Taylor Anne Neel Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves San Rafael, CA for additional fees

Hi I’m Taylor Anne! She/her! I’m a published editorial fashion and wedding photographer based out of Dallas, Texas! I knew for certain that I wanted to be a photographer on a trip to Paris with my mom in 2005. I had a small little point and shoot digital camera that I used to take photos of literally everything around the city. I got artistic with the sunset over the Seine, and caught a couple having a romantic moment on the bridge. It was then that I said to myself, “Oh, I actually kind of like this,” and began the process of photographing for the next 16 years.

We got married almost a year ago at this point and we cannot begin to describe how great working with Taylor was. She was always SO on top of everything. She is incredibly prompt with her responses and was able to answer any questions we had. Scheduling with her was a breeze (even when the weather never cooperated with us & we had to reschedule engagement photos). She used many different photography styles (digital, film, etc.). Our photos & videos turned out BEAUTIFUL! She is truly an artist!!! We adore her timeless style and eye for the finest details. She captured our day exactly how we had envisioned. We will cherish these special photos for the rest of our lives and look forward to working with Taylor again in the future!

I started photography in high school and haven’t stopped since! 13 years later and I’ve crafted my passion to my full time business. I love capturing people in love, portrait sessions, and surprise proposals! I'm born and raised in Austin, Texas- so you'll often see me photographing around town. But I travel to Colorado often and California as well! Passport ready.

I'm a photographer, duh. But I'm also a wife and mother & that's what I pride myself on the most. Being creative sparks something inside of me that brings me pure joy.

I'm always down to get funky and try new things. I love helping you bring your visions to life. Have a Pinterest board? Send me that, baby!

Kali is amazing!! My husband and I were both nervous for our first photoshoot (which was our engagement session) but she was so relaxed & laid back she easily helped us get over that feeling. We thought we were going to look awkward in our photos but her prompts/poses made for outstanding photos. At our wedding she captured so many meaningful candid pictures as well as posed photos. These memories will last forever! Her editing work is truly wonderful too, I don’t know what she does it but it’s magic. She is someone you can put all of your faith in to capture the best memories from your special event.

I’m not a posed kinda gal, I believe in capturing you two as you are and telling your story. I believe in approaching my clients as friends and fostering a connection between us to better be able to tell your story. Right from the moment you hire me, I’m there to help you through the whole planning process. Finding outfits that fit yall, helping dream of a location that helps tell your story, and guiding yall through our session. If it’s your wedding, I’m here to help you make your wedding the most you. Be your advocate. I’m in your corner. I know all the best and LGBTQ+ friendly vendors in the business.

Nadine is hands down the most incredible photographer and artist. She has such a unique eye and style, and I knew immediately I wanted her to be our photographer because I had never seen anything quite like the art she creates. Beyond the photographs, she creates a space for you and your partner to really be yourselves - having your portraits taken by Nadine is like hanging out with that super cool human you met that one time at that one concert and had the time of your life adventuring with until 3 am. You don't even notice the time passing, and then you're left with both the experience itself and the beautiful photos afterward. Nadine is a gift to the world, and I can't wait to find a million more reasons to hire her again!

I’m an introverted extrovert. And although I’m a terrible singer, I love to chant my favorite songs – everything from T. Swift to hip hop – when I’m in the car! I love tiramisu and coffee with too much milk. Scarves are one of my must-have accessories! I’m addicted to design of all kinds – interior, landscape, graphic, food, fashion, all of it. Childhood memories include Strawberry Shortcake dolls, Fashion Plates, and Fruity Pebbles cereal. And I always had a camera nearby, just like my Dad. Little did I know what an impact these early days would have on my future!

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephanie is so awesome!! She was able to capture every moment on our day, big and small! Aside from the obvious talent she has to take amazing pictures- she’s an even better person and so fun to work with! She also has so much knowledge about weddings, and she really helped our day run smoothly.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is not only an incredible artist but an incredible person. She is incredibly thoughtful and has an amazing eye for documenting her couples in a unique and creative perspective. Kathleen is a delight to work with and her couples absolutely love her. Not only for the art she creates, but her couples know they will have the best time working with her. Kathleen makes you feel like an instant friend, and it's because you are! I absolutely recommend Kathleen.

Sufia Huq Portraits

  • Editorial style

  • Serves San Rafael, CA for additional fees

I’m a Sunshine State native, a Pisces, and a lover of the outdoors. Photography is my favorite way to connect with people. The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank Sufia enough, for the beautiful photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. I was so nervous to take photos, as I hate having my photo taken at all, that I delayed it for so long. Now, I wish I hadn’t! I’m just seriously blown away, Sufia made me feel like a model! And she was able to capture the love we have for one another in every photo. Not only is she obviously gifted with a talent to really capture people at their most beautiful, but she is such a wonderful person to I have to say I can’t recommend Sufia Huq Portraits highly enough. She has photographed so many important milestones for my family but she truly rose above and beyond all of my expectations as a wedding photographer. I initially hired Sufia for my engagement photos but after seeing how perfect they turned out, I knew she was the only person I could trust with my wedding! On the day of my wedding it truly felt like everything was going wrong. It was raining. I got second degree burns on my chest from a steamer. I had vendors threatening to leave and the catering company stealing my food. The ONE thing that eased the stress of that day was my incredible photographer. Despite how stressed I was, Sufia managed to bring me back into the moment and to capture timeless portraits of my wedding day with my husband, closest friends, and family. When I look back through the photos of my wedding day (which I do often because I’m obsessed), I don’t think about all of the craziness. I think about those precious moments Sufia captured for me. Sufia was more than just a photographer that day. She was a cheerleader. She was a hype woman. She was a friend. She was more than just accommodating. She was flexible. She was dependable. She was KIND. Sufia is an amazing human being with an amazing talent. A wedding day is a huge deal. Sufia Huq Portraits will not disappoint in quality or in kindness.

Hi I'm Jackie, and I literally love my job! I’m a New England-based photographer for the last 18 years. I have to admit though, I love taking this one woman show on the road and travel makes me the happiest. I have been lucky enough to shoot destination weddings in England, Iceland, and Alaska. I would describe my photography style as very laid back and natural. The little in between moments make for the best photos, and I’m not about capturing awkward prom poses and forced smiles. I want the real stuff - the stuff that’ll make you laugh till your cheeks hurt and will make your heart beat faster.

Jackie was absolutely wonderful working with us, especially with changes due to COVID. She was so understanding and thoughtful that it really made any problems we faced with COVID that much easier. She will put in more time and effort than needed and it will show because our photos came out stunning. I am absolutely in love with them. She will make sure what you want is taken care of and then go above and beyond. I cannot even tell you how easy she made our wedding day. We had no worries when it came to our photos! I would recommend her to everyone!

With a passion for blending editorial sophistication and candid spontaneity, I have honed my craft over the last 6 years, capturing the laughter, tears, and all the tender moments in between. The commitment I make to you extends beyond photography. My meticulous approach begins with anticipating your needs even before they arise, ensuring a seamless, elegant experience. I hold the value of family close to my heart, treating your loved ones as if they were my own, collaborating harmoniously with your vendors, and providing clear communication to ensure your day unfolds flawlessly.

If you're looking at these reviews, I am assuming you are interested in booking Kayla as your wedding photgrapher, and all I have to say is DO IT. Kayla is amazing. She photographed both mine and my brothers weddings. Here are a few things I loved most about having Kayla as my photographer (from a bride)! 1) stress free. Kayla asks for your input and list of wanted photos weeks leading up to the wedding. She then creates a list for day of and takes care of the rest. I did not have to do a single thing managing what photos I wanted the day of my wedding. It allowed me to really enjoy the moment and be present (which is exactly what I wanted). 2) natural candid photos. Kayla does an amazing job of getting your natural smile in photos. I loved my photos. 3) SO many good photos. Kayla provided us with SO many photos to choose from. This allowed me to print off a variety so I didnt have the same few photos all over my house. 4) Comfort. Kayla did an amazing job making me and my husband feel comfortable day of and in the photos. 5) made my vision come true! With both venues we booked, I had a vision of wanting to use the entire venue to allow for different photos opportunities. One of the ideas I had were 'getting ready' photos with my husband in the kitchen. Kayla made my vision more than come true. These are some of my favorite photos she took, and allowed my husband and I to spend time together before walking down the aisle. I am a very picky person, but I would do everything all over again the same exact way for my wedding, including having Kayla as the photographer. I could not recommend Kayla enough!

  • Serves San Rafael, CA for additional fees

I found my passion early in life and was crazy enough to pursue the idea of sharing it with the world. I don’t believe in such a thing as “too much” when it comes to expressions of love – especially when it’s a wedding! I earned my bachelors and masters degrees in photojournalism from the University of Missouri, *cough cough* known as the best journalism school in the nation. Throughout my schooling, I trained closely with award-winning photojournalists Rita Reed and David Rees, and I’ve worked with organizations like the Washington Post and USA Today. In my limited spare time, you can find me hiking in the mountains or eating Del Taco.

Working with Amber was an incredible decision. She is so talented and beyond kind. We first met Amber virtually and instantly connected to her. While we were planning on a couples shoot, my now fiancé and her were in cahoots for him to propose. She had even brought a bottle of bubbly to take cute pictures and celebrate! Amber was incredibly communicative, excited, and kind. Beyond a photographer, she is a hype woman and a wealth of knowledge/advise that she's more than willing to share. She sent sneak peeks 30 minutes after the shoot! And they were nothing short of MAGIC. I was at the edge of my seat for the full set, which she delivered EARLY. While taking photos, she captured romance, excitement, and even our goofiness. I can't recommend her enough.

I have been a full time photographer for a little over a year now but, have been shooting for a little over five. Over the years, I have learned, grown, and perfected my craft as a photographer. I want my clients to leave our sessions feeling bold, confident, authentic, and ultimately having a blast while doing it. Posing for photos can only get us so far, so I create an environment for those genuine, raw, candid moments.

Kennedy Miller is an amazing photographer and person!! She is one of the BEST! She arrived on time and went straight to work getting all the small yet very important detail shots prior to ceremony and during the ceremony and reception. Kennedy and her team always make sure they captured all the special moments and even the impromptu ones throughout the day. As a wedding planner it’s hard to find a great photographer who is talented, easy to serve with and such a joy to be around. We highly recommend Kennedy Miller Photo to all our brides!

My portfolio is a canvas that dances with diversity – a rich tapestry woven from both film and digital techniques. Embracing new trends and technologies, I blend the nostalgic allure of film with the precision of digital artistry, resulting in a mesmerizing fusion that speaks to the modern soul. Whether it's the classic charm of analog or the cutting-edge allure of pixels, my work resonates with a richness that only true connoisseurs can appreciate.

Anna was an exceptionally on-point photographer who really cared about making our day special. We were very happy with the photos that came out, as were our chosen family and friends who attended!! She was very communicative, helpful, and engaging with us as a couple. She made sure that we were happy with everything and worked around our particular requests--she generated a specific schedule for us that made the day run smoothly and easily and I wouldn't have asked for anything better!! It was truly a perfect day. Would highly recommend her to all my friends! Thank you, Anna!!

I’m Carmela, a wedding photographer based in Arizona but will travel anywhere for love! I am married to my sweet husband and we are parents to two of the most adorable dogs that we rescued. I am a lover of all things outdoorsy and get fueled and inspired by beautiful desert sunsets, windy mountain tops, and that fresh forest air. I feel so blessed to be able to travel as a full time photographer to breathtaking destinations for weddings and elopements. I have had the wonderful opportunity to meet and become great friends with many AMAZING people along the way and hope to be able to meet YOU and hear your story. Let’s adventure together!

I am so happy I found Carmela, we have had the best experience and the quality of her photos is truly amazing!! Me and my husband had never had a professional photo shoot done together so our engagement shoot with Carmela was the first, we were so nervous but Carmela made us feel SO comfortable and made it so much fun, and the pictures turned out amazing!! Fast forward to wedding day, she was everyone's biggest hype woman and captured everything so perfectly. Not only is her editing style so beautiful but her communication, quality of work, and kindness make working with her so fun and easy. We will 100% be booking with her for all future photo shoots, I could go on and on about how amazing she is, if you are looking for a wedding photographer - Carmela is THE BEST!!

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! 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.)

It Clicks Photo is simply the best! They were one of the first vendors that we picked and it was the easiest choice! The photos are bright, cheery and have a timeless quality to them! Our first meeting with Erika was over Zoom, which was so convenient, and we knew almost immediately that she was the person we wanted to spend our wedding day with! Erika has a bright, calm energy which is what any bride needs on her big day. Sarah was so chill and sweet. Together, Erika and Sara were one stellar duo! We cannot say anough good about them. We received a sneak peek that night and and extended sneak peek before our honeymoon! We were able to request edits, but the pictures were so great, the only edits I really requested were silly things like fixing my worn lipstick! I have so many great things to say, but the pictures are all you need to make a decision! Book them now!

Hi there! Thank you so much for checking out my photography. My name is Ivy, and I'm a Photographer based in Utah. I’ve spent a few years building my knowledge of lighting, editing, and posing so that I can provide the best service to my clients! I am excited to work with you and document your most cherished moments. I love having mini adventures with you, and creating beautiful moments that you’ll cherish forever. Although I’m based in Utah, I love traveling, and I’m excited to capture your “once in a lifetimes” wherever you are! My style emphasizes intimate moments, and capturing genuine emotions. Think: “dreamy, elegant, timeless.”

Awarded Best of Zola
Ivy is the most amazing photographer/stand in best friend a bride could ask for! She was so professional, but it also felt like we were lifelong friends, and she knew EXACTLY what I wanted. She made sure I was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. Ivy went above and beyond, and she got gorgeous, dreamy pictures of us; I cannot recommend her enough! I’m not usually photogenic, and I’m generally uncomfortable in front of a camera, but she made it seem like a conversation with a friend instead of a photo shoot, I was laughing so hard and forgot that she was even taking pictures. She lead us so well, and when I was going through the gallery, I had SO MANY favorites, and that never happens for me! I’m so happy that I had Ivy as my photographer, and that I have her gorgeous photos to remind me of the best day of my life!

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.

Shaun Baker is San Diego’s Premier Wedding Photographer. Shaun grew up studying film/television and the art of story telling. “I love people and I am fascinated by the way we interact. I love the stories that each of us carry around. That’s what makes us all great. I have a need to capture the individuals raw emotions and give it back in a beautiful way. “When the camera is in my hand, normalcy is the furthest thing from my mind. It is normal for me to be in a tree, on a rooftop, or laying on the ground during a wedding so I am always in the best position to get the most creative shot possible. I'm always striving to exceed expectations.

Awarded Best of Zola
My family has always cherished photos, so I placed a lot of importance on hiring an ace-level photographer for our wedding. And the first time I came across Shaun’s photos online I literally gasped out loud at his stunning work. He truly captured the couples’ and guests’ emotions—and he did the same for ours. Shaun and his partner Annie, of course, took the pre-planned photos we had asked for, but the joy was in the unstaged moments they captured. The photos of our mothers hugging with tears in their eyes, of my grandma dancing and whooping with my friends at the reception, of my now-husband kissing my forehead during our first dance…. they captured moments and emotions we didn’t see or realize were happening that day the first time around, and their work is priceless to us. They put our families at ease with their humor and professionalism, and it was fun to watch them come up with creative ways to capture moments, but it never felt intrusive. Shaun and Annie also completed our photo editing in a fraction of the time that was agreed to in the contract, and sweetened the (short) waiting period with a handful of sneak-peek photos, as well as a 10 minute video slideshow of some of the best photos set to music. It was a lovely way to share memories of the day with friends and family who couldn’t make it and wanted to feel a part of the event. We would recommend them to anyone.
