I recommend Khariza to anyone who wants a photographer who’s easy to work with, thoughtful, and genuinely gifted at what she does!!! She made us feel comfortable from the start and guided us in a way that made us feel like naturals! For our photoshoots, she made sure to incorporate our personalities and ideas into our photos, suggesting poses so the photos looked genuine. Her edits were clean and her album is top notch! She caught all the big moments, but also so many small candid ones we didn't even notice until we saw the pictures. Thank you so much Khariza!

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, working with Ron and Trinity Studios was fantastic. I wasn't sure how photogenic I was, but they managed to get some amazing shots that made me look great. More importantly, they captured my wife looking absolutely radiant on our big day. The photos were top-notch, with every shot perfectly timed and framed to tell the story of our wedding. Their professionalism was impressive. They didn’t just show up and take pictures—they worked with us closely to make sure our vision came to life. They gave great advice and kept things light and fun. Their punctuality and positive attitude made everything run smoothly and kept us relaxed. The quality of the photos was out of this world. Each image was beautiful, whether it was a candid moment or a posed shot. They had a knack for capturing those perfect moments and turning them into gorgeous pictures. Communication and planning were also spot on. From our first meeting to getting the final photos, Ron and Trinity was always quick to respond and super helpful. On the wedding day, they were easy to work with, effortlessly posing us and our families, and blending in with the celebration. We felt the value we got was more than worth it. We were impressed by their mix of professionalism, friendliness, and artistic flair. Most importantly, they made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re looking for photographers who are not just skilled but also fun to work with, we definitely recommend Ron and Trinity. They went above and beyond our expectations and gave us photos that we’ll cherish forever. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we’re so grateful for their incredible work.

Ozan Ulucan Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Ozan, his communication was comprehensive, outgoing and clear. It was evident he has a creative, artistic eye that would capture our day in a unique way. On the wedding day, Ozan arrived early and hit the ground running, snapping photos right away and keeping up the energy and pace throughout the entire event. His experience shone through as he was comfortable facilitating numerous group photos and offering great suggestions on positioning. Ozan also scoped out the venue ahead of time and brought us to multiple spots for one-of-a-kind photos we hadn't even thought of taking on our own. The final edited photos were delivered quickly after the wedding, and the quality was truly professional and a cut above the rest. We received so many photos organized by different times during the wedding including getting ready, ceremony, portraits, family portraits, reception, night, and details including photos of our venue, flowers, and place settings. We are thrilled with the memories Ozan was able to create for us through his exceptional work.

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.

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
This is my second time working with Annalee Photography. Earlier this summer Annalee took stunning SF City Hall pre-wedding photos of me and my husband, and I am so happy she joined us on our official wedding day in the fall! When selecting a photographer, I chose Annalee because of her unique ability to create photos that can capture the feeling of the moment, but at the same time have a timeless aesthetic. Even her candid photos are well-framed and have aesthetically pleasing proportions. Her photos feel genuine, in the sense that they are not overly-polished, posed, or unrealistically perfect. Words can't describe all the love and happiness we felt viewing the our wedding photos. It felt as if we were reliving the feelings and the moments from our wedding day all over again! Working with Annalee the second time was somehow even better than the first time! She continuously finds new ways to improve her craft -- this time around she included a selection of film photos in addition to digital ones. I can also vouch for Annalee's versatility as a photographer. Our earlier photos were taken in the early morning indoors at SF City Hall, while our wedding day photos were taken in late afternoon lighting in an outdoor botanical garden, with additional family portraits. Both sets of photographs were lovely. From a logistical perspective, Annalee is a pleasure to work with. She is approachable, organized, and responsive every step of the way, from initial reach-out, to logistics planning details, to checking in the day before the photoshoot, to delivering our photo gallery earlier during a busy wedding season. While taking photos, she helps with posing details in a very approachable, yet time-efficient manner. Moreover, she is such a kind-hearted and thoughtful person to work with and puts everyone at ease with her calming presence! We feel so lucky to have found Annalee, could not ask for a better photographer to share our wedding day with.

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.

You should stop scrolling through photographers because I'm here to tell you, Sarah is the one. She is extremely professional, talented, compassionate, creative, and can make absolutely every one of her clients feel understood and comfortable. She flew out to Washington to take our engagement photos at the Olympic National Park and the entire day was one of my favorite memories. Not to mention she sent me sneak peeks of the photos within a couple of hours - incredible editing skills and extremely fast service. I'm going to cherish these photos forever and we are SO excited to have her as our wedding photographer in June. Thank you for everything, Sarah!

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.

I met Vincent last year as he was a photographer at a wedding and I was the videographer. We instantly connected as he is the kindest, and most genuine person. He is filled with so much joy and happiness, and he truly made the day wonderful just with his presence. His business, Portrait of a Young Couple is truly inspiring and it tells you how great Vincent is as he captures these weddings free of charge in return for your story. I learned all about his business the day I worked with him, and he is so passionate and truly loves what he does. After the wedding, I was able to see the photos that Vincent took, and not only was he great to work with but his photos are amazing too. We do live in different states, but I hope someday our paths cross again and that I work with him again as he makes working in the wedding industry better.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 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
