I moved around a lot growing up and I can remember not always loving it. But now, truly grateful for how it's shaped me. My husband was the exact opposite. He had a hometown, graduated high school with childhood friends, knowing every street, and watching every change. I think that is part of the reason we were attracted to each other. One yearning for roots, and the other for branches. Finding them within each other. Finding in each other a home and an adventure. It is hard to remember who I was before him, and hard to imagine my life without him. When I think of him... I smile, I cry, I laugh. This is what makes me feel alive.

Burlap & Blossom LLC were absolutely amazing wedding photographers! From the moment we first spoke with Gabby, we knew we had found the perfect fit. Her communication style was amazing - she was so understanding, fun, and down to earth. Gabby went above and beyond on our wedding day, even offering to fix my dress when it ripped. She had such high energy and really helped ease any and all stress we were feeling. The quality of their work is beyond amazing, and we are so thankful to have her capture our special day. Gabby is truly a gem - she is so down to earth and great with communication, letting us know right away about any delays. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photography experience!

I’m Ashlee - owner of ap FILM & PHOTO and I’m so glad you found me! Based out of Cedar Rapids (born, raised and stayed) but I’m down to go anywhere our hearts desire. My photography style is joyous, candid and it looks moody and bright all at the same time. If that’s what you’re after - let’s get started!

Ashlee is the best to work with. I can’t wait to see the rest of my album, I’m already giddy with the sneak peak! She was absolutely everything I wanted in a photographer and more. My husband wasn’t wanting pictures, but during the wedding and afterwards, he was so grateful we had Ashlee capture it. Her style was what I was dreaming of, and if you’re worried about posing, she helps coach your poses. Our wedding was a fantastic day, and she’s one of the reasons it was.

Hey!! Congratulations and I'm so excited you're here! My name's Lissa (pronounced "Lyss-uh") and photographs are my jam! Also my jam? Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

I have been on this journey as a wedding photographer for over a decade. I have been taken to so many places that I would have never been to if it weren't for my wonderful clients.

The day of our wedding she did a great job coming up with a timeline to accommodate all of our family photos and making the day run smoothly. On top of that, she was EARLY with her sneak peak turnaround time and we got tons of photos! To top it all off, we got our final wedding gallery in less than one month. Wendy captured our wedding day in the most beautiful way and we will remember our day forever. Do not hesitate to make Wendy a part of your wedding day, she was the absolute best to work with!

Beautiful pictures, super professional. We had Chrissy photograph our COVID-safe mini wedding and she took some lovely romantic photos — hard to tell it was in my parents' backyard. She was really easy to work with throughout the process, always checking in. I also just love her photos — her unique aesthetic creates a fairytale feel. Looking forward to working with her again for the full wedding!

Beginning my journey in the world of filmmaking, I initially delved into the realms of music videos and commercials, honing my craft in storytelling and visual artistry. However, it was a serendipitous opportunity to work as a cameraman at a wedding that unveiled my true passion. Now, with 9 years under my belt and hundreds of weddings captured, my love for crafting heartfelt wedding photographs continues to grow, reaching couples across the nation.

George is honestly the best photographer we could’ve asked forbwe can’t stop talking about him to our friends! His photos have this amazing earthy, warm vibe, and he really knows how to capture the adventurous side of things. He’s not just talented, though, he’s super responsive and always willing to work with you. Seriously, if you’re thinking about hiring him, do it. You won’t regret it.

Christopher Ginn Photography

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris was great to work with start to finish! He did our engagement photos and then our wedding photos. My husband is not one who likes to smile normally for pictures, but Chris was able to always keep the mood fun and got smiles out of him! He communicated all information in a timely fashion and was always available when I had a question. He worked with my venue and the DJ to ensure all aspects of the wedding day were covered. The pictures turned out great and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day! Highly recommend!

My name is Abby, a Midwest based wedding + boudoir photographer who's really obsessed with her job. I've gotten to see how directly photos can impact people. As we grow up, we realize how priceless photos are and how quality pictures become prized possessions. It's a moment in time you can forever look back on. It's easy to take pictures, but it's hard to capture moments. I'll love making magic with you, because everyone has some magic in them that deserves to be celebrated.

Abby was the absolute best photographer for our wedding! She was organized, prepared, friendly, adorable, overall 10 out of 10! She did a great job directing the room which made the photos a piece of cake! Also, she went above and beyond and was helping me with my dress. Not to mention, the photos are STUNNING! My husband and I would highly recommend her! I’ll definitely use her for any of my upcoming photo needs!

The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture!

As newbies to the whole couple photography process, my husband and I were a bit nervous, but Will made the experience easy, fun, and inspiring for us! And most importantly, we loved how these photos turned out. The gallery they were delivered through was easy to use and share! Due to the COVID travel restrictions, many family and friends couldn’t join us. These photos helped capture the special moments and tell the story for us in a much more vivid way!

Calling all misfits, those deeply in love, the nerds, the don't give a flying f***, just authentically you! Behind the camera: I am cracking bad jokes & cramming myself into strange spaces to get the shot. Behind the editing screen: I am smiling, getting high off the emotion of the moment captured. No shame, it’s why I do what I do. I love love. But I guess that's why you are here right? My style: Authentic, timeless, classic & filmy nostalgia. I capture those in-between moments, the messy, the loud, the intimate & the joyful ugly cry. Then you can feel like vogue for every other moment to show the world the rockstars that you are.

Samantha did such an amazing job with our wedding photography. My wife hunted around for the perfect photographer for a few months, as the pictures were very important to her and she wanted to make sure she found the right person with the right style. From the first time we met Samantha in Detroit to do our engagement photos, we felt comfortable with her. She was professional, friendly, and helped us feel at ease during the process. Most importantly, she made it fun! She was an excellent communicator, flexible, and during our wedding, she did a truly amazing job of capturing all the most important moments. She did an excellent job helping us balance our time between everything and sneaking away for a short photo shoot, and made sure to capture us with all of our family, etc. The candid moments she captured were amazing. We shared the album Samantha sent us with our guests through our thank you cards, and we had a ton of people tell us the photos were amazing and asked who did our photos! We sent many people photos as gifts for Christmas this year. On top of all that, Samantha sent us this really sweet and very cool gift of a golden glass photo frame filled with pictures and an ornate wooden box filled with decorative moss with a slide-out plexiglass front with our names on it, and a matching usb drive with all of our photos. Our wedding was very woodsy, and the gift was very thoughtfully matching of the whole thing. Samantha, thank you for your time and energy in helping us make our wedding day so special, and for capturing it for us to remember for a lifetime. My wife and I absolutely recommend her to anyone with our highest regards. Take care!

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy.

I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and much of that was thanks to our incredible photographer, Silvia. From our first meeting, her calm demeanor and positive outlook put us at ease. Silvia has a unique ability to blend into the background, capturing candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love of the day. Her calm presence was a soothing force during the hustle and bustle, making us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. Every photo she took is a testament to her talent and passion for her work. Silvia didn’t just take pictures; she told our love story through her lens, and for that, we are forever grateful.

31 year old dog loving, anime watching, fun loving photographer here. Everyone is welcome with me. Sexual preference/orientation, race, religion... I am here for whoever needs me. I want all of my couples to feel safe and respected, to know that they can fully be themselves with nothing but love and acceptance on my end. Bring me all of the tattooed brides in black dresses, the whimsical fairy dress elopements, the dog people who have their babies sign their license, and people who want to *ehem* partake in the local CO offerings. Whatever brings you joy, I want to bring it to life in my photos.

If you are unsure who to book for your wedding, Makenzie should be your first choice. From our engagement shoot, to the wedding day itself Makenzie perfectly captured us as a couple and actually got great photos of us, neither one of us likes taking photos often. Our wedding would not have been the absolute dream that it was without the work of this wonderful woman. I am so grateful for what she has done for us, and I know she can do the same for many more happy couples, and I cannot wait to see the love she continues to capture throughout her career.

Andrew did our engagement photos and they were totally different from what other photogs we had considered were doing. The work he gave back to us felt special, personal, and artistic. Truly one of a kind—he’s even traveling to the Southwest for our wedding and we highly recommend his work!

We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

From start to finish, Sam provided a wonderful experience as our wedding photographer. He is very approachable, making us feel comfortable right away and like he really knew us as a couple. Communication leading up to our wedding was perfect, not too much, not too little.. it was just right. Then they day of, he was timely, quick, and just blended in with the entire event wonderfully. I received so many comments from my bridal party and guests on “what a fun guy he is!” And then the final product that was delivered was ahmazing! I still love looking at our photos that documented our special day.

  • Photojournalistic style

Hi!! I'm Jen, the heart and soul behind Jen Marie Imagery! I'm passionate about creating unforgettable memories through my lens. Beyond being a dedicated photographer, I'm a coffee lover, taco enthusiast, concert junkie, Netflix aficionado, and proud pet parent. My journey with photography started as a childhood passion, using up all my mom's film on disposable cameras. What began as a hobby transformed into my life's calling in 2016 when I booked my first wedding. From that moment, I knew I had found my true purpose. There’s nothing I love more than photographing love!

Jen is amazing. Book her right now, you won’t regret it. Seriously, do it. Both my husband and I were a bit camera shy and nervous about getting our professional photos done but from the moment we met her, Jen put us at ease. Not only did we feel comfortable taking photos with her, but I felt she really captured us, our joy, and our love for each other in all of the photos. After our wedding she sent us hundreds of photos, and every single one is a treasure that I can’t stop looking through. We’ve gotten so many compliments and many have said these are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. She’s so committed to you, she even stood in a down pour and slid down a wet hill to get the perfect first look photos. Book her, you will not regret it.

Diana is phenomenal--I had the hardest time planning my wedding due to many circumstances, but Diana made me feel at ease. She is easy to talk to and helps SO much along the way. She has an excellent eye for detail and is really excellent at capturing those moments you will cherish forever. It rained on my wedding day (not ideal) but Diana was out there in the rain ensuring she was able to still capture every memory. She is wonderful--patient, talented, kind--a true gem, and I am so thankful for her. I could not recommend her more!

Working with Kasey Fanton was an absolute dream. I dreaded finding a wedding photographer because I had such high expectations and Kasey met all of them. She was patient, creative, dedicated and attentive during the entire day of my wedding. It was a very hot day for my wedding and Kasey made sure my husband and I were given water, taking breaks and cooling off between photos. The sneak peaks were breathtaking and the final delivery of our gallery was perfect. The moments captured (even some I didn't see the day of!) and the moments becoming a bride was so beautifully captured by Kasey!

Priscilla has had the honor of capturing many beautiful weddings! From Orlando, Mount Dora, Daytona, Jacksonville, St. Augustine to California & Georgia. Every single wedding has allowed me to work with some amazing clients. Weddings allow me to tell a story through my work and that alone makes me smile when YOU trust me to be the eye behind the lens to capture those very important moments that can only be looked back at through photo/video. Once the "I DO's" are said, the champagne is poured, the cake is cut and you have danced the night away, memories and photos are all you will have to remember that very special day!

Priscilla was a pleasure to meet at one of the Weddings I was attending as a Wedding Planner. She was very informative with her directions, great with the bride and groom's family & friends, she captured every detail they wanted and her personality was one I love. She is a leader and you can tell she loves what she does. We spoke for a bit and I have recommended her to a few of the brides I work with and a few of them booked with her! They told me such great things after they met her and how excited they were for her to capture their special day. Amarie J. Photography comes highly recommended by me!
