We had decided on a "planned elopement" with just the two of us at the DC Superior Court. Josh captured our experiences from start to finish. He created terrific posed photos that as well as encouraging us to laugh, joke and be ourselves. His recommendations for photo backgrounds are memorable in an architectural manner and put the focus on us as a couple. Highly recommend for those of you on a 2nd or 3rd marriages where you want memorable but understated documentation.

  • Serves Fortuna, CA for additional fees

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Candace on Instagram and could feel her warm and kind personality through a screen. We FaceTime to get to meet each other and discuss some questions we had before we made a final decision! We loved her editing style and by looking at her previous galleries we could FEEL the fun people had. Our wedding was small and family oriented so it was special to us to capture sweet moments as well as our massive party! She captured all of that. We love looking back at our wedding pictures.

Marilyn Lamanna Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Fortuna, CA for additional fees

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t say better things about Marilyn if I tried. She was the first photographer who’s portfolio we fell for in our search, and while trying to budget and explore other options, we made our way back to Marilyn and questioned why we ever even bothered looking anywhere else. We did a round of engagement photos with her first, after an initial zoom to meet and get to know her. From the zoom alone we could tell right away what kind of sweet, wonderful, magical person she was. I felt like I was talking to an old friend immediately. During our engagement shoot, which myself and my now husband were SO nervous for (we are both awkward and camera shy, and I don’t know how to stop running my mouth during photos because of it) she made us laugh SO many times and immediately melted our anxieties away. We knew we made the perfect choice in a person to take care of us on our wedding day in that moment. We have so far received our previews, and we are simply in love. Marilyn captured intimate moments, fun moments, and beautiful, emotional moments that helped us feel like we were reliving our day all over again. She guided us through the day, took us to the best spots, got the photos we asked for, all without either of us having to think about a single thing or logistic at any point. She was on it. She is and was such a treat and added the kindest most comforting attitude and energy to our day, and all of our family and bridal party agree along with us (we got quite a few “where and how did you find her??”s). We also added a second shooter via Marilyn (who was also sincerely lovely) for just one hour, during our pre-ceremony and ceremony, for a little extra coverage and timeline speed, and a roll of film which was so much fun too. If you love artistic and stylized photos, and are seeking someone with both a great eye and wonderful, calming presence, I mean it, look no further. We are so happy we found Marilyn.

Photography By Cambrae

  • Serves Fortuna, CA for additional fees

I am a Portland native through and through! My love for photography rivals only my love of traveling. My interest in photography began at a young age, thanks to my Uncle and 8th grade math teacher. After over 18 years of experience, I have mastered the art of putting my clients at ease and creating an environment for them to be present and most importantly be themselves. I have a deep passion for not only the images I create but for the people I work with. I truly consider it an honor to be a part of someone’s wedding day and the images we create together become reflective memories for the couple, not just snapshots in time.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first reached out to Photography By Cambrae, we were impressed by their quick replies and friendly communication style. Cambrae was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, providing us with a detailed timeline to ensure our wedding day photos went smoothly. She was patient and creative when trying to capture photos with our sweet dog River, and made the entire photo session fun and relaxed for everyone involved. Cambrae's attention to detail and ability to pose us perfectly resulted in photos that beautifully captured the joy and love of our special day. We are thrilled with the high-quality work Cambrae delivered and would recommend her to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Hey y’all! My name's Gabriella, I love sunshine and I'm a documentary-style wedding & engagement photographer based in Philadelphia. I'm a hopeless romantic and I adore documenting love stories with my camera in a beautiful & compelling way. Basically, I’m a down-to-earth gal from Pennsylvania who got hooked on the travel bug at college in Georgia (go dawgs!!), has a passion for storytelling and absolutely loves love. Running, biking and chasing sunsets are my favorite pastimes. I’m team coffee AND team tea. I dream real big and I’m full of ambition. Oh, and I'm not just you wedding photographer ... I'm your new friend :)

Awarded Best of Zola
When Joe and I were looking for our wedding photographer, we wanted someone whose photography used natural light and whose subjects seemed at ease. We also wanted someone who would make sure our awkward selves felt comfortable in front of the camera. Gabriella checked all of our boxes. From our first email communication, Gabriella exuded joy and kindness. These traits matched the essence of her photos as well. She was extremely flexible when our schedules forced us to change our wedding date early on. She went above and beyond to attend an open house at our venue to meet us in person and to gain a sense of where our reception would be. When it came time for our engagement photos, Gabriella immediately put Joe and I at ease in front of the camera by playing great music and incorporating some amazing prompts that resulted in amazing photos. Joe and I cannot recommend Gabriella enough! Not only is she incredibly professional, but she is extremely talented in her vision for photos and getting her couples to ignore the camera and be their authentic selves. We are overjoyed with the final results of our wedding photos and we are so grateful we chose Gabriella to be our photographer!

Here's what you should know: First, it's pronounced Sokol like 'vocal'. We're Polish... like kraut-and-pierogi-at-every-family-gathering-Polish. Second, we're a husband and wife wedding photography duo that believes it's the little things that make the story come to life. From the knowing glances across a crowded room to the hand squeezes when you're about to walk down the aisle, you can trust us to capture your most romantic, candid moments.

From the moment we first spoke with Savannah, we knew we were in good hands. Her communication style was clear, open, and extremely organized, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, Savannah's friendly and calming presence was invaluable - she helped set the tone and kept everything running smoothly so that all the special moments were captured beautifully. The quality of her work is truly unique and personal; it's evident that Savannah takes the time to get to know each couple she works with. The final photos were nothing short of stunning, and we've continued to enjoy following Savannah’s creative work even after our big day. We couldn't recommend her more highly - you'll definitely have no regrets booking Savannah and her team for your wedding!

With photography, I don't say "I have to go to work" I say "I get to!" I've been behind the camera for over 8 years now and have enjoyed every moment of it. My goal is not to gain a portfolio but new friends, and I do everything I can for my friends. I like to make sure with every couple that I'm finding the best way to serve them. I want every step of the way to feel fun and free and to take away the stress of wedding planning. Getting you beautiful photos and helping you relive your day is what I'm here for!

Awarded Best of Zola
Caden was fantastic to work with! He went out and scouted several areas, but was also flexible when we requested a specific venue location for our elopement. Caden captured so many precious moments and truly took into consideration our vision and what was most important to us. I wasn’t even aware as he was all over the place capturing gorgeous candid shots. We’re obsessed with the end results. The pictures perfectly capture the mood/vibe of eloping in the mountains and the pure joy that follows. Also great at posing suggestions and making you comfortable in front of the camera!

Hi! I'm Sarah. Congratulations on taking the next step in your wedding planning! Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

Awarded Best of Zola
There is not enough good things we can say about Sarah! From day 1, she had great communication before the proposal while deciding the perfect location and how we would meet up with her. She executed flawlessly and I never saw her until the ring was on my finger even though she followed us for a bit before the big moment. She made us feel so comfortable for the photoshoot after and was willing to go to a few different spots with us all while carrying all of our stuff so it wouldn’t be in our pockets for the pictures. We received the sneak peeks the next day and were blown away with how well they turned out, she nailed it!! She got the big “I do” moment which was most important and then captured so many other sweet moments right before and after that I will forever be so grateful we can relive because of her photos. The best thing about her is that you can feel the joy coming out of the screen when you look through her galleries. So many people have raved over how well our engagement photos turned out. Everyone should book Sarah, she is so great at what she does!!

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots. My favorite things are dinosaurs, exploring new cities, board games, soccer, National Parks, and whiskey. I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my partner, two dogs, and four cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I turn 9 this year 🥳!

Awarded Best of Zola
I could write a book about Leah; or at least a very detailed blog post but I'll try to keep it shorter! As a fellow professional photographer, I got the opportunity to meet Leah and work with her as her 2nd photographer on a wedding. It took that one amazing experience and absolute blast of a time to know that whenever it was I got married she was THE photographer for me. Fast forward some years later it was finally my turn to tie the knot and my now husband and I chose our date based on when Leah was available, because there was no other option for me! I have gotten to work with dozens of photographers throughout my going on 10 year career, and I'm telling y'all, it doesn't get better than Leah. The photos - amazing! I love her eye for details, the crispness, the colors! Not to mention she is such a beautiful soul with the best personality and energy, with the professionalism to get a gallery worth of beautiful photos with you barely realizing she's there. While going through our gallery, I was stunned and overjoyed so many times to see things I had NO idea happened or even photos of people that I unfortunately didn't get to spend much time with yet seeing that they still enjoyed themselves. In my opinion, a photographer is the most important vendor you can choose for your wedding day. I am so thankful my experience in the wedding industry allowed me to cross paths with Leah because that made a really important decision very easy for me. And I hope my review can help other soonlyweds out there make a hard decision easier. You will not go wrong choosing Leah to photograph your big day!

Christine went above and beyond to help us with wedding photography and delivered the wedding photos we hoped for. We had our photographer fall through at the last minute and had previously connected with Christine. Although she wasn't available for our full day, she connected us with a colleague who was able to fill in and handled all the photo editing. She also went an extra mile to meet the groomsmen for an extra photoshoot while the other photographer was with the bridal party. We are so grateful for all her time and effort to make our day special. The photos Christine took of the groomsmen were amazing!! They're so fun and captured the best moments. We were very happy with the editing and delivery was so fast after the wedding. Cannot recommend her more if you want bright, beautiful photos and to work with someone who truly cares about making your day and the photos perfect.

  • Serves Fortuna, CA for additional fees

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

We are SO glad we hired Laura to photograph our wedding. She was so fun and easy to work with. She thought of everything, asked all the right questions, and had us plan everything out in advance so we didn't have to make any decisions or answer questions day-of. She was extremely communicative and knew the venue (Stratton) even better than we did so was able to make great recommendations that we hadn't thought of. She did our engagement shoot as well and they are my favorite photos ever taken of us as a couple. She was also very unobtrusive the day of -- I barely noticed she was there. She was able to get all the photos we wanted but we didn't feel like we spent the entire night posing for photos and were actually able to enjoy our reception and spend time with our guests. Laura is an all-around GEM of a human being and her photography skills are A+++++++!!!
