Every moment is unique, every couple is unique. I get to capture my amazing couples and the moments that make them up in really stunning and interesting ways that tell their special story. I love what I do. I have this amazing profession of photographing moments and telling stories through the combined voice of my clients lives and my creative eye. But this is not about me. This is about you. This is about your story, your marriage and your amazing day, why it is unique to your personalities and where you are headed in life.

Everyone needs a Wayne! This is what we have told everyone over and over again when showing our beautiful wedding and engagement photos. We sincerely cannot wait for the next time we have an excuse to work with Wayne. From the very start of working with him, he had such a thoughtfulness that no else else had. Throughout the whole process he had sentimental touches like congratulatory gifts, personalized business cards for us to distribute with our photo on it, souvenirs from our wedding day, etc. Friends and family loved how he was present but never in the way or distracting, and we agree. The best advice we received was to find a photographer who you like being around because you spend the majority of your wedding day with them, and man they were right. Wayne's energy is exactly what you want - attentive, sharp and aware of his surroundings but cool and relaxed on a day that has it's stressful moments. Wayne does his research and comes fully prepared for ideal and creative shots. Even when everything was all wrapped up, Wayne spent hours of his time to personalize our wedding photo album with the patience of a saint. Simply the best <3

Shots by Mag (Maggie Morris)

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Rancho Santa Fe, CA for additional fees

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was fortunate enough to be surprised, on what would have been our wedding date (COVID...) this past September, 2020 by my fiancé & best friend. My surprise was an epic "however long you want/need" photoshoot with Maggie here in Washington DC. Maggie picked the perfect spot to go with my minimalist and greenery aesthetic preferences (without having ever met me btw..), all while making it super fun and relaxed. Maggie's communication was great, provided great recommendations on how to pose or engage with others in the shots and made us all feel beautiful! She had our photos to us within a few days, the editing was immaculate and I still use them to this day!

Courtney & Jackson are wedding, elopement & family photographers based in San Francisco, California but available for travel worldwide. We go wherever love takes you. Photoflood Studio is a wife + husband team from San Francisco, California. We are wedding photographers servicing NorCal to SoCal and beyond. Photoflood Studio specializes in wedding, engagement, and family photography. We aim to photograph life + love through an honest documentary approach. Our wedding, engagement and family photography is inspired by the beautiful wilderness, the culture of our coastal cities, and wherever you call home.

We hired Photoflood studio for our wedding in Napa. Wedding planning is naturally very stressful, as there are a lot of moving parts, but Courtney made this particular part of the wedding run very smoothly. She brought out the best of us in our photographs by being very personable, understanding, and chipper when we needed it. Looking back at our photos over a year later, I'm very happy with our decision to hire her. They captured the day beautifully and gave a sense of warmth. Courtney was easy to work with and she and Jackson made us very comfortable in front of the camera!

Hey there, I’m Emily! From intimate to grand weddings, elopements, and all the moments in between, I’m excited to document your marriage journey. I balance the timeless style that you’ll love for years to come, with the artistic eye to capture all the moments in between. I’m there to help guide you to allow your authentic self to shine on camera. I’m based in Buffalo, NY, but so excited to adventure with you wherever your love story takes you. I can’t wait to hear your story!

Awarded Best of Zola
Emily and I have worked together on a number of occasions, and I have always had so much fun and learned a ton! While there are tons of great photographers out there (and Emily certainly stands out as a top-tier photographer), the thing that makes her so incredible is how she is on the day. She has the ability to predict what you need before you need it, keep everything running smoothly, and make the day about you. I remember the first time we worked together, my shoes were giving me blisters so she just pulled out these tiny high-heel bandaids that IMMEDIATELY took all the pressure off and let me work efficiently for the rest of the night! Emily is there when you need her, and in the shadows when you don't. She is professional, kind, and courteous. Ultimately, you really just don't find many other photographers like her. If you're on the fence about it, just hop on a call with her. You'll see for yourself :P

My heart beats for photographing a story worth telling, and finding the funny, quirky, moving little moments throughout that narrative.

Far Out Feeling 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Rancho Santa Fe, CA for additional fees

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We had a terrific experience working with Meaghan and Brendon of “Far Out Feeling.” If you’ve made it this far, you already love their style – their ability to capture both candid and staged photos artfully – and we are happy to report that the photographers have personalities to match. We loved meeting them for drinks months in advance of our wedding, which gave us a nice context for one another when the day finally came (we cannot imagine, now, not knowing our wedding photographers when they arrived to take pictures of us!) We perhaps didn’t consider how crucial this feeling of comfort was, but when you think about, you do spend a tremendous portion of your wedding day with your photographers. Meaghan and Brendon felt like friends, which made even the parts of the wedding that we don’t like (posing!) feel easy, natural, and fun. Meaghan and Brendon were incredibly responsive, from first to last. They always got back to us the day we had a question, and even weeks after our wedding, they were responding to our technical difficulties within minutes. And the photos themselves turned out great! Again, you’ve probably seen evidence of this already. We cannot wait to print them, frame them, and, in all likelihood, post them relentlessly to our Instagram stories. A huge thank you to Meaghan and Brendon, who we recommend whole-heartedly.

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

Seriously where to begin with how incredible Marla is as an incredible and artistic photographer, professional and organized business owner, and welcoming and beautiful person. She immediately makes you feel comfortable talking with her and she puts a ton of effort into getting to know you and your story. She cares so deeply about her couples and goes above and beyond with client experience before, during, and after your session with her. You spend a ton of time with your photographer, and this is who you want as your cheerleader, your confidant, and your friend on wedding/elopement day. Her eye for light is inspiring and you never again will say "I'm so awkward in front of the camera" because her posing is effortless and genuine. She brings out the best in you and your partner and your connection. Candid moments, deep emotion, and joyful forever memories! Marla is the photographer you've been looking for!

Diana and Korey Photo and Film

  • Classic style

  • Serves Rancho Santa Fe, CA for additional fees

As many millennials do, we met on one of those phone dating apps (eh hem.. Tinder..) and had an instant connection! It didn't take long for Korey to make things "official" and asked Diana if she would be his girlfriend. Of course she said 'yes!' and it was a whirlwind after that. We adopted an adorable blue nose pittie, moved in together, and started a business! Now here we are, 6 years later - chasing our dreams and building a career together as a MARRIED COUPLE!! (and we also have another pup!).

One of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process! Communication with Diana and Korey was smooth from the get go. Just take a look at their beautifully organized website and gallery and you'll understand what I mean! (It's also a great place to start looking for venue inspo!) Time tables with when and what things should happen are reviewed at a scheduled check in time. And the attention to detail they dedicate to your vision/pinterest board is a true sigh of relief for any bride in the wedding planning process! Josh and I are also certified introverts so it's hard for us to feel at ease in front of a camera. But each and every member of their team was so personable that it was easy for each smile and laugh to be genuine. Of course it also helped that Diana always had a pose idea ready to try! During our sweltering July wedding, despite 95 degree weather, Diana and her team sweated alongside us and continued to show enthusiasm for getting that next shot at that next backdrop to make sure every moment was captured. AND she had so many preview photos ready a mere TWO DAYS after the wedding. Herculean feat truly All our friends cannot stop complimenting the wedding album as they said Diana and Korey truly encapsulated our day and helped them relive it once more. I am so thankful that we have these memories memorialized through them and can't recommend this magical team enough!

Emily was an absolute sweetheart from the moment she arrived, and insisted the special occasion called for her professional camera. Her generosity and professionalism meant everything to me on such a special day. I received hundreds of photos, both iPhone and DSLR shots, within 2 days. Emily totally exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Thank you SO much!

Hey there! I'm Lindley Wilson! It's been a huge dream of mine to become a photographer, and a dream I put off for a very long time. So one day a handful of years ago I decided to go for it, bought myself a camera, and haven't looked back since! I am an Indianapolis based wedding photographer who absolutely loves capturing and getting to be a part of so many beautiful and exciting moments in the lives of others.

Imagery by Lindley stepped in & saved the day for my wedding photography! My 2020 wedding was falling apart in the midst of the pandemic & i was left without a photographer a week before the ceremony. Lindley happened to be available for my date. She showed up & was such a calming presence, so easy to work with, so comfortable to be in front of the camera for. She documented the day so beautiful & so perfectly & had a preview for me that same night! She’s become a great friend out of it & I couldn’t be more thankful. Stunning work that I couldn’t recommend more.

There are many reasons couples choose not to have a “traditional” wedding, and the beauty is that you can make it anything you want it to be – and that’s also why I care so deeply about making sure every couple I work with knows that their day is important, beautiful, and deserves to be captured so you can look back on every detail.

We're Zach & Kirstin Beazer! Zach has been shooting weddings professionally since 2016 and before that worked in live music and portrait photography. Kirstin joined in about two years ago, and has quickly become just as skilled in weddings. We have shot over 200 weddings and enjoy every minute of every one. We love to get to know our couples to ensure we add that personal touch to weddings, rather than just capturing the generic shots. We strive to focus on your wants and needs to create your dream gallery on such an important day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We initially hired Zach Beazer to take our engagement photos. We loved the photos and our interaction with him so much, that we hired him to be our wedding photographer. Then, we hired him again to two more times for photo shoots. We love every single photo that we receive from Zach. We can see the intentionality, thoughtfulness, and professionalism in every photo. We have printed out, framed, and hung on our walls many of the photos he has taken of us. It's clear that Zach takes his photography seriously, and he also takes his relationships seriously. Every time we see him, he'll ask about things that we shared with him from the previous photo shoot. We feel very comfortable around him as he has become both a photographer and friend to us. If you are looking for a very professional photographer who is also friendly and fun, Zach Beazer is the photographer for you. If you are more shy and aren't very creative when it comes to poses, Zach Beazer is the photographer for you! He has both fun and practical ways of getting certain facial expressions and poses out of you without making you feel uncomfortable. If you want a photographer who doesn't stick out like a sore thumb at your events, Zach Beazer is the photographer for you. There are so many of our wedding photos that impressed me and my wife and that made us go, "How did Zach get that shot? I didn't even notice him there!" If you want both quality and cost-effectiveness, Zach Beazer is the photographer for you. I've had so many conversations with couples who either regretted paying too much for a photographer that didn't even take good photos or regretted not paying more for a good photographer. With Zach, I was so happy we got such great photos at a reasonable cost. Overall, Zach Beazer is your ideal photographer. He'll be our photographer for life! We are so thankful to God to have blessed us with Zach in our lives as our photographer and friend!

I specialize in documenting weddings! I believe in images that are timeless, true to color, with a touch of moodiness and emotion. Photography is one of the biggest and most important investments you’ll make for your wedding day. Wedding photography isn’t just a financial investment. You’re also investing in a photographer who values and builds that relationship from the start, from planning a custom timeline with you, to going over all the details every step of the way leading up to the wedding day. I want my couples to be as involved in the creative process as I am. It’s all about the experience!

Chamblee and her husband John shot our wedding on 9/1/2019, and let me tell you, we were blown away!! Chamblee was easy to communicate with and always listened to my (sometimes neurotic) concerns and need for affirmation about detail and planning the shots. She is kind, thoughtful, and has incredible vision for capturing your special day. We got our photos back in a timely manner and they were even more beautiful than we could have imagined. Hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. Chamblee has even taken family photos for us, because lets face it, we would never be able to find someone more talented than her! You will not be disappointed if you hire her!

If I were to do it all over again, I would have Tyler by my side to document my momentous day!

Hiring Sydney was the best decision we ever made. I was a little nervous not meeting with her before our wedding, but Sydney reassured me and laid everything out perfectly in her questionnaire. She has an amazing eye for detail and kept us on track with our timeline. Sydney has been photographing weddings for years, and it really shows. She made us feel comfortable during both our engagement session and our wedding day. If you’re looking to book Sydney don’t even think twice, and add an engagement session!! It makes a world of difference and you feel so much more comfortable for your wedding. Thank you Sydney!!

Your hubby-wife photography team from Salt Lake City, Utah, capturing love stories worldwide. Why are we so obsessed with capturing your moments of love and life? Because you’re about to begin a whole new, wild adventure together and your photos will serve as a tangible keepsake for the rest of your lives. This is your story, this is your legacy - and to be given the opportunity to be a part of your memorable journey is something we don’t take for granted.

I met Haley and Camden through a friend who had also booked them for their wedding. We booked them for both engagement photos and wedding photos and we could not be more happy with their services. Having a married couple team as photographers was everything, as they made us feel super comfortable and they were able to direct us throughout the sessions in a way that I think a solo photographer would not be able to do. They went above and beyond and I’m so happy we chose them!

Welcome to JFP, where passion meets precision. As a dedicated photographer by heart and an aerospace engineer by profession, I bring a unique perspective to capturing your most cherished moments. My goal is to create a seamless, luxurious experience for every couple, ensuring your wedding day flows effortlessly. I understand that your wedding is one of the most significant days of your life, and I’m committed to making it memorable. With an eye for detail and a knack for storytelling, I specialize in delivering a blend of documentary style images and classic portraits that reflect your unique love story.

Where do I even begin with this review?! Jennifer has been an absolute gift to work with throughout our wedding planning process, and now that we just go our sneak peeks back, we know we made the right choice with her! We did not use Jennifer for our engagement pictures, so I knew I was taking a risk when hiring her as our wedding day photographer. I was confident with what I saw on social media and our email correspondence ensured me that she would make a great fit for us. She was communicative along the entire way and was intentional when asking for our shot list. On the day of, it was very clear that she was very purposeful in capturing all of my preferred shots and made a dedicated effort to be present for each moment of the day. Jennifer was very professional and both her and her second shooter, Alex, found fun and creative ways to capture unique imagery from our ceremony and reception. She was attentive to our needs as a couple, made lots of great photo recommendations, and did not push us to do any pictures/poses we weren't into. Jennifer knew we wanted to be a part of cocktail hour and was happy to accommodate all of our formal pictures before the ceremony. She was discreet during the ceremony and captured lots of wonderful group shots at the reception. A week before the event she was happy to add on a few additional hours from our original contract. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

I am Marissa, a photographer, mom, and wife. When I am not behind the camera you can find me venturing around Chicago or the country with my family. We love adventures and I love a delicious plate of nachos… snickers and a fizzy water I AM SURE YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I DO WHAT I DO AND HOW I DO IT… I have always had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember… I mean even one of my daughter is named after a camera and the other is named after light.. I bet you can’t guess what their names are. I absolutely love being there to capture all moments in life… especially weddings.

Marissa was so helpful in helping us determine what packages would be most helpful for us based on our wants and the day of the wedding, she was helpful and professional. The pictures she took were amazing and better than we could have imagined! We've had her since take other headshots and couples photos. We trust her with our photographic memories!

We originally hadn’t planned on having anyone do videography, but since so many that we loved couldn’t be at our wedding due to COVID-19 restrictions we wanted to have a video to share with them. I’m so glad we did! Laura worked with our last minute wedding plan changes and the video is above and beyond what I ever could have imagined! Not only was it an amazing video to share with friends and family, but it’s something I will treasure forever as I look back on that day. Thanks so much, Laura!

Hi! My name is Nikholas, I am a wedding and special event photographer based in Arizona. My photography journey started about 8 years ago when I got my first camera as a gift, slowly evolving from a hobby into a passion that I pursue every day. Throughout my journey, I've always felt most drawn to working with people and documenting their emotions. We all live very unique and special lives and being able to capture and share those moments that are so real, so full of pure feeling is...amazing. The best photos are felt, not seen.

After a few shoots with Nicholas, I realized he is incredibly talented at photography, his skill is unmatched. Every photo he takes captures the essence of the moment perfectly. Whenever I see photos that he took of me with my fiancé from over a year ago, I cannot help but relive those joyous moments in time. Somehow he encapsulates all the warmth and emotions in the pictures. 100% satisfied with Nicholas and plan to continue working with him in the future!

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Heather was incredible. She was professional, meticulous, and was extremely easy to work with. She sent us a mood board with colors and tones we love, and we felt totally prepared for pics. With kids, photos can always be stressful. Heather brought a speaker with songs and the kids had such a great time. She took her time with poses and let the kids run and play and got amazing candid shots of us. We were thrilled with the final shots and we absolutely would recommend her to friends and family!! Heather was amazing to work with and we know you would be more than happy with the final shots! Thank you Heather!!!

Born and raised in Maine, I dream of one day retiring there by the sea, like a real life Miss Rumphius. But until then, I live just outside of Boston with my husband and our three cats. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, but we waited more than a decade before saying our own vows. Sometimes (okay, often) I eat cake for breakfast, so you can always count on me to help taste test yours. If I'm not photographing people in love, I'm probably enjoying a glass (bottle) of champagne on the couch or planning my next adventure. I believe everything is better by the ocean and you should never wait to explore the world.

As a wedding planner, I work with a lot of photographers, and Kendra remains one of my all-time favorites to know and work with. She is organized and professional, puts all of her couples at ease, and above all else, her work is stunning. The way she captures color, emotion, and details - plus all of the candid moments - is so special and can be hard to come by! I recommend Kendra to all of my couples, and everyone that knows her feels an immediate connection. She's one of those people that feels like an old friend right away, and is so good at making everyone around her feel comfortable and supported. I'd highly recommend hiring Kendra as your wedding photographer!

Athena photographed our wedding for us and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Every aspect of the entire experience, from planning and booking all the way through the wedding and receiving our photo album -- everything was above and beyond our expectations. Athena is super professional but also extremely friendly and personable. She made us feel comfortable in front of the lens, and gave us all the right cues to get amazing photos. She walked us through what to expect from start to finish, helped us plan ahead to get exactly the photos we wanted, and coordinated with us on the day of the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly. We honestly could not have asked for more, and we are forever grateful to Athena for everything she did for us. We are hoping to convert Athena to a family photographer as well -- we would love to continue to have her shoot important life moments for us through the years. That's how much we loved working with her!
