We were so lucky to have Te Dua Weddings capture our special day. From the moment we first spoke with Enea, his communication style was filled with love and enthusiasm and he understood exactly what we wanted/were looking for . Enea and Hayley were a true joy to work with, making us feel cared for and appreciated throughout the entire process. I came to Enea with the idea of entering our Venue with a video rather than with a song. Him and Hayley both captured our engagement pictures and clips for our video. He presented a beautiful gallery of photos for us and then the video. Which was perfect to say the least! The quality of their work is simply outstanding and you can tell they put their love into what they do! We are so grateful to have such beautiful, timeless photographs as well as Video that perfectly preserve the magic of our wedding and Engagement. Te Dua Weddings truly was one of a kind, going above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot recommend them highly enough. We ran into issues 4 days before with our Photographer (We only hired Te Dua for Wedding day Video) and Enea was kind enough to offer pictures as well in between capturing for the video. He did something he wasn't hired to do and made our day that much less stressful. Cheers Enea & Hayley. We are forever grateful for you two!! I will for sure be re-hiring them for any future events and I would chose them Over and over and over again. Don't hesitate to look elsewhere, Te Dua Weddings, is the perfect choice! Enea, YOU OUTDID YOURSELF!! P.S. I even got my Cinderella moment and it was unplanned!!!

Hi, I'm Pao, the storyteller behind the lens for your wedding and engagement session. Originally from Colombia, I now reside in San Francisco with my husband and my cat. I approach each session with excitement and joy, putting my heart and love into every moment captured. My passion lies in preserving special moments and creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for couples.I am dedicated to ensuring that your wedding and engagement session is not only memorable but also a reflection of your unique love story. I look forward to working with you to create beautiful and timeless memories together.

Paola was absolutely amazing to work with! She stayed in touch with scheduled follow-ups leading up to the wedding, which made us feel so confident that every important moment would be captured. On the day itself, she was so pleasant, kind, and easygoing — she truly helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Posing can sometimes feel awkward, but she brought out such genuine smiles and made the whole experience feel natural and fun. When we received our photos (after just a few short weeks!), we were absolutely stunned by the quality and emotion in every shot. Each image feels like a favorite, and we can’t wait to look back on them for years to come. Don’t hesitate to book with her — you’ll be so glad you did!

We loved our experience with Julia. She was very good with her communication from the beginning. She started out with making sure she knew what we wanted from the shoot and then made sure we knew what things to bring so we'd be prepared for the shoot. Julia has a naturally open personality and it was fun to talk to her during the shoot. To finish it off, the pictures she gave back to us were absolutely gorgeous! 10/10 experience all the way through :)

I'm best known for my elegant and playful small weddings photographed at the iconic San Francisco City Hall throughout the last decade. After serving many hundreds of couples there, I've taken my super powers as a creative storyteller and solver of all wedding planning problems out into the wonderlands of Northern California. Inspired by places that are stunningly beautiful yet still affordable I love finding creative twists to keep her couples excited about their weddings no matter what their budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
I love this team so much already! They have been amazing to work with and have great communication skills from Rachel, Leza, Melika, Nora, and our officiant, Shawn. The whole process is so worth booking. As a busy couple, we needed an extra hand for our City Hall SF marriage. And they made our flowers just like we asked for! I am a social worker, and it is obvious that their team knows weddings and how to make sure the day flows smoothly. We had a snafu and the team helped us so much. I will post more of the review after my photos are sent as well. We had a fantastic day at City Hall on 10/31. Here is a cell phone photo I last min asked for :) Dog friendly is always a plus.

Helena Wong Photography

San Francisco, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,200

My name is Helena, pronounced Ha-Leen-nuh (don't worry I get it all the time haha) I am a San Francisco native and ex-Silicon Valley techie who decided to take leap of faith (during the pandemic) to pursue my dreams of being a full-time Wedding Photographer. This journey has been SO wild, but I don't regret a minute of it. When you hire me, you hire not only a photographer, but a planner and a cheerleader as well ;) If you like dogs or cats, coffee (oat milk lattes FTW), thriving plants, outdoor adventures, dancing, and sunsets, I think we'll get along great ;)

I can’t say enough great things about Helena! We found her by briefly searching through Instagram and were in awe of her work. What stood out from the start was her unique ability to capture the happiest of moments, nothing ever looking staged or forced. She was so incredibly responsive right away! I proceeded to “interview” Helena and from the first phone conversation she put me at ease. I had “interviewed” at least 5-6 other photographers, and kept coming back to her galleries. On the day of our scheduled shoot, the Bay Area fire season led to some unpredictable issues - air quality, smoke and hazy sky. Helena worked with us through changing the original location two hours before the shoot and her positivity never skipped a beat. Throughout the photoshoot, it felt like we were hanging out with a close friend - Helena has a true talent for making people feel comfortable! She directed us through the process and contributed to many laughs along the way. Her beautifully captured photos were delivered in such a quick manner - I’m honestly stunned, don’t know how she does it! Thank you, Helena. We will be sure to work with her again in the future!

I created A Girl and A Camera Photography in 2008 but have been around cameras my whole life. My Dad was a photographer so I learned from the best. Some people craft amazing stories in written word, others tell beautiful tales with music. I take pictures. Photography is my voice.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let it be known that you THINK you have an idea of how your day will go. You trust in all of your planning. You trust in your wedding coordinator. You trust in your family and friends. What they don't tell you is, at least from my experience, your PHOTOGRAPHER is the one who actually guides you through the day. You look to them through every moment. They let you know what's coming next. They're the ones who ultimately keep you calm and on schedule. Even through unexpected mini catastrophes, LOL. They're the ones whose energy you will feed off of, and the one who will stick with you. As you move through the day, and as you look back on it. Jennifer was absolutely amazing beyond words. Her calm and helpful demeanor, understanding and gentle, but confident and reassured. Jennifer's guidance throughout the day kept me sane and confident too, and ultimately able to live in every moment and just enjoy the day as it unfolded. And oh my god, the PHOTOS!! When we were searching for a photographer, I told my family and friends that if we booked A Girl and A Camera Photography, I would know that I wouldn't have to have a concern in the world about our photos. I would KNOW that we didn't have to worry, and that they would come out stunning. That's how amazing her portfolio is. And man, I was so right! Jennifer was able to creatively guide us through gorgeous portraits, and her abilities brought to life such stunning posed and candid shots alike, of us and of our loved ones. The way she uses light, and has the ability to frame and capture moments and emotions so incredibly, beautifully, and purely. I just can not gush enough! She even put together an absolutely STUNNING sneak peek slideshow of our photos before the big drop, and words literally can not express how perfect it was. I was sobbing, and just so full of emotion getting to play back all of those incredibly special moments and beautifully captured memories. Seriously, do yourself a favor and hire Jennifer! I just KNOW that you will not be disappointed. She is the BEST!

I've been photographing weddings throughout the SF Bay Area since 2010, and am a preferred photographer for several venues. Couples trust my straightforward approach, how I keep the day smooth and running well, and have an incredible eye for every tiny detail. When we work together, you'll get captured moments that you'll be excited to frame and show off for years to come.

Tldr: Oscar is a detailed, personable and experienced photographer that we'd highly recommend for wedding photography. Oscar did more than photograph our wedding. He made sure we had a lovely first look location, private and away from everyone, and was practically a second coordinator, wrangling our bus driver to City Hall and helping us stay on schedule while practically shooting two sets of pictures in the limited time we had at SF City Hall. I think his pictures speak for themselves. They really capture an ethereal quality to venues that almost feels like you're really there. We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out.

Although I love photography in every form, photographing weddings has been particularly special for me. To see happy couples fulfill their dream of meeting their special person, and spending the rest of their life with them. To have the honor of capturing that is a blessing.

We hired Grace for our wedding and were blown away by her professionalism and artistry. Communication was clear from the start, the timeline was organized, and she guided us effortlessly through portraits while still keeping the day relaxed and enjoyable. The final gallery exceeded our expectations — crisp, beautifully composed images with a perfect balance of candid and posed shots. Her attention to detail and ability to capture emotion is exceptional. We would confidently recommend Grace to any couple looking for high‑quality, elegant wedding photography.

Randall de Leon Photography

  • Serves San Francisco, 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! **
