I've been photographing weddings now for over a decade, and if I'm being totally honest with you, I had expected to burn out on this gig years ago. Instead, here I am still falling more deeply in love with it -- with those hugs and big laughs and tears and nervous jitters, and all the big and little moments that make up your days. Every second of it feels so special to me, and the fact that I get to capture that will never cease to blow my mind and fill me with gratitude.

Ivory Grove was so easy to work with and we would definitely recommend to anyone. Lindsey was communicative, personable, and answered all of the millions of questions I had. Our photos and videos came back even quicker than promised - within a month of our wedding! I was so impressed with this and was expecting to wait much longer. Our photographer, Nichole, and videographer, Bruce, were extremely professional and knew exactly what to do on the day of without much direction. We met virtually with both before the big day which was so helpful to ease the nerves and Lindsey was available via text and email when other questions came up. We made a great choice choosing Ivory Grove for our wedding day and can’t thank them enough for capturing the memories for us.

Carly & Kasey were the dream! I found them on Instagram and so glad I did. We did our engagement shoot with Carly and she did an awesome job of helping two people who have never taken professional pictures together before feel comfortable and confident. Communication throughout the planning process was excellent, very responsive and even sent out tips along the way that I found extremely helpful. The day of the wedding we all felt completely at ease. I never felt rushed or like we weren't getting enough photos. We received so many compliments from guests and even other vendors on how wonderful they were! Our sneak peek pictures of the wedding we received are amazing. I’ve looked at them a hundred times already and cannot get enough. The day is gone but I am so grateful to have such amazing pictures to look back on forever. We cannot wait for the rest!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Lacie made our wedding day the weeks leading up to it so enjoyable and stress free. As I stressed about our timeline for the day, Lacie sat down with me and figured every detail out & made it seem so easy & I was so happy with everything we discussed! On the day of, she arrived early to take pictures of the girls getting ready & had the help of her husband to take pictures of the boys, and they were both so amazing. They were so present and fun to work with at the wedding, all while making sure we stayed on schedule! We even got some sneak peeks back like the next day, which made us so happy. They exceeded our expectations with the high quality of pictures they were able to get. They’re both simply amazing and such kind & fun people, we can’t thank them enough for making our day perfect! They fit in so well with all of our crazy family and friends, it seemed like they were just there to enjoy our day with us! I highly recommend them for ANY picture needs:)

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

We decided to do a last minute baby moon in the Miami area. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a photoshoot. However, I was a bit worried about finding a photographer on short notice, especially between Christmas and New Years. I reached out to several photographers and Ledd Lens was the only company that promptly responded, replying to me within ten minutes, From the very start of our conversation, Andre was exceptionally professional, responsive, and approachable. He was very flexible with my last minute request and accommodating to my asks. I knew right away that he would be a fantastic choice. When the day came the weather did not cooperate and Andre was able to flex his schedule to a time that was not rainy, which was much appreciated. He assured me that this would be a positive experience regardless of the weather. And the photo shoot went fantastic! His ability to choreograph and capture a scene is unparalleled. You could feel the enthusiasm and passion he has for his work, and that is reflected in the final product. Andre did a great job of quickly editing and delivering the photos. We absolutely love how they turned out and cannot recommend Andre and Ledd Lens enough!

We were fortunate to have Kirst as our wedding photographer, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Kirst's eye for detail is truly astonishing, and her technical expertise is matched only by the genuine joy she brings to her work. The fall beauty of Vermont served as a stunning backdrop, and Kirst perfectly captured the essence of the season in each photograph. Her ability to adapt to the unpredictable weather was particularly noteworthy; she not only handled it with professionalism but also helped to calm our nerves during those uncertain moments. From our engagement session to our wedding day, Kirst proved to be not only a highly skilled professional but also a delight to work with. We wholeheartedly recommend Kirst to anyone seeking not just a photographer, but a true artist who can turn moments into timeless treasures.

Hej, I’m Anders, originally from Denmark, I made the move to the United States in 2019 to marry my wonderful wife, Kristin. Photography has always been a passion of mine, and I've coupled that with my love for adventure. Whether it's traveling the world, scuba diving, hiking, or ultra running, I've always found ways to incorporate photography into these experiences. However, everything changed for me when I shot my first wedding. Being part of such a special day, filled with love and magic, made me realize that this is what I truly want to do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anders went above and beyond, every step of the way. We first got to see him in action with our engagement photo shoot - He has an eye for capturing vibrant moments/expressions. His passion for photography was on full display, reframing shots until he found an interesting angle or artistic background. And the wedding day itself could not have been more smooth. He was highly present throughout the day but never intrusive. We have watched the video he compiled dozens of times. After the agreed upon ending time had passed and he was on his way out, he saw us doing karaoke, stopped and unpacked some equipment to capture a few more moments. You will not regret having him part of your wedding, or any other event you want to capture in a meaningful way.

Not only that but we should probably have some fun along the way! I feel so honored to play a small part in your best day ever. I am here to help you enjoy this season of your life and have you feel well taken care of from day one.

I knew my husband and I needed to at least talk to Kate when I saw a post of hers on Instagram from our reception venue. And then I read the caption on the photo, which was all about the organic moments and crafting a story based on what the couple values and wants to include. My husband and I knew that the first half of our wedding day would be chaotic, spread out across multiple locations and fleeting. Not every photo on the "photo checklist" was possible for us -- and we were OKAY with that. Kate heard us and went along for the ride with us in more ways than one. When we were out of a vehicle the day before our engagement session, Kate offered as much availability as she could. During our ceremony and reception, she captured sweet, posed moments and ones I didn't think had been documented. Her photojournalistic style that enhances natural colors and avoids filters was exactly what we were looking for, and we got it. The only thing I wish I had asked more directly about was the amount of time "posed" family photos would take. We knew we wanted certain photos together AND to enjoy our cocktail hour, and I wish we had budgeted our time accordingly and been more vocal with Kate about it.

Danielle was a phenomenal wedding photographer. From the start I had told her that my partner and I were very shy when it came to taking pictures. She made us feel so comfortable and made sure our height difference still looked great in all of the pictures. She goes above and beyond for her clients and treats you like a friend and not just a customer. She is very personable, funny, and makes sure everything goes how the couple wants it to go.

Hey, Im Grant. I'm a Madison, WI based wedding photographer who specializes in a documentary approach using both film and digital photography. If you want your wedding gallery to be uniquely yours (vs a Pinterest shotlist), then I'm your guy.

Choosing the right photographer was one of the more important decisions for our wedding, and we dedicated considerable time to making the right choice. Looking back after our wedding, I can say that we made the best decision. Working with Grant was truly a fantastic experience. From the moment we connected, he seamlessly guided us through the entire process, making us feel at ease and ensuring our day was beautifully captured. He made the day a breeze, capturing every special moment while making us feel totally relaxed. His ability to blend into the day effortlessly while capturing important moments was impressive. Some of the most cherished shots were taken without us even realizing he was there, yet each picture vividly brings back the emotions we felt at that moment. His documentary style? It's our jam! No stiff poses- just real, authentic shots that tell our story. Also, his skill in film photography added an incredible depth to the images, preserving the essence of our day in timeless frames. I also want to point out how easy communication was/is with him. Grant is lightning-fast with responses! So friendly and approachable too. When so many details of a wedding can be stressful, it was SO nice knowing we didn’t have to worry at all about our photography. If you're after a wedding photographer, Grant has the skills, the vibe, and the passion. Highly recommend!

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end.

I am a bit late, by bit maybe a lot... but we got married in September. Not only did Arleigh keep me grounded, but she was such a help with introducing me to an amazing wedding planner. Since day 1, Arleigh listened to my needs and worked with me to create the perfect package withing my budget. On our first meeting Arleigh was straightforward, communicated well, was professional and really made us feel so secure in our decisions. The day of, she was on top of every detail and moment, and although to me it went by in a blink, she captured every special moment with warmth and feeling. Our album came arrived within 2 days after we placed our order, and as I looked through our album, it was like reliving every moment all over again. Friends and family loved working with Arleigh and Joanna the day of. Everyone loved our photos, that I was even asked by something borrowed blooms to be featured in their marketing ads. If you are looking for beautiful, romantic, and just great aesthetic photos, Arleigh is your girl!!!!!

Brittany was beyond amazing on our wedding day. She is fun with lots of energy and she listened to everything that I wanted. My husband and I are terrible with being photographed and Brittany just accepted our awkward and ran with it. Brittany's professionalism and attention to detail was inspiring and much appreciated. She kept me sane and on track the entire day and even advocated for me when I was too anxious to do so myself. Our photos are stunning and far exceeded my expectations. The gallery is simple to access and share. I was happy to see that it is also organized by the type of picture and time of day. It was also very easy to favorite and order any photos that I wanted.

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

Hey there, I'm Taber! A passionate wedding photographer with a heart full of love and a spirit that embraces the joy in every moment. Through my lens, I strive to weave stories that are not just timeless, but also uniquely romantic, creative, and filled with genuine fun. My fun-loving spirit ensures that not only do I take stunning photos, but I also create an atmosphere where laughter and joy naturally unfold. I specialize in creating images that not only stand the test of time but also tell a story that is exclusively yours. From intimate glances to exuberant celebrations, I aim to freeze every moment in a frame of everlasting beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have dreamt up a better photographer for our wedding than Taber Lacie... I don't even know where to begin. Booking her was easily the best decision we made of all our vendor choices. Her talent is just through the roof. There are certainly plenty of photographers out there who are talented and it can be tough to narrow down, but what I think separates Taber from the pack is how, in addition to being uniquely talented and passionate about her work, she is also affordable, incredibly fun to be around, and will stick around for the ENTIRE day and night. The importance of having a photographer who is laid-back, directive (in an enjoyable and super helpful way!), hilarious, and overall a joy to have with you is so underrated; it can really make or break your mood for the day since they're there, ideally, throughout every part of your day. In terms of her rates, I truly believe she could charge double what she does and still be worth every penny. The fact that she included a free engagement photo session (in part to help you ensure it's a good fit) and stayed through the reception was such a gift. That said, if I had to pinpoint one aspect of what makes Taber so special and why I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer is that she tailors her photographs to your preferences and taste. We are a huge fan of dancing photos, for example, and holy cow did she come through. She sends out a questionnaire before the big day and its purposefully lengthy so that she can be thorough and give you all exactly what you're looking for. Even if our photos aren't your taste, I highly recommend browsing her site, as her range is as remarkable as is the quality of her photographs. In short, if you book Taber, I am confident she will exceed your expectations just as she exceeded ours.

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

I cannot express enough how much I enjoy working with Taylor & Jarod! They are not only very talented, yet very fun to work alongside with. The always produce amazing quality work, and their communication with me as the coordinator is always punctual. I of course have them on my Preffered Vendor List and highly highly recommend them to my couples. You will have such a fun time with these two, and all of your special moments will be captured- garenteed! True professionals.

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bonnie documented our wedding Oct '22, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Communication and planning leading up to the event was timely, clear and simple. Her cool, calm manner made us all feel at ease and the candids that Bonnie grabbed between moments are some of our favorite shots. My husband and I are not particularly comfortable in front of a lens, but we love the way she was able to capture our personalities on camera. We are so grateful to have had Bonnie at our wedding, and would highly recommend her services.

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

I resonate with intimate, honest weddings, ones that present as unique and authentic, ones with tradition but they threw that tradition out the door and made their day an authentic representation of their marriage. As an artist, I am able to document weddings while incorporating my own artistic visions and yours. I love natural light, nature, and intimate moments. It is important to me for you to trust me as photography is a collaboration.

Megan is amazing. She is a true artist. I have worked with her in various spaces, one in particular that a lot of photographers struggle with because of the lighting, and Megan came back with some of the best, most beautiful, moodiest (chef's kiss) photos I have seen.

Courtney is by far my favorite wedding photographer in the midwest region. She is the full package - low-key, relaxing to be around, friendly, and a brilliant creative genius. :) If you create the day, she is there to capture it in all of its glory: head down, behind the lens, sneaking all of those behind-the-scenes- moments you will hold dear. She is a skilled portrait photographer but doesn't forget the details. She is caring to her clients and fellow vendors. By the end of the day, you'll be asking for her number so you can go out for drinks next week. She is like the friend you've always known, yet she is able to keep her professionalism high all day. When you get your photos delivered... you'll know exactly what I mean! Hire her!!

I have a lot to offer, and I do things differently than most other photographers. More than anything, I want to make sure I’m the perfect fit for your wedding. My style and approach is a generous mix of documentary and editorial-style portraiture. For the majority of the day, I stay very hands off, focusing 100% on the story. You won’t find me asking you or your friends to stage or recreate moments, but you will find me ready to capture those moments before they even happen. During portraits, it’s a little different. I give plenty of direction, working to bring creative ideas and poses to make images that are as unique as the people in them.

We can’t say enough about Tom! He was by far our favorite vendor we selected, and he was a fraction of the cost compared to these “Instagram” photographers. He was kind, easy to work with, kept us on track during our wedding - even some of our guests commented how much they liked our photographer! Choose Tom.

When we first found Kasey while searching for a wedding photographer I fell in love with her style. Just the tone of her pictures.. I just knew she was the one we needed. After contacting Kasey I was so impressed, she is so easy to get along with and so professional at the same time. Not only did she make our engagement shoot amazing especially being such a meaningful place where we took them, she made our wedding day perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to share our special day with. Now I have so many memories captured I can hardly choose my favorites there’s so many, there’s not a single picture I don’t love! Kasey is just an amazing photographer and person, she comes highly recommended from us!

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, & Texas. What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I have recently moved back to Illinois in the town of Channahon. My style of photography is more documentary-esque. Either way, I enjoy conceptualizing with clients to find what works for you!

Angelina was such a breath of fresh air. You all know how stressful hosting events can be let alone having a wedding! She came early to the venue which calmed my nerves, and made genuine connections with everyone to produce some of the best photos. What I appreciated most was her professionalism and authenticity.

Having worked with over 400 couples while sharing their unique and special day, I’ve stepped up to the challenge of capturing a couple’s personal style and touch. This is what keeps me so inspired year after year. Weddings and Engagements combine everything I enjoy about being a photographer with a photo-journalist’s background; there’s the history of the moment, the bride and groom are the “celebrities” of the day with the bridal party their “entourage”, the D.J. creates the concert, and the guests are the crowd!

We booked with Louis to photograph our wedding before we even got engaged. It was the first thing we did because we loved his style and the packages/price. Let me tell you we were blown away with this talent and friendliness. At both our engagement session and our wedding we had a lot of fun taking pictures because Louis made it fun. What could be hours of silence besides some photo cues, turned into good conversations and even better pictures. His partner Gabby was phenomenal as well, they made a great team. They work very fast as our wedding was 12/16 and we already have our sneak peeks and our photos will be done in a few weeks! They sneak peeks are absolutely stunning I cannot wait to see the rest. If you’re considering booking with two 2 tango, DO IT! They captured our wedding perfectly. It looks like a movie. Couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer.

As much as we are tech/gear heads with regards to equipment, we also know that the greatest piece of equipment any photographer can have is his/her brain. We pride ourselves on using our brains and our gear to not just take pictures, but to tell stories. While pictures, as Dorothea Lange says, “take an instant out of time; altering life by holding it still”, it’s also important that each instant of time is part of a person or event’s story.

Ken was great from start to finish and was extremely receptive to what we were looking for in terms of a vendor we can jam with and will also be able to work well with our other vendors - it was very important ALL our vendors were people we could consider people we'd call our friends and Ken is just that!

A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

My goal is very simple; document what's happening. All of it. The little smiles, small embraces, big laughs, quiet tears, fingers intertwined, subtle glances, and first steps. None of these things will ever happen the way they happened today. I believe there should be proof that you laughed at that joke, said those vows, kissed that cheek, and cried those tears. And it should be captured in a way that is beautiful and full of feeling.

As a florist, I love it when my couples book a photographer like Sara Gardner Photography! Her photos are excellent and she is efficient and easy to work with including sharing the photos of my creations with me so that I have some high quality images of my work to post.

I'm Kelsey Lefever, a wedding photographer for wild and windswept couples. I'm based in Indiana, but travel all over the world, wherever your love story takes you. I'm a storyteller, in all senses of the word. I'm here for the couples who are more excited about their marriage than their wedding, who know that a little dirt on the dress just means it's part of a grand and adventurous love story, and that if the cake collapses on itself it still tastes just as good. If that sounds like you, we're already friends. I'm here to tell your love story.

Our biggest priority for our wedding was keeping it intimate and meaningful. We only had 10 guests, and each person meant a lot to us to be there on the big day. Kelsey was no exception. We both are very camera shy people, and the idea of having photos taken of us had made me nervous for so long. Kelsey made it so effortless and fun. She captured moments rather than staging them. I felt like she was perfectly there and also in the background when so much was going on. She helped me with planning timelines and I had so much that I didn’t think about and Kelsey didn’t stumble a bit. I totally forgot about bringing stuff for detail shots and those ended up being my favorites! All come up with on the spot while I was getting ready. I would say the best part of that day was having our photos taken, even though it was what I was worried about the most. Couldn’t recommend her more!

I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude.

We are Kristi & Nathan, we’re married, we love love, and we’re here to tell stories authentically. Based in the Midwest, we never charge for travel because we believe you should be able to hire the photographers you love without worrying about extra fees. We love to create space for you to be yourselves, honest and unhinged, not posed, not fake. We want to capture you as you are in this moment in your lives, because love is magical. With freedom to be yourselves, emotion and beauty come through.

Our journey to finding our wedding photographer did not start well. Our wedding was in Montana and we reached out to a local photographer who seemed great at first. Then as soon as she found out it was a gay wedding, she backed out. Needless to say we were devastated that the very first person we reached out to was cruel enough to stoop that low. However, we will forever be grateful she did, because that brought us to Kristin and Nathan! We stumbled across Made to be Mine by pure luck while scrolling through Instagram one day. Right from the start they blew us away with their dreamy, jaw-dropping, moody AF photography style. Mix that with their kindness & compassion and we knew we found the perfect fit for us! We ended up needing to reschedule our wedding due to Covid and they made that stressful situation so much better by being super supportive and understanding. Moving our wedding date actually ended up working out in our favor because it gave us time to meet them for an engagement shoot! We already knew Kristi and Nathan were talented, but we left the engagement shoot in aww. My wife and I are usually so awkward in photos, but Kristi and Nathan made us look like naturals! They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. It honestly felt like we were just hangin with friends who just happen to be taking stunning photos of us at the same time. Flash to the wedding and let me tell you, they did not disappoint!! Everything from us, family, friends and the beautiful venue was captured absolutely perfectly. (Pro tip, have them do the drone video for you. You’ll thank me later.) When we were sent our official wedding photos, it wasn’t just an online link. Oh no, Made to be Mine of course goes the extra mile and sent us a literal wedding photo experience! We received actual prints of a few of their favs, zip drives of the beautifully edited video, the photos as well as extra little video clips from the day. All in a cute custom box with other fun little goodies in it. We seriously can’t recommend these guys enough. We truly feel like we’ve gained life long friends throughout this process and we’re beyond grateful for the amazing photos we get to look at on our wall everyday.

We "Double Dog Dare" you to find a photographer that is more fun than us. Finding a cheap photographer is easy. Finding a great photographer is a little bit harder. Finding an awesome photographer that works within your budget but still gets you the $10K shot of the day... now that's hard. We want you to shop around and certainly take the time to talk to multiple photographers. We may not be the one and that's OK. After the party's over, the food is forgotten, the flower's fade, and the dress is cleaned and stored, you have your pictures. Why chance a $500 photographer with your memories?

I've been in the DJ business for over 25 years, and my DJ company Porta Party DJs has worked thousands of weddings. Mirage Photo consistently stands out head and shoulders above all other photography companies for three simple reasons: 1. They are fun 2. They are professional 3. They provide an incredible product. Many photographers are notorious for being too pushy/controlling when trying to get photos done. Although there sometimes can be a need for that, Mirage Photo earns the respect of their clients (and wedding party) up front so there's no need for lots of drama and stress. Their easy-going attitude and fun demeanor are why we always recommend Mirage Photo any and all of our clients who are looking for a professional photographer. If they are available and within your budget, you need to book them ASAP.

We believe that you should live authentically, explore endlessly, celebrate your traditions, and laugh at the joyful and beautiful moments found in life. We are passionate about capturing the love, excitement, and treasured moments found on your journey to marrying your best friend.

Marc and Mindy are just an absolute gem of a duo. Our wedding date was on 06.03.23. They shot both engagement and wedding day. We have been connected with them through families and friend's weddings they've done. When it came to our day, there was no doubt who we were going to reach out to. Marc and Mindy have such a special way of making a bride and groom feel so well thought of. Not only are their portraits STUNNING, they make the experience so stress-free. Mindy comes in with a ton of experience in posing...something we know 0 things about. They were so mindful of schedule and specific shots we wanted. It was such a collaborative effort in addition to their expertise. They make sure to ask alll the good questions, including getting to know you, which we found to be such a genuine touch. Don't sleep on booking them for your wedding. You seriously would not regret it. Wedding days and taking photos can be so overwhelming. You want someone like Marc and Mindy on that day--folks who will take care of you, keep you calm, and keep you having fun! They certainly know how to bring your vision to life. We will cherish the gift they have given us for a lifetime. We do not give this recommendation lightly. We understand how important photos are...you want Marc and Mindy on your side.
