Hey Friend! Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images!!! I live for the RAW moments... the true emotion of the day. Tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your loved ones before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do!" I blend candid and guided shots, giving you the freedom to move about the day to enjoy it, while never having the thought of “what should I be doing” running through your mind! You'll be able to look back on your wedding photos 40 years from now and FEEL the emotions you felt that day. That's my promise to you!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren for our wedding, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! From the moment we first met her, it was clear that she wasn’t just passionate about photography—she genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our day in the most beautiful, authentic way possible. Lauren has an extraordinary eye for detail. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures moments—the spontaneous smiles, the glances exchanged, the raw emotions. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—something neither of us was used to. She took the time to understand our style and personalities, and tailored her approach to fit that perfectly. On the day of the wedding, her calm and positive energy was a grounding presence amid all the excitement. Lauren made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day and beyond. She’s a true artist, and her work will be cherished by us for years to come. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is not only professional but will go above and beyond to capture your most important moments, look no further than Lauren. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we are forever grateful! Thank you, Lauren, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

I am a wedding and elopement photographer located in Wyoming county. I love to take photos of weddings and elopements. Some say I have a true passion for what I do. I have learned a lot since I started and each wedding or session I am always striving to learn more. As a business owner I am fully insured and strive to be professional at everything I do. It's my goal to be able to do this full time someday! I love being able to capture someone's day it brings me happiness. I'm a pretty laid back go with the flow type of person. I do my absolute best to provide you with photos you'll remember forever.

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Tabatha was more than willing to help with any wedding issues I had. She captured so many amazing photos. I’m so thankful we chose her for our big day. Because of her, our wedding was captured in beautiful photos to be reminded of our gorgeous day.

We are David and Rachel McKissic, the owners and photographers. We have been in business for 9 eventful years in Indianapolis, and beyond. We took a risk with no experience, a love for art, and a love for love. We made this decision after we said "I do". We were going to buy a couch but we opted to chase a dream. We are still chasing that dream and capturing so many amazing moments along the way. We have 3 wonderful children who are the fuel of our lives' drive. I (Rachel) am a lover of detail and David lives life on the edge. Together, we are a complementary couple and you'll definitely sense it when you work with us! Let's connect!

Awarded Best of Zola
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Rachel and David on and leading up to our wedding day! From the moment I logged on to our first consultation with Rachel I knew we were in good hands. Her process for working with us was clear, straightforward, and attentive to detail. We were so glad that we were able to work with both Rachel and David and that they were willing to travel to South Bend, IN at a very reasonable cost. They were able to demonstrate poses together and each brought their own warmth and creativity to the shoot. They gave excellent directions and were exceptionally kind and patient with our family. The results are absolutely stunning - crisp, classic photos that celebrate our loved ones and even the smallest details of our wedding day! Our family and friends can't say enough about how wonderful they were to work with and how much they love the photos. We agree - we can't recommend Those McKissics highly enough!

Greetings! I’m Phil, a passionate and creative photographer based in the vibrant city of Chicago. With a lens as my canvas, I specialize in capturing the essence of moments that tell unique stories. From the picturesque lakeside to the heart of the city, I specialize in crafting timeless engagement and wedding photos that reflect the love and joy of couples saying, "will you marry me?" and "I do" in Chicago.

We are SO happy with how the photos turned out and would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you Phil!

Nice to meet you, I’m Alena or lena, whatever you want to call me. My simple pleasures in life are rare plants, good coffee, and soft music (aka, lots of Bon Iver & Gregory Alan Isakov) More importantly, you guys, my clients. With photography being my full time job, I get to put every single ounce of my being into creating magical images for you to look back on for years to come. That’s really what I’m here for. So, let’s get coffee or a drink so I can get to know you and your partner, and create magic with you both.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had Alena as our photographer since 2018! I had been recommended by a friend and had her for our engagement photos, wedding, the birth of our first born, his first birthday, and our second born! If that doesn’t speak for itself. Alena is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and overall a great person, and friend. Her photos aren’t just any photos that you see. She puts time, and hardwork into her editing and it pays off. They’re moody, flirty, fun, intimate. She can do quite literally anything you ask for. No need to worry about being nervous about being in front of her camera, she knows how to pose you and talks to you the entire time. It feels like you’re hanging out with friends and it’s so so enjoyable!

I’m Megan Thompson, and I am the gal behind the camera at Meganography! I’ve always had a passion for photography, ever since I was a wee little one! When I was approx. 4 years old, my Grandma would let me use her camera to take pictures of my dolls (lol)! I've owned Meganography since 2016, and I've been photographing love since 2017. As you can tell, I LOVE to travel! Please ask about my "wedding bucket list location" list, occasionally I offer discounts in those locations. I also am in love with any and all cats of the world, sunshine, wearing sweatpants/leggings, and Starbucks pink drinks! My goal is to capture your love in every image.

Megan and Dom were so excellent. They arrived and got to work! They went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly. I am in love with all the candid shots that were captured. I am so happy I found Megan on Facebook earlier this year. The communication was great; I knew exactly what to expect before, the day of, and after when waiting for the photos and video. I highly recommend Meganography to capture your special day.
