Josh photographed my daughter’s wedding in November 2023. The engagement and wedding pictures were wonderful. He is a very kind and fun person to be around and made everyone feel at ease. He got lots of candids and we never even knew he was taking the pictures. Highly recommend!!

Marilyn Lamanna Photography

Astoria, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • 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
In what is typically a sea of puppy videos and Office memes, my IG algorithm somehow led me to Marilyn’s work, and I couldn’t be happier! This past year I had the pleasure of working with Marilyn for my city hall elopement wedding “house party” and my spouse and I are beyond thrilled with the stunning photos we received. In addition to photography, Marilyn also lent her talents to capturing a short-form video of our wedding festivities and weaving all the best bits of our celebration together like a home movie. As someone who doesn’t feel the most comfortable posing for photos and can be a bit stiff (think, scarecrow-come-to-life), one of the things that stood out the most was Marilyn's ability to make everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. The posed shots are natural and effortless, and the candid snaps are pure and authentic. Marilyn has an incredible talent for capturing not just moments but emotions. It’s true what they say – it all goes by SO quickly, but each photo tells a story, and looking through our wedding album feels like slowing down time and reliving the magic all over again. Thank you, Marilyn, for your thoughtfulness, creative eye, and positive energy! Your dedication to your craft and genuine passion for capturing love stories made these big moments even more special.

We had the pleasure of working with Ryan and Jenn for our Lovebird session and our wedding, and I highly, highly recommend Willow! Our Lovebird session was the first photo shoot my husband and I had ever done so we were definitely a little nervous about it, but Ryan and Jenn made us feel so comfortable that it didn’t take long for those nerves to go away. I knew long before receiving out photos from that shoot that we made the right choice with our photographers, but our photos just confirmed it and made me SO excited to have them for our wedding. From our initial phone call before booking to our last call to finalize details before the wedding, they were so communicative and helpful. We just received our sneak peeks from our wedding and I am in love; our pictures are perfect and it brought back the pure happiness that I felt that day. Ryan and Jenn are truly the nicest people and SO TALENTED in what they do. I look forward to being able to work with Willow again in the future.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin is awesome and incredible to work with! If only there were more stars to give for a review rating. He was so professional and easy to work with! Everything from his communication, thoroughness of the event coverage, to his creativity was amazing! My wife and I are so happy we chose Justin as our engagement and wedding photographer. Our family and friends shared so many positive comments about him and his work. How he was able to be everywhere during the wedding and make me (who normally look awkward in photos) seem photogenic is beyond me! My wife and I felt very comfortable and at ease during our photoshoots and really enjoyed getting to know Justin. We were told that having a great photographer is so important for a wedding, and honestly you can rest assured that you will be in good hands with Justin! You will look like movie stars! Also where else can you even find a photographer that can help bustle a bride’s dress?! Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication Justin! We are beyond happy with our albums!!

I had the privilege of working with Kristen numerous times. The reason why it was a privilege is because she raised her fam every time. The craft is bigger then equipment it’s the small things like connecting with your couples, clearly understanding their vision, collaboration with vendors on the wedding day, the ability to work under pressure, and continuous improvement. Kristen gets this and is intentional about being the best version of herself so that she can exceed her client’s expectations. So if she is available, BOOK HER!

Sean did our wedding in September of 2022 and it was one of the best decisions I made for wedding vendors. He was very flexible with ideas and scheduling. He even went above and beyond for our engagement session as well as our wedding. The photos came out beautiful as he captured both posed and candid moments wonderfully. His engagement with our family and friends was awesome! My people are a little bit extra but he fit right in and joked and laughed along with everyone. Book him. You will not regret it.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I decided to elope. Being that we eloped, I had no one to help me get ready for our small ceremony, and Ali immediately became my honorary bridesmaid. She ran around looking for items or products I needed, all while capturing precious moments. I am forever grateful for her help on such an emotional day. As a photographer, she worked with the lighting in ways I would have never known were possible. We got married on a boat, and she worked with the captain to ensure that the boat was in the proper position in the ocean for best lighting . Truly amazing. It was such a pleasure to work alongside Ali; she made two camera shy people like ourselves effortlessly take pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Caden has an unmatched artistic eye, and his skill with capturing the perfect moments and memories continually amazes my husband and me. We cannot stop looking at the photos Caden took of both our engagement and our wedding! Caden was also willing and eager to travel out to the Salt Flats in Utah to take the most stunning sunset photos. His use of light, shadow, and movement make the photos come to life and capture the candid, raw, and exciting moments beautifully. I wouldn’t recommend any other photographer over Caden!

Hello! I'm Florencia, a wedding photographer based in NY/NJ and I'm looking forward to meeting you! I'm fluent in English and Spanish and I found myself working with multicultural couples a lot. That's one of the many amazing parts of my work. I've been capturing love stories for more than seven years and I LOVE to do this for a living.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you know, you know! I looked at countless beautiful portfolios and spoke with many talented photographers for my wedding, but within the first minute of my first phone call with Flo, I knew she was the one! Flo was, and continues to be one of our favorite and most complimented wedding elements. From our first phone call, and until our wedding was over, Flo was an absolute joy to work with. She understood what I was looking for throughout the process, was easy to coordinate with, and most importantly delivered stunning photos. Her fun and bubbly personality made her a hit with everyone at the wedding. My husband and I were the most anxious about taking so many photos (we both avoid pictures as much as possible) however, every ounce of that went away when working with Flo. Our faces hurt by the end of the night from smiling and laughing with her. She has an amazing eye and set us up for some truly beautiful photos I never could have imagined. If you don't do anything else for your wedding, hire Flo!

Brownie Photography came to the rescue when covid took out our original photographer.

She was friendly and professional and knew how to really take control of the room when it was time. Out of my 250 photo gallery, there isn’t one photo that I wasn’t happy with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking

Lindsey Paradiso Photography

5.0

Seattle, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Lakewood, CA for additional fees

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 the best decision we made for our wedding. We knew choosing our photographer was important, and while we initially picked her based off her photography style and the art she created for weddings, what we ended up with was so much more. She wrangled our scatter brained families, she kept everyone on track, and she always looked out for US. She was exactly as direct and forceful as our families required, without ruffling any feathers. She was professional, kind, and an over all rockstar. During the ceremony I caught a glimpse of her literally sprinting around with her camera in unforgiving heat. Lindsey gave it her all, for 10 hours straight, just to make sure we had memories of our special day. The day after our wedding Lindsey's name came up multiple time amongst our family and friends, always followed by the words "awesome" "amazing" "incredible". I never want to plan a wedding again, but if I did my first call would be to Lindsey.

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

Very easy to work with, was sweet enough to provide me high quality photos of the bouquet and flowers I provided to the bride along with my flower garland work. Would recommend her to my clients or any couple looking for a photographer

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. 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!

I'm not normally one to write reviews, but I was and am so absolutely over the moon about my experience working with Diana that I’m making an exception. First, let me put it out there that I’m not a planner and the wedding scene is pretty new to me. Planning my wedding and then being at the center of it took me so far outside my comfort zone that I truly don’t know if it would have felt as smooth, easy and ecstatic without the support and calming powers of vendors like Diana. She was so organized and thorough leading up to the day, offering myself and my partner multiple phone calls to better align on the order of events, personalities involved, and who we are as people. She worked with us to create a comprehensive shot list and then managed to take candids that absolutely filled in all the joyous gaps in between. The results are images that absolutely take my breath away. They are stunning and you can feel the love that was radiating all around. Diana has such a great eye and her editing is spot on. I couldn’t recommend her more!

When I say Leah is the best, I absolutely mean it. Our first experience working with her was at our wedding. The photos turned out better than I could have ever expected. She really captured us as a couple - not just the big day - but the actual love we have for one another. I frequently get comments that our wedding photos are some of the best people have seen and I have to agree. Outside of the wedding, Leah has been our go to photographer for family sessions. Our session at the Oregon Coast was hands down my favorite and the pictures really turned out exactly how I envisioned in my head. My husband and I are NOT that comfortable in front of the camera. Leah has a special gift of bringing calm and comfort in the session, which allowed us to drop the awkwardness and really be vulnerable with one another. The photos are beautiful and I cherish the relationship we’ve built with Leah. She just rocks, period.

My name is Thomas Seabury I am a wedding photographer of 8 years, over the past 3 years shooting just over 100 weddings per year. Each wedding I take on the roll of coordinator, photographer, and personal assistant keeping the entire day running smoothly and keeping the stress of the day as far from the bride and groom as possible. I would love to be a huge part of your entire process from overall planning to execution of the day! In the off chance you're booking at a Northern CA Wedgewood venue, I have hundreds of hours of experience at each of their venues and work very closely with the everyone of the staff at Wedgewood.

Awarded Best of Zola
From even before our wedding day, Thomas was quick to communicate and make sure he was available for the time we hoped to book him. Every interaction was easy, effortless, and added no stress at all to our already busy day. On the day of our ceremony Thomas showed up exactly on time and instantly began helping us get the best photos possible for us to capture this memory with. You don't realize how much stress is immediately removed by having a photographer like Thomas capturing the moment. Thomas captured multiple moments from the first look to even spending extra time with us after the ceremony to get more shots. In total, he took several hundred photos to make sure he captured every possible angle we could ever want. The most impressive part of that was the turn-around time for all of the photos he took. Within a few days we had an entire album of photos to go through and pick our favorite ones. I highly recommend Thomas if you are looking for the someone with a true passion for photography to be your wedding photographer. There is no better choice. 10/10

Taking tons of pictures of the fun-filled dance floor for the bride and groom to remember forever. Your vendors can make or break your mood on your special day and vendors like Mind of Mo will make your day. Book them today!

I’m Monica Cassell, and I’m on a mission to ensure your photos are really damn good. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just choosing another vendor who’ll punch in and punch out. Hell no. You’re choosing a comprehensive client experience. I prioritize spending time with you, getting to know you individually and as a couple, and serving you in this season through engagement photos, recommendations, and anything else you might need. By the time you run through the sparkler tunnel to your getaway car, we’ll be so close you might just ask me to come with you (JK, unless it’s Disneyworld).

Monica is beyond AMAZING!!! We love in the Dallas area. She did our Engagement Session in San Antonio and is doing our wedding in Florida. She also did my Bridal portraits and a Boudoir session! She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I was blown away by the images she captured. I even hired her to do multiple branding photoshoots for my company. I trusted her so much and was so impressed that I hired her to do my daughter's wedding in October!!!

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

I cannot express how incredibly thankful we were for choosing McKenna to capture our big day. McKenna was so friendly and charismatic from the start and she fit right into the craziness and chaos of our life without missing a beat. She was flexible and super communicative, especially when it rained on the day of our engagement photos, which really helped to calm our nerves and make the session comfortable and fun. She stepped right into the flow of things on our wedding day and kept everyone on schedule and in good spirits. The photos came back better than I could've imagined and our guests haven't stopped talking about them. To say that McKenna is talented would be an understatement and I'll certainly be asking her to capture the rest of our big life moments!

Alissa with Sweet Bliss Media was very personable and easy to connect with. On my wedding day, she made me feel like it was her life's mission to make me feel and look beautiful in my photographs. Amidst all the craziness of your wedding day, it felt nice to have someone by your side to bring out the beauty. Who is not just there as a photographer for hire, but a forever friend capturing the special moments. Alissa also did things that she was not asked or contracted to, but just out of the kindness of her heart. She brought me bottled water to ensure that I stayed hydrated and even stayed later than we had originally laid out in the contract to make sure that my send-off was captured! She is a sweetheart and even though the photography was the biggest bill of the wedding budget, it was worth every penny, even my husband agrees. The finished product is absolutely stunning and we can’t wait to use her again for our family photos!! We highly recommend Alissa to all brides looking for a wedding photographer.

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.

Irina is an awesome and experienced photographer which is helpful when you have no idea what to expect on your wedding day. She works with you and your coordinator to make sure you get the shots you want. She even recommended some based on previous weddings she did at our venue. The planning process was straightforward and her rates were reasonable. On the day of the wedding she helped us get ready and reassured us that everything would be okay. She never stopped taking pictures and captured some wonderful moments throughout the night. We anxiously awaited our photos and they turned out better than we expected. She did a wonderful job capturing all the important memories. All of the pictures were gorgeous and she really made you feel special. We definitely recommend her to anyone getting married in the Carlsbad area!

I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy? I believe in capturing the big moments, but the small moments too. I believe in being true to yourself and true to each other. I believe in capturing true emotions, both good and bad. I believe that photographs are keys that can unlock the past after years have gone by, and that looking at the past is how we move towards the future.

If you are looking for the stress-free, fair-priced, and perfect shot, Meghan Blanton Photography is your fit. Meghan managed to capture our special day better than I could have dreamed. She was extremely responsive, articulate and really listened to what I wanted. She was able to get all of the pictures we asked for (including our family and friend requests) and pictures I didn't know I needed. Every shot brought me back to that moment. Meghan's thoughtfulness radiates through her photos. One thing that really stood out to me and my guests is Meghan and her team blended right in with the wedding. Neither my guests or family ever felt like the photos were intruding on the important moments and that really meant a lot to me. Once it was all said and done, Meghan and her team wasted no time editing the photos and promptly sharing them to me via an easily accessible dropbox link. To this day, I can still access that link and share any of the high quality photos with my family. I will most certainly be contacting Meghan Blanton Photography in the future for her impeccable services.

Excellent Photographer!!! Loved working with Kendra! She communicated with us throughout the whole process and her images are stunning! On the day of our wedding, she had such a calm presence and made me and my husband feel comfortable and at ease. The only thing I would change, is that I should have booked her for longer. We had a small wedding party and short ceremony so I didn’t think I would need a photographer for more than 6hrs, but I wish I would have booked her to come earlier and capture more of the pre-wedding setup and family time. But her photos are beautiful, both the posed and the candid shots.

It should be all about documenting you for who you really are; whatever your love language may be. I will always do everything I can to make sure your day is spectacular. Transparency is super important to me, so if you have any questions - just ask!

Khali has been an absolute dream come true! Honestly finding a wedding photographer can be such a challenge because there are so many options, especially in the PNW, but we couldn’t be happier that we choose Khali! Her style of photography sets her apart from all the rest and she truly captures every moment perfectly. During our engagement shoot, we felt so comfortable and had an absolute blast, it was in this moment that we knew we made the right choice (even before we got all our photos back). Speaking of our photos, they are incredible and something we will treasure forever. We appreciate how flexible and supportive Khali has been, due to covid we have had to postpone our wedding celebration a few times, we feel so lucky to have such an understanding and honoring vendor like Khali.

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.

Picking Cassie as my wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I ever made around my big day! I was attracted by her folio and style after viewing so many photographers in Boston, and then made the decision to book her through our Zoom meeting. She is really good at telling stories and capturing moments. I was nervous at first which I assume a lot of us do on the wedding day, but Cassie made it really easy for me and my husband through creating an encouraging, light and easy vibe. We feel like we can laugh and dance and make fun however we want in front of her camera and that makes a great wedding photographer. Cassie is also a very talented and professional photographer that is really passionate at her creation and work. She delivered almost 10 different settings for our 2 hour session and each is unique and remarkable. I'd say go over her folio and make sure you like her style, and eventually you will fall in love with her work.

How do I describe my experience with Jaime ? She creates magic. She has captured the most special moments of my family’s life. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a unforgettable and one of a kind photography experience. I first came across Jaime In 2019 while deployed overseas. As I planned a wedding from afar I found her website. Automatically I was drawn to her unique and breathtakingly beautiful photographs. Reaching out to her was the seal of the deal ! She is truly one of the most down to earth and caring individuals I have ever met. Then the pandemic hit and restrictions were set in place for our wedding in September 12th, 2020….oh and not to mention the smokiest day in Spokane’s history. Jaime came out that day and captured so many astonishing and gorgeous photographs. When we got the gallery back it brought my husband and I to tears because she captured our love perfectly.

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.

Jose and Alex were/are phenomenal! They helped make our special day the best day ever! They were fun and super helpful throughout the entire process and really helped to take a lot of the stress off of us during our big day.

I’m Katy, a Michigan based wedding + event photographer. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016. My love for photography started out when I was about 6 years old. I’m a huge goofball, so if you’ve ever thought “I’ll be too awkward in photos," I know what you mean. We can be goofballs together, and I promise I won’t let you look awkward in any of your photos. A little more about me: I'm a foodie. Send bar/restaurant recommendations please! I spend a good portion of my time at concerts when I'm not photographing anything. I'm also a HUUUUGE Detroit Red Wings fan, if you're into any of that, we'll get along great!

Where to begin? Finding Katy was truly one of the biggest blessings of our wedding process. It was very important to find a photographer who we felt had, and actively displayed, the ability to photograph in an inclusive, respectful and honest manner. We are an interfaith couple with family and friends who fall everywhere along the social, identity and religious spectrum. Once we found Katy, we were blown away by the love, care and diversity showcased in her portfolio. Upon meeting with her virtually, we were convinced that she was the right person. Katy is kind, understanding and VERY good at what she does. When it comes to the work, Katy was proactive without being pushy and really took to heart what we wanted out of our photos. Over the course of the experience, we were able to develop a real friendship with her because she is that good of a person. The day of the event, Katy was locked in and on top of everything. Prior to our weekend, she had done an amazing job of giving us prep sheets and coordinating as much detail as possible so the big day could just glide. Katy and her second shooter Jen (who was amazing, too!) were professional, fun and didn't miss a moment of the day. Everything from planned photos to impromptu shots felt fun and natural. Getting back the album completely blew past our expectations. Every photo captured exactly what we had discussed with her. So many photographs left us speechless. Katy should be at the top of your list if you want great photos full of love, care, and magic. She is down to earth and was the only photographer we spoke to that didn't make us feel like we were just another gig for them.

I’m McKenzie, a photographer who embraces my couples who desire physical visual memories of their connection at any level, so you can have the stages of your relationship captured to look back on and remember all of the little things that feel so big; the way they brush your hair out of your face or beam at how beautiful you are, or even the smallest thing like a hand on your thigh. All of these things help you feel exactly how you felt in that moment. If you are here, you are the brave and courageous people who are willing to step in front of my camera and be honestly you, and who desire a photo gallery that makes you feel something.

KNZ Photography Is so great!! She’s so sweet and makes you feel so comfortable, and the images are gorgeous!!! I’ve worked with her on weddings days and have hired her for my own branding session!

I know that you're looking for more than just beautiful wedding photos which is why my work with you doesn't start (or end) there. You deserve an expert- somebody who can give you the best advice & industry secrets. I know the ins & outs of weddings because I live them every weekend & know the very real stress that comes with planning a wedding. Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

We absolutely love Kara! We used her for our engagement, city hall ceremony, and our wedding in Savannah, GA. She is absolutely wonderful. We were so anxious to do our engagement pictures, but she immediately made us feel comfortable and calm. We knew we had to have her for the rest of our wedding. She is so creative and endlessly talented. We are so lucky to have gotten to work with her throughout our engagement/wedding. She also is great at advocating for what YOU want for your day, she helped with the timeline, she answered any question we had, and she also literally stitched my dress up 10 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle - she can do it all haha. We have zero regrets in hiring her. She is the best.

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.

I had no idea I could look so good in photos! Vickie is such a pro and was able to advise us how to use our budget wisely, where to spend and where to save. I knew we were in good hands and she helped us feel so confident. Our wedding day was where Vickie really distinguished herself. Vickie was such an advocate for us! Weddings can be such a medley of people and activities. She was deftly able to navigate us through balky grandparents, daydreaming flowergirls, and everyone in between. All while keeping with the flow of the schedule. Vickie has such a way with people and helped make it a real party! There was some serious crowd management being done, but no one noticed through their own laughter. Of all our vendors, we trusted Vickie V for our most lasting and cherished contribution.

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.

Working with Dominique was an amazing experience, from our initial inquiry to the delivery of our final gallery. Dominique was very sweet, professional and organized, which made it so that my fiancé and I didn't have to stress over anything. She took a genuine interest in getting to know us and our love story, so that our photos would reflect who we are as a couple. Thanks to her help, our photo timeline worked out perfectly with the timeline of our wedding day events. We are absolutely in love with our galleries and love the creative overlap that we were able to achieve. Dominique made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera, which resulted in natural and genuine photos. We had mentioned that detail shots were important to us, and Dominique captured them beautifully. We are beyond happy with our decision to hire Dominique and are excited to have these gorgeous photos to look back on forever. Thank you so much!

Hiya, I am Vital (pronounces Vee-tal), and I am a 20 something guy with a camera in my hands and a cheerful smile. 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. We love to travel domestically and abroad, and I can't imagine life without photos. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Awarded Best of Zola
There were so many great things about working with Vital that I hardly know where to start. We booked him through Zola after going through an overwhelming number of photographers’ portfolios— many beautiful pictures, but none of them felt like “us”. My husband and I are both camera shy and felt very strongly that we didn’t want to spend the whole day posing; Vital completely understood and delivered. From the first communications, he made us feel heard, understood, and supported. We met him for a small engagement shoot in our neighborhood to get acquainted before the big day, and he even brought a Polaroid camera after hearing our first photo together was a Polaroid— just an extremely thoughtful and personal touch that really encapsulates the way Vital works. Leading up to the wedding he was incredibly easy to get in touch with, even sending us questionnaires to understand exactly what we hoped to get out of our day (and what we like about each other as partners). I left feeling like he really wanted to understand US and deliver the photos WE wanted— versus some stock lineup of pictures you’d expect at a wedding. On the day of the wedding he showed up early, was totally prepared, and got to work without instruction. My husband and I were able to relax, soak in the memories, and completely forget a photographer was even there. And the results! He delivered our previews within days, had the full gallery ready in weeks, and the photos were gorgeous. He captured so many little moments that I would’ve otherwise missed. He got so many wonderful candid shots of us, our families, and our friends. Each picture is packed with feeling and energy. It was more than we could’ve dreamed of, and we’ve looked at them over and over since they were delivered. Getting the right photographer for your wedding is a huge decision, but if I had it to do over again I’d book Aesthetic Sabotage without question.

I don't even know where to begin with writing this. Melissa is phenomenal. Full stop. The first time we met her we knew we wanted her to capture our wedding photos. She was so friendly, approachable, and professional. We wanted our photos to capture our personalities, and we knew Melissa could do that. We also knew we could trust her fully to take great photos so that we could relax and enjoy our day. On our wedding day, she made the whole process so seamless, and we really were able to relax and enjoy the day. It was the best. The photos Melissa captured from our wedding day are something we will treasure forever. When the first few showed up online the day after our wedding, our whole family gasped, and there were quite a few tears. The photos are literally perfect. Absolutely better than anything I could have imagined or wanted, and each one feels so unique. When we look at them, it's like we are right back at OUR wedding day, not just any wedding day. There are two more things I have to mention here. 1) Our engagement session was amazing. Melissa spent the day with us up in Madison (where we live) and absolutely captured us and our favorite places in such a heartfelt way. She also made that day so FUN. I was certainly nervous about being photographed so much, but after awhile, it felt like it was just Simon and I there, having fun, together. The photos are a true reflection of that. 2) We had to reschedule our original wedding due to the pandemic. Melissa was super understanding and made our new date work for us. Overall, Melissa is an artist. She is someone I would trust completely again and again to capture the most important moments in my life and the lives of those I love. Thank you!!

I’m a photographer, a mom, a wife, a snowboarder, a surfer, a roller coaster enthusiast, a college instructor, and a former mechanical engineer. I recently earned my Ph.D. in Education (but you don’t have to call me Dr.)! I have an extremely short attention span, am addicted to wearing beanies, and am fueled by chai tea. I'm socially awkward most of the time I'm in public, and I make weird faces when I concentrate to take photos. I dress for comfort and for rolling around on the ground, standing in creeks, and climbing into trees to capture the best angles for my photographs — but I do clean up reasonably well on wedding days!

Awarded Best of Zola
We used her for our engagement shoot & wedding photos. We didn’t realize that you should choose your wedding photography *style* before you reach out to potential photographers. If you go the other route—book first, learn about the style later—you may end up with photos that don’t match your vision. We came to Carrie after our first photographer disappointed us. She has more of a documentary style with less of an emphasis on the awkwardly posed photos. However, she will still go the extra effort to get an amazing poses shot if you ask. She has such a laid back and positive attitude. I recommend Carrie to anyone looking for beautiful images and a wedding day that doesn’t feel like a photoshoot. She’s a true professional.

I've been pushing off this review because I just can't find a way to put into words how AMAZING Rob & Lyndi were. Not only were they just all around good people and a pleasure to work with, but they were able to capture some of the best moments of our wedding...SO tough to pick our favorites! I came across Sugar Rush Photo + Video while scrolling through a million different wedding photographer websites and I was sold on their casual/super approachable tone and the great candid shots they featured. My husband and I typically shy away from the camera, but loved the idea of being able to see our guests at their best when they weren't looking. Rob & Lyndi were super responsive the entire time (note: we brought them on with a little over a year to go) and made the whole process easy for us. A lot of people wondered why we were flying our photographers in from Utah, but after the wedding and after looking at the photos, it became clear to everyone. They flew into SF for our outdoor October wedding weekend and it was like we were meeting long lost friends even though we had only exchanged emails. They rocked it at our welcome pig roast and it felt like they were part of the family. That Saturday, they split getting ready duties between two locations, got us ready for a first look in the park before our outdoor ceremony and made each of us look waaaayy better/way more glamorous than we'd ever looked before and captured some great moments with our family. For our formals, we set loose on the city and Lyndi captured what a coworker called the best wedding picture ever in front of the Painted Ladies in Alamo Square Park. We squeezed in a second location before heading into our reception just for fun! We kinda felt like fancy fashion models as we looked through our gallery. The reception was a blast and our guests kept pulling us aside saying how it felt like our photographers were just an extension of our friends and family and that they were just so fun to be around. Rob & Lyndi have such amazing energy and it oozes onto everyone they interact with. I highly recommend them for weddings, engagements (wish we had done that!) and anything else...especially if you're not that comfortable in front of the camera! They make you feel so at ease and like you're laughing with your most inappropriate and hilarious friends. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

Anj Photographer

Ridgefield, NJ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • 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.

My husband and I worked with Anj for our engagement photos in Spring 2023 and our wedding photography on September 30, and we are very happy with the results! Anj was kind, talented, affordable, and a pleasure to work with. We loved our engagement photos in Wissahickon Park. Anj spoke with us before both projects to get a sense of what we wanted, and she understood our desire for unpretentious, mostly candid, true-to-life yet elevated style in the photos. She was excellent in directing our families on the wedding day for posed family and bridal party photos in an unfamiliar location. Several of our family members told us afterward that they were impressed with her organization and clear directions she gave them. And she suggested we have a friend do a video of our first look while she photographed it, which was the best decision we made. The moment was intimate and we forgot she or anyone else was in the room. The pictures of this turned out so well too! She took pictures of me getting ready with my bridesmaids and was well-liked by everyone there including the hair stylists and my little niece. I was really nervous in the beginning of the day and she really helped me feel centered. And towards the end of the night, Anj even helped instruct us how to cut our wedding cake when we couldn't find a staff person at our venue to do so - while taking photos of us at the same time! To summarize, she gave us exactly what we wanted, was friendly and efficient, returned photos in very fast (about 4 weeks), and was very professional and calm. We highly recommend her wedding and engagement photography 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 🖤

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.

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.

Seattle, WA

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.

Choosing Marla as my wedding photographer was the best decision. She is amazing at what she does, responded to us quickly and provided the most amazing pictures I will cherish forever. She helped us have a smooth wedding day and made sure we both felt our best on our special day.

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 cannot recommend Carey enough. We were supposed to get married a month after the pandemic hit and changed our wedding date 4 times as a result. Carey was so understanding, patient, and such a pleasure to work with throughout the stressful process (of what spanned to almost 2 years). Moreover, I appreciate Carey's easy going nature which makes everything much more comfortable and effortless (in front of the camera as well). We received countless compliments on how amazing she is. And her photos--well they speak for itself. Carey did our engagement, elopement, and wedding shoot and I love every single photo she takes. I cannot recommend Carey enough!
