Awarded Best of Zola
Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.

Light Sky Photography

Erika was the absolute best! She made us feel very at ease and effortlessly directed us for all the poses. She got all the important moments in our ceremony and lots of beautiful candid shots of friends and family at the reception. The cake photos were super fun and the decor shots were perfectly detailed! When we first saw our pictures we were in total shock! They were amazing! She is perfect in every way! Beyond 5 stars!

Barefoot Royalty Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Grand Rapids, MI for additional fees

Hi, I'm Christine! I specialize in capturing & preserving love stories for the romantic and madly in love couple; whether you’re engaged, getting married, celebrating your anniversary, or just because - I’m here for it! I want to ensure you have an unforgettable experience that allows you to truly focus on your relationship and the love you feel for each other. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my hubby and fur-babies. I absolutely love to travel and explore new places, so if you want to take me to another state, or abroad, I’m totally game!

We booked Christine with Barefoot Royalty for our wedding after meeting her at a bridal expo in Statesboro, GA. The Queen of Hearts package was the one that best suited our needs, which included an engagement session as well. My husband and I decided that we would like to have our session at the river on his dad’s property and Christine was on board and filled with excitement from the start! Little did she know our session would involve a dog, canoe, boat, champagne, and a very awkward couple. With all of these props, obstacles, and survival taking pictures from a moving riverboat in the Ogeechee, Christine got us through our engagement session. We were instantly blown away after our pictures arrived within the timeframe given! Our wedding day quickly arrived and was exciting, fun, and busy right from the start. Christine had a photography schedule for us to follow and worked as hard as possible to keep all of us on track (which was a VERY challenging task in itself). After the ceremony, Christine recommended “golden hour” pictures while our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour. As much as I was excited to start visiting and celebrating with our guests, I am so happy she encouraged us to take the time because the pictures are PERFECT! The week of the wedding, we decided to book an extra hour with Christine to be able to capture more of our reception. Honestly, aside from booking Barefoot Royalty in the first place, this may have been our best decision yet! She and her second shooter stayed until 9 PM and captured so many fun reception pictures that we would not have had otherwise! Christine stayed in touch as the weeks passed while we waited for our full gallery to arrive… and boy were they worth the wait!!! Being able to relive our wedding day through the pictures has been so much fun. We are blown away by the talent she has, attention to detail, and how everything turned out. We would highly recommend Barefoot Royalty Photography for your engagement/wedding photos and would book with Christine every time if we had to do it over again!! Hands down the BEST experience and we were most definitely given the ROYALTY treatment! Thanks for everything! - Shelby and Ryan

  • Serves Grand Rapids, MI for additional fees

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 day 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.

We have used her for all of our family photos from then on!

Definitely recommend working with her!!

Courtney Ranes Photography

  • Serves Grand Rapids, MI for additional fees

Hello there!! I’m Courtney, owner of Courtney Ranes Photography. I have had my business for a little over 8 years now and I have loved every minute. I specialize in photographing any and every kind of love for any and everybody!! Love is love!!! I'm so grateful I have the chance to do something I truly love and I am really passionate about. If you are interested in my business at all just send me a message and I can send you my rates!

I seriously don't even know where to begin. Picking a photographer was one of the most important aspects for my spouse and I, and we met with at least a dozen different people to find the perfect fit. Picking Courtney was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process. Courtney brings a professional and calm atmosphere to your wedding day. Couples: please remember that you will be spending almost your entire day with the photographer! Courtney's vibe was amazing. I did not feel rushed, I didn't feel anxious. She helped me keep on the timeline we set, but also left a ton of room for us working on our own schedule as the day/timeline naturally shifted. I was running late for makeup, first looks, etc. and she just let it happen as it happened, which I really appreciated. I was able to enjoy what was happening rather than worrying about a timeline that really didn't matter much. But, I also got the impression that if the timeline did really matter, she would make sure it happened. She really did an amazing job of matching our energy and both my spouse and I said we would be friends with her outside of the wedding! She is truly so, so, so amazing professionally and personally. Now, the photos! We both were crying within minutes of looking at them, with huge smiles on our faces. She really perfectly captured the day, in the moments getting ready, the ceremony itself, and the moments immediately after. The posed formal portraits were as important to us as the actual events, and she nailed it all. We are obsessed with our gallery and have an impossible task of deciding which photos to print! She stuck to her delivery timeline and we got the sneak peaks on the first day of our honeymoon, truly perfect timing. If you have any doubts about hiring Courtney, don't. We met with a lot of people who did not have experience with couples who looked like us. With Courtney, we did not feel like guinea pigs or like she wanted to work with us just to expand her portfolio to have a queer, plus sized wedding in an art museum (we definitely got this vibe from other photographers). She is truly a gem that Ohio is lucky to have.

I’m a Sunshine State native, a Pisces, and a lover of the outdoors. Photography is my favorite way to connect with people. The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank Sufia enough, for the beautiful photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. I was so nervous to take photos, as I hate having my photo taken at all, that I delayed it for so long. Now, I wish I hadn’t! I’m just seriously blown away, Sufia made me feel like a model! And she was able to capture the love we have for one another in every photo. Not only is she obviously gifted with a talent to really capture people at their most beautiful, but she is such a wonderful person to I have to say I can’t recommend Sufia Huq Portraits highly enough. She has photographed so many important milestones for my family but she truly rose above and beyond all of my expectations as a wedding photographer. I initially hired Sufia for my engagement photos but after seeing how perfect they turned out, I knew she was the only person I could trust with my wedding! On the day of my wedding it truly felt like everything was going wrong. It was raining. I got second degree burns on my chest from a steamer. I had vendors threatening to leave and the catering company stealing my food. The ONE thing that eased the stress of that day was my incredible photographer. Despite how stressed I was, Sufia managed to bring me back into the moment and to capture timeless portraits of my wedding day with my husband, closest friends, and family. When I look back through the photos of my wedding day (which I do often because I’m obsessed), I don’t think about all of the craziness. I think about those precious moments Sufia captured for me. Sufia was more than just a photographer that day. She was a cheerleader. She was a hype woman. She was a friend. She was more than just accommodating. She was flexible. She was dependable. She was KIND. Sufia is an amazing human being with an amazing talent. A wedding day is a huge deal. Sufia Huq Portraits will not disappoint in quality or in kindness.

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.

We are blessed to photography many weddings & events around the world. We've had the honor to photograph many celebs as well. All our clients are a blessing & we know it’s an honor to be chosen to photograph their memorable event. We are grateful to all who has given us the privilege to work with them. We strive to tell our couple’s story & reflect their energy in each photograph. Like Elton John & Bernie Taupin, we work in two rooms: Bob is the principal photographer & handles all the logistics of our shoots. Dawn completes our vision by editing photos & making each image sing, then designs a fine art book to encapsulate the each story.

Bob & Dawn were nothing short of amazing to work with. My husband and I changed our wedding plans quite a bit, but decided to move forward with a small and intimate wedding on our original date. Bob & Dawn were so accommodating and easy to work with, they took a ton of stress off my plate. Every single picture from our day is perfect. Bob captured every moment that I was hoping for....AND MORE. I feel as if I have an intimate relationship with the two of them now, they were involved in some pretty important and special moments of my life, and I am so grateful to have met them and gotten to work with them during a stressful time. Although I had a COVID wedding, you would truly never tell from our photos and everything I was hoping for was delivered by this dynamic duo. I know I will stay in touch with them over the years, and am grateful to have worked with them when I did!

I’m Kaytlyn Dempster and I’m the photographer, editor, social media manager, and person behind KDP! I believe that getting to know my clients is the #1 way to ensure an awesome experience, I’d love to tell you a little about me: I am married to my highschool sweetheart, I love animals but horses and dogs are my favorites (so if you ever want to include your fur baby in your session the answer is always YES), I live just outside Fayetteville, NC but I LOVE to travel, and I love creating beautiful images but more importantly, I love serving couples and their families on one of the greatest days of their lives

Kaytlyn Dempster Photography was an exceptional choice for our wedding photographer. From the start, Kaytlyn's communication was positive, responsive, and effective, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. Her high-quality photos not only captured the key moments of our special day, but also the overall feeling and emotion. Kaytlyn masterfully balanced candid and staged shots, efficiently navigating the group photos, and sensitively handling our complex family dynamics. We highly recommend Kaytlyn Dempster Photography, as her work, attitude, and stunning photographs made our wedding day even more perfect and have given us beautiful memories to cherish forever.

I am a destination wedding & elopement photographer + planner based in New Mexico. I am originally from the small college town of Lexington, Kentucky, but before long my family moved to Toronto, Canada. Fast forward a handful of years, we moved to Nashville where I finished up elementary school and attended high school. I graduated from UTK in the spring of May 2020 with a BS in marketing and a collateral in entrepreneurship. After graduation I moved down to Florida to be with my partner who is stationed in the area and this past year we got moved to NM! I am an avid traveler & learner!

Audrey is the best. She went above and beyond for my wedding which seemed so natural that she must do it for all. We had 3 phone calls since we lived far away. Ahead of the wedding she put together detailed timelines for myself and all those involved. We made edits together and we explored different package options. I had a large wedding where my Husband and I were getting ready at different locations, a Catholic Church Ceremony and a different location for reception. Audrey managed with ease. She has the calmest demeanor and the best art came from the day. I received “Sneak Peaks” of almost 80 photos within 2 days which was a shock to me. Upon opening them, the photographs were so beautiful we couldn’t even believe these were from our day. I HIGHLY recommend Audrey for your wedding. Big or Small, Formal or Informal. She is the girl. BTW her second shooter, Lauren quite literally saved our wedding ceremony when I forgot the rings. Lauren tracked down the limo driver and delivered the rings discreetly to the alter!

Cecilia captured our wedding day at Brighton Resort in the mountains. She was so personable and really got to know my fiance and I. She listened to what we wanted and delivered plus so much more! She was even dancing on the dance floor to drum up excitement and capture our friends' energy. I would book her again 10 times over! Best decision!

Hey Friend! Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images!!! I live for the RAW moments... the true emotion of the day. Tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your loved ones before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do!" I blend candid and guided shots, giving you the freedom to move about the day to enjoy it, while never having the thought of “what should I be doing” running through your mind! You'll be able to look back on your wedding photos 40 years from now and FEEL the emotions you felt that day. That's my promise to you!

Hi there! Thank you so much for checking out my photography. My name is Ivy, and I'm a Photographer based in Utah.

Although I’m based in Utah, I love traveling, and I’m excited to capture your “once in a lifetimes” wherever you are! My style emphasizes intimate moments, and capturing genuine emotions. Think: “dreamy, elegant, timeless.”

Ivy is the most amazing photographer/stand in best friend a bride could ask for! She was so professional, but it also felt like we were lifelong friends, and she knew EXACTLY what I wanted. She made sure I was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. Ivy went above and beyond, and she got gorgeous, dreamy pictures of us; I cannot recommend her enough! I’m not usually photogenic, and I’m generally uncomfortable in front of a camera, but she made it seem like a conversation with a friend instead of a photo shoot, I was laughing so hard and forgot that she was even taking pictures. She lead us so well, and when I was going through the gallery, I had SO MANY favorites, and that never happens for me! I’m so happy that I had Ivy as my photographer, and that I have her gorgeous photos to remind me of the best day of my life!

This might surprise you...Prior to photography, I was a professional concert dancer. So I understand what it's like to be in the spotlight. And I understand how to use my training as a dancer to make you look stunning in front of the camera. I know the mechanics of the body and how to pose you to look your best. And on your wedding day, that is exactly how you should feel.

We are wedding videographers (Savstrom Studios) who recently had the privilege of working alongside Lauren at a styled photo shoot in St. Paul. We have known Lauren for awhile and love her work so it was a lot fun getting to work together and seeing her creative process. Lauren has incredible talent for styling, directing, and posing couples, as well as capturing wedding details. She does an amazing job capturing everything she needs, collaborating with other vendors, and keeping the atmosphere fun for everyone. Highly recommend Lauren for couples looking for beautiful, timeless photos and an amazing client experience!
