Couples who make this decision do so because photography stands out as one of the most important aspects of their special day. They know that the story of their day should be told in an honest and creative way, with as little orchestration as possible.

I'm based in Los Angeles but UK born, so I spend a lot of time in Europe, and as a Destination Wedding Photographer I am open to photographing weddings anywhere in the world. I'd love to hear from you if my work makes you smile.

Matei Horvath

Los Angeles, CA

3 Fearless Awards

Hi! My name is Matei. I was born in a family of artists in the heart of Transylvania, Romania. When I was two years I got my hands on my dad's old plastic camera and...everything kind of snowballed from there. Took my first picture when I was six -on film. I studied and received a Master Degree in Fine Art and photography; I also started teaching photography at the University. After moving to California I worked for years as a photojournalist but once I discovered wedding photography have never looked back.

Always loved telling a story through an image. And I love taking pictures of people. In a wedding, everything that I've learned over the years comes together like a puzzle: photojournalism, fine art photography, editorial and portrait photography, all into one. It never ceases to amaze me- with weddings, how everything is old and everything is new again. Everything you think you know you don't as every single couple, every single family and culture bring something new and exciting to the table. The only thing predictable is the unexpected.

I travel a lot shooting weddings and I love it, whether is Continental US, Mexico and Europe.

Alex Shevchik

Los Angeles, CA

2 Fearless Awards

The photo always accompanied me throughout my life. For each of my heroes, I create a unique story, and I try to immerse the viewer in this story as much as possible. I try to make each frame as creative as possible and show the uniqueness of each person, highlighting all its advantages. My main task is to convey in the photos the mood and emotions.

Eleonora Barna

Los Angeles, CA

1 Fearless Award

I could never pretend that I have captured something exactly so.
How can I? It is merely my interpretation of the moment that once stilled is no longer it, as experienced. But what I can do is hopefully
evoke the emotions felt at the time, Recapturing the feeling.

I find it odd that I'm so intrigued by photography and striving to capture the fleeting that is most perfect as is. This is my struggle. I want to move you and remind you of that which can never be recaptured.

I am deeply drawn to an art that is only to be absorbed and never seen again. Is that what I'm trying to do? Show you the impossible? I love fun, color, story, darkness, all things human. I want to be truthful and give you a morsel of me, as well as let you know, you are in good hands.

Fabian Gonzales

Los Angeles, CA

I have a little boy who brings me happiness, he gives me peace despite his mischief and I always want to stop the time because he is growing fast. It's for that I understand the important what it is to save this memories and to have beautiful portraits it will last forever. For That I always hire professional photographers who let me to enjoy my moments while they know how to capture my memories. I haven't always been behind the camera and thanks to my experiences I can understand what the people can feel when they are ahead of the camera.

Although photography is an art that I love and I'm pretty self-taught, I think that one must always have a constant capacitation to improve the result, for that's I still study and travel to catch new experiences, trends and new point of view.

I love the music a lot, when I was in the school I studied Piano and in my youth time I belonged a pair rocks bands, now I've stopped play the piano but I turn-on my keyboard to teach music basic concepts to my little boy. I love the SALSA however when I'm editing photos or I go to some session, I like to listen romantic music because it helps me to inspire me. Another art what captivates me and inspire me is the CINE, I love to analyze the movies in all its aspects, especially the photography direction, a lot images than I watch in the movies it servers me of supports for more inspiration

David Jon

Los Angeles, CA

I am inspired by the idea of capturing the deep emotions of life and the essence of what makes us human. I care about people and want to know what makes you passionate in life. Photography is the vehicle I use to share stories, with the goal of provoking the viewer to feel empathy for people.

I live by a quote from photojournalist Robert Capa, the lone surviving photographer from the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. He said, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." I want to get as intimately close to your story as possible, because I believe that's where great moments are captured and even greater stories are discovered.

Curious yet? Reach out and lets get coffee. Share your story. Let's capture, discover, and push the boundaries of creativity with me and my team. The only limit is your imagination.

Leo Do

Los Angeles, CA

Being more confident standing behind the camera and creating the stories than writing, I could only help you to understand more about my philosophy about photography.

I always believe photographs were a way to "freeze" cherished moments and memories. I think that they cannot be reproduced, and without a camera, they would be gone forever. So, every day, I pursue the love of photography and have learned new ways to see the world through lenses.

Presently, I decided to build a milestone in my journey by offering service as a wedding documentary photographer to clients! I look forward to showing them my unique perspective in capturing their precious moments and memories as a way to preserve them for years to come.

My journey continues, and I hope you will join me!

My goal is to deliver honest storytelling of your wedding day with several goals in mind - To be genuine, devoted to realism, and faithful to your personalities as an individuals and as a couple. I document the openness you have with each other, your family and friends, and convey a visual message that resonates in your heart.

I do not follow a checklist of pre-determined poses that reflect who I want you to be for the camera. You are not mannequins. You are living, breathing, energetic and vibrant beings. We work together to find genuine sincerity in every moment. I will direct you through the portrait session in a way that draws out your unique personality while also conveying an artful aesthetic.

Mentors and peers describe my work as 'straddling the cinematic and photojournalism genre.' I look to frame you in both light and shadow. It is in our everyday life, and should be a central character in your story. It creates mood, depth, nuance, passion, mystery, contrast and harmony - just as in real life.

Photography for me is more than just snapping a picture. It's about catching those special moments and little details that otherwise people would have never seen. I can honestly say that I am my toughest critic. This motivates me to challenge myself and to push myself to the limits to create images that will leave my clients in awe.

My passion for photography allows me to always be creative and to document every wedding in a unique way. I strive to provide the same customer service and personal interest in my clients that I would expect from others. The fact that I have always been able to surpass my client's expectations is what has given me the success that I have achieved until now.

Brandi Potter

Los Angeles, CA

If you've made it this far you care about your images being cinematic and conveying emotion. You want the REAL moments, while also feeling like your wedding photos could be hanging in a museum.

You crave having an experience you can obsess over later, instead of just hiring someone to 'get the job done'. You should feel loved and cared about through the entire process, and like you have a friend who understands weddings can be VERY stressful at times.

Mercy Hasselblad

Los Angeles, CA

When I was a child, my mother, a true artist, took a lot of photos of us. Artistic, beautiful, sensitive photos that captured emotion, light, and love. I never thought about it when I was a kid. It was just what my mom did. But as an adult, I now realize the power of those photos to bring back memories.

Memories of people, times, and emotions that may no longer exist. It dug up those emotions and reminded me of a simpler time, of simple loves and hates, of ambitions and accomplishments.

This is why I take photos. I take photos to remind people. To show them, in beautiful, artistic style, the love they have on this day. The way he makes you smile. The look on her face when you pledged your love forever.

That's why I take photos.
