PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY

      • Photographers

    • Ryan Phillips Photography I love Ryan's work--the images are crisp, dazzling, and stylish, never posed, always thrilling. The style is photojournal with a dash of romantic album cover/magazine--top stuff, as you'll see when you check out his website--just be prepared to fall in love with his photos and book him right away. On an experiential note, he's a respectful shooter (meaning he's not underfoot--one of my highest compliments); his shots are candid and exciting, and he's one of the few lensers I know who is equally adept in color and black-and-white. He's based in Thousand Oaks but works widely, so from Santa Barbara phones call 805.405.2131 or Los Angeles 310.882.0964.
    • Jen Harris Photography Want to look like a movie star on your wedding day? Jen's your gal. Her work has a classic Hollywood feel without the self-consciousness of lesser photographers, and she'll bring out your inner twinkle with a gentle hand. Call her at 951.212.8973 and check out her website (we dig her warm and artistic engagement shots, too.)
    • Will and Naomi Henshall--Henshall Photography This husband and wife team has got it going on--they are delightful and smart as people, but their images will blow you away with their freshness, fun, and detail. They combine classic and environmental portraiture with editorial-style photojournalism to obtain a look/feel right out of your favorite magazines and movies. Bonus points: you can not only check out their photos online, but their blog will show you exactly what their photo albums look like and how they are created. Book now! Mr. and Mrs. Henshall are in demand: 323.333.9833 for avail or email via the website.
    • Imagery Immaculate Photography--Chris Griffiths I can't say enough great things about Chris and his work, but here's a sampler: a smart, respectful shooter with a gracious attitude, easy to work with, excellent response time, terrific photo blog, stellar client list, and rapid access to your event day photos online (with music, even.) Need I say more? Check out the online photo gallery, call 562.537.6844 or email iiphoto@mac.com--tell him hi from me.
    • Anne Ruthman Photography Anne's based in Indiana but she shoots all over the country and the world--yeah, she's that good, and has a couple awards to prove it. She's passionate about green living as well as obtaining honest and unscripted images from your wedding day--she's not going to interrupt the action to force a shot, but will be there when your lovely moments are happening to document them in her inimitable way. If you want to get a sense of who Anne is (and you do) check out her blog and then call her at 888.678.ANNE for avail. As of this writing she's all booked up for 2008 but you can check out her online schedule page to see if she's had a cancellation or if you're planning ahead for 2009.
    • Steven Lam Photography Steven's background is in commercial and celebrity photography, so he knows how to quickly create photos that are powerful and cinematic. He specializes in destination weddings but is happy to capture your lifestyle wedding here in town, too; your day will be carefully documented in timeless images. Check out the website and call 323.350.0808 for availability.
    • Chris Diset Photography Chris's images are uniquely magical, organic, and everyone seems illumined with an inner light of love--that's a pretty good look for a wedding day, dontcha think? Check out the slideshow on the website, or call 949.939.8417.
    • Charlotte Lee Photography You'll like Charlotte; her work is simple and precise and mystically good. Check out her gallery online and give her a call at 310.210.4341.
    • Rob Greer Photography Rob has a great sense of composition that's clean and contemporary, but also conveys intimacy and spontaneity. His work has been featured in many publications and he brings out the kicky style of your day without losing its grandeur. Check out the "Favorites" gallery on his website to see what I mean if you think I'm just lining up adjectives. 626.523.3123 for avail.
    • Tuan Nguyen Photography--Wedding PhotoJournalism The striking colors and composition of Tuan's work are compelling enough, but his ability to capture the emotional moment without stilted poses or insipid direction moves his photos into the realm of the supernal. Plus, he's easy to work with and won't invade your day--you know what I mean. Check out his online portfolio and wedding blog if you need convincing. 626.476.2674
    • Edna Eudave, Square Eye Photography Orange County-based Square Eye not only brings a passionate and spontaneous look to your wedding photos, but offers great album design to enhance your images in book form. Edna also does portraiture, engagement shoots, and intimate photo sessions for ladies (if you know what I mean) that are spicy and modern--none of that old-fashioned lingerie-catalog stuff. Think your new husband will mind? Not if you show him the results on your wedding night. 714.420.8285
    • Laura Grier and Mitch Burmeister, Beautiful Day Photography If you're looking for that wedding-mag look and need a shooter that's attentive to your style as well as detail, check out Beautiful Day Photography and their array of services, including package rates with hair/make-up, bound albums, online viewing, and engagement sessions. We even love visiting the beautiful digital beach on their website when we need a break. Definitely check out their online gallery and call 877.500.5070 for info and avail.
    • Harper Smith Photography Harper shot a MarriageToGo beach elopement recently and she did a great job; not only did the images convey the beauty of the locale and the day, but I didn't even know she was there--and this is no small feat considering the wedding consisted of just me, the bride, and the groom! Sweet to work with and good stuff: 818.201.7000 and review her online wedding gallery here.
    • Scott William Lightner, Contemporary Wedding Photography The "light" in Scott's surname is apt; he has a way with light and color that will amaze you.

Check out his online gallery and services, then call 310.980.8888 for availability.

Visit the Dreamcatcher website for more, but a heads-up if you're in a hurry: the navigation interface on their Flash-driven website takes a little longer to view. 310.325.2437.
    • Orchid Photography I was very impressed by Toni Rosati of Orchid Photography, a West L.A.-based studio that offers excellent quality and service for couples seeking wedding photography at reasonable prices. You receive your negatives (for keeps!) within two weeks of your wedding, but Orchid's happy to do your albums if you'd rather not fuss.

BYOC (Bring Your Own Castle.) 626.462.9419 and check out their lovely online gallery.
    • Sae Lee Portrait Gallery Mr. Lee is a veteran wedding photographer who will charm you with his imaginative and subtle ideas for capturing your ceremony and celebration. One of the things I personally appreciated was his calm guidance and creativity in directing unique photo ops (a refreshing distinction from the far-too-common amateur wedding photographer with his annoying canned ENTHUSIASM�! when directing.) Call Mr. Lee at 310.652.7007 and enjoy his website slideshow (with cool jazz combo accompaniment very much like his style: classy, fun, and upbeat.)

I've personally seen her excellent direction, and with her skilled eye you'll get photos to cherish. Check out her website for sample pics or call 818.597.1792 for more information.
    • ES Photography "Yummy" is a word that could be used to describe Ellice's lush and dynamic photos. "Intimate", "elegant", "awesome", and "Vive L'Amour!" also spring to mind. You must check out her work online and/or call her at 310.600.5281.
    • Jeff Carrillo Jeff's work speaks for itself. He's a comprehensive but not in-your-face photographer who'll get rich, spontaneous shots of your bridal preparations, ceremony, and reception. Check out his online photo album or call 310.867.3738 for booking info.
