Well well well....where do I even begin Back in 2024, I answer to an inquiry from a bride who was looking for a DJ, because hers was not falling through properly. Ashley found me less than 50 hours before her wedding. I lived In the general area, so her wedding wasn't too far from me. In the midst of wedding planning, Ashley and her soon-to-be husband were also handling family tragedies in the background. As a vendor myself who has lost her parent, I knew exactly how she felt. We quickly transitioned into how we can make their Day a perfect one, Despite everything going on in the background. I wanted to keep my bride happy and healthy as much as possible, and to keep her family in mind. Ashley was sweet, organized, and strong no matter the stress she faced. After getting to know Ashley more, We quickly became buddies over 2025! With her being a photographer, and me being a DJ, we had ended up crossing paths several times throughout 2025 and now into 2026, as partners. Her and I work hand in hand together to make sure that all weddings run smoothly, That our couple stays happy, And sometimes we can easily switch rolls of good cop, bad cop when we need to For crowd control! She is my right hand gal, And I can't wait to see what the future holds for both of us as vendors, and as friends!

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed. One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding. We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Portraits by Sean to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture the magic of their day!

He worked so hard on the day of our wedding to get the best shots, and was very kind and helped us a lot with organizing order of events. He had great ideas for poses and was very mindful to get all the pictures we wanted with family members and bridal party.

Heather makes sure to cover all bases and offers so many helpfully tips which is so nice when you have so many other things going on. We used them for our engagement photos and they were able to make a trip back out to us after we had to reschedule due to weather. The turnaround time for those photos was great and the quality of work was not compromised by how quickly we got them. For our wedding day they were able to catch all the best moments without making the day feel like it was all about photos.

My name is Ali Cushing; a NY-based photographer working in a blended documentary and editorial approach, emphasized with a cinematic method, and a personalized, true to life editing style. I am honored to be entrusted with depicting genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizing precious memories. I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.

Canyon & Pine: Wedding Photography + Films 
Rating: 5.0 (22 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Serves Monterey, LA

Emma & her team have been photographing weddings for 13 years, building Canyon & Pine as a husband-and-wife studio rooted in experience. Before weddings, Emma worked as a photojournalist — a background that still shapes the way she sees a wedding day unfold: quickly, intuitively, and with an eye for the moments that matter long after the cake is gone. Their work balances artful candids with guided portraits that feel natural, romantic, and genuinely fun. The editing is timeless, and the priority is always the same: the people. Parents. Grandparents. Best friends. The faces you’ll want framed when the years start to stack up.

Awarded Best of Zola
LONG REVIEW but PLEASE read it all! Canyon and Pine are worth the booking!!! TLDR: Book Canyon and Pine if you want someone reliable, capable, and CRAZY talented (especially if you are an introvert!!). Emma SAVED our wedding from being ruined by a coordinator. For context, I have been photographing portraits for 10 years and have photographed two weddings. There's a LOT that goes into both weddings and good photos so we (I, haha!) were really picky when choosing a wedding photographer. From the moment we first connected with the team at Canyon & Pine, we knew we were in good hands. We were nervous about having photos taken but their friendly, cooperative, and personalized approach put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. From day one, we felt incredibly comfortable coming to Emma with any and all concerns, questions, and ideas. When you book with Canyon & Pine, you really are booking quality artistic storytelling. The personable, humorous, and down to Earth team shown on their website is exactly what you get in person. We chose to book a package which included an engagement session in which Emma went above and beyond providing outfit suggestions, reminders, and other helpful guides to make our engagement session memorable and beautiful. She then drove out FIVE HOURS to meet us at sunset in Oklahoma and capture the most beautiful photos on top of a whole mountain! My husband and I are NOT camera people, I cannot stress how comfortable Emma made these two introverts. I also did bridals with Emma. Trust me when I tell you NOBODY will make you feel more comfortable than she does. I was going through some major health issues at the time of my bridal portraits and just didn't feel or fully look like myself. Emma found a way to make me look stunning. -- I'm really proud of these photos and will show them to every and anyone who asks (or not, haha!). She truly helped me feel beautiful in front of the camera. On the day of our wedding, Canyon & Pine's thoughtful and personable demeanor helped us stay calm and focused on enjoying the moment. The quality of their work was absolute perfection - they captured every detail with incredible precision. Nothing was overlooked and they took great care to make sure every single feeling was highlighted throughout the day (and there were a lot!). Special and priceless moments were constantly caught on camera despite the craziness of the day. On our day, there was a significant issue with the coordinator that threatened to derail the whole wedding. Emma stepped in and saved the day, ensuring our wedding ran smoothly and playing the part of coordinator and photographer. She went above and beyond, considering every last detail and helping us have fun during incredibly stressful moments. Because of Canyon and Pine, we can now look back on our wedding day and see it as beautiful, touching, memorable, and unforgettable instead of the disaster it surely would have been without Emma's help and knowledge. We will be booking Canyon & Pine for all of our future photography needs, from family photos to pregnancy announcements. At the end of the day, when booking a wedding photographer, you're booking someone you feel you can trust to be there every step of the way, leave no photographic stone unturned, and help you look your best. Emma is your girl and Canyon and Pine is your place.

I’m a wedding photographer based between New York City and Atlanta, capturing weddings as they unfold rather than directing how they should feel. My approach is quiet and observant — present enough to anticipate moments, but never interrupt them. The day moves naturally, and the images follow.

Awarded Best of Zola
After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

Since 2022, I’ve been telling love stories with an editorial eye and a documentarian’s heart. My work lives in that space where timeless elegance meets honest emotion—where the unposed and the beautifully composed exist side by side. Whether it’s an intimate elopement in a quiet corner of the world or a grand celebration surrounded by hundreds, my approach is grounded in trust, subtlety, and intention. I believe in honoring every story, every culture, every kind of connection, with care and with artistry.This isn’t just about beautiful photos. It’s about capturing what’s real and making it unforgettable.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I have been soooo fortunate to have been able to do multiple photo shoots with her! From our engagement photos(proposal), our engagement announcement photos, and finally our wedding pictures. She was perfectly and exceptionally able to capture all aspects from those days. I couldn’t think of anyone better to recommend from talent to professionalism and personality wise. Her work speaks for itself!
