Your story deserves more than just beautiful photos—it deserves to be seen, felt, and remembered.
I’m Breana Isley, a South Bay–based photographer specializing in luxury weddings, modern branding, and refined event coverage across Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach, and the greater Los Angeles area.
My work blends fine-art composition with documentary-style storytelling, capturing genuine emotion with an editorial sensibility. Whether it’s the quiet anticipation before a first look, the confidence of a creative entrepreneur, or the magic of an unforgettable celebration, I approach every story with intention and artistry.
Photography, to me, is about connection—between people, between moments, between the feeling and the frame. Every image is crafted to reflect you: your style, your energy, and the way your story naturally unfolds.
I believe in photography that feels effortless and timeless—refined enough to grace a magazine, yet warm enough to feel like home.
The golden light along the Palos Verdes cliffs. The modern charm of a Manhattan Beach coastal wedding. The creative pulse of Los Angeles entrepreneurs and events. I draw inspiration from the environments and stories I’m invited into, blending natural beauty with editorial direction to create imagery that feels alive and deeply personal.

When I’m not photographing love stories or creative brands, you’ll find me exploring new coastal spots, chasing the sunset with my camera, or curating visual inspiration for my next project. Every experience outside my work fuels the perspective I bring behind the lens—rooted in curiosity, creativity, and genuine connection.
Before photographing weddings, I spent years crafting visual stories for luxury brands, entertainment icons, and museums. Today, I bring that same eye for beauty, intention, and storytelling to your wedding day—so your memories are preserved not just beautifully, but meaningfully.
My background allows me to approach your celebration with a refined editorial sensibility, while keeping the focus on what matters most: the real, unfiltered moments of joy, emotion, and connection that define your love story.
Because your photos aren’t just for today—they’re heirlooms in the making. Twenty years from now, when you glance at your portrait wall, you’ll feel it all over again. And generations ahead will feel your love, too.

Working with Breana Isley was unreal — her vision and artistic eye was everything, and there was never a moment where she didn't have our complete trust. Our wedding day was magical, and she captured every detail and moment impeccably.
