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.

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!

We cannot recommend Haley enough for your wedding photography needs! We discovered Haley through Instagram and were immediately impressed by her work. From our very first interaction, Haley was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Haley made the photography aspect seamless. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but Haley's friendly and calming demeanor put us completely at ease during our engagement shoot. She took the time to understand our personalities and preferences, which really showed in the photos. On our wedding day, Haley was a true professional. She was patient, took initiative when needed, capturing all the most precious moments—from our first look with our grandparents to our private vows.

I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

I’m a fun-loving, passion-chasing, curly-headed gal looking at life through a viewfinder. My happy place is anywhere outside of my comfort zone, but a nature-filled walk chatting up good company is a close second. If I’m not planning my next trip, or dreaming up something to cook for dinner, I’m outside trying to meet my Fitbit step goal. (10k club, anyone?) My latest leap of faith? A cross-country move to sunny Orange County, California. This isn’t the first time I’ve packed up and jetted away from my home state of Maryland: Germany, Singapore, and South Carolina make the list too.

I am a father of two beautiful young kids. I do Weddings/engagements/family because they are fun to me.

I work every shoot to capture the emotion in which you actually felt in the moment. No Ai was used in the creation of this explanation ;)

Well if you've stumbled upon this review, consider yourself lucky that you found Jeff. Jeff was my wedding photographer, and I could not be happier. Not only was he a calm presence on our wedding day, but he also stayed later than expected when our timeline ran behind which I really appreciated. Jeff has an amazing creative eye and put so much effort in to make sure we had the best day. Thank you again Jeff for your hard work and your kindness. My husband and I printed out his photos and enjoy them everyday in our home. We are so lucky we found Jeff and I have recommended him to multiple friends, who have also been happy with his services.

Karl Verkade Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Mission Viejo, CA

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.

Hi, I’m Annie — an Orange County wedding, couples, and family photographer passionate about capturing authentic, love-filled moments across Southern California. As a wife and mom, I know how quickly time passes, which is why I focus on creating timeless, heartfelt images that feel real and true to you. Whether it’s your wedding day, a couples session, or family portraits on the coast, I’m here to document your story with warmth, artistry, and intention.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Annie. From the moment she showed up, she brought such a calm, fun energy to the day. She didn’t just take pictures—she helped direct everything in such a natural, easy way that made the whole day flow perfectly. It felt like having your best friend there who just happened to be capturing every single moment beautifully. When we got our photos back, we were blown away. Every shot feels alive—she somehow caught all the little moments, the laughter, the emotions, everything. The pictures are absolutely stunning, and both my wife Yui’s family and my family keep saying how special they are. These are photos we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. Annie made the day so fun and stress-free, and her work speaks for itself. She’s insanely talented and just an amazing person to have around on such an important day. We can’t thank her enough for giving us memories we’ll never forget.
