I started shooting photos and video in Greece, and since moving to the US, I have dedicated myself to shooting weddings, elopements and engagements. I love being able to capture the love that my couples have for each other and the unique energy each couple has. I am always down to shoot in new locations and find the best place for my shoots!

We were so lucky to have Te Dua Weddings capture our special day. From the moment we first spoke with Enea, his communication style was filled with love and enthusiasm and he understood exactly what we wanted/were looking for . Enea and Hayley were a true joy to work with, making us feel cared for and appreciated throughout the entire process. I came to Enea with the idea of entering our Venue with a video rather than with a song. Him and Hayley both captured our engagement pictures and clips for our video. He presented a beautiful gallery of photos for us and then the video. Which was perfect to say the least! The quality of their work is simply outstanding and you can tell they put their love into what they do! We are so grateful to have such beautiful, timeless photographs as well as Video that perfectly preserve the magic of our wedding and Engagement. Te Dua Weddings truly was one of a kind, going above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot recommend them highly enough. We ran into issues 4 days before with our Photographer (We only hired Te Dua for Wedding day Video) and Enea was kind enough to offer pictures as well in between capturing for the video. He did something he wasn't hired to do and made our day that much less stressful. Cheers Enea & Hayley. We are forever grateful for you two!! I will for sure be re-hiring them for any future events and I would chose them Over and over and over again. Don't hesitate to look elsewhere, Te Dua Weddings, is the perfect choice! Enea, YOU OUTDID YOURSELF!! P.S. I even got my Cinderella moment and it was unplanned!!!

  • Serves Rio Nido, 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.

Jenny and her husband Chris were fabulous to work with! We decided to move forward with the month-of package, however, Jenny was in regular contact in the months before the wedding to make sure she had all the vendor information she needed to ensure a smooth transition for the month-of. We met weekly during the month leading up to our wedding, reviewing decor strike lists, rental orders, catering quantities, and addressing any concerns / hiccups that arose. The only factor completely out of our control was the weather, and as we had an outdoor venue booked for mid-October the likeliness for rain was possible but SO extremely low. Well... it happened. It rained the entire day, although it was a light mist, the dripping from the redwood trees above never let up. Jenny was truly our rock on the day of our wedding. She did everything in her power to make sure vendors were set up as best as possible, guest's seats were wiped immediately prior to seating, and she was able to pivot our entire dining experience from our intended plated dinner to more of a mix and mingle style service. It all worked out, guests raved about the wedding and Travis and I were encouraged and supported by both Jenny and her husband Chris throughout the entire day. We had a moment together prior to the ceremony where I was starting to panic, the rain was not letting up as forecasted and Jenny gave us a much needed pep talk: this was our wedding, this was our story and we are going to embrace the day! We did just that and it was incredible! I am so grateful that we booked Jenny and for her support the day-of and the month leading up. She is extremely organized, thorough, and her years of experience in event planning / management are evident in her work ethic and how smoothly the day went despite the rain. Thank you, Jenny & Chris! :)

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!

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!

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 started looking for photographers after realizing that our nighttime, entirely virtual ceremony (thanks Covid) wouldn't be conducive to good photos and booked her for wedding portraits before the ceremony. After having gotten our pictures back, I'm am so happy and relieved I trusted my gut with them. Not only did Lauren scout out and help us find locations that would work in our extremely limited time frame (I can't say enough about how awesome she was for finding spots based on our desired background + helping us find niche parking spots on google maps), but she made us feel so comfortable and confident. Throughout the photoshoot she was exceedingly positive and encouraging, and my husband and I left feeling like rockstars. She paid attention to our good/bad angles - she kept directing us to do things during the shoot (like crack jokes, switch sides, etc) that saved us from our less photogenic tendencies. She was also highly professional, diffusing a couple of awkward situations with people in our shoot locations and setting a timer to make sure we got back to start our ceremony on time. The pictures largely speak for themselves though. My husband and I are notoriously bad at having photos taken and I was really nervous about having only a few good ones to choose from. I'm still surprised that I've only been able to narrow my favorites down to 80 pictures! I loved the types of shots she took, which were a great blend of up-close moments and landscape shots. I also had a few "props", like a bouquet and dupatta, and she was great at figuring out when to add/remove them from a shot. I feel like the editing style is good balance of modern and classic, and I have no worries about these pictures aging badly. I could go on forever, but coming from a person who was sincerely worried that she was incapable of having a good photo taken, I can't recommend Eichar photography highly enough

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.

From start to finish, working with Vanessa was an absolute dream. We knew our wedding photos would be important, but the moments she captured completely exceeded all of our expectations. From the very first consultation to the final delivery of our images, every step of the process was seamless, professional, and filled with care. On the day of our wedding, Vanessa was not only incredibly skilled but also a calming and positive presence. They blended into the day perfectly, capturing candid moments without ever being intrusive. The photos are a perfect mix of breathtaking portraits and those spontaneous, emotional snapshots that tell the story of the day. From the laugh-filled getting ready shots to the tender first look, every photo is a work of art.

Meg Cooper Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Rio Nido, CA

My name's Meg and I'm an elopement & intimate wedding photographer based in Sonoma County in Northern California. When my husband and I started planning our wedding day, we knew we wanted something very different than a traditional, cookie-cutter wedding day that centers on performance. We wanted an experience that was intimate, sentimental, and relaxed. And that's exactly what we created! We kept the traditions that made sense to us, and scrapped the rest without a shred of guilt.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Meg, we immediately knew she was the perfect fit for us. Our initial consult call just felt so different compared to the other photographers we had met with previously. Meg took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, and invested so much of her time and energy to help us dream up our perfect day. Honestly, we weren’t really sure what we wanted in our elopement outside of being in nature; we were really overwhelmed. Then, Meg provided us with so many useful resources like a comprehensive guide on every possible thing there is to know about elopements, had us fill out detailed questionnaires to understand our vision, and crafted a detailed timeline to keep us on track on our special day. Meg even did extensive research on specific photo locations based on our vision and then helped us refine our timeline to ensure it met all of our needs. She even came to our AirBnb the night before our big day to scope the property and calm our nerves. In the process, she found the perfect spots for our first look and small ceremony. Meg went above and beyond in more ways than we can even articulate (and this was all just with the planning phase)! The day of our elopement, Meg was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence, a confidante, and a friend. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera that we forgot she was even there at times. We laughed, we cried, we danced, and Meg captured it all with an intimacy and authenticity that left us speechless. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. Meg had not only captured the big moments, but also the tiny details that made our elopement and relationship so special. The way the sunlight filtered through the redwood trees, the way she captured us on top of the ocean bluffs feeling like we were on top of the world, the look in our eyes as we exchanged vows, the gentle touch of our hands - it was all there, preserved in stunning detail. Meg is not just a photographer; she's a storyteller and a master of her craft. She captured our elopement in a way that exceeded our wildest expectations, and we will be forever grateful for the beautiful images and memories she helped us create. If you're looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture your love story in a way that is both beautiful and authentic, look no further! Words truly cannot describe how incredible Meg is both personally and professionally.

Harrison Boyd Photography

  • Serves Rio Nido, CA

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Hi! I’m Michelle, a wedding photographer and labor and delivery nurse with a passion for capturing life’s most beautiful and emotional moments. Whether I’m helping bring new life into the world or preserving the joy and connection of a wedding day, I’m dedicated to celebrating love, life, and family.

Every story deserves to be remembered, and it’s my honor to be part of yours.

Michelle did engagement photos for my fiancé and I and they were spectacular! Michelle helped us pick out a location that went with our vision. During the session Michelle gave us so many funny and unique poses and actions to do that came out so well! We had so much fun and were smiling and laughing the entire time! Michelle is going to be our wedding photographer too and I can’t wait to see what masterpiece she creates!

Aubrey Lorraine Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Rio Nido, 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.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Aubrey Lorraine for our micro wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience or the photos. Aubrey was incredibly friendly and professional from start to finish. She was so easy to work with and naturally made you comfortable through the whole shoot, making the process so much fun! Her talent behind the camera is undeniable. We've received so many compliments from friends and family on how stunning and thoughtful our photos are. She captured every moment with such artistry and attention to detail; she has a real gift. Aubrey also went above and beyond with her turnaround time. She provided sneak peeks within 48 hours (which we were so excited to share!) and delivered the full gallery much earlier than promised. We were blown away by how quickly she worked, and how many photos she provided. If you're looking for an incredibly skilled photographer who is a joy to be around on your special day, I can’t recommend Aubrey enough. She made our intimate ceremony feel just as special and beautifully documented as any big event. We’ll cherish these photos forever.

I am a Mother, Poet and never-ending dog trainer of my 3 spoiled fur babies. I grew up around photography, my grandfather was a photographer and this has always been something I loved to do. I love people and I have a ton of fun working at events. I am always excited to capture these moments for people and proud to share my results afterward. Photographing people and moments over the years is my true calling in life. Gives me great purpose and I really do enjoy it.

Opal did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! We were nervous because neither my husband nor I enjoy having our pics taken, but opal put us at ease and got some incredible shots! Highly recommend!!
