Bedrosian Photo

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Pasadena, CA

I’m Peter, the guy behind Bedrosian Photo. I photograph weddings, people, parties, emotion, chaos, and all the weird little moments in between. I care way more about honesty than perfection — the nervous energy before a ceremony, your drunk uncle on the dance floor, your grandma crying quietly in the corner, or the split-second look your partner gives you when they think nobody’s watching. Those moments matter more than anything staged ever could.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We hired Peter and his team for both photo and video, and we couldn't be happier. Our wedding was a 14-hour day with over 350 guests, and he handled everything effortlessly. His time management, calm energy, and overall vibe made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Peter has an incredible eye for all the little moments—looking through our gallery truly feels like reliving the entire day. He captured everything beautifully, from the big moments to the candid in-betweens. Thank you, Peter, for caring so much about our day and giving us memories we'll cherish forever. Highly recommend Bedrosian Photo to any couple looking for someone who genuinely goes above and beyond.”

“We loved working with Murtaza and the MKEShoots team for our 6-event Indian wedding, plus engagement shoot. His passion for the art was so infectious, especially since it was our first time doing professional photos. It took us some time to warm up to the camera, but once we did, well, the pictures really speak for themselves. Murtaza especially has an incredible eye for creative photo ideas, and he and the team made it so much fun even though we were stressed out with all the wedding drama. They scoped out noteworthy outdoor locations that made amazing backdrops, helped corral family members together for group photos, and just generally went above & beyond to make sure we had coverage of all the important moments - all the big things and the small details too. The photos we ended up with were beyond what I imagined, I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Now, I just need someone to help put the wedding album together.... :)”

Hanna Walkowaik is a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles, California, frequenting Chicago & NYC, traveling all around the world to capture love. Hanna creates artful and storytelling images of your day using digital and film. Her photos are filled with vibrant colors, candid moments and touches of nostalgia. She mixes editorial and documentary styles to not only give you beautiful portraits and captured memories but artistic images to hang in your home. With a Bachelor of Arts degree in photography her approach is artistic, purposeful and technically skillful.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Because I am an artistic person, I knew I wanted to have artistic wedding photos and needed to find an amazing photographer. I used Instagram to do my search, but it was difficult to pinpoint exactly what I was looking for. Eventually, I settled on the word “juxtaposition” and realized I needed to find a photographer who could provide a collection of beautiful photos with lots of variety: the fun drama of editorial and the perfectly unposed/tender warmth of documentary style, shooting on digital as well as lots of film, black&white and color images, capturing the big moments and all the little moments in between, lots of detail shots, cool drone shots, getting the classic wedding photos but also photos that feel creative and thought-provoking. I wanted our wedding album to be oozing with the type of photographs that are cherished for generations, and ones that become “iconic” images showing who my husband and I are at this time in our lives. You’d think finding one photographer to accomplish all of that would be impossible. But thankfully, Instagram led me to Hanna. We met with her over zoom and signed our contract the next day. Throughout every step working with Hanna, it was clear she has so much knowledge of photography and photographing specifically weddings through years of experience. She runs her business with so much professionalism and she goes above and beyond for her couples: She did a venue walk-through with me to see all my photo location ideas and give her recommendations so that way when the wedding day came we knew exactly what we were doing and where, she met with us over zoom and helped us put together a detailed photography timeline/plan for the wedding day, she had us create a list for family photos to not miss anything, she had us fill out an online questionnaire to understand exactly what we hope for/our priorities of what to be captured, and she welcomed me sharing my collection of inspo photos/Pinterest to get an even better feel for what I’m drawn to. Then for the wedding day she had an amazing team: her second shooter, Jake, and her assistant, Sarah. Both of them were wonderful as well! Hanna truly operates like a top-tier, luxury wedding photographer. I had high expectations after seeing so many amazing images of Hanna’s other weddings on her Instagram, and yet she still knocked our socks off. I’m an actor, so I’m used to taking thousands of headshots with the hope to get 3 winner images, and achieving that is considered a successful headshot session. So for the wedding, I kind of had that perspective where if we only walked away with 25 amazing images, I’d be happy. But Hanna and her team are so, so good that I ended up with the glorious problem of being obsessed with everything because it is ALL amazing. I thought I’d be someone who only does one Instagram post of their wedding - nope, I had too much to share and it was too hard to pick favorites. Receiving the compliments from family and friends never gets old. In conclusion, every couple deserves to have a photographer like Hanna capture their day, and we feel so lucky and grateful she captured ours. Just book her already!”

I’m Adam—a Boston native who’s now roaming around California photographing everything I see. When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks. I got my first film camera when I was 8, and it was love at first sight. Capturing your story is more than just a job for me. From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We’re so happy we chose Adam for our wedding photography! Our original photographer ghosted us a few months before the wedding, and finding a new one on short notice was stressful. But it worked out perfectly—Adam was even better than we could’ve imagined. He was kind, organized, and responsive, which was such a relief after our previous experience. From our first Zoom call, I knew he’d be great to work with. He made my husband and me feel so comfortable on the big day, and he and his assistant kept us laughing the whole time. We got our sneak peeks within a week, and they were incredible! We can’t wait for the full album. Highly recommend Adam for your wedding photography!”

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.

“Honeylume Photography (Lee) was an excellent choice for our engagement shoot. He was super quick to respond to all our inquiries and was very attentive to all our needs throughout the planning process. His work came out beautiful, was affordable, he made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera, and he was very personable and fun to work with. We couldn't be happier with the stunning photos that will help us remember our engagement for years to come.”

I’ve spent most of my career shooting commercial work, but wedding photography has always come to me through friends and acquaintances. Every time the experience has been a beautiful day. So I’ve decided to lean into it. I have an editorial feel, I like to use natural light and strobes, candid and posed. Based in Los Angeles, I’m available for weddings everywhere.

“I cannot recommend Clayton highly enough. He is an incredibly talented photographer, Clayton went above and beyond to capture our wedding. When we shared our idea of capturing photos within Grand Teton National Park ahead of our Wyoming ceremony, Clayton worked with us to scout locations and woke up in the early hours the day of our wedding to capture the most amazing sunrise shots. A joy to hang out with, he made the entire process incredibly relaxed and fun. When we got our photos back they were stunning, with the prefect mix of candid moments, family shots, and amazing portraits. He did the perfect job of capturing the moment of a lifetime, and we can’t imagine having done it with anyone else.”

Perfectly Imperfect I’m David Scott Bowles a creative who swapped chef’s knives for a camera and built a world where love gets captured raw, messy, and magnetic. Ten+ years deep, I don’t just take photos I craft stories with grit and soul. Hayden & Harlo isn’t about stiff poses or picture-perfect moments. It’s about chasing sparks, breaking rules, and making art that feels alive. My style? Bold. Moody. Untamed. A little rock ‘n roll, a little luxury. This is for the lovers who laugh too loud, kiss too hard, and don’t care if their champagne spills. If you’re here, you already get it welcome to the rebellion. For those who say F*** Boring.

“David, from Hayden & Harlo, is all about storytelling and catering to his couple's needs. He goes above and beyond for them and I've seen first hand when I was a lead video and he was lead photo. He makes sure the couple is comfortable and at ease through the wedding day. What more can you ask for in a team like that. If you want to have the best wedding, Hayden & Harlo is the team that will get that for you!”
