Connie Leal Photography

5.0

Brentwood, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,200

My name is Connie and I have been shooting weddings and portraits for over 15years. The goal for me is to give my client an heirloom of their wedding day to pass down to generations to come. As a young kid, I remember staring at my parents black and white wedding photos for a long time. It captivated me. I am very lucky to have those memories and that is what I want for my clients. I love capturing beautiful imagery through posing, beautiful light and when there isn't light, I like to create it. I can be a goof ball capturing the unexpected filled laughter. Come look at my work, and hopefully we can connect.

Connie Leal Photography was so great to work with to create lasting lifetime memories for our son's wedding in July. Her expertise and professionalism was a great relief and blessing. She and her staff created an atmosphere of confidence that made us all relax the day of the wedding. We were confident that she would get "the shot" and she definitely got more that "the shot". The amount of memories that she was able to capture exceed expectations. When meeting with her, she was able to entertain and answer all our questions and gave great suggestions. The day of the event, she and her second photographer worked in the background giving the bride and groom the ease of being in the moment. We just received our parents album and it is so wonderful and beautifully put together. Just know that there will be hard choices to make to narrow down all the great pictures that were captured into an album. Over all, the services provided and the work product were delivered at a very reasonable price. She was also able to recommend a videographer that worked seamlessly with her and her team. I highly recommend Connie Leal and her services! Thanks again for capturing those once in a lifetime moments.

Suisun City, CA

  • Starts at $3,500

Welcome. "I BELIEVE...connection matters. Photos tell our story and carry our legacy. Melanin matters on camera. Every human deserves to be seen. 8 out of 10 humans say they feel awkward in front of the camera; Laughter is the antidote." ​ It is my loud passion to capture the personality of relationship...within couples, families, communities, and even organizations. And I have been this way since I was a kid. With my hot pink camera in tow, 8-year old me would capture the loud joy of my BIG extended family. Little did I know...they were my training ground in photography. And I am happy to say that my approach to photography hasn't changed.

Working with Brandi and her team has been an absolute pleasure! We've collaborated on five events together, and each time has been an effortless and seamless experience. When I popped the question about her availability for my own wedding, her enthusiastic response sealed the deal. From the moment my wife met Brandi over Zoom, she knew we had found our perfect match. Her warmth and professionalism shone through, and it was evident that she was not just a talented photographer but also someone with whom we could easily connect. Our wedding day was captured beautifully, with every moment immortalized in stunning photographs that we will cherish forever. Such was the impact of Brandi's work that we didn't hesitate to book her again for my wife's birthday celebration in November 2023. Once more, she delivered beyond our expectations, capturing the essence of the occasion flawlessly. If you're in search of a photographer who not only has an eye for detail but also possesses a wonderful personality, look no further than Brandi. She's attentive, creative, and a joy to work with. Trust me, hiring Brandi will be one of the best decisions you make for your special day!

Offbeat Photography with a Narrative Twist. I've been having fun photographing weddings for over 18 years. I find the excitement, nervousness, love, and joy inspiring to create great photographs that tell a story. I have been in love with photography since I've been a kid. Since then I have photographed actors, film directors, authors, and some very unique characters that have informed my perspective on life.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Pat to do photographs for our wedding in 2016 - which was an informal event in our back garden in San Francisco with our family and friends on a glorious July day. Pat was lovely to work with. We only needed to chat a few times beforehand. And then on the day, she was a discreet, low-key presence - but somehow managed to capture us, our family, and friends in a joyous celebration.

My passion is capturing authentic moments, finding beautiful light, and creating images that tell your story. I work in digital but also love the art of film photography, and I've been photographing weddings for 15 years. I am based in the San Francisco Bay Area and I love the diversity of weddings I am so fortunate to document. I love to travel and I also photograph destination weddings. When I’m not out snapping photos, I love to work in my garden, cook, and play with our young goldendoodle.

Sonya was amazing, she photographed our engagement and our Indian wedding ceremony. Even without being totally familiar with the parts of the ceremony, she captured all the pivotal moments beautifully. she is very intuitive and made us feel very comfortable. We loved the slide show she put together with the photos from our day, and sent it to our families who watch it on repeat. We can't recommend her enough, she is not only artistic, but a really nice person which made it so much easier. She was also able to keep our rowdy families in-line for the group photos.

Alameda, CA
  • Editorial style

Radostina (rhymes with “patina”) was born and raised in the coastal town of Varna, Bulgaria. After finishing her Master’s in Arts, she moved to the Czech Republic, where she began her career in graphic design, styling, and art direction. It was there, in the middle of her Czech adventure, that the passion for film photography was born. Now, an award-winning fine art wedding photographer, Radostina resides in San Francisco, with her husband Martin and their English bulldog, Fuji.

We are so happy that we chose Radostina to capture our special moment. Everything was smooth and contributed to the overall experience - from the initial contact to photographing the event to delivering the stunning photos. Radostina's attention for detail is second to none and her taste is impeccable, she gave us great ideas before and during the event on how to capture every moment in a way that we can preserve our memories. The colors, the captured light and the emotions on the pictures are just mesmerizing, probably because it was captured on film. We'd love to have Radostina capture another special moment for us in the future.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

My approach to wedding photography is one part editorial and one part sentimental candids. I want to capture all the details you have chosen to have on your wedding day and all the guests you have invited to share this moment. You will have a fun & joyful experience and receive natural-looking, artful photos that look like they belong in a magazine. My edit is a bright, true-to-color crisp edit. I care deeply about skin tones looking true to life, and my edit is centered around that.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley was a dream wedding photographer from start to finish. Before the wedding we chatted many times & she was easy to work with, professional, genuinely nice, & gave great advice for the whole process. She created a detailed timeline and went through it with us prior to the wedding and it was exactly what we wanted. On the actual wedding day Ashley made everything so stress free. Pictures went so quickly and were so easy with her guiding everything. She has a GREAT eye for detail and makes sure the pictures are perfect. She also learned many people’s names from the wedding party which speaks to her professionalism & how much she cares about her clients. There were no awkward moments when taking pictures and she managed a large group of people & kids with ease! We got a sneak peek of almost 40 picture by the next day and they were absolutely perfect. Every single picture!! I would use Ashley for any pictures I need in the future & would recommend her to anyone everyone.

Our wedding at Wave Hill, Bronx, was a total dream, and a massive shoutout goes to Daria for capturing all the magic of our day. Daria's style is like a blend of real-life moments and fashion flair, and our wedding photos could've easily graced any bridal magazine. She or her assistant - Connor, were like flies on the wall! I was impressed that they were always nearby, but blending perfectly with the guests! She was always super professional, always on time, and kept us calm amidst all the wedding chaos. (And we had a very chaotic day, from missing a cake for a cake cut to me (bride) breaking a heel on my shoes) She's got this incredible eye for capturing raw emotions and tiny details that would've otherwise gone unnoticed. Looking at our photos, it's like we're reliving the entire day. During the portrait sessions, Daria worked her magic, giving us tips that made us look and feel like Hollywood stars.

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alana and I connected over Instagram shortly after Nick and I got engaged. Over the course of a year, I fell more in love with her shot style, her colors, and just about everything she posted. She and I messaged, liked, and commented so it was nice having as much of a connection as people can have through Instagram before booking. When we decided to book she helped so much with ideas for outfits, time of day, and locations to shoot as well!! When we scheduled our engagement shoot, it worked perfectly to where she could come to our location while she was in Cinci. Day of the shoot, anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong BUT Alana handled everything with such flexibility and ease. We were able to get shots before and after the torrential downpour that forced us to change locations and WE ARE IN LOVE with the photos. I seriously can’t say enough amazing things about her. She makes us even more excited for our wedding just through looking at our engagement photos and the photos she shares on her blog/website/Instagram. Long story short: book her. She’s your girl for all things wedding ❤️❤️

Eli Holmes Photo + Film

2.0

Block Island, RI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Castro Valley, CA

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

Amber’s ability to capture the honest, meaningful and organic emotions of the day makes her one of the most sought after wedding photographers. She has spent years crafting a unique one of a kind experience for her clients with a combination of digital and film images. Her signature photography style is best described as chic, timeless and natural. She believes a wedding day should be documented through the eyes and heart of her clients, capturing the fleeting moments that they never want to forget.

Amber made me feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Taking pictures with her felt so natural, just like she was there to really capture the day rather than us constantly posing, which I really appreciate. I was absolutely stunned when we got our gallery back. The care that Amber puts into composing the perfect image speaks for itself when you see the final product. There was no detail missing and i’m so glad we have these to look back on for the rest of our lives. I recommend Amber to all my newly engaged friends because the experience is unparalleled - she is the best!

I asked for Julio to capture the party and everyone having a great time and he did just that. It is so fun to look back on the photos and feel like I'm there again :) He was very easy to coordinate with and overall a delight to work with. My sister-in-law ended up having Julio come to her vow renewal and was also amazed at how all of the photos turned out. He is basically part of the family at this point!

Welcome! With over a decade of experience, I've had the privilege of capturing beautiful moments at weddings and events across the country. I approach each celebration with dedication, aiming to not only take photographs as they unfold in front of me, but also create an enjoyable experience for you. My photography style combines photojournalism and elegant portraiture to produce images that genuinely reflect the personal details, emotions, and uniqueness of your special occasion.

Catherine is extremely professional and talented and our whole experience was a breeze from start to finish. We felt completely comfortable with her and she put our minds at ease from day one. Nothing felt unnatural. We are so happy with the end results! Beautifully presented and everything we ever wanted.

Photography is deeply embedded in my past. Over 30 years ago, my family and I came to the United States from the former Soviet Union, where my grandfather had been a professional portrait photographer for over 50 years. I bring positive energy, and connect with and delight your guests and vendors. I have photographed in destinations as distant as India, Paris, London, Aspen, Mexico, New York, Los Angeles, North Carolina, even a wedding on a cruise ship! But, San Francisco is the city I know like the back of my hand – a city that I believe is the best photo studio in the world. I am an expert San Francisco City Hall wedding photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sasha is an excellent, exceptional, outstanding photographer. He is also very professional. When I was researching photographers for our wedding, Sasha took the time to explain what he would do and how he would do it. He explained the difference between his packages so we could make an educated decision. He has done everything he said he would even with a 2 year delay because of Covid. At all 3 photo shoots Sasha put us at ease, was funny, and wonderful to work with. At our 2 events, Sasha was not intrusive and took all the pictures we requested, plus many, many more based on the event, environment, and setting. The final pictures are vibrant, beautiful and a wonderful reminder of our fabulous wedding and celebration! I highly recommend Sasha. You will not be disappointed.

I’m a San Francisco wedding photographer with a style that combines emotion and photojournalism to create beautiful and intimate wedding photos. My focus is on seamless storytelling that highlights beauty and brings the spirit of the event into every detail. I’m inspired by connection and absolutely love photographing weddings. My style is modern, romantic, and authentic. The moments captured are candid using editorial and documentary techniques. I have an eye for charm, humor, and the little things that make someone look drop dead gorgeous. I capture you in your best light and bring you back to these magic moments for years to come.

I am so freaking glad we worked with Tiana. Not only are the final products of what she creates absolutely magnificent, she has such a calm, caring and professional demeanor that really helps in the moment. I worked with her first for my wedding, and I am so glad I did. She was really able to capture the magic of the moment, and I am utterly obsessed with the photos! She had great suggestions when I needed them on how to pose and what to do (which helps me so much b/c I can feel so awkward in front of the camera!). She gently but firmly helped us stay on schedule for our sunset portraits, which I appreciated b/c I would have forgotten or skipped it if up to me. I also then worked with her for a portrait session with my housemates, and this is really significant, because I’ve never really done a full shoot like this before (aside from the wedding) and she was amazing to work with on that as well. Tiana was able to capture the dynamics and sweetness between us, and again, that sweet, calm, and fun demeanor of hers really put us all at ease that showed in the photos. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate! She’s worth it.

You’re trying to see which one will capture the most beautiful photos, which one will best fit your personality, will they be able to capture those candid memories, & of course, will they fit in my budget?

Holly D has taken photos of all my major events. She took my dating photos when my husband first asked me out to our engagements and our wedding day. Next, she was there for my son's newborn pictures to family photos, and now as a business owner, she has taken my headshots, making me look stunning and amazing as usual.

From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning.

I was raised north of San Francisco in beautiful West Sonoma County. My wife and I moved back home after living in Oakland for a number of years, and are now raising our daughter in the home my wife grew up in - it's magical. I love finding new places to photograph in Sonoma County and beyond, and I love making new memories in the familiar places I know so well. Weddings make me giddy, and I can't get enough of that feeling. Besides photographing weddings and spending time with my family, I'm also a lecturer in photography at CSU East Bay. Teaching what I love is a true gift, and I'm grateful for this opportunity to share with my students.

Hire Zack!! Best decision I made throughout the wedding planning process. He shot our engagement shoot entirely on film, and our wedding on film and digital. He perfectly captured the vibe of the wedding. I knew he would deliver, but now being in receipt of these photos, I am in awe. He was able to capture the intimate, quiet moments, alongside the celebratory, lively moments. I loved the portraits he took of our friends and family (during the ceremony, listening to speeches, etc.), and the shots from the cocktail hour mingling and late night dancing. You can really feel the energy and love in his photos. Our wedding ended up running late (surprise), and we only had an hour to dance. Zack's contracted time ended before the dancing even started. He checked in with me, told me he was going to stay to capture the dancing, and head out after. This speaks volumes!! He is so thoughtful and just an all around great guy. The day of the wedding felt like a blur - a warm glow of love. Zack's photographs allow me to revisit this day with such clear, joyful memories, and I'm forever grateful.

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (over 2 years after my engagement photos were taken) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Betsy all the love and praise she deserves. Betsy photographed our engagement photos and would have done our wedding as well if she wasn’t already booked. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Betsy previously and she was always so fun, easy to work with and matched my energy on every level! She gets so excited when she knows she is ‘getting the shot’ that you can’t help but get excited too. I had a very specific vision for our engagement photos and she was 100% on board to make it happen. I love the photos so much and will treasure them forever as they document a very exciting time in our lives. I absolutely love working with Betsy and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

When I first reached out to Alexandra after seeing her dramatic photography that looked like it had been ripped out of a magazine, she responded promptly with so much enthusiasm that choosing her was a no brainer. She didn’t balk when our original plans for a big wedding turned into an elopement, or when those plans turned into a micro wedding(we eloped in Paris but had a small backyard family ceremony). And though I was completely all over the place planning two weddings and dealing with some personal issues, she always stayed on top of communication even when I didn’t. She wore the CUTEST pink jumpsuit on our big day and had such infectious energy that kept me calm and excited even as it felt like things were not going as planned. And the photos! I longed for editorial style photography and she delivered that and more. I’m sure it’s normal for a bride to look at her wedding photos all the time, but the way I look at my own photos (plus Alexandra’s other beautiful weddings) borders obsession! I am in awe of how she amazingly captures love and how my love was immortalized through her lens. Not a day goes by where I’m not forever grateful that I came across her work, that she loved what my husband and I wrote about enjoying wrestling and Tenacious D, and that she gave us the most gorgeous representation of our special day.

She was super helpful in picking a location and time that worked best for our needs and style as a couple.

Hi! Congratulations on your engagement! I'm Arielle and I want to photograph your wedding! I'm a fun loving lady that's totally in love with love. I have like 20 years of experience with a camera in my hand, and 6 years since I started shooting weddings full time. Rain or shine we're going to have the best day ever if you choose me to shoot your wedding.

I can't wait to meet you!

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

I have to say that Jennifer and her assistant will forever be our Wedding Day Heroes. They arrived on time, they were professional from start to finish, and so kind to me and my family. I'm pretty sure they overheard my wedding day meltdown (I hope not) but they kept on pushing and made the whole day feel special. We didn't have a wedding party and I totally forgot about bustling my gown so Jennifer and her assistant got down on their hands and knees in the blistering heat in the Garden of my ceremony site and bustled my 15 button bustle. #weddinddayheros! At the reception they sat amongst our friends and family and fit right in. It was awesome. Their presence was so seamless, they are so genuine. If you feel like you might need a wedding day hero Jennifer and Captured Couture is definitely the way to go. She was able to provide us with a site with specific pictures of our choosing to share with out guest via a secure link. Our pictures came out beautifully. The album and metal prints we also gorgeous. Great quality. ENGAGEMENT SESSION/INITIAL MEETING REVIEW Jennifer is amazing. My partner and I discovered Captured Couture by looking for photographers who had done wedding at our venue (The Whitney-Detroit) and we couldn't be more excited to have Jennifer capture our wedding day. Jennifer is the best and I can't stress that enough. WE are having a small/intimate wedding and she came prepared with different packages to offer us based on what we asked for and our budget. We saw some of her work at our first meeting and her work was really good-a lot better than other work we'd seen from other photographers. My fiance, who is usually a hard sell, was sold on having Jennifer as our wedding photographer and so was I. During the next few months we worked with Jennifer to schedule our engagement session. We are very busy, and the weather was not working with us but luckily Jennifer was very accommodating. Our engagement shoot went off without a hitch. My partner and I are kind of camera shy but Jennifer made us feel like naturals and our pictures came out great. Before we left the shoot she showed us one of the pictures and we were in amazed at how incredible the picture looked. Jennifer is the BOMB.COM

Liza perfectly captured on the outside what we felt on the inside. Our 900 photos reflect the awesome spirit we felt - and all our friends and family felt - on that incredible day. I now have more than 900 pieces of top-notch photographic evidence of what was the greatest day of my life! Looking at them again, I get to relive that day and share our joy with my friends and family. All of her photos are incredible, but at one point, my wife and I got on the stairs of the Eisenhower House and took rotating portrait photos of the four families. Each of them are like beautiful renaissance paintings. I will, honestly speaking, treasure them for the rest of my life. Thank you Liza, your photos will be the gift that keeps on giving.

Erin and Chris are the photography power couple. They did my engagement, wedding and more recently family photos. Beautiful, artistic, classic, fun- they have such an eye for getting the right angle, getting sun shining just right in the lens- they seriously have a gift for creating beautiful photos. Some of my other friends have used them too and the end quality is too notch. Just a few weeks ago a friend of mine (and one of my bridesmaids) was telling someone else about how beautiful my wedding pics were and she asked me to pull up the photos so I could show this person… It stood out in her mind even years after my wedding. Not only do you get a great product but Erin and Chris are just fun to be around too. They bring great energy and creativity to your event

She edited super quickly, was very responsive afterwards, and provided us with several sneak peaks the very next day.

Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime. So if you’re shy like me, this is for you!

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a lover of art, stories, and spark—the perfect alchemy to creating and capturing all those memory-making, magical moments. Weddings, to me, are about your unique narrative, your origin stories and your threads of connection; the ways in which you’ve woven a love through a tapestry of compassion and inspiration and all that makes you you— both as individuals and as a couple. That’s the fabric of the photo, the material I like to work with; because of this, my photos lean atmospheric and candid.

She is someone who I could see being part of my friends and family - and that made all the difference when talking with her leading up to the wedding and also having her around us every part of our wedding day. She has a wonderfully kind and patient energy, but she is also firm where she needs to be (and photographers need to be, especially when things get crazy!). Our wedding involved TONS of different locations, moving parts, people, and cultural traditions. Hannah dealt with all of it like a pro. And even though I haven't seen any of the photos yet, I'm sure they will capture it all beautifully. I have absolutely no complaints and am so excited to see her work. Thank you Hannah! 3

We were immediately drawn to Rachel Stenger's photography style and tone. We loved her slightly moody yet crisp vibe. It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots. We highly recommend working with Rachel Stenger, her work is a perfect blend of artistic and realistic. Rachel and Zeb captured moments that will continue to bring a smile to our faces as the years go by. Thank you!

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.

I hired Taylor for all of my wedding photography! Our engagement photos, Mehndi, Henna & wedding day. Not only did all of our photos come out STUNNING, she made the experience so comfortable! She just fit right in with everyone and even joined in on the dance floor! She also made sure to get all the shots I wanted! Taylor made our special day all the more special. Thank you Taylor for absolutely everything. We will definitely be hiring you again soon!

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’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.

We found Sufia through a recommendation from another Central Florida photographer, and we're so glad that we crossed paths with her! We booked her for our small wedding in March of 2021, and shortly after that booking we had engagement photos done. She had perfect recommendations for locations that would fit us, and was also so sweet and patient with our pup that we brought along for the morning too. Even in the super humid Florida weather, we had a great time doing our session and we loved the pictures- They're hanging in our house now! Once our wedding rolled around, Sufia and her partner for the day were lovely to work with- My husband and I are both pretty introverted, but they made the environment relaxing and fun. Sufia found ways to inject little pieces of our life into the final photos, which is so special to get to look back on- Even managing to get in some fun pictures with our very young nieces and nephews, which is no small feat with so many personalities in play. I loved our experiences so much, and actually booked her again just this month for some couple photos to commemorate a personal event. Of course the logistical things are important- she's prompt, professional, and the quality of her work is wonderful- but on top of that, she's simply a great individual with a warm, kind energy, and a genuine desire to gift others with memories of their most special days. If you have the opportunity to work with her, do it!
