Hi! I’m Connie! First of all congrats!🍾 ✨Thank you for visiting my profile and considering me as your photographer! I am so excited for your big day! Here are some things you might wanna know! I’m not typical photog- I don’t just arrive on your day, leave after few hours, and deliver few months later! I’m there for all the moments leading to the big day! You can hit me up any time- we can brainstorm all the ideas, timelines, all the tiniest details! I am a fan of Pinterest vision boards, sending each other tons of messages and be open about EVERYTHING! This is your day! Let’s make it all about YOU!

Awarded Best of Zola
Connie was so sweet to work with and the images she captured brought us to tears. We flew to Chicago from CA to elope on Leap Day in City Hall and it was insanely busy! Connie arrived on time and we were running late. Due to the volume of couples waiting to get married, we waited 75 minutes to be finally called back. Connie took detail photos of us without us even noticing while we waited. She also had the idea to record our ceremony and it’s a video I treasure. She thankfully had some flexibility in her schedule to allow us to add additional time to get the shots we wanted since most of our scheduled time was taken up by waiting to be called. We loved the movement in her photos, capturing us throughout the city, and let us just bask in the newlywed bliss after the anticipation of waiting all morning. She captured the small smiles and looks between us and let us just be us, something we wanted most for our elopement. She gave us some direction but mostly let us move naturally, so if you feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, take a shot of Malört and loosen up! We would love to work with Connie again and so glad we chose her for our experience. But if you’re booking on a special date, make sure you give yourselves plenty of time!

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

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see. The only minor feedback would be that for the large group photo that was requested prior to the wedding (all 75 guests in one group picture after the ceremony) wish there had been more directions given to guests to follow (using the mic that I had offered for directions to be shared aloud) how to come together / move around in an organized and efficient way that would work for the pictures. But overall, it has been a great experience working with Isaac for these past several months and we are very happy with his work that captures the moments of our special day in a soft and hear-warming manner.

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

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Ashley to photograph our wedding in July 2022. She is talented, professional, and genuinely fun to work with. She was attentive and organized when photographing us and our extended family before, during, and after the ceremony, and she also captured some excellent candid shots while roaming the venue during the welcome dinner and reception. Ashley cheerfully went above and beyond, indulging us when we wanted to sneak away for an unplanned sunset picture on the bluffs after the ceremony, and offering beautiful portraits of our friends and family during the reception. In brief, Ashley is great at what she does, and I highly recommend her.

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

Alana did our engagement pictures on location in Joshua Tree. She’s super friendly and communicates very quickly and efficiently with her clients. She did an amazing job getting lots of natural candida and a fantastic job editing them! We got the pictures in a reasonable time frame, and are so happy to have these as memories.

I’m a modern and journalistic photographer who specializes in capturing candid, spontaneous moments in a natural and unobtrusive way. It is characterized by its emphasis on storytelling and the use of a documentary style of photography. modern and journalistic photography emphasizes authenticity, storytelling, and capturing the unique personality and emotions of the subject. By using a natural and unobtrusive approach, I create a more personal and intimate representation of their subject.

Bryan took our wedding photos back in June. In addition to all the great reviews already here, I want to rave about his artistry and genuine personality. He was sensitive to my needs and my Korean-speaking family and relatives. This is apparent in the way he communicates and addresses everyone (So important!) He walked me through the entire event and sweetly reminded me when it was photo-time and time to meet the guests and so forth (I didn't really have an idea what I was supposed to do.) He also told me when my lipstick needed retouching when no-one else did! He also took charge when the videographer I hired ran out of ideas for poses. He stayed until the end to capture our moments. The photos came out beautifully. He is a gem.

As a young kid, I remember staring at my parents black and white wedding photos for a long time. It captivated me. I am very lucky to have those memories and that is what I want for my clients. I love capturing beautiful imagery through posing, beautiful light and when there isn't light, I like to create it. I can be a goof ball capturing the unexpected filled laughter. Come look at my work, and hopefully we can connect.

I'm an event manager and have a list of preferred vendors I work with and recommend to our clients. I've worked with Connie for many years. She is professional, talented, easy going and offer beautiful products and amazing work! You won't be disappointed.

Eli Holmes Photo + Film

2.0

Block Island, RI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves San Jose, CA

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

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

I was absolutely stunned when we got our gallery back. The care that Amber puts into composing the perfect image speaks for itself when you see the final product. There was no detail missing and i’m so glad we have these to look back on for the rest of our lives. I recommend Amber to all my newly engaged friends because the experience is unparalleled - she is the best!

Welcome. "I BELIEVE...connection matters. Photos tell our story and carry our legacy. Melanin matters on camera. Every human deserves to be seen. 8 out of 10 humans say they feel awkward in front of the camera; Laughter is the antidote." ​ It is my loud passion to capture the personality of relationship...within couples, families, communities, and even organizations. And I have been this way since I was a kid. With my hot pink camera in tow, 8-year old me would capture the loud joy of my BIG extended family. Little did I know...they were my training ground in photography. And I am happy to say that my approach to photography hasn't changed.

Working with Brandi and her team has been an absolute pleasure! We've collaborated on five events together, and each time has been an effortless and seamless experience. When I popped the question about her availability for my own wedding, her enthusiastic response sealed the deal. From the moment my wife met Brandi over Zoom, she knew we had found our perfect match. Her warmth and professionalism shone through, and it was evident that she was not just a talented photographer but also someone with whom we could easily connect. Our wedding day was captured beautifully, with every moment immortalized in stunning photographs that we will cherish forever. Such was the impact of Brandi's work that we didn't hesitate to book her again for my wife's birthday celebration in November 2023. Once more, she delivered beyond our expectations, capturing the essence of the occasion flawlessly. If you're in search of a photographer who not only has an eye for detail but also possesses a wonderful personality, look no further than Brandi. She's attentive, creative, and a joy to work with. Trust me, hiring Brandi will be one of the best decisions you make for your special day!

We hired Carrie as our wedding photographer, and also have done an engagement photo session with her. We're both somewhat camera shy, and didn't know quite what to expect with a photo session, but we had a wonderful time with Carrie and enjoyed the whole experience immensely. She has been fast to respond and stay in touch, and we just got our engagement photos today. Among the comments we've already received are "wow, those are the most beautiful engagement photos I've ever seen!" What initially attracted us to Carrie was the excitement and enthusiasm she had from when we first met, and she's maintained that same attitude through every interaction we've had with her. We enjoyed working with Carrie for both our engagement session at a regional park as well as our wedding photos at an old church and rose garden. She took indoor and outdoor pictures well, and captured fun moments and interesting angles that highlighted the locations we chose well.

Photography is deeply embedded in my past.

I bring positive energy, and connect with and delight your guests and vendors. I have photographed in destinations as distant as India, Paris, London, Aspen, Mexico, New York, Los Angeles, North Carolina, even a wedding on a cruise ship! But, San Francisco is the city I know like the back of my hand – a city that I believe is the best photo studio in the world. I am an expert San Francisco City Hall wedding photographer.

Sasha is an excellent, exceptional, outstanding photographer. He is also very professional. When I was researching photographers for our wedding, Sasha took the time to explain what he would do and how he would do it. He explained the difference between his packages so we could make an educated decision. He has done everything he said he would even with a 2 year delay because of Covid. At all 3 photo shoots Sasha put us at ease, was funny, and wonderful to work with. At our 2 events, Sasha was not intrusive and took all the pictures we requested, plus many, many more based on the event, environment, and setting. The final pictures are vibrant, beautiful and a wonderful reminder of our fabulous wedding and celebration! I highly recommend Sasha. You will not be disappointed.

I’m a San Francisco wedding photographer with a style that combines emotion and photojournalism to create beautiful and intimate wedding photos. My focus is on seamless storytelling that highlights beauty and brings the spirit of the event into every detail. I’m inspired by connection and absolutely love photographing weddings. My style is modern, romantic, and authentic. The moments captured are candid using editorial and documentary techniques. I have an eye for charm, humor, and the little things that make someone look drop dead gorgeous. I capture you in your best light and bring you back to these magic moments for years to come.

I am so freaking glad we worked with Tiana. Not only are the final products of what she creates absolutely magnificent, she has such a calm, caring and professional demeanor that really helps in the moment. I worked with her first for my wedding, and I am so glad I did. She was really able to capture the magic of the moment, and I am utterly obsessed with the photos! She had great suggestions when I needed them on how to pose and what to do (which helps me so much b/c I can feel so awkward in front of the camera!). She gently but firmly helped us stay on schedule for our sunset portraits, which I appreciated b/c I would have forgotten or skipped it if up to me. I also then worked with her for a portrait session with my housemates, and this is really significant, because I’ve never really done a full shoot like this before (aside from the wedding) and she was amazing to work with on that as well. Tiana was able to capture the dynamics and sweetness between us, and again, that sweet, calm, and fun demeanor of hers really put us all at ease that showed in the photos. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate! She’s worth it.

Welcome! My name is Maisie but I also so by my nickname, Maze! I am a professional photographer based in San Diego, California! I have been in the wedding industry for 6+ years now - I am so proud of the work I create and the connections I form. To ensure I perform at my best, I only take on around 12 weddings a year. I truly cannot wait to meet you and answer any questions you may have.

We were on the hunt for a photographer for what seems like months. I found Maze from a friend and after meeting over the phone, we felt so happy about our decision to wait on hiring a photographer! We are from out of town and decided to have our wedding in san diego - she was extremely helpful in giving us location advice, timeline advice, and so much more. Our wedding day was amazing specifically because of maze and our amazing coordinator. I cannot say enough good things - I will be referring her to ALL my friends getting married soon. Maze we love youuu so much!! Thank you for everything

Offbeat Photography with a Narrative Twist. I've been having fun photographing weddings for over 18 years. I find the excitement, nervousness, love, and joy inspiring to create great photographs that tell a story. I have been in love with photography since I've been a kid. Since then I have photographed actors, film directors, authors, and some very unique characters that have informed my perspective on life.

Pat was amazing at our wedding, she'd show up at places, corners you never expected her to be, she'd hang from the ceiling if she could get a better shot! We felt like movie stars with the paparazzi's on us at all time! She shot from beginning to the end of the wedding party and came out with over 500 beautiful photos we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Patricia, you really captured to mood and what we worked so hard for to create a memorable wedding for everyone with the focus on us but also all of our guests and the three phases of the wedding. You did a AMAZING job!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

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

Combining the perfect setting with the right color palate and a bit of art direction for my clients is my superpower. My approach for portraits can be described as editorial, and my goal is to artfully capture the essence of you!  

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply put, working with Laura on our wedding day was the best decision we could have possibly made. She was friendly, timely, professional, speedy, expeditious; all of the things you would hope for on such an insanely hectic and important day. And as for the results... we couldn't be happier! Laura and her shooting partner captured the day beautifully from start to finish without ever overstating their presence, and as pleased as we are with the organized photos, we are equally impressed by the 'in-between' moments that they were able to capture. We could not recommend Laura highly enough and are looking forward to the next time we are able to work with her again. Cheers!

Our shared passion for fashion and art not only bonded us but also made working with Michelle Alexandra an incredibly inspiring experience. From our very first conversation, it was evident that Michelle's creative vision and aesthetic sensibilities resonated deeply with our own. Michelle's appreciation for art and fashion extended far beyond the realm of photography. She understood the importance of style, composition, and visual storytelling in capturing the essence of our wedding day. We found ourselves engrossed in conversations about design, color palettes, and iconic fashion moments, drawing inspiration from each other's perspectives and ideas. It was this shared enthusiasm for the intersection of art and fashion that fueled our collaboration and infused every aspect of the photography process with creativity and innovation. Michelle's keen eye for detail and her ability to blend contemporary trends with timeless elegance added an extra layer of sophistication to our wedding photographs, elevating them from mere documentation to works of art in their own right. Moreover, our shared passion for fashion and art created a sense of camaraderie and mutual understanding that transcended the client-photographer relationship. It felt like we were co-conspirators in a creative endeavor, each contributing our unique insights and inspirations to craft images that were truly extraordinary. In the end, it was Michelle's unwavering commitment to her craft and her genuine appreciation for beauty and artistry that set her apart as a photographer. Her ability to seamlessly integrate our shared passion for fashion and art into the fabric of our wedding photography experience made the entire journey not just memorable but truly magical.

Since then, Betsy has been on the road with One Direction, One Republic, Charlie Puth, and most recently Trevor Noah. Betsy's eye for candid moments and storytelling has led to photographing weddings around the world. She lives for documenting life and love through the lens. Betsy looks forward to hearing from you and bringing your vision to life!

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

It was there, in the middle of her Czech adventure, that the passion for film photography was born. Now, an award-winning fine art wedding photographer, Radostina resides in San Francisco, with her husband Martin and their English bulldog, Fuji.

We are so happy that we chose Radostina to capture our special moment. Everything was smooth and contributed to the overall experience - from the initial contact to photographing the event to delivering the stunning photos. Radostina's attention for detail is second to none and her taste is impeccable, she gave us great ideas before and during the event on how to capture every moment in a way that we can preserve our memories. The colors, the captured light and the emotions on the pictures are just mesmerizing, probably because it was captured on film. We'd love to have Radostina capture another special moment for us in the future.

I'm a digital & film photographer living in NYC capturing weddings, couples, and life around me. I have a genuine love for creating images you'll look back on that'll always give you butterflies! I approach photography intentionally, and am emotionally driven behind the camera. I’m all about those in-between candids and documenting in the moment, as well as artful posing. I love making genuine connections with people, and the natural friendships that can come from working together! Approaching your wedding photography as an art form is just a small part of why I absolutely love what I do.

Working with Rebecca was a pleasure from start to finish. It was really important to us to book vendors who made us feel comfortable and after our first call with Rebecca we knew she would be great to work with for our big day. She made us feel so comfortable from day 1, from booking to our engagement shoot (which she did in our neighborhood, it was so special!) to all of the pre-wedding day communications and the big day. Rebecca and Annaleigh were so great to work with on the wedding day, they were so kind and flexible and made us and our guests all feel at ease. They kept us on schedule and made sure we got all of the portraits we were looking for, in such a smooth way without us feeling stressed. And we are so happy with how our photos came out, they did such a great job of capturing the big moments as well as the small ones, all of the candid photos of our guests are so special. My friends have been raving about their experience with the company on the big day as well as with our photo quality. Would 100% recommend to anyone!

I have been putting my decade plus of expertise into each and every one of you, from your morning mimosa to the last dance of the night. Wether we’re here in Ohio or deep in the mountains, I’ll follow where your heart leads you. Wedding days can be fleeting no matter how you spend them and you deserve someone who builds slow moments and quick thinking into the timeline. When it's all said and done, your photos will gift you the ability to be right back in those memories and reliving the joys from the day it became the two of you, forever.

I work full-time as a fashion and wedding photographer, and promise to get all of your Arrested Development references. I'm not here to ask you to smile and look at the camera - I'm here to be your pal and make some beautiful keepsakes to look back on!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I first reached out to Alexandra after seeing her dramatic photography that looked like it had been ripped out of a magazine, she responded promptly with so much enthusiasm that choosing her was a no brainer. She didn’t balk when our original plans for a big wedding turned into an elopement, or when those plans turned into a micro wedding(we eloped in Paris but had a small backyard family ceremony). And though I was completely all over the place planning two weddings and dealing with some personal issues, she always stayed on top of communication even when I didn’t. She wore the CUTEST pink jumpsuit on our big day and had such infectious energy that kept me calm and excited even as it felt like things were not going as planned. And the photos! I longed for editorial style photography and she delivered that and more. I’m sure it’s normal for a bride to look at her wedding photos all the time, but the way I look at my own photos (plus Alexandra’s other beautiful weddings) borders obsession! I am in awe of how she amazingly captures love and how my love was immortalized through her lens. Not a day goes by where I’m not forever grateful that I came across her work, that she loved what my husband and I wrote about enjoying wrestling and Tenacious D, and that she gave us the most gorgeous representation of our special day. I literally cannot wait till I have another reason to shoot with her!

No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

She also was able to get our photos out to us a little earlier than promised. I know that can never be guaranteed but we were so freaking excited when the link hit our inbox early!
