Loes Takes Clips 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

I'm a photographer who loves, love and being able to share that through my lens is what drives everything I do. I have a deep adoration for storytelling and capturing the authentic, unscripted moments that matter most. I believe every love story is unique, and my goal is to bring excitement, ease, and a calming presence to your most important day. With a passion for preserving real emotions and meaningful memories, I aim to capture photographs that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

Logan has been a good friend of mine for years, so asking her to photograph our engagement shoot was a no-brainer for me. Her natural ability to bring any vision to life, mixed with her unwavering work ethic, is what sets her apart. I can tell her one idea I have, and she will effortlessly create something better than I could have ever imagined. We have a 1965 Corvette in our family that I thought would be cool to use as part of our shoot. I trusted her to tell us where and how we could incorporate it, and she brought our vision to life. She goes above and beyond, even standing in the middle of the road in Carmel-by-the-Sea as cars try to pass, to bring that vision to life. Also, we are far from naturals in front of the camera. I always rely on Logan to give us ideas for how to create movement and relax. Working with someone so kind and able to make you feel comfortable is crucial, because it not only creates an outcome you will love, but you will have fun doing so as well.

Angela Sue Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. They were precise and thoughtful in their instructions and communication, which put us at ease throughout the day. Their work is very intentional and detail-oriented - they showed up promptly and made us feel like our day was their top priority.

Hi, I am Andy, a wedding and San Francisco City Hall photographer based in the Bay Area. I photograph couples who want their day to feel relaxed and unforced, while still looking polished and elegant in photos. I quietly document the real in between moments and then step in with gentle direction when you need it, so you never feel stiff or posed. From intimate City Hall ceremonies to full day weddings, I help you plan a simple timeline, find beautiful light, and make the most of every location. I personally edit each image with a clean, true to life style so your photos feel timeless and still like you many years from now.

Andy Pol was an absolute joy to work with from the first inquiry to the final gallery. He blended into our day seamlessly, putting everyone at ease and finding those candid, emotional moments we didn’t even know were happening. His calm professionalism kept us relaxed, yet his creativity meant every shot felt fresh and personal - nothing cookie‑cutter here. We received our photos exactly when promised (within 10 days!), beautifully edited and ready to share. Friends and family still rave about how natural the images look, and we love that he surprised us with short highlight video clips as a bonus. If you want someone who truly listens, communicates clearly, and turns your wedding day into timeless art, book Andy - you’ll be so glad you did.

She’s communicative, empathetic, and very talented. On the day of she was calm, upbeat, and efficient. Everyone loved working with her, from our wedding party to family and guests. Brittani is especially good at making her subjects look and feel natural- not always an easy feat at a wedding! Her 2nd photographer, Lahni, was also great!

  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

Whether you hope to celebrate your love on a tranquil shore or under a shower of glittering sparklers, my unique balance of classic portraiture with a modern photojournalistic style will transform those powerful experiences into timeless art. Together, we'll discover serenity in the chaos and genuine beauty in each moment.

We cannot recommend Zha Zha Photography highly enough! From our very first phone call to the final gallery, Zha Zha exceeded every expectation. We chose her after seeing her portfolio-her previous work at our venue perfectly matched the style and composition we envisioned for our own wedding. During our engagement shoot, Zha Zha immediately put us at ease. Neither of us is used to being in front of the camera, but she made the experience fun and relaxed, helping us feel natural and not take ourselves too seriously. The engagement photos turned out beautifully-we loved them so much that we used them in our wedding guest book and at our rehearsal dinner. Throughout the entire process, Zha Zha was warm, friendly, and a fantastic communicator. On our wedding day, she was always present and supportive, even stepping in to help with little things like tying my bow tie! Her eye for lighting and composition is truly impressive, and her attention to detail in both framing and editing made every photo look incredible. She also worked seamlessly with our videographer, ensuring everything went smoothly. One unique and invaluable aspect was that Zha Zha speaks Chinese, which made communicating with our families so much easier and helped everyone feel comfortable and included. This was especially important during our Chinese tea ceremony, where she was able to capture all the important moments and ensure nothing was missed. Her eye for lighting and composition is truly impressive, and her attention to detail in both framing and editing made every photo look incredible. We were surprised to receive a preview gallery of 75 photos just a couple of days after the wedding. It was wonderful to be able to share these beautiful moments with our family and friends so quickly. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely caring photographer, look no further than Zha Zha!

We not only worked with Natalie for our wedding, but also for our engagement shoot and our mini-ceremony a few months before the wedding, so we felt like we really got to know her and her shooting style. She's very kind and flexible about her vision and yours and is more than willing to work together with you to make your dream photos a reality. We chose her because we loved her photography style and her general demeanor during our first meeting with her. We liked that her photos remain true to color, with a little softening but not too much! Her direction for positioning was super helpful and felt natural. She was very accommodating of all requests, which made us feel heard and we love all of our photos! We had not planned to work with Pedro as well for our wedding, but extenuating circumstances meant he was with Natalie day-of. He's also very kind and accommodating and together they make a really great team! We would love to use them for any future photoshoots.

Since me and my partner don't know how to pose, she guided both of us on how to pose from start to finish. She is incredible. She works well with the videographer Ed. They are like perfect combo to capture special moments. She also asked for my Pinterest inspiration before we started and video call'ed each other to talk about where I want my shoots to be done and gave some recommendations. During our shoot, they extended their time eventhough its passed that. Overall, I would recommend Jade and Ed, the videographer.
