Waller Weddings

  • Serves San Buenaventura (Ventura), CA

We are Dustin and Courtney, best friends and photographers. Before we shot weddings together we were a bride and groom. Yep, dated and married in less than a year! We just knew we wanted to do life together. As time has gone by we learned much more important things about each other. For example, Dustin’s heart can easily be won over with a hot cup of coffee, surfing, chasing our kids and any action movie. Courtney's perfect day includes drinking a chai latte, going for a hike with the family and shopping.

We had the best time with Dustin and the Waller Weddings team as our wedding photographer and videographer. Dustin took incredibly beautiful photos, and he had this perfect style that made us very comfortable and at ease. He struck a perfect balance of guidance and direction to capture photos but also stepped back and silently took candid photos after big moments like our first look and after the ceremony. Dustin helped provide a foolproof timeline and was very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend using Waller Weddings as your photographer!

Kiernan Michelle Photography

  • Serves San Buenaventura (Ventura), CA

My favorite part about what I do is working with all of the great couples I get to meet. I love getting to know my clients and discovering what is most important to them about their wedding day. Each and every wedding is different and each deserves a unique approach to capture thoughtfully. It is exciting that I get to see into so many different little worlds every day. My motto is to do everything in love, and I feel like that is reflected in my work and attention to detail. Also, its great getting to be around happy people all day!

On your wedding day things go by so quickly and it can be difficult to think back on specific moments or individual details. So, I can't overstress the importance of getting great photos that capture things as they were, rather than just an exciting blur of color and familiar happy faces that your memory will likely be left with. Keeping that in mind, the photographer you choose and trust with such an integral part of your wedding day has to be someone you have full confidence in and, wholeheartedly, I can say that Kiernan meets and exceeds all the expectations of what makes an incredible wedding photographer. She was able to make my (now) husband and I feel relaxed, while also offering VERY helpful and necessary directions of how to pose (down to the way to tilt our head, where to look, where our hands should be, etc) and that was so appreciated! It made me feel so much more confident to know that if something needed to be changed or corrected in order to get the best photo possible, she would notice it and then she’d let us know what we need to do to get that shot. Then, after the wedding, when my husband and I received our sneak peek photos, (which were sent so quickly that we got them while we were still in our post-wedding hotel suite) and we were blown away by how beautiful they turned out. There were so many amazing shots that I loved, I couldn’t pick a favorite... I had at least 10-15 top favorites. To wrap it up, Kiernan is an insanely talented photographer, a true professional and just an overall sweet, lovely person. If you are getting married soon and are looking for a photographer that will be able to deliver photos you will cherish forever AND who will make you feel comfortable and confident while the photos are being taken... I highly recommend Kiernan Michelle Photography, as I sincerely believe she is the best you will find... I know she was for me!

Hi y'all! Thanks so much for stopping by my page and considering me for such an important time in your lives! My name is Lauren but I also go by Lu. I am an elopement & wedding photographer located in Ventura County but I am always willing to travel! I have been doing photography for about 3 years now and have just finally taken the plunge to go full time and to say the least it has been the best decision I could have made for my life. I want to say thank you SO much for even considering me & I hope to hear from you soon!

There’s a million and one positive things I can say about Lauren. For starters, she helped soooo much with both my engagement photos and my wedding photos. I was adamant that I wanted to take photos in an elevator / bar for my engagement photos and she made sure I got everything I wanted. She is so sweet and so helpful. Not only did she make the wedding timeline and stick to it; she also helped me get in and out of my dress, fixed my heals and made sure I ate throughout the day, and stayed hydrated. She even made sure that the wait staff at our venue brought me and my husband our own plate of appetizers. Her and Sierra were amazing. All of my guests ranted and raved about how helpful and fun they were. The photos she took at both our wedding and engagement shoot were 10/10 PERFECT!! I have found my forever photographer in Lauren and will continue to refer her to family and friends.

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.

10/10 would recommend randall!! We booked him for our engagement shoot and wedding and we are beyond appreciative and impressed. RDL is the only photographer my husband and I could agree on. We liked his photography style, the quality of the work, the price, and his personality. He even guided us with the timeline to make the most of the time and photography. For both the engagement shoot and wedding day, he guided us and made us feel comfortable. We’re def not models but he made us look great! We were able to get some posed shots and some Candids. He was PATIENT with us and didn’t make us feel awkward at all. The day of the wedding, I got so many compliments from our families with how they appreciated his presence. He kindly directed people and was patient with us and our guests. Def professional guy and just honestly a good personality. He’s also priced well. Def recommend booking a consult and booking him for your events!! You won’t regret it

On the big day, Ashley traveled from Arizona to capture our Colorado wedding. She helped immensely with organizing the timeline and coordinating with other vendors. Most importantly, the quality of Ashley's work is simply stunning. Her photographic style resulted in elegant, unique and professional photos that we will treasure forever. She perfectly captured the joy and love of our special day. We couldn't recommend Ashley highly enough for wedding photography services.

I am a wedding photographer based in Providence, Rhode Island. My love for photography began over a decade ago and has been an integral part of my creative journey ever since. With a solid foundation in fashion photography, I bring a unique perspective to capturing weddings. Five years ago, I shot my first wedding, and it was an unforgettable experience. Being part of such a special day and bringing joy to my couples is incredibly important to me. I am passionate about capturing the most intimate and significant moments of your wedding day, ensuring that each photograph tells the unique story of your love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza photographed our small intimate wedding. From the outset, she set out to make sure the day went smoothly and that we would get the best pictures possible on our special day. We explained to her that our wedding would consist of a very short ceremony and a dinner. The rest of the night would be some games and hanging out, but no dancing. Our original vision was to have her photograph the ceremony, group shots, and the dinner and skip couple portraits. After consulting with her, she recommended skipping the dinner photos (nobody looks good while eating) and photographing the ceremony, group shots, and, since our package left us with a remaining hour, plan for couple portraits before our ceremony. It was great advice and we're happy to have the couple portraits! On the day of she was very approachable and made us feel comfortable during our private session. She was clear when directing and arranging folks for the group photos. All of the pictures turned out great! I would definitely recommend Liza for any wedding or special occasion!

We recently asked Joyce to be our photographer for our wedding at the San Francisco City Hall and we loved her. She was very friendly and provided great guidance on where to take photos and how to pose. Joyce was gracious and courteous and was always willing to work with any requests that we had, but we didn't have many since we were already happy with the direction that Joyce was giving us. We received the photos a couple months later and they turned out much better than we expected! Joyce really captured the best moments and the overall euphoric atmosphere of the day! We really could not be happier with how the photos came out and look forward to another opportunity working with Joyce again. Thank you so much!

I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

Hi, I'm Nicole! From a young age, I always had a camera in hand and absolutely loved taking photographs and documenting anything that caught my eye. Born and raised in Southern California, I love the beach, bright colors, and documenting couples' love stories. Pursuing my passion for photography, I graduated from Brooks Institute of Photography with my BFA. I photographed my first wedding in 2014 and never looked back.

Nicole is THE BEST! We initially hired her for our engagement shoot but we loved her photos so much once we saw them that we immediately hired her for our wedding too, and those photos came out equally as amazing! Nicole did such a great job capturing all of the happiness, warmth and love from our wedding day that I feel like I’m reliving every wonderful moment when I look at them. Beyond her skills as a photographer, Nicole was so patient and kind with all of my questions and was such a sweet, positive person to have with us at the wedding - when it was time for her to go I didn’t want her to leave! Overall, Nicole was a marvelous addition to our day and captured every beautiful moment in pictures that our family and friends are still raving about months later!

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.

I got married in Napa Valley and didn't know who to hire for my professional pictures. The venue recommended a few names and after contacting Vanessa I knew that is who I wanted to work with. She was very caring and patient. She was on time and didn't disrupt the moment when I was getting ready, instead she made it special. She gave us poses to do and talked to the venue to make sure we could go to a little bridge I wanted to take pictures at. I highly recommend her!!

Your experience with me starts long before you step in front of my lens. I take the time and energy to get to know you & your story, so that I can capture the parts of your relationship that are authentically YOU. So that you can look back on the photos from this season of life, and feel like you're right back in that moment, feeling those same feels. To me, a perfectly posed & still photograph doesn't capture a feeling the way that a candid one can. I direct my couples to create images that are full of movement and those intimate in-between moments.

Shelby and her team were amazing to work with. They were extremely professional and edited our photos perfectly. Shelby found great locations at our venue for pictures, and was she took any and all suggestions I had regarding how to pose, who to pose with, and the style of photos. She made our wedding day that much better, and I recommend her for any event/photoshoots that you may need her services :)
