I strive to capture meaningful photos in a way that feels true and unique to who you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

We had an amazing experience working with Pluvia Studios as our wedding photographer and videographer. He was incredibly intentional and truly listened to the shots and edits we wanted, which made the final video feel so personal and meaningful. Especially since our wedding was at different locations in San Francisco, Presidio, and our local church, I loved how our package cohesively looked natural, fresh and beautiful. During our first intake call he was concise and walked through the package we were interested in. We were in awe by the timeless and beautiful photo gallery and videos we received that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. JayDee was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We’re so grateful to have our day captured so beautifully and highly recommend him and his team.

Our photos feel magical and timeless, striking the perfect balance between classic wedding pictures with thoughtful creative details and artful documentary images.

We have received endless compliments from friends and family, not only on the photos themselves but also on how incredible Misha and Zaiah were to work with. They brought warmth and intention, gave extra attention to any special circumstances, and somehow managed to create meaningful moments for everyone there. In our final gallery, beyond our own portraits, we found amazing candid images of our family and friends that we now plan to gift to them. It was an unexpected and truly special bonus. Worth every cent and more. We highly recommend adding the film as well! :) Thank you both so much!!! Galen & Mickayla

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
5 stars doesn't seem like nearly enough recognition for Jazmín and her absolutely beautiful work. From day one with us, she was incredibly kind, and sought out to learn more about us as both individuals and as a couple, to better capture the essence of who we are throughout our engagement shoot and wedding alike. She is so very talented and has such an incredible eye for the beauty in her clients, the world around them, and has such a deep perspective on how to blend all of these aspects together to ensure that you have these memories for the rest of your life. The days following our wedding, I felt very melancholy, as I had felt our fun filled day had gone by too fast. Now, with Jazmín's astonishing pictures and her ability to capture raw emotion in every frame, my wife and I have the blissful opportunity to relive our day together over and over and over again. Not to mention, she is an absolute sweetheart and made us feel so very special in so many ways. I PROMISE you needn't look any further when searching for a photographer to help you immortalize your special day with your loved ones.

Photoflood Studio specializes in wedding, engagement, and family photography. We aim to photograph life + love through an honest documentary approach. Our wedding, engagement and family photography is inspired by the beautiful wilderness, the culture of our coastal cities, and wherever you call home.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.

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
We are SO happy we had Sarah as our photographer. From the very beginning when we first reached out, she was organized and on top of her game! After our initial consult we knew we had to book her ASAP. Sarah is such a bright and fun presence. She brought the BEST energy to both our sunrise engagement shoot and our full wedding day when a hype woman is exactly what we needed. She is positive, confident, fun, and just plain GREAT at what she does! As for her photography, I’m sure that can speak for itself - it is truly gorgeous!! She beautifully captures meaningful moments and the results are phenomenal. She got so many sweet candid and action shots that captured the emotions of the day so well. Finally, Sarah was always professional and great with communication. It helps that she is a genuinely kind person who so clearly wants your day to turn out perfectly! Seriously, you won’t go wrong with booking Sarah. 11/10 would choose her again in a heartbeat!

Oklahoma raised, Princeton educated, and founder of Portrait of a Young Couple, documenting how couples of all backgrounds and identities across the world live and love. I'd love to be a part of helping to capture you and your partner's love.

Vincent was such a positive and calming presence during our wedding planning and weekend! He helped direct us and others for group photos whenever we weren't sure how to pose, while also blending in seamlessly during the ceremony and other moments where we wanted to be fully present with our guests; he was really adaptable to whatever the situation called for. He did an amazing job of capturing the joy felt that weekend, and he was so friendly to chat and have fun with throughout the entire process. He was able to get previews to us within a day and the full gallery out in an incredibly fast turnaround time. Everyone was amazed by the photos and consistently praised his work; he really brought our vision to life and we're so grateful that we hired him.

Hey there! I'm Natalie, a San Francisco based elopement and wedding photographer for couples who want a stress-free wedding celebration. I believe weddings should be focused on you and your partner having a great time. It's your wedding day, you should be enjoying it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Sweeping views of the venues, gorgeous portraits, sweet moments, silly faces, moments of emotion, kids being funny, special details - she caught it all! I don't want to blast my family's faces all over Zola or I'd post more examples, but just trust me when I say my husband and I were going through the album saying "I love this one!" every other click. Beyond that, she's just a great person to have around. When we needed support she was there, but when we were just enjoying ourselves she faded into the background just capturing the moments without us even noticing she was doing it. I couldn't be happier and couldn't recommend her more.

5-Star Review for JJ Ignotz Photography I can’t recommend JJ Ignotz Photography highly enough. JJ has been a trusted collaborator of mine for nearly a decade, photographing high-end weddings and events throughout New York City. Most recently, she captured our own wedding, and I can confidently say—there’s no one else I would have wanted behind the lens on such an important day.

She brings a calm, professional presence to every shoot and has an uncanny ability to catch the real, unscripted moments that make events truly unforgettable. Her eye for detail, composition, and lighting is second to none, and she consistently delivers images that feel both timeless and alive. Whether you’re planning a luxury wedding, a corporate event, or an intimate celebration, JJ brings the same level of care, artistry, and enthusiasm.

Their energy and support made such a difference! Thank you both for being there for us—I truly appreciated it. Can’t wait to see you again for our maternity shoot!

My professional background was cultivated in the field of architecture and design. But around 2010, my obsession with photography overcame my passion for architecture and I changed course. Through years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve developed a genuine love and appreciation for these emotional events. To me, weddings are emotionally-charged, symbolic celebrations. They often inspire pure expressions, words and feelings from the couple and their family and friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've worked with Duy Photography on over a dozen weddings. Every time I work with Duy it's the most pleasant experience. His style of photography works really well with how we work with our couples! I'd say Duy creates a calm and stress free environment. He moves things along at a good pace that doesn't make the couple feel rushed or overwhelmed. Like Duy, we like our photos and video to look and feel natural and just letting the couple express the emotions and smiles in an organic way. His style is non-intrusive, no big flashes, umbrellas or obnoxious reflectors. You get a highly skilled and professional photographer who will just blend right in with your family and friends.

Storytelling photography that brings your story to life. There is a story to everything right? There is certainly one to your wedding and even to a portrait session. The in-between moments can be the best moments! Images tell a story and they are there for me to find. This isn’t one image. It is a series of images that provoke emotion and thought. This happens with trust and openness and I know I can only get this if you trust me and I am open enough for you to do that. When there is this intimacy, I can get to the heart of the images and that is when the storytelling photography happens.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first introduction call, it was clear that Misti truly cares about the couples she works with. Her prompt, friendly, and personable communication style put us at ease right away. On our wedding day, Misti's photojournalistic approach captured all the real, authentic moments and reactions that made our day so special. The intimate, high-quality images showcase our true selves and all of our beloved guests in such a beautiful, natural way. We are thrilled with the final photos and will cherish them forever. Misti's talent and passion for her craft is evident in every shot, and we highly recommend Images by Misti Layne to any couple looking for an exceptional photographer.

As a photographer of life, love and beauty, Tara Arrowood does what she loves every day. She captures beauty in all things- people, animals, and spaces. Her main goal? It’s simply to make people happy. She uses her lens to show inner beauty, authentic emotions, and life’s precious/fleeting moments.

Tara offers photography and cinematography services for any sized wedding. Tell her your plans and she’ll create a schedule that includes everything to tell your story!

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly can’t recommend Tara and her team more highly. Not only is she an incredibly skilled and professional photographer who always captures that shot of a moment you never want to forget, she’s also a wonderfully kind, funny, and thoughtful person to work with. We first met when she shot engagement and wedding photos for my husband and I, and for years to come we reminisced about how great she was at taking beautiful photos and also wrangling wild, wiggly little kiddos. She even pitched in at our wedding and with a big smile on her face, bustled my enormous wedding dress — her assistant got a great photo of that! We were thrilled with how our photos turned out, as well as our 5 minute cinematic video which felt like the quality of an epic movie trailer of our special day. We were so happy to see her again for another family wedding years later, and most recently she took stunning and personal family photos with our little one. I’m already conjuring up another reason to work with Tara again because in addition to her gorgeous photos, she’s just a great person to be around.

From the start, Jonathan and his second shooter were so cool, kind, and easygoing that we instantly felt comfortable. Honestly, we now want to be friends with them!

They were there from the moment we were getting ready all the way through to our final dance at the reception. A 12 hour day and they never once made us or our guests feel like they weren't 100% enjoying being there to capture our celebration.

For some unknown reason I have loved weddings since I was a kid. That’s the first thing. But then… I got married. And that is indescribable. So… if you happen to be here because you have met someone special, and you are making moves, CONGRATULATIONS! You really are in for the ride of a lifetime. So… my first photos? Yup. They were from a wedding! Unfortunately they took the human knee as their subject because I was short, because I was five years old. One auspicious day I brought a camera to a friends’ wedding. I partied. I had a fabulous time. Afterwards they told me I should have said something, my photos were better than the hired pro.

Paul and I have worked together on some seriously complex wedding days. As a planner, I have to know and trust the vendors that come onto the team for wedding day and Paul was nothing short of a dream to work with. Seasoned, professional, and super uber crazy talented... you won't regret adding him to your vendor team!

I fell in love with photography while I was living in Nairobi, Kenya for a few months. When I returned to Penn State, I decided to change my major to photojournalism! I started a portrait photography business in college and continued after graduation. Now, a full time wedding photographer living in San Francisco, I couldn't be more thankful for that trip to Kenya! It led me to my passion and has allowed me to live it out!

We had the pleasure of working with Hannah for our City Hall ceremony day. She was a great communicator and kept us in the loop in regards to timing/location. The way Hannah navigated City Hall was truly incredible - we are still blown away how she got so many photos in one hour! People see our photos & think we rented out the space - but nope, Hannah was somehow able to get all of our photos with no bystanders in the background! She felt like an old friend, and any nerves we had for a) getting married or b) doing such a personal shoot with a stranger disappeared immediately. Thank you, Hannah!

Hello, I’m Jim Lee — a fine art wedding photographer specializing in authentic documentary storytelling. Over the past 12 years, I’ve photographed 200+ weddings across 50+ national and international destinations, capturing refined compositions and genuine, emotional moments. Recognized as one of Junebug Weddings’ Best of the Best 50 photographers worldwide, I create timeless, cinematic images that preserve not only how your day looked, but how it truly felt — beautifully, honestly, and uniquely yours. It means so much to me to get to help you celebrate your relationship in a way that feels true to who you are.

My wife and I were browsing IG during wedding planning when we saw Jim's photos of another wedding at our selected venue. Viewing those pictures, my wife and I just loved the angles and composition of Jim's photos and knew that Jim would be hard to beat. Something I didn't realize before I got married was how much time you spend with your photographer on your wedding day. I think I probably spend more time with them than I did with my actual wife and groomsmen. Having say that, I was glad that Jim and Ryan were my photographers. They were really cool, funny guys to chat with throughout the wedding and you can tell they were passionate about getting the best photos they can get out of my wife and me. I appreciate they were always want to try out new poses, new angles, and new props so that the pictures stand out. Jim was also a great photographer for our families as he knows Chinese and was able to give out great instructions even to my family members who didn't speak the best English. It was pretty funny too when we weren't quite sure what we were doing during the Chinese tea ceremony and Jim was able to step in and give us some instructions. We got our wedding photos a month after our wedding date and we were not disappointed. Jim's selection of curated photos that he touched up were all amazing and were all worthy to be set as wallpapers on our phones. They were simply more interesting to look than most typical wedding photos we've seen elsewhere. And honestly, even the rest of the photos that weren't touch up or part of the curated batch were amazing to look at.

i believe in capturing your day as it unfolds. documenting what is happening not dictating it. making sure those little detailed moments don’t go unnoticed. there is so much beauty to be told when you just let things happen as they will. i study what is in front of me, in real time — the people, the emotion, the light when it hits a certain way and then encapsulate it for you. i am deeply rooted in my feelings and want my images to reflect that as well as reflect the emotion of the day. my hope is that you can look back at your images and relive every loving moment.

Jenna is a true artist and amazing at what she does! The photos she shot for our wedding were way beyond your standard affair and belong in a gallery. She is extremely professional and kept a low profile throughout our big day. Jenna captured not only the obvious moments but also the sweetest in between candids we could never have anticipated and didn't see until after we got our photos back, like a grandmother's hug or the groomsmens' teary eyes during our vows. Hire Jenna for all your photo needs- you will NOT be disappointed!

I am a documentary and commercial photographer based in San Francisco, California, living amongst the fog with my little family that includes a wiener dog named Angus. One of my favorite childhood pastimes was flipping through the thick pages of my grandparents’ wedding album. I can still remember the smell of the leather binding, and the way the photographs curled up at the ends.

Diana is just amazing. We had high expectations based on her stunning portfolio, and she somehow still exceeded them by a mile. She captured so many beautiful photos of us, our family, and all our guests, and somehow did so without ever interrupting a special moment or the flow of the day. She also did an amazing job of capturing both “classic” wedding shots (first look, first kiss, etc.) and more artistic shots and candids (which are so beautiful that we would buy them in a gallery even if we didn’t know the people in them). And she is just a lovely person. We could not recommend her more and hope we’ll have the opportunity to be photographed by her again one day
