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 
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 Photography

Sacramento, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900

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
Courtland is one of the best wedding photographers out there. When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we had a few other photographer plans fall through and we couldn't be happier that we were referred to Courtland. From the very beginning Courtland was constantly learning more about us as people to get a better idea of what we wanted in our wedding photos. During our wedding, he made us feel comfortable and helped us throughout the process (as a hobbyist photographer myself, I feel very uncomfortable being on the other side of the camera) with getting us in the perfect position and lighting to create some amazing photos. He had us fill out information about ourselves and when we had our wedding photo reveal, he got us gifts from the questionnaire he had us fill out earlier, which made it feel all the more personal to us. We are very happy to be his "Clients for Life" and we highly recommend Courtland to anyone.

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.

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.

Love is the foundation of every milestone thereafter and there is just something about it that I can’t get enough of! Every love is unique and it is truly a passion of mine to authentically capture it in whatever way is unique to each story.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Nichole at Mates of Soul! From the moment we met, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Neither of us are big “posed photo” people, but Nichole captured everything so naturally — every smile, laugh, and candid moment felt so genuine. She has the best personality — fun, upbeat, and such great energy — it honestly felt like hanging out with a friend who just happened to be taking the most beautiful photos ever! She got every shot I hoped for (and then some!) and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. Our photos are absolutely stunning, and every time I look at them, I’m reminded of how fun the day was. I’d recommend Nichole a thousand times over to anyone looking for not only incredible photos, but an incredible person behind the camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Our wedding was September 5, 2025 & we needed two photographers to capture a key moment (his perspective looking down the aisle & mine looking up the aisle). We also wanted a videographer to capture the entire ceremony & reception. I saw the great reviews & contacted George Street. I was impressed by their prompt response & the options they provided for us. We got to preview some of the photographers past photos to ensure we are captured how we want to be captured (I wanted more candids than posed photos). Our lead photographer, Colleen was absolutely amazing & so was the assistant photographer, Cyion. The pictures turned out gorgeous along with the video from our wedding date. Thank you to Colleen, Cyion, Nikeem & George Street for capturing our wonderful day. I CAN'T recommend y'all enough!
