We had Ra as our photographer for our wedding and it was definitely a solid decision. It was a small wedding on the beach, very personal, it was just me, my wife and 10 of our closest family members. He made sure that no good shots were missed, he had a lot of ideas on what kind of poses and did a great job directing us, all while managing to work around people. The pictures were nothing short of amazing. Thanks again Ra!!

My husband and I have used Ivory Film Co. for so many different occasions and could never brag on Kayley enough. We have never been disappointed with any of her work.

We can’t say enough good things about these photographers. From the start, they took time to really understand our vision, so by the wedding day, they knew exactly what we were looking for. During the formal portraits, they were patient, organized, and focused—no stress or confusion at all. And for the creative shots, they brought an amazing blend of skill and relaxed energy that made the whole experience feel fun rather than posed. The adventure day was an absolute highlight. It was such a unique addition to our package, and they guided us with ease, making every moment feel natural and exciting. The turnaround on the photos was just right—not too long, not rushed—and the final images turned out stunning. We also loved that they included so many pictures; it really felt like we got the full story of our big day. If you’re after a pair of photographers who balance professionalism with a laid-back vibe, these two are a perfect match. Their talent, calm demeanor, and genuine enthusiasm truly made our wedding memories shine.

Anna is an amazing photographer that I’ve worked with twice now. I first met her to do my college graduation photos. She was such a joy to meet, gave great recommendations for picture locations and was so helpful with directing poses during the session. A year later, I reached out for her to do my engagement pictures! She was wonderful with the whole process - from helping us select our outfits to, again, suggesting locations we never would have thought of. Our last meeting was a pretty hot, bug filled day, but Anna powered through with us and our pictures are gorgeous. We received them back in about 3 weeks and I couldn't be any happier with them! I am so excited to book her next for our wedding! Anna thank you for everything!

No trends, no awkward poses. Just love, laughter and emotion.  While photographs are one of the few things you walk away from your wedding with, they aren’t the sole purpose of your event. You are there to get married, see your people, and celebrate this moment in your life. The photographs come far after that. This day is all about your love for each other. However you naturally stand together, embrace each other, whether you visit people on different sides of the room or hold hands all day, whatever story you tell on your wedding day is going to be preserved as such. Weddings are just love stories wrapped up into one day.

Taylor was amazing. So professional and fun. She was amazing at directing my now husband and I on what poses and things to do in photos.

Hi! I'm Katie with Lone Peak Photography, and I provide elopement and wedding photography for couples who want the most out of their day. A timeless, authentic, and in-the-moment approach to my photography style helps me capture special moments perfectly. In the least cliché way possible, photographing couples is more than a job to me, so I put all of my skill, creativity, and love into my work. I believe your wedding photos are an artistic representation of your relationship and what makes your love unique to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t recommend Lone Peak Photography aka Katie more – I’ve told everyone I can, in every state, how amazing she is and her quality photography. From the moment I first spoke to her I knew she cared. I didn’t have family support to plan my wedding so Katie, a total stranger at the time, stepped in and helped me plan the wedding of my dreams. She was a constant support, easy to communicate with, flexible and helped lift my spirits when the wedding stress was getting to me. She took the time to get to know me and knowing someone understood my vision calmed my nerves. She was mindful of our tight budget and made a plan to capture our key moments. She has a talent for being both professional and genuine. I felt taken care of, especially on our wedding day when things always seem to be hectic and our timeline got a bit wonky. I knew I was in good hands and Katie directed everyone with confidence. She really knows how to capture the real emotion of the day, capturing gorgeous candids and ‘posed’ photos that really feel natural. One of my favorites was when she had us look into a loved one’s eyes- that look you share between you is so special and really shines with Katie’s photography. She wasn’t afraid to get silly with us which made things even more fun. She truly has an artist’s eye, even with the ‘little touches’ photos I couldn’t stop looking at them. I'm not someone who views themselves as beautiful and she made me feel so beautiful. She listened when I talked about insecurities and a favored side for photos. I thought I would have a few I liked of myself but I loved them all! She also wasn’t afraid to take a few editing requests which I appreciated immensely. The quality of her photos is unmatched. I enjoy that it’s really me, crisp beautiful colors like real life in HD without over done filters or unneeded editing. Lighting and scene framing really highlighted the beauty of the day and the happiness of the subjects. Just when the high of the actual wedding started to fade, Katie had sneak peaks ready the next day! I couldn’t believe it, it really brightened our day and calmed any anxiety that I wouldn’t be ‘photogenic’. She’s also great with animals – we incorporated our pets in our day and they are some of the best photos I’ve ever seen of our furry boys and you can see our love for them. I will for sure be working with Katie again, there are so many things I want to do. Family portraits, anniversary, more silly photos, I can’t wait. You won’t regret choosing Katie for any special day! :)

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

Faith is one of the most intentional people I’ve met — she was there every step of the way during wedding planning to support us and provided so much comfort and overall good vibes on the day of! I felt so at ease the entire wedding day, and I credit that to our incredible vendor team, Faith and her team included. I received so many sneak peek pics just under a week after my wedding (a few I got almost immediately!!), and it was amazing to be able to relive those moments already and share them with friends and family. Seeing how she captured these moments, big and small, makes me SO excited to see the final gallery!!! Her editing style is simply gorgeous — it was the main reason I reached out to her initially — but she’s also just a wonderful friend and human. When you already feel like you know someone, it makes it so much easier to be your authentic selves in front of the camera, and for that to shine through in photos. We both have so much love for Faith and are forever grateful she was there to document the beginning of the newest chapter of our love story

Hiba removed any stress I had about photos as a nervous bride who did not feel confident or comfortable being in front of a camera all day. She spent time getting to know us and made sure we were able to capture amazing, memorable photos, without losing sight of the actual point of the day and party we were there to enjoy. Multiple times she seamlessly adapted our shot plan on-the-fly to let us have more time to be with guests or have a moment to ourselves when she sensed we needed it. ALSO she was a baby whisperer with our flower girl and turned frowns into smiles and I'm still not sure how she did that. Highly recommend Hiba!

I love capturing the unseen, messy, and perfectly imperfect photos that you never even knew you wanted. I live for those emotive, raw, storytelling moments. I take a documentary approach to my work with a little bit of editorial; My style is candid and my focus is authentic connection through my images. If I were to describe my style; VIBRANT | RICH | BOLD+COLORFUL.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

I've been a wedding photographer for 11+ years I get to work with many down-to-earth and spontaneous couples. The carefree couples that aren’t afraid of rainy portraits, laughing until it hurts or tossing their shoes to run in the waves. When we work together my desire is that I’m not just your photographer but more like an addition to your bridal party. I spend a lot of time helping with your dress, making sure your hair stays mostly intact, holding your phone or make up in my bag and talking to your best friend about your craziest story.

I could not recommend Joy enough. She was professional, personal, and highly relational. My family bonded with her so well and people are still raging about the pictures!!

Casey was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our first conversation, she was responsive, asked thoughtful questions to understand what we envisioned, and clearly explained what her packages offered. Casey made us feel at ease through a process that can be stressful. On the wedding day, she blended seamlessly to capture candid moments while also efficiently directing some posed family photos. The end result told the story of our wedding beautifully through clean, visually striking images that we will treasure. The quality of Casey's work far exceeded our expectations for what we paid. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any couple looking for a talented photographer who will capture the essence of your special day.

I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid. My mom was a wedding photographer also. I spend my days taking photos because it inspires me and fills me with joy. To me, there is nothing better than capturing a beautiful moment. I have photographed weddings all over the US TX, NY and the Hudson Valley, the East Coast, as well as in Europe, the Caribbean, & Hawaii. A few more things about me… I love the ocean, traveling, exploring, hiking, dancing, the change of seasons, the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, walking without a destination, that few minutes of magical golden light before the sun sets, life… and telling stories with photographs.

You need to book Kim whether it be for an event or photoshoot because you will not be disappointed!!! I recently got married at Windham Manor and was only looking for photographers who have photographed there. I found Kim since she was one of the photographers tagged on the venue’s instagram page. Kim was very responsive from the beginning and although i was still a year and a half away from my wedding, we scheduled a zoom call and started planning immediately. The call was very productive as she helped me generate a timeline super early in the game that helped me start planning and getting everything in order with my other vendors. She also showed me photos she had already taken at the venue which were stunning and exactly what we envisioned. Come to the big day, Kim was there early to set up and was ready to go immediately. She let me know her plan along the way and made sure that we were sticking to the timeline and had no problem being able to quickly adjust to things that were not under our control. Either way, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her, including helping me button my extremely difficult dress!! She honestly acted like a friend and was there for us the entire night while also being able to capture everything we wanted. I knew the photos were going to be amazing but she totally exceeded our expectations. She sent some teasers the day after and we were completely blown away by the colors, angles, and backdrops. You can tell that she put so much time into each photo because every single one is stunning. Not to mention, she took soooo many photos and really captured everything from start to finish. We are so grateful to have so many pictures that we can have for a lifetime. Everyone I have shared the photos with have said the same exact thing I worked with a few photographers in my life and I have to say that Kim was the best. Her talent and professionalism is unmatched. I seriously hope we can work with her again one day!!

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! :)

I fell in love with photography about 15 years ago when I started travelling the world. I was always coming back home and showing my family and friends pictures that I'd taken while away from home. I used to have multiple scrapbooks with photos and small stories attached to them. My heart fell in love with photojournalism. Telling someone's story through photos is my favorite thing to do. And when it comes to weddings, I prefer to photograph everything from the very beginning all the way to the end of the day. To capture all the small details of your day and all the smiles.

My partner and I had been searching for a good photographer for a while until we found Daria. We both wanted to have something romantic yet light-hearted, and Daria helped us a lot with choosing the correct positions and was just all around very easy to work with. She also offered an engagement photoshoot prior to our wedding, which was a great bonus.

I truly found a love for storytelling once I got into weddings. Weddings are these multifaceted microcosms of stories and relationships that continue to keep me fascinated and excited about capturing them. I find that my style leans towards an editorial, documentary storytelling side, with hints of sophisticated moody & edgy. You feel the emotions of the moment when looking back on your photos I have captured just for you.

Jess took our HUGE family photo shoot and handled all of us with ease and made literally and truly photos to treasure. We did a family photo shoot for our parents 50th wedding anniversary October of 2023. Our first family photos in 17’ish years. She has such a particular eye for making a large group feel and look so close in photos (which is hard with 6 kids spouses and kiddos and our gramma who was 95 at the time (almost 96 now). She made each pose, move, placement fun and kept the kiddos (and pup) into it. She gave such professionalism and love into everything she did with us that day. She was as much a part of our family as anyone could be handling all of us un photogenic turkeys. If you choose anyone for your independent, business, family, engagement/wedding or otherwise photos you should definitely choose Jess 3
