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.

William J Saylor Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Mecca, CA

Please request a full gallery to truly see the depth of my photography. Unfortunately portraits are extremely compressed on this platform. I do love capturing people in all their forms. In Love, happiness, and excitement and so many other moments in life. Each session is a literal reminder of this amazing life that we live. From the moment you sign on with me we get to work. If you have a coordinator I will immediately reach out & work with them to make sure we work as a team. I also have a list of vendors and venues if you need any suggestions. The ultimate goal is to provide you the best media possible for your day

Awarded Best of Zola
Hello, My fiancé and I hired William to be the photographer for not only our engagement shoot but our wedding day as-well. My fiancé is extremely shy, so one of my fears when looking for a photographer was that he wouldn’t feel comfortable and our photos would reflect his discomfort. Thankfully, William is extremely kind and made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable. His work is not only breath tanking but he also makes you feel truly special every step of the way. William is very understanding and wants to ensure that you get the best most memorable shots. He truly makes you feel like your day is his top priority through the entirety of his working relationship with you. If you are looking for beautiful photos and a caring photographer i 100% recommended William and his team for your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brianna was a real pleasure to work with for both our engagement and wedding photos. I don't particularly like having my picture taken, so the photography bit of the wedding festivities was what I was most nervous about. Brianna has a gentle spirit and was great at making suggestions, asking about preferences, and doing it all in a manner that put me at ease. She was also really great at communicating with us about when our pictures would be ready and options for albums. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to work with!

Hi! I'm an elopement & intimate wedding photographer. I document sacred union through intimate portraits inspired by the natural beauty of Hawaii and California.

Raizah is very comforting and extremely dedicated to capturing beautiful photos.

Not only did Raizah capture photos that exceeded our expectations but we had a lot of fun while doing so. She really is one of the best, especially around the palm springs area and knows the best locations to have your photo taken. I really appreciate her commitment to her work and also editing our photos quickly. We highly recommend Rise In Love and are looking forward to working with Raizah in the future.

I have a love for travel and I'm obsessed with my dog and two cats. I enjoy lots of raw, sassy humor and a little bit of sarcasm. Tequila is my go-to... all the margaritas please! The desert is where you’ll find me on any given day. There’s something so magical about that place, am I right? I love learning the little weird things about my couples and bringing out the corkiness. We all have it! If you like what you’re reading, maybe I'm the one!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Nick enough! He did both our engagement and wedding photos. He is incredibly talented at what he does! He listens and is super patient. (At the time, we had a wiggly 4 year old daughter that he understood had a limited attention span!) We didn't want a ton of still shots of us...and he still managed to get the most important ones on our wedding day. He knew we wanted to capture the fun/touching moments of our day and he did just that. Additionally, our engagement photos were so beautiful too! We plan to use Nick throughout the years as our family grows...thank you so much for locking our most precious day in time!

Hi there! I'm Jess, a 24 year old photographer with an eye for capturing your candid love story! I've always had a love for art and from the moment I picked up my first camera in 2019 everything has just fallen into place.

Besides my love for capturing your love story I have over 5 years of wedding industry experience. From part-time bridal shop work, catering and now photography.

My team is passionate about celebrating the joyful moments in life through modern photojournalistic photography and videography. Our boutique studios is based locally in Palm Springs and we specialize in capturing the true desert experience! From palm trees to pool parties we capture it all and want our couples to enjoy every minute of their time in Palm Springs.

Brianna and her team are wonderful. Not only are they fun to hang out with, but they are wildly talented. My husband and I have never done professional photos and were a bit nervous about it all. Brianna put us at ease, listened to our vision, and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. Not only that, but we got a sneak peak less than 48 hours after our wedding. HIGHLY recommend!

Hey, I'm Alex! A sappy, soulful, empathic human who believes #loveislove, all relationships are uniquely special, and both sides are your good sides with a little confidence and a built-in cheerleader (aka me). Being part of a couples' wedding day is the ultimate honor. My goal is to capture your love at its most natural, your wedding details like they're straight out of a magazine, and your candid family like a National Geographic photog would. Coming from a big family with lots of personality (hellooo I'm the oldest of 8), I "get" what you're feeling as you plan this wedding and I'm here ensure you LIVE FULLY on your wedding day.

Talented. Professional. Fun. We feel like we struck gold with Alex as our wedding photographer! We wanted a photographer that could do it all: capture real emotion, help create some editorial moments, and deliver fantastic family portraits - and we got that and more with Alex. We are so happy with the results! We’re also so glad we did an engagement shoot prior to our wedding. It allowed us to get comfortable being in front of the camera and when it came time for our wedding day, it felt like Alex was just one more friend in the room who just happened to be capturing every special moment.

Hey there, I’m Kelsey! I’m a Southern California-based wedding and elopement photographer with a love for capturing charm locally and around the world. I'm inspired by those intimate, fleeting moments—like your hands intertwined or that infectious, spontaneous laugh—that tell your unique story. My goal is to turn these memories into artful, timeless photographs. Whether you’re celebrating love, family, or life’s special moments, I’m here to document your genuine connection and joy. Let’s create stunning images that become cherished treasures for years to come!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our big day! Everything was of course super stressful for our wedding, but Kelsey made this part of our planning seamless and stress-free. We told her what style we were going for and she totally nailed it. She made sure to pay attention to the details we wanted captured (and a couple insecurities we mentioned) She was super easy to work with, laid out a detailed plan for the day, and went with the flow when plans changed. Our photos turned out beyond perfect and we literally want to put them everywhere in our house. Highly recommend Kelsey!
