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.

Cassy has photographed our engagement, wedding, graduation and maternity photos. This review is long overdue. She’s so communicative and professional. She’ll make you feel comfortable right away and knows her stuff. She takes beautiful photos. You won’t regret going with her for your photos for any occasion. She’s awesome and just a super nice person and wonderful photographer. For our wedding, she went above and beyond and got so many great photos. Do it, go book her now.

She pays attention to every little detail to get the best photos and was so skilled in finding the perfect shots throughout the weekend. We loved working with her and would suggest her to any couple across the country as she knows how to scope out any area for the best shots. Her consultation process was great, she gave us a lot of good ideas and considerations to help us make sure we got in as many good family/friend shots as possible so the whole wedding party could have nice photos to remember the weekend by as well as us. She went above and beyond throughout the wedding night, coming back to grab her camera off the clock to get a bunch of candid photos of the dance floor and reception. Thank you Maddie for capturing our special night, we loved working with you.

My name is Mallory, and I am a fine art film wedding photographer based out of Southern California & available worldwide. Growing up I always had a creative mind. I felt drawn to the camera but never knew why, or that one day it would become one of my main purposes in life. I began my business in 2012 and can honestly say that I have never looked back. I would describe my style as delicate, romantic, elegant, but most importantly - timeless.

Mallory is an incredible photographer who’s talent shines through in every photo. She is so sweet, caring, and really puts in the effort to make sure everything runs smoothly while making you feel so special. She documented our connection and the love and joy we felt from our guests. Even after our gallery was delivered she checked in to make sure everything was perfect. We are so grateful for her time and everything she contributed to our engagement shoot and wedding day. Thanks to her we now have timeless photos that will be cherished for a lifetime.

  • Serves San Juan Capistrano, CA

Originally from Mexico with a background in architecture, I discovered my true calling behind the camera at age 13. What started as a teenage passion has blossomed into Judith Baños Photography, where I've spent years documenting life's most precious moments. My architectural training gives me a unique perspective on composition and light. As a bilingual photographer, I specialize in weddings, proposals, elopements, and pet photography because I believe in preserving memories that last forever.

Judith took our engagement photos when I proposed to my fiancee at her parents' home in Manhattan Beach. Judith was phenomenal. The photos were stunning, she allowed the scene to unfold naturally while still making sure to get the best shots. She stopped at nothing too, once we gave her the go-ahead. She even lied down on the ground to get the ring shining off the sun. I could not recommend her highly enough for your needs. Everyone who's seen our photos has been so complimentary, and we could not be more thrilled with her work.

Anatoliy is from Kazakhstan, where he studied transportation technology at Karaganda State Technical University, before getting his MFA in filmmaking from New York Film Academy. Susie is from LA, and she studied molecular & cellular biology at Harvard University (along with film and animation), before getting her MS in computer science from UChicago. While we were both in engineering, deep down, we always had a passion for storytelling. And one day, we decided that life was far too short for us not to do what we loved: creating and sharing real stories.

I don't think there are words to truly express how much Anatoliy K, Susie, and team made our wedding photo dreams come true. From a perfect engagement shoot on the beach to our big day in a spring garden - the photos say it all! Each moment and detail was so perfectly captured, and made our hearts burst looking at each picture. We are truly blown away by the high-quality, attention to detail, and gorgeous compositions that came out of such a creative team. Once I saw AnatoliyK Weddings on Zola, they stood out, and they truly delivered. It was SUCH a pleasure and joy working with Anatoliy and Susie from the beginning to end. They made our vision come to life, and we have it for a lifetime to remember! THANK YOU so much to such an amazing wedding photography team. I cannot recommend you hire them enough!!!

In April 2019, I started as a full-time wedding photographer to pursue my life time goal. I would love to capture your unique love story!

Their communication throughout the process was top-notch--always prompt, clear, and thoughtful. On the wedding day, their efficiency truly shone. Not a single moment was wasted, yet they managed to capture every beautiful detail, emotion, and candid moment without ever feeling intrusive. What impressed us even more was their incredible use of an assistant photographer--working seamlessly together to cover every angle while maintaining a smooth, stress-free experience. What sets Justin apart is their flexibility. They adapted effortlessly to changes in schedule and location, constantly offering solutions and keeping things light and fun. It felt like having a true partner in the planning process, someone genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The photos are nothing short of magical--every image tells a story and perfectly captures the day's joy, love, and excitement. We couldn't be happier with the results, and we highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a photographer who combines artistry with professionalism and makes.

Not only did she make our photos flawless, she is a true hype girl and brings out natural smiles from the most awkward humans. She also took the time to let my baby niece use her camera to take blurry photos of the floor and she was mesmerized at 3 hours past her bedtime. I will be using her for all my future photo needs!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

Emma is truly exceptional. Words can’t fully capture the magic she brings to her work, no praise feels quite high enough. She made every moment of our wedding feel special, as if it were the most important event she’d ever photographed. Emma is warm, approachable, and endlessly creative. Her photos don’t just capture the day, they let you relive it, every time you look at them. Her style resonated with who we are as a couple completely. It felt like she truly saw us and translated that into every image. We were able to see the wedding not only from out perspective but the perspectives of our parents, family, and friends. Even with our more unconventional wedding plans, Emma took everything in stride with grace and enthusiasm. She’s a rare gem, and having her as our photographer was an absolute gift.
