We are beyond grateful to have had Memo as our photographer! From the very first shot he took, Memo brought an artistry and creativity that transformed each photo into a masterpiece. His eye for detail and his unique ability to convey emotion through his lens made every picture feel not only beautiful but deeply personal to us. Working with Memo was a true joy. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, he made us feel seen, understood, and celebrated. His patience and professionalism shine through every interaction, and his self-made success story reflects his deep dedication to his craft.

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

Heather was wonderful to work with! We are the awkward type in front of a camera, but working with Heather made everything seem so stress-free during our wedding planning and photo sessions. Our engagement photo session was fun and care-free and we unbeknownst to all of us, she actually ended up taking beautiful photos of our beautiful rabbit, Trixie before she passed on the following month. Something that we truly appreciated and will never forget. For our wedding, Heather was very detailed and gave us a run down of what to expect for the photos. Nothing was hidden and she was up front about it all and asked if we wanted to add anything as well. Although Mother Nature had other plans for the day, we were still able to get the majority of our photos done. She even snuck in polaroid photos that were just too adorable - And I have no idea when she even took them! We received our wedding photos back and everyone absolutely loves them. I just love her style. While there are some photographers who do a large amount of filter/presets (no shade to those who do), there's just something about Heather's style of being able to keep it clean and natural that I just love! With Mother Nature having other plans with making it a misty ceremony and a downpour reception, we did miss out on doing a handful of photos of cocktail hour. Because of that, Heather was quick to offer us a bridal session to take some additional photos to complete our wedding. Instead of returning to the venue, we actually decided to relocate to Fort Bragg and take photos at the Mendocino Garden. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous with the oceanic background and the dahlias that she chose to work with. She made everything seem so light-hearted and there was so much laughter with each session. Thank you Heather for everything you did throughout our wedding planning and so much more. You've captured so many wonderful moments and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

Kait was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! From our very first email exchange, Kait made me feel so special and supported! Her communication, in general, is prompt, upbeat and incredibly helpful as you plan. Her enthusiasm and excitement for our special day was infectious and she made the planning process so much more joyful. Kait made me feel like she was a close friend who I could lean on without ever having met her! On the wedding day itself, her calm and flexible approach helped us feel at ease, and the resulting photos are simply beautiful, with great angles and lighting that made me feel beautiful and a camera shy groom shine. She got us sneak peaks that we LOVED and poured over with in less than 12 hours!

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Azaria! Where do I start when it comes to her and her as a photographer!? She genuinely has been phenomenal all the way around. Not just as a professional photographer but also someone who wants and gives her clients her 110% best and it absolutely shows! She's been insanely patient with me and very reassuring too. Although I am her client who booked her for our engagement photo's and wedding, I have to say there is not a single individual who could compare to the work she's provided. Her confidence, communication, professionalism and reassurance is definitely top tier!! I have total faith in her and what she does, that I wouldn't change a single thing or have it any other way! Her photo's are proof! Her personality is proof. She is so approachable but professional as well as understanding that it was very easy for me to gravitate to her. I know from the moment we had our phone consultation that I knew I just had to have her. Her photo's are gorgeous and the fact I can be so comfortable and be myself makes the photo's even better. Like think about it? If you can't have a client relationship with who your hiring as an important key to your day is it really worth it? Yeah there's a ton of photographers out there but Azaria, I dont regret her and her work for a single second. When she tells you it's about you and what you want what... she means that from the heart. Not to mention she's such a good hype person to have in your corner. I adore this woman so much and her work that I'm already planning on doing photo's with her for when my husband to be and I have our 1st wedding anniversary! She's got an eye for photography and a passion that runs deep in her heart! When I say I recommend her, I truly mean I recommend her without a single doubt!

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Awarded Best of Zola
A little over one year ago, my partner and I needed to get married so that we could be together across the closed Canadian border. We had two weeks to plan a wedding, and put everything together. I reached out to a couple different photographers and Nicky at Nemus Photography was recommended to me. She absolutely passed the vibe check in our impromptu early morning wedding and was so kind, and chill. Such a great person to work with and I'm really happy with how the photos turned out. We booked a very short session with just the ceremony and some couples photos after. She made our hastily put together wedding look absolutely stunning. I'm so happy with everything. Thank you so much.

I have always had a passion for photography and once I picked up a camera, it was all over. I was raised from a big family and my kids are my world! Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have a special love for being back there. I consider myself very outgoing and will always try and make you laugh and feel comfortable by being a huge dork. I think that is one of the biggest compliments I get is that my clients always feel relaxed and at ease and I love hearing that. Not to mention becoming friends with my clients which is an added bonus! ​

Hiring Jeff Hall as our wedding photographer was one of the first wedding decisions we made, and from there on out I knew everything was going to be fantastic. When meeting him for engagement photos, we all instantly hit it off and I knew he'd easy and FUN to work with. He's a photographer willing to go over and beyond to get THE perfect shot (wade through water, climb trees, shuffle through snow, lay in dirt. All of it.) The one thing I wanted at the end of the day was fantastic photos to look back on and hang in our home, and we received better photos than I ever dreamed of (and fast!). In fact, I loved him and the photos so much, I'm just counting down to when I can drag him to other countries for anniversary trips photoshoots! I'd recommend Jeff in a heartbeat to any couple!

This post is delinquent by a couple months, but we wanted to share our memorable experience utilizing Lisa Richmond Photography. I saw Lisa Richmond's art for the first time in the fall of 2014. Lisa photographed our dear friend's wedding in Winters, CA. So, when Linda and I became engaged in 2015, we knew immediately who we wanted to record our engagement and wedding day on 9/23/16. Luckily, Lisa was available!Prior to meeting Lisa for our engagement photos, we had chatted on the phone a couple times so Lisa could get an idea about Linda and my love story. She was very easy to talk with and we had several good laughs before meeting in person. I told Lisa that neither Linda or I cared to have our pictures taken so I wished her luck with that! Lisa knew we planned on getting married at a winery and she suggested we bring a bottle of wine to open during our engagement shoot. After sharing some wine and stories together, she started working her magic. Lisa made the shoot fun and effortless so the pictures looked natural. Her use of light and her timing are phenomenal. She caught our relationship and personalities digitally!Finally, our long-awaited day came! When Lisa arrived at our wedding, we greeted her as a friend and not just a photographer, since a friendship formed between all of us. Lisa captured every moment of our special day and more. She roamed the vineyards with us to obtain the perfect sunset moments, and she was knocked around on the dance floor like a pinball by some guests getting their groove on...just so she could seize our moments! We were delighted by Lisa's artistic eye, professionalism, and her great personality. We will definitely utilize her for future gatherings as well as share a glass of wine when possible! We highly recommend Lisa if you want to beautifully capture your special occasion.

Captured Cupid is based out of Sacramento, California servicing clients from around the world. Primarily started as a wedding cinematography studio that specializes in storytelling style filmmaking. We love the challenge of producing such high-quality work for each individual because the emotional response is extremely rewarding for both our clients and our team. We would love to make introductions and chat with you about your wedding or special event.

Kevin was the best investment we made for our wedding. He went above and beyond for us. He stayed late at our wedding and gave us expert tips and tricks during our wedding to create a smoother event. The biggest problem I experienced during my wedding (and I assume most other do as well) was stress. Everything was flying at me and my then fiancé and the last person I expected to help comfort me and my wife and put our minds at ease was our videographer Kevin. He handled things with such ease and calmness. It honestly felt like he was the captain that kept out ship afloat. He’s more than a videographer. He helped organize and coordinate family/games/events during our wedding and truly did more than we could have ever asked for. Not to mention he even took incredible photos for us and had a entire edited album created for us the very next day. He displays the incredible professionalism and true care for his clients. I recommend his work to everyone and anyone. He is the best investment you could make for your most important day. My wife and I can’t thank him enough for what he did for us.

Rondone Photography is a heartfelt, full-service studio led by Valerie Rondone, a Northern California wedding and portrait photographer known for her warm, natural, and story-driven style. With a background as a radiographer and a full-time mother, Valerie brings a unique blend of compassion, professionalism, and artistic intuition to every session. She specializes in capturing authentic moments that reflect genuine connection, whether documenting a wedding day, celebrating new life with maternity or newborn portraits, or creating meaningful family images that will be cherished for years.

Valerie Rondone photographed my son's wedding and is a dream to work with. I love that she made the opportunity to do an engagement shoot before the wedding, so she could get to know the couple first. The day of the wedding, on location in San Francisco, ran like clockwork because she is so organized. I recommended her to my best friend for her daughter's wedding in Santa Cruz and Valerie's photos tell a beautiful story of the day. They were amazing! She is easy to work with, comes with tons of ideas, listens to exactly what you want, and delivers beautifully. She captured so many wonderful shots that I didn't even know I wanted. Rondone Photography offers many options to choose from: engagement photos, digital images, prints and enlargement, and gorgeous wedding albums. She will capture the beauty of your special day.

If you’ve landed here, my guess is you want the perfect balance. Someone who will give you direction during your couple’s portraits, while avoiding making you feel like you’re on the MET gala red carpet during your ceremony. I’m here to help you feel at ease, to make jokes, to reassure you everything and nothing matters all in the same breath. I take years of stealthy concert photography skills and apply that to documenting the candid familial embrace. The wild shirtless last dance of the evening. The moment when you two look at each other after all the speeches are done, and you realize how wonderful it is to be showered with so much love.

Jess was an absolute dream to work with. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which honestly made such a difference on a day that can be a little overwhelming. Her eye for capturing the real, beautiful moments—both big and small—is just incredible. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the whole day in the best way. She’s warm, grounded, and so talented. I can’t recommend her enough.

I am really interested in other people. I like to find out about you. I believe we all have value, and everybody deserves to be happy. Sour Pusses are quite the bummer, and seriousness is overrated. I really believe there should be very little reason for people to not get along. EVERYONE is welcome. I LOVE nostalgia, and having my work appreciated enough to be on your walls is the best feeling. I roast my own coffee, I am a friek for Legos, old black and white movies, the ocean, the forest, the jungle, and chatting with people.

It was serendipitous that I came across Daniel's instagram randomly in the early stages of wedding planning, and the most recent photos happened to be from the venue we'd chosen so it was clear he knew the venue and that his pictures were magical. Our wedding planners were thrilled that we had found him as they have all worked together and have a great working relationship. Daniel is exuberant and brings such authentic enthusiasm to his work. He was super helpful in the day of planning, and on the day managed our timeline with great efficiency and professionalism. All of our guests were highly impressed at his commitment to getting every shot both posed and candid of us, our families, and portraits of our guests. My husband's most important moment to capture was sunset and our sunset photos are beyond stunning. We had a really positive experience working with Daniel as a person and photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture a wedding or any special event.

I have been a wedding photographer for over a decade. I've shot hundreds of love stories, so I know the way to capture your day inside and out. I'll be there for you every step of the way to make sure everything goes smoothly so that these memories we make are cherished forever. I have called Nevada County my home for the past 10 years, I live a life full of adventure in search of waterfalls and stunning landscapes. Photography is more than just an art form. For me, it' s a spirit of self- discovery and connection that fuels my life in many ways. I find true passion by photographing people in love, expansive views, dips in the Yuba River.

We found Alyssa in 2018 when we were planing our wedding and the moment I saw her photography I knew I had to have her capture our union of love and our engagement photos. She made us feel so confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Her energy is infectious. 6 years later we still use her for every photoshoot we do- 2 pregnancy shoots, family shoots, interior design shoots. She is our go to for every life event and has become a friend. She knows exactly how to direct you in a way that is so sweet and that makes you feel so at ease. Every photo she’s taken is stunning. Cannot recommend working with her enough!
