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
Isaac went above and beyond! We had him for both our engagements photos and wedding. My husband and I are not big on taking photos and he made us feel so comfortable. Got all the shots we wanted and was a true fly on the wall. We got so many compliments! Highly recommend! You can trust him to capture the most important life events in the best light. Thank you Isaac! Cheers!

Wedding/ Elopement photographer based in Carmel, CA and available worldwide! I first got started in photography five years ago and have been in love with it ever since. Lover of coffee, the ocean and hiking!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nadeen's artistic eye, natural talent and knowledge of photography created the most magical wedding and engagement photos we ever could have asked for, completely exceeding our expectations! We worked with Nadeen for about 8 months in 2023 leading up to our September wedding in Big Sur, CA. She was kind enough to meet us in person 7 months before the wedding for engagement photos (even on a rainy/windy day in Big Sur!) which helped us get to know her and become more comfortable with what to expect for being photographed on the actual wedding day. Nadeen did a great job guiding us on how to look natural for our photos and made us feel super comfortable being photographed. On our wedding day, Nadeen was there every step of the way and captured our day beautifully. It was a pleasure to have her there and she did a great job of keeping us on track, making sure we captured all photos we wanted, and even took us on an extra special excursion to a separate location for sunset photos. From the wedding shots, to the priceless candids, stunning detail shots, and variety of natural light, flash, black and white photos, every single image was taken with thought and love and turned out beautifully. We had the best time working with and getting to know Nadeen. It felt like we were just hanging out with friends! Cannot recommend Nadeen enough for your wedding, engagement or any other event where you may be looking for a photographer!

Nothing felt unnatural. We are so happy with the end results! Beautifully presented and everything we ever wanted.

Michelle Alexandra Photography

Salinas, CA
  • Editorial style

Michelle Alexandra is a wedding and editorial photographer based in Monterey, Ca and has traveled across the US to capture some of the most beautiful love stories and fashion editorials. Michelle is passionate about creating imagery that is authentic, emotional, and timeless. With a love for fashion and editorial imagery, Michelle has become know for her unique take on wedding photography. You can see it in her compositions, her use of lighting and the way she captures her subjects. Her work has been published in magazines such as People, Marie Claire, Elle, Dare Magazine and most recently Harper's Bazaar.

There are so many things I loved about working with Michelle. She is a super easygoing person and has a calming demeanor that made us feel really comfortable when taking our photos. She was on top of her stuff; always prepared and even going above and beyond like traveling to shooting locations and showing up early to capture photos, like during our welcome pool party, that weren’t even included in our contract. She is extremely talented; her shooting and editing style is perfect in my opinion for wedding photos - soft, clean, and timeless that will never go out of style. And she is just a lovely person in general. Let her work speak louder than these words though - seriously, just check out her website or instagram photos and you will see what I mean. With both our engagement and wedding photos, we were overwhelmed with how many we loved which made choosing which to share and print so hard! That’s definitely a problem you want to have :) Thank you so so much for everything, Michelle. We loved working with you and appreciate everything you did for us more than we can ever say! These photos will be a constant reminder of the love and fun we felt throughout our engagement period and wedding. If we could get married again and start all over, we would do it without hesitation and would choose to work with you every single time.

Anna is an incredible photographer! From our very first phone consultation to the big day, she made the whole process feel seamless and effortless. We had a very small, intimate wedding with immediate family but still found ourselves nervous about having everything come together. Anna eased our nerves when it came to the prep and logistics, secured the photography permit for our dream first look location, and graciously guided us through the day step by step. She helped my husband and I to feel more comfortable in front of the camera than I ever thought possible. When we received our gallery I could not stop looking through the photos!

My approach to wedding photography is one part editorial and one part sentimental candids.

You will have a fun & joyful experience and receive natural-looking, artful photos that look like they belong in a magazine. My edit is a bright, true-to-color crisp edit. I care deeply about skin tones looking true to life, and my edit is centered around that.

She had previews to us the very next day, and all of our friends and family RAVED about them, calling the photos magazine quality. She is the best decision we made for our wedding day.

Cheers, you did it! You went from wildly in-love to newly engaged. It’s such a special time in life and you want to capture every fleeting moment. Your wedding photographer will be with you during some of your most cherished moments. So, finding someone with a personality that brings out the best in yours is essential. This is the part where we become fast friends. There is something so intimate and longstanding about being by someone’s side on their wedding day, and I can’t get enough of that feeling.

Sasha ha a beautiful body of work, however what sets her apart is her aptitude for connecting with clients and creating an environment in which perfect moments are made and captured. Her bright personality is encouraging and grounding, and her direction creates images the speak for themselves.

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

**PSA: Please inquire via website instead of through Zola!** I'm Brittney, a wedding and portrait photographer from Los Angeles. I'm a houseplant enthusiast, traveler (no place is too far), enneagram 4, binge-watcher of The Office, ice cream lover, and introvert fascinated by human emotion + connection. Photographing weddings has truly been my dream job, and I feel so honored every time I'm invited to capture intimate moments in peoples’ lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittney is EVERYTHING. She shot my sister’s shore wedding and delivered such gorgeous photos, we knew we needed her for our wedding! We were married in Punta Cana and Brittney made all the photography/destination logistics SO EASY. Looking at our photos, you would have no idea that Brittney only saw the location the day before our wedding. She captured the beach location perfectly. But where Brittney truly sets herself apart from other photographers is in her ability to capture candid moments. Looking through our wedding album is so emotional because the photos perfectly reflect how everyone was feeling throughout the day. And finally, I cannot write a review that captures her skill without mentioning her as a person. Brittney is kind, fun, and sensitive. She has such a calm presence during your wedding that she disappears into the background (this is how she is able to capture so many candid moments). Since my wedding, she has continued to be a thoughtful friend who is always down for a coffee date. I love Brittney. Hiring her was the single most important decision I made for my wedding!

Eli Holmes Photo + Film

2.0

Block Island, RI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

Since we didn't have enough time on preparation (month only), we couldn't meet with them in advance to discuss what exactly we were looking for, but let me tell you, the real professionals do not need any guidance.

I believe that love inspires art. Your wedding day will most likely be a blur of joy, nerves, and excitement with some extraordinary moments in between. Using both film and digital mediums, I balance a combination of both editorial and photojournalistic styles with a fine art approach. This collaboration will allow you both to fully enjoy each and every moment, as we tell the story of your wedding day. Wedding photography is an investment that lasts a lifetime, it’s the part of your wedding day that lives on. This is your love story, told in a classic, authentic, and timeless way.

Here is your super sweet review: My husband and I love our engagement and wedding photos! I especially loved working with her as she is organized, professional, warm, so enthusiastic, and passionate about what she does!! She was also encouraging and made us feel comfortable during our engagement/maternity photo session and wedding day. I am so happy she was there on our wedding day, as she was a joy to be around and all of her pictures she sent us are beautiful!

June of 2012. Just two months after my mom was critically injured and hospitalized. I began using my camera as an emotional outlet. I started taking portraits for family and friends, and eventually, photographed a courthouse wedding. As time went on, it hit me: These photos are freaking important! And I knew from personal experience that these moments, & the people in them, aren't going to be here forever. That camera became so much more than an outlet. It gave me purpose. And now I see my job as an act of service to you. I'm honored to use my talents and skills to deliver what really matters: TANGIBLE MEMORIES OF YOU & THE ONES YOU LOVE

Everywhere I went, my camera allowed me to capture the story behind the people I met & the cultures I observed. I bring the same drive to my wedding photography, where every couple, every family, and all the cultures and traditions I come across, have a different story to tell, and I have the privilege to witness and capture it all!

Photographing elopements happened by chance for me, but once I did my first one, I realized what an amazing experience it was for my couples. Having played a role on so many big wedding days, I realized there was so much my couples were missing out on. The stand out was the pace of the day and time spent with each other! I learned elopements moved at a much slower pace and that those couples had so much more time with each other. They are free to mark the date at a location that really speaks to them, and without a guest list (or a small one) they were so much more free to celebrate the way that left them feeling the most content.

Joleen is one of my favorite photographers in my area. Every wedding and shoot I have worked with her has been a great experience. She provides a high level of professionalism to her brides and is sensitive to every clients needs on the day. Joleen knows exactly how to make her clients feel at ease and relaxed in front of the camera while capturing the most important moments.

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (over 2 years after my engagement photos were taken) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Betsy all the love and praise she deserves. Betsy photographed our engagement photos and would have done our wedding as well if she wasn’t already booked. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Betsy previously and she was always so fun, easy to work with and matched my energy on every level! She gets so excited when she knows she is ‘getting the shot’ that you can’t help but get excited too. I had a very specific vision for our engagement photos and she was 100% on board to make it happen. I love the photos so much and will treasure them forever as they document a very exciting time in our lives. I absolutely love working with Betsy and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

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.

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.

Adam's work was truly exceptional. He came all the way to Milwaukee to capture and celebrate our beautiful LGBTQ wedding. He was incredibly friendly, approachable, and genuinely interested in making our wedding day unforgettable. He was always available to answer any questions and quickly responded to our emails and calls. Adam was organized and professional on the wedding day, which allowed us to enjoy our special day without worrying about anything. Throughout the wedding, guests kept approaching us to say how fantastic our photographer was. Adam's talent and creativity are truly unmatched. His ability to capture the emotions and moments of our wedding day was incredible. He has an excellent eye for detail and can make even the most minor things look stunning. When we received his previews that weekend, we were brought to tears by how beautifully he had captured our special day. We are incredibly grateful to Adam for his hard work, dedication, and passion for photography. He has given us memories that we will cherish forever.

I will do my best to stop those moments in time for you to experience forever. I am witty, goofy, sarcastic, open-minded, & honest. I will be your ultimate third wheel.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin. How do you write something as simple as an online review for someone who memorialized your wedding day in pure, authentic, gallery-worthy art? Can I give her ten stars? A hundred stars? It wouldn't be enough. We chose Emily as our photographer based on a few internet searches and vibes, and the vibes were so right. We went with the Topaz Package, so we initially met Emily for our engagement session. She immediately made us feel so relaxed, calm, and (best of all) photogenic. My husband and I were the type that never photographed well, but Emily made it happen. We went to several locations downtown Pittsburgh, and we never felt rushed or awkward for asking for certain poses or sharing ideas. I was so nervous to receive the images from the engagement shoot, but when I did, my jaw was on the floor. With our package, we also added on night-before coverage and a second shooter, which I HIGHLY recommend. Emily and David went above, beyond, and to infinity with the care and attention they gave us on our wedding weekend. Emily and I FaceTimed a few weeks out from the wedding to go through details and timeline and the picture list. Emily and David truly listened to everything that we wanted, and they made it happen. We were married in Heinz Chapel and had our reception at the Carnegie Museum of Art, and our focus was documentary-style, artistic photos. Let me tell you -- they DELIVERED. We cannot stop looking at our gallery. I've tried to pick 5 photos to get printed, but I cannot narrow it down past 164. On the personal side of things, Emily was so so supportive of every choice we made at our wedding. There was no judgment, no persuasion, she was 100% our hype girl the whole weekend (which as an anxious bride I appreciated so much). Emily brought the fun, the vibes, the party, but also she kept us on schedule when I got distracted and she ensured that we did get all of our requested photos. Her and David were essential in orchestrating our first look (which occurred at an open and quite busy art museum). Emily also kept me very calm when we were running late to said first look (and even helped buckle me into my garter belt -- a true queen). Our literal only regret is not having them there longer. I couldn't recommend Emily enough for ANY photoshoot you need; and my advice: do the big package. Do the engagement session, and the boudoir session, and the night before session, and any other chance you get to have Emily photograph you, because you won't regret it. I can't wait for our 1 year anniversary when we get to drag her back to the art museum with us.

Laura was absolutely amazing to work with. We got in touch with her a little less than a month before our wedding and didn't meet her until the day of (because we live out of state). None of that was a problem though, because she knows what she is doing and coordinates and communicates everything very well. She truly is an excellent photographer who is flexible and wants to do what she can to help make your day go as smoothly as possible. Plus, she is so nice, and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. You can definitely expect your photos within the timeframe she provides. 7 months later, we still get compliments on her photos.
