Justin really nailed it. He was flexible, easy to reach, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He has a gift for capturing both the big moments and the little details, and his candid shots feel timeless. Beyond his talent, he brought kindness to our guests and patience when challenges came up. I still get endless compliments on our wedding photos. If you’re looking for someone to capture your day perfectly, I couldn’t recommend Justin more.

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

  • 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.

Sacramento wedding photographer. Army veteran. Travel addict. Storyteller. Your wedding is one of the most important chapters of your life's story. It deserves to be documented, showcased, and preserved. After eight years of photographing hundreds of weddings, I understand what it takes to capture the essence of your big day. I go the extra mile to understand your unique needs, wants, and values, and showcase your wedding memories with creative, emotional, and authentic photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our search frankly wasn’t difficult - it began and ended with Courtland! When we first started thinking about photographers, we were looking for someone personal, for someone who could capture the beauty in the little moments, and someone that could take our breath away with one picture. There was not a more important decision to us than selecting a photographer! Finding Courtland Photography was a needle in a haystack of photographers in the area; HOWEVER, Courtland’s stunning, award-winning photographs paired along with his genuine personality made this the easiest decision for our wedding. As my husband is also an Army veteran like Courtland, they bonded over their time while we drank wine prior to our engagement photos. Courtland spent more time than I expected getting to know us before taking our pictures - he wanted to ensure that he KNEW us, not just how we met, where we live, what we do. After that, it was a breeze to work with him. Our engagement photos were filled with many laughs, touching moments, and jaw-dropping pictures. Fast forward to a year later for our wedding day and Courtland was, again, nothing but amazing to work with. We’ve already received our sneak peeks (just 5 days after the wedding day) and we’re in AWE!! He captured the little moments of our nieces dancing in rain puddles all the way through the end of the evening being surrounded by our family and friends on the dance floor. Truly, easiest and BEST decision we made!

Hi, I'm Jessica! I’m a documentary wedding photographer with a passion for fine art and film photography. With six years of experience, I specialize in capturing genuine, heartfelt moments throughout a wedding. I aim to work unobtrusively, preserving the best moments without disrupting your day. And my goal is simple: I want you to enjoy your celebration - just be yourselves, and I'll create a natural, visual narrative of your love story.

My husband and I loved working with Jessica for our wedding photography. She took photos for both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day and we can't stop looking at all the photos! 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!

  • 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.

Our experience with Valley Images Photography was fantastic from start to finish. Michelle, the lead photographer, was responsive, had clear communication, and was very accommodating throughout the entire process. Her artistic and creative approach resulted in stunning, high-quality photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. Michelle started the day by beautifully photographing our wedding details, which allowed us to relax and get ready without feeling rushed. She was flexible and able to go with the flow, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, we had a wonderful experience working with Michelle and Valley Images Photography, and we are thrilled to have these beautiful memories to cherish for a lifetime.

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!

We absolutely loved having Natasha as our photographer. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable, seen, and truly cared for. She captured not just photos, but the emotions, the quiet moments, and the joy we felt with our family and friends. Every image tells a story, and looking through our gallery brings us right back to that day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or more beautiful memories. Highly recommend! She’s the kind of photographer you hire on your wedding day and want to have her back to capture the rest of lives beautiful moments.

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.

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 highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography based on the communication, organization, value, and most importantly, the final product. Gabriella was always very responsive and clear in the messages sent via the online portal when we had questions. I was a bit hesitant to book this vendor because I didn’t know anyone who’d used the company before, but I’m glad I did. We were lucky to get paired with Jared as our photographer and immediately felt comfortable with him on our virtual planning call. On the day of our wedding he was prompt and had plenty of ideas ready to go, but he was also very open to any ideas we had. He never made us feel rushed at all as you could tell he wanted to take his time to get the shots right. He was patient when necessary, efficient when necessary and always reminded us to let him know if any poses didn’t feel comfortable or natural. We didn’t have a second shooter but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at our photos as Jared managed to get great variety in the angles during the ceremony and reception. The photos are beautiful and we are looking forward to framing a few. We got the sneak peak within 2 weeks and the full photo gallery not too long after that. The only critique I have is that the florist we used was incorrectly tagged on the sneak peak instagram post, and wasn’t corrected even though I reached out via direct message and comment. The flowers were beautiful & the correct florist deserved the credit. Overall, I would definitely work with Sound Originals and Jared in particular again in the future.
