Kelly McDaniel was a joy to work with! Choosing a photographer for a life event as important as your wedding is a scary thing. I searched through many profiles before deciding to go with Kelly and I am so thankful that I did! Right from the start she was quick to respond and continued an open and stress-free line of communication. I never felt like she was too busy to answer any of my many questions. She met me and my now Husband in person before the wedding so we could get to know each other before hand. She offered so much great advice but also really worked with me on the ideas I had in my mind for the big day. Not only was she a delight to work with but she sent us a highlight reel of photos from the wedding just days after! The photos are breathtaking and everything we hoped for. I will definitely be using Kelly again for any important life events that I want to capture!

Lerina Winter Photo

5.0

Santa Barbara, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,750

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing of a job Lerina did photographing our wedding in November 2022. Incredibly professional, talented, and diligent, Lerina perfectly captured our special day. She worked with us ahead of time to develop our shot list, but nothing felt forced or like we had to spend oodles of time away from our guests. Loved that the package we got also came with an engagement session. I will look back on these photos for the rest of my life with joy.

A former wedding planner turned photographer, my eye for details comes second only to my heart for authentic moments of joy. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, it is my honor and my passion to create timeless imagery to tell your story. My mission is to preserve the memories of your wedding in the most extraordinary way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Leslie as our photographer was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding. Her great eye, understanding of light, and authentic desire to document love by means of photography has given us beautiful, quality images that we’ll cherish for years to come. She was awesome to collaborate with, as she took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand what details were important to us to capture. She worked with our wedding planner to ensure things would flow smoothly, including being cognizant of sticking to our timeline throughout our wedding day. She is professional and pleasant to work with, as she has a calm and friendly yet nonobtrusive demeanor that makes taking pictures with her easy (and our guests agreed as well). Choosing the right photographer is such an important wedding decision since photos are one of the few ways that valued memories are preserved, and we are so appreciative that we had Leslie as ours.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Awarded Best of Zola
Truly, I cannot express the gratitude that I have for Sarah and her team. She is kind, professional, and has the exact kind of energy everyone hopes for on their big day. I can’t recommend her enough! I wanted a candid, realistic view of the whole day, and she gave that to us with absolute ease. You won’t regret hiring Fox and Fig for a second!

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is very professional and knows exactly what he is doing. He helped me propose to my now Fiancé and helped organize the whole thing. He gave me a few good options of where to propose and we set up the date and time. He met me on time there and hid very well to where I couldn’t even find him haha. Every shot was absolutely amazing and the photos came out so beautifully. I highly recommend anyone to Rafael and promise you will never regret choosing him.

Allen Tsai

5.0

Dallas, TX
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $13,000
  • Serves Goleta, CA

Allen Tsai founded his namesake photography business in 2011, turning his passion for the art of photography and documenting poignant memories into a business. While he is based in Dallas, TX, he has covered destination weddings all over the world including Mexico, Caribbeans, Europe, and Asia. He brings a warm personality and professional spirit to his work with an airy, romantic, and dreamy aesthetic. If you’re looking for a rare balance of technical, aesthetic, and emotional skills in a photographer, you will find it in Tsai.

We are fortunate to have worked with Allen enough times to confidently recommend him as a fine art photographer (and a travel companion!). Our sessions span the entire globe; from our wedding in Los Cabos to the Sahara Desert! There is a certain essence and characteristic about Allen's work that kept us returning to his website and social media accounts. Before we knew it, Allen's portfolio ultimately became what we referenced other portfolios to which made him the obvious choice. And we can confidently say his portfolio reflects his true work. Our photos were nothing short of the quality he exemplifies across social media. Technical skills: In the business of fine art photography, we believe it is important to state that Allen is FILM PHOTOGRAPHER before he is a digital photographer. The reason we emphasize this is because we have used other "film photographers" who rely heavily on results from their digital camera and thus delivering an album high in digital shots. The albums we receive from Allen taught us to truly appreciate film photography. Allen's work has an essence of airiness. He is a master in working with light and shots are always in focus. He produces reliable and consistent results with a predictable high success rate (difficult for film photography). Other film photographers shoot a high number of shots with low yield results. Allen's style is tasteful and he pays great attention to detail. Allen also has a great relationship with the lab he uses to develop the pictures which is often overlooked. It seems like the lab has a deep understanding of Allen's aesthetics which translates well in his final product. As a wedding photographer: Allen's work ethics and level of care was much appreciated during the stressful process of planning a wedding. All of our wedding vendors mentioned how Allen is a team player and is someone they could rely on. We were confident in Allen's skills and level of work after he shot our engagement photos as part of the wedding package we booked. Not having to constantly worry about one of the most important parts of our wedding is priceless. Allen is professional, always on time, and makes sure we get caught up if we run behind on schedule. He was able to overcome unexpected obstacles and dealt with incorporative family members. Allen effectively communicated our vision to the other vendors. He is an excellent listener and fulfills all of our wants and needs. For couples looking to tie the knot locally, Allen is very familiar with all the top Dallas locations and perfect lighting depending on the time of day. People know him and are willing to take you more seriously as a client if they know you are working with him. Ultimately, all we need to say is we cannot book any other photographer. Much like his portfolio, the experience of having Allen as our photographer is the gold standard to which we compare other photographers to. It is always reassuring when pictures of our special day is still being shared and featured on social media two years later. Allen's work is truly timeless and the album service he offers does his pictures justice! We loved the array of options and how the finished product turned out.

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

CLY BY MATTHEW has evolved at year 2004 from fashion, portrait and still life photography to the wonderful world of wedding photography, which incorporates all three genres. We follow a non-intrusive photojournalistic style for your weddings, which our clients (and their guests) very much appreciate. We concentrate not only on the big picture, but also we take pride in capturing the sincere fleeting moments that evoke the senses the very essence of photography.

Where do I start…I have so many things to praise about Matthew and his team at CLY by Matthew. The search for our photographer took forever, but once I found CLY and Matthew’s work, it was essentially an instantaneous decision. I left the intro meeting/conversation 100% sure we’d hire him. His and his team’s photography is beautiful, elegant, classic, and natural – and it was so easy to work with them from a fit and personality standpoint. I’ll admit, it’s a little awkward to pose for photography! But in the months leading up, and the day of, the wedding, Matthew and his team made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Matthew is one of the kindest people ever, and his calm demeanor made everything so pleasant and easy (especially with the frantic nature of wedding planning!) We are in LOVE with the photos we got back. We still can’t even believe it’s us, and our wedding, because the CLY team captured everything so amazingly. It’s surreal! We are so lucky to have found them and worked with Matthew. I’m hoping to find an excuse in the future to work with him again for professional photography. If you’re here and in the middle of researching photographers, stop reading and contact CLY immediately. You won’t regret it, I promise you.

After 10 years of shooting I can tell you happily that I still think I somehow got away with having the best job in the world. I adore being able to photograph the moments of life that make it worth living. Weddings, birth, family, there are concentrated amounts of love in these moments and being able to give someone a way to hold on to that visually is absolutely wonderful.

If you’re getting married at the Inn of the Seventh Ray, hire Christy! She knows the venue like the back of her hand and made the whole planning process so much easier. Plus she’s friendly (some of our guests thought she was one of our friends!) and her work is gorgeous.

We refined the timeline (a lot) and she was available for questions or concerns when I had them. We had the most amazing wedding day, thanks to Tiffany, Alyssa and Brittany.

The greek myth from which the phrase “halcyon days” is derived, is one of great love ending in a time of joy and calm. A euphoric recollection of the past and an optimistic reverence for the future. Echo denotes a feeling of resonance and return. Because our memories and dreams are almost never linear-they are organic-abstracted from reality and, often, largely defined by touch, scent and, of course, sight. My hope is to create imagery that will reflect the deepest of fully felt emotion from this day, back to you. Working with analog & digital processes from Denver, Colorado.

Working with Karly and having her shoot my wedding was a wonderful experience! She was such a pleasure to work with and captured the most amazing candid photos of our special day.

Hi, I'm Jimmy! I am originally from Southern California and have grown my busines service area to Utah and Internationally over the last 15 years. I am a people person, and enjoy working closely with couples, and capturing the essence of who they are. When it comes to photographing a couple, I look past the outward appearance for the love and emotion that drives them. The personalities that are distinct to each couple make every session new and unique. I strive to create a fun and spontaneous atmosphere and a collection of images that convey each moment, and every detail in an artistic and truthful manner.

I do not believe you will ever come across a negative review about Jimmy because legit he is so beyond wonderful at his job. We had Jimmy out to do our wedding right outside of Zion National Park. I was skeptical at first when he said I did not need a second photographer because legit everyone was pushing it with a wedding my size but he did not miss a thing. He was wonderful with communication before the day of, we had a scheduled phone call to discuss the details, and legit did not have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding. I am beyond obsessed with my photos, but like if you cruise his instagram, you will understand why! Totally worth the money and then some!

It was my lucky day the day I met the Animus Art team at a bridal expo and won their free engagement photo shoot. When my (now) husband and I met with them over coffee (the way to their hearts, I found later) to talk about the shoot, I hadn't intended on choosing our wedding photographer then. We ended up loving their work so much...but more importantly, we fell in love with them as people. They have such a passion for what they do and for the people they work with, and it shows through in every conversation, every laugh, and every photo. My husband and I stayed after they left to discuss it, and we decided that day to choose them. We had lofty goals for our engagement shoot. We wanted to do a Pixar-inspired theme. I'm a perfectionist and had a vision of what I wanted. What we got was so much more. For our wedding photos...they captured moments I didn't know I needed. Some of my favorite shots are candid photos only their eyes would have seen. And once we found out we were pregnant, we immediately turned to them to not only help us capture the maternity and newborn moments, but the birth process as well. That's how close we've become with Pedro and Burcu...they were the only people we trusted to be in the room the moment our first child was born. The photographs are more than I could have hoped for, and looking at them brings tears to my eyes. They were able to capture so many emotions, and those photos are a gift I'll never be able to repay. I can't recommend them enough, and there aren't words for how much their dedication to those precious moments in our lives means to me. I can't imagine a special occasion without them...not only as photographers, but now as friends.

My approach is simple – I love to capture love, and I want to provide you with imagery that you will cherish forever. I strive to create images that are classically beautiful and romantic so that they will withstand the test of time. My work has been described as colorful, emotional, authentic, and light-filled. I want to get to know you, as connecting with my clients, learning about their personalities, and how they interact with one another translates into the imagery I create so that I am able to capture those genuine moments.

Lauren Renee Photography. Gosh. I have no idea where to start. Lauren is magic. She has a gift, and she uses it to BECOME a gift to her couples. Lauren is KIND. She sent a gift when we first booked her. She cared when we had to postpone our wedding. She offered to do an engagement session on what would have been our wedding day, and then she made what could have been a sad day such a wonderful day still worth remembering nevertheless. After postponing our wedding, we were sad. “COVID brides” seemed to have obstacle after obstacle stacked against them, but Lauren made us excited for our wedding again and so optimistic that whatever it ended up looking like would be perfect. She reminded me of that several times over the past months. Lauren was uplifting and considerate during a time when those two characteristics were impossible to find in this world. Lauren is TALENTED. Our photos were PERFECT. I could not even pick a favorite, and more so I could not get over the fact that we had this Wonder Woman of an artist to capture our big day. She is professional and extremely detail-oriented. She wants to know how you met. How he proposed. Your family members’ names. The shots you care about. All your vendors. Your style. Lauren traveled the day before my wedding to photograph all my details just because she knew I had obsessed over them for over a year. Who does that!?!?!?! No one does that. Til Lauren. She makes you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. If you don’t love the camera, she will make you. If you don’t love yourself, she will show you your most beautiful you. She did that for me, and I would recommend her with every ounce of energy in me so other brides can feel that, too. Please, do not hesitate to book Lauren. You WILL NOT regret it. Her team is also incredible and SO kind. My dress and veil were.... a lot.... and not once did they hesitate to fix it and make sure everything was perfect all day. Your wedding pictures last a lifetime and, while Lauren might think the pleasure of capturing our days is hers, trust me... the pleasure is all ours.

These are the memories you will cherish and pass down through your family, to your children, and grandchildren. The memories you will print and hang up on your walls turning your house into a home. The moments you cannot re-live, but you can re-visit with each photograph. These are the cherished memories and moments I capture for you, and your loved ones.

Candance was extremely professional throughout the entire process of hiring her for our day. I was extremely stressed out and she offered help with the location and was extremely knowledgeable when it came to when we should plan around. We always knew we wanted a small intimate moment just for us, and she made it a moment that was uninterrupted, but that we could share with those who were not there. She helped with location, and timing, and knew everything to do with when the weather-wise would work best for what we wanted. She listened to us and was extremely friendly. The session was fun, and she guided us through everything in a way that didn't make us feel like we were in a photo shoot but a fun moment of our lives that we will cherish forever. The memories we have on film will last forever and cannot thank her enough for capturing these moments for us. If you are looking for a photographer who will listen to you, treat you with respect and make your day magical, don't even look at other photographers, Candance is exceptional at what she does and will make your day perfect.

I’ve always been the girl with the camera. In high school, my idea of a good time was planning photoshoots with my friends and editing our high school yearbook. But when I got to college, I felt like I needed to get a practical degree, so I chose the most creative business major I could find – marketing. Then I met Thomas. My photo hobby became something more because he recognized my passion and encouraged me to make it a reality. He’s been my second shooter since the very first wedding.

I've been putting off writing this review because I feel like no words can fully explain the amazing experience I had with the Ganeys. I first met Emily and Thomas when I was a bridesmaid in my friends' wedding in Florida, which the Ganeys were shooting! Based on that day and the resulting photos, I knew how talented this pair was and I REALLY wanted them for my own wedding. After getting engaged, I actually reached out to Emily before we even had a venue or date booked. Once they signed on to be our wedding photographers, my (already high) expectations were totally exceeded. I loved how organized, detailed-oriented, and responsive Emily was as we planned our engagement shoot and wedding day. At the engagement shoot, they did an amazing job including our 2 golden retrievers and shooting in sub-optimal weather conditions. Emily is so kind, thoughtful, and talented as a photographer, and Thomas is the secret ingredient that makes grooms everywhere feel at ease! This husband and wife team communicates so well and I believe that is part of the reason why they make their jobs look so effortless and fun on your wedding day and why the photos are so breathtaking. We can't wait to host Emily and Thomas at our house in a few weeks, and show off the way we've displayed their photos around the house!! I would be more than happy to share my full gallery and answer questions from any other brides/grooms considering the Ganeys.

I love romance and I want to reflect that in my images. Aside from posed editorial type images, my couples do a lot of interaction with each other, allowing me to produce images that reflect true joy, love and emotions. I married my husband twice, not because we were divorced but because our first wedding was at a courthouse, and on 1st year anniversary, we renewed our vows in front of 100s of our family and friends. We have 2 beautiful daughters that keep us on our toes. And when I am not photographing weddings, I work as a nurse in the emergency room.

Jessi's talent is absolutely incredible and unmatched. Not only does she have an eye for beauty and perfect lighting, but she captures images that are genuine and breathtaking. She is very professional, very personable, and very patient which is an amazing combination for a photographer. We can't wait to use her for our pregnancy photos and family photos for years to come. Thank you Jessi!

* PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THROUGH ZOLA* Inquiries must be sent through my website. Anna Clark has been photographing weddings and portraits for over a decade. She resides in Indiana and photographs across the United States. ​ ​I capture the personal and the precious with an artistic sensibility. At my core I believe in creating imagery that celebrates profound connections, and my search is for the quietly magnificent moments. My images are full of my love for the relationships between people, lovely settings, and the varying and beautiful qualities of light. Creating heirloom imagery is my passion and joy.

Fantastic! Her professionalism and ability to understand our vision, and kindly but directly lead everyone in that vision was incredible. She was able to coordinate and manage our day and families so well. She knew how to blend in, and did not get in the way of our day, only enhanced it. Plus, the photos are better than we could have imagined. They are so warm, sweet, and capture the joy that we shared that day. Also, the photos actually look like us, not hyper edited weirdos. Highly recommend, book her EARLY!!

She is highly professional, energetic, engaging, and thoughtful of what you'd like. Photos taken day-of were well thought out so the process was smooth and added to the experience rather than distracting from it - Mia made it fun.

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Roberta is nothing short of AMAZING. The quality of her work speaks for itself, but working with her is just as impressive! She's extremely personable, so easy to work with, and makes you feel right at home in front of the camera. She really takes the time to get to know her clients to provide the shots they desire most. Not to mention she can roll with the punches! Between the location for our engagement shoot being under maintenance, to my husband never being available for meetings, to an overly windy wedding day - none of it phased her and she was more than accommodating. We received all of our photos in what felt like no time at all and the website she uses for her album design and printing is extremely user friendly! We couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture our big day and plan to continue to use her for all our future photo needs :)

I've had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember; I used it like a pocket journal of sorts and photographed constantly while growing up in Hawai'i. I fell into weddings when my dad remarried in 2013, and I remember being caught off guard by the swirl of emotions I felt standing at the edge of a new beginning. Turning those feelings into tangible memories was the only thing that made sense. I moved to New York City to refine my skillset and took a detour into the fashion industry before receiving my Bachelor's in photography from NYU.

Awarded Best of Zola
Without a doubt, Natalie was the best 'purchase' of our wedding. We hummed and hawwed for months about whether or not to get a photographer - everyone has an iPhone right? They take pretty good shots. And a photographer makes up a significant portion of the budget. We were so very wrong on all counts. Every time I look through both our engagement shoot, and our wedding, I get teary. She has managed to capture the very essence of us, our emotions, our personalities and all of the special moments that made up the day. In the end we asked everyone to put away their phones and let Natalie and her amazing co-pilot husband Conor, do their work. Which they did beautifully. Natalie is an NYU trained photographer - her photographs are a mixture of fine art, portrait and breathtaking scenic shots. There's no WAY you can capture the heart of a day without a professional, and even some of those don't manage to get it right. Natalie does it all with a laugh, a smile, and an ability to make everyone feel at ease. Nearly every one of our guests commented on how much they liked our photographer - she made them feel at ease and was never intrusive or rude, like many photographers can be to guests. On this point, it was also important to us that we got shots of everyone having fun at the wedding - we didn't want to end up with 800 photos of just the two of us, like so many portfolio wedding albums we saw. Natalie and Conor made sure that they covered everything - we have photos of all of our loved ones enjoying themselves. We love it! Finally, in terms of support, Natalie is incredibly responsive, able to work to both a timeline and a direction, and her edits are speedy and beautiful. We made a life-long friend in Natalie and know that we will be hiring her again to capture all of life's most important moments. We cannot thank, or recommend her enough. Now, stop debating and get in touch with her! It'll be the best and easiest wedding decision you've made.

Love knows no bounds. Every person is deserving of love and deserving of having it captured perfectly. I believe in equality. I believe in living simply and loving deeply. I believe that dogs are the best travel buddies and that plants make the world better and prettier. I believe that perfectly planned photos are awesome, but so is the candid photo of your 90 year old grandmother drinking whiskey with your friends. Your photos are about you, not me. I won't tell you what to do or how to live your best day. What I will tell you is where the best light is, what to expect during your wedding and always get your "good side."
