About this vendor
Hi dears!
I am Halleh (pronounced like the 'halle' in hallelujah) of Halleh Photography & Film in Monterey County, CA. I'm the owner, founder, photographer, filmmaker, personal wedding cheerleader, one-woman show, and obsessed with joy in its cultivation and creation.
I live in gorgeous Carmel Valley in Monterey County and am Kentucky-born and Illinois-raised.
I love seeing you light up and think my best work comes from the organic, unplanned, and spontaneous. No posing and force— just ease, your connection, and your palpable love. That's where the magic happens.
I’m big into laughter, keeping it light-hearted, and looking for flow. So, while you are getting lost in the day, you can be assured that I am hard at work documenting everything and expertly telling your story through beautiful images and film.
Let's capture what makes your heart beat harder.

Where do I begin! Holiday was the absolute best to work with she's super sweet and her photography skills are incredible. It felt like we had a friend there the whole day who had o...
ur back! During our consultation she took the time to answer all of our questions and made us feel so comfortable using her for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. We were so so happy with how everything turned out and I would we would highly recommend her to other couples looking for their wedding photographer. I can't wait to have another reason to hire her photography services!
Halleh has been absolutely amazing to work with and she is super sweet, kind, and helpful. We hired her to photograph our wedding next year and the process has been so seamless and...
smooth. Our engagement shoot gave us such an exciting taste of what to look forward to for our wedding day! If you're looking for Timeless and elegant photography for your wedding you cherish for a lifetime look no further. Halleh is your gal!
Halleh was a pleasure to work with! It was our first couple’s photo shoot, so we were pretty nervous and awkward at first. But Halleh was so professional and patient with us, and a...
fter a little time she made us super comfortable in front of the camera.
Her experience definitely showed when applying her expertise during the shoot. She recommended a lot of different poses, and we arrived in time to take shots while the sun was setting on the beach. Sheer perfection.
The best part was receiving our photos! The quality of the photos are 5 star worthy, so much to the point we gave framed copies away as gifts for our families, and they absolutely loved them.
Ben and I enjoyed every minute of our engagement shoot, and now have these wonderful moments in time to always look back on. Looking forward to future shoots with Halleh as we reach other milestones! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! You won’t regret it!
We had our engagement photos taken by Halleh. I have never really liked having my picture taken, but was willing to put my best foot forward. I was so pleasantly surprised! She was...
able to help me loosen up, and even enjoy the entire shoot. We had so much fun getting the photos, it really felt like a date more than a task to complete. The photos we got are really precious. I was very skeptical about how much the photo shoot would cost, but it was really important to my now wife so I went along with it. I can say now that I am so glad that getting our photos was important to my wife, because now it is important to me too.
Halleh photography was phenomenal to work with. The photographer took the time to get to know my fiancé and I, in order to capture more quality photos and the special surprise film...
was so adorably well put together we were extremely happy with our experience. Halleh wasn't a posing type photographer, sure she gave suggestions on what we could do but instead of feeling awkward she had us converse and came out with some great photos! Next time we are in the area we will use Halleh Photgraphy & Film again!
