Our job is to make your wedding photography journey as easy and fun as possible! It is important that we get to know YOU! Thank you for stopping by and we hope to see YOU very soon! Cheers and congratulations!!!!

Yellow Tree Photography made our wedding day absolutely enchanting! My cousin got married and used their service, and I new right off the first time I met thm that's who we wanted to photograph our wedding. I’ve never seen a more passionate Duo of photographers! Dave and Emily worked so great together and made everyone very comfortable. They went above and beyond with customer service and captured our wedding in a way that brings us back to our special day every time we look at our pictures. Our wall art and album are absolutely beautiful! They’ve managed to shoot the most special and important moments of our wedding day from so many different angles, and each of those photos can be easily put in a frame or on a canvas. That’s what I did actually. It was quite difficult to decide which photo to put on canvas because there were so many of them. We booked them for 9 hours, and they gave us so many great photos, and we were left absolutely speechless. My advice to all couples out there is don’t think twice and book them as soon as you can. We are now expecting our first baby and have already booked them for newborn photos! Thanks Emily and Dave!

Our Savvy Shoots team creatively documents your wedding day while ensuring a reliable and enjoyable experience! Our clients are our main priority. From timeline creation to exclusive deals with other vendors, our job is to make wedding planning less stressful and more exciting!

Savannah did an AMAZING job. Her hubby was there to help and both were so patient, kind, and professional throughout the entire ceremony and reception. We had multiple calls to go over our wedding timeline and what to expect. She always communicated and responded quickly to any questions or concerns that I had. We had a few changes and she adapted quickly. She also helped ease my nerves on our big day. From our first look, to walking down the aisle, first dance, and family photos. When I look back at my photos I feel all the butterflies again. It was important to capture every detail since we did not do a video photographer. And she did exactly that! She sent us some sneak peaks and we got to share those moments with family and friends and they had nothing but amazing things to say about her as well. If I could to back and do it all again I would choose her again and again!! I can’t recommend her enough!!! Thank you so so much. Can’t wait to work together again.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Emily multiple times. She shot our family photos, came to our house right before our dog passed to get a few last photos of him and I did a boudoir session with her. It only felt right to trust her with the biggest day of our lives. Her personality is 12/10. She is funny, realistic and so easy to get along with and connect with. She cares so much about you as a person and it’s reflected heavily in her work as a photographer. I’m beyond blessed to have met her and have her shoot our wedding. There is quite literally no one else I would trust. We will be forever thankful for Emily and the impact she has had on our lives.

I enjoy capturing the couple's special day and helping them preserve those great memories through the photos I take. I enjoy the process as much as the result. My passion for both technical and artistic aspects of photography shine through in the services I provide.

Jonathan was absolutely amazing to work with! My wife and I were blown away by the quality of the photos – they were even better than we imagined! Jonathan came very prepared for our day and was incredibly professional throughout the entire process. His communication style is so chill and laid-back, which made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We also loved how excited he got when he captured a really good shot—it made the experience even more enjoyable! To top it all off, he even provided physical samples at the end of our wedding, giving us a little something to take with us on our honeymoon. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend him for any special occasion. We will definitely be using him again in the future!

When you invest in my wedding photography, you're investing not only in an experienced photographer with a great eye, but in a one of a kind creative direction and compositional instincts that takes years to hone. My work is focussed on creating timeless yet modern images, with a strong editorial slant while viewing everything through a romantic lens. I am focussed on gorgeous lighting, poses that are natural and flattering and the luxury that embodies your magical day.

Awarded Best of Zola
My favourite part of the Astrid Cordier Bridal Experience was how comfortable she made us feel. My husband is not a photo type of guy, and even he felt at ease when Astrid stepped behind the camera. Not only is the end result something out of a fairytale, but the jokes and giggles between shots come as a welcome distraction from the wedding nerves. You don't feel posed, it feels natural and you feel like you can show your own personality and your relationship. No forced smiles or kisses. I could not recommend Astrid enough!

Hiiii, I’m Taylor! Wife to my best friend, Golden Retriever mom to our Beckham, and outdoor enthusiast. My business was created purely out of passion. I’ve always had a love for photography, art and design. I first picked up a camera in 2009 during a high school film class and haven’t stopped shooting since. My photography is inspired by nature’s beauty and life’s beautiful details. I have an infatuation with natural light, details & beautiful scenery. I strive to create light-filled, romantic & timeless imagery, from capturing all the small details to the raw emotional moments. This is my dream job and I’m thankful for it every day.

I honestly cannot thank Taylor enough. As a "COVID bride" many things about our wedding did not go as planned and there were plenty of emotions that came with that. However, when I received my GORGEOUS photos from Taylor, it meant the world to me to have something beautiful, over the top, and PERFECT during a time when so many things have taken unexpected turns. She was so professional on the day of, fast, knew all the "good angles", and made us feel so comfortable! I cannot say enough about her. Not to mention so flexible with the fast-paced change of plans leading up to the wedding day. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Hello, my name is Emily! I am a passionate full-time photographer with an affinity for coffee! Seriously, though, you will usually find me with a cup in hand! Anyway, enough about the most important food group in the world (coffee......). Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a firefighter wife, dog-mama and a photographer. I'm the sole owner and CEO of Photographs by Emily, LLC, which I started in 2009. Opening my own studio space in 2020! I feel so incredibly lucky that I get to do what I love every single day! Capturing life's most important memories with my camera is my passion in life. I like to keep things simple!

Emily is so great to work with! Emily did our engagement photos on Saturday (January 2019) (it was quite cold and pretty windy). She was great and helped us get all the shots we wanted. Emily was great with our dog and got a lot of shots with her as well. Many other photographers say they’re good with animals, but Emily proved it! She stayed happy and excited the whole time despite the cold. She let us be ourselves, and I love that our pictures don’t look posed and fake. They look like us! Emily photographed our wedding in July 2019. Unlike our engagement photos, it was quite warm on our wedding day. Emily was a champ once again! She came early and got getting ready shots. We did a first look, and I love how they turned out! Emily was great the whole time. She got every picture we asked her to take even though it was sweltering out.

Your moments deserve to be saved and treasured. Nothing about your life or relationship is too silly or too un-Instagrammable to be worthy of photographing. Photography is about making you feel comfortable, significant and gorgeous, while always taking you back in time to that specific moment and memory. That’s why my entire mission is to connect with every client on a personal level. It’s so that I can photograph you in a way that feels authentic to you and can become a legacy.

We knew when we booked with Olivia that her work was top notch, but that was the tip of the iceberg with her. She is incredibly thorough in her consultations and gets to know you to make you picture dreams come true. My husband and I never had profession photos taken of us before our engagement session and Olivia was fantastic. She guided us through every shot and made us comfortable and had us laughing all night long. I am so thankful we had her the day of our wedding. She had a detailed itinerary that kept us on time with more than enough time to cherish all the sweet moments. She is excellent at guiding the entire bridal party to look great and feel great and at ease. I promise if you book with her your expectations will be blown out of the water. Olivia is a master at her craft, detail oriented, a kind and genuine person, and the best decision you will make about wedding planning.

Sam Sarkis Photography “Photography is more than a job for me, it is my passion! It is who I am as an individual. Some call me a friend or mentor; my family calls me a Father and a Husband. But everybody calls me a Photographer. That is who I am and what I am known for. As a young man growing I had a dream to capture the dreams of others and bring them to reality on film and canvass, this was what I was born to do. Each day I walk into my studio, I thank God for allowing me the privilege of living out my dreams.”

-Overall: We loved working with Sam and his daughter Loreen – they were professional, kind, and captured so many wonderful moments at our May wedding. -Photo Style: We hired Sam and Loreen for our wedding photos for their cinematic qualities. We looked at several photographers, but we saw a lot of photos that looked like they could have been taken with an iPhone. Sam is different - his style is classic photography, and Loreen's attention to detail really complimented Sam's style. -Working with Sam and Loreen: We did many portraits as a couple and with our wedding party, and Sam and Loreen worked the room during our cocktail hour and reception. In addition, we interviewed Sam and he reassured us that working with my brother, Seth, who is autistic, wouldn't be a problem - and it wasn't! Sam and Loreen gave great, clear instruction, which is always helpful and appreciated.
