Growing up, I was obsessed with magical love stories. Fairy tale love stories always left me with a euphoric feeling. I now get to document these stories being a professional photographer, & I LOVE IT! This is not a job for me but a passion that I am grateful to pursue. There are many good photographers out there, but what makes me unique is my passion for what I do. I will do anything to capture the most intimate moments for you to enjoy for a lifetime. If I must get in a tree, lay in a mud puddle, or wade in water to get the perfect shot, I will do it!

As a videographer working alongside a good photographer on a wedding day means a lot. Caitlin is always a photographer I highly recommend! She cares deeply about every individual she works with. She is creative with the shots she captures to keep each gallery fresh and unique. She is one of the sweetest people I've had the pleasure of working with! Every time I see her name on one of my vendor forms asking who I'm working with, my heart fills with joy. It is so much fun working alongside Caitlin and I can not speak highly enough of her and her work!

Hi, we’re Chris and Audrey! A husband and wife photographer-videographer duo located in sunny Pompano Beach, South Florida who loves to travel the world. His Light & Co. was first born out of a desire to share God's love with couples as they begin a new chapter of life together. But shortly after opening our doors, we also developed a deep passion for capturing wedding films and images that are as unique as our couples’ love stories.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were referred to Chris by a friend who used him for their own wedding and had nothing but positive things to say. Well, it became immediately evident why. Upon first meeting through zoom, it was clear Chris was very personable, friendly, and attentive, and after speaking with him for only about 10-15 my fiancee and I already knew we were going to choose Chris. We have now had the opportunity to work with Chris on two separate occasions and honestly, they have been some of my favorite experiences to date. Chris is very warm and friendly, he's easy to have a conversation with but still very professional and the quality of his work has left us speechless, to be honest. I dont consider myself to be a model of any kind but when shooting with Chris he defintely makes you feel like you are the star and this is your show. We have no regrets in choosing Chris to be our photographer for one of the most important days of our lives and trust us, you wont either. He is freaking amazing and you will be able to tell right away. 10/10 recommended without question. Thank you Chris for making this experience as wonderful as you have.

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.

I want you to be able to look back on these photos in 20 years and feel everything you felt on your wedding day. Together we’ll plan a day that doesn’t just fly by, but is full of fun, laughter, and memorable moments. No matter how your day plays out, it’s going to be magical, and I’ll be there every moment to capture it. I describe my work as documentary, timeless, and authentic. If this sounds like your vision for your wedding day, let's get this party started!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about her and her work. We found Ally through my brother as he hired her for his wedding in Georgia. Even though our wedding would be in NJ, after seeing my brother's photos, my husband and I knew we needed to fly her up for our own wedding. Since Ally had never been to our venue before, she made sure to fly in a few days early and schedule a walk through of our venue. She had assured us that she does destination weddings frequently and would be able to adapt to any setting. She certainly kept that promise. By the day of the wedding, it was like Ally had been to our venue a million times. She knew all the best spots to take photos and transitioning from each of those spots was absolutely seamless. Another great thing about Ally is her demeanor. She is so kind, warm, and calm. Having a presence like that on your wedding day is priceless especially when you have a big family/wedding party. I cannot thank Ally enough for helping us pull together our family, friends, and loved ones so that we could take every photo we wanted to on the timeline we outlined. Not only is Ally extremely organized and professional but her work is amazing. Ally asked me to create a Pinterest board of photos I liked - on the day of the wedding, it was clear she had studied the gallery and knew the exact vibe I wanted. With or without the Pinterest board, she has her own great artistic eye and directed a lot of great shots. I expected to have a few photos I loved from my wedding day but Ally provided us with an endless number of photos we love. I have gotten multiple comments from friends/family on our photos and my cousin even wants to fly her up for when she gets married. We had some older relatives/grandparents at the wedding and it meant a lot to our parents that Ally was able to capture so many beautiful photos with them. On top of all of this, Ally is also extremely timely. Our wedding was on a Friday and by Sunday night we had our sneak peak which was 150-200 photos fully edited. She then provided our entire wedding gallery right on the timeline she initially stated. Not having to follow up or track her down for our photos was just the cherry on top of the entire experience. To summarize - I cannot recommend Ally enough whether that be for your wedding, engagement shoot, etc. Ally is responsive, kind, so talented, and helpful. Thank you Ally for capturing our special day!!

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Deb and her team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding pictures in April 2021. The pictures are so beautiful and did a great job of capturing our day.

Sevi was such a treat to work with! She shot our wedding and engagement pictures and was perfectly professional and friendly the whole way through! Sevi had so many fun posing prompts for us and was so helpful leading up to and the day of the wedding. Her editing style was gorgeous and consistent—we received hundreds of photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

Sam was our outstanding wedding photographer! She is super personable, going the extra mile to help us loosen up and feel comfortable throughout our wedding day! Sam worked very hard to capture all moments from the day, from pre-arrival, to the bridal suite, the groomsmen getting ready, the ceremony and reception. They were able to capture all of the day’s special moments. She worked extremely well with the rest of our vendors, and her easy-going, professional attitude is not to be underestimated. She made sure we got our proofs and were happy with their quality - which we were astounded by! Truly a great choice for a wedding or event photographer!

Naiya Ross Photography is a wedding photography business operating out of Escondido, California. Previously working in photojournalism, I have a keen eye for capturing the candid moments of authentic emotion that reveal themselves throughout every once-in-a-lifetime celebration. I try to put passionate and creativity into every project that I take on, I strive to craft stress-free photography experiences and images that reflect each couple’s one-of-a-kind romantic bond.

As two introverts getting married, we needed a photographer that would make us feel at ease, forget we even had staff on our day of, but also had a good hand in dealing with guests who liked to get involved in the vendors' craft. Naiya's skillful and gorgeous photos speak for themselves. We really loved working with her not only for our engagement photo session, but also the day of!!! Due to some unforseen emergency family matters, our photos were a bit late. We wish she would have given a bit more proactive communication regarding this. However, the final product was worth the wait!

Hi! I'm Ashley, a traveling wedding photographer based in the DMV area. As a traveling wedding photographer, I'm always on the move, ready to embark on new adventures and document love in the most breathtaking locations. From adventorous elopements to grand celebrations in majestic venues, I thrive on capturing the unique essence of each couple's journey. I believe that photography is more than just taking photos; it's about freezing moments in time, preserving the raw emotions and genuine connections that make weddings so special. My goal is to craft a visual narrative that reflects your personalities, your love, and the beauty of your day.

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day!! From the moment we met, Ashley made us feel completely at ease, and throughout the entire process, she was both professional and personable. She listened to our thoughts and needs, and executed them beautifully!! The day of the wedding, she captured every special moment—both big and small—with such precision and artistry. Ashley didn’t just take pictures; she told the story of our day through her lens. Every time we look at our photos, we are transported back to that magical day, reliving the emotions, the laughter, and even the quiet, tender moments we might have missed in the hustle and bustle of it all. Oh and if you are also camera-nervous couple like us, don’t worry, Ashley gets your back!! Her attention to detail and ability made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! We were both a little nervous about being photographed, but she had a way of guiding us through each shot in such a relaxed, natural way that we almost forgot we were posing. ;) The final images exceeded all of our expectations!! She perfectly balanced candid shots with more traditional portraits, and the lighting, composition, and timing were just flawless! We looked at our photos and we were both like “who are these stunning people??” We’ve received countless compliments on the photos, our families and friends are still raving about how beautiful and authentic the photos are, and we’ll treasure them for the rest of our lives!! We’re so grateful to have had Southern & Grace Photography as part of our wedding day—captured the essence of who we are as a couple, and we are very thankful for her professionalism, talent, and the heart she put into her work—truly a highlight of our wedding experience! 10/10 recommended!! :)

I fell in love with photography at a young age, while rummaging through boxes of family photographs. My favorite pictures were always the ones that felt as though you had been transported in time- a little blurry, but a lot of emotion.

When it comes to wedding photographers, I was extremely picky, as I do photography myself. Once I came across Audrey, I knew that she would be a great option. Thankfully, she fell within our budget and we could not be happier. She is extremely nice and extremely patient. We continued to get compliments on how kind she was from all of our guests throughout the night. If you are looking for a photographer, I could not recommend her enough.

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 hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. Her professionalism and quality of product are unmatched. She goes above and beyond with her work and you can tell how passionate she is about it. If you want someone with great energy, clear communication, incredible products, great professionalism, and so much more then she’s your girl!

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.

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 Carmela, a wedding photographer based in Arizona but will travel anywhere for love! I am married to my sweet husband and we are parents to two of the most adorable dogs that we rescued.

I feel so blessed to be able to travel as a full time photographer to breathtaking destinations for weddings and elopements. I have had the wonderful opportunity to meet and become great friends with many AMAZING people along the way and hope to be able to meet YOU and hear your story. Let’s adventure together!

We are so thankful for you! You made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing. You also took a bummer situation of me braking my foot the day before our engagement session and made it the most magical session. You saw my vision but made it better then I could imagine! You truly have a talent for this! She got sneak peeks within 24 hours!!!! Also her editing skills are . I broke my foot and had surgery a month before my wedding and she took my scars off my foot and she made my photos look amazing you can’t even tell I only was able to stand on 1 leg. She is amazing!!!! I can’t say that enough!!
