Our planners recommended our GeeQ Photos, and I’m so glad they did. From our first initial meeting with George, everything was so well organized and seamless. He communicated the expected timeline and requirements so clearly, and he definitely delivered. During our wedding weekend, he had a clear vision of how our photos should turn out, and he made sure to capture the perfect shots. George is very detail-oriented and ensured that every moment was beautifully captured. He and his team got along with my family and friends wonderfully, and everyone was impressed with his professionalism. After our wedding, he communicated the timeline for delivering the final photos and met the deadline as promised. The photos came out absolutely stunning and everyone is so impressed with his work. We would highly recommend George and GeeQ Photos team again and again. They were amazing, and I pray God continues to elevate his business to greater heights.

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

Finding a good photographer was high on our priority list for vendors. We got married outside in the Catskill Mountains and as such we wanted a photographer capable of capturing the depth of the forest. After looking through Sam's portfolio we knew she was good, but after working with her and seeing her work firsthand we can say she's the best. Getting your photo taken can be awkward, especially given the high stakes of a wedding. But Sam is able to make you feel immediately comfortable while simultaneously taking the most stunning photos you'll ever see. We also had a connection session with her, which we would highly recommend so that you can know how she works - very fun and relaxed, but professional. Sam helped us outline the entire day of the wedding, and based on her knowledge the day went off without a hitch. We're so grateful she agreed to work with us!

Finding the right wedding photographer is very important! Each of my clients (turn friends) are extremely special to me. We will find a time to grab a coffee and discuss what you envision for your wedding day, talk details, timeline, colors, and so much more! Together we will create photographic memories that will never be forgotten.

We used Rachel for our engagement photos and wedding, and she was a total pro! Not only are her photos absolutely stunning, but she is excellent at what she does. She helped keep the timeline of the day going and helped us with the finer details. She is very efficient while not sacrificing quality. She also helps you feel at ease with everything, which is super important on such a crazy day! We would definitely recommend her to anyone and you will be happy with your photos from her for years to come!

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

Jose is fantastic! He has so much experience and very professional. Before our wedding day, he always had quick and clear communication. We loved his artistic eye and dramatic style of photography. He knows how to give good direction for those that aren’t used to posing or being photographed, and was always looking for the next shot. He definitely lets you be you and can still get amazing shots. We were surprised at how quickly we got to preview our gallery. After the wedding day, I realized that there was so much I didn’t get to document personally to remember the details from that day. But after seeing some of the shots, Jose had made me so happy to see how much he documented from the day! I highly recommend Jose :)

I'm a destination wedding & elopement photographer. I was born and raised in Rhode Island but I spend most of my time on flights documenting beautiful love stories all over the world. As a child all, I can remember was carrying around one of those Fujifilm cameras and taking photos of family and friends. Fast forward to 2017, I decided to take my hobby of photography seriously. Here I am years later running my business full-time & I love what I do. Capturing the raw moments and being the one to capture memories that you will look back on years to come.

Sheila Torres Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Sheila was incredibly responsive, effective, and understanding of our needs and vision. Her communication style put us at ease throughout the process. The quality of her work is simply stunning - the photos are bright, vibrant, and of the highest quality. Sheila made sure our wishes were met at every turn, from helping us create an epic fantasy engagement shoot to ensuring we got photos of every family member we wanted. As photography was so important to us, Sheila exceeded our expectations and captured more special moments than we could have hoped for. We are thrilled with the end result and highly recommend Sheila Torres Photography to any couple planning their wedding.

Welcome! I'm Anita. I aim to freeze moments in time, ensuring they never fade away. Awkward in front of the camera?

We chose little cacti photography after meeting with a bunch of different photographers for our micro-wedding/elopement ceremony. Anita was such a pleasure to work with and knew exactly what we wanted to make our special day extra special. She lived up to our expectations and then some.

We couldn't be happier with how she captured our special day. We highly recommend Little Cacti Photography.

Anton and Natalie were absolutely amazing to work with! I was stuck on making a wedding timeline and they took right over and sent me one to get me started! Communication leading up to the big day was frequent and helpful. On the big day, Natalie went above and beyond, holding my train, holding my drink, and stepping in and buttoning my dress when my mother wasn't able. I will forever be grateful for all of the extra things she helped with that day. The photos were excellent and had their artistic touch that makes them unique and standout photographers. They definitely have a long and successful career ahead of them.

We are a family-owned wedding photography and videography company that was started in 2012. At heart, we're all just a bunch of fun-loving misfits with cameras who love what we do and want to put smiles and tears of joy on people's faces when they see the photos and videos we take. We have over 1000 weddings behind our belt and countless moments of happiness.

We wish we could give "I Do" Photography and Nathan (our photographer) 10 stars! They worked our wedding at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills and did an absolutely incredible job (more details below). Sarah, our go-to contact person from day one, went way above and beyond in being accessible for questions, taking note of our vision and making great suggestions. In short, she was a total delight to work with, as was the case with Nathan. Prior to the wedding, Nathan took time out of his busy life to get on a video call with Corey and I to discuss our timeline, vision and final details. The questionnaire Sarah provided before that was also extremely helpful in conveying our vision, and it was evident Nathan had reviewed those responses in detail before our call. Nathan and The "I Do" Photography team listened attentively and noted all of our requests and gave great suggestions, but always made it clear it was up to us and they wanted to execute whatever was most important to us. We left our meeting with Nathan feeling so at ease about the people who would capture our day! The craziest part is Nathan was even more spectacular on the wedding day itself than we could have ever expected and brought the most incredible energy and enthusiasm for SEVEN hours straight. Nathan worked tirelessly throughout the evening, and he and the "I Do" team's commitment to excellence was evident in every interaction with them in the lead-up and every moment throughout the wedding. We are so in love with our wedding photos and cannot get over the talent and quality of Nathan and the editing team. Corey and I hope many more couples get to experience what we did throughout the process and couldn't be more thankful for the role that Nathan and the broader "I Do" team (Sarah, Anna and Lydia) played!

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

Choosing a photographer is always hard, it is even more nerve racking when choosing your wedding photographer. That wasn’t the case when we met and connected with Viviana. Viviana from the start was able to put us at ease and was incredibly welcoming. She was very open and helpful as we navigated the planning process. During the day of our wedding we felt like we were in safe and good hands. We didn’t feel like we had to act a certain way or pose in an inauthentic manner. We felt at ease and like our true selves throughout. Viviana’s approach and warmth helped us be our true selves and embrace the day to its fullest. When we received the photos we were thrilled about how they all came out. We loved that each picture captured a special moment on our special day. Whether that was at our first look, ceremony, or when we hit the dance floor. We included pictures to our friends along with our thank you notes. It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Viviana on our wedding day photography. We highly recommend her and her work for your wedding!

Raquel was an absolute no-brainer and one of the best decisions we made. She took stunning photos at a friends' wedding and her work is impeccable. She has a strong eye, works hard to capture the day all while making you feel at ease. While the more formal portraits she took were gorgeous, she really shines at capturing the more personal moments between couples, family, and friends. Importantly, she tells you exactly what she needs you to do while accomodating your requests. To top it all off, she is a warm, caring and friendly person. I can't reccomend her work more and best of luck if you can lock her in before someone else does. Thanks Raquel!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Marie for my wedding, newborn photos, and holiday photos, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results each and every time! From start to finish, the entire experience is always seamless, professional, and enjoyable. Communication: Right from the initial inquiry, Marie was responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She took the time to understand what I was looking for, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure all my questions were answered promptly. Professionalism: On the day of the wedding or shoot, Marie was punctual, prepared, and had a clear vision for the session. She made me feel at ease immediately and was very patient throughout the process. Whether it was guiding me through poses or letting me just be natural, she struck the perfect balance. Creativity and Skill: The photos speak for themselves! Marie has a fantastic eye for detail and composition. The lighting, framing, and editing were all spot-on, capturing moments in a way that felt both artistic and authentic. Whether it was candid moments or more posed shots, each photo felt personal and unique. Final Product: The final images were delivered on time, and I was blown away by the quality. The editing was flawless, enhancing the photos without overdoing it. It was clear that Marie put a lot of care and effort into the post-processing, and it truly paid off. I can't recommend Marie enough. Whether you're looking for someone to capture a special event, a personal portrait, or any other kind of photography, Wild Elegance is an excellent choice.

Keith MacDonald Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, his communication was clear, transparent and made us feel comfortable. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - he captured every shot we had envisioned, even when we unexpectedly had to shoot our first look in rain and sneak the bridal party photos in during then too. Keith made us so comfortable during our photo sessions, helping us feel at ease despite our natural discomfort in front of the camera. Keith has a true talent for seeing through that and capturing us exactly as we had hoped. He is a one-of-a-kind photographer, and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories he was able to create for us on our special day.

Caitlin Cooper Photography

  • Serves Melrose, NY

I’ll try to keep this short: I’m a silly, introverted, rule breaker with a sincere whimsical streak. Originally from Iowa with a decent chunk of time spent bopping between Minneapolis and Oregon, I love weddings + photography (duh), my nephew, a stiff gin + tonic, propagating too many damn houseplants, and my cats. Last I checked I’m an INFP, Enneagram 4, and Capricorn which makes me quite the pragmatic daydreamer + observer: as unnecessarily prepared as a Boy Scout, curiously creative, and hella laid back, all of which uniquely prepares me for the ebb and flow of a wedding day.

I can't say enough good things about Caitlin! My partner and I wanted more non-traditional portraiture for both our engagement photos and wedding and Caitlin just immediately understood the vibe we wanted. She's great at getting to know her clients and making you feel comfortable in front of the lens. Similarly, she just melts into the background during the wedding and captures everything you wanted and more, all without being front and center. You won't regret hiring her and I'd say book her while you still can, because she's only set to blow up more :)

My name is Danielle Majka. Also called Danielle Love by my husband, hence the business name :) I am a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Port Saint Lucie in South Florida. I have always known that I wanted to pursue a career with some form of creativity. I graduated with a degree in graphic design in 2011 and began working as a graphic designer at a local sign shop. While I loved most of the job, I learned that I really wasn’t meant to sit behind a desk from 9-5. I began taking photos for family and friends and loved it! That’s when I dove head first into photography.

Danielle and her staff were absolutely phenomenal! She was super professional while still being playful!Everything is laid out and explained and her organization is a work of art! She has you fill out a questionnaire that allows you to list exactly what you want, who is in the pictures and what order! It made the day of run so smooth and painless! The pictures we received were perfect, elegant, and absolutely beautiful! She was able to capture the exact style of pictures we wanted! Would recommend 10/10 to anyone looking for the perfect photographer! Thank you again Danielle!! ️
