Hello! My legal first name is Michael-Angelo (yes, like the ninja turtle), but Michael is totally fine with me. I was born in northern California, then raised in on the central coast, and went to college in southern California. So long story short, I'm a California native through and through. Monterey County is home base for me and honestly it amazes me everyday, considering how geographically smaller it is compared to other regions of California. I get to work in one of the most beautiful landscapes in this country and I will never have a reason to complain. With that being said, my photography emphasizes couples in this landscape. Posing couples is not my main objective, but we all need a little direction every once in a while and that's totally okay too! Of course, I'll tell Uncle Dave to tuck his shirt in on the group family photo on your wedding day, but other than that I'm really looking for genuine candid moments. Sure, "staging" moments are great for social media posts, but I also think that the way you remember your wedding day is also essential. You don't want your memory of your wedding to be some photographer who was shouting commands up until dinner time. I'm a true "people watcher" and I like for moments to unfold in front of me, which means 100% of the time during your wedding day I'm tuned in to everything that's going with you and the people around you. If my style and approach piques your interest, by all means send me a hello and let's talk about your wedding! UPDATED PRICING FOR 2024 DOWN BELOW, JUST CLICK "VIEW PRICES"

I'm a wedding photographer based in Monterey, California and I travel world-wide capturing all people's love stories. I believe in equality, representation, and being kind to everyone. Alright, now that that's said, let's skip to the good part. ⁣I’m a huge comedy lover and will easily choose a comedy show over concert. I’ve seen John Mulaney three times, Jo Koy twice, Seinfeld, and Brian Regan, and also attended ClusterFest in 2019 and got to see my girl crush, Amy Poehler 😍⁣⁣ Tv Shows > Movies. If you reference a well known movie, I might miss it. But if you reference an obscure tv series, I’ll most likely get it and reciprocate. My current fave shows are Arrested Development, Parks & Rec, Schitt's Creek, Kim’s Convenience, IT Crowd, and Seinfeld. But I've also recently been loving Stranger Things, Umbrella Academy, You, and Locke + Key. ⁣HUGE true crime lover. The more messed up it is, the more fascinated I am. I listen to exclusively true crime podcasts and have seen MFM in two live shows. SSDGM! (If you know, you know). Truly, I just love all things "weird" so cults, cryptids, paranormal? Yeah. Let's talk about it. Give me all of the coffee ☕️ and point me in the direction of your favorite local/small businesses because I love to support fellow small-businesses. I used to not be able to eat gluten or dairy until one day my body decided it wanted to be a homie and let me, and I still can't eat raw pineapple or now, sadly, oats. Oh, and I’m allergic to dogs, dust, and pollen, so basically "fun." Literally nobody is more annoying than me at a restaurant⁣ so be assured that none of your requests will annoy me either. HUGE proponent of “no shoes in the house.” I’m part Japanese (on my mom’s side) and that was a strict no-no in our home. Asian mom’s are scary.⁣ I love working out and any kind of movement. Whether it’s a walk, spin class, hike, weight lifting, etc I love it. But I equally love being a potato and binging Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV. Gimme all of your recs plz.⁣ I believe in promoting self-love, confidence, body-neutrality, and general badassery into each of my clients. You don't need to always love your body or the way you look because that's just not realistic. But you shouldn't let it hold you back from enjoying life because you're so amazing and so so much more than your weight 💛 Checkout my website at JeLauPhotography.com to read more about me and view different packages and pricing! Packages start at $6000 for 6 hours of coverage.

OMG HI, I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHECKING OUT MY WEBSITE, I'M SO EXCITED and HOPEFUL to photograph your event in the near future. If you believe in love as I do, then you are in the right place. I absolutely love photographing and capturing real-life moments and creating beautiful portraits of you and your family that you'll be itching to see. I started my first photography class back when I was 14 years old; a freshman at Watsonville High School. I was learning black-and-white photography and developing my own film. When I was just 16 years old my parents got the opportunity to open up their own photography and bridal business and that's where my passion continued to grow. As I continued to learn new skills and develop new interests, I continued my education graduating with a bachelor's degree from CSUMB in Community Health and Human Services. My photography, however, never stopped. I studied during the week but photographed during the weekends, shooting my first wedding at age 18. I continued with both jobs to support my child who is now 21. My passion for helping others just exceeded even more so I continued doing wedding and portraits on the weekends, while I also worked at a non-profit agency with at-risk youth, teen parents and families. Moving forward, I now have a total of 3 children and a wonderful husband who supports me unconditionally allowing me to focus in one job and continue my passion in photography full time. Although It was very difficult to let go of the non-profit world and the relationships I build with families, I had to make a decision that allowed me to stay focus and grow my passion in photography. With my background in serving others and the experience in many weddings and events, I'm more than comfortable and confident you will get a genuine and professional experience. You get amazing and memorial portraits that will last a life time. I look forward to meeting you and to capture your vision and your love story.

Hi, I'm Shannon! As someone who doesn't like getting my picture taken, I think it's incredibly important to keep a fun and laidback approach to photography. I delight in creating comfortable environments to ensure my clients' authentic chemistry are seen through their images. I first became passionate about photography in high school. Since then, I am proud to have developed my hobby into a career path. In addition to wedding photography, I enjoy landscape, astrophotography, senior portraits, family portraits, boudoir, and pet photography (I have two incredibly loving yet energetic labrador retrievers, Jake and Jovie). No matter your photography vision, I would love to help bring it to life. On your big day, I will be there to capture the heartfelt highlights, thoughtful details, and candid moments while we have fun doing so. I'll even join you on the dance floor if you so wish! Many of my clients have become friends, which is probably the greatest gift of being a photographer. :)

Hello! I'm Nico, a nature-obsessed Wedding Photographer based in Santa Cruz, CA. Inspired by my upbringing near the Santa Cruz mountains, I founded Nico Faraj Photography to find new adventures and exciting landscapes to explore. I'm a professional people watcher, a certified #instagramboyfriend, and a lover of all things rad. My portfolio features weddings set in majestic mountains to romantic vineyards. My Approach and Style My journey as a photographer started in college, capturing my travels to faraway places and epic landscapes. My style heavily reflects that; I love incorporating the location where my couples choose to have their weddings. It helps tell the full story of your day so you can relive the emotions that were felt there. Posing you and your guests is not my main objective, but sometimes people need some direction, and that's where I'm here to help! Although there might be some staged photos (like family portraits), my main goal is to be a fly on the wall, capturing people's true emotions and natural, candid moments. During the day, I strategically plan to place myself in the right place at the right time to capture the biggest smiles, uncontrollable laughter, or maybe your mom crying. I'm eager to not only help you remember your big day through these moments but also to ensure that the celebration itself is a success! Ultimately, my goal is for the love you have for each other to be felt through the images I capture. Services Offered As your photographer, I'm down to hike up a mountain, chill on a beach while popping champagne, tell you what to do with your hands, and have a grand ol' time! During an event, I aim to produce 50 images an hour. I provide both quantity and quality to my clients. I deliver the final photographs through an online gallery, which allows you to download the photographs and order prints and albums. I'm open to traveling for destination weddings too. Let me know where you are dreaming of getting hitched, and I'm game to tag along.
