My name is Thomas Seabury I am a wedding photographer of 9 years, over the past 3 years shooting just over 100 weddings per year. Each wedding I take on the roll of coordinator, photographer, and personal assistant keeping the entire day running smoothly and keeping the stress of the day as far from the bride and groom as possible. I would love to be a huge part of your entire process from overall planning to execution of the day! In the off chance you're booking at a Northern CA Wedgewood venue, I have hundreds of hours of experience at each of their venues and work very closely with the everyone of the staff at Wedgewood.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wedding was in May and the weather surprised us by dumping buckets of rain during the ceremony. Thomas was so helpful with all of his direction and suggestions for the ceremony. He was able to keep his cool and roll with the punches on our very crazy day. Our Photos are absolutely stunning! I honestly can't say enough good things about him. He took so many photos and his editing is wonderful. He also did our engagement photos all the way in Yosemite. He not only drove 3 hours one way for the engagement shoot but also drove an obscene amount of hours for our wedding. He put in so much work and I can't thank him enough.

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

Emma is literally the kindest soul you’ll ever meet and my pictures came out so well! I’m plus size girls, so I felt very nervous about getting my pictures taken. She made me feel so confident and so loved in such a small amount of time. The photos are breathtaking and she is willing to do anything to get the perfect shot! You need her if you want the best photos!!

Jenna Salvagin Photography

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenna was recommended to us by another photographer and it was such a pleasure to work with her! We greatly appreciated how much she wanted to know us and our personalities in advance of our wedding day. We ended every zoom call or email exchange feeling confident in our decision to work with her. The weather on our wedding day wasn’t very cooperative, but Jenna and team were on the lookout for any break in the rain so that we could go up to the roof and get a few pictures. And she totally nailed them—they are some of our favorite pictures from the day. Jenna and team made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and also captured some incredible candids. If you’re looking for a fun, positive, and easy-to-work with photographer—Jenna is the right pick!

Anthony Constantine Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Malibu, CA for additional fees

My goal in every session or wedding is to create a low stress, enjoyable experience where even if you aren't that into getting photographed, like myself, you can still have fun. I always aim to capture authentic and natural images that reflect the couple. Getting special little moments where a couple forgets I'm there and can just be lost in the moment of there day and each other is my favorite.

Anthony Constantine Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding day. From the moment we first spoke with him, his communication was very clear and helpful, he had a very fast response time, and of course him and his wife Tiffany are incredibly sweet. The quality of their work is truly top tier - their photos are beautiful, clean, and magazine worthy. Anthony and his team quickly adapted their plan when my brother, who wasn't going to make the wedding showed up to surprise me, and they were able to capture that precious moment. Even when the wind was fighting against them, they put in so much work to get the most perfect shots and succeeded. I would and will be recommending Anthony Constantine Photography to anyone with photography and videography needs.

Peyton was incredibly professional during both photo shoots we had with her. I decided I wanted to do a boudoir shoot for my husband and was nervous. Peyton made me feel comfortable and excited about the next outfit and poses. For our wedding, Peyton came to the venue early and ensured that everything went smoothly. She scouted areas to make the best pictures. She also made me feel comfortable during the photography portion of the day. One thing to mention and I can’t thank her enough for it: she was flexible with the timing and ensured that we knew it was our day.

My hubby Guy and I were both born and raised in Southern Ca. but met in Utah at a Sundance work Christmas party and even though it wasn't love at first sight, it was pretty darn close🖤 We have 3 beautiful kids and a handsome son in-law!

I had the pleasure of having Brynna shoot my wedding and I wouldn't have changed a thing! She made everyone feel so comfortable and confident. Both myself and my (now) husband are pretty shy people and we don't like being the center of attention, she knew exactly how to get us comfortable in front of the camera. She knows how to make everyone have a great time and forget the cameras are even there! Also she will make sure you get all the picture you are imagining and more, so don't be afraid to speak up if you have a vision in your mind! I was so beyond happy with all the pictures she got of the bridal party getting ready, our bridal pictures, our ceremony, or reception, and more. Now I have something to look back on remember how amazing and special our wedding was!! I HIGHLY recommend her for Weddings and any other occasion you want beautiful, authentic memories to look back on.

Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Skylar is a fun, efficient, and detail oriented. As a planner, having a photographer who is on top of their game is a wedding day godsend! Skylar easily makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera with posing while capturing the small inbetween moments. Having someone capture your wedding day the Skylar does is worth the investment!!

We had a non-traditional wedding and were on a tight budget, but Bouquet was able to accommodate us and provide us with a wonderful experience. We were only doing church photos, a few couples' shots, and minimal coverage of our reception. Bouquet sent a thorough questionnaire beforehand to inform her of the run of show for the day and our expectations. She arrived on time, introduced herself and got to work! Bouquet was a joy to work with. She was game for all of our ideas and made sure we got all the requested shots and then some. We wanted to do some more candid photos with grittier NYC shots as the background. Bouquet was totally game and really followed our lead while giving some helpful suggestions for specific poses. She had the best attitude, wasn't pushy at all, and treated everyone so kindly. We loved working with her and highly recommend her for your wedding.

She was and is more than just a photographer, she’s a friend. Her work is absolutely stunning and I would recommend her to anyone.

I travel to ALL 50 states as well as internationally!

From the initial appointment, Lindsay was so warm and friendly - she made the entire process so unbelievably smooth. I never once had to worry or ask for communication - because she was always on top of everything before I had to ask. She was a great resource for us. When it came to the engagement session, ceremony, and reception, Lindsay made us feel so comfortable (we are notoriously awkward in front of a camera & she really made us feel 100% comfortable, which made every event more fun because she could capture our most authentic selves. Any random idea I saw I would ask her about and she was so receptive to it all & catered the entire experience to us (she also gave incredible ideas that fit with our personal style which were some of my favorite shots). Overall - we LOVED working with her & I would not have changed a single thing about her or the process, she did a fabulous job capturing our special days & she acclimated exceptionally to the different styles of each event.

I'm a big big fan of love, laughter, and DIY taco bars. As a Virginia Wedding Photographer I am so excited to share this space with current and future clients because this work is where my passion lives. I have not only built a business over the past few years, but I've built the best family/ support system a girl could ask for. I love fun energy and a good adventure, so don't be afraid to step out of the cozy field look to climb that mountain or get a little dirty. I’m here to make your dreams come true, furry friends included. All that being said I am out here doing what I love and thats capturing all types of moments.

Jade is PHENOMENAL! I has switched to Jade from another photographer and it was the best decision we made! She’s so professional and easy going. We were super nervous about our engagement and the wedding but Jade always made us feel at ease. She’s great with directing us for poses (we had no idea what we were doing!).

Karim, the owner and lead photographer of Ra Weddings, is absolutely magnificent! Karim flew from Florida to do my intimate backyard wedding in New Jersey. I had only family at my small wedding during COVID-19 and Karim accommodated to my exact needs! He was respectful to my whole family, got along with everyone so well, and has become a best friend of mine. The photos he took are so detailed and beautiful. He got all the best angles of my husband and I, captured the candid moments through the ceremony, and completely blew me away with the gallery! He exceeded all expectations of a photographer and provides so much more! He’s your friend, he supports your exact needs, and he gets the best photos. I highly recommend Karim for your wedding if you love all the colorful and sharp photos like me! 10 stars!!!!

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
I interviewed six photographers before selecting Carlsbad Photo. Irina was so easy to deal with from start to finish. We live out of state and I was nervous about selecting a photographer I had never met, but Irina put those nerves to rest. Our wedding photos turned out so beautiful and she captured our beach wedding perfectly! Carlsbad Photo and Irina were an excellent choice! She was fun to work with and her talents behind the lens are fantastic! Irina even sent us a sneak peek the very next day after our wedding so we can share them with our family and friends!!! We recommend Irina to everyone! Irina did a fantastic job of capturing beautiful moments for our wedding we’ll treasure forever!!!

I’m Kristen, your Napa-based natural light photographer effortlessly capturing classic, timeless images one dirty joke at a time. Are you a KCP Couple? Are you kind, vivacious, and have impeccable style? Do you appreciate the finer details? Are you classy, but still have a dirty sense of humor? Do you love when things run on time? Do you know how to throw a good party? If you said yes to any of these, then I believe this is the start of something beautiful!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Kristen made us feel comfortable. She was able to take charge when it rained on our wedding day and delayed the ceremony by over an hour. I do not know what we would have done without her!! She kept everyone laughing and relaxed, and for that I cannot thank her enough. Even with the delay, she was able to finish the family pictures, our couples pics, and the wedding party AND still managed to get us to the reception ON TIME! She was absolutely incredible and even our wedding planner was so impressed by her! The pictures turned out to be everything we imagined and more and we cannot recommend her enough to our friends and family.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

We’ve known Kaitlyn for a while and were so honored to have her capture our wedding events! She was there for the proposal, engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and the wedding day! Kaitlyn is so fun to be around and so incredibly talented! We really appreciated her “fly on the wall” approach so we could just enjoy ourselves and live in the moment without having to worry about posing. Looking forward to having her capture many more of our milestones in the future :)

I’m Monica Cassell, and I’m on a mission to ensure your photos are really damn good. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just choosing another vendor who’ll punch in and punch out. Hell no. You’re choosing a comprehensive client experience. I prioritize spending time with you, getting to know you individually and as a couple, and serving you in this season through engagement photos, recommendations, and anything else you might need. By the time you run through the sparkler tunnel to your getaway car, we’ll be so close you might just ask me to come with you (JK, unless it’s Disneyworld).

Monica is beyond AMAZING!!! We love in the Dallas area. She did our Engagement Session in San Antonio and is doing our wedding in Florida. She also did my Bridal portraits and a Boudoir session! She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I was blown away by the images she captured. I even hired her to do multiple branding photoshoots for my company. I trusted her so much and was so impressed that I hired her to do my daughter's wedding in October!!!

When I first started looking for coordinators, I had the opportunity to speak to several different individuals. Alissa was able to stick out among them given her amazing personality and strive to build relationships. From day one she was committed to every detail and going above and beyond to help me in every area needed. She was always just a text or phone call away throughout the year and always managed to make time for me. As we got closer to the big day, she made sure every little detail was in order and made sure we got things done, even in the midst of all the crazy! Come day of the wedding and I truly could not have imagined a better team. Alissa and Regan MADE my wedding. They made sure everything went smoothly and tackled any issues I was aware about and not aware about. I was taken care of all night and it was quite obvious their number one goal was to make sure my husband I were happy. Our entire family and friends had nothing but great things to say and have asked for their contacts to recommend to everyone. Needless to say…. Grant and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Sweet Bliss Media!

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you have spent even just a few minutes checking out McKenna's work, it is obvious how good she is at getting her subjects comfortable! Creating images that are playful and honest. Well crafted and timeless. Intimate and irresistibly fun. But what you may not be able to see through the limitations of your computer screen, is how she exudes positivity, enthusiasm, and carries a genuine curiosity. Does this sound like someone who you would want at your wedding? I hope so. I have had the pleasure of working along side her while capturing video and I'd happily have her at every wedding taking the photos! Hire her to tell your story.
