Holly D Photography

  • Serves Occidental, CA

I know you’re sitting there looking through a list of photographers & wondering which one should I choose?! I know how you feel! You’re trying to see which one will capture the most beautiful photos, which one will best fit your personality, will they be able to capture those candid memories, & of course, will they fit in my budget?

Holly D Photography was absolutely incredible at capturing my wedding day. Every photo reflected the emotion, joy, and beauty of the moment so perfectly. The images truly allowed me to relive the day all over again. Holly had an amazing eye for detail and captured both the big, meaningful moments and the quiet, intimate ones that I did not even realize were happening. Aside from marrying the love of my life, taking photos with Holly was my favorite part of the wedding. I am naturally very photo shy, but Holly made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She directed every shot with confidence and kindness, gave clear guidance, and made everything feel natural and effortless. She created such a relaxed and positive environment that I genuinely enjoyed the entire photo taking experience, which meant so much to me. Her professionalism, creativity, and calm presence made a huge difference throughout the day. She kept everything organized while still allowing us to be present and enjoy ourselves. The final photos exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful to have such beautiful memories preserved forever. I highly recommend Holly D Photography to anyone looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented and truly cares about making your experience special from start to finish.

Meg is the perfect support to help plan and document your special events with. The atmosphere and locations Meg shares were exactly what were were looking for. Her energy and guidance made the day perfect. She's an expert at being invisible while still capturing so many natural and scenic photos. A main reason we went with Meg was how she conveyed reassurance through her website. We were very overwhelmed with the amount of decisions out there but after our first call with Meg, we were so comforted by her works and energy that we knew she would be more than just planning and photography.

  • Starts at $3,100
  • Serves Occidental, CA

I’m a wine country native and learned the photographic arts from my family. My early travels and studies in the art & humanities opened my horizons to culture and diversity, plus I'm of mixed ethnicity. I really enjoy photographing weddings, because it has influenced me in a variety of unexpected and good ways. Each wedding has their own uniqueness, personality, and beauty. My life experience in wedding, portrait, & event photography has been a very gratifying and fulfilling journey. I’ve been pro wedding photographer for over 15yrs, and I’m insured.

I couldn’t be happier choosing Marc to photograph our wedding! From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional and attentive, making sure he understood exactly what we wanted. He photographed our engagement photos too and even rescheduled at no extra cost when the weather was too foggy for the scenery we wanted. On the big day, Marc blended seamlessly into the background while capturing every precious moment beautifully. The photos are nothing short of spectacular—each one highlights the love and magic of the day and perfectly captures the emotion and joy we felt. We’ve received countless compliments on the quality of the images and how they captured each moment of our wedding. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented but also dedicated and passionate about their craft, I highly recommend Marc Blondin.

  • Serves Occidental, CA

I photograph real people in natural light and gorgeous settings, throughout Sonoma & Napa Wine Country, the Bay Area, and beyond. Using humor, connection, and my calm & warm energy, I work with a wide variety of people from all backgrounds and perspectives (even/ especially camera shy folks!). I gently guide couples through very natural moments together, to capture their individual and collective personalities, in the most beautiful, & honest, way possible.

You know how there are some people who you just get SO excited to work with whenever the chance comes up? Jessamyn is one of those very special people. We've known Jessamyn since 2008 when she did our engagement photos, followed by our wedding in 2009, and we've had the pleasure of working together numerous times since, including two maternity shoots, two newborn shoots and a family photo shoot in fall 2019. Jessamyn is a pro at making you immediately feel at ease in these very intimate moments in your life, whether it's your wedding day or your early (very sleep-deprived) days of parenthood. And because of this, it shows in the beautiful moments she organically captures in her work. We also love how creative she is - Jessamyn is always eager to brainstorm ideas for photo sessions over email and is great at riffing off of something that randomly happens during a shoot. Run, don't walk to hire Jessamyn - we're eternally grateful for all of the gorgeous photos she's captured of our family over the years that we have the joy of looking at every day along our staircase and throughout our home.

Gretchen Gause Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Occidental, CA

Inspired by everyday simplicities that could easily be overlooked, I'm in awe of the way we experience life; the way evening light falls on the road and on people's shoulders as they walk downtown hand in hand, and the soft way that the cool Russian River waters wrap around my ankles near the shore. I'm inspired by the vibrant and reaching pink vintage roses that bloom in spring on my walkway, and the way a sparkler in hand will always ignite wide eyed playfulness within.

Where do I even start? Gretchen did our engagement photos. I can't do justice to her incredible artistry (seriously, the most beautiful images I've ever seen -- so romantic and never cheesy). When I look at them they make me laugh, smile, and think, dang, my husband and I are hot! Besides the work itself, she was a dream to work with, keeping the mood light and fun and helping us feel authentic in what could have been an awkward experience-- not even close! Somehow she knew what to say to evoke real emotion, and it never felt like we were "posing". We will treasure these images the rest of our lives. I would jump at any opportunity to work with Gretchen again.

Zack Schomp Photography

  • Serves Occidental, CA

I was raised north of San Francisco in beautiful West Sonoma County. My wife and I moved back home after living in Oakland for a number of years, and are now raising our daughter in the home my wife grew up in - it's magical. I love finding new places to photograph in Sonoma County and beyond, and I love making new memories in the familiar places I know so well. Weddings make me giddy, and I can't get enough of that feeling. Besides photographing weddings and spending time with my family, I'm also a lecturer in photography at CSU East Bay. Teaching what I love is a true gift, and I'm grateful for this opportunity to share with my students.

We worked with Zach for our June 2025 wedding, and from the very first phone call he was incredibly thoughtful, curious, and genuine. He really took the time to get to know my husband and me, and to understand our story. What stood out most was how much he emphasized wanting the relationship to feel like a good fit on both sides: he genuinely cared about creating a collaborative experience, making sure we connected with his style and felt totally comfortable working together. Leading up to the wedding, Zach was super communicative and organized. He even took the time to meet us at our venue while we were in town and snapped a few surprise photos during the walkthrough. On the wedding day itself, he struck the perfect balance of calm and focused. He kept things light and fun while being clear and efficient, making sure we stayed on schedule and got every shot we wanted. We got our photos back so quickly, and they’re absolutely beautiful. Zach is not only incredibly talented, but also just a genuinely great person to have around on such a big day. He’s the kind of person you’d want to grab a beer with or have a deep life talk. All in all we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

  • Serves Occidental, CA

My father handed me a camera when I was 7 years old and told me to shoot, everything, everywhere. I have had a camera in my hands ever since. After 8 years in Los Angeles I chose family over Hollywood. I wanted my kids to have the childhood experience I had – trees, dirt, animals and nature. Once back in Sonoma County, I had the great fortune of apprenticing with an award winning wedding photographer. After several years of the work, I was hooked! It’s an honor being with people on one of the most important days of their lives. To tell the story of it. To capture the beauty, the excitement, the drama of it all.

I have hired Jade for personal and business events! I can't speak highly enough about her photography/videography skillset. She is amazing to work with and knows how to get that perfect shot. She is also great at coordinating and directing people which is key in capturing all the right moments. If you need a photograper/videographery look no further.

We've known Peter for years and have always been fans of his work. My husband and I are both super uncomfortable in front of the camera—we’re not traditional, and I personally hate being posed. Honestly, I didn’t expect much… but then Peter sent us teaser photos the very next morning, and I was completely blown away. The photos looked like art. He captured us in such a natural, beautiful way. Peter’s work is truly the best, and we are forever grateful.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

Before we knew it, we were laughing, being silly, and just having fun with what felt like an old friend. She asked us all the right questions that made us feel at ease and boy, did it show in the photos. TLDR? If you don't book her, you're missing out big time. I would 1000% recommend her.

I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish.
