With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We used Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. for our wedding and engagement photos, and they were amazing from start to finish. Their communication was clear, helpful, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was efficient, stunning, and highly personalized to our style. They sent us multiple photographer options to choose from, and we went with Sabatani, who captured every moment of our special day beautifully. OLAS also helped us create a detailed day-of timeline to ensure everything ran smoothly. We're thrilled with the photos and couldn't have asked for a better photography experience for our wedding.

I’m Maggie! I am a fine art, documentary wedding photographer. I like to mix real life moments with a few naturally posed, timeless portraits, so at the end of the day you have a collection of memories that are authentic and that you can cherish forever. What drives me are real people, and real moments. That’s what I love about wedding days! It’s about the little moments that turn into big moments. The people who were there all along and will forever be cheering you on. Your next step documented, shared, and treasured. My images will always reflect the truth of your day, shot in a timeless and artistic way.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Stepping Stones Photography for our May 2024 wedding and are so happy with our decision and the results. Maggie was such a pleasure to work with and truly exceeded our expectations. From before booking to even after our wedding, Maggie has been clear in communication on what to expect and always a listening ear. As part of our initial inquiry, we were able to meet with her via Zoom to get to know each other and right away we could see her passion for photography as a means to produce authentic photos. Our package included an engagement session, which affirmed our decision before the big day. Maggie did a fantastic job giving us guidance in how to pose and made me and my husband feel so comfortable, as two people that do not like photos being taken of them. Between the engagement session and our wedding, Maggie was there as a resource to provide timeline information and resources on how the day would go. We filled out a questionnaire to provide all the little details that she absolutely took into account on our big day. I have to reiterate how helpful the timeline was because I had bridesmaids, family members and other brides all impressed with the level of detail she provided and it truly was THE timeline we all referenced throughout the day which made things so easy for everyone involved. She kept the day moving without pressure and had a presence that did not make us feel like we had to be posed all night and could truly be in the moment. After the wedding, we received sneak peek photos in a very timely manner, which helped us relive the day during our mini-moon together when it was so close in our memory. We received our final pictures within the timeline provided, and are so pleased with the overall results. Maggie did a great job being able to capture the personalities of us and our loved ones. These photos are truly going to be cherished for the rest of our lives and I am incredibly grateful for our experience with Maggie.

Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

I love the storytelling aspect of photography. Photographs allow us to freeze a moment in time so that it can be remembered and relived years down the road. I started my journey in photography over 20 years ago and I'm lucky that I'm allowed to help so many couples tell and retell their wedding story. Weddings are full of small moments that deserve to be captured and remembered. From the early morning laughter as the bride fights with the champagne cork to make mimosas to the tears rolling down dad's face during the first dance... Those are the things that drive me to wedding photography... Real moments. Real emotions. Real stories to tell.

His ability to capture emotion in each frame is truly remarkable, resulting in a collection of photographs that we will cherish for a lifetime. Not only did Chase possess technical expertise, but he also had a keen eye for detail and composition. He effortlessly directed us during the portrait sessions, ensuring that we looked our best while still maintaining a natural and relaxed atmosphere. His creativity shone through in every shot, incorporating unique angles and perspectives that added depth and dimension to the final images. Throughout the day, Chase's calm and reassuring presence put us at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment without feeling rushed or stressed. He seamlessly blended into the background during the candid shots, capturing genuine interactions and spontaneous laughter effortlessly. In addition to his talent behind the camera, Chase's professionalism and dedication to his craft were evident in every aspect of his service. He was prompt and responsive in all communications, ensuring that our vision for the day was understood and executed flawlessly. His attention to detail was impeccable, from scouting the venue beforehand to meticulously editing each photo to perfection. Furthermore, the turnaround time for our photos was impressive. Despite the busy wedding season, Chase delivered our gallery promptly, allowing us to relive the magic of our day while the memories were still fresh in our minds. In conclusion, we cannot recommend Chase Wedding Photography highly enough.

When we started wedding planning in late 2023 for our wedding in October 2024, I was seriously panicking thinking about all the different vendors we’d need to book. I knew we needed a photographer who was pretty flexible since we lived out of town from where we were planning the wedding, and that was Brandi to a T!! She was recommended by our wedding planner and I could not be more glad we chose her. She’s personable, kind, helpful, and an amazing photographer. She did our engagement shoot as well, and perfectly captured the spooky vibes we were going for and recommended the coolest photography venue to do them at. On the day of the wedding, she captured every moment so well with her second shooter, Valerie, and I’m so grateful to now have an entire album of beautiful wedding photos to look back on. She even sat down with my young nephew on the wedding day and let him take a few pictures with her camera. Just the sweetest person- I can’t recommend Brandi enough!!!

To us, it's not just about the end product you receive – it's about the adventure and the memories we created in order to do so.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Applehead Photography was simply the best decision I could have made for my wedding. Looking back on my day, I am so incredibly grateful I invested into my photos specifically. You can have the best venue, the best food, the best whatever. But without the best photographers, none of that will be captured. And the best photographers can make anything average, look anything BUT average in the best way. Not only are the photos better than I could have ever imagined, but Heather and Philip were such a calming and fun presence on one of the biggest days of my life. My husband was not really the most excited for photos, but he ended up having such a good time without it being overwhelming and excruciatingly long. He felt comfortable in Applehead’s hands too which made me relax as well. I could go on and on about how perfect they were, but long story short, choose Applehead. Best wedding decision ever.

Big Day Story exceeded every expectation I had. On the wedding day, they made everything seamless and fun—even my husband, who isn’t a fan of being in front of the camera, got into it! The quality of their work was evident from the start, but when I received the final product, I was blown away. They handled both photography and videography for us, and the wedding highlight video was simply stunning. Everyone who has watched it raves about how beautifully done it is. Throughout the process, their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. I even received compliments from guests about how fantastic they were on the day of the wedding. Huge thanks to Sanjay and Bipin for capturing our special day so perfectly!

I shot my first wedding July 2007 on eight days notice for a family friend. It was exhilarating. I fell in love with documenting and creating memories for my first bride and groom, Nicki & Jay. They loved my work. I found my professional calling. In 2009, I opened the business and started officially offering my services as a professional Atlanta wedding photographer. Since then, I’ve prided myself on caring about your special day more than any other vendor participating in your wedding.

Danielle was so much fun to work with for my surprise engagement at Chateau Elan! The photos turned out absolutely wonderful. She captured our personalities beautifully, and the quality was above and beyond. We were also thrilled that she was able to take so many photos with our family and friends who were with us that day as well. I was so shocked by the proposal that I kept wiping the tears off my face, but she was quick to step in and help me wipe my face without losing all my makeup! We were in a slight rush to make it to a surprise dinner that my fiancee set up, but she was able to take us to all the best spots within a limited time frame. She also did a great job at suggesting poses that were comfortable for both of us. Dani is awesome and I couldn't recommend her more for your surprise engagement! :)

We really enjoyed working with Jessica! From our initial consultation to the day of, she was professional, organized, and personable, making sure I felt comfortable and confident with the process - I never doubted that I'd end up with exactly the photos I dreamed of having from my wedding day! Her work is absolutely beautiful, with a cohesive vision that has this gorgeous moodiness to it but that doesn't sap color away. From our engagement shoot to our wedding, I just love how all of our photos turned out! And, despite getting all these photos, she did a great job at getting photos done quickly and efficiently so we didn't feel at all like our wedding day was just a photo shoot and had plenty of time to still connect with our guests and enjoy the day. We are so happy with our photos and our experience, and we cannot recommend JC Rosewood Photography highly enough!
