I am a Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer based in Hartford, Connecticut. I take you on a journey of Storytelling through Capturing Memories. In my journey with photography, you will be able to immerse yourself in that feeling of exploring a new place for the very first time, to freeze and re-live the moment forever. My journey started in Australia. Love of photography and always searching for a new adventure let me do weddings, engagement, and many other aspects of photography. My passion is photography every time I shoot an event.

Kani was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. Their communication style is easygoing, responsive, and accommodating. Kani was flexible in tailoring the photography timeline to our preferences. The quality of their work is outstanding - the photos beautifully capture genuine emotions and special moments with artistic composition. We wanted to do something unique for our engagement shoot that required significant travel. Despite flight delays that made for an extra long day, Kani maintained a positive attitude and took time to get fantastic photos in multiple locations that we'll treasure.

Justine Bursoni Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA for additional fees

Since 2008, I’ve found myself as a professional photographer who strives to capture life, in all of its twists + turns, candidly. In addition to taking pictures, I am: the owner of The Made Fest, a handmade + vintage festival; in love with my husband; a co-founder of Smile Politely, a Champaign-Urbana local culture magazine and The Pygmalion Festival; a master gardener; an epicurean; and a mother. I am a feminist and a LGBTIAQ ally.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't recommend Justine enough, from her professionalism, to her artistry she is a dream to work with. As a photographer myself, I am nervous, awkward, and admittedly particular about having photos of myself taken. With Justine at the help myself, my partner and all of our guests were at ease and the images she captured fully represent the vibrant and loving nature of our ceremony and celebration. Thank you Justine for being exactly who you are and doing what you do so beautifully. You have captured for us moments we will cherish forever.

Welcome. I have been photographing brides for the last 15 years. I love being able to tell the story of the couple's love throughout the day. The little intimate moments are super important for me to catch. I love capturing the excitement as well but nothing compares to a sweet tender moment between a groom and his bride. Pushing a tendril of hair out of her face, smiling seeing her walking down the aisle, a single tear during the vows.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was a pleasure working with Crystal and her team from Pure Images Photography. They arrived early and had the day planned. They were professional and friendly, arrived with enthusiasm, connected with the guest therefore were able to bring out the best in everyone which captured gorgeous photography. I definitely recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Trinity Marie Photography specializes in capturing the magic of weddings, one frame at a time. Why are we the perfect fit? 1. Storytelling: We aim to capture genuine emotions, the fleeting glances, and the heartfelt moments that make your day uniquely yours. 2.

I am not a girl that loves getting pictures taken of myself, but I LOVE looking at the pictures she took!! She was so professional, energetic, and talented! She got the best shots and captured and memories and emotions. Her turnover time for the pics was incredible! She gave us a sneak peak and then supplied us with tons of pictures so quickly. She is the only photographer I will ever use. Can’t stress enough how fabulous she is.

Lark & Lavender

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA for additional fees

I love colorful, full of fun, romantic, true-to-you weddings! A little about me, Ariel! I can't live without love, beautiful in-season flowers all over my house and adventure. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings for the past 10 years; over 200 weddings!

Ariel shot my husband and I's Long Beach art district engagement session and our Joshua Tree anniversary shoot. I wasn't lucky enough to have Ariel photograph my actual wedding, but hopefully, you will be able to swoop her up because she is a gem! The testament to a great wedding photographer isn't just that they capture beautiful photos, but that they communicate and listen to you as a couple and make you feel at ease. Ariel is incredibly professional and makes sure she understands what you want out of your images, while also bringing her expertise and experience to capture those special moments that will bring you joy. You are in safe hands with Ariel if you're not comfortable in front of the camera or are afraid of looking awkward because she takes the time to help bring out that natural smile and loosen you up. I know this because I'm a self-proclaimed adorkable person who can get super awkward in front of a camera, and Ariel has a way of gently suggesting a better angle/shot or inspiring a more natural smile. She doesn't just click a button but is looking at the photo she is capturing to ensure she is snapping a beautiful image. Ariel also doesn't heavily treat her images with dramatic filters. She just brings out the beautiful colors and light of the day. If you want simply beautiful images, Lark & Lavender is the way to go! When you hire Lark & Lavender, you're not just hiring a wedding photographer but a creative artist who has a vision for capturing every beautiful and memorable moment of your day, plus she just makes you instantly feel relaxed and at ease which is essential on what can sometimes be a very stressful day.

With 10 years of experience, Cassaundra began her photography journey at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire as a Fine Arts student majoring in Photography. During her time in college, she assisted and second shot for many wedding's and events. In 2014, Cassaundra moved to Arizona on a whim and began her own photography business.

In her free time, she enjoys hiking, martial arts, and doing art with her daughter.

My engagement shoot was INCREDIBLE thanks to Cassaundra's vision! We shot at a beautiful Malibu beach during the sunset and she was reassuring, creative, and communicative throughout the process. Our photos were such a hit with my family, that we used her for our wedding and my sister also enlisted her services for her civil ceremony. Cassaundra has become our family photographer!

I hope you look back on your photos and see things that you remember, but also get to see moments you might have missed.

I loved working with Hayley. As an Officiant, I know the importance of making a couple feel comfortable and heard. Hayley does just that for and with her couples.

Cinematic photography and videography that tells your unique love story. As experienced wedding photographers and videographers, and a happily married couple ourselves, we specialize in capturing these magic moments. Through expert craftsmanship and creativity, we tell your unique love story through the lens of your big day, surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones. We shoot with the camera, but we see with the heart, striking just the right balance between artfully posed shots and those real, raw, spontaneous, and vulnerable moments that make the day unforgettable. The result is a collection of stunning, true-to-you photographs....

There are photographers and videographers, and then there are artists like Kelly and Filippo, the extraordinary wife/husband duo who were nothing short of the cherry on top of our wedding day. From the get-go, their professionalism shone through. We were running behind schedule, but Kelly and Filippo didn't just adapt; they thrived, prepping early and ensuring every precious 'getting ready' moment was captured beautifully. Their ability to pivot with us under pressure was nothing short of remarkable. But it wasn't just their flexibility that impressed us. Their excitement, artistic vision, fun energy, and invaluable guidance throughout the day created a bond with us that went beyond the typical photographer-client relationship. They didn't just photograph and film our wedding; they added to the joy and spirit of the celebration. Every frame they captured, every moment they filmed, is a treasure that we'll cherish forever. The way they encapsulated the essence of our love and the vibrancy of our celebration in their work is a testament to their incredible talent. Kelly and Filippo, we can't thank you enough for not just being a part of our wedding day but for elevating it to a level we couldn't have imagined. We're not just grateful; we're excited to be lifelong clients, eagerly looking forward to having you capture more milestones in our lives. Thank you for turning our special day into a beautifully preserved memory. You both are truly exceptional!

There is nothing better than truly being able to see how your guests enjoyed the wedding, along with their unscripted , raw emotion.

At Eisley Images we are actively anti-racist by learning and unlearning our own biases and learned behavior. We are actively trying to make the wedding industry we are a part of more inclusive, kind, and part of the larger discussion at hand. As consumers ourselves, we deeply appreciate knowing WHO we are investing our money in. We want to be upfront and unapologetic about who we are, and what values we deeply believe in.

We reached out to Christy almost immediately after booking our venue (18 months before our wedding), and are so happy we did! We had a great engagement shoot - something we didn't think we needed/wanted but she convinced us that it was worth it and it was! When the pandemic hit, Christy was flexible and kind as we figured out how to change our wedding plans. We decided to have a super small, outdoor wedding at a family house with as many precautions and safety measures as possible and only 12 us total. Christy felt like a member of our family as she captured the most beautiful photos of our day! She was one of the only vendors on our wedding day and we are SO happy she was there with us! On top of Christy's awesomeness as a person, our photos are better than we ever could have imagined! We have the most beautiful photos to remember our intimidate wedding by and will cherish forever. Our family members who attended love them, too - and having such beautiful images to share with our friends and family who couldn't attend has been so great. Our wedding day was so much better than we could have imaged, and having Christy capture our day made it even better!

As a husband and wife duo, we are passionate about creating unique photos and videos with a timeless appeal. Our style blends natural tones with artistic creativity and dramatic lighting, ensuring your special moments are captured in a way that’s both elegant and unforgettable.

B Turner Photography did an INCREDIBLE job for my wedding! I bought the 10 hour package to get getting ready all the way through to night time shots and they did amazing work. They were kind to my family and friends, detail-oriented when setting up photos, and I LOVE the end results! Likewise my family and friends mentioned quite a few times how great the photographers were during the wedding. I wasn't the thinnest bride on the planet, so I was a little nervous that I would love photos of everyone else and not love the photos of me. Bonnie and Brad took more than enough candid and posed shots that I had a huge variety to choose from and now have 2 full albums worth of photos I adore :). I highly recommend B Turner Photography for your wedding! They were great to work with and the photo quality is perfect.

I am a destination wedding & elopement photographer + planner based in New Mexico. I am originally from the small college town of Lexington, Kentucky, but before long my family moved to Toronto, Canada. Fast forward a handful of years, we moved to Nashville where I finished up elementary school and attended high school. I graduated from UTK in the spring of May 2020 with a BS in marketing and a collateral in entrepreneurship. After graduation I moved down to Florida to be with my partner who is stationed in the area and this past year we got moved to NM! I am an avid traveler & learner!

We loved working with Audrey. She had great energy and fit perfectly into our day. She was an awesome communicator and we met multiple times throughout the planning process to ensure we were all on the same page. She was super flexible, professional, and above all, intentional, with photographing our wedding day. We went into the day confident all of our sacred, special moments would be captured. We loved her style and vision and could not be happier with her work. It is an honor to look back on our day through her eyes yet feel all of the emotions and feelings we felt on our wedding day.

We're wedding & elopement photographers who have spent the last 15 years traveling all over the US for our couples! We're relocating to Las Vegas from Atlanta this year, and are so excited to spend more time doing what we love - making incredible images and giving a killer wedding day experience to each and every one of our clients. Whether you're planning an elaborate, traditional wedding day or an elopement in the desert, we're here for you. We're the photographers who will make you laugh, carry your flowers, make sure you hydrate, and will give you priceless photos you'll treasure forever.

I cannot recommend Lauren enough! My husband and I visited Death Valley NP a few years ago and could not have imagined we would get the opportunity to have a photo shoot there… Lauren made it possible for us. Aside from the fact that it was hot, there was limited places to stay, and no cell service, Lauren planned and executed this day flawlessly. She camped out the night before and even drove our videographer around the park with her. Lauren took the lead and really went out of her way. On top of all this, the photos she delivered were stunning. She’s an absolute gem of a photographer and person. We highly recommend Lauren for your next photo shoot!

An artist at heart, I love styling and shooting timeless images that will look beautiful for years to come. Photojournalistic style photography captures life's candid and most beautiful moments. Unplanned and unposed often become my clients' favorite! The overall composition of the photo is important to me so I spend extra time to make you (and your surroundings) look your best!

I would highly recommend Linen & Elm! Jeanette and Avery were great to work with. They captured every detail of the day just perfectly. The editing was perfect! We are in love with our pictures and would definitely use them for future events.

In Full Detail Photography // Gina Ribando 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA for additional fees

Hey! I'm Gina :) I am a destination elopement photographer based out of NYC. I love to travel and adventure with my clients. I also specialize in elopements, engagements and lifestyle photography sessions. A little bit about my approach... I want to be your hype girl, your friend, your dad joke supplier, your drinking buddy, your best third wheel, and oh! your photographer. There is a lot of mushy gushy stuff out there and that’s all great but not everyone is coming in hot with some fairytale story of love. They just love the shit out of each other and want someone to document that love and the celebration that goes along with it.

Gina was an absolute dream to work with. The photos we received were gorgeous. Gina has an incredible eye for unique shots. My fiancé and I loved that she was so efficient. She kept us moving and we had a great time doing so. We highly recommend using In Full Detail for your photo needs!!!

Bethany Wolf Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA for additional fees

A true adventure junkie. As soon as I see a photo of a beautiful landscape, I'm ready to roll. I've traveled to 26 states, visited 14 National Parks, and have lived in 6 states! For 25 years of life, I say I'm doing pretty good with the whole 'experience' aspect. Along the way I've managed to accumulate 4 amazing pets. A Pitty, German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, and a REALLY cute cat. On a normal day, you can find me slumped in front of my computer, burying myself in my work (I'm obsessed okay) with some show playing in the background. I love cooking new recipes and feeding my loved ones (probably just as much as I love capturing your love).

I don't even know where to start! A few years back I found Bethany's photography page on Facebook, I loved her work so much that I have been following her since then. When the time came that I needed to plan for my own wedding this year, I did not think twice and reached out to her as soon as we got the final date of our wedding. At that time, I did not even know where the celebration would be or what theme/colors we will choose for our wedding. I booked her even before finding my own wedding dress! Trevor and I literally only had three months to prep for a whole wedding. I just knew in my heart that I had to book her first before anything else! She sent us a long questionnaire so that she can have an overview of who we are as a couple and to find out what we expect from her. This showed that she makes all her services very personal. The first time Trevor and I met her were during our Engagement shoot. That day was THE most stressful because there were thunderstorms, and our shoot was going to be outdoors. Bethany has been so responsive while monitoring the weather every hour and mind you- she had to travel from NC to VA that day and was very punctual. We ended up going for the shoot because the rain stopped, and it ended up PERFECT! Trevor and I never had the experience to have a professional photoshoot done before, but Bethany made it so easy for us. She gave us cues on what to do and she just captured raw emotions which accurately reflected Trevor and I’s relationship. It was very fun and natural- no awkward moments at all! Here’s the best part- She sent me the sneak peeks of our photoshoot right on the next day! I didn’t have to wait for so long to see some photos and those kept me patient while she worked on the rest of the photos for the weeks to come. The sixth week came, and she sent me all the photos and we were just so obsessed with them! I even had one printed out on a large canvas as our welcome sign for our big day! Bethany went ABOVE AND BEYOND and created a program for our wedding which was very helpful for our wedding planning. She wanted to make sure that everyone (videographer, DJ and MC) will be on board and all the activities will fit on the timeline. On our wedding day, we were running late because of hair and make-up and Bethany stayed calm and still took the best prep wedding photos. She captured everything from the church ceremony, outdoor photos during cocktail hour, and the whole reception. I made the perfect decision to book her for the whole 8 hours. It was well worth it. Since she specializes in outdoor/destination weddings, our indoor ceremony and reception photos still DID NOT disappoint. She captured our emotions as well as of our guests, details of the wedding, all activities, and the dance party. She is amazing at what she does, she loves capturing moments and it shows in her work! Even though she works alone, she was still able to capture EVERYTHING on our wedding day. It’s been a whole month since our big day and I still can't stop looking at our sneak peek photos! I am so excited to see the rest of the photos and we are very grateful that Bethany was the ONE we chose to capture our Best Day Ever. She deserves unlimited stars and I highly recommend her!

Hi! My names Marissa, and I have one of the coolest jobs around - hanging out with people on their wedding day! I love iced coffee and Jamie Fraser and spend my spare time reading or hanging out with my horse!

We had the best experience working with Marissa for our wedding! For one, she has an amazing personality - she is fun and lighthearted, so easygoing, AND also very responsible and on top of things (which I so appreciate)! For two, we had the unfortunate timing with COVID of having to postpone our wedding and our engagement shoot, and she made it super easy. She helped me many times in the planning process, from walking through the timeline, to picking out my bridesmaid dress color. Day of, she contributed so well to the fun vibe of the day, kept us on time and therefore not stressing out, and captured some AMAZING photos of us! She also captured so many awesome candids during our day, that looking back you can really see and remember how people felt, what the vibe of the day was, and the funny things that happened too (like when my friend spilled white wine on my dress and Marissa came to the rescue with napkins;)) Thank you so much Marissa!

Hi Friend! If you would've asked me 7 years ago what I thought I'd be doing as a career, I would've never said photography. I always thought that an office job was the dream job for me. I have always loved taking photos & being creative, but I never thought it could be anything more than a hobby. Growing up I always felt like an outsider. I was always bigger than other girls, I was always darker & never felt pretty enough. I would look in the mirror & wonder why I didn't look like the girls at school.

Liz’s style of photography and editing was exactly what I wanted to capture our wedding, and I couldn’t be happier! I knew she would be a great choice, but her vibe exceeded my expectations. I wish I could get married again just to have her photograph it all over!

I am an elopement photographer specializing in cozy elopements and tiny weddings. I am based in Southern California, but travel everywhere to capture intimate love stories and weddings days. I am a huge advocate for elopements and tiny weddings where you get to celebrate however YOU want, in a way that truly and authentically celebrates YOUR relationship and marriage.

I have nothing but great things to say about Pam Jeanne Photography. We are based in Indonesia but planned to do an elopement somewhere in Los Angeles. We reached out to Pam and scheduled a phone call to discuss and make plans. Out of our discussion with Pam, she suggested going out to Joshua Tree, which really struck a chord with us. Pam also helped us with the details, guiding us through the paperwork and permits, so that come wedding day everything would go smoothly. And smoothly it went! Pam got a lot of great photos of us in Joshua Tree, not the least of which are a lot of surprisingly delightful candid moments which are our favorites. We booked Pam for the full day and we're glad we did--we had a great time and didn't feel rushed at all, and got a lot of great photos which we will treasure forever. Thanks Pam!
