Aloha all! I am Kristen Iwalani and I am extraordinarily ordinary. What I mean is, I am just an everyday girl from Hawaii who loves to talk story and make connections with those I am lucky to meet and photograph. My hope is that our time together feels like a date with me third-wheeling... camera in hand. I love making this process easy and will show up for all your questions and preparations. My goal is to make your time with me a fun and memorable experience while also delivering some kick-a$$ photos.

I highly recommend Kristen for any of your photography needs! She photographed my engagement shoot and wedding and I could not be happier with the photos. She captured moments beautifully and the way she styles and edits the pictures is incredible!! She listened to all of my ideas and got every shot I wanted from the day. She also gave me creative ideas for poses and shots that I wouldn't have come up with myself and they turned out fantastic. She also made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Kristen is professional, responsive, detailed with planning, and an incredible photographer. She helped to make our wedding day run smoothly and I would book her again in a heartbeat.

Grace T Photography

Kailua, HI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer who loves to frequent the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Midwest (where I grew up.) I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

Awarded Best of Zola
Grace is the sweetest, hardworking, kind hearted person you’ll work with. Her love for not only the couple she works with but the other vendors/teams she works with is unlike any others. She takes time to truly ask how the venue/team is doing and really cares/listens to what you have to say. We’ve gotten to work closely with Grace throughout the years, whether it’s her shooting weddings or helping us to plan a yearly event that we host for photographers/videographers. Grace is incredibly knowledgeable in soooo many aspects, and has so much to share with the world. Her passion for photography drives her and shines through in her finished results. Grace will always make you feel welcomed/loved! Can’t wait to partner with Grace on more events/weddings in the future!

Heyyy! I'm Brittany and I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based on Oahu. I have a passion for traveling + adventure! I will travel to any of the Hawaiian Islands and beyond to capture your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin?! From communication to execution, everything was utter perfection. From the start, Brittany listened to my elopement vision (sometimes crazy) and gave her recommendations and expertise. The day before the forecast called for rain so she helped brainstorm other locations in the event we couldn't hike, but *thankfully* it did not rain and we met at the base of the mountain the next day about an hour before sunrise for a sunrise ceremony! Not only did she drive a way to get to the mountain, she hiked up with us, and took epic pictures at the top and back down at a cove. Pictures were sent back to us super quickly and were STUNNING! My friends and family still talk about our pictures to this day (3 years later). They even turned out better than our large family friend's wedding back home. If you are looking for an adventure shoot, elopement, wedding, bridal, engagement, or whatever, DON'T hesitate to book Brittany. She is the BEST!

I am a local, born and raised kamaʻaina of the island of Oʻahu. As a teenager and into adulthood, I fantasized about being a wedding photographer. Today, I get to live and share my pipe dream with amazing people right here in my island home in Hawaii. Your Big Day is as special as you are, as individuals, as a couple, and as a growing family. I have come to find my purpose in helping people highlight what glows about them.

Kristie is such an amazing photographer. She is so professional, yet flexible and goes above and beyond to accommodate her clients to make their special day even more special. She is someone who really makes her clients feel comfortable in every aspect of the shoot. My husband, who isn't one for having his photo taken, was able to relax and (with the help of our incredible photographer) take the best photos that we've taken to date! She not only meets the needs of her clients, but by far exceeds your expectations!! We eloped last minute and she was able to arrange a time with me to be able to capture our special day, which I will always be grateful for. The experience with which she directed not only us, but our family, made the shoot that much more amazing. She made us feel like family and ensured that we got the best of the best out of our day. Thank you so much, Kristie! We will definitely be booking with you again for any future events and special occasions!

We will make sure that you are happy with the results not only after the shoot, but for many years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Alvea Studios to take our first maternity photo shoot back in 2019, both my husband and I were expecting our first baby! We got to choose the location to have our shoot and both Abbie and Harold made both my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable. We are ones to not take pictures but I knew this was a milestone in our life we wanted to remember, I left having fun and it was the utmost positive experience we’ve ever experienced! Both were 100% professional, accommodating and captured every moment. After seeing the final product of pictures we were incredibly happy as it came out perfect! Something for my son to see when he gets older. They both were so awesome we also ended up hiring them to do my engagement photos in the summer of 2019 as well after my son was born! They even made a wedding teaser video for me, which came out awesome! Harold and Abbie have a gifted talent, to capture a moment in time with their photography I’ve never seen before with past professional family photos taken when I was a child. In the end I hired them for my wedding, my second maternity shoot back in 2021 and the last two years for our holiday Christmas cards. Consider them for any event you may have, both again are extremely professional and great at what they do!

It was so easy to work with Marissa, from beginning to the end. We don't know how to pose and don't often take photos, but Marissa knew how to direct us and made us feel super comfortable. We love ALL of our photos, which is so rare. I never heard of a bride who loved every single shot their photographer took. We should have hired her for our engagement photos, but oh well. We'll be sure to hire her for all our photos because we love her and her work so much.

I work with Ari often (I'm a floral designer) and she's one of the few photographers that I will basically drop everything to work on a shoot, project or a wedding for. She has such a professional eye – great at framing her couples, a timeless style, and the moments look candid and natural yet elegant and polished at the same time. And she's down-to-earth and easy to work with! A lot of the photos highlighting my floral work come from Ari and they are the ones I use over and over. I love her work that much!!

If I could put 6 stars, I would. I can't recommend Ryan Corinne enough. The entire process was a stress-free breeze because of them. They helped and communicated with us through every step of the way and made everything so so so incredibly easy!!! They even handled the communication and coordination with our videographer which was a huge relief. They met and exceeded our expectations. We were graced with Ryan's presence on our big day. He is so awesome! From the first moment of meeting him it's like you've already been friends for years. He's cool, calm, and collected. My husband, who is very reserved and introverted, stopped and told me three different times on our wedding day how impressed he was with Ryan and was so happy we made the decision to do an adventure elopement with them. Doesn't sound like much, but that was the highest praise! Ryan truly made our day better because of how easy and great he was to work with. We love our photos and have received non-stop compliments and high praise about them. Several "these are the most stunning wedding photos I've ever seen" and I'd have to agree. If you're considering booking with Ryan Corinne, do it. You will not regret it. 3

I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

As the mother of the bride, having the right person for the right job is essential for the perfect wedding. I can say hands-down we chose the perfect photographer in Lauren K Downing she was professional, organized and made sure every photo was timed exactly right to not take away from the rest of the wedding festivities and guests. The details that Lauren captured were way beyond our expectations. Lauren Downing would definitely be someone I would recommend to do any professional photography

Whether you are professionals passionate about your careers, are in the 4k White Mountain club, found love later in life, or can’t be defined by traditional labels, it’s YOU that makes “Kate & Keith Photography.” From our first meeting, we’ll be establishing a vibe. If we can’t conceive of future inside jokes, then we’re happy to make recommendations to some friends who may align. But if we get carried away by conversations of favorite hikes, or where you grew up, then you can bet we’ll be showing up on wedding day with all the excitement shared by your inner circle.

When we first met to talk about my wedding we ended up hanging out for two hours, drinking tea and sharing cake. Being with them felt easy, like old friends. That sense of ease made my decision simple:these are the right people for me! I would make that decision over and over again. The photos of my wedding day are exactly what I wanted. Each one has a memory and each one is stunning. Kate and Keith showed up early in the morning to photograph my bridal party rock climbing—they got right into the adventure. And at the wedding and reception they were attentive and directive in all the right ways. I am so so happy to know them and I am absolutely thrilled to have these photos for the rest of my life.

I am passionate about two things: building authentic relationships and creating a space for you to come as you are. 🫶 Think of me as your friendly neighborhood photographer whose been at the game for over 7 years – we’ll laugh, enjoy the present moment, and dive into your unique love story.

This was my first ever professional shoot, and Meg made me feel like I’ve been doing this for years! The way she made my partner and I feel comfortable and ease into our photoshoot made for such a fun sunset shoot. We experimented with different poses and lighting all while laughing along the way. She sent over our album in 5 DAYS which I was not expecting at all. Seriously look NO further if you are looking for a photographer for any occasion! I will be using Meg for all of my future photography needs.

I have been photographing weddings for 12 years and I love every second of it! I live in the Hudson Valley, but I travel all over the world for weddings. I started photographing weddings in college on the side and once I graduated I knew I wanted to continue to pursue weddings! If you'd like to inquire, please do so through my website!

Jordan is freaking amazing and was such an awesome person to work with on our wedding day! We booked an engagement shoot with her a year out before our wedding and as soon as we met her we knew she was the one we would hire for our wedding. First of all she is so nice and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session, my husband and I never took professional photos before but she guided us through and even with our silliness and laughing the photos came out so incredible. Fast forward to 10.29.23 our wedding day Jordan was a rockstar, we had a jam packed day with two ceremonies and she literally was able to capture all the key photos we wanted, we got so many different vibes and I cannot be more happy with how our day went. When it started to rain we got amazing photos indoors and when we were outside she knew all the right spots to capture amazing photos. Jordan is such a great person to have around and is so easy to work with, I highly recommend her to everyone! (My best friend & MOH just booked Jordan for her 2025 wedding!)

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Sarah was absolutely fantastic. From the beginning, communication was smooth and effortless, with prompt responses to emails and even video conferences to discuss details. Our photography package included an engagement photoshoot in addition to wedding photography. The quality of the photos from both our engagement session and wedding day was outstanding. One of the highlights was receiving a few 'preview pictures' shortly after each shoot, allowing us to enjoy some beautiful moments right away. The pricing was transparent, and the payment portal was easy to use, making the financial aspects stress-free. Throughout the process, Sarah provided invaluable advice on shot lists and was incredibly easy to work with when it came to posing. If we had a specific idea or location in mind for a photo, she not only took the lead but also enhanced our vision beyond what we could have imagined. She also emailed us ideas and example photos for different locations for our engagement photoshoot, helping us make our vision a reality. On our wedding day, Sarah took many photos throughout our events, including getting ready in the bridal suite, first looks, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, and reception. She was excellent at directing our family members to ensure we got all our posed family photos. Sarah also took some beautiful shots of just us post-ceremony. Throughout the dinner and reception, we felt at ease and relaxed knowing Sarah was there capturing every moment. Beyond the professional aspects, our interactions with our photographer made us feel like we were working with a close friend. She always helped us to feel comfortable in front of the camera, despite us being introverted and inexperienced with being professionally photographed. Her support and encouragement throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding were truly appreciated and added to the overall wonderful experience. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer for their special day.

Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera. I documented everything. So I can go back & revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most of which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

I was born and raised in the smallest little state, Rhode Island! With that comes a huge appreciation for the coast and a realization that magic can be found in even the smallest of details. Growing up in a small town where time seems to go by slower helped me learn the value of genuine connections which have now become apart of who I am.

Brianna traveled from another state for both the engagement shoot and wedding. I cannot even express how amazing the experience was. My husband and I don’t pose for pictures we feel awkward and she made us feel so comfortable and the pictures, oh my gosh, perfection. And not to mention they’re to you in max 30 days.

On top of it all, she was so friendly which made the experience even sweeter. It was easy to be comfortable around her and open up to the pictures.

We worked with Vincent for our wedding in February of 2021. We scheduled our wedding with him several months beforehand. Leading up to the day, he had checked in several times to see how our plans had been coming, evolving, and what our expectations were the day of. He is incredibly personable, professional, and talented. We didn't ask for a lot of specific shots and the few we did ask for came out way better than we could have possibly imagined. Vincent took beautiful photos of us, our family, and our friends. For our camera-shy friends, he kept laughing with us, creating an atmosphere of joy and stress-free photography! He was quick to ensure that all of us being photographed were comfortable. Since our wedding, we have recommended him to literally every person who lets us know that they're engaged.

Photography is an artistic escape I love to have fun with! I enjoy meeting new people and stepping into their lives while capturing the love is something that sparked my joy. Photography has been a full time passion of mine since I picked up a camera in 2017. I love spending most of my time out doors in nature so I've kind of got the whole location scouting down to a 'T'. Let's go somewhere beautiful and make some memories.

5 stars honestly doesn't begin to capture our experience working with Emily. I reached out to various photographers in Maui in our search for the right fit to capture our elopement. As soon as I heard back from Emily we both knew she was the perfect fit. She totally understood our vision for an intimate, fun "adventure elopement" and she led us to a couple locations for our shoot that were UNREAL.. in addition to that she was more than happy to give hair/outfit recommendations and help us find the perfect hair/makeup artist, officiant, etc and we ended up with an absolute DREAM TEAM for our day. Our trip to Maui was met with some severe weather which wouldn't have permitted outdoor photos (talking torrential downpour and flooding) and Emily handled the situation with the utmost professionalism, calling us with her recommendations and actually rescheduling our elopement for another day she was able to clear her schedule, which was such a relief. When we FINALLY made it to our elopement day, our photo shoot was an absolute blast!! Emily instantly made us feel so comfortable despite my wife being someone who hates taking photos. Instead of setting up awkward forced prom poses she let us have fun and be ourselves and would provide just enough guidance like "move this arm here, take a step this way, or drop the bouquet down a bit" so we felt like we knew what we were doing. Lastly, the PHOTOS! OMG! Not only was the turnaround time fast, the photos easy to access and downloading very easy, but the photos were STUNNING. Like, we gawked at them for hours and can't even decide which ones to print because they're all so fantastic. Her touchups are subtle and true to color, no dramatic or obvious editing. The locations looked like something out of a fairytale, and she captured our natural poses and movements so well that you can truly see our happiness and glow in every photo Emily is friendly, easy-going, flexible, organized, professional, and WILDLY talented and if you're reading this rather lengthy review just book her now before she's booked up! (Not to mention her pricing is very reasonable, especially for the location)

They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

I specialize in 35mm and medium format film photography, but I also offer digital photography and am typically shooting both on a wedding day. My inspiration comes from organic moments, perfectly imperfect details, finding beauty in simplicity, and natural, modern and creative environments. I find that I thrive most when I get to work with couples who are so involved in the moment, they don’t care much about a wrinkle in their dress or a misplaced hair.

Once we got Marci on board, I felt immediately at ease about the wedding. I knew that, no matter what happened, no matter what details about the day wouldn't go perfectly, we would have great photos and the end of it all. She offered so much of herself before the actual date to check in with us and make sure we could talk about anything we wanted on the day. I love how everything she does feels intimate, natural, and captures the 2 people just as they are. I highly recommend booking Mars Takes Photos for your special day.

Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

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.

Justin is incredible. He is exactly who you want for your wedding (or any event for that matter). He is incredibly responsive, a great communicator, and extremely professional. He is SO quick, knows exactly what he’s doing and what looks good, will help you pose when you feel awkward and has fun energy to help you relax. On our wedding day, he went above and beyond. Our guests LOVED him, he was so fun to be around, and only added to the party. And finally, the photos are breathtaking. They tell an amazing story, the lighting is perfection, and the shots are as creative as they are authentic. He’s amazing and he doesn’t know it but will be photographing the rest of my life’s events :) Your photos are forever, and he is who you want capturing that!

My hubby and I cannot say enough about how amazing our photographer, Tara was on our wedding day! As a couple who never takes photos we knew we needed someone that could capture the candid moments without us having to do anything and give us instructions on how to pose without us feeling like it was too much or a tiring process. We had our wedding at Merriman's so Tara was able to capture our beautiful intimate ceremony/reception and sunset photos on the rocks where we got views of the mountains and the water. Extra bonus points for helping me walk and pose on the rocks and making me feel comfortable the entire time!! We also loved that all of our vendors had worked together many times before--it was very clear that our photographer and videographer were in sync. To top everything off Tara got our photos back SO quickly--we were shocked! It was so much fun a couple of weeks later sitting on our couch going through all our photos and being able to truly relive the moment. Thank you Tara for absolutely everything!! We look forward to seeing you again soon when we're back for vow renewals!!

Hey y’all! My name's Gabriella, I love sunshine and I'm a documentary-style wedding & engagement photographer based in Philadelphia. I'm a hopeless romantic and I adore documenting love stories with my camera in a beautiful & compelling way. Basically, I’m a down-to-earth gal from Pennsylvania who got hooked on the travel bug at college in Georgia (go dawgs!!), has a passion for storytelling and absolutely loves love. Running, biking and chasing sunsets are my favorite pastimes. I’m team coffee AND team tea. I dream real big and I’m full of ambition. Oh, and I'm not just you wedding photographer ... I'm your new friend :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow!! Working with Gabriella was an absolute treat! When we were looking for a wedding photographer, I stumbled onto her Instagram page and fell in love with her work. For our wedding photos, we wanted real photos, not overly edited, too dark or too light and Gabriella’s work caught our eyes. From her angles to the way she captured the beauty in everything she shot. When I kept comparing the work of others to hers, I knew we had to book her for our wedding! From start to finish, Gabriella was so good at making us feel comfortable and natural. I am so thankful we booked the engagement session before the wedding because it gave us a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera and get to know Gabriella!! Through the planning process, Gabriella was diligent to check in to see if we needed anything and gave super helpful tips. With just a few weeks out, I found myself calling Gabriella once a week with little questions or last minute confirmations. She always met my phone calls with compassion and willingness to answer anything! Now, wedding day!!! Gabriella arrived on time and ready to jump into action! Through the chaos of the day, she worked around everything in the background and introduced herself to everyone. She was totally my calm through the day, I didn’t feel like I needed to know my timeline because I was certain she had it down. Even if things did not go as planned, she kept my priorities at the forefront and never made me worry. She was sure we hit all of our major points of the day. Gabriella was so easy to be comfortable in front of. Some of our most intimate moments, like the first look with my dad and groom, reading our letters, and opening gifts- Gabriella captured them beautifully and gracefully. The entire day, we were able to be completely enamored with one another and did not worry about where our photographers were. They captured beautiful photos without being overbearing or intrusive. Before Gabriella left for the night, she was sure to say goodbye to us as well as both of our parents. It is personal touches like that, that make your photographer. Everyone in the wedding party commented on how great our photographers were. For our engagement photos and our wedding photos, Gabriella went above and beyond with our sneak peaks! She promptly sent us a HUGE gallery, that we fell in love with! It was great to share them immediately with friends and family, and they all drooled over the photos too! Our photos were clearly, unapologetically, us. She enhanced the natural beauty that was around us. Our experience with Gabriella exceeded our hopes and perfectly captured our love.

I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVED our engagement photo session and photos from Justin McCallum. The whole experience with Justin was amazing. My fiancé and I felt so at ease, and we wish he could photograph us all the time. We knew we were going to have a good time and the photos were going to be great but the whole shoot really exceeded our expectations. One of the things that was important to us was to have our dog be a part of our engagement shoot. Justin was so accommodating and had no problem incorporating him into the session.   I was particularly worried about how people were going to react with how I look in our photoshoot. I'm a proud plus size girl, but my whole life it has been rare for me to take a photo without SOME sort of comment about my appearance from others. There was a good two years where I just did not take photos of myself which I really regret. When I got the photos back from Justin I just felt so beautiful and confident, really how every bride should always feel. I did not care what comments were coming my way because of how proud I was of the shoot. I'm crying writing this which is silly but I want everyone to know how beautiful I felt in my engagement photos! We absolutely recommend Justin to everyone. If you are not someone who is used to the camera or uncomfortable in front of the camera, definitely book with Justin, he will make everything easy and you will feel beautiful!

Working with Sophia was amazing! My husband and I were living in 2 different states when we got married and our wedding was held in a location several hours away from the both of us. Sophia was so accommodating in planning our big day even though we couldn’t meet in person due to our circumstances. She even went to our wedding venue location months before our wedding to spot good places to take photos. When we requested a second photographer, she was so quick and helpful in accommodating this need. She was so organized and ask for detailed information before the big day and this made sure everything ran smoothly and we got all the photos we wanted! We were really big on having someone to capture the joy of our big day and that’s exactly what Sophia did! When we saw all out photos it was incredible to see all the fun she captured from our guests and ourselves! She was also super quick to return all of our photos and there over 1000 photos to look at! Even after the wedding, Sophia went out of her way to ask me if she could submit photos to be published in a magazine. Because of her great skills one of our wedding photos was published in the Baltimore Weddings review!

She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough.

My work is photojournalistic — I approach weddings through a documentary lens, telling the truth with beautiful and timeless imagery.

Awarded Best of Zola
For our wedding experience, my husband and I were looking for a photographer that specialized in candids— someone who was focused on capturing natural moments versus the formal, posed ones. Gabbie delivered. She photographed our at-home engagement session, our typhoon-ridden wedding day, and threw in a post-wedding session for free due to circumstances out of our control on the wedding day. Our venue was not prepared for the day to be rained out, so there was minor chaos that I learned of after the fact. Gabbie and her second shooter never let on to any mishaps or miscommunications on the venue’s behalf and fought through the absolute freezing rain with us all day. We deeply cherish all of the photos she took… from us dancing together in the kitchen of our first home, to us bundled up under an umbrella, kissing in the rain after the ceremony, to priceless images of our friends and family breaking it down on the dance floor at the reception, and to the bridal portraits she took of us months after the wedding when she wasn’t satisfied with what we were able to get on the actual wedding day. We have nothing but great things to say about Gabbie and would highly recommend!

Hi! My name is Valerie! I am a hopeless romantic who wants to be behind the lens of your love story. I fell in love with photography in my high school darkroom. I went on to major in media and communication at University of Washington with a focus on visual arts. I have always been a story teller, a big feeler and obsessed with all things love, so photographing weddings is quite literally living my dream. I have photographed over 130 weddings and have the same passion for them as when I first started. I cannot see myself doing anything else.

Awarded Best of Zola
I got engaged in December 2019, patiently planning my wedding since I was a little girl. After engagement I went straight to finding vendors with photography being the biggest one for me. I messaged a couple but Valerie started up a conversation at 2am one morning and we talked for what seemed like forever. I immediately felt comfortable around her and booked her! We did our first engagement shoot, my husband hates photos and always feels awkward but Valerie made it so effortless at this photo shoot. Literally climbed in the snow, over rocks, laid on the ground to get the perfect pictures. It didn’t feel like just any photo shoot, it felt personalized and it was amazing. We did our second photo shoot and drove to hurricane ridge where Valerie found a beautiful waterfront area to stop at first, I didn’t even know that place existed! Then our wedding day comes and it feels as if Valerie is already a life long friend, if I need to pee she’s there to help, if I need honestly anything she was there. We did a small intimate wedding because of Covid and she made it feel like a full blown big wedding. We then had our bigger wedding a year later and Valerie drove me to the venue, helped me de-stress and again made having photos taken effortless. From the posed photos to the candid ones, she is just such a talented photographer. I moved to Denver, CO and I’m flying her out here the end of March for maternity photos! She is just so amazing and I couldn’t imagine hiring anyone else as a photographer. Highly highly recommend her to everyone, she will make your day the most perfect day

We we're incredibly lucky to work with Morgan. She shot the most beautiful photos, talked us through poses while also capturing the sweetest candids. She was caring, inclusive and we had the best experience with her. Can't wait to work with her again! Swifties unite 3

Audrey was so easy to work with and her work is absolutely gorgeous! She made wedding planning feel like a breeze, guided me through all the important photo moments of the day, and executed it all flawlessly! The wedding day flowed so smoothly. We felt so well cared-for and I don't think there were any missed moments. She also hired the perfect second shooter and directed them to assist her to execute the day. Besides the day itself, her images are absolutely gorgeous! Wonderful minimalist editing, and beautiful, artistic angles shot throughout the day helped capture perfect, magazine-worthy photos. I love them so much! I've had family and friends compliment the album and ask about my photographer. I can tell she takes so much pride and in her work to deliver the highest quality product. Thank you Audrey!

Get To Know Me: I'm an intimate wedding & elopement photographer based in Rexburg, Idaho. Though, you better believe I'll travel anywhere for you! I've been doing photos for 6 years now and I'm in LOVE with it! When I'm not doing photos I'm singing/karaoking, going on hikes/nature walks, playing board games with the fam, watching movies/binging shows, listening to music, and doing anything outdoors! I'm also a total foodie, avid reader, and love animals. Fun Fact: My favorite weddings to do are outdoorsy, boho, romantic or adventurous weddings! Also, heads up I will fangirl with you over your dress!

Adriana was full of life and sooo easy to work with! She quickly and easily communicated everything we need to make our photoshoot happen. She met us at the location early to scout a good spot and ended up getting the most magical pictures of my fiancé and I. She was so fun and outgoing so getting our pictures taken was such a breeze. She is so good at catching those candid moments and just chatting with you until you're comfortable. 101/10 would recommend Adriana!

Abby Taylor Photography

Newport Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Waimanalo, HI for additional fees

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's style of photography is immediately recognizable; soothing tones with an eye that designs a photo straight out of a movie scene. I have been so fortunate to work with her and see her in action. Her presence is one of decisive and calming energy. I have been amazed again and again at how she innovates in the moment, creating something that was hum drum into a magical or enlightening method or way of doing something. I can't recommend her enough for your wedding day and all special moments 3

We couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional service provided by our photographers! From the moment they arrived, punctual and ready, they went above and beyond to ensure every moment was captured flawlessly. Not only did they have an eye for the big picture, but they also attended to the smallest details, like fixing Anthony's tie or assisting Ada with her dress buttons, making sure everything was picture-perfect. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. They were attentive, responsive, and truly invested in understanding our vision. Additionally, We were amazed by how quickly they delivered sneak peeks the very next day, allowing us to relive the magic instantly (and honestly every time someone asks how the wedding was). Even though they're based in Texas, we would not hesitate to rebook them for any future events. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for their clients make them stand out in the industry. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable! 5 stars without a doubt.
