Our wedding business started out with me shooting a wedding video for a very dear friend of mine in 2017. I posted the video to a Facebook business page and BOOM! It received 200,000 views and we started receiving hundreds of inquiries from couples around the PNW. Every year I would book 30-40 weddings doing photos and videos for couples. When COVID struck, we had a year crashing into the next year. We had to adapt. So I grew our company to 8 teams of pro photographers/videographers to cover weddings around the US. There is nothing better than capturing love on the biggest day ever. Every day we are thankful to be able to do this.

Or maybe you treasure those ordinary moments others take for granted. It’s possible you’ve realized one of the coolest things in the world would be to take a minute of your relationship, capture it, exaggerate it, make it art, tack it to your fridge, or parade it on Instagram & count the comments. Or maybe you want to blow it up huge and make a statement on your wall like ‘Hell yeah babe, that’s us!’ Yep, if you like my work, we’re probably a lot alike. Let’s get together.

We are a Husband & Wife team currently based in SoCal but will travel to Las Vegas as well as any other state in the U.S. What is “The Lou Effect”? Well The Lou Effect is actually a quote my wife would say to me before going to shoots. Before heading out she’d always say “show them that Lou effect”, so from there the name was born. Essentially the goal is to always make every shoot as creatively unique as possible, by showcasing key moments from small details to those big wowing moments to truly tell your days story. But ultimately the desired “Effect” is to leave our clients with smiles on their faces and satisfaction in their hearts.

From the moment you inquire, to the day I send you your goods, i’ll be over using the exclamation point! Some say that’s overly enthusiastic, but life is so much better this way.

When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks. I got my first film camera when I was 8, and it was love at first sight. Capturing your story is more than just a job for me. From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

We were just married on November 4th, 2022 and are in love with the work that Adam has done. His attention to detail and to our needs and wants as a couple were top of the line and he quickly became more than just our wedding photographer, we consider him a friend as well. He took the time to make sure he photographed the details of our wedding that were most important to us and he went above and beyond the role of photographer, making sure we had everything we needed and that we were satisfied. His assistant photographer was also wonderful to work with. If you are looking for someone to capture you and your partners love in real time, there is no one better than Adam. He is not only highly skilled at what he does, he is one of the most kind and thoughtful human beings we have met and we are thankful to have had him on the mostb important day of our lives so far!

When I was searching for a wedding photographer, I wanted to find someone who not only captured beautiful images and edited them in a style I love, but I also wanted to find someone who would make me feel comfortable and special – Melissa checked every single one of these boxes. I immediately knew when I looked through her images on her website that Melissa was an artist who admired and celebrated all people. This level of inclusivity and care made me feel instantly connected to her and her work. After our initial meeting, I knew she was going to be the perfect choice to capture our special day. At both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, Melissa was focused, organized, fun, professional, and made us feel so comfortable and seen. Her customer service was also unmatched. From offering payment plans to being so kind and understanding when we had to move our wedding date due to the pandemic, she was a dream to have on our vendor team!

You’ve got the ring, found the dream destination or venue, definitely at least thought about the dress - now all you have to do is find THE photographer. The one who’s down to travel, down to party, and most of all, down to help you perfect alllll the details of your dream day. I’ve been photographing intimate weddings in Ohio + beyond for the last 10 years - there’s nothing I don’t know about getting hitched, and nothing I don’t love about it.

We chose Kayla for our wedding photos back in 2019 and since then have used her for our Anniversary, maternity, and family photos! I knew from our engagement session we made the best choice. She truly goes above and beyond to make your vision come to life. She is so talented and adds in her creativity into every shot! She makes the environment so comfortable and does an amazing job at instructing poses that don't look posed in the final product! She is adventurous, creative, kind, humorous, and passionate! I would recommend Kayla time and time again! You won't be disappointed!

When I am not hidden behind my camera, you can find me hiking up a new mountain with my fur babies, eating tacos, or spending quality time with my little family. I started out capturing families, then realized that my heart is completely drawn to love & the bond that two people share. I describe my photography as bold, intimate & sincere.

Hi, I'm Katy! I've been a photographer and videographer for over 17 years and I love working with couples to create beautiful, artistic photos and films! My visual style tends to be soft with bright lighting, earthy/vibrant tones, a shallow depth of field (blurred backgrounds and foregrounds), and a mix of prompted and candid poses. My energy tends to be pretty calming, which can help people look and feel more natural in their photos and on video.

My style is rooted in a editorial and documentary approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that capture genuine emotions. I prioritize unscripted moments, such as the reaction of your spouse as you walk up the aisle, the inside joke that makes you break out in laughter or the tears as your loved ones share thoughtful memories during toasts. These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lucia is the photographer you want at your wedding. She was a gem leading up to the day and a wonderful cheerleader and support on the day. Her photos are the ONLY pictures I have ever liked of myself. As a plus-size bride, that is saying something. Her attention to detail as she captured the unique features of our day are so special! Having someone you can trust to capture all the work you have put in is important, and Lucia showed up and absolutely gave it her all! We highly recommend Lucia, and we hope to work with her again for additional photoshoots!

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

I have to say that Jennifer and her assistant will forever be our Wedding Day Heroes. They arrived on time, they were professional from start to finish, and so kind to me and my family. I'm pretty sure they overheard my wedding day meltdown (I hope not) but they kept on pushing and made the whole day feel special. We didn't have a wedding party and I totally forgot about bustling my gown so Jennifer and her assistant got down on their hands and knees in the blistering heat in the Garden of my ceremony site and bustled my 15 button bustle. #weddinddayheros! At the reception they sat amongst our friends and family and fit right in. It was awesome. Their presence was so seamless, they are so genuine. If you feel like you might need a wedding day hero Jennifer and Captured Couture is definitely the way to go. She was able to provide us with a site with specific pictures of our choosing to share with out guest via a secure link. Our pictures came out beautifully. The album and metal prints we also gorgeous. Great quality. ENGAGEMENT SESSION/INITIAL MEETING REVIEW Jennifer is amazing. My partner and I discovered Captured Couture by looking for photographers who had done wedding at our venue (The Whitney-Detroit) and we couldn't be more excited to have Jennifer capture our wedding day. Jennifer is the best and I can't stress that enough. WE are having a small/intimate wedding and she came prepared with different packages to offer us based on what we asked for and our budget. We saw some of her work at our first meeting and her work was really good-a lot better than other work we'd seen from other photographers. My fiance, who is usually a hard sell, was sold on having Jennifer as our wedding photographer and so was I. During the next few months we worked with Jennifer to schedule our engagement session. We are very busy, and the weather was not working with us but luckily Jennifer was very accommodating. Our engagement shoot went off without a hitch. My partner and I are kind of camera shy but Jennifer made us feel like naturals and our pictures came out great. Before we left the shoot she showed us one of the pictures and we were in amazed at how incredible the picture looked. Jennifer is the BOMB.COM

There are not enough words I can say about Gabe--he has been an absolute dream to work with! Literally anything that could've been thrown at him, he went with it, and executed beautifully!!! My wedding date changed THREE times because of COVID, and he was always willing and flexible to find the perfect date for him and all of my vendors. My wedding was also outside in Miami, FL in early April. Normally, our weather is pretty good and beautiful evenings are almost guaranteed. Instead, we had a storm unlike any other storm I have seen in YEARS (outside of hurricane season). There were TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS in our outdoor/indoor wedding, and Gabe somehow managed to get the most incredible photos EVER. We really emphasized just how much we wanted the pictures to be honest and candid, and the gallery he sent us is literally the essence of that. He truly captured all of the craziness, last-minute changes, fun, and love from our day. Gabe was so friendly, so easy to get to know, and we wouldn't have wanted any one else to be our photographer. So, what are you waiting for?! Book him for your next event!!! He'll be there, come rain or shine...and especially rain. :)

Once I photographed my first wedding I was smitten. Now over a decade later I still absolutely love what I do. I am passionate about creating beautiful photographs that are sincere, meaningful, full of emotion, and feel like you. I want you to be able to look back on your wedding photographs year after year and remember all the emotions - the laughter, the tears of joy, and the love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stacie photographed our engagements, rehearsal, wedding, and my bridals. I can sit here and attempt to describe her talent and passion for photography but words wouldn’t do it justice. Her work speaks for itself. I used her photos for our save the dates, thank you cards, Christmas cards, and even managed to create an all black & white gallery wall in our house and continuously have people asking me who took these incredible shots. I’ve even been told that “these photos look like something straight out of VOGUE” I can’t make that up. But Stacie is so accommodating and makes you feel comfortable to just be yourself which translates in your photos. The day of rehearsal and wedding she was an absolute ROCKSTAR. She has such a calming presence when emotions are running high and really took on more than the photographer role. Stacie was the heart beat of the show and kept us on track, while capturing it all!! She never skipped a beat. Her turn around time is also something to be noted. After each session she always sent a sneak peek in what seemed like just a few days and then you would receive the whole album of the session shortly after, not to mention how easy she makes the process of accessing and downloading your photos. Do yourself a favor and book Vitae Weddings. We’re forever grateful we did!

Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be!

My heart beats for photographing a story worth telling, and finding the funny, quirky, moving little moments throughout that narrative.

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Heather was a fantastic photographer and really spent the time with us to take all of the photos we wanted. From beginning to end it was flawless knowing she was there and always close by to get some candid unplanned photos that were in the moment. I was able to call her name and get her to come take a photo with my 91 year old grandmother spontaneously without missing a beat. There were 2 brides for this wedding (myself and my now wife) and she made sure to make us both equally feel important and special and took all the photos we wanted and more of us together and separately (when we were getting ready) and also made our dog Jax feel special because he was apart of the wedding also. She was one of the best photographers I have worked with, and I work with them every day in the fashion world, and mainly wanted to hire a really great wedding photographer like Heather, and we are so glad we did! She is excellent and I highly recommend hiring her for your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot even begin to describe how amazing it was to work with Jacqueline for our wedding this past weekend. She was extremely easy-going, communicative, professional, and always quick to respond for the entire year leading up to our wedding. So it came as no surprise that on our wedding day she absolutely crushed it. She captured our day so seamlessly. She was never in the way, never made us uncomfortable and just blended into the background in all the right ways. She made the wedding party and family photos process quick and painless which I know from experience can sometimes prove to be a disaster or just unorganized and chaotic at weddings. I was even MORE blown away when she delivered some photos the morning after our wedding after probably being up super late after getting home from our wedding. Talk about going above and beyond and exceeding expectations!!! I could not have asked for a better photographer to play such a huge part in our big day and I would recommend Jacqueline to ANYONE. Thank you so much Jacqueline!!!!! - Ben and Lindsay

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a lover of art, stories, and spark—the perfect alchemy to creating and capturing all those memory-making, magical moments. Weddings, to me, are about your unique narrative, your origin stories and your threads of connection; the ways in which you’ve woven a love through a tapestry of compassion and inspiration and all that makes you you— both as individuals and as a couple. That’s the fabric of the photo, the material I like to work with; because of this, my photos lean atmospheric and candid.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah (the photographer) was kind, a calm presence, flexible with her schedule, and a great "fly on the wall" photographer. We loved that she was able to be present for a lot or a little of our big day, and that she got great photos without it feeling rushed or invasive. She was excellent at taking shots without blocking peoples view or interrupting sweet and poignant moments. She was also easy talk to in person and by phone, very professional and punctual, and was clear about the time she would need to take the photos we wanted. I loved most of her photos, but I have her an overall 4 because a few of them were in a style I don't love: the overexposed, pale, old fashioned looking style. If that is what you're into, though, Hannah is the perfect photographer for you and it will be 5 stars all the way!

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

Tammy is my number one, favorite photographer to work with and the only person who can actually help me relax on a wedding day. I can trust her completely. I never need to worry about where she is, if she's getting the shot, or if she's shooting enough variety. She knows exactly what she's doing from extensive experience and she treats weddings with the same gravity as if it were her own day. Some of my favorite images of all time are just that due to Tammy's ability to read a room and complete the story. She continually brings new skills and her own innovation into every event, which I love to keep up with on her social media. Tammy gets so many compliments in part due to her skill and professionalism, but also because of the energy and perfectionism she will bring to your day. I can't say enough great things about having Tammy as a photographer.

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

Hey Yall, I'm Jenna! I was born and raised in Houston, Texas but I've spent the last 7 years working in the wedding capitol of the world, Vegas baby. I'm back in the Lone Star State and I brought the Vegas flare with me! If you're looking for someone out of the ordinary, you've come to the right gal. I specialize in unique styled sessions, wild elopements and groovy weddings. Get in touch and we'll work together to create something as rad as you.

Nate proposed on December 1, 2018 and we already had a trip to Las Vegas planned that same month. We decided to tie the knot while on vacation and I planned our desert sunset wedding/elopement in 8 days. Jenna came as a recommendation from our officiant. (Also from Las Vegas-thank you Pinterest/Google!) we are a little out of the box and I was assured Jenna would match our vision. Her communication was top notch during the contract process and since my hubby and I wouldn’t be renting a car, she offered to drive us from our Downtown Las Vegas photo shoot with her (pre ceremony) to our ceremony destination, El Dorado Dry Lake Bed. She also then drove us back to the Flamingo where we were staying. It really was meant to be that we found Jenna! An old soul wrapped in a cute lighting bolt jumpsuit. (I love Elvis and that spoke right to me!) Jenna met us in downtown Las Vegas (Old Vegas) and walked us around to multiple historic buildings, hotels, motels, casinos, parking lots, parks and art districts. Her knowledge of the area was on point and her passion for the city was apparent. We honestly felt like we made a friend that day. We had a very quick turn around time with our photos and we were (and still are) absolutely blown away. Jenna captured our day, and more importantly US, perfectly. I get compliments almost daily on my social platforms and I still scroll through them on a regular basis! We can not say enough good things about Jenna! She’s the perfect photographer for the out of the box bride AND the most traditional bride. Her eye is magical and she sees beauty in everything. I wanted magical Las Vegas wedding memories and Jenna far far surpassed my imagination! She’s a true gem. Thanks again girl! You’re literally the best! We can’t wait to come back and do a re-shoot!

It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots.

Hi I’m Taylor Anne! She/her! I’m a published editorial fashion and wedding photographer based out of Dallas, Texas! I knew for certain that I wanted to be a photographer on a trip to Paris with my mom in 2005. I had a small little point and shoot digital camera that I used to take photos of literally everything around the city. I got artistic with the sunset over the Seine, and caught a couple having a romantic moment on the bridge. It was then that I said to myself, “Oh, I actually kind of like this,” and began the process of photographing for the next 16 years.

We got married almost a year ago at this point and we cannot begin to describe how great working with Taylor was. She was always SO on top of everything. She is incredibly prompt with her responses and was able to answer any questions we had. Scheduling with her was a breeze (even when the weather never cooperated with us & we had to reschedule engagement photos). She used many different photography styles (digital, film, etc.). Our photos & videos turned out BEAUTIFUL! She is truly an artist!!! We adore her timeless style and eye for the finest details. She captured our day exactly how we had envisioned. We will cherish these special photos for the rest of our lives and look forward to working with Taylor again in the future!

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is AMAZING. She did our engagement photos and I cannot speak highly enough. She was so cool to work with, had a great eye for location, and was so fantastic with coordinating our forever-awkward selves to get some incredible shots. We both get very anxious on camera but she made the whole experience so safe and welcoming that we ended up having a so much fun. Her communication throughout has been absolute top tier - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way - and the end result is beyond our wildest dreams. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

I cannot thank Sufia enough, for the beautiful photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. I was so nervous to take photos, as I hate having my photo taken at all, that I delayed it for so long. Now, I wish I hadn’t! I’m just seriously blown away, Sufia made me feel like a model! And she was able to capture the love we have for one another in every photo. Not only is she obviously gifted with a talent to really capture people at their most beautiful, but she is such a wonderful person to I have to say I can’t recommend Sufia Huq Portraits highly enough. She has photographed so many important milestones for my family but she truly rose above and beyond all of my expectations as a wedding photographer. I initially hired Sufia for my engagement photos but after seeing how perfect they turned out, I knew she was the only person I could trust with my wedding! On the day of my wedding it truly felt like everything was going wrong. It was raining. I got second degree burns on my chest from a steamer. I had vendors threatening to leave and the catering company stealing my food. The ONE thing that eased the stress of that day was my incredible photographer. Despite how stressed I was, Sufia managed to bring me back into the moment and to capture timeless portraits of my wedding day with my husband, closest friends, and family. When I look back through the photos of my wedding day (which I do often because I’m obsessed), I don’t think about all of the craziness. I think about those precious moments Sufia captured for me. Sufia was more than just a photographer that day. She was a cheerleader. She was a hype woman. She was a friend. She was more than just accommodating. She was flexible. She was dependable. She was KIND. Sufia is an amazing human being with an amazing talent. A wedding day is a huge deal. Sufia Huq Portraits will not disappoint in quality or in kindness.
