Hey there! Welcome! My name is Taylor- I am so glad you’re here! I am a documentary photographer based in the West Coast. I LIVE for capturing your love! You and your love story are anything but typical, and I strive to document that in the most candid and authentic way. My style is candid, documentary with a sprinkle of editorial. I want you to be YOURSELVES so I can help tell your true story. You've got incredible style, an amazing personality, and captivating energy that's impossible to ignore. So why should you settle for photos that don't reflect that? You deserve photos that celebrate your most alive and authentic selves!

Awarded Best of Zola
Taylor hopped on to shoot our wedding the night before after our photographer unexpectedly couldn’t make it - and boy are we lucky that she did! Her photos are beautiful, her attention to detail (I love me some detail shots!) was wonderful, and her kindness made the awkwardness of posing for pictures feel natural! She edited super quickly, was very responsive afterwards, and provided us with several sneak peaks the very next day. My husband and I are thrilled to see the finished product, we are so grateful to have worked with such a kind and flexible photographer who quite literally saved us at the last minute!

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

I am so so glad that we chose Faith to photograph our wedding! She made everything so smooth and really allowed us to enjoy our wedding to the fullest without feeling pressured to pose for the camera all night. She was there for every single important moment, planned or not, big or small, and she was able to capture the feelings of those moments so perfectly. We really feel like we’re reliving our wedding day when we look at the photos. I’m so excited to ooo and aw at these for the rest of my life!

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

Hi! I’m photographer with a strong passion for documenting love stories. I believe in allowing the natural flow and emotions ofthe day unfold on its own; capturing real unscripted moments thatcelebrate the beauty of each couple's unique love story. My ability toblend into the background, while still effortlessly capturing everyimportant moment, ensures a genuine and organic representation ofyour wedding day.I fell in love with the artistic charm of film photography that bringsa unique and nostalgic quality to your photos. And by combining that with digital imagery, I create a collection of photographs that are both captivating and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiba removed any stress I had about photos as a nervous bride who did not feel confident or comfortable being in front of a camera all day. She spent time getting to know us and made sure we were able to capture amazing, memorable photos, without losing sight of the actual point of the day and party we were there to enjoy. Multiple times she seamlessly adapted our shot plan on-the-fly to let us have more time to be with guests or have a moment to ourselves when she sensed we needed it. ALSO she was a baby whisperer with our flower girl and turned frowns into smiles and I'm still not sure how she did that. Highly recommend Hiba!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: she is talented, professional & kind very helpful as someone with limited mobility. Tessa & her team photographed & recorded my wedding last weekend, and they were a dream to work with. I am chronically ill & so I knew on my wedding day I could not be running around to different locations for photos, and Tessa was extremely mindful of that fact & made sure to work within the parameters of what was doable for me. I was worried my limited mobility would mean my photos would be a little boring, but she's already sent a handful of pictures over for a sneak peek & they are GORGEOUS. Tessa is a true professional but also someone who clearly loves what she does, which I think really shows in the quality of her work. Could not be more glad to have had her & her team document my special day! :)

I fell in love with photography about 15 years ago when I started travelling the world. I was always coming back home and showing my family and friends pictures that I'd taken while away from home. I used to have multiple scrapbooks with photos and small stories attached to them. My heart fell in love with photojournalism. Telling someone's story through photos is my favorite thing to do. And when it comes to weddings, I prefer to photograph everything from the very beginning all the way to the end of the day. To capture all the small details of your day and all the smiles.

We found Daria from Zola. Daria was patient with me since I had to reschedule our engagement photoshop about 3 times. I received my wedding photos way sooner than I thought and the photos were beautiful. Definitely recommended!

I truly found a love for storytelling once I got into weddings. Weddings are these multifaceted microcosms of stories and relationships that continue to keep me fascinated and excited about capturing them. I find that my style leans towards an editorial, documentary storytelling side, with hints of sophisticated moody & edgy. You feel the emotions of the moment when looking back on your photos I have captured just for you.

Jess took our HUGE family photo shoot and handled all of us with ease and made literally and truly photos to treasure. We did a family photo shoot for our parents 50th wedding anniversary October of 2023. Our first family photos in 17’ish years. She has such a particular eye for making a large group feel and look so close in photos (which is hard with 6 kids spouses and kiddos and our gramma who was 95 at the time (almost 96 now). She made each pose, move, placement fun and kept the kiddos (and pup) into it. She gave such professionalism and love into everything she did with us that day. She was as much a part of our family as anyone could be handling all of us un photogenic turkeys. If you choose anyone for your independent, business, family, engagement/wedding or otherwise photos you should definitely choose Jess 3

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out.

By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Best photographer to work with! I booked her for my engangement photos and my wedding photos and both sessions came out immaculate! Hailey was so wonderful to work with. Bright and bubbly energy and super personable. She helped with posing and provided guidance on what to do which was great especially because I don't usually take pictures and was unfamiliar with what would "look good". She will be my go to photographer for any new life events moving forward. I even blew up 4 of my photos for my living room and the quality of the pictures were so nicely done they all came out crisp even being printed out so large on a canvas.

Stephanie captured our day perfectly! Our love really shined through in every photograph. Stephanie was very fun to work with and she catered to all of our photography preferences and took all the shots we were hoping to get. It was clear she knew how to adapt to new settings, lighting, and the different personalities of our wedding party, family, and friends. Her time management was spot on and she guided us through the whole hour after the ceremony where you take most of your portraits - a time that feels super rushed and time is of the essence - but she helped us feel calm and be present. Overall, a very pleasant experience and we will treasure our wedding photographs for many years to come.

I booked Alisa Sue Photography before I even secured my venue if that tells you anything about how confident I was that I loved her photography style and vision. I was so happy to get to meet her and her husband, Wayne, on our wedding day. She was the best hypewoman and made me feel beautiful and confident in all our pictures! It also felt so natural posing for pictures with her guidance. She and Wayne were such a dream team. I also hired Snap Pic Photo Booth (owned by them as well) and we loved our backdrop and the props and the print template design! ALSO, she literally turned around some edits so fast. Literally lunchtime the day after our wedding, she had already posted a handful of edited photos from our wedding to her Instagram. How amazing is she!!!

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for an AMAZING photographer, look no further! Trying to find a photographer was something that was SO important to me on my wedding day. So when we found Chris we immediately knew we wanted to reach out. We definitely lucked out that he had our wedding date available since we were working with a smaller time frame. From the first meeting we immediately knew we didn’t want anyone else. Chris was very professional and explained everything to the last detail, while also being so cool and just fun to talk to! Our engagement shoot was so much fun and it just felt like having a longtime friend with us. We really appreciated having him be a part of this whole experience and truly wouldn’t be able to imagine it without him! From our engagement pictures to our wedding photos everything was so stunning and we can’t wait to work with him in the future! We can't stop recommending him to every couple we know!

Ashley Guice Creative is a Phoenix-based luxury wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of human connection. Since 2017, Ashley Guice has been creating stunning images that blend artistic flair with genuine emotion. With over seven years of experience in photography and a decade-long background in the arts, she brings a unique perspective to every event she covers.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Ashley! From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought our vision to life, capturing every moment beautifully. We had an unfortunate cancellation of our original venue, and with our new venue having a completely different look, Ashley was a great thought partner in scouting locations and helping us achieve the look and feel in our photos that we were going for. Despite the challenges of a venue change and the usual wedding planning craziness, Ashley remained positive, resourceful, and was also just down right fun to work with! Ashley is a true artist, dedicated to the artful execution of every detail. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or ordinary—she took the time to understand our vision and how we wanted to remember the day and then actualized it through her artistic lens. I wanted something artful, chic, and elevated but also real, candid, and documentary-style—and Ashley delivered exactly that. She was also fantastic at understanding how we wanted to be photographed throughout the day. More than anything, she made sure our enjoyment of the day was a priority over just "getting the perfect shot," which was crucial for us. We were able to enjoy every moment, and the photos capture that perfectly. Her team was amazing, too! We got to work with two of her assistant photographers, and they were just as supportive and friendly as Ashley. We would recommend AGC to any couple looking for a photography team who is dedicated to capturing the essence of your wedding in a way that feels unique, personal, and meaningful. - L & L

Hi, I’m Bryan Terschan! I’m an elopement and adventure wedding photographer based in Atlanta, Georgia. My passion in life is to cultivate meaningful relationships and let people see the beauty in themselves no matter what the world thinks. I express this passion not only through the photographs I take, but the care I take in getting to know who you are. So if you want a wedding that is going to throw tradition out the window and break all the rules, then let’s craft your unique elopement experience, one that I promise will be with you for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
Doing the elopement with Bryan was the best decision ever. We had such a great time. The communication before the elopement went great, he wanted to know more about our history and what makes us feel comfortable. At the elopement day he already knew what we were looking for, he even knew the place we choose and already knew the best spots for photos. Bryan is a nice guy and made us feel so comfortable to talk about everything, we shared our adventures what I think it creates a good connection between the photographer and the couple. The photos ended up a way better than I could ever imagine and I can't get over it or ever pick one favorite, because they are all my favorite.

LindseyK Photography specializes in capturing romance and emotion. Waiting for the sun to gleam just right through the trees, having finger on trigger awaiting that moment dad wipes a tear from his daughter's eye during their dance, or pulling the bride and groom away for some alone time during sunset to capture that forehead kiss. These are the moments... the moments of subtle, real, beautiful emotion that float through a busy wedding day easily forgotten unless captured. The importance of your bouquet broach, notes shared, jewelry worn, groomsmen toasts, ..even quirky socks, all tell the story of your day.

Her attention to detail is amazing, and she has such a creative eye. Our photos are absolutely stunning, and we’ve received so many compliments from family and friends. What we appreciated the most was how personal and invested Aireal was throughout the entire process. She genuinely cared about making us feel comfortable and our day special and worked seamlessly with our other vendors to keep everything on track. Plus, her energy and enthusiasm were so contagious throughout the day! If you’re looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond to capture your love story, Aireal is your girl.

They were so fun to work with and on the wedding day, provided great support for timeline and guidance. They even had our sneak peek pictures ready DURING our reception for guests to view— which both we & the guests were in awe of. I can’t recommend them enough!
