Hi! I’m Jason. I’m a Malaysian-born wedding and portrait photographer living on the California Redwood Coast, serving couples from San Francisco up to Portland. I’m drawn to honest moments and quiet connection. The kind of photos that feel like you, not like a photoshoot. My approach is laid back and guided. We’ll talk through what matters to you, I’ll help shape a plan & vision, and on the day I’ll give easy direction when needed while keeping things natural. You’ll end up with photos that feel filmic, timeless, and emotionally true.

“We cannot recommend Jason enough! We hired him for our wedding at the Little White Chapel in Vegas, and he absolutely exceeded our expectations. The photos are stunning, and he did an incredible job finding the best spots around the venue for unique shots. What really stood out was his ability to give direction, he told us exactly what to do to get those fantastic shots, which made us feel so comfortable. On top of his talent, his attitude was amazing. He was friendly, engaging, and fit right in with our guests. If you are looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and a joy to be around, look no further!”

Welcome! I'm Kenneth! Photography started for me by capturing little moments in my children's lives and their real personalities. Rather quickly photography went from a hobby to a part-time job. I loved pushing myself to be better and challenging myself to shoot a variety of genres. I photographed my son at a baseball field in his uniform and I fell in love with what I was able to create. I was getting photographs that could not be done with natural light alone. Landscape photography has since taken a back seat. Portraits, weddings, and events have become my main focus. Still always trying to be better, for myself and all of my clients.

“Eivan's photo and video services were very affordable and were a major reason why we went with them. I think the photos we received turned out very well and captured many of the amazing moments that we had at the wedding. The service we paid for only included one photographer and one videographer but they were both very attentive and made sure to be where the action was the entire day. Overall, the experience was positive and for a bride who was more focused on living through the experience of her wedding, Eivan's did a good job of handling the stuff you don't really want to think about.”

“This review is long overdue! Mostly because my wife and I have been 'honeymooning' these past few months but we wanted to also share our experience with Lightfall Imagery for our wedding back in November 2024. Victoria was super professional and showed up on time and was ready to take photos from start time to a little after finish. Unfortunately our other photographer from a different company cancelled on us so she had to work a little harder for us to help fill the role for 2 photographers and she did not dissapoint. My wife and I usually are not photogenic but Victoria helped us to feel relaxed and ourselves throughout our special day. We would absolutely love to work with her again. If you are ever considering a photographer for any occasion, Lightfall Imagery is definitely a choice you can not go wrong with.”

Whether you're enjoying wedding planning and excited to choose a photographer, or ready for the entire shindig to be over, I want to help and support you from right now until the dance floor, while creating dramatic images that tell a story of you two, your day, and your unique brand of love. Take a look at my full body of work on my website, and if you like what you see and read, let's have our first conversation!

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment we first spoke with Johnny, we felt an immediate sense of comfort—like we were talking with someone who truly understood us. His laid-back energy, his sincerity, and his passion for what he does made us instantly certain he was exactly who we wanted capturing our day. Every step leading up to the wedding felt smooth and stress-free because of his experience and calm presence. Johnny’s photography style is nothing short of magical. His use of natural light, his eye for emotion, and the way he captures the truth of a moment is something I genuinely believe you can’t find anywhere else. Every photo feels alive—authentic, elegant, and beautifully raw. When Johnny and Alegre arrived on our wedding day, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. They didn’t just take photos; they cared for us. They brought peace into the chaos, helped with little last-minute things without hesitation, and made everyone—family, friends, wedding party—feel completely at ease. They weren’t just photographing the day; they were protecting it, preserving it, and supporting us through every moment. Throughout the night, they checked in, offered gentle reassurance, and gave us small pockets of calm when everything felt overwhelming. Those moments meant more than they’ll ever know. By the time the evening came to a close, it truly felt like we were saying goodbye to friends we had known for years. If you’re looking for more than photographers—if you want people who will capture your day with soul, heart, and artistry—choose So Behold This. Their work is breathtaking, their presence is grounding, and their kindness is unforgettable. Our photos and memories are priceless because of them.”

“Unmatched, epic, insanely talented artist and masterpiece! We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Julia Goldberg. From the very first email, zoom meetings, to the moment she arrived at our hotel the morning of our wedding to the very last minute eight hours later, she was the definition of professionalism, talent, and calm energy. Julia gave my husband and I our dream wedding day in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, direction, and posing skills made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and she somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making it so fun and natural. She was an absolute ROCKSTAR the entire day, anticipating moments before they happened and capturing them so beautifully and effortlessly. When working with her, you feel as if you’ve known her your whole life. Beyond her impressive talent, Julia is just an amazing person to be around. She is personable, friendly, kind, funny, and so outgoing—it honestly felt like we had a close friend by our side all day. That kind of presence made such a difference and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And the sneak peek photos… omg we were BEYOND blown away and I cried tears of joy and am still at a loss for words looking at them everyday! Receiving them in less than 48 hours was already impressive, but the photos themselves were beyond anything we could have imagined—stunning, romantic, emotional, and perfectly capturing the magic of our day. She is worth every penny and more! From the day I found her Instagram and website, I knew there was no other photographer I could use for our wedding. Whether you’re getting married at the iconic San Francisco City Hall, on a Safari in Africa, or under the northern lights, she has the itinerary mapped out to a T and gives you the resources to make your day absolutely seamless while always keeping you in the loop and making you feel important and valued. It was truly a dream come true to have Julia as our wedding photographer. We could not have had a more treasured and memorable day without her, and we will be forever grateful. 10000000/10 experience and I want to get married over and over just to have her shoot us again! Thank you again, Julia-you made my wedding dreams come true️”

For the past 6 years, George has been filming the most important events of our lives. There are more than 1000 of his pictures in family albums, which we review every time with great joy and nostalgia! Our wedding, the birth of children, walks, trips to Altai and Baikal, Geogry was always happy to agree to all our crazy filming ideas and the result always exceeded expectations!

“From the first email inquiring about her services, I knew Calea was going to be wonderful to work with! She had a very quick response time and worked with me to figure out the best package for our special day. Leading up to the wedding, Calea was readily available to answer any questions I had and even helped me with a timeline for the day. On the day of our wedding, Calea drove to a neighboring county from our venue for us to be able to get some first look and family photos done before the ceremony. I was worried about what types of poses we'd do but this worry quickly went away as Calea makes you feel completely comfortable and fully guided us through all the photos, making it an enjoyable experience rather than a stressful or uncomfortable one. She captured every single detail beautifully. Venue, decor, detail shots, vendors, cake & dessert, various views during the ceremony, guests, dancing, special moments, etc. She stayed beyond the agreed upon contract time just for us to be able to get the perfect sunset shots in the vineyard. This really showed her dedication to her work and to her clients. I love the sneak peek photos she sends and the turn around time for all the entire album was very quick and they sure did NOT disappoint. I was overwhelmed with how beautiful all the photos came out. She is truly talented and it shows in her work. My husband and I are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Calea and love looking back on our special day that she captured so perfectly! Thank you Calea!!”

“From the moment we connected with Ali Cushing Photography, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Ali's communication was always timely, thorough, and friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. Her work was truly amazing - she perfectly captured our vision and was able to fit so many beautiful, thoughtful, and personal photos into a short time frame without making us feel rushed. Ali was more than prepared on the day, even having extra bobby pins on hand to help bustle my dress. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured our wedding day timeline stayed perfectly on schedule. We are overjoyed with the final photos and cannot recommend Ali Cushing Photography highly enough.”

“I can’t stop looking at the photos and video, they captured every emotion perfectly. From the bride walking down the aisle to our family laughing during dinner, everything was documented beautifully. They were incredibly patient with all the kids and elderly guests, which I really appreciated. The video editing was flawless but still felt natural, not overdone. They made sure no detail was missed, even the little decorations and smiles in the crowd. I felt like I was reliving the day every time I watched it. Their professionalism was unmatched, and they somehow made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The way they captured genuine laughter and happy tears was amazing. My friends who saw the photos said they were some of the most beautiful wedding photos they’d ever seen. I’m so grateful for the memories they’ve preserved for us.”

“If I could give Brayley more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!! From the very beginning, she was amazing. She was so communicative when I was first looking for a wedding photographer, and as the wedding got closer, she was always quick to answer my questions and put my mind at ease. She made the whole process feel so much less stressful. On our wedding day, she was everything we could have hoped for. She was friendly, organized, and so helpful, and she truly helped the day run smoothly. She made my husband, me, and our entire wedding party feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which made such a difference. She was also just so much fun to be around. She brought the best energy all day and was the sweetest hype woman and cheerleader, which I absolutely loved. She made us feel so confident and made taking pictures feel easy. When she sent us our sneak peeks, we were honestly blown away. My stepmom and I might be a little biased, but we both agreed they’re some of the most beautiful wedding photos we’ve ever seen. We are absolutely obsessed with them!! Brayley is so talented at what she does, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, and we’re so grateful she was part of our wedding day.”

“We honestly couldn’t stop smiling going through our photos — every single one felt like a little time capsule. They captured my grandma’s teary eyes during the vows, the wind catching my veil just right, and even the chaotic magic of the dance floor (yes, including the flying shoe). The video felt like a movie trailer of our day — not cheesy, not overdone, just beautifully honest. I didn’t realize how much I’d treasure the in-between moments until I saw how perfectly they were caught.”

I’m Kirstin! An emotionally driven, film-forward wedding photographer based in the desert Southwest. I work with wildly-in-love couples who want their wedding to feel like them: artful, offbeat, deeply intentional. I photograph elopements and micro-weddings with a storytelling lens- capturing not just how your day looked, but how it felt. My work blends digital + 35mm film to preserve the honest, unposed, heart-full moments in all their textured, tear-filled, windswept beauty. My couples tend to be nostalgic, a little nontraditional, and full of feeling. If that’s you- you’re in the right place.
