Campbell-Combs Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Bay Saint Louis, MS

I capture my couples in an artistic documentary style. What this means, is I focus on the natural, candid moments, documenting the raw emotion and intimacy, as it happens. To tell a story so to speak. When you view your gallery you will be able to go through your wedding day reliving it, as it happened, remembering the details, emotions and even some moments you didn't even realize happened. I try to utilize natural light and I hand edit each photo. I ensure that every photo gets the attention it needs. I am professional with a hint of sarcasm, full of energy and very upbeat. If you need a distraction or a pep talk, I've got you.

Vickie is the best and even better if your wedding includes littles. She did amazing, got our photos back to us in just a few short weeks, sent sneak peaks, and just clicked with our whole family!

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Bay Saint Louis, MS

I grew up in New Orleans, but moved to Bay St. Louis when I was young. This is when I began to appreciate nature and all its intricate details. It followed shortly after that I would purchase my first camera, a Nikon N60. I immediately fell in love with photography. I just had to capture all the intriguing tiny things I saw, and that was 20 years ago. I also volunteer at The Humane Society of Southern Mississippi photographing their dogs and cats.

Jessica was phenomenal for our wedding day! She’s super sweet and easy to work with. Clear communication, and her professionalism is top tier! She also had my edits back to me in under a week. They came out amazing! To anyone living on the Gulf Coast, I recommend her!

I've been shooting weddings for almost 10 years now and love every single one. The love, the joining of 2 people, and the fun of having everyone together. I strive to have every single important moment captured to remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
We knew from the start that our wedding would be a small, intimate affair, and we wanted a photographer who could capture the special moments without being intrusive. Sidney was absolutely perfect! Communication was a breeze. Sidney was always responsive, and they took the time to understand our vision for the day. He arrived early arrived and with an assistant and both blended seamlessly into the background. They captured candid moments of our family and friends, as well as some beautiful posed portraits. We received the sneek peak very quickly and the only "hard part" is picking from all the many photos to move on to the final gallery!

  • Serves Bay Saint Louis, MS

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Isaac, we knew we were in the best hands. He has an incredibly calming presence and a natural way of making you feel comfortable, which meant we were able to be fully present on our wedding day. Our Sonoma farm wedding unfolded with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception, followed by music and festivities in the barn. Isaac captured every moment with such artistry and intention. The images feel effortless yet elevated as every frame tells a story, from quiet, emotional moments to the joy and movement of our guests celebrating into the night. The photographs from our first dance in the barn truly took our breath away. The way Isaac used the natural light, textures of the wood, and atmosphere of the space made the images feel cinematic and timeless. Working with Isaac was seamless, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day exactly as it felt. The images are beautiful, emotional, and full of life. We are endlessly grateful for his vision and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dreaming of a wedding that feels both authentic and artfully captured.
