Just wanted to say a bit about G. He did our engagement shoot and we are blown away!!! This guy is not only amazing with a camera, but he also kept things relaxed, which was great because I'm usually not the best with cameras around. The photos came out very nice too!! He also delivered the photos quickly, which was a nice surprise. If you're looking for a photographer who's easygoing and skilled, G's worth checking out. Looking forward to our wedding :)

  • Serves Lake Forest, CA

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
Steve did our engagement photos, family photos, tea ceremony photos, and wedding photos for us. He makes you feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera and the photo results show it. He is not only kind and engaging but take absolutely stunning photos. We hope to use Steve again in the future!!

Oleg and his team are THE MOST talented video/photo team I have every met and worked with. A lot of trust goes into finding someone that can capture your day for a lifetime of memories and we are BEYOND THRILLED to have chosen ZayaEvent. We met with Oleg for the first time and he was so detailed and excited about what he does. It made us excited to work with him! We sent inspo on what we wanted for our engagement shoot and shared what our vision was for our wedding. He captured it all perfectly! We chose to do our engagement shoot at The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. Oleg was on time and made the experience so much fun. I am very camera shy but he made us both feel very comfortable and captured candid moments of us purely having fun. On our wedding day, Oleg and his team arrived and conquered it all! They were a joy to work with and soooo organized. They created a 1-min movie-quality video for us the next day and returned some photos as a sneak-peek. I CANNOT WAIT to see everything else he captured from our special day! I would work with Oleg and his team over and over again!

During my time at school, Brooks Photography Institute, I studied multiple types of photography: fashion, commercial, food, nature, architecture, and portraiture. All of this experience has prepared me for bringing professionalism and creativity to every part of your day. I have photographed weddings for 10 years, during which time I learned the ins and outs of the industry. I have traveled to many countries, worked with celebrities and have been there to capture priceless moments for hundreds of people and their families. In 2014, I was recognized by Rangefinders Magazine as one of the 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography.

Lauren from the get-go was extremely friendly and easy to work with from our engagement photos to a full 3 day weekend of wedding festivities out of state. She feels like part of your family and is able to make everyone feel at ease while capturing images that truly blow your mind. Our mothers cannot stop talking about how much they love the moments she was able to capture, and we can truly say that we are blessed with not only amazing wedding photos, but a wonderful experience that we will continue to recommend again and again.

Hailing from New Orleans, LA, and now based out of South Orange County, CA, I fell in love with photography long ago. I officially launched my wedding & elopement photography business in 2021. After graduating in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, I found myself having the time to further fall in love with photography, getting the chance to photograph more and more - so much so that I was able to start my own business in a rather unexpected way. Now able to travel the world with my camera in tow, I am beyond grateful for this passion turned career, & I feel so blessed every time my finger presses down on my camera shutter.

Cassidy shot both my engagement photos in New Orleans and my micro wedding in Las Vegas back in 2021 and she blew us away with her work. She was so comfortable to work with, especially for a couple of dorks not used to being in front of the camera, and she made sure we had fun with our shoots and got the shots we wanted. Her style fits our aesthetic so perfectly and I LOVE showing off the photos she’s done for us any chance I get. I’ve even had friends tell me they have shown off my wedding photos to strangers and colleagues to brag about how cool my wedding was and how gorgeous my photos turned out. Cassidy is extremely professional, prompt, kind, courteous, and has a great eye and a really unique creative vision. I can’t wait to see what she does in the future and I can’t wait to book her again for our next couples shoot!

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!

Your wedding is about the two of you together, along with your family and friends, and the celebration of love. My main goal on your wedding day is to help ensure that you always remember the day — by capturing amazing photos and also that amazing feeling of being young and in love.

Highly recommend booking Ashley for your engagement or wedding photos. I booked her for both and am super pleased with my results. Have my engagement photos and wedding framed all around my house :) I was looking for a bright, airy vibe for my photos and that is exactly what I got. During the wedding planning process and day she was very organized and efficient. I still look at my wedding photos and cry because they're so beautiful! Probably will book her again for our next chapter in life- Maternity

Thank you for stopping by my website! My name is Yuki, and I am a photographer based in Southern California. Since I was little, I've had a camera in my hands wherever I go, and it has been my passion to photograph unforgettable moments. My influence came from my father who is a semi-pro photographer and videographer in Japan, and his journalistic photography style encouraged me to anticipate the moments and capture natural impressions. The moments I capture become the past, but what inspires me is seeing people’s reactions to the photographs I take. It is my hope that these moments become timeless. Often clients tell me that having a photo can bring back the feelings and memories of that moment, which is why I launched Yukipix Photography, LLC.

A little about me… I started Hailley Howard Photography in 2011 and built it from the ground up. Using contacts I had in the fashion industry I grew my career one client and one gig at a time. The last few years have been filled with immense growth and many incredible opportunities. We are now a family-run business serving both the wedding, event and commercial photography industries. Pre-COVID I split my time between California and New York, with a lot of travel in between. With everything on standby, I am quietly working from home on the California Coast in Laguna Beach anticipating the adventures ahead. My vision as a photographer is to capture the world and the lives within giving voice to the unique tale we can all tell. Grateful is not a big enough world to encapsulate the positive feelings I have for my passion behind what I do and all the memories and moments it has afforded me.
