We will laugh a lot, dancing at your wedding and hype you up because it’s your day and you deserve the best experience EVER.

“When it came to my wedding it was imperative that I connected with my photographer who was going to capture the happiest day of my life. I had talked to about 7 photographers in my planning process and yeah their work was great but none gave me the confidence to hire and commit. Well then I met Winnie, and she was the only person who took the time to want to meet me and get to know us. She immediately scheduled a call and just wanted to listen. She gave me the butterflies I needed and I knew she was the one I needed with me on my special day. On top of that, her work was impeccable and the exact style I wanted. I can’t say enough great things about Winnie and how she came to deliver. I’m obsessed with my photos and she was also my emotional support on my wedding day. My entire family loves her and her energy. It’s something about her authenticity and kindness that makes you feel confident confident about her executing the goal. I highly recommend her and suggest you check out her phenomenal work. Love you Winnie!!!!

We bring a fun, fresh and modern storytelling vibe to your wedding images and film and we are so stoked you found us!

Awarded Best of Zola
I did SO much research trying to find the right photo + video team to capture our elopement ceremony and separate reception event... I scoured wedding websites and social medias galore until we found them and fell in love with their work. We booked with Kris and Allison as one of our first vendors, (right at the beginning of all the COVID craziness) making sure that no matter what happened, we had the best team to capture everything. We wanted photos that felt “real”- natural editing, no awkwardly staged posing, and a timeless style that felt personal and unique, which could best showcase our love and who we are as a couple... We put complete trust in them, and WOW did they deliver!! After we did an engagement session with Allison and got our photos back, we were blown away! We knew our wedding gallery was going to be nothing short of epic. (Seriously, EPIC is even an understatement!) We’re definitely not “naturals,” and generally very uncomfortable in front of a camera, but she makes you feel so at ease, is patient, funny, and helpful with giving instructions to make you look and feel your best! Kris is so stealthy... so kind, super chill and easy to talk to, while sneakily capturing ALL the best shots without you ever even noticing! Our video ended up all pieced together in such a thoughtful and creative way that made us cry- watching it brings back all of the emotions so vividly! And even with our events happening on two different days, it all flowed together so flawlessly! Our photos and video felt so unique to us, and their detail and creative eye is excellent. On top of that, their personalities are just as great (I mean, I feel like having a cute married photo/video couple is just all around good wedding day vibes...), and after the reception so many guests commented on how cool and personable they were, while still being professional and never “in the way.” They fit right in at our intimate setting, and you can tell they just love “love” and their craft. To put it plainly, they really are just THAT good. Our wedding experience was enhanced x10000 because of them, and knowing that we’ll have the most beautiful photos to share for years and years is absolutely priceless. You only get one magical day, and when it’s over all you’ll have are the great memories and (hopefully, if you hire these guys) phenomenal photos + video! There are no words to describe how eternally grateful we are to have had them be a part of our “best day ever.” Or how well they were able to document all the details and moments of joy, love, and pure happiness between us and all our friends/family! I’d go on, but check out their work because it speaks for itself (seriously, I’m still obsessed with their Instagram feed after the fact!) I always knew the power of a great photo + video team, but the Silverbears are next level, 5 star, top shelf, A-Team, above and beyond, and truly remarkable. The best in the game.

The greatest gift we have ever received is time. I photograph as much of life as I can in order to preserve each of those moments as they once were. Time goes by so fast and sometimes we forget the small things, I started taking pictures because I want to be able to relive those wonderful moments as much as I could. I am learning new tricks of trade every day and experimenting with all the wonderful opportunities I am given. I travel all over the country to capture these cherished moments and love every second of it. Photography for me is a love and joy that if given the chance I can give those same moments back to you.

Bre is hands down the best wedding photographer! She is extremely professional in her work, but also makes the entire process so fun! I have had participated in many weddings (as well as my own) with Breana as the photographer and each one has been such an amazing experience! I look back on my wedding photos, bridals and engagement pictures every day and I am still in awe at how beautifully she captured each memory for us!

Hey new friends! We’re Sam + Kyle elopement photographers splitting our time between the PNW and the SW in our RV. It takes a whole lot of badassery to make the decision to elope and we are very into that kind of energy. We believe in making memories and images that capture all of the big feelings, and the in-between moments that you want to relive over and over again. You know, the kind of photos that hang on your wall and make ya smile real big because you remember exactly how you felt in that moment. We are so glad that you’re here and can’t wait to run wild with you.

I can't say enough good things about Kyle and Sam. My wife, who is trans, and I really wanted to find someone who would be sensitive and respectful of our unique relationship and our non unique wedding(I'm Native American and Irish and so we had those elements in our wedding). Hit the jackpot! While they let us know up front that they hadn't worked with a trans couple before they also let us know that they firmly believe that love is love and they just want to capture our happiness and our day for us. They made my wife feel comfortable which is saying a lot since she had just come out as trans a couple months ago and she absolutely hated photos. They make a great team with Sam doing most of the communication and Kyle taking the lead on the photos(they both shot photos). Sam is a bundle of energy that has one focus-making things go smoothly and making sure you're happy. Kyle has an artistic point of view that clearly comes across in their finished products of being superb. They were great at dealing with last minute snafu's and helping me navigate everything. Their photos are absolutely brilliant and we could not be more happy with them. In fact, we are planning on hiring them again for our one year anniversary when we invite our family and friends since we didn't have a big wedding due to covid. While some people will be a bit concerned about their price, they absolutely are worth every single penny. Their professionalism, their personalities, and their work simply can't be matched. Thank you Sam and Kyle!

I graduated in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in business management, and throughout college I received certifications in marketing, event management and advertising. I absolutely love my job and all the challenges that come with it, and I feel I’ve been thoroughly prepared for anything that could be thrown my way. ​ I started this company in January of 2020, when I started planning a friend's wedding and realized my passion wasn't just event planning, it was wedding planning. I took the time to train and understand different types of weddings, so that I can make sure my job is done right the first time.

Ivory & Sage Weddings was an outstanding choice for our wedding planning. From the very first conversation, Maeghan and her team demonstrated quick, efficient, and knowledgeable communication. On the day of the wedding, they were on time, kept everything running smoothly, and didn't hesitate to jump in whenever we needed something done. Maeghan was absolutely wonderful - she anticipated our every need so that when I asked, it was already taken care of. Her team handled all the set up and breakdown, and we were able to use their beautiful decor so we didn't have to bring or set up anything ourselves. We are thrilled with the exceptional service and value Ivory & Sage Weddings provided, and we would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

The Barn at Hickory Creek was the perfect venue for our special day. Their communication throughout the planning process was quick, helpful, and excellent - Mrs. Shartle helped us tremendously with making everything come together seamlessly. The beautiful, rustic barn and surrounding countryside created a peaceful and romantic setting that contributed so much to our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue for our wedding - it was everything we dreamed of and more!

Hi, I'm Pamela, a photographer who views every image as a work of art. My style blends documentary moments with thoughtfully posed portraits, creating moody, timeless imagery that tells your story authentically. As your wedding photographer, my goal is to preserve the story of your day in a way that feels true to you. I strive to create a relaxed and comfortable environment, so your personalities can shine through in every frame. By the end of your engagement session (a key part of all my wedding packages), we’ll have built a connection that ensures your wedding photos feel natural, effortless, and genuinely reflective of your love story.

Pamela and the team at Featherlight Photos were so helpful throughout our entire wedding experience. Pamela was a calming presence and made me, a 60 year old bride, feel absolutely beautiful on my special day. They showed up early to the venue and captured so many wonderful moments that I didn't even know to ask for. The wedding party pictures were awesome, and Pamela also took some great family photos of our 5 grown children and their families, just as I had requested. Featherlight Photos truly helped make our day so special and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.
