4Karma Studio | Willy & Hilly
About US 

We are Willy and Hilly, a husband and wife photography and videography team with over 10 years of experience and 10 years of marriage. We create clean, cinematic storytelling with real moments, timeless portraits, natural color, and a true to life style.
We work as two shooters on every wedding, giving you more angles, more reactions, and a calmer experience. Every photo and video is edited in house with consistent color and fast turnaround.
Outside of cameras, Hilly loves matcha, Willy runs on coffee, and Ricotta, our Pomeranian, is obsessed with blueberries. We love meeting couples, sharing real galleries on our 3D tablet, answering questions, and helping you feel comfortable from the first conversation to the final gallery.

Meet our wedding assistant at 4Karma Studio

I’m Ricotta 🧀 (soft, irresistible, and  cute as only the best creamy ricotta can be). I'm always ready for your wedding with my tuxedo coat. Worried about being awkward in front of the camera? I got you: I’ll stand by with a grin so compelling it practically coaxes the pixel gods to follow it.
Let’s make some magic together!

Wedding Photography, Videography with Drone, Content Creator & Live Streaming

4Karma Studio · Los Angeles — Not Your Wedding Fast-Food Photographer

You deserve to enjoy your wedding day with a stress-free experience. We are a Los Angeles-based husband-and-wife team specializing in wedding photography, wedding videography, drone coverage, content creation, and wedding live streaming across DTLA, Pasadena, Malibu, Orange County, and Southern California. With more than 10 years of experience and over 300 weddings documented, we capture luxury estate weddings, Hollywood celebrations, multicultural ceremonies, intimate weddings, and Southern California beach elopements through a blend of raw documentary storytelling, high-end editorial wedding photography, vintage-inspired video, and cinematic 4K wedding films.

We are not your “fast-food” wedding photographers because your story deserves more than microwaveable memories. Our goal is to make the cameras disappear so you can stay present and never feel awkward during the most emotional moments. We document the unplanned laughter, movement, family connections, and quiet in-between moments while providing natural direction whenever you need it.

We proudly celebrate every love story, are fully LGBTQ+ friendly, and welcome offbeat weddings, traditional religious ceremonies, multicultural celebrations, and creative ideas that do not fit inside a standard wedding package. From Pasadena estates and DTLA wedding venues to Malibu and Southern California beach elopements, we create customized photography and videography packages designed around your celebration, your personalities, and the memories you want to preserve.

HAnnah & Jose


Willy & Hilly took our engagement photos and we are SO happy with the photos we received back from them. They captured beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever. They both were sure to get different angles and put a lot of thought into our poses and the background scenery as well which we really appreciated. They were so kind and easy to work with. 10/10 recommend!

Rachel & Tyler


These two are the best photography duo you could ask for! They were communicative, on-time, eager, creative, and attentive! They went with the flow as plans change (as they often do on wedding days)! They got every shot I asked for and more, and were able to avoid unflattering background objects.

SHANNON & JUAN


Will & Ilaria did an excellent job photographing our special day. They were so creative and easy to work with. Our photos turned out amazing! Thank you both for capturing such special memories for our family. I highly recommend 4Karma Photography and Videography.
