Pink Heart Photography by Maria Evins

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,450
  • Serves Big Bear Lake, CA

Hi!! I'm Maria, photographer, mom, wife, and nacho lover. Not listed in any particular order lol Once I had my first born, I realized going back to work at CBS was not what I wanted with 12 hour workdays. 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.

I highly recommend Maria Evins as a wedding photographer. I was astonished by her work from start to finish. She is the sweetest and makes every client feel special. You can see her passion with every angle she takes. I cannot image my engagement and wedding without her in it. She provided a service that I will always remember and cherish!

Crawford Photo Co.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Big Bear Lake, CA

I'm a follower of Jesus, adventure lover, wife to Josiah (my husband of four years, personal chef, and favorite weirdo), and dog mom to Solo (the sweetest chihuahua you'll ever meet). When I'm not working, you'll find me with a friend at a coffee shop or curled up at home with a good book or a show; most likely a rom com. I'm a big fan of morning light, cold brew coffee, and dark chocolate anything. My favorite travel destination is the Oregon coast and my perfect day would consist of the beach, hiking, good food, and close friends.

My husband and I had Annie take our engagement photos and she also photographed our wedding day... To say we were pleased with her work would be an absolute understatement. Not only does the quality of Annie's work speak for itself, but Annie is a JOY to work with! She is kind, thoughtful, caring, professional, VERY well organized, and an excellent communicator. Throughout the wedding planning process, Annie checked in on us to see how we were doing. She was someone I felt like I could go to to ask questions and get feedback about the day's schedule, details about the order of events, etc. She was so much more than just a photographer for us -- her kindness and care for us took away our nerves about the big day and made us so excited! I HIGHLY recommend Crawford Photo Co. Outstanding service, exceptional quality, and genuinely a joy to work with.

For me, weddings are not just about the big day itself but the beautiful love stories that unfold within them. I have a deep appreciation for couples who prioritize their connection and who value their relationship above all else. I thrive in an atmosphere of laid-back and go-with-the-flow individuals who trust me to capture their most cherished moments authentically.

I had an amazing experience working with Leia Caldwell Photography for a wedding reception that I performed at as a DJ. Her communication style was friendly, fun, and professional throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly picture perfect - she captured so many candid, clear moments that I'm sure my couple will cherish forever. As a vendor who needs great story telling photos of HOW FUN an evening was, Leia’s Photography will capture all the emotions felt on the dance floor! I would highly recommend Leia Caldwell Photography to any couple looking for a talented, reliable wedding photographer.

Hi, my name is Alexandra Marie and I LOVE capturing love and freezing your memory forever. Getting to know you guys and hearing how you met is one of my favorite things ever. I understand the importance of preserving your memories and making them last a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Alexandra and her Sister Michele for a wedding their package came with a complimentary engagement session. We met Alexandra for the first time. Our first impression is as soon as she started talking she made us feel at ease. She took charge of the session, posing and directing us in many ways. My husband isn't the type to want to do photos ever and she had him smiling the entire time. By the end of our engagement session, it felt like we had known her for years. Fast forward to our wedding day, everything was going wrong. When Alexandra arrives she notices my face and right away goes and takes charge. She directed all the vendors to where they needed to be she made sure no one bugged me as I was getting ready. The entire night they were capturing everything without being asked. they made sure that we had pictures with almost every single guest. they took almost 4000 photos and provided them all to use edited within 3 months. They didn't charge us extra most of my friends were surprised when I shared that with them as most photographers charge extra after so many edits. I highly recommend them both they make it so easy to talk to and the booking process was really easy. I am forever grateful I had them capture our day. Gave us so many memories to look back on

Randall de Leon Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Big Bear Lake, 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.

Our photographers and videographers are carefully selected based on our high standards of personality/character, style/quality, gear/equipment, and professionalism. We look forward to meeting and working with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Joy Photo and Video was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and videography needs. They always answered my questions as fast as they could, which put me at ease during the planning process. I loved that I can have access to all the pictures they took, not just the edited ones. The video they put together is amazing - they were able to make it so special in just a few short minutes. The photographer and videographer told us exactly what to do and how to pose, which was so helpful since we didn't know what kind of poses we wanted. The only thing I knew I wanted was some under the veil pictures, and they made sure to get those first. I also loved knowing that if my photographer or videographer were sick that day or something happened, there would be a back-up person there to ensure our day was captured perfectly. Overall, Joy Photo and Video exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

In addition to documenting celebrations in the United States, our team has filmed worldwide. Countries we have traveled to include Thailand, Turkey, Mauritius, India, Kazakhstan, China, Russia, Dubai, Great Britain, and so many more.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve heard of Aladdin Films from my friend, who 2 months before the wedding couldn’t stop talking about their team and a wedding video her sister got from Aladdin Films. Of course, after such a review from my best friend, I had to consider Aladdin Films for my wedding day. But once I got on their website, their hyper-creative, beautifully done videos and fantastic photos didn’t leave me any choice other than contact them. And after talking to Iman about their services, he left me no choice other than hire them. His enthusiasm and creative approach to work was spectacular. But still, I was a little bit skeptical till the day of my wedding. But as soon as I met them in person, I was 100% sure that they will create a masterpiece. Words cannot describe how hardworking their team is. They came half an hour before the wedding to observe the place and create a plan on what, where, and when they will be doing certain things. Their service was on another level, but everything comes down to one thing. The result. It didn’t take them long to edit everything, and when we sat with the whole family on our couch to see the result. Everybody was in complete delight. We couldn’t stop laughing, crying, and wondering how they could take such a good shot. It seemed that they had not 3 but 10 cameras. Top-notch editing, perfect angles, and great sound design are just some of the characteristics of that video. And pictures can be displayed in the Louver. Their artistic retouching photos were so good, that we are going to print them on huge canvases and put them all on the walls of our house. We immediately send them out to all of our relatives and hurried them up to hire them ASAP because as they said, they often get booked up. We’ll definitely hire them again on all of our family events, and if you are a couple that is looking for a videographer & photographer to capture the best moments of your wedding day, look no further, Aladdin Films is an obvious choice.

We cannot thank Joyce enough for the incredible job she did capturing our wedding day on December 4, 2024. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in good hands. Her professionalism, creativity, and warm personality made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Our day began with a beautiful photo session at San Francisco City Hall, followed by our ceremony at The Palace of Fine Arts.

She has an incredible eye for detail and a talent for making even the most candid moments look like works of art. The photos she delivered are absolutely stunning. Each image tells a story and brings back the joy and love we felt on that special day. We are so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully. Joyce was not only a fantastic photographer but also a calming presence throughout the day. She made us feel comfortable and confident, which really shows in the photos.

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.

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

I would highly recommend him to anyone!!

Meet Ellen, a Southern California native and seasoned visual storyteller: I've been photographing events and portraiture since 2017 and specialize in destination weddings and elopements. For me, the best part about being a photographer is getting to witness my client’s once in a lifetime memories being created and knowing that my work will allow future generations to experience those memories as well. I take on all types of creative photo shoots when I'm not shooting weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Ellen about a year ago now and I kept meaning to leave a review, then forgetting, then feeling awful because working with her was AMAZING. I contacted her and asked if she would be able to do a maternity shoot with my husband and me in Death Valley. We arranged everything and even though the weather was windy and somewhat cloudy, Ellen made it work! My husband is not a huge fan of having his photo taken but while Ellen was friendly, she was also down to business and directive (which I asked her to be), and my husband and I both loved how helpful and specific she was. When we got the photos back, I honestly couldn't believe how cool they looked. We are definitely not models but the photos Ellen took belong in a magazine! She told us exactly how to stand, what to do with our hands, where to look, how to swirl my dress, etc and we truly couldn't be happier with the final product. It took me so long to write this review because soon after we got our photos, I had a baby! But I wanted to finally do this because looking back at the pictures we took a year ago brings back so many wonderful memories, and I am truly thankful that we were able to book Ellen. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for any occasion!
