As a wedding photographer, I see myself as a storyteller, capturing and sharing my clients' unique narratives through powerful images. I find the greatest joy in documenting genuine moments of love and excitement, preserving cherished memories that will endure. To achieve this, I prioritize creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, where my clients can freely express their true emotions. This fosters spontaneous laughter and authentic connections, which I believe are the heart and soul of photography.

I started photography years ago as an elective in college and I never knew what it would become. I've always maintained full time jobs (I've been a graphic designer and special education teacher) but my passion for photography kept me pursuing it on the side. Eventually I became so consumed by my efforts that I was able to go full time in my business. I care deeply about my clients. Not only do I want you to have a great time but I want you to love your photos. I work tirelessly on always growing and refining my craft to deliver the best, most timeless photos.

I'm passionate about the experiences that make life special, and I think your wedding deserves to be captured authentically and with care — both the quiet and unseen moments as well as the heart-stirring, spectacular moments. When I shot my first wedding 11 years ago, I discovered my passion for storytelling and the joy of being invited into the most important moments of someone’s life...and I’ve never looked back! Even 100+ weddings later, I still get so excited and a little teary eyed with each new couple I meet.

Moments. Details. Emotions. These are the things that define you, your life and your most important events. How do you want to remember them? My approach is to be as non-invasive and invisible as possible. The less you know I am there, the more reality I am able to capture. I do not want to be a director. I want to be an observer; a documentarian; most importantly, a story teller. Each moment in your life builds a story. That story deserves to be relived and passed on. i want to help you remember those moments, those details, those emotions that make up your life.

I am where I am today because of dance. I used to be a part of competitive dance team before I fell in love with visual storytelling. After a while of being in front of the lens for photo shoots and dance videos, I ended wanting to switch sides and start documenting my life and those around me. I still get happy feet when I hear the right song, so you best believe I’ll be dancing with you on the dance floor. If can already guess, dancing at the reception is favorite part at any wedding.

A few years ago I was in your shoes, except, I didn't get the images of my dreams. I got a photographer for our wedding day, and I had no idea what I was doing. On the day of my wedding, my photographer made me feel stressed and uncomfortable with all the posing and lack of communication. And when I got my images back, I wasn't happy with the results and there wasn't anything I could do about it. That's why I'm here for YOU! Because your wedding is more than just a day with some photos.

When it comes to my business I have two major “whys” that fuel my passion. The first is my family. I’m a single mama of 3 and I have been so blessed to work as a photographer full time. This has allowed me so much time freedom to be with my children during important times and live a very fluid lifestyle. While I love my children I have always been passionate about people and my career. Photography allows me to meet the coolest people and create amazing things over and over. I love working with my clients to bring something new and capture memories that show who they are. Weddings are so special and I’m so grateful to get to be a part of them!

It’s life’s simple moments that really get me inspired. Endless sun soaked walks with my pup Ollie + husband Michael, thrifting, vegging out on the beach until I've lost track of time, coffee shops with pals, testing out a new vegan recipe, or sharing a glass of wine with the people that I love. I live for the small, slow, nostalgic moments. Growing up, I was a quiet observer, always dreaming and creating. My desire to photograph + document grew so organically, and now I'm lucky enough to say that I have been photographing professionally for nine years, and truly never see myself stopping.

  • Starts at $3,000

We are husband and wife storytellers. We have been married for 11 years and have been shooting together for almost all of that. We're inspired by love, emotion, and movement; and we aim to capture moments in a way that tells a story. Your story. So that you and all the future yous can relive it for generations to come!

Having Remi + Tori as our photographers for our wedding was a complete dream. We originally booked them pre-pandemic and had to postpone. They graciously moved our date without any fees and the communication was top notch. Not only that, our photos from both our engagement shoot and wedding were incredible. The attention to detail to make sure every photo was just right didn't go unnoticed. We will be using them in the future for other major life events!

Hi! I'm Katrina, but my friends call me K. ​ I shoot a mix of film and digital on your wedding day. I LOVE capturing real-life moments and telling the truth through photo and video. I think you should know that I don't do a ton of posing and directing (only when I need to). My focus is on the emotion thats naturally unfolding in front of me. There's a TON of it, so why step in and change that? I bring a calm and relaxed energy to your day, allowing you to soak in every moment and be present. Photos don't have to be a checklist on your wedding day, I prioritize whatever YOU want to do on your wedding day and I capture that.

Hi! We’re Tyler & Lindsay Gipe. We’ve been married 12 years and have two spunky daughters, Penny (8) and Willow (6). Tyler is from Huntington Beach, California and has been taking pictures for over a decade. He got his bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts Media with a Photography emphasis from UCSD. I (Lindsay) am from Nashville, Tennessee and graduated from Biola University with an English Writing degree. We’re so grateful to have each other - our interests are shared and improved upon, like photography. Taking pictures and writing stories became something we both do and love. Together we help people remember the best days of life.

An absolute dream team! Husband/wife team who are the perfect mix of professional and fun. I felt like my wedding went by way too fast. So I am so glad Gipe photography provided me with the best photos to look back on and enjoy the day over and over again. Great mix of the traditional posed pics (for the fam) and the natural/candid pics that truly capture the moments. I would 100% recommend them to anyone needing professional photography for weddings or ANY event/occasion

A little bit about me so you feel like you're connecting with a real person- I'm Emily. I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and so I love animals and nature. I love thrift stores, tropical plants, and horses. I live with a little tribe of wildmen- my husband, my two year old, and our cat who is probably part lion. I have a counseling degree and that has really formed me as a photographer. My film guy is my husband Zach, and we met in a library. He knows five different ways to brew coffee and can play six different instruments.

Emily was such a kind and organized communicator from the very beginning! She made me feel like my wedding was in great hands and that my photos would be filled with my personality, emotions, once-in-a-lifetime moments, and that if anything went wrong, she would be able to come up with a quick fix. The way she works with light is amazing. Most importantly though, she's phenomenal with people. The way she interacts helps people to feel so natural and authentic because she really sets people at ease and makes them feel comfortable. I'm a pretty awkward person but I was amazed that working with Emily brings out my confident, sexy, joyful side. She's a magician and an angel. Stop looking for your wedding photographer- if she's free, HIRE HER.

I am a lover of love and adventure. I am a pretty down person (I free dive with sharks so if that doesn't say something...) I moved to Hawaii in 4 hours notice and quit my corporate job to chase my dreams and here I am! I'm a bit of a minimalist like to think I'm pretty fun. I'm an ocean conservationist and use my skills to also educate people about human impacts and ways to make shifts in our own lives in order to help the planet. I am really big on quality over quantity. I would rather deliver a handful of WOW photos over a ton of average photos to fill a number.

Taylor Walston is considerate of those around her, kind, and efficient in her own work. She is easy going, yet confident in what she is doing and leads well!

Richa was such a delight to work with from the moment we booked her! We had such clear communication from the contract signing to getting our albums printed.

She made taking pictures so fun.... It honestly felt like we were long time friends. All of the pictures look like they are straight out of a fairytale.

  • Serves Dana Point, CA

I am a full-time wedding photographer based in San Diego and first things first, I want you to know your wedding is a huge deal to me. As your wedding photographer, I'm your ultimate third-well and your right-hand-woman. I’m like your bridesmaid / groomslady with a camera. More than just a hired vendor, I’ll be your cheerleader, encourager, organizer, drink-getter, and the gal screaming “YAYYYY" because I’m so excited about the awesome photos we’re creating together. With the experience, knowledge, and expertise of photographing nearly 300 weddings, I am here with you every step of the way. Can’t wait to be along this journey with you!!!

Stop looking for photographers - you’ve found the best one!! Here’s why: 1. She’s a tremendously talented photographer. Kami does her research, keeps you relaxed/comfortable, and is super creative. She was extremely prepared for our engagement shoot and on our wedding day and achieved amazing results (look at her albums). On our wedding day, she positioned herself thoughtfully, and respectfully. 2. Kami is a true professional, super fun and keeps it light. She brings amazingly positive energy, is fun to be around (an absolute bundle of joy) and has a higher level of emotional intelligence than anyone we know. She made us so comfortable in our pictures which reflected in how much we loved how they turned out. 3. Kami is a leader in both her field and as a person. If you could create a perfect photographer (and person) to go through a pandemic with, it would be her. Throughout some of the most difficult times of the COVID-19 crisis, she was calm, empathetic and so committed to making sure we were doing well, even when we had to reschedule, etc. We talked to her multiple times about our situation and she not only made us feel better afterwards, but feel on top of the world. She was with us at the worst moments and of course at the best (our 7 person wedding). Take a second to reflect on the impact that the COVID-19 crisis had on photographers. 4. Kami is a great communicator. Always proactive, respectful, and timely You learn a little bit about a person during the good times, but you truly learn about a person through the worst of times. We’ve known Kami over the last 1.5 years including through the COVID-19 pandemic and have learned about how she is an amazing photographer (again look at her albums!!), but more importantly an amazing person. She will be with you through it all. Congratulations on finding your photographer (and likely a great friend)!

My name is Serge Doronin, and I'm all about freezing those real, unposed moments on your big day. You know, the belly laughs, the happy tears, the stolen glances - those are the shots that really tell your love story. I'm not your typical wedding photographer who poses every shot. Nah, I'm all about capturing the in-between stuff that often goes unnoticed. The candid stuff that makes your day uniquely yours. I believe that those unplanned moments hold the most genuine emotions, and that's what I'm after.

Serge shot my engagement and wedding with Nadin, and he was Amazing! I’ve never seen candid photos like this before, on our engagement/lovestory shoot, he styled us up, showed us the location and the mood board. He is all about taking photos in the moment. We are overall happy with his services.

I've always had a love for art and from the moment I picked up my first camera in 2019 everything has just fallen into place.

I was very impressed with her effort to find the best possible picture placements and was even more impressed when we saw the final product - every photo (of 1,000) were breathtaking!! We had multiple guest compliment her pictures following the event. She was true to her timeline and delivered the photos in a nice portfolio exactly when she said she would.

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

Caroline captured our small intimate wedding perfectly! Her warm personality and professionalism made us feel so comfortable infront of the camera. The photos turned out beautifully. Highly recommend working with her.

My name is Trung, the head honcho at this eponymously named company. My name is pronounced “Troon”, which sounds like spoon, so ignore those other letters that make life complicated. I've been a photographer for close to 10 years, photographing things big and small, far and wide. It's pretty incredible how impactful and valuable a split second image of a given time, place, person, or object can mean to a person. Whether it's a photograph of someone you love or a place you'd love to be, photographs spark memories or inspire the pursuit of new ones and that's why I love it.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Trung and his wife for a wedding in San Jose, CA and it went really smooth. We had lots of fun with the couple so it made the whole day really enjoyable and stress free. We both got our shots and worked really well together. The client was happy, we were happy, everyone was happy! His photos are the bomb dot com. Look no further and hire Trung!

Hey there! I am Elizabeth, the owner & head photographer of Elizabeth Yanna Photography. I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

Working with Elizabeth is amazing. It’s no wonder why all of her couples love her! She’s so much fun to be around and in tough situations, can figure out a quick solution very calmly. Elizabeth is super creative and has a keen eye for detail. Just book with her, you won’t regret it!

Life is full of little moments that all add up to make one big story. The story of YOU. These little moments are the ones that matter the most, and the ones that you can look back on with a smile. On your wedding day, these moments unfold into the story of one of the most important days of your life. From the tears streaming down your face as you embrace your mom before the ceremony, to the goofy smile that your partner gives you after shoving cake into your face, to the feeling as you drive off newly married with the love of your life, feeling like you could shout from the highest mountain or sing at the top of your lungs.

Hannah was the easiest person to work with! She’s got a great personality and her work speaks for itself! Her editing style is why I chose her, very natural! She will capture your day flawlessly :)

Madeline is amazing! We LOVED Working with Madeline! When looking for a wedding photographer, we were impressed with Madeline's portfolio because her photos are all absolutely stunning and show that she can adapt to different couples' styles. However, what sealed the deal was her amazing personality. We wanted to hire a photographer we felt comfortable with, and Madeline is so sweet and hilariously funny. She made us feel so at ease! On our wedding day, Madeline and her husband, her second shooter, Brian, were SO on top of everything. They acted as our north stars, guiding us through the night. They knew where we needed to go, what we needed to be doing, who we needed to take pics with, everything! They knew how to handle weird family dynamics without missing a beat and even brought us water! Plus, they did all of this while making us laugh. Our wedding was amazing, and I don't know how we could have done it without them! And the photos turned out beautifully! We definitely made the right decision in hiring Madeline.

Hi, I’m Jamie. I’m a Cincinnati Ohio based wedding & elopement photographer with a suitcase packed for anywhere. You can usually find me exploring a new coffee shop with my pup Scout & husband Ryan. Wife, was a role I never really strived for. Even when I was young, instead of planning my wedding with barbies, I was a dreamer planning how I was going to move to NYC & become a famous artist. I was of the mindset that my plans would be soiled if I invited someone else into them. What I've learned is that with the right person, exploring never stops & marrying Ryan has been my greatest adventure yet.
