I don't just capture moments, I ✨create✨ them! I'm for the couples who want photos that look candid, but are actually directed so you never feel awkward!! If you're sarcastic or a dog person, I like you already...if you want emotive photos that feel like art...HIT MY LINE.

My now husband and I like to pride ourselves on being different and doing things out of your “norm”. Gradually, when it came to our wedding we wanted to do things differently and that included our wedding pictures. I found Tessa on IG and I immediately knew that her style fit our vision. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her work speaks for itself. They were everyyyything! I loved that she made me feel like I was a natural in front of the camera. Tessa is also very professional. Props to her for continuing to take our pics in the middle of the ocean while being sea sick lol worth every penny 3

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

Weddings by Katherine Marchand

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Santa Margarita, CA

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA. With over a decade of experience and features in Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is long overdue. Working with Katherine was, without question, one of the best decisions we made for our City Hall wedding in May 2025. Months of Instagram research led me to Katherine. I started following her work before I was even engaged. She is phenomenal at what she does. From our very first interaction, her communication was exceptional. Katherine is prompt, thoughtful, and genuinely attentive. She took the time to truly understand our vision, ensuring every image beautifully reflected the aesthetic and overall tone we hoped for. Beyond her remarkable talent behind the camera, Katherine was an invaluable presence throughout the planning process. She went above and beyond to help us develop a clear, well-organized schedule, which made our wedding day feel effortless and seamless, which she absolutely did not need to do (I still appreciate you so much for this Katherine). Her calm, confident guidance kept everything on track and allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the moment, knowing we were in capable hands. What truly sets Katherine apart is her warmth and presence. She has an incredible ability to make people feel comfortable and at ease, and our friends and family immediately felt that. My mother-in-law continues to remark on how much she loves Katherine and how wonderful she was at our wedding. Katherine blended naturally into the celebration while still providing gentle direction, managing group photos with efficiency and grace so that everyone felt seen and comfortable. When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. Katherine has a rare eye for capturing intimate, emotional moments, many of which we didn’t even realize were unfolding at the time. There is a specific image she captured of my husband laughing while his grandfather is speaking during our ceremony; we could not figure out when it happened. It was not until we watched the video of our ceremony did we see it happen. It was a split second reaction and Katherine captured it beautifully. We asked that our wedding photos feel like an inside-joke but anyone looking in still feels like they are in on the joke and that is what she delivered. The photos are not just beautiful images; they are meaningful, timeless memories captured with care, intention, and artistry. There is just something so special about Katherine's work; she perfectly encapsulates every emotion in a photo. Seven months later, I'm still in awe. We are deeply grateful to Katherine for capturing our wedding so perfectly. If you are looking for a photographer who is highly organized, incredibly talented, and a true joy to work with, we cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you a thousand times again Katherine! All our gratitude, M & S

We are so grateful that we got to work with Anderson for our big day in May! He was so lovely to work with, and he took the time to get to know more about us as a couple before we met up for our civil ceremony. He was very communicative, and he sent us our photos well before the deadline in our contract. I would say that my husband and I are not naturals in front of a camera, and Anderson was patient and guided us so professionally throughout our wedding. We felt comfortable and trusted his vision, and it really paid off! Our photos are timeless and truly capture the emotion of that day. We will cherish them forever! We would highly recommend reaching out to Anderson if you are looking for a classic, timeless wedding portfolio. In fact, we are going to be working with him again in August when we have our reception!

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

We loved working with Murtaza and the MKEShoots team for our 6-event Indian wedding, plus engagement shoot. His passion for the art was so infectious, especially since it was our first time doing professional photos. It took us some time to warm up to the camera, but once we did, well, the pictures really speak for themselves. Murtaza especially has an incredible eye for creative photo ideas, and he and the team made it so much fun even though we were stressed out with all the wedding drama. They scoped out noteworthy outdoor locations that made amazing backdrops, helped corral family members together for group photos, and just generally went above & beyond to make sure we had coverage of all the important moments - all the big things and the small details too. The photos we ended up with were beyond what I imagined, I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Now, I just need someone to help put the wedding album together.... :)

Laurie Ann Martin and her team are a fun and professional group to work with. She is detailed oriented and cares not only how the pictures turn out but also your experience. My eyelash came off and I wanted to cry at city hall but she not only made me happy but went to Walgreens to get eye glue lash! That is the type of all hats on board she and her team are. When they had down time before the reception, they even offered to help out non-picture wise wherever they could! She also sends little gifts and surprises but I won’t spoil it. There is one BIG surprise she does at the end but I won’t spoil that either lol. She is fortunately not shy about whether she understands whether things are communicated correctly to her, especially when it comes to the albums - I was quite detailed oriented in what I wanted in my albums and how they were designed _. Her and her teams services are of an immense value and my husband and I had ALOT of fun shooting and videoing with them. Also, the video was really great, really a must.

Artistic and passionate photographer with a decade of experience in capturing the most cherished moments in couples' lives. I prioritize creating a relaxing atmosphere for my clients, the most natural and beautiful moments are captured. My photography reflects not only my vision but also my passion. I strive to provide all my clients with expert photography services and an exceptional experience.

We searched and spoke with many photographers because we had a clear vision for our elopement, and it was important that our photographer truly understood it. Once we found Kin Photography, we immediately knew we were in the best hands. His communication style was organized, attentive, down‑to‑earth, and never pushy. He’s just an all around good guy and it was a pleasure working with him at every step of the way. We eloped in the high desert of the Eastern Sierras and wanted someone who could showcase the beauty of the landscape, not just take hundreds of close‑ups of our faces. Kin captured every special moment of our elopement day with incredible efficiency and an eye for detail that far exceeded our expectations. He genuinely understood & was excited about our vision. As someone who often feels awkward in front of a camera, I worried that would show in our photos. Kin eased all of our nerves by offering gentle direction and incorporating fun, creative ideas beyond the typical wedding poses. His passion for his craft is clearly evident, and it shines through in the quality of his work. The turnaround time for our photos was fast. When I saw our wedding photos online, I was speechless. They were stunningly beautiful. Our only challenge now is choosing which photos to print and display because there are so many gorgeous ones to pick from. I’m not sure how we are going to decide. Both sides of our family said the same thing. But that’s a good problem to have! Kin truly went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend him to any couple planning their wedding and especially recommend him for elopement couples. We couldn’t be happier with the service and product Kin photography provided. If we ever need a photographer again, there’s no question, we would certainly call Kin.

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day.

King is seriously a dream to work with! From the first time we talked, we just knew they were the right choice. He’s so down-to-earth and made us feel totally at ease, which was huge because neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. He helped us with posing when we needed it (thank you for making us look like we knew what we were doing!), but also just let us be ourselves, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. He totally captured the vibe of our day, especially the reception. The energy, the laughter, the dancing—everything was perfectly documented. We couldn’t have asked for better photos that really tell the story of our celebration. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out!

We got married in October 2024 and hiring Hiba as our photographer was one of the first and best decisions we made. Throughout the entire process from the engagement shoot to the saying goodbye on the dance floor - Hiba was a gem to work with. The photos are stunning, there are so many beautiful moments and a good mix of posed and candid. Truly there are some that I feel deserve to be on a magazine cover. Hiba has a fantastic eye for lighting, balance, and framing - all her shots are expertly taken but still come off casual and relaxed. She truly managed to capture the vibe of the whole day perfectly and we literally were checking daily to see the full gallery and it was totally worth the wait. Thank you Hiba!!

Hi! My name is Bailey and I am the owner of Baileaves Photography. I am a travel and destination wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I travel all over the world to create timeless cinematic images of couples.

My fiancé and I are getting married in May 2026 and are both pretty camera shy. We knew we wanted to get professional engagement and wedding photos done, but were nervous they would feel inauthentic. When we found Bailey’s page we were so excited about how she captured genuine joy from her couples in some of our favorite natural wonders in Oregon, which put us at ease going into our first conversation with her. Right out of the gate Bailey was incredible helping us feel comfortable with her, giving us resources to help guide our location outfit choices, and making us feel confident that we weren’t going to regret this decision. On the day of our engagement shoot, Bailey showed up at sunrise with us on the Oregon coast and ran around the beach for over 3 hours with us because the lighting kept shifting in such incredible ways through the clouds. Not only that, but she went above and beyond wrangling our dogs while we got some couple shots followed by some with the pups in some truly special family shots we will certainly be hanging up in the house. We had the best time with Bailey and the engagement photos she delivered were beyond anything we could have imagined. The way she captures the little smiles and moments between loved ones is unmatched, and her attention to lighting nuance and details of the natural area you’re in make her photos that much more special. We ended up using some of her photos for our invites and website, but are most excited to frame some for the house to remember forever. We can’t wait to have her as our wedding photographer and couldn’t recommend her enough for anyone looking!

Hi my name is Amber and I cannot wait to embark on this next journey in life with you. I picked up my first camera almost 20 years ago when I was 13 and I haven't put one down since. As a wedding, elopement and adventure photographer I am here to document your memories, tell your stories and capture those moments you ordinarily wouldn't even see. I am beyond passionate about what I do. I'm not simply taking your photos, I'm telling your stories and I cannot wait to start your next chapter with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amber is one of my favorite photographers that I’ve worked with on several occasions! She always goes the extra mile to make sure she gets the perfect shot. Her eye for detail makes her dark and moody style that more incredible. She’s a great friend and she’s the best to collaborate ideas with!

Hi, I'm Hannah! I’m a Greenville, SC wedding photographer, available for weddings throughout the Carolinas, Georgia, and beyond. I love soft light, rich color, timeless edits, happy tears, a focus on the little details, and couples who are really, really into each other.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah photographed our engagement session, our welcome party and rehearsal dinner, and our wedding day—and every single album turned out absolutely perfect. She captured everything with such care, blending beautifully posed shots with those in-the-moment, documentary-style images that feel so real and alive. Her editing is soft, natural, and timeless. As a person, Hannah is just wonderful. My husband and I have never felt truly comfortable in front of a camera, but she guided us through every step and made the entire experience fun and relaxed. We felt like ourselves, and it shows in the photos. We couldn’t be happier with our images or our experience. Hannah is truly exceptional.

I have been photographing weddings for 13 years and I love every second of it! I live in the Hudson Valley, but I travel all over the world for weddings. I started photographing weddings in college on the side and once I graduated I knew I wanted to continue to pursue weddings! If you'd like to inquire, please do so through my website!

We are so glad we chose Jordan as our photographer for our wedding 1/28/24. She was so much fun to work with and took such gorgeous photos for us!
