Intertwine Films is a photo + video team capturing weddings as they actually unfold. Real moments, real energy, zero forced vibes. We focus on connection over perfection, movement over posing, and stories that feel lived-in, emotional, and timeless. If it felt big to you, it matters to us.

Our wedding photo & video experience with the Intertwine Films team was incredible from start to finish. From day one, everything felt easy, organized, and intentional. The team showed up prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and offered guidance that made it clear they truly knew their craft, and cared about getting it right. Communication was always on point. Bryan were quick to respond, kept us in the loop, and really took the time to understand our vision for both our engagement session and wedding day. On the day itself, they were calm, confident, and totally in control, in the best way. Nothing ever felt rushed. When it came to group shots, they struck the perfect balance of assertive and friendly, making sure everyone felt comfortable, included, and relaxed. And the final work? Ahhh I can't even!!! Absolute we're hoping for! Every photo and film we’ve seen is beautifully composed, full of emotion, especially the b&w. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend Intertwine Films to anyone looking for a photo & video team that brings great energy, professionalism and heart to what they do.

  • Serves Costa Mesa, CA

Lulan’s creativity has led to his path beyond most conventional definitions. He has won 25+ wedding photography awards, named the Best Wedding Photographer in Los Angeles; while acquired advance degree in immunology and medicine from UCLA.

Awarded Best of Zola
10/10 Nick and I had the pleasure of working with Lulan and Sarah on our wedding day. They were exactly on time and prepared. They were so attentive, patient, and responsive to us. Never intrusive or demanding. Their direction felt very easy and natural; it made the unnatural process of taking hundreds of photos feel so seamless and easy. I loved that they took advantage of the space and venue. They have such a fantastic eye for composition and scale - my favorites are the wide shots that capture the cityscape behind. Their photos feel so timeless but fitting for the venue. We could not be happier with the results. I could not recommend Lulan and his team more. They were responsive to all of my questions throughout the planning process. Thank you to Lulan and Sarah for capturing our special day and giving us so many memories to cherish!

  • Serves Costa Mesa, CA

Hi!! I'm Maria, photographer, mom, wife, and nacho lover. Not listed in any particular order lol Once I had my first born, I realized going back to work at CBS was not what I wanted with 12 hour workdays. I took photography classes and decided to build my own business myself. I have been photographing weddings for the last 6 years and enjoy celebrating this amazing day with all my clients. Cheesy as it may sound, I'm an absolute romantic and I relish in witnessing the love, words said, and the joy found at every wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've had Maria associate shoot a wedding for me and the client loved her. She was very professional, attentive and caring. The wedding photos came out amazing, and the her choices made it very it easy in the editing room. I knew I found the right person to help me Associate shoot a wedding after our first zoom meet.

My name is Haley Wilde and I am a digital and 35mm film photographer based in Southern California. I specialize in all things surrounding love because I am a sucker for a good old fashioned love story. I would absolutely love to not only capture you love, but truly celebrate alongside you. I was a wedding planner for 3+ years prior to photography, so my knowledge and genuine passion for the wedding industry and serving my couples sets me apart from other photographers!

Awarded Best of Zola
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. The photos turned out beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the way she documented our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures stunning images but also makes you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process, Haley is the one. Whether it's engagements, weddings, or any other special event, Haley's talent and dedication shine through. Don't hesitate to hire her—you won't regret it!

Salut lovebirds! I'm Hannah, and I shoot avant-garde wedding photography for creative & bold lovers all over the U.S. and beyond. My secret sauce is the way I document candid, natural moments that make a wedding day unique... paired a bit of bold, editorial imagery to boot! Stoked you're here. Let's connect! xx

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah is the kind of photographer who genuinely gets excited about your vision and makes you feel supported from day one—her proactive communication and enthusiasm set the tone for an incredible experience. She captured exactly what we were hoping for with our non-traditional celebration, creating authentic moments that felt effortless rather than forced, and she was flexible enough to adjust our day-of schedule to ensure we got the shots that mattered. What really impressed us was the editorial quality of her work; she delivered a remarkable variety of images that told our story in a way that felt both creative and uniquely ours. Our guests loved interacting with her during the party, which speaks to how she brings energy and approachability to every interaction. The opportunity to collaborate creatively with Hannah made the entire process feel like a partnership rather than a transaction. We're 10/10 recommending her to any couples who want photography that goes beyond standard coverage.

Steve Cowell Photo

Costa Mesa, CA
  • 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

He is a team planner, which helps the day run smoothly. Finally, Steve's final product is absolutely stunning. Couples...trust me, you will LOVE your wedding pictures if you hire Steve Cowell Photo!!

Nick Cruz Photography, LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
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 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Costa Mesa, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,200

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.

  • Classic style

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.

Katy was very creative and professional. We are so happy with her work and will be using her for all of our photography needs!

Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Costa Mesa, CA

We’re Tucker and Alyssa, the husband and wife duo behind Wyld Story. We specialize in storytelling that feels honest, effortless, and deeply you. We believe wedding photography should feel like hanging out with friends who just happen to have cameras. We’re here to document the real stuff: the belly laughs, the happy tears, the in-between moments that matter just as much as the big ones. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just you, your people, and all the magic that unfolds when you’re fully present on your day. We offer soft direction just to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wyld Story was such an amazing option for our maternity shoot. Tucker and Alyssa were efficient, timely, and clear in their communication, which put us at ease throughout the process. Their thoughtful, detailed, and professional approach resulted in stunning photos that captured the sweetness of our love for each other and our baby girl. Couples shoots can sometimes feel awkward, but Wyld Story helped us feel relaxed and like ourselves (often getting a big belly laugh out of me). Alyssa worked with me to bring my vision to life, and Tucker's skills behind the camera made it all a reality. I highly recommend Wyld Story to capture any special moment.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I spent so much time searching for the perfect photographer and had high hopes for Alex. Even with our high expectations, Alex completely blew us away with his work. He was professional, efficient, friendly, and managed to capture authentic moments we didn’t even notice. We received our wedding photos within a month, and Alex’s work is literally art. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!

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.

Cassy has photographed our engagement, wedding, graduation and maternity photos. This review is long overdue. She’s so communicative and professional. She’ll make you feel comfortable right away and knows her stuff. She takes beautiful photos. You won’t regret going with her for your photos for any occasion. She’s awesome and just a super nice person and wonderful photographer. For our wedding, she went above and beyond and got so many great photos. Do it, go book her now.
