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!

Nick was amazing. Captured every shot we had discussed and then some. Very nice and easy to work with. We were totally happy with his work even before we saw the pictures which were all we'd hoped for and more 20/10 would definitely work with again.

Chicago, IL

  • Serves Aliso Viejo, CA for additional fees

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.

Kaitlyn ended up doing our COVID wedding in 2020, it was the closest thing to eloping. I love and cherish our wedding photos so much and will be so excited for any future sessions we might have with her, i Can not recommend her enough

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Aliso Viejo, CA for additional fees

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

Awarded Best of Zola
Dasha was recommended to us by a friend, but we were unsure of what to expect and really weren't too enthused about having to take wedding photos (mostly a family request). We relented and ended up with a rainy day, which further worried us. Dasha calmly and efficiently guided us around her suggested locations, with minimal fuss. The whole experience was easy, efficient, and professional. The final product was excellent. We would absolutely recommend Dasha, especially if you have any doubts or are unsure of where/how/what you want...she will guide you perfectly!

Pawtucket, RI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Aliso Viejo, CA for additional fees

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.

Working with Dominique was an amazing experience, from our initial inquiry to the delivery of our final gallery. Dominique was very sweet, professional and organized, which made it so that my fiancé and I didn't have to stress over anything. She took a genuine interest in getting to know us and our love story, so that our photos would reflect who we are as a couple. Thanks to her help, our photo timeline worked out perfectly with the timeline of our wedding day events. We are absolutely in love with our galleries and love the creative overlap that we were able to achieve. Dominique made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera, which resulted in natural and genuine photos. We had mentioned that detail shots were important to us, and Dominique captured them beautifully. We are beyond happy with our decision to hire Dominique and are excited to have these gorgeous photos to look back on forever. Thank you so much!

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Will & capturing the humanity of moments is what fuels me. The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture! More of what it FEELS like not just what it looks like. Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

As newbies to the whole couple photography process, my husband and I were a bit nervous, but Will made the experience easy, fun, and inspiring for us! And most importantly, we loved how these photos turned out. The gallery they were delivered through was easy to use and share! Due to the COVID travel restrictions, many family and friends couldn’t join us. These photos helped capture the special moments and tell the story for us in a much more vivid way!

**We are new to Zola but not new wedding photographers.** Banker Creative is a small business consisting of myself Joe, and my wife Ashley. We are a Husband + Wife Creative Team that specializes in documenting weddings. We call Ohio home, but we are grateful to have the opportunity to continue to capture weddings all over the country. So far we have worked in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Utah, Virgina, West Virginia and Washington DC. We can't wait to visit more states and experience new places!

Cannot recommend Joe Banker Photography and Videography enough! We hired them for our wedding and received a free engagement shoot in our package. My husband and I are very nervous and uncomfortable with our pictures being taken but Joe and Ashley immediately made us feel comfortable and confident. Our engagement pics were STUNNING! Because of this, we ended up extending our wedding package to include our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Joe and Ashley were part of our entire wedding weekend and were one of our favorite parts. They were calm, extremely professional, constantly being flexible with weather and lighting, and so accommodating to my husband and I and our entire bridal party. They were so unbelievable that we received texts and calls from guests about how appreciative they were of Joe and Ashley - and this was BEFORE our wedding day pics even were released! Needless to say, our pictures and videos from our wedding weekend were perfect. Joe and Ashley have a keen eye for beautiful shots and what works for each couple. Book Joe Banker Photography, we PROMISE you won’t regret it! They are worth every cent and will bring so much joy to your special day and marriage for years and years to come.

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

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!

We were so lucky to be paired with Carrie for our engagement shoot. We were even luckier for her to do our wedding photos. Carrie will literally get on her hands and knees to get the best shot for you. She made the day or so fun and stress free which was so helpful with my nerves! She is one of the most creative people we know and I couldn’t be more happier with our pictures. Could not recommend her more!

Hello Rad People, My Name is Taylor, I am based out of Golden, Colorado. I am a huge animal lover. We have 2 dogs ,2 cats. Plus, Carl our bearded dragon. So, please bring all the animals to your session or event! I have always loved nature and the outdoors. We do a lot of hiking and camping in the beautiful Mountains. My passion for photography started at a young age, I started doing film Photography and developing my own photos before I even picked up a digital camera. I never thought that my love for photography would turn into my career, where I get to photograph people in love in the places they love. Now let’s get Wild!

Awarded Best of Zola
So first off, the first things I asked her were; are you LGBT friendly, can you handle my anxiety, and can you photograph fat people?? Her answer was yes to all....and she exceeded my expectations. I do not talk much nor do I speak my mind ever, but I felt immediately comfortable with Taylor the second I saw her. Prior to that actually because we had texted a lot. She’s very hands-on. I booked her almost a year ago it feels like, but because of covid and other things out of our control we had to reschedule multiple times. Taylor was SO accommodating every single time. She never seemed bothered by us even though I guarantee she had to be. We are a hot mess! We changed the location multiple times, including TWO DAYS before the ceremony, I was late to my own elopement and on the way there my daughter spilled make up all over her clothes so we had to turn around for an outfit change!! Taylor was so kind and friendly. We told her in the beginning that mine and my wife’s height difference was an insecurity of ours and she made the angles work to where we didn’t look that far off at all. I’m telling you this, I have never been confident at all, I have never even liked the pictures other photographers have taken of me.....I cried when I saw Taylor’s pictures. I felt so beautiful and worthy of good photos!! I HIGHLY recommend her and will forever cherish everything she’s done. I was so uneasy about picking a photographer, it was so stressful because I’m from out of state and I knew nothing about Colorado or anything. I’m blessed to have found Taylor, she gave me everything I wanted and more!! Every single time I travel back to CO I will always have he take our photos!! Thank you so much for giving us this Taylor, we appreciate you more than you know!!

We loved everything about working with Natalie from start to finish and couldn’t recommend The Finding Co enough! We loved their style as soon as we saw their work and loved that they seemed to capture the details, small moments, and emotion of the day so well. they fully delivered on that! Our wedding day was a bit rainy/misty which seriously limited the spaces where we could shoot group photos. Natalie adapted so quickly to the poor lighting and tight spaces and really embraced the misty atmosphere to create timeless but creative shots. We love our photos SO much and they truly capture not just the aesthetics of the day but the love, fun, and emotion. Natalie and her second shooter Danielle were such a pleasure to have around us the whole day. They were present but still blended into the background seamlessly. You won’t regret working with them!

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.

She knows how to give direction in a time efficient manner while being light, upbeat, and fun! We provided inspiration pictures and explained what was important to be captured. They delivered with high quality. We truly felt they cared and their artistic creativity captured beautiful photos to remember our engagement and wedding. We would use Alisa and Wayne as our photographers over again and for other events as well. Thank you Alisa and Wayne!

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 🖤

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.

Juan and his wife Emily took the most BEAUTIFUL photos of my fiancé and I in Asheville, NC. His style is classic with a modern twist. He captures movement shots that look like we were sprinting off to a romantic getaway. His wife helped capture images as well and provided some great input on several shots. Both so kind, patient, and good at their job. I am so thankful to have such priceless photos. I recommend Juan and Emily for any event that you want to capture the memories via photo.

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.

She is precious and perfect and excellent at what she does. My wife and I happened upon Marla’s work when she first moved to Seattle in our hunt for queer friendly photographers. From the first moment we spoke we knew we’d be in good hands. Working with Marla felt like hanging out with a friend. We love her and you will love her too. We didn’t absorb that she specialized in elopement photography when we found her, but clearly she’s versatile because our photos are gorgeous! As people who aren’t used to being photographed professionally, Marla gave great direction when we needed it and caught a million beautiful candid moments. She forgot her coat in her fiancés car and did not complain or act chilly even though her nose and cheeks were turning red (don’t worry, we shared our jackets with her haha). Our guests also raved about her!!! She’s lovely and talented; she will make you feel comfortable and encouraged and beautiful.

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

I can't gush over Grace enough. After postponing our wedding twice due to Covid, we abandoned our original plans of having a huge wedding at home in Kentucky and decided to have a small ceremony at the beach in Florida. After finding Grace through hashtags on Instagram, we DMed a bit and setup a call. After talking on the phone, I was sold! Grace was my go to girl for all things Florida. She had the BEST recommendations for other vendors and was ALWAYS just a text away if I had any questions or simply needed someone to share wedding plans with. Even though we didn't actually meet in person until the day of the ceremony, it felt as if we had been lifelong friends. She PERFECTLY captured our ceremony and I can't wait to plan another shoot with her when we visit again!!

I specialize in documenting weddings! I believe in images that are timeless, true to color, with a touch of moodiness and emotion. Photography is one of the biggest and most important investments you’ll make for your wedding day. Wedding photography isn’t just a financial investment. You’re also investing in a photographer who values and builds that relationship from the start, from planning a custom timeline with you, to going over all the details every step of the way leading up to the wedding day. I want my couples to be as involved in the creative process as I am. It’s all about the experience!

Words can't fully describe how amazing the experience was from start to finish with Chamblee! If you need someone to capture a moment as precious as saying "I Do", Chamblee is your photographer! She was always thoughtful and patient, and the quality of the photos are amazing! Each photo shows how much care and attention Chamblee puts into the composition of each shot!

Coral was amazing to work with! We had the pleasure of getting to know her when we booked her last-minute to take some photos of my good friends' small backyard ceremony in 2018. When my husband and I later got engaged, we knew we had to book Coral to capture our own planned festivities for June 2020. When 2020 rolled around and it became apparent that we had to scrap most of our original plans, we couldn't have asked for a better partner than Coral. Her flexibility and encouragement during what was a crazy time for everyone kept us sane. We unfortunately nixed all of our other vendors with the changes we made, but kept Coral because we knew we wanted her there to capture whatever our day turned out to be. Coral captured beautiful photos of our two(!) wedding/reception dates and we are so glad to have those treasured photos. She's incredibly easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable, especially as my family and I don't get in front of the camera very often. We can't recommend Coral enough!

We had our engagement photos taken by We Do Weddings and had a great experience. My wife and I weren't set on a good location, but Jared and Quinn had a couple of suggestions and Freestone Park turned out perfect. They also arrived early and had a couple spots in mind to shoot at, which I really appreciated since it was a warm day and that expedited the process. The shoot was casual and surprisingly fun. They worked quickly but we never felt rushed. They gave great direction (including some pictures of what they were looking for at times) which turned out great.

I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

Awarded Best of Zola
Grace shot our April 2019 wedding in Hawaii on Oahu. We found Grace through a friend of ours and we immediately started following her on Instagram. The quality and look of her images were stunning. We wanted a photographer who was experienced and specialized in smaller, more intimate ceremonies, and we knew she fit the bill, but we really felt at ease after our first call. It’s hard to know where to start in looking for a photographer, but I loved that she was from the midwest (we are too) and was still so confident in shooting in different climates. She just made us feel so comfortable and we really felt like she knew what we wanted before we could even really articulate it. I was really struggling with the timeline, but Grace was so helpful in ensuring we had time for the photos we wanted. She was always so responsive and we felt very guided through the whole process. Our photos are BREATHTAKING and they are still getting all compliments and we’re coming up on five years! I remember the NIGHT OF the wedding, Grace had already sent over some sneak peeks and that just meant the world. It was just an amazing experience working and collaborating with Grace from start to finish. And even to this day, we keep in touch. She has done another adventure session with us and her team member shot my Aunt and Uncle’s vow renewal. So, I obviously recommend her as she very well may be taking all of our professional photos for the foreseeable future :)

BOOK HIM NOW!! If Ryan is available for your wedding or event date, book him immediately!!! My husband and I just celebrated our 1 year anniversary last week and people are still are giving us complements on our wedding photos a year later! We live in Dallas and had a small intimate wedding in New Orleans and from our first consultation call to the big day, he was so thoughtful and intentional on understanding us as a couple and how we wanted our wedding day captured. He even visited our venues a week beforehand to scope out the area and made creative suggestions on where we could get the best shots that represented us as couple. As a bride planning from a different city, this was so helpful and made our day go so seamlessly! He made my husband and I feel so comfortable and suggested poses as we never know what to do with our hands or how to pose. Ryan was very communicative leading up to our wedding with emails and check ins and a final confirmation call to run through everything the week before . He sent us updates right after so we had clear expectations on when we would receive our pictures. Plus just an over all very nice person and human! Now to the pictures…THEY ARE AMAZING!! I don’t know how many people have told me they look like they are out of magazine and that is all because Ryan is a true artist who takes his craft very seriously!

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Deb and her team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding pictures in April 2021. The pictures are so beautiful and did a great job of capturing our day. She got the pictures back to us so quick too! Our friends and family have not stopped texting us raving about how nice the pictures came out! Would recommend Parker Photography to anyone.

On the day of our wedding, he was a great presence to have around- so calming and organized to capture each special moment. He returned a sneak peak and then our full album so quickly and we loved it all so much!

She was super sneaky about making us laugh while posing and snapped the perfect pictures when we weren’t paying attention. We have some gorgeous, natural lit, sunset engagement photos for our invitations. I loved the experience. She got us the proofs within a week!

From the moment we met Allie, we knew something about her was so special. My husband and I first met Allie when we took our engagement photos and after running around and laughing with her, we couldn’t stop talking about how much FUN we had. Any time I’ve spent with Allie or even talking to her have easily become my some of my favorite memories from this special season of life. During the time leading up to the wedding she would occasionally send me sweet voice notes or messages as little reminders of her thinking about me and Cameron and praying for us as we got closer and closer to our wedding day. By the time our wedding rolled around, I genuinely just felt like Cameron and I were hanging out with one of our dearest friends on our wedding day and she just happened to be taking photos of us. Allie has a magical way of capturing moments as if she’s seeing them from your own eyes. Each photo she took feels like I’m seeing my own memories of our beautiful day come to life and that is absolutely priceless. I will always treasure my sweet Allie and these photos that we will cherish our whole lives!

I am here to make the never-shot-before-couple look like they belong in a magazine spread and I will capture candid, living, details and moments on your wedding day that will bring you back to that first touch time and time again. We offer wedding photography and super 8 films.

We had the full on Brittany Bear Photography experience and I can’t say enough good things! The photos and super 8 video are truly works of art. It is the perfect mix of editorial and candid photos. Britt is great at helping to pose and push you out of your comfort zone for the more editorial shots. Since we aren’t models, it took some getting used to but all I can say is to trust the process and the vision! Throughout the wedding day, we had time for those more posed shots, and otherwise, she captured unique moments happening around that felt so alive and true to the day. We also have a really unique wedding video thanks to the super 8 film that was shot. And for the full bridal experience, Britt’s boudoir add on is 100% worth it! I loved that Britt’s style wasn’t typical wedding photography, and we will forever cherish the way our big day was captured.

Erin Dahlin Photography

  • Serves Aliso Viejo, CA for additional fees

Hi all, I’m Erin! I’m a wedding photographer based in Minneapolis but I’m always up for a destination or travel wedding/elopement. I feel my favorite images are always ones that are captured vs manufactured and embracing the true interactions between the couple, their friends and family. I LOVE love and I’ll probably cry at your wedding, all those feels get me.

I can't imagine anyone better to work with for our wedding pics. Erin effortlessly met our vibe and helped us keep everything calm, cool, and moving right along. She was essential in helping us nail down a timeline that maximized our priorities but also resulted in an incredible variety of photos that perfectly captured the day. We ended up with so many photos we loved that our moms scheduled a day to reminisce on the wedding and go back through the pics together. Everything 10/10, can't recommend enough!

Larsen Wedding Photography

Clarksville, TN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Aliso Viejo, CA for additional fees

Along with being the owner of Larsen Wedding Photography and the man behind the camera lens for your wedding, I am also a husband, a father of four, and a USMC Veteran. I live off caffeine (Did I mention I have four kids?) and Sour Patch Kids, which means there is a good chance I will show up to your wedding with a Redbull in hand! My path into photography started when my wife brought me along as her second shooter and has grown into me taking over photographing weddings with her, occasionally, second shooting for me.

The only words to describe Jeff is a lifesaver. In our choosing process there was never any other competition and his work definitely showed it! He got us back a sneak peek the same night and the pictures were just STUNNING! I owe my life to Jeff. The only thing that mattered to us at the end of the day were our pictures and he hit it out of the park! Very professional and makes the process so much easier!

Shine Photo Arizona , I was only 15 the first time I picked up a camera and started shooting just for fun. That was thirteen years ago and since then it's grown from my hobby, to my passion to my career. I opened Shine Photo in 2020 just before the pandemic and I haven't stopped shooting since.

Ashley is one of the best photographers out there! You can tell she puts a lot of time and effort into her craft. She went to multiple destinations for us and had the greatest photo ideas. Things I would've never thought of and they made the pictures turn out amazing. (Check out her website to see for yourself). She is so kind and a pleasure to work with. She made it very fun for us as well. Will definitely come back to her in the future!

Mary Lewis was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She was super intentional about getting to know us ahead of time so we didn't feel like strangers when the date came.

Savanna Sturkie Photo

Atlanta, GA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Aliso Viejo, CA for additional fees

I'm Savanna, a wedding photographer who specializes in non-traditional and laid-back days. My work is documentary style, and it is my intention that your photos allow you to feel exactly how you did when they were taken, years later.

Working with Savanna and having her with us on our wedding day felt like having a supportive friend and hype woman by our sides all day. :) We are absolutely over the moon with our photos, and cannot stop raving about Savanna to everyone! She captured the most intimate and meaningful details of our wedding day, and we have hardly been able to stop pouring over the photos since we got them. On a gray flood-filled weekend, the colors and joy of everything popped so well in her film and digital shots. Savanna has created memories that are so beautiful that we can turn them into actual art pieces to hang on our walls! She is a true artist and a rare talent, and working with Savanna was the best decision we made for our wedding. We are so thankful for her!
