Briana Purser Photography

Austin, TX
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Santee, CA

Honest storytelling meets editorial portraiture is the core of what I do. I love a powerful portrait as much as I love real, honest exchanges between loved ones. The big moments get all the attention but what really fills my cup is the small, fleeting moments in between. Your wedding day is just 24 short hours & I want you to relax, be present, & soak it all up. Trust that I will be your eyes & ears, observing it all & documenting your day as it unfolds organically. Because in the end, your photographs will be the memory you are left with & the best ones will not only remind you of what the day looked like, but what it FELT like to be there.

Briana did an amazing job capturing special moments from our wedding. We couldn't be happier with our photos! Nothing felt posed or overproduced, and it resulted in natural, artful photos that beautifully captured all of the emotions of the day. Briana and her team also had such a calming presence on the day of the wedding, and it made me feel at ease, as I don't always love being in the spotlight or being photographed. Briana is incredibly talented, and we're so grateful that she was part of capturing our wedding day!

I would highly recommend working with her to capture your wedding day.

Haley second shot a wedding for me this month and she was an absolute dream come true: communicative, upbeat, and excited to be there. She stayed on top of the schedule, kept in detailed touch with me leading up to the day, and was very good at checking in with me consistently while we were shooting together. Her kind and upbeat energy was exactly what I was looking for in a collaborator, and her work is beyond gorgeous to boot. I am so grateful to have her on my team, and can't wait for so many more adventures together!

I have been a wedding photographer for 9 years. In high school I used my dads film camera to photograph my friends skateboarding, I loved it! But I always wanted to skate more than take photos. Instead of shooting my friends jumping off of stairs, I always had my camera on me for the in between moments. I would photograph my friends, mostly getting into trouble or messing around. I have always been drawn to the connection we had as friends, and loved documenting it. that is were my love for documenting couples steamed from. capturing those in between moments you both cherish.

Cole is wonderful to work with! We enjoy him professionally, and his talent and skills create beautiful images for our clients!

San Jose, CA

  • Serves Santee, CA

Nice to meet you, I am Sharyce. You are here which means you already know I like to take pictures. But WHY I take pictures is a different story. For nearly a decade I called myself a photographer because I picked up my camera occasionally and made some extra cash here and there. A version of myself now likes to look back and cringe at the photographer from a decade ago. However she (me) set the foundation for my career path today. When I became a mother I found that pictures had much more meaning behind them. Yes, I am going to go into the stereotypical photographers speil about “visual storytelling”.

I wish I could leave 10 stars. Sharyce has a knack for capturing those split second moments that you'll cherish for a lifetime. Her calming and friendly demeanor is exactly what you need to get those honest and emotional photos. I would recommend her to anyone! Stop your search, you've found the talent you're looking for.

Call me your candid emotion curator! I consider myself to be an illustrator of love stories, here to capture your wedding day naturally as it unfolds! My style is a blend of curated candid moments and directing you through poses that are natural and authentic to you and your relationship.

We feel so fortunate to have found Jasmine! We clicked with her personality immediately and felt like we could truly be ourselves, which is so important to capture in photos. We don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera, but she made it easier and was able to fool the world into thinking we might be photogenic. Jasmine took our engagement photos first, which helped us get to know each other, and we had a low-pressure opportunity to get the hang of the process before the big day. And when it came to the wedding day, Jasmine and her husband were so on top of it. The turnaround to get the full gallery was so quick and it was such a joy to relive the memories through the beautiful photos. They captured so many key moments perfectly, especially the candids. The wedding day was such a blur for us, so this photo gallery is precious. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Not only did we find a truly wonderful photographer, but we feel we found a friend.

In this crazy and beautiful life, I'm caught by the moments. I'm a photojournalist and I mainly photograph weddings and families. You're probably drawn to my work because of real stories and moments. You will not hear me asking you to "pretend" to put on earrings, shoes or a fake smile or telling you what you "should" do and where to look. (Well, except for portrait/group photos...) Your photos will not only tell your own unique story but will take you back to those genuine moments and emotions you felt. Seriously, wouldn't that be the absolute BEST way to re-live your life?

I run on shenanigans, sassiness, and an obscene amount of coffee. And I grew up in the mountains so that makes me a wildflower at heart and a mountain girl through and through. When we meet be prepared for me to crack jokes, laugh loudly, gesture wildly, and run full sprint towards something I think is pretty (while trying not to die). I believe in embracing life with a whole lot of weirdness, far too much smart-aleck humor, and every single ounce of fierce passion, obsessive gratitude, profound inspiration, and reckless joy that I can forcefully wring out of this adventure called life. So that's me.

Our inspiration to the way we photograph is similar to these home movies we grew up watching of our families. It’s the candid in between moments. The family and friends who haven’t seen one another in some time go in for a big warm embrace. It’s the group of cousins all about to cheers and take a celebratory drink together. It’s the tears and the laughter being captured when people think no one is looking. Genuine emotions. It’s what moves us. It’s what we live for.

I’ve taken photos for over 250 couples in 8 states and 7 countries over 6 years with 5 cameras for 1 reason: Memories matter. Your wedding day is the fastest day of your life. I'll freeze it for you and then I'll frame it for you. So you can feel it all over again. But choosing a photographer and then trusting them with once-in-a-lifetime moments is stressful. Nobody likes stressy things. I'll make sure the photography is the easiest part of your day.

My biggest passions are aesthetics and human connection...so weddings are naturally my favorite thing to photograph. After hundreds of weddings, I still find myself tearing up (or maybe a little more than tearing up) at almost every wedding I photograph. People describe me as being sweet and my work as having a delicate, elegant, feminine, and refined quality to it. I believe in authentic romance and real love. My favorite weddings are outdoors, featuring sweeping coastal backdrops, soaring redwoods, rolling hills, or gorgeous vineyards mixed with tastefully stylish decor - and always with a lot of love.

Right after graduating from CSU Sacramento in 2012 (with a BA in Photography, might I add!), I did photography as a side-hustle while working a couple of various jobs: part-time as a Summer camp counselor and full-time at a medical device company. After getting married in 2016, I moved to Modesto with my husband since he was working there at the time. Because of the move, I had to leave my jobs in the East Bay. I took this move to the Central Valley as a sign that I should do photography full-time. So, since 2017, I've been a full-time wedding photographer. We are now in beautiful Sonoma County!

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.

We had decided on a "planned elopement" with just the two of us at the DC Superior Court. Josh captured our experiences from start to finish. He created terrific posed photos that as well as encouraging us to laugh, joke and be ourselves. His recommendations for photo backgrounds are memorable in an architectural manner and put the focus on us as a couple. Highly recommend for those of you on a 2nd or 3rd marriages where you want memorable but understated documentation.

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marilyn is a fantastic and compassionate photographer. She is incredibly kind and is great with helping you feel at ease if this is your first time being photographed and you feel awkward or don't know how to play it cool. She can give subtle posing suggestions if you have no idea what to do. Not only is she the kind of person you would want to be friends with and have at your wedding just to bring some good vibes and fun to the party, but her photography is excellent and you will be extremely happy with her work. We booked her for our engagement shoot and for our wedding in the upcoming year. Our first meet with her was over video call which felt much more personable than other photographer meetings we had had that were only over email or phone call. She is very upfront with pricing and upon booking met with us to start brainstorming engagement shoot locations. We had some locations in mind and she helped us decide what would be most manageable. If you didn't have set locations in mind she definitely would be able to provide suggestions. She put up with many of our endless questions leading up to the shoot including what to wear, best order of locations, and my very specific (mildly difficult) aesthetic requests when it came to one of our locations. The gallery she provides you with after the shoot is very easy to use and she graciously cropped one of the photos we plan to use for our invitations. We can't wait to work with her for our wedding.

We can’t even tell you how happy we are that we chose Willow Photo Co. to document our wedding day (both photo and video), as well as our engagement shoot. When we started looking for wedding photographers, we quickly fell in love with their beautiful work. We loved that their style captures true life and isn’t dramatically dark or overly washed out (as seems to be trendy with other photographers we’d seen). From our very first call with Ryan, we felt like we’d known him for years. He and his wife, Jenn, and our videographer, Hayden, were incredibly friendly and fun and made us feel so calm and comfortable. You can tell they love what they do. Just as importantly, Ryan and Jenn are extremely punctual and detail-oriented. The last thing you'll have to worry about with them is chasing them down over unanswered questions (which is truly priceless). And then of course their work…magazine-worthy. They truly captured everything, from gorgeous shots at sunset to small moments with our moms. It means so much to us to be able to relive the day with our families through our photos and stunning video (complete with impressive drone aerial shots!) All in all, we could not have asked for a better team to help make our wedding our best day ever.

When searching for maternity photographers for our second child, we knew we needed someone with patience and who was also flexible and made the process easy.

The final product was back to us SO quick and they were so far beyond our expectations! Literally the photos turned out amazing, her editing style is really attractive and fitting for the season. We got a huge canvas made of a family photo the next day and it now sits proudly in our home.

I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

Jenna from the beginning was so accommodating and so easy to work with. She had amazing ideas when my husband and I had no idea what to do and really found ways of capturing our individuality. I truly couldn’t imagine anyone else to have been there to capture this day. She made everyone feel at ease. ADDITIONALLY, whenever anyone wasn’t doing what they were supposed to be doing, she took charge and made sure we were on schedule. Loved working with Jenna and seriously can’t recommend her enough!!!

The first time I saw Lauren’s website/Instagram and saw she shot in film, I knew I had to have her shoot our day. Not only is she super cool, she is incredibly talented. She made us feel so comfortable and beautiful day of. Having your photo taken can feel awkward but with Lauren’s direction we had a blast. Every image she delivered is beautiful! I keep showing them to everyone. Even those who do not ask. I cannot recommend her enough! Her sharing my love for one direction was just the cherry on top.

We had an INCREDIBLE experience with Abby from our engagement shoot, to a very last minute boudoir shoot she let me swap out for my bridal session, and the most amazing shots from our wedding day. She was communicative via email and kept in touch throughout the year. Abby made us feel so comfortable with her hilarious photo prompts and experience she brought to each session, I knew we were in good hands after our very first time together. If you’re thinking about booking M&M for next year—Do it!!! You will be so happy you have her on your vendor team.

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

Emma Lee Photography was added to our recommended vendor list before I started at Ray's and throughout the years has become one of our favorites. Emma's professionalism, easy going nature, and dedication to her clients and partners makes her a dream to work with. And of course her photos are gorgeous- always such vibrant, rich colors and the unpredictability that comes with an outdoor space never trips her up. 5 stars! Emma Lee Photography rocks!

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

We hired Loren for our rustic wedding on the Mendocino Coast. She did a fantastic job and we couldn't have been happier with our decision to hire Loren. She was a great communicator, easy to work with, flexible, professional, and an all around lovely person.

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

If you have spent even just a few minutes checking out McKenna's work, it is obvious how good she is at getting her subjects comfortable! Creating images that are playful and honest. Well crafted and timeless. Intimate and irresistibly fun. But what you may not be able to see through the limitations of your computer screen, is how she exudes positivity, enthusiasm, and carries a genuine curiosity. Does this sound like someone who you would want at your wedding? I hope so. I have had the pleasure of working along side her while capturing video and I'd happily have her at every wedding taking the photos! Hire her to tell your story.

I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy?

I believe that photographs are keys that can unlock the past after years have gone by, and that looking at the past is how we move towards the future.

She maintains the utmost professionalism and is friendly and hospitable toward her clientele and vendors. The images she captures embody the beauty and precious emotion of the day. As she shoots, Meghan makes sure to capture everything, ensuring that every special moment becomes a memory in her client's photo album.
