Hi! We are Jonathan & Emma Cunanan. Our whole story is centered on spontaneity & romance. We met, became best friends, & within a month we fell in love & by that October we were married. We are in love with love, & our business is founded upon that- making sure your day is celebrated with joy & completeness. We want to capture your moment right where you want it so you never have to forget what a moment felt like. Weddings are a core memory, & you should never have to compromise exquisite memories.

The Cunanans directed our poses, used different angles, and got so many wonderful shots. I'm so pleased!

Dominique Johns Photography

  • Serves Solana Beach, CA for additional fees

Welcome to my page! I am a wedding and elopement photographer from sunny central florida! I know many people can feel uncomfortable in front of the camera but I am here to change that! I always try to become friends with my couples versus just a vendor because I feel like that makes the day go so much smoother. If you want a photographer thats there to help you get ready but also ready to party on the dance floor then look no further! I find the best photos are taken when you become a part of the wedding versus standing on the sidelines.

Dominique is an absolute gem. I have had the opportunity to work alongside her on multiple projects and I love how she works diligently to capture the emotion between her couples and to find beautiful candid and posed moments. She is strong in her editing skills and I have used multiple photos that she has taken for my website, social media, and business marketing materials because they are just gorgeous. Dominique is flexible, adaptable, and brings a positive attitude to every project she works on and every couple that she supports.

That’s also how we spent our wedding day, and most other significant, life-altering moments in our relationship. We fundamentally believe that the best day of your life should be spent doing what makes your heart sing. You’re not here because you don’t care about your day, you’re here because you care more.

We loved everything about working with Natalie from start to finish and couldn’t recommend The Finding Co enough! We loved their style as soon as we saw their work and loved that they seemed to capture the details, small moments, and emotion of the day so well. they fully delivered on that! Our wedding day was a bit rainy/misty which seriously limited the spaces where we could shoot group photos. Natalie adapted so quickly to the poor lighting and tight spaces and really embraced the misty atmosphere to create timeless but creative shots. We love our photos SO much and they truly capture not just the aesthetics of the day but the love, fun, and emotion. Natalie and her second shooter Danielle were such a pleasure to have around us the whole day. They were present but still blended into the background seamlessly. You won’t regret working with them!

Julius went the extra mile to deliver photos that were sweepingly beautiful and intimate at the same time. The candids and special moments he captured of us and our guests were incredible. Julius certainly brings a documentarian flair to his captures. He made everyone feel comfortable, was extremely communicative at all times, and was an integral part of making our wedding day perfect. Delivery of photos was timely and easy. I cannot recommend him enough and would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Hey! I’m Brittney a San Diego girl living in Arizona I’m a chocolate-chip cookie addict, adventure fanatic, camping junkie, fashion lover. I love seeing people in love which makes it way more fun to capture that through my lens. I want to make every photography session an experience, I want my clients to leave knowing that when they see these photos they can remember everything from that day. The smells, location, conversion, the way they felt when their hands touch each other.

Brittney was absolutely AMAZING! From our engagement session, to my boudoir session, to our wedding day - everything was perfect. My boudoir session with Brittney was so much fun! she made me feel so comfortable and not awkward at all. It was such a fun/exciting gift to give my husband before we got married. From the engagement photoshoot we knew right away we absolutely loved Brittney’s energy! She started this session off with giving us some beers! She listened to the vibe we wanted out of our photos and we got just that. She’s super friendly, easy going and delivered us our photos back in a timely manner!!! She even a sent us sneak peek photos the day after our wedding. Every time I look back at our wedding photos now it makes me want to go back and relive that day and that’s exactly what I wanted! She captured the day perfectly, but she even went above and beyond and got so many photos from the reception. The photos show all our loved ones having a blast and that just makes my heart so happy. Overall, we feel very blessed that we found Brittney. She’s now a close friend and we have these special photos and moments to remember forever. If you need a wedding photographer book with Brittney; you will not be disappointed! She does beautiful work and you can tell she loves what she does! I am so happy we crossed paths with her when we did!!!

Based in the heart of Nashville and journeying with couples worldwide full-time since 2018, I specialize in crafting timeless, low-stress, editorial images and elevated, audio-centric cinematic wedding films. For the free-spirited and the adventurous, for the lovers of art and bold style, your dream wedding memories await. Everyone deserves to have their wedding captured with care, creativity, and kindness. I can't wait to create an amazing experience for you and your partner.

TLDR: she is talented, professional & kind very helpful as someone with limited mobility. Tessa & her team photographed & recorded my wedding last weekend, and they were a dream to work with. I am chronically ill & so I knew on my wedding day I could not be running around to different locations for photos, and Tessa was extremely mindful of that fact & made sure to work within the parameters of what was doable for me. I was worried my limited mobility would mean my photos would be a little boring, but she's already sent a handful of pictures over for a sneak peek & they are GORGEOUS. Tessa is a true professional but also someone who clearly loves what she does, which I think really shows in the quality of her work. Could not be more glad to have had her & her team document my special day! :)

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!

Courtney and her husband were both AMAZING to work with! I had a lot going on and a lot of things popping up that would alter the timeline she created. They were so kind and flexible about it! Definitely made the day less stressful for me! So far, the sneak peaks I have seen are gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the rest!!

I've been pushing off this review because I just can't find a way to put into words how AMAZING Rob & Lyndi were. Not only were they just all around good people and a pleasure to work with, but they were able to capture some of the best moments of our wedding...SO tough to pick our favorites! I came across Sugar Rush Photo + Video while scrolling through a million different wedding photographer websites and I was sold on their casual/super approachable tone and the great candid shots they featured. My husband and I typically shy away from the camera, but loved the idea of being able to see our guests at their best when they weren't looking. Rob & Lyndi were super responsive the entire time (note: we brought them on with a little over a year to go) and made the whole process easy for us. A lot of people wondered why we were flying our photographers in from Utah, but after the wedding and after looking at the photos, it became clear to everyone. They flew into SF for our outdoor October wedding weekend and it was like we were meeting long lost friends even though we had only exchanged emails. They rocked it at our welcome pig roast and it felt like they were part of the family. That Saturday, they split getting ready duties between two locations, got us ready for a first look in the park before our outdoor ceremony and made each of us look waaaayy better/way more glamorous than we'd ever looked before and captured some great moments with our family. For our formals, we set loose on the city and Lyndi captured what a coworker called the best wedding picture ever in front of the Painted Ladies in Alamo Square Park. We squeezed in a second location before heading into our reception just for fun! We kinda felt like fancy fashion models as we looked through our gallery. The reception was a blast and our guests kept pulling us aside saying how it felt like our photographers were just an extension of our friends and family and that they were just so fun to be around. Rob & Lyndi have such amazing energy and it oozes onto everyone they interact with. I highly recommend them for weddings, engagements (wish we had done that!) and anything else...especially if you're not that comfortable in front of the camera! They make you feel so at ease and like you're laughing with your most inappropriate and hilarious friends. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

Hey, I'm Chris. I'm thrilled to be a part of your wedding journey and want to make it everything you've ever dreamed of. On your special day, I'll bring a relaxed, positive vibe, and maybe even some dog treats. You can count on me for zero "Photographer attitude" and zero stress. Currently based in Boston, I'm constantly traveling to photograph weddings nationwide. I particularly love weddings with 100-150 guests, and thrive in locations like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Creating vivid, cinematic images through great lighting and true to life editing is my true passion. You won't find overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones in my work.

Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!

I booked Alisa Sue Photography before I even secured my venue if that tells you anything about how confident I was that I loved her photography style and vision. I was so happy to get to meet her and her husband, Wayne, on our wedding day. She was the best hypewoman and made me feel beautiful and confident in all our pictures! It also felt so natural posing for pictures with her guidance. She and Wayne were such a dream team. I also hired Snap Pic Photo Booth (owned by them as well) and we loved our backdrop and the props and the print template design! ALSO, she literally turned around some edits so fast. Literally lunchtime the day after our wedding, she had already posted a handful of edited photos from our wedding to her Instagram. How amazing is she!!!

We are all here for you. All your family, your friends and I (yes, me too!) are here to honor you on your wedding day! As excited as I am to get to the dancefloor with you guys, I know a lot of planning goes into making your day special. As your photographer, I’ve been to a few weddings and am just a call or text away from any insight you might want. I approach every wedding with the same mentality, how can I tell the story of today in the most real way possible? I’ve found the best way to do that is to just be me. I allow myself to be present and listen to the stories unfold throughout the day.

Gabe did a terrific job capturing our wedding day. He is super talented and we feel so fortunate to have had him photograph our wedding. Our details changed several times with COVID and Gabe was always one step ahead, making sure he could accommodate whatever changes were made. On our wedding day Gabe went above and beyond, working behind the scenes to cultivate pictures of such treasured moments. Most of our photos were candid, which was something that was important to us and Gabe also highlights. My husband and I really valued his authenticity and communication skills. We feel like the pictures he captured truly are us and not a posed image of who we want to be pictured as. 10/10 would recommend!

Jordan was in a word fantastic. Her moody beautiful style perfectly matched our fall-themed wedding. She and her second shooter listened to everything we had to say and captured everything important to us. She was also far along in her pregnancy (congrats again Jordan!) at the time and was so communicative and a trooper for us and our wedding. She also was able to get our photos out to us a little earlier than promised. I know that can never be guaranteed but we were so freaking excited when the link hit our inbox early! We immediately ordered several prints to hang in our home because we are so happy with them. All in all, super professional, personable, knowledgeable, and very committed to her passion. I would hire her ten times over and you won't regret it either.

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a lover of art, stories, and spark—the perfect alchemy to creating and capturing all those memory-making, magical moments. Weddings, to me, are about your unique narrative, your origin stories and your threads of connection; the ways in which you’ve woven a love through a tapestry of compassion and inspiration and all that makes you you— both as individuals and as a couple. That’s the fabric of the photo, the material I like to work with; because of this, my photos lean atmospheric and candid.

Working with Hannah was so easy, and the photos from our wedding were exactly what I wanted. I really wanted to maximize the amount of time I spent enjoying my wedding and guests, and Hannah's style was perfect for this – we got our posed portraits done quickly, and the rest of the time she was able to capture what was actually taking place at the wedding. In terms of pre-wedding prep, we met once before I signed the contract and then again about a month before the wedding to nail down details. Hannah was very communicative throughout the whole process, and she turned around 25 beautiful pictures within a week of the wedding for us to share around. I just got 200 more pictures back, and they are stunning. Hannah is such a talent, and I highly recommend her.

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

Anya was up to challenge when I asked if she would be willing to take some pictures behind my in-laws house in the woods, she said sure no problem! They turned out amazing and had that personal touch that meant a lot to us! We will be using her again soon for family photos and senior pictures!

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer who loves to frequent the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Midwest (where I grew up.) I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

Grace T Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly responsive and provided us with so much inspiration and guidance to help us plan the perfect day. Their team, including Hannah and Mike, were dedicated and fantastic. They captured our wedding in the most candid and romantic way. They helped us plan the flow of the day by contributing feedback and building the schedule, and we even got special moments, like a pair of bunnies that photobombed our engagement shoot! We couldn't have asked for a better photography experience and would highly recommend Grace T Photography to any couple looking for a talented and personable team to capture their special day.

Every moment is unique, every couple is unique. I get to capture my amazing couples and the moments that make them up in really stunning and interesting ways that tell their special story.

Wayne was INCREDIBLE!! He's been to our property (Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor) for a handful of weddings this season and each time I'm relieved to see him. His experience and creativity is unique, playful and beautiful. Our couples are always so pleased with the photos and overall the experience of their big day when it comes to LoveDays. One wedding in particular (Ferrari Benotti Wedding) had incredible photos from downtown Boston. Many of those photos were highlighted in the @Onlybos Instagram and we had couples request Wayne's information from it. Incredible photos and great experience, 10/10 recommend.

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

Hiring Maggie was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. She captured our day perfectly, and we were thrilled with how the photos turned out. Maggie has such a fun and genuine energy that comes through in her work and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Working with Maggie was a breeze - she has a lot of knowledge and experience and gives great advice for the whole wedding day. She really listened to what we wanted and understood the vision for our day; nothing about working with her felt cookie-cutter or impersonal. Maggie has an incredible eye for capturing all the little moments that make up a wedding day, and we feel lucky to have those memories captured to look back on. We cannot recommend Maggie enough!

Emily was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. We wanted more natural and candid photos and she did just that! Through some of the chaos that occured, she went above and beyond to make sure we were okay. Emily even stayed later to take photos of us at our after party, although it was later than our contracted time. The only thing better than Emily's warm and professional personality are the photos she delivers. We haven't been able to stop sharing our sneak peek images and can't wait to see them all. We can't recommend Emily enough for any event you may need photography for! We would love to hire her again!

She brought out the best of us in our photographs by being very personable, understanding, and chipper when we needed it.

My heart beats for photographing a story worth telling, and finding the funny, quirky, moving little moments throughout that narrative.

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’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.

Seriously where to begin with how incredible Marla is as an incredible and artistic photographer, professional and organized business owner, and welcoming and beautiful person. She immediately makes you feel comfortable talking with her and she puts a ton of effort into getting to know you and your story. She cares so deeply about her couples and goes above and beyond with client experience before, during, and after your session with her. You spend a ton of time with your photographer, and this is who you want as your cheerleader, your confidant, and your friend on wedding/elopement day. Her eye for light is inspiring and you never again will say "I'm so awkward in front of the camera" because her posing is effortless and genuine. She brings out the best in you and your partner and your connection. Candid moments, deep emotion, and joyful forever memories! Marla is the photographer you've been looking for!

Dasha's ability to capture the essence of each moment with her artistic eye and expertise ensured that every shot she took was perfect. She seamlessly integrated into the day, effortlessly coordinating with the bridal party and other vendors to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I was particularly impressed by her professionalism. Dasha's commitment to quality and her friendly demeanor make her an invaluable asset to any wedding team.
