Hi! I’m Becka, my husband, Aaron and I are traveling wedding and elopement photographers based in Northern Illinois! We love spending time with people, being outdoors, and we are always down for good conversation!

Awarded Best of Zola
I would recommend Becka to anyone and everyone! She did our engagement and our wedding! She doesn’t make you feel like your photos are just poses, but she turns your photo session into an experience and just a fun time and she captures true emotion! (Not only posed). When I look back on our wedding photos I can remember how I felt in each photo. She’s SO relaxed and doesn’t make me feel awkward in front of a camera! You won’t regret it!

I’m a sucker for a story, especially a love story. Ever since beginning a love affair with photography in Scotland, I’ve worked to capture striking photography for hopeless romantics. From traditional weddings to elopements, I’m game to capture creative and sentimental moments in timeless color.

PJ was easy to work with from the beginning. Always quick to respond, efficient emails which told us exactly what the next steps were on his side/what he needed from us/what to expect, all of which I appreciate as a bride trying to keep everything together! All our guests said he was everywhere talking pics, I realized I barely saw him at all! The sign of a good photog-everywhere and nowhere. We just received our photos back and they’re gorgeous! Highly recommend

I am lucky; I get to do what I love for a living, have a ton of fun doing it, and meet a lot of great people along the way. It's a bonus that I get to also travel a lot for it as well. I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

I`m Anna, based in Reno, NV and I would love to travel to you! Instead of bragging about how amazing I am as a photographer and how long I've been clicking that button, I'll let my work do the talking! Let's skip that part and get to know each other on a more personal level. I like psychology, animals, people, traveling, and unleashing my creativity. Oh, and I absolutely love capturing people just being themselves and showing their love for each other in every possible way. I just LOVE love. It may sound cliché, but there's something magical about freezing those one-of-a-kind moments with my camera that keeps me going.

Rebecca y Las Otras

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Hercules, CA for additional fees

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
I showed my best friend some of Rebecca’s work when we were searching for photographers and she marveled that the folks in Rebecca’s photos “feel so much more like real people than other shoots like this.” That precisely captures Rebecca’s work + energy and confirmed our decision to work with her! We worked with Rebecca for our elopement ceremony and our tea ceremony and it was truly a special experience. Rebecca made an huge effort to know and support us as a couple before the event, which helped us trust that she would be there to capture all the right moments and then some! Our family and friends all loved her and we got many questions about how we knew her and if she was a friend of ours (she is now!); this really speaks to her kind, open, and genuine presence. She moved the event along while also treating everyone with respect and compassion. We already knew that her work was incredible and we couldn’t be happier with our own results. We cannot recommend Rebecca enough! You’ll get beautiful, soulful photos and the chance to have an amazing human in your life if you book her!

Adam Kent Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Hercules, CA for additional fees

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Adam is an absolute delight to work with! We used him for our engagement and wedding photos and not only did he have us laughing the entire time, but all of the photos came out better than I could ever imagine. Adam has the perfect eye for lighting and framing. 100/10 would recommend

At Taylor Made Photography, we don't just capture images—we create unforgettable experiences. Based in the vibrant heart of Las Vegas, our passion is turning your special moments into timeless stories. Whether it's an adventurous elopement in the Valley of Fire, a laid-back wedding at the Little White Chapel, or an intimate engagement session in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District, we’re here to make every moment count.

Where do we begin? From the very first contact made to Heather she was beyond helpful! We had already decided from viewing her socials that we loved her work. And after a transatlantic video call to discuss details and vision we knew she was who we wanted to capture our day! We immediately clicked, and genuinely felt we were being heard from the off. Heather was always on hand with recommendations or to answer questions and queries. She genuinely made our day so special and captured us as a couple perfectly. Our only problem is that we now have so many amazing photos that we cant choose our favourites, which is an ok problem to have. :)

A calming, excited presence on your wedding day to cheer you on through all of your planning and tear-jerking moments. Prioritizing your experience in the moment while capturing all the moments in between. My style is natural, organic, and colorful with an editorial flare that aims to capture authentic human connection and the natural environment around you.

Sure, here's a refined version of your review: From start to finish, our experience with Kayla and the gallery was absolutely fantastic! Kayla set up numerous helpful meetings along the way, which was crucial since it was a surprise proposal for my now-fiancé. There was a lot to discuss, and I had many things on my mind to ensure everything was perfect. Kayla brought so many great ideas and suggested amazing locations, helping us decide where to go for the photos. She really calmed my nerves, always willing to schedule a meeting whenever needed. We also had a second photographer, who was equally amazing! If you have the opportunity to get a video of your proposal through a second photographer, I highly recommend it. Kayla and her team were incredible, and we were very fortunate to work with them. My fiancé and I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a photographer.

I dropped out of college to pursue photography back in 2014 and haven't looked back since. I'm an introvert at heart, but I come alive when I'm photographing what I love. I enjoy sipping coffee, exploring new places, board games, and creative projects.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were immediately drawn to Rachel Stenger's photography style and tone. We loved her slightly moody yet crisp vibe. It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots. We highly recommend working with Rachel Stenger, her work is a perfect blend of artistic and realistic. Rachel and Zeb captured moments that will continue to bring a smile to our faces as the years go by. Thank you!

Hi I’m Taylor Anne! She/her! I’m a published editorial fashion and wedding photographer based out of Dallas, Texas! I knew for certain that I wanted to be a photographer on a trip to Paris with my mom in 2005. I had a small little point and shoot digital camera that I used to take photos of literally everything around the city. I got artistic with the sunset over the Seine, and caught a couple having a romantic moment on the bridge. It was then that I said to myself, “Oh, I actually kind of like this,” and began the process of photographing for the next 16 years.

We got married almost a year ago at this point and we cannot begin to describe how great working with Taylor was. She was always SO on top of everything. She is incredibly prompt with her responses and was able to answer any questions we had. Scheduling with her was a breeze (even when the weather never cooperated with us & we had to reschedule engagement photos). She used many different photography styles (digital, film, etc.). Our photos & videos turned out BEAUTIFUL! She is truly an artist!!! We adore her timeless style and eye for the finest details. She captured our day exactly how we had envisioned. We will cherish these special photos for the rest of our lives and look forward to working with Taylor again in the future!

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is not only an incredible artist but an incredible person. She is incredibly thoughtful and has an amazing eye for documenting her couples in a unique and creative perspective. Kathleen is a delight to work with and her couples absolutely love her. Not only for the art she creates, but her couples know they will have the best time working with her. Kathleen makes you feel like an instant friend, and it's because you are! I absolutely recommend Kathleen.

I’m so glad you’re here. Really. My name is Katie Griffith, I’m 25 years old, living in the gorgeous mountains of Utah. Although it gets so cold and snowy here, you really can’t beat the Utah outdoors. The mountains feel like my second home. Ive been married to my best friend for over 3 years now, and our lil pack consists of our baby girl and our Golden Retriever. These three are my whole world! Honestly, I never knew this level of happiness existed before they came into my life. Ive been photographing weddings and elopements for 5+ years now, and I love what I do! I couldn't imagine doing anything else! This is truly my dream job.

We had 3 wedding location changes and our engagement pictures and wedding were all delayed due to COVID, however Katie was a rockstar and super flexible with all these changes. She rolled with the punches and stayed on top of everything with us by communicating on a regular basis while also giving us our space/time to figure things out during pandemic and unforeseen future. So far we were only able to have our engagement pictures in Utah (which were amazing and was our where our cancelled wedding was to take place). The pictures turned out beautiful, very candid which we love and she made us look great! As of now we are still planning for late summer/fall 2021 wedding and so looking forward to working with Katie again and seeing more of her amazing work! She is highly recommended within the Utah area and as a destination photographer.

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

Nick is such a fabulous photographer -- he captured every big and little moment of our special day. He put us at ease and made us feel comfortable on a nerve-wreaking and exciting day. The photos are some of my favorite of my entire life. He's amazing!

I am so Happy you are here! My name is Alice and I am a portrait and wedding photographer based in Northern Virginia - Maryland - Washington D.C. areas. To me, it has been a privilege to be able to connect with everyone that I had a chance to photograph.

I hope we share the same goal and that I am the photographer you are looking for.

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
We found Sufia through a recommendation from another Central Florida photographer, and we're so glad that we crossed paths with her! We booked her for our small wedding in March of 2021, and shortly after that booking we had engagement photos done. She had perfect recommendations for locations that would fit us, and was also so sweet and patient with our pup that we brought along for the morning too. Even in the super humid Florida weather, we had a great time doing our session and we loved the pictures- They're hanging in our house now! Once our wedding rolled around, Sufia and her partner for the day were lovely to work with- My husband and I are both pretty introverted, but they made the environment relaxing and fun. Sufia found ways to inject little pieces of our life into the final photos, which is so special to get to look back on- Even managing to get in some fun pictures with our very young nieces and nephews, which is no small feat with so many personalities in play. I loved our experiences so much, and actually booked her again just this month for some couple photos to commemorate a personal event. Of course the logistical things are important- she's prompt, professional, and the quality of her work is wonderful- but on top of that, she's simply a great individual with a warm, kind energy, and a genuine desire to gift others with memories of their most special days. If you have the opportunity to work with her, do it!

Yadira is a Bakersfield native that was raised by immigrant parents. She fell in love with love at a young age through art, music, & poetry.

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.

I’m a wedding vendor, (Someone Said Yes DJ), and have worked with Rachel twice now. She’s awesome. What’s important to me is a few things. 1 - fun to work with. It’s a serious team effort to rock a wedding. Everyone has to be positive and on point. 2 - guest interaction has to be upbeat and professional. The photographer communicates with the guests to line up the photos. This has to be done with a great attitude and with professional instruction 3 - photos have to look amazing. This is what it comes down to. I love working with Rachel and am pretty confident you and your guests will feel the same. And don’t forget, your photos will be beautiful.

I am a storyteller, inspired by the timelessness of cinema and the beauty of honest, unguarded emotion. From the rolling hills of Hudson Valley, New York, to the sun-kissed shores of Maui, I bring a deep appreciation for the interplay of light and shadow. This dance of luminosity and depth breathes life into each image I create. Your wedding day is a chapter in a story that began long before we met —and will carry on long after. If you find beauty in romance with a touch of mystery, if you want your wedding photos to feel like visual poetry, let’s create some magic together.

Sari Wynne Photography provided the most incredible photographic experience for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Sari's communication was fast, clear, and friendly, putting us at ease right away. Her work is truly magical, capturing the essence of our relationship in the most enchanting and romantic way.

This was hands down the best photographic experience we've ever had, and we're overjoyed with the stunning, magical images that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.
