Cayleigh Ely Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Gardendale, AL for additional fees

I love mexican food, cats (and dogs!), and iced coffee. Books are my best friends, and I also double as a yoga teacher when I'm not doing photography related things. I have a weird obsession with fuzzy socks and I prefer movies over TV shows. Now on to the typical things you want to know about my journey in photography...I got my first camera in 2009 and basically haven't put it down since! I studied photography at Savannah College of Art and Design and started my freelance photography career when I graduated in 2016!

Awarded Best of Zola
If I had to describe Cayleigh in one word, it would be fantastic! When I was look for a photographer I really wanted someone who would mesh well with my husband as he is not very photogenic, or should I say camera shy. Cayleigh worked very well with him and got him to come out of his shell! We did and Engagement shoot, 10 hours for our wedding, and will be doing some maternity photos here in a couple months as well! If you are looking for someone who is friendly, and gets creative with any type of person she is your girl!

Suzanna is a fantastic wedding planner. She was very communicative and receptive to what we envisioned and gave us fitting options to guide us in the direction we wanted to go. She was flexible and accommodating when we ended up changing our mind about a certain design element (especially the floral arrangements lol) and when it came to the day of, she delegated tasks expertly and got everything set up exactly how we wanted and then some. I don’t plan on getting married again, but if I did, I’d hire her again without a second thought!

Ally was amazing to work with from start to finish! For our engagement photos, she edited and had them back to us in a week. For our wedding photos, we got sneak peeks back in just 2 days! She was early to each session, friendly, and incredibly helpful with the wedding timeline. We are usually shy in front of the camera, but Ally knew the best angles, lighting, and areas for photos, making us feel comfortable and confident. She is super sweet and patient, and we can't thank her enough for capturing moments that we will forever cherish. We adore every single photo and we will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!

Born and raised in the Metro Detroit area. DJ iamchase is not just the #1 Celebrity Dj in West Michigan. He is also a Tour Dj, Record Breaker, and a Host. All while DJing Weddings, Corporate events, Concerts, and Night Clubs.

We had Terrell as our DJ for our wedding and could not be more happy with him! It was a little nerve racking having a meeting so close to the big day but Terrell and Derek both made us feel comfortable that everything would go smoothly. On the day of the wedding Terrell was at a venue he has never worked at before but set up and communication was seamless. He kept the party going and had the dance floor packed all night (one of the most important things for us that night). We didn't give him a playlist; just more like some guidelines and he did an amazing job. He came up to me and my husband to ensure we were happy (and even fed!). He communicated with me and the photographer to ensure all the big moments were captured before the photographer had to leave which was so nice because the thought to do that had not even occurred to me. We can not wait to recommend them more to anyone getting married or throwing an event. Thank you so much Terrell and Derek!!!!

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your story in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

My name is Steph Stanglin and I am an experienced wedding and special event planner! My goal is to create lifelong memories for my couple through beautiful, customized bridal events. Some fun facts about me are: I have 2 cats (Milo and Kiro) and 1 dog (Rory), My goal is to visit every state and continent before I turn 40, I'm a certified Swiftie, and Reality TV and chocolate are my guilty pleasures. Most likely to be seen carrying a binder and crying at first looks and vows.

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on. I cannot recommend Steph enough. She is wonderful and sweet and kind and I cannot believe I found her! We could not have done it without her.

Stokes is great at making the long wedding photo shoots an enjoyable activity! My husband hates taking photos and even he didn’t mind them! Stokes even got genuine smiles out of him. She’s also easy going, so if you don’t like something or want to try something different, she’s going to work with you. She just wants you to love your photos! I requested minimal editing, and our photos came out very natural, beautiful, and professional at the same time.

Based in the heart of the Midwest, our event staffing company specializes in providing exceptional corporate event staff, event staffing, and convention staffing for sporting events, private functions, concerts, and more. Our mission is simple: to infuse every event with outstanding service and vibrant professionalism.

Setting up and planning everything with the person online was wondering and really gave me high hopes! Everything went super smoothly. They gave me a comprehensive shopping list and helped finesse all the recipes for our mocktail bar. Also checked in a few times prior to the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page. Now the bartender who came was a different story. She forget several of her tools needed including knives for all the garnishes. I had bought quite a bit of oranges, lemons, limes etc. She was also incredibly rude and several people remarked to me about that during the wedding day and after the wedding. She looked miserable and angry the whole time at the wedding. The only time I went to the bar, she wasn’t there and after about 10 minutes of waiting around, she came back and I asked to try all my mocktails and she gave me a judgy look and said that she was already made a drink for the bride earlier. I asked again and finally after my husband asked with me she made them but reluctantly. Mind you, this was a nonalcoholic bar. Overall liked Bucky’s, but the bartender was who worked with them was having an off day.

Jay Dee Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Gardendale, AL for additional fees

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

Hi I’m Jeff, of Jeff Jansen Photography! Planning a wedding takes a lot of time and effort and can be incredibly stressful. You invest a lot of emotion and energy into your big day. Let Jeff Jansen Photography take some of the stress out of your wedding day. As your wedding photographer, we answer emails quickly, so you don’t have to stress waiting for an answer to your questions, and setting up extra meetings just to help calm the nerves? It’s our pleasure! We will always show up a little early and are very attentive to our client’s requests. We’re here for you from booking to after the last dance when the lights go down.

Hiring a GREAT photographer should be one of the first and most researched vendors for any event. Your location can be beautiful, you share special moments in the lush tropical settings Florida offers, and you are surrounded by love...but no professional photos? You will definitely regret not hiring a professional photographer. Yes, your iPhone can take good pics - but there is absolutely no comparison to that of a professional - especially capturing bright sunlight or sunsets. Your phone can only do so much! As a vendor in the wedding industry I am very fortunate to work with many skilled professionals but some are on a completely different level of quality, talent, professionalism, and service. There are very few photographers that I "put on a pedestal" but Jeff (and Nancy) are exceptional. Their quality of images and the varied shots they are able to capture on wedding day (without even knowing they are there) - is mind blowing. They are fun to work with and have such a creative eye behind the lens. I highly recommend Jeff Jansen Photography, without a doubt.

Hi - I'm Lizzie! I am a story teller and professional hype woman who is dedicated to preserving your legacy through imagery. It is a privilege being trusted to photograph your wedding and it is not a responsibility that I accept lightly. I truly believe that the only things left after your wedding day are the photos and the marriage. Every couple has a unique story. I take the time to get to know my clients so that I can capture their wedding day in an honest and personalized way. I will work side-by-side with your wedding planner in order to create a custom, photo-friendly timeline that will ensure that my team captures every moment.

I spent a lot of time deliberating which photographer to choose. Lizzie Baker’s work really stood out. Her photography is truly a work of art and the passion comes across not only in her pictures but in how she engages with you end to end. Lizzie was one of my favorite vendors to work with and she truly made our wedding day better. We are delighted with how she captured our wedding, the scenery, and all the details and moments that you want to be able to look back on. Lizzie was always one step ahead of the program which was a huge benefit. She had great ideas for shots and her approach and personality kept us at ease during the planning process and throughout wedding day. Lizzie is not just an amazing photographer - she really is your hype woman, wedding day extraordinaire, and someone you will be happy to have at your side. People say you spend a significant amount of time with your photographer which proved to be true! We are so glad it was with Lizzie.

We are husband/wife team consisting of Erica and Tyson, who have been married for almost 17 years and capturing hundreds of weddings for almost 13 years. We are both born and raised in the Greater Jackson MS area and serve clients within Mississippi and beyond. Together we've built a beautiful life with 4 kids. Once a nurse, I now devote myself to full-time wedding photography, a decision I've never regretted. I adore that my clients are more than just clients, they truly become treasured friends. My photography style is a blend of authenticity and vibrancy, ignited by chasing sunsets and capturing that magical golden light.

I found Erica Burleson Photography to be so fun to work with, they felt like friends. They were easy going, and gave direction when needed. I was the matron of honor and can’t wait to see all the pictures from the wedding! Highly recommend 10/10!!!

Hiring Cheryl to handle our wedding weekend photography was, hands down, one of our best decisions leading up to the big day. Throughout the months leading up to our wedding, she was communicative, understanding, collaborative, and responsive. On the weekend itself, she and her partner, Will, were a nice addition of consistency and patience in a day that threw us more than a few curveballs. Their attention to detail, artistic vision, and genuine sense of adventure and fun made us confident that they had the pictures all under control. Having now received those pictures, we can unequivocally say that Cheryl is more than worth her weight in gold. We now have photos of not only ourselves and our family, but also of every single guest at our wedding, candids and portraits alike, that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. From rehearsal dinner to afterparty, she captured every detail with a thoughtful and fun loving gaze. Her joy and love for her craft comes through in every image. You can tell that she puts as much effort into the editing and curation of the gallery as she does in preparing for the day. We truly cannot recommend Cheryl Cole Photography enough. If you’re reading this, just book them already.

Hi friends! I'm so glad you stopped by my site. I'm Kallie, and this is my business, my creative outlet, my dream, and my vision. I graduated high school in 2017, where I continued to pursue my love for photography. I gradually started building a photography clientele base by shooting family sessions, seniors, and couples. In 2018 I started second shooting weddings and quickly fell head over heels for them! I had been around weddings my whole life helping with decorating and catering, which is what I think blinded me from seeing how amazing it is to be able to capture a love-soaked wedding day.

Kallie was so easy to work with and made our intimate wedding come to life!! We initially met over coffee and went over everything (location, mandatory shots, etc.) We switched locations multiple times and she was very accommodating to our request(s). The pictures came out AMAZING and we got so many compliments!

I'm Leena a Seattle-based wedding and elopement photographer deeply rooted in storytelling, nature, and adventure. Growing up surrounded by the lush landscapes of Washington, my passion for capturing love stories blossomed alongside my love for the outdoors. My journey into photography felt like a natural evolution, merging my love for the wilderness with my desire to tell meaningful stories. Partnering with me means more than just hiring a photographer; it's inviting a friend who cares deeply about your journey. I'm dedicated to crafting authentic experiences that reflect your unique love story.

Leena has taken my family pictures, our first look pictures, and my wedding pictures and they all have turned out great. We have been able to blow them up and hang them in our home and the quality of them is amazing. She is such a fun photographer and we really enjoyed working with her. We really appreciate her being able to capture our memories in such a wonderful way so that we can have them forever.

At Enchanted Weddings by B&K, our passion for event coordination is the heart and soul of our business. It is this love for creating memorable and flawlessly executed events that drives us to provide the highest level of service to our clients. We understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and we are committed to making it perfect in every way.

Brianna and Karin were absolute rockstars! They took on a super difficult task due to the nature of the venue -- an DIY outdoor center with no cell phone reception, and key sites separated by a 0.3 mile gravel path, plus literally 7 different locations for all the different events (rehearsal, his and hers getting ready, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, and food storage cabin). Oh, also the venue team has never hosted a wedding before!!! B&K handled it perfectly. I truly don't know what we would have done without them. Thank you for helping make it such a truly unique and special day.

Hi! I'm Erin. I've been in the photography business since 2008. My passion for capturing perfect moments grew immensely when my babies came along. I didn't want to miss a thing! One of the things I love most about weddings is that no two are alike. I am blessed to be able to experience each and every unique day. I am married to the most precious husband I could ever dream of. We have five children and lots of pets. I enjoy spending time with my family and pets, being outdoors in nature, exploring, reading, cooking, and rescuing animals.

Erin is truly an amazing person to work with and I highly recommend her as a photographer!

Tasteful Tea Photography

My style is documentary/editorial. I love an image that looks like it was taken on a film camera, and I'm a huge fan of the modern-day blur. However, I know it's important to get the MUST grab traditional photos if the couple want's them! I'm a huge fan of flash photography as well as natural light. I've been taking photos for seven years while I have owned my own wedding band that has performed all throughout the south. I think it's important to laugh and it's even more important that you feel like you look your best.

I want to set the tone. I’m a single mom who met the man of her dreams after moving to a rural city from Atlanta. He decides he wants to marry me very quickly and I have only a few months to plan a wedding. My budget is extremely small, but my family is very large. No matter what, there’s going to be at least 100 people there. It’s a month before the big day, and I’m frantically trying to find a photographer within my price range. My cousin finds Tasteful Tea and Charissa…essentially making the best possible decision ever for my wedding. She’s sweet, kind, and talented; willing to meet you where you are as far as planning or vision. She helping me pull off this spectacular day for under 6k and made it look fabulous in the process. She asked about potential poses, gave tips on crucial moments and wanted to know every detail from faces/names/relationships to moments I wanted captured. Charissa captured the love, the chaos, the essence, and fun of my special day. For that, I’ll always have something nice to say about her work. Quick turnaround too! Thank you, again, Charissa! Your photos deserve to be in someone’s gallery.
