Kelly Loss Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Carlsbad, CA for additional fees

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Kelly was our wedding photographer and we couldn’t recommend her enough! She perfectly captured our wedding in her photos, and we really feel like we relive the day every time we look at them. She helped us think through what we wanted our photos to reflect, which made them all the more meaningful to us because they are true to our relationship. Her photography style is timeless, lively, and approachable. Kelly’s kind and down to earth nature really stands out in an otherwise daunting wedding industry.

My name is Stephanie. Myself and my Husband Steve are Fireside Sparrow Photography. We lead with intention to create a gallery that is artfully authentic to your day because your wedding is unique and should reflect who you are. We do NOT offer video. We are boutique photographers that are for the clients and couples that value photography but also value being present in their day. Your wedding is not a day of photos, we come to take photos of your day. Every package is custom to each client as your experience with us is exclusive to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.

She not only produced the most amazing photos, but she helped us throughout the entire wedding planning process.

All of the advice she gave from her wedding experience was such a big help. Victoria did an amazing job rallying the troops for photos calmly and professionally.

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

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!

Kim-Trang Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Carlsbad, CA for additional fees

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim was one of the first vendors that my husband and I booked. As soon as we had our introductory call with her, we were hooked! Like many other couples, it was our first time being photographed and we wanted to find someone that would make us feel as comfortable as possible. Kim was warm, genuine and patient with us. She knew exactly what to do and how to get us to open up in front of the camera. Due to the pandemic, when we had to postpone our original wedding date, Kim was extremely accommodating and understanding. And as a stressed out couple whose plans were constantly changing, she was so helpful in offering solutions and suggestions for us. We are forever grateful to Kim for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. Although we didn’t hire a videographer, the photos itself told the whole story of our day. Clicking through the pictures, it felt like we were watching a movie. We found so many moments that we didn’t even realize she caught. She happened to be in the right place at the right time. And her photography style was exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t want too many posed photos and wanted something timeless. She allowed us to focus on each other and our photos reflected our honest emotions. She is truly authentic and forms wonderful connections with all of her couples. Kim is more than just a wedding photographer and we would highly recommend her to everyone.

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I live in Oregon with my two cats Clara & Leonardo and about a hundred tropical plants 😆🪴 I love exploring the Pacific Northwest, but I’ve also been able to travel throughout the states and overseas. I’m a huge national parks nerd, a sci-fi enthusiast, and a vintage collector with a serious thrifting addiction.

Working with Naomi from Northwest Hearts Photography was a pleasure. She has a creative eye and took the time to get to know us as a couple. She was able to beautifully captured the emotion in our engagement photos and was willing to travel to our favorite spot on the coast. Unfortunately a last minute family emergency prevented her from shooting our wedding day. However, Naomi communicated with us promptly and had arranged for a capable backup photographer to step in, which helped ensure our special day went smoothly. While we were disappointed not to have Naomi herself there, we appreciated her professionalism and care in making sure we were taken care of. We'd recommend Naomi for her creativity, flexibility and dedication to her clients.

Erin and Chris are the photography power couple. They did my engagement, wedding and more recently family photos. Beautiful, artistic, classic, fun- they have such an eye for getting the right angle, getting sun shining just right in the lens- they seriously have a gift for creating beautiful photos. Some of my other friends have used them too and the end quality is too notch. Just a few weeks ago a friend of mine (and one of my bridesmaids) was telling someone else about how beautiful my wedding pics were and she asked me to pull up the photos so I could show this person… It stood out in her mind even years after my wedding. Not only do you get a great product but Erin and Chris are just fun to be around too. They bring great energy and creativity to your event

Awarded Best of Zola
Douglas was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding on 08/17/24. Our original wedding photographer cancelled two weeks before our wedding, and a friend recommended we reach out to Doug. He was thankfully available and from the moment we reached out, he was so easy to communicate with - always quick to respond, extremely accommodating, and so easy-going. His work has been absolutely beautiful, he has an amazing understanding of light, composition, and framing with a lot of experience working with outdoor conditions that truly captured the essence of our special day. Doug fit right in with our wedding - he showed up early, stayed late, and somehow (while just following the standard schedule of the day) managed to get the most incredible true lighting and color in *all* of our photos - everything feels exactly like the day itself felt. We couldn't be happier with the results and would without a doubt recommend Douglas R Hall Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

CONGRATULATIONS! You just got engaged! :o I'm a firm believer in weddings being a blast, so I do what I can to make sure that your time spent with me is fun, active, natural, and feels like YOU! I'm also a firm believer in doing my part in making your wedding planning simpler for you, because let's face it wedding planning can be a bit overwhelming especially in the beginning. Also, weddings are stupid expensive and the moment you add the word "wedding" to anything the price jumps like 5x which is NOT COOL, and doesn't set couples up for success. So I try to keep my prices low. If you need help paying let me know!

Along with adoring weddings, I'm a serious hockey fan, with silver hair, and a terribly awkward smile. When I’m not photographing people, I love photographing Lego Minifigs on location, Darth Vader being a favorite (and personal hero) but I like expanding my collection of character portraits.

In my personal time I work closely with a local dog rescue, as a foster home and photographer, helping find their furever homes.

Based in the heart of Nashville and journeying with couples worldwide full-time since 2018, I specialize in crafting timeless, low-stress, editorial images and elevated, audio-centric cinematic wedding films. For the free-spirited and the adventurous, for the lovers of art and bold style, your dream wedding memories await. Everyone deserves to have their wedding captured with care, creativity, and kindness. I can't wait to create an amazing experience for you and your partner.

TLDR: she is talented, professional & kind very helpful as someone with limited mobility. Tessa & her team photographed & recorded my wedding last weekend, and they were a dream to work with. I am chronically ill & so I knew on my wedding day I could not be running around to different locations for photos, and Tessa was extremely mindful of that fact & made sure to work within the parameters of what was doable for me. I was worried my limited mobility would mean my photos would be a little boring, but she's already sent a handful of pictures over for a sneak peek & they are GORGEOUS. Tessa is a true professional but also someone who clearly loves what she does, which I think really shows in the quality of her work. Could not be more glad to have had her & her team document my special day! :)

Ashly is not only the kindest human, but also one of the most creative and well-sought-after photographers I’ve had the opportunity of working with. My husband and I used to model for photographers and had to have worked with close to a dozen who specialize in couples, engagement, and weddings. Ashly is who we found to have the most intimate, eye-catching work with the most naturally beautiful looking editing style. SHE is who we chose as our wedding photographer. That was almost 3 years ago and to this day, we’d pick her over and over again. So much so, that when we moved out of state, we flew her across the country so we could take family photos with her after we had our daughter. I will forever recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer and forever be grateful to her for capturing my life memories in such a beautiful manner so I can cherish them forever.

I’m McKenzie, a photographer who embraces my couples who desire physical visual memories of their connection at any level, so you can have the stages of your relationship captured to look back on and remember all of the little things that feel so big; the way they brush your hair out of your face or beam at how beautiful you are, or even the smallest thing like a hand on your thigh. All of these things help you feel exactly how you felt in that moment. If you are here, you desire a photo gallery that makes you feel something.

Kenzie is such a natural at photography! She immediately shows her personality which is amazing & made us feel so comfortable! She also is such a versatile photographer that we can use for our family pictures, baby pictures and everything in between! Highly recommended KNZ!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kiera! She has been our go-to photographer for all of life’s special moments—our wedding, maternity, newborn photos, and family portraits. Kiera is incredibly understanding, patient, and accommodating. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she truly goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are happy. I just got married this past weekend and spent over seven hours with Kiera. Not only did she capture breathtaking photos, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly and put me at ease as a bride, which was invaluable! Her calming presence, friendly demeanor, and professionalism made everything feel effortless. One of the standout features of working with Kiera is the convenience of her online album. After each session, we get quick access to our photos, where we can easily view them and select our favorites. This allows us to have full control over the final selections, ensuring that we get the exact photos we want to have edited. I highly recommend Kiera to all my family and friends. Whether you’re in New Mexico or the surrounding areas, Kiera is the photographer you want. She even travels out of state! We are so grateful to have her and will continue trusting her with all our photography needs.

A former wedding planner turned photographer, my eye for details comes second only to my heart for authentic moments of joy. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, it is my honor and my passion to create timeless imagery to tell your story. My mission is to preserve the memories of your wedding in the most extraordinary way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Leslie is the best! She radiates sweetness and so beautifully captured our big day. She genuinely listens in each meeting, and is so easy to talk to. The relationship that she creates is one that makes the wedding so enjoyable— and you get the vision you want because she remembers what you wanted! We wanted photos that were light, airy, and timeless— her touch is exactly that. I can’t stop posting the photos and choosing which ones to post has been hard because I love them all!! You will not regret choosing Leslie for your big day- you can feel the love and energy through the photos. She also offers incredible print options and we got our favorite photo in a stunning acrylic!! Overall, pictures are one of the biggest parts of a wedding and she delivered on every front. She created a schedule that was perfect for the flow of the wedding, she could get people where they needed to be, she captured moments that I missed during the day (and I love to look back on now), and of course all the important moments!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. 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.

I am based out of Connecticut + New England but also travel for destination weddings. I am passionate about creating long lasting memories with my clients. I love to travel (15+ countries and counting!), discover new places and meet new people. Fun fact: I'm a french citizen that moved to the United States in 2016.

From the beginning, we were drawn to Ben's photography style. Once meeting him, the process was even better than we could have hoped for. Ben traveled the furthest he'd ever traveled for a wedding for us! He was incredibly friendly, kind, and fun to talk/work with. On our big day, Ben was relaxed and calm even when things seemed to get crazy, He listened to exactly what we wanted and found the best stops for pictures and our private vows. I HIGHLY recommend him for any event. Ben and his photography are amazing!!

From start to finish Katy with Klein Photography helped to make the day run smooth and give us the photos of an event we will never forget. She did photos from getting ready (she even helped the bride with her makeup because she was melting), climbed up on tables, benches, playground equipment anything to get the shot. I was one of two bridesmaids in this wedding and she worked with bride on shot list, schedule, and helped keep and wrangle the wedding party to make it all happen! Very profession, kind, and fun! Highly recommend, she truly went above and beyond, and the final product was amazing! As sister of the groom, I was very protective of that day for my little brother and his beautiful bride!
