I can’t say enough good things about WildRosesDesign. From start to finish, they were everything we could’ve hoped for and more. They took the time to get to know us, understand what we wanted, and made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. On our wedding day, WildRosesDesign made us feel completely at ease. They had this amazing way of making the awkwardness of being in front of a camera disappear! Their creativity and attention to detail were incredible, and they captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening. When we got the photos back, I was blown away. Every single image was gorgeous—natural, authentic, and full of emotion. It was like they perfectly told the story of our day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will truly exceed your expectations, look no further. WildRosesDesign is talented, kind, and such a joy to work with. I can’t recommend them enough!

It's so great to have you here! I call Pittsburgh my home, but I'm always on the lookout for new adventures to satisfy my wanderlust spirit. When I'm not capturing the beautiful moments of a wedding or a couple's photo session, you can find me exploring the great outdoors with my two furry companions, Bodhi and Maui. And of course, I love to wind down with a good book and a warm cup of coffee. So, let's get to know each other and make some amazing memories!

I have known Mandie since 2018! She was my wedding photographer and we got super close. First off, my photos were absolutely beautiful - and she got the best shots from the day! Second, we started working together on wedding photography - and each wedding we do she just keeps getting better! She is out here killing it! She is very personable and will personalize your photos to best fit your wedding day! HIGHLY recommend!

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

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.

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

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!

We immediately knew we wanted Nick to photograph our wedding after the experience we had with our engagement photoshoot. From the moment we had asked nick to photograph our wedding his communication was on point. We had a handful of FaceTime meetings to discuss what we wanted out of our experience, if we wanted any specific shots on our special day, and he even created a detailed timeline of how the day would be going photography wise. When he arrived at my bridal cabin he dove right into his job without missing a beat. Nick made me and my bridal party feel relaxed and made sure that we were having fun throughout our bridesmaid photos. I’m not one to like having my photo taken but Nick helped calm my nervous and told me to just go with it. I absolutely love the single shots he took of me! The photos Nick took of my husband and his groomsman looked amazing and you could tell the guys were having fun in the photos. When it came to the first look with my husband Nick directed the both of us with ease. He really captured every moment and emotion on our big day. He even got photos of the dance battle that broke out at the reception. I didn’t even notice he was doing it and I’m so glad he did because that was one of my favorite moments from our wedding. I would recommend him to anyone and plan on using him in the future for anymore upcoming life events my husband and I would want captured.

I am based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I first started photography in 2015 when I got my first camera in New York City. I started off with doing photos at concerts. I would start at local shows and eventually worked my way up to big shows. Now I love capturing people in their moment on their big day.

Sarina is the kindest, and most talented photographer we’ve ever had. She did our engagement photos and we loved them so much, we hired her for our wedding and every other photo shoot we’ve done. When we had to lose our dog, she gave us the most memorable photos to keep his memory alive and made our last day with him the best we could’ve asked for. She is patient, flexible, caring and passionate about her work.

Her communication was timely and productive. She was very prepared for our wedding day with a list of photos she wanted to get and the photos we wanted to get. She was able to get our pictures back so fast, it was amazing! My family and friends had nothing but great things to say about the photos and the video. Both the photos and the video took us right back to the day, which is exactly what you want! I cannot say enough great things about Sam, and we hope to be able to use her in the future!

Hey - I’m Tillie! Does someone putting a camera in your face make you cringe? Me too! I know having your photo taken can be awkward and uncomfortable. I take my time to get to know my clients and their photo goals prior to their wedding day.

We cannot say enough positive words about tillie and the work she did for our wedding!!! She was amazing!! From the very beginning of hiring her she was available and communicative and listened to all our needs and wants for our pictures and at the end they were perfect! She was even adaptable to parts of the wedding that were a surprise to our guests and we forgot to inform her that they were happing and she was able to capture those moments! She sent us a little preview of our pictures right away for us to enjoy as she worked on the others. I as the bride also had a slight issue with how my hair turned out and though most people wouldn’t have noticed, to me it was a huge deal and she was able to edit out the hair in the pictures to make it exactly how I wanted! The wedding website she set up was beautiful organized and easy to navigate for us and our friends and family. Would highly recommend using Tillie for any event you have!

It's YOUR friggin' wedding and I promise you tons of laughs, creativity, and killer photos. I love working with people and find inspiration in REAL life couples. We have fun, we get silly... hell, we even get a little weird if you're into it (safe word is, "Camera Shy") 😳. At the same time I obsess over crafting exceptional and authentic images. So whether you're some groovy hip kids or a couple of squares, let's go make some art together. I’ll put in the blood, sweat, and tears… you just show up. By the end of your wedding day, we will be best friends. I believe so much in marriage and weddings and truly enjoy being a part of them.

My wife Maria and I had Mike shoot our special day! We just got the pics back and were blown away!!! Great job Mike and thank you for allowing us to relive this day!

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.

My husband and I loved every part of the process of working with Joe Appel! With all the components that go into wedding planning, we definitely appreciated the smooth and stress-free communication with Joe. He honored our wishes for the candid shots we wanted and managed to capture every big and small moment of our wedding without ever choreographing shots. Post-wedding, communication stayed consistent and smooth as he compiled beautiful albums for us. We saw Joe as a friend over a vendor the whole way through. Many thanks -- we're looking forward to another reason to hire him!!

I was so happy to have not only an amazing photographer there with us, but a friend. You won't regret having Avery be a part of your wedding day!

I photograph I do's in PGH & love it - I'm unapologetically unfancy w/ always messy hair 😆 My favorite moment of a wedding day is when the new Mr. and Mrs. are announced into the reception because of the anticipation right before the doors are opened, the cheering of friends and family, and the happiness on the face of the couple.

Kristen photographed our wedding back in 2011 and she is amazing! She’s super professional and probably the most organized person I’ve ever met. She’s also really nice and helpful. She worked with us to make every part of our day perfect. Our photos are absolutely beautiful! I have recommended her to everyone I know who has gotten married since and will continue to. If you want the best of the best, Kristen is your girl!

I want to capture your essence. People are often nervous when you begin to photograph them, but I have no expectations for you- aside for you to simply be your authentic self! I want to capture your silly, your tender, your sweet, your love. I’ll guide you and your loved one to interact in natural, timeless ways to create art that will have the honor of living in your home and being a part of your family for generations to come. I don't create for the now- I create for the forever.

We hired Anne has our part of our wedding day vendor dream team, and I am so, so thankful that we did. It was one of the best decisions we made. Anne is an incredible photographer. Her work is dreamy & ethereal, yet perfectly captures the essence of her subjects. Her work is also versatile - her candids and styled shots are both fabulous. Anne worked with us on engagement photos, so we had the chance to get a sense of her style and personality, and it was love at first photo. She is so warm and effervescent that we immediately felt at ease. Both my husband and I aren't super comfortable in front of the camera, but Anne's encouragement made the photoshoot fun. She even brought treats for our pup, which endeared him immediately. The engagement photos were incredibly and perfectly captured our romantic garden party vibe and our connection as a couple. Leading up to our wedding, Anne worked closely with our planner to make sure that our timeline, photo locations, and shot list were in perfect order. She worked tirelessly to create a rain plan that eased my panic when we couldn't take photos inside the hotel. On day of, Anne & her assistant arrived promptly at our bridal suite and quickly got to work doing flat lays, detail shots, etc. before moving seamlessly into first look and group shots. Her sense of humor kept our group laughing and made sure the groom didn't get tired of photos. She even helped carry my shoes and got my husband water when he lost his voice. It was like having a close friend at our wedding to cheer us on. Of course, the photos were incredible! Our preview was full of gems, I can't choose my favorite one. I can't imagine having to pick for the full album! She captured our love for each other and made sure we had a good time the whole day. tl;dr Hire Anne because she is very talented photographer and her team is fabulous, and also hire Anne because she is an amazing person. She will make your wedding day even dreamier.

Do you know what I love the most about my job? People. The people that I photograph. The people that I get to know. Their lives, and the story that has helped to shape them. There are never two stories that are the same. Life is beautiful that way. I began my journey as a photographer happenstance- I took some photography college credits because I loved the art, and wanted to fulfill a degree in it. Photography helped me to outwardly express the visions that I dreamed of, the visions that I couldn’t express into words.

I contacted Leigh as a recommendation from my now M-I-L after she had met her at a co-worker's wedding. She raved about how professional Leigh was and couldn't say enough about her work. When I contacted Leigh she was willing to meet me for coffee (which most of the photographers that I contacted refused until I signed a contract) as I wanted to make sure that I "jived" with the photographer who was going to be with me and spending a lot of time with me on my big day. Thirty minutes turned into an hour and I thought Leigh would be perfect for us. She is extremely professional, friendly and flexible. We did our engagement pictures with our pups when there was flooding and she didn't bat an eye. She was very attentive during our big day and her husband, Barry was equally as fantastic. With our wedding and engagement over, we are so glad to say that we have a TON of beautiful pictures and would recommend Leigh to anyone. AMAZING!

I currently do not pay for a Zola listing, so if you inquire here, I am unable to respond. I’m Dawn, and I photograph your real, blissed-out wedding moments so you can relive them later. With me, there is no separating the now from the nostalgia, because I always deliver both.

Dawn was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, she was open and super helpful - they were always available to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly amazing, jaw-dropping, and perfection. They brought such high energy and an incredible attitude on the day, capturing every special moment with such care and creativity. Our entire family and wedding party LOVED working with her. We were especially touched that they were willing to travel all the way to NYC for our engagement shoot, going above and beyond to ensure we had beautiful photos to remember that milestone as well. We cannot recommend Dawn Derbyshire Photography enough - they played a huge role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Happy Out Photography

Happy Out derives from Irish origin- ‘a feeling or strong emotion that you can’t quite put into words about how you are feeling in that moment…blissful, joyful, or pleased is just not enough to convey to others about the butterflies you have in your stomach and that permanent smile you can’t wipe of your face.’ So why is this important? — This is the feeling you should have throughout the entire wedding photography + videography experience, and more importantly when you look back at your once in a lifetime moments in your portraits and film.

We found Katie and her team on The Knot after searching weeks for a photography/videography team. We talked to many vendors, but none really understood our relationship/vision quite like Katie. On our first conference call, she made us feel so comfortable and ran through every detail with us. We chose her photography and videography package and also added a ceremony and speech taping. We worked with the Owner, Katie, the entire time and did not meet the second photographer or videographer until the morning of the wedding which was fine. Katie filled them in on everything and I felt like everyone was all on the same page. Our engagement session took place in September 2019 in front of the Phipps Conservatory. She let us do 3 outfit changes and even stayed a little longer after the sun went down to capture a quick photo shoot that was an ode to our love of movies. The engagement pictures came back quickly and were wonderful! She walked us through a lot of poses but also let us just do our own thing. My wedding fell into the “Covid-19” category so we had to postpone our June wedding until August. Our wedding day went on without any issues. Katie and her team went to my house first to capture my husband and his groomsmen then they came to our location to capture me and my bridesmaids. Since there were two photographers, I assumed that they were each going to come to each location, but that wasn’t the case. We weren’t rushed for time so it didn’t matter, but I just thought it was strange they stayed together instead of separating to capture more moments. Katie and her team captured the ceremony so well. The pictures were absolutely fabulous and truly captured the moments and the emotions behind them. The video was a standard camera that didn’t move so sometimes it was difficult to see what was happening. I would have liked to see more of the guests reactions. We were told that there would also be drone footage used, but there was no drone used throughout the day. After the ceremony, we stayed on location for bridal party shots and intimate couple shots. Katie walked us through everything and it was done in the hour that we needed it completed by. At the reception, again the events were photographed very well, but once the events stopped and the party began to take place, I’ll be honest I was a little disappointed in what was captured. I had asked Katie to take pictures of every table while we were making our rounds, but neither of the photographers followed us. Then during the reception, I wish that I would have asked Katie to capture more pictures of us with the guests. There were plenty of candid pictures of guests talking in groups, but no posed pictures of guests looking at the camera. I don’t really have any professional photos of me and guests other than my bridal party and family. One of my biggest disappointments after looking through pictures was that there is no picture of me and my mother on my wedding day. I have lots with my dad, but none with just my mom or just my parents. My husband had extra time with the photographers in the morning so he has a lot of family shots, but unfortunately, I don’t. DO NOT GET ME WRONG - my wedding pictures are AMAZING and Katie did a fabulous job. We received numerous compliments on her work. I just feel like if you use her, you need to make an exact list of who and what you want pictures of or it will not be captured. I recommend Katie’s services to any upcoming brides!!!

My approach is simple – I love to capture love, and I want to provide you with imagery that you will cherish forever. I strive to create images that are classically beautiful and romantic so that they will withstand the test of time. My work has been described as colorful, emotional, authentic, and light-filled.

I'm a coffee-loving corgi mom, obsessed with travel and all things love! I started this wedding photography business because I am fiercely in love with capturing soulmates. My style is timeless and authentic. Candid and fun. Emotional and jaw-droppingly beautiful. So take a deep breath. Soak it all in. I've got it from here.

Hiring Haley to be our photographer for our special day is the best choice we made in our wedding planning. For our engagement shoot, we perfectly captured sweet and candid moments, while also somehow getting our best angles. The entire afternoon with her was stress free, and it was easy to forget the purpose of the shoot as it was like hanging with a close friend, who simply wanted to document amazing memories. She captured our personalities and interests, and the photos were so incredible we had to use them on our invitations. Her presence on our wedding day was invaluable. She was a source of calm, organization, and ensured that both us as a couple, as well as the wedding party, remained on track. She is the biggest hype woman, friendly presence, and utmost professional. The sneak peeks that we have received were truly astonishing, and she captured all of the details and magic of the day between her ability to capture the light, the natural joy of others, and sheer talent. Throughout the planning process, there is nothing that she missed. She helped guide us for where we wanted to get photos, what photos we wanted to be sure of, and even creating a timeline. We cannot say enough positive things about Haley, her business, and her talent, and are so immensely thankful to her!

i'm here for the couples who aren't afraid to get their feet wet- the ones who aren't afraid to roll with the punches, and who want to capture those warm, candid moments that will transport you back in time when you look at these photos in the years to come. photographing your life is a vulnerable experience, and the folks who trust me and walk away feeling more like a friend then a client, are the types of connections i strive to make with everyone who steps foot in front of my camera.

We were thrilled with Carlie Gabrelcik Photography for our wedding! Carlie was very responsive throughout the planning process and on our big day. We also had her take photos when I proposed and also had an engagement photo shoot. Her photos beautifully captured the love and joy we felt. She was flexible when our timeline changed and drove us between the ceremony and reception with a smile. Carlie is so talented. She worked to document genuine moments. We felt she prioritized capturing our love. Carlie's professionalism, passion, and flexibility contributed so much to making our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. I couldn’t imagine anyone else being our photographer. We enthusiastically recommend Carlie Gabrelcik Photography!

Immediately, this hobby turned into a passion. Friends, family, city, country, events, food, plants…you name it, I took a picture of it. I came to learn that I was most fulfilled by the things I found in front of my camera’s lens, not the camera itself. I then became enamored with developing my ability to snap a picture at the exact second a genuine smile fills my focal point, or the moment when couples get lost in each other and completely forget that I’m there. My camera became an extension of me and how I see the world. Through photography, I get to capture people’s happiest moments, and there’s no better subject to frame than our own joy.

Rachelle (and Josh!) made all of our dreams come true! I can't say enough about how thrilled we are with our wedding photos. The booking process was incredibly smooth and Rachelle was available for any and all questions! Nothing was too silly or small. Rachelle did a great job creating a timeline that worked for us and what we wanted out of our day. On the day of, Rachelle arrived early and set up very fast! She immediately got to work shooting our detail shots, getting ready candids, and photos with my bridesmaids. Josh went to a different location to be with all the guys, so we were able to get so many pictures before the wedding even started! Our formal wedding photos at the church with our families went sooo smooth and fast! This was really important to us since our grandparents weren't able to stand for very long, so we appreciated the efficiency. Rachelle took tons of candids of the bridal party on the party bus on the way back to the reception which was so fun and got everyone ready and in the mood to party! She also had such fun prompts to make our candids feel more relaxed and easy. We took our couples portraits so quickly and we got SO MANY!! Rachelle and Josh made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Lastly, I was expecting maybe 20-30 pics in our sneak peek and we got 120!!!! We had the best time on our honeymoon looking through our photos everyday!! Book Rachelle for your wedding, you will NOT be disappointed!
