We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Te Dua Weddings. From our very first interaction to the last moments of our wedding day, Enea and Hayley were an absolute dream to work with. They brought such professionalism, kindness, and an incredible eye for detail, which took so much stress off our shoulders and let us enjoy every moment. The photos and videos they created are nothing short of breathtaking. Every smile, tear, and joyful moment was captured in such a beautiful and natural way. Additionally, they provided us with a google drive link of RAW files, which shows just how much they care about giving their clients everything they could want. Enea and Hayley are not just talented; they are artists with a true gift for storytelling. They exceeded every expectation we had, and we’ll treasure their work forever. If you want a wedding photo and video team that will blow you away, Te Dua Weddings is the one.

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.

  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

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.

We are so happy we chose Andy for our City Hall wedding. From the first message he was easy to talk to, clear about pricing and timing, and helped us understand how everything at City Hall works. On the day he arrived early, found great spots with good light, and gave us just enough direction so we did not feel stiff or awkward. At the same time he stayed very calm and kind, which really helped with nerves. When we received the gallery, the photos felt like us: natural, flattering, and not over edited. Our families keep saying how beautiful the pictures are. We would absolutely hire Andy again and recommend him to anyone looking for a relaxed, professional photographer.

My name is Brittani and photography is my ARTlet. Inspired by the constant flow of love and energy of the world, I photograph people who value authenticity and connection. I reside in San Jose, but with the heart of the adventurer, I'm always ready to grab my backpack and go.

Brittani was recommended to us by our planner, Dumi Gordon — and I’m so glad we went with her. From start to finish, Brittani was a consummate processional. 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! We’ve already seen our sneak photos (Brittani sent them ahead of schedule) and they are gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the rest (I know they will be surpass our already high expectations).

Hi, I'm Alexandria and I am based out of San Francisco! I love capturing weddings and relationship milestones, and I am bubbly and loud. I am majorly creative and extremely dedicated to photography.

  • 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!

This review is long overdue! Mostly because my wife and I have been 'honeymooning' these past few months but we wanted to also share our experience with Lightfall Imagery for our wedding back in November 2024. Victoria was super professional and showed up on time and was ready to take photos from start time to a little after finish. Unfortunately our other photographer from a different company cancelled on us so she had to work a little harder for us to help fill the role for 2 photographers and she did not dissapoint. My wife and I usually are not photogenic but Victoria helped us to feel relaxed and ourselves throughout our special day. We would absolutely love to work with her again. If you are ever considering a photographer for any occasion, Lightfall Imagery is definitely a choice you can not go wrong with.
