I'm Taylor, your favorite irreverent wedding and elopement photographer, dog mom, and the most fun you've had during a photoshoot since, like, ever.

Meagan Forbes Photography
Hampstead, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dana Point, CA for additional fees

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.

  • Serves Dana Point, CA for additional fees

I am creative at heart. A hustle hard and give 100% for you, kinda girl. My second shooter? That would be my husband Marc who has been voted (by me) most likely to make anyone laugh until they cry. It’s no big surprise that witty banter is what drew Marc and I together, and I couldn’t ask for a better husband. (Plus, he’s pretty hot so there’s that.) As photographers, we draw inspiration from gorgeous florals, stunning details, and historical architecture, but what inspires us the most is the love and connection between our couples. I mean, isn’t that what it’s really all about? Photographs that make your heart flutter and tell your story.

San Clemente, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

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

Lancaster, PA
  • Photojournalistic style

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Emily more than delivered when it came to capturing our big day. She made every effort for us to be comfortable and guide us into effortless photos that turned out wonderfully. The quality of photos that she delivered to us in our gallery were so lovely. We 1000% recommend Fern & Fountain to any prospective couples looking to have the uniqueness of their relationship captured. Bonus points for a photography that makes it a point to get to know her couples and build a relationship with them alongside photographing their relationship and special day. You will not be disappointed!

Haleiwa, HI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Dana Point, CA

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.

My husband and I were traveling to Maui for our 4 year anniversary and we were looking for adventure photos to document our trip. I searched and searched and finally found Taylor and immediately knew I HAD to book with her. The entire experience was fantastic. She was extremely professional but also super personable, my husband and I immediately felt comfortable with her. We trusted her every second of the experience- from asking what outfit would look best, to whatever location she thought would be best, and then went in to the session with no expectations other than to let her do what she does best. And I just have to say, Taylor does more than just capture images she captures absolute art. The images from this trip are images we are going to cherish for the rest of our lives! I'm already trying to plan another trip to Hawaii just so we can work with Taylor again.

Hi! I’m Kristen a portrait & Wedding photographer based in the Bay Area. I am married to my favorite person since March 28, 2015. But we have been together for 15 years!! I love love to laugh and I love making people laugh, which is why I love photography so much! I love spontaneous trips to anywhere new and love any movie with Rachel McAdams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kristen is the best. From the start, when I first reached out to her about an engagement session and shooting for our wedding she was a pleasure to interact with and very responsive. I appreciated that she was upfront with her pricing and clear about what was included with each package. This was definitely not something I saw when reaching out with other photographers. We booked with her and had our engagement session with my now husbands two kids and our new dog, to say it was chaotic was an understatement but she was so nice and accommodating about it all. She made friends with my husband and made both of us feel very comfortable in a situation that isn’t so natural for us. Fast forward to our wedding, by this time we felt like we were friends with Kristen and her husband. They were an absolute delight! It’s 2 weeks after our wedding, we are in LOVE with our sneak peaks and we just had dinner with friends that were at the wedding and they had the best compliment for Kristen and her husband. They said they were amazing, the best photographers make you feel like they aren’t even there but still capture all of the important moments, and that is exactly what they did! The last thing I will mention is that I have had experiences with photographers that can be pretty intense and a little over the top which was something that never made me feel very comfortable. Kristen was the perfect balance between being approachable but also making sure we got all the shots that we needed. We will absolutely be working with her for all of our photography needs in the future!

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!!!

I can not recommend Kami enough! She made our wedding photography process so effortless. I never had to guess or wonder what the next steps in my planning were, she was ON IT! She worked with me on my timeline to make sure it was the most efficient timeline while considering everything I wanted to include in my day. She had so many great suggestions that really helped me with my timeline. Everything went SO smoothly! On the day of the wedding, she brought so much fun and light energy which calmed our nerves so much! She somehow even made family and wedding party pictures FUN! Everyone LOVED her. She is a true pro, super knowledgeable, and she put so much care and love into our day! The images from our wedding are TO DIE FOR! I seriously can't stop staring at them. Our wedding wouldn't have gone as smoothly, been as fun, or had the images we love every day if Kami hadn't been our photographer. To sum up, Kami is the best, look no further, you've found the best photographer you could ever dream of.

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 have always had a passion for photography and once I picked up a camera, it was all over. I was raised from a big family and my kids are my world! Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have a special love for being back there. I consider myself very outgoing and will always try and make you laugh and feel comfortable by being a huge dork. I think that is one of the biggest compliments I get is that my clients always feel relaxed and at ease and I love hearing that. Not to mention becoming friends with my clients which is an added bonus! ​

Hiring Jeff Hall as our wedding photographer was one of the first wedding decisions we made, and from there on out I knew everything was going to be fantastic. When meeting him for engagement photos, we all instantly hit it off and I knew he'd easy and FUN to work with. He's a photographer willing to go over and beyond to get THE perfect shot (wade through water, climb trees, shuffle through snow, lay in dirt. All of it.) The one thing I wanted at the end of the day was fantastic photos to look back on and hang in our home, and we received better photos than I ever dreamed of (and fast!). In fact, I loved him and the photos so much, I'm just counting down to when I can drag him to other countries for anniversary trips photoshoots! I'd recommend Jeff in a heartbeat to any couple!

I've shot countless weddings, family and portrait sessions over these past 6 years and I look forward to shooting countless more in the future!

Kelly and her assistants were easy to work with and got all of the photos that I had asked for! I wanted more candid than posed photos and she made that happen. Photos were beautifully done and quickly returned as well.

After all, the camera can do more than paint a portrait – it can document a feeling and make it tangible.

This was our first time having professional photos and I’m so happy they were done by Gia. She’s Incredibly professional, gave great direction, had a fast turnaround time and the photos came out so beautiful. I recommend her to all my friends!!

Lulan studio is a premium wedding photography and videography studio based in Los Angeles. We specialize in cinematic style wedding photography and videography in LA. Our work encompasses wedding and engagement photography and videography, elopement and portrait sessions.

We found Lulan Studio because my husband was looking through our venue's instagram page and found a photo he loved that was taken by one of their photographers. The cinematic and photojournalistic style was exactly what we were looking for, and knew we found our photographer when we went to their website. The communication leading up to the wedding was always very quick and responsive. Alli was our photographer, and I cannot express enough how absolutely wonderful she was. Not only is she phenomenal at what she does and her work obviously speaks for itself, but she made the whole day fun and I always felt her looking out for us. When my veil kept coming off as I walked down the aisle, I was just going to forget it in the moment so I didn't have to deal with it. When I got to the front, I felt someone securing it in the back of my hair. At the time, I thought it was my mother-in-law since I had given it to her, but later I was told Alli said that I would regret it, and she put it on for me. In retrospect, she is absolutely right and I can't possibly say how appreciative and supported I felt by her the whole day. You will be overwhelmingly happy with Lulan Studio's work and Alli by your side.

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 will be recommending Ksenia to every friend looking for a wedding photographer in the Seattle area. Thank you so much!!

She studied photography in AAVI, in addition to many other degrees,but her true quality was gained by experience.

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

It's hard to describe the impact Maya had on my wedding day. Every review you'll read for her speaks to her energy and enthusiasm and how she "sets the vibe" for the day: and they are spot-on. I'd say she excels in four areas - obviously her photography skills, but also her attitude, flexibility, and communication. Communication - From day one when I made an inquiry online, she set up a facetime call so we could get a good feel for whether or not it would be a good fit. She communicates promptly via email, text, instagram, or whatever, and is very clear and direct. Flexibility - Something is always bound to go wrong on a wedding day - and for us, we lost our elopement ceremony site to a massive wildfire! Maya was able to send me a whole list of alternate places for photographs and ceremonies, and she actually made it work to take first-look pictures at a gorgeous site the day BEFORE the wedding so we could make the wedding day timeline work. There were changes to the timeline and even ceremony itself up until the very last minute and she not only rolled with every punch, but also had suggestions and solutions to everything that came up. Attitude/Enthusiasm - Believe me when I say that I don't usually photograph well and my husband can be somewhat stiff in front of a camera. Maya brought such an exuberant presence to our day that helped us relax and be able to enjoy the process. She was our greatest cheerleader and created such a joyful atmosphere. Be prepared, as you twirl in your dress and share a kiss in front of the camera, to hear her exclaiming "as I LIVE!" and other such utterances of excitement. My entire wedding party commented on how she set the mood for the day and everyone still talks about when she jumped on the dance floor to Wobble with us! Photography skills - Obviously, none of this would matter if she didn't take great photos, but her images are phenomenal. She has a way of identifying your energy and vibe as a couple, and getting that captured in pictures. She will do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot - I have a great picture I took of HER climbing a tree, camera in hand, bag on her back, to make sure she got just the right framing. (Speaking of that bag on her back - she literally brought snacks in her camera bag for us during our first look shoot so we wouldn't get hangry. She is nothing if not prepared). Anyway, we got over 200 sneak peeks on the first day of the honeymoon and it was just wonderful to sit in our private jacuzzi tub on our honeymoon and look at beautiful photos and reminisce. We got our full gallery 2 months after the wedding and simply could not be happier with how they turned out. In conclusion: if you are lucky, and Maya has availability on your wedding day, booking her will be the best wedding decision you make.

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.

My fiance and I had a great experience working with Caroline for our engagement photo mini session! I was amazed at how many moments she was able to capture in a short 20 minute session. The edited photos are beautiful- the romantic style is just perfect. We almost didn't do engagement photos, but I'm so glad that we had Caroline capture this exciting time.

Ever since I have had photography in my life I have always wanted to capture all types of love people share with each other, no matter who they are, who they love, or where they’re from. To be able to share stories through photos has always been a passion of mine and I hope to continue on this path indefinitely.

Desirae was SO awesome to work with!! She was one of the few parts of our wedding day that I had absolutely no worries about; I knew after meeting her for our engagement session that she would take beautiful pictures and would be a calm and cool presence throughout the day. Desirae brought her second shooter, Andrew, with her who ended up doing videography for us, which we were psyched about, and both of them were so helpful throughout our day. They also stayed later than we originally planned for so that they could capture a "private" husband and wife dance to end the reception. She sent us a set of 8 "sneak peek" photos which were all to die for and our photos arrived quickly, even with the holidays. We are in LOVE with all of them!! I would definitely recommend Desirae for all wedding photography needs!!

Hannah was the sweetest and easiest person to work with on photos. We have a big blended family and I was worried how we would make it work without it being awkward and she showed up and showed out with all kinds of ideas. We had about a 2 week turn around that she told us about prior and once we got the photos back we were so excited! Her eye to detail and perfection made the perfect memories for us to have for a lifetime!

I’m Cecilia, a photographer, entrepreneur, and creator. For me, photography is more than just my job, it’s a central part of who I am. Since I was a kid I’ve felt the need to document life as I see it, to capture beautiful moments that last. I am so in love with this art form in every sense. It brings me such joy and fulfillment to be able to document people’s stories and bring them to life through my lens. At the end of the day, I do this job out of love. Love for people, the earth, and connection. I want to capture who you are as people. Your energy and vibrancy are at the heart of what I do and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

I found Cecilia through Instagram and I’m so glad I did. She did our elopement photos and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! She made us feel so comfortable during our shoot, directed us the entire time, and made it so much fun! I would book in a heartbeat again.

My clients understand the importance of those quiet, intimate moments but also know how to have a great time and bring the best out of each other!

Photography is something I am passionate about because of the trials I have faced in my life. I am a self-made photographer + I love what I do with my whole heart and soul. When I was a senior in high school I lost two of my best friends. Now, any photo I have with those sweet friends are so sentimental to me. The bible verse James 4:14 says, “For you do not know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a Mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” So live your life with purpose, laughter, follow your passions, and strive to love like Jesus each day, because your life is simply a mist in this world.

Rachael is so great to work with! She is personable, fun, and laidback. She kept the session fun and captured amazing shots. Her work is incredible! I highly recommend her!

Trung Hoang Photography

5.0

South San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Dana Point, CA for additional fees

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.

Trung was an amazing photographer to work with, and the easiest of our vendors to work with. He and his wife, who typically shoots with Trung, came to the venue to tour it with us and get a feel for the area. His communication and organization are top notch. Most importantly for my wife who is camera-shy, Trung is great at making people feel comfortable around a camera, and directing poses and looks that he thought would be nice. As a hobbyist photographer, some things I really appreciated about him are he is someone who is completely ok with you taking the digital files he gives you and editing them yourself, which some photographers do not allow. He also takes amazing landscape photos, and brings those skills and artistic sensibilities into his editing and wedding photography. We later (about a year later) asked Trung to put together a wedding album for us which he gladly did, going through 4 iterations with us. I also asked for one of the photos to be edited slightly different to fit the rest of the page which Trung was happy to do for us. Other things about Trung: 1) Punctual 2) Flexible (our wedding ended up running behind and suffered a blackout at the venue, both of which he took in stride) 3) Captures great photos, posed and candid! My wife and I would hire Trung again in a heartbeat! We still keep in touch with him more than a year post wedding if that helps to show you how great of a guy he is.

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!
