I’m beyond happy we hired Hitched Photo for our wedding! Dipan was great to work with from start to finish. I appreciated his quick, efficient, and friendly communication with us. We got our pictures back way quicker than we expected and they turned out amazing! As people who aren’t really comfortable taking pictures, he made it easy and fun. I barely noticed him during the wedding, which I guess means he was doing a good job. Even in our ceremony, reception, and dancing photos, he really managed to capture the joy of the day! Last minute we also decided to add-on a photobooth, which Hitched

We had HitchedLA do both our photography and videography for the wedding. They exceeding our expectations throughout the entire process! They were communicative in the planning process, easy going but thorough throughout the day of and got our photos/videos to us in less time than anticipated. They even came early to capture our venue and stayed later to get our cake cutting! The photos and video are to die for! I can't say enough great things about their team. Professional, fun and very talented!

I was looking into several photographers for my wedding. I knew Dipan and his work beforehand and when I remembered him I instantly decided that I wanted him to do my wedding. I was nervous because price and budget is always an obstacle, but Dipan offered a fair price and went beyond that to make sure I was happy. We had two Zoom calls together and he broke everything down in simple and easy terms, he understood my wants and requests, and offered me a simple timeline for my wedding that helped me SO MUCH. I used that timeline to coordinate with my last-minute wedding coordinator, and my DJ. Dipan

We were supposed to be married in Aug 2020 but had to postpone due to COVID. Dipan and Barry were very accommodating with our date change which happened twice. They helped to craft our timeline for the day and they showed up early for our first look. They made us all feel very comfortable taking photos before the ceremony and got everything set up to videotape the ceremony. They were very good at staying in the background, and I don't even remember seeing them very much during the ceremony or reception. They provided our photos and video much earlier than we expected and we were pleasantly

Dipan and his team were amazing! They were communicative, professional, and their work is very high quality. They gave us our pictures and videos quickly and I couldn’t be more happy! They made my wedding day one I’ll never forget. I’ll be looking to use them for family portraits next!

I absolutely LOVE Hitched Photography's high-quality work, professionalism, and punctuality. Our engagement photo session with Dipan was wonderful and he took amazing photos and definitely proved his skills and knowledge of photography. On the wedding day Barry and Dipan worked very well with our schedule. Both tackled the busy wedding day with ease and made the day extra special with their relaxed demeanor and friendly personalities. If you take a look at even just a single photo you can tell that you are going to be extremely happy with the rest. I cannot recommend them enough if you are looking

Barry and Dipan rocked. Fun to work with, efficient, timeline went smoothly and they were great at adjusting on the fly. They shot our wedding with out immediately family members and were mindful of distancing, safety measures, and had a lot of creative ways of shooting and making any configuration work. Thank you Barry and Dipan!

I hired Hitched over a year ago for my wedding that was supposed to take place in April of this year. Like many others, the pandemic changed our wedding plans. My husband and I ended up eloping back in April, but we know that Hitched was so ready to deliver for us due to all of the amazing communication we had leading up to the wedding. There was so much attention to detail and tweaking every little thing to make our timeline perfect— I know it would have gone so amazing! Fast forward 6 months, Barry from Hitched worked with us to take some AMAZING wedding photos since we didn’t get official

Barry was perfect ! We had booked him for our big wedding scheduled sept 2020 but now its TBD due to Covid. My husband and I wanted to be married ASAP. We decided to elope at a family friends cabin in Big Bear and have our dream wedding when everything is opened back up. Barry was so supportive and easy to work with. He added on our ceremony shoot for a great price. The pictures were absolutely stunning. I'm always in awe of his creativity and I may be biased but I have the best pics ever !!! We love BARRY and cant wait until 2021!!!! Thanks for capturing the best day of our lives.

Hitched Photo took our engagement pictures + small wedding photos during this pandemic! We originally had them booked for our 200+ person wedding, but when we had to postpone due to COVID-19, they were incredibly gracious in letting us do so. We love their work so much, that we just had to have them for our 15 person wedding this Spring. Dippan + Barry were in rebel to work with. So fun and so much energy! They were professional yet incredibly friendly, and engaged our family so well and personally the whole night.
Can't wait to have them again next year!!!!

Barry and Dipan are the absolute best! They are true professionals! This review is a bit late since we got married July 2019 but they did such an incredible job. We could not be more pleased with the amazing photos. Their teamwork is amazing and they kept me calm and collected even when family was running late etc. It was also super hot outside and they made sure to get the most amazing photos and keep us cool. Our photos came back very quickly and we couldnt be happier.
They really are the team to go with if you want amazing photos! Thanks for giving us such beautiful pictures to treasure forever

I recently got married in Nov '19 and had Dipan and Barry as lead photographer and videographer. They were very easy to work with during the planning period. On wedding day, they arrived with a full team ready to capture every detail. They made my bridal party and myself comfortable and at ease while taking our photos/video. They are very creative and do amazing work - I would highly recommend using Hitched Photo for all your wedding needs!

Dipan and Barry were so awesome to work with, they made the whole wedding photo process a breeze. I was drawn to them because of how natural all of their photos looked and that was exactly what I was looking for. Not only did I use Hitched Photo for my wedding and engagement shoot, but my sister also used them for her wedding. We were so lucky to find them and are beyond in love with all of the photos!! We found photographers for life!

Without a doubt, Barry and Dipan are the best wedding photographers. They captured the beautiful aesthetic of our surroundings, authentic emotion, and every memorable moment. I love all of my photos and they are better than I could have ever dreamed. They have wonderful and amazing personalities that made us feel so comfortable and were so patient with the craziness of our families. I highly recommend them and in a heartbeat would rehire them for any future photography needs.

Finding amazing photographers and cinematographers for your wedding is super important and we absolutely nailed it choosing Hitched Photo. Hitched did our engagement shoot, wedding day photos, wedding film, and photo booth. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out! If you are doing all or some of those wedding services, we highly recommend having Hitched do it all as their team worked together seamlessly and we felt extremely confident everything was handled.
Dipan and Barry are very fun and easy to work with and really help alleviate the awkwardness that can sometimes come

Yelp needs to make a 6th star for this business because they are seriously above and beyond amazing!! Having a soon-to-be (and now) husband who is in the creative world I was worried it would be difficult to find a photographer who was up to his standards when it comes to anything visual. Well I was ecstatic when he agreed to Hitched Photo and Dipan to take our engagment and wedding photos. The process has been smooth and excellent the entire time and in the craziness of all that comes with getting married- none of it read out in the photos. They are by far the best pics I could have asked

We were really happy we booked Hitched Photo for our special day. Barry and Arpit were the utmost professionals and captured our day beautifully. Unfortunately, the day of my wedding happened to be the hottest day ever in Los Angeles, but they braved through the heat, unfazed. They had a good attitude, and provided direction to capture the best shots.
Pictures were returned sooner than expected, and I am so happy with the results! Beautiful pictures, natural editing, good light and color. You won't be disappointed.

All I can say is AWESOME AWESOME. Barry and Dipan really know their stuff when it comes to creating great images.
When we first met this duo I knew instantly that we working with professional creatives. As a videographer myself, I have an appreciation for people who know how to use a camera. What I love most about these two is that they are very laid back but they also know exactly what to get in the right moment.
I've actually worked with Hitched Photo on some weddings and they were very professional. We were helping a couple do the video, while they were doing the photo and we worked

First of all... Thank you to the AMAZING wedding photographer DIPAN at Hitched Photo, we were able to recaptured some of our wedding portraits photos and also with our families that we didn't get to on the actual wedding day. We loved and were so pleased with the beautiful wedding photos. We highly recommend booking Hitched Photo for weddings or other event photography session too. Dipan (the co-owner) is totally cool, make you feel at ease & very friendly to get along with! He truly got an eye for such beautiful creative work, you won't be disappointed :)
