From the moment we first spoke with Ari from Theel Productions, we knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding. Ari has a warm, friendly, and cheerful communication style that instantly put us at ease. She is an expert at what she does, and her talent was evident in the way she authentically captured every special moment during our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. We truly felt so special to work with Ari - she is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, timely, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

Shutter & Sound

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Costa Mesa, CA

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

Salut lovebirds! I'm Hannah, and I shoot avant-garde wedding photography for creative & bold lovers all over the U.S. and beyond.

Working with Hannah for my wedding photos was the best decision I made! She is so incredibly talented, creative and just a wonderful person. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera but Hannah made us so comfortable and coached us through the portraits you wouldn’t be able to tell. And let me tell you they came out the most beautifully aesthetic photos ever. These are not cookie cutter photos, her candid photos of the night captured the vibe and personality of the wedding and all of the guests and told a story of the night so perfectly. I actually cry every time I think of my great great grandchildren looking at these pictures one day and think ‘wow they were so cool and beautiful’. I cannot recommend Hannah enough!!!

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

Awarded Best of Zola
We met with a handful of photographers before we settled on Steve. Beyond his ability to capture candid moments of joy, laughter, and celebration, Steve's honesty and transparency made us feel at home with our decision to move forward with his services. He incorporated an engagement shoot into our photography package, and spending that additional time with him prior to our big day helped us feel so much more comfortable with the entire process. After our engagement shoot, Steve was kind enough to grab lunch (dim sum) with us in LA's Chinatown, going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in his presence. Steve is the most laid-back, amicable photographer you could ask for, and it was a privilege to have him capture our wedding. He is a kind soul and fits in splendidly with any crowd. We look forward to using his services for many more milestones in the future.

Costa Mesa, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500

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.

Nick is such a fabulous photographer -- he captured every big and little moment of our special day. He put us at ease and made us feel comfortable on a nerve-wreaking and exciting day. The photos are some of my favorite of my entire life. He's amazing!

Hello. I'm Steven. Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming a professional in 2017, I have serviced over 80 weddings at diverse locations in my career. Throughout 3 years of my profession, I have chosen the path of fine art photography, which embraces natural colors, rich content, and especially real-time emotions. Contrary to traditional documentary photographers, my goal is to capture every special moment of your wedding day by praising the beauty through lighting and composition.

Awarded Best of Zola
WOW!! Steven Nguyen Photography was one of the BEST INVESTMENT for out wedding. We're so glad we chose Steven and his team, they delivered everything on time and it was not hard to immediately say "YES" after our consultation call. Steven is simply an honest & nice guy, which was what stood out most during our zoom call. Besides his work, my husband and I felt we connected well with him and the trust was evident, since day one. Steven was always responsive and courteous in all of our communication. I reserved my date with Steven about a year in advance to ensure that he locks in that date with us before someone else does (reserving a GOOD wedding photographer in Southern California can be competitive). I love how all of our interaction/communication were more than just a transaction. My husband and I love working with Steven and we felt like we could totally hangout with him and his wife (Connie). We didn't meet Connie until our wedding day and let me tell y'all...she is a whole different vibe (in a good way). I'm so glad she accompanied Steven, she was fun to be around, so down to earth, and awesome to be around. She brings this burst of energy and fun to the wedding team. Steven's artistic work made it look like it was a million dollar wedding (I don't know how, but he did it). We literally couldn't stop smiling and giggling at all the candid moments, he captured it all. With a wedding part size of 250....it's hard to keep track of who showed up that day, but he got everyone. To simply summarize, we are IN LOVE with our photos. Steven's work evokes a sense of elegance, filled with candid emotions that tell a story between two people in the most honest and organic way. Reserve your special day with Steven to ensure that your gallery will be delivered beyond your expectations.

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

We wish to express our profound appreciation for the remarkable team at Shevchik Production. From the instant we engaged their services for our nuptials, they surpassed our anticipations in every conceivable way. Their proficiency, decorum, and extraordinary talent infused our day with a unique touch of specialness. The experience of collaborating with the Shevchik Production crew was nothing short of delightful. They were not just exceptionally gifted photographers but also warm-hearted and considerate persons who ensured we felt relaxed and content throughout the entire endeavor. Their congenial and accessible attitude paved the way for an immediate rapport. During our wedding, Alex, Kate, Oleg, and Anton demonstrated remarkable teamwork, freezing every cherished instant with meticulousness and artistic flair. Their capacity to encapsulate the core of our love and the heartfelt emotions of the day was genuinely impressive. Our amazement knew no bounds when Shevchik Production unveiled a preliminary glimpse of our wedding photos within a day. This unexpected gift enabled us to revisit the enchantment of our extraordinary day almost immediately. The photos' caliber and artistry were awe-inspiring, embodying not just the minutiae but also the affection and jubilation that permeated the event. The whole Shevchik Production team's devotion to their artistry was manifest in each image they captured. Their keen eye for detail, originality, and knack for seizing genuine moments culminated in an array of photos that outshone our most extravagant dreams. They narrated the tale of our wedding day in the most sublime manner, and for their artistic prowess and commitment, we will always remain indebted.

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.

Cassy has photographed our engagement, wedding, graduation and maternity photos. This review is long overdue. She’s so communicative and professional. She’ll make you feel comfortable right away and knows her stuff. She takes beautiful photos. You won’t regret going with her for your photos for any occasion. She’s awesome and just a super nice person and wonderful photographer. For our wedding, she went above and beyond and got so many great photos. Do it, go book her now.

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

We are so pleased they were able to capture all those important moments from the ceremony as they happened and help us remember that part of the day.

After having our successful engagement photo shoot with Marisa and Tim, we were very confident that they would be able to capture our special day for us. There are so many great shots of our joyful day. I can clearly see right after the ceremony that I was so excited to hear the beginning of the celebratory Star Wars music that I gestured with my bouquet towards them, but I forgot about that until I saw the picture they caught of that moment - well done and thank you! We so appreciate their passion and enthusiasm for what they do - it really comes through the lens, and it made us feel relaxed, but excited too for our special day.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I spent a long time researching wedding photographers when I started wedding planning because I knew great photos would be very important to me. Glass Woods photos really stood out to me, and they were the first wedding vendor I booked. I am SO glad I did. Covid hit and we ended up postponing our wedding several times. Jake and Tasha were extremely flexible and accommodating throughout the process, and ended up traveling an hour to shoot my backyard wedding, which was not what they had originally agreed to. Unlike other vendors I dealt with, they never gave me a hard time or caused me any stress. On the day of the wedding, Jake was AMAZING. He was so chill and fun, and made us feel extremely comfortable on camera. He shot the wedding by himself, but didn’t miss any important moment. We just got our photos back and couldn’t be happier. They are all stunning. He did an amazing job of capturing all of the emotions in perfectly framed shots. I believe Tasha does the editing and it was also phenomenal. The colors are spectacular. I’ve already printed and framed some and they bring me so much joy to look at. So very grateful to Jake and Tasha and will definitely use them for photos in the future.

Hi there! I'm Zack, a wedding photographer from Orange County, Ca. Ever since I was a young kid studying (and sketching!) bugs in the backyard, I've had a fierce love for the details in the little moments of this crazy life. I got my first "real" camera when I was 12 and was instantly hooked. As I grew, so did my passion and ability to translate those moments into memories. I had the chance to help photograph a wedding when I was 17 and wow! What an experience! That night, I looked through the photos and fell in love. I knew that capturing the moments that would mean something to someone for the rest of their life was where I belonged.

Awarded Best of Zola
Zack was AMAZING to work with! He has over 10 years of experience and it shows with the variety he offered in our gallery. Everything looked natural and he captured my surprise moment extremely well without tipping off my fiancé. I love how responsive he is, the ease of the being able to look at the gallery and sending it to friends/family. He led the photo shoot and nothing felt awkward. We had many different poses, camera effects, lighting and backgrounds all in one location. His creativity is incredible and when you find someone who loves what they do, you see it in the stunning results. Biggest moment in my life so far and it’s easy to relive through his photos. Thanks Zack!!

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

Erin is a 12/10 and worth every penny. She was so kind, attentive, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She made it a point to get to know my husband and I as a couple, and was always a text away to answer any questions I had. Her work is absolutely STUNNING, and exactly what we were looking for: colorful, natural, editorial, and candid. She is the best of the best I wish I could get married again just to have more photos!

Your wedding album transcends time as a cherished heirloom, destined to be passed down through generations. Each detail of your special day merits an exquisite capture, narrating your unique love story with grace and authenticity. Our approach ensures that your wedding remains a celebration of love and not merely a production set for photography, preserving the essence of your day in a luxurious and timeless manner.

As someone who recently hired this wedding photographer for my special day, I cannot recommend them enough. From the moment we first met, they were incredibly communicative and professional. They took the time to get to know my partner and I, our love story, and what we envisioned for our wedding day. This level of personalized attention made us feel valued and reassured that our memories would be captured beautifully. On the actual wedding day, this photographer was an absolute joy to work with. They were fun, energetic, and made us feel at ease in front of the camera. Their talent was evident in every shot they took - from the intimate moments between me and my partner to the candid shots of our friends and family enjoying themselves. But what truly sets this wedding photographer apart is their ability to capture not just moments, but emotions. Looking through our wedding album brings back all of the feelings from that day - the excitement, love, happiness, and even a few tears. It's like reliving the entire experience all over again. I highly recommend this exceptional wedding photographer to any engaged couple looking for more than just someone to take photos on their big day. They are a true professional who goes above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing experience. Trust me, your wedding memories will be in great hands with this talented individual behind the camera lens.

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

Words truly cannot capture how much we love Madeleine. From our very first interaction, it was clear we had found someone special to document our day. Madeleine's talent and passion shone through every moment we spent with her, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She expertly corralled our enormous family, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time, all while keeping us on schedule. In the midst of the whirlwind, she made us feel so beautiful and comfortable, even as we were being pulled in various directions. Her ability to blend professionalism with a warm, friendly demeanor kept us laughing throughout the day, easing any feelings of being overwhelmed. The photos she captured are pure magic. Each image tells a story, beautifully preserving the joy and love of our wedding day. Madeleine’s photos exude the exact emotions we felt throughout our day and I know we will cherish them forever. One of the hardest parts of the wedding being over is the realization that we won’t get to see Madeleine again. It feels like we gained a true friend throughout this process, and we now know exactly who to call to capture all of life's big events in the future. Thank you, Madeleine, for your incredible work and for making our day unforgettable! We love you so much!

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

I LOVE our engagement photos so much ! Nadia did our engagement photos in Central Park, NYC. I was so nervous because it was raining but her attitude was so positive and calmed me down instantly :) during the shoot , she was patient and helped us feel more comfortable. She helped direct some poses because we are awkward (LOL) and caught some really nice candid shots . Bottom line is that I couldn’t have asked for better photographer !! I receive so many compliments on the engagement photos , some look like they’re straight from a magazine :) thank you , nadia !! You’re the best ! :) here them, you won’t regret it !

I am a photographer born in Japan, raised in Hawaii, based in Orange County, CA. I love to take event photography, especially weddings, because there is already so much joy and emotion happening and I want to capture that moment and feeling so you can always go back to it just by seeing the photography.

Miku was amazing to work with and we absolutely loved our wedding photos! My wife is a professional photographer so her standards are high. She found Miku on Zola and Miku's quality of work convinced us to reach out. Every step from beginning to end was highly professional. We had a consultation and talked about what kind of photos we would do for our wedding ceremony and we couldn't be happier with the final result. The photographs are one of the most important parts of a wedding, and now we have those memories captured for a lifetime! Thanks, Miku!

Hi! I'm Ria, but my friends call me Ri. I'm a Southern California based photographer traveling worldwide for weddings, elopements & love. There's nothing that makes me happier than making other people feel fucking GREAT about themselves. I care about eternalizing your story, no matter your race, gender, sexuality or body type — i’m here for you.

If I could give this girl more stars I would. Her work is incredible and I had high expectations for my wedding (because she killed it for my engagement photo shoot) - and man did she blow it out of the water. I felt like I was reliving my dream day when I looked through my gallery - and cried so many times I had to call my mom. Her photos are best in class, and she's the most fun, down to earth person to work with. She made me feel so comfortable the entire day - even though it was 100 degrees outside. I can't recommend her enough, she's a rockstar photographer.
