Amanda Ford Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Seaside, CA for additional fees

Welcome. I’m thrilled you’re here. My approach is to make things easy, enjoyable, and fun throughout the whole process. From the moment your inquiry lands in my inbox to viewing your full album, I am here to capture your story make your vision a reality. I strive to capture your raw connection while documenting such an important day. On a more personal note- I love the outdoors for more than just photo-ops. I enjoy skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and especially being on the water. I am a big people-person which is also why I am also a Physical Therapist! This allows me to work with people daily and help make a difference in their lives.

Amanda was amazing. From the beginning she was incredibly communicative and easy to work with. She had lots of great ideas that produced shots my wife and I cherish. To add to that, on our wedding day we dealt with high winds and torrential freezing rain on the Washington coast. Through all of it, Amanda focused on getting the best shots of my wife and I, the ceremony, and our families in the most adverse conditions. She did great! Editing and delivery was quick and easy as well. I can't recommend Amanda Ford enough.

  • Serves Seaside, CA for additional fees

My heart beats for photographing a story worth telling, and finding the funny, quirky, moving little moments throughout that narrative. I always have a smile on my face and love, absolutely love to make people laugh. I can recite funny quotes and sing to you the cheesiest of songs. As cheesy as it may sound, I want to be your friend. I want to laugh throughout the whole day with you, making every moment so memorable and being right by your side to capture it. I want to keep in touch with you after, to see where life takes you!

I have had the pleasure to work along side Andrea on several weddings now. She is extremely professional and has a really great energy. We think along the same as in what shots to get, so she is always right on the same page, which is great!

Far Out Feeling 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Seaside, CA for additional fees

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We had a terrific experience working with Meaghan and Brendon of “Far Out Feeling.” If you’ve made it this far, you already love their style – their ability to capture both candid and staged photos artfully – and we are happy to report that the photographers have personalities to match. We loved meeting them for drinks months in advance of our wedding, which gave us a nice context for one another when the day finally came (we cannot imagine, now, not knowing our wedding photographers when they arrived to take pictures of us!) We perhaps didn’t consider how crucial this feeling of comfort was, but when you think about, you do spend a tremendous portion of your wedding day with your photographers. Meaghan and Brendon felt like friends, which made even the parts of the wedding that we don’t like (posing!) feel easy, natural, and fun. Meaghan and Brendon were incredibly responsive, from first to last. They always got back to us the day we had a question, and even weeks after our wedding, they were responding to our technical difficulties within minutes. And the photos themselves turned out great! Again, you’ve probably seen evidence of this already. We cannot wait to print them, frame them, and, in all likelihood, post them relentlessly to our Instagram stories. A huge thank you to Meaghan and Brendon, who we recommend whole-heartedly.

Hi! I am Courtney! Photography is my passion. I can't put into words how excited I am thinking about a session or a wedding. Giddy like a little kid in a toy store, I suppose! I love details. As small as the sparkling eyeshadow on the bride's eyelid for her special day. The tiny fingernails on a newborn's hands. All the giggles and laughs. Kisses and a loving glance. I want to document every little thing for you. Events and life, in general, can be so busy. I am based in Arlington, Washington, but I serve all of the United States and most countries. I LOVE to travel!

We had the best experience with Wilde & Free Photography! They got every picture I could’ve wanted on my wedding day (including my Pinterest inspo pictures) and they turned out absolutely beautiful! I could stare at them all day! 10/10 recommend!!

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

If you need an elopement photographer drop everything and book Marla right now!! We changed our wedding last minute from Hawaii to Vashon Island WA and Marla was the only photographer whose work grabbed my attention! We had a great first call and I could not have asked for a better photographer. Marla was amazing in getting all the photos I asked for traveling with us and doing a first look on the ferry. She helped keep me calm and made the day feel just about Adam and I. She captured the joy we felt throughout the day and brought so much fun to our photos! I have had more people compliment me on our photos than i thought possible. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARLA!!

  • Serves Seaside, CA for additional fees

We're Hugo & Kat, wedding photographers & filmmakers based in Los Angeles. We're a married duo & we genuinely love that we get to pursue this passion together. Our goal is to create a space where you can be completely yourselves. To capture the real essence that makes you, you. Both individually & as a couple.

Hugo and Kat did photo and video for my wedding during the pandemic and they were nothing short of amazing! They were so easy to talk to and I didn’t feel like they were “in our faces” with the cameras. Yet, they happened to capture the most intimate of moments. I’ll forever cherish the photo they captured of me and my dad! As an event professional myself, I have to admit it’s hard to find vendors that still have that freshness and fun. Hugo even managed to convince some of my guests to come out onto the dance floor after they were sitting ducks. That showed me that he wasn’t just there to take photos/videos and call it a day, they were there to go above and beyond and make sure me and my guests had a night to remember. :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Tia feels like you're working with your best friend. She has such a calming presence and really embraces the experience you are looking for on your big day. Ben and I knew we wanted to be very present at our wedding and wanted to limit how much time we spent away from our friends and family. We were drawn to Tia's documentary photography and post editing style and after having a phone call with her we knew she was the perfect match! She is a photographer who will go above and beyond every step of the way. She was super responsive leading up to the wedding and took on coordinating with our planners and videographer. She answered every text and email inquiry we had quickly and I cannot express how thrilled we are with the turn out! I was shocked looking through the images at how well they capture exactly how I remember each moment, colors, hues, and all! She really captured the essence of our theme and venue and I'm so beyond grateful our path led us to her. We will cherish these photos forever and look forward to working with her again in future life milestones.

Josie with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception. I have no idea how she pulled it off but they look so magical and caught everyone having fun, all the exact memories I'll always cherish.

  • Serves Seaside, CA for additional fees

I specialize in documenting weddings! I believe in images that are timeless, true to color, with a touch of moodiness and emotion. Photography is one of the biggest and most important investments you’ll make for your wedding day. Wedding photography isn’t just a financial investment. You’re also investing in a photographer who values and builds that relationship from the start, from planning a custom timeline with you, to going over all the details every step of the way leading up to the wedding day. I want my couples to be as involved in the creative process as I am. It’s all about the experience!

I connected with Chamblee through a wedding we both worked. I'm a florist and always appreciate not only a great photographer but also one that communicates well so I don't feel like I'm a bother. Chamblee lenette photography was the perfect balance of both! I contacted her to introduce myself and then she took the reigns in continuing the communication and getting me access to the photos that could not only highlight her work but show off mine as well! I would gladly work with her again:).

Working with me is knowing your final product speaks to who you are as a couple (as well as gaining a friend for life). I'm not just your wedding photographer..I'm your forever photographer! Ready for your next step? Check out our packages and message me to chat and start planning!

Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Have you ever looked at a photo that impacted you in a way that made you instantly feel an emotion of joy, or happiness? This is my goal for you. Hi, my name is Hillary; I’m a wedding photographer. I have 10 + years of experience documenting weddings throughout the U.S., it allows me to use an instinctive “sense of the moment” that is full of romantically authentic and spontaneous images.

Hillary was everything we could have asked for in our wedding and engagement photographer! We were extremely nervous about pictures as neither of us knew what to do nor did we have any ideas on poses. She directed us just enough to keep the pictures looking natural, like us truly, but also beautiful and relaxed. She would start to direct us and then praise us for just being ourselves which made us feel so comfortable and made the entire process fun, loving between us and an overall amazing experience. The end results are absolutely beautiful and we are extremely happy with her work!

Athena photographed our wedding for us and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Every aspect of the entire experience, from planning and booking all the way through the wedding and receiving our photo album -- everything was above and beyond our expectations. Athena is super professional but also extremely friendly and personable. She made us feel comfortable in front of the lens, and gave us all the right cues to get amazing photos. She walked us through what to expect from start to finish, helped us plan ahead to get exactly the photos we wanted, and coordinated with us on the day of the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly. We honestly could not have asked for more, and we are forever grateful to Athena for everything she did for us. We are hoping to convert Athena to a family photographer as well -- we would love to continue to have her shoot important life moments for us through the years.

Kelsey is an incredibly talented photographer - she truly "sees" the subject of the photo. She understands their energy, personality, and their comfort (and discomfort) zones. Kelsey has the ability to capture these special moments in time in a photo, that when revisited/looked at after the event, take you RIGHT back to that moment. She is artistic, professional, and consistent with her art and business. She is always exactly where you need her to be, and extremely reliable. She puts the client at ease, even when being in front of a camera is not the most comfortable experience for most people! She is organized in her approach before, during and after the event but never too pushy or overbearing. She listens, observes, and performs at a very high level. Working with Kelsey was a dream, and I feel thankful to have worked with her. I believe the photographer is the most important vendor during the "wedding" process (engagement, wedding, etc.) and I struck gold with Sunbeam!!

Coral was amazing to work with! We had the pleasure of getting to know her when we booked her last-minute to take some photos of my good friends' small backyard ceremony in 2018. When my husband and I later got engaged, we knew we had to book Coral to capture our own planned festivities for June 2020. When 2020 rolled around and it became apparent that we had to scrap most of our original plans, we couldn't have asked for a better partner than Coral. Her flexibility and encouragement during what was a crazy time for everyone kept us sane. We unfortunately nixed all of our other vendors with the changes we made, but kept Coral because we knew we wanted her there to capture whatever our day turned out to be. Coral captured beautiful photos of our two(!) wedding/reception dates and we are so glad to have those treasured photos. She's incredibly easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable, especially as my family and I don't get in front of the camera very often. We can't recommend Coral enough!

Capturing stories and connections through intention, and a bit of magic! I picked up a camera in 2017 and fell in love with the way light hits flowers, faces, fields of grass, and all the things in between. I am obsessed with catching a moment that would otherwise go unnoticed, especially if that moment is candid and filled with life. A great way to get to know me and my style is by following along on Instagram!

Working with Morgan on our recent styled shoot was an absolute dream. Her artistic vision is truly unparalleled—she brings such a natural, ethereal essence to her work, capturing every detail with depth and intention. Morgan’s intuitive approach made the entire process feel effortless and collaborative, and her ability to create images that feel both timeless and alive is unmatched. If you’re looking to tap into your ethereal goddess or simply want to capture a quiet golden hour moment, Morgan is the photographer for you. She has a gift for weaving together light, texture, and emotion, making each element—from florals to fabrics—feel celebrated and alive. I can’t recommend her enough for anyone seeking a photographer who combines heart, creativity, and an eye for beauty in every frame. Thank you, Morgan, for an unforgettable experience!

Welcome to "We Do Weddings," where love meets artistry, and moments are forever preserved. We're Jared and Quinn, not just business partners, but a couple who share a deep passion for capturing the most cherished memories of your special day. Our journey into the world of wedding photography and videography began as a shared dream—a dream that brought together our love for storytelling, our appreciation for timeless elegance, and our fascination with the candid, unscripted moments that make every love story unique.

We had our engagement photos taken by We Do Weddings and had a great experience. My wife and I weren't set on a good location, but Jared and Quinn had a couple of suggestions and Freestone Park turned out perfect. They also arrived early and had a couple spots in mind to shoot at, which I really appreciated since it was a warm day and that expedited the process. The shoot was casual and surprisingly fun. They worked quickly but we never felt rushed. They gave great direction (including some pictures of what they were looking for at times) which turned out great. We just got the photos back and my wife and I were blown away. They turned out beautifully and we are so happy with them. The entire experience was a joy and the end result was exactly what we were hoping for.

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

As a wedding photographer myself, I have high and clear expectations when it comes to photography. Nadia & Gunnar are my go-to photography team when I need to hire a second photographer. I have the unique experience and privilege of hiring them again and again. I never have to worry about a thing when they are on my team. Both individuals are reliable, consistent, and creative. They always show up early. They are constantly pushing their craft and trying to learn new things. They are extremely detail oriented so couples never have to worry about looking their best. Quiet in nature, Nadia & Gunnar are a calming support system on what is otherwise a chaotic day. I trust them completely with my couples and with my couples' loved ones.

Hi! I'm Ria, but my friends call me Ri. I'm a Southern California based photographer traveling worldwide for weddings, elopements & love.

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

Tammy is my number one, favorite photographer to work with and the only person who can actually help me relax on a wedding day. I can trust her completely. I never need to worry about where she is, if she's getting the shot, or if she's shooting enough variety. She knows exactly what she's doing from extensive experience and she treats weddings with the same gravity as if it were her own day. Some of my favorite images of all time are just that due to Tammy's ability to read a room and complete the story. She continually brings new skills and her own innovation into every event, which I love to keep up with on her social media. Tammy gets so many compliments in part due to her skill and professionalism, but also because of the energy and perfectionism she will bring to your day. I can't say enough great things about having Tammy as a photographer.

I love mexican food, cats (and dogs!), and iced coffee. Books are my best friends, and I also double as a yoga teacher when I'm not doing photography related things. I have a weird obsession with fuzzy socks and I prefer movies over TV shows. Now on to the typical things you want to know about my journey in photography...I got my first camera in 2009 and basically haven't put it down since! I studied photography at Savannah College of Art and Design and started my freelance photography career when I graduated in 2016!

Hannah was born to two people whom she's never met. She was born without a name, without a birthdate, and placed in an orphanage in China. Her journey into photography began with the resolve to honor the unknown history and heritage of the past. Preserving the stories that shape families and those in it has become her life's work. Over the last decade, Hannah has honed her expertise to destination celebrations, traveling to document couples all over the US. She is recognized in nation-wide publications such as BRIDES, Martha Stewart Weddings, Pottery Barn, and more.

Hannah was the wedding photographer of my dreams! She is so attentive to detail, and she is so organized. She did a lot of research beforehand into my preferences, what were important and memorable items to me, about my family, and who my husband and I are as a couple. She knew that me and my mom are artists and incorporated our art into my wedding photos, which was such a special surprise to me. She herself is an artistic genius and her photographs were more beautiful than I could have imagined. She truly captured the emotions and feelings of the day in her photographs, all done with such a great artistic eye. We had formal portraits but I did not feel like we spent hours taking formal pictures. Hannah also has the kindest heart and such a positive spirit which was such a wonderful presence on our wedding day. We also were so lucky to have her husband as our second photographer. They both truly care about their clients and worked so hard to capture every perfect moment on our wedding day. We will cherish our photographs for a lifetime. I truly cannot be any more grateful that we had Hannah and her husband Corey as our wedding photographers!

To me love is art, and art is love. My intent is to produce different, authentic, and cinematic imagery for you + your partner to cherish. I work in collaboration with couples to foster a place of intentionality allowing them to feel their most honest selves while engaged in and surrounded by beautiful scenery. I find I create the best art when I'm outside letting my clients exist together, no silly poses or staging, just the moment. Your wedding day is about the connection you two have and I want to produce imagery that honors your connection in an honest and intimate way.

Nicole is a very genuine and talented photographer and it shows in her photos. Not only is she great at what she does but she is also very personable and professional! She was amazing with communication before, during, and after the wedding. Before the wedding, she made sure to make a note of any photos we were wanting. She took the time to learn what was important to us and got to know us as a couple and then she captured everything perfectly in every single photo. When we got our wedding photos back we got to re-live our wedding day all over again. We couldn’t stop looking at them because of how amazing they were. They are something that we will cherish forever and I’m so happy that we chose Nicole to capture one of the best days of our life.
