Ditto Dianto Photography

Oakland, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000

I'm a fine art wedding photographer based in Northern California and beyond. After discovering my love for photography, I always knew I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. I am so fortunate to call this my job for over five years! My photography work often describe as romantic, soft, bright and natural that lend itself from my love of film look and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two Tabbies. I would absolutely love to get to know you and be your photographer!

Ditto is an absolute dream to work with and I am so happy we went with him as our wedding photographer. My husband and I are awkward and stiff in front of cameras, but Ditto made us feel right at ease. He gave us gentle guidance with poses, helped us relax, and chose some of the most beautiful spots for photos. We adored our engagement photos but our shots from our wedding absolutely stunned us - we could not believe how gorgeous everything turned out! If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, easy to work with, quick with their edits and final photos, you have to go with Ditto. Thank you so much for capturing our best moments, and we can't wait to work with you again soon.

Cat Fennell Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Oakland, CA

With a background in shooting portraits, events, couples and food, getting to shoot all of the above makes weddings a dream for me. Not to mention I am a BIG hopeless romantic and I can't get enough of love. Which brings me here, to photograph your big day! I absolutely love connecting with my couples, learning about the two of you and what makes your story special to you. I don't want to just be your photographer, I want to your friend!

Cat was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, Cat was prompt, friendly, and easygoing, putting us at ease as a couple who aren't normally super comfortable in front of the camera. On the day of our wedding, she captured gorgeous images — both outdoor and indoor (a last-minute, weather-driven change to which she adapted seamlessly) — that perfectly reflect the joy and intimacy of our celebration. As a solo photographer, Cat seemed to be everywhere, documenting all the little moments, yet her presence was never intrusive. Many of my favorite memories of our special day are cemented by her incredible photos. I'm so grateful she was part of our wedding day and recommend her wholeheartedly. The value for the quality of her work was also exceptional.

Shawna GD Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Oakland, CA

I photograph intimate weddings and elopements with intention, emotion, and a little bit of edge. My approach is simple: your photos should feel like you. Real, raw and timeless, not stiff or performative. I'm here to catch the unplanned magic and the editorial moments that make your story look and feel as fabulous as you do.

We had the most magical experience with Shawna! She captured our proposal so beautifully that every picture feels like it’s straight out of a fairytale. Not only is she incredibly talented behind the lens, but she also made us feel so comfortable and natural throughout the shoot. Her energy, kindness, and attention to detail turned a once-in-a-lifetime moment into memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to capture your special day with creativity and heart, we can’t recommend her enough. Truly one of the best decisions we made for our proposal!

Jessi Clare Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Oakland, CA

I love romance and I want to reflect that in my images. Aside from posed editorial type images, my couples do a lot of interaction with each other, allowing me to produce images that reflect true joy, love and emotions. I married my husband twice, not because we were divorced but because our first wedding was at a courthouse, and on 1st year anniversary, we renewed our vows in front of 100s of our family and friends. We have 2 beautiful daughters that keep us on our toes. And when I am not photographing weddings, I work as a nurse in the emergency room.

Jessi's talent is absolutely incredible and unmatched. Not only does she have an eye for beauty and perfect lighting, but she captures images that are genuine and breathtaking. She is very professional, very personable, and very patient which is an amazing combination for a photographer. We can't wait to use her for our pregnancy photos and family photos for years to come. Thank you Jessi!

My husband and I hired Edgar (Anchor Studios) as our photographer for our wedding on July 7, 2024. He did an amazing job!! Since we started working with him for our engagement pictures up to the wedding and after, he has been great at communication and very professional. He went above and beyond by helping us create a timeline for our wedding because didn’t know how weddings usually go. He worked so hard on the day of our wedding to get the best shots, and was very kind and helped us a lot with organizing order of events. He had great ideas for poses and was very mindful to get all the pictures we wanted with family members and bridal party. And even better than all of this, when we got the pictures, they came out amazing!! It’s very clear that he put a lot of hard work into making them look incredible. He is a very talented and skilled photographer. We were blown away by how they turned out! We are very thankful for how hard he worked and how great he made the picture look! We highly recommend him!

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

We truly cannot say enough great things about Sarah. There aren't enough words to describe how thankful we are to have had her as our wedding photographer! Sarah is so genuine, kind, helpful, and honestly just so cool! She is so fun and fit in perfectly on our wedding day! We were nervous at first because we weren't super comfortable around the camera. Sarah put us at ease immediately. Sarah captured our day PERFECTLY! We are SO thankful to have such beautiful photos to look back on. What I love most about Sarah is how much she genuinely loves her job. You can tell she puts so much time, effort, and care into ensuring her couples are well taken care of. It is so refreshing to see someone so passionate and in love with what they do! If you're looking for a photographer who truly cares and will capture all of the amazing moments on your big day, stop your search now and book Sarah!

Cassie Valente Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $9,750
  • Serves Oakland, CA

My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started working with Cassie, it felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. Cassie is so thoughtful, patient, and funny- and we got to experience that multiple times when we connected with her for our photography. We truly believe that her vision and personality is what makes her photos feel so authentic and filled with light love. As awkward people anxious about taking photos, we were so relieved how Cassie made us feel comfortable from the beginning of our engagement session. She was able to somehow fade into the background, while also guiding us and capturing genuine moments. We loved that photo session so much that we ended up hiring her for our welcome dinner as well! Cassie was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, making sure to get a list of our important shots ahead of the wedding while working closely with our planner to make sure there was a clear schedule. This meant that we could be as present as possible on our wedding day. On the big day, Cassie honestly felt more like a part of the wedding rather than simply a vendor. She knew how to make everyone comfortable, made sure the bridesmaids and groomsmen were having fun, and made the day feel natural for us. We got all of the wedding photos we wanted, and managed to even be AHEAD of schedule so we got to spend more time at our cocktail hour!!! Cassie’s photos capture the full range of emotions on the wedding day, because she’s able to connect deeply with her couples and understand what is important to them. Her style was something we gravitated to as we wanted a photographer who would not simply chronicle our event, but also capture the small details and genuine emotions that we might miss during the day. For both the engagement shoot and our wedding weekend, Cassie promptly delivered sneak peek highlights within a couple of days, and the full album within her initial estimate (8 weeks). She managed to capture the full essence of the day. Everytime we look at those photos, they bring us right back to those moments and feelings. We are so lucky and thankful to have had Cassie as our photographer. Hire her for your wedding! You will not regret it!!

I cannot express how amazing Angela was. She has not only a super warm personality. But also an amazing work ethic. I got the package for two photographers and they were both phenomenal. While I was getting ready(we are running about 30 minutes late) she was out taking photos of the venue, the lay flat photos, and the other details pictures. She even held onto our rings for me because the bridal suite was a wreck and I didn’t wanna lose them. All in all my experience with her was a 12/10 experience. She was one of the people who made my wedding less stressful!

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
Oh my goodness, where do I begin? I honestly can not even express how much I enjoyed my experience with Roberta. When I met her initially before hiring, I instantly picked up on her genuine and gentle way and knew that she would be a great fit for us on our wedding day. Fast forward to a year and change later and she was even better than I could have hoped for. She's a true master of her art. She knows exactly where to get the shot, how to make you feel completely comfortable, how to make you look natural and how to move you along in a way where you can still enjoy your party (which was really important to us). She listens to what you want and that's exactly what she gives you. All of our friends and family commented that Roberta knew what she was doing and they were right. If you have the opportunity to work with Roberta you can consider yourself lucky. You are in great hands and you will not only LOVE the photos but you'll love working with her

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm gonna start this review off in somewhat of an unconventional manor, with a question. How do you describe perfection? I know, philosophical.... But that's what you get when you go with Samantha Jacobs. Perfection. A beautiful blend of classy, edgy, timeless and chic. This not only describes her work but her as a person. She is charismatic, enigmatic, and vibrantly personable to where she effortlessly puts you at ease. She has a way of reaffirming you that shrouds you in a blanket of confidence like a swaddled newborn. By the end of the shoot I never felt so beautiful. I'm talking cover of GQ beautiful. Yeah I said it! So if your trying to decide on the perfect photographer, stop scrolling, put your phone down, walk over to your mirror, look yourself in the eyes and say "stop it!" Then walk back over to your phone, pick it up and call Samantha Jacobs! BOOM! Mic drop!
