Christy and Alex are amazing ! They made us feel comfortable and the photos are a work of art. They capture every nose crinkle, every smile and tear. My family adored them and talked to them during the wedding. They explain what to do and just be yourself! The details of the wedding were captured so beautiful. Highly recommend and they are wonderful people. Feels like a friend not a vendor! Couldn’t thank them enough for making it to Iowa and capturing our big day. These photos are forever and generation after generation. Love Jennifer and Justin

Sokol & Co Photo

Here's what you should know: First, it's pronounced Sokol like 'vocal'. We're Polish... like kraut-and-pierogi-at-every-family-gathering-Polish. Second, we're a husband and wife wedding photography duo that believes it's the little things that make the story come to life. From the knowing glances across a crowded room to the hand squeezes when you're about to walk down the aisle, you can trust us to capture your most romantic, candid moments.

Sokol & Co Photo was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day! From our very first interaction, Savannah was organized, considerate, and prompt in her communication, making the planning process much easier for us. I didn’t have a wedding coordinator, so having Savannah be as organized as she was was SO important. On the day of, she was fun and put us at ease in front of the camera (even my husband who isn’t crazy about photos). The quality of her work is incredible - Savannah has an amazing eye and is so creative! She captured all of our desired shots and so many unique, special moments that I wouldn’t have thought of. Sokol & Co Photo is worth every penny, and we are thrilled to have such perfect photos of our wedding day that we'll cherish forever!

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots. My favorite things are dinosaurs, exploring new cities, board games, soccer, National Parks, and whiskey. I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my partner, two dogs, and four cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I turn 9 this year 🥳!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have used many photographers in the past but none came close to the level of expertise that Leah possesses. Over the years, I've done business headshots with her, family photos, and most recently my wedding. Since I have used Leah's services for other things before, I knew what to expect as far as photo-quality goes; the real testimonial comes from how she handled the wedding. Shooting a wedding in another country with a chaotic family is no easy task, even I wouldn't wish it upon myself, but Leah truly knocked it out of the park: she checked in before the event day to go over the schedule, showed up early, got all of the extra shots that I requested, directed people, and just really took charge of the experience. Having her as my wedding photographer was literally one of the only non-stressful decisions I made for that event lol. The photos turned out beautifully, I really can't imagine having anyone else capture one of the most important events of my life. I recommend her wholeheartedly!!

Gabbie Burseth Photo

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Stanley, NC for additional fees

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabbie was a true delight to work with - easy going, pleasant, responsive, and thoughtful. And did I mention that her photos were AMAZING? She delivered exactly what we wanted: candid, fun, beautiful, artistic shots, on both film and digital formats, that captured our wedding day perfectly. I couldn't recommend her more highly!!

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

We are so lucky to have had Danielle photograph our wedding! She is the BEST, so creative & talented, and makes you feel so comfortable. We have gotten countless compliments saying how professional and amazing she is, and we couldn’t agree more. We cannot wait to see all of our wedding photos come back and relive our special day all over again. We are so grateful for Danielle’s professionalism and artistry. We truly cannot recommend her enough!

I’m absolutely in love with Justina’s work!

I’m so incredibly grateful we had the opportunity to work with her as her photos are stunning! In addition to being incredibly talented, she is also an absolute sweetheart to work with. My husband and I felt like we were just hanging out with a friend during our shoot which ultimately allowed for such natural photos. She truly went above and beyond during the wedding and captured the most precious moments.

While spending the largest part of those years as a photojournalist, editorial photographer and wedding photographer. I have been honored to receive multiple local and national awards along the way. It was in those areas where I honed my skills to be put into any situation and come out with images that tell a beautiful story.

When I was looking for a photographer, I really wanted someone who could do video as well and thankfully Anthony offered both for a reasonable price. He was a great photographer and really put me at ease when things didn’t go quite the way they were supposed to. Anthony really knows how to make you feel beautiful on your wedding day! Even though it was “busy season,” his turnaround time for wedding pictures was fast! I really liked how he didn’t over edit our photos like some photographers do. Him and his videographer (I think his name was Davonte) really put in a lot of time and work to capture my wedding! If you choose him, you won’t be disappointed!!

I believe that wedding photography should be about you. This is your love, your story and your adventure. Here's what I believe you deserve: A. A photographer who listens to your whole story, and gets as invested in it as you want (but not like in a weird way) B. For you to be able leave stress at the door. I've spent years photographing weddings and honing my craft, I've got you covered no matter what. Also, I bring snacks. C. Amazingly personal photographs where you don't feel like a stranger in your own wedding album. I want to give you a fun experience, and allow you to be fully present in the moment.

Alex (and his awesome assistant Maddie) not only perfectly captured our wedding, but they truly helped us celebrate the joy and love we felt on the day. Alex is grounded, calm, and helped us stay focused on one another and our community. He acted like our secret protector, carving out time throughout the night for us to bask in all of the small and big moments. In addition to being immensely talented, he is incredibly professional. Leading up to the wedding he was highly communicative (with both us and our planner) and took the time to get to know us. During the day, he played air traffic controller with our extended families without missing a beat. And he even shared a sneak peak of the previews by the next morning for us to celebrate before our honeymoon. We are so grateful that Alex was our photographer. The photos are timeless, and he is just such a great human.

We booked Shelby after checking out her Instagram and website portfolio. Initially, we were going to use her for the proposal but due to timing ended up using her for our engagement photos. Shelby was incredibly sweet and responsive throughout our communication. No question was too small, and she helped us solidify our location based on the vibe we were looking for. On the day of our pictures, Shelby was very good at helping us relax and ensuring we had fun. We were both a little nervous as we didn't know what to expect but the time went by so quickly, and our photo session was so fun and romantic. Shelby is hilarious, sweet, compassionate, and high-energy. We completely trusted her vision and we were rewarded with wonderful photos for it. She sent over a preview incredibly fast and those pictures were gorgeous! She truly captured the essence of our relationship in her photography. We received our full album a month or so later and are so happy with how the photos turned out. Our friends and family LOVE them and were so impressed. You can genuinely feel the love jumping off the screen, as well as the overall New York energy. If we hadn't hired a photographer for our (CA) wedding by our session, we would have hands-down hired Shelby for that as well. That being said, we look forward to taking pictures with her again! Without a doubt - hire her! You won't regret it.

Kelsey Sheehan Photography was founded in 2019. I made the jump into being a professional photographer to follow my heart and work in a career path that I love! When I am not working you can find me baking with country or 90s/00s R&B blasting, sitting by the fire with my neighbors, doing yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, or hiking with my family. Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

My husband and I can't recommend Kaitlyn enough. From the booking process, our engagement shoot, through the wedding itself Kaitlyn was thoughtful, professional, and attentive to our preferences and requests. She even drove 3 hours to do our engagement shoot in Wisconsin and was able to film our ceremony on her own! Her sneak peek the next day made us so so happy, and she got every photo on our list, including some out of order or spontaneous based on how the day went.

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, & now Mississippi!! What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I also just got married on August 31st, so I know how it feels to be both a service provider and a customer! My style of photography is more candid with a documentary style approach, but I do love a good editorial moment!

Angelina is such a great photographer, fun, and down-to-earth. I had the pleasure of having her do my daughter Quinceanera's pre-photo shoot, and although we had an inconvenience with our original plan & had to switch locations last minute she went with the flow and made it work. The pictures turned out amazing and I can not wait for our second session. I would recommend Angelina to anyone & will be using her in the future.

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

Faith is one of the most intentional people I’ve met — she was there every step of the way during wedding planning to support us and provided so much comfort and overall good vibes on the day of! I felt so at ease the entire wedding day, and I credit that to our incredible vendor team, Faith and her team included. I received so many sneak peek pics just under a week after my wedding (a few I got almost immediately!!), and it was amazing to be able to relive those moments already and share them with friends and family. Seeing how she captured these moments, big and small, makes me SO excited to see the final gallery!!! Her editing style is simply gorgeous — it was the main reason I reached out to her initially — but she’s also just a wonderful friend and human. When you already feel like you know someone, it makes it so much easier to be your authentic selves in front of the camera, and for that to shine through in photos. We both have so much love for Faith and are forever grateful she was there to document the beginning of the newest chapter of our love story

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Words cannot express my appreciation for Alisa Sue photography. I wanted the best of the best for photography for my wedding and I came across Alisa Sue and stalked her Instagram for quite some time before finally booking - they were absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with, so easy to get along with, so pleasant, so fun and the photos - ugh - to die for. Timeless and beautiful. My now husband and I are so awkward in photos and Alisa Sue made us feel so natural and comfortable. I truly hate pictures and getting my picture taken and she was by my side every step of the way cheering me on. There is no one else you should book with, besides Alisa Sue! She is now my go-to photographer for everything in life - I can’t thank her enough for making our special day that much more special!

Hii! I am Wendy! I love storytelling and my heart loves endlessly. No two stories are alike and we all have something to learn from each other. I have been on this journey as a wedding photographer for over a decade. I have been taken to so many places that I would have never been to if it weren't for my wonderful clients. I have shared the most beautiful, important and heartfelt moments with my couples, their friends and their families.

Just finished another amazing session with Wendy... From our family photos over the last decade to our son’s first birthday photos…and most recently our elopement early July, Wendy captures the most perfect moments and emotion. The candid in-betweens she captures always end up being my fave, and I am so thankful I can always trust her to capture our most cherished moments! Will continue to turn to Wendy for years to come!

I reached out to Stef a couple of days before my last-minute City Hall ceremony scheduled for 9:30am on a Friday. That’s too early and too last-minute for many wedding photographers, but Stef was such a great sport. She took a few posed photos of the group then followed us on a walk up the Bowery and through Chinatown to get to our brunch spot, snapping fantastic documentary-style photos all along the way. We wanted to remember the moment for what it was, without staging shots. The photos were exactly what we hoped for.

Hey there, I'm Elena! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Bristol, VA/TN serving clients across Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

We had the best experience shooting our engagement session with Elena. She made sure that we were comfortable and gave us confidence through teaching us how to pose. Her photos from the session captured the best light and were beautiful. Elena was a joy to work with and was very communicative throughout the process from giving tips, to being receptive to our ideas, and going the extra mile to find the perfect location.

Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime. So if you’re shy like me, this is for you!

Cassie & Travis were an absolute dream to work with as our wedding photographers. We’re not incredibly photogenic people, but they made us feel so comfortable and the photos speak for themselves — AMAZING! Out of all of the photographers I spoke with, I chose to go with Cassie because she just seemed to “get” me and the style I was going after. I wanted insane flash photography party pics at the reception but also crisp golden hour ceremony photos and a list of detail shots, and they delivered on all ends! I HIGHLY recommend her for any of your photography needs -- wedding or otherwise!

I consider my style to be on the photojournalistic side, documenting moments as they naturally happen but also helping to set the scene for the moments that matter most. But I'm not just here to click a camera; I'm your visual storyteller, weaving the narrative of your love into each frame.

Hiring Aireal was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very first consultation, she made my wife and I feel so confident and excited about our big day. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it really showed in the photos—each one perfectly captured the essence of our relationship. On the wedding day, Aireal was such a calming presence. She was organized, professional, and had a way of making everyone feel at ease, even in the midst of all the chaos. She caught every detail and emotion without us ever feeling like we were constantly posing for pictures. Our photos are beyond beautiful. She captured so many moments we’ll treasure forever, and the quality is exceptional. We even ordered prints through her gallery and they came out flawless. It’s obvious that Aireal is passionate about her work, and she truly goes above and beyond for her clients. If you’re searching for an LGBTQIA friendly wedding photographer who will capture your day with authenticity, creativity, and a personal touch, look no further. Aireal is amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with our wedding photography experience!

Hi, my name is Juan, AKA Jay, I am a Western Massachusetts based photographer. I first began my interest in photography in grade school. While my teacher would conduct the class I would be interested in the images so I could make more of a connection. I was also dubbed the "family photographer" whenever there was a family function. I am more of a non-traditional photographer, meaning, I enjoy control candid photos vs traditional posing photos.

Juan is seriously so talented at what he does he made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable! I can’t wait for him to photograph our wedding! Absolutely beautiful photos!

We easily chose Shack Photo and Film for our wedding day. Their communication style was open, continuous, kind, and mindful throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was superior, first-rate, excellent, and of the highest quality - truly exemplary. They captured our wedding day beautifully on both video and photography, and made my husband, who is not a fan of photos, feel so comfortable. Their documentary style allowed us to revisit the genuine, authentic moments that we will forever hold dearly. We are so grateful to Shack Photo and Film for helping to make our special day perfect.
