Laura Patrick Photography

I've been a wedding photographer for over 10 years and I just love LOVE! I have a calming presence on wedding days and I prioritize my couples wants and needs. Each couple is unique and I want each of my couples to feel heard, and for their stories to be captured in a beautiful and authentic way.

We met Laura when we won a photoshoot that turned into a surprise engagement. From that moment on Laura has photographed every milestone in our family. From our wedding, family photoshoots, to the birth of our son. Laura has been there through it all. I don’t consider her our photographer, I consider her a friend. She is part of our family now and the work she does to create the memories I cherish and have hung around our home is something I will forever be grateful for. When you choose Laura, you choose a friend for life.

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Met Nicole while working at a wedding in February 2024. She was very kind to our staff and not in the way at all. She allowed everyone to enjoy the party without blocking views or being rude. Yet managed to do her job with a smile the whole time! She is very pleasant!

Working with Koncept Visuals for my wedding was such a wonderful experience! Dwayne did our engagement photos & we both felt so comfortable with him that we wanted to utilize his talent for the big day too. The day of our wedding, the time line was altered (makeup took longer than planned), so Dwayne compromised. He was nothing but: polite, calm, understanding & professional. My groom doesn’t like to be the center of attention, Dwayne did a terrific job of getting the photos taken that we requested without my love feeling the pressure or spotlight. Dwayne’s work speaks for itself… I love the diversity of his photography. He is creative, artistic & well educated on lighting amongst other important components of being a fantastic photographer. Koncept Visuals also provided the photo booth kiosk we had at our wedding, which was a big hit! My husband & I are so thankful we went with Koncept Visuals & we couldn’t be happier with the only piece of our wedding we get to keep, the picture memories 3

We’ve all been in front of someone’s iPhone for a photo. You might not think anything of it until you see it later & you don’t look anything like yourself. My mom loves to snap family photos, so I’ve been there. It's terrible for confidence & it's stressful when someone at the party says “let’s take a photo!” I get it. That’s why I do this–for you to see photos of yourself that actually looks right & you see your own lit up smile, you see yourself in that moment and simply how happy you were. I photograph weddings for that freedom & relief that your creativity & mine are working together to craft authentic, artful photographs for you.

Jenn is absolutely incredible! Her work is gorgeous and captures every emotion that you feel during the session; love literally shines through each image! As a photographer myself, I am extremely picky about who I choose to photograph my own events. Jenn is one of the few people I would trust with this job; I have photographed many events with her before so I knew the professionalism and quality of her services when selecting her. After asking Jenn to take our engagement photos, we chose a location that was very special to our relationship. She took care finding the most beautiful areas and lighting. My fiancé is not super comfortable in front of the camera but Jenn quickly put him at ease and was able to suggest poses that felt very natural. Jenn also recently photographed my Bridal Shower. She captured both posed and candid photos that tell the full story of the day- I will cherish them forever! While wedding planning is fun and magical, it can also be an incredibly stressful time with lots of decisions to make. Working with Jenn will ensure that photography is one less thing that you need to stress about! Not only will you get beautiful images, but they will be taken a genuinely beautiful, personable, and caring person who will be a joy to have with you on your special day!

We are Ryan + Jillian, a husband and wife photography team. We fell into wedding photography after our own wedding when Ryan's best man/cousin Sean passed away. Receiving our wedding photos while helping plan the funeral was the greatest gift we could have ever gotten. At that moment, fully understanding just how fleeting life truly is, that started our love affair with wedding photography. We love how wedding photography does not have to be corny or grossly over staged. It can be candid, genuine, and provide amazing couples with images that they will cherish for a lifetime.

I cannot explain how amazing this husband and wife team are! Jillian and Ryan were an absolute dream to work with. Hands down our favorite vendors!! So easy to work with and their photography skills are out of this world. We will cherish our pictures forever. And they couldn't be more down to earth. They're fun, warm, passionate, responsive, talented, creative... I could go on and on! They captured us as a couple perfectly. We have received so many compliments on how beautiful our photos turned out and how awesome our photographers were! We are so thrilled that we picked Jillian + Ryan for our photographers. I could not recommend them enough!

I’m a photographer, mom, wife, snowboarder, roller coaster enthusiast, former math teacher, and former mechanical engineer. I love the process of learning, which led to me earning my Ph.D. (but you don’t have to call me Dr.)! I have an extremely short attention span, am addicted to wearing beanies and headbands, and am fueled by chai tea. I'm socially awkward and I make weird faces when I concentrate to take photos. I dress for comfort and for rolling around on the ground, standing in creeks, and climbing into trees to capture the best angles for my photographs — but I do clean up reasonably well on wedding days!

I’m LINDSAY, the owner & main photographer of Lindsay Mack Photography. I am based out of Warrenton, Virginia. And I am bit of a sucker for real, authentic, passionate love. When I shoot your wedding, I want you to remember each moment, vividly. I want you to relive that first moment when your Dad saw you in your dress. I want you to feel the moment when the love of your life laid his eyes on you as you were approaching the aisle. The moment when the groomsman does a split on the dance floor? Yes, that too. ALL OF IT. I am here to serve you, to work along side you and to capture those once in a life time feels.

Lindsay is a true pro! She helped organize an 8 hour styled shoot for my new farm wedding venue and knocked it out of the park. She has a wonderful way of making everyone feel super comfortable, she seamlessly managed two different sets of brides/grooms, additional models, flower girls, hair/makeup scenes, ceremonies and receptions while capturing every aspect of my 40 acre farm in the process. I can't recommend her enough and she will be at the top of my preferred vendors list as one of the best photographers in the region!

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:)

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!

Wedding and lifestyle photographer committed to helping you. Your wedding day isn't just about another photo session. When I book a wedding, I want to help you capture all the moments that this part of your life includes. The emotions, the smiles, the first dance, the cake cutting. All of it. When booking me you're not only booking a wedding photographer, but you're also booking your day of advocate for your love story. Of course, you will have all your formal portraits, but i also love to capture the small moments some people miss. I so look forward to speaking and hopefully working together to make your dream day a reality!

Veronica is INCREDIBLE! From the moment we met her at our engagement session, we knew we made the right decision! She came prepared with pose ideas and made us feel comfortable, even though it was our first time getting professional photos done. She gave us a timeline for when we’d receive photos back, and sent us a few sneak peaks the same night! She communicated with us between the engagement session and our wedding, helped put together a timeline for the wedding day, and made sure to capture everything I had envisioned! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Veronica for any photoshoot, and plan to hire her again in the future for photos!

From NY to TX, then back again... I started my photography adventure 10 years ago in a small studio in upstate, New York. Since then, I've traveled across the country, taking pictures the entire time. I've captured a lifetime of memories in pictures, and now, I hope I can do the same for you! I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come. When I'm not taking pictures, I am working as a nurse and dreaming of the days when I can put my toes in the sand with my nieces in Cape Cod.

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

We are so thrilled that we managed to book Jess for our engagement photos and wedding! Beautiful photography was a priority for us, and we wanted our photos to have a genuine, documentary style feel. We wanted the photos to capture the real beauty of the day, without being too heavily edited (we hate the photographers who made everything look pastel!). Jessica was completely in line with our style. My husband and I aren’t naturals in front of the camera, but Jessica made us feel so at ease. We were never uncomfortable with Jessica, and she felt like a natural part of the day. Jessica’s photos speak for themselves. She is able to create stunning visuals, but most impressively, Jess captures emotion in all of her photographs. At our wedding, Jessica and her assistant Kat were always present, but never intrusive. I feel like she is a photography ninja—I don’t even remember seeing her at certain moments, and yet there are beautiful photos of everything. No detail or moment was missed. From the day we worked with Jess on our engagement photos, we knew we were in more than capable hands. I am so impressed with Jessica’s ability to find unique spaces and framing for our photos—some of my favorite photos are in front of everyday places, but with Jessica’s eye they are turned into beautiful works of art. Because she did such a fantastic job with our engagement photos, we had no worries at all on our wedding day. One of Jess’ strengths is her background working as a photographer on music tours. Put her in any type of lighting or setting, and she has the technical skills and experience to create something amazing. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Jess’ professionalism—she is always early and is kind to everyone she interacts with. She is so passionate and excited about her work. Her calm, unflappable attitude made her a pleasure to be around on our wedding day. Her enthusiasm for her work is evident. She's also incredibly hardworking at every stage of the process. Jessica was able to edit our photos and got them back to us within 6 days of our wedding—that is unheard of! We love Jess and are so impressed by her! She is beyond talented and her stunning work will let us relive our wedding day whenever we want. All of our photos were fantastic—it’s hard to narrow down even our top 100 photos. We can’t thank Jess enough for capturing the joy we felt on our wedding day. I’m truly sad that our time working together is over. Jess was easily one of our favorite vendors, and we wish her all the best as she continues to grow her business! We would enthusiastically recommend that you hire Jessica for all your photography needs. Update-- My husband and I were lucky to hire Jessica again about a year after our wedding to shoot some photos of us and our new puppy. As expected, the photos came out beautifully and were delivered to us quickly!

We are all here for you. All your family, your friends and I (yes, me too!) are here to honor you on your wedding day! As excited as I am to get to the dancefloor with you guys, I know a lot of planning goes into making your day special. As your photographer, I’ve been to a few weddings and am just a call or text away from any insight you might want. I approach every wedding with the same mentality, how can I tell the story of today in the most real way possible? I’ve found the best way to do that is to just be me. I allow myself to be present and listen to the stories unfold throughout the day.

We were so pleased with using Gabe for our wedding photography. His work speaks for itself - beautiful compositions and use of light, and the ability to capture quick moments and candid shots. I felt super comfortable with Gabe which was very important to me because I'm camera-shy and awkward. He was very down to earth and easy to work with. Also, though he is based in PA he traveled to NY for our wedding and did an amazing job. We even travelled to PA for an engagement session, which I initially had no plans on doing - but those photos came out great as well and we had a lot of fun doing those to get warmed up. Strongly recommend Gabe, he's the best!

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.

Megan Butt Photography is a wedding photography service based out of Lebanon, PA. Owner and lead photographer Megan finds joy in capturing authentic heirloom photographs that last a lifetime. She works hard to capture the authenticity of each couple that she has the privilege of working with. Megan Butt Photography boasts a laid-back and earthy approach that enables her to capture the essence of her couples and the love that they share for one another. She strives to preserve the raw emotion and intimate moments that unfold at wedding events.

Megan is genuinely SUCH a treat to work with. Our wedding was the end of October, 2022, and my family still reaches out to her for photography needs. Her communication is so explicitly clear at all times, before the wedding, with know what exactly we needed to do and by when, during the wedding with giving such clear directions for us (we are NOT known to know how to pose!), and after, with knowing basically the exact second she was done editing. And the QUALITY! Our photos are absolutely TIMELESS looking. I still pull out our book (one of the services she offers is a book she puts together for you to order) to show off all the time. As for professionalism, Megan is extremely professional and still so much fun- she's so kind and has such a unique personality, and fit in with my entire bridal party, as well as my husband and me. Overall, you would never go wrong with choosing Megan. The photos were really where we decided to "splurge," and with Megan having different packages to offer, we absolutely believe she was worth every penny and more. I know I included a bit of a photodump, but I hope it helps show even a fraction of her range.

So this is funny, when I was little, I was obsessed with the movie "The Wedding Planner." So much obsessed, I wanted to be a wedding planner someday. Jump into the future 20 years and my obsession with weddings has brought me to here! I love photographing weddings! From the gowns, the florals, the venue to the couple and the journey they are stepping into together! Weddings are a special day for not only the couple, but two families to come together to celebrate love and life together as one. And your photos should represent that life you are creating. Colorful, bold and full of energy. So let's plan, have fun and photograph your dang day!

My goal is to always capture your most authentic selves and moments that you'll never want to forget. I am dedicated to my couples and spend their entire wedding process making sure they are stress-free, happier than ever, and living in the moment.

We found Elaine’s name through her recognition as a “Simply the Best” photographer and we were not disappointed! She was responsive, easy to work with, and always stayed in communication with us. She listened to our preferences where it mattered but also made recommendations when appropriate. For example, based upon our venue setup and schedule for the day she recommended an assistant photographer and it was perfect! We were able to capture so many more memories thanks to her smart suggestion. She also kept the perfect balance of being in the right places while still somehow blending in. She’s also super friendly and is great with families, including little ones. You won’t find any better!

Awarded Best of Zola
We could rave for days about our overall experience with Laura and the end product photographs and prints we received. Laura's experience and professionalism were demonstrated pre-wedding with effective communication and outlining of expectations. She provided excellent advice which ultimately made the day of go much smoother. At the wedding and reception, we were impressed by how unimposing Laura was while still being able to capture the moments most significant to us, as well as the ones we didn't even know would be the most important to us until we saw them. When the fire alarms went off unexpectedly, she took it in stride, creating the most of the moment by placing us near the fire trucks and capturing some of the best pictures of the night. We sincerely and strongly recommend Laura for wedding photography and continue to be so grateful!

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

Hi! I'm Emily! Mom to 3 kids, two rats named Frodo and Sam and a bearded dragon. I like my couples like I like my pets - just slightly unconventional. Dress fluffer, timeline-keeper, family wrangler, prone to squealing over a perfect ray of sunshine- I'll dance with your grandma, cry during your vows, and make you laugh at inappropriate moments. You're a badass and deserve the space to express yourself and your love EXACTLY as you are, no holds barred. Say goodbye to not knowing what to do with your hands, fake smiles in photos, and stiff posing that *just doesn't feel like you*. LGBTQIA+ and looking for a safe vendor? I gotchu!

Emily made my husband and I feel super comfortable and we had a lot of fun working with her. She makes the awkwardness of photo shoots charming and fun and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photos. She truly captured our essence and made our day so special!

I highly recommend them to everyoone wanting a amazing wedding.

Bliss Photos is a Pennsylvania based Wedding Photographer servicing weddings in PA, MD, DC, NYC, and beyond! Bliss Photos is an inclusive wedding photographer that creates romantic & timeless photos with a journalistic approach.

Those photos are once in a lifetime photos and that's exactly what I'm all about - capturing the real you in that special moment. That is a gift that you will cherish for a lifetime and lifetimes after that.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Melissa photograph both our engagement photos and our elopement. Melissa is so kind, flexible and professional. I can't say enough great things about her, and that's just as a person. She is truly an artist and fantastic at her craft. Our photos are so beautiful, and really capture our day in such a magical way.

I'm Aimee Nguyễn. I’m a sarcastic 28 year old who loves to travel, cook, and snuggle with her cat. I have been photographing all kinds of love since 2017. My main goal on your wedding day is to capture your love and day authentic to you while making you feel comfy and stress-free. I take a lot of my inspiration from dope cinematography and my couples. I want to create visual poetry that speaks to your heart and soul, celebrating all the joy and happiness that surrounds you on your wedding day. My albums are meant to speak to your heart, not just the highlights.

Words simply cannot describe how in AWE I am of these photos. Aside from exchanging vows getting pictures to capture our love and the love of all our closest friends and family was most important to me on our wedding day. My husband and I cannot stop looking them and cannot wait to share them with everyone we love. Not only did she artfully capture our personalities and love on this day but she also captured the love between our favorite humans on the dance floor that night. They aren’t just pictures but true pieces of art with gorgeous lighting, angles and details captured perfectly! 10/10 recommend to all!

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Ishan & Preeti Ishan Fotografi were the perfect photographers for our wedding day.

Ishan & Preeti have an amazing ability to build rapport and make you feel at ease, which was invaluable on our big day. We are thrilled with the final photos and couldn't recommend them more highly!
