He made us feel totally comfortable and at ease for our photos. He also was very discreet with his photography, which was really important to us as we didn’t want to feel overwhelmed and wanted to keep our moments private and intimate. Zak and Kristen also turned around our photos so quickly! We have nothing but good things to say about Zak and would recommend him to any couples looking for a photographer.

I started my business in the beginning of 2019 while living in North Carolina. What I thought was just going to be a part time hobby, turned into something much much more. I was a stay at home mom looking to do something with my life that gave me more of a purpose, and that is when I started photographing weddings!

From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles.

Gangi Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves State College, PA

We're a husband and wife team who love working together in pursuing our dreams while inspiring each other. We love capturing a combination of artistic and authentic moments that tells everyone's individual story. We pre-visualize from different perspectives, get inspiration from not the most obvious sources and view the world differently, especially photography. When we aren't behind our cameras, you can catch us binging one of our favorite shows, trying out a new local restaurant, or hanging out with our two cats Elmore & Albert.

We could not recommend Tim and Mercedes enough! They are simply amazing and delightful to work with. We interviewed a few top photographers in the area and ended up choosing Gangi Photography for a few reasons but the main one was how organized they were (I am super type A). My husband and I were planning a wedding during a pandemic and across the country and we were totally worried about EVERYTHING. Tim and Mercedes did everything they could to help us. They were quick to answer emails and phone calls, they went out of their way to meet up with us the one day we were in town before the wedding, and their organized and thoughtful approach to the day-of schedule was a lifesaver. Then came the wedding day. My husband and I are awkward and shy in photos, but Tim and Mercedes made us comfortable and relaxed immediately. They were quick to adjust to changes and accommodated all the little bumps along the way, and they helped tremendously with our sassy grumpy flower girl the day of. Then we got our photos! WE LOVE THEM! They are even better than we could have imagined. We will cherish these photos and the memories of our wedding day for years to come.

Photographing weddings isn't a job I take lightly. This is one of the most important days of your life, and you want to have quality photographs to remember it by! I love all types of weddings. Whether they're big or small or at a venue or in your parent's backyard, I will photograph the heck out of it. I appreciate attention to detail, while remembering the photos you'll cling to maybe aren't your shoes, but the ones of you and your mom, or your grandparents, or your extended family from out of town.

I have worked with Lindsey many times before, and each time I work with her I am even more impressed. She truly makes the entire process so flawless and easy. My wedding day would not have been the same without her and her second shooter! I recommend Lindsey a thousand times over!

Hello, congratulations on your engagement! So happy you've found me! Weddings are such a special time for you, the newly engaged couple and all of your family & friends. I want to celebrate your love and make it so you can relive it for years and years to come! I want you to see yourselves shining through your photos and not me, the photographer.

The best decision I made for our wedding was hiring Ashlee as our photographer! She got back to my emails quickly and communicated well throughout the time leading up to our wedding. Our pictures were the most important part for me. I was 100% confident in my decision simply from our engagement pictures Ashlee took. She actually got my husband to loosen up, smile, and have fun while taking pictures. Our wedding day was no different. She had us laughing and playing around, and she truly captured our love and fun. The entire wedding party and our parents kept saying how amazing Ashlee and her second photographer, Taylor, were. They both worked so well together and with our party. They captured all the groups of people I wanted, and all of the other images I wanted as well, such as the details of everything I made for the wedding (flowers, centerpieces, signs) and specific shots of us around the venue. Ashlee even captured moments I had no idea she was there for which I love. We got our pictures back really fast. All of them are gorgeous. I can't stop looking at them! They aren't just staged poses. They're fun, loving, and most importantly, real. Ashlee's pictures show your true personality and capture the moments you never want to forget for the rest of your lives. I can relive every part of that day thanks to Ashlee and her incredible photography. It'll be the best decision you make, too!

I photograph wedding and lifestyle sessions that are genuine and natural. The moments caught in time that represent you. I love working with clients to create the perfect outfits, timeline, and plan so they can be fully present. Enjoying every candid moment, effortlessly. I really love people. Maybe it's the way God made me or that my grandma Irene worked tirelessly to make sure every single person she came in contact with felt known and loved. I have a passion for making you feel beautiful and ready to take on the world. Your story is worth capturing.

Emily goes above and beyond and will not disappoint! My husband and I hired Emily for our engagement and wedding photos and from the beginning she was a pleasure to work with. Her professionalism is top of the line and you can count on her. She made being in front of the camera easy and lighthearted and she was overly sweet to everyone that she was around. Genuinely she is just an amazing person and you can not find a sweeter person to capture an event with. Along with this, she is quick and efficient. You do not have to worry about standing around for hours to have all of your wedding photos taken. She will effectively get the job done and her images will be STUNNING. My jaw drops every time I re-look at our photos, because there is always a new detail to pick up on! She really knows how to photograph such a special day. At this point, we are conflicted with which wedding photos vs. engagement photos to print large scale and frame because her work is THAT AMAZING. Honestly, magazine worthy! We are glad we found her and hope to use her again to capture another life milestone. You will not regret hiring Emily!

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.

Take it from us... marriage is not all sunshine and rainbows, but when looking back on photos and videos from your day, you'll remember the love you had from the beginning... not all the other "fluff." Being able to work together as a husband and wife team has been an amazing journey, but growing this company and establishing a trustworthy and talented group of creatives to serve our couples has become really important to us . We value the relationship you have and your love is all that matters. That's all that's left after the wedding anyway... and your photos and videos too of course.

Kristen and Christian and their team are wonderful!! From our engagement photos to the wedding day everything was just easy with them. They don’t bring crazy bulky equipment that gets in the way, we hardly even noticed they were there which was so nice when you just want to twirl around all night. The photos speak for themselves, they’re everything we hoped for, and we even got our sneak preview pics the next day which the family loved!!! Our wedding day was dark (December) and poured rain the whole time and yet the photos are crystal clear and oh so stunning. We chose Dearly Beloved because they do a great job in darker settings and they did not disappoint! To any bride in a twinkle lit setting, these are your photographers.

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!

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

I'm a coffee-loving corgi mom, obsessed with travel and all things love! I started this wedding photography business because I am fiercely in love with capturing soulmates. My style is timeless and authentic. Candid and fun. Emotional and jaw-droppingly beautiful. So take a deep breath. Soak it all in. I've got it from here.

Hiring Haley to be our photographer for our special day is the best choice we made in our wedding planning. For our engagement shoot, we perfectly captured sweet and candid moments, while also somehow getting our best angles. The entire afternoon with her was stress free, and it was easy to forget the purpose of the shoot as it was like hanging with a close friend, who simply wanted to document amazing memories. She captured our personalities and interests, and the photos were so incredible we had to use them on our invitations. Her presence on our wedding day was invaluable. She was a source of calm, organization, and ensured that both us as a couple, as well as the wedding party, remained on track. She is the biggest hype woman, friendly presence, and utmost professional. The sneak peeks that we have received were truly astonishing, and she captured all of the details and magic of the day between her ability to capture the light, the natural joy of others, and sheer talent. Throughout the planning process, there is nothing that she missed. She helped guide us for where we wanted to get photos, what photos we wanted to be sure of, and even creating a timeline. We cannot say enough positive things about Haley, her business, and her talent, and are so immensely thankful to her!

I’m Maria, an experienced wedding photographer specializing in multicultural and Western celebrations. As a child, I developed a passion for the arts and culture that only continued to grow with me. After studying photography in college, I decided to pursue wedding photography and have never looked back. I’ve found this path to be more fulfilling than I ever imagined possible, and have settled into my photojournalistic style over the years. I love photographing moments that unfold spontaneously. If you’re looking to capture your love in a way that feels authentic and creative, I’m here for you.

Our experience with Maria was excellent! We were initially overwhelmed when trying to select a photographer for our interfaith wedding, but seeing Maria’s photos on her website made the decision easy. We really appreciated her style of photography - deep rich colors and focus on the couple. Other photographers seemed to have a lot of strange angles and washed out colors, which we were trying to avoid. Hiring Maria was a breeze. She is responsive by email and always happy to jump on a call when needed. Part of her package included engagement photos, which were extremely helpful when putting together our save the dates and website. She is intuitive, yet also did a good job of asking us for our preferences to confirm. The wedding day was also a breeze, and Maria documented all of our key moments without being intrusive at all. Maria’s turnaround times are excellent, and she was never late with delivering sneak peeks or the digital albums. Finally, we also worked with Maria on the final physical photo album. She was very flexible and allowed us to have multiple rounds of revisions. She was very accommodating even when we wanted to swap out many photos for more preferred variations. It was a lot of work and Maria did not hesitate to help us develop the perfect album. Overall my wife and I would highly recommend Maria for any event based on our experience working with her for our wedding. Thanks Maria!

On your wedding day you will catch me buzzing around to capture all the perfect angles, to fixing your hair, & if necessary getting on the dance floor to help the shyest of crowds boost some confidence! Whatever it takes to keep the day moving as flawless as you, I am here for it!

Working with Jen was the best experience and we feel so lucky to be a part of her absolute ART. I (bride) was struggling looking for a photographer and asked my cousin (bridesmaid), a photographer herself, for help. She got to work and when she sent me Jen’s website, she said, “All of the images are gorgeous.” I had an inkling we were on to something as I filled out Jen’s very thoughtful inquiry form. Her response had such genuine and positive energy, and the rest is history! Because we are based in Brooklyn, we considered passing on the included engagement session but, to use Jen’s words, she “respectfully insisted” on coming to Brooklyn. My groom was explicitly comfortable having his photo taken, but quickly warmed up to the idea. Jen collaborated so thoughtfully with us and we chose a few locations meaningful to us as well as some classic shots on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was probably one of my favorite “dates” ever and Jen was the perfect third wheel. We even asked her along to our weekly Drag Bingo ritual after. The photos themselves (no surprise!) were incredible. We loved them and so did everyone else! They were personal and beautiful and cool, and we had a blast. I frequently commented over the course of wedding planning that the one thing we weren’t worried about was photography. We even used engagement photos as decor at the wedding and on matchbox favors! Jen was so supportive and interactive with us, both formally (more thoughtful forms!) and informally (little check-ins and chats over text/DM). We experienced a few challenges with our wedding venue over the course of planning, but there was so much comfort in knowing that besides enjoying a day with our people, we would have fantastic pictures because of Jen! We did first look and some of our photos before the ceremony and Jen got us in the groove for sure. It was really grounding to have that time together and just be able to trust fully that Jen would capture and deliver our dream photographs. Jen is a total pro and helped keep us to the schedule, but also kept us relaxed and enjoying the time. We were honestly sad to say goodbye at the end of the night, but she has a standing invite to Brooklyn. She sent us a few pictures just hours after the reception and a full sneak peek in under a week. We are, of course, THRILLED with the photos. We will treasure these captured moments forever!! We look forward to enthusiastically recommending Jen at every opportunity. We will always be grateful to have worked with such a talented, dedicated, thoughtful photographer who is also just a really good time. I could go on and on, but TLDR: Book Jennifer Syl Photography yesterday. We love you, Jen!!

Create, Capture, and Make Magic is my life motto. Looking back, all I can remember is my passion for art. Create to evolve from one’s imagination, Capture the beauty in ones eye and always Make Magic by seeing what is not in the lens, but to envision what no one else can see. That being said, I would be honored to take part in any of your upcoming life events. I appreciate you taking the time to get to know more insight behind the man of MMartin Productions, Michael Martin Jr. I look forward to hearing from you in the future!

Michael and his team photographed our wedding on 10/6/24 and I can honestly say they exceeded any and all of our expectations. First and most importantly our pictures came out absolutely stunning and Michael seamlessly rolled with the chaos of the day while still capturing every special moment. As the day went on Michael and his team ended up playing far more than just the role of my photo team and stepped up in every area that some other vendors fell short. I will recommend them over and over to brides, families or anyone looking for the best photos ever :’)

As a kid, I always thought I would grow up to be a professional baseball player. I wanted to travel the world playing a sport I loved more than anything else! As I grew up (and hit the realization that I probably wasn't cut out for professional sports), music and photography became my passion! I've had the privilege of traveling not across the United States but even abroad to capture nuptials in their sweetest fashion! From the Cliffs of Moher to the sand dunes of Texas, the Pacific Northwest to Cape Cod, I've experienced some amazing weddings! I'm thrilled to say that even though it's not baseball, I'm living out my dream job every day!

Cody Kurtz Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Cody, we were impressed by his kind, timely, and caring communication style. On the day of our wedding, Cody's gentle, comfortable, and detailed approach put everyone at ease. He expertly wrangled our large families, anticipating potential chaos and ensuring everyone looked stunning in the photos. Cody's ability to give clear direction while also making us feel comfortable was truly impressive. He captured every special moment of our wedding day, seemingly being everywhere at once without ever missing a beat. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that perfectly reflect the joy and love of our wedding celebration.
