Hey there! Welcome! My name is Taylor- I am so glad you’re here! I am a documentary photographer based in the West Coast. I LIVE for capturing your love! You and your love story are anything but typical, and I strive to document that in the most candid and authentic way. My style is candid, documentary with a sprinkle of editorial.

Taylor hopped on to shoot our wedding the night before after our photographer unexpectedly couldn’t make it - and boy are we lucky that she did! Her photos are beautiful, her attention to detail (I love me some detail shots!) was wonderful, and her kindness made the awkwardness of posing for pictures feel natural! She edited super quickly, was very responsive afterwards, and provided us with several sneak peaks the very next day. My husband and I are thrilled to see the finished product, we are so grateful to have worked with such a kind and flexible photographer who quite literally saved us at the last minute!

Hey there! I’m Chris, and I’m stoked to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to help make your day everything you’ve dreamed of. I'll even bring some dog treats. You can count on me to keep things stress-free—no “photographer attitude” here. If the timeline gets off track, I’ll help get it back on schedule so you can enjoy your meal. Based in Boston, I love traveling for weddings, especially intimate gatherings of 100-150 guests. I’m a huge fan of venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Capturing vibrant, cinematic images is my passion, and I focus on true-to-life editing—no overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Chris to capture our special day. However, it goes beyond just that singular day. We had first met with Chris in person for a meet and greet, which I would have never thought to play such an integral role in the process. He demonstrated so much passion for the trade and was already so invested in making sure he was exactly the photographer we were looking for so we could truly get the most out of our day. He also took the time to visit the venue after our meeting to get an idea of what he'd be working with. Chris went above and beyond, every step of the way. He even made it a point to come during the rehearsal as well to be even further prepared. Everything flowed organically with his direction which took away so much stress from the day. Professionalism aside, Chris is just a good dude all around. We're so happy to come away from this experience with not only an amazing portfolio of memories, but a passionate and charismatic friend.

I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Adrian Etheridge Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Rochester, NY for additional fees

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!

As a natural light photographer, I have a deep love for capturing the most beautiful moments that life presents. My passion lies in preserving these precious memories through my lens. I strive to showcase the magic and authenticity found in everyday moments. Through my photography, I aim to create images that inspire and evoke emotions in those who view them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lisa was hands down one of my top vendors for my September 2024 wedding. Ultimately when booking vendors we had two non- negotiables- affordability and character. I met with several photographers before her and either their pricing was not within our range or I didn’t feel any “connection” with them. When I met Lisa over FaceTime I was in Target with my two toddlers because I had my schedule mixed up. She laughed about it and we were able to have a productive meeting despite the mix up. I hired Lisa not long after and I am so glad I did. Besides from being a phenomenal photographer, her personality is what put the cherry on top. She is detail oriented and assertive - like myself- and had a very efficient way of photographing our bridal party where we were even able to enjoy our cocktail hour without having a first look. She was excellent and extremely patient with our two kids. Our family loved her as did we! We were even able to get her out on the dance floor for a bit! We wish we didn’t live so far away otherwise we would be using her as our photographer a whole lot. Thank you Lisa for being such an important part of our day and for having such an incredible heart.

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Momo for our Chinese-Bengali fusion wedding celebration in lower east side of Manhattan in mid June 2024. We had a very small venue with 10 family members and 30 closest and dearest friends of ours for an intimate gathering. Momo’s camera closely followed and captured the unfolding of the event and the subtlest facial expressions of our family, guests and myself throughout the night. I got to know about her work from Red (Chinese Reddit) before entrusting her for one of the most important events of my life, but was still caught exhilarated by her work product on our event — her passion about photography and deep expertise in its technicality shined through the over 200-photo-well-woven storyline. Besides her exceptional work and high professionalism throughout our pre-and-during event communication, I appreciated her confident and genuine approach which I found down-to-earth, super helpful and reassuring — she really put in the work to understand you and amplify your shining traits. It’s such a pleasant and unforgettable experience to work with Momo. I would highly recommend her for any couples who are looking for wedding photographers.

Hi! I’m Gabriela, but you can call me Gaby! I’ve been a photographer and storyteller for more than seven years. It’s something I’ve always been passionate about… Creating Art. I know love, I know how deep it is and I can see the undeniable connection between two people. I’ve always believed we all should love WITHOUT FEAR. I want my photography to be a storytelling, natural, authentic, and timeless piece of art that reflects what’s truly there. To make love transcend the screen and make people feel it, because… Love has NO BOUNDARIES.

Finding the right wedding photographer was incredibly important to us. We needed someone whose style and art matched our vision. Thankfully we found Gabriela. As soon as we saw her work and explored her page we knew she was a perfect fit. With our wedding being a destination wedding, communication was no issue. She made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. On our wedding day Gaby was amazing!! She blended into the background capturing all the special moments without us even noticing. I'm so glad we were able to enjoy our day without having to think of photos we needed since Gaby was able to capture every smile, hugs and intimate moments. After the wedding Gaby was so quick with delivering sneak peek photos and even quicker with the finished gallery. Each picture brings us back to that day, and we can feel the emotions all over again. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabriela for your special day. Thank you so much for giving us such wonderful memories to last us forever.

Max was an absolute trooper and was great to work with. We were running behind from the start but he was great about giving directions, making suggestions, and getting what we could within such a tight schedule. Max was flexible and easy to work with. He was able to get some amazing shots even though we had to change the location of our first look (twice!). If we asked "Can we....?" The answer was always Yes. He made it happen. He was fully committed to giving us his best from the time he got to the venue.

We are so incredibly grateful to have had LittleButFierce for our wedding day! Kristen is professional, confident and skilled.

We got some serious rain on our day and thought photos would be tricky but Kristen was prepared with umbrellas and positive vibes, we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We knew we wanted LittleButFierce for the extraordinary eye for nature but the results were truly above and beyond

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always so happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry or 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 did a fantastic job of even 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.

Welcome! And Congratulations! I am a Wedding & Family Photographer based in Plattsburgh, NY. I grew up in Charlotte, VT where I fell in love with Lake Champlain and all the beauty that Vermont has to offer. I now live in Rouses Point, NY and continue to be drawn by Lake Champlain and its charm. When I am not behind the camera capturing the authenticity of my clients moments I am spending quality time with my husband, his two beautiful children and our two dogs. We spend our summers on Lake Champlain and our winters inside the hockey rink. My love of photography started the moment I held my first camera. I hope to share that passion with you!

From our first phone call with Kyla, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Kyla's communication style was fantastic - she was responsive via phone, text, email, and even met with us in person to discuss our vision. The photos she captured on our wedding day turned out absolutely stunning! Kyla went above and beyond, taking all the family pictures we wanted and choosing a beautiful spot for our wedding party photos. She is reliable, easy to work with, and thoroughly answered any questions we had. The quality of her work is truly amazing - she clearly takes the time to hand-pick the best photos for our album. We cannot recommend Kyla Williamson Photography highly enough for any of your photography needs!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Heather and her team are absolutely FANTASTIC! We hired her for our engagement photos and wedding and we are so happy! She is so organized, excellent at keeping everyone moving, and her photography and editing is incredible. She creates shots that I never could have imagined and directs tiny details while also allowing for candid moments. She was with us all day for our wedding and always was ready to capture us or people around us. When she walks into a room you can see her mind working to scope out the perfect spot and it is so incredible to watch. She is truly an artist and made us feel so special and comfortable on our wedding day and engagement photoshoot. We felt like we were in a magazine the way she edits the photos and captures everything. Highly recommend and will book her again for all of our big moments!

I booked Alisa Sue Photography before I even secured my venue if that tells you anything about how confident I was that I loved her photography style and vision. I was so happy to get to meet her and her husband, Wayne, on our wedding day. She was the best hypewoman and made me feel beautiful and confident in all our pictures! It also felt so natural posing for pictures with her guidance. She and Wayne were such a dream team. I also hired Snap Pic Photo Booth (owned by them as well) and we loved our backdrop and the props and the print template design! ALSO, she literally turned around some edits so fast. Literally lunchtime the day after our wedding, she had already posted a handful of edited photos from our wedding to her Instagram. How amazing is she!!!

Based in Jersey City, I've been photographing weddings since 2010. I have two degrees in photography and wouldn't change a moment of what I do or how I got here. I spent 5 years producing celebrity photo shoots for magazines like Time Out and InStyle, so keeping cool under fast-paced pressure is kind of my thing. I'm always trying to push the envelope with what I do, whether that's finding a way to make better photos or optimize your experience with me.

I honestly don’t have enough words to thank Lauren and her team for her beautiful photography. Booking her was by far the best investment we made for our wedding day—Lauren is worth the splurge no matter your budget. We wanted to curate a very specific vibe for our wedding, and Lauren understood it immediately. That’s because she has the innate ability to capture moments that no one else even sees. She is a people person through and through, and you can tell in the way her pictures come out. What could be a stagnant portrait, Lauren can turn into a stunning piece of art that evokes not just a specific vibe and mood but also emotion. Also as someone who has some insecurities about being photographed, I was blown away by how beautiful I looked in her photos. I’m incredibly grateful for her eye and dedication to making those beautiful photos. Not only that, but being around Lauren is a joy. She is so good at making sure everyone is comfortable enough to be photographed—and even includes a complimentary engagement shoot to get familiar with her before the big day (which is also so thoughtful and smart!). We had a few wedding challenges (a gigantic bridal party with 16! bridesmaids! and in-laws who were meeting for the first time at the wedding to start with!), and Lauren made sure she knew what she was walking into beforehand to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible on the day of. And it really really did. As a queer wedding with two brides, it was also really important to both of us to feel like superstars on our special day, and Lauren delivered that in spades. When we told her we wanted to have two aisles and walk down simultaneously, she was more than game for the challenge—she was excited. Finally, beyond her delightful personality, thoughtfulness, and extreme talent—Lauren is responsible for the success of our wedding. She sent us a list of recommended vendors, and we went with most of them. It was such a relief to have vendors pre-vetted by someone who had worked with them multiple times, and each one turned out to be just as good as she said they were. If you are looking for a photographer to capture your wedding, you will not be disappointed with Lauren!
