Seeing others in their pics was one thing, but him capturing my big day and seeing them, I can’t thank them enough. 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.

Loved all the images! We wanted mainly candid photos and only gave poor AM like 15 minutes of posed photos and they nailed it. We we able to spend the maximum amount of time with our guests, which is exactly what we wanted. We were able to fully be present in the moment and enjoy our wedding and still got stellar shots of the 2 of us! Very grateful.

Hi I'm Carmelisse. I'm an intimate wedding & elopement photographer based in Los Angeles. I have a gift for making people comfortable and seeing the beauty in all diverse people. I want nothing more than to tell your love story right.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to start! Carmelisse was UNREAL. She was so so sooooooo wonderful to work with. My now-husband was dreading wedding photos and after the wedding he even said, ‘the photo part was actually fun’-direct quote. Carmelisse and Jon (our second shooter) made us feel so comfortable and natural and we had a blast the entire time. There were tons of changes with timing and location due to the weather, and Carmelisse was 10000% on top of it! She took charge, handled EVERYTHING, knew when sunset was, where/when to go for the best lighting, posing etc… she was just amazing. I really didn’t know what to expect—it was a destination wedding and Carmelisse took care of so many small details so I could just focus on enjoying myself. She is incredible at what she does and I’m so happy that she was the one to document our wedding! We love love LOVE the photos and her! She went above and beyond with everything and we definitely recommend working with Carmelisse!!!! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there. Holly's expertise and talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered - we were blown away by how beautifully she documented our day. We loved working with Holly so much that we've continued to use her for our yearly family photos ever since, and wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

Gabbie Burseth Photo 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Encino, CA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Gabbie for our wedding in November of 2021. She was so professional and so kind. Throughout the process, she took the time to get to know my husband and I. On our wedding day she felt like a friend and was a welcome guest. As someone who is not comfortable in front of the camera, Gabbie always made the process feel effortless. I could not recommend Gabbie more. The photos turned out amazing and I am so excited to show them off forever.

  • Photojournalistic style

Jess is a wedding photographer serving couples from Los Angeles to New York City. She specializes in documenting moments with honesty and optimism to showcase her couples’ love for each other, love for their people and their love for a damn good time. “My work is bold, enduring, and honest.” With more than a decade of experience as a photographer and a background in fine art and film photography, Jess approaches each wedding with intention and a sense of novelty. She works in both digital and film mediums and her work has been featured in publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, Destination I Do and Brides.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Hi! I'm Magaly and I am a wedding photographer based in Southern California. I love candid intimate moments. My approach is photojournalistic. I love capturing candid moments that tell the story of your special day. The laughter between friends, the tears in a mother's eyes, the stolen glances between the my couples - these are the moments that you'll want to remember forever. I am so happy you're here and can't wait to meet you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Magaly's work caught my eye because of its vibrant and colorful nature and her final product truly delivered on this! I was also drawn to the personality of her website and she just looked like a fun person to spend time with. What impressed me the most was the amount of effort she put into researching the location we wanted. I told her I wanted murals at ROW DTLA and she came back with a map of all the murals there (without having ever been there herself)! I was super thrilled with the amount of prep and planning that she did, and it made the whole session go so smoothly. Magaly was so lovely and easy to work with - it felt like hanging out with a friend and we had such a blast. She came prepared with a portable changing tent for us and we even got some bonus polaroids! We love our photos and can't wait to work with her again!

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 and her team were amazing to work with. They were extremely professional and edited our photos perfectly. Shelby found great locations at our venue for pictures, and was she took any and all suggestions I had regarding how to pose, who to pose with, and the style of photos. She made our wedding day that much better, and I recommend her for any event/photoshoots that you may need her services :)

My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

Sarahi was so sweet and open in our consultation. We knew from the start that she was the photographer we needed. It was the first consultation with a photographer in which we did not feel pushed to book or left with any questions. She told us what to expect and and gave us advice if we decided not to book her! During the wedding she was so Kind and was able to keep my crazy family on check and participate in photos! We loved her and loved the photos!

Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare.

Hello! My name is Brenda and I've resided in SoCal all of my life. Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
I love photos and photography was one of my must have, high quality items for our wedding. Our original photographer had to back out (with plenty of time and notice) so we found ourselves back at the drawing board several months before the wedding. I found Brenda and loved that her images showed a diverse clientele - as a plus size bride with a SO over 6’ tall, that was something that really mattered to me. By the end of our Zoom meeting I wanted to hug her! I felt confident she was the right fit. When the big day came around, not only was her presence instantly calming (things had already been going wrong that morning) but she was incredibly helpful every step of the way, including trying to find a dropped earring, closing my necklace because everyone’s nails were too long, making sure I had space to take a break when my nerves overwhelmed me. We just got some of our sneak peeks in and wow…I’m crying all over again. She captured moments between my SO and I so beautifully, you can feel the love we have for each other. It sounds cliche, but it’s true! Not only were we pleased with Brenda, our guests and wedding party all had such kind things to say about her - how many weddings have you gone to and complimented the photographer, as a guest?! If her style is one that you like, don’t hesitate to hire Brenda. I can’t wait to take more photos with her as we grow old. She was an important part of our day and, for me, the best person to have by my side throughout the chaotic day. I was so happy to have her as part of our adventurers club.

Kenzie Kate Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Encino, CA

I'm admittedly wary when it comes to the Wedding Industry and all of it's bells/whistles/expectations, and at the same time, I believe wholeheartedly in the power of community, love, commitment, and collective joy. I think that weddings-- in all of their forms and reclamations-- ultimately serve a great purpose in reminding us of these gifts. I come from a long line of meticulous documenters and hold a degree in Sociology, all of which informs the way I approach photography. I am curious about people, am in awe of the display of emotion, and am passionate about the ways in which we construct family and community.

My husband and I worked with Kenzie for our engagement session in the summer of 2021 and our wedding in the spring of 2022. As you can tell from the timeline both sessions were at the peak of the Pandemic. This season was filled with excitement but also stress as we balanced our family's health, our deepest desires for the wedding, and the weight of the global pandemic. Kenzie gave us the peace that we so desperately needed. All in all, she was our favorite wedding vendor. After our initial onboarding Zoom call, my husband and I turned to each other and screamed did we just make a new best friend?! She is not only professional but personal. She has a great artistic vision but also respected the direction we gave. Kenzie takes a photojournalistic approach to her work and because of that, we feel like these moments are enshrined in history! My favorite Kenzie touch was the pre-wedding survey she provided us that helped her understand what emotions we had going into "the most important day of our lives". She prompted us with questions about the relationship dynamics between our family and friends, and the quirky details of our love, and our answers allowed her to capture more than just a single snapshot in time. Kenzie's photos capture FEELINGS. Thank you thank you thank you and we cannot wait to work with you for our next life event!!

We're Hugo & Kat, wedding photographers & filmmakers based in Los Angeles. We're a married duo & we genuinely love that we get to pursue this passion together. Our goal is to create a space where you can be completely yourselves. To capture the real essence that makes you, you. Both individually & as a couple.

Hugo and Kat did photo and video for my wedding during the pandemic and they were nothing short of amazing! They were so easy to talk to and I didn’t feel like they were “in our faces” with the cameras. Yet, they happened to capture the most intimate of moments. I’ll forever cherish the photo they captured of me and my dad! As an event professional myself, I have to admit it’s hard to find vendors that still have that freshness and fun. Hugo even managed to convince some of my guests to come out onto the dance floor after they were sitting ducks. That showed me that he wasn’t just there to take photos/videos and call it a day, they were there to go above and beyond and make sure me and my guests had a night to remember. :)

A true artist at heart, Danielle has spent over twenty-five years behind a camera. For over a decade she has specialized in recording couples and families in some of their most joyous moments.

Big or small, with her trained eye Danielle captures every brushstroke to fully realize the memory of your special day.

You will not regret having Danielle capture your special day. She has photographed at least 2 weddings in my family - and we always trust Danielle and her photographic genius capture our most important moments.

Welcome to Emily Joy Photography// Bright, bold, and colorful. Southern California based photography capturing weddings, family, and individuals. My mission is to capture great photos of you and help you feel confident while doing so! What I love most about photography is watching how it can boost confidence. I love working with people and watching them let loose and have fun during our shoots. I am prepared to guide and equip you with confidence and plenty of prompts/poses! I relate providing a gallery of beautiful photos to making an amazing home cooked meal. I put my heart and soul into it and love watching others enjoy it!

Emily was absolutely wonderful to work with! She offered a free engagement shoot with the 8 hour wedding day package and we jumped at it. We had a meeting with her ahead of the engagement shoot which helped the day go smoothly. We felt very at ease with her which allowed us to get some really cute photos. She had a very calming and easy-going presence that made it a fun time to get our photos. Ahead of the wedding day itself, she again met with us to discuss photo options. I gave her a shot list of everything I wanted to get as well as a Pinterest board full of ideas, and she made sure to get all of them and more! I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a photographer.

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
We approached Rebecca for her photojournalistic photography, something we explicitly wanted in our wedding because we wanted those natural moments captured without looking awkward, and she astonished us by capturing so many sentimental and hilarious parts throughout our wedding. From framing to editing, the photos turned out fantastic and we love them so much! You can see raw emotion, joy, and amazement throughout them. She truly captured the feelings of the day without making us feel overly posed and orchestrated; she made it all feel natural and sometimes even seemed to disappear out of sight (although the photos prove she was there all along). She truly is an artist! We also appreciated Rebecca and Stephanie getting onto the dance floor and grooving with us while capturing hilarious moments. We highly recommend Rebecca if you want authentic, beautiful photos from someone who understands how to include cultural and personal values in your special event!

Ayyy it’s ya girl Tida (like pita)! I’m not just another photographer – I’m your hype girl, your ally, your eyes and your ears on your wedding day. I’ll be there freaking out shouting “YASSS OMG HOT FIRE ALERT” hyping you up during portraits because holy-shit you look amazing AF! I’ll be dancing circles around your guests while I shove my camera in their faces, fixing your hair when the wind gets too cray, and confidently (and loudly) directing your family portrait time. I’m a tiny ball of giant energy and gurl, it shows on your wedding day – TRUST.

From the moment we met Tida, we felt her energy was going to be a great compliment to our Wedding day. She was very easy to work with and really went above and beyond for us on several occasions. We battled crazy PNW weather and her flexibility allowed us to get fall engagement photos we were thrilled with. She crossed mountain passes during the snow storm of the year and arrived a day early to ensure she wouldn't miss a moment on our Wedding day. The result...gorgeous wedding photos we got thanks to her handy work and a foot of fresh snow!! Since then she's taken the time to do holiday mini-sessions with us that included our fabulous new fur-baby for our family Christmas cards. She stopped at nothing to get his attention! It's been great having someone we trust that feels more like a friend to help us document our journey. We look forward to her capturing many more moments to come!

Jonathan Moore Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Encino, CA

My name is Jonathan Moore. I am a Los Angeles based wedding photographer and available worldwide. I'll get right to it: The very last thing I want is for you to think of your experience with me as a "photoshoot." I think that posed "prom" photos are totally lame and reflect absolutely nothing unique about you or your partner. After all, you are not actors pretending to be "in love," so why should your images reflect that? At the core, your images should ultimately remind you of why you fell in love in the first place. This is what we're celebrating!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jonathan was the photographer for our wedding and absolutely blew us away with his work. His photos are so gorgeous and perfectly captured the best weekend of our lives. We did a two-night wedding party on the Oregon coast, and Jonathan covered both days and both nights to make sure we had the perfect documentation of our weekend. He picked out the perfect spots for shots after the ceremony, and worked hard to get us in the best light filtering through the trees as we did a little post-ceremony hike in the rainforest. Jonathan also fit right in with our friends when he wasn't busy photographing, and our guests thought he was just one of our friends they hadn't met yet who happened to be a photographer. I would rate him 10/10 on technical photography skills and professionalism, and 11/10 as a person. Our cousin Levi, who has Down's Syndrome, attended and wanted to help photograph the wedding day. Not only was Jonathan fine with having another person photographing near him, he was giving Levi tips on how to position the subjects (us: bride and groom) in the best light and how to compose the shot, at the same time as he was doing his own shooting!! Those specific photos turned out to be magnificent and I will always remember what was going on behind the camera when I see them too. That was a really memorable moment for me and really illustrates what you can expect to get from Jonathan.

  • Serves Encino, CA

We're a Scottish duo living our best lives in Los Angeles! We appreciate unpopular TV shows, all the vegan food, and a good old road trip. But our most favorite thing is our two fur-kids (bunnies!). We are not typical wedding photographers, that is for certain. We go against the usual grain, and that's exactly how we like it to roll. Normal is boring. Well, for us, at least. Not just for the 'wild at heart' and 'free-spirited'. For e v e r y o n e. And we mean it. We don't discriminate. Ever.

We're actually rating The Hendrys one trillion stars out of five because they are "out of this world" amazing photographers and you should stop reading this review and book them ASAP! If you're still reading though, let us break down our perfect experience with them: They were recommended to us by our venue (Valentine DTLA) and we fell in LOVE with them as soon as we saw their website! Their portfolio and "about me" won us over because we were looking for wedding photographers who could capture the in-between moments, do some fun stylized shots, and be just as fun and goofy as we are! We reached out over the website and heard back from them immediately over email. Their super funny, yet professional personality came through and that got us so excited to work with them! They were also open to us asking as many questions as we wanted (especially when it came to the contract), which made us feel even more comfortable! We then got to meet them over ZOOM where we broke down how the day would go, they asked us what kind of pictures we were looking for, and we just got to know each other. We honestly may have become best friends with them as we couldn't stop talking to them about everything and anything for 2 hours. After that, we knew we were gonna be in the best hands, but we could never have ever imagined how perfect they really would be! When it finally came to the wedding day, The Hendrys went above and beyond! They were extremely professional as they kept us on schedule while experimenting with different types of photos (using a Fish Eye Lens, prisms, neon lights, etc.). They knew how to make everything feel super relaxed and fun and just let us do whatever was natural to us no matter what kind of photo it was. While we were losing it over the fact we just got married, The Hendrys just let us take everything in while politely directing us for photos. When we weren't doing staged photos, they were out of sight, but taking stunning photographs of everything that was happening in between. They were like ninjas as they would disappear and then reappear and grab us for the next shoot! It really was so cool! A few weeks after the wedding, we received our photos in record time and they were the COOLEST PHOTOS EVER (which you can see attached to this review)! We cannot thank The Hendrys enough for their hilarious stories, non-stop professionalism, unwavering kindness & selflessness, and being true magicians with their cameras and artistic vision. We couldn't be more grateful for everything that they did and we feel like the luckiest married couple in the world thanks to them! Now quit reading this review and go be the next luckiest married couple in the world and book The Hendrys! They're worth every single penny! - The D'Elia's

Hi! I'm Hannah, your So Cal (but traveling) elopement and intimate wedding photographer! I'm so glad you're here. My photography style is a documentary/natural photographer. This means I'm more about documenting your moments and helping you create genuine smiles/moments in photos, opposed to just posing you, i want you to dance and have fun, snuggle into your partner and get those intimate moments. (I'll of course help you figure out what to do with your hands, because lets me honest, even I don't know what to do with my hands in photos. Haha) I love traveling, I love adventure, and I love making friends out of my clients.

Hannah is definitely one of my preferred vendors. Her photos are beautiful and overall she was the most pleasant, fun and easy to work with photographer I have had! Couldn't refer her enough!

Fitz Carlile Photography

  • Serves Encino, CA

The kind of work I do within the wedding photography genre is very distinct - every image stands on its own as a thoughtful composition as if from a cinematic art house film or high-end commercial/editorial shoot. My color grading is immediately identifiable and unique - developed through years of studying color theory - uncommon today in a sea of 'presets' that other photographers purchase on the internet for they have no knowledge of how to build their own. My compositions are often quirky, surprising, different. I always attempt to show a point of view that's uncommon and fascinating to the viewer.

Fitz Carlile is a master of light, and can make virtually any setting look like the most romantic place in the world. He immediately puts you at ease. We had to scrap our original wedding plans due to COVID-19, but Fitz remained a willing and enthusiastic participant through it all. Our recommendation to couples trying to plan weddings in this crazy time we've all found ourselves in? Go small. Don't cancel. And your photographer should be your number 1 priority. Photographs are the only concrete thing you'll own to remember your special day, and you will not be disappointed with Fitz. He's a true storyteller and his photos are magic.

We are Sienna plus Josh, adventure elopement photographers [who also eloped!] in 2011 and we have been shooting weddings and adventuring ever since. We are here to help you navigate the path of forging your OWN path. Going the adventure elopement route is intimate, authentic, and empowering...with a day that is truly reflective of your relationship and defines the two of you! One of the best things about eloping is that you get to throw away the rule book and write your own. Whether that is spending your wedding day on a mountaintop in Oregon, among the waterfalls in Iceland, or the warm desert of California.

Sienna and Josh were so helpful with our elopement. They went above and beyond to make the event as fun and easy going as possible. Their suggestions for locations and floral arrangements were perfect! They really helped our elopement plans take shape and made us feel comfortable so we could each our special day to the fullest! They took the time to get to know us and take unique photos that captured the day perfectly. We were very happy with the final result and impressed with the amount of dedication and kindness that they showed to us.

Jonathan has clearly been doing wedding photography for years. He is punctual, organized, and extremely professional. As a solo photographer, Jonathan was still able to get every shot I wanted of the ceremony and reception. He also pays great attention to detail, making sure everyone in the shot is positioned just right. He even had a small pair of scissors in his pocket to help with any flower, thread, etc. mishaps! With so many options out there, we were so happy that we decided to work with Millay and Young Photography.

I believe the best photos occur when... artistry and intentionality meet moments of heartfelt connection. I'll guide you towards the dreamiest light and offer unobtrusive direction that lends to natural movements and sincere emotion. I also slow things down and help re-center everyone, creating space for beautiful moments to unfold, like mom fluffing your veil, dad's expression when he sees you all dressed up, and fleeting looks between you and your partner.

I cannot recommend Elyana enough! I wanted dreamy photos that were candid-esque so I got really excited when I came across her website. I honestly had no idea what to expect when working with a professional photographer but her service was exceptional. She's super friendly, easy-going, efficient, and communicative. Everything went unbelievably smoothly. We had Elyana for 2 hours during our elopement and she made it so fun and easy to be in front of a camera. She provided a lot of much-needed direction and our session went by so quickly and smoothly. She even helped grab my veil when I forgot it in my suite! I'm not photogenic so I was nervous about looking like a total derp after many wonderful vendors had put so much work into my hair, makeup, dress, and florals... But her artistic sense and prompting really made for some amazing pictures. She works fast! Sneak peeks and full gallery were received well before their promise dates. Granted, it probably helped that we only had a 2 hour elopement session, but the speedy turnaround time is super appreciated nonetheless. The one struggle I have from working with her is trying to pick which beautiful images will be displayed in our home. Thank you so much for these photos that we will cherish forever!
