I have worked with Bonne for years. We have worked together on weddings and I witness her professionalism and creativity as she shoots, always making the bride and groom feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not only have we worked together, but Bonne has done portraits for me on many different occasions and the photos are so special to me. Bonne has a great eye for composition and light, and always makes me feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. When I get my photos back I am always amazed at what she captures and how she edits. Bonne delivers the edited images in a timely manner.

Alex & Jeremy were the BEST. I cannot believe the number of compliments I received from friends and family who were at the wedding. They were the most professional and interacted with our guests all night long. During the day, we moved through our timeline so smoothly but never felt rushed in my special moments with my husband. We laughed, we cried, we danced- every moment was captured by them and we are so thankful! I was hoping that the weather would cooperate for some golden hour portraits- not only did Jeremy get the most BEAUTIFUL golden hour photos but he grabbed us just as the sun came peaking out of the clouds and got a few photos of us with my veil in the wind. I am OBSESSED with both sets of these portraits. I’ve already recommended OLAS to friends and family who are getting married. They were the best vendor I could have asked for to capture our special day!

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed. One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding. We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations.

Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Athens, AL

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Capturing weddings as they unfold rather than directing how they should feel. My approach is quiet and observant — present enough to anticipate moments, but never interrupt them. The day moves naturally, and the images follow.

Awarded Best of Zola
After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, & now Mississippi!! What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I also just got married on August 31st, so I know how it feels to be both a service provider and a customer! My style of photography is more candid with a documentary style approach, but I do love a good editorial moment!

Angelina was a God send. She made my day feel so special she was so professional and friendly! She made sure to capture a lot of candid moments for us and the poses she suggested didn’t feel awkward or forced.

My business began in 2017 and has been going strong ever since. I have always loved photography but now have a passion for it since losing my mom to brain cancer several years ago.

That is what I want to do for you!! Capture snapshots of your life and love, preserving your memories for a lifetime.

Leslie Grace Photography & Films was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was phenomenal, outstanding, and always on time. The quality of their work and overall value is unmatched - Leslie has a way of making me feel like a model, and she would even send us photos at 2 AM just to make sure we could get our pictures back quickly. Leslie really went above and beyond to contribute to our special day. When I was feeling nervous before the ceremony, she called me aside and asked me to describe my wife in a few words, which ended up capturing such an emotional moment that I started tearing up. She also made the photo sessions fun and engaging, even getting our rambunctious toddler to smile the whole time. Leslie Grace Photography will undoubtedly be the only person we use for any future photoshoots - she makes us feel so comfortable and special, and has truly transformed what I used to dread into a party when my wife tells me it's time for photos!

Images will be created by curating artistic images with posing & prompts, while eliminating the feeling of your day being a production and capturing the real things as they happen. True-to-life and true-to-color is the vibe here to give you photos you'll want to share and hang on your walls until the end of time. If you're looking for magical, intentional photos that just scream you, let's connect.

I have worked with Hannah for capturing multiple of my major life events, but nothing tops her wedding photography!!! She helped capture every detail I wanted the ones I didn’t even know I would cherish down the road!! I specially requested golden hour photos after the ceremony, and they are my favorite from the whole album. Which were. Spot. On. Sooooo goooood. She is so talented in her way of capturing the most perfect of moments and getting personality in there, too! I cannot brag enough on my experience and photos from Hannah Claire Co. She jumped through hoops to help my wedding be the dream that I envisioned from the start. Hannah exudes kindness and selflessness when it comes to your very own special day.

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. I’ve spent 15 years photographing weddings for queer couples and their allies. No cheesy poses, no fluff. Just honest, authentic images full of life, laughter, and love that you’ll actually want to look at again and again.

Awarded Best of Zola
In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

I'm Gina May Brown — a wedding and engagement photographer based in Pulaski, TN, with nearly 40 years behind the lens. I serve a limited number of clients each year so I can show up fully for every single one. My work is quiet, documentary, and deeply personal. I believe your wedding day is the beginning of a family heirloom — not just an event to document, but a story worth preserving for generations.

Couldn’t recommend better photographers. They were experts at their craft. They were friendly helpful and experienced. They showed up early took photos and even helped us with last minute stuff. They took time to get to know our bridal party and our families. 10/10 would recommend. Best photographers I’ve ever I’ve used for ANY event.

Growing up my father was a professional photographer. He shot everything from wildlife, to sports, to products. He gave me my first camera when I was in high school and that kicked off my passion for photography. My wife is a very talented artist, and we are raising a beautiful little girl who is a burgeoning artist herself. I am based in Birmingham, Alabama and will photograph weddings across the Southeastern United States. I am also an LBGTQIA+ friendly wedding photographer. I believe that celebrating all love is beautiful and love the opportunity to capture it for you!

We had the pleasure of working with Wil to shoot our big day! He completely exceeded our photography expectations and captured our wedding day so so beautifully!! He went out of his to make sure he captured all the special moments between us, our family, and friends. moment. We couldn’t be happier with the end result! Wil is not only professional but a very nice and helpful guy. Clear and concise on what to expect and made the process seamless for us which was nice during what can be a stressful time. Truly can't recommend him and his work enough!
