It doesn't matter if it's a lavish affair or if it's small & intimate, your wedding is a big deal! Weddings are crazy fun love filled days that go by so fast! You've put so much thought into this day & there are so many little details that will eventually fade. My job is to make sure you remember all the awesome little moments. If you're looking for an expert cake tester, who will keep your glass full AND constantly tell you how bomb you look, I'm your girl! I'm told I do a pretty great job at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. So don't worry about being awkward, 'cause I get it & I gotchu!

Shira was super communicative, very timely and clear throughout the entire process. They did an excellent job capturing the vibe of our wedding, and Shira even helped me put my shoes on when I couldn't do it myself. All of the family pictures were very organized and I didn't feel like I had to "miss" any of my wedding just for photos. I would recommend to anyone!

D.J. & Ashley photographed our engagement pictures and also photographed our wedding day. For this entire journey leading up to the wedding, their communication was so spot on, because they understand what it’s like to plan a wedding and how stressful it is to think of the little things. They were constantly sending words of advice, encouragement, and so many awesome ideas! On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to the room I was getting ready in and it was like the second they showed up, every single wedding day jitter I had just flew out the window. They made everything feel so natural and easy, and honestly so much fun! There is no one I would recommend more than this amazing husband/wife duo, because honestly they made our entire wedding 100x better! To top it off, after the wedding they gifted us a box with the sweetest candid Polaroid pictures that brought me to tears. It was all just absolutely perfect! They also got us our sneak peaks immediately after the wedding, they were all just so perfect and beautiful! These two will forever be my go-to photographers and I encourage everyone to choose them for any event! D.J. & Ashley, thank you for going through this entire engagement/wedding journey with us. You two were an absolute blessing and we honestly just can’t thank you enough!!

Hi, I’m Amandha! A Brazilian-born wedding and elopement photographer based in Denver, CO. My love for storytelling, travel, and memory-making brought me to the U.S. six years ago, and after living coast to coast and down south, I found my heart home in the Colorado mountains with my husband and our pup. I’m all about capturing love stories with warmth, intention, and a cinematic touch—told in a way that feels real, romantic, and deeply you, like a movie scene you’ll never forget.

Hey, Im Grant. I'm a Madison, WI based wedding photographer who specializes in a documentary approach using both film and digital photography. If you want your wedding gallery to be uniquely yours (vs a Pinterest shotlist), then I'm your guy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the right photographer was one of the more important decisions for our wedding, and we dedicated considerable time to making the right choice. Looking back after our wedding, I can say that we made the best decision. Working with Grant was truly a fantastic experience. From the moment we connected, he seamlessly guided us through the entire process, making us feel at ease and ensuring our day was beautifully captured. He made the day a breeze, capturing every special moment while making us feel totally relaxed. His ability to blend into the day effortlessly while capturing important moments was impressive. Some of the most cherished shots were taken without us even realizing he was there, yet each picture vividly brings back the emotions we felt at that moment. His documentary style? It's our jam! No stiff poses- just real, authentic shots that tell our story. Also, his skill in film photography added an incredible depth to the images, preserving the essence of our day in timeless frames. I also want to point out how easy communication was/is with him. Grant is lightning-fast with responses! So friendly and approachable too. When so many details of a wedding can be stressful, it was SO nice knowing we didn’t have to worry at all about our photography. If you're after a wedding photographer, Grant has the skills, the vibe, and the passion. Highly recommend!

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, & now Mississippi!! What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I also just got married on August 31st, so I know how it feels to be both a service provider and a customer! My style of photography is more candid with a documentary style approach, but I do love a good editorial moment!

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Angelina as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our big day! From start to finish, she was nothing short of amazing. Her calm and friendly demeanor made us feel completely at ease, even in the most nerve-wracking moments. She has a true gift for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and it shows in every single photo. What really stood out about Angelina was her incredible ability to capture the essence of our wedding. Every shot felt authentic, natural, and beautifully composed. She didn’t just document the day; she told the story of our love, our family, and all the joy that filled the air. Whether it was a quiet, emotional moment or a fun, candid shot, Angelina was right there, capturing it perfectly without us even realizing. Her attention to detail is second to none, and she has a way of making even the simplest moments feel magical. We were blown away when we received our photos — each one more beautiful than the last. Angelina has an incredible talent, and we are so grateful to have worked with her. If you're looking for someone who will capture your wedding day with elegance, creativity, and heart, we wholeheartedly recommend Angelina!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

Ashley is the BEST!! She did my wife and I’s engagement and wedding photographs. They are the best photos we’ve ever had taken of us. Every single photo of us is so raw but perfect and showcases our love in a way I had never seen captured! She also did my parents wedding photos and they are even more amazing(which I didn’t think was possible). I have seen some one off photos over the years kind of capturing the love my parents had (they had been together my entire life and then some aka 38 years before their wedding in 06/24). But every photo Ashley had taken that night managed to capture a glimpse of love that was so fleeting in the captured moments we had! I have no idea how she managed to capture that in every shot but she has a truly magical vision that can do that. It’s the only thing I can come up with! you will never regret booking with Ashley and you deserve to see all the emotions she can capture!

Why me? Because I know how to read people. I know how to make sure you are taken care of. You have to spend ALL DAY with your photographer, so I am going to make damn sure we have a great time. When booking, I'm confirming we are compatible. I am out here making friends...You can't capture genuine emotion with no connection. For some real connection: I love music of all kinds, but emo bangers are forever my millennial heart, I'm obsessed with my big fluffy dog, Interracial couples are near and dear (cuz samsies), I drink a ton of caffeine, and my hot take is your wedding means only your opinion matters... no one else's🤘

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.

I love my job because I’m passionate about capturing people in a way that is beautiful and different from how they usually see themselves when they look in the mirror. I’m here for all the magical golden hour photos, the dance floor candids, the sweet details and everything in between!

Katie was amazing. She photographed our proposal perfectly. Her communication leading up to the proposal was so clear making the proposal seamless. She helped find the perfect spot, gave clear directions, and drove to the location and sent a video of the spot a week or so prior to the proposal showing where to park, where she would park, and where to walk, etc. She is easy to communicate with, we got our pictures back right when she said we would, did a great job posing and directing us, and she really helped make this moment so special. She was fantastic and helped pull of the surprise and gave us absolutely beautiful photos of the proposal!

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!

Christopher Ginn Studios was a pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our initial inquiry, their communication was quick, simple, and eager to help us plan the perfect photography coverage for our special day. On the wedding day, their detailed schedule and professional approach ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment. The photos they captured beautifully showcase the personalities of my husband, our friends, and our family - we are thrilled with the results. I would highly recommend Christopher Ginn Studios to any couple looking for an experienced, responsive, and talented wedding photography team.
