My name is Makenzi but most people call me M.J. I am a Destination Wedding and Elopement photographer that travels all over the country to beautiful destinations to witness the greatest love stories! My photography style is warm, vibrant, and authentic. I love working with all different types of individuals (that become friends) and capturing some of the most unforgettable moments through my lens. I like to create a comfortable space for my clients to be completely themselves in order to capture candid moments that tells their story! My career is photography, but my passion is people.

MJ did our engagement photo shoot exactly how we visioned and exceeded our expectations! We felt so comfortable with her guiding us with poses and finding places on the site to take photos! She gave us a questionnaire before the photo shoot to know what our vision was and she nailed it! She even played music by our favorite artists to help us let loose and have fun! She sent over 50 sneak peak photos just two days after the photo shoot and they’re beautifully edited! I highly recommend booking her for your next photo shoot! She’s fast at responding and very professional!

I highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography based on the communication, organization, value, and most importantly, the final product. Gabriella was always very responsive and clear in the messages sent via the online portal when we had questions. I was a bit hesitant to book this vendor because I didn’t know anyone who’d used the company before, but I’m glad I did. We were lucky to get paired with Jared as our photographer and immediately felt comfortable with him on our virtual planning call. On the day of our wedding he was prompt and had plenty of ideas ready to go, but he was also very open to any ideas we had. He never made us feel rushed at all as you could tell he wanted to take his time to get the shots right. He was patient when necessary, efficient when necessary and always reminded us to let him know if any poses didn’t feel comfortable or natural. We didn’t have a second shooter but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at our photos as Jared managed to get great variety in the angles during the ceremony and reception. The photos are beautiful and we are looking forward to framing a few. We got the sneak peak within 2 weeks and the full photo gallery not too long after that. The only critique I have is that the florist we used was incorrectly tagged on the sneak peak instagram post, and wasn’t corrected even though I reached out via direct message and comment. The flowers were beautiful & the correct florist deserved the credit. Overall, I would definitely work with Sound Originals and Jared in particular again in the future.

Wyld Story | Outdoor Wedding Photo & Video 

5.0

San Clemente, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800

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
There were a lot of unknowns about our wedding. But one decision was easy; choosing Tucker and Alyssa to be our photographers. We have followed Tucker Horton Media on Instagram for a while before we got engaged and when we decided on a venue in southern California, we knew we had to reach out to our favorite Instagram photographers.   Their replies were quick, professional and their quotes were more than fair. We were particularly pleased to learn that engagement photos were included in the quote and took full advantage of that perk as well!   Engagement photos: One thing we loved about working with Tucker and Alyssa was how much space they gave us during our engagement shoot. With all the wedding planning in our heads, they could tell we needed a moment to relax before we could really get the pictures we wanted. Their patience and relaxed presence let us open up and capture some truly beautiful moments. Tucker can chase the light like no other and Alyssa fed us prompts when we were feeling awkward. The result was some really special moments both captured in photo, and felt by the both of us. And! The turn-around time for getting our photos back was way faster than we thought!   Wedding Day: To be frank, our wedding day was more hectic than some. Personalities clashed, and some things fell apart. Through that, Wyld Story found pockets of peace to capture some really beautiful moments and showed incredible grace under pressure.   The final pictures were beyond what we could have expected! One of which we actually turned into a 2000 piece puzzle and is currently hanging in our living room! When we went through the fullness of our wedding photos a couple weeks later, more than once we found ourselves saying, “Wait, that’s us???” just because some of the pictures were so spectacular.   One of the best parts of the Wyld Story package was being able to get a handful of sneak peak photos to pass around at dinner to all of our guests. That extra step was a way for us to keep the celebration going right after the ceremony and was an amazing surprise! We were also amazed at the number of photos we got of our guests that were taken while we were off doing other things. During our wedding day, we found ourselves pulled in so many directions as we interacted with all of our guests. After the wedding day, we got to relive different parts of our reception that we had initially missed and smile in the moments that our guests got to enjoy.

Ashley Strong Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

I am Ashley Strong Smith, the very passionate, sincere and grateful soul behind these very time capsules witnessed within this space. Although I’ve been shooting for over a decade, ASP launched full time in April of 2015 as an all encompassing business and became a Corporation - Strong Smith, Inc. in 2018. Since then, I’ve been beyond blessed to : - Document nearly 450 sessions - Document over a 100 weddings - Receive almost 250 FIVE STAR reviews on multiple platforms - Published nearly two dozen times

I highly recommend Ashley as your photographer. I first came across her work from another friends wedding, and I specifically loved her editing/the way she captured light in her photos! The photos we received did not disappoint. I've been struggling to narrow down which ones I want to print and frame in our home. I loved the app we received within a couple days that had a bunch of previews--more than enough options to choose from for an initial Instagram post! Ashley was so sweet to work with, and made sure to capture everything we discussed in our calls leading up to the big day. It was so fun going back through all the photos after and seeing how many group/family photos she was able to capture of our guests as well. I feel like the day was documented so well and we kept getting compliments from our guests about how great Ashley was. During our guest table photos she was so efficient, but also checked the photos to make sure no one was blinking etc. before moving on to the next grouping!

Diana and Isiah truly made our elopement one of the most incredible days of our lives. From the very first meeting, Diana and Isiah were nothing but helpful, responsive, and patient. We decided shortly before the wedding that we wanted to have night shots. Diana was able to provide us with some examples of her previous night shoots and helped us pick out the perfect location. The entire planning process was significantly easier with Diana’s assistance. She also checked in just enough to ensure we were feeling ready for the big day. Isiah was able to help us decide all of the big details for our ceremony and made it feel uniquely us. On the big day, we were so thankful for Diana and Isiah. As soon as they arrived for the getting-ready photos, my stress disappeared. Diana took all the shots that we wanted and was a true professional in setting everything up. Isaiah was our officiant and did an amazing job During and after our actual ceremony, both Diana and Isiah were lifesavers. Diana was able to get photos that weren’t overly posed and really felt like us as a couple. Isiah did an amazing job with our ceremony and was also there to assist with everything else, from helping us up steep rocks to carrying items for the photos. We are so thankful we went with Love and Latitudes for our elopement. We can’t sing their praise enough, and would pick them again in a heartbeat.

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

Hi, I’m Annie! Welcome to HoneyAnne Photography! I'm based in both Southern California and Virginia—sounds a little unusual, I know! My photography style combines the timeless elegance of editorial imagery with the heartfelt authenticity of documentary photography —each gallery is designed to feel like your favorite magazine spread or Pinterest board! I believe that everyone deserves beautiful, film-inspired photos that capture their story. HoneyAnne Photography was inspired by the golden warmth of honey. Much like the taste of honey is comforting and sweet, I want your experience with me to feel warm, inviting, and unforgettable.

It's been an amazing experience having Annie as our photographer. She helped with both the engagement and wedding photos. As someone who kept pivoting about what I wanted, she brought a lot of props to give us a lot of options for photo ideas. She also kept checking in on us to keep us updated on our planning, which I would consider going above and beyond. Her keeping on top of what kind themes we were looking for and sending us inspiration gave us confidence that we didn't have to check in on her, letting us enjoy our special day without worry. Thank you for letting us live in these memories for the beginning of our lives.

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Nadia and Gunnar! We met with them ahead of time at a local brewery and quickly learned that they would be a great fit. Their photography style is bold and beautiful, and the couple is very professional and easy to work with. It was so hard to narrow down our selection because there were soo many great shots! I can’t wait to work with them again some day! Highly recommend!

I am a documentary wedding photographer blended with an editorial approach, and I aim to capture those special moments naturally as they unfold. I'm inspired by the genuine affection my clients have towards each other and look to document & craft your wedding photos with a candid eye. I don't want to dictate your day but let you enjoy your day. I may suggest small things like shooting portraits when the light is perfect, such as when the sun is going down, or I'll suggest taking a moment to embrace your partner & remind you to be affectionate on your wedding day. It's how I ensure you get beautiful natural images full of emotion.

Jesus was our wedding photographer for our special day. From our first interaction, Jesus showed confidence in his experience as a wedding photographer. He took the time to understand what I imagined my wedding photos would look like that is how he carefully planned, & captured my wedding photos. Jesus arrived 1 week early before the wedding day to scout out locations, shared photos with us, and seamlessly incorporated them into our timeline. We felt like we not only had a talented photographer, but also a day-of coordinator who helped ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He made sure we not only captured the photos we would love but also took the time and went above and beyond to take care of us as people, offering to get water and making sure we had drinks or food. Ive never had an experience with another wedding photographer but I imagine its not a level of service thats common in the industry. The variety and quality of the final photos exceeded our expectations, and we are extremely happy to have such beautiful, and meaningful heirlooms from our celebration. We highly recommend Candid Moment Photo to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

Karen’s work is incredible! We watched the slideshow tonight with our daughter and it was perfect for story telling. Karen delivers more than just a file of photos, she delivers a story. With Karen’s well balanced guidance, energy, and peacefulness My husband and I were able to submerge ourselves in the present moment and truly feel like it was just the two of us. Thank you Karen for such a wonderful experience!

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves San Clemente, CA

I became a wedding photographer in a not-so-usual way. I remember telling my girl scout leader that I actually hated any arts & craft we did. Fast forward to many years of sports, and the pivotal moment of entering college, I switched to photography one semester in after realizing my current Marine Biology major was not for me and decided that was where I was headed. It landed me in wedding photography after a few classmates asked me to shoot their weddings. And since I’m a romantic and all…it was a perfect fit from the start. Something you should know about me is that I love all people, deeply. “Love your neighbor” is what I strive for.

Katie is one of the amazing few photographers I refer in Souther California. Her unique style and professionalism make her stand out above the rest. I love working with Katie any chance I get!
