Eduardo was very nice to work with since the beginning. He is very kind and professional and just does a great job without adding any stress. He provided some portfolios of previous work he had done, which were very photo journalistic, not just the posed shots, and we knew he was the one! He definitely has an eye for placement, reflections, and catching people’s authenticity. He spent the whole wedding day with us, from getting ready all the way till the sparkler exit. I never even saw him take a break. He even ran with us to get some sunset photos at a nearby vineyard while guests were having dinner. He even got some good shots of everyone on the dance floor without being too in your face, I didn’t even notice he was there! We got all of the photos we wanted and more. Eduardo definitely doesn’t treat his clients as a number, he understands the importance of the day and ensures that he captures it in a way that tells the story of the day. Highly recommend Eduardo for your photography needs!

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

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.

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
Peter and his team at Bedrosian Photo did an incredible job capturing our wedding day. My husband and I usually feel awkward in front of the camera, but Peter made us feel completely at ease during the posed shots—and he also captured some truly beautiful candid moments of us and our guests. The quality of the photos and video was outstanding. The colors were vibrant and natural, and the video was edited perfectly. Peter mentioned that he spends about a week selecting color tones that match the couple and the venue, and it really shows in the final result. His communication with his team was seamless, and he treated our wedding with so much care and intention—it never felt like just another job to him. We're forever grateful to Bedrosian Photo for preserving our day so beautifully.

Wyld Story | Outdoor Wedding Photo & Video 
Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • 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
There were a lot of unknowns about our wedding. But one decision was easy; choosing Tucker and Alyssa to be our photographers. We have followed Tucker Horton Media on Instagram for a while before we got engaged and when we decided on a venue in southern California, we knew we had to reach out to our favorite Instagram photographers.   Their replies were quick, professional and their quotes were more than fair. We were particularly pleased to learn that engagement photos were included in the quote and took full advantage of that perk as well!   Engagement photos: One thing we loved about working with Tucker and Alyssa was how much space they gave us during our engagement shoot. With all the wedding planning in our heads, they could tell we needed a moment to relax before we could really get the pictures we wanted. Their patience and relaxed presence let us open up and capture some truly beautiful moments. Tucker can chase the light like no other and Alyssa fed us prompts when we were feeling awkward. The result was some really special moments both captured in photo, and felt by the both of us. And! The turn-around time for getting our photos back was way faster than we thought!   Wedding Day: To be frank, our wedding day was more hectic than some. Personalities clashed, and some things fell apart. Through that, Wyld Story found pockets of peace to capture some really beautiful moments and showed incredible grace under pressure.   The final pictures were beyond what we could have expected! One of which we actually turned into a 2000 piece puzzle and is currently hanging in our living room! When we went through the fullness of our wedding photos a couple weeks later, more than once we found ourselves saying, “Wait, that’s us???” just because some of the pictures were so spectacular.   One of the best parts of the Wyld Story package was being able to get a handful of sneak peak photos to pass around at dinner to all of our guests. That extra step was a way for us to keep the celebration going right after the ceremony and was an amazing surprise! We were also amazed at the number of photos we got of our guests that were taken while we were off doing other things. During our wedding day, we found ourselves pulled in so many directions as we interacted with all of our guests. After the wedding day, we got to relive different parts of our reception that we had initially missed and smile in the moments that our guests got to enjoy.

I'm Diana, the photographer behind Love and Latitudes Outdoor Wedding and Adventure Elopement Photography. My husband/officiant, Isiah, and I are here to help you plan the intentional wedding of your dreams. As full-time vanlifers, we are always looking for the next experience—no drive is too long or winding to stop us from our next adventure!

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!

Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming professional in 2017, my journey has taken me across the United States and around the world, where I've had the privilege of serving more than 200 couples on their special day. My approach to photography stands apart from traditional documentary styles. I focus on the natural colors and rich content of each moment, striving to highlight real-time emotions through thoughtful lighting and composition. My goal is to celebrate the unique narrative of every couple by capturing their happiness and love story with a distinct light-and-airy perspective.

Steven helped our friends to take their engagement photos, and my now husband and I were so impressed of his style, so when it was our time to look for the photographer for our big day, Steven was our first choice and the only photographer that we wanted to work with. Steven is friendly and easy to work with, and he is so good at capturing photos with natural lights and interactions between people. My husband and I was in a budget, but Steven was so understandable and willing to custom the package for us so that we could be within our budget :) On our wedding day everything got delayed, so we almost missed our wedding party photo session… But Steven did a great job and worked super fast to take photos for us and the photos were so great. All our friends and family love the photos that he took for us. We highly recommend Steven to everyone!

Alex Shevchik 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $999
  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

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 are beyond thrilled that we chose Shevchik Production to capture our wedding day! Alex and his team showed incredible professionalism and attention to detail. They sent us a questionnaire to understand all our preferences and scheduled several calls to go over every aspect of the day. Honestly, they cared about the locations and logistics even more than we did, which made the whole process so smooth. Our venue was quite dark, and we were worried about how the photos would turn out. But the team came fully prepared, bringing professional lighting that made everything look amazing! The photos and movie turned out bright, emotional, and absolutely stunning. We also received a luxurious, oversized wedding album with beautiful prints. Flipping through it brought tears to our eyes – it’s absolutely breathtaking! If you’re considering an album, we recommend ordering a second copy for your parents right away – they’ll love it just as much, and it’s worth it to avoid reordering later. Alex, we wish you and your team great success. You truly create magic, and we couldn’t be happier!

Cassy Velazquez Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

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.

My Husband and I were scrolling through Instagram to find our wedding photographer and came across one of Cassy’s posts. We immediately fell in love with her photography style and aesthetic. We reached out to her for our engagement session and it was absolutely wonderful. To start off, I will give HUGE kudos to Cassy for getting onto a Ferris wheel to take our engagement pictures. We later found out she was afraid of heights. This will just prove my point that Cassy will go the extra mile & what she does for her clients. During the engagement session, she helped my husband and I feel comfortable as she took our photos and once we received our photos we were so thrilled at how amazing they came out. We knew right then and there we had to secure her for our wedding date. My husband and I had never planned a wedding, & we were also looking for a videographer and had no luck in our search. I reached out to Cassy for any referrals or previous videographers she recommended. She asked us what we were looking for and what our budget was and gave us a list of videographers. We found our videographer through her and we are thankful to her because they were exactly what we were looking for. A few weeks before my wedding, I had to find a new makeup artist and Cassy came through again! She gave me a list of makeup artists and helped me find a MUA for my wedding day. Fast forward to our wedding day, Cassy & her team got there early to set up and first things first, they congratulated me. As a bride on your wedding day, it can be wonderful moment but it can also feel a tiny bit Overwhelming , like you have no control of what happens at that moment. BUT, I felt so calmed and reassured as soon as I saw her. It really helped knowing a professional familiar face on my wedding day. Having her as our photographer during our engagement and my family photography session, prepared myself what to expect on our wedding day. She made me feel assured & calm and kept us ON TIME to our wedding timeline. Cassy & her team went above and beyond to capture all of our important moments and asked for any last minute details we wanted to make sure we got photos off. My favorite part during the wedding was that Cassy was not shy to interrupt to keep us on track with our wedding timeline. And you need someone to make sure you are on track so you can get to all of your activities and make sure your photographer captures all the moments that you have planned for. Cassy worked so well with all other vendors and was professional. Cassy was responsive and on time with the delivery of our photo galleries and we loved them all. My husband and I cried all over again. Cassy was the BEST, ABSOLUTE BEST.

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!

Their attention to detail is unbelievable. There is not a single angle or moment that was missed — truly, every memory we hoped for is now documented forever because of them. Beyond their skill, they are genuinely warm, patient, kind and fun. They didn’t just photograph our wedding — they helped elevate the mood and made every moment enjoyable.

Hi, I’m Annie! Welcome to HoneyAnne Photography! I'm based in both Southern California and Virginia—sounds a little unusual, I know! My photography style combines the timeless elegance of editorial imagery with the heartfelt authenticity of documentary photography —each gallery is designed to feel like your favorite magazine spread or Pinterest board! I believe that everyone deserves beautiful, film-inspired photos that capture their story. HoneyAnne Photography was inspired by the golden warmth of honey.

It's been an amazing experience having Annie as our photographer. She helped with both the engagement and wedding photos. As someone who kept pivoting about what I wanted, she brought a lot of props to give us a lot of options for photo ideas. She also kept checking in on us to keep us updated on our planning, which I would consider going above and beyond. Her keeping on top of what kind themes we were looking for and sending us inspiration gave us confidence that we didn't have to check in on her, letting us enjoy our special day without worry. Thank you for letting us live in these memories for the beginning of our lives.

Hannah is the kind of photographer who genuinely gets excited about your vision and makes you feel supported from day one—her proactive communication and enthusiasm set the tone for an incredible experience. She captured exactly what we were hoping for with our non-traditional celebration, creating authentic moments that felt effortless rather than forced, and she was flexible enough to adjust our day-of schedule to ensure we got the shots that mattered. What really impressed us was the editorial quality of her work; she delivered a remarkable variety of images that told our story in a way that felt both creative and uniquely ours. Our guests loved interacting with her during the party, which speaks to how she brings energy and approachability to every interaction. The opportunity to collaborate creatively with Hannah made the entire process feel like a partnership rather than a transaction. We're 10/10 recommending her to any couples who want photography that goes beyond standard coverage.

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.

We had an amazing experience working with Josh! From the start, he really took the time to understand the look and vibe we were going for, and he nailed it perfectly. He was more than willing to travel to the location we wanted, which made the whole experience even more special. His attention to detail and ability to make us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the shoot really made all the difference. The photos turned out stunning, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who truly caters to your vision!

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.
