Making personal connection with you is important to me. I believe in serving couples from every background and the more I learn about you the better I can serve you as your wedding photographer. I currently reside in DC but have also living in LA, The Bay Area, and Morocco.

If I could give Stefan ten stars, I would. Working with him was an incredible experience from start to finish. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and for the former he traveled to New York so we could do the shoot at a location that has a great deal of meaning to us. My husband and I are not people who are usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Stefan goes above and beyond to make sure he is prepared and that you are prepared to have the best shoot possible. He has detailed guides for both engagement and wedding shoots, which were incredibly helpful. He also meets with you to discuss your goals for the shoot, get to know who you are as a couple, and understand the vibe you are going for. Our engagement shoot was on a cold and windy day in a location unfamiliar to him and he did research, arrived early, and knocked it out of the park. For our wedding day, the timeline went exactly to plan and any stress or nerves I was feeling completely melted away because we already knew Stefan was on top of it, knew what we wanted from the day, and that we had a rapport going between us. On our wedding day, our friends and family absolutely gushed about Stefan and how great he is. I can't tell you how many times someone came up to me and said, "Who is your photographer? He is AWESOME." Stefan's style is authentic and he is incredibly skilled. The photos are breathtaking without seeming unnatural or overworked. He is great at capturing your vibe as a couple and making sure that comes through in the photos. He is so easy to get along with and can make even the least photogenic among us (pointing at myself here) comfortable in front of the camera. He is a great photographer and an even more delightful human being and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

When I began my business over 20 years ago, I made a conscious decision to stand apart from other planners. I wanted to be available, tuned in and ready for anything. I bring a unique skillset, a dedication and a very personal approach to my business. I do not offer packages, instead giving to each couple whatever they need from me- my time, my expertise, my network. Your wedding is my top priority! And, I resolve to make every wedding a smashing success. With a 30+ year background in hospitality and events, you won't find a planner with more knowledge or experience. I have traveled the East Coast making magic- Let's Make Yours!

Wendy planned my wedding and she was amazing at helping me plan. She wasn’t just my planner, she was also my confidante, best friend, and therapist for it, and she has kept up on our lives and accomplishments since the wedding. And now I’ve rehired her to plan my vow renewal in 2026, and thanks to her, we have it mostly planned already. You cannot find a better or more experienced planner, and she is the kindest, sweetest, and most humble person you will ever meet

Hi everyone! My name is Carol! I am a makeup artist based in South Jersey but I travel everywhere! I love what I do, I love being a part of your special day. I take pride in my work and truly enjoy working with you all every step of the way! I promise to make your glam dreams come true and keep myself affordable at the same time!

Communication leading up to the big day was fantastic - she responded quickly to emails and was very flexible when I had to make minor tweaks to the schedule. On the wedding day itself, Karol showed up right on time and immediately put me at ease with her warm personality. She asked questions to make sure she understood exactly the look I was envisioning. Once she started on my makeup, I was blown away by her skill, precision, and attention to detail. The final look was flawless and made me feel like the most beautiful bride. My makeup stayed perfect from the first look photos all the way through the reception dancing. I can't overstate how talented Karol is and what a joy she was to work with. Her rates were also very reasonable for the exceptional quality. I would enthusiastically recommend Makeup by Karol to any bride looking for a pro who will make you look and feel absolutely stunning!

Ryan Planning Plus is an inclusive celebration planning business located in the Central Pennsylvania area that offers multiple customizable packages ranging from basic day-of-event coordination to full event planning and design. The RP+ crew is armed with big hearts - and big spreadsheets - and cannot wait to go above + beyond for you! Reach out to schedule a complimentary discovery session to see if RP+ is a good fit for your event needs!

We booked Erin and her team with the Just the Deets package. This is her "lowest" level of service despite the thorough and consistent support she provided throughout the entire planning process. Erin is organized, readily available, and is a constant bright spot in wedding planning! She was a fantastic resource to bounce ideas off, ask questions, and make sure we were on track throughout our planning. She is a wealth of knowledge- especially if you are getting married at The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion, a venue she is at frequently and knows like the back of her hand! Erin will tell you her opinion when asked, but is always ready to jump in 110% no matter what you choose and make it happen (Sorry for making you nervous when we gave our crazy pup our actual rings!!!). She is ready to play the "bad guy" when you need a small army, and can fluently switch to whatever language groomsmen speak to wrangle them quickly for rehearsal. Knowing Erin and her team had the day HANDLED, I walked into my wedding day stress-free knowing that there was nothing I needed to do or worry about. I never would have guessed that I would have described myself as a calm bride the day of my wedding, but Erin made it easy. I was able to truly enjoy the day because of Erin, and I wouldn't trade that confidence or peace of mind for anything! If you're still looking around or debating whether or not to book with Ryan Planning Plus, do future you a favor and just book with them now! Unless you don't like feeling like a VIP client, would prefer to worry on your wedding day, or simply like to make bad choices... then sure, book elsewhere ;) Otherwise, if you want to have the smoothest wedding experience possible, book with Erin!!!

They made suggestions for songs as well as listened to our request on the overall vibe we wanted to created for our wedding reception. All of that was achieved.

Hi! I'm Chrissy. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings and meet tons of awesome couples since 2014. I'm based in Boston, MA but I'm always more than happy to travel anywhere your adventure takes you. My work has brought me as far as Tokyo and I'm so ready to explore more new places! In my down time I love to surf, paint, go to concerts, and watch horror movies. I'm full of useless astrology facts and I always have extra snacks with me.

Chrissy is a dream. She was SO cool, so professional, and really put us all at ease. We initially contracted with Chrissy to photograph our wedding, but when we had to postpone it, we asked her to also photograph the small marriage ceremony we ended up having on that day instead. She was fabulous to work with and her photos captured the low-key, intimate feeling of that day. I particularly love the way she captures small, truly candid moments; and her use of shadow and light. We are so excited to work with her again for our big wedding reception this summer! We recommend her to every couple we know!

My name is Naytza Pato, I'm from Puerto Rico, bilingual and living in Virginia for 12 years. I am passionate about decoration,coordination and planning because I believe they have the power to transform spaces and create meaningful experiences. It all started when 5 years ago I became the event coordinator of my church. We've been in official business for two years now and I LOVE what we do. Ultimately, what fuels my passion for decoration and planning is the ability to bring beauty and meaning into people's lives. It's the joy on someone's face when they walk into a space I've decorated and feel a sense of wonder or nostalgia.

From the moment we started planning our wedding with The Bliss & Co LLC, we knew we were in good hands. Naytza and her team were incredibly friendly, fast to respond, and highly professional throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day special was truly above and beyond. Naytza was amazing to work with - she made us feel reassured that everything would go smoothly, kept us informed every step of the way, and even came a day early to be at our rehearsal. Her great communication and ability to keep us on schedule made the whole experience stress-free. We would highly recommend working with The Bliss & Co LLC for any couple looking for an amazing wedding planning experience.

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Chris was great to work with start to finish! He did our engagement photos and then our wedding photos. My husband is not one who likes to smile normally for pictures, but Chris was able to always keep the mood fun and got smiles out of him! He communicated all information in a timely fashion and was always available when I had a question. He worked with my venue and the DJ to ensure all aspects of the wedding day were covered. The pictures turned out great and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day! Highly recommend!

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. Plus her easygoing personality meant we had fun doing it!

I’ll capture every smile shared, heartfelt tear shed, and dance move busted along the way so you can focus on enjoying the magic of your special day!

She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it really showed in the photos—each one perfectly captured the essence of our relationship. On the wedding day, Aireal was such a calming presence. She was organized, professional, and had a way of making everyone feel at ease, even in the midst of all the chaos. She caught every detail and emotion without us ever feeling like we were constantly posing for pictures. Our photos are beyond beautiful. She captured so many moments we’ll treasure forever, and the quality is exceptional. We even ordered prints through her gallery and they came out flawless. It’s obvious that Aireal is passionate about her work, and she truly goes above and beyond for her clients. If you’re searching for an LGBTQIA friendly wedding photographer who will capture your day with authenticity, creativity, and a personal touch, look no further.

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!

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

I catered a wedding for which Silvia Gilbert was the wedding photographer. She communicated with everyone very clearly on timelines. She was very professional and efficient and made everyone feel at ease. I would gladly work with Silvia again.

31 year old dog loving, anime watching, fun loving photographer here. Everyone is welcome with me. Sexual preference/orientation, race, religion... I am here for whoever needs me. I want all of my couples to feel safe and respected, to know that they can fully be themselves with nothing but love and acceptance on my end. Bring me all of the tattooed brides in black dresses, the whimsical fairy dress elopements, the dog people who have their babies sign their license, and people who want to *ehem* partake in the local CO offerings. Whatever brings you joy, I want to bring it to life in my photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are unsure who to book for your wedding, Makenzie should be your first choice. From our engagement shoot, to the wedding day itself Makenzie perfectly captured us as a couple and actually got great photos of us, neither one of us likes taking photos often. Our wedding would not have been the absolute dream that it was without the work of this wonderful woman. I am so grateful for what she has done for us, and I know she can do the same for many more happy couples, and I cannot wait to see the love she continues to capture throughout her career.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by :) I’m Lyndsey. I’m originally from Scranton, PA and have spent the past couple years bopping around the PNW exploring its vast beauty. Most recently I’ve planted my roots in Philly with my boyfriend and dog and it certainly feels like home! Although I mostly crave being out in nature I still thrive off of city life! My love for photography feeds my soul for both.

My style is best described as vintage with influences from old hollywood. I have worked every type of wedding and I love to travel!

Awarded Best of Zola
We feel so lucky to have found Andrew as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye for the editorial style and makes his photos into works of art with golden light and chiaroscuro. So many photographers just rely on their high-res equipment but don't offer anything more--I don't want a macro shot of every pore or line on my face like an owl in a tree at 100 yards, I want to have a sense of magic and beauty in every photo. Andrew actually does that. I almost cried when I saw our first look photos because I don't feel very confident being photographed and I finally had dozens of photos of myself and my husband that I want to share with friends immediately and cherish forever. He delivered the first look so fast, even though I know he was busy working another wedding; I thought for sure we would have to wait longer. The wedding package we chose included very nice touches like polaroids so we had something in hand at the end of the wedding day itself, too. It was very thoughtful and left us feeling good about the whole experience right away. He was very personal and nice to work with, but not intrusive, and went with the little schedule changes we had, and was open to suggestions while we took post-ceremony photos around the city. I couldn't be happier with our experience with him and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a real artist for their wedding photography.

My name is Maddie and I'm the photographer behind Eternally Wild. With a camera in hand, I capture stories that would have otherwise become lost - the ones memories can only hold for so long before they fade away. I capture nature and lovers and soulmates in their most fleetingly beautiful moments. I believe photography is magical. Photographs remember the past in vivid color and tell the best love stories without words. They are reminders that we were, are, and will always be eternally wild.

Right from the start Maddie was so sweet to work with, she made us both feel very comfortable with posing and we had so much fun!! And the pictures came out better than I could dream of!

Daniel and Andre are the absolute best team! We had the pleasure of doing a little doggy photo shoot with our elderly yellow lab before our wedding providing an opportunity to meet Daniel before our big day. He’s a fun guy! We had great conversations, received guidance on poses (we needed it ), and had an overall fantastic experience getting some beautiful shots. Fast forward to our wedding day. Daniel and Andre are a force to be reckoned with. From the moment they got to our venue to the end of the night they never stopped! They got all the photo and video shots using unique angles, candid moments, staging moments, and running around in between to make it all happen. I would hire both of these talented gentlemen in a heartbeat and recommend them to all friends and family. Thank you both for capturing our day!

We had our wedding reception at a brewery and wanted some easy to eat sweet and salty snacks. These popcorn flavors were delicious, they sent us flavors to try before we decided. We chose 4 flavors and they shipped them right to our house. The popcorn buckets had our cute custom labels which they designed for us and looked PERFECT! We had tons of compliments on the popcorn. We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!

I absolutely love LOVE. I would love to capture your love story and give you images you will cherish for a lifetime. Capturing beautiful images is important but to me capturing beautiful moments is the most important. I’m a big fan of morning walks with my family, running, cycling, hiking, good music, sunny days, last minute trips, and apple products. I love Jesus, my wife, my daughter Harper, my son Smith, traveling, experiencing new cultures, my family, and helping others. As a husband, I firmly believe in marriage and want to do my best to capture all that it means to get married and to celebrate that with you through photography.

Let me just start by saying that Adam is ABSOLUTELY worth the hype. From the moment we first spoke over the phone I knew he cared just as much about our wedding as we did. He understood how important photographic memories are to me and went above and beyond to capture genuine moments throughout the night. He brought a contagious professional yet fun energy that kept everyone feeling welcome and relaxed all day which made for beautiful photos. If you and your partner are not sure how you’ll feel in front of the camera… no worries! I can attest that Adam doubles as your professional hype man from the moment he arrives. He made me and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera and the proof is in the photos. Adam truly does it all! You won’t regret having him as part of your day!
