Our experience with Taylor and Yan from Sounds Originals was phenomenal. They went above and beyond to ensure every significant moment was captured with creativity and precision. The end results were nothing short of spectacular. The photos were high-quality, with stunning clarity and perfect lighting. Each shot was framed beautifully and told a story of its own. They were punctual, well-prepared, and adaptable to the changing dynamics of the event. For example, when we were behind our schedule for our couple's picture, Taylor suggested a great idea of finishing our sections during the cocktail time. Taylor's approachable and engaging manner made the photo sessions enjoyable and stress-free for us. She was really helpful with guiding us with posing when we didn't know what to do. The video footage was crystal clear, with smooth transitions and impeccable editing. Overall, I would highly recommend Taylor and Yan from Sounds Originals to anyone in need of an exceptional photographer/videographer. Their passion for their craft is evident in every shot and frame, making them a joy to work with.

Eivan's made our wedding day wonderful! Alexander Schmidt was our photographer, and our videographer was Noah. We got our pictures back sooner than expected, and they suited the exact style we had hoped for. Communication was great, photos were easy to access, and we were allowed free download for so many pictures! One family portrait had one person not looking, otherwise people were smiling and looking in everything. Many people commented on their professionalism as well as their kindness at the wedding. Thanks, Eivan's!

Rebecca y Las Otras 

5.0

South Pasadena, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
I showed my best friend some of Rebecca’s work when we were searching for photographers and she marveled that the folks in Rebecca’s photos “feel so much more like real people than other shoots like this.” That precisely captures Rebecca’s work + energy and confirmed our decision to work with her! We worked with Rebecca for our elopement ceremony and our tea ceremony and it was truly a special experience. Rebecca made an huge effort to know and support us as a couple before the event, which helped us trust that she would be there to capture all the right moments and then some! Our family and friends all loved her and we got many questions about how we knew her and if she was a friend of ours (she is now!); this really speaks to her kind, open, and genuine presence. She moved the event along while also treating everyone with respect and compassion. We already knew that her work was incredible and we couldn’t be happier with our own results. We cannot recommend Rebecca enough! You’ll get beautiful, soulful photos and the chance to have an amazing human in your life if you book her!

Awarded Best of Zola
Carmen, you are absolutely amazing and phenomenal! It's been 2 months, and every time we look at the photos, we're right back to our dreamy destination wedding, reliving each precious moment you captured! Working with you was such a breeze right from the start. You're not just super professional but also have this magical way of really getting what we wanted, making sure every moment that mattered to us was caught perfectly. Our wedding in Cancun was picture-perfect, and even though it was your first time there, you explored the venue like a pro, finding all those gorgeous spots for our photos. Throughout the whole celebration, my partner and I just soaked up every minute, never having to worry about where you were or if you were capturing everything – we just knew you had it covered... and oh girl, you really did! Seeing the photos, I was just blown away. You caught every single emotion, the big, joyful moments and those quiet, intimate ones that mean so much. The way you paid attention to every little detail, catching the sweet looks and the outbursts of laughter, it’s just incredible! You’ve got this special talent for not just taking pictures, but telling our unique love story through your lens. And the photos, oh, they’re more than we ever hoped for! They’re like little pieces of art that show who we are together, and every time we look at them, we fall in love with them (and each other!) all over again. Carmen and your amazing team, a gigantic thank you for playing such a huge part in our wedding. You captured the essence of our celebration with so much love. We’re beyond thankful for your incredible talent and the unforgettable memories you’ve gifted us to hold onto forever.

We just finished our engagement session with our photographer Iman (who will also be shooting our wedding day). He is so kind, knowledgeable, and creative. We did a ton of different poses and angles on El Matador Beach, it was evident that it was way not his first shoot there. My fiancé and I have never taken professional photos like this before, and Iman helped us feel comfortable and confident in ourselves. We had so much fun! Based on today's experience, I can't wait to see the photos and to shoot again with Iman on our wedding day!

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephen was a delight to work with throughout our engagement and on the day of our wedding. He is a calm, cool, and professional photographer who was always supportive of our ideas and able to lend fantastic input regarding posing, setting, and album design. Stephen always had incredible and talented assistants who were able to find tremendous shots at both our engagement and wedding shoots. The quality and style of his work were exactly what we were looking for -- more candid and 'in-the-moment' than posed and portrait-y (though we certainly got plenty of family portraits too!) We would be very happy to work with Stephen again for any future photography needs.

Weddings are indeed stressful. The whole process of trying to figure out what our kids wanted, needed or desired for their wedding creates a situation where there are just too many options out there and it gets confusing or even overwhelming. With Michael’s experience, he was able to cut through a lot of the questions and made things very very simple and manageable. His discussion with the happy couple beforehand gave him an idea as to where he wanted to go in a direction with the photos was a nice considerate touch. He arrived earlier in the day to work out all the finer details with the facility and during the wedding and even after made everything, not only very easy but fun and entertaining for everybody who participated. The quality of the photos and the uniqueness and time put into each one of them may this a great experience. I can’t recommend him enough.

Our expertise extends beyond photography, we offer comprehensive services including videography, DJ/MC, and photo booth rentals, ensuring a seamless experience for any event. Tom Keene’s dedication to his craft and his clients has solidified his reputation as a leading portrait photojournalist in Southern California.

We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Tom Keene of LA Digital Photo photograph our wedding at the California Club in Los Angeles. He stepped in on very short notice, yet somehow still managed to exceed every expectation we had. From the moment he arrived, Tom brought a calm, professional, and joyful presence to the day. He guided us through poses effortlessly, was impressively efficient with our (very large and lively!) family group photos, and managed to capture the energy and emotion of the entire afternoon so beautifully. Everything felt seamless and stress-free in his hands—something every couple hopes for on their wedding day. One of the most special moments of the day was a quiet conversation we shared with Tom on the patio before dinner. That simple, grounding exchange stood out to us—and the photo he took in that moment is one we’ll definitely be framing. It was such a meaningful pause amid the excitement, and his warmth made it even more memorable. And then there were the sneak peek photos—delivered that same night! We were blown away by how stunning they turned out. If those were just the previews, we can't wait to see the full gallery. Tom went above and beyond in every way, and we’re genuinely so grateful he was a part of such an important day in our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and truly thoughtful wedding photographer. —Sienna & Stephen

She works in both digital and film mediums and her work has been featured in publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, Destination I Do and Brides.

Awarded Best of Zola
Since receiving our wedding photos from Jess, several of my friends and family members (including 2 professional photographers!) have asked me for her contact info because of how amazing her photos are!! When we started looking for a wedding photographer, we knew that we needed to find someone with a great eye for candids, who wouldn't make our pictures feel too staged, who had a fun/funky vibe like us, and who could handle wrangling my extremely large family (full of very opinionated people) for family photos, and Jess handled everything with ease! I feel so lucky that we found Jess, and I cannot recommend her more. Jess made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding day, and even gave guidance to family members who are normally awkward in photos (e.g. suggesting ways to pose to make them more comfortable). Jess went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, checking in with us, getting to know us, and even coming to a venue walkthrough so she could get a sense of the space! I am so grateful for all of the work Jess put into our wedding, and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I rarely even like photos of myself, but I honestly am so in love with the ones that Jess took that I jump on every opportunity to whip out my phone and share them with friends!

Gabbie Burseth Photo

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves South Pasadena, CA

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Gabbie for our wedding and she absolutely blew us away. From the start, she was so easy to work with and got to know us, our story, and our style. We first had an engagement session with her, where she had a beautiful location in mind that fit our style perfectly. My husband and I were nervous because we're not used to being in front of the camera, but Gabbie's calm and fun nature put us at ease immediately. She has a way of creating certain moments that don't feel completely posed and resulted in absolutely stunning photographs that we cherish to this day. We were an original COVID couple (postponing our wedding a month before it was meant to happen in Spring 2020) and were so thankful that Gabbie was willing to work with us and all of the fluid changes we were dealing with daily. On the wedding day and all of the chaos that comes with it, Gabbie was a steady and calm voice amidst the craziness. She did a killer job despite dealing with on and off rain. She has this amazing ability to blend right in throughout the day while beautifully documenting our special moments. Once we received our complete gallery, we were speechless. The time and effort she puts in to selecting and editing every single image shows how truly invested and caring she is. She even managed to photograph little moments we didn't even notice her there for. She captured the spirit, love and fun of our wedding perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Stephanie Hanno Photography specializes in fine art wedding photography with a documentary and photojournalistic approach. Southern California based but travels worldwide. Capturing your special moments to last a lifetime.

I messaged Stephanie a couple weeks before my proposal and I can tell just by direct messaging how helpful she would be. She was very supportive in my idea and also added some great ideas of her own. I see people often talk about how photographers could’ve done better or they wish how their photographer would’ve done this or that. With Stephanie my fiancé and I were able to come out with everything we dreamed of and more. She took the perfect amount of initiative through the whole process. I can speak for both my fiancé and I when I say we were blown away by not only the quality of the actual photos but just how unique they were. We fell in love with so many of them it was the hardest thing to try not to post every single one. I’m looking forward to working with her again on future family photos, events and most importantly memorable moments.

I have known Jordan for a while as an event photographer and wasn't sure if he did grad pictures, especially for groups. I was pleased to figure out that he does grad photos too and is extremely flexible about it! I had a group of around 11 people, and he was able to give me quick responses about the rate, which was an absolute deal. Jordan really cares for his clients and makes sure that everything is discussed before the event, including an itinerary. He was extremely flexible if we needed an extra hour and potential location itinerary changes. Coordinating 11 people for a photo shoot is not easy, but Jordan managed to do it with ease, attention to detail, and efficiency! Thanks to his expertise and creativity with poses and shots, we got some amazing solo and group shots that we will remember for a lifetime. He magically makes the experience very efficient, but is also not afraid to have fun! Highly recommend!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

From our first consultation, it was clear that The Narrative Weddings (Photo Video) were the perfect fit to capture our perfect day. Their relaxed, efficient, and professional communication style put us at ease, and their work was truly dreamy and exactly what we wanted. The Narrative wasn't just another vendor - they were seamlessly woven in like old friends with cameras, capturing every moment from getting ready, to the first look, to the lively reception. We would book The Narrative 1000 times over if we could, as they understood exactly what we were looking for and delivered perfection in their photos.

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

Daniel was a pure joy to work with. Went above and beyond driving all over Santa Barbara for our wedding! We loved our photos and the experience with him so much. We hate having pictures taken and he made it feel so effortless. Look no further!!

My wife and I had actually happened upon Demecio and Luna Bella two years prior to our wedding completely by chance at a wedding expo in LA. Like any prospective couple, we had no idea what we were looking for. Luna Bella was actually one of the first vendors we spoke to on the floor that day. Hours later we had come to the conclusion that they were probably who we would choose for photos, it wasn't even close after talking to a hall full of photographers. Luna Bella was actually the first vendor we officially booked and by far the single best choice we made. We actually contracted Demecio and his team to do our engagement photos on top of the wedding photos, from the start he was extremely courteous and his enthusiasm made the day fun. Even early on Demecio was open to our ideas and engaged in even the smallest details my wife or I suggested. Post engagement he was easy to communicate with, for all the vendors we worked with, it was more like talking to a friend than just someone working a contract. This was made even more apparent as leading up to our wedding and the day of his team was as excited as we were for the wedding day. There's a million things that go into a wedding day and obviously having someone to rely on to help line out details and timelines like Demecio was a godsend. On site the day of, Demecio and his team weren't just photographers. Of all things, the last thing I expected was to be complimented on how much fun our wedding guests had interacting with his whole team. Some of my family mentioned his team members by name recounting small moments they helped inspire and capture in photos we later saw. Beyond that the Luna Bella team took so much love and care in their craft, if you're willing to spend the time with them, they're willing to go the extra mile to capture just the most gorgeous photos you'll ever see. Quality wise the delivery was timely and the style of the photos looked clean and natural. Overall I cannot recommend Demecio and the whole team at Luna Bella enough. They're straightforward in their promises and over deliver on results. An extraordinary team that I'm beyond grateful to have met.

Victoria is an absolute dream to work with! There is no one else I would have used for my photos. She is extremely organized, communicates clearly, and is up front with every decision. I loved having her give me suggested timelines and ensuring I had those special shots that were on my must haves. She is also a teacher, so was outstanding at organizing the group for pictures and communicating clearly. Her pictures are out of this world! I will cherish them for a lifetime.

Caitlin and the team did an unbelievable job on our engagement video. The shoot itself was a really fun experience, with the videographer making us feel extra comfortable and fading into the background when needed. And then the final product... blew us away. Amazing cinematography and editing, A Shot of Love Films made us feel like movie stars. Highly recommended for any of their services!

Sarah Bloom is a photographer, filmmaker and storyteller drawn to the dark, dirty magic of human connection. She makes art in an attempt to capture moments that feel raw - intimate - alive, like lightning in a bottle.

I showed Sarah a couple examples of what we were thinking for our engagement shoot and she knocked it out of the park. Such a great photographer and has such a great eye!!

My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.
