Hey, I'm Chris! Dog-lover, latte-lover, gym-lover, and cookie-lover I justify the cookies by going to the gym. One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

He took so many incredible photos of us, helped with loads of ideas for poses, and gave us a huge variety to choose from. It was natural, easy, stress-free, and we look awesome. Our wedding photos are iconic! And he is a first rate coordinator, making communication and scheduling so easy.

There’s truly not enough words for me to express how much we LOVE Lindsay and everything she does! She is one of the sweetest, most personable people we’ve ever met. She makes you feel so comfortable and truly knows her stuff! All the way from our engagement shoot, she was so accommodating in helping to pick a location, and then helping to reschedule and pick a second location when we got rained out!! She turned around out photos SO FAST and they were all breathtaking. For our wedding, we had Lindsay and Nathan for photo and video, and again they did NOT disappoint. I had initially wondered if I should have Lindsay bring a second shooter, but decided to opt against it, and truly Lindsay’s photos turned out as if there were MORE than two shooters. She sets up still cameras, and between her and Nathan moving around like ninjas we have more angles and more photos than we could have ever thought possible. Our photos and our video all turned out better than we could have DREAMED. Her style is light and bright and beautiful but she has an amazing ability to also capture moody-type photos. Lindsay made sure we got to take photos in all of the locations around our venue that were important to us, but also did her research and came prepared with some location suggestions within our venue as well. Once again, Lindsay turned everything around in way less than the timeframe she quoted us, which is amazing since we got married amidst the height of busy wedding season. Lindsay communicates quickly and efficiently, and kept in touch with us through every step of the way. Lindsay Eileen Photography was truly the icing on our perfect day and we could NOT be more thankful for both Lindsay and Nathan and the GORGEOUS work they do!

Bonie Weddings is a wedding photography and videography company, dedicated to capturing those unscripted and genuine moments. From candid laughs and unplanned dance moves to even the cake mishaps (yes, it happens), We're there to preserve the authenticity and genuinely of your special day. Our team of professionals firmly believes that every couple should have the opportunity to capture the memories of their special day without breaking the bank.

Bonie Wedding was great to work with. From the start process, the communication was easy. Hannah was our lead photographer with Emily and Lactoya were our videographers, who were both great teams. I highly recommend using Bonie weddings for both photo and video, as the two teams worked together without any trouble. During the reception, we barely noticed their presence, yet every time we looked up they were there recording everything. It was so nice to know that your special day was captured from start to finish, without feeling overwhelming. We appreciated Hannah and Emily's directions for all the photos. The production team was great as well. Very responsive and easy to communicate. They make the entire process clear and concise, which is appreciated when the wedding planning process and day off can feel overwhelming. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received our video trailer, as well as some sneak peek pictures from Hannah via Dropbox. Hannah also did our engagement shoot and it was fun and easy. We loved how our pictures came out and are so eager to see the rest. Thank you Bonie!

Eric from Wedding Alchemy truly blew us away! After booking, Eric checked in with us regularly throughout our two year engagement and always responded right away if any questions popped up. Eric shot our engagement session, and we loved the photos so much, we used them to make our wedding guestbook. On the actual wedding day, Eric was a calming presence and truly helped make our day feel special. He knew exactly how to guide us in photos so nothing felt posed or overdone. To say we are OBSESSED with our photos is an understatement. We couldn’t recommend Wedding Alchemy enough!!

Over a year after our wedding, we still often look at the AMAZING photos Bethany captured for us on our wedding day. Do not hire ANY other photographer in the metro Washington, DC area if you want crystal clear, flattering, well-composed, and gorgeous photos of your wedding. Bethany is a delight to work with. She is calm, patient and considerate. She and her second shooter captured every conceivable aspect of our wedding that made it special to us and our guests. Bethany did it all with a smile. It was a huge relief to find a photographer who exceeded our highest hopes for a partner in preserving images of our day. We could not recommend Bethany more highly—we look forward to calling on her again as soon as we can.

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. Once I got older, and more interested in this becoming something real, I decided to start my business in 2018. I've had the pleasure of working with the most loving clients ever since.

My husband and I chose Sharp Impressions Photo for our wedding and could not have been more thrilled with our choice! Kay is the most bubbly, wonderful person to work with and made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process! Even though we had very little experience being photographed, Kay made our Engagement shoot a blast, and we truly had the best time working with her!

I’ve spent years refining an approach that allows me to sincerely honor the moment — knowing when to step in and adjust a subject or environment, and sensing when to stand back and allow a moment to just be. With me, your photographs will be an intentional representation of this time of your life — imagery that will make you feel like it was just yesterday, and yet, feel forever untouched by time. Truly, the honor is all mine. Thank you for considering me to document this luxuriously intimate wedding event.

April and Mike are a wonderful team. They arrived early, and I was impressed with their preparedness and attention to detail. They talked about our couple as if they were lifelong friends, which tells me that they make a true effort to get to know each couple past surface level. They delivered the wedding gallery in less than two months, and the photos are incredible!!

Hello! We're Ashley and Justin of The Bere Collective and we're glad you found us! We've been a romantic pair for over 11 years and we have photographed weddings together for eight years. In 2017 we eloped to Juneau, Alaska and made our union official. We are a queer wife & husband photography team that are both proudly vegan and LGBTQIA+ affirming. We do a combination of digital and film photography, including instant film photos with a polaroid land camera from the 1960's and 35mm black & white film. We adore couples that are madly in love, lush fresh florals, and venues with gorgeous natural light.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley and Justin are incredibly professional, very easy to work with, and just all around great people. The thing I cared about most on my wedding day was getting quality photos that I would cherish for the rest of my life, and they certainly delivered! The day was pretty far from traditional, but they were accommodating all the way. At first I was a bit worried about bringing photographers to a tattoo parlor to take photos of us getting our rings tattooed, but they were so cool about it and the photos turned out amazing! After the tattoo shop they followed us to the (very small) ceremony, and then to a third location just to take photos of my husband I. I'm not very comfortable in front of the camera, but they were able to capture spectacular candid shots, and in the posed photos, provide direction that helped me feel like a proper model. 10/10 would recommend, especially if you're any type of alternative.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we were first planning our wedding, my wife and I weren't sure whether or not we were going to have a videographer. We figured photos would capture the moments and event, but about a month beforehand, both of our parents urged us to record the day on video. Andrew was a godsend! He was super responsive and professional, helped us craft our vision for the teaser video as well as the longer feature, and was a notably awesome teammate to our photographer (so cool seeing them work together strategically after just meeting!). Andrew went above and beyond and recorded a lot of candid moments and all of our friends' speeches on the Friday before the wedding, which was really important to us. We can't imagine having NOT had Andrew as our videographer now, and we often smile and cry when we watch our full length video of our big day. If you choose to work with Andrew, you'll be happy you did.

Weddings are about promises, and the messy wonderful magic that is marriage. Each wedding I shoot is deeply personal to me. I’m inspired by nostalgia, history, and your story. The smallest details you’ve curated and created, the family who may be all together for the first time in years, the expectation and celebration woven through this one day. No wedding day is the same and my passion is the searching out of the moments and emotions unique to your day.

With my heartstrings always pulled by nostalgia, I find myself artistically influenced by anything from the laid back vibes of the 70’s to the punk rock aesthetics of the early 00’s. As a hopeless millennial, probably trying a bit too hard to hold onto her youth, I always try to bring a fun and lighthearted energy everywhere I go. Life is just too short to sweat the small stuff, peeps! Please inquire on my website contact page! <3

We felt the client experience and client portal were very thorough and organized. We can’t say enough how much it meant to have an inclusive photographer. Kylee made us feel comfortable to be ourselves and helped guide us and our poses during our engagement session and wedding day. The final photo gallery is very organized and complete. The dance floor pictures are so fun! Her work produced beautiful photos ranging from the traditional poses to the real and fun memories. We highly recommend working with Kylee!

It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN!

We hired Matt and Hannah for our wedding day in August of 2022. Hannah was so easy to talk to and made us feel at ease throughout all of our communications. I really wanted someone who would make me feel like I didn't have to stress at all about the photos/video on my wedding day, and they definitely fit the bill! And most importantly, the photos and video turned out amazing! They captured every moment perfectly. My favorite photos were from when we snuck out during our reception and took some amazing photos in downtown Raleigh (A dream that I had, that Hannah helped make happen!). Do yourself a favor, and just hire them. You won't regret it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Steve at Birchfields totally knocked it out of the park for us. We were on the fence about hiring a videographer, but realized we really wanted the ceremony and speeches captured professionally. We are so glad we found Birchfields. Steve was incredibly helpful from the start - answering all of our questions, giving us ideas, and helping us to come up with the right package to buy. He gave us time to think things through, and we never felt pressured or rushed. On the day of the wedding, he was so easy and fun to work with. He sent us a small film trailer of the wedding the day after, which was so awesome to have right away! We recently got back our full edited films, and they are better than we could have hoped - super well edited, amazing crisp quality, and they really honor the mood and feeling of the whole night. We are so happy to have worked with Steve, and would absolutely recommend him!

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

As planning goes, I had a last-minute idea for a proposal in the Arlington area. I wanted to make the moment unforgettable and capture it forever. I reached out to Darcy from a web search and asked if it was possible for her to capture the moment with only 24 hours' notice. To my delight, she responded promptly and was an absolute joy to work with. The weather in the area was unpredictable, but Darcy reassured me with multiple options and provided beautiful examples of what we could do. She went above and beyond just being a photographer—she became my guide and planner, giving me invaluable advice and even helping me scout the perfect location. When the big moment came, she gave me clear instructions on where she would be and positioned herself perfectly so that I knew exactly when to pop the question. My now-fiancée was completely surprised, and our friends and family were blown away by the photos. They turned out so beautifully that people thought they were a staged reenactment because of how perfect they looked. Darcy captured the magic of our proposal in a way that exceeded all my expectations. Her dedication, creativity, and genuine care for making our moment special made all the difference. I highly recommend her for any photo needs in the area—she is truly a master of her craft and made our special moment even more memorable.

I am a Documentary Wedding Photographer who captures Candid and Natural moments! I like to blend right into your day and clients describe me as calm, cool and personable. I take a variety of photos but make sure I’m not noticed while I move around. I see my purpose as preserving moments. My favorite feedback is that I captured moments that the couple didn’t see. Most importantly, I’m here for you! That might mean directing your family and keeping everything under control. My goal is to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process.

We hired Konrad as our wedding photographer and it was an excellent experience. Konrad arrived to the venue on time, we discussed the layout and went to shoot photos. Kind listened to our vision and the photos reflected his expertise. We were sent a few photos the night of and within a week after our wedding received a bunch of photos, with the remainder of our photos return within a month since our wedding date.

Are you frustrated with combing through page after page of the same old cliche'd wedding photos? Looking for something classic and timeless but with a bit of an edge? We got you. I've been creating wedding day memories for over a decade now. New Orleans. Chicago. Minneapolis. The PNW. NYC. We travel all over this country, and even internationally, when the right opportunity presents itself, documenting love stories for our amazing couples. Our goal with each new wedding, is not to be just good or “good enough”--the goal is to be world-class, one of the top wedding photography teams in the world. Each couple helps us accomplish this.

Awarded Best of Zola
I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

I'm an old soul with an excitement for life, adventure & travel. I have an incurable case of wanderlust. Yet I crave my warm cozy bed cuddled with the hubby, our son & our two fur babies. I'm a terrible singer and an even worse dancer...but that doesn't stop me. I'm attached to my phone but secretly love when it dies. I love food. Which is why my trip through Italy was documented with images of every meal I ate! I'm an overuser of smiley faces, the word "love" and exclamation points. I love surprises...sometime ask me about how the hubby proposed to me, it was a real shocker! But that's what I asked for.

Awarded Best of Zola
Writing a review is hard because no words will do justice to Meghan's work and professionalism, but I'll try my best. I first met Meghan in 2019 when she did engagement/family photos for my now husband, stepdaughter, and our dog, and we connected with her immediately. She was friendly, fantastic at directing us through poses, managed to get my stepdaughter to have a natural smile, and managed to make our dog look great. She delivered our photos promptly, and they were gorgeous. Fast-forward to a couple of years later, I reached out to aking her for last-minute professional photos, and I had the same experience. She did a fantastic job, and I still get compliments on my LinkedIn headshot. Our best experience with Meghan thus far, however, has been our wedding. Meghan didn't actually shoot our wedding because she was on maternity leave, but she was still incredible throughout the entire process. My partner and I had to postpone our wedding because of COVID, and she was amendable and responsive. When she found out that she'd be on maternity leave during our wedding, she let us know in a timely manner and set us up with one of her associates promptly. We had an extensive Zoom call with her associate, where she went through all the details of the wedding to make sure everything would be covered. She created a comprehensive timeline, and she edited and delivered our photos within a month (with a newborn!). Working with Meghan throughout the years has been one of our best investments. My partner and I can't wait to have her capture other life moments as they come. We highly recommend her for all of your photography needs.

With a knack for authentic storytelling, she works to capture a combination of artful, composed imagery and joyful candids that exude the energy and preserve the emotions of your event. She believes deeply that both the aesthetics of your day (which are sure to be stunning) and the spirit of your celebration deserve equal attention and documentation.

Awarded Best of Zola
Annemarie deserves all of the praise in the world, because she is truly the best vendor you could hope for. It goes without saying that we first wanted to hire Annemarie when we saw her stunning photographs--she is incredibly talented and has a true eye for beauty. However, with Annemarie you get so much more than that. The short version: if you want a photographer who goes above and beyond and is extremely talented, professional, responsive, helpful, reliable, kind, and accommodating, you absolutely need to hire her. The detailed version: We first met Annemarie when we did our engagement shoot, exactly a year before our wedding. The shoot was a wonderful experience thanks to her--she had so many creative ideas of where to get the perfect pictures, she gave clear directions that made us feel comfortable and at ease, and in between pictures she was wonderful and lovely to talk to. She never made us feel rushed, and even went to a second location with us to shoot more pictures. She sent us an entire gallery full of gorgeous pictures within a few weeks. As our wedding approached, she reached out consistently to check up on us, and created a detailed timeline and shot list for our day--following up and responding at any and all times with extremely useful suggestions. One day, our coordinator scheduled a very last minute venue walk-through which was not necessary to attend; we reached out to Annemarie with absolutely no expectation of her attending (less than 24 hours notice) and she immediately responded that she would be there. At the walkthrough, she again provided us with so much wonderful advice and helpful suggestions, and scoped out the entire venue with me to get ideas of where she would take pictures. On the day of our wedding, she made the day run seamlessly--providing guidance, and making sure everyone was in the locations and sticking to the schedule. She has a very calming presence, which is super useful on such a hectic day full of activities. She also brought an assistant and a second shooter with her--the three made a wonderful team that captured every important moment. I realized suddenly that I really wanted to extend Annemarie's time with us at the wedding, and was panicked because I hadn't thought to extend the contract. I pulled her aside and she immediately reassured me that she would stay and not to worry. Our wedding ended Saturday at midnight--we had a beautiful preview of our photographs by Monday morning, and our full gallery a few weeks later. We would recommend Annemarie to absolutely anyone getting married--you need the best vendors for your most important day (and arguably, photographers are one of the most important vendors), and she's simply the best.

The team took great attention to align our expectations, timeline and vision ahead of the wedding with multiple touch points. The team pre viewed the venue to ensure they were aware of the space. The day of the team came organized and enthusiastic. They had creative ideas for multiple spaces, for couples photos, wedding party, and even a great first look for my dad and I that brough us to tears! We had such a blast at the reception and the photographers were right in the mix having fun to capture every dance move!

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

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
My wife and I worked with Jess over this past year for engagement photos and coverage of our wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception). The engagement photos were done in NYC and the wedding was at a venue outside of Philadelphia. It was a true pleasure to work with Jess. She is extremely skilled, knowledgeable, communicative, and prepared. The quality of the work in her portfolio speaks for itself but I cannot overstate how thrilled my partner and I are with the photos. She managed to capture so many lovely moments and the spirit of the day. The intimacy and beauty she brings out with her portraits are astounding—I have never felt more comfortable being in front of a camera and I have never loved the result so much. The variety of the media brings a beauty to the detail I didn’t think I would care about—the place settings, the venue, and everything else look great and are considered in composition and lighting. None of the photos delivered are there just to check a box. The amount of preparation and work she puts in for each job is evident just by the uniquely specific nature of her questionnaire—her questions were helpful for us in planning! She was always quick to email us back when we had questions for her and helpful in ways we never would have expected—good news if you don’t know how to pin a boutonniere, Jess does (and she brought extra pins). The amount of choices for any type of wedding vendor is overwhelming. You would be lucky, as we were, to choose Jess.

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.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Photography register moments for generations to come. It documents lives. It brings you back to the past. It reminds you of how you were feeling at the time those images were taken. This is why I love it so much. And the whole reason why I created “Luxy”. My goal is to help our clients feel the same way I do when I look at photographs of my life. The immense joy and pleasure of knowing that I - as everyone else - have a story to tell!

Tai did our wedding photos and they came out lovely. She was perfect for our budget and didn’t disappoint. My husband and I are long distant as I am so grateful to have these photos to look at while he is away for the next 4-8 months. Thank you, Tai!

Hi, its Jessica, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Virginia. My clients are so special that they find themselves a friend for a lifetime, not just another wedding vendor. I take time to know you! I love learning about your love story, the proposal, etc. I am hopeless romantic, so I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph.

Ashley is an intensely driven, detail-oriented fan of excellent food and exhilarating romance & happens to be a passionate editorial wedding photographer. Her approach is simple–take the time to get to know each & every couple to create breathtaking, personal images. She brings together a diverse background in both the visual & performing arts to craft your wedding story through fine art imagery that you will pass on for generations to come. In her free time, she is probably snuggling with her two amazing dogs, commuting back & forth between her home in Maryland and our Malvern studio, or whipping up something extravagant in the kitchen.

Ashley and her team are so talented and experienced. They are organized and communicative during the planning process, as well as on the day. They have systems and processes in place to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. But at the same time, they provide warm, personal service. They are a pleasure to work with and the resulting images are timeless art!
