Hey there, I'm Ben! I believe photography is not just about clicking the shutter at the right moment. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotion, the feeling, and the story behind it. My style is all about telling stories of love, laughter, tears, joy, and all the beautiful chaos in between. Just like your wedding day, every photo shoot is a unique, amazing, and important experience. That's why I pour my heart and soul into creating and capturing the special moments that make each photo shoot memorable. I'm not just taking pictures, I'm crafting narratives. We're not just making photos, we're making memories.

We are so happy that we went with Sound Originals! The process was extremely smooth and their online platform was so easy to use and update. Everyone on the team was transparent and helpful. We wanted to add another photographer a month before our wedding and Sound Originals made it happen. After my wedding I was able to change the editing to timeless from emerald after realizing I selected the wrong style. Our photographers were extremely professional and easy to work with and we cannot recommend this company enough!

Stop your search! Hannah is your girl!!! If you're looking for a photographer who delivers stunning, narrative-driven shots while making you feel like a total natural in front of the camera, you found her. From the moment we started, she put me completely at ease. The planning stages were seamless and once I settled on my style, she gave just enough direction to make sure we looked amazing without it feeling stiff or overly posed. After warming up I was feeling like a total model. The final results are screamingggg VOGUE. Timeless, cinematic, moody, refined... I could go on. I felt like I received film stills, not just portraits. So much skill in her art. Not only is Hannah ridiculously talented, she's also a dream to work with-professional, easygoing, and genuinely passionate about capturing photos tailored to who you are. More than anything, I can't wait to look back on these moments frozen in time, year after year. That's priceless. Thanks for giving us everything and more!

Chic-Chic-Weddings. Photo & Video Team was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They were very easy to communicate with over text message, and our initial discovery appointment over Zoom was lovely, which led to a smooth process with 3 payments in the lead-up to the wedding. On the day, the two shooters were great at posing us and giving clear directions - they were fun, very nice, and captured the best day of our lives in the most beautiful and graceful way.

It is such a joy to be around couples celebrating the best day of their lives. Every time I'm behind the camera, I'm reminded of why I love my job. Capturing the special moments and being a part of the celebration is incredibly gratifying and it's always a privilege to help couples remember their wedding day for years to come; I'm so lucky to be able to do what I love every day!

Amelia is such a kind spirit and genuinely cares about the story she captures on any special occasion. The care comes across in all the photos she’s taken. Not only was she an amazing photographer but she went out of her way to help me with things that I never expected someone who I had just met to help me with. (She even helped me put on my wedding dress) Her compassion and professionalism is boundless and my husband and I are so lucky to have had someone like her to documented our most important day together. The photos are so beautiful and I will never stop smiling at them for the rest of my life.

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,650

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

Awarded Best of Zola
We met with a handful of photographers before we settled on Steve. Beyond his ability to capture candid moments of joy, laughter, and celebration, Steve's honesty and transparency made us feel at home with our decision to move forward with his services. He incorporated an engagement shoot into our photography package, and spending that additional time with him prior to our big day helped us feel so much more comfortable with the entire process. After our engagement shoot, Steve was kind enough to grab lunch (dim sum) with us in LA's Chinatown, going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in his presence. Steve is the most laid-back, amicable photographer you could ask for, and it was a privilege to have him capture our wedding. He is a kind soul and fits in splendidly with any crowd. We look forward to using his services for many more milestones in the future.

Nick Cruz Photography, LLC

Costa Mesa, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

Nick is such a fabulous photographer -- he captured every big and little moment of our special day. He put us at ease and made us feel comfortable on a nerve-wreaking and exciting day. The photos are some of my favorite of my entire life. He's amazing!

Karl Verkade Photography 

5.0

Costa Mesa, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,900

A 14-year veteran wedding photographer who has seen it all...and still loves it all. Every moment is unique, and moments are what you really want. Every touch, every moment, every smile, is its own story. I love telling your story from my artistic and unique form of expression, and I make it look good and natural. As if I'm not there, but capturing every second. And not just the poses, but the real, true, authentic moments too. And I promise (grooms, I'm looking at you) to make it fun.

Working with Karl was a dream! He was communicative (we went back and forth on whether we’d want a videographer and he suggested a few things to consider and recommended a colleague for us too), flexible (we kept changing our engagement photo shoot date due to work and he was so accommodating), and cool (I mean he has a satellite phone for his remote shoots, how cool is that!). Such a great mix of encouraging and fun to get us to look natural in the pics. He had a great way of suggesting some poses everyone wants pics of to start, then catch us in between for the most Real shots. Then at the wedding he was perfect at remembering to get all the special ask pictures we knew we wanted, but also all the ones we wouldn’t have thought to ask for. He went way above and beyond on delivering! Karl beautifully captured everything we wanted our wedding to be.. our faith, love, family, friendships, fun… What caught our eye first in scrolling through his website portfolio was how Karl uses the scenery to tell a story with his photography. That meant the world to us because our venue (camp!) was a huge part of our lives and he was able to make this piece of our story so clear through his framing and editing for focus in each picture. Reading the FAQ we were stoked to read Karl say he "would rather have shots of the two of you sharing a moment you can never get back, then a 73rd shot of the candles". We’re not one much for taking pictures, so learning he’d be so intentional about his pictures was encouraging! And, in every single picture we got back, Karl more than delivered on that promise — he caught the twinkle in our eyes, our guests having the time of their lives on the dancefloor, and the spirit of camp, without us even having a thought about picture fatigue. TLDR: 15/10 recommend Karl for any photography! Looking forward to the next time we’ll be able to work together.

Hey there! My name is Katie and I am a part-time photographer and small business owner. My veins are filled with iced coffee and, most of the time, all I want to do is dance. Unlike most, I began my photography career later in life during my college days where I discovered film photography. I spent countless hours in the dark room developing photographs in chemicals and I loved every minute of it. I would describe my photography style as bold and true to color. My favorite part of photography is capturing moments that tell a story so that no matter how much time passes, you can go back and relive that story over and over again.

We had pictures taken when our daughter was 2 months old and our son was 5 years old. They were so good and patient with the kids. At one point, I had to stop and nurse my baby and they were so flexible. They even took a few pictures of my husband and son making the most of the time while everyone waited. Now we enjoy getting to look back at those pictures and the sweet memories. Wyld Story captured that time in our lives perfectly!

Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming professional in 2017, my journey has taken me across the United States and around the world, where I've had the privilege of serving more than 200 couples on their special day. My approach to photography stands apart from traditional documentary styles. I focus on the natural colors and rich content of each moment, striving to highlight real-time emotions through thoughtful lighting and composition. My goal is to celebrate the unique narrative of every couple by capturing their happiness and love story with a distinct light-and-airy perspective.

Steven is the best photographer that anyone needs for their wedding. He is dedicated, thoughtful and very artistic. From our engagement photoshoot, Steven was on time and very organized. He guided us through the whole shoot. My husband and I felt so comfortable when taking photos. Our families were so amazed when we shared our photos. Steven did even better job on the wedding day. His team was professional and very fun to work with. Our families and wedding parties had a blast. We received our wedding photos fully edited within 2 months from the day. So suprised by such a fast turnover time! Did I say that we had to move our wedding 3 times because of the pandemic? But Steven was so accommodating and tried to work with our schedule every time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for the wedding photographer!

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

We did our maternity and holiday family picture with Cassy, and our family love it! I have a golden retriever and a 3-year old toddler so you can imagine how chaotic it can be to take a good family picture with two goofy balls. Cassy is amazing! She has this special magic to make the photo session a fun game for them and capture the precious moments for the family (the interaction, the laugh and etc.). She is patient with all our requests (e.g. different combination of family members) and she is good at guiding us for poses that looks natural but aesthetic. The whole session was like a fun activity and the whole family enjoyed it. We got our picture in about a week ( it's just like a blink considering it is holiday season!) and everyone loves it - the photo gallery is super easy to access and share with family members. Perfect if you want to do a digital holiday cards :) I'd highly recommend Cassy to capture the precious moments for every special occasion.

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!
