Storytelling that's crafted with care - Timeless. Classic. true-to-life. My approach to photography is rooted in storytelling. While I absolutely love to capture the big, meaningful moments of the day, I'm equally drawn to the quiet in-between moments that often become the most treasured memories. My approach is designed to help you stay present with each other and your loved ones while I document your wedding day as it naturally unfolds. Of course, I'll provide guidance when needed, but my goal is never to pull you out of the experience—it's to preserve it.

Sarah Fischback Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the start, Sarah was professional, attentive, kind and extremely organized. My sneak peak pictures are absolutely stunning - the photos are crisp, gorgeous and capture the natural beauty of our background as well as myself and my family in a beautiful way. Sarah had a detailed timeline for my entire day and although we got a bit off track, she did her best to get us back on schedule in a warm and kind way. At no point did I feel bombarded, as Sarah has a wonderful calmness, kindness and professionalism about her that allowed me and my wedding party to truly relax and enjoy the day. Sarah captured all the big and small moments, and I am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Sarah Fischback Photography for any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience on their wedding day. Book her and her team and you will be able to truly enjoy! My family and all my guests were raving about her!! Thank you so much Sarah and team for all your support and incredible work!!!

I started shooting photos and video in Greece, and since moving to the US, I have dedicated myself to shooting weddings, elopements and engagements. I love being able to capture the love that my couples have for each other and the unique energy each couple has. I am always down to shoot in new locations and find the best place for my shoots!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so lucky to have Te Dua Weddings capture our special day. From the moment we first spoke with Enea, his communication style was filled with love and enthusiasm and he understood exactly what we wanted/were looking for . Enea and Hayley were a true joy to work with, making us feel cared for and appreciated throughout the entire process. I came to Enea with the idea of entering our Venue with a video rather than with a song. Him and Hayley both captured our engagement pictures and clips for our video. He presented a beautiful gallery of photos for us and then the video. Which was perfect to say the least! The quality of their work is simply outstanding and you can tell they put their love into what they do! We are so grateful to have such beautiful, timeless photographs as well as Video that perfectly preserve the magic of our wedding and Engagement. Te Dua Weddings truly was one of a kind, going above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot recommend them highly enough. We ran into issues 4 days before with our Photographer (We only hired Te Dua for Wedding day Video) and Enea was kind enough to offer pictures as well in between capturing for the video. He did something he wasn't hired to do and made our day that much less stressful. Cheers Enea & Hayley. We are forever grateful for you two!! I will for sure be re-hiring them for any future events and I would chose them Over and over and over again. Don't hesitate to look elsewhere, Te Dua Weddings, is the perfect choice! Enea, YOU OUTDID YOURSELF!! P.S. I even got my Cinderella moment and it was unplanned!!!

Working with Sydney was an absolute dream. From the very beginning, they made us feel comfortable, seen, and completely at ease in front of the camera — and the photos reflect that perfectly. They didn’t just capture what our day looked like, they captured what it felt like. Every laugh, every tear, every in-between moment is frozen in time so beautifully. Her eye for detail, lighting, and composition is incredible — but what really sets her apart is how effortlessly they blend into the day. They were everywhere and nowhere all at once — never intrusive, always intentional, and somehow caught every angle and emotion. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day from start to finish. We’ll cherish these photos forever, and we truly couldn’t imagine a better person to have behind the lens on the most important day of our lives. Run, don’t walk, to book them!

Alicia Parks is an award winning, published wedding photographer. She understands how significant your wedding day is and is dedicated to capturing every beautiful, authentic moment with exceptional professionalism and care. Her unparalleled passion for her work and attention to detail set her apart, ensuring that every image reflects the true essence of your love story. Alicia and her team ensure your experience is as flawless as your photos. She works from the heart, pouring love and dedication into every shot, to provide you with an unparalleled wedding photography experience.

Working alongside Alicia Parks Photography this summer was an absolute pleasure. Alicia is not only highly professional and prepared, but genuinely respectful to everyone involved in the event. That respect for fellow vendors is often overlooked, yet it plays a major role in how smoothly a wedding day unfolds. As a bride or client searching for vendors, this should honestly be a standard question to ask: How do you view and work with your peers? Most wedding professionals are meeting for the very first time on the wedding day, yet we’re expected to immediately function as a unified team. Alicia truly embodies this cooperative spirit. She approaches the day with collaboration and kindness, making communication seamless, transitions effortless, and the overall atmosphere calm and positive. That unity doesn’t stay behind the scenes—it carries through to the guests. Much like walking into a restaurant where the staff clearly enjoys working together, the experience simply feels better. I would gladly work with Alicia again and highly recommend her to couples who value not only beautiful photography, but a thoughtful, collaborative, and seamless wedding day experience.

I'm Amy, chief picture taker, head editor, dubious web designer, and volunteer animal hugger at Amy Little Photography. Work is always fun because I'm never far from snacks and never close to snakes. Taking pretty pictures is easy. But documenting the honest, emotionally raw, and laugh-out-loud, because you didn't know that happened pictures is where I really shine. Photographing hundreds of weddings has deepened my joy of authentic storytelling. It's also been a catalyst for my cake addiction so I hope you're cool with being an enabler.

When I was looking at photographer portfolios, what I paid attention to most was how they captured candids. Could the joy, love, and excitement of the days shine through? Literally no one could compete with Amy Little there! She has an incredible talent for capturing the sweet moments that make a wedding special. Then I talked to her, and we instantly vibed. She even made my fiance lighten up and feel comfortable -- a herculean task! On top of that, she made us look and feel stunning. She taught us two awkward penguins how to model and let our true selves show on film. I still don't know how she did it! And on the day of, she not only was solving problems like a boss, she turned her creative eye into some jawdroppingly beautiful creative pictures in the rain. She's a genius, and I couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out.

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.

Laurie Ann Martin and her team are a fun and professional group to work with. She is detailed oriented and cares not only how the pictures turn out but also your experience. My eyelash came off and I wanted to cry at city hall but she not only made me happy but went to Walgreens to get eye glue lash! That is the type of all hats on board she and her team are. When they had down time before the reception, they even offered to help out non-picture wise wherever they could! She also sends little gifts and surprises but I won’t spoil it. There is one BIG surprise she does at the end but I won’t spoil that either lol. She is fortunately not shy about whether she understands whether things are communicated correctly to her, especially when it comes to the albums - I was quite detailed oriented in what I wanted in my albums and how they were designed _. Her and her teams services are of an immense value and my husband and I had ALOT of fun shooting and videoing with them. Also, the video was really great, really a must.

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.

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.

Marc Blondin Photography

  • Serves Novato, CA

I’m a wine country native and learned the photographic arts from my family. My early travels and studies in the art & humanities opened my horizons to culture and diversity, plus I'm of mixed ethnicity. I really enjoy photographing weddings, because it has influenced me in a variety of unexpected and good ways. Each wedding has their own uniqueness, personality, and beauty. My life experience in wedding, portrait, & event photography has been a very gratifying and fulfilling journey. I’ve been pro wedding photographer for over 15yrs, and I’m insured.

Choosing Marc Blondin as our photographer for our wedding day was the best decision we made! From the first consultation to the final retrieval of the photos, Marc was professional, communicative and so easy to work with. At one point I shared a really special moment with my Dad when tears started flowing like crazy, Marc stepped out to give us some space. We'll treasure these photos forever and can't recommend Marc Blondin Photography highly enough for anyone looking for a talented and reliable wedding photographer!

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.

Daniel Neal Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Daniel’s communication was timely, offering helpful advice in a succinct yet friendly manner. On the day of our wedding, he seamlessly blended into the background, capturing ethereal moments that beautifully reflected the love and emotion of our special day. As a DIY bride without a planner, he helped set realistic schedule expectations and put us at ease, so much so that we hardly noticed he was there - except when he made us smile or laugh with his warm, personable approach. The final photos were absolutely stunning, showcasing the loving, intimate feel of our celebration in a way that truly exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the exceptional service and value provided by Daniel Neal Photography.

Groovyhumanstudios is where timeless romance meets a bold, retro-inspired edge. We specialize in wedding photography that captures the raw, unfiltered essence of your love story. We don't just take pictures; we document the "groovy" in every human connection, focusing on vibrant colors, authentic movement, and the candid moments that make your celebration uniquely yours.

Huge shoutout to Nate (Groovyhuman Studios) for shooting our wedding. Hiring him was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Even with planning our wedding in just 3.5 weeks, Nate’s professional, laid-back approach made a hectic timeline feel super easy. He was highly communicative and genuinely took all of our ideas and implemented them within his own style, which we love! Nate incorporated all of our input effortlessly and delivered a gallery of gorgeous photos. We especially loved how he captured so many candid moments; at times, we barely even noticed he was there. His eye for natural environments and flattering light is incredible. His use of natural elements and the gorgeous landscape really stand out in the photos, and we couldn’t be happier. One of our most fond memories is how awesome Nate was with all the kids at our wedding – he caught them in action and the character of each of them shines through in the photos on the dance floor, when they were sneaking away climbing trees or during our ceremony. We literally only have the best things to say about Nate and his shots! To our knowledge, he is newer to the Northern California area, so we encourage you to hit him up— we promise you won’t be disappointed! We were super comfortable with Nate and are still in touch when we are back in the area. We would hire him again in a heartbeat. If you’re in the area, we highly recommend his exceptional work, laid-back style, and use of natural landscapes to provide high-quality photos that last a lifetime! Thank you Nate for making our day even more unforgettable!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
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. The wedding day goes by in a flash and now we can view the alternating photos as our TV's screensaver!
