  • Serves Solvang, CA for additional fees

Hello! Hi! It's so nice to meet you. My name is Hilary! I am a Professional Photographer and Super 8 Videographer based in Southern Maine specializing in Elopements, Weddings, Families, Lifestyles, and more. After attending college in Boston for photography, I found myself shooting weddings for friends and have built my casual endeavor into a beautiful, fun business. Since then, I have expanded into Super 8 and film photography focusing on commercial and lifestyle family sessions.

Hilary has a way of quietly capturing the magic in the milestones and the ordinary moments - at weddings and beyond. Every single photo she delivers tells a story of its own, and every time I look back through our images, I notice something new. It's a beautiful thing to witness an artist in action, and to frame her work on your wall later. I recommend Hilary to everyone! For documenting all of life's big stuff and everything in between.

Rebecca y Las Otras

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Solvang, CA for additional fees

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rebecca was awesome beyond words and we highly recommend her. Our wedding was non-traditional and posed some unique challenges. We threw a backyard Halloween party and surprised our guests by exchanging vows at midnight. To go along with the surprise and remain incognito, Rebecca showed up in costume as an old-timey reporter with a "PRESS" marker tucked in her hatband. She pulled the ruse off flawlessly, blending in and chatting effortlessly with our friends so that she could capture those perfectly candid and special moments throughout the night. No one appeared camera shy, no one looked awkward or directed, every last portrait was of a cherished friend at their joyous best. We had been initially concerned about our lighting conditions since the event was outdoors and at night. We couldn't go too overboard with party lights, nor did we want our photographer to be milling through the crowd with a bright flash. Rebecca laid our concerns to rest well before the event, and her expertise with low-light shooting is on display in our gallery. The photos were absolutely stunning. Some of our favorites were the amazingly touching and genuine reactions of surprise when we revealed we were getting married. We could not be happier or have asked for a better photographer experience. We'll cherish these beautiful mementos for the rest of our lives and we cannot recommend Rebecca y las otras enough.

Leaving a five-star review for Cristina G Photography is the easiest decision we've made in the past year. Our entire experience with Cristina was nothing short of amazing. From our initial meeting to discuss photo plans and hear about her extensive experience to the comfort she provided on our wedding day, Cristina has been first-class in every way. Elegant, vibrant, and filled with love - these are just a few adjectives that describe the final pictures from our special day. The level of comfort she instilled in us on our wedding day was priceless, giving us the peace of mind we needed to fully enjoy the moment without any added stress. The array of pictures we received was beyond our expectation. The book Cristina put together for us is absolutely stunning, and we're thrilled to cherish it forever. Cristina's attention to detail is unmatched, and her experience and big heart truly shines through. She is the ultimate professional, capturing the best shots while ensuring we felt comfortable and had fun throughout the process. Blown away is an understatement. We wholeheartedly recommend Cristina and her team to anyone in need of exceptional photography. We eagerly look forward to working with her again for our future family photograph needs.

HER Photography

  • Serves Solvang, CA for additional fees

Texas wedding and elopement photographer for the adventurous and wildly in love couples. My name is Hope and I am here to capture your once in a lifetime ceremonies, adventurous elopements, gentle kisses and romantic portraits.

If you’ve got dreams about how your wedding photography will look, Hope can make every single one of them come true. She was incredibly pleasant and easy to work with, was so knowledgeable and professional the entire time, and made the process a breeze. Her website to view photos is quick and easy to navigate which was so so nice. She was quick to respond, and helped me come up with a timeline that worked for our wedding day. Beyond that, she kept me calm on our wedding day when I really needed it. She was invaluable. When my father was diagnosed with cancer just months before our wedding, we thought we may have to move the ceremony up so he could be there. I contacted Hope and she responded with grace and compassion, and told me to tell her where and when and she would make sure we got those memories. Thankfully, we didn’t have to do that, but her willingness to help made all the difference. Our wedding photos are absolutely incredible. We had a hard time picking which to print because they’re all perfect. Our ceremony pictures captured every beautiful moment and our reception pictures captured all of the fun. We could not have Hoped for more (:

Jose Almeida Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Solvang, CA for additional fees

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

Jose is fantastic! He has so much experience and very professional. Before our wedding day, he always had quick and clear communication. We loved his artistic eye and dramatic style of photography. He knows how to give good direction for those that aren’t used to posing or being photographed, and was always looking for the next shot. He definitely lets you be you and can still get amazing shots. We were surprised at how quickly we got to preview our gallery. After the wedding day, I realized that there was so much I didn’t get to document personally to remember the details from that day. But after seeing some of the shots, Jose had made me so happy to see how much he documented from the day! I highly recommend Jose :)

Kali is amazing!! My husband and I were both nervous for our first photoshoot (which was our engagement session) but she was so relaxed & laid back she easily helped us get over that feeling. We thought we were going to look awkward in our photos but her prompts/poses made for outstanding photos. At our wedding she captured so many meaningful candid pictures as well as posed photos. These memories will last forever! Her editing work is truly wonderful too, I don’t know what she does it but it’s magic. She is someone you can put all of your faith in to capture the best memories from your special event.

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking Rachel Stenger was one of the best vendor decisions that my husband and I made for our wedding day. Even from the first meeting we had with Rachel, she has such a calming and warm presence which we knew was what we would need the day of. She has such a unique way of photographing and capturing moments that make her so special and unlike a lot of other wedding photographers we met with. We did an engagement session with her and she made us feel so at ease, like most couples we're not naturally in front of the camera but she was able to easily talk us through poses throughout the session. We had a call the month of to discuss details with her - e.i, timeline, shot list, etc. This was a great call because it helped all of us get on the same page for day of. Forwarding to the wedding day - Rachel arrived early to start on capturing details. She helped us stay on-time during getting ready and first look since my DoC was at the venue setting up. She was able to capture SO many images throughout the day from getting ready all the way to the dance floor. Aside from the staged/traditional photos you'd expect from the wedding, she captured so many beautiful candid moments. She moved in SILENCE, I truly didn't see her for most of the day (in a good way!) yet we ended up with 750 images in the 7 hrs we hired her for. She captured everything and more. When we finally got the full album - my husband and I spent had an amazing 2 hours reliving every single moment! She blew us away and we were not prepared by how beautifully she captured the day - all of the details, the emotions, and the aesthetics, were EVERYTHING! Her talent is remarkable and we couldn't have asked for anything more. I'd recommend her to anyone - in fact, I already have a friend that's hired her for their day.

I’m an introverted extrovert. And although I’m a terrible singer, I love to chant my favorite songs – everything from T. Swift to hip hop – when I’m in the car! I love tiramisu and coffee with too much milk. Scarves are one of my must-have accessories! I’m addicted to design of all kinds – interior, landscape, graphic, food, fashion, all of it. Childhood memories include Strawberry Shortcake dolls, Fashion Plates, and Fruity Pebbles cereal. And I always had a camera nearby, just like my Dad. Little did I know what an impact these early days would have on my future!

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is not only an incredible artist but an incredible person. She is incredibly thoughtful and has an amazing eye for documenting her couples in a unique and creative perspective. Kathleen is a delight to work with and her couples absolutely love her. Not only for the art she creates, but her couples know they will have the best time working with her. Kathleen makes you feel like an instant friend, and it's because you are! I absolutely recommend Kathleen.

She has a great personality and sense of humor which really made the smiles on all our faces look easy and natural! Our prints are phenomenal and truly captured the sparkle of our special day! We highly recommend her and will be using her in the future for our growing family. Thank you Jayme!

Sufia Huq Portraits 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Solvang, CA for additional fees

I’m a Sunshine State native, a Pisces, and a lover of the outdoors. Photography is my favorite way to connect with people. The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank Sufia enough, for the beautiful photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. I was so nervous to take photos, as I hate having my photo taken at all, that I delayed it for so long. Now, I wish I hadn’t! I’m just seriously blown away, Sufia made me feel like a model! And she was able to capture the love we have for one another in every photo. Not only is she obviously gifted with a talent to really capture people at their most beautiful, but she is such a wonderful person to I have to say I can’t recommend Sufia Huq Portraits highly enough. She has photographed so many important milestones for my family but she truly rose above and beyond all of my expectations as a wedding photographer. I initially hired Sufia for my engagement photos but after seeing how perfect they turned out, I knew she was the only person I could trust with my wedding! On the day of my wedding it truly felt like everything was going wrong. It was raining. I got second degree burns on my chest from a steamer. I had vendors threatening to leave and the catering company stealing my food. The ONE thing that eased the stress of that day was my incredible photographer. Despite how stressed I was, Sufia managed to bring me back into the moment and to capture timeless portraits of my wedding day with my husband, closest friends, and family. When I look back through the photos of my wedding day (which I do often because I’m obsessed), I don’t think about all of the craziness. I think about those precious moments Sufia captured for me. Sufia was more than just a photographer that day. She was a cheerleader. She was a hype woman. She was a friend. She was more than just accommodating. She was flexible. She was dependable. She was KIND. Sufia is an amazing human being with an amazing talent. A wedding day is a huge deal. Sufia Huq Portraits will not disappoint in quality or in kindness.

Hey there, I'm Lili. I have been capturing love stories for the past 8 years. I started out taking friend's and family's senior and family pictures, and eventually that love for photographing turned into documenting wedding days. I'm all about you being yourself and capturing what makes you, you. The quirky, fun, teasing, and weird love that you have. I will be your professional hype woman, third-wheel, dress buttoner, pocket square folder, tear wiper, and everything in between.

I had the opportunity to meet Lili while she was shooting a wedding at our venue. I've worked with many different photographers and she absolutely stands above the rest. She's kind and light-hearted, had everything scheduled wonderfully, and her images were outstanding. I couldn't recommend her more!

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

Kie Thurman Photography

Hi there!! I'm Kie, pronounced like pie. I've been a photographer of some sort for nearly a decade, but weddings didn't come into my life until 2020 (perfect timing!!), it's become my personality trait and I truly don't think I could love doing anything more than this. Some things about me: I prefer series over movies (Gossip Girl, The Office, Buffy TVS, How I Met Your Mother are some of my faves), I'm nothing if not a Paramore fan, I love cute and cheesy romance novels, and I think I am hilarious. I love being your #1 hype girl, joining the party at the reception, and making you comfortable on your big day :)

We will rave about our experience with Kie for the rest of our lives! She is an absolute angel and has exceeded every expectation we have! We booked Kie for our wedding and she did our engagement photos as well! Her work is pure art and absolutely breathtaking. She is one of the most talented photographers we have come across. Not only will her work be the photos of your dreams, but she is such a remarkable person to work with! Kie is so kind, fun, and outgoing, she is very personable and makes you feel comfortable being in front of a camera (like it’s not even there). One comment that my husband made after our first session with Kie for engagement photos, was that it felt like going on a date, we enjoyed ourselves so much, it was really fun and light-hearted. From the very beginning, she was nothing short of amazing! She is flexible with scheduling and was super willing to travel almost 5 states away to photograph our wedding! She was always on time and never skipped a beat! The one thing that we really looked for in a photographer was someone who captures the raw, pure moments, rather than being posed for every picture. Kie does exactly that, you can feel the life and soul in every picture she captures, her photos are better than your pinterest inspiration and will be the art on your wall you will cherish forever. We will definitely be using her for all of our future photography needs and we will definitely be recommending her to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much Kie! God has blessed you with an amazing gift and talent!

A few years ago I was in your shoes, except, I didn't get the images of my dreams. I got a photographer for our wedding day, and I had no idea what I was doing. On the day of my wedding, my photographer made me feel stressed and uncomfortable with all the posing and lack of communication. And when I got my images back, I wasn't happy with the results and there wasn't anything I could do about it. That's why I'm here for YOU! Because your wedding is more than just a day with some photos.

Karina is absolutely amazing!! We thoroughly enjoyed working with her from the very beginning. When we first began our search for our wedding photographer, Karina had sent us a welcome video by text message before scheduling a video call. On our first video call we sat and talked for over an hour! It felt like catching up with a long lost friend. She is so personable, talented, and dedicated - she will go the extra mile to make sure you get the photos of your dreams! Our gallery reveal and experience with Karina was outstanding. Hats off to her!

Kayla Bouren Photography

  • Serves Solvang, CA for additional fees

With a passion for blending editorial sophistication and candid spontaneity, I have honed my craft over the last 6 years, capturing the laughter, tears, and all the tender moments in between. The commitment I make to you extends beyond photography. My meticulous approach begins with anticipating your needs even before they arise, ensuring a seamless, elegant experience. I hold the value of family close to my heart, treating your loved ones as if they were my own, collaborating harmoniously with your vendors, and providing clear communication to ensure your day unfolds flawlessly.

If you're looking at these reviews, I am assuming you are interested in booking Kayla as your wedding photgrapher, and all I have to say is DO IT. Kayla is amazing. She photographed both mine and my brothers weddings. Here are a few things I loved most about having Kayla as my photographer (from a bride)! 1) stress free. Kayla asks for your input and list of wanted photos weeks leading up to the wedding. She then creates a list for day of and takes care of the rest. I did not have to do a single thing managing what photos I wanted the day of my wedding. It allowed me to really enjoy the moment and be present (which is exactly what I wanted). 2) natural candid photos. Kayla does an amazing job of getting your natural smile in photos. I loved my photos. 3) SO many good photos. Kayla provided us with SO many photos to choose from. This allowed me to print off a variety so I didnt have the same few photos all over my house. 4) Comfort. Kayla did an amazing job making me and my husband feel comfortable day of and in the photos. 5) made my vision come true! With both venues we booked, I had a vision of wanting to use the entire venue to allow for different photos opportunities. One of the ideas I had were 'getting ready' photos with my husband in the kitchen. Kayla made my vision more than come true. These are some of my favorite photos she took, and allowed my husband and I to spend time together before walking down the aisle. I am a very picky person, but I would do everything all over again the same exact way for my wedding, including having Kayla as the photographer. I could not recommend Kayla enough!
