The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

Where do I even begin... first, Heather was absolutely phenomenal! She was able to fit us in with probably the shortest notice ever. She was also able to work with our budget. Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hiking trails or discovering new local breweries. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial flair—meaning I'll capture both those candid laughs during toasts and those naturally romantic moments during golden hour. The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m someone who usually avoids being in photos and never let anyone, not even my partner, take pictures of me. But working with Eric completely changed that. Quinn and I were blown away by our photos. The entire experience felt effortless, like hanging out with a friend. Eric is incredibly laid-back and easygoing, which made the session so enjoyable. If you’re camera-shy or nervous about having your photo taken, I can’t recommend Eric enough. You won’t regret it.

I've been passionate about all art forms for as long as I can remember! I got into photography as a little middle schooler when I received a digital camera as a gift one year, and took pictures of random objects and landscapes, submitting them into local art shows and fairs. I put my passion on the backburner when I started focusing on my schooling and career. My husband gifted me a fancy camera with lenses for Christmas in 2020 and it sparked my love once again! I have an artistic eye if I do say so myself, and love capturing those precious life moments!

I’m Nikki. A Florida-based wedding photographer documenting the wild, sacred, beautifully imperfect parts of getting married. My approach is documentary, nostalgic, and a little bit undone. I’m there for the moments you didn’t plan for: your dad trying not to cry, your friends losing their minds on the dance floor, the quiet five minutes alone together, the weird little in-between moments you won’t realize mattered until years later.

Nikki was my college senior picture photographer. I wanted to do 3 very different photo shoots, as well as incorporate my college friends and my dog. Nikki was able to execute my vision perfectly!!! She knew the perfect locations and captured the vibe I was going for in each session perfectly. I am very detailed oriented and she made sure to capture all the small personal details I wanted included as well. These are my favorite pictures I’ve ever had taken. She was so encouraging and made me feel extremely comfortable behind the camera. Whether you are wanting something more traditional or something completely unique, Nikki will execute it beautifully!!

Your wedding is not a performance. It's the way you look at each other when no one's watching. Your hand finding theirs without thinking. My couples care more about what’s real than what looks good on a grid. They want gorgeous photos but also want them to mean something. The couples I work with have depth. Their stories have weight. They want someone behind the lens who sees them. Not just how they look, but who they are. Presence over performance. That's the closest I can get to naming it.

Awarded Best of Zola
...Saying Danielle went above and beyond would be a total understatement. She was so professional and responsive to my emails and calls and gave the most incredible advice that went beyond just photography. She understood our vision completely and worked endlessly to execute it. We had kind of a unique vision, involving having private vows with a private ceremony and then taking a boat ride to the reception. Since she hadn't shot at our venue before, about a month out from our wedding day she took time out of her busy schedule to meet us and walk through all the locations and map out the timing absolutely perfectly with the boat. She even came at the exact timing that the ceremony would be to find the best lighting in my fiancé's parent's back yard. She got us the sneak peak so quickly and we were truly blown away. I had very high expectations for the photos and she exceeded them completely. Our photos on the boat came out amazing and she just understood our simple/classic 90s vibe perfectly. Both of our moms commented on how hard Danielle worked the whole day and were so impressed with her professionalism. We couldn't afford a 2nd photographer but Danielle found a way to capture every moment we could possibly want. She was present but also gave us the space to feel every moment just us 2 which allowed us to be so comfortable and candid. Her photography is amazing but most importantly, Danielle is an amazing human being. I never expected to get so close to a wedding vendor but I can happily say we found such an amazing friend in Danielle. She truly cares, which just takes the photos and the experience to a whole other level. She is a true gem and I can not recommend her enough. I could go on and on with how amazing she was.

She managed to capture not just the big moments but also the candid, heartfelt interactions that made our day so special (and were a huge priority to us). Her warm and friendly demeanor made it easy for us and our guests to feel comfortable in front of the camera. When we received the final photos, we were blown away by the quality and artistry. Each image was a masterpiece, reflecting the joy, love, and excitement of our celebration - my husband and I both got emotional going through them together. I truly never expected to see such joy captured in every moment of our day, and I am so grateful. Justina has a remarkable ability to tell a story through her lens, and we will cherish these memories forever. How lucky are we to have found her! If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, Justina is the one. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

Shannon and her friends are AMAZING. We had our wedding during the shutdown and we were planing to get married in a National park. With the uncertainty of the shut down they recommend other venues just incase. Thankfully everything went to plan with the OG idea. They answered any question I had and just made the day run so smooth. She and her team are so awesome. Went above and beyond even hiked for us. Thank you for everything.

When I was a kid all I wanted to be was a photographer (or a vet) and in 2019 o my husband gave me that opportunity. I left my corporate job to pursue my passion. I started a pet sitting business AND a photography business at the same time and I think it's safe to say that right now I am living the dream. I have three beautiful cats and a wonderful husband who supports me in whatever I do.

Aurora flew all the way from Nashville to Boston to photograph my wedding. She made sure to capture everything I asked for and paid attention to what I had wanted. The best part was receiving back the photos and gettin to relive the day all over again. Aurora really captured the emotion of the day and I am forever grateful to her.

I'M SUSANNA. THE GIRL BEHIND THE CAMERA. I'm a photographer based out of Boise, Idaho. I specialize in couples, lifestyle, weddings + everything raw, real and emotional. When i'm not photographing something you can find me exploring nature, hanging out at a concert or re-watching The Office (for the 100th time). I'm a lover of travel, animals, adventure, art, good food and making great memories. I've loved photography for as long as I can remember + I'm certain that capturing other people's stories + love is my passion and my calling.

Susanna Grant was a joy to work with for our wedding day. She was so friendly, and put us completely at ease throughout the entire process. On the wedding day itself, she captured all of the important moments beautifully. We highly recommend Susanna!

My work is built on the idea that photographs are not just decorations, but inheritances. I’ll meet you where you are. awkward, giddy, tearful, reverent, undone - and we’ll co-create something beautiful. This is not a factory. It’s me, showing up with my whole heart to create something that feels true to you. If you want your story told with integrity, emotion, and reverence, you're in the right place. I'm so excited to meet you.

From the moment we met Luca, we knew she was the right person to capture our wedding. She didn’t just document the big moments - she paid attention to the small, meaningful details that made private beach wedding day uniquely ours. Her creativity and professionalism instantly put us at ease, which was such a gift during all the nerves of the day. Luca brought a calming presence, endless patience, and such care to every part of the process. She made us feel seen, celebrated, and completely comfortable in front of the camera. The entire experience was truly unforgettable. We’re so thankful for the heart and talent Luca poured into our day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!
