My gift is my vulnerability, passion, and dedication. I believe every image has the power to evoke emotions that can't be expressed in words. I'm dedicated to creating imagery that speaks to your heart and soul, capturing the essence of a moment and evoking powerful emotions that will last a lifetime. I want to be your newest best friend behind the camera, capturing your honest love, the miracle of life, and your passion for life. Your truth is my mission.

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.

Working with Amy was a dream! She has such calm energy and was able to pivot quickly as rain interrupted our pre-wedding photos. She also managed to wrangle our family & friends group photos, even during cocktail hour! We had so much fun working with her. And the photos are stunning! Our sneak peek was perfect and we are looking forward to the rest. And we loved the unexpected tie to Montana even when getting married in Colorado!

My wedding was in May and the weather surprised us by dumping buckets of rain during the ceremony. Thomas was so helpful with all of his direction and suggestions for the ceremony. He was able to keep his cool and roll with the punches on our very crazy day. Our Photos are absolutely stunning! I honestly can't say enough good things about him. He took so many photos and his editing is wonderful. He also did our engagement photos all the way in Yosemite. He not only drove 3 hours one way for the engagement shoot but also drove an obscene amount of hours for our wedding. He put in so much work and I can't thank him enough.

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!

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
Roberta is nothing short of AMAZING. The quality of her work speaks for itself, but working with her is just as impressive! She's extremely personable, so easy to work with, and makes you feel right at home in front of the camera. She really takes the time to get to know her clients to provide the shots they desire most. Not to mention she can roll with the punches! Between the location for our engagement shoot being under maintenance, to my husband never being available for meetings, to an overly windy wedding day - none of it phased her and she was more than accommodating. We received all of our photos in what felt like no time at all and the website she uses for her album design and printing is extremely user friendly! We couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture our big day and plan to continue to use her for all our future photo needs :)

  • Serves Solvang, CA for additional fees

Like most children in the late 90's and early 00's, I grew up with a camera in my hand. I went through polaroids, video cameras, disposable cameras, waterproof cameras, and film cameras; all the cameras! I was so fascinated by photography and the ability to preserve moments. I'm an ENFP, 7w6, and extroverted-introvert who is not only thrilled but humbled to be a witness and historian to the significant moments in your life we are able to share together!

Lindsey is amazing! We worked with her for our engagement photo shoot and we couldn’t be happier. She listened to all our wish list items for location and came up with several ideas. She made us feel so comfortable during the shoot since we had never gotten professional photos before. Plus - our location was pretty far away from Seattle and we had a blast getting to know each other in the car ride to and from the location. Highly recommended!

I'm Val - I value authenticity, connection, and love. I feel so lucky to spend my days photographing weddings, traveling to new places, and witnessing couples sharing their heart. I can’t think of a better way to spend my days. As someone who is married, I deeply understand how significant and special a wedding day truly is. It’s about the love, the people, and all the emotions felt—the moments you’ll cherish and reminisce for decades to come.

I first met Valerie when she was photographing my friend's elopement, and she really made the day even more special. Her photos turned out absolutely amazing! I couldn't wait for a chance to hire her for my own engagement or elopement. So, when the opportunity came up for a fun couples shoot, I jumped on it. Having her shoot us felt like just my boyfriend and I alone – super relaxed and no awkwardness in front of the camera. Once again, her photos blew us away. We're totally obsessed and definitely planning to book her for our engagement or wedding, maybe even both!

Chasing Chickadees is hands down the best photography team I have ever worked with. Alicia was exceptional from the moment I expressed interest in booking for my wedding. She responded quickly and provided me with the most well-organized formals guide, as well as a sample contract and timeline which reflected exactly what I mentioned wanting on my wedding day. She followed up with me several times as we approached my date and had me feeling special with every interaction. I could tell her and her husband Keith made sure to visit the venue prior to the big day because they were very well prepared! I really enjoyed the time Alicia spent with me and my bridesmaids while Keith spent time with the groom and his groomsmen. They had endless pose ideas and made us feel so comfortable and confident. They were very efficient and professional, but also bubbly and fun. The photos were INCREDIBLE! They captured EVERY moment perfectly. I had so many favorites, but the photo they took of everyone in attendance for my ceremony was extra special (and impressive)! I had access to an online library so soon after the wedding. Downloading was easy and I even had the option of ordering prints directly from the portal. Alicia followed up to make sure I loved my pictures and she even sent me the sweetest little memento over the holidays. I can go on forever, but what matters most is that I would book them a thousand more times! They contributed to the perfect wedding in many ways. Stop looking elsewhere, you want them!

Andy is the absolute dream to work with! We were lucky enough to meet Andy through a wedding expo event at Hunter Ranch where we won an engagement photoshoot with him through one of the event raffles. Upon formally meeting him at the engagement shoot, we instantly felt how down to earth and easy Andy was to chat and work with. He made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease during the whole shoot and then went the extra mile and got us our photos within 48 hrs. We instantly hired him for our wedding and it was truly the best decision we could have made. The time leading up to the wedding, Andy was a clear communicator always offering ideas or working with us directly to learn exactly what style, ideas, anything specific we wanted capture for our big day and when it came to the big day, he absolutely crushed the vision and went above and beyond to capture our love and connection in photo form. He was open to any and every idea and loves to think outside of the box when it comes to fun photo visions. He provided us with the most beautiful photos we could have ever wanted. He was a vital person to help us lock down our wedding timeline and ensure we took photos when we wanted and he was super great at also allowing us time to fully soak in our wedding and not be pulled away for too long each time. Andy is truly an incredible photographer and person. We could not recommend him as a photographer for any special event, and especially for weddings.

Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!

These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

There are not enough stars in the world to give Maya and their assistant Anne!! My wife and I hired them for our wedding, and they absolutely outdid themself. They were professional, timely, and incredibly fun to be around!! We even had a little mixup with family photos, and they worked through it with ease and grace. They never stressed anyone out either, which is HUGE for an event as big as a wedding. I honestly would have loved having them there as invited guests, photography aside! I’d be remiss to not mention the final photos—we have received a handful of edited photos to share with family, and they are GORGEOUS. Everybody we’ve shown them to has commented on how beautifully they turned out, and oh my god they really did!! Maya is absolutely worth every penny you pay for them and more. I cannot recommend them enough for your photography needs!!!

I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy? I believe in capturing the big moments, but the small moments too. I believe in being true to yourself and true to each other. I believe in capturing true emotions, both good and bad. I believe that photographs are keys that can unlock the past after years have gone by, and that looking at the past is how we move towards the future.

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

On the day of the wedding and through the prep leading up to the big day, her fun and friendly personality shone through. She was organized, calm, and seamlessly blended into the background while still guiding us through various moments. The quality of her work is truly outstanding; every photo is beautifully composed and tells a story. She has an incredible eye for detail, capturing not just the big moments but also the little, candid interactions that made our day unique. We are absolutely thrilled with the final images and grateful for the memories she helped preserve. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only skilled but genuinely cares about her clients, Sam at Golden Hour Images is the perfect choice.

Hi! ​My name is Bouquet and I am a published photographer. I was born and raised in Thailand, lived in NJ, HI, and now FL! My portfolio showcases some of my favorite images from the past few years with various lighting and locations, so you know I can handle every situations you may have on your wedding day! I strive to create photographs that not only capture a moment but also capture a feeling and essence.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a non-traditional wedding and were on a tight budget, but Bouquet was able to accommodate us and provide us with a wonderful experience. We were only doing church photos, a few couples' shots, and minimal coverage of our reception. Bouquet sent a thorough questionnaire beforehand to inform her of the run of show for the day and our expectations. She arrived on time, introduced herself and got to work! Bouquet was a joy to work with. She was game for all of our ideas and made sure we got all the requested shots and then some. We wanted to do some more candid photos with grittier NYC shots as the background. Bouquet was totally game and really followed our lead while giving some helpful suggestions for specific poses. She had the best attitude, wasn't pushy at all, and treated everyone so kindly. We loved working with her and highly recommend her for your wedding.

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim-Trang Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the start, Kim’s communication style was ahead of the game - she was warm, friendly, and we were excited to have her on our team. Kim is talented and committed and truly captured the joy and intimacy of our special day. She connected with us and our family in a way that felt more like having a friend there than just a vendor. One of our favorite touches was the sweet Polaroids she left with our wedding cards - the perfect surprise when we were feeling a bit of the post-wedding blues. We couldn't be happier with the sneak peeks we've seen so far and can't wait to see the full gallery. Kim-Trang Photography went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

Irina is an awesome and experienced photographer which is helpful when you have no idea what to expect on your wedding day. She works with you and your coordinator to make sure you get the shots you want. She even recommended some based on previous weddings she did at our venue. The planning process was straightforward and her rates were reasonable. On the day of the wedding she helped us get ready and reassured us that everything would be okay. She never stopped taking pictures and captured some wonderful moments throughout the night. We anxiously awaited our photos and they turned out better than we expected. She did a wonderful job capturing all the important memories. All of the pictures were gorgeous and she really made you feel special. We definitely recommend her to anyone getting married in the Carlsbad area!

I am honored to have the opportunity to laugh…to cry…to share your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
The first part of wedding planning for us was finding the photographer because it was the most important to me (other than the man I was marrying). I was prepared to search high and low to find the perfect photographer, but Jessica found us! After attending a wedding expo she reached out and offered her services. We met for coffee and discussed our hopes and dreams for our upcoming wedding. There was an instant connection! I told Jessica wedding photos were at the top of my priority list, because they’re what lasts forever. I can look back on those photos and remember the excitement, happiness, and pure joy of marrying the man of my dreams. I told her I was looking for someone to capture the little moments along with the big. Jessica promised us everything we asked for and, man oh man, she delivered!!! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Every part of the process was made simple because of her organization and talent. Every communication we had was prompt, thoughtful, and respectful. She listened to our wishes, offered her expertise, and created unbelievable results!! Jessica and her assistant (Crystal) were fun to be around and made our sessions with them fly by. They made sure every detail was picture-perfect… even during our freezing cold outdoor engagement session. If anyone asks me for a photographer, Jessica is the name I give, every single time. She signed on to do our wedding, but we are now her clients for life because no one will compare to the incredible job she does. Let me squash any doubts you have and help you with the best decision you’ll make when it comes to finding a photographer… just hire Jessica Yahn!! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with her!!

Even with the delay, she was able to finish the family pictures, our couples pics, and the wedding party AND still managed to get us to the reception ON TIME!
