturing every tiny moment. It was seamless, easy, and so fun to work with them. We had a perfect wedding day, so much of that is owed to Hugo & Paker. When I got the sneak peeks back (24 hours after the wedding!!!) I SOBBED! I had never seen such beautiful photos. I felt so pretty, and we looked so happy. These were truly the pictures of my bridal Pinterest dreams! I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews, but I knew I needed to let all SO CAL brides know that Hugo & Kat are the BEST wedding photographers out there. I don't have a single critique. I'm just so immensely grateful for their willing hearts and positive energy and the photos that I will cherish forever. You best bet that the second I'm pregnant I will be flying back to LA to schedule a maternity shoot, haha! Book Hugo & Kat, I promise you, you will be so grateful you did!
