Randall de Leon Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Pasadena, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

We’ve been lucky to know and work with Randall for a few years. When we finally decided to make things “official” we knew we wanted someone that does great work, that we trust, and would make us feel comfortable. We wanted our day to feel like a relaxed family event and Randall helped with that and so much more. He suggested possible locations that would meet our dream event and times to maximize the best lighting for the area. Once we settled on the location and date, he maintained excellent communication in preparation to the event to properly flesh out the day’s timetable, day of logistics, and post. On the day of our wedding he expertly directed us and our families, using the natural lighting to capture the perfect shots. We would have been lost without him, especially since no one knew how to assist with bustling my dress. During our dinner reception he seamlessly directed restaurant staff to assist in transitioning between meals/dessert/toast for more amazing shots. After the wedding he kept us updated on next steps for our pictures. Randall is truly a gem and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone special to capture their day.

Porterhouse Los Angeles 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,250
  • Serves Pasadena, CA

My name is Zyaire Porter and I am the photographer of Porterhouse LA Weddings. Born & raised in Los Angeles, I have been capturing weddings professionally since 2013. I answer every email myself (no bots or assistants).

Awarded Best of Zola
Porterhouse LA did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. Zyaire was artistic, punctual, and precise. We received our photos very quickly after the wedding, and are absolutely in love with them. We’ll treasure these for the rest of our lives, and have had so much joy from sharing them with others. The comments we’ve received have all been about how beautiful the wedding looked, how good everyone looked, and how gorgeous the photos were overall, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Zyaire met with us over Zoom twice before the actual wedding, and took every one of our concerns and questions seriously. He had a good answer to everything, and it convinced us that we were dealing with a consummate professional. We also asked him to shoot our welcome party for guests, and he was able to oblige with that, as well. We first met him in person for the welcome party, and he was already there when we arrived, getting background shots of the venue. This was something we hadn’t even considered, but it was really valuable - having shots of the venue, and the venue for our wedding, helped put the other photos in context for people who weren’t able to attend, and gave us mementos of the locations themselves.

Mirage and Light Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Pasadena, CA

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

Amanda was so great to work with. Her images were stunning!! But she was also communicative and helpful. She made the big day run even smoother and the couple was soo happy with their pictures.

Baha photographed our wedding reception and she was a joy to work with. She was really efficient, she went around the venue and got creative shots of the scenery and decorations that I just LOVE, and she was quick about getting all the family photos done so we could get back to the party! She was great about being professional and being stealthy, but she was also so much fun to be around that she was a great friendly addition to the reception. A few people asked me if she was a friend of mine because she fit right in! I will be requesting to work with Baha on my future photography endeavors because she's very good at listening to my photo requests and executing them in her own creative way.

I booked calibridal film for my fusion Indian/American wedding and they did an INCREDIBLE job capturing our events. The communication was very seamless leading up to the events and the photos turned out amazing. We are so happy we worked with them and highly recommend. Our ceremony was very colorful during the daytime outdoors and our reception was in a ballroom with more minimalist decor, and they captured both events perfectly. I loved looking through all the photos, not just the portraits but the great candidate they got of guests. Thank you Anna!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jay actually stepped in as a replacement on behalf of our original photographer, they were buddies :) The night before to the morning of, Jay was very communicative from the start & even afterward we were wrapped up from our ceremony. Of course being that this was our first time getting professional photographed as a couple, Jay guided us through poses, angles, allowing to feel very comfortable & natural in front of the camera. Plus he had a great eye when taking candid shots, which is one of the main things my husband & I wanted 3 At the of the day, he went out of his way to send us sneak peek shots of our photos & just from that kind gesture & professionalism alone, said a lot. Thank you so much again Jay for capturing such a special day for us, especially with our love ones there. All the photos turned out so beautiful!
