The trifecta ! We are a family of photographers who set out on this venture together. We are a husband wife duo with a 13 year old apprentice. We each have our photography styles which yields entirely different perspectives and photographs documenting your event. I have been doing photography since my 20s when I built my own dark room in my house and developed my own film. From there I did weddings and events . Now 20+ years later it’s a family endeavor to help make your memories come to life. We have a small photo printer to print off photos on site so your guests have a personal party favor and you have an immediate photo to take home!

Via the Lens took this photo and I absolutely LOVE it! Thank you SO much for capturing this moment in time!

I am a father of two beautiful young kids. I do Weddings/engagements/family because they are fun to me. I don't book myself full because I don't want to lose the magic of capturing someones day, that they spend ages planning. I work with a small trusted team that together has a lot of years experience. I work every shoot to capture the emotion in which you actually felt in the moment. No Ai was used in the creation of this explanation ;)

Well if you've stumbled upon this review, consider yourself lucky that you found Jeff. Jeff was my wedding photographer, and I could not be happier. Not only was he a calm presence on our wedding day, but he also stayed later than expected when our timeline ran behind which I really appreciated. Jeff has an amazing creative eye and put so much effort in to make sure we had the best day. Thank you again Jeff for your hard work and your kindness. My husband and I printed out his photos and enjoy them everyday in our home. We are so lucky we found Jeff and I have recommended him to multiple friends, who have also been happy with his services. He's our go-to photographer for all things now including family photos!!! BOOK HIM if he's available for your date!!!

Original weddings was the perfect company for our big day! We had two photographers and one videographer and they were incredible! Our head photographer made sure I wasn't making any awkward faces and they were all incredible in making me and my husband and our party/ family feel comfortable the entire day. The videos and photos we received back couldn't be more perfect and will be something we cherish for the rest of our lives. Their communication was amazing throughout the wedding process and helped my bridal anxiety so so much! Would highly recommend

Hiring Kseni was one of the absolute BEST decisions we made for our wedding. From the beginning, Kseni was so attentive to what I wanted — every shot I hoped for, they got… and then somehow captured even more moments I didn’t even think to ask for. 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. Our guests loved them just as much as we did! If you are looking for someone with talent, heart, and a true eye for detail, I HIGHLY recommend Kseni. They will capture your day in the most beautiful and authentic way.

I personally photograph celebrations throughout Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, San Diego and Southern California, as well as Michigan.

She has such a great knowledge of wedding day timelines and acted as our wedding planner in helping us structure our day efficiently where we could take a lot of photos but also have so much time with each other and our guests. Our venue was not traditional and required a lot of moving around. Bridgette took it all in stride and helped direct us to stay on track! And her photos!! She captures incredible genuine images and has such great attention to detail. We look at our photos daily and love every one of them!

Awarded Best of Zola
Diana and Isiah truly made our elopement one of the most incredible days of our lives. From the very first meeting, Diana and Isiah were nothing but helpful, responsive, and patient. We decided shortly before the wedding that we wanted to have night shots. Diana was able to provide us with some examples of her previous night shoots and helped us pick out the perfect location. The entire planning process was significantly easier with Diana’s assistance. She also checked in just enough to ensure we were feeling ready for the big day. Isiah was able to help us decide all of the big details for our ceremony and made it feel uniquely us. On the big day, we were so thankful for Diana and Isiah. As soon as they arrived for the getting-ready photos, my stress disappeared. Diana took all the shots that we wanted and was a true professional in setting everything up. Isaiah was our officiant and did an amazing job During and after our actual ceremony, both Diana and Isiah were lifesavers. Diana was able to get photos that weren’t overly posed and really felt like us as a couple. Isiah did an amazing job with our ceremony and was also there to assist with everything else, from helping us up steep rocks to carrying items for the photos. We are so thankful we went with Love and Latitudes for our elopement. We can’t sing their praise enough, and would pick them again in a heartbeat.

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.

Everyone tells you the same thing when you’re planning a wedding, your photos matter. And honestly, they’re right. Working with Bryan and his team was such a great experience from start to finish. From the very beginning, Bryan took the time to really understand our vision and walk through the flow of the day, which made everything feel organized and stress free. On the wedding day itself, he ran the photo side like a pro...so calm, confident, and always paying attention to the details, especially lighting and timing, to make sure every moment looked its best. My husband has a background in photo/video, so our expectations were high, and they absolutely delivered. The quality of the images, the editing, and the final presentation completely exceeded what we imagined. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends, family, or anyone who wants their day captured beautifully.

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.

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.

I don't know how else to say this, but my husband and I are THE most awkward people when it comes to photos. We forget how to smile, we never know where to look, and we don't know what to do with our hands... or faces. We had a different photographer for our engagement photos and I didn't like the way 99% of them came out. We looked uncomfortable and awkward. I emailed Cassy about how uncomfortable we are in front of a camera and she called me to reassure me that she would be able to give us direction and make sure all the photos turned out great. We had a tiny micro wedding on the beach during covid with just our immediate family. I hired a picnic company to set up a tiny ceremony and hors d'oeuvres. Cassy captured all the details of the set up beautifully. My in-laws wanted a coffee table book of our wedding photos, and it was so hard to pick just a few. We got so many incredible photos! Our couples shots look like something in a magazine. She made it so fun, we never felt weird or uncomfortable. Cassy had these little tips and tricks and she'd get genuine laughter and smiles out of us. There were no forced smiles or awkward faces. When I look at my photos, it brings back all the memories of laughter and joy on our special day. I'm so grateful we found her! All our photos are light, airy, and perfect. Thank you so much, Cassy!

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!

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’m Julita, the photographer behind Photo JAM. The name comes from my initials, but it has also grown into the meaning behind my work: Just Authentic Moments — the heart of every image I create. Originally from Poland, I bring a blend of European artistry and modern, relaxed California style into each session. I'm a lover of art, music, coffee, and travel. Photo JAM is a space where you can feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated. Whether it’s a creative portrait, an engagement or wedding I focus on making the experience easy, fun, and natural. I’m passionate about making real connections with people and helping them to express who they are.

Julita's service did a family photo session for me. I'm very happy with her work. She's very open and specific in the arrangements she presents. She's cheerful and very patient. She had 7 of us adults and 1 small child (4 months old) to take care of. I was satisfied with her work and we captured some beautiful moments.

Ovation(Lite) Photography & Design was the best option we could have ever choose for our wedding. We looked for a photographer for weeks for our wedding and came across Ovation. She was beyond polite, enthusiastic, prompt and professional. Her work really showcased our love for each other at our wedding. beyond reasonably priced and fit into our budget perfectly. Our photos came out just how we wanted and she captured all the right moments. Will definitely be using her again for other events in the future
