D.J. & Ashley photographed our engagement pictures and also photographed our wedding day. For this entire journey leading up to the wedding, their communication was so spot on, because they understand what it’s like to plan a wedding and how stressful it is to think of the little things. They were constantly sending words of advice, encouragement, and so many awesome ideas! On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to the room I was getting ready in and it was like the second they showed up, every single wedding day jitter I had just flew out the window. They made everything feel so natural and easy, and honestly so much fun! There is no one I would recommend more than this amazing husband/wife duo, because honestly they made our entire wedding 100x better! To top it off, after the wedding they gifted us a box with the sweetest candid Polaroid pictures that brought me to tears. It was all just absolutely perfect! They also got us our sneak peaks immediately after the wedding, they were all just so perfect and beautiful! These two will forever be my go-to photographers and I encourage everyone to choose them for any event! D.J. & Ashley, thank you for going through this entire engagement/wedding journey with us. You two were an absolute blessing and we honestly just can’t thank you enough!!

Hi, I’m Amandha! A Brazilian-born wedding and elopement photographer based in Denver, CO. My love for storytelling, travel, and memory-making brought me to the U.S. six years ago, and after living coast to coast and down south, I found my heart home in the Colorado mountains with my husband and our pup. I’m all about capturing love stories with warmth, intention, and a cinematic touch—told in a way that feels real, romantic, and deeply you, like a movie scene you’ll never forget.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amandha is an awesome photographer!! She’s very sweet and creative. My girlfriend and I had so much fun in our session, and we absolutely LOVED the pictures!!! Amandha made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera, which helped us to get what we expected from this shoot: very natural, sweet and spontaneous pictures! I highly recommend her!!

We loved working with Noelle and Daniela at LaElleKae.

Additionally, they were incredibly respectful of our budget and very easy to talk to. It's clear that they are experienced in working with all types of brides (and grooms) with all types of visions!

  • Serves Alton, IL for additional fees

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Eugene for our wedding! His relaxed, easy-going vibe immediately put us at ease, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. It felt like having a close friend capturing our day, not just a photographer. The photos are breathtakingly beautiful and so true to life— just authentic moments and natural colors that perfectly captured the feel of the day. Every time we look at them, it’s like reliving our wedding all over again. Eugene was a pro at blending in seamlessly—catching the little candid moments while still guiding us gently through the posed shots when needed. He made everything feel so effortless and fun! If you want stunning photos and a photographer who makes the entire process stress-free, we can’t recommend Eugene enough!

Hey, Im Grant. I'm a Madison, WI based wedding photographer who specializes in a documentary approach using both film and digital photography. If you want your wedding gallery to be uniquely yours (vs a Pinterest shotlist), then I'm your guy.

Awarded Best of Zola
WE LOVE GRANT. I can’t say it enough. I’ve been antsy for more of my friends and family to get engaged just so I can recommend Grant be their wedding photographer. We started with an engagement session with Grant, which felt just like a hang out (and that is EXACTLY what we wanted). We were dreading the engagement session, since this was our first time getting professional pictures taken, and we normally feel very awkward in front of a camera. Grant made it so easy and comfortable by playing music, joking around, asking questions, and prompting us to do certain things, so we never felt lost or posed. It also helped that Grant is hilarious- we were never told to “turn and face each other and pretend to laugh,” since we were basically naturally laughing the whole time already. For our wedding day, we hired Grant to shoot only with film, and boy did he deliver. There’s a sense of rawness and nostalgia to his film pictures, making them absolutely timeless. Each time I look through our gallery, I discover and love something new about each picture. He captured moments I didn’t even know that I wanted, but are now my favorite shots from that day. The day of your wedding, there are so many things going through your mind, so many questions being asked of you, and so many things you end up forgetting. Grant’s playful, yet confident energy constantly put me at ease. He knew when a joke was needed, when hair needed fixing, how to steam dresses (yes, he actually did that), how to deal with children, where to go and what to do at any moment, and when we just needed a break. To top it all off, Grant surprised me and my husband at the end of the night with a whole set of Polaroids he took of every big moment throughout the whole day (so thoughtful and special!!). I now have them all in a frame, illustrating our wedding so perfectly. It is VERY clear Grant is in this business because he loves it and is passionate about what he does. I was never hesitant to tell him my [particular/annoying] requests or opinions, because he was always open to hearing them and excited to take on a new challenge. I honestly wish I could just take Grant and his camera with me everywhere I go to capture all the big moments in my life. I will cherish our pictures forever, as well as our new friendship with him!

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, & now Mississippi!! What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I also just got married on August 31st, so I know how it feels to be both a service provider and a customer! My style of photography is more candid with a documentary style approach, but I do love a good editorial moment!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Angie! She captured our wedding day beautifully, blending professionalism with a warm, friendly presence. The candid shots were especially stunning, showcasing the genuine emotions of the day. Communication was easy, and we received our photos promptly.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios gave us something we couldn't find anywhere else. They were able to capture the totality of our destination wedding experience. On top of that Ashley and Rebecca were able to take the pressure off of couples portraits before the wedding by creating a unique, intimate, striking, outdoor day-after location shoot. This allowed us to enjoy the run up to our wedding with minimal disruptions and gave us a portrait shoot that exceeded our expectations. Having Wide Eyed Studios with us during our entire destination event helped us authentically capture all of the fun moments we had with our friends and family leading up to the wedding. They were able to capture so much more than I had expected, and we now have so much more to look back on with incredible photos. With all of the amazing imagery that was captured, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception got even more love. The comfort level that was already gained with Ashley having been integrated with the group upleveled all of the content that was captured on wedding day. We are so thankful for all of the moments that were captured. Overall, the entire experience with Ashely and Wide Eyed Studios was so meaningful to us. They felt more a part of our celebration than a vendor we hired to support it. We couldn't have asked for anything more and the pictures we received still make us shake our heads with disbelief. Thank you, Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios for making our destination wedding the best it could possibly be.

When booking, I'm confirming we are compatible. I am out here making friends...You can't capture genuine emotion with no connection. For some real connection: I love music of all kinds, but emo bangers are forever my millennial heart, I'm obsessed with my big fluffy dog, Interracial couples are near and dear (cuz samsies), I drink a ton of caffeine, and my hot take is your wedding means only your opinion matters... no one else's🤘

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!

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! 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.

I had the pleasure of working with Sofi for our wedding, and I can confidently say that choosing them was one of the best decisions we made! From start to finish, Sofi was an absolute dream to work with. Right from our first meeting, Sofi listened attentively to our vision and helped bring it to life in a way that was far beyond our expectations. They took the time to understand our style, preferences, and budget, and expertly curated a plan that made our dream wedding a reality. Their attention to detail was unmatched, ensuring that every little aspect of the day, from the flowers to the seating arrangement, was flawless. What stood out most to me was Sofi's professionalism and ability to stay calm under pressure. Weddings are often stressful, but Sofi handled everything with grace, ensuring everything went smoothly on the big day. They coordinated with vendors, kept the timeline on track, and made sure we could enjoy every moment without any worries. They also went above and beyond in helping us make decisions, whether it was recommending amazing vendors, suggesting creative ideas, or offering solutions when challenges arose. Their knowledge and experience were invaluable. On our wedding day, I was able to relax and truly enjoy every moment, knowing that Sofi had everything under control. The event was beautiful, seamless, and exactly what we had envisioned. I highly recommend Philosofi Celebrations to anyone planning their wedding. If you want a stress-free, unforgettable experience, this is the wedding planner for you! Thank you again, Sofi for making our day perfect!

Welcome to our creative world! We are David and Katie, a photo and video dynamic duo from the peach state. But, we are more than just visual storytellers. We want to get to know you and build a friendship that extends beyond our lens. Our goal is to capture genuine memories that you'll cherish for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Hevesi Journal was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was reassuring, empathetic, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire process. The quality of Katie's work was truly unique, lovely, and creative - they captured all the important moments and understood the vibe of our wedding day perfectly. Katie even traveled all the way from Georgia to Vermont to join us, which we really appreciated. We are thrilled with how the photos came out. Katie has a unique style that we adored from the start. We aren't people who really love having our pictures taken and Katie was understanding of that, while also making sure we got what we wanted (even though we might not have understood that ourselves.) We highly recommend Katie to any couple seeking a talented, personable photographer for their big day.
