Photography by Melissa Kelly

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves S Lake Tahoe, CA for additional fees

My name is Melissa Kelly! I am a Boston Metrowest based wedding photographer! I live in Grafton, MA with my wonderful husband and my two energetic boys! Photography has been a family hobby for my entire life! My father and I have always shared a special bond over our creative and artistic side and my maternal grandfather even had a dark room IN his home! It's in my blood! I am so excited to be able to share my passion with others!

Both my engagement photos and wedding photos were taken by Melissa! Honestly, she was the best! (And it should be noted, I am picky with pictures haha) While "wedding planning" some people recommended I hire a videographer, but with Melissa's photos I didn't even need one! She captures every moment, even ones you didn't realize were being captured. It's like reliving my day every time I look at these photos. There is a lot of beauty in her editing, lighting, and angles. She gives you pose ideas too for those who are a little camera-awkward. Plus I got sooooo much positive feedback from wedding guest about how much they loved her the night of the wedding due to her amazing, fun personality, but then when they saw the outcome of the photos afterwards, everyone including my husband and I were (even more) impressed. I absolutely recommend Photography By Melissa Kelly. You will get beautiful photos and memories a genuine kind person to hang out with on your special day :) I honestly can't thank her enough, hands down!

Hey there, I’m Eric! Originally from Nebraska, I now reside in Minneapolis with my wife, three dogs, cat, and a bunch of reptile friends. Outdoors is my passion, whether hiking, biking, climbing, or camping, rain or shine. While I love capturing weddings in the heart of the Midwest, I’m always ready to travel across the country for a unique celebration. Elopements, especially, have a special place in my heart—there’s a thrill in capturing those intimate moments, wherever they may be. I've found love in documenting portraits, especially of couples, discovering a certain magic in their connection and the uniqueness of each love story.

Eric Turner Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding. From the first time we spoke, Eric's warm and flexible communication style put us at ease. He listened thoughtfully to our vision and provided affordable packages that allowed us to get the high-quality photography we wanted without breaking the bank. On our wedding day, Eric was a natural professional who blended seamlessly into the background, capturing all the beautiful details and special moments without ever being intrusive. Even our guests who don't love having their photos taken commented on how comfortable and at ease Eric made them feel. The final photos were absolutely stunning - he has an incredible eye for detail and artistry. We couldn't be happier with the memories Eric helped us preserve from our special day.

Hey! Hello! What's happening? I'm Erika, owner and lead photographer of It Clicks Photo. I love learning about your love story, how you knew your significant other was the one, and any embarrassing stories you two have endured over time. I'm sure I have a few I feel the need to tell you about, too! I'm a very accepting, down to earth lady who values and appreciates your authentic- straight to the core- self. Capturing your wedding day fills me with life, and makes me feel all butterfly-ish and bubbly inside. Can't wait to meet you both! (PS- I love to travel! There isn't a place I won't go- honestly.)

Erika has been my favorite photographer to work with since we met a few years ago. I just love her work! As a DJ it is important to be able to work well with vendors. Especially the ones capturing the big day. It has always been very easy for me to work with Erika and her team so I recommend her every chance I get. I have noticed over the years that she is naturally a creative fun and easy going person which in my opinion is always a great quality for a wedding professional. I look forward to working with Ericka and the whole itclicks team for years to come.

Hey guys! My name is Shaya and I have been an Elopement & Wedding Photographer for about 3 years & have lived in the Orlando area for the past 8 years. I love to find new jaw-dropping places for my couples and see the beauty that this sunshine state has to offer. If I'm not editing away at my apartment, I am usually at a coffee shop catching up with friends, taking my yorkies Lily and Tripp on a long walk, or traveling trying to find a new trail to hike. I am a recent newlywed so I know exactly what you're going through with wedding planning and I am so happy to help out all of my amazing Clients as much as possible!

Shaya took my graduation photos, my wedding photos, and now my sister is looking to book both sessions with Shaya as well! Her professionalism and kindness drew me to her and has kept me coming back to her! She is a great photographer and communicator. I would definitely recommend Shaya.

Hi all, I’m Erin! I’m a wedding photographer based in Minneapolis but I’m always up for a destination or travel wedding/elopement. I feel my favorite images are always ones that are captured vs manufactured and embracing the true interactions between the couple, their friends and family. I LOVE love and I’ll probably cry at your wedding, all those feels get me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Erin was absolutely wonderful to work with. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with her and were blown away by the everything she captured for us. She is professional, yet laid back and fun to work with. She made us feel totally at ease with the process. We opted for a second shooter for our wedding, and we are so glad we did! Erin and Brandon were able to capture so many candid moments from our day, and were so creative with locations and poses for our photos. We cannot speak more highly of Erin and her services, 100/10 would recommend!

I love to be outside, and combined with my passion for emotive imagery and getting to know your story, I adore what I get to do for my work. I focus on capturing the intimate, authentic moments of your story and weave them into a series that is casually joyfully you. With a background in travel and documentary photography, previously working in international non profit storytelling, my style speaks to those looking for the organic story with the greatest value being in experiences over things.

Rose is an amazing photographer with a beautiful style. Her story telling is wonderful and allows you to share the whole day with all those not at your elopement and they don't miss a single thing. Highly recommend speaking with her at the very least to see if she's your person. You won't be disappointed.

Jen Peterson Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves S Lake Tahoe, CA for additional fees

HELLO THERE! I’m Jen! A Portrait, Wedding, and Real Estate photographer located in the beautiful Northern California area. With many years of experience and a consistent style; I deliver images that are radiant, joyful, and everlasting. But even more than the photos I deliver, I believe that my clients deserve the BEST photographic EXPERIENCE possible. I am a mom and step-mom to four beautiful children and am a devoted wife to Matt (who is also my second shooter on wedding days as a matter of fact!). I’m so excited that you stopped by, I would love to learn more about you!

My husband and I recently had the privilege of working along Jen and her husband Matt as our wedding photographers. A week before our wedding, we received some unfortunate news that our original photographer was no longer able to shoot our wedding, based on an unfortunate situation. Immediately, she reassured me that we would be in the best hands with Jen Peterson Photography. As you can imagine, that's a lot to take in so close to your wedding day, but as soon as I spoke to Jen on the phone (whom I've never met), all my nerves slipped away! It was as though I had known her for years. She truly is the most kindhearted, genuine, and uplifting person I've ever had a chance to work with! The fact the her and Matt graciously agreed to shoot our wedding, no questions asked and so last minute, speaks of their character. Fast forward to our wedding, they far exceeded every expectation we had! From wrangling in two extended families, to dealing with the sweltering summer heat, nothing stopped them. Throughout the entire day, she made sure EVERY photo was perfect. Also, I can honestly say that in all the weddings I've attended, I never witnessed a photographer mingle amongst the guests to take their photo's to help the bride and groom relive their special day. While we were eating, Jen and Matt choose to take a break, instead, they captured so many wonderful, memorable photos of our guests that I am forever grateful for! Small details such as those are things you don't think to ask for, but they they took the initiative, and for that, I can not thank them enough. After our wedding, I was equally as impressed by how quickly Jen submitted our proofs to us. Upon reviewing them, EVERY single moment of our day was captured. The quality of our photos were breathtaking! Please do yourself a favor and use Jen Peterson Photography for your special day. You will be thoroughly impressed by their expertise , quality of work, and as a result, you'll be gifted the most amazing photos to look back on for years to come.

HI! I am Anastasia (she/her), your Northern California elopement and wedding photographer and so much more. My passion for photography began when I was a child. It started as a hobby when I fell in love with photographing families and babies. Over the years I realized I adore documenting couples, in all stages of their relationships. I know they say we should specialize in one type of photography, but I am not sure I can ever do that. I love to create and I get bored with only doing one thing.

Working with Anastasia was such a dream! She was extremely helpful in all of her suggestions and helped guide me throughout my elopement planning process! I knew I loved her work, and I can say that her professionalism and openness to create the perfect shot is outstanding! I would highly encourage any one (couples, families, and even solo portraits) to contact her for your treasured moments to be captured! She went above and beyond helping me and we love her work and her! :)

Photographing a couple's love story is something I never take for granted. It is an honor & privilege to create art for my couples. My absolute favorite thing to do is illustrate your love story, your adventure, your favorite memories. Let's create some magic!

Ashley is the best in the business. Period. We were initially incredibly excited to discover Ashley had our wedding date available, however, the result she delivered exceeded all expectations. Not only did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the personal shots, but she caught moments in which I was completely unaware of her presence. If you are lucky enough, hire Ashley to capture moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Five stars is not sufficient to describe the experience Ashley provides for her clients.

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 Emily! Mom to 3 kids, two rats named Frodo and Sam and a bearded dragon. I like my couples like I like my pets - just slightly unconventional. Dress fluffer, timeline-keeper, family wrangler, prone to squealing over a perfect ray of sunshine- I'll dance with your grandma, cry during your vows, and make you laugh at inappropriate moments. You're a badass and deserve the space to express yourself and your love EXACTLY as you are, no holds barred. Say goodbye to not knowing what to do with your hands, fake smiles in photos, and stiff posing that *just doesn't feel like you*. LGBTQIA+ and looking for a safe vendor? I gotchu!

Emily was great to work with for our wedding. She met with us ahead of time to discuss what we were looking for, travelled to Baltimore for our wedding, and had great suggestions for locations/poses that felt (and looked) natural to us. Emily has a much more natural/candid style of photography than standard wedding photography. Edited photos came pretty quickly, despite it being peak wedding season. We love our photos and are still enjoying them years later!

I am a destination wedding & elopement photographer + planner based in New Mexico. I am originally from the small college town of Lexington, Kentucky, but before long my family moved to Toronto, Canada. Fast forward a handful of years, we moved to Nashville where I finished up elementary school and attended high school. I graduated from UTK in the spring of May 2020 with a BS in marketing and a collateral in entrepreneurship. After graduation I moved down to Florida to be with my partner who is stationed in the area and this past year we got moved to NM! I am an avid traveler & learner!

Audrey is the best. She went above and beyond for my wedding which seemed so natural that she must do it for all. We had 3 phone calls since we lived far away. Ahead of the wedding she put together detailed timelines for myself and all those involved. We made edits together and we explored different package options. I had a large wedding where my Husband and I were getting ready at different locations, a Catholic Church Ceremony and a different location for reception. Audrey managed with ease. She has the calmest demeanor and the best art came from the day. I received “Sneak Peaks” of almost 80 photos within 2 days which was a shock to me. Upon opening them, the photographs were so beautiful we couldn’t even believe these were from our day. I HIGHLY recommend Audrey for your wedding. Big or Small, Formal or Informal. She is the girl. BTW her second shooter, Lauren quite literally saved our wedding ceremony when I forgot the rings. Lauren tracked down the limo driver and delivered the rings discreetly to the alter!

Art and storytelling is my passion when it comes to photography, but I'm also all about capturing raw real emotions, candid moments, and photojournalism. Aside from photographing your day, I also help with finding wedding vendors & venues, or location scouting and lodging if you're eloping. I want your wedding/elopement process to be as stress free as possible! Whether it's your wedding day, elopement, or another special occasion, I'll work closely with you to bring your vision to life.

I have worked with Krystalle many times over the last few years and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is truly skilled in what she does. She captures images in a way most photographers don't know how; finding the raw beauty and creating art in everyday moments. She is always a pleasure to work with, fun, down to earth, and very easy to connect with!

Hey Friend! Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images!!! I live for the RAW moments... the true emotion of the day. Tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your loved ones before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do!" I blend candid and guided shots, giving you the freedom to move about the day to enjoy it, while never having the thought of “what should I be doing” running through your mind! You'll be able to look back on your wedding photos 40 years from now and FEEL the emotions you felt that day. That's my promise to you!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren for our wedding, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! From the moment we first met her, it was clear that she wasn’t just passionate about photography—she genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our day in the most beautiful, authentic way possible. Lauren has an extraordinary eye for detail. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures moments—the spontaneous smiles, the glances exchanged, the raw emotions. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—something neither of us was used to. She took the time to understand our style and personalities, and tailored her approach to fit that perfectly. On the day of the wedding, her calm and positive energy was a grounding presence amid all the excitement. Lauren made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day and beyond. She’s a true artist, and her work will be cherished by us for years to come. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is not only professional but will go above and beyond to capture your most important moments, look no further than Lauren. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we are forever grateful! Thank you, Lauren, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Welcome to Taira Marie Photography, we are excited that you have found us! Take your time browsing around to learn a little bit about us and our style. We are here for you if you have any questions and are looking forward to connecting with you!

Deciding on a wedding photographer is not an easy task because you know these are once-in-a-lifetime memories to be captured, but choosing and working with Taira Marie Photography was nothing short of extraordinary. We discovered their Instagram through our Wedding venue, as they had worked together on some events and photoshoots, and I was immediately drawn to the photography style. It was completely serendipitous to find out that they had our wedding date available and hit it off with their team on our first meeting. Our package came with an engagement shoot, which gave us an opportunity to really get comfortable in front of the cameras, they turned out lovely and we realized how truly passionate Taira is about her job. The photography team worked with us to hit every "shot list" photo we wanted to get on our big day and captured the most beautiful details. Taira and Joey felt like family at our wedding and have been so good to us with their communication and professionalism. Our wedding album just arrived (hand-delivered too!) and it's amazing, I'll never forget how we felt that day because it's so wonderfully and thoroughly portrayed with their photography.

I got my first digital camera at 13 and spent the afternoons capturing flowers in our backyard; ever since it's been my dream to have my own photography business. Photography and writing were the two ways I expressed myself and were their own kind of therapy for me. And now, I use photography as a type of therapy for my clients. I believe there is a power in the vulnerability of being and feeling seen. So, photography is my tool to help others feel truly seen and celebrated. It's so important to make everyone feel this way, especially on their elopement/wedding day :)

I can't recommend Hailey highly enough. She created such a comfortable, easy, and fun environment for us. She took our requests seriously and tailored the shoot to make us feel happy and confident. The photos were delivered to us very quickly after the shoot, and they turned out better than I could've ever expected. She is a master at capturing pure, genuine moments. Looking at them now stirs up so many emotions for us in the BEST way! Hailey is extremely kind, attentive, and skilled in her craft. I will never look anywhere else for a photographer!

I’m totally a kid at heart, so much so that I still have a giant stuffed shark on my bed and my favorite food will forever be cheesy fries. I’m the type of person that will say hello to every dog I meet on the street and freak out when I see a dog hanging their head out of their persons car or when I see cows grazing while driving down the backroads. I'm a huge lover of the outdoors and quiet mornings with a huge cup of coffee and reading on the balcony.

Nancy was so great to work with! I was on the search for a photographer style just like hers and was so happy to find her. Her photography skills did not disappoint and her friendly personality was key in helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

You’re here for one reason and one reason only, to see if we are a good fit for your special day. Whether that day is hiking in mother nature with your partner or taking a deep dive into a self-love journey with boudoir (even as a couple), I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT! I’ve been in business since 2019 and am profoundly in love with love. I pride myself on creating an adventurous experience for the madly in love & capturing your candid intimacy.

Alyssa was one of my photographers for my wedding in February and I honestly could not have asked for a better person to be there for my big day. She has a calming presence and is so kind and patient. Wedding days can be so stressful but having Alyssa as not only a photographer but a friend was so great and really made the day so much more memorable. Not to mention her photos and style is absolutely stunning. She is so fun and delivers the most magical, beautiful photos. 10/10 recommend!!!

Hiring a photographer was not originally part of the plan for our elopement but I am SO happy we decided to go for it, and even more happy we hired Caitlyn! Our day was captured perfectly and every moment is so beautifully retold through the photos. Her style is exactly the look we wanted and her attention to detail is much appreciated, we couldn’t be any more happy with how they turned out. We already have multiple printed and hanging throughout the house!

For over a decade our photographers have been providing mesmerizing photos and élite grade results. After traveling the four continents for years we have decided to call Las Vegas, NV our home but it was not easy to say farewell to California, so we began providing our services in both beautiful states simultaneously. Eventually we came up with a united mindset, a wonderful team and a plan to start our company and continue providing great service in most major areas of photography. Since photography is our passion and providing astonishing customer service is our goal, we guarantee stunning photos and the best experience one can ask for.

Carly is a long time family friend so it was a no-brainer to have her be a part of our special day, but she delivered far above our expectations! We couldn't imagine our wedding day without her, and have gone back to her for every family photo, maternity shoot, and Christmas card since. She managed to get both the traditional bridal party shots and candids that told the whole story of our wedding. If we had to redo our day all over again, we wouldn't have changed a thing about working with Carly!!

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

We had the best experience working with Nick (and Mackenzie) on our big day. I cannot recommend Nick Cruz Photography enough! All of our photos are so beautiful and exceeded our (high) expectations. We could not have asked for better photos or a better photographer. Getting married during COVID meant a lot of last-minute changes in plans and Nick was so supportive and willing to work with us to make sure we captured all aspects of the day safely. And he is so personable - we had a total of 13 people at our wedding, so it was a very small group, all immediate family, but he fit right in! He was super organized and had a shot list to make sure we didn't miss any typical wedding photos. His website for photo delivery makes it so easy to view/download photos and he got us some sneak peaks super fast. Overall, we had such a great experience with Nick and plan to use him for all other big life events that require photography! (He also did our engagement - those photos were amazing too! He worked with my husband to pop out of the trees and capture the actual proposal.)

Hi loves! I’m Amanda, a San Diego based traveling photographer devoted to documenting romantic wedding moments and preserving the essence of the big day with imagery. I absolutely love having fun with my couples and getting them comfortable in being exactly who they are to capture in images! I have been a photographer for 10+ years and have fallen in love with being the person who showcases a couple’s love through creative imagery. I’ll be your biggest hype man, get you laughing with your partner and capture every emotional moment that should never be forgotten!

Amanda and KC are the REAL deal. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Amanda for several events, including our intimate wedding in France and our larger celebration in the Central Coast of California. From start to finish, Amanda was the calm within the storm. Our family members and other vendors raved about her for days after—she truly was the glue that held us all together! Amanda is exceptionally professional, timely, and communicative. We were absolutely blown away by Amanda’s shots. She has a fresh take on classic, timeless photos and was super responsive to our own vision. We look genuinely comfortable in our photos, reflecting the awesome connection we had with Amanda. Amanda and her partner KC also shot our larger California celebration as a team. They both worked seamlessly together, delivering the same level of professionalism and skill. Amanda and KC are so much fun that we actually forced them to put down their cameras and dance with us at the end of the night. I really can’t recommend Amanda enough for anyone in need of an event photographer. She and KC will exceed your expectations, just like they did for us.

Hello there! I’m Amy. My roots are here in the PNW, (Edmonds, Washington to be exact) but I spent most of my life in Texas waiting for the day when I could move my family home to the northwest. I have 5 sons (yep, 5!) and have to pinch myself when I think about my amazing family and this career that has taken my husband and I all over the world. I value experience and relationships over material things, and work mostly with couples who are planning smaller weddings or elopements. After 12 years and 300+ weddings, I’ve learned that connection and authenticity are essential to who I am, and the way that I work.

I am in LOVE with all the photos we received from Ruth. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day we have countless photos all of which are beautiful. We loved working with Ruth - super easy, relaxed style which was perfect for us. We wanted to be comfortable and not notice a photographer since it can be awkward. Her journalistic approach was perfect for us and captured so much more then we could have imagined. I had a very hard time picking photos for my wedding album and prints that I basically printed every single photo. The lighting and angles were natural and she truly captured every moment. I felt like all the photos we received told the complete story of the day.
