Vega Foster Photography 

5.0

Opelika, AL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

As a photographer, my goal is to express your individuality through a collection of photos. We start by taking the time to connect over lunch or a cup of coffee. I'll ask the important questions to learn more about you and your story - This allows me to tailor our time together to best reflect you. This platform of connection allows us to be communicative during the wedding day, while encouraging your natural personality to shine once you're in front of the camera. This friendly approach leads to a wholesome gallery filled with artful composition and playful candids.

Vega Foster Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Vega's communication was fast, friendly and clear - she was a true professional who made it clear what to expect and customized it for what I was looking for. The quality of her work is exceptional, with a creative and high-attention-to-detail approach that really captured the beauty and emotion of our special day. She paid careful attention to every detail, making sure I looked and felt my best while still allowing me to fully enjoy the moment :) The final photos are absolutely gorgeous - she has a true gift for capturing the magic of a wedding day. Vega is a genuinely kind woman who clearly cares about her clients. I highly recommend hiring her for your wedding, she will make you laugh, feel the moment, look beautiful, and address any concerns you may have. Vega understands the assignment!

  • Photojournalistic style

Hi there! We are Cody and Haley, your friendly neighborhood wedding photographers and 10 years ago we weren't wedding photographers. We were in your shoes, planning our wedding. Our day was crazy, and it flew by so fast that we didn't get to enjoy the day. Our biggest regret was in our photography. We didn't realize what these moments would mean to us 10 years later. Moments were missed, we looked awkward, and we had no idea what we wanted out of our pictures. We became wedding photographers to help keep you from going through the same mistakes that we made. Our job as photographers is to take the stress off of your shoulders.

I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

Based in ATL, Im a full time wedding photographer. Im always down for an adventure. When I'm not behind a camera, you can find me on zooming off on a hike with my husband or chatting someone's ear off about my latest podcast obsession. I am here for all the coffee, hugs, & candids. ohh and my Cat hehe

Awarded Best of Zola
I chose Hailey from the moment we had our initial call to talk through her services. She listened so well to our wedding vision & asked thoughtful questions. We were forgoing a wedding coordinator & other “extras.” Hailey was still excited to take us on as clients which some photographers would not have. I was ready to confirm during the call with how supportive and excited she sounded about our day. From this call, she sent over her proposal for cost & information very quickly. She was responsive via text & email to any questions we had. Closer to the date, she sent over a questionnaire so she could be prepared with the photos we wanted. It also included tips & guidance on making sure the experience is smooth. This was super helpful. During the wedding, I was blown away by her and her second shooter. She was decisive when we needed someone to make a decision, supportive to me as a bride, went above and beyond to handle any last minute changes or hiccups with grace. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken. She made it sooo easy and fun! The photos are sooo creative and I continue to pinch myself that they are ours! Wow! Here’s where she deserves to be shouted from the rooftops: We scheduled a hike we wanted photographed to a waterfall on site at the venue (our venue at Hawkesdene in NC lodges all guests for 2 nights). The venue shared it was 1 mile in/out and not difficult. Well it HAILED the night before and rained all night so the path was flooded and muddy. We had to decide to forge ahead or cancel. She without hesitation was ready to forge ahead, ruining her shoes, to ensure we could still have our hike documented with our guests. She encouraged me along the way and I am so grateful because the photos are just incredible. Anyone would be truly lucky to have Hailey capture their wedding. This review doesn’t do her or her skills justice. I will forever cheer her on & can’t wait to find an opportunity to work with her again in the future.

**Please inquire through my website. I do not respond to messages on Zola.** Hey there! My name's Nick, I'm a wedding photographer and videographer from NW Georgia. My goal is to provide an authentic story of your wedding while providing a comfortable and fun experience! Whether you're having an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I'm here to listen, understand your vision, and bring it to life.

One of my best friends is also a part-time wedding photographer, and she often works with Nick. She photographed my brother's wedding with Nick as her second shooter, and all the photos turned out amazing. When I asked her who I should pick for my wedding photographer (since she was my maid of honor), she immediately recommended Nick and put us in contact. He was very professional during every interaction and always responded promptly. We opted for the package that had a second shooter, included an engagement shoot, and was for a 10-hour day. The quality of his photos for the price is unmatched. It was by far the best investment of the wedding. We did the engagement shoot about a month before the wedding, and he let us pick the locations. The pictures were also returned within the same week. It is well worth doing the engagement shoot because it gives you the opportunity to figure out how each other works, and it made our wedding day that much more relaxing and wonderful. He and his second shooter arrived early on the wedding day and immediately went to work scoping out shooting locations and getting detail shots. He helped make sure we were on time during the morning and afternoon leading up to the ceremony without making me feel rushed at any time. His second shooter was the perfect complement to his personality, which helped all our pictures look stunning while our personalities and real smiles were shining through. We got sneak peek pictures the day after the wedding, and the rest of the portfolio was ready 6 weeks later, which was very fast for someone with a full-time job outside of photography. He kept us updated on when pictures would be ready, which was highly appreciated. When the portfolio was ready, he scheduled a Zoom call with us to show us how to work the website and give us an opportunity to ask any final questions before the site was published. It was a nice personal touch to closing out that chapter of the wedding. Everyone who has looked at the pictures have said how stunning and beautiful they turned out! We cannot wait to have our favorites printed and hanging on our walls to look at for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend Nick!

My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Amanda’s work speaks for itself. Her photography isn’t just a snapshot in time - she creates true art. She’s also super calm and easy going (a major plus on what can be a hectic day). From her portrait and group shots, to shots during the wedding, to still life shots of the cake, rings, or outfits, to journalistic style shots of the reception, she captures it all with a beautiful eye. What I love most is that her style is unique, with such stunning use of light and shadow. Her photography was easily the best thing we spent money on for our wedding. I highly recommend Amanda Summerlin Photography.

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m here to make you feel comfortable & confident while capturing your unique love story. I focus on elopements and smaller weddings, but I love to shoot bigger weddings for the right couple. When I started Megan Steele Photography, all I knew was that I loved documenting love stories. Every couple I’ve worked with has taught me more about myself as an artist and has grown my passion and love for photography into a career. All love is welcome here. Based in Alabama and ready to travel!

Megan is an absolute joy to work with! She is professional, hardworking, and puts you at ease in front of the camera. She has a great eye and communicates clearly and often. She makes things feel easy and natural and captured some beautiful moments for us that we’ll treasure for a long time!
