  • Fine art style
  • Serves Surfside, CA

Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming professional in 2017, my journey has taken me across the United States and around the world, where I've had the privilege of serving more than 200 couples on their special day. My approach to photography stands apart from traditional documentary styles. I focus on the natural colors and rich content of each moment, striving to highlight real-time emotions through thoughtful lighting and composition. My goal is to celebrate the unique narrative of every couple by capturing their happiness and love story with a distinct light-and-airy perspective.

My wife & I could not be happier with the quality of work & professionalism shown by Steven and his crew. In the chaos of family members and friends meeting for the first time, Steven quietly captured so many beautiful moments. During our first look, he made everyone feel at ease and never failed to get everyone laughing for pictures. At the ceremony, he caught all the important moments without being disruptive to our intimate ceremony. His talent and creativity shone through in every shot, creating so many stunning images that we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend Steven enough for his professional, calming attitude, and unique beautiful style of photography!

Cassy Velazquez Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Surfside, CA

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

I can’t recommend Cassy V enough! We loved working with her for our wedding. She was so professional and kind to work with. She helped scout our couples photo shoot ahead of time so we didn’t have to do it ourselves, which is above and beyond. Her team and her did an amazing job during our chaotic tea ceremony and reception! We had 300 guests and they managed to capture the best moments us!

Julia Lukash Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Surfside, CA

Hey, I am Julia. My photography style combines curated, editorial touches with authentic, candid moments. To capture the unique essence of your wedding day, I often utilize a blend of both digital and film photography. With over a decade of experience, I have spent my career learning from and collaborating with leading industry professionals.

I can't even imagine how the day could have gone without Julia. My (now) spouse and I decided to elope in Santa Barbara on a short notice and invited a few guests. Needless to say, we didn't know how to pose or act or even where to go to get the photos we had in mind. But Julia came to the rescue. From the start, she was communicative and responsive. On the day, she came prepared, having looked at the photos we had sent her for inspiration, and she knew exactly how and where to get the shots we wanted. She took a variety of funny, serious, and elegant photos, and by the end, we were all just having a laugh, including the guests. Julia really did a fantastic job, and I cannot recommend her enough to everyone. You can't go wrong!

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

We are so happy that we chose Madeleine as our photographer. From the first email onward she was always very friendly and easy to communicate with. We chose her because we love her work and editing style but our experience with her surpassed all expectations. She is a genius behind the lens. She coordinated with us wonderfully and made many great suggestions. We met her in person for the first time at our engagement photo session and felt comfortable with her right away. She was very patient with me and understanding of my health/special needs. And during our wedding day she facilitated the day and kept us on schedule for photos. She worked great with our vendor team and made our experience a lovely one. She is so kind and professional. We absolutely love all of the photos we have received so far. We highly recommend her .

Judith Banos Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,499
  • Serves Surfside, CA

Originally from Mexico with a background in architecture, I discovered my true calling behind the camera at age 13. What started as a teenage passion has blossomed into Judith Baños Photography, where I've spent years documenting life's most precious moments. My architectural training gives me a unique perspective on composition and light. As a bilingual photographer, I specialize in weddings, proposals, elopements, and pet photography because I believe in preserving memories that last forever.

Judith took our engagement photos when I proposed to my fiancee at her parents' home in Manhattan Beach. Judith was phenomenal. The photos were stunning, she allowed the scene to unfold naturally while still making sure to get the best shots. She stopped at nothing too, once we gave her the go-ahead. She even lied down on the ground to get the ring shining off the sun. I could not recommend her highly enough for your needs. Everyone who's seen our photos has been so complimentary, and we could not be more thrilled with her work.

Mallory Dawn Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $8,600
  • Serves Surfside, CA

My name is Mallory, and I am a fine art film wedding photographer based out of Southern California & available worldwide. Growing up I always had a creative mind. I felt drawn to the camera but never knew why, or that one day it would become one of my main purposes in life. I began my business in 2012 and can honestly say that I have never looked back. I would describe my style as delicate, romantic, elegant, but most importantly - timeless.

Mallory is the epitome of a professional photographer but embodies the comfort of a best friend. She has truly honed her craft and is wonderful to work with. She has made my camera-shy husband feel at ease during our engagement shoot, & she has incredible attention to detail. Her photos are timeless and elegant, and the photos she has taken of me and my husband are my absolute favorite. I whole-heartedly recommend Mallory to anyone looking for classic jaw-dropping film photographs they will cherish forever.

Clients love working with me because I create a relaxed environment, deliver 80+ edited images per hour, and offer fast turnaround (2–3 business days).

The lighting, composition, and overall style of the images feel natural, elegant, and timeless. We also appreciated how quickly she shared sneak peeks after the wedding. We would absolutely recommend Marina to any couple looking for a talented and reliable wedding photographer.

Anatoliy K Weddings

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Surfside, CA

Anatoliy is from Kazakhstan, where he studied transportation technology at Karaganda State Technical University, before getting his MFA in filmmaking from New York Film Academy. Susie is from LA, and she studied molecular & cellular biology at Harvard University (along with film and animation), before getting her MS in computer science from UChicago. While we were both in engineering, deep down, we always had a passion for storytelling. And one day, we decided that life was far too short for us not to do what we loved: creating and sharing real stories.

I don't think there are words to truly express how much Anatoliy K, Susie, and team made our wedding photo dreams come true. From a perfect engagement shoot on the beach to our big day in a spring garden - the photos say it all! Each moment and detail was so perfectly captured, and made our hearts burst looking at each picture. We are truly blown away by the high-quality, attention to detail, and gorgeous compositions that came out of such a creative team. Once I saw AnatoliyK Weddings on Zola, they stood out, and they truly delivered. It was SUCH a pleasure and joy working with Anatoliy and Susie from the beginning to end. They made our vision come to life, and we have it for a lifetime to remember! THANK YOU so much to such an amazing wedding photography team. I cannot recommend you hire them enough!!!

Justin Kim Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Surfside, CA

I first began taking photos when my son, Andrew, was born in 1998. He is now my second photographer. I started my wedding photography career in 2000, working for a wedding studio part-time. In April 2019, I started as a full-time wedding photographer to pursue my life time goal. I would love to capture your unique love story!

Justin is an absolute blast to work with, I'm so glad we had him as our wedding photographer. Not only did our photos turn out incredible but he was so much fun to have as a part of our wedding. He's extremely interactive and involved, during our reception if he noticed someone on our dance floor trying to take a selfie he'd jump in with a spotlight so that their person photos would turn out great too. I just love how thoughtful that was! He caters to your wants for photos, while he guides and advises for what will look best he also listens to your ideas and makes sure that you get the photos that you want. Justin has an amazing personality, while very professional, he also had us cracking up the whole time and made our photo sessions not only moments that we had our photos taken but memories that make me smile and laugh when I think back on them. Rather than a vendor that we hired, Justin immediately felt like a friend that was celebrating with us. I highly recommend him and cannot thank him enough for all he did to add to our day and capture all the amazing moments for us.

An Orange County, California native who has had the pleasure of capturing genuine and lasting memories through professional photography since 2018. I was 7 years old when I picked up my first camera and I’ve been mesmerized since.

Not only did she make our photos flawless, she is a true hype girl and brings out natural smiles from the most awkward humans. She also took the time to let my baby niece use her camera to take blurry photos of the floor and she was mesmerized at 3 hours past her bedtime. I will be using her for all my future photo needs!
