From the moment we booked Shelby Phillips Photography, the communication was excellent, easy, and seamless. Shelby and her team have an incredibly creative and artistic eye, capturing all the special candid moments of our wedding day(s). Shelby shot both of our weddings, a Covid city hall wedding and our post pandemic wedding. We also have recommended her for our family's engagements and weddings, and we all couldn't be happier with the results of everything she has done. I would hire her to photograph anything, at any time, because I know that no matter what, the results will be stunning. Even if it was just a picture of a garbage can, I promise you that garbage would look high key incredible. Shelby has a way of making even the most camera-shy people feel completely comfortable in front of the lens. We are obsessed with how amazing our photos turned out, and we highly recommend Shelby Phillips Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

My husband and I flew Golden Hour Images to Utah for our wedding and it was worth every single penny!! Golden Hour Images was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, their communication was super consistent and they listened to everything we wanted. The photographer, Jenna, did an amazing job and just her sneak peaks had my husband, me and my family absolutely balling. She did the best job at capturing all our sensitive moments and made us feel and look absolutely beautiful throughout the day.

We worked with Maurissa, who was very helpful to first calm my nerves about the whole process of wedding planning. I didn't have a lot of specific ideas for shots to take but that's where her experience came in handy. The day of the wedding she was very flexible with working with how the timeline was going. We only made it through all of the pictures we for sure wanted thanks to Maurissa's direction giving with our massive group of friends and family! The preview we've seen so far looks great, we're very excited to see the full package of what she captured.

Her professionalism and warmth immediately put us at ease, and we felt completely confident in her hands throughout the entire process.

The end result was a collection of photos that surpassed everything we hoped for. We will treasure them forever.

Dan has been doing the website photos for Authentically You Counseling for the past few years. Although it’s not a wedding - I can speak to his character and work. Dan brings his sense of humor to his professional work to make everyone feel more comfortable in front of the camera. We are a fun bunch and he took advantage of that - offering some fun shots along with the professional ones. He was able to capture the personalities of those he photographed. For Dan, photography is more than it seems - it is the art of capturing moments, not poses - of capturing the beauty around him.

Highly highly recommend Amanda! We got her information from our venue and I am so glad we went with her for our wedding. My husband and I were nervous about having our photos taken as we never had them done professionally before, but when we did our engagement session she told us exactly how to pose and what to do and they came out so beautiful and I still love looking back at our wedding photos, she captured the best moments. She even shot our newborns photos 10 months after our wedding (our honeymoon baby, lol) and she is a wizard with a swaddle blanket. Can’t recommend her enough!

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.

Welcome! I am a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants who chose to move to Connecticut, where I have lived for most of my life. I love the change of seasons in this part of the country and all the rich backdrops it brings for imagery (and mental health walks and runs). My cultural heritage is the foundation for my photographic passion. My camera allows me to work where I know I work best, behind-the-scenes, front row at some of the most profound moments in people's lives. In a pinch though, I'll be there carrying the train, making sure you don't get your shoes dirty and helping to support you where I can throughout your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim was fantastic and such a wonderful part of our wedding day. She makes you feel like you have known her for years, allowing your family, bridal party and of course the bride and groom to feel comfortable and at ease. She captured the little details and candid moments that allowed the personality and relationships of our group to shine. Our portraits and posed moments came out absolutely amazing because of her sheer ability to position, think outside the box and capture photos with a lens of creativity, while still remaining traditional. Thank you, Kim for being part of our special day and providing us with captured memories that will last a lifetime. We HIGHLY recommend using Kim for your big day and any event, big or small that you want to cherish forever!

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

Sydney was a dream to work with for our wedding! She is so kind and easy-going, she instantly eased all of my wedding day anxieties. She truly does it all and was essential in making our day run smoothly. From fixing my veil, to bustling my dress, and wrangling up our wedding party all while getting fantastic photos. She really is so talented at what she does by capturing all of the in-between, authentic moments that you want to remember forever. Our photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined and are so timeless, we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We couldn’t recommend her enough not only because of her beautiful work but for the person that she is!!!

Authentic moments and real love stories. Wedding photos that feel like you. For me, the most important part of your wedding day is that you enjoy it. I have 10+ years and 200+ weddings of experience, and I genuinely love my job. Queer/LGBTQ+ friendly - always.

My husband and I worked with Sasha for our wedding in August 2024. We found her while searching on social media and are SO happy we did! I was instantly taken aback by her photos on her instagram and website. Her usage of light is just stunning! And working with her on our big day was a dream! Sasha was so calming and supportive. Our day was so hot and humid, but Sasha worked so hard with a smile. Truly, spending time with her was a highlight of our day. It felt like being with a good friend. We hope to work with her again one day! Now to talk our photos! The images were everything we wanted. Sasha did the perfect job capturing the day and looking back at the photos is literally like relieving our wedding day. From the details, to the smiles and laughter and happy tears, Sasha was there.

I specialize in creating uniquely personalized images that will set your photos apart from the rest. I am stealthy and observant, catching all of the little moments that end up meaning so much more. Feedback from clients includes my seamless workflow and calm demeanor made for a stress-free photo experience and that I achieved the perfect mix of natural and directed moments that do not come off as stiff or posed. In addition to photography and videography I also specialize in designing unique "photobooth" sets for you and your guests to have stylized photos without tracking down the photographer.

My experience working with Bee Roll Media was amazing. My wife and I both needed headshots for new jobs we were starting, and also wanted to do a fun couples shoot for holiday cards. The photographer Brianna made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and styled us to look our best. I got many compliments from colleagues for how professional my headshot was and was asked if they could get the photographer’s contact to do their own. As for the couples shoot, we had tons of fun. The studio had an awesome retro vibe that totally fit our aesthetic and we felt like we were models in an 80’s catalogue. She even shot on film to boost the retro look! People loved the holiday card we sent out and so did we! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time!

We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

From the moment we hired Bridget, we knew we were in great hands. She was not just a photographer, but a true partner throughout the entire wedding planning process. Her support was invaluable as she helped guide us through timelines and offered advice on how to make our day even more special. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, she truly went above and beyond. She was not only an incredible photographer but also the ultimate hype girl—cheering us on, keeping us calm, and making sure every moment was captured beautifully. Her attention to detail was incredible; no special moment was missed, and she seamlessly blended candid shots with stunning portraits. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away! Each image was more beautiful than we could have imagined—emotions, laughter, and love were all perfectly captured. The photos felt like a reflection of our story, and we’ll cherish them forever. Thank you, Bridget, for making our wedding day unforgettable and for giving us memories that will last a lifetime! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

Evan took our vision and ran with it, creating the most beautiful images and capturing everything with such an impressive artistic eye. He cares so much about his craft that he even threw in film and polaroid shots (something we REALLY wanted, but it was not in the budget). My husband doesn't love being in front of the camera, but he has never felt more at ease. Evan is not only endlessly talented as a photographer, but he's a wonderful mix of professional and cool, calm, and collected. If you want images that are unique, beautiful, and made with great care, go with Evan Taylor Studio :)

Hello there new friend! My name is Jo and it is SO great to meet you! I am a wedding, elopement... and pretty much all things love- photographer based in the incredible city of Boston, Massachusetts! I'm a hopeless romantic at heart! And if there's one thing in this life that I absolutely adore, it's a GOOD love story. If I had to pick a second thing, it would be working with couples that are authentic, joyful, and unapologetically themselves. So as you can imagine, weddings and elopements are my absolute FAVORITE! Joining along on the happiest day of your life is a dream, and I adore all the moments I get to share with my couples!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jo photographed our wedding and she was INCREDIBLE! She really captured our joy. Quick turnaround time of the album and it was so wonderful to look back at how she captured the beauty & fun of the day. We can't wait to have them framed on our wall forever! Would not hesitate to recommend Jo if you want beautiful & vibrant memories of your wedding day!
