How Much Does a Southern California Wedding Photographer Really Cost?
Thinking about wedding photography in the Bay Area?
Here’s the scoop:
Peek At Our Packages »
Prices vary a lot: a newer wedding photographer in Northern California might charge around $2k, while the best Bay Area wedding photographers offering full-day, personalized coverage usually start around $5k and up.
Plan to spend about 10–15% of your total wedding budget on photography — it’s one of the only things you’ll keep forever, so it’s worth the investment.
NorCal wedding photographer pricing usually starts around $4,000 for full-day professional coverage (and can go higher depending on what’s included).
What you’re really paying for is experience, editing style, and how supported you feel from the moment you inquire to the day your gallery drops.
We’re not just any Bay Area wedding photographers... we specialize in helping even the most camera-shy couples feel natural and confident in front of the lens.

...true colors and the photos look like a better version of real life.
Working with them was easy, communication was so thorough and they had great recommendations. I was so grateful that they built out a whole photo schedule for our day and worked with me to tweak it a bit. It helped to have the photos scheduled so we were never rushed throughout the day. I also love that when they deliver the album online you can share the link right away with family and friends. Makes everything SO easy for sharing and you bet my instagram is packed with Onelove photos right now!

"After speaking with Sara, I knew we had to work together. I love that she has a network of photographers part of her One Love team, all trained by her to have the same aesthetic. This made me feel very comfortable knowing that I'd have the same results from anyone on her team. I chose Onelove because I love their style, light and airy, but..
Wondering About the Details?
We’ve Got You Covered
Choosing your wedding photographer is a huge deal. We know you probably have a million questions for us, and we have answers! Click any of the questions below to reveal the intimate details of how we'll make your big day unforgettable.
Don't worry, we're not sticking you with just anybody! While Sara only photographs a limited number of weddings each year, she is deeply dedicated to ensuring your photos are unforgettable. Sara will sit down with you during a personal consultation to get to know you better. From that, she'll hand-pick which of our One Love photographers will be the best fit for you. It's a very thoughtful decision, as she considers factors like your venue, cultural/religious traditions, personal style, as well as your personalities.
Since each member of our team is trained by Sara to shoot in the same style, and personally she edits every client's imagery herself, your photos are guaranteed to look exactly like what you see in our portfolio - no surprises!
However, this pairing is very personal - you get the final say. Once Sara hand-selects the team member for you, we'll send over your photographer's private portfolio to review and approve.
Just about! Our 15 member team lives scattered between the Bay Area and Southern California, allowing us to cover everything from Napa down to Malibu.
Sara lives in the Bay Area and works as a San Francisco Bay Area wedding photographer—all the way down to LA. We have wedding photographers who live in Napa, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and everywhere in-between. Your photographer will be a true local.
If you want to see some of our weddings in your area (or at your dream venue) head to our blog where we house hundreds of weddings to peruse and get inspiration.
Yes, of course! California is a highly desired destination to host weddings. We work with out-of-town couples, celebrities, influencers, and everyone in between. (We even do the occasional travel, if you're a California couple looking to elope with a local photographer you feel comfortable with.)
Most of our out-of-town couples use a wedding planner to help ensure a seamless planning process. If we're your first pick, ask us about our favorite local planners. If you already have a planner, or you're planning this solo - reach out to us to discuss your wedding details. We can't wait to meet you!
From your first inquiry to your final gallery delivery, our process is designed to be smooth, stress-free, and fun. We start with a personal consultation to understand your love story, aesthetic preferences, and dream wedding venues. Then, we’ll help plan your photo timeline and capture your engagement session to get you comfortable in front of the camera.
On your big day, we blend into the background, documenting authentic emotions with a relaxed, documentary style approach. Afterward, your images are edited with care and delivered in a beautiful, shareable gallery you can treasure forever.
We’re not just another group of wedding photographers in Northern California: we’re storytellers who understand that this day only happens once. With deep local knowledge of Bay Area wedding venues, a refined artistic vision, and years of experience, we create imagery that’s both timeless and emotionally true.
Whether you’re getting married at an elegant winery, an intimate estate, or a cozy vineyard tucked away in the hills, our team of Napa and Bay Area wedding photographers will capture your love story in a way that feels genuine and unforgettable.
