Photography transforms your memories into tangible pieces of art. As a photographer, I get to capture your most cherished moments, which throughout the years transform into gifts for your future generations. I love to capture the organic emotion throughout your wedding day: the smiles, laughs and happy tears, it brings me back to my middle school reportage days. I also love to art direct and get those more editorial portraits and details that all get layered together with my documentary images to create the tangible record of your love story.

Columbia, MD

  • Serves San Mateo, CA for additional fees

Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. We’ve always sought to remember things exactly how they happened - how we felt. This is how authentic photography captivates us. The goal is to photograph your day as it unfolds naturally. Take a few moments to go through some words from past clients describing their experience with us. You’ll also find us on Google.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Josh Fernandez as our engagement and wedding photographer was undoubtedly the best decision we have ever made. Our travel to Josh Fernandez was well timed. Over the course of the epidemic, rescheduling our wedding and praying that he would still be our photographer, the stars aligned to create this lovely friendship. He makes the process straightforward and goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort by assisting other vendors. Josh is a rockstar, a man of the people, and a humble gentleman who will execute his amazing vision for your event with humility and respect. Every conceivable accommodation you can imagine, he has your back. His photographs - Exquisite, cerebral, explosive. He continues to push the limits of his skill and catches abstract philosophical notions that evoke emotion and make you rethink your identity. This summer, we are seeking our third photoshoot with him, and we aim to recommend him to all of our connections.

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Ashley was seriously the sweetest, most professional we had the pleasure of working with!! My husband and I are not comfortable in front of a camera at all, but it was such a breeze with Ashley’s guidance. The whole mini-shoot felt like a fun, quick, conversation with a friend. If you aren’t sure if Ashley’s your girl, she is.

  • Serves San Mateo, CA for additional fees

We’re a studio that does things differently. Our main goal is to make sure you’re having fun on your wedding day. To ensure that everyone getting their photo/video taken isn’t treated like another number but rather treated like family. and that the photo/video process isn’t “cookie-cutter” because everyone’s wedding day is unique and special. We’ve been to hundreds of weddings as a team, and our motto has never changed. We want you to live in the moment, while we capture it.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning of our planning process, I knew I wanted to work with Ryan/Jenn and team to bring our beautiful wedding to life in photo and video. Being an out-of-towner and hosting a destination wedding for family and friends, I was looking for a team I could trust with my creative vision even though I was a bit unaware of the wedding landscape in Newport, and I was not disappointed. From the moment we agreed to work with the Willow Photo team, we felt completely taken care of with the exceptional level of service that was provided. Leading up to the big day, it was so amazing to have a Zoom call with Ryan and our 2 photographers and videographers so we could get to know each other on more of a personal level and also establish some of our must-needs for the wedding day. Not only did the Willow team join us for the wedding day, but Britt also came to our Welcome Party the night before to capture some amazing moments. Britt, Hayden, Luke, Kaeli were the best day-of team. Literally captured EVERYTHING and were creative with all shots throughout the day, which I super appreciated because it all showed in the finished photos. The team just felt like part of the celebration and we had the BEST time together :) The day-of experience was INCREDIBLE, but that feeling of getting the final edited photos from Ryan was MAGICAL. Ryan delivered our full (massive) gallery and you can tell he diligently edited the photos to try and bring my bright-colored vision to life (even though it was super humid and foggy on wedding day...). I just can't say enough amazing things about this team. My one wish is that we lived in Rhode Island so the team could capture all of our special life moments 3

Ellicott City, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves San Mateo, CA for additional fees

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Justin more than 5 stars, I honestly would. It took me a long time of going through photographers' portfolios (I looked at 20, at least) before I stumbled across his work, but man oh man am I glad that I did. For me, photography was one of the most important elements of my wedding, and Justin's mastery of natural light and shadow is frankly unparalleled. A lot of photographers can frame a shot, but in the increasing trend of "matte" shots, Justin gives his photos LIFE -- something that's incredibly difficult to do. We used Justin for our engagement shoot a month before our wedding, and hired him for the full day of our wedding; he was by far one of the best vendors we worked with. A consummate professional, he readily responds to email (including numerous questions about what location works best for an engagement shoot "in a field" and whether or not we should bring in a second shooter to capture my husband's reaction at me walking down the aisle), puts his clients at ease (literally every person at our wedding commented how much they loved him), and is just an all-around brilliant artist. On our wedding day, Justin was cool, calm, and collected - even when a park ranger was shooing us away from the site we were taking photos at. His editing of all of the photos he took that day was simply fantastic, and while I wish we had a little bit better luck with the sunset on the final shoot with my husband, he managed to get some great shots! Plus, he's an amazing dancer and will absolutely get your guests to take some awesome dancing shots :) Hire Justin, trust me. You won't regret it! We will be using him for all of the milestones we can!

Four Doves Photography Studios

5.0

Astoria, NY
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves San Mateo, CA for additional fees

I'm a digital & film photographer living in NYC capturing weddings, couples, and life around me. I have a genuine love for creating images you'll look back on that'll always give you butterflies! I approach photography intentionally, and am emotionally driven behind the camera. I’m all about those in-between candids and documenting in the moment, as well as artful posing. I love making genuine connections with people, and the natural friendships that can come from working together! Approaching your wedding photography as an art form is just a small part of why I absolutely love what I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Four Doves after seeing amazing photos they did for a mutual friends wedding. Early on in our engagement my [now] husband and I decided photography was definitely something we wanted to be picky about. We looked at a variety of different vendors and wanted to make sure whoever we chose didn't just have a beautiful portfolio and was reasonable in price, but also matched our more relaxed style. Rebecca certainly did and managed to capture photos of us really being ourselves. Not only was Four Doves reasonably priced for the quality but Rebecca really put us at ease with the whole process. Then, when COVID hit she was flexible and kept our day reserved despite us have no idea what we were doing. Ultimately, we had a small ceremony and Rebecca rolled with the punches. We received our teasers promptly the next day, with a generous number of pictures, and were blown away. So many people have complimented our photos and we could not be any happier with them (and thats not even the full album)! We look forward to using Four Doves for many more happy events and I would recommend you do, too!

Fueled by equal parts sweet tea and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

We booked Melinda for an engagement session and our wedding. Unfortunately due to covid we’ve had to postpone our wedding ceremony, but she was so accommodating and responsive throughout our postponing decision. We’ve had our engagement session and the photos are beautiful. She made us feel comfortable posing even when we were in front of hundreds of people. Overall Melinda is very friendly, professional and responsive.

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!

Angel and I could not have been more happy to have Abigail and Bailey as our photographers. We are not the type of people to take pictures but Abigail made us feel comfortable and natural when taking our engagement photos and wedding photos. On our wedding day they were right by our side, and it felt as if they were another one of our friends celebrating our love with us, capturing all the moments that we will look back on for the rest of our lives! If you need any photos ever, go to Abigail. I know that we found our photographer that we hope will last us a lifetime!

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!

I work full-time as a fashion and wedding photographer, and promise to get all of your Arrested Development references. I'm not here to ask you to smile and look at the camera - I'm here to be your pal and make some beautiful keepsakes to look back on!

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

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day.

Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can’t explain how happy we were to have Skylar capture our wedding day and engagement photos! She is extremely easy to work with through the entire process. After meeting her for the first time, we knew that we had someone personable, dependable, and talented. Her photos/style captured our happiness while highlighting the beauty of the moment. I could go on and on about how fabulous she is! Save yourself the trouble of searching for a photographer and have her be a part of your special day!

Hi, I'm Katy! I've been a photographer and videographer for over 17 years and I love working with couples to create beautiful, artistic photos and films! My visual style tends to be soft with bright lighting, earthy/vibrant tones, a shallow depth of field (blurred backgrounds and foregrounds), and a mix of prompted and candid poses. My energy tends to be pretty calming, which can help people look and feel more natural in their photos and on video. I enjoy artistic collaboration and I love hearing your ideas and seeing your Pinterest inspiration boards!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Katy was so rewarding! I highly recommend booking her for any occasion or portrait session. Her confidence and creativity was reassuring and the variety of equipment she uses impressive in delivering a range of beautiful photos. My fiancé and I booked our engagement shoot with her and honestly did not expect to love our pictures as much as we do. This was our first professional shoot and Katy helped us to feel at ease, she utilized ques to direct us into postures and poses that look absolutely amazing! Despite freezing temperatures, she was able to capture our moment flawlessly. We are so happy and satisfied!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Shelby is incredibly easygoing and flexible, with a genuine focus on making your day true to you. During our consultation in the weeks before the ceremony, it was evident that we would be comfortable in front of the camera with her in charge. Aside from asking for a handful of specific family shots, we gave her full creative control of the day, and I can’t put into words how beautifully her vision came to life. Looking through her portfolio ahead of time, I admittedly expected the photos with my husband and family to be gorgeous given her clear editing and shooting talent. Needless to say, my expectations were very high for the full album. As we opened our album for the first time, we were absolutely blown away by her ability to capture the emotions of our guests during the ceremony. The photo of my mom tearing up, my best friend grinning ear-to-ear while holding my bouquet, and the sweet soft smile of my father-in-law leaning in closer to hear our vows better are all moments that I didn’t get to experience during the ceremony, but will now forever be a part of that day for me. Through photos, she managed to make an already perfect day full of even more joy and emotion. What she provided for us was absolutely priceless and I will be searching for new moments for her to capture in the future.

I had contacted them to see if there were any availabilities for the following month and we were able to book them quickly. They had quick responses and were informative as well as provided examples of ideas. They were also willing to travel to us, which was perfect.

Welcome.

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.

Hello! I'm Diana - An emotive wedding photographer focused on capturing candid love, real stories, and epic connection. Specializing in vibrant, clean, documentary imagery that will stand the test of time. Proudly serving couples in Arkansas and Oaxaca, Mexico.

Diana is kind, very communicative and very professional. I've heard of other photographers not communicating prior to weddings or dropping off the face of the earth, but not the case with Diana! There's open communication and planning and discussion and she checks in beforehand. She is able to be respectful yet also wrestle the groups and poses together that need to happen! We had 150 family members between my husband and me, and she was able to organize everyone into family photos very efficiently--it was like herding cats but she made it look easy! She helped coach my husband and me so that poses looked natural, and walked us through activities to get great bridal party photos. She respected our preferences for minimal editing, with bright and clear photos with lots of light. She had a second shooter as well and they collaborated together very well together to get great photos. I loved how Diana was assertive in her communication with our videographer and any other vendors to make sure they weren't in shots so I didn't have to worry about my positioning or spend any mental energy on that because I knew she had it taken care of. 10/10 would recommend her as a wedding photographer!

Jessica was absolutely amazing and we are incredibly pleased with our decision to use her as our engagement and wedding photographer! She was a great communicator who went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly. Jessica being so organized and on top of things made our wedding experience much less stressful than it otherwise would have been. Neither my husband or I are super comfortable in front of a camera, but Jessica’s directions and attitude put us at ease and made for a very enjoyable experience. Our wedding day went just according to plan, and so so much of that credit goes to Jessica! Taking everything we had spoken about into consideration, she put a wedding day timeline together for us; that was a huge stress relief! Jessica was amazing leading up to the wedding and I couldn’t of been any more pleased. I had so much confidence in Jessica leading up to the wedding day, and she did not disappoint! She was organized, had a plan, and followed it just as we had discussed. When hiccups arose, she was a calming presence who quickly adapted and made the absolute best out of the situation. Now, on to the photos! Jessica is a remarkably talented photographer who captured our wedding day better than we could have imagined. The photos all turned out so good and she was able to capture so many moments that we, as the bride and groom, were not able to witness in the moment. Our couples portraits, wedding party photos, and family photos were stunning. We are also so incredibly grateful for Jessica taking the time to photograph our guests during the reception. She was able to capture every moment with such authenticity; we love to look back at the photos and relive the day.

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.

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

We booked Jennifer for our wedding set to take place in Nov 2022 because her photos were moody and gorgeous. She was the only photographer that my now-husband Alex and I could agree upon when looking through portfolios. Jennifer absolutely blew us away when she did our engagement shoot, we had a hard time believing she could one-up it for the wedding. But in true artistic fashion, she did, and we are so blessed to have found her. Not only was she so easy to work with, but she was incredibly accommodating when we had to suddenly move our wedding due to a severe family emergency. We can’t say enough about her, honestly. But my husband and I both agreed that we will be flying her out wherever we are every life milestone from here on out. Do yourself a favor and just book her!

Picking Cassie as my wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I ever made around my big day! I was attracted by her folio and style after viewing so many photographers in Boston, and then made the decision to book her through our Zoom meeting. She is really good at telling stories and capturing moments. I was nervous at first which I assume a lot of us do on the wedding day, but Cassie made it really easy for me and my husband through creating an encouraging, light and easy vibe. We feel like we can laugh and dance and make fun however we want in front of her camera and that makes a great wedding photographer. Cassie is also a very talented and professional photographer that is really passionate at her creation and work. She delivered almost 10 different settings for our 2 hour session and each is unique and remarkable. I'd say go over her folio and make sure you like her style, and eventually you will fall in love with her work.

Chris with Shipwrecked Creative helped capture our wedding day perfectly! The planning before the wedding was quite rushed as we booked just few months before the big day, but he helped coordinate our meetings and plan everything out, so we were on the same page. He was very responsive and detailed with everything. The questionnaire he sent us made it super easy to give him all the right information, so he didn’t need to ask 100 questions on the phone or via email. We had a very rainy day with few moments that the sun was shining. Chris helped us capture every moment perfectly. He guided our poses so it wasn’t awkward or unnatural, kept us laughing along the way, and helped us coordinate our timeline to fit in all our family photos, sunset photos (that miraculously worked out with the weather!) and portrait shots that we wanted of our big day. Between the chaos of the wedding in general and the crappy weather, Chris helped us really make our day special, even trekking out in the mud and rain to get some amazing sunset shots! I highly recommend Chris and his team at Shipwrecked Creative. Couldn’t ask for a better team!

My fiancè and I booked a sunrise engagement shoot with Murtaza. From the day we first reached out, Murtaza was extremely professional, kind, and quick to respond. Murtaza was very accommodating of our limited schedules, and held several calls with us before the shoot to make sure every detail would be exactly what we wanted. On the actual day of the shoot, we were nervous as we don’t like having our photos taken. Murtaza made us instantly feel at ease with his kindness and radiant positivity. He patiently worked with us to pick our best angles, but also included fun, dynamic prompts that made us forget about the camera and not look stiff. As an added bonus, within a few minutes of leaving the shooting site, Murtaza sent us a sneak peek he had already edited! We treasured these until we received the full package of edited photos, which were stunning beyond our expectations or hopes.

Nicole is THE BEST! We initially hired her for our engagement shoot but we loved her photos so much once we saw them that we immediately hired her for our wedding too, and those photos came out equally as amazing! Nicole did such a great job capturing all of the happiness, warmth and love from our wedding day that I feel like I’m reliving every wonderful moment when I look at them. Beyond her skills as a photographer, Nicole was so patient and kind with all of my questions and was such a sweet, positive person to have with us at the wedding - when it was time for her to go I didn’t want her to leave! Overall, Nicole was a marvelous addition to our day and captured every beautiful moment in pictures that our family and friends are still raving about months later!

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy with the pictures Andrea took of us on one wedding we worked together! Thanks to those pictures we got to book so many other weddings to play at. Sometimes photographers don’t pu to much attention to the musicians, understandably so, however it’s so helpful to all vendors at the wedding to be able to get a little footage to promote the work we do.

THE HOLY GRAIL OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS. Truly the best experience and photographer I could have asked for. This young woman is highly artistic, professional, hard working, and goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best photos and session experience. She has taken my graduation photos, engagement photos, and now wedding photos. She offers great customizable package deals well worth your money. She asks all the right questions to ensure you get the photos you want. She arrives early, drives or travels to any lengths, and delivers her photos early. She makes you feel comfortable, brings out the natural candid side of you (and your man for those of you with shy and camera timid men like mine). She captures all the important moments during your event and offers a second shooter for extra coverage. I could not have asked for a better photographer or experience. What an artist.
