Hi! I’m Amanda, your Northern Bay area Wedding and family photographer . I like to dabble in many avenues of photography, but my passion is documenting a couples own love story. There is nothing more rewarding in my job, when a client comes back in almost tears, because of how much they love their photos. To empower them and make them feel good about themselves is truly priceless. Everyone is their own worst critic, but it is my job to shake the nerves and bring out the best you through beautiful imagery.

Marilyn Lamanna Photography

Astoria, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Petaluma, CA for additional fees

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

Awarded Best of Zola
Marilyn is a fantastic and compassionate photographer. She is incredibly kind and is great with helping you feel at ease if this is your first time being photographed and you feel awkward or don't know how to play it cool. She can give subtle posing suggestions if you have no idea what to do. Not only is she the kind of person you would want to be friends with and have at your wedding just to bring some good vibes and fun to the party, but her photography is excellent and you will be extremely happy with her work. We booked her for our engagement shoot and for our wedding in the upcoming year. Our first meet with her was over video call which felt much more personable than other photographer meetings we had had that were only over email or phone call. She is very upfront with pricing and upon booking met with us to start brainstorming engagement shoot locations. We had some locations in mind and she helped us decide what would be most manageable. If you didn't have set locations in mind she definitely would be able to provide suggestions. She put up with many of our endless questions leading up to the shoot including what to wear, best order of locations, and my very specific (mildly difficult) aesthetic requests when it came to one of our locations. The gallery she provides you with after the shoot is very easy to use and she graciously cropped one of the photos we plan to use for our invitations. We can't wait to work with her for our wedding.

  • Serves Petaluma, CA for additional fees

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 was a pleasure to work with and a brilliant photographer! From first contact to the day of our elopement, communication was excellent. On the big day, he was great at directing me and my wife to feel at ease and pose for the camera. Very friendly and very accommodating! As for the photos themselves, I couldn't have asked for better, very artsy and personal - he is a man of his craft :) I can't recommend him enough. Do yourself a favor, and skip the headache for your big day and go with my man Justin!

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband, Peter, and I hired Justin to photograph our wedding at the Marriage Bureau in Manhattan on July 26, 2019. It was an intimate affair--17 people total, including us. Justin and I spoke a few weeks before the ceremony and I was immediately impressed by the questions he asked me. He not only wanted to learn more about us and our relationship, but also asked about all of the guests! On the day, he showed up on time and photographed us all while we waited for our turn. I watched how he would talk to everyone as he worked, and all of our guests commented on how much they "loved" Justin. He is warm, funny, compassionate and talented. He also knows how to calm a nervous bride. We had to wait an extra long time (they were short one marriage officiant), and knowing that we had a lunch reservation pending, I was visibly stressed. Justin had a way of acknowledging my feelings, while also helping me to accept the present situation and reassuring me over, and over that everything would turn out okay. And...it did. When we got our photos back, I had tears in my eyes...so many of the photos literally took my breath away. He perfectly captured the feelings and the energy of our special day, and these are precious memories that will last our entire lives! I highly recommend Justin to photograph your wedding! You will be so happy that you did!

Welcome to Arie T. Photography, a black queer woman-owned and operated traveling portrait and wedding photography service based out of the Georgia and Michigan!

Awarded Best of Zola
Arie was an incredible presence at our wedding, which was somewhat nontraditional and much more like a party than a wedding. She took our requests and still managed to get elegant pics from our general nonsense. We didn't really have a great vision for what we wanted but thank the heavens Arie knew what to do anyway. The pics are incredible and we've been sharing them so much! She is also fun to have around and didn't add any stress to the day which we LOVED. Can't recommend her enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to start! Carmelisse was UNREAL. She was so so sooooooo wonderful to work with. My now-husband was dreading wedding photos and after the wedding he even said, ‘the photo part was actually fun’-direct quote. Carmelisse and Jon (our second shooter) made us feel so comfortable and natural and we had a blast the entire time. There were tons of changes with timing and location due to the weather, and Carmelisse was 10000% on top of it! She took charge, handled EVERYTHING, knew when sunset was, where/when to go for the best lighting, posing etc… she was just amazing. I really didn’t know what to expect—it was a destination wedding and Carmelisse took care of so many small details so I could just focus on enjoying myself. She is incredible at what she does and I’m so happy that she was the one to document our wedding! We love love LOVE the photos and her! She went above and beyond with everything and we definitely recommend working with Carmelisse!!!! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

My name is Nadia. I specialize in elopements + intimate weddings in the Pacific Northwest. I help people in love have the wedding of their dreams in magical outdoor spaces. When you choose to elope, you’re choosing to get married free of society’s wedding day expectations. So go wild! Spend the entire day in your favorite place, with your favorite person. Wear a fancy outfit, or wear your hiking boots. Invite your dog instead of your mom’s second cousin. Share your first kiss under the stars instead of under an altar. In the great outdoors, you write the wedding rules. And I’m here to help make it an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nadia was incredible. From our very first phone call with her, she was personable, professional, and very attentive. She is very organized and really made us feel taken care of. Out of all of our vendors, she made us feel the most at ease. We knew that she was thinking ahead about the all the little details that come up as you approach the big day. She was so genuinely excited about our wedding and getting great pictures. Nadia really knows what she is doing, she even had prompts for us during our couples photos that created really cute and candid shots, which was great for me as a camera shy person! If you want a photographer who really cares, is an excellent communicator, and takes amazing pictures, Nadia is the one for you!

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!

Thalia was amazing to work with, I’m so glad she was able to capture our intimate family wedding! It ended up being super foggy and rainy and she came prepared with so many fun ideas to capture a moody winter shoot. She made us feel comfortable, which was needed given we aren’t the types to take lots of photos on a regular basis. The portfolio turned out so beautifully- we couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Ali was awesome to work with. Let me start by acknowledging that a Wedding day as I learned is filled with so many uncontrollables and Ali helped us to relieve stress in whatever ways she could. She helped our flowers girl get ready and travel from Bridal Suite to Groom suite. She helped with hair challenges and even noticed I was having a dress malfunction and came to help me fix it so I could continue to enjoy my evening. She did all of this while still taking amazing photos. She was communicative from the beginning, professional and started before time by scouting out spaces for us to take amazing photos. We loved working with her and would chose her over and again!!!

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

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabbie is the absolute best photographer you could ask for! Gabbie did a beautiful job shooting my brother's wedding and we knew we had to use her for our wedding too. Coordinating a wedding during COVID was a challenge, to say the least, but she handled every postponement and venue change we threw at her with patience and grace. When we finally reached our wedding day, she knew just how to work with an over-stressed bride and groom. She’s very calming and knows exactly how to coach and compose without being overbearing. Gabbie’s greatest strength is her ability to perfectly capture the atmosphere surrounding the event, not just the event itself. Looking through her photos isn’t a reflection, it’s a magnetic pull right back to the happiest day of our lives. We can relive our wedding every time we look at her work. If you’re looking for a photographer that will go above and beyond to accommodate you while creating phenomenal memories of your day, look no further!!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Petaluma, 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 amazing! We worked with her for our engagement photo shoot and we couldn’t be happier. She listened to all our wish list items for location and came up with several ideas. She made us feel so comfortable during the shoot since we had never gotten professional photos before. Plus - our location was pretty far away from Seattle and we had a blast getting to know each other in the car ride to and from the location. Highly recommended!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenna did an amazing job on both our engagement and wedding photos- we highly recommend her. After sharing our wedding photos with our friends and family we have received countless messages about how great our photos are and that our photographer was very talented. Leading up to the wedding Jenna was very attentive and always got back to us very quickly- even while on maternity leave! She made sure every detail was taken care of and communicated a thorough plan before the day arrived. On the day of Jenna was very professional and timely- she did a great job of not being intrusive with her camera and making us feel comfortable. I think this translates into how happy and relaxed we look in the photos. We are forever grateful for the amazing pictures Jenna and her second shooter Caylena took of us. I hope one day we have the privilege of working with Jenna again.

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

Emma Lee Photography was added to our recommended vendor list before I started at Ray's and throughout the years has become one of our favorites. Emma's professionalism, easy going nature, and dedication to her clients and partners makes her a dream to work with. And of course her photos are gorgeous- always such vibrant, rich colors and the unpredictability that comes with an outdoor space never trips her up. 5 stars! Emma Lee Photography rocks!

New York, NY

  • Starts at $4,250
  • Serves Petaluma, CA for additional fees

hey you! thanks for dropping by. my name is shelby, and i am a queer artist and manhattan based photographer who specializes in weddings + equine portraiture. my priority as a photographer is developing a personal relationship with each and every one of my clients (two or four legged). your special moments are their most pure when you are comfortable and ready to just have fun, and i am here to create that joyful space.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shelby Phillips impressed me from the start. Before reaching out to her via email in the summer of 2018, I took some time to learn about her. From her personal blog, I learned that she is a graduate of NYU, that she loves photographing horses, that she is also an actor and a writer, and that she has a passion for bringing moments to life through photography. From looking at her curated selection of photographs on her website, I quickly learned that she cares about the minor gestures, the subtleties of a moment, and the play of light. At the time I found her (in 2018), I believe wedding photography was not her main focus; it seemed that she photographed more four-legged animals than did two-legged ones. I personally did not mind this one bit; rather, I found her versatility as a photographer to be a source of strength. If she could capture emotion and beauty without outward displays of emotions and beauty, then that speaks to her craft as an artist. I found her gentle and personal touch to photography to resonate deeply with me, and I also appreciated how she wrote about her life experiences in her blog. Here was a passionate young woman who not only observes the world with her eyes, but also attunes to it with her heart fully open. There was so much feeling evoked in both her writing and her photographs. There was so much vibrancy in her black-and-white captures. I was immediately hooked. I dedicate a whole blog post to Shelby here: https://www.booksmartstreetsmart.com/blog/2019/an-intimate-wedding-my-search-for-a-local-new-york-city-wedding-photographer Here's another snipped from my experience working with Shelby: The 5-minute walk to the wedding venue felt like eternity (in a good way!). I opted for an impractically long train for my wedding dress (I’m old-fashioned at heart!) so my younger sister dedicatedly carried it as I walked ahead of her. There were many stares from strangers along the way, but honestly, I did not pay attention because I was so focused on taking small steps so that I would not trip, or worse, get my heels stuck between the cracks in the sidewalk. It was past 5pm and the sun was blazing hot, but because we were situated right by the water, there was an occasional gentle breeze. Shelby was particularly excited about the wind, because it paved the way for some truly magnificent “action shots.” As I slowly made my way to the venue with my sister directly behind me, and my mother and soon-to-be mother-in-law next to us, Shelby was quick on her feet, capturing the magic in the small moments, while playing with the light. As I look back on the photographs that she took of that day, I am amazed by how she chased the light throughout the day and into the evening, how she beautifully brought life into still photographs, and how she managed to capture all our family and friends in a way that reflects each person’s personality. Today, when I visit Shelby’s website, I immediately notice that it has grown substantially. Since I signed my wedding photography contract, Shelby has taken on many other weddings, bringing life to a blank canvas by means of her camera lens, coupled with her eye for precious moments. I am so pleased to know that she is doing well, and that her dedication to her craft has paid off. PS. It is now 2021 and Shelby and I are still in touch! :) Thank you Shelby <3

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby is such an incredible photographer and human to work with! She is positive, communicative, and I love her energy. I worked with her on a wedding I was coordinating and appreciated her check ins, questions, open communication, and desire to support me and honor the couple and their vision. I highly recommend working with her - the day will go smoothly and you will have hundreds of beautiful photos of the memories!

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).

The communication was great with Monica and Tyler. They let us know before hand what we were going to do and helped out a lot during photos with things that they didn’t have to help with. They gave great and fun vibes to us for our wedding and during wedding. They made us feel comfortable while doing photos and videos. I hired Monica and Tyler because of their professionalism and great work we seen online. We definitely would recommend them for a Wedding or a lifetime experience.

She was fantastic at directing my groomsmen and bridesmaids when needed and she gave us fun prompts that created the best wedding photos. She was super quick with her turnaround time and always kept in contact with me throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend Sweet Bliss Media enough, and as you can see, her team's work speaks for itself:) We also used her for the engagement session and she was such a trooper because we had to move the session around due to inclement weather.

I cannot recommend Justina enough. I started planning my wedding early, and was originally just looking for a photographer who was in my budget whose pictures I liked. I found Justina and fell in love with her style!! During the planning process, Justina and I had several meetings where we went over our timeline and shots my husband and I wanted. Justina was flexible and communicative the whole time. More importantly, I loved chatting with her and I felt like I was chatting with a friend. I felt like Justina really “got” me and what I was hoping for from our wedding pictures. After the wedding, Justina returned a HEFTY preview gallery with stunning pictures. There were some posed and some candids. I mean when I say I have never felt as beautiful as I do in those pictures. Working with Justina was awesome, she’s awesome, the whole process was awesome, and our pictures our awesome.

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

Celia is beyond incredible to work with and I cannot recommend her enough! She was communicative, patient, and helpful during the planning process, and made us both feel at ease with our questions and requests. Early on, we felt completely confident that she understood the essence of us as a couple and our vision for the day itself. The day of, she brought the kind of energy you want around you on your wedding day— calm, joyful, patient, and light. She made the more intimate and planned moments fun and easy, and was so subtle while capturing candids that she practically blended into the scenery. She snuck photos of some amazing moments! Our guests also loved her vibe— she folded into our party so organically that we invited her to stay after hours. Following the wedding, Celia was prompt with sending the edited photos and she really delivered! My wife and I were so delighted to see how many details she documented when we didn’t realize anyone was watching, and how well she captured the emotions of the day. There are so many beautiful shots! These are photos we will treasure for a lifetime. If you’re fortunate enough to get the chance, work with Celia!

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

I don’t think Alex and Josie know this, but picking the right photographer was one of the most important decisions I had to make when considering all vendors, and I spent countless days, maybe even weeks, finding the right photographer. The way they captured our wedding day didn’t just relay simple stills, but the raw emotions of the day - which is really what I prioritized. During our first meeting with Alex and Josie, I knew they were our photographers because they were the only ones who were organized. They followed up with a mock up timeline of how they think the day may go, and that was the first time I’d seen a timeline of our special day. Sometimes it’s just the little things, that go a long way. They were always so responsive and sweet. My friends and family were also impressed on our wedding day. Couldn’t recommend them more! Thank you guys so much!

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
After my (now) husband and I booked our venue we knew the next vendor that we needed to hire was a photographer. I was a semi crazy bride and I probably interviewed over 10 photographers. We were looking for someone who not only took gorgeous, bright photos but also someone we could personally connect to. As soon as we had our introductory call, we knew Kim was the one! She was so warm and thoughtful during our call - really trying to understand our love story and how we wanted our wedding to be like. I actually cried during our intro call - that's how safe I felt around her. About a couple months after we signed our contract, Kim reached out to schedule our engagement shoot. This is when my husband and I really got to connect with Kim and knew we 1000% made the right choice. Kim was super organized (which we loved) with scheduling the time, picking the location and coordinating the meet up. She made us feel so comfortable and she captured the most stunning photos. She kept us engaged and prompted questions and actions to make sure our engagement photos really captured who we were as a couple and didn't feel posed. She got to learn our goofy personalities and it was a great practice run for our big day. Now for our wedding ... omg I cannot put to words what amazing photos Kim and her team took. We just got our final gallery and it immediately brought us to tears. She was able to capture the perfect balance of posed photos but also candids. Her detail photos made it possible to re-live every moment of the day again. She also made sure we captured all our family portraits (even though they were super large). She truly felt like a best friend who was around during out most special day who just happened to also snap a lot of photos. Our bridal party loved having her around and we were all so comfortable. She made prepping for our wedding day as effortless and stress free as possible. Before our wedding we had calls to walk through our shot list, timelines. She was super engaged and organized - giving all the tips she could to keep us on track. She delivered our sneak peeks SO quickly. We had them a couple days after our wedding to enjoy and cry over them while we were on our honeymoon. She also delivered our final gallery within 2 months! I can't recommend Kim enough- she's not just a super talented photographer but she's also a beautiful soul who has truly become our friend through this whole process. Can't wait to keep re-living our wedding day through her photos!!

I'm also a firm believer in doing my part in making your wedding planning simpler for you, because let's face it wedding planning can be a bit overwhelming especially in the beginning. Also, weddings are stupid expensive and the moment you add the word "wedding" to anything the price jumps like 5x which is NOT COOL, and doesn't set couples up for success.

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

Kara was a pleasure to work with! We booked her almost a year out for our September 2020 wedding. She always stayed in touch, and when the pandemic hit made sure to let us know that she is available to figure out solutions incase we cannot go through with our original plans. Kara was incredibly professional and gave us suggestions for poses, scouted photo locations, and met with us before our elopement. She was very flexible and understanding when we had to change our wedding to be smaller and then to an elopement all together. On the day of she came to photograph us on time, gave us great direction and made us feel comfortable during the whole process. It was like having a friend around, which meant a lot to us since we had o one but us on our special day due to COVID. We had so much fun shooting we didn't notice our time was up! She was so excited about our photos she send us sneak peeks within hours of our ceremony, while on her layover. Needless to say we were thrilled and amazed with the end photos she provided. She had the final gallery ready for us within the timeline she provided in her contract ( actually even earlier than we expected!) The photos were presented in an easy to access gallery where you can also print them or make them into an album. We are absolutely in LOVE with the photos she took of us! We will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Thank you Kara!

I'm Johnny Alamillo. I'm a Father, a husband, and a creative at heart. If you're looking for a photographer who will deliver quality, hard work, and frankly, give a sh*t, you're looking at him. I care immensely about serving my clients because I've busted my butt trying to get where I'm at. Don't be shy and say hi.

Oh man, I can not recommend Johnny and his team enough. When I began looking for a photographer I wanted to find someone who can support a large wedding, video and photography, and who can fit into our day. I can’t express how supported, seen and prioritized I felt the entire way. From the first call, to engagement photos, to the day alone, Johnny was constantly communicating with me and was so patient along the way. Johnny also made it such a point to deliver the teaser video, completed photos, and final video in a timely manner so I could celebrate with my family and friends.

I grew up the kid who was obsessed with all of the Disney princess movies and just in love with the idea of “true love”, which has shown itself in SO many ways in my life. My first true love I found was my camera and photography. I picked up my dad's camera for the first time when I was 8 years old and decided at that moment that it was all I wanted to do. I could show people the way I saw the world and to little 8 year old me, that was the coolest thing EVER. It started off as capturing the things I loved, whether that was animals at the zoo, my friends, or siblings… I was ALWAYS shoving a camera in somebody's face.

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

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

I have 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!

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

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.

[Frances and Tony have been our photographers for many seasons of our life. My husband and I are “high school sweethearts” and Frances has been there to photograph and document just about every one of our big life events. She photographed our high school prom pictures, our wedding pictures, and every event since. She is passionate about her photography and her artistic eye is completely unmatched. Frances & Tony working together as a team is an actual match made in heaven. Frances captures the most beautiful and unique shots while Tony is actively documenting the process through videography in a way that not only records major events but tells a story later when you watch it back. Their talent is raw and rare, I would trust them with anything!]

I have a love for travel and I'm obsessed with my dog and two cats. I enjoy lots of raw, sassy humor and a little bit of sarcasm. Tequila is my go-to... all the margaritas please! The desert is where you’ll find me on any given day. There’s something so magical about that place, am I right? I love learning the little weird things about my couples and bringing out the corkiness. We all have it! If you like what you’re reading, maybe I'm the one!

Kellie is amazing! She was so quick to respond with answers for a ton of questions I had before booking her. She also made me and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera and helped us with poses. I described the look i was going for and kellies photography matched it perfectly! She was always on time and had a quick turn around with my photos and album. She stayed til the very end of my wedding and got some fun candid shots. We love our photos and everyone who has seen them is super impressed! I’ll be using her again for my next event!

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.

Marla is a light of sunshine and would be an awesome pick for your photographer. She is creative and really makes sure she is getting the best shot for your day! Totally recommend!!!!

Welcome to our creative world! We are David and Katie, a photo and video dynamic duo from the peach state. But, we are more than just visual storytellers. We want to get to know you and build a friendship that extends beyond our lens. Our goal is to capture genuine memories that you'll cherish for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
I looked through several different groups when attempting to find the best photographer for our wedding and Hevesi Journal made it easy to choose them. We mainly interacted with Katie, who was professional and calming and funny throughout every encounter. We did our engagement photos with her as well as our wedding photos and both sets turned out better than I could have imagined. Getting photographs that really showed the essence of us as a couple was one of the more important things we had hoped for when planning the wedding and this goal was certainly achieved. For our engagement photos, Katie followed us up a mountain and during the wedding she made sure that all of our desired groupings (for example, my father and his siblings) were captured with ease. I would 100% use their services again and if I have anything that needs documenting in the future will not be hesitating to reach out.

As a small boy, I would sit for hours watching my mother hand-color portraits for a local photographer, during the cold winter months, by a fire in our family room. From there I began taking my own pictures with my first box camera. Fast forward to a restless twenty-something working as a microbiologist, taking weddings and portraits on weekends. Eventually I graduated college with an M.A. in Photography and started out in Chicago, assisting numerous photographers, shooting everything from oranges to weddings. I have been fortunate to have worked all over the world. Photography is more than a job, it’s an avocation, a passion, it's what I do.

From the first time we met Thom, we knew he was the right fit for us and our wedding. He made planning for our wedding in the middle of a pandemic stress FREE! Thom is organized, creative, and makes photography fun. His experience in the industry is evident through not only his work, but the way he is able to command a room. Thom had one of his assistants live stream our wedding for our guests that could not travel during the pandemic, which I am so grateful for. Now we will be able to watch our wedding mass for years to come. Thom also captured many couples, family, and friends photos throughout the day. Our family and friends continue to rave about Thom's work and his wonderful personality. We cannot thank Thom enough for capturing memories that will last us a lifetime! Look no further Thom is your guy to make your wedding photography dreams come true!!

The Archers Photographer is exceptional. Not only are talented professionals, they are amazing human beings as well. Chelsea is incredibly organized and I didn’t have to worry about a thing photography-wise. You complete a survey and talk about what level of direction you’d like on the wedding day, and what are the important points you’d like to capture. I honestly can’t say enough good things about The Archers. Our wedding photos will be cherished forever.

I specialize in documenting weddings! I believe in images that are timeless, true to color, with a touch of moodiness and emotion. Photography is one of the biggest and most important investments you’ll make for your wedding day. Wedding photography isn’t just a financial investment. You’re also investing in a photographer who values and builds that relationship from the start, from planning a custom timeline with you, to going over all the details every step of the way leading up to the wedding day. I want my couples to be as involved in the creative process as I am. It’s all about the experience!

Chamblee and her husband did such an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos! We ended up needing our engagement pictures back pretty fast... and Chamblee made sure to get them to us in the time we needed and we were so appreciative of that! Chamblee also made us feel super comfortable and relaxed during our shoots. She is such a cute person and takes the most beautiful pictures!! We totally recommend her for any of your photography needs!
