Wow, how can we even begin to describe Claudia? From our very first call, she was so kind, outgoing, and personable. We wanted someone who could make us feel comfortable and capture our love in a way that felt real, and she did exactly that. Our engagement and wedding photos are absolutely stunning, timeless, emotional, and beautifully true to who we are. My husband and I don’t take many photos together, but Claudia made us feel completely at ease and was our biggest cheerleader the entire time. She even managed my family with such grace despite a language barrier, which meant so much to me. Having Claudia as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We’re endlessly grateful for the way she captured the love and joy of our day. We truly can’t recommend her enough!!

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was an incredible choice for our wedding photography. Their communication was quick and helpful from the very beginning - they were always available to answer any questions I had. The quality of their work was truly stunning, with gorgeous posed photos as well as amazing candids that captured all the special moments of our day. The whole OLAS team was so supportive and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. It was also super convenient to bundle the photography, videography, and DJ services through them at an amazing price compared to booking each service separately. I'm thrilled with the beautiful memories they were able to capture of our wedding day.

Atlanta, GA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

My love for photography is my passion. I take it with me everywhere I go, I capture pictures of my daily life and I print those pictures once a month, I know it will be worth it when I'm old and look back at life. Being a wedding photographer is a very emotional/technical thing, it is a challenge to create technically correct, well-composed, perfectly lit, beautiful images all day long, every weekend. Wedding photography is not for everyone, but it's for me! I love that challenge. Bring it on!

Awarded Best of Zola
Andrea is a spectacular photographer & was such a pleasure to work with! We had several meetings leading up to our wedding to discuss our vision, wants, & must have shots. She leaves herself open to you all day which came in handy as we asked her to stay an additional hour & she agreed without hesitation. Turn around for full galleries is super quick, we got ours just over a week after our wedding. Photos were one less thing to worry about and we can’t be more grateful for that!

Denis Reggie 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
Atlanta, GA
  • Photojournalistic style

With a warm heart and lifelong passion for capturing poignant moments, Denis is one of the most recognized and sought-after photojournalists for weddings of any size anywhere. Master of being everywhere yet nowhere to be seen, he quietly surveys and documents the scene often from the sidelines. His authentic and touching wedding photographs reveal a loving spirit with sincerity and depth as no staged photograph can. He discovers people at their relaxed best without prompting or posing, unaware of his camera or mission. He views himself as a witness and historian on hand to discover and document heartfelt wedding day moments.

Denis Reggie is not only an incredible wedding photographer who takes stunning photos, but he is also a wonderful storyteller. He captured spontaneous moments and expressions throughout our wedding weekend that truly tell a tale of great joy and beauty, feeling and fun. And he did so while being unobtrusive yet omnipresent. He also has an eye for the iconic, with photos that take our breath away every time we look at them. His albums are gorgeous — his layout and sizing of photos are artful and striking. Even many years after our wedding, Denis worked with us to complete our wedding albums (our life had gotten in the way!). Denis and his assistant Steve were the utmost professionals, yet I never got the sense that our wedding was just another wedding/job for them. Other photographers whom we had contacted before reaching out to Denis made us feel like they were doing us a favor, yet Denis — who has a greater reputation and far more talent — was professional, warm and kind. To us, Denis turned out to be more than a wedding photographer — we regard him as a very wonderful and integral part of our experience. We recommend him most enthusiastically!

I create captivating and timeless photographs that capture the essence of my couple's unique connection, immortalizing their love in stunning portraits.

They were great at capturing every moment and detail and gave us great results. I really enjoyed thier creativity and competence. Once i saw their work-flow and attention to detail, i knew i didn't have to worry about anything going forward. My wife and I loved the photos and want to thank you for being a great service provider. We wish you guys the best.

Atlanta, GA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,200

I’m a wedding photographer who truly believes the best photos come from real moments. The laughs you don’t plan, the quiet pauses, the happy tears — those are the things that matter most to me when I’m photographing a wedding day.I love working with couples who care more about meaning than perfection and want photos that feel timeless and true to who they are. If you’re looking for someone who keeps things calm, blends in when it matters, and documents your day as it really felt, I’d love to be part of it.

I approached Emma when I got my engagement photos back and was utterly disappointed by the original photographer and editor. I was at my whits end and Emma as calmly and supporting as possible said, send me them and let me see. I sent her the photos, already losing confidence in wanting to post them. Emma replied back and said, I got you.. give me a few days. Within 2 weeks I went from not wanting to use those photos to being COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH THEM. She heard my issues with the original photos, took notes, included me in the creative process on if I liked the direction she was going, and completely over exceeded my expectations. Working with Emma, you not only get a professional, but an empathetic human being who understands that sometimes its not about getting the shot, but creating a moment that can transcend beyond words can compare. Her artistic touch elevates the imagery and I am soo happy to have her as my photographer.

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!

Chris was a 10/10 as our wedding photographer. Being a longtime friend, I already knew he was talented, often capturing a perfect moment when out with our friend group, but our wedding photos surpassed our expectations and remain some of our favorite pictures ever. He captured the vibe and aesthetic we talked about while also capturing moments that we didn’t even realize were happening. He made everyone feel at ease and maintained an high attention. Highly recommended!

Chrissandra is a destination wedding & portrait photographer, specializing in capturing clean, effortless imagery. We believe in soaking up every blissful moment. We'll be there to blend into the background, capturing the genuine moments, the stolen glances & the belly laughs. Think of us as your visual storytellers, the ones who translate the emotions of the day into photographs that will be as genuine & unforgettable as you are.

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Chris! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she was absolutely phenomenal. Chris brought the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth, which made both of us feel completely at ease in front of the camera — and that’s saying a lot, since we don’t usually consider ourselves very photogenic! She was incredibly knowledgeable — not only about lighting and posing, but also in suggesting great locations that truly enhanced our photos. Her direction helped us look natural and feel confident, and the results speak for themselves. The photos are stunning. We’ve already framed most of them, and they’ve become the perfect start to our new family’s photo collection. On our wedding day, Chris was efficient, calm, and so easy to work with — it honestly felt like having a trusted friend with us who just happened to be capturing every meaningful moment. She blended in seamlessly while still managing to get every shot we could have hoped for. We highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for high-quality, beautiful photos. She’s everything you could want in a photographer — talented, reliable, fun to work with, and absolutely worth every penny!

Fotos By Fola 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Atlanta, GA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200

My name is Afolabi Sogunro. As you've probably noticed that’s where the “FOLA” in Fotos by Fola comes from. Unlike many other photographers who knew that's what they wanted to do, for me it was actually a hidden talent discovered by others. I’ve always loved and enjoyed taking pictures for people or at random events but never truly knew I had an eye for it. Eventually after persistent encouragement from family and friends, I took photography by the horn and have never looked back since. I love photography for many reasons, but mainly because of how it preserves moments that will always be remembered.

If you are considering booking with Fola, do it now! I am a September 2023 Bride, engaged in August 2022, and Fola has been there every step of the way. The photos speak for themselves, but you are also booking a vendor who builds relationships with his clients and has IMPECCABLE attention to detail. Fola made us feel comfortable during every shoot, reminded me to take the day in as the bride, and, most importantly, ensured we had fun! While we waited for our final photos, Fola sent over some iPhone teaser videos for us to have content from our big day. His photos brought to life the fairytale I always dreamed my wedding would be. Pre-wedding shoot to the post-wedding debrief, Fola has remained responsive, patient, kind, and professional. If you want a vendor who will deliver amazing photos and customer service, you need to go with FotosbyFola.

Savanna Kaye is a photo + creative arts business that exists to not only capture the face of humanity but the soul as well. We promise to do this in light, for love, and with people (yes, you!). The dream is to tell stories. Whether that's through photographs, videos, writing, or really whatever the platform-- I want to connect with people on a level that goes deeper than meets the eye. I want to share in the mountain top moments, the valleys, the victories and the defeats. I want to be a connecter. And that's what I promise to do if we ever work together.

Savanna Kaye is truly a dream photographer—and an even better person. We didn’t find her until after our engagement shoot, but she still wanted to get to know us before the big day and even asked to grab drinks just to establish a relationship. That level of care says everything about who she is: thoughtful, genuine, and deeply invested in her couples. From the start, Savanna made it clear that our vision was her priority. She’s incredibly organized, full of creative ideas, and truly passionate about what she does. She brings this calm confidence and creative energy that makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. Her energy is magnetic—positive, professional, and exactly what you want on such a big day. Her sneak peeks came back so quickly after the wedding, and they were absolutely stunning. We are counting down the days until we get the rest of the photos because we already know they’ll be perfect. Savanna’s work speaks for itself—exquisite, emotional, and full of life. But what really sets her apart is how much she cares. We can’t recommend her enough!

Tasteful Tea Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Atlanta, GA

My style is documentary/editorial. I love an image that looks like it was taken on a film camera, and I'm a huge fan of the modern-day blur. However, I know it's important to get the MUST grab traditional photos if the couple want's them! I'm a huge fan of flash photography as well as natural light. I've been taking photos for seven years while I have owned my own wedding band that has performed all throughout the south. I think it's important to laugh and it's even more important that you feel like you look your best.

I want to set the tone. I’m a single mom who met the man of her dreams after moving to a rural city from Atlanta. He decides he wants to marry me very quickly and I have only a few months to plan a wedding. My budget is extremely small, but my family is very large. No matter what, there’s going to be at least 100 people there. It’s a month before the big day, and I’m frantically trying to find a photographer within my price range. My cousin finds Tasteful Tea and Charissa…essentially making the best possible decision ever for my wedding. She’s sweet, kind, and talented; willing to meet you where you are as far as planning or vision. She helping me pull off this spectacular day for under 6k and made it look fabulous in the process. She asked about potential poses, gave tips on crucial moments and wanted to know every detail from faces/names/relationships to moments I wanted captured. Charissa captured the love, the chaos, the essence, and fun of my special day. For that, I’ll always have something nice to say about her work. Quick turnaround too! Thank you, again, Charissa! Your photos deserve to be in someone’s gallery.
