  • Serves San Clemente, CA

I'm in love with taking photos and I spend all of my time working on fine-tuning my photography but also getting deeper than just taking photos. I am taking photos with the purpose now more than ever. Its been my years of experience that has helped me develop my photography into art and not just a picture taker. From the moment I meet my clients, I want to know as much as I can. Getting closer to a client really transcends into the photographs I am taking of them and their special day.

Toby Ogden Photography & Film was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, Toby was prompt, polite and clear in his communication, putting us at ease right away. The quality of his work is simply stunning - the photo quality is unreal, and he has such a creative and expert eye for capturing all the little moments that made our day so special. Toby knew exactly how to guide us through the process without any awkward or forced photos. I was so impressed with him that I would use Toby for any special event in the future.

Hi, I’m Annie! Welcome to HoneyAnne Photography! I'm based in both Southern California and Virginia—sounds a little unusual, I know! My photography style combines the timeless elegance of editorial imagery with the heartfelt authenticity of documentary photography —each gallery is designed to feel like your favorite magazine spread or Pinterest board! I believe that everyone deserves beautiful, film-inspired photos that capture their story. HoneyAnne Photography was inspired by the golden warmth of honey. Much like the taste of honey is comforting and sweet, I want your experience with me to feel warm, inviting, and unforgettable.

HoneyAnne Photography was a delight to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was clear, bubbly and friendly, which made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. The quality of their work was truly amazing and worth every penny. They went above and beyond to contribute to our special day, bringing fun props, scouting the venue ahead of time to find the best spots, and even drawing inspiration from our vision. We found Annie online and were immediately drawn to her whimsical and stunning photography style. Once we started chatting, we hit it off right away - she is so personable and easy to talk to. We booked her for our engagement photos and had a blast doing a fun picnic-themed shoot. I have already recommended HoneyAnne Photography to another bride, and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

San Clemente, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800

We’re Tucker and Alyssa, the husband and wife duo behind Wyld Story. We specialize in storytelling that feels honest, effortless, and deeply you. We believe wedding photography should feel like hanging out with friends who just happen to have cameras. We’re here to document the real stuff: the belly laughs, the happy tears, the in-between moments that matter just as much as the big ones. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just you, your people, and all the magic that unfolds when you’re fully present on your day. We offer soft direction just to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

We had pictures taken when our daughter was 2 months old and our son was 5 years old. They were so good and patient with the kids. At one point, I had to stop and nurse my baby and they were so flexible. They even took a few pictures of my husband and son making the most of the time while everyone waited. Now we enjoy getting to look back at those pictures and the sweet memories. Wyld Story captured that time in our lives perfectly!

I am Ashley Strong Smith, the very passionate, sincere and grateful soul behind these very time capsules witnessed within this space. Although I’ve been shooting for over a decade, ASP launched full time in April of 2015 as an all encompassing business and became a Corporation - Strong Smith, Inc. in 2018. Since then, I’ve been beyond blessed to : - Document nearly 450 sessions - Document over a 100 weddings - Receive almost 250 FIVE STAR reviews on multiple platforms - Published nearly two dozen times

I highly recommend Ashley as your photographer. I first came across her work from another friends wedding, and I specifically loved her editing/the way she captured light in her photos! The photos we received did not disappoint. I've been struggling to narrow down which ones I want to print and frame in our home. I loved the app we received within a couple days that had a bunch of previews--more than enough options to choose from for an initial Instagram post! Ashley was so sweet to work with, and made sure to capture everything we discussed in our calls leading up to the big day. It was so fun going back through all the photos after and seeing how many group/family photos she was able to capture of our guests as well. I feel like the day was documented so well and we kept getting compliments from our guests about how great Ashley was. During our guest table photos she was so efficient, but also checked the photos to make sure no one was blinking etc. before moving on to the next grouping!

Jenny Markham has been photographing weddings and love stories for over 6 years. Born and raised California girl with a love for art, vintage finds, and cooking. Documenting you for who you are. Be present and I will make sure you never forget how it felt. I want you to have an incredible experience and beautiful photos.

Jenny Markham Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Jenny was open to all of our ideas and easily accessible, making the planning process a breeze. Her whimsical style and ability to capture photos with a sense of motion and energy were exactly what we were looking for. I remember Jenny told me that she would never make us do anything just for a photo and would never make us do anything twice - she wanted our photos to be natural, which I loved. On the day of the wedding, Jenny fit seamlessly into the background, working hard to capture all of the special moments, both big and small. She found the perfect spot for our first look and even helped me recreate some shots I had seen on Pinterest. Jenny was also flexible and accommodating when we surprised her with a first look request with my dad and grandfather. We are thrilled with the beautiful, dedicated photos that Jenny delivered, and we would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer to document their wedding day.

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

Her work is absolutely STUNNING, and exactly what we were looking for: colorful, natural, editorial, and candid. She is the best of the best I wish I could get married again just to have more photos!

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

As a wedding photographer myself, I have high and clear expectations when it comes to photography. Nadia & Gunnar are my go-to photography team when I need to hire a second photographer. I have the unique experience and privilege of hiring them again and again. I never have to worry about a thing when they are on my team. Both individuals are reliable, consistent, and creative. They always show up early. They are constantly pushing their craft and trying to learn new things. They are extremely detail oriented so couples never have to worry about looking their best. Quiet in nature, Nadia & Gunnar are a calming support system on what is otherwise a chaotic day. I trust them completely with my couples and with my couples' loved ones.

"Who's that girl, it's Jess!" Hey guys, I'm Jess! I love all things New Girl, The Legend of Zelda, and Broadway Musicals! I like to describe myself as Jessica Day, minus the really talented singing voice, but just overall kind of quirky and nerdy. I love capturing love stories, and fan girling hard core over all things wedding! If you need someone who is going to help you walk through your planning process, I'm your girl! You can also catch me binge eating tacos and ice cream while editing until 3am!

If you are thinking about it, just do it. Jessica was absolutly amazing. Our photos or to die for! Not only is her work amazing but Jessica is literally the sweetest. I am not photogenic or comfortable in front of a camera and Jess and her team made me feel comfortable. We booked her along with Micah and Rebecca films and they are the perfect pair. Jessica was so helpful on our wedding day and make everything amazing. I have zero complaints. Our guests loved her and her team and had amazing things to say. I was shocked looking though my photos when I saw photos of things I never thought I would ever receive. I have a photos of almost every guest who attended our wedding. It is unreal! Jess made planning for the day so easy and picked up our timeline when my venue and planner dropped the ball. Her and her team saved the day and when things got stressful the day of, the were calm and acted like a shield for us from everything going south. Truly her work is amazing and she is worth every penny and more. Book her, add hours, and enjoy. You cannot go wrong.

I am a documentary wedding photographer blended with an editorial approach, and I aim to capture those special moments naturally as they unfold. I'm inspired by the genuine affection my clients have towards each other and look to document & craft your wedding photos with a candid eye. I don't want to dictate your day but let you enjoy your day. I may suggest small things like shooting portraits when the light is perfect, such as when the sun is going down, or I'll suggest taking a moment to embrace your partner & remind you to be affectionate on your wedding day. It's how I ensure you get beautiful natural images full of emotion.

Jesus was our wedding photographer for our special day. From our first interaction, Jesus showed confidence in his experience as a wedding photographer. He took the time to understand what I imagined my wedding photos would look like that is how he carefully planned, & captured my wedding photos. Jesus arrived 1 week early before the wedding day to scout out locations, shared photos with us, and seamlessly incorporated them into our timeline. We felt like we not only had a talented photographer, but also a day-of coordinator who helped ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He made sure we not only captured the photos we would love but also took the time and went above and beyond to take care of us as people, offering to get water and making sure we had drinks or food. Ive never had an experience with another wedding photographer but I imagine its not a level of service thats common in the industry. The variety and quality of the final photos exceeded our expectations, and we are extremely happy to have such beautiful, and meaningful heirlooms from our celebration. We highly recommend Candid Moment Photo to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

I became a wedding photographer in a not-so-usual way. I remember telling my girl scout leader that I actually hated any arts & craft we did. Fast forward to many years of sports, and the pivotal moment of entering college, I switched to photography one semester in after realizing my current Marine Biology major was not for me and decided that was where I was headed. It landed me in wedding photography after a few classmates asked me to shoot their weddings. And since I’m a romantic and all…it was a perfect fit from the start. Something you should know about me is that I love all people, deeply. “Love your neighbor” is what I strive for.

Katie is one of the amazing few photographers I refer in Souther California. Her unique style and professionalism make her stand out above the rest. I love working with Katie any chance I get!

Kay creates magic. She is absolutely amazing! We were thrilled to work with her for both our engagement and wedding photos. She is super professional, friendly, fun and such a pleasure to collaborate with. It is clear to see the care and dedication she puts into her work and into the relationships with her clients. She was a HUGE advocate for us on the day of our wedding to ensure we got photos we wanted when we wanted them. During our time with her, she guided us every step of the way, and made us both feel so comfortable. We will forever be grateful for the beautiful moments Kay captured of our special day. I vividly remember several candid moments during our wedding & ceremony where I thought to myself "I would love to keep a snapshot of this memory forever." When we got our photos back, I was brought to tears of joy, as Kay captured those exact candid moments and they were even more beautiful than I remembered. I will also say, when you get your photos back, they are ALL just so amazing, you are definitely going to have a hard time narrowing down your favorites!

Welcome!! I am Michelle, and for the past 14 years I have had the privilege of capturing countless magical moments of the happiest days of people's lives. My style is playful, romantic and genuine. I love to capture the joy and love that radiate from my couples on their wedding day, and my goal is to make you feel comfortable and natural in front of my camera. Whether it's a sweet kiss in front of a castle, or a candid moment on a carousel, I'm always on the lookout for those special moments that tell the story of your love.

Michelle was a dream to work with for our wedding. She is so organized and had such great ideas. Highly recommend her to any bride looking for an amazing photographer!

Love is Magic Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves San Clemente, CA

Orange County Photographer specializing in Weddings, Boudoir, Couples, Headshots, Family and Maternity. I create fine art wedding photography that is bold, timeless, joyful, natural and magical. I was raised on the cinema and inspired by it, so I try to bring that magic and wonderment into everything I photograph.

We could never have anticipated just how incredible our experience would be. Chanelle was more than just a wedding photographer; she became a storyteller, a confidante, and an artist devoted to framing our love in the most captivating way. But what was most impressive was her innate ability to make us feel comfortable and cherished in front of the camera. She didn’t just stage photos; she orchestrated moments. Every photo was a masterpiece. She captures not just your photo but your essence.
