Michael is amazing. He is super communicative, thorough, and organized. He provided us with a shot list of every possible picture we could think of taking (brides + mom, brides + siblings, brides + mom + siblings, etc.). It ensured that we had a formal picture with everyone that we wanted, kept us on time, and kept everyone moving efficiently. He is also just an overall great person with a cool personality.

Tara has been amazing to work with! She is the sweetest human and takes the time to understand your vision. We booked Tara for an engagement shoot and our wedding.

Angela is a Destination wedding photographer capturing timeless memories. She loves providing couples with candid images that they can look back on for a lifetime. Her passion is to connect and tell couples’ love stories through the beauty and emotion of the moments captured.

We booked Angela for our Winter Park wedding in the spring. She bared with me through changing venues/planning an entirely different wedding. Angela and I really hit it off but even if we didn’t; her work is impeccable and she is so professional. She handled my insane MIL, lifted me up, and made accommodations that she didn’t need to make. Angela is a DREAM to work with and the sweetest of sweethearts. We received our sneak peek one week out and received almost 100 photos! I recommend Angela to anyone who wants a light and airy photography style.

Welcome! My name is Maisie but I also so by my nickname, Maze! I am a professional photographer based in San Diego, California! I have been in the wedding industry for 6+ years now - I am so proud of the work I create and the connections I form. To ensure I perform at my best, I only take on around 12 weddings a year. I truly cannot wait to meet you and answer any questions you may have.

I wanted to gatekeep cause she's the best photographer in San Diego and I don't want her to get too busy for me. LOL jk but Maze is seriously a pro yet she is so personable and she felt like an extra bridesmaid, coordinator, and friend on my wedding day vs just another wedding vendor. No one could figure out how to bustle my dress but maze stepped in and literalllyyyy saved my dress. She also fixed my eyelashes when my glue was coming off and made sure my hair was perfect in the photos. A woman of MANY talents! I will forever cherish our photos. As usual they turned out amazing and I could not picked a better photographer to capture our day. I am eternally grateful for you!

Fitz Carlile Photography

Los Angeles, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Riverside, CA

The kind of work I do within the wedding photography genre is very distinct - every image stands on its own as a thoughtful composition as if from a cinematic art house film or high-end commercial/editorial shoot. My color grading is immediately identifiable and unique - developed through years of studying color theory - uncommon today in a sea of 'presets' that other photographers purchase on the internet for they have no knowledge of how to build their own. My compositions are often quirky, surprising, different. I always attempt to show a point of view that's uncommon and fascinating to the viewer.

  • Serves Riverside, CA

I have been photographing couples for nearly 10 years and have loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed following them through engagement, wedding, maternity and now family sessions. 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! Thank you Michelle for the wonderful memories! Definitely do not hesitate and hire Valley Images Photography for your next event, you will not regret it!

If it's your first time here, welcome! My name is Shannon Montgomery, and I am a California and travel photographer that specializes in traditional+timeless weddings and elopements. I am always up for a good hike, enjoy rainy overcast days, and will always stop to pet any dogs in reach!

I love seeing the beauty in things that have endured the test of time, seen across the challenges and storms, and still stand in their own kind of beauty today.

Shannon is phenomenal! As a planner, she is so easy to work with and so kind! She makes my couples feel comfortable in front of the camera and not only that, but the photos she takes are breathtaking. She is one of the kindest photographers out there with quality work to match! She will capture your day beautifully and it is always a joy to work with her.

Genuine, adventurous, emotion filled images. From oceanside to mountain top, from winery to backyard, from urban to countryside- we create timeless and beautiful images that are not only memories of your day, but also pieces of art for you to cherish.

Madison was such an amazing photographer but that only tells a part of the story. From the moment we contacted her through all the way past our wedding day, she was the best decision we made. Not only does Madison have such a calming presence, but she is full of great ideas and so comfortable to be around. We did our engagement photos and knew from the first moment, that we wanted her for our wedding as well. She was also willing to share ideas and ask questions and put us at so much ease. We were new to this process and she helped so much. Our photos came out so beautiful and could not be happier. Book her now!!!

An expert on wild and beautiful locations on the West Coast (California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii) I am a full time photographer with a passion for creating timeless and candid art about your life. I service all of Southern California, Northern California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii regularly, and will travel anywhere you want me to go to document your love!

September '23 couple here - while searching for photographers back in December '22, we really didn't know what we were looking for, that is, until we found Michelle. Her photos were the perfect marriage of whimsical, light, airy but poetic & deeply romantic at the same time. The vibe I could see on the walls of my home for years to come. She did our engagement photos in Joshua Tree, after scouting the park on her own all day one day, to make sure the location was exactly what we wanted. We trusted her vision immensely! Not only was that day a blast, the end results were seriously everything we wanted & more. Fast forward to our Wedding, September 30th, 2023. An absolute dream of a day. Michelle completely conquered that day. She was so great at directing every situation to get the perfect shots. I come from an event background, so her organizational management and eye for perfection did not go unnoticed. We are so glad we found her, & now when our family grows, I know exactly who I'm calling for family photos 3

Jazmín made our wedding day so incredibly special, capturing every detail and all the big moments as well. She is SO talented! From being willing to balance on a mossy log to get some gorgeous water pictures to making my husband and me (and our bridal party) feel so comfortable in front of a camera, Jazmín is so professional, kind, and has an eye for capturing the feeling and beauty of a place. She covered our day from beginning to end, and without her, we wouldn't have had many pictures from our day. We've never had professional photos taken of us before, and every photo Jazmín has taken of us is our favourite. We feel REALLY lucky to have had her there to capture so many moments of that day and to be able to look back on her work brings back so many happy memories. Thank you, Jazmín! (BOOK HER for your engagement shoots, your weddings, your family portraits - it'll be the BEST thing you do!).

I love freezing wedding days. I stay true to color, but add in a little warmth. I love documenting the day and getting in all the emotions. My favorite part of the entire day- grooms reaction to either his bride walking down the aisle or that first look. I'm also a sucker for dad first looks. Details are also so important, it's one of the biggest day of your lives and getting it all photographed is so very important!

Ashley is spectacular to work with! Super easy going and so fun to be around!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Awarded Best of Zola
John was our photographer for our wedding (and all wedding festivities) and captured so many special photos of my now husband and I! He truly cares about executing what your vision is. He never made me feel like I was too detail-oriented or particular, and I can definitely be overly-detailed at times! haha. He is truly committed to pleasing his clients. Not only that, but the post wedding experience of designing the layout of my wedding book has been fun instead of what could have been confusing and overwhelming. He has extreme patience and helped me create the layout for my very extensive wedding album, as well assisted in communication with an awesome leather craftsman company to design the custom cover. I feel like the wedding book is sometimes a thing that couples don’t get to, and then it never gets done, so the ease of that process made me so happy I went with John. Now my family and I will be able to cherish the wedding photos in one beautiful album to display at our house.

During our time with her, she guided us every step of the way, and made us both feel so comfortable. We will forever be grateful for the beautiful moments Kay captured of our special day. I vividly remember several candid moments during our wedding & ceremony where I thought to myself "I would love to keep a snapshot of this memory forever." When we got our photos back, I was brought to tears of joy, as Kay captured those exact candid moments and they were even more beautiful than I remembered.

I’m a destination wedding photographer who loves to travel, take photos, drink, and eat… I know, you’ve probably never heard of ANYONE else with those likes. Haha! What can I say – I’m basic. ;). I’ve always had a love and fascination with movies, tv shows, Vanity Fair magazines, and looking at the history and style from the Mad Men era. They have something so timeless and yet meaningful about them?! Both their posed and candid moments – I DIE! I have been so fortunate that I’ve been able to take the things that inspire me and apply them organically to my wedding photography.

We are SO happy with our decision to have Briana shoot our wedding! We booked them back in 2018 and they did our engagement shoot in 2019. Bria was great about communicating and getting to know us prior to our shoot date! It truly felt like we were just hanging out with an old friend. Fast forward to 2020 when we learned our wedding would have to be cancelled due to COVID. Again, Bria was wonderful in her communication and we were able to shift gears and turn our would be wedding into an elopement shoot. Bria and Andrew are going to continue with us in our journey as we throw our big bash in 2022! Our photographs are absolutely STUNNING. Her style is very candid -- doesn't feel too pose-y. We got so many great shots at both of our events. She also works with GREAT local businesses for prints. We are absolutely in love with our gallery wall and our albums. Such high quality.

Laura was wonderful. Before booking, she took the time to get to know us, learn more about our wedding, and what our vision was. (She even helped fill some gaps in our day that we didn't even think about). After booking, her communication was outstanding, not only with her consistent follow ups, but she was able to really vibe with us. Day of, we felt really comfortable with her taking our photos. Our guests commented on how professional, friendly, and helpful she was. At the end of the experience, it felt like a friend was taking our photos and not someone we just met on Zola. The photos came out great and captured exactly who my wife and I are.

We were really happy to work with Norbert, he was always responsive, flexible and very attentive to our questions. He was very professional and friendly to us at all times. Plus, he gave us some great recommendations around the area that we hadn't even heard of! We have never really had pictures taken of us before in a romantic setting by a professional before, that alone was pretty intimidating for us. Norbert made the entire photo experience a lot less intimidating for us to go through, the pictures came out perfect in the end! Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely recommend him to anyone marrying in the future in need of a photographer.

I’m Cherlyn (rhymes with Berlin). So nice to e-meet you! If we met in person and it wasn’t during a pandemic- I would probably hug you! I’m an introvert-extrovert and tend to ramble too much when I get nervous. In emails - I tend to use exclamation points a lot!! (and will agonize over my drafts of emails before sending them because they probably have one too many!!) My aim as your photographer is to provide a memorable experience where you two feel comfortable, taken care of, and get to fully enjoy your wedding day as much as possible with all your guests & loved ones - whether they be in real life or via livestream!

Cherlyn is a dream. A friend of ours recommended her to us for our engagement photos and I swear she has some inside scoop with the sun because the lighting was insane (in a good way). She literally managed to find every single shimmer the golden hour had to offer. My husband (never gets old) and I pulled together a somewhat last minute ceremony and reached out equally last minute to see if she was available, and thankfully she was. Our ceremony was followed by dinner and drinks at two separate locations hours apart - so we had super low expectations for capturing the whole day. Cherlyn not only came to each location, she helped with set up, and did her thing making sure every special moment was photographed. She's personable, thoughtful and will go out of her way to make you and your partner feel comfortable. For us she felt like an extension of our community and a new friend. If you're in the SF Bay Area, look no further. You won't be disappointed.

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.

I believe the best photos occur when... artistry and intentionality meet moments of heartfelt connection. I'll guide you towards the dreamiest light and offer unobtrusive direction that lends to natural movements and sincere emotion. I also slow things down and help re-center everyone, creating space for beautiful moments to unfold, like mom fluffing your veil, dad's expression when he sees you all dressed up, and fleeting looks between you and your partner.

I cannot recommend Elyana enough! I wanted dreamy photos that were candid-esque so I got really excited when I came across her website. I honestly had no idea what to expect when working with a professional photographer but her service was exceptional. She's super friendly, easy-going, efficient, and communicative. Everything went unbelievably smoothly. We had Elyana for 2 hours during our elopement and she made it so fun and easy to be in front of a camera. She provided a lot of much-needed direction and our session went by so quickly and smoothly. She even helped grab my veil when I forgot it in my suite! I'm not photogenic so I was nervous about looking like a total derp after many wonderful vendors had put so much work into my hair, makeup, dress, and florals... But her artistic sense and prompting really made for some amazing pictures. She works fast! Sneak peeks and full gallery were received well before their promise dates. Granted, it probably helped that we only had a 2 hour elopement session, but the speedy turnaround time is super appreciated nonetheless. The one struggle I have from working with her is trying to pick which beautiful images will be displayed in our home. Thank you so much for these photos that we will cherish forever!

I cannot say enough good things about Keith and his work. In fact, I'm about two months late in posting this review because I've been spending so much time trying to ensure that it perfectly encapsulates how much we loved worked with Keith. This is my best shot (no photo pun intended), but know that my husband and I could go on for pages! We were SO lucky to be connected with Keith by my brother, a former college crew-mate, and even more fortunate that not only was Keith available for our wedding weekend but more than willing to travel out-of-state to photograph our big day. Of all of the vendors we worked with (and there were a lot, even though we ended up having a very small, COVID-conscious wedding), Keith made me feel the most comfortable and totally at ease from day one. He put a great deal of thought and time into his correspondence with me from the very first time I reached out (over a year before our wedding). He was extremely timely in his responses (and still is, even after the wedding!). Even virtually, I felt that we were able to develop a good relationship, which is so important with all of your vendors, but especially your photographer. Keith made every business transaction super easy and overall was just SO good to work with. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Keith continued to demonstrate his patience and empathy as we endured many pandemic related changes. He did not add to that stress at all and his easy-going nature actually put me at ease just days before when I was trying to perfect a timeline for him. The day of the wedding was our first time meeting in person, but it felt like seeing an old friend. He was totally delightful to work with and made both my husband and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera, despite both of us being a little nervous about our modeling skills. Besides being an all-around great person - kind, quiet, thoughtful, intelligent, talented - Keith's photography is out-of-this world stunning. I mean, truly incredible! Monday morning after our wedding, we had tons of sneak peak photos and he delivered our complete album on our one-month anniversary (and remembered that it was our anniversary!) which was several weeks earlier than anticipated. He captured more emotion than I thought possible in EVERY SINGLE PHOTO. We can't stop looking at them, and neither can our friends and family. We cannot wait to book Keith again in the future. Don't hesitate - book Keith today. You won't regret it!

June of 2012. Just two months after my mom was critically injured and hospitalized. I began using my camera as an emotional outlet. I started taking portraits for family and friends, and eventually, photographed a courthouse wedding. As time went on, it hit me: These photos are freaking important! And I knew from personal experience that these moments, & the people in them, aren't going to be here forever. That camera became so much more than an outlet. It gave me purpose. And now I see my job as an act of service to you. I'm honored to use my talents and skills to deliver what really matters: TANGIBLE MEMORIES OF YOU & THE ONES YOU LOVE

I truly do not even know where to begin regarding my experience with Alyssa and her team at Alyssa Morgan Photography. Over the past 2 years planning our wedding, Alyssa became much more than a vendor; she became a friend and trusted wedding planning confidante. From the moment I met her on my first wedding planning scouting trip (we live in NJ and had a destination wedding in Islamorada), I KNEW she was the photographer for us. Her photos clearly speak for themselves (I mean come ON, they are like something out of a magazine), but her personality (awesome), knowledge of the area (she is a Keys native, which is SO important when having a destination wedding in my opinion – you need someone familiar with the lighting, the locations, etc.), and her overall expertise in the industry (she even coaches other photographers!) truly make her worth every penny. This girl is worth her weight in GOLD and MORE. Alyssa photographed our engagement shoot almost 2 years ago, which helped us to get to know each other more. She knew how to make my then-fiancé laugh and even SMILE in front of the camera (which is not his favorite place to be) and make us look like supermodels in the process. We have her shots of us hanging all over our home because they are too beautiful not to show off. Despite COVID, missing out on our additional wedding planning trips due to the pandemic, and the overall unknown that was our wedding over the past year (we were worried we would have to postpone, cancel, etc.), she was virtually by our side every step of the way. Keeping us filled in on the state of the Keys, helping us troubleshoot obstacles, and keeping me calm in the process. When it came to our wedding, obviously as a bride it is a very overwhelming and nerve wracking day, but when Alyssa and her team of Kat (2nd shooter) and Kurt (videographer – we never even wanted a videographer until Kurt jointed her team and I saw his work and I am SO glad we decided to do it!!!), I instantly felt better. She worked with me and our planner before the wedding to put together a detailed outline of the day, photography timeline, important shot list, and she even helped me pull off a surprise first look for my fiancé with his best man dressed in a wedding dress to calm his nerves too! The day went off seamlessly, she coordinated us, our family, friends, bridal party, extended family to make sure every shot we wanted was taken. We got our sneak peeks back within days and my *husband* and I spent the remainder of our minimoon entranced by them! I always told Alyssa that photography was THE MOST important aspect of my wedding (I am a huge picture person) – and we COULD NOT BE HAPPIER that we chose her to shoot the most important day of our lives. We WILL be returning to the Keys and look forward to Alyssa shooting things like our anniversaries, pregnancy photos, and family photos in the years to come. **In summary, if I can just drive home just one point: IF YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED IN THE KEYS AND NOT USING ALYSSA FOR PHOTOGRAPHY: YOU. ARE. DOING. IT. WRONG!**

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!

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

We had the best experience working with Nick (and Mackenzie) on our big day. I cannot recommend Nick Cruz Photography enough! All of our photos are so beautiful and exceeded our (high) expectations. We could not have asked for better photos or a better photographer. Getting married during COVID meant a lot of last-minute changes in plans and Nick was so supportive and willing to work with us to make sure we captured all aspects of the day safely. And he is so personable - we had a total of 13 people at our wedding, so it was a very small group, all immediate family, but he fit right in! He was super organized and had a shot list to make sure we didn't miss any typical wedding photos. His website for photo delivery makes it so easy to view/download photos and he got us some sneak peaks super fast. Overall, we had such a great experience with Nick and plan to use him for all other big life events that require photography! (He also did our engagement - those photos were amazing too! He worked with my husband to pop out of the trees and capture the actual proposal.)

We fell in love with his quality of work, work ethic, and personality. He coached us with posing, and we were comfortable taking his direction. The vision he has comes to life candidly in the photos, and after three photo sessions with him, I cannot pick a favorite because they're all uniquely beautiful. Our first session was our engagement session, which I wanted to do on a boat in the Keys because it's a special place and hobby for us so I thought it would be a personal touch and photos we could cherish forever. He was all about the idea and didn't nickel and dime us, which often happens as you plan this very personal event. I prioritized finding vendors who truly love what they do and are invested in their couple, not just the event, and Sebastian is just that!

I love watching Gilmore Girls and trips to the beach. I love Jesus and worship music is my jam (along with Disney music, Olivia Rodrigo, One Direction, and Shawn Mendes).

Nevaeh is not only an amazing photographer, but she’s an amazing person who is always smiling and working hard to capture the right moment. She photographed our wedding in 2020 (during Covid). It was a small outdoor wedding. She captured some amazing photos and always did so with a smile. She has so many great ideas and made it so easy to pose. She was great to work with and would recommend her to anyone in search of a photographer from family photos, senior photos to weddings. Nevaeh is your photographer!

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

Hands down the best photographer for your wedding! Thank you Daniel for our memories!

My style is natural and photojournalistic. I love capturing unscripted moments because those are the type of photos that tell a richer story of your day. Working with me means nothing overly posed, nothing awkward, nothing that doesn't feel like YOU. While we'll spend some time doing portraits, my priority is for you to be present and enjoy your wedding day. I like to shoot discreetly with an emphasis on candids so from the moment you first see each other to that last hilarious toast, you’ll be relaxed and focused on one another and not even noticed I’m there.

My musical group, Bay Area Strings, has performed at several weddings and receptions where Vivian was the photographer. Her event work is unobtrusive, taking great photographs without anyone noticing! We have ended up using several of her candid photographs of our string players, as she has a great eye for composition and color, with a modern and artistic style that still focuses on personality of the subjects. I have also noticed that her turnaround time to provide high-quality photos to the client and vendors is very fast compared to many others we have worked with.

I’ve been living and working in Los Angeles & Santa Barbara since 2013, and have happily kissed winter boots and car ice scrapers goodbye forever!  As far as aesthetic goes, my photos are bright, cheerful and thoughtfully framed. Combining the perfect setting with the right color palate and a bit of art direction for my clients is my superpower. My approach for portraits can be described as editorial, and my goal is to artfully capture the essence of you!  

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply put, working with Laura on our wedding day was the best decision we could have possibly made. She was friendly, timely, professional, speedy, expeditious; all of the things you would hope for on such an insanely hectic and important day. And as for the results... we couldn't be happier! Laura and her shooting partner captured the day beautifully from start to finish without ever overstating their presence, and as pleased as we are with the organized photos, we are equally impressed by the 'in-between' moments that they were able to capture. We could not recommend Laura highly enough and are looking forward to the next time we are able to work with her again. Cheers!

Due to COVID, our wedding was postponed twice and ultimately cancelled. During each postponement, Willmus Weddings was still able to work with us. Ultimately the wedding was cancelled last minute due to the current restrictions and the fact that we were moving out of state in the next few months. The USS Midway was able to accommodate us to take the photos on the ship and even provided a beautiful intimate ceremony on the ship. Christophe and his videographer were there to capture this absolutely spectacular day. His professionalism along with his AMAZING talent could never go unnoticed.

She was an absolute delight to work with and helped put my husband (who hates taking photos) at ease.

Animus-Art photography consists of two amazing humans, Pedro & B, who are even more perfect when they come together. Working with them on our engagement and wedding was nothing short of a fun adventure. My husband and I are not exactly naturals on camera, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at the images they captured. Pedro & B are fun, creative, passionate, hard-working and incredibly talented!! They go above and beyond to get the perfect shot! Their work is exceptional and speaks for itself. I couldn’t imagine the images being any more perfect. But aside from that, Pedro & B offer something truly special with their personalities and work ethic. They weren’t just our photographers- especially on the wedding day- they took on so many roles. They were like the best friend who never left our sight. While we were getting ready, Pedro spent much of the time with my husband and the boys, and B stayed with me and the girls. B was my superwoman on my wedding day. She wasn’t just one of my photographers - she was my maid of honor, my friend, my event coordinator, my personal assistant, my therapist. She just seemed to be there every second of the day, willing and ready to help out in every way. All this, while she snapped hundreds of beautiful, creative photos. Pedro is the kind of photographer who listens while you describe your ideal look to your hair dresser so that he can make sure it stays that way all night. And as he prompts you to fix your hair 3 hours into your reception, you smile with pride because you know you hired the best photographers in the world. The level of attention they pay to detail is unreal! They anticipate your needs before you even know about them. They capture real moments in a beautiful way. They know how to take photos while letting you be yourself- no constant stopping and prompting. In my opinion, those make for the best shots. They have so much fun doing what they do, it’s infectious. I am so so happy that they were our wedding photographers and hope to have them capture other important events in our future. Absolutely THE BEST!!!

For the wedding, she made sure to get every single specific photo I told her was important to me. Even ones I had forgotten about in the moment. I was truly grateful for how patient she was the day of and how organized she was. We’ve only gotten our sneak peek photos but so far but they are incredible!

We are not typical wedding photographers, that is for certain. We go against the usual grain, and that's exactly how we like it to roll. Normal is boring. Well, for us, at least. Not just for the 'wild at heart' and 'free-spirited'. For e v e r y o n e. And we mean it. We don't discriminate. Ever.

Amazing! I really wish they planned events because I would hire them for everything. Sarah Darren were the kindest, most responsive, helpful, and patient vendors we hired for our wedding. Darren even helped move our ceremony arch! Totally not his job but we really appreciated the help! My husband and I hate taking pictures and we felt so comfortable on our wedding day. We really didn’t want cheesy traditional wedding photography so when we stumbled upon their instagram page we knew we had to hire them.

Madeleine was hands down the best wedding photographer I could have ever asked for. She is amazing with communication and she made sure that my husband and I's big day was both magical and stress free. She helped coordinate our first look, a special and timeless moment that we will never forget. I did not know what to expect for our first look and I was really nervous thinking about it, but she knew exactly how to set it up so that it was the most genuine and perfect moment of my life. She also did an outstanding job working alongside our wedding florist, as well as with our day of coordinators. We were able to get some amazing photos on top of a mountain/hill at our venue overlooking a valley. Despite the flowers for our half circle arch being situated all the way down at the ceremony area, Madeleine and our florist were able to work together to bring them up to the hill and do a coordinated photoshoot for us there. I loved seeing our gorgeous flower arch in two different locations at our venue. Everything about Madeleine Collins Photography is so professional, from the planning before the big day, to receiving all of the edited photos afterwards. The photos came out so beautifully and she did such a great job bringing out all the right colors and lighting. She knew exactly how to capture the lighting and our expressions. If you're still in between photographers and deciding, I can guarantee that you will not regret choosing Madeleine.

However, when I received my GORGEOUS photos from Taylor, it meant the world to me to have something beautiful, over the top, and PERFECT during a time when so many things have taken unexpected turns.

I love colorful, full of fun, romantic, true-to-you weddings! A little about me, Ariel! I can't live without love, beautiful in-season flowers all over my house and adventure. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings for the past 10 years; over 200 weddings!

Ariel shot my husband and I's Long Beach art district engagement session and our Joshua Tree anniversary shoot. I wasn't lucky enough to have Ariel photograph my actual wedding, but hopefully, you will be able to swoop her up because she is a gem! The testament to a great wedding photographer isn't just that they capture beautiful photos, but that they communicate and listen to you as a couple and make you feel at ease. Ariel is incredibly professional and makes sure she understands what you want out of your images, while also bringing her expertise and experience to capture those special moments that will bring you joy. You are in safe hands with Ariel if you're not comfortable in front of the camera or are afraid of looking awkward because she takes the time to help bring out that natural smile and loosen you up. I know this because I'm a self-proclaimed adorkable person who can get super awkward in front of a camera, and Ariel has a way of gently suggesting a better angle/shot or inspiring a more natural smile. She doesn't just click a button but is looking at the photo she is capturing to ensure she is snapping a beautiful image. Ariel also doesn't heavily treat her images with dramatic filters. She just brings out the beautiful colors and light of the day. If you want simply beautiful images, Lark & Lavender is the way to go! When you hire Lark & Lavender, you're not just hiring a wedding photographer but a creative artist who has a vision for capturing every beautiful and memorable moment of your day, plus she just makes you instantly feel relaxed and at ease which is essential on what can sometimes be a very stressful day.

My superpower is the way I connect with your vision. I see you guys on the best day of your lives. I see how well you two fit together, how in love you are, how perfect it all looks. And then I use my camera to make sure that’s exactly how you look in your photos. As someone who grew up *hating* all photos of me, I'm ultra aware of that for others. I still cringe a little when I think about having my photo taken, but I’ve found that it’s always easier when a friend is there to keep me laughing. My sense of humor (and obsession with bad puns) is the perfect way to break the ice for effortless, fun photos that help you feel your best!

Elopements are an incredible way to fuse together everything you love about doing life with your person and celebrate your relationship in a genuine, meaningful way. They allow you to put your marriage first. To release any pressure or judgment and just be you, together. Not only are you committing your life to someone you love more than anything, but you’re starting the adventure of a lifetime with an adventure of a lifetime. And because I’ll be there to help you craft the whole thing, and document it as it unfolds, you can relive your best day ever; over and over, forever.

I shot my first elopement wedding film with Jayne and she was such a joy to work with! Not only was she helpful in making sure I could get the shots I need, but she definitely had a rapport with the couple that really put them at ease. The other thing that really stood out was how thoughtful and detailed she was. She had done so much scouting, research, and leg work that the day just flowed really well and everything was just easy! Would highly recommend working with Jayne!

Photographing a couple's love story is something I never take for granted. It is an honor & privilege to create art for my couples. My absolute favorite thing to do is illustrate your love story, your adventure, your favorite memories. Let's create some magic!

Ashley is seriously one of the best vendors I've ever worked with. Her photos are wonderful and fit the sweet, romantic style with a hint of vintage. But not only is her work great, she's so easy to work with. She makes sure to be there for every step of the process and is so easy to talk to. My husband and I are not the most photogenic but she makes the whole process simple and fun. I can't recommend her enough!

I have been a storyteller my whole life. From throwing on crazy costumes to entertain my family to picking up a camera for the first time, I've always known storytelling was my passion! I am a wife to my rock, my goofy dance partner, my best friend. I am a mama to Parker and doggy mommy to Dunken who is constantly chasing both of them around yelling "YOU'RE SO CUTE LET ME SQUEEZE YOU!!"... true story.

When we were planning for our wedding almost a year ago, it was so important to find a photographer we loved and were able to completely trust. We immediately knew after our initial phone conversation with Tyler that we didn’t need to look any further. Tyler isn’t just a photographer...she does SO MUCH more. Our wedding venue ended up canceling on us midway through this year. I was devastated but Tyler was there every step of the way and ALWAYS accommodating. She answered texts and was always available...even if it was asking for advice on bridesmaids dress colors. We ended up deciding to elope with family in an intimate beach setting. Tyler helped pick a venue and led the entire step of the way. I never felt like I was just another bride to Tyler. My grandparents who weren’t able to attend got to relive the day through our photos which is something I’ll cherish forever. We look at our photos almost daily and stare at them in awe...nonetheless, Tyler gave us a sneak peek in about 24hrs!!! If you want someone you can trust and rely on and know someone who can take all you milestone photos moving further...look know further. Tyler is simply the best.

I first fell in love with photography more than 20 years while working for my high school yearbook. After that, I pursued photography as a hobby while I studied Electrical Engineering, but in 2014 I decided that I still wanted to do something more meaningful. So started to pursue wedding photography by working for my friends company as a 2nd shooter. After gaining a lot of experience and 40 weddings later in 2015 I launched my own business and have be loving it ever since.

Brandon is a very talented photographer and videographer, comfortable to work with. He's also a very responsible person with great personality. Hire him, you won't regret!!!

Hi! I am Courtney! Photography is my passion. I can't put into words how excited I am thinking about a session or a wedding. Giddy like a little kid in a toy store, I suppose! I love details. As small as the sparkling eyeshadow on the bride's eyelid for her special day. The tiny fingernails on a newborn's hands. All the giggles and laughs. Kisses and a loving glance. I want to document every little thing for you. Events and life, in general, can be so busy. I am based in Arlington, Washington, but I serve all of the United States and most countries. I LOVE to travel!

Courtney photographed my daughter's wedding and I cannot say enough good things about her. As the mother of the bride, I was very involved (maybe a little too involved my daughter said) and I had many questions, and it was important to me that we had everything in order. I was able to set up a call and communicate with Courtney before the wedding and I felt such ease on the day. I went to her with a problem and she easily came up with a solution. She was present, aware, and there ready to capture whatever unfolded. She was easy going and simply a pleasure, helping any way she could. The whole family and the guests were impressed and kept going up to her and thanking her for a job well done. I cannot wait to book her for annual family photos now!

I focus on candid photos mostly because I love capturing my couples just the way they are! We will have fun, laugh and maybe cry together! I also do some posed photos here and there but I love capturing those moments in between.

Vanessa was a pleasure to work with! I used her for my engagement and wedding photos! She captured out special day beautifully.

We're Jay and Larissa, partners, parents, and documentary wedding photographers based in Chicago and capturing weddings around the world. We've photographed love stories from Mexico to the Rocky Mountains and beyond. We've also been ranked among the world's best wedding photographers, but what matters most to us is what our couples think. Our goal is to blow your mind with photos that make your mother-in-law cry and your best friends say "holy shit!" If you want wedding photos that aren't just wedding photos, you're in the right place.

Holy sh**. Excuse my language, but It is needed to make sure that those of you reading this understand how sincerly amazing Jay and Larissa are. We have used them to photograph us personally as a couple and have used them for a wedding of family friends; and newborn pictures of my Niece, Harper. Each and every experience and photo shoot and email and text and phone call with them has been perfectly professional, fun, and reasonable. The prices are great, the people are great- and the photos are freakin perfect. Unique and fun and different- but also traditional for those seeking that. Jay and Larrisa are an amazing couple and they take seriously great photos. We will be using them for the next niece who is soon to arrive, and for engagement and wedding photos in the upcoming years. PLEASE give them a call today- they are the best!!!!!

Betsy is a lifestyle, wedding, and music photographer based in Los Angeles. She discovered photography as a creative outlet while studying theater at USC. Shortly after graduation, Betsy was hired as the tour photographer for Maroon 5 and documented 34 concerts across the country. Since then, Betsy has been on the road with One Direction, One Republic, Charlie Puth, and most recently Trevor Noah. Betsy's eye for candid moments and storytelling has led to photographing weddings around the world. She lives for documenting life and love through the lens. Betsy looks forward to hearing from you and bringing your vision to life!

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