Hevesi Journal

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Ruidoso Downs, NM for additional fees

Welcome to our creative world! We are David and Katie, a photo and video dynamic duo from the peach state. But, we are more than just visual storytellers. We want to get to know you and build a friendship that extends beyond our lens. Our goal is to capture genuine memories that you'll cherish for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
I looked through several different groups when attempting to find the best photographer for our wedding and Hevesi Journal made it easy to choose them. We mainly interacted with Katie, who was professional and calming and funny throughout every encounter. We did our engagement photos with her as well as our wedding photos and both sets turned out better than I could have imagined. Getting photographs that really showed the essence of us as a couple was one of the more important things we had hoped for when planning the wedding and this goal was certainly achieved. For our engagement photos, Katie followed us up a mountain and during the wedding she made sure that all of our desired groupings (for example, my father and his siblings) were captured with ease. I would 100% use their services again and if I have anything that needs documenting in the future will not be hesitating to reach out.

Capturing weddings since 2017, Sam is passionate about creating images that showcase the real you. Your wedding is an incredibly important event & you deserve to work with vendors you not only get along with, but trust completely & enjoy spending time with!

I first met Sam when she was doing Videography at a wedding, that for lack of better words, was chaotic at best. She was the easiest person to communicate with, friendly, kind, and considerate. She made my job as DJ/MC a lot easier. Since that wedding I have ran into her on many occasions and have formed a great respect for the quality of her service. I highly recommend.

  • Serves Ruidoso Downs, NM for additional fees

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 contacted Brandon just a few weeks before my elopement as I really liked his style of photography. I didn’t want to spend 1,000s for good photos but I appreciate the art of photography, so I wasn’t sure who to book. He responded right away and gave me a price that was incredibly reasonable! He was early to the event and captured more than I hoped. He even brought a few props I didn’t expect, but made for cool photos. I am so happy with the results, they’re beautiful!

LT² Photography did a great job at our wedding. LaDonna truly went above and beyond to make sure that we have beautiful memories of our day. I’m so grateful that she encouraged us to get prints and wall art for keepsakes and decor in our home. Since we put our picture on the wall our dining has never looked or felt better. It just feels more like us now. She communicates so well and helped us stay organized and even sent us a budget calculator to help us manage our wedding finances- we didn’t even know we needed a budget tool until we started using it. I wish we hadn’t opted out of their videography service, but she gave us a highlight video anyway! I can’t say enough good things - my husband and I are just so impressed and glad we chose to work with LT2 Photography for our wedding.

Ashlyn and Brandon were lovely to work with for our wedding photos. We had an engagement session with them a few weeks before the wedding and Ashlyn was extremely helpful with posings and different locations, especially since my partner and I are not very good at figuring that stuff out. At the wedding she and Brandon were both very good at corralling family members and ensuring that we got all of the shots we wanted as well as some we didn't know we wanted. We got a first look at some select photos about 2 weeks after the wedding and had all of our photos about a month later.

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

My first wedding day to capture was two years after I had started freelancing; a day I will never forget, Valentine's Day, 2014, in Hot Springs, AR. Little did I know how my focus would shift from that day forward. In the past seven years since then, I am honored to have captured more than three-dozen weddings. It never fails that each of those days are full of such unique beauty and character, but most importantly, they are full of loving memories of a lifetime.

I have worked with Jackie many times, but our wedding is one of my favorites. She is so easy to work with, she was so much more than a photographer and helped me throughout the day and was still able to catch THE moments. Our pictures were perfect.

Light and bright, timeless photographs and videos for weddings and couples. ND, New England & CA based, available for travel. I describe myself as kind of Type A, kind of Type B. When it comes to photographing your wedding, I take a mixed approach of being a "fly on the wall" and guiding when appropriate. Lots of times my couples see their galleries and noticed things they had no clue even happened during the day. Candids and true documentary style photographs are what I strive to provide, as well as traditional photographs and poses.

Mariah was absolutely perfect as our wedding photographer. She stepped in less than 3 months before our wedding because our other photographer fell through. She was amazing to work with and made us the priority even after our wedding when she was getting our photos ready. She and Doug were so nice and we had so much fun with them. We will definitely be using her again in the future. I would highly recommend her for wedding photography. Her style was exactly what we were looking for and she executed it perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

Hey, how cool of you to give me a few minutes of your time. I am not here to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your story in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Erika and Loy are not only super creative, but they make wedding days fun. They create moments for couples that they remember forever, and it makes for outstanding video clips. Erika and Loy go above and beyond to bring out the best in every couple, from their fun playful side to their passion and love for each other. They have an eye for incredible shots and are always happy to work together to make it happen. They also capture those candid moments without interruption. I highly recommend Erika and Loy every time!

Well, I guess first would be to say, Hello! I’m Kirstin but most people call me Kirstie! I’m a photographer based in Colorado Springs, Colorado but will travel to wherever my clients need me to go. I’m married to my best friend; I am a mother to my beautiful baby boy named Bjorn. My passion is photographing adventurous elopements and intimate weddings! I adore capturing those real time moments and freezing that moment in time for my clients to cherish for generations to follow.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kirstie has done a couples session, a (surprise!) engagement session and my wedding! With each time she was our photographer, she was better and better each time. She is a warm and amazing person and it shows through her work. She takes the time to get to know the couples and families she is photographing because she wants the essence of who they are to come through in their pictures. Family is important to her and she knows how important it is to capture the important moments but also the unexpected ones. My favorite pictures from her are always the pictures in between moments where I’m gazing at my husband or we’re laughing at us falling over each other. She knows how to make each moment shine. Kirstie is the best photographer I’ve ever worked with and would recommend her to anyone who asks.

Welcome to your Happlandic! Born in Colorado and currently located in DFW, Texas, I help my couples find the best spots to bring their wedding day vision to life. Images are once-in-a-lifetime moments. When all is said and done they are the only way to look back and relive out best memories.

Working with Hannah is pure joy. She photographed our wedding and we could not of been more pleased. Her ability to capture the feeling in a photograph is uncanny in the best way. When you look at the photos you can feel all of the emotions of the moment again. And you don't even recall her being there. I have been photographed a lot and to be honest I am not a fan . But Hannah changed that for me. Her ability to listen to your vision and then execute on it is unlike anything I have seen in her profession. I have recommended her to many friends and family members and no ones pictures look alike. She captures the essence of the moment and the people.

I'm not here for insta-worthy moments. I'm going to capture the wind in your hair and sand on your feet. I will photograph you dancing in the pouring rain and laughing at the cake you just smashed in your partner's face. Life is messy and beautiful, joyful and sentimental. I don't believe in perfection, but I do believe in perfect for you.

Anton and Natalie were absolutely amazing to work with! I was stuck on making a wedding timeline and they took right over and sent me one to get me started! Communication leading up to the big day was frequent and helpful. On the big day, Natalie went above and beyond, holding my train, holding my drink, and stepping in and buttoning my dress when my mother wasn't able. I will forever be grateful for all of the extra things she helped with that day. The photos were excellent and had their artistic touch that makes them unique and standout photographers. They definitely have a long and successful career ahead of them.

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was sooo easy to work with. Her visions aligned with mine, she was efficient and so sweet. I truly trusted her with everything in me and she did not disappoint! She traveled across the country for us and was a 10/10 human being and professional photographer. You need her!!

Hi I’m Kari! I am an elopement and wedding photographer based in Texas but I am available to travel!!! Love has so much beauty and comes in so many forms which is why I love capturing it so much. Its never the same and everyone has their own love story. Telling that story is what I was meant for. Capturing the details, the raw moments, the beautiful imperfect moments, the moments that are filled with so much emotion and the moments you don’t get to see is what I was made for.

We were thrilled with KLayne Photography for our wedding photos! Klayne was extremely prompt and responsive in all of our communications leading up to the big day, and really took the time to understand our vision and priorities. On the wedding day itself, Kari was a huge help posing us and creatively capturing so many special moments. The number of photos delivered was well above average, and each one was thoughtfully edited and beautifully composed. Kari clearly poured a lot of care and effort into documenting our wedding journey. We'd enthusiastically recommend her services to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated wedding photographer who will capture your special moments with an artistic eye and thoughtful touch.

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

Jessica is a joy to have a part of any wedding! Her work is beautiful and she captures the love and emotions of her couples' biggest day. From the beginning of the planning process, until the photos arrive in your inbox, she always puts the couples' needs and wants as her priority. Her organization, professionalism, and calming composure are exactly what couples need out of their photographer!

Every person has their own beauty and truth. I see it, understand it, then reveal it through my portraits. I search for the play of light and shadow to carve the image and tell the story of the day... your day... Your story.

SeaInk is our favorite photographer to work with! Hash is amazingly talented, and we always are eager for a photo gallery from a wedding with him. He is sure to capture all of the floral details that can sometimes be overlooked, and is so valuable for us, as florists to have. The experience in advance of working with him is also seamless. As a vendor, we are happy to see their photo timeline in advance of the day, and when working a styled shoot with him, the moodboards are dreamy, and executed exactly as we hoped for! The most valuable thing to see, is the true-to-life tones in the final imagery that are edited in an elevated way -- our favorite wedding photos are always from SeaInk.
