I can't recommend Aurel enough as a wedding photographer! From the moment we met, he was incredibly friendly, professional, and receptive to all our ideas. He has this amazing ability to blend into the background like a photography ninja while still capturing the most beautiful, candid moments.

Shutter & Sound 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Philadelphia, PA

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I'm a Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York Photographer from Scranton, Pa. I began my journey as a wedding musician, playing in countless bands in Pennsylvania. It wasn't until the birth of my son that I was thrust into the world of photography. As soon as I snapped my first photo of him, I found the beauty of photography. I quickly noticed the parallels between the music I create and the photos I was taking. The balance between light and dark, joy and sadness, bold and muted, energetic and relaxed intrigued me and drove me to this passion.

Awarded Best of Zola
Eric was amazing with his work, from the consult down to the photos! He was very informative about everything and helped us with extra things we needed! He was an absolute joy to be around and couldn't be more pleased with the photos and company he gave us on our special day! Thank you again! and if i could give more than 5 stars i definitely would!

Reflections Media Pennsylvania

Based in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia PA, Reflections Media Pennsylvania is a collective of photographers & videographers who capture weddings and events. They love creating images that are trendy while still standing the test of time. For each couple, these professionals aim to provide affordable services, high standards of customer care, and stunning photographs and videos to treasure for a lifetime. Our deposit is 20% down to book and the remaining balance can be broken down into 3-4 increments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Reflections Media Pennsylvania as our wedding photographer and were very happy with their services. They were great at communication - thoroughly documenting details over email and phone calls leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, they jumped right in to capture candid moments as they happened. For example, they photographed all of our guests arriving at the cocktail hour with us. The photos turned out beautifully, really capturing the spirit of our wedding at a fair price. My only minor critique would be that it was hard to pose for some of the more formal shots because the photographer didn't do a countdown before snapping the pic. And unfortunately due to the event timing, we were not able to take as much photos with the family/bridal party as we had wanted in our consultation. I would recommend couples to keep in mind specific shots during the wedding; the wedding day was extremely hectic for us but it would have been nice to have the photographer (us as well) remember our consultation on what shots we were important for us for them to photograph. But overall, I'd recommend Reflections Media to other couples looking to preserve memories of their special day.

I began my photo career in the commercial world. I photographed for many ad agencies, fashion clients and magazines. When I segued into the wedding world, I brought that style of fashion photography and lighting with me.

Awarded Best of Zola
John Barone Photography is a 10/10 highly recommend wedding photographer & truly exceptional person. I have been following his work ever since I lived in Philadelphia, PA and he has been my dream wedding photographer! Although I have since moved a few times and now reside in Dallas, TX, I still found myself captivated by his artistry & talent. I found his work to be unmatched to others in his field despite checking in on the local talent during each move over the years. When it came time to plan my destination wedding, the easiest answer besides saying yes to my now husband’s proposal was saying yes to John Barone Photography! Working with him & his wife in Curaçao was a dream & the pictures are absolutely stunning and truly everything I had hoped for. The communication leading up to, during, & after was just right. He curated such a special first look experience with my husband & me and also created a special first look moment with my Dad as well. He was thoughtful, present, organized, & calm… which was the perfect balance for a type A personality bride. He helped pose us & provided good direction and the pictures are simply stunning & look like they are from a bridal magazine! He also captured so many authentic candids that allowed me to relive the raw genuine emotions of the day. His presence during the ceremony & reception was like that of a photography ninja. He was present at all the right moments but never detracted from the moment. My Dad is very hard to please and could not stop raving about how professional & skilled John was even before getting the photos back. Him & his wife are wonderful people and it was such a pleasure having them both at my wedding. Photography was one of my top priorities when wedding planning and I knew I didn’t want the “resort photographer.” I am so happy John & his wife were willing to travel with all his gear to capture my special day abroad! If the memories ever fade, the photos will last forever! Worth the investment! :)

Hi! My name is Madison, but you can call me Maddi. Raised in Maryland, I've lived in Colorado, South Dakota, and Germany. I now live in Philly with my husband and our two dogs. After so many moves, Philly really is the place that feels like home. I've always had a love for photography and I feel privileged to bring my passion to life. I want my photos to capture the genuine feeling of the moment and to reflect you and your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are absolutely thrilled with our experience with Madison! From the moment we met, she was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. She made the whole process feel so natural and enjoyable, which was so important on such a big day. Not only was she professional, but she went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect. For example, when I was struggling to pin something to my dress, she immediately jumped in to help—something totally outside her job description, but she did it with a smile and made sure everything was perfect. It was those little thoughtful gestures that truly set her apart. And of course, the photos are nothing short of stunning! We absolutely love her style and the way she uses color. She made sure to capture every important moment, and we now have beautiful memories to cherish forever. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for not just a photographer, but someone who genuinely cares about making your day perfect.

First he did a mini sneak peak, then a larger sneak peak and then the full album. He did a fantastic job staying in communication to inform us when we would receive each batch of photos. His attention to detail and professionalism made working with him an incredible experience!

Heather is great! She took photos for our engagement session and our wedding. Heather is super professional but also kind. She helped make us feel comfortable during both photo sessions. For the wedding she created a wedding photographer timeline with us which helped a lot and also listened to our requests before and during the big day. During the wedding she helped gather people for photos. Family members said that she was very professional, in that she helped direct them, but also lovely to work with. She was also always on time and dressed appropriately. Our photos arrived on time in which she told us and were exactly what we could have dreamed of. Thank you so much for everything Heather!

We’re Thu and Matt, a husband and wife duo based in Philly, passionate about capturing your love story in the most authentic way. With a candid, editorial, and true-to-life photography style, we focus on the moments that matter. Your wedding deserves to be remembered in the most romantic and genuine way, and we’re here to preserve those memories forever.

So ElegantLe Photography was absolutely the best investment for our wedding and would highly recommend them for your photography needs. Thu was amazing with her attention to detail and comfortability directing us, especially for two awkward-in-photos people like myself and my husband. She was great with answering all our questions and truly helping us establish what it was we wanted in pictures for our day. On the day of our wedding, she (along with Matthew) managed everything perfectly considering the photos we wanted and the condensed time frame we had to get everything done. She kept us to our timeline and was organized with making sure we got all the shots that we discussed and then some. We also got our photos back within the estimated time frame that was provided (along with previews shortly after the wedding itself). Along with all that, there were other small details that just made our experience feel personal and special with So ElegantLe Photography.

I'm a documentarian and a storyteller at heart. I capture the most real and authentic moments I can, big or small, loud or quiet. I especially love catching moments that the couple might never get to witness except in their wedding photos. I'm based in Philly, but I'm always up for an adventure, especially one that takes me away from home.

Tracie is always my first choice for a photography colleague. She's magical--she knows where she needs to be, what to pay attention to, how I like to tell a story, and how to be an all around amazing, caring, personable human being. Her extensive background in news photojournalism gives her the ability to blend in with any crowd and has honed her visual storytelling skills. Above all, she is ethical and compassionate when approaching her subjects, and understands how to make anyone feel comfortable and cared for. Her images are always of the highest quality as well as artistic, and I know she will be able to roll with the punches with things go haywire--as they often do with live events. I would hire her in a heartbeat, and have relied on her for local and travel weddings for over a decade.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

Hi, I'm Emily, the person behind Emily Palm Photography. I'm based in Philly but I travel for weddings worldwide. My passion for photography lies in documenting each wedding's authentic love and real emotions.

Emily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was able to perfectly see our vision, and execute and embody that in her documentation of our day. The quality of her work, both digital and film, as well as her communication, was nothing less than personal and truly exquisite. The photos she took encapsulate the vibe and all the people present on our big day. She is prompt, responsive in both communication as well as creatively when it came to what we wanted out of a photographer, and kind and relatable. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Not only did she perform amazingly with flexibility and easy going-ness when our timing and lists proved to be less than an adequate, but I felt she truly enjoyed being there and doing what she was doing. She gave us multiple recommendations for other vendors, two of which we ended up choosing, and both of which who were equally fantastic. Your research ends here! Choose Emily! She is THE best!

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Jess, we knew she was our photographer, but not in the way that people say retrospectively. We were so excited after our meeting that we could barely wait until we got home to sign and tell her (we called out of joy) that she was going to be a part of our big day. She knew exactly what questions to ask to help us figure out what we wanted. We spent hours together at our engagement shoot without realizing how much time had passed because she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We can't recommend her more. When someone loves what they do, they shine, and as a result, you shine. That's what you're getting when you work with her. We couldn't be happier with the quality of her work, the insanely efficient communication, and to have spent the last year working with someone who is truly excited and passionate to make your experience perfect.

Hello, I'm Cheryl I'm a Philadelphia/NYC based photographer specializing in engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn and family photography. While working as a nurse, I found my passion in photography. My goal is to document genuine moments and provide results that you can cherish forever!

Cheryl is just THE best. Our wedding photos turned out better than I could’ve ever imagined. From the planning process, to the wedding day, to editing our photos, she does such great work and is amazing to work with. She was a calming and comforting presence when I was nervous the morning of the wedding. She ensured everything ran smoothly. We had to change the plan last minute due to a rainy day and she was easily able to transition things stress free. She found a new covered outdoor spot for photos and she explored the hotel herself to look for other spots as well. The bridal party and our families couldn’t say enough nice things about Cheryl. She got all of the photos we asked her to and the editing was fantastic. Not to mention she got all of the photos back to us in just 2 weeks which is unheard of. I will recommend her to all of my friends!! We can’t thank her enough!

Hey-Ooo! I'm a down-to-earth and jovial person that puts you at ease and makes people smile; so much so that sometimes people forget they are having their photo taken. I LOVE what I do, and it shows in every interaction and image I make. STYLE: candid. natural. fresh. ME: queer. female. climber. gamer. laughs a lot.

Lindsay shot my wedding on top of Mt Hood (check out the gallery on her site). I cannot recommend her highly enough. I have been present for three weddings she has shot. One was outdoor in the rain, one was on a farm on a sunny day, and my own was on the side of a mountain in a snow storm and then in a dark mountain lodge. In every setting she has captured stunningly beautiful photos while bringing an incredible positive energy that shines through in her work. When Lindsay is around, everyone wants to join in and have fun and help get the perfect shot. She simply brings a contagious energy to any event she shoots. She managed to convince all of our wedding guests to go outside in a blizzard at 7000’ elevation for a group shot, and climbed on a roof to capture the moment perfectly. She is also simply a technically phenomenal photographer. She nails the lighting indoors and outdoors, in the rain and sun and snow. She captures stunning group shots and beautiful fine detail shots. She even helped us plan out the itinerary for our day to maximize her time and the shots we could get throughout the day. If you’re looking for someone to capture a big moment, you’ve found them.

Hi there! I'm Inna, the owner and lead photographer. I started Peach Plum Pear Photo in 2012 and was immediately drawn to capturing real couples' love stories.

My goal is to capture the real you and what your wedding day felt like. Let me help you make beautiful memories for you!

The team at Peach Plum Pear captured every moment of our wedding beautifully. Thank you Inna, for your keen eye and ability to capture all the emotions of our couples photoshoot and wedding day dreams. We felt so comfortable and loved working with you and your team. My favorite part of the day was finding your smile among the chaos - I knew we were going to be okay! The shots are 10/10 absolutely fantastic - everyone is so happy with how they turned out, especially us!

Philadelphia, PA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

Hello, and welcome! Nick here, and I first wanted to stay thank you for taking the time to check out my work, and I look forward to the opportunity to capture your wedding day! My approach to your wedding day coverage is more of a documentation of genuine moments between you, your partner, friends, and family. Specializing in a photojournalistic style, I'm on the hunt for those natural smiles, tears of joy, and most importantly, finding you and your partner lost in the moment. I also strive for a clean and timeless look, focusing on composition, and I'm not afraid to give direction when needed.

I highly recommend Nick for all your photography needs! Nick was our photographer for both engagement photos and wedding and he did a fantastic job. The photos came back flawless and we were able to get them back in a very reasonable time frame. He worked within our busy schedule for photos and was super easy and prompt with communications. Nick (and his day of partner Becca) was professional and easy to work with and the joy and passion he has for photography certainly shows. We plan on using him for future needs.
