Loren Hansen Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Penngrove, 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.

  • Serves Penngrove, CA

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
As a florist in the wedding and event industry, we really value photographers who do beautiful work and are professional and friendly with their fellow vendors. Lisa is that person! Her photos are gorgeous, she captures our work so beautifully and is a joy to work with. She also takes a lot of photos, from detail shots to personals to candids, during an event which we really appreciate. We highly recommend Lisa Stone Photography if you are looking for a talented, professional photographer to capture your memories.

Lauren and Jamie here. Hi! We love all love. We’re down to earth, creatively driven, ready for beautiful adventures, and in this business for the moments. We're so excited to hear about your wedding plans and to start chatting-- we'll do our best to get back to you within 24 hours. A great way to start getting to know us is over on Instagram where we post and share behind the scenes on stories almost daily: @eicharphotography Head to our website to see our images in full res and to stalk us some more: www.eicharphotography.com Looking forward to your email!

I wish I could leave 10 stars. We were both feeling a little sheepish about having an engagement shoot as we didn’t want pictures that looked super staged/forced. Well that was not an issue at all, Lauren and Jamie make you feel so at ease that you’ll want to be their best friends by the end of the shoot! They were down for every suggestion and worked with all the differing weather conditions that SF threw at us that day. They even made sure to get some great pictures that included our pup! They sent us sneak peeks so quickly and the full album of photos was ready in record time! I cannot tell you how many people have asked us who took our photos! They turned out so lovely and I am so excited to have found such a wonderful team and I can’t wait to continue using them in the future!

Russ Levi Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Penngrove, CA

I am an irreverent guy who just so happens to create beautiful-rich-vibrant-uniquely-authentic wedding photography in and around the Bay Area, all over California and anywhere there’s beautiful light.

Awarded Best of Zola
Russ was an absolute dream to work with. Fun, friendly, great at sorting all the details beforehand and an absolute star on the day. The photos were stunning – we'd initially questioned whether we would even bother with a photographer, but after working with Russ, I can tell you, it is 200% worth it. Me and my husband have never looked so good in a photo in our lives (and likely never will again...). Russ perfectly balanced being a fly on the wall when it mattered (during the ceremony, etc), with giving us some much needed guidance for fun group shots and portraits. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Book him now!!

Hey there! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma + Worldwide! I travel everywhere. 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). My couples often say how comfortable I make them feel, how I capture the real moments without being intrusive, and how much fun they have during our shoots. I’m obsessed with the details and love when couples pour their hearts into making their wedding day unforgettable.

Vanessa is hands down the most professional and easy going photographer we’ve ever had. She is so good at her craft and puts so much work into the entire wedding day! I can’t say enough great things about her.

Aryk Copley Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,350
  • Serves Penngrove, CA

Welcome! My name is Aryk, I’m a self-taught artist who built my skills from the ground up. My experience in photojournalism and street photography combined with my love of fine art are the foundation of my style. My approach to weddings is that of a documentarian and a witness. My couples are folks who value quality and intimacy, and want their wedding day illustrated with a unique album filled with artful candids, punctuated by breathtaking fine art portraiture.

Awarded Best of Zola
Aryk is one of a kind. Our wedding was so beautifully captured thanks to them. As a wedding photographer myself, it was important for me to find someone that excelled not just in the technical aspects, but in the overall experience they provide their couples. Aryk always made me and Noah feel comfortable and listened to. They're sensible, communicative, professional, courteous, and always engaged. Always going with the flow, Aryk can adapt to change while still providing excellent results. We appreciated how Aryk's photography method provided us with a one-of-a-kind gallery: a blend of film and digital, all showcasing the genuine emotions I so desperately wanted captured, and in such a beautiful way. Our families and friends are STILL so in awe of the photos we came out with thanks to them. We love you Aryk!!

Working with Bustle & Twine for our wedding was nothing but an easy, no stress, fun experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Daniel as our wedding photographer in October 2019 and were very happy with his services. We did an engagement shoot 8 months before the wedding to get comfortable in front of the camera, and we even got some amazing pictures of our cat :) Daniel was always responsive and gave good advice on how to prepare for the day and some best practices. He was extremely kind and our family/ friends and coordinator enjoyed working with him. We had a one hour rain delay on our wedding day and he was extremely understanding and still worked with us to get the best pictures possible. The turn around for our pics was about 3 weeks (but we got some great sneak peaks the NEXT day!!) and we absolutely love how they look. I would highly recommend Daniel for your photography needs- thanks again!! Mia & Matt

Serving Healdsburg, Napa, Sonoma and the Bay Area Easy and fun, like all weddings should be. (The stress stops here.)

And let’s not forget the great wine, the perfect scenery, and the memories you’ll have forever because you two came here to say “I do.” You’ll have those moments because I’ll document them for you. And I can’t wait.

Aubrey Lorraine Photography

  • Serves Penngrove, CA

My love for photography sparked from a deeply personal place—watching my children grow up way too quickly and wanting to capture those fleeting moments before they slipped away. This journey turned into a passionate calling, and now, I look to bring a documentary and cinematic style to every session I have with my clients. As a quiet queer and a loud LGBTQIA+ advocate—everyone is welcome in front of my lens. My priority is creating a safe space for my clients where they feel they can express themselves freely so I can capture the uniqueness that makes them - them.

Aubrey made us feel so comfortable ! She took amazing photos to capture our engagement and will be doing our wedding as well. She was fun, kind, professional, and all around such an incredible photographer to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking!

Lily Rose Photography was created to photograph people and our specialty is photographing weddings and events. The best way to describe our style is 'comprehensive and all encompassing! Parts of the day are wedding photojournalism; documenting emotions and events. And, parts of the day are created and styled... all together, these make up your unique wedding day images that capture your love, emotion and personality, ... authentically. Our style of editing is clean and we tend to stay clear of fads and trends as these will 'date' your images.

Lily Rose Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, their communication was direct, clear, and highly professional. The quality of their work is simply stunning - the photos they captured are truly unmatched in their beauty and ability to highlight all the special moments of our big day. They listened intently to my needs and made sure to capture all the moments I truly wanted, going above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect set of photos to remember our wedding. Lily Rose was also incredibly easy to work with, and I'm so glad I chose them to be a part of our special day.

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.

Niki was absolutely wonderful to work with and her photos are gorgeous. She photographed our intimate, family wedding in Calistoga, CA at the end of March. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. She absolutely understood my vision despite me being unable to articulate it at all. On the day of the wedding, she was on time, professional, and fit in right away with our family. She gave direction (that we needed) without being overbearing. She captured so many special moments that I didn't even realize she was photographing until I looked at the photos later. She turned her photos around very quickly and kept me updated on the progress. The photos were absolutely GORGEOUS. She made me (and the everyone else, but let's be honest, it's about the bride) feel and look so beautiful. Thank you, Niki!!

Melissa Atle

  • Serves Penngrove, CA

After 10 years and over 200 weddings, I know how to fold into a large group of people, how to be there and make it feel like I'm not. I've been documenting weddings for nearly a decade and I love it even more now than when I started. My work is candid, emotional, and comfortable. I love to infuse editorial and documentary moments into my galleries, but mostly I just love to be able to photograph moments as they unfold.

It’s been a year since our wedding and I still look at the photos Melissa captured of us on a daily basis. When we were going through the painstaking process of planning and budgeting for our wedding, photos were at the top of my list in terms of their importance. Enter Melissa—we met a year and a half before our wedding day when she took our engagement photos and it was basically love at first sight. We felt so incredibly comfortable with her almost immediately and by the end of our session, we were bantering and joking around like old friends. Flash forward to our wedding day—not only did Melissa take gorgeous photos of our ceremony, first look, reception, etc, but she was a support system and that is something that is truly invaluable on one of the biggest days of your life. I can’t recommend her more.

Amy Little Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Penngrove, CA

I'm Amy, chief picture taker, head editor, dubious web designer, and volunteer animal hugger at Amy Little Photography. Work is always fun because I'm never far from snacks and never close to snakes. Taking pretty pictures is easy. But documenting the honest, emotionally raw, and laugh-out-loud, because you didn't know that happened pictures is where I really shine. Photographing hundreds of weddings has deepened my joy of authentic storytelling. It's also been a catalyst for my cake addiction so I hope you're cool with being an enabler.

When I was looking at photographer portfolios, what I paid attention to most was how they captured candids. Could the joy, love, and excitement of the days shine through? Literally no one could compete with Amy Little there! She has an incredible talent for capturing the sweet moments that make a wedding special. Then I talked to her, and we instantly vibed. She even made my fiance lighten up and feel comfortable -- a herculean task! On top of that, she made us look and feel stunning. She taught us two awkward penguins how to model and let our true selves show on film. I still don't know how she did it! And on the day of, she not only was solving problems like a boss, she turned her creative eye into some jawdroppingly beautiful creative pictures in the rain. She's a genius, and I couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out.

At our wedding, even our guests commented to us about how he somehow managed to be everywhere at once -- he didn't miss a single moment! We got our pictures in a timely manner, and what's more, they are LOVELY! We really enjoyed working with him, adore his photos, and would hire him again in a heartbeat.
