LoveDays Photography

Every moment is unique, every couple is unique. I get to capture my amazing couples and the moments that make them up in really stunning and interesting ways that tell their special story. I love what I do. I have this amazing profession of photographing moments and telling stories through the combined voice of my clients lives and my creative eye. But this is not about me. This is about you. This is about your story, your marriage and your amazing day, why it is unique to your personalities and where you are headed in life.

Wayne was INCREDIBLE!! He's been to our property (Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor) for a handful of weddings this season and each time I'm relieved to see him. His experience and creativity is unique, playful and beautiful. Our couples are always so pleased with the photos and overall the experience of their big day when it comes to LoveDays. One wedding in particular (Ferrari Benotti Wedding) had incredible photos from downtown Boston. Many of those photos were highlighted in the @Onlybos Instagram and we had couples request Wayne's information from it. Incredible photos and great experience, 10/10 recommend.

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Encinitas, CA for additional fees

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

Maggie is one of the most fun, charismatic and professional photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. From concepting shoots to execution to final delivery, Maggie is always one step ahead and delivers the best products.

Photoflood Studio

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Encinitas, CA for additional fees

Courtney & Jackson are wedding, elopement & family photographers based in San Francisco, California but available for travel worldwide. We go wherever love takes you. Photoflood Studio is a wife + husband team from San Francisco, California. We are wedding photographers servicing NorCal to SoCal and beyond. Photoflood Studio specializes in wedding, engagement, and family photography. We aim to photograph life + love through an honest documentary approach. Our wedding, engagement and family photography is inspired by the beautiful wilderness, the culture of our coastal cities, and wherever you call home.

Whether you decide to have a big or small wedding, finding the perfect photographer is an essential detail. We stumbled across Courtney’s portfolio and fell in love with her story telling, but soon discovered that we loved working with her even more! Our initial meeting felt so comfortable, and her energy makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. Not only did she ask what we envisioned for the day, but she helped us create a timeline, directed us on the city hall wedding process, and even compiled a whole email with other resources for hair/makeup and florists. My husband and I never take professional photos, so we don’t know how to pose elegantly, but Courtney’s direction, words, and vibe made the experience extremely fun and care-free. Our families loved her, and my relatives could not stop raving about her afterwards. I think one of the most important aspects of a photographer is to make their clients feel confident and comfortable, and to allow their emotions to organically shine - and Courtney does this perfectly. We can’t wait to work with her again in the future for our future milestones :)

My heart beats for photographing a story worth telling, and finding the funny, quirky, moving little moments throughout that narrative.

Far Out Feeling

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Encinitas, CA for additional fees

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We had a terrific experience working with Meaghan and Brendon of “Far Out Feeling.” If you’ve made it this far, you already love their style – their ability to capture both candid and staged photos artfully – and we are happy to report that the photographers have personalities to match. We loved meeting them for drinks months in advance of our wedding, which gave us a nice context for one another when the day finally came (we cannot imagine, now, not knowing our wedding photographers when they arrived to take pictures of us!) We perhaps didn’t consider how crucial this feeling of comfort was, but when you think about, you do spend a tremendous portion of your wedding day with your photographers. Meaghan and Brendon felt like friends, which made even the parts of the wedding that we don’t like (posing!) feel easy, natural, and fun. Meaghan and Brendon were incredibly responsive, from first to last. They always got back to us the day we had a question, and even weeks after our wedding, they were responding to our technical difficulties within minutes. And the photos themselves turned out great! Again, you’ve probably seen evidence of this already. We cannot wait to print them, frame them, and, in all likelihood, post them relentlessly to our Instagram stories. A huge thank you to Meaghan and Brendon, who we recommend whole-heartedly.

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

Marla is a light of sunshine and would be an awesome pick for your photographer. She is creative and really makes sure she is getting the best shot for your day! Totally recommend!!!!

Diana and Korey Photo and Film

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,498
  • Serves Encinitas, CA for additional fees

As many millennials do, we met on one of those phone dating apps (eh hem.. Tinder..) and had an instant connection! It didn't take long for Korey to make things "official" and asked Diana if she would be his girlfriend. Of course she said 'yes!' and it was a whirlwind after that. We adopted an adorable blue nose pittie, moved in together, and started a business! Now here we are, 6 years later - chasing our dreams and building a career together as a MARRIED COUPLE!! (and we also have another pup!).

One of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process! Communication with Diana and Korey was smooth from the get go. Just take a look at their beautifully organized website and gallery and you'll understand what I mean! (It's also a great place to start looking for venue inspo!) Time tables with when and what things should happen are reviewed at a scheduled check in time. And the attention to detail they dedicate to your vision/pinterest board is a true sigh of relief for any bride in the wedding planning process! Josh and I are also certified introverts so it's hard for us to feel at ease in front of a camera. But each and every member of their team was so personable that it was easy for each smile and laugh to be genuine. Of course it also helped that Diana always had a pose idea ready to try! During our sweltering July wedding, despite 95 degree weather, Diana and her team sweated alongside us and continued to show enthusiasm for getting that next shot at that next backdrop to make sure every moment was captured. AND she had so many preview photos ready a mere TWO DAYS after the wedding. Herculean feat truly All our friends cannot stop complimenting the wedding album as they said Diana and Korey truly encapsulated our day and helped them relive it once more. I am so thankful that we have these memories memorialized through them and can't recommend this magical team enough!

Emily is someone I highly recommend to any brides/grooms looking for an affordable yet outstanding photographer.

Hey there! I'm Lindley Wilson! It's been a huge dream of mine to become a photographer, and a dream I put off for a very long time. So one day a handful of years ago I decided to go for it, bought myself a camera, and haven't looked back since! I am an Indianapolis based wedding photographer who absolutely loves capturing and getting to be a part of so many beautiful and exciting moments in the lives of others.

Imagery by Lindley stepped in & saved the day for my wedding photography! My 2020 wedding was falling apart in the midst of the pandemic & i was left without a photographer a week before the ceremony. Lindley happened to be available for my date. She showed up & was such a calming presence, so easy to work with, so comfortable to be in front of the camera for. She documented the day so beautiful & so perfectly & had a preview for me that same night! She’s become a great friend out of it & I couldn’t be more thankful. Stunning work that I couldn’t recommend more.

It's hard to imagine an 18 hour wedding day with 300 guests feeling "intimate." But Tina and her team worked seamlessly with all of our vendors - so we were able to catch our breath, and take a few needed minutes for ourselves. We were having so much fun, that we forgot we were actually posing. But my favorite photos are the ones that they took when we weren't looking or posing. It was so difficult picking out photos for our album because we love them all. Between our books and our prints, we have our house plastered. We are so glad we chose them.

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!

Hello! My name is Brenda and I've resided in SoCal all of my life. Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
I love photos and photography was one of my must have, high quality items for our wedding. Our original photographer had to back out (with plenty of time and notice) so we found ourselves back at the drawing board several months before the wedding. I found Brenda and loved that her images showed a diverse clientele - as a plus size bride with a SO over 6’ tall, that was something that really mattered to me. By the end of our Zoom meeting I wanted to hug her! I felt confident she was the right fit. When the big day came around, not only was her presence instantly calming (things had already been going wrong that morning) but she was incredibly helpful every step of the way, including trying to find a dropped earring, closing my necklace because everyone’s nails were too long, making sure I had space to take a break when my nerves overwhelmed me. We just got some of our sneak peeks in and wow…I’m crying all over again. She captured moments between my SO and I so beautifully, you can feel the love we have for each other. It sounds cliche, but it’s true! Not only were we pleased with Brenda, our guests and wedding party all had such kind things to say about her - how many weddings have you gone to and complimented the photographer, as a guest?! If her style is one that you like, don’t hesitate to hire Brenda. I can’t wait to take more photos with her as we grow old. She was an important part of our day and, for me, the best person to have by my side throughout the chaotic day. I was so happy to have her as part of our adventurers club.

I specialize in documenting weddings! I believe in images that are timeless, true to color, with a touch of moodiness and emotion. Photography is one of the biggest and most important investments you’ll make for your wedding day. Wedding photography isn’t just a financial investment. You’re also investing in a photographer who values and builds that relationship from the start, from planning a custom timeline with you, to going over all the details every step of the way leading up to the wedding day. I want my couples to be as involved in the creative process as I am. It’s all about the experience!

Chamblee and her husband John shot our wedding on 9/1/2019, and let me tell you, we were blown away!! Chamblee was easy to communicate with and always listened to my (sometimes neurotic) concerns and need for affirmation about detail and planning the shots. She is kind, thoughtful, and has incredible vision for capturing your special day. We got our photos back in a timely manner and they were even more beautiful than we could have imagined. Hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. Chamblee has even taken family photos for us, because lets face it, we would never be able to find someone more talented than her! You will not be disappointed if you hire her!

When I was looking for a wedding photographer, Sydney stood out against the rest of them. She is so quick to email you back, is friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of weddings. When it came to our engagement session she gave us ideas for locations and just made the whole experience so fun and easy. My husband hates his photos being taken and he enjoyed our engagement session and loved talking to Sydney's husband who was with her. When it came to our wedding day, Sydney has this awesome questionnaire that answers everything! There were questions on there I never even thought about!! She showed up early and found places for portraits and checked in on me. She's just the sweetest and made our day so special, even through the stressful parts. She was a blast at our reception dancing with everyone on the dance floor while taking photos, like I said she made the day even better. We were sitting in our hotel room the night of our wedding and I got a Facebook notification from Sydney Marie Photography, Sydney had posted 10 photos from our wedding, I couldn't believe it and it made me so happy. I can't thank Sydney enough for everything, if you're looking for a photographer do not hesitate and hire her.

Our guests RAVED about how great they were and how amazing the photos turned out. We'll cherish those for the rest of our lives!

Welcome to JFP, where passion meets precision. As a dedicated photographer by heart and an aerospace engineer by profession, I bring a unique perspective to capturing your most cherished moments. My goal is to create a seamless, luxurious experience for every couple, ensuring your wedding day flows effortlessly. I understand that your wedding is one of the most significant days of your life, and I’m committed to making it memorable. With an eye for detail and a knack for storytelling, I specialize in delivering a blend of documentary style images and classic portraits that reflect your unique love story.

Where do I even begin with this review?! Jennifer has been an absolute gift to work with throughout our wedding planning process, and now that we just go our sneak peeks back, we know we made the right choice with her! We did not use Jennifer for our engagement pictures, so I knew I was taking a risk when hiring her as our wedding day photographer. I was confident with what I saw on social media and our email correspondence ensured me that she would make a great fit for us. She was communicative along the entire way and was intentional when asking for our shot list. On the day of, it was very clear that she was very purposeful in capturing all of my preferred shots and made a dedicated effort to be present for each moment of the day. Jennifer was very professional and both her and her second shooter, Alex, found fun and creative ways to capture unique imagery from our ceremony and reception. She was attentive to our needs as a couple, made lots of great photo recommendations, and did not push us to do any pictures/poses we weren't into. Jennifer knew we wanted to be a part of cocktail hour and was happy to accommodate all of our formal pictures before the ceremony. She was discreet during the ceremony and captured lots of wonderful group shots at the reception. A week before the event she was happy to add on a few additional hours from our original contract. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

I am Marissa, a photographer, mom, and wife. When I am not behind the camera you can find me venturing around Chicago or the country with my family. We love adventures and I love a delicious plate of nachos… snickers and a fizzy water I AM SURE YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I DO WHAT I DO AND HOW I DO IT… I have always had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember… I mean even one of my daughter is named after a camera and the other is named after light.. I bet you can’t guess what their names are. I absolutely love being there to capture all moments in life… especially weddings.

Marissa was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her confident yet respectful communication style put us at ease through the entire process. She was thoughtful and organized in preparing for our big day, while also remaining flexible to last minute changes. Marissa's work is thorough and captures the essence of special moments with care. She helped guide my husband and I, not the most photogenic couple, into poses that felt natural. Additionally, Marissa was essential to the flow of our wedding by adding positivity and organization to what could have been chaos. She did a fantastic job ensuring beautiful photos while keeping things moving smoothly. I cannot recommend Marissa highly enough for her professionalism and quality of work.

Weddings are full of beautiful moments, family, happy tears and so much love. You can find me crying right alongside you, sharing this moment with you through parent dances and speeches. I love the chaos and joy of a wedding day and the importance of capturing those moments is never missed on me.

I love everything about photography - meeting new people, capturing raw emotions, being a part of special moments, giving images a crisp, timeless feel, and delivering memories that will be treasured forever. Each part is so, so special to me! Outside of photography, I love cheering on Husker football, traveling to new places, cuddling my cats, baking cookies, & decorating for holidays!

Laura did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. She was so easy to work with and very detailed going into the day which helped the day go so smooth. Wind was an issue on our wedding day and it didn't seem to phase her, she just rolled with it and adapted to the elements. Laura also did the videography for our wedding. We are so happy with how the pictures and videos turned out!! Highly recommend Laura for your wedding day photography!

Hi! My name is Nikholas, I am a wedding and special event photographer based in Arizona. My photography journey started about 8 years ago when I got my first camera as a gift, slowly evolving from a hobby into a passion that I pursue every day. Throughout my journey, I've always felt most drawn to working with people and documenting their emotions. We all live very unique and special lives and being able to capture and share those moments that are so real, so full of pure feeling is...amazing. The best photos are felt, not seen.

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Working with Heather is such a treat. She is kind and creates such a peaceful atmosphere. She has an incredible eye that will make anyone look like a Vogue cover. Her work is timeless yet stunning and will capture your special moments with care and ease.

Born and raised in Maine, I dream of one day retiring there by the sea, like a real life Miss Rumphius. But until then, I live just outside of Boston with my husband and our three cats. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, but we waited more than a decade before saying our own vows. Sometimes (okay, often) I eat cake for breakfast, so you can always count on me to help taste test yours. If I'm not photographing people in love, I'm probably enjoying a glass (bottle) of champagne on the couch or planning my next adventure. I believe everything is better by the ocean and you should never wait to explore the world.

We found Kendra on Instagram (yes, Instagram!) and instantly fell in love with her style. She is so personable and made us feel like ourselves in front of the camera, which included lots of giggles and following us around while we adventured for our engagement shoot. We picked Kendra as our wedding photographer for a lot of reasons, but initially because we loved her natural, bright and romantic aesthetic. As soon as we started working with Kendra, it was like we had been friends for a long time. She made us feel special and knew exactly what to say to capture our emotions and love for one another in the way that we expressed it, which sounds like a no brainer, but it can be challenging to feel "normal" when a new person is in front of you and taking your picture! In addition to being an incredible photographer, we turned to Kendra for her opinion and advice in some of our wedding decisions that we were having trouble making. Kendra gladly and professionally provided us with her input and even sent us some photos of examples of things we were considering that she had previously photographed so we had a visual. On the day of our wedding, from the moment Kendra arrived, she ran the show. I was so excited to see her and felt like she was a wedding guest that had arrived, but even though we developed an excellent rapport, Kendra meant business and was ready to do her job, so she got the ball really rolling. Shortly after her arrival, tension started to grow as we became closer and closer to the time of the ceremony and things didn't go exactly as we had planned them. Kendra had our backs and helped us to solve as many problems as we could, and make the best of the others that we had to move on from. This would be described under going "above and beyond the call of duty"! Kendra was there for us as our incredible photographer, but she wore many hats that contributed to the success of our wedding day. You should select Kendra as your wedding photographer if you want someone who is calm and personable, while delivering natural, bright and romantic photos. We are so grateful to Kendra for our beautiful photos and all of her help in making our day be a success!!

I'm a born and raised Michigander living out my coastal dreams in Southern California. I've always been passionate about photography. I've been behind a camera since 2010! I love spending sunsets with my clients and capturing their love and joy. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me exploring new restaurants, spending time with family and friends or curled up with my rescue pup, Huxley and a good book.

Athena is awesome! I don't generally like photo shoots...I never had so much fun!

I HIGHLY recommend Athena for any special moment you want to remember!
