Saindy Pyles Photography

  • Serves Independence, MO

I'm a professional wedding photographer in Wichita, KS & Beyond. I love what I do, so you'll always find me smiling and being silly while making you guys laugh. Choosing a wedding photographer is a huge deal. I go above & beyond for my clients because the last thing I want is for you to end up with photos that you don't love. My promise to you is to make sure I put the same care into taking your photos that I would want someone to do for me.

When I first started planning my wedding, I didn’t see the value of hiring a professional photographer over a family member with a camera- but let me tell you- it is SO worth it. The pictures came out beautifully, and she had the perfect idea of scenery and poses to make me look way better than I am in person :) I would recommend Saindy to anyone looking for a photographer.

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

Weddings are my passion, it's not the decor, or the outfits, it's the pure LOVE between my couples. It is such an honor to be a part of my couples biggest day of their lives and the beginning of their marriage. Getting to use my talent to document their connection and all the amazing moments during the day is really a dream come true.

Awarded Best of Zola
Natalie is AMAZING! She shot our wedding back in 2021, and we still look back through our photos in absolute awe. They're timeless, beautiful, and a true reflection of our wedding day. If you want your wedding to be an 8-hour photo shoot, I don't know if Natalie is the right photographer for you. But if you want to *feel* your images and be able to actually relive your wedding day through photos, you would be remiss not to hire her. She made our wedding day (and engagement shoot) SO much fun, helped us pose when we got awkward, and worked with us when we decided to push back our date.

I love capturing people in their very human moments. Images that really resonate with me are those which capture the essence of a person, a relationship, or just raw emotion. I search to photograph moments in which people reveal who they really are. This drive affects everything I do. Weddings are a breeding ground for these types of moments and emotions. Honest love, friendship, and joy. This is why I have chosen to specialize in this type of photography, because it speaks to me in a way than nothing else does.

Our planners recommended our GeeQ Photos, and I’m so glad they did. From our first initial meeting with George, everything was so well organized and seamless. He communicated the expected timeline and requirements so clearly, and he definitely delivered. During our wedding weekend, he had a clear vision of how our photos should turn out, and he made sure to capture the perfect shots. George is very detail-oriented and ensured that every moment was beautifully captured. He and his team got along with my family and friends wonderfully, and everyone was impressed with his professionalism. After our wedding, he communicated the timeline for delivering the final photos and met the deadline as promised. The photos came out absolutely stunning and everyone is so impressed with his work. We would highly recommend George and GeeQ Photos team again and again. They were amazing, and I pray God continues to elevate his business to greater heights.

Jason Snorlax Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Independence, MO

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Yes, my name is actually Zola. I am a photographer of over 7 yrs. Engagements, and weddings are by far my favorite. I mean, besides that I love wedding cake, I love being able to create and preserve memories unique to YOU. I guess that is why all my photos are not cookie cut or the same. See, I am a former DIY bride (omg that was stressful!) and so I make it a point to get to know my couples, their story, and vision. I am there for all of it. I want to be in the stressful planning, I even love creating timelines for the event, cause honey we are not rushing and sweating on wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a wonderful experience with ZLuna Photography. We booked them for 8 hours of photography for our wedding and reception in Plano, TX. Nadia (owner/photographer) was the perfect person to document our memories. We highly recommend her for her positive energy, clear communication, helpful organization, attention to detail, and of course her amazing photography. Vibe & Energy Nadia was a joy to work with. We loved her positive and fun energy from our first meeting. She's a people person with an outgoing personality and vibe that makes you feel comfortable. Her personality made it easy to interact with guests and get fun photos out of them. During moments of anxiety, she brought much needed positivity and encouragement to remain calm and focus on each other. As an ICU nurse, she knows how to keep cool, communicate clearly, and help navigate stressful situations. Her team also brought the same great energy and positivity. Nothing but good vibes working with the ZLuna Photography team! Communication Before, during and after our wedding day, communication was clear. In our first consultation, Nadia got to know us and our story as couple. She listened to our vision for our wedding and expressed her vision as a photographer. She listened to our concerns and was real about her own. She asked lots of questions to ensure she photographed everything we wanted. Prior to the day, she checked in with us over video chat and text. On our wedding day Nadia was friendly, funny, and upbeat while working hard and clearly communicating what she needed from us. Nadia and her team worked well with our coordinator, vendors, and guests. After our wedding, Nadia reached out via text to congratulate us again and provide a timeline when to expect final photos. She even sent us a highlight video previewing our photos the next day, which was a thoughtful surprise. Organization Nadia was incredibly organized in her planning and execution, documenting our wedding timeline and what details would be captured at each point during the day. We chose to plan our wedding ourselves without a wedding planner (very stressful) and were often not as organized as we could have been. Still, Nadia was patient and understanding of our DIY approach and even offered suggestions, ideas and resources to help us. Her websites for booking/invoicing and for viewing/downloading photos were also organized and easy to navigate. Attention to Detail Nadia asked all the right detailed questions to ensure that she captured everything we wanted. We loved the details that were shot in our wedding photos ranging from our attire and accessories, rings, food, cake, venue, décor, etc. Attention to detail was also given to capturing the range of expressions and emotions on our and our guests' faces throughout the day. Nadia and her team got some REALLY memorable, fun, and hilarious shots of us and our guests dancing that we love and still make us laugh. Photography We absolutely love our photos! Nadia's art is stunning and exceeded expectations. We love the effects and filters that were applied, and the way the photographers used small details in the venue décor and lighting to make the photos unique. They did an amazing job of capturing the love, joy, fun, and all the other emotions of the day. When we look at our photos we can't think of any moments, details, people, or feelings on our wedding day that weren't captured in the final photos we received. We highly recommend ZLuna Photography!

Sara did a phenomenal job for our engagement photos and wedding. She was so nice but also assertive for group photos which our group needed! She came very prepared and brought along items like a stain stick and a bride hanger to be prepared for anything that could’ve happened to ruin the look. She was flexible with us when we decided to tweak our timeline a little bit during our wedding and made sure to just go with it and capture all the moments of us with our guests. She really takes time to get to know you as a couple and has so much fun with you while she hypes you up to get the best shots. Not only do I love her work, but her personality makes her a great vendor to work with!

Timeless, unique storytelling in New York and beyond through film and digital work — Pearl Lee Photo captures every fleeting moment, transforming your most cherished events into enduring keepsakes. Pearl’s work draws inspiration from the nostalgia of her parents' wedding album and the soulful rhythms of Elvis Presley’s music (which she and her grandfather spent long drives listening to)…

Pearl Lee Photo was an incredible tea ceremony photographer for our special day. Pearl was so communicative via phone, text, and email, and she was so helpful in answering all of my questions, especially since I had no experience in tea ceremonies. Her vintage style photos were so touching, and I'm so glad she was able to capture my grandma and I in these moments. She definitely was something I didn't know I needed - her professionalism was amazing, and she worked very efficiently, knowing the best shots and how to direct everyone. I loved having Pearl as our photographer and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for beautiful, timeless tea ceremony and wedding photos.

Welcome! We are a 2-woman team located in the Midwest (KS, CO, MO...we gotcha covered). We’re based in KS but are thrilled when invited to travel for a wedding. Across the state or across the country...we're down! One of our main goals is to keep our services affordable. We offer our clients very reasonably priced wedding photography packages so that you can spend more on your honeymoon! Or the champagne. Or life in general! Each of our packages includes a free Wichita-area engagement session.

As a couple with a lot of anxiety, we were very grateful for Maria's calm, relaxed presence. She made our engagement and wedding photos feel easy and fun. On top of that, our wedding took place during a blizzard, and she still arrived on time, ventured outside to get some beautiful photos, and never complained once! The photos were absolutely worth the investment. PS - Don't forget to feed her! We were surprised to learn that it's not very common, but with 6 hours of work, it felt like a no-brainer. :)

Hiii! I’m Regina, your go-to wedding photographer based in Florida. Don’t let location hold you back, I’m always down for an adventure. Wheels up in 30?! - I’m there! Travel is included, no extra fees. I’m already so excited to meet you! Every weekend I get to capture love stories of incredible couples. I love weddings and by “I love weddings”, I mean that I love to tell the story of your wedding day with authenticity from the dress to the decor, the way the light reflects through a window to every smile and tear to the perfectly imperfect moments that are bound to happen. I count it all joy.

She did an amazing job with my shoot with James. She knew how to pose & direct us like a professional. She has such a fun energy that I totally vibe with. I highly recommend considering her to other clients here on Zola. She is super organized & really knows how to help when it's needed. Much Love. Amber xx

I’m the face behind the camera over here at Carlie Nicole Photography! I was born & raised in KC, and lets just say….I love my city! I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was 9 years old & I’ve hardly put it down since! I fell in love with photographing people in 2016 & I’ve never looked back! There’s something so cool about getting to capture some of the most special milestones in people’s lives, and I can’t believe I get to be a part of it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Carlie is so kind and easy to work with. When she wasn't available for our wedding date, she found associate photographers to be there for us. Carlie photographed our engagement photos and they turned out amazing! We couldn't be happier. Carlie edited our wedding photos so quickly and got them back to us a lot faster than we were expecting. We have precious photos to treasure forever! 10/10 recommend Carlie Nicole Photography!
