You are adventurous, unique, & real in every way Your wedding photos should be too. I work with fun couples who are madly in love, each unique in their own way. I don't work with models... Which means, almost every couple I photograph is not experienced in front of the camera! I understand that "posing" doesn't feel natural for a majority of people, which is why I create an environment that prompts fun movements, natural laughter, and draws out your vulnerable emotions.

Lexi exceeding our expectations when it came to photography! She shot our engagement and wedding photos and both so far have been beautiful! She was very friendly, kind, and so so easy to work with. She really took the time to get to know me and my husband during our sessions. Also, Lexi will send sneak peaks of your shoot, that just keeps you on the edge of your seat for the rest of the photos!! Would highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer that will work with you, treat you like a friend, and cares about getting the important shots!

Awarded Best of Zola
Matthew took our wedding photos back in February 2024 and we could not have asked for a better photographer. Before the wedding we had several calls and he made sure he knew how the day was going to run and what type of photos we wanted him to prioritize. We really wanted a lot of candid moments of us and our family and Matthew delivered! He captured some amazing and beautiful moments from our ceremony and many fun moments from our reception as well a little details that we did not have time to appreciate because we were so busy being the “bride and groom” in the moment! We are finally taking some time to print our photos and looking back through our gallery makes us feel like we are reliving our beautiful day over and over again. Thank you Matthew for capturing so many beautiful moments that we will look back on and cherish for the rest of our lives. Highly recommend working with him for photos that will make your heart smile.

HI! I am so glad that you are here. I have discovered that the joy in photography is capturing moments in your life and turning them into tangible memories you can hang on to for a lifetime! I pride myself on capturing the most authentic you and making you feel amazing in front of the camera. I am married to an amazing man and have a sweet baby girl. I am based in West Texas, and love traveling. If you’d like to learn more, please get in touch. I want to be your personal hype-woman and new best friend!

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Ragan. From the very beginning we knew everything was going to be amazing. We booked her for our engagement photos and our wedding photos in a package deal. I hadn’t seen much of her wedding photos at that point but I had seen some engagements and graduation photos and loved what I saw. She was extremely flexible when everything for our engagement shoot was going wrong. We had to rebook the date a few times because of weather. The final shoot day she got to the location way before we did and informed us the ground was way too muddy and I went into a small panic. She graciously waited for us to frantically pick a second location in about a half an hour and drove out of her way to come do photos for us. She had us laughing the entire shoot. She made us do the silliest things which created the perfect photos. She gave us both amazing confidence boosters and helped us be comfortable in front of the camera. She was extremely helpful when I was stuck between local baker choices and food truck ideas which is not her job and she did not need to do. She was on top of everything I needed to provide to her. She made sure I got my photo list in order and my time line finalized. On the day of the wedding her and her second shooter were amazing. They got every photo I asked them for. They captured some of the sweetest moments that I will be able to cherish forever. When everything at the wedding was going crazy and the DJ had no idea what he was doing she made sure everything stayed on track which I am so grateful for. I was so excited to get our photos back from the day of and she made sure I had sneak peaks the following week or so. She got my album for me in a very timely manner that I was able to share with whomever I wanted in a link. I can not say enough amazing things and I would hire Ragan again for another event in a heart beat

I am originally from New Mexico, but I moved to SoCal when I married my dreamy Marine. I have a cutesy pup names Rocky who is energetic and cuddly.

Nevaeh is not only an amazing photographer, but she’s an amazing person who is always smiling and working hard to capture the right moment. She photographed our wedding in 2020 (during Covid). It was a small outdoor wedding. She captured some amazing photos and always did so with a smile. She has so many great ideas and made it so easy to pose. She was great to work with and would recommend her to anyone in search of a photographer from family photos, senior photos to weddings. Nevaeh is your photographer!

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

Maya Papaya Pictures was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding & engagement session. Her communication was prompt, and they truly listened to our wants and needs, responding quickly to any questions or concerns. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - it was of the highest caliber. On the day of our wedding, Maya & Courtney helped calm the nerves of the chaotic day and worked seamlessly with our two huge and intrusive families to capture beautiful photos. We could not be happier with the memories they helped create for us. We can not wait to use Maya for any photo necessities we might need!

Christine of Antler Run photography was ABSOLUTELY amazing to work with! My husband and I did a lot of research finding an elopement photographer and were nervous being it was out of state for us. I booked with Antler Run a year in advance and Christine kept in touch with me during the lead up to the shoot. We changed plans and she was happy to work with us on it. She actually looked at my Pinterest inspo and gave me exactly the vision I had very easily. We had 15 sneak peek pics 5 days later and THEY. ARE. PHENOMENAL. I’m so excited to get the rest of the pictures. Christine even baked us a sugar free chocolate cake (due to my husband being a type 1 diabetic)!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kiera! She has been our go-to photographer for all of life’s special moments—our wedding, maternity, newborn photos, and family portraits. Kiera is incredibly understanding, patient, and accommodating. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she truly goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are happy. I just got married this past weekend and spent over seven hours with Kiera. Not only did she capture breathtaking photos, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly and put me at ease as a bride, which was invaluable! Her calming presence, friendly demeanor, and professionalism made everything feel effortless. One of the standout features of working with Kiera is the convenience of her online album. After each session, we get quick access to our photos, where we can easily view them and select our favorites. This allows us to have full control over the final selections, ensuring that we get the exact photos we want to have edited. I highly recommend Kiera to all my family and friends. Whether you’re in New Mexico or the surrounding areas, Kiera is the photographer you want. She even travels out of state!

But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer.

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 happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and 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 worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of 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.

Hey there! Welcome to my Zola page! I am a NYS based traveling wedding photographer! I grew up in Rochester, NY and have always had a love for photography! Here at Natalie Plunkett Photography, I hold both myself and my photographers accountable for being not only being a positive influence, but also a respectful and supportive person. My studio empowers the ideal of everyone is a person, regardless of gender, race, and religion.

Natalie was such a sweetheart! Took the cutest photos of my boyfriend and i in a flower field. The candid ones we didn’t even know she took were the best part. She effortlessly captures the moment. She made the environment so friendly and comfortable. The experience was so fun and we got everything we dreamed of and more with our photos. I’ve already reached out to have her take more photos for me!

We've been photographing and videotaping weddings and events for over 24 years. We really enjoy being able to document a this special time in a couple's beginning. Often times we become friends with them and get to follow their life journey after the wedding by also documenting other special moments like births, birthdays and more.

Working with Jamie and Crystalline Photography & Video was amazing! She was so communicative during the preparation process and after the wedding. During the wedding, she made sure we knew that she was on top of things and assisted where needed, but then we barely saw her or her team which was exactly what we needed to be able to enjoy the wedding! Afterwards, she sent us an online gallery of photos so we could look at them as well as our highlight reel while we were waiting for the video and the rest of the photos, all which she communicated via email in detail. Jamie also sent me reminders of when payments were due (and as a forgetful ADHD bride, I greatly appreciated that). Jamie and her team produced INCREDIBLE work and I’m so happy I picked Crystalline Photography & Video to document our wedding! Thank you!!

Nestled in the heart of Colorado, my creative journey spans over seven vibrant years in the freelance photography world. From the dynamic realm of being featured by National Geographic, my lens has captured diverse narratives, showcasing the extraordinary in the ordinary. With over three years dedicated to immortalizing love stories through wedding films against the stunning backdrop of Colorado's landscapes, I weave emotions and moments into timeless visual tales. Each frame is a testament to a passion for storytelling and an eye for detail that transcends conventional boundaries, leaving a lasting imprint on every project I undertake.

Couldn’t have asked for a better engagement photo session with Tommy. He made us comfortable in front of the camera with his easy going but fun personality and had such creative ideas for poses! The pictures and edits turned out beautiful. His attention to detail went beyond my expectations when I saw the incredible work… He made a crowded beach look like we were the only ones there! Can’t thank Tommy enough for listening to my vision and making it even better!

I am lucky; I get to do what I love for a living, have a ton of fun doing it, and meet a lot of great people along the way. It's a bonus that I get to also travel a lot for it as well. I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cody is very personable, accommodating and enthusiastic. His ability to see a vision and capture through his lens is second to none. Having watched him work with hundreds of brides and seeing the results you know he is a true artist. All of his positive attributes made it a simple decision to utilize his talents for our family photos. We unequivocally support Cody and are confident he will capture your special moments.

Being part of my clients story, is where I have found my calling. Capturing moments in your life, freezing those memories, and making them stay alive each time you look at your photos, is truly what makes my time rewarding. There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.

Honestly, our big day would have not been as amazing if it wasn’t for Cori. She literally is so amazing! She captured every detail and every unplanned beautiful moment wonderfully. She’s professional, fun, makes everything less stressful, helps out where she can even outside the photos and video just to help ensure your day is as beautiful as possible. We had a lot of hiccups on our wedding and she helped far past what was needed and it made the biggest difference for me personally more than she even knows. She’s level headed and helps you get back focused on your special day. The day, the pictures, the video all AMAZING!
