As a vendor myself (videographer), Joy is a pleasure to work with. She’s great about coordinating with us to ensure that we get what we need while she gets the shots that she needs. She’s creative and has fun with her poses. She’s also a very calm photographer - and trust me, we’ve worked with some photographers who give off a stressed-out vibe the whole day. Whenever clients ask me for photography referrals, I always recommend Joy! You won’t be disappointed!

Taylor Dewey Photo 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Nevada City, CA

I am a lover of love and adventure. I am a pretty down person (I free dive with sharks so if that doesn't say something...) I moved to Hawaii in 4 hours notice and quit my corporate job to chase my dreams and here I am! I'm a bit of a minimalist like to think I'm pretty fun. I'm an ocean conservationist and use my skills to also educate people about human impacts and ways to make shifts in our own lives in order to help the planet. I am really big on quality over quantity. I would rather deliver a handful of WOW photos over a ton of average photos to fill a number.

If you want one-after-another STUNNING images that take you immediately back to the emotions felt on the happiest day of your life… every single time you look through your wedding album…. Hire Taylor Walston. Her energy is peaceful, she made our sloppily-planned adventure so much fun, and she’s truuuuuly down for anything during your session. My husband and I decided to elope on a whim in HI…. But before we made any plans, I made a deal with him. We’d do it, only if Taylor was available for our date. After our original wedding plan fell thru during C*VID, we wanted to do the dang thing in a beautiful place with absolutely no stress and no real “plans” aside from saying our vows somewhere stunning with our parents to withness. I had a dress… but no photographer. I followed Taylor’s work months before we ever decided to elope and knew it HADDD to be her. The movement and genuine emotion/energy in her photos was exactly what we wanted. When Jake and I decided to do this (bc Taylor said yes), we really had such low expectations for how everything was going to play out - esp as last minute and “thrown together” it all was. But when we met her in person, it was just 5000 times better than we could’ve ever dreamed/hoped for. She thrives on spontaneity which was perfectttt for us. She was such a breath of fresh air to work with and really connects with you both as a couple. She was the cherry on top of this day for us. Our whole group was talking about how easy she was to work with and how seamless the day was because of her. I’m beyond thankful Taylor was behind the lens on a day we’ll never forget. 12/10 experience. 6 stars. Absolutely recommend to any and everyone! Thank you for everything Taylor!!

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my page! My name is Richa and photography has been a lifelong passion of mine! My most favorite part about it is capturing the little moments that seem so small, but one day you look back and realize they were the big ones! I love happiness. I love laughter. But most of all, I love LOVE!! I feel so privileged to be able to capture YOUR love.

Richa and I worked together through wedding photography. She is an amazingly talented photographer and has an incredible eye for details and capturing emotion in her photos. She knew when to take charge and when to step back to blend into the day. She is very easy going, creative with her shots, and an amazing person to be around on a hectic wedding day.

Mariah R. Photography & Film 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Nevada City, CA

Light and bright, timeless photographs and videos for weddings and couples. ND, New England & CA based, available for travel. I describe myself as kind of Type A, kind of Type B. When it comes to photographing your wedding, I take a mixed approach of being a "fly on the wall" and guiding when appropriate. Lots of times my couples see their galleries and noticed things they had no clue even happened during the day. Candids and true documentary style photographs are what I strive to provide, as well as traditional photographs and poses.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Mariah more than 5 stars I would. She was absolutely amazing at my wedding and it could not have been a better day because of her. She caught so many details that I would have never seen nor caught with the craziness of being the bride on the big day. She made me feel comfortable and excited to take more pictures. She was open to any of the crazy ideas I had and handled everything with ease! I absolutely could not recommend more!

  • Serves Nevada City, CA

Hi! I’m Kristen a portrait & Wedding photographer based in the Bay Area. I am married to my favorite person since March 28, 2015. But we have been together for 15 years!! I love love to laugh and I love making people laugh, which is why I love photography so much! I love spontaneous trips to anywhere new and love any movie with Rachel McAdams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kristen is the best. From the start, when I first reached out to her about an engagement session and shooting for our wedding she was a pleasure to interact with and very responsive. I appreciated that she was upfront with her pricing and clear about what was included with each package. This was definitely not something I saw when reaching out with other photographers. We booked with her and had our engagement session with my now husbands two kids and our new dog, to say it was chaotic was an understatement but she was so nice and accommodating about it all. She made friends with my husband and made both of us feel very comfortable in a situation that isn’t so natural for us. Fast forward to our wedding, by this time we felt like we were friends with Kristen and her husband. They were an absolute delight! It’s 2 weeks after our wedding, we are in LOVE with our sneak peaks and we just had dinner with friends that were at the wedding and they had the best compliment for Kristen and her husband. They said they were amazing, the best photographers make you feel like they aren’t even there but still capture all of the important moments, and that is exactly what they did! The last thing I will mention is that I have had experiences with photographers that can be pretty intense and a little over the top which was something that never made me feel very comfortable. Kristen was the perfect balance between being approachable but also making sure we got all the shots that we needed. We will absolutely be working with her for all of our photography needs in the future!

Jamie English Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Nevada City, CA

Hi all! I'll be honest, I've never loved writing bios. I'd much rather start up an email or hop on the phone with you and get to know each other in a more personal way! But until then - my name is Jamie and I've been in love with photography most of my life now (over 20 years!) and in business photographing weddings, families, and non-profits for 7 years. I'm married to the sweetest man, spend my days playing with the cutest babe, and love to travel and spend time with family and friends any chance I get. Studying art inspires me, reading ignites my curiosity, and experiencing other cultures gives me life. I hope I can get to know you too!

We found Jamie by a sheer stroke of luck - referred through another wedding photographer whose prices were WAY (way way) beyond our budget. From our first communication it was apparent she’s such a genuine and loving person - in addition to being an incredible resource on all things wedding-planning related. We actually used Zola’s wedding registry based on her recommendation! At the last minute, we decided to scrap the wedding planning (deposits be darned) and elope instead. Rather than balking, Jamie jumped at the opportunity to shoot the elopement and even served as our witness! She spent all day with us and shot hundreds of beautiful, high quality photos which she delivered in just a few weeks time. Since then, we’ve had her shoot our engagement photos (after the elopement!), maternity photos and annual family photos. We even gifted our mom a photo session for her 50th birthday. Each experience with Jamie has been so special - she puts us right at ease and captures the intimate moments in between. We can not recommend her highly enough!

Wedding photography for unconventional people. At the core of my practice as a wedding photographer, I believe: - that if your wedding traditions are not authentic and meaningful to you, then you deserve the freedom to build new traditions. - that men, women, and people of all genders are beautiful and deserve to have that beauty celebrated. - that we are most beautiful when we love fully and without reserve. - that no wedding or elopement is too small to commemorate. - that photographs are the record of memory and of personal history. - that you deserve to remember this.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Kate to capture our civil ceremony at SF City Hall. We had our symbolic ceremony abroad a few more weeks out but wanted to sign the papers ahead of time first at home. She was very professional and so organized. Loved knowing I could rely on her guidance and expertise which was so needed given how much was going on around that time. Some of the photos took my breath away and she made both of us feel very at ease throughout the process. Highly recommend.

Hey there! I am Elizabeth, the owner & head photographer of Elizabeth Yanna Photography. I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

Working with Elizabeth is amazing. It’s no wonder why all of her couples love her! She’s so much fun to be around and in tough situations, can figure out a quick solution very calmly. Elizabeth is super creative and has a keen eye for detail. Just book with her, you won’t regret it!
