Justin McCallum Photography

5.0

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Monterey Park, CA

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was the first vendor we booked after choosing our venue, and we could not have made a better choice for our wedding. From our initial consultation meeting (over drinks at a low key bar) I knew that Justin was the photographer we needed. My husband and I both instantly felt comfortable with him which was incredibly important to us as people who are not particularly excited about having our pictures taken. Justin worked hard to ensure he knew our vision for the day, asked about any insecurities we had about being photographed, and made sure to find out how he could help us feel calm the day of. I had NO idea how important that last part would be until the day of when I was suddenly feeling like an ultra-stressed bridezilla. Every time I panicked about timing or something potentially going wrong Justin was a calm voice of reason, ensuring me everything was on track and working with our families to make sure everyone was where they needed to be. Whenever anyone asks what the best part of the wedding was, we tell them it was the 30 minutes we spent walking around our venue neighborhood with Justin. It was the calmest and happiest we felt all day. In addition to being a phenomanal person to work with, Justin’s work product is truly amazing. I don’t think of myself as particularly photogenic, but Justin made me feel like a model in our engagement and wedding photos. I don’t know how he did it, but he captured the exact vibe of our relationship and your wedding. Our families can’t stop sharing the photos, and I am always waiting for another excuse to share one. If you want a professional, hilarious, insanely talented photographer for your event you cannot go wrong with Justin.

As somebody with a lifelong passion for photography, Sophia has over half a decade of experience in the wedding industry and loves capturing organic, romantic and unscripted moments during weddings and elopements.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Sophia was amazing! My husband and I were living in 2 different states when we got married and our wedding was held in a location several hours away from the both of us. Sophia was so accommodating in planning our big day even though we couldn’t meet in person due to our circumstances. She even went to our wedding venue location months before our wedding to spot good places to take photos. When we requested a second photographer, she was so quick and helpful in accommodating this need. She was so organized and ask for detailed information before the big day and this made sure everything ran smoothly and we got all the photos we wanted! We were really big on having someone to capture the joy of our big day and that’s exactly what Sophia did! When we saw all out photos it was incredible to see all the fun she captured from our guests and ourselves! She was also super quick to return all of our photos and there over 1000 photos to look at! Even after the wedding, Sophia went out of her way to ask me if she could submit photos to be published in a magazine. Because of her great skills one of our wedding photos was published in the Baltimore Weddings review! Sophia was great and I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who makes the day stress-free and captures the most authentic and joyful moments!

  • Serves Monterey Park, CA

We are a wedding + elopement duo serving the Nashville area + some other special places that make us happy. We can’t wait to meet you! We started capturing weddings through covid when we were stuck at home and needed to find some way to be creative. Savannah went to school for videography and Jon is an OG drummer turned videographer that has really enjoyed getting to create. If we aren’t celebrating you and your love story, you can find us at the beach, probably eating some yummy food, and missing our fluff ball kitty at home. We are so easy going and love to be spontaneous with our plans.

Awarded Best of Zola
Savannah and Jon did our engagement and wedding photos and we. love. them! They are super personable and professional, communication was clear and timely, and most importantly they made us feel so comfortable and special during our engagement and wedding! We wanted to include our 2 year old Goldendoodle in our engagement pictures and not only did they make it happen, but Savannah was so patient with him and got THE BEST pictures of our little family. During our wedding, Savannah and Jon captured all of the fun and special family and friend moments we wants also captured some really beautiful and artistic shots that I could never have dreamed up, but absolutely cherish having. We got sneak peaks the next day and had our fully gallery just two months after our wedding, even with our wedding being right in the middle of a busy season! I absolutely recommend Hopkins Co as your photographer. You won't regret it!

Desiree & Raul here! We are a fun-loving adorkable couple who married in 2016 and shortly thereafter realized we like hanging out with each other, we love capturing love in the form of photos, and we adore making someone's magical day as perfect as it can be. With 10 years of expertise we work hard to provide nothing short of the experience we would have wanted for ourselves. We're foodies, film lovers, animal lovers (particularly fond of dogs & Alpaca), into hikes & meeting awesome new people!

Awarded Best of Zola
Desiree and Raul are by far the best in the biz! They have captured every event of our wedding: engagement photos, engagement party, elopement wedding, and vow renewal. They learn who you are as a couple, they figure out what is most important to you, they capture all facial expressions, they also remind you to breathe. During the wedding day (which I had two), Desiree reminded me to lift my head up, she wiped my makeup so I didn’t look like I was crying, Raul cleaned my husband's shoes after we were in the rain, and Raul does the best dress flip ever!! Oh don’t let me forget the detailed photos - Desiree wanted to know everything that was sentimental to me and my husband so she could capture them. She snapped photos of special tattoos, special guests, and unique items that my family made. I will be sure to recommend them to anyone and everyone in the area, as well as continue to use them for the next big event in our lives - which we used Desiree for my maternity photos! We love Desiree and Raul!

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

So where do I start?! Lead and his team are the most professional, passionate, skilled, and accommodating photographer/videographer. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer on the most important day of our lives. They took so much time to incorporate everything we could want in our wedding photos and they even took the time to edit some multiple amazing videos with the footage. They were patient and they made us feel comfortable and supported during the night and we had a blast as well. On top of all that, he knew how to capture well our love story. His team is amazing and they provided a high quality, welcoming, amazing photography experience. I'd recommend their work for any event you'd like to capture precious moment's in! They were worth more than every cent we spent! Again, thank you so so much Ledd and team. We will treasure these photos forever.

I knew from our first message exchange that Shelby was the right choice for our us. She’s so down to Earth and was always on the same page as us. The photo shoot itself was a ton of fun, and spending that time with her was like hanging out with a friend who was also a professional photographer. I’ll also note that my wife - who tends to be a bit particular about things - left me in charge of finding the photographer, and she hasn’t stopped praising me for what a great choice I made with Shelby. This level of praise is something that almost never happens, so thank you Shelby for helping me score some points!

Kathryn Cooper Weddings

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Monterey Park, CA

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements, to hiking engagements, to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York and California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, and candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few awesomely unique shots on top of it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
I would recommend her as a photographer to anyone who wants to have pictures that will allow them to keep reliving their wedding day. She was a joy to work with, easy-going, and yet very astute to our wishes as a couple. Kathryn made our already fantastic day one that we can keep visiting for many years to come. I don’t even know where to start. I think Kathryn was fated to be our wedding photographer. Nothing else explains how well it all turned out. Whenever I look at my wedding pictures, I relive my wedding so vividly that it is unreal. The way she was able to capture our day was beyond amazing, and it’s the same sentiment expressed by anyone who has viewed our photographs, from our wedding guests, family, and friends who didn’t attend, to strangers. Simply beautiful and magical. We found her online after months of searching and talking to many other photographers. She caught our attention with her pictures first but kept it with her personality and quality of work. We were able to feel the spirit, emotion, and genuine joy in them. Her attention to details and being able to capture all of those emotions spoke to us immediately. The creativity and sense of adventure that shined through her pictures secured her role on our joyous day. Her style matched ours so well. First of all, she was so easy to work with her. At the onset, our interactions were seamless, from the first conversation on the phone to the contracting process and the delivery of our photos. I have heard so many horror stories from friends and family about their photographers and being unhappy with the outcome that I was scared that my experience would be similar. However, working with Kathryn was indeed a dream, and my photos are beyond lovely. I don’t think a day has passed when we do not look at our photos with smiles on our faces. Her pictures are clear and full of energy. So well done that you can feel the emotions, hear the music, and experience all the joys. I can’t imagine anyone else being able to capture it the way she did. She was able to get little moments in-between moments. She was omnipresent yet invisible if that makes any sense, but it’s the best I can explain it. She was there when the Bridal party was getting ready yet not in the way. She captured the ceremony in a way that you can feel the love, the sincerity of our vows, and our audience responded to it all—documented the fun of the dance party to a point where you can hear the music that went along with the moves frozen in time. We hardly felt her presence in the room, but we know she was there because we have these captured moments. If you can book her, just do it!

Newport Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Monterey Park, CA

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby was an absolute gem to work with! As a content creator who works very closely with lots photographers, I have experienced lots of other photographers who dismissed me and belittled my role and responsibilities. Abby was the complete opposite! She treated me as an equal and was extremely easy to communicate with. Instead of blocking and pushing me aside, we were able to collaborate flawlessly. If she ever needed to switch spots or have me move elsewhere, she was extremely polite and still made sure I was able to get my shot. I seriously can not wait to work with her again!!

Traveling has taught me the importance of capturing all the important - big and small - moments to look back on years later. I love capturing those truly candid moments. The kind of photos that put you right back in the moment five, ten, fifty years later. I'm a Southern California-based photographer that will travel wherever you want to document your love! I'm constantly exploring in my hiking boots with laid-back couples that want to capture genuine moments about their relationship. When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my people, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

Awarded Best of Zola
I officiated a wedding in Asheville NC, and working beside her was easily accomplished. She watched as I swayed in and out of the photos for the couple so she could get the perfect shots we both knew that the couple wanted. We made eye contact and communicated through head knods knowing what was expected next. I've officiated so many weddings that it was great to have someone prepared for they knew what and when I was going to do it. Best of all, although it was a VERY cold morning, the couple threw a curve ball and asked her if they could take a trip up the Smokey Mountains for a few extra photos. Without hesitation, she said..sure! She shared photos with me and because I was officiating the wedding and sent the previews to me for MY portfolio! Great vendor to work with and a professional that I would hire for myself.

Hi! So you’re getting married and you made it here :) First off, congratulations! Love found your heart, and this is all that matters. I’m Tiago and before being a vendor of your wedding, I want you to keep in mind that behind the camera there is a person, who is more interested in your life story, and in the history of your love to translate it into pictures. With that said, before we talk about photography, we can have a beer or a good wine and get to know each other better. If you are willing to do this and also have elegant, romantic and very natural images, it will be an honor to be part of your life by clicking on your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tiago is a fabulous photographer and person. We planned an elopement wedding in Vegas, and he met with us first to determine compatibility with his style. Then he helped set up a schedule that worked for what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he picked us up from the hotel and drove us to the Little White Chapel, drove us to multiple locations for photographs and gave us a brief tour of the art district even, then at the end of the sessions, dropped us back off in Vegas at our hotel. This is far beyond what we expected of him. His photograph style is great. He gave us directions on posing for more dramatic effects and chose great locations with nice backdrops for the photos. When we finally received the photos we were blown away at the results. I have never seen such great wedding photography. They are more like art than the stilted photos I am used to seeing from weddings. He is a very fun and nice person to talk with, and we interacted a lot during the 4 hours we spent with him. I would book him again for a photo shoot (obviously not my wedding, but for some other type of photo needs like portraits and such). He's just great. He's an artist. He's a great human being. And he cares about the people he works with. Great experience.

Russ was on the recommended list for our venue, and after checking out his portfolio we knew we had to reach out to him. After an initial consult, we chose to go with Russ. We first met Russ at our engagement shoot. We are both relatively shy and uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Russ made us feel at ease. We love our engagement photos and love our wedding photos even more. Russ was so easy to work with on the wedding day - he was on time, communicative, and helpful. He kept our family photos moving and helped organize guests for photos. Our guests even commented on how great Russ was at the wedding. He delivered a (very large) sneak peek within just a few days of the wedding. Overall, Russ is a great guy and an amazing photographer. We would highly recommend Russ to anyone looking for an engagement/wedding photographer!

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

I'm in love with taking photos and I spend all of my time working on fine-tuning my photography but also getting deeper than just taking photos. I am taking photos with the purpose now more than ever. Its been my years of experience that has helped me develop my photography into art and not just a picture taker. From the moment I meet my clients, I want to know as much as I can. Getting closer to a client really transcends into the photographs I am taking of them and their special day.

Working with Toby has been an amazing experience, we have enjoyed every session! He has so much creativity, direction, and passion for what he does behind the camera. You know he wants to get the best shot for you every time, and he will. So far we have had our engagement photos (with our dog), a session when we got our marriage license/ceremony downtown county admin building at the harbor, and soon our wedding with Toby booked. When we get our pictures back, I am in awe and amazed at his work. Seriously feel lucky to have met him. He will forever be our photographer.

Jason is incredible. He is a talented photographer and storyteller, and a great business person to boot! He is exactly who you want your friends and family to interact with your wedding day. I would highly recommend him to any person looking to capture the essence of their wedding day and of their beloved family and friends. Regarding the business perspective: my partner and I planned our wedding from afar and from the start Jason was responsive and easy to work with. I admire that he didn’t pressure us on hurrying to book the way other photographers did and he made the time to connect with us. He was also able to process photos quickly and with high quality. Regarding the photos: we purchased his engagement and wedding day package and I could not be happier and think he was priced very competitively. My partner and I had previously had engagement photos done with another vendor and their quality was not even comparable to Jason’s. Because of Jason’s photo journalistic nature and our desire to avoid a lot of staged poses Jason built a beautiful story of us and our engagement and wedding day. His photos are striking, surprising, and beautiful. He captured heartfelt moments that I did not see during our wedding, too. Our friends and family are in love with the photos that we have shared with them and we are so honored to have had Jason capture our wedding day. I cannot wait to look at these photos for years to come and relive our wedding day!

Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

We absolutely loved working with Christian, Emilio and Max at Natura Collective. To say they put us at ease is an understatement! Neither my (now) husband nor I am tremendously comfortable being the center of attention and photographs are... frankly... just that. But the Natura Collective team had such a warmth and comfort about them, we honestly had the best time with them! From the engagement session to the portraits before the event, taking pictures felt natural and even fun! During the actual wedding they were everywhere we wanted them to be without our even noticing it. And the photos we've received back are so perfect! I cannot recommend them enough! We can't wait to get the full set back in a few months! Do not hesitate, they are lovely to work with and their photos are beautiful!

Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

Pawel and I have know each other for more years than either one of us care to admit. We met the old fashion way, in a bar and have been married for 10 amazing years. In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

Leaving a review for Jenn & Pawel is one of the easiest things for us to do. They are two of the kindest most personable photographers around! Not only are they amazing photographers, they are amazing humans and you will get along with them so well.

Whenever we have a chance to work with them we always jump up and down with excitement because we know it's going to be a great day!

It feels really good to take the craft that I love so much and share it. The scope of my photography is wide but I specialize in weddings and elopements. I've been photographing weddings since 2005. I believe in vibing well with your photographer because let's be honest, your photographer will be up close and personal with you throughout your big day so it's important to choose someone whose energy you enjoy and mesh well with.

When you look back at your photos, I want you to remember the laughs, the tears, and the moments spent with your beloveds - rather than having your photo taken. It is my joy and honor to capture this momentous day of your lives. If my style aligns with what you are looking for in a wedding photographer, let's connect and create magic together!

I can't say enough good things about Mary. She had such a great energy about her during the entire wedding day. She kept me calm and distracted when things went a lil awry Mary was able to make me smile and got beautiful photos. Best decision was to hire her. Not only were the photos so amazing the turn around to getting the photos was super quick. Hire her! She even ran up and down the streets of downtown LA to get some really cool photos."

Before I even thought about a shot, they were already taking it. It didn't feel cheesy and they were so fun to work with.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am truly thrilled to be sitting here writing this amazing review for Jodee. Where do I even begin? I met Jodee while working at a wedding and her personality just blew me away. On the day of the event we were working she was all smiles and nothing but her being the sweetest person ever! When it came time to make the big decision of who I wanted to be, my wedding photographer Jodee instantly came to mind. I loved her style of photography true to color and she captures those moments you will cherish forever. As my fiance and I are officially a year out from our wedding I wanted to take our engagement photos somewhere magical. I called Jodee and let her know that we were thinking of Yosemite National Park. Jodee was nothing but excited to shoot in this location and this is when all the fun began. Let me just tell you Jodee is great at reaching out and keeping in contact with you for all your needs. When it came time to booking our reservation at Yosemite Jodee handled everything from making the reservation to finding out all info regarding parking and food and locations. This task was not easy given the circumstances currently during COVID Yosemite has changed their rules currently and it was a much different process to go to the park unlike in the past. Jodee was quick to jump on the computer and read about everything we needed to make this trip successful. She had a whole schedule that made our time there truly memorable. I can truly say that when we arrived it felt like everything was normal again and we were amongst nature and we felt free. When the big day came Jodee showed up early and scouted the area before we got there to find the best possible areas for our shoot! We had planned for one whole day of shooting till sunset and a beautiful sunrise shoot too. Jodee was game for everything! We had four outfit changes and several different locations for our photoshoot from Taft Point, Glacier Point, and El Capitan Meadow just to name a few. Each location was more magical than the other. Did I mention how easy it was to feel comfortable around Jodee too? It felt so seamless and easy we never felt like we were posed or uncomfortable she also knows the tricks to make you laugh. During that time it was so great to get to know more about here and her career and how she got started in photography. I am so grateful that I found Jodee and after our engagement shoot I am only more excited to see what magical photos she captures on our wedding day. I cannot stress enough how amazing this woman is. She will go above and beyond to make sure you’re the happiest person on your special day. Thank you Jodee from the bottom of my heart I cannot wait to book you again for all our future adventures. Can't wait for the big wedding day but I needed people to know how passionate you are about all your shoots. You truly outdid yourself! We love you, Chelsea & Colton

I have even become life long friends with some of them. I am a mother of 3 and have always loved art, and once I picked up my camera and found a way to tell others love stories, I knew I found what I was supposed to do.

We hired Michelle for our wedding and wow... where do I start?? Michelle and her assistant were INCREDIBLE! They were super friendly, thoughtful, funny, helpful and just made us feel incredible comfortable! My husband and I are shy people who do not like to be the center of attention and do not like to get our pictures taken, so we were both anxious about it. As soon as they started, we ended up actually having so much fun, laughing and having a great time getting our pictures taken! I have seen a few sneak peeks and am already in tears at how beautifully they turned out. I CANNOT wait to see how the others turned out! We will 100% be working with her again in the future!

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

My husband and I booked Jazmin for our fall wedding in the panhandle of Texas. Right from the start, she was such a joy to work with! Between our first video call to make sure we were a good fit, doing her online questionnaire (which was a lot of fun), and the call closer to the big day where Jazmin helped my coordinator and I with the photography timeline, Jazmin was helpful, cheerful, and made me feel so at ease. Booking her for our wedding was the easiest choice I’d made all year! This was our first time having professional pictures taken and we are both a bit awkward in front of the camera but we did not feel awkward with Jazmin. On our wedding day, Jazmin and her partner/second shooter were punctual, organized, and just plain fun to have around! To quote my husband; “anytime we need a photographer for anything, you know we can only work with them.” Importing Jazmin from San Francisco for our DIY Texas vineyard wedding was a no brainer for us, and we’d book her again in a heart beat!

Working with Cherlyn has been an absolute pleasure! She has taken our engagement, wedding, and family photos, which have all turned out beautifully. She communicates clearly, has incredible attention to detail, completed absolutely everything on time, and takes the most perfect photos. I continue to return to Cherlyn for any photography needs - she’s the best!

Hi, I'm Veronica, a wedding and adventure elopement photographer who's lucky enough to have documented important moments like your wedding day for the past three years. Before going full-time into this business last year, I was in a totally different field for my day job! I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering from MIT and worked as a systems engineer at Boeing until I quit to put all my time and energy into my true passion - this biz! I love using my creative and technical skills to pause the perfect moments to capture all the emotions, warmth, color, and movement that will bring back that memory in the years to come!

Veronica was our wedding photographer, and we just loved working with her! She's an absolute delight and her photos are amazing. During our engagement shoot, she was incredibly personable and had a great way of making us do these silly dynamic poses that ultimately got us laughing at ourselves. This came out as spontaneous joy-filled candids that just so purely capture how we want to remember these moments. In terms of the actual photography, she comes from an aerospace engineering background, so she has a very technical approach to her work in addition to being overall great to work with. On our actual wedding day, it felt like she blended in as part of the wedding party - she was fun to hang out with and also helped with various odds and ends while getting ready! Everything felt seamless and professional, but also felt like having an extra friend! Highly recommend Veronica - she is such a gem and we are in love with her photography.

After 10 years and over 200 weddings, I know how to fold into a large group of people, how to be there and make it feel like I'm not. I've been documenting weddings for nearly a decade and I love it even more now than when I started. My work is candid, emotional, and comfortable. I love to infuse editorial and documentary moments into my galleries, but mostly I just love to be able to photograph moments as they unfold.

It’s been a year since our wedding and I still look at the photos Melissa captured of us on a daily basis. When we were going through the painstaking process of planning and budgeting for our wedding, photos were at the top of my list in terms of their importance. Enter Melissa—we met a year and a half before our wedding day when she took our engagement photos and it was basically love at first sight. We felt so incredibly comfortable with her almost immediately and by the end of our session, we were bantering and joking around like old friends. Flash forward to our wedding day—not only did Melissa take gorgeous photos of our ceremony, first look, reception, etc, but she was a support system and that is something that is truly invaluable on one of the biggest days of your life. I can’t recommend her more.

Keith shot our wedding in early November and we could not be more thrilled with how our photos turned out! He was awesome through every step of the process - communicative, helpful, thoughtful. We were nervous about photos since neither of us loves having our photo taken. Keith was great in making us less nervous and not forcing us into any photos that felt strange. Most importantly, he truly captured the emotions we felt that day and the joy we felt in the room during our ceremony and reception. Our guests cannot stop commenting on how great the photos came out. Highly recommend working with him if you have the opportunity - you won't be disappointed!

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Adam Kent is the epitome of a wedding photography professional. His unparalleled skills behind the lens are matched only by his engaging and direct personality. Couples immediately feel at ease with him, thanks to his fun demeanor. Adam's adept communication throughout the day is crucial for navigating such significant moments amidst the excitement of friends and family. He seamlessly keeps everyone in sync and on schedule. What sets him apart is not just his amazing photography, but also his consistently impeccable frame composition. Working with Adam guarantees not only stunning visuals but also a smoothly orchestrated and joy-filled wedding day.

Hello, my name is Liv and I'm an Adventure Elopement + Destination Wedding photographer based in Colorado. I'm down for just about anything rock climbing, snowboard/skiing, hot air balloon, helicopters, ATV and sand dune riding. If you are up for a unique experience, I am here to capture it! If you want to keep it simple overlooking the mountains I am there! I'm here to tell your story no matter how minimal or adventurous it may be. Best yet, I travel to you! Traveling to new destinations with couples to their desired location is a part of what I do + love to do!

As a provider of entertainment for large events, you work with many different planners, photographers, bands, florists, etc. The quality of the event depends on the quality of the people you hire. Photographs are one thing, but what people don't see is how a photographer can set a tone or a level of comfort that carries through the event team and event. Working with Olivia on multiple jobs were some of my favorite experiences because not only were the photos exceptional, the way she guided and calmed the guests and team makes for an enjoyable experience all around. I would recommend Olivia for any event and have used Olivia as my personal photographer!

We have enough stress in our everyday lives, and I refuse to add any more of it into yours. That's why I do everything I can to make your photography experience as stress-free as possible. This means answering your emails quickly, freely sharing all of my knowledge & expertise with you, and walking alongside you throughout your entire planning process.

I've been recommending and working with Liz personally for my company's branding (I am a wedding planner) as well as with our mutual wedding couples. She is not only a talented photographer but her ability to put couples at ease in front of the lens, show true and candid emotion through her work, and her promptness in communication are some of the many highlights of working with Liz. I can easily jump into a laidback conversation as equally as we can discuss business - the kind of friend and professional you want on your wedding dream team! I have nothing but amazing things to say about Liz and her work - truly an up and coming gem!

Hey! We're Alyssa + Alec husband and wife wedding + elopement photographers. Located in Southern California serving ALL couples around the United States. We shoot with intention; for our couples not for our portfolio, creating timeless memories you can relive and relive for the years to come. We work closely with our couples to guarantee a wedding album they've always dreamt of.

We absolutely LOVED having Alyssa and her husband be our wedding photographers! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot we new we had made the right choice. Even though I truly hate being the center of attention and getting my pictures taken, Alyssa made us feel so comfortable so that we could enjoy the day and be in the moment. Leading up to the wedding, she was super responsive to all my questions and when the big day came along everything went so smoothly. Alyssa even fixed my makeup when I cried it all off after the ceremony!! We love our pictures so much. They capture the day perfectly and I don’t think anyone could have given me the simple outdoorsy/elegant summer camp vibe that I wanted except for her. I couldn’t recommend Alyssa and her husband enough!!
