We had an amazing experience with Paul as our wedding photographer. He took incredible photos, digital and film.Megan & Peter
On the day of our wedding, Paul was such a calming presence and a joy to spend time with.Sasha & Tobias
The editing and colors are extremely true to how we remember it and feel timeless and not overworked. We absolutely love our shots and have already gone through them countless times.Christine & Craig
Paul is somehow totally unobtrusive and very present — catching all the best moments as they happen. Every picture is beautiful and together they perfectly capture the mood and feeling of our wedding.Mark & Brendan
Paul went above and beyond basic comfort; he quickly demonstrated such a level of cultural fluency and competency that without knowing anything about him personally, I trusted that he saw and understood us.Joanna & Diana
He captured the emotion of the weekend, focusing on people's expressions of joy and elation. He got close-ups and larger framed shots, which together repaint the wedding perfectly.Becca & Josh
Documentary wedding photography in the San Francisco Bay Area — and wherever you're getting married
Hazel Photo is Paul Gargagliano, a documentary wedding photographer based in the Bay Area. The approach: stay close, stay quiet, don't make people feel watched. The result: photographs that feel less like hired documentation and more like something a perceptive friend happened to capture.
Paul works across the Bay Area, Wine Country, Big Sur, and Los Angeles, and travels regularly for weddings throughout the Pacific Northwest, New England, and internationally. Film and digital.
I never imagined I'd have photos like this of my own wedding. It's so beautiful because it looks like real life, and sometimes even better.Andrea & Sam
