Moon Rising Photography

Medfield, MA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Buellton, CA for additional fees

I am a New England Elopement photographer. As a hopeless romantic, moments of deep connection are my oxygen and I am made of the feels. I live for the unconventional. I will be so much more than your wedding photographer, I will be your guide, your biggest fan, and the curator of your love story— I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens as I listen to your vows. Wanderlust runs through my veins, I have made it my life’s mission to let every place I have ever been touch my heart and change the way I see the world. There is no adventure too wild or out there, the world is our oyster.

Danielle is amazing. Not only did she take stunning photos of the day but she is so kind and fun to work with that the day itself was better because she was a part of it. Stop looking for other photographers. Moon Rising is the best there is.

I'm a 20 something lover of all things love- as cliche as it is- it's the truth. I'm wildly in love with my other half and have grown a glorious marriage with two beautifully broken people. That is one of my favorite things about wedding days, seeing the two become one and watching your lives and loves to grow into beautiful families for years to come! My priority as your wedding photographer is knowing you. With facetime calls, coffee dates, we deep dive into your story, priorities of your wedding day, and ultimately the vibe you want with your day and photos. As someone in a messy, beautiful marriage, I want to be a part of that with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Both my husband and I HATE planning, so naturally, we had a lot of anxiety around the wedding and how / what to plan. Corah was by far the easiest decision we made! She was SO helpful and understanding of our specific wants. Her photos are absolutely STUNNING and she made our wedding day so stress-free. Cannot recommend Corah enough!

We Do Weddings

Tempe, AZ
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Buellton, CA for additional fees

Welcome to "We Do Weddings," where love meets artistry, and moments are forever preserved. We're Jared and Quinn, not just business partners, but a couple who share a deep passion for capturing the most cherished memories of your special day. Our journey into the world of wedding photography and videography began as a shared dream—a dream that brought together our love for storytelling, our appreciation for timeless elegance, and our fascination with the candid, unscripted moments that make every love story unique.

We had our engagement photos taken by We Do Weddings and had a great experience. My wife and I weren't set on a good location, but Jared and Quinn had a couple of suggestions and Freestone Park turned out perfect. They also arrived early and had a couple spots in mind to shoot at, which I really appreciated since it was a warm day and that expedited the process. The shoot was casual and surprisingly fun. They worked quickly but we never felt rushed. They gave great direction (including some pictures of what they were looking for at times) which turned out great. We just got the photos back and my wife and I were blown away. They turned out beautifully and we are so happy with them. The entire experience was a joy and the end result was exactly what we were hoping for.

Hi! I’m Gabriela, but you can call me Gaby! I’ve been a photographer and storyteller for more than seven years. It’s something I’ve always been passionate about… Creating Art. I know love, I know how deep it is and I can see the undeniable connection between two people. I’ve always believed we all should love WITHOUT FEAR. I want my photography to be a storytelling, natural, authentic, and timeless piece of art that reflects what’s truly there. To make love transcend the screen and make people feel it, because… Love has NO BOUNDARIES.

Gabriela stepped in last minute for our wedding and she was the absolute best photographer we could have hoped for. She is super personable and got along great with our guests while still being incredibly professional. She came with all of the right equipment and gear to get the best quality photos as our outdoor gardens wedding progressed from afternoon, sunset, to night lighting. She also worked quickly and efficiently to get all of the shots we wanted in a short time - she even photographed our venue, wedding rings, and garments in tasteful ways without us having to put any thought or stress into it. She really listened to our preferences and made us feel comfortable while taking photos that might otherwise feel awkward to pose for. She also had a great talent for candid photos and capturing the fun of the night with all of the guests. Her editing was very natural and completely matched the style that we were hoping for. We 100% recommend Gabriela as she is an excellent photographer and great to work with!

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

I LOVE our engagement photos so much ! Nadia did our engagement photos in Central Park, NYC. I was so nervous because it was raining but her attitude was so positive and calmed me down instantly :) during the shoot , she was patient and helped us feel more comfortable. 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 !

Hey there, thanks for stopping in! I'm Rachel, I was raised in a little farm town in the southeast corner of Washington. My family moved over to the Seattle area just after grade school and I graduated Auburn Riverside High School in 2008. I met my partner and we have built an amazing life in the foothills of Mount Rainier.

I am so surprised how easily Rachel makes you feel comfortable and confident in front of a camera. She knows just how to get you present and in the moment of any emotion you are looking to capture. Her diversity within angles and shots is amazing and she intelligently creative. Rachel is a great listener and takes everything you are envisioning into account while also taking control and weeding out any awkwardness you may feel while in front of a camera. Overall we have had several shoots with her. An engagement shoot with my high school sweet heart, she captured our excitement over the purchase of our converted sprinter van AND shot the inside and outside of the van, capturing its beauty and a professional business photo when I got into Real Estate. We love RachelMB Photography!

I’m Erika and I am a self-taught photographer, hiker enthusiast, travel lover and proud dog mama! I started my photography journey at 18 years old. I always loved art, but I never thought this newfound love would lead me down an exciting path where I get to do what I love for a living. Thanks to the trust that my clients put in me, I get to do what I do best — and that’s create.

Erika is one of the most talented photographers I ever met. As wedding planner and designer I get to work with many great photographers but she is definitely one of my top to refer to. She will make you feel so comfortable, relaxed and you will have fun with this fun energetic lady who will capture every single moment of pure happiness. She is sweet, easy to communicate with and she gets you! Working with her is absolute pleasure every time!

  • Serves Buellton, CA for additional fees

Whether you landed on this page to hire a wedding photographer, or a couples photographer to craft a story that documents your relationship, I'm your person. I put so much love into every session from couple’s portraits to full-day weddings and Destination wedding weekends. I pour a little bit of myself into every piece of art I make and I can't wait to learn who you are, and what moves you.

A few years ago my husband and I knew we wanted to have our engagement photos in Arizona. We hired Valerie and that was the best decision. Traveling from Texas to Arizona, we weren’t sure where the best place for photos were but she gave so many great options and was even willing to drive up to Sedona and take a hike with us so we could get the great views we wanted. Our photos were amazing and we still get compliments on them to this day. Fast forward a few months and we hired her for our wedding. Valerie stuck with us throughout the long wedding planning process and was always supportive and responsive when I had questions. There was never any doubt that she was in our corner. When my husband and I were having second guesses on wedding decisions due to how they might photograph, Valerie was always there to answer a text or schedule a call to put our mind at ease. During my wedding day Valeria was so attentive, had the most wonderful energy and always reassured us that if we needed anything, just to let her know. Our wedding photos turned out amazing, it was so hard to figure out which ones to frame. Guests from our wedding are still making comments on how wonderful Valerie was and how she made the picture taking process so fun! I would hire her over and over again and she will continue to be our Arizona photographer! 1000% recommend for anyone’s engagement and/or wedding needs!

My favorite part about my job is helping my couples get exactly what they want from their wedding documentation. I specialize in digital and analog film and love to document the real moments and make you feel comfortable in the process. It is the small glances and simple moments where the memories often get blurry, so let me watch your day unfold and work with you to create a gallery full of memories.

Overland Elopements

Portland, OR
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Buellton, CA for additional fees

There are many reasons couples choose not to have a “traditional” wedding, and the beauty is that you can make it anything you want it to be – and that’s also why I care so deeply about making sure every couple I work with knows that their day is important, beautiful, and deserves to be captured so you can look back on every detail. Hi! My name is Anna– I am an elopement and wedding photographer helping adventurous couples say “I do” on their own terms from coast to coast.

I cannot say enough good things about Anna and Trevor. They were, without a doubt, our best vendor. From the planning process through our wedding day(s), they continued to go above and beyond. They even provided our final photos way earlier than expected! Throughout our planning process, Anna was readily available for a call to talk through our latest ceremony location ideas, and they were SUPER flexible with our idea for a two day elopement family ceremony. They helped us select locations for both a longer, more private ceremony session and the PERFECT location that could accommodate our large, immediate families for our legal ceremony. Anna and Trevor have excellent knowledge of local permit requirements for backcountry locations (and who to contact to get approval). They even did some google-earth research to figure out lighting for one of the less traveled (non- All-Trails) locations we were considering for our private ceremony. Our planning calls felt more like planning a backpacking trip with friends, rather than going over picture logistics for our wedding, haha. The week of our wedding, Anna was super communicative, and we met for the first time at a trailhead at 3am. Anna and Trevor braved the early morning and hiked 8 miles with us that morning into the most beautiful alpine meadow that we had all to ourselves. We weren't sure how we'd feel spilling our deepest feelings to each other while gazing at the north cascades, but Anna and Trevor were super chill throughout the whole morning hike / private vow session and made us feel comfortable being ourselves in our favorite place. On our wedding day, we had some unfortunate delays due to some hair and makeup issues, but Anna and Trevor were able to go with the flow and accommodate our morning itinerary. They captured our ceremony, family portraits (which were mind-blowingly efficient!), and cocktail hour photos so perfectly. I cant say enough about the quality of the photos, on top of the entire amazing process. The first several scrolls through our gallery brought me to tears because of how perfectly they captured our emotions over our wedding days. I love the little candid moments and how you can feel the love through the photos. It's taken me 2 months to actually start order prints because I can't decide which ones I like the most! 10 / 10 recommend Overland Elopements - I'd get married a second time just to have them on our team again :)

Heyyyyy! I'm Amber Kirchner, a Phoenix based wedding photographer for couples who want fun and authentic wedding photography. I believe in marrying your best friend, laughing until you cry, and capturing the genuine moments of your wedding day. I am there to be a partner in the planning process, get pumped about the personal touches of your day, and help you feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. When I am not making magic with rad couples, I can usually be found hanging out with my husband (and bff), Josh, and our little one, Juniper, getting my boots dirty, or snuggling with my pups.

I've had the privilege of working with Amber on multiples occasions. Sometimes I am the subject and other times it's a shared client. She is amazing to work with either way. I am awkward in pictures, but she knew exactly what to say to get me to lighten up for natural smiles and comfortable poses. Working along side her is just as wonderful, she knows her stuff and is a true professional. Every picture I've received has been perfection. Looking forward to working together again.

She did all of that and more, and we’ve been so thankful to have such beautiful photos to look back on. She doesn’t just take photos, she takes photos of who we are as people, and highlights on our inner beauty. Sandra is professional, kind, and very down to earth (which can be so important to nervous brides!) I’ll definitely be going to her future photography needs, and can’t recommend her work enough.

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Hi I'm Kyle, a Chicago based wedding photographer. I am a romantic at heart and a sucker for a love stories. I strive to get to understand my couples and create images that represent them as authentically as possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
1. Kyle is a true professional - A lot of photographers are great at taking photos but bad a business (Project management, sending you reminders, dealing with difficult family members, coordinating with other vendors, etc.). Kyle has a background in business and I can tell. Feels like I would have him on a consulting project. He works on timelines with you. He gives you firm deadlines, good client management skills. 2. Kyle is good at taking photos - Yup, simple but he takes great photos. I won't get into the weeds but he definitely has some dark and moody ones but some with lighter tones. He does your traditional family portraits, fun photos on the dance floor, but he'll mix in some photojournalistic ones and ones you would expect in a magazine. He was quick to edit and send us photos after the wedding. We didn't have to wait too long. 3. Kyle is fun to work with, he's reliable. He made my wife feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. That's huge. It's your wedding day and you want to trust someone. Someone like Kyle. 4. He serves as more than a partner throughout the day and months leading up to the wedding than just a photographer. There is a reason he charges a bit more than some other photographers 5. Personality-wise he was a great medium and I liked it. He's not too bold that he takes over the wedding and distracts from your big day, but he's bold enough to tell people what to do and get the right shots he needs. 6. I would recommend him!

Welcome! My name is Aryk, I’m a self-taught artist who built my skills from the ground up. My experience in photojournalism and street photography combined with my love of fine art are the foundation of my style. My approach to weddings is that of a documentarian and a witness. My couples are folks who value quality and intimacy, and want their wedding day illustrated with a unique album filled with artful candids, punctuated by breathtaking fine art portraiture.

Awarded Best of Zola
Looking for candids, street-style, and a mix of digital and film? Aryk is the photographer for you! Aryk captured all aspects of our September San Francisco wedding (welcome party, getting ready, ceremony, and reception), and every single image he captured was perfect. We wanted a gallery consisting mainly of candids and street-style images shot on mainly film but also digital, and Aryk delivered just that. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera, but we felt so comfortable with Aryk behind the camera! Aryk is incredibly calm, kind, fun, easy-going, creative, and thoughtful, professional, and punctual. He responded very quickly to emails not only from us, but also from our family members who had questions once we received our gallery. Added bonus: Aryk was very popular with our friends, family, and other vendors. Not only did everyone love the photos he captured, but they loved getting to spend time with Aryk. We are still receiving compliments on our photos! We highly recommend Aryk, and we will definitely work with him again.

South Pasadena, CA

  • Serves Buellton, CA for additional fees

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rebecca was awesome beyond words and we highly recommend her. Our wedding was non-traditional and posed some unique challenges. We threw a backyard Halloween party and surprised our guests by exchanging vows at midnight. To go along with the surprise and remain incognito, Rebecca showed up in costume as an old-timey reporter with a "PRESS" marker tucked in her hatband. She pulled the ruse off flawlessly, blending in and chatting effortlessly with our friends so that she could capture those perfectly candid and special moments throughout the night. No one appeared camera shy, no one looked awkward or directed, every last portrait was of a cherished friend at their joyous best. We had been initially concerned about our lighting conditions since the event was outdoors and at night. We couldn't go too overboard with party lights, nor did we want our photographer to be milling through the crowd with a bright flash. Rebecca laid our concerns to rest well before the event, and her expertise with low-light shooting is on display in our gallery. The photos were absolutely stunning. Some of our favorites were the amazingly touching and genuine reactions of surprise when we revealed we were getting married. We could not be happier or have asked for a better photographer experience. We'll cherish these beautiful mementos for the rest of our lives and we cannot recommend Rebecca y las otras enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Becka and her team deserve 5/5 stars and all the love for how hard they worked with my husband and I throughout the pandemic.. Let’s go back all the way to the beginning of March 2020.. That’s where I met Becka for the first time.. (She met me in person, which I truly appreciated) right before well, COVID-19.. We were both a little hesitant of what was to come of this virus but it was SO early that neither one of us thought it would effect my wedding that was supposed to take place in the fall of that year.. Boy, were we in for a surprise.. Realizing in the summer that COVID-19 wasn’t going to go anywhere, we rescheduled our wedding for the following year. Unfortunately, Becka was already booked for the only day we could manage to reschedule our venue/church.. However, she saved the day by allowing her assistant photographers, Lauren & Michaela to take over… At first I was a bit nervous knowing Becka wasn’t going to be the one taking the wedding pictures (we loved our engagement photography session) but I trusted her, and I knew her standards were high so she wouldn’t just allow anyone to take the pictures under her name... And let’s just say, my husband and I were not disappointed! The assistant photographers did amazing, it even rained during the most crucial time of the wedding (in terms of photos) …The time after the ceremony! But despite this, the pictures came out absolutely stunning and our family/friends loved them.. All the details, all the unexpected “I didn’t know they captured that!” moments were there… Another thing I want to mention is the way Becka was able to help me schedule parts of the wedding and assist in the planning of when certain things are supposed to happen… As you can imagine, planning a wedding is stressful... Sometimes you don’t even know where to start! Becka helped me tackle this issue and streamline the day so it wouldn’t be as intimidating… With her schedule, I could now put together the pieces of the day and take a breath. Photos & logistics aside, everyone was also so sweet, patient and accommodating… So a big thank you to Becka, Lauren & Michaela for capturing our big day wonderfully. We will cherish these photos for a lifetime!

I have worked as a second shooter for Alicia a couple of times and she's always wonderful to work with! She is organized, clear in her communications, and overall just fun to be around. Each wedding is unique and she really takes that to heart when working with her clients and other vendors.

We used Tessa from Elmwood Images for our engagement pictures and she was amazing. We are super awkward as soon as a camera comes out and on top of that we wanted our pictures done off a remote back road in our area. Tessa was ready roll as soon as we told her about it and let us drive her out into the forest to get the shots. She spent the time to get to know us and makes us feel comfortable ahead of time. She was super sneaky about making us laugh while posing and snapped the perfect pictures when we weren’t paying attention. We have some gorgeous, natural lit, sunset engagement photos for our invitations. I loved the experience. She got us the proofs within a week! I also have a small business that puts on a Halloween event every year and Tessa volunteered to take event photos for our guests and bring her own handmade backdrop.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Joni. She was masterful in her ability to capture all of the small details, manage many crazy family members, and produce the most stunning photos of our special day. I picked Joni because someone told me before booking a photographer to make sure that you see photos of hidden moments in their portfolio, not just the family portraits. Well, she went above and beyond on this! She captured such beautiful moments... like the mother of the bride and groom holding hands during the ceremony! She was also incredibly patient and managed the family photos like a PRO! We got through so many photos in no time at all! Joni worked very well with our videographers too! We keep comparing our friends' wedding photos and being amazed at the quality of Joni's work. She captured such stunning photographs in beautiful vivid and real coloring - none of the washed out or weirdly edited photos I see from other wedding photographers.

It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

We offer wedding photography and super 8 films.

We had the full on Brittany Bear Photography experience and I can’t say enough good things! The photos and super 8 video are truly works of art. It is the perfect mix of editorial and candid photos. Britt is great at helping to pose and push you out of your comfort zone for the more editorial shots. Since we aren’t models, it took some getting used to but all I can say is to trust the process and the vision! Throughout the wedding day, we had time for those more posed shots, and otherwise, she captured unique moments happening around that felt so alive and true to the day. We also have a really unique wedding video thanks to the super 8 film that was shot. And for the full bridal experience, Britt’s boudoir add on is 100% worth it! I loved that Britt’s style wasn’t typical wedding photography, and we will forever cherish the way our big day was captured.

Hi all, I’m Erin! I’m a wedding photographer based in Minneapolis but I’m always up for a destination or travel wedding/elopement. I feel my favorite images are always ones that are captured vs manufactured and embracing the true interactions between the couple, their friends and family. I LOVE love and I’ll probably cry at your wedding, all those feels get me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Erin was absolutely wonderful to work with. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with her and were blown away by the everything she captured for us. She is professional, yet laid back and fun to work with. She made us feel totally at ease with the process. We opted for a second shooter for our wedding, and we are so glad we did! Erin and Brandon were able to capture so many candid moments from our day, and were so creative with locations and poses for our photos. We cannot speak more highly of Erin and her services, 100/10 would recommend!

Savanna is amazing! It's so easy to connect and bond with her, right off the bat—she makes you feel instantly at ease. Additionally, her photography truly makes you feel transported back in time (a thing many photographers strive for, but Savanna truly achieves) to the day the photo was created. You won't regret having her along on your wedding day!

We are blessed to photography many weddings & events around the world. We've had the honor to photograph many celebs as well. All our clients are a blessing & we know it’s an honor to be chosen to photograph their memorable event. We are grateful to all who has given us the privilege to work with them. We strive to tell our couple’s story & reflect their energy in each photograph. Like Elton John & Bernie Taupin, we work in two rooms: Bob is the principal photographer & handles all the logistics of our shoots. Dawn completes our vision by editing photos & making each image sing, then designs a fine art book to encapsulate the each story.

Bob & Dawn were nothing short of amazing to work with. My husband and I changed our wedding plans quite a bit, but decided to move forward with a small and intimate wedding on our original date. Bob & Dawn were so accommodating and easy to work with, they took a ton of stress off my plate. Every single picture from our day is perfect. Bob captured every moment that I was hoping for....AND MORE. I feel as if I have an intimate relationship with the two of them now, they were involved in some pretty important and special moments of my life, and I am so grateful to have met them and gotten to work with them during a stressful time. Although I had a COVID wedding, you would truly never tell from our photos and everything I was hoping for was delivered by this dynamic duo. I know I will stay in touch with them over the years, and am grateful to have worked with them when I did!

HI! I am Anastasia (she/her), your Northern California elopement and wedding photographer and so much more. My passion for photography began when I was a child. It started as a hobby when I fell in love with photographing families and babies. Over the years I realized I adore documenting couples, in all stages of their relationships. I know they say we should specialize in one type of photography, but I am not sure I can ever do that. I love to create and I get bored with only doing one thing.

Anastasia was simply amazing to work with. She values her customers and she absolutely takes pride in her work. Anastasia was communicative with us from beginning to end and we valued Anastasia’s honest and knowledgable feedback about our venues (we ultimately dodged a bullet with our first selected venue). We were highly impressed that she provided us our sample gallery in record time! And we received our full gallery in the promised timeframe. We hope to do a couples session with her when we return the Monterey area!

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

Booking Grace was the best thing we did for our September 30th wedding (besides getting married of course). We connected instantly... and that is speaking on her bubbly, comforting, and caring personality. My husband and I have never been in front of a lens prior to engagement photos & our wedding, and after seeing our photos you would think we were SUPER MODELS (not kidding). Her work is absolutely breath taking, 99% of my wedding photos look like they came straight out of a magazine... the other 1% she caught some of the BEST, hysterical, memories that came from lots of alcohol, pizza, and the dance floor which we are very grateful for. I rate her and the team she brought 20/10 and will be booking her again, and again, and again for all major life events we want pictured forever. BOOK HER NOW!

I call myself an intimate wedding photographer because I work best with couples who want a smaller, more close-knit feel to their wedding day and because I offer my clients a sense of familiarity, and comfortability and help them feel relaxed and ready for the day ahead. By the end-we're great friends! My hope with every session I have is that you'll find not only the pictures beautiful but the shared experience one to remember as well.

If you’re looking for someone to capture your memories in a seriously beautiful way, Christine Tustin is 100% your gal. My husband and I had our wedding last year, and after seeing Christine’s work we had no question we’d ask her to be our photographer. From discussing a contract to receiving our photos, she made the process simple, clear, and stress free, which means eeeverything when planning a wedding! Also, as a bride who had a wedding during COVID-19, I also had anxiety about making sure all our guests felt safe and comfortable. Christine was super flexible, organized, and made sure photos were timely but also thorough, minimizing any stress I had. Christine is not only an artist but she makes you feel like a BOSS. She has a unique way with people, bringing out the best in them through her sense of humor and badass-ness. She’s captured our personalities and relationship PERFECTLY and we feel super blessed to have these memories. Can’t wait to hang them on our photo wall.

Paige is a joy to work with and incredibly talented at what she does. She makes sure she understands your vision to execute it perfectly for your big day. I was recommended to Paige because I wanted direct flash photography with a vintage vibe. Not only did we get the best photos with a mix of editorial and candid, but she completely nailed the look I was going for and included some more traditional first look shots as well!

I got my first digital camera at 13 and spent the afternoons capturing flowers in our backyard; ever since it's been my dream to have my own photography business. Photography and writing were the two ways I expressed myself and were their own kind of therapy for me. And now, I use photography as a type of therapy for my clients. I believe there is a power in the vulnerability of being and feeling seen. So, photography is my tool to help others feel truly seen and celebrated. It's so important to make everyone feel this way, especially on their elopement/wedding day :)

Alice was an absolute delight to work with. The entire process from booking her to the actual wedding day was pleasant, professional, and you feel truly cared for! Alice is the sweetest and kindest person and you can tell she wants to get to know you to capture your personality through these photos. She puts in a lot of effort into the photos and it shows her artistry. If you are looking for someone to capture your big day, seriously, Alice is the absolute best artist, person and photographer ever!

Want a trusted, unobtrusive, thoughtful pro photographer friend on your wedding day? Someone to capture the way the wedding FEELS as well as it looks. A little direction during portrait time, a little leadership during family portraits, and near invisibility all other times? I think you’re onto something. I’m in. What's exciting? What’s important? What's confusing? Let’s sit down for a discovery meeting and I’ll ask, listen, lay out options, and share suggestions. I want to learn about you. I'm on your team 100% before, during, and after your wedding. Bonus: I've shot 400+ practice weddings before yours and I absolutely LOVE what I do!

Olivia was incredible!!! The preparation leading up to our wedding was so easy and Olivia really took the time to get to know us and learn what moments we didn’t want her to miss during our wedding. We didn’t need to worry about a thing on our big day. She was very organized and allowed me and Josh to enjoy the day with full confidence she was snapping all the right pics! We also got them back in record time! Only two weeks after the wedding! We would highly recommend Olivia if you are looking for a photographer who is professional, fun, easy going and super talented!

I’m Natalie, a Portland, Oregon wedding photographer. My passion is telling real stories, and I’ve been documenting weddings and families for over a decade. I’m here to photograph ear-to-ear smiles, tight bear hugs, wild dance moves, and all of the fleeting moments that show us just how hard humans love one another. In the over four-hundred weddings I’ve documented, I’ve come to realize one thing: we hold onto memories and cherish photos because they allow us to remember a time when we were enveloped with a special kind of love.

I am so grateful to have had the pleasure to work with Natalie twice! The first time I met her she photographed my friend's wedding in Hood River and when I saw the wedding photos it truly felt like the representation of that day. filled with joy and love. After searching endlessly for a photographer i was recommended to Natalie twice and when we got to speak she asked such intentional questions about our love story, what photography means to us, and photos that mean so much to us. the conversation moved me and i knew i wanted a photographer that could capture the emotion and joy of that day.. and she was sure she did. She understood we didn't really want overly styled/editorial photos and wanted more time to spend with our loved ones. Our French-Mexican wedding was beautiful and I'm so grateful that Natalie captured such beautiful moments. She was a joy to work with and I hope we get to work with each other for other life events in the future.

My name is Derrica and I’m 31 years old. Photography has been my passion since a child. Some days I still can't believe that I get to do this as my job. Photographs have the incredible power to make me feel happy, excited, reflective, proud, thankful, peaceful, and an abundance of love. I see something beautiful in everything and everyone. With a photojournalistic approach, my style reflects all of the emotions that your wedding day will bestow upon you and your loved ones. I love what I do and with my confidence and creativity, I’m sure you will too!

What a experience my husband and I had. We had nothing but a great time she made us very comfortable and capture a lot of great moments . She put a lot of effort into her craft and it shows. I will definitely use D360 again.

I love exploring the world! THAT is why I love capturing love stories from all parts of the earth. I was living in New Zealand for a few years when I met my husband, Tyler. He shares the same love of wild adventure as I do. Together we have taken roadies through NZ, Australia, Indonesia, West Papua, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea. We have been married for almost three years now and live in Denver together in a little apartment. You can find us flipping vans into campers, bargain hunting at the local thrift store, or literally anywhere in the mountains on the weekend.

We're beyond grateful for Lauren Pippin, who brilliantly captured both our engagement and wedding in Colorado this September. Lauren is a true artist, her creativity shining in every frame, turning moments into timeless memories. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. Lauren's infectious energy put everyone at ease, resulting in genuine, heartfelt moments beautifully documented. The way she weaves our love story through her lens is truly special. For unmatched talent, creativity, and professionalism, Lauren Pippin is the photographer you're looking for. Thank you, Lauren, for making our special moments unforgettable.

Hiya! I'm Courtney! I'm not your average photographer. I'm something so much more than that. From the moment you step out of your car and greet me to the moment you get back in your car and drive home, I'm there with you cheering you on, telling you how GORGEOUS you look, and making all those weird cute baby noises at your little one. I'm the one who stays up all night to make sure you get those images just in time to send out Christmas cards.

Courtney has been my husband and i’s photographer since we got engaged, eloped and finally had our wedding- and was in our wedding! Being able to watch her grow and transcend has been such an amazing thing. She always goes above and beyond to make our photoshoots, and photos themselves amazing. I can not recommend someone better to capture all your magical moments and milestones.

Since 2008, I’ve found myself as a professional photographer who strives to capture life, in all of its twists + turns, candidly. In addition to taking pictures, I am: the owner of The Made Fest, a handmade + vintage festival; in love with my husband; a co-founder of Smile Politely, a Champaign-Urbana local culture magazine and The Pygmalion Festival; a master gardener; an epicurean; and a mother. I am a feminist and a LGBTIAQ ally.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't recommend Justine enough, from her professionalism, to her artistry she is a dream to work with. As a photographer myself, I am nervous, awkward, and admittedly particular about having photos of myself taken. With Justine at the help myself, my partner and all of our guests were at ease and the images she captured fully represent the vibrant and loving nature of our ceremony and celebration. Thank you Justine for being exactly who you are and doing what you do so beautifully. You have captured for us moments we will cherish forever.

Long Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Buellton, CA for additional fees

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

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