Hey there! I'm Paul, a husband to my high school sweetheart, a proud father of three, and always up for a new adventure. These roles deeply shape my passion for capturing genuine human connection through my documentary wedding and lifestyle photography. While I'm based in Southern California, my love for unique stories takes me wherever your celebration unfolds. I'm here for those who truly value authenticity, couples and families looking for their story to be told with intention and a deep understanding of what makes their connections special. I believe your life's biggest milestones are meant to be relived, not just remembered.

“Paul Mark was the best wedding photographer we could’ve ever asked for. Our wedding looked 10x more beautiful through his lens. Literally. He really took the time to get to know my husband and me beforehand to figure out our styles and get a feel for us as a couple. We genuinely feel as though he’s one of our friends now! His editing and overall vision is incomparable. He is so SO talented. In simpler terms, he’s just the best. I would 10000% 10/10 recommend. Our photos look like they belong in a magazine! Thank you again, Paul, for everything! You’re great!!”

Bedrosian Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (38 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves South Gate, CA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We are beyond grateful for our experience with Peter. From the very first conversation, he was so easy to communicate with and truly understood our vision. On our wedding day, he not only captured every moment exactly how we imagined, but also brought such a calm and positive energy that made everything feel less stressful. His attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture genuine emotions made our photos absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to be part of our special day. I will be recommending him to everyone I know getting married! Book him now!”

If you've ever felt awkward in photos, that's my favorite problem to solve. I'm Heather, a loose editorial wedding and elopement photographer, and I'll go anywhere you're getting married. Not because I have to. Because I want to. I give you real direction so you know exactly what to do, then I step back and let something true happen inside the frame. I can't fabricate moments, so I don't try. You get bold, stylish portraits and the real in-between stuff in the same gallery, and all of it still looks like you. I'm part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and every couple, every identity, every kind of love is welcome here because of that.

Heather took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, even meeting up with us beforehand over coffee to discuss specific shots. I cannot recommend Allen Photography enough - Heather's work is simply amazing, and she is a wonderful photographer, and person, to have by your side on your wedding day.”

Never intrusive or demanding. Their direction felt very easy and natural; it made the unnatural process of taking hundreds of photos feel so seamless and easy. I loved that they took advantage of the space and venue. They have such a fantastic eye for composition and scale - my favorites are the wide shots that capture the cityscape behind. Their photos feel so timeless but fitting for the venue. We could not be happier with the results. I could not recommend Lulan and his team more.

Randall de Leon Photography

  • Serves South Gate, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We absolutely love working with Randall! He has been our go-to family photographer for years, capturing everything from my sisters' and cousins' special moments to my graduation and most recently, my wedding. Randall is incredibly easy to get along with, always professional, and super responsive. I never had to worry about a thing, he came fully prepared for our big day and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. He has a great way of making everyone feel comfortable, which really shows in the beautiful photos he takes. We will continue to hire and recommend Randall every chance we get. He’s awesome, and I 100% recommend him to anyone looking for stunning, heartfelt photography!”

  • Serves South Gate, CA

My name is Sergio. My wife Desirée and I run LOVE by Sergirée together out of Los Angeles. I have been behind a camera for 15 years and weddings are where I do my best work. I shoot every wedding personally and edit every gallery myself, so what you see in our portfolio is exactly what you get. Desirée leads everything you cannot see, from the first email to the final album. Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony or a celebration with a full guest list, our approach is the same. Be present. Be honest. Let the moment unfold.

“Sergio was AMAZING! I don't even know where to begin. His communication from the jump was fantastic, especially as we tinkered with the timing of our microwedding/first look, and chatting with him as we adjusted things was always a stress-free experience. On our wedding day it was like he had this superpower where it was like he could be everywhere at once but also disappear and reappear when he needed to, to get a family member out of the light if they were washed out or to help rearrange the dress's train, and he was great with both our more extroverted and more camera-shy family members. He was so kind to everyone but also a true master of his craft, and his turn-around time for delivery was also bananas fast. He squeezed every moment of beauty out of our short wedding ceremony, getting both beautiful candids and bigger family photos, and we're so happy that these are the photos we'll look back on in the future, and show our kids and their kids. We can't recommend LOVE by Sergirée enough!”

“From start to finish, Yin was so much more than just our photographer, he truly felt like a friend. From our engagement photos to our wedding day and everything in between, he was there every step of the way. He went above and beyond, from venue meetups to thoughtful location scouting, making us feel completely supported and at ease throughout the entire process. His co-shooter, Nika, was equally incredible—professional, kind, and such a calming presence on the day. Together, they made the entire experience feel effortless and fun, while still capturing every meaningful moment so beautifully. Honestly, Yin doesn’t even need reviews (his work speaks for itself) but we feel so grateful to have worked with someone so talented, genuine, and invested in telling our story. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to document such an important chapter of our lives.”

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Daniel was truly incredible to work with from start to finish. I met with so many photographers before choosing him because I was very specific about what I wanted. I wasn’t looking for standard wedding photography. I wanted photos that felt cinematic, cool, and unique to us, and Daniel more than delivered. Our engagement shoot was SO much fun and immediately made us even more excited to have him there on our wedding day. He made us feel comfortable, kept everything easy and natural, and the photos were exactly the vibe I had been searching for. Then came the wedding day, and somehow he exceeded our expectations again. We had a pretty wild group of bridesmaids and groomsmen, and Daniel handled all of the chaos without missing a beat. He went with the energy, kept things moving, and genuinely seemed to be having fun right along with us. What stood out most, though, was how much Daniel actually cared. He never felt like someone who was simply there to take photos and leave. He cared about our day, our story, and capturing the moments that actually felt like us. That meant so much to both of us. I told him from the beginning that I didn’t want standard wedding photos. I wanted iconic wedding photos, and that is exactly what you get with Daniel. We couldn’t recommend him more.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“We recently received our photos and video package from Aladdin Films and we couldn't be happier with the results. Their documentary film was extraordinary—it let us relive our wedding day in a way that felt genuine and special. The team responded quickly to all our questions and kept everything professional from start to finish, which made the planning process smooth. Towards the end of the night, we realized we never signed our marriage license. When I asked Ali if they could stay for a few extra minutes to capture those moments, they agreed without hesitation. All our photos and videos came back on time and are truly beautiful. One thing we wish is that they had been a bit more assertive when organizing our family photos as we didn't end up with every shot/ family groupings requested on our list. We do have a larger family which can also lead towards more chaos as you can imagine. Of course part of this was a timing issue as all photos with bride and groom together needed to be done within cocktail hour as we did not do a first look. Overall, Aladdin Films delivered exactly what we needed to remember our special day and we were absolutely thrilled with our choice to work with them. I would definitely recommend Ali and the team going forward.”

“Tom did a beautiful job of capturing our wedding day. We had the pleasure of booking Tom early on, and got a great deal that included engagement photos! If I’m being totally honest… the price felt too good to be true! Most wedding photography is wildly expensive… but we were so happy to find Tom who provided a reasonable quote ! We were nervous that the quality might not be the best, after all, he’s on the cheaper end of the spectrum. But man….. what a total score for us. We got HIGH QUALITY service that would normally cost us thousands and thousands of dollars. My fiance and I were so impressed with the engagement photos, we could not wait to see what beautiful magic he would come up with on our wedding day. He did not disappoint… Tom delivered such beautifully captured moments that I still look at on the daily. His work speaks for itself. My husband and I feel like Tom was almost more helpful than our coordinator! He directed everyone when it came to photos, which is exactly what I needed ! I was able to relax the entire time because Tom took it upon himself to be in charge… cannot emphasize what that did for us. We just got to enjoy the moment. If you want to perfectly capture that one special day AND get an additional coordinator in the process, pick Tom. And quite frankly, it was a steal. Tom should be charging much much more. Get this… our photos were ready TWO DAYS LATER. No extra cost. The videographer, Christian, he brought on was also so very talented. When I watched the video back… I was in tears. Absolute cinema. Christian and Tom were so fun and kind, I really wanted them to stay longer, OFF the clock just as as our guests! Don’t think it over… I promise you will not regret hiring these two. Book them before they become unavailable!”

“Because I am an artistic person, I knew I wanted to have artistic wedding photos and needed to find an amazing photographer. I used Instagram to do my search, but it was difficult to pinpoint exactly what I was looking for. Eventually, I settled on the word “juxtaposition” and realized I needed to find a photographer who could provide a collection of beautiful photos with lots of variety: the fun drama of editorial and the perfectly unposed/tender warmth of documentary style, shooting on digital as well as lots of film, black&white and color images, capturing the big moments and all the little moments in between, lots of detail shots, cool drone shots, getting the classic wedding photos but also photos that feel creative and thought-provoking. I wanted our wedding album to be oozing with the type of photographs that are cherished for generations, and ones that become “iconic” images showing who my husband and I are at this time in our lives. You’d think finding one photographer to accomplish all of that would be impossible. But thankfully, Instagram led me to Hanna. We met with her over zoom and signed our contract the next day. Throughout every step working with Hanna, it was clear she has so much knowledge of photography and photographing specifically weddings through years of experience. She runs her business with so much professionalism and she goes above and beyond for her couples: She did a venue walk-through with me to see all my photo location ideas and give her recommendations so that way when the wedding day came we knew exactly what we were doing and where, she met with us over zoom and helped us put together a detailed photography timeline/plan for the wedding day, she had us create a list for family photos to not miss anything, she had us fill out an online questionnaire to understand exactly what we hope for/our priorities of what to be captured, and she welcomed me sharing my collection of inspo photos/Pinterest to get an even better feel for what I’m drawn to. Then for the wedding day she had an amazing team: her second shooter, Jake, and her assistant, Sarah. Both of them were wonderful as well! Hanna truly operates like a top-tier, luxury wedding photographer. I had high expectations after seeing so many amazing images of Hanna’s other weddings on her Instagram, and yet she still knocked our socks off. I’m an actor, so I’m used to taking thousands of headshots with the hope to get 3 winner images, and achieving that is considered a successful headshot session. So for the wedding, I kind of had that perspective where if we only walked away with 25 amazing images, I’d be happy. But Hanna and her team are so, so good that I ended up with the glorious problem of being obsessed with everything because it is ALL amazing. I thought I’d be someone who only does one Instagram post of their wedding - nope, I had too much to share and it was too hard to pick favorites. Receiving the compliments from family and friends never gets old. In conclusion, every couple deserves to have a photographer like Hanna capture their day, and we feel so lucky and grateful she captured ours. Just book her already!”

“Porterhouse LA's service and quality are top-tier! We had the pleasure of working with Zyaire and his team for our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day. There were so many moving parts to the wedding (we had three locations) and they made it their mission to get important moments from start to finish. They were true professionals and guided us on posing, and stances, and he made sure to work closely with us on quick and prompt delivery of amazing quality photos. The level of quality and talent Zyaire provides is superior - we 100% recommend!”

Adam Griffin Photo

I’m Adam—a Boston native who’s now roaming around California photographing everything I see. When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks. I got my first film camera when I was 8, and it was love at first sight. Capturing your story is more than just a job for me. From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

“My husband and I were beyond lucky to have Adam as our wedding photographer this past September. Not only did he give us the gift of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen, but he was also such a joy to be around. He makes you feel comfortable during the whole experience and even played me a Taylor Swift themed playlist during our engagement photos!! What more could I ask for!! I will forever recommend Adam to everyone I know. He's truly is the best out there!”

What excites me most isn’t just photographing a wedding day, it’s delivering images you’ll come back to again and again. I focus on real connection, genuine emotion, and creating an experience that feels easy and comfortable from start to finish. Sometimes that means quietly observing the day as it unfolds, and other times gently guiding you when you needed. With nearly 20 years behind the camera, my goal is simple: to capture photographs that feel as meaningful years from now as they do the moment you see them. If you’re looking for someone who cares just as much about how your photos feel as how they look, I’d love to connect.

“Lee has beautifully photographed some of my family members for years, so we were excited to choose him for our engagement photos. He not only met our expectations, but far exceeded them! Lee took amazing photographs of us at Castaic Lake and made it a super fun, comfortable time. It was our first time taking professional photos together and we had a blast. Lee really knows his stuff, and he made the whole shoot feel very natural and relaxed. Cannot recommend him enough!!”

I’m Mysi (pronounced, boringly, “Missy”)! I’ve been at this thing for 12 years and I keep falling more and more in love with it all. Give me intimate micro-weddings, quirky dive bar weddings, raucous South Asian weddings... my team and I absolutely thrive in chaos and emotion. My specialty is catching the moments and those tiny moments in between. ✨✨✨

Awarded Best of Zola
“Soda Fountain Photo was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the beginning, their communication was easy and they always responded quickly to any questions we had. On the day of the wedding, Mysi, the lead photographer, was an absolute joy to work with - she had such a sweet and fun energy that put us (and our bridal party) at ease. Most importantly, Soda Fountain Photo captured all the special moments of our wedding day with creativity and care. We are thrilled with how the photos turned out and feel they truly reflected the love and joy of our celebration. We highly highly recommend Soda Fountain Photo and feel so lucky to have had Mysi as a part of our story.”
