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.

Hi I'm Bridgette ! I am based in Orange County and I am a wedding photographer based in Huntington Beach, specializing in documentary storytelling, editorial portraiture and digital + 35 & 120mm film. I personally photograph celebrations throughout Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, San Diego and Southern California, as well as Michigan.

Bridgette is the most incredible photographer around. Not only is she insanely talented, she also brought a calmness to the whole day. She has such a great knowledge of wedding day timelines and acted as our wedding planner in helping us structure our day efficiently where we could take a lot of photos but also have so much time with each other and our guests. Our venue was not traditional and required a lot of moving around. Bridgette took it all in stride and helped direct us to stay on track! And her photos!! She captures incredible genuine images and has such great attention to detail. We look at our photos daily and love every one of them!

Hi, I'm Jenise, the face behind the camera. I’m a wedding photographer based in Orange County, capturing love in a way that feels real, intentional, and true to you. My approach is a mix of guided and candid moments so you never feel stiff, but always feel seen. From the quiet in-between glances to the big, joy-filled celebrations, I’m here to document your story in a way that you can feel for years to come. A little about me, I love matcha lattes, Disney dates with my husbby, and traveling for both leisure and for my passion and love for photography. I have a really good eye for all the details. I'm easy-going but directive when needed.

From our first conversation with Jenise, we felt like she truly understood what we wanted for our wedding day. Her communication was phenomenal—she was always there for us and genuinely cared about capturing our story. On the day of our wedding, her readiness and presence were unmatched, constantly reminding us that she had our backs. We loved every single photo she delivered, and the quality of her work is simply the best we've ever seen. What made the biggest difference was how sweet and authentic she was with us throughout the entire process. Jenise didn't just take pictures; she became part of our special day, and we couldn't recommend her more highly.

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.

Your wedding is about the two of you together, along with your family and friends, and the celebration of love. My main goal on your wedding day is to help ensure that you always remember the day — by capturing amazing photos and also that amazing feeling of being young and in love.

Highly recommend booking Ashley for your engagement or wedding photos. I booked her for both and am super pleased with my results. Have my engagement photos and wedding framed all around my house :) I was looking for a bright, airy vibe for my photos and that is exactly what I got. During the wedding planning process and day she was very organized and efficient. I still look at my wedding photos and cry because they're so beautiful! Probably will book her again for our next chapter in life- Maternity

Your wedding album transcends time as a cherished heirloom, destined to be passed down through generations. Each detail of your special day merits an exquisite capture, narrating your unique love story with grace and authenticity. Our approach ensures that your wedding remains a celebration of love and not merely a production set for photography, preserving the essence of your day in a luxurious and timeless manner.

I don’t even know where to start, I can’t remember how I came across Kaitlin’s business but I’m so glad I did. She couldn’t have been sweeter. I was on a tight budget and after I received her pricing (which was very fair) I let her know it was out of my budget and she immediately offered to work within my budget and talk through what we could do. I also had my heart set on a videographer and she brought in her friend Nicole, they made the best team and worked so well together. They even offered to meet me for coffee and see the first look spot so I’d feel more comfortable the day of. Fast forward to the important part, Kaitlin is calm, professional, and truly wants the best for what you want during your special day. She does not pressure you to get a shot that doesn’t make you feel comfortable because she wants you to remember the parts of the day most important to you. We received sneak peek photos within 24 hours which was so impressive and they were beautiful, it had me counting down the days until the full album was done! We loved our photos and our friends and family had so many great things to say about them as well. You won’t regret hiring Kaitlin!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We met with a handful of photographers before we settled on Steve. Beyond his ability to capture candid moments of joy, laughter, and celebration, Steve's honesty and transparency made us feel at home with our decision to move forward with his services. He incorporated an engagement shoot into our photography package, and spending that additional time with him prior to our big day helped us feel so much more comfortable with the entire process. After our engagement shoot, Steve was kind enough to grab lunch (dim sum) with us in LA's Chinatown, going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in his presence. Steve is the most laid-back, amicable photographer you could ask for, and it was a privilege to have him capture our wedding. He is a kind soul and fits in splendidly with any crowd. We look forward to using his services for many more milestones in the future.

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!

Lauren is absolutely amazing in every way! Her photos speak for themselves—they’re stunning and truly capture the essence of each moment. But it’s not just about the pictures with her. From the moment we started working together, Lauren made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which definitely helped the photos turn out even better. She’s not just a photographer; she’s a joy to be around. From the very beginning, Lauren helped us with the wedding timeline and gave great advice on vendors. On the big day, she balanced professionalism with fun, and so many of our guests mentioned how wonderful she was to work with. She’s fantastic at engaging with everyone and making sure every moment gets captured. We’re beyond grateful for the beautiful photos, but even more so for the amazing memory of having Lauren there with us on our wedding day. Lauren also brought her assistant Ally along as a second shooter, and we’re so glad she did! The two of them were just so grateful to be part of the day, and it really showed. Ally was so easy to be around, and she did a fantastic job with the pictures. When a small issue came up with my veil, she was right there to help without hesitation. We’re so thankful that Lauren brought Ally along to share in our big day—it made everything that much more special. Together, Lauren and Ally made our wedding day even more unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us capture our memories.

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.

Shooting with Cass was such a dream. She is the most organized-but-easy-going photographer ever, and her style is incredible. She works weddings with such class, creativity, and professionalism that her years of experience really shows - and she puts her clients first by paying attention to their needs, while also capturing a beautiful wedding gallery. She's a fantastic wedding vendor to hire!

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!

They are my absolute favorite videographers! Their videography & photography evoke emotions and really capture the candid and raw moments of couples. If you take a moment to watch their videos and skim through their gallery of photos, I promise you'll tear up from looking at genuine content. I recommend them to everyone! I love that they make couples feel comfortable, stress-free, and even help couples feel less awkward in front of the camera. They are worth every penny because they tell timeless stories through their work, so that you can look back 20 years from now and exhibit the same emotions you felt during those special moments!

Our proposal and engagement were two of the most meaningful moments we have ever experienced, and having someone there who could capture all of those emotions, little details, and genuine moments meant so much to us. Looking back at the photos, we are able to relive those memories all over again. Every picture tells a story, and that is something we will treasure forever. What really stood out to us was how comfortable and natural everything felt. Taking pictures can sometimes feel awkward or forced, but our photographer made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable. The quality of the photos is absolutely beautiful. The lighting, angles, details, emotions, and overall editing were all incredible. Thank you so much for giving us photographs that are more than just beautiful images, they are memories we will have forever.

The last few years have been filled with immense growth and many incredible opportunities. We are now a family-run business serving both the wedding, event and commercial photography industries.
