Gabbie Burseth Photo 

5.0

Santa Monica, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,200

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabbie was a true delight to work with - easy going, pleasant, responsive, and thoughtful. And did I mention that her photos were AMAZING? She delivered exactly what we wanted: candid, fun, beautiful, artistic shots, on both film and digital formats, that captured our wedding day perfectly. I couldn't recommend her more highly!!

Open Haven

Santa Monica, CA
  • Event extras
  • Performers
  • +2 more
  • Starts at $550

Open Haven offers restorative sound experiences that bring calm, presence, and connection to your most meaningful moments. A wedding weekend can move quickly - the happy rush of hellos, reunions, and celebration all at once. Beginning with a sound bath invites everyone to pause, breathe, and unwind together, allowing the mind and body to simply be present in the moment. For your moment. Known for her warm, intuitive approach, Ariana weaves sound, stillness, and gentle reflection to create experiences that leave guests feeling lighter, calm, and deeply connected - to themselves, to one another, and to the love being celebrated.

We had the absolute joy of having Open Haven Sound Bath kick off our wedding weekend, and it was truly magical. Our guests were welcomed with an incredible sound bath experience nestled among the pine trees on the rooftop above the pool — the perfect way to ground everyone and set a calm, intentional tone for the weekend. Ariana, the owner of Open Haven, created an atmosphere that felt deeply personal to us as a couple — even crafting a custom scent (pine & rose) that she used during the sound bath and gifted to our guests afterward. It was such a thoughtful and meaningful touch that everyone is still talking about. Her ability to create connection, presence, and serenity through sound is unmatched. It was the perfect beginning to our celebration, and we couldn’t recommend Open Haven Sound Bath more highly to anyone looking to bring a sense of peace and beauty to their event

Brittney Raine Photography 

5.0

Santa Monica, CA
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $7,000

**PSA: Please inquire via email/website instead of through Zola!** I'm Brittney, a wedding and portrait photographer from Los Angeles. I'm also a ceramicist, houseplant enthusiast, traveler (no place is too far), enneagram 4, ice cream lover, and introvert fascinated by human emotion. Photographing weddings has truly been my dream job, and I feel so honored every time I'm invited to capture intimate moments in peoples’ lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittney is a gem of a photographer and a shining star of a person. She captured our wedding more beautifully than either of us could have imagined or wished for. Being photographed by her feels like hanging out with your chillest, most talented friend, who knows how to work ALL your angles. Aside from being talented and kind, she radiates the coolest, most calming vibes throughout every situation. We shot our engagement photos outside on a cold, rainy day and somehow Brittney managed to make us feel like it was warm and sunny. Throughout the course of our wedding day, she kept us calm and on schedule, making everything feel like an effortless breeze. But Brittney is so much more than a photographer. Even in the time leading up to our wedding, she was there to answer all questions and give suggestions about everything wedding related. She answers her e-mails so promptly and comprehensively, and is always willing to jump on the phone to talk it out. Brittney provided so much priceless guidance when we didn't know who else to look to. Ultimately, Brittney is the full package. I'd say triple threat, but she's much more than that. She's not only a really good photographer, but she's a really good person. TLDR; Hire Brittney, it'll be the best wedding decision you make (aside from marrying your spouse, I guess).

Atmosphere: The space was warm, stylish, and welcoming—exactly the kind of vibe we wanted. Having the entire bar to ourselves made it feel intimate yet lively, like our own hidden gem in the city. Service: The staff went above and beyond for us. Every guest felt cared for, and the service was friendly without ever being overbearing. They truly made us feel like family. Food & Drinks: The wine selection was incredible (so many options to please every palate), and the soju cocktails were just as impressive. The food was flavorful, and kept everyone happy well into the night. Event Experience: What stood out most was how easy the planning process was. The team at Bodega handled the details so smoothly—arranging the space, customizing the menu, and keeping everything on schedule.

Tache Weddings

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA
  • Offer

I film weddings because I’m obsessed with memory. Not the posed stuff — the in-between moments. The way your partner looks at you when no one’s watching. Your grandma dancing. The second before you walk down the aisle. At Tache Weddings, we capture photo, video, and Super 8 with a documentary, fashion-forward style. I care more about how your day felt than how it looked on Pinterest. If you’re looking for someone who hypes you up, holds space, and gives you a film that feels like a love letter — I got you.

We got married at the Santa Barbara Courthouse in the late afternoon sun, just the two of us and a few close friends, and Tony captured it all like he’d known us for years. The way he moves—quiet, intentional, somehow everywhere and nowhere all at once—made us feel completely at ease. We weren’t posing, we were just us, and yet every frame looked like it belonged in a movie. Tony caught things we didn’t even notice in the moment—the wind in my veil, my partner’s hands shaking, the way the light filtered through the trees during our vows. It wasn’t just photography. It felt like storytelling. Like he saw us. We’ll never forget that day, and honestly, we wouldn’t want anyone else behind the lens.

There's just something about watching a painting emerge before your eyes. And when it's of your most cherished moments? Magic. Wow your guests with live painting for your Los Angeles event. Based in Sunny Santa Monica, California, Heidi specializes in big paintings for big moments.

Five stars really isn’t enough but it was the most we could give! Heidi was so amazing from start to finish. She met with us ahead of the wedding so she could make sure to capture our values and get an image that made our special day even better. On the day of the wedding she was there early, with plenty of time to scope out the venue and find the perfect place to capture the moment. Her presence was so calming amidst all the chaos! Our guests loved watching her work and were so intrigued by the concept of having a live painter (as was I!). They were also so impressed at the fact that the painting really looked like us! (I mean… that IS the idea, right? Lol) Heidi delivered the final painting to us in a beautiful wrapping that looked almost too good to open. I would highly recommend her to any couples considering a live painter for your wedding- you won’t be disappointed!

Welcome. I love being a wedding photographer! I like to capture the true emotions and personality of my couples. Nothing can beat the magic of looking at the wedding photos 5, 10, 15+ years after your wedding day and still experience all the feelings. This is my goal with every wedding I photograph.

Izida was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction doing engagement photos to the wedding day, Izida's communication was clear, concise and friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, Izida and her team were incredibly organized and experienced, helping us work through a (very) large family to ensure we got all the shots we needed. The preview photos she provided just days after the wedding were absolutely stunning - Izida has a true talent for capturing beautiful, natural moments. We were blown away by the quality and value of Izida's work, and are so grateful to have such amazing photos to remember our special day.

Whether you are looking for a cozy affair or a lavish event, Tiato offers natural yet redefined, and sophisticated ambiance. In addition to our beautiful interior, our flexible venue features the largest outdoor event space outside a hotel in Santa Monica.

Venue considerations

  • Additional event staff required
  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Not wheelchair accessible
First - the food is delicious and the setting perfect for a wonderful meal. We used them for a rehearsal dinner of 40 and were absolutely impressed by Tiato! We spent quite a lot of time looking for a location for my daughters rehearsal dinner. Many friends suggested Tiato as a perfect location as it has a lot of beautiful spaces including a great outdoor space and wonderful food. The proposal we received from Tiato was so professional, thorough and thoughtful. I was very impressed in my dealings with Stephen Cisneros and knew it would be a fabulous event. We had the most wonderful tasting before selecting our final menu and everything was so good, it was difficult to choose. Stephen and his team went out of their way to make sure our evening was special including providing microphones for speeches, a lovely set-up and, most importantly, amazing food. The passed appetizers were delicious and beautifully presented. Stephen had great suggestions for timing of the event. Easy parking was included and the prices were fair. I appreciated that adding a specialty cocktail (we picked a wonderful berry margarita which featured fresh pressed blueberry, lemon and lime juices) was only 7.50 per person in addition to a reasonable bar package. I highly recommend Tiato for a lunch, dinner or event! Love the food!

Since then, Betsy has been on the road with One Direction, One Republic, Charlie Puth, and most recently Trevor Noah. Betsy's eye for candid moments and storytelling has led to photographing weddings around the world. She lives for documenting life and love through the lens. Betsy looks forward to hearing from you and bringing your vision to life!

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (over 2 years after my engagement photos were taken) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Betsy all the love and praise she deserves. Betsy photographed our engagement photos and would have done our wedding as well if she wasn’t already booked. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Betsy previously and she was always so fun, easy to work with and matched my energy on every level! She gets so excited when she knows she is ‘getting the shot’ that you can’t help but get excited too. I had a very specific vision for our engagement photos and she was 100% on board to make it happen. I love the photos so much and will treasure them forever as they document a very exciting time in our lives. I absolutely love working with Betsy and will definitely be booking her again in the future!
