2. Katherine Nicole

Perhaps the best way to explain how high-caliber of a photographer Katherine is: the fact that people who’ve worked with her for wedding or engagement photography are constantly recommending her to their friends and family members for their own weddings and engagements. She’s trustworthy and a total artist. Her photography is cinematic and stunning. She’s clearly obsessed with light and captures some of the most attractive, liquid gold sunsets we’ve ever seen.

3. Liz Zimbelman

Liz Zimbelman quit the corporate life to try her hand at small business ownership. When she worked her first wedding as the second shooter for a photographer friend, she fell in love with the business — as well as the rush, the controlled chaos, and the chance to tell peoples’ love stories. Since then, she has established a name for herself as a wedding and engagement photographer here in Sacramento. Her portfolio is filled with dreamy, romantic, sometimes stately photographs. She finds ways of conveying the dreamy timelessness of falling in love through light, color, and use of gorgeous backdrops. If you want painfully romantic photographs, check Liz’s portfolio out.

Sometimes you just want to hire someone who’s got the accolades to back up their claims of being among the best. Anita Martin has the awards and publications necessary to stake a strong claim to being one of best Sacramento engagement photographers. She’s one of the most adventurous photographers on this list. One thing we love about her work is that she doesn’t spend a ton of time manipulating foreground colors to try to overemphasize the lighting in her photos. We love the rich blues, pinks, purples, and greens of Anita’s photos.

6. The team behind Capture Create Studios

The talented team of photographers and videographers that work at Capture Create Studios are known for the lengths they go through to get to know the couples they work with, to learn their interests, their hobbies, and to truly connect with them on a deeper level.

Overall, she’s very intuitive and puts her intuition to use to capture refreshingly unique photographs.

Cesar picked photography up from his father, capturing his first wedding at the age of 15. And Desserie gradually joined Cesar in his photography work after their own wedding almost two decades ago.
