Hello! I’m Debby Ledet, and I love all things Jesus, Coffee, and F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I'm a full time photographer based in Texas but have traveled for weddings as well. On my off time I’m either reading a David Baldachi book, exploring a local trail or national park or doing some type of home project. I work hard to create a unique experience and capture images that both tell stories and capture the personality of the individuals I photograph.

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

Stephanie captured our day perfectly! Our love really shined through in every photograph. Stephanie was very fun to work with and she catered to all of our photography preferences and took all the shots we were hoping to get. It was clear she knew how to adapt to new settings, lighting, and the different personalities of our wedding party, family, and friends. Her time management was spot on and she guided us through the whole hour after the ceremony where you take most of your portraits - a time that feels super rushed and time is of the essence - but she helped us feel calm and be present. Overall, a very pleasant experience and we will treasure our wedding photographs for many years to come.

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

I know Dasha for many years and love working with her both on the weddings and on my personal inspirational projects (she’d shoot a number of my dresses over the years) Dasha is very easy going person, who’s always up for something new and creative.

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an amazing experience working with Alyssa Marie Photography for our wedding! Alyssa and her husband were an efficient, friendly, and reliable team who captured all the special moments from our big day. Their communication style made planning easy, and they worked seamlessly in the background on our wedding day to get fantastic shots without ever being intrusive. The quality of Alyssa's work is excellent - the photos are timeless, classic, and thorough in documenting our wedding from start to finish. We absolutely loved having Alyssa there and can't recommend her highly enough! Her photography style results in gorgeous, meaningful images that we will treasure forever. We're so grateful we chose Alyssa Marie Photography to document our special day.

Hii! I am Wendy! I love storytelling and my heart loves endlessly. No two stories are alike and we all have something to learn from each other. I have been on this journey as a wedding photographer for over a decade. I have been taken to so many places that I would have never been to if it weren't for my wonderful clients. I have shared the most beautiful, important and heartfelt moments with my couples, their friends and their families.

Wendy was an absolute dream to work with for our engagement/wedding! The thing I love the most is her communication skills. She was very attentive to any and all questions that we had. The day of our wedding she did a great job coming up with a timeline to accommodate all of our family photos and making the day run smoothly. On top of that, she was EARLY with her sneak peak turnaround time and we got tons of photos! To top it all off, we got our final wedding gallery in less than one month. Wendy captured our wedding day in the most beautiful way and we will remember our day forever. Do not hesitate to make Wendy a part of your wedding day, she was the absolute best to work with! Beautiful work and a beautiful soul!

Christopher Ginn Photography

  • Serves Modesto, CA for additional fees

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris made the entire process so easy for us. We are not big on posing for pictures, we both would much rather enjoy the moment and be with people we love and from the very beginning Chris was great at helping us to achieve this. We officially met Chris about a year out from our wedding at our engagement session and we had the best time and the pictures were incredible. He guided us through the next steps with the wedding and prepped us for everything. I am not much of a planner so this was so appreciated. Our wedding day went so so smoothly and the pictures just helped recapture the love and fun we felt that day. We couldn't be more grateful to him for catching all of these moments so we can feel the same way we did on our wedding day everytime we look at them.

The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture!

Due to the COVID travel restrictions, many family and friends couldn’t join us. These photos helped capture the special moments and tell the story for us in a much more vivid way!

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

My fiance and I had a great experience working with Caroline for our engagement photo mini session! I was amazed at how many moments she was able to capture in a short 20 minute session. The edited photos are beautiful- the romantic style is just perfect. We almost didn't do engagement photos, but I'm so glad that we had Caroline capture this exciting time. Plus her easygoing personality meant we had fun doing it!

Hi! I’m Gabriela, but you can call me Gaby! I’ve been a photographer and storyteller for more than seven years. It’s something I’ve always been passionate about… Creating Art. I know love, I know how deep it is and I can see the undeniable connection between two people. I’ve always believed we all should love WITHOUT FEAR. I want my photography to be a storytelling, natural, authentic, and timeless piece of art that reflects what’s truly there. To make love transcend the screen and make people feel it, because… Love has NO BOUNDARIES.

Finding the right wedding photographer was incredibly important to us. We needed someone whose style and art matched our vision. Thankfully we found Gabriela. As soon as we saw her work and explored her page we knew she was a perfect fit. With our wedding being a destination wedding, communication was no issue. She made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. On our wedding day Gaby was amazing!! She blended into the background capturing all the special moments without us even noticing. I'm so glad we were able to enjoy our day without having to think of photos we needed since Gaby was able to capture every smile, hugs and intimate moments. After the wedding Gaby was so quick with delivering sneak peek photos and even quicker with the finished gallery. Each picture brings us back to that day, and we can feel the emotions all over again. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabriela for your special day. Thank you so much for giving us such wonderful memories to last us forever.

We 100% recommend Shelby for any of your event or wedding needs (and everything in between). We hired Shelby to photograph our post-elopement family celebration/party, and while I was worried about finding a photographer who would be willing to work outside the box and be flexible for our needs, she put my fears absolutely to rest. She was warm, kind, professional, and clear in all of her communication, over email and in person. During our party, she was friendly and put our guests at ease. A day or two after the event she provided a photo highlight preview, so we got to see some photos almost immediately (so appreciated) — the final photos we received were absolutely beautiful and reflected her attention to detail and her ability to see and capture so many of those sweet candid moments you only get when all of your people are in one place. We will absolutely be contacting her again, next chance we get!

  • Serves Modesto, CA for additional fees

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Working with Harrison was probably the easiest part of our entire wedding. He built us a custom package for our less than normal wedding, and was super thorough in documenting our details. When we got the photos we loved how he and his second shooter were able to get lots of pictures of our family and friends, while taking some beautiful couple shots of the two of us as fresh newlyweds. You won't regret having him along for your special day!

We are absolutely obsessed with our wedding photos and videos! This team seriously brought their A-game and made our special day even more magical. From the start, they were super chill and easy to work with. On the big day, they were like ninjas, capturing every awesome moment without being in the way. They have such a knack for finding those perfect, candid shots that totally show the real us. Plus, the way they set up the posed photos. When we got our photos and the video, we couldn't stop smiling and laughing. They caught all the love, laughter, and even the crazy dance moves (hello, epic dance party!). The highlight reel was like a mini movie of the best day ever—we’ve already watched it a million times! The whole experience was just fun and stress-free, thanks to their good vibes and clear communication. They really listened to what we wanted and made sure we felt comfortable and relaxed.

I started my business during the pandemic because I wanted to do something I love. What better way to spend those extra pandemy bucks than on a ridiculous amount of cool camera gear. Who’s with me?! I’m also a cat dad, longboard surfer, hiker and big science fiction nerd.

Daniel was absolutely incredible! I had a very specific vision in mind and Daniel was there to answer my texts and calls beforehand and then bring that vision to life! He gave us helpful prompts that kept us moving and got excellent photos! He was able to work with us on a short time frame and deliver photos quickly as well. I would recommend using him for any of your needs!

If you're looking for experienced professionals, look no further than Sugar Rush. On my wedding day, Jena introduced herself with a big, giant hug and immediately made me feel so comfortable and excited for the big day ahead! I knew right away I was in great hands. Jena was funny, personable, experienced, patient and extremely flexible. Stephanie, our second photographer, was also a master at handling all of the wild goose chases we sent her on. From finding my future-husband's cabin without an address to figuring out how to capture a non-traditional venue, she took it all in stride and was always three steps ahead of us. Now, I cannot imagine having anyone else there for us on our wedding day. They were so helpful, hyping us up through each photo, and able to take any pivot we threw at them. I highly recommend this team and I wished I lived in the SLC-area so I could force them to be friends with me!!

Hey there! I’m Chris, and I’m stoked to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to help make your day everything you’ve dreamed of. I'll even bring some dog treats. You can count on me to keep things stress-free—no “photographer attitude” here. If the timeline gets off track, I’ll help get it back on schedule so you can enjoy your meal. Based in Boston, I love traveling for weddings, especially intimate gatherings of 100-150 guests. I’m a fan of venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Capturing vibrant, cinematic images is my passion, and I focus on true-to-life editing—no overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones!

Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!

We are all here for you. All your family, your friends and I (yes, me too!) are here to honor you on your wedding day! As excited as I am to get to the dancefloor with you guys, I know a lot of planning goes into making your day special. As your photographer, I’ve been to a few weddings and am just a call or text away from any insight you might want. I approach every wedding with the same mentality, how can I tell the story of today in the most real way possible? I’ve found the best way to do that is to just be me. I allow myself to be present and listen to the stories unfold throughout the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not enough words I can say about Gabe--he has been an absolute dream to work with! Literally anything that could've been thrown at him, he went with it, and executed beautifully!!! My wedding date changed THREE times because of COVID, and he was always willing and flexible to find the perfect date for him and all of my vendors. My wedding was also outside in Miami, FL in early April. Normally, our weather is pretty good and beautiful evenings are almost guaranteed. Instead, we had a storm unlike any other storm I have seen in YEARS (outside of hurricane season). There were TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS in our outdoor/indoor wedding, and Gabe somehow managed to get the most incredible photos EVER. We really emphasized just how much we wanted the pictures to be honest and candid, and the gallery he sent us is literally the essence of that. He truly captured all of the craziness, last-minute changes, fun, and love from our day. Gabe was so friendly, so easy to get to know, and we wouldn't have wanted any one else to be our photographer. So, what are you waiting for?! Book him for your next event!!! He'll be there, come rain or shine...and especially rain. :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Sam has been a videographer at a wedding that I photographed before. It's so hard sometimes to communicate and mesh well with other vendors while working a wedding where there are so many moving parts and a timeline to stick to. Sam made that part easy! We got on the same page quickly and helped each other with shots the others wanted to get. Never got into each other's way and the entire day, start to finish it ran smoothly. I wish all videographers worked this well with fellow vendors. Makes the couples experience even better!
