Seriously I do :)

Dylan Kyle Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From our very first interaction, their communication style was casual yet professional, and they were incredibly reasonable with their packages. Their work is simply stunning - the photos Dylan& his assistant Hugo captured of our special day are absolutely beautiful and will allow us to relive those precious moments for years to come. The Dylan Kyle team was present throughout the day, providing us with professionally designed pamphlets that included helpful suggestions for enjoying the wedding, descriptions of what to expect from the photographer, and even recommendations for other vendors. They were punctual, realistic, creative, and most importantly, they made the experience fun. We are thrilled with the high-quality results and would highly recommend Dylan Kyle Photography to any couple planning their wedding.

I have DJ'd 300+ weddings, and coordinated 100+ weddings since 2009. I am now shifting all focus towards photography. I've been recreationally taking photos since I was in high school, but recently I realized that wedding photography is absolutely my calling. I will be keeping prices low for a while as I help couples achieve their perfect photography vision.

Pete was incredible, and we couldn't be happier with hiring him as our photographer. We hopped on a call with him prior to the wedding to talk through what we wanted, and he delivered on exactly what we asked for. He was punctual, extremely thorough and also just a very kind guy all around. We're very happy with chose him, and would recommend him to anyone!

I grew up on California's Central Coast and obtained a minor in Photography from Cal Poly SLO. My love for photography started in high school and has always been my sole aspiration. As a photographer, I understand that photos hold cherished memories that last a lifetime. Whether it's with family, friends, or loved ones, photos capture precious moments that we can revisit time and time again. These snapshots serve as a visual reminder of the joys we've experienced and the people we've shared them with.

Andy is the absolute dream to work with! We were lucky enough to meet Andy through a wedding expo event at Hunter Ranch where we won an engagement photoshoot with him through one of the event raffles. Upon formally meeting him at the engagement shoot, we instantly felt how down to earth and easy Andy was to chat and work with. He made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease during the whole shoot and then went the extra mile and got us our photos within 48 hrs. We instantly hired him for our wedding and it was truly the best decision we could have made. The time leading up to the wedding, Andy was a clear communicator always offering ideas or working with us directly to learn exactly what style, ideas, anything specific we wanted capture for our big day and when it came to the big day, he absolutely crushed the vision and went above and beyond to capture our love and connection in photo form. He was open to any and every idea and loves to think outside of the box when it comes to fun photo visions. He provided us with the most beautiful photos we could have ever wanted. He was a vital person to help us lock down our wedding timeline and ensure we took photos when we wanted and he was super great at also allowing us time to fully soak in our wedding and not be pulled away for too long each time. Andy is truly an incredible photographer and person. We could not recommend him as a photographer for any special event, and especially for weddings.

Hey there! I’m Grant — the guy behind the camera. When I got married, my photographer totally missed the mark. The photos were terrible and that stuck with me. So I decided to become the kind of wedding photographer I wish we had: someone who listens, notices the little moments, and captures the real magic (without making it weird). With Lasting Imagery, I focus on timeless images, genuine emotions, and a laid-back vibe that makes you forget the camera’s even there. If you want beautiful photos and a photographer who actually cares — I’m your guy. Let’s make some memories — the kind you’ll want to frame, not forget.

From the moment we first spoke with Narbear Studios, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication throughout the entire process was friendly, thorough, and courteous, putting us at ease and taking a lot of the typical wedding photography stress off our plates. On the day of, their team created a fun and enjoyable atmosphere, capturing all the special moments in an exceptional, amazing, and truly unique way. The quality of their work is second to none, and we are overjoyed with the final photos that beautifully encapsulate our wedding day. We cannot recommend Narbear Studios highly enough to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

All My Stars Photography

I first picked up a camera in high school and was instantly obsessed with the process and possibilities of capturing images. I went on to study at The San Francisco Art Institute and transferred to The Art Center, College of Design in Pasadena, earning a BFA in Photography. I began my career as a photographer in a Los Angeles product photo studio. While working there, I found I had a talent for photo retouching. I worked as a professional retoucher for many years and know what many celebrities really look like hah! I made my way back to freelance photography after having my daughter in 2013.

We LOVED working with Gennan. Out photos are spectacular, abundant and just what we hoped for. I love that she schedules a call with you to discuss your style and vibes, to get to know you a bit. She was responsive through email prior to the big day, and I was so impressed she even brought some of the inspo pics I had sent for us to recreate. She was very professional while being easy and fun to shoot with! She even resent some photos that were B&W that we wanted in color. Edits were lovely. Now our only problem is trying to choose from so many favorites.

I’m a born and raised Southern California girl and am now based out of Chandler, Arizona. I've been married to my husband for over 10 years and we have 2 beautiful daughters together. I've been photographing weddings for over 10 years now and love it more than ever. What I love about photography and especially wedding photography is how I’m able to connect with myself and others. I believe that your soul knows when it’s onto something good. Brings a new meaning to the term “soulmate” doesn’t it? That’s why I’m so passionate about creating art with you and your loved ones in mind.

Alyssa Ryan Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding day. I have had the privilege of knowing Alyssa for quite a few years, and she is always so kind, professional, and prompt in her communication. Her work is truly breathtaking - she has a gift for capturing such personal moments.

In addition to our wedding day, Alyssa has photographed our engagement, rehearsal, and even some special equestrian moments for us in the past.

My goal is to deliver timeless photos that let you step right back into how your wedding day felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

She went above and beyond the entire time and even took time before our shoot to scout out different locations that she thought would work well so we could use all of our time we had with her more efficiently. She also thought of everything and got my fiancé and I a picnic to enjoy as she knew we might be hungry during out shoot and we even utilized that to get some fun photos that are now some of my favorites. She made us feel so comfortable during our time and we loved working with her. Also, she took so many photos and got them back to us insanely quick.
