My name is Ali Cushing, a NY-based photographer, working near and far, capturing life, love, and letting people be themselves. My goal first and foremost is contributing to you having a wonderful experience and getting to live in the moment by being first your friend, and second your photographer; making the photos about the day and not the day about the photos. I approach each opportunity with personalized care and whatever your photographic goals and day's plans, I’d love to be a part of and to document your story. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

I am SO HAPPY that we hired Ali for our wedding! She was so kind and easygoing while also totally in command and on top of every request we had photography wise. Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!

Arrae Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Merrillville, IN for additional fees

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda and her partner did an AMAZING job capturing our August 2024 wedding. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our gallery. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Arrae Photography to any couple.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

She made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire day, and her professionalism and attention to detail were unmatched. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and it truly shows in the final results. If you're looking for a photographer who is passionate, creative, and dedicated to capturing your most special moments, look no further than Diana Marie Photography. We are beyond grateful for her work and cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Diana, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Leah Flores Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots. My favorite things are dinosaurs, exploring new cities, board games, soccer, National Parks, and whiskey. I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my two dogs and three cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I'm 9 years old 🥳!

Awarded Best of Zola
I could write a book about Leah; or at least a very detailed blog post but I'll try to keep it shorter! As a fellow professional photographer, I got the opportunity to meet Leah and work with her as her 2nd photographer on a wedding. It took that one amazing experience and absolute blast of a time to know that whenever it was I got married she was THE photographer for me. Fast forward some years later it was finally my turn to tie the knot and my now husband and I chose our date based on when Leah was available, because there was no other option for me! I have gotten to work with dozens of photographers throughout my going on 10 year career, and I'm telling y'all, it doesn't get better than Leah. The photos - amazing! I love her eye for details, the crispness, the colors! Not to mention she is such a beautiful soul with the best personality and energy, with the professionalism to get a gallery worth of beautiful photos with you barely realizing she's there. While going through our gallery, I was stunned and overjoyed so many times to see things I had NO idea happened or even photos of people that I unfortunately didn't get to spend much time with yet seeing that they still enjoyed themselves. In my opinion, a photographer is the most important vendor you can choose for your wedding day. I am so thankful my experience in the wedding industry allowed me to cross paths with Leah because that made a really important decision very easy for me. And I hope my review can help other soonlyweds out there make a hard decision easier. You will not go wrong choosing Leah to photograph your big day!

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day.

Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

When I was a kid all I wanted to be was a photographer (or a vet) and in 2019 o my husband gave me that opportunity. I left my corporate job to pursue my passion.

MA & CA Your wedding isn’t just a sequence of events—it’s a mix of energy, quiet pauses, and the moments in between that hold the most meaning. You want a photographer who sees the unscripted, the unfiltered, and the unexpected—the things that make your day yours. I work with couples who value nostalgia, emotion, and a little edge in their wedding story. The ones who want their photos to feel like them—unposed, unforced, and unrepeatable. Whether it’s the weight of a glance, the rush of the dance floor, or the way your hands find each other in the middle of it all, every image is a keepsake of your story—without trends, AI edits, or formulas

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first reached out to Love by Justina, we were blown away by their extremely friendly and easy-to-reach communication style. On our wedding day, they were so attentive and on top of everything, ensuring we were able to fully enjoy the experience without worrying about the photography. Despite the rain on our wedding day, Justina went above and beyond to give us a jaw-dropping, moody, and romantic photo shoot the very next day that was beyond our dreams. Their incredible talent truly shines through in the stunning final images, which we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend Love by Justina highly enough - they played a huge role in making our special day perfect.

Millennial Lens Photography LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, Amber was fast, personal, and incredibly effective in their communication style.

We even mentioned to her at one point months later that we were missing a photo that would be important and she ended up finding it for us later - I’m sure that wasn’t easy after looking over photos of pictures and finding one specific one!

Where to even begin with Brittany! First of all she is an amazing person through and through! On our wedding day 2/22/25 she was early and got right to work. She helped us out in ways we couldn't even imagine. She gave us pointers on our nephews fiasco of a suit, ensured it would work out and made it not a big deal. The entire process with Brittany was flawless, she guided us and somehow found our esthetic with the little knowledge we gave her! Her skills are unmatched and we will be considering her for any photos we need in the future! We are excited to see the photos, Brittany showed us some raw pictures on her camera and we were immediately hooked on what she was getting, just ask my now wife Alaina who has said at minimum 5 times a day, "ugh I can't wait to see the photos" "oh I know theses are going to be great" Thanks for everything Brittany! Update we received sneak peeks and are in absolute shock and awe. Brittany had a true talent for this all!

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.

The photos came back absolutely beautiful! 10/10 would definitely recommend him for your wedding or any other event! Thank you again, Salvatore!

Celaska was amazing and so easy to work with. Very professional and fun at the same time. She was able to catch all of our special candid moments along with some of the best bridals I’ve ever seen. She made me feel beautiful and had some of the coolest ideas for pictures. She arrived early, captured every moment of the day and then some. I will definitely be using her in the future for any and all of my photography needs! Her edits are beautiful, and I can’t wait to have them printed and hanging on my wall.

Dj Harrington Photography are amazing kind hearted down to earth people that are very skilled in the photography field. We are so happy with the end results of every single photo shoot we book with them, so of course they had to do our wedding also. Dj and Ashley captured our wedding and all the special moments way beyond my hopes and dreams. Not only did they make us feel comfortable, but they made our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera as well. We had a long distance wedding, on the other side of Michigan and Dj and Ashley were there for every moment. They listened to us and our visions for the pictures and gave us the wedding pictures of our dreams. We had our edited sneak peaks that same night and the rest of the pictures less than a week later. We are so beyond lucky to have had them photograph our wedding and so would you if you hired them.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Eugene is not only an exceptional wedding photographer but also a kind human who handled our rainy and crazy day with amazing calm and professionalism. Despite the weather challenges, Eugene remained composed and managed to capture every special moment perfectly. His ability to stay focused and bring out the best in every shot made our day truly memorable. His communication before, during and after the wedding is top notch. We are so grateful for him!
