Lauren Alexa Photography, LLC

Joshua Tree, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Lauren Gdowski (she/her/hers) is a bright and true-to-life wedding photographer for the couples who want a worry-free day! After months of rigorous planning, you'll finally be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy your wedding day. The culmination of your hard work doesn't last long, so taking in those fleeting moments should be your top priority. That's where I come in... I'll guide you through a stress-free day, capturing fleeting moments so you get to relive them time and time again.

Lauren was absolutely amazing, she made my wedding so easy to do and so beautiful when they were done. I had my original photographer stop communicating with me, so I found Lauren late into my wedding planning and I was already very stressed out. But she eased my nerves and made it such an easy process to figure out what photos I wanted done. She was always quick to respond when I had a question about the photos, and she was so helpful with her knowledge of weddings in general. I have attached some of my photos to this review because I honestly can not praise her enough. She does incredible work and is a wonderful person!

Dean MacKay Photography has been such a joy to work with! Our wedding was back in May 2024, and with a reception do-over happening very soon (due to illness-driven reasons), we are looking forward to working with him again! Dean's communication is timely, professional, and always makes sure his clients' requests are completed (reasonably). Dean puts all of his energy in making sure magical moments are captured along with getting moments that are timeless and elegant. He was absolutely phenomenal to have as our wedding photographer and even got photos of things we don't remember happening! In making sure our special day is everything we could imagine, it was super sweet to meet and discuss locations, ideal shots, and more leading up to the big day (which made the wedding day a bit less stressful). Dean is also very reasonable for travel! If you are looking for someone to make your day feel special and candid, he is your guy!

I am a traveling documentary wedding film photographer. For me, taking photos has always been a way to not only express myself but to connect with the people around me. Documenting life and love has become second nature to me over the last 6 years as a wedding photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dominic was hands down our favorite vendor for our wedding!! I knew from our first conversation that he was the photographer we wanted. Truly an artist paying attention to each detail from the textures for the photos to the genuine emotions of those he's photographing. So insanely incredible to work with. Personable, responsive, attentive, and just a great person overall. Dominic was able to capture so many meaningful and fun moments during our day. I love his use of film. You can tell he's passionate about what he does. His style and texture make the wedding photos more than just capturing the day, it's truly artwork I proudly display in my home. Yes, we printed every. single. picture. Hire this man.

We are trained professionals with years of experience who know how to get those amazing shots without being intrusive or ruining any surprises!

Alex offered us such an amazing package it was hard to reject, he offered us everything we were looking for PLUS more for such a great price. He is so kind & respectful and made our engagement shoot super enjoyable. We were super nervous going into our shoot because neither of us are good with the camera, but alex guided us throughout the entire process and was incredibly helpful and patient. He had us laughing the entire time which made it super easy to capture those beautiful, raw moments. The final images are everything we could have hoped for and more. We are so grateful to have such wonderful memories thanks to Alex. We cannot wait for him to capture our special day.

Pawel and I have know each other for more years than either one of us care to admit. We met the old fashion way, in a bar and have been married for 10 amazing years. In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

Jenn and Pawel Photography were the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we booked them, their communication was easy, friendly and professional. They felt like part of the family, working seamlessly with everyone to capture all the special moments. Jenn and Pawel have an amazing artistic eye, turning every setting into a work of art. They brought wonderful ideas, were never bossy, and just got the job done with enthusiasm. We couldn't be happier with the incredible photos that beautifully preserve the joy of our wedding day. Hands down, Jenn and Pawel are the best photographer team around!

Wild Irish Rose Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Joshua Tree, CA

I run on shenanigans, sassiness, and an obscene amount of coffee. And I grew up in the mountains so that makes me a wildflower at heart and a mountain girl through and through. When we meet be prepared for me to crack jokes, laugh loudly, gesture wildly, and run full sprint towards something I think is pretty (while trying not to die). I believe in embracing life with a whole lot of weirdness, far too much smart-aleck humor, and every single ounce of fierce passion, obsessive gratitude, profound inspiration, and reckless joy that I can forcefully wring out of this adventure called life. So that's me.

Writing a review for Kristin is really hard because there are so many good things to talk about. When I started looking for a photographer, I became quickly discouraged when looking at so many websites but found they weren't easy to navigate or find information on. When I found Kristin's, I immediately felt enlivened and excited because first off, her website had so much information and was so easy to use. The more I explored, the more I was impressed by her organization, information provided, galleries uploaded, and how she presented herself. She was the first and only photographer I showed my fiancé and then immediately booked a consultation with. On our first call, we were immediately struck by how comfortable she made us feel and excited about taking photos as neither of us knew what to expect. We went in to the appointment expecting no availability and/or to not be able to afford her with our budget. We were blown away that she was free on our date and that our budget would work. The follow-up email was so helpful as it featured different galleries to showcase the options of packages we talked about of time length. Her packages are so easy to work through and so customizable, we were just amazed at the ease of it! She made the engagement photo session so easy to laugh in and get to know her and the location she picked was amazing. We're both awkward people in front of the camera and she made it so easy to be ourselves. I love her spontaneity to just say, "here's a great spot, let's try this!" She was conscientious to ask about our level of PDA that we were comfortable with and suggested great poses. It didn't even feel like we had someone taking photos of us! As the wedding got closer, her emails provided great resources for me to make a timeline and photo list. She was so gracious when we explained family complications and helped create a photo order for how to navigate that. I honestly felt so cared for and prepared by her in how easily reachable she was, the information provided in emails, and in her thoughtful responses. We had her do rehearsal coverage and we're so thankful we did so that the lightning was adjusted the night before so that it didn't have to be done the day of. The photos of just us and our out-of-town guests and family are priceless. On our wedding day, she was an anchor. She so thoughtfully brought fancy hangers for my dress, extra cloth for detail shots, ring boxes, and you name it, she had it. Despite a million questions, she and the second shooter kept everyone calm and were so gracious even when part of their lunch didn't show up (forever mortified by that.) My getting ready photos/first look with my family are some that I'll treasure as some of my favorites because of the emotion captured. She and her second shooter also got us AHEAD of schedule after the ceremony despite playing having to play catch up. Our private couple's session was so easy to enjoy time together and forget that she was there. Her spontaneity and creative eye found amazing locations on site that created the most amazing photos. The reception photos capture the life and joy that made it such a fun time. We managed to almost run her over during our first dance, but she reacted with such grace that it wasn't noticed by our guests. The sneak peaks were incredible and we were shocked that we got them the next day! They were so special and made us even more eager to see them all. All that said, I can't recommend Kristin enough!

Since the minute I found Ally & Andre's website, I knew I wanted them to capture our wedding day. I was instantly drawn to the beautiful contrast in their photos... so of course I had to look up their IG for more info lol that's when I learned a bit about their personalities and it solidified my choice to book them! Heck, we literally changed our wedding date to ensure we could have these two as our photographers! That said... Ally & Andre were absolutely professional, timely, receptive to my requests & photo ideas (we were able to incorporate my husband's harley into our couple's photos!) and they were kind & understanding with any questions we had. Their delivery of our photos was absolutely beautiful... and they have this wonderful touch of capturing special moments w/ their polaroid throughout the day. I could not say enough good things about this couple.. I am SO SO SO happy that we went with Ally & Andre to capture our special day. I highly recommend them to everyone!!

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!

  • Serves Joshua Tree, CA

I was born in Beirut, raised in an Armenian home where Greek disco and Arabic music played nonstop thanks to my mom. That early blend of cultures shaped my love for exploring the world—I’ve traveled to over 20 countries so far, always drawn to new places, people, and perspectives. Photography became my way of connecting. It lets me dive into different cultures, capture honest moments, and hear stories that stay with me. Becoming a photographer helps fulfill that need to explore, to listen, and to create something meaningful. I treat every event like I’m photographing for family—because the connection always matters.

Working with Bedrosian Photo was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Peter was funny, friendly, and truly cared about capturing our wedding day exactly how we wanted. He had no ego and listened intently to understand our vision. Looking at our photos now, it feels like we're right back at our wedding party - the candid shots are so beautiful and natural. Peter felt more like family than a vendor, and we're so grateful for how he contributed to making our special day so perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer.

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'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. 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.

Wyld Story | Outdoor Wedding Photo & Video 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Joshua Tree, CA

We’re Tucker and Alyssa, the husband and wife duo behind Wyld Story. We specialize in storytelling that feels honest, effortless, and deeply you. We believe wedding photography should feel like hanging out with friends who just happen to have cameras. We’re here to document the real stuff: the belly laughs, the happy tears, the in-between moments that matter just as much as the big ones. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just you, your people, and all the magic that unfolds when you’re fully present on your day. We offer soft direction just to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

There were a lot of unknowns about our wedding. But one decision was easy; choosing Tucker and Alyssa to be our photographers. We have followed Tucker Horton Media on Instagram for a while before we got engaged and when we decided on a venue in southern California, we knew we had to reach out to our favorite Instagram photographers.   Their replies were quick, professional and their quotes were more than fair. We were particularly pleased to learn that engagement photos were included in the quote and took full advantage of that perk as well!   Engagement photos: One thing we loved about working with Tucker and Alyssa was how much space they gave us during our engagement shoot. With all the wedding planning in our heads, they could tell we needed a moment to relax before we could really get the pictures we wanted. Their patience and relaxed presence let us open up and capture some truly beautiful moments. Tucker can chase the light like no other and Alyssa fed us prompts when we were feeling awkward. The result was some really special moments both captured in photo, and felt by the both of us. And! The turn-around time for getting our photos back was way faster than we thought!   Wedding Day: To be frank, our wedding day was more hectic than some. Personalities clashed, and some things fell apart. Through that, Wyld Story found pockets of peace to capture some really beautiful moments and showed incredible grace under pressure.   The final pictures were beyond what we could have expected! One of which we actually turned into a 2000 piece puzzle and is currently hanging in our living room! When we went through the fullness of our wedding photos a couple weeks later, more than once we found ourselves saying, “Wait, that’s us???” just because some of the pictures were so spectacular.   One of the best parts of the Wyld Story package was being able to get a handful of sneak peak photos to pass around at dinner to all of our guests. That extra step was a way for us to keep the celebration going right after the ceremony and was an amazing surprise! We were also amazed at the number of photos we got of our guests that were taken while we were off doing other things. During our wedding day, we found ourselves pulled in so many directions as we interacted with all of our guests. After the wedding day, we got to relive different parts of our reception that we had initially missed and smile in the moments that our guests got to enjoy.

Congratulations, you’re in love! I’m Danya Izarraraz, a Palm Springs-based wedding photographer with a passion for storytelling and a passport ready for wherever your love leads.

Whether you're eloping or throwing a festival-style celebration, I’ll be there camera in hand, probably dancing and singing alongside, capturing it all from the inside. I love getting to know my couples so I can tell your story and create a gallery that is personal, timeless, and unforgettable for years to come!

We had an amazing experience working with Danya for our elopement, she's laid back and easy going while also providing us with direction when needed. She had a lot of experience shooting around Palm Springs and had suggestions for places that would fit our vibe and schedule. Our photos turned out sooo beautifully and the sneak peeks came back super fast. Highly recommend!!

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Joshua Tree, CA

I'm a digital and film Wedding Photographer in Los Angeles, CA. I'm trilingual and multicultural -- and it's my favorite thing about me. I will travel Southern California for your love story, from San Diego to LA, to Santa Barbara. My style is documentary and photojournalistic with a bit of an editorial and creative charm. I do not bend and sway with the trends of the current day, instead I focus on your unique wedding day to capture timeless imagery. As the moments unfold before me, I will help tell your story. I want you to look back on your images and be able to still feel the emotions within them for decades to come, truly.

My husband and I feel incredibly lucky to have found Fatima as our photographer. When I started my search, I knew I wanted someone who could capture timeless moments, had a passionate and personal documentary style, and she absolutely delivered. From our very first conversation, I knew she was the one for us. Fatima is not only incredibly talented, but she’s also kind, caring, and so professional. She has an amazing eye for what works, and we trusted her completely. Our engagement and wedding photos are an absolute dream—beyond anything I could have imagined. We continue to receive endless compliments on them, and we always rave about Fatima’s work. If you’re considering Fatima, just do it—you won’t regret it! 3
