·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Riverside, CA

The moments you remember most aren’t usually the ones that were planned. My approach is documentary-driven and unhurried, focused on connection, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that tend to mean the most later. I work best with couples who value presence over perfection and want images that feel honest, intimate, and timeless. Whether your day is big or small, traditional or unconventional, my goal is to create space for you to be fully yourselves — and to tell your story as it naturally unfolds.

Sharyce is without a doubt one of the best humans to have part of your wedding day. She is calm and collected and gets her stuff done with ease. We are so lucky to have found her and shared our day with her. Our photos are beautiful and they’re only just the sneak peaks so far! My wife and I are so excited to sit together in a few months from now and reminisce on all of the lifelong memories Sharyce captured for us

We are a team of photo & video. Our work isn’t about forcing a vibe; it’s about translating who you really are into images that feel familiar, honest, and grounded. Servicing Southern California, we don’t just show what happened — we show what mattered.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn't recommend MissySure Photography more. I was in a car accident the day BEFORE my wedding day. I sprained my knee and got a second degree burn on my left hand. Not only was MissySure Photography kind, professional, and personable but they also made sure I was comfortable and allowed me take as many and as long of a break I needed. When we got the pictures back we were in love. They came out beautifully and you'd never know I burnt my hand. Her communication was prompt, thorough, and personalized, making the entire process seamless. We were sent a google poll document which allowed us to really tailor what kind of photos were important to us. We decided to elope within the month and MissySure Photography took the time to make sure we understood the process, what to expect, and how many hours was realistic for what we wanted. Day of the team was amazing. Missy was great at giving direction and posing us and making us feel comfortable behind the camera. We were able to take photos with friends, family, and even go to a second near by location because we weren't rushing. Im so thankful we were able to book MissySure Photography for our special day.

I'm Mariela, a traveling Elopement + wedding Photographer. I live in Riverside, California, and have traveled and explored since pursuing my photographic journey for over 15 years. I am intentional and detail-oriented with my work, as much as I am carefree, easygoing, and fun with my couples. I tell my couples "adventure is relative". You don’t have to summit anything, or log in miles. Just being there — at the base of the world’s largest trees in Kings Canyon, or watching the sunset at Taft Point at Yosemite, or standing in the desert silence of Joshua Tree — that IS the adventure. Your version of adventure, told honestly. + LGBTQ Friendly

I love working with Mariela, she is the sweetest most creative photographer I know. Her style and eye for detail is wonderful. Her passion shows in her final cuts.! Her unedited work is even great itself, if you haven’t seen any BTS (behind the scenes) shots of her, it’s incredible the lengths she goes for that perfect shot.! I’d highly recommend her to any client asking for photography.

Documentary-inspired wedding photography for couples who value honest moments, timeless imagery, and photographs that feel like home. My approach is very candid and story-driven, focused on capturing the little in-between moments that often end up meaning the most. The blurry dance floor photos, happy tears during vows and all the beautifully imperfect moments that make your wedding feel uniquely yours. I’ve always been drawn to nostalgia and the way photographs can instantly bring you back to a feeling. More than anything, I want your gallery to feel warm, personal and full of life. Like memories frozen in time.

Nancy was amazing to work with and honestly felt more like a friend than just our photographer. She made us feel comfortable right away, kept things relaxed and she somehow made being in front of the camera actually fun and not forceful or awkward. Throughout the day, she captured so many genuine moments without ever making things feel overly posed When we got our photos back, we couldn't stop looking through them. Every image felt so natural and brought us right back to how the day felt. We're so grateful we found Nancy and highly recommend her to everyone who is looking!

Summer was so patient at every twist and turn and encouraged us to hold a Minimony. With her help, and suggestions of wonderful vendors, we got married. A small intimate wedding, following all the current restrictions of coarse, and it was MAGICAL. We had the best day and it actually probably better then we originally planned.

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.
