I’m absolutely in love with Justina’s work! I’m usually very picky about photos of myself but every single photo Justina took for our engagement shoot and wedding turned out beautifully and genuinely captured the essence of our relationship. I’m so incredibly grateful we had the opportunity to work with her as her photos are stunning! In addition to being incredibly talented, she is also an absolute sweetheart to work with. My husband and I felt like we were just hanging out with a friend during our shoot which ultimately allowed for such natural photos. She truly went above and beyond during the wedding and captured the most precious moments. We were blown away by the quality and quantity of our preview wedding photos just one week after the wedding. We have already referred her to many of our friends and will continue using her for any photography needs in the future! Thank you so much, Justina!!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Washington, DC for additional fees

Jess is a wedding photographer serving couples from Los Angeles to New York City. She specializes in documenting moments with honesty and optimism to showcase her couples’ love for each other, love for their people and their love for a damn good time. “My work is bold, enduring, and honest.” With more than a decade of experience as a photographer and a background in fine art and film photography, Jess approaches each wedding with intention and a sense of novelty. She works in both digital and film mediums and her work has been featured in publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, Destination I Do and Brides.

Awarded Best of Zola
Since receiving our wedding photos from Jess, several of my friends and family members (including 2 professional photographers!) have asked me for her contact info because of how amazing her photos are!! When we started looking for a wedding photographer, we knew that we needed to find someone with a great eye for candids, who wouldn't make our pictures feel too staged, who had a fun/funky vibe like us, and who could handle wrangling my extremely large family (full of very opinionated people) for family photos, and Jess handled everything with ease! I feel so lucky that we found Jess, and I cannot recommend her more. Jess made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding day, and even gave guidance to family members who are normally awkward in photos (e.g. suggesting ways to pose to make them more comfortable). Jess went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process, checking in with us, getting to know us, and even coming to a venue walkthrough so she could get a sense of the space! I am so grateful for all of the work Jess put into our wedding, and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I rarely even like photos of myself, but I honestly am so in love with the ones that Jess took that I jump on every opportunity to whip out my phone and share them with friends!

Parallax Intellect, owned by Edwin, is a professional wedding photography and videography company based out of Tampa, FL. But also travels all over Florida and even outside of state and country. Parallax Intellect is determined to capture your day in the most perfect way, and bring back all the love and emotions every time you look at your photos and watch your film. Reach out today for a free consultation and customized package! Find us on Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube!

Edwin made our special day very magical and delivered us a film that went above and beyond what we expected. On the day of our wedding, he helped us feel comfortable and set the mood just right with his guided interview. He also provided the idea for us to write letters to each other on our Wedding Day in addition to our vows, which was very sweet and clever. Since we eloped with absolutely no guests in attendance, this was truly a perfect way to give our loved ones the feeling of being there. Edwin's film captured the euphoria we felt on that day just wondefully. I highly recommend Parallax Intellect's wedding filmography. Originally, we were honestly not sure if it was something that we were super interested in doing. But even in initial communications, Edwin was thorough, polite, and reassuring that we would have everything exactly as we wanted. It was well worth the investment, and my wife and I couldn't possibly praise his work enough for how awesome he did with everything.

Hello there new friend! My name is Jo and it is SO great to meet you! I am a wedding, elopement... and pretty much all things love- photographer based in the incredible city of Boston, Massachusetts! I'm a hopeless romantic at heart! And if there's one thing in this life that I absolutely adore, it's a GOOD love story. If I had to pick a second thing, it would be working with couples that are authentic, joyful, and unapologetically themselves. So as you can imagine, weddings and elopements are my absolute FAVORITE! Joining along on the happiest day of your life is a dream, and I adore all the moments I get to share with my couples!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Jo as our wedding photographer was the best decision! She is incredibly talented and delivered incredibly high quality, beautiful photos and captured our wedding day perfectly. We went with her 8 hour package and added a second shooter as well. Jo delivered our FULL album early and her photography style is exactly what we wanted. Jo expertly handled family photos which can be challenging, but she was organized and direct and made the experience efficient. Our guests kept commenting on how amazing she was and seeing the final album blew us away. One of our guests commented that our photos looked like they were "straight out of a Vogue wedding feature" and that's all because of Jo's eye and talent. I highly recommend working with Jo to anyone in the Boston/MA area because of her incredible talent, her professionalism and her organization throughout the day!

Krista was an absolute joy to work with! On our first introduction call, Krista provided a sample day-of-wedding timeline and we immediately knew she was the photographer we wanted to work with. Her attention to detail is impeccable and everything was thought about prior to the wedding which made the planning process and the wedding day run so smooth. Prior to the wedding, Krista took the time to get to know me and my husband which made taking pictures on the wedding day feel extremely comfortable and natural. On the wedding day, while taking pictures, we stayed on timeline and did not run late. Our wedding party and parents were so impressed with how we kept to our schedule while taking pictures. When we received our wedding photos a few weeks after the wedding, we could not stop looking at them! The lighting was perfect and the poses looked so natural. Krista and her partner did an amazing job. We highly recommend using Krista as a wedding photographer and my family will definitely be using her in the future for additional photography needs.

I’m here to capture nostalgic memories and help you remember the emotions behind the photos. I love capturing those truly candid moments.

When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my loved ones, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

I officiated a wedding in Asheville NC, and working beside her was easily accomplished. She watched as I swayed in and out of the photos for the couple so she could get the perfect shots we both knew that the couple wanted. We made eye contact and communicated through head knods knowing what was expected next. I've officiated so many weddings that it was great to have someone prepared for they knew what and when I was going to do it. Best of all, although it was a VERY cold morning, the couple threw a curve ball and asked her if they could take a trip up the Smokey Mountains for a few extra photos. Without hesitation, she said..sure! She shared photos with me and because I was officiating the wedding and sent the previews to me for MY portfolio! Great vendor to work with and a professional that I would hire for myself.

Through Lindsey's Lens Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day.

From the moment Alissa and I connected I knew she was going to be a great fit for us. She was very flexible as far as booking our engagement shoot and went above and beyond to get us all the photos we wanted, we even hung out a bit after and had a drink, she's fun!! Come wedding day I was having some issues with another vendor and Alissa was more than willing to step in and help in any way she could. Both my husband and I have very large families so when it came time for family photos she did a great job at making sure we got what we needed and moved on so that we can enjoy our time and not spend hours corralling family to get photos done. We ended up needing her to stay longer to capture our exit and she was more than willing to add more time. After just a few days we got back 50 photos for our sneak peak and were soooo in love with the way they turned out!

Kelsey Sheehan Photography was founded in 2019. I made the jump into being a professional photographer to follow my heart and work in a career path that I love! When I am not working you can find me baking with country or 90s/00s R&B blasting, sitting by the fire with my neighbors, doing yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, or hiking with my family. Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.

Where do I even start?! From the very beginning of us working with Kelsey she was very professional and accommodating. Not only is she an amazing photographer, she’s an even sweeter person. The day before the wedding for our rehearsal dinner, she came and took photos, she was so great and really was just a great fit for the numerous personalities. For THE BIG DAY, Kelsey was the calming presence I needed. Whenever she picked up on me becoming overwhelmed she was got me back to a place of peace. She took charge in such a graceful way. At the end of this experience with Kelsey and her husband I consider them family and people I will always have a special place in my heart. My wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without her there. This will absolutely not be the last time we working with Kelsey. So Kelsey, thank you for being an amazing photographer but most importantly thank you for being such a beautiful person with an even more beautiful soul and presence.

Heather is an outstanding photographer and person. We did an engagement shoot with her and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! She is very thorough and eager to capture her subjects vision. After our initial call, she scheduled another call to discuss the location of the shoot and logistics. Together, we came up with the awesome idea to shoot in a park in Queens during cherry blossom season. She told us the colors she thought would be best for us to wear based on the colors of the flowers, we were SO impressed with her knowledge and amazing attention to detail! Fast forward to the shoot, we got there a little late which was a bit stressful but Heather had an amazing attitude. I must say, this shoot was one of the most romantic moments we've had since we've been engaged. Heather asked us to look each other in the eyes and connect. We did just that! There was nothing super posey or unnatural about the shoot. She gently guided us all the way through and really heard what we were asking of her. Heather holds a special place in our hearts forever!

What can I say? Jenni is a humble and kind person. She does her best at her job. 100% professional. My husband and I had our first meeting with Jenni and we felt a match with her quickly. Afterwards we had our fall engagement pictures. We had the best pics ever ! everyone told us what beautiful pics we had, and many good comments from everyone. Jenni and her team do their best at what they do, they are very professional. My husband and I felt very comfortable and happy to have been able to do this process with her and her team. I trust on her 100%!!! Their packages are really good. My husband and I decided to do both photography and videography with them and it was the best decision. If you are looking for a photographer or videographer you have the right person here! You will not regret it! My husband and I love our pics and our friends and family told us what a great photographer we had! We can never be thankful enough for everything Jenni did for us on our special day.

Hi! I’m Annie, and I specialize in capturing the authentic, heartfelt moments of your wedding day. My approach is all about connection—I want you to feel comfortable and be fully yourselves. Whether it’s the quiet glances or the joyful celebrations, I’m here to turn your love story into timeless art. Let’s create beautiful memories that truly reflect the essence of your special day. I can’t wait to be part of your journey!

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: I could not have picked a better photographer and I truly believe that Annie would be perfect for absolutely anyone. Her energy is infectious in a way that really brings up your excitement levels but also keeps your anxiety down. My husband is very introverted and was really worried about photos, but she kept him comfortable and in his element in a way I truly don’t believe anyone else would have. As for myself, I felt beautiful and gorgeous the entire time because of her and her partner. For the work she did and the amount of effort she puts into our photos, I believe her prices are incredibly fair. If anything, she’s undercutting herself. I will absolutely be recommending Annie to anyone and everyone. Now for the longer part of the review! We got married on May 30th, 2024 and we were doing our wedding a little differently. Instead of doing private vows or doing our vows at the ceremony, we did our vows at our rehearsal dinner. That is also when we allowed friends and family to come up and say something. The reason we did this route is because my husband is introverted and not a public speaker while I am the complete opposite. He also really wanted to see my walk down the aisle as our first look instead of a private look. Me, on the other hand, wanted at least our family and close friends to witness our vows. So we compromised! On top of it being two separate days, I was very adamant that I wanted two photographers along with wanting to capture the little things, such as my grandparents holding hands or our friends doing silly things at a table. I don’t mind staged photos, but I really wanted more natural focused shots. It was surprisingly difficult to find someone who was able to both days and within our price range. When we stumbled upon Annie, it felt like fate. She was so easy to figure things out with. Instead of an engagement photo session, she was happy to do our rehearsal dinner instead. She was there for any questions I had and the forms she had us fill out were super detailed! It really helped getting our thoughts together and deciding what was most important for our wedding. The day before the wedding, she vibed so well with everyone at the rehearsal dinner. She even got perfect photos of our dogs, who are honestly like our children. The day of the wedding, Annie and her second photographer (who I’ve completely blanked on the name, my fault for taking so long to write a review!) were amazing. Every single one of our friends had compliments for them and just LOVED their energy. Annie kept me calm and collected while the second was fully invested in my husband. I don’t think the wedding would have gone as smoothly without those two. The photos I received back? Better than I could ever dream of. Truly. They got beautiful shots of my grandparents dancing, my dad talking to one of his nephews, his mom talking with his brother. Just candid shots that looked real and natural. I am unbelievably so happy with Annie and the work she put in for us. Photographs are one of the most important things for me at our wedding and she truly blew it out of the park.We thank her for all her work from the bottom of our hearts and will always cherish the memories she gave us.

He is so sweet and moves around your wedding like a guest. He talks to people around the wedding and isn't just a person with a camera. He really does a great job integrating himself into the wedding. 3. HIS PHOTOS TURN OUT STUNNING!!!!!!! You will be BLOWN away by the quality an the artistry of King.

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

I've been photographing weddings since 2009 (that's 15 years!) and I'm still not even the least bit bored. Hell, I still cry at weddings on a regular basis. Staying emotional and in the moment is what allows me to capture the moments that matter most to my couples.
