Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

I have photographed many different niches, many events, many families, many milestones and my *ROCK* will always be love. Love is the foundation of every milestone thereafter and there is just something about it that I can’t get enough of! Every love is unique and it is truly a passion of mine to authentically capture it in whatever way is unique to each story.

Where do I even start? Nicole has been capturing my family’s moments from day one. While I didn’t use her for my wedding (and I wish I had), she’s been there for every other milestone since. We’ve done maternity photos, Mother’s Day photos, family shoots, Christmas photos, as well as marketing photos. Nichole has a photography style that leans towards documentary. While she is great at capturing posed photos, the real magic comes when you aren’t even expecting it. Nichole‘s photography style allows you to be present in the moment with your family or friends or whoever you’re with while she’s behind the scenes documenting it all. When it comes to turnaround time, I’ve never had to wait long. Nichole is also very good at communicating, she will never leave you on read. And if weather or some other obstacle arises, she’s very proactive when it comes to finding a solution. I cannot say enough good things about Nicole. The only negative thing for me is that she no longer lives in New Jersey. California you are so lucky to have her.

Hey y'all, I'm Meagan! This is typically the section where I should hype myself up, but instead, I’m going to actually tell you about me! I am a Northern California couples, elopement, and wedding photographer who encourages all my clients to include their dogs! Wondering where Lou Grace comes from? My business name is a tribute to my late grandfather, my guardian angel, and greatest supporter. I drink iced coffee year-round and I prefer Dutch Bros over Starbucks. I love country music but listen to just about everything and love a good song recommendation. Also, I’m obsessed with my dogs! Let me know if we have anything in common :)

Meagan was as easy and comfortable to work with as a best friend on my wedding day. She checked in with me throughout the day, gave me clear cues to look good and kept the whole experience with photos so lighthearted and fun. She pulled me away for photos at the perfect times so that I was actually able to enjoy my entire wedding day without feeling like it was one big photoshoot. I even got all my photos done in time to enjoy almost my entire cocktail hour! The photos she sent literally the next morning made my friends cry they were so beautiful. The work speaks for itself!!!

Hi! I'm Amanda. I never need an excuse to road trip or dance like no one is watching and my soul would probably shrivel up and die without music and high five moments. Finding kindred spirits is the best medicine and I will stop at nothing to savor a fleeting moment. Helping you look and FEEL amazing is literally the best part of what I get to do! I thrive on making your photos a completely comfortable, fun and utterly painless process! I absolutely LIVE for this.

We worked with Amanda/Oh Lovely Wedding for our Coronado based wedding this summer and it was one of the best investments we made for the entire event. Leading up to the big weekend, Amanda was so easy to get in touch with and communicate our vision and needs for the day. My fiancé a few months back was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy and Amanda was so great to work with his best angles to minimize any major signals that something may be off. She was kind, professional, and took absolutely killer photos. Which brings me to my next point, Amanda’s work is next level. The photos she produced came out even better than I hoped. Our tones and lighting in every photo was so perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the results. We’ve gotten loads of compliments from our guests who love their photos and enjoyed Amanda’s engagement at the wedding. I would absolutely recommend Amanda and Oh Lovely Wedding, and I know we’ll be using her in the future! Thank you Amanda!

This is for you, couples who have too many moments to be present for. You’ll have photographs that show the heart and soul of the day without having to stage or fake things for the camera. I'll make images that help you remember what happened, who was there, what it looked like, and what it felt like.

Awarded Best of Zola
It's easy to look through Annie's photos to see how amazing they are -- I loved her style from the moment I saw her galleries and I was hopeful that our photos would look just as great. Guess what, they are amazing!! She also delivered ALL of our photos in 4 weeks, when she herself got married 2 weeks after us! Maybe the most important piece of guidance that she gave us was to take as many family photos before the event as possible. That way you can focus on the fun once it starts. And let me tell you -- that was good advice. I didn't want to spend a second on more staged photos once the party had started! We actually got to attend part of our cocktail hour because of this. Of course every event is different, but my point is that she will be able to guide you in the right direction because she has a ton of experience. I loved working with her and you will too! Also I didn't even include the best shots because I want to keep our faces off the internet, but look at the range just in these photos! So fun.

Courtland was my dream photographer but with him being in California and we were in Colorado I didn't think I'd be able to afford him. But after no luck with local photographers I called Courtland and that was the best decision. Courtland was available every step of the way. From our first zoom call to him arriving in Colorado for our big day. He reached out throughout the planning process keeping things on a great timeline to getting certain aspects complete. He took the time to get to know us as a couple in great detail and asked questions no other photographer had asked. Our pictures turned out Amazing and we got so many compliments and people were amazed with the final product. Courtland helped ease my mind on the big day he showed up and was checking in with me he even got me food and drinks while I was in make up. Courtland captured us as a couple as well as our family and friends. He captured every emotion down to the tears of joy on our secret dance.

She is a great communicator and just lovely to be around. She made posing for photos feel easy and natural. We went with both digital and film and are super happy with how both styles turned out. The quick turnaround for sneak peeks was also a huge plus. We can't recommend her enough!

I have been photographing couples for nearly 13 years and have loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed following them through engagement, wedding, maternity and now family sessions. I have even become life long friends with some of them. I am a mother of 3 and have always loved art, and once I picked up my camera and found a way to tell others love stories, I knew I found what I was supposed to do.

Valley Images Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with! As planners, we work with many photographers and Michelle is one of our favorites. Their communication style is quick, personal, caring, and professional. The quality of their work is truly beautiful, artistic, and unique. They took the time to scope out hidden gem spaces at the venues and listened closely to the couple to capture the day perfectly. An absolute joy to collaborate with!

Hi, I’m Natalya! I started Captured Memories officially in 2023 but have been doing photography for over 5 years now. I started with family sessions and more business minded sessions rather than weddings but after doing my first wedding for a friend I was hooked! Being able to help capture your special day, all of the memories from it and celebrate with you such an amazing milestone is my absolute pleasure. I love being your hype vendor and friend on your day as well as assistant. So let me know how I can help you!

We absolutely loved having Natasha as our photographer. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable, seen, and truly cared for. She captured not just photos, but the emotions, the quiet moments, and the joy we felt with our family and friends. Every image tells a story, and looking through our gallery brings us right back to that day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or more beautiful memories. Highly recommend! She’s the kind of photographer you hire on your wedding day and want to have her back to capture the rest of lives beautiful moments.

We love PJ, and have loved getting to know him through our wedding planning process. We now consider him a friend! When we initially started interviewing photographers, my now-husband fell in love with PJ's personality and style almost instantly (I wish I could say that is how he fell in love with me....). PJ shoots with natural lighting so beautifully and upon speaking with him over the phone...we knew he was the right fit for us. We first met PJ in person when we did our engagement shoot in September 2019. He instantly made us feel comfortable and at ease. Our photos turned our natural and were beautifully captured. He seamlessly captured our go-with-the-flow and goofy natures, love of donuts, and love of our East Bay neighborhood. Flash forward a few months....and a worldwide pandemic hits. PJ has been such a grounding force during these last few months as we changed our wedding plans again and again. PJ has been nothing but patient and accommodating for us. We finally decided on a micro-wedding in a private residence. Not going to lie, I was nervous that our photos were going to look meh-meh since our "venue" wasn't fancy. When we got our photos back, I was awe-struck. PJ really worked his magic and made everything look like it came out of a fairytale. Post-ceremony, we arranged for a golden hour newlywed shoot. Let me tell you, PJ will do ANYTHING for the shot. We climbed hills, rocks, and got into bushes. PJ is dedicated to his craft. We can't wait for PJ to come back out to shoot our postponed reception and our future family photos. We feel pretty lucky that we found a photographer we truly love and can't wait to continue to work with.

Booking Liz as the photographer for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Liz was really a joy to work with, and the quality of photos is top-notch. We picked her because she's skilled at combining wedding and nature photography (we really wanted the beauty surrounding our wedding venue to shine) as well as capturing candid moments throughout the day. Some things that really stood out for us: • Super-organized: When we were trying to pick a location for our engagement shoot, Liz shared PDFs with photos and pros/cons of places around Lake Tahoe, as well as samples of some photos from past shoots at each place. • Flexible and accommodating: We ultimately needed to reschedule our engagement shoot due to poor weather. Liz had no problem changing the date the day before. When we both realized later that we'd unintentionally rescheduled the shoot for Easter, she graciously still drove up to Tahoe that evening for our sunset photos. • Made us comfortable: During both our engagement shoot and on the wedding day, Liz easily shifted from directing photos when needed to stepping back and getting candid shots of us all. We felt very natural and comfortable throughout. • Speed! Liz was SO FAST at getting us sneak previews of our photos (often within a day or two) and the full set of photos (4-6 weeks). • And of course, photo quality. Adding photos so you can see for yourself! So grateful to have booked Liz!

I wanted photos that would remind us how it felt — not just how it looked. George Street somehow bottled the magic of the day. They noticed the details, the quiet glances, the laughter, the nerves… and turned them into art. Watching my wife see the photos for the first time was one of the best moments — she lit up. That alone made it worth it. I’ll always be glad we hired them. When we’re old and gray, these photos will still tell our story.
