Loes Takes Clips 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves San Francisco, CA

I'm a photographer who loves, love and being able to share that through my lens is what drives everything I do. I have a deep adoration for storytelling and capturing the authentic, unscripted moments that matter most. I believe every love story is unique, and my goal is to bring excitement, ease, and a calming presence to your most important day. With a passion for preserving real emotions and meaningful memories, I aim to capture photographs that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

Logan has been a good friend of mine for years, so asking her to photograph our engagement shoot was a no-brainer for me. Her natural ability to bring any vision to life, mixed with her unwavering work ethic, is what sets her apart. I can tell her one idea I have, and she will effortlessly create something better than I could have ever imagined. We have a 1965 Corvette in our family that I thought would be cool to use as part of our shoot. I trusted her to tell us where and how we could incorporate it, and she brought our vision to life. She goes above and beyond, even standing in the middle of the road in Carmel-by-the-Sea as cars try to pass, to bring that vision to life. Also, we are far from naturals in front of the camera. I always rely on Logan to give us ideas for how to create movement and relax. Working with someone so kind and able to make you feel comfortable is crucial, because it not only creates an outcome you will love, but you will have fun doing so as well.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such a great experience with Original Weddings! They handled both our wedding photos and video, and I was honestly so impressed with how everything turned out. They offer three different editing styles plus black and white, which I loved! I ended up choosing all four and it gave us such a great variety of looks and really captured all the different moments and vibes from our day. I’ll add a few photos in the three different styles so you can see the differences! They were easy to work with, professional, and made us feel comfortable the whole time. We also got our photos and video back super quickly, faster than their average turnaround, which was such a nice surprise. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I’ll cherish it forever. Highly recommend!

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!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
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

Annalee did such an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! My husband and I are both very awkward in front of the camera but our worries quickly faded away because of Annalee's professionalism, kindness, and creativity. Annalee was with us for 12 hours and she kept a smile on her face and did not complain once. She navigated overbearing family members, Facebook Live aunties, and the general chaos of TWO wedding ceremonies in one day. Her work is so breathtaking as she took advantage of the colors, scenery, and general beauty of our wedding. We are truly thankful for Annalee for capturing our day with such beautiful photos. She is so incredibly talented and we wish that we had another big event just so we could work with Annalee again! We were so lucky to have found Annalee as she was one of the best vendors we have ever worked with. If you hire her, you will not be disappointed.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

We’re Apollo Fotografie. When it comes to visual storytelling, we don’t miss a beat. We prioritize organization, punctuality, and beauty so your wedding day looks better than your dreams. At Apollo, inclusivity is one of our core values, and our couples come from all backgrounds. We know that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, and we’re here to help. All of our photographers use prompts and suggestions to encourage natural interactions for a less “scripted” feel.

When planning for our June wedding in Mendocino, we knew we had to get the perfect photographer, someone who could really capture the beauty of the coast and all of the vibrant colors that come along with it. After viewing tons of portfolios, Apollo's work really stood out from the rest. We loved everything we saw, from their ability to capture motion, their framing, to their vivid presentation of colors. We immediately hopped on a call with Liv, and she was super clear and up front about the whole process, which was very helpful for a couple like us who have never hired a professional photographer before. Many months before the wedding, we worked with Andra for our engagement shoot and it couldn't have gone better! Both my fiance and I are not used to being in front of the camera, so we were definitely anxious about the whole ordeal, but Andra assuaged our fears instantly. She led us around Buena Vista park and picked out the best locations with the most magical lighting like a hawk. After feeling how comfortable we were with Andra taking our photos and seeing how beautiful they came out, we were both so much more confident and excited about our wedding to come. For our wedding weekend, Andra came up to Mendocino and captured both our Chinese tea ceremony/wedding games and the wedding itself. Andra was super punctual and always at the right place at the right time. She was always where the action was, even getting a photo of my fiance catching a random bird that flew into the house! On the day of the wedding itself, Andra and her team made both the bridal party and groom's party feel comfortable, and took some of the most breathtaking shots of us on the coast. After the ceremony, she was able to get everything we wanted: candid shots of pure happiness, photos with various permutations of family and friends, and moments on the dance floor after dinner, where Andra's photos serve as a more accurate record of events than our own memories. Earlier than expected, we got an email with some teasers and we were amazed! We showed them to our friends and family and they were equally blown away with how they turned out. It definitely left us super excited for the full album! Overall working with Andra and the team was fantastic. Great communication, no logistical overhead, fun and compassionate team, and beautiful memories captured perfectly. Apollo really has the best wedding photographers in the Bay Area, and we are so glad we were able to have them come up to Mendocino to take our photos. The moments Andra and the team captured for us will live with us forever. Every time we see them, we can't help but to smile!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Vivi's photography team for my wedding at San Francisco City Hall, and I can't express enough how incredible the experience was. From our initial conversation, I was impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. On the big day, I was extremely nervous, especially after a mix-up led us to the wrong floor just 30 minutes before the ceremony. But Vivi stepped in and took charge, managing everything flawlessly. She made sure every detail was perfect, from organizing the procession to adjusting my dress and setting up the perfect shots. The photos turned out to be beyond anything I could have imagined. Vivi captured all the moments I hoped for, with every shot full of life and emotion. Even my friends were amazed by the quality of the photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a photographer, stop your search right now — Jasmine is simply the best. She was referred to us by a close friend with impeccable taste, and wow… she exceeded every expectation. Our wedding came together in less than two months (which was chaos in itself) and on top of that, she had to deal with two stressed-out gays — but somehow, Jasmine made the entire process effortless. She is incredibly flexible, knowledgeable, and just brings this calm, confident energy that instantly puts you at ease. I was lucky enough to have her shoot our wedding ceremony and I still can’t get over how amazing the photos turned out. Every shot looks straight out of a movie — I honestly don’t know how she does it. She’s detail-oriented, organized, and has this eye for capturing the little moments that matter most. After seeing how beautiful our wedding photos were (which we’ll cherish forever), I asked her to photograph my post-bachelor party — and of course, she delivered again. Beyond her insane talent, Jasmine is just a joy to be around. So easy to work with, so responsive, and she makes everyone feel comfortable. Hiring her is not just hiring a photographer — it’s an investment in your memories. I’ll be recommending her to all my friends and family. She’s outstanding.

Hello, my name is Valentina! I am founder and lead photographer of "Cosmopolit Photo & Video Team". I have been photographing couples and their happiness for more than 12 years. Our clients are people who value keeping their family history for many years, and we’re happy to help them. In our work we stick to core principles - true emotions and natural posing - to catch the perfect moments. We provide not only photo and video. We are giving you a timeless result - your wedding memories.

What is the key for stunning wedding photos? Photographer's skills! And it manifests itself not only in the ability to “hold a camera in your hands” but also, and no less important, in the ability to work with people, to be a psychologist. You have both of these essential skills! We even enjoyed the process of posing because our photographer managed to create an absolutely relaxed atmosphere: we joked, fooled around and kissed - we were ourselves, and as a result, we got a beautiful and candid photos. P.S: And after the event, it was easy to contact you, you promptly answered questions and fulfilled all our requests. Highly recommend!

Ozan Ulucan Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Ozan, his communication was comprehensive, outgoing and clear. It was evident he has a creative, artistic eye that would capture our day in a unique way. On the wedding day, Ozan arrived early and hit the ground running, snapping photos right away and keeping up the energy and pace throughout the entire event. His experience shone through as he was comfortable facilitating numerous group photos and offering great suggestions on positioning. Ozan also scoped out the venue ahead of time and brought us to multiple spots for one-of-a-kind photos we hadn't even thought of taking on our own. The final edited photos were delivered quickly after the wedding, and the quality was truly professional and a cut above the rest. We received so many photos organized by different times during the wedding including getting ready, ceremony, portraits, family portraits, reception, night, and details including photos of our venue, flowers, and place settings.

My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started working with Cassie, it felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. Cassie is so thoughtful, patient, and funny- and we got to experience that multiple times when we connected with her for our photography. We truly believe that her vision and personality is what makes her photos feel so authentic and filled with light love. As awkward people anxious about taking photos, we were so relieved how Cassie made us feel comfortable from the beginning of our engagement session. She was able to somehow fade into the background, while also guiding us and capturing genuine moments. We loved that photo session so much that we ended up hiring her for our welcome dinner as well! Cassie was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, making sure to get a list of our important shots ahead of the wedding while working closely with our planner to make sure there was a clear schedule. This meant that we could be as present as possible on our wedding day. On the big day, Cassie honestly felt more like a part of the wedding rather than simply a vendor. She knew how to make everyone comfortable, made sure the bridesmaids and groomsmen were having fun, and made the day feel natural for us. We got all of the wedding photos we wanted, and managed to even be AHEAD of schedule so we got to spend more time at our cocktail hour!!! Cassie’s photos capture the full range of emotions on the wedding day, because she’s able to connect deeply with her couples and understand what is important to them. Her style was something we gravitated to as we wanted a photographer who would not simply chronicle our event, but also capture the small details and genuine emotions that we might miss during the day. For both the engagement shoot and our wedding weekend, Cassie promptly delivered sneak peek highlights within a couple of days, and the full album within her initial estimate (8 weeks). She managed to capture the full essence of the day. Everytime we look at those photos, they bring us right back to those moments and feelings. We are so lucky and thankful to have had Cassie as our photographer. Hire her for your wedding! You will not regret it!!

Courtney came highly recommended to us by one of my best friends, and we truly feel so lucky that she was our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy to work with, organized, and very experienced which helped everything run smoothly. On our wedding day she felt like so much more than just a photographer — she was an extra source of support, helping guide us through the timeline, hyping us up, and making sure we were actually able to enjoy the day. It was clear she genuinely cared about making it a smooth and memorable day for us. We interviewed several photographers before choosing Courtney, and what really stood out was not only how beautiful her photos were but also how thoughtfully they were edited. When comparing her galleries to others, it was clear she puts real care and time into her editing process. She does an exceptional job editing skin tones (especially for those of us who are Asian or have tan/dark skin), making sure colors look true to life and not overly yellow or orange like we’ve sometimes seen with other photographers. Our wedding day was busy and chaotic at times, but Courtney went above and beyond helping organize people and keeping things on track. She was incredibly patient and great with kids and grandparents, and handled every situation with professionalism and kindness. She also asked thoughtful questions ahead of time to make sure she captured the moments that mattered most to us, which we really appreciated. She was also amazing at coaching us through poses so nothing looked awkward or forced. The final photos look so natural and effortless, which is exactly what we wanted. As an added bonus, she beautifully captured the love and connection between us in a way that felt so genuine. On top of everything, she was wonderful with our rowdy dog and made a real effort to include him in our photos, which meant so much to us. Overall, Courtney is not only a talented photographer who delivers stunning photos, but also a true professional who brings calm, positivity, and care to your wedding day. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

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.

Working with Paola Blanco Photo was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation, she was quick to respond and reliable every step of the way, making the planning process so smooth. What really impressed us was how she went above and beyond—she even helped us plan a surprise proposal at Baker Beach without tipping off my partner, and captured those moments so beautifully. Her eye for romantic photography is incredible, and she was attentive to every detail while keeping everything professional and polished. The final photos are stunning and tell our love story in a way we never could have imagined. We highly recommend Paola Blanco Photo to any couple looking for gorgeous, romantic images of their special day.

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $10,000

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Roberta is AMAZING! Our wedding venue includes the photographer in the package, so we reached out to her to see if she could do our engagement photos, without a wedding package. She was so flexible, able to meet us at our chosen location and even let us reschedule last minute because of rain. She made us feel so relaxed even though it can be awkward acting couple-y in public in front of a camera. Our photos turned out perfectly, really capturing our love for each other. I am particularly impressed with her use of lighting and ability to capture the movement of my hair. I would highly recommend her for your big day or other photo needs! Update: Because of COVID, we chose to host a small, intimate wedding rather than working with our original venue. We loved Roberta's work for our engagement photos and asked her to photograph our mini-wedding as well. She helped us work out a timeline that made sense for such a small ceremony and captured our special day beautifully.

Hi, I’m Blythe! I’m a wedding, couples, and portrait photographer based between San Francisco and Atlanta, always happy to meet somewhere in between—or far beyond. For over eight years, I’ve been following what I love: turning the people, moments, and stories in front of me into something tangible. I’m known for having a calming presence, and I want you to feel comfortable, have fun, and be completely yourself while trusting me to do my thing. I still get genuinely excited when we get the shot. At the end of the day, that’s what keeps me coming back—turning a little piece of your life into something you can hold onto.

From our first conversation with Blythe Lindsey Photography, we knew we had found the right fit for our wedding day. She was easy to reach, answered all of our questions, and made us feel heard throughout the planning process. The booking process was a breeze and the planning was so easy. On the day itself, Blythe blended seamlessly into our celebration—she captured the most stunning and emotional moments that we didn't even know we needed. The day was a breeze. Her photos are whimsical and imaginative, full of beauty that feels true to who we are as a couple. We received images that perfectly tell the story of our day, and we couldn't be happier with her work. If you're looking for a photographer who is both professional and easy to work with, Blythe is the one. We are so happy with the pictures and could not reccomend her more!

I just freaking love photography. I love showing people photos I capture of them and seeing them light up. I love storytelling, capturing emotional moments, finding cinematic detail shots, and I can assure you I’ll work my butt off doing it. Despite using the words freaking and butt in my bio, I’m very professional. I want nothing more than to capture the best photos I can to make your day so special and have memories that can last forever.

Starting from the first moment we met Lauren she really wowed us. She is passionate, energetic and very professional. There wasn’t a doubt in our minds that she was the Photographer we wanted to work with. She did not disappoint! It was hard to decide between all the perfect shots, which ones to use in our album, we wanted them all. Thank you Lauren for making our wedding such a special day and now we have such beautiful pictures that we will enjoy for a lifetime!!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Shane as our photographer, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Shane was incredibly attentive to our vision. He met with us beforehand to understand exactly what we were looking for and went above and beyond by visiting our venue ahead of time to get a feel for the space. Not only is Shane kind, professional, and easy to work with, but his work truly speaks for itself. The photos he captured are stunning—we’re completely in love with the way he documented our day. Every moment feels beautifully preserved and authentic. We’re so excited to receive our printed photo album in the near future!

Artistic storytelling for the fun, kind and adventurous. Hi friend! :) I'm your neighborhood artist, goofy empath, & lover of dogs and human beans. (Name is pronounced Hasmeen, kinda like jalapeño) My goal is to be a source of joy and vulnerability in your life while helping you feel grounded on your big day and ~even more~ grateful for the life you live and the love you choose. 

Awarded Best of Zola
5 stars doesn't seem like nearly enough recognition for Jazmín and her absolutely beautiful work. From day one with us, she was incredibly kind, and sought out to learn more about us as both individuals and as a couple, to better capture the essence of who we are throughout our engagement shoot and wedding alike. She is so very talented and has such an incredible eye for the beauty in her clients, the world around them, and has such a deep perspective on how to blend all of these aspects together to ensure that you have these memories for the rest of your life. The days following our wedding, I felt very melancholy, as I had felt our fun filled day had gone by too fast. Now, with Jazmín's astonishing pictures and her ability to capture raw emotion in every frame, my wife and I have the blissful opportunity to relive our day together over and over and over again. Not to mention, she is an absolute sweetheart and made us feel so very special in so many ways. I PROMISE you needn't look any further when searching for a photographer to help you immortalize your special day with your loved ones.
