Plan Your Northern California Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

Will is your dream photographer. He was our #1 pick when searching for photographers in the Yosemite area and my husband and I thought there was no way we were going to be able to book him for our intimate wedding. A great way to get to know your photographer? Take a hike with them! We met Will for the 1st time, in person, at a random location he sent us in the park, and immediately it was just like we were exploring with a friend. It was such a fun adventure experience, and something we love telling people we hiked with our photographer! We thought we had a vision for what our photos would be like, but in the end our all-time favorite photos are when we just let Will direct us and we trusted his vision. Will truly is a storyteller, and we are so grateful to have these amazing moments captured to share with our family forever. We got engaged a week before shutdown so we knew it was going to be a struggle to plan anything. Will was constantly communicating with us, and making potential schedule changes for us! 
I can go on and on about Wills work, but Will is just a amazing person to work with. Working with Will will always be one of the best investments we have made, and for anyone who is in the decision process. We cannot wait to continue to follow Will’s work and keep being blown away!

Julia was wonderful to work with! We thoroughly enjoyed our elopement shoot. She was flexible and so kind! Very laid back / easy going personality that puts anyone at ease even if you’re not used to getting photos taken. And wow, elopement photos are so stress free!! If you’re thinking about it, don’t overthink it! You won’t regret the intimate and stress free adventure! What a wonderful memory we’ll always have to look back on, we can’t speak highly enough about Julia and her marvelous photography skills!

You will be in good hands with Michael and his team. He made sure the day ran smoothly, showed up and did whatever was necessary to make sure we had beautiful photos to remember our wedding day. I love our portraits, but having so many additional photos of us enjoying the night with our loved ones and of friends and family enjoying themselves was an added bonus. Michael and Moi also brought fun energy and good vibes to the party, I am so happy they are a part of our memory forever! Michael has been amazing to work with. Michael and his team came highly recommended by many friends, and everyone that I know who have used Michael and his team have been blown away by their engagement, wedding and family photos. My fiancé and I felt so comfortable during our engagement shoot and had so much fun! We received an absolutely stunning photo gallery just a few days later! Michael really pays attention and listens to your needs to make sure the desired style and vibe of your photos come to life. Michael communicates well and provides resources and support to make sure every single detail of your wedding day will run smoothly and be captured accordingly. I cannot wait for our wedding day and would not trust anyone else to capture the memories on our special day!

Where do I begin? Vivian photographed our September wedding in Sonoma and every picture is STUNNING! We love the portraits, but her candids is what really took things over the top. All of our guests look like they're glowing in her photos! She truly captured the joy of the day. I could not stop smiling scrolling through our gallery. She went above and beyond to include a photo of all of our guests. Vivian is super cool. She made sure everyone was comfortable and she kept things on time on the wedding day. We were tight one time, but she got my "getting ready" pictures done in minutes. You would never know by looking at them what a short timeframe she had. Vivian already had a strong working relationship with our wedding videographer. That partnership made things run smoothly from a logistical perspective, but more importantly showed how respected Vivian is in the industry. We're so happy we booked her for our big day!! You won't be disappointed working with Vivian.
