  • Serves Hercules, CA

Storytelling that's crafted with care - Timeless. Classic. true-to-life. My approach to photography is rooted in storytelling. While I absolutely love to capture the big, meaningful moments of the day, I'm equally drawn to the quiet in-between moments that often become the most treasured memories. My approach is designed to help you stay present with each other and your loved ones while I document your wedding day as it naturally unfolds. Of course, I'll provide guidance when needed, but my goal is never to pull you out of the experience—it's to preserve it.

“Sarah Fischback Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the start, Sarah was professional, attentive, kind and extremely organized. My sneak peak pictures are absolutely stunning - the photos are crisp, gorgeous and capture the natural beauty of our background as well as myself and my family in a beautiful way. Sarah had a detailed timeline for my entire day and although we got a bit off track, she did her best to get us back on schedule in a warm and kind way. At no point did I feel bombarded, as Sarah has a wonderful calmness, kindness and professionalism about her that allowed me and my wedding party to truly relax and enjoy the day. Sarah captured all the big and small moments, and I am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Sarah Fischback Photography for any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience on their wedding day. Book her and her team and you will be able to truly enjoy! My family and all my guests were raving about her!! Thank you so much Sarah and team for all your support and incredible work!!!”

“We not only worked with Natalie for our wedding, but also for our engagement shoot and our mini-ceremony a few months before the wedding, so we felt like we really got to know her and her shooting style. She's very kind and flexible about her vision and yours and is more than willing to work together with you to make your dream photos a reality. We chose her because we loved her photography style and her general demeanor during our first meeting with her. We liked that her photos remain true to color, with a little softening but not too much! Her direction for positioning was super helpful and felt natural. She was very accommodating of all requests, which made us feel heard and we love all of our photos! We had not planned to work with Pedro as well for our wedding, but extenuating circumstances meant he was with Natalie day-of. He's also very kind and accommodating and together they make a really great team! We would love to use them for any future photoshoots.”

My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

“Hiring Katherine was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Every single aspect of working with her was perfect: from the first phone consultation to engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, wedding, and every call, email, and question in between. Katherine makes you feel like you're talking to an old friend from the moment you meet her- she is warm, fun, funny, kind, and just knows how to put you at ease in front of the camera. We had a clear vision of what we wanted for our photos and she beyond exceeded our expectations. Every time I look through our photo gallery (which she delivered SO quickly) I find a new favorite, even 1.5 years after our wedding. She truly captured the feeling of being there from the intimate setting of our rehearsal dinner to the rowdy wedding reception. I cannot thank Katherine enough for being such a large part of making our wedding perfect!”

I strive to provide all my clients with expert photography services and an exceptional experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We searched and spoke with many photographers because we had a clear vision for our elopement, and it was important that our photographer truly understood it. Once we found Kin Photography, we immediately knew we were in the best hands. His communication style was organized, attentive, down‑to‑earth, and never pushy. He’s just an all around good guy and it was a pleasure working with him at every step of the way. We eloped in the high desert of the Eastern Sierras and wanted someone who could showcase the beauty of the landscape, not just take hundreds of close‑ups of our faces. Kin captured every special moment of our elopement day with incredible efficiency and an eye for detail that far exceeded our expectations. He genuinely understood & was excited about our vision. As someone who often feels awkward in front of a camera, I worried that would show in our photos. Kin eased all of our nerves by offering gentle direction and incorporating fun, creative ideas beyond the typical wedding poses. His passion for his craft is clearly evident, and it shines through in the quality of his work. The turnaround time for our photos was fast. When I saw our wedding photos online, I was speechless. They were stunningly beautiful. Our only challenge now is choosing which photos to print and display because there are so many gorgeous ones to pick from. I’m not sure how we are going to decide. Both sides of our family said the same thing. But that’s a good problem to have! Kin truly went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend him to any couple planning their wedding and especially recommend him for elopement couples. We couldn’t be happier with the service and product Kin photography provided. If we ever need a photographer again, there’s no question, we would certainly call Kin.”

Throughout the entire planning process, Marisa was always available to answer my questions, ease any concerns, and make sure I felt comfortable and confident. On the wedding day, she was so much more than our photographer. She was basically a second coordinator! She was by my side throughout the day, making sure I had everything I needed, helping everything run smoothly, and calming my nerves whenever I needed it. I genuinely don't know what I would have done without her! And the photos are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We have received so many compliments, and everyone keeps asking to see our pictures. She captured our special moments so perfectly, and we will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives. I am so incredibly grateful we had Marisa as our photographer. Not only is she unbelievably talented, but she is also such a kind, thoughtful, and supportive person who truly cares about her couples. She made our entire experience feel so special and took so much stress off my shoulders, allowing me to be present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. If you are looking for a photographer who will capture the most beautiful photos while also making you feel supported, calm, and taken care of throughout the entire process, BOOK MARISA!

I genuinely felt like we were in good hands the entire time and I’m grateful she was part of our day.

I'm Hannah, a full time wedding and portrait photographer in Livermore, California. To me, photography is so much more than just hiring another vendor. And that's why you should choose someone you truly love to work with! I believe the real magic happens during the in-between moments – a secret smile shared by the parents; a tearful hug with the maid of honor; a quirky moment with the best man. These memories are far more precious than any staged photo, and these are the memories I want to capture for you on your big day.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I cannot say enough about how happy we are we hired Hannah as our wedding photographer! Once I saw her work I knew we had to work with her immediately, specifically for the sunset photos that looked right out of a bridal magazine! I immediately reached out to Hannah and pretty much the rest is history! Our phone call to gauge if we would be a good fit was filled with laughs and it just felt so natural! She was extremely communicative and easy to work with which helped with all my wedding planning anxieties tremendously. The engagement shots with her was where we first got to meet and it felt like meeting a true friend. She had us laughing non-stop and made us feel truly comfortable. We felt awkward on our drive over, having never done professional photos before, but she immediately put us at ease! On the day of the wedding Hannah and her team were so kind, so efficient, and so professional! We had a large (read here rowdy) wedding party and some difficult family dynamics that they expertly navigated. Their team made sure everyone just truly was themselves and had fun! The pictures showed just how comfortable and happy everyone was in her presence. The photos truly captured the spirit of our big day and transport us right back there every time we look through them. Our family and friends we have shared the photos with are absolutely amazed and just how well they turned out and how much they feel like our big day did. I cannot recommend Hannah and her team enough! Truly the best decision we made!”

“I absolutely love working with Megan! Megan is a professional who is a joy to work with-reliable, talented, and fun. I have used her work to support social media for my small business, as well as for personal requests, such as real estate listing photos, family photos, and flower photography. The beautiful images are easy to transfer to different software programs. The crisp definition captured in the photographs displays flawlessly in print. Megan is multifaceted and a total asset to any photography project.”

I am an elopement and wedding photographer based in Northern California, who shoots for the fun quirky weirdos who are unabashedly themselves. I capture the perfection that you are while having a laugh and (almost assuredly) crying along while you read your vows. My name is Katelyn and I want to meet you!

“Katelyn photographed our engagement session and wedding day and I can't recommend her enough. My husband and I are not pros in front of the camera and she put us at ease from the jump. She approaches each session with a calm and collaborative energy that yields relaxed and natural photos. She was able to capture our day so authentically. Not only is she excellent on wedding day but she's responsive and organized leading up to it. She was diligent on creating and executing a shotlist and even added in some family portrait combinations that I missed on the first round. Her thoughtful process makes you feel like a priority and I knew my vision was safe in her hands. Her work is phenomenal and she's an absolute pleasure to work with.”

Hi, I’m Hayden! With over 300 weddings captured, I take a journalistic approach to photography, documenting authentic moments as they naturally unfold. I shoot with both film and digital to create timeless, heartfelt images that tell your unique love story. With a go-with-the-flow mentality, I will capture moments as they come and turn them into beautiful memories.

“Hayden was absolutely fantastic! Not only did he bring his own camera and film to contribute to the retro vibe of our wedding (photo attached), he worked perfectly with our friend and videographer to get some incredible shots of my wife and I. His demeanor and humor made it so much easier and more fun to take photos and really set us at ease. He posed us in such a natural way that didn’t feel awkward at all and the photos were absolutely stunning. To top it all off, he saw my groomsmen and I setting up chairs for the ceremony and he pitched in to help us carry them! I cannot recommend him enough, he’s the man.”

I'm a passionate photographer who finds joy in collaborating with creative minds to capture extraordinary moments. By day, I channel my expertise into high-quality construction work, while my artistic pursuits in photography allow me to explore my creativity and connect with others on a profound level.

“We were thrilled to have Van Holten Photography capture our special day. From the start, Will was efficient, prompt, and easy to communicate with, making the planning process a breeze. His work is impeccable - he is hardworking, detail-oriented, and has a truly unique creative eye. Will went above and beyond for us, surprising us with beautiful engagement photos after hiking to a remote location. He is an amazing photographer who clearly cares deeply about his craft and his clients. We could not have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding, and we highly recommend Van Holten Photography to any couple looking for stunning, personalized photos that will last a lifetime.”

I am an East Coast transplant wedding photographer based in the SF Bay area. I’m super laid back and kind of a goofball… I like to have fun during my photo sessions to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera!

“J. Lee Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day! The quirky and fun communication style made her super easy to talk to, and we felt at ease with her from the start. Not only did she include our engagement photos, but captured our wedding day beautifully as well. We received so many gorgeous photos back that we could hardly choose which ones to post - the value was incredible for the quality of the work. She was a pleasure to have around, and we even spotted her out on the dance floor with us, capturing all the fun moments. The guests and I loved having her there to document our special day. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend J. Lee Photography to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer.”

My name is Connie and I have been shooting weddings and portraits for over 15years. The goal for me is to give my client an heirloom of their wedding day to pass down to generations to come. As a young kid, I remember staring at my parents black and white wedding photos for a long time. It captivated me. I am very lucky to have those memories and that is what I want for my clients. I love capturing beautiful imagery through posing, beautiful light and when there isn't light, I like to create it. I can be a goof ball capturing the unexpected filled laughter. Come look at my work, and hopefully we can connect.

“Would highly recommend Connie to anyone I know that will have a wedding. She was very fun and is flexible of where you want photos taken. Her prices are definitely fair! Will never forget Connie for what she did for us at wedding.”
