I'm a wedding and community photographer based in Tucson, Arizona, specializing in natural, story-driven documentation with an eye toward the beauty and wonder of any situation. I strongly believe in authentic documentation of a wedding day, as a collection of memories for the two people joining their lives, but also as a celebration of a new community that they now share, born out of their love and containing endless possibility.

TLDR: she is talented, professional & kind very helpful as someone with limited mobility. Tessa & her team photographed & recorded my wedding last weekend, and they were a dream to work with. I am chronically ill & so I knew on my wedding day I could not be running around to different locations for photos, and Tessa was extremely mindful of that fact & made sure to work within the parameters of what was doable for me. I was worried my limited mobility would mean my photos would be a little boring, but she's already sent a handful of pictures over for a sneak peek & they are GORGEOUS. Tessa is a true professional but also someone who clearly loves what she does, which I think really shows in the quality of her work. Could not be more glad to have had her & her team document my special day! :)

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kiera! She has been our go-to photographer for all of life’s special moments—our wedding, maternity, newborn photos, and family portraits. Kiera is incredibly understanding, patient, and accommodating. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she truly goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are happy. I just got married this past weekend and spent over seven hours with Kiera. Not only did she capture breathtaking photos, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly and put me at ease as a bride, which was invaluable! Her calming presence, friendly demeanor, and professionalism made everything feel effortless. One of the standout features of working with Kiera is the convenience of her online album. After each session, we get quick access to our photos, where we can easily view them and select our favorites. This allows us to have full control over the final selections, ensuring that we get the exact photos we want to have edited. I highly recommend Kiera to all my family and friends. Whether you’re in New Mexico or the surrounding areas, Kiera is the photographer you want. She even travels out of state!

However, Katy made me feel like a professional model and helped my anxiety by being calm herself. I suggest her for anyone looking for a go-with-the-flow photographer who can manage groups.

Hiya! I'm Tess, an Austin-based photographer with 10+ years of experience telling the stories of my community through photography. I love weddings of all sizes, from adventurous elopements to grand celebrations. My photojournalism background influences my documentarian style, which captures the natural joy and energy of weddings without forced poses. I help my couples feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera just as they are.

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is so long overdue, and I hope it brings home just how much I value Tess' work, and how talented of a documentarian I think she is. Since college, I've vowed to never book a friend for photos unless I really loved their work, because I often found myself disappointment when I should have invested in a professional instead of doing a friend a favor. Though Tess is a dear friend from school, she is absolutely no exception. I would have never been so excited to hire her if her photography work wasn't exactly what my husband and I wanted for our wedding day. Our ceremony was small and intimate, but Tess' work made it feel no less important because the guest size or venue. I'm a fat woman of color, and I'm often self-conscious of how other people, even friends, photograph me and the effort they lack in taking even casual pictures of myself or of me with my husband. However, Tess captured exactly how I felt that day. Not because of any editing, but because she captured our beauty and love for each other exactly as we are. Though Tess did put in so much time and effort into knowing me and my husband as a couple, it doesn't matter how intimately you know your subject — without talent, without having an eye for precious moments and framing and being able to anticipate a shoot's big moments, there's no way you can do what someone like Tess does. We planned our ceremony and reception ourselves — no planner, no coordinator — and Tess' experience helped immensely in planning exactly what we needed and wanted for photos. Despite being a friend, she treated us like any other pair of clients, with extreme professionalism and care, and even went above her scope of work for shooting during the reception and returning our gallery. I'm so happy to see her thrive in her calling, and am honored to have experienced her talents. Tess is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I know we'll be booking her to document important life milestones in the future.

Inspired by the richness of romantic paintings, I capture love with moody tones, candid moments, and creative angles.

Whether it’s a courthouse ceremony or a handfasting in the woods, I focus on the details and emotions that make your day truly yours. Let’s turn your love story into art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a small, courthouse wedding, but you’d never know it from the photos From GA with Love took—they made our day look like something straight out of a movie. One photo we adore is of us walking out of the courthouse hand in hand, with the morning light casting our shadows on the pavement—it’s such a subtle but powerful reminder of the promises we made that day. They also captured the raw joy of our rooftop reception later that evening. One shot, taken from above through a skylight, shows us dancing surrounded by our chosen family, the city lights glowing in the background. It’s such an unexpected and beautiful perspective that perfectly sums up the magic of our unconventional celebration. Their work is not just photography—it’s storytelling, and it’s clear they truly understand and celebrate love in all its forms.

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer.

By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

I came all the way from Orlando, FL to get married in Colorado Springs at the Garden of the Gods. I am not a very organized person so I was very stressed while trying to travel, figure out the marriage process, and figure out where I wanted to take my photos but Kylie and Maddie went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy. She really made the best day of my life all that better and I owe her so much. My crew was tiny but we do have large personalities and they were good at working with us and had a great sense of humor! Also, the pictures came out BEAUTIFUL. When I tell you, both I and the groom are pretty insecure when it comes to getting pictures taken of us and the pictures they took make us look like models!! They are going to make it hard to get our pictures taken by anyone else!

Mahdi was voted our best vendor at our wedding! By us and by friends that got to know him. From our first phone call I was like, man this guy is cool and relaxed. I'm also pretty relaxed but obviously this can change on your wedding day, so having a laid back photographer was perfect for me. He arrived a bit early to set up and we chatted a bit and he went straight to work and my bridal party loved him right away. I would recommend Mahdi to anyone looking someone to perfectly capture their day or even just capture the moment. You will not find a nicer, more professional, or fun person to help you to remember the most important day of your life.

When we got our photos and the video, we couldn't stop smiling and laughing. They caught all the love, laughter, and even the crazy dance moves (hello, epic dance party!). The highlight reel was like a mini movie of the best day ever—we’ve already watched it a million times! The whole experience was just fun and stress-free, thanks to their good vibes and clear communication. They really listened to what we wanted and made sure we felt comfortable and relaxed. Thank you guys !

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Azaria not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.

Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was such a pleasure to work with. Me and my partner often find it hard to really connect and feel comfortable in front of the camera yet she made us feel right at home. Would 100% recommend and do plan on working with her again in the future.

After nearly a decade of freelancing as a wedding cinematographer and photographer, I’m excited to have opened my own studio, dedicated to capturing love stories. While I originally came to the U.S. in 2015 for a Master’s in International Business, I discovered my true passion for documenting life’s most special moments. Weddings are about more than just beautiful shots—they’re about preserving raw, candid emotions. My goal is to capture moments you’ll cherish forever, so you can relive your wedding day for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Saajan and the team at Veil & Film, we knew they were the perfect photographers to capture our special day. Their communication style was responsive, attentive, and professional, yet they also had a warm and collaborative approach that put us at ease. The quality of their work is simply outstanding - artistic, high-quality, and truly emotional. They captured so many candid moments that we didn't even realize were happening, like my father tearing up during our first dance. Saajan and his team made us feel so comfortable during our first look, guiding us naturally while still letting us enjoy the moment. The highlight video they delivered perfectly told our love story, and the full-length documentary allowed us to relive every detail we might have missed. Veil & Film didn't just give us photos and videos - they gave us memories we'll cherish forever. Their services were worth every penny, and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

LOVING, COMPASSIONATE, FRIENDLY, POSITIVE, HOPELESS ROMANTIC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN DALLAS, TX My photography style is a mix of candid and posed images. I prefer the candid moments, so it captures the true essence of the moment. I decided to pursue photography as a business in 2009 while planning our own wedding. I have photographed over 400 couple's stories from Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, Palm Springs, Temecula, Albuquerque, Mississippi, and beyond.

Monica is a wonderful photographer. I’m obsessed with the photos she captured on my wedding day (and during my bridal portraits in separate session). On the wedding day, she captured EVERYTHING — wedding details, decor, guests, family, sweet candid moments of me and my husband during the first look, ceremony, and reception, and of course, the most iconic, gorgeous portraits of us too. She was very helpful in suggesting poses that looked natural and beautiful. Monica has a great eye for lighting and how to capture the beauty of a venue. She’s also great at capturing people — our wedding party included people of varying skin tones and she made everyone look good (ie no one was overexposed or underexposed). Monica and her team were so easy to work with and really listened to what my husband and I wanted (in terms of what we wanted captured or what poses we wanted to try), while also being attentive to our guests and capturing beautiful photos of them too. She was also very patient and has a calming presence. I would happily work with her again.

Stephanie captured our day perfectly! Our love really shined through in every photograph. Stephanie was very fun to work with and she catered to all of our photography preferences and took all the shots we were hoping to get. It was clear she knew how to adapt to new settings, lighting, and the different personalities of our wedding party, family, and friends. Her time management was spot on and she guided us through the whole hour after the ceremony where you take most of your portraits - a time that feels super rushed and time is of the essence - but she helped us feel calm and be present. Overall, a very pleasant experience and we will treasure our wedding photographs for many years to come.

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Heather and her team are absolutely FANTASTIC! We hired her for our engagement photos and wedding and we are so happy! She is so organized, excellent at keeping everyone moving, and her photography and editing is incredible. She creates shots that I never could have imagined and directs tiny details while also allowing for candid moments. She was with us all day for our wedding and always was ready to capture us or people around us. When she walks into a room you can see her mind working to scope out the perfect spot and it is so incredible to watch. She is truly an artist and made us feel so special and comfortable on our wedding day and engagement photoshoot. We felt like we were in a magazine the way she edits the photos and captures everything. Highly recommend and will book her again for all of our big moments!

Chrissy is a dream. She was SO cool, so professional, and really put us all at ease. We initially contracted with Chrissy to photograph our wedding, but when we had to postpone it, we asked her to also photograph the small marriage ceremony we ended up having on that day instead. She was fabulous to work with and her photos captured the low-key, intimate feeling of that day. I particularly love the way she captures small, truly candid moments; and her use of shadow and light. We are so excited to work with her again for our big wedding reception this summer! We recommend her to every couple we know!

I began my photography journey in 2008 and have been shooting ever since! My love of music and travel initially took me to Nashville, where I studied under some of the best celebrity and music photographers in the business. The City of Music lead me to tour with Jesse McCartney and shoot some amazing musicians including Blake Shelton, Outkast, and the Backstreet Boys (a personal childhood dream of mine). However, the mountains were calling (as they say), and I ended up moving back to Colorado, my home state, in 2015 to begin my journey documenting love in all its forms!

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Chris photographed our wedding in October of 2021 and did an INCREDIBLE job. We started with an engagement shoot that was a great way to practice for our wedding day. We learned all of the popular poses so that on our actual wedding day we didn’t feel awkward posing. He was incredibly organized and thorough throughout the entire process and the results were perfect. The entire day was planned out and he photographed every shot we wanted. We also had a beautiful wedding video and I had special requests for the video that he easily accommodated! The entire day ran smoothly thanks to his organization. He was extremely professional but we also had SO much fun. I felt like I was with a friend throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Chris for any event.

Lauren is THE BOMB. She played our favourite songs on her phone while we started taking photos and that really helped us warm up and get comfortable. She made us laugh and smile and just enjoyed the fun and let our relationship be the centre of her universe for a few hours. The turnaround time was soooo quick (I'm not very patient when it comes to this stuff) and my jaw was literally ON THE FLOOR looking through the photos. I couldn't believe that was us. The edits were perfect with the colour and lighting and vibe and everything. I'm just sooo happy we have such perfect moments captured forever and ever. She also gave us like ALL THE PHOTOS to choose from (which is important to me. Variety and options!). I look back at the photos basically daily still #noshame. She will be your bestie so only hire her if you like making new amazing friends and looking like a 10/10 in your engagement photos. She will be your best decision. Trust me.
