Imagery by Carissa Dugoni 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves San Francisco, CA

I’m Carissa, a California-based wedding photographer specializing in true-to-color editing, candid documentary coverage, and natural, editorial-style portraits. My work focuses on real connection, emotional storytelling, and the in-between moments that define a wedding day. With more than a decade of experience, I photograph weddings with an intentional, relaxed approach that helps couples feel comfortable, authentic, and fully present. My husband, Tyler, joins me as our videographer, bringing the same warm, storytelling-driven style to every celebration.

Ethereal, candid, jovial, refined are some of the buzzwords that the images of our oak tree & hanging lights, spring evening, 100 person ranch wedding brings to mind. Carissa made sure to get an idea of our and our family's priorities and vision for our wedding day photography months in advance. As the day approached she nailed down specifics of timing and herding those dear to us to capture everything we wanted! She has an eye for catching family dynamics, sweet background moments, and her whole team is quick to drop to the floor to get the perfect golden hour angle, play with long exposure, or get some kids laughing! They coordinated wonderfully with our other vendors throughout the day on things like equipment positioning and audio capture. We knew we would love any photos of us as a couple on the happiest day of our lives, but the width of their professional and personal vision for the whole picture is what truly captured our hearts. Thank you Dugonis for loving on us!

Love Knot Photography

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.

Clean. Simple. Minimal. Keeping a candid nature in capturing the rare and truest emotions of our couples. We believe that itself is perfection. The sight of a simple, yet bizarre snapshot of priceless moments makes it best and natural.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I feel so lucky to have found Ron and Trinity and to have booked them for our engagement and wedding photos. We had a short timeframe to plan our wedding (5 months). On top of that, we were juggling a lot in our personal lives. After experiencing a loss in the family, we had to reschedule our engagement session. Ron and Trinity were so kind and were flexible in rescheduling. When the day of the engagement session finally arrived, we were a bit nervous. Neither of us had taken professional photos before so posing didn’t feel natural. Ron immediately made us feel comfortable and then we knew we were in good hands. Fast forward to the wedding day: I was waiting inside the car while my spouse, our family and our guests were arriving and getting settled in the church. Ron and Trinity came to the car to greet me before the ceremony. It meant a lot that they took the time to check in on me. A true reflection of their kindness. Our wedding was in November and although the weather and lighting made photos a bit challenging, they still managed to improvise some nice shots after sunset. We even took photos in the busy street outside our venue. Ron and Trinity literally watched each other’s backs as cars passed by, and it was amazing to see how seamlessly they work as a team. After the event, Ron and Trinity sent us our photos surprisingly quickly! We were so excited to see them. The photos were beautiful and we loved the quality. Our family loved the quality so much that another family member now wants to book them for their future event. Thank you so much, Ron and Trinity. We appreciate your kindness and your talent. We recommend Ron and Trinity to all future wedding couples!

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 had an amazing experience with Apollo Fotografie and working with Liv. She was super easy to work with and brought a really calm, fun energy to the whole day, which made a big difference. Her style was exactly what we were hoping for. The photos feel modern and natural but still really polished. She captured so many great candid moments along with the important shots, and looking through the shots really feels like reliving the day. She was always in the right place at the right time without ever feeling intrusive. Some of our favorite photos are moments we didn’t even realize she caught. Would 100% recommend Apollo Fotografie and Liv to anyone looking for a photographer who delivers beautiful photos and makes the whole process feel easy.

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. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
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

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

Jasmine Lee Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
San Francisco, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,700

Jasmine Lee is a destination wedding and lifestyle photographer residing in San Francisco, California. She is devoted to discerning couples and individuals that value the quality of crafting artistic and timeless imagery they will cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

You deserve to look back on your wedding photos and remember how the day felt — all of your nerves, your laughter, and, of course, your overwhelming joy. Together, we'll tell your story how you want it told, striking a balance between creating gorgeous moments with documentary-style gentle observation.

Awarded Best of Zola
Annalee did such an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! My husband and I are both very awkward in front of the camera but our worries quickly faded away because of Annalee's professionalism, kindness, and creativity. Annalee was with us for 12 hours and she kept a smile on her face and did not complain once. She navigated overbearing family members, Facebook Live aunties, and the general chaos of TWO wedding ceremonies in one day. Her work is so breathtaking as she took advantage of the colors, scenery, and general beauty of our wedding. We are truly thankful for Annalee for capturing our day with such beautiful photos. She is so incredibly talented and we wish that we had another big event just so we could work with Annalee again! We were so lucky to have found Annalee as she was one of the best vendors we have ever worked with. If you hire her, you will not be disappointed.

Rachel Levine Photography

San Francisco, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,800

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Jenna Jacoby Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
San Francisco, CA
  • Editorial style

I'd consider myself to be an easy going photographer who provides a comfortable space for you to be unabashedly you. The goal is to have fun and look good doing it. I'm your third wheel friend that just so happens to have a camera. If I had to put my style into words, I'd say I strike a balance between raw, casual, organic and elevated, quirky, fun. I want your photos to feel honest as well as unique. I've always been drawn to the idea that the quality of our relationships shapes the quality of our lives. Weddings are such a beautiful reminder of that.

Jenna was an absolute dream to work with! Her photos are so artistic and effortlessly cool and she captured our wedding in a way that truly reflects how it felt. She also delivered our gallery incredibly quickly, which meant so much to us and is rare in wedding photography. We’re beyond grateful for her and would work with her again in heartbeat!

Sarah Peterson Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,888

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Sarah was enjoyable and easy! As someone who usually does not like taking photos, Sarah made the process easy and comfortable. She got all the shots we had discussed in advance and captured every special moment. Her rustic editing style was exactly what I was looking for and really highlighted our flowers, centerpieces, and color scheme. Can't recommend Sarah enough!
