From the initial consultation to the final delivery (within 30 days of the date!) of the photos, every step of the process was handled smooth, organized and her creativity is amazing! On the day of the wedding, Alli went above and beyond to capture every special moment. She was well-prepared, but also incredibly personable, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. Her ability to blend into the background while still capturing candid, intimate moments was truly impressive. We love her style each and every photo.

No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged.

My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

We love to travel so much that we keep our prices affordable- giving us the opportunity to cover all over the USA (no travel fees). Our most popular package is our Red Carpet which gives our clients up to 10 hours of photo and video coverage, 505+ edits, and 2 wedding videos (with the whole ceremony). Check out our FB or Youtube for HUNDREDS of weddings we shot in the past.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding at Wave Hill, Bronx, was a total dream, and a massive shoutout goes to Daria for capturing all the magic of our day. Daria's style is like a blend of real-life moments and fashion flair, and our wedding photos could've easily graced any bridal magazine. She or her assistant - Connor, were like flies on the wall! I was impressed that they were always nearby, but blending perfectly with the guests! She was always super professional, always on time, and kept us calm amidst all the wedding chaos. (And we had a very chaotic day, from missing a cake for a cake cut to me (bride) breaking a heel on my shoes) She's got this incredible eye for capturing raw emotions and tiny details that would've otherwise gone unnoticed. Looking at our photos, it's like we're reliving the entire day. During the portrait sessions, Daria worked her magic, giving us tips that made us look and feel like Hollywood stars. We seriously felt like celebrities, and our friends and family can't stop gushing about how amazing we looked. In a nutshell, if you want wedding photos that are fancy yet down-to-earth, Daria from Fall Marigold Photography is the one. She turned our wedding memories into pure magic.

The most consistent feedback I get from my couples is that I put them at ease. Almost everyone is uncomfortable in front of the camera, but that’s why I’m there — to help you look and feel great creating memories. Your wedding photographer is in your personal space on one of the most emotional days of your life - make sure the person in your corner is someone who adds to the joy on your day. With me, you get someone who can go with the flow, has your back, and seamlessly adapts to the energy in the room.

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alana Lindenfeld is literally the most incredible photographer and you should hire her right this second. My fiancé (then boyfriend) hired her to capture our engagement, and she absolutely hit it out of the park, exceeding any and all expectations. Truly. First of all, she was the absolute best person to have there during our special moment -- she managed to blend into the background so I barely noticed her during the proposal itself, while capturing literally the most amazing photos ever, and then when we transitioned into taking photos post-proposal, she was the most kind, enthusiastic, helpful, and wonderful. Her energy was infectious. (She even let me borrow her jacket to warm up because it was a chilly day, and she taught us how to spray champagne -- totally above and beyond!) Second, the photos themselves are AMAZING. I cannot believe how incredibly she captured the moment! I was in shock over how many different moments she managed to photograph (from the proposal itself to our family's reactions) and how beautiful every single photo was, without exception. They were ridiculously, insanely wonderful, and we will absolutely forever cherish them forever. To say I was glad that my fiancé found Alana would be a huge understatement. In sum, HIRE ALANA! You won't regret it. She is truly the best!!

Eli Holmes Photo + Film 

2.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Cayucos, CA

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

Amber’s ability to capture the honest, meaningful and organic emotions of the day makes her one of the most sought after wedding photographers. She has spent years crafting a unique one of a kind experience for her clients with a combination of digital and film images. Her signature photography style is best described as chic, timeless and natural. She believes a wedding day should be documented through the eyes and heart of her clients, capturing the fleeting moments that they never want to forget.

Amber made me feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Taking pictures with her felt so natural, just like she was there to really capture the day rather than us constantly posing, which I really appreciate. I was absolutely stunned when we got our gallery back. The care that Amber puts into composing the perfect image speaks for itself when you see the final product. There was no detail missing and i’m so glad we have these to look back on for the rest of our lives. I recommend Amber to all my newly engaged friends because the experience is unparalleled - she is the best!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nadeen's artistic eye, natural talent and knowledge of photography created the most magical wedding and engagement photos we ever could have asked for, completely exceeding our expectations! We worked with Nadeen for about 8 months in 2023 leading up to our September wedding in Big Sur, CA. She was kind enough to meet us in person 7 months before the wedding for engagement photos (even on a rainy/windy day in Big Sur!) which helped us get to know her and become more comfortable with what to expect for being photographed on the actual wedding day. Nadeen did a great job guiding us on how to look natural for our photos and made us feel super comfortable being photographed. On our wedding day, Nadeen was there every step of the way and captured our day beautifully. It was a pleasure to have her there and she did a great job of keeping us on track, making sure we captured all photos we wanted, and even took us on an extra special excursion to a separate location for sunset photos. From the wedding shots, to the priceless candids, stunning detail shots, and variety of natural light, flash, black and white photos, every single image was taken with thought and love and turned out beautifully. We had the best time working with and getting to know Nadeen. It felt like we were just hanging out with friends! Cannot recommend Nadeen enough for your wedding, engagement or any other event where you may be looking for a photographer!

I service all of Southern California, Northern California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii regularly, and will travel anywhere you want me to go to document your love!

September '23 couple here - while searching for photographers back in December '22, we really didn't know what we were looking for, that is, until we found Michelle. Her photos were the perfect marriage of whimsical, light, airy but poetic & deeply romantic at the same time. The vibe I could see on the walls of my home for years to come. She did our engagement photos in Joshua Tree, after scouting the park on her own all day one day, to make sure the location was exactly what we wanted. We trusted her vision immensely! Not only was that day a blast, the end results were seriously everything we wanted & more. Fast forward to our Wedding, September 30th, 2023. An absolute dream of a day. Michelle completely conquered that day. She was so great at directing every situation to get the perfect shots. I come from an event background, so her organizational management and eye for perfection did not go unnoticed. We are so glad we found her, & now when our family grows, I know exactly who I'm calling for family photos 3

She is also incredibly talented at connecting with people - she made my husband and I feel so comfortable shooting with her. It was very easy, fun, and stress-free to work with her. She turned back high quality photos and memories that we will keep for a lifetime. I would recommend Rylo Creative to ANYONE who wants to have their love captured in a way that is both beautiful, timeless, and creative.

Hello! I’m Laura Ford, a Midwestern native who has fully adopted sunny Southern California as home. I’ve been living and working in Los Angeles & Santa Barbara since 2013, and have happily kissed winter boots and car ice scrapers goodbye forever!  As far as aesthetic goes, my photos are bright, cheerful and thoughtfully framed. Combining the perfect setting with the right color palate and a bit of art direction for my clients is my superpower. My approach for portraits can be described as editorial, and my goal is to artfully capture the essence of you!

Laura is a brilliant photographer, which is important, but she is also a lovely human, which is just as important as her artistry. You want a wedding photographer who you can be completely comfortable around on your wedding day. Someone who knows how to put you at ease, work with your family & friends, stay on schedule, and get the great shots. Laura excels at all of this and more. Top-notch person and talent!

June of 2012. Just two months after my mom was critically injured and hospitalized. I began using my camera as an emotional outlet. I started taking portraits for family and friends, and eventually, photographed a courthouse wedding. As time went on, it hit me: These photos are freaking important! And I knew from personal experience that these moments, & the people in them, aren't going to be here forever. That camera became so much more than an outlet. It gave me purpose. And now I see my job as an act of service to you. I'm honored to use my talents and skills to deliver what really matters: TANGIBLE MEMORIES OF YOU & THE ONES YOU LOVE

Alyssa was an absolute dream to work with!!She is incredibly easy to get along with and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed on the big day. The pictures came out better than I could’ve imagined, she captured everything perfectly!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

We had the best experience working with Nick (and Mackenzie) on our big day. I cannot recommend Nick Cruz Photography enough! All of our photos are so beautiful and exceeded our (high) expectations. We could not have asked for better photos or a better photographer. Getting married during COVID meant a lot of last-minute changes in plans and Nick was so supportive and willing to work with us to make sure we captured all aspects of the day safely. And he is so personable - we had a total of 13 people at our wedding, so it was a very small group, all immediate family, but he fit right in! He was super organized and had a shot list to make sure we didn't miss any typical wedding photos. His website for photo delivery makes it so easy to view/download photos and he got us some sneak peaks super fast. Overall, we had such a great experience with Nick and plan to use him for all other big life events that require photography! (He also did our engagement - those photos were amazing too! He worked with my husband to pop out of the trees and capture the actual proposal.)

Betsy is a lifestyle, wedding, and music photographer based in Los Angeles. She discovered photography as a creative outlet while studying theater at USC. Shortly after graduation, Betsy was hired as the tour photographer for Maroon 5 and documented 34 concerts across the country. Since then, Betsy has been on the road with One Direction, One Republic, Charlie Puth, and most recently Trevor Noah. Betsy's eye for candid moments and storytelling has led to photographing weddings around the world. She lives for documenting life and love through the lens. Betsy looks forward to hearing from you and bringing your vision to life!

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (over 2 years after my engagement photos were taken) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Betsy all the love and praise she deserves. Betsy photographed our engagement photos and would have done our wedding as well if she wasn’t already booked. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Betsy previously and she was always so fun, easy to work with and matched my energy on every level! She gets so excited when she knows she is ‘getting the shot’ that you can’t help but get excited too. I had a very specific vision for our engagement photos and she was 100% on board to make it happen. I love the photos so much and will treasure them forever as they document a very exciting time in our lives. I absolutely love working with Betsy and will definitely be booking her again in the future!
