Bedrosian Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (38 reviews)
Los Angeles, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves California

I’m Peter, the guy behind Bedrosian Photo. I photograph weddings, people, parties, emotion, chaos, and all the weird little moments in between. I care way more about honesty than perfection — the nervous energy before a ceremony, your drunk uncle on the dance floor, your grandma crying quietly in the corner, or the split-second look your partner gives you when they think nobody’s watching. Those moments matter more than anything staged ever could.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Bedrosian Photo was an excellent choice for our wedding photographer. Peter arrived early and stayed an hour late, and his communication was perfect throughout the process. I love his editing style, with plenty of posed and candid moments captured beautifully. He was not controlling at all, and made sure we took all the important photos we wanted while letting us enjoy our wedding day. We are so grateful for Peter's outstanding customer service and incredible photography skills. Bedrosian Photo truly helped make our special day even more memorable.”

Welcome! My name is Aryk, I’m a self-taught artist who built my skills from the ground up. My experience in photojournalism and street photography combined with my love of fine art are the foundation of my style. My approach to weddings is that of a documentarian and a witness. My couples are folks who value quality and intimacy, and want their wedding day illustrated with a unique album filled with artful candids, punctuated by breathtaking fine art portraiture.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Aryk is one of a kind. Our wedding was so beautifully captured thanks to them. As a wedding photographer myself, it was important for me to find someone that excelled not just in the technical aspects, but in the overall experience they provide their couples. Aryk always made me and Noah feel comfortable and listened to. They're sensible, communicative, professional, courteous, and always engaged. Always going with the flow, Aryk can adapt to change while still providing excellent results. We appreciated how Aryk's photography method provided us with a one-of-a-kind gallery: a blend of film and digital, all showcasing the genuine emotions I so desperately wanted captured, and in such a beautiful way. Our families and friends are STILL so in awe of the photos we came out with thanks to them. We love you Aryk!!”

San Jacinto, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,395

Last Minute Photoshoot is run by Stephanie and Son, a husband and wife team serving couples across Southern California. Our clients usually come to us because they want certainty. Whether it’s a surprise proposal, engagement, elopement, or courthouse wedding, we’re known for being thorough, responsive, and showing up when it matters most. Many of the moments we capture come together quickly, sometimes even last minute. Our role is simple: remove the stress, guide the plan, and deliver peace of mind so you can focus on the moment.

“I cannot say enough great things about Steph and Son. From the very start of my proposal planning process, they stood by me, discussed my ideas, and helped guide me to the perfect execution. Proposing in California while traveling from out of state seemed like a large undertaking, but the two of them were informative, patient, and most importantly genuinely caring about myself and my fiancé. This truly felt like a collaborative effort and not just choosing a basic photographer. I can’t recommend them enough to anybody for a proposal, or any other event in the SoCal area.”

Sacramento, CA
  • Classic style
  • Serves California

We thrive in the messy, beautiful moments—your mom helping you adjust your veil, tears during your vows, wild dancing and unplanned chaos. We're here to capture it all, not because it's easy, but because it matters. We don't ask you to pose; we let you be, and we document the real love unfolding. Your wedding day is unpredictable, and that's what makes it beautiful. We show up fully prepared, stay completely present, and make sure every meaningful moment is captured with authenticity and joy.

“Working with Sukanya Singh Photography was a game-changer for our wedding day. She did an amazing job with our engagement pictures, and doesn't shy away when the groom doesn't smile much. She definitely knows what needs to be captured and how. When a major storm hit during our reception, other vendors packed up and left, but Sukanya stayed put and captured those raw, unfiltered moments that turned out to be some of our favorite shots. Her patience throughout the day was evident, and she graciously adjusted our photo schedule to accommodate the weather without compromising the quality of her work. Her dedication to documenting our day, especially under challenging circumstances, set her apart. I'd recommend Sukanya to any couple looking for a photographer who shows up, both literally and figuratively.”

“WOW -- I can't begin to express what an awesome time we had doing family photographs with Katherine. At first i was hesitant because my family is high-energy but hard to wrestle down to sit still and grab a photo. :) We've been wanting to do this for years but never found the right time, person and place. I can honestly say Katherine brought that all together and created a very memorable experience for us. We live out of state, but I would honestly consider hiring and flying Katherine out for any of my photo needs moving forward! Her communication, technology and contractual processes were top-notch.

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I've never been so excited to review somebody in my entire life!!! We were so lucky to have Irina as our photographer. I cannot say enough how important it is that your photographer on your wedding day is just as wonderful as a person as she is a professional at what she does. A good photographer makes you feel comfortable and effortless behind the camera. Posing parents, siblings, wedding parties, flower girls, ring bearers, and the bride and groom coming together perfectly in a crazy short amount of time? You feel like it’s IMPOSSIBLE. It’s not! I’ve heard that weddings are always not on time. The truth is it’s more worth. The rings may be forgotten, the very important guest is being extremely late, and a lot of other reasons. Irina was super patient, she captured each and every photo I wanted without me even having to make sure that she did it. Her creativity, eye for perfection, and professionalism are unbelievable. The wedding day does by so fast, and it's important to have all the moments captured. My now husband and I could not have chosen a better photographer. Everyone at the wedding was talking about how great our photographer was. Irina introduced herself to every guest and family member at the wedding and made sure she got every guests’ picture which we are so grateful! We had so many out of state guests and wanted to remember every moment with them on our best day. If you are looking for pricing that makes sense, photographer who cares about the quality, your happiness on your wedding day, and feeling confident throughout that entire day and every time you look at pictures afterwards, then look no further!”

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
“From our first conversation, Randall de Leon made us feel confident in our choice. He stayed in touch with us leading up to the wedding and brought an energetic, creative energy to the day that made everything feel relaxed and fun. Randall was thoughtful about what we wanted as a couple and made sure we got the shots on our list, while also managing our two-year-old with patience and skill. His eye for candid moments was incredible—some of our favorite photos are the ones we didn't even know he was taking or ones we asked for. BookClub will be grateful for that photo forever!

My name is Sergio. My wife Desirée and I run LOVE by Sergirée together out of Los Angeles. I have been behind a camera for 15 years and weddings are where I do my best work. I shoot every wedding personally and edit every gallery myself, so what you see in our portfolio is exactly what you get. Desirée leads everything you cannot see, from the first email to the final album. Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony or a celebration with a full guest list, our approach is the same. Be present. Be honest. Let the moment unfold.

“LOVE by Sergirée photographed our wedding this past June and we could not be happier. Sergio covered our whole day, from the ceremony at the Old Brown House to dinner at De La Nonna and the karaoke afterparty, and he even rode the party bus with us between stops. He also did an engagement session with us in Highland Park a few weeks beforehand, which was a blast and got us comfortable in front of the camera well ahead of the wedding. The compositions and editing are gorgeous, but what really got us is his eye for capturing moments, some we didn't even realize were happening. Having all those little interactions, expressions, and details to look back on means everything. Beyond the photos, it was just delightful having him there. Our friends at Dinner Table #1 definitely lucked out. We couldn't have imagined a better person to document such a beautiful day, and if you're looking for a wedding photographer in LA, book Sergio.”

“Unmatched, epic, insanely talented artist and masterpiece! We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Julia Goldberg. From the very first email, zoom meetings, to the moment she arrived at our hotel the morning of our wedding to the very last minute eight hours later, she was the definition of professionalism, talent, and calm energy. Julia gave my husband and I our dream wedding day in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, direction, and posing skills made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and she somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making it so fun and natural. She was an absolute ROCKSTAR the entire day, anticipating moments before they happened and capturing them so beautifully and effortlessly. When working with her, you feel as if you’ve known her your whole life. Beyond her impressive talent, Julia is just an amazing person to be around. She is personable, friendly, kind, funny, and so outgoing—it honestly felt like we had a close friend by our side all day. That kind of presence made such a difference and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And the sneak peek photos… omg we were BEYOND blown away and I cried tears of joy and am still at a loss for words looking at them everyday! Receiving them in less than 48 hours was already impressive, but the photos themselves were beyond anything we could have imagined—stunning, romantic, emotional, and perfectly capturing the magic of our day. She is worth every penny and more! From the day I found her Instagram and website, I knew there was no other photographer I could use for our wedding. Whether you’re getting married at the iconic San Francisco City Hall, on a Safari in Africa, or under the northern lights, she has the itinerary mapped out to a T and gives you the resources to make your day absolutely seamless while always keeping you in the loop and making you feel important and valued. It was truly a dream come true to have Julia as our wedding photographer. We could not have had a more treasured and memorable day without her, and we will be forever grateful. 10000000/10 experience and I want to get married over and over just to have her shoot us again! Thank you again, Julia-you made my wedding dreams come true️”

“Madison was absolutely amazing to work with! I loved her editing style after finding her on instagram and had to reach out to her! She really made the entire process so easy. She was super communicative, incredibly sweet, and even offered a payment plan, which was such a help. We instantly felt comfortable around her, and her warm personality made all the difference. As part of our package, she included a complimentary photoshoot, which was such a thoughtful bonus. About a month after our wedding, she delivered over 800 beautiful photos (so hard to narrow it down to only a few for this post!), and even surprised us with a sweet personal gift. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, I can’t recommend Madison enough!”
