Thank you for stopping by my website! My name is Yuki, and I am a photographer based in Southern California. Since I was little, I've had a camera in my hands wherever I go, and it has been my passion to photograph unforgettable moments. My influence came from my father who is a semi-pro photographer and videographer in Japan, and his journalistic photography style encouraged me to anticipate the moments and capture natural impressions. The moments I capture become the past, but what inspires me is seeing people’s reactions to the photographs I take. It is my hope that these moments become timeless. Often clients tell me that having a photo can bring back the feelings and memories of that moment, which is why I launched Yukipix Photography, LLC.

Laura is amazing. We booked her and her daughter, Rio, for our elopement in Zion National Park. It was just my husband and I so we really wanted someone to capture every moment so we could share it with our family. She did just that. Every picture still takes my breath away, a year later. She is so sweet and we love that we have been able to keep in contact since our elopement. Absolutely hire her for any event, portraits, etc.

Hannah is the kind of photographer who genuinely gets excited about your vision and makes you feel supported from day one—her proactive communication and enthusiasm set the tone for an incredible experience. She captured exactly what we were hoping for with our non-traditional celebration, creating authentic moments that felt effortless rather than forced, and she was flexible enough to adjust our day-of schedule to ensure we got the shots that mattered. What really impressed us was the editorial quality of her work; she delivered a remarkable variety of images that told our story in a way that felt both creative and uniquely ours. Our guests loved interacting with her during the party, which speaks to how she brings energy and approachability to every interaction. The opportunity to collaborate creatively with Hannah made the entire process feel like a partnership rather than a transaction. We're 10/10 recommending her to any couples who want photography that goes beyond standard coverage.

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

Just wanted to say a bit about G. He did our engagement shoot and we are blown away!!! This guy is not only amazing with a camera, but he also kept things relaxed, which was great because I'm usually not the best with cameras around. The photos came out very nice too!! He also delivered the photos quickly, which was a nice surprise. If you're looking for a photographer who's easygoing and skilled, G's worth checking out. Looking forward to our wedding :)

Oleg and his team are THE MOST talented video/photo team I have every met and worked with. A lot of trust goes into finding someone that can capture your day for a lifetime of memories and we are BEYOND THRILLED to have chosen ZayaEvent. We met with Oleg for the first time and he was so detailed and excited about what he does. It made us excited to work with him! We sent inspo on what we wanted for our engagement shoot and shared what our vision was for our wedding. He captured it all perfectly! We chose to do our engagement shoot at The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. Oleg was on time and made the experience so much fun. I am very camera shy but he made us both feel very comfortable and captured candid moments of us purely having fun. On our wedding day, Oleg and his team arrived and conquered it all! They were a joy to work with and soooo organized. They created a 1-min movie-quality video for us the next day and returned some photos as a sneak-peek. I CANNOT WAIT to see everything else he captured from our special day! I would work with Oleg and his team over and over again!

Hailing from New Orleans, LA, and now based out of South Orange County, CA, I fell in love with photography long ago. I officially launched my wedding & elopement photography business in 2021. After graduating in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, I found myself having the time to further fall in love with photography, getting the chance to photograph more and more - so much so that I was able to start my own business in a rather unexpected way. Now able to travel the world with my camera in tow, I am beyond grateful for this passion turned career, & I feel so blessed every time my finger presses down on my camera shutter.

Cassidy is the best! I'm a videographer so I always look forward to any wedding that I get to work with Cassidy. She's professional, fun, and so easy to work with.

Nick Cruz Photography, LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Santa Ana, CA

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

Nick is such a fabulous photographer -- he captured every big and little moment of our special day. He put us at ease and made us feel comfortable on a nerve-wreaking and exciting day. The photos are some of my favorite of my entire life. He's amazing!

Jake is the absolute best and we could not be happier with him as our wedding photographer.

Jake is incredibly personable and can direct people when needed, but can also read a room and let a moment develop to capture something truly special. He knows how to make everyone feel comfortable and has a way of seamlessly working with you so that you can fully experience the day and all of the emotions while capturing those moments and feelings beautifully.
