Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Lacie captured moments that took my breath away. Her style and skill is every bride’s dream. She delivers everything you adore from those Pinterest and Instagram wedding photos. So there is no question she can deliver what she is looking for. And we are beyond thrilled with all of our photos. The sneak peeks are also so much fun (she sends a batch of photos shortly after she shoots you). But where Lacie shines and what I have to tell you about is everything else. She truly went above and beyond. She’s not just a photographer, she’ll be one of your favorite people on your special day. Yes, Lacie is kind and friendly and comforting and just the kind of person you need on your wedding day (and who you wished you roomed with in college). But she is so much more. Here are just some of the few meaningful things Lacie did that I noticed that I’ll forever carry with me. Firstly, I had a very important rosary I wanted to photograph, and with the chaos, I had forgotten. It would have broken my heart if I left it behind. Lacie remembered. I got fixated on an insignificant hiccup on my wedding day that could have ruined my day. Lacie redirected my attention to the things that really mattered and brightened up my mood immediately. Leading up to the wedding, Lacie advocated for me and my husband ensuring us she was fully dedicated to only us on the day, literally saying “You and Sean are my priority.” Nobody and nothing would take her attention away from us. She was always quick to respond to texts, I could go to her for quick wedding advice, and she’s genuinely so passionate about her craft. Lacie could really be a wedding planner with how much she knows. Other vendors loved working with her, especially our videographers. She was so quick, efficient, and took initiative. She gave them space and skillfully took turns capturing moments with them. With a big wedding party and spacious venue, we kept losing track of people for pictures, Lacie corralled them masterfully. She’s not afraid to get people to focus and get the photos done, but also in the most polite and respectful way. I watched videos of brides saying I wish this or that moment was captured. Sometimes I’d forget whether I had those moments captured myself. Then I go to Lacie’s photos and every single thing that brides mentioned got missed by their photographer she captured for me. Her vibe! She’s so positive and cheery. I was so nervous and also worried about how dark my church was. She got me excited about it after turning it into a positive saying it would look like the theater and she could absolutely work with it. I texted her a shoot list the night before our wedding. She carried that around and took it so seriously making sure she captured everything I listed. I made a Pinterest board of photos I liked and she remembered ones I forgot I included in there. She was my favorite vendor (tied with my incredible florist @dazyflorals) and the vendor I had no worries about it. I didn’t have to check in with her. I could trust her with my eyes closed. She’d be where she needed to be on time, professional, and prepared. I’m going to miss her. Sign her and soak up her sunshine for me, will ya?

Ashley Cynthia Photography provided excellent service for our wedding photography needs. Ashley's communication throughout the planning process was fast, caring and thoughtful - she truly wanted to understand our vision and preferences. On the big day, Ashley traveled from Arizona to capture our Colorado wedding. She helped immensely with organizing the timeline and coordinating with other vendors. Most importantly, the quality of Ashley's work is simply stunning. Her photographic style resulted in elegant, unique and professional photos that we will treasure forever. She perfectly captured the joy and love of our special day. We couldn't recommend Ashley highly enough for wedding photography services.

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 12 years. I'm consistent not in a trend of photos or style, but emotions. Each wedding and couples are so unique and my work follows that. In my career I've photographed both big production weddings and also intimate DIY ones. I've photographed informal engagements and elopements/weddings in a desert in Chile, in the mountains of Zion, in a beach in Croatia, in an ancient church in Greece and in forests in Brazil. I work with all different budgets and needs from my brides. I'm a preferred vendor of Chicago First Lady Boat, so I do weddings on the boat during the summer.

From start to finish, Jana made our wedding day in Chicago feel so special and unique. My partner and I spent 3 hours with Jana, who so graciously accommodated our numerous photo locations across Chicago in such a beautiful way! We felt very taken care of by Jana and her team and cannot recommend her enough. Not only does she listen to her couples, she also provides confidence and mastery which makes you feel like getting your photos taken should be part of your everyday life. Thank you Jana - we will hold on to these photos dearly forever! Maria and De'Sean

I am a luxury destination photographer based in MICHIGAN, COLORADO & FLORIDA! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing, Holland & Traverse City. I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Dani (Elle & Co Photography) has an art of being professional while also being laid back and understanding. We had a lot of things pop up on our wedding day and Dani knew how to take charge and keep things going but she has a safe energy and made everyone in our group feel super comfortable. She was a great addition to our day! Not to mentioned was very accommodating to what we’ve wanted and our photos are actually pieces of ART. I cannot believe how amazing our photos turned out. I had a dream of having head turning wedding photos but I wasn’t confident I was capable of having them because I don’t know to pose or act in front of the camera and Dani made it happen for us. We are so happy with our photos and will be bugging Dani for years to come to continue to capture us.

Lover of all things photography. I have been a photographer for over 10 years and love what we do. I have an amazing team that helps me out. My husband also second shoots with me. I like to say you get two professionals for the price of one. I try to offer quality at a reasonable cost. I know photography can be daunting for some people and my goal is always to put people at ease.

Best decision we could have made. Communication was wonderful from the start and the photos are amazing. I felt Hdi has a gift of photography and what will look great. From the little details they were on it. She made me feel like family. Mostly, her images are what we have left of our day and I’m so glad we went with Timeless Imagery. Don’t cut your hours short - so you don’t feel rushed. Best advice I could give.

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always so happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry or 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 did a fantastic job of even 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.

I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024.

We were especially impressed by her ability to capture candid moments, turning fleeting seconds into cherished memories that we will treasure forever. Her attention to detail and genuine passion for their craft are evident in every shot. Whether it was a quiet, intimate exchange or a lively dance floor scene, she managed to capture every moment. In addition to how talented she is, she brought a sense of calm and joy to the day. Her friendly demeanor and approach made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and compassionate photographer to be a part of our celebration. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only deliver stunning, romantic images but also add a touch of warmth and personal connection to your wedding day, we wholeheartedly recommend Kiersten. She is truly one of the sweetest souls.

This is such an exciting time for you. Planning your dream wedding is something every little girl dreams of! You deserve the best photographic experience and gorgeous images on your wedding day. Out of everything you have to plan and organize, your images that you have from your wedding day shouldn't be something you have to worry about. You deserve a photographer that cherishes you and your husband-to-be the way that you will cherish your own memories of your wedding day.

I own Havisham House wedding venue in Alto Pass, IL. Boulder Creek Photography shot a wedding at our venue for one of our couples, Matt & Miranda. I was so impressed with the quality of the photos. The boldness of colors, the clarity, the thought behind the poses, etc., was absolutely amazing. I use these photos quite often when promoting Havisham House at bridal shows. I highly recommend this photographer. She was a superstar to work with. Thank you Courtney Page!

Hi loves, I'm Sarah! I'm a destination wedding photographer and mother of two... CATS! I'm a big dreamer, romantic and creator, so you can only imagine how much I love what I do and sharing my passion with the couples I meet. I'm all about documenting authentic moments and getting to learn your love story. Because of how much I travel, I personally only take on a number of weddings per year as I'm very intentional with the work I do! If I'm not personally available, I have a team and they're amazing! So, if you love my style and don't mind working with my team the day of your wedding, the option is always there for you.

Sarah was a such a pleasure to work with! She's easy going and flowed well with our video team on the bride and groom's wedding day. Her photos are full of life and speak in authenticity in documented and candid moments. We would love to work with her again!

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm going to break this down as simply as possible...... Melissa is a dream come true. She is everything you could ask for in a photographer and SO MUCH MORE. She's professional, kind,an excellent communicator, and has the best creative eye. But that's not all that makes Melissa great; she has the ability to make you feel comfortable. My husband is a shy, introverted kind of dude - the kind who'd rather do household chores than pose in front of a camera and smile - and Melissa has this nature about her that made him feel relaxed and at ease to catch our best moments. All of that is just touching a little bit on the SKILL Melissa has. Besides her exceptional talent, she is a joy to be around, Melissa brightens a room! You can't help but feel like your best self around her... it makes for some really wonderful digital lifetime memories. Can't say enough about what a treasure Melissa is. 10 out of 5 stars, easy.

Hi! My name is Lydia and I'm a Nashville Wedding Photographer. While I'm based in Tennessee, I'm more than willing to travel well beyond that. My photography style is light, bright and true to life. My goal is to make you feel at ease in front of the camera and provide photos that you can cherish for the many years to come. We will always take traditional posed photos, but you can expect to receive lots of candid moments in your final gallery. Feel free to reach out and let me know more about you and your vision for your wedding day.

Lydia and her assistant Lanie photographed our wedding at my grandparent’s house. They were both prompt, friendly, professional, and they took the most BEAUTIFUL photos!! All of our guests enjoyed interacting with them, and I am seriously going to have a hard time narrowing down my top favorites because the photos are just fantastic. Lydia even delivered our gallery ahead of schedule! I highly recommend her :)

As an experienced wedding photographer who has photographed over 150 weddings in ten states, I've come to love joyful, adventurous couples who adore their friends and family. My couples tend to care most about genuine emotion and tender moments of the day and having timeless, classic, happy photos that will stand the test of time. They can't wait to have a stunning album full of the story of their wedding day to look at for years to come and share with generations. They see the wedding as the start of a beautiful marriage and care more about their marriage than making their wedding a production.

She was professional but fun – and completely unobtrusive, yet she was right there for every important moment and seemed to capture everything!

They helped us when engagement couple photos, so we can have those before the wedding and then we booked them for the day of the wedding as well. The photos were so good!!! The quality is just top notch...very professional looking and we were extremely happy with how they came out. The last thing I’ll say is, on the day of, sometimes we can get lost in the day.
