Abigail Saalfrank Photography

Fort Wayne, IN
  • Classic style

  • Serves Merced, CA for additional fees

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abigail is hands down the BEST wedding photographer. My sister first used Abbey for her wedding in 2019 and when I got married in 2021, I already knew I wanted to book her. I looked at other photographers work, but nothing even compared to the beautifully flawless photos my sister had. Abbey’s work definitely exceeded our expectations for our own wedding and we couldn’t be happier that we booked her! She was accommodating to all of our requests and came prepared with the information I had provided in advance. Photography is one thing you don’t want to skimp on for your big day and if you want hundreds of gorgeous images, capturing every detail, then you need to book Abbey!

I will do my best to stop those moments in time for you to experience forever. I am witty, goofy, sarcastic, open-minded, & honest. I will be your ultimate third wheel.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot describe how amazing Emily & her husband (2nd shooter) are!!!! Not only are they the sweetest people and cutest couple but they are so talented!!!! Emily is such a hype woman and someone you will thoroughly enjoy rooting you on while you take photos on such an important day! We felt so at ease and comfortable with them. We had zero doubt our photos would turn out amazing and dang did they deliver!! Emily was so thoughtful with poses and understanding hesitancies I had about certain photo angles (I hate a solid side profile and of course have imo a good side lol). She made sure we were comfortable and had just enough direction for stunning photos! Emily was also so helpful leading up to wedding day with timeline, organization, and opinions on lighting & dance floor color for the best reception photos. Things that honestly are not her job necessarily but she was more than willing to hop on a call anytime and talk through things with me. Do not hesitate booking her! You will absolutely not regret it!

Hello! I’m so excited for the chance to work with you. I’m a former teacher who has always had a passion for photography. I started working freelance in 2015 and did a lot of my first jobs in the music industry! I’ve shot Warped Tour a few times and even had one of my promos featured by AP magazine. I quickly realized I loved working with couples the most, and now focus on couple and family portraits and weddings!

White House, TN
  • Classic style
  • Serves Merced, CA for additional fees

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.

Diana is amazing! She captured my wedding day perfectly and was a joy to work with! She is very organized and helped the day go smoothly as well as making us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Gemini Sun Creative

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Merced, CA for additional fees

Gemini Sun Creative is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer serving Northern California, NYC, Upstate NY & Philadelphia. Owner, Daniela Monzi, specializes in elopement and intimate wedding photography. With each couple she works with, she strives to show off the unique traits of their love story in every photo. Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dani, the amazing photographer-artist behind Gemini Sun Creative, is EVERYTHING you want and need in a wedding photographer. Starting from when we first sent her an inquiry, her way of communicating to us is very personal. Of all the photographers we contacted, she’s the only one who followed us on instagram and introduced herself. This simple gesture made us feel special—it makes you aware that there’s a real person behind this IG handle who genuinely wants to connect, get to know you and offer help. I moved to New York City (from the Philippines) two weeks before our wedding. A day after I arrived, my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Dani and her husband at a Cuban dancing bar. We shared stories and belly-laughs. She’s easy to get along with, her vibe makes you feel safe and comfortable to be yourself. When we told her we want our photoshoot in Brooklyn Bridge Park because we saw it in the movie Past Lives, she eagerly watched it for us, “so I can nail it”, she said. The day of our wedding came and there was a heavy downpour in New York City (this was a day before the flood). Dani was so sweet to get us umbrellas prior meeting up. The rain, which one might think of as an inconvenience on a wedding day, actually turned out to be a blessing. Because of it, there were only few people in the park; it also left some puddles you can see light reflections from, which Dani keenly noticed and took advantage of. She has the eye for great photo composition that makes the subject really stand out. At the start of the photoshoot, she gave us a few pointers and shared tips. And because she took the time to get to know us and our love story, she reminded us about how special that day really is—how we braved LDR together for more than 2 years; that now we’re finally living in the same city, married, and starting a new life together. That sweet reminder made us feel grounded, it helped ease us up to just savor the moment. We were still riding our wedding high when we received her email with our entire gallery attached. We weren’t expecting our photos to be available so fast! In only 90 mins of shooting, we got 200 professionally edited and graded photos we can treasure for a lifetime. They turned out exactly how we dreamed of—beautifully captured, dreamy, indie film vibe. She really nailed it! Whenever I look back on our wedding day, I remember feeling grounded, calm and in love. Then I would look at the pictures and see those same feelings. The movie Past Lives introduced to us the concept of “in-yun”—it’s a Korean word for fate that connects people. My husband and I strongly believe that meeting Dani and having her do our elopement photoshoot is in-yun. I know words fall short when expressing your thoughts and feelings. Believe me when I say, if Dani is your wedding photographer, you can focus all your energy on just enjoying your special day, as you should. She will make sure you have all of your fond memories immortalized on photographs.

I work full-time as a fashion and wedding photographer, and promise to get all of your Arrested Development references. I'm not here to ask you to smile and look at the camera - I'm here to be your pal and make some beautiful keepsakes to look back on!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I first reached out to Alexandra after seeing her dramatic photography that looked like it had been ripped out of a magazine, she responded promptly with so much enthusiasm that choosing her was a no brainer. She didn’t balk when our original plans for a big wedding turned into an elopement, or when those plans turned into a micro wedding(we eloped in Paris but had a small backyard family ceremony). And though I was completely all over the place planning two weddings and dealing with some personal issues, she always stayed on top of communication even when I didn’t. She wore the CUTEST pink jumpsuit on our big day and had such infectious energy that kept me calm and excited even as it felt like things were not going as planned. And the photos! I longed for editorial style photography and she delivered that and more. I’m sure it’s normal for a bride to look at her wedding photos all the time, but the way I look at my own photos (plus Alexandra’s other beautiful weddings) borders obsession! I am in awe of how she amazingly captures love and how my love was immortalized through her lens. Not a day goes by where I’m not forever grateful that I came across her work, that she loved what my husband and I wrote about enjoying wrestling and Tenacious D, and that she gave us the most gorgeous representation of our special day. I literally cannot wait till I have another reason to shoot with her!

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 was fantastic to work with! She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding day. She is creative, talented, and her organization puts her at such a high level of professionalism. She followed through on all our wishes and captured our special day perfectly. 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

We are still in awe...Laura made our engagement shoot day feel far beyond special. We recently got engaged and visited Arizona to celebrate. We are in love with the scenery in Arizona and knew we had to do our engagement shoot there. Laura truly made our vision come true. She took us to Sedona where she treated us with not only the most breathtaking views of the mountains, but she also took us off-roading through the mountains on her Jeep Wrangler!!! I mean, how cool is that? Throughout the shoot, she made us feel super comfortable and I'm not one for pictures, but I felt so confident. We cannot thank Laura enough! Her work is extraordinary and we will definitely be booking her for our wedding. Thank you so much Laura!

Hi, I'm Katy! I've been a photographer and videographer for over 17 years and I love working with couples to create beautiful, artistic photos and films! My visual style tends to be soft with bright lighting, earthy/vibrant tones, a shallow depth of field (blurred backgrounds and foregrounds), and a mix of prompted and candid poses. My energy tends to be pretty calming, which can help people look and feel more natural in their photos and on video. I enjoy artistic collaboration and I love hearing your ideas and seeing your Pinterest inspiration boards!

We feel so lucky to have found Katy as our videographer. While we were on our honeymoon she sent the link to our wedding video and we got to relive the day through her exquisite footage and editing.

I knew from our first message exchange that Shelby was the right choice for our us. She’s so down to Earth and was always on the same page as us. The photo shoot itself was a ton of fun, and spending that time with her was like hanging out with a friend who was also a professional photographer. I’ll also note that my wife - who tends to be a bit particular about things - left me in charge of finding the photographer, and she hasn’t stopped praising me for what a great choice I made with Shelby. This level of praise is something that almost never happens, so thank you Shelby for helping me score some points!

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

We hired Lerina for our 2021 wedding and she stuck with us through pandemic reschedules with such empathy. We were both uncomfortable being in front of the camera but she was so easy to work with and ensured things went as quickly as possible for us. It was so helpful to have the engagement shoot included so that we could see what we'd be in for on the big day. The engagement photos came quickly and were beautiful. On our Wedding day Lerina and her team were early, and helped keep things moving. The preview photos came within a week and were stunning. A few weeks later we got the full set and were blown a way. She captured all of the moments we wanted perfectly. I would recommend Lerina to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer, or franky any professional photos!

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

They are amazing to work with, so easy going. Our photos ALWAYS turn out amazing and that’s rare! It’s hard to pick a favorite.

When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and crime documentaries.

Awarded Best of Zola
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 :)

Chris is great with communicating with my wife and i for poses for the pics. He is also receptive to my wife's suggestions on poses she would like. Chris is also great work with our 2 year old daughter, focusing on making her laugh and taking her pictures at the right moments. Backgrounds for our photoshoot are beautiful.

I'm a Las Vegas based professional wedding photographer, working with couples from all over the world, as well as a travelling wedding photographer. Along with adoring weddings, I'm a serious hockey fan, with silver hair, and a terribly awkward smile. When I’m not photographing people, I love photographing Lego Minifigs on location, Darth Vader being a favorite (and personal hero) but I like expanding my collection of character portraits. I have a wicked sense of humor, a weakness for Rom Com’s & Spanish red wine. In my personal time I work closely with a local dog rescue, as a foster home and photographer, helping find their furever homes.

Victoria was the so much fun and completely understood what we wanted from our wedding photos. She has taken the most amazing wedding photos filled with colour. Victoria was so excited for us and that excitement was captured in the photographs. We really enjoyed the shoot. Could only say good things about Victoria. Highly recommend

Paula is absolutely amazing. I met with a few different photographers as we were planning our wedding and I instantly felt so comfortable with her and excited to plan the experience with her. I am SO GLAD I trusted myself and booked Paula. She was genuine, open to our ideas while offering input where needed as we planned. And, although my husband and I are both not very comfortable with cameras pointed at us, she made both our engagement pictures and our wedding day fun and special, without any awkwardness. I love our pictures, more than I thought was possible. Honestly, I suspect magic was involved because even my dog (a rescue who usually looks incredibly sad in pictures) looks perfect and adorable in the pictures. Paula also created an album for us and I cannot stop looking at it. It's beautiful and I am so glad we have that to remember the day. We cannot thank Paula enough for everything! We did a hiking elopement, but I know she'd be terrific for so many different types of weddings!! Thank you Paula!!

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.

We cannot wait to meet you!

Awarded Best of Zola
TL;DR: 15/10 -- She simplifies EVERYTHING about wedding planning AND takes the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. She will be taking our pictures for the rest of our lives. They are incredible. Kyra from beginning to end made everything absolute perfection. The pictures, my sanity, basically everything. We brought her to Crozet, VA for our engagement photos and our big day. Pre-Engagement get to know you session: We face-timed for 2.5 hours (not required just happened naturally). She cares about everything and anything you want to share and supports your vision. Engagement Session: She took the time (right after having a baby nonetheless) to come to us and make sure we were happy and comfortable in every way. Kyra got to know Dan (my husband) better and is the only person to this day that can make him smile naturally for pictures. Planning: Kyra provided anything and everything I needed or didn't know I needed. Refined/recommended timelines, pictures, hair styles, dresses, snacks for getting ready, laughter, you name it, she did it. If I had another vendor I needed a second opinion on, she reviewed their work. If I wasn't sure on chicken or crab cakes, she knew what would be a crowd pleaser. Basically she had wisdom and advice well beyond her years to accompany her incredible talent. Weekend of: Kyra and Heather came out early and scoped out the best locations for everything indoors and outside at the exact time the ceremony would be held to make sure the lighting was perfect. Day of: I would have fallen apart without her. Every picture she took was of real, candid, happy moments that my brain was too stressed to miss. When I ripped my dress, she and Heather whipped out sewing scissors to fix the problem. They kept the train moving and captured every moment beautifully. Best to have a photographer dancing with y'all to get the moment just right, and she does that. If I could give more stars I would.

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 would love to share full galleries with you and would be HONORED to create art with you on your dreamiest day! STORYTELLING is the best part of my career! Telling the story of your day in an artistic way is what drives me day in and day out.

Jules and her husband were so amazing to work with. My husband and I were both very nervous and they made us very comfortable right off the bat. We wanted a moody but organic vibe and boy did they deliver. There was the perfect mix of candid shots and posed shots and the photos captured of our special day exceded any and all of our expectations. Never in my life have I seen a photo of myself looking and feeling so beautiful. I was like THIS IS ME?! THIS IS US?! 10/10

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Mel was an absolute pleasure to work with! So fun, outgoing, professional & made our photos look better than we could’ve imagined!

San Rafael, CA

  • Serves Merced, CA for additional fees

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Working with Harrison is always a pleasure. He is prompt, professional, and delivers top-tier quality. When first starting out he was happy to provide us advice, and has provided technical assistance onsite on a number of occasions. You can't go wrong when collaborating with Harrison on an event, or on anything else.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for experienced professionals, look no further than Sugar Rush. On my wedding day, Jena introduced herself with a big, giant hug and immediately made me feel so comfortable and excited for the big day ahead! I knew right away I was in great hands. Jena was funny, personable, experienced, patient and extremely flexible. Stephanie, our second photographer, was also a master at handling all of the wild goose chases we sent her on. From finding my future-husband's cabin without an address to figuring out how to capture a non-traditional venue, she took it all in stride and was always three steps ahead of us. Now, I cannot imagine having anyone else there for us on our wedding day. They were so helpful, hyping us up through each photo, and able to take any pivot we threw at them. I highly recommend this team and I wished I lived in the SLC-area so I could force them to be friends with me!!

She knows how to pose her clients to hide things we might be insecure about and the results are incredible. I can’t say enough about her and husband.

We are all here for you. All your family, your friends and I (yes, me too!) are here to honor you on your wedding day! As excited as I am to get to the dancefloor with you guys, I know a lot of planning goes into making your day special. As your photographer, I’ve been to a few weddings and am just a call or text away from any insight you might want. I approach every wedding with the same mentality, how can I tell the story of today in the most real way possible? I’ve found the best way to do that is to just be me. I allow myself to be present and listen to the stories unfold throughout the day.

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with Alyssa! From the very beginning she was always very kind, very quick to respond, and very professional. We did our engagement photos and our wedding day photos with her. She did an amazing job capturing our special moments and ensuring we were comfortable throughout. Alyssa was very easy to work with and took the time to get to know us. She captured the little moments of our big day that were unique to us. Whenever we gave her any type feedback or ideas during a photoshoot for something we wanted, she made it happen. Additionally, we received our photos (both engagement and wedding) on time based on our initial contract. We LOVE how our photos turned out and absolutely recommend you use Alyssa as your photographer!!
