Saying I could not do it without Jenny is an understatement! My husband and I had a destination wedding, planning our beautiful vineyard day all the way from Philadelphia! There is no way I could have had such a successful wedding day and weekend without Jenny and Whiskey Feather Events! As someone not in the area, if I ever needed a recommendation for a vendor, Jenny had at least five! If I needed another view or picture of the venue, Jenny was willing to drive to the venue to do another quick site walk through! If I felt like I was missing something or didn’t think of something, Jenny would go through an endless checklist with me, give suggestions as needed, and reassure me that I had thought of everything and was well prepared! On the actual day, all of our vendors were extremely prepared and knew to go to Jenny and Chris for anything. Jenny and Chris ran everything so smoothly and ahead of schedule for the day which allowed my husband and I to enjoy the day, focus on each other and our guests, and never allowed us to worry about anything during our pre-wedding and wedding events. I cannot recommend Whiskey Feather Events enough! There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Jenny and her assistant Chris are leading up to the day and on the actual day itself!

Tammy Horton Photography

Welcome. I’m a southern girl, born and raised. Years ago, I drove to CA for the first time on a whim and well, I just never left. I love to travel, explore, and meet new people. My tiny dog, Gravy, is usually by my side. If there's fun to be had or a laugh to be shared, I'm in! And if you call me last minute to join you on a crazy adventure, I will say yes. Most definitely yes.

Tammy captured our wedding day and engagement photos perfectly. As a couple who isn't always comfortable in front of cameras, she helped us warm up, feel totally ourselves, and captured moments of our personality, emotions, and all of the moments we cherished (and even those we didn't get to see ourselves) on our wedding day. Tammy is incredibly kind, helpful, and a joyous presence when she is shooting. She is one of those people who can make anyone feel at ease and confident, and leans into the joy of your wedding day- you can tell that she loves the energy and excitement of what she does. Furthermore, the photos came out AMAZING. The lighting, framing, candid and staged shots are beautiful. All of our photos came out very authentic to us, felt unposed (even when they were a little bit!), and natural. She went above and beyond helping us with timing, a shot list, and other things we should consider about our day and flow. I would 100% recommend working with Tammy --she was the best vendor we worked with!

I know you’re sitting there looking through a list of photographers & wondering which one should I choose?! I know how you feel! You’re trying to see which one will capture the most beautiful photos, which one will best fit your personality, will they be able to capture those candid memories, & of course, will they fit in my budget?

Holly at Holly D is truly amazing. She captured both my engagement and wedding photos, and to this day they still feel magical. Every time I look at them, I experience something new, even moments I didn’t notice before. She was easy to work with, friendly, and really listened to what I wanted. After my engagement session, I knew I had to book her for my wedding. She’s just an all around incredible photographer. Hands down, one of the best I’ve ever been photographed by. I highly recommend booking her. You won’t just get photos, you’ll get memories you’ll relive forever

Enea and Hailey were fantastic to work with!! I was extremely happy with how our engagement photos turned out. On our wedding day, they were prompt and ready to go. Hailey remembered all the specific shots that I wanted to get and was flexible with timing and getting extra shots that the family requested. The pictures are absolutely stunning. The video was just as incredible. The shots they got, the audio, the music, was all edited so beautifully. I have received so many compliments on how amazing the video and pictures turned out. They captured every aspect of our day that I hoped for and then some. I would recommend them to everyone :)

From the first email inquiring about her services, I knew Calea was going to be wonderful to work with! She had a very quick response time and worked with me to figure out the best package for our special day. Leading up to the wedding, Calea was readily available to answer any questions I had and even helped me with a timeline for the day. On the day of our wedding, Calea drove to a neighboring county from our venue for us to be able to get some first look and family photos done before the ceremony. I was worried about what types of poses we'd do but this worry quickly went away as Calea makes you feel completely comfortable and fully guided us through all the photos, making it an enjoyable experience rather than a stressful or uncomfortable one. She captured every single detail beautifully. Venue, decor, detail shots, vendors, cake & dessert, various views during the ceremony, guests, dancing, special moments, etc. She stayed beyond the agreed upon contract time just for us to be able to get the perfect sunset shots in the vineyard. This really showed her dedication to her work and to her clients. I love the sneak peek photos she sends and the turn around time for all the entire album was very quick and they sure did NOT disappoint. I was overwhelmed with how beautiful all the photos came out. She is truly talented and it shows in her work. My husband and I are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Calea and love looking back on our special day that she captured so perfectly! Thank you Calea!!

Not only is Precise Blend (James) one of the kindest people I've had the pleasure of working with, he is also very creative, responsive, professional and flexible when making your event come to life through music. He took time to really get to know us and it was important to him that we were happy and not stressed for our big day. He DJ'd our Sonoma Valley wedding and it was such a magical evening. His photo booth, music and lights really brought the venue to life and guests had a great time dancing. I love that his equipment is sleek, not bulky and doesn't stand out in photos. The app he works through is user friendly and I love that we were able to invite different collaborators to add songs to the dancing playlist. His team truly did a quality job on making the night memorable and I'm so glad we chose them as our music vendor! There is not enough good things I can write about Precise Blend and James. We had a few zoom meetings set up for DJ's and he was our first zoom call. We knew from the moment we talked to him that he was perfect for us and our wedding. We booked him last minute (probably 2 months in advance) and he was so accommodating. If we needed anything, he was a quick text away. He has a wonderful app to pick all your music and organize it from the processional, to the cocktail hour music, etc. I sent him a few songs that I wanted to surprise my now husband with to walk down the aisle and he put them together for me and made it perfect for us. Another great aspect was that our photographers Photo Booth broke from another wedding so we reached out to James and he made sure that we had a Photo Booth. It was amazing and the pictures from our family and friends are so fun! James has a wonderful team and made our night amazing and fun! We consider him family now. I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you forever James. We cant thank you enough! You are truly one of a kind and made our wedding amazing and so much fun! Sincerely, The Farleys

I absolutely loved my experience with Nataly! Prior to booking she was responsive and had reasonable pricing, and when it came to the day off she arrived right on time. I had sent her a few inspiration pictures of how I wanted my hair and makeup and she completely nailed it! I absolutely loved my look and felt so beautiful and confident.

Devotion Studio did an amazing job with my bridal hair and makeup and my bridesmaids’ makeup! Their communication throughout the process (initial inquiry, booking, HMU preview, adding services close to the wedding, and of course the wedding day!) was exceptional. They were quick to respond, clear, and accommodating. After my HMU preview, they were very open and encouraging of feedback on the look.

Welcome.

Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

Laurie Ann Martin and her team are a fun and professional group to work with. She is detailed oriented and cares not only how the pictures turn out but also your experience. My eyelash came off and I wanted to cry at city hall but she not only made me happy but went to Walgreens to get eye glue lash! That is the type of all hats on board she and her team are. When they had down time before the reception, they even offered to help out non-picture wise wherever they could! She also sends little gifts and surprises but I won’t spoil it. There is one BIG surprise she does at the end but I won’t spoil that either lol. She is fortunately not shy about whether she understands whether things are communicated correctly to her, especially when it comes to the albums - I was quite detailed oriented in what I wanted in my albums and how they were designed _. Her and her teams services are of an immense value and my husband and I had ALOT of fun shooting and videoing with them. Also, the video was really great, really a must.

You don’t have to choose between meaningful portraits and actually spending time with your guests. I photograph weddings for couples who value being present with the people they love, while still making time for portraits together. With thoughtful pacing and smart use of natural light, there’s time for both. My approach blends joyful, editorial-style portraits with candid coverage, guided in a way that feels calm and unobtrusive. Outside of winter weddings, there’s usually more flexibility than couples expect, allowing space for portraits and time to enjoy cocktail hour, dinner, and the moments that matter most.

We found Kristen Campbell Photography on Zola and absolutely fell in love! We reached out to Kristen before we even found a wedding planner or chose a date. From the very first interaction, she exceeded our expectations. During our initial consultation, Kristen made us feel so at peace with the decision to hire her to capture our wedding day. She was incredibly transparent about the details and pricing, and the contract process was simple and stress-free! Every vendor we connected with was SO excited when they found out Kristen was capturing our day, and each of them shared how much they loved working with her. Throughout the planning process, Kristen checked in with us regularly, always professional and genuinely excited for our big day. By the time the wedding week arrived, we couldn’t wait to finally meet her in person. Kristen photographed our welcome party and her warm and friendly personality immediately put us at ease. My husband had never taken professional photos before, but she made him feel so confident and guided both of us with clear, easy instructions. She captured our welcome party beautifully and was so gracious and lovely throughout the evening. After that experience, we were even more excited for the wedding day. On our wedding day, Kristen absolutely blew us away. She was timely, organized, and brought so much joy and positivity to the day. Beforehand, she talked through lighting and timing with us, providing recommendations for the best photo locations and schedule. We trusted her completely and were so glad we did—her instincts were spot on! Wedding photos can take time, but Kristen made the process genuinely FUN. Couples' photos, in particular, were one of our favorite parts of the day because of how relaxed and enjoyable she made it. Family and wedding party photos were equally seamless thanks to Kristen’s thorough preparation and attention to detail—she made sure everything was perfectly organized ahead of time. Our family, friends, and wedding party couldn’t stop raving about Kristen. Her positivity and professionalism left such a lasting impression on everyone. She truly brought so much joy to our day, and we are so incredibly grateful for that. While on our honeymoon, we received our sneak peek photos, and WOW—talk about a highlight of the trip! We couldn’t stop looking through them in our hotel room. Kristen delivered so many sneak peeks, and every single one was absolutely stunning. From couples' portraits to candids, family shots, wedding party photos, and intricate details—each image took our breath away. Kristen captured every moment so beautifully, and we’re thrilled with how perfectly she documented the love and joy of our day. The lighting and style of her photography were flawless, but even more than that, we love how genuine each moment feels in her work. Kristen, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with you, and we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Your work is a priceless gift, and we cannot recommend you highly enough!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Cotati, CA

I’m a wine country native and learned the photographic arts from my family. My early travels and studies in the art & humanities opened my horizons to culture and diversity, plus I'm of mixed ethnicity. I really enjoy photographing weddings, because it has influenced me in a variety of unexpected and good ways. Each wedding has their own uniqueness, personality, and beauty. My life experience in wedding, portrait, & event photography has been a very gratifying and fulfilling journey. I’ve been pro wedding photographer for over 15yrs, and I’m insured.

My husband and I were first introduced to Marc’s work when we toured Vine Hill House and looked through a book of one of his weddings there. We were instantly enthralled by his style and how beautifully he captured the scenery and emotions of the couple’s day. We ended up working with Marc for both our engagement shoot in May 2024 and our wedding this past May, and we could not have been happier with that decision. Marc was very flexible and easy to work with, let our personalities shine, and struck the perfect balance of directing us while also letting us be our authentic selves. His eye for incorporating the surroundings and everything else that goes into perfectly capturing the moment is truly incredible. Both of us hate being the center of attention or having our picture taken, yet he managed to get some unbelievable photos that reflected both our relationship and the magic of the day and scenery around us. It was also really important to us that our vendors be LGBTQ-friendly, especially our photographer who would be working with our wedding party, and all our party members really enjoyed working with him and appreciated his inclusivity. He set a beautiful tone/energy for our day with all our guests and left us with the most stunning photos to reflect back on. Our friends and family are blown away by the final results just as much as we are! For these reasons and many more, we could not be happier with the decision to work with Marc.

I genuinely wish I could put more than 5 stars to accurately describe how I feel about Detailed Dreams!! They are THE BEST! As someone who was very skeptical about hiring a wedding coordinator but knew I needed the help, I can confidently say hiring DD was the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. Kayla is incredibly kind, so so knowledgeable, and flexible; having her on your team is truly like having a superhero. I wholeheartedly believe there is no one better to have on your side! I'm so grateful to Kayla and her team for helping me have my dream day, and I would recommend them to anyone who would listen!!!

If you would have known me growing up, you would have been surprised if I didn’t become a photographer! I fell in love with photography after spending countless hours in the darkroom. Since 2008, I have been working professionally in the photography industry and have shot over 300 weddings and numerous other assignments in almost every genre of photography. Why Weddings? I love problem solving and puzzles, and I’m always up for a good challenge. For me, a wedding is a day full of all of the things that I love. Its basically a whole day of coming up with solutions to make the best photographs for my couples.

Lisa is always a pleasure to work with; a true team player. When working with other wedding professionals at an event, she is aware and respectful of the needs of the other professionals and does her part to ensure that we are all successful. I've seen her photos from a number of the events we've worked at together and they are truly amazing. Lisa is so good at capturing "happiness" -- that exact moment when the smiles are perfect, yet candid. Her photos truly convey the emotion of the moment. I've recommended her many times to clients and friends looking for a photographer.

Melisa and her team set up a mobile bar that made the party go all night long! We had a very unique set up and their flexibility was amazing! The custom drinks reflected my husband and I perfectly! She went above and beyond by providing a guide on how to prepare for the amount of alcohol for our wedding too! This information was super helpful because we had to use a vendor onsite but we had all the information!! Tasty drinks and an amazing time!

In a covid wedding world, Lauren and Jamie showed up for us. From the start, they were eager to get to know us, understand our vision, and do everything they could (above and beyond) to help it come to life. We put together a ceremony on a cliff, sight unseen, but Lauren and Jamie scouted locations for us, talked us through logistics, and were exactly the people we needed with us to make this day happen. They are creative and adventurous, detail-oriented and responsive. Looking back, they were the piece that held everything together from planning to watching it all unfold in front of us. They were discreet during our intimate ceremony and we were able to just be ourselves and enjoy the day. They captured incredible moments and classic portraits that we will cherish forever. Our guests still talk about Lauren hopping on Jamie's shoulders to get an epic group shot on the cliffside. It is more than just earning a paycheck for these two, they are genuinely kind and talented people that you want with you on such a memorable day. Our best wedding decision was hiring Eichar Photography!

Events By Tyler was an amazing choice for our day of coordination for our wedding. Tyler and her assistant were direct, professional, and clear in their communication, which helped us with some important pieces of the planning process, vendor coordination leading up to the wedding (including monitoring the weather and considering rain plans), and helped the rehearsal and day of go seamlessly. They were detailed, thorough, and clearly have done this many times before- we truly couldn't have done it without them. They jumped in at critical points to adjust the timeline and direct the emcee when needed and was on top of everything. Even my usually critical dad commented multiple times on how much he liked Tyler's approach and friendly, but down to business, attitude. Truly professional and made our day run perfectly.

We used Flying Cloud Farm for our October wedding, and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is stunning—offering both beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces surrounded by horses, chickens, and the occasional wildlife visitor, which added such a charming touch. Our coordinator, Julia, made everything feel effortless. She truly knows every detail of what it takes to plan the perfect event and executed everything flawlessly on the big day. The newly expanded bridal suite is gorgeous—spacious, elegant, and ideal for getting ready and capturing those special bridal photos. We also had iffy weather leading up to our wedding, and Julia had a seamless backup plan ready to go just in case. Knowing they were completely prepared for rain gave us such peace of mind, and their flexibility ensured everything would have been just as beautiful no matter what the forecast decided to do. We couldn’t recommend Flying Cloud Farm more highly for any special event. It’s a magical place run by truly wonderful people!

I am an irreverent guy who just so happens to create beautiful-rich-vibrant-uniquely-authentic wedding photography in and around the Bay Area, all over California and anywhere there’s beautiful light.

Awarded Best of Zola
We did a lot of shopping around for our engagement photos, and we decided to go with Russ. When we got the photos back, we knew we would never use another photographer in the bay area again. The photoshoot felt so casual, but the resulting photos looked carefully crafted to perfection. When the circumstances led to us doing a zoom elopement, we jumped at the opportunity to book Russ again. A consistent experience, with some of the most beautiful photos we've ever seen. It's hard to believe they were taken right outside our door. He has a talent for turning just about any location into an incredible work of art. During these crazy times, it's also worth noting that he wore 2 masks and was very respectful of our space to make sure everyone felt safe. 10/10 will book again.

I’m Lyuba, a Northern California wedding planner specializing in thoughtful, well-organized weddings. I work with couples who value a seamless planning process and want their wedding day to feel calm, intentional, and beautifully executed. My approach is rooted in organization, clear communication, and attention to detail. From guiding couples through the planning process to managing timelines, vendors, and logistics, I ensure everything is aligned long before the wedding day so my couples can be fully present and enjoy every moment.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Lyuba from Coordinated by Love for a wedding this past weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful to collaborate with. She was attentive to her couple, handled the day’s dynamics with grace, and stayed calm and friendly through every change and unexpected moment. Her organization and positive energy made the entire day run seamlessly — a true professional who genuinely cares about her clients and their experience. I’d happily work with her again!
