Dana Point, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000

Hailing from New Orleans, LA, and now based out of South Orange County, CA, I fell in love with photography long ago. I officially launched my wedding & elopement photography business in 2021. After graduating in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, I found myself having the time to further fall in love with photography, getting the chance to photograph more and more - so much so that I was able to start my own business in a rather unexpected way. Now able to travel the world with my camera in tow, I am beyond grateful for this passion turned career, & I feel so blessed every time my finger presses down on my camera shutter.

Shooting with Cass was such a dream. She is the most organized-but-easy-going photographer ever, and her style is incredible. She works weddings with such class, creativity, and professionalism that her years of experience really shows - and she puts her clients first by paying attention to their needs, while also capturing a beautiful wedding gallery. She's a fantastic wedding vendor to hire!

  • Serves Dana Point, CA

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

Just wanted to say a bit about G. He did our engagement shoot and we are blown away!!! This guy is not only amazing with a camera, but he also kept things relaxed, which was great because I'm usually not the best with cameras around. The photos came out very nice too!! He also delivered the photos quickly, which was a nice surprise. If you're looking for a photographer who's easygoing and skilled, G's worth checking out. Looking forward to our wedding :)

These candid photos will live in your memories. In a time where moments are fleeting, our goal is to go beyond just a “photo”, but the story and emotion behind each frame. Documenting belly laugh, kiss and small glance is a story waiting to be told.

Bridgette was an amazing wedding photographer! Working with her from start to finish was amazing. We loved our engagement pictures with her and our wedding pictures were absolutely perfect! Working with her leading up to the big day really put us at ease and she was very organized in making sure all the pictures went smooth and were so fun.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm so excited to share my experience with photographer Oleg, and don't know where to start. My fiancé and I spent so much time on the research in order to find the best team, and best quality product, and Zaya was absolutely the right decision, besides they have exceed all the expectations we had. They managed to take all the beautiful moments (even those that I forgot) and the pictures editing was sooo perfect. Since we didn't have enough time on preparation (month only), we couldn't meet with them in advance to discuss what exactly we were looking for, but let me tell you, the real professionals do not need any guidance. The whole team are such perfectionists, and all the services they provide are for 100%. I highly recommend Oleg’s Zaya to anyone who is looking for their moments to be captured by real professionals.

During my time at school, Brooks Photography Institute, I studied multiple types of photography: fashion, commercial, food, nature, architecture, and portraiture. All of this experience has prepared me for bringing professionalism and creativity to every part of your day. I have photographed weddings for 10 years, during which time I learned the ins and outs of the industry. I have traveled to many countries, worked with celebrities and have been there to capture priceless moments for hundreds of people and their families. In 2014, I was recognized by Rangefinders Magazine as one of the 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lauren is absolutely amazing in every way! Her photos speak for themselves—they’re stunning and truly capture the essence of each moment. But it’s not just about the pictures with her. From the moment we started working together, Lauren made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which definitely helped the photos turn out even better. She’s not just a photographer; she’s a joy to be around. From the very beginning, Lauren helped us with the wedding timeline and gave great advice on vendors. On the big day, she balanced professionalism with fun, and so many of our guests mentioned how wonderful she was to work with. She’s fantastic at engaging with everyone and making sure every moment gets captured. We’re beyond grateful for the beautiful photos, but even more so for the amazing memory of having Lauren there with us on our wedding day. Lauren also brought her assistant Ally along as a second shooter, and we’re so glad she did! The two of them were just so grateful to be part of the day, and it really showed. Ally was so easy to be around, and she did a fantastic job with the pictures. When a small issue came up with my veil, she was right there to help without hesitation. We’re so thankful that Lauren brought Ally along to share in our big day—it made everything that much more special. Together, Lauren and Ally made our wedding day even more unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us capture our memories.

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

Nick is such a fabulous photographer -- he captured every big and little moment of our special day. He put us at ease and made us feel comfortable on a nerve-wreaking and exciting day. The photos are some of my favorite of my entire life. He's amazing!

Hi we're so glad you're here, Hello I'm Nardia and my husband's name is Dan. We are a husband + wife photo + video team and we love capturing the adventure and intimacy that we find in real relationships.

Foolishly Rushing In was an absolute dream to work with. We worked with them to capture both our engagement and wedding day. No matter how awkward you may feel in front of a camera, they somehow capture your love in such a pure and honest form. If you are very particular about color grading, you'd be happy to know that theirs is consistent and just gorgeous throughout! We loved how the end result wasn't too "posey," but looked natural and candid. Their films are incredible works of art, going in perfect sync with music to create such a gorgeous product. It was such a joy to work with them and we continue recommending them to everyone we know!

Your wedding is about the two of you together, along with your family and friends, and the celebration of love. My main goal on your wedding day is to help ensure that you always remember the day — by capturing amazing photos and also that amazing feeling of being young and in love.

Highly recommend booking Ashley for your engagement or wedding photos. I booked her for both and am super pleased with my results. Have my engagement photos and wedding framed all around my house :) I was looking for a bright, airy vibe for my photos and that is exactly what I got. During the wedding planning process and day she was very organized and efficient. I still look at my wedding photos and cry because they're so beautiful! Probably will book her again for our next chapter in life- Maternity

Thank you for stopping by my website! My name is Yuki, and I am a photographer based in Southern California. Since I was little, I've had a camera in my hands wherever I go, and it has been my passion to photograph unforgettable moments. My influence came from my father who is a semi-pro photographer and videographer in Japan, and his journalistic photography style encouraged me to anticipate the moments and capture natural impressions. The moments I capture become the past, but what inspires me is seeing people’s reactions to the photographs I take. It is my hope that these moments become timeless. Often clients tell me that having a photo can bring back the feelings and memories of that moment, which is why I launched Yukipix Photography, LLC.

A little about me… I started Hailley Howard Photography in 2011 and built it from the ground up. Using contacts I had in the fashion industry I grew my career one client and one gig at a time. The last few years have been filled with immense growth and many incredible opportunities. We are now a family-run business serving both the wedding, event and commercial photography industries. Pre-COVID I split my time between California and New York, with a lot of travel in between. With everything on standby, I am quietly working from home on the California Coast in Laguna Beach anticipating the adventures ahead. My vision as a photographer is to capture the world and the lives within giving voice to the unique tale we can all tell. Grateful is not a big enough world to encapsulate the positive feelings I have for my passion behind what I do and all the memories and moments it has afforded me.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience with Peter as our wedding photographer! He photographed both our engagement shoot and our wedding—and at a very reasonable price. When we first met Peter at the engagement shoot, my fiancé and I were a little nervous and unsure of how to pose. But Peter immediately made us feel comfortable with his calm, friendly presence and clear direction. He struck the perfect balance—guiding us without making anything feel stiff or forced. The photos turned out beautifully: natural, candid, and exactly what we had hoped for. When the wedding came around a few months later, Peter completely blew us away. Not only did he capture stunning photos of me and my husband, but he also took so many incredible shots of our friends and family. Everyone was thrilled—and we received so many compliments from guests about how much they loved their photos. The detail shots of the venue and decor were so breathtaking that my husband literally said, “THAT’S our wedding?” when he saw them. Peter has an amazing eye for detail and an incredible ability to capture not just moments, but the emotion and personality within them. I’m so happy we chose Peter—he gave us photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives. So will our friends and family. If you’re considering him for your wedding, do it. You won’t regret it! PS: forgot to add that he got the beautiful photos to us so quickly and gave us a very easy to use link to access them.

At The Photography Friend, we specialize in wedding photography that feels as natural and genuine as your love story. Our approach is centered on capturing real emotions and candid moments, ensuring that every laugh, tear, and tender glance is preserved authentically. We believe in creating a relaxed environment where you can be yourselves, allowing us to document your day as it naturally unfolds.

From the moment they arrived I felt calmer, like a weight lifted. They were quietly efficient and somehow never in the way but always capturing the moments. The getting-ready photos are my absolute favorites because they feel intimate not staged, just real. The ceremony photos brought tears to my mom’s eyes, she said it was like reading the day back to her. The video includes small interstitial moments (gusts of wind, a clink of glasses) that make it feel alive. My husband said “they made the day look even better than we remember” and I agreed. They weren’t pushy with poses, just guided gently and let us be ourselves. I appreciate that they checked in with us about must-have shots beforehand. The turnaround was reasonable and their online gallery is easy to share. The prints we ordered arrived looking perfect. Guests commented on how kind and professional the team was. I’ll treasure these for decades.
