I started shooting photos and video in Greece, and since moving to the US, I have dedicated myself to shooting weddings, elopements and engagements. I love being able to capture the love that my couples have for each other and the unique energy each couple has. I am always down to shoot in new locations and find the best place for my shoots!

Memo really came to the rescue when we had originally booked with a studio that flaked two days prior to the wedding. Memo was extremely patient and understanding of our situation and offered us a very generous and flexible rate to accommodate us with such short notice. He maintained a positive attitude during the whole event even when the circumstances were not ideal. Memo is very professional and friendly, you can tell he is passionate about his work. We were so happy with our photos, I would definitely book him again for an anniversary shoot or a family shoot. Thanks again, Memo. :)

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

Dana Gualco Photography

  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves S Lake Tahoe, CA

I am Dana Gualco, a natural light and golden hour photographer based in Roseville, CA, serving the Sacramento area and beyond. My passion for photography is rooted in the belief that everyone has a unique story to tell, and I am dedicated to capturing yours with authenticity. Specializing in weddings, engagements, and portraits, I focus on the meaningful details that you will cherish for a lifetime. My goal is to provide high-resolution, timeless images that reflect the raw emotion and beauty of your celebration, turning your fleeting milestones into priceless heirlooms.

From the very first conversation, Dana completely understood the assignment — our vision, our vibe, and what mattered most to us. On the wedding day, she was the definition of calm and collected. While everything else felt like a whirlwind, she was steady, organized, and reassuring in the best way. She captured the day perfectly — not just the big moments, but the subtle, emotional ones we didn’t even realize were happening. Her creativity truly set her apart. Every shot felt intentional, artistic, and uniquely us. She found beautiful light, thoughtful angles, and little in-between moments that turned into some of our favorite photos. I have worked with Dana on every milestone, from engagement photos to gorgeous family portraits. It feels like she is a part of the family and we trust her with all of life’s special moments implicitly. If you’re looking for someone who is calm under pressure, incredibly talented, and genuinely gifted at telling your story through photos, stop searching. She’s it!

  • Classic style
  • Serves S Lake Tahoe, CA

I have always had a passion for photography and once I picked up a camera, it was all over. I was raised from a big family and my kids are my world! Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have a special love for being back there. I consider myself very outgoing and will always try and make you laugh and feel comfortable by being a huge dork. I think that is one of the biggest compliments I get is that my clients always feel relaxed and at ease and I love hearing that. Not to mention becoming friends with my clients which is an added bonus! ​

Jeff was amazing! He made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and went above and beyond to “get the shot!” He has an amazing eye for detail, angle and creative shots I never would have thought of. We had a ton of fun with him getting some epic shots but also some silly ones too! I will be using him as our family photographer from here on out!

I’ve been capturing weddings, family lifestyle photography and casual portraits for more than a couple decades now working primarily in the Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Napa, and San Francisco Bay areas, as well as all along the coastlines around San Diego and Coronado and everywhere in between. I’m inspired by outdoor adventures, travel, playful people, live music and amazing light and take advantage of any opportunity to capture raw emotion and natural beauty away from home.

We hired Lisa Richmond to photograph our wedding. She took beautiful photos (in a not ideal light situation) and really captured the spirit of the event. She is a gifted photographer with a keen eye for composition and character. She really got herself into the middle of all that was happening while at the same time was unobtrusive and respectful of the guests and the event. Such an amazing combination of skills. Lisa is also a joy to work with. She has a curious mind and that curiosity draws her into her subjects and creates beautiful work. I highly recommend her.

I’m a Northern California wedding and portrait photographer with a deep love for people, connection, and honest moments.

I am really interested in other people. I like to find out about you. I believe we all have value, and everybody deserves to be happy. Sour Pusses are quite the bummer, and seriousness is overrated. I really believe there should be very little reason for people to not get along. EVERYONE is welcome. I LOVE nostalgia, and having my work appreciated enough to be on your walls is the best feeling. I roast my own coffee, I am a friek for Legos, old black and white movies, the ocean, the forest, the jungle, and chatting with people.

Daniel Cewinski Photography was an outstanding choice for our wedding photographer. From the beginning, Daniel's communication style was assertive, positive, and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. His work is truly exceptional - passionate, professional, and sophisticated. On our wedding day, Daniel paid particular attention to our needs, being extremely accommodating with our family and sunset photographs. It was significantly beneficial to meet Daniel during our engagement photoshoot, as it helped us feel secure and motivated for the upcoming wedding. Daniel made the entire experience a joy, and we are thrilled with the beautiful, high-quality photos that captured our special day perfectly. We highly recommend Daniel Cewinski Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

We want to capture it naturally while having fun and making it least stressful as possible. We would love to be apart of your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have asked for a better photographer and videographer for our wedding. Connor and Emma captured our day beautifully and were so great to work with. They made us feel comfortable in feeling like we could be ourselves and not have to worry about cameras around us. Having a Male/ Female duo had its major perks. The groomsmen and groom liked they could be “guys” around Connor and not have to censor themselves while having Emma in the Bridal suite was nice when having to put on a dress. Connor had our hi-light in less than 24 hours. At First this terrified me thinking “how can it be good he didn’t take his time” I was completely WRONG. It was better than I even imagined. Thank you both for capturing our day we are beyond lucky to have had you as part of our day.

***Please reach out via my website's contact form!! It's the best way to ensure I get to your inquiry!*** Hey!! I'm Dani 👋 — a Lake Tahoe based wedding photographer who will happily hop on a plane for a good love story. I'm a Diet Coke enthusiast, a dog person to my core, chronically online, and the kind of person who will hype you up so hard you'll forget you were ever nervous. I care deeply about the people I work with and even more about making sure you actually get to ENJOY the day you spent a year planning. I've got the behind-the-scenes handled — you just show up and have the best day of your life.

I knew from the start that I wanted Dani to capture our special day, not just because we’ve been close friends since college, but because her artistic style and deep understanding of the wedding process are truly unmatched. She has an incredible gift for meeting you exactly where you are. Even for those of us who are typically camera shy, Dani made us feel so comfortable that the magic happened naturally. She captured moments with our closest family and friends that I never thought I’d be able to see, and the results are more beautiful than I could have imagined. Beyond her stunning photography, Dani is a true professional who handles the logistics and payment breakdowns with total clarity. On the day of the wedding, she was willing to do it all, from expertly handling my wedding dress bustle to busting moves on the dance floor! Having her second shooter, Jordan, there was also a huge plus to ensure that every single moment was documented from every angle. If you want a photographer who brings incredible energy, capability, and heart to the biggest day of your life, Dani is the one!

  • Serves S Lake Tahoe, CA

Hi, I’m Moss—photographer, filmmaker, and storyteller. I’ve been capturing weddings since 2011, with over 150 love stories told. My background in shooting snowboarding, climbing, and outdoor campaigns gives me an eye for movement, emotion, and natural light. I work mostly between Lake Tahoe and Northern New Mexico, bringing calm energy and a documentary style to every wedding I shoot. It’s an honor to tell your story in a way that feels real, timeless, and true.

Moss Halladay is the preeminent professional videographer and photographer. From the start, he developed our vision for the wedding video into an actionable game plan. He guided us through the unfamiliar world of videography in a way that made it feel natural. Between researching the site, the event, and the vibe, Moss came prepared to an unfamiliar venue he seamlessly blended into. An unexpected snow storm hit on the day of our wedding, and Moss quickly adapted. He captured how the wedding party reacted and made memorable drone shots of our celebration in the storm. Throughout the event, Moss was capturing the heart and soul of us as a couple and our guests. He was enthusiastic, instructive and brought out the best in others. In addition, Moss collaborated very well with our primary photographer and quickly integrated as a team unit when needed. After all was said and done at the event, Moss promptly got back to us with our final video, which he had graciously edited in our requests. Our friends and family, and ourselves too, still marvel at the high quality of his work. If you are looking for a responsive, personable and actionable professional for your videography or photography needs, Moss is your guy.

Hello and welcome to Timeless Memories Photography! My name is David; I specialize in wedding and portrait photography. I have been doing amateur photography for most of my life. My passion for photography lead me to do photography professionally, so here I am!

We were on the fence about hiring a videographer, and we are so glad we chose Caesar and Hailee from Timeless Moments! They did an incredible job capturing our wedding, preserving all the emotions and special moments we’ll cherish forever. Not only were they a great presence on our wedding day—professional, kind, and unobtrusive—but they even traveled from out of town, which was truly above and beyond. We can’t thank them enough for their hard work and beautiful footage. Highly recommend Timeless Moments!
