David and his team were absolutely phenomenal to work with. Between the quantity and quality of photos we received, and just the ease of working with him, it was worth every penny. From our first engagement photo session to the wedding day itself, David made it so easy and fun to be in front of the camera. We are so in love with the photos, and then our wedding highlight video was the cherry on top. We cannot wait to watch our video every year (probably more frequently...), completely re-immersing ourselves in the best day of our lives. Thank you David and team!!

Chances are, you landed on this page because you’re looking for remarkable wedding photos that not only challenge the status-quo, but also serve as a unique and special family heirloom.

We’re so glad we chose Nova Imagery for our engagement session! From the very first conversation, they made us feel completely at ease. Every picture felt so natural and perfectly captured who we are as a couple. The team is professional, friendly, and so talented. They knew all the best spots in Orlando and worked with us to create photos that felt unique to our story. We’ve been looking at the pictures over and over. They’re just that good! I’m already so excited for our wedding day because I know they’ll go above and beyond to make those memories just as special.

However, looking through our photos, Brendan expertly made it look like a beautiful sunset! For our wedding he was super communicative, met with us beforehand to make sure he knew what our wants and needs were, and even helped answer some wedding related questions we had just from his experience working in the wedding industry.

Joanna gives direction well and again, is hilarious. Both communicate SO well and their passion for photography is inspiring. We felt more than comfortable with them along our entire journey!! Our photos are GORGEOUS and they truly captured the memories that we will remember forever. I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

Rachael Marie Photography was an incredible choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Rachael was quick to respond to all of our questions and communicated clearly with us throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, she was fun, caring, and gave great direction to help us look our best in the photos. The final photos were absolutely gorgeous - moody, high-quality, and reliable. We especially loved getting a quick preview of some of the photos just a few days after the wedding. Rachael truly captured the magic of our special day, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

I met Melissa working in the industry on one of the most difficult shoots I've ever been on. That night she was a total professional and amazing photographer and we quickly bonded. I trust her so much that when it was time for my wedding she was who I asked to capture it. She travelled to France to photograph our wedding and was there like one of our family. She kept us calm and having fun in the stressful moments and her creativity made some of the most incredible wedding photos we could have imagined. Now years later Melissa is the person we call first when it is time to capture our family growing. If her photographs aren't enough to convince you, take it from someone who filmed weddings for 13 years; Melissa is the person you want capturing your day.

FêteFone® is a modern twist on the traditional guest book—where guests talk instead of write. Using a stylish vintage phone, your loved ones can leave heartfelt, funny, and unforgettable voice messages that capture the true spirit of your celebration. Your big day goes by in a flash, but with FêteFone, you’ll have the voices, laughter, and love preserved forever. Imagine hearing your grandmother’s kind words, your best friend's inside jokes, or the excitement in your guests’ voices—all at the lift of a receiver. FêteFone helps you capture the magic of your celebration—the joy, the tears, the laughter—in a way you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

We were initially drawn to FêteFone because it was such a fun and different idea—but I had no idea just how meaningful it would become. Hearing our grandparents’ voices, our best friends cracking up, and even the sweet slurred messages from our dance floor crew—it all made us laugh and cry in the best way. The setup was truly plug-and-play. We now keep our vintage mint-green FêteFone displayed on a shelf at home, and every so often we pick up the receiver just to relive that joy. It’s not just a guest book—it’s a time capsule of love. I can’t recommend it enough.
