Pink Heart Photography by Maria Evins 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,450
  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Hi!! I'm Maria, photographer, mom, wife, and nacho lover. Not listed in any particular order lol Once I had my first born, I realized going back to work at CBS was not what I wanted with 12 hour workdays. I took photography classes and decided to build my own business myself. I have been photographing weddings for the last 6 years and enjoy celebrating this amazing day with all my clients. Cheesy as it may sound, I'm an absolute romantic and I relish in witnessing the love, words said, and the joy found at every wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
First off Maria is such a sweet person! She really enjoys what she does and you can tell with the way she handles everything. The package we chose included an engagement shoot and we loved our pictures! We just got married 2 weeks ago so we have not received our wedding pictures, but I am so excited because I know they're going to be amazing! She really paid attention to detail and made sure to include all the shots that we requested. She is super fun to be around as well. She will go the extra mile to make sure she gets all the beautiful shots! I can not wait to get our pictures! My whole family loved her and she even got my grandparents that DO NOT like taking pictures to take a few and I will forever cherish those pictures!! So if you're in need of a photographer don't think twice and book her!!!

Bedrosian Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (36 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, 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!

Adam Levinstein Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (32 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Our goal for your wedding day is simple: to capture all the genuine, heartfelt moments between you and your loved ones. At the same time, I’ll gently guide you to create stunning scenes where the light, scenery, and you shine perfectly. Capturing your guests’ experiences is the other half of the equation—almost as important as the two of you. When you look back at your gallery, you’ll relive all the amazing moments you might have missed. I’m all about creating timeless photos that will grace your parents’ mantel for the next 40 years. I want to help you preserve those memories and ensure they’re never forgotten.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation with Adam Levinstein Photography, we knew we had found the right fit (we were also referred to Adam by a friend)! He listened closely to what we wanted and responded to every question quickly and thoughtfully, which made planning feel easy and stress-free. During our engagement shoot and on the day of our wedding, Adam and his team went above and beyond—he helped my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera despite being shy about photoshoots, and he helped recommend the perfect location for our bridal party photos when we weren't sure where to go. Their work is truly professional yet fun and adventurous, capturing moments that feel authentic and special. The team was super accommodating in helping us capture everything about our wedding that we wanted, from the shot list to also capturing memories in the moment. The cherry on the top was having polaroid prints of photos that were taken THAT day were printed and placed in our sweethearts' table floral arrangements as a surprise and delight! We were blown away with the sneak peeks that arrived on Monday after our Friday evening wedding—the photos were absolutely beautiful and we can't wait to see the rest. Adam and his team made our wedding day better in so many ways, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a photographer who genuinely cares.

Intertwine Films is a photo + video team capturing weddings as they actually unfold. Real moments, real energy, zero forced vibes. We focus on connection over perfection, movement over posing, and stories that feel lived-in, emotional, and timeless. If it felt big to you, it matters to us.

Our wedding photo & video experience with the Intertwine Films team was incredible from start to finish. From day one, everything felt easy, organized, and intentional. The team showed up prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and offered guidance that made it clear they truly knew their craft, and cared about getting it right. Communication was always on point. Bryan were quick to respond, kept us in the loop, and really took the time to understand our vision for both our engagement session and wedding day. On the day itself, they were calm, confident, and totally in control, in the best way. Nothing ever felt rushed. When it came to group shots, they struck the perfect balance of assertive and friendly, making sure everyone felt comfortable, included, and relaxed. And the final work? Ahhh I can't even!!! Absolute we're hoping for! Every photo and film we’ve seen is beautifully composed, full of emotion, especially the b&w. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend Intertwine Films to anyone looking for a photo & video team that brings great energy, professionalism and heart to what they do.

  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

We’re Tucker and Alyssa, the husband and wife duo behind Wyld Story. We specialize in storytelling that feels honest, effortless, and deeply you. We believe wedding photography should feel like hanging out with friends who just happen to have cameras. We’re here to document the real stuff: the belly laughs, the happy tears, the in-between moments that matter just as much as the big ones. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just you, your people, and all the magic that unfolds when you’re fully present on your day. We offer soft direction just to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wyld Story was such an amazing option for our maternity shoot. Tucker and Alyssa were efficient, timely, and clear in their communication, which put us at ease throughout the process. Their thoughtful, detailed, and professional approach resulted in stunning photos that captured the sweetness of our love for each other and our baby girl. Couples shoots can sometimes feel awkward, but Wyld Story helped us feel relaxed and like ourselves (often getting a big belly laugh out of me). Alyssa worked with me to bring my vision to life, and Tucker's skills behind the camera made it all a reality. I highly recommend Wyld Story to capture any special moment.

That’s it! If you were teetering on the edge of hiring Diana and Isiah, go ahead and take the jump— you will not be disappointed. They make every step of the process simple and even go out of their way if you have questions about permits and park rules. When my husband and I decided to elope in Death Valley NP, we found the Love and Latitudes blog and quickly knew that they were going to be a perfect fit. Isiah was a wonderful officiant, working with us to get a script that we loved and answering questions about getting the license. Diana was a clear communicator through every step, and the photos speak for themselves. We will definitely work (and hang out) with them again if we get a chance!

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We spent a long time searching for and choosing a wedding photographer, and it was so hard to decide who to go with—until we found Alex. The moment we saw his emotional and artistic photos, we fell in love with his work and haven’t regretted it for a second! It’s simply wow—we are absolutely thrilled! Alex is truly a professional, and we’re so happy we got to work with him. We’ll be recommending him to all our friends and family! Working with Alex and his team was an amazing experience. We are in love with all our wedding photos and will cherish them forever!

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

Cassy has photographed our engagement, wedding, graduation and maternity photos. This review is long overdue. She’s so communicative and professional. She’ll make you feel comfortable right away and knows her stuff. She takes beautiful photos. You won’t regret going with her for your photos for any occasion. She’s awesome and just a super nice person and wonderful photographer. For our wedding, she went above and beyond and got so many great photos. Do it, go book her now.

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

Our guests loved interacting with her during the party, which speaks to how she brings energy and approachability to every interaction.

I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

Jenny Chou Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke, they were organized, professional, and experienced, and it was clear Jenny and her team would deliver stunning, luxury photography that would capture our vision perfectly. Throughout the day, they were fabulous and OCD about getting every detail right, to grabbing photos with everyone, to the final photos, they were simply stunning! not to mention clean, gorgeous, and a true reflection of our special day. I have worked with many photographers, and Jenny Chou is hands down the absolute best I have ever worked with. I highly recommend them and will definitely be booking with Jenny again in the future!

Elise was such a pleasure to work with. She listened to the ideas we had and she also put her own twist to each photo! She made us feel comfortable and we had a blast with photoshoot for engagement announcement at Carter Este Winery and Resort in Temecula. The day of wedding she really took her time to capture each moment in the picturesque views at Temecula Creek Cottages. I love all our photos, a keepsake forever!

We are a husband & wife team located in paradise...well, we're actually in the heart of Huntington Beach, California. But it's about as close to paradise as you can get! We specialize in capturing the stories of couples who are passionately in love with each other, telling their unique and beautiful narrative through the lens. Our favorite way to tell love stories is to really get to personally know you, your future spouse, and the relationship grounded in love that has led to something truly amazing...marriage.

We found GWM on Zola from the positive reviews and we couldn't be more happy we decided to work with them! The entire process was very simple and straightforward as portal they use is user friendly and organized. Day of the wedding we had Tasha and Erin, who were just absolutely fun to work and hang out with! They truly made the day so much more enjoyable. Weddings always have stressful moments and just their presence and talking with them was so calming for the both of us. There were some photos and videos that our guests captured that also included Tasha and Erin and you can tell Tasha and Erin were genuinely happy and having fun and it really shows in our photos. We received both our sneak peaks and final wedding album earlier than we expected and were blown away by our photos! The composition of very shot looks intentional and balanced while capturing so much emotion and movement. Going through our entire album truly feels like reliving every minute of our special day. The access to the online album is so easy to access, navigate, and download - huge plus!! It is also so organized and laid out beautifully. You won't regret booking with them!
