I could not recommend Mindy more! She was absolutely fantastic to work with and was extremely thoughtful and helpful with the entire experience. I used Mindy to capture two events, a proposal and and a surprise engagement party. For the proposal, Mindy spend a lot of time with me thinking through the right proposal spot at the location I was looking at to make sure that it worked for the photos, she even got there early to make sure that it worked. She was so well hidden to capture the proposal that for a moment I wasn't sure she was there, but she was and captured it and spent time with us after to take photos. We just got the sneak peak of the photos and they look fantastic. For the surprise party Mindy got there early and started to capture moments even before my fiancee and I arrived, she was really flexible on what worked best for the event so we can't wait to see the final photos!

Their communication style was easily understandable and patient, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was much more than we expected - the photos they captured of our special day are truly beautiful. Both photographers were so sweet and stayed past their scheduled hours to capture our speeches, going above and beyond to make sure they documented all the love and joy of our wedding. I was initially on the fence about hiring a professional photographer due to the cost, but Morgan and her team made it worth every penny. I don't regret a single thing about working with them, and I would recommend Morgan Made Photos to anyone looking for an elegant and professional photography experience for their wedding. Hiring them was hands down the best decision I made for our big day.

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day ! We are so excited to share these photos with our loved ones for generations to come.

My husband and I couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience with Brittney! From the moment I met her, I immediately knew I wanted her to be our photographer. At a wedding showcase with 30 other photographers, she was the only one I felt comfortable with. She felt like a friend from the start. Before the wedding, Brittney was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and helping us plan all the perfect shots and details. She knew what to ask and was so patient with us throughout the entire planning process. One of the standout moments from the wedding was when our 1-year-old daughter, who was the flower girl, had a full-on meltdown. Despite the chaos, Brittney was incredibly patient and worked some kind of magic to capture the most gorgeous and creative photos with our screaming toddler! I truly dont know how she did it but we got great shots of everyone. She was even patient with our dog who had to take frequent breaks from the heat! The pictures turned out amazing, and we are so grateful for her patience, her creativity, and her ability to capture the true essence of the day—even the most challenging moments. We had a very small outside ceremony in Long Beach with only our immediate families. Brittney felt like an extension of our family being there. I truly felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also calm, professional, and a joy to work with!

As your wedding photographer, a significant part of my role is to consider the fine art aspects of the galleries I create. Things like choosing the best light to fall over your wedding gown, balancing compositions, blending color, and layering textures to create dynamic and beautiful images. But it's much bigger than that. Photographs tell our stories, reveal emotion in ways that words can't, and offer the gift of visual legacy. An artfully told story transcends time. Beautiful photographs require exceptional artists. And you deserve exceptional art.

Hi there! I'm Zack, a wedding photographer from Orange County, Ca. Ever since I was a young kid studying (and sketching!) bugs in the backyard, I've had a fierce love for the details in the little moments of this crazy life. I got my first "real" camera when I was 12 and was instantly hooked. As I grew, so did my passion and ability to translate those moments into memories. I had the chance to help photograph a wedding when I was 17 and wow! What an experience! That night, I looked through the photos and fell in love. I knew that capturing the moments that would mean something to someone for the rest of their life was where I belonged.

From start to finish, Jen demonstrated a level of professionalism that truly sets her apart in the world of photography. First and foremost, the end result speaks volumes about Jen's talent. The photos she captured during our styled shoot were nothing short of stunning. Her ability to manipulate light, composition, and color is truly remarkable. Each image was a work of art, and I was left in awe of her skill as I flipped through the final gallery. Jen has a knack for capturing not just moments, but emotions and atmosphere, making her photos come alive in the most extraordinary way. What sets Jen apart even further is her clear and unique vision. It was evident throughout our collaboration that she had a well-defined style and a creative perspective that breathed life into our project. Her ability to conceptualize and execute her ideas is a testament to her artistic prowess. Jen's photographs have a certain magic to them, a distinctive quality that makes them stand out in a crowded field. Working with Jen was an absolute delight. Her friendly and approachable demeanor put everyone at ease during the shoot, fostering a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

I’m a modern and journalistic photographer who specializes in capturing candid, spontaneous moments in a natural and unobtrusive way. It is characterized by its emphasis on storytelling and the use of a documentary style of photography. modern and journalistic photography emphasizes authenticity, storytelling, and capturing the unique personality and emotions of the subject. By using a natural and unobtrusive approach, I create a more personal and intimate representation of their subject.

My husband and I had a wonderful overall experience with Bryan at White August Photography. From the initial phone call to the day we picked up our finalized wedding photos, he was nothing but professional! I was, at first, hesitant about deciding to go with White August for our engagement and wedding day photos, but after meeting Bryan at his office and seeing his works as well as photo packages, we knew he was the right one. We took our engagement photos a few months beforehand... the weekend after the Fourth of July. Even in the hot summer weather, Bryan helped us stay relaxed and stayed open about all suggestions or concerns. Thus, our engagement photos turned out beautifully! I have received so many compliments about our photos and many of my older friends who have babies/ will soon be married are asking about who took our photos because they want to hire Bryan for their events. He is definitely willing to work with any suggestions because he let us do the initial styling and choosing of engagement session sites. When we were stuck, he stepped in and gave us advice from his experiences. I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable and fun engagement photo session. On the wedding day, he came with an extra photographer to help shoot different angles throughout the ceremony and reception. Bryan also worked well with our other vendors and helpers, so that definitely was a huge plus for a stressed-out bride! Oh, and his timing is great! We received samples of our engagement photos incredibly fast, and we were able to send out save-the-date cards! Also, our wedding day photos were ready in a month with quality work :) I know I will be going to Bryan of White August for my future events and will refer him to friends and family!

MKT Media was very professional and nearly invisible (in a good way!) during our ceremony and reception. Our wedding video is absolutely stunning! The drone shots were amazing! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Cannot recommend Marcus and Ash enough!!

I'm Daisy (also known as the 3 styled Photog) Passionate; Expressive; Devout. Photography is something that I stumbled upon 8 years ago and instantly fell in love with. I am fortunate enough that I have found joy in capturing the art amidst peoples' lives and places around the world. I was born in France, spent my childhood in Cameroon, West Africa and moved to the USA 25 years ago. My foreign experiences, footwork and training has allowed me to become an avid photography world traveler. My personal favorite focus is Wedding Photography and specifically shooting in three distinct styles (Light and Airy, Moody, and in Vibrant Colors).

Daisy was easy to work with and put the groom at ease prior to the ceremony

When Kristy showed up, Kristy had a plan and activated the plan. Her timing was down to a T!
