Tyler Chase Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Marina del Rey, CA

I have been a storyteller my whole life. From throwing on crazy costumes to entertain my family to picking up a camera for the first time, I've always known storytelling was my passion! I am a wife to my rock, my goofy dance partner, my best friend. I am a mama to Parker and doggy mommy to Dunken who is constantly chasing both of them around yelling "YOU'RE SO CUTE LET ME SQUEEZE YOU!!"... true story.

When we were planning for our wedding almost a year ago, it was so important to find a photographer we loved and were able to completely trust. We immediately knew after our initial phone conversation with Tyler that we didn’t need to look any further. Tyler isn’t just a photographer...she does SO MUCH more. Our wedding venue ended up canceling on us midway through this year. I was devastated but Tyler was there every step of the way and ALWAYS accommodating. She answered texts and was always available...even if it was asking for advice on bridesmaids dress colors. We ended up deciding to elope with family in an intimate beach setting. Tyler helped pick a venue and led the entire step of the way. I never felt like I was just another bride to Tyler. My grandparents who weren’t able to attend got to relive the day through our photos which is something I’ll cherish forever. We look at our photos almost daily and stare at them in awe...nonetheless, Tyler gave us a sneak peek in about 24hrs!!! If you want someone you can trust and rely on and know someone who can take all you milestone photos moving further...look know further. Tyler is simply the best.

Randall de Leon Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Marina del Rey, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
Randall was recommended by our videographer (Call it Captivation Films, who we recommend). We really enjoyed his gallery and how natural his photos looked. We spoke to a few other photographers before him, but during our 1st video meeting he vibed well with us; he and I are both Fil-Am with history of working with pediatric patients (he as a PTA, me as a RN), and he and my husband shared a love for the same teams (Dodgers and Lakers). We were quick to book him after our meeting and are extremely happy with our decision to work with him! The photography packages he offers and his prices are amazing. Randall was great with communication and with providing us with recommendations (ie what to bring for flat lay, helping us pose, etc) prior to and day of the wedding. He did a site tour of our venue where we got to meet him and his kids in person. Prior to the ceremony, Randall worked with me, while the 2nd photographer worked with my husband. My husband said that the 2nd photographer fitted in well like one of the boys. He gave us a preview of the photos 1 week after our wedding and the full gallery of our wedding about 8-9 weeks after our wedding. We are so happy with all the photos! They are so beautiful and timeless, and they captured the essence of our wedding so well. **If you're looking for a photographer, Randall is your guy! I did the research for you :) Book him now! **

I've photographed couples from over 40 countries, blending traditions from Mexico to Morocco, India to Ireland, Japan to Brazil. My style is vibrant, natural, and true to life—focused on authentic emotion and joyful moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We discovered Gui on Zola and reached out because of his experience with photographing marriages for various cultures and from various backgrounds. Gui's photographs also caught our eye as there were great candid shots to capture the moment and sweet posed ones. When we met with Gui over zoom to get to know each other, he was kind, responsive, and knowledgable. Gui helped put us at ease, and it was a fairly quick decision to go with him after we met. We did an engagement photo session with Gui. He was very flexible when the park we wanted to do the session at was closed. We were able to pivot, and Gui took incredible photos in the new location. Gui also did not pressure us always asking if we were okay with the poses, but adjusting us for better shots. We were so happy with the engagement photos. On the day of the wedding, Gui was prompt and punctual. We took a few shots before the ceremony. During the ceremony, Gui captured all the key moments, but we also received compliments from our guests that he did not distract or take away from teh ceremony. Gui did great with the family photos and was very gracious in the many photos with friends during the reception. We cannot recommend Gui enough. His demeanor helped to relieve any stress around the photos both during the engagement session and the wedding. Gui's experience with many different couples has helped him develop cultural sensitivity which he uses to capture and highlight the unique moments of their ceremony. Thank you so much, Gui, for all your help during the wedding.

My name is Zyaire Porter and I am the photographer of Porterhouse LA Weddings. Born & raised in Los Angeles, I have been capturing weddings professionally since 2013. I answer every email myself (no bots or assistants).

Awarded Best of Zola
Porterhouse LA did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. Zyaire was artistic, punctual, and precise. We received our photos very quickly after the wedding, and are absolutely in love with them. We’ll treasure these for the rest of our lives, and have had so much joy from sharing them with others. The comments we’ve received have all been about how beautiful the wedding looked, how good everyone looked, and how gorgeous the photos were overall, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Zyaire met with us over Zoom twice before the actual wedding, and took every one of our concerns and questions seriously. He had a good answer to everything, and it convinced us that we were dealing with a consummate professional. We also asked him to shoot our welcome party for guests, and he was able to oblige with that, as well. We first met him in person for the welcome party, and he was already there when we arrived, getting background shots of the venue. This was something we hadn’t even considered, but it was really valuable - having shots of the venue, and the venue for our wedding, helped put the other photos in context for people who weren’t able to attend, and gave us mementos of the locations themselves.

Josh was super amazing! Not only did he do a great job photography wise but, he was super helpful and accommodating to all of the chaos that occurred on my wedding day. He also tried to ensure that the vibes are not awkward and tries to keep things comfortable. During the engagement shoot my husband and I had with him, he would say something funny that would break the tension and awkwardness and make us laugh and feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend him infinity times over!

Mirage and Light Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Marina del Rey, CA

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

It was our pleasure to have Mirage and Light photograph our events. One of the things we look for as florists when someone photographs our work is how accurately a photographer may represent color. Since so many clients book us off of previous work, it is imperative to have this accuracy so we can convey to others what we mean when we give them a certain color palette. Amanda and her team did a beautiful job on this for us, and she gave our clients lovely, candid, and natural looking memories of their gorgeous day. Everything was done just as it should be, and I am honored to recommend them to any couple seeking beautiful photos for their day.

Hi!! I'm Maria, photographer, mom, wife, and nacho lover.

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.

I absolutely love my photos and I have since had the please of having Maria take my maternity shoot and most recently my "Trash The Dress" with her. I'm very grateful, that I have these memorable important milestones professional photography to look back at. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who is professional, on time, understand the vision you have, and most importantly is there is make you feel special and beautiful on your important day.

Honeylume Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Marina del Rey, CA

What excites me most isn’t just photographing a wedding day, it’s delivering images you’ll come back to again and again. I focus on real connection, genuine emotion, and creating an experience that feels easy and comfortable from start to finish. Sometimes that means quietly observing the day as it unfolds, and other times gently guiding you when you needed. With nearly 20 years behind the camera, my goal is simple: to capture photographs that feel as meaningful years from now as they do the moment you see them. If you’re looking for someone who cares just as much about how your photos feel as how they look, I’d love to connect.

Honeylume Photography (Lee) was an excellent choice for our engagement shoot. He was super quick to respond to all our inquiries and was very attentive to all our needs throughout the planning process. His work came out beautiful, was affordable, he made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera, and he was very personable and fun to work with. We couldn't be happier with the stunning photos that will help us remember our engagement for years to come.

I'm a wedding photographer who loves capturing real, unscripted moments with a warm, earthy, and candid touch. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure filled with laughter, happy tears, and unexpected little moments, and I’m here to document it all in a way that feels natural, fun, and true to you—not stiff or overly posed. When I’m not behind the camera, life is a whirlwind of adventure. I’m a proud mom to a wild and wonderful toddler, which means I know a thing or two about embracing chaos and finding joy in the little moments.

I found Shelby through searching wedding photographers on Instagram and instantly loved her style. We were supposed to get married in Big Bear but had a last minute venue change. She was awesome and so flexible and instead made the trip out to Palm Desert to document our special day. She got there early, organized with her shot list and suggested shots that I otherwise would not have, and I'm so thankful for that! Look forward to working with her again for future life events!

I’m Samantha, a fine art wedding photographer based in Santa Monica, capturing timeless, editorial imagery for couples across California, Cabo, Italy, France and beyond. With over a decade of experience, I bring gentle guidance and heartfelt storytelling to every celebration. My husband and I also offer seamless cinema for couples who want every moment artfully preserved, with seamless coverage and shared creative vision.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!! Samantha at Klose Up Photography is truly one of a kind. From the moment she arrived, she brought the perfect mix of professionalism and playful energy that made everyone feel totally at ease. She gave just the right amount of direction to help us look our best, while still capturing those candid, real, in-the-moment shots that made the whole experience feel effortless and FUN. Her creativity is unmatched—she saw details we didn’t even notice and somehow made everything look like it was out of a magazine spread. The photos are STUNNING! Every single shot is bursting with life, color, emotion, and the tiniest thoughtful touches.
