I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace went above and beyond when working on our elopement. Her rates were very affordable, and she even looked around our venue location to make sure we got photos we missed when looking ourselves.

There are not enough words to express how incredible Lindsay and Nathan are. Recommended to us by a friend, Lindsay and Nathan were the perfect fit for us as wedding photographers. From our very first call to our wedding day, Lindsay and Nathan couldn’t have been more professional. They are willing to do anything to make your vision come to life. From traveling, to building an effective timeline, clear and frequent communication, and incredible planning, they made our wedding day a dream. Going into this experience, my husband and I were nervous about being in front of the camera. Lindsay and Nathan helped to make us feel comfortable and confident. As a result, we have photos of our engagement and wedding that truly capture who we are. Lindsay and Nathan’s work is truly unmatched. We received our entire engagement album within a week, photos to share from our wedding the very next day, a sneak peek of our wedding album within 72 hours, and our full wedding album within a week of our wedding. The day of our wedding, it felt like I was working with a close friend. Lindsay was encouraging and calming during any stressful moments that arose and truly helped to make the day run smoothly. I am genuinely grateful for both Lindsay and Nathan’s time, creative energy, and work. They are passionate about what they do and it shows. I could not recommend Lindsay Eileen Photography enough. They are an absolute dream to work with!

Hey! I'm Jess, the owner of the company that's named after me - shocking, right? I'm from the suburbs of Philly but now live up in the mountains of Northeast PA in Montrose, right on the border of Central NY. I'm married to a woodworker (who HAD to be the inspiration behind Ron Swanson because they're the same human), we live on 25 acres with three huge dogs (2 Golden Retrievers and one Great Pyrenees) and three ducks - and I'm constantly begging for more animals. I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

I believe you should be present on your wedding day, not rushing through a timeline just to check boxes. That's why our goal is to provide our couples with a photography experience that allows you to be fully present so that you can truly have the time of your life celebrating with your people, laugh your way through pictures, and dance the night away with your best friends. In the end, your wedding images should be a direct reflection of the memories you made, not moments that were forced.

Meghan Elizabeth Photography was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day! Meghan's was super helpful with everything throughout the planning process. She made sure we were all on the same page regarding the timeline and locations. On the big day, Meghan brought a fantastic energy and kept everything running smoothly so my husband and I could truly be present. Her photography style resulted in gorgeous, natural, effortless photos that we will treasure forever. Meghan created a seamless timeline and helped our day flow from one special moment to the next. She guided us gently while allowing us to stay grounded in each special moment. The value of working with Meghan was fantastic - she brought out the best in us and captured it beautifully on film!

I’ve spent years refining an approach that allows me to sincerely honor the moment — knowing when to step in and adjust a subject or environment, and sensing when to stand back and allow a moment to just be. With me, your photographs will be an intentional representation of this time of your life — imagery that will make you feel like it was just yesterday, and yet, feel forever untouched by time. Truly, the honor is all mine. Thank you for considering me to document this luxuriously intimate wedding event.

April and Mike are a wonderful team. They arrived early, and I was impressed with their preparedness and attention to detail. They talked about our couple as if they were lifelong friends, which tells me that they make a true effort to get to know each couple past surface level. They delivered the wedding gallery in less than two months, and the photos are incredible!!

We are Matt + Mo a husband & wife photography + video team started in 2009:) To us the whole idea of a wedding is to celebrate your connection with another person. We love collaborating with our clients to come up with amazing images. Our goals are to: 1) create killer photos for you, 2) let YOU relax and have a ball at your wedding, and 3) laugh at your jokes (so long as you laugh at ours:)

Awarded Best of Zola
Matt and Mo were so lovely to speak with from our first meeting all the way to the wedding day. When we were initially looking for photographers we were looking for ones with an artsy flare that could handle difficult light scenarios as we were getting married at the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ. They were just as stoked as we were and were excited for the challenge of reflective glass and constantly shifting lighting as well as low lighting areas. They have an easy day of planner form that you fill out closer to the day and they also go over the day of schedule with you prior to make sure that everything goes well, which as a schedule-minded girl, I loved. The day of, they were amazing. They're easy to work with and it was like hanging out with friends who just so happened to be taking pictures of you and walking you through photo shoots. For anyone who is nervous about taking photos, they will put you at ease so quickly and you'll be feeling like a pro. We had so much fun! I can't recommend them enough and if I ever have any big events down the road, I'll definitely be using them again. They're the absolute best and their photos are incredible!

Someday, years from now, someone close to you will ask about your wedding day - someone that may not have been able to be there, or a new friend or family member who you have welcomed into your life. As you sit on your couch and reminisce while sipping on a cup of coffee, rather than just telling them about your wedding day - I want you to be able to show them. Photographs have an amazing ability to freeze special moments in time. I want to do that for you.

Julia was a complete joy to work with for our engagement photos and then wedding! From the day we met I knew my (then) fiancé and I would be able to relax and be comfortable in front of her camera. She was so much fun to work with and had us in beautiful but still comfortable poses/positions. Her and her husband shot our wedding and they were so patient throughout hectic family photos. We can't recommend Julia enough!!

Our mission is to capture your day with an authentic blend of documentary and editorial styles, highlighting the raw emotions and timeless moments that make your story uniquely yours.

There are many things that can go wrong in your wedding, but I can wholeheartedly say that choosing Elizabeth Kane Photography was one thing that was absolutely the BEST CHOICE we made for our Disney wedding! From beginning to end, Elizabeth was not only working as our photographer but was also making sure we developed a friendship to further build trust that we were in amazing hands. She traveled all the way from California to Orlando for our wedding and even went above and beyond her "behind the lens" duty to help with other areas of our wedding day! Honestly, long story short, words cannot describe how grateful we were (still are) that we chose Elizabeth for our wedding day. It was seriously the best day ever and she captured everything so perfectly; now, we'll have it all beautifully captured forever.

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

When we’re not behind the camera you can find us in our kitchen whipping up something delicious, doing renovations on our 93 year old home, or planning our next trip. No matter where we are, I can promise that you’ll find a cup of coffee in our hands and our music, (typically a weird mix between Eminem, John Mayer + Journey), turned all the way up.

There are no words to describe how incredible Jeannie and Jesse are. First, they are the nicest and kindest people. I have truly loved all pictures captured by Jeannie and Jesse. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, they were incredibly helpful and responsive. Not to mention, Jeannie is a superwoman and sent us sneak peeks from our wedding day before we went to sleep the day of our wedding AND had a mini gallery a week after the wedding AND sent us the full gallery 3 weeks after the wedding. They are truly in love with what they do and it’s evident in their incredible work. We are so thankful we booked them and had them capture our most special day.

With a romantic, film-inspired approach, I capture your moments with love in mind; the love you have for each other and the love I have for you. I provide a luxurious and timeless wedding collection of images and products to cherish for generations to come. My goal is to provide an stress-free photography experience, so you can focus on the other details of the day.

From start to finish - Annie was the best to work with. As soon as we got engaged, I knew I wanted her as our photographer after seeing all of her beautiful work. We began by talking about the package we would be looking for, including engagement photos, travel plans/costs, etc. After speaking with Annie, we decided to add on a second shooter (who was fantastic), and it was worth it! Our engagement session was so much fun to do & both of us felt comfortable the entire time (let's be honest, staring at each other for an hour can be WEIRD). Annie even got great shots of our dogs in our engagement photos, even though they were NOT the most cooperative. Before our wedding day, we talked over details and gave a list of whom we wanted pictures taken with, so I felt at ease that the day would go smooth (and it did!). I truly appreciated her flexibility as we decided to add on an extra hour for her and our second shooter a few months before the wedding. Our photos arrived within the time frame listed in the contract, and they were BEAUTIFUL! (we also got a great sneak peek the day after the wedding). She will most definitely be our photographer in the future for all of our important moments!

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.

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and much of that was thanks to our incredible photographer, Silvia. From our first meeting, her calm demeanor and positive outlook put us at ease. Silvia has a unique ability to blend into the background, capturing candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love of the day. Her calm presence was a soothing force during the hustle and bustle, making us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. Every photo she took is a testament to her talent and passion for her work. Silvia didn’t just take pictures; she told our love story through her lens, and for that, we are forever grateful.

My style is best described as vintage with influences from old hollywood. I have worked every type of wedding and I love to travel!

Awarded Best of Zola
We feel so lucky to have found Andrew as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye for the editorial style and makes his photos into works of art with golden light and chiaroscuro. So many photographers just rely on their high-res equipment but don't offer anything more--I don't want a macro shot of every pore or line on my face like an owl in a tree at 100 yards, I want to have a sense of magic and beauty in every photo. Andrew actually does that. I almost cried when I saw our first look photos because I don't feel very confident being photographed and I finally had dozens of photos of myself and my husband that I want to share with friends immediately and cherish forever. He delivered the first look so fast, even though I know he was busy working another wedding; I thought for sure we would have to wait longer. The wedding package we chose included very nice touches like polaroids so we had something in hand at the end of the wedding day itself, too. It was very thoughtful and left us feeling good about the whole experience right away. He was very personal and nice to work with, but not intrusive, and went with the little schedule changes we had, and was open to suggestions while we took post-ceremony photos around the city. I couldn't be happier with our experience with him and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a real artist for their wedding photography.

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

I want to capture your essence. People are often nervous when you begin to photograph them, but I have no expectations for you- aside for you to simply be your authentic self! I want to capture your silly, your tender, your sweet, your love. I’ll guide you and your loved one to interact in natural, timeless ways to create art that will have the honor of living in your home and being a part of your family for generations to come. I don't create for the now- I create for the forever.

We hired Anne has our part of our wedding day vendor dream team, and I am so, so thankful that we did. It was one of the best decisions we made. Anne is an incredible photographer. Her work is dreamy & ethereal, yet perfectly captures the essence of her subjects. Her work is also versatile - her candids and styled shots are both fabulous. Anne worked with us on engagement photos, so we had the chance to get a sense of her style and personality, and it was love at first photo. She is so warm and effervescent that we immediately felt at ease. Both my husband and I aren't super comfortable in front of the camera, but Anne's encouragement made the photoshoot fun. She even brought treats for our pup, which endeared him immediately. The engagement photos were incredibly and perfectly captured our romantic garden party vibe and our connection as a couple. Leading up to our wedding, Anne worked closely with our planner to make sure that our timeline, photo locations, and shot list were in perfect order. She worked tirelessly to create a rain plan that eased my panic when we couldn't take photos inside the hotel. On day of, Anne & her assistant arrived promptly at our bridal suite and quickly got to work doing flat lays, detail shots, etc. before moving seamlessly into first look and group shots. Her sense of humor kept our group laughing and made sure the groom didn't get tired of photos. She even helped carry my shoes and got my husband water when he lost his voice. It was like having a close friend at our wedding to cheer us on. Of course, the photos were incredible! Our preview was full of gems, I can't choose my favorite one. I can't imagine having to pick for the full album! She captured our love for each other and made sure we had a good time the whole day. tl;dr Hire Anne because she is very talented photographer and her team is fabulous, and also hire Anne because she is an amazing person. She will make your wedding day even dreamier.
