A couple’s wedding day is the most important day of their lives. Being able to have amazing photos and videos to look back on is so important in keeping the memory of that day alive and that is exactly what Brett and his crew provided! From the moment my husband and I met Brett, we knew that we had chosen the right person for the job! He is very professional, organized, accommodating and amazing at what he does! He is genuinely just a great and kind person. He prepped us very well for every photography/videography event (engagement photos/wedding day). We were able to get all the shots that we wanted and are super grateful considering the list of family shots we requested!

Jacob was an absolute pleasure to work with for our civil marriage and engagement photography. He was very friendly, informative, easy to communicate with and quick to respond from the moment that we reached out to him to inquire for his photo services. He was very flexible to work with, genuine throughout the entire process and made us feel so comfortable during the photography session although we are not naturals at being photographed. Jacob also had great advice on helping to make our photo session meaningful and memorable beyond just getting the amazing shots that he was able to capture. He was very in-tune with what we wanted to resemble in the photos and asked us all the right questions to truly understand our vision. He made us feel comfortable, had a lot of fun, and the final product came out beautifully. Our friends and family vouched that the photos truly captured our personalities and our relationship. Booking Jacob as our photographer for our civil marriage and engagement photography was one of the greatest joys and brought positive memories in the middle of the pandemic. Although we had to re-plan and navigate our wedding plans, working with Jacob and having these photos forever for our milestone day will be forever cherished. Thank you Jacob!

Hi friends! Spending time with rad people is one of my favorite things to do and getting to spend your special day along side you while capturing your love story...even better!! I lean more into micro-weddings and elopements as I love the intimate experience but am open to whatever you have planned! I'm just along for the ride:)

I am privileged to be close friends with Jenna and feel so lucky to have been able to work with such a talented friend. She did engagement and wedding photos for us. Jenna even got me to do a boudoir shoot the night before the wedding, which I would NOT have done with anyone else. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and the mood she evokes in her photos say more than words ever could. Jenna is one of the best people I know and having her by my side on the day of my wedding was paramount in calming my anxiety and making sure the day went smoothly. You will not find a more caring and professional person to work with.

I’ve been a Santa Barbara wedding photographer for 14 years, drawn to effortless, artful documentation from the very beginning. With a background in visual merchandising, marketing studies in Paris, and valuable business experience in the corporate world, I eventually returned to photography—always my first love after taking a film photography course in high school—and never looked back. More than a decade in, my love for weddings remains as strong as ever. My empathetic nature and holistic approach help create a warm, relaxed experience for every couple I work with.

Working with Emily was a dream come true! My wife and I hired her for our wedding and she ended up doing our engagement photos and the photos of our newborn baby. I don’t love photos being taken of me but she made me feel so comfortable and at home. She is so easy to work with and her photos are amazing! We are so excited to continue to work with her as our family grows.

At The Photography Friend, we specialize in wedding photography that feels as natural and genuine as your love story. Our approach is centered on capturing real emotions and candid moments, ensuring that every laugh, tear, and tender glance is preserved authentically. We believe in creating a relaxed environment where you can be yourselves, allowing us to document your day as it naturally unfolds.

I was nervous about spending money on wedding photos and video because everything else already felt so expensive. But let me tell you, this was worth every single second and every penny. When I saw the finished photos, I gasped. It didn’t feel staged or forced, it just felt like us. They captured every laugh, every tear, even the little side glances we gave each other when no one was looking. The video made me feel like I was watching the best movie of my life, except it was my life. My family cried, my friends cheered, and even my grandma who doesn’t like technology said it was beautiful. That meant everything to me. They didn’t just take pictures, they gave us something we can hold onto forever. I’ll never stop being thankful for that.

Love Knot Photography

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA. With over a decade of experience and features in Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

She is so easy going, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and took the absolute best photos. Seriously- she exceeded our expectations and I am in LOVE with our photos.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m so glad we hired Danny as our wedding photographer! We had the special opportunity to work with Danny and his wife as our second shooter, who are both the most down to earth people ever. Communication with him was always on point, he let us know exactly what to expect and made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera on our actual wedding day which was huge because I always tend to be awkward in front of one. When we received our photos back our jaws were on the floor. They were able to capture exactly what we were looking for, photos that were timeless and elegant while also capturing the perfect candids that just made our photos even more special. We asked Danny beforehand that he not only capture us but all of our amazing friends and family who were with us on our day and he absolutely delivered. Looking through our gallery made us feel like we were reliving our wedding all over again, from the laughs, to the tears, and more. We will truly cherish these pictures forever!

When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks.

From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

Carly and Elliot from A Nomadic Love are truly one of a kind. They photographed one of our best friend’s weddings in 2019, another in 2023, and then ours in 2025, and we honestly couldn’t fathom having anyone else capture these moments. Their photos are truly unmatched. A Nomadic Love was the very first vendor I booked, long before I knew anything else about our wedding, because they were my one and only non-negotiable! Their style and editing speak for themselves, but what makes them even more special is who they are as people. They are so much fun to be around, they instantly make you feel comfortable, and seamlessly guiding you through each shot. They make everything so much fun, that you don't even really notice you are being photographed. Every experience I’ve had with them has been exceptional. Our wedding photos are beyond what we could have imagined, and we are still trying to narrow down which ones to print because every single one is that good. We’ve gotten endless compliments from family, friends, and are so happy with how our special day was documented through photo. Carly and Elliot are unlike any other, and we could not recommend them more
