Eduardo was AMAZING!! From the moment we booked him till receiving our photos. The communication was direct and to the point which is what we loved. During our wedding he was extremely personable and made us feel comfortable and reminded us to just be in the moment. He really went above and beyond during wedding day. In receiving our pictures, we were even more impressed and so happy with how they turned out. We feel it’s important to have someone you can build trust and connect quickly in such an important day and that’s Eduardo. We are fortunate that we went with blackhatstudio for our wedding photos. We are so excited to now print them and share with our loved ones! Thank you Eduardo for capturing our day!!!

Abby Taylor Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

Erin Marton Photography

Newport Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

Erin is a 12/10 and worth every penny. She was so kind, attentive, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She made it a point to get to know my husband and I as a couple, and was always a text away to answer any questions I had. Her work is absolutely STUNNING, and exactly what we were looking for: colorful, natural, editorial, and candid. She is the best of the best I wish I could get married again just to have more photos!

Jenny Markham Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Jenny was open to all of our ideas and easily accessible, making the planning process a breeze. Her whimsical style and ability to capture photos with a sense of motion and energy were exactly what we were looking for. I remember Jenny told me that she would never make us do anything just for a photo and would never make us do anything twice - she wanted our photos to be natural, which I loved. On the day of the wedding, Jenny fit seamlessly into the background, working hard to capture all of the special moments, both big and small. She found the perfect spot for our first look and even helped me recreate some shots I had seen on Pinterest. Jenny was also flexible and accommodating when we surprised her with a first look request with my dad and grandfather. We are thrilled with the beautiful, dedicated photos that Jenny delivered, and we would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer to document their wedding day.

Intertwine Films is a photo + video team capturing weddings as they actually unfold. Real moments, real energy, zero forced vibes. We focus on connection over perfection, movement over posing, and stories that feel lived-in, emotional, and timeless. If it felt big to you, it matters to us.

Everyone tells you the same thing when you’re planning a wedding, your photos matter. And honestly, they’re right. Working with Bryan and his team was such a great experience from start to finish. From the very beginning, Bryan took the time to really understand our vision and walk through the flow of the day, which made everything feel organized and stress free. On the wedding day itself, he ran the photo side like a pro...so calm, confident, and always paying attention to the details, especially lighting and timing, to make sure every moment looked its best. My husband has a background in photo/video, so our expectations were high, and they absolutely delivered. The quality of the images, the editing, and the final presentation completely exceeded what we imagined. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends, family, or anyone who wants their day captured beautifully.

Hi, I’m Annie! Welcome to HoneyAnne Photography! I'm based in both Southern California and Virginia—sounds a little unusual, I know! My photography style combines the timeless elegance of editorial imagery with the heartfelt authenticity of documentary photography —each gallery is designed to feel like your favorite magazine spread or Pinterest board! I believe that everyone deserves beautiful, film-inspired photos that capture their story. HoneyAnne Photography was inspired by the golden warmth of honey. Much like the taste of honey is comforting and sweet, I want your experience with me to feel warm, inviting, and unforgettable.

Words cannot express how lovely and amazing experience I had working with Annie. My husband and I first met her and her second Madeleine when we did our engagement shoot and I just knew we made the right choice. And leading up to the wedding the communication was incredible. On the day of the wedding I wholeheartedly knew that Annie and Madeleine were going to capture the day so beautifully and her photos are such a beautiful reminder of the love and joy felt that day. I just know that whenever another special occasion comes up I would love to have her photograph it.

We love working with Daniel (the "D" in Wesley D Photography) so much that he the only photographer on our preferred vendor list. He is reliable, cheerful, and does a WONDERFUL job of capturing special moments. He has photographed numerous weddings and other special occasions for us and our clients, and most-recently photographed a ticketed Father's Day BBQ at our venue. His past work for us has always been amazing, but the Father's Day pictures are truly special. We emailed them to all of our event attendees as a special thank you gift - needless to say, receiving his pictures was the cherry on top of the ice cream sundaes we served that day.

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Nadia and Gunnar! We met with them ahead of time at a local brewery and quickly learned that they would be a great fit. Their photography style is bold and beautiful, and the couple is very professional and easy to work with. It was so hard to narrow down our selection because there were soo many great shots! I can’t wait to work with them again some day! Highly recommend!

I like to describe myself as Jessica Day, minus the really talented singing voice, but just overall kind of quirky and nerdy. I love capturing love stories, and fan girling hard core over all things wedding! If you need someone who is going to help you walk through your planning process, I'm your girl! You can also catch me binge eating tacos and ice cream while editing until 3am!

My wife and I live in Chicago, but did engagement photos with Jessica in Orange County and loved the experience so much that we flew her out for our wedding! Jessica was so much fun and made us feel SO comfortable! She made sure I wasn’t stressed about our timeline as we planned and on the day of the wedding. We loved getting our same night previews and were able to use them to create custom thank you cards early to get ahead on sending out thank yous to our guests. All of our friends can’t stop complimenting our photos and we can’t wait to work with Jessica again in the future!

When you see your photos in 5 years, you will remember how your special day FELT and not only how it looked. You don't have to worry about photos, you just have to enjoy your day at the fullest.

I am a documentary wedding photographer blended with an editorial approach, and I aim to capture those special moments naturally as they unfold. I'm inspired by the genuine affection my clients have towards each other and look to document & craft your wedding photos with a candid eye. I don't want to dictate your day but let you enjoy your day. I may suggest small things like shooting portraits when the light is perfect, such as when the sun is going down, or I'll suggest taking a moment to embrace your partner & remind you to be affectionate on your wedding day. It's how I ensure you get beautiful natural images full of emotion.

Jesus was our wedding photographer for our special day. From our first interaction, Jesus showed confidence in his experience as a wedding photographer. He took the time to understand what I imagined my wedding photos would look like that is how he carefully planned, & captured my wedding photos. Jesus arrived 1 week early before the wedding day to scout out locations, shared photos with us, and seamlessly incorporated them into our timeline. We felt like we not only had a talented photographer, but also a day-of coordinator who helped ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He made sure we not only captured the photos we would love but also took the time and went above and beyond to take care of us as people, offering to get water and making sure we had drinks or food. Ive never had an experience with another wedding photographer but I imagine its not a level of service thats common in the industry. The variety and quality of the final photos exceeded our expectations, and we are extremely happy to have such beautiful, and meaningful heirlooms from our celebration. We highly recommend Candid Moment Photo to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

We’re JP and Rachel, a husband-and-wife team, focusing on how your wedding is experienced as much as how it is photographed. We document weddings through honest emotion and intentional imagery, drawn to the in-between moments that define the day. We guide with light direction and attention to timing, allowing space for moments to unfold naturally while you stay fully present with your people. Based in Southern California and available for travel, we document weddings near and far. We photograph engagements, wedding days, and everything in between.

From the moment we first reached out to Snatched Weddings, we knew we had found the perfect photographers for us. We were looking for someone with a clean, editorial style who could also make two camera-shy people feel completely at ease, and they exceeded every expectation. Throughout the entire process, they were so responsive, organized and genuinely invested in making sure we felt comfortable. On the day itself, they brought such a positive energy that made everything feel effortless. They guided us when we needed it but also gave us space to simply enjoy the moment together, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. When we received our gallery, we were completely blown away! Every image felt timeless and captured not just how our day looked, but how it felt. Looking through the photos truly felt like reliving every emotion all over again. Looking back, choosing Snatched Weddings was genuinely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with our photos, and we’d recommend them to any couple in a heartbeat!

Although I’ve been shooting for over a decade, ASP launched full time in April of 2015 as an all encompassing business and became a Corporation - Strong Smith, Inc. in 2018. Since then, I’ve been beyond blessed to : - Document nearly 450 sessions - Document over a 100 weddings - Receive almost 250 FIVE STAR reviews on multiple platforms - Published nearly two dozen times

I highly recommend Ashley as your photographer. I first came across her work from another friends wedding, and I specifically loved her editing/the way she captured light in her photos! The photos we received did not disappoint. I've been struggling to narrow down which ones I want to print and frame in our home. I loved the app we received within a couple days that had a bunch of previews--more than enough options to choose from for an initial Instagram post! Ashley was so sweet to work with, and made sure to capture everything we discussed in our calls leading up to the big day. It was so fun going back through all the photos after and seeing how many group/family photos she was able to capture of our guests as well. I feel like the day was documented so well and we kept getting compliments from our guests about how great Ashley was. During our guest table photos she was so efficient, but also checked the photos to make sure no one was blinking etc. before moving on to the next grouping!

I’m Karen, your expert California elopement photographer. I'm passionate about making sure couples feel seen and heard when it comes to their wedding day. No elopement is too "out-of-the-ordinary" nor too out of reach. I believe in the power of eloping so much I did it myself. Away from crowds, enveloped in nature, against a badass view, with the people I feel most comfortable with. I'm with you every step of the way. By providing personalized location lists, planning resources, vendor recommendations, permits, and so much more we bring your dream wedding to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Karen’s work is incredible! We watched the slideshow tonight with our daughter and it was perfect for story telling. Karen delivers more than just a file of photos, she delivers a story. With Karen’s well balanced guidance, energy, and peacefulness My husband and I were able to submerge ourselves in the present moment and truly feel like it was just the two of us. Thank you Karen for such a wonderful experience!

Welcome!! I am Michelle, and for the past 14 years I have had the privilege of capturing countless magical moments of the happiest days of people's lives. My style is playful, romantic and genuine. I love to capture the joy and love that radiate from my couples on their wedding day, and my goal is to make you feel comfortable and natural in front of my camera. Whether it's a sweet kiss in front of a castle, or a candid moment on a carousel, I'm always on the lookout for those special moments that tell the story of your love.

Michelle Lacson Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, efficient, and engaging - exactly what we wanted. Their high-quality work and near-perfect settings and backdrops exceeded our expectations. Michelle was in constant communication with us leading up to the big day, ensuring she knew exactly what we wanted so she could capture our special moments without disrupting the flow of the day. She encouraged us to have fun and be natural, which allowed our real, raw emotions to shine through in the photos. Michelle and her team are truly the best of the best, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've provided us from our wedding day.
