We can’t wait to connect and help tell your love story! Let’s chat!

We chose to have Maria shoot our wedding because I really liked the "natural light" look of her photos and because of her affordable pricing. In our pre-wedding communication, Maria was such a pleasure to work with. She was always very responsive to texts and emails and was always very polite, professional, and personable. On the day of the wedding, she wasn't feeling well, but she powered through like a champ and took amazing photos! We love looking back through the photos and are excited to get them printed and chose one to hang in our home :)

Hi there! I’m Sara, the creative force behind Iris Rose. As a child, I loved to create - it was my favorite thing. Through years of navigating life’s challenges, I drifted away from my creative roots. In 2020, I picked up a camera and photography brought me back to that creative space, allowing me to capture something both beautiful and meaningful and I fell in love. When I’m being creative, I feel like my best self.

Sara did both my engagement and boudoir shoots and made my vision come to life even better than I could have imagined! Absolutely OBSESSED with her work - I love how she captures the moment with an artistic eye that brings the photo to life with elegance. Of course she is incredible to work with and really good at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. BOOK HER!

As a photographer, I am constantly thinking of new ways to create art. Everywhere I go I am always studying light. It completely consumes my thinking, and I love it! I love using natural light . Every photo shoot is unique and I like to bring that uniqueness out every time. I want you to see how I see you! Moments pass by so quickly and cannot be replaced. Not only do I enjoy shooting as a photojournalist, I also love the look of a classic portrait. I feel a mix of traditional and non-traditional is the best way for me to capture a wedding. I want to work with people who hire me as an artist, who appreciate and trust my perspective.

Our experience with JW Photography was excellent. Professional, quality product, competitive price. More than that, John took care of us on our big day. When it began raining unexpectedly, he assured us that the lighting was perfect for the pre-wedding shots and he was right. And his cool and collected (not to mention experienced) presence helped us keep our heads on a level even when non-photo related parts of the event were changed unexpectedly. We got a great photographer, awesome photos, and service beyond the our expectations.

Hi I'm Joanna! I'm married with three children and have been a photographer since 2020. I do a variety of shoots (family photos, maternity, engagements, newborn, etc.)- but have found I love doing sessions and events where there's a gaggle of people all celebrating an event or union together. Weddings are such a joy to be a part of!

Joanna is the best wedding photographer I had met. We not only used her for our wedding but we also used her for our family photos and engagement photos. She is professional yet feels like family. She has the perfect posing ideas and she truly catches the perfect moment. We won’t go with any other photographer. Her wedding package included our engagement photos as well and she was reasonably priced.

Honestly, we'll feel like life-long friends by the end of your wedding day, and knowing I get to provide you with timeless memories of your wedding day is what gets me out of bed in the morning… along with my two alarm clocks that are ages 7 and 4, of course. I'm all about capturing the emotions and details of your wedding day while helping you be fully present in the experience. And when it's all said and done, I'm happiest knowing you can relive every perfect moment as you flip through the pages of your beautifully designed heirloom album.

From planning meetings, taking the time to understand our important moments, learn our family, and capture the joy in every single photo taken, Alejandra found herself in the right place at the right time to snap a photo throughout every moment in the night. Our wedding guests and family, ourselves included, were in awe at how hard the duo worked. We can’t thank you enough for capturing our special day so beautifully. Your talent and professionalism made us feel at ease, and the photos are simply stunning. Each shot perfectly reflects the love and joy we felt.

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Candace did such an incredible job capturing our love for our engagement photos and our wedding day! She truly makes you feel comfortable so you can be yourself and let that shine through into the photos.

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

Maya Papaya Pictures was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding & engagement session. Her communication was prompt, and they truly listened to our wants and needs, responding quickly to any questions or concerns. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - it was of the highest caliber. On the day of our wedding, Maya & Courtney helped calm the nerves of the chaotic day and worked seamlessly with our two huge and intrusive families to capture beautiful photos. We could not be happier with the memories they helped create for us. We can not wait to use Maya for any photo necessities we might need!

Gemini Sun Creative is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer serving Northern California, NYC, Upstate NY & Philadelphia. Owner, Daniela Monzi, specializes in elopement and intimate wedding photography. With each couple she works with, she strives to show off the unique traits of their love story in every photo. Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I eloped last weekend at SF City Hall and just opened our sneak peek of Dani's coverage of the day... The photos are beautiful and so authentic to us as a couple. She did an incredible job and we are so happy that we were able to work with her. Throughout the process, Dani was very communicative and available to answer all of our questions. She also took the time to get to know each of us individually, our story as a couple, and our goals/hopes for the day which I think really contributed to her nailing the vibe we were going for. She helped us brainstorm how to get the most out of our 3-hour shoot time and we were able to get in an impressive amount of shots in two different locations without feeling rushed or stressed. Throughout the shoot, she did a great job balancing directing us with letting us just exist together, which resulted in really natural looking photos of us that don't have an overly-posed look. But she definitely got both of our good sides lol. She also handled a high-traffic wedding day at SF City Hall with grace-- there were lots of couples getting married at the same time and it took some coordinating to get the best shots, but she made it happen! Dani is warm, respectful and kind and brought exactly the kind of energy we needed to our wedding day! It goes without saying, but I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to commemorate their special day.

Aside from being an awesome human, Heather is a talented photographer. Don't know how to pose and feel super awkward in front of a camera like me? No worries, Heather's got you! She'll direct you on how to stand, how to put your hands, how your face should look, give you hot tips... all of it! She also has a sharp eye for beautiful landscapes. You're in good hands and will have cute photos, I promise. In addition to Heather, we were lucky enough to work with her videographer, Andrew, and another shooter from her team. The entire HCP team was so fun to work with you and will put you right at ease. I've gotten to do 3 shoots with Heather to date and am incredibly pleased with how our photos have come out. In fact, I haven't even gotten the final album for our wedding yet (just previews) and i'm STILL impressed! If you have the opportunity to work with this team, take it. I couldn't recommend them enough.

My name is Laura and I am bilingual (English/Spanish). I moved to Arizona in the beginning of 2022 from New Jersey. It has been bittersweet to redefine myself in a new state. One thing I absolutely refused to leave behind is my love for photography. I moved here with my husband for a change of speed. It has been such a beautiful change! Just like you, I too am in love with the views Arizona has to offer. I am a nontraditional wedding photographer, I am there for all the feels that come with your big day. The tears, the smiles, the laughs, the dancing... Moody, warm and candid photography. Photos to make you relive the moments later

Laura was amazing! From our first meeting we clicked really well. She was super easy to work with and handled the chaos throughout our wedding very well. We are absolutely obsessed with our photos and will be using her again for any of our future photography needs. She is extremely personable, well spoken, and understanding. Couldn't be more satisfied with our investment in her services.

Hi, I'm Ricky, owner and lead photographer. Wedding planning doesn't need to be stressful. And you don't have to do it alone. I GOT YOU! You want to enjoy your big day, so I make sure you have time for just the two of you alone and I try to get you back to your cocktail hour as soon as possible so you can enjoy your friends' company. More importantly, I promise through my mix of direction and “fly on the wall” style of photography, you will feel relaxed and excited in front of my lens. All I ask of my couples is to be open-minded, open-hearted, respectful, and unapologetically YOU!! Bottom line, be exactly who you are and I will do the rest.

We hired Ricky - Goodeye Photography - for both our engagement and wedding photos, and holy cow did he blow us away. Hiring him was easily the best decision we made. From start to finish, Ricky was an absolute joy to work with. His professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made every minute of planning and shooting a wonderful experience. I originally found Ricky on Instagram (@goodeye.photography) and after a quick scroll through his page, I instantly knew he was who we needed. Every photo in his portfolio had emotion and love in them. After finding his Instagram page, I reached out and he very quickly responded with all necessary information. He communicated clearly and quickly throughout this entire process which was very appreciated! I plan events professionally and half the time it’s like pulling teeth to even get a response from someone. Never once did Ricky have a delayed response or leave us with more questions than answers. My husband is what we’d call “camera shy” and was pretty anxious leading up to our engagement shoot as this was his first time getting professional photos done. And while Ricky always behaves in a very professional manner, he also is extremely personable, friendly, and frankly just straight up funny. We instantly connected with him and he made my husband feel so much more relaxed - heck, my husband even had FUN during the shoot which I didn’t think possible haha. It goes without saying that the engagement photos were absolutely stunning… each one better than the last. As the big day drew nearer, Ricky met with us regularly and assisted us in our agenda, timeline, and all these other small details you don’t even think about. On the day of our wedding, Ricky and his team went above and beyond to capture every moment. He has an incredible eye for detail and was able to capture the essence of our day beautifully. (Petition for him to change his name from Good Eye Photography to Incredible Eye Photography ;) After the ceremony was over and it was time for my new husband and I to sneak off during cocktail hour to take our photos, a lovely wedding guest managed to spill red wine all down my white dress. Before I could even flinch, Ricky immediately jumped in and said “Don’t worry, I can edit out these red stains in all the pictures.” One of the BEST parts of working with Ricky is also his quick turnaround time. I wanna say it was like 5 days after the wedding and Ricky had already turned around a handful of “sneak peak” photos - which is quite impressive considering how many other weddings he had booked after ours. And to no ones surprise - there wasn’t a hint of red wine stains in any of the pictures ) Our wedding photos are more than what we could have ever hoped for. I may be biased, but truly some of these pictures deserve to be hung in the Louvre. I cannot recommend Good Eye Photography enough (and on that note it’s worth mentioning that since our engagement photoshoot with Ricky, two of my other friends that were engaged have also hired him and his team for their weddings)! If you are looking for a talented and passionate photographer who will go the extra mile to make your special moments unforgettable and your planning process a breeze, then Ricky is the guy for you.

I am a firm believer that friendship comes from learning the weird and quirky about a person, and still wanting to hang out with them after. And, since you will literally spend more time with your photographer than most anyone else on your wedding day, I want to be friends. We NEED to be friends. Like, I’ll-probably-end-up-holding-your-dress-up-while-you-pee type friends. That’s practically BFF status. I’m not only in the business of capturing your epically rad and emotional moments, I am also in the business of making lasting friendships, both of which I’m really awesome at.

Dionne was amazing! Our photos turned out beautiful! I have no idea how we will choose which photos to frame!

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

Emma is so amazing! She was so easy to work with and they made me and my husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Because we eloped I had NO IDEA what I was doing or who to call, Emma made so many amazing recommendations! Her friend Haley is the most talented florist, (Petal Thyme), and assisted Emma with taking photos. They made such a great team and did a beautiful job, I could not be happier with how my photos turned out! She captured so much emotion and all the little moments. I cannot say enough good things about these ladies, they are so gifted, and kind, and most importantly very talented at what they do.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible work Ann did as our wedding photographer. Her talent, professionalism, and kindness truly made our day unforgettable. From our first meeting, it was clear that Ann was not only a skilled photographer but also a genuinely caring individual. Her warm demeanor and genuine interest in understanding our vision put us at ease, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. On our wedding day, Ann went above and beyond to capture every precious moment, from the intimate glances to the joyous celebrations. Her attention to detail and creativity resulted in stunning photographs that we will cherish for a lifetime. Moreover, her kindness and patience throughout the day did not go unnoticed. Ann was always there to offer reassurance and guidance, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. We cannot thank her enough for her exceptional work and the care you showed us throughout the entire journey. Her passion for your craft truly shines through in every image, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as our photographer.
