Lou Grace Photography 
Rating: 4.8 (16 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Sacramento, CA

Hey y'all, I'm Meagan! This is typically the section where I should hype myself up, but instead, I’m going to actually tell you about me! I am a Northern California couples, elopement, and wedding photographer who encourages all my clients to include their dogs! Wondering where Lou Grace comes from? My business name is a tribute to my late grandfather, my guardian angel, and greatest supporter. I drink iced coffee year-round and I prefer Dutch Bros over Starbucks. I love country music but listen to just about everything and love a good song recommendation. Also, I’m obsessed with my dogs! Let me know if we have anything in common :)

Meagan was as easy and comfortable to work with as a best friend on my wedding day. She checked in with me throughout the day, gave me clear cues to look good and kept the whole experience with photos so lighthearted and fun. She pulled me away for photos at the perfect times so that I was actually able to enjoy my entire wedding day without feeling like it was one big photoshoot. I even got all my photos done in time to enjoy almost my entire cocktail hour! The photos she sent literally the next morning made my friends cry they were so beautiful. The work speaks for itself!!!

Annie Hall Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Sacramento, CA

This is for you, couples who have too many moments to be present for. You’ll have photographs that show the heart and soul of the day without having to stage or fake things for the camera. I'll make images that help you remember what happened, who was there, what it looked like, and what it felt like.

Awarded Best of Zola
It's easy to look through Annie's photos to see how amazing they are -- I loved her style from the moment I saw her galleries and I was hopeful that our photos would look just as great. Guess what, they are amazing!! She also delivered ALL of our photos in 4 weeks, when she herself got married 2 weeks after us! Maybe the most important piece of guidance that she gave us was to take as many family photos before the event as possible. That way you can focus on the fun once it starts. And let me tell you -- that was good advice. I didn't want to spend a second on more staged photos once the party had started! We actually got to attend part of our cocktail hour because of this. Of course every event is different, but my point is that she will be able to guide you in the right direction because she has a ton of experience. I loved working with her and you will too! Also I didn't even include the best shots because I want to keep our faces off the internet, but look at the range just in these photos! So fun.

Courtland was my dream photographer but with him being in California and we were in Colorado I didn't think I'd be able to afford him. But after no luck with local photographers I called Courtland and that was the best decision. Courtland was available every step of the way. From our first zoom call to him arriving in Colorado for our big day. He reached out throughout the planning process keeping things on a great timeline to getting certain aspects complete. He took the time to get to know us as a couple in great detail and asked questions no other photographer had asked. Our pictures turned out Amazing and we got so many compliments and people were amazed with the final product. Courtland helped ease my mind on the big day he showed up and was checking in with me he even got me food and drinks while I was in make up. Courtland captured us as a couple as well as our family and friends. He captured every emotion down to the tears of joy on our secret dance.

She is a great communicator and just lovely to be around. She made posing for photos feel easy and natural. We went with both digital and film and are super happy with how both styles turned out. The quick turnaround for sneak peeks was also a huge plus. We can't recommend her enough!

Valley Images Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Sacramento, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,950

I have been photographing couples for nearly 13 years and have loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed following them through engagement, wedding, maternity and now family sessions. I have even become life long friends with some of them. I am a mother of 3 and have always loved art, and once I picked up my camera and found a way to tell others love stories, I knew I found what I was supposed to do.

Michelle is so easy to work with, helped my husband and i (and now my kids) feel so genuine and at ease during photos. My husband does not like taking photos but is always willing to indulge me when we book with Michelle as it is always a fast session and we get fabulous photos. She did our engagement, wedding, and now does all our family photos! The images are returned quickly and our photo book with our wedding package is amazing and was hand delivered to us!!

Hi, I’m Natalya! I started Captured Memories officially in 2023 but have been doing photography for over 5 years now. I started with family sessions and more business minded sessions rather than weddings but after doing my first wedding for a friend I was hooked! Being able to help capture your special day, all of the memories from it and celebrate with you such an amazing milestone is my absolute pleasure. I love being your hype vendor and friend on your day as well as assistant. So let me know how I can help you!

As a bridesmaid, I had the chance to see firsthand how amazing she is to work with. She made the entire bridal party feel comfortable, confident, and at ease, even during busy and emotional moments. She was organized, calm, and knew exactly how to guide everyone while still keeping things fun and natural. Watching her capture the bride and groom’s special moments was truly impressive, and she never missed a beat. When I later saw the photos, I was blown away by how beautifully she captured the emotions and details of the day. Any couple would be so lucky to have her as their wedding photographer.

Wendy is the bubbly redhead (with freckles of course) that has been behind the camera at The Freckled Photographer for over six years. Despite her lively personality, this woman gets down to business and is one of the most organized you will ever meet, working seamlessly with your wedding day schedule. She loves to capture the images that her clients expect, and many more candid moments that showcase their personal story.

When the pandemic hit our wedding ceremony was delayed, so my wife and I opted to have a mini ceremony at her parents house. Wendy was very accommodating given all the restrictions at the time and did a wonderful job capturing the evening! Even though it was only my wife's parents in attendance (and two dogs) the photos are incredibly beautiful and really captured how special that day was for us.

Hi! I'm Amanda. I never need an excuse to road trip or dance like no one is watching and my soul would probably shrivel up and die without music and high five moments. Finding kindred spirits is the best medicine and I will stop at nothing to savor a fleeting moment. Helping you look and FEEL amazing is literally the best part of what I get to do! I thrive on making your photos a completely comfortable, fun and utterly painless process! I absolutely LIVE for this.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Amanda for our engagement photos. Our 2 dogs were part of the session and she is great at working with pets! We also booked her for our wedding photos and absolutely loved working with her. Amanda previously took my brother’s wedding photos and I particularly love how she is able to capture the emotions in each photo. My husband and I are both shy and awkward in front of the camera, but Amanda has the ability to put you at ease and she guides you in a way that makes you feel and look your best. I was nervous on the wedding day with everything going on and she really helped both of us relax with her calming presence. We had a small, intimate wedding with a little over 40 guests and I am so impressed with how Amanda captured beautiful moments from every angle, especially during our ceremony. I had no idea she was moving around everywhere until I saw the photos! If you are looking for a responsive, professional, and talented photographer, I highly recommend Amanda. We cannot thank her enough and will look back on these photographs fondly in years to come.

Booking Liz as the photographer for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Liz was really a joy to work with, and the quality of photos is top-notch. We picked her because she's skilled at combining wedding and nature photography (we really wanted the beauty surrounding our wedding venue to shine) as well as capturing candid moments throughout the day. Some things that really stood out for us: • Super-organized: When we were trying to pick a location for our engagement shoot, Liz shared PDFs with photos and pros/cons of places around Lake Tahoe, as well as samples of some photos from past shoots at each place. • Flexible and accommodating: We ultimately needed to reschedule our engagement shoot due to poor weather. Liz had no problem changing the date the day before. When we both realized later that we'd unintentionally rescheduled the shoot for Easter, she graciously still drove up to Tahoe that evening for our sunset photos. • Made us comfortable: During both our engagement shoot and on the wedding day, Liz easily shifted from directing photos when needed to stepping back and getting candid shots of us all. We felt very natural and comfortable throughout. • Speed! Liz was SO FAST at getting us sneak previews of our photos (often within a day or two) and the full set of photos (4-6 weeks). • And of course, photo quality. Adding photos so you can see for yourself! So grateful to have booked Liz!

I have loved photography since high school in the 80s. I have an amazing day job where I have worked for 20+ years so I sincerely don't do this for the money. I really just love photography and weddings in particular. I try to keep the prices reasonably priced to cover my costs and gear but really I want you to have professional pictures and still have money for things like a honeymoon :)   

I've worked with Robert McBride of McBride Pictures on multiple weddings, and it's always a pleasure. He's responsive to my emails, easy to work with on the wedding day, and quick to turn around the photos, which always look beautiful. I think my couples have felt comfortable with him behind the camera, guiding them into poses that will look flattering in the final photos. I'm always happy when I have a wedding with Robert!
