  • Serves Smith River, CA

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my page! My name is Richa and photography has been a lifelong passion of mine! My most favorite part about it is capturing the little moments that seem so small, but one day you look back and realize they were the big ones! I love happiness. I love laughter. But most of all, I love LOVE!! I feel so privileged to be able to capture YOUR love.

Richa was such a delight to work with from the moment we booked her! We had such clear communication from the contract signing to getting our albums printed. I honestly could not have thought of a better photographer for our wedding. We had a REALLY long wedding... 14 hours... And Richa was so energetic and happy throughout! She made taking pictures so fun.... It honestly felt like we were long time friends. All of the pictures look like they are straight out of a fairytale. She is incredibly talented, so friendly, and extremely professional. We are going to be asking for her any time we have any event for the family!

Kristen is the best. From the start, when I first reached out to her about an engagement session and shooting for our wedding she was a pleasure to interact with and very responsive. I appreciated that she was upfront with her pricing and clear about what was included with each package. This was definitely not something I saw when reaching out with other photographers. We booked with her and had our engagement session with my now husbands two kids and our new dog, to say it was chaotic was an understatement but she was so nice and accommodating about it all. She made friends with my husband and made both of us feel very comfortable in a situation that isn’t so natural for us. Fast forward to our wedding, by this time we felt like we were friends with Kristen and her husband. They were an absolute delight! It’s 2 weeks after our wedding, we are in LOVE with our sneak peaks and we just had dinner with friends that were at the wedding and they had the best compliment for Kristen and her husband. They said they were amazing, the best photographers make you feel like they aren’t even there but still capture all of the important moments, and that is exactly what they did! The last thing I will mention is that I have had experiences with photographers that can be pretty intense and a little over the top which was something that never made me feel very comfortable. Kristen was the perfect balance between being approachable but also making sure we got all the shots that we needed. We will absolutely be working with her for all of our photography needs in the future!

Hey there! I'm unfortunately no longer utilizing Zola. If you'd like to chat message me on my website! mayebetakeaphoto .com I'm a Colorado + Destination Elopement and Intimate Wedding photographer that loves adventure, bold moments, and colorful scenery. I'm all about love & adventure, no matter what that looks like for you. I’d be thrilled to go the extra mile (literally or figuratively) to capture your moments, big and small. I promise to treat your memories as if they were my own.

Not only did she take spectacular photos of our elopement, she was such a HUGE help as well. My now husband and I eloped without any family or friends. Sam was sympathetic to this and helped in so many ways. From something as little as helping me put on my necklace, fixing my shoe when it broke, to something as big as helping me get in my wedding dress. All the while she managed to take the most amazing photographs of our day. When we got our gallery I was blown away. I can't imagine our photos coming out any better. She was receptive to what shots I wanted as well as getting shots we didn't even know we needed! With my husband and I both being POC, I was afraid about how our skin tones would photograph, and I'm telling you, with Sam, that won't be an issue. She used natural lighting and made us glow. She was the most important person for us that day and I'm so glad that I was able to put my trust in her.

We are a collaboration of photographers and editors bringing together unique ideas and electrifying energy. We are eager and excited to work with couples on one of the most exciting days of their lives!

My husband, Michael and I live in the Minneapolis area but we had our wedding in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where our friends and family are from. We started by looking for photographers in Michigan before coming across Reflect Studios, right here in Minneapolis. I fell in love with their photography style immediately so I reached out. We ended up stretching our budget a little and booked a destination wedding package with them right away. We felt that Reflect was the absolute best bang for our buck. We met and maintained contact with our photographer, Sian, months prior to the wedding day so we felt really comfortable everything would go as planned. The wedding day was nothing short of perfect. I married my best friend in front of the people that mean the most to us in one of the most beautiful venues I could have ever imagined. A week later, Sian sent us a Sneak Peek album of our wedding and about a month later, we got all of our photos. Every time we see the photos Sian captured for us, Michael and I relive that day over and over again. Sian did an incredible job in capturing the emotion that everyone was feeling. To this day, Sian and I remain close friends. We would hire Reflect Studios 100 out of 100 times.

  • Serves Smith River, CA for additional fees

Hey! I'm Christina: a 25 year old Georgia native dreaming of living somewhere that gets more than 0.25 inches of snow a year. If I was a book character I’d definitely be Anne of Green Gables. I thrive on adventure, nostalgia, and meaningful connections. And in the spirit of full transparency, I'm also a major goof with a sarcastic sense of humor.

Ahhhh....Christina! Where to begin? There are two things you need to know; 1.) Christina is ammmmaaazzzzing! 2.) We (+ALL our family and friends) are OBSESSED with our wedding photos! From our initial conversation, Christina was interested in understanding what we wanted for our wedding day and how we wanted the photography experience to feel. Also, not sure who was more excited about our day - us or her! She was friendly, upbeat, so enthusiastic and emotionally invested in photographing our wedding, that we couldn't get over it! We felt so lucky to find her. So grateful, yet it didn't stop there. We eloped to Tybee Island, GA and continued to celebrate (and take more photos!) in Savannah. Since we were eloping, pictures of the day were really important to us so we could share the experience with family and friends back home. And man, did Christina nail it!! From the moment she arrived, we felt like we had known Christina our whole lives. Even though we had only met her on Zoom calls, it wasn't awkward at all. She has such a calming, even keeled presence. The consummate professional, she just stepped right in and got to work right away setting up incredible shots. I remember feeling so confident in her! And also feeling like, "she's got this!" When we received our first set of initial pictures, we were absolutely bowled over! I mean shocked! To this day, I cannot get over how beautiful our photos are. Christina’s unobtrusive presence and keen eye captured every single detail! She not only made it fun, but she even captured intimate moments that we could not have imagined and otherwise would have missed! Also, somehow she managed to accomplish all of this without us feeling as if we were being watched or photographed. We recommend Christina Moon of Luna Legacies Photography without hesitation! And honestly, could not imagine our day without her!

I`m Anna, based in Reno, NV and I would love to travel to you! Instead of bragging about how amazing I am as a photographer and how long I've been clicking that button, I'll let my work do the talking! Let's skip that part and get to know each other on a more personal level. I like psychology, animals, people, traveling, and unleashing my creativity. Oh, and I absolutely love capturing people just being themselves and showing their love for each other in every possible way. I just LOVE love. It may sound cliché, but there's something magical about freezing those one-of-a-kind moments with my camera that keeps me going.

Anna and I chatted via Zoom and text, and I was impressed by Gartsueva Photography's communication style. Their work was excellent - they captured all the important shots, with a whimsical, couple-focused style. Anna spent time learning what we were looking for and made great suggestions. She also interacted wonderfully with our guests, ensuring we got all the images we really wanted. I highly recommend Gartsueva Photography for your wedding day.

Sarah was our photographer and she was great. I was planning a destination wedding in New York from California and she made it easy to connect. To talk style and shortlist. On the day of she came early to set up and she helped get the guests in position and made suggestions for lighting and poses to make the most of the location and the lighting through the day/sunset. I’ve already gotten a glimpse of how that worked since my friends followed her around snapping the same poses on their phones and they are amazing. Looking forward to the real shots.

Wedding photography for unconventional people. At the core of my practice as a wedding photographer, I believe: - that if your wedding traditions are not authentic and meaningful to you, then you deserve the freedom to build new traditions. - that men, women, and people of all genders are beautiful and deserve to have that beauty celebrated. - that we are most beautiful when we love fully and without reserve. - that no wedding or elopement is too small to commemorate. - that photographs are the record of memory and of personal history. - that you deserve to remember this.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Kate to capture our civil ceremony at SF City Hall. We had our symbolic ceremony abroad a few more weeks out but wanted to sign the papers ahead of time first at home. She was very professional and so organized. Loved knowing I could rely on her guidance and expertise which was so needed given how much was going on around that time. Some of the photos took my breath away and she made both of us feel very at ease throughout the process. Highly recommend.

Hey there! I am Elizabeth, the owner & head photographer of Elizabeth Yanna Photography. I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

Working with Elizabeth is amazing. It’s no wonder why all of her couples love her! She’s so much fun to be around and in tough situations, can figure out a quick solution very calmly. Elizabeth is super creative and has a keen eye for detail. Just book with her, you won’t regret it!

Freddy prepared a contract and made sure to answer any questions we had while going over the agreement. As far as pricing I personally think it was great & more cost effective than other photographers I previously looked into.

AYOOOOO!!! i’m madeline-- a 20 something old, introverted until you can’t get me to shut up, dog lovin, taco eatin, thrift shop fiendin, adventure seekin, hot mess of a human who fell in love with a camera many years ago. i love hard and deeply, never been too big a fan of stress, and really just believe we were all put on this little floating globe to have one hell of a good time. i'm happiest when surrounded by nature, snuggled up at home with my love and our pups, or creating art out of real life love stories. i find inspiration in all of life's little in-between moments, the way the golden light filters through trees, and big belly laughs

Madeline is amazing! We LOVED Working with Madeline! When looking for a wedding photographer, we were impressed with Madeline's portfolio because her photos are all absolutely stunning and show that she can adapt to different couples' styles. However, what sealed the deal was her amazing personality. We wanted to hire a photographer we felt comfortable with, and Madeline is so sweet and hilariously funny. She made us feel so at ease! On our wedding day, Madeline and her husband, her second shooter, Brian, were SO on top of everything. They acted as our north stars, guiding us through the night. They knew where we needed to go, what we needed to be doing, who we needed to take pics with, everything! They knew how to handle weird family dynamics without missing a beat and even brought us water! Plus, they did all of this while making us laugh. Our wedding was amazing, and I don't know how we could have done it without them! And the photos turned out beautifully! We definitely made the right decision in hiring Madeline.
