I am a Wedding and Event Photographer from Fort Worth, Tx. I am new to Zola and I absolutely love it! I started in Family Lifestyle Photography in 2015 and now have recently fully transitioned to Wedding and Event Photography full time. Some events we photograph are: Bridal Showers, Rehearsal Dinners, Baby Showers, Gender Reveals, Sweet 16’s, and much more including Corporate Events. Our time spent together will be unforgettable and I promise you will make a friend for life with me! :)

We absolutely LOVED working with Erica. She was recommended by a dear friend to photograph our wedding as well as my bridals and she did so good! She is scheduled to shoot several of my friends events as well. We adore her and you are missing out if you don’t book with her! She is easy on the pocket book AND a joy to be around.

I am so stinkin’ happy that you’re here! My name is Brittany + I’m a wedding photographer from New Bedford, MA. Photographing couples + their love story sets my soul ON FIRE! Your love story is unique. Through all of your trials + tribulations, your story deserves to be told in a way that is true to you. Here, you’re allowed to be yourself. Let’s showcase your love in its most authentic form. My approach is to create a relaxed + comfortable atmosphere that allows you to be yourself. As a documentary style photographer, my promise to you is that I will capture the moment exactly as it unfolds.

Britt was amazing to work with! We booked her "To the Moon Back" package. From our first inquiry, Britt was great with communication. We could tell she was very detail-oriented and truly cared about what we wanted for our wedding day, and she captured our vision perfectly. She listened to all of our concerns and helped us problem-solve. She even put together customized style-boards for our engagement shoot, which was a huge help, because I was clueless on how to dress us! We brought our dog with us to our engagement shoot and Britt brought along treats and a toy to keep our dog entertained throughout the shoot. We were very impressed with our engagement pictures, and our wedding pictures blew us away! I still cry when looking through them (4 months later) because her pictures bring me right back to our wedding day. Britt captured SO many pictures of our day! Looking through our gallery, it's like reliving the most important day of our life all over again. I am so thankful to Britt for the beautiful memories she captured for us. There are a lot of pictures of things that I didn't even notice on our wedding day! Britt was very easy to work with. Both myself and my husband are very awkward in front of the camera. The way that Britt shoots made us forget we were even being photographed. Because of that, our pictures capture our real emotions from our wedding day, instead of forced smiles and awkward poses. I could not recommend Britt more. I will absolutely be booking with her again for future shoots.

Hello, I'm Kayla! Voted most likely to succeed in the field of agriculture. Yet somehow, landed here. And I wouldn't change a single thing. Life has taken me on some crazy adventures and up until 6 years ago, none of those pointed to being a photographer. Becoming a mom led me to pick up a camera and since then I haven't put it back down. I quickly developed a passion for telling people's stories. Capturing the most intimate, heartfelt moments truly sets my soul on fire.

Kayla French Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Kayla provided great communication everything leading up to the wedding and after, and the day of she couldn't have been more helpful. Kayla's work is absolutely amazing - you can tell she loves what she does and it really shows in the beautiful photos she captured. Kayla helped in every way to contribute to our special day, and our guests really enjoyed her presence and positive energy. We are thrilled with the sneak peaks and can not wait to see final photos. We would highly recommend Kayla French Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephen James Films made the best wedding videos we could have imagined and we are so happy that we have the videos to last for the rest of our lives! We initially did not plan to hire a videographer for our wedding and I'm so happy we changed that mindset! We had conveniently met them at another wedding, just a few months prior while my husband was fascinated by their drone. We instantly connected and started chatting about the what if they came to our wedding. After seeing some of their previous videos, we knew we needed to have them come. Throughout planning, we kept them in the loop and got to know them more as we finalized the plans. Stephen and Rosie travel throughout the country and included a date night video in our package which we got to know them further and spend some fun time outside of wedding talk with them. This was such a unique offer and while it was only a 60sec video, the quality of what was produced from being on a date night with them really made us know we made the right decision. The videos from our wedding were quickly turned around and we have had multiple friends ask us for their contact. They got all the details and channeled our vision and vibes from the wedding to the videos.

Sonia is doing my makeup for my wedding and did my spray tan for my bridal shower. I had never gotten a spray tan before and was nervous of looking orange or not being even but Sonia eased all my worries and made me feel super comfortable. I got so many compliments on my tan at my shower. So many people were shocked when i told them it was a spray tan because they said it looked so natural. I will be coming back for my bachelorette and wedding weekend!! Can’t recommend enough!

Hi there! We're a husband and wife photography team that loves capturing genuine emotion and real moments at your wedding. We believe that there's magic in everything, and our goal as your storytellers is to capture that magic in a way that's honest and true to who you are. We focus on the unique elements that tell the tale of your day, so your final wedding gallery has a timeless storybook feel.

Jaime & Eddie were the photography duo of our dreams. Their balance of artistry and realism comes together to make the most beautiful images that capture the joy and emotion of our day, while still hitting on all the major “bridal” points. From the beginning, Jaime and Eddie vibed so well with us, really taking our vision for engagement photos to the next level (even driving us around Boston in their car to find hidden gems). They took the lead on ensuring our wedding timeline was well rounded and encompassed everything we wanted to do for the day (even taking the curve ball of a boat ride in the middle of cocktail hour in stride). Although they had never shot our venue before, they drove over on their own time ahead of the weekend to walk around the property - truly going the unnecessary extra mile. The results of their calm and professional, yet fun and lighthearted nature are incredibly beautiful. A mere day or two after our wedding, we had dozens of stunning sneak peeks to look through and share. A month later, we are still getting compliments on how amazing they were in person and how beautiful the finished product is. Could not recommend them more!

Today, Bluebird Bouquets shares these meaningful moments with others through thoughtfully crafted floral pieces for life's special moments.

We loved working with Haley for our wedding! She immediately picked up on our vision and shared so many great ideas. We wanted bright and bold fall colors and she absolutely delivered. She respected our budget and offered creative solutions when our ideas were outside of the budget. Haley was flexible when we woke up to pouring rain on the day of the wedding and I texted her at 6am. The original ceremony plan was to make a flower wall out of hedges at the venue, but she came up with a plan to accomdate the indoor ceremony space. I also loved our bridesmaid bouquets. We wanted monochrome for their mismatched dresses, and they all looked perfect. Haley even made a mini bouquet for our 8month old flower girl, matching her mother's dress. Everything looked absolutely beautiful and we couldnt be happier with the flowers!!

I photograph love because I believe in it. I don’t believe in it in the way that a little girl believes in ferries or unicorns, a hopeful “I think it is real” kind of a belief, I believe in its power. I believe that love is the most important emotion we will feel in this lifetime and I believe it has the greatest ability for good. I believe that each human on this earth should have the opportunity to feel deeply loved and to love another deeply themselves. I believe that love is something that should be treasured, cared for, and celebrated.

My husband and I loved working with Allison she understood our vision and had the best personality. She was organized and helped us to prepare for the day with a plan of the photos we wanted. She definitely understood our vision and captured amazing photos of us in all the places we wanted.

I knew I would hire him for our wedding as well. Let me just say I was not disappointed in the decision.

Although I am a New England native, I am now based in Atlanta, GA. I am willing to travel across all 50 states and internationally to provide wedding and event planning services.

Solange is top notch! We decided to do day of coordination (full support starting a month prior to the wedding) and I wish we had committed to full planning with her because it would have been worth it! She was patient, kind, very organized, an excellent listener and brought to together all of our ideas seamlessly. Solange made excellent recommendations along the way proving her depth of experience while helping ensure ours was fun, beautiful, and unique including vendor recs, ceremony flow suggestions, and timeline. She rounded up all the vendors to review contracts and day of timeline and communicated questions and details through to post wedding day. She developed shared documents that helped keep us organized and her in the loop throughout the planning process. She even did some printing for us with a local printer. She checked in with us throughout the wedding planning and on wedding day. I'm sure we threw her some curveballs but she KILLED IT! We have had so many compliments about our wedding and hands down the KEY is having someone like Solange make sure your big day feels easy and magical. I'll be forever grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone. You won't regret it!

My husband and I recently got married September 2023 at Hotel Providence in Rhode Island. Planning a wedding was one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. Finding the perfect vendor for each part of your wedding is hard. I spent many many days privately messaging people and trying to see who fits what I need for this day. I came down to the DJ. I found Josh of D and J entertainment. I read all his positive reviews and decided to give him a call. He without hesitation answered all my questions and drove from Massachusetts to Rhode Island to meet with us. Josh hands down is one of the coolest people you can talk to. He is very honest but in a good way. He lets you know was popular with weddings now and helps you out his spin on it. Josh’ company has amazing pricing. They are able to accommodate all weddings. With so much you have to pay for on this day it’s nice paying someone and feeling like your money is actually going to be used well with him. They arrived hours before the ceremony to set up. The hotel loved the company too and how polite they were. Josh came prepared with all the music we requested to hear that day. From the minute we walked down the isle to when everyone left. Josh kept playing amazing music. All night I wasn’t let down once by the song choice. In some areas the venue messed up on a few things. Example the cake cutting and first dance. The hotel really didn’t nail timing so josh Took complete control of the wedding and saved it truly. He made sure my cake cutting and first dance were memorable because the hotel slipped with this. Nothing like a DJ who saves the day too. The best part of it all while DJing Josh found time to take so many photos. He wasn’t asked or required to do so. He took it upon himself to take more professional photos for us. That’s what I call above and beyond. Couldn’t believe he went that far out of his way for us. Thank You josh and all of d and J entertainment. You made the Soares wedding the biggest success. We will never forget you or your amazing spirit and drive to make others day unforgettable.

A true artist at heart, Danielle has spent over twenty-five years behind a camera. For over a decade she has specialized in recording couples and families in some of their most joyous moments. Utilizing both digital and film, she documents not only the major moments, but the minor moments, too, that sometimes go amiss: the grandmother gazing fondly at the new generation. The proud tearful eyes of a parent watching as their child embarks on an exciting new chapter. Big or small, with her trained eye Danielle captures every brushstroke to fully realize the memory of your special day.

You will not regret having Danielle capture your special day. She has photographed at least 2 weddings in my family - and we always trust Danielle and her photographic genius capture our most important moments.
