Where do I begin?.. It can be an overwhelming decision when it comes to wedding vendors. When we came across Carlos @ Garciapics we were initially intrigued by his location being that he is in our hometown. Upon meeting him the first time, we were greeted with his enthusiastic personality, he came well prepared with portfolio shoots & pricing details. The fact that he was available & willing to travel to our ceremony location, beach wedding photo shoot and reception venue was a major bonus. There is no doubt in my mind we made the right choice to hire him for our special occasion. I feel so blessed and honored to have come across such an amazing photographer. I am grateful for his continued communication after we decided on hiring his services, he kept in touch regularly and responded promptly to any inquiries we had. I had family and friends videoing parts of our ceremony where he could be seen fluffing and fixing our aisle runner. That really touched our hearts, Carlos, we can’t thank you enough. The pictures were sent earlier than expected and we enjoyed reliving the moments captured. I wish I could attach all the memories but will include a few beautiful shots that he put together for us. We highly recommend his photography business! Thanks to your wife as well. God Bless.

Jess was so reliable and communicative throughout the entire process from beginning to end. She went above and beyond with the quality (and quantity) of gorgeous photos! Jess and her team made us feel comfortable and were efficient at taking photos during our wedding day. I didn’t want to feel take away from the moment to “pose” and I never was- but I got all the photos I could ever ask for! She captured all the special moments beautifully. I would recommend her work to anyone who wants an easy going photographer and dreamy wedding photos to look back on! We can’t thank you enough Jess!

HI, I’M HILLARIE HUGHES . I am a lifestyle/wedding photographer based out of Merced, CA. I’m 30 years old, a wife and a mother to four beautiful kids. It's safe to say that I'm a VERY busy mama! You can catch me with my kindle when I’m not editing, and being as active as I can be in my children's lives. Never in a million years did I think that people would love my photos as much as they do, but I am so grateful and so blessed! I am learning more and more every session that I have, and have been incredibly lucky to have such awesome clients (turned into forever friends!) that have been with me during this entire journey.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Hillarie was the best decision I could have made for my wedding. I had a wedding at a venue she had never been to, and was a little nervous about her not being familiar with the grounds. My nerves were silly because she absolutely killed it. She over delivers and is the sweetest calm in the chaos. I wish I could relive my wedding day over and over, including having her there. I am so happy I went with her.

Northern California wedding photographer inspired by real moments between people who love each other and dreamy lighting. There is nothing I love more than capturing emotion and details in all the magical moments. I want to deliver photos filled with emotion, fun, and laughter. I bring lots of love and energy with me to make you feel comfortable so you can have fun in front of the camera. I work to build a true friendship with you to create trust which aids in gorgeous photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Natalie as our photographer for our wedding was like working with your best friend (I'm serious). She made us laugh the entire time, got just as excited as I did (if not more) over details for the flat lay, and was the perfect match for my husband's sarcasm. What more could you want in a photographer? What drew me, initially, to Natalie was her bright and light photos that captured candid moments beautifully. My husband and I have a very fun-loving personality and to find a photographer that captured every laugh was an instant-win. Natalie took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we could not be happier, as every photo was absolutely amazing and told a story throughout the engagement session and wedding. I will always look back on these photos with the biggest smile on my face, because they are simply beautiful. You can tell that she is painstakingly meticulous in curating the perfect gallery for you and that she loves her couples. If you're thinking of hiring Natalie for your wedding, do not hesitate. She was an absolute dream to work with and I hope we can work together in the future!

Hi there! I'm Kelly, and I'm a wedding photographer in Northern California + beyond. I specialize in capturing love, light, and laughter in color. Playful photo sessions mixed with poses that will make you feel like a model make me giddy. I live for the nose crinkle laughter and being there for all my clients' big moments.

I'd love to chat with you!

Kelly was a joy to work with for our wedding. Her kindness and attentive nature from beginning to end was wonderful. She listened so well to our vision and captured our day beautifully. She made us both feel so comfortable and relaxed when taking our photos. Kelly delivers such high quality work, making it all look so easy

  • Serves Thornton, CA

Jeff Carnie Photography captures authentic moments through portraits, weddings, real estate, and aerial imagery—serving Northern and Central California with professional, storytelling-driven photography you can trust.

I cannot recommend Jeff Carnie enough! I hired him for a surprise engagement proposal at a restaurant, and the planning process was incredibly smooth. We set it up so that Jeff and his wife were seated right next to us as regular diners, and my fiancee had absolutely no clue until the big moment. Jeff was a joy to work with and very professional. He and his wife coordinated everything perfectly to capture the proposal right at our table. The photos of the moment are really special and exactly what we wanted. On top of that, the turnaround time was amazing; we received our edited photos just two days later. If you are looking for a photographer who is easy to plan with and delivers high quality images, you should definitely hire Jeff.

I love being able to capture the love that my couples have for each other and the unique energy each couple has. I am always down to shoot in new locations and find the best place for my shoots!

From our first contact with Te Dua Weddings, their communication style was quick, relatable and reassuring. The quality of their work was truly elegant, personal, elevated and storytelling. They had a calm presence throughout the day and even helped carry my dress train when I was worried about it getting dirty. It felt like the Te Dua team was there not only as a vendor, but as friends who wanted our wedding to feel personal and seamless. They really cared about us as clients rather than just getting the shot. The video was delivered fast and beautifully, capturing all the special moments of our day. We could not have asked for a better videography team to document our wedding.

From first contact to wedding day, I am so happy to have chosen Elle and Co. and specifically Dani.  I couldn't be happier with communication, energy, and direction while taking photos.  Our Colorado elopement was beautiful and Dani helped with every step including finding a wonderful spot.  She kept us updated on weather and timeline so we had nothing to worry about and even hyped us up beforehand.  During my boudoir shoot she made extra effort to make me comfortable since I've never done anything like that before.  The pictures were so good and made the perfect wedding day gift for my new hubby.  Highly recommend Elle and Co. to anyone who has photography needs but especially if you think you might want to elope to a gorgeous spot and do a private event or if you want to take some boudoir type photos for a special gift.  She goes above and beyond with everything she does and you can't do better.  Thanks Dani!!
