Welcome to Arie T. Photography, a black queer woman-owned and operated traveling portrait and wedding photography service based out of the Georgia and Michigan! I've had the honor of capturing all walks of life across the USA with hopes of taking it worldwide. I'm known for my use of natural light, and "unposed” stress-free approach when it comes to my clients.

One of the best wedding decisions we made was booking Arie's photography services. Arie's energy, professionalism, and eye for detail are truly unmatched! Staying in constant communication with us from the day we booked, the regular check-ins were extremely helpful and reassuring in the chaos of wedding planning. By the time we met in person it felt like we had known Arie for years. On our wedding day she brought a calm and upbeat energy which made her a joy to have in the bridal and groom suites while we prepped for the ceremony. During our very lively reception Arie seemed to be everywhere at once, capturing every detail we asked for and so many more. The way Arie seamlessly moved throughout the events prompted our guests to ask if she worked for the venue! She came extremely prepared, was extremely professional, and it showed. Arie is truly an artist who not only took and produced beautiful photos, but managed to capture our vibe. We are so grateful to have found Arie and will DEFINITELY be booking services for our future events!

Intimate wedding photographer originally from the coast of VA, but now based in the North Georgia Mountains & love finding new adventures while exploring the outdoors. When I am not hidden behind my camera, you can find me hiking up a new mountain with my fur babies, eating tacos, or spending quality time with my little family. I started out capturing families, then realized that my heart is completely drawn to love & the bond that two people share. I describe my photography as bold, intimate & sincere. I enjoy capturing the small, yet sometimes unseen gestures & reactions as well as the pure romance between two people on their wedding day.

Hi! I'm Sarah. Congratulations on taking the next step in your wedding planning! Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

Awarded Best of Zola
There is not enough good things we can say about Sarah! From day 1, she had great communication before the proposal while deciding the perfect location and how we would meet up with her. She executed flawlessly and I never saw her until the ring was on my finger even though she followed us for a bit before the big moment. She made us feel so comfortable for the photoshoot after and was willing to go to a few different spots with us all while carrying all of our stuff so it wouldn’t be in our pockets for the pictures. We received the sneak peeks the next day and were blown away with how well they turned out, she nailed it!! She got the big “I do” moment which was most important and then captured so many other sweet moments right before and after that I will forever be so grateful we can relive because of her photos. The best thing about her is that you can feel the joy coming out of the screen when you look through her galleries. So many people have raved over how well our engagement photos turned out. Everyone should book Sarah, she is so great at what she does!!

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots. My favorite things are dinosaurs, exploring new cities, board games, soccer, National Parks, and whiskey. I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my partner, two dogs, and four cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I turn 9 this year 🥳!

Awarded Best of Zola
We discovered Leah on Zola, and right from our first conversation, we knew she was the one. Her experience and artistic eye were exactly what we wanted to capture our dream wedding. Leah made the whole process stress-free with her clear communication and warm personality. On the big day, Leah walked into a whirlwind of activity, but she calmly focused and started capturing the magic. She helped me stay relaxed and assured me everything would be perfect – I'll never forget that. Leah's photos are simply breathtaking. She's a true artist who captured every detail just as I imagined. She made sure we had time for portraits, but also caught those spontaneous, joyful moments that made our day so special. We are beyond thrilled with the photos Leah delivered. The cherry on top was seeing how excited Leah was at the wedding – she even quickly edited a photo on the spot! It showed she was genuinely invested in our happiness. Can't wait to work with Leah again for our future big life-moments!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

I have worked with Diana a lot in the past 2 years, and she is so great at what she does! I love getting to do videography by her side! She cares so much about her couples and you can just tell from the moment you get to meet her!

Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

Awarded Best of Zola
We LOVED her! She did an amazing job at working with us through all the unknowns of getting married during COVID and being so flexible and understanding, and even giving tips and recommendations on how to navigate through changes in plans due to the virus. Her aesthetic is just a dream and all our photos had just the right vibe. Her personality is easy going and funny, and made us feel comfortable taking photos because we are NOT by any means social media models ok! Her pricing is by far fair for the quality of work and professionalism received. I would have her do all of my family photos moving forward for all of eternity if she didn't move from San Diego. If you get the opportunity to work with her, DO. IT.

  • Serves New Athens, IL for additional fees

As a Memphis, TN Wedding photographer, I have been calling the Grind City my home for the past 10 years. I love the city, the lifestyle, and even the incredibly stupid traffic (although that won't keep the road rage down). I came here for my BFA in Photography and stayed for the Grind City life. My work focuses on the actions we take to show our care and love for each other. I cherish all types of human connection, and believe that our most precious memories deserve to be preserved in a way that is personable and true to us.

Awarded Best of Zola
Michelle is absolutely amazing to work with. She whipped our family right into shape and we were able to get all the photos we wanted (and some more!) ahead of schedule. She was constantly moving the whole wedding, no second was wasted and I am absolutely ecstatic to see the photos and relive our day! If you had been looking for an amazing photographer, you can stop looking now. You found her.

  • Serves New Athens, IL for additional fees

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Steph was amazing! I got to witness her dodge, stop, and, at times, direct traffic to capture the most epic shots on our wedding day (it was very slow-moving and not life-endangering but it truly meant a lot to me that she cared that much). Our #1 priority was that our wedding day didn't feel like a collection of photo shoots and she delivered 100%. We, of course, had specific family and couple portraits that we wanted to capture and she was an awesome, collaborative partner to figure out the best flow for all of that. Once the ceremony/reception started, Steph and her co-photog, Lou, just went with the flow. They captured the emotion and sentiment of the sweeter parts of the day and our reception pics are an absolute VIBE! We're featured in a lot of the reception photos, naturally, and for many of the photos I can't recall seeing a photographer or having that posed candid feeling. From the moment we had our first meeting with Steph, I knew she would be the one. We got along with her really well which was something that was important to us. She's very laid back and cool which was helpful to balance how chaotic wedding planning feels. She is also very clearly a professional which was another super important thing to us. She knew how to prompt us if we weren't asking enough or the right questions, she knew how to put words to our ideal photo vision when all we could do was provide vague descriptor words, and she knew how to direct/pose us when we didn't know what to do with our awkward bodies. Steph and her team are awesome - I cannot recommend enough!

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

From the moment we first spoke with Danielle (at Moon Rising Photography), we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer for our special day. Her communication style was both thoughtful and highly professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. She kept us on track the whole day, working quickly and efficiently while also keeping everything feeling natural and easy. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with an artistic approach that captured a soft and romantic essence in the most beautiful way. We are overjoyed with the stunning photos that will allow us to cherish the memories of our wedding for a lifetime. Danielle exceeded our expectations in every way, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

Emma is literally the kindest soul you’ll ever meet and my pictures came out so well! I’m plus size girls, so I felt very nervous about getting my pictures taken. She made me feel so confident and so loved in such a small amount of time. The photos are breathtaking and she is willing to do anything to get the perfect shot! You need her if you want the best photos!!

You'll probably find me at your local thrift shop with my iced coffee in the dead of winter listening to gospel or rnb music in my ear while shopping for records and broken cameras. When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and crime documentaries.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about Justina—she helped our wedding day run seamlessly! From the start, she was incredibly helpful and communicative, working closely with us to construct the perfect wedding day timeline. She even provided a detailed wedding guidebook and questionnaire, which helped us envision the exact vibe we wanted. On the big day, when we inevitably fell behind schedule, Justina handled it with such grace and adapted quickly. She adjusted effortlessly, stayed flexible, and kept everything moving. Even with less time for photos, she still managed to capture all the shots we had requested. Justina’s collaboration with her brother Anthony, who did our videography, was another highlight. Instead of coordinating between two separate vendors, we were able to meet with both of them together, ensuring that our wedding day vibe was beautifully reflected in both the photos and video. They both were extremely professional and helpful, in addition to providing creative ideas that helped bring our vision to life. What truly sets Justina apart is her talent and eye for candid shots that look and feel so natural. You can tell she cares deeply about the quality of her work. She got us a preview album within a week of the wedding, and my husband and I were so moved by the photos. We still cannot stop looking through them! If you want someone who will make your wedding photo dreams come true and help you feel comfortable and taken care of on our wedding day, look no further than Justina. We couldn’t be happier with our choice!

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Looking forward to having her capture many more of our milestones in the future :)

If you love a unique, unforgettable experience, then you've come to the right place! I specialize in photographing adventurous love stories in the most intimate and genuine ways. My bucket list is constantly growing and travel is a huge part of who I am and what I stand for. Whether you choose to elope, have a more traditional wedding day, or even just a romantic couples session, I make it my goal to concentrate on your unique story and really show that love through your images.

Dylan exceeded our expectations from the second we booked him! Communication was so easy, I texted him a lot with random questions and he was always able to answer them and respond quickly. He took every crazy idea I had for photos and ran with them. He was willing to drive out to Kansas City for our engagement shoot which was a huge plus for us! Him and Becca did so much on our wedding night, I could never thank them enough. If I had a million more weddings, I'd book Dylan every time.

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

McKenna and her team were absolutely amazing. I was the bride who did not want to stand around and take a million photos. When I tell you that they got in, got the job done and got us to the party, It was wham bam thank you ma’am and we got some AMAZING shots. These photos are pure artistry, I can’t believe it’s me in them. They are nothing less than spectacular and she didn’t miss a beat from the entire day.
