Apricotlove was a pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was quick and easy - they were responsive to all of our questions and let us make changes to the contract with no extra fees. On the day of the wedding, the photographer captured so many fun, candid moments that we'll treasure forever. His work definitely showcased how much joy and energy was present, and he even managed to capture a lot of great behind-the-scenes moments that were nice to look back on. We're thrilled with the quality of the photos and the overall value Samuel provided for our big day. We even received our photos weeks before his estimated date.

At Elizabeth Kane Photography, I don’t just document weddings—I preserve legacy. With a fine art background and over a decade in the industry, I approach each celebration with intentionality, care, and a quiet presence that allows you to stay fully immersed in your day. Serving couples across Philadelphia, New York, D.C., and beyond, I create timeless, editorial-style imagery that reflects the depth of your love and the elegance of the experience you’ve so thoughtfully curated. This is wedding photography designed to feel effortless, meaningful, and enduring—heirlooms you’ll return to, long after the last toast has been made.

There are many things that can go wrong in your wedding, but I can wholeheartedly say that choosing Elizabeth Kane Photography was one thing that was absolutely the BEST CHOICE we made for our Disney wedding! From beginning to end, Elizabeth was not only working as our photographer but was also making sure we developed a friendship to further build trust that we were in amazing hands. She traveled all the way from California to Orlando for our wedding and even went above and beyond her "behind the lens" duty to help with other areas of our wedding day! Honestly, long story short, words cannot describe how grateful we were (still are) that we chose Elizabeth for our wedding day. It was seriously the best day ever and she captured everything so perfectly; now, we'll have it all beautifully captured forever.

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out.

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Fox & Fig was incredibly supportive and patient with us as a nervous couple. We are thrilled with the sneak peeks of our photos and can’t wait for the whole product!

From the first email to the final delivery of our wedding photos, everything was handled with so much care, professionalism, and heart. Connery has an incredible gift for turning real-life moments into cinematic memories.

And let me just say, the editing was flawless. The tones, the lighting, the composition... every image looked like it belonged in a magazine. Beyond the artistry, Connery was just amazing to work with—friendly, responsive, and calm under pressure. He made us feel comfortable and at ease and somehow made the whole experience feel effortless. If you’re lucky enough to book him, do it. You’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re investing in memories that will bring tears to your eyes for years to come. ConneryFilm is truly one of a kind.

On the wedding day, she captures every important moment without ever making things feel rushed or forced. I’ve seen her jump in to fix a veil, guide the couple through portraits with ease, and still stay perfectly on schedule.

My goal is to celebrate the unique narrative of every couple by capturing their happiness and love story with a distinct light-and-airy perspective.

Steven was the photographer for my wedding last April. It was so easy working with him during the entire process. He would tell us what to do during our prewedding photoshoots, so we didn't have to worry about it. The photos came out exactly how we expected them to be. Steven is very nice, funny, and responsive. Whatever questions I had, I could just text, email, or call him. More importantly, he pays attention to DETAILS! A lot of times, he would help me or my wife to fix our hair, clothes, or anything else to help capture a perfect photo. On the wedding day, I had nothing to worry about because I trusted Steven completely. Overall, it was a great experience working with Steven. Both my wife and I are very happy that we chose him. I will easily recommend Steven to my friends and family.

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

I’ve worked with Cassie to capture my engagement, wedding & maternity shoots and I wouldn’t have it any other way. From her professionalism to her creativity to the beautiful photography she delivers, Cassie is such a dream to work with. She goes out of her way to scout the perfect location for the shoot & really puts my husband & I at ease (we’re super awkward when it comes to having our photos taken). I cannot recommend her enough!

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Southwest Productions Photography for our wedding. Kin was our photographer, and he was outstanding. Not only was he punctual, he was genuinely one of the nicest, most easygoing people we worked with the entire day. Super friendly, great energy, and just made everything feel effortless. He drove two hours to get to our venue and showed up with a smile on his face like it was nothing. That kind of attitude makes a huge difference on a wedding day, it honestly took a lot of stress off us. On top of that, his photography was amazing. He knew exactly what he was doing, guided us when we needed it, and captured everything without making it feel staged or awkward. He went above and beyond in every way.

We began our business in Scottsdale, in 2009 and in that time we have worked with hundreds of amazing couples. We had a poor experience with our own wedding photography and it was devastating - it was then that we knew that we needed to enhance the options available to couples like you! Our passion for our work goes beyond a love for photography and an eye for the details because the most precious thing we could ask for is to be part of two peoples special day. When you are involved in someone’s wedding you get to know them, their families, why they love one another, and that bond is important to us every single time.

We’re so glad we chose Lovelee Photography for our wedding. From the start, everything felt easy and well organized, which took a lot of stress off our plates. Travis was always quick to respond and genuinely cared about understanding what was important to us. He helped us put together a realistic timeline, gave helpful advice about lighting and locations around Phoenix, and made sure we felt comfortable and prepared instead of rushed or overwhelmed. On the wedding day, he was calm and confident, which honestly made a big difference. Family photos were handled efficiently without feeling stiff, portraits felt natural, and he captured so many moments we didn’t even realize were happening. It allowed us to stay present and actually enjoy the day. When we got our gallery back, we were really impressed by how consistent and thoughtful the photos were. The images feel timeless and emotional without being overly posed, and the attention to detail shows throughout. We’re also including photos from our wedding with this review because they really speak for themselves. If you want a photographer who’s professional, easy to work with, and genuinely talented, we highly recommend Lovelee Photography.

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day ! We are so excited to share these photos with our loved ones for generations to come.

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Big Bear City, CA

Weddings are rare opportunities to create meaning and magic for ourselves and the people we love, and that belief sits at the heart of my work. I take a holistic approach, starting with who you are and what you value, then helping shape a day that feels as beautiful as it looks, in whatever way is right for you. While photography is my focus, my background includes planning, coordination, and officiation, giving me a deep understanding of how weddings truly unfold. This perspective enhances every style of wedding, from timeless traditions to thoughtfully non-traditional celebrations.

I remember at the end of the day, being so overwhelmed with gratitude for Erin that my eyes overflowed with tears. As she is someone that has had so much experience with weddings, she absolutely played a critical role in prompting us to consider different things that she was able to anticipate that we had yet to imagine might be something of importance. I soo appreciated the way that she encouraged my spouse and I to turn our attention towards each other and gave us space and time to really absorb the events of our wedding day. I didn't feel like a number in a ledger when it came to her, but that she was there to be attentive to the thoughts and desires of our deepest selves. She was full of ideas and was so great with getting our nieces to look at camera for photos. (twin girls that were about two at the time) I want to print ALL of the pictures but have had to use some restraint as they are all so lovely. Her work exceeded my expectations and I would recommend her to anyone looking to have a similar experience and so many lovely photos to cherish forever. Thank you Erin! 3
