Taylor Dewey Photo 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA

I am a lover of love and adventure. I am a pretty down person (I free dive with sharks so if that doesn't say something...) I moved to Hawaii in 4 hours notice and quit my corporate job to chase my dreams and here I am! I'm a bit of a minimalist like to think I'm pretty fun. I'm an ocean conservationist and use my skills to also educate people about human impacts and ways to make shifts in our own lives in order to help the planet. I am really big on quality over quantity. I would rather deliver a handful of WOW photos over a ton of average photos to fill a number.

Taylor was such a phenomenal part of our special micro-wedding! She really listened to our requests and made sure we took everyone photo we were hoping for! On another note, with our wedding being a destination I was unable to meet with Taylor before our wedding and I never once felt uncomfortable during the process. She made sure we discussed all the details and ensured me she would be able to deliver what we were dreaming of. I would highly recommend using her services even if you are dreaming of a destination wedding! We highly recommend using Taylor as your wedding photographer (you wont regret it)!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my page! My name is Richa and photography has been a lifelong passion of mine! My most favorite part about it is capturing the little moments that seem so small, but one day you look back and realize they were the big ones! I love happiness. I love laughter. But most of all, I love LOVE!! I feel so privileged to be able to capture YOUR love.

I found Richa at an Indian wedding expo, and from the beginning, I had a really good feeling about her. The pictures displayed at her booth caught my eye and I was immediately drawn to her photography style. She was a complete sweetheart throughout our entire wedding, and made us feel so comfortable! Her pictures of us are AMAZING, and I have had multiple friends compliment our engagement and wedding photos. Multiple couples have asked for her information for their own weddings! I am so fortunate to have found her - she captured our wedding so beautifully. Thank you so much Richa for being the photographer of our dreams! We love you!

Jamie English Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA

Hi all! I'll be honest, I've never loved writing bios. I'd much rather start up an email or hop on the phone with you and get to know each other in a more personal way! But until then - my name is Jamie and I've been in love with photography most of my life now (over 20 years!) and in business photographing weddings, families, and non-profits for 7 years. I'm married to the sweetest man, spend my days playing with the cutest babe, and love to travel and spend time with family and friends any chance I get. Studying art inspires me, reading ignites my curiosity, and experiencing other cultures gives me life. I hope I can get to know you too!

We found Jamie by a sheer stroke of luck - referred through another wedding photographer whose prices were WAY (way way) beyond our budget. From our first communication it was apparent she’s such a genuine and loving person - in addition to being an incredible resource on all things wedding-planning related. We actually used Zola’s wedding registry based on her recommendation! At the last minute, we decided to scrap the wedding planning (deposits be darned) and elope instead. Rather than balking, Jamie jumped at the opportunity to shoot the elopement and even served as our witness! She spent all day with us and shot hundreds of beautiful, high quality photos which she delivered in just a few weeks time. Since then, we’ve had her shoot our engagement photos (after the elopement!), maternity photos and annual family photos. We even gifted our mom a photo session for her 50th birthday. Each experience with Jamie has been so special - she puts us right at ease and captures the intimate moments in between. We can not recommend her highly enough!

I have since upgraded my camera equipment, if you can't tell, and I would love the chance to photograph you and everyone you know and love! I can't wait to be a part of and capture your most special moments!

I have know Danielle through high school and college. My husband and I planned to have our wedding in Cabo but due to health reasons on his family side, we decided to have it in NWA. I had 2 months to plan it and Danielle was the first person I thought of to take our wedding photos. She captured the best moments and moments that I didn’t even think of. My grandfather and MIL passed away within our first year of marriage and Danielle’s photos from our wedding consist of our most favorite last pictures of them.

One of our favorite parts was how excited she would get every time she captured a really great shot - it increased our confidence and excitement about what we were doing, and I think ultimately created an even better product. When Abby sent us our photos, they were vibrant and wonderfully candid - just what we wanted!

We are a collaboration of photographers and editors bringing together unique ideas and electrifying energy. We are eager and excited to work with couples on one of the most exciting days of their lives!

Mark and I are from Brooklyn, NY. We were looking for a photography company to capture our wedding day. I came across Reflect Studios online. I loved their candid style of photography. We emailed back and forth to for several weeks before we pulled the trigger. I love their work but wanted to make sure they had the same vision that Mark and I did as well. They arrived in New York the morning prior to the wedding and came to all of the pre-wedding events. Our photographer, Sian, was amazing to work with. We strayed away from the posed photographs as much as we could and let Sian photograph the day as it unfolded. Our wedding day was perfect and the images really reflect that. All of the photos that we received were absolutely beautiful.

Wedding photography for unconventional people. At the core of my practice as a wedding photographer, I believe: - that if your wedding traditions are not authentic and meaningful to you, then you deserve the freedom to build new traditions. - that men, women, and people of all genders are beautiful and deserve to have that beauty celebrated. - that we are most beautiful when we love fully and without reserve. - that no wedding or elopement is too small to commemorate. - that photographs are the record of memory and of personal history. - that you deserve to remember this.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kate's an excellent photographer. She has a real knack for making her photos feel magical—something about how she works with light, how she's able to capture the glamorous side of everyone. She did a lovely job with our wedding photos, and was friendly and helpful through the whole process—I can't recommend her enough.
