Zara was great from the very first day I reached out to the time I received my pictures. The quality of her work was amazing, even better than expected. Zara was not only a photographer, she was also asking if I needed any additional help. She was also keeping in touch up to the night before our special day to make sure everything was ready to go! Overall, I had an outstanding experience with her. Thank you so much for being part of our special day, Zara!

Carmelisse Photography

Hi I'm Carmelisse. I'm an intimate wedding & elopement photographer based in Los Angeles. I have a gift for making people comfortable and seeing the beauty in all diverse people. I want nothing more than to tell your love story right.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wedding Veterans will tell you that your photographer really sets the tone of your wedding. They are much more than just the person that takes pictures. They take the time to understand who you are as a couple and the story you want to tell and really how you'll look back on your wedding day for years to come. Carmelisse was that and more for us. From the moment we saw her photos from mutuals' weddings we knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding. In our first meeting, it felt like talking to a long-time friend and it was an easy decision for us to put all our trust in her and her team. She was the first person we hired after our wedding planner. We actually contacted her the month after we got engaged in 2021 but her 2023 book wasn't open yet. After conversing via text and email for months, we met her for the first time during our engagement shoot and she captured us and our dogs perfectly (YES, she capture our anxiety-ridden GSD mixes with smiles and they stood still, and the doggos absolutely fell in love with her husband, THANKS REX!!) She helped us pick the area and with putting together comfortable poses. Her turnaround time was so reasonable, the photos are just plain awesome. I have a hard time putting into words how great they are but I literally tear up with happiness every time I look through my album (which I still do ALOT). For the wedding day, Carmelisse and John kept us hyped and on schedule. A lot of things happen on the wedding day and Carmelisse was already ready to help us adjust and adapt. She captured all of our memories so beautifully. I can't stop singing her praises for her work and her as a person. She truly cares and it is seen through her work and her actions on the wedding day. AND Carmelisse is so stinking great - I went through a health scare the morning of my engagement shoot, I was trying to power through because I was afraid of canceling late but all Carmelisse cared about was that I was ok and she immediately rescheduled without additional thought. Carmelisse will be our forever photographer and we want her to shoot all of our future milestones. After our wedding, so many of our friends and family have already added her on Instagram for the future when she can shoot their wedding or life event.

Mirage and Light Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
Long Beach, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

My husband and I cannot rave enough about how amazing Amanda is as a photographer!! We live in NYC and had our wedding in southern California, so it was extra important for us to find someone who was professional and responsive. Amanda was both right from the beginning, and she made all the preparations very easy for us. We first met her in person to take our engagement photos, and we felt like we bonded with Amanda right away. We both feel awkward in front of a camera, and Amanda was a pro at helping us to relax and look natural in the photos. And her photos from our wedding are absolutely stunning! She did an incredible job capturing the natural light of our outdoor venue and all of the special moments, big and small, from the day. We are so, so happy with our photos, and with the wonderful memories Amanda helped us create. The icing on the cake is that Amanda puts personal touches on everything that she does and provides, and it's clear she loves her job. It's not a stretch to say I recommend Amanda every chance I get, and although we don't live in southern California, I genuinely hope we'll have more opportunities to work with Amanda again. Thank you, Amanda - you're a treasure!

Hey there, I'm Rick! I'm a wedding, family, and portrait photographer based in Long Beach, California, shooting across LA and Orange County since 2018. My work blends stylized editorial portraits with real, documentary moments depending on what the day calls for. My editing is clean and natural: accurate skin tones, true to life color, and timeless. I also love black and white for the moments that hit harder without color. No need to overthink it. Just be present, enjoy the day, and I'll handle everything else. I'd love to meet you!

My husband and I are beyond grateful that we chose Rick to capture our wedding and engagement photos! He was such a pleasure to work with and is so incredibly organized, friendly, and helpful with posing and capturing our authentic selves. Our photos are breathtakingly beautiful and that comes from Rick's magic behind the camera. I recommend him to all my friends and will be a lifetime customer as he does family portraits too!

Sarahi Photo

Long Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

Sarahiphoto crew did an amazing job! They captured all the photos I wished for and even some I was not expecting. The team was very professional and friendly, which made being photographed very easy.

Erin Paris Portraits 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Long Beach, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000

Weddings are rare opportunities to create meaning and magic for ourselves and the people we love, and that belief sits at the heart of my work. I take a holistic approach, starting with who you are and what you value, then helping shape a day that feels as beautiful as it looks, in whatever way is right for you. While photography is my focus, my background includes planning, coordination, and officiation, giving me a deep understanding of how weddings truly unfold. This perspective enhances every style of wedding, from timeless traditions to thoughtfully non-traditional celebrations.

Hiring Erin as our engagement and wedding photographer was the best decision I made (aside from my groom, of course!). I can’t begin to describe the care with which she approach every conversation and every detail. We worked together for months before the big day to refine decor and ensure that my vision came to life. And even with all that time and effort, the end result was better than I could’ve ever imagined. Erin will feel like part of the family, blending in with your loved ones, eliciting genuine smiles and laughter, and perfectly capturing the love that reverberates through the room. And as incredibly talented as she is behind the lens, she is an even better human being. Stop searching - if you’re reading this, you have found the wedding photographer of your dreams.

Hi!!! Again I’m so glad you’re here. So when I’m not shooting what am I doing with my time? Being from southern california, I spend A LOT of time at the beach, beach bum for life. I have crazy love for road trips, traveling, camping, hiking, adventuring to Catalina Island (my second home) I’m kind of an adrenaline junkie, want to bungee jumping or skydiving? Lets go! Korean bbq and sushi are the way to my heart, I’m not kidding I can probably eat it every day.

Kristina Lee Photography

Long Beach, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved every minute with Kristina! She traveled to Arizona to shoot our engagement photos and she came all the way to Jamaica to shoot our Wedding. She has such a creative way of capturing the beauty of a single moment so effortlessly. I know, years from now when I see these photos, my heart will still race the way it did that day. For that, I will be forever grateful! When you think about it, there's very little remaining of your wedding day. The flowers have gone, the guests have flown home, you are back at work. About the only thing that remains is the photos, so I think it is a great investment to get the absolute best, and for that I would recommend Kristina Lee Photography every time!

I live in Long Beach with my husband, and our beautiful dog-daughter Rita. If I'm not photographing my incredible clients, I'm watching any entertainment I can, from the latest HBO shows or movie releases. But, there's nothing better than drinking a beer and laughing at some quality reality television if you ask me! I also love reading while drinking coffee in the morning, but nothing tops hanging with my friends and family, enjoying some drinks and sharing some laughs.

My Fiancé and I got the chance to work with Kathy for our engagement pictures at Disneyland! It was extremely hot that day and super crowded, but that never even phased her. I was so impressed with her ideas of capturing us together. She has so much patience to take the time to capture the shot just right before we went on to the next site. We received our pictures in a week and we love them all, it’s extremely hard to just pick one as our favorite! Currently she offers custom albums what we can’t wait to order and have forever! We loved working with Kathy and can’t wait to see her at our wedding!

Hi you guys, my name's Natalie, & I'm so glad you're here! I’m a joy-filled, Southern California surfer girl who is in love with capturing weddings.  My style? It’s timeless, romantic, adventuresome, & personal. I’m dedicated to capturing fine elegance + raw beauty all the while keeping it real + being authentic. Your job is to be in love & live in that excitement with each other. My job is to make it easy + enjoyable for you two to be yourselves, 100%, as I frame and capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments in a way that only my mind can. Congratulations to you both! Looking forward to getting to know each other! xx Natalie

Natalie is the most professional, genuine, and talented wedding photographer. I promise you that you cannot and simply will not find a lovelier, more generous, or more brilliant person to help you sidestep stress and make the wedding planning process and wedding day a joy. At our wedding, three different people asked me if I'd later share her contact information with them for whenever they got married. Just think about that for a moment: three people were so blown away by Natalie's warmth, energy, and beautiful, bubbly personality that they would hire her on the spot without having yet seen her stunning work and even though they weren't engaged. Natalie's smile brightens up an entire room, and she has a truly remarkable way of making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. She'll make you laugh, she'll keep your energy up, she'll capture the moments you dreamed would one day hang on your walls, and most of all, she will make you feel like your day, your marriage, and your love are the center of the entire world. This gift of her presence and love is extraordinary, and I promise you that it extends beyond anything you could ever hope or expect to receive from any wedding vendor. I cried when she sent us our photos because they are so profoundly beautiful and so full of the true emotion that she naturally drew from even the most reserved of our family members. Every photo was so natural and full of light and joy. Natalie has so much talent, and if you're one of her brides you'll quickly realize how lucky you are to have someone care so deeply about you and about capturing your special day. Before our wedding, Natalie spoke with me over email and on the phone, sent a thoughtful questionnaire to help us articulate our aesthetic and photography hopes, sent a quick engagement gift, and even checked in over text to make sure I was doing well the week before the wedding. After the wedding, she sent cute thank you gifts and GORGEOUS photos (you will love yours too!). But my favorite memory will always be from our wedding day when she took a moment to dance with my shy 5 year old nephew and draw him out of his shell so he could enjoy the party. The huge smile on his face will always be one of my most precious moments of our wedding day. My nephew, like so many of our guests, still ask about Natalie all the time. It was a pleasure to work with Natalie and to get to know her, and I hope you too will be fortunate to experience Natalie's light, love, and unparalleled talent.

My journey with photography began in 2012, sparked by a deep love for capturing moments that matter.

On the day of the wedding, Susana's passion for her craft shone through as she expertly captured all the special moments. Looking back at the beautiful photos, we're so grateful to have had Susana there to help make our day truly memorable.

Vanessa was always quick to respond, thoughtfully answering all of our questions and making us feel at ease throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, Vanessa’s warm and inviting presence helped capture the true feel of our celebration. She had already shot our engagement photos, so by the time the big day arrived, she felt like a member of our family. She went above and beyond, helping with little details and ensuring every moment was perfectly preserved. The final photos are absolute perfection, truly capturing the love and joy we felt on our wedding day. We are so grateful to have found Golden Vibes Photo and cannot recommend them highly enough!!!

At the heart of everything I do is the belief that art has the power to transform and connect. Whether I’m photographing a couple on their wedding day, or a performer in the spotlight, I bring the same commitment: to seek out beauty, truth, and the story that deserves to be remembered. My style blends authenticity with artistry, capturing both grand milestones and quiet, fleeting moments. Beyond photography, I’m a musician, theater artist, and yoga teacher—creative practices that fuel my vision behind the lens.

Amal’s work is stunning, she has an incredible eye for detail and captures the most meaningful moments with such elegance and ease. What sets her apart is how invisibly she moves-- you almost forget she is there! Her photos feel alive and authentic, never forced, and she has a way of making people feel completely at ease. Highly Recommend!

I love colorful, full of fun, romantic, true-to-you weddings! A little about me, Ariel! I can't live without love, beautiful in-season flowers all over my house and adventure. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings for the past 10 years; over 200 weddings!

Ariel shot my husband and I's Long Beach art district engagement session and our Joshua Tree anniversary shoot. I wasn't lucky enough to have Ariel photograph my actual wedding, but hopefully, you will be able to swoop her up because she is a gem! The testament to a great wedding photographer isn't just that they capture beautiful photos, but that they communicate and listen to you as a couple and make you feel at ease. Ariel is incredibly professional and makes sure she understands what you want out of your images, while also bringing her expertise and experience to capture those special moments that will bring you joy. You are in safe hands with Ariel if you're not comfortable in front of the camera or are afraid of looking awkward because she takes the time to help bring out that natural smile and loosen you up. I know this because I'm a self-proclaimed adorkable person who can get super awkward in front of a camera, and Ariel has a way of gently suggesting a better angle/shot or inspiring a more natural smile. She doesn't just click a button but is looking at the photo she is capturing to ensure she is snapping a beautiful image. Ariel also doesn't heavily treat her images with dramatic filters. She just brings out the beautiful colors and light of the day. If you want simply beautiful images, Lark & Lavender is the way to go! When you hire Lark & Lavender, you're not just hiring a wedding photographer but a creative artist who has a vision for capturing every beautiful and memorable moment of your day, plus she just makes you instantly feel relaxed and at ease which is essential on what can sometimes be a very stressful day.

Welcome. I appreciate that you are interested in learning more about me!! My name is Mary Claire (and yes, it's both names, sorry), but plenty of people just call me MC. I have been photographing weddings southern California over a decade now. I grew up in Orange County, went to CSUF to study photojournalism, and have been based out of Long Beach for the past five years, where I live with my handsome fiance and our adorable Golden Retriever, Theodore!

I’ve known Mary Claire since I was 15, back when we used to take photos together just for fun. Over the past 15 years, I’ve watched her grow into the incredible photographer she is today and I knew without a doubt that I had to have her capture our wedding day. Mary Claire is truly gifted. She has a natural ability to make anyone feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, and her eye for detail is unmatched. Her editing is beautiful, timeless, and made every single photo look absolutely perfect. I am beyond happy with our photos, they are everything I dreamed of and more. I would recommend Mary Claire to absolutely anyone looking for a talented, kind, and exceptional photographer.
