“We loved working with Murtaza and the MKEShoots team for our 6-event Indian wedding, plus engagement shoot. His passion for the art was so infectious, especially since it was our first time doing professional photos. It took us some time to warm up to the camera, but once we did, well, the pictures really speak for themselves. Murtaza especially has an incredible eye for creative photo ideas, and he and the team made it so much fun even though we were stressed out with all the wedding drama. They scoped out noteworthy outdoor locations that made amazing backdrops, helped corral family members together for group photos, and just generally went above & beyond to make sure we had coverage of all the important moments - all the big things and the small details too. The photos we ended up with were beyond what I imagined, I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Now, I just need someone to help put the wedding album together.... :)”

I’m Peter, the guy behind Bedrosian Photo. I photograph weddings, people, parties, emotion, chaos, and all the weird little moments in between. I care way more about honesty than perfection — the nervous energy before a ceremony, your drunk uncle on the dance floor, your grandma crying quietly in the corner, or the split-second look your partner gives you when they think nobody’s watching. Those moments matter more than anything staged ever could.

On the day of, he did a thorough review of the venue and made sure the lighting was perfect for our photos. Peter also did a great job directing us on how to pose.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment we met Isaac, we knew we were in the best hands. He has an incredibly calming presence and a natural way of making you feel comfortable, which meant we were able to be fully present on our wedding day. Our Sonoma farm wedding unfolded with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception, followed by music and festivities in the barn. Isaac captured every moment with such artistry and intention. The images feel effortless yet elevated as every frame tells a story, from quiet, emotional moments to the joy and movement of our guests celebrating into the night. The photographs from our first dance in the barn truly took our breath away. The way Isaac used the natural light, textures of the wood, and atmosphere of the space made the images feel cinematic and timeless. Working with Isaac was seamless, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day exactly as it felt. The images are beautiful, emotional, and full of life. We are endlessly grateful for his vision and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dreaming of a wedding that feels both authentic and artfully captured.”

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

My husband and I aren’t photogenic and get shy showing affection in front of people but he made it feel comfortable and the photos look natural. He is easy to talk to but still very professional. The delivery time of the photos was only a couple weeks! They were exactly what we were looking for. Danny also had the lowest price in our area. Overall, we are extremely happy Danny got to capture our big day and highly recommend him!”

Every wedding has its own rhythm. I'm inspired by the way a great film makes you feel like you're actually inside the story — the anticipation before something happens, the quiet moments between people, the movement, the atmosphere, and the unexpected frames you could never have planned. I photograph weddings with that same instinct, moving with what's already unfolding rather than forcing the day into a shot list or manufacturing moments. The images move between digital capture and authentic 35mm and medium-format film, giving each moment the rendering that suits it best — creating photographs that feel like frames from a film you happened to live inside.

Awarded Best of Zola
“After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Do yourself a favor, and hire Bailey as your wedding photographer! From the beginning, she spent an hour talking with us to get to know our stories, who we were and what we wanted. It was clear from that first meeting that she was calm, cool and collected, but she also gave off such an authentic and kind presence. Working with Bailey was so easy, she listened to what we wanted but also provided absolutely incredible ideas. The way she can capture light is out of this world, and many of our guests said the photos seem straight out of a fairy tale. As a bride who doesn’t get dressed up and dislikes being photographed I was particularly nervous about our wedding day. Everyone wants to feel beautiful and look back on their photos in awe. Bailey did just that for us- when I look at our photos I am still in awe. When you work with her, you aren’t just going to get incredible photos (and while I know that truly is what we all want) but you will also get a calm presence who gave us simple direction so that we never had to feel awkward or like we didn’t know what we were doing. I especially loved that when she takes shots, she shoots from further away with a bigger lens to give you space to enjoy your special day without a camera so up close and in your space. If you want peace of mind in who you hire, I could not recommend Bailey enough!”

We never felt awkward in front of the camera—in fact, they made us feel beautiful and confident, which is such a gift on a day when emotions are running high. And then, as if all of that weren’t enough, we were surprised with a custom USB drive containing our photos. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch, and it made receiving our images feel even more special. Looking back, we can honestly say that Kin Photography contributed so much to making our wedding day unforgettable.

We can’t wait to work with her again for future milestones in our lives. We cannot recommend Ashley enough!”

“Masha is an incredible photographer. As a fellow wedding photographer, finding the right person to document our colorful wedding on Maui took some time, but as soon as I talked to Masha and saw her full wedding galleries I knew she was the one! She took such care to get to know us the months leading up to the wedding and on the day made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Just a few days after our wedding she sent over the most beautiful sneak peeks. When I saw them I immediately started crying she just captured our day so beautifully!! I highly recommend Masha for her artistic eye, professionalism, attention to detail, and the care she puts into her job. She is fantastic!!”

Juliana is a photographer of 10 years who started with a passion of photographing her friends in high school. This then led to a pursuit of lifestyle and fashion photography. She worked for countless brands, models and lifestyle companies over the course of her earlier career – and even dabbled in social media marketing. It wasn’t until 2019 that she began to heavily pursue documenting lovers and their weddings. Mari Co was dreamt up in 2020 and she has since committed her heart to photographing people in love since then.

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Juliana! Not only is she an amazing photographer, she’s an amazing human! She made my husband and I, family and friends all feel so comfortable and confident. She was so helpful is directing our photos to make them casual and candid yet capturing all the important portraits and group photos. I am so in love with how all our photos turned out! They are everything I wanted and more! I love Juliana’s romantic, modern, and timeless approach to her photos and editing. Not to mention the amazing film photos she captured! I’m truly obsessed with how everything turned out! Cannot recommend Juliana enough and I absolutely will looking for another opportunity to work with her!!!”
