As a wedding coordinator, I am always on the lookout for great vendors. Reykphoto is probably the best photography team I've every had the pleasure of working with.

Would you like to remember everything? Well, if you ask me the answer is YESSSS! When it comes to your wedding day, of course you want to remember everything! You want to remember all the details you put so much hard work into, your new spouse wiping away those happy tears as you walk down the aisle, and your grandparent getting down on the dance floor!

We booked Darby for our engagement photos and our wedding back in June. I honestly cannot recommend her enough. She is so kind and fun to work with, talented at her craft, and creative in her vision. Every photo we have received is amazing and beautiful. Our photos truly look like art and I cannot wait to get some printed out. She made our wedding look like a dreamy fairytale and worked so well even when we had to take photos outside in the rain! Her positive attitude was infectious and she made our day that much more fun. Thank you Darby!!!

I’m based in North Georgia, but always happy to travel wherever the love (and the good vibes) take me... I believe wedding photos should be the kind you hold onto forever ..the ones that make you feel something every single time you look at them. If you’re loving my work and feel like we might be the right fit, I’d love to connect! I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can really get to know my couples. You’re not just another booking to me.. I truly care about creating a connection, capturing your story, and hopefully becoming friends along the way (besties if we’re lucky!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Bohemewinterphotography was absolutely perfect for our surprise engagement photo shoot. From the very beginning, Ivanna coordinated seamlessly with my fiancé to plan and execute the surprise proposal—and she captured the exact moment he asked and I said “yes.” She even flew from Georgia to Florida to be there for us, which speaks volumes about her dedication and professionalism. Her communication was quick, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful, making the entire process stress-free (even with all the secrecy involved!). She went above and beyond by scouting local locations in person to find the perfect backdrop, ensuring every detail was just right. The photos are stunning—professional, creative, and full of emotion. She didn’t just take pictures; she captured a once-in-a-lifetime moment that we will cherish forever. The experience was seamless, joyful, and truly memorable. If you’re looking for a photographer who is detail-oriented, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Bohemewinterphotography is the one. We couldn’t be happier.

Hi, I'm Kayla, and I believe that your wedding day should reflect what you and your beloved want; **not** what others want. Yep–I said it. Your wedding day can be your greatest adventure yet, and your decision to elope can trailblaze the way for more intention in your life. How? Eloping is a coming home to yourself and your beloved because you’re boiling all the details of your day down to what really matters. With that extra space in your day, void of distractions, you're truly free to live out your day with intention. I would be so thrilled and honored to come alongside you and help capture and craft your best day ever!

My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.
