Your culture, style, love languages, and family dynamic play a huge role in how I approach your wedding. This is why I always schedule a call prior to booking!

Josie is incredible, we had high expectations from all of the stellar reviews - but she absolutely exceeded those high expectations. We had a very small wedding and a relatively small budget but she worked with us to find a way to shoot our wedding within our budget. She made sure to meet with us twice before the wedding to make sure she had a good idea of what our expectations were and who each person in our party was. On the day of, she felt like a friend/guest. She is so lovely, bubbly and so genuinely passionate about capturing every moment of your special day. We knew we wanted a documentary style photographer, but she is truly talented in her eye for detail and being able to make your wedding photos look like stills from a movie. She was able to coordinate photos without having us posing for them and she is so good at making anyone feel comfortable in front of her camera. We were so happy we decided to book her even before we got all of our photos back. Now that we have seen them, we are just elated.

I’m Monica Cassell, and I’m on a mission to ensure your photos are really damn good. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just choosing another vendor who’ll punch in and punch out.

Through Lindsey's Lens Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Lindsey's communication throughout the planning process was perfect - she was always very clear about what information she needed from me, and her reminder emails were extremely helpful in keeping me organized and on track. I've only received photo previews so far, but even those are stunning. Lindsey's attention to detail and artistic eye are unmatched, and I could not be happier with our choice of photographer. On the wedding day itself, Lindsey meshed incredibly well with all of our guests and brought a fun, relaxed energy that made the formal photo sessions fly by smoothly. The photos feel vibrant, organic and full of joy. I can't recommend Through Lindsey's Lens highly enough for wedding photography!

My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever.

McKenna was the best!! The photography packages offered are robust and fairly priced. We picked McKenna for her vision and authentic/candid photo style. When we met, we knew we had made the right choice. McKenna is such a kind, friendly person who immediately puts you at ease. She was so easy to work with and made my husband and I feel so confident and comfortable during our engagement shoot and throughout the wedding. At the wedding, her assistant Bliss was also INCREDIBLE and highly recommended! McKenna is quick to reply to communication. I am so in love with the photos she has given me so far. I can't wait to see the rest!!

From the moment Alissa and I connected I knew she was going to be a great fit for us. She was very flexible as far as booking our engagement shoot and went above and beyond to get us all the photos we wanted, we even hung out a bit after and had a drink, she's fun!! Come wedding day I was having some issues with another vendor and Alissa was more than willing to step in and help in any way she could. Both my husband and I have very large families so when it came time for family photos she did a great job at making sure we got what we needed and moved on so that we can enjoy our time and not spend hours corralling family to get photos done. We ended up needing her to stay longer to capture our exit and she was more than willing to add more time. After just a few days we got back 50 photos for our sneak peak and were soooo in love with the way they turned out!

Kelsey Sheehan Photography was founded in 2019. I made the jump into being a professional photographer to follow my heart and work in a career path that I love! When I am not working you can find me baking with country or 90s/00s R&B blasting, sitting by the fire with my neighbors, doing yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, or hiking with my family. Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.

Kelsey was the sweetest to work with! We loved the location that she suggested, it was one of the prettiest parks we have seen! She was super friendly and her communication throughout the entire process was great. Her helpful tips and directions for poses made the entire experience so calming. We love the photos we got back from our engagement shoot! Wonderful moments that Kelsey captured that we will cherish forever. Kelsey thank you so much!!

I specialize in photographing intimate weddings (less than 50 guests) and elopements. Let’s create moody, storybook photos that feel like YOUR LOVE— not a knockoff version of what anyone else is doing. I want you to have the engagement and wedding season you deserve.

We used Milly with The Rose Reflective for our wedding in September of 2023. While she specializes in gorgeous elopements, we just knew we had to hire her for our small wedding.

Thank you, Milly, for chasing your passion and doing what you do for ALL couples.

  • Serves Dillon Beach, CA for additional fees

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

My husband and I can't recommend Kaitlyn enough. From the booking process, our engagement shoot, through the wedding itself Kaitlyn was thoughtful, professional, and attentive to our preferences and requests. She even drove 3 hours to do our engagement shoot in Wisconsin and was able to film our ceremony on her own! Her sneak peek the next day made us so so happy, and she got every photo on our list, including some out of order or spontaneous based on how the day went. We couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn's services! Rachel & Alex

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Salvatore (Milieu) made our wedding day even more special than we could have expected. We LOVED his beautiful and creative ways of capturing our most special moments (if you look at his portfolio, you will know exactly what I mean). He is so very kind, professional, and made us so comfortable. He was so accommodating and helped us come up with a way to get all of the photos we wanted within the time frame we had to work with. I can go on and on about how much we loved working with Salvatore! He is truly a 1 of a kind find and we HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him!

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

Celia at The Lovely Lens was an absolute GEM!! Our wedding was not the typical / traditional ceremony-- on purpose! Leading up to the big day, Celia kept lines of communication open (so helpful for planning) and was 1000% supportive of our special day being so...well, special! She was such a total champ while capturing every moment in the pouring rain. She was fully prepared for the weather & didn't miss one beat! My partner and I instantly felt at ease and loved our time together with her. She encouraged us to be our authentically goofy selves! Her presence was so warm, her energy was delightful, and her work was STUNNING! Seriously, I'm obsessed with the photos! Not only do we have incredible images from this amazing day, but we also have wonderful memories with Celia. She was so friendly and kind us as well as to our family and friends, and immediately jumped on board with our 'potluck bbq at Grandma's house' vibe. By the end of the day she felt like part of the family as we chatted about our furkids and exchanged on where to order some cute socks with their faces on them, haha. If you're looking for an absolute powerhouse of an artist to capture your day in the way that doesn't feel awkward or intrusive, or if you're looking for a photographer with genuinely good vibes and authentic energy, or if you're looking for someone to simply help tell your love story through stunning imagery-- please consider The Lovely Lens of Celia for your special day. 3

I highly recommend Cassie for all of your wedding photography needs! She captured our engagement photos and wedding reception, and I am so incredibly pleased with the results! She has a very distinct eye for the shots that she wants to capture and the end results looked phenomenal. We met via zoom before the reception so that she knew exactly our goals for capturing the day, and she stuck with them! After couples photos and family photos, she was able to pull us aside at sunset and sundown to take some phenomenal shots at the end of the night. I would highly recommend Cassie and her team to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
After my (now) husband and I booked our venue we knew the next vendor that we needed to hire was a photographer. I was a semi crazy bride and I probably interviewed over 10 photographers. We were looking for someone who not only took gorgeous, bright photos but also someone we could personally connect to. As soon as we had our introductory call, we knew Kim was the one! She was so warm and thoughtful during our call - really trying to understand our love story and how we wanted our wedding to be like. I actually cried during our intro call - that's how safe I felt around her. About a couple months after we signed our contract, Kim reached out to schedule our engagement shoot. This is when my husband and I really got to connect with Kim and knew we 1000% made the right choice. Kim was super organized (which we loved) with scheduling the time, picking the location and coordinating the meet up. She made us feel so comfortable and she captured the most stunning photos. She kept us engaged and prompted questions and actions to make sure our engagement photos really captured who we were as a couple and didn't feel posed. She got to learn our goofy personalities and it was a great practice run for our big day. Now for our wedding ... omg I cannot put to words what amazing photos Kim and her team took. We just got our final gallery and it immediately brought us to tears. She was able to capture the perfect balance of posed photos but also candids. Her detail photos made it possible to re-live every moment of the day again. She also made sure we captured all our family portraits (even though they were super large). She truly felt like a best friend who was around during out most special day who just happened to also snap a lot of photos. Our bridal party loved having her around and we were all so comfortable. She made prepping for our wedding day as effortless and stress free as possible. Before our wedding we had calls to walk through our shot list, timelines. She was super engaged and organized - giving all the tips she could to keep us on track. She delivered our sneak peeks SO quickly. We had them a couple days after our wedding to enjoy and cry over them while we were on our honeymoon. She also delivered our final gallery within 2 months! I can't recommend Kim enough- she's not just a super talented photographer but she's also a beautiful soul who has truly become our friend through this whole process. Can't wait to keep re-living our wedding day through her photos!!

Douglas was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding on 08/17/24. Our original wedding photographer cancelled two weeks before our wedding, and a friend recommended we reach out to Doug. He was thankfully available and from the moment we reached out, he was so easy to communicate with - always quick to respond, extremely accommodating, and so easy-going. His work has been absolutely beautiful, he has an amazing understanding of light, composition, and framing with a lot of experience working with outdoor conditions that truly captured the essence of our special day. Doug fit right in with our wedding - he showed up early, stayed late, and somehow (while just following the standard schedule of the day) managed to get the most incredible true lighting and color in *all* of our photos - everything feels exactly like the day itself felt. We couldn't be happier with the results and would without a doubt recommend Douglas R Hall Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues.

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Hiring Kelly was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She spent so much time getting to know us before the wedding, and our photos very clearly reflect her attention to capturing what was important to us. We really wanted to see the joy and breadth of emotions of the day and wanted photos that reflected our wedding as vibrant and loving, and that shines through in every photo!! Kelly is also so personable and brings such a wonderful energy to all parts of the process which made us feel so comfortable and so happy to have her with us! In addition to creating a photography schedule that was invaluable and that we shaped the rest of the schedule around, she made sure to note people’s accessibility needs and to work with us closely on comfort for everyone as we had a lot of access needs. She answered every question we had happily and was just such a wonderful part of our day!! She also did our engagement photos at Great Falls and they turned out just so gorgeous. I had a lot of anxiety about how I would feel about the photos as a plus size bride and Kelly listened to my concerns and made me so comfortable and I’m so so thrilled with the photos and feel gorgeous in all of them, which I'm very grateful for!

CONGRATULATIONS! You just got engaged! :o I'm a firm believer in weddings being a blast, so I do what I can to make sure that your time spent with me is fun, active, natural, and feels like YOU! I'm also a firm believer in doing my part in making your wedding planning simpler for you, because let's face it wedding planning can be a bit overwhelming especially in the beginning. Also, weddings are stupid expensive and the moment you add the word "wedding" to anything the price jumps like 5x which is NOT COOL, and doesn't set couples up for success. So I try to keep my prices low. If you need help paying let me know!

Nick was our guy from our Engagement shoot through our Wedding Day, and he did a fantastic job! In our shoots, he gave us enough direction to create a great shot without making it feel too staged, and really got creative with the process. Whether posed or candid, Nick's photos really captured the emotions behind our big day. He also made sure to photograph each our Guests, which was so awesome! Nick's customer service was great, too - he was very supportive, responsive, and professional. He even sent us framed prints from our wedding, which was a very lovely and personal touch. Thank you Nick!

Ashley (she/they), owner of Wide Eyed Studios, is a Philadelphia-based luxury wedding photographer. She specializes in engagement shoots, boudoir, rehearsal dinner coverage, elopement, local and travel weddings, as well as day after portrait sessions. WES offers versatile packages & pricing; reach out and speak with Ashley about your needs.

Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios gave us something we couldn't find anywhere else. They were able to capture the totality of our destination wedding experience. On top of that Ashley and Rebecca were able to take the pressure off of couples portraits before the wedding by creating a unique, intimate, striking, outdoor day-after location shoot. This allowed us to enjoy the run up to our wedding with minimal disruptions and gave us a portrait shoot that exceeded our expectations. Having Wide Eyed Studios with us during our entire destination event helped us authentically capture all of the fun moments we had with our friends and family leading up to the wedding. They were able to capture so much more than I had expected, and we now have so much more to look back on with incredible photos. With all of the amazing imagery that was captured, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception got even more love. The comfort level that was already gained with Ashley having been integrated with the group upleveled all of the content that was captured on wedding day. We are so thankful for all of the moments that were captured. Overall, the entire experience with Ashely and Wide Eyed Studios was so meaningful to us. They felt more a part of our celebration than a vendor we hired to support it. We couldn't have asked for anything more and the pictures we received still make us shake our heads with disbelief. Thank you, Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios for making our destination wedding the best it could possibly be.

I know that you're looking for more than just beautiful wedding photos which is why my work with you doesn't start (or end) there. You deserve an expert- somebody who can give you the best advice & industry secrets. I know the ins & outs of weddings because I live them every weekend & know the very real stress that comes with planning a wedding. Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm still hearing positive comments from our family on how amazing Kara (and her second photographer) were on our wedding day. She was so relaxed, funny, easy going, and brought a sense of calm to a hectic day. As a photographer, she was focused, communicated clearly, and made everything easy at every point in our planning process. I felt like she got our style and personality as soon as we had our first call. We just got our final photos back and we couldn't be happier! Just book Kara already.

  • Serves Dillon Beach, CA for additional fees

Hiya! I'm Tess, an Austin-based photographer with 10+ years of experience telling the stories of my community through photography. I love weddings of all sizes, from adventurous elopements to grand celebrations. My photojournalism background influences my documentarian style, which captures the natural joy and energy of weddings without forced poses. I help my couples feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera just as they are.

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is so long overdue, and I hope it brings home just how much I value Tess' work, and how talented of a documentarian I think she is. Since college, I've vowed to never book a friend for photos unless I really loved their work, because I often found myself disappointment when I should have invested in a professional instead of doing a friend a favor. Though Tess is a dear friend from school, she is absolutely no exception. I would have never been so excited to hire her if her photography work wasn't exactly what my husband and I wanted for our wedding day. Our ceremony was small and intimate, but Tess' work made it feel no less important because the guest size or venue. I'm a fat woman of color, and I'm often self-conscious of how other people, even friends, photograph me and the effort they lack in taking even casual pictures of myself or of me with my husband. However, Tess captured exactly how I felt that day. Not because of any editing, but because she captured our beauty and love for each other exactly as we are. Though Tess did put in so much time and effort into knowing me and my husband as a couple, it doesn't matter how intimately you know your subject — without talent, without having an eye for precious moments and framing and being able to anticipate a shoot's big moments, there's no way you can do what someone like Tess does. We planned our ceremony and reception ourselves — no planner, no coordinator — and Tess' experience helped immensely in planning exactly what we needed and wanted for photos. Despite being a friend, she treated us like any other pair of clients, with extreme professionalism and care, and even went above her scope of work for shooting during the reception and returning our gallery. I'm so happy to see her thrive in her calling, and am honored to have experienced her talents. Tess is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I know we'll be booking her to document important life milestones in the future.

Hey there- I'm Joanna, but feel free to call me Jo! My world has always been filled with photography- through all the years and different cameras, it's always been my biggest passion and love. I am a travel enthusiast and I will always be down to hike up a mountain or explore a new city. My favorite meals are anything that include coffee or sushi and I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as "too much chocolate." Most importantly, I am a lover of all love and will never get tired of documenting it.

Jo was absolutely amazing for both our engagement shots and the wedding. Her personality is infectious and she provides a great balance of hype-person and quiet observer based on what the moment needs. The photos came out amazing— a true depiction of our relationship without ever looking staged or unnatural. She seriously rocks.

We are Marc and Kalena, founders of MC Visuals, traveling photographers, and cinematographers based out of Western CT. With over 10 years of experience, documenting life's most beautiful moments has always been something so dear to our hearts as individuals. Aside from his love of filmography, Marc enjoys basketball, playing guitar/bass/drums, landscape photography, cooking, and watching his favorite shows while cuddling with our mini dachshunds Sammie & Brady. As for me... well I have many loves in life, but mostly salsa dancing & my dogs :)

If I were to choose one word that describes MC Visuals, it’d be “breathtaking”. Honestly, the way I feel cannot even be explained in words. They offer both photography and videography. The quality of the photos and video is just astounding that it was way better than I had expected. I was looking for a certain vibe and they fit the bill. Some things to note: 1. They respond in a timely manner. Well-organized. 2. Very sweet couple who will make you feel very special during your special day. 3. Outgoing personalities that’ll help you feel more comfortable being in front of the camera. 4. Again, the QUALITY of the photos and videos. I can’t stress this enough. They go above and beyond. And capture your day in a way that it feels like a dream. I am immensely satisfied with their work. If I were given the chance to do it all over again, I’d choose MC Visuals every time.

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

We've had our first love story photoshoot with her this spring. Both of us were so shy and new to this, but Dasha not only made us feel comfortable but also be ourselves! All the posing and picture ideas, we didn't have to worry about. And finally, the pictures came out amazing! We were so happy with the photoshoot process and the photos that we knew we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. Dasha was with us from early morning till almost midnight and we couldn't be happier! I even felt like she was one of my bridesmaids and closest friends, always helping around and making me feel less nervous! We just got our wedding pictures a few days back and we just wanted to share them all at once! We're very happy with our choice!! Thank You Dasha for everything!

Words cannot express my appreciation for Alisa Sue photography. I wanted the best of the best for photography for my wedding and I came across Alisa Sue and stalked her Instagram for quite some time before finally booking - they were absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with, so easy to get along with, so pleasant, so fun and the photos - ugh - to die for. Timeless and beautiful. My now husband and I are so awkward in photos and Alisa Sue made us feel so natural and comfortable. I truly hate pictures and getting my picture taken and she was by my side every step of the way cheering me on. There is no one else you should book with, besides Alisa Sue! She is now my go-to photographer for everything in life - I can’t thank her enough for making our special day that much more special!

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

My fiance and I had a great experience working with Caroline for our engagement photo mini session! I was amazed at how many moments she was able to capture in a short 20 minute session. The edited photos are beautiful- the romantic style is just perfect. We almost didn't do engagement photos, but I'm so glad that we had Caroline capture this exciting time.

David was amazing at our wedding! He was fun, outgoing, and made all of us, specially me, very comfortable throughout the day. David provided us a nice timeline that really helped me be less stress (I'm very picky) and he was more than willing to meet several times prior to our wedding date. I absolutely loved that he was very transparent before, on, and after our wedding and I can't say that for the rest of the vendors. I highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for an awesome photographer!
