Kaitlin Jude Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Capitola, CA for additional fees

I am an intimate wedding photographer based out of my home state, the Mitten. To sum it up, I'm laid back, chill, and ready to hang out. I call myself an intimate wedding photographer because I work best with couples who want a smaller, more close-knit feel to their wedding day and because I offer my clients a sense of familiarity, and comfortability and help them feel relaxed and ready for the day ahead. By the end-we're great friends! My hope with every session I have is that you'll find not only the pictures beautiful but the shared experience one to remember as well.

My husband and I had the greatest experience working with Kaitlin, I cannot say enough good things about her! We both are not super comfortable being in front of the camera and she made the entire experience so comfortable for us and so fun! She brought the best vibes to our day and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and wedding day hype girl! I am so lucky to have found her and we would love to work with her again!! I know booking with a vendor that you never met before can be stressful but Kaitlin made us feel so at ease and comfortable. Her portfolio really speaks for itself. She does amazing work and we LOVE how the pictures turned out as well! She just captured the day so perfectly! We highly recommend working with Kaitlin for your big day!

Welcome to Taira Marie Photography, we are excited that you have found us! Take your time browsing around to learn a little bit about us and our style. We are here for you if you have any questions and are looking forward to connecting with you!

Deciding on a wedding photographer is not an easy task because you know these are once-in-a-lifetime memories to be captured, but choosing and working with Taira Marie Photography was nothing short of extraordinary. We discovered their Instagram through our Wedding venue, as they had worked together on some events and photoshoots, and I was immediately drawn to the photography style. It was completely serendipitous to find out that they had our wedding date available and hit it off with their team on our first meeting. Our package came with an engagement shoot, which gave us an opportunity to really get comfortable in front of the cameras, they turned out lovely and we realized how truly passionate Taira is about her job. The photography team worked with us to hit every "shot list" photo we wanted to get on our big day and captured the most beautiful details. Taira and Joey felt like family at our wedding and have been so good to us with their communication and professionalism. Our wedding album just arrived (hand-delivered too!) and it's amazing, I'll never forget how we felt that day because it's so wonderfully and thoroughly portrayed with their photography.

Hi, I’m Jaida Jackson! I’m so glad you’re here. With 8 years of experience in wedding photography, I’m passionate about capturing real, beautiful moments that truly reflect your relationship. My style blends modern elegance with a natural, relaxed vibe, creating timeless images you’ll cherish for a lifetime. Whether you’re planning a classic wedding or something a little more off-beat, I’m all about making your day unforgettable through photos that feel genuine and polished. If you’re looking for a photographer who brings energy, creativity, and professionalism, let’s connect!

If you're searching for a wedding photographer who is professional, talented, and an absolute joy to work with, look no further than Jaida! From the very beginning, Jaida impressed us with her promptness and dedication. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, providing clear and helpful direction that made capturing special moments effortless and stress-free. One of the standout qualities of Jaida is how seamlessly she worked with our videographer, who was from a different vendor. Watching them collaborate so efficiently gave us complete confidence that every detail of our day was being beautifully documented. Jaida also made my husband and me feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera—a true gift, especially on a day filled with emotions and excitement. She was attentive to all of our photo requests and ensured we got every shot we needed. Her warm smile and positive energy were constant throughout the day, making her not just a photographer but a calming and uplifting presence. While we haven’t seen the photos yet (our wedding was just last Saturday), if they reflect even a fraction of Jaida’s work ethic and amazing personality, we know they’ll be nothing short of spectacular. We can’t wait to see them and will absolutely be sharing another review once we do. Thank you, Jaida, for capturing our special day and for being such a wonderful part of it. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

Genuine, adventurous, emotion filled images. From oceanside to mountain top, from winery to backyard, from urban to countryside- we create timeless and beautiful images that are not only memories of your day, but also pieces of art for you to cherish.

Madison was such an amazing photographer but that only tells a part of the story. From the moment we contacted her through all the way past our wedding day, she was the best decision we made. Not only does Madison have such a calming presence, but she is full of great ideas and so comfortable to be around. We did our engagement photos and knew from the first moment, that we wanted her for our wedding as well. She was also willing to share ideas and ask questions and put us at so much ease. We were new to this process and she helped so much. Our photos came out so beautiful and could not be happier. Book her now!!!

My goal is for you to not just 'see' your images, but to really feel them too. That is why building a connection with my clients is so important to me. I care so much about the couples I get to work with and get so excited to be able to visually tell their story in a way that is unique to them.

Brea Warren Photo was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, Brea's photos that were romantic and whimsical, and it put us at ease and made the entire process so enjoyable. Her work is truly 1000000/10 - the photos she captured of our special day are beyond stunning. When we had to pivot to an indoor ceremony due to unexpected rain and fog, Brea rolled with the punches seamlessly and found a way to make the beauty of the weather shine through in the most gorgeous way. We also had the pleasure of doing engagement photos with Brea, and they were just as beautiful as the wedding day shots. Brea has been completely wonderful throughout the entire process, and we feel so lucky to have found her to document our love story.

Tired of not seeing yourselves represented in the wedding industry? Welcome to the RTP fam - we're a husband and wife duo shooting a combination of digital, film and Polaroid photos so that your gallery will deliver all the vibes and capture your sick, nontraditional love. And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

Meaghan and Evan photographed our Halloween wedding and we couldn't imagine having anyone else! We met Meaghan and Evan last October when they shot our engagement photos. They were more than willing to trudge through our favorite park and stop at all our favorite spots to get some beautiful photos we used for our save the date. We got to get to know them a little more over at our favorite little ramen restaurant after the session and of course we were instantly sold! Meaghan was super communicative and responded to every email I sent her pretty much right away every single time. As we got closer to the wedding day, she sent an incredibly detailed questionnaire. It covered everything from our most important shots to what weird family dynamics she should be conscious of; we sincerely appreciated this level of care, especially as a queer couple with some iffy family things. When I was hiring vendors, it was extremely important to me to find vendors who were queer/queer friendly and body positive, and Meaghan checked off both boxes in spades. My wife and I both have huge body insecurities and are deeply self-conscious of photos-but Meaghan made us both feel so beautiful. I was never even aware of the parts of myself I am usually hyper aware of because Meaghan and Evan both made us feel so comfortable. We were able to laugh and feel every emotion without once worrying about how we would look in the photos. On the day of, Meaghan kept us right on track without rushing us or making us feel stressed. We were definitely running behind at points but Meaghan handled it all with grace and helped me keep my head above water the whole time. They captured every moment in such a storybook way that we are able to talk about and remember every detail of the day based on the photos. This gallery is such a keepsake and such a special reminder of the best day of our lives. Its so heartwarming to look back and see how happy we and our guests look. And my wife and I both couldn’t have asked for more stunning photos of ourselves. We both look and feel so feminine, so whimsical, so magical. She captured our authentic selves, which is what makes her photos so unique and beautiful. I can't wait to order our prints and have these photos in our home forever! Thank you, Meaghan and Evan. There's so much more I could say but I'll leave off with, we are so grateful to have had you on our day. We love our photos so much. And we can't wait to have you do another shoot for us sometime in the near future! We cannot recommend you highly enough!

I have 5 sons (yep, 5!) and have to pinch myself when I think about my amazing family and this career that has taken my husband and I all over the world. I value experience and relationships over material things, and work mostly with couples who are planning smaller weddings or elopements. After 12 years and 300+ weddings, I’ve learned that connection and authenticity are essential to who I am, and the way that I work.

There's a feeling you get when someone you love smiles, when they laugh, when they take your hand in theirs. Those feelings are what I seek to capture. I combine the physical beauty of a moment with candid emotions to create heart-warming images that bring you back into the moment all over again.

Audrey was a dream photographer to have at our wedding! In addition to being so personable and having such a wonderful personality, she's an extremely talented artist!! Her photos are absolutely stunning and she really captures the moment. Looking through my photos I feel the excitement of that day! She is so sweet and made everyone feel so comfortable taking photos that the time flew by. I also felt like she was everywhere capturing all our moments -- I don't know how she did it all! We also received a lot of compliments about Audrey and how wonderful she is. Would definitely love getting to work with Audrey again.

Amanda and KC were amazing! My fiancé and I were hesitant to take engagement photos at all—we are both awkward and don’t pose well for photos. Amanda and KC were very relaxed, casual and FUN! They made us laugh the entire time and everything felt so easy & comfortable. AND THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL! First, we don’t look awkward (big win). And second, the settings/backdrops/lighting they chose were exactly what we were looking for. Great experience and would highly recommend for anyone looking for engagement photos.

Want a trusted, unobtrusive, thoughtful pro photographer friend on your wedding day? Someone to capture the way the wedding FEELS as well as it looks. A little direction during portrait time, a little leadership during family portraits, and near invisibility all other times? I think you’re onto something. I’m in. What's exciting? What’s important? What's confusing? Let’s sit down for a discovery meeting and I’ll ask, listen, lay out options, and share suggestions. I want to learn about you. I'm on your team 100% before, during, and after your wedding. Bonus: I've shot 400+ practice weddings before yours and I absolutely LOVE what I do!

We found Olivia to be a wonderful, skilled photographer! Her eye for composition is creative, yet she demonstrated the connectiveness of us as a couple. The one thing that stands out is how Olivia totally put us at ease by using innovative ways to relax us as we were posing. She had us, as we were holding a position close to each other, to tell each other 3 things we love and appreciate about each other. This of course brought smiles and was totally relaxing and sincere. She made us so relaxed and comfortable . As a result , the photos look completely natural. We actually became engaged the afternoon, immediately after these photos were taken. She made the moment so relaxing and magical. It was serendipity. I recommend her highly, and will be spreading the word amongst my friends and contacts. We will treasure these photos forever.

Northern Glow was built from a passion to create and document imagery in an art form that can be cherished for a lifetime. I have captured over 130+ weddings and countless other portrait sessions. The growth in the craft is what moves me. There is always new experiences and amazing people to meet. I truly want us to feel like old friends when the album has been delivered In brief... my ethos is to capture in an organic candid "unposed" fashion. All of this should be achieved by minimizing the nervousness in front of the camera and engaging in a fun adventurous experience.

Working with David was an absolute dream! From the moment we booked him, we knew we were in great hands. Not only is he an incredible artist with a keen eye for detail, but he’s also a genuinely kind and fun person. We were lucky enough to receive complimentary engagement photos as part of our package, and it was the perfect way to get to know David before our big day. On our wedding day, we spent the entire day with him, and it was such a fun and enjoyable experience. Having a photographer and videographer you feel comfortable with is so important, as you’ll spend more time with them than anyone else. David’s easygoing nature and positive energy made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment without worrying about the camera. We couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out—they’re absolutely stunning! We look forward to having David capture many more of our special moments in the future. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for not just a talented photographer, but a wonderful person to share in your big day!

I love exploring the world! THAT is why I love capturing love stories from all parts of the earth. I was living in New Zealand for a few years when I met my husband, Tyler. He shares the same love of wild adventure as I do. Together we have taken roadies through NZ, Australia, Indonesia, West Papua, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea. We have been married for almost three years now and live in Denver together in a little apartment. You can find us flipping vans into campers, bargain hunting at the local thrift store, or literally anywhere in the mountains on the weekend.

Working with Lauren has been one of my favorite parts of the wedding industry. We have probably worked over 30 weddings together and I am continually impressed by her dependability, excellence of work, and constant level of joy and enthusiasm through each wedding day. I have seen her interact with a diverse array of couples and she treats each of them uniquely and with the utmost care. I can see that she genuinely loves each couple that she works with and this sets her apart. If you are looking for a teammate, friend and overall great personality to work with, stop looking elsewhere. Lauren is your girl!

My earliest memories of photography are from when I attended weddings at 5 or 6 years old. I would photograph everyone at these weddings with a small, plastic, film camera and loved every moment. That joy of photography and capturing beauty and love has stayed with me ever since. I have a better camera now, but I still can't wait to capture your love.

I have hired Tom to take headshots for me as a musician, as well as to photograph my engagement to my fiancee in August 2020. He is extremely talented as a photographer, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better for those jobs. He makes clients feel comfortable and beautiful, which gets them to look and feel their best for the photos.

Here to capture your genuine connection and be your resource while you plan your wedding or elopement! I’m Kelly, a traveling photographer ready to tag along on your next adventure and capture you two! I help couples feel confident and comfortable behind the camera on their special day so that you can focus on enjoying every moment of it. Let’s create an experience that speaks to you and your love for eachother.

Kelly was a perfect wedding photographer. After doing our engagement photos with us at 5 AM in the Colorado Rockies to get the perfect sunrise glow, I knew we had the perfect photographer. She then met with us a few times before the wedding to go over timeline and expectations, and she was extremely organized and insightful with all her recommendations and questions. She thinks of every detail you may not consider from a photography standpoint and recommended some great photo ideas. She and her co-photographer kept us perfectly on time the entire day and she had the kind and excitable energy you need from a photographer on your wedding day. We just got our photos back and they’re the best photos ever. So many great candids! They captured the day perfectly. Kelly’s editing style is natural and very polished and the pictures exceeded my high expectations. Kelly is a perfect photographer- I really cannot recommend her enough. These may be the best pictures my wife and I will ever have together!

We have worked with Christina many times for our pictures and I promise you, we won’t go anywhere else ever again! The first time we did pictures with Christina she made us feel SO comfortable and she was so professional guiding us on what poses to do (because we had no idea), you feel like you’ve known her your entire life right when you first meet her.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the minute we met with Adrienne Gunde, I knew we had to have her take our engagement and wedding photos!! She was so easy to talk to, enthusiastic about our ideas, and made the process so fun! We did our engagement photos with her at Old Town Pasadena and she captured a shot for us that made me feel like we were in a magazine shoot! It was my husband lifting me up in the middle of the intersection. I literally blew it up and had it framed once we received it! She was patient and made it such a memorable experience. The photos she took of our wedding…. I have made photo books for the grandparents and I blown up onto canvas and framed photos around our home, and we still look at them and reminisce of that magical day! (This was 7 years ago… and still some of my favorite photos to look at!) I highly recommend Adrienne because she will not only capture the most beautiful photos, she will make the experience an enjoyable one.

We loved working with Sydney! We got married in May of 2020, and she was so kind and flexible as our plans kept changing due to state guidelines. Her pictures remind me of every surprise, every wonderful thing I want to remember about the best day of my life, and I love getting to relive that day through her photos! She really managed to capture every emotion that we experienced that day in such a beautiful and timeless way, and I'm so excited to work with her again for future family photos.

Hi! I’m Kalin. Like Katelynn, without the T. I’m a NYC and Westchester photographer specializing in couples, families and fun having. I’m laidback, perfectly ok with last minute requests and happy to travel to your location. I live for good light and capturing your most magical moments in all of their authenticity. My photography style naturally lives somewhere between editorial and photojournalist. The way I see it is, you’re creating and living in perfect moments and it is my job to show you! I want you to leave our time together feeling like you have a friend, and look back on your photos remembering your life is a movie.

I was drawn to Kalin’s style of photography. My husband and I were hoping to have more of a simple wedding, and wanted the pictures to feel real and not posed. When I saw her work online I felt like she would capture exactly that, and she did! She was easy to work with, curious about who we are and how we met and what we wanted for our day. She was relaxed and friendly. We love our gallery of treasured moments and would recommend Kalin if you’re in the market for the same authentic type of documentation of your day!
