In this crazy and beautiful life, I'm caught by the moments. I'm a photojournalist and I mainly photograph weddings and families. You're probably drawn to my work because of real stories and moments. You will not hear me asking you to "pretend" to put on earrings, shoes or a fake smile or telling you what you "should" do and where to look. (Well, except for portrait/group photos...) Your photos will not only tell your own unique story but will take you back to those genuine moments and emotions you felt. Seriously, wouldn't that be the absolute BEST way to re-live your life?

Photography, to me, is more than a mere snapshot; it's a portal that transports us back to the emotions, the laughter, and the whispered secrets of a moment. Over the years, I've come to realize that it's not just about capturing images; it's about encapsulating the very essence of those instances that define us. Each time I press the shutter, I'm not just freezing time; I'm preserving the soul of that moment, ready to be revisited whenever the heart desires.

  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

I fell in love with the art of Photography about 7 years ago and have looked at everything through a viewfinder since. I can't go anywhere without mentally composing a photo or wondering what angle I could use to make something look more interesting. I started taking photos for friends and family and quickly fell in love with the concept of saving a moment forever, in a unique way only I could. The technology surrounding photo-taking has come so far that everyone has the ability to snap a picture with their smartphone just about wherever they're at; but to me, the value of high quality photography will never be outdated or lose it's value.

Right after graduating from CSU Sacramento in 2012 (with a BA in Photography, might I add!), I did photography as a side-hustle while working a couple of various jobs: part-time as a Summer camp counselor and full-time at a medical device company. After getting married in 2016, I moved to Modesto with my husband since he was working there at the time. Because of the move, I had to leave my jobs in the East Bay. I took this move to the Central Valley as a sign that I should do photography full-time. So, since 2017, I've been a full-time wedding photographer. We are now in beautiful Sonoma County!

Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. We’ve always sought to remember things exactly how they happened - how we felt. This is how authentic photography captivates us. The goal is to photograph your day as it unfolds naturally. Take a few moments to go through some words from past clients describing their experience with us. You’ll also find us on Google.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was a lucky day for us when I found Josh online! I was so impressed with his portfolio & previous reviews, & I knew right away after speaking with him that it was a perfect match. He understood my vision for the day -- lots of pictures, of course, but not too posed & lots of candid photos of wedding party guests. I was so incredibly happy with our wedding photos. They are absolutely beautiful & I will cherish them forever. Our engagement photos also came out beautifully -- he got an absolutely beautiful shot of us with our dog that I was then requested to send to everyone in our family to be framed, & to share with our dog's veterinarian. In addition to taking amazing photos, Josh is so lovely to work with & be around -- he is very responsive, kind, professional, & it was a pleasure to spend time with him on the day of our wedding, which was really important to me because you spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day. My maid of honor said that Josh was her favorite part of the wedding -- I am not kidding! We are so happy with him & I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, or photographer in general!

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Her partner Lee came as the assistant and they were the perfect addition. They both were so professional, kind, and amazing. They made us feel so comfortable and helped us with posing. They took photos on digital and film with the perfect combo of posed and candid. Marilyn even got our photos to us a few days early!

Like most children in the late 90's and early 00's, I grew up with a camera in my hand. I went through polaroids, video cameras, disposable cameras, waterproof cameras, and film cameras; all the cameras! I was so fascinated by photography and the ability to preserve moments. I'm an ENFP, 7w6, and extroverted-introvert who is not only thrilled but humbled to be a witness and historian to the significant moments in your life we are able to share together!

Lindsey is amazing! We worked with her for our engagement photo shoot and we couldn’t be happier. She listened to all our wish list items for location and came up with several ideas. She made us feel so comfortable during the shoot since we had never gotten professional photos before. Plus - our location was pretty far away from Seattle and we had a blast getting to know each other in the car ride to and from the location. Highly recommended!

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

I highly recommend working with Emma Lee Photography! Our photos turned out so beautiful, we love them so much. Emma was very easy to work with, professional, flexible, supportive, and helped us capture the moment perfectly. Also Emma made us feel very comfortable during our photo shoot. Thank you Emma!

Thanks so much for stepping into my world of photography where capturing memories and emotions through the lens of my camera is a true passion. My journey as a photographer began in my teenage years when my Uncle, an avid photographer, sparked my love for the art by showing me the magic of capturing life's moments. With over 100 weddings under my belt as a lead photographer and mentorship from some of the Bay Area's top wedding photographers, I bring a wealth of experience to each and every shoot. My goal is always to produce images that are not just beautiful but also truly authentic.

I knew from our first message exchange that Shelby was the right choice for our us. She’s so down to Earth and was always on the same page as us. The photo shoot itself was a ton of fun, and spending that time with her was like hanging out with a friend who was also a professional photographer. I’ll also note that my wife - who tends to be a bit particular about things - left me in charge of finding the photographer, and she hasn’t stopped praising me for what a great choice I made with Shelby. This level of praise is something that almost never happens, so thank you Shelby for helping me score some points!

My name is Thomas Seabury I am a wedding photographer of 8 years, over the past 3 years shooting just over 100 weddings per year. Each wedding I take on the roll of coordinator, photographer, and personal assistant keeping the entire day running smoothly and keeping the stress of the day as far from the bride and groom as possible. I would love to be a huge part of your entire process from overall planning to execution of the day! In the off chance you're booking at a Northern CA Wedgewood venue, I have hundreds of hours of experience at each of their venues and work very closely with the everyone of the staff at Wedgewood.

Awarded Best of Zola
From even before our wedding day, Thomas was quick to communicate and make sure he was available for the time we hoped to book him. Every interaction was easy, effortless, and added no stress at all to our already busy day. On the day of our ceremony Thomas showed up exactly on time and instantly began helping us get the best photos possible for us to capture this memory with. You don't realize how much stress is immediately removed by having a photographer like Thomas capturing the moment. Thomas captured multiple moments from the first look to even spending extra time with us after the ceremony to get more shots. In total, he took several hundred photos to make sure he captured every possible angle we could ever want. The most impressive part of that was the turn-around time for all of the photos he took. Within a few days we had an entire album of photos to go through and pick our favorite ones. I highly recommend Thomas if you are looking for the someone with a true passion for photography to be your wedding photographer. There is no better choice. 10/10

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby was our secret photographer at our proposal at Sunset Cliffs in San Diego. She got there early to find the spot/set up and even went as far as hiding in the bushes to remain unseen while we arrived. Not only did she capture the proposal moment flawlessly, but she also managed to snap all the little moments leading up to it. She gave us a mini-engagement shoot afterwards, shooting us while we called family, drank champagne, and watched the rest of the sunset. The photos took our breath away when we saw them - the lighting and the editing were both so beautiful and professional. Friends even commented that it looked straight out of a Bachelor finale. But most importantly, while we were scrolling through our final gallery, we felt like we were reliving the evening - her photos completely reflect what it felt like to be there. Lastly, not only is Abby a great photographer, but she's so personable and fun, making you feel relaxed and excited while taking photos. Abby made our proposal shoot feel effortless and natural, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! Thank you Abby!!!

I’m Monica Cassell, and I’m on a mission to ensure your photos are really damn good. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just choosing another vendor who’ll punch in and punch out. Hell no. You’re choosing a comprehensive client experience. I prioritize spending time with you, getting to know you individually and as a couple, and serving you in this season through engagement photos, recommendations, and anything else you might need. By the time you run through the sparkler tunnel to your getaway car, we’ll be so close you might just ask me to come with you (JK, unless it’s Disneyworld).

Working with Monica was great! She’s easy going and listens to what you need. I didn’t know what I wanted out of photos and she helped me figure it out. The photos we’ve received back so far are gorgeous.

Jessica was absolutely amazing and we are incredibly pleased with our decision to use her as our engagement and wedding photographer! She was a great communicator who went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly. Jessica being so organized and on top of things made our wedding experience much less stressful than it otherwise would have been. Neither my husband or I are super comfortable in front of a camera, but Jessica’s directions and attitude put us at ease and made for a very enjoyable experience. Our wedding day went just according to plan, and so so much of that credit goes to Jessica! Taking everything we had spoken about into consideration, she put a wedding day timeline together for us; that was a huge stress relief! Jessica was amazing leading up to the wedding and I couldn’t of been any more pleased. I had so much confidence in Jessica leading up to the wedding day, and she did not disappoint! She was organized, had a plan, and followed it just as we had discussed. When hiccups arose, she was a calming presence who quickly adapted and made the absolute best out of the situation. Now, on to the photos! Jessica is a remarkably talented photographer who captured our wedding day better than we could have imagined. The photos all turned out so good and she was able to capture so many moments that we, as the bride and groom, were not able to witness in the moment. Our couples portraits, wedding party photos, and family photos were stunning. We are also so incredibly grateful for Jessica taking the time to photograph our guests during the reception. She was able to capture every moment with such authenticity; we love to look back at the photos and relive the day. I would whole-heartedly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!!

Our favorite photos are the ones that involve movement, whether it's my fiancé lifting me up or me swishing my dress in the middle of the street. There are no uncomfortable forced poses, only candid secret moments. We cannot recommend working with Sarah enough. She is SO kind, patient, personable, and talented. She is willing to listen to all of your ideas and provide valuable input. She has worked in a variety of settings and it shows in her artwork!

When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and crime documentaries.

I knew that I wanted to hire Justina as soon as I saw her work— I loved her editorial style, her vibrant photos, and the fact that she offered a 2 photographer 1 videographer package (her brother Anthony is the videographer, and they make for a real dream team!!). We contacted her in January for a June wedding. We had about 3-4 calls before the wedding, where she made sure to fully understand my partner and I’s preferences and styles when it came to photography, posing, etc. We also did an engagement session with Justina (which was complementary at the time, and I HIGHLY recommend doing it before the wedding), and that allowed us to get familiar with her shooting style. I feel like we became friends very quickly. On the wedding day, Justina and her team arrived early and adapted quickly when we had a sudden change of plans due to weather. She also adapted quickly when the original 2nd shooter got sick right before our wedding, and found a replacement photographer right away. Our wedding party and I had so much fun shooting with her team: she was efficient while being thorough with the shots we wanted to get. Anthony, the videographer, also had creative ideas and suggested several unique “shots” to capture for the wedding video. Their team integrated so seamlessly into the wedding that I honestly barely noticed them running around and capturing moments. They were both professional and down-to earth; I felt like they even added to the joy and fun vibes our our intimate, 85-person wedding. I got the preview wedding album from Justina exactly a week after the wedding as promised, and Anthony sent the short video reel a month after (also as promised). We’re having so much fun going through the photos—they truly turned out better than I expected, and if there were any changes or tweaks that we wanted to either photo or video, both Justina and Anthony are super responsive and reasonably quick to change them for us! Justina and Anthony are an up-and-coming team, and I could not recommend them more! You should definitely book them before they’re booked out for the rest of the season :)

Hi, I'm Jaime! I am so glad you've stumbled across my page. A little about me and my values: I love to tell love stories of honest human connection. I care about how I can represent who you are in your truest form. Your moments are meant to be captured and preserved in the most beautiful way possible. If this appeals to you and you are looking for a super fun new best friend to join you on your journey, I'd love to chat with you and be apart of the best day of your life!

I cannot stress how important it is to choose someone you get along with as your photographer. They are literally by your side the entire day to cheer you on, support you, and capture amazing photos for you to cherish. Jaime was an absolute dream to work with for engagement photos, leading up to the wedding, and on the big day. It felt like we had known her for a long time, and I definitely suggest doing engagement photos with her so you can start to create a relationship. We could not ask for a better photographer to have by our side on our big day, and she helped create some fun memories. She’s a quick read, so she understood the dynamic of our relationship so quickly which helped us bond and create great photos. Oh not to mention the photos are AMAZING if her portfolio is the style you’re looking for, I cannot express the feeling you get when it is your own photos. The day flies by so fast and the pictures bring you back to the day. I will 100% be taking more photos with Jaime. I wasn’t expecting a friendship to come out of this when I first chose Jaime to be my photographer, but it did. I can’t wait to come up with more excuses to tell my husband to book shoots with Jaime.

I can't thank Josie and Alex enough for capturing our wedding day! From the beginning they have been so easy to work with -- fun, charismatic and genuinely seemed interested in making our wedding special. Fox & Film understood our vision and were so involved while also making sure our day was spent enjoying our wedding and not just posing for photos. We used Fox & Film for our engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner and wedding day. I promise they are worth the investment and will exceed your expectations. There are so many elements of a wedding to stress about and Fox & Film was never one of them. We are so obsessed with the photos! The detail shots, wedding portraits and family photos all came out perfectly but our favorites are the candids we didn't even know they were capturing. They give you so many photos of not just yourselves and your family but all the guests at the wedding. I love looking back and seeing all the moments I would have missed if they didn't capture it. The film photos are also incredible and were a big reason we chose Fox & Film from the beginning. If you're looking for a wedding photographer that will capture the most sincere moments and actually give you the space to enjoy your wedding I promise Fox & Film is the one!

In one picture, he somehow turned a day shot into a night shot with crazy editing magic. My husband and I don't just recommend, but demand, that if you're thinking about an outdoor photo adventure with Kira, do it! It's not just a photoshoot, it's an adventure with the person you love.

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

This review is so overdue it makes me sick, but the reason I've put it off for so long is because I've struggled to come up with the words to fully capture how I feel about Mel and what she contributed to making our special day E V E R Y T H I N G I could have ever asked for. If you don't want to read my whole novel, here's all you need to know: Mel is incredible. As a human being, a woman, a friend, a professional, a photographer - all of it. She will take care of you. I would've paid 10x as much as we did for the memories Mel gave us -- both actual memories WITH Mel and the memories she captured in her photos. From the very beginning I knew I wanted Mel in my corner. I find it SO admirable and refreshing that she takes seriously whether she meshes with her prospective clients or not. She KNOWS that the photos are going to pop off that much more if the vibes between client & photographer are *chef's kiss* -- she's not just chasing anyone down for the money or the exposure. To me, this made Mel really stand out. Vibing with Mel also meant I felt comfortable (because she allowed me the space to) text her with questions/concerns or for advice during the planning and she ALWAYS made me feel better about whatever I was worrying about. Mel is a friend, a sidekick, a bada**, ready-for-anything, go-with-the-flow-but-also-command-the-flow hype woman professional. I'm not kidding when I say that a large portion of my core memories from wedding day are with Mel. And I don't mean because she was following me around with a camera all day, I mean because of the actual hilarious, heartwarming, lifesaving interactions with Mel that stick out to me more than conversations I had with our own wedding guests. Imagine spending all day with someone who isn't making you laugh, providing you relief from the stress, tending to you and just making you feel like an absolute prize all day!!?! Couldn't be me. Wouldn't be Mel. She's d*mn good company. We had a large wedding party which can be annoying for any vendor but especially a photographer. Mel never made us feel bad about that. She stated the facts, made clear what she needed and then made. it. happen. The groomsmen in our party were not great listeners and Mel dominated in getting everyone's attention back. My bridesmaids were basically crushing over how much of a boss she is. And because of how much of a boss she is, she kept ALL things on track, even things she wasn't originally responsible for. She is THE ultimate wedding expert and has an answer for everything. Not every photographer could do what she does, so thank god for Mel knowing her strengths and positioning herself to share the power of those strengths with all of us. Nothing could've prepared me for the emotions I would feel looking through the gallery Mel delivered. Utter shock and awe -- our photos were uniquely ours but still dazzled with that same Mel magic I fell in love with when I found her on IG. After our wedding, I looked back on our day and felt sad thinking about moments I missed or wish I could redo. Her photos completely took all of that away. It was all accounted for. You can trust her to have listened to your needs/wants, to have taken any unique or awkward circumstances into consideration and to have captured moments you'd probably be sad about missing (even the really small, less obviously-important ones). Book her. Book her for the max duration that you can. She's the best in the biz and nothing could convince me otherwise.

Hello Rad People, My Name is Taylor, I am based out of Golden, Colorado. I am a huge animal lover. We have 2 dogs ,2 cats. Plus, Carl our bearded dragon. So, please bring all the animals to your session or event! I have always loved nature and the outdoors. We do a lot of hiking and camping in the beautiful Mountains. My passion for photography started at a young age, I started doing film Photography and developing my own photos before I even picked up a digital camera. I never thought that my love for photography would turn into my career, where I get to photograph people in love in the places they love. Now let’s get Wild!

Awarded Best of Zola
So first off, the first things I asked her were; are you LGBT friendly, can you handle my anxiety, and can you photograph fat people?? Her answer was yes to all....and she exceeded my expectations. I do not talk much nor do I speak my mind ever, but I felt immediately comfortable with Taylor the second I saw her. Prior to that actually because we had texted a lot. She’s very hands-on. I booked her almost a year ago it feels like, but because of covid and other things out of our control we had to reschedule multiple times. Taylor was SO accommodating every single time. She never seemed bothered by us even though I guarantee she had to be. We are a hot mess! We changed the location multiple times, including TWO DAYS before the ceremony, I was late to my own elopement and on the way there my daughter spilled make up all over her clothes so we had to turn around for an outfit change!! Taylor was so kind and friendly. We told her in the beginning that mine and my wife’s height difference was an insecurity of ours and she made the angles work to where we didn’t look that far off at all. I’m telling you this, I have never been confident at all, I have never even liked the pictures other photographers have taken of me.....I cried when I saw Taylor’s pictures. I felt so beautiful and worthy of good photos!! I HIGHLY recommend her and will forever cherish everything she’s done. I was so uneasy about picking a photographer, it was so stressful because I’m from out of state and I knew nothing about Colorado or anything. I’m blessed to have found Taylor, she gave me everything I wanted and more!! Every single time I travel back to CO I will always have he take our photos!! Thank you so much for giving us this Taylor, we appreciate you more than you know!!

I've been pushing off this review because I just can't find a way to put into words how AMAZING Rob & Lyndi were. Not only were they just all around good people and a pleasure to work with, but they were able to capture some of the best moments of our wedding...SO tough to pick our favorites! I came across Sugar Rush Photo + Video while scrolling through a million different wedding photographer websites and I was sold on their casual/super approachable tone and the great candid shots they featured. My husband and I typically shy away from the camera, but loved the idea of being able to see our guests at their best when they weren't looking. Rob & Lyndi were super responsive the entire time (note: we brought them on with a little over a year to go) and made the whole process easy for us. A lot of people wondered why we were flying our photographers in from Utah, but after the wedding and after looking at the photos, it became clear to everyone. They flew into SF for our outdoor October wedding weekend and it was like we were meeting long lost friends even though we had only exchanged emails. They rocked it at our welcome pig roast and it felt like they were part of the family. That Saturday, they split getting ready duties between two locations, got us ready for a first look in the park before our outdoor ceremony and made each of us look waaaayy better/way more glamorous than we'd ever looked before and captured some great moments with our family. For our formals, we set loose on the city and Lyndi captured what a coworker called the best wedding picture ever in front of the Painted Ladies in Alamo Square Park. We squeezed in a second location before heading into our reception just for fun! We kinda felt like fancy fashion models as we looked through our gallery. The reception was a blast and our guests kept pulling us aside saying how it felt like our photographers were just an extension of our friends and family and that they were just so fun to be around. Rob & Lyndi have such amazing energy and it oozes onto everyone they interact with. I highly recommend them for weddings, engagements (wish we had done that!) and anything else...especially if you're not that comfortable in front of the camera! They make you feel so at ease and like you're laughing with your most inappropriate and hilarious friends. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

If you need an elopement photographer drop everything and book Marla right now!! We changed our wedding last minute from Hawaii to Vashon Island WA and Marla was the only photographer whose work grabbed my attention! We had a great first call and I could not have asked for a better photographer. Marla was amazing in getting all the photos I asked for traveling with us and doing a first look on the ferry. She helped keep me calm and made the day feel just about Adam and I. She captured the joy we felt throughout the day and brought so much fun to our photos!

They communicated with all the vendors that were involved in making the clients day memorable! They’re an amazing team to work with and hope I get to work with them again.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bethany was an amazing photographer and overall person to work with!! I knew when we first met with her that she just had a natural grace and ability to help us with our pictures. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot that we did in Philly, and she knew the best spots to shoot so our pictures came out beautifully. On our wedding day, she traveled all over our location to take pictures - you can tell she is willing to go the extra mile for her clients and her pictures are FANTASTIC. She is amazing and our wedding wouldn't be half as good without her pictures and her help. Thank you Bethany!
