There aren’t enough stars or positive reviews to accurately describe Morgan and her work. We are repeat customers and always will be. Morgan made having pictures taken of my husband and I so easy. She gave us lots of fun little prompts to do so that our pictures had authentic smiles from laughing and giggling. The pictures all turned out so natural and captured all the true happiness there. She was very professional from beginning to end, but also extremely personable. Morgan was on time and so efficient. She whizzes around and gets every last detail you could imagine. I have nothing but positive things to say about her. I recommended her 3 years ago, I recommend her today and I’m positive I will recommend her for years to come! She is worth her weight in gold!

Kelly Loss Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Rancho Santa Fe, CA for additional fees

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Kelly was our wedding photographer and we couldn’t recommend her enough! She perfectly captured our wedding in her photos, and we really feel like we relive the day every time we look at them. She helped us think through what we wanted our photos to reflect, which made them all the more meaningful to us because they are true to our relationship. Her photography style is timeless, lively, and approachable. Kelly’s kind and down to earth nature really stands out in an otherwise daunting wedding industry.

My name is Stephanie. Myself and my Husband Steve are Fireside Sparrow Photography. We lead with intention to create a gallery that is artfully authentic to your day because your wedding is unique and should reflect who you are. We do NOT offer video. We are boutique photographers that are for the clients and couples that value photography but also value being present in their day. Your wedding is not a day of photos, we come to take photos of your day. Every package is custom to each client as your experience with us is exclusive to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.

All of the advice she gave from her wedding experience was such a big help. Victoria did an amazing job rallying the troops for photos calmly and professionally.

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

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!

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys.

This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

Hi! I'm Taylor a Georgia based Wedding photographer, mommy, and cheesecake lover. Obsessed with: Family, Naps, and good books. I’ve been keeping it real since 1997. I started my business when I was just 17 years old. Since then I have turned that small hobby into a full time career photographing beautiful couples love stories. Throughout my 8 years in business, I have been lucky enough to photograph over 200 weddings throughout Georgia and the other southern states.

As a wedding officiant, I have the pleasure of working with so many different vendors, photographers in particular, and I can honestly say that Taylor is one of the best! Working with her is always fabulous! Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing perfect moments and special details are second to none. She puts couples at ease with her easy going nature which helps them to relax around her and act naturally, in turn allowing her to capture a variety of gorgeous shots. During the ceremony itself, she blends seamlessly into the background while effortlessly capturing the essence of the heart of the ceremony. So much so that, as the officiant, I am unaware that she is even there which I think is a perfect approach for that particular part of the wedding day! Taylors work is truly beautiful and her commitment to ensuring her couples have the best possible photography experience attention to detail and commitment to excellence makes her a standout choice for any wedding or special event. I highly recommend Taylor to couples seeking not only beautiful photographs that will serve as lasting memories, but also a stress-free, authentic, personable experience on their big day.

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation to now (months post wedding), Kim has been INCREDIBLE! Please stop looking for a photographer and hire Kim. When we first started searching for a photographer, we were struck by Kim's ability to capture the genuine emotion in each and every photograph. We were lucky enough to work with Kim for both an engagement session and our wedding. Spending your wedding day with Kim is like spending the day with one of your best friends. Her warmth and sense of humor instantly makes you feel comfortable. She captured our day exactly how we experienced it. Kim seamlessly fit in with our families and friends. She even worked pure magic on our 3 flower girls and ring bearer (all under the age of 5!!). We treasure our beautiful photos and are so grateful to Kim for her talent, patience, and kindness throughout the entire process. You hire a photographer and end up with a wonderful friend!

Cassie is fantastic! She is a true artist and knows how to capture really amazing photographs. We had asked for a few specific photos which came out lovely, and she came prepared with additional ideas for poses that turned out to be some of our favorite photos of all! We had booked her for our engagement photos and wedding, which was really helpful because we met first for the engagement photos and she got a sense of us as a couple ahead of the wedding. Cassie really takes into account the whole personality of your wedding. She was also skilled at taking pictures without overcrowding—she got so many great candids and we don't remember seeing her. These photos are going to be on display for the rest of our life together and we're so happy that we hired Cassie to capture our wedding day. We recommend her wholeheartedly!

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I live in Oregon with my two cats Clara & Leonardo and about a hundred tropical plants 😆🪴 I love exploring the Pacific Northwest, but I’ve also been able to travel throughout the states and overseas. I’m a huge national parks nerd, a sci-fi enthusiast, and a vintage collector with a serious thrifting addiction.

Working with Naomi from Northwest Hearts Photography was a pleasure. She has a creative eye and took the time to get to know us as a couple. She was able to beautifully captured the emotion in our engagement photos and was willing to travel to our favorite spot on the coast. Unfortunately a last minute family emergency prevented her from shooting our wedding day. However, Naomi communicated with us promptly and had arranged for a capable backup photographer to step in, which helped ensure our special day went smoothly. While we were disappointed not to have Naomi herself there, we appreciated her professionalism and care in making sure we were taken care of. We'd recommend Naomi for her creativity, flexibility and dedication to her clients.

Douglas was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding on 08/17/24. Our original wedding photographer cancelled two weeks before our wedding, and a friend recommended we reach out to Doug. He was thankfully available and from the moment we reached out, he was so easy to communicate with - always quick to respond, extremely accommodating, and so easy-going. His work has been absolutely beautiful, he has an amazing understanding of light, composition, and framing with a lot of experience working with outdoor conditions that truly captured the essence of our special day. Doug fit right in with our wedding - he showed up early, stayed late, and somehow (while just following the standard schedule of the day) managed to get the most incredible true lighting and color in *all* of our photos - everything feels exactly like the day itself felt. We couldn't be happier with the results and would without a doubt recommend Douglas R Hall Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

When I was first planning my wedding in 2018 I had messaged probably about 5 other local photographers and they were the first to respond. Other ones either completely ignored our call or emails or got back to us days later. I loved how quickly they got back to us so we planned to meet. Upon meeting them they just had the chillest vibes. Super knowledgeable in their craft and answered every annoying question we had. When we booked our engagements my idea was to go somewhere in the mountains during the fall because we love to hike and OMG the photos that we got were straight out of a Bob Ross painting! Then the day of the wedding when I was having typical wedding drama, Dee helped me calm down and made sure all the focus was on me and my husband. Meanwhile Cory was with my husband taking some of my favorite photos of him (he's definitely not a picture guy). They captured so many of my personal favorites moments of the day in a point of veiw that I would never get to see. They are truly so talented and have such a great eye. True artists of their craft. You will not regret them capturing all of your moments!

CONGRATULATIONS! You just got engaged! :o I'm a firm believer in weddings being a blast, so I do what I can to make sure that your time spent with me is fun, active, natural, and feels like YOU! I'm also a firm believer in doing my part in making your wedding planning simpler for you, because let's face it wedding planning can be a bit overwhelming especially in the beginning. Also, weddings are stupid expensive and the moment you add the word "wedding" to anything the price jumps like 5x which is NOT COOL, and doesn't set couples up for success. So I try to keep my prices low. If you need help paying let me know!

We immediately knew we wanted Nick to photograph our wedding after the experience we had with our engagement photoshoot. From the moment we had asked nick to photograph our wedding his communication was on point. We had a handful of FaceTime meetings to discuss what we wanted out of our experience, if we wanted any specific shots on our special day, and he even created a detailed timeline of how the day would be going photography wise. When he arrived at my bridal cabin he dove right into his job without missing a beat. Nick made me and my bridal party feel relaxed and made sure that we were having fun throughout our bridesmaid photos. I’m not one to like having my photo taken but Nick helped calm my nervous and told me to just go with it. I absolutely love the single shots he took of me! The photos Nick took of my husband and his groomsman looked amazing and you could tell the guys were having fun in the photos. When it came to the first look with my husband Nick directed the both of us with ease. He really captured every moment and emotion on our big day. He even got photos of the dance battle that broke out at the reception. I didn’t even notice he was doing it and I’m so glad he did because that was one of my favorite moments from our wedding. I would recommend him to anyone and plan on using him in the future for anymore upcoming life events my husband and I would want captured.

I'm a Las Vegas based professional wedding photographer, working with couples from all over the world, as well as a travelling wedding photographer. Along with adoring weddings, I'm a serious hockey fan, with silver hair, and a terribly awkward smile. When I’m not photographing people, I love photographing Lego Minifigs on location, Darth Vader being a favorite (and personal hero) but I like expanding my collection of character portraits. I have a wicked sense of humor, a weakness for Rom Com’s & Spanish red wine. In my personal time I work closely with a local dog rescue, as a foster home and photographer, helping find their furever homes.

I highly, highly recommend Victoria for any professional photo shoots. She shot our wedding last March and the pictures were absolutely amazing. She is incredibly professional, thorough, detail oriented, prompt, and has an amazing creative eye to capture stunning photos. She even saved us a huge disappointment by checking the time of sunset on our wedding day (it was the day before daylight savings time) on our first conversation! Had she not, we wouldn’t have known to move our wedding time up by an hour and we would’ve had all of our pictures in the dark! That was a major catch! She was so easy to work with, always made herself available to answer questions, and was totally on point on our wedding day. She stuck to our day-of schedule, made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted within the timeframe, directed us on how to pose and overall was a pleasure to work with. On a day that could be really stressful, we were totally at ease with her. I would hire her a million more times over!

Hi there! I’m Sara, the creative force behind Iris Rose. As a child, I loved to create - it was my favorite thing. Through years of navigating life’s challenges, I drifted away from my creative roots. In 2020, I picked up a camera and photography brought me back to that creative space, allowing me to capture something both beautiful and meaningful and I fell in love. When I’m being creative, I feel like my best self.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars because Iris Rose absolutely deserves more. I cannot even begin to describe how happy I am with our engagement photos. They came out even better than I ever could have dreamed of. Not only is Sara talented, but she’s also so fun to work with. My fiancé and I were a little nervous at first but she was so calming and made the experience so fun and enjoyable. She is also doing my wedding photos and I cannot wait. I am so grateful I found her and would highly recommend her to anyone. She is the best!

Based in the heart of Nashville and journeying with couples worldwide full-time since 2018, I specialize in crafting timeless, low-stress, editorial images and elevated, audio-centric cinematic wedding films. For the free-spirited and the adventurous, for the lovers of art and bold style, your dream wedding memories await. Everyone deserves to have their wedding captured with care, creativity, and kindness. I can't wait to create an amazing experience for you and your partner.

TLDR: she is talented, professional & kind very helpful as someone with limited mobility. Tessa & her team photographed & recorded my wedding last weekend, and they were a dream to work with. I am chronically ill & so I knew on my wedding day I could not be running around to different locations for photos, and Tessa was extremely mindful of that fact & made sure to work within the parameters of what was doable for me. I was worried my limited mobility would mean my photos would be a little boring, but she's already sent a handful of pictures over for a sneak peek & they are GORGEOUS. Tessa is a true professional but also someone who clearly loves what she does, which I think really shows in the quality of her work. Could not be more glad to have had her & her team document my special day! :)

I can't recommend Endless Autumn Photography enough for wedding photography services. Kiera was a joy to work with from start to finish. Communication is so important when planning a wedding and she was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls, answering every question we had along the way. She has such a warm, friendly personality that put us instantly at ease on our big day. The photographs perfectly captured the love and joy we felt. Kiera has a true talent for composing romantic, artistic shots as well as fun candids. The collection as a whole tells the story of our wedding beautifully. When my dress needed to be bustled , Kiera jumped right in to help without hesitation. It's the little thoughtful touches like that which make her services such incredible value for money.

Leslie is the best! She radiates sweetness and so beautifully captured our big day. She genuinely listens in each meeting, and is so easy to talk to. The relationship that she creates is one that makes the wedding so enjoyable— and you get the vision you want because she remembers what you wanted! We wanted photos that were light, airy, and timeless— her touch is exactly that. I can’t stop posting the photos and choosing which ones to post has been hard because I love them all!! You will not regret choosing Leslie for your big day- you can feel the love and energy through the photos. She also offers incredible print options and we got our favorite photo in a stunning acrylic!! Overall, pictures are one of the biggest parts of a wedding and she delivered on every front. She created a schedule that was perfect for the flow of the wedding, she could get people where they needed to be, she captured moments that I missed during the day (and I love to look back on now), and of course all the important moments!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

Ben traveled the furthest he'd ever traveled for a wedding for us! He was incredibly friendly, kind, and fun to talk/work with. On our big day, Ben was relaxed and calm even when things seemed to get crazy, He listened to exactly what we wanted and found the best stops for pictures and our private vows.

Hi! I’m Jules. I like to think of myself as an artistic storyteller. I love capturing LOVE and have been a professional photographer for 12+ years (don’t let the baby face fool you). I want to know what makes you & your partner tick. Every couple is different & I love making your photos feel like YOU. (& for you to feel super hot, obv.) I would love to share full galleries with you and would be HONORED to create art with you on your dreamiest day! Storytelling is why I do this day in and day out. We don’t do boring over here ;)

Where do I even begin…. We cannot recommend Jules enough. She got herself all the way to New Hampshire/Vermont for us and not only did she take amazing photos but was totally up for hiking a mountain with us. She is so incredibly talented and so easy going. I have looked back at my photos so many times at this point just to feel the memories again. We are both so awkward and goofy, and she was able to transform that into some of the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen. She is the hardest worker and is so passionate about what she does. Do yourself a favor and book Jules for whatever the occasion might be! You will not regret it!

I truly found a love for storytelling once I got into weddings. Weddings are these multifaceted microcosms of stories and relationships that continue to keep me fascinated and excited about capturing them. I find that my style leans towards an editorial, documentary storytelling side, with hints of sophisticated moody & edgy. You feel the emotions of the moment when looking back on your photos I have captured just for you.

Jess took our HUGE family photo shoot and handled all of us with ease and made literally and truly photos to treasure. We did a family photo shoot for our parents 50th wedding anniversary October of 2023. Our first family photos in 17’ish years. She has such a particular eye for making a large group feel and look so close in photos (which is hard with 6 kids spouses and kiddos and our gramma who was 95 at the time (almost 96 now). She made each pose, move, placement fun and kept the kiddos (and pup) into it. She gave such professionalism and love into everything she did with us that day. She was as much a part of our family as anyone could be handling all of us un photogenic turkeys. If you choose anyone for your independent, business, family, engagement/wedding or otherwise photos you should definitely choose Jess 3

The contract was easy to read and understand. Questions I had were quickly answered. We are not "picture" people at all! However, Katy made me feel like a professional model and helped my anxiety by being calm herself. I suggest her for anyone looking for a go-with-the-flow photographer who can manage groups. Her style is classic/candid/photojournalistic and we LOVED them! The candids are some of my favorite :)

Hey there! My name is Maggie, and I am the Owner + Lead Photographer at Desert Luna Photography! I am 24 years old, and just had MY dream wedding myself! We had a small destination wedding in Arizona! I have taken photos with a camera since I was 10 years old - and have even won a few awards for one of my photos! I love the outdoors, chicken strips, being a plant momma, and creating magic through my lens! I am currently on year 5 of taking photos professionally, and on year 3 of being known as Desert Luna Photography!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for a photographer for engagement pictures, a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any other occasion - stop looking! My fiance and I were visiting friends in AZ shortly after our engagement and we booked Maggie for an engagement shoot at sunset while we were there. To say that we are are OBSESSED with our pictures is an understatement. Maggie was so knowledgeable about the lighting at that time of day and utilized the whole landscape to get great pictures with different backgrounds, not JUST different poses from us. We didn't stay in the same spot during the session as she continued to create new angles to adjust to as the sun continued to set. I felt comfortable asking "hey can we try this!?" and Maggie was more than willing to get excited with us about capturing the kind of picture we had in our mind. Maggie also gave us alot of direction on how to maybe tilt our head, or move a hand over a little bit, or recognized that the shot wasn't going to be great so she just scratched it and moved to the next idea. This was extra helpful to me because I didn't have to "guess how to model" and I appreciated that she made good use of her and our time. Maggie works quickly to get a variety of poses and landscapes, is willing to travel, and seems to genuinely love what she does. Her excitement and direction made it fun and exciting for us too! 10/10 for our experience with Maggie!

WES offers versatile packages & pricing; reach out and speak with Ashley about your needs.

Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios gave us something we couldn't find anywhere else. They were able to capture the totality of our destination wedding experience. On top of that Ashley and Rebecca were able to take the pressure off of couples portraits before the wedding by creating a unique, intimate, striking, outdoor day-after location shoot. This allowed us to enjoy the run up to our wedding with minimal disruptions and gave us a portrait shoot that exceeded our expectations. Having Wide Eyed Studios with us during our entire destination event helped us authentically capture all of the fun moments we had with our friends and family leading up to the wedding. They were able to capture so much more than I had expected, and we now have so much more to look back on with incredible photos. With all of the amazing imagery that was captured, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception got even more love. The comfort level that was already gained with Ashley having been integrated with the group upleveled all of the content that was captured on wedding day. We are so thankful for all of the moments that were captured. Overall, the entire experience with Ashely and Wide Eyed Studios was so meaningful to us. They felt more a part of our celebration than a vendor we hired to support it. We couldn't have asked for anything more and the pictures we received still make us shake our heads with disbelief. Thank you, Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios for making our destination wedding the best it could possibly be.
