We Are Los Angeles Wedding Photographers
Wedding Photography has gone through trends over the last couple of years. We have seen everything from dinosaurs chasing bridal parties, awkward poses, unflattering angles, and bad lighting. We totally understand your dilemma right now. How do you ensure that you will get photos that look different from everything you have seen. How do you know that your photographer will make you look good. How will you know that they will capture photos that tell a story, and that you would be happy to put on your wall. Even more important, how can you be sure that your photographer will make you look your best? As a Los Angeles Wedding Photographer, we have the answer for you.
Our goal is to make sure that your wedding photos capture the gravity and the emotion of your wedding day. From stunning portraits, to incredible moments between you and your loved ones. We know the core foundations that not only make great photography, but also an incredible experience for you and your family.

We believe that wedding portraiture ought to stand the test of time. In other words, your photos should not look cheesy in five to ten years. Our photos blend movement, lighting and storytelling to create unique pieces of art for your album and your home. Even in darkened settings, for instance, an ancient cathedral, where there is no natural light, we know how to create just the right amount, playing with shadows to create visually stunning images.
Simply put, our goal is to provide our clients with a flawless photography experience from start to finish and match your creative vision to a tee.
Now we want to tell yours…

Our 3 Core Styles of Photography

Cinematic
This is the signature MAPhoto style, which blends bursts of color with fashion inspired lighting to unify you and your environment.

Light & Bright

This timeless, classic form of photography will never go out of style.

Creative Candid
If you love seeing the emotion from your wedding day, you will resonate deeply with our second style, which we create by capturing emotional moments as they unfold before our eyes.
