Adam Kent Photography 

5.0

Thousand Oaks, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Adam is an absolute delight to work with! We used him for our engagement and wedding photos and not only did he have us laughing the entire time, but all of the photos came out better than I could ever imagine. Adam has the perfect eye for lighting and framing. 100/10 would recommend

Kiernan Michelle Photography 

5.0

Thousand Oaks, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,950

My favorite part about what I do is working with all of the great couples I get to meet. I love getting to know my clients and discovering what is most important to them about their wedding day. Each and every wedding is different and each deserves a unique approach to capture thoughtfully. It is exciting that I get to see into so many different little worlds every day. My motto is to do everything in love, and I feel like that is reflected in my work and attention to detail. Also, its great getting to be around happy people all day!

On your wedding day things go by so quickly and it can be difficult to think back on specific moments or individual details. So, I can't overstress the importance of getting great photos that capture things as they were, rather than just an exciting blur of color and familiar happy faces that your memory will likely be left with. Keeping that in mind, the photographer you choose and trust with such an integral part of your wedding day has to be someone you have full confidence in and, wholeheartedly, I can say that Kiernan meets and exceeds all the expectations of what makes an incredible wedding photographer. She was able to make my (now) husband and I feel relaxed, while also offering VERY helpful and necessary directions of how to pose (down to the way to tilt our head, where to look, where our hands should be, etc) and that was so appreciated! It made me feel so much more confident to know that if something needed to be changed or corrected in order to get the best photo possible, she would notice it and then she’d let us know what we need to do to get that shot. Then, after the wedding, when my husband and I received our sneak peek photos, (which were sent so quickly that we got them while we were still in our post-wedding hotel suite) and we were blown away by how beautiful they turned out. There were so many amazing shots that I loved, I couldn’t pick a favorite... I had at least 10-15 top favorites. To wrap it up, Kiernan is an insanely talented photographer, a true professional and just an overall sweet, lovely person. If you are getting married soon and are looking for a photographer that will be able to deliver photos you will cherish forever AND who will make you feel comfortable and confident while the photos are being taken... I highly recommend Kiernan Michelle Photography, as I sincerely believe she is the best you will find... I know she was for me!

Lu Welter Photography

Thousand Oaks, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Hi, I'm Lu. Weddings are more than just events — they’re a collection of fleeting, beautiful moments that deserve to be remembered just as they felt. From the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the joy on the dance floor, my goal is to capture the raw emotion, the small in-between glances, and all the laughter and happy tears that make your day uniquely yours. Every couple’s journey is different, and it’s a privilege to be trusted with telling yours. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I’m here to ensure your wedding gallery feels as real and unforgettable as the day itself.

There’s a million and one positive things I can say about Lauren. For starters, she helped soooo much with both my engagement photos and my wedding photos. I was adamant that I wanted to take photos in an elevator / bar for my engagement photos and she made sure I got everything I wanted. She is so sweet and so helpful. Not only did she make the wedding timeline and stick to it; she also helped me get in and out of my dress, fixed my heals and made sure I ate throughout the day, and stayed hydrated. She even made sure that the wait staff at our venue brought me and my husband our own plate of appetizers. Her and Sierra were amazing. All of my guests ranted and raved about how helpful and fun they were. The photos she took at both our wedding and engagement shoot were 10/10 PERFECT!! I have found my forever photographer in Lauren and will continue to refer her to family and friends.

Welcome. My Name is Sal and I've been a wedding professional photographer since 2012. My clients consider me to be fun to work with as well as outgoing. I enjoy capturing unique photos of unique people in unique settings. Most of my work is done with natural light which I consider to be the most flattering. I enjoy meeting and working with new people who are outgoing, such as myself.

Working with Saulo was a wonderful experience! He was very professional and it was obvious that he is not only great at what he does, but he’s passionate about it as well. He took the time to scout the layout of our venue to get the best lighting, directed us on how to pose and made us feel comfortable in front of his camera. The photos turned out amazing! I’m so glad he was there to capture the memories from our big day, I wish I could have another wedding just so we can take more photos! I highly recommend!

Your wedding day is filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I’m here to capture them in a way that feels natural, effortless, and truly you. With a calm presence and an eye for storytelling, I focus on the real, unscripted moments—the quiet hand squeezes, the deep belly laughs, the happy tears—so you can relive them for years to come. My approach is simple: Be a steady, supportive presence, document your day with care, and make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you're camera-shy or love being in the spotlight, I'll guide when needed and step back when the magic happens naturally.

Eli Suzuki-Gill Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Eli was very attentive, intentional, and gentle in his approach and communication with us. He asked great questions and I was able to share my vision and how I really imagined us to look and what our vibe was as a couple. We loved our pictures and how they turned out - he really took our wants into consideration and executed the photos in a way that perfectly represented us as a couple. Eli was extremely patient as we were very nervous and stressed for our ceremony, and he checked in to help us get more comfortable and relaxed. He was very professional and easy to talk to, holding the perfect balance between letting us do our own thing while also ensuring we got all the traditional shots to capture the important parts of our special day. He was able to get us the photos within 30 days and we’re so grateful for Eli's hard work and dedication in making our wedding photos truly special.

My husband and I couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience with Brittney! From the moment I met her, I immediately knew I wanted her to be our photographer. At a wedding showcase with 30 other photographers, she was the only one I felt comfortable with. She felt like a friend from the start. Before the wedding, Brittney was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and helping us plan all the perfect shots and details. She knew what to ask and was so patient with us throughout the entire planning process. One of the standout moments from the wedding was when our 1-year-old daughter, who was the flower girl, had a full-on meltdown. Despite the chaos, Brittney was incredibly patient and worked some kind of magic to capture the most gorgeous and creative photos with our screaming toddler! I truly dont know how she did it but we got great shots of everyone. She was even patient with our dog who had to take frequent breaks from the heat! The pictures turned out amazing, and we are so grateful for her patience, her creativity, and her ability to capture the true essence of the day—even the most challenging moments. We had a very small outside ceremony in Long Beach with only our immediate families. Brittney felt like an extension of our family being there. I truly felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also calm, professional, and a joy to work with!

Hello! I’m Laura Ford, a Midwestern native who has fully adopted sunny Southern California as home.

Combining the perfect setting with the right color palate and a bit of art direction for my clients is my superpower. My approach for portraits can be described as editorial, and my goal is to artfully capture the essence of you!

Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were attentive, willing to get on the phone with us, and on top of any changes we needed to make. They explored our venue ahead of time to find the best photo spots, guided us through the entire process, and delivered our photos with a super quick turnaround. Laura and her team really took the time to get to know my husband and I, which made the whole experience feel so personal. They were also incredibly flexible and willing to work with all the dynamics of my family. Laura is simply wonderful, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that captured our special day.

We are Dustin and Courtney, best friends and photographers. Before we shot weddings together we were a bride and groom. Yep, dated and married in less than a year! We just knew we wanted to do life together. As time has gone by we learned much more important things about each other. For example, Dustin’s heart can easily be won over with a hot cup of coffee, surfing, chasing our kids and any action movie. Courtney's perfect day includes drinking a chai latte, going for a hike with the family and shopping.

Dustin and his team were truly a delight to work with for my wedding! He is so kind, creative, attentive, profressional, positive, energetic and makes you feel at ease during your event. My husband does not like to take photos and he had nothing but great things to say about Dustin. And the pictures of course were amazing! Do not hesitate to book Dustin for your next event, you won't regret it!

My approach to photography is a blend of capturing photojournalistic candid moments and editorial portraits with thoughtful details, and beautiful light. I've always been a bit rebellious, a bit poetic, and I always knew I wanted to be a photographer, creatively telling stories like yours.

From start to finish, Danyell Ellis justified our confidence in her by maintaining a professional, precise and flexible approach. Her skilled, technical and thoughtful work captured all the special moments of our wedding day. Danyell had completed our family formals in record time, and thoroughly examined the venue to maximize the potential for beautiful and thoughtful photos. We are so grateful for her artistic eye and technical abilities, which allowed her to fulfill our vision perfectly. I cannot recommend Danyell Ellis Photography enough for your special day.

As a lifelong dancer, Loretta established herself as one of the most sought after dance photographers. Her love and understanding of movement gives her a unique insight into capturing life in motion. The pursuit for finding people in their most candid moments is a passion that has taken Pamela all over the world. Capturing people in their most raw and honest moments has become the foundation of her “heart-led” photography.

Monique and Laura were a dream to work with. I could tell they love what they do because our photos really show that. They had to wrangle up quite a party for formal photos (we have a huge family). And they did it with patience and grace. The background photos of our beloved friends and family are wonderful. Highly recommend and would use them for any future events.
