Prescott, AZ
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA for additional fees

Photography has been a lifelong passion for me and I truly found my happy place when I started photographing weddings. Capturing every relationship and everything that makes it unique and beautiful make my heart all warm and fuzzy. I am here for all of the silly laughs and intimate snuggles. I am always going to make those around me feel comfortable; this might be by making jokes at my own expense or it could be showing you photos as I take them to make sure you see what a freakin’ BABE you are.

Karim, the owner and lead photographer of Ra Weddings, is absolutely magnificent! Karim flew from Florida to do my intimate backyard wedding in New Jersey. I had only family at my small wedding during COVID-19 and Karim accommodated to my exact needs! He was respectful to my whole family, got along with everyone so well, and has become a best friend of mine. The photos he took are so detailed and beautiful. He got all the best angles of my husband and I, captured the candid moments through the ceremony, and completely blew me away with the gallery! He exceeded all expectations of a photographer and provides so much more! He’s your friend, he supports your exact needs, and he gets the best photos. I highly recommend Karim for your wedding if you love all the colorful and sharp photos like me! 10 stars!!!!

Abby Taylor Photography

5.0

Newport Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA for additional fees

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 made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA for additional fees

My style is rooted in a editorial and documentary approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that capture genuine emotions. I prioritize unscripted moments, such as the reaction of your spouse as you walk up the aisle, the inside joke that makes you break out in laughter or the tears as your loved ones share thoughtful memories during toasts. These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Lucia is the most genuine and talented photographer - if you have any doubts, let them go! You won’t be disappointed by working with her :) Lucia captured our wedding back in July 2022 and the photo quality, the shots, and entire process was JUST what we wanted. From the initial consultation, I knew working with her would be a great fit because she was professional, passionate about her work, collaborative with ideas and also provided direction when I was unsure. The day of, we didn’t have to worry about anything because she worked with our wedding planner to ensure the shots we wanted got done, and taking the photos with her felt so natural! From giggly and candid to artistic and dramatic couple shots, Lucia captured a wide array of poses of us that are absolutely timeless. While there was a technical issue with some of the photos, Lucia handled the situation with grace and sincere apologies. We were lucky to get a discount and a complimentary session with her to make up for the loss of photos - and honestly it couldn’t have worked out more perfectly… the following year she came out to our town and took our maternity shoot 3 All of the photos she’s taken of us have captured the love my husband and I share, and it’s such a wonderful keepsake to have for the rest of our lives. It’s wild to think that our relationship with Lucia started with just shooting our wedding, to our maternity sessions, and soon-to-be baby session. She’s truly captured our love story and each major milestone, and now we’ve gained a friend in the process :) We can’t thank her enough for everything and the time and effort she puts into producing stunning galleries for her clients is well worth it. We can’t recommend her enough!

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA for additional fees

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).

The communication was great with Monica and Tyler. They let us know before hand what we were going to do and helped out a lot during photos with things that they didn’t have to help with. They gave great and fun vibes to us for our wedding and during wedding. They made us feel comfortable while doing photos and videos. I hired Monica and Tyler because of their professionalism and great work we seen online. We definitely would recommend them for a Wedding or a lifetime experience.

Arielle shot my surprise engagement with my fiancé and she was amazing! She was so easy to communicate with during the lead up/planning process and even shared recommendations for the local Burlington area as we aren’t from there. The day of our engagement ran into some challenges with the Marathon taking place in Burlington that day, but Arielle was amazing even with the last minute changes! She helped us to take advantage of the empty streets and we couldn’t recommend her more!

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and I am so happy that you are considering including us to be a part of it. I commit to a limited number of Weddings per year to ensure that your day remains a priority. Photography is all about connection and your photographer will be one of the biggest and longest-lasting connections you’ll share with any of your wedding vendors.

I am honored to have the opportunity to laugh…to cry…to share your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
The first part of wedding planning for us was finding the photographer because it was the most important to me (other than the man I was marrying). I was prepared to search high and low to find the perfect photographer, but Jessica found us! After attending a wedding expo she reached out and offered her services. We met for coffee and discussed our hopes and dreams for our upcoming wedding. There was an instant connection! I told Jessica wedding photos were at the top of my priority list, because they’re what lasts forever. I can look back on those photos and remember the excitement, happiness, and pure joy of marrying the man of my dreams. I told her I was looking for someone to capture the little moments along with the big. Jessica promised us everything we asked for and, man oh man, she delivered!!! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Every part of the process was made simple because of her organization and talent. Every communication we had was prompt, thoughtful, and respectful. She listened to our wishes, offered her expertise, and created unbelievable results!! Jessica and her assistant (Crystal) were fun to be around and made our sessions with them fly by. They made sure every detail was picture-perfect… even during our freezing cold outdoor engagement session. If anyone asks me for a photographer, Jessica is the name I give, every single time. She signed on to do our wedding, but we are now her clients for life because no one will compare to the incredible job she does. Let me squash any doubts you have and help you with the best decision you’ll make when it comes to finding a photographer… just hire Jessica Yahn!! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with her!!

The way she engages with us during the shoot feels more like a friend than an awkward photographer session. I’m not the biggest fan of being photographed but it’s so easy with her. Her turn around time is quick too and I love that she sends little sneak peeks!! Life happens so quickly and we capture moments to remember and pass down to our kids and future grandkids. Highly recommend Daniella!!! We’re beyond in love with every image!

Kendra is so unbelievably talented, and was also such a dream to be around. She was somehow right where we wanted her to be while also keeping out of site. She danced with us, and engaged with the party in a truly incredible way. Our photos came out PERFECT. My husband and I are a bit shy in front of the camera (and so are our families) and she took such good care of us and got really beautiful natural shots. I don’t have enough good things to say about Kendra. It can be rare to find someone so talented who is also such a joy and pleasure to be around. I have already recommended her to my own sister and friends that are getting married as well! Highly highly recommend!!

Photography was one of the most important things for my wedding as that’s what you have years later so I was VERY picky when it came to selecting a photographer. I wanted someone I could feel comfortable with that I wouldn’t be awkward around and who could help give elegant and timeless photos in a style my husband and I would like. MaddyKate delivered that. She worked with us about everything from privacy, to added shots, to what kind of feel and photos would be important. She even offered to have a second shooter there for us which was a dream come true for certain photos I had wanted. Overall I would highly recommend and would book her again for photos in the future.

Picking Cassie as my wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I ever made around my big day! I was attracted by her folio and style after viewing so many photographers in Boston, and then made the decision to book her through our Zoom meeting. She is really good at telling stories and capturing moments. I was nervous at first which I assume a lot of us do on the wedding day, but Cassie made it really easy for me and my husband through creating an encouraging, light and easy vibe. We feel like we can laugh and dance and make fun however we want in front of her camera and that makes a great wedding photographer. Cassie is also a very talented and professional photographer that is really passionate at her creation and work. She delivered almost 10 different settings for our 2 hour session and each is unique and remarkable. I'd say go over her folio and make sure you like her style, and eventually you will fall in love with her work.

Chris with Shipwrecked Creative helped capture our wedding day perfectly! The planning before the wedding was quite rushed as we booked just few months before the big day, but he helped coordinate our meetings and plan everything out, so we were on the same page. He was very responsive and detailed with everything. The questionnaire he sent us made it super easy to give him all the right information, so he didn’t need to ask 100 questions on the phone or via email. We had a very rainy day with few moments that the sun was shining. Chris helped us capture every moment perfectly. He guided our poses so it wasn’t awkward or unnatural, kept us laughing along the way, and helped us coordinate our timeline to fit in all our family photos, sunset photos (that miraculously worked out with the weather!) and portrait shots that we wanted of our big day. Between the chaos of the wedding in general and the crappy weather, Chris helped us really make our day special, even trekking out in the mud and rain to get some amazing sunset shots! I highly recommend Chris and his team at Shipwrecked Creative. Couldn’t ask for a better team!

While we can always get down with a classic editorial portrait, we steer clear of photos that feel posed or stagnant. Obviously, we make images that are aesthetically beautiful, and it's our priority to capture you in your best angles & lighting. But more importantly, we are seeking split-second, cinematic, and emotive moments that pull you in and make you think "this looks like a still from a movie!" Every single wedding contains moments like this, and it's our job to be alert enough to catch them. We are very, very in sync and unobtrusive. We find corners to nestle in to watch & eventually work our way into the heart of the action.

Jose and Alex were/are phenomenal! They helped make our special day the best day ever! They were fun and super helpful throughout the entire process and really helped to take a lot of the stress off of us during our big day. They did both our engagement shoot and the wedding and we couldn't be more happy with how the entire process went!

I'm a Las Vegas based professional wedding photographer, working with couples from all over the world, as well as a travelling wedding photographer. Along with adoring weddings, I'm a serious hockey fan, with silver hair, and a terribly awkward smile. When I’m not photographing people, I love photographing Lego Minifigs on location, Darth Vader being a favorite (and personal hero) but I like expanding my collection of character portraits. I have a wicked sense of humor, a weakness for Rom Com’s & Spanish red wine. In my personal time I work closely with a local dog rescue, as a foster home and photographer, helping find their furever homes.

Victoria was the so much fun and completely understood what we wanted from our wedding photos. She has taken the most amazing wedding photos filled with colour. Victoria was so excited for us and that excitement was captured in the photographs. We really enjoyed the shoot. Could only say good things about Victoria. Highly recommend

We worked with Nicole for our engagement photos in 2019, and then booked her for our wedding in November 2020, which ended up being postponed to November 2021. Nicole was THE BEST to work with. She was always super responsive on email when I had questions or requests. On the day of the wedding, Nicole and her second shooter were literally a dream. They were so low key and chill, which is exactly what I needed in that stressful situation. Nicole was super perceptive to my personality and mood, and she could tell when I was ready to move on from a certain shot or group. Our entire wedding party and families loved working with her! She sent our preview pics so quickly, and honestly there are so many amazing pictures included! I can't imagine what the full albums will be like!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Jade. She was professional, attentive, flexible, creative, knowledgeable, personable, passionate about her work, warm, and just a lovely person to work with. We found her portfolio on Wedding Wire and really liked her style of photos. When we reached out, she was very thorough and clear in the packages that she offered and always responded quickly. Based on the price and her photos, it was an easy choice for us to book her as our wedding photographer. My husband and I chose to get married at San Francisco City Hall, so we also wanted someone who had lots of experience at this venue and Jade did not disappoint. After we booked her, she scheduled a planning meeting with us one week before our wedding date. I loved that she enjoyed getting to know us as a couple and our love story and gave us tips on poses and where to get my bridal bouquet. On our wedding day, Jade arrived early and greeted us, super excited to photograph our wedding. She was very knowledgeable in where to go for the best photos and suggested many poses for us to try. She was also very attentive to our needs and energy levels and checked in with us often as it was a busy day. It took about 2 months for us to receive the photos and we are in love with them. They captured our sweetest moments and brought us right back to our wedding day. Lastly, you can tell how passionate Jade is as a photographer by the way she talks about photography and capturing wedding moments. Thank you, Jade, for your hard work and dedication to our wedding photos. We will enjoy them for a lifetime and we hope to work with you again in the future! :)

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

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!

I don't even know where to begin with writing this. Melissa is phenomenal. Full stop. The first time we met her we knew we wanted her to capture our wedding photos. She was so friendly, approachable, and professional. We wanted our photos to capture our personalities, and we knew Melissa could do that. We also knew we could trust her fully to take great photos so that we could relax and enjoy our day. On our wedding day, she made the whole process so seamless, and we really were able to relax and enjoy the day. It was the best. The photos Melissa captured from our wedding day are something we will treasure forever. When the first few showed up online the day after our wedding, our whole family gasped, and there were quite a few tears. The photos are literally perfect. Absolutely better than anything I could have imagined or wanted, and each one feels so unique. When we look at them, it's like we are right back at OUR wedding day, not just any wedding day. There are two more things I have to mention here. 1) Our engagement session was amazing. Melissa spent the day with us up in Madison (where we live) and absolutely captured us and our favorite places in such a heartfelt way. She also made that day so FUN. I was certainly nervous about being photographed so much, but after awhile, it felt like it was just Simon and I there, having fun, together. The photos are a true reflection of that. 2) We had to reschedule our original wedding due to the pandemic. Melissa was super understanding and made our new date work for us. Overall, Melissa is an artist. She is someone I would trust completely again and again to capture the most important moments in my life and the lives of those I love. Thank you!!

When we decided to get married 3.5 weeks out we weren't sure we could find a photographer - or one that would truly capture what we wanted (we had an unusual request getting married in our home under construction). Stefan was incredibly easy to work with, gave us helpful guides and things to consider, was so flexible with our needs - and the preview photos we have seen are beautiful beyond our expectations. We look forward to having a long relationship with Stefan to capture important moments in our life and would highly recommend him.

Love knows no bounds. Every person is deserving of love and deserving of having it captured perfectly. I believe in equality. I believe in living simply and loving deeply. I believe that dogs are the best travel buddies and that plants make the world better and prettier. I believe that perfectly planned photos are awesome, but so is the candid photo of your 90 year old grandmother drinking whiskey with your friends. Your photos are about you, not me. I won't tell you what to do or how to live your best day. What I will tell you is where the best light is, what to expect during your wedding and always get your "good side."

Awarded Best of Zola
Bethany is such a talented photographer with a beautiful and dreamy taste. My husband and I particularly enjoyed how at ease she made us feel when we first met her for our engagement photos. We aren't the most eager when it comes to getting our photos taken, but each experience with Bethany was so much fun that we honestly forgot that the camera was there! She brought great energy to the table on our wedding day and made us feel at ease during potentially stressful situations. I really appreciate her attention to detail and hard work capturing moments that we'll now be able to look back on for our entire lives together. If you are looking for a photographer that cares about those treasured moments just as much as you do, look no further! Thank you, Bethany.

I could not recommend Jenni enough! She is so sweet and instantly made us feel comfortable. I normally don't like photos of myself BUT have yet to see a photo of myself that Jenni has taken that I don't like!

She left our wedding on a Sunday night, and we had sneak peaks by Tuesday afternoon - I don't know how she works her magic so fast!! We love every single photo we have seen so far and cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding gallery!

She was quick to send us some previews and all of our photos which was great as we were anxious to see them!

My husband and I worked with Natalie on a destination first anniversary session in Scotland - the photos are better than our actual wedding photos! Natalie was fantastic at posing us and directing us to create beautiful shots. Her ability to capture both our expressions as well as the beauty of the scenery around us was unmatched. She was up for exploring around the wilderness location, including hiking and climbing through lakeside hills, and never made us feel like we were taking too long. The quality of the final products is crystal clear and amazing - it looks like we are back in the woods of the Scottish Highlands every time we look at the pictures.

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Harrison surpassed our expectations with his close attention to detail, capturing every moment beautifully. We're a slightly awkward couple, but he was professional and made us very comfortable taking our formals after the ceremony. Highly reccommend for those in search of a very talented photographer who is great with people.

If you're looking for experienced professionals, look no further than Sugar Rush. On my wedding day, Jena introduced herself with a big, giant hug and immediately made me feel so comfortable and excited for the big day ahead! I knew right away I was in great hands. Jena was funny, personable, experienced, patient and extremely flexible. Stephanie, our second photographer, was also a master at handling all of the wild goose chases we sent her on. From finding my future-husband's cabin without an address to figuring out how to capture a non-traditional venue, she took it all in stride and was always three steps ahead of us. Now, I cannot imagine having anyone else there for us on our wedding day. They were so helpful, hyping us up through each photo, and able to take any pivot we threw at them. I highly recommend this team and I wished I lived in the SLC-area so I could force them to be friends with me!!

We feel so lucky to have found Andrew as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye for the editorial style and makes his photos into works of art with golden light and chiaroscuro. So many photographers just rely on their high-res equipment but don't offer anything more--I don't want a macro shot of every pore or line on my face like an owl in a tree at 100 yards, I want to have a sense of magic and beauty in every photo. Andrew actually does that. I almost cried when I saw our first look photos because I don't feel very confident being photographed and I finally had dozens of photos of myself and my husband that I want to share with friends immediately and cherish forever. He delivered the first look so fast, even though I know he was busy working another wedding; I thought for sure we would have to wait longer. The wedding package we chose included very nice touches like polaroids so we had something in hand at the end of the wedding day itself, too. It was very thoughtful and left us feeling good about the whole experience right away. He was very personal and nice to work with, but not intrusive, and went with the little schedule changes we had, and was open to suggestions while we took post-ceremony photos around the city. I couldn't be happier with our experience with him and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a real artist for their wedding photography.

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Azaria is like the best friend photographer that every couple needs. Hands down I would hire Azaria again, she was able to handle the chaos of a large family while still being attentive to our needs as a couple while we were taking photos. She was not only a photographer, but an extra set of hands, she fit in like another family member, always willing to help. She helped me get dressed, made sure I was hydrated on the hike to the photoshoot location, and held my hand to make sure I never fell while in heels. I was completely comfortable and trusted her throughout the process to deliver seriously beautiful photos! I found Azaria super last minute, like less than 2 weeks out and she was so great and willing to make it work! She was communicative and super thoughtful about every little detail, giving us pointers and advice to make sure we could have the best possible outcome for an outdoor photoshoot in April. For those who are having multicultural weddings, or more culturally traditional weddings, Azaria is the perfect photographer for the occasion. She understood the importance of my culture's wedding process and clothing, and was extremely respectful and open-minded throughout. I highly recommend her for your next occasion!

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.

Choosing Marla as my wedding photographer was the best decision. She is amazing at what she does, responded to us quickly and provided the most amazing pictures I will cherish forever. She helped us have a smooth wedding day and made sure we both felt our best on our special day.

We had a tight budget and she worked with us to create a highlight video for our ceremony so that we could have a video of the most important part of our day. She is very professional and came up with unique shot ideas (detail shots, dancing, active poses, etc.). The video turned out beautifully and feels unique to us and our special day. I am forever grateful for the experience I had with Kellie and the video she created for us. She is so driven and talented! Highly recommend and if you are debating getting a video or not (as I know it’s not in everyone’s budget) I would advise you to just go for it as I can’t imagine not having the video. I would have regretted it so much! Just do it…and go with Kellie too, she’s the best!

My images are a blend of formal photographic training and a passion for telling stories with pictures. I specialize in capturing natural, candid moments. I approach wedding photography as a documentarian with a deep love of family and a great respect for ritual.

Carey was wonderful to work with. She was organized, very responsive, and helpful in finalizing my timeline for the day. The photos turned out so beautiful. We loved her documentary style of the event. And we have received so many compliments on our photos from friends and family. Would highly recommend her!

Hi, I’m Stacie! After initially going to a photography school for architectural photography, I quickly learned I had a passion for human connection and a natural ability for making people feel at ease. Once I photographed my first wedding I was smitten. Now over a decade later I still absolutely love what I do. I am passionate about creating beautiful photographs that are sincere, meaningful, full of emotion, and feel like you. I want you to be able to look back on your wedding photographs year after year and remember all the emotions - the laughter, the tears of joy, and the love.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with Stacie and Vitae Weddings. Stacie shot our engagement photos and our wedding and went over the top to make sure everything was perfect. We are so thrilled with our photos and we've had tons of compliments on the quality and artistic quality of the shots we've received so far. Our wedding was last weekend and Stacie promptly delivered sneak peeks which we are in love with, and I can't wait to see the rest of them. We had a second shooter (Brett) who was also a joy to work with. Hire Vitae and you won't regret it!

Welcome to our creative world! We are David and Katie, a photo and video dynamic duo from the peach state. But, we are more than just visual storytellers. We want to get to know you and build a friendship that extends beyond our lens. Our goal is to capture genuine memories that you'll cherish for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
I looked through several different groups when attempting to find the best photographer for our wedding and Hevesi Journal made it easy to choose them. We mainly interacted with Katie, who was professional and calming and funny throughout every encounter. We did our engagement photos with her as well as our wedding photos and both sets turned out better than I could have imagined. Getting photographs that really showed the essence of us as a couple was one of the more important things we had hoped for when planning the wedding and this goal was certainly achieved. For our engagement photos, Katie followed us up a mountain and during the wedding she made sure that all of our desired groupings (for example, my father and his siblings) were captured with ease. I would 100% use their services again and if I have anything that needs documenting in the future will not be hesitating to reach out.

Hi there! I'm Brayley, a full-time Traveling Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer who operates primarily in the Western United States, & I would LOVE to be your wedding photographer! 🫶🏼 I grew up & now live in the PNW with my loving spouse & our sweet pup, Forrest, but after doing my undergrad in AZ, I just knew I needed to spend at least part time there, too. I LOVE my work & am passionate about capturing life's precious milestones, & doing so in a way that feels natural & authentic to my clients. Although I love all photography, I specialize in wedding, lifestyle, & business photography with a natural, earthy, classic & candid style.

Brayley is absolutely amazing, and was so wonderful to work with! From one photographer to another, I highly recommend her! I had a wedding booked, and unfortunately had some things come up. It was only a few days before the wedding so I had to scramble to find a new photographer. I reached out to Brayley and she was more than willing to help me out. She was very communicative, professional, and reliable! The couple she photographed absolutely loved her and her work! They were extremely happy with the work she provided, and how smoothly she made the day go. After seeing the photos myself, Brayley absolutely outdid herself and provided top notch work! I highly recommend her for any of your photography needs!!

We had such a wonderful experience with Zach. He was easy to work with talk to. He made everyone involved feel comfortable & took any and all pictures that I or my family/friends requested. He stayed with us from morning until night and did not miss anything. Anytime I looked around he was standing right there with me. We received some of our pictures recently and I love them so much.

Hello! My name is Brenda and I've resided in SoCal all of my life. Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Brenda shoot our wedding day was absolutely amazing! It was such a joy to have there with us on such a stressful day. She put us at ease making sure everything we wanted to capture throughout the day was taken care of. She even helped us prior to the day of answering our questions and creating a shot list for us to give us a glimpse of how the day would be. After the craziness of the day one of things our family and friends kept commenting about is how professional and great she was during the wedding, which was amazing to hear. The sneak peak photos we have received show just what a talented photographer she is and we cannot wait to work with her again!
