Randall de Leon Photography

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Randall and his team are true professionals. He caught such wonderful memories. I was happy I didn’t have to give any directions. He directed such a great vision. I would highly highly recommend Randal and team. I will definitely use him for my daughters quincenera.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t be happier working with Khariza! She took our engagement photos and also served as our wedding photographer this past year. We had never done a professional photoshoot before as a couple and were a bit nervous about how the engagement photoshoot would go, but Khariza was so helpful and friendly as she walked us through different poses and locations. She played some of our favorite songs during the engagement photoshoot, helping us to ease into the shoot and have fun. During our wedding day, as part of the ten-hour package, Khariza and her second shooter Muirgheal spent time with us covering all aspects of the wedding day, from hanging out with the guests, capturing the venue, taking beautiful couple pictures and every combination of family photos imaginable, to the ceremony, dinner, and dance party afterward. Khariza was so positive and encouraging the whole time, and we really appreciated her energy and patience throughout the entire day. We received so many beautiful photos after our engagement photoshoot, as well as some wonderful teaser photos from the wedding as the rest of the photos were being worked on. We were astounded by the quality of the photos after we received them earlier than the estimated deadline. We deeply appreciate Khariza’s editing style - the colors are vividly true to life and we’re so grateful we have these memories to look back on, particularly all of the other moments during the wedding that we were not able to be present for We absolutely want to work with Khariza again and highly recommend them!

Carmelisse Photography

Long Beach, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,550

Hi I'm Carmelisse. I'm an intimate wedding & elopement photographer based in Los Angeles. I have a gift for making people comfortable and seeing the beauty in all diverse people. I want nothing more than to tell your love story right.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wedding Veterans will tell you that your photographer really sets the tone of your wedding. They are much more than just the person that takes pictures. They take the time to understand who you are as a couple and the story you want to tell and really how you'll look back on your wedding day for years to come. Carmelisse was that and more for us. From the moment we saw her photos from mutuals' weddings we knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding. In our first meeting, it felt like talking to a long-time friend and it was an easy decision for us to put all our trust in her and her team. She was the first person we hired after our wedding planner. We actually contacted her the month after we got engaged in 2021 but her 2023 book wasn't open yet. After conversing via text and email for months, we met her for the first time during our engagement shoot and she captured us and our dogs perfectly (YES, she capture our anxiety-ridden GSD mixes with smiles and they stood still, and the doggos absolutely fell in love with her husband, THANKS REX!!) She helped us pick the area and with putting together comfortable poses. Her turnaround time was so reasonable, the photos are just plain awesome. I have a hard time putting into words how great they are but I literally tear up with happiness every time I look through my album (which I still do ALOT). For the wedding day, Carmelisse and John kept us hyped and on schedule. A lot of things happen on the wedding day and Carmelisse was already ready to help us adjust and adapt. She captured all of our memories so beautifully. I can't stop singing her praises for her work and her as a person. She truly cares and it is seen through her work and her actions on the wedding day. AND Carmelisse is so stinking great - I went through a health scare the morning of my engagement shoot, I was trying to power through because I was afraid of canceling late but all Carmelisse cared about was that I was ok and she immediately rescheduled without additional thought. Carmelisse will be our forever photographer and we want her to shoot all of our future milestones. After our wedding, so many of our friends and family have already added her on Instagram for the future when she can shoot their wedding or life event.

I’m Mysi (pronounced, boringly, “Missy”)! I’ve been at this thing for 12 years and I keep falling more and more in love with it all. Give me intimate micro-weddings, quirky dive bar weddings, raucous South Asian weddings... my team and I absolutely thrive in chaos and emotion. My specialty is catching the moments and those tiny moments in between. ✨✨✨

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the most important parts of any special event (from weddings to fundraisers) is making sure you capture the spirit of the event. Mysi has photographed our annual Story Soirée multiple times and every time her photos have left me grinning from ear to ear. They are just so so so good! Not only are the action shots of our tellers (we are a storytelling nonprofit) wonderful, but the photos of folks reacting to our stories are my favorite. She is exceptionally skilled at capturing a range of emotions in a single photo and we have then used these photos in every marketing material imaginable. Mysi also photographed my wedding at City Hall! She got so many wonderful photos of our families crammed into the small courtroom and somehow made even the drab beige walls feel magical. It is also important for me to note that Mysi herself is an absolute dream to work with. She is communicative, punctual, and an utter delight. I sincerely cannot recommend her highly enough.

Gemini Sun Creative

San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800

Gemini Sun Creative is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer serving Northern California, NYC, Upstate NY & Philadelphia. Owner, Daniela Monzi, specializes in elopement and intimate wedding photography. With each couple she works with, she strives to show off the unique traits of their love story in every photo. Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dani, the amazing photographer-artist behind Gemini Sun Creative, is EVERYTHING you want and need in a wedding photographer. Starting from when we first sent her an inquiry, her way of communicating to us is very personal. Of all the photographers we contacted, she’s the only one who followed us on instagram and introduced herself. This simple gesture made us feel special—it makes you aware that there’s a real person behind this IG handle who genuinely wants to connect, get to know you and offer help. I moved to New York City (from the Philippines) two weeks before our wedding. A day after I arrived, my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Dani and her husband at a Cuban dancing bar. We shared stories and belly-laughs. She’s easy to get along with, her vibe makes you feel safe and comfortable to be yourself. When we told her we want our photoshoot in Brooklyn Bridge Park because we saw it in the movie Past Lives, she eagerly watched it for us, “so I can nail it”, she said. The day of our wedding came and there was a heavy downpour in New York City (this was a day before the flood). Dani was so sweet to get us umbrellas prior meeting up. The rain, which one might think of as an inconvenience on a wedding day, actually turned out to be a blessing. Because of it, there were only few people in the park; it also left some puddles you can see light reflections from, which Dani keenly noticed and took advantage of. She has the eye for great photo composition that makes the subject really stand out. At the start of the photoshoot, she gave us a few pointers and shared tips. And because she took the time to get to know us and our love story, she reminded us about how special that day really is—how we braved LDR together for more than 2 years; that now we’re finally living in the same city, married, and starting a new life together. That sweet reminder made us feel grounded, it helped ease us up to just savor the moment. We were still riding our wedding high when we received her email with our entire gallery attached. We weren’t expecting our photos to be available so fast! In only 90 mins of shooting, we got 200 professionally edited and graded photos we can treasure for a lifetime. They turned out exactly how we dreamed of—beautifully captured, dreamy, indie film vibe. She really nailed it! Whenever I look back on our wedding day, I remember feeling grounded, calm and in love. Then I would look at the pictures and see those same feelings. The movie Past Lives introduced to us the concept of “in-yun”—it’s a Korean word for fate that connects people. My husband and I strongly believe that meeting Dani and having her do our elopement photoshoot is in-yun. I know words fall short when expressing your thoughts and feelings. Believe me when I say, if Dani is your wedding photographer, you can focus all your energy on just enjoying your special day, as you should. She will make sure you have all of your fond memories immortalized on photographs.

For me, the best part about being a photographer is getting to witness my client’s once in a lifetime memories being created and knowing that my work will allow future generations to experience those memories as well.

My partner and I decided this was our year to elope.... and we were in search of a photographer to capture the ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. I looked on instagram geo tag of SF City Hall and saw really cute photos of other couples getting married. When I clicked into them, the majority of the ones I liked were taken by Joyce. I had my partner reach out to Joyce and she quickly responded and provided us very detailed information about the services she offers. We told her we wanted to proceed and she did a quick meet and greet over the phone to get to know more about us and our story. It was a very sweet and personable touch that I really appreciated. During the photoshoot, my partner and I were coached by Joyce on how to pose and where to stand. She even pays attention to the little details of hand and foot placement as well as gestures. She's very sweet and creative. We really appreciated her guidance since my partner and I are not comfortable having photos taken. Joyce had brought her partner Olivia to help her take photos. She was also very sweet and helpful. She went out of her way to help us hold our belongings as well as guide us during our photoshoot at our second location at Sutro Baths. Both Joyce and Olivia were kind enough to squeeze in photos of our immediate families as well without additional fees. She even made cute gifs of our kids circling us while we spun and kissed. The photos came out amazing and are very playful and cutesy. I am very glad we went worked with Joyce for our Elopement. I highly recommend her to document any of your special events. FYI: She offers really nice packages to fit your special days needs as well as guided dates which would be cute for a photo session on vacation.

Anna is AH-MAZING. I found her on a Facebook thread for photographers, and what really appealed to me was her editing style, as well as her candid plandids. Throughout the planning and meet-ups, Anna made this process simple and straightforward. I really appreciated that. I loooove polaroid photos, and I asked Anna if we could do that, too. We did and now I have many wonderful polaroids to look back at. We had a simple wedding day, with a photography session at SF Botanical Garden, followed by getting hitched at SF City Hall. My spouse and I did have a hiccup in the beginning, because we’re not familiar with SF, but Anna was super patient and chill about it. Her calm demeanor helped me calm my nerves (I really appreciated that, too). My spouse and I have never had experiences with getting our photos taken, and Anna made our first experience wonderful. She provided prompts that were wholesome and sweet, and took photos of us doing so. Seeing our photos was a surprise, because I never imagined us looking this awesome. Thank you so much Anna 3

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

Amanda was so great to work with. Her images were stunning!! But she was also communicative and helpful. She made the big day run even smoother and the couple was soo happy with their pictures.

She is so much fun to be around and that only created better photos.

Words can’t express how important it was for us to capture our favorite day and our love and Amber did that and more.

Her attention to detail and passion for capturing the perfect shot truly sets her apart. From the beginning, Ashley was a pleasure to work with, making communication effortless and stress-free. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and her creativity and expertise shone through in every frame. She took the time to learn the names of our wedding party and immediate family. It really made them feel important as well as showed her commitment to us having an easy stress-free day! Ashley's ability to capture candid moments is truly remarkable. She has a keen eye for those special, unplanned moments that truly reflect the emotions and atmosphere of our wedding day. Looking through the photos, we were transported back to those heartfelt, joyous moments, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We also had the pleasure of having Ashely do our engagement and welcome party pictures. The smiles, excitement and love were all perfectly captured in pictures we will have forever. Not only did Ashley deliver outstanding candid shots, but her overall quality of work was exceptional. The composition, lighting, and attention to detail in every photograph were simply stunning. The reason for that is due to her incredible work ethic. She was a huge part of our timeline planning to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted from our shot wish list. After shooting a long wedding day, she was able to provide sneak peaks the day after our wedding for us to reminisce the day after! The happy tears remembering how amazing our wedding day was. We can’t say enough about how talented she is! Working with Ashley was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She was professional, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable in front of the camera.

Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

Loren was such a joy to work with as our wedding photographer. We had a range of people we were working with from caterers, wedding coordinator, etc. and she by far had the best communication and quickly aligned with what we were looking for in a photographer. She captured our day in such a beautiful and effortless way - she was present in all the special moments but we never noticed she was around. She seamlessly blended into the party and was quick to capture moments that we will remember forever. We can’t wait for another opportunity to work with Loren and highly recommend her if you are looking for a trusted and talented photographer to capture your special day. The only regret we have is not having her come to our Welcome party the day before our wedding.

I was really nervous about making this choice due to the lack of time and fear of not getting exactly what I wanted which was clear pictures with lots of natural light and little to no filters. I am very happy we booked Cassie; we definitely made the right choice. Cassie was very communicative, friendly, and helpful from the beginning. She was always available to answer our questions and even meet with us via video call. She was also very accommodating to our availability and wishes.

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

I am so obsessed with Abby's work ethic, her kindness, and how absolutely beautiful her shots are! Her pricing is so fair for the dedication and detail she puts into her work and she is expert-level communicative. I was nervous because my husband and I had never had professional photos taken of ourselves when we had started this whole process. We chose to get our engagement photos done as an add-on to our wedding package and it was such a great introduction to Abby and her photography style. It made us feel so comfortable meeting her before our big day and she assured us we looked great. On the day of the wedding, she listened closely to every detail shot I wanted and made sure we had important pictures of family included. She also made sure my husband and I had some time alone to get the most romantic shots on location of our small beachy wedding. I have never loved photos so much in my entire life. I'm itching to hang them up on our walls already! I would recommend her a thousand times over if I could

I set my mind and soul to this craft about 5 years ago and my heart just grew with every couple I met and every story I learned and told through my favorite medium of photography. It is the absolute best feeling being able to photograph the genuine love and happiness a couple expels through their wedding day. Nothing can beat the emotions and the charm of that. It's an honor to be able to translate those emotions onto images so people can look back through them and get back those feelings years and decades later.

I was so relieved to find Fatima when looking into a photographer for our wedding. Her artistry had the perfect blend of authenticity, love, and drama. When it came to our wedding day and photos, it was everything we expected and more. We did not need or want an engagement shoot as we were coming from out of town and had already done one. Fatima was really easy to work with and we planned to have her at our rehearsal dinner instead, which was a great choice. All of our photos turned out beautifully, and we are so happy she captured so many moments we didn’t even realize she was there for! There were a few guests that I didn’t get to see much that I was hoping we would have photos of, and we did! I was also incredibly impressed by the turnaround time. We received our rehearsal dinner photos within weeks, sneak peak photos within a few days, and the full wedding gallery within a month! I’ve heard too many horror stories of other photographers taking ages. Fatima communicates with you and when she sets a deadline she means it! I would highly recommend Fatima for any photography needs. I hope we’ll be in CA to hire her for our next set of photos!

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

I don't know how else to say this, but my husband and I are THE most awkward people when it comes to photos. We forget how to smile, we never know where to look, and we don't know what to do with our hands... or faces. We had a different photographer for our engagement photos and I didn't like the way 99% of them came out. We looked uncomfortable and awkward. I emailed Cassy about how uncomfortable we are in front of a camera and she called me to reassure me that she would be able to give us direction and make sure all the photos turned out great. We had a tiny micro wedding on the beach during covid with just our immediate family. I hired a picnic company to set up a tiny ceremony and hors d'oeuvres. Cassy captured all the details of the set up beautifully. My in-laws wanted a coffee table book of our wedding photos, and it was so hard to pick just a few. We got so many incredible photos! Our couples shots look like something in a magazine. She made it so fun, we never felt weird or uncomfortable. Cassy had these little tips and tricks and she'd get genuine laughter and smiles out of us. There were no forced smiles or awkward faces. When I look at my photos, it brings back all the memories of laughter and joy on our special day. I'm so grateful we found her! All our photos are light, airy, and perfect. Thank you so much, Cassy!

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!

Traveling has taught me the importance of capturing all the important - big and small - moments to look back on years later. I love capturing those truly candid moments. The kind of photos that put you right back in the moment five, ten, fifty years later. I'm a Southern California-based photographer that will travel wherever you want to document your love! I'm constantly exploring in my hiking boots with laid-back couples that want to capture genuine moments about their relationship. When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my people, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

I recently was able to work with Emily at a wedding in Winston Salem North Carolina, and she was an absolute loot breeze to work with. She was extremely punctual, kept other vendors, informed of what she was up to, and checked on her tools, nice and tidy.

As a wedding photographer, I absolutely LOVE capturing the beautiful, genuine, and sometimes downright hilarious moments that happen on a couple's special day.

I'm not just a photographer, I'm a professional love-story-teller!

When my husband and I first got engaged, we knew we wanted to take engagement photos in Mammoth Lakes, CA. I had actually reached out to a different photographer, but she was unavailable the dates we were looking for and referred us to Diana. Luckily, she happened to be available and in the area at the exact time we were going to be there. It really was meant to be! We were nervous, we’re not the type of people who are used to posing in front of a camera, but she made us feel comfortable and captured the most beautiful, genuine photos. We had such a good experience that we later booked her, and her husband Isiah as our officiant, for our wedding in Laguna Beach, CA. They were extremely professional and made the whole process seamless. Diana captured the most amazing candid moments/details and Isiah was the perfect officiant, he even took care of all the license/certificate paperwork after the ceremony for us. We’re absolutely in love with the photos and we’re constantly getting print requests from family/friends. We definitely now have a go-to photographer for any other future events!

Memo was absolutely amazing throughout all of it, making the process extremely easy. He knows what he’s doing and has a HUGE talent. He will happily take any of your suggestions and ideas but at the end of the day, it’s best to trust the professional because he knows what will look good before you can even suggest it :) Upon seeing his finished photos from the engagement pics, we HAD to have him out to do our wedding. We flew him out to Alabama and he came to our rehearsal dinner as well as the entire day of the wedding. He followed us around as the night went on and took pictures of us with our guests.

These memories are far more precious than any staged photo, and these are the memories I want to capture for you on your big day.

Welcome to PKA Photography! We are a dynamic husband-wife duo, our journey began when our own wedding visuals left us unsatisfied in 2022. Instead of dwelling on discontent, we took charge, giving birth to PKA Photography in June 2022. In this short span, we've joyfully captured over 300 weddings and events, spanning from intimate elopements to heartwarming civil ceremonies. Each event embodies a unique tale, a celebration of love, and an opportunity to freeze magical moments in time. In every project, we step into your shoes, ensuring that your experience with us aligns with everything we'd desire for our own wedding.

PKA Photography were incredible for our wedding! We had a very last minute elopement, so we were honestly just hoping for basic services. But happy to say we got exceptional instead. Mia and LaRon helped us go through the ceremony timeline, what vibe we were looking for, and some simple directions that would improve photo quality (like going slow and enjoying the moment!!). Any special request we hit them with was well received and accommodated for. Communication was quick and transparent. The price was highly competitive compared to other photographers we talked to and we actually got even more services than expected in the end. And the end results were spectacular—they really captured the magic of the day. It was difficult to pick our 20 favorites to get retouched out of all the beautiful photos, and we particularly loved the video edit. The editing process took a few rounds to get what we were going for, but they were patient throughout the process and helped achieve our vision. The only minor "critique" I can think of was that it was sometimes hard to follow the photographers' direction on the day of, but it was at Sunset Cliffs on a loud windy day, so not on them at all. I would wholeheartedly recommend PKA be it wedding photos or otherwise

That helps us relive moments right away and also update our socials so our guests, friends, and family can continue feeling the buzz and momentum from our Wedding. 100% recommend!

I highly recommend Naian Photography. I work with photographers every weekend so I've seen many and Natalie is one of the best. They all have access to the same tools but its how each one of them utilizes those tools that makes the different plus she is just a fun & happy person! We've worked two or more weddings together and I've personally seen what she had to work with and what she produced, beautiful shots!

Perfectly Imperfect, for the madly in love. I'm David Scott Bowles—a creative soul who traded chef's knives for a camera lens, diving headfirst into the world of photography. For over ten years, I've been capturing not just pictures but tales—each click a chapter in a visual story. My style? It's a mashup of boldness and moody vibes, adding depth to every frame. My work's graced the pages of Shutter Magazine, Voyager Magazine, and even landed spots in the esteemed LA Times. From snazzy commercial shots to soul-stirring fine art and heartfelt wedding tales spun under Hayden and Harlo, my portfolio’s a colorful spectrum.

I have had the pleasure of watching the birth and growth off this incredible artisan. A true master of his craft who is constantly seeking to improve his skills and technique. His eye for the perfect shot is beyond anything my wife and I could've planned for or imagined. Whenever my wife and I look at what he captured, it's like reliving one of the most perfect days of our life all over again and we get to relive the emotions we both felt on that magical day.

We are excellent and experienced photographer and videographer for weddings and engagements. I have been a lifetime photography hobbyist since I was a teenager. I enjoy taking pictures and playing around with different advanced equipment. I am confident that my work is just as good or even better than what you paid $3000 for the most professional photographer for a wedding. I am using a top-notch full frame Nikon DSLR camera with top notch Nikon lenses. I also have a Sony 4K camcorder that can record excellent 4K videos. Therefore, we can be your excellent videographer too for your wedding or party.

Wellington is 5 stars, no doubt. My husband and I had a hard time committing at first because choosing a photographer is a huge decision. That, and it always seems expensive at 3,000 and up (remember, most of their time is truly spent planning and editing, not just being there day of). We need to pay most of our wedding ourselves. That is why we hold off our photographer selection until just 2 months before our wedding. After much research and requested quotes from about 30 photographers. We found Artistic Pro Photography and Wellington to be within our budget and actually below our budget. We were both skeptical at first, so we took the engagement session first. Wellington took us to a resort just 3 days after our request. The resort is beautiful with a duck pond and a beach. We had a fun time posing for him. He asked us to do multiple poses at the resort. The photos came out fabulously. We love his many poses. I showed off the photos to my friends and my parents. They all love them. I then booked them for our wedding. We were happy with his flexibility and ability from start to finish - everything from putting a photo/video package together, to understanding what we wanted, to wedding timeline feedback, to their unobtrusive and seamless participation day of. He took our photos, and his wife took our videos. We enjoyed the attention to detail they had. They got nearly every moment we asked for. They delivered in the number and quality of photos. The video also came out well and very sharp at 4K. One of our biggest joys was that we didn't even have to wait to see the images - we got the photos just 2 days after our wedding! We would 100% recommend Wellington and Sarah. Their price is also 5 stars. You cannot find such a good deal.

If you're looking for an AMAZING photographer that is kind and cares so deeply to make sure you get the photos of your dreams, you found her! Jasmine is literally so kind. I honestly think the best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Jasmine as our photographer. Before booking, Jasmine wanted to meet us via google meets to get to know each other before we made the decision of booking her. She asked for our love story and what we hope out of our wedding photos, and boy did she hit it right on the nail! She did an amazing job getting us photos we will cherish forever. She also told us her thoughts on having a first look (we were against it at first), and we decided to take her advice. Our first look was my favorite part of the entire wedding! A few days after our wedding, she gave us our sneak peeks, it was the PERFECT amount to keep us satisfied until we got the rest and of course they did not disappoint. We immediately printed out photos for our living room and printed out family portraits for each of our parents. When I think back to all the best parts of my wedding, Jasmine's photos captured it all for me. Thank you Jasmine for being the best photographer.

Leslie is the best! She radiates sweetness and so beautifully captured our big day. She genuinely listens in each meeting, and is so easy to talk to. The relationship that she creates is one that makes the wedding so enjoyable— and you get the vision you want because she remembers what you wanted! We wanted photos that were light, airy, and timeless— her touch is exactly that. I can’t stop posting the photos and choosing which ones to post has been hard because I love them all!! You will not regret choosing Leslie for your big day- you can feel the love and energy through the photos. She also offers incredible print options and we got our favorite photo in a stunning acrylic!! Overall, pictures are one of the biggest parts of a wedding and she delivered on every front. She created a schedule that was perfect for the flow of the wedding, she could get people where they needed to be, she captured moments that I missed during the day (and I love to look back on now), and of course all the important moments!

I like to think that my style is natural and genuine :) I smile big, love to laugh but also might cry at your first dance.

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

Working with Morgan was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! She captured every moment of our special day with such artistry and professionalism.

The pictures came out better than we could've wished for! They were also really good at directing us, because my wife and I haven't really done a lot of posing for pictures before. So don't think twice! Thanks again!

We worked with Russ for our wedding and engagement photos and we love his work! Russ was on the recommended list for our venue, and after checking out his portfolio we knew we had to reach out to him. After an initial consult, we chose to go with Russ. We first met Russ at our engagement shoot. We are both relatively shy and uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Russ made us feel at ease. We love our engagement photos and love our wedding photos even more. Russ was so easy to work with on the wedding day - he was on time, communicative, and helpful. He kept our family photos moving and helped organize guests for photos. Our guests even commented on how great Russ was at the wedding. He delivered a (very large) sneak peek within just a few days of the wedding. Overall, Russ is a great guy and an amazing photographer. We would highly recommend Russ to anyone looking for an engagement/wedding photographer!

Even before I was engaged, I knew Sarah was the one I wanted to help document my forever memories. Having a fun and professional photographer was such a priority to me. Our wedding weekend was truly unique and incredible, and Sarah played a pivotal role in making it so. Her expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire planning process. She didn't just capture moments; she actively helped us create and preserve them. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to any engaged couple looking for a wedding photographer who not only takes stunning photos but also adds a special touch of fun and professionalism to the entire experience.

Our search frankly wasn’t difficult - it began and ended with Courtland! When we first started thinking about photographers, we were looking for someone personal, for someone who could capture the beauty in the little moments, and someone that could take our breath away with one picture. There was not a more important decision to us than selecting a photographer! Finding Courtland Photography was a needle in a haystack of photographers in the area; HOWEVER, Courtland’s stunning, award-winning photographs paired along with his genuine personality made this the easiest decision for our wedding. As my husband is also an Army veteran like Courtland, they bonded over their time while we drank wine prior to our engagement photos. Courtland spent more time than I expected getting to know us before taking our pictures - he wanted to ensure that he KNEW us, not just how we met, where we live, what we do. After that, it was a breeze to work with him. Our engagement photos were filled with many laughs, touching moments, and jaw-dropping pictures. Fast forward to a year later for our wedding day and Courtland was, again, nothing but amazing to work with. We’ve already received our sneak peeks (just 5 days after the wedding day) and we’re in AWE!! He captured the little moments of our nieces dancing in rain puddles all the way through the end of the evening being surrounded by our family and friends on the dance floor. Truly, easiest and BEST decision we made!
