As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

Awarded Best of Zola
Laramie is FANTASTIC! Everyone keeps talking about how good the photos are, and my husband agrees and is glad we went with Wandering Creative like I wanted. She was able to cover the entire wedding and get those extra pics of the food and decorations, things that people don't really think about. AND she got the crucial moments. She literally captured his immediate reaction to seeing me coming down the aisle! I looked at so many photographers, but I kept coming back to Wandering Creative because I loved the photos and her vision so much. And she did not disappoint. These are photos that you will look back on for the rest of your life. One of my friends said it best when she said, “she really captured the energy of your wedding”. When I look at these photos, I remember and can feel our happiness and how much fun we had. And thanks to Wandering Creative, I always will.

Kelsey Sheehan Photography was founded in 2019. I made the jump into being a professional photographer to follow my heart and work in a career path that I love! When I am not working you can find me baking with country or 90s/00s R&B blasting, sitting by the fire with my neighbors, doing yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, or hiking with my family. Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start?! From the very beginning of us working with Kelsey she was very professional and accommodating. Not only is she an amazing photographer, she’s an even sweeter person. The day before the wedding for our rehearsal dinner, she came and took photos, she was so great and really was just a great fit for the numerous personalities. For THE BIG DAY, Kelsey was the calming presence I needed. Whenever she picked up on me becoming overwhelmed she was got me back to a place of peace. She took charge in such a graceful way. At the end of this experience with Kelsey and her husband I consider them family and people I will always have a special place in my heart. My wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without her there. This will absolutely not be the last time we working with Kelsey. So Kelsey, thank you for being an amazing photographer but most importantly thank you for being such a beautiful person with an even more beautiful soul and presence.

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough.

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

Hey there, I'm Chris! I'm not your average wedding photographer—I'm here to make sure your images make your heart skip a beat even years down the line. My goal? To capture your big day in a way that fills you with all the feels, every time you look at those photos. I'm all about having a blast and creating memories that will make you smile from ear to ear. Weddings are all about love, laughter, and those precious moments that take your breath away. And guess what? I'm on a mission to freeze those incredible, candid instants so you can relive them over and over again.

Chris and his team were so easy to work with. They were very professional, fun, and easy going. Chris went above and beyond for us in multiple circumstances - from coming to our home for our engagement session to being sure he knew how to perfect our night champagne popping photo. We would recommend 1,000 times over!! Our guests were also very impressed with Chris and his team throughout the entire day!!

Hi! I'm Taylor a Georgia based Wedding photographer, mommy, and cheesecake lover. Obsessed with: Family, Naps, and good books. I’ve been keeping it real since 1997. I started my business when I was just 17 years old. Since then I have turned that small hobby into a full time career photographing beautiful couples love stories. Throughout my 8 years in business, I have been lucky enough to photograph over 200 weddings throughout Georgia and the other southern states.

Taylor was awesome to work with. The vendors I work with never send me galleries. She made sure to get tons of photos of my cake and desserts. I still use the photos on my Instagram!

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

We love our photos that Eugene captured on our wedding! Me and my husband have been looking at them constantly after our wedding and love every single one. We are blown away by how beautifully he captured us, our family and friends on our wedding day. There are a lot of moments where we didn't even know were happening but Eugene did a great job photographing those too. Thank you

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

From the moment we first connected with Mae Krell Photo, we were impressed by their communicative, helpful and knowledgeable approach. Mae was extremely friendly and guided us through the entire process, offering valuable suggestions that made our proposal even more special. The quality of her work is truly exceptional - the photos they captured are not only beautifully composed, but also incredibly meaningful and full of raw emotion that we will cherish forever. Mae was discreet and able to capture intimate, candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love of our proposal. We are beyond thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend Mae Krell Photo to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer to document their special occasions.

I’m Ashlee - owner of ap FILM & PHOTO and I’m so glad you found me! Based out of Cedar Rapids (born, raised and stayed) but I’m down to go anywhere our hearts desire. My photography style is joyous, candid and it looks moody and bright all at the same time. If that’s what you’re after - let’s get started!

Ashlee is the best to work with. I can’t wait to see the rest of my album, I’m already giddy with the sneak peak! She was absolutely everything I wanted in a photographer and more. My husband wasn’t wanting pictures, but during the wedding and afterwards, he was so grateful we had Ashlee capture it. Her style was what I was dreaming of, and if you’re worried about posing, she helps coach your poses. Our wedding was a fantastic day, and she’s one of the reasons it was.

Planning a small destination wedding in Key West from Tennessee felt overwhelming, especially with a short timeline and tight budget. But from the moment I found Lynn, everything changed. Within two days, she had secured all our vendors and stayed in constant communication to keep things running smoothly. Then, just when things got stressful—a hurricane hit Florida the day before we were supposed to fly out! Our flight was canceled, and I was panicked. Lynn called me and remained so optimistic! She helped me stay calm and reassured me we'd make it, and thankfully we were able to fly out the day before the ceremony. On our wedding day, Lynn communicated mostly with family members who were there to minimize any stress on me, which I greatly appreciated. The setup and decor were better than I could have ever imagined and everything flowed perfectly. Lynn took my vision and brought it to life, completely exceeding my expectations. If you need a wedding planner, Lynn is it. She’s professional, caring, and works magic to make your day unforgettable. You can tell she loves what she does, and it truly shows in every detail!
