  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Portola, CA

Hello my name is Makayla and I am a California based destination wedding and elopement photographer (MN based as of July 2026). My objective is to capture your love story and to bring your dream day to life! Let’s capture these special moments to keep for a lifetime together.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Makayla and could not be happier with the results. Makayla has a beautiful eye for photography and light. Makayla captured both our wedding and our engagement photos. She was professional, quick to respond and willing to try different types of styles in our engagement photos so we could choose a style we wanted for our wedding. I would and have recommended Makayla to friends and family. Wedding planning can be expensive but I think Makayla is worth every penny especially if you are doing a destination wedding. Overall I think what sets Makayla apart from other photographers was her complete respect for what we wanted as a couple, both for privacy in what we wanted featured on her accounts, and also how we wanted photography to be incorporated into our wedding day (giving us the space during vows and not always feeling like it was a photo shoot). She was also honest throughout the process in what she could and couldn't do regarding lighting and weather and was one of the few photographers that we talked to that had clear price points on her website that you can find without asking! If you are on the fence with other photographers I recommend choosing Makayla. We are so happy with our photos and that we hired her.

Jen Peterson Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Portola, CA

HELLO THERE! I’m Jen! A Portrait, Wedding, and Real Estate photographer located in the beautiful Northern California area. With many years of experience and a consistent style; I deliver images that are radiant, joyful, and everlasting. But even more than the photos I deliver, I believe that my clients deserve the BEST photographic EXPERIENCE possible. I am a mom and step-mom to four beautiful children and am a devoted wife to Matt (who is also my second shooter on wedding days as a matter of fact!). I’m so excited that you stopped by, I would love to learn more about you!

My husband and I recently had the privilege of working along Jen and her husband Matt as our wedding photographers. A week before our wedding, we received some unfortunate news that our original photographer was no longer able to shoot our wedding, based on an unfortunate situation. Immediately, she reassured me that we would be in the best hands with Jen Peterson Photography. As you can imagine, that's a lot to take in so close to your wedding day, but as soon as I spoke to Jen on the phone (whom I've never met), all my nerves slipped away! It was as though I had known her for years. She truly is the most kindhearted, genuine, and uplifting person I've ever had a chance to work with! The fact the her and Matt graciously agreed to shoot our wedding, no questions asked and so last minute, speaks of their character. Fast forward to our wedding, they far exceeded every expectation we had! From wrangling in two extended families, to dealing with the sweltering summer heat, nothing stopped them. Throughout the entire day, she made sure EVERY photo was perfect. Also, I can honestly say that in all the weddings I've attended, I never witnessed a photographer mingle amongst the guests to take their photo's to help the bride and groom relive their special day. While we were eating, Jen and Matt choose to take a break, instead, they captured so many wonderful, memorable photos of our guests that I am forever grateful for! Small details such as those are things you don't think to ask for, but they they took the initiative, and for that, I can not thank them enough. After our wedding, I was equally as impressed by how quickly Jen submitted our proofs to us. Upon reviewing them, EVERY single moment of our day was captured. The quality of our photos were breathtaking! Please do yourself a favor and use Jen Peterson Photography for your special day. You will be thoroughly impressed by their expertise , quality of work, and as a result, you'll be gifted the most amazing photos to look back on for years to come.

From the moment I first spoke with Johnny, I knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding day. His communication style was always professional yet funny, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of his work was truly exceptional - he had incredible ideas and executed them perfectly, capturing all the best moments of our special day. I have a horrible memory, but every time I turned around, he was there, almost as if he could see exactly what I wanted and needed pictures of to remember the day. My now husband *hates* his picture taken, but even our posed photos never looked stiff or awkward thanks to his expertise. Johnny was as sweet as can be and truly did the absolute best work. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our wedding celebration.

I am honored to be entrusted with depicting genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizing precious memories. I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.

“True Light” is the perfect name for Calea’s photography business as she absolutely embodies this. From the moment Calea arrived she exuded such a warm, calming presence that made me and my whole family feel totally comfortable, which was so important especially while I was getting ready and the nerves were getting to me. She was stellar at coordinating with the videographers, and when she had me and my husband “model” for her it was very clear how to pose and I must say, the photos look incredible. She has a beautiful eye. Right after the wedding she started sending us shots and posting on Instagram which was so fun to see, and she get us our full gallery well before the three week timeframe. The photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly capture the warmth, love and beauty of the day. We are so so happy! 10/10 would recommend Calea, she is the best!

Jones Media Photo & Video was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From our first interaction, their communication style was easy, kind, and comfortable, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly top-notch - they were professional, careful, and creative, with a keen eye for capturing all the special moments that made our day so unique. They beautifully documented every detail, from the key moments of our ceremony to the small, intimate exchanges between us and our loved ones.

I am a California-based wedding photographer specializing in hybrid 35mm film and digital coverage for couples who value authentic, emotional storytelling. With over 10 years of experience, I takes a documentary approach—focusing on real moments, natural movement, and timeless imagery. Based in California, I offer fully customizable, a la carte collections including full-day wedding coverage, intimate elopements, engagement sessions, additional photographers, and optional Super 8 films. My work is ideal for laid-back, intentional couples drawn to the texture and nostalgia of film with the reliability of digital.

Holly was the best investment of my entire wedding. She not only delivered incredible engagement photos but the most magical wedding photos I could have ever hoped for - and I’ve only seen the sneak peeks! Her editing skills are also so precise and iconic - I love all the photos and she nailed the photos of my and my fiancee, which was my priority. Her energy is also so down to earth and relaxed which made me and my fiancé feel at ease with the photos. I look forward to having another party just so I can hire her again :)
