Bedrosian Photo 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Gardena, CA

I specialize in capturing wedding days as they truly unfold — honest, beautiful, and full of real moments. My style is documentary with a touch of fine art: minimal posing, natural light, and an emphasis on emotion and connection. You won’t find stiff, overly staged shots here. Instead, I focus on the laughter between vows, the teary hugs, the chaos and joy that make the day yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bedrosian Photo was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was fast, professional, and understanding as we coordinated all the details. Peter has an incredible artistic eye, capturing beautiful and creative photos that truly reflect the special moments of our day. Peter arrived early to scope out all possible pictures opportunities, stayed late to capture all special moments, and used multiple cameras to ensure they didn't miss a thing. Peter was amazing - he listened closely to my vision and made sure it came to life perfectly. I would recommend Bedrosian Photo to everyone, and will definitely be reaching out to them for all our future events. Thank you Peter for making our day special and capturing every moment. We are forever grateful for you!

Bonphotage Fine Art Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Gardena, CA

We never take lightly the incredibly humbling role which our clients entrust us to. It is our job to not only document once-in-a-lifetime moments and emotions but to do so in an artful, romantic and documentary manner. We are passionate about storytelling through images that elicit an emotional response, using both film and digital mediums. Our style is unobtrusive which allows us to capture fleeting moments of joy, love, and tenderness with intentionality.

“WOW. Just WOW!! I honestly can't say enough good things about Lynzie and her team at Bonphotage. Booking Bonphotage was easily the best decision we made for our wedding and I truly could not imagine my wedding without them. From the first phone call with Lynzie, I felt completely at ease - her professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm left us feeling that choosing Bonphotage for our wedding photography and videography team was a no-brainer. Leading up to the wedding, Lynzie and her team were responsive and detailed. They were instrumental in making sure our timeline was carefully tailored to ensure we received every image we desired while never feeling rushed or unnatural - and that is how we could best describe our whole experience with Bonphotage - ABOVE AND BEYOND! During the wedding day, the Bonphotage team struck the perfect balance between making sure we looked flawless by offering advice on poses, while still making us feel completely candid and natural! Our family and guests commented many times that they barely even noticed that our pictures and videos were being taken all night long! Lynzie, in particular, was meticulous, with razor-sharp senses anticipating every moment and emotion so carefully. The photography and videography team worked together seamlessly in a cohesive and planned manner. Truly a DREAM TEAM! But the BEST PART?! - the pictures were absolutely BREATHTAKING!! STUNNING!! and FAST! We got our entire wedding gallery in two weeks! We knew Lynzie and her team were incredible from looking at their portfolio online and following (ok - stalking!) their instagram for years - but the photos surpassed our already very high expectations in literally every way!! We couldn’t be happier. We will cherish these images for the rest of our life!! Do yourself a favor and hire Bonphotage!!”

Indigo West 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Gardena, CA

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

We enjoyed the overall experience with Indigo West from the start. He understood our preference for mostly candid photography and he did mostly that, leaving us plenty of time to mingle with guests. The photos he did direct we also loved it was nice he kept that quick, which made it very easy for us! Very happy with this vendor!

Randall de Leon Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Gardena, CA

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
We’ve been lucky to know and work with Randall for a few years. When we finally decided to make things “official” we knew we wanted someone that does great work, that we trust, and would make us feel comfortable. We wanted our day to feel like a relaxed family event and Randall helped with that and so much more. He suggested possible locations that would meet our dream event and times to maximize the best lighting for the area. Once we settled on the location and date, he maintained excellent communication in preparation to the event to properly flesh out the day’s timetable, day of logistics, and post. On the day of our wedding he expertly directed us and our families, using the natural lighting to capture the perfect shots. We would have been lost without him, especially since no one knew how to assist with bustling my dress. During our dinner reception he seamlessly directed restaurant staff to assist in transitioning between meals/dessert/toast for more amazing shots. After the wedding he kept us updated on next steps for our pictures. Randall is truly a gem and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone special to capture their day.

Lulan Studio 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Gardena, CA

Lulan’s creativity has led to his path beyond most conventional definitions. He has won 25+ wedding photography awards, named the Best Wedding Photographer in Los Angeles; while acquired advance degree in immunology and medicine from UCLA.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Lulan Studios about nine months before our wedding day. We were immediately drawn in by their professionalism and their reputation. Lulan is an inclusive photographer who was very receptive to our wedding vision. He and his team were incredibly kind, supportive, and helpful all throughout the process. We elected to go with Lulan Wang himself for our photographer who worked with an associate. After our initial consultation we were turned over to Shannon who was our go to contact for day to day clarifications and vendor contact until Lulan took over just before the wedding. Shannon was immensely resourceful and responsive. She communicated with our coordinator very efficiently and was always on top of our booking. We are very grateful to her as well for making the process so easy and for continuing that communication after the fact. On the day, Lulan and his associate were spectacular. It was clear his associate had more than enough talent for the job just like Lulan, but they divided and concurred by using two different types of cameras for different types of shots. We regret not doing an engagement session with them, but we will likely return for an Anniversary session in the future. We didn’t even need one though, because he is skilled enough that he understood us as a couple immediately. They made us feel comfortable and confident. They hyped us up and moved through the shot list masterfully. Nothing was missed and we captured far more than we expected. Please look through our attached photos as they speak for themselves. One of the most exciting moments was when Lulan handed us a little blue book filled with about fifteen physically printed preview photos DURING THE RECEPTION. A lovely surprise that absolutely shocked me. Turnover was 4-6 weeks and we got ours just before the six week mark right on schedule. We were floored. They are jaw-dropping. We ultimately got 950 photos permanently digitally available for high resolution download and access to a shop with impressive options for prints and albums of a wide array of types and sizes. I’m thrilled to show them to you here and implore you to consider booking Lulan Studios. We trusted in their ability from the beginning and we were not disappointed. They are among if not the absolute best in the business.

I’m Adam—a Boston native who’s now roaming around California photographing everything I see. When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks. I got my first film camera when I was 8, and it was love at first sight. Capturing your story is more than just a job for me. From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

My husband and I were beyond lucky to have Adam as our wedding photographer this past September. Not only did he give us the gift of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen, but he was also such a joy to be around. He makes you feel comfortable during the whole experience and even played me a Taylor Swift themed playlist during our engagement photos!! What more could I ask for!! I will forever recommend Adam to everyone I know. He's truly is the best out there!

I’m Mysi (pronounced, boringly, “Missy”)! I’ve been at this thing for 12 years and I keep falling more and more in love with it all. Give me intimate micro-weddings, quirky dive bar weddings, raucous South Asian weddings... my team and I absolutely thrive in chaos and emotion. My specialty is catching the moments and those tiny moments in between. ✨✨✨

Awarded Best of Zola
We were nervous when it came to hiring a photographer, because after the whirlwind of the day, photos are one of the only things you get to keep once the day is over that help you relive the moments. We had heard so many horror stories and knew it was one of the most important decisions we were going to make. But thankfully, hiring Mysi was truly one of the BEST DECISIONS we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was intentional, thoughtful, and so easy to work with. She made it a priority to meet with us in person—not just to talk logistics, but to get a feel for how we interact with each other. She wanted to understand our dynamic so she could best capture authentic, candid moments on the day. That personal touch meant a lot to us. She even took the time to drive up to our venue (a private residence) in advance to scout out the space. Watching her creativity come to life as she walked through the house and surrounding areas was such a fun and reassuring moment—we knew we were in great hands. We didn’t want just traditional posed photos; we wanted a mix of candid, artistic, and emotionally rich shots that told the full story of the day. She completely delivered. The final gallery was more beautiful than we could’ve imagined—natural, warm, and full of moments we didn’t even realize she had caught. We showed a few of the preview photos to people who didn't attend the wedding, and they all had nothing but compliments for how stunning the photos were. It's only been a few months, but we can't stop looking at the photos. They bring us back to the exact moment in time they were taken and we are able to relive the memories. Literally the only negative is that we can't figure out what our favorites are because they are all that great! We’re beyond grateful and couldn’t recommend Mysi more highly. If you want a photographer who truly sees you and puts her heart into every frame, she’s the one.

I have a photojournalistic and documentary style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Holly exceeded my husband and I's expectations as our photographer on our wedding day. Not only was she extremely professional, but she was kind, personable and very helpful.

We loved working with Murtaza and the MKEShoots team for our 6-event Indian wedding, plus engagement shoot. His passion for the art was so infectious, especially since it was our first time doing professional photos. It took us some time to warm up to the camera, but once we did, well, the pictures really speak for themselves. Murtaza especially has an incredible eye for creative photo ideas, and he and the team made it so much fun even though we were stressed out with all the wedding drama. They scoped out noteworthy outdoor locations that made amazing backdrops, helped corral family members together for group photos, and just generally went above & beyond to make sure we had coverage of all the important moments - all the big things and the small details too. The photos we ended up with were beyond what I imagined, I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Now, I just need someone to help put the wedding album together.... :)

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Stephen was a delight to work with throughout our engagement and on the day of our wedding. He is a calm, cool, and professional photographer who was always supportive of our ideas and able to lend fantastic input regarding posing, setting, and album design. Stephen always had incredible and talented assistants who were able to find tremendous shots at both our engagement and wedding shoots. The quality and style of his work were exactly what we were looking for -- more candid and 'in-the-moment' than posed and portrait-y (though we certainly got plenty of family portraits too!) We would be very happy to work with Stephen again for any future photography needs.

Weddings are indeed stressful. The whole process of trying to figure out what our kids wanted, needed or desired for their wedding creates a situation where there are just too many options out there and it gets confusing or even overwhelming. With Michael’s experience, he was able to cut through a lot of the questions and made things very very simple and manageable. His discussion with the happy couple beforehand gave him an idea as to where he wanted to go in a direction with the photos was a nice considerate touch. He arrived earlier in the day to work out all the finer details with the facility and during the wedding and even after made everything, not only very easy but fun and entertaining for everybody who participated. The quality of the photos and the uniqueness and time put into each one of them may this a great experience. I can’t recommend him enough.

  • Serves Gardena, CA

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
For our wedding experience, my husband and I were looking for a photographer that specialized in candids— someone who was focused on capturing natural moments versus the formal, posed ones. Gabbie delivered. She photographed our at-home engagement session, our typhoon-ridden wedding day, and threw in a post-wedding session for free due to circumstances out of our control on the wedding day. Our venue was not prepared for the day to be rained out, so there was minor chaos that I learned of after the fact. Gabbie and her second shooter never let on to any mishaps or miscommunications on the venue’s behalf and fought through the absolute freezing rain with us all day. We deeply cherish all of the photos she took… from us dancing together in the kitchen of our first home, to us bundled up under an umbrella, kissing in the rain after the ceremony, to priceless images of our friends and family breaking it down on the dance floor at the reception, and to the bridal portraits she took of us months after the wedding when she wasn’t satisfied with what we were able to get on the actual wedding day. We have nothing but great things to say about Gabbie and would highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
Since receiving our wedding photos from Jess, several of my friends and family members (including 2 professional photographers!) have asked me for her contact info because of how amazing her photos are!! When we started looking for a wedding photographer, we knew that we needed to find someone with a great eye for candids, who wouldn't make our pictures feel too staged, who had a fun/funky vibe like us, and who could handle wrangling my extremely large family (full of very opinionated people) for family photos, and Jess handled everything with ease! I feel so lucky that we found Jess, and I cannot recommend her more. Jess made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding day, and even gave guidance to family members who are normally awkward in photos (e.g. suggesting ways to pose to make them more comfortable). Jess went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, checking in with us, getting to know us, and even coming to a venue walkthrough so she could get a sense of the space! I am so grateful for all of the work Jess put into our wedding, and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I rarely even like photos of myself, but I honestly am so in love with the ones that Jess took that I jump on every opportunity to whip out my phone and share them with friends!

Porterhouse LA's service and quality are top-tier! We had the pleasure of working with Zyaire and his team for our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day. There were so many moving parts to the wedding (we had three locations) and they made it their mission to get important moments from start to finish. They were true professionals and guided us on posing, and stances, and he made sure to work closely with us on quick and prompt delivery of amazing quality photos. The level of quality and talent Zyaire provides is superior - we 100% recommend!

We feel so lucky to have had Anastasiia as our wedding photographer. From start to finish, she went above and beyond — and the results were absolutely stunning. Not only did she help us choose the perfect photo location for portraits after the ceremony, but she also scouted it out ahead of time, drove us there herself, and had a clear plan that made everything feel relaxed and fun. She was incredibly prepared, kind, and efficient — we got every shot we hoped for and more, without ever feeling rushed. What really stood out was her adaptability. There were placement restrictions during the ceremony at our church, which limited where she could stand — but you’d never know it from the photos. She still managed to capture gorgeous, meaningful moments that we’ll cherish forever. Anastasiia is not only wildly talented, but also such a sweet and calming presence to have by your side on a busy wedding day. If you're looking for someone who is thoughtful, professional, and will go the extra mile (literally and figuratively!), she’s the one.

Welcome. I'm D e r e c k. I've been doing photography and videography since 2017. It wasn't until the pandemic of last year that I decided to take a leap of faith and make it a full-time career. I feel like I've always had a burning passion for photography and editing, I love photography because it captures a moment in time. Whether that moment is your wedding day or an annual family portrait, pictures enable us to relive and remember special occasions again + again. Why I specifically dove into Wedding Photography? Simple!! My love for creativity and seeing passionate couples that aren't afraid to show their personalities

Awarded Best of Zola
Dereck was very great at communicating, he unfortunately had a grand injury a fee days before my wedding but had a replacement scheduled immediately. It took about a month to receive the whole album but he threw in extras. Always very kind and professional when we spoke. Pricing was amazing for what we received

Hi! I'm Kelsey! Fun-loving, boba-obsessed, dog-mom living in sunny SoCal. I have a very natural and candid style of photography where clients don't look or feel "posed" but are simply being in the moment! I'm passionate about capturing the essence of your relationship, whether intimate, goofy, quirky, affectionate, and everything in between. I'm known for my friendliness and light-hearted personality! I help make shoots feel very comfortable, candid, fun, and genuine to each relationship.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t begin without saying how amazing Kelsey and her team are! They are truly good at what they do. I’m normally really shy and awkward in front of a camera, but they made the experience so fun and comfortable. They knew the best angles and helped with our poses and told us where to go. The photos turned out so candid and beautiful! We cannot get over them and we got so many compliments! We are so happy that we chose Kelsey and her team for our engagement shoot and wedding photos. These types of moments are once in a lifetime and you don’t want to miss anything good and that’s why we’re so grateful that they captured everything for us. We trust them so much. We already want Kelsey and her team to shoot for our one year anniversary!

We loved our pictures and videos! The fact that this amazing husband and wife theme came out to Vegas was just amazing and how affordable priced they were! They were able to pivot locations because it rained on our wedding day and being on call with texting and phone calling! We love the pictures and videos they took at our reception and the overall Final Cut of our wedding video! We love looking back and remembering our special day and how they captured it! We highly recommend their amazing service!

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.

Mirage & Light Photography made our wedding photo dreams come true! Let's be honest, sometimes taking photos can feel awkward and that is the complete opposite of how we felt with Amanda. We felt like she was our instant friend who was hanging out with us on our wedding day. Our small and intimate wedding was held during the crazy times of 2020. Throughout the many texts and phone calls deciding if our wedding could or would even happen, Amanda was there for us. She always checked in and offered support. Amanda captured every detail of our perfect day. We have candid photos to the perfect little detail photos to the most beautiful portraits that we have already framed in our home. Amanda also had a few polaroids at the end of the night to give to us as a sneak peak. We received all our photos within a short few weeks of our wedding day. The photos are dreamy and just flat out gorgeous. The lighting in each photo is perfection. Amanda has a true gift for making photos look 100!
