Los Angeles | 4KARMA STUDIO

Your Non-Traditional Weddings Photographer Across Southern California

The "wedding industrial complex" wants to sand down your edges until you’re just another couple in a catalog. We’re here to sharpen them. As alternative Los Angeles wedding photographers, we don’t look for the light; we look for the mood. We are the architects of non-traditional Los Angeles wedding films and stills for the couples who find romance in a flickering neon sign or the quiet, gritty haze of a 2:00 AM street corner. Our kit is packed with vintage glass and unconventional lenses designed to capture the texture of your day—not just the events.

From the shadows of the Hollywood Hills to the industrial echoes of an Arts District warehouse, we provide documentary-style wedding coverage for the aesthetic outlaws. We aren't interested in the "perfection" of a staged portrait; we want the adrenaline of a DTLA elopement and the raw, unscripted pulse of a love story that refuses to be boring. We’ve spent years training our eyes (and our legs on those existential treadmills) to handle the high-velocity chaos of unconventional California weddings. If you want an album that feels like a fever dream and a team that treats your "weird" like a masterpiece, we’re already packed and ready to hit the 101.

We’ve Sold Our Souls to the Beautifully Strange

We’re the ones you call when you want art, creativity, and a hell of a lot of fun. Based in the heart of Hollywood (the weirdness and unconventional is our daily banana bread), we are the Los Angeles wedding photographers who prioritize the vibe over the protocol. We are always ready to hit the road in 48 hours or less for the right unconventional love story. If your vision involves a neon-soaked DTLA rooftop, a desert elopement, or a dive bar rager, consider us your beautifully weird photographers.

We don’t do "polite" wedding photography, and we definitely don’t do the industry-standard shot list. Whether you're planning an underground party in the Arts District or a cinematic Mojave Desert elopement, we bring a kit of unconventional lenses and a documentary-style energy from the start to the end of your day. We’re local to the LA hustle but available for destination weddings worldwide, and yes, we go to the gym every day just to think about how weird it is to run without going anywhere, all so we have the stamina to chase your story until the last drink is poured. If you want candid, edgy wedding photos you're in the right place.

As a husband-and-wife duo, we don’t just "shoot" weddings—we document the beautiful disruptions. We are fueled by the creative friction of couples who refuse to blend in and instead demand unconventional storytelling. We’re here for the Los Angeles subcultures, the aesthetic outlaws, and the rebels who want their memories to feel like a cult classic film. If you are looking for an alternative Los Angeles wedding photographer who values your "weird" as much as you do.
Let’s Get Weird and Talk 
Let’s grab a Taro Latte, a Cotton Candy Margarita, or just hang out on Zoom—feel free to show up using your favorite cat or dog filters We always start with a free wedding consultation where we dive deep into your vision. This isn't a sales pitch; it’s where you understand our obsession with off-beat wedding photography and we learn the architecture of your love story.
The Pre-Wedding Experiment
We always offer a pre-wedding mini session; think of it as a creative lab designed to break the ice. This is the moment to put your wildest, "out of the box" ideas on the table. Whether you want to experiment with motion blur in a neon-drenched Chinatown alley or stage a high-fashion, cinematic fever dream in a gritty industrial corner of DTLA, this is where we calibrate our lenses to your specific frequency.
If you don’t have a plan, even better. Let us bridge the gap by arranging a non-traditional background or an underground set that reflects your aesthetic subculture.
Let’s Get Weird on Your Special Day
As Los Angeles off beat wedding photographers, we capture the unscripted transitions, the movement between ceremony and celebration, and the energy that unfolds once tradition fades. This is where unconventional weddings become visually striking and emotionally real.
If you’re searching for alternative wedding photography in Los Angeles, non traditional wedding videography in Pasadena, or creative elopement coverage in Southern California, our style is cinematic, intentional, and story driven, perfect for industrial venues, desert elopements, modern lofts, fusion celebrations, and micro weddings.
