She put us at ease making sure everything we wanted to capture throughout the day was taken care of. She even helped us prior to the day of answering our questions and creating a shot list for us to give us a glimpse of how the day would be. After the craziness of the day one of things our family and friends kept commenting about is how professional and great she was during the wedding, which was amazing to hear.

The most consistent feedback I get from my couples is that I put them at ease. Almost everyone is uncomfortable in front of the camera, but that’s why I’m there — to help you look and feel great creating memories.

With me, you get someone who can go with the flow, has your back, and seamlessly adapts to the energy in the room.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Jen on a styled shoot, and I cannot express enough how wonderful the experience was. From start to finish, Jen demonstrated a level of professionalism that truly sets her apart in the world of photography. First and foremost, the end result speaks volumes about Jen's talent. The photos she captured during our styled shoot were nothing short of stunning. Her ability to manipulate light, composition, and color is truly remarkable. Each image was a work of art, and I was left in awe of her skill as I flipped through the final gallery. Jen has a knack for capturing not just moments, but emotions and atmosphere, making her photos come alive in the most extraordinary way. What sets Jen apart even further is her clear and unique vision. It was evident throughout our collaboration that she had a well-defined style and a creative perspective that breathed life into our project. Her ability to conceptualize and execute her ideas is a testament to her artistic prowess. Jen's photographs have a certain magic to them, a distinctive quality that makes them stand out in a crowded field. Working with Jen was an absolute delight. Her friendly and approachable demeanor put everyone at ease during the shoot, fostering a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. It's evident that she genuinely loves what she does, and this passion radiates through her work. Jen's enthusiasm is infectious, and it was impossible not to have fun during our time together.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Hello! I'm Natalie, a passionate documentary photographer dedicated to capturing the authentic and heartfelt moments of your special day. My approach to wedding photography is all about storytelling. I believe the most beautiful photos come from genuine, unscripted moments that reflect the true emotions and unique story of each individual couple. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me spending time with my family, traveling to new places, or just cuddled up with a good show and a comfy blanket. I’m always inspired by the beauty of everyday moments and bring this inspiration into my work.

Working with Natalie was a dream. It can be overwhelming having a camera on you and all this attention on you but Natalie carries herself with such a beautiful energy that puts you at ease. She really helps pose you and feel comfortable and before you know it you’re posing on your own. The confidence really shows in her images. My husband and I couldn’t be more happy with our photos! Can’t wait to work with her again, would recommend to all of my friends!

I'm a houseplant enthusiast, traveler (no place is too far), enneagram 4, binge-watcher of The Office, ice cream lover, and introvert fascinated by human emotion + connection. Photographing weddings has truly been my dream job, and I feel so honored every time I'm invited to capture intimate moments in peoples’ lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittney is a gem of a photographer and a shining star of a person. She captured our wedding more beautifully than either of us could have imagined or wished for. Being photographed by her feels like hanging out with your chillest, most talented friend, who knows how to work ALL your angles. Aside from being talented and kind, she radiates the coolest, most calming vibes throughout every situation. We shot our engagement photos outside on a cold, rainy day and somehow Brittney managed to make us feel like it was warm and sunny. Throughout the course of our wedding day, she kept us calm and on schedule, making everything feel like an effortless breeze. But Brittney is so much more than a photographer. Even in the time leading up to our wedding, she was there to answer all questions and give suggestions about everything wedding related. She answers her e-mails so promptly and comprehensively, and is always willing to jump on the phone to talk it out. Brittney provided so much priceless guidance when we didn't know who else to look to. Ultimately, Brittney is the full package. I'd say triple threat, but she's much more than that. She's not only a really good photographer, but she's a really good person. TLDR; Hire Brittney, it'll be the best wedding decision you make (aside from marrying your spouse, I guess).

I have a love for travel and I'm obsessed with my dog and two cats. I enjoy lots of raw, sassy humor and a little bit of sarcasm. Tequila is my go-to... all the margaritas please! The desert is where you’ll find me on any given day. There’s something so magical about that place, am I right? I love learning the little weird things about my couples and bringing out the corkiness. We all have it! If you like what you’re reading, maybe I'm the one!

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I wanted to work with Kellie after she did my friends wedding video a few years back. We had a tight budget and she worked with us to create a highlight video for our ceremony so that we could have a video of the most important part of our day. She is very professional and came up with unique shot ideas (detail shots, dancing, active poses, etc.). The video turned out beautifully and feels unique to us and our special day. I am forever grateful for the experience I had with Kellie and the video she created for us. She is so driven and talented! Highly recommend and if you are debating getting a video or not (as I know it’s not in everyone’s budget) I would advise you to just go for it as I can’t imagine not having the video. I would have regretted it so much! Just do it…and go with Kellie too, she’s the best!

While I do not replace a wedding coordinator, my duties to you on your day, do overlap. I want to make sure that you enjoy every moment and that after you have stunning photos to fondly look back on.

Why have a wedding day coordinator, when you can have Kristy??? I hired Kristy knowing the work would be phenomenal, but did not know how she ran the show! I had a day of coordinator who was also my florist. Girl, was no where to be found when I needed her and asked me too many question day of that I repeated told her to ask my made of honor. When Kristy showed up, Kristy had a plan and activated the plan. Her timing was down to a T! She made friends with the other vendors, kept everyone on a schedule, and helped me feel utterly calm on a stressful day. HIRE. KRISTY. Her quality is great, delivery is timely, and she knows the workings of your day no matter how simple to complex your wedding day is.

During our wedding weekend, he had a clear vision of how our photos should turn out, and he made sure to capture the perfect shots. George is very detail-oriented and ensured that every moment was beautifully captured. He and his team got along with my family and friends wonderfully, and everyone was impressed with his professionalism. After our wedding, he communicated the timeline for delivering the final photos and met the deadline as promised. The photos came out absolutely stunning and everyone is so impressed with his work.

A time capsule of who you are and how you love. Captured on digital, 35mm, and medium format. For those looking for memories, not just images. I am a photographer who is about keeping things fun and lighthearted, reminiscing on moments between you and your partner as well as helping create new ones. My goal is for you to be present on your day and to receive images that aren't just art, but memories to keep. Your images are meant to represent you and that's what I do.

I’m so glad that we found Elita! She did such a stunning job with our engagement and wedding photos and she was so accommodating with our tight timeline! From the very beginning she provided great ideas to help plan our big day and she was super flexible when weather wasn’t ideal for our engagement photos. She was very communicative and easy to get ahold of too. She made our engagement photo session so much fun so that we got beautiful photos and a great memory all in one! She provided so many sneak peaks that were ready the morning after our engagement photo session and the morning after our wedding so that when we woke up we got to see some of the results right away! Elita did such an amazing job capturing exactly how we were feeling in all of the photos she took. So many guests at our wedding mentioned how sweet she was and how much they liked her too! Generally I feel really awkward in front of a camera but Elita did a great job putting us at ease and giving us prompts that were fun and didn’t feel forced. The photos turned out so dreamy I can hardly even believe they’re ours. She captured all the feelings so perfectly, plus moments and details that I didn’t even realize she caught! It has been so fun going through all of our photos and remembering every bit of our wedding day. She’s seriously so amazing and I’m so happy that we have these beautiful photos to look back on. We can’t wait to work with Elita again because she is so good at what she does and she’s been a pleasure!

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

As a wedding planner, I get the opportunity to work with many photographers. BY FAR, Kristina Lee Photography is my all-time favorite! Not only does she have an artistic eye for capturing moments, but she also makes the couples feel comfortable and relaxed. Kristina also is a team player with the rest of the vendors. Her turn around time for images is like no other. The generosity of what she pours into her craft and service is admirable! Kristina is both professional and playful which clients love and trust! I have no hesitation in recommending Kristina Lee Photography. As a matter of fact, I highly encourage it! You'll have the best pictures with the most delightful photographer!
