We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Te Dua Weddings. From our very first interaction to the last moments of our wedding day, Enea and Hayley were an absolute dream to work with. They brought such professionalism, kindness, and an incredible eye for detail, which took so much stress off our shoulders and let us enjoy every moment. The photos and videos they created are nothing short of breathtaking. Every smile, tear, and joyful moment was captured in such a beautiful and natural way. Additionally, they provided us with a google drive link of RAW files, which shows just how much they care about giving their clients everything they could want. Enea and Hayley are not just talented; they are artists with a true gift for storytelling. They exceeded every expectation we had, and we’ll treasure their work forever. If you want a wedding photo and video team that will blow you away, Te Dua Weddings is the one.

Imagery by Carissa Dugoni

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Carnelian Bay, CA

I’m Carissa, a California-based wedding photographer specializing in true-to-color editing, candid documentary coverage, and natural, editorial-style portraits. My work focuses on real connection, emotional storytelling, and the in-between moments that define a wedding day. With more than a decade of experience, I photograph weddings with an intentional, relaxed approach that helps couples feel comfortable, authentic, and fully present. My husband, Tyler, joins me as our videographer, bringing the same warm, storytelling-driven style to every celebration.

Ethereal, candid, jovial, refined are some of the buzzwords that the images of our oak tree & hanging lights, spring evening, 100 person ranch wedding brings to mind. Carissa made sure to get an idea of our and our family's priorities and vision for our wedding day photography months in advance. As the day approached she nailed down specifics of timing and herding those dear to us to capture everything we wanted! She has an eye for catching family dynamics, sweet background moments, and her whole team is quick to drop to the floor to get the perfect golden hour angle, play with long exposure, or get some kids laughing! They coordinated wonderfully with our other vendors throughout the day on things like equipment positioning and audio capture. We knew we would love any photos of us as a couple on the happiest day of our lives, but the width of their professional and personal vision for the whole picture is what truly captured our hearts. Thank you Dugonis for loving on us!

Nicky Byrnes Photography

Carnelian Bay, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked with Nicky a few times, both were non traditional ceremonies where hiking or skiing were involved. She is super fun and easy going and really makes couples feel relaxed. While she is easy going she is still professional and a great communicator. Her photos are beautiful as well. I look forward to working with her in the future and will continue to have her on my vendor referral list.

Joy Photo and Video was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and videography needs. They always answered my questions as fast as they could, which put me at ease during the planning process. I loved that I can have access to all the pictures they took, not just the edited ones. The video they put together is amazing - they were able to make it so special in just a few short minutes. The photographer and videographer told us exactly what to do and how to pose, which was so helpful since we didn't know what kind of poses we wanted. The only thing I knew I wanted was some under the veil pictures, and they made sure to get those first. I also loved knowing that if my photographer or videographer were sick that day or something happened, there would be a back-up person there to ensure our day was captured perfectly. Overall, Joy Photo and Video exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

Azaria Chavira Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Serves Carnelian Bay, CA

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Azaria not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.

We had our engagement and wedding photos done by Kaytlyn and we can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. She captured what we wanted so perfectly - we could honestly look at our photos for days on end. She gave us an insane amount of photos and it truly means the world to us to have all the big (and small) moments of our day curated so perfectly. Nothing felt staged. It felt effortless working with her. I could recommend her over and over again!

I could not recommend Mindy more! She was absolutely fantastic to work with and was extremely thoughtful and helpful with the entire experience. I used Mindy to capture two events, a proposal and and a surprise engagement party. For the proposal, Mindy spend a lot of time with me thinking through the right proposal spot at the location I was looking at to make sure that it worked for the photos, she even got there early to make sure that it worked. She was so well hidden to capture the proposal that for a moment I wasn't sure she was there, but she was and captured it and spent time with us after to take photos. We just got the sneak peak of the photos and they look fantastic. For the surprise party Mindy got there early and started to capture moments even before my fiancee and I arrived, she was really flexible on what worked best for the event so we can't wait to see the final photos!

I have always had a passion for photography and once I picked up a camera, it was all over. I was raised from a big family and my kids are my world! Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have a special love for being back there. I consider myself very outgoing and will always try and make you laugh and feel comfortable by being a huge dork. I think that is one of the biggest compliments I get is that my clients always feel relaxed and at ease and I love hearing that. Not to mention becoming friends with my clients which is an added bonus! ​

Hiring Jeff Hall as our wedding photographer was one of the first wedding decisions we made, and from there on out I knew everything was going to be fantastic. When meeting him for engagement photos, we all instantly hit it off and I knew he'd easy and FUN to work with. He's a photographer willing to go over and beyond to get THE perfect shot (wade through water, climb trees, shuffle through snow, lay in dirt. All of it.) The one thing I wanted at the end of the day was fantastic photos to look back on and hang in our home, and we received better photos than I ever dreamed of (and fast!). In fact, I loved him and the photos so much, I'm just counting down to when I can drag him to other countries for anniversary trips photoshoots! I'd recommend Jeff in a heartbeat to any couple!

This post is delinquent by a couple months, but we wanted to share our memorable experience utilizing Lisa Richmond Photography. I saw Lisa Richmond's art for the first time in the fall of 2014. Lisa photographed our dear friend's wedding in Winters, CA. So, when Linda and I became engaged in 2015, we knew immediately who we wanted to record our engagement and wedding day on 9/23/16. Luckily, Lisa was available!Prior to meeting Lisa for our engagement photos, we had chatted on the phone a couple times so Lisa could get an idea about Linda and my love story. She was very easy to talk with and we had several good laughs before meeting in person. I told Lisa that neither Linda or I cared to have our pictures taken so I wished her luck with that! Lisa knew we planned on getting married at a winery and she suggested we bring a bottle of wine to open during our engagement shoot. After sharing some wine and stories together, she started working her magic. Lisa made the shoot fun and effortless so the pictures looked natural. Her use of light and her timing are phenomenal. She caught our relationship and personalities digitally!Finally, our long-awaited day came! When Lisa arrived at our wedding, we greeted her as a friend and not just a photographer, since a friendship formed between all of us. Lisa captured every moment of our special day and more. She roamed the vineyards with us to obtain the perfect sunset moments, and she was knocked around on the dance floor like a pinball by some guests getting their groove on...just so she could seize our moments! We were delighted by Lisa's artistic eye, professionalism, and her great personality. We will definitely utilize her for future gatherings as well as share a glass of wine when possible! We highly recommend Lisa if you want to beautifully capture your special occasion.

If you’ve landed here, my guess is you want the perfect balance. Someone who will give you direction during your couple’s portraits, while avoiding making you feel like you’re on the MET gala red carpet during your ceremony. I’m here to help you feel at ease, to make jokes, to reassure you everything and nothing matters all in the same breath. I take years of stealthy concert photography skills and apply that to documenting the candid familial embrace. The wild shirtless last dance of the evening. The moment when you two look at each other after all the speeches are done, and you realize how wonderful it is to be showered with so much love.

“I could not have chosen a better photographer for my album cover art. Not only do I have a collection of exquisite and totally unique photos, after working with Jessie I also see myself in a brand new light. I feel more confident, more graceful, and frankly more badass. When I was designing my album cover art, I wanted something dreamy, but not cheesy or cliche. When I saw Jessie’s underwater photography I knew immediately that this was the right match. If anyone could capture the feel I was going for, it was her. I loved everything about working with her—it felt like playing around. I am not a model, or much of a water person, but together we figured out how to move my body, how to push my hair around, how to use the fabric underwater, how to relax my face. All I really needed was one good picture, but I ended up with so many stunning, magical photographs, unlike anything else out there. It was beyond anything I had imagined. What an incredibly special experience. I am so grateful that I was able to work with Jessie. People compliment my album cover all the time, but more importantly, it’s actually the cover I always dreamed of."
