I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

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.

Having Eric as a photographer is like hanging out with an old friend. He put this camera-shy couple at ease immediately, made us laugh, and always had great suggestions for posing to help get the best results possible. He came prepared with ideas for shots and scenes, and his videography was so unobtrusive we almost didn’t remember it was happening! He is quick to respond to questions, has an amazing eye for color and composition, and is generally just a really positive presence on a day that can otherwise be pretty stressful. Don’t sleep on Eric — you’ll be so glad you hired him!

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

My wife and I were so thankful that we chose Danielle as our wedding photographer. She is highly skilled, organized, and very easy to work with. She was an invaluable resource for us throughout the wedding process. In the months leading up to our wedding, she was like a wedding planner to us, guiding us through our itinerary, answering our questions, and asking important questions to help make our big day flow as smoothly as possible. On our wedding day itself, she put us both at ease and was very flexible when we decided to make a few last-minute switches. Most importantly, she helped capture so many amazing memories with her beautiful photos. We would highly recommend Danielle and Moon Rising Photography.

I cannot say enough about Justina—she helped our wedding day run seamlessly! From the start, she was incredibly helpful and communicative, working closely with us to construct the perfect wedding day timeline. She even provided a detailed wedding guidebook and questionnaire, which helped us envision the exact vibe we wanted. On the big day, when we inevitably fell behind schedule, Justina handled it with such grace and adapted quickly. She adjusted effortlessly, stayed flexible, and kept everything moving. Even with less time for photos, she still managed to capture all the shots we had requested. Justina’s collaboration with her brother Anthony, who did our videography, was another highlight. Instead of coordinating between two separate vendors, we were able to meet with both of them together, ensuring that our wedding day vibe was beautifully reflected in both the photos and video. They both were extremely professional and helpful, in addition to providing creative ideas that helped bring our vision to life. What truly sets Justina apart is her talent and eye for candid shots that look and feel so natural. You can tell she cares deeply about the quality of her work. She got us a preview album within a week of the wedding, and my husband and I were so moved by the photos. We still cannot stop looking through them! If you want someone who will make your wedding photo dreams come true and help you feel comfortable and taken care of on our wedding day, look no further than Justina. We couldn’t be happier with our choice!

I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

McKenna and her team were absolutely amazing. I was the bride who did not want to stand around and take a million photos. When I tell you that they got in, got the job done and got us to the party, It was wham bam thank you ma’am and we got some AMAZING shots. These photos are pure artistry, I can’t believe it’s me in them. They are nothing less than spectacular and she didn’t miss a beat from the entire day.

Milieu 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Waterloo, IA for additional fees

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Salvatore (Milieu) made our wedding day even more special than we could have expected. We LOVED his beautiful and creative ways of capturing our most special moments (if you look at his portfolio, you will know exactly what I mean). He is so very kind, professional, and made us so comfortable. He was so accommodating and helped us come up with a way to get all of the photos we wanted within the time frame we had to work with. I can go on and on about how much we loved working with Salvatore! He is truly a 1 of a kind find and we HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him!

As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; it’s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

Where to begin?! Anna made my wedding day MAGICAL! Our photos felt like actual works of art, yet somehow were captured in such a natural way. She was the one decision I made as far as vendors go that I actually felt peace with. I had zero doubts she would make mine and my husbands day so special, and she truly did. I feel like I'm transported back into time every time I look at our photos!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

We had a great experience with Mae! She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole shoot and made sure we got a bunch of great photos in some gorgeous locations. Post-shoot she put in so much effort editing our photos to make sure they were perfect once they were turned around to us which didn't take long at all. Highly highly recommend Mae for any photoshoot needs you might have!

Welcome to our creative world! We are David and Katie, a photo and video dynamic duo from the peach state. But, we are more than just visual storytellers. We want to get to know you and build a friendship that extends beyond our lens. Our goal is to capture genuine memories that you'll cherish for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Hevesi Journal was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was reassuring, empathetic, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire process. The quality of Katie's work was truly unique, lovely, and creative - they captured all the important moments and understood the vibe of our wedding day perfectly. Katie even traveled all the way from Georgia to Vermont to join us, which we really appreciated. We are thrilled with how the photos came out. Katie has a unique style that we adored from the start. We aren't people who really love having our pictures taken and Katie was understanding of that, while also making sure we got what we wanted (even though we might not have understood that ourselves.) We highly recommend Katie to any couple seeking a talented, personable photographer for their big day.
