It was such a joy to work with Josh! Everything is how he says it will be; simple, unobtrusive, spontaneous. He captured the "essential" parts, and everything in between. He delivered the photographas timely, and with so much enthusiasm! We now share the same wedding anniversary *wink* , and that fact will be very hard to forget. We love you, and we wish more people can see and experience how good of a visual storyteller you are.

Marilyn Lamanna Photography

Astoria, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Lakewood, CA for additional fees

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
Marilyn is a brilliant photographer and the pictures she got for us were absolutely perfect. She asks great questions about what style of photography you like, the type of pictures you are looking for, and anything you definitely don't want to miss on your wedding day. And she incredibly over-delivers. Every single picture was magical and the hardest part is going to be deciding which ones to give to our family and get framed, because they are all so good! On top of all that, she's just a joy to work with, so genuine and thoughtful, and very knowledgeable about great options for places to get pictures around the city (we got married in SoHo). Long story short, definitely ask Marilyn to photograph your event!

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could I would give Willow 10000 stars! Ryan and his team (ESPECIALLY BRITT AND KAELI!) were amazing from the first email. My now wife and I procrastinated hiring a photographer, not realizing most were booking more than a year in advance, because of Willow's collective approach they were able to fit us in. We had our engagement (lovebird) session with Ryan the owner, and he was flexible and communicative during some weather rescheduling. On the day of, he understood that neither of us were comfortable in front of the camera, or used to being the center of attention. He was able to help us come out of our shell and we have amazing pictures that show our love so clearly. Leading up to the big day the team at Willow kept in touch with us and worked around our needs and understood we were procrastinators and helped us stay on track. Day of, I can't say enough about Britt and Kaeli. As soon as they showed up, I knew they were our people. They fit right in with our wild group of friends, and kept us laughing and calm when things got stressful. I was recovering from a broken leg on wedding day and still in a large bulky (UGLY) walking boot. Britt and Kaeli were able to keep it out of all our photos, without missing any photo ops. This was a huge deal to me when we got the photos back, knowing I can look back on that perfect day without having to see the reminder of my injury. Beyond just that, Britt and Kaeli gave us photos that we are quite literally obsessed with. The candids and portraits alike show our personality and love throughout. Our camp wedding was everything we could have ever asked for, and Britt, Kaeli and everyone at Willow gave us the best record, of the best day and their photos will be a cherished part of our lives forever.

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

I cannot sing his praises enough. We decided to go with Justin as our photographer because of a few main things: his reviews were awesome; his portfolio shows his strong, artistic eye for the big dramatic shots; and he also captures the smaller in-between moments that are often missed in the excitement/chaos of the big day! His communication is next level - whether via phone, email or in-person on the day of. He has such a fun and warm demeanor. He gets you hyped during the shots, and can also rally & direct family members during the chaos of family portraits I am so happy we hired Justin, he was worth every penny and more. We have so many beautiful photos of our day that we’ll cherish forever. THANK YOU, JUSTIN ️️

Like most children in the late 90's and early 00's, I grew up with a camera in my hand. I went through polaroids, video cameras, disposable cameras, waterproof cameras, and film cameras; all the cameras! I was so fascinated by photography and the ability to preserve moments. I'm an ENFP, 7w6, and extroverted-introvert who is not only thrilled but humbled to be a witness and historian to the significant moments in your life we are able to share together!

Lindsey is amazing! We worked with her for our engagement photo shoot and we couldn’t be happier. She listened to all our wish list items for location and came up with several ideas. She made us feel so comfortable during the shoot since we had never gotten professional photos before. Plus - our location was pretty far away from Seattle and we had a blast getting to know each other in the car ride to and from the location. Highly recommended!

My name is Laura and I am bilingual (English/Spanish). I moved to Arizona in the beginning of 2022 from New Jersey. It has been bittersweet to redefine myself in a new state. One thing I absolutely refused to leave behind is my love for photography. I moved here with my husband for a change of speed. It has been such a beautiful change! Just like you, I too am in love with the views Arizona has to offer. I am a nontraditional wedding photographer, I am there for all the feels that come with your big day. The tears, the smiles, the laughs, the dancing... Moody, warm and candid photography. Photos to make you relive the moments later

Laura truly exceeded our expectations as our wedding photographer. Our special day was filled with unique aspects, including multiple different locations and intricate Jewish traditions, and Laura ensured that every detail was thoughtfully considered ahead of time. On the day of the wedding, she demonstrated remarkable adaptability, effortlessly navigating between locations and capturing each moment with precision. She took the time to understand our vision and provided valuable insights on the number of hours needed and whether a second shooter would be beneficial. Her guidance was invaluable in creating a photography plan that perfectly suited our needs, it was clear she had our best interests at heart. Laura deliver stunning edited photos within the promised timeline (4 weeks), working with her was an absolute pleasure, and her genuine enthusiasm for her craft shone through in every interaction. Laura truly is a gem in the world of Phoenix wedding photography, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her capture our special day and we'll be asking her to take all our important photos for years to come!

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions.

My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

Jenna was so helpful! We had a very small wedding in June and then a larger party in September. Jenna split up her package in a flexible way so that she photographed both. She put us completely at ease, was great with a crowd, and loved our dog, Cody! The preview was ready incredibly quickly (I think within three days) and the whole batch of photos came out beautifully. I hope to never have another wedding, but if I did, I would hire Jenna again!

Diana is the BEST! Neither my fiance nor I had great photos from our first wedding. So, after we got engaged and hired our wedding planner, I could not stress enough how important it was for us to hire the right photographer for our big day. Diana Ascarrunz was on the short list recommended to us by our wedding planner. After looking through at her website, I *knew* she was the perfect photographer for us and our wedding. I loved that her portfolio wasn’t filled with cis het couples that look like they all just stepped out of Vogue. These were real, beautiful, everyday couples from all walks of life. That was very important to me. When we got our ‘sneak peek’ photos back a few days after our wedding, I cried looking at them. She captured us and our love so beautifully. She was so easy to work with, crazy talented, professional, has an eye for detail and made me feel calm on our big day. She also did our engagement photos, which turned out equally as amazing, and we will absolutely use her again in the future for our family photos!

He took so many photos and his editing is wonderful. He also did our engagement photos all the way in Yosemite. He not only drove 3 hours one way for the engagement shoot but also drove an obscene amount of hours for our wedding. He put in so much work and I can't thank him enough.

Alissa and her Sweet Bliss team were wonderful! At my wedding we used their photography, videography, and planning services. I was able to ask questions any time of day and Alissa was diligent in her communication. She was a real help in organizing the reception set up and working with my caterer. Alissa had helpful suggestions and accommodated all of my requests. My wedding photography captured the moment(s) and the colors were vivid. The video of our ceremony was amazing! I am extremely glad I decided to have the video made. It brought back the entire day. Alissa is creative and artistic. I would highly recommend her and will use her services again when my children get married!!

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

When it came to our Halloween wedding, the road was filled with unexpected hiccups and stress. However, we were incredibly fortunate to have found Irina, our remarkable wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Irina's presence and talent helped us navigate the challenges and find moments of joy amidst the chaos. Her warm and calming demeanor made us feel at ease, allowing us to relax and embrace the magic of our wedding day. Beyond her talent, Irina's genuine care and dedication were evident in every interaction. She went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was stress-free, guiding us through the process with kindness and reassurance. We wholeheartedly recommend Irina as a wedding photographer. Irina, we are forever grateful for your presence and the remarkable photographs that now serve as timeless reminders of our Halloween fairytale. Thank you for turning our hiccups into moments of magic and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

We would recommend Meghan for any photo events because she was such a joy to work with. It was incredibly easy to book and communicate with her leading up to the wedding. During our photo time she took charge and managed to direct our massive families for family portraits, and then caught some special moments during the reception when we didn’t even know she was watching. The finished photos are gorgeous and it didn’t take long to receive them all. We would recommend Meghan to anyone needing some photos.

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

While we can always get down with a classic editorial portrait, we steer clear of photos that feel posed or stagnant. Obviously, we make images that are aesthetically beautiful, and it's our priority to capture you in your best angles & lighting. But more importantly, we are seeking split-second, cinematic, and emotive moments that pull you in and make you think "this looks like a still from a movie!" Every single wedding contains moments like this, and it's our job to be alert enough to catch them. We are very, very in sync and unobtrusive. We find corners to nestle in to watch & eventually work our way into the heart of the action.

I can't thank Josie and Alex enough for capturing our wedding day! From the beginning they have been so easy to work with -- fun, charismatic and genuinely seemed interested in making our wedding special. Fox & Film understood our vision and were so involved while also making sure our day was spent enjoying our wedding and not just posing for photos. We used Fox & Film for our engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner and wedding day. I promise they are worth the investment and will exceed your expectations. There are so many elements of a wedding to stress about and Fox & Film was never one of them. We are so obsessed with the photos! The detail shots, wedding portraits and family photos all came out perfectly but our favorites are the candids we didn't even know they were capturing. They give you so many photos of not just yourselves and your family but all the guests at the wedding. I love looking back and seeing all the moments I would have missed if they didn't capture it. The film photos are also incredible and were a big reason we chose Fox & Film from the beginning. If you're looking for a wedding photographer that will capture the most sincere moments and actually give you the space to enjoy your wedding I promise Fox & Film is the one!

We immediately knew we wanted Nick to photograph our wedding after the experience we had with our engagement photoshoot. From the moment we had asked nick to photograph our wedding his communication was on point. We had a handful of FaceTime meetings to discuss what we wanted out of our experience, if we wanted any specific shots on our special day, and he even created a detailed timeline of how the day would be going photography wise. When he arrived at my bridal cabin he dove right into his job without missing a beat. Nick made me and my bridal party feel relaxed and made sure that we were having fun throughout our bridesmaid photos. I’m not one to like having my photo taken but Nick helped calm my nervous and told me to just go with it. I absolutely love the single shots he took of me! The photos Nick took of my husband and his groomsman looked amazing and you could tell the guys were having fun in the photos. When it came to the first look with my husband Nick directed the both of us with ease. He really captured every moment and emotion on our big day. He even got photos of the dance battle that broke out at the reception. I didn’t even notice he was doing it and I’m so glad he did because that was one of my favorite moments from our wedding. I would recommend him to anyone and plan on using him in the future for anymore upcoming life events my husband and I would want captured.

Hiring Kara as our wedding photographer was possibly the best decision we made for our wedding. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, both with our engagement photoshoot (navigating around some rainstorms!) and postponing our wedding date due to the pandemic. On our wedding date, Kara was the life of the party bringing excitement, joy, and a calm presence all at the same time. All of our friends and family have said how wonderful our photographers were and how they have never seen any vendor quite like her. To top it all off, our photos are absolutely incredible and a dream come true. She captured moments on our wedding day that I thought only existed in my memory. I highly recommend booking Kara as your wedding or engagement shoot photographer! I know that I will be booking her again for any of our future life events.

Hi I'm Ray! I am local to both Arizona and Texas but travel all over without travel fees. I am super quirky, clumsy, and incredibly sentimental. I truly care about documenting your day in a way that honors you and your partner. With 10+ years of experience I love helping my clients find little ways to elevate their day.

I have four kids and with that it can be hard to do family pictures with ease, however Rayanne made it such a great experience that the kids enjoyed. Which of course is hard to do at times, but it went so smoothly. She’s so patient and kind, while capturing their personalities she was also able to give direction they were excited to follow. I’ve also have worked weddings with her before, and she makes sure she has everything she needs from her brides and grooms, that she gets everything they asked for but it is all stress free. She pays attention to each client and she’s so professional while still having a great personality that makes you want to continue to work with her even after the event. Cannot recommend her enough.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Lauren is THE BOMB. She played our favourite songs on her phone while we started taking photos and that really helped us warm up and get comfortable. She made us laugh and smile and just enjoyed the fun and let our relationship be the centre of her universe for a few hours. The turnaround time was soooo quick (I'm not very patient when it comes to this stuff) and my jaw was literally ON THE FLOOR looking through the photos. I couldn't believe that was us. The edits were perfect with the colour and lighting and vibe and everything. I'm just sooo happy we have such perfect moments captured forever and ever. She also gave us like ALL THE PHOTOS to choose from (which is important to me. Variety and options!). I look back at the photos basically daily still #noshame.

My heart burns with a fierce and undeniable love for photography. It's a passion that runs deep, rooted in the belief that every image has the power to speak to the soul and evoke emotions that can't be put into words. My love for capturing moments behind the lens encompasses all aspects of life. It's these moments of raw and genuine connection that ignite my soul and drive my creativity. Because to me, a photograph is not just about being aesthetically pleasing or technically perfect. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotions that can't be replicated, and the stories waiting to be told.

Where do I even begin. I met Dominque almost a year ago. I was looking for a photographer for our (now husband and I) wedding shower. I met with a couple photographers and reviewed their portfolios. I was drown to Dominque’s work. The warm touch is a favorite of mine. Then I met her via zoom and that’s when the search ended. Instantly we connected with her vibe and excitement. We hired her on the spot. She was amazing at the shower. Making sure she hit everyone on the list we credited together for the shots. After receiving her photos (incredibly fast) from our shower we were blown away in the beauty she captured behind the lens. To say we were obsessed would be an understatement. We then decided to hire her for our destination wedding approx 6 months later in Saint Lucia. She was amazing leading up to the date. Meetings with me to go over ideas, set up wedding day timelines and even coming up with additional photo sessions we could create during the wedding week. She was more than a photographer she wanted to do more and she exceeded all expectations. To say the least she became a blessing throughout this process. Leading up to our destination wedding Dominque became more of a friend with how she makes you feel as she is capturing your day in the best way. If that wasn’t already the best we received all our photos from the wedding, sunrise shoot, boat shoot and a mini boudoir session in the ocean. All we can say is we were blown away. The photos … breathtaking. As I’ve already told her. She’s stuck with us. She’s officially our family photographer. I highly recommend Dominique. You can see the glow behind her lens and it shows in her work.

I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall even more in love with my job. My fiancee and I have a dog and a cat.

Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

My husband and I found Vital's beautiful photography through Instagram. As a photographer myself, finding the perfect photographer to capture our wedding in October was a tough decision. From the minute we contacted Vital he was friendly, professional and knew exactly what he was talking about. Vital's style is artistic and documentary and exactly what we were looking for. As part of our wedding package he included an engagement shoot. My husband and I aren't the best in front of a camera but he made us feel comfortable straight away and we had so much fun! The experience of the shoot was just as great of a memory as the photos we received from it. Having Vital shoot our engagement really put our minds at ease that we choose the right person for our wedding. The photos from our wedding were incredibly important to us and it was nice not worrying about them on our wedding day. Vital delivered close to 500 photos of our wedding which really captured every moment of the day. He even agreed to drive to another location after our reception to capture a few more photos for us, which we are truly grateful for. We are beyond happy with how the photos of our special day turned out. We've had so many compliments from family and friends and would definitely recommend him to other couples!

This review is so overdue it makes me sick, but the reason I've put it off for so long is because I've struggled to come up with the words to fully capture how I feel about Mel and what she contributed to making our special day E V E R Y T H I N G I could have ever asked for. If you don't want to read my whole novel, here's all you need to know: Mel is incredible. As a human being, a woman, a friend, a professional, a photographer - all of it. She will take care of you. I would've paid 10x as much as we did for the memories Mel gave us -- both actual memories WITH Mel and the memories she captured in her photos. From the very beginning I knew I wanted Mel in my corner. I find it SO admirable and refreshing that she takes seriously whether she meshes with her prospective clients or not. She KNOWS that the photos are going to pop off that much more if the vibes between client & photographer are *chef's kiss* -- she's not just chasing anyone down for the money or the exposure. To me, this made Mel really stand out. Vibing with Mel also meant I felt comfortable (because she allowed me the space to) text her with questions/concerns or for advice during the planning and she ALWAYS made me feel better about whatever I was worrying about. Mel is a friend, a sidekick, a bada**, ready-for-anything, go-with-the-flow-but-also-command-the-flow hype woman professional. I'm not kidding when I say that a large portion of my core memories from wedding day are with Mel. And I don't mean because she was following me around with a camera all day, I mean because of the actual hilarious, heartwarming, lifesaving interactions with Mel that stick out to me more than conversations I had with our own wedding guests. Imagine spending all day with someone who isn't making you laugh, providing you relief from the stress, tending to you and just making you feel like an absolute prize all day!!?! Couldn't be me. Wouldn't be Mel. She's d*mn good company. We had a large wedding party which can be annoying for any vendor but especially a photographer. Mel never made us feel bad about that. She stated the facts, made clear what she needed and then made. it. happen. The groomsmen in our party were not great listeners and Mel dominated in getting everyone's attention back. My bridesmaids were basically crushing over how much of a boss she is. And because of how much of a boss she is, she kept ALL things on track, even things she wasn't originally responsible for. She is THE ultimate wedding expert and has an answer for everything. Not every photographer could do what she does, so thank god for Mel knowing her strengths and positioning herself to share the power of those strengths with all of us. Nothing could've prepared me for the emotions I would feel looking through the gallery Mel delivered. Utter shock and awe -- our photos were uniquely ours but still dazzled with that same Mel magic I fell in love with when I found her on IG. After our wedding, I looked back on our day and felt sad thinking about moments I missed or wish I could redo. Her photos completely took all of that away. It was all accounted for. You can trust her to have listened to your needs/wants, to have taken any unique or awkward circumstances into consideration and to have captured moments you'd probably be sad about missing (even the really small, less obviously-important ones). Book her. Book her for the max duration that you can. She's the best in the biz and nothing could convince me otherwise.

So, please bring all the animals to your session or event! I have always loved nature and the outdoors. We do a lot of hiking and camping in the beautiful Mountains. My passion for photography started at a young age, I started doing film Photography and developing my own photos before I even picked up a digital camera. I never thought that my love for photography would turn into my career, where I get to photograph people in love in the places they love. Now let’s get Wild!

Awarded Best of Zola
So first off, the first things I asked her were; are you LGBT friendly, can you handle my anxiety, and can you photograph fat people?? Her answer was yes to all....and she exceeded my expectations. I do not talk much nor do I speak my mind ever, but I felt immediately comfortable with Taylor the second I saw her. Prior to that actually because we had texted a lot. She’s very hands-on. I booked her almost a year ago it feels like, but because of covid and other things out of our control we had to reschedule multiple times. Taylor was SO accommodating every single time. She never seemed bothered by us even though I guarantee she had to be. We are a hot mess! We changed the location multiple times, including TWO DAYS before the ceremony, I was late to my own elopement and on the way there my daughter spilled make up all over her clothes so we had to turn around for an outfit change!! Taylor was so kind and friendly. We told her in the beginning that mine and my wife’s height difference was an insecurity of ours and she made the angles work to where we didn’t look that far off at all. I’m telling you this, I have never been confident at all, I have never even liked the pictures other photographers have taken of me.....I cried when I saw Taylor’s pictures. I felt so beautiful and worthy of good photos!! I HIGHLY recommend her and will forever cherish everything she’s done. I was so uneasy about picking a photographer, it was so stressful because I’m from out of state and I knew nothing about Colorado or anything. I’m blessed to have found Taylor, she gave me everything I wanted and more!! Every single time I travel back to CO I will always have he take our photos!! Thank you so much for giving us this Taylor, we appreciate you more than you know!!

I'm a wedding and community photographer based in Tucson, Arizona, specializing in natural, story-driven documentation with an eye toward the beauty and wonder of any situation. I strongly believe in authentic documentation of a wedding day, as a collection of memories for the two people joining their lives, but also as a celebration of a new community that they now share, born out of their love and containing endless possibility.

Julius went the extra mile to deliver photos that were sweepingly beautiful and intimate at the same time. The candids and special moments he captured of us and our guests were incredible. Julius certainly brings a documentarian flair to his captures. He made everyone feel comfortable, was extremely communicative at all times, and was an integral part of making our wedding day perfect. Delivery of photos was timely and easy. I cannot recommend him enough and would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Anj Photographer

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Lakewood, CA for additional fees

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

From the moment we first met Anj, we knew we were in good hands. Her warm personality and creative vision made us feel comfortable and confident, which reflected beautifully in our wedding photographs. Anj’s creative direction and knack for marrying our ideas with her unique perspective brought a new level of richness and depth to our photos. She captured the essence and energy of our wedding day with an extraordinary attention to detail, freezing the fleeting moments of joy, laughter, and love for us to cherish forever. Perhaps one of the most memorable experiences was the impromptu post-wedding photo shoot in the ocean. Dressed in our wedding attire amidst the crashing waves, we felt like we were in a fairytale, and the photos came out stunning, to say the least! It was an idea that could only have come from a true artist like Anj, who pushes boundaries to create unforgettable moments. Anj’s professionalism shone through in every step of the process. She delivered the meticulously edited photos in a timely manner and maintained open and constant communication, keeping us updated and at ease. In short, Anj didn’t just photograph our wedding; she crafted a beautiful narrative of our special day. We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want a friendly, imaginative, and reliable photographer who can turn your moments into memories, look no further than Anj.

Howdy, I'm Brookklyn. I capture moments with intention for those that value true, soulful connections. I have no desire to shoot staged or unrealistic imagery as that doesn't make my soul sing. I'm here to go far beyond that. I'm for the small details. Every glance, every goosebump, every smile. I want to capture your legacy in a way that shows who you both truly are.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved our experience with Brookklyn. She did our engagement and wedding photos and perfectly captured us as a couple! She’s worth every penny and her style is artistic and documentary while still getting some more traditional “classic” shots.

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 🖤

We hired Grace in Chaos Photography to take our engagement and wedding photos. To say we were happy with what we received would be an understatement! Anya was absolutely amazing and her talent behind the camera was more than we could ask for. We highly recommend Grace in Chaos Photography to help capture all the beautiful memories of your special day!

Soon after Juan and Emily got married in 2018 Juan began his photography career as a light technician in LA. Juan studied journalism for his undergrad, and this is when he was gifted his first camera and his interest in photography was sparked. Emily's childhood dream was to be a photographer, and after working for years as an ICU nurse she is able to do just that alongside Juan. We are energized by the creativity that photography brings, and the light and joy we experience from meeting couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working alongside Juan was my best experience of photographing with a second shooter in all of 2022! He is collaborative with the other vendors as well as the couple. A great listener and leader, he is helpful as well as overflowing with ideas of his own! He also has an impressive in-depth knowledge of light, color, and film. Juan is insightful and excited for every part of the day. His hybrid approach to shooting digital and film is sure to provide all the clients he works with, an album they will look back on, with joy and refreshed excitement forever.

The moment I found Ms. Natalie’s photos I was caught. I loved how she captured beautiful candid moments and was able to cultivate those images into a story. Talking to her, and her vibrant and curious Artemis, was the moment I knew we were compatible. She was more than accommodating and hospitable, offering suggestions on places to adventure, eat, and stay while my husband, Josh, and I prepared to travel to NOLA for our serendipitous day! There were so many magical moments of that day and she captured them all with a click of her camera. We were beyond blessed to have found her to create a timeless story through photography for us. Thank you Natalie, for your passion, romantic vision, and extreme professionalism. Josh and I could not have asked for a better experience and day!

Marla Manes Photography

5.0

Seattle, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Lakewood, CA for additional fees

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

She is precious and perfect and excellent at what she does. My wife and I happened upon Marla’s work when she first moved to Seattle in our hunt for queer friendly photographers. From the first moment we spoke we knew we’d be in good hands. Working with Marla felt like hanging out with a friend. We love her and you will love her too. We didn’t absorb that she specialized in elopement photography when we found her, but clearly she’s versatile because our photos are gorgeous! As people who aren’t used to being photographed professionally, Marla gave great direction when we needed it and caught a million beautiful candid moments. She forgot her coat in her fiancés car and did not complain or act chilly even though her nose and cheeks were turning red (don’t worry, we shared our jackets with her haha). Our guests also raved about her!!! She’s lovely and talented; she will make you feel comfortable and encouraged and beautiful.

Carey MacArthur Photography

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Lakewood, CA for additional fees

My images are a blend of formal photographic training and a passion for telling stories with pictures. I specialize in capturing natural, candid moments. I approach wedding photography as a documentarian with a deep love of family and a great respect for ritual.

I count my lucky stars that my husband and I were fortunate enough to work with Carey, and her amazing second shooter, Sandy, for our wedding photos. Carey’s photos are simply works of art. She has the ability to create exquisite, photojournalistic images that are so full of emotion, the feeling of the moment simply leaps off the page. I searched long and hard for the “right” photographer for our wedding day and just cannot say enough how truly grateful we were to work with Carey. As if her photography talents were not enough, she (and Sandy!) are simply the warmest humans who are so genuinely happy to be part of the special moments they are photographing, and were rooting so deeply for our happiness we (and frankly our whole extended families) considered Carey and Sandy part of the family by the end of our wedding night. They integrated with our crew seamlessly and were in no way intrusive. Carey was also so patient with us during the planning phases, made time late in the evening to speak with us when she knew our work schedules were hectic and invited us down to her Brooklyn studio for a pre-wedding photo shoot to help with the pre-wedding jitters. Not to be understated is just how calming a presence Carey was to us on our wedding day. She can take two stressed humans and work her magic so they are having nothing but the best time ever (and feel like subjects of a Time magazine/Vogue cover story). Easily the best money we spent in the entire wedding process – we had so much fun together and we are obsessed with our wedding photos. Carey and Sandy are incredible talents – run, don’t walk to book if you are in need of any photography for life’s most special moments. We hope to have an excuse to work with them again soon.
