More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

From the very first interaction, the team at Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was incredibly responsive, patient, and detailed in their communication with us. On our wedding day, their incredible attention to detail was evident in the stunning photos they captured. They were constantly checking in with us throughout the reception to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted. As a couple who isn't always comfortable in front of the camera, Mario made us feel at ease and was able to create the exact type of photos we had envisioned. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable, and we have Once Like a Spark to thank for preserving those memories so beautifully. We would absolutely recommend them to any couple planning their big day!

Caitlyn and Brett were amazing during our wedding! Always communicating and making sure nothing got left out on the photography timeline! I had a wonderful day and I’m so happy my husband and I hired them to spend our special day with them! They also photographed our engagement and did a wonderful job! I’ve had photo shoots before but, Caitlyn made it comfortable, fun, and easy whereas other photo shoots were more uptight and quick. We got to be in the moment and really soak up everything. On top of that they were very adorable and always so easy to work with and understanding. I could honestly keep going on and on about how wonderful they are personality wise and work wise. Thank you so much you two and I’ll always come to you whenever I need any professional photos taken. Your work is truly a work of art and beautiful!

I chose not to have a videographer for my wedding, and had it covered only by photography. I sit here now, barely two weeks out from my wedding, already enjoying my entire wedding photo gallery from these amazing photographers that captured every detail as if they were using video recorders instead! Not only did they guarentee quick turn around on my photos (I think their words were "before you're back from your honeymoon") but the quality of work speaks for itself in the photos. They were such an joy to work with- often splitting up to cover ground and their easy banter with each other puts you right at ease when they're pointing those big cameras at you. I will never be able to thank them enough for making our day so special, and I'll enjoy it with their photos for the rest of our days.

Alissa with Sweet Bliss Media was very personable and easy to connect with. On my wedding day, she made me feel like it was her life's mission to make me feel and look beautiful in my photographs. Amidst all the craziness of your wedding day, it felt nice to have someone by your side to bring out the beauty. Who is not just there as a photographer for hire, but a forever friend capturing the special moments. Alissa also did things that she was not asked or contracted to, but just out of the kindness of her heart. She brought me bottled water to ensure that I stayed hydrated and even stayed later than we had originally laid out in the contract to make sure that my send-off was captured! She is a sweetheart and even though the photography was the biggest bill of the wedding budget, it was worth every penny, even my husband agrees. The finished product is absolutely stunning and we can’t wait to use her again for our family photos!! We highly recommend Alissa to all brides looking for a wedding photographer.

As a wedding officiant, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with King on a beach destination (the couple are Canadians) wedding. It was a crazy, blustery day on the beach but King was a total pro, taking time before the ceremony, to go over my normal movements and special moments that the couple had planned. Afterwards, he even prepared - less than a week later - a small gallery of ceremony moments just for me, emailing me a link and permission to use. The photos were fabulous! I had taken a few with my iPhone - and while I knew his would be better, his totally blew me away. I can't wait to work with Journeys Photography 941 again!

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

His consistent communication leading up to the big day gave us a sense of reassurance and confidence that everything would be perfectly captured. One of the best parts of working with Lee was his commitment to understanding and prioritizing our desires. He took the time to get to know us, learning what we valued most and what we envisioned for our wedding day. This attention to detail and genuine care for our wishes played an invaluable role in making my dream of an outdoor wedding come true, despite the weather. When the opportunity for a last-minute shift to an outdoor ceremony arose, Lee stepped up to make it happen. He even coordinated with the entire vendor team to ensure everything transitioned smoothly, which was above and beyond his role as a photographer. His proactive approach and dedication to our vision is something we will never forget. The day would literally not have been the same without him. The photos we have received so far are nothing short of stunning. They perfectly encapsulate the joy, love, and magic of our wedding day. Lee's flawless documentation allows us to relive those moments again and again, bringing back the emotions we felt on our perfect day. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos and know that they will be just as breathtaking. Lee Everett exceeded our expectations in every way. His artistic talent, combined with his genuine care for his clients, made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We are forever grateful for his extraordinary work and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a photographer who goes above and beyond to capture their wedding or any other special moments!

I have always loved art and it's many mediums, but in college I discovered my passion for photography. I've always felt something incredibly magical about being able to capture a moment, an emotion, and freeze it in time forever. I want to capture your moments so you can have them, and hold them forever. All while having a great time doing it. I love what I do and I have SO MUCH FUN in the process. I want you to enjoy your time with me as well. I want your wedding day to be the BEST DAY EVER, so let's go have fun!

Our wedding day was a whirlwind of joy, and Sunny, our photographer, played an instrumental role in making it truly magical. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in good hands, but we never could have imagined just how extraordinary her work would be. Sunny's attention to detail and inclusivity were evident throughout the entire process. Not only did she make sure every member of our family, including our beloved dog, felt included and comfortable, but she also exuded confidence and leadership, guiding us effortlessly through the day. Her talent behind the lens is unmatched. Sunny has a gift for capturing the essence of each moment, from the traditional wedding poses to the spontaneous, joy-filled interactions. Our photo album is a work of art, filled with images that transport us back to the magic of our wedding day every time we look at them. What truly sets Sunny apart is her professionalism and kindness. Despite the inevitable challenges that come with wedding planning, Sunny remained calm, composed, and incredibly accommodating. She even went above and beyond to save the day when another vendor caused a last-minute hiccup. Not only was Sunny a joy to work with, but she also exceeded our expectations in terms of timing. We were amazed by how quickly she delivered our photos, allowing us to relive the magic of our wedding day almost immediately. The compliments haven't stopped pouring in! Several friends, family members, and coworkers have remarked on the exceptional quality of our photos, with some even saying they look like they belong in a Southern Living magazine spread. We are beyond grateful to Sunny for her incredible work and her unwavering dedication to making our day perfect. If you're searching for a wedding photographer who will exceed your every expectation and capture the essence of your special day flawlessly, look no further than Sunny. Thank you, Sunny, for turning our wedding dreams into a reality!

As a hopeless romantic with a fondness for all things vintage, I specialize in capturing timeless photos of the details and moments celebrating the love of your day. Utilizing natural light as much as possible as to not create an artificial mood, I consider my style to be photojournalistic, with a relaxed, natural feeling, even during formal portraits. Overly staged portraits and calculated setups aren't really my jam. After the party's over, my work continues, using post-processing software like Lightroom and Photoshop, ensuring you and your photos look their best and unique!

Carrie was absolutely amazing to work with! We connected with her instantly and had a great time communicating with her throughout the entire wedding planning process, and during the wedding itself.

Myra was awesome! She was very punctual, professional, and friendly. Also, the pictures came out AMAZING!! Other than being a great photographer, Myra went above and beyond to help our day run smoothly. She spent ample time with us on the phone to go over our shot list, poses, etc. She was very conscious of our insecurities, which we really appreciated given how important these photos were. Unprompted, she personally went to our florist to pick up our flowers before the scheduled delivery time in order to stick to our photo timeline. Myra truly cares about her craft and couples she works with. We had nothing but a pleasant experience from start to finish, and we would absolutely work with her again in the future.

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Awarded Best of Zola
In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

It brings me so much joy to photograph two people in love. That’s why I adore working with couples who know that their marriage is about SO MUCH MORE than just their wedding day. It’s all the days that follow. It’s choosing your spouse each and every day. Your wedding day will be perfect, not because everything went according to plan, but because you said YES to the love of your life. And I see it as a huge honor when a couple chooses me to document such an important day in their lives! When past brides describe my style, they say words like, “joyful,” “romantic,” “warm,” “bright,” and “photos that actually look like me!”

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Taylor is your woman! My husband is not a huge fan of having his photo taken, so my main concern was finding someone that would make him feel comfortable. Little did I know how much Taylor would calm my nerves on our wedding day. She is such a light, but fun presence and I think that is reflected in how natural our photos felt. They truly reflect us, our love and the feeling of our big day. The only trouble you'll have is figuring out which of the hundreds of amazing photos you want to print. Seriously, is there a limit to how many wedding photos you should display in your home? She is the best!
