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

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Marilyn was amazing and I will definitely be recommending her to our friends! From our first initial consultation my fiance and I were so comfortable with Marilyn and knew immediately that her warmth and kindness would make her the perfect person to include in our wedding. The photos she delivered for our engagement shoot were absolutely perfect and we can't wait to work with her for our wedding in a few months!

Welcome to Arie T. Photography, a black queer woman-owned and operated traveling portrait and wedding photography service based out of the Georgia and Michigan! I've had the honor of capturing all walks of life across the USA with hopes of taking it worldwide. I'm known for my use of natural light, and "unposed” stress-free approach when it comes to my clients. If you feel like you’re awkward in front of the camera, I’ll take that as a challenge to prove you wrong because I can be awkward too.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow, where to begin! Arie did a phenomenal job as our wedding photographer! We found Arie through the business Once Like A Spark, and with scheduling her short notice (2 weeks before the wedding), she did an amazing job capturing our vision and style. We honestly love each photo she took and had a really difficult time choosing 60 out of 500 for our album! Arie communicated really well before and throughout the wedding day, was on time to capture getting ready photos, and was attentive throughout the whole night. We admired how she took creative liberty and made sure to capture all the key moments as well as the small, sweet moments too. Even during dinner time, Arie made sure we got photos with each guest, which we greatly appreciated. While we only spent one day together, Arie seems like such a great person with a passion for capturing wedding days with love, care, and a dash of humor. Definitely book Arie for your next event, you won't regret it!

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am known to be someone who rarely stops sharing her feelings. With Amanda, it's truly hard to find the precise words that adequately describe how amazing she is to know, let alone work with. She recently photographed our wedding... and the experience was nothing short of magical. I could list a ton of reasons I loved the experience with her and why I would recommend her to anyone, anytime, to shoot anything. However, here are a few: 1. She communicates like a champ prior to the event. Calls, emails, FaceTime, whatever - she is on it. 2. She has confidence like a boss, but is still able to take ideas/suggestions before, and during, the shoot. 3. Amanda, quite literally, fit in perfectly with our families and friends. By the end of the evening, everyone wanted to be her friend, adopt her, and make sure she got home safe. 4. As any expert in her field - she nailed making us feel comfortable during the process. (I have been with other photographers - they can get real stern, demanding, etc). 5. Her personality is a genuine, compassionate, patient, and professional one. She mixes being friendly and professionalism better than any I have ever met. 6. She was in our price range. You'd think work like Amanda's would cost you a zillion dollars - BECAUSE THE WORK IS THAT FANTASTIC, PEOPLE. However, she is significantly well priced for the hard work she provides. Well worth the memories to bond with her during the wedding AND get the artwork after. 7. She encourages you to ENJOY the moment when you forget to do so with all the business that comes with events. She helps you live in the now, which is hard to do at weddings, so you can remember what you can of the day and use her photographs later to remind you. She's got you. Again, these are just a few things - but they were HUGE to us. It's literally just bonus after bonus. She's a gift. Her talent is incredible. Do not second guess yourself if you're needing the most epic photographer and immensely kind human - please look no further. I cannot speak highly enough about her... so I guess I am grateful I could find some words for my new friend. Stop reading this and HIRE HER ALREADY! Love you, Amanda!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

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

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Gabbie for our wedding and she absolutely blew us away. From the start, she was so easy to work with and got to know us, our story, and our style. We first had an engagement session with her, where she had a beautiful location in mind that fit our style perfectly. My husband and I were nervous because we're not used to being in front of the camera, but Gabbie's calm and fun nature put us at ease immediately. She has a way of creating certain moments that don't feel completely posed and resulted in absolutely stunning photographs that we cherish to this day. We were an original COVID couple (postponing our wedding a month before it was meant to happen in Spring 2020) and were so thankful that Gabbie was willing to work with us and all of the fluid changes we were dealing with daily. On the wedding day and all of the chaos that comes with it, Gabbie was a steady and calm voice amidst the craziness. She did a killer job despite dealing with on and off rain. She has this amazing ability to blend right in throughout the day while beautifully documenting our special moments. Once we received our complete gallery, we were speechless. The time and effort she puts in to selecting and editing every single image shows how truly invested and caring she is. She even managed to photograph little moments we didn't even notice her there for. She captured the spirit, love and fun of our wedding perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough!!

These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

I knew that I wanted to hire Justina as soon as I saw her work— I loved her editorial style, her vibrant photos, and the fact that she offered a 2 photographer 1 videographer package (her brother Anthony is the videographer, and they make for a real dream team!!). We contacted her in January for a June wedding. We had about 3-4 calls before the wedding, where she made sure to fully understand my partner and I’s preferences and styles when it came to photography, posing, etc. We also did an engagement session with Justina (which was complementary at the time, and I HIGHLY recommend doing it before the wedding), and that allowed us to get familiar with her shooting style. I feel like we became friends very quickly. On the wedding day, Justina and her team arrived early and adapted quickly when we had a sudden change of plans due to weather. She also adapted quickly when the original 2nd shooter got sick right before our wedding, and found a replacement photographer right away. Our wedding party and I had so much fun shooting with her team: she was efficient while being thorough with the shots we wanted to get. Anthony, the videographer, also had creative ideas and suggested several unique “shots” to capture for the wedding video. Their team integrated so seamlessly into the wedding that I honestly barely noticed them running around and capturing moments. They were both professional and down-to earth; I felt like they even added to the joy and fun vibes our our intimate, 85-person wedding. I got the preview wedding album from Justina exactly a week after the wedding as promised, and Anthony sent the short video reel a month after (also as promised). We’re having so much fun going through the photos—they truly turned out better than I expected, and if there were any changes or tweaks that we wanted to either photo or video, both Justina and Anthony are super responsive and reasonably quick to change them for us! Justina and Anthony are an up-and-coming team, and I could not recommend them more! You should definitely book them before they’re booked out for the rest of the season :)

MaddyKate was so fun to work with she was so sweet and energetic! Her and Christian made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photo session and at our wedding they were so patient with us. I would use her over and over again the only thing I’m sad about is how she is so far from us but we will forsure use her for future photo sessions

Kari was absolutely amazing to work with. He was so responsive, professional, kind, and really went above and beyond. He also took care in making sure we were comfortable during the pandemic by social distancing and wearing a mask. It was not only a joy to work together but the end work product was better than we could have ever imagined. He has a wonderful eye for capturing beautiful photographs from different angles. I highly recommend hiring him!

I'm a photographer driven by the desire to capture raw emotions and authentic moments. Specializing in emotive and documentary styles, I aim to evoke feelings in viewers through collaborative shoots that align with my clients' visions. With a keen eye for beauty in everyday life, I meticulously edit each photo to stir the soul. Whether amidst the golden hour glow of nature or any chosen setting, I strive to create images that resonate deeply with viewers.

Working with Sara has always been an incredible experience. As a videographer, I have found having a positive collaboration between photo and video is a very important key to a wedding day running smoothly – this is always the case when shooting with Sara. She not only has a great creative eye, but she is also a fantastic leader. Outside of shooting together, Sara and I have a continued collaboration and share our work with each other for constructive feedback and this relationship has proved to be invaluable.

Backyard captures was hands down the best decision I made when booking our wedding vendors! Him and his team were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, on wedding day, and afterwards. They were so personable, payed attention to detail, and were all around amazing. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect and I am so thankful to have booked them as our photographer/videographer. We haven’t received our album yet (posting this only a few days after the event) but I have no doubts that their work will be nothing short of incredible. Thank you guys so much!!
