Kenessey Studios

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Mad River, CA for additional fees

Kenessey Studios is a mid to high end wedding & portrait photographer based in St. Louis MO. We have been working in the St. Louis area for several years now and really enjoy the people and venues in the area. Our style of shooting is a mixture of candid and posed shots that I think covers the bases for a large percentage of clients.

Shawn took our wedding photos last summer and he did a beautiful job. We felt so lucky to have a photographer who not only prepared us for what to expect but also put us at ease throughout the day. He gave us a ton of creative ideas for photos and was so patient with everyone. He made both our families feel comfortable in front of the camera and that is saying a lot! But what we really loved was how amazing the photos turned out. We were completely wowed at the quality of the photos - he caught everything we wanted and so much more. They are a beautiful reminder of love we felt on our wedding day.

Kayla was the third photographer for our wedding and we are so SO glad that she was part of the team for our big day! She has such a special eye for detail and captured moments with such love and care. She was incredibly helpful the day of our wedding, from extensively scoping out photography locations, to bringing us water and anything else we needed as we were going through our shot list. The final gallery that she shared with us was absolutely stunning and so full of unique moments and details we were so glad were captured on film for us to relive again and again. Thank you Kayla for helping make our special day absolutely magical!

Hey, hi, hello! My name is Nancy Chhin, I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I grew up in Southern California, I visited Oregon once and fell in love! I’m totally a kid at heart, so much so that I still have a giant stuffed shark on my bed and my favorite food will forever be cheesy fries. I’m the type of person that will say hello to every dog I meet on the street and freak out when I see a dog hanging their head out of their persons car or when I see cows grazing while driving down the backroads. I'm a huge lover of the outdoors and quiet mornings with a huge cup of coffee and reading on the balcony.

I had the great opportunity of working with Nancy as our photographer. Nancy picked the location and time. The area she chose was beautiful and had great potential. She was punctual and extremely inviting. Her energy was vibrant and she was great with her directions. There was never a dull moment and she made the experience memorable. Anyone that is looking for amazing photos, great atmosphere and a professional photographer, Nancy is the perfect person for you.

Alyssa was one of my photographers for my wedding in February and I honestly could not have asked for a better person to be there for my big day. She has a calming presence and is so kind and patient. Wedding days can be so stressful but having Alyssa as not only a photographer but a friend was so great and really made the day so much more memorable. Not to mention her photos and style is absolutely stunning. She is so fun and delivers the most magical, beautiful photos. 10/10 recommend!!!

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Mad River, CA for additional fees

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.

We had the best experience working with Nick (and Mackenzie) on our big day. I cannot recommend Nick Cruz Photography enough! All of our photos are so beautiful and exceeded our (high) expectations. We could not have asked for better photos or a better photographer. Getting married during COVID meant a lot of last-minute changes in plans and Nick was so supportive and willing to work with us to make sure we captured all aspects of the day safely. And he is so personable - we had a total of 13 people at our wedding, so it was a very small group, all immediate family, but he fit right in! He was super organized and had a shot list to make sure we didn't miss any typical wedding photos. His website for photo delivery makes it so easy to view/download photos and he got us some sneak peaks super fast. Overall, we had such a great experience with Nick and plan to use him for all other big life events that require photography! (He also did our engagement - those photos were amazing too! He worked with my husband to pop out of the trees and capture the actual proposal.)

There's a feeling you get when someone you love smiles, when they laugh, when they take your hand in theirs. Those feelings are what I seek to capture. I combine the physical beauty of a moment with candid emotions to create heart-warming images that bring you back into the moment all over again.

Audrey was a dream photographer to have at our wedding! In addition to being so personable and having such a wonderful personality, she's an extremely talented artist!! Her photos are absolutely stunning and she really captures the moment. Looking through my photos I feel the excitement of that day! She is so sweet and made everyone feel so comfortable taking photos that the time flew by. I also felt like she was everywhere capturing all our moments -- I don't know how she did it all! We also received a lot of compliments about Audrey and how wonderful she is. Would definitely love getting to work with Audrey again.

  • Serves Mad River, CA for additional fees

For the couples who dream without limits. Kinsey is a boutique documentary wedding photographer specializing in luxury destination weddings. Kinsey Skye is based full time in Jackson Hole, WY, spending her off seasons in the desert, beaches, and overseas. Your story, vintage cinema, nature, music, travel, and exploration is where she finds inspiration for her unique, yet timeless style of photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I are extremely sentimental people. We adore reminiscing together over photos and videos, and because of this have had many professional photo shoots done to capture our relationship; each and every time, we have used Kinsey Skye. Our first shoot with her was a birthday gift from my husband, where we took mountain-top photos at sunset. The next shoot came when he proposed later that same year. Later, again, we hired Kinsey for our engagement photos. It was, of course, a no-brainer that we hire her to be our wedding photographer as well. Our wedding was set to be in Arkansas in July of 2020, and we were so elated knowing we had hired truly one of the most caring, personable, communicative, hard-working, and beyond talented photographers out there. Then... enter Covid-19. As quarantine swept across the country, we began making arrangements to resize our wedding to only a 40-person event, still in Arkansas. However, 12 days before our big day, 3 of our groomsmen fell ill with Covid-19, and my family (all of which live cross-country) made the decision they couldn't risk traveling 900 miles to Arkansas for our wedding. So, my husband and I made the tough decision to cancel almost all of our wedding plans in Arkansas, and instead take the wedding to my family in South Carolina for a spur-of-the-moment beach elopement in Charleston. But, after all the alterations we were forced to make in the midst of the pandemic, I refused to also give up Kinsey, the photographer who I trusted with my heart and soul to capture my wedding day. We contacted Kinsey with 12 days to spare, asking if she would be willing to follow us to South Carolina to photograph our elopement... unsurprisingly, she said yes. Kinsey, with her incredible heart and adventurer's soul, followed us 900 miles to the East Coast, and captured our elopement with some of the most stunning images we have ever seen. She documented our day with such beauty, ease, respect, intimacy, and careful attention to detail, making sure not to miss a single one of my requests. Her photos told the story of our day from start to finish, making our thrown-together-at-the-last-moment elopement look like a masterpiece. It was such a gift to be able to share the photos with our hundreds of friends and family who weren't able to witness the day in person. She also did extensive research on her own time to provide us with the most cost-effective and simplest options of getting her to South Carolina with us, as well as aided us in planning the timing of our day to coincide with sunset and the weather. Her photography skills aside, Kinsey is one of the most truly devoted and kind-hearted individuals we have had the pleasure of meeting, and working with time and again. Photography is more than a job to her - it is so clearly her passion. She is an embodiment of respect, preparedness, professionality, and genuine joy. I can not recommend Kinsey Skye Destination Wedding Photography highly enough. Look no further, and trust me when I say... you've found the photographer for you!

Hi loves! I’m Amanda, a San Diego based traveling photographer devoted to documenting romantic wedding moments and preserving the essence of the big day with imagery. I absolutely love having fun with my couples and getting them comfortable in being exactly who they are to capture in images! I have been a photographer for 10+ years and have fallen in love with being the person who showcases a couple’s love through creative imagery. I’ll be your biggest hype man, get you laughing with your partner and capture every emotional moment that should never be forgotten!

Amanda and KC were amazing! My fiancé and I were hesitant to take engagement photos at all—we are both awkward and don’t pose well for photos. Amanda and KC were very relaxed, casual and FUN! They made us laugh the entire time and everything felt so easy & comfortable. AND THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL! First, we don’t look awkward (big win). And second, the settings/backdrops/lighting they chose were exactly what we were looking for. Great experience and would highly recommend for anyone looking for engagement photos.

Kim and Mike photographed a wedding at our venue the first summer I managed the department at Jay Peak. Immediately, I added them to our Preferred Vendor List. After recently getting set up as a vendor on your site, I suggested Kim and Mike and do the same. All of my clients who choose to work with Kim and Mike end up sharing a bond with these two that is lasting. Love Wins' branding and message really conveys the style of work they inhabit. They're not a clock-in/clock-out vendor. The goal of their work is to connect with and get to know their clients and to celebrate the hard work and beauty of a relationship and a marriage. When we know they'll be on-site shooting a wedding, as coordinators, we know that we can rest a little easier with competent and caring photographers on site. We can rest assured that they'll be cognizant of the timelines we've built and that they'll utilize the many amazing places on-site to capture the beauty of our mountain! They work hard to nurture their professional relationships, both with fellow vendors and with couples, and it shows in the portfolios they've built over the years.

Trung Hoang Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,495
  • Serves Mad River, CA for additional fees

My name is Trung, the head honcho at this eponymously named company. My name is pronounced “Troon”, which sounds like spoon, so ignore those other letters that make life complicated. I've been a photographer for close to 10 years, photographing things big and small, far and wide. It's pretty incredible how impactful and valuable a split second image of a given time, place, person, or object can mean to a person. Whether it's a photograph of someone you love or a place you'd love to be, photographs spark memories or inspire the pursuit of new ones and that's why I love it.

Trung was an amazing photographer to work with, and the easiest of our vendors to work with. He and his wife, who typically shoots with Trung, came to the venue to tour it with us and get a feel for the area. His communication and organization are top notch. Most importantly for my wife who is camera-shy, Trung is great at making people feel comfortable around a camera, and directing poses and looks that he thought would be nice. As a hobbyist photographer, some things I really appreciated about him are he is someone who is completely ok with you taking the digital files he gives you and editing them yourself, which some photographers do not allow. He also takes amazing landscape photos, and brings those skills and artistic sensibilities into his editing and wedding photography. We later (about a year later) asked Trung to put together a wedding album for us which he gladly did, going through 4 iterations with us. I also asked for one of the photos to be edited slightly different to fit the rest of the page which Trung was happy to do for us. Other things about Trung: 1) Punctual 2) Flexible (our wedding ended up running behind and suffered a blackout at the venue, both of which he took in stride) 3) Captures great photos, posed and candid! My wife and I would hire Trung again in a heartbeat! We still keep in touch with him more than a year post wedding if that helps to show you how great of a guy he is.

Want a trusted, unobtrusive, thoughtful pro photographer friend on your wedding day? Someone to capture the way the wedding FEELS as well as it looks. A little direction during portrait time, a little leadership during family portraits, and near invisibility all other times? I think you’re onto something. I’m in. What's exciting? What’s important? What's confusing? Let’s sit down for a discovery meeting and I’ll ask, listen, lay out options, and share suggestions. I want to learn about you. I'm on your team 100% before, during, and after your wedding. Bonus: I've shot 400+ practice weddings before yours and I absolutely LOVE what I do!

We found Olivia to be a wonderful, skilled photographer! Her eye for composition is creative, yet she demonstrated the connectiveness of us as a couple. The one thing that stands out is how Olivia totally put us at ease by using innovative ways to relax us as we were posing. She had us, as we were holding a position close to each other, to tell each other 3 things we love and appreciate about each other. This of course brought smiles and was totally relaxing and sincere. She made us so relaxed and comfortable . As a result , the photos look completely natural. We actually became engaged the afternoon, immediately after these photos were taken. She made the moment so relaxing and magical. It was serendipity. I recommend her highly, and will be spreading the word amongst my friends and contacts. We will treasure these photos forever.

I can be on the quieter side and won't be all up in your space, but will still guide you along the way to create those beautiful memorable moments.

I am in LOVE with all the photos we received from Ruth. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day we have countless photos all of which are beautiful. We loved working with Ruth - super easy, relaxed style which was perfect for us. We wanted to be comfortable and not notice a photographer since it can be awkward. Her journalistic approach was perfect for us and captured so much more then we could have imagined. I had a very hard time picking photos for my wedding album and prints that I basically printed every single photo. The lighting and angles were natural and she truly captured every moment. I felt like all the photos we received told the complete story of the day.

If you’re looking for someone to capture your memories in a seriously beautiful way, Christine Tustin is 100% your gal. My husband and I had our wedding last year, and after seeing Christine’s work we had no question we’d ask her to be our photographer. From discussing a contract to receiving our photos, she made the process simple, clear, and stress free, which means eeeverything when planning a wedding! Also, as a bride who had a wedding during COVID-19, I also had anxiety about making sure all our guests felt safe and comfortable. Christine was super flexible, organized, and made sure photos were timely but also thorough, minimizing any stress I had. Christine is not only an artist but she makes you feel like a BOSS. She has a unique way with people, bringing out the best in them through her sense of humor and badass-ness. She’s captured our personalities and relationship PERFECTLY and we feel super blessed to have these memories. Can’t wait to hang them on our photo wall. I could keep on writing/raving FOREVER about her, but will leave it at this. Look no further for an incredible photographer.

I love exploring the world! THAT is why I love capturing love stories from all parts of the earth. I was living in New Zealand for a few years when I met my husband, Tyler. He shares the same love of wild adventure as I do. Together we have taken roadies through NZ, Australia, Indonesia, West Papua, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea. We have been married for almost three years now and live in Denver together in a little apartment. You can find us flipping vans into campers, bargain hunting at the local thrift store, or literally anywhere in the mountains on the weekend.

Working with Lauren has been one of my favorite parts of the wedding industry. We have probably worked over 30 weddings together and I am continually impressed by her dependability, excellence of work, and constant level of joy and enthusiasm through each wedding day. I have seen her interact with a diverse array of couples and she treats each of them uniquely and with the utmost care. I can see that she genuinely loves each couple that she works with and this sets her apart. If you are looking for a teammate, friend and overall great personality to work with, stop looking elsewhere. Lauren is your girl!

The photos from my wedding look so dreamy and I'm so in love! Norbert was a pleasure to work from working out the details, the shots I wanted, and making me comfortable when posing. My bridesmaids and family loved him as well. He made me look AMAZING and I got so many artistic shots that I plan on hanging in my home. He really captured everything I wanted and now I get to relive the happiest moments of my life! Thank you so much!

Being part of my clients story, is where I have found my calling. Capturing moments in your life, freezing those memories, and making them stay alive each time you look at your photos, is truly what makes my time rewarding. There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.

Honestly, our big day would have not been as amazing if it wasn’t for Cori. She literally is so amazing! She captured every detail and every unplanned beautiful moment wonderfully. She’s professional, fun, makes everything less stressful, helps out where she can even outside the photos and video just to help ensure your day is as beautiful as possible. We had a lot of hiccups on our wedding and she helped far past what was needed and it made the biggest difference for me personally more than she even knows. She’s level headed and helps you get back focused on your special day. The day, the pictures, the video all AMAZING!

Christina is absolutely wonderful! She is one of the most creative photographers you’ll ever meet. I just knew she would capture all the special moments to remember, and she did just that. The detail she puts into editing is pure magic - you can tell she spends a lot of her time pouring her passion into her work. My surprise proposal photos that Christina captured of my fiancé and I were just so lovely – I had to ask her if she could be there for my wedding in Maine and she joyfully accepted. I would recommend Christina to anyone who loves the moody and romantic side of photography – you won’t regret it! I will cherish these photographs forever!
