Randall de Leon Photography

Los Angeles, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Waipahu, HI for additional fees

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.

First, let us start by saying that Randall has been nothing short of AMAZING for all three of the photo shoots we have booked with him. We were lucky to have him first shoot our Wedding and capture our special day. The photos we received in return were exceptional down to the littlest details. Ever since then, Randall has been our go-to photographer to capture all of our life’s biggest moments. He has captured our maternity shoot, and shortly after that he captured our newborn shoot of our daughter. Not once have we ever been let down or felt unappreciated to be his customers. His photography skills are AMAZING, but what sets Randall apart from others is his ability to bond and really get to know his customers. He has gone above and beyond multiple times to ensure that we are satisfied with our results. He truly has become like family to us, and we can think of no other person we would like to capture our milestone life achievements than him! If you are ever in need of a photographer to capture any of life’s special moments and looking for someone who is personable, talented, and trustworthy look no further than Randall. You will be glad you did it, and love the results you get in return!

Justin Kunimoto Photography

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

I first saw Justin's work when someone I knew posted their engagement/wedding photos on Instagram, and I was immediately drawn by how beautiful each photo was, his mastery of working with light, and how you could literally feel emotion emanating from the images. This was almost 3 years before I had to look for a wedding photographer, and when I was starting my search, I knew that I had to reach out to him to see if he could work with us for our wedding. By the time we had our engagement photo shoot with him, it was so clear that he was an incredible artist. He knew exactly how to give us direction to make every photo special, and he was also so much fun to work with and to get to know. He was such a great presence to have on our wedding day, made everyone feel so comfortable, and documented the day perfectly. When we looked through our final photos, it felt like we were reliving the entire day and then some, since he captured so many details that we did not get to appreciate among the craziness of the day. He is a consummate professional who responds rapidly to any emails/questions and returned our final portfolios in lightning speed. We cannot recommend him enough.

Hey y’all! My name's Gabriella, I love sunshine and I'm a documentary-style wedding & engagement photographer based in Philadelphia. I'm a hopeless romantic and I adore documenting love stories with my camera in a beautiful & compelling way. Basically, I’m a down-to-earth gal from Pennsylvania who got hooked on the travel bug at college in Georgia (go dawgs!!), has a passion for storytelling and absolutely loves love. Running, biking and chasing sunsets are my favorite pastimes. I’m team coffee AND team tea. I dream real big and I’m full of ambition. Oh, and I'm not just you wedding photographer ... I'm your new friend :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Oh all the amazing things we could say couldn’t describe how amazing Gabriella is! From the moment we reached out to Gabriella she was nothing but responsive, helpful, and extremely talented! Our engagement photos we went into with mixed feelings because we aren’t great with having our photos or knowing how to pose. Gabriella made us feel so comfortable, relaxed, and helped us get into the groove of being photographed. She delivered our gallery super quick and we loved every single photo! Fast forward to wedding day and we could wait to work with her again! She kept me calm and relaxed all day made family photos with our large group seamless and everything was right on time with the schedule. She seriously was the most helpful person along the way and was always one email away! We received our sneak peak and when I say I can’t stop looking at the amazing photos she captured of our perfect day! We truly couldn’t have done it without her and we will never be able to thank her enough for being the best! I would seriously recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Aloha! Thank you for considering me for your big day. I love telling your love story visually and artistically. Everyone has a unique story and I like getting to know what you want for wedding day so I can be sure to capture exactly what you are looking for. I’m happy to set up a call to discuss what you would like or create a custom shoot. Check out my website or Instagram for more photos and to contact me www.taraleephotography.net and @taralee.photo I look forward to hearing from you!

10/10 would recommend using Tara Lee Photography! Our wedding day was documented from start to finish in the most PERFECT way. From capturing all the small details to capturing all the moments she executed it all so seamlessly. I told Tara on our phone call that I wanted everything documented, and she got ALL THE THINGS!! We had a mishap and my husband hurt his knee... about 30 minutes before the wedding ended we had to leave for the ER. Tara was respectful and compassionate, she asked if she was okay to document the family and friends surrounding him in a room. Tara lets us have fun, be goofy and just go along with all our shenanigans... I love that she just laughed with us and snapped away at the moments. We received our photos within FOUR WEEKS, our contract stated it would be 6-8 weeks... so I was beyond over the moon to get them early. Major brownie points!! My husband and I sat and looked through all the photos on our TV together for the first time...it felt like if a stranger were to look through all the photos they could tell you the story of our night. It was just what I wanted from our photographer... to look back in 15/20/40 years and relive the amazing moments. We plan to have a coffee table book made, along with prints to hang in our home. BIG MAHALO to Tara!!

THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER YOU WILL FIND! We’ve used Carly for many family sessions, our engagement session (in Red Rock, NV), and of course our wedding, and I plan to stay in contact and use her for family sessions in the future! We got married during COVID and she was so helpful with being accommodating to our small ceremony, and booking us for our reception next year. Not to mention, she helped us find an officiant, and has been able to answer every question I had about weddings in general. Her knowledge in the industry goes far beyond photography/videography. Carly radiates joy and love to every single couple that she is with. My husband is not a fan of pictures, but he leaves sessions with the Drzazgas in a great mood, Carly is so good at making us laugh! All of our photos turn out GORGEOUS!!! Pictures are something I truly cherish and she always does the most perfect job at capturing all of our special moments that we will be able to look at forever. She is incredibly talented at what she does, but she is also an incredible person who would be the perfect choice for your special day. Not only do I feel like we had the best photographer and photos, but I also feel like Carly became a friend throughout our process and knows our story so well. I could not recommend her more.

Justin McCallum Photography

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Waipahu, HI for additional fees

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was phenomenal to work with! We hired him as we noticed how, compared to the other photographers we were considering, his images evoked fun and a world of vivid colors, and above all, everyone in his photos looked HAPPY, which is a harder quality to find in professional wedding photos than you might think. Anyway, Justin did not disappoint! While a consummate professional, he was also incredibly fun to work with and was great at putting us at ease in order to get the best, most natural photos possible. He brilliantly captured the warmth and love of our wedding day. We felt seen and understood throughout the process of working with him, and the resulting images were gorgeous, bursting with light, color, and joy.

Welcome to Arie T. Photography, a black queer woman-owned and operated traveling portrait and wedding photography service based out of the Georgia and Michigan! I've had the honor of capturing all walks of life across the USA with hopes of taking it worldwide. I'm known for my use of natural light, and "unposed” stress-free approach when it comes to my clients. If you feel like you’re awkward in front of the camera, I’ll take that as a challenge to prove you wrong because I can be awkward too.

One of the best wedding decisions we made was booking Arie's photography services. Arie's energy, professionalism, and eye for detail are truly unmatched! Staying in constant communication with us from the day we booked, the regular check-ins were extremely helpful and reassuring in the chaos of wedding planning. By the time we met in person it felt like we had known Arie for years. On our wedding day she brought a calm and upbeat energy which made her a joy to have in the bridal and groom suites while we prepped for the ceremony. During our very lively reception Arie seemed to be everywhere at once, capturing every detail we asked for and so many more. The way Arie seamlessly moved throughout the events prompted our guests to ask if she worked for the venue! She came extremely prepared, was extremely professional, and it showed. Arie is truly an artist who not only took and produced beautiful photos, but managed to capture our vibe. We are so grateful to have found Arie and will DEFINITELY be booking services for our future events!

Hi There! I'm Sally! Nice to meet you! I am a passionate couples photographer in the St. Louis, Missouri region. I am known for my warm, candid photo style. Forget stiff poses, I am ALL about directing with fun prompts!! I want to capture the raw emotion instilled in you. Let me tell the story of your relationship, family, personal life, etc! My clients mean the world to me & I am always ready to help them in any way that I can! I get to know you, so I can make you the most comfortable during our session.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful to have landed Sally to be part of our wedding day—she was the perfect fit for our intimate, immediate-family Utah destination wedding. The stars aligned and we happened to be getting married at a location on her Bucket List, meaning we only paid the cost of her travel and lodging from St. Louis. Working with Sally was an incredible experience and an absolute steal. From the time we booked with Sally, it was clear that she is experienced, genuinely loves her work, and takes the time to really understand clients’ visions for their day. In initial video consult, she was direct about the best times/lighting for photos, yet flexible and willing to plan our day just the way we wanted. She was fast in responding (almost immediate) and responsive to any/all questions or requests ahead of time. Sally not only traveled to Utah and woke up at 3 AM with us to capture sunrise photos—she stayed with us and sustained her energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism for the next 9 hours or so. (We parted ways in the afternoon but think she might have kept going for another 9 hours if our party hadn’t all been ready for a nap!) The photo sessions themselves were fun, adventurous, and lighthearted. Sally is true to her style, which is to capture her subjects as their authentic selves—resulting in a mix of traditional portraits and more whimsical, natural, and candid shots. We love our photos! Sally was also exceptionally efficient during group photos: as she had curated a list of groupings we wanted ahead of time, she pulled these up and we were done with family shots in under 20 minutes (and they turned out fabulous)! To top everything off, Sally sent us a celebration goodies box ahead of our wedding as well as a beautiful wedding gift afterward. In all, we could not have chosen better and recommend Sally 100x over!

Jewmarrah, was extremely sweet, patient, professional and was flexible with our demanding schedule! She was able to capture some beautiful moments between my husband and I.

Sophia could not have been a better photographer for our day.

She was timely, incredibly easy to communicate with, and had a great vibe about her and the pictures she wanted. Her assistant was phenomenal, as well. Seriously could not recommend a better photographer for your day! Thank you for everything, Sohpia! You are fabulous!

Fueled by equal parts sweet tea and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

I’ve worked with Melinda twice now. My husband and I wanted to surprise his mom with family portraits since she’s been begging for this for years. She didn’t want to be in them, but wanted all her kids and grandchildren to take photos together. She was wonderful with the kids and showed so much patience. The photos turned out beautifully! Our second session was on a cliff that we hiked a short hike to have these gorgeous photos taken on. It was the fall (right when the leaves where changing) and it was just perfect! These photos were to makeup for our wedding day photos that we didn’t get to have done because we were lead to believe that my husband’s uncle would be taking them for us, which really didn’t happen as planned. We told Melinda what type of backdrop we wanted and she hit the nail on the head with the location she chose for us. She worked with our tough schedule and showed up on time. We didn’t know anything about posing for photos and wanted them to look very natural, she told us where to move, stand, etc. and the photos turned out just perfect! We had so many compliments on them! I’m a bit nervous when people “stare” at me. Makes me feel weird but I didn’t feel that way with her, she honestly made us feel so very comfortable. I didn’t feel as if she was judging me and she didn’t make me feel like I was doing everything wrong. She was so very patient. She’d ask if she could touch my arm to move me, she’d say can I move this strand of hair hanging in front of your face, and etc. she was just very helpful all around. My husband at the time had a mole on his head, he was very self conscious about it. He asked her to remove it if she could from any photos it shows in and she did exactly that and you could never even tell it was there! When we need photos again we will definitely work with her. She’s such a blessing to work with. Melinda is very reliable, professional, down to earth, knowledgeable, punctual, patient, and friendly!

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

Laura was absolutely wonderful to work with. We love our photos so much! We were thrilled with the whole experience. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and blended in seamlessly at our tiny backyard wedding. Her rates are very reasonable and she was so fast with edits - we have access to all our photos only a week after the wedding! Laura is very communicative, clear about her policies, and and flexible when needed. She is also warm and friendly and was a terrific part of our big day. We highly recommend her!
