  • Fine art style
  • Serves San Clemente, CA

Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming professional in 2017, my journey has taken me across the United States and around the world, where I've had the privilege of serving more than 200 couples on their special day. My approach to photography stands apart from traditional documentary styles. I focus on the natural colors and rich content of each moment, striving to highlight real-time emotions through thoughtful lighting and composition. My goal is to celebrate the unique narrative of every couple by capturing their happiness and love story with a distinct light-and-airy perspective.

To future couples seeking a wedding photographer, Steven is more than just a professional behind the camera; he is an artist who paints with light, capturing the beauty, joy, and love that define a wedding. We are eternally grateful for his artistry and dedication, and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in search of not just a photographer, but a true storyteller who will elevate your special day to a level of pure magic. Unfortunately we were only able to do a pre-wedding photoshoot with him and not our wedding day due to availability. But the pre-wedding pictures are truly precious because we can include our fur baby with us. Highly recommended doing a pre-wedding shoot especially if you have fur babies. The wedding day will be too hectic and it's hard to include your pets on that day. I can't thank Steven enough for his amazing skills in capture the best moments in such short amount of time. It was only 1.5 hours of photoshoot but the results are outstanding. Steven knows exactly what to do to make us comfortable to pose and capture not just the scenery but our emotions as well. We have done multiple photoshoots so we know how hard it is to pose and get good angles on your facial expressions. By far, the photoshoot with Steven is the best experience. It was so quick and enjoyable, we did not sweat or grow tired at all. Even the groom/my husband was having a good time with Steven, and you know how annoying men are when it comes to do photoshoot ;) If the groom love the photoshoot experience, you know this photographer is hella good :) Not only he's fast and precise in taking photos, his delivery time is amazingly fast. If I have to rate Steven, I'd give him 15/10 :) absolutely incredible job!

Cassy Velazquez Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves San Clemente, CA

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

My Husband and I were scrolling through Instagram to find our wedding photographer and came across one of Cassy’s posts. We immediately fell in love with her photography style and aesthetic. We reached out to her for our engagement session and it was absolutely wonderful. To start off, I will give HUGE kudos to Cassy for getting onto a Ferris wheel to take our engagement pictures. We later found out she was afraid of heights. This will just prove my point that Cassy will go the extra mile & what she does for her clients. During the engagement session, she helped my husband and I feel comfortable as she took our photos and once we received our photos we were so thrilled at how amazing they came out. We knew right then and there we had to secure her for our wedding date. My husband and I had never planned a wedding, & we were also looking for a videographer and had no luck in our search. I reached out to Cassy for any referrals or previous videographers she recommended. She asked us what we were looking for and what our budget was and gave us a list of videographers. We found our videographer through her and we are thankful to her because they were exactly what we were looking for. A few weeks before my wedding, I had to find a new makeup artist and Cassy came through again! She gave me a list of makeup artists and helped me find a MUA for my wedding day. Fast forward to our wedding day, Cassy & her team got there early to set up and first things first, they congratulated me. As a bride on your wedding day, it can be wonderful moment but it can also feel a tiny bit Overwhelming , like you have no control of what happens at that moment. BUT, I felt so calmed and reassured as soon as I saw her. It really helped knowing a professional familiar face on my wedding day. Having her as our photographer during our engagement and my family photography session, prepared myself what to expect on our wedding day. She made me feel assured & calm and kept us ON TIME to our wedding timeline. Cassy & her team went above and beyond to capture all of our important moments and asked for any last minute details we wanted to make sure we got photos off. My favorite part during the wedding was that Cassy was not shy to interrupt to keep us on track with our wedding timeline. And you need someone to make sure you are on track so you can get to all of your activities and make sure your photographer captures all the moments that you have planned for. Cassy worked so well with all other vendors and was professional. Cassy was responsive and on time with the delivery of our photo galleries and we loved them all. My husband and I cried all over again. Cassy was the BEST, ABSOLUTE BEST.

Hey, I am Julia. My photography style combines curated, editorial touches with authentic, candid moments. To capture the unique essence of your wedding day, I often utilize a blend of both digital and film photography. With over a decade of experience, I have spent my career learning from and collaborating with leading industry professionals.

I can't even imagine how the day could have gone without Julia. My (now) spouse and I decided to elope in Santa Barbara on a short notice and invited a few guests. Needless to say, we didn't know how to pose or act or even where to go to get the photos we had in mind. But Julia came to the rescue. From the start, she was communicative and responsive. On the day, she came prepared, having looked at the photos we had sent her for inspiration, and she knew exactly how and where to get the shots we wanted. She took a variety of funny, serious, and elegant photos, and by the end, we were all just having a laugh, including the guests. Julia really did a fantastic job, and I cannot recommend her enough to everyone. You can't go wrong!

Maddie was above and beyond anything we could've asked for as our wedding photographer. She has a gift for the craft and handled our huge wedding party like a pro. She pays attention to every little detail to get the best photos and was so skilled in finding the perfect shots throughout the weekend. We loved working with her and would suggest her to any couple across the country as she knows how to scope out any area for the best shots. Her consultation process was great, she gave us a lot of good ideas and considerations to help us make sure we got in as many good family/friend shots as possible so the whole wedding party could have nice photos to remember the weekend by as well as us. She went above and beyond throughout the wedding night, coming back to grab her camera off the clock to get a bunch of candid photos of the dance floor and reception. Thank you Maddie for capturing our special night, we loved working with you.

Every photo looks like something out of a dream natural, romantic, and full of emotion. I can’t thank her enough for making this experience so special.

My name is Mallory, and I am a fine art film wedding photographer based out of Southern California & available worldwide. Growing up I always had a creative mind. I felt drawn to the camera but never knew why, or that one day it would become one of my main purposes in life. I began my business in 2012 and can honestly say that I have never looked back. I would describe my style as delicate, romantic, elegant, but most importantly - timeless.

Mallory is the epitome of a professional photographer but embodies the comfort of a best friend. She has truly honed her craft and is wonderful to work with. She has made my camera-shy husband feel at ease during our engagement shoot, & she has incredible attention to detail. Her photos are timeless and elegant, and the photos she has taken of me and my husband are my absolute favorite. I whole-heartedly recommend Mallory to anyone looking for classic jaw-dropping film photographs they will cherish forever.

Susie is from LA, and she studied molecular & cellular biology at Harvard University (along with film and animation), before getting her MS in computer science from UChicago. While we were both in engineering, deep down, we always had a passion for storytelling. And one day, we decided that life was far too short for us not to do what we loved: creating and sharing real stories.

I don't think there are words to truly express how much Anatoliy K, Susie, and team made our wedding photo dreams come true. From a perfect engagement shoot on the beach to our big day in a spring garden - the photos say it all! Each moment and detail was so perfectly captured, and made our hearts burst looking at each picture. We are truly blown away by the high-quality, attention to detail, and gorgeous compositions that came out of such a creative team. Once I saw AnatoliyK Weddings on Zola, they stood out, and they truly delivered. It was SUCH a pleasure and joy working with Anatoliy and Susie from the beginning to end.

I first began taking photos when my son, Andrew, was born in 1998. He is now my second photographer. I started my wedding photography career in 2000, working for a wedding studio part-time. In April 2019, I started as a full-time wedding photographer to pursue my life time goal. I would love to capture your unique love story!

Justin is an absolute blast to work with, I'm so glad we had him as our wedding photographer. Not only did our photos turn out incredible but he was so much fun to have as a part of our wedding. He's extremely interactive and involved, during our reception if he noticed someone on our dance floor trying to take a selfie he'd jump in with a spotlight so that their person photos would turn out great too. I just love how thoughtful that was! He caters to your wants for photos, while he guides and advises for what will look best he also listens to your ideas and makes sure that you get the photos that you want. Justin has an amazing personality, while very professional, he also had us cracking up the whole time and made our photo sessions not only moments that we had our photos taken but memories that make me smile and laugh when I think back on them. Rather than a vendor that we hired, Justin immediately felt like a friend that was celebrating with us. I highly recommend him and cannot thank him enough for all he did to add to our day and capture all the amazing moments for us.

From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations. She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever.

The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out.

In addition, at each step during our wedding day, she made us feel comfortable through our various photo sessions, ensuring we had food, water, and drinks at the ready when we needed them. Prior to our wedding day, Leslie's communication and scheduling with us was flawless. She was extremely considerate of our wants and needs and curated a shot list that was perfect for us. Overall, I'd recommend Leslie Joy Photography to any and every couple getting married in the Southern California area.
