Enea and Hailey were fantastic to work with!! I was extremely happy with how our engagement photos turned out. On our wedding day, they were prompt and ready to go. Hailey remembered all the specific shots that I wanted to get and was flexible with timing and getting extra shots that the family requested. The pictures are absolutely stunning. The video was just as incredible. The shots they got, the audio, the music, was all edited so beautifully. I have received so many compliments on how amazing the video and pictures turned out. They captured every aspect of our day that I hoped for and then some. I would recommend them to everyone :)

Original Weddings (formerly Sound Originals) delivered everything we could have hoped for and more. We just received our full wedding gallery, and the photos are absolutely stunning — over 1,300 beautiful images capturing every detail, emotion, and moment of our day. Narrowing down which ones to print and gift to family and friends is going to be the hardest part! From the very start, the entire team impressed us with their professionalism and incredible organization. Four shooters. Eight full hours. Zero stress. They seamlessly blended into the day, always present but never intrusive — giving us gentle direction when needed while allowing us to fully live in each moment. Their friendly, calming energy put us, our wedding party, and our guests completely at ease. It truly felt like they were as personally invested in capturing our day as we were in living it. The crew’s creativity, attention to detail, and personalized approach made us feel like we were in the best possible hands. They listened to what was important to us and delivered exactly that — candid laughter, emotional glances, stunning scenery, and all the in-between moments we’ll cherish forever. We are beyond thrilled with the photos, and now we’re counting down the days to see our full feature video. If it’s anything like the photo gallery, we know it will capture the heart of “Our Greatest Adventure” perfectly. Highly, highly recommend this team to anyone looking for talented, kind, and efficient professionals to document their special day!

Heather Blackwood Photography

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!

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

I could not recommend Mindy more! She was absolutely fantastic to work with and was extremely thoughtful and helpful with the entire experience. I used Mindy to capture two events, a proposal and and a surprise engagement party. For the proposal, Mindy spend a lot of time with me thinking through the right proposal spot at the location I was looking at to make sure that it worked for the photos, she even got there early to make sure that it worked. She was so well hidden to capture the proposal that for a moment I wasn't sure she was there, but she was and captured it and spent time with us after to take photos. We just got the sneak peak of the photos and they look fantastic. For the surprise party Mindy got there early and started to capture moments even before my fiancee and I arrived, she was really flexible on what worked best for the event so we can't wait to see the final photos!

You know that friend who always gets your good angles? Brings her digital camera to every event, and when it's photo time she'll fix your hair, tuck in the tag that's sticking out, move your arm just so, then pull out a flash you didn't even know she had for better lighting. That's me. I'll get shot that'll make you fall in love with you again.

Working with Ela for our Save the Date session was a wonderful experience from start to finish. She has an incredible eye for detail and guided me and my fiancé through poses in a way that felt entirely natural and effortless. Not only is the final gallery breathtaking, but Ela was professional, warm, and exceptionally talented throughout the shoot.

I capture your wedding with energy, intention, and an eye for moments that matter most. My couples get more than beautiful photos – they get someone who keeps things organized, brings a fun and calming presence, and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The result is timeless images that feel as genuine as your love story.

I’ve had my photos taken by Quentin multiple times, and every single experience has been amazing. He has this incredible ability to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, even if you’re someone who normally hates having your picture taken. He gives just enough direction without making anything feel forced, and somehow always captures the most genuine moments. When I got my gallery back, I was honestly blown away. The photos felt like me natural, flattering and full of personality. Beyond his talent, he’s simply a great person to work with professional, fun, patient, and someone who truly cares about his clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful photos and an even better experience.

I am really interested in other people. I like to find out about you. I believe we all have value, and everybody deserves to be happy. Sour Pusses are quite the bummer, and seriousness is overrated. I really believe there should be very little reason for people to not get along. EVERYONE is welcome. I LOVE nostalgia, and having my work appreciated enough to be on your walls is the best feeling. I roast my own coffee, I am a friek for Legos, old black and white movies, the ocean, the forest, the jungle, and chatting with people.

It was serendipitous that I came across Daniel's instagram randomly in the early stages of wedding planning, and the most recent photos happened to be from the venue we'd chosen so it was clear he knew the venue and that his pictures were magical. Our wedding planners were thrilled that we had found him as they have all worked together and have a great working relationship. Daniel is exuberant and brings such authentic enthusiasm to his work. He was super helpful in the day of planning, and on the day managed our timeline with great efficiency and professionalism. All of our guests were highly impressed at his commitment to getting every shot both posed and candid of us, our families, and portraits of our guests. My husband's most important moment to capture was sunset and our sunset photos are beyond stunning. We had a really positive experience working with Daniel as a person and photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture a wedding or any special event.

This post is delinquent by a couple months, but we wanted to share our memorable experience utilizing Lisa Richmond Photography. I saw Lisa Richmond's art for the first time in the fall of 2014. Lisa photographed our dear friend's wedding in Winters, CA. So, when Linda and I became engaged in 2015, we knew immediately who we wanted to record our engagement and wedding day on 9/23/16. Luckily, Lisa was available!Prior to meeting Lisa for our engagement photos, we had chatted on the phone a couple times so Lisa could get an idea about Linda and my love story. She was very easy to talk with and we had several good laughs before meeting in person. I told Lisa that neither Linda or I cared to have our pictures taken so I wished her luck with that! Lisa knew we planned on getting married at a winery and she suggested we bring a bottle of wine to open during our engagement shoot. After sharing some wine and stories together, she started working her magic. Lisa made the shoot fun and effortless so the pictures looked natural. Her use of light and her timing are phenomenal. She caught our relationship and personalities digitally!Finally, our long-awaited day came! When Lisa arrived at our wedding, we greeted her as a friend and not just a photographer, since a friendship formed between all of us. Lisa captured every moment of our special day and more. She roamed the vineyards with us to obtain the perfect sunset moments, and she was knocked around on the dance floor like a pinball by some guests getting their groove on...just so she could seize our moments! We were delighted by Lisa's artistic eye, professionalism, and her great personality. We will definitely utilize her for future gatherings as well as share a glass of wine when possible! We highly recommend Lisa if you want to beautifully capture your special occasion.

If you’ve landed here, my guess is you want the perfect balance. Someone who will give you direction during your couple’s portraits, while avoiding making you feel like you’re on the MET gala red carpet during your ceremony. I’m here to help you feel at ease, to make jokes, to reassure you everything and nothing matters all in the same breath. I take years of stealthy concert photography skills and apply that to documenting the candid familial embrace. The wild shirtless last dance of the evening. The moment when you two look at each other after all the speeches are done, and you realize how wonderful it is to be showered with so much love.

Amazing photos are just the beginning. Amazing communication, endless flexibility, and a work ethic that doesn’t quit; all wrapped up in someone who’s genuinely fun to be around. She made us feel safe and gave us the space to just be ourselves, then somehow captured every best moment… and then some. Her partner Justin was right there with her every step of the way, and the two of them made an incredible team. Coming from a groom who doesn’t even like having his picture taken ; you will not regret booking Jessie. 10/10. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts.

I specialize in portraits, weddings, elopements, and boudoir. I love the variety of photography that I offer as this builds up diverse experience and able to acclimate in all settings. In addition to my photography skills I have the flexibility to travel. I cater more towards our first responders in military.

My husband and I cannot recommend Brey enough! She is professional, charismatic, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Brey showed up to our venue on our wedding day in April 2022 and immediately started doing what she does best: creating magic with her camera! If you need someone who will get the job done, with a little spice (well, a lot of spice actually), then Brey is the photographer for you.

If you are looking for genuine warm amazing photos look no further! Hannah and Will are absolutely AMAZING! They did both our engagement photos and our big day. My husband can get uncomfortable in front of a camera and pictures can be hard to capture. Hannah and Will made us feel so comfortable and captured some of my favorite pictures of my husband. Throughout the entire process they had amazing communication, they were super organized and didn’t let the weather affect their work either! I would choose them to photograph other important milestones over and over again.
