Emily and Dalton were an amazing pair to work with! They brought such good vibes to the day! Emily is so creative and had SO many ideas for pictures that I would have never thought of. She even helped my bridesmaids secure my veil right before walking down the aisle. She went above and beyond to make this day memorable.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We used Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. for our wedding and engagement photos, and they were amazing from start to finish. Their communication was clear, helpful, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was efficient, stunning, and highly personalized to our style. They sent us multiple photographer options to choose from, and we went with Sabatani, who captured every moment of our special day beautifully. OLAS also helped us create a detailed day-of timeline to ensure everything ran smoothly. We're thrilled with the photos and couldn't have asked for a better photography experience for our wedding.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story.

My partner and I hired Sean for our engagement photos and we were extremely impressed! He was super helpful in helping us pose and very skilled in the ways he used lighting to capture our best features. He captured really genuine moments with such skill. He also made sure the job was well done and he got all the photos that we could have wanted. We had a blast working with him! The photos are stunning and I genuinely can’t stop looking at them! My partner and I tend to feel awkward getting our picture taken but Sean created such a comfortable space for us. We would highly recommend booking Sean.

From start to finish, Carly and Kasey were absolutely amazing! We first met with Carly back in 2018 and booked her for our 2020 wedding. Because if COVID, we changed our date three times and Carly was incredibly flexible and accommodating during the whole process. Her availability calendar being right on her Instagram made it so easy to choose our new date (keeping Carly and Kasey as our photographers was our #1 priority when rescheduling). She quickly sent updated contracts and was just so kind and understanding. Our engagement photo session was fun and Carly made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Some of the images from that session will forever be my favorites of us. When it came time for the wedding, Carly was critical in helping me come up with a timeline. She knew our vision and offered suggestions and locations for pictures. On the actual wedding day, she and Kasey were amazing. We expected it to rain all day so they were super flexible about making last minute changes to the locations and timeline to accommodate the possible rain. The sneak peeks we’ve gotten so far have been perfection and I cannot wait to see the rest! Carly and Kasey are not just exceptionally talented photographers- they are good, kind people. They make you feel comfortable and like you’ve known them your whole life. I could not have imagined better people to know or to take our wedding photos.

Snowdrop Creative Co. was born from a dream. A dream that I could do the things that I LOVE, be present for my children and my partner, and create work that I am proud of. It sounds like what we all wish for, right? Well, it isn't always so simple as "I want this, so I'm doing it." I spent ten years in retail management. I spent long days away from my family, only to get home to them and be too tired to enjoy my time with them. My life was cold and dreary, and I knew something had to change. And so, Snowdrop was born. A place where I can create and love what I do. Capture memories and magic and joy in a single moment.

Alex photographed AND officiated our little last minute Vegas elopement and we had so much fun! She was incredibly creative and got some of the coolest shots. She even managed to capture those sweet little moments you didn’t even know you’d want photos of. She made the whole process easy, fun, STRESS FREE and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. The photos and videos turned out amazing!!! Thank you Alex!!!!

As most hopeless romantics do, I love love. I love the small, quiet moments as much as the grand gestures. It is a unique honor to be the one to document those details on a wedding day. I believe deeply that love is as close as we’ll ever get to magic.

You will not regret choosing Jennifer as your photographer. She did an absolutely incredible job capturing my surprise and every beautiful moment after. She had the teaser photos ready so quickly for us to be blown away by, and she was so communicative through the entire process. Her pictures are stunning and she was so fun to work with! We aren’t natural models by any means, but somehow she made us look like we’ve been in front of the camera for years. Cannot wait to work with her again for our wedding!!!

I found Kristi by chance by doing a searching for wedding photographers around Beaver County, PA. She was the second one that popped up, but the first one I actually got excited about. I loved the way her photos looked. A little more darker and moody than any other typical wedding photographer. I am still in love with everything she has done for me. From my engagement photos to my daughter’s 1st birthday pictures. Kristi becomes more than a photographer. She becomes a friend who genuinely cares about you and your family, whether you talk to her practically every week or every few months. It’s just meeting up with an old friend who happens to take ahhh-mazingly stunning photos.

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Receiving our wedding photos while helping plan the funeral was the greatest gift we could have ever gotten. At that moment, fully understanding just how fleeting life truly is, that started our love affair with wedding photography. We love how wedding photography does not have to be corny or grossly over staged. It can be candid, genuine, and provide amazing couples with images that they will cherish for a lifetime.

I cannot explain how amazing this husband and wife team are! Jillian and Ryan were an absolute dream to work with. Hands down our favorite vendors!!

All our photos are exactly how we pictured them in our minds and MORE! I am so thankful to her for making our lives so easy and being a guiding voice on our day to help any way she could.

We are a husband and wife photography and videography team and have been shooting weddings for over a decade strong. The name says it all… we’re just different. If you don’t want cookie cutter video and images… look no further.

As a wedding planner since 2005, I have long standing relationships with so many photographers and video teams whose work I truly admire. When choosing who to work with for my own wedding day, I went with my gut! I knew Jenn and Colin could make me laugh and tell me when I needed to relax... I knew Jenn could put our nine groomsmen in-line when we needed to get a shot... I knew she would take plenty of detail photos because I told her one hundred times how important it was to me... Most importantly I knew that both Jenn and Colin would put their whole heart and energy into documenting our two day celebration in a truly genuine way, ugly cries and all! Thank you for allowing us to be ourselves... For capturing all the moments we never want to forget ... Jenn, Colin and team you have given us a treasure of memories to keep and for that we are truly grateful!

Cat was the photographer for our elopement and it was an amazing experience. One thing everyone said at different points in the day was how comfortable Cat made us feel during the photoshoot. It was an incredibly hot day in the woods, and Cat was able to make us all laugh and have a fun time even while we were melting. She photographed both the ceremony itself and helped us do a photoshoot after, and the pictures turned out absolutely incredible. They are so creative and professional, and we would not have been able to pick a better photographer for our special day.

Hi :) I have a background in social work so am used to walking into all kinds of situations and interacting with all sorts of people. I now have my dream job as a wedding photographer where I get to capture people's very best moments!!! Not only do I love capturing those candid moments but I also enjoy guiding loved ones through interacting together to come up with more natural moments to capture actual good times! To help the day run as smoothly as possible we also send out a wedding photography survey going over times and shot details to make sure we are on the same page ahead of time, with wanted poses on this list as well.

So many times when I present a collection of images to a couple they'll find themselves overwhelmed with emotion. I've thought a lot about this and believe it's because so much happens so fast on a wedding day that your mind can only process a certain amount in the moment. When you see those authentic images that tell your story all of the information that your mind stored during your wedding is released. It's amazing how powerful images are. I am grateful to be able to give my couples photos that they'll treasure for life.

Joe photographed our wedding in 2017. He captured every special moment exactly how I remember them. His style is artful storytelling from beginning to end. When I look at our photos, they take me back to the day and bring on the same strong emotions. Joe also photographed our newborn at 2 weeks. He continued to amaze us with another set of beautiful memories. I highly recommend Joe on not only the exceptional work he does, but also the ease and happiness he brings along.

They are the sweetest folks to work with. We had always wanted a video package but could not find an affordable option. Billy and Miss Cheryl did BOTH! We got photos and videos for two days and they even live streamed our wedding to our family overseas. Billy's photos are insane gorgeous and Cheryl's video captured everything we had dreamed of. I highly recommend them to everyoone wanting a amazing wedding.

From booking them as our photographers to our wedding day, they have been great communicators and really understood our vision. They were very organized and made sure they had a photo list/inspiration pictures to make the day of photos as seamless as possible. They captured exactly what we wanted and were extremely easy to work with. You can really tell how passionate they are about their work. I wish I could relive this day and have the pleasure of working with them again!

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ishan and Preeti are incredible people and artists. So talented, creative, artistic, fun and affordable. No cheesy typical wedding photos here! Our pictures are one of a kind. For our engagement photos, Ishan and Preeti were willing to drive aroubd local towns and take photos at numerous locations that meant something special to us. They are so creative with light and texture and are daring to go anywhere. And then our wedding day..Oh My Goodness. I have never seen such beautiful photos. We got married in Montauk, NY and after our first look, we went out by the lighthouse and took photos over the bluffs. They are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!! We got married at a yacht club and we had mentioned to Ishan how we would love a photo on a big yacht. He again rose to the occasion. We found friendly boat owners who let us board their yacht and Ishan got photos of us opening champagne and drone photos of us lying on the bow. He thinks on his feet and comes up with awesome photos in any circumstance. Ishan Fotografi really captured the highlights of the wedding perfectly. The photos were available by the time we were back from our honeymoon. We just received our album, which is not only breathtaking, but really tells the story of the wedding day.
