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.

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!

I'm Val - I value authenticity, connection, and love. I feel so lucky to spend my days photographing weddings, traveling to new places, and witnessing couples sharing their heart. I can’t think of a better way to spend my days. As someone who is married, I deeply understand how significant and special a wedding day truly is. It’s about the love, the people, and all the emotions felt—the moments you’ll cherish and reminisce for decades to come.

Val was beyond incredible as our wedding photographer! She flew all the way to Florida to capture our special day, and she made us feel so at ease from the get-go. Her energy was infectious, and she had us laughing and enjoying ourselves the whole time. Val was super prepared, knowing exactly where we needed to be and who we needed to be with during the shoot, making it all so seamless and stress-free. She even brought us a locket to add to the bridge where we were capturing photos. Something I so badly wanted but in the midst of everything..I forgot! She pays attention to those details. It was like having a friend there who just happened to be a photo wizard. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing every beautiful moment perfectly. I have been married over a year now and I still look at these photos all the time. If you want a photographer who makes your day fun and captures it beautifully, Val is your girl! PS. She also did my engagement photos and from there on I wanted her to capture every big moment in our lives!

Anthony Constantine Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Manhattan Beach, 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.

Hi! My name is Laura & I'm so happy you are here reading this little bio because it means we just might be a great match! (WooHoo:) Quick 411 on me:) I've been married now for over 26 years & counting! 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! Something unexpected about me (for most people:) is that I'm a new "chicken mom" my kids think I've lost it, but really they have just been replaced is all haha-I'm kind of obsessed with them! Haha:)

Laura is amazing. We booked her and her daughter, Rio, for our elopement in Zion National Park. It was just my husband and I so we really wanted someone to capture every moment so we could share it with our family. She did just that. Every picture still takes my breath away, a year later. She is so sweet and we love that we have been able to keep in contact since our elopement. Absolutely hire her for any event, portraits, etc.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so so happy we got our wedding photos from Brynna! I genuinely mean this because of a couple of reasons. She was very understanding about our schedule. We are from out of town, my husband was coming back from deployment right before, and with covid thrown in she was very flexible with scheduling and professional when dealing with us. The photoshoot itself went very well! My husband and I had never taken professional photos before and she not only made us feel at ease but she was able to show our personality in our photos while also making us look GOOD. It was a very fun day taking photos and that showed in the product- they turned out better than I could have hoped for. This brings me to my last point- the photos genuinely are amazing and everything I wanted. I don't typically review things like this on the internet but everything about this experience exceeded expectations and I honestly just wanted to give her that recognition. I would definitely recommend Brynna and I hope this review helps you in your decision in choosing a wedding photographer!!

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
We worked with Skyler on an intimate wedding and her and her crew could not have been more personable, professional, or reliable. Her caring demeanor set the mood for the day and made everyone feel so welcome. Her and her team's vision for shots were unique and beautiful, truly capturing the essence of the day. Cannot wait to work with them again!

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.

Photography has been a lifelong passion for me and I truly found my happy place when I started photographing weddings. Capturing every relationship and everything that makes it unique and beautiful make my heart all warm and fuzzy. I am here for all of the silly laughs and intimate snuggles. I am always going to make those around me feel comfortable; this might be by making jokes at my own expense or it could be showing you photos as I take them to make sure you see what a freakin’ BABE you are.

Where do I begin? Emily is incredibly talented to start, just check out her webpage! The pictures she takes are very professional and top quality. She captures emotion and feeling in her pictures. Emily provided us so much support leading up to and on our wedding day. We thought we were hiring a photographer but ended up having a true friend in the process. She is so responsive and checked in multiple times leading up to our wedding. Emily was truly part of our day and helped make our day so smooth. She can stick to the schedule but adapts quickly when things change. She smiled the entire day and knew exactly what poses we should do but also captured the best candid moments. She had never worked with our videographer before but they worked together so well. And I also need to give a shout-out to Wilson, her partner. They just work so well together!! I highly recommend Emily for any of your photographer needs, she has now done multiple family events for us and we will continue to use her in the future. Thank you Emily and Wilson for making our day so special.

I’m an inclusive intimate wedding and elopement photographer located in Colorado (or anywhere you take me!). I love photographing elopements and my approach to shooting is to bring out the playful energy in my couples and prioritize their connection to one another as well as my connection with them. 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!).

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.

Irina from Carlsbad Photo was an exceptional wedding photographer. Despite having to change our plans due to travel restrictions, Irina captured every moment flawlessly. She arrived early, helped organize our dressing room, and was great with our daughters. The photos she took, including our first touch, still bring tears to our eyes. Irina expertly captured all the fun and dances, as well as our crazy families. Highly recommended!

My husband and I were fortunate enough to find Jessica on a wedding website, and she checked all of the boxes for us! She was very flexible with timing when scheduling meetings and very accommodating with our vision! Her work is such a great quality, and has an incredible personality where it is very easy to talk to her!

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.

My husband and I can't recommend Kaitlyn enough. From the booking process, our engagement shoot, through the wedding itself Kaitlyn was thoughtful, professional, and attentive to our preferences and requests. She even drove 3 hours to do our engagement shoot in Wisconsin and was able to film our ceremony on her own! Her sneak peek the next day made us so so happy, and she got every photo on our list, including some out of order or spontaneous based on how the day went. We couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn's services! Rachel & Alex

Svat is a professional and an artist! We had a few hours set aside for photos before the ceremony and I honestly feel like we could have just taken pictures with Svat all day. He gives enough direction without it feeling like he's just shouting at you; the photos we've received so far are edited SO beautifully; and he worked with us to curate a mix of posed and candid shots to perfectly capture our big day! I feel like we got so lucky booking Svat and would definitely work with him again, given the opportunity!

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!
