Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous.

Take a few moments to go through some words from past clients describing their experience with us. You’ll also find us on Google.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Josh Fernandez as our engagement and wedding photographer was undoubtedly the best decision we have ever made. Our travel to Josh Fernandez was well timed. Over the course of the epidemic, rescheduling our wedding and praying that he would still be our photographer, the stars aligned to create this lovely friendship. He makes the process straightforward and goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort by assisting other vendors. Josh is a rockstar, a man of the people, and a humble gentleman who will execute his amazing vision for your event with humility and respect. Every conceivable accommodation you can imagine, he has your back. His photographs - Exquisite, cerebral, explosive. He continues to push the limits of his skill and catches abstract philosophical notions that evoke emotion and make you rethink your identity. This summer, we are seeking our third photoshoot with him, and we aim to recommend him to all of our connections.

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Candace was easily our favorite vendor to work with on our wedding day. She helped us create a timeline, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and recommended the rest of our wedding vendors as well. She stayed super organized and communicated everything to us without bombarding us with information the week of our wedding. She has also become one of the closest friends my husband and I have. We adore her and her business. You will not regret hiring her for your wedding day!!!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abby made my wedding day pictures a breeze. I had nothing to worry about and it made my life that much easier for my big day. Since then we had signed up as clients for life and have gotten updated pictures for my family twice a year! It’s so nice to be able to do those things and know the quality I will get is fantastic. Also makes it nice and easy to get updated pictures without a hassle!

We're Dan & Tyler Photography, a husband and wife photo and videography team in Orange County, California. We've been shooting professionally for the past 10 years and have entirely fallen in love with every part of it. Our faith in Christ brought us together and truly defines who we are now and how we run this business. Our drive is to love and serve you.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not enough words to express how wonderful this husband and wife photography team is. My husband and I wanted a small, intimate ceremony for our wedding in the mountains of Yosemite. We knew we needed a special team that would be able to help make our vision come to life. We didn't want a large wedding, no fancy cake, no large celebration- the one thing we wanted to invest in was a good photographer and videographer. Honestly, Dan and Tyler were a gift from God and exceeded our wildest expectations. From our first shoot with them for our engagement photos they were immediately comforting and encouraging. My husband HATES being in photos and gets teased for his not being photogenic. However, Dan and Tyler made him feel so comfortable that he was able to relax, and everyone who knows him was shocked to see images of him actually smiling and laughing, looking very photogenic. Dan and Tyler met with us for plans on the wedding as well as for the small family reception we had later on. In total, we hired Dan and Tyler for three separate occasions, and we would hire them for one million more. The vision meeting with them was incredibly helpful. They were organized, gave us great advice and guidance, and were so warm and easy to work with. All communication with them throughout our engagement, wedding, and reception season was timely, clear, and friendly. On our wedding day weekend I was a ball of stress. It was Dan and Tyler who helped keep me calm and helped keep the wedding on schedule and organized. Honestly, I don't know how we would have done it without them. They played a critical role in our ceremony. They captured the most special moments, the most beautiful images, and the sweetest videos. I have been told the highlight video is the best many have seen. I can also say that your first moments after being married are so full of emotion, and who you share that with is very important. You'll spend those special moments with your photographer, and Dan and Tyler are exactly who you would want by you.Their presence was so peaceful, encouraging, and and calming. The same went for our reception. They helped us stay on track and ensured we captured every moment we wanted. As I said before, there are not enough words to express how wonderful this team is. I have many friends who have horror stories with photographers. With Dan and Tyler, there is only confidence and peace when engaging with them. It is so important to consider who you will trust with these moments, because these are moments you can never get back. Dan and Tyler's photography and videography is the best investment hands down that we made for our engagement, wedding, and reception. Their presence and products were worth every bit of the investment. I cannot, cannot, cannot recommend them enough. I will eternally want to thank them and give them the biggest hug for their role in the most special day of our lives. If you haven't resolved it already, hire them. You'll be forever grateful you did.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Like most children in the late 90's and early 00's, I grew up with a camera in my hand. I went through polaroids, video cameras, disposable cameras, waterproof cameras, and film cameras; all the cameras! I was so fascinated by photography and the ability to preserve moments. I'm an ENFP, 7w6, and extroverted-introvert who is not only thrilled but humbled to be a witness and historian to the significant moments in your life we are able to share together!

I was lucky enough to have moved into a neighborhood where Lindsay became my neighbor. I needed a photographer and asked the neighborhood Facebook. Lindsay came highly recommended, I reached out and within hours I had an appointment lined up. Communication was amazing, her personality was wonderful and the quality of her work was outstanding. I was overjoyed with the pictures she produced for my family and having digital access was an added bonus! Lindsay, now, comes recommended by me!

My name is Laura and I am bilingual (English/Spanish). I moved to Arizona in the beginning of 2022 from New Jersey. It has been bittersweet to redefine myself in a new state. One thing I absolutely refused to leave behind is my love for photography. I moved here with my husband for a change of speed. It has been such a beautiful change!

The tears, the smiles, the laughs, the dancing... Moody, warm and candid photography. Photos to make you relive the moments later

From the beginning Laura was great. She was very well at communicating with us and planning our day. When the wedding day came, she was great at making us feel comfortable and was great at staying on schedule. The final photos came out very beautiful and we couldn't be any more happy with our choice of photographer.

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.

I can't even begin to tell you how happy with are with Susanna and her photos! My husband and I got married in September of 2021 and had an outdoor wedding in the mountains. Every single photo Susanna took was beyond what we could have imagined! Everyone that saw our photos thought we had done a photoshoot for a magazine. Both my husband and I sat for hours spilling over the HUNDREDS of photos she took and couldn't make up our minds which one was our favorite. Not only are Susanna's photos incredible, she was incredibly easy to work with, communicated well with my wedding planner, and was hardly noticed throughout the ceremony and reception. I asked for photos that captured the nature around us and photos of our friends and family, and she absolutely nailed it. I don't regret a single thing from working with Susanna and hope to do another session with her in the future! HIGHLY recommend!!!

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.

Working with Katy was so rewarding! I highly recommend booking her for any occasion or portrait session. Her confidence and creativity was reassuring and the variety of equipment she uses impressive in delivering a range of beautiful photos. My fiancé and I booked our engagement shoot with her and honestly did not expect to love our pictures as much as we do. This was our first professional shoot and Katy helped us to feel at ease, she utilized ques to direct us into postures and poses that look absolutely amazing! Despite freezing temperatures, she was able to capture our moment flawlessly. We are so happy and satisfied!!

When I say Leah is the best, I absolutely mean it. Our first experience working with her was at our wedding. The photos turned out better than I could have ever expected. She really captured us as a couple - not just the big day - but the actual love we have for one another. I frequently get comments that our wedding photos are some of the best people have seen and I have to agree. Outside of the wedding, Leah has been our go to photographer for family sessions. Our session at the Oregon Coast was hands down my favorite and the pictures really turned out exactly how I envisioned in my head. My husband and I are NOT that comfortable in front of the camera. Leah has a special gift of bringing calm and comfort in the session, which allowed us to drop the awkwardness and really be vulnerable with one another. The photos are beautiful and I cherish the relationship we’ve built with Leah. She just rocks, period.

Hey there! I'm unfortunately no longer utilizing Zola.

I'm all about love & adventure, no matter what that looks like for you. I’d be thrilled to go the extra mile (literally or figuratively) to capture your moments, big and small. I promise to treat your memories as if they were my own.

I found Sam when we decided to take some last minute engagement photos while visiting Colorado over the holidays. She was willing to squeeze us in her already booming schedule and did not disappoint! Sam brought my hometown engagement vision to life while also being so easy and fun to work with. We had a blast and it is reflective in the photos. We loved her and her photos so much, we also asked Sam to take our wedding photos as well! She was an absolute fairy godmother on my wedding day, stepping in where other vendors lacked. I really don't know what my day would have been like without her support as a vendor. The wedding was a blur, but Sam captured every bit of it perfectly and we love reliving everything through her photos. We joked that she will be stuck with us as customers for life, when it's really not a joke. Her photos are so amazing and we can't imagine ever working with anyone else!!

She was very flexible as far as booking our engagement shoot and went above and beyond to get us all the photos we wanted, we even hung out a bit after and had a drink, she's fun!! Come wedding day I was having some issues with another vendor and Alissa was more than willing to step in and help in any way she could. Both my husband and I have very large families so when it came time for family photos she did a great job at making sure we got what we needed and moved on so that we can enjoy our time and not spend hours corralling family to get photos done. We ended up needing her to stay longer to capture our exit and she was more than willing to add more time. After just a few days we got back 50 photos for our sneak peak and were soooo in love with the way they turned out!

Jessica being so organized and on top of things made our wedding experience much less stressful than it otherwise would have been. Neither my husband or I are super comfortable in front of a camera, but Jessica’s directions and attitude put us at ease and made for a very enjoyable experience. Our wedding day went just according to plan, and so so much of that credit goes to Jessica! Taking everything we had spoken about into consideration, she put a wedding day timeline together for us; that was a huge stress relief! Jessica was amazing leading up to the wedding and I couldn’t of been any more pleased. I had so much confidence in Jessica leading up to the wedding day, and she did not disappoint! She was organized, had a plan, and followed it just as we had discussed. When hiccups arose, she was a calming presence who quickly adapted and made the absolute best out of the situation. Now, on to the photos! Jessica is a remarkably talented photographer who captured our wedding day better than we could have imagined. The photos all turned out so good and she was able to capture so many moments that we, as the bride and groom, were not able to witness in the moment. Our couples portraits, wedding party photos, and family photos were stunning. We are also so incredibly grateful for Jessica taking the time to photograph our guests during the reception.

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

The day of, she brought the kind of energy you want around you on your wedding day— calm, joyful, patient, and light. She made the more intimate and planned moments fun and easy, and was so subtle while capturing candids that she practically blended into the scenery. She snuck photos of some amazing moments! Our guests also loved her vibe— she folded into our party so organically that we invited her to stay after hours. Following the wedding, Celia was prompt with sending the edited photos and she really delivered! My wife and I were so delighted to see how many details she documented when we didn’t realize anyone was watching, and how well she captured the emotions of the day.

My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

Sarah is absolutely amazing at what she does! Not only will she create beautiful images, but she will make sure you are having fun during the session/wedding. She has been a second shooter for me several time, and I have worked alongside her too. She is incredible at what she does, and goes above and beyond for her couples. I cannot recommend Sarah enough!

Hi, I'm Jaime! I am so glad you've stumbled across my page. A little about me and my values: I love to tell love stories of honest human connection.

I’ve worked with Jaime at weddings and on shoots. Every experience I’ve had with her has been nothing but amazing! She’s got such a calming, comforting energy which is so nice to work with on a wedding day. Brides always seem to have made a friend in her. Plus the photos turn out absolutely stunning. When working with her on a shoot… she made me feel so comfortable and confident. I sometimes have trouble looking at a photo of myself without picking myself apart. But I truly loved every photo she took. She’s got such a good eye, and is so well versed in photography! I even got a bunch of film photos back from her, which are my absolute favorite! I will forever recommend Jaime!

Chris and Tyler were simply amazing to work with for our wedding photography. Extremely down to earth guys with a passion and knowledge for what they do, you’ll know you’ve made the perfect decision right off the bat. Won’t miss a beat on any requests you may have in mind either. Their ears, communication and light-hearted energy helped progress our plans with ease while capturing every piece of our big day, and all without an ounce of stress. Thanks for keeping us punctual fellas! Lol They were genuinely a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to any friend searching. We gave Chris creative reign for styling and I was quite impressed (hard critic) with the engagement photos all the way through our outpouring love, forever captured, in his work on the best day of my life so far. Stop scrolling endless vendor options and check another to-do off your list; these guys are the real deal. Let the excitement build to your first reveal and relax, they’ve got this.

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
After my (now) husband and I booked our venue we knew the next vendor that we needed to hire was a photographer. I was a semi crazy bride and I probably interviewed over 10 photographers. We were looking for someone who not only took gorgeous, bright photos but also someone we could personally connect to. As soon as we had our introductory call, we knew Kim was the one! She was so warm and thoughtful during our call - really trying to understand our love story and how we wanted our wedding to be like. I actually cried during our intro call - that's how safe I felt around her. About a couple months after we signed our contract, Kim reached out to schedule our engagement shoot. This is when my husband and I really got to connect with Kim and knew we 1000% made the right choice. Kim was super organized (which we loved) with scheduling the time, picking the location and coordinating the meet up. She made us feel so comfortable and she captured the most stunning photos. She kept us engaged and prompted questions and actions to make sure our engagement photos really captured who we were as a couple and didn't feel posed. She got to learn our goofy personalities and it was a great practice run for our big day. Now for our wedding ... omg I cannot put to words what amazing photos Kim and her team took. We just got our final gallery and it immediately brought us to tears. She was able to capture the perfect balance of posed photos but also candids. Her detail photos made it possible to re-live every moment of the day again. She also made sure we captured all our family portraits (even though they were super large). She truly felt like a best friend who was around during out most special day who just happened to also snap a lot of photos. Our bridal party loved having her around and we were all so comfortable. She made prepping for our wedding day as effortless and stress free as possible. Before our wedding we had calls to walk through our shot list, timelines. She was super engaged and organized - giving all the tips she could to keep us on track. She delivered our sneak peeks SO quickly. We had them a couple days after our wedding to enjoy and cry over them while we were on our honeymoon. She also delivered our final gallery within 2 months! I can't recommend Kim enough- she's not just a super talented photographer but she's also a beautiful soul who has truly become our friend through this whole process. Can't wait to keep re-living our wedding day through her photos!!

At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling.

She was amazing at making sure to get all the photos we wanted done and we loved the poses she has us do. All of the photos we got back were gorgeous and genuine. Throughout the process Kyra felt more like a friend than a vendor, she was always there to offer a helping hand, provide advice and just radiated positive energy. 15/10 would recommend to everyone!

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

Dasha was recommended to us by a friend, but we were unsure of what to expect and really weren't too enthused about having to take wedding photos (mostly a family request). We relented and ended up with a rainy day, which further worried us. Dasha calmly and efficiently guided us around her suggested locations, with minimal fuss. The whole experience was easy, efficient, and professional. The final product was excellent. We would absolutely recommend Dasha, especially if you have any doubts or are unsure of where/how/what you want...she will guide you perfectly!

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Will & capturing the humanity of moments is what fuels me. The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture! More of what it FEELS like not just what it looks like. Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

Awarded Best of Zola
As newbies to the whole couple photography process, my husband and I were a bit nervous, but Will made the experience easy, fun, and inspiring for us! And most importantly, we loved how these photos turned out. The gallery they were delivered through was easy to use and share! Due to the COVID travel restrictions, many family and friends couldn’t join us. These photos helped capture the special moments and tell the story for us in a much more vivid way! Thanks again Will! xoxo

  • Serves Castro Valley, CA for additional fees

Hi! I'm Chrissy. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings and meet tons of awesome couples since 2014. I'm based in Boston, MA but I'm always more than happy to travel anywhere your adventure takes you. My work has brought me as far as Tokyo and I'm so ready to explore more new places! In my down time I love to surf, paint, go to concerts, and watch horror movies. I'm full of useless astrology facts and I always have extra snacks with me.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I are so lucky that we found Chrissy as our photographer. We wanted someone who would bring a unique approach to taking photos and be able to capture special moments that would happen during our wedding, both big and small. Chrissy checks the boxes for both. Not only is she extremely talented, but she also has an amazing eye for detail. She is also very easy to work with, and makes us both feel comfortable to be ourselves. I will admit I was a little nervous before our engagement photoshoot, but after meeting Chrissy, I immediately felt at ease and had so much fun. She also photographed our revised "micro-wedding" in our backyard last October, and was very flexible and accommodating in changing plans. We're looking forward to having her capture our bigger wedding once this pandemic is over, because we know the quality she delivers every time and she is just such a pleasure to work with. We can't recommend her enough!

I have had the opportunity to work with Jess for a few events now, and each time it has been an absolute pleasure! Jess is so personable, easy to work/ communicate with, professional and extremely talented! Being a floral designer, so much time, energy, labor and love is put into the floral designs. Viewing the galleries from Jess for these events have made me so so happy! Jess has such a good eye, and the amount of detail she captures is truly amazing. It's hard to choose just a few photos since they literally are all so perfect! If you're in need of a photographer for your event, Jess is your girl!
