Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience working with Jamie and Ceremony DJs can be best summed up by the fact that multiple people told us after the ceremony they wanted to book him for their wedding and at least one got his business card! I can't imagine a better DJ, truly. When we first met with Jamie, he said he could make people dance to anything and would keep people on the dance floor all night, and he WAS NOT LYING. The whole night, the dance floor was PACKED even though it was rainy/muddy/cold/wet. Jamie took us on a journey that covered all of the bases of the music we love to hear and dance to, seamlessly and magically (?) integrating genres with the best mixes, it was pure wizardry and really captured who we were. We as a couple care a lot about music and wanted music that represented who we were and what we like to listen to, and he did not disappoint! So much prep work went into this, he took patience and time to try to understand our tastes and vibe, and it was so cool to have the wedding played on vinyl- basically, Jamie just "got it" from start to finish and we had the best time! Our wedding also got delayed due to rain and a road closure and he was such a good sport, staying late to keep us all dancing for a whole other hour- so fun! Also, when our ceremony musician was stuck in traffic due to the storm, he was so prepared and had our prelude/processional music downloaded so we could still walk down the aisle to the songs we'd chosen. Overall, such a cool, kind, funny guy who was professional and prepared in every way and honest just takes time to meet and know his clients, and clearly just loves to share his love of music. I would book him for everything if I could. BOOK THIS DJ. You will NOT regret it!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We hired Ron Garcia and his team for our prenuptial photos as well as our wedding day photos, and we were so impressed by his professionalism and flexibility. He took his time and was meticulous about every pose and location. Ron truly has an eye for capturing the perfect shot. Out of all the folks we hired for wedding services, Ron and his team were by far the best decision we made. They took their roles in our special day very seriously, but they were also a ton of fun—which really shows in our final photos. Most importantly, they helped make our day completely stress-free. With them around, we never had to worry for a second that our special moments wouldn’t be captured. All of our photo sets turned out absolutely amazing, and we still get compliments to this day about the quality of our prenup photos. Thank you so much, Ron Garcia! We hope you can be there for our 10th anniversary in the future! Dan and Berna Betthauser

We’re Apollo Fotografie. When it comes to visual storytelling, we don’t miss a beat. We prioritize organization, punctuality, and beauty so your wedding day looks better than your dreams. At Apollo, inclusivity is one of our core values, and our couples come from all backgrounds. We know that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, and we’re here to help. All of our photographers use prompts and suggestions to encourage natural interactions for a less “scripted” feel.

When planning for our June wedding in Mendocino, we knew we had to get the perfect photographer, someone who could really capture the beauty of the coast and all of the vibrant colors that come along with it. After viewing tons of portfolios, Apollo's work really stood out from the rest. We loved everything we saw, from their ability to capture motion, their framing, to their vivid presentation of colors. We immediately hopped on a call with Liv, and she was super clear and up front about the whole process, which was very helpful for a couple like us who have never hired a professional photographer before. Many months before the wedding, we worked with Andra for our engagement shoot and it couldn't have gone better! Both my fiance and I are not used to being in front of the camera, so we were definitely anxious about the whole ordeal, but Andra assuaged our fears instantly. She led us around Buena Vista park and picked out the best locations with the most magical lighting like a hawk. After feeling how comfortable we were with Andra taking our photos and seeing how beautiful they came out, we were both so much more confident and excited about our wedding to come. For our wedding weekend, Andra came up to Mendocino and captured both our Chinese tea ceremony/wedding games and the wedding itself. Andra was super punctual and always at the right place at the right time. She was always where the action was, even getting a photo of my fiance catching a random bird that flew into the house! On the day of the wedding itself, Andra and her team made both the bridal party and groom's party feel comfortable, and took some of the most breathtaking shots of us on the coast. After the ceremony, she was able to get everything we wanted: candid shots of pure happiness, photos with various permutations of family and friends, and moments on the dance floor after dinner, where Andra's photos serve as a more accurate record of events than our own memories. Earlier than expected, we got an email with some teasers and we were amazed! We showed them to our friends and family and they were equally blown away with how they turned out. It definitely left us super excited for the full album! Overall working with Andra and the team was fantastic. Great communication, no logistical overhead, fun and compassionate team, and beautiful memories captured perfectly. Apollo really has the best wedding photographers in the Bay Area, and we are so glad we were able to have them come up to Mendocino to take our photos. The moments Andra and the team captured for us will live with us forever. Every time we see them, we can't help but to smile!

Hello nearlyweds! I'm Margarita, yes just like the tasty tropical drink. :) I love weddings and I always have. I have cried at all the ones I have attended, and my friends tease me because I will ask anyone who has me over to show me their wedding album! I have spent the past few years working for Wedgewood Weddings and learning everything there is to know about weddings and events. I have helped plan over 200 weddings and personally coordinated more than 120 weddings with guest counts ranging from 20-250+. Prior to that I worked in tech account management, which gave me the experience to provide you with top tier customer service.

Awarded Best of Zola
We used a Website called Mostest to find a budget friendly day of coordinator. We were initially skeptical of Mostest and how it worked, because we only meet the planner one month before the day of the event. This was only because we used a day of coordinator, rather than a full on event planner. Our wedding was 120 people at Cavallo Point Lodge. Ceremony was outside, cocktail hour was under a nice heated tent, and the dinner & Dancing was inside in a banquet hall. One Month before the wedding, We have our first call with Margarita. She was exceptional in every way. She had a template of the items that she knew we needed to think through. She then seamlessly and meticulously took the agenda from the photographer, venue, florist, caterer, DJ, and any other vendors that I'm for getting and put them into a PERFECT PDF that they each used for the coordination of the day. In total, we met with Margarita a total of three or four times before the wedding. Despite our initial skepticism with Mostest, by the day of our wedding we had absolutely question in our mind about how smoothly the day would go - and this was BECAUSE of margarita. After each meeting, she would give us a "To do" list of things we needed to decide on. At each subsequent meeting, she would circle back and cross every single T and dot every single I. We had a pretty "Involved" Wedding - a Long walk in to the ceremony from the bridal suite, father of the bride doing the ceremony, two readings by family members, A song played & sung by the sister of the bride (with an acoustic electric guitar which required an amp and a microphone setup for singing), a tree planting ceremony, personally written vows, and coordinated music throughout. Margarita had each of these things timed down to the minute (second?). If we allocated too much or too little time for one thing, she would tell us and we'd adjust accordingly. She was early to our wedding rehearsal, ready to roll in the cold Sausalito wind, and was there early on the day of our wedding to make sure that things went smoothly. By the end of the wedding, our mantra was "Just ask Margarita and do whatever she says". Because sincerely as two people who have never been married and frankly had no clue what is involved in orchestrating a wedding - Margarita absolutely cannot be beat. Even after the wedding, she somehow perfectly boxed up all of our stuff so that we could come and grab it the next day. Thank you Margarita for making this day so incredibly special for Taylor and I. We're now looking to host more events JUST so we can work with Margarita again.

  • Starts at $9,750

My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started working with Cassie, it felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. Cassie is so thoughtful, patient, and funny- and we got to experience that multiple times when we connected with her for our photography. We truly believe that her vision and personality is what makes her photos feel so authentic and filled with light love. As awkward people anxious about taking photos, we were so relieved how Cassie made us feel comfortable from the beginning of our engagement session. She was able to somehow fade into the background, while also guiding us and capturing genuine moments. We loved that photo session so much that we ended up hiring her for our welcome dinner as well! Cassie was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, making sure to get a list of our important shots ahead of the wedding while working closely with our planner to make sure there was a clear schedule. This meant that we could be as present as possible on our wedding day. On the big day, Cassie honestly felt more like a part of the wedding rather than simply a vendor. She knew how to make everyone comfortable, made sure the bridesmaids and groomsmen were having fun, and made the day feel natural for us. We got all of the wedding photos we wanted, and managed to even be AHEAD of schedule so we got to spend more time at our cocktail hour!!! Cassie’s photos capture the full range of emotions on the wedding day, because she’s able to connect deeply with her couples and understand what is important to them. Her style was something we gravitated to as we wanted a photographer who would not simply chronicle our event, but also capture the small details and genuine emotions that we might miss during the day. For both the engagement shoot and our wedding weekend, Cassie promptly delivered sneak peek highlights within a couple of days, and the full album within her initial estimate (8 weeks). She managed to capture the full essence of the day. Everytime we look at those photos, they bring us right back to those moments and feelings. We are so lucky and thankful to have had Cassie as our photographer. Hire her for your wedding! You will not regret it!!

The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Oh my goodness, where do I begin? I honestly can not even express how much I enjoyed my experience with Roberta. When I met her initially before hiring, I instantly picked up on her genuine and gentle way and knew that she would be a great fit for us on our wedding day. Fast forward to a year and change later and she was even better than I could have hoped for. She's a true master of her art. She knows exactly where to get the shot, how to make you feel completely comfortable, how to make you look natural and how to move you along in a way where you can still enjoy your party (which was really important to us). She listens to what you want and that's exactly what she gives you. All of our friends and family commented that Roberta knew what she was doing and they were right. If you have the opportunity to work with Roberta you can consider yourself lucky. You are in great hands and you will not only LOVE the photos but you'll love working with her

I can't recommend Shane O'Neill Wedding Photography enough! Had a fantastic experience with Shane and we love our photos. From our first interaction and throughout the process he was professional, prepared, enthusiastic, responsive, and open to our ideas and input. He checked in regularly with us and initiated phone calls to discuss our style preferences and plans for the day. He also took the lead on logistics for our post ceremony photo locations, all we had to do was tell him our dream photo ideas and he made it work within our time frame. He even helped us find the location of my parent's wedding photo to re-create the shot :) Throughout the day he kept things moving and super fun. We both felt comfortable in front of his camera and trusted him and his vision completely. He shared sneak peaks with us the next day and continued to send peaks until our final gallery was ready. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Shane!

Tiffany Purdy Bridal Makeup Hair Artist did a wonderful job for my wedding day. Their communication was great, and Tiffany is so sweet! The quality of their work was truly flawless - they created a natural, elegant glam look that made me and my entire bridal party feel stunning and confident. Tiffany's team kept us laughing and chatting like old friends the whole time we were receiving services. I wish I had managed our timeline a bit better or started the process earlier, as it took a little longer than expected for everyone to finish up. But overall, Tiffany and her team were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend their services.

My husband and I aren't fans of stiff, traditional wedding photos and wanted someone who does more documentary-style wedding photography. I was so glad when we found Misha. She was such a pleasure to work with and knew exactly how to handle a big family with many opinions. I've only gotten the sneak peak photos since we married only two weeks ago but I am already blown away by the results. They look like they belong in Vanity Fair. She captured such beautiful moments and I can't want to see the full set!

Artistic storytelling for the fun, kind and adventurous. Hi friend! :) I'm your neighborhood artist, goofy empath, & lover of dogs and human beans. (Name is pronounced Hasmeen, kinda like jalapeño) My goal is to be a source of joy and vulnerability in your life while helping you feel grounded on your big day and ~even more~ grateful for the life you live and the love you choose.

If you’re looking for the best Bay Area digital film photographer, look no further, it’s Jazmín! Jazmín is the sweetest and most professional person that you want on your big day. It’s like have a friend take care of you and all our guests adored her. Jazmín starts her process out and you can immediately see her kindness and professionalism. It’s a two-way interview where you feel special to be chosen by her as well. She sends out detailed questionnaires and surveys that help you navigate through the stressful times of wedding planning. I didn’t have a planner or coordinator, so it was really important to me that I fully trusted all of my vendors to operate on their own and make judgment calls that were aligned with mine. I chose Jazmín not just because I loved her photography and style, but because I fully trusted her and her personality made me feel at ease. She obviously really cared about my husband and I’s love story and wanted to make sure she captured everything we wanted. Her package included an engagement shoot where she also delivered the most amazing photos. It was great to meet her ahead of the big day to ease some nerves and also get a feel for how she likes to pose us and her style, which I loved!! Fast forward to our 3 month mark, it was time to go over our wedding timeline (again no planner). I had many gaps in my timeline that Jazmín flagged and we worked together to make it perfect, and she even booked a second call to help me finalize and feel at ease. Fast forward to the big day, she came early to scope out the venue and arrived to our getting ready location. It was hectic as I was on my bride boss duties rallying all the wedding party, but Jazmín was calm and fun and got all the excitement going to have amazing photos. I shared with her a list of poses and photos as inspo ahead of time, and she referenced them many times throughout our wedding day photoshoot making sure we got everything we wanted. Outside of photography, she helped my mom bustle my dress, cut her dinner short, and made friends with all our guests. They couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved her afterwards. We couldn’t have been happier with Jazmín and we’re so thankful to have shared our big day with her. Trust us, she’s the one!

We had such an amazing experience planning our wedding with the Golden Gate Club team! They were all so easy to work with and so responsive, and our wedding coordinator Violet had such a great attention to detail! She made the planning process so fun and smooth and we were so thankful for her. Everyone made our planning process essentially stress-free, and we had such a blast at our wedding!!

An expert on wild and beautiful locations on the West Coast (California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii) I am a full time photographer with a passion for creating timeless and candid art about your life. I service all of Southern California, Northern California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii regularly, and will travel anywhere you want me to go to document your love!

From the moment we started working with Michelle, she made us feel calm, supported, and truly cared for. On our wedding day, her presence alone brought so much peace. She felt like a trusted friend who was fully there for us and genuinely invested in making our day special. Taking photos with Michelle felt natural and easy. She guided us gently and made the experience fun and comfortable, allowing us to be ourselves and stay present with each other. Nothing ever felt rushed or awkward, just joyful and real. Michelle went so far beyond what we ever expected from a photographer. She helped us pull everything together, including picking flowers and making our bouquets when we didn’t have any. She helped with our timeline, locations, and made sure the entire day flowed smoothly. She even drove us everywhere we needed to go, all while keeping us calm and grounded. Michelle married us, photographed us, and captured video all on her own, which still amazes us. Somehow, she was everywhere at once, quietly capturing the most meaningful moments without ever interrupting them. When we saw our photos and video, we were overwhelmed in the best way. She captured the emotions, the love, and the little in-between moments so perfectly. Looking through everything brings us right back to how the day felt, and that is something we will forever be grateful for. Choosing Michelle was one of the best decisions we made. She gave us memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and we cannot recommend her enough.
