We are a collaboration of photographers and editors bringing together unique ideas and electrifying energy. We are eager and excited to work with couples on one of the most exciting days of their lives!

We own a high end custom furniture company and needed a team to capture the beauty in the pieces that we create. We reached out to Reflect Studios because we were drawn to their natural-style photography and it has been one of the best investments that we have made. Jamie, Vanessa and Lauren, the photographers that we work with, are very professional, yet super fun and energetic. Not only do they capture amazing photographs, but they make it fun for our whole team - lots of laughs. We recommend Reflect to any and all clients that are considering.

Mariah R. Photography & Film 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA for additional fees

Light and bright, timeless photographs and videos for weddings and couples. ND, New England & CA based, available for travel. I describe myself as kind of Type A, kind of Type B. When it comes to photographing your wedding, I take a mixed approach of being a "fly on the wall" and guiding when appropriate. Lots of times my couples see their galleries and noticed things they had no clue even happened during the day. Candids and true documentary style photographs are what I strive to provide, as well as traditional photographs and poses.

If I could give Mariah more than 5 stars I would. She was absolutely amazing at my wedding and it could not have been a better day because of her. She caught so many details that I would have never seen nor caught with the craziness of being the bride on the big day. She made me feel comfortable and excited to take more pictures. She was open to any of the crazy ideas I had and handled everything with ease! I absolutely could not recommend more!

The rawness of emotion & human connection is what drew me into wedding and portrait photography. I am a storyteller and celebrater for the lighthearted and crazy in love. I focus on capturing authentic photographs that stand the test of time. My goal is to provide couples with one heck of an experience and images that can be cherished for a generations. One of my favorite facts about my style is that I created my own preset from scratch, and that each photo receives the dedicated time it takes to ensure that its final version is its best. The result is beautiful, sentimental photos that preserve meaningful and true-to-life moments.

I will AWAYS recommend Annie Lui Photography. I’ve worked with her four times over the past five years and she’s the best! First she took my A&M Ring Day pictures. Annie captures sweet moments with my family, and even though the lighting was tricky indoors, and the outside was grey and gloomy (rainy weather), she worked her magic with edits. For Graduation, Annie was the best and super patient; she recommended where we could go around main campus to get the best shots, and ideal poses! I also worked with her for a couples shoot, which had to be my favorite session. She was extremely kind and patient with me and my boyfriend, hyping us up as we were taking photos. She worked through the Texas humidity and worked her best to get all the angles possible in Tomball. I knew Immediately we had to book her when I got Married in July of 2022. She was so professional coming down for my wedding in Rio Grande City, and handled all the ceremony pictures, family portraits and couple portraits with ease. I love that she is able to put her magic touch when it comes to editing. Her style is very soft, bright and romantic. What I appreciate the most is that she puts so much time and dedication in her editing process to make every shot perfect especially for my wedding, my family and I absolutely love looking back at the pictures Annie took on my big day. Definitely worth your time and money. I can’t wait to book her for my next occasion!

Classic meets contemporary and vibrant. Although I do all types of shoots, I specialize in wedding photography and all the beauty it has to offer. I prioritize in capturing the essential moments of your wedding to give you cherished memories to look back on for a lifetime.

There are many things I can say about Michaela and 3leafphotography but the most important is how comfortable you can be around her. She is such a kind soul and she will give you the best pictures. She’s a photo wizard and I wouldn’t have anyone else do my pictures. She knows her stuff. If you are looking for someone you can instantly connect with and feel your absolute best, you can trust her to give you that.

Hey, I'm Larissa! (The tiny chick behind the camera probably bossing you around)I am a wedding, portrait and fine art photographer currently based in North-Eastern, Pennsylvania but I love to travel near and far. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I am a huge believer that laughter is a cure-all. My little Shih-Tzu, Hope, is an extension of myself and one of my favorite cuddle buddies. I am an adventurer at heart with an incurable case of wanderlust. Car rides at sunset, rainy Sundays, curling up with a book, lattes and heart-to-hearts, and soul soothing music. I'm here for it.

Turning the Page Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA for additional fees

Love is absolutely contagious. There's nothing better than the utter joy that comes out of sheer, honest love. Those little butterflies, happy tears, all of it, I can't get enough of it -- I shoot with my heart. My style is saturated & timeless. I want your photos to be just as beautiful today as they are when you share them 20 years from now. I'm constantly chasing beautiful light & those little moments that make day-to-day life extra special. I'm a stickler for details & hustle hard to capture every little, special moment. So, let's get coffee! I wanna hear all about what makes your love special.

I am a videographer who had the pleasure of working with Stacy of Turning the page photography. Sometimes it can be difficult as a videographer to get the results you want when the photographer needs their time with the client as well. Stacy was kind enough to direct a lot of motion-based shots while taking photos. I hardly had to give any direction because Stacy directed her shots with a lot of motion. I got to see the results of her photos too. The results were of the highest quality I would want on my wedding day. It was a pleasure to work with her.
