Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

On the day of the wedding and through the prep leading up to the big day, her fun and friendly personality shone through. She was organized, calm, and seamlessly blended into the background while still guiding us through various moments. The quality of her work is truly outstanding; every photo is beautifully composed and tells a story. She has an incredible eye for detail, capturing not just the big moments but also the little, candid interactions that made our day unique. We are absolutely thrilled with the final images and grateful for the memories she helped preserve. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only skilled but genuinely cares about her clients, Sam at Golden Hour Images is the perfect choice.

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues.

Hi! My name is Sara. The last couple years of my photography career has allowed me to travel to new places which I have always wanted to do. Photography has allowed me to travel to Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Kentucky, Virgina, Connecticut Louisiana, and in July will be Oregon, and January 2025 will be Washington. I have been professionally doing photography for 3+ years. Somedays it doesn’t feel real I get to travel & meet all of you amazing people & capture all of these special moments for you. I never take it for granted. I love capturing all of the details, candid’s and the in between during your wedding day.

Sara was absolutely phenomenal, her work is beautiful and she as so easy to work with. She traveled for our wedding and I could not have asked for better pictures. Thank you so much for capturing our day!

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was sooo easy to work with. Her visions aligned with mine, she was efficient and so sweet. I truly trusted her with everything in me and she did not disappoint! She traveled across the country for us and was a 10/10 human being and professional photographer. You need her!!

I Am An Elopement And Intimate Wedding Photographer. I have a passion for capturing the raw emotion and beauty of my couple’s special day. My approach is all about telling your unique love story through timeless, candid images. As an Elopement and Intimate Wedding photographer, I believe that the photos of your big day should reflect your personalities and the love you share. I’m lucky enough to live in two of the most vibrant and diverse cities in the world – Chicago and Toronto. But my love for photography has taken me around the globe, and I’m always excited to explore new destinations and meet new couples.

Such a delight to work with Saumya! We did a fall couple photoshoot. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, other than a quick photoshoot during our wedding, we hadn't done photos as a couple before. My partner is camera-shy and she made sure we both felt comfortable to be ourselves during the shoot. She is very attentive to your vision for the shoot, and creates a warm environment where the shoot feels like fun. Our pictures turned out great!

My name is Alicia, and I'm a designer/photographer living in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am so thankful that I am able to capture the love stories of real people and provide them with honest, unposed images that they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Thank you for stopping by. I would love to work with you. Let's chase some light together.

We will treasure Alicia’s photos FOREVER. She was so amazing to have around on our big day and made us feel totally comfortable and at ease. We originally didn’t want to spend a lot of time on photos (we’d rather be hanging out with our family and friends!) but Alicia made taking photos so fun that we wanted to keep taking photos! We will really treasure these forever :)

Hello! I'm Cierra, a published wedding and portrait photographer that serves West Virginia and beyond. I've been photographing weddings since 2019 and would love to capture your special day!

We had a wonderful experience working with Buonamici Exposures for photography at our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was helpful, experienced and professional - they know weddings inside out and offered great advice. On the big day, they were extremely kind and friendly with us and our guests while still being focused and efficient. The quality of the photos is fantastic - very crisp, vibrant and artistic. They perfectly captured the emotions and special moments of our wedding. We'd highly recommend Buonamici Exposures to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer to beautifully photograph their memories.

I'm Alexa & that's my husband Evan, a biologist by day and the best second shooter in the world by night. We're a wife-and-husband duo who love people, dogs, bad dancing, new friendships, hiking, libraries, Sour Patch Kids, and genuine love in all its many forms. I started photographing weddings after working for a few years in the music industry. I loved the rush of a live performance - from the completely unpredictable nature of each show to the joy on the faces of every audience member, I adored everything about those performances. And then I realized there was a connection here - weddings aren't all that different.

We had our wedding in Oakmont, the same night as their Christmas parade. Unfortunately, the main drag of Oakmont was closed off for the parade and we couldn’t get through to the reception from our ceremony. Alexa didn’t even question it - parked 12 blocks and WALKED to our venue keeping us in communication the whole time. She had the best attitude, was absolutely amazing to work with, and we just know they’re going to be the greatest pictures of all time. If you don’t use Alexa, what are you doing??
