Pink Heart Photography by Maria Evins

  • Serves Big River, CA

Hi!! I'm Maria, photographer, mom, wife, and nacho lover. Not listed in any particular order lol Once I had my first born, I realized going back to work at CBS was not what I wanted with 12 hour workdays. I took photography classes and decided to build my own business myself. I have been photographing weddings for the last 6 years and enjoy celebrating this amazing day with all my clients. Cheesy as it may sound, I'm an absolute romantic and I relish in witnessing the love, words said, and the joy found at every wedding.

Maria was my photographer for my wedding 9/3/2022. This review is long over due, I choose the Adele Package and I'm very very satisfied with my bridal shoot/wedding photos with Maria. I absolutely love my photos and I have since had the please of having Maria take my maternity shoot and most recently my "Trash The Dress" with her. I'm very grateful, that I have these memorable important milestones professional photography to look back at. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who is professional, on time, understand the vision you have, and most importantly is there is make you feel special and beautiful on your important day. You'll love your photos as much as, I love mine. Thank you once again Maria.

Hiring Vlad & Aida was the BEST decision we could have made! We had a wonderful experience working with them for both our engagement and wedding photos. From the very beginning, we both felt very comfortable with them and had so much fun shooting. Vlad and Aida provided us with a detailed timeline of shots to take on the wedding day where to be and how long it would take. It as a perfect timeline to share with my wedding coordinator and wedding party, it made day of stress free! We received our wedding photos in about a weeks after our wedding. If you are looking for a wedding photographer this is the perfect duo for your special day! Also their pricing is so competitive and if you give them your budget my experience was they did everything in their power to get you what you want in your budget, which not a lot of people did!! They easy to work with and totally open to all options in terms of traveling and locations. Cannot recommend enough!! Seriously having The Theodors capture our big day was the best decision ever and I will be recommending them to all my friends and family Will definitely be reaching out to them again for our next big life moments! :)

Dean was great. He went out of his way to chat with us before we had the chance to meet in person (we were traveling from out of country), and met with us at our ceremony site the day before to really make sure he captured our vision. The photos turned out great, and Dean really made us feel listened to and supported. Can't recommend him enough!

  • Serves Big River, CA

I am a traveling documentary wedding film photographer. For me, taking photos has always been a way to not only express myself but to connect with the people around me. Documenting life and love has become second nature to me over the last 6 years as a wedding photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dominic is an INCREDIBLY talented photographer! Him and his wife not only are artistically talented but working with them was so fun and relaxing! My fiancé HATES taking photos and they were able to capture amazing candid natural shots while allowing the more formal shots be fun and enjoyable. They were so great at corralling our large families but they were so respectful and made it STRESS FREE! Not to mention the final product photos were CHEFS KISS! I can’t recommend them enough! You won’t regret it!

Jenn & Pawel Photography

  • Serves Big River, CA

Pawel and I have know each other for more years than either one of us care to admit. We met the old fashion way, in a bar and have been married for 10 amazing years. In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenn and Pawel Photography were the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we booked them, their communication was easy, friendly and professional. They felt like part of the family, working seamlessly with everyone to capture all the special moments. Jenn and Pawel have an amazing artistic eye, turning every setting into a work of art. They brought wonderful ideas, were never bossy, and just got the job done with enthusiasm. We couldn't be happier with the incredible photos that beautifully preserve the joy of our wedding day. Hands down, Jenn and Pawel are the best photographer team around!

I'm a follower of Jesus, adventure lover, wife to Josiah (my husband of four years, personal chef, and favorite weirdo), and dog mom to Solo (the sweetest chihuahua you'll ever meet). When I'm not working, you'll find me with a friend at a coffee shop or curled up at home with a good book or a show; most likely a rom com. I'm a big fan of morning light, cold brew coffee, and dark chocolate anything. My favorite travel destination is the Oregon coast and my perfect day would consist of the beach, hiking, good food, and close friends.

  • Serves Big River, CA

Hi, my name is Alexandra Marie and I LOVE capturing love and freezing your memory forever. Getting to know you guys and hearing how you met is one of my favorite things ever. I understand the importance of preserving your memories and making them last a lifetime.

We hired Alexandra and her Sister Michele for a wedding their package came with a complimentary engagement session. We met Alexandra for the first time. Our first impression is as soon as she started talking she made us feel at ease. She took charge of the session, posing and directing us in many ways. My husband isn't the type to want to do photos ever and she had him smiling the entire time. By the end of our engagement session, it felt like we had known her for years. Fast forward to our wedding day, everything was going wrong. When Alexandra arrives she notices my face and right away goes and takes charge. She directed all the vendors to where they needed to be she made sure no one bugged me as I was getting ready. The entire night they were capturing everything without being asked. they made sure that we had pictures with almost every single guest. they took almost 4000 photos and provided them all to use edited within 3 months. They didn't charge us extra most of my friends were surprised when I shared that with them as most photographers charge extra after so many edits. I highly recommend them both they make it so easy to talk to and the booking process was really easy. I am forever grateful I had them capture our day. Gave us so many memories to look back on

At Elizabeth Kane Photography, we’re not just photographers; we’re your personal storytellers. Our mission is to capture your day with an authentic blend of documentary and editorial styles, highlighting the raw emotions and timeless moments that make your story uniquely yours. From the softest whispers to the grandest celebrations, we’re here to ensure every detail reflects the essence of your love.

There are many things that can go wrong in your wedding, but I can wholeheartedly say that choosing Elizabeth Kane Photography was one thing that was absolutely the BEST CHOICE we made for our Disney wedding! From beginning to end, Elizabeth was not only working as our photographer but was also making sure we developed a friendship to further build trust that we were in amazing hands. She traveled all the way from California to Orlando for our wedding and even went above and beyond her "behind the lens" duty to help with other areas of our wedding day! Honestly, long story short, words cannot describe how grateful we were (still are) that we chose Elizabeth for our wedding day. It was seriously the best day ever and she captured everything so perfectly; now, we'll have it all beautifully captured forever.
