Misha did both our engagement photos and day of wedding photos. We love every single engagement photo she took. As a couple who is typically shy (and incredibly awkward) behind the camera, she made the day fun and carefree and captured our personalities so so well. Our wedding was originally scheduled three weeks into the first "shelter in place" shut down due to COVID-19. We went back and forth on how to handle the ceremony/restrictions given the quarantine restrictions. Misha was SO understanding a flexible with our constantly changing plans. We had a last minute mini outdoor ceremony and drive by reception and Misha captured this day SO WELL. Looking back the photos bring us to tears every time.

Awarded Best of Zola
Carlos provided wonderful service at both our engagement shoto shoot and the day of our ceremony. He started both with a quick speech on posing and posture to help everyone look their best. He brought his son as a second shooter for our ceremony, and they both mingled with our guests at the reception, getting casual shots of most of our friends and family. He provided finished photos so quickly after the event (a little over 400 photos) that we were able to send those casual shots out with the thank you cards.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

HI! I am Anastasia (she/her), your Northern California elopement and wedding photographer and so much more. My passion for photography began when I was a child. It started as a hobby when I fell in love with photographing families and babies. Over the years I realized I adore documenting couples, in all stages of their relationships. I know they say we should specialize in one type of photography, but I am not sure I can ever do that. I love to create and I get bored with only doing one thing.

Anastasia was simply amazing to work with. She values her customers and she absolutely takes pride in her work. Anastasia was communicative with us from beginning to end and we valued Anastasia’s honest and knowledgable feedback about our venues (we ultimately dodged a bullet with our first selected venue). We were highly impressed that she provided us our sample gallery in record time! And we received our full gallery in the promised timeframe. We hope to do a couples session with her when we return the Monterey area!

Michelle Alexandra is a wedding and editorial photographer based in Monterey, Ca and has traveled across the US to capture some of the most beautiful love stories and fashion editorials. Michelle is passionate about creating imagery that is authentic, emotional, and timeless. With a love for fashion and editorial imagery, Michelle has become know for her unique take on wedding photography. You can see it in her compositions, her use of lighting and the way she captures her subjects. Her work has been published in magazines such as People, Marie Claire, Elle, Dare Magazine and most recently Harper's Bazaar.

There are so many things I loved about working with Michelle. She is a super easygoing person and has a calming demeanor that made us feel really comfortable when taking our photos. She was on top of her stuff; always prepared and even going above and beyond like traveling to shooting locations and showing up early to capture photos, like during our welcome pool party, that weren’t even included in our contract. She is extremely talented; her shooting and editing style is perfect in my opinion for wedding photos - soft, clean, and timeless that will never go out of style. And she is just a lovely person in general. Let her work speak louder than these words though - seriously, just check out her website or instagram photos and you will see what I mean. With both our engagement and wedding photos, we were overwhelmed with how many we loved which made choosing which to share and print so hard! That’s definitely a problem you want to have :) Thank you so so much for everything, Michelle. We loved working with you and appreciate everything you did for us more than we can ever say! These photos will be a constant reminder of the love and fun we felt throughout our engagement period and wedding. If we could get married again and start all over, we would do it without hesitation and would choose to work with you every single time.

I am so lucky to have found her and the moments she captured. Couldn’t recommend her enough for your special events!

Christina is nothing short of amazing! Christina was one of the first vendors we booked & was recommended to us via the vendor list provided by our venue. We had interviewed a few photographers before that we liked but didn't feel we 100% clicked with, but the moment we started talking to Christina we knew it was an immediate fit given her vision, personality & professional style. She is one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding & I cannot say enough good things about Christina both as a person & a professional! Not only is Christina very easy to communicate & get along with, she made the whole wedding photography process extremely organized & seamless with a relaxed feel which is exactly what my husband & I were looking for as we both are a bit camera conscious. She has a great POV & vision, capturing a good mixture of documentary style, posed & candid photos throughout our engagement photo shoot & wedding day that we will forever cherish. Her 2nd shooters for both our engagement & wedding day were extremely kind, patient & so lovely to work with as well. She also helped guide us to our videographer who we absolutely loved working with as well & it also made the whole documentation process throughout the day so easy because they have worked with each other well before! Again, we are camera conscious, but having our photographer & videographer know each other & have worked together before made it really feel like we didn't have excessive cameras or shots of us taken all day long. Christina's prices were fair & competitive with the current market in SF Bay Area (personally I think she undercharges for what she delivers & considering how quickly she generally turns around things). She also charged us a very fair price to stay on for additional photography as well when we requested it about 1-2 weeks prior to our wedding. Again, can't say enough good things about Christina & thank her enough. I'm not sad wedding planning is done, but I am sad about not getting to work with Christina! Hopefully for future family shoots or other photography needs!

This October, I worked with Elope in Monterey to have a small wedding with my immediate family in attendance. I feel so unbelievably lucky that Catherine was my photographer! I showed up to my wedding without ever meeting Catherine, but her warmth and friendliness made me feel comfortable immediately. As someone who is pretty shy in front of the camera (same goes for my partner), I was surprised by how comfortable I felt in front of Catherine's lens. She really let us be ourselves and joyfully captured all the silliness that makes us who we are. I also really appreciated her helpful directions and tips for posing, which she always delivered kindly. Catherine really made us feel like she was so happy to be there and for me, that really made my experience so pleasant and memorable! Even though our package only included 60 minutes of photography, she never made us feel rushed and she really went the extra mile to get us a large variety of shots and made sure we had many photos in various configurations of our group! I've received our photos, and they are stunning! I cannot thank Catherine enough for capturing the joy of our special day!

Maria Villano Photography

  • Serves Salinas, CA

I've been photographing weddings for over ten years and I love it even more than when I started. I consider it an honor to be there for so many special moments in people's lives and find something unique and new with every wedding day. I am punctual, flexible, and attentive, helping to bring a calm and focused vibe to your wedding day.

My husband, Rob, and I have been married for a little over a month now and since then, we've reflected on everything from our Sonoma wedding -- all the parts we loved about, things we wish we could change, relatives we wished we didn't invite... but above all else, we are over the moon to have had the privilege of sharing our day with Maria. From our very first intro phone call, Maria was everything we were looking for in a photographer. She was friendly, direct, professional, and had an amazing sense of humor that made us feel comfortable immediately. She had wonderful way of sharing her ideas and thoughts without pushing a specific style or direction on to us that made us feel confident in our decisions. I recall during the conversation that she had been the only vendor to have asked Rob what he envisioned for our big day, what he wanted, how we met, and how he would describe our style. Though small, that really stood out to us and during the call, Rob and I looked at each other and with a collective 'yeah, let's do this' and booked her immediately. We never though an engagement session would be in the cards for us, but Maria took us out of our comfort zone and gave us a day in Point Reyes we will never forget. I look at our engagement photos basically on a weekly basis and think about how far Rob and I have come from that day, but to also remember what an awesome day that was getting to know Maria and feeling comfortable in front of her camera. If you're like me and feel like an engagement session is too extragravant or not a must-have, I urge you to reconsider. It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know Maria, feeling good with our poses, learning our angles (trying to, at least), and honestly, is a really fun thing to do together amongst all the planning. As our wedding was in Sonoma in October, there was threats of power outages (thankfully, we were all clear) and Maria had texted me a few days prior to share encouragement and let me know it was all going to be okay. I was so moved by that and it meant so much to have her looking out for us. On the day of our wedding, Maria was everything and we could not imagine that day without her there. She made us both calm and grounded amidst the chaos and nerves of the day, never losing sight at how big of a moment this was and made us, our families, and friends all feel so beautiful. This woman, though, does not stop. Shortly after our wedding, Sonoma was once again under the threat of more power outages (insert expletive about PG&E here). As Maria lives near the area, her family had to evacuate. Before I could even reach out, she let me know that the evacuation would not delay her process and had all of our photos everything backed on to a hard drive. I mean! I can't even. Our photos came out stunning, from our pre-ceremony shots, to dancing photos and everything in between. Our pre-ceremony portrait session was honestly such a highlight from the day and I am so glad she suggested doing a first look (seriously, DO IT!) because the lighting was magic and it was a blessing to have the time to do it all before the reception began. These photos are memories we will cherish forever and ones I can't wait to show our future family (I'm not normally this sappy, but this is seriously how talented Maria is). Since the wedding, Rob and I have loved every minute looking back on it all but more than once we've asked - Can we hang out with Maria again? Thank you for everything :)

I have a visceral reaction every time I witness love and true connection. It’s the electric feeling you get when you’re part of something that’s happening in the present moment. Being able to document that truly brings me to life. I pair best with couples who seek a documentary style and give me their trust to capture their moments. Your wedding day is not a performance. It’s about you, your big love, real life, and your closest people. The quiet moments, the loud ones, and all the in between . I document just that, in a photojournalist meets editorial kind of way that tells the story of your unique love.

Words cannot begin to describe how incredibly happy we are to have had Onawa capture our wedding day! Not only is she incredibly talented as an artist at capturing the best moments, but everyone (not just me and my husband, but all of the guests!) had so much fun with her and felt so natural around her! The photos truly captured our best day in the best way. Looking through them all, it feels like we are reliving it all over again. From our first conversation almost a year out from our wedding, to the weeks following it, Onawa communicated with us every step of the way (even welcoming us home from our honeymoon!). She is beyond talented and we absolutely could not be happier with our photos that we will cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nadeen's artistic eye, natural talent and knowledge of photography created the most magical wedding and engagement photos we ever could have asked for, completely exceeding our expectations! We worked with Nadeen for about 8 months in 2023 leading up to our September wedding in Big Sur, CA. She was kind enough to meet us in person 7 months before the wedding for engagement photos (even on a rainy/windy day in Big Sur!) which helped us get to know her and become more comfortable with what to expect for being photographed on the actual wedding day. Nadeen did a great job guiding us on how to look natural for our photos and made us feel super comfortable being photographed. On our wedding day, Nadeen was there every step of the way and captured our day beautifully. It was a pleasure to have her there and she did a great job of keeping us on track, making sure we captured all photos we wanted, and even took us on an extra special excursion to a separate location for sunset photos. From the wedding shots, to the priceless candids, stunning detail shots, and variety of natural light, flash, black and white photos, every single image was taken with thought and love and turned out beautifully. We had the best time working with and getting to know Nadeen. It felt like we were just hanging out with friends! Cannot recommend Nadeen enough for your wedding, engagement or any other event where you may be looking for a photographer!

I’m Flora and I'm a California native who loves to travel and chase the light in Big Sur. I love to ski, snowboard, hike, kayak and explore new locations. I pair best with couples who seek adventure and give me their trust to capture their moments. I want to capture the wind in your hair, the way your hand reaches for your partner and the real way you embrace. I don’t want to be just another vendor on your list, I will be by your side all day, from lifting your dress so you can pee to patting down that stray piece of hair, let’s be friends while we do it! I would be honored to join you !

Flora Review From the moment we stumbled upon Flora Gibson’s portfolio, we were instantly captivated by her ability to capture raw emotion and breathtaking scenery. It was in that moment that our search for the perfect photographer was at an end. From our initial interactions with Flora, we felt an immediate sense of ease and connection. Her warm and friendly demeanor put us at ease, making it effortless to discuss our vision for our elopement. Flora’s professionalism was evident as she took the time to understand our story and what moments were most important to us to capture. We knew we were in good hands when Flora asked us personal questions about our relationship through a special questionnaire to get to know us even better. She even wanted to know our favorite music choices so that she could help curate a playlist for the day. Music is an important aspect of our relationship, so it meant even more to us that she valued the importance of creating the perfect atmosphere for the day. Planning an elopement can be a bit nerve-wracking, especially when it comes to entrusting someone to capture the once in a lifetime moments. However, any worries we had quickly dissipated as Flora demonstrated her expertise and attention to detail throughout the process. She provided valuable guidance, ensuring that every aspect of the shoot, from lighting to composition, would be flawless. Her experience with elopements was clearly evident and immensely appreciated! Flora walked us through each step of the way, yet allowed us plenty of space and time to create our own intimate and private memories. From the forests of Oak Glen to the cliff sides of Soberanes, we shared intimate moments that will forever be treasured. What truly sets Flora apart is her ability to make couples feel genuinely unique and special. She went above and beyond to create an atmosphere that allowed our love and personalities to shine through, despite any feelings of awkwardness or discomfort. Flora’s talent lies not only in capturing beautiful photographs but also in cultivating an environment where we felt comfortable being ourselves. Any feelings of insecurities were quickly dissolved. We still don’t know how she managed to do it, but she somehow made us beginners look like we were seasoned models, as if we had done photoshoots many times prior. Her genuine enthusiasm and passion for her craft were infectious, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of the shoot. She was able to draw out the most intimate moments of our embraces and capture them so effortlessly. When we received the photos from Flora, with expediency, we were absolutely blown away. Each image beautifully encapsulated the essence of our elopement, from the tender moments shared between us to the breathtaking vistas of Big Sur. Flora’s keen eye for detail and her ability to capture the raw emotions that unfolded during the day were truly remarkable. It was as if she had transformed our love story into a visual masterpiece. Many of those who have seen our photos have made comments about them looking as if they came straight out of the cover of a romance novel. There are no words to describe just how we felt reminiscing our elopement. Tears of gratitude, joy, and love have often been shed looking back on that November day. Thank you, Flora, for immortalizing our love story. You are a true artist, and we are eternally grateful for the memories that we will forever embrace!

Heather was lovely to work with. She had tons of ideas which made things way easier for me and less to worry about! She shot our engagement pictures on the east coast & our destination wedding in Spain. For the engagement shoot, it started to rain and turned for the worse! I figured the day was over and that was it, but Heather got creative, pulled out a fun umbrella and we had a great time!! The pictures are super fun and amazing to look back on now that we are married. The wedding pictures were just as fun-- Weddings are known to be high-stress but Heather was on top of things made life so much easier. She knew which pictures to take and when I would forget about certain group combinations with our families she would remember and get the shots! Not to mention she is just a super nice person so I felt comfortable making requests or asking for certain things. I also love the edits she did and really made the images stand out. I really can't recommend enough for every couple to book Seeking Venture for their wedding!

I've never been much for tradition, so you can imagine weddings were never really my "thing" when I first picked up a camera. Luckily, I found that the wedding industry has been evolving away from the old cookie-cutter format and that is what keeps me doing what I do. My favorite weddings are the ones where you & your partner's personalities show throughout the day rather than getting lost in all the things you "have" to do. I love being part of a day filled with so much love & excitement and what I aim to do is find you in all of it. Because weddings aren't about fitting into a mold anymore - they're about you getting to celebrate your love.

In our search for a wedding photographer, Sarah's artistic style caught my eye right away. She offers a blended service of candid and semi-posed photographs which matched how we hoped to capture our wedding day moments. From our first phone call and in-person consultation, Sarah put us at ease. She helped organize our style preferences and 'must-capture' moments as we planned for the wedding. Her questionnaire helped bring focus in the planning phase and on the wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. I highly recommend Sarah's services, she has an eye for the little details you want to remember and she was discrete during the ceremony and reception while snapping candids (which I appreciated as someone who gets nervous in front of a camera!). We are so pleased with our photos and had a great time working together with Sarah.

I believe in equality, representation, and being kind to everyone. I believe in promoting self-love, confidence, body-neutrality, and general badassery into each of my clients.

But you shouldn't let it hold you back from enjoying life because you're so amazing and so so much more than your weight

JeLau Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very first time we spoke, the owner Jen was so helpful, direct, and kind - making the entire process leading up to the big day smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, Jen kept me feeling calm and on schedule, and made every moment fun and enjoyable. The quality of their work is truly outstanding - the photos are absolutely beautiful and captured the perfection of our special day. Jen is an amazing person which makes her amazing to work with, and we are so grateful to have had her as our wedding photographer. We couldn't recommend JeLau Photography more highly!
