Violet Photography

Hello, I'm Violet; a Hollywood professional photographer with a fashion-influenced photojournalistic style. The result is clean, crisp, creative photography that’s natural, fun, and emotional. I prioritize unique storytelling, originality, and personal beauty. I capture both authentic, unposed interactions, along with traditional classic portraits. My main focus is wedding photography in Los Angeles, California. I also shoot other photo genres, located in my portfolio.



I'm intrigued by the thought of capturing your wedding day, creating the visual legacy of your celebration. I invite you to connect with me, dive into my portfolio for a glimpse into how I document stories. My goal is to help bring your vision to life. I would be a provider of helpful direction and sincere encouragement, to ensure you both feel comfortable, attractive, and understood. I'm committed to preserving the authenticity in each story told through my lens, with the hope that when you look back on these memories, you can relive the same happiness you felt in that moment.






My grandfather owned a farm, so I’ve always been close with nature; catching minnows and collecting eggs are two fond childhood memories. My love of vintage cars comes from my father, my love of dollhouse miniatures comes from my mother, but my love for California was very personal.
I moved around a lot in my life; but from my first visit to Venice Beach at the age of thirteen, I knew Los Angeles would be my home. I earned my BA in photography from Southern Illinois University in 1998 and I've had my own professional photography business in Hollywood ever since. One thing about California that resonates with me is how it provides the space to creatively invent yourself. It's a challenge and a privilege to live in a state where you can visit the beach, hike the snowy mountains, tour the Mojave desert, and traverse the Sequoia forest, all in a weekend if you choose.
