I don’t even know where to begin—ConneryFilm exceeded every expectation we had. From the first email to the final delivery of our wedding photos, everything was handled with so much care, professionalism, and heart. Connery has an incredible gift for turning real-life moments into cinematic memories. What really impressed us was how he paid attention to the little things—a subtle look, a soft smile, a quick laugh—things we didn’t even realize he had caught until we saw the final photos. And let me just say, the editing was flawless. The tones, the lighting, the composition... every image looked like it belonged in a magazine. Beyond the artistry, Connery was just amazing to work with—friendly, responsive, and calm under pressure. He made us feel comfortable and at ease and somehow made the whole experience feel effortless. If you’re lucky enough to book him, do it. You’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re investing in memories that will bring tears to your eyes for years to come. ConneryFilm is truly one of a kind.

Randall de Leon Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (51 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Rancho Palos Verdes, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful to have had Randall as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding day. From start to finish, he was a dream to work with professional, warm, and so thoughtful in his approach. For our engagement session, we wanted to recreate the Japan vibes since we got engaged there, but we weren’t sure how Little Tokyo in Downtown LA would translate in photos. Randall completely exceeded our expectations. Between the Venice Canals and Little Tokyo, he perfectly captured the aesthetic we were hoping for, and the final shots were stunning. On our wedding day, Randall went above and beyond. He made my bridal party feel so at ease his presence was calm, kind, and unobtrusive, which helped all of us relax and enjoy every moment. He captured everything: the big, emotional highlights and all the small, beautiful in-between moments. Now we have a gallery full of memories that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented, easy to work with, and genuinely cares about delivering your vision: Randall is it!!! We couldn’t be happier!

Bedrosian Photo

  • Serves Rancho Palos Verdes, 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 are beyond grateful for our experience with Peter. From the very first conversation, he was so easy to communicate with and truly understood our vision. On our wedding day, he not only captured every moment exactly how we imagined, but also brought such a calm and positive energy that made everything feel less stressful. His attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture genuine emotions made our photos absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to be part of our special day. I will be recommending him to everyone I know getting married! Book him now!

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.

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
A little back story. My fiance at the time had a bad falling out with a photography company. They were not willing to perform the services how we requested and so with almost 3 weeks until the wedding I was lost. My fiance at the time had a friend who had recently got married and reached out to him for the contact info. Insert A + M Badillo. They were AMAZING from the start! Wonderful communication and helped put my anxiety to ease with their work. Fast forward to the day of the wedding and they were spot on! Made me feel comfortable throughout the entire time and took some amazing shots! I could not be happier! Now that we have recieved our photos back, people are raving about them, asking when I will send them the link so they can make copies! When we got our thumbdrive, our expectations flew through the roof yet again! They went above and beyond with a personal box with our last name burned into it and some gifts along with the thumb drive. They do not do the minimum at all and work together as the perfect pair when capturing your big day! 1000% recommend them and will refer anyone and everyone who needs a photographer to them! We will for sure be reaching out on our year anniversary to capture more moments with them!

Awarded Best of Zola
Carmen, you are absolutely amazing and phenomenal! It's been 2 months, and every time we look at the photos, we're right back to our dreamy destination wedding, reliving each precious moment you captured! Working with you was such a breeze right from the start. You're not just super professional but also have this magical way of really getting what we wanted, making sure every moment that mattered to us was caught perfectly. Our wedding in Cancun was picture-perfect, and even though it was your first time there, you explored the venue like a pro, finding all those gorgeous spots for our photos. Throughout the whole celebration, my partner and I just soaked up every minute, never having to worry about where you were or if you were capturing everything – we just knew you had it covered... and oh girl, you really did! Seeing the photos, I was just blown away. You caught every single emotion, the big, joyful moments and those quiet, intimate ones that mean so much. The way you paid attention to every little detail, catching the sweet looks and the outbursts of laughter, it’s just incredible! You’ve got this special talent for not just taking pictures, but telling our unique love story through your lens. And the photos, oh, they’re more than we ever hoped for! They’re like little pieces of art that show who we are together, and every time we look at them, we fall in love with them (and each other!) all over again. Carmen and your amazing team, a gigantic thank you for playing such a huge part in our wedding. You captured the essence of our celebration with so much love. We’re beyond thankful for your incredible talent and the unforgettable memories you’ve gifted us to hold onto forever.

Hello, I’m Chelsea !! I’m a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles. My approach is rooted in storytelling — seeking out the tender, unscripted moments. Whether it’s the quiet intimacy of an engagement session or the joyful chaos of a wedding day, I aim to preserve the authenticity of every moment with elegance and emotion. I’m a big-hearted dog lover, an extrovert who lives for connection, and a wanderer at heart — always chasing adventure & light!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough amazing things about Chelsea! From the moment she arrived on our wedding day, she brought the most calming, warm, and encouraging energy. As a plus-size bride, I was a little nervous about being in front of the camera all day, but Chelsea made me feel so beautiful and confident. She truly has a gift for capturing your best angles and making every shot look effortless, natural, and stunning. Her talent is unreal — every photo tells a story and feels straight out of a magazine. She somehow managed to capture every laugh, tear, and little detail without ever feeling intrusive. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and puts her whole heart into it. Her second shooter (and husband), Fredy, is equally amazing! The two of them work together seamlessly — it’s like watching a creative dream team in action. They caught so many candid moments that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only insanely talented but also professional, kind, and uplifting, Chelsea is the one. She made me feel radiant on the most important day of my life, and I will be forever grateful for that.

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

It was a delight to work with Stephen for our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with the photos from both our Hindu ceremony as well as our western wedding. He was flexible enough to work beyond the original number of hours on a hot Malibu day for our Hindu wedding. He sourced a great second photographer to cover all the moments in our western wedding. The pictures are mesmerizing. He really listened to what we wanted and lent his talent to provide us with terrific and special images. He captured so many candid pictures of our family and friends and it has given us a lot of joy to look at them. Stephen was professional, considerate and wonderful to work with. And his pictures show that he is a true artist! Look forward to working with him again!

I'm a Brazilian photographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, specializing in multicultural weddings since 2018. I've photographed couples from all over the world, blending traditions from the USA to India, Nigeria to Scotland, Mexico to South Korea. My style is vibrant, natural, and true to life—focused on authentic emotion and candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We discovered Gui on Zola and reached out because of his experience with photographing marriages for various cultures and from various backgrounds. Gui's photographs also caught our eye as there were great candid shots to capture the moment and sweet posed ones. When we met with Gui over zoom to get to know each other, he was kind, responsive, and knowledgable. Gui helped put us at ease, and it was a fairly quick decision to go with him after we met. We did an engagement photo session with Gui. He was very flexible when the park we wanted to do the session at was closed. We were able to pivot, and Gui took incredible photos in the new location. Gui also did not pressure us always asking if we were okay with the poses, but adjusting us for better shots. We were so happy with the engagement photos. On the day of the wedding, Gui was prompt and punctual. We took a few shots before the ceremony. During the ceremony, Gui captured all the key moments, but we also received compliments from our guests that he did not distract or take away from teh ceremony. Gui did great with the family photos and was very gracious in the many photos with friends during the reception. We cannot recommend Gui enough. His demeanor helped to relieve any stress around the photos both during the engagement session and the wedding. Gui's experience with many different couples has helped him develop cultural sensitivity which he uses to capture and highlight the unique moments of their ceremony.

Gabbie Burseth Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,200
  • Serves Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

We used Gabbie for our wedding in November of 2021. She was so professional and so kind. Throughout the process, she took the time to get to know my husband and I. On our wedding day she felt like a friend and was a welcome guest. As someone who is not comfortable in front of the camera, Gabbie always made the process feel effortless. I could not recommend Gabbie more. The photos turned out amazing and I am so excited to show them off forever.

Welcome. I'm D e r e c k. I've been doing photography and videography since 2017. It wasn't until the pandemic of last year that I decided to take a leap of faith and make it a full-time career. I feel like I've always had a burning passion for photography and editing, I love photography because it captures a moment in time. Whether that moment is your wedding day or an annual family portrait, pictures enable us to relive and remember special occasions again + again. Why I specifically dove into Wedding Photography? Simple!! My love for creativity and seeing passionate couples that aren't afraid to show their personalities

Dereck is an incredible photographer and provides very personable, professional, and timely services. I was pleasantly surprised he agreed to drive far and meet us in person before I confirmed for him to my photographer at my wedding. When we met, my husband and I felt very at ease with him as he was patient, professional, and kind. The payment process was very smooth and easy and he was clear about what would be included in the package. Dereck spent time to reach out and collaborate with me before the wedding to discuss expectations and timeline, so it calmed my nerves that he was organized during this stressful planning process. On the actual wedding day, Dereck had injured his ankle, but was clearly hustling despite his pain/injury and walking around the spacious venue to get not only get shots of my dress and personal items, but also running back and forth between bride/groom’s rooms to capture the intimate moments before the ceremony. He was committed and willing to explore the entire venue to capture photos in different locations to offer various background in our photos, which we appreciated. My husband and I are camera shy, but Dereck was very skilled in directing us in what kind of poses work best. Throughout dinner, he captured photos of all our friends/family table-by-table before taking his own meal break. Dereck provided the final photo and video product in a very timely manner and was much quicker than what I had heard from my other friends’ experiences (they said they had waited 6 months for any photos), but I only waited 6 weeks, which is completely reasonable. There was an issue with delivering the final USB, but Dereck was so dedicated he was willing to drive, once again, very far distances to drop it off at our home. After reviewing the final photos and videos, we are more than satisfied with the final product. He delivered exactly what I had asked for regarding a more dramatic effect in the teaser videos and audio vs. solely music over the highlight video. My husband and I had a super fun time laughing on our couch going through all the photos, watching all the clips, reliving the best night of our lives, and being able to watch our friends enjoy our wedding. Dereck provided numerous very well-edited photos that either fixed the lighting or captured different focuses and provided so many videos, which we truly enjoyed. I would highly recommend Dereck’s services!

Jess Onesto is an absolute dream to work with! If you are looking for a wedding photographer who will make you feel completely comfortable and capture the most beautiful, authentic moments, look no further. My husband and I have always felt awkward when we have to pose for professional photos. Jess completely changed that experience for us. She seriously made me feel like I was a model throughout my entire wedding weekend. She has this innate ability to put everyone at ease and guide you so naturally that you forget you are even being photographed. Her direction feels effortless, and somehow she captures these genuine, intimate moments. We are absolutely obsessed with all of the photos we have seen thus far (I have included some here)! Every single shot is stunning, and our entire family has been raving about them non-stop. Throughout the wedding weekend, we received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved Jess and her warm presence. She truly became part of our celebration. Honestly, I am already thinking of excuses to hire Jess again for family photos because working with her was such a wonderful experience. I truly cannot recommend her more highly!

My style focuses on natural moments, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident. From intimate elopements to grand celebrations, I document your day with timeless, beautifully edited images. Beyond weddings, I also specialize in capturing milestone moments like graduation portraits and formal events. Let’s work together to create unforgettable memories that you’ll cherish for years to come!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have known Jordan for a while as an event photographer and wasn't sure if he did grad pictures, especially for groups. I was pleased to figure out that he does grad photos too and is extremely flexible about it! I had a group of around 11 people, and he was able to give me quick responses about the rate, which was an absolute deal. Jordan really cares for his clients and makes sure that everything is discussed before the event, including an itinerary. He was extremely flexible if we needed an extra hour and potential location itinerary changes. Coordinating 11 people for a photo shoot is not easy, but Jordan managed to do it with ease, attention to detail, and efficiency! Thanks to his expertise and creativity with poses and shots, we got some amazing solo and group shots that we will remember for a lifetime. He magically makes the experience very efficient, but is also not afraid to have fun! Highly recommend!

Anya Kay Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Anya and her team were prompt, friendly and highly professional in their communication. She helped create a detailed timeline to ensure the day went smoothly, and made us feel completely at ease during our photo shoots, providing creative posing guidance. The final photos were nothing short of excellent - Anya has a truly artistic and visionary eye, capturing all the special moments of our day in a beautiful and timeless way.

We couldn't recommend Anya Kay Photography more highly for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.
