  • Fine art style
  • Serves Dana Point, CA

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.

My Wife and I couldn’t be happier with the amazing job Steven did. We will cherish and share these wonderful candid snapshots of our family and friends coming together to celebrate our love. Steven and his team were able to navigate the long 12-hour Vietnamese wedding ceremony with dedication and professionalism. His team were able to stage the shots quickly while provide concise directions so we could meet our busy wedding schedule. They emphasized that we should enjoy our big day. Whether it was firing off jokes, providing valuable assistance, or answering our questions, Steven and his team were a dream to work with and we couldn’t recommend them more. Our friends have also hired him after seeing his work.

Cassy Velazquez Photography

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.

I don't know how else to say this, but my husband and I are THE most awkward people when it comes to photos. We forget how to smile, we never know where to look, and we don't know what to do with our hands... or faces. We had a different photographer for our engagement photos and I didn't like the way 99% of them came out. We looked uncomfortable and awkward. I emailed Cassy about how uncomfortable we are in front of a camera and she called me to reassure me that she would be able to give us direction and make sure all the photos turned out great. We had a tiny micro wedding on the beach during covid with just our immediate family. I hired a picnic company to set up a tiny ceremony and hors d'oeuvres. Cassy captured all the details of the set up beautifully. My in-laws wanted a coffee table book of our wedding photos, and it was so hard to pick just a few. We got so many incredible photos! Our couples shots look like something in a magazine. She made it so fun, we never felt weird or uncomfortable. Cassy had these little tips and tricks and she'd get genuine laughter and smiles out of us. There were no forced smiles or awkward faces. When I look at my photos, it brings back all the memories of laughter and joy on our special day. I'm so grateful we found her! All our photos are light, airy, and perfect. Thank you so much, Cassy!

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

Words truly cannot capture how much we love Madeleine. From our very first interaction, it was clear we had found someone special to document our day. Madeleine's talent and passion shone through every moment we spent with her, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She expertly corralled our enormous family, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time, all while keeping us on schedule. In the midst of the whirlwind, she made us feel so beautiful and comfortable, even as we were being pulled in various directions. Her ability to blend professionalism with a warm, friendly demeanor kept us laughing throughout the day, easing any feelings of being overwhelmed. The photos she captured are pure magic. Each image tells a story, beautifully preserving the joy and love of our wedding day. Madeleine’s photos exude the exact emotions we felt throughout our day and I know we will cherish them forever. One of the hardest parts of the wedding being over is the realization that we won’t get to see Madeleine again. It feels like we gained a true friend throughout this process, and we now know exactly who to call to capture all of life's big events in the future. Thank you, Madeleine, for your incredible work and for making our day unforgettable! We love you so much!

Originally from Mexico with a background in architecture, I discovered my true calling behind the camera at age 13. What started as a teenage passion has blossomed into Judith Baños Photography, where I've spent years documenting life's most precious moments. My architectural training gives me a unique perspective on composition and light. As a bilingual photographer, I specialize in weddings, proposals, elopements, and pet photography because I believe in preserving memories that last forever.

Judith was absolutely amazing! She took our engagement photos on the beach and truly captured the moment perfectly. From helping me imagine the perfect location to making us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, she went above and beyond. Every photo looks like something out of a dream natural, romantic, and full of emotion. I can’t thank her enough for making this experience so special. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your vision and brings it to life, Judith is the one!

Mallory Dawn Photography

  • Serves Dana Point, CA

My name is Mallory, and I am a fine art film wedding photographer based out of Southern California & available worldwide. Growing up I always had a creative mind. I felt drawn to the camera but never knew why, or that one day it would become one of my main purposes in life. I began my business in 2012 and can honestly say that I have never looked back. I would describe my style as delicate, romantic, elegant, but most importantly - timeless.

Mallory is the epitome of a professional photographer but embodies the comfort of a best friend. She has truly honed her craft and is wonderful to work with. She has made my camera-shy husband feel at ease during our engagement shoot, & she has incredible attention to detail. Her photos are timeless and elegant, and the photos she has taken of me and my husband are my absolute favorite. I whole-heartedly recommend Mallory to anyone looking for classic jaw-dropping film photographs they will cherish forever.

Stephanie’s journey in photography began when her sister became engaged in 2017. This was such an emotional experience for her that what started out as a hobby quickly became a passion that she craved to share with others.

As soon as I got engaged, I booked Stephanie! Before I even had any of my other vendors, I knew I needed her to document our day! From initial meeting to gallery delivery, she has been the most amazing, patient, kind, responsive, fun, hardworking, and wonderful individuals I have ever had the opportunity to work with.

Anatoliy is from Kazakhstan, where he studied transportation technology at Karaganda State Technical University, before getting his MFA in filmmaking from New York Film Academy. Susie is from LA, and she studied molecular & cellular biology at Harvard University (along with film and animation), before getting her MS in computer science from UChicago. While we were both in engineering, deep down, we always had a passion for storytelling. And one day, we decided that life was far too short for us not to do what we loved: creating and sharing real stories.

I don't think there are words to truly express how much Anatoliy K, Susie, and team made our wedding photo dreams come true. From a perfect engagement shoot on the beach to our big day in a spring garden - the photos say it all! Each moment and detail was so perfectly captured, and made our hearts burst looking at each picture. We are truly blown away by the high-quality, attention to detail, and gorgeous compositions that came out of such a creative team. Once I saw AnatoliyK Weddings on Zola, they stood out, and they truly delivered. It was SUCH a pleasure and joy working with Anatoliy and Susie from the beginning to end. They made our vision come to life, and we have it for a lifetime to remember! THANK YOU so much to such an amazing wedding photography team. I cannot recommend you hire them enough!!!

I first began taking photos when my son, Andrew, was born in 1998. He is now my second photographer. I started my wedding photography career in 2000, working for a wedding studio part-time. In April 2019, I started as a full-time wedding photographer to pursue my life time goal. I would love to capture your unique love story!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer who exceeds expectations in every way, look no further. From the moment we first reached out, Justin was incredibly personable, making us feel at ease and excited about the big day. Their communication throughout the process was top-notch--always prompt, clear, and thoughtful. On the wedding day, their efficiency truly shone. Not a single moment was wasted, yet they managed to capture every beautiful detail, emotion, and candid moment without ever feeling intrusive. What impressed us even more was their incredible use of an assistant photographer--working seamlessly together to cover every angle while maintaining a smooth, stress-free experience. What sets Justin apart is their flexibility. They adapted effortlessly to changes in schedule and location, constantly offering solutions and keeping things light and fun. It felt like having a true partner in the planning process, someone genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The photos are nothing short of magical--every image tells a story and perfectly captures the day's joy, love, and excitement. We couldn't be happier with the results, and we highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a photographer who combines artistry with professionalism and makes. Every you feel like the center of attention in the most extraordinary way.

An Orange County, California native who has had the pleasure of capturing genuine and lasting memories through professional photography since 2018. I was 7 years old when I picked up my first camera and I’ve been mesmerized since.

Aimee was just a joy to have along our wedding journey. Everything she has sent so far has been breathtaking, I can't stop staring. Not only did she make our photos flawless, she is a true hype girl and brings out natural smiles from the most awkward humans. She also took the time to let my baby niece use her camera to take blurry photos of the floor and she was mesmerized at 3 hours past her bedtime. I will be using her for all my future photo needs!

We got some really great photos from Samuel! We really love his true-to-reality editing and that he tries to capture every detail. Be sure to tell him ahead of time how you want your day to go. He leans hard toward the Instagram-y, fabricated style and it was difficult to redirect to a more candid style in the moment.

Emma captured our engagement photos, our rehearsal dinner, and our wedding day in absolutely the most beautiful way. She’s so wonderful to work with, provides a gazillion photos, and even woke up at dawn to photograph our sunrise vows (which we told her was completely not necessary, but she was just truly excited to capture the moment which really speaks to the kind of person she is) and then also stayed all night long to photograph the dance floor. She is a joy to be around and made the photos so fun, she captured little in between moments beautifully, was organized and detailed, the cost of her services is so beyond reasonable, and she gave us photos that will last us a lifetime. 10000/10 would recommend her to capture your special day.

One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!
