Editorial wedding photography in Los Angeles + beyond

Telling your love story through emotional, artistic digital + film photography

Your wedding day is going to be incredible. An event of impeccable taste, special people, killer style, and so much love. You’re not going to want to miss a minute. And with the right photographer, you won’t.

You need someone who sees you. Who believes that real people are really beautiful. Who finds beauty in every moment — even the imperfect ones. Who focuses their creative energy on sharing that beauty with the world.

Someone like me.

Galleries That Take You Back

You know how the movies always make the most special, romantic bits fly by in a blurry haze of glitter and fun?

That’s how your wedding day will feel, except you can’t rewind real life. At least, not until you receive your gallery from me. Then you can relive the day for decades on end. You’re welcome.

“We looked at all the photos last night and were so overwhelmed with emotion all over again! You captured all of the moments… all of the details… all of the love. We’ll cherish these beautiful photos for the rest of our lives.”

Portrait of Mandee Johnson, a LA Wedding Photographer

About
Mandee Johnson

Take a peek at my full portfolio, and you’ll probably recognize some faces. I feel a bit shy bringing up my experience as a celebrity and commercial and editorial photographer, honestly.

But it’s important to me that you know exactly who you’re getting when you invite me to the party: a seasoned professional wedding photographer who can execute multi-day events, big personalities, complex timelines, and collaborating with a team, all while making you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

“I'm someone who feels particularly awkward being in front of the camera, and the experience of taking the pictures couldn't have been better for me. Mandee made me feel completely at ease and knew exactly what would work to create an amazing result.”

Editorial Storytelling

for your wedding weekend

A welcome dinner at your childhood home in Los Angeles. A reception under the stars in Montana with your closest friends and family. A wedding weekend in London commemorating where you met.

No matter where your story takes place, I’ll be there to tell it. 

“The photos are incredible. The colors… the composition… the little moments where we didn't even perceive that there was a camera on us... I don't quite know how to explain this, but I feel lucky to even be IN these photos, which are truly WORKS OF ART.”

— Lindsay + Sam
