Victoria was absolutely the best photographer we could have ever imagined. We hired her for our wedding and her professionalism and organization went above and beyond. We got the raw photos delivered promptly while we were on our honeymoon which was a delight to look through together on our trip. From there she edited photos that we thought would have been unsalvageable because of how dark they were, and made them some of our favorite photos from the whole day. If you’re looking for high quality photos and a high quality vendor, lightfall imagery is the way to go!

Hi, I am Andy, a wedding and San Francisco City Hall photographer based in the Bay Area. I photograph couples who want their day to feel relaxed and unforced, while still looking polished and elegant in photos. I quietly document the real in between moments and then step in with gentle direction when you need it, so you never feel stiff or posed. From intimate City Hall ceremonies to full day weddings, I help you plan a simple timeline, find beautiful light, and make the most of every location. I personally edit each image with a clean, true to life style so your photos feel timeless and still like you many years from now.

He blended into our day seamlessly, putting everyone at ease and finding those candid, emotional moments we didn’t even know were happening. His calm professionalism kept us relaxed, yet his creativity meant every shot felt fresh and personal - nothing cookie‑cutter here. We received our photos exactly when promised (within 10 days!), beautifully edited and ready to share. Friends and family still rave about how natural the images look, and we love that he surprised us with short highlight video clips as a bonus. If you want someone who truly listens, communicates clearly, and turns your wedding day into timeless art, book Andy - you’ll be so glad you did.

  • Classic style
  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

Whether you hope to celebrate your love on a tranquil shore or under a shower of glittering sparklers, my unique balance of classic portraiture with a modern photojournalistic style will transform those powerful experiences into timeless art. Together, we'll discover serenity in the chaos and genuine beauty in each moment.

We cannot recommend Zha Zha Photography highly enough! From our very first phone call to the final gallery, Zha Zha exceeded every expectation. We chose her after seeing her portfolio-her previous work at our venue perfectly matched the style and composition we envisioned for our own wedding. During our engagement shoot, Zha Zha immediately put us at ease. Neither of us is used to being in front of the camera, but she made the experience fun and relaxed, helping us feel natural and not take ourselves too seriously. The engagement photos turned out beautifully-we loved them so much that we used them in our wedding guest book and at our rehearsal dinner. Throughout the entire process, Zha Zha was warm, friendly, and a fantastic communicator. On our wedding day, she was always present and supportive, even stepping in to help with little things like tying my bow tie! Her eye for lighting and composition is truly impressive, and her attention to detail in both framing and editing made every photo look incredible. She also worked seamlessly with our videographer, ensuring everything went smoothly. One unique and invaluable aspect was that Zha Zha speaks Chinese, which made communicating with our families so much easier and helped everyone feel comfortable and included. This was especially important during our Chinese tea ceremony, where she was able to capture all the important moments and ensure nothing was missed. Her eye for lighting and composition is truly impressive, and her attention to detail in both framing and editing made every photo look incredible. We were surprised to receive a preview gallery of 75 photos just a couple of days after the wedding. It was wonderful to be able to share these beautiful moments with our family and friends so quickly. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely caring photographer, look no further than Zha Zha!

Deanna was truly the most amazing photographer for our wedding! Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos before, and to be honest, we’re both pretty awkward and camera-shy. But from the moment we booked her, she made the whole experience feel effortless. She even offered an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of it, we were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out—far beyond what we had imagined! On the wedding day, Deanna was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and nerves. Her ability to guide us through poses felt so natural—never forced or uncomfortable. She has such an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments, and the photos reflect that in every frame. Deanna didn’t just document our wedding; she became a friend along the way. I can’t express how much we appreciate her talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’re already looking forward to working with her again for future milestones and photo sessions. Thank you, Deanna, for capturing our special day so perfectly—we couldn’t have asked for more!
