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 Walston is considerate of those around her, kind, and efficient in her own work. She is easy going, yet confident in what she is doing and leads well!

Richa Parekh Photography

  • 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!

Mariah R. Photography & Film 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA

Light and bright, timeless photographs and videos for weddings and couples. ND, New England & CA based, available for travel. I describe myself as kind of Type A, kind of Type B. When it comes to photographing your wedding, I take a mixed approach of being a "fly on the wall" and guiding when appropriate. Lots of times my couples see their galleries and noticed things they had no clue even happened during the day. Candids and true documentary style photographs are what I strive to provide, as well as traditional photographs and poses.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Mariah more than 5 stars I would. She was absolutely amazing at my wedding and it could not have been a better day because of her. She caught so many details that I would have never seen nor caught with the craziness of being the bride on the big day. She made me feel comfortable and excited to take more pictures. She was open to any of the crazy ideas I had and handled everything with ease! I absolutely could not recommend more!

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!

Hello, future clients! I am honored that you are viewing my passion and interested in who I am! I always aim to photograph people in the most beautiful spots around NWA!

I bought my first camera (small red Kodak) when I was 11, and I have been photographing anything and everything ever since! 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!

My husband and I eloped in the woods, and Danielle was wonderful through it all. She was professional, patient with our old selves, and an absolute joy. We would no doubt hire her again.

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.

  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA for additional fees

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.

My name is Derrica and I’m 31 years old. Photography has been my passion since a child. Some days I still can't believe that I get to do this as my job. Photographs have the incredible power to make me feel happy, excited, reflective, proud, thankful, peaceful, and an abundance of love. I see something beautiful in everything and everyone. With a photojournalistic approach, my style reflects all of the emotions that your wedding day will bestow upon you and your loved ones. I love what I do and with my confidence and creativity, I’m sure you will too!

What a experience my husband and I had. We had nothing but a great time she made us very comfortable and capture a lot of great moments . She put a lot of effort into her craft and it shows. I will definitely use D360 again.

Elizabeth Yanna Photography

  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA for additional fees

Hey there! I am Elizabeth, the owner & head photographer of Elizabeth Yanna Photography. I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

Elizabeth was a pleasure to work with. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable, and that shines through in the photos. We are obsessed with how our wedding pictures turned out. She’s the best!
