Timeless Photo Video provided excellent service for our wedding day photography and videography. Jamie and Matt were prompt, attentive, and captured all the special moments with an intimate, detailed style that we loved.

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.

From the moment we met Ashley Cynthia Photography, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. Their communication style was fun and enjoyable, with constant banter that put us at ease. Ashley and her crew were fantastic, always making sure we were on top of the timeline and getting the exact photos we wanted.

From Day 1, Ashley passed our vibe check instantly and was always just a text, email or call away, giddy about our nifty and crazy ideas. Her team was incredibly flexible, and we had an absolute blast working with them.

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017.

Hello, I'm Margaret. It's so nice to have you. I love to see love & take pictures. Perfect match to be an engagement and wedding photographer. I'm a lover of fine art and candid moments. My editing style is filled with true color photography to bring your photos to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Margaret was better than I could’ve asked! Leading up to the day she was so easy to communicate with. She created a timeline for the day and any thoughts I had she took them into account and found a way to incorporate them into the plan. Truely felt like a team because of how kind and thoughtful she is. Get to the day, she was a calming presence for sure. She showed up with a smile on her face and seamlessly cued the bridesmaids and myself throughout. She was present but didn’t hover it was the perfect balance. Along with that she was my hype girl throughout it 3 Now let’s talk about the pictures, I’m not used to getting my picture taken and feel so uncomfortable being the center of attention but she tells you every detail you need, and if something doesn’t look right she’ll correct it gracefully in the moment. I felt like I got to enjoy my day without it feeling like a photoshoot. She delivered the pictures so fast!! A couple of my bridesmaids made comments about how fast the turnaround time was…and they were breathtaking!! Better than I ever could have imagined, I can’t stop looking at them. Not a moment was missed and due to her talent we have the most perfect picture to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book with her, worth every penny.

Because I really don't like our original wedding photos, we decided for our 25th wedding anniversary to have new photos taken and couldn't be happier. We chose VC Photography because we had seen her work from other events and were blown away by how great she was. Not only did Victoria do multiple locations for our outdoor shoot, she spent what had to be hours removing graffiti from one of the locations with in the images to make them perfect. Every photo was so good that we had a difficult time choosing our favorites for prints. I will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her whenever possible.

I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Dani helped us with choosing our elopement location in Colorado! She listened to our must-haves for our location and provided us a list of options with info on permits and everything. She made the elopement process so easy! We picked our location off her advice :) We also had snow hit the day of our elopement and since it was just my husband & I plus the photographers, (Dani & Jed), she let us adjust our elopement time to get the best experience in the elements. They also followed my husband & I to our restaurant where we had dinner and took some amazing candid photos our first dinner as husband and wife. Such an incredible team and incredible experience. Hiring them was the best decision we made when we decided to elope!!

We are boutique photographers that are for the clients and couples that value photography but also value being present in their day. Your wedding is not a day of photos, we come to take photos of your day. Every package is custom to each client as your experience with us is exclusive to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.

I will be happy to capture a special moment on your special day. With pleasure and enthusiasm, I am always ready for new adventures & challenges.

Julia is truly the BEST photographer out there and she makes everyone look SO GOOD!! We booked her for both our engagement session and our wedding because we loved her so much! She is so skillful at finding beautiful angles and working with natural lighting, and she was great at directing us with suggested poses that didn’t look forced or unnatural. She was also really easy to work with: we met up beforehand to communicate our vision and discuss the kinds of photographs that we wanted for the engagement session and we did that again for our wedding. On our wedding day Julia brought her husband Leo who is also a photographer to assist her and they came early in the morning to begin taking scenery photos, details, and other things while the rest of us got ready. She was there with us throughout the entire day all the way til the end of the evening and she went out with us to take some sunset photos in the middle of the reception, which turned out so beautifully! Finally, Julia was super prompt at sending us the final photographs, which I know she worked hard on because there were A LOT! We can tell that Julia truly enjoys what she does and really wants to get the best photos possible so she always goes above and beyond. I think the phenomenal photos that we’re sharing here can speak for themselves. She was such a joy to work with and we can’t wait to find some other excuse to hire her again!!

Lover of all things photography. I have been a photographer for over 10 years and love what we do. I have an amazing team that helps me out. My husband also second shoots with me. I like to say you get two professionals for the price of one. I try to offer quality at a reasonable cost. I know photography can be daunting for some people and my goal is always to put people at ease.

Best decision we could have made. Communication was wonderful from the start and the photos are amazing. I felt Hdi has a gift of photography and what will look great. From the little details they were on it. She made me feel like family. Mostly, her images are what we have left of our day and I’m so glad we went with Timeless Imagery. Don’t cut your hours short - so you don’t feel rushed. Best advice I could give.

Ashley is an intensely driven, detail-oriented fan of excellent food and exhilarating romance & happens to be a passionate editorial wedding photographer. Her approach is simple–take the time to get to know each & every couple to create breathtaking, personal images. She brings together a diverse background in both the visual & performing arts to craft your wedding story through fine art imagery that you will pass on for generations to come. In her free time, she is probably snuggling with her two amazing dogs, commuting back & forth between her home in Maryland and our Malvern studio, or whipping up something extravagant in the kitchen.

We received our photos from our July wedding and WOW is all I can say! Ashley and Michelle managed to capture our day perfectly. We chose bright colors for our summer wedding and didn't want them to look muted from editing. Ashley ensured us she captures "real life" and boy, did she deliver!! The colors pop and look stunning. We were so comfortable with Ashley & Michelle all day, and they really listened to what we wanted. They helped create a timeline for the day along with must take photos and kept everything moving & organized. There were multiple check-ins throughout the planning process, complete with thorough questionnaires that helped answer a lot of questions. We also used Ashley for our engagement photos, which helped us develop a relationship early on and we love those photos just as much as our wedding photos!!

But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story.

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

I have always avoided pictures of any kind due to a plethora of insecurities, so when I got engaged that was truthfully my biggest worry, which seems so silly. When my fiancé and I did our first round of pictures with Dawcin we were awkward & I was convinced I would hate them. But she convinced me that we were the cutest couple she’d ever seen. She pulled me right out my funk and helped us, help her, create adorable pictures. I can’t wait to see how our wedding day photos come out. I’d recommend her to anyone any day!

Ally here! I believe you shouldn't invest in something unless you feel it's right for you! That being said, the biggest choice in life you can ever make is the choice to invest in your memories. That's what I am here for! To capture all the milestones, and life changing moments that you will forever cherish. (Bonus points being that you get to make a forever friend who you know and trust to be able to capture and pass down your family's legacy in photo form for as long as I live!).

Greetings! I'm Nandy, a wedding photographer specializing in crafting Clean, Classic, and Timeless images for couples deeply immersed in their love story. Raised in a charming southern Indian town, my journey brought me to the United States in 2014, accompanied by my loving husband Vijay and our two precious boys. Fueled by limitless dreams, I discovered my true calling at the age of 30. I eagerly await the opportunity to learn about your extraordinary day and have the privilege of serving you wholeheartedly. Here, I offer more than just photography; I provide a truly exceptional and one-of-a-kind experience that you genuinely deserve.

Wow- where do I start! Nandy was absolutely incredible to work with. From the initial phone call up to our wedding day. We met with her for our engagement session and she’s such a sweet human with an incredible talent. I cannot recommend or thank her enough for everything she’s done to contribute to our special day. Week of our wedding, I realized I made a HUGE mistake and booked her for the wrong date. Immediately after realizing, Nandy called me to reassure us she will make it work despite the inconvenience we caused. Look no further she’s your girl! Thank you so much again Nandy

Hi!!! My name is Joel and I’m a wedding and portrait photographer in Central Pennsylvania. Although I’m based out of Harrisburg, I love to travel to Pittsburgh, Philly, Baltimore, DC, New York and beyond! I’m married to my amazing wife Kristin who typically works along side me at weddings and is almost as goofy as I am (almost). We have a border collie named Oreo who has more energy than the two of us combined! I’m a Netflix junkie (which is perfect to watch while I spend countless hours editing photos) and I quote movies and TV shows all the time. Try to stump me with a movie quote, it can’t be done ;)

When I was looking for a photographer for our wedding, I didn’t just want anyone off the street. I had looked at several people’s work and talked to many photographers, but there was always something missing from their work that I had been searching for. When visiting a wedding expo, I came to his booth and knew immediately that this was the photographer I wanted to shoot my wedding! He doesn’t just take a photograph; he captures a moment in time! His photos evoke emotion more than just happiness. I could feel the joy and warmth of his subjects come to life. His use of color and composition set the stage for the perfect image to hang on your wall. Right off the bat, Joel was funny, extremely personable & amazing to work with! He made it fun to be photographed (especially if you don’t do well in front of the camera but love the end result). Joel really made the whole process very easy and enjoyable by explaining everything and answering all of our nitty gritty questions. And believe me, we had A LOT of questions! With every request, he did not disappoint! He mastered the skill of capturing our love and our personalities in every photo he took! Through his creativity that shows in our engagement & wedding photo album… I can’t help but smile, laugh and get a little teary eyed. It was such a great experience. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, I would highly recommend Joel Thomas!! I will definitely be using him again in the future for our family photos!!!

Your wedding story–told with an eye for detail! I’ve honed my artistic vision through years of study and experience photographing hundreds of joyful weddings over the past 12 years. I never want to be a complete stranger showing up on the happiest, most intimate day of your life and pointing a camera in your face. My goal is to create a relationship with you, so you feel comfortable to be yourselves in front of me – it shows in the photos!

We LOVED having Sarah as our photographer. From the initial meeting, to her well informed and timely emails/reminders leading up to the day, to the actual day itself and the photos delivered, we are very happy with our choice! Her photos exceeded our expectations and working with her on the day was so wonderful & easy!

Hi there! I’m a young and vibrant wedding photographer with four years of experience capturing love stories in all their glory. Alongside my passion for photography, I’m also a full-time videographer, which means I can bring your special moments to life in both stills and motion! I’ve been behind the camera since high school, and it’s incredible to see how my hobby has blossomed into a fulfilling career. I thrive on the energy of weddings, and I’m dedicated to making your day unforgettable by blending creativity with a fun, relaxed vibe. Let’s create some magic together!

What can I say! My experience with Maya was absolutely phenomenal. She listened to all my ideas and gave me feedback based on her professional opinion. She was very flexible and ensured that both my fiancé and I were comfortable throughout our entire engagement photo shoot. Maya came with ideas for positions and poses but she also allowed us to express ourselves creatively. The day after our photo shoot she sent us a link with a sneak peek of our pictures and I was completely blown out of the water. The day I chose to take our photos it was extremely hot and sunny outside and I was sweating profusely. Even with this, she was able to produce amazing photos that captured us in our best light. You would not even know how hot and humid it was based on our pictures. I would absolutely work with Maya again and I would recommend her to anyone looking for high quality photos and a photographer with an amazing personality!
