It was so wonderful working with Angela! She was very professional and respectful. She made the couple and the bridal party feel at ease while she was directing for her photos. She stuck to the timeline I provided as the coordinator and was flexible when needed! The photos turned out beautiful for the couple! Overall, a great photographer to work with!

Fred Vero Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,675
  • Serves Southwest, PA

Choosing a photographer for your big day can be a little overwhelming. I think it's important when choosing the person that will capture your wedding day to obviously look for quality images in that photographer's work. And you want to look for someone with experience in all types of situations, small weddings to large weddings, from barn weddings to large reception venues. It's not just a matter of comparing one photographer's wedding packages to another photographer's wedding packages.

To say that Fred turned our perception of wedding photographers around would be a drastic understatement. From our first meeting, Fred made our wedding feel important. He strikes this incredible balance between being a consummate professional while also making you feel like you're just making plans for the weekend with a friend. Right off the bat, Fred wanted to know and cared about what we, as a couple, wanted. He was able to outline how most ceremonies go (literally down to 5-minute chunks), provide best practices for getting the shots we wanted, and help guide us in avoiding common issues he'd run across during his time in the business. My partner and I are very detail-oriented people, and Fred was willing to get down to the minutes with us on things like: - How long would a shot take - How would that fit into the overall flow of the wedding - Where we could carve out time to get those special moment photos - When would we be sick of having formal photos taken of us All of which we both appreciated greatly. As an added unexpected bonus, Fred is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about the Pittsburgh scene. We were so impressed by Fred's process that we booked him for our engagement photos, where we thoroughly enjoyed not only his commitment to getting the best photos on a close to 100-degree day but also his random tidbits of knowledge about the surrounding area. It really helped keep the process fun on an otherwise oppressively hot day. Really though, all of these things are just side shows (seriously) to Fred's two greatest strengths: His ability to be invisible while taking photos and how he lets you be in the moment. Fred and his team do a phenomenal job of not interrupting what you're doing to try and get a good shot, and he does what needs to be done to ensure that shot is captured. Trust me, I've seen him pull off some real beach model poses off to the side on the floor to get the right angle. Say one thing about Fred, he’s a man committed to getting the shot. Also, how he manages not to be in the way is downright spooky. So much so that when we were showing these photos to our families, most of them could not remember seeing him or Lucia (his second photographer) anytime after the ceremony, and yet we had HUNDREDS of photos to prove that, not only was he there, but he was doing a bang-up job the whole time. Really, I could go on and on about Fred Vero Photography, but at this point I’d be repeating myself, so here's what I'd tell you. If you're looking for a photographer who will get you the best shots, care about your event, and most importantly, care about you as a person and not just another booking, I would pick Fred Vero Photography every time.

  • Serves Southwest, PA

It's so great to have you here! I call Pittsburgh my home, but I'm always on the lookout for new adventures to satisfy my wanderlust spirit. When I'm not capturing the beautiful moments of a wedding or a couple's photo session, you can find me exploring the great outdoors with my two furry companions, Bodhi and Maui. And of course, I love to wind down with a good book and a warm cup of coffee. So, let's get to know each other and make some amazing memories!

Awarded Best of Zola
Mandie comes HIGHLY recommended by my husband and I. We had the pleasure of working with Mandie for both our engagement and wedding photographs. She took the time to meet with us before each session to truly get to know us. During the sessions Mandie made us feel like we have all been friends forever. She is definitely a natural and it shows through her work. She made us feel so comfortable! The day of our wedding she seriously worked her butt off! From the beautiful detail shots she took, to the sweet pictures of my bridesmaids and I, to all of the amazing pictures she took of my husband and I, we were truly so happy with the final results. It took us over 4 hours to look at all of the pictures she took. She even had our “sneak peek” pictures done within 48hrs of our wedding!! Unbelievable! We are truly blessed to have found Mandie and plan to have her as our new family photographer moving forward.

My name is Kashia. I know you're looking at my name wondering how in the world do you pronounce that, no worries I am here to help! It is pronounced Asia- with a K in front. Have you ever had an "ah-ha" moment in when you realize that what you're doing as a hobby you could turn into something much more? I am going to be that girl and say it, I am the one that grew up with a camera in my hand! When that turned into taking pictures of my fur babies AND my very own beautiful babies that is when my "ah-ha!" moment hit me. I wanted to capture these memories not only for my own walls, but for other people also.

Kashia effortlessly shot our wedding day and captured every memorable moment possible. She went above and beyond to ensure we would have all of our special moments caught on camera.

My entire life, I have always been an artist and super creative. I have been shooting for a little over 9 years now. WOW it feels so weird saying that. I am so honored to get to do what I do everyday and I seriously wouldn't have it any other way. I started off with a little point and shoot camera where I took photos of my friends to make them feel beautiful and then continued to grow and grow to where I am today. I am naturally energetic and will be your #1 hype woman throughout the entire day.

Sami was the most amazing photographer. She was so fun and easy to work with. Her photos were GORGEOUS. I had the most amazing experience working with her and her team. I would recommend her 10/10.

At Chelsey Rae Evans Photography, we offer intimate elopements, wedding celebrations, and engagement sessions. My goal is to create an elevated experience using intentional artistry and an editorial style that allows you to feel your best self while finding joy in effortless moments. I'm very easy going, and you'll never be pressured to be anyone but yourself! If you cherish your wedding day photos and want moments that wow while making you feel your natural, beautiful self, then we're the right fit! Think of documentary photos that set the scene and tell a story in a fashion-forward way.

John and I got engaged in our hometown but decided to do a destination wedding. We found dozens of photographers but Chelsey's photos really stuck out to us because it was exactly what we wanted. We reached out and she got back to us the next day (We messaged her at like 11 at night). From there on, she personalized the entire experience for us, all the way from meeting for the first time, planning our style and what we wanted, down to the exact fine details of specific shots that we wanted (And many more that she recommended) . I had no idea how detailed photography can be! But when our pictures came back, I simply could not believe the level of attention she took. Chelsey is not just great at what she does, she's very friendly and is truly genuine in caring about the people she works with. Girl... if I can nominate you somewhere, let me know. I'll fill that form out immediately! :)

Amy Jennings Photography Videography captures your special moments and make memories come alive everytime you look at a picture. Personally & Professionally I believe in inclusion and equality to all.

From the first night we talked with Amy about our engagement photos, wedding vision and desires for timeless and clean pictures and videography, both Amy and Scott exceeded our expectations. Looking back on our wedding day, Amy and Scott were so much more than our photographer and videographer. They captured our day beautifully and worked seamlessly with our additional vendors to make the day perfect. Amy also came to our rehearsal dinner to further help in the organization which was amazing. The quality of the work that Amy and Scott Jennings produce is a reflection of the kind and wonderful people that they are. Five stars is truly not enough to rate Amy Jennings because she is an extraordinary talent. We would highly recommend Jennings Photography without reservation! Thank you, Scott and Amy both for using your gifts to produce priceless pictures of our special day!!

Aaron McGregor Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,899
  • Serves Southwest, PA

I have been involved with photography all my life. When language was a barrier, I relied on the medium to tell a story while studying in Europe & earned a BFA from the University of Arizona majoring in photography. My past experiences include the Department Head of Photography at a career school in the Pittsburgh area. I learned a ton of technical knowledge while working at commercial & retail photo studios as well as custom photo labs. I reside in N. Huntingdon with my wife, Heather and our son, Emmett. They are both a constant source of inspiration & support.

Aaron came highly recommended to us when we were looking for a wedding photographer - and for good reason! He and his co-photographer Chris, not only captured absolutely EVERY perfect moment of the day, but they did it with friendliness, creativity, and top-notch professionalism. From posed formal shots to organic action photos, my new husband and I have a gorgeous collection to treasure for a lifetime. Trust us, you do NOT want to skimp on the quality of your photographer. And these guys are the best! (But not at a price that will eat up your wedding budget!) Just let their beautiful portfolios speak for themselves :)

Okay, let me just start by confessing that I will absolutely 100% tear up at some point during your wedding day. I am a sappy, true to heart romantic. Based out of Pittsburgh, PA I am an intimate wedding + elopement photographer who finds bliss in documenting sincere moments of love. Each couple has their own love story and I believe that story should be photographed in a way that highlights the natural aura of those involved. Working with couples to create a unique intimate wedding day that reflects their visions for how to celebrate that love is what I enjoy most.

Liz and JP did such an amazing job with the photos for our wedding. Liz was professional from day one and helped us with organizing and scheduling the day. We ended up having a rainy wedding day, but Liz was excited to adventure out in it anyways. I'm so glad we did because the photos were so worth it. They captured the vibe of the day PERFECTLY. I would totally recommend them to anyone who wants unique and timeless photos of their wedding.

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Our deposit is 20% down to book and the remaining balance can be broken down into 3-4 increments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Reflections Media Pennsylvania as our wedding photographer and were very happy with their services. They were great at communication - thoroughly documenting details over email and phone calls leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, they jumped right in to capture candid moments as they happened. For example, they photographed all of our guests arriving at the cocktail hour with us. The photos turned out beautifully, really capturing the spirit of our wedding at a fair price. My only minor critique would be that it was hard to pose for some of the more formal shots because the photographer didn't do a countdown before snapping the pic. And unfortunately due to the event timing, we were not able to take as much photos with the family/bridal party as we had wanted in our consultation. I would recommend couples to keep in mind specific shots during the wedding; the wedding day was extremely hectic for us but it would have been nice to have the photographer (us as well) remember our consultation on what shots we were important for us for them to photograph. But overall, I'd recommend Reflections Media to other couples looking to preserve memories of their special day.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

From the very first interaction, the team at Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was incredibly responsive, patient, and detailed in their communication with us. On our wedding day, their incredible attention to detail was evident in the stunning photos they captured. They were constantly checking in with us throughout the reception to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted. As a couple who isn't always comfortable in front of the camera, Mario made us feel at ease and was able to create the exact type of photos we had envisioned. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable, and we have Once Like a Spark to thank for preserving those memories so beautifully. We would absolutely recommend them to any couple planning their big day!

We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!
