Steven Nguyen Photography, LLC

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Capistrano Beach, CA

Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming professional in 2017, my journey has taken me across the United States and around the world, where I've had the privilege of serving more than 200 couples on their special day. My approach to photography stands apart from traditional documentary styles. I focus on the natural colors and rich content of each moment, striving to highlight real-time emotions through thoughtful lighting and composition. My goal is to celebrate the unique narrative of every couple by capturing their happiness and love story with a distinct light-and-airy perspective.

Steven helped our friends to take their engagement photos, and my now husband and I were so impressed of his style, so when it was our time to look for the photographer for our big day, Steven was our first choice and the only photographer that we wanted to work with. Steven is friendly and easy to work with, and he is so good at capturing photos with natural lights and interactions between people. My husband and I was in a budget, but Steven was so understandable and willing to custom the package for us so that we could be within our budget :) On our wedding day everything got delayed, so we almost missed our wedding party photo session… But Steven did a great job and worked super fast to take photos for us and the photos were so great. All our friends and family love the photos that he took for us. We highly recommend Steven to everyone!

Cassy Velazquez Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Capistrano Beach, CA

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

I’ve worked with Cassie to capture my engagement, wedding & maternity shoots and I wouldn’t have it any other way. From her professionalism to her creativity to the beautiful photography she delivers, Cassie is such a dream to work with. She goes out of her way to scout the perfect location for the shoot & really puts my husband & I at ease (we’re super awkward when it comes to having our photos taken). I cannot recommend her enough!

She was very patient with me and understanding of my health/special needs. And during our wedding day she facilitated the day and kept us on schedule for photos. She worked great with our vendor team and made our experience a lovely one. She is so kind and professional. We absolutely love all of the photos we have received so far. We highly recommend her .

Anatoliy K Weddings

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Capistrano Beach, CA

Anatoliy is from Kazakhstan, where he studied transportation technology at Karaganda State Technical University, before getting his MFA in filmmaking from New York Film Academy. Susie is from LA, and she studied molecular & cellular biology at Harvard University (along with film and animation), before getting her MS in computer science from UChicago. While we were both in engineering, deep down, we always had a passion for storytelling. And one day, we decided that life was far too short for us not to do what we loved: creating and sharing real stories.

I don't think there are words to truly express how much Anatoliy K, Susie, and team made our wedding photo dreams come true. From a perfect engagement shoot on the beach to our big day in a spring garden - the photos say it all! Each moment and detail was so perfectly captured, and made our hearts burst looking at each picture. We are truly blown away by the high-quality, attention to detail, and gorgeous compositions that came out of such a creative team. Once I saw AnatoliyK Weddings on Zola, they stood out, and they truly delivered. It was SUCH a pleasure and joy working with Anatoliy and Susie from the beginning to end. They made our vision come to life, and we have it for a lifetime to remember! THANK YOU so much to such an amazing wedding photography team. I cannot recommend you hire them enough!!!

I first began taking photos when my son, Andrew, was born in 1998. He is now my second photographer. I started my wedding photography career in 2000, working for a wedding studio part-time. In April 2019, I started as a full-time wedding photographer to pursue my life time goal. I would love to capture your unique love story!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer who exceeds expectations in every way, look no further. From the moment we first reached out, Justin was incredibly personable, making us feel at ease and excited about the big day. Their communication throughout the process was top-notch--always prompt, clear, and thoughtful. On the wedding day, their efficiency truly shone. Not a single moment was wasted, yet they managed to capture every beautiful detail, emotion, and candid moment without ever feeling intrusive. What impressed us even more was their incredible use of an assistant photographer--working seamlessly together to cover every angle while maintaining a smooth, stress-free experience. What sets Justin apart is their flexibility. They adapted effortlessly to changes in schedule and location, constantly offering solutions and keeping things light and fun. It felt like having a true partner in the planning process, someone genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The photos are nothing short of magical--every image tells a story and perfectly captures the day's joy, love, and excitement. We couldn't be happier with the results, and we highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a photographer who combines artistry with professionalism and makes.

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

So so so highly recommended Fox & Fig Photography! Sarah was very professional and diligent throughout every step of the process. She constantly went above and beyond with all of our questions and wedding day needs. She assisted every step of the way! There is not a moment of our day that wasn’t captured. Her work is beyond stunning and we’ll continue to book with her for all of our future life milestones!

Hi, I'm Samuel Hui, a wedding photographer driven by a passion for creating unforgettable memories through my lens.

We got some really great photos from Samuel! We really love his true-to-reality editing and that he tries to capture every detail. Be sure to tell him ahead of time how you want your day to go. He leans hard toward the Instagram-y, fabricated style and it was difficult to redirect to a more candid style in the moment.
