Right Price Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. The photographer and her team were very prompt and timely with communication leading up to our big day, responding to emails and calls within a day or less. On the wedding day, they arrived on time and came prepared with a detailed timeline that we had collaborated on in advance. They were extremely flexible and accommodating when I came up with some unique photo ideas, not only bringing those visions to life but also suggesting additional creative shots. The end results are beautiful photos that perfectly capture the joy and special moments of our wedding, all at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend Right Price to any couple looking for professional yet laidback photographers who deliver excellent work and value while making the photography process fun and stress-free!

We absolutely loved working with Jimmy as our wedding videographer! From the very first interaction meeting to the day of the wedding and even until the day we received our video, it has been one of our best decisions. Jimmy was very communicative throughout the entire process and made sure to include anything we wanted to capture. We gave him complete artistic control, and we don't regret it one bit. Our wedding video really captured the emotions, story, and so many intimate moments of our wedding day; it was an absolute art. It was more than what we could have imagined.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

Awarded Best of Zola
Laramie is FANTASTIC! Everyone keeps talking about how good the photos are, and my husband agrees and is glad we went with Wandering Creative like I wanted. She was able to cover the entire wedding and get those extra pics of the food and decorations, things that people don't really think about. AND she got the crucial moments. She literally captured his immediate reaction to seeing me coming down the aisle! I looked at so many photographers, but I kept coming back to Wandering Creative because I loved the photos and her vision so much. And she did not disappoint. These are photos that you will look back on for the rest of your life. One of my friends said it best when she said, “she really captured the energy of your wedding”. When I look at these photos, I remember and can feel our happiness and how much fun we had. And thanks to Wandering Creative, I always will.

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.

Kelsey also helped create a timeline for our wedding day, helped keep us on time, kept offering help with all the wedding planning process, and she kept the day running so smoothly. Everyone at my wedding absolutely loved her, my bridal party couldn't stop talking about how amazing she was at the wedding and they're still absolutely blown away by the sneak peek pictures!

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 talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

Taylor not only possesses exceptional talent behind the lens but also excels as a mentor in the world of photography. It is evident that she is passionate about sharing her knowledge and expertise. She patiently guided me through the intricacies of perfecting manual settings, offering invaluable insights and practical tips along the way. Her teaching style was clear, concise, and tailored to my individual learning needs. What truly sets Taylor apart is her willingness to go above and beyond in nurturing aspiring photographers. Not only did she impart technical skills, but she also graciously allowed me to tag along on various shoots, providing firsthand experience and invaluable opportunities to observe her creative process in action.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

I can’t even begin to say how spectacular Eugene’s work is. He puts so much love into his craft and creates stunning photo stories for a variety of occasions. Eugene goes above and beyond to get unique and beautiful shots. He was an absolute dream to work with! I instantly felt a genuine connection with him—it felt like we were friends for years. Eugene made my husband and I feel confident throughout the entire process! If you want top-quality, thoughtful work, go to Eugene! He truly loves his work, and it shows. Eugene was everything you want in a photographer—easy to work with, very responsive, with great ideas, and of course, extraordinary photos! We were so lucky to find him and are happy with how our photos turned out. I would recommend Eugene to anyone. If you want an experienced photographer who can capture emotional, beautiful, breathtaking photos, Eugene is your guy. You will NOT be disappointed.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae Krell Photo was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, they were communicative, professional, and made us feel so comfortable and at ease. As a queer couple where one of us is plus-size, we were nervous about being in front of the camera, but Mae put us right at ease. The photos they captured are absolutely beautiful - they have such an artistic eye and really highlighted the love and joy of our special day. We had never had professional photos taken before, but Mae made the entire experience comfortable and affordable. We would highly recommend Mae Krell Photo to any couple looking for gorgeous, personalized wedding photography.

ap FILM & PHOTO was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, they were accommodating, direct, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process. Their communication was top-notch, and they made sure to understand our specific vision and preferences. On the day of the wedding, they seamlessly captured all the special moments with a keen eye for detail, resulting in truly beautiful and couple-specific photographs. What we appreciated most was their focus on body positivity - they made both my husband and I feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is reflected in the stunning, natural-looking images with retouches where we might not have photographed perfectly but had genuine reactions. Ashlee isn’t the least expensive but the quality photos and detail provided was unmatched, and we are thrilled with the final product.

Planning a small destination wedding in Key West from Tennessee felt overwhelming, especially with a short timeline and tight budget. But from the moment I found Lynn, everything changed. Within two days, she had secured all our vendors and stayed in constant communication to keep things running smoothly. Then, just when things got stressful—a hurricane hit Florida the day before we were supposed to fly out! Our flight was canceled, and I was panicked. Lynn called me and remained so optimistic! She helped me stay calm and reassured me we'd make it, and thankfully we were able to fly out the day before the ceremony. On our wedding day, Lynn communicated mostly with family members who were there to minimize any stress on me, which I greatly appreciated. The setup and decor were better than I could have ever imagined and everything flowed perfectly. Lynn took my vision and brought it to life, completely exceeding my expectations. If you need a wedding planner, Lynn is it. She’s professional, caring, and works magic to make your day unforgettable. You can tell she loves what she does, and it truly shows in every detail!

The quality of Katie's work was truly unique, lovely, and creative - they captured all the important moments and understood the vibe of our wedding day perfectly.
