Are you ready to turn your special moments into timeless treasures? Meet Noah Gelfman, your go-to wedding photographer for creating magical memories that will last a lifetime! With a passion for storytelling through stunning visuals, Noah has garnered a reputation as the ultimate choice for couples seeking artistic, emotive, and breathtaking wedding photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Noah is an absolute pleasure to work with and would highly recommend him. I originally hired him to shoot my wedding a two years ago and have since kept in touch and hired him for my own company events. For me communication was crucial when speaking and selecting our vendors and I don't think there was a single email that wasn't responded within less than 24 hours. This was what made us originally select Noah. Noah made us feel at ease throughout the whole process leading up to our big day and even more so on our wedding day. He showed up early, was organized and professional but friendly as well. He made us a priority before, during and after the wedding was done. Within a week Noah delivered to us our entire wedding gallery, something that both my spouse and I were astounded and pleasantly surprised with. After reading and hearing horror stories of some photographers taking months to deliver photos, Noah eased all our fears once again and sent us a full gallery online. The icing on the cake is the photography itself. My wife and I loved all the photos and he did such a great job of capturing the day. I'll continue to hire Noah for anything photography related and have already recommended him to several close friends.

Mary Shelton Media

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

Mary was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was so much fun made us feel like absolute rock stars during our engagement session wedding. Mary was even willing to meet us in Miami to shoot our engagement photos in a one of a kind location. She helped to make our entire wedding experience incredible documented our day so exceptionally well. I am so thankful for the photos that Mary took the friendship that has blossomed from this opportunity to work together.

He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was the best! My husband and I would not have wanted anyone else to capture our special day. He did our engagement and wedding photos and our photos came out incredible! Jason is professional, friendly, and his outgoing personality makes the shoot so comfortable and enjoyable. During our wedding, he also went above and beyond by making sure to take care of us. He knows the ups and downs of a wedding, so he would make sure we were okay by reminding us to stay hydrated and to eat, he would be so great communicating the schedule for the day, and what to expect and what to do throughout the photoshoot. So grateful for his expertise and we totally recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

  • Serves McHenry, IL

Hey guys! I'm Naomi - the one behind the camera. PLEASE CONTACT ME ON MY WEBSITE. I am a mom of 2 - Bentley (3) and Kennedy (3 months). I am also a dog mom to a 98 pound Rhodesian ridgeback. My husband and I have been married since September 2019 and love working and growing our business together. I like to describe my style as timeless and candid...and I looove to capture movement and emotion. I am always focused on getting genuine emotion with my couples. My goal is to become your biggest cheerleader and lifelong friend :D

I was very nervous about hiring a photographer for our wedding, as both of our parents regret their photography decisions for their days. Naomi was recommended to me, and I’m so glad she was! When she did our complimentary engagement session, I found that not only was she professional, but she was also kind and easy to talk to. This made my nervous now-husband feel at ease. And wow—when we got the photos back, we were floored! Seeing her at our wedding was like seeing an old friend—she’s that easy and kind. Naomi did an amazing job with the photos while also helping me emotionally with the day. For example, it started raining 5 minutes before our outdoor wedding, and everything had to be moved to a tent. Naomi came up to me and said, “I want you to know it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day.” That comment helped me stay in the moment and not feel disappointed with the sudden change. I would recommend Naomi to any family member or friend to photograph your big day. Because I know, unlike our parents, we will never regret our decision.

We are excited to start this journey and we can’t wait to become friends with you during it!

Passion filled Austin wedding photographers that give you the peace of mind that comes from having photographers beaming with vibrant personality capturing the emotional, authentic, joyful moments of your day .

If you need the most amazing photographers for your wedding... please, book this duo. Brett & Joanna are an incredible husband wife team. Brett is hilarious and so easy to get along with. Joanna gives direction well and again, is hilarious. Both communicate SO well and their passion for photography is inspiring. We felt more than comfortable with them along our entire journey!! Our photos are GORGEOUS and they truly captured the memories that we will remember forever. I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!

During the day of, Jake blended into the scene and was not intrusive to the day itself. He made sure that we got every shot that we had asked for. He also called us aside for some photos during the reception at golden hour, which was a special time to escape for a few minutes. Jake delivered the photos within the promised timeframe. And we were delighted with the results. My 2 older siblings have both used Jake as their wedding photographer, and I'm glad I followed in their footsteps!

Hi loves, I'm Sarah! I'm a destination wedding photographer and mother of two... CATS! I'm a big dreamer, romantic and creator, so you can only imagine how much I love what I do and sharing my passion with the couples I meet. I'm all about documenting authentic moments and getting to learn your love story.

So, if you love my style and don't mind working with my team the day of your wedding, the option is always there for you.

Sarah did an amazing job from the get go. She showed up earlier then she said she would and got some great shots I didn't even know she was taking. She was around for the entire night and captured the essence of our wedding. We are so happy with our pictures and the quality of work provided by Sarah. The turnaround time for the pictures was less then two months even though the contract says up to three (we got lucky!). We love them and are so appreciative of the memories.

Hi I'm Patty, your wedding photographer. I am based in West Michigan and spend over 50% of my season servicing Detroit & Chicago couples. Along with servicing the Michigan and Chicago market, I have slowly begun to expand my territory to include destination work with places like Texas, Virginia, Florida and Spain. I serve couples who understand that this season is one worth being celebrated and remembered. The couples who embrace their family and their people however that looks. Most importantly I serve those who see these photographs as an investment into their legacy.

Choosing Patty to be our photographer was the greatest decision we’ve ever made! From the moment we met her to receiving our wedding photos, Patty was INCREDIBLE. She made a wonderful effort to get to know us before our engagement shoot. Not only is Patty a phenomenal photographer, but she has also become such a sweet friend - going as far to lend me her Hulu password so we could be caught up on How I Met Your Father together. I felt like she understood our style and matched our energy wonderfully. During our engagement shoot in Saugatuck, Michigan, I was insistent we went to the beach to take some photos. Little did we know it would be a nearly mile hike in the heat of summer to get there. Despite sweating our butts off, Patty had a smile on her face the entire time and was incredibly professional. The photos were breathtaking and exceeded our expectations. During our wedding day Patty was there for every special moment, big and small. We didn’t worry once about the photos because we knew we were in wonderful hands. We had about 225 guests and both have big families, Patty was able to manage all of us during our family portraits! Patty is such a genuine person with a remarkable eye and talent. We can’t recommend Patty enough to be your wedding photographer!

Why do I take photos? Well I’m glad you asked! When I was a teenager I was thrown from one of my horses and lost my long term memory. Thankfully my father was into photography and I notice that looking back at family photos helped to trigger my memory! With the fear of hitting my head and potentially loosing my memory again, I started taking photography classes and was obsessive about taking photos. Whenever I take photos for a client I remember how important it was to my recovery to have images of my life.

Elyse is the best. She is great with directing you into the perfect pose, always making sure you are show your best self. Her photography is natural and bright. I chose her for all our family photos and business photos because her editing and photography is timeless. She is great at getting everyone's attention and keeps things moving. Friendly, personable, reliable, basically every positive word describes Elyse and her photography! It's always hard to pick favorites when we get our galleries!

Courtney is everything you could want in a photographer. Photography was a top priority for my wedding and I'm so thankful I went with Expedition Joy. My photos are the exact "timeless, bright and airy (without being washed out)" that I dreamed of. She made us feel super comfortable, took feedback and let us request shots, quickly turned around our engagement session & wedding sneak peaks, and even let us sneak a shot back within 24 hours (insane!!!!). Photos are so important and you should book someone you can trust to give you the gift of those memories in the way you you want and envision them. Courtney did just that for us!! 10/10.

For as long as I can remember I have always been around a camera. Growing up, my Mom was a big documenter of life freezing childhood moments in prints and recording videos. For my ninth birthday I received my first camera. GAME CHANGER. Boy was it fun to step on the other side of the camera. I was unstoppable, never letting my camera leave my side. From then on I cannot remember I time I hadn't owned a camera... or two... or three! Giving other the gift of memories is what brings me the most joy in life. To know that they will have moments they loved shared and reminisced for generations to come. That is everything.

Joy has been absolutely wonderful to work with in all capacities. She puts a lot of effort into getting to know her clients with personal touches that do not go unnoticed. Most photos taken of me (the bride) in normal life are of the marathon / running photo variety, so I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel with more posed couple photos. Joy made everything feel so natural and easy between both the engagement shoot and the wedding day. Joy is extremely organized and is fantastic with time management - her template for the timeline worked so well for further planning. When the ceremony ran over, she got us back on target and moving out of the church while getting all the photos we had requested. She has such great vision for small details and how things will photograph - I often said “I trust your vision!” and the photos turned out so stunning! I especially wanted to remember the day in color, and Joy absolutely delivered on that (and quickly, too - the sneak peeks came back the next day!). She truly captured the magic of a fairytale day, and I am thankful to her and her team for their hard work. Joy is an invaluable asset to have on your wedding day, and you truly will not regret booking with her.
