Congratulations!! What an exciting time in your life! I am truly honored that you have taken then time to consider me as your wedding photographer. Here's some fun facts about me... I am obsessed with sunsets, pickles are my favorite food, and espresso and tequila are my favorite drinks! I'm a mom of 3 teenagers, I have photographed a living president, and I've always lived close to water, but the mountains are my favorite place! Frank Sinatra is my favorite singer, I've acted in a movie, and I've watched every Marvel movie in chronological order. My biggest bucket list item is to travel the world and photograph in other countries!

Working with Terah is nothing short of amazing. She is super sweet and absolutely amazing at her job. She truly is a story teller. I would recommend her a thousand times over.

Awarded Best of Zola
First, my mom failed to read our contract correctly and had the whole family up at sunrise for a shoot instead of 6:45pm. Among the large family group were our twins who would’ve been an absolute nightmare had we stuck with the original time slot we agreed to. The photographer was so kind and flexible and showed up the next morning on short notice to accommodate our group. Not only does my mom hate having her photo taken, our family pet has been sick with cancer for some time now and they did such a wonderful job capturing all of the love and joy surrounding my mom and our beloved pet. Last, my wife and I are a same-sex couple and not all photographers have been the most comfortable to work with in the past. This team is professional and friendly and treated our little family and marriage the same as she did my sisters by offering to take romantic pictures and recognizing our relationship appropriately. It really is the small things that matter and I can’t recommend this team enough.

Hey there- I'm Joanna, but feel free to call me Jo! My world has always been filled with photography- through all the years and different cameras, it's always been my biggest passion and love.

Most importantly, I am a lover of all love and will never get tired of documenting it.

Her work stunning. We set up a video call to discuss what we wanted from the photos from our special day - Jo just got it and got us almost instantly. She knew NYC and where to get our pictures done but also allowed us to collaborate and explore on the day. Jo is passionate about her profession and passionate about giving you the best possible experience, flowing with love and positivity throughout. It’s super relaxed and fun.

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, fresh ground coffee beans, flannel + fall, and going on adrenaline based adventures. I'm like a best friend with a camera, or the guest you didnt invite but glad I showed up. You'll feel completely comfortable and natural throughout the wedding day. No stress, no pressure.

Michael Freas is the best photographer we could've possibly chosen. He is easy going and yet also professional at the same time. If you are looking for some quality photos where the color pops and stands out, along with some fun candid photos, you found the right person! As soon as he pulled up to our venue he saw some flowers which were off to the side and knew immediately he would bring us over to the field where the flowers were. None of our guests even saw the field of flowers, he just has an eye for this stuff and knows how to control a camera phenomenally! We loved working with him!

Lee specializes in natural, storytelling photography that perfectly captures the essence of your special day. His cinematic style is beautiful and detail-oriented, ensuring a collection of images that couples will cherish for many years. Alchemist Weddings blends a journalistic approach with the creative use of light and color. Lee uses his eye for composition to arrange photographs to produce something artistic and imaginative. His passion is evident in the care and intimate way he documents the wedding day.

We were absolutely thrilled with Lee Everett's ability to capture not just photos but feelings and moments. From the first call, it was clear that he had a unique talent for seeing beyond the surface and capturing the unique things that made our relationship so special. Lee paid incredible attention to the little things, ensuring that every important element of our relationship and wedding day was documented. He even captured moments we didn’t realize were important to us until we saw them through his lens. Throughout the entire process, Lee was more than just our photographer—he was a dedicated and supportive presence. He was always available to us during the preparation, offering his expertise and guidance whenever we needed it. His consistent communication leading up to the big day gave us a sense of reassurance and confidence that everything would be perfectly captured. One of the best parts of working with Lee was his commitment to understanding and prioritizing our desires. He took the time to get to know us, learning what we valued most and what we envisioned for our wedding day. This attention to detail and genuine care for our wishes played an invaluable role in making my dream of an outdoor wedding come true, despite the weather. When the opportunity for a last-minute shift to an outdoor ceremony arose, Lee stepped up to make it happen. He even coordinated with the entire vendor team to ensure everything transitioned smoothly, which was above and beyond his role as a photographer. His proactive approach and dedication to our vision is something we will never forget. The day would literally not have been the same without him. The photos we have received so far are nothing short of stunning. They perfectly encapsulate the joy, love, and magic of our wedding day. Lee's flawless documentation allows us to relive those moments again and again, bringing back the emotions we felt on our perfect day. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos and know that they will be just as breathtaking. Lee Everett exceeded our expectations in every way.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

Our team prides ourselves on being professional third-wheels on your wedding day. We are perfect for those who thrive on love and connection, and are looking for bold and purposeful imagery. We have 2 wedding associates, 2 family photographers, and a husband and wife videography team

Maddy was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the moment we connected with her, we knew she was it. I had searched high and low for months, after seeing so many washed out, boring photos - Maddy's photography was an absolute breath of fresh air. Her work was full of life, love, energy, emotion and beautiful colors; which I knew was exactly what I wanted! Once Maddy spoke with us on the phone, she felt familiar and comfortable, like an old friend, to which she TRULY did become someone we can consider a friend. Maddy was there for us with whatever we needed through the entire planning process... She is impeccable with her communication, and whether it was questions, moral support, or just a lighthearted pick me up - she ALWAYS was there for us. Her process was also very easy, straightforward, and her questionnaires and blog posts cover everything your and your spouse might need to know! Leading up to our day, we didn't get to physically MEET Maddy until the day of our wedding, to which she showed up obviously completely over-prepared (which my Type A appreciates beyond a reasonable doubt), excited, and ready to go with us! The INCREDIBLY warm hug she gave both of us just reinforced what we already knew - she was meant to be with us on our big day! Maddy kept us laughing, happy, AND she ran THE BEST interference lol. She is a great reader of emotions, situations, and even pulled me (Alex) aside at one point to have a cool down outside because she knew I was a bit overwhelmed by my family. Through the ceremony and reception Maddy and her assistant were GREAT! We got SO many compliments about both of them from our guests - noting that they were SUPER stealth when they needed a shot! Maddy also has an incredible eye, and her vision for photos is next level... She was able to direct us through everything and if you need yourself a hype girl - OH SHE IS IT!!! She’s also an absolute BOSS and will take control of a situation *if need be,* which was also important to us.. She made group/family/bridal party photos quick and painless which was SO needed, and also got a TON of fun shots through the night! Seeing our shots come to life was spectacular, and when she sent us the sneak peaks we were absolutely FLOORED.... And then seeing our full gallery!? Stunning. Just truly extraordinary. We cannot stop staring at our wedding photos. We share them any chance we get, and so many of our friends and family have asked us how they could use Maddy for their photography needs. Anyone we show our photos to is absolutely taken aback by them, and truly, I think the relationship we created with Maddy shows through in our photos. We were comfortable, excited and genuinely happy! Maddy made our emotions, happiness, and visions come to life through her photos - she is WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT! We truly can’t wait for Maddy to be in our life through all of the changing seasons and new chapters.

We loved working with Dylan & Esteban, they did both our rehearsal dinner and wedding! We talked all the time leading up to the wedding and the day of. The communication was great. They also drove to our venue a week or so leading up to the day to scope out where to take photos and know their way around the island. We could not have been any happier with our photos. Not only did we love them, we had so many people telling us what a wonderful job they did capturing the day. I am so glad we found them and hope they are able to capture your special memories too.
