From start to finish Katy with Klein Photography helped to make the day run smooth and give us the photos of an event we will never forget. She did photos from getting ready (she even helped the bride with her makeup because she was melting), climbed up on tables, benches, playground equipment anything to get the shot. I was one of two bridesmaids in this wedding and she worked with bride on shot list, schedule, and helped keep and wrangle the wedding party to make it all happen! Very profession, kind, and fun! Highly recommend, she truly went above and beyond, and the final product was amazing! As sister of the groom, I was very protective of that day for my little brother and his beautiful bride!

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

Awarded Best of Zola
You should stop scrolling through photographers because I'm here to tell you, Sarah is the one. She is extremely professional, talented, compassionate, creative, and can make absolutely every one of her clients feel understood and comfortable. She flew out to Washington to take our engagement photos at the Olympic National Park and the entire day was one of my favorite memories. Not to mention she sent me sneak peeks of the photos within a couple of hours - incredible editing skills and extremely fast service. I'm going to cherish these photos forever and we are SO excited to have her as our wedding photographer in June. Thank you for everything, Sarah!

Awarded Best of Zola
Definitely one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. We had Ann Marie do our engagement photos and we loved her from the start and loved how they came out. We were devastated when we found out she was already booked for our wedding date, but she got us set up with one of her associates Elena at a discounted rate. Even though she wasn't going to be there on our big day she still put in so much effort to help us decide the timeline and the shot list. She kept in contact with us the whole time and really made us feel confident about the big day. She will still be doing the editing in her style and we are absolutely thrilled with the sneak peek shots we've gotten so far! She even threw in an extra photographer for us for free which was incredibly kind of her, although unfortunately that photographer was sick on the day of the wedding so we still ended up with just one. But Elena was great and made us feel totally at ease and got every shot on the list. She kept everything running on time despite the timeline having been created for two photographers. Ann Marie and Elena were a dream team to work with and I can't say enough good things about them.

Nice to meet you! We are Marissa & JR! In a nutshell we are in love with photography, married to each other, over the moon for our dogs, and having an affair with coffee. It is so incredible that we get to do what we love, for other couples in love, together!

The best decision I made for my wedding day was hiring Marissa as our photographer! From the moment we met, Marissa’s warmth and kindness made us feel like we were in the best hands. She went above and beyond to understand our vision and made sure every detail we wanted was captured beautifully. On the big day, she was so professional yet fun, managing to blend in seamlessly with our guests while still directing us with such ease when needed. Her attention to detail is *unreal*—she captured everything from the softest look my husband gave me to the candid moments that I didn't even notice at the time but now cherish. What truly blew me away was her dedication. Marissa didn’t just show up for a job—she was fully present, sharing in our joy, calming our nerves, and even checking in on me throughout the day to make sure I was okay. It felt like having a dear friend by my side. When we got our photos back, I was *in tears* (happy ones!). Every image was a work of art, full of emotion and authenticity. Marissa’s artistry and professionalism are unmatched. She captured not just the moments but the *feeling* of our day in a way I didn’t even know was possible. Thank you, Marissa, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. You truly made our day perfect, and I can’t recommend you enough!

Hiya, I’m Alison! I’m a wedding photographer who aims to create legacy’s that combine the natural beauty of the scenery, the true and unique beauty of relationships and aid my couples by giving direction that brings out natural moments. I also aim to edit my photos in way that keeps the natural beauty and makes them timeless and not part of a trendy fad edit. I’ve been shooting weddings since 2013 and have been part of celebrations in 6 states and have seen it all!

We chose Alison to shoot our engagement, wedding and family photo's. We love all our photo's. It rained during our engagement session and she was willing to travel with us and go with the flow for our shoot, we didn't end up getting all that we needed because of the delay and she was more than willing to schedule another day to get the rest of our photos! She was so patient and worked so well with our son during our family photo's and our wedding photo's. Everyone at our wedding complimented how professional and sweet she was. I had multiple people ask for her info and book sessions with her afterwards!

Hello! We are a husband and wife company. We have covered over 1000 weddings in less than 5 years all across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. We love to travel so much that we keep our prices affordable- giving us the opportunity to cover all over the USA (no travel fees). Our most popular package is our Red Carpet which gives our clients up to 10 hours of photo and video coverage, 505+ edits, and 2 wedding videos (with the whole ceremony). Check out our FB or Youtube for HUNDREDS of weddings we shot in the past.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it! I would recommend 505 media to anyone!!

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.

Met Nicole while working at a wedding in February 2024. She was very kind to our staff and not in the way at all. She allowed everyone to enjoy the party without blocking views or being rude. Yet managed to do her job with a smile the whole time! She is very pleasant!

From ocean low to mountain high, my bags are packed and I’m on my way to capture your love story in the most beautiful place in the world.

Her enthusiasm and excitement for our special day was infectious and she made the planning process so much more joyful. Kait made me feel like she was a close friend who I could lean on without ever having met her! On the wedding day itself, her calm and flexible approach helped us feel at ease, and the resulting photos are simply beautiful, with great angles and lighting that made me feel beautiful and a camera shy groom shine. She got us sneak peaks that we LOVED and poured over with in less than 12 hours!

When my hair and makeup team was running late, LaDonna stepped in with her calming presence and expert experience to ensure I remained poised and picture-ready. And my husband, who is typically camera-shy, raved about how comfortable and at-ease Demetrius made him feel, resulting in some of the most genuine and joyful photos we've ever seen. We couldn't have asked for more from our photography team, and feel like absolute royalty looking back on our stunning wedding album.

Love knows no bounds. Every person is deserving of love and deserving of having it captured perfectly. I believe in equality. I believe in living simply and loving deeply. I believe that dogs are the best travel buddies and that plants make the world better and prettier. I believe that perfectly planned photos are awesome, but so is the candid photo of your 90 year old grandmother drinking whiskey with your friends. Your photos are about you, not me. I won't tell you what to do or how to live your best day. What I will tell you is where the best light is, what to expect during your wedding and always get your "good side."

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

I started my photography business having a passion for capturing pure emotions and real life moments. I love capturing the essence of people, love and the characteristics that define them both. Being able to visualize a bond between people and bring that to life through a photo is what I set out to do, no matter what moment I am capturing!

Ten Thirty Four photography was super easy to work with! We have worked with her for our engagement photos, collage graduation photos, another fun photo shoot downtown Kalamazoo and our Wedding! Every photo shoot we had done had cloudy weather, and Liz did an amazing job working with the lighting and everything to ensure our photos were super special for us! Liz was great and her photos are perfect! We cannot thank her enough! We highly recommend her!!!

There are many reasons couples choose not to have a “traditional” wedding, and the beauty is that you can make it anything you want it to be – and that’s also why I care so deeply about making sure every couple I work with knows that their day is important, beautiful, and deserves to be captured so you can look back on every detail. Hi! My name is Anna– I am an elopement and wedding photographer helping adventurous couples say “I do” on their own terms from coast to coast.

Anna is so sweet, caring, and a great communicator. As a wedding planner, it was great to work with her and she captured the beauty of the venue so well. The portraits and couple photos are stunning. Would definitely recommend her!

Every individual has a unique tale, and mine is quite the whirlwind! When I was 5, my family left our Michigan home and has been on the move ever since. After living across the globe, I now proudly call Oregon my home sweet home with my wonderful husband, our sweet daughter, and our White German Shepherd!

The idea of spreading love near and far, and passing on that love through generations puts a smile on my face every day.

It is very obvious that Lauren is so passionate about what she does. My husband feels awkward in front of the camera but she did a great job with keeping it fun. You would never be able to tell he was awkward by the way the pictures came out, she did fantastic. Thank you Lauren for capturing such beautiful photos that we will cherish forever!

Hi! I’m Rachel! I am a wedding and elopement photographer in Northwest Montana. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest of Washington, I am thrilled to call Kalispell, Montana my home, and Glacier National Park my backyard. The mountains that surround the Flathead Valley make for the perfect backdrop for any photo. The heart and soul of my business is creating spaces where people can feel their most relaxed and most real selves. Beautiful images are created when people are their most authentic selves, and can relax into the process of having their photos taken

Rachel is not only a master behind the camera, but a true professional! We hired Rachel to photograph our June 2, 2024 wedding at the Lodge. Despite the chaos of uncooperative weather, timeline woes and typical wedding day stress - Rachel did not skip a beat. She went above and beyond to help us stay on track and make sure we were where we needed to be. We truly feel that she was the glue holding it all together! Not only is Rachel extremely helpful and personable - her pictures are absolutely stunning and creative. It was such a great surprise when she sent us our sneak peak the day after our wedding! We would 1000% recommend Rachel for anyone seeking photography services!

Hi! I’m Marci, but I also go by Mars. I’m a photographer who specializes in analog film photography, but I also offer digital photography and am typically shooting both on a wedding day. My greatest inspiration comes from organic moments, lived-in details, cinematic storytelling and human connection — I take all these influences into consideration when photographing a wedding day and like to consider my approach documentary with an editorial flare.

We loved our photos from the elopement, and we are sure we’ll love the rest of the wedding photos when they come back. Thank you for everything. You had such a calming presence, and your work is exquisite! I’d recommend Marci to anyone looking for documentary style photography of their wedding day.
