Loes Takes Clips 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves San Francisco, CA

I'm a photographer who loves, love and being able to share that through my lens is what drives everything I do. I have a deep adoration for storytelling and capturing the authentic, unscripted moments that matter most. I believe every love story is unique, and my goal is to bring excitement, ease, and a calming presence to your most important day. With a passion for preserving real emotions and meaningful memories, I aim to capture photographs that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

Logan has been a good friend of mine for years, so asking her to photograph our engagement shoot was a no-brainer for me. Her natural ability to bring any vision to life, mixed with her unwavering work ethic, is what sets her apart. I can tell her one idea I have, and she will effortlessly create something better than I could have ever imagined. We have a 1965 Corvette in our family that I thought would be cool to use as part of our shoot. I trusted her to tell us where and how we could incorporate it, and she brought our vision to life. She goes above and beyond, even standing in the middle of the road in Carmel-by-the-Sea as cars try to pass, to bring that vision to life. Also, we are far from naturals in front of the camera. I always rely on Logan to give us ideas for how to create movement and relax. Working with someone so kind and able to make you feel comfortable is crucial, because it not only creates an outcome you will love, but you will have fun doing so as well.

Khariza is such a beautiful soul and amazing photographer. Her work speaks for itself and the seamless execution from start to finish was so refreshing. My husband and I purchased her package that included an engagement photoshoot, along with our wedding photoshoot, and we also included film photography as well in our package and we are so happy we included that. They came out spectacularly. Khariza helped us from the very beginning to determine many aspects of our wedding by meeting with her and going over her forms. She also provided us with great recommendations for some of the vendors we were still looking for that we ended up contracting and loving as well! She is very well seasoned, upbeat and knowledgeable. We wanted a bilingual photographer to communicate in Spanish with some of our guests, which she fit perfectly for our needs. We are so pleased in working with Khariza and are so happy we invested in such a professional and personable photographer for our special day. Thank you so much Khariza!

San Francisco, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

Apollo Fotografie {Fine Art Wedding Photo & Video}

San Francisco, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,775
  • Offer

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.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Apollo capture our wedding day. We searched for a lot of different photographers. I wanted someone who can capture good (aka hot) bridal portraits and party pictures, and they DELIVERED. Our photos turned out so dreamy, classic, and timeless. Like seriously--I want to post them everywhere! We’ve gotten so many compliments on them. There was a little change-up, as the photographer was switched from the owner to a lead photographer Jess, but honestly, it worked out perfectly because she was such a good sport the entire day, hyped us up so much, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. That was not easy to do since we had what seemed like a million events that day. Overall they were just great to work with. We're so happy we found them. Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I are forever grateful to Vivi and her team for our stunning engagement and wedding photos. From beginning to end, it was clear that Vivi is not only passionate about photography, but about each client’s unique story and desires for their experience. She has a deep understanding of wedding planning that allows her to ensure you’re able to enjoy the day while also capturing the pictures you want. I am extremely picky about photography. After reaching out to 30 wedding photographers and interviewing 10, I knew right away when I started talking to Vivi that she was exceptional. Her photos are timeless, beautiful, balanced, and genuine. They look like fine art while also capturing the feeling of the moment. I was impressed by how she not only had an artistic eye, but is also very thorough and organized (speaking straight to my Type A heart). Her understanding of timelines, lighting, shot lists, and event flow is unmatched. Vivi is extremely professional—working quickly to share sneak peeks and edits, responding promptly, offering guidance and support, and always listening to feedback. Multiple vendors even commented on how great she was to work with. While some photographers have a “you get what you get” attitude, Vivi maintains her own distinct portfolio style while also dedicating time to understand your lighting, color, style, vibe, and editing preferences. I highly recommend booking her for both engagement and wedding photos. Not only will you get amazing photos, but you’ll also get comfortable shooting with her—which is genuinely so fun. I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun on a photoshoot than with Vivi. :) She even brought a veil and flowers to our shoot—just because she thought it would enhance the vision. That’s the kind of thoughtfulness she brings to every detail. Most of all, Vivi is genuinely a kind, funny, energetic, and empathetic person. You can tell she loves what she does through her photos as well as the positive energy she brings to every event. I honestly feel like I made a friend just as much as I found the best photographer I possibly could have. Thank you so much, Vivi and team!

Cassie Valente Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (15 reviews)
San Francisco, CA
  • Fine art style
  • 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!!

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day.

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.

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. 

Awarded Best of Zola
We adored Jazmin and our work with her was so comfortable, joyful, and ultimately resulted in stunning, dreamlike photos. We were seeking low-key, calm vibes for our wedding day, and after meeting with Jazmin, we felt immediately at ease. What initially drew me to Jazmin was her photography, of course, and her adventurous streak and love/appreciation for nature that is reflected in her work. I did not want traditional wedding photos or overly posed editorial shots - I primarily wanted big nature shots, candids, and authentic memories captured. I could tell from her other work on her website, she would be ideal for this. Additionally, I was seeking a photographer who could do film and digital photos, which Jazmin can do (plus polaroids! which I loved). On the practical and professional side of things, Jazmin also really stood out. All of her communication was prompt, thorough, and attentive. There were surveys used to get to know us / our story better and to clarify exactly what we were looking for both the wedding day and our engagement photos. She also met with us on several occasions to talk things through and make sure we were on the same page. This gave me confidence that she not only knew what we wanted in terms of photographs, but she also cared to know as a couple. On a more personal level, Jazmin immediately felt like a friend. She is our people, and we knew we would feel grateful and comfortable having her as a part of our celebration! She is kind, caring, thoughtful, intentional, genuine, and talented - what a combo! On our wedding weekend, she was great company to have AND she nailed it with the photos - couldn't have asked for a better combination.

Courtney came highly recommended to us by one of my best friends, and we truly feel so lucky that she was our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy to work with, organized, and very experienced which helped everything run smoothly. On our wedding day she felt like so much more than just a photographer — she was an extra source of support, helping guide us through the timeline, hyping us up, and making sure we were actually able to enjoy the day. It was clear she genuinely cared about making it a smooth and memorable day for us. We interviewed several photographers before choosing Courtney, and what really stood out was not only how beautiful her photos were but also how thoughtfully they were edited. When comparing her galleries to others, it was clear she puts real care and time into her editing process. She does an exceptional job editing skin tones (especially for those of us who are Asian or have tan/dark skin), making sure colors look true to life and not overly yellow or orange like we’ve sometimes seen with other photographers. Our wedding day was busy and chaotic at times, but Courtney went above and beyond helping organize people and keeping things on track. She was incredibly patient and great with kids and grandparents, and handled every situation with professionalism and kindness. She also asked thoughtful questions ahead of time to make sure she captured the moments that mattered most to us, which we really appreciated. She was also amazing at coaching us through poses so nothing looked awkward or forced. The final photos look so natural and effortless, which is exactly what we wanted. As an added bonus, she beautifully captured the love and connection between us in a way that felt so genuine. On top of everything, she was wonderful with our rowdy dog and made a real effort to include him in our photos, which meant so much to us. Overall, Courtney is not only a talented photographer who delivers stunning photos, but also a true professional who brings calm, positivity, and care to your wedding day. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Unmatched, epic, insanely talented artist and masterpiece! We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Julia Goldberg. From the very first email, zoom meetings, to the moment she arrived at our hotel the morning of our wedding to the very last minute eight hours later, she was the definition of professionalism, talent, and calm energy. Julia gave my husband and I our dream wedding day in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, direction, and posing skills made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and she somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making it so fun and natural. She was an absolute ROCKSTAR the entire day, anticipating moments before they happened and capturing them so beautifully and effortlessly. When working with her, you feel as if you’ve known her your whole life. Beyond her impressive talent, Julia is just an amazing person to be around. She is personable, friendly, kind, funny, and so outgoing—it honestly felt like we had a close friend by our side all day. That kind of presence made such a difference and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And the sneak peek photos… omg we were BEYOND blown away and I cried tears of joy and am still at a loss for words looking at them everyday! Receiving them in less than 48 hours was already impressive, but the photos themselves were beyond anything we could have imagined—stunning, romantic, emotional, and perfectly capturing the magic of our day. She is worth every penny and more! From the day I found her Instagram and website, I knew there was no other photographer I could use for our wedding. Whether you’re getting married at the iconic San Francisco City Hall, on a Safari in Africa, or under the northern lights, she has the itinerary mapped out to a T and gives you the resources to make your day absolutely seamless while always keeping you in the loop and making you feel important and valued. It was truly a dream come true to have Julia as our wedding photographer. We could not have had a more treasured and memorable day without her, and we will be forever grateful. 10000000/10 experience and I want to get married over and over just to have her shoot us again! Thank you again, Julia-you made my wedding dreams come true️

If you’re looking for a photographer, stop your search right now — Jasmine is simply the best. She was referred to us by a close friend with impeccable taste, and wow… she exceeded every expectation. Our wedding came together in less than two months (which was chaos in itself) and on top of that, she had to deal with two stressed-out gays — but somehow, Jasmine made the entire process effortless. She is incredibly flexible, knowledgeable, and just brings this calm, confident energy that instantly puts you at ease. I was lucky enough to have her shoot our wedding ceremony and I still can’t get over how amazing the photos turned out. Every shot looks straight out of a movie — I honestly don’t know how she does it. She’s detail-oriented, organized, and has this eye for capturing the little moments that matter most. After seeing how beautiful our wedding photos were (which we’ll cherish forever), I asked her to photograph my post-bachelor party — and of course, she delivered again. Beyond her insane talent, Jasmine is just a joy to be around. So easy to work with, so responsive, and she makes everyone feel comfortable. Hiring her is not just hiring a photographer — it’s an investment in your memories. I’ll be recommending her to all my friends and family. She’s outstanding.

I'm Chantalle... San Francisco and Denver based photographer! I'm your certified vibe curator and the person who will hype you up so hard you forgot you were ever nervous in front of a camera. Rizzo Photographs exists because real moments are electric and someone needs to be there to catch them. Whether you're saying "I do" with your ten favorite humans or stepping in front of my lens for a moment that's entirely yours I will absolutely make you feel like the main character. Because you are. Come ready to have fun. I'll handle the rest.

From our first conversation with Rizzo Photographs, we knew we had found the right fit. Chantalle was in one word - AMAZING. On our engagement shoot and wedding day, she had an incredible ability to put my husband at ease—he's normally camera shy, but Chantalle created such a comfortable atmosphere that he actually had fun in front of the camera. Her energy was contagious, and she captured exactly what we envisioned with a creative eye that brought our special moments to life. We could not have asked for a better photographer, and we're thrilled with how our photos turned out.

Annalee was wonderful to work with. From the initial conversation to the actual day. She had great communication and it was also awesome to see her portfolio grow while we were waiting for our own special day. Annalee was super professional and sweet to work with. She handled all the chaos of our wedding very well and I super appreciate that she was able to take control of getting the shots when things were confusing and overwhelming. It was actually really nice to be directed when theres so much going on! In regards to her work, she has an excellent eye for framing and beautiful color grading. Her vibes come off as someone who really cares about their craft, as well as you, the client! We got our photos back about a month after and feel that literally every shot is perfect. There's a fantastic mix of behind the scenes, candids, staged etc. Our photos just feel very authentic and personal. These photos really help us relive the day (best day ever!) Please hire Annalee, shes absolutely worth it. We'd love to work with her again should the occasion arise!

At Tangerine Weddings, we are a team of Bay Area wedding professionals that provides quality photography and videography coverage while making the process fun and easy for couples! Currently serving the San Francisco Bay Area and San Diego, CA for 2026+2027 wedding dates.

Working with Tangerine Weddings was wonderful. Kelsey and Sean are incredibly genuine, thoughtful, kind, and professional. We asked for their services for simple videography at our wedding, and Sean went above and beyond, producing videos that beautifully captured the day. They also delivered the edited videos very promptly. Kelsey and Sean run their business with a unique blend of compassion and talent. We were on the fence about including videography for our wedding, but are so glad we did and were so lucky to have found Tangerine. We'd already booked a photographer separately, or we would've felt confident having Tangerine handle our photography as well. We highly recommend them!

Hello, my name is Valentina! I am founder and lead photographer of "Cosmopolit Photo & Video Team". I have been photographing couples and their happiness for more than 12 years. Our clients are people who value keeping their family history for many years, and we’re happy to help them. In our work we stick to core principles - true emotions and natural posing - to catch the perfect moments. We provide not only photo and video. We are giving you a timeless result - your wedding memories.

What is the key for stunning wedding photos? Photographer's skills! And it manifests itself not only in the ability to “hold a camera in your hands” but also, and no less important, in the ability to work with people, to be a psychologist. You have both of these essential skills! We even enjoyed the process of posing because our photographer managed to create an absolutely relaxed atmosphere: we joked, fooled around and kissed - we were ourselves, and as a result, we got a beautiful and candid photos. P.S: And after the event, it was easy to contact you, you promptly answered questions and fulfilled all our requests. Highly recommend!

I'm best known for my elegant and playful small weddings photographed at the iconic San Francisco City Hall throughout the last decade. After serving many hundreds of couples there, I've taken my super powers as a creative storyteller and solver of all wedding planning problems out into the wonderlands of Northern California. Inspired by places that are stunningly beautiful yet still affordable I love finding creative twists to keep her couples excited about their weddings no matter what their budget.

I love this team so much already! They have been amazing to work with and have great communication skills from Rachel, Leza, Melika, Nora, and our officiant, Shawn. The whole process is so worth booking. As a busy couple, we needed an extra hand for our City Hall SF marriage. And they made our flowers just like we asked for! I am a social worker, and it is obvious that their team knows weddings and how to make sure the day flows smoothly. We had a snafu and the team helped us so much. I will post more of the review after my photos are sent as well. We had a fantastic day at City Hall on 10/31. Here is a cell phone photo I last min asked for :) Dog friendly is always a plus.
