  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Swarthmore, PA

Hey y’all! My name's Gabriella, I love sunshine and I'm a documentary-style wedding & engagement photographer based in Philadelphia. I'm a hopeless romantic and I adore documenting love stories with my camera in a beautiful & compelling way. Basically, I’m a down-to-earth gal from Pennsylvania who got hooked on the travel bug at college in Georgia (go dawgs!!), has a passion for storytelling and absolutely loves love. Running, biking and chasing sunsets are my favorite pastimes. I’m team coffee AND team tea. I dream real big and I’m full of ambition. Oh, and I'm not just you wedding photographer ... I'm your new friend :)

How do we even begin to say how amazing she was? As soon as we saw that Gabriella described her personality as the color yellow, we knew she was the one for us, and she proved time and time again that we were right. From our first zoom call to our finished gallery, she was a joy to work with. She made everything so easy, from questionnaires to our engagement shoot. She made our wedding day feel effortless. We were both worried about being awkward in front of a camera, but she gave lots of wonderful prompts and little games that were easy and fun for us to do, and left us with stunning pictures we were in absolute awe of. Gabriella does everything with such a personalized touch, which really made us feel special. On your big day, she is not just your photographer, she is your biggest fan and the best hype girl you could hope for, and she was willing to help with any aspect of your day, not just pictures. Need a hairpin tucked? Gabriella's got you. Looking for a guest? She is on it! Did you miss the milkshake shots as they went by? Gabby's got your back! From start to finish, Gabriella and her team really were more than we could have ever imagined. Big shoutout to Connie and Sam! Thank you for everything 3

Thank you for visiting & CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!!! We are based in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area but travel all over for weddings. Our furthest yet was Vermont! Our bright, colorful & crisp photography style provides our clients with timeless images that will be forever cherished.When I am not working, I enjoy drinking wine, trying new breweries, traveling to the New Jersey shore with my husband, our baby boy born in February 2024 & family, watching Harry Potter for the millionth time, & cuddling with our two adopted dogs.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Andrea and how wonderful she made our wedding day and our whole experience. As we go through our album, choosing Andrea as our photographer was probably the best decision we made with our wedding. I cannot thank Andrea enough for her energy, professionalism, awesome sense of humor, and fun that she brought to our wedding day. From the moment she arrived, Andrea and her partner Jess were on top of everything. They were enthusiastic and proactive to make sure we got all of the photos we wanted. All of our bridal party and families were so impressed with Andrea and Jess’s ability to get everyone’s attention for the photos quickly while making sure each picture was perfect and everyone could be seen. Despite the rain on the evening of our wedding, Andrea planned everything out so that we could get as many pictures outside and she even had us take pictures under an overhang that turned out perfect. I feel like she took advantage of every moment to capture the best pictures possible. Our pictures are absolutely phenomenal. I have received SO many compliments on our wedding pictures. I love how Andrea uses the light in her pictures to make them vibrant and colorful. Going through the album, I relived the entire day. She documented everything so well and didn’t miss a second. Andrea and Jess also captured so many candid moments from the wedding that had us laughing and smiling. You can see our guests’ smiles and laughing expressions so clearly throughout the ceremony and reception. Every single picture was flawless and will serve as a wonderful memory for our day. When deciding on a photographer, I was instantly drawn to Andrea’s crisp, bright pictures. I am just so beyond happy at how beautiful the pictures are and how I will always be able to remember our special day so clearly. My husband and I had to change our wedding date three times because of COVID, and we are so grateful that we had Andrea, who was so patient and professional with us. Now that our wedding has come and gone, I am so thrilled that we chose Andrea and will have her pictures as a beautiful memory of our wedding day. I highly recommend Andrea Krout Photography, and I am looking forward to hopefully have Andrea photograph other events for my family in the future.

Tara Whited Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Swarthmore, PA

Speed date: I love to go thrifting. Schitt’s Creek and HIMYM are two TV shows always on repeat. I really hate cooking. I love brunch and drink way too much coffee. I’m a mom and I’m obsessed with my kid. Words of affirmation & physical touch are my love languages. I have the WORST sense of direction. I try to always do my part to protect our environment. Aries is my zodiac sign. I’m Irish + Greek. I drink coffee like it keeps me alive. Taking a walk is the best way to spend a warm day. Like a true millennial, I have way too many houseplants. Greece, Ireland and Italy are at the top of my travel bucket-list.

When I say I searched high and low for a photographer with vintage style editing like Tara, I mean it. I spent months and months looking. She was always on my radar but was unfortunately booked for our date. After lots of contemplation and talking it over with Tara, we decided to go the route of having a “sub” photographer shoot the day and then Tara would do the editing herself. WOW did that work out for the best. The photographers that came for day of were two INCREDIBLE ladies, one I was highly considering when I found out Tara was booked, the other is now my business brand photographer. I brag all the time about how I was lucky enough to get the “dream team package”. It was like 3 for the price of one. As much as I would have loved to have Tara there on that day, I’m truly thankful for how she made it work in the best way possible. 10/10 recommend Tara!

I am vegan, and I care deeply for social and environmental justice. I love memories, analog media, and romance. I'm Brazilian and now I'm in Philadelphia. I started photography in 2017 when I worked primarily with female portraits. I am transitioning to a new chapter in my life where I moved halfway across the world for love. With that feeling, my desire to do this for others grows.

Cauanne is the sweetest vendor we worked with. She treats you like a friend not a client and it makes you feel so special. You can tell she really loves what she does and cares about her work. On the day of our wedding she was amazing, always trying to keep us on the timeline without risking the photos. She gave us access to some photos a few days after the wedding and I already love them, I can’t wait for the rest! She has such a lived in and vintage feel to her photos that I love that so much. We also got super 8 of the day and I can’t wait to see how it turned out!

I’m a wedding and family photographer located in Newtown., PA. Like many good things in life, my love of photography took hold when I least expected it. I was living in New York, meeting new friends, and surrounded by some of the most creative and inspiring people I know. I was studying computer animation at the time, but photography was my excuse to take a break and go outside. After a few months, I knew it was what I wanted to pursue!

What can I say about Alyssa?! Alyssa photographed our backyard Covid wedding in July of 2020 and has now become the backbone of all our major milestones. From the birth of our first child, to family Christmas photos, she’s been with us through it all! She is such a pleasure to work with and her photos are amazing. I could go on and on but I would end up with a novel. 20/10 recommend Alyssa for all your photographing needs!

We only have one life; I believe in making it count, keeping it real, and showing off my terrible dance moves. I love animals, going to shows, eating tacos, cuddling with my children, and traveling. My photography style is raw, real, and authentic. I make it simple for you, keep it light, and focus on the precious candid moments that naturally occur between two people who are madly in love. Years from now, I want you to look at your wedding photographs and have all of those memories come flooding back; the bliss, sentiment, the fun, and laughter!

I mean, the title should say it all, really. Sharyn and her team are absolutely awesome. My husband and I are not the type to get our pictures taken professionally, and naturally, I was kind of nervous. She and Rachel made everything so easy and smoothe. When family portraits came around- it was go time and they knew what they were doing. We're a month after the wedding and everybody is still gawking over the photos-- and they're only the previews! I can't wait to get the rest of them and we can't thank Sharyn and Rachel for taking the best pics and making us feel at ease in front of the camera :)

She specializes in engagement shoots, boudoir, rehearsal dinner coverage, elopement, local and travel weddings, as well as day after portrait sessions. WES offers versatile packages & pricing; reach out and speak with Ashley about your needs.

Ashley is the BEST!! She did my wife and I’s engagement and wedding photographs. They are the best photos we’ve ever had taken of us. Every single photo of us is so raw but perfect and showcases our love in a way I had never seen captured! She also did my parents wedding photos and they are even more amazing(which I didn’t think was possible). I have seen some one off photos over the years kind of capturing the love my parents had (they had been together my entire life and then some aka 38 years before their wedding in 06/24). But every photo Ashley had taken that night managed to capture a glimpse of love that was so fleeting in the captured moments we had! I have no idea how she managed to capture that in every shot but she has a truly magical vision that can do that. It’s the only thing I can come up with! you will never regret booking with Ashley and you deserve to see all the emotions she can capture!

Hey there! I’m Aubrey, your friendly Delaware County photographer. I’m a classic car loving, Janis Joplin humming twenty-something. I am Mama to two wild boys and wife to a handsome redhead. Photography and the printed image are things that I hold close to my heart, right next to leather jackets, fuzzy dogs, vinyl records, and cheetah print everything. All of this nonsense information about me might not seem important, but trust me, it is. Your photographer should be more than just a somebody who knows their way around a camera— they should be someone you jive with. .

We cannot express how happy we are with the pre planning process, the communication, the rapport, service, photos and album! As far as our finished album, we have showed it off to so many people and everyone absolutely loves it just as much as we do. The editing, the sequence, the angles, all of it! So beautiful. The level of service and talent combined that Brey offers comes few and far between. We will certainly keep her in mind for any future needs for professional photography.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We used her for our engagement shoot & wedding photos. We didn’t realize that you should choose your wedding photography *style* before you reach out to potential photographers. If you go the other route—book first, learn about the style later—you may end up with photos that don’t match your vision. We came to Carrie after our first photographer disappointed us. She has more of a documentary style with less of an emphasis on the awkwardly posed photos. However, she will still go the extra effort to get an amazing poses shot if you ask. She has such a laid back and positive attitude. I recommend Carrie to anyone looking for beautiful images and a wedding day that doesn’t feel like a photoshoot. She’s a true professional.

We loved everything about working with Natalie from start to finish and couldn’t recommend The Finding Co enough! We loved their style as soon as we saw their work and loved that they seemed to capture the details, small moments, and emotion of the day so well. they fully delivered on that! Our wedding day was a bit rainy/misty which seriously limited the spaces where we could shoot group photos. Natalie adapted so quickly to the poor lighting and tight spaces and really embraced the misty atmosphere to create timeless but creative shots. We love our photos SO much and they truly capture not just the aesthetics of the day but the love, fun, and emotion. Natalie and her second shooter Danielle were such a pleasure to have around us the whole day. They were present but still blended into the background seamlessly. You won’t regret working with them!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenn is...amazing. I don't think there is anyone out there more awkward in front of a camera than me. Yet she still managed to capture the most beautiful wedding and engagement photos! And that’s because she doesn’t just capture photos - she captures moments. She will help you feel at ease, help you figure out your own style, and she will be HONEST when you request photos about how realistic they are. Jenn sees the world through rose colored glasses, and I can’t think of a better trait for a photographer.

Freezing time in a flash of a second. Starting this company has led me to pursue my passions - and I couldn't be more excited to work with you!

I found Janine with Vow2Vow through Zola. I was drawn to her style of photography because I felt like she edited photos in a natural way. We scheduled a phone call and she was so warm and answered all my questions. As the wedding day got closer, I gave Janine my list of preferred shots. She managed to get every single shot!! I should note that I did not have a wedding party so that freed us up for portraits during the cocktail hour. All night Janine was unobtrusive while still managing to get the shots. She also did a great job of keeping an eye on the timeline and moving us swiftly along so we were able to enjoy the night. My husband and I were leaving for our honeymoon the day following the wedding so Janine managed to quickly give us some sneak peaks to hold us over until the final album was edited. I also have to mention that Janine was able to get good photos of my toddler children and manage to make us all look good despite the hundred percent humidity. We will cherish these photos forever!

We had a clear vision for our wedding photos: just a few staged shots and the rest as candid documentation of our special day. Joe and Lindsey delivered on this beautifully, capturing the absolute magic of the evening. Joe has an incredible knack for knowing the perfect poses for our staged photos, but what truly blew us away were the candid moments he captured. The genuine joy and emotion of the day shone through every photo. They went above and beyond, even joining us on the dance floor to capture the fun and excitement! One of the standout moments was when they quickly edited a few photos during dinner and set up an iPad at the bar for our guests to sneak a peek at the photos taken before the ceremony. This thoughtful touch amazed us and left our friends and family delighted! Choosing Love and Legacy Studios was the best decision we made for our wedding. They felt like an extension of our celebration, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Thank you, Joe and Lindsey, for capturing our day in such a beautiful and memorable way.

DigitalFirst Photography was started in 2006 while I was in college. I always loved cameras and movies, but never really knew where to begin. So, I bought a camera and just started taking photos of whatever I could. One wedding turned into two, which turned into four, and so on and so forth. After 17 years and more than 800 weddings, I still love capturing moments in time. After your wedding day, all you really have left are your photos and videos. Let's make memories together!

Love working with Mike, he’s easy going and fun but professional!

Hi! I'm Meghan. I've had a love for photography since my parents bought me my first camera for Christmas in 2001. I took pictures of anyone and anything that sat still for more than .03 seconds. The more pictures I took, the more I loved it. It became a passion of mine, but it wasn't until later that I had the dream of starting my own business. In the meantime, I teach middle school - 7th grade Language Arts to be exact. Yes, it's exactly as crazy as you're imagining, likely even more so. Teaching has taught me two things: patience and how to laugh at myself.

There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing a photographer Meghan is. We unfortunately, did not have such a great wedding photographer the first time and had to completely “remake” our wedding ceremony photos almost a year later. It was one of the most stressful things to encounter, however, Meghan totally stepped in and saved the day. From her bubbly and fun personality, to her professionalism and unwavering support of us and our wedding party, she took away all the stresses that came with having to re-do our wedding photos. We never worried if she was getting the right pictures or our vibe as a couple and she honestly made it EXTREMELY fun taking all our pictures. We had our ceremony and reception broken into two different events, unfortunately due to covid and we loved her so much we hired her for our reception as well! Not only did she capture photograph’s that will last a life time, but we really felt like we made a life long friendship with her. We cannot recommend her enough and if you are still wondering if you should reach out, please do!

I'm Krista the face behind the camera at Snap Avenue Photography. I spent almost a decade living in New York City where I turned my lifelong hobby of photography into a career. Note: Currently based in the SF Bay Area but moving to Philadelphia in 2022. Booking both east and west coast weddings for 2022-2023 I am always willing to travel!

We hired Krista for our engagement photos and we are so happy with our decision. I am notoriously awkward in photos and she made me feel so comfortable and put all my nerves at ease. My husband and I did not know what location to chose and Krista was able to help us pick the perfect spot which ended being a local park. The park she guided us towards choosing means a lot to us as a couple making these pictures even more special. She definitely has the ability to make what we thought was an unassuming park the perfect backdrop with her artistic eye. She also took beautiful pictures of my ring which I didn’t expect but am so happy I have now. She was extremely professional throughout the shoot. Picking a photographer is such a hard choice because this is what will be hanging on your walls for the rest of your life and we couldn’t be happier that we went with Krista! I do not ever hesitate to recommend her.

I can not say enough good things about the photos that Lauren delivered to us following our wedding. She captured some truly personal touching moments that I did not see that day. She did not miss a single important moment. She was sweet, professional and very accommodating to our crazy group. I would highly highly recommend her for your next event!

An open-minded creative with a love for love. Nice to meet you, I'm Liz! I'm a traveling wedding and portrait photographer based on the East Coast. My photography style can be described as classic, true to color, and candid imagery with an artistic focus.

Liz fell into my lap when my previous photographer had to cancel on me for my wedding. I had looked over Liz’s work and I will say, she was the only photographer I contacted who set up a FaceTime with me! Which I felt was so personal and we got to really chat. We clicked right away & I felt like I made a friend as well! She was so easy going to work with & was SO fun too! The turnaround time on our full gallery? The fastest. The gallery?! ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. So stunning! Liz caught so many fantastic moments. What a true blessing in disguise and having the ability to work with her!!

I’ve been photographing weddings for 11 years and I have so much love for this career. Weddings are never the same and it really keeps you on your toes. I still find myself tearing up during vows or parent dances, still always leave the day feeling like I am so blessed to do what I do. I love challenging myself to really capture the day in an unfolding storytale way so that when my clients look back at their photos, it feels like they’re right back in those moments.

Nellie did an amazing job for our wedding. The day of the wedding, her calming, relaxed presence made our day even more enjoyable. She delivered our photos quickly and we loved them all! She captured the joy and happiness we had on that day in a way we didn’t even know was possible. We would recommend her to anyone!! Loved Nellie!

Bill was amazing: professional but friendly. Really took time to hear about my vision for the photography. He also provided a script of which photos he would take and in which order, but he was open to me adjusting the script to fit my needs. He visited the ceremony and reception sites in advance to scope them out, and he told me about how the sunlight affected the timing of what photos he took where. He was also great fun taking engagement photos. I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer.
