We had an awesome experience with Tomi from the absolute start! Tomi helped me plan and bounce ideas off of him and was very engaging as I planned to surprise my now fiance the day before our photo session. Tomi was very communicative when it came to the types of areas that would fit our vibe and where/when to meet up. During the session he made us feel comfortable and confident! He kept a friendly and fun attitude the whole time as he shot through various types of scenery. It was really a great experience and I'm glad I made the decision to photograph this step in our lives!

We have a family connection with CEE so we were pretty sure we were going to use them to DJ our wedding but I'm so happy that that connection got us to CEE. Always on top of response times, reasonably priced, especially compared to a lot of other similar vendors in Milwaukee. Went with all the unique details of our day and were quick to answer an questions or address changing needs. On the day of I didn't even notice them setting up - everything just appeared so no issues with promptness or professionalism there. Knew how to get people onto the dance floor when numbers were low and how to have fun with the crowd. Worked with all the song requests we had set up. 100% satisfied

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

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!!

Leah made the whole process stress-free with her clear communication and warm personality.

She helped me stay relaxed and assured me everything would be perfect – I'll never forget that. Leah's photos are simply breathtaking. She's a true artist who captured every detail just as I imagined. She made sure we had time for portraits, but also caught those spontaneous, joyful moments that made our day so special. We are beyond thrilled with the photos Leah delivered. The cherry on top was seeing how excited Leah was at the wedding – she even quickly edited a photo on the spot! It showed she was genuinely invested in our happiness. Can't wait to work with Leah again for our future big life-moments!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

Ayla knew exactly when to step-in, how and handled so much for us. We knew we’d both get pretty drunk so we counted on her to handle pretty much everything day-of. When I tell you she knew when to feed us, who to talk to, how to set things up….our day was absolutely perfect! We also had no idea where our vow books ended up (that was before we started drinking) and she mailed them to us, which was such a sweet surprise. Ayla and her team were great!

She never looked back after her first lesson in October 2007. During her many years as a student, Olivia continued to push herself musically by competing in numerous competitions winning the annual Buckeye Christian School Organization’s spring competition for five consecutive years.

Sharon Valley Harp, LLC / Olivia provided exquisite, high-quality, and truly memorable musical accompaniment for our wedding ceremony. From the moment we first spoke with the owner, we were impressed by their professional, attentive, organized, personable, and responsive communication style. They went above and beyond by learning the specific song I (the bride) wanted to walk down the aisle to, making that moment deeply personal and unforgettable. Her beautiful harp music set a tone of elegance and love throughout the ceremony, creating the perfect atmosphere and enhancing every heartfelt moment. Additionally, Sharon Valley Sweets LLC - homemade cookies that we got were absolutely amazing - each bite brought back warm memories of grandma's baking, comforting, delicious, and made with love. They were a beautiful and delicious touch that everyone adored.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

Our experience with Danielle was nothing short of incredible! She captured our October wedding in Maine so beautifully, and the photos perfectly reflect who we are as a couple. From the moment we started working with her, she made us feel completely at ease. And provided a lot of additional unexpected guidance to help prep for our big day. She has an amazing ability to balance capturing those sweet, genuine moments with showcasing our silly side, all while making us look absolutely stunning. Nothing felt forced or overly staged—just natural and real. Her guidance during the shoot was spot-on, and the final photos blew us away. If you’re planning a wedding in New England, we can’t recommend Moon Rising Photography enough. Danielle is not only talented but also so much fun to work with. Our memories from that day wouldn’t be the same without her! And we look forward to continuing to hire her for any and all major life events!

Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

Having Laura as our photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! She is the kindest, most creative, understanding, detail-oriented, and dedicated human, and her professionalism is beyond compare. She made our day seamless, and we had a ROLLERCOASTER with a downpour of rain, a fallen power line and an emergency back up location switch that involved walking through a woodland path in Maine in the mud. She never wavered, and made everything seem like it was her plan in the first place! She even took extra time to look at our venue in advance of the day which was above and beyond what was expected of her. If you are thinking of hiring her, GET IN WHILE YOU CAN!!!!

We searched for a photographer for our Lake Geneva wedding but it was a bit difficult as we both live in Chicago. Luckily, I had read some really great reviews about Ari Rosenthal Photographers and was thrilled when I talked with Ari.

We have had so many family and friends just love the photos when we shared them! Mark's professional experience put us at ease from the moment he arrived and the communication was great from the first phone call.
