Hey there! I'm Madison- a seasoned elopement and micro wedding photographer based in sunny Southern California. Since 2017, I've been on a mission to capture life's most precious moments through my lens. My photography style? Think sweet, golden, and bright – a reflection of the radiant energy of California living.

Madison far exceeded our expectations. She was prompt, professional and so good at giving us direction. I felt like I could totally trust her and depend on her the day of my wedding during the most frenzied moments. She calmed us with her kind presence and got the job done so beautifully. She sent us a sneak peaks of our photos two days after our wedding and we were BLOWN away!!! Man oh man, she is a talented photographer. She captured the very essence of romance and love in our photos. We can’t wait to see the rest and will absolutely be hiring her for our future pregnancy photo shoot!! Thank you so much Madison for your hard work, talent and attention to detail!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac here with Intristry Pictures, I've worked with Maria several times this past year and every experience was great. We started referring each other late 2018 and since we developed a working relationship it's been joyous every time. I've worked with several photographers and she has to be one of the best communicators I've seen. Working with her is easy smooth, and allows the wedding day to flow so much better (For the Bride and us). The way she has handles stressful situations was with ease and I can see her Brides getting every ounce of her professionalism. I highly recommend Maria as a photographer.

I want to create a fun, stress-free wedding photography experience for you from start to finish! I want to be here for you every step of the way, from the first email to the final delivered gallery. I am here to serve you in any way I can! I want you to know I value all of my couples immensely, and I don't take it lightly when choosing me to photograph your big day. I mean it when I say I got you. Please know I'm here every step of the way as you begin planning the wedding of your dreams.

We LOVE our engagement and wedding photos so so so much. There are so many amazing photos to choose from it makes it hard to post and print…. so I end up spamming IG and FB a lot lol. Ashley was great to work with and really made us feel so relaxed on our wedding day. We were nervous for the engagement session but it was a lot of fun and the end results came out so amazing that we had so much trust in her the day of the wedding. She got amazing photos of the scenery and of us both times. She was available for all my call requests the weeks leading up to the wedding and helped me plan the timeline so that everything flowed and worked really well. We ended up finishing our couple, bridal party, and family photos so quickly. It was such a great experience. Its been a few months since the engagement session and a couple months since the wedding and I still look at all the pics so often! Thank you Ashley!!!!!!

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.

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

Awarded Best of Zola
A wedding day takes hours, days and sometimes years to plan and then that day goes by faster than a speeding bullet! But thanks to 4ever-Moore my day was beautifully captured and will last a lifetime. Moments that I didn’t remember happening were captured and brings joy to my husband and I every time we look at them. It was the little things that he brought to life that made it all worth it! Bryce was very patient with us and relieved me of the anxiety that every bride has on that day relating to smile, poise, perfect angles and looking fat! It was his eye for detail that made my husband realize that all his favorites were significantly displayed throughout the day. Thank you 4ever-Moore for capturing my day!

Hi hi! My name is Nevaeh and I'm so honored that you have taken the time to look at my work! I am based out of both Joshua Tree, CA, and Albuquerque, NM. I am originally from New Mexico, but I moved to SoCal when I married my dreamy Marine. I have a cutesy pup names Rocky who is energetic and cuddly.

Nevaeh is not only an amazing photographer, but she’s an amazing person who is always smiling and working hard to capture the right moment. She photographed our wedding in 2020 (during Covid). It was a small outdoor wedding. She captured some amazing photos and always did so with a smile. She has so many great ideas and made it so easy to pose. She was great to work with and would recommend her to anyone in search of a photographer from family photos, senior photos to weddings. Nevaeh is your photographer!

  • Serves Big River, CA

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.

We can't thank Randall enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully! From our first meeting, he was incredibly helpful and easy to work with, making the entire process enjoyable. In fact, Randall is more than just a photographer. He has a network of professionals within the wedding industry that he's more than happy to connect you to. Whether it's a makeup artist, florist, DJ, and more! His calm demeanor and professionalism put us at ease, helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out stunning, perfectly capturing the emotions and details of our special day. Randall has truly become our family's photographer. He captured our proposal, engagement, and now our wedding, and we look forward to having him document our future milestones. If you're looking for a talented photographer who is also a joy to work with, look no further! Until next time, Randall! E & J

Meet Ellen, a Southern California native and seasoned visual storyteller: I've been photographing events and portraiture since 2017 and specialize in destination weddings and elopements. For me, the best part about being a photographer is getting to witness my client’s once in a lifetime memories being created and knowing that my work will allow future generations to experience those memories as well. I take on all types of creative photo shoots when I'm not shooting weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Ellen about a year ago now and I kept meaning to leave a review, then forgetting, then feeling awful because working with her was AMAZING. I contacted her and asked if she would be able to do a maternity shoot with my husband and me in Death Valley. We arranged everything and even though the weather was windy and somewhat cloudy, Ellen made it work! My husband is not a huge fan of having his photo taken but while Ellen was friendly, she was also down to business and directive (which I asked her to be), and my husband and I both loved how helpful and specific she was. When we got the photos back, I honestly couldn't believe how cool they looked. We are definitely not models but the photos Ellen took belong in a magazine! She told us exactly how to stand, what to do with our hands, where to look, how to swirl my dress, etc and we truly couldn't be happier with the final product. It took me so long to write this review because soon after we got our photos, I had a baby! But I wanted to finally do this because looking back at the pictures we took a year ago brings back so many wonderful memories, and I am truly thankful that we were able to book Ellen. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for any occasion!

My name is Zyaire Porter and I am the photographer of Porterhouse LA Weddings. Born & raised in Los Angeles, I have been capturing weddings professionally since 2013. I have been #TeamNikon since the beginning and currently shoot with the Z9 + Z7. I answer every email myself (no bots or assistants).

Awarded Best of Zola
Porterhouse LA did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. Zyaire was artistic, punctual, and precise. We received our photos very quickly after the wedding, and are absolutely in love with them. We’ll treasure these for the rest of our lives, and have had so much joy from sharing them with others. The comments we’ve received have all been about how beautiful the wedding looked, how good everyone looked, and how gorgeous the photos were overall, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Zyaire met with us over Zoom twice before the actual wedding, and took every one of our concerns and questions seriously. He had a good answer to everything, and it convinced us that we were dealing with a consummate professional. We also asked him to shoot our welcome party for guests, and he was able to oblige with that, as well. We first met him in person for the welcome party, and he was already there when we arrived, getting background shots of the venue. This was something we hadn’t even considered, but it was really valuable - having shots of the venue, and the venue for our wedding, helped put the other photos in context for people who weren’t able to attend, and gave us mementos of the locations themselves.

If you are getting married in SoCal, and it’s important to you to find a team of photographers that make you feel comfortable and make your love shine through the camera, look no further than Peterson Design Photography . Marissa and Tim are not only a great team, communicators and photographers, but they are also pretty awesome to talk to; before, during and after your event. They took great care with our angles and personalities, they really made us shine with joy while taking photos, even when we are far from ideal models. Marissa had impeccable communication to make sure no detail is left to chance, and that was so reassuring to a type-a like me that had tons of checklists and picture inspiration. Being honest, we won a giveaway and didn’t do an economic investment for our elopement, but the value in all their work makes me confident in saying that they are worth it, that YOU and YOUR event are worth the investment, to get pictures that truly capture the real emotions of the day. We are so grateful to Marissa and Tim, and would trust them a million times again with our most precious day

Looking for a photographer is difficult and so expensive. We talked to many and even though everyone is professional we never felt cared for till we spoke to Renee. Her and Ricky her husband/videographer were both so great and thoughtful. They checked out our venue to get an overlay. We met up on another day for a engagement session which turned out amazing! It was really fun and enjoyable. They were both so flexible and patient. In my opinion they turned out to be more than just our photographers. On our wedding things got hectic due to rain and plans changing but they both adjusted accordingly. All of our photos look amazing and they got great candid shots si we that's what we wanted.

I'm in love with taking photos and I spend all of my time working on fine-tuning my photography but also getting deeper than just taking photos. I am taking photos with the purpose now more than ever. Its been my years of experience that has helped me develop my photography into art and not just a picture taker. From the moment I meet my clients, I want to know as much as I can. Getting closer to a client really transcends into the photographs I am taking of them and their special day.

Toby is the best! If you need an amazing, trustworthy photographer that will do an awesome job then he’s your guy! Super reliable and easy to work with. Thank you Toby! - Jared Sislin

Julie exceeded our expectations. We felt like we had the best photographer in Montana, and honestly we did. Julie was kind, patient, extremely professional, and worked hard to make sure every special moment was captured. She had amazing communication from the start, including video calls to understand our desires, regular email communication, and set up a written plan of exactly who and what we wanted photographed. I was most impressed when we took the family portraits. In the moment, it’s such a chaotic scene with so many different getting distracted and wandering around, yet she was efficient and was able to get everyone’s photographs complete within a short amount of time. She self-directs and kept herself on schedule, so all I had to do was be a bride and enjoy my day knowing I had full confidence in her. When we received our photos, I was in awe of how beautiful they are. We are so lucky to have had Julie and I 100% recommend her to any bride.

I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

We loved our experience with Julia. She was very good with her communication from the beginning. She started out with making sure she knew what we wanted from the shoot and then made sure we knew what things to bring so we'd be prepared for the shoot. Julia has a naturally open personality and it was fun to talk to her during the shoot. To finish it off, the pictures she gave back to us were absolutely gorgeous! 10/10 experience all the way through :)

Michael was such a pleasure to work with from our first initial meeting until the very end. He was very attentive to detail and what was wanted by my Husband and I. We greatly appreciated his commitment to do his job in the best possible way he can. He is truly talented with his ideas and we absolutely love that there is not this unrealistic editing. I think another great thing he does it he kind of just flows and camouflages as you don’t really realize he’s there but the photos show that he was definitely capturing moments that you may not have noticed, but will be so grateful to see. It’s very natural. It’s very nice . He was awesome, he even stayed a tad past his allotted leaving time at my wedding to make sure that he got the best shots for us . It was very easy with him very laxed and didn’t feel. like a stranger from the beginning, it was very comfortable and I knew that he was the perfect person to choose I highly recommend Michael services for any photo session you require.

Your experience with me starts long before you step in front of my lens. I take the time and energy to get to know you & your story, so that I can capture the parts of your relationship that are authentically YOU. So that you can look back on the photos from this season of life, and feel like you're right back in that moment, feeling those same feels. To me, a perfectly posed & still photograph doesn't capture a feeling the way that a candid one can. I direct my couples to create images that are full of movement and those intimate in-between moments.

Shelby is so easy to work with and cares so much about her craft. It shows in her work, the time and effort she puts into her business, and her communication with her clients. I was overwhelmed and a bit nervous about choosing a photographer because there’s so many out there - plus, you want someone to fit your needs for your most special life memories, capture your vision, etc etc. Shelby will do that. She AMAZED me. If you want a photographer who you can be sure will check all the boxes, you’ll have made the right choice with her. She made us feel like naturals in front of the camera, picked the most amazing shooting location, and really knows what she’s doing. Also her turnaround time on photos was amazing. I would book her again and again and refer her to people whenever I can!!!
