We had the absolute best experience with our wedding photographer and videographer! From the very beginning, the booking process was easy and stress-free, and their communication leading up to the wedding was amazing. They were so intentional with every detail and truly went above and beyond to capture every special moment perfectly. On the wedding day, they made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which made such a huge difference. They were professional, kind, organized, and genuinely cared about making our day special. We are beyond happy with our final photos and video — they captured our wedding so beautifully and gave us memories we’ll cherish forever. We cannot recommend them enough!

Joy Photo and Video was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and videography needs. They always answered my questions as fast as they could, which put me at ease during the planning process. I loved that I can have access to all the pictures they took, not just the edited ones. The video they put together is amazing - they were able to make it so special in just a few short minutes. The photographer and videographer told us exactly what to do and how to pose, which was so helpful since we didn't know what kind of poses we wanted. The only thing I knew I wanted was some under the veil pictures, and they made sure to get those first. I also loved knowing that if my photographer or videographer were sick that day or something happened, there would be a back-up person there to ensure our day was captured perfectly. Overall, Joy Photo and Video exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

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.

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 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.

It was serendipitous that I came across Daniel's instagram randomly in the early stages of wedding planning, and the most recent photos happened to be from the venue we'd chosen so it was clear he knew the venue and that his pictures were magical. Our wedding planners were thrilled that we had found him as they have all worked together and have a great working relationship. Daniel is exuberant and brings such authentic enthusiasm to his work. He was super helpful in the day of planning, and on the day managed our timeline with great efficiency and professionalism. All of our guests were highly impressed at his commitment to getting every shot both posed and candid of us, our families, and portraits of our guests. My husband's most important moment to capture was sunset and our sunset photos are beyond stunning. We had a really positive experience working with Daniel as a person and photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture a wedding or any special event.

Captured Cupid is based out of Sacramento, California servicing clients from around the world. Primarily started as a wedding cinematography studio that specializes in storytelling style filmmaking. We love the challenge of producing such high-quality work for each individual because the emotional response is extremely rewarding for both our clients and our team. We would love to make introductions and chat with you about your wedding or special event.

Kevin was the best investment we made for our wedding. He went above and beyond for us. He stayed late at our wedding and gave us expert tips and tricks during our wedding to create a smoother event. The biggest problem I experienced during my wedding (and I assume most other do as well) was stress. Everything was flying at me and my then fiancé and the last person I expected to help comfort me and my wife and put our minds at ease was our videographer Kevin. He handled things with such ease and calmness. It honestly felt like he was the captain that kept out ship afloat. He’s more than a videographer. He helped organize and coordinate family/games/events during our wedding and truly did more than we could have ever asked for. Not to mention he even took incredible photos for us and had a entire edited album created for us the very next day. He displays the incredible professionalism and true care for his clients. I recommend his work to everyone and anyone. He is the best investment you could make for your most important day. My wife and I can’t thank him enough for what he did for us.

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.

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!

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.
