A Perfect Impression

Brentwood, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,195
  • Serves Truckee, CA

A renowned wedding photography studio in the San Francisco Bay Area, has been capturing beautiful wedding moments for over two decades. In partnership with Wedgewood, our classically trained photographers and videographers cover around 100 weddings annually. We excel in not just photography but also in coordinating and assisting, ensuring a seamless and memorable wedding day for each couple.

We really enjoyed working with A Perfect Impression. We got married at Redwood Canyon by Wedgewood Weddings, and API was the photography vendor they recommended. We spoke with Aaron on the phone, and he got an idea of how we wanted the photos to be, the locations we wanted, etc. On our wedding day, we worked with Andy and Maddie, both amazing photographers. Andy especially made us feel comfortable taking pictures at the house while getting ready (the bride), at our church ceremony and at our reception venue. Maddie took great pictures during the activities to finish the night at our reception. We would definitely recommend A Perfect Impression for anyone's photographer needs.

Truckee, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900

Hi there!! I'm Steph! And I am SO psyched to meet you!! I love connecting with my clients - creating a lasting friendship that goes beyond the session! Shines is based in Truckee, California but frequents Washington, Tennessee & Kentucky for sessions every few months! We travel the world photographing your moments!

Steph is amazing! We were looking for someone who had a great eye for capturing both the intimacy between the couple and the natural beauty around them. We chose to work with Shines for both our engagement photo shoot and on wedding day and we could not have been happier. It felt like we had been friends forever and we had total trust in her to capture our special moments. She’s easygoing yet efficient (we had large wedding parties and were able to finish all the shots before the wedding so we could enjoy the party without getting pulled away), super professional, and will do anything for you to get the perfect shot (including climbing and standing at awkward angles on uneven rocks… she really is incredible). If you have the chance to work with her, DO IT! You won’t regret it.

I specialize in weddings with 40 guests or less.

Carnelian Bay, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked with Nicky a few times, both were non traditional ceremonies where hiking or skiing were involved. She is super fun and easy going and really makes couples feel relaxed. While she is easy going she is still professional and a great communicator. Her photos are beautiful as well. I look forward to working with her in the future and will continue to have her on my vendor referral list.

I could not recommend Mindy more! She was absolutely fantastic to work with and was extremely thoughtful and helpful with the entire experience. I used Mindy to capture two events, a proposal and and a surprise engagement party. For the proposal, Mindy spend a lot of time with me thinking through the right proposal spot at the location I was looking at to make sure that it worked for the photos, she even got there early to make sure that it worked. She was so well hidden to capture the proposal that for a moment I wasn't sure she was there, but she was and captured it and spent time with us after to take photos. We just got the sneak peak of the photos and they look fantastic. For the surprise party Mindy got there early and started to capture moments even before my fiancee and I arrived, she was really flexible on what worked best for the event so we can't wait to see the final photos!

Kirstin Bimson Photography

Davis, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $999

As a photographer, I consider myself a 'generalist'. I photograph a little of everything: portraits, weddings, events, commercial, news and editorial, street photography, fine-art, the neighborhood stray cat... I learned early on that I enjoy too many different styles and subjects, enjoy experimenting with different mediums too much to "settle down" and limit myself solely to one genre. I have found that has given my work a wonderful versatility and breadth. I like that, and I hope you'll like that too.

Kirsten is a consummate professional and handled the chaos of my wedding day with her steady manner. She is very responsive and accommodating. Her communication is great and in particular she was equipped to deal with a multicultural wedding where half the guests and family didn't speak English! The pictures are gorgeous and the whole experience with Kirsten from initial contact to the final (beautiful) result went smoothly!

Hi! My names Marissa, and I have one of the coolest jobs around - hanging out with people on their wedding day! I love iced coffee and Jamie Fraser and spend my spare time reading or hanging out with my horse!

We had the best experience working with Marissa for our wedding! For one, she has an amazing personality - she is fun and lighthearted, so easygoing, AND also very responsible and on top of things (which I so appreciate)! For two, we had the unfortunate timing with COVID of having to postpone our wedding and our engagement shoot, and she made it super easy. She helped me many times in the planning process, from walking through the timeline, to picking out my bridesmaid dress color. Day of, she contributed so well to the fun vibe of the day, kept us on time and therefore not stressing out, and captured some AMAZING photos of us! She also captured so many awesome candids during our day, that looking back you can really see and remember how people felt, what the vibe of the day was, and the funny things that happened too (like when my friend spilled white wine on my dress and Marissa came to the rescue with napkins;)) Thank you so much Marissa!

Hello, I have been in photography for about 10 years now started in nature photography and now in wedding photography. I love to incorporate nature in my surrounding in photo and almost stage a landscape in the background of your beautiful wedding to share your story. I love capturing people and faces and seeing the joy in every photo taken on a wedding day. I also love to capture the candid photos. most of all I have had a passion for photography for many years and the love for photography continues to grow for every wedding a I photograph.

Hailley was so easy to work with. We really didn't have too many traditional things as our wedding was smaller but she managed to capture such beautiful shots of everyone. I would highly recommend La Lune for photography of any kind. She is well organized and prepared to come and and take control all while having a smile on her face :)

Garden Valley, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

To me, photography is a medium that requires time, humility, thought, and trust. It is an art that lasts beyond yesterday, today and tomorrow. It captures moments of transition and development; and encourages light and vulnerability. It finds the light even where darkness may dwell. It shows order to chaos. And it celebrates courage, confidence and natural beauty. All that to say the heart behind my images are found where growth and humility meet and form something beautifully authentic. My desire is to capture that and make it last.

LOVE LOVE LOVE our gallery! The best, sweetest, most lovely memories from our wedding. Emma was like having your closest friend there photographing the best part of the day. She got the big stuff but also gave us some beautiful shots of family and friends. I love looking through our album. It brings a big old smile to my face every time! She's incredible! Her work is full of love and joy. 10/10!

We met in San Diego when Sandra was a senior at SDSU. At the time she was working at the Mission Valley Skatepark where Josh frequently skated. Having heard from friends that Josh worked at a local camera store. One fateful day she approached him to see if he could develop an unprocessed roll of b&w film. A few years later a good friend who happened to be a skatepark ramp builder the same one in fact who had built the Skatepark where we met was getting married. Knowing we were into photography, they asked us. We had never photographed a wedding before and were nervous at the idea of taking on such responsibility. Talk about destiny.

Nichole made me forget about all the little things that could potentially go wrong on our wedding day because her energy was so positive.

My family was also so pleased with how they came out and it’s so nice to see our family members having multiple printed photos from our wedding day displayed in their houses.

We chose Hok as our photographer for a pre-wedding session after seeing other wedding pictures taken by him. We were truly amazed and satisfied with the pictures he took for us. We then decided to have him photograph for our wedding day. The pictures are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL and VIVID. He is best at capturing every precious moments and all of the happy faces of our guests, and he is also experienced at telling us how to pose for great pictures. Years later, we can still feel the joy of that day, knowing how happy our guests enjoyed our wedding from the pictures. I will give him a 10 stars if possible. Thanks again, Hok!

hey you! thanks for dropping by. my name is shelby, and i am a queer artist and manhattan based photographer who specializes in weddings + equine portraiture. my priority as a photographer is developing a personal relationship with each and every one of my clients (two or four legged). your special moments are their most pure when you are comfortable and ready to just have fun, and i am here to create that joyful space.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shelby Phillips impressed me from the start. Before reaching out to her via email in the summer of 2018, I took some time to learn about her. From her personal blog, I learned that she is a graduate of NYU, that she loves photographing horses, that she is also an actor and a writer, and that she has a passion for bringing moments to life through photography. From looking at her curated selection of photographs on her website, I quickly learned that she cares about the minor gestures, the subtleties of a moment, and the play of light. At the time I found her (in 2018), I believe wedding photography was not her main focus; it seemed that she photographed more four-legged animals than did two-legged ones. I personally did not mind this one bit; rather, I found her versatility as a photographer to be a source of strength. If she could capture emotion and beauty without outward displays of emotions and beauty, then that speaks to her craft as an artist. I found her gentle and personal touch to photography to resonate deeply with me, and I also appreciated how she wrote about her life experiences in her blog. Here was a passionate young woman who not only observes the world with her eyes, but also attunes to it with her heart fully open. There was so much feeling evoked in both her writing and her photographs. There was so much vibrancy in her black-and-white captures. I was immediately hooked. I dedicate a whole blog post to Shelby here: https://www.booksmartstreetsmart.com/blog/2019/an-intimate-wedding-my-search-for-a-local-new-york-city-wedding-photographer Here's another snipped from my experience working with Shelby: The 5-minute walk to the wedding venue felt like eternity (in a good way!). I opted for an impractically long train for my wedding dress (I’m old-fashioned at heart!) so my younger sister dedicatedly carried it as I walked ahead of her. There were many stares from strangers along the way, but honestly, I did not pay attention because I was so focused on taking small steps so that I would not trip, or worse, get my heels stuck between the cracks in the sidewalk. It was past 5pm and the sun was blazing hot, but because we were situated right by the water, there was an occasional gentle breeze. Shelby was particularly excited about the wind, because it paved the way for some truly magnificent “action shots.” As I slowly made my way to the venue with my sister directly behind me, and my mother and soon-to-be mother-in-law next to us, Shelby was quick on her feet, capturing the magic in the small moments, while playing with the light. As I look back on the photographs that she took of that day, I am amazed by how she chased the light throughout the day and into the evening, how she beautifully brought life into still photographs, and how she managed to capture all our family and friends in a way that reflects each person’s personality. Today, when I visit Shelby’s website, I immediately notice that it has grown substantially. Since I signed my wedding photography contract, Shelby has taken on many other weddings, bringing life to a blank canvas by means of her camera lens, coupled with her eye for precious moments. I am so pleased to know that she is doing well, and that her dedication to her craft has paid off. PS. It is now 2021 and Shelby and I are still in touch! :) Thank you Shelby <3

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

Loren Hansen.... Oh my gosh... Where to even start?! This beautiful lady is seriously THE. BEST. EVER!!! Our important day literally would not have been possible without her. We hired her for our engagement photos first, which were beyond stunning. Then lucked out and were able to snag her again for our wedding. She started the day bright and early at my Air BNB - naturally I was incredibly anxious getting ready for such an important day, and I cannot express enough how COMFORTABLE she made me feel. She is sooo easy going, and it never felt like a stuffy photo shoot. She was just casually taking beautiful & professional photos without disrupting us at all. Then she drove to the venue and snagged pics of the venue, vendors setting up, my husband-to-be getting ready with his parents, etc. Then of course the ceremony, friends & family, the couple, then the party. I mean, she was with us for 10 hours. She works her bootie off and it SHOWS. We had 80 guests at our wedding and she managed to get a photo of every single person. Perfect combination of staged & in the moment shots. If you don't hire Loren you are making a HUGE mistake. I would seriously consider her one of my friends at this point. She made such an impact and is just such an amazing human being. 20 OUT OF 5 STARS!! LOVE YOU LOREN!!

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements, to hiking engagements, to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York and California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, and candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few awesomely unique shots on top of it all.

Simply put, Kathryn was amazing. The pictures came out beyond magical. Prior to our wedding, she was so communicative and made sure to answer any questions we had. She took the time to understand expectations and made sure we were on the same page. She is on top of details and played a big role in making sure our day ran smoothly! Part of our memories of our day was simply how fun it was to work with her and Antoine. Both of them are just soo personable that we were sad our day ended because it means we won’t see them again. We could not be more pleased with the results. Kathryn delivered a huge collection of stunning photos. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kathryn to all couples looking for a photographer. We love you Kathryn and the team, thank you for being a dream team to work with. Keep it up!

Lauren and Jamie here. Hi! We love all love. We’re down to earth, creatively driven, ready for beautiful adventures, and in this business for the moments. We're so excited to hear about your wedding plans and to start chatting-- we'll do our best to get back to you within 24 hours. A great way to start getting to know us is over on Instagram where we post and share behind the scenes on stories almost daily: @eicharphotography Head to our website to see our images in full res and to stalk us some more: www.eicharphotography.com Looking forward to your email!

I started looking for photographers after realizing that our nighttime, entirely virtual ceremony (thanks Covid) wouldn't be conducive to good photos and booked her for wedding portraits before the ceremony. After having gotten our pictures back, I'm am so happy and relieved I trusted my gut with them. Not only did Lauren scout out and help us find locations that would work in our extremely limited time frame (I can't say enough about how awesome she was for finding spots based on our desired background + helping us find niche parking spots on google maps), but she made us feel so comfortable and confident. Throughout the photoshoot she was exceedingly positive and encouraging, and my husband and I left feeling like rockstars. She paid attention to our good/bad angles - she kept directing us to do things during the shoot (like crack jokes, switch sides, etc) that saved us from our less photogenic tendencies. She was also highly professional, diffusing a couple of awkward situations with people in our shoot locations and setting a timer to make sure we got back to start our ceremony on time. The pictures largely speak for themselves though. My husband and I are notoriously bad at having photos taken and I was really nervous about having only a few good ones to choose from. I'm still surprised that I've only been able to narrow my favorites down to 80 pictures! I loved the types of shots she took, which were a great blend of up-close moments and landscape shots. I also had a few "props", like a bouquet and dupatta, and she was great at figuring out when to add/remove them from a shot. I feel like the editing style is good balance of modern and classic, and I have no worries about these pictures aging badly. I could go on forever, but coming from a person who was sincerely worried that she was incapable of having a good photo taken, I can't recommend Eichar photography highly enough

Annie was such a pleasure to work with! We hired her for our small 2020 wedding and again for our larger, postponed reception in 2021. She was very understanding and flexible during the entire process. What first attracted us to her work was her ability to capture the moments that told the story of the day, not just a portfolio of staged photos. My husband does not like to be in the spotlight and can be awkward in photos. Annie made everyone feel comfortable and nabbed fantastic photos where everyone looked great--and she was very discreet while shooting. My family still talks about how great she was to work with. On top of all that, the photos she delivered were stunning! We got back so many wonderful shots. And the walnut box we received as part of our photography package was even better quality than I expected. Thank you Annie, for being so kind and professional from start to finish!

Courtland is one of the best wedding photographers out there. When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we had a few other photographer plans fall through and we couldn't be happier that we were referred to Courtland. From the very beginning Courtland was constantly learning more about us as people to get a better idea of what we wanted in our wedding photos. During our wedding, he made us feel comfortable and helped us throughout the process (as a hobbyist photographer myself, I feel very uncomfortable being on the other side of the camera) with getting us in the perfect position and lighting to create some amazing photos. He had us fill out information about ourselves and when we had our wedding photo reveal, he got us gifts from the questionnaire he had us fill out earlier, which made it feel all the more personal to us. We are very happy to be his "Clients for Life" and we highly recommend Courtland to anyone.

Working with her was wonderful, from the ease of communication to her professionalism and flexibility. We currently have several of her photos on our wall at home and they make me smile every time I see them. She managed to find the right backdrops to create pictures that aren't just lovely mementos, they are works of art. To our surprise, she sent us first peek images in less than 24 hours, which was amazing and so fun to look at on our honeymoon! Beyond her talent as a photographer, Lisa is also such a kind person that she makes everyone feel comfortable and she is always open to questions, comments, or suggestions. I can't imagine a better wedding photographer. And I should say that we loved Lisa's work so much that we've now had her take family pictures for us four years in a row. We now have two (sometimes grumpy) little kids and she is AMAZING at getting them to behave and look their best while choosing locations that are amazing backdrops for what could otherwise be run-of-the-mill family photos.

These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives.

While we originally hired M and Rob of Vild Photography to photograph our micro-wedding in Lake Tahoe, we ultimately decided to elope after COVID hit. Through Plans A and B, Rob and M couldn't have been more communicative, flexible, and accommodating in helping us work through the details (and it was amazing to actually be able to tap into their secret superpower—scouting and shooting adventurous elopements. They're not just wedding photographers—Rob and M are wedding planners, location scouts, hiking buddies, officiants/witnesses, and the list goes on. Not only that, but they turned our elopement into a true EXPERIENCE. Whether it was driving in our Jeep to the most jaw-dropping location atop a mountain (my husband couldn't get over the fact that we got to off-road TO our wedding) or sipping champagne and watching the sun go down over Lake Tahoe as newlyweds, our evening spent with Vild Photography was truly the best night of our lives. When it comes to something as intimate as an elopement, it goes a long way to vibe and connect with your photographers. Not only are Rob and M INSANELY talented, but they're also the coolest, most fun folks to hang out with—and that 100% translates to our photos: we look so relaxed, happy, present, and "in the moment" in all of them. And that's truly how we felt that night. Whether you're eloping or having a more traditional ceremony, Rob and M are seriously special people and I couldn't recommend them enough. They took what could've been a basic elopement and turned it into an adventure that we'll remember and treasure for the rest of our lives. I cannot speak highly enough.

Looking for candids, street-style, and a mix of digital and film? Aryk is the photographer for you! Aryk captured all aspects of our September San Francisco wedding (welcome party, getting ready, ceremony, and reception), and every single image he captured was perfect. We wanted a gallery consisting mainly of candids and street-style images shot on mainly film but also digital, and Aryk delivered just that. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera, but we felt so comfortable with Aryk behind the camera! Aryk is incredibly calm, kind, fun, easy-going, creative, and thoughtful, professional, and punctual. He responded very quickly to emails not only from us, but also from our family members who had questions once we received our gallery. Added bonus: Aryk was very popular with our friends, family, and other vendors. Not only did everyone love the photos he captured, but they loved getting to spend time with Aryk. We are still receiving compliments on our photos! We highly recommend Aryk, and we will definitely work with him again.

I have been photographing couples for nearly 10 years and have loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed following them through engagement, wedding, maternity and now family sessions. I have even become life long friends with some of them. I am a mother of 3 and have always loved art, and once I picked up my camera and found a way to tell others love stories, I knew I found what I was supposed to do.

We hired Michelle for our wedding and wow... where do I start?? Michelle and her assistant were INCREDIBLE! They were super friendly, thoughtful, funny, helpful and just made us feel incredible comfortable! My husband and I are shy people who do not like to be the center of attention and do not like to get our pictures taken, so we were both anxious about it. As soon as they started, we ended up actually having so much fun, laughing and having a great time getting our pictures taken! I have seen a few sneak peeks and am already in tears at how beautifully they turned out. I CANNOT wait to see how the others turned out! We will 100% be working with her again in the future! Thank you Michelle for the wonderful memories! Definitely do not hesitate and hire Valley Images Photography for your next event, you will not regret it!

RICARDO IS YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER AND RUNS THE BUSINESS AND MAKES SURE EVERYTHING GOES AS IT SHOULD. THERE IS A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.OUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS BOLD & CREATIVE, AIMING TO TELL STORIES AND DOCUMENT THE REAL MOMENTS. WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOOT A FEW FORMALS AND WE ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM SESSIONS.

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

From being willing to balance on a mossy log to get some gorgeous water pictures to making my husband and me (and our bridal party) feel so comfortable in front of a camera, Jazmín is so professional, kind, and has an eye for capturing the feeling and beauty of a place. She covered our day from beginning to end, and without her, we wouldn't have had many pictures from our day. We've never had professional photos taken of us before, and every photo Jazmín has taken of us is our favourite. We feel REALLY lucky to have had her there to capture so many moments of that day and to be able to look back on her work brings back so many happy memories. Thank you, Jazmín!

Working with Olivia on multiple jobs were some of my favorite experiences because not only were the photos exceptional, the way she guided and calmed the guests and team makes for an enjoyable experience all around.

My style is natural and photojournalistic. I love capturing unscripted moments because those are the type of photos that tell a richer story of your day. Working with me means nothing overly posed, nothing awkward, nothing that doesn't feel like YOU. While we'll spend some time doing portraits, my priority is for you to be present and enjoy your wedding day. I like to shoot discreetly with an emphasis on candids so from the moment you first see each other to that last hilarious toast, you’ll be relaxed and focused on one another and not even noticed I’m there.

My musical group, Bay Area Strings, has performed at several weddings and receptions where Vivian was the photographer. Her event work is unobtrusive, taking great photographs without anyone noticing! We have ended up using several of her candid photographs of our string players, as she has a great eye for composition and color, with a modern and artistic style that still focuses on personality of the subjects. I have also noticed that her turnaround time to provide high-quality photos to the client and vendors is very fast compared to many others we have worked with.

For some unknown reason I have loved weddings since I was a kid. That’s the first thing. But then… I got married. And that is indescribable. So… if you happen to be here because you have met someone special, and you are making moves, CONGRATULATIONS! You really are in for the ride of a lifetime. So… my first photos? Yup. They were from a wedding! Unfortunately they took the human knee as their subject because I was short, because I was five years old. One auspicious day I brought a camera to a friends’ wedding. I partied. I had a fabulous time. Afterwards they told me I should have said something, my photos were better than the hired pro.

Paul and I have worked together on some seriously complex wedding days. As a planner, I have to know and trust the vendors that come onto the team for wedding day and Paul was nothing short of a dream to work with.

We're a Scottish duo living our best lives in Los Angeles! We appreciate unpopular TV shows, all the vegan food, and a good old road trip. But our most favorite thing is our two fur-kids (bunnies!). We are not typical wedding photographers, that is for certain. We go against the usual grain, and that's exactly how we like it to roll. Normal is boring. Well, for us, at least. Not just for the 'wild at heart' and 'free-spirited'. For e v e r y o n e. And we mean it. We don't discriminate. Ever.

Asking The Hendrys to photograph our wedding was one of the easiest decisions we made during the planning process and also one of the best. They are incredible and did such a great job capturing our vibe and the feeling of the day. They are also the nicest people ever and instantly made us and everyone in our wedding party feel at home in front of the camera! Pro tip, we asked them to take our engagement photos so we could all get to know each other before the big day, and I strongly recommend others follow suit. The price was very reasonable and the photos are INCREDIBLE. My only regret is that we don't have another major life event in the near future so we can hang with them again/star in more of their amazing work!

Elopements are an incredible way to fuse together everything you love about doing life with your person and celebrate your relationship in a genuine, meaningful way. They allow you to put your marriage first. To release any pressure or judgment and just be you, together. Not only are you committing your life to someone you love more than anything, but you’re starting the adventure of a lifetime with an adventure of a lifetime. And because I’ll be there to help you craft the whole thing, and document it as it unfolds, you can relive your best day ever; over and over, forever.

I shot my first elopement wedding film with Jayne and she was such a joy to work with! Not only was she helpful in making sure I could get the shots I need, but she definitely had a rapport with the couple that really put them at ease. The other thing that really stood out was how thoughtful and detailed she was. She had done so much scouting, research, and leg work that the day just flowed really well and everything was just easy!

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best.

Hi. It’s Michelle. And I’m a photographer who lets you relive every moment of your wedding. You cried coming down the aisle? Perfect! The best man forgot the rings? Hilarious! Three-hour portrait sessions? No way! Couples (and moms) ask me all the time…“How did you get that shot? I didn’t even see you!” That’s my style… unobtrusive, authentic, exceptional. I truly love what I do and it shows in emotional, meaningful photography. So, give me a ring. I can't wait to hear all about your big day!

We absolutely loved working with Michelle for our wedding. Michelle is so fun and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera from day one! She helped turn our “Covid/backyard” wedding into the most amazing and special day. She captures the most incredible moments and has an unbelievable eye for detail. Our day would not have been the same without her. Her love of “love” is contagious and everyone around her can feel it. Michelle is the absolute best. We cannot recommend her enough. She is so easy to work with and truly makes the wedding planning experience fun and memorable.

I'm Amy, chief picture taker, head editor, dubious web designer, and volunteer animal hugger at Amy Little Photography. Work is always fun because I'm never far from snacks and never close to snakes. Taking pretty pictures is easy. But documenting the honest, emotionally raw, and laugh-out-loud, because you didn't know that happened pictures is where I really shine. Photographing hundreds of weddings has deepened my joy of authentic storytelling. It's also been a catalyst for my cake addiction so I hope you're cool with being an enabler.

I LOVE working with Amy! She has such a fun personality and her work is beautiful.

Hey, I'm Marisa! I work with couples to help capture their dream wedding day! Most days you can find me drinking coffee in front of my computer editing the day away. If I’m not home in the SF Bay Area, I’m most likely in the Sierras or at a session off the grid. Outdoor adventures light up my soul! I basically live out of a duffle bag. In my free time you can find me drinking wine with friends, maybe on a run, laying around with my dog, near a lake or finding the best tacos.

Marisa is truly the best! When my husband and I first booked her last year, we were nervous to do our engagement photos, we were and are (lol) not the “photogenic/IG” type couple. But Marisa ran with it and made the whole session comfortable and embraced our quirky-ness! Fast forward to our wedding (2weeks ago) Marisa and her team were a dream! My husband and I didnt feel awkward, they were all so great no matter what scenario and/or event came up! (Insert ants) I’m so happy to have had Marisa be a part of such a special day for my husband and I! There is no one else I would go to for my future life events! Thank you so much Marisa!!

Life is full of amazing moments. Moments we want to hang onto tight, moments we want to never forget, moments we want to be able to re-experience anytime. There is a way to do just that - photography. How often have we looked at a photo and the whole memory comes flooding back? How often does a photo make us laugh or cry? When we share photos with others, they want to know more about the moment. We share the stories, and in doing so, we bring them in on the memory too.

Without Angela & James my wedding would have been postponed or cancelled. Angela gave me info to help my wedding possible in the time of COVID. And let me tell you... they are TRULY A BLESSING. The best investment we made for the wedding was photography. I told my husband that was something I would not budge on and I’m glad I didn’t, Angela and James became like friends to us. I text Angela on the holidays and even when my son was born! They pay so much attention to detail that looking back at my photos they captured moments that I didn’t even realize were a part of my wedding. Their turnaround time is remarkable, all the sneak peaks made me want to see more and more and when I got the final photos I was in awe of all of them. Thank you to Angela & James for capturing the beautiful moments of our wedding!!!! Such genuine people and I’m glad that we met them and built a friendship!!!!

My name is Robert McBride. I am a professional wedding and event photographer based in Sacramento, CA. I have photographed more than 120 events in Northern California. I have loved photography since high school in the 80s. I have an amazing day job where I have worked for 20+ years so I sincerely don't do this for the money. I really just love photography and weddings in particular. I try to keep the prices reasonably priced to cover my costs and gear but really I want you to have professional pictures and still have money for things like a honeymoon :)   

I've worked with Robert McBride of McBride Pictures on multiple weddings, and it's always a pleasure. He's responsive to my emails, easy to work with on the wedding day, and quick to turn around the photos, which always look beautiful. I think my couples have felt comfortable with him behind the camera, guiding them into poses that will look flattering in the final photos. I'm always happy when I have a wedding with Robert!
