Hi! I'm so glad you’re here! My name is Jahzel (pronounced Giselle). I’m a hopeless romantic, a wife, a mom, a friend, a lover of adventure. These roles have played a big part in pointing me towards photography. I have found that the small everyday things are what make life beautiful.

We cannot say enough great things about Jahzel! From our engagement shoot to our wedding reception - she made us feel comfortable and cared for. Not only are her photos stunning, she is a pleasure to work with and makes the photo experience more fun and special. She also has incredible attention to detail and paid attention to every item on our shot list as well as incorporated poses from some of our inspiration photos - truly going above and beyond to bring our vision to life while infusing her own incredible creativity and style.

I am currently living in Florida while building out a bus to live in and travel the country (and maybe even the world) photographing and telling love stories! I started photographing weddings 6 years ago but I have been capturing memories for as long as I can remember, I can't go anywhere without a camera! I've traveled all over the world telling love stories and every couple I meet is just as inspiring as the last. If you'll have me, I would love to be a part of your story too!

Big world photography did an amazing job!!! It took me 6 months to find a photographer because I am picky!! Emilie was heaven sent. From the communication before, to our big day, and trash the dress everything was flawless. She is creative and is an amazing photographer. Our pictures are incredible, we get to relive our day every time we look at them. They really tell the story of our wedding day. Emilie was so efficient and captured all the pictures we wanted on our wedding day in a timely way that gave us more time to enjoy ourselves with our guests. Thank you big world for capturing all the big and small moments of our wedding. It's been three months since my wedding and I still look at our album and feel like I'm back on my favorite day. Words can't describe how thankful I am to have found Big World!

Kinsey Skye || Jackson Hole Wyoming Wedding Photographer 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • 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 are the REAL deal. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Amanda for several events, including our intimate wedding in France and our larger celebration in the Central Coast of California. From start to finish, Amanda was the calm within the storm. Our family members and other vendors raved about her for days after—she truly was the glue that held us all together! Amanda is exceptionally professional, timely, and communicative. We were absolutely blown away by Amanda’s shots. She has a fresh take on classic, timeless photos and was super responsive to our own vision. We look genuinely comfortable in our photos, reflecting the awesome connection we had with Amanda. Amanda and her partner KC also shot our larger California celebration as a team. They both worked seamlessly together, delivering the same level of professionalism and skill. Amanda and KC are so much fun that we actually forced them to put down their cameras and dance with us at the end of the night. I really can’t recommend Amanda enough for anyone in need of an event photographer. She and KC will exceed your expectations, just like they did for us.

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.

Kim & Mike were an absolute dream to work with! They are so easy to get along with and have such creative ideas for what to capture/how to capture photos.

Timeless over trendy has always been my mantra with wedding photography. I’m Natalie, a Portland, Oregon wedding photographer. I've been photographing weddings and families for over ten years, and my focus is on human connection. The simplest moments, the ones that aren't orchestrated or directed, are the ones you'll want to remember forever.

I am so grateful to have had the pleasure to work with Natalie twice! The first time I met her she photographed my friend's wedding in Hood River and when I saw the wedding photos it truly felt like the representation of that day. filled with joy and love. After searching endlessly for a photographer i was recommended to Natalie twice and when we got to speak she asked such intentional questions about our love story, what photography means to us, and photos that mean so much to us. the conversation moved me and i knew i wanted a photographer that could capture the emotion and joy of that day.. and she was sure she did. She understood we didn't really want overly styled/editorial photos and wanted more time to spend with our loved ones. Our French-Mexican wedding was beautiful and I'm so grateful that Natalie captured such beautiful moments. She was a joy to work with and I hope we get to work with each other for other life events in the future.

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 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.

Northern Glow Photography

  • Starts at $3,100
  • Serves Mad River, CA for additional fees

Northern Glow was built from a passion to create and document imagery in an art form that can be cherished for a lifetime. I have captured over 130+ weddings and countless other portrait sessions. The growth in the craft is what moves me. There is always new experiences and amazing people to meet. I truly want us to feel like old friends when the album has been delivered In brief... my ethos is to capture in an organic candid "unposed" fashion. All of this should be achieved by minimizing the nervousness in front of the camera and engaging in a fun adventurous experience.

Working with David was an absolute dream! From the moment we booked him, we knew we were in great hands. Not only is he an incredible artist with a keen eye for detail, but he’s also a genuinely kind and fun person. We were lucky enough to receive complimentary engagement photos as part of our package, and it was the perfect way to get to know David before our big day. On our wedding day, we spent the entire day with him, and it was such a fun and enjoyable experience. Having a photographer and videographer you feel comfortable with is so important, as you’ll spend more time with them than anyone else. David’s easygoing nature and positive energy made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment without worrying about the camera. We couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out—they’re absolutely stunning! We look forward to having David capture many more of our special moments in the future. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for not just a talented photographer, but a wonderful person to share in your big 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.

We're beyond grateful for Lauren Pippin, who brilliantly captured both our engagement and wedding in Colorado this September. Lauren is a true artist, her creativity shining in every frame, turning moments into timeless memories. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. Lauren's infectious energy put everyone at ease, resulting in genuine, heartfelt moments beautifully documented. The way she weaves our love story through her lens is truly special.

She then met with us a few times before the wedding to go over timeline and expectations, and she was extremely organized and insightful with all her recommendations and questions. She thinks of every detail you may not consider from a photography standpoint and recommended some great photo ideas. She and her co-photographer kept us perfectly on time the entire day and she had the kind and excitable energy you need from a photographer on your wedding day. We just got our photos back and they’re the best photos ever. So many great candids! They captured the day perfectly.

I don't want to dictate your day but let you enjoy your day. I may suggest small things like shooting portraits when the light is perfect, such as when the sun is going down, or I'll suggest taking a moment to embrace your partner & remind you to be affectionate on your wedding day. It's how I ensure you get beautiful natural images full of emotion.

Jesus was so communicative and helpful. He was so kind and patient. He had a calming and friendly presence it definitely helped when posing for photos. He made my stiff husband look natural in his photos and made sure not even 1 hair was misplaced which just made my photos perfect! Im so happy we met. I am happy with my wedding photos and look at them every so often and have the same reaction to them, just endless love and appreciation for unique moments that were photographed.

Easygoing and thoughtful are the two adjectives that come to mind when considering how I approach my work. As a wedding photographer, it’s my job to help my couples feel comfortable, ultimately setting the tone for everything. This approach allows me to preserve the authenticity of your wedding day so that every image in your gallery is true to you. Based in Boston, I have over seven years of experience within the industry and a BFA in photography from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University.

Rebecca is an amazing photographer and takes beautiful pictures. Everyone who saw our pictures has commented on the quality and elegance of the photos. She is friendly and punctual and organized which helped us stay on schedule. She is very professional, and very communicative about specific photo shots/ideas during pictures and very clear about specific poses and how to execute them so it looks flattering. I would recommend her to everyone as their wedding photographer or event photographer!

But I really liked about that was their ability to respond to changes in the wedding timeline. Everyone knows that the timeline is a pretty rough estimate of when things take place. It was really relaxing knowing that they were ready to go with it. Besides that, you can really see that their photography shines. You don’t need to look too hard to see why they should be your photographer!!! Raw, emotional, and Candid.

My name is Freddy and I am a Documentary styled photographer based out of Fresno, CA. I have been doing photography since 2018. I found my passion in wedding photography by watching romantic love pieces. I love to make my photos feel as if they if they forever freeze time in a picture that will last you years to come.

We hired Freddy (BYX Photography) To capture our wedding day this past December of 2022. We absolutely loved working with him & loved the photos he captured for us that we'll be able to cherish for the rest of our lives. Freddy was so sweet, He was not only professional but he made the entire experience effortless on our part which as the Bride & Groom was so amazing. Freddy went above and beyond to make sure everything we wanted was noted down & he made sure to follow through the day of. He made me feel so comfortable while photographing my "getting ready" photos, All of my bridesmaids had requests for photos they wanted to take and he worked well with everyone and was open to ideas/poses we had in mind. Freddy prepared a contract and made sure to answer any questions we had while going over the agreement. As far as pricing I personally think it was great & more cost effective than other photographers I previously looked into. Everything was done In a timely manner and he did a wonderful job communicating with us in regards to when our photos would be finalized and any other details we needed to be aware of.

at JBP we flip the script and break down the barriers of traditional wedding photography in the best possible way. we simply say this-- your love is too magnetic to be put in some arbitrary box. its more than just showing up with a camera... we create eye candy that tells a story.

Juls, has become family to us! She traveled to Jamaica with 30 of our family and friends and shot our wedding and easily became one of my favorite people!!! Her work is phenomenal, she has a crazy eye for detail! My husband and I love working with her, she shoots our family about 2-3x a year! We absolutely love working with her!
