Hey, My name is Boris and I'm stoked you are here. I'm passionate about creating authentic visual memories for humans who are madly in love with each other, so they can travel back in time and relive the deepest moments of their lives. I can't wait to hear your story!

Awarded Best of Zola
Boris was recommended to us by our original wedding photographer who had to back out, given she was moving her business to the East coast. From our first email exchange and phone call with Boris, he was such a delight to work with! We didn't actually meet in person until a few hours before our wedding when he arrived to start photos, and we immediately felt so comfortable and relaxed working with him. His attention to detail and ability to "herd cats" in order to make sure all of our preferred photos were captured was impressive, and he had great suggestions of photo areas / shots that we didn't even think of which was great. If you're looking for a photographer who is a true professional and can direct shots, look no further! Boris brought a great energy to our wedding day and our guests continue to sing his praise based on how gracefully he interacted with everyone at our reception to capture candid shots and we could not be happier with how our photos turned out! I highly recommend Boris and would love to work with him again!

They were everywhere and nowhere all at once — never intrusive, always intentional, and somehow caught every angle and emotion.

True Light Photography was incredible to work with for our wedding day. Calea's communication was always effective, timely, clear, and kind throughout the entire process.

Calea was there for us the entire time, even helping to capture some amazing shots despite a last-minute change in the weather. I am so happy I chose True Light Photography, and I've already had several friends start following them so they can potentially hire Calea for their own events.

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

My name's Meg and I'm an elopement & intimate wedding photographer based in Northern California. I specialize in unhurried, all-day and multi-day adventures throughout Sonoma County, Mendocino, Big Sur, Redwood National Park, and beyond. I help couples create an elopement experience they wouldn't change a thing about with a highly comprehensive planning framework, and deliver photos that they want to show off on every wall.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first phone call with Meg, we immediately knew she was the perfect fit for us. We were planning our elopement in California from New York so finding someone that we connected with and trusted without ever meeting was a big risk. But during our call Meg took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, and ever more so after our first call to truly find out what we wanted out of our special day. Along the way she was so helpful with sending suggestions of locations, fun things to do, and once we narrowed it down sent a timeline to keep us on track. The day of our elopement we never felt like she was a pushy photographer like traditional wedding photographers are. She let us enjoy our time together and have those special moments. We can’t recommend Meg enough if you’re looking for a micro wedding or an elopement photographer!

You don’t have to choose between meaningful portraits and actually spending time with your guests. I photograph weddings for couples who value being present with the people they love, while still making time for portraits together. With thoughtful pacing and smart use of natural light, there’s time for both. My approach blends joyful, editorial-style portraits with candid coverage, guided in a way that feels calm and unobtrusive. Outside of winter weddings, there’s usually more flexibility than couples expect, allowing space for portraits and time to enjoy cocktail hour, dinner, and the moments that matter most.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Kristen made us feel comfortable. She was able to take charge when it rained on our wedding day and delayed the ceremony by over an hour. I do not know what we would have done without her!! She kept everyone laughing and relaxed, and for that I cannot thank her enough. Even with the delay, she was able to finish the family pictures, our couples pics, and the wedding party AND still managed to get us to the reception ON TIME! She was absolutely incredible and even our wedding planner was so impressed by her! The pictures turned out to be everything we imagined and more and we cannot recommend her enough to our friends and family.

  • Serves Novato, CA

My love for photography sparked from a deeply personal place—watching my children grow up way too quickly and wanting to capture those fleeting moments before they slipped away. This journey turned into a passionate calling, and now, I look to bring a documentary and cinematic style to every session I have with my clients. As a quiet queer and a loud LGBTQIA+ advocate—everyone is welcome in front of my lens. My priority is creating a safe space for my clients where they feel they can express themselves freely so I can capture the uniqueness that makes them - them.

If you're searching for a wedding photographer who doesn't just capture moments, but creates art and effortlessly adapts to your vision, Aubrey Hernandez is the absolute pinnacle. As someone who works in editorial fashion, my standards were high. I spent over a month meticulously reviewing more than 250 photographer portfolios. Finding someone who could deliver a stunning variety of styles and locations was non-negotiable. Aubrey wasn't just a choice; she was the undeniable answer. From our first look at the hotel, Aubrey transformed our anticipation into pure magic. She met us with her team at our hotel for a pre-ceremony shoot, where she captured our first look beautifully. Then she guided us through the vibrant streets of San Francisco as we walked towards our venue, she captured breathtaking, fashion-forward editorial moments with an authenticity that felt effortless. Her eye for unique angles, urban textures, and genuine connection resulted in photos that look like they belong in a high-end magazine – exactly the dynamic, artistic range I desperately wanted. Aubrey's brilliance continued seamlessly at the venue. She masterfully utilized the remaining time before the ceremony to capture heartwarming, natural shots with our friends and family, proving her incredible versatility in shifting from high-fashion editorial to intimate, joyful candids without missing a beat. Throughout the entire wedding night, Aubrey, along with her second shooter and assistant, were an absolute dream team. Their coordination was flawless, ensuring every crucial moment, big and small, was documented from multiple beautiful perspectives. They were everywhere they needed to be, yet never intrusive – a true testament to Aubrey's professionalism and leadership. We received our sneak peek shots within 48 hours and we’re overjoyed with how much we loved every single one. We look forward to seeing the rest of the pictures as they come in In the next couple months. What truly sets Aubrey apart is her distinct artistic voice combined with remarkable flexibility and versatility. Not all artists possess both, but Aubrey does. She understood my vision completely and executed it with grace, creativity, and enthusiasm. Her openness to collaboration and crystal-clear communication throughout the entire process made us feel heard, valued, and completely confident. Choosing Aubrey Hernandez was one of the most significant and worthwhile investments we made for our wedding. She was our largest investment for that day and her work was well worth it. She didn't just take pictures; she crafted a visual narrative of our day that is diverse, deeply emotional, and artistically extraordinary. Her talent is undeniable, her team is superb, and her ability to blend editorial flair with genuine wedding storytelling is simply unmatched. To couples seeking photography that transcends the ordinary, especially those desiring a mix of styles, locations, and pure artistry: Aubrey Hernandez is worth every single penny and then some. She delivered beyond our wildest dreams. Thank you, Aubrey, for your incredible talent, flexibility, and for giving us heirlooms we will cherish forever!

Choosing Marc Blondin as our photographer for our wedding day was the best decision we made!

If you would have known me growing up, you would have been surprised if I didn’t become a photographer! I fell in love with photography after spending countless hours in the darkroom. Since 2008, I have been working professionally in the photography industry and have shot over 300 weddings and numerous other assignments in almost every genre of photography. Why Weddings? I love problem solving and puzzles, and I’m always up for a good challenge. For me, a wedding is a day full of all of the things that I love. Its basically a whole day of coming up with solutions to make the best photographs for my couples.

Lisa and her team were exceptional! We resisted hiring a professional photographer for our wedding for the longest time as we were not convinced that the quality was worth the investment. Boy were we wrong! We could not have been happier with the results and no photos from our family iPhones would have captured the moment like Lisa and Amy. I was drawn to Lisa's storytelling style and how her photos seem to capture the moment. The photos were presented beautifully on our personal gallery and we couldn't have been more proud to share them with our family and friends. We were thrilled that there were so many great photos of our family and friends that they could keep for themselves. You won't go wrong with Lisa and her team and will have photos that you will look back on for many years

We love our engagement photos and love our wedding photos even more. Russ was so easy to work with on the wedding day - he was on time, communicative, and helpful.

We believe in celebrating all love and take pride in beautifully documenting your unique story. As down-to-earth artists, we are in this business purely for the genuine, unscripted moments that make your wedding day unforgettable. We love hearing about the incredible wedding plans our clients are dreaming up and turning those visions into lifelong memories.

In a covid wedding world, Lauren and Jamie showed up for us. From the start, they were eager to get to know us, understand our vision, and do everything they could (above and beyond) to help it come to life. We put together a ceremony on a cliff, sight unseen, but Lauren and Jamie scouted locations for us, talked us through logistics, and were exactly the people we needed with us to make this day happen. They are creative and adventurous, detail-oriented and responsive. Looking back, they were the piece that held everything together from planning to watching it all unfold in front of us. They were discreet during our intimate ceremony and we were able to just be ourselves and enjoy the day. They captured incredible moments and classic portraits that we will cherish forever. Our guests still talk about Lauren hopping on Jamie's shoulders to get an epic group shot on the cliffside. It is more than just earning a paycheck for these two, they are genuinely kind and talented people that you want with you on such a memorable day.

Bustle & Twine was perfect for our magical, groovy 70s boho wedding. From the start, Lisa's warm, responsive, and compassionate communication style put us at ease. As a video producer, I have the highest standards, and Lisa exceeded my expectations with the quality of her work. She was so generous with her time and attention to detail. She captured first looks and wedding party pics beforehand and then true emotional "editorial" moments during the events- family members meeting for the first time, rifts being healed, and joy after loss. Lisa also helped co-create a seamless photo plan so each guest table could quickly get their pictures taken with us on their way to get their food. With our limited DIY budget, Lisa worked closely with us to make sure we got beautiful photos to remember our joyous day. Hiring Bustle & Twine was one of the best decisions we made - we now have incredible photos we get to enjoy for the rest of our lives.

I am a Mother, Poet and never-ending dog trainer of my 3 spoiled fur babies. I grew up around photography, my grandfather was a photographer and this has always been something I loved to do. I love people and I have a ton of fun working at events. I am always excited to capture these moments for people and proud to share my results afterward. Photographing people and moments over the years is my true calling in life. Gives me great purpose and I really do enjoy it.

Have you ever met someone you just instantly clicked with? That was meeting Mrs. Opal Prince. From our very first conversation, Opal completely understood my vision--and more impressively, she worked with me through every indecisive moment and my very type B planning style. She never once made me feel underprepared or behind; instead, she offered thoughtful suggestions, filled in the blanks when I couldn't quite articulate something, and genuinely partnered with me every step of the way. We first worked with Opal for our engagement session, which I was admittedly nervous about--especially since my fiancé has a five-minute photo stamina at best. Not only did Opal make the experience comfortable and fun, but she even brought in her husband to help manage our wild dog so we could get a mix of shots with and without him. When I say our pup couldn't have been in better hands with someone we had just met-l mean it. The session was full of laughter, reassurance, and ease, even as our dog did his best to cause chaos. And the photos? They were turned around quickly and completely blew us away. I had several people text me photos of our Save the Dates, amazed by amazed by the stunning pictures Opal captured. Those engagement photos will be treasured for the rest of our lives--and then came the wedding... Opal and her partner, Wing, perfectly captured the energy of the day--Wing with my fiancé and his groomsmen, and Opal with me and my bridesmaids. You can truly feel the personality and emotion, which I fully attribute to the energy they bring. Their calming, friendly presence makes it feel like you're just hanging out with a friend--not posing for a camera. Our wedding day brought its fair share of last-minute weather pivots, and while Opal's role was officially a photographer, she effortlessly became so much more. I found myself turning to her again and again, and every time she was there--calmly helping, offering direction, keeping me on track. Though she was not our coordinator, she filled that role in such a natural way, and I am so grateful for her presence on that day. I can't imagine not having Opal or Wing with us for future milestones. They are the kind of photographers who make even the most camera-shy person feel confident and beautiful, offering clear guidance and capturing magic along the way Book Sweetbay Photography!!! You will NOT regret it!

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Working with Harrison was probably the easiest part of our entire wedding. He built us a custom package for our less than normal wedding, and was super thorough in documenting our details. When we got the photos we loved how he and his second shooter were able to get lots of pictures of our family and friends, while taking some beautiful couple shots of the two of us as fresh newlyweds. You won't regret having him along for your special day!

Michelle did engagement photos for my fiancé and I and they were spectacular! Michelle helped us pick out a location that went with our vision. During the session Michelle gave us so many funny and unique poses and actions to do that came out so well! We had so much fun and were smiling and laughing the entire time!

Serving Healdsburg, Napa, Sonoma and the Bay Area Easy and fun, like all weddings should be. (The stress stops here.) If I know you like I think I do, you’re getting married in Wine Country because you know it’s a place you’ll get taken care of. It’s a town full of hospitality and warmth. And let’s not forget the great wine, the perfect scenery, and the memories you’ll have forever because you two came here to say “I do.” You’ll have those moments because I’ll document them for you. And I can’t wait.

Stephanie enjoys people and it shows in all her work. We loved the photos she took, not only because they are clear and show good composition, but also because she captured moments that were important/funny/poignant. She is an absolute pleasure to work with in every way!
