Athens, GA
  • Photojournalistic style

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!!

“We used Boheme Winter Photography for our engagement and wedding photos and we would highly recommend her. I immediately loved her style of photography but her creativity really made her stand out among other photographers we looked at. On top of her talent with photography, she is very flexible and organized which made the entire process from booking to having our photos delivered stress free.”

Hi, I’m Abigail Rodriguez, my grandfather is my second shooter and together, we bring both chaos and a fresh, creative perspective to every wedding we shoot.

My goal is to document your day honestly and beautifully, so when you look back at your photos, you don’t just remember how it looked, you remember how it felt!

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!

“Kayla is the absolute best! She is so considerate and helpful and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to make sure we had the best day— she double checked our location and provided a backup when we needed it, built our fire when our fire starter didn’t work, and ran back and forth to our cars when we forgot things. She’s a joy to work with, easy to talk to, and worth every penny. Not to mention our photos are INCREDIBLE. Love love love. 10/10.”

“We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience”

“Hannah photographed our engagement session, our welcome party and rehearsal dinner, and our wedding day—and every single album turned out absolutely perfect. She captured everything with such care, blending beautifully posed shots with those in-the-moment, documentary-style images that feel so real and alive. Her editing is soft, natural, and timeless. As a person, Hannah is just wonderful. My husband and I have never felt truly comfortable in front of a camera, but she guided us through every step and made the entire experience fun and relaxed. We felt like ourselves, and it shows in the photos. We couldn’t be happier with our images or our experience. Hannah is truly exceptional.”

Hi, my name is Maria Turner! I am a documentary style photographer capturing love stories on both film and digital. I am a homegrown and local Winston-Salem, NC girl with a second location in Boston, MA. You can usually find me along the upper east coast, but I happily offer my services within the USA with $0 travel feels. If you are interested in working together, please visit my website to see a little more about me, my work, and how I can help you make your wedding day visions real.

“Maria was the best photographer for our wedding! We chose her for her bright and vibrant style of photos and we couldn’t be more happy with our decision. My husband and I are not big picture takers and are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but Maria was the best person to walk us through the steps. We first met her for our engagement photos and she made the process so much fun. We all laughed so much and it made my husband and I that much more excited for our wedding! On the day of our wedding, Maria was energetic and welcoming to everyone. She gave clear directions and made sure everyone was comfortable. She sent us the perfect sneak peak photos as well. We got a few couple, bridal party, and detail pictures. I love how we got a sneak peak of the whole day and we cannot wait to the rest!”
