Kelly McDaniel was a joy to work with! Choosing a photographer for a life event as important as your wedding is a scary thing. I searched through many profiles before deciding to go with Kelly and I am so thankful that I did! Right from the start she was quick to respond and continued an open and stress-free line of communication. I never felt like she was too busy to answer any of my many questions. She met me and my now Husband in person before the wedding so we could get to know each other before hand. She offered so much great advice but also really worked with me on the ideas I had in my mind for the big day. Not only was she a delight to work with but she sent us a highlight reel of photos from the wedding just days after! The photos are breathtaking and everything we hoped for. I will definitely be using Kelly again for any important life events that I want to capture!

I'm so happy I hired Adam to photograph our wedding. He was on time, organized, thoughtful about the shots and poses, and did a great job of capturing both posed and candid moments. I really appreciated the flexibility and time he took to make sure he got quality shots of us and experimented with views and looks. I love the portraits - the color, clarity, and composition were so good in my opinion. My favorites were the sunset shots - the lighting was perfect and the photos capture the mood perfectly. The photos took less than a month to receive which was a pleasant surprise, and he had a sneak peek within a week which I really appreciated as I was excited to see the work! He also brought along a videographer (haven't received the video yet as that takes longer) who worked in tandem with the team. So excited to see those! If you want a photographer who is communicative and attentive to you as a couple, professional with professional equipment, creative with a good eye and takes quality photos for a reasonable price, look no further. He and his team worked well with the wedding day-of-coordinator and DJ to make sure that we got all the moments we needed. Thank you Adam for the great work on our wedding!

Aladdin Films made our wedding day absolutely enchanting! My cousin got married and used their service, I’ve never seen a more passionate person when she described their service. She was 100% correct. They went above and beyond with customer service and captured our wedding in a way that brings us back to our special day every time we look at our pictures and videos. I don’t know how, because I’m not a photographer, but they’ve managed to shoot the most special and important moments of our wedding day from so many different angles, and each of those photos can be easily put in a frame or on a canvas. That’s what I did actually. It was quite difficult to decide which photo to put on canvas because there were so many of them. We booked them for 8 hours, and they gave us more than 1200 photos, and we were left absolutely speechless. My advice to all couples out there is don’t think twice and book them as soon as you can.

I am an artist and a hopeless romantic. For me, taking photos has always been a way to not only express myself but to connect with the people around me. Documenting life and love has become second nature to me over the last 5 years as a wedding photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dominic is a true gem! My fiance, (now husband) and I are timid in front of the camera but Dominic was able to capture the best of us anyways. We first did an engagement shoot with him where he braved the storms and wind with us to complete some amazing photos. He was able to make us feel so comfortable and capture all the right moments to bring to life our love on film. Shooting at the wedding was even more incredible. On a day that is already hectic and full of nerves, Dominic brought the calm and the fun as we shot all our photos throughout the night. His patience, humor, creativity, and amazing eye made the experience absolutely wonderful! I can't recommend him enough! HIRE HIM!

Book Sarah now!! My fiance hired Sarah for a surprise proposal photoshoot and a 1-hour engagement session after. Every step of the way, Sarah was excellent! She was quick to respond to my fiance and coordinated everything seamlessly. Once I arrived at the spot, she was discreet to not ruin the surprise. When we finally met for the longer shoot, I was instantly at ease. Taking engagement pictures is awkward- posing, PDA, being overly excited about everything- and Sarah was great at handling everything! She was easy to talk to, had tons of great ideas, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. From making sure I could handle certain types of terrain in my shoes to ensuring that my short dress would be fine for any lift photos, she was professional and prepared every step of the way. Sarah shot our photos on Sunday; by the time we were sitting at dinner an hour later, she had sent us 5 pictures already edited. By Monday we had a gif, and by Thursday we had the entire gallery. Not only are the pictures gorgeous, but Sarah's efficiency, professionalism, and outstanding quality made such a difference for us. We are so lucky to have worked with her and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone! Thank you so much, Sarah, for being a part of one of the most special days of our lives!

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

Lerina was amazing. Her photography speaks for itself. She captures the natural beauty of film without the tacky editing that has become so common. She perfected this timeless look on film and digital. What really impressed me was how she hit every single photo request and was both firm in her direction but also kind. She is a true production manager as well as an incredible photographer. We're lucky to have found her.

I can't say enough good things about Cherry! As a wedding officiant, I always tell my couples that Cherry is like a butterfly - she takes photos without you even noticing she's doing it. Because of that, the marriage ceremonies are intimate. She knows every nook and cranny of the historic Santa Barbara Courthouse and all the best beaches. Cherry has taken gorgeous photos in most very venue in town and the Santa Ynez Valley, and when I learn she will be the photographer at one of my weddings I always congratulate the couples on a fabulous choice.

Hi There! I'm Katherine (or Kay!). I've loved weddings for as long as I could remember and I believe I have one of the best jobs in the whole world. I love being able to capture moments from one of the best days of a couples lives and I get to do it alongside my best friend, my Husband. You could call us nerds; we love Harry Potter, puzzles and video games. Our favorite vacation spot is definitely Las Vegas and we both love good Mexican food. We have two fur babies; Bella and Betsy and yes they are so spoiled. The Husband, Abraham (or Bram) is also an engineer when he's not capturing weddings and a Cal Poly alum.

Kay is simply the best photographer on the planet, me and my husband are from Italy and France and we’ve never met a photographer that is so professional, optimistic and fun. It’s like an old friend is taking pictures of you, she makes you feel very comfortable and knows how to make you look beautiful on your special day. We’ve hired her for our engagement session back in 2018 and now for our wedding on May 8th. What else is there to say? Be ready Kay. We’ll hire you so many other times and be ready to fly to Italy in a couple of years.

  • Starts at $2,830

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.

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Randall and I have worked on a couple projects together and each time we work together he just gets better and better. He's extremely professional, patient and has a great vision when capturing photos. He always makes the clients feel comfortable while getting the perfect shot. A pleasure to work with and not hesitate for a second to work with again.

If you’re looking for a moody, dreamy, romantic wedding photographer, look no further! Carly is absolutely incredible! My husband (then fiancé) and I were searching for a wedding photographer in the Cleveland area when we stumbled upon Drzazga Photo. Best thing to happen to us!! Early on in my planning I knew my wedding aesthetic was going to be boho rustic and I wanted a photographer who would be able to capture it well. We found that in Carly, and honestly, she can make any wedding style look fantastic in her photos!! If you haven’t checked out her work, DO IT ASAP! Not only are the photos she takes beautiful, but Carly’s eye for angles and poses is astounding. She’s incredibly talented and SUPER sweet. Both my husband and I are uncomfortable in front of the camera, but when working with Carly, she made us feel super comfortable and being photographed by her was actually fun. She’s also available at a really great price. While searching for photographers with similar style and quality, we found most of them were way out of our price range. Now that she has an associate team, you can get the same quality for even a bit cheaper! I didn’t work with the associate team, so I can’t speak to how they interact with their clients, but if you can, don’t skimp on having Carly shoot for you, I promise you won’t regret it! She not only gives you great quality for a great value, but she even includes an engagement photoshoot! (Although complimentary, the photos we got blew us out of the water and also got us really excited to see what she would be able to do at our wedding!) Spoiler alert: she crushed it! We are floored by how good the wedding photos turned out and we haven’t got the whole gallery back yet!! Also, Carly is SO incredibly accommodating! She drove all the way from Cleveland to Columbus just to do our engagement photos because it was more convenient for us!!! Her dedication to her clients is UNRIVALED! I can’t say enough good things about Carly and the team at Drzazga photo!! I’m just so happy we were able to snag her before she booked up!! (She’s a hot commodity, so if you’re even remotely considering her, book her or you might miss out on her magic!) We are keeping her contact info saved because we will certainly be reaching out for any professional photos in the future!! Thank you, Carly, Kasey, and team!!! You guys are the best!

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before we picked any other vendors, we knew we wanted to work with Justin. Choosing our photographer first was partially logistical and mostly because we loved him – he was the photographer at a wedding we were in previously, so we were lucky enough to get some first-hand experience with him and how he works! Justin makes everyone comfortable in front of the camera, regardless of experience. He’s so kind, affirming, fun, and funny that he makes it easy to feel like your best self in the photos. That wedding had a huge wedding party, and he did a great job at making the whole group look and feel fantastic, so we knew we would feel comfortable with him for our wedding. One of us is very camera-shy, so his kind and fun demeanor, while producing stunning photos, made him the only photographer we wanted to work with. Once we secured our wedding planner, the first thing we all did was compare dates with Justin because it was that important to us. We also hired Justin for our engagement photoshoot to use the photos for our Save-the-Dates – we can’t recommend that enough! It was the perfect way for us to practice getting photographed by him, and for him to get to know us as a couple in advance. He provided the most fun and thorough get-to-know-you questionnaires and calls prior to working with us that made us feel like he cared to deeply understand who he was photographing. He put so much time, thought, and dedication into our engagement shoot and wedding day – it made us feel so special, and every photograph we have feels perfect for us. On your wedding day, you’re around your photographer and their people ALL day, and they’re interacting with everyone else at the wedding. You want to hire a good person who can seamlessly integrate themselves into the day, get the shots you want, and still be having fun by the end of the day. Justin is absolutely that person, and everyone he works with matches those high standards as well. He advocates for you to make sure you get all the shots you want, plus so many you never knew you wanted but then can’t live without. We never felt steamrolled by any guests or family members because Justin kindly and strategically prioritized us and worked with our planner to keep us on schedule without us ever needing to keep track of the time. He made everyone comfortable in front of the camera through fun prompts and silly jokes and somehow maintained an enviably high energy level the entire day! Everyone at our wedding loved him and his second shooter, Carly, and only had great things to say about them. The end result of each day was stunning and we are obsessed. We attempted to “narrow down our favorites” and still ended up with hundreds of photos we absolutely love, from silly and loving candids, to directed moments that captured the feelings perfectly, and stunning posed shots that make us and our friends feel like models, Justin brought it all and we couldn’t be happier!

Photography had always been a love of mine but in 2020 I decided to quit my 9-5 job and start this full-time adventure! I am now a full-time wedding & lifestyle photographer & love every minute of it. Capturing special moments & delivering quality photos to clients is extremely rewarding, and I genuinely enjoy it. I currently live in Aptos but I also serve the surrounding areas of the Monterey Bay region and I am ready to travel wherever needed.

My experience working with Deanna was a real delight. She wasn't overly ambitious so to the point that she impeded my workflow as a Videographer, and that is huge for me, as Photographers & Videographers need to have ease of communication between them for everything to run smoothly and properly serve the wedding couple. I'll definitely be referring her to future clients so that we can work together again one day! :-)

I’m Adam—a Boston native who’s now roaming around California photographing everything I see. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adam Griffin was the first photographer that I was referred to by a friend. After reviewing his site and socials, I knew we had to reach out. A quick call to discuss details and get to know one another and I knew I found the right person to capture our wedding day. After a few more calls going over day-of deets and walkthroughs of the venue, the big day finally came. In lieu of an engagement shoot, we had asked Adam to photograph our rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding and it was then that I began to see Adam's craft come to life, but also his deep consideration and care for the subjects in each of his photos. The next twenty-four hours were a whirlwind of love, matrimony, and just a hint of chaos. I mean this with every cell in my body, we could not have had the day we did without Adam Griffin and his team. We hired him as a photographer and what we got was so much more. When a tipsy bridesmaid had one too many before the ceremony, Adam saw the daggers coming from out of our eyeballs and reassured my future spouse and I that committing a felony before swapping our vows was best saved for another time. When extended family felt the need to suddenly become a creative director and attempt to direct his skills, Adam reassured them that he was capturing all the necessary moments and more. Whether it be his kindness, his needed assertiveness, or just his calming energy when your new mother-in-law is searching for a microphone to broadcast her voice to 200 people, you want Adam there to shoot each individual moment. My new husband and I recently got our photos from our big day back and there were instant tears. So many delicate and sweet stills of an evening that went by way too fast. Adam Griffin and his team are remarkable photographers and so much more. I implore you to at least reach out and give him a call. You and your impending spouse will not regret it.

It sounds cheesy but I love capturing authentic and candid moments and giving you photos that you can look back on and love; I've been photographing for over 20+ years. I never realized (until going full-time with photography) that photography has always been such a present part of my life; I love documenting these moments and having them to look at later. I notice all of the small details, the exchange of smiles during a ceremony, or the look in your partner's eye when they see you for the very first time walking down an aisle. I'll capture it!

Not only is Jenn a highly professional photographer with a keen eye for detailed and a great sense of composition, but she’s also an awesome human, leading to the perfect combination of fun, efficiency, and professionalism.

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
To say that I love and trust Stephen's work is an understatement. I live in New York City with some of the most talented photographers in the world available for hire, and my first choice wedding photographer was to fly Stephen Tang to NYC from Los Angeles. I wouldn’t trust or want anyone else for the job of capturing our wedding. We have worked with Stephen before, and I just love his style of work. I also fell in love with his studio work after seeing another couple's engagement photos and wanted similar pictures for our own. Stephen knocked it out of the park. Stephen exceeded our expectations with the wedding photos. We have everything we requested and much more than we realized we needed. It was so fun to relive our wedding through the pictures. The only potential downside of my wedding pictures was I realized that I forgot to take a picture with my grandfather. I felt pretty terrible about it. I received my pictures from Stephen and cried because there was a beautiful candid of my grandfather and I. It was so much better than a posed photo. It captured the essence of who we are. You get what you pay for with weddings. Your pictures are your memories. They live on for generations. It was important to us to have the best photographs, and we knew we could trust Stehen to capture the event beautifully. Stephen went above and beyond our expectations and worth every cent. It won't be 2,000 photos and duplicates of the same shot. He’s going to give you a beautiful, curated story of your wedding. Stephen was also very helpful with looking over my timeline and telling me what was realistic. His experience allowed me to set expectations for what I'd receive, and he did nothing if not exceed them. Wedding days are beautiful. They are intimate, but they are also stressful. I’ve been to weddings where the photographer brings an anxious energy. That’s not Stephen. He’s calm and confident. He also takes charge in a non abrasive way. On my wedding day I needed that. I needed my photographer to be a calming influence and I’m so grateful that I had exactly what I needed. Stephen Tang.

My brother is also a professional photographer (but a jinx for weddings) and complimented her sooo many times. She was so low-key throughout the event, blending right in throughout the day. She was so sweet and friendly, she basically felt like was part of the family that day. She got beautiful portraits of me and my husband, portraits with our families, then so many great candids throughout the day - exactly what we wanted. She definitely knows what she's doing with the couple portraits too - she gave us directions that sounded so silly at the time, but omg the pictures came out amazing.

I set my mind and soul to this craft about 5 years ago and my heart just grew with every couple I met and every story I learned and told through my favorite medium of photography. It is the absolute best feeling being able to photograph the genuine love and happiness a couple expels through their wedding day. Nothing can beat the emotions and the charm of that. It's an honor to be able to translate those emotions onto images so people can look back through them and get back those feelings years and decades later.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was so relieved to find Fatima when looking into a photographer for our wedding. Her artistry had the perfect blend of authenticity, love, and drama. When it came to our wedding day and photos, it was everything we expected and more. We did not need or want an engagement shoot as we were coming from out of town and had already done one. Fatima was really easy to work with and we planned to have her at our rehearsal dinner instead, which was a great choice. All of our photos turned out beautifully, and we are so happy she captured so many moments we didn’t even realize she was there for! There were a few guests that I didn’t get to see much that I was hoping we would have photos of, and we did! I was also incredibly impressed by the turnaround time. We received our rehearsal dinner photos within weeks, sneak peak photos within a few days, and the full wedding gallery within a month! I’ve heard too many horror stories of other photographers taking ages. Fatima communicates with you and when she sets a deadline she means it! I would highly recommend Fatima for any photography needs. I hope we’ll be in CA to hire her for our next set of photos!

From start to finish, our experience with Cassidy was nothing short of outstanding, and we can't recommend her enough! First and foremost, the location and landscape of Ouray were absolutely stunning. The majestic mountains, serene lakes, and charming trails provided the perfect backdrop for our engagement photos. Cassidy's keen eye for capturing the beauty of the surroundings truly showcased the essence of Ouray and made our pictures look like something out of a fairytale. The natural beauty of the location combined with Cassidy's artistic vision resulted in truly magical photographs that we will cherish forever. Throughout the entire process, Cassidy's communication and professionalism were top-notch. From the moment we reached out to her, she was prompt and attentive, answering all our questions and addressing any concerns we had. She took the time to understand our vision and personal style, ensuring that our personalities and the love we share as a couple were reflected in every shot. Her warm and friendly demeanor made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the shoot, allowing us to relax and genuinely enjoy the experience. One aspect that truly impressed us was Cassidy's dedication to researching and scouting locations beforehand. She went above and beyond to find hidden gems and picturesque spots in Ouray that we never would have discovered on our own. This attention to detail and meticulous planning added an extra layer of uniqueness and authenticity to our photos, as we were able to capture the true essence of the area while highlighting our love for each other and our adorable dog Samuel. If you are looking for a photographer who not only captures beautiful images but also provides an exceptional experience, Cassidy at Mindful Wedding Photography is the perfect choice.

My husband I made the decision to have a destination elopement in JTNP and hired Love & Latitudes after chatting with them some. I am definitely an over-thinker and looked into so many options in terms of locations, photographers, etc. prior. Making the decision to hire Diana and Isiah was the best decision I think we could have made for our wedding day. They took the stress out of EVERYTHING from the planning process to actual day of coordination. Communication was a breeze and made the process as easy as can-be. We are beyond thrilled with our experience and photos. We had a private ceremony officiated by Isiah. They put so much care into making the experience totally stress-free and special. From helping me with transporting my bouquet and carrying our water bottles and hiking shoes to literally picking individual cactus spurs out of my dress in the desert heat. Not to mention, they also downloaded our playlist as a surprise and had our music on hand where there was no cell service. Because of them and their thoughtfulness, we were able to have a first dance at our ceremony site which we hadn't even thought of planning for ourselves. On top of how memorable and smooth of an experience we had, it was fun sharing our wedding day with them. Plus, and importantly, the actual photos we have from our wedding day are absolutely phenomenal! Diana managed to capture the most authentic-feeling, beautiful and creative images of this memorable time.

I started photographing weddings in college on the side and once I graduated I knew I wanted to continue to pursue weddings! If you'd like to inquire, please do so through my website!

Jordan is freaking amazing and was such an awesome person to work with on our wedding day! We booked an engagement shoot with her a year out before our wedding and as soon as we met her we knew she was the one we would hire for our wedding. First of all she is so nice and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session, my husband and I never took professional photos before but she guided us through and even with our silliness and laughing the photos came out so incredible. Fast forward to 10.29.23 our wedding day Jordan was a rockstar, we had a jam packed day with two ceremonies and she literally was able to capture all the key photos we wanted, we got so many different vibes and I cannot be more happy with how our day went. When it started to rain we got amazing photos indoors and when we were outside she knew all the right spots to capture amazing photos.

Your experience with me starts long before you step in front of my lens. I take the time and energy to get to know you & your story, so that I can capture the parts of your relationship that are authentically YOU. So that you can look back on the photos from this season of life, and feel like you're right back in that moment, feeling those same feels. To me, a perfectly posed & still photograph doesn't capture a feeling the way that a candid one can. I direct my couples to create images that are full of movement and those intimate in-between moments.

I found Shelby through searching wedding photographers on Instagram and instantly loved her style. We were supposed to get married in Big Bear but had a last minute venue change. She was awesome and so flexible and instead made the trip out to Palm Desert to document our special day. She got there early, organized with her shot list and suggested shots that I otherwise would not have, and I'm so thankful for that! Look forward to working with her again for future life events! Thank you!

Victoria is an absolute dream to work with! There is no one else I would have used for my photos. She is extremely organized, communicates clearly, and is up front with every decision. I loved having her give me suggested timelines and ensuring I had those special shots that were on my must haves. She is also a teacher, so was outstanding at organizing the group for pictures and communicating clearly. Her pictures are out of this world! I will cherish them for a lifetime.

Image In Love Photography

I'm in love with taking photos and I spend all of my time working on fine-tuning my photography but also getting deeper than just taking photos. I am taking photos with the purpose now more than ever. Its been my years of experience that has helped me develop my photography into art and not just a picture taker. From the moment I meet my clients, I want to know as much as I can. Getting closer to a client really transcends into the photographs I am taking of them and their special day.

If I could give 1000 starts I would! Image in love was so amazing it captured everything I wanted at my wedding and 30th birthday party. To this day I am still in awe with the beauty of my pictures. Toby did such an amazing job communicating and making sure to get everything I wanted for my special days. Also, his pricing is very reasonable you will not regret it. The quality and beauty of the pictures will make your heart over fill with joy. I would recommend Image in love to everyone!

Sarahi Photo

Long Beach, CA

My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing photography was one of the most important vendors for our special day. Sarahi Photo was the best choice for us. We knew she was the one when we had our consultation call. She preps you for your wedding and provides great information. The wedding was smoother because of the photo team! Everyone was great and the pictures came out beautiful! Also the engagement session is complimentary, so accept it! The engagements made us excited for the wedding and took the stress off the wedding. The engagement photos for beautiful as well. She captured our love!
