Hi, I'm Joni! I've been photographing couples for over 10 years now and I just can't seem to get enough of it! My warm, bubbly personality always seems to keep EVERYONE in good spirits throughout the wedding day!

Jess was an absolute dream to work with - so kind and thoughtful, very clear communication, flexible, and helped us feel comfortable/relaxed at all times! She took our engagement tintype photos (gorgeous, striking, super cool) as well as our wedding photos, and I just keep looking through the album and smiling at how well the energy of the day and our love was captured! Would definitely recommend her and her work. Thanks, Jess!

  • Serves Walnut Creek, CA for additional fees

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your story in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

We love PJ, and have loved getting to know him through our wedding planning process. We now consider him a friend! When we initially started interviewing photographers, my now-husband fell in love with PJ's personality and style almost instantly (I wish I could say that is how he fell in love with me....). PJ shoots with natural lighting so beautifully and upon speaking with him over the phone...we knew he was the right fit for us. We first met PJ in person when we did our engagement shoot in September 2019. He instantly made us feel comfortable and at ease. Our photos turned our natural and were beautifully captured. He seamlessly captured our go-with-the-flow and goofy natures, love of donuts, and love of our East Bay neighborhood. Flash forward a few months....and a worldwide pandemic hits. PJ has been such a grounding force during these last few months as we changed our wedding plans again and again. PJ has been nothing but patient and accommodating for us. We finally decided on a micro-wedding in a private residence. Not going to lie, I was nervous that our photos were going to look meh-meh since our "venue" wasn't fancy. When we got our photos back, I was awe-struck. PJ really worked his magic and made everything look like it came out of a fairytale. Post-ceremony, we arranged for a golden hour newlywed shoot. Let me tell you, PJ will do ANYTHING for the shot. We climbed hills, rocks, and got into bushes. PJ is dedicated to his craft. We can't wait for PJ to come back out to shoot our postponed reception and our future family photos. We feel pretty lucky that we found a photographer we truly love and can't wait to continue to work with.

When I look back on our wedding photos I can remember how I felt in each photo. She’s SO relaxed and doesn’t make me feel awkward in front of a camera! You won’t regret it!

I am lucky; I get to do what I love for a living, have a ton of fun doing it, and meet a lot of great people along the way. It's a bonus that I get to also travel a lot for it as well. I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

I'm not here for insta-worthy moments. I'm going to capture the wind in your hair and sand on your feet. I will photograph you dancing in the pouring rain and laughing at the cake you just smashed in your partner's face. Life is messy and beautiful, joyful and sentimental. I don't believe in perfection, but I do believe in perfect for you.

Anton and Natalie were absolutely amazing to work with! I was stuck on making a wedding timeline and they took right over and sent me one to get me started! Communication leading up to the big day was frequent and helpful. On the big day, Natalie went above and beyond, holding my train, holding my drink, and stepping in and buttoning my dress when my mother wasn't able. I will forever be grateful for all of the extra things she helped with that day. The photos were excellent and had their artistic touch that makes them unique and standout photographers. They definitely have a long and successful career ahead of them.

  • Serves Walnut Creek, CA for additional fees

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rebecca was awesome beyond words and we highly recommend her. Our wedding was non-traditional and posed some unique challenges. We threw a backyard Halloween party and surprised our guests by exchanging vows at midnight. To go along with the surprise and remain incognito, Rebecca showed up in costume as an old-timey reporter with a "PRESS" marker tucked in her hatband. She pulled the ruse off flawlessly, blending in and chatting effortlessly with our friends so that she could capture those perfectly candid and special moments throughout the night. No one appeared camera shy, no one looked awkward or directed, every last portrait was of a cherished friend at their joyous best. We had been initially concerned about our lighting conditions since the event was outdoors and at night. We couldn't go too overboard with party lights, nor did we want our photographer to be milling through the crowd with a bright flash. Rebecca laid our concerns to rest well before the event, and her expertise with low-light shooting is on display in our gallery. The photos were absolutely stunning. Some of our favorites were the amazingly touching and genuine reactions of surprise when we revealed we were getting married. We could not be happier or have asked for a better photographer experience. We'll cherish these beautiful mementos for the rest of our lives and we cannot recommend Rebecca y las otras enough.

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Adam is an absolute delight to work with! We used him for our engagement and wedding photos and not only did he have us laughing the entire time, but all of the photos came out better than I could ever imagine. Adam has the perfect eye for lighting and framing. 100/10 would recommend

Hi I’m Taylor Anne! She/her! I’m a published editorial fashion and wedding photographer based out of Dallas, Texas! I knew for certain that I wanted to be a photographer on a trip to Paris with my mom in 2005. I had a small little point and shoot digital camera that I used to take photos of literally everything around the city. I got artistic with the sunset over the Seine, and caught a couple having a romantic moment on the bridge. It was then that I said to myself, “Oh, I actually kind of like this,” and began the process of photographing for the next 16 years.

We got married almost a year ago at this point and we cannot begin to describe how great working with Taylor was. She was always SO on top of everything. She is incredibly prompt with her responses and was able to answer any questions we had. Scheduling with her was a breeze (even when the weather never cooperated with us & we had to reschedule engagement photos). She used many different photography styles (digital, film, etc.). Our photos & videos turned out BEAUTIFUL! She is truly an artist!!! We adore her timeless style and eye for the finest details. She captured our day exactly how we had envisioned. We will cherish these special photos for the rest of our lives and look forward to working with Taylor again in the future!

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is AMAZING. She did our engagement photos and I cannot speak highly enough. She was so cool to work with, had a great eye for location, and was so fantastic with coordinating our forever-awkward selves to get some incredible shots. We both get very anxious on camera but she made the whole experience so safe and welcoming that we ended up having a so much fun. Her communication throughout has been absolute top tier - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way - and the end result is beyond our wildest dreams. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

I couldn't imagine doing anything else! This is truly my dream job.

Katie was the best choice ever and the most amazing wedding photographer. We couldn't have asked for better wedding photos! She was so organized and energetic day-of - all of my family members commented how great she was to work with. She made everything run very smoothly. I was able to run a million questions by her ahead of time regarding the timeline and other details, she always made herself available and was super responsive. I am absolutely obsessed with our wedding photos, she did an amazing job and I can't thank her enough!

Sufia Huq Portraits

  • Serves Walnut Creek, CA for additional fees

I’m a Sunshine State native, a Pisces, and a lover of the outdoors. Photography is my favorite way to connect with people. The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank Sufia enough, for the beautiful photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. I was so nervous to take photos, as I hate having my photo taken at all, that I delayed it for so long. Now, I wish I hadn’t! I’m just seriously blown away, Sufia made me feel like a model! And she was able to capture the love we have for one another in every photo. Not only is she obviously gifted with a talent to really capture people at their most beautiful, but she is such a wonderful person to I have to say I can’t recommend Sufia Huq Portraits highly enough. She has photographed so many important milestones for my family but she truly rose above and beyond all of my expectations as a wedding photographer. I initially hired Sufia for my engagement photos but after seeing how perfect they turned out, I knew she was the only person I could trust with my wedding! On the day of my wedding it truly felt like everything was going wrong. It was raining. I got second degree burns on my chest from a steamer. I had vendors threatening to leave and the catering company stealing my food. The ONE thing that eased the stress of that day was my incredible photographer. Despite how stressed I was, Sufia managed to bring me back into the moment and to capture timeless portraits of my wedding day with my husband, closest friends, and family. When I look back through the photos of my wedding day (which I do often because I’m obsessed), I don’t think about all of the craziness. I think about those precious moments Sufia captured for me. Sufia was more than just a photographer that day. She was a cheerleader. She was a hype woman. She was a friend. She was more than just accommodating. She was flexible. She was dependable. She was KIND. Sufia is an amazing human being with an amazing talent. A wedding day is a huge deal. Sufia Huq Portraits will not disappoint in quality or in kindness.

I’m a wedding vendor, (Someone Said Yes DJ), and have worked with Rachel twice now. She’s awesome. What’s important to me is a few things. 1 - fun to work with. It’s a serious team effort to rock a wedding. Everyone has to be positive and on point. 2 - guest interaction has to be upbeat and professional. The photographer communicates with the guests to line up the photos. This has to be done with a great attitude and with professional instruction 3 - photos have to look amazing. This is what it comes down to. I love working with Rachel and am pretty confident you and your guests will feel the same. And don’t forget, your photos will be beautiful.

We are so thankful for you! You made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing.

You truly have a talent for this! She got sneak peeks within 24 hours!!!! Also her editing skills are . I broke my foot and had surgery a month before my wedding and she took my scars off my foot and she made my photos look amazing you can’t even tell I only was able to stand on 1 leg. She is amazing!!!! I can’t say that enough!!

Hey there, I’m Eric! Originally from Nebraska, I now reside in Minneapolis with my wife, three dogs, cat, and a bunch of reptile friends. Outdoors is my passion, whether hiking, biking, climbing, or camping, rain or shine. While I love capturing weddings in the heart of the Midwest, I’m always ready to travel across the country for a unique celebration. Elopements, especially, have a special place in my heart—there’s a thrill in capturing those intimate moments, wherever they may be. I've found love in documenting portraits, especially of couples, discovering a certain magic in their connection and the uniqueness of each love story.

Eric Turner Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding. From the first time we spoke, Eric's warm and flexible communication style put us at ease. He listened thoughtfully to our vision and provided affordable packages that allowed us to get the high-quality photography we wanted without breaking the bank. On our wedding day, Eric was a natural professional who blended seamlessly into the background, capturing all the beautiful details and special moments without ever being intrusive. Even our guests who don't love having their photos taken commented on how comfortable and at ease Eric made them feel. The final photos were absolutely stunning - he has an incredible eye for detail and artistry. We couldn't be happier with the memories Eric helped us preserve from our special day.

My name is Melissa Kelly! I am a Boston Metrowest based wedding photographer! I live in Grafton, MA with my wonderful husband and my two energetic boys! Photography has been a family hobby for my entire life! My father and I have always shared a special bond over our creative and artistic side and my maternal grandfather even had a dark room IN his home! It's in my blood! I am so excited to be able to share my passion with others!

Both my engagement photos and wedding photos were taken by Melissa! Honestly, she was the best! (And it should be noted, I am picky with pictures haha) While "wedding planning" some people recommended I hire a videographer, but with Melissa's photos I didn't even need one! She captures every moment, even ones you didn't realize were being captured. It's like reliving my day every time I look at these photos. There is a lot of beauty in her editing, lighting, and angles. She gives you pose ideas too for those who are a little camera-awkward. Plus I got sooooo much positive feedback from wedding guest about how much they loved her the night of the wedding due to her amazing, fun personality, but then when they saw the outcome of the photos afterwards, everyone including my husband and I were (even more) impressed. I absolutely recommend Photography By Melissa Kelly. You will get beautiful photos and memories a genuine kind person to hang out with on your special day :) I honestly can't thank her enough, hands down!

Hey! Hello! What's happening? I'm Erika, owner and lead photographer of It Clicks Photo. I love learning about your love story, how you knew your significant other was the one, and any embarrassing stories you two have endured over time. I'm sure I have a few I feel the need to tell you about, too! I'm a very accepting, down to earth lady who values and appreciates your authentic- straight to the core- self. Capturing your wedding day fills me with life, and makes me feel all butterfly-ish and bubbly inside. Can't wait to meet you both! (PS- I love to travel! There isn't a place I won't go- honestly.)

Erika has been my favorite photographer to work with since we met a few years ago. I just love her work! As a DJ it is important to be able to work well with vendors. Especially the ones capturing the big day. It has always been very easy for me to work with Erika and her team so I recommend her every chance I get. I have noticed over the years that she is naturally a creative fun and easy going person which in my opinion is always a great quality for a wedding professional. I look forward to working with Ericka and the whole itclicks team for years to come.

Hey guys! My name is Shaya and I have been an Elopement & Wedding Photographer for about 3 years & have lived in the Orlando area for the past 8 years. I love to find new jaw-dropping places for my couples and see the beauty that this sunshine state has to offer. If I'm not editing away at my apartment, I am usually at a coffee shop catching up with friends, taking my yorkies Lily and Tripp on a long walk, or traveling trying to find a new trail to hike. I am a recent newlywed so I know exactly what you're going through with wedding planning and I am so happy to help out all of my amazing Clients as much as possible!

Shaya took my graduation photos, my wedding photos, and now my sister is looking to book both sessions with Shaya as well! Her professionalism and kindness drew me to her and has kept me coming back to her! She is a great photographer and communicator. I would definitely recommend Shaya.
