  • Photographer

  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Occidental, CA

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

We found Kristen Campbell Photography on Zola and absolutely fell in love! We reached out to Kristen before we even found a wedding planner or chose a date. From the very first interaction, she exceeded our expectations. During our initial consultation, Kristen made us feel so at peace with the decision to hire her to capture our wedding day. She was incredibly transparent about the details and pricing, and the contract process was simple and stress-free! Every vendor we connected with was SO excited when they found out Kristen was capturing our day, and each of them shared how much they loved working with her. Throughout the planning process, Kristen checked in with us regularly, always professional and genuinely excited for our big day. By the time the wedding week arrived, we couldn’t wait to finally meet her in person. Kristen photographed our welcome party and her warm and friendly personality immediately put us at ease. My husband had never taken professional photos before, but she made him feel so confident and guided both of us with clear, easy instructions. She captured our welcome party beautifully and was so gracious and lovely throughout the evening. After that experience, we were even more excited for the wedding day. On our wedding day, Kristen absolutely blew us away. She was timely, organized, and brought so much joy and positivity to the day. Beforehand, she talked through lighting and timing with us, providing recommendations for the best photo locations and schedule. We trusted her completely and were so glad we did—her instincts were spot on! Wedding photos can take time, but Kristen made the process genuinely FUN. Couples' photos, in particular, were one of our favorite parts of the day because of how relaxed and enjoyable she made it. Family and wedding party photos were equally seamless thanks to Kristen’s thorough preparation and attention to detail—she made sure everything was perfectly organized ahead of time. Our family, friends, and wedding party couldn’t stop raving about Kristen. Her positivity and professionalism left such a lasting impression on everyone. She truly brought so much joy to our day, and we are so incredibly grateful for that. While on our honeymoon, we received our sneak peek photos, and WOW—talk about a highlight of the trip! We couldn’t stop looking through them in our hotel room. Kristen delivered so many sneak peeks, and every single one was absolutely stunning. From couples' portraits to candids, family shots, wedding party photos, and intricate details—each image took our breath away. Kristen captured every moment so beautifully, and we’re thrilled with how perfectly she documented the love and joy of our day. The lighting and style of her photography were flawless, but even more than that, we love how genuine each moment feels in her work. Kristen, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with you, and we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Your work is a priceless gift, and we cannot recommend you highly enough!

Welcome. “When you look beautiful you feel beautiful, and it’s creating that kind of happiness that is magical to me.” Enhancing natural beauty is foremost in my mind when I work. I am a makeup artist with over 15 years of experience in the areas of fashion shows, television, music videos, weddings, and special events.

Makeup by Masara was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From the very first conversation, their communication style was transparent and kind, putting me at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly above and beyond - they made me feel beautiful without the makeup feeling "caked on." The look was very natural but still noticeable, which was exactly what I was going for. Masara is phenomenal at what she does and is perfect for brides who don't wear a lot of makeup day-to-day. I was thrilled with the final result and have already referred Makeup by Masara to my 2025 bride friends!

If you would have known me growing up, you would have been surprised if I didn’t become a photographer! I fell in love with photography after spending countless hours in the darkroom. Since 2008, I have been working professionally in the photography industry and have shot over 300 weddings and numerous other assignments in almost every genre of photography. Why Weddings? I love problem solving and puzzles, and I’m always up for a good challenge. For me, a wedding is a day full of all of the things that I love. Its basically a whole day of coming up with solutions to make the best photographs for my couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I worked with Lisa for our engagement photos and our wedding, and we were blown away by her services. She is incredibly professional and prepared. She helped us decide on a location for our engagement photos and arrived early to scout it out. Before our wedding, she met with us (virtually) to go over the schedule of the day and our shot list. At the same time, she is also quick to adapt in the moment. She was able to respond to the lighting conditions during our photo shoots to take gorgeous pictures, and she caught many wonderful moments with our guests during our wedding. She is also very creative and took pictures from unique angles and perspectives. Best of all, both times Lisa delivered her photos promptly. Our married friends were astounded by how quickly we got our photos back! We love looking back on pictures from our wedding day, and they captured the day so thoroughly that we feel like we can relive it. We cannot recommend Lisa more highly.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't imagine having a better photographer for our wedding than Russ. He's such a professional, took absolutely stunning photos for us, and got the photos back to us lightning fast. If he's available for your date, book him fast before he's taken! We had previously used Russ for our engagement photoshoot at SF MOMA and loved the way the photos came out. With the pandemic making a full wedding tricky, we chose to switch to a micro-wedding, with a few onsite guests and more on Zoom, down in southern California (Malibu) and Russ agreed to drive down from the Bay Area to shoot it for us. He arrived early and covid safe in an N95 mask. He's great at putting you at ease all day. We also love that he mostly uses a photojournalistic/candid style that documents everything but doesn't get in the way of your wedding with lots of distractions and staged photos. He takes colorful and sharp photos that really capture the moment and make you look great and feel like a moviestar.

I love capturing magical outdoor weddings—whether it’s a dreamy garden, a historic home, a charming winery, or a private estate hidden in the woods (I'm basically the Indiana Jones of weddings).

We absolutely loved working with James and his team on our wedding day! They were so professional, kind, skilled, and made us feel at ease. We were not super comfortable in front of the camera so I was nervous how our photos would turn out, but they created such a relaxed environment, and our photos turned out so beautiful. Really quick editing turn around too, many photographers we scoped out would take 8-12 weeks to turn around all the photos. James and his team delivered nearly 1000 photos to us in just a few weeks. He also came to our rehearsal the night before (completely unprompted!) to scope out the venue ahead of time. Overall a phenomenal experience.

I’m a wine country native and learned the photographic arts from my family. My early travels and studies in the art & humanities opened my horizons to culture and diversity, plus I'm of mixed ethnicity. I really enjoy photographing weddings, because it has influenced me in a variety of unexpected and good ways. Each wedding has their own uniqueness, personality, and beauty. My life experience in wedding, portrait, & event photography has been a very gratifying and fulfilling journey. I’ve been pro wedding photographer for over 15yrs, and I’m insured.

I couldn’t be happier choosing Marc to photograph our wedding! From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional and attentive, making sure he understood exactly what we wanted. He photographed our engagement photos too and even rescheduled at no extra cost when the weather was too foggy for the scenery we wanted. On the big day, Marc blended seamlessly into the background while capturing every precious moment beautifully. The photos are nothing short of spectacular—each one highlights the love and magic of the day and perfectly captures the emotion and joy we felt. We’ve received countless compliments on the quality of the images and how they captured each moment of our wedding.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience using Glenn Ranch as our wedding venue this September. We were originally drawn to the rural-yet-close to town location, the awesome old barn, and Lori and Mark's laid-back approach. The location is great, you get the feeling of being away from it all while still being 10 minutes from Petaluma, which was so so helpful for out-of-town guests. Lori and Mark took care of so many of the details: tables, tablecloths, chairs, speakers, signs, couches, and they have a ton of decor items to use. Having all of those items included in the rental of the venue greatly simplified the planning process, saved us money, and made remembering all of the little details way less stressful. We really appreciated being able to use our own vendors and having Jenny as a coordinator to run planning questions by. Lori was super flexible and accomodating when it came to setting up and cleaning up after the event. Having the venue for four days gave us plenty of time to set up and clean up. Her and Mark even helped us meticulously hang 17 flower garlands from the barn door, making sure they were evenly spaced, the whole thing turned out looking amazing! Jenny took care of all the final decor touches and vendors day-of so we as the bride and groom really didn’t have to worry about a thing except our vows and enjoying ourselves! Thank you Lori, Mark, and Jenny for your had work and for helping our special day go off without a hitch!

The Team at Precise blend were amazing! They were timely, professional and were dressed up in a suit for our wedding. They include a logo of our name with a design they can add to the front of their both. It made our wedding set up look extra put together. They have an easy to use app so you can choose the music you want. You can even add more friends and family on the app so they can add music too. They go above and beyond too. James was able to remove the vocals on a song so that the live singer could use it to sing our first dance song. The most important part, they had the best music going continuously at the right times. The dance floor was full at my wedding the entire time even though the AC stopped working in the hall and it was really hot in there. After my reception, everyone wanted to keep dancing, they didn’t want to stop! The DJ James, made the reception so much fun. My friends and family still talk about how much fun they had at our wedding! I would hire them again in a heartbeat, and will use them for my events in the future!

My goal and passion is to caption the beauty of such a special occasion in a way that brings out the personality of those participating. I want their loving souls to shine through in my photos, and capture their true selves.

I had the privilege of hiring Niki for my special day, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Her dedication to capturing every detail and emotion was unparalleled, and her ability to tell our love story through her lens was remarkable. The professionalism and attention to detail displayed by her were outstanding. She made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process, ensuring that every precious moment was documented flawlessly. From the getting-ready shots to the emotional exchange of vows and the joyous celebration that followed, she managed to capture the essence of our wedding day in the most stunning and authentic way. Not only does Niki have an incredible eye for composition and lighting, she also had a talent for capturing the raw emotions of the day. Looking through our wedding album, it felt as if we were reliving each moment—the laughter, the tears of joy, and the overwhelming love shared by our family and friends. The photographs were not just images; they were tangible memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Niki was also able to blend in seamlessly with the wedding festivities. She captured countless candid shots that truly encapsulated the genuine happiness and love in the air. Additionally, she was always attentive to our requests and managed to accommodate our specific preferences without missing a beat. Furthermore, she was prompt in delivering the final product. She provided us with a wide selection of images, beautifully organized and conveniently accessible. Her commitment to meeting our timeline and ensuring our complete satisfaction was fantastic. Overall, I cannot recommend Niki enough.

We decided on Flying Cloud after visiting several places which seemed similar from online research, but once we were there in person it was head and shoulders above the rest. The venue, capacity to do indoor/outdoor and personal touch from Julia made it a no-brainer choice. We were so happy with this decision as they were easy to work with and on our wedding day everything went smoothly. It was super helpful to run by the following morning to pick up leftover items and everything was nearly stacked and waiting for us so we loaded up and were out of there in no time. From start to finish Flying Cloud was excellent.

We would give Melaina and Showrunner Events the highest recommendation possible. Having Melaina as our planner and day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! When we started our wedding planning, we were quite stressed about all the pieces that needed to be done within nine months. In working with Melaina, we hit it off immediately and that interaction made it a no-brainer to partner with Showrunner Events. Melaina is a wonderful professional, but she is also a super fun person to work with, and most importantly, she always had everything under control and gave off a chill vibe that was really calming. She gave great suggestions on selecting vendors and coordinated amongst them to create a seamless schedule for the wedding day that gave us the peace of mind to really enjoy the day rather than worry about logistics. The wedding day proceeded flawlessly, and our guests could not have been more complimentary of how on-point the overall coordination was. We fully recommend Melaina and Showrunner Events to anyone looking for planners or coordinators for weddings or other events - they are truly phenomenal.

I photograph real people in natural light and gorgeous settings, throughout Sonoma & Napa Wine Country, the Bay Area, and beyond. Using humor, connection, and my calm & warm energy, I work with a wide variety of people from all backgrounds and perspectives (even/ especially camera shy folks!). I gently guide couples through very natural moments together, to capture their individual and collective personalities, in the most beautiful, & honest, way possible.

Jessamyn is one of my favorite photographers in the Bay Area! Being a wedding planner, I get to work with many different photographers all of the time. Sure - there are many talented photographers in the area for clients to choose from (Jessamyn being one of them). It's obvious by looking at her portfolio that she takes beautiful photographs but what you can't see online is how easy Jessamyn is to work with. When clients ask for advice on hiring a photographer, I always say that it's important that you choose a photographer who you are comfortable with. If you are uncomfortable, it will show in your photos. Jessamyn is extremely laid back in a good way. She goes with the flow and is a joy to work with. Her positive attitude and flexibility is truly what sets her apart from the many talented photographers in our area. I can't recommend Jessamyn enough!
