I'm Nancy, photographer and creative behind Easton Studios. Fourteen years in and I'm even more obsessed than when I started. Simply put: I create badass photos, keep the process quick and efficient, and get you back to your guests ASAP.

“Nancy is an incredibly talented photographer and an even more amazing person to work with! From the moment we first spoke with her during our consultation, she inspired so much confidence in us with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine excitement for capturing our story. She made us feel so welcomed and at ease, which carried through to our engagement shoot and, ultimately, our wedding day. Nancy is not only a true artist behind the camera but also someone who genuinely listens to your dreams and brings them to life. She was eager to incorporate every wedding shot our hearts and souls desired, and the results were beyond anything we could have imagined. She went above and beyond, exceeding every expectation and leaving us with photos we will treasure forever. I’ve been raving to my friends and family about Nancy’s talent ever since the wedding! Her ability to capture both the raw emotion and little details of the day is unmatched, and she makes the entire process so joyful and stress-free. If you’re looking for a photographer who is easy to be around, makes you feel comfortable and confident, and creates stunning work, Nancy is "THE ONE". We are so grateful for her and will cherish her photos for a lifetime!”

Welcome to Alex & Jana Photography! We're a husband-and-wife led wedding photography team serving all of Southern California. We approach every wedding with a documentary style rooted in candid moments. We're all about creating an environment where you feel relaxed and free to just be yourselves in front of the camera. The goal is always photos that feel like an authentic reflection of who you are and the day you shared.

“I cannot recommend Alex and Jana Photography enough. We worked closely with Alex, who is incredibly professional, communicative, and really put us at ease through the whole process. On our wedding day, Alex and Toby made us feel so calm and my husband and I ended up having such a blast taking photos (which was a surprise to us both, since we are not normally comfortable at all in front of the camera). We just got our sneak peaks back after less than two weeks after the wedding, and are absolutely blown away by the shots that they captured. Truly could not have picked a better photographer for our big day!!”

LOVE by Sergirée

  • Serves Mountain Center, 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.

“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!”

We are Emry Photography, A husband & wife photography team turned photo+cinema collective. We have a knack for turning strangers into friends & we love a good party. We work with the best couples in the world, telling love stories truthfully & without boundaries. We show up when you ask us to & don't leave until your story is told. We may take you off roading or steal you a few minutes for sunset, because we aren't satisfied until we know something couldn't be done any better. Our work is characterized by light, color and story through unguarded moments. We can't wait to tell your story.

“I've had the pleasure of working with Emry as a wedding coordinator for years. Behind the scenes, they are AMAZING to work with. They always have the client's best interest in mind, they're flexible with changes, they stay on time with photos (which sadly, is rare these days!), and they go above and beyond to help make the wedding day go smoothly. That's why when I got engaged, they were one of the first people I texted. I knew I’d be able to relax and enjoy the day with Emily and Ryan there, and they exceeded every expectation. They are incredibly organized, supportive from start to finish, and the photos speak for themselves... absolutely beautiful. Their entire team has such a creative eye for detail, and they make everything feel effortless. If you’re not used to being in front of a camera, they guide you every step of the way, from how to stand, where to put your hands, and even making sure family photos look cohesive (no sunglasses, no phones in pockets, etc.). My husband also had a dream picture he wanted taken with his motorcycle, and the dedication they put into getting the perfect shot is unmatched haha I can’t express how grateful I am to the Emry team. They played such a huge role in making our day feel seamless, and I’m beyond thankful they were a part of it.”

“Danya was an amazing photographer to work with for our wedding day! From our very first interaction, her communication style was clear, responsive, receptive, and kind. The quality of her work was truly professional, with beautiful, timeless, and clean photos that captured all the special moments of our day! Danya did an excellent job of balancing candid shots with well-staged posed photos, like of our family, etc. She also had a great talent for helping both of us pose in natural and comfortable ways, which was especially helpful since neither of us are regulars in front of the camera. We couldn't be happier with the final photos and the amazing service Danya provided throughout the entire process. She also provided photos to us in a timely turnaround. Highly recommend her to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding photographer!”

Whether your celebration is an intimate gathering or a grand event, I focus on telling your story in a way that feels genuine and effortless.

My husband and I are both very awkward in front of the camera but she did an amazing job guiding us through different poses and capturing flattering angles.

He knew we wanted to capture the fun/touching moments of our day and he did just that. Additionally, our engagement photos were so beautiful too!

WE ARE KATIE & DEVIN. We're in love & we shoot other people in love. It's hard to call just one place home. We're born and raised in Wisconsin, but there are pieces of our hearts in both Colorado and California, the two places where we have traveled the most together. We specialize in couples who are madly in love and who have a sense of humor. We prefer to tell your story, rather than make another generic love story. We want to capture raw emotions. We want you to giggle and we want you to dance.

“Couldn’t recommend Katie + Devin DeGroot enough. My fiance (now husband) surprised me and found Katie to shoot our surprise engagement and the photos captured how we were feeling and the excitement of our whole family. She was so professional (and hid in plain site so well!), we knew it was a no-brainer to ask her to shoot our engagement + wedding. We aren’t used to having our photo taken but Katie made us feel comfortable and went with the flow, even when our dog was being crazy :) Leading up to the wedding, the communication from the DeGroot team was clear and friendly. The online portal was easy to navigate with our invoices, contracts, and even Questionnaires that allowed us to organize which photos we wanted / where, etc. Due to COVID, we had to adjust our wedding twice: once with moving the date and once with the location to an entirely different city. I was fearful to tell our vendors but Katie couldn't have handled the switch any better than she did. This put us at ease and gave us one less thing to worry about. She worked with our Wedding Coordinator to finalize details, times, etc.. Day of, Katie + Devin were a dream team. Working with so many personalities of our friends and family is no easy feat but they worked as if they could read my mind. Their associate was professional and a great sport, working in the cold November air to shoot photos after the ceremony! They knew when /where to be and how to capture the day flawlessly and were a great team to work with! Thank you, thank you, thank you DeGroot team! 110% recommended!”

I love a mix of candid and editorial photography, but I also knew I’d need a few classic posed shots for family photos. Autumn delivered on all three flawlessly! For our candids, Autumn was able to capture myself, my now husband, and our guests looking the best we ever have, while still capturing the liveliness and excitement of the moment. She has a great eye for editorial, capturing details and angles that feel elevated and striking in her compositions. She also managed to get our family photos done quick enough for us to join cocktail hour! Autumn was so patient and receptive to what I was envisioning, and I'm so pleased to have had her artistic eye to capture, edit, and celebrate the best moments of our wedding day.

Documentary-inspired wedding photography for couples who value honest moments, timeless imagery, and photographs that feel like home. My approach is very candid and story-driven, focused on capturing the little in-between moments that often end up meaning the most. The blurry dance floor photos, happy tears during vows and all the beautifully imperfect moments that make your wedding feel uniquely yours. I’ve always been drawn to nostalgia and the way photographs can instantly bring you back to a feeling. More than anything, I want your gallery to feel warm, personal and full of life. Like memories frozen in time.

“Nancy was amazing to work with and honestly felt more like a friend than just our photographer. She made us feel comfortable right away, kept things relaxed and she somehow made being in front of the camera actually fun and not forceful or awkward. Throughout the day, she captured so many genuine moments without ever making things feel overly posed When we got our photos back, we couldn't stop looking through them.

Hi, we're Susan and David. We love capturing love stories! As hopeless romantics ourselves, we love to hear how our couples got engaged and how they envisioned their wedding day. It's all in the details, from the initial consultation to timeline planning to capture your wedding day, we are with you every step of the way. Although your wedding may only last one day, it will be an unforgettable moment because it marks the beginning of something marvelous, your marriage.

“I absolutely loved working with SuStudios. Clear communication about everything. We met more than once to determine our ideal photos and to do an engagement shoot. I learned so much and every picture has turned out so well. Can’t wait to get back all the wedding photos.”

Hi there! I’m Jacey, the heart behind Gypsee Photo & Film. Based in Palm Springs but ready to travel, I capture love stories with soul, blending digital and 35mm film photography. With over 15 years of experience, I focus on creating timeless, authentic memories. Beyond the lens, I’m a mom of two and a sourdough baker. My style is warm, editorial, and true to you—crafted to let you relive your day with joy. Can’t wait to meet you and capture your love story.

“We absolutely love working with Gypsee Photo and Film at CRC! Their romantic, timeless style captures each couple’s love story so beautifully—it’s like watching a dreamy fairytale come to life through every image and film. They have such a talent for finding those quiet, emotional moments and making them feel cinematic and heartfelt. Not only is their work consistently stunning, but their team is also warm, professional, and such a calming presence on a wedding day. Our couples always feel at ease with them and are thrilled with the final gallery and video—they’re truly storytellers through and through. Gypsee Photo and Film is one of our favorite creative partners, and we’re always excited when they’re behind the lens at The Villa or The Barn!”
