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 :)

Your wedding day is filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I’m here to capture them in a way that feels natural, effortless, and truly you. With a calm presence and an eye for storytelling, I focus on the real, unscripted moments—the quiet hand squeezes, the deep belly laughs, the happy tears—so you can relive them for years to come. My approach is simple: Be a steady, supportive presence, document your day with care, and make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you're camera-shy or love being in the spotlight, I'll guide when needed and step back when the magic happens naturally.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a fellow professional in the wedding photo industry, Eli is the only person I trusted to take my wedding photos. He is kind, trustworthy, and a true artist that treats every wedding like it's worth photographing. There are too many people in this industry who will treat your wedding like just another job, Eli is NOT one of those people. Booking with Eli is something we will be happy we did for the rest of our lives, the photos are a part of our home, and bring a smile each and every time we look at them.

We are Dustin and Courtney, best friends and photographers. Before we shot weddings together we were a bride and groom. Yep, dated and married in less than a year! We just knew we wanted to do life together. As time has gone by we learned much more important things about each other. For example, Dustin’s heart can easily be won over with a hot cup of coffee, surfing, chasing our kids and any action movie. Courtney's perfect day includes drinking a chai latte, going for a hike with the family and shopping.

Dustin and his team were truly a delight to work with for my wedding! He is so kind, creative, attentive, profressional, positive, energetic and makes you feel at ease during your event. My husband does not like to take photos and he had nothing but great things to say about Dustin. And the pictures of course were amazing! Do not hesitate to book Dustin for your next event, you won't regret it!

Adam Kent Photography

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adam Kent Photography is the epitome of professionalism and creativity. Adam’s 20 years of capturing weddings speaks volumes. Before our big day he worked with us and provided amazing insights that helped us shape our day of schedule so that we could capture all the photos we wanted and make time for us to enjoy our celebration. He also did a portrait session with us prior to the wedding to provide posing instructions and get us comfortable on camera. On the day of our wedding Adam truly shined. His experience came through in every situation, from preparing us for our first look, getting our toddler guests to smile, organizing large group shots and spontaneously crafting intimate portraits throughout the evening. He always had a sense of calm, humor and cheerfulness that made what could be a stress-filled day fun and lively. When we received our wedding photos, we were stunned with how many amazing moments he had captured. Our guests also could not stop telling us how much they liked our photographer. In life you run into special people, and Adam is one of those. If you need a photographer for your wedding or any event, I strongly recommend you consider hiring Adam.

My husband and I couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience with Brittney! From the moment I met her, I immediately knew I wanted her to be our photographer. At a wedding showcase with 30 other photographers, she was the only one I felt comfortable with. She felt like a friend from the start. Before the wedding, Brittney was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and helping us plan all the perfect shots and details. She knew what to ask and was so patient with us throughout the entire planning process. One of the standout moments from the wedding was when our 1-year-old daughter, who was the flower girl, had a full-on meltdown. Despite the chaos, Brittney was incredibly patient and worked some kind of magic to capture the most gorgeous and creative photos with our screaming toddler! I truly dont know how she did it but we got great shots of everyone. She was even patient with our dog who had to take frequent breaks from the heat! The pictures turned out amazing, and we are so grateful for her patience, her creativity, and her ability to capture the true essence of the day—even the most challenging moments. We had a very small outside ceremony in Long Beach with only our immediate families. Brittney felt like an extension of our family being there. I truly felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also calm, professional, and a joy to work with!

We are a husband-and-wife photography team offering a blend of digital, 35mm film, and large-format 4×5 portraiture. Our work combines the artistry of traditional film with the storytelling of modern digital photography. Jake specializes in handcrafted 4×5 and film imagery, while Madison captures the day with an eye for emotion, movement, and connection. Each image is created with intention, allowing us to preserve your story in a way that feels both timeless and true.

I have used Jake and Madison with Timestopped Productions multiple times now. They are absolutely amazing at taking your vision and turning it into real life images. Me and my husband have no clue how to pose or be in front of the camera. They are great at making you feel so comfortable and positioning you for the perfect shot. I am in an artistic career field so I deeply appreciate their attention to every little detail. In the past when I’ve used other photographers I have only liked a couple photos out of the entire bunch. With Timestopped productions it’s hard to choose which ones to print, post, send to family because we love every single photo taken. They truly are so talented, efficient, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them!

Hello! I’m Laura Ford, a Midwestern native who has fully adopted sunny Southern California as home. I’ve been living and working in Los Angeles & Santa Barbara since 2013, and have happily kissed winter boots and car ice scrapers goodbye forever!  As far as aesthetic goes, my photos are bright, cheerful and thoughtfully framed.

My approach for portraits can be described as editorial, and my goal is to artfully capture the essence of you!

Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were attentive, willing to get on the phone with us, and on top of any changes we needed to make. They explored our venue ahead of time to find the best photo spots, guided us through the entire process, and delivered our photos with a super quick turnaround. Laura and her team really took the time to get to know my husband and I, which made the whole experience feel so personal. They were also incredibly flexible and willing to work with all the dynamics of my family.

Hi, I'm Lu. Weddings are more than just events — they’re a collection of fleeting, beautiful moments that deserve to be remembered just as they felt. From the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the joy on the dance floor, my goal is to capture the raw emotion, the small in-between glances, and all the laughter and happy tears that make your day uniquely yours. Every couple’s journey is different, and it’s a privilege to be trusted with telling yours. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I’m here to ensure your wedding gallery feels as real and unforgettable as the day itself.

Lauren is a dream. Not only does she know exactly what angles that make you feel most beautiful but she puts you in such a comfortable setting that you feel safe with her and so confident. I’ve worked with Lauren four times and it has always been a pleasure. She has an eye for amazing photos and I love every image that she has captured of me. Do not hesitate on booking with Lauren as she is a true professional who will capture your dreams! I adore you, Lauren, thank you for everything!

My favorite part about what I do is working with all of the great couples I get to meet. I love getting to know my clients and discovering what is most important to them about their wedding day. Each and every wedding is different and each deserves a unique approach to capture thoughtfully. It is exciting that I get to see into so many different little worlds every day. My motto is to do everything in love, and I feel like that is reflected in my work and attention to detail. Also, its great getting to be around happy people all day!

On your wedding day things go by so quickly and it can be difficult to think back on specific moments or individual details. So, I can't overstress the importance of getting great photos that capture things as they were, rather than just an exciting blur of color and familiar happy faces that your memory will likely be left with. Keeping that in mind, the photographer you choose and trust with such an integral part of your wedding day has to be someone you have full confidence in and, wholeheartedly, I can say that Kiernan meets and exceeds all the expectations of what makes an incredible wedding photographer. She was able to make my (now) husband and I feel relaxed, while also offering VERY helpful and necessary directions of how to pose (down to the way to tilt our head, where to look, where our hands should be, etc) and that was so appreciated! It made me feel so much more confident to know that if something needed to be changed or corrected in order to get the best photo possible, she would notice it and then she’d let us know what we need to do to get that shot. Then, after the wedding, when my husband and I received our sneak peek photos, (which were sent so quickly that we got them while we were still in our post-wedding hotel suite) and we were blown away by how beautiful they turned out. There were so many amazing shots that I loved, I couldn’t pick a favorite... I had at least 10-15 top favorites. To wrap it up, Kiernan is an insanely talented photographer, a true professional and just an overall sweet, lovely person. If you are getting married soon and are looking for a photographer that will be able to deliver photos you will cherish forever AND who will make you feel comfortable and confident while the photos are being taken... I highly recommend Kiernan Michelle Photography, as I sincerely believe she is the best you will find... I know she was for me!

  • Serves Ventura, CA

With over fourteen years of Art, Design and Photography experience, I pride myself in treating Photography as not just a profession, but a passion. To me photography is a way of life, an addiction and a creative outlet. I consider myself to be an artist and photography is my chosen medium. I am a wife and mother of 2 very busy teenagers. I am also a world traveler and scuba diver, who loves animals, being in nature and finding the beauty in the little things.

If you’re looking for a sign to hire Jesi as your wedding photographer, this is it. She is that good. From the very beginning of wedding planning to the final gallery delivery, Jesi was nothing short of incredible. Her work is everything I dreamed of moody, timeless, dramatic, and beautifully editorial. The photos we received are absolutely insanely stunning and truly everything I had envisioned. I still can’t stop looking at them! Jesi did more than just show up and take pictures. She became a mini wedding planner, a guide, and honestly a friend throughout the entire process. She checked in on me via FaceTime, shared advice and vendor recommendations, sent helpful links (everything from vintage rental cars to groom accessories), and provided super helpful wedding and rehearsal checklists. She also sent over a detailed questionnaire to make sure she fully understood our vision, shot list, and timeline. Her thoughtfulness and experience took so much stress off my plate. On the wedding day, Jesi exceeded every expectation. She arrived extra early (which any bride knows is a MAJOR relief) and once it was time for photos, she made us feel confident and comfortable. My husband and I are not natural posers, but she guided us with ease hyping us up, giving clear direction, and reminding us how amazing everything looked. She even showed us sneak peeks throughout the day, which was so fun and reassuring. The morning of the wedding she also sent a sweet message that instantly calmed my nerves. It was such a small gesture but meant the world to me. And the best part? The sneak peek gallery she delivered afterward wasn’t just a handful of photos, it was a huge selection, and every single shot was gorgeous. I don’t know how she does it, but she gets so many photos and somehow they’re all incredible. I truly cannot recommend Jesi enough. She is talented, thoughtful, professional, creative, and genuinely invested in her couples. She was everything I wanted in a photographer and so much more. If you’re considering booking her, don’t hesitate, just do it. You’ll be so grateful you did!
