I am a Central Valley-based photographer, but I am always available for travel outside the Central Valley. I focus on portraiture, wedding, and event photography. My mission is to work hard to deliver quality images and give my clients a comfortable, enjoyable experience full of smiles and laughter from the initial contact through the session and even after the final product is delivered.

Jess was so reliable and communicative throughout the entire process from beginning to end. She went above and beyond with the quality (and quantity) of gorgeous photos! Jess and her team made us feel comfortable and were efficient at taking photos during our wedding day. I didn’t want to feel take away from the moment to “pose” and I never was- but I got all the photos I could ever ask for! She captured all the special moments beautifully. I would recommend her work to anyone who wants an easy going photographer and dreamy wedding photos to look back on! We can’t thank you enough Jess!

HI, I’M HILLARIE HUGHES . I am a lifestyle/wedding photographer based out of Merced, CA. I’m 30 years old, a wife and a mother to four beautiful kids. It's safe to say that I'm a VERY busy mama! You can catch me with my kindle when I’m not editing, and being as active as I can be in my children's lives. Never in a million years did I think that people would love my photos as much as they do, but I am so grateful and so blessed! I am learning more and more every session that I have, and have been incredibly lucky to have such awesome clients (turned into forever friends!) that have been with me during this entire journey.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Hillarie was the best decision I could have made for my wedding. I had a wedding at a venue she had never been to, and was a little nervous about her not being familiar with the grounds. My nerves were silly because she absolutely killed it. She over delivers and is the sweetest calm in the chaos. I wish I could relive my wedding day over and over, including having her there. I am so happy I went with her.

Natalie is amazing! I was so thankful to find her relatively last minute before my wedding. She created a very detailed timeline that we used for all of our vendors. Natalie was always quick to respond if I ever had any questions. I was so excited to receive so many photos in our sneak peaks just a few days after the wedding. Natalie and her assistant photographer really captured every moment at my wedding. The turn around time for edits blew me away. I could not recommend her enough! Hopefully soon we will be using her for a family shoot ;)

Hi there! I'm Kelly, and I'm a wedding photographer in Northern California + beyond. I specialize in capturing love, light, and laughter in color. Playful photo sessions mixed with poses that will make you feel like a model make me giddy. I live for the nose crinkle laughter and being there for all my clients' big moments. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm probably trying to find the best chai, hopping in the car for a road trip with my husband and husky, or tackling my every growing stack of books. I'd love to chat with you!

Kelly was a joy to work with for our wedding. Her kindness and attentive nature from beginning to end was wonderful. She listened so well to our vision and captured our day beautifully. She made us both feel so comfortable and relaxed when taking our photos. Kelly delivers such high quality work, making it all look so easy

Jeff Carnie Photography

  • Serves Thornton, CA

Jeff Carnie Photography captures authentic moments through portraits, weddings, real estate, and aerial imagery—serving Northern and Central California with professional, storytelling-driven photography you can trust.

I cannot recommend Jeff Carnie enough! I hired him for a surprise engagement proposal at a restaurant, and the planning process was incredibly smooth. We set it up so that Jeff and his wife were seated right next to us as regular diners, and my fiancee had absolutely no clue until the big moment. Jeff was a joy to work with and very professional. He and his wife coordinated everything perfectly to capture the proposal right at our table. The photos of the moment are really special and exactly what we wanted. On top of that, the turnaround time was amazing; we received our edited photos just two days later. If you are looking for a photographer who is easy to plan with and delivers high quality images, you should definitely hire Jeff.

Hey y’all! I’m Theresa, I’ve always had a passion for photography (mainly cause of my children! ). But then I was asked to capture my first wedding and that was it. A new love and a new found passion for capturing such a special day, a moment in time frozen in images for your years to come and generations to see.

She was absolutely incredible from the moment I booked her to the very end of our wedding day. Her communication was clear, responsive, and reassuring, and she made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was patient with the kids, kind to our families, and kept everything flowing without making it feel rushed. She even stepped in to lace up my corset when I needed help — truly above and beyond. Her work is stunning, timeless, and beautifully captured, and she managed to catch so many genuine moments we’ll treasure forever. Booking her was one of the best decisions we made, and I cannot recommend her enough.

One of our best wedding planning decisions was hiring Naian Photography for our photos! We worked with the fabulously talented Natalie (noting that Naian Photography is a duo of Natalie and her husband Pedro). From day 1, Natalie was warm, professional, and knowledgeable. Knowing that Natalie would be with us a lot on our big day, we knew we wanted someone who felt like a friend. Natalie absolutely went above and beyond to get to know us, help us craft our photography timeline, and perfect all the details. She was readily available for questions and came to our wedding prepared to capture everything and everyone!

In 2020, I took a leap and left my 9-to-5 job to pursue my passion for photography full-time. Now, as a dedicated wedding and lifestyle photographer, I’m thrilled to capture the special moments that mean the most to you. I take pride in delivering high-quality photos and genuinely enjoy being part of your big day. Based in Aptos, I also serve the surrounding areas of the Monterey Bay region, and I’m always ready to travel wherever your love story takes us!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

From the moment we met Ashley Cynthia Photography, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. Their communication style was fun and enjoyable, with constant banter that put us at ease. Ashley and her crew were fantastic, always making sure we were on top of the timeline and getting the exact photos we wanted. They brought out the best in us in every single shot, capturing all the special moments of our day. From Day 1, Ashley passed our vibe check instantly and was always just a text, email or call away, giddy about our nifty and crazy ideas. Her team was incredibly flexible, and we had an absolute blast working with them. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and videographer to document our wedding - they truly made the experience unforgettable.

Hi! I'm Heather, the photographer behind Heather Lee Photographs. I've always had a passion for the art of photography… learning, appreciating, and shooting all that I can. I enjoy capturing the special moments in life, helping people remember the past, and allowing them to keep those memories alive.

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Heather for our wedding last summer and we could not have been happier! She was extremely communicative, professional, and just an overall wonderful person to work with. And our photos turned out better than we could have imagined! She got so many beautiful shots. I really love candid shots, which we talked about beforehand, and she got so many good ones both of the ceremony and reception. She also had great suggestions for poses for the more formal photos which was great because we are not great at posing ourselves haha. Heather also pulled us aside when the sun was setting and had a couple cool spots picked out to take a couple more photos which was great. She was prompt with the photos and did a great job editing. We loved having the photos on a website we could easily share with our families and friends. I can’t say enough great things! Definitely book her if you’re looking for a photographer for your wedding, engagement, or any other important event in your life.

We cannot thank Joyce enough for the incredible job she did capturing our wedding day on December 4, 2024. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in good hands. Her professionalism, creativity, and warm personality made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Our day began with a beautiful photo session at San Francisco City Hall, followed by our ceremony at The Palace of Fine Arts. Joyce’s ability to capture the essence of each location and the emotions of the day was truly remarkable. She has an incredible eye for detail and a talent for making even the most candid moments look like works of art. The photos she delivered are absolutely stunning. Each image tells a story and brings back the joy and love we felt on that special day. We are so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully. Joyce was not only a fantastic photographer but also a calming presence throughout the day. She made us feel comfortable and confident, which really shows in the photos. Her dedication to her craft and her clients is evident in every shot. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will go above and beyond to capture your special day, look no further than Joyce Li. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for timeless, heartfelt photography. Thank you, Joyce, for giving us memories we will cherish forever! We will definitely work together again in the future! Liza & Ramon

We are beyond grateful to have had Memo as our photographer! From the very first shot he took, Memo brought an artistry and creativity that transformed each photo into a masterpiece. His eye for detail and his unique ability to convey emotion through his lens made every picture feel not only beautiful but deeply personal to us. Working with Memo was a true joy. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, he made us feel seen, understood, and celebrated. His patience and professionalism shine through every interaction, and his self-made success story reflects his deep dedication to his craft. Memo’s creative vision and talent exceed expectations—he knows how to compose shots that are both stunning and meaningful, and we now have an entire collection of images that perfectly tell our story. Memo’s work is a blend of heart, artistic skill, and exceptional professionalism. If you haven’t already booked him for your next event or session, you’re missing out on one of the most passionate photographers out there.
