My name is Morgan Belieu (she/her), the owner and photographer here at Morgan Belieu Photography.

But hey, don't let my current location or specialties prevent you from reaching out, I am always eager to travel and experience new places and people.

Awarded Best of Zola
There aren’t enough stars or positive reviews to accurately describe Morgan and her work. We are repeat customers and always will be. Morgan made having pictures taken of my husband and I so easy. She gave us lots of fun little prompts to do so that our pictures had authentic smiles from laughing and giggling. The pictures all turned out so natural and captured all the true happiness there. She was very professional from beginning to end, but also extremely personable. Morgan was on time and so efficient. She whizzes around and gets every last detail you could imagine. I have nothing but positive things to say about her. I recommended her 3 years ago, I recommend her today and I’m positive I will recommend her for years to come! She is worth her weight in gold!

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

Victoria Bremner Photography

Las Vegas, NV
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Aptos, CA for additional fees

I'm a Las Vegas based professional wedding photographer, working with couples from all over the world, as well as a travelling wedding photographer. Along with adoring weddings, I'm a serious hockey fan, with silver hair, and a terribly awkward smile. When I’m not photographing people, I love photographing Lego Minifigs on location, Darth Vader being a favorite (and personal hero) but I like expanding my collection of character portraits. I have a wicked sense of humor, a weakness for Rom Com’s & Spanish red wine. In my personal time I work closely with a local dog rescue, as a foster home and photographer, helping find their furever homes.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Victoria for the wedding preparation pictures. She was extremely professional, and took some emotional moment shots that will be cherished for life. Her sense of detail is GREAT! She knows what to capture like a primary instinct and this makes her "eye" exceptional. Extremely easy to communicate with, amazing pictures, sweet and fun to be around. Fast editing, fast delivery, fast shipping of prints! You brought real magic to our day, Victoria!

Awarded Best of Zola
Viktoriia was truly incredible to work with! I had first discovered her after she was the photographer for a friend’s wedding, and I absolutely loved her pictures. So when it came time for my husband and I to pick a photographer, I knew Viktoriia had to be it! She was so easy & nice to work with from the very beginning! She was always available to answer any questions through the wedding planning process. Our pictures are perfect, and I could not love them anymore! There are so many beautiful candid pictures that I really love, but even for the more posed pictures, they look really natural and effortless. It's also super easy to be able to go online, look at all of your pictures and then download them. Working with Viktoriia was truly a gift, not only is she incredibly talented in her art, but she was so nice and easy going through the entire process! I will recommend her to any future friends/family who are getting married!

Klein Photography was so much fun! I always wanted to do a Trash-The-Dress kind of photoshoot. Katy handled the wedding day beautifully and our photos were amazing. She even stayed late to get the afterparty and put up with my "photographer" uncle. I scheduled a Trash-The-Dress session after our honeymoon which was a blast!

Circle Pines, MN
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Aptos, CA for additional fees

Authentic moments are what set our hearts on fire! We strive to capture you exactly as you are and bring out your personality. Think of us as your best friends that you haven't gotten to meet yet - we are known for dancing with our couples at receptions, snuggling babies to get a few solo pictures of the parents, and becoming lifelong friends with our seniors. We cannot wait to meet you!

Awarded Best of Zola
TL;DR: 15/10 -- She simplifies EVERYTHING about wedding planning AND takes the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. She will be taking our pictures for the rest of our lives. They are incredible. Kyra from beginning to end made everything absolute perfection. The pictures, my sanity, basically everything. We brought her to Crozet, VA for our engagement photos and our big day. Pre-Engagement get to know you session: We face-timed for 2.5 hours (not required just happened naturally). She cares about everything and anything you want to share and supports your vision. Engagement Session: She took the time (right after having a baby nonetheless) to come to us and make sure we were happy and comfortable in every way. Kyra got to know Dan (my husband) better and is the only person to this day that can make him smile naturally for pictures. Planning: Kyra provided anything and everything I needed or didn't know I needed. Refined/recommended timelines, pictures, hair styles, dresses, snacks for getting ready, laughter, you name it, she did it. If I had another vendor I needed a second opinion on, she reviewed their work. If I wasn't sure on chicken or crab cakes, she knew what would be a crowd pleaser. Basically she had wisdom and advice well beyond her years to accompany her incredible talent. Weekend of: Kyra and Heather came out early and scoped out the best locations for everything indoors and outside at the exact time the ceremony would be held to make sure the lighting was perfect. Day of: I would have fallen apart without her. Every picture she took was of real, candid, happy moments that my brain was too stressed to miss. When I ripped my dress, she and Heather whipped out sewing scissors to fix the problem. They kept the train moving and captured every moment beautifully. Best to have a photographer dancing with y'all to get the moment just right, and she does that. If I could give more stars I would.

I began my photography journey in 2008 and have been shooting ever since! My love of music and travel initially took me to Nashville, where I studied under some of the best celebrity and music photographers in the business. The City of Music lead me to tour with Jesse McCartney and shoot some amazing musicians including Blake Shelton, Outkast, and the Backstreet Boys (a personal childhood dream of mine). However, the mountains were calling (as they say), and I ended up moving back to Colorado, my home state, in 2015 to begin my journey documenting love in all its forms!

As someone who spends most of my time BEHIND the lens (I'm also a photographer) I was a little nervous getting in FRONT of it for our couples session... Shannon immediately crushed those nerves with her energy, excitement, and direction. My husband and I had an absolute BLAST frolicking around the Oregon Coast with her during our sunrise session. We had the privilege of getting to know Shannon and her husband in the days prior to our session and all I can say is they are such beautiful people - inside and out. The moments she captured for us are so true to who we are and I am forever grateful to have these memories.

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Working with Harrison is always a pleasure. He is prompt, professional, and delivers top-tier quality. When first starting out he was happy to provide us advice, and has provided technical assistance onsite on a number of occasions. You can't go wrong when collaborating with Harrison on an event, or on anything else.

I’m a small town girl living in the big city of San Diego. You know the saying, “Home is where the heart is?” For me it has two meanings. If home is a physical place, mine is the magical little town where I was born – Ojai, California. It is a place where people can breathe deep and feel the wholeness of their lives. It's a magical little valley of peace happiness. If home is truly where the heart is, then mine is my family. In 2016, I married my best friend and the father of our beautiful son and daughter. We are a squad of awesomeness and those three hold my heart in the palm of their hands.

I have worked with Morgan on multiple occasions and her ability to seamlessly flow through the day while being a photographer, constant helper, and team player is unmatched!

When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

I appreciate this lady so much. From beginning to after marriage. She has been there professionally and as a great friend to ease the stress that comes with a wedding. She was on point with meetings we had. If we got a little busy, she came to us. She is so wonderful. The day of the wedding. She showed up on time and honestly was the reason our wedding day ran smoothly. She understood our family (very stubborn people lol)and how to manage us to get these photos done in a secure time. As the groom, I normally want to get photos done with and eat. But with Aazaria, our pictures were done so professionally and with plenty of time for me to eat haha. I love this lady and thank her so much. She is a big part of my wedding day. And will be a part of our family forever.

Hi there! I'm Brayley, a full-time Traveling Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer who operates primarily in the Western United States, & I would LOVE to be your wedding photographer! 🫶🏼 I grew up & now live in the PNW with my loving spouse & our sweet pup, Forrest, but after doing my undergrad in AZ, I just knew I needed to spend at least part time there, too. I LOVE my work & am passionate about capturing life's precious milestones, & doing so in a way that feels natural & authentic to my clients. Although I love all photography, I specialize in wedding, lifestyle, & business photography with a natural, earthy, classic & candid style.

Brayley made the shoot so fun and easy and it was truly a joy to work with her. The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend booking with her!

She builds a relation with the couple so everyone is comfortable, and takes the time to get to know you. She asks for input each step of the way, and makes sure that the couples desired shots and ideas are clear to her. She kept us sane throughout the process, and took charge when needed.

Hiring a Wedding Photographer is tough—I get it. You need someone who is experienced and professional enough to handle any situation. This could be a sudden downpour on your wedding day or seamlessly diffusing tense moments between separated parents during family portraits. Most importantly, they do this with grace, oftentimes without you even noticing. More importantly than the behind the scenes things, a great Wedding Photographer will handle the grandparents with charm and class, and be a little goofy with the kids to create timeless and authentic portraits of your most cherished people.

Having Chris do our wedding was literally fate. We found out two days before the wedding that the photographer we booked would not be available due to a family emergency. Luckily, he connected us with Chris, who immediately did a call with us the next morning (the day before our wedding). Chris had been given our engagement photos, so he had a sense for our style, and he walked us through the day and the information he needed. Most importantly to us was to have our photographer take charge, and keep our families on task, while paying attention to the details so we didn't have to. To say that Chris did that would be an understatement. He arrived at the hotel even earlier than we asked, and immediately brought positive energy into the space. Once we moved to the venue, he efficiently directed our very lively friends and family through all of the poses and photos we wanted without us needing to say a word. My wife and I were truly able to just enjoy the day, knowing we'd get everything we asked for. Chris edits all of his photos individually by hand so that we got only the best, and he truly captured the New England fall essence. Chris gets our highest recommendation and we feel so lucky that we got to work with him!

Take a leap in crazy faith, and trust that you're right where He called you to be. Spending time behind the lens allows me to capture so many special memories, while also living in my purpose. I can't wait to have you become a part of this journey, and hope these are memories you will cherish for a lifetime. Let's make your 'remember when' moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
My maid of honor recommended Kiera for our wedding day. She said “she wants you to know she’s new.” After looking at her work on Facebook I thought “she doesn’t look new, her work is awesome” so we, so to say “took a chance”. My goodness, it was THE BEST decision I have ever made. Her work far exceeded expectations. She was so easy to work with. She was on top of the planning and all the fine details. I could go on and on about how amazing she was, but I’ll just say this… IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER TO CAPTURE THE MOST PRECIOUS MOMENTS IN LIFE, CHOOSE ENDLESS AUTUMN PHOTOGRAPHY. From the communication prior to the event, the knowledge on getting the perfect shot, up to the editing, and the extremely fast album release, you will NOT be disappointed.

My name is Helena, pronounced Ha-Leen-nuh (don't worry I get it all the time haha) I am a San Francisco native and ex-Silicon Valley techie who decided to take leap of faith (during the pandemic) to pursue my dreams of being a full-time Wedding Photographer. This journey has been SO wild, but I don't regret a minute of it. When you hire me, you hire not only a photographer, but a planner and a cheerleader as well ;) If you like dogs or cats, coffee (oat milk lattes FTW), thriving plants, outdoor adventures, dancing, and sunsets, I think we'll get along great ;)

Helena skillfully captured our most joyous and precious moments of our wedding day. She was everything we wished for in a wedding photographer and more! A unique vision. On multiple occasions, Helena would excitedly pose us in a certain position or she would run up some stairs to capture a certain angle. I knew I was watching an artist in her element. She is so stunningly creative in her use of the environment. My favorite example of this was when Helena had a whimsical idea to use the afternoon light through the window to cast a silhouette of us on the wall. The shot left us in awe. It is one of my favorites! The right time and place. Helena has a unique way of knowing what might happen next so she can position herself to capture subtle and sweet moments. For example, during the reception, right after we made our toast to all our guests, I sat back down next to my Mom who then leaned in for a quick hug and a kiss. I barely remembered it (was starving and a bit tipsy). Imagine my delight to find that precious little memory captured in the sneak peaks we received shortly after! I still can't believe Helena captured that. It's one of those "is someone cutting onions?" pictures that I will cherish. A friend. Helena made us feel at ease and comfortable throughout our three sessions: the ceremony, welcome party, and the reception. All our friends enjoyed their time meeting Helena and complimented her on her creativity (we heard all the ooh's and ah's as Helena was posing us). When we were posing with our parents who weren't very fluent in English, Helena spoke in Chinese to help direct them as well. Towards the end of our reception, we had to make sure we had a photo together so we can remember what a special part she had. We felt she went "above and beyond" for us. Helena is simply amazing. Hire her.

He is the most chill, in a 'no pressure' kind of way, when it came to coming up with plans, and was so cool about our event being less photo moments and more laid back and candids. He hung out with our friends and families the night before and everyone loved him, fit in just like he was one of our good friends. And, of course, our photos came out absolutely stunning, we cannot stop looking through them!

Or capturing the excitement that comes from saying ‘yes’ to forever with your best friend. I’m empowered by the couples who are passionate about life but don’t take it too seriously. The ones who crave adventure and aren’t afraid to blaze their own trail. Who value connection and intentional conversation while making the time and space in their relationship to grow in love and as individuals.

Emily - and her husband, Dan - are an absolute joy to work! They put as much effort into trying to be helpful, and to be a friend to you, as they do into getting incredible photos.

I am here to help you turn your vision into reality the way you want it no matter where it takes place.

If you’re looking for someone who will get the job done and go above and beyond, Patty is the one. She has a keen eye for detail and not to mention, her editing is close to true to color and is not over saturated. I absolutely love light and airy. I hired Patty because her photos were amazing! Can I say magazine worthy? Not only that, I have a tan complexion and my husband is white, I needed someone who could capture and edit both our skin tones the right way, which I feel like is hard for a lot of photographers. I’m so happy I didn’t turn out look orange or yellow. She definitely has a diverse portfolio which drew me in. Also, as a seasoned wedding professional myself, I can say Patty is very dedicated to making sure you get everything you asked for. She executes seamlessly, no doubt!

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.

Shawn took our wedding photos last summer and he did a beautiful job. We felt so lucky to have a photographer who not only prepared us for what to expect but also put us at ease throughout the day. He gave us a ton of creative ideas for photos and was so patient with everyone. He made both our families feel comfortable in front of the camera and that is saying a lot! But what we really loved was how amazing the photos turned out. We were completely wowed at the quality of the photos - he caught everything we wanted and so much more. They are a beautiful reminder of love we felt on our wedding day.

I’m totally a kid at heart, so much so that I still have a giant stuffed shark on my bed and my favorite food will forever be cheesy fries. I’m the type of person that will say hello to every dog I meet on the street and freak out when I see a dog hanging their head out of their persons car or when I see cows grazing while driving down the backroads. I'm a huge lover of the outdoors and quiet mornings with a huge cup of coffee and reading on the balcony.

Nancy was so great to work with! I was on the search for a photographer style just like hers and was so happy to find her. Her photography skills did not disappoint and her friendly personality was key in helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Courtney & Jackson are wedding, elopement & family photographers based in San Francisco, California but available for travel worldwide. We go wherever love takes you. Photoflood Studio is a wife + husband team from San Francisco, California. We are wedding photographers servicing NorCal to SoCal and beyond. Photoflood Studio specializes in wedding, engagement, and family photography. We aim to photograph life + love through an honest documentary approach. Our wedding, engagement and family photography is inspired by the beautiful wilderness, the culture of our coastal cities, and wherever you call home.

Courtney and Jackson of Photoflood Studios changed our entire wedding experience for the best, and we couldn't be more thankful that we selected them as our photographers. When we started the wedding planning process, it was overwhelming and a little intimidating, especially when we started looking at vendor prices. My husband and I both knew that we wanted to spend the money on a quality photographer because the photos are something we will have forever. When we started browsing, we didn't feel connected to anyone's work until we saw C+J's website. I instantly knew that this is who I wanted, and it didn't take much convincing to get my husband on board. It felt SO good to check photographer off our list early in the game. One thing I loved was that Courtney met us in person to discuss our visions and just to get to know each other before we committed to a contract (it's a big commitment, people!). I emailed her within 48 hours that we wanted to work together, and the rest is history. My husband and I decided we could not afford a videographer, so instead we knew we wanted two photographers. BEST. DECISION. EVER. Courtney and Jackson handled our engagement session and wedding day so seamlessly, it was like they'd been taking our pictures our whole lives! And, we had never had professional pictures taken before! But, I read online that engagement photos are a good warmup and practice for wedding pictures (highly recommend engagement pictures for anyone who is unsure). These two are the epitome of a dream team. We were nervous for our engagement pictures, but they made us feel so comfortable and confident. They also took the time to go to the wedding venue ahead of time and scope out some great locations for our bridal party and newly wed shots. C+J were HUGE proponents to making our wedding day a success. They transformed into photographer/time keepers/event planners - I think they are super heroes!!! Our wedding experience was so flawless with them capturing our special day. We requested a "mega selfie" with us and all our guests, and they made that happen! We snuck off during dinner for the sunset newly wed shots, and they personally drove us around chasing the sunset. It's inexplicable how wonderful these people are. They are so much more than talented photographers, and we are so fortunate to now call them friends. Something else that was really important is that even with all of their photoshoots and other clients, Courtney ALWAYS responded to my emails in a timely manner. She was so on it, and that made me feel really valued and heard. I appreciated that so much, because I was a nervous bride who didn't know what I was getting into. The fact that I always got an email response in a timely fashion was huge brownie points in my book. AND, they send you sneak peeks!! Literally the day after our engagement shoot and wedding day, they sent us a bunch of sneak peeks! There is literally nothing better than getting a taste of your special memories to hold you over until the full gallery is ready. If you are on the fence about photographers, know that your time with C+J of Photoflood Studios will be one of the best parts of your wedding. They want to capture you and your partner as you are, and will never make you feel posed, uncomfortable, or phony. I could write a book about these two and how incredible they made our wedding day. But I'll stop here and just make one final point: Hire them....You will not regret it!!!

Wedding photography for unconventional people.

But, as someone who's been photographing weddings for 4 years now, I know how much work goes into making your day special. I'm there to make your day all about you + your partner, and the love you share!

Harper is very professional. She is able to deliver amazing quality and beautiful images that will leave her clients so happy.

Hi there! I'm Morgan. I'm a wedding photographer based in southeastern Massachusetts serving all of New England and beyond. If you feel genuine joy from playful, color-filled photographs, consider this your sign that you’re in the right place!

Morgan shot my wedding in July 2021 and it was by far the best descion we made! Pictures are such an important part of a wedding day and Morgan really nailed it! She captured everything so perfectly and was so easy to work with. My husband and I are a little awkward especially with pictures but she was so fun and made everyone feel so comfortable. She also really listens to what you want and makes sure she captures it! I highly recommend her and look forward to working with in the future on family portraits!

We know you're probably feeling some pressure to select a wonderful photographer to document your wedding since your photographs are the only part of your wedding that are remaining once the wedding day itself is over. Selecting the photographer for you is fairly easy… you should feel a connection straight away after reviewing our portfolio, and know that we’ll capture the both of you, your wedding, your family and friends in a wonderful truthful and beautiful way that will last forever. Sometimes, it’s as simple as that…feeling it!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Kim and had our day captured so perfectly and exactly how we envisioned. From our initial meeting, engagement photos and to the final delivery of the photos, Kim exceeded every expectation we had for a wedding photographer. On the wedding day, Kim and Barry seamlessly blended into the background, yet somehow managed to be everywhere – capturing every significant moment without ever feeling intrusive. Their attention to detail is impeccable, ensuring that no moment went unnoticed. We have so many amazing and candid moments from the day and looking through our photos feels like reliving the day itself. Kim and Barry captured everything so beautifully and we are beyond happy with the photos and will cherish them forever. We could not recommend Kim enough!

Hi loves! I’m Amanda, a San Diego based traveling photographer devoted to documenting romantic wedding moments and preserving the essence of the big day with imagery. I absolutely love having fun with my couples and getting them comfortable in being exactly who they are to capture in images! I have been a photographer for 10+ years and have fallen in love with being the person who showcases a couple’s love through creative imagery. I’ll be your biggest hype man, get you laughing with your partner and capture every emotional moment that should never be forgotten!

Amanda and KC were amazing! My fiancé and I were hesitant to take engagement photos at all—we are both awkward and don’t pose well for photos. Amanda and KC were very relaxed, casual and FUN! They made us laugh the entire time and everything felt so easy & comfortable. AND THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL! First, we don’t look awkward (big win). And second, the settings/backdrops/lighting they chose were exactly what we were looking for. Great experience and would highly recommend for anyone looking for engagement photos.

Northern Glow was built from a passion to create and document imagery in an art form that can be cherished for a lifetime. I have captured over 130+ weddings and countless other portrait sessions. The growth in the craft is what moves me. There is always new experiences and amazing people to meet. I truly want us to feel like old friends when the album has been delivered In brief... my ethos is to capture in an organic candid "unposed" fashion. All of this should be achieved by minimizing the nervousness in front of the camera and engaging in a fun adventurous experience.

Working with Northern Glow Photography for our engagement and wedding photos was the best decision! David is so passionate about his work, and we couldn't be happier with how our photos came out. We're usually very awkward in front of a camera, but David did a great job of keeping our sessions fun and relaxed. We had a second shooter on our wedding day - Sarah - who was also incredible. Overall, we're so happy we chose Northern Glow Photography! We'll definitely be working with David and his team for any photo sessions moving forward and highly recommend to others, too.
