Hi! I'm Sarah. Congratulations on taking the next step in your wedding planning! Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

Awarded Best of Zola
There is not enough good things we can say about Sarah! From day 1, she had great communication before the proposal while deciding the perfect location and how we would meet up with her. She executed flawlessly and I never saw her until the ring was on my finger even though she followed us for a bit before the big moment. She made us feel so comfortable for the photoshoot after and was willing to go to a few different spots with us all while carrying all of our stuff so it wouldn’t be in our pockets for the pictures. We received the sneak peeks the next day and were blown away with how well they turned out, she nailed it!! She got the big “I do” moment which was most important and then captured so many other sweet moments right before and after that I will forever be so grateful we can relive because of her photos. The best thing about her is that you can feel the joy coming out of the screen when you look through her galleries. So many people have raved over how well our engagement photos turned out. Everyone should book Sarah, she is so great at what she does!!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Awarded Best of Zola
Diana Marie Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

  • Serves Smithboro, IL for additional fees

Intimate wedding photographer originally from the coast of VA, but now based in the North Georgia Mountains & love finding new adventures while exploring the outdoors. When I am not hidden behind my camera, you can find me hiking up a new mountain with my fur babies, eating tacos, or spending quality time with my little family. I started out capturing families, then realized that my heart is completely drawn to love & the bond that two people share. I describe my photography as bold, intimate & sincere. I enjoy capturing the small, yet sometimes unseen gestures & reactions as well as the pure romance between two people on their wedding day.

Between our engagement photos and the wedding, Hannah was so much fun to work with! Her prices are fair and her quality of work is fantastic. Love her editing style. She had the photos back to us within 2 weeks for sneak peaks and 3 weeks for everything! All my guests commented on how fun and sweet she was! Highly recommend

  • Serves Smithboro, IL for additional fees

You're "coulda-been-a-bridesmaid" Photographer. Your wedding photographer should feel like having your bestie in your by your side- fun, has tissues at ready, helps run the show smoothly and KNOWS your priorities. With almost 15 years as a Memphis wedding photographer, I work on the front end to get to know my couples so that my work can authentically capture the actions we take to show our care and love for each other. I cherish all forms of human connection (LBGTQ+), and believe that our most precious memories deserve to be preserved in a way that is personable and true to us.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Michelle was the best decision ever! She was wonderful! There was clear and consistent communication from the beginning, and she went out of her way to always send us a heads up close to important dates. Neither of us had any experience with professional photography before this, and she made my husband and me feel right at home immediately. I also can’t stress how helpful she was on the wedding day, and how she managed to herd all of us cats with ease right on time with the schedule. And then there’s the photos. They are spectacular, vibrant and beautiful. Working with Michelle was like working with a close friend, she took the time to really get to know us and it shines through in every picture she took. We got back from our honeymoon and I had an email about our first look photos, they blew me away. I’m so excited to see the rest, and a little sad it’s all over! Michelle is an absolute joy to work with, I will definitely be reaching out to her again for any future photography needs.

  • Serves Smithboro, IL for additional fees

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

Our experience with Danielle was nothing short of incredible! She captured our October wedding in Maine so beautifully, and the photos perfectly reflect who we are as a couple. From the moment we started working with her, she made us feel completely at ease. And provided a lot of additional unexpected guidance to help prep for our big day. She has an amazing ability to balance capturing those sweet, genuine moments with showcasing our silly side, all while making us look absolutely stunning. Nothing felt forced or overly staged—just natural and real. Her guidance during the shoot was spot-on, and the final photos blew us away. If you’re planning a wedding in New England, we can’t recommend Moon Rising Photography enough. Danielle is not only talented but also so much fun to work with. Our memories from that day wouldn’t be the same without her! And we look forward to continuing to hire her for any and all major life events!

Laura McMullin Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Smithboro, IL for additional fees

Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

Awarded Best of Zola
We honestly feel so lucky to have booked Laura; she was just the perfect fit for our wedding. She has a true gift for bringing the candid smiles out of people, and made the experience easy, fun, and memorable. There's no, "I feel awkward in front of a camera" with Laura--she makes everyone feel so comfortable and confident. If you want to feel like a partner in your own wedding's photo journey, then Laura is the perfect choice. We were beyond pleased with how all of our photos came out, and hope to work with her again someday for other milestones!

Steph Smith Photo

  • Serves Smithboro, IL for additional fees

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Awarded Best of Zola
Steph is a wizard, ninja, and a unicorn all rolled into one. From the minute we reached out to her she immediately made us know we were in good hands. She was clear, communicative, and professional, but every time we talked it still felt like talking to an old friend. (Several of our guests assumed that she WAS an old friend of ours who happened to be a photographer — that’s how warm and chill she is.) Ahead of time she was great about getting details of exactly what we wanted, so that on the big day she just slipped in and out seamlessly without pulling us away from the fun. She was also careful to figure out exactly what we wanted the vibes of the final product to be (candid, colorful, joyful) and she delivered in spades. The finished products are beautiful and were delivered quickly (both the digital copies and the physical prints we ordered). We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Maurissa is such an amazing human being! We could not have asked for anyone better to be our wedding photographer! We knew we loved her the minute we met her for our engagement session last winter. She is very outgoing, friendly and honest! She has been very responsive in communication from the beginning. Maurissa goes above and beyond just being a photographer. She made sure everything was lined up, provided a timeline for all the vendors, made sure to get every "must have" photo. Maurissa also helped make sure we enjoyed OUR day. I was very worried about the timeline and being behind on everything but she made sure to remind me that there is no timeline and this was our special day so anything we wanted she would make happen and the guests would be okay entertaining themselves until we were ready! We also got our sneak peaks back already and are so obsessed and cannot wait to see the rest. Maurissa will definitely be showing up in our future because we love her!!

HOME STATES: California & Massachusetts | Hey, I'm Justina! in the dead of winter I'll be that person walking around with my iced coffee in one hand and airpods blasting underground hiphop or melodic punk all while thrifting for vintage treasures at your local savers. you'll also find me at creative meetups in boston, playing apex legends or catching up on reality when I'm able to find free time.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about Justina—she helped our wedding day run seamlessly! From the start, she was incredibly helpful and communicative, working closely with us to construct the perfect wedding day timeline. She even provided a detailed wedding guidebook and questionnaire, which helped us envision the exact vibe we wanted. On the big day, when we inevitably fell behind schedule, Justina handled it with such grace and adapted quickly. She adjusted effortlessly, stayed flexible, and kept everything moving. Even with less time for photos, she still managed to capture all the shots we had requested. Justina’s collaboration with her brother Anthony, who did our videography, was another highlight. Instead of coordinating between two separate vendors, we were able to meet with both of them together, ensuring that our wedding day vibe was beautifully reflected in both the photos and video. They both were extremely professional and helpful, in addition to providing creative ideas that helped bring our vision to life. What truly sets Justina apart is her talent and eye for candid shots that look and feel so natural. You can tell she cares deeply about the quality of her work. She got us a preview album within a week of the wedding, and my husband and I were so moved by the photos. We still cannot stop looking through them! If you want someone who will make your wedding photo dreams come true and help you feel comfortable and taken care of on our wedding day, look no further than Justina. We couldn’t be happier with our choice!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

I cannot say enough good things about Emma - she is always flexible, knowledgeable, and shows up with the best energy to every event! When I wasn’t sure where I wanted to take bridals, she was happy to make suggestions based on the vibe I was going for - and I very much appreciated one less thing on my plate! She delivers high quality, beautiful photos every single time and is the artist behind so many of my most cherished memories! I would absolutely recommend Coté and Camera - you won’t regret it!
