Madison far exceeded our expectations. She was prompt, professional and so good at giving us direction. I felt like I could totally trust her and depend on her the day of my wedding during the most frenzied moments. She calmed us with her kind presence and got the job done so beautifully. She sent us a sneak peaks of our photos two days after our wedding and we were BLOWN away!!! Man oh man, she is a talented photographer. She captured the very essence of romance and love in our photos. We can’t wait to see the rest and will absolutely be hiring her for our future pregnancy photo shoot!!

I looked for a wedding photographer for a few months before I found Malorie and I'm so glad I found her! We exchanged a few emails along with a phone interview and her kindness and passion for photography is what sold me. I was looking for candid, moody, black and white, detail shots, and Malorie's work was everything and more. She came to the venue the day of and was so sweet, patient, kind and ready to work! I cannot recommend Malorie more, she absolutely nailed it with our wedding photos, the detail shots alone are my absolute favorite. Malorie, you have a true talent, and I will forever remember your work and your pure kindness and passion.

In our behind-the-scenes life, we are dog parents and are best friends of 15 years (and married for 13 of those 15 years).

Awarded Best of Zola
Looking for a photographer is difficult and so expensive. We talked to many and even though everyone is professional we never felt cared for till we spoke to Renee. Her and Ricky her husband/videographer were both so great and thoughtful. They checked out our venue to get an overlay. We met up on another day for a engagement session which turned out amazing! It was really fun and enjoyable. They were both so flexible and patient. In my opinion they turned out to be more than just our photographers. On our wedding things got hectic due to rain and plans changing but they both adjusted accordingly. All of our photos look amazing and they got great candid shots si we that's what we wanted. I have no problem recommending them to anyone. We have photographers now for life for all of our events and I would even say friends :)

Hello! I’m Savannah, the photographer behind Savannah Rose Photography. Like so many, photography started out as a fun hobby, and I have been fortunate enough to be able to make it my career. For the past 10 years I have been able to use my passion for art and photography to help my clients create uniquely beautiful memories that they will enjoy for years to come. I am definitely guilty of being a bit of a perfectionist which ensures that I do everything I can to give you the best photography experience. Whether it be portrait session or on your wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Savannah photographed our proposal as well as our wedding and both sets of photos came out so beautiful! She is the sweetest and so fun to work with! Prior to the wedding she took time to talk to me and make sure we were on the same page for how we wanted the photos to feel and look, what poses or types of shots we might have especially wanted etc. (but was also so good about helping direct us if we got in an awkward posing situation!!) and had beautiful ideas for photos that didn’t just look like every single other wedding picture you’ve seen! She also made sure everything for the day of was coordinated with a photo schedule for our first look and things like the family shots which made everything run smooth and was very stress free for everyone involved. She perfectly timed out when and where we would need to be for the best lighting and even before that (since our photos after the ceremony were off site) made sure that location was just right and would work well. She honestly thought of everything and her preparation was obvious in how perfect the photos turned out! Savannah captured the special parts of that busy day but also little things I was too distracted to really soak in, she’s worth every bit!

I'm Aubrey Rae, a natural light wedding and portrait photographer located in Temecula and serving the Southern California area. I create vibrant and elegant photography for couples who value timeless images.

Awarded Best of Zola
Aubrey did an incredible job during the planning portion leading up to my wedding for photography. She has impeccable communication, thorough documentation and expectations and will guide you through things that you think would work great but with her experience she might suggest something slightly different that will make a world of difference in the timeline of your day for photography. She is always open to ensuring that you as the client have your desires for your wedding photos fulfilled. I always felt like she listened, and worked through fine-tuning details. My husband and I aren't exactly "comfortable" in front of the camera and rarely knew what to do with our hands or where to look and she was always so helpful to ensure we were comfortable and the photos would turn out looking relaxed and at ease. My wedding photos are stunning and I have Aubrey to thank for that! You won't regret choosing her to photograph your most precious day!

Hey! Hey! We are more than just a production team, we are a blend of editorial, documentary, and emotion. We're all about the real vibes of storytelling, we believe in real emotions, unfiltered details, and candid beauty of your day. Located in Riverside, CA, and surrounding areas.

I couldn't recommend MissySure Photography more. I was in a car accident the day BEFORE my wedding day. I sprained my knee and got a second degree burn on my left hand. Not only was MissySure Photography kind, professional, and personable but they also made sure I was comfortable and allowed me take as many and as long of a break I needed. When we got the pictures back we were in love. They came out beautifully and you'd never know I burnt my hand. Her communication was prompt, thorough, and personalized, making the entire process seamless. We were sent a google poll document which allowed us to really tailor what kind of photos were important to us. We decided to elope within the month and MissySure Photography took the time to make sure we understood the process, what to expect, and how many hours was realistic for what we wanted. Day of the team was amazing. Missy was great at giving direction and posing us and making us feel comfortable behind the camera. We were able to take photos with friends, family, and even go to a second near by location because we weren't rushing. Im so thankful we were able to book MissySure Photography for our special day.

As a wedding photographer, my approach goes beyond just capturing moments. I strive to tell a unique and heartfelt story that reflects you and your couple’s love, personality, and cultural background. With a background in film and a passion for photography, I blend cinematic storytelling with documentary-style photography. I focus on capturing not just the big moments but also the in-between, fleeting glances, joyful tears, and spontaneous laughter that make a wedding day truly unforgettable.

We were thrilled with the services provided by Daniel, our wedding photographer. His communication throughout the process was excellent - he was prompt in responding to our inquiries and very helpful in guiding us through the photography timeline for our big day. The quality of his work was pristine, as evidenced by the beautiful slideshow he created using our photos that was presented during the ceremony. The pictures he captured truly brought our special moments to life and touched everyone in attendance. We highly recommend Daniel and all the services he provides. He went above and beyond to deliver an experience that exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much, Daniel, for the time and care you dedicated to making our wedding day so memorable.

I’m Summer and I’m a wedding and portrait photographer. I love to document moments, big ones and the tiny ones that sometimes go unnoticed. Things I enjoy, Funny memes, kind people and enjoy a good true crime podcast. I'm a 9 on the enneagram, if your into that. I believe in true love and the power of a great hug.

During COVD we've had to change our plans so many times we were just about to give up and just get married at the county clerk. Summer was so patient at every twist and turn and encouraged us to hold a Minimony. With her help, and suggestions of wonderful vendors, we got married. A small intimate wedding, following all the current restrictions of coarse, and it was MAGICAL. We had the best day and it actually probably better then we originally planned. Thank you Summer you are a godsend and our photos are PERFECTION!

I started my photography business in August of 2010 after our daughter was born. I enjoy the beauty of capturing and telling peoples stories. I still remember being terrified to capture my very first when without my mentors, I didn't want to miss anything. After more than 200 weddings I can say I am completely in love with capturing and telling wedding stories.

You cannot go wrong with hiring Kirstin! Her photos are awesome, but she's also easy to communicate and work with. Highly recommended.

The photos turned out even better than we imagined, we honestly look like Hollywood model stars (and we’re definitely not, lol). Our friends and family still can’t stop talking about how amazing the pictures are! His team also did our videography and captured every special moment beautifully.

I’m the girl who faces into the cool breeze and lets the sunlight hit her cheeks. I’m the friend who gets the late night texts asking for valuable, heartfelt opinions. Those late evening drives in the jeep with the windows rolled down and the country songs turned up… that’s me ya’ll that’s me! There’s nothing quite like authenticity, love, and vulnerability. That is exactly what I see and what I capture when I get behind my camera and face it out into our beautiful world. Let’s be unapologetically ourselves and get out in nature, in the golden light and be willing to adventure. Are you ready? I am.

Amber and Billy are a dream to work with! They captured every detail beautifully and thoughtfully. Supremely professional demeanor and top notch photos. The photo viewing portal is easy to interact with, too. I couldn't be more pleased with them and their work.

If I’m not busy photographing people, tending to my two fur children, studying medicine, or being a firewife, you can catch me on the couch with snacks and Grey’s Anatomy or out adventuring with my husband. What I love about my job is being a part of someones most special moments of their life. How cool is it that I get to help plan a surprise proposal?! Or witnessing two lovers enjoy time together? How about a pregnancy announcement?! I love every second of being a part of something so much bigger than myself.
