Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

Nelson Cinematic

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Mesa, AZ

Whether you are throwing a massive get together with all of your friends and family, or putting together a smaller, more intimate wedding day, no day will come close in comparison. I have always loved capturing weddings in a documentary fashion. I don't do super posed photos but instead I like to capture moments as they happen. I don't lay out intricate patterns with bobbins, ribbon and invitations, but instead photograph the small details in their true and simplistic form.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nelson Cinematic was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. Her communication throughout the process was open, honest, and timely. The quality of her work was excellent, and the gallery we received made it a tremendous value. She kept us on schedule and captured so many beautiful candid moments that will allow us to relive our special day for years to come. Even when her flight was delayed, she made miracles happen, working overtime to ensure our wedding was covered by a talented professional just in case. Thankfully she showed up right on time and didn’t miss a beat. She fully captured our vision. We couldn't be happier with the timeless photos we now have to cherish!!

Alyssa Campbell Photography

Mesa, AZ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,450

It’s not enough to simply take beautiful photos of people in epic scenery and bring forth their personalities. Nearly every photographer can do that these days. What I think matters most is being an mirror, a witness to people’s small and big moments in their lives and capturing those for them. I want to capture moments and photos that mean something to my clients throughout their lives- the photos they hang on their walls to bring them joy when they are going through a tough time and the photos that bring them comfort at the funerals of their loved ones.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alyssa is incredible in every way. She did our engagement photos, our wedding and our day after photoshoot. We are so impressed with the quality of the photos! I actually started crying looking at the wedding photos haha. She really knows her stuff, which was so helpful because we had no idea where to start when it came to location for our engagement shoot and in regards to timeline for the wedding. She's hands on where you need her to be, but also hands off and knows how to blend into the background when needed. We hardly noticed her at the wedding but her and her second shooter got every single important shot we could have asked for. She was super friendly and easy to work with, I highly recommend her!

When I’m not with my golden retriever, Rigley, (which is always, since I’m a work-from-home dog mom) adventuring to a new Arizona destination, finding my next favorite taco shop, or trying a new workout, you’ll probably find me in some pretty desert location third-wheeling with super-in-love couples and loving every second of capturing it!

I had a destination wedding so my go to on finding vendors was instagram. As soon as I stumbled on Briquelle’s page I just knew I wanted her take our photos! Her work is so beautiful and matched my aesthetic so well. We had never done any kind of professional photos together and she was great at telling us what to do, to get the best shots and not look awkward. She did our engagement and wedding photos and I’m so in love with all them! She also just started offering videography in her packages as well and we were so lucky to get in on it! It was so beautifully done and captured our day perfectly. Briquelle and her team are hands down the best!

Dana Maruna Photo

Mesa, AZ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500

I'm based out of North Dakota & Arizona but will travel anywhere that your love takes me. I've loved taking photos and anything that involved any form or art ever since I was a little girl. I have an amazing husband of almost 5 years and 3 big wonderful pups. I love to travel, hike, spending days at my local coffee shops and nights at breweries in town.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Dana Maruna and her second shooter, Brie, capture our wedding in Minot, ND, in August 2023. From the moment we first connected with Dana, her exceptional communication skills shone through. She was responsive, attentive, and took the time to understand our vision and preferences, making the planning process a breeze. Dana's professionalism and organization put us at ease, and we knew we were in capable hands. Brie, the second shooter, was equally amazing. Their collaborative work ensured no moment was missed, adding depth and variety to our photos. It was evident that both Dana and Brie were dedicated to providing the best possible service, working seamlessly together. What set Dana apart was her offering of film photography, which added a unique and timeless quality to our wedding photos. We can't wait to see the results, and even though we don't have our full gallery back, we have so much trust that it's going to be wonderful. Dana is not only skilled but also passionate about preserving memories in an artistic and meaningful way. Despite living in NYC, we were lucky to have found Dana for our Minot wedding, and her talent made the distance a non-issue. Additionally, Dana and Brie are the creators of Roam Collective, an educational platform for wedding photographers. They conduct workshops all over the country, showcasing their commitment to advancing the art of wedding photography and giving back to the community. But it's not just about professionalism—Dana has become more than our wedding photographer; she's now a dear friend. This personal connection added an extra layer of warmth and comfort to the entire photography experience. It's truly special to not only have had Dana and Brie document our wedding but also to continue building a lasting friendship with Dana. Their genuine care and personal touch make them stand out as more than just professionals but as people who genuinely care about their clients and their stories. In sum, we couldn't be happier with our choice of Dana Maruna as our wedding photographer. Her exceptional communication, talent, dedication to her craft, and educational initiatives through Roam Collective make her and Brie remarkable individuals in the wedding photography industry. They have not only captured our special day beautifully but have also become cherished friends in the process. We highly recommend Dana and Brie to anyone seeking not only photographers but also dedicated professionals and friends. Thank you, Dana and Brie, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable, and we have complete trust that our full gallery will be just as wonderful as the journey to it.

My name is Laura and I am bilingual (English/Spanish). I moved to Arizona in the beginning of 2022 from New Jersey. It has been bittersweet to redefine myself in a new state. One thing I absolutely refused to leave behind is my love for photography. I moved here with my husband for a change of speed. It has been such a beautiful change! Just like you, I too am in love with the views Arizona has to offer. I am a nontraditional wedding photographer, I am there for all the feels that come with your big day.

Hi, I'm Ricky, owner and lead photographer. Wedding planning doesn't need to be stressful. And you don't have to do it alone. I GOT YOU! You want to enjoy your big day, so I make sure you have time for just the two of you alone and I try to get you back to your cocktail hour as soon as possible so you can enjoy your friends' company. More importantly, I promise through my mix of direction and “fly on the wall” style of photography, you will feel relaxed and excited in front of my lens. All I ask of my couples is to be open-minded, open-hearted, respectful, and unapologetically YOU!! Bottom line, be exactly who you are and I will do the rest.

We had the most amazing experience working with Ricky and Good Eye Photography. The pricing and packing was extremely reasonable and the quality of work was excellent. Ricky was prompt with communicating, took an interest in our vision, personalized a timeline for the day, and was extremely detail oriented. He and his team were so much fun to work with and we received our gallery within less than a month of our wedding. They captured moments/shots that we hadn't even thought of but were so grateful they thought of them. We would work with Good Eye Photography over and over again! :)

In 2021 I quit my day job to pursue my long time love of wedding photography full time... and it's extremely safe to say I have no regrets! I've met the most incredible people through this job, and it fills me up knowing I can give what feels like the ultimate creative gift. I come from a small Illinois town with a large extended family and a circle lifelong friends who might as well be blood. My community, the people I love, and the little things that bond us together mean everything to me. Let me help you celebrate you and yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
We LOVE Andrea! The second we met her in our initial call, we knew that she was the perfect photographer for us. We are both a little camera shy and awkward, and Andrea made us feel comfortable and taken care of! We had Andrea shoot both our engagement photos and our wedding day, and both times, we were absolutely thrilled at how the session/day went, as well as how the photos turned out. Andrea has a background in both video and journalism, so her ability to frame and capture a moment meant that we have these beautiful photos from the most important day in our lives that really reflect the energy, love, and joy. When we look at our photos, we are really brought right back into that moment - and all the memories that come with it, which is everything we could have ever wanted from our photos. In addition to her incredible expertise as a photographer, Andrea is also on top of everything planning/business wise. As someone trying to figure out how to plan a wedding, it was SO helpful to be able to chat with Andrea and learn from her, and she's so organized in her work that it was easy for us. We were able to plan how to spend the day together, she helped us with our timeline, and we collaborated to figure out what types of photos were the most important for us to have - and then she executed. Family photos, in particular, can be chaotic, and we weren't sure how it would go with our various people. Andrea came in and ran things so smoothly, our families were commenting on it even after the wedding - babies, grandmothers, cousins, everyone was captured so wonderfully (and efficiently!!). In addition to everything we can say about Andrea's professional capacities, she is also just an incredible human. There is something so wonderful in being able to say we LOVED our vendors, and Andrea is at the top of that list. From the beginning, we felt like we just "got" each other, and that she was on our team, and we've loved getting to know Andrea over the last year and a half of our life. We've got a photographer - and a friend - for all of the big life moments to come in the future. Don't hesitate to work with Andrea, it'll be the best wedding planning choice (or other life event) you can make, and it'll pay off in so many wonderful ways.

AZ Wedding Photographer was an incredible choice for our wedding photography. Their communication style was quick and amazing, always responding to our questions and requests promptly. The quality of their work and value was high-end and top of the line - they captured all the important details and moments beautifully. Kelly and Filippo went above and beyond to make our wedding day amazing, even getting into a car accident on the way to the wedding but still making our special day their main priority.

It's always hard and stressful when planning a wedding. But especially hard finding the perfect photographer to capture your vision and style on your special day. With Morgan she did a great job, she made it so easy for us leading up to the big day and during our wedding. One of my favorite things she did, aside for our amazing wedding photos, was giving us a shot list. It made sure she knew and we knew exactly what photos we wanted taken throughout our wedding; to make sure we got all the family and friend photos we wanted. Not only was it easy to work with Morgan she made is as stress free as possible which I'm sure was hard to do with the uncertain times during a pandemic and having to postpone our wedding more than once.
