Shutter & Sound 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

Christy Kendall Photography

  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

After 10 years of shooting I can tell you happily that I still think I somehow got away with having the best job in the world. I adore being able to photograph the moments of life that make it worth living. Weddings, birth, family, there are concentrated amounts of love in these moments and being able to give someone a way to hold on to that visually is absolutely wonderful.

Christy is a true professional - she is meticulous, creative, and a master of her craft. She captured my husband and I so authentically for both our engagement and wedding photos. She and her team were responsive, professional and accommodating from start to finish. Christy remained calm and composed despite the summer heat, family chaos, and various photo requests throughout the night. She made us the priority and ensured we felt comfortable and taken care of. We intend to hire her a million more times for life events worth capturing! Can’t recommend her enough.

Let's Make A Memory

  • Fine art style

  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

I'm Adrian Ong, a passionate wedding photographer, husband, and father. I love starting my day with coffee, croissants, and enjoy collecting sneakers. Photography is where I channel my creativity, especially capturing the beauty of multicultural weddings. My style blends timeless elegance with a modern touch, focusing on emotions and genuine connections to create meaningful heirlooms. As the owner of Let's Make a Memory in Los Angeles, I’ve earned awards from WPPI, The Portrait Masters, and WedAward. My work has been featured in top wedding magazines, and in 2016, SLR Lounge honored me among the "Top 21 of 2016’s Best Images."

We couldn’t be happier with the experience we had with Let’s Make a Memory! From our engagement shoot to the wedding day, Adrian and his team made us feel so comfortable and truly captured every moment that mattered—those emotional glances, spontaneous laughs, and everything in between. The photos are stunning, and the highlight video perfectly tells the story of our day—we’ve already watched it more times than we can count! Their attention to detail and care for every little moment made all the difference, and the quick turnaround was the cherry on top. If you want a creative, professional team that feels like friends and makes the whole process easy, look no further. Thank you, Adrian, for giving us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime!

Emily McGahee Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Welcome to Emily McGahee Photography, where Southern charm meets West Coast creativity! Originally from South Carolina, I've spent over a decade embracing the vibrant spirit of Los Angeles, which has become my cherished home. Photography isn't just a passion for me—it's a means to connect deeply with my surroundings and to immortalize precious moments for others. I find immense joy in preserving the essence of life's most treasured memories through my lens, while forging meaningful connections with everyone I photograph.

Emily shot our wedding back under the pier at Manhattan Beach. She was great in every way. We live out of state so we had a preliminary zoom call to meet and go over expectations. Loved her personality and work immediately. Keep in mind, I’m a photographer myself and I loved that on the day of the event, she arrived early, she jumped right in, she was great at getting sneaky shots from afar as well as wrangling people into shots (I’ve found a lot of photographers are pretty passive and quiet and don’t really get too involved, which I’m not a big fan of. Emily gets it done!) The photos turned out beautifully and came back in a super reasonable timeframe. I would hire her again and again, but I’m really hoping this is my last marriage and I won’t need her for any more wedding photography! -D

Becca Maas Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

I'm Becca, a midwest transplant in Los Angeles (yes, one of those people), wife/homebody, Christian, and newfound happy plant lady. My day is made whenever I see a cat, I cycle through re-watch binges of my favorite shows constantly, and I always have something home-baked on hand in my kitchen. I’m pretty used to third-wheeling it and am excited to be any couple’s wedding day companion and new lifelong friend & coffee date!

Choosing Rebecca for our engagement session was one of the best first decisions we have ever made as we started our journey to our big day. Rebecca was absolutely the right person to capture all of our unadulterated and perfect moments. She was very professional with how she listened to the elements that we wanted for the background. Since my fiance and I came from the Philippines, we wanted photos that were unique with the beach and palm trees of California. She worked with the idea and found options for the shoot. She was also very mindful of the weather forecast and made the right decision to cancel when she knew it was going to rain on the date we initially chose. Rebecca did not only produce beautiful photos with her eye for detail and talent to blend light and nature, she captured our character as a couple. It is rare to find someone like that. Photographers can point and shoot but for someone who will be able to be at that exact moment and see the REAL you as a couple is priceless. We had great conversations during the shoot and it felt like we were out for a walk with a long time friend. I highly recommend Rebecca for her professionalism, punctuality, passion and heart.

I am a fine art wedding and elopement photographer based out in Los Angeles, CA. I’m passionate about telling love stories through photographs in the most beautiful and meaningful way. Love stories are an infinite source of inspiration to me and I believe that the most magical images are made up of connection, emotion, and light. I wholeheartedly believe that you should live in the moments you want to remember forever and we feel so grateful to have the opportunity to work with such incredible couples who have the same approach to love and values that we share.

I would 10 out of 10 recommend Jennifer to all my friends and family! She is just so sweet and amazing. My husband and I have never done professional photos before and she made it so easy going. She first did out engagement shoot and we had so much fun. We both felt very comfortable in front of the camera. Jennifer is also very punctual. She also shot our elopement in Santa Barbara, we got sneak peaks back that same day ( how amazing, right?) and when we received all the photos about 3-4 weeks later, we were BLOWN away. Looking at the pictures made it feel like we were reliving the moment again, I am so so so happy that I chose to have her do our pictures, they truly are amazing and I cant wait to frame them for my home.

In 2013, I took the camera from the photographer I was assisting at a wedding and haven't been able to put it down since. I believe capturing some of the most memorable moments in a couple's life is an honor and a privilege. My passion is fueled by the thought that the bride and groom will be able to look back on these images and relive one of the best days of their lives. The love, joy, camaraderie, and coming together of families to celebrate is electrifying, and photographing that energy gives me purpose. I never anticipated being a photographer, but im so happy photography found me.

Zej was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very start, his communication was professional, prompt, and respectful. His work is truly top-notch - he has an incredible eye for capturing all the special moments that made our day so meaningful and memorable. I could not be more impressed with the entire experience working with Zej. We are thrilled with the results and any couple would be lucky to have Zej as their wedding photographer.

Hi I'm Rachel! I'm based in Los Angeles, CA and I love photographing people in love. It a passion of mine to tell the unique stories of my couples and capture them in a way that is authentic, true and beautiful. I mainly shoot in natural light I love the outdoors! But I know how to work lighting for indoor scenarios. My editing style can be described as moody, warm and film like with subtle grain and contrast. Most my clients praise me as really easy to work with and holds space to make them comfortable and look their best!

We loved working with Rachel from beginning to end. She takes beautiful photos and I am obsessed with her color processing, but aside from the product itself, she’s a lovely presence to have on such an important day. My husband hates having his photo taken and even he was relaxed and enjoyed the process. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat.

Symboll® Wedding Photo & Video

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,990
  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Symboll® is a team of Wedding Photographers and Videographers based in Los Angeles and San Francisco. We meet at the intersection of Art and Weddings, where a vision exists only in your mind, and we respect the responsibility of turning it into a reality.

We are so glad to have found Symboll to be our wedding photographer and videographer. We wanted unique photos and videos with a clean editing style that wouldn’t appear overly filtered, and Symboll checked every one of those boxes. We opted for the C2 package with RED videography, which was priced incredibly competitively considering the quality of work. Additionally, it came with up to 10 hours of coverage by default whereas most other vendors we looked at typically offered 8 hours. Working with them was a breeze. It started with messaging their client managers Christian and Attila who broke down their transparent and simple pricing structure. After payment, they sent a helpful questionnaire not only to help Symboll get to know us, but also allow us to narrow down what we wanted. They were always super quick to respond to our questions, and we never felt lost along the process. We were ultimately connected with Shant as our photographer and Misha as our videographer, and we were so lucky to have them on our wedding day. Both were incredibly professional, kind, and overall joys to work with. Importantly, our wedding happened to fall on a day with suboptimal weather (end of March 2024). It rained heavily for much of the day, and we had booked a largely outdoor venue (Rancho Las Lomas). Despite this, Shant and Misha were incredibly flexible to the wet conditions. These unique circumstances also highlighted the strength of Symboll’s creativity, as Shant and Misha took advantage of the storm to create some incredibly cinematic shots of us. We were so glad to have chosen Symboll when we saw our photos, since we are confident that few other photographers/videographers would have been able to leverage our unfavorable weather conditions like Shant and Misha did. Because of the weather, they were unable to use their drone to capture our day, but they provided us with a teaser reel video in addition to our feature film. Final photos came out beautifully and the short film came back in such a timely manner. We are so happy with the results!

Adri was also very organized when it came to our family photos right after the ceremony. It made everything go by so smoothly! Also Adri is super quick with her photo turnaround time!

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were looking for a wedding photographer and Roberta happened to be recommended to us by coworkers. After our first meeting, we knew that we were in good hands. Roberta is organized, pays attention to detail, and is incredibly easy to work with. Our venue was in Mammoth Lakes, about a 6 hour drive, and Roberta was more than happy to accommodate a destination wedding. She even scoped it out the day before to check the landscape and lighting. During our photo sessions, we felt relaxed and natural, at times not even realizing she was there. Her style was right in line with ours and fit the mountain venue perfectly. Roberta listened to our requests and truly captured every detail of our special day from start to finish. We are so grateful to have so many amazing pictures to look back on and remember it like it was yesterday. We highly recommend Roberta and would love to work with her again should we need photos in the future.

Having Leslie as our photographer was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding. Her great eye, understanding of light, and authentic desire to document love by means of photography has given us beautiful, quality images that we’ll cherish for years to come. She was awesome to collaborate with, as she took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand what details were important to us to capture. She worked with our wedding planner to ensure things would flow smoothly, including being cognizant of sticking to our timeline throughout our wedding day. She is professional and pleasant to work with, as she has a calm and friendly yet nonobtrusive demeanor that makes taking pictures with her easy (and our guests agreed as well). Choosing the right photographer is such an important wedding decision since photos are one of the few ways that valued memories are preserved, and we are so appreciative that we had Leslie as ours.

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

I don't know how else to say this, but my husband and I are THE most awkward people when it comes to photos. We forget how to smile, we never know where to look, and we don't know what to do with our hands... or faces. We had a different photographer for our engagement photos and I didn't like the way 99% of them came out. We looked uncomfortable and awkward. I emailed Cassy about how uncomfortable we are in front of a camera and she called me to reassure me that she would be able to give us direction and make sure all the photos turned out great. We had a tiny micro wedding on the beach during covid with just our immediate family. I hired a picnic company to set up a tiny ceremony and hors d'oeuvres. Cassy captured all the details of the set up beautifully. My in-laws wanted a coffee table book of our wedding photos, and it was so hard to pick just a few. We got so many incredible photos! Our couples shots look like something in a magazine. She made it so fun, we never felt weird or uncomfortable. Cassy had these little tips and tricks and she'd get genuine laughter and smiles out of us. There were no forced smiles or awkward faces. When I look at my photos, it brings back all the memories of laughter and joy on our special day. I'm so grateful we found her! All our photos are light, airy, and perfect. Thank you so much, Cassy!

From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day. Birchfields truly went above and beyond, taking unique angles and perspectives that allowed us to relive the entire day through their stunning imagery. When it’s hard to figure out which photo you want to print out and hang on the wall, you know you picked the right photographer! We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Steve to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

She graduated from NYU Tisch with a BFA in Photography while working alongside fashion designers & directors on editorial and campaign productions. For over a decade, Natalie has directed her lens towards weddings, finding a meaningful depth in the relationships that she develops with her subjects and the cultural & physical environments that surround them. Her background in fashion marries a tender, documentarian perspective to provide refined imagery with an editorial edge without compromising the truth of what happened.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Natalie, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final photos. Her creative eye is unmatched, and she provided such thoughtful guidance on posing, which made the entire process feel natural and effortless. Natalie has a true talent for capturing moments in a way that feels both timeless and artistic. I also want to highlight her editing for film photos—it’s nothing short of incredible! The tones and textures she brings out are so beautifully done and added an extra layer of charm to the photos. If you’re looking for a photographer with an exceptional eye and a warm, professional approach, I can’t recommend Natalie enough. She’s truly a gem!

I'm a florist who has worked many times with Grace over the years. Her images are always impeccable and beautiful. She has an eye for capturing all the details (like your flowers!). Her professionalism allows the couple to take center stage and she works well with all the other vendors to make sure the day runs smoothly.
