Far Out Feeling 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Mountain Center, CA for additional fees

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We had a terrific experience working with Meaghan and Brendon of “Far Out Feeling.” If you’ve made it this far, you already love their style – their ability to capture both candid and staged photos artfully – and we are happy to report that the photographers have personalities to match. We loved meeting them for drinks months in advance of our wedding, which gave us a nice context for one another when the day finally came (we cannot imagine, now, not knowing our wedding photographers when they arrived to take pictures of us!) We perhaps didn’t consider how crucial this feeling of comfort was, but when you think about, you do spend a tremendous portion of your wedding day with your photographers. Meaghan and Brendon felt like friends, which made even the parts of the wedding that we don’t like (posing!) feel easy, natural, and fun. Meaghan and Brendon were incredibly responsive, from first to last. They always got back to us the day we had a question, and even weeks after our wedding, they were responding to our technical difficulties within minutes. And the photos themselves turned out great! Again, you’ve probably seen evidence of this already. We cannot wait to print them, frame them, and, in all likelihood, post them relentlessly to our Instagram stories. A huge thank you to Meaghan and Brendon, who we recommend whole-heartedly.

Hello! My name is Emily and I have been a photographer since 2015. I have found my passion in photography through all the little moments of your big day.

Emily was a sweetheart and did an outstanding job with my small wedding. She was detailed and thorough with her ideas. She also arrived early to the venue and gave us a heads up of how wet the grounds were. For context, it rained that morning and we were outdoors. Emily is someone I highly recommend to any brides/grooms looking for an affordable yet outstanding photographer.

Erica Wall Photography

  • Serves Mountain Center, CA for additional fees

Hey friend, I’m Erica! I am a documentary style destination wedding photographer, based in Seattle! My passion is capturing, true love through my lens. I’ve been professionally photographing weddings for over seven years, and I even grew up in the industry! My mom is a wedding coordinator, and growing up, I fell in love with all things weddings!

We loved working with Erica from our engagement photos to our wedding! She captured our small, mountain elopement in such a magical way. When we look back at the photos, we remember how we felt in that moment because of how well she captured the environment and the details. This is especially impressive considering we got married at sunrise, outside, in the fog/rain on top of a mountain. Our day was very simple and yet it looks almost cinematic in our photos. She has a creative eye for what she does, but is still open to making any ideas you may have come to life. We very much appreciated her knowledge of how to pose us and our guests in photos, as well as her grounded and down-to-earth personality. A wedding photographer is one of the most important purchases you’ll make in your lifetime and I truly believe Erica is well worth the investment! We now have our love story captured in such a beautiful way that we will get to look back on for a lifetime. Thanks Erica!

There are many reasons couples choose not to have a “traditional” wedding, and the beauty is that you can make it anything you want it to be – and that’s also why I care so deeply about making sure every couple I work with knows that their day is important, beautiful, and deserves to be captured so you can look back on every detail. Hi! My name is Anna– I am an elopement and wedding photographer helping adventurous couples say “I do” on their own terms from coast to coast.

Anna is so sweet, caring, and a great communicator. As a wedding planner, it was great to work with her and she captured the beauty of the venue so well. The portraits and couple photos are stunning. Would definitely recommend her!

Michael was so easy to work with and very accommodating during the wedding day. He provided us with amazing photos that we will cherish forever. One of the most important things for me during the wedding day was timing and he was super efficient when taking photos. I would recommend him to everyone for all their photography needs because he was the best to work with and provided us with the best photos!

Celebrating love is the best high for me, and getting to do this job where I not only see love, but see the connection, those free-spirit giggling moments, and those ugly real moments… that is what truly keeps my world spinning. My art is all about honey-kissed warmth and sweet fire-burnin’ connections. It’s about capturing and sharing those intimate moments that feel like movie moments, real love in raw form.

We just did an engagement shoot with Caroline and we love our photos!!! They are so amazing, I added one of my faves. It’s so clear in our results how amazing and creative she is at her job. It’s funny bc in the moment it can feel so awkward and unflattering and then I see the results and i’m amazed at how great they are and how beautiful I feel in each one. Caroline has been nothing short of fantastic to work with she makes it so easy. I am certain she was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer and I am beyond excited!

Hello! My name is Brenda and I've resided in SoCal all of my life. Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

We hired Brenda for a small ceremony we had. She was great, she was sweet and I felt comfortable with her which is how I wanted to feel in our photos. She was patient and made the process of taking photos easy. I was amazed when she sent a few example photos the next day..they were all beautiful. I’m so excited to see the rest. Thankfully Brenda knew how to use zoom which was a huge help for us, she was quick to offer help and I appreciated that greatly. I know for sure if we ever need a photographer for anything else we would definitely use Brenda again.

I specialize in documenting weddings! I believe in images that are timeless, true to color, with a touch of moodiness and emotion. Photography is one of the biggest and most important investments you’ll make for your wedding day. Wedding photography isn’t just a financial investment. You’re also investing in a photographer who values and builds that relationship from the start, from planning a custom timeline with you, to going over all the details every step of the way leading up to the wedding day. I want my couples to be as involved in the creative process as I am. It’s all about the experience!

Chamblee and her husband did such an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos! We ended up needing our engagement pictures back pretty fast... and Chamblee made sure to get them to us in the time we needed and we were so appreciative of that! Chamblee also made us feel super comfortable and relaxed during our shoots. She is such a cute person and takes the most beautiful pictures!! We totally recommend her for any of your photography needs!

Julia is such a gem to work with. When we first did our engagement photos my fiance at the time and I were kind of uncomfortable going into it and instantly Julia made us feel so confortable. We knew we wanted her to do our wedding photos and WOW she delivered! Beautiful photos and wonderful person to be around. I think our whole wedding party mentioned to us after the wedding how great she was and some of our friends at the wedding ended up booking her for their wedding! Can't recommend enough!

I'm Sydney and I own Sydney Marie Photography out of Grand Haven, Michigan. I I've been a wedding photographer since 2012 and have photographed over 200 weddings from Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Holland and everywhere between. I started in photography in 2008 and travel all over Michigan for weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked alongside Sydney multiple times at weddings around Michigan and have seen a lot of her process. I can tell you she is big on quick communication and making sure every expectation is clearly defined and communicated prior to the wedding. This is key when you're trying to plan your wedding day and make sure that everything is laid out to be not only efficient but also get you the kinds of photos she's displaying on her website. On the day of the wedding she is always calm, yet at the same time, directive, in a chill and friendly kind of way. She helps everyone relax and enjoy the day, which is a big thing considering the photographer is the person that the wedding couple is going to be around for the vast majority of the day. I know that even though she is a busy photographer, she delivers galleries pretty quickly, because she's showing me some of the galleries that I've shot with her as soon as she's finished with them. So if you're looking for someone who is going to solidly communicate with you through the whole process and then deliver your (quality) photos in a reasonable amount of time, she would be a good choice!

Your hubby-wife photography team from Salt Lake City, Utah, capturing love stories worldwide. Why are we so obsessed with capturing your moments of love and life?

I met Haley and Camden through a friend who had also booked them for their wedding. We booked them for both engagement photos and wedding photos and we could not be more happy with their services. Having a married couple team as photographers was everything, as they made us feel super comfortable and they were able to direct us throughout the sessions in a way that I think a solo photographer would not be able to do. They went above and beyond and I’m so happy we chose them!

Welcome to JFP, where passion meets precision. As a dedicated photographer by heart and an aerospace engineer by profession, I bring a unique perspective to capturing your most cherished moments. My goal is to create a seamless, luxurious experience for every couple, ensuring your wedding day flows effortlessly. I understand that your wedding is one of the most significant days of your life, and I’m committed to making it memorable. With an eye for detail and a knack for storytelling, I specialize in delivering a blend of documentary style images and classic portraits that reflect your unique love story.

Jenn was absolutely incredible to work with. I felt SO lucky when I came across her work on social media - which was genuinely more beautiful than photographers charging 2x or more. I probably inquired with 10 photographers beforehand, but the moment I found Jenn, knew we'd choose her for her beautiful work. We loved our engagement photos, and she gave us (stunning) sneak peek wedding photos the day after our wedding! From her "detail" shots, teaching us how to pose (thanks!), scoping out the best spots for beautiful shots, creating a wedding day photography timeline for us - she was so professional, creative, and easy to communicate with. Also as a side note, she is an engineer and I don't know how she is blessed in equal measure with both left-brain precision and right-brain creativity. She also has some very cool options, like Super8 film, polaroids, etc. that we opted to add on - her work is timeless and beautiful and I can't recommend her highly enough. Jenn - thank you so much for capturing these moments for us to look back on!

We're a dynamic team of two who are passionate about capturing every magical moment of your special day. We strive to create timeless images and films that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime. But it's not just about the shots we take- it's also about the connections we make. We believe that the best memories are made when you're having fun, and that's why we're committed to capturing genuine moments!

Booking New Era Photography was the easiest and best decision my husband and I made for our elopement. Elsie is ("is" -present tense, because she still is even after providing outstanding service) extremely easy to reach and talk to. She had asked us to create a pinterest board when we booked her and months later, on our elopement day, she is diligently referencing the board and ensuring we get the shots we wanted. To be honest, the adrenaline of the big day (and lack of a full meal) had my mind up in the clouds, so looking back I am SO grateful Elsie was on it. Additionally, she is just the kindest person ever! She made us feel so comfortable and confident in our "poses". She also got sneak peaks over to us even earlier than she had quoted; and there wasn't one I didn't like. Look no further - New Era Photography is what you need!

Hi! My name is Nikholas, I am a wedding and special event photographer based in Arizona. My photography journey started about 8 years ago when I got my first camera as a gift, slowly evolving from a hobby into a passion that I pursue every day. Throughout my journey, I've always felt most drawn to working with people and documenting their emotions. We all live very unique and special lives and being able to capture and share those moments that are so real, so full of pure feeling is...amazing. The best photos are felt, not seen.

Whenever I see photos that he took of me with my fiancé from over a year ago, I cannot help but relive those joyous moments in time. Somehow he encapsulates all the warmth and emotions in the pictures. 100% satisfied with Nicholas and plan to continue working with him in the future!

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Born and raised in Maine, I dream of one day retiring there by the sea, like a real life Miss Rumphius. But until then, I live just outside of Boston with my husband and our three cats. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, but we waited more than a decade before saying our own vows. Sometimes (okay, often) I eat cake for breakfast, so you can always count on me to help taste test yours. If I'm not photographing people in love, I'm probably enjoying a glass (bottle) of champagne on the couch or planning my next adventure. I believe everything is better by the ocean and you should never wait to explore the world.

We found Kendra on Instagram (yes, Instagram!) and instantly fell in love with her style. She is so personable and made us feel like ourselves in front of the camera, which included lots of giggles and following us around while we adventured for our engagement shoot. We picked Kendra as our wedding photographer for a lot of reasons, but initially because we loved her natural, bright and romantic aesthetic. As soon as we started working with Kendra, it was like we had been friends for a long time. She made us feel special and knew exactly what to say to capture our emotions and love for one another in the way that we expressed it, which sounds like a no brainer, but it can be challenging to feel "normal" when a new person is in front of you and taking your picture! In addition to being an incredible photographer, we turned to Kendra for her opinion and advice in some of our wedding decisions that we were having trouble making. Kendra gladly and professionally provided us with her input and even sent us some photos of examples of things we were considering that she had previously photographed so we had a visual. On the day of our wedding, from the moment Kendra arrived, she ran the show. I was so excited to see her and felt like she was a wedding guest that had arrived, but even though we developed an excellent rapport, Kendra meant business and was ready to do her job, so she got the ball really rolling. Shortly after her arrival, tension started to grow as we became closer and closer to the time of the ceremony and things didn't go exactly as we had planned them. Kendra had our backs and helped us to solve as many problems as we could, and make the best of the others that we had to move on from. This would be described under going "above and beyond the call of duty"! Kendra was there for us as our incredible photographer, but she wore many hats that contributed to the success of our wedding day. You should select Kendra as your wedding photographer if you want someone who is calm and personable, while delivering natural, bright and romantic photos. We are so grateful to Kendra for our beautiful photos and all of her help in making our day be a success!!

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

Grace was an absolute gem of a human on the day of my wedding and leading up to it. I can't get over how stunning the photos are just from the sneak peek gallery. She has such an eye for unique shots and is amazing at directing you as well as your overly-stimulated new husband. We coordinated a ton of surprise aspects and were able to pull them off with Grace's help. She also ended up fixing boutonnieres, ensuring my hair looked amazing before each shot, and worked so well with our videographer, planner and all other vendors. I can't wait to see the full gallery and can't recommend her enough!

We hired Carrie as our wedding photographer, and also have done an engagement photo session with her. We're both somewhat camera shy, and didn't know quite what to expect with a photo session, but we had a wonderful time with Carrie and enjoyed the whole experience immensely. She has been fast to respond and stay in touch, and we just got our engagement photos today. Among the comments we've already received are "wow, those are the most beautiful engagement photos I've ever seen!" What initially attracted us to Carrie was the excitement and enthusiasm she had from when we first met, and she's maintained that same attitude through every interaction we've had with her. We enjoyed working with Carrie for both our engagement session at a regional park as well as our wedding photos at an old church and rose garden. She took indoor and outdoor pictures well, and captured fun moments and interesting angles that highlighted the locations we chose well.

Coral was amazing to work with! We had the pleasure of getting to know her when we booked her last-minute to take some photos of my good friends' small backyard ceremony in 2018. When my husband and I later got engaged, we knew we had to book Coral to capture our own planned festivities for June 2020. When 2020 rolled around and it became apparent that we had to scrap most of our original plans, we couldn't have asked for a better partner than Coral. Her flexibility and encouragement during what was a crazy time for everyone kept us sane. We unfortunately nixed all of our other vendors with the changes we made, but kept Coral because we knew we wanted her there to capture whatever our day turned out to be. Coral captured beautiful photos of our two(!) wedding/reception dates and we are so glad to have those treasured photos. She's incredibly easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable, especially as my family and I don't get in front of the camera very often. We can't recommend Coral enough!

Whether it was a candid moment or a posed shot, Skyler knew exactly how to capture the essence of the moment. What I appreciated most about working with Skyler was her laid-back approach. Despite the importance of the occasion, Skyler's calm demeanor helped create a relaxed atmosphere, allowing everyone to feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera.

Welcome to "We Do Weddings," where love meets artistry, and moments are forever preserved. We're Jared and Quinn, not just business partners, but a couple who share a deep passion for capturing the most cherished memories of your special day. Our journey into the world of wedding photography and videography began as a shared dream—a dream that brought together our love for storytelling, our appreciation for timeless elegance, and our fascination with the candid, unscripted moments that make every love story unique.

We had our engagement photos taken by We Do Weddings and had a great experience. My wife and I weren't set on a good location, but Jared and Quinn had a couple of suggestions and Freestone Park turned out perfect. They also arrived early and had a couple spots in mind to shoot at, which I really appreciated since it was a warm day and that expedited the process. The shoot was casual and surprisingly fun. They worked quickly but we never felt rushed. They gave great direction (including some pictures of what they were looking for at times) which turned out great. We just got the photos back and my wife and I were blown away. They turned out beautifully and we are so happy with them. The entire experience was a joy and the end result was exactly what we were hoping for.

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Nadia and Gunnar! We met with them ahead of time at a local brewery and quickly learned that they would be a great fit. Their photography style is bold and beautiful, and the couple is very professional and easy to work with. It was so hard to narrow down our selection because there were soo many great shots! I can’t wait to work with them again some day! Highly recommend!

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

Tammy, there is not enough praise in this world for what you deserve for truly creating the most magical elopement day. From the moment we started talking, Tammy filled our imagination with ideas, plans and picture locations to help make our wedding special. She did not hesitate when we decided to elope in Acadia National Park and sent over research and location ideas of where to hold our ceremony. She was attentive to the details that were most important to us and really allowed us to create our perfect day. Not only did she help plan our elopement day but day of she arrived early and was able to help create the excitement and long lasting memories. With her creative eye, she found the most perfect spot for us to have our first look. With great skill, she professionally moved the wedding party along to be to stay true to the ceremony timeline and the National Park entrance time (which is a feat to coordinate 7 guests, a dog and a bus driver). With not having a wedding planner (or any guest focused on timeline) it was so helpful to have Tammy to take charge and gather the group. Lastly, but certainly not least, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We dont normally enjoy being the center of attention, she had us move naturally and cued us to be confident in front of the camera. With her upbeat personality and lots of laughs, the pictures captured our excitement and love while we eloped. She didn’t hesitate for a second when we asked for our dog to be in almost every picture us and was able to capture. She read my mind as taking pictures from different angles and of the landscape around us. Thank you Tammy for making our dream surprise elopement a reality! Not only was it the most perfect day, but now we have pictures that capture the emotions and celebration of our wedding!

Northern California wedding photographer inspired by real moments between people who love each other and dreamy lighting. There is nothing I love more than capturing emotion and details in all the magical moments. I want to deliver photos filled with emotion, fun, and laughter. I bring lots of love and energy with me to make you feel comfortable so you can have fun in front of the camera. I work to build a true friendship with you to create trust which aids in gorgeous photos.

Working with Natalie as our photographer for our wedding was like working with your best friend (I'm serious). She made us laugh the entire time, got just as excited as I did (if not more) over details for the flat lay, and was the perfect match for my husband's sarcasm. What more could you want in a photographer? What drew me, initially, to Natalie was her bright and light photos that captured candid moments beautifully. My husband and I have a very fun-loving personality and to find a photographer that captured every laugh was an instant-win. Natalie took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we could not be happier, as every photo was absolutely amazing and told a story throughout the engagement session and wedding. I will always look back on these photos with the biggest smile on my face, because they are simply beautiful. You can tell that she is painstakingly meticulous in curating the perfect gallery for you and that she loves her couples. If you're thinking of hiring Natalie for your wedding, do not hesitate. She was an absolute dream to work with and I hope we can work together in the future!
