Randall de Leon Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (51 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Pasadena, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Aladdin Films Studio - For more than 20 years, we've been changing the Wedding Video industry, making every viewer watch and listen to our couples' love story, with their heart and soul. Leave it to us and make the 2nd best decision of your life, after choosing to marry your loved one, of course :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently received our photos and video package from Aladdin Films and we couldn't be happier with the results. Their documentary film was extraordinary—it let us relive our wedding day in a way that felt genuine and special. The team responded quickly to all our questions and kept everything professional from start to finish, which made the planning process smooth. Towards the end of the night, we realized we never signed our marriage license. When I asked Ali if they could stay for a few extra minutes to capture those moments, they agreed without hesitation. All our photos and videos came back on time and are truly beautiful. One thing we wish is that they had been a bit more assertive when organizing our family photos as we didn't end up with every shot/ family groupings requested on our list. We do have a larger family which can also lead towards more chaos as you can imagine. Of course part of this was a timing issue as all photos with bride and groom together needed to be done within cocktail hour as we did not do a first look. Overall, Aladdin Films delivered exactly what we needed to remember our special day and we were absolutely thrilled with our choice to work with them. I would definitely recommend Ali and the team going forward.

Mirage and Light Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Pasadena, CA

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

Amanda was so great to work with. Her images were stunning!! But she was also communicative and helpful. She made the big day run even smoother and the couple was soo happy with their pictures.

Honeylume Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Pasadena, CA

What excites me most isn’t just photographing a wedding day, it’s delivering images you’ll come back to again and again. I focus on real connection, genuine emotion, and creating an experience that feels easy and comfortable from start to finish. Sometimes that means quietly observing the day as it unfolds, and other times gently guiding you when you needed. With nearly 20 years behind the camera, my goal is simple: to capture photographs that feel as meaningful years from now as they do the moment you see them. If you’re looking for someone who cares just as much about how your photos feel as how they look, I’d love to connect.

Working with Honeylume Photography was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Lee’s communication was always positive and timely. The quality of his work and overall value was top-notch - Lee clearly takes pride in his work. He was fully engaged throughout the process, making it a fun and comfortable experience for us. Honeylume went above and beyond to ensure we felt like the center of attention during our engagement shoot. Lee gave it his all to capture all the special moments. It truly felt less like a photographer working and more like us just having fun together. We are thrilled with the gorgeous photos that beautifully document the start of our next chapter.

Hi!! I'm Maria, photographer, mom, wife, and nacho lover. Not listed in any particular order lol Once I had my first born, I realized going back to work at CBS was not what I wanted with 12 hour workdays. I took photography classes and decided to build my own business myself. I have been photographing weddings for the last 6 years and enjoy celebrating this amazing day with all my clients. Cheesy as it may sound, I'm an absolute romantic and I relish in witnessing the love, words said, and the joy found at every wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
First off Maria is such a sweet person! She really enjoys what she does and you can tell with the way she handles everything. The package we chose included an engagement shoot and we loved our pictures! We just got married 2 weeks ago so we have not received our wedding pictures, but I am so excited because I know they're going to be amazing! She really paid attention to detail and made sure to include all the shots that we requested. She is super fun to be around as well. She will go the extra mile to make sure she gets all the beautiful shots! I can not wait to get our pictures! My whole family loved her and she even got my grandparents that DO NOT like taking pictures to take a few and I will forever cherish those pictures!! So if you're in need of a photographer don't think twice and book her!!!

I'm David Cruz, Los Angeles wedding photographer specializing in film wedding photography. I photograph weddings exclusively on Kodak 35mm film — from backyard ceremonies in Silver Lake and Eagle Rock to courthouse elopements in Beverly Hills, small weddings in Downtown Los Angeles and Malibu, simple weddings throughout Southern California, and vineyard estate weddings on the Central Coast — on real Kodak Gold and Kodak Ultramax 35mm film. ✨ published in ✨ The White Wren・Rock n Roll Bride・Boho Weddings・Bespoke Bride・About Photography・Nikon Owner・Mexico in my Pocket

David took our wedding photos and we cannot recommend him enough! We were doing a small wedding with just our parents at the Beverly Hills Courthouse and honestly didn't think much of anything, but David came prepared! He met us at the Beverly Hills Courthouse, then took amazing photos at a private residence, and we finished our session at The Peninsula Beverly Hills (for tea). He shot everything on 35mm film and delivered prints of every single photo he took so we could have as a keepsake, and be able to really see the photos in print, so when we wanted to order more, we had a real idea as to what the photos would look like as opposed to deciding from just a digital copy on a screen. We loved him so much we also had him take photos of our Baby Shower in Santa Monica. He shot those all on digital but again delivered prints of every single photo as a courtesy to us. His demeanor is calm and collected, and he goes with the flow. We cannot recommend him enough - he single-handedly is responsible for lasting memories of both of those days for us!
