We met with Oleg for the first time and he was so detailed and excited about what he does. It made us excited to work with him! We sent inspo on what we wanted for our engagement shoot and shared what our vision was for our wedding. He captured it all perfectly! We chose to do our engagement shoot at The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. Oleg was on time and made the experience so much fun. I am very camera shy but he made us both feel very comfortable and captured candid moments of us purely having fun. On our wedding day, Oleg and his team arrived and conquered it all! They were a joy to work with and soooo organized. They created a 1-min movie-quality video for us the next day and returned some photos as a sneak-peek. I CANNOT WAIT to see everything else he captured from our special day! I would work with Oleg and his team over and over again!

Anaheim, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,600

Your wedding album transcends time as a cherished heirloom, destined to be passed down through generations. Each detail of your special day merits an exquisite capture, narrating your unique love story with grace and authenticity. Our approach ensures that your wedding remains a celebration of love and not merely a production set for photography, preserving the essence of your day in a luxurious and timeless manner.

I don’t even know where to start, I can’t remember how I came across Kaitlin’s business but I’m so glad I did. She couldn’t have been sweeter. I was on a tight budget and after I received her pricing (which was very fair) I let her know it was out of my budget and she immediately offered to work within my budget and talk through what we could do. I also had my heart set on a videographer and she brought in her friend Nicole, they made the best team and worked so well together. They even offered to meet me for coffee and see the first look spot so I’d feel more comfortable the day of. Fast forward to the important part, Kaitlin is calm, professional, and truly wants the best for what you want during your special day. She does not pressure you to get a shot that doesn’t make you feel comfortable because she wants you to remember the parts of the day most important to you. We received sneak peek photos within 24 hours which was so impressive and they were beautiful, it had me counting down the days until the full album was done! We loved our photos and our friends and family had so many great things to say about them as well. You won’t regret hiring Kaitlin!

Costa Mesa, CA

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

Working with Hannah for my wedding photos was the best decision I made! She is so incredibly talented, creative and just a wonderful person. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera but Hannah made us so comfortable and coached us through the portraits you wouldn’t be able to tell. And let me tell you they came out the most beautifully aesthetic photos ever. These are not cookie cutter photos, her candid photos of the night captured the vibe and personality of the wedding and all of the guests and told a story of the night so perfectly. I actually cry every time I think of my great great grandchildren looking at these pictures one day and think ‘wow they were so cool and beautiful’. I cannot recommend Hannah enough!!!

Hi we're so glad you're here, Hello I'm Nardia and my husband's name is Dan. We are a husband + wife photo + video team and we love capturing the adventure and intimacy that we find in real relationships.

Foolishly Rushing In was an absolute dream to work with. We worked with them to capture both our engagement and wedding day. No matter how awkward you may feel in front of a camera, they somehow capture your love in such a pure and honest form. If you are very particular about color grading, you'd be happy to know that theirs is consistent and just gorgeous throughout! We loved how the end result wasn't too "posey," but looked natural and candid. Their films are incredible works of art, going in perfect sync with music to create such a gorgeous product. It was such a joy to work with them and we continue recommending them to everyone we know!

Nick Cruz Photography, LLC

5.0

Costa Mesa, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

We had the best experience working with Nick (and Mackenzie) on our big day. I cannot recommend Nick Cruz Photography enough! All of our photos are so beautiful and exceeded our (high) expectations. We could not have asked for better photos or a better photographer. Getting married during COVID meant a lot of last-minute changes in plans and Nick was so supportive and willing to work with us to make sure we captured all aspects of the day safely. And he is so personable - we had a total of 13 people at our wedding, so it was a very small group, all immediate family, but he fit right in! He was super organized and had a shot list to make sure we didn't miss any typical wedding photos. His website for photo delivery makes it so easy to view/download photos and he got us some sneak peaks super fast. Overall, we had such a great experience with Nick and plan to use him for all other big life events that require photography! (He also did our engagement - those photos were amazing too! He worked with my husband to pop out of the trees and capture the actual proposal.)

Thank you for stopping by my website! My name is Yuki, and I am a photographer based in Southern California. Since I was little, I've had a camera in my hands wherever I go, and it has been my passion to photograph unforgettable moments. My influence came from my father who is a semi-pro photographer and videographer in Japan, and his journalistic photography style encouraged me to anticipate the moments and capture natural impressions. The moments I capture become the past, but what inspires me is seeing people’s reactions to the photographs I take. It is my hope that these moments become timeless. Often clients tell me that having a photo can bring back the feelings and memories of that moment, which is why I launched Yukipix Photography, LLC.

When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks.

From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

I feel like I can't say enough amazing things about Adam and his team. I met Adam prior to even getting engaged and knew immediately I'd want to use him as our photographer (which was solidified after our engagement session with him). He is so genuine and truly wants the best for your big day. Was always available for questions via email, text or call. On the Big Day he was organized and had everything and everyone running smoothly. Everyone felt comfortable in front of the camera, even the guys! I had guests during the wedding coming up to me saying how awesome our photographer was. We received previews from him that weekend and OMG- tears of joy. You are crazy talented Adam! Can you photograph my life always? We love you! -J&S

Awarded Best of Zola
Before my engagement pictures, I was like most men that thought any photographer will do.. but boy did I get proven wrong. After going over his portfolio and discussing my fiancé’s ideas for pictures, I started to think photographer were somewhat important… but boy did my opinion change again.. I didn’t understand his true talent until my personal experience with him. Not only did he save the day by changing our location due to horrible weather at our desire location, but he also use the weather as a statement to some of the pictures. Living in Las Vegas, we wanted a more natural environment that did not contain the city lights, and he delivered. Not only did he use all the poses that we pre-requested (which shows his attention to detail and organizational skills), he also thought outside the box by creating ideas in the moment with things around the new location. He constantly said jokes and made us laugh to assure we looked as happy as possible in every photos. Even when we requested and suggested different poses and features to be included in the moment, he always took those pictures and built from those idea to other amazing photos. Just when I thought we did a great job finishing the photo shoot as the rain began poring, I got proven wrong again. As we drove away from the now raining location, he found a rainbow where he asked if we would be willing to pull over and get a little wet for the money shot— and boy was that a MONEY SHOT like Jordan. Not only was the picture perfect, but simply remembering the experience of capturing that moment makes it that much more special. This is indeed my favorite picture and most people do not believe that we lived that experience because we look “photoshopped.” I know this is getting long, but I need to share that his editing skills are on point. He definitely edits to customers’ preferences, and he makes a good picture look great, and a great picture look phenomenal. Did I mention that he gets straight to work on his editing that we received an handful in less than 24 hours, and our whole portfolio in less than 2 weeks. Although the the price may sound expensive at first my guys, he definitely deserves that amount. His craft, creativity and passion for capturing your stories makes him worth every cent.

A couple and their pets hiking in the woods...jumping in the waves at sunset...a bride dancing down the aisle...my goal is to document every scene of your story, so you can hold onto it forever. Whatever the occasion, whatever the venue, I strive to make the most out of life, capturing vibrant, authentic smiles, celebrating each moment, and spreading positive vibes. We only have one life to live...so let’s enjoy it! Though I specialize in couples photography, engagement sessions, and weddings in the Santa Barbara / Southern California area, I’m also available for maternity sessions and destination weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could truly write a novel about why Sarah was the most incredible photographer/human! First and foremost, her photos are absolutely stunning. There were certain types of photos I wanted to get and she took the effort to make sure we got each one of them. My now HUBBY and me are not the biggest fans of posed photos and she made us feel comfortable with them while also getting lots of candids. I very often have a derp face in photos, and on a day where I felt so much joy and was unaware of my face, she captured the moments in between where I wasn't full-on smiling, mouth open...all the things us ladies worry about :) She not only took beautiful photos, she was very organized and communicative leading up to the day (and even after, when she has so many other weddings on the horizon!), and then worked quickly to get the shots she needed so everyone could maximize their drinking/dancing time. When my wedding planner had to leave mid-day, she stepped in to help and was just a calming presence on a day that can be quite stressful leading up to the ceremony. It takes a special kind of human to not only deal with the pressure of photographing someone's wedding but balancing the different personalities and timelines was a whole other beast, and Sarah handled everything flawlessly. Lastly, we had a small wedding of about 70 people and each person was so very intentional, and it was very important to us that we worked with someone that felt like part of our crew, that could hang with us and have a good time. Sarah felt like (and is!) a friend and joined the party to capture some really beautiful moments with our friends and family. I was so happy when she jumped in and danced to Robyn with all of us :) The cliché is true that it's the best day of your life and that it passes by so quickly, and I'm just so glad that Sarah was there to capture all the fleeting moments and also the ones that we weren't around to witness. We could not recommend her more and would shout from the mountaintops how incredible she is!

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephen was more than a photographer, he basically helped me plan my elopement. He talked me through the pros and cons of various locations, and helped me think through the process of obtaining a license for photography. He took time to understand that we were striving for a simple, but intimate wedding; he was patient with our cranky 2 year old; and endlessly gracious with our elderly parents who were along for the ride. Importantly, my husband and I are terrible at being photographed (we are awkward) and Stephen made us feel at ease with our surroundings. I would hire Stephen again in a heartbeat.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Overall I would say Isaac and Love Knot Photography are just what I was hoping to find in a wedding photographer. Someone who is very creative, friendly, organized and experienced. I could totally trust he would see to it that my photos were taken care of in every way possible. The standard photos you would expect at a wedding and unique photos that were original to our seashore location all turned out great! The photos started as we were getting ready. Isaac took some beautiful shots of the wedding dress and important jewelry I was wearing. Abstract moments before the ceremony were a blur in my mind and it was so fun to relive the events through the behind the scenes photos. Isaac and his team got some great photos of all the little ceremonies we had scripted for the ceremony program as well as the games and activities during the reception. Taking different ideas and types of shots for the sunset photos was one of my favorite parts of the day. For me it was a chance to get away from the party for a moment and fun to work with Isaac one on one and see the ideas he had for taking some photographs that will be special forever. During our sparkler grand exit, Isaac was very helpful in organizing our guests. As well as my husband and I. The photos turned out very romantic. Some of my favorites of the whole day. Thank you Isaac and Love Knot!

My husband and I chose Anna to photograph our wedding on 5/20/23 and we cannot speak highly enough of her! Anna made the planning process easy and enjoyable. She was organized and responded quickly to all of our questions. On our actual wedding day, Anna had the best energy and was so fun to be around! Many of our guests commented on how friendly and professional she was. When plans had to change last minute due to weather, she was quick to come up with a solution and even quicker to reassure us that everything would be fine! We loved how flexible and easy going she was - it made the day so much more enjoyable for us. When we received our pictures (which was VERY shortly after the wedding) we were absolutely thrilled with how they came out! Anna took the time to understand our style and what we wanted and she DELIVERED!! We cannot recommend her enough!!

My approach to wedding photography is one part editorial and one part sentimental candids. I want to capture all the details you have chosen to have on your wedding day and all the guests you have invited to share this moment. You will have a fun & joyful experience and receive natural-looking, artful photos that look like they belong in a magazine. My edit is a bright, true-to-color crisp edit. I care deeply about skin tones looking true to life, and my edit is centered around that.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for a photographer who will exceed your expectations and deliver timeless, breathtaking photos, look no further than Ashley. Her attention to detail and passion for capturing the perfect shot truly sets her apart. From the beginning, Ashley was a pleasure to work with, making communication effortless and stress-free. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and her creativity and expertise shone through in every frame. She took the time to learn the names of our wedding party and immediate family. It really made them feel important as well as showed her commitment to us having an easy stress-free day! Ashley's ability to capture candid moments is truly remarkable. She has a keen eye for those special, unplanned moments that truly reflect the emotions and atmosphere of our wedding day. Looking through the photos, we were transported back to those heartfelt, joyous moments, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We also had the pleasure of having Ashely do our engagement and welcome party pictures. The smiles, excitement and love were all perfectly captured in pictures we will have forever. Not only did Ashley deliver outstanding candid shots, but her overall quality of work was exceptional. The composition, lighting, and attention to detail in every photograph were simply stunning. The reason for that is due to her incredible work ethic. She was a huge part of our timeline planning to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted from our shot wish list. After shooting a long wedding day, she was able to provide sneak peaks the day after our wedding for us to reminisce the day after! The happy tears remembering how amazing our wedding day was. We can’t say enough about how talented she is! Working with Ashley was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She was professional, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable in front of the camera. Her calming presence and ability to make everyone feel at ease allowed us to relax and enjoy our day while she captured the magic unfolding. We are so grateful we were able to book Ashley and can’t wait for future events to work with her again!

I was impressed that they were always nearby, but blending perfectly with the guests! She was always super professional, always on time, and kept us calm amidst all the wedding chaos.

She is very professional, always on time/punctual with appointments and prompt email replies. She has a very in depth understanding of shadows, light, angles. I appreciate how she directs us on poses and she is very accommodating.

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

I provide a positive, thoughtful photography experience that ensures you’ll get the photos of your dreams and have space to be present with your community. It’s an honor to join you in celebrating your brand new marriage and I make it a point to understand what you value the most. I don’t over edit or correct your photos, but instead capture the natural colors, details, and soft smiles of your wedding as you actually experienced them. The result? Timeless, classic photos that never go out of style or off trend.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could go on about her but I'll try to be brief - Kyrsten was absolutely incredible at making me and my now-husband feel comfortable in our own skin. We talked on the phone when I first reached out and immediately hit it off, which was easy because she is sassy and says it like it is which I absolutely love. She took our engagement photos on the hottest day of the summer and we had a blast even with sweat dripping down our backs. She had us laughing the whole time and we even wound up in a fountain! I did bridal portraits with her a month before my wedding and it gave me so much peace of mind to know what to expect for the wedding day and to see how everything photographed. At our wedding, Kyrsten made quick work of getting through our large families while keeping the peace amid the chaos. We are obsessed with our engagement photos and my bridal portraits and are anxiously awaiting our wedding photos! I can not recommend Kyrsten enough - but make sure you book her early, she books up fast! Her personality is infectious and her tips and tricks for creating natural smiles and laughter are the funniest!

Sam is the best! When I told her I wanted to do a desert shot for my engagement shoot, she was able to immediately suggest a location. And the shots came out super cool! Fast forward to our wedding day, Sam captured every moment of our wedding! This was critical for us, as we opted out of getting a videographer, but we really didn't need it! When I saw our photo gallery, I was reliving the wedding day each step of the way. Sam's super professional, organize, creative, and easy to work with. I will book her for my maternity shoot!

We are so glad we found Jazz for our elopement photography in Vegas. After initial enquiry and chat over email, Jazz arranged a Zoom call so that we could 'meet' her, which we really valued as it was so important we picked someone we truly vibed with, especially as we had no family or friends joining us so photos were all we would have to share with them. Jazz did an amazing job of capturing us and the Vegas vibes we really wanted. Her photography style really suited our colourful aesthetic without being too harsh or vibrant, exactly what we were after. Jazz kept things fun and light, she had hilarious tactics to make us laugh at the right moments (required for two awkward Brits like us haha) and she chose excellent photography spots based on our mood board. We couldn't recommend Jazz more!

I have traveled and photographed weddings and engagement shoots all over the country including internationally. I still get nervous before every wedding I photograph. If I didn’t have nervous tension, I probably would have lost the drive and passion for what I love doing the most. The reason for my love of wedding photography is simple: I love spending the day with brides and grooms creating wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. I hunt for moments that cannot be recreated or relived. I love capturing the raw emotion of a wedding day. I want to be the best not only for myself but especially for my clients.

We highly recommend hiring Pete for your wedding day! A great experience from phone consult all the way to the delivery of photos and videos. Pete was super easy to talk to and very thorough in discussing the process and what to expect on the wedding day. He helped talk me through a good rough day-of timeline on the phone as well. On the day of him and his team were promptly on time, professional, and super fun to work with! The bridal party all had great things to say and his organization and professionalism ensured that the day flowed smoothly (and also made me feel super relaxed and easy going about things). Pete was flexible when timing was running behind (on our end) and made it work where we still got in the photos we needed to. He also was super great about fixing my dress for photos so that it would look great. His crew was super fun and it was an overall great experience. Captured so many little moments that were special and significant! I have nothing but positive things to say and would definitely hire him again in the future and highly recommend you do too! After the wedding he got photos back to us quickly and worked with me to make sure we liked the content and music of the highlight video. He was available to answer any questions I had and is just a great dude in general, everyone really liked him and several people came up to me to say that the photographer and team were awesome! Thank you Pete! So glad we worked together and we wish you all the success and good things in life!

I believe that love inspires art. Your wedding day will most likely be a blur of joy, nerves, and excitement with some extraordinary moments in between. Using both film and digital mediums, I balance a combination of both editorial and photojournalistic styles with a fine art approach. This collaboration will allow you both to fully enjoy each and every moment, as we tell the story of your wedding day. Wedding photography is an investment that lasts a lifetime, it’s the part of your wedding day that lives on. This is your love story, told in a classic, authentic, and timeless way.

Not enough positive things can be said about this lady - she is just phenomenal. She made the whole day so smooth & really listened to what my Fiancé and I were looking for in our photos. She gave us suggestions & just made us feel so comfortable. She is also like the ultimate hype girl - she made me feel so beautiful all day! She just goes above and beyond in every aspect of her job - she really prioritizes her couples. She made sure to ask in advance about what photos were important to us, what group shots we wanted, and what we wanted our timeline to look like. She arrived early, she left late, and ran on all cylinders the entire day. Oh and our engagement photos were beautiful & made us both so comfortable with her on our wedding day. I can’t say enough good things & I believe I found both a friend & photographer for life!

Jacob was an absolute pleasure to work with for our civil marriage and engagement photography. He was very friendly, informative, easy to communicate with and quick to respond from the moment that we reached out to him to inquire for his photo services. He was very flexible to work with, genuine throughout the entire process and made us feel so comfortable during the photography session although we are not naturals at being photographed. Jacob also had great advice on helping to make our photo session meaningful and memorable beyond just getting the amazing shots that he was able to capture. He was very in-tune with what we wanted to resemble in the photos and asked us all the right questions to truly understand our vision. He made us feel comfortable, had a lot of fun, and the final product came out beautifully. Our friends and family vouched that the photos truly captured our personalities and our relationship.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Hanna Walkowaik is a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles, California, frequenting Chicago & NYC, traveling all around the world to capture love. Hanna creates artful and storytelling images of your day using digital and film. Her photos are filled with vibrant colors, candid moments and touches of nostalgia. She mixes editorial and documentary styles to not only give you beautiful portraits and captured memories but artistic images to hang in your home. With a Bachelor of Arts degree in photography her approach is artistic, purposeful and technically skillful.

Hanna is truly exceptional! We could not have asked for a better person to capture our wedding day. When my now-husband and I first started searching for wedding photographers, we were drawn to Hanna for her immensely beautiful and versatile portfolio. We spoke over Zoom and felt immediately comfortable with her — she has such a calming presence, made us feel like we had been friends forever, and assured us that she would help our vision come to life. We didn’t have much photography knowledge — we knew we wanted to take some shots in a nature setting like a park, and that we wanted someone who could capture color, as our venue had a specific aesthetic with green and blue walls. Hanna provided the most wonderful guidance for our photos and our day — she scouted many locations around our venue for our wedding portraits, taking into account the proximity and the nature setting we wanted. When we picked one, Hanna went to the spot the week before at the exact time we’d be there, so she would know the specific lighting and locations that would best fit. She also, months in advance, made a timeline for us to help guide the day and ensure that we had a schedule to keep everything on track. This was SO helpful and made the day so much smoother. On the day of our wedding, Hanna couldn’t have been more magnificent. She made us feel so at ease, which was paramount on a day that had so many heightened emotions. We aren’t used to working with professional photographers and were initially nervous that we would feel awkward, but Hanna truly made us feel so calm, comfortable, and joyous. She made the entire experience SO fun, and multiple of our wedding guests commented on how kind she was to them. Now the photos…the PHOTOS. Within a week of our wedding Hanna sent us our sneak peeks — about 160 of them, which is far beyond what we expected. They are stunning. Truly, stunning. She has sent us a gorgeous mix of color, black and white, and film. Our wedding day felt like such a whirlwind and Hanna captured all the emotions and all the moments in ways that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I can’t look at them without being transported back to that day and the specific happenings — from our first look to our first dance — and feeling so overcome with happiness. I can’t choose a favorite because they are all stunning (and all our friends and family keep telling us with how much they love our photos). I’m especially appreciative of Hanna scouting a spot right near our getting ready spot that we hadn’t seen before that looks like a forest, and having us pose there for truly magical pictures. We also have some night shots and some photos from the bar area at our venue that look so editorial and glamorous that I can’t believe it’s us. Trust me, work with Hanna and follow her guidance. She leads with thoughtfulness and intention and it shows. You will get to know a terrifically talented and kind person and your wedding photos will not only be aesthetically marvelous, but you will feel like you get to relive your wedding day every time you look at them. Hanna is THE BEST and we are so grateful to have had the honor of working with her.

June of 2012. Just two months after my mom was critically injured and hospitalized. I began using my camera as an emotional outlet. I started taking portraits for family and friends, and eventually, photographed a courthouse wedding. As time went on, it hit me: These photos are freaking important! And I knew from personal experience that these moments, & the people in them, aren't going to be here forever. That camera became so much more than an outlet. It gave me purpose. And now I see my job as an act of service to you. I'm honored to use my talents and skills to deliver what really matters: TANGIBLE MEMORIES OF YOU & THE ONES YOU LOVE

I truly do not even know where to begin regarding my experience with Alyssa and her team at Alyssa Morgan Photography. Over the past 2 years planning our wedding, Alyssa became much more than a vendor; she became a friend and trusted wedding planning confidante. From the moment I met her on my first wedding planning scouting trip (we live in NJ and had a destination wedding in Islamorada), I KNEW she was the photographer for us. Her photos clearly speak for themselves (I mean come ON, they are like something out of a magazine), but her personality (awesome), knowledge of the area (she is a Keys native, which is SO important when having a destination wedding in my opinion – you need someone familiar with the lighting, the locations, etc.), and her overall expertise in the industry (she even coaches other photographers!) truly make her worth every penny. This girl is worth her weight in GOLD and MORE. Alyssa photographed our engagement shoot almost 2 years ago, which helped us to get to know each other more. She knew how to make my then-fiancé laugh and even SMILE in front of the camera (which is not his favorite place to be) and make us look like supermodels in the process. We have her shots of us hanging all over our home because they are too beautiful not to show off. Despite COVID, missing out on our additional wedding planning trips due to the pandemic, and the overall unknown that was our wedding over the past year (we were worried we would have to postpone, cancel, etc.), she was virtually by our side every step of the way. Keeping us filled in on the state of the Keys, helping us troubleshoot obstacles, and keeping me calm in the process. When it came to our wedding, obviously as a bride it is a very overwhelming and nerve wracking day, but when Alyssa and her team of Kat (2nd shooter) and Kurt (videographer – we never even wanted a videographer until Kurt jointed her team and I saw his work and I am SO glad we decided to do it!!!), I instantly felt better. She worked with me and our planner before the wedding to put together a detailed outline of the day, photography timeline, important shot list, and she even helped me pull off a surprise first look for my fiancé with his best man dressed in a wedding dress to calm his nerves too! The day went off seamlessly, she coordinated us, our family, friends, bridal party, extended family to make sure every shot we wanted was taken. We got our sneak peeks back within days and my *husband* and I spent the remainder of our minimoon entranced by them! I always told Alyssa that photography was THE MOST important aspect of my wedding (I am a huge picture person) – and we COULD NOT BE HAPPIER that we chose her to shoot the most important day of our lives. We WILL be returning to the Keys and look forward to Alyssa shooting things like our anniversaries, pregnancy photos, and family photos in the years to come. **In summary, if I can just drive home just one point: IF YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED IN THE KEYS AND NOT USING ALYSSA FOR PHOTOGRAPHY: YOU. ARE. DOING. IT. WRONG!**

As a wedding planner who's worked with May on multiple occasions, I HIGHLY recommend her!

I love the love!! I am a hopeful romantic! I channel that when shooting weddings, elopements and engagement shoots. I look for the small gestures between you two while you interact, the way you look at one another in utter comfort and confidence, the way you laugh and crack each other up! I love observing how couples embrace and find each other's nooks. This is your person, the one that you can be your complete self with, how cool is that! It sounds corny, but being a wedding and elopement photographer really is a privilege.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Melissa for multiple weddings and events and can sincerely say she has been the best Photographer to work with in the industry. She’s reliable, professional, and above all creates amazing work! If you are looking for someone who is emotionally invested in your special day, look no further and hire Mellisa!

I’m Jamie Y, and there’s a reason why I’ve made photography such an important part of my life. I believe a camera is the perfect tool for capturing bright, colorful, and deep moments from bright, colorful, and deep people, and I have spent over 10 years using my skills to do just that. My favorite subjects are couples and high school seniors, and I am thrilled to help preserve the love, smiles, winks, and glittering futures I see on the other end of my lens.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are recently engaged or thinking about getting married in Las Vegas or maybe out in the desert you want to elope - either way Jamie is your person! She is beyond talented and is very well connected in the area so vendor assistance is a huge plus because she can help you and give you tons of recommendations. Her artistic and fun ways of capturing your true self is perfect. She will help you capture your intimate moments, the ones you will remember and laugh at, or even take you to a tattoo shop and capture the memories that last forever. Whatever crazy, fun, unique idea you have your day - she will help you accomplish it your way. I would 100% recommend Jamie for all things for your wedding, elopement, after party - she is the best for it all!!! She is absolutely amazing in low lights as well. We hired her for our Happily Ever After Party that we held at Virgils Las Vegas and it was dark and she killed every picture. She really made our evening with friends and family the best night I could have asked for. I asked for a lot of candid shots of everyone enjoying the evening and she did exactly what I wanted. The number one thing I would recommend is when she asks for your shot list - spend time giving her exactly what you want - even if that means holding off on completing the questionnaire until closer to your day so that you can make sure you capture everything you want. She 100% uses her shot list to work off so it will be important. Also she is a huge plant fan and great person. We had never met her before our day and I can tell you we connected with her more than we expected. We can’t wait for the future so we can go back to Vegas and shoot our anniversary shots with her at the Neon Museum - because she freaking kills it every single time!

Hi, I am a multi-cultural wedding photographer, with a taste for bold and vibrant imagery, authentic moments and a dash of glamor. Emotions drive my passion for the art form, and human connections guide me. Born and raised in another hemisphere, I have traveled since. Everywhere I went, my camera allowed me to capture the story behind the people I met & the cultures I observed. I bring the same drive to my wedding photography, where every couple, every family, and all the cultures and traditions I come across, have a different story to tell, and I have the privilege to witness and capture it all!

Abhi is incredibly great to work with! Super professional and always fun. I love his creativity and he communicates really well; which I can appreciate.

Shortly after graduation, Betsy was hired as the tour photographer for Maroon 5 and documented 34 concerts across the country. Since then, Betsy has been on the road with One Direction, One Republic, Charlie Puth, and most recently Trevor Noah. Betsy's eye for candid moments and storytelling has led to photographing weddings around the world. She lives for documenting life and love through the lens. Betsy looks forward to hearing from you and bringing your vision to life!

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (over 2 years after my engagement photos were taken) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Betsy all the love and praise she deserves. Betsy photographed our engagement photos and would have done our wedding as well if she wasn’t already booked. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Betsy previously and she was always so fun, easy to work with and matched my energy on every level! She gets so excited when she knows she is ‘getting the shot’ that you can’t help but get excited too. I had a very specific vision for our engagement photos and she was 100% on board to make it happen. I love the photos so much and will treasure them forever as they document a very exciting time in our lives. I absolutely love working with Betsy and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

As a child all, I can remember was carrying around one of those Fujifilm cameras and taking photos of family and friends. I always really liked taking photos and having those memories to look back on. Fast forward to 2017, I decided to take my hobby of photography seriously. I learned the ins and outs of photography, learned how to run a successful business, and learned the proper camera settings all on my own. Here I am years later running my business full time and I love what I do. I live and breathe photography. I know this is what I am meant to be doing.

We first booked Sheila for our engagement photos and knew instantly we picked the right person. Her bubbly personality made her incredibly easy to work with and she always did whatever she needed to do to get the best shots. Our engagement and wedding pictures were stunning and we got nothing but compliments from family and friends about her as a photographer and her pictures. We were a bit worried about who to book with and who would be lgbt friendly but Sheila was perfect! We would recommend her to anyone. I can’t stop looking at her photos of our wedding!

Stavan was an amazing photographer for my wife and I. He was so responsive throughout the process, and we planned our wedding for over 9 months in the middle of a pandemic, so there was need for LOTS of communication! Stavan and his assistant were unbelievably professional. He took incredible photos and got them back to us before we even finished our honeymoon! We would highly recommend Stavan for any project or photography need. He was a pleasure to work with, and the finished project was better than we could have ever expected!

NOT AN IMAGE OF PERFECTION. PROOF OF PRESENCE. I feel strongly that everyone can and should feel beautiful. I hate the idea that some are photogenic and others are not. Helping you feel like your truest and most beautiful self in your photos isn’t just something I do for a job - I do it because everyone deserves images that make them feel that way. It’s my privilege to preserve the beauty of your humanity. ALSO you're in love! You're fun! You're investing a lot, so it shouldn't feel like a chore or checklist item in your story. It should feel like playing dress up with your best friend and a random lady that is nice to you (me).

I can't shut up about Rachel. She is confident, diligent and personable. The effortless cues and small adjustments and suggestions she makes while shooting never leave you thinking "What should I do now?". I recommend her to absolute everybody.

My passion for photography began while I started hiking with a new bucket list of visiting all of the national parks. I had to capture the beauty of the Earth so I got my first camera and fell in love! I soon found out that capturing the adventurous souls like myself in these magical places makes me so happy. Have you ever been so happy because someone else is happy? That’s exactly what it’s like photographing my couples!
