Little Black Book: West Coast Wedding Photographers

The love between you and your spouse is forever—and so are your wedding photos. So it’s important that you hire a photographer who understands your style, personalities, and venue. When you really think about it, the pictures taken at your ceremony and reception will be the memories that you’ll display in your home, revisit every year on your anniversary, and show your grandchildren someday. Nobody understands this more than us. As part of our Little Black Book series, we’ll be sharing our lists of our favorite wedding photographers from across the country. First up, the West Coast.
