Te Dua Weddings

  • Serves Oakdale, CA

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
From the very first phone call, Enea set the tone for everything that followed. We’re not “picture people” at all, so the idea of an engagement shoot at San Francisco City Hall had us both quietly panicking. Enea’s warmth, humor, and genuine conversation melted every ounce of awkwardness away. We laughed more than we posed, and somehow walked out with **stunning, frame-worthy shots** that still make us grin. My husband loved them so much he had them printed and sewn onto the lining of the vest he wore on our wedding day – talk about a keepsake! Come the wedding day, Te Dua’s team was a dream. We got all the classic staged portraits we wanted, but what stole our hearts were the candid, in-the-moment captures: friends tearing up the dance floor, champagne toasts mid-laugh, family members just having a good time every second of joy preserved forever. And then there’s Luke, the videographer – wow. The highlight film he delivered is straight out of a Hollywood romance. The editing, the music, the pacing… it’s an emotional roller-coaster that replays the entire day in under ten minutes. I’ve watched it on repeat and cry every single time. Turnaround wasn’t instant, but every second of the wait was worth it. The quality, care, and artistry shine through in every photo and frame of video. Te Dua Weddings Photography isn’t just a vendor – they’re memory-makers. If you want to relive your day with tears of happiness for years to come, book them. 10/10, no hesitation, highly recommend!

Jeff Carnie Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Oakdale, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Jeff Carnie Photography captures authentic moments through portraits, weddings, real estate, and aerial imagery—serving Northern and Central California with professional, storytelling-driven photography you can trust.

I cannot recommend Jeff Carnie enough! I hired him for a surprise engagement proposal at a restaurant, and the planning process was incredibly smooth. We set it up so that Jeff and his wife were seated right next to us as regular diners, and my fiancee had absolutely no clue until the big moment. Jeff was a joy to work with and very professional. He and his wife coordinated everything perfectly to capture the proposal right at our table. The photos of the moment are really special and exactly what we wanted. On top of that, the turnaround time was amazing; we received our edited photos just two days later. If you are looking for a photographer who is easy to plan with and delivers high quality images, you should definitely hire Jeff.

HI, I’M HILLARIE HUGHES . I am a lifestyle/wedding photographer based out of Merced, CA. I’m 33 years old, a wife and a mother to four beautiful kids. It's safe to say that I'm a VERY busy mama!

I was born and raised in the Philippines but now call Northern California my home. I've been a photographer for over a decade and that journey has made me come to realize that nothing makes me happier than making those behind my lens feel amazing about themselves. My goal is to be so much more than your photographer. I'd love for you to consider me your friend especially because we'll be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day. Trust me to help fix any strands of hair that get in your face, straighten out your outfits, help you pose, and encourage you to enjoy this momentous day.

Tooney was the perfect choice for our wedding! She is a beyond talented photographer and our pictures came out perfectly, such an amazing way to remember our day. Pre-wedding everything was communicated well and in a timely manner. The day of she was the perfect blend of directing us and our family to get those more staged shots and then blending into the background for the candid ones. Would 100% recommend for any wedding, special event or family photos the value she offers cannot be matched!

Imagery by Carissa Dugoni 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Oakdale, CA

I’m Carissa, a California-based wedding photographer specializing in true-to-color editing, candid documentary coverage, and natural, editorial-style portraits. My work focuses on real connection, emotional storytelling, and the in-between moments that define a wedding day. With more than a decade of experience, I photograph weddings with an intentional, relaxed approach that helps couples feel comfortable, authentic, and fully present. My husband, Tyler, joins me as our videographer, bringing the same warm, storytelling-driven style to every celebration.

Ethereal, candid, jovial, refined are some of the buzzwords that the images of our oak tree & hanging lights, spring evening, 100 person ranch wedding brings to mind. Carissa made sure to get an idea of our and our family's priorities and vision for our wedding day photography months in advance. As the day approached she nailed down specifics of timing and herding those dear to us to capture everything we wanted! She has an eye for catching family dynamics, sweet background moments, and her whole team is quick to drop to the floor to get the perfect golden hour angle, play with long exposure, or get some kids laughing! They coordinated wonderfully with our other vendors throughout the day on things like equipment positioning and audio capture. We knew we would love any photos of us as a couple on the happiest day of our lives, but the width of their professional and personal vision for the whole picture is what truly captured our hearts. Thank you Dugonis for loving on us!

Jess was so reliable and communicative throughout the entire process from beginning to end. She went above and beyond with the quality (and quantity) of gorgeous photos! Jess and her team made us feel comfortable and were efficient at taking photos during our wedding day. I didn’t want to feel take away from the moment to “pose” and I never was- but I got all the photos I could ever ask for! She captured all the special moments beautifully. I would recommend her work to anyone who wants an easy going photographer and dreamy wedding photos to look back on! We can’t thank you enough Jess!

Photography has always been more than just photos to me. It’s freezing the little moments that end up meaning the most years later getting to tell people stories is something I’ll never take for granted. Behind every session is a girl who still gets excited every single time someone trusts her to capture their memories and honestly that feeling never gets old.

We could not be happier with our wedding photos from Payton Ophelia Photography. From start to finish, she was professional, kind, and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire day. She captured every special moment so naturally and beautifully, and the photos truly tell the story of our wedding day perfectly. Her attention to detail and creativity were incredible, and you can really see how much passion she puts into her work. We’ve received so many compliments from family and friends, and we will treasure these photos forever. If you are looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, and genuinely cares about capturing your memories, I highly recommend Payton Ophelia Photography!

There is nothing more beautiful than a love story well told. Through the highs and lows of the past year of a pandemic, it is clear that love conquers all. The profound emotions, the small gestures and glances, the words of honesty and love shared are memories that will last a lifetime. I photograph weddings to highlight that connection, to ensure your feelings from that day can be looked back on and cherished forever.

Lauren Elizabeth Imagery is a dream to work with. I've shot many weddings with her over the years. Her communication style is relaxed, clear, humorous, efficient, and always positive. She puts everyone at ease throughout the day. Her images are distinctive, fresh, earthy, and emotional. She captures the story of a wedding in a way that feels ageless. Like a true artist, Lauren sees things in her clients (at weddings or portrait sessions) that others often miss. Additionally, Lauren gets along with everyone from all walks of life, from the smallest flower girls to grandparents, making her a joy to be around.

Meet Kathryn: I began my career as a wedding photographer almost 15 years ago, first working for a renowned Bay Area wedding photographer, and then officially opening Kathryn Lewis Photography in 2014. I loved capturing intimate moments, getting (maybe overly) excited about good light, traveling to gorgeous places, and helping set up the perfect timeline and obsessing about the details so clients’ wedding days could be seamless and stress free. Being able to do that for so many amazing clients makes this such a dream. I'd love to meet you!

Kate Michelle Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,490
  • Serves Oakdale, CA

From the moment we begin planning together, my process centers on trust and ease. I believe that beautiful imagery comes not from forced posing or rigid schedules, but from relaxed presence and genuine interaction — the fleeting glances, the laughter between moments, and the quiet exchanges that happen when people feel truly comfortable in front of the camera. Couples often describe my presence as calming, intuitive, and supportive, and I love helping even those with little photography experience feel natural and confident.

It is difficult to put into words how wonderfully Kate captured our wedding. Her professionalism and skill allowed her to take beautiful photos, but her presence and perceptivity guided her camera toward the most important, intimate scenes of the day. We were fortunate enough to have Kate with us for the full wedding weekend, as she got to know our inner circle of closest family and friends. She observed as hundreds of connections were made, countless laughs were shared, and documented the magic in those moments between our guests. Kate guided us through our camera-shyness and instructed us with her expertise on how to pose for photos. She effortlessly wrangled and directed our bridal party and families for a seamless, efficient photo session, somehow keeping us all on schedule. Our wedding was lighthearted and festive at times, as well as deeply sentimental and emotional at other times, and Kate's photos encapsulated all of it. We are so grateful for her, and couldn't have imagined a more well-suited photographer for the most special day of our lives.

For starters, I'm truly just your average woman who is constantly re-watching her favorite shows like Yellowstone + Greys Anatomy - I've got my hair in a bun, cozy sweatpants on and a beer logo boyfriend tee. I'm typically swing dancing in the kitchen to 'CoJo' or cookin' up some bomb ass pizza on the BBQ with my man. I'm originally from the Biggest Little City in Nevada, but I dream of owning a paint horse ranch in the texas, with a big open white and black barn and room for all my dogs! You know the ones we all see on pinterest.... but my new home in Georgia is everything I could have dreamt up and more.

Hey y’all! I’m Theresa, I’ve always had a passion for photography (mainly cause of my children! ). But then I was asked to capture my first wedding and that was it. A new love and a new found passion for capturing such a special day, a moment in time frozen in images for your years to come and generations to see.

She was absolutely incredible from the moment I booked her to the very end of our wedding day. Her communication was clear, responsive, and reassuring, and she made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was patient with the kids, kind to our families, and kept everything flowing without making it feel rushed. She even stepped in to lace up my corset when I needed help — truly above and beyond. Her work is stunning, timeless, and beautifully captured, and she managed to catch so many genuine moments we’ll treasure forever. Booking her was one of the best decisions we made, and I cannot recommend her enough.

As you can tell, sometimes choosing your photographer can be an overwhelming process. There are so many things to consider when narrowing it down to your perfect match. Of course, style and price are the main two, however, some couples forget that your photographer is the one person who is with you the most on your wedding or event day. That is why we offer complementary sessions to all our couples so we get to work together and create a bond. Instead of just being "the photographer" at your event, our goal is to capture beautiful images from your day and leave you with an experience that enhances your memories.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From start to finish, Wedding Times Film was an absolute dream to work with. They have an incredible eye for capturing not just moments, but emotions—every smile, tear, and laugh was documented so beautifully. The photos were beyond stunning—timeless, elegant, and so full of life. [Photographer’s Name] has this unique ability to make you feel completely at ease in front of the camera, which truly shines through in the natural and candid shots. Not only were they professional and attentive, but they also brought a calm and joyful energy to our wedding day, which made all the difference. We’ll cherish these photos forever and can’t thank them enough for perfectly capturing one of the most important days of our lives. If you’re looking for a talented, passionate, and reliable photographer, look no further—Wedding Times Film is amazing. Highly recommend!
