Awarded Best of Zola
We had such an easy time working with Enchanted Celebrations staff that I would jump at choosing them again! Blair and Summer were professional, thorough, empathetic and communicated very clearly all the different features of the videography plans so that we felt like we chose the right plan for our wedding day. As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer. Edwin’s style was spot-on with what we imagined and the videos came out beautiful and so much quicker than we expected them. We’re delighted with our experience!

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose the package with two photographers and one videographer for nine hours, and it was absolutely worth it. One feature we really appreciated was the option to expedite our photos within a two-week timeframe—it was such a nice touch. We received over 1,000 photos, and they are all beautiful! They captured every special moment we hoped for, and the candid shots truly mean so much to me. It’s amazing to have so many memories to look back on, especially since the day goes by so quickly. We got married just over two weeks ago, so we’re still waiting on our video package, but based on everything we’ve received so far, I know it will be beautifully put together. The photographers and videographers were all so kind and wonderful to work with. Thank you for capturing our special day so perfectly!

Planning a wedding with mostly DIY elements to it, Bhanu was helpful in providing a suggested day-of timeline and also being accomodating on the actual wedding day. For the photography, he gave me and my husband plenty of time to naturally spend time together away from the crowd to take in the moment. He took both natural and guided poses to create a gallery of the most precious photos. As a lover of all art forms, I was especially appreciative of the natural photos of our wedding guests and the gorgeous sunset couple shoot we did as the evening drew to a close.

Maggie and Patrick did such an amazing job! Maggie indeed leads with “grace and authority” and quickly poses big groups (even the people that aren’t that into it). We had so much fun getting to know them and appreciate the extra effort they put into meetings to plan our timeline for the day. They are the nicest people and added so much energy to a very long day. Maggie even went the extra step and made sure that the table numbers were facing the door and helped me place decor. They both have a great eye for detail. We are in love with our photos and are so happy with their services!

Amazing Wedding Photographer – Highly Recommend! Victoria is an absolute gem! From our very first meeting, it was clear she is passionate about her craft and genuinely cares about capturing the essence of your special day. She was incredibly professional, organized, and attentive to every detail, making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, Victoria was everywhere yet never intrusive. She has an incredible eye for capturing candid moments as well as perfectly posed shots. The lighting, angles, and creativity in her photos are stunning. When we received our final gallery, we were blown away—every photo was a masterpiece that brought all the emotions of the day flooding back. What truly sets Victoria apart is her warm personality and ability to connect with people. Our guests adored her, and she made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document one of the most important days of our lives. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, and a joy to work with, Victoria is the one!

Layla was a WONDERFUL photographer. We knew from our engagement shoot that she would bring the same positive, warm, and comforting vibe to the wedding day but she exceeded expectations. She brought a second photographer (per our request) that we hadn't met before but both of them connected with all of our wedding guests, captured the most beautiful, intimate, and representative moments. We were sad when they left but not for the lack of photography! It took about 6 weeks to get our photos and they were amazing - we got nearly a thousand edited shots from the day, meaning we'll get to relive the entire night for the rest of our lives.

For me, photography is about preserving the authentic joy and genuine feelings that make your love story unique. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a storyteller, an artist, and a curator of memories. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that is uniquely yours. I take a personalized approach to each project, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences. The result is an individualized experience where every detail is curated to ensure your day is as special and distinctive as your love.

We knee we wanted to hire Jasmine immediately after speaking with her! She has an extremely calming energy that we knew would be reassuring to have on our wedding day. Her entire team was phenomenal to work with. We received compliments from all of our bridal party on how easy the team was to work with. She provided simple poses that made everyone feel comfortable but she also made sure that anything specific we wanted photographed was covered. Receiving all of the short video clips right after the wedding was such a nice touch and had us very excited to get our gallery! The photos all turned out beautifully and we loved having the option of color or black and white. I wanted a focus less on posed photos and more on genuine interactions with our loved ones and all of that truly shines through in her work. We also had Jasmine at our welcome party and highly recommend having her cover that til as it allowed her to meet all of our VIPs prior to the big day. We can’t say enough good things about Jasmine! She is a must hire for your wedding day!

Choosing Rachel & her team was one of the best decisions we made wedding planning! We hired her for our engagement photos, wedding day photos, as well as Super8 film coverage. If you’re reading this review, I’m sure you’ve seen her portfolio and her work is obviously stunning. She brings an authentic feel to all of her photos and is amazing at capturing the unplanned/ non staged moments. That being said, her and her team are also amazing about helping couples pose for those staged portraits. My husband and I are not the most natural in front of the camera and she immediately made us feel at ease and directed us in a way that still felt natural & true to us. If you’re considering adding on the Super8 film coverage- do it! We wanted video coverage of our wedding but we felt that many of the videography examples we were seeing by other providers were too produced and inauthentic. When I watched a sample of a Super8 film her team had done in the past and teared up watching strangers say I do, I knew her Super8 was the right direction for us. Our video means so much to us. It feels timeless and captures all of the emotions throughout the day. We watch it each month anniversary of our wedding and it never fails to make me tear up. I lastly want to share a lover letter to her and her entire team. They are incredibly kind, funny, and make you feel at ease immediately. I never felt uncomfortable or self conscious with them. We found ourselves laughing all day. Not only are they all incredibly talented, but they work so well together and radiate chill positivity. Moral of this story- you need to hire Rachel & her team. Period.

No amount of words can express our gratitude to Lester & Dreisbach Photography and I could spend all day talking about how wonderful they are. They are beyond amazing and such beautiful human beings! We had searched high & low for the perfect fit and they both exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was back in November 2021 and the weather was pretty much all seasons rolled into one day making things extremely difficult and how they made it all work is a miracle! From our first Skype meeting(thanks Covid) they were so warm, friendly, down to earth and such fun, we talked for hours! We literally booked them that day as we didn't want anyone else. The communication was fantastic and their service was like no other, especially during such an uncertain time with Covid. They were flexible and really made us feel special on our day, you can see just how passionate they are about their craft! Their passion is infectious and we had sooooooo much fun having our photos taken by them, the freezing cold wind & jumping over fences were all made worth it. They're both so dedicated and one of our photos always makes me smile knowing that they had thrown my veil up into the air to try and get a great shot and had to run off into the bushes to avoid being in the photo(their dedication and yet care for you is next level!). They also made all our guests feel super at ease when taking photos. Considering how short on time we were and the weather constraints, we got so many amazing photos and we loved that you not only get the "editorial"/artistic shots but also beautiful candid moments captured that you don't even see yourself! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much we are forever grateful for having been able to have you apart of our special day!

I blend digital, film, and Super 8 to create images that feel timeless and full of emotion — a balance of editorial artistry and genuine storytelling. My passion for photography began with a Polaroid camera as a child, a love for art, fashion, and history. I’ve grown into a lifelong love of preserving memories that become heirlooms. Every wedding I photograph is personal to me — it’s about honoring your story, your people, and the fleeting, beautiful moments that deserve to be remembered forever.

Morr Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Alyssa's communication was prompt, effective, and completely professional. Her vision and attention to detail were impeccable, and she captured all the special moments we were hoping for and so much more. As someone who doesn't always feel photogenic, Alyssa made me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She has now photographed our engagement, wedding, and we're even doing our maternity photos with her this week - her talent is truly timeless and the quality of her work is simply excellent. I cannot recommend Alyssa and Morr Photography enough to any couple planning their wedding. She went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect, even when our wedding planner dropped the ball on a couple of things. Her warm personality and incredible skill behind the lens make her an invaluable asset for any couple's special day.

I'm Ciana, a documentary-style wedding and elopement photographer based along the East Coast, serving adventurous and experience-driven couples all over the world. Using film and digital mediums, I've developed a knack for chasing stories - the kind that are told through landscapes, reinvented traditions, fleeting glances, and wholesome conversations.

Working with Wild Elements Photography was a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. Ciana was incredibly transparent, effective, and thorough with communication, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. Her work is thoughtful, intentional, and showcases a clear dedication to her craft. On our wedding day, Ciana and Ryan made the entire experience enjoyable and seamless, capturing all the special moments in a natural and unobtrusive way. We are thrilled with the final photos and could not recommend Wild Elements Photography more highly.
