One Story Weddings

One Story Weddings is a Costa Mesa-based wedding photography and cinematography team serving Southern California, offering a natural, editorial, and documentary approach to photo and film. The team shoots photography and cinematography together as one unit, working in natural light with a story-driven style that covers both intimate moments and large multi-event celebrations, including South Indian and Western ceremonies. Founded by Gary (photographer and client services), Jake (cinematographer and creative director), and Jonah (cinematographer and post production director), the team is recommended by venues including Pelican Hill, Montage Laguna Beach, Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, Terranea, and Monarch Beach Resort. Based in Orange County, the team serves Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Temecula, Santa Barbara, and Ventura County. Couples consistently describe the team as calm and unobtrusive on the day, praise Gary's responsiveness throughout 12-plus months of planning, and highlight that the final photos and films felt genuinely representative of who they are.
