I had so much wedding photo anxiety after our first photographer cancelled. I couldn't be happier that she did, because it led us to Juls!!! She was so amazing to work with, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. She seamlessly captured all of our special moments with her incredible artistic style. So many of our guests came up to us afterwards to compliment Julianne's work and professionalism. You truly cannot go wrong with Julianne Drake Photography - we are thrilled with the beautiful memories she was able to create for us on our wedding day.

Her style leans documentary and a little wild, capturing celebrations as they actually felt. Based in Florida and available for travel worldwide.

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!!

Walsh Collective 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Cottondale, FL

Walsh Collective is a husband and wife photo/video team based out of Destin Florida. Hey, we’re Tabitha and Kevin, and we’re here to celebrate you no matter what you choose. We’ve documented large weddings at the most sought-after Florida venues, intimate beach elopements along the Florida coast, and everything in between.

I was drawn to Tabitha due to our mutual obsession with Harry Potter and as I expected, it was the best decision we could have made. We got married back in September and not only did Tabitha have a sneak peek available the VERY NEXT DAY but had our full album over to us in less than a month. Both our engagement and wedding photos look like they are straight out of a bridal magazine which isn't just my opinion, but our friends and family as well! She was a joy to work with, exceeding all our expectations. Tabitha is fun, quirky and will do anything to make sure you are comfortable. It was almost 90 degrees on our wedding day, so she suggested we take some photos in the bridal loft (which was beautiful) to stay cool. Not only did she stop us from miserably sweating, but the photos are just stunning. If you are uncomfortable taking photos, I promise Tabitha can put you at ease. Always trust the photographer! I cannot recommend her enough!!

Wedding planning is sooooo stressful, and Lacie and her team made the photography part such a breeze!!! I told my fiance that I was nervous about choosing a photographer because our pictures would last forever, but with Lacie all of that anxiety was gone!! I love how she doesn’t have just one specific style, but she takes the kind of pictures that YOU want. She was great at helping my husband and I with poses and she was even more amazing helping us at our wedding!! If I had to do it all over again I would still pick her to shoot our wedding. She did amazing!!!

My husband and I are not big picture takers and are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but Maria was the best person to walk us through the steps. We first met her for our engagement photos and she made the process so much fun. We all laughed so much and it made my husband and I that much more excited for our wedding! On the day of our wedding, Maria was energetic and welcoming to everyone. She gave clear directions and made sure everyone was comfortable. She sent us the perfect sneak peak photos as well.
