Josh is an extremely talented and kind individual. It was a pleasure to work with him as he displayed his expertise. When my partner and I had these photos done I was a complete novice in the photography world .

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

Awarded Best of Zola
I would recommend Marilyn to absolutely anyone. My entire wedding party still raves about her. From the unwavering support since the very first reach out, top-notch communication, amazing hype-woman skills, and magical photos…. Marilyn Lamanna Photography was the highlight of our wedding.

We’re a studio that does things differently. Our main goal is to make sure you’re having fun on your wedding day. To ensure that everyone getting their photo/video taken isn’t treated like another number but rather treated like family. and that the photo/video process isn’t “cookie-cutter” because everyone’s wedding day is unique and special. We’ve been to hundreds of weddings as a team, and our motto has never changed. We want you to live in the moment, while we capture it.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could I would give Willow 10000 stars! Ryan and his team (ESPECIALLY BRITT AND KAELI!) were amazing from the first email. My now wife and I procrastinated hiring a photographer, not realizing most were booking more than a year in advance, because of Willow's collective approach they were able to fit us in. We had our engagement (lovebird) session with Ryan the owner, and he was flexible and communicative during some weather rescheduling. On the day of, he understood that neither of us were comfortable in front of the camera, or used to being the center of attention. He was able to help us come out of our shell and we have amazing pictures that show our love so clearly. Leading up to the big day the team at Willow kept in touch with us and worked around our needs and understood we were procrastinators and helped us stay on track. Day of, I can't say enough about Britt and Kaeli. As soon as they showed up, I knew they were our people. They fit right in with our wild group of friends, and kept us laughing and calm when things got stressful. I was recovering from a broken leg on wedding day and still in a large bulky (UGLY) walking boot. Britt and Kaeli were able to keep it out of all our photos, without missing any photo ops. This was a huge deal to me when we got the photos back, knowing I can look back on that perfect day without having to see the reminder of my injury. Beyond just that, Britt and Kaeli gave us photos that we are quite literally obsessed with. The candids and portraits alike show our personality and love throughout. Our camp wedding was everything we could have ever asked for, and Britt, Kaeli and everyone at Willow gave us the best record, of the best day and their photos will be a cherished part of our lives forever.

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were fortunate enough to find Justin for our engagement photos. He rode with us for 3 and half hours to WV and spent the whole weekend with us! And that was all his idea!! We spent the weekend hanging out and taking photos at our favorite spots. We had to have Justin photograph our wedding in Asheville after that. Justin is extremely talented, and he makes everything so smooth and effortless. He's quick to respond to any and all questions, and in the midst of a crazy day, he is a calming presence. We never once felt awkward or uncomfortable while taking his direction. His eye for light and how to make you look you best is unbelievable. Not only did we come away with amazing photos to remember the best day ever, but we also made a friend in Justin. We're forever grateful to him!

We hired Arie for our wedding reception. She scheduled multiple check in calls with us to coordinate details before the date. She showed up on time, had good direction (like, she was good at herding people AND she was good at telling people to make tweaks so they look good), and blended in with the crowd. Looking at the results now and WOW they look even better than our memories.

Hello! I’m so excited for the chance to work with you. I’m a former teacher who has always had a passion for photography. I started working freelance in 2015 and did a lot of my first jobs in the music industry! I’ve shot Warped Tour a few times and even had one of my promos featured by AP magazine. I quickly realized I loved working with couples the most, and now focus on couple and family portraits and weddings!

Thalia was a great photographer and fun to work with. I am not very comfortable in front of the camera, but she made it feel natural with her different prompts. She has great attention to detail and a good eye. She was very flexible and was quick to adapt when our original photoshoot location wasn’t available. On the night of our wedding (we found out later) that she had hurt her back but still toughed it out and was very professional. We loved working with her and would highly recommend her to others.

My partner hates taking pictures. He agreed to take photos at our wedding, but we both agreed we wanted them to be natural and mostly candid. We had been part of wedding parties before where the photos took over the WHOLE day. It felt staged and we feared that. With Ashley, it was completely different. She worked with us to accommodate our needs, and even commuted to north Denton for our day. She seemed to understand our 'vibe' right away, and that we weren't doing a conventional wedding. Logan and Ashley were wonderful, on time, natural, and warm. They seemed to fit right in with the day and calmed some nerves for us. We actually had a great time taking pictures with them, and that is a first for us. It felt like us, and that is priceless. To say the least, we highly recommend Brownie Photo and Production. They were professional, prompt, witty, talented, and FUN

Like most children in the late 90's and early 00's, I grew up with a camera in my hand.

I'm an ENFP, 7w6, and extroverted-introvert who is not only thrilled but humbled to be a witness and historian to the significant moments in your life we are able to share together!

Lindsey is such a sweet soul, and so wonderfully easy to work with. She’s so kind and personal and obviously loves her art. I am so thankful I chose her to be a part of my special day!

Raw By Laura

5.0

Phoenix, AZ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves South El Monte, CA for additional fees

My name is Laura and I am bilingual (English/Spanish). I moved to Arizona in the beginning of 2022 from New Jersey. It has been bittersweet to redefine myself in a new state. One thing I absolutely refused to leave behind is my love for photography. I moved here with my husband for a change of speed. It has been such a beautiful change! Just like you, I too am in love with the views Arizona has to offer. I am a nontraditional wedding photographer, I am there for all the feels that come with your big day. The tears, the smiles, the laughs, the dancing... Moody, warm and candid photography. Photos to make you relive the moments later

Let me state the basics: Laura is (very) talented, outgoing, and genuine. She went out of her way to capture our most important moments, which for us were family pictures. She found unique areas in the venue for our couples only photos, which came out fantastic. She read our "vibes" for the wedding and delivered exactly what we were looking for. Most importantly, she helped us to relax and gave us important queues during the process. Even beyond that, she helped to reign in our videographer, who was a bit pushy and a complete stranger to her. Our photos were delivered incredibly quick following the wedding, and she was able to help regarding a photo of my father that needed changes. I cannot recommend her enough. Do you want to feel like your best friend is shooting your photography? Do you want it to be stress free? Yes? Do you want easy communication over text? (For me this was a choice, and I preferred that to the countless email threads with other vendors). Do you want the perfect blend of creativity and formality? Choose Laura. I'm from North Jersey and initially I had slight concerns about Laura being split between AZ and the NYC metro area. It never mattered (if I didn't know she wasn't here full time beforehand, I wouldn't have been able to tell). We will use her for any & every event going forward. She also included a free engagement shoot when we booking her for the wedding, which was an added bonus. Make this the easiest decision of you wedding planning.

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

Jenna was so helpful! We had a very small wedding in June and then a larger party in September. Jenna split up her package in a flexible way so that she photographed both. She put us completely at ease, was great with a crowd, and loved our dog, Cody! The preview was ready incredibly quickly (I think within three days) and the whole batch of photos came out beautifully. I hope to never have another wedding, but if I did, I would hire Jenna again!

Choosing Alissa to be our wedding photographer was easily one of the absolute BEST decisions we have made! She is an amazing photographer and truly cares about every couple she works with. From the very beginning, it was a breeze to work with her. Alissa does so much more than taking amazing pictures; she is always there to answer any questions you have, she puts a timeline together for the wedding day to help things run smoothly, and she is such a calming and fun person to be around! Her pictures and video are absolutely breathtaking. She makes everything feel so natural and the essence of us as a couple really shows through the photos. Alissa made the wedding day so much fun and I couldn't imagine the day without her by our side. Book her NOW, you will not regret it!

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

We used Carlsbad Photo for our wedding and our photographer Irina was phenomenal. Neither my husband nor I were very comfortable with having our pictures taken and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed for both our engagement and wedding. She took so many beautiful candid photographs and gave direction to make our pictures look both beautiful and natural. She was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her.I chose Carlsbad Photo before I even picked my dress! When you meet people with a good heart who are loving life, everything around them is that much better. Why would you not want someone like that shooting your special day when you are surrounded by everyone you love? Her energy enhances everything and she will make you laugh so much! She will help you with questions beyond photos for your big day - she has a lot of experience and literally knows everything about weddings! She was pretty much our coordinator. She instructed us when to stop and kiss after we headed out of the isle, how to cut the cake, and even how to toss my bouquet to get the most beautiful pictures!!!And to me, the best part of booking Irina is that you will have someone on your special day who truly is the TEAM BRIDE!

I can’t stop showing people my photos and my family can’t stop asking me for more!

When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and crime documentaries.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew that I wanted to hire Justina as soon as I saw her work— I loved her editorial style, her vibrant photos, and the fact that she offered a 2 photographer 1 videographer package (her brother Anthony is the videographer, and they make for a real dream team!!). We contacted her in January for a June wedding. We had about 3-4 calls before the wedding, where she made sure to fully understand my partner and I’s preferences and styles when it came to photography, posing, etc. We also did an engagement session with Justina (which was complementary at the time, and I HIGHLY recommend doing it before the wedding), and that allowed us to get familiar with her shooting style. I feel like we became friends very quickly. On the wedding day, Justina and her team arrived early and adapted quickly when we had a sudden change of plans due to weather. She also adapted quickly when the original 2nd shooter got sick right before our wedding, and found a replacement photographer right away. Our wedding party and I had so much fun shooting with her team: she was efficient while being thorough with the shots we wanted to get. Anthony, the videographer, also had creative ideas and suggested several unique “shots” to capture for the wedding video. Their team integrated so seamlessly into the wedding that I honestly barely noticed them running around and capturing moments. They were both professional and down-to earth; I felt like they even added to the joy and fun vibes our our intimate, 85-person wedding. I got the preview wedding album from Justina exactly a week after the wedding as promised, and Anthony sent the short video reel a month after (also as promised). We’re having so much fun going through the photos—they truly turned out better than I expected, and if there were any changes or tweaks that we wanted to either photo or video, both Justina and Anthony are super responsive and reasonably quick to change them for us! Justina and Anthony are an up-and-coming team, and I could not recommend them more! You should definitely book them before they’re booked out for the rest of the season :)

Hey babes, I'm Khali! I'm a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon capturing ALLLLL the love! I love candid, raw and authentic moments. My photography shouldn't feel posed or unnatural. It should be all about documenting you for who you really are; whatever your love language may be. I will always do everything I can to make sure your day is spectacular. Transparency is super important to me, so if you have any questions - just ask!

I have been a wedding planner in the Portland area since 2016 and work with one of the largest and oldest wedding planning groups in the PNW, Your Perfect Bridesmaid. I’ve have the pleasure of working with many photographers in the last few years, some stand out but none like Khali. She and I were lucky enough to work a very beautiful, unique, but challenging, wedding this fall and she more than delivered for the client while supporting me and my team. Her communication, professionalism, relationships with vendors and clients is unparalleled.

Salvatore was wonderful! He was very kind and professional. Before the wedding, he took the time to speak with us about our vision for the day and the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he spent pretty much the entire day with us, and was even able to split his time between our ceremony and our reception. We got his photos right on time, and they were truly lovely, with a nice mix of posed and candid photographs, and beautiful lighting and focus throughout. Salvatore did everything we could have expected him to and more, and we are very glad that we went with Milieu for our wedding!

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

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!

We hadn’t picked a date or location and she helped us decide on all of that in a very short amount of time. The day of our elopement was very cold, rainy and windy but she made sure we had the best time and made the most of it. I swear you can’t even tell in the photos how horrible the weather was and I can’t even begin to explain how beautiful every photo is. We had the best day ever all thanks to Jaime.

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

Josie and Alex are geniuses and really were the best choice we made in our wedding planning. They were extremely proactive and very responsive. The photos are absolutely stunning. I want to hang every single one!! We love this dynamic amazing duo. Thank you for everything!

WOW!! That's what first comes to mind when we think about what it was like to work with Kylee. Also, we should note here that this review is going to be long because we love her and loved working with her so much. When we were exploring photographers, it was really important to us that not only was it important to have beautiful photos, but also that we'd be able to work with someone who we'd want to hang out with and even someone we'd be happy to invite to our wedding. Before even meeting with Kylee, we loved how clear it was (via her website) that she has a killer personality, and also that she puts her couples' personalities in the spotlight. When we had our initial consult with her, the first half was really just chatting about little nuggets we'd put in the inquiry questionnare - aka, learning we shared a massive love of board games with Kylee, and also that we 100% want to be friends with her in the real world. Her follow up email wasn't even just a "hey, will you be booking me?" - in fact, it had nothing to do with that, but rather her asking for board game suggestions for an upcoming trip. Beyond shared interests, Kylee made us feel super informed about her process, and we got some really great wedding planning tips from her. We also wanted to make sure we worked with people who we felt comfortable asking questions to, as people who tend to feel a little worried about potential confrontation. When we had a question about how some of our wedding color choices might resonate in Kylee's aesthetic, she was not only extremely compassionate in her answer, but also was SUPER informative in a way that was fully digestible by non-photography experts. It was actually this specific exchange that made us book her. Kylee is probably one of the most unique vendors we partnered with because she truly builds a community - she hosted an open house to connect couples both past and present, and is open about how much of a human she is in a way that really resonates. Kylee is game for everything. We love to bike ride and wanted to include our bikes in our engagement shoot, and Kylee was immediately game for it. When we told her we have a signature pose that is...not romatic, Kylee was totally game. In fact, she remembered this on the wedding day and incorporated it into our shotlist at various points without us having talked about it. But let's talk about the wedding day. Kylee and her second photography (Tiffany!!!) had to travel a number of hours for our wedding, which we're sure was not fun, and if that was the case, Kylee didn't let it show at all. She was really such a joy to be around. She commanded peoples' attention when she needed to, and also easily blended herself in to fully capture candids easily. We got so many compliments from our family and wedding party about how awesome Kylee was. Something we really loved when we'd first met with Kylee was learning that her favorite part of a wedding is the dancing (because that's our part too), and we took some specific joy in getting to break it down with her at our wedding. Kylee's photography is second-to-none and insanely beautiful, but really she's one of the greatest people we've met throughout the wedding journey. She's professional, she's thorough, she's really freaking fun, and we're so lucky we got to spend an entire day with her. You really won't regret with working with her!!

CONGRATULATIONS! You just got engaged! :o I'm a firm believer in weddings being a blast, so I do what I can to make sure that your time spent with me is fun, active, natural, and feels like YOU! I'm also a firm believer in doing my part in making your wedding planning simpler for you, because let's face it wedding planning can be a bit overwhelming especially in the beginning. Also, weddings are stupid expensive and the moment you add the word "wedding" to anything the price jumps like 5x which is NOT COOL, and doesn't set couples up for success. So I try to keep my prices low. If you need help paying let me know!

Lindsey took photos of my boyfriend and I, and I was so nervous going into it because its definitely out of the box for both of us to be in front of the camera. She made us feel so relaxed right away, and we had so much fun! We're already thinking about doing another photo session as a date night, because we absolutely love how the photos came out (and we loved hanging out with Lindsey too). Couples - Lindsey is the girl you want to hire if you want to make your photo session, elopement, or wedding super fun and memorable. And brides - trust me when I say this, if you want a photographer who is going to document your love story, capture allll the behind the scenes excitement, and show the real, authentic smiles on your face, hire Lindsey!!!!

I’m McKenzie, a photographer who embraces my couples who desire physical visual memories of their connection at any level, so you can have the stages of your relationship captured to look back on and remember all of the little things that feel so big; the way they brush your hair out of your face or beam at how beautiful you are, or even the smallest thing like a hand on your thigh. All of these things help you feel exactly how you felt in that moment. If you are here, you are the brave and courageous people who are willing to step in front of my camera and be honestly you, and who desire a photo gallery that makes you feel something.

Kenzie is such a natural at photography! She immediately shows her personality which is amazing & made us feel so comfortable! She also is such a versatile photographer that we can use for our family pictures, baby pictures and everything in between! Highly recommended KNZ!!

Hiya! I'm Tess, an Austin-based photographer with 10+ years of experience telling the stories of my community through photography. I love weddings of all sizes, from adventurous elopements to grand celebrations. My photojournalism background influences my documentarian style, which captures the natural joy and energy of weddings without forced poses. I help my couples feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera just as they are.

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is so long overdue, and I hope it brings home just how much I value Tess' work, and how talented of a documentarian I think she is. Since college, I've vowed to never book a friend for photos unless I really loved their work, because I often found myself disappointment when I should have invested in a professional instead of doing a friend a favor. Though Tess is a dear friend from school, she is absolutely no exception. I would have never been so excited to hire her if her photography work wasn't exactly what my husband and I wanted for our wedding day. Our ceremony was small and intimate, but Tess' work made it feel no less important because the guest size or venue. I'm a fat woman of color, and I'm often self-conscious of how other people, even friends, photograph me and the effort they lack in taking even casual pictures of myself or of me with my husband. However, Tess captured exactly how I felt that day. Not because of any editing, but because she captured our beauty and love for each other exactly as we are. Though Tess did put in so much time and effort into knowing me and my husband as a couple, it doesn't matter how intimately you know your subject — without talent, without having an eye for precious moments and framing and being able to anticipate a shoot's big moments, there's no way you can do what someone like Tess does. We planned our ceremony and reception ourselves — no planner, no coordinator — and Tess' experience helped immensely in planning exactly what we needed and wanted for photos. Despite being a friend, she treated us like any other pair of clients, with extreme professionalism and care, and even went above her scope of work for shooting during the reception and returning our gallery. I'm so happy to see her thrive in her calling, and am honored to have experienced her talents. Tess is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I know we'll be booking her to document important life milestones in the future.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

However what sets a great vendor apart from and incredible vendor is two things. Comfortability and Personality! She makes it so easy to be photographed and she's confident at it.

Lauren was so on top of things when it came to the actual shoot! She came prepared with anything we may need - safety pins, bobby pins, a blanket to set on so my dress wouldn't get dirty, and even feminine products!! She already had poses in mind for us to do and knew what would look good and what wouldn't, but she also encouraged us to be ourselves and caught the most beautiful candid moments. She took into consideration that we wanted pictures up close of us as well as further out to capture the beauty of our surroundings. She made us feel comfortable and there was never an awkward moment. She is so sweet, thoughtful and talented!! The pictures turned out SO so great and I'm more than happy with the results. I would 10/10 recommend Lauren to anyone as their wedding photographer as well as a photographer for other occasions! She is by far the BEST!!

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

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

We would 1000% percent recommend Katelyn! Choosing a wedding photographer felt daunting, especially since we wanted our day to reflect our unique story—simple, real, and close to nature. The thought of posing for pictures made us both nervous, but Katelyn has a calming presence. We wanted our photos to be genuine, mostly not staged, and Katelyn was the perfect fit. She didn't just take pictures; she captured our essence. And she was so patient, and dedicated, both during the wedding planning and during the day of (in addition to a very nice engagement photo-shoot!). From the get-go, Katelyn was all in. She spent time getting to know us, understanding that we were a bit camera-shy, and scouting out locations to get the best shots. She suggested poses that didn't feel like poses at all—they were just us, being us, with a little guidance. On the day of our wedding, Katelyn navigated our outdoor setting with professionalism. She blended into the background, all while snapping away and capturing our moments—moments we were too caught up in the day to see. Seeing our photos for the first time, we were blown away. They weren't just beautiful, they were authentically us. Katelyn took our quirky traits and tender looks and turned them into art, and captured a great party in amazing detail. There were a few unplanned moments during the party (the Horah, etc), that happened in a blink of an eye, and Katelyn managed to capture them perfectly! For couples looking for a photographer who will understand you and bring out the natural joy in your day, Katelyn is the one!

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

I’m a photographer, a mom, a wife, a snowboarder, a surfer, a roller coaster enthusiast, a college instructor, and a former mechanical engineer. I recently earned my Ph.D. in Education (but you don’t have to call me Dr.)! I have an extremely short attention span, am addicted to wearing beanies, and am fueled by chai tea. I'm socially awkward most of the time I'm in public, and I make weird faces when I concentrate to take photos. I dress for comfort and for rolling around on the ground, standing in creeks, and climbing into trees to capture the best angles for my photographs — but I do clean up reasonably well on wedding days!

Awarded Best of Zola
We used her for our engagement shoot & wedding photos. We didn’t realize that you should choose your wedding photography *style* before you reach out to potential photographers. If you go the other route—book first, learn about the style later—you may end up with photos that don’t match your vision. We came to Carrie after our first photographer disappointed us. She has more of a documentary style with less of an emphasis on the awkwardly posed photos. However, she will still go the extra effort to get an amazing poses shot if you ask. She has such a laid back and positive attitude. I recommend Carrie to anyone looking for beautiful images and a wedding day that doesn’t feel like a photoshoot. She’s a true professional.

She positioned us to get the best pictures, directed us when we didn't know what to do, suggested locations for pictures, and was a joy to work with. The pictures included black and white, color, and live pictures. We just had our favorites blown up and framed.

Rachael shot our elopement in summer of 2021 and nailed our vision. We wanted a nice mix of traditional wedding photography for family and some more editorial/fashion inspired images for us to create a gallery wall in our future home. Rachael was super easy to communicate with and delivered our edited images very quickly in a fun online gallery. I would recommend her to anyone for weddings big or small, engagements, and bridal showers!

Wayne was INCREDIBLE!! He's been to our property (Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor) for a handful of weddings this season and each time I'm relieved to see him. His experience and creativity is unique, playful and beautiful. Our couples are always so pleased with the photos and overall the experience of their big day when it comes to LoveDays. One wedding in particular (Ferrari Benotti Wedding) had incredible photos from downtown Boston. Many of those photos were highlighted in the @Onlybos Instagram and we had couples request Wayne's information from it. Incredible photos and great experience, 10/10 recommend.

We absolutely ADORED working with Julius. He was fun and silly, just enough to make you open up and give a real laugh, which he would then capture in stunning detail. We were so fortunate to work with Julius both before our wedding for an engagement shoot and during our wedding as our sole photographer. He is a consummate professional and delights in dramatic images that make you feel as though you’re in a fairytale. I wish I had another major life event coming up just to take more photos. Thank you for everything Julius!!!

SUGAR RUSH ! WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT 2 PEOPLE WHO CAPTURED ME AND MY HUSBANDS SPECIAL DAY SO PERFECTLY? I MET LYNDI WHEN SHE SHOT ME AND MY SISTERS SENIOR PICTURES . I LOVED THE IMAGES SO MUCH I KNEW WHO I WANTED TO SHOOT MY WEDDING ! 2 YEARS LATER I WAS ENGAGED AND ME AND JORD TALKED WITH ROB AND LYNDI AT A FAMILY MEMBERS WEDDING THEY WERE SHOOTING . WE KNEW AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH THEM THEY WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR US . IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO VIBE WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER / VIDEOGRAPHER SO YOU CAN REALLY EXPLAIN WHAT YOU WANT AND THEY CAN READ YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND PUT THAT FEELING INTO THE FINISHED PRODUCT. I FELL IN LOVE WITH ROBS WORK WHEN I SAW THE FIRST LOOK VIDEO HE HAD DONE FOR THIS FAMILY WEDDING . A FEW WEEKS LATER ME AND JORD DECIDED ‘ HEY LET’S GET MARRIED IN HAWAII CAUSE WHY NOT?! ‘ ….AND LET’S HAVE ROB AND LYNDI COME WITH US ! LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY! FROM OUR ENGAGEMENTS AND LOVE STORY VIDEO TO THE FIRST LOOK AND RECEPTION ,WE ARE IN LOVE WITH THE WAY OUR LOVE WAS CAPTURED. WE WANTED TO USE THE SAME PHOTO/VIDEO PEOPLE THROUGHOUT OUR EXPERIENCE TO ENSURE THE COVERAGE FLOWED NICELY TOGETHER . WE ALSO WANTED TO DO OUR DESTINATION WEDDING WITH PEOPLE WE TRUSTED . WE FLEW PEOPLE OUT WHO WE HAD A CONNECTION WITH, RATHER THAN FIND SOMEONE NEW ON THE ISLAND, AND WE ARE SO HAPPY WE DID IT THAT WAY! ROB AND LYNDI WERE INCREDIBLE TO WORK WITH THEY ARE SO TALENTED BUT ALSO SO FUN TO BE AROUND. THEY MAKE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED AND RECORDED A BETTER EXPERIENCE . I THINK THE BEST PART ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE WITH SUGAR RUSH IS HOW THEY PERFECTLY CAPTURED ME AND MY HUSBANDS RELATIONSHIP AND THE FEELING OF OUR WEDDING DAY. THEY TRULY GOT THE ESSENCE OF WHO WE ARE AND THAT MEANS SO MUCH ! ONE LAST THING . YOU WILL NEVER REGRET GETTING A WEDDING VIDEO DONE . EVER ! A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT VIDEO IS AND HOW MUCH YOU WILL WANT ONE AFTER THE DAY IS OVER . TO ME MY WEDDING VIDEO IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS MY PHOTOS . I GET TO RELIVE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE ANYTIME I WANT AND I CRY EVERY TIME I WATCH IT. PHOTO CAPTURES THE INDIVIDUAL MOMENTS AND VIDEO CAPTURES THE ENTIRE DAY. THEY ARE BOTH ESSENTIAL AND ROB AND LYNDI WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! WE LOVE SUGAR RUSH AND EVERYTHING THEY DO ! THANK YOU ROB AND LYNDI! LOVE, YOUR HAWAII COUPLE JOJO & LOLO

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

I’ve worked alongside Anj and let me tell you she is so detailed in her work, posing instructions, capturing the details and just making your wedding day special. You can be relaxed and enjoy your day knowing Anj has got it under control. Highly recommended!

I was so happy to get to meet her and her husband, Wayne, on our wedding day. She was the best hypewoman and made me feel beautiful and confident in all our pictures! It also felt so natural posing for pictures with her guidance. She and Wayne were such a dream team. I also hired Snap Pic Photo Booth (owned by them as well) and we loved our backdrop and the props and the print template design! ALSO, she literally turned around some edits so fast. Literally lunchtime the day after our wedding, she had already posted a handful of edited photos from our wedding to her Instagram. How amazing is she!!!

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

We hired Grace in Chaos Photography to take our engagement and wedding photos. To say we were happy with what we received would be an understatement! Anya was absolutely amazing and her talent behind the camera was more than we could ask for. We highly recommend Grace in Chaos Photography to help capture all the beautiful memories of your special day!

Soon after Juan and Emily got married in 2018 Juan began his photography career as a light technician in LA. Juan studied journalism for his undergrad, and this is when he was gifted his first camera and his interest in photography was sparked. Emily's childhood dream was to be a photographer, and after working for years as an ICU nurse she is able to do just that alongside Juan. We are energized by the creativity that photography brings, and the light and joy we experience from meeting couples.

So incredibly impressed with Juan. He was calm and composed from the very first moment. He knew exactly what to do and for an overstimulated bride, it was exactly what I needed. The pictures came out absolutely beautiful and not just your generic everyday photos…they tell a beautiful story.

The pictures we have are amazing and we are so thankful that we have them to share with our friends and family who we didn’t invite (haha). Natalie was a joy to work with; a true professional. She gave us so much guidance leading up to our ceremony. She is a great resource as we came from NY and did not know much about New Orleans. We cannot thank her enough!

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

Choosing Marla as my wedding photographer was the best decision. She is amazing at what she does, responded to us quickly and provided the most amazing pictures I will cherish forever. She helped us have a smooth wedding day and made sure we both felt our best on our special day.

My images are a blend of formal photographic training and a passion for telling stories with pictures. I specialize in capturing natural, candid moments. I approach wedding photography as a documentarian with a deep love of family and a great respect for ritual.

I cannot recommend Carey enough. We were supposed to get married a month after the pandemic hit and changed our wedding date 4 times as a result. Carey was so understanding, patient, and such a pleasure to work with throughout the stressful process (of what spanned to almost 2 years). Moreover, I appreciate Carey's easy going nature which makes everything much more comfortable and effortless (in front of the camera as well). We received countless compliments on how amazing she is. And her photos--well they speak for itself. Carey did our engagement, elopement, and wedding shoot and I love every single photo she takes. I cannot recommend Carey enough!
