Luis Martinez Photography

Santa Ana, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,950

With over a decade of experience, I have developed a sense of which moments to listen for. It's in the subtle glances, the shared, heartfelt laughs, and the tender soft touches- the moments that can go unnoticed. My inspiration is drawn from the people surrounding you on your special day. The friends and family who are present to share this moment with you. To witness happiness and excitement on their faces as you make your entrance down the aisle. The feeling you get when you walk into a room full of people you love.

Luis helped make our photography and wedding experience as smooth as it could possibly be. He has great insights and his own personal guides that helped us navigate through the timing of our wedding. A super accommodating and no rush kind of guy. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

  • Starts at $999
  • Serves Santa Ana, CA

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I spent so much time searching for the perfect photographer and had high hopes for Alex. Even with our high expectations, Alex completely blew us away with his work. He was professional, efficient, friendly, and managed to capture authentic moments we didn’t even notice. We received our wedding photos within a month, and Alex’s work is literally art. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

Her warm and welcoming personality, along with lots of encouraging words and affirmation of how good we looked together, made us feel so comfortable and confident. The quality of her work is truly timeless, effortless, and emotional - she captured all the special moments of our day with such care and artistry. Morgan also provided invaluable timeline assistance, seamlessly coordinating with our other vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly.

We love, love, love the pictures we got from Peterson Design and Photography of our engagement and from our wedding! We are so pleased they were able to capture all those important moments from the ceremony as they happened and help us remember that part of the day. We are happy we'll always have those to look back on . After having our successful engagement photo shoot with Marisa and Tim, we were very confident that they would be able to capture our special day for us. There are so many great shots of our joyful day. I can clearly see right after the ceremony that I was so excited to hear the beginning of the celebratory Star Wars music that I gestured with my bouquet towards them, but I forgot about that until I saw the picture they caught of that moment - well done and thank you! We so appreciate their passion and enthusiasm for what they do - it really comes through the lens, and it made us feel relaxed, but excited too for our special day.

We cannot recommend Haley enough for your wedding photography needs! We discovered Haley through Instagram and were immediately impressed by her work. From our very first interaction, Haley was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Haley made the photography aspect seamless. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but Haley's friendly and calming demeanor put us completely at ease during our engagement shoot. She took the time to understand our personalities and preferences, which really showed in the photos. On our wedding day, Haley was a true professional. She was patient, took initiative when needed, capturing all the most precious moments—from our first look with our grandparents to our private vows. The photos turned out beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the way she documented our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures stunning images but also makes you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process, Haley is the one. Whether it's engagements, weddings, or any other special event, Haley's talent and dedication shine through. Don't hesitate to hire her—you won't regret it!

I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

Hi, I’m Bryan! My love for photography started when I was a kid. My mom was always taking photos of my brother and me on her Fujifilm digital camera, and I loved turning the camera around to capture her too. That early passion grew into what is now my photography brand. Today, I create artistic, cinematic images that tell your story in a way that feels like it came straight out of a movie. I’m calm and easy-going by nature, which means I’ll keep your day running smoothly and stress-free while making sure every meaningful moment is captured one click at a time.

Kenzo Clicks was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication was clear, concise, and showed a true understanding of what we were looking for. The quality of their work was simply amazing - the photos they captured are out of this world and truly preserve the beauty and joy of our special day. They were able to beautifully capture all of my dream wedding moments, and I can always look back at these photos with a smile. Kenzo Clicks' professionalism and talent made them an invaluable part of our wedding, and we are thrilled with the high-quality images we now have to remember our celebration.

I’m a fun-loving, passion-chasing, curly-headed gal looking at life through a viewfinder. My happy place is anywhere outside of my comfort zone, but a nature-filled walk chatting up good company is a close second. If I’m not planning my next trip, or dreaming up something to cook for dinner, I’m outside trying to meet my Fitbit step goal. (10k club, anyone?) My latest leap of faith? A cross-country move to sunny Orange County, California. This isn’t the first time I’ve packed up and jetted away from my home state of Maryland: Germany, Singapore, and South Carolina make the list too.

I'm a make up artist and she photographs my clients so beautifully. The clarity and tones of her photos are breathe taking. I refer Alainia to any and everyone in need of a professional, talented, patient and fun photography. Praying she never leaves Cali she's is definitely a hidden gem. Also she's such a team player whatever you need she makes it happen.

This is my 2nd time being married and I hated my wedding photos from my first wedding so my wedding photos were a top priority for my wedding. I was referred to Jennifer and from our first communication I just felt like she was the way to go - I trusted my gut and I was not disappointed. While I haven't received all of my final photos I have gotten a large teaser album and I'm obsessed with it all.

I am a father of two beautiful young kids. I do Weddings/engagements/family because they are fun to me. I don't book myself full because I don't want to lose the magic of capturing someones day, that they spend ages planning. I work with a small trusted team that together has a lot of years experience. I work every shoot to capture the emotion in which you actually felt in the moment. No Ai was used in the creation of this explanation ;)

Well if you've stumbled upon this review, consider yourself lucky that you found Jeff. Jeff was my wedding photographer, and I could not be happier. Not only was he a calm presence on our wedding day, but he also stayed later than expected when our timeline ran behind which I really appreciated. Jeff has an amazing creative eye and put so much effort in to make sure we had the best day. Thank you again Jeff for your hard work and your kindness. My husband and I printed out his photos and enjoy them everyday in our home. We are so lucky we found Jeff and I have recommended him to multiple friends, who have also been happy with his services.

  • Serves Santa Ana, CA

A 14-year veteran wedding photographer who has seen it all...and still loves it all. Every moment is unique, and moments are what you really want. Every touch, every moment, every smile, is its own story. I love telling your story from my artistic and unique form of expression, and I make it look good and natural. As if I'm not there, but capturing every second. And not just the poses, but the real, true, authentic moments too. And I promise (grooms, I'm looking at you) to make it fun.

Working with Karl was a dream! He was communicative (we went back and forth on whether we’d want a videographer and he suggested a few things to consider and recommended a colleague for us too), flexible (we kept changing our engagement photo shoot date due to work and he was so accommodating), and cool (I mean he has a satellite phone for his remote shoots, how cool is that!). Such a great mix of encouraging and fun to get us to look natural in the pics. He had a great way of suggesting some poses everyone wants pics of to start, then catch us in between for the most Real shots. Then at the wedding he was perfect at remembering to get all the special ask pictures we knew we wanted, but also all the ones we wouldn’t have thought to ask for. He went way above and beyond on delivering! Karl beautifully captured everything we wanted our wedding to be.. our faith, love, family, friendships, fun… What caught our eye first in scrolling through his website portfolio was how Karl uses the scenery to tell a story with his photography. That meant the world to us because our venue (camp!) was a huge part of our lives and he was able to make this piece of our story so clear through his framing and editing for focus in each picture. Reading the FAQ we were stoked to read Karl say he "would rather have shots of the two of you sharing a moment you can never get back, then a 73rd shot of the candles". We’re not one much for taking pictures, so learning he’d be so intentional about his pictures was encouraging! And, in every single picture we got back, Karl more than delivered on that promise — he caught the twinkle in our eyes, our guests having the time of their lives on the dancefloor, and the spirit of camp, without us even having a thought about picture fatigue. TLDR: 15/10 recommend Karl for any photography! Looking forward to the next time we’ll be able to work together.

She put each person at ease during our session and was so natural and comfortable. She is so professional and such a pleasure to experience in our time with her and images from her. Her skills and experience are superb. Everything she produces is exquisite and absolutely beautiful.
