I'm a wedding photographer based in Boise, Idaho.

An explorer at heart, my passion for adventure has taken me worldwide and there is more I can't wait to discover.

Katy made every step of the way extra special and fun. We are so thrilled with our engagement and wedding photos! She went above and beyond what we would have ever expected from a photographer-- from scouting multiple locations, being prepared for any type of weather, to even helping us come up with planning ideas for our special day! We would highly recommend Katy and we will be using her again for any of our photography needs.

  • Serves Des Moines, WA for additional fees

As you can tell, sometimes choosing your photographer can be an overwhelming process. There are so many things to consider when narrowing it down to your perfect match. Of course, style and price are the main two, however, some couples forget that your photographer is the one person who is with you the most on your wedding or event day. That is why we offer complementary sessions to all our couples so we get to work together and create a bond. Instead of just being "the photographer" at your event, our goal is to capture beautiful images from your day and leave you with an experience that enhances your memories.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From start to finish, Wedding Times Film was an absolute dream to work with. They have an incredible eye for capturing not just moments, but emotions—every smile, tear, and laugh was documented so beautifully. The photos were beyond stunning—timeless, elegant, and so full of life.

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Des Moines, WA for additional fees

HEY! My name is Jade! I am a follower of Jesus Christ and He gave me this passion for photography. I’ve grown up and lived in New Mexico my whole life. I am stoked to be surrounded by the desert, the Rio Grande river, and various mountain ranges. I literally get to drive through and roam around these beautiful God-given landscapes to inspire the work I create. I believe that it is important that YOU choose to work with me because of who I am. What makes me different from the handful of other photographers you are considering? I care. From the moment you contact me, I am praying for you. What I love about being a photographer is

Long story short- Jade cares about YOU and this will be completely evident in her work. You won’t regret hiring her to capture one of the sweetest moments of your life. Your photos will last as long as your marriage-forever! Hire a professional to ensure every sweet moment is remembered for years to come. HIRE JADE. Because Jade cares about each of her couples you will see her professionalism, support, and amazing work on the day of your wedding. She was key to keeping our wedding on schedule, capturing our sweet candid moments, handling a huge crowd and crazy schedule (that never goes as planned), AND getting us our flawless prints very quickly after. This is someone who works hard and is in the business to use her skills for others. I truly felt she went above what we asked because she knows how precious these wedding photos are. We initially chose Jade because we loved her work. Her photos aren’t over edited and she has a range of creative shots. She provides photos of everything, from sweet bride and groom shots that capture the couples personalities to the shots of the little details that make your day special. I cannot recommend Jade enough! She was FANTASTIC (and her husband too!! Yes- hire both! the dream team)

Hi! I'm Tiffany- PNW wedding photographer and storyteller for down to earth couples. I came to photography from journalism, with more than 10 years of crafting stories to my name. There is something so powerful about using words and images to explore issues and stories that matter, stories that might never be heard otherwise. We tell stories to understand what’s happening now and so future generations can access what we learned. Even though I'm no longer in the newsroom, that desire to tell stories still lives within me. It’s why I look at your love on your wedding day and see a story well worth telling and preserving.

Hi there, my name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the lead photographer and owner of "Jennifer Mary Photography". I specialize in lifestyle photography and portraits! I started this business almost a decade ago, as a Photography/Computer Digital Imagery student at Shepherd University (Go Rams!) with a dream to share the artistic joy with others. However, life seemed to have a different plan. I slowly moved into the corporate world and lost touch with my creative side. After lots of soul searching and a 7-year hiatus, I found my love for photography (again.

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!

Hi, I'm Alexx! I grew up in San Diego and went to school in Malibu to study media production & math (I know, weird combo). Since then, I've lived in both Point Loma in SD and in West LA, so I'm always popping around all of SoCal! I absolutely adore weddings for the love, celebration, joy, and romance, so I want to make sure those are your main feelings throughout the day! What that means is I will always remain a calm presence in the chaos to help keep you grounded, but also blend into the background to give you space to just experience your day!

I don't even know where to begin. Alexx was hands down the best photographer we could have asked for. From the start she was supper communicative and within a day of inquiry, we had set up a time to chat and get acquainted. She is incredibly professional, but still super personable! We had so much fun with her at our engagement shoot, and the photos were INCREDIBLE. Her style is so organic and she makes you feel very comfortable from the start. She gave us so many tips leading up to the wedding about what to have ready for her and at what time, while still being super flexible with us if we needed to adapt. Day of with her was a breeze, too! She lead us through all of our photos and we wrapped up family photos quickly enough thanks to her that we were able to spend more time with our guests/family before the reception which was amazing! She had our previews to us within a few days and we are OBSESSED with every photo!! We cannot wait to see the full gallery :) Thank you so much for everything, Alexx!!!

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!

At Eisley Images we are actively anti-racist by learning and unlearning our own biases and learned behavior. We are actively trying to make the wedding industry we are a part of more inclusive, kind, and part of the larger discussion at hand. As consumers ourselves, we deeply appreciate knowing WHO we are investing our money in. We want to be upfront and unapologetic about who we are, and what values we deeply believe in.

We reached out to Christy almost immediately after booking our venue (18 months before our wedding), and are so happy we did! We had a great engagement shoot - something we didn't think we needed/wanted but she convinced us that it was worth it and it was! When the pandemic hit, Christy was flexible and kind as we figured out how to change our wedding plans. We decided to have a super small, outdoor wedding at a family house with as many precautions and safety measures as possible and only 12 us total. Christy felt like a member of our family as she captured the most beautiful photos of our day! She was one of the only vendors on our wedding day and we are SO happy she was there with us! On top of Christy's awesomeness as a person, our photos are better than we ever could have imagined! We have the most beautiful photos to remember our intimidate wedding by and will cherish forever. Our family members who attended love them, too - and having such beautiful images to share with our friends and family who couldn't attend has been so great. Our wedding day was so much better than we could have imaged, and having Christy capture our day made it even better!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,250
  • Serves Des Moines, WA for additional fees

We're wedding & elopement photographers who have spent the last 15 years traveling all over the US for our couples! We're relocating to Las Vegas from Atlanta this year, and are so excited to spend more time doing what we love - making incredible images and giving a killer wedding day experience to each and every one of our clients. Whether you're planning an elaborate, traditional wedding day or an elopement in the desert, we're here for you. We're the photographers who will make you laugh, carry your flowers, make sure you hydrate, and will give you priceless photos you'll treasure forever.

I cannot recommend Lauren enough! My husband and I visited Death Valley NP a few years ago and could not have imagined we would get the opportunity to have a photo shoot there… Lauren made it possible for us. Aside from the fact that it was hot, there was limited places to stay, and no cell service, Lauren planned and executed this day flawlessly. She camped out the night before and even drove our videographer around the park with her. Lauren took the lead and really went out of her way. On top of all this, the photos she delivered were stunning. She’s an absolute gem of a photographer and person. We highly recommend Lauren for your next photo shoot!

Lauren Parr Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Des Moines, WA for additional fees

I specialize in lifestyle and wedding photography for those that value bold and charming imagery. I take a documentary, candid approach and my editing style showcases timeless, vibrant colors with a hint of mood. I have two dogs, I love to travel and spend time outdoors. I enjoy drinking kombucha and listening to 70s music. I'm an enneagram 3 and a sagittarius if that's more your thing.

If you want to be able to relive your wedding day, and feel the love and excitement all over again, Lauren Parr is a must as she truly captures the energy of the day! She encapsulates the pure emotions of every person. My husband and I have never felt photogenic, and are very critical when it comes to ourselves in photos. Lauren put us at ease immediately from our engagement photos, and was so fun to have around on the wedding day. Our photos showcase the beauty of our venue, and the beauty in me and my husband's genuine smiles enjoying each other and this special day. It's amazing at how Lauren and her assistant can be both all over the place capturing all the magic, and non existent at the same time. Some quick background on me - I spent almost 2 decades in the film industry, so I was very particular when choosing a photographer. I had FULL respect and trust for Lauren's craft and her eye. We have photos in our wedding album where people comment how they belong on the cover of a magazine. She simply is extraordinary. Please know that when you hire Lauren, you are not going to receive photos, you're going to receive ART commemorating your special day! If you can't tell, I can't recommend her enough!

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

After doing much research, I was blessed to stumble across Katie on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her work; her photos are rarely staged, all authentic, “in the moment” candid shots. On top of her amazing work she is the most kind hearted, down the earth person. Going to our engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect. We immediately felt comfortable with Katie and never felt awkward. We had to postpone due to COVID and Katie was so easy and accommodating! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, there truly isn’t a bad shot! I recommend Katie to every one and will continue to go to her in the future for any of my photography needs :)

When it came to what we wanted in photographers for our wedding day, Christiana and Daniel went above and beyond. They truly cared about what we asked for and are so fun to be around. They took our engagement photos as well and it was such a blast. It was during that session that I knew we had made the right choice. When we received our wedding photos, my husband, family, and I could not believe how beautiful they were and how much the Bultedaobs put into making sure every shot captured the spirit of our wedding. Our photos are such a treasure. Thankful doesn't even begin to cover what we feel for finding this amazing couple to be present on our big day. We look forward to seeing them again in the future when we want professional photos of our family.

Hey there friend! My name is Sunny Golden and I'm a wedding photographer based on Oahu, HI! I'm all about getting to know each other and making your photography experience not-so-intimidating! I'm not here to put you into some cookie-cutter, stiff poses. You are WAY too unique for that! I'm about letting you love each other the way you do best and encouraging genuine interaction. My goal is come alongside couples, listen to who they are and what's important to them. So I can then capture their special day in a way that that is meaningful to them. Not just generic and typical. I want this is be the very best for YOU!!!

Sunny was recommended to me by my Sister-in-Law after working with her to do maternity photos on Oahu. Sunny was warm and welcoming, she seemed like she really wanted to get to know me and my fiancé. She set up a Zoom call to chat with us and to learn about our love story so she could be sure to capture us in the way(s) in which were important to us. COVID cancelled our original wedding but Sunny was AMAZING. Not only did she work to reschedule with us, but she went above and beyond to let us know that she was there for us through all the stress. She even sent us a small care package to let us know she was thinking of us and cared about us! All of this care before we had even met her face to face!! As a worrier and an over planner Sunny helped me feel calm and confident leading up to the wedding day. Did I mention that Sunny is incredibly talented!?! In addition to her beautiful personality she took the most amazing photos that my husband and I will cherish forever. Neither one of us are used to being in front of the camera and she made us feel so comfortable. She had an awesome vision for our photos and took us to a spot that we had not even thought of. Her creativity is unmatched and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have Sunny on our wedding team!! <3

Bethany Wolf Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Des Moines, WA for additional fees

A true adventure junkie. As soon as I see a photo of a beautiful landscape, I'm ready to roll. I've traveled to 26 states, visited 14 National Parks, and have lived in 6 states! For 25 years of life, I say I'm doing pretty good with the whole 'experience' aspect. Along the way I've managed to accumulate 4 amazing pets. A Pitty, German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, and a REALLY cute cat. On a normal day, you can find me slumped in front of my computer, burying myself in my work (I'm obsessed okay) with some show playing in the background. I love cooking new recipes and feeding my loved ones (probably just as much as I love capturing your love).

I don't even know where to start! A few years back I found Bethany's photography page on Facebook, I loved her work so much that I have been following her since then. When the time came that I needed to plan for my own wedding this year, I did not think twice and reached out to her as soon as we got the final date of our wedding. At that time, I did not even know where the celebration would be or what theme/colors we will choose for our wedding. I booked her even before finding my own wedding dress! Trevor and I literally only had three months to prep for a whole wedding. I just knew in my heart that I had to book her first before anything else! She sent us a long questionnaire so that she can have an overview of who we are as a couple and to find out what we expect from her. This showed that she makes all her services very personal. The first time Trevor and I met her were during our Engagement shoot. That day was THE most stressful because there were thunderstorms, and our shoot was going to be outdoors. Bethany has been so responsive while monitoring the weather every hour and mind you- she had to travel from NC to VA that day and was very punctual. We ended up going for the shoot because the rain stopped, and it ended up PERFECT! Trevor and I never had the experience to have a professional photoshoot done before, but Bethany made it so easy for us. She gave us cues on what to do and she just captured raw emotions which accurately reflected Trevor and I’s relationship. It was very fun and natural- no awkward moments at all! Here’s the best part- She sent me the sneak peeks of our photoshoot right on the next day! I didn’t have to wait for so long to see some photos and those kept me patient while she worked on the rest of the photos for the weeks to come. The sixth week came, and she sent me all the photos and we were just so obsessed with them! I even had one printed out on a large canvas as our welcome sign for our big day! Bethany went ABOVE AND BEYOND and created a program for our wedding which was very helpful for our wedding planning. She wanted to make sure that everyone (videographer, DJ and MC) will be on board and all the activities will fit on the timeline. On our wedding day, we were running late because of hair and make-up and Bethany stayed calm and still took the best prep wedding photos. She captured everything from the church ceremony, outdoor photos during cocktail hour, and the whole reception. I made the perfect decision to book her for the whole 8 hours. It was well worth it. Since she specializes in outdoor/destination weddings, our indoor ceremony and reception photos still DID NOT disappoint. She captured our emotions as well as of our guests, details of the wedding, all activities, and the dance party. She is amazing at what she does, she loves capturing moments and it shows in her work! Even though she works alone, she was still able to capture EVERYTHING on our wedding day. It’s been a whole month since our big day and I still can't stop looking at our sneak peek photos! I am so excited to see the rest of the photos and we are very grateful that Bethany was the ONE we chose to capture our Best Day Ever. She deserves unlimited stars and I highly recommend her!

She is amazing with my toddler too, since he was 2 years old she has been Photographing our family and getting the best smiles from him! She will literally put on a 4 act play in order to get my toddler to smile at the camera, she's truly amazing!!! I don't know how she is able to get such perfect photos in such a short amount of time, I swear it's magic! She is so kind and fun to be around I look forward to seeing her every time we need photos! She's the best!!! I know so many Photographers in the area because I used to make photo props and I am familiar with all of their work, but Lunu Photography is my absolute favorite to work with, I can trust her to take the most timeless, classic, and magical photos! I wouldn't trust anyone else to capture our families precious memories! I highly recommend using Tatyana as your Photographer for EVERY occasion!
