We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
McKenzie was everything I could have asked for in a photographer. I spent a lot of time looking through photographers in the area, as having nice photos to look back on was super important to me. We don't live near where our venue was, so I was a bit nervous about not being able to meet the vendors ahead of time, but this was not a problem at all. McKenzie was very communicative and video called me for our meetings, was up front about the costs and payments, and honestly just so so sweet. I genuinely felt like she was just as excited about my wedding as I was. Her positive attitude was so reassuring and I knew right away that we made the right choice. On our wedding day, she gave great direction for posing, which was super helpful as our bridal party (bride & groom included) were not very experienced working with a professional photographer. I have a pretty big blended family, and McKenzie was so helpful organizing everybody and making sure everyone looked their best for photos (even making it work when some family members made things complicated). We had a videographer as well that McKenzie had never worked with before, but you couldn't tell that they had just met that day, as the worked so well together. When people were at risk of interrupting our photos, she kindly asked them to move, and snuck me out for sunset photos during the ceremony with ease. We had our "sneak peek" photos sent to us only a few days after the wedding which were so sweet to look at during our honeymoon. She even included a sweet card in our card box. Not only is she talented, but she is kind, helpful, understanding, and it felt like I was working with a friend (despite basically being strangers). These are photos I will have to look back on to remember these moments forever and I am so grateful I chose the right photographer. I would highly recommend McKenzie to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any service she offers.

I’m Katy, a Michigan based wedding + event photographer who loves to travel. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016. My love for photography started out when I was about 6 years old. I’m a huge goofball, so if you’ve ever thought “I’ll be too awkward in photos," I know what you mean. We can be goofballs together, and I promise I won’t let you look awkward in any of your photos. A little more about me: I'm a foodie. Send bar/restaurant recommendations please! I spend a good portion of my time at concerts when I'm not photographing anything. I'm also a HUUUUGE Detroit Red Wings fan!

Katy is AMAZING! Our photos turned incredible and were everything we dreamed of. Not only that, Katy was such a wonderful part of our day. We had a very small wedding and every person that interacted with her or saw her working was obsessed with her. All I heard the following day was how great she was and how fun she made the day. I wish I could get married again to have her so my pictures again!

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

Hi, I'm Madalyn Muncy-Piens, the lady behind the lens over here at Madalyn Muncy Photography. I'm not into being the center of attention so I keep your wedding ALL ABOUT YOU. I'm all about balance, so I'm the perfect combination of organized and flexible, proactive yet not overbearing, knowledgeable but not bossy, and a comforting presence both with and without a camera in hand. When you hire me, you get someone who genuinely cares about comparing photos of our dogs, sharing recipes for dinner, and listening to your book recommendations. Check out my website or Instagram to learn more about me!

Madalyn was probably the best photographer we could have asked for, it was like having a friend instead of a vendor throughout the day. She just does a great job of capturing candid and genuine emotion, and after getting all of our photos back we loved how she was able to capture us (and pretty much everyone else) looking great and having fun without being overly posed. In addition, she was so incredibly organized and professional throughout the entire process, she got us our timeline and I was able to use that to build the rest of our day-of-schedule around it. She communicated early and often and always made sure she got the list of required photos we wanted so we didn’t miss anything. Since she also hadn’t photographed at our venue before, she set up her own meeting with the venue before the wedding to get a tour and walk-through so it wasn’t a surprise on the day of the wedding. She was assertive when she needed to be to wrangle our families for photos but otherwise was extremely flexible in getting shots if the plans changed! Especially since our wedding was late in the winter and we decided against a first look, she made sure to have a lighting assistant on hand to help coordinate additional flash and we got some great evening photos, and the second shooter who helped out had some awesome ideas for important shots too. Also, she got us engagement photo sneak peeks within 24 hours and got us our wedding sneak peeks (40+ photos!) within 48 hours of our wedding. She just made the entire planning experience and photo sessions so comfortable and fun.

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

Kirsten Wray Photography was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Kirsten's communication style was direct, effective, and genuinely sweet - she immediately put us at ease as a couple who doesn't usually love being in front of the camera. Despite having a huge family that was challenging to wrangle, Kirsten was professional, prompt, and thorough in getting all the group shots we wanted. The finished photos are of excellent quality and editing, capturing all the special moments of our day in a way that exceeds our expectations. Kirsten went above and beyond to deliver amazing photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Kirsten Wray Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

I've been specializing in weddings for nearly 15 years. My style includes capturing the many genuine moments that occur during the wedding day in an unobtrusive and low key way. Documenting the day in an artistic and non cheesy way really tells the story of a couple's big day. I feed off the energy from couple's and their guests and craft a story of their day through photos. On a personal note, I have a loving wife, 3 kids and 2 dogs!

Matt is by far one of the best single shooter photographers I have ever met. He is everywhere he needs to be to get all of the amazing shots you want. He is so easy going and professional! You will love every single picture he takes and it will be hard to pick what ones you will want in your wedding album, and on your walls. He gets to know you on a personal level and listens to what you want. He is the best!!

I’m a photographer + graphic designer based in Michigan. I have a slight coffee addiction and you’ll most likely find me sitting in a coffee shop editing away while drinking an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and a scone. I love talking about the Enneagram and will do so for hours if you let me. I binge New girl repeatedly, I love to rock climb, and I look for any excuse to spend time with people. I value hard work and I'm always looking to perfect my craft. Striving to grow and make myself the best version of myself that I can be. Working with people is really special to me and I’m so fortunate to be in a position that allows me to do that.

Noelle Photo was exceptional in every way. Their communication throughout the entire wedding planning process was maintained, helpful, and well-executed. On the day of our wedding, their calming and professional presence was exactly what I needed to slow down the hectic pace. The photographers captured all the beautiful, fleeting moments that we will cherish forever. Their superior skills and attention to detail resulted in photos that are truly worthy of our special day. We are overjoyed with the final product and could not recommend Noelle Photo more highly.

**I will no longer be paying for this listing, if you're interested in having me photograph your wedding, head to my website to take a look at my work and inquire through my contact form.** * 16 years of creating art from your love. My goal as your photographer is to serve you from beginning to end. You deserve to have images that take you back, that help you relive your day over and over again. These moments deserve to be remembered. We're here to tell your story in the most thoughtful, authentic way possible.

I’m typically not that comfortable in front of a camera but Aliscia gives a lot of praise which helped make me feel less awkward, like I was actually doing things right. She seemed to know when I was getting in my head too much and would think of ways to make me laugh and relax like have my husband tickle me or do something very random and silly, which in turn created some of our favorite photos! She somehow is able to capture true genuine emotions of a simple moment. Now, every time I walk by our photo wall at home I can’t help but smile and be taken back to those moments and feelings. This woman has a gift and is truly amazing at what she does!

I am an intimate wedding photographer based out of my home state, the Mitten. To sum it up, I'm laid back, chill, and ready to hang out. I call myself an intimate wedding photographer because I work best with couples who want a smaller, more close-knit feel to their wedding day and because I offer my clients a sense of familiarity, and comfortability and help them feel relaxed and ready for the day ahead. By the end-we're great friends! My hope with every session I have is that you'll find not only the pictures beautiful but the shared experience one to remember as well.

My husband and I had the greatest experience working with Kaitlin, I cannot say enough good things about her! We both are not super comfortable being in front of the camera and she made the entire experience so comfortable for us and so fun! She brought the best vibes to our day and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and wedding day hype girl! I am so lucky to have found her and we would love to work with her again!! I know booking with a vendor that you never met before can be stressful but Kaitlin made us feel so at ease and comfortable. Her portfolio really speaks for itself. She does amazing work and we LOVE how the pictures turned out as well! She just captured the day so perfectly! We highly recommend working with Kaitlin for your big day!

Hello, my name is Liv and I'm an Adventure Elopement + Destination Wedding photographer based in Colorado. I'm down for just about anything rock climbing, snowboard/skiing, hot air balloon, helicopters, ATV and sand dune riding. If you are up for a unique experience, I am here to capture it! If you want to keep it simple overlooking the mountains I am there! I'm here to tell your story no matter how minimal or adventurous it may be. Best yet, I travel to you! Traveling to new destinations with couples to their desired location is a part of what I do + love to do!

As a provider of entertainment for large events, you work with many different planners, photographers, bands, florists, etc. The quality of the event depends on the quality of the people you hire. Photographs are one thing, but what people don't see is how a photographer can set a tone or a level of comfort that carries through the event team and event. Working with Olivia on multiple jobs were some of my favorite experiences because not only were the photos exceptional, the way she guided and calmed the guests and team makes for an enjoyable experience all around. I would recommend Olivia for any event and have used Olivia as my personal photographer!
