We were thrilled with our wedding photographer from Wedding Bug. David was a dream to work with - his communication style was amazing throughout the entire process. He was incredibly responsive, made everything easy and fun, and had an incredible talent behind the lens. The photos David captured from our special day are stunning - he has such an artistic eye and brilliant way of composing shots. He brought so much energy and fun to our event, making all of our wedding party feel at ease while also directing us for gorgeous portraits. The value and quality of David's work is exceptional. I cannot recommend Wedding Bug highly enough - they are simply amazing! Their entire team, especially David, were a joy to work with and contributed so much to making our wedding day perfect. Frank was our DJ and he was absolutely amazing to work with. He kept the dance floor full and made quick adjustments to the crazy night. He was kind and smart and great to work with! I would book both of them a million times over!

  • Starts at $3,500

I am a photographer that looks for the extraordinary and artistic angles in each portrait session or wedding. I make artwork for your home while documenting authentic moments. I am inspired by emotions, intimate moments and the way the light captures a feeling. I stop and observe in my life and am in tune with my spiritual side. I hope this shows in my work as I enjoy making others feel comfortable and good about them selves. I enjoy capturing connection, love, and happiness in each wedding.

It was a pleasure working with Heather Fowler Photography. We had her shoot our wedding at Terrain Gardens in late May 2023. Pre-wedding we aligned on desired shots, expectations, and vision for the day. Heather and Laurie (second shooter) were on time and lovely to work with. We went to multiple sites: Hotel, Washington Memorial Chapel, and Terrain Gardens. Their organization was very much appreciated! The digital photos were delivered within the contracted timeframe and reasonable pricing. It was a collaborative effort to rearrange the wedding album and wow the wedding album was of quality material. We are very happy with the images. I highly recommend working with Heather for weddings or other opportunities. We will look to Heather Fowler Photography for future milestones.

Tracie Kitt Photography 

5.0

Philadelphia, PA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,050

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.

Philadelphia, PA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,725

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.

As a wedding planner, we are always looking for talented photographers to recommend to our clients and Jess is someone we routinely recommend. Her approach to photography is authentic and personal and photos are always filled with so much emotion. She seems to perfectly capture couples in a way that allows you to feel like you know them and their personal story. She is perfect for couples looking to have their day captured naturally and not in a forced style. Along with her talent, Jess is a joy to work with on wedding days. She's a quit yet quick, seeming to always be where she needs to be at exactly the right moment without having a camera in your face. With so many photographers out in the market, it can be hard to stand out, but Jess has seemingly found her place in this industry and her work speaks for itself. Any couple would be lucky to have her capture their day and any vendor is lucky to work alongside her.

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!

Chrissy has been great from the start of our time working with her for our wedding day. She truly got to know us and our style, and we had such a great time working with her! You could tell the quality of her work as she discussed with us about how we should take pictures by city hall at the time of sunset - and also really got to know our venue days before the wedding - to know great locations to take pictures. Also, even before I chose Chrissy as the photographer for our wedding - I truly loved her style as I saw from her instagram and her website. Chrissy is extremely talented, and it was a joy to work with her!

I will start by speaking my truth: I am 100 percent in love with love. When I pick up the camera and the chemistry between a couple lights up in front of me, all of my creativity takes flight. It's like a spark that spreads light everywhere. Love between a couple, love amongst a family... it is all love in many forms. Behind the lens, I smile A LOT while I shoot. You want to feel beautiful and have your photos capture you at your happiest -- and LOVE the photos. I would love the chance to work with you, and capture your love story or your family story. Or any story you want to share. Please be in touch!

Kim was so great to work with! My partner and I eloped in the Wissahickon and Kim was great to work with! She understood the vibe of our tiny wedding and that we are also not the most comfortable with pictures. Kim was extremely helpful giving prompts for poses and was all-in for our very nature-focused ceremony spot. The pictures are beautiful and I'm so happy to have them.

Maria A. Garth Photography

Philadelphia, PA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800

I’m Maria, an experienced wedding photographer specializing in multicultural and Western celebrations. As a child, I developed a passion for the arts and culture that only continued to grow with me. After studying photography in college, I decided to pursue wedding photography and have never looked back. I’ve found this path to be more fulfilling than I ever imagined possible, and have settled into my photojournalistic style over the years. I love photographing moments that unfold spontaneously. If you’re looking to capture your love in a way that feels authentic and creative, I’m here for you.

Our experience with Maria was excellent! We were initially overwhelmed when trying to select a photographer for our interfaith wedding, but seeing Maria’s photos on her website made the decision easy. We really appreciated her style of photography - deep rich colors and focus on the couple. Other photographers seemed to have a lot of strange angles and washed out colors, which we were trying to avoid. Hiring Maria was a breeze. She is responsive by email and always happy to jump on a call when needed. Part of her package included engagement photos, which were extremely helpful when putting together our save the dates and website. She is intuitive, yet also did a good job of asking us for our preferences to confirm. The wedding day was also a breeze, and Maria documented all of our key moments without being intrusive at all. Maria’s turnaround times are excellent, and she was never late with delivering sneak peeks or the digital albums. Finally, we also worked with Maria on the final physical photo album. She was very flexible and allowed us to have multiple rounds of revisions. She was very accommodating even when we wanted to swap out many photos for more preferred variations. It was a lot of work and Maria did not hesitate to help us develop the perfect album. Overall my wife and I would highly recommend Maria for any event based on our experience working with her for our wedding. Thanks Maria!

  • Starts at $3,800

Hey! I’m Elizabeth. I’m a full time freelance photographer currently living in Philadelphia. I was born in Chicago and first started taking photos on my dad’s little point and shoot when I was about 10. Though photography was my first love, I decided to pursue a more “practical” college degree and studied international politics focusing on comparative cultural and economic systems of Eurasia (my degree is currently collecting dust beautifully on my shelf).The whole time, I was doing more and more photography as a creative outlet to the point where I realized I should follow my passion for it and go all in. So all in I went, and here I am!

I can’t say enough good things about Elizabeth and her talent for capturing genuine and special moments. The photos she creates are truly pieces of art and I feel so honored to have worked with her. Our posed family and couple portraits were quick and efficient so that we could focus on capturing more candid moments throughout the night. I was thankful to have someone that didn’t force me to pose for pictures all day, but she also pushed us outside of our comfort zone and encouraged us to have fun with couple shots. She let us (and our guests) enjoy the day and I think our photos showcase that really well.

  • Starts at $4,700

Hi there! I’m Michelle, the wedding photographer behind Michelle Lynn Weddings. I love authentic, timeless, and joyful photographs, and I’m drawn to photographing weddings with a mix of romantic, natural portraits and a photojournalistic style. I have an easygoing, go-with-the-flow & positive personality that my clients find very calming and reassuring.

Michelle was phenomenal from the start. Before booking we met up at a Panera to see if we had the same idea for what was important in a photographer. Her packages were reasonably priced and included an engagement session. I never thought I'd want one but boy was I glad to have one. We were able to get comfortable posing in front of a camera and we also learned what poses we liked and what ones we really didn't like. Michelle quickly got us our engagement photos. We were able to view and download them from her website! On the day of the wedding, Michelle and her 2nd shooter were both on time and professional, but since we had the engagement shoot it felt like we were seeing friends again. She made sure to get the shots that I had requested but also captured the details I didn't even think of. After the wedding Michelle again quickly got our photos to us online but then also sent us a beautiful package with a flash drive that included the engagement shoot and some prints as well. Michelle even took the time for us to look through and find some additional photos of my husbands grandfather after he passed away. She is truly amazing. I cannot recommend Michelle enough, she was spectacular through the entire process. If you want an amazing photographer and wonderful human then she is your girl!

Hi, I am a multi-cultural wedding photographer, with a taste for bold and vibrant imagery, authentic moments and a dash of glamor. Emotions drive my passion for the art form, and human connections guide me. Born and raised in another hemisphere, I have traveled since.

I bring the same drive to my wedding photography, where every couple, every family, and all the cultures and traditions I come across, have a different story to tell, and I have the privilege to witness and capture it all!

I created Photodelphia to be able to make a living doing what I love!

If you're looking for someone to dance and sing Chappell Roan with, then you're in the right place!

If I could give Harley more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the moment she arrived on my wedding day, she was not just a photographer—she was the glue that held everything together. She kept the energy high, the vibes perfect, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once, capturing every single special moment while also stepping in to help in ways I didn’t even know a photographer could! Whether it was adjusting my dress, hyping me up when I needed it most, making us laugh, or making sure we stayed on schedule, Harley went above and beyond in every possible way. And let’s talk about the photos—WOW. I am absolutely in love with every single one. I look at them every day, and somehow, I keep discovering new favorites! She has such an eye for capturing the most genuine, emotional, and joyful moments. Every photo brings me right back to the best day of my life, and I couldn’t be more grateful. But the best part? With Harley, you don’t just get a photographer—you gain a lifelong friend. I already know we’ll be using her for every family milestone to come. If you’re looking for someone who will not only deliver breathtaking photos but also be your biggest supporter, your problem-solver, and your personal hype woman, Harley is the one. Book her now—you won’t regret it!
