We are all here for you. All your family, your friends and I (yes, me too!) are here to honor you on your wedding day! As excited as I am to get to the dancefloor with you guys, I know a lot of planning goes into making your day special. As your photographer, I’ve been to a few weddings and am just a call or text away from any insight you might want. I approach every wedding with the same mentality, how can I tell the story of today in the most real way possible? I’ve found the best way to do that is to just be me. I allow myself to be present and listen to the stories unfold throughout the day.

YOU'RE ENGAGED!! Congrats and thanks for stopping by! My name is Jordan Scott, the Owner and Photographer of Wax + Whale Co. Photography! I'm a mama bear to a little guy named Vander Nash! Wife to my best friend of 12 years strong! I love drinking all the coffee, and LOVE! I have been doing photography for several years now and I am absolutely and forever in love with being invited to capture and share those raw intimate moments. The ones most people overlook, whether it's the snuggles, giggles, dancing, or just enjoying each others company. My goal is to capture and display that love and happiness in it's most raw and authentic form!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jordan was in a word fantastic. Her moody beautiful style perfectly matched our fall-themed wedding. She and her second shooter listened to everything we had to say and captured everything important to us. She was also far along in her pregnancy (congrats again Jordan!) at the time and was so communicative and a trooper for us and our wedding. She also was able to get our photos out to us a little earlier than promised. I know that can never be guaranteed but we were so freaking excited when the link hit our inbox early! We immediately ordered several prints to hang in our home because we are so happy with them. All in all, super professional, personable, knowledgeable, and very committed to her passion. I would hire her ten times over and you won't regret it either.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

  • Serves San Diego, CA for additional fees

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a lover of art, stories, and spark—the perfect alchemy to creating and capturing all those memory-making, magical moments. Weddings, to me, are about your unique narrative, your origin stories and your threads of connection; the ways in which you’ve woven a love through a tapestry of compassion and inspiration and all that makes you you— both as individuals and as a couple. That’s the fabric of the photo, the material I like to work with; because of this, my photos lean atmospheric and candid.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Hannah was so easy, and the photos from our wedding were exactly what I wanted. I really wanted to maximize the amount of time I spent enjoying my wedding and guests, and Hannah's style was perfect for this – we got our posed portraits done quickly, and the rest of the time she was able to capture what was actually taking place at the wedding. In terms of pre-wedding prep, we met once before I signed the contract and then again about a month before the wedding to nail down details. Hannah was very communicative throughout the whole process, and she turned around 25 beautiful pictures within a week of the wedding for us to share around. I just got 200 more pictures back, and they are stunning. Hannah is such a talent, and I highly recommend her.

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar.

After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear.

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.

I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

  • Serves San Diego, CA for additional fees

Like many people, I spent 10 years within corporate America and although I am thankful for my experience, it wasn't feeding my soul. I can be honest and say that I learned so much- my customer service skills, high-level organizational & strategy skills, and my overall work ethic comes directly from my experience within a regular ol' 9-5. However, I've been able to pair what I learned the last 10 years with my passion for photography, and have built this business to provide a stellar experience, the same one I would expect if I were getting married. Below I'll dive into what sets Loui apart, and I hope to hear about your upcoming day!

Hayley and I are wedding videographers (Sublime Exposures Films). We meet photographers all the time and know what it's like to work with normal ones, bad ones, and now even great ones. Meg of LouiPhotography was the most decisive AND remained flexible. She was the most communicative about what she was going to do and why, and was extremely transparent. We're originally from Fargo, and working with her made us want to move to the cities to hang with the real professionals. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and working with us so well to make our jobs easy. All teams should be able to collaborate like that to make the day the least stressful for the brides and grooms as possible and we shall always strive for this standard. Hope to work with you again soon!

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer who loves to frequent the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Midwest (where I grew up.) I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

Awarded Best of Zola
Grace T Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly responsive and provided us with so much inspiration and guidance to help us plan the perfect day. Their team, including Hannah and Mike, were dedicated and fantastic. They captured our wedding in the most candid and romantic way. They helped us plan the flow of the day by contributing feedback and building the schedule, and we even got special moments, like a pair of bunnies that photobombed our engagement shoot! We couldn't have asked for a better photography experience and would highly recommend Grace T Photography to any couple looking for a talented and personable team to capture their special day.

Soon after Juan and Emily got married in 2018 Juan began his photography career as a light technician in LA. Juan studied journalism for his undergrad, and this is when he was gifted his first camera and his interest in photography was sparked. Emily's childhood dream was to be a photographer, and after working for years as an ICU nurse she is able to do just that alongside Juan. We are energized by the creativity that photography brings, and the light and joy we experience from meeting couples.

Juan and his wife Emily took the most BEAUTIFUL photos of my fiancé and I in Asheville, NC. His style is classic with a modern twist. He captures movement shots that look like we were sprinting off to a romantic getaway. His wife helped capture images as well and provided some great input on several shots. Both so kind, patient, and good at their job. I am so thankful to have such priceless photos. I recommend Juan and Emily for any event that you want to capture the memories via photo.

I consider my style to be on the photojournalistic side, documenting moments as they naturally happen but also helping to set the scene for the moments that matter most. But I'm not just here to click a camera; I'm your visual storyteller, weaving the narrative of your love into each frame. You can think of me as your co-pilot to navigating the whirlwind of your wedding day. Together, we’ll craft a seamless timeline, embrace the unexpected moments, and handle anything the day throws our way. I’ll capture every smile shared, heartfelt tear shed, and dance move busted along the way so you can focus on enjoying the magic of your special day!

Hiring Aireal was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very first consultation, she made my wife and I feel so confident and excited about our big day. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it really showed in the photos—each one perfectly captured the essence of our relationship. On the wedding day, Aireal was such a calming presence. She was organized, professional, and had a way of making everyone feel at ease, even in the midst of all the chaos. She caught every detail and emotion without us ever feeling like we were constantly posing for pictures. Our photos are beyond beautiful. She captured so many moments we’ll treasure forever, and the quality is exceptional. We even ordered prints through her gallery and they came out flawless. It’s obvious that Aireal is passionate about her work, and she truly goes above and beyond for her clients. If you’re searching for an LGBTQIA friendly wedding photographer who will capture your day with authenticity, creativity, and a personal touch, look no further. Aireal is amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with our wedding photography experience!

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.

Hiring Maggie was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. She captured our day perfectly, and we were thrilled with how the photos turned out. Maggie has such a fun and genuine energy that comes through in her work and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Working with Maggie was a breeze - she has a lot of knowledge and experience and gives great advice for the whole wedding day. She really listened to what we wanted and understood the vision for our day; nothing about working with her felt cookie-cutter or impersonal. Maggie has an incredible eye for capturing all the little moments that make up a wedding day, and we feel lucky to have those memories captured to look back on. We cannot recommend Maggie enough!

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!

Hello! My name is Emily and I have been a photographer since 2015. I have found my passion in photography through all the little moments of your big day.

Emily is someone I highly recommend to any brides/grooms looking for an affordable yet outstanding photographer.

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!

Hey friend, I’m Erica! I am a documentary style destination wedding photographer, based in Seattle! My passion is capturing, true love through my lens. I’ve been professionally photographing weddings for over seven years, and I even grew up in the industry! My mom is a wedding coordinator, and growing up, I fell in love with all things weddings!

We loved working with Erica from our engagement photos to our wedding! She captured our small, mountain elopement in such a magical way. When we look back at the photos, we remember how we felt in that moment because of how well she captured the environment and the details. This is especially impressive considering we got married at sunrise, outside, in the fog/rain on top of a mountain. Our day was very simple and yet it looks almost cinematic in our photos. She has a creative eye for what she does, but is still open to making any ideas you may have come to life. We very much appreciated her knowledge of how to pose us and our guests in photos, as well as her grounded and down-to-earth personality. A wedding photographer is one of the most important purchases you’ll make in your lifetime and I truly believe Erica is well worth the investment! We now have our love story captured in such a beautiful way that we will get to look back on for a lifetime. Thanks Erica!

I am awkward in pictures, but she knew exactly what to say to get me to lighten up for natural smiles and comfortable poses. Working along side her is just as wonderful, she knows her stuff and is a true professional. Every picture I've received has been perfection. Looking forward to working together again.

Kelly and Filippo went above and beyond to make our wedding day amazing, even getting into a car accident on the way to the wedding but still making our special day their main priority. They were extremely professional and very helpful in planning out the schedule of the day. I couldn't believe the level of professionalism and genuine dedication they showed to us throughout the entire process.

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!

Words can't fully describe how amazing the experience was from start to finish with Chamblee! If you need someone to capture a moment as precious as saying "I Do", Chamblee is your photographer! She was always thoughtful and patient, and the quality of the photos are amazing! Each photo shows how much care and attention Chamblee puts into the composition of each shot! All-in-all, I highly recommend her for her photography skills and for the care she put into making wedding photography a truly delightful experience.

Hello! My name is Brenda and I've resided in SoCal all of my life. Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
I love photos and photography was one of my must have, high quality items for our wedding. Our original photographer had to back out (with plenty of time and notice) so we found ourselves back at the drawing board several months before the wedding. I found Brenda and loved that her images showed a diverse clientele - as a plus size bride with a SO over 6’ tall, that was something that really mattered to me. By the end of our Zoom meeting I wanted to hug her! I felt confident she was the right fit. When the big day came around, not only was her presence instantly calming (things had already been going wrong that morning) but she was incredibly helpful every step of the way, including trying to find a dropped earring, closing my necklace because everyone’s nails were too long, making sure I had space to take a break when my nerves overwhelmed me. We just got some of our sneak peeks in and wow…I’m crying all over again. She captured moments between my SO and I so beautifully, you can feel the love we have for each other. It sounds cliche, but it’s true! Not only were we pleased with Brenda, our guests and wedding party all had such kind things to say about her - how many weddings have you gone to and complimented the photographer, as a guest?! If her style is one that you like, don’t hesitate to hire Brenda. I can’t wait to take more photos with her as we grow old. She was an important part of our day and, for me, the best person to have by my side throughout the chaotic day. I was so happy to have her as part of our adventurers club.

I’m so happy you are here!! I started my business 5 years ago, and photographing weddings has forever been my dream. I’ve always loved weddings and this industry because of what it means.
