Specializing in Outdoor Weddings and Elopements! Growing up fishing and hiking at the age of three, I spend as much time as possible outside! Searching out new swimming holes in the summer, traveling to the mountains and along the coast throughout the year! Backpacking, hiking and climbing. Quickly adding more locations to shoot!

I was drawn to Dustin's passion for nature and experience with outdoor setting for weddings. We had an elopement ceremony by the river and Dustin captured the warmth and love of our special day. I'm so appreciative of the positive energy and enthusiasm he brought and his flexibility to take photos at multiple locations. He exceeded our expectations and his passion for nature and people shines through. Great communication, arrived early, and beautiful photos!

Lou Grace Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Elk Grove, CA

Hey y'all, I'm Meagan! This is typically the section where I should hype myself up, but instead, I’m going to actually tell you about me! I am a Northern California couples, elopement, and wedding photographer who encourages all my clients to include their dogs! Wondering where Lou Grace comes from? My business name is a tribute to my late grandfather, my guardian angel, and greatest supporter. I drink iced coffee year-round and I prefer Dutch Bros over Starbucks. I love country music but listen to just about everything and love a good song recommendation. Also, I’m obsessed with my dogs! Let me know if we have anything in common :)

Meagan was as easy and comfortable to work with as a best friend on my wedding day. She checked in with me throughout the day, gave me clear cues to look good and kept the whole experience with photos so lighthearted and fun. She pulled me away for photos at the perfect times so that I was actually able to enjoy my entire wedding day without feeling like it was one big photoshoot. I even got all my photos done in time to enjoy almost my entire cocktail hour! The photos she sent literally the next morning made my friends cry they were so beautiful. The work speaks for itself!!!

Oh Lovely Wedding

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Elk Grove, CA

Hi! I'm Amanda. I never need an excuse to road trip or dance like no one is watching and my soul would probably shrivel up and die without music and high five moments. Finding kindred spirits is the best medicine and I will stop at nothing to savor a fleeting moment. Helping you look and FEEL amazing is literally the best part of what I get to do! I thrive on making your photos a completely comfortable, fun and utterly painless process! I absolutely LIVE for this.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Amanda for our engagement photos. Our 2 dogs were part of the session and she is great at working with pets! We also booked her for our wedding photos and absolutely loved working with her. Amanda previously took my brother’s wedding photos and I particularly love how she is able to capture the emotions in each photo. My husband and I are both shy and awkward in front of the camera, but Amanda has the ability to put you at ease and she guides you in a way that makes you feel and look your best. I was nervous on the wedding day with everything going on and she really helped both of us relax with her calming presence. We had a small, intimate wedding with a little over 40 guests and I am so impressed with how Amanda captured beautiful moments from every angle, especially during our ceremony. I had no idea she was moving around everywhere until I saw the photos! If you are looking for a responsive, professional, and talented photographer, I highly recommend Amanda. We cannot thank her enough and will look back on these photographs fondly in years to come.

Annie Hall Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Elk Grove, CA

This is for you, couples who have too many moments to be present for. You’ll have photographs that show the heart and soul of the day without having to stage or fake things for the camera. I'll make images that help you remember what happened, who was there, what it looked like, and what it felt like.

Awarded Best of Zola
It's easy to look through Annie's photos to see how amazing they are -- I loved her style from the moment I saw her galleries and I was hopeful that our photos would look just as great. Guess what, they are amazing!! She also delivered ALL of our photos in 4 weeks, when she herself got married 2 weeks after us! Maybe the most important piece of guidance that she gave us was to take as many family photos before the event as possible. That way you can focus on the fun once it starts. And let me tell you -- that was good advice. I didn't want to spend a second on more staged photos once the party had started! We actually got to attend part of our cocktail hour because of this. Of course every event is different, but my point is that she will be able to guide you in the right direction because she has a ton of experience. I loved working with her and you will too! Also I didn't even include the best shots because I want to keep our faces off the internet, but look at the range just in these photos! So fun.

I go the extra mile to understand your unique needs, wants, and values, and showcase your wedding memories with creative, emotional, and authentic photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our engagement shoot. Originally, we won a 1 hour shoot, but since we liked Courtland so much, we decided to do an extra paid hour. Not only did he make us feel comfortable for our very first photoshoot together, but he went above and beyond to make sure we got the shots that we had envisioned. Prior to the day of the shoot, he met up with us twice to go over our vision and expectations. We were able to bring our dog and have him be a part of our pictures as well! Courtland's professionalism and creativity is unmatched and I would definitely recommend him as your photographer!

Wendy is the bubbly redhead (with freckles of course) that has been behind the camera at The Freckled Photographer for over six years. Despite her lively personality, this woman gets down to business and is one of the most organized you will ever meet, working seamlessly with your wedding day schedule. She loves to capture the images that her clients expect, and many more candid moments that showcase their personal story.

When the pandemic hit our wedding ceremony was delayed, so my wife and I opted to have a mini ceremony at her parents house. Wendy was very accommodating given all the restrictions at the time and did a wonderful job capturing the evening! Even though it was only my wife's parents in attendance (and two dogs) the photos are incredibly beautiful and really captured how special that day was for us.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, toting around a neon 35mm point and shoot camera, constant exploration was my default setting. Now, after eight years as a professional wedding and lifestyle photographer, I find myself driven by deep human connection and the exquisiteness of nature. I have shot over 100s of weddings, collaborated with conscientious small businesses, artists, makers, musicians, travel companies, and non-profit organizations to tell their stories in meaningful ways. I have been able to give back to my community and the charities I believe in by donating monetarily, with my art, and with my time.

Every wedding I’m hired to photograph I put all of myself into. The images I capture are the real moments you can look back on with your grandkids and will take you right back in time. I’m a firm believer in documenting the real moments of your wedding day. Though traditional, posed portraits are still important to capture, my focus is making sure you are comfortable and in the moment with your love through beautiful, candid shots.

George Street was fantastic! I got to hop on a video call with one of their coordinators and she was great. She let me ask all the questions and gave me all the information I needed. I picked my photographer, Taylor, based on her portfolio and I couldn't have been happier! Her personality was exactly what I was wanting and her photos turned out beautifully. The package we paid for came with SO MUCH and for such a good price. I was honestly skeptical that I was getting scammed and just prayed it was all as legit as it looked. It sure was! I paid a fraction of what some other recently married friends paid and got more photos back and other perks than they did from their photographers! We got an engagement session, a photo album, and EVERY. SINGLE. PICTURE. from our wedding day. There were over 5,000 photos sent back to us! Not to mention the use of a second shooter AND a videographer on the day of! We got a highlight version of our wedding day and a long version with every important moment. The quality was amazing! Overall, the communication was always great, we got our photos back quickly, the portal was easy to navigate, and our photographer was the best!

THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER YOU WILL FIND! We’ve used Carly for many family sessions, our engagement session (in Red Rock, NV), and of course our wedding, and I plan to stay in contact and use her for family sessions in the future! We got married during COVID and she was so helpful with being accommodating to our small ceremony, and booking us for our reception next year. Not to mention, she helped us find an officiant, and has been able to answer every question I had about weddings in general. Her knowledge in the industry goes far beyond photography/videography. Carly radiates joy and love to every single couple that she is with. My husband is not a fan of pictures, but he leaves sessions with the Drzazgas in a great mood, Carly is so good at making us laugh! All of our photos turn out GORGEOUS!!! Pictures are something I truly cherish and she always does the most perfect job at capturing all of our special moments that we will be able to look at forever. She is incredibly talented at what she does, but she is also an incredible person who would be the perfect choice for your special day. Not only do I feel like we had the best photographer and photos, but I also feel like Carly became a friend throughout our process and knows our story so well. I could not recommend her more.
