Natalie was amazing!! We are so happy with how our sneak peek pictures turned out and we can’t wait to see more! She was so professional and made sure we stayed on schedule the whole time. We unfortunately had rain before the ceremony & she was resilient and found other areas we could photograph in. She was awesome at giving us direction but also letting us have ideas for poses & what we would like as well. Our favorite part was being able to take pictures in the golf cart we found! Highly recommend Natalie! It also helps she is just so nice & bubbly! Thank you, Natalie! We were so lucky to have you & make our day even more perfect!! Blake & Noah ONeil

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!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

Azaria Chavira Photography

  • Classic style
  • Serves Sonora, CA

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 not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.

From the moment I first connected with Eric, he was responsive, helpful, and always available to answer any questions I had during the planning process.

Hi, I'm Treiva.. The owner and lead photographer of Sugar N Spice Photography located out of Central Ohio. Photography has been my passion since I was 15 years old. I can remember getting my hands on my first camera and knowing this is what I wanted to do forever. For me, I love the feeling I get when I know I captured that special moment for you and your family... knowing it will last forever.

They communicated exceptionally well throughout the entire process, always keeping us informed and addressing any questions or concerns we had. The quality of their work was incredibly professional, and their pricing was very reasonable for the level of service they provided. They went above and beyond on our wedding day - not only did the photographer meet with us beforehand to help plan out our timeline and photography wishes, but she also brought an emergency kit with her that came in handy when a few unexpected issues came up. When some last-minute delays occurred, she helped keep us calm and on track. We were so impressed by her attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile.
