  • Serves San Francisco, CA for additional fees

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.

Sea and Ink

  • Serves San Francisco, CA for additional fees

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.

Hailey Aitkins Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,750
  • Serves San Francisco, CA for additional fees

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 :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Hailey and I met at a retreat where I had the opportunity to get to know her working style + art + personality. What you need to know about Hailey, beyond her incredibly crafted images, is that she is a kind, gentle, and intuitive human. Hailey has a remarkable ability to listen + to discern the needs of those around her. She takes the time and has the care to get to know her subjects in a way that allows them to truly feel seen. I believe that Hailey uses this vulnerability superpower to create the beautiful images you see in her portfolio. When you hire Hailey you will be left in awe at not only the photographs you recieve but also the beautiful impression she leaves on you heart.

  • Serves San Francisco, CA for additional fees

Hey, hi, hello! My name is Nancy Chhin, I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I grew up in Southern California, I visited Oregon once and fell in love! 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.

I had the great opportunity of working with Nancy as our photographer. Nancy picked the location and time. The area she chose was beautiful and had great potential. She was punctual and extremely inviting. Her energy was vibrant and she was great with her directions. There was never a dull moment and she made the experience memorable. Anyone that is looking for amazing photos, great atmosphere and a professional photographer, Nancy is the perfect person for you.

There's a feeling you get when someone you love smiles, when they laugh, when they take your hand in theirs. Those feelings are what I seek to capture. I combine the physical beauty of a moment with candid emotions to create heart-warming images that bring you back into the moment all over again.

Audrey was a dream photographer to have at our wedding! In addition to being so personable and having such a wonderful personality, she's an extremely talented artist!! Her photos are absolutely stunning and she really captures the moment. Looking through my photos I feel the excitement of that day! She is so sweet and made everyone feel so comfortable taking photos that the time flew by. I also felt like she was everywhere capturing all our moments -- I don't know how she did it all! We also received a lot of compliments about Audrey and how wonderful she is. Would definitely love getting to work with Audrey again.

Kinsey Skye || Jackson Hole Wyoming Wedding Photographer 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves San Francisco, CA for additional fees

For the couples who dream without limits. Kinsey is a boutique documentary wedding photographer specializing in luxury destination weddings. Kinsey Skye is based full time in Jackson Hole, WY, spending her off seasons in the desert, beaches, and overseas. Your story, vintage cinema, nature, music, travel, and exploration is where she finds inspiration for her unique, yet timeless style of photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I are extremely sentimental people. We adore reminiscing together over photos and videos, and because of this have had many professional photo shoots done to capture our relationship; each and every time, we have used Kinsey Skye. Our first shoot with her was a birthday gift from my husband, where we took mountain-top photos at sunset. The next shoot came when he proposed later that same year. Later, again, we hired Kinsey for our engagement photos. It was, of course, a no-brainer that we hire her to be our wedding photographer as well. Our wedding was set to be in Arkansas in July of 2020, and we were so elated knowing we had hired truly one of the most caring, personable, communicative, hard-working, and beyond talented photographers out there. Then... enter Covid-19. As quarantine swept across the country, we began making arrangements to resize our wedding to only a 40-person event, still in Arkansas. However, 12 days before our big day, 3 of our groomsmen fell ill with Covid-19, and my family (all of which live cross-country) made the decision they couldn't risk traveling 900 miles to Arkansas for our wedding. So, my husband and I made the tough decision to cancel almost all of our wedding plans in Arkansas, and instead take the wedding to my family in South Carolina for a spur-of-the-moment beach elopement in Charleston. But, after all the alterations we were forced to make in the midst of the pandemic, I refused to also give up Kinsey, the photographer who I trusted with my heart and soul to capture my wedding day. We contacted Kinsey with 12 days to spare, asking if she would be willing to follow us to South Carolina to photograph our elopement... unsurprisingly, she said yes. Kinsey, with her incredible heart and adventurer's soul, followed us 900 miles to the East Coast, and captured our elopement with some of the most stunning images we have ever seen. She documented our day with such beauty, ease, respect, intimacy, and careful attention to detail, making sure not to miss a single one of my requests. Her photos told the story of our day from start to finish, making our thrown-together-at-the-last-moment elopement look like a masterpiece. It was such a gift to be able to share the photos with our hundreds of friends and family who weren't able to witness the day in person. She also did extensive research on her own time to provide us with the most cost-effective and simplest options of getting her to South Carolina with us, as well as aided us in planning the timing of our day to coincide with sunset and the weather. Her photography skills aside, Kinsey is one of the most truly devoted and kind-hearted individuals we have had the pleasure of meeting, and working with time and again. Photography is more than a job to her - it is so clearly her passion. She is an embodiment of respect, preparedness, professionality, and genuine joy. I can not recommend Kinsey Skye Destination Wedding Photography highly enough. Look no further, and trust me when I say... you've found the photographer for you!

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 were amazing! My fiancé and I were hesitant to take engagement photos at all—we are both awkward and don’t pose well for photos. Amanda and KC were very relaxed, casual and FUN! They made us laugh the entire time and everything felt so easy & comfortable. AND THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL! First, we don’t look awkward (big win). And second, the settings/backdrops/lighting they chose were exactly what we were looking for. Great experience and would highly recommend for anyone looking for engagement photos.

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves San Francisco, CA for additional fees

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 highly recommend Nick for all of your photography needs. We had an intimate wedding on a friend's balcony, Nick did a great job of getting photos of everyone in the family in different settings throughout the day. He had great ideas and even had us walk down the street to an open lot and got some great outdoor/natural photos. The most special photos we have are the ones in which he truly captured the emotion of the moment, we will cherish them for our lifetime. Thanks Nick!!

We were really happy to work with Norbert, he was always responsive, flexible and very attentive to our questions. He was very professional and friendly to us at all times. Plus, he gave us some great recommendations around the area that we hadn't even heard of! We have never really had pictures taken of us before in a romantic setting by a professional before, that alone was pretty intimidating for us. Norbert made the entire photo experience a lot less intimidating for us to go through, the pictures came out perfect in the end! Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely recommend him to anyone marrying in the future in need of a photographer.

I love exploring the world! THAT is why I love capturing love stories from all parts of the earth. I was living in New Zealand for a few years when I met my husband, Tyler. He shares the same love of wild adventure as I do. Together we have taken roadies through NZ, Australia, Indonesia, West Papua, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea. We have been married for almost three years now and live in Denver together in a little apartment.

Hello there! I’m Karen, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of New York. I love photographing LOVE! Connections. The places we go, the people we meet, and the experiences we have along the way are what we remember most in life. I have a passion for traveling and exploring the world, and my life is filled with a lot of laughter, incredible food and wine, and photo adventures with clients turned friends.Memories are such a vivid representation of our lives and capturing the spirit of each couple, family or individual in that sliver of time is an opportunity I am very proud to call my work.

Karen is an amazing photographer with an INCREDIBLE EYE! She captures moments and details that most people miss, but that everyone wants to remember. I worked with Karen at a wedding on the California Coast and was so impressed by her professionalism, warm demeanor and efficiency. The images from the wedding (and my florals) were stunning. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly, and can't wait to work with her again!

My earliest memories of photography are from when I attended weddings at 5 or 6 years old. I would photograph everyone at these weddings with a small, plastic, film camera and loved every moment. That joy of photography and capturing beauty and love has stayed with me ever since. I have a better camera now, but I still can't wait to capture your love.

I have hired Tom to take headshots for me as a musician, as well as to photograph my engagement to my fiancee in August 2020. He is extremely talented as a photographer, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better for those jobs. He makes clients feel comfortable and beautiful, which gets them to look and feel their best for the photos.

Kie Thurman Photography

  • Serves San Francisco, CA for additional fees

Hi there!! I'm Kie, pronounced like pie. I've been a photographer of some sort for nearly a decade, but weddings didn't come into my life until 2020 (perfect timing!!), it's become my personality trait and I truly don't think I could love doing anything more than this. Some things about me: I prefer series over movies (Gossip Girl, The Office, Buffy TVS, How I Met Your Mother are some of my faves), I'm nothing if not a Paramore fan, I love cute and cheesy romance novels, and I think I am hilarious. I love being your #1 hype girl, joining the party at the reception, and making you comfortable on your big day :)

Kie flew out to NYC to shoot our wedding and it was the most amazing experience. She took everything we asked for I to consideration, we chatted before the wedding a handful of times, she checked in frequently, and she is also just the sweetest person around! We got back our sneak peak shots and I am obsessed! They are so dreamy and perfectly capture just how much love we share. I could not be happier and can’t wait for the full album xoxoxo Michelle and Nick

Hiya! I'm Courtney! I'm not your average photographer. I'm something so much more than that. From the moment you step out of your car and greet me to the moment you get back in your car and drive home, I'm there with you cheering you on, telling you how GORGEOUS you look, and making all those weird cute baby noises at your little one. I'm the one who stays up all night to make sure you get those images just in time to send out Christmas cards.

Courtney has been my husband and i’s photographer since we got engaged, eloped and finally had our wedding- and was in our wedding! Being able to watch her grow and transcend has been such an amazing thing. She always goes above and beyond to make our photoshoots, and photos themselves amazing. I can not recommend someone better to capture all your magical moments and milestones.

Howdy! I'm Gwen. I am believer in love at first sight and that travel is the best teacher (experiencing new places makes my soul sing). I have been photographing weddings for over 13 years. From Iceland to Antarctica, Hawaii to Alaska, Shanghai to Scotland and frequently in Colorado my home-state, I've captured photos of incredible humans full of love. I quickly found my passion is documenting intimate weddings and elopements; those full of intention and a little untraditional. I support ALL clients and their right to marry who and how they choose.

It's important when looking for a photographer that you don't only like their work- you also jive with them personally. Gwen has a great eye for composition and detail while also being a great human and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Gwen!

I love telling wedding stories, first and foremost, through capturing moments. Your wedding is a one of a kind event from the location to your style and personalities, but it also includes a unique group of people that have come together to celebrate your union. On your wedding day I focus on capturing the love and laughter, the tears and joy, but also the energy of the party! When it's over I give you a gallery of images that will bring all those emotions back every time you pull them up on your computer, share them online, crack open your album, or walk past them on your wall.

When I think of Matt and MSW Photos, WOW comes to mind. They are incredibly creative and think outside of the norm. They take the time to get to know you and focus on delivering amazing photos you'll be thankful you have for years to come.

  • Serves San Francisco, CA for additional fees

Born and raised in New York City, I became a people's person at a very young age. I always enjoyed seeing people laugh and smile and have a knack for getting along with just about anyone. Music was my first creative venture. I became a music studio engineer and Entertainment Business Bachelor. As a career, I initially loved working on sound for film the most, which later lead to videography. After living in Los Angeles for a few years I decided to do more in regards to film and learned Cinematography and videography editing. While living in London, my love for cinema also extended to photography.

Working with Hunter and his team was an absolute pleasure. They went above and beyond. Their friendly approach, and professionalism made it an absolute joy to work with them. Everything was amazing from start to finish. Highly, highly recommend Hunter Valentino

Meet Sheyanne, a globally recognized wedding and elopement photographer based in Hawai'i, USA. With a portfolio gracing the pages and sites of prestigious publications worldwide, Sheyanne is celebrated for her ability to capture the intersection of effortless elegance and luxury in every frame. Her distinctive style seamlessly weaves together digital and film photography, offering couples a meticulously curated visual narrative that encapsulates the timeless essence of their love stories, whether they unfold in the heart of Hawai'i or at destinations across the globe.

This review is LOOONG overdue, but I always kept it on my eventual to-do list because Sheyanne is INCREDIBLE. She is extremely kind-hearted, welcoming, and (obviously) TALENTED!!! I was a bit nervous because we were planning a wedding in Hawaii from California, but from the first initial phone call with Sheyanne I knew she was the one. Her art speaks for itself, but her mix of professionalism and warmth sparked the connection for my now husband and I. She is truly a wonderful human being. Her pre-wedding checklist helped to bring our wedding vision to life due to Sheyanne's remarkable eye for photography. I told her to experiment and to feel free to try out new unique shots with us and gooooodness, did she deliver. I was blown away at the moments she was able to capture - your wedding day goes by so quickly, it's important to work with a photographer who will capture every precious shot. I look back at our photos with a huge smile as every memory rushes back to me, thanks to Sheyanne. Like all photographers, you will get what you pay for. Please don't see wedding photos as an "expense," but rather as an investment. Sheyanne was worth every penny in our budget, not just because of the art she produces, but her sunny demeanor and the ability to make you feel comfortable, like you've known her for years. Thank you Sheyanne for giving us such a wonderful experience! To anyone still reading this long-winded review – BOOK HER! You will not regret it!
