Hello, my name is Julia, I am a wedding photographer with more than 8 years of experience in wedding photography. I appreciate being able to preserve a love that will grow over the years. I will be happy to capture a special moment on your special day. With pleasure and enthusiasm, I am always ready for new adventures & challenges.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julia is truly the BEST photographer out there and she makes everyone look SO GOOD!! We booked her for both our engagement session and our wedding because we loved her so much! She is so skillful at finding beautiful angles and working with natural lighting, and she was great at directing us with suggested poses that didn’t look forced or unnatural. She was also really easy to work with: we met up beforehand to communicate our vision and discuss the kinds of photographs that we wanted for the engagement session and we did that again for our wedding. On our wedding day Julia brought her husband Leo who is also a photographer to assist her and they came early in the morning to begin taking scenery photos, details, and other things while the rest of us got ready. She was there with us throughout the entire day all the way til the end of the evening and she went out with us to take some sunset photos in the middle of the reception, which turned out so beautifully! Finally, Julia was super prompt at sending us the final photographs, which I know she worked hard on because there were A LOT! We can tell that Julia truly enjoys what she does and really wants to get the best photos possible so she always goes above and beyond. I think the phenomenal photos that we’re sharing here can speak for themselves. She was such a joy to work with and we can’t wait to find some other excuse to hire her again!!

I started working as a photographer because I'm passionate about helping people showcase who they are and what they have to offer. I work to remove myself from the equation and let my clients take the spotlight. It's thrilling to jump into a session and come out on the other side having learned beautiful new things about a person. When behind the camera I'm coaching you ever step of the way - helping you feel comfortable enough to let your true self emerge.

Working with Michael Haller was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! He did such an incredible job capturing all the raw emotion and beautiful moments from our wedding day. He made the whole process super comfortable and fun and had so many creative ideas. Michael is extremely talented and worked diligently to get my husband and I our photos in a timely manner. First he did a mini sneak peak, then a larger sneak peak and then the full album. He did a fantastic job staying in communication to inform us when we would receive each batch of photos. His attention to detail and professionalism made working with him an incredible experience!

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

Whitt Photography and Film were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From our initial consultation to the day of the event, Hannah and Matt were incredibly hospitable, kind, and genuine in their communication. They were always on time and made sure to put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly outstanding - the photos and videos they captured were beautiful, exciting, and incredibly creative. Hannah and Matt were very intentional in the way they interacted with us and also made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We are thrilled with the final product and would highly recommend Whitt Photography and Film to any couple looking for a talented and professional photography team to capture their special day.

Kandid Art Photography

  • Offer

I’m Artur full-time wedding photographer behind the Kandid Arts. As a wedding photographer with roots in Europe and a heart in the United States, I bring a unique blend of cultural influences and experiences to my craft. Born and raised in Eastern Europe, I developed a passion for photography that has only grown stronger during my last few years in the United States. For the past 6 years, I have dedicated myself to the art of wedding photography, capturing the love and joy of couples on their special day.

Working with Kandid Art was overall a great experience! They showed up on time and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. Though the wedding ran a bit behind, they were flexible. The photos turned out beautiful, and they got creative with the locations given the cold, rainy weather. They even got some funny shots of the kids at the wedding that are some of my favorites! The video was also good, although I don't love that they had to use like stock music for the background (I guess it's because of copyright issues with other songs?). I wish they would have included audio of the vows rather than the cheers of the attendees, so make sure you ask them to do that if you want it! I do love that they provided us with all the raw video footage though, as some of the most special moments didn't make the highlight video. Due to the event running behind, the cost increased a bit (which I was asked about after the wedding) due to the 2 photographers needing to split up to cover the shots. I wish they had asked me or the Wedding Coordinator about that on the day of so we could understand better what was the issue, but it was a minor thing in terms of communication. Overall 8/10 rating and would recommend.

Awarded Best of Zola
I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

What can I possibly express with words alone about Abby Arnold and her team? Abby is an exceptional human being and professional. She feels simultaneously like an unknowable entity and a long time friend or family member. She makes her clients feel extremely comfortable while also being so well-organized and accommodating. She has excellent artistic direction. I barely had to do anything, and when I look at my photos I feel like I don't know myself. I have never looked so beautiful, I didn't know I could even take pictures like this! She and her team worked overtime to make all my dreams come true, and I will be forever grateful for their hard work and dedication. These photos of my family and friends, who are from all over the country, finally all together in one place, will be cherished for the rest of my life. I would hire Abby and her team a million zillion times over, and I think you should too. Give her the opportunity to read your late night emails with all your pinterest inspiration attached. Allow her to soothe your anxieties about not looking tall enough or not knowing how to pose. Watch in awe as she wrangles your unpredictable family members into one beautiful photo you will value for the rest of your days. She is amazingly talented and a great person to be around in general. I will be forever thankful!

From the moment we met them, they put us at ease with their warm and friendly demeanor, and we knew we were in good hands.

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

Lexi did a wonderful job capturing my husband and I’s wedding day! We couldn’t be more grateful for all the amazing photos she took for us. We will cherish them forever! Lexi is a very skilled photographer who pays close attention to detail. Her calm & caring personality was also very comforting for the both of us. Highly recommend L& L photography!

Awarded Best of Zola
It was love at first sight when I found Blooming Faith Photography on Zola! I was struck by the classic style of the portraits and natural air of those being photographed. It was exactly what I was looking for! Melissa was quick to respond to my inquiry and provided all the info I needed right off the bat. She is detailed and thorough in her correspondence and planning, which I appreciated since we only had 5 months to plan our wedding long distance. She offered an introductory Zoom consultation to discuss our vision for the photos so we could feel at ease leading up to the actual day. When the time came, Melissa was the consummate professional! We did a First Look shoot, and she lead the way completely, to avoid any awkward mishaps and to insure we got the moment captured on our video as well. All of our formal photos were posed beautifully and naturally, and she timed it all perfectly (which was great, because it was quite cold!) She’s also great with kids! Our flower girl and ring bearer had a great time doing photos. At both the ceremony and reception, Melissa didn’t miss a single moment yet remained respectful and discreet. Her experience and expertise is obvious! And the photos that we’ve seen so far have been absolutely gorgeous. Timeless and sophisticated while still capturing the joy from that day. And as a human being, we couldn’t have asked for a kinder soul to capture everything for us. Melissa’s warmth and care brought the whole experience to another level. My husband and I were blessed to have found Blooming Faith Photography!

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

While he’s got an extremely professional approach, we always felt like we were dealing with a friend. He know what we wanted and made great suggestions to complement our ideas. During the ceremony and reception he was really unobtrusive, but managed to totally capture the spirit of our wedding. We not only have a great wedding portrait of ourselves hanging on our wall — we have surrounded it with a wonderful selection of candid shots of friends and family.

My name is Dawcin Jones and I'm a traveling photographer specializing in weddings, elopements, couples, maternity, seniors, and boudoir. I travel all over the country (and the world!) to capture unscripted and candid moments. I offer timeless, true-to-color photography that you will love for decades to come. I love Taylor Swift, agriculture, and making people feel beautiful.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have always avoided pictures of any kind due to a plethora of insecurities, so when I got engaged that was truthfully my biggest worry, which seems so silly. When my fiancé and I did our first round of pictures with Dawcin we were awkward & I was convinced I would hate them. But she convinced me that we were the cutest couple she’d ever seen. She pulled me right out my funk and helped us, help her, create adorable pictures. I can’t wait to see how our wedding day photos come out. I’d recommend her to anyone any day!

Hi, I’m Angelica—a lifelong artist with a deep passion for storytelling. As a wedding photographer, I specialize in capturing candid, heartfelt moments that authentically reflect your personalities. My goal is to create a relaxed, intimate environment where you and your loved ones can be completely yourselves. Your wedding is a one-of-a-kind celebration of love, filled with joy, emotion, and connection. It’s my honor to document every happy, romantic, emotional, and even quirky moment that makes your love story uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Angelica captured our special day absolutely perfectly. We had hired her for our wedding that was supposed to happen in 2020 but had to be rescheduled for 3 years later due to the pandemic and through that entire time she stuck with us! She was communicative and responsive, and her shots were absolutely gorgeous. She managed to capture every single important moment of our celebration and the way she guides and corrals everyone into taking pictures that look good is nothing short of a miracle (trust me, I feel so awkward in front of the camera and I look incredible in all of my wedding shots.) If you need a photographer for your wedding, Angelica is 100% your girl.

Elopement & Wedding photographer in the beautiful Upstate NY. We love sophisticated, stylish and romantic vibes, as well as rustic and adventureful days. We travel throughout the northeast and the mountain ranges of the ADK. In addition to capturing the traditional wedding photos, luxury high-end wedding photography services often include a range of extra features, such as engagement photo shoots, bridal portraits, boudior and even aerial drone photography. These services can help to create a truly unique and personalized experience that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Amanda from Golden Heart Studios was the photographer for our wedding in August, 2023. Before the wedding day we discussed the schedule and the look we were going for in our photos and Amanda went above and beyond to give us what we were looking for. She was great with directing us, the wedding party, and family to pose for photos and really thought through where she would be at different parts of the ceremony to make sure that she got beautiful shots. She was especially good at getting the little kids to look at the camera. The editing of the photos was also exactly what we were looking for. My only regrets are that I didn't schedule more time and that I didn't have a more detailed schedule for my family when it came to photos. On the wedding day itself, it was a bit like herding cats. But Amanda was very helpful, cooperative, and creative and made it work anyway! The pictures looked great and she really captured the atmosphere of the ceremony and reception!

I grew up and reside in upstate NY. I always had a love for capturing life in its natural state, and turning those moments into memories that can be looked back on for many generations. I love to travel and shoot a variety of life’s experiences, especially elopements and micro weddings. I've been featured in many magazines over the years and specifically have been on the cover of several bridal magazines in the last two years.

My husband & I are not huge fans of getting photos taken. We both are pretty awkward with PDA and were nervous about this for our big day. I felt a bit stressed since I didn’t have anything prepared in my mind for our photography either. As soon as Toni arrived on site, all my worries disappeared! I could just feel her kind energy radiating as soon as she came into the room. She found her way to the bridal suite and immediately started her magic. Our favorite part about Toni was how she fit in naturally. It never felt awkward or rushed, and she made sure we were enjoying every moment. Our entire family loved her and everyone kept saying how great she did. She really prioritized family photos and helped make sure we got everyone in them. Definitely recommend booking Toni for your day. She really is the best and I’m so happy that I found a photographer that I will use for any big life event moving forward!!!

Sarah is an amazing person and photographer. She really worked with me and my husband to deliver amazing photo sessions and photos. She not only made us feel comfortable during our engagement session, she made us have fun. And during the planning sessions for the wedding Sarah was so easy to work with and plan with. At the wedding Sarah and her assistant really got all the best shots and angles. She was directing us and our party as needed and she joined us on the dance floor to get the most amazing shots. We can’t thank her enough for such an amazing wonderful experience.
