My name is Shannon Van Groningen, as a California and destination wedding photographer, I specialize in bright, timeless, and true-to-color wedding photography that ensures every detail and emotion is beautifully preserved. From the iconic landscapes of California's Bay Area, South Lake Tahoe, and Southern California to luxurious destinations across the U.S., I’m here to document your love story in a way that feels natural and timeless.

Shannon took our engagement and wedding photos, and we are absolutely in love with them!! Her ability to capture candid emotions while also giving direction to us while taking photos was awesome. My husband and I always worry about being stiff or awkward in photos, and Shannon did an excellent job at making us comfortable in front of the camera- dare I say it was even fun!! Our pictures turned out gorgeous and I get messages from family members every day telling me how beautiful they are. Thank you SO much Shannon :)

I am Amber, and I make up Amber Enos Photography. I am sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It is all very exciting, but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You are planning the day that you have been anticipating your whole life, and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as your photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it is a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
My now husband and I were looking for a photographer as soon as we got engaged. We came across Amber Enos photography while searching online. Much to our surprise she was available on our wedding date!!! We met with her to have a talk and she went over what to expect and answered all of our questions. As soon as we booked Amber, we received a package on our door step! It was a couple books that she had made of engagement sessions and the wedding experience! Inside was full of information on ideas for the engagement photos, as well as what to expect on the wedding day. During our engagement session, Amber made it so fun and so easy to be photographed! Afterwards, my fiancé said to me “that was so much fun! Amber is so nice and bubbly and she feels like a good friend just taking pictures of us!” The photos turned out AMAZING and we were so happy with the quality of work. Before our wedding day, she was very informative and also made sure to capture the things that were important to us. Our wedding was the hottest day of the year…112 degrees! But it didn’t stop Amber and her husband Jason. They had smiles on their faces and got the job done! The photos all turned out amazing! I printed some of our photos and used the company she recommended. It’s worth using it for the print quality of the photos. We will definitely be using Amber in the future for family photos! We highly recommend Amber Enos Photography! You will not be disappointed!

Vic was the best photographer my husband and I have ever worked with!!! We hired her for our wedding and she was so professional and fun to work with. My family, bridal party and guest loved her! Vic had us laughing the entire time and made us feel comfortable with posing and suggested us the best ideas too. After a week or 2 after the wedding we got our photos and they were breathtaking!! Most photos I didn’t realized she captured since she was so quick on her feet. It looks like there was 3 photographers since she got all angles from the ceremony, speeches, and dances. We are so impressed by how amazing she is. We highly recommend her to photograph any event you have and want to make sure everything is captured!

Dani shot our engagement session in Indiana (where we live) and our elopement in Colorado. We vetted SO.MANY photographers and the long search ended up with Elle & Co Photography and we are elated with our choice! Dani's professionalism is top-notch and she's also so fun to be around. She has a talent with her profession but her passion puts her over the edge. Dani's knowledge for locations helped us nail down the perfect elopement spot. She also nailed down our vision for our engagement session location; she is well versed in locations all around and we were thankful for all the help in planning that. The day of our elopement had unpredictable weather and I didn't want to get wet and be rained on. Dani was able to execute a plan for us to elope later in the day without any stress or hassle. She had new timeline and plans over to us immediately so we could have the perfect outside elopement and the day turned out amazing! Jed (her PHENOMENAL second hand man) brought & put up a pop up changing tent for us so I didn't have to hike in my dress the whole time. Our elopement was everything we wanted and more thanks to Dani & Jed & Elle & Co Photographer. Thank you forever!

Lo's desire is to deliver images that allow you to step back into your wedding day and relive your happiest moments. A photographer you can trust and have a connection with!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

Heather was wonderful to work with! We are the awkward type in front of a camera, but working with Heather made everything seem so stress-free during our wedding planning and photo sessions. Our engagement photo session was fun and care-free and we unbeknownst to all of us, she actually ended up taking beautiful photos of our beautiful rabbit, Trixie before she passed on the following month. Something that we truly appreciated and will never forget. For our wedding, Heather was very detailed and gave us a run down of what to expect for the photos. Nothing was hidden and she was up front about it all and asked if we wanted to add anything as well. Although Mother Nature had other plans for the day, we were still able to get the majority of our photos done. She even snuck in polaroid photos that were just too adorable - And I have no idea when she even took them! We received our wedding photos back and everyone absolutely loves them. I just love her style. While there are some photographers who do a large amount of filter/presets (no shade to those who do), there's just something about Heather's style of being able to keep it clean and natural that I just love! With Mother Nature having other plans with making it a misty ceremony and a downpour reception, we did miss out on doing a handful of photos of cocktail hour. Because of that, Heather was quick to offer us a bridal session to take some additional photos to complete our wedding. Instead of returning to the venue, we actually decided to relocate to Fort Bragg and take photos at the Mendocino Garden. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous with the oceanic background and the dahlias that she chose to work with. She made everything seem so light-hearted and there was so much laughter with each session. Thank you Heather for everything you did throughout our wedding planning and so much more. You've captured so many wonderful moments and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

  • Serves Paynes Creek, CA

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Azaria not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.

However, after just one call with her, we felt completely confident that she was more than capable of capturing our wedding, and she definitely exceeded our expectations! From the very beginning, she was easy to communicate with and always responsive to our questions or concerns. We were particularly impressed by how she remembered all the little details we discussed over multiple conversations, ensuring the day was captured exactly as we envisioned. The entire photo experience was effortless and enjoyable, and we ended up with stunning photos that we absolutely love. The value we received for the quality of her work far exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the PNW. Thank you so much, Lauren, for creating lasting memories from our unforgettable day!

Your wedding deserves more than just photos—it deserves an experience. With over 15 countries captured, I create timeless, editorial, and emotionally rich images that transport you back to the moment. Every glance, every touch, every fleeting second—preserved with artistry and intention.

Where do we even start? Choosing Moments by Frank was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We knew we wanted a photographer who wouldn’t just take beautiful pictures but would truly capture how the day felt—and wow, did they deliver. Looking through our photos and watching our video was emotional in the best way possible. It wasn’t just a collection of pretty moments—it was our wedding, exactly as we remembered it. The joy, the happy tears, the way our families looked at us, the little in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening… they caught it all. It felt like stepping right back into that day, and we can’t stop looking at them. But what made the experience even better? Frank and his team felt like old friends. From the moment we inquired with him, he was so friendly and social and so easy to get along with him. On the wedding day, they blended in so seamlessly with our family and friends, making everyone feel comfortable. The last thing we wanted was to feel like we were stuck in a never-ending photoshoot, and they got that. They let the moments unfold naturally, gave just enough direction when needed, and made sure we could actually be present on our wedding day. If you’re looking for a team that’s not just talented but also genuinely amazing to be around, this is it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

From the moment we booked Prest1ge Photography for our wedding, their communication was amazing and timely. On the day of our wedding, they kept us on our timeline and even helped the groomsmen with their ties, showing their attention to detail. The quality of their work was flawless - the photos were absolutely beautiful and creatively captured all the special moments of our day. We couldn't be happier with the value Prest1ge Photography provided and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
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. For example, Michael and Angela had memorized the names of our family members in advance, which made the group photos seamless and efficient. We couldn't have asked for better photographers to capture our special day. The photos are airy, bright, and perfectly capture all the details and couple shots. Angela and Michael made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and blended in seamlessly with our wedding celebration. There is no one better we could have had for our wedding photography.

Hi, I'm Treiva.. The owner and lead photographer of Sugar N Spice Photography located out of Central Ohio. Photography has been my passion since I was 15 years old. I can remember getting my hands on my first camera and knowing this is what I wanted to do forever. For me, I love the feeling I get when I know I captured that special moment for you and your family... knowing it will last forever.

Sugar N Spice Photography was exceptional from start to finish. They communicated exceptionally well throughout the entire process, always keeping us informed and addressing any questions or concerns we had. The quality of their work was incredibly professional, and their pricing was very reasonable for the level of service they provided. They went above and beyond on our wedding day - not only did the photographer meet with us beforehand to help plan out our timeline and photography wishes, but she also brought an emergency kit with her that came in handy when a few unexpected issues came up. When some last-minute delays occurred, she helped keep us calm and on track. We were so impressed by her attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. We would recommend Sugar N Spice Photography to any couple looking for a fantastic wedding photography experience!

Hi! My name is Marsha and I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer in Central California with over 15 years of experience. I love going above and beyond for my clients giving them the ultimate experience!

Awarded Best of Zola
Marsha has been taking our Mommy and Me photos since 2012. When it was time to get married in 2018, I didn’t hesitate to call her. I knew that I wanted to have Marsha capture one of the best days of our lives, so I booked my photographer, before even scouting a venue. She is sweet, funny, and flexible, all while remaining professional. Her honesty is genuine and she wants the best of what you aim to achieve. If you don’t know it, she’ll guide you there. She makes things fun and comfortable for everyone. I adore her and you will, too!
