We loved Joe and Ashley! They were top tier people to work with. They came to our venue early and we’re ready to start shooting from the shot list. They had great communication, were very personable, professional and had a strong game plan with plenty of room for flexibility. We battled with some chilly weather and wind on the day of but they did everything in their power to make it perfect! Honestly if I did not have Joe and Ashley there for me I don’t think my day would have been as perfect as it was. Ashley was able to bustle my dress before my first dance and help calm my nerves the day of, she was kind, compassionate and honestly made me very at ease the day of. Joe was able to handle a rowdy bunch of groomsmen the day of getting all the special shots I asked for while leaving lots of time for extra pictures we may have. Joe gave great directions for posing and was extremely efficient and confident when shooting. Overall good photographers are a backbone to a wedding and we are so grateful we went with Joe Banker Photography!

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Jenni and her husband did our engagement photoshoot last fall and were our wedding photographers this August. From our first phone conversation, Jenni was sweet and helpful. She’s someone you talk to and feel like you already know her. Her attention to detail and client connection instantly convinced me that she had to be the photographer to capture our special day! On our wedding day, Jenni was calm, creative and collaborative with our videography team. Jenni above and beyond! When our wedding party limo bailed, she was quick to problem solve and get me to my wedding. When our timeline got pushed back a little, she made she that I got to eat and drink during cocktail hour. My husband and I are in awe of our sneak peak wedding photos and can’t wait to see the full album! We will definitely recommend Jenni to our friends and plan to work with Jenni in the future.

Wayne was INCREDIBLE!! He's been to our property (Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor) for a handful of weddings this season and each time I'm relieved to see him. His experience and creativity is unique, playful and beautiful. Our couples are always so pleased with the photos and overall the experience of their big day when it comes to LoveDays. One wedding in particular (Ferrari Benotti Wedding) had incredible photos from downtown Boston. Many of those photos were highlighted in the @Onlybos Instagram and we had couples request Wayne's information from it. Incredible photos and great experience, 10/10 recommend.

If you're looking for experienced professionals, look no further than Sugar Rush. On my wedding day, Jena introduced herself with a big, giant hug and immediately made me feel so comfortable and excited for the big day ahead! I knew right away I was in great hands. Jena was funny, personable, experienced, patient and extremely flexible. Stephanie, our second photographer, was also a master at handling all of the wild goose chases we sent her on. From finding my future-husband's cabin without an address to figuring out how to capture a non-traditional venue, she took it all in stride and was always three steps ahead of us. Now, I cannot imagine having anyone else there for us on our wedding day. They were so helpful, hyping us up through each photo, and able to take any pivot we threw at them. I highly recommend this team and I wished I lived in the SLC-area so I could force them to be friends with me!!

It also felt so natural posing for pictures with her guidance. She and Wayne were such a dream team. I also hired Snap Pic Photo Booth (owned by them as well) and we loved our backdrop and the props and the print template design! ALSO, she literally turned around some edits so fast. Literally lunchtime the day after our wedding, she had already posted a handful of edited photos from our wedding to her Instagram. How amazing is she!!!

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Picking a wedding photographer is hard, when I found Alyssa I knew she was the one! She is so incredibly kind made me feel so comfortable. She is very accommodating and very helpful from the moment you start planning. This goes for my wedding and my engagement session.

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris photographed our wedding in October of 2021 and did an INCREDIBLE job. We started with an engagement shoot that was a great way to practice for our wedding day. We learned all of the popular poses so that on our actual wedding day we didn’t feel awkward posing. He was incredibly organized and thorough throughout the entire process and the results were perfect. The entire day was planned out and he photographed every shot we wanted. We also had a beautiful wedding video and I had special requests for the video that he easily accommodated! The entire day ran smoothly thanks to his organization. He was extremely professional but we also had SO much fun. I felt like I was with a friend throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Chris for any event.

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

Marla is a light of sunshine and would be an awesome pick for your photographer. She is creative and really makes sure she is getting the best shot for your day! Totally recommend!!!!

We want to get to know you and build a friendship that extends beyond our lens. Our goal is to capture genuine memories that you'll cherish for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
I looked through several different groups when attempting to find the best photographer for our wedding and Hevesi Journal made it easy to choose them. We mainly interacted with Katie, who was professional and calming and funny throughout every encounter. We did our engagement photos with her as well as our wedding photos and both sets turned out better than I could have imagined. Getting photographs that really showed the essence of us as a couple was one of the more important things we had hoped for when planning the wedding and this goal was certainly achieved. For our engagement photos, Katie followed us up a mountain and during the wedding she made sure that all of our desired groupings (for example, my father and his siblings) were captured with ease. I would 100% use their services again and if I have anything that needs documenting in the future will not be hesitating to reach out.

I specialize in documenting weddings! I believe in images that are timeless, true to color, with a touch of moodiness and emotion. Photography is one of the biggest and most important investments you’ll make for your wedding day. Wedding photography isn’t just a financial investment. You’re also investing in a photographer who values and builds that relationship from the start, from planning a custom timeline with you, to going over all the details every step of the way leading up to the wedding day. I want my couples to be as involved in the creative process as I am. It’s all about the experience!

Words can't fully describe how amazing the experience was from start to finish with Chamblee! If you need someone to capture a moment as precious as saying "I Do", Chamblee is your photographer! She was always thoughtful and patient, and the quality of the photos are amazing! Each photo shows how much care and attention Chamblee puts into the composition of each shot! All-in-all, I highly recommend her for her photography skills and for the care she put into making wedding photography a truly delightful experience.

Josie with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception. I have no idea how she pulled it off but they look so magical and caught everyone having fun, all the exact memories I'll always cherish.

Hi there! I'm Zack, a wedding photographer from Orange County, Ca. Ever since I was a young kid studying (and sketching!) bugs in the backyard, I've had a fierce love for the details in the little moments of this crazy life. I got my first "real" camera when I was 12 and was instantly hooked. As I grew, so did my passion and ability to translate those moments into memories. I had the chance to help photograph a wedding when I was 17 and wow! What an experience! That night, I looked through the photos and fell in love. I knew that capturing the moments that would mean something to someone for the rest of their life was where I belonged.

I’m so grateful that she encouraged us to get prints and wall art for keepsakes and decor in our home. Since we put our picture on the wall our dining has never looked or felt better. It just feels more like us now. She communicates so well and helped us stay organized and even sent us a budget calculator to help us manage our wedding finances- we didn’t even know we needed a budget tool until we started using it. I wish we hadn’t opted out of their videography service, but she gave us a highlight video anyway!

I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

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

My maid of honor recommended Kiera for our wedding day. She said “she wants you to know she’s new.” After looking at her work on Facebook I thought “she doesn’t look new, her work is awesome” so we, so to say “took a chance”. My goodness, it was THE BEST decision I have ever made. Her work far exceeded expectations. She was so easy to work with. She was on top of the planning and all the fine details. I could go on and on about how amazing she was, but I’ll just say this… IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER TO CAPTURE THE MOST PRECIOUS MOMENTS IN LIFE, CHOOSE ENDLESS AUTUMN PHOTOGRAPHY.

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

We loved having Hannah as our wedding photographer! Start to finish it was a wonderful experience. From our first meeting, where she asked thoughtful questions and helped us think through how we wanted to document the day, we knew we made the right choice. She came and photographed everyone getting ready, and from the start she helped us all feel so comfortable being photographed. She was great with my family and put everyone at ease. My wife and I love the portraits she took of us in and old Esplanade mansion, and she worked with the weird lighting and old space to make it beautiful. The ceremony was outside, and we love the photos of us and we especially love the sweet pictures of the guests! Hannah took such wonderful candid pictures of our family and friends during the ceremony, they are such a perfect reminder of all the love from the day. Then the editing process was so quick and easy, we love the way she curated our photos, made an easy link to share, and the printing and ordering process was a breeze.

We had our engagement photos taken by We Do Weddings and had a great experience. My wife and I weren't set on a good location, but Jared and Quinn had a couple of suggestions and Freestone Park turned out perfect. They also arrived early and had a couple spots in mind to shoot at, which I really appreciated since it was a warm day and that expedited the process. The shoot was casual and surprisingly fun. They worked quickly but we never felt rushed. They gave great direction (including some pictures of what they were looking for at times) which turned out great. We just got the photos back and my wife and I were blown away. They turned out beautifully and we are so happy with them.

A few years ago my husband and I knew we wanted to have our engagement photos in Arizona. We hired Valerie and that was the best decision. Traveling from Texas to Arizona, we weren’t sure where the best place for photos were but she gave so many great options and was even willing to drive up to Sedona and take a hike with us so we could get the great views we wanted. Our photos were amazing and we still get compliments on them to this day. Fast forward a few months and we hired her for our wedding. Valerie stuck with us throughout the long wedding planning process and was always supportive and responsive when I had questions. There was never any doubt that she was in our corner. When my husband and I were having second guesses on wedding decisions due to how they might photograph, Valerie was always there to answer a text or schedule a call to put our mind at ease. During my wedding day Valeria was so attentive, had the most wonderful energy and always reassured us that if we needed anything, just to let her know. Our wedding photos turned out amazing, it was so hard to figure out which ones to frame. Guests from our wedding are still making comments on how wonderful Valerie was and how she made the picture taking process so fun! I would hire her over and over again and she will continue to be our Arizona photographer! 1000% recommend for anyone’s engagement and/or wedding needs!

I’m a sucker for a story, especially a love story. Ever since beginning a love affair with photography in Scotland, I’ve worked to capture striking photography for hopeless romantics. From traditional weddings to elopements, I’m game to capture creative and sentimental moments in timeless color.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so glad we found P.J. from Fits and Stops Photography. From the early planning stages, he was attuned to our needs and photographic wishes. Prior to booking him for the wedding, we did an engagement photo session with him. We were very happy with his professionalism, creativity, and fun personality. He had the photos to us quickly and we were so happy with his work that we booked him for our wedding. He created a custom wedding photo package tailored to our photography needs. We planned a relatively small wedding at a family’s vineyard, but then the global pandemic happened. In the months and weeks leading up to our wedding P.J. was incredibly flexible, understanding, and accommodating. As our plans continued to change weekly and then daily, P.J. remained positive and supportive. Because of the pandemic, we had so many stressors and challenges, but P.J. was never one of them. We knew no matter what we still wanted to be married on our original date and even if no one could attend, we wanted P.J. there to take photos. Literally days before our wedding, we finalized a plan to do an elopement ceremony deep in the forest. It required a long drive to the mountains, a bumpy ride on a dirt road, a hike into the woods, and a short climb to a rocky overlook. Not exactly what P.J. thought he was getting into when we booked him for a vineyard wedding months ago, but he was 100% on board with our new plan and so excited for us. It meant a lot to us to have all his positive energy and enthusiasm with us on our wedding day. Though our wedding did not go as we thought it would when we planned it many months ago, our wedding was beautiful and P.J. did a fantastic job capturing the elopement ceremony. The day after our wedding he sent us a few photos to share with our family and friends sheltering in place around the globe. His photos meant so much to those who were eagerly waiting to gather for our wedding, only to be devastated when we had to alter our plans. Many people commented they felt they were right there with us as they looked through P.J.’s photos. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience working with P.J. We look forward to the day when we can all gather safely in celebration and we hope we can have P.J. there to capture all those special moments with our family and friends.

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

If you're on the hunt for a wedding photographer who not only captures every intricate detail but also brings a sense of ease and joy to your special day, look no further than Silvia Gilbert Photography. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding, and boy, did she exceed our expectations! Silvia] has an unparalleled knack for capturing the essence of each moment, from the stolen glances between the newlyweds to the delicate lace on the bride's gown. Her attention to detail is simply remarkable; every shot she takes feels like a work of art, meticulously composed and brimming with emotion. But what truly sets Silvia apart is her easy-going personality. Despite the inevitable chaos of a wedding day, she remained calm, cool, and collected, effortlessly putting us at ease and allowing us to fully enjoy the festivities. Her warm demeanor and infectious enthusiasm made the entire experience feel like a breeze, and her presence felt more like that of a dear friend rather than a hired vendor. Not only did Silvia capture all the big moments beautifully, but she also had a remarkable ability to capture the small, fleeting moments that we may have otherwise missed. Looking through our wedding album, we were transported back to that magical day, reliving every laugh, tear, and heartfelt exchange. In short, Silvia Gilbert Photography is a true gem in the world of wedding photography. If you want stunning photos and a stress-free experience, entrust her with your special day—you won't be disappointed.

Ben was the person we were most excited to work with for our wedding, and for good reason. He is the most chill, in a 'no pressure' kind of way, when it came to coming up with plans, and was so cool about our event being less photo moments and more laid back and candids. He hung out with our friends and families the night before and everyone loved him, fit in just like he was one of our good friends. And, of course, our photos came out absolutely stunning, we cannot stop looking through them!

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
We approached Rebecca for her photojournalistic photography, something we explicitly wanted in our wedding because we wanted those natural moments captured without looking awkward, and she astonished us by capturing so many sentimental and hilarious parts throughout our wedding. From framing to editing, the photos turned out fantastic and we love them so much! You can see raw emotion, joy, and amazement throughout them. She truly captured the feelings of the day without making us feel overly posed and orchestrated; she made it all feel natural and sometimes even seemed to disappear out of sight (although the photos prove she was there all along). She truly is an artist! We also appreciated Rebecca and Stephanie getting onto the dance floor and grooving with us while capturing hilarious moments. We highly recommend Rebecca if you want authentic, beautiful photos from someone who understands how to include cultural and personal values in your special event!

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

Taylor is awesome!! She was so fun to work with! She did my bridal session and also my wedding! I couldn’t be any happier with my photos! The day we had my bridals scheduled it snowed and she brought gloves, a shaw, and hand warmers for myself and my mom and friend that tagged along! She made sure to get every picture I wanted as well as made sure all of my family made it into my pictures at the wedding.

I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

Cody is not only an amazing person, but he also does absolutely incredible work. From the first time we met Cody, you could easily tell how passionate he is about what he does and the couples he gets to work with. He went above and beyond to capture our special day, and we are so grateful to have had him as our photographer. We could not recommend Cody enough!

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

Kathleen is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. Her professionalism and quality of product are unmatched. She goes above and beyond with her work and you can tell how passionate she is about it. If you want someone with great energy, clear communication, incredible products, great professionalism, and so much more then she’s your girl!

We can not thank Hannah and Michael enough for being a part of our special day. We knew right off the bat they would be a perfect fit. Both of us do not normally like to take photos of ourselves, but they immediately put us at ease. It was like we were already friends for years! We chose to elope, and on the day of Hannah & Michael were not only our photographers but also stand in bridesmaid/groomsman helping us to get ready, watching our dog child, and having fun with us. I cried a lot, but laughed even more. AND TO THE PHOTOS. Hannah has a special gift. Each one captures the day and who we are so perfectly. I can not stop going through them. If you are looking for someone that can capture you, your personality as a couple, AND have fun then Hannah and Michael are your team.

  • Serves Castro Valley, CA for additional fees

I’m a Sunshine State native, a Pisces, and a lover of the outdoors. Photography is my favorite way to connect with people. The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Sufia through a recommendation from another Central Florida photographer, and we're so glad that we crossed paths with her! We booked her for our small wedding in March of 2021, and shortly after that booking we had engagement photos done. She had perfect recommendations for locations that would fit us, and was also so sweet and patient with our pup that we brought along for the morning too. Even in the super humid Florida weather, we had a great time doing our session and we loved the pictures- They're hanging in our house now! Once our wedding rolled around, Sufia and her partner for the day were lovely to work with- My husband and I are both pretty introverted, but they made the environment relaxing and fun. Sufia found ways to inject little pieces of our life into the final photos, which is so special to get to look back on- Even managing to get in some fun pictures with our very young nieces and nephews, which is no small feat with so many personalities in play. I loved our experiences so much, and actually booked her again just this month for some couple photos to commemorate a personal event. Of course the logistical things are important- she's prompt, professional, and the quality of her work is wonderful- but on top of that, she's simply a great individual with a warm, kind energy, and a genuine desire to gift others with memories of their most special days. If you have the opportunity to work with her, do it!

Yadira is a Bakersfield native that was raised by immigrant parents. She fell in love with love at a young age through art, music, & poetry. From that inspiration, Yadira always wanted to create art with love as the central theme. She began doing photography at the age of 14 and was mentored by local published and award winning photographers for 3 years. By the age of 17, she moved to North Hollywood where she was taught and mentored by high end fashion photographers who worked for Vogue, Vanity Fair, Style Magazine, Elle, and more.

Yadira did some photography here for a friend and she was very polite... took some very nice phots...kind hearted...professional attitude... and seemed very organized... I would recommend Ninety Nine Photography to anyone.

Hi, I'm Joni! I've been photographing couples for over 10 years now and I just can't seem to get enough of it! My warm, bubbly personality always seems to keep EVERYONE in good spirits throughout the wedding day! I’m a calming force when things start to get stressful and ready to keep the energy up to dance the night away together! Sometimes wedding days don't go exactly as planned. I’m extremely flexible and prepared to provide expert, judgment-free guidance to help you pivot and get right back to having the time of your life!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Joni. She was masterful in her ability to capture all of the small details, manage many crazy family members, and produce the most stunning photos of our special day. I picked Joni because someone told me before booking a photographer to make sure that you see photos of hidden moments in their portfolio, not just the family portraits. Well, she went above and beyond on this! She captured such beautiful moments... like the mother of the bride and groom holding hands during the ceremony! She was also incredibly patient and managed the family photos like a PRO! We got through so many photos in no time at all! Joni worked very well with our videographers too! We keep comparing our friends' wedding photos and being amazed at the quality of Joni's work. She captured such stunning photographs in beautiful vivid and real coloring - none of the washed out or weirdly edited photos I see from other wedding photographers. Truly just perfect and beautiful photos. Thank you, Joni!
