    Soooo good!

    Liz and her team are fun, professional, and so so talented. We wanted a photographer who captured moments and not super staged photos and Liz and her team were the perfect selection to execute that. Every single person who Ive shown our previous have just said "are you kidding me". You cant go wrong with Liz!

    10/10 recommend!

    Liz was 10/10 incredible to work with! She had the perfect balance of directing us what to do (much needed when the entire bridal party was 20 people!) but also let us have fun through the process. We didn't want anything too staged, and she did a great job matching our style. We received a couple photos the day after the wedding and had many wedding guests text me saying "wow your photographer's pictures are UNREAL!". We are so excited to see the rest of the photos and relive the best day!

    Hire liz!

    Liz is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. She photographed our wedding in January and I can’t recommend her enough. She is very talented and the photos we’ve received so far are incredible.

    First, communication prior to the event was easy and straightforward. What we enjoyed most though is her personality – she made everything calm and fun and put us both at ease. So many people in our families and bridal party commented on how wonderful she was to work with. She went above and beyond to help the flow of the day after we had an unexpected schedule interruption – no issue for Liz. She even secured my veil for me (on a VERY windy day and it didn’t budge) and transported us to our reception after the ceremony. We also loved working Jacqueline and Linda.

    I think the average person isn’t accustomed to having professional photographers follow them around (we certainly aren’t) but Liz and her team made us so comfortable. By the end of the night, we wanted them to stick around and party with us! We definitely plan to hire Liz again in the future.

    Thank you so much Liz!!

    Perfect, Amazing Photos

    We were so happy we chose Liz as our wedding Photographer. She captured beautiful photos that day, she was everywhere for every moment, yet I hardly remember her as she kept out of the way from the event happening naturally. I'm so happy with my pictures and her friendly personality. She was flexible with us and had great communication. We definitely highly recommend Liz! Thank you!

    Stick with Liz!

    Not only is Liz incredibly talented, but she is funny, personable, and has a way of making her clients feel so comfortable and at ease. She is an absolute joy to work with and the results are simply stunning. Her photos have a classic and timeless feel to them. As soon as our ceremony ended and Liz left, everyone of our family members commented on how much they liked her. I cannot thank her enough for capturing our little wedding in such a beautiful and special light. I will definitely be coming back to Liz for future life events!

    Fantastic!

    Liz was absolutely amazing. From the initial meeting, to the day of our wedding Liz and her team were in full control. Our pictures turned out amazing. She put up with my husband and his jokes all day. The two of them worked perfectly together. We loved her so much that we booked a mini session for some holiday photos as well. Liz was the best investment of our wedding and we would recommend anyone getting married to give her a call and see for yourself just how wonderful Liz truly is.

    Sparkly Feelings with Liz

    I hired Liz after meeting her at an open house at our venue. She was super quirky and so kind, we meshed immediately. Reviewing our contract, she was very professional. My engagement pictures turned out so nicely. I did have a mini-melt down a little after and emailed her about my issues (NOTHING she did) and she was so sweet and reassuring. Liz's work is consistently top notch and she is obviously passionate about what she does. I can't wait to get married and see what miracles she can work!

    Quality wedding photos AND fun

    If you are looking for the perfect wedding photographer, Liz is your lady! I was referred to Liz by a coworker who had also booked her for a wedding. When my fiance and I first met with Liz, we had an instant connection and knew that she would not only deliver great photos, but keep us laughing and having a good time while we took them. We had an engagement photo session with Liz about 9 months before our wedding and we were blown away when we got the pictures back. What an awful problem when you have so many great photos you can’t decide which ones to use for save the dates! When it came to the big day, Liz and her second shooter arrived right on time ready to roll. Liz was also so sweet with our two nieces, 7 and 3, and made an extra effort to get good smiles from them (even when it was a little challenging).

    Liz and her second shooter captured every element of our big day from the moment they arrived to when it was time for them to leave in such a beautiful way and we were so excited when the photo gallery was ready. We’ve received endless compliments on how well our photos turned out and looking at them helped us to relive our special day all over again. Liz was incredibly professional and will capture every important moment and detail of your wedding. We had such a wonderful time with her and never thought taking photos would be so fun.

    Outstanding in every way

    I absolutely love Liz. She is so amazingly talented and fun to work with. Her personality is infectious and one that brings out all the good things in you. She made having our pictures taken so much fun and completely relieved any anxieties we had about do it. Every interaction with her leading up to the wedding was nothing short of stellar. Her work is so incredibly beautiful. She uses rich colors and captures all the right moments with the perfect angles and lighting. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a wedding photographer and will definitely use her for any future photography needs I have.

    Liz is a great wedding photographer!

    Liz and her team were just wonderful to work with! Liz took her time to truly understand what our wedding photography needs were and get to know us as a couple. She is professional but also easy to talk to and very approachable. She let us lead in sharing what we had in mind for our wedding photos, but also provided tremendously helpful guidance and suggestions. We enjoyed our engagement (pre-wedding) session that was a part of the wedding package we chose, and it was fun getting to know Liz's approach better. We were very happy with the shots that came out of this session. For the wedding day itself, Liz was quietly and efficiently taking pre-ceremony photos, and then expertly had us walk around nearby spots to get some truly memorable and beautiful shots of just the bride and groom. When it came time for group and family photos, Liz was excellent in being firm and corralling everyone to where they needed to be (sometimes, there were pretty large groups that she and her team were able to politely get in place!). When we saw the final wedding photos she took, they were simply amazing! She captured candid moments, as well as excellently photographed key moments during the ceremony and reception. She gave us a set of photos that really documented the day, and presented everything in an authentic and joyous way. We are thrilled with Liz's work, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for wedding (and/or other) photography needs! Thanks Liz!

    Best wedding photographer EVER

    Oh man. We’ve been married for 2.5 years now and I couldn’t love our wedding and engagement photos more! Liz is so talented, not only at capturing the real moment, but at making you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. Our photo shoots were so fun. Liz really is a gem, and her pictures are priceless!

    We love Liz!!

    Liz is just the best! We knew the second that we met Liz she was the perfect fit for our wedding day. Throughout our entire process Liz was always professional, kind and accommodating. Liz made our wedding day flow so easily and was a breath of fresh air to be around. We are not the most camera comfortable couple, but Liz made sure we were happy and comfortable the entire time. Not to mention our pictures came out breathtaking. Every single person has commented on our photos saying, "Those are the most beautiful wedding photos I have ever seen" and that is 100% Liz. Liz is an incredibly talented photographer and has great style and taste. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for any photography needs!

    Memories that last a lifetime

    Liz shot our wedding in November of 2018. I had come across her work on Instagram and Yelp, and couldn’t believe she was a (very) preferred vendor by our venue AND available on our date. Working with Liz was great, from the engagement session, to the church, to the reception…and my favorite - pictures in the rose garden. Liz and her team worked through some pretty crazy circumstances to bring our photo dreams to life (wildfires, a late bus), and I couldn’t be more grateful. Three years later, we still love looking back at our pictures. I would recommend Liz in a heartbeat!

    Amazing Photographer and Person!

    I can't say enough about how amazing Liz is! I've been in the Wedding Industry for over 5 years, and have worked with her on countless weddings and seen a variety of her photos. Before I was engaged, I told her that I wanted her to be my photographer because I knew she was one of the best! Immediately after my now husband and I announced to our families about our engagement, I contacted Liz to hold our date.

    Liz is hilarious, caring, fun, sweet, and makes any one feel comfortable behind the camera. She has such a great eye and notices beauty in places that others may not! We love that we were able to have an engagement photo session with her before our wedding, so she could capture our personalities. We love her romantic, soft, and airy photography style, and know these photos will be something we always smile and look back on!

    We're so thankful that she was part of our vendor team, and we can't wait to get an album of our beautiful wedding day!

    We only had spoken with 1 other photographer when we found Liz! She was so personable and funny, not to mention she took time out of her family vacation to speak with us, and we hit it off right away! After my now husband and I hung up our Facetime call, we looked and each other and knew right away that she was the photographer for us!

    Her style isn't as posed or rigid as others and she doesn't do those dumb poses so many other photographers do. The engagement session she did produced work beyond our wildest dreams and the 2 preview photos we've seen from the wedding have blown us away! We had so much fun together and I cannot WAIT to see our all of our final photos!

    THANK YOU, Liz! We love you!!!

    Stop looking for a photographer, cross it off your to-do's because Liz is IT. I am riding a high because I just received my wedding photos and I've been ugly/happy crying for most of the day looking at them. What do I say that is straight to the point so you can know just how amazing this woman is? Let's see... because the list is endless. She's professional to a fault. This woman is timely, she knows her stuff like the back of her hand, she's a natural, she makes you feel great (even when you have no idea what you're doing). Liz is so funny and charismatic. She make the experience FUN! These are photos you are going to look at, your children will look at and theirs after that. I knew from the moment we hired Liz she was the right decision but man, she exceeded ALL of our expectations and then some. Photos to me, were of the utmost importance and am so grateful to Liz for this special gift. Book her fast- she's the best.

    Hands down, Liz is the BEST photographer my husband and I have ever seen and worked with. (And we're picky!!) From the moment we met Liz, we knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding. She has such a contagious personality - warm, friendly, outgoing, funny, and man does she know her stuff. My husband is not particularly fond of taking photos, (is any guy really??) but Liz did such an amazing job of making us both feel comfortable and relaxed. The photos she took, both for our engagement session and wedding, are some of the best photos I've ever seen. They are all "real" - not the stuffy, fake, posed kind. You truly feel like you are there when you look back at what she took. She captured our day in a way I didn't even know was possible. I am so pleased and so thankful we met her, and I would recommend her to anyone 100%. And I cannot wait to have her shoot our future maternity, baby, and family photos. Do not search any farther for a photographer- call Liz!! You will not be disappointed. :)

    What can I say? But just amazing work done my Liz. She really makes you comfortable during her shoots. Plus she is funny!! We were worried on how to pose in front of the camera, it just feels awkward, but Liz just makes it so simple, she guided us through the whole posing part. She is very talented with her camera and really give it her best, she climbs, squat, kneel, lay on the floor just so she can take awesome pictures.She took awesome pictures on our wedding day, she really captured our wedding how we wanted it, a celebration of our love with friends and family. Best decision ever made!

    You want to be excited when you see your photos? You hire Liz Zimbelman. She can give you that feeling of, "Oh many, these are amazing." Liz has the eye and the talent for creating lasting images that you will be able to enjoy forever.

    We loved our engagement and wedding photos so much that we decided to have Liz shoot our 1 year anniversary photos and most likely are photos for every anniversary if she isn't already booked up.

    You will definitely not be disappointed when booking Liz. She is not only an amazing photographer she has a great personality that will make you and your significant other smile and sometimes laugh at her many jokes. Book Liz now. If you still need proof just check out her photos on her website or FB.

    Booking Liz as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions my husband and I ever made! I found out about Liz from a friend of mine who was also one of her clients. I had already spent hours looking for a wedding photographer, but when my friend showed me her engagement photos I instantly fell in love with her style of photography and the beauty of the photos she took. It is obvious from first glance that Liz has a true gift for photography and really enjoys her work. I have received countless compliments on my engagement photos and the few 'teaser' photos she has already posted from my wedding last weekend. Don't book Liz if you can't handle all the attention you will get from your beautiful photos! ;]

    Apart from being a great photographer and producing gorgeous photos, Liz is just a fun person to be around! I was nervous about being in front of the camera in busy downtown Sacramento for our engagement shoot, but after a few minutes with Liz and her infectious personality I had forgotten all about being nervous! The day of the wedding she was even better. As any bride would be the day of her wedding, I was feeling a little on edge because my groom wasn't at the venue on time, hair and make up was taking longer than planned, and family was stressing both me and my new husband out. Liz kept me calm by assuring me we had plenty of time for photos and that everything would work out fine, and offered to send our family away so my husband and I could take photos without the stress from our families showing on our faces. I don't know if all wedding photographers are that way, but I really appreciated working with Liz, who treats you like you're a friend rather than a paycheck. Even my bridesmaids told me being shot by Liz was a lot of fun!

    Bottom line, I CANNOT wait to get all my wedding photos because I know that Liz has done a wonderful job capturing all the details and important moments from my special day and I would recommend her again and again!
