I can only give Katie the HIGHEST recommendation. Not only is her work phenomenal, but her attention to details and prep work behind her shoots is very appreciated. We used Katie for our engagement photos and wedding photography and as a stressed bride, I really appreciated the leg work she did ahead of time to get the best shots. She came with a ton of fun ideas that really made our shoots fun and easy going. While at the wedding, she caught all the best candid and the planned parts went so smooth because she is fun to work with. I loved having Katie as our photographer and recommend her to everyone!!

Randall de Leon Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Santa Monica, 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
Randall was recommended by our videographer (Call it Captivation Films, who we recommend). We really enjoyed his gallery and how natural his photos looked. We spoke to a few other photographers before him, but during our 1st video meeting he vibed well with us; he and I are both Fil-Am with history of working with pediatric patients (he as a PTA, me as a RN), and he and my husband shared a love for the same teams (Dodgers and Lakers). We were quick to book him after our meeting and are extremely happy with our decision to work with him! The photography packages he offers and his prices are amazing. Randall was great with communication and with providing us with recommendations (ie what to bring for flat lay, helping us pose, etc) prior to and day of the wedding. He did a site tour of our venue where we got to meet him and his kids in person. Prior to the ceremony, Randall worked with me, while the 2nd photographer worked with my husband. My husband said that the 2nd photographer fitted in well like one of the boys. He gave us a preview of the photos 1 week after our wedding and the full gallery of our wedding about 8-9 weeks after our wedding. We are so happy with all the photos! They are so beautiful and timeless, and they captured the essence of our wedding so well. **If you're looking for a photographer, Randall is your guy! I did the research for you :) Book him now! **

My name is Zyaire Porter and I am the photographer of Porterhouse LA Weddings. Born & raised in Los Angeles, I have been capturing weddings professionally since 2013. I answer every email myself (no bots or assistants).

Awarded Best of Zola
Porterhouse LA did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. Zyaire was artistic, punctual, and precise. We received our photos very quickly after the wedding, and are absolutely in love with them. We’ll treasure these for the rest of our lives, and have had so much joy from sharing them with others. The comments we’ve received have all been about how beautiful the wedding looked, how good everyone looked, and how gorgeous the photos were overall, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Zyaire met with us over Zoom twice before the actual wedding, and took every one of our concerns and questions seriously. He had a good answer to everything, and it convinced us that we were dealing with a consummate professional. We also asked him to shoot our welcome party for guests, and he was able to oblige with that, as well. We first met him in person for the welcome party, and he was already there when we arrived, getting background shots of the venue. This was something we hadn’t even considered, but it was really valuable - having shots of the venue, and the venue for our wedding, helped put the other photos in context for people who weren’t able to attend, and gave us mementos of the locations themselves.

Mirage and Light Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

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.

It was our pleasure to have Mirage and Light photograph our events. One of the things we look for as florists when someone photographs our work is how accurately a photographer may represent color. Since so many clients book us off of previous work, it is imperative to have this accuracy so we can convey to others what we mean when we give them a certain color palette. Amanda and her team did a beautiful job on this for us, and she gave our clients lovely, candid, and natural looking memories of their gorgeous day. Everything was done just as it should be, and I am honored to recommend them to any couple seeking beautiful photos for their day.

Hi!! I'm Maria, photographer, mom, wife, and nacho lover.

I took photography classes and decided to build my own business myself. I have been photographing weddings for the last 6 years and enjoy celebrating this amazing day with all my clients. Cheesy as it may sound, I'm an absolute romantic and I relish in witnessing the love, words said, and the joy found at every wedding.

Maria is so amazingly joyful, her smile and great attitude just makes posing so fun and natural. It was very comfortable spending some time with her, getting the shots I hoped for while incorporated great ideas she had. I was so jazzed with the quality of the digital images and she had the gallery back to me so quick. I recommenced Pink Heart Photography for portraits to big events and all the adventures between.

Highly recommend Big Day Memories. Fast and clear communication during the booking process, professionalism during the wedding, and quality of the gorgeous photos were all excellent. We are a middle-age couple, wanted fairly traditional photos, and are not natural or comfortable in front of the camera. The team did a great job of giving us suggestions without being pushy. WE LOVE OUR PHOTOS. They were delivered quickly even sooner than the contract deadline. Masha and the Big Day team captured exactly the balance of candid and portraits that we requested. We were on a fixed budget and are very pleased with the value.

I’m a wedding photographer with nearly 20 years of experience and a deep appreciation for the moments that matter most. What excites me isn’t just photographing a wedding day — it’s delivering images you’ll come back to again and again. I focus on real connection, genuine emotion, and creating an experience that feels easy and comfortable from start to finish. I’m not afraid to let the day go by and be a quiet observer, or guide you through posing if you need a bit of encouragement. If you’re looking for someone who cares just as much about how your photos feel as how they look, I’d love to connect.

Lee has beautifully photographed some of my family members for years, so we were excited to choose him for our engagement photos. He not only met our expectations, but far exceeded them! Lee took amazing photographs of us at Castaic Lake and made it a super fun, comfortable time. It was our first time taking professional photos together and we had a blast. Lee really knows his stuff, and he made the whole shoot feel very natural and relaxed. Cannot recommend him enough!!
