Consistency you can
count on.
After 2,500+ weddings and fifteen years in business, we've built our reputation on consistency. Not just showing up, but delivering images that exceed expectations every single time, regardless of weather, timeline changes, or challenging lighting situations.
Our team includes multiple lead photographers, which means your wedding is covered by experienced professionals with backup systems, redundant equipment, and real-time image backup to multiple cards. We've been featured in Vogue Weddings, Harper's Bazaar, and Grace Ormonde, but what matters more to us is the trust couples place in us to capture the moments they'll look back on for the rest of their lives.
Los Angeles weddings come with unique logistical challenges. Traffic patterns shift dramatically depending on day and time, venue access can be complicated, and the sheer geographic spread of the county means careful planning is essential. We've learned to account for these realities when building timelines with couples, ensuring portrait time doesn't get eaten by the 405 on a Saturday afternoon.
There's a difference between photographing
a venue once and truly knowing it.
We've photographed over 20 weddings at each of Los Angeles's major venues, which means we've seen every lighting condition, worked through every logistical challenge, and discovered portrait opportunities that most photographers miss entirely.

Destination WeddingsLos Angeles is one of the most
culturally diverse cities
in the world.
We've been privileged to document hundreds of cultural weddings throughout the region. These celebrations often span multiple days with ceremonies, traditions, and family dynamics that require photographers who understand what's happening and why it matters.
Los Angeles hosts some of the most elaborate Indian and South Asian weddings in the country, with venues throughout the region accommodating multi-day celebrations for hundreds of guests. We've photographed Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, and Jain ceremonies across LA, from the Langham and Beverly Wilshire to convention centers and private estates. We understand the significance of events from the Mehndi and Sangeet through the Baraat, ceremony, and reception. Multi-day coverage requires stamina and consistency, and our team approach ensures fresh photographers for each event while maintaining stylistic continuity throughout your celebration.
Los Angeles is home to the largest Persian community outside Iran, and we've photographed hundreds of Persian weddings throughout the city. The Sofreh Aghd ceremony, with its elaborate symbolic spread, requires careful documentation of both the overall scene and the intimate moments between couple and family. We understand the significance of the mirror ceremony, the honey exchange, and the sugar-rubbing tradition, and we position ourselves to capture these moments without disrupting the ceremony's flow.
From Orthodox celebrations with specific religious requirements to Reform and secular ceremonies that incorporate selected traditions, we've photographed Jewish weddings across Los Angeles's synagogues, hotels, and private venues. We understand the flow from Ketubah signing through Bedeken, the ceremony under the Chuppah, the breaking of the glass, and the joyful Hora at the reception. For observant couples, we work within religious restrictions while still providing comprehensive coverage of your celebration.
Los Angeles is home to the largest Armenian community outside Armenia, centered in Glendale and extending throughout the region. Armenian weddings often feature traditional church ceremonies followed by elaborate receptions with live music, traditional dancing, and extensive family involvement. We've photographed at Armenian Apostolic churches throughout LA and understand the ceremony's flow and significance. The energy of Armenian receptions is unmatched, and we've learned to anticipate the key moments of celebration that families want captured.
Koreatown and the broader LA Korean community celebrate weddings that often blend traditional Pyebaek ceremonies with Western elements. The Pyebaek involves ritual bows, symbolic foods, and family blessings that we document with care. Korean weddings in LA might take place at traditional venues, hotels, or Korean-American churches, and we've photographed across all these settings. The combination of deeply meaningful traditions and joyful celebration makes these weddings particularly rewarding to photograph.
An incredible variety
of locations.
Most of our wedding couples include an engagement session in their collection. Beyond giving you beautiful images to use for save-the-dates and wedding websites, engagement sessions serve a practical purpose: they're a chance for us to work together before your wedding day. You'll learn how we give direction, we'll learn how you respond to prompts, and by the time your wedding arrives, we'll already have a working relationship established.

The historic core around City Hall and the Bradbury Building provides architectural grandeur. LACMA's Urban Light installation has become iconic, while the Walt Disney Concert Hall's curves create striking contemporary backdrops.
From Malibu's rocky coves to Santa Monica's wide expanse to the South Bay's relaxed atmosphere, LA's coastline offers diverse beach options. El Matador State Beach in Malibu provides dramatic sea stacks and caves. Point Dume offers cliff-top views. Manhattan Beach combines sand with the charm of a beach town.
