Emilee Meador Photography

5.0

Decorah, IA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,295
  • Serves Big Sur, CA for additional fees

I love a good love story. There’s nothing I enjoy more than photographing the kind of love that sets the soul on fire. Or capturing the excitement that comes from saying ‘yes’ to forever with your best friend. I’m empowered by the couples who are passionate about life but don’t take it too seriously. The ones who crave adventure and aren’t afraid to blaze their own trail. Who value connection and intentional conversation while making the time and space in their relationship to grow in love and as individuals.

There are not enough words to express how grateful we are that Emilee and Dan were a part of our wedding day. When searching for vendors to work with, my goal was to find people who would support a calm, grounded, flexible wedding day. With Emilee I hit the absolute jackpot. Her and Dan took the time to get to know us, to understand our values, personality and vision to collaborate on capturing a deeply personal experience. My husband and I are not fans of stiff, posed or inorganic photos on our wedding day, but instead wanted to capture who we are and our community. Emilee's approach did exactly that. She is flexible, willing to pivot at any moment and had amazing ideas from the start of our engagement shoot. Neither my husband and I are very comfortable being photographed and she immediately put us at ease. Emilee QUICKLY sent us 30 photos from our wedding as a sneak preview of our gallery and we instantly fell in love with every single one. We had so many friends reach out to us telling us how much they loved our photos and several people asked how they could reach Emilee for their own wedding day! We cannot wait to see our whole gallery. Please book Emilee you will not be disappointed!

Lakeland, FL
  • Editorial style

I’m a Sunshine State native, a Pisces, and a lover of the outdoors. Photography is my favorite way to connect with people. The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

We absolutely love Sufia! Not only are her work and editing skills 100/10, she made our wedding photos feel great and fun to take. We both felt like we were just hanging out and enjoying each others company during shoot time. Just from the sneak peeks, we love how the photos turned out!

Tavernier, FL

  • Starts at $1,450
  • Serves Big Sur, CA for additional fees

I’ve always loved photography. Yet, it wasn’t until 2008 when I began to travel internationally for work that decided to bring my Nikon D750. I was amazed when I returned home with the images to experience the magic I captured through my lens. My passion for photography was launched on the streets of Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam and Istanbul. While travel photography captivated me for several years, wedding and family photography snuck in and stole my heart. Swimming deeply in God’s grace, I believe my purpose with my talent is simple. Share love, one image at a time.

Awarded Best of Zola
I strongly recommend to seriously consider Joy to take your beautiful wedding photos. She is extremely easy to work with, very humble and always willing to go the extra mile to make the best photos. Her work is very elegant and you will be satisfied without a doubt. Also, she works very well and very effectively with all vendors during the day to ensure a smooth, happy, harmonious and amazing wedding experience for the couples and guests. For me it was an absolute pleasure to work next to Joy

Lily Brundin Photos

Grand Forks, ND
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Big Sur, CA for additional fees

I never saw myself having a wedding. Never imagined the venue, the flowers, or the centerpieces. Never had any ideas about what my hair would look like or the dress I would wear. One night I was sitting with my mom and she said “I see you getting married on a beach somewhere, with just a few friends. Then afterwards we have a bonfire and music, and we laugh all night.” It’s like she was living in my brain- that felt so right to me- and I had never seen a wedding like that. I didn’t know that kind of thing was allowed? From then on that’s the only way I’ve pictured my wedding to be one day. That’s what I want to help my couples find.

Awarded Best of Zola
We highly recommend Lily and her work is amazing! She took our engagement photos and then our wedding photos on a rainy day and they turned out so good. I have received so many compliments on my photos and we aren't sure how they turned out so incredible in the rain, but she is magic! If you are looking for a fun time and moody, earthy photos Lily is your girl! She is incredibly talented and won't let you down.

Yadira is a Bakersfield native that was raised by immigrant parents. She fell in love with love at a young age through art, music, & poetry.

Milwaukee, WI
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Big Sur, CA for additional fees

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

Kayla is fantastic! The amount of preparation and attention to detail that goes into planning a wedding is tough. However, Kayla made the photography piece so easy- I never worried about whether I made the right decision on a photographer. From engagement photos to wedding day-Her resources she provided are so helpful in planning out the wedding day timeline start to finish and made us feel prepared. Along with her overall support leading up to the day- I felt like her approach was so individualized for us as a couple. Not only did she honor our requested highlights for the day, she offered an extra little preview/short collection of phone videos to show my mom- who unexpectedly wasn’t able to attend our wedding due to hospitalization. Now, this could very well be a norm of Kayla’s but it felt so personalized and special- I would have never known otherwise. They say you get what you pay for, but I think Kayla is a steal. There are so many good shots to choose from in our gallery and we have gotten SO many compliments on our photos and Kayla- highly recommend!

My portfolio is a canvas that dances with diversity – a rich tapestry woven from both film and digital techniques.

Hey! Hello! What's happening? I'm Erika, owner and lead photographer of It Clicks Photo. I love learning about your love story, how you knew your significant other was the one, and any embarrassing stories you two have endured over time. I'm sure I have a few I feel the need to tell you about, too! I'm a very accepting, down to earth lady who values and appreciates your authentic- straight to the core- self. Capturing your wedding day fills me with life, and makes me feel all butterfly-ish and bubbly inside. Can't wait to meet you both! (PS- I love to travel! There isn't a place I won't go- honestly.)

Erika has been my favorite photographer to work with since we met a few years ago. I just love her work! As a DJ it is important to be able to work well with vendors. Especially the ones capturing the big day. It has always been very easy for me to work with Erika and her team so I recommend her every chance I get. I have noticed over the years that she is naturally a creative fun and easy going person which in my opinion is always a great quality for a wedding professional. I look forward to working with Ericka and the whole itclicks team for years to come.

Hi! I’m Patience! Thank you for checking out my portfolio! I am a destination photographer specializing in weddings and life events. I’m originally from Africa and a hopeless romantic who loves love. I am here to help you turn your vision into reality the way you want it no matter where it takes place.

If you’re looking for someone who will get the job done and go above and beyond, Patty is the one. She has a keen eye for detail and not to mention, her editing is close to true to color and is not over saturated. I absolutely love light and airy. I hired Patty because her photos were amazing! Can I say magazine worthy? Not only that, I have a tan complexion and my husband is white, I needed someone who could capture and edit both our skin tones the right way, which I feel like is hard for a lot of photographers. I’m so happy I didn’t turn out look orange or yellow. She definitely has a diverse portfolio which drew me in. Also, as a seasoned wedding professional myself, I can say Patty is very dedicated to making sure you get everything you asked for. She executes seamlessly, no doubt! Not to mention she’s so fun to be around, which is a bonus!!

Thank you for being here! My name is Amelie and I am extremely passionate about capturing intimate love stories. I love collaborating with my couples to create unique, meaningful galleries that reflect the most important moments of their days. I would describe my style as candid, emotional, dreamy, fun, and documentary-style.

From the minute that Amelie arrived at the venue, she was professional, helpful, creative, and kind. She is incredibly skilled not only at taking beautiful and artistic photographs, but also in managing the dynamics of the wedding event. My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera but taking a walk with Amelie to get some solo shots was organic and effortless. We just received some preview photos, and both her photo composition and editing captured our wedding perfectly. Without being asked, she took on many more roles than just the photographer: timekeeper, dress bustler, calm creator, and creative director. She somehow seemed to be in several places at once and was always an arm distance away when a photo opportunity arrived. She scouted beautiful places for my husband and I to take solo photos, instructed the officiant on where to best stand so our ceremony photos would look good, and remembered every single special shot that we requested prior to the event. Hiring Amelie was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding, and I can’t recommend her enough. We will certainly be recommending her to all our friends and family.

I love freezing wedding days. I stay true to color, but add in a little warmth. I love documenting the day and getting in all the emotions. My favorite part of the entire day- grooms reaction to either his bride walking down the aisle or that first look. I'm also a sucker for dad first looks. Details are also so important, it's one of the biggest day of your lives and getting it all photographed is so very important!

Ashley is spectacular to work with! Super easy going and so fun to be around!

Mary is amazing to work with! She’s there to capture all the moments with an ease and joy that immediately helps you feel comfortable and at ease (even when I tend to be uncomfortable the second a camera is pointed my way…she helped diffuse any awkwardness and bring out the natural). I loved that she captured not only the specific shots we wanted but also caught the little meaningful in between moments and came full of fun ideas. She shows up and immediately feels like someone you’ve known forever, I couldn't recommend her enough :)

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!

Anton and Natalie were absolutely amazing to work with! I was stuck on making a wedding timeline and they took right over and sent me one to get me started! Communication leading up to the big day was frequent and helpful. On the big day, Natalie went above and beyond, holding my train, holding my drink, and stepping in and buttoning my dress when my mother wasn't able. I will forever be grateful for all of the extra things she helped with that day. The photos were excellent and had their artistic touch that makes them unique and standout photographers. They definitely have a long and successful career ahead of them.

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!

Booking Grace was the best thing we did for our September 30th wedding (besides getting married of course). We connected instantly... and that is speaking on her bubbly, comforting, and caring personality. My husband and I have never been in front of a lens prior to engagement photos & our wedding, and after seeing our photos you would think we were SUPER MODELS (not kidding). Her work is absolutely breath taking, 99% of my wedding photos look like they came straight out of a magazine... the other 1% she caught some of the BEST, hysterical, memories that came from lots of alcohol, pizza, and the dance floor which we are very grateful for. I rate her and the team she brought 20/10 and will be booking her again, and again, and again for all major life events we want pictured forever. BOOK HER NOW!

I am an intimate wedding photographer based out of my home state, the Mitten. To sum it up, I'm laid back, chill, and ready to hang out. I call myself an intimate wedding photographer because I work best with couples who want a smaller, more close-knit feel to their wedding day and because I offer my clients a sense of familiarity, and comfortability and help them feel relaxed and ready for the day ahead. By the end-we're great friends! My hope with every session I have is that you'll find not only the pictures beautiful but the shared experience one to remember as well.

Kaitlin did a fantastic job capturing my wedding day. She got along so well with everyone in the wedding party which made shooting a blast. Her work is outstanding, she is so easy to work with, and I would recommend her to everyone.

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Adam Kent is the epitome of a wedding photography professional. His unparalleled skills behind the lens are matched only by his engaging and direct personality. Couples immediately feel at ease with him, thanks to his fun demeanor. Adam's adept communication throughout the day is crucial for navigating such significant moments amidst the excitement of friends and family. He seamlessly keeps everyone in sync and on schedule.

Amanda is such an amazing photographer. Our wedding photos are beautiful, bright, and filled with so much happiness. She was very easy to work with, from the beginning (booking our date) to the end (delivering our photos, with an easy download link), not to mention her website is beautiful! Amanda took both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She made taking all of our (thousands of) photos feel so easy. While taking our engagements she would ask my husband and I cute questions, or say quirky things that would just bring out our smiles, and I never felt more comfortable getting my picture taken. She has an eye for beautiful shots. We got married at a gorgeous lake, with a mountain backdrop, and I figured we wouldn't be able to capture the beauty of all of it. She proved me wrong and did it over and over again! Amanda is an amazing person, artist, and professional! WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH OUR PHOTOS!!

Hey, hi, hello! My name is Nancy Chhin, I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I grew up in Southern California, I visited Oregon once and fell in love! I’m totally a kid at heart, so much so that I still have a giant stuffed shark on my bed and my favorite food will forever be cheesy fries. I’m the type of person that will say hello to every dog I meet on the street and freak out when I see a dog hanging their head out of their persons car or when I see cows grazing while driving down the backroads. I'm a huge lover of the outdoors and quiet mornings with a huge cup of coffee and reading on the balcony.

I had the great opportunity of working with Nancy as our photographer. Nancy picked the location and time. The area she chose was beautiful and had great potential. She was punctual and extremely inviting. Her energy was vibrant and she was great with her directions. There was never a dull moment and she made the experience memorable. Anyone that is looking for amazing photos, great atmosphere and a professional photographer, Nancy is the perfect person for you.

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

We highly recommend Nick for all of your photography needs. We had an intimate wedding on a friend's balcony, Nick did a great job of getting photos of everyone in the family in different settings throughout the day. He had great ideas and even had us walk down the street to an open lot and got some great outdoor/natural photos. The most special photos we have are the ones in which he truly captured the emotion of the moment, we will cherish them for our lifetime. Thanks Nick!!

I’m here to photograph ear-to-ear smiles, tight bear hugs, wild dance moves, and all of the fleeting moments that show us just how hard humans love one another. In the over four-hundred weddings I’ve documented, I’ve come to realize one thing: we hold onto memories and cherish photos because they allow us to remember a time when we were enveloped with a special kind of love.

I am so grateful to have had the pleasure to work with Natalie twice! The first time I met her she photographed my friend's wedding in Hood River and when I saw the wedding photos it truly felt like the representation of that day. filled with joy and love. After searching endlessly for a photographer i was recommended to Natalie twice and when we got to speak she asked such intentional questions about our love story, what photography means to us, and photos that mean so much to us. the conversation moved me and i knew i wanted a photographer that could capture the emotion and joy of that day.. and she was sure she did. She understood we didn't really want overly styled/editorial photos and wanted more time to spend with our loved ones. Our French-Mexican wedding was beautiful and I'm so grateful that Natalie captured such beautiful moments.

I practice photography professionally , as well as continue to document the many people and places from my travels. I love to capture moments and tell stories in a captivating , creative and organic way.

She worked closely with us to understand our vision and preferences, and went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the final photos. On the day of the wedding, Sabrina arrived early and captured every moment, from my bridesmaids and I getting ready, to the ceremony & party, & everything in between. The candid photos are some of my absolute favorites! She has a keen eye for framing and lighting, and her photos truly captured the joy and romance of the day. Most importantly - she made us (especially my camera shy husband) feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and the final photos were absolutely beautiful.

Hello! My name is Emily and I have been a photographer since 2015. I have found my passion in photography through all the little moments of your big day. I'm inspired to make you feel at ease and stress free for a fun day of shooting. I have a laid back shooting style that helps capture moments you will treasure for lifetime memories. I am an open communicator and love hearing your ideas. I am happy to go above and beyond for your session and magnify the small details. Please take a look at my photos for my work and ways to contact me. Thank you! P.S. Love knows no limits and I’m here for it! Currently no travel fees!

Emily did everything she could to work with our budget and even though she did, it DID NOT mean I was sacrificing quality. She came and did my engagement photos in San Luis Obispo (where we got engaged) and then drove to Yosemite for the big day! She is an absolute joy to be around and such a nice person. Her photos made me feel beautiful! She really does well in capturing the candid moments. I would 100% call her again for any life event in the future!

We have worked with Christina many times for our pictures and I promise you, we won’t go anywhere else ever again! The first time we did pictures with Christina she made us feel SO comfortable and she was so professional guiding us on what poses to do (because we had no idea), you feel like you’ve known her your entire life right when you first meet her. If you want absolutely stunning pictures, and a fantastic experience Christina of Juniper woods is the way to go, I cannot recommend her enough!

Are you looking for a photographer that feels more like a friend? One that makes you comfortable when posing and documents natural laughs? Oh hey! You found me! What is my style? I'm a candid and VIBRANT photographer. How would my friends describe me? Bubbly, loyal, and hilarious. Okay, maybe they don't tell me I'm hilarious but I laugh at my own jokes.

Strongly recommend working with Kaitlyn for your wedding photos-- we are so pleased with how the photos from our wedding turned out. I don't know how, but Kaitlyn captured just about every moment to a "t". Even reviewing our photos, we caught so many moments we missed the day of. So grateful we had such a professional and well-equipped photog in our corner on our special day-- it allowed us to kick back and enjoy ourselves, and I'm *SO* glad we put our faith in her. One note-- when working with Kaitlyn, she'll ask you to fill out a survey before your event. I'm so glad she did, because it got us thinking about what our priorities were before our wedding day, and every single photo we could've wanted or asked for is there! She even managed to corral our very camera-shy dog.

WOW, I really could not recommend Jordan enough. I know that our wedding day would not have flowed as smoothly without her. She kept our schedule together when I was too stressed to think straight. And her expertise SHOWS in all of her photos. She truly felt like a friend throughout the whole process and I look forward to booking another studio shoot with her sometime soon! (A studio shoot came with our wedding package. So amazing!) Seriously BOOK HER.
