Once on a lifetime events need to be captured by someone who can bring out the emotions and feelings in that day for years to come and he is the one who can do it.

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.

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

Los Angeles, 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.

10/10 would recommend randall!! We booked him for our engagement shoot and wedding and we are beyond appreciative and impressed. RDL is the only photographer my husband and I could agree on. We liked his photography style, the quality of the work, the price, and his personality. He even guided us with the timeline to make the most of the time and photography. For both the engagement shoot and wedding day, he guided us and made us feel comfortable. We’re def not models but he made us look great! We were able to get some posed shots and some Candids. He was PATIENT with us and didn’t make us feel awkward at all. The day of the wedding, I got so many compliments from our families with how they appreciated his presence. He kindly directed people and was patient with us and our guests. Def professional guy and just honestly a good personality. He’s also priced well. Def recommend booking a consult and booking him for your events!! You won’t regret it

A San Francisco based photographer for joyous individuals who value inclusivity and authenticity. With a documentary style approach, I am dedicated to preserving memories in a way that is fun and easy-going, making your comfort a top priority. I strive to capture meaningful photos in a way that feels true and unique to who you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were incredibly fortunate to have Khariza as our wedding photographer, and we cannot express how thrilled we are with the stunning work they delivered. From the initial consultation to the wedding day, every aspect of our experience was exceptional. Khariza possesses an incredible talent for capturing the essence and emotion of every moment. Their keen eye for detail and creative approach resulted in a collection of photographs that truly tell the story of our special day-- and that was just the teaser library. Each image reflects not only the beauty of the surroundings but also the love and joy that filled the air. What sets Khariza apart is not only their technical expertise but also their ability to make everyone feel at ease. They seamlessly blended into the background, allowing for candid shots that perfectly encapsulated the genuine emotions of the day. At the same time, during the posed shots, they provided clear direction with a friendly and calming demeanor, making the process enjoyable for everyone involved. The level of professionalism exhibited by Khariza was truly commendable. They were punctual, organized, and attentive to every detail. The dedication to their craft was evident throughout the entire event, and it translated into a final product that exceeded our expectations. In addition to their technical skills, Khariza demonstrated remarkable patience and flexibility. We have a very large family and often it was hard to wrangle everyone down in one space, but she did it! They navigated through various lighting conditions and captured beautiful shots in both posed and spontaneous settings. The post-production work was impeccable, with a careful selection of images and tasteful editing that enhanced rather than overshadowed the natural beauty of the moments. In summary, Khariza is not just a photographer; they are an artist who has the ability to freeze time and create lasting memories. We are forever grateful for the extraordinary work they did at our wedding. If you're looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond to capture the magic of your special day, look no further. They are, without a doubt, a five-star talent!

I’m Adam—a Boston native who’s now roaming around California photographing everything I see. When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks.

From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dani and I have known each other for 15 years, which is wild within itself. I’ve watched her photography journey for a long long time. Which is why the second we got engaged I KNEW we would hire her. We had an engagement shoot, as well as an “our day” vow shoot. Let me tell you, my husband and I are very much “guide us and we’ll follow” people. We’re indecisive, we’re go with the flow people, and that’s not always easy to work with. Dani from day one has guided us and taken care of EVERYTHING. From giving us options/ideas and brainstorming, to nailing the plans in place once we decided what we wanted to do. We had our vow day shoot in the Dolomites in Italy. Sebastian and I have never traveled like that together and Dani literally planned everything including what hike we were taking and timelined everything out. Which is exactly what we explained we needed and were looking for when working with her. She took everything we wanted and what we explained we wanted each experience to be like, and she nailed it. Nailed the photos. Nailed the locations. Nailed being an all around fantastic and easy person to work with. She also stayed in contact with us throughout the entire 2 years we have been planning together. She was our cheerleader, our planner, our listening ear, without a doubt I would recommend her to everyone and anyone. Not to mention these photos are to die for, and everyone is obsessed!

We worked with Marijo for our wedding this past May and she was wonderful! Our pre-wedding meeting went well, she asked a lot of questions about us as a couple and about what we wanted from our wedding photos, which we really liked because it gave us an idea about what our wedding day photography would be like, but also it showed that she is detail oriented. On the day of, she made my family as well as us really comfortable. Posing for photos can be very awkward, but she kept the mood light and made us laugh a lot which made for some really great, natural pictures. We took our couple photos at Pasadena City Hall on what must have been prom day for several high schools because the place was packed, but she managed to get us some really great, intimate shots away from other people taking photos. We really love how our pictures came out and are so excited to order some prints for ourselves and family. We highly recommend AM Badillo, and loved working with Marijo! She is sweet, friendly and very good at what she does.

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!

Hey y'all, I'm Meagan! This is typically the section where I should hype myself up, but instead, I’m going to actually tell you about me! I am a Northern California couples, elopement, and wedding photographer who encourages all my clients to include their dogs! Wondering where Lou Grace comes from? My business name is a tribute to my late grandfather, my guardian angel, and greatest supporter. I drink iced coffee year-round and I prefer Dutch Bros over Starbucks. I love country music but listen to just about everything and love a good song recommendation. Also, I’m obsessed with my dogs! Let me know if we have anything in common :)

Meagan was as easy and comfortable to work with as a best friend on my wedding day. She checked in with me throughout the day, gave me clear cues to look good and kept the whole experience with photos so lighthearted and fun. She pulled me away for photos at the perfect times so that I was actually able to enjoy my entire wedding day without feeling like it was one big photoshoot. I even got all my photos done in time to enjoy almost my entire cocktail hour! The photos she sent literally the next morning made my friends cry they were so beautiful. The work speaks for itself!!!

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA.

No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

Katherine was amazing to work with! She shot both our engagement and city hall photos and we could not have asked for a better partner. She was super patient with us and gave us great direction since we were both a little awkward in front of the camera. She always came prepared and made sure at City Hall she was able to get great shots from all the key places we had discussed. Bonus points, our parents loved the experience and the pictures!

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

We loved working with Stephen! He was professional and accommodating throughout the whole process of working with him. One of the most special things that Stephen has a talent for is taking candid photos and telling the story of the day through his photos. He captured so many unposed moments of people throughout the whole wedding day. We love seeing those real moments. From visibly being able to see the fun people were having to the joy that was felt to the dance moves and everything in between. We are happy with how all our photos turned out and would definitely recommend him!

Her personality is calming, open, and loving and that is so important for a photographer capturing some of the biggest moments in our lives!

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

She made us feel very comfortable and the experience was really fun! She also had great tips and ideas for poses. The pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL and I'm so happy I found Joyce! Would definitely recommend )

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

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.

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were looking for a wedding photographer and Roberta happened to be recommended to us by coworkers. After our first meeting, we knew that we were in good hands. Roberta is organized, pays attention to detail, and is incredibly easy to work with. Our venue was in Mammoth Lakes, about a 6 hour drive, and Roberta was more than happy to accommodate a destination wedding. She even scoped it out the day before to check the landscape and lighting. During our photo sessions, we felt relaxed and natural, at times not even realizing she was there. Her style was right in line with ours and fit the mountain venue perfectly. Roberta listened to our requests and truly captured every detail of our special day from start to finish. We are so grateful to have so many amazing pictures to look back on and remember it like it was yesterday. We highly recommend Roberta and would love to work with her again should we need photos in the future.

My wedding was in May and the weather surprised us by dumping buckets of rain during the ceremony. Thomas was so helpful with all of his direction and suggestions for the ceremony. He was able to keep his cool and roll with the punches on our very crazy day. Our Photos are absolutely stunning! I honestly can't say enough good things about him. He took so many photos and his editing is wonderful. He also did our engagement photos all the way in Yosemite. He not only drove 3 hours one way for the engagement shoot but also drove an obscene amount of hours for our wedding. He put in so much work and I can't thank him enough.

Cassie was referred to us and we quickly found out why. As out-of-towners, it was important to us to find a photographer that was familiar with our venue (San Francisco City Hall) and the city in general. We were able to quickly check off that box after seeing the many beautiful photos that she had taken of other couples in San Francisco. Her work really speaks for itself. In addition, Cassie was just a delight to work with. Her calm demeanor and measured approach just instilled a lot of confidence for us and we felt very comfortable from the get-go that she was someone we could trust and rely on. On the day of our wedding, she was punctual, friendly, and struck a great balance between being accommodating while taking charge when needed. We had such a fantastic experience working with Cassie and would definitely recommend anyone to check her out. Thanks so much Cassie.

Since receiving our wedding photos from Jess, several of my friends and family members (including 2 professional photographers!) have asked me for her contact info because of how amazing her photos are!! When we started looking for a wedding photographer, we knew that we needed to find someone with a great eye for candids, who wouldn't make our pictures feel too staged, who had a fun/funky vibe like us, and who could handle wrangling my extremely large family (full of very opinionated people) for family photos, and Jess handled everything with ease! I feel so lucky that we found Jess, and I cannot recommend her more. Jess made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding day, and even gave guidance to family members who are normally awkward in photos (e.g. suggesting ways to pose to make them more comfortable). Jess went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, checking in with us, getting to know us, and even coming to a venue walkthrough so she could get a sense of the space! I am so grateful for all of the work Jess put into our wedding, and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I rarely even like photos of myself, but I honestly am so in love with the ones that Jess took that I jump on every opportunity to whip out my phone and share them with friends!

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

Mirage & Light Photography made our wedding photo dreams come true! Let's be honest, sometimes taking photos can feel awkward and that is the complete opposite of how we felt with Amanda. We felt like she was our instant friend who was hanging out with us on our wedding day. Our small and intimate wedding was held during the crazy times of 2020. Throughout the many texts and phone calls deciding if our wedding could or would even happen, Amanda was there for us. She always checked in and offered support. Amanda captured every detail of our perfect day. We have candid photos to the perfect little detail photos to the most beautiful portraits that we have already framed in our home. Amanda also had a few polaroids at the end of the night to give to us as a sneak peak. We received all our photos within a short few weeks of our wedding day. The photos are dreamy and just flat out gorgeous. The lighting in each photo is perfection. Amanda has a true gift for making photos look 100!

From when we first contacted her (almost 2 years ago) to after our wedding, she has been so sweet, so professional and overall wonderful! Her work is amazing (we are still in awe of our wedding photos, I look at them every day and I smile each time). My husband and I are awkward picture takers, and I usually never like how we look in pictures but that’s not the case here, she made us feel at ease and taught us how to pose. Everyone in our wedding party loved working with Amber and her husband, and they work so efficiently! I can’t believe how many great photos they took and how quickly they got them to us! Finally, I did want to say that we are so grateful on how flexible she was with all the changes and postponements we had due to COVID, she was always so understanding and worked with us to make it work. We now know who to reach out to for our next photo session or recommend to our family and friends.
