HI, I'm Alli! I am a destination wedding & portrait photographer traveling around the United States since 2016! As your wedding photographer my goal is to capture the memories you're in the moment experiencing so you can be taken right back to the day no mater how much time has passed. Wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. These are heirlooms that you will pass down to those who love you, so let's give them honest real images about a love worth remembering JUST AS IT IS!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot stress enough how it will be the best decision you've made for your wedding to hire Alli as your photographer. From the moment I sent in an inquiry form, she has delivered such a luxury experience. From being in constant communication, to making me feel so comfortable and beautiful at my engagement shoot, to even helping me choose the aesthetic for bridesmaids dresses! Alli truly goes above and beyond what I expected a wedding photographer to do for me. The day of the wedding we did a private shoot with just her and her partner and WOW - I was blown away by the pictures. We had such a high end experience, from the quality of the photos to how professional and speedy she was at the shoot. It was important to me to not spend the whole day taking pictures, as I truly wanted to be in the moment and enjoy my wedding day. What she did for us in an hour would have taken several with a regular photographer. Alli has shot several events for me including engagement photos, my wedding, and multiple branding shoots. I cannot recommend her enough.

For me, photography is about preserving the authentic joy and genuine feelings that make your love story unique. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a storyteller, an artist, and a curator of memories. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that is uniquely yours. I take a personalized approach to each project, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences. The result is an individualized experience where every detail is curated to ensure your day is as special and distinctive as your love.

The elopement photo shoot we booked was great from start to finish. Jasmine was amazing, as I expected! This was not my first time working with her. Jasmine was very professional and had great ideas for photos. All communication was clear from the beginning. The day of the event Jasmine directed everyone which I greatly appreciated. I got all of the pictures/poses I was looking for and then some. Cannot say enough good things about Jasmine and her work!

Hi! I'm Amy Ronk, a photographer currently based in Denver, CO. After attending photography school, weddings kind of stole my heart. I love love of every kind, and it's always such an honor to be considered to capture your wedding day. I focus mainly on candid moments, and showcasing the emotions of the day. I think it's important to walk away from your wedding with timeless, beautiful photos that will remind you just how special your day was.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Amy for our wedding photos after seeing her art style and knew it would be a perfect fit for our venue! We got married inside of a cavern, and it was so important to us that our photographer was comfortable with that lighting situation. We had a few calls with Amy (since we lived in different states) to get to know each other, and she sent a questionnaire to get more info which we really appreciated! When we met, her energy was so calming and inclusive and she made us and our family/friends feel completely at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. And when I saw our photos, my jaw dropped. I could not believe she captured such incredible detail of our whole day. The pictures do all of the talking, we are forever grateful to have them. My grandmother passed 2 months after our wedding, and I got to show her all of our wedding photos which is a moment I will cherish forever. 3 10/10 recommend!

From the first introduction phone call to hugging her goodbye at the end of our wonderful wedding day, Makayla was Amazing. She heard my wishes and concerns about our wedding photos and helped me see her vision. And even got me in a rowboat! (Forever Grateful!) And the final results are breathtaking and I can’t choose a single photo I love more than others. They’re all above and beyond my expectations.

Stephanie did an amazing job capturing the special moments at our wedding! She was very easy to communicate with, make sure she understood what kind of pics we were hoping she’d capture, took time to get pictures of the rings/decorations before the ceremony began, & was very patient with us getting pics with all our friends/family. Bonus was she got pics of just my husband & I after we got married & it was so awesome that she captured those moments of just the two of us. We are aren’t great with posing so she also helped guide us & got great candid moments between my husband & me. We almost didn’t get a photographer, but I definitely would have regretted it. I’ll cherish these pictures forever!

I've had a camera in my hand since I was at least ten years old. Photography has always been something I've been passionate about. I was the friend that captured all the memories in high school.

People inspire me, YOU inspire me. I’d love to capture your story. I've grown to know this about myself when it comes to photography: my favorite style is a blend of documentary & journalism... the kind that takes you back and makes you feel a part of the moment when photo was actually captured. The type that TELLS A STORY, YOUR story. The kind that captures personality, messiness, and REAL expression. I'm obsessed with being able to do all of this through a lens and a camera. Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere.

Awarded Best of Zola
I absolutely loved my experience with Brandon. He was friendly, confident and an overall dream photographer! My now husband and I were blown away by our photos. Brandon was patient and understand of our circumstances. Both of my parents resided at the church where we wed and Brandon was more than willing to take photos out there at the gravestones. I wouldn't wanted to have anyone else on my special day. His amazing bright personality calmed our nerves. Thank you for being such a blessing!

If you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins enough!! We hired Stephanie at the recommendation of a friend - and I’m so glad we did!! Putting aside the fact that her photos are STUNNING (which they are), Stephanie had such a relaxing and fun presence that she made taking wedding photos a good time! It’s so clear in both her attitude and her work that she loves what she’s doing, and that makes the whole experience 1000x better. On top of that, her work is simply gorgeous. She has such an eye for angles and poses that really comes through in the photos. Stephanie also sent us a sneak peak gallery the day after the wedding (which is not the norm!), which was so nice and let us relive some of our favorite moments the next day! Stephanie was responsive, professional, and best of all TALENTED. Again, if you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, hire Stephanie!!!

We had a very small wedding ceremony due to COVID and we hired Andrew to capture the entire day for us. This included shots of us getting ready, a photo shoot of both of us before the ceremony, the ceremony itself and a small dinner afterwards. We could not have been happier with Andrew's professionalism and his ability to put us at ease. He let us make suggestions and offered his own ideas of shots to take and was able to take charge and slip into the background easily. During the dinner afterwards, we asked him to sit down and join us and he fit right in with our party! We were very happy with the quality and variety of the photos and would absolutely recommend him to all of our friends!

My husband and I got married this past weekend - so far, we’ve only seen the sneak peek (which to our surprise she sent us before midnight on the day of the wedding), and we are absolutely obsessed with how well she captured such special moments and the quality of the photos. We had so much fun hanging out with Melanie on our wedding day, and we are already so impressed with her photography skills.

Sara photographed our October 2023 wedding, as well as our engagement photos in fall of 2022. She came highly recommended to us by our wedding planner, and did not disappoint! She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with! She delivered our photos for both engagement and wedding far faster than her contract dictated she needed to. She was a big help on our wedding day wrangling our families, ensuring all our requested photos were taken in time, and going above and beyond in doing things like bustling my wedding dress. More than anything, she is FUN! We had never been professionally photographed before and she made being in front of the camera easy. We love our photos and will cherish them for years to come.

Let's skip the business part and jump in, heads first, into being best friends?!

To live in the moment is my motto, allowing myself to be true to my feelings and always see the bright side of every experience. I've been photographing for 3 years and making friends along the way, creating memories that will withstand the test of time with a touch of art. Let's connect and make beautiful memories!?

Maria from Rise & Roam Photography was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Both my husband and I didn't want typical, cheesy wedding photos, but rather photos that captured our individual personalities, our love, and the special moments--both big & small--throughout the day and night of our wedding. Maria did just that, and more! Not only is her artistic style what we had been looking for, but Maria made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera, and able to be ourselves. She's professional and yet fun & funny, so we instantly felt at ease with her. She captured all the photos we wanted from the day, and then some, and we are so happy with the finished product. We highly recommend Maria/Rise & Roam Photography for your wedding (and other professional photography) needs!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have admired Steve's beautiful work for years! He has an artistic style that is uniquely his and that comes to him so naturally after years of honing his craft. He has an eye for things that most people wouldn't have seen. I've had the pleasure of getting to work with him several times now and he's so kind and has such a calming presence which is exactly what you want from your wedding photographer/videographer! I'm currently helping my sister plan her wedding and when she got engaged he was the first vendor I sent to her to look at. She was blown away, as I knew she would be, by his work and loved how his wedding videos felt so natural, candid, and also didn't look like every other wedding video. His ability to tell a story both in photograph and video is remarkable. As a wedding photographer, if I had to redo my wedding day, I would without a doubt have Steve there to capture it.

Hello! I’m Sharon and I own Sharon Elisabeth Photography. I feel so grateful every day that I get to capture the most heartfelt moments and feelings that occur during weddings as well as documenting the relationships between people who love each other so much – families, friends and couples! I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.

Awarded Best of Zola
What an incredibly talented and genuinely caring professional! My new husband and I had a truly amazing experience, from start to finish, while working with Sharon. We were so excited for her to photograph our wedding after getting our beautiful engagement photos back and she did not disappoint – far from it! Her communication with us over time eased much of my anxiety, as well, as we had the opportunity get to know each other more and design the perfect shot list for our big day. From getting ready early on to the conclusive reception send-off, her creative eye captured our love for one another and allowed our joy to shine through in every photo. She even got down in the grass herself, multiple times, to get that perfect angle. We were extremely impressed with the coordination and partnership between Sharon and her assistant photographer, and their efficient use of the time we had to take a long list of desired shots in between our ceremony and reception, as well. Take it from a naturally awkward and uncomfortable person – your photographer can make a giant difference on your wedding day. Finally, I must mention the fact that my husband’s mother passed away nearly three weeks after we were married, and upon learning of this, Sharon created an online gallery with some of the photos from our wedding that featured his mother in such a beautiful way. Being able to share some of these at her funeral and commemorate her joy from that day was invaluable and so appreciated. The two of us are so very grateful that Sharon came so highly recommended by our reception venue’s staff and would not have changed a single thing!

Molly was amazing to work with! She took our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Our guests raved about how fun yet professional she was and I loved how she was such a calm presence on a chaotic wedding day. We haven't gotten our wedding photos yet but for our engagement photos we got them back so quick and they were stunning. Exactly what I was looking for. I also love the system she used to share our album online so it was really easy to send the link to friends and family and they could see them all. I would recommend Molly to anyone wanting a fun, professional photographer who is easy to work with and takes gorgeous photos!

As a pastor I have dealt with many photographers in many weddings. I believe I can offer a unique perspective on the photographers because I see a lot of the behind the scenes. My experience with Faith and Donahue Digital Photography was the best that I have ever experienced. She is clearly talented, but to me it was the time and care and attention to people that made the difference. She worked with the family to deliver not just great pictures but an amazing experience. She didn't make herself the star of the show by taking attention away from the true star. She didn't make outrageous demands on times and locations or hold the family hostage from their guests. She was a true professional who delivered as promised. That to me makes her one of the best! I can't wait to work with her again.

We had our wedding at the club our families are members of in Rockville, MD. Prior to our wedding, we had worked with her to make sure our day would run smoothly, that there would be enough time for all the photos we wanted and of course that the entire day was covered. Jennifer was great! We did not need an engagement session, so we hadn't met, other than on zoom and via phone calls, prior to our wedding day. But you wouldn't have known it. She really did her research, took time to get to know us, what we liked and didn't like, and crafted a beautiful album for us and our families. She made sure that every image we took was what we wanted before moving on to other poses or group shots. She really made us feel like old, cherished friends and we invited her to stay after her time was up to enjoy the party and celebrate with us! We truly appreciate all her hard work, dedication and cannot wait to see her again soon for our maternity pictures! If she has your date available, don't hesitate, just book her, you will not regret it!

Quality: Jay was excellent. He captured so many great moments, great candids. Anything he lined up took a beautifully natural, but edgy look. He's great at this and it shows in his work and the way he makes his subjects feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. Responsiveness: he responded to all of our inquiries immediately, the weeks and months leading up to the wedding, until the day of, always communicating. Then kept us posted on the status of the photos after... which, by the way, were done within TWO WEEKS of the wedding. He even sent us some sneak peeks a few days after so we could share on social media. Professionalism: we contacted Jay to do a boudoir shoot prior to the wedding, which is always odd and a bit nerve-wracking bringing a stranger into such a personal setting, but he was professional to the extreme, great coaching, made us laugh and feel comfortable and had us looking our best. Value: he was with us for the entire day of the wedding, trying to catalog every moment as it happened. For the price, for his style and incredible skill, for the speed of return, for HOW MANY photos we got back (over 1,000!), his value can't be beat. Flexibility: he shot our private boudoir (indoors), pre-wedding (outdoors), wedding with friends and family, around-town reception on Halloween night - vast array of settings and styles with seamless transition. The dude is just that good. You're done shopping around.

I'm a lifestyle photographer with a passion for capturing your keepsake moments! With work experience in event management, I understand the behind the scenes of weddings & I am fully equipped to deliver you fun AND professional service on your big day. I've captured weddings, engagements (hello crouching behind a tree to capture the proposal moment), and so much more. What I love about weddings is witnessing such happiness and love. I spend my time capturing the glances between couples, Grandma's smile, and your special details. If you want to see where attention to detail, professionalism, lightheartedness & sarcasm meet...let's chat!

To say that Tori is a gifted photographer is the understatement of the year. I usually hate every photo of myself - but at my wedding, Tori took photos that I proudly hang in my house and that make me feel like a model. She not only is gifted at photography, but she knows how to command a crowd or energetic children without dampening the good mood. She will get photos that look magazine-worthy no matter the event. In a world where everyone tries to be an amateur photographer using their phones, trust that a professional like Tori will give you stunning photos that will last for years to come!

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

Peter's expertise and suggestions were invaluable when it came to capturing all the important photos we would not want to overlook. He also worked extremely hard getting those important candid shots that serve to freeze the memory of that special day.

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, we are always looking for talented photographers to recommend to our clients and Jess is someone we routinely recommend. Her approach to photography is authentic and personal and photos are always filled with so much emotion. She seems to perfectly capture couples in a way that allows you to feel like you know them and their personal story. She is perfect for couples looking to have their day captured naturally and not in a forced style. Along with her talent, Jess is a joy to work with on wedding days. She's a quit yet quick, seeming to always be where she needs to be at exactly the right moment without having a camera in your face. With so many photographers out in the market, it can be hard to stand out, but Jess has seemingly found her place in this industry and her work speaks for itself. Any couple would be lucky to have her capture their day and any vendor is lucky to work alongside her.

Mikkel Paige Photography doesn't simply take photos - she creates them. She'll laugh and joke with you to get those smiles going to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you’re free to be yourselves. Her vibrant photos resonate with couples who gravitate towards color and the details. Mikkel is an avid traveler and will go any distance to capture love and work with fun-loving couples, from the Caribbean, to California, Walt Disney World, Norway and beyond.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mikkel was more than just our photographer, she was a partner to us for the wedding as a whole! We had a destination wedding on the new Disney cruise ship, the Wish, and while it was an amazing time there were definitely challenges to planning a destination wedding at a brand new venue that we couldn't see until the wedding trip itself. Mikkel has a strong network of contacts in the industry that kept her informed of the ship and logistics and she ended up being more helpful to us than our Disney wedding coordinator! She checked in multiple times throughout our wedding planning on photography things such as the timeline, but also helped in providing her opinion on things like the bridesmaid dresses, the locations for the first look, and was generally helpful with her wealth of knowledge of Disney Cruise Line weddings to bounce ideas off of. Her pictures were INCREDIBLE! The quality, coloring, angles, lighting, everything about them is absolutely perfect. But most importantly, she is such a warm and happy person to work with that we felt incredibly comfortable posing in front of her for hours on end! We also had the luxury of her husband helping us a bit too and they were such a team, working together in the hot Bahamian sun quickly and effectively without even needing to direct each other most of the time to maximize how many pictures we could get before the sweat ruined our dress/suit/hair! Another attribute of Mikkel's that's worth mentioning is her flexibility. We took pictures with her the days before and after our wedding in addition to the big day, and our plan and timeline for the full weekend was completely in flux due to the chaos of our venue. If that caused issues for Mikkel, we never knew as she was upbeat and positive and leaned into every challenge that came our way. Honestly I could go on and on about her, she's exactly who we needed for our wedding and I am so grateful that we found her. If you are considering Mikkel, stop thinking about it and just book her - you won't regret it!

Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime.

We came across Alaaeldin while searching online through various wedding websites, aiming to find a photographer with positive reviews, reasonable pricing, and an impressive wedding portfolio. After interviewing several photographers, we had the pleasure of connecting with Alaaeldin, who impressed us right from the start with his profound knowledge of photography and the entire wedding process. Along with his team he provided us with valuable guidance and materials from the planning stage up until the wedding day. This was incredibly helpful especially for a new bride-to-be like myself whether or not we had a wedding planner. One thing that stood out was his pro/con list regarding whether or not to do a first look. This list played a significant role in helping my husband and me make our decision. From the moment we booked Alaaeldin and his team, they were highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication was remarkable even during weeks of no communication, Alaaeldin would send a quick note to check in on how I was doing and if I needed any assistance. He even sent a thoughtful text the day before the wedding reassuring me that he was there for me if I needed anything at all. Initially, I was apprehensive about posing correctly and being conscious of having a double chin in the photos – silly, I know! However, he made us feel so at ease that we ended up going with the flow and posing naturally in the moment. They created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making the entire experience fun and memorable. We genuinely felt like we were spending time with lifelong friends. For future couples considering Alaaeldin's services, we have some valuable advice to offer: 1. Don't miss the engagement session; it's a must! and 2. definitely consider getting the photobooth! Our guests had an incredible time, and it added an exciting and lively element to the celebration.

As a photographer and a girl who has been a bride herself, I know how important it is to hire someone you trust to document your wedding day. It's more than just an 8 hour day. It's personal. It's catching the in between moments and freezing them in photos...like his reaction when he sees you in your dress for the first time. If you are looking for a wedding photography experience that is full of value and attention to detail, you are in the right place!

Professional, creative, and an absolute gem! Carly went out of her way to help my fiancé and I find a place to have our engagement photos when we were in the process of moving from out of state. She took the time to come to our private venue ahead of time to scope out spots for our wedding day photos. She made me feel beautiful on my wedding day and i love looking back at our photos. I highly recommend Carly!

My now husband and I used Jules for our wedding and could not have been happier! We are both awkward people when it comes to having our pictures taken but Jules made our engagement photos and wedding day so much fun!! Even with a tight timeline, Jules made the most of it and always asked if we would like anything else. The whole experience from the phone calls planning to the day itself was so easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Jules!!
