Hi, I'm Kristen and I'm so excited you are here! I've been a wedding photographer for 17 years with hundreds of weddings under my belt. Diversity and inclusivity are very important to me both personally and professionally, so no matter who you are I want to document your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can honestly say that we made a new friend in our photographer. We booked Kristen early in 2019 and ended up knowing her for well over a year when our wedding was moved from May to Sept. Kristen helps make the planning process easier by offering advice, helping to recommend vendors, and being a calm, cool, and collected person able to handle whatever kind of challenge your wedding throws at her. She was a key component in me staying sane during the pandemic planning process and wasn’t afraid to speak up when she thought something might not work. She came to our wedding to make sure we would have fun and to keep the day 100% about us. She is so fun and easy to be around and did not ever feel like a stranger photographing one of the most important days of our lives. Her photographs speak for themselves and all of our images are beautiful. Her style is candid, gorgeous, and natural. We never felt overly posed and the portrait process was a breeze, especially with my husband who hates his picture taken. Her talent is amazing. Having a vendor that works with your day and fits in so seamlessly goes beyond any words I could say. Book her. You won’t regret it. <3

Abigail Saalfrank Photography

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abigail was so easy and fun to work with! Our engagement pictures were quick and easy (which my husband appreciated), but also we got a ton of high quality pictures back. Abigail and her second photographer, Bailey, felt like a part of the Bridal Party on our wedding day, and they did a fantastic job keeping the pictures and our wedding timeline on schedule. We got our previews and final pictures back so quikcly, which we really appreciated. I can not recommend Abigail Saalfrank Photography enough!

I'm Emily - a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer set on capturing intimate, joyful, authentic, & emotional photos. I want you to look back on your wedding photos not just love the way they look, but I want you to remember what the moment felt like. My hope is for you to feel the way your loved one hugged you as they gave you away, to laugh as you look back at the best man giving his speech...every captured moment has a feeling. I will do my best to stop those moments in time for you to experience forever. I am witty, goofy, sarcastic, open-minded, & honest. I will be your ultimate third wheel.

Awarded Best of Zola
Em is the best photographer we could have ever asked for to capture our wedding day. She went beyond documenting our wedding beautifully, she approached the entire process so welcoming and organized that it made our job easy. With all the moving parts of wedding planning, we knew we were in good hands with Em. We went with the Topaz package which included an engagement photo shoot! I encourage couples to go this route, so on your wedding day there’s already rapport built in! I appreciated having check ins to chat vision, timeline, etc. Here’s the part where I mention we are a same-sex couple, and as such, it warms our hearts to feel so immediately accepted the way we did with Em. Inclusivity was naturally present throughout the entire process, from big things to small. By the time our wedding day rolled around Em felt like an old friend to us. When she arrived at our venue we couldn’t help but greet her with bear hugs! She guided us throughout our day and made sure OUR vision was her priority. When we had questions or requests, Em was flexible and accommodating. The way she captured our day is beyond STUNNNINNGGGG!!!!!!!!! While reviewing our gallery we teared up, laughed, and our jaws dropped multiple times! It’s difficult to find words fitting of how elated we are with the outcome. Looking at our pictures we can feel the beauty, emotions, movement, and the warmth of our day. Thanks to Em and her second shooter Kara, we will be able to relive the happiest day of our lives for years and years to come. If you are lucky enough to have Em as your photographer you are being blessed with an experienced professional who is so caring, fun, and simply outstanding at what she does. We really cannot thank you enough, Em! Thanks for sharing the special moments with us we will remember forever.

We're Dan & Tyler Photography, a husband and wife photo and videography team in Orange County, California. We've been shooting professionally for the past 10 years and have entirely fallen in love with every part of it. Our faith in Christ brought us together and truly defines who we are now and how we run this business. Our drive is to love and serve you.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not enough words to express how wonderful this husband and wife photography team is. My husband and I wanted a small, intimate ceremony for our wedding in the mountains of Yosemite. We knew we needed a special team that would be able to help make our vision come to life. We didn't want a large wedding, no fancy cake, no large celebration- the one thing we wanted to invest in was a good photographer and videographer. Honestly, Dan and Tyler were a gift from God and exceeded our wildest expectations. From our first shoot with them for our engagement photos they were immediately comforting and encouraging. My husband HATES being in photos and gets teased for his not being photogenic. However, Dan and Tyler made him feel so comfortable that he was able to relax, and everyone who knows him was shocked to see images of him actually smiling and laughing, looking very photogenic. Dan and Tyler met with us for plans on the wedding as well as for the small family reception we had later on. In total, we hired Dan and Tyler for three separate occasions, and we would hire them for one million more. The vision meeting with them was incredibly helpful. They were organized, gave us great advice and guidance, and were so warm and easy to work with. All communication with them throughout our engagement, wedding, and reception season was timely, clear, and friendly. On our wedding day weekend I was a ball of stress. It was Dan and Tyler who helped keep me calm and helped keep the wedding on schedule and organized. Honestly, I don't know how we would have done it without them. They played a critical role in our ceremony. They captured the most special moments, the most beautiful images, and the sweetest videos. I have been told the highlight video is the best many have seen. I can also say that your first moments after being married are so full of emotion, and who you share that with is very important. You'll spend those special moments with your photographer, and Dan and Tyler are exactly who you would want by you.Their presence was so peaceful, encouraging, and and calming. The same went for our reception. They helped us stay on track and ensured we captured every moment we wanted. As I said before, there are not enough words to express how wonderful this team is. I have many friends who have horror stories with photographers. With Dan and Tyler, there is only confidence and peace when engaging with them. It is so important to consider who you will trust with these moments, because these are moments you can never get back. Dan and Tyler's photography and videography is the best investment hands down that we made for our engagement, wedding, and reception. Their presence and products were worth every bit of the investment. I cannot, cannot, cannot recommend them enough. I will eternally want to thank them and give them the biggest hug for their role in the most special day of our lives. If you haven't resolved it already, hire them. You'll be forever grateful you did.

Imagine Elopements Photography

Bend, OR
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Merced, CA for additional fees

Your earth loving, sun chasing Oregon elopement photographer. My work is ever evolving but my intention is always the same: to capture the essence of who you are and create timeless photographs that will always take you back to your incredible day.

We initially planned to elope at Crater Lake, which led us to Mia and Imagine Elopements. However, as the date approached, we opted to elope at our beautiful rented property to avoid added stress. Mia was exceptional throughout the planning process. She is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also friendly, attentive, and highly responsive, going above and beyond in her follow-through. Her expertise regarding Crater Lake, including permits, trails, and requirements, was impressive. She even contacted the park on our behalf to ensure everything was in order. Mia also knows the surrounding areas well and recommends trustworthy local vendors and activities geared toward our interests. Mia truly understood our vision for a stress-free, enjoyable day with our kids in a natural setting. Her flexibility (including her willingness to officiate our ceremony as well) allowed us to experience the day our way, resulting in photos that perfectly capture all of the emotions of the day. We adore the photos and relive our special day every time we look at them!

  • Serves Merced, CA for additional fees

Hello! I’m so excited for the chance to work with you. I’m a former teacher who has always had a passion for photography. I started working freelance in 2015 and did a lot of my first jobs in the music industry! I’ve shot Warped Tour a few times and even had one of my promos featured by AP magazine. I quickly realized I loved working with couples the most, and now focus on couple and family portraits and weddings!

Awarded Best of Zola
Thalia was our photographer for our engagement shoot and for our wedding. She was the perfect person and photographer to be part of our special milestones in our relationship. I was really nervous for our engagement shoot because I'm pretty shy but she made the 2 hours feel like a blast. Her being our engagement shoot photographer also made the big day more seamless and comfortable. The day of the wedding can get hectic so having that established relationship made the day more comforting. She is super organized and very helpful with the communication leading up to our wedding day.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re wondering whether to hire Ali to photograph your wedding or other occasion, we say HIRE HER without a doubt. We hired Ali for our small wedding ceremony and reception based on a few good reviews and some sample shots we really liked. Upon a quick initial Zoom meeting, she seemed friendly and relaxed and very much like she knew what she was doing. During our planning phase, she was responsive to any question we had for her, no matter how insignificant the matter. But where she really shined was on day-of: she was so versatile and flexible, so while we were busy orchestrating and celebrating, she dashed around capturing the beauty of the evening. She gave us minimal instruction but managed to capture the perfect snapshots throughout the evening. She even ventured off with us for a vision we had of photos with the skyline in the background at the end. We’ve only received the sneak peek photos so far, but they are so gorgeous and we love them so much. Truly cannot wait to see the rest!

  • Serves Merced, CA for additional fees

Gemini Sun Creative is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer serving Northern California, NYC, Upstate NY & Philadelphia. Owner, Daniela Monzi, specializes in elopement and intimate wedding photography. With each couple she works with, she strives to show off the unique traits of their love story in every photo. Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dani photographed my tiny, 3 guest, backyard, pandemic wedding in August 2021. Despite a tiny wedding, it was important to us to have physical memories in the form of professional photos. After two other photographers fell through, stars aligned & Dani flew from New York to Wisconsin 2 weeks later. (She made it even though her flights were delayed and she ended up having to drive hours overnight to get to us!) I’m SO glad that we had a photographer, and that it was Dani! Taking photos allowed for us to have time together to let the love sink in. Dani was easy and fun to be around, and joined our gathering seamlessly. She provided gentle guidance and prompting without insisting on stiff poses, but still suggested slight adjustments and kept an eye out for uneven clothing and hair in your face. The photos are absolutely stunning, and she sent us an unexpected sneak peek of photos (87!) the day after our wedding. Those sneak peak photos alone were more than worth it!!! She was also affirming & supportive of our LGBTQ+ wedding & family, and thoughtful and skilled in photographing bodies of varying shapes & sizes.

Whether photographing baby birds or capturing the love and passion between two humans, her heart and soul are always with her behind the lens.

Awarded Best of Zola
You can't do better than the Chasing Chickadees team for your wedding photographer! Alicia was on it from the get go - by the time a set of photos needed to be taken, she already had a game plan. A lot of her ideas were personalized for us, or set up to showcase the special details that I wanted to be emphasized (in my case, mainly our beautiful outdoor venue). It was really fun doing the posed photos, and the rest of the time, I trusted Alicia to capture the day! My favorites are our posed mushy couple photos, our individual all-dressed-up photos, and the moments from the dance floor. A lot of those favorites were also captured by Keith, the second shooter - he also has a great eye and a lot of fun, creative ideas. It's clear from the finished product (and knowing how many originals there were!) that Alicia put a ton of time and care into choosing the best shots and processing them beautifully. I absolutely treasure my wedding photos and would recommend Alicia 100%!

Once the wedding rolled around we could not wait to see what magic Amber and Farmer J would give us. We can honestly say that they both captured everything and more! These photos will be cherished for the rest of our lives and will bring back the magic of this special day every time we look at them! There is no one like Amber and Farmer J and their photography truly says it all!

My name is Thomas Seabury I am a wedding photographer of 8 years, over the past 3 years shooting just over 100 weddings per year. Each wedding I take on the roll of coordinator, photographer, and personal assistant keeping the entire day running smoothly and keeping the stress of the day as far from the bride and groom as possible. I would love to be a huge part of your entire process from overall planning to execution of the day! In the off chance you're booking at a Northern CA Wedgewood venue, I have hundreds of hours of experience at each of their venues and work very closely with the everyone of the staff at Wedgewood.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wedding was in May and the weather surprised us by dumping buckets of rain during the ceremony. Thomas was so helpful with all of his direction and suggestions for the ceremony. He was able to keep his cool and roll with the punches on our very crazy day. Our Photos are absolutely stunning! I honestly can't say enough good things about him. He took so many photos and his editing is wonderful. He also did our engagement photos all the way in Yosemite. He not only drove 3 hours one way for the engagement shoot but also drove an obscene amount of hours for our wedding. He put in so much work and I can't thank him enough.

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.

Lerina was amazing. Her photography speaks for itself. She captures the natural beauty of film without the tacky editing that has become so common. She perfected this timeless look on film and digital. What really impressed me was how she hit every single photo request and was both firm in her direction but also kind. She is a true production manager as well as an incredible photographer. We're lucky to have found her.

Looking for a photographer, I looked for elegance, timeless quality pictures. After reviewing a few photographers I chose my favorite of them all, good eye photography. When requesting a quote, Ricky guided us in choosing the right package for us, within our budget and in a timely manner. Ricky sat with us and introduced himself, took time out of his day to get to know us & see if he was the perfect match. Instantly my then fiancé and I were sold. Good eye photography offered payment plans, a sit down to discuss timeline and punctuality to our event. Breathe taking pictures of my husband and I, his patience and experienced showed when working with our 4 month old during our ceremony pictures. Overall, Good eye photography needs to be your top choice when looking for quality, experience and professionalism. The best in the game, enough said. Thank you, Ricky and Andrew.

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

Awarded Best of Zola
Loren was such a joy to work with as our wedding photographer. We had a range of people we were working with from caterers, wedding coordinator, etc. and she by far had the best communication and quickly aligned with what we were looking for in a photographer. She captured our day in such a beautiful and effortless way - she was present in all the special moments but we never noticed she was around. She seamlessly blended into the party and was quick to capture moments that we will remember forever. We can’t wait for another opportunity to work with Loren and highly recommend her if you are looking for a trusted and talented photographer to capture your special day. The only regret we have is not having her come to our Welcome party the day before our wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have a unique experience because I've had both Noelle & DJ! I originally booked Noelle in June or July 2022 for November 2023. We had a beautiful engagement shoot with our package in September, and got an email in November about a mix up with another couple's (who had booked before us) venue giving the wrong date, and were given the option to keep Noelle or have DJ shoot our wedding at the associate rate with an extra engagement shoot with DJ. I was super stressed about what to do as DJ was newer to NTCo at the time, but it truly *didn't matter* because the truth is, whoever you work with, you're going to get the same quality experience. From a personality standpoint, both DJ & Noelle have upbeat personalities that will put you at ease. From an administrative standpoint, various detailed surveys and timelines were put together to make sure the day ran as smoothly as possible. From a photo standpoint - pictures, regardless of the photographer, are taken in the same style and edited the same way. I haven't gotten my full wedding album back yet because it was recent, but I was very happy with both of our engagement shoots as well as our wedding sneak peaks. The bottom line is, you can see the portfolios and pricing on your own, but as someone who has been a bride working with these wonderful people, I can attest that you will have a quality experience working with NTCo!

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

I'm a Las Vegas based professional wedding photographer, working with couples from all over the world, as well as a travelling wedding photographer. Along with adoring weddings, I'm a serious hockey fan, with silver hair, and a terribly awkward smile. When I’m not photographing people, I love photographing Lego Minifigs on location, Darth Vader being a favorite (and personal hero) but I like expanding my collection of character portraits. I have a wicked sense of humor, a weakness for Rom Com’s & Spanish red wine. In my personal time I work closely with a local dog rescue, as a foster home and photographer, helping find their furever homes.

Photography was one of the most important things for my wedding as that’s what you have years later so I was VERY picky when it came to selecting a photographer. I wanted someone I could feel comfortable with that I wouldn’t be awkward around and who could help give elegant and timeless photos in a style my husband and I would like. MaddyKate delivered that. She worked with us about everything from privacy, to added shots, to what kind of feel and photos would be important. She even offered to have a second shooter there for us which was a dream come true for certain photos I had wanted. Overall I would highly recommend and would book her again for photos in the future.

I could show people the way I saw the world and to little 8 year old me, that was the coolest thing EVER.

David was amazing at our wedding! He was fun, outgoing, and made all of us, specially me, very comfortable throughout the day. David provided us a nice timeline that really helped me be less stress (I'm very picky) and he was more than willing to meet several times prior to our wedding date. I absolutely loved that he was very transparent before, on, and after our wedding and I can't say that for the rest of the vendors. I highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for an awesome photographer!

Jules is knowledgeable and does everything she can to get the perfect shot. She's amazing with children and made the kids laugh during family photos. When she sent a preview of my wedding photos I was blown away, it was everything I hoped for and more. I will be hiring her again!

We are so thankful for him and Ashley for their skill, time, and effort to make sure we loved our photos.

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Harrison Boyd Photography

San Rafael, CA
  • Classic style

  • Serves Merced, CA for additional fees

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Working with Harrison was probably the easiest part of our entire wedding. He built us a custom package for our less than normal wedding, and was super thorough in documenting our details. When we got the photos we loved how he and his second shooter were able to get lots of pictures of our family and friends, while taking some beautiful couple shots of the two of us as fresh newlyweds. You won't regret having him along for your special day!

SUGAR RUSH ! WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT 2 PEOPLE WHO CAPTURED ME AND MY HUSBANDS SPECIAL DAY SO PERFECTLY? I MET LYNDI WHEN SHE SHOT ME AND MY SISTERS SENIOR PICTURES . I LOVED THE IMAGES SO MUCH I KNEW WHO I WANTED TO SHOOT MY WEDDING ! 2 YEARS LATER I WAS ENGAGED AND ME AND JORD TALKED WITH ROB AND LYNDI AT A FAMILY MEMBERS WEDDING THEY WERE SHOOTING . WE KNEW AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH THEM THEY WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR US . IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO VIBE WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER / VIDEOGRAPHER SO YOU CAN REALLY EXPLAIN WHAT YOU WANT AND THEY CAN READ YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND PUT THAT FEELING INTO THE FINISHED PRODUCT. I FELL IN LOVE WITH ROBS WORK WHEN I SAW THE FIRST LOOK VIDEO HE HAD DONE FOR THIS FAMILY WEDDING . A FEW WEEKS LATER ME AND JORD DECIDED ‘ HEY LET’S GET MARRIED IN HAWAII CAUSE WHY NOT?! ‘ ….AND LET’S HAVE ROB AND LYNDI COME WITH US ! LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY! FROM OUR ENGAGEMENTS AND LOVE STORY VIDEO TO THE FIRST LOOK AND RECEPTION ,WE ARE IN LOVE WITH THE WAY OUR LOVE WAS CAPTURED. WE WANTED TO USE THE SAME PHOTO/VIDEO PEOPLE THROUGHOUT OUR EXPERIENCE TO ENSURE THE COVERAGE FLOWED NICELY TOGETHER . WE ALSO WANTED TO DO OUR DESTINATION WEDDING WITH PEOPLE WE TRUSTED . WE FLEW PEOPLE OUT WHO WE HAD A CONNECTION WITH, RATHER THAN FIND SOMEONE NEW ON THE ISLAND, AND WE ARE SO HAPPY WE DID IT THAT WAY! ROB AND LYNDI WERE INCREDIBLE TO WORK WITH THEY ARE SO TALENTED BUT ALSO SO FUN TO BE AROUND. THEY MAKE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED AND RECORDED A BETTER EXPERIENCE . I THINK THE BEST PART ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE WITH SUGAR RUSH IS HOW THEY PERFECTLY CAPTURED ME AND MY HUSBANDS RELATIONSHIP AND THE FEELING OF OUR WEDDING DAY. THEY TRULY GOT THE ESSENCE OF WHO WE ARE AND THAT MEANS SO MUCH ! ONE LAST THING . YOU WILL NEVER REGRET GETTING A WEDDING VIDEO DONE . EVER ! A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT VIDEO IS AND HOW MUCH YOU WILL WANT ONE AFTER THE DAY IS OVER . TO ME MY WEDDING VIDEO IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS MY PHOTOS . I GET TO RELIVE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE ANYTIME I WANT AND I CRY EVERY TIME I WATCH IT. PHOTO CAPTURES THE INDIVIDUAL MOMENTS AND VIDEO CAPTURES THE ENTIRE DAY. THEY ARE BOTH ESSENTIAL AND ROB AND LYNDI WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! WE LOVE SUGAR RUSH AND EVERYTHING THEY DO ! THANK YOU ROB AND LYNDI! LOVE, YOUR HAWAII COUPLE JOJO & LOLO

We are all here for you. All your family, your friends and I (yes, me too!) are here to honor you on your wedding day! As excited as I am to get to the dancefloor with you guys, I know a lot of planning goes into making your day special. As your photographer, I’ve been to a few weddings and am just a call or text away from any insight you might want. I approach every wedding with the same mentality, how can I tell the story of today in the most real way possible? I’ve found the best way to do that is to just be me. I allow myself to be present and listen to the stories unfold throughout the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabe did a terrific job capturing our wedding day. He is super talented and we feel so fortunate to have had him photograph our wedding. Our details changed several times with COVID and Gabe was always one step ahead, making sure he could accommodate whatever changes were made. On our wedding day Gabe went above and beyond, working behind the scenes to cultivate pictures of such treasured moments. Most of our photos were candid, which was something that was important to us and Gabe also highlights. My husband and I really valued his authenticity and communication skills. We feel like the pictures he captured truly are us and not a posed image of who we want to be pictured as. 10/10 would recommend!

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!!!
