It's always hard and stressful when planning a wedding. But especially hard finding the perfect photographer to capture your vision and style on your special day. With Morgan she did a great job, she made it so easy for us leading up to the big day and during our wedding. One of my favorite things she did, aside for our amazing wedding photos, was giving us a shot list. It made sure she knew and we knew exactly what photos we wanted taken throughout our wedding; to make sure we got all the family and friend photos we wanted. Not only was it easy to work with Morgan she made is as stress free as possible which I'm sure was hard to do with the uncertain times during a pandemic and having to postpone our wedding more than once.

Kelly Loss Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Valley Center, CA for additional fees

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Kelly was our wedding photographer and we couldn’t recommend her enough! She perfectly captured our wedding in her photos, and we really feel like we relive the day every time we look at them. She helped us think through what we wanted our photos to reflect, which made them all the more meaningful to us because they are true to our relationship. Her photography style is timeless, lively, and approachable. Kelly’s kind and down to earth nature really stands out in an otherwise daunting wedding industry.

My name is Stephanie. Myself and my Husband Steve are Fireside Sparrow Photography. We lead with intention to create a gallery that is artfully authentic to your day because your wedding is unique and should reflect who you are. We do NOT offer video. We are boutique photographers that are for the clients and couples that value photography but also value being present in their day. Your wedding is not a day of photos, we come to take photos of your day. Every package is custom to each client as your experience with us is exclusive to you.

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

She not only produced the most amazing photos, but she helped us throughout the entire wedding planning process. The first time we met with Victoria, she helped us create our wedding timeline and walk through exactly how we wanted our wedding captured. All of the advice she gave from her wedding experience was such a big help. Victoria did an amazing job rallying the troops for photos calmly and professionally.

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

Anj Photographer 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Valley Center, CA for additional fees

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

From the moment we first met Anj, we knew we were in good hands. Her warm personality and creative vision made us feel comfortable and confident, which reflected beautifully in our wedding photographs. Anj’s creative direction and knack for marrying our ideas with her unique perspective brought a new level of richness and depth to our photos. She captured the essence and energy of our wedding day with an extraordinary attention to detail, freezing the fleeting moments of joy, laughter, and love for us to cherish forever. Perhaps one of the most memorable experiences was the impromptu post-wedding photo shoot in the ocean. Dressed in our wedding attire amidst the crashing waves, we felt like we were in a fairytale, and the photos came out stunning, to say the least! It was an idea that could only have come from a true artist like Anj, who pushes boundaries to create unforgettable moments. Anj’s professionalism shone through in every step of the process. She delivered the meticulously edited photos in a timely manner and maintained open and constant communication, keeping us updated and at ease. In short, Anj didn’t just photograph our wedding; she crafted a beautiful narrative of our special day. We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want a friendly, imaginative, and reliable photographer who can turn your moments into memories, look no further than Anj.

I have worked with Janelle many times over the past ten years. She is the most cheerful professional photographer. She has worked at all the venues, knows the ins and outs, and excels at Elopements in Grand Teton National Park. Her website speaks volumes. Every photographer should have a website that looks like hers. She goes above and beyond with the resources she offers there. Just a small example: When I transitioned five years ago from running a venue and planning weddings there to serving Jackson, Wyoming, and Southeast Idaho, she sent me a welcome package and was such a cheerleader in my new venture. Having excellent working relationships with vendors is essential, and she makes it easy. When she works with her clients to set a timeline for photography that she shares with planners, it is always flawless. Hire her today!

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I live in Oregon with my two cats Clara & Leonardo and about a hundred tropical plants 😆🪴 I love exploring the Pacific Northwest, but I’ve also been able to travel throughout the states and overseas. I’m a huge national parks nerd, a sci-fi enthusiast, and a vintage collector with a serious thrifting addiction.

Working with Naomi from Northwest Hearts Photography was a pleasure. She has a creative eye and took the time to get to know us as a couple. She was able to beautifully captured the emotion in our engagement photos and was willing to travel to our favorite spot on the coast. Unfortunately a last minute family emergency prevented her from shooting our wedding day. However, Naomi communicated with us promptly and had arranged for a capable backup photographer to step in, which helped ensure our special day went smoothly. While we were disappointed not to have Naomi herself there, we appreciated her professionalism and care in making sure we were taken care of. We'd recommend Naomi for her creativity, flexibility and dedication to her clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
Douglas was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding on 08/17/24. Our original wedding photographer cancelled two weeks before our wedding, and a friend recommended we reach out to Doug. He was thankfully available and from the moment we reached out, he was so easy to communicate with - always quick to respond, extremely accommodating, and so easy-going. His work has been absolutely beautiful, he has an amazing understanding of light, composition, and framing with a lot of experience working with outdoor conditions that truly captured the essence of our special day. Doug fit right in with our wedding - he showed up early, stayed late, and somehow (while just following the standard schedule of the day) managed to get the most incredible true lighting and color in *all* of our photos - everything feels exactly like the day itself felt. We couldn't be happier with the results and would without a doubt recommend Douglas R Hall Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

CONGRATULATIONS! You just got engaged! :o I'm a firm believer in weddings being a blast, so I do what I can to make sure that your time spent with me is fun, active, natural, and feels like YOU! I'm also a firm believer in doing my part in making your wedding planning simpler for you, because let's face it wedding planning can be a bit overwhelming especially in the beginning. Also, weddings are stupid expensive and the moment you add the word "wedding" to anything the price jumps like 5x which is NOT COOL, and doesn't set couples up for success. So I try to keep my prices low. If you need help paying let me know!

Nick is our friend and was great to work with! He was very flexible with our appointment date, scoped out our preferred location before the photo shoot for great ideas, and made us feel at ease. One fun moment was when we ran into horse drawn sleighs in our Christmas city, and Nick actually asked the driver if we could just get a few photos on the sleigh (which turned out to be pretty magical). Nick also blew our expectations with both the quality and quantity of photos he edited and sent to us within just a couple weeks during the busy holiday season. Pricing is exceptional, and photos speak for themselves. Would highly recommend :)

I'm a Las Vegas based professional wedding photographer, working with couples from all over the world, as well as a travelling wedding photographer. Along with adoring weddings, I'm a serious hockey fan, with silver hair, and a terribly awkward smile. When I’m not photographing people, I love photographing Lego Minifigs on location, Darth Vader being a favorite (and personal hero) but I like expanding my collection of character portraits. I have a wicked sense of humor, a weakness for Rom Com’s & Spanish red wine. In my personal time I work closely with a local dog rescue, as a foster home and photographer, helping find their furever homes.

Awarded Best of Zola
Victoria was amazing to work with! Being in Vermont and having our wedding in Las Vegas we utilized reviews and her bio to make our decision. We definitely made the right one! We exchanged a few emails and phone calls to get the basics set. As we got closer to our date we finalized details and what we wanted her to capture. Her upbeat personality and unique style were exactly what we were looking for. She captured our day perfectly and made sure to check in with me as the Bride on a 95 degree day (water, little breaks, final check in before they left)! We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Victoria. Our photos are beyond what we could have imagined. Highly, highly recommend her for your next photography needs!

Hi there! I’m Sara, the creative force behind Iris Rose. As a child, I loved to create - it was my favorite thing. Through years of navigating life’s challenges, I drifted away from my creative roots. In 2020, I picked up a camera and photography brought me back to that creative space, allowing me to capture something both beautiful and meaningful and I fell in love. When I’m being creative, I feel like my best self.

Working with Sara has always been an incredible experience. As a videographer, I have found having a positive collaboration between photo and video is a very important key to a wedding day running smoothly – this is always the case when shooting with Sara. She not only has a great creative eye, but she is also a fantastic leader. Outside of shooting together, Sara and I have a continued collaboration and share our work with each other for constructive feedback and this relationship has proved to be invaluable.

Based in the heart of Nashville and journeying with couples worldwide full-time since 2018, I specialize in crafting timeless, low-stress, editorial images and elevated, audio-centric cinematic wedding films. For the free-spirited and the adventurous, for the lovers of art and bold style, your dream wedding memories await. Everyone deserves to have their wedding captured with care, creativity, and kindness. I can't wait to create an amazing experience for you and your partner.

TLDR: she is talented, professional & kind very helpful as someone with limited mobility. Tessa & her team photographed & recorded my wedding last weekend, and they were a dream to work with. I am chronically ill & so I knew on my wedding day I could not be running around to different locations for photos, and Tessa was extremely mindful of that fact & made sure to work within the parameters of what was doable for me. I was worried my limited mobility would mean my photos would be a little boring, but she's already sent a handful of pictures over for a sneak peek & they are GORGEOUS. Tessa is a true professional but also someone who clearly loves what she does, which I think really shows in the quality of her work. Could not be more glad to have had her & her team document my special day! :)

THE HOLY GRAIL OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS. Truly the best experience and photographer I could have asked for. This young woman is highly artistic, professional, hard working, and goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best photos and session experience. She has taken my graduation photos, engagement photos, and now wedding photos. She offers great customizable package deals well worth your money. She asks all the right questions to ensure you get the photos you want. She arrives early, drives or travels to any lengths, and delivers her photos early. She makes you feel comfortable, brings out the natural candid side of you (and your man for those of you with shy and camera timid men like mine). She captures all the important moments during your event and offers a second shooter for extra coverage. I could not have asked for a better photographer or experience. What an artist.

I’m McKenzie, a photographer who embraces my couples who desire physical visual memories of their connection at any level, so you can have the stages of your relationship captured to look back on and remember all of the little things that feel so big; the way they brush your hair out of your face or beam at how beautiful you are, or even the smallest thing like a hand on your thigh. All of these things help you feel exactly how you felt in that moment. If you are here, you desire a photo gallery that makes you feel something.

Definitely get the photography/videography wedding package w/ KNZ Photography. McKenzie, Austin, and team were so much fun to work with and knew how to direct all of the various personalities of our 16 person wedding party (not an easy task!). Her creativity in using the venue's elements, organization to keeping the day on track, and warm personality made my wedding day even more special. I enjoyed working with her every step of the way and you will too!

Communication is so important when planning a wedding and she was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls, answering every question we had along the way. She has such a warm, friendly personality that put us instantly at ease on our big day. The photographs perfectly captured the love and joy we felt. Kiera has a true talent for composing romantic, artistic shots as well as fun candids. The collection as a whole tells the story of our wedding beautifully.

There’s an important distinction between someone who takes photos and a photographer. Anyone can take a photo, while a photographer captures what’s intangible: the feelings of the moment, the love, and the joy. Leslie is a photographer. She is a master of her craft, and what’s truly unique about Leslie is her strong appreciation and eye for details, her thoughtfulness and intuition, and her mission to create a timeless legacy of our love. We hired Leslie for our engagement and wedding photos, and the photos speak for themselves—they are absolutely breathtaking. We wanted to be able to look at our photos and feel what we felt in that moment. Leslie gifted us by achieving exactly that and perfectly capturing the magic of the most special day of our lives. We will never stop singing her praises!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

I am based out of Connecticut + New England but also travel for destination weddings. I am passionate about creating long lasting memories with my clients. I love to travel (15+ countries and counting!), discover new places and meet new people. Fun fact: I'm a french citizen that moved to the United States in 2016.

From the beginning, we were drawn to Ben's photography style. Once meeting him, the process was even better than we could have hoped for. Ben traveled the furthest he'd ever traveled for a wedding for us! He was incredibly friendly, kind, and fun to talk/work with. On our big day, Ben was relaxed and calm even when things seemed to get crazy, He listened to exactly what we wanted and found the best stops for pictures and our private vows. I HIGHLY recommend him for any event. Ben and his photography are amazing!!

Hi! I’m Jules. I like to think of myself as an artistic storyteller. I love capturing LOVE and have been a professional photographer for 12+ years (don’t let the baby face fool you). I want to know what makes you & your partner tick. Every couple is different & I love making your photos feel like YOU. (& for you to feel super hot, obv.) I would love to share full galleries with you and would be HONORED to create art with you on your dreamiest day! Storytelling is why I do this day in and day out. We don’t do boring over here ;)

Where do I even begin…. We cannot recommend Jules enough. She got herself all the way to New Hampshire/Vermont for us and not only did she take amazing photos but was totally up for hiking a mountain with us. She is so incredibly talented and so easy going. I have looked back at my photos so many times at this point just to feel the memories again. We are both so awkward and goofy, and she was able to transform that into some of the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen. She is the hardest worker and is so passionate about what she does. Do yourself a favor and book Jules for whatever the occasion might be! You will not regret it!

I truly found a love for storytelling once I got into weddings. Weddings are these multifaceted microcosms of stories and relationships that continue to keep me fascinated and excited about capturing them. I find that my style leans towards an editorial, documentary storytelling side, with hints of sophisticated moody & edgy. You feel the emotions of the moment when looking back on your photos I have captured just for you.

I absolutely love the work Jesi B does. She knows how to catch a vision and deliver. She is upbeat, helps you calmly deal with stressful situations should they arise, and is just so fun! The end results are always stunning and flawless. Just yes yes yes, all around, 1,000 times YES.

From start to finish Katy with Klein Photography helped to make the day run smooth and give us the photos of an event we will never forget. She did photos from getting ready (she even helped the bride with her makeup because she was melting), climbed up on tables, benches, playground equipment anything to get the shot. I was one of two bridesmaids in this wedding and she worked with bride on shot list, schedule, and helped keep and wrangle the wedding party to make it all happen! Very profession, kind, and fun! Highly recommend, she truly went above and beyond, and the final product was amazing! As sister of the groom, I was very protective of that day for my little brother and his beautiful bride!

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 and Wide Eyed Studios gave us something we couldn't find anywhere else. They were able to capture the totality of our destination wedding experience. On top of that Ashley and Rebecca were able to take the pressure off of couples portraits before the wedding by creating a unique, intimate, striking, outdoor day-after location shoot. This allowed us to enjoy the run up to our wedding with minimal disruptions and gave us a portrait shoot that exceeded our expectations. Having Wide Eyed Studios with us during our entire destination event helped us authentically capture all of the fun moments we had with our friends and family leading up to the wedding. They were able to capture so much more than I had expected, and we now have so much more to look back on with incredible photos. With all of the amazing imagery that was captured, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception got even more love. The comfort level that was already gained with Ashley having been integrated with the group upleveled all of the content that was captured on wedding day. We are so thankful for all of the moments that were captured. Overall, the entire experience with Ashely and Wide Eyed Studios was so meaningful to us. They felt more a part of our celebration than a vendor we hired to support it. We couldn't have asked for anything more and the pictures we received still make us shake our heads with disbelief. Thank you, Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios for making our destination wedding the best it could possibly be.
