Carsten Tice Photography
Aliso Viejo, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

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. Real talk: I was a 911 dispatcher for a decade so I know how to make people feel calm when things get dicey.

Abby Taylor Photography

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

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

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

My wife and I could not have asked for two better people to join us on our wedding day than Diana and Isiah. Diana is honestly a magician with a camera and made us look stunning but also feel comfortable in front of the camera. We were also shook when she gave us a “sneak peak” album of a good amount of photos within 24 hours. Both Diana and Isiah were patient and helpful when creating the timeline and ceremony. There are so many things to worry over on your wedding day, so do yourself a favor and hire Love and Latitudes and it’s one less thing you have to worry about!

Orange, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

I'll keep this short and sweet because truly, it's not about me. I'm here to get to know you and understand you. I'm a mom to my sweet baby boy, a wife to my college sweetheart, and my passion for my work comes from one place — getting to know you, understand you, and photograph your love with integrity.

I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her team!! She did our engagement photos and our wedding day photography, and I truly believe both experiences would not have been the same without her. During our engagement photos, she had such a calming presence that made us feel so comfortable. She really got to know us, as people and friends, which helped us relax in front of the camera! So then, on our wedding day, when she came through the door of the bridal suite, I instantly relaxed. One thing that I had talked with her about beforehand was capturing not just wedding portraits, but pictures that we could look back on and remember the feeling of that day… And boy did she and her team deliver! Every time I look at our wedding photos, I remember the joy and love that was surrounding us on that day and I can’t thank her enough for that! All that PLUS, she has the most beautiful editing of any photographer I’ve seen out there AND got our photos back to us quicker than I ever expected! 100000/10 recommend Sarah Yates Photography!!

Hi, I'm Erin, and I LOVE WEDDINGS. Photographing weddings is my literal dream job. My love language is gifts (both giving and receiving). It's a gift--isn't it?--that God gave me this business to combine my artist's eye, desire to serve, and absolute exuberance meeting strangers. I am honored to receive. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

Awarded Best of Zola
Erin is hands down the absolute best! From the moment we booked her she made every minute of our engagement and wedding feel special and as stress-free as possible. Erin is extremely responsive and professional, but also brings a sense of fun and personalization to the table, which we greatly appreciated. Our engagement and wedding photos are absolutely stunning and we feel very grateful we have these photos to cherish for the rest of our lives. She exceeded all expectations with her perfect combination of candid and classic posed photos. Our families were blown away when they saw our wedding photos- they can't wait to order prints! In addition to her excellent work, Erin herself adds so much positivity and thoughtfulness to the entire experience. Our families and friends fell in love with her and were ecstatic to have her as a part of our intimate wedding. I really can't say enough about Erin's amazing work, level or professionalism and organization, and the amount of kindness and thought she'll put into capturing your entire wedding experience. Our wedding would not have been the same without Erin. We can't wait to book her again to capture our lives' next big adventure!

I care about eternalizing your story, no matter your race, gender, sexuality or body type — i’m here for you.

We both are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but she made us feel so comfortable and confident in what we were doing. Not only is Ria the BIGGEST hype girl, but she is also kind, professional, and extremely talented. We just received a few sneak peeks after our wedding this past weekend and were amazed at how perfectly she was able to capture every tiny detail and special moment. My husband and I will cherish the photos that she took for years to come. Hire this girl, you won't regret it!!

For us, it is all about documenting your day as it unfolds. We are believers that the best photographs come from letting everything flow. We don't believe in interrupting special moments to get a safe (posed) photo. On the contrary, we capture all moments: the fun, the crazy, the unexpected. We will get your dad in tears when he sees you in your wedding gown, and will also take your nephew in the middle of a tantrum. All that is part of your story. When you see your photos in 5 years, you will remember how your special day FELT and not only how it looked. You don't have to worry about photos, you just have to enjoy your day at the fullest.

Fernanda at Eyeblink is a total professional and she knows exactly how to give you space to enjoy to the moment and capture it as it's happening. We organized some portraits with family and friends but mostly she documented our wedding as it truly unfolded. When I look back at our pictures, I'm immediately transported to that exact moment and feel all the incredible feelings all over again. I couldn't be happier with her work. Highly recommend!

She helped direct some poses because we are awkward (LOL) and caught some really nice candid shots . Bottom line is that I couldn’t have asked for better photographer !! I receive so many compliments on the engagement photos , some look like they’re straight from a magazine :) thank you , nadia !! You’re the best ! :) here them, you won’t regret it !

I help you through the process step-by-step with location recommendations, local vendor recommendations, excursion and activity ideas, timeline planning, and more. You can find more about adventure elopements and myself + get in touch with me about your elopement vision through my website!

My husband and I had initially planned to do the big wedding thing, but after I came across Jackie I was SOLD on the idea of eloping somewhere beautiful & forgetting everything else. Photos meant more to me than anything else going in and jackie is worth every penny we’ve spent with her. She helped us completely plan the best day ever and I couldn’t imagine having done it without her expertise. I had no clue about permits, where to start with choosing a location, etc. and she went above and beyond to send me a customized list of recommendations on locations + info on each (I would love never even thought of most of them), ideas of things to include, how to customize our day, etc. I could go on and on, but long story short we are just so grateful that we came across Wild Honey Photo and she walked us through planning our elopement and made sure we had the best day ever and the photos to last a lifetime.

"Who's that girl, it's Jess!" Hey guys, I'm Jess! I love all things New Girl, The Legend of Zelda, and Broadway Musicals! I like to describe myself as Jessica Day, minus the really talented singing voice, but just overall kind of quirky and nerdy. I love capturing love stories, and fan girling hard core over all things wedding! If you need someone who is going to help you walk through your planning process, I'm your girl! You can also catch me binge eating tacos and ice cream while editing until 3am!

My wife and I live in Chicago, but did engagement photos with Jessica in Orange County and loved the experience so much that we flew her out for our wedding! Jessica was so much fun and made us feel SO comfortable! She made sure I wasn’t stressed about our timeline as we planned and on the day of the wedding. We loved getting our same night previews and were able to use them to create custom thank you cards early to get ahead on sending out thank yous to our guests. All of our friends can’t stop complimenting our photos and we can’t wait to work with Jessica again in the future!

I’ve worked with Miku for two photo shoots, for my graduation and engagement. Both final products were spectacular and they’re worth more than I paid for. Overall, she is a talented photographer! She is so good at capturing the moment, so her work takes me back to and reminds me the moment vividly. Also, she is competent in catching what her clients want and also excel in understanding photography trends. During the photo shoots, she’s made good & precise instructions for posing and those kept me relax and be natural in front of camera for the whole time. I’d recommend her 120% for not only engage/wedding photo but also for any occasion you want your precious moment to be captured!

Our first look was most important to us. All our photos were delivered on time and told our wedding story like fine art.

I am Ashley Strong Smith, the very passionate, sincere and grateful soul behind these very time capsules witnessed within this space. Although I’ve been shooting for over a decade, ASP launched full time in April of 2015 as an all encompassing business and became a Corporation - Strong Smith, Inc. in 2018. Since then, I’ve been beyond blessed to : - Document nearly 450 sessions - Document over a 100 weddings - Receive almost 250 FIVE STAR reviews on multiple platforms - Published nearly two dozen times

While Ashley and I attended the same high school, I originally reconnected with her after I saw that she photographer another high school friend’s wedding. I started following her photography on Instagram well before I met my now husband. When my husband and I began dating and I knew I would marry him one day, I knew I had to have Ashley be our photographer. Not even a few weeks after being engaged I reached out to Ashley to connect and discuss hiring her as our wedding photographer. And honestly, it was the best decision we made for our wedding other than marrying each other. Both my husband and I are very camera shy and hate having our photos taken, but Ashley made us so comfortable it was like we were hanging out and catching up with a close friend rather than having someone take pictures of us. Her bright and natural photography style is exactly what we were looking for in a society where highly edited and photoshopped styles are popular. From our engagement shoot in the San Bernardino Mountains to our wedding at Lake San Marcos, Ashley embraced us and the natural scenes around us which is exactly what we wanted with an outdoor wedding in November. She worked diligently with us on our timeline to make sure we wouldn’t miss the sunset with our winter wedding and on the day of the wedding she made sure we were happy and as relaxed as we could be, that we had a drink in our hands post ceremony and even brought me an extra slice of cake after our cake cutting. Not even a week after the wedding she had sneak peak of photos ready for us to look at. There is not a picture she took and presented to us that we don’t love. I would love for her to photograph every major moment in our married life together and highly recommend her.

I became a wedding photographer in a not-so-usual way. I remember telling my girl scout leader that I actually hated any arts & craft we did. Fast forward to many years of sports, and the pivotal moment of entering college, I switched to photography one semester in after realizing my current Marine Biology major was not for me and decided that was where I was headed. It landed me in wedding photography after a few classmates asked me to shoot their weddings. And since I’m a romantic and all…it was a perfect fit from the start. Something you should know about me is that I love all people, deeply. “Love your neighbor” is what I strive for.

Katie is one of the amazing few photographers I refer in Souther California. Her unique style and professionalism make her stand out above the rest. I love working with Katie any chance I get!

My husband and I are a team and have always been drawn to watching old home videos. We love the nostalgia, the time that is still present through documentation. 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.

Welcome to my Wedding Photography page - I’m Leanna, and I’m a wedding addict. I didn’t see it coming, but I fell into the abyss and now there’s no stopping it. 12 years ago I began selling wedding gowns. It was innocent at first- I had no feelings towards the gowns, they all looked the same to me. And either way, I was already in love with Photography. But soon enough, I fell hard. I began playing “love songs radio” and preaching the obvious differences between Alencon, Chantilly, & French Laces. My bridal affair continued with passion while I continued to invest into my first love, Photography.

They were PHENOMENAL. After having some doubts upon other reviews I’ve skimmed and thinking the price was too good to be true. Eivans has proven that they have gone more than out of their way to make sure that I should not have had doubts in the first place. The team I had on my day were SUPER. It was so assuring to know the team I had knew each other and have worked with each other previously. I am always the one to be taking the photos and videos, capturing my friends and family‘s moments, but never really had to many of my own. It was such a pleasure to have not a worry in the world and have someone else capture my special day. Gaby, Steven, and Lene went truly above and beyond to capture our big day. Every step along the way my team made it so easy and the team at Eivan’s really personally assured me that it would run smoothly. So lucky and blessed to have gone with Eivan’s.

From start to finish, Carly and Kasey were absolutely amazing! We first met with Carly back in 2018 and booked her for our 2020 wedding. Because if COVID, we changed our date three times and Carly was incredibly flexible and accommodating during the whole process. Her availability calendar being right on her Instagram made it so easy to choose our new date (keeping Carly and Kasey as our photographers was our #1 priority when rescheduling). She quickly sent updated contracts and was just so kind and understanding. Our engagement photo session was fun and Carly made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Some of the images from that session will forever be my favorites of us. When it came time for the wedding, Carly was critical in helping me come up with a timeline. She knew our vision and offered suggestions and locations for pictures. On the actual wedding day, she and Kasey were amazing. We expected it to rain all day so they were super flexible about making last minute changes to the locations and timeline to accommodate the possible rain. The sneak peeks we’ve gotten so far have been perfection and I cannot wait to see the rest! Carly and Kasey are not just exceptionally talented photographers- they are good, kind people. They make you feel comfortable and like you’ve known them your whole life. I could not have imagined better people to know or to take our wedding photos.

Santa Monica, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Aliso Viejo, CA

My name is Gabbie, and I'm a wedding photographer for the couples who seek a non-traditional approach to their big day. I'm a sucker for a candid moment, intimate ceremonies, and black-and-white images from the 1980s. My work is photojournalistic — I approach weddings through a documentary lens, telling the truth with beautiful and timeless imagery.

Awarded Best of Zola
The professionalism, raw talent, and sweet demeanor are only a few of the exquisite gifts Gabbie offers. If you are looking for a photographer who is the complete package, look no further. When selecting wedding vendors, every blog post will tell you that choosing your photographer is one of the most important (if not the most important). However, little information is provided after that tidbit, which can be daunting for an excited (albeit overwhelmed) bride who wants every detail of their wedding to be perfect. Sean, my now husband, and I had selected our venue, The 1909 in Topanga Canyon, CA., and our coordinator, Allison, with West Events LA, provided us with a list of her preferred vendors -- insert us coming across Gabbie. I remember going to her website, scrolling through her work, and being enamored with how each photo captured a different emotion and feeling. We both immediately knew that from looking at her work alone, we wanted our photos to look and feel the same. After sending an inquiry and coordinating a call, Gabbie & I spoke on the phone for close to an hour about what we had in mind for our wedding, and I remember it all clicking when Gabbie described her work as "documentary" style. Sean and I knew we didn't want a videographer for our wedding, so Gabbie's techniques and overall vision aligned perfectly with what Sean and I wanted. We also opted to do a round of engagement photos with Gabbie 5 months before our wedding, where she came into our home to take photos of us in our most comfortable and natural state (chasing our dogs around the yard) and then for a shoot at a local winery that we love to go to. Not only did we have such a fun and great experience, but we also felt so comfortable and relaxed with Gabbie. We almost forgot we were there to have our photos taken! We received the gallery back shortly after and were so thrilled. Fast-forward to our wedding, we had hired Gabbie a second shooter for 8 hours. They met us at the venue for the final getting-ready details around 1 pm and stayed through to a good portion of the dance floor, around 9 pm. They arrived promptly and were even extra helpful with Sean when getting his suit on! While those details may seem minor to some, it was that unique care and attention from both Gabbie and her second shooter that made Sean & I, and all of our guests, feel so beautiful and confident to be themselves. When Sean and I got our gallery back, we spent a solid three hours scrolling through every captured moment, laughing, crying, and squealing with excitement. I am not exaggerating when I say that seeing the captured images and how Gabbie so beautifully arranged them in the album was purely magic. Any time we go through the album, we genuinely feel transported back to that day, and there is no doubt in my mind it is because of Gabbie's pure mastery of her craft. As part of her thorough questionnaire, one of the questions was what percentage of digital-to-film prints we would like, and for ours, we chose 50:50. I'm so glad we opted for film, and I almost wish we had had more because these photos are indeed what dreams are made of. The icing on the cake, Gabbie also wrote us an adorable card after the wedding, which included 3 of the film prints. Sean & I will forever be grateful to Gabbie for her work and friendship. We love you!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Cheers Babe / Jess as our wedding photographer was hands down the absolute best wedding decision we made! I honestly think Jess might be an angel because that's how big of an impact she had on our day. First off, Jess is just a kind, caring, funny and bubbly human being. She makes the awkward feelings of being in front of a camera melt away in 2.5 seconds without even trying. Jess also has impeccable taste and was such a good sounding board for ideas I had on our day of (ie. that probably won't look the way you way you think it will or yes, love that so much!!). Her responsiveness and support put me at ease so more times than I can count. Jess also took time to get to know my husband and I so it was that much easier to feel like ourselves around her which TOTALLY shows in our pictures. On top of all that, Jess was amazing at working with my other vendors, managing details, and of course was on time and on the money with everything she said she'd do. She even had a sneak peak of photos for us to look at before we even boarded a plan to our honeymoon. So on to the actual pictures themselves...this is probably a bit TMI for a wedding review but I was very insecure about getting my pictures taken for my engagement shoot and wedding. Jess was able to not only make me forget about my insecurities during our first session / engagement photos but then literally brought me to tears as I saw how stunning our photos turned out. Every ounce of insecurity I had was gone after that and it's entirely because of Jess. She was a blast at our wedding. All of our guests loved her and you can actually feel the vibe of our special day when you look at any of the photographs. We will never have enough words to express our gratitude to Cheers Babe but we can say BOOK HER AS SOON AS YOU CAN! Photographers with this kind of talent are one in a trillion!!

I set my mind and soul to this craft about 5 years ago and my heart just grew with every couple I met and every story I learned and told through my favorite medium of photography. It is the absolute best feeling being able to photograph the genuine love and happiness a couple expels through their wedding day. Nothing can beat the emotions and the charm of that. It's an honor to be able to translate those emotions onto images so people can look back through them and get back those feelings years and decades later.

When my wife and I were getting married we knew that one of the main priorities was to have an amazing professional photographer to capture all of the important moments so that we can enjoy the day without worry. The first vendor we hired was our photographer nearly a year before our wedding and felt comfortable that we locked that down. To our dismay, less than a month before our wedding date, our photographer had injured themselves and was no longer able to shoot at our wedding. We contacted our wedding planner, worried and full of anxiety, and she highly recommended a photographer she had worked with in the past and the rest is history. We are so glad that we found Fatima, even if it was due to unfortunate circumstances. She was incredibly communicative, organized, professional, and the pictures she took captured all of our wonderful moments perfectly. She swooped in at the last minute and saved the day. We would highly recommend Fatima and wouldn't hesitate to use her again if we need professional photos taken in the future.

It's not often that you come across a wedding photographer who can capture the essence of the day as perfectly as Irina did for us. The creativity and fun that she brought to the wedding were palpable, making her a hit with everyone who attended.

From the table settings to the rings to the families, Irina was able to capture every moment with a level of skill and expertise that is truly spectacular. It's not easy to capture the joy and love that are present at a wedding, but Irina did it effortlessly, resulting in a set of photographs that truly capture the essence of our special day.

My husband and I are so happy we chose Dean to be our wedding photographer. He left us an amazing gallery of 700 photos to choose from. He has an excellent attention to detail. He came to our venue the day before the ceremony at the time of the wedding to make sure he got the lighting and all of the posed photo spots picked out. He was extremely fairly priced, and did great work with all of the photos we received back. He communicated with us often in the months leading up to the wedding as well as after when we were getting the photos back, even offering some prints to us. He was professional, fun, and friendly. Dean went above and beyond with our wedding photos, and we would be happy to recommend him to anyone needing a professional photographer.

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

We did a lot of shopping around for our engagement photos, and we decided to go with Russ. When we got the photos back, we knew we would never use another photographer in the bay area again. The photoshoot felt so casual, but the resulting photos looked carefully crafted to perfection. When the circumstances led to us doing a zoom elopement, we jumped at the opportunity to book Russ again. A consistent experience, with some of the most beautiful photos we've ever seen. It's hard to believe they were taken right outside our door. He has a talent for turning just about any location into an incredible work of art. During these crazy times, it's also worth noting that he wore 2 masks and was very respectful of our space to make sure everyone felt safe. 10/10 will book again.

From the moment I meet my clients, I want to know as much as I can. Getting closer to a client really transcends into the photographs I am taking of them and their special day.

Working with Toby has been an amazing experience, we have enjoyed every session! He has so much creativity, direction, and passion for what he does behind the camera. You know he wants to get the best shot for you every time, and he will. So far we have had our engagement photos (with our dog), a session when we got our marriage license/ceremony downtown county admin building at the harbor, and soon our wedding with Toby booked.

Quality: Jay was excellent. He captured so many great moments, great candids. Anything he lined up took a beautifully natural, but edgy look. He's great at this and it shows in his work and the way he makes his subjects feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. Responsiveness: he responded to all of our inquiries immediately, the weeks and months leading up to the wedding, until the day of, always communicating. Then kept us posted on the status of the photos after... which, by the way, were done within TWO WEEKS of the wedding. He even sent us some sneak peeks a few days after so we could share on social media. Professionalism: we contacted Jay to do a boudoir shoot prior to the wedding, which is always odd and a bit nerve-wracking bringing a stranger into such a personal setting, but he was professional to the extreme, great coaching, made us laugh and feel comfortable and had us looking our best. Value: he was with us for the entire day of the wedding, trying to catalog every moment as it happened. For the price, for his style and incredible skill, for the speed of return, for HOW MANY photos we got back (over 1,000!), his value can't be beat. Flexibility: he shot our private boudoir (indoors), pre-wedding (outdoors), wedding with friends and family, around-town reception on Halloween night - vast array of settings and styles with seamless transition. The dude is just that good. You're done shopping around.

I have a love for travel and I'm obsessed with my dog and two cats. I enjoy lots of raw, sassy humor and a little bit of sarcasm. Tequila is my go-to... all the margaritas please! The desert is where you’ll find me on any given day. There’s something so magical about that place, am I right? I love learning the little weird things about my couples and bringing out the corkiness. We all have it! If you like what you’re reading, maybe I'm the one!

Being in the production industry for more than 10 years, we've been through a lot, we've seen a lot, and we've captured a lot of beautiful moments on tape for our past clients who have become a part of our family.

Marry Me Studio' crew is really on point. I am a photographer myself and I know when I see well shot picture. I could clearly see the quality of the equipment they used and the experienced background of the photographer when I saw their portfolio, and that was the main reason why I chose them. Plus, the price is an absolute bargain. They are the ones!

Hello! My name is Gui Bittencourt, and I have been servicing Southern California since 2018. My love for photography started during childhood. Playing with my grandma's film camera opened my eyes to new possibilities. After leaving Brazil, I decided to become a photographer and use my photographic eye to capture people's special days. Since then, I have had the honor of photographing people from all over the world. If you're looking for a photographer, find someone whose work you love, but as important is their personality and the energy they'll bring to your special day. Feel free to contact me for more information. I'll be happy to help!

It was mine and my fiancé’s first time taking professional photos and honestly I was really nervous because I’m not a very photogenic person, but Gui’s calming presence and professionalism put us at ease, his calming voice and easy to follow instructions helped us with taking our first photos professionally, Gui’s eye for photography is amazing and the incredible shots he takes are truly an artwork. I highly recommend hiring Gui as your photographer for any event as he mostly dips in almost all types of events! Thank you again Gui! You’re an amazing photographer and person.

  • Serves Aliso Viejo, CA

Hello! My name is Brenda and I've resided in SoCal all of my life. Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
I love photos and photography was one of my must have, high quality items for our wedding. Our original photographer had to back out (with plenty of time and notice) so we found ourselves back at the drawing board several months before the wedding. I found Brenda and loved that her images showed a diverse clientele - as a plus size bride with a SO over 6’ tall, that was something that really mattered to me. By the end of our Zoom meeting I wanted to hug her! I felt confident she was the right fit. When the big day came around, not only was her presence instantly calming (things had already been going wrong that morning) but she was incredibly helpful every step of the way, including trying to find a dropped earring, closing my necklace because everyone’s nails were too long, making sure I had space to take a break when my nerves overwhelmed me. We just got some of our sneak peeks in and wow…I’m crying all over again. She captured moments between my SO and I so beautifully, you can feel the love we have for each other. It sounds cliche, but it’s true! Not only were we pleased with Brenda, our guests and wedding party all had such kind things to say about her - how many weddings have you gone to and complimented the photographer, as a guest?! If her style is one that you like, don’t hesitate to hire Brenda. I can’t wait to take more photos with her as we grow old. She was an important part of our day and, for me, the best person to have by my side throughout the chaotic day. I was so happy to have her as part of our adventurers club.
