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 glad we chose Te Dua Weddings to capture our big day. From our first conversation, the team was responsive and laid-back, which made planning feel stress-free. They didn't just show up to take pictures—they helped us get ready, kept our family organized during videos, and genuinely cared about making everything run smoothly. The photos are stunning and show incredible attention to detail in every shot. What really set them apart was how they went above and beyond without us even asking, treating our wedding like it was their own. We couldn't recommend them more highly.

The Team at Precise blend were amazing! They were timely, professional and were dressed up in a suit for our wedding. They include a logo of our name with a design they can add to the front of their both. It made our wedding set up look extra put together. They have an easy to use app so you can choose the music you want. You can even add more friends and family on the app so they can add music too. They go above and beyond too. James was able to remove the vocals on a song so that the live singer could use it to sing our first dance song. The most important part, they had the best music going continuously at the right times. The dance floor was full at my wedding the entire time even though the AC stopped working in the hall and it was really hot in there. After my reception, everyone wanted to keep dancing, they didn’t want to stop! The DJ James, made the reception so much fun. My friends and family still talk about how much fun they had at our wedding! I would hire them again in a heartbeat, and will use them for my events in the future!

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Occidental, CA
  • Offer

Huria’s brings the authentic taste of mobile woodfired catering from Brooklyn to the North Bay Area. Based in Bodega Bay, we are a family-run business specializing in rustic-style weddings and rehearsal dinners. Our vintage-inspired pop-up kitchen design creates a charming focal point for your celebration, serving up artisanal pizzas and woodfired dishes that provide a one-of-a-kind, delicious experience. We focus on high-quality ingredients and a warm, communal atmosphere that turns a meal into a memorable event.

If we could give Huria's 10 stars, we would! Adriana and Chef Mohaimen are an absolute joy to work with :) We hired Huria's as our caterer for our 90 person wedding. Since our wedding was taking place on a private residence, we had very specific criteria for a caterer and basically needed them to be self sufficient for gas, electricity, kitchen space, etc. Huria's took care of that without a problem! From the beginning, Adriana had clear and responsive communication. She answered my questions very quickly with care and knowledge. Their menu is absolutely delicious and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the carefully crafted appetizers and mains. My now husband and I originally had our reservations about wood fired pizza, fearing that the pizzas would be cold by the time guests came up to get it, but Huria's has their system down to a science. Every single guest was quickly served a hot meal and there was plenty of leftover food for second and third helpings. We also received so many compliments on the incredibly cute set up that Huria's brings to each event they cater. Their woodfired pizza oven, pop up bistro, and tables add rustic charm to any venue. Guests were blown away by the set up and it photographs beautifully! The team at Huria's is professional, warm, transparent about pricing, and provides incredible food with great service. I cannot recommend Huria's highly enough to anyone who is looking for a food caterer in the Northern California area! Thank you so much Adriana and Chef for making our wedding feel (and taste) so special, we are so grateful for you! :)

Aubrey at Madeleine's Macarons & Crepes was so helpful in picking out the flavors that would best complement the seasonal theme and color scheme of our party. The macarons they provided were absolutely gorgeous and perfectly delicious - the texture was just the perfect bite, scrumptious in every way. We placed beautiful macarons around the top of our tiered towers as the crowning glory, so it was the last little bite of treat and the perfect way to complete our party. The quality, colors, and flavors from Madeleine's are truly unmatched. I loved everything about my experience with them and couldn't recommend them highly enough - I will definitely use them again!

Welcome. I’m a southern girl, born and raised. Years ago, I drove to CA for the first time on a whim and well, I just never left. I love to travel, explore, and meet new people. My tiny dog, Gravy, is usually by my side. If there's fun to be had or a laugh to be shared, I'm in! And if you call me last minute to join you on a crazy adventure, I will say yes. Most definitely yes.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tammy captured our wedding day and engagement photos perfectly. As a couple who isn't always comfortable in front of cameras, she helped us warm up, feel totally ourselves, and captured moments of our personality, emotions, and all of the moments we cherished (and even those we didn't get to see ourselves) on our wedding day. Tammy is incredibly kind, helpful, and a joyous presence when she is shooting. She is one of those people who can make anyone feel at ease and confident, and leans into the joy of your wedding day- you can tell that she loves the energy and excitement of what she does. Furthermore, the photos came out AMAZING. The lighting, framing, candid and staged shots are beautiful. All of our photos came out very authentic to us, felt unposed (even when they were a little bit!), and natural. She went above and beyond helping us with timing, a shot list, and other things we should consider about our day and flow. I would 100% recommend working with Tammy --she was the best vendor we worked with!

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.

We’re Michael and Maria, the husband and wife team behind Kingdom Photobooth. We create refined photo and video experiences for weddings throughout Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Marin County, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area. We believe a photo booth should feel like a beautiful part of your wedding, not an afterthought. From studio-quality portraits and premium prints to thoughtfully customized details, every experience is designed to complement your celebration while giving your guests something memorable to enjoy and take home.

If you want a photo booth company at your event that truly cares about capturing booth memories with excellence, then this is the one! Michael & Maria (owners) thoughtfully created a q&a (prior to your event) which allows you to communicate the heart, style, themes and colors of your event. This allows for personalization of props, backdrop and photo labels so that even the small details of the Photo Booth will match your event style! We hired Michael & Maria for our wedding, and at one point we got behind schedule and totally forgot to get photos of us (the bride and groom). But they took time to go out of their way to find us and make sure we didn’t forget to get a photo. Really appreciate that because otherwise we probably would not have a memory at the booth! Great Photo Booth with great service and care. Thanks!

My wedding hair and makeup experience with Devotion Studio was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend them enough! Taylor did my makeup, while Delaney and Kirsten did our hair, and from start to finish, the entire experience was seamless. One thing that immediately stood out was how organized everything was. Kirsten created a detailed schedule for me and my bridal party, and the entire morning ran right on time. Having that level of organization took so much stress off my shoulders and allowed me to actually enjoy getting ready. What I appreciated most was the calming presence of the entire team. Wedding mornings can feel hectic, but Taylor, Delaney, and Kirsten created such a relaxed, positive atmosphere for me and my girls. We felt completely taken care of the whole time. The attention to detail was incredible. They didn't just finish our hair and makeup and move on—they continually checked in, did touch-ups, and made sure every single person looked and felt their best before photos and the ceremony. My makeup felt so natural and comfortable, exactly how I wanted it, and both my hair and makeup lasted beautifully throughout the entire day and night. I felt confident, beautiful, and still like myself. Thank you, Taylor, Delaney, and Kirsten, for helping make my wedding morning so special and stress-free. I am so grateful to have had the Devotion Studio team by my side on one of the most important days of my life!

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.

Our food is driven by the seasons and folks tell us all the time they can't believe they are eating at a wedding and not a restaurant. We LOVE what we do and are honored to be part of your amazing day.

Dee catered my 75-person wedding at the Tiburon Landmarks Art and Garden Center and exceeded every expectation. The venue does not have a kitchen, which is obviously a challenge for any caterer - Dee set up a full mobile outdoor kitchen on-site and the food was absolutely incredible. She never skimped on quality and sourced ingredients locally. We served dinner plated style offering a white fish or short rib - both were exceptional. She was incredibly responsive throughout, and went above and beyond as a planner-caterer hybrid. She even did my florals, which were stunning. She has great taste, and she became a trusted advisor throughout my planning process. I truly couldn't have done it without her! I don't have photos of the food from my photographer yet but attaching our dinner table arrangement and my bridal bouquet for reference.

I truly cannot recommend Sandra enough. From day one, she made the entire process so much easier and less stressful. I loved doing the design side of things but absolutely dreaded all the vendor communication — and she completely took that off my plate. She handled ALL of it, advocated for me using her knowledge of the wedding industry, and honestly found practically all of my vendors. On top of that, she was able to get vendor discounts, which was such a huge bonus. She was endlessly patient with me when I couldn’t make up my mind and wanted constant changes — never once made me feel annoying or difficult, just supportive and flexible every step of the way. The week of my wedding, we found out there was a high chance of rain, and I was completely overwhelmed. She immediately reached out to THREE different tent rental companies last minute, got quotes from all of them, and supported me through a lot of tears with so much kindness and reassurance. On the actual wedding day, I truly didn’t have to lift a finger. Everything ran so smoothly, and if anything went wrong, I still have absolutely no clue about it — which says everything. Even after the wedding, when I didn’t receive something I was promised from a vendor, she stepped in and helped communicate with them to make it right. Overall, she is incredibly easy to work with, easy to talk to, and so understanding. Having her on my team was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, and I’m so grateful for everything she did to make our day happen. Highly, highly recommend!

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.

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!

This team is amazing. We had both Laurie and Roy to take engagement and wedding photos. Always on time, they make you feel comfortable, even when you’re a little awkward. And the photos all turned out great! Very flexible and accommodating; we had a slight issue and had to change venues and they were super understanding. Had pictures back to us in a very timely manner. Great experience my first time ever booking with a professional. 10/10 recommended Laurie Ann Martin Photography!

Welcome! My name is Aryk, I’m a self-taught artist who built my skills from the ground up. My experience in photojournalism and street photography combined with my love of fine art are the foundation of my style. My approach to weddings is that of a documentarian and a witness. My couples are folks who value quality and intimacy, and want their wedding day illustrated with a unique album filled with artful candids, punctuated by breathtaking fine art portraiture.

Aryk is one of a kind. Our wedding was so beautifully captured thanks to them. As a wedding photographer myself, it was important for me to find someone that excelled not just in the technical aspects, but in the overall experience they provide their couples. Aryk always made me and Noah feel comfortable and listened to. They're sensible, communicative, professional, courteous, and always engaged. Always going with the flow, Aryk can adapt to change while still providing excellent results. We appreciated how Aryk's photography method provided us with a one-of-a-kind gallery: a blend of film and digital, all showcasing the genuine emotions I so desperately wanted captured, and in such a beautiful way. Our families and friends are STILL so in awe of the photos we came out with thanks to them. We love you Aryk!!

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.

When we got married originally, we already had ideas of how we wanted our 10 year vow renewal to go. Fast forward to 10 years later (and several sessions with Meg already in the books), we knew we couldn't do this idea without her! When we first emailed Meg, she was already on board and so game to jump into the crazy idea of not only a sunrise photoshoot in the dessert but also a walking wedding on the Vegas strip and a club bus. Nothing seemed to phase her. When we got to planning, Meg was so helpful in keeping us keep on track and checking in with ideas or backup ideas. Once the vow renewal was said and done, Meg had all of our photos back to us in under a week (!!) and oh man, did she nail every single one! We can't even imagine picking just one favorite. Meg is the only photographer we could have imagined using and are still in awe that she choose to work with us on it! To this day, it feels like a fever dream of an event, and having Meg there to document it made it even more of a dream.

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.

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.

Aubrey photographed our Sonoma wedding in July and I can’t recommend her enough!!! Aubrey is talented, professional, and listens intently to your vision of the day. My husband and I had such a great experience working with Aubrey and she captured our day perfectly!!! She brought an awesome team and recommended our content creator as well!
