Carmelisse Photography

Long Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,550

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently had the pleasure of a portrait session with Sarahi, and the experience was phenomenal. Right from the start, her professionalism and welcoming demeanor created a comfortable environment for both me and my fiance. Sarahi took the time to understand our vision and provided guidance to enhance the overall result. Communication with Sarahi was seamless, and deadlines were met with precision, reinforcing the positive overall experience. I 100% recommend SarahiPhoto for those seeking a portrait session that combines skillful craftsmanship with a thoughtful and collaborative approach.

Long Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,999

I focus on candid photos mostly because I love capturing my couples just the way they are! We will have fun, laugh and maybe cry together! I also do some posed photos here and there but I love capturing those moments in between.

From the moment we booked Golden Vibes Photo, we felt like we were working with family. 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!!!

Amal Bisharat Photography 

5.0

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

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!

Lark & Lavender

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

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.

We received our wedding photos about a month ago and we were so impressed with the quantity and quality of photos! The variety and naturalism is exactly what we had in mind. We will definitely treasure these photos for years to come and we hope to work with Fatima again in the future!

Most importantly, Soda Fountain Photo captured all the special moments of our wedding day with creativity and care.

Stephanie Hanno Photography specializes in fine art wedding photography with a documentary and photojournalistic approach. Southern California based but travels worldwide. Capturing your special moments to last a lifetime.

I messaged Stephanie a couple weeks before my proposal and I can tell just by direct messaging how helpful she would be. She was very supportive in my idea and also added some great ideas of her own. I see people often talk about how photographers could’ve done better or they wish how their photographer would’ve done this or that. With Stephanie my fiancé and I were able to come out with everything we dreamed of and more. She took the perfect amount of initiative through the whole process. I can speak for both my fiancé and I when I say we were blown away by not only the quality of the actual photos but just how unique they were. We fell in love with so many of them it was the hardest thing to try not to post every single one. I’m looking forward to working with her again on future family photos, events and most importantly memorable moments.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can not express how much I appreciate Stephen's work for our wedding (but I'll give it a try). From the first time we met, I could tell he was exactly what I was looking for. Someone who could take a group of dorky introverts and make them look like the stars of the show without making us feel silly or stressed. On the day of our wedding, he was able to keep up with our crazy huge wedding party and fast paced timeline. He was a hit with my family, my grandmother is still talking about how sweet he was and what a great job he did. After the wedding he took a couple weeks to edit the photos( a very quick turnaround in my opinion). I was absolutely dazzled. The moments he was able to capture will be celebrated in the family album for decades. I would recommend Stephen to anyone that wants a beautiful and personal photography experience that will truly reflect the soul of his subjects.

Gabbie Burseth Photo

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Long Beach, 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
We worked with Gabbie for our wedding and she absolutely blew us away. From the start, she was so easy to work with and got to know us, our story, and our style. We first had an engagement session with her, where she had a beautiful location in mind that fit our style perfectly. My husband and I were nervous because we're not used to being in front of the camera, but Gabbie's calm and fun nature put us at ease immediately. She has a way of creating certain moments that don't feel completely posed and resulted in absolutely stunning photographs that we cherish to this day. We were an original COVID couple (postponing our wedding a month before it was meant to happen in Spring 2020) and were so thankful that Gabbie was willing to work with us and all of the fluid changes we were dealing with daily. On the wedding day and all of the chaos that comes with it, Gabbie was a steady and calm voice amidst the craziness. She did a killer job despite dealing with on and off rain. She has this amazing ability to blend right in throughout the day while beautifully documenting our special moments. Once we received our complete gallery, we were speechless. The time and effort she puts in to selecting and editing every single image shows how truly invested and caring she is. She even managed to photograph little moments we didn't even notice her there for. She captured the spirit, love and fun of our wedding perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough!!

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!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
People often debate what's most important for a wedding: is it the venue, the food, the flowers... ?  It's the memories, and putting them in the hands of artists who can show you the heart and soul and feel of every moment - moments you can't plan for, you can never adequately take in, and many you would simply miss. Jarrod and Taylor are certainly technically gifted photographers and videographers, but more importantly they are artists whose true love is capturing yours.  The name says it all: The Narrative. My bride Ali and I will be forever grateful that we found and convinced them to tell our story.  I could imagine a thousands different weddings, but none without them by our side. Thank you, Jarrod and Taylor, you beautiful humans, for your truly awesome and unbelievable care, vision, and talents.  You've given us more than we could have ever imagined or even hoped for, through your perfect lens.

I have known Jordan for a while as an event photographer and wasn't sure if he did grad pictures, especially for groups. I was pleased to figure out that he does grad photos too and is extremely flexible about it! I had a group of around 11 people, and he was able to give me quick responses about the rate, which was an absolute deal. Jordan really cares for his clients and makes sure that everything is discussed before the event, including an itinerary. He was extremely flexible if we needed an extra hour and potential location itinerary changes. Coordinating 11 people for a photo shoot is not easy, but Jordan managed to do it with ease, attention to detail, and efficiency! Thanks to his expertise and creativity with poses and shots, we got some amazing solo and group shots that we will remember for a lifetime. He magically makes the experience very efficient, but is also not afraid to have fun! Highly recommend!

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.

Choosing Daniel from Indigo West as our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From our first conversation, we loved his calm, thoughtful demeanor and his organic, artistic approach to capturing the day. His eye for composition and detail is exceptional and the photos truly tell a story. As a same-sex couple, we wanted someone who could move beyond traditional wedding clichés, capture the grandeur of our museum venue (complete with dinosaur skeletons) while making it feel intimate, and handle dark, dramatic spaces. Daniel did all of that and more. He captured the energy, emotion, laughter, and joy of the day beautifully. Daniel was efficient but never rushed. He was professional yet playful, and it felt like he immediately understood our dynamic as a couple and with our guests. We trusted his vision completely, and it absolutely shows in the photos. Most importantly, Daniel brought such a fun, relaxed energy—it never felt like he was just doing a job. We can’t recommend him enough.

My wife and I had actually happened upon Demecio and Luna Bella two years prior to our wedding completely by chance at a wedding expo in LA. Like any prospective couple, we had no idea what we were looking for. Luna Bella was actually one of the first vendors we spoke to on the floor that day. Hours later we had come to the conclusion that they were probably who we would choose for photos, it wasn't even close after talking to a hall full of photographers. Luna Bella was actually the first vendor we officially booked and by far the single best choice we made. We actually contracted Demecio and his team to do our engagement photos on top of the wedding photos, from the start he was extremely courteous and his enthusiasm made the day fun. Even early on Demecio was open to our ideas and engaged in even the smallest details my wife or I suggested. Post engagement he was easy to communicate with, for all the vendors we worked with, it was more like talking to a friend than just someone working a contract. This was made even more apparent as leading up to our wedding and the day of his team was as excited as we were for the wedding day. There's a million things that go into a wedding day and obviously having someone to rely on to help line out details and timelines like Demecio was a godsend. On site the day of, Demecio and his team weren't just photographers. Of all things, the last thing I expected was to be complimented on how much fun our wedding guests had interacting with his whole team. Some of my family mentioned his team members by name recounting small moments they helped inspire and capture in photos we later saw. Beyond that the Luna Bella team took so much love and care in their craft, if you're willing to spend the time with them, they're willing to go the extra mile to capture just the most gorgeous photos you'll ever see. Quality wise the delivery was timely and the style of the photos looked clean and natural. Overall I cannot recommend Demecio and the whole team at Luna Bella enough. They're straightforward in their promises and over deliver on results. An extraordinary team that I'm beyond grateful to have met.

Our wedding was nothing short of a fairytale, and we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the brilliant lens magician that are Victoria and Kevin. From the moment we first connected with them, it was clear that we were in the hands of a true professional who not only excels in the art of photography but also radiates kindness and professionalism. One of the standout features that sets Victoria apart is her willingness to travel. She not only embraced the idea of a destination wedding but approached it with enthusiasm, turning the journey into an adventure of its own. Victoria has an extraordinary talent for capturing moments that are not just beautiful but also iconic. Each frame tells a story, evoking the emotions and the essence of the day. The candid shots are pure magic, freezing moments in time that we will cherish for a lifetime. From the laughter shared with family and friends to the quiet, intimate moments between us, every image is a work of art. The attention to detail is astonishing, ensuring that not a single moment was missed. The result is a collection of photographs that is not just a documentation of our wedding day but a masterpiece that reflects the love and joy that surrounded us. Weddings can be stressful, but Victoria has a remarkable ability to put everyone at ease. Her friendly demeanor and genuine passion for their craft create an atmosphere that allows natural and authentic moments to unfold, resulting in photographs that are not only visually stunning but also emotionally resonant. In the world of wedding photography, Victoria is a true gem. If you are looking for someone who goes above and beyond, who captures moments with an artistic eye, and who does it all with a heart full of kindness and professionalism, then look no further. Our wedding day was made even more magical by having Victoria behind the lens, and we are forever grateful for the memories she has given us. A solid 5-star rating doesn't seem like enough; Victoria deserves all the stars in the universe!
