My husband and I got married 10 years ago at the courthouse. We did not partake in any of the traditional wedding festivities so we promised ourselves that on our ten year anniversary we would have the wedding we never had. On May 17th of this year, we did just that. Jim and Christy were an integral part to making our day more special than we could have imagined. They have been so attentive and communicative from the moment we chose them as our photography team. They work so beautifully together. In past weddings I have been in, the photos were a dreaded part for the wedding party, but Jim and Christy made our shoots fun, an experience! They provided us with a fully detailed timeline so we knew exactly what to expect. They captured every single special moment. We worked with a sweet day of coordinator at the venue, but it was really Christy who kept us on time and made the whole day seamless and perfect! If you are looking for highly professional, compassionate, and organized photographers, Jim and Christy are your team!

I love what I do and love a good party! I was born and raised in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I moved to the Desert Southwest in 2000 to escape the brutal winters. My family consists of 3 Great Danes and 2 adult children, who live in South Carolina and Texas (the kids not the dogs). I love hot fudge sundaes, prime rib (I can be bribed) and being in the outdoors. I retired from a "real job" as a flight Attendant for United Airlines after 20 years and started my passion in Photography.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Halcyon Echo 

5.0

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Cortaro, AZ

The greek myth from which the phrase “halcyon days” is derived, is one of great love ending in a time of joy and calm. A euphoric recollection of the past and an optimistic reverence for the future. Echo denotes a feeling of resonance and return. Because our memories and dreams are almost never linear-they are organic-abstracted from reality and, often, largely defined by touch, scent and, of course, sight. My hope is to create imagery that will reflect the deepest of fully felt emotion from this day, back to you. Working with analog & digital processes from Denver, Colorado.

Working with Karly and having her shoot my wedding was a wonderful experience! She was such a pleasure to work with and captured the most amazing candid photos of our special day.

I have always loved the outdoors. You can find me hiking mountain passes, rock climbing, planning another trip to Mexico, nose buried in some travel guides, looking up cheap flights to Australia, or off on some crazy 3 week long road trip to the Canadian Rockies with my cousins. I will help guide you through the entire process of planning an amazing experience. You can trust me with your wedding day dreams & will give you my all in planning out every little detail for your elopement.

Working with Malachi from the beginning was incredibly effortless and easy-going. From the moment we met him via zoom it was evident that he was the perfect fit to capture our special day – there was no need to search any further! Our elopement plan was for Arches National Park in October 2023, and once revealing that to Malachi we could see his professionalism, experience, and drive begin to kick in. He was knowledgeable about the area and was able to point us in the right direction, offering invaluable insights and helping us align our vision with the perfect locations. When we met in person on our big day, Malachi adapted seamlessly to our laid-back approach, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment while choreographing our movements without being pushy, or demanding. The day unfolded flawlessly and it was due to his calm demeanor, genuine personality, and unparalleled expertise with his craft (which you could tell he was serious and in love with). Endless compliments from our family and friends poured in raving about our magazine-worthy photographs. If you're looking for an elopement photographer and need someone who is kind, patient, professional, experienced, easy-going, and a cool dude, Malachi is 100% the right person for you.

Hi! I'm Alex, a wedding photographer based out of Milwaukee, WI! I've been a photographer since 2017 and have fallen absolutely in love with capturing love stories! When I'm not behind the camera, you can likely find me traveling (I'm in Arizona a lot), snuggled up at home with my pups, or trying local coffee shops!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Alex as our wedding photographer, and I can't say enough wonderful things about her! From the moment we first met her, she radiated warmth and professionalism. Alex's talent behind the camera is truly remarkable. She has a unique ability to capture the most candid and heartwarming moments, turning them into stunning works of art. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and every photo she took seemed to tell a story. On the day of the wedding, Alex was an absolute joy to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable and at ease, and her positive energy was infectious. She was able to effortlessly blend into the background, capturing all the intimate moments without ever feeling intrusive. Not only is Alex incredibly talented, but she is also incredibly dedicated to her craft. She went above and beyond to ensure that we got the most beautiful wedding photos. She scouted out the perfect locations, worked tirelessly to capture the best lighting, and was willing to travel to us to get the shots we dreamed of. The final photos exceeded our expectations in every way. They were breathtakingly beautiful and brought tears to our eyes as we relived our special day through Alex's lens. She managed to capture the love, joy, and emotion of the day in every shot, and for that, we are forever grateful. If you're looking for a wedding or engagement photographer who is not only talented but also a pleasure to work with, Alex is the one.

We are two high school sweethearts who fell in love with each other, got married, had kids and are living our best life! Our journey in professional photography began on our wedding day. We had a horrible experience with our photographer, but from that experience, we made it our mission to ensure that our clients have the best possible photography experience. As a husband and wife team, our passion for each other motivates us to capture the same passion of our clients while providing the best experience imaginable!

Wow, where do I begin with Cam & Larisa? They are hands down, the best photo/video duo. My review can simply end here. We got married in April 2023 in Sedona, AZ. Since we are from NJ, our correspondence with Cam & Larisa began via Instagram and continued through their website, email, and Zoom until our wedding day. They were so prepared with everything, including tons of stuff I didn’t think of throughout the process. They immediately understood the vision and took over the rest. I had no worries at all during the planning and wedding day and that’s greatly due to them. Cam & Larisa are truly, insanely, talented. I can’t stop looking at our photos and video and remembering these precious moments. They captured our love so beautifully. Larisa made sure to bring additional décor items that I forgot to get (i.e. “Bride” hanger, ring holder, etc.) and I really appreciated that attention to detail. She also ended up bustling my dress for me! THANK YOU! Cam’s sense of humor kept us laughing and smiling in every shot. As they are a married couple, it was beautiful to watch them work together and read each other with minimal communication. They just “get it”. Cam & Larisa sent us a lovely laser etched thumb drive with all our high res images and video (we purchased the 8 hour photo/video package and upgraded the movie to 10 minutes; received over 900 photos and a 10 minute movie). Honestly, we probably didn’t even need the thumb drive since all the content was available for download via their portal (which was soooo easy to use). They covered all the important parts of the days that I asked for, and then some. They also got specific shots I requested based on some Pinterest inspo I sent them in advance. We really can’t thank Cam & Larisa enough for being amazing people, professional, warm, down to earth, and spectacular photographer/videographer(s)!!

Hiiii, I’m Taylor! Wife to my best friend, Golden Retriever mom to our Beckham, and outdoor enthusiast. My business was created purely out of passion. I’ve always had a love for photography, art and design. I first picked up a camera in 2009 during a high school film class and haven’t stopped shooting since. My photography is inspired by nature’s beauty and life’s beautiful details. I have an infatuation with natural light, details & beautiful scenery. I strive to create light-filled, romantic & timeless imagery, from capturing all the small details to the raw emotional moments. This is my dream job and I’m thankful for it every day.

I honestly cannot thank Taylor enough. As a "COVID bride" many things about our wedding did not go as planned and there were plenty of emotions that came with that. However, when I received my GORGEOUS photos from Taylor, it meant the world to me to have something beautiful, over the top, and PERFECT during a time when so many things have taken unexpected turns. She was so professional on the day of, fast, knew all the "good angles", and made us feel so comfortable! I cannot say enough about her. Not to mention so flexible with the fast-paced change of plans leading up to the wedding day. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Shagari was a dream to work with. He made sure we were having fun and captured the full essence of our day. Communication was excellent before, during and after our wedding. We get compliments on our photos all the time. Would have another event so we could book him again!

Hi! I am so happy you are here. My name is Michelle but everyone calls me Shelly. I started photography in early 2022, inspiried and driven to capture intimate moments and love. My journey began with boudoir and captureing couples. I later ventured into weddings which I instantly fell in love! They are so intimate, filled with love and magic. I have the ability to capture intimacy from all angles: intimate portraiture, bridals, couples, and then most important day of all! Weddings and working with couples has brought me so much joy and I love nothing more that providing beautiful galleries filled with emotional and magical memories.

Shelly and I have worked together on several weddings and personal shoots. She is not only extremely talented but also kind, helpful, and such an asset to anyone's big day! She's always willing to lend a hand and go above and beyond for her clients and fellow photographers. Shelly knows how to make you feel beautiful in photos and has a wide range of ideas for any situation. Book her ASAP for your big day! You won't regret it.

True Visionaries that believe all love matters. We're Megan & Alec, A Midwest based Photo + Video duo ready to capture and tell your stories as we see them. We are lovers first and parents second, but both are equally as important. With those relationships as the foundation to our lives we understand more than anything the importance of a singular image or film. The tangible gift that we get to create with you and your loved ones is completely priceless and we hope that we can encapsulate emotions while holding space for you during our time together.

Beyond amazing. Megan & Alec are incredibly caring & talented visionaries. What they do the day of a wedding to ensure everything goes smoothly is way more than I could have ever expected. From video calls, to timeline creation, to helping with small details you would never even think. They are both super attentive & great listeners. We received a small preview the day after our wedding & are even more in awe of their work now than we were before. 10/10 in every way possible & I wouldn't hesitate to book them for any life event or photoshoot. What they are able to do together as a team is just truly out of this world & I am SO GRATEFUL they were the ones to capture our most memorable day yet.

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best. Choosing her was the best decision we made!

Thanks for stopping by! Im Kammie. A full-time photographer, mama, and wife currently based in sunny Arizona. Ive been shooting weddings since 2010! 11 years! wow. I absolutely love what I do! It all started as a hobby, but has developed into so much more than that. My happy place is behind the camera. I adore being able to connect with such amazing humans and to share such incredible and life changing moments with them. I'm a sucker for the real moments between two lovers. The candid stuff. If this sounds like you, I'm your girl.

Do not wait. BOOK KAMMIE ASAP! We had the absolute pleasure of having Kammie as our wedding photographer April 2023. I found her work in 2021 and booked her right away and I am so happy we did! Her work is consistently INCREDIBLE yet unique to every couple! She is also the kindest person and got every single shot whether we saw her shooting or not! Before departing she made sure we felt that we got every shot we wanted. She also shared a sneak peak the day after the wedding and delivered our gallery exactly 30 days post wedding! She is amazing at her craft and was so easy to work with. She has great relationships with videographers too! I cannot wait to work with her again soon to capture more of beautiful life moments!!

I’m Katie and weddings are my absolute favorite! Your wedding will be one of the best and most memorable days of your life and umm I love being a part of that! My goal is to capture you and your partner’s personalities and emotions on your special day. I want to have fun with you and be the fly on the wall when you both are just taking in all the bliss of the day!

I can’t recommend Katie enough!! From her skill to her creativity and direction, she captured our wedding day so perfectly and made it such a breeze and fun experience along the way. We’ve been lucky enough to have Katie photograph us a couple times throughout the years so it felt so special for her to shoot our wedding day. Our family and friends felt so comfortable in front of the camera with her direction and she always had great ideas and poses for everyone. We got our wedding party portraits done before the ceremony which freed up time after the ceremony to get family shots and our solo wedding portraits too. It didn’t feel like a chore or like it took anything away from the day, but added to it! Once the dinner and party started, she was right there in the crowd capturing so many funny and special moments. Seriously, cannot recommend her enough. And she will travel! 10/10

Tolman Media is a group of photographers, videographers, and editors doing what they love, dedicated to providing our clients with trendy yet timeless wedding imagery. We have teams all across the United States and have even expanded internationally. We provide quality media at an affordable price.

I LOVED working with Timeless Carolinas! From start to finish they were quick to respond and helped me with any questions. Timeless Carolinas offered everything that I wanted at a price that was in budget. I got the video and photography package and added on a full ceremony video and bridal portraits. The team helped me craft a wedding day timeline and was very knowledgeable about how long each task would take. I had frequent communication with the videographer and photographer so I felt confident working with them. The day of the bridal portraits and the wedding, the Timeless Carolinas team arrived early and was a pleasure to work with. They were great at directing and placing people for the pictures. They were helpful and we felt confident having our pictures taken. We received our photos and videos quicker than we were expecting. We were blown away at the beautiful memories that Timeless Carolinas captured for us. Well worth every penny, I’d recommend them to anyone. Thank you Timeless Carolinas for capturing our best day ever!

I really want you to have timeless images that your future generations can look back on and see your true love story. I don’t want to copy trends or make you feel awkward like you’re at your high school prom. My photo style is rooted in telling your love story in its most authentic and true-to-life form. It's a story that is true to life of all the emotions you felt on your big day and true to life to how you saw your day. It's vibrant in both emotion and in color. Let’s celebrate and make some epic images together because that’s the one thing that’s going to last forever.

The rating is only out of 5, but Matt is an infinity out of 5. Since our first meeting at a coffee shop to get to know each other, my husband and I knew we liked Matt. He’s sincere and serious about photography and making his clients happy. He is very attentive and good at following up. Initially when we were considering photographers, Matt made sure to check in with us to see if we were interested in booking him, but he was not pushy about it. Matt offered us a discount when booking with him as he thought the three of us would be a great fit, which only sweetened the deal. Before our engagement session, I told Matt I was worried about an allergic reaction I had (though my talented hair and makeup artist took care in covering most of it), and when my husband and I walked up to Matt, he told us how great we looked. During the session, Matt kept things lighthearted and really made my husband and me comfortable. We had never gotten professional photos taken together or in general, so we felt a little nervous/awkward being the focal point of the lens. That quickly faded away, and we had a fun time, which translated well in our photos. As we all left the session, I expressed some insecurities I had, and Matt (along with my husband) quickly reassured me. Matt’s policy is to send sneak peek photos within 48 hours, but because he is not only outstanding and talented (plus I think he wanted to make me feel better), he sent me one or two photos a few hours later! I could not believe it. My friends and I were obsessed and could not wait to see more. He sent the rest of the sneak peeks the next day and then the full engagement gallery a few weeks later. Every time he sent photos, Matt would send sweet, complimentary messages. We love every single photo! The day of the wedding, I got a little upset due to the stress and other circumstances, and Matt (and his second shooters) were all very sweet, telling me not to rub my tears so I didn’t smudge my makeup. They were extremely supportive and reassuring. Matt was super accommodating the day of the wedding (and throughout this whole process), and my friends and family/wedding guests liked him. As always, he was fun, energetic, and calming all at once. It was important to me and my mom to welcome professional photos with our guests if they wanted them, and Matt was accommodating with my requests and discussed when it would be best to capture these. We agreed on cocktail hour before magic hour/sunset photos. Unsurprisingly, Matt got us sneak peeks of our wedding photos THE NEXT MORNING after having left our wedding at 10 p.m. the night before. The sneak peeks he shared were outstanding, and it was amazing to see how beautifully he captured our day and love. With the help of my hair and makeup artist as well, Matt depicted me and my husband so well and true to ourselves; I’ve never looked or felt better and most like me in my life. He delivered our full wedding gallery about seven weeks later, and he apologized for being “late.” We weren’t concerned at all and were shocked because he gave us 1,023 photos, which was much more than we expected. We love every single photo, and our friends and family think all the photos are stunning. If you need a hype man, efficient professional, or supportive friend, book Matt. You won’t regret it. I’m eagerly looking forward to hiring Matt again for other photography needs in the future!
