She is professional, experienced, personable, fun, and easy going. The love & passion for what she does is obvious and comes naturally.

As a Wisconsin-based {traveling} wedding and family photographer, I am passionate about joyfully capturing every moment of your special day and making sure that it tells the story of who you are.

I believe in creating beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. So if you’re ready to celebrate life and make memories, let’s get started!

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Dani Marie Photography! From the very beginning, she listened to our vision and truly understood the unique quirks that make our daughter and now son-in-law. Not only did she capture the essence of their relationship, but she also made sure to incorporate their children into the day, ensuring everyone felt included and special. Her kindness and attentiveness stood out. Throughout the entire day, she was with us, seamlessly blending into the flow of events while still making sure no moment went unnoticed. We felt completely at ease with her behind the lens, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making our memories beautiful. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also patient, thoughtful, and dedicated to capturing the heart of your day, we highly recommend Dani Marie. She truly made our daughter's wedding day unforgettable!

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I live in Oregon with my two cats Clara & Leonardo and about a hundred tropical plants 😆🪴 I love exploring the Pacific Northwest, but I’ve also been able to travel throughout the states and overseas. I’m a huge national parks nerd, a sci-fi enthusiast, and a vintage collector with a serious thrifting addiction.

At the start of my photographer search, I chatted with several different companies to ask my questions. Naomi blew everyone else out of the water and I just clicked with her right away. And it only got better as the journey kept going. She stayed in touch as it got closer to our event date, she offered suggestions, and made sure I didn't need any additional help on the coordination side of things. Now... let's get to the best part, the photo shoot!! OH MY LAWDDDD the pictures came out more dreamy than I could have ever imagined. She has such a great eye for what a good shot will be, isn't afraid to get down and dirty (and maybe accidentally end up in a creek to get the shot), and knows the poses that, to you feel weird, but to the camera, look gorgeous!! Our photos look like they belong in a magazine. She is so talented!!! There's so much more I could say, and I feel like what I have said still just doesn't do her justice. She's the best. Don't go with anyone else!!

I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Seattle, Washington. With over 5 years of shooting weddings in Southern California, I bring a creative, professional and relaxed approach to help treasure each moment on your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Douglas was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding on 08/17/24. Our original wedding photographer cancelled two weeks before our wedding, and a friend recommended we reach out to Doug. He was thankfully available and from the moment we reached out, he was so easy to communicate with - always quick to respond, extremely accommodating, and so easy-going. His work has been absolutely beautiful, he has an amazing understanding of light, composition, and framing with a lot of experience working with outdoor conditions that truly captured the essence of our special day. Doug fit right in with our wedding - he showed up early, stayed late, and somehow (while just following the standard schedule of the day) managed to get the most incredible true lighting and color in *all* of our photos - everything feels exactly like the day itself felt. We couldn't be happier with the results and would without a doubt recommend Douglas R Hall Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Victoria Bremner Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves San Joaquin, CA for additional fees

I'm a Las Vegas based professional wedding photographer, working with couples from all over the world, as well as a travelling wedding photographer. Along with adoring weddings, I'm a serious hockey fan, with silver hair, and a terribly awkward smile. When I’m not photographing people, I love photographing Lego Minifigs on location, Darth Vader being a favorite (and personal hero) but I like expanding my collection of character portraits. I have a wicked sense of humor, a weakness for Rom Com’s & Spanish red wine. In my personal time I work closely with a local dog rescue, as a foster home and photographer, helping find their furever homes.

Awarded Best of Zola
Victoria was amazing to work with! Being in Vermont and having our wedding in Las Vegas we utilized reviews and her bio to make our decision. We definitely made the right one! We exchanged a few emails and phone calls to get the basics set. As we got closer to our date we finalized details and what we wanted her to capture. Her upbeat personality and unique style were exactly what we were looking for. She captured our day perfectly and made sure to check in with me as the Bride on a 95 degree day (water, little breaks, final check in before they left)! We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Victoria. Our photos are beyond what we could have imagined. Highly, highly recommend her for your next photography needs!

Hiring Kiera as our wedding photographer was the best decision EVER. Kiera is incredibly kind and talented. She is patient and flexible. We had road bump after road bump come up during our wedding planning process and Kiera helped us navigate every single one with ease. She responded to us super quickly every time we had a question or concern, and was so helpful. On our wedding day, Kiera went above and beyond. She helped us navigate the craziness of the day. We truly felt how much she cared for us and our wedding. She returned sneak peeks and our album very promptly and the photos were TO DIE FOR. We have received so many compliments on them! We couldn’t have been happier with our choice to hire Kiera.

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

I truly found a love for storytelling once I got into weddings. Weddings are these multifaceted microcosms of stories and relationships that continue to keep me fascinated and excited about capturing them. I find that my style leans towards an editorial, documentary storytelling side, with hints of sophisticated moody & edgy. You feel the emotions of the moment when looking back on your photos I have captured just for you.

Jesi photographed our intimate wedding on the coast and I am so in love with all of my photos! She really knows how to bring your vision to life and is a true artist! She made the experience so personal and really went above and beyond! I highly recommend Jesi if you’re looking for a photographer for your big day!

Your experience with me starts long before you step in front of my lens. I take the time and energy to get to know you & your story, so that I can capture the parts of your relationship that are authentically YOU. So that you can look back on the photos from this season of life, and feel like you're right back in that moment, feeling those same feels. To me, a perfectly posed & still photograph doesn't capture a feeling the way that a candid one can. I direct my couples to create images that are full of movement and those intimate in-between moments.

I found Shelby through searching wedding photographers on Instagram and instantly loved her style. We were supposed to get married in Big Bear but had a last minute venue change. She was awesome and so flexible and instead made the trip out to Palm Desert to document our special day. She got there early, organized with her shot list and suggested shots that I otherwise would not have, and I'm so thankful for that! Look forward to working with her again for future life events!

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Azaria not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.

Jovan was such a pleasure to work with. Me and my partner often find it hard to really connect and feel comfortable in front of the camera yet she made us feel right at home. Would 100% recommend and do plan on working with her again in the future.

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

Awarded Best of Zola
Loved working with Dasha. She was extremely organized and prepared. We met over zoom first to discuss her process and she oriented me well to expectations, she helped me think through the days plan. On the day of she was prompt, flexible, positive. I had a DIY style wedding and there were a lot of moving pieces but Dasha kept up and was so sweet along the way. My fiancé was not super into pictures ever, but she helped us through his awkwardness with it and the pictures looked amazing. I’m so happy with the final pictures I could not recommend her more. Dasha is a consummate professional. I highly, highly recommend her. In a sea of what was many little fires on my wedding day I was able to rely on her. Now that the wedding is done I’m very grateful for the beautiful photos.

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Their communication style made planning easy, and they worked seamlessly in the background on our wedding day to get fantastic shots without ever being intrusive. The quality of Alyssa's work is excellent - the photos are timeless, classic, and thorough in documenting our wedding from start to finish. We absolutely loved having Alyssa there and can't recommend her highly enough! Her photography style results in gorgeous, meaningful images that we will treasure forever.

I am based out of Connecticut + New England but also travel for destination weddings. I am passionate about creating long lasting memories with my clients. I love to travel (15+ countries and counting!), discover new places and meet new people. Fun fact: I'm a french citizen that moved to the United States in 2016.

We had such a wonderful experience with Ben and his 2nd photographer, Zee for our August wedding. Ben was very on-the-ball and reliable during the whole wedding process; he communicates clearly and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed taking all the photos. He has incredible talent and our wedding album was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined or hoped for. Photography is such an important wedding aspect, and there's no one else I would've felt so comfortable holding that responsibility than Ben. Ben and Zee captured every little moment and emotion felt on our wedding day and I'm grateful we will be able to relive the day through their photos. I will definitely be recommending Ben to my friends and family for their weddings and any photoshoot needs!

For whatever reason, you're here on my page, and I feel SO honored to be one of the photographers you're considering to document one of the most incredible days of your life. THANK YOU. I want you to know, I do things a lil differently. My goal isn't just to document how you looked. It's to document what your love FEELS like. You know that stiff, awkward posing? Yeah. I'm so not about that. You can say bye to those cringy photos and hey to crying + laughing your head off, to dancing + snugglin up, to chasing + holding. Because those are the moments that make a life + I'm here to document your love and life how it looks and really feels.

Lauren was so on top of things when it came to the actual shoot! She came prepared with anything we may need - safety pins, bobby pins, a blanket to set on so my dress wouldn't get dirty, and even feminine products!! She already had poses in mind for us to do and knew what would look good and what wouldn't, but she also encouraged us to be ourselves and caught the most beautiful candid moments. She took into consideration that we wanted pictures up close of us as well as further out to capture the beauty of our surroundings. She made us feel comfortable and there was never an awkward moment. She is so sweet, thoughtful and talented!! The pictures turned out SO so great and I'm more than happy with the results. I would 10/10 recommend Lauren to anyone as their wedding photographer as well as a photographer for other occasions! She is by far the BEST!!

As someone who spends most of my time BEHIND the lens (I'm also a photographer) I was a little nervous getting in FRONT of it for our couples session... Shannon immediately crushed those nerves with her energy, excitement, and direction. My husband and I had an absolute BLAST frolicking around the Oregon Coast with her during our sunrise session. We had the privilege of getting to know Shannon and her husband in the days prior to our session and all I can say is they are such beautiful people - inside and out. The moments she captured for us are so true to who we are and I am forever grateful to have these memories.
