South Pasadena, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
We approached Rebecca for her photojournalistic photography, something we explicitly wanted in our wedding because we wanted those natural moments captured without looking awkward, and she astonished us by capturing so many sentimental and hilarious parts throughout our wedding. From framing to editing, the photos turned out fantastic and we love them so much! You can see raw emotion, joy, and amazement throughout them. She truly captured the feelings of the day without making us feel overly posed and orchestrated; she made it all feel natural and sometimes even seemed to disappear out of sight (although the photos prove she was there all along). She truly is an artist! We also appreciated Rebecca and Stephanie getting onto the dance floor and grooving with us while capturing hilarious moments. We highly recommend Rebecca if you want authentic, beautiful photos from someone who understands how to include cultural and personal values in your special event!

From the moment we booked LA Digital Photo [ Photo Video DJ/MC Photo Booth ] for our wedding, we knew we were in good hands. The communication and support they provided throughout the entire process was amazing - they gave us clear direction every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, their photography and crowd work was truly top-notch. At one point, the photographer spontaneously loaded up photos he had already taken during the reception to share with all of our friends and family - it was an unexpected and beautiful surprise that everyone loved! All of our guests were fascinated by the amazing pictures he captured of them. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first since they fit within our budget, but my goodness, they exceeded all of our expectations.

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
We were nervous when it came to hiring a photographer, because after the whirlwind of the day, photos are one of the only things you get to keep once the day is over that help you relive the moments. We had heard so many horror stories and knew it was one of the most important decisions we were going to make. But thankfully, hiring Mysi was truly one of the BEST DECISIONS we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was intentional, thoughtful, and so easy to work with. She made it a priority to meet with us in person—not just to talk logistics, but to get a feel for how we interact with each other. She wanted to understand our dynamic so she could best capture authentic, candid moments on the day. That personal touch meant a lot to us. She even took the time to drive up to our venue (a private residence) in advance to scout out the space. Watching her creativity come to life as she walked through the house and surrounding areas was such a fun and reassuring moment—we knew we were in great hands. We didn’t want just traditional posed photos; we wanted a mix of candid, artistic, and emotionally rich shots that told the full story of the day. She completely delivered. The final gallery was more beautiful than we could’ve imagined—natural, warm, and full of moments we didn’t even realize she had caught. We showed a few of the preview photos to people who didn't attend the wedding, and they all had nothing but compliments for how stunning the photos were. It's only been a few months, but we can't stop looking at the photos. They bring us back to the exact moment in time they were taken and we are able to relive the memories. Literally the only negative is that we can't figure out what our favorites are because they are all that great! We’re beyond grateful and couldn’t recommend Mysi more highly. If you want a photographer who truly sees you and puts her heart into every frame, she’s the one.

Weddings are indeed stressful. The whole process of trying to figure out what our kids wanted, needed or desired for their wedding creates a situation where there are just too many options out there and it gets confusing or even overwhelming. With Michael’s experience, he was able to cut through a lot of the questions and made things very very simple and manageable. His discussion with the happy couple beforehand gave him an idea as to where he wanted to go in a direction with the photos was a nice considerate touch. He arrived earlier in the day to work out all the finer details with the facility and during the wedding and even after made everything, not only very easy but fun and entertaining for everybody who participated. The quality of the photos and the uniqueness and time put into each one of them may this a great experience. I can’t recommend him enough.

Hi I'm Carmelisse. I'm an intimate wedding & elopement photographer based in Los Angeles. I have a gift for making people comfortable and seeing the beauty in all diverse people. I want nothing more than to tell your love story right.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Carmelisse was a dream come true! She did both our engagement and wedding photos. With all of the ups and downs of planning a wedding during Covid, she made the process seamless with her communication and informative emails. Which was greatly appreciative. I was contacting several photographers who just sent “links” that didn’t say much. Which I feel at the beginning stages of a planning a wedding , information is important, and Carmelisse understands that, and gives you all needed details. She came highly recommend from three people (and they were absolutely right)! She did amazing at not just capturing “posed” shots, but the “candid” moments. The photos we never knew we needed, yet are absolutely grateful for. For the engagement shot, it was myself, my husband and our active four year old son! Carmelisse rolled with not only our awkwardness but the wildness of us chasing our son around. She found a way to balance us out and capture the love in every moment. On our wedding day, she knocked it out the park! Every guest and family member was raving about Carmelisse and her team! She was efficient, kind, professional and fun! She out did herself with accomplishing our “Hollywood glam” look and capturing everyone in there best moments! Another big thing, I love about Carmelisse is her delivery of photos, she sticks to her timeline that she gives, and her presentation of photos is not only beautiful, but organized (which made it easy to navigate). Thankful for everything that Carmelisse brought to the table with her experience! She is a 10/10!

Stephen Tang Photo

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,100
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
To say that I love and trust Stephen's work is an understatement. I live in New York City with some of the most talented photographers in the world available for hire, and my first choice wedding photographer was to fly Stephen Tang to NYC from Los Angeles. I wouldn’t trust or want anyone else for the job of capturing our wedding. We have worked with Stephen before, and I just love his style of work. I also fell in love with his studio work after seeing another couple's engagement photos and wanted similar pictures for our own. Stephen knocked it out of the park. Stephen exceeded our expectations with the wedding photos. We have everything we requested and much more than we realized we needed. It was so fun to relive our wedding through the pictures. The only potential downside of my wedding pictures was I realized that I forgot to take a picture with my grandfather. I felt pretty terrible about it. I received my pictures from Stephen and cried because there was a beautiful candid of my grandfather and I. It was so much better than a posed photo. It captured the essence of who we are. You get what you pay for with weddings. Your pictures are your memories. They live on for generations. It was important to us to have the best photographs, and we knew we could trust Stehen to capture the event beautifully. Stephen went above and beyond our expectations and worth every cent. It won't be 2,000 photos and duplicates of the same shot. He’s going to give you a beautiful, curated story of your wedding. Stephen was also very helpful with looking over my timeline and telling me what was realistic. His experience allowed me to set expectations for what I'd receive, and he did nothing if not exceed them. Wedding days are beautiful. They are intimate, but they are also stressful. I’ve been to weddings where the photographer brings an anxious energy. That’s not Stephen. He’s calm and confident. He also takes charge in a non abrasive way. On my wedding day I needed that. I needed my photographer to be a calming influence and I’m so grateful that I had exactly what I needed. Stephen Tang.

Gabbie Burseth Photo

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,200
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

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
For our wedding experience, my husband and I were looking for a photographer that specialized in candids— someone who was focused on capturing natural moments versus the formal, posed ones. Gabbie delivered. She photographed our at-home engagement session, our typhoon-ridden wedding day, and threw in a post-wedding session for free due to circumstances out of our control on the wedding day. Our venue was not prepared for the day to be rained out, so there was minor chaos that I learned of after the fact. Gabbie and her second shooter never let on to any mishaps or miscommunications on the venue’s behalf and fought through the absolute freezing rain with us all day. We deeply cherish all of the photos she took… from us dancing together in the kitchen of our first home, to us bundled up under an umbrella, kissing in the rain after the ceremony, to priceless images of our friends and family breaking it down on the dance floor at the reception, and to the bridal portraits she took of us months after the wedding when she wasn’t satisfied with what we were able to get on the actual wedding day. We have nothing but great things to say about Gabbie and would highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
Since receiving our wedding photos from Jess, several of my friends and family members (including 2 professional photographers!) have asked me for her contact info because of how amazing her photos are!! When we started looking for a wedding photographer, we knew that we needed to find someone with a great eye for candids, who wouldn't make our pictures feel too staged, who had a fun/funky vibe like us, and who could handle wrangling my extremely large family (full of very opinionated people) for family photos, and Jess handled everything with ease! I feel so lucky that we found Jess, and I cannot recommend her more. Jess made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding day, and even gave guidance to family members who are normally awkward in photos (e.g. suggesting ways to pose to make them more comfortable). Jess went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, checking in with us, getting to know us, and even coming to a venue walkthrough so she could get a sense of the space! I am so grateful for all of the work Jess put into our wedding, and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I rarely even like photos of myself, but I honestly am so in love with the ones that Jess took that I jump on every opportunity to whip out my phone and share them with friends!

Beyond weddings, I also specialize in capturing milestone moments like graduation portraits and formal events.

I have known Jordan for a while as an event photographer and wasn't sure if he did grad pictures, especially for groups. I was pleased to figure out that he does grad photos too and is extremely flexible about it! I had a group of around 11 people, and he was able to give me quick responses about the rate, which was an absolute deal. Jordan really cares for his clients and makes sure that everything is discussed before the event, including an itinerary. He was extremely flexible if we needed an extra hour and potential location itinerary changes. Coordinating 11 people for a photo shoot is not easy, but Jordan managed to do it with ease, attention to detail, and efficiency! Thanks to his expertise and creativity with poses and shots, we got some amazing solo and group shots that we will remember for a lifetime. He magically makes the experience very efficient, but is also not afraid to have fun! Highly recommend!

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.

We enjoyed the overall experience with Indigo West from the start. He understood our preference for mostly candid photography and he did mostly that, leaving us plenty of time to mingle with guests. The photos he did direct we also loved it was nice he kept that quick, which made it very easy for us! Very happy with this vendor!

My wife and I had actually happened upon Demecio and Luna Bella two years prior to our wedding completely by chance at a wedding expo in LA. Like any prospective couple, we had no idea what we were looking for. Luna Bella was actually one of the first vendors we spoke to on the floor that day. Hours later we had come to the conclusion that they were probably who we would choose for photos, it wasn't even close after talking to a hall full of photographers. Luna Bella was actually the first vendor we officially booked and by far the single best choice we made. We actually contracted Demecio and his team to do our engagement photos on top of the wedding photos, from the start he was extremely courteous and his enthusiasm made the day fun. Even early on Demecio was open to our ideas and engaged in even the smallest details my wife or I suggested. Post engagement he was easy to communicate with, for all the vendors we worked with, it was more like talking to a friend than just someone working a contract. This was made even more apparent as leading up to our wedding and the day of his team was as excited as we were for the wedding day. There's a million things that go into a wedding day and obviously having someone to rely on to help line out details and timelines like Demecio was a godsend. On site the day of, Demecio and his team weren't just photographers. Of all things, the last thing I expected was to be complimented on how much fun our wedding guests had interacting with his whole team. Some of my family mentioned his team members by name recounting small moments they helped inspire and capture in photos we later saw. Beyond that the Luna Bella team took so much love and care in their craft, if you're willing to spend the time with them, they're willing to go the extra mile to capture just the most gorgeous photos you'll ever see. Quality wise the delivery was timely and the style of the photos looked clean and natural. Overall I cannot recommend Demecio and the whole team at Luna Bella enough. They're straightforward in their promises and over deliver on results. An extraordinary team that I'm beyond grateful to have met.

Photography has been my passion for over 10 years, and each wedding I shoot tells a unique story. I care about connecting with my couples, understanding their love stories, and creating images that reflect their personalities and emotions. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and I’m dedicated to capturing every precious moment. As a proud father and recently engaged, my family inspires me daily, reinforcing the importance of capturing cherished moments. I bring this same love and dedication to every wedding I photograph.

Sarahi Photo

  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

Sarahi was so sweet and open in our consultation. We knew from the start that she was the photographer we needed. It was the first consultation with a photographer in which we did not feel pushed to book or left with any questions. She told us what to expect and and gave us advice if we decided not to book her! During the wedding she was so Kind and was able to keep my crazy family on check and participate in photos! We loved her and loved the photos!

Joey is such an incredible photographer, and we feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with him! From the very beginning, he included us in the brainstorming and design process to make sure he captured the moments that were important to us throughout our wedding day. He was always very prompt and professional, quickly responding to emails and messages. On our wedding day itself, he did such an incredible job floating throughout the wedding and reception, capturing so many different moments while seamlessly being part of the celebration and party. When we reviewed the photos afterwards, we were blown away by how even in every photograph, he was able to capture so much of the magic and joy of the day itself! His editing was top notch, and he did an excellent job augmentingthe beauty of each moment. Every photo was incredibly evocative, and looking through his photos now brings us back to that special day. He was instrumental in memorializing such a beautiful night of celebration, and we cannot recommend his services enough!

Hello! My name is Brenda and I've resided in SoCal all of my life. Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Brenda for a small ceremony we had. She was great, she was sweet and I felt comfortable with her which is how I wanted to feel in our photos. She was patient and made the process of taking photos easy. I was amazed when she sent a few example photos the next day..they were all beautiful. I’m so excited to see the rest. Thankfully Brenda knew how to use zoom which was a huge help for us, she was quick to offer help and I appreciated that greatly. I know for sure if we ever need a photographer for anything else we would definitely use Brenda again.
