Hi, I'm Lu. Weddings are more than just events — they’re a collection of fleeting, beautiful moments that deserve to be remembered just as they felt. From the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the joy on the dance floor, my goal is to capture the raw emotion, the small in-between glances, and all the laughter and happy tears that make your day uniquely yours. Every couple’s journey is different, and it’s a privilege to be trusted with telling yours. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I’m here to ensure your wedding gallery feels as real and unforgettable as the day itself.

Lauren is a dream. Not only does she know exactly what angles that make you feel most beautiful but she puts you in such a comfortable setting that you feel safe with her and so confident. I’ve worked with Lauren four times and it has always been a pleasure. She has an eye for amazing photos and I love every image that she has captured of me. Do not hesitate on booking with Lauren as she is a true professional who will capture your dreams! I adore you, Lauren, thank you for everything!

Kiernan Michelle Photography

Thousand Oaks, CA
  • Classic style

My favorite part about what I do is working with all of the great couples I get to meet. I love getting to know my clients and discovering what is most important to them about their wedding day. Each and every wedding is different and each deserves a unique approach to capture thoughtfully. It is exciting that I get to see into so many different little worlds every day. My motto is to do everything in love, and I feel like that is reflected in my work and attention to detail. Also, its great getting to be around happy people all day!

On your wedding day things go by so quickly and it can be difficult to think back on specific moments or individual details. So, I can't overstress the importance of getting great photos that capture things as they were, rather than just an exciting blur of color and familiar happy faces that your memory will likely be left with. Keeping that in mind, the photographer you choose and trust with such an integral part of your wedding day has to be someone you have full confidence in and, wholeheartedly, I can say that Kiernan meets and exceeds all the expectations of what makes an incredible wedding photographer. She was able to make my (now) husband and I feel relaxed, while also offering VERY helpful and necessary directions of how to pose (down to the way to tilt our head, where to look, where our hands should be, etc) and that was so appreciated! It made me feel so much more confident to know that if something needed to be changed or corrected in order to get the best photo possible, she would notice it and then she’d let us know what we need to do to get that shot. Then, after the wedding, when my husband and I received our sneak peek photos, (which were sent so quickly that we got them while we were still in our post-wedding hotel suite) and we were blown away by how beautiful they turned out. There were so many amazing shots that I loved, I couldn’t pick a favorite... I had at least 10-15 top favorites. To wrap it up, Kiernan is an insanely talented photographer, a true professional and just an overall sweet, lovely person. If you are getting married soon and are looking for a photographer that will be able to deliver photos you will cherish forever AND who will make you feel comfortable and confident while the photos are being taken... I highly recommend Kiernan Michelle Photography, as I sincerely believe she is the best you will find... I know she was for me!

Since 2011, we have had the honor of capturing unforgettable moments for couples and a wide range of celebrity clients. Our work has been featured by ABC, CNN, Yahoo, Us Weekly, People, and Brides magazine.

Hiring Anton and his team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We hesitated at first because the investment was higher than we planned, but it was absolutely worth it. The level of professionalism, creativity, and organization was outstanding. The team knew exactly what they were doing, used high end equipment, and made the entire day feel effortless. Communication was easy from start to finish, and we have zero regrets.

We are Dustin and Courtney, best friends and photographers. Before we shot weddings together we were a bride and groom. Yep, dated and married in less than a year! We just knew we wanted to do life together. As time has gone by we learned much more important things about each other. For example, Dustin’s heart can easily be won over with a hot cup of coffee, surfing, chasing our kids and any action movie. Courtney's perfect day includes drinking a chai latte, going for a hike with the family and shopping.

Dustin and his team were truly a delight to work with for my wedding! He is so kind, creative, attentive, profressional, positive, energetic and makes you feel at ease during your event. My husband does not like to take photos and he had nothing but great things to say about Dustin. And the pictures of course were amazing! Do not hesitate to book Dustin for your next event, you won't regret it!

From making music videos for pop stars, to lighting models on fashion magazine shoots, my career has given me a variety of experiences and growth. My approach to photography is a blend of capturing photojournalistic candid moments and editorial portraits with thoughtful details, and beautiful light. I've always been a bit rebellious, a bit poetic, and I always knew I wanted to be a photographer, creatively telling stories like yours.

She was amazing to work with! She made our visit come to life and look effortless. Her communication was perfect and she answered any and all questions we had. Was extremely helpful in helping us look for a location and giving us direction while taking pictures. We had such a great day and would recommend her to anyone and everyone! The pictures turned out amazing and she got them to us rather quickly, you won’t regret it if you choose her to help with your special day.

Jesi B Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Thousand Oaks, CA

With over fourteen years of Art, Design and Photography experience, I pride myself in treating Photography as not just a profession, but a passion. To me photography is a way of life, an addiction and a creative outlet. I consider myself to be an artist and photography is my chosen medium. I am a wife and mother of 2 very busy teenagers. I am also a world traveler and scuba diver, who loves animals, being in nature and finding the beauty in the little things.

If you’re looking for a sign to hire Jesi as your wedding photographer, this is it. She is that good. From the very beginning of wedding planning to the final gallery delivery, Jesi was nothing short of incredible. Her work is everything I dreamed of moody, timeless, dramatic, and beautifully editorial. The photos we received are absolutely insanely stunning and truly everything I had envisioned. I still can’t stop looking at them! Jesi did more than just show up and take pictures. She became a mini wedding planner, a guide, and honestly a friend throughout the entire process. She checked in on me via FaceTime, shared advice and vendor recommendations, sent helpful links (everything from vintage rental cars to groom accessories), and provided super helpful wedding and rehearsal checklists. She also sent over a detailed questionnaire to make sure she fully understood our vision, shot list, and timeline. Her thoughtfulness and experience took so much stress off my plate. On the wedding day, Jesi exceeded every expectation. She arrived extra early (which any bride knows is a MAJOR relief) and once it was time for photos, she made us feel confident and comfortable. My husband and I are not natural posers, but she guided us with ease hyping us up, giving clear direction, and reminding us how amazing everything looked. She even showed us sneak peeks throughout the day, which was so fun and reassuring. The morning of the wedding she also sent a sweet message that instantly calmed my nerves. It was such a small gesture but meant the world to me. And the best part? The sneak peek gallery she delivered afterward wasn’t just a handful of photos, it was a huge selection, and every single shot was gorgeous. I don’t know how she does it, but she gets so many photos and somehow they’re all incredible. I truly cannot recommend Jesi enough. She is talented, thoughtful, professional, creative, and genuinely invested in her couples. She was everything I wanted in a photographer and so much more. If you’re considering booking her, don’t hesitate, just do it. You’ll be so grateful you did!

  • Serves Thousand Oaks, CA

From the moment I photographed my first wedding, I knew that I was exactly where I should be. This small business has evolved into a passion for weddings, couples, lifestyle sessions, and more. I fell in love with photography in high school, graduated college, and now pursuing my goal of capturing all the in-between moments of laughter, smiles, tears, and all. I became addicted to all the small moments and meeting wonderful couples. I believe in capturing your vision for your special day. I can't wait to meet you.

From the moment we first spoke with Janely, we knew we had found our wedding photographer. She has a very interactive pre-book process. Her communication style was prompt, professional, and kind, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work is truly unique, with a dreamy, intentional, and romantic style that captured the essence of our special day. Janely went above and beyond, meeting with me beforehand to ease my stress, and being so kind and patient with the children in the family, even attempting to borrowing Cheerios from a grumpy 3-year-old! We are thrilled to receive the final photos and can't wait to work with Janely again for future milestones.

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.

Aladdin Films team was a great to work with. We hired them for our engagement photos, photography, and video for our wedding. We had noticed their work from various friends. From our initial meeting with them, we knew they were professional and easy to work with. Their portfolio of work assured us that they would capture our special day in the right light. They were easy to reach by email and replied quickly whenever we had questions. On the day of the wedding, the team was fully prepared for the long day of more than 12 hours of work. The team kept it light and fun but at the same time working together to capture the day while continuously looking to outdo each other creatively. Their attention to detail was impeccable. We have only received teasers at this point and looking forward to seeing more but we know they will be great. Many of our friends viewed the photo teasers and all were blown away. As one of our friends stated, "literally the most professional catalogue worthy wedding pics I've seen". We would highly recommend Aladdin Films. They not only did a great job capturing our personalities but also became a part of our special day.

My approach is calm, people-focused, and storytelling-driven—capturing your day as it naturally unfolds while preserving the emotion, movement, and meaningful details that make it yours. My goal is to deliver timeless photos that let you step right back into how your wedding day felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

Meg did our wedding and engagement photos in 2024 and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! (I’m just delayed in getting this review up). She was delightful and easy to work with and communicated well throughout the process (timelines, what to expect, what she needed from us). The photos themselves turned out amazing! We were both nervous about posing/feeling awkward but Meg put us at ease and gave the perfect amount of instruction. She embraced our vision/personalities but also helped guide us to some really fun and creative shots.
