California Wedding Photography, Films, Reels & Drone

4Karma Studio is a Los Angeles-based destination wedding photography and videography team available throughout California. We document multi-day weddings, welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, engagement sessions, ceremonies and receptions with true-to-life color, documentary moments, cinematic movement and editorial portraits.

Coverage can include two photographers, cinematic wedding films, vertical social content, same-day reels and aerial footage when the venue, weather and local flight rules allow. Before the wedding, we research the venue area, identify visually strong portrait locations and coordinate the timeline with the planner or couple.

Popular service areas include Los Angeles, Malibu, Santa Barbara, Big Sur, San Francisco, Napa Valley, Sonoma, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, San Diego, Orange County, Temecula, Monterey, Santa Cruz and Mendocino.

Couples can book photography, videography or content creation individually, or choose an all-in-one California destination wedding package combining two-shooter photography, films, same-day reels, venue-area scouting, timeline support and permitted drone coverage.

California Wedding Ceremonies

Civil, religious, cultural and symbolic weddings in California

We plan photography, videography and timing around the ceremony you choose. Marriage-license, officiant, venue, permit and religious requirements can vary, so couples should confirm final details directly with the appropriate California county office, venue, officiant or faith community.

California Civil Wedding

A civil ceremony can take place at a county office, city hall, courthouse setting or another approved location with an authorized officiant. We can plan portraits before or after the ceremony and build coverage around appointment times and location restrictions.

California Religious Wedding

Church, temple, mosque, synagogue and other faith-based ceremonies may include preparation requirements, venue rules and photography limitations. We coordinate respectfully with the officiant and protect the flow of the ceremony.

California Multicultural Wedding

Multi-day and multicultural celebrations can include several ceremonies, wardrobe changes, family traditions and separate events. We organize photography and film coverage around the complete sequence rather than treating each tradition as an interruption.

California Jewish Wedding

Coverage can include the ketubah signing, chuppah, family traditions, hora and reception events. We coordinate timing with the rabbi, planner and venue so the formal and documentary moments are both protected.

California Hindu Wedding

Photography and videography can be organized around the baraat, mandap, sacred fire, family rituals and multi-day celebrations, with enough coverage and camera positions for the scale and movement of each event.

California Symbolic Ceremony

A symbolic ceremony gives couples freedom to choose the location, officiant, vows, readings and rituals. Beach, desert, redwood, mountain and private-estate ceremonies may still require venue approval or location permits.

California Elopement

California elopements can be intimate without feeling visually small. We can combine the ceremony with portraits, vows, a picnic, coastal movement, city architecture or a short cinematic film in one carefully planned timeline.

California Vow Renewal

A vow renewal can include private promises, family participation, readings and a portrait or film session. It works especially well for coastal, vineyard, mountain, desert and anniversary travel celebrations.

LGBTQ+ Weddings Across California

We photograph and film LGBTQ+ weddings, elopements and multi-day celebrations throughout California with the same documentary, editorial and true-to-life approach. Coverage is planned around the couple, their families, their ceremony structure and the way they want the day to feel—not around a fixed wedding formula.

Ceremony information is general planning guidance, not legal advice. Final requirements should be confirmed directly with the relevant California county office, venue, officiant or religious authority.
