Kat Pulse Photography & Visual Design LLC

  • Serves Stanford, CA for additional fees

Growing up, my Mom taught me the importance of capturing every moment possible. She always had her disposable camera at the ready for birthday parties, graduations, holiday get-togethers, & more. I remember getting SO excited when the photos were finally developed! To this day, we look back at those photos & still feel the emotions, hear the laughs, & feel the warm embrace of loved ones who are no longer with us. Capturing these memories means everything to me because you're not just receiving a photo... You're capturing memories that will last lifetimes.

Kat was my answer to my prayers. From the first interaction and conversation to discuss my wedding, she was the sweetest and just so attentive to my vision for the pictures. She made sure to be there early to take pre wedding photos, there was quite a few changes along the day and she was quick to adapt to them and stay professional through it all. She took so many pictures and so many angles and made me feel comfortable. She also had the most unique ideas for poses. She captured all that I wanted. When I got my sneak peek pictures, I teared up as they were more than I could have imagined. They completely exceeded my and my husband’s expectations and we could not wait to see the rest. Once we received the rest, all we could do was smile. Highly recommended. Kat is the best because she is such a beautiful person and it shines through her work. She pays attention to detail and will not disappoint! So thankful that she was our photographer.

Lauren Rae Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,250
  • Serves Stanford, CA for additional fees

We're wedding & elopement photographers who have spent the last 15 years traveling all over the US for our couples! We're relocating to Las Vegas from Atlanta this year, and are so excited to spend more time doing what we love - making incredible images and giving a killer wedding day experience to each and every one of our clients. Whether you're planning an elaborate, traditional wedding day or an elopement in the desert, we're here for you. We're the photographers who will make you laugh, carry your flowers, make sure you hydrate, and will give you priceless photos you'll treasure forever.

I cannot recommend Lauren enough! My husband and I visited Death Valley NP a few years ago and could not have imagined we would get the opportunity to have a photo shoot there… Lauren made it possible for us. Aside from the fact that it was hot, there was limited places to stay, and no cell service, Lauren planned and executed this day flawlessly. She camped out the night before and even drove our videographer around the park with her. Lauren took the lead and really went out of her way. On top of all this, the photos she delivered were stunning. She’s an absolute gem of a photographer and person. We highly recommend Lauren for your next photo shoot!

Katie Arnold Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,600
  • Serves Stanford, CA for additional fees

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

After doing much research, I was blessed to stumble across Katie on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her work; her photos are rarely staged, all authentic, “in the moment” candid shots. On top of her amazing work she is the most kind hearted, down the earth person. Going to our engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect. We immediately felt comfortable with Katie and never felt awkward. We had to postpone due to COVID and Katie was so easy and accommodating! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, there truly isn’t a bad shot! I recommend Katie to every one and will continue to go to her in the future for any of my photography needs :)

The New Romantic 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $9,500
  • Serves Stanford, CA for additional fees

I'm Megan, a fine art wedding photographer serving New England & the Pacific Northwest. I've been photographing weddings since 2015, and I still tear up during just about every wedding ceremony. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm running after my one year old daughter, renovating our 1932 colonial home, and adding to my continually growing collection of cookbooks.

Megan is one of the kindest, nicest, most wonderful humans, on top of being a truly fantastic photographer. From the first call to discuss her style and how the process would go, we could tell she was different. She was so easy to work with! She made everything feel so natural and put both me and my now-husband at ease. She was considerate and creative both during our engagement shoot and our actual wedding day, offering suggestions and taking advantage of the beautiful scenery, golden hour, and spontaneous moments to truly capture our day. She treated us and our party with tenderness and grace, and brought an incredible calm to a very busy day. Her photos are also absolutely gorgeous! Looking at them, I honestly can’t believe they’re real! She elevated what she saw and captured our day, distilling the emotions and experience, and produced photos that are a perfect encapsulation of our day: full of pure joy, love, and light. I am so glad we worked with Megan - we will treasure the moments she captured forever. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Tiffany Le Visuals 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Stanford, CA for additional fees

Hello! I’m a photographer, videographer, dancer, martial arts instructor, master Ikea furniture builder, and future friend to you. I spend my free time aimlessly roaming around Target, watching RuPaul’s Drag Race, 8/10 times successfully making my partner laugh, and mastering the art of the air fryer. Being a queer photographer gives me great pride and gratitude because representation matters. Part of being queer is knowing, at my core, that inclusivity and safe spaces are essential, and that is the exact atmosphere I strive to create with any couple I capture for. If interested in booking please contact me through my website!

Tiffany Le Visuals was an amazing wedding photographer! Tiffany made us feel at ease with her friendly, familiar communication style that put smiles on our faces. On the big day, Tiffany brought a sense of comfortable organization that allowed us to fully enjoy our moments while capturing artistic, lovely photos that we'll cherish forever. The images perfectly encapsulate the beauty and emotions of our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a more talented, personable photographer to contribute to making our day so incredibly special. I'd recommend Tiffany Le Visuals for any couple wanting stunning, artistic wedding photography with a photographer who feels like an old friend.

Amare Images

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Stanford, CA for additional fees

We are a photography & videography husband & wife team based in San Diego and Seattle. We love to travel around the world taking photos! Our editing style is true to life and our goal is to capture the feeling of the moment in our images. We enjoy spending our time outdoors with great company. We love working with clients who share our love for nature and adventure! We like to draw our inspiration from the beauty of the environment and how these surroundings make you feel in the moment. Our goal is to tell your story through our photographs and we hope that they become a memento of a special chapter in your journey.

Dylan and Pauline of Amare Images were so incredible to work with. We booked an engagement shoot with them and absolutely loved their photos so we HAD to have them shoot our wedding. They are two kind people who were easy to talk to and made both my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our wedding photos turned out amazing as well. I loved that they took time to capture candids as well as posed shots. They even offered video services and the video was definitely the highlight of our wedding package. The video had a beautiful, loving song to start and then it transitioned into highlighting the party that our wedding was. Our galleries were delivered in a timely manner and they even sent the audio from our speeches and private vow session. Vic and I loved working with Dylan and Pauline :)

Gabrielle von Heyking Photographie

Hi, I'm Gabrielle! Love is a legacy, and photos of that love should last for a lifetime. Your wedding is the start of your greatest adventure. That’s why I capture your unique, beautiful images, so you never stop appreciating those drop-dead gorgeous moments. I’m the photographer for soulmates, lovers, and best friends for life, always here to make you feel uplifted & valued as you journey your way towards your wedding— the best day of your life. You are seen, you are beautiful, and your moments deserve the best. Are you ready for uniquely captured images you’ll remember for a lifetime?

We were beyond lucky to have Gabrielle as our wedding photographer! Her work is absolutely incredible, and the photos she captured are the best I’ve ever seen. I have two kids who were part of the big day, and she was so patient and engaging with them, making them feel comfortable and even excited about being in the photos. One thing that really stood out was how flexible she was. We didn’t need engagement photos (which were part of our contract), so she offered to take family photos instead, and they turned out beautifully. Gabrielle was incredibly organized and kept everything running smoothly. She communicated with us throughout the entire process, and on the day of the wedding, she made sure we stayed on schedule without feeling rushed. Her attention to detail and ability to capture the most precious moments made our day even more special. I feel so fortunate to have had her document these memories for us, and I can’t recommend her enough!

Bethany Wolf Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Stanford, CA for additional fees

A true adventure junkie. As soon as I see a photo of a beautiful landscape, I'm ready to roll. I've traveled to 26 states, visited 14 National Parks, and have lived in 6 states! For 25 years of life, I say I'm doing pretty good with the whole 'experience' aspect. Along the way I've managed to accumulate 4 amazing pets. A Pitty, German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, and a REALLY cute cat. On a normal day, you can find me slumped in front of my computer, burying myself in my work (I'm obsessed okay) with some show playing in the background. I love cooking new recipes and feeding my loved ones (probably just as much as I love capturing your love).

I don't even know where to start! A few years back I found Bethany's photography page on Facebook, I loved her work so much that I have been following her since then. When the time came that I needed to plan for my own wedding this year, I did not think twice and reached out to her as soon as we got the final date of our wedding. At that time, I did not even know where the celebration would be or what theme/colors we will choose for our wedding. I booked her even before finding my own wedding dress! Trevor and I literally only had three months to prep for a whole wedding. I just knew in my heart that I had to book her first before anything else! She sent us a long questionnaire so that she can have an overview of who we are as a couple and to find out what we expect from her. This showed that she makes all her services very personal. The first time Trevor and I met her were during our Engagement shoot. That day was THE most stressful because there were thunderstorms, and our shoot was going to be outdoors. Bethany has been so responsive while monitoring the weather every hour and mind you- she had to travel from NC to VA that day and was very punctual. We ended up going for the shoot because the rain stopped, and it ended up PERFECT! Trevor and I never had the experience to have a professional photoshoot done before, but Bethany made it so easy for us. She gave us cues on what to do and she just captured raw emotions which accurately reflected Trevor and I’s relationship. It was very fun and natural- no awkward moments at all! Here’s the best part- She sent me the sneak peeks of our photoshoot right on the next day! I didn’t have to wait for so long to see some photos and those kept me patient while she worked on the rest of the photos for the weeks to come. The sixth week came, and she sent me all the photos and we were just so obsessed with them! I even had one printed out on a large canvas as our welcome sign for our big day! Bethany went ABOVE AND BEYOND and created a program for our wedding which was very helpful for our wedding planning. She wanted to make sure that everyone (videographer, DJ and MC) will be on board and all the activities will fit on the timeline. On our wedding day, we were running late because of hair and make-up and Bethany stayed calm and still took the best prep wedding photos. She captured everything from the church ceremony, outdoor photos during cocktail hour, and the whole reception. I made the perfect decision to book her for the whole 8 hours. It was well worth it. Since she specializes in outdoor/destination weddings, our indoor ceremony and reception photos still DID NOT disappoint. She captured our emotions as well as of our guests, details of the wedding, all activities, and the dance party. She is amazing at what she does, she loves capturing moments and it shows in her work! Even though she works alone, she was still able to capture EVERYTHING on our wedding day. It’s been a whole month since our big day and I still can't stop looking at our sneak peek photos! I am so excited to see the rest of the photos and we are very grateful that Bethany was the ONE we chose to capture our Best Day Ever. She deserves unlimited stars and I highly recommend her!

Faith Ealy Photography

I am a destination wedding photographer . While I’m based in Arkansas I have a love for destination weddings and elopements. You name the place and let’s go!! When I am not behind the camera taking a picture of you and your loves, Im taking them of my 2 littles living the daily mom grind! I get how crazy life can be but as Dr. Suess said it best "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory!"

I got married in September 2021 and had the best experience with Faith! I ended up catching her while she was doing a Black Friday sale and got a full wedding package for less than 2k! I was able to get engagements, bridals, and a full wedding day with her and at the time she had someone working under her as well so I had two photographers. Faith was great at choreographing poses for photos and working with the direction of the sun. We also loved that she was very kind but also knows how to take control of a large group of people to get great photos. The turn around for my photos was very quick on all three occasions and we loved the finished product! Faith will not only be your photographer but she will be your cheerleader and friend! :)

I'm wholeheartedly committed to ensuring that each of my couples has their precious moments meticulously captured, preserving memories that will endure for years to come.

My husband and I can't sing our praises enough for Cassandra! From beginning to end working with her was a dream. We instantly clicked with her when we had our consultation and we knew we had to have her apart of our day. When we had our engagement session that assured us that we chose the right photographer for our day. The images we received from our session were just beautiful and really captured our love for one another. Everything leading up to our wedding was wonderful and she was extremely helpful as we ran into some hiccups with other vendors and she was there to help us find someone just as amazing. The day of our wedding was better than we could have dreamed. Our vendor team was amazing, Cassandra took care of everything and some, she keep us on our timeline, made the day so enjoyable but also took charge so I wouldn't be stressed out. She is so talented and not only an amazing photographer, but a life long friend now. Thank you so much for giving us photos to cherish for the rest of our lives and giving us the most wonderful experience. We love you!
