  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dawson, IL for additional fees

My name is Ali Cushing, WA-raised, NY-based, working anywhere, visually telling stories and capturing the authentic experience with intention. It's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my photos, composition serves to frame the feeling, which I strive to contribute to bringing you joy. To make the photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Diana Marie Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

MA & CA Your wedding isn’t just a sequence of events—it’s a mix of energy, quiet pauses, and the moments in between that hold the most meaning. You want a photographer who sees the unscripted, the unfiltered, and the unexpected—the things that make your day yours. I work with couples who value nostalgia, emotion, and a little edge in their wedding story. The ones who want their photos to feel like them—unposed, unforced, and unrepeatable. Whether it’s the weight of a glance, the rush of the dance floor, or the way your hands find each other in the middle of it all, every image is a keepsake of your story—without trends, AI edits, or formulas

She has the most unique and beautiful style that stands out from anything we’ve seen. Every photo feels like a piece of art, and she captured the joy, emotion, and magic of our day so perfectly. Looking through our gallery feels like stepping right back into those moments. It was also such a joy collaborating with her brother Anthony for our wedding video as well. Together, they make an amazing team.

I found Alexa on the Knot and booked her for Monarch’s full wedding planning package as my husband & I were planning a wedding outside of Chicago in an unconventional venue, 9 months away, and lived in another state. It was a big challenge but from the initial consultation, we loved Alexa’s energy, organization, commitment and just knew we could trust her with our once in a lifetime event. The planning process was extremely organized, thorough and well-paced. She matched my attention to detail, tackled unplanned challenges with ferocity (which included a limited selection of vendors given the location of our venue) and was as dedicated to bringing my very specific vision to life as I was. She brought great vendor recommendations and connections and did countless hours of research on new vendors. Details were well-documented and thoroughly discussed to ensure all parties were aligned. Even though our venue was farther outside Chicago (Indiana), she ran several venue walkthroughs in-person, attended vendor visits with me, and always accommodated my husband and I’s busy schedule. As Alexa started to step away for her maternity leave (which started right before our wedding date), she did an amazing job ensuring her team was fully prepared to handle last minute preparations and day-of responsibilities. The day-of team of 3 were awesome with completely handling all details A-Z so I didn’t have to worry about anything, even despite some last minute changes due to weather! Due to the complexity of our venue, its location, short timeline, and being from out-of-state, we are SO GLAD we booked Monarch for their full planning package and had the privilege of working with Alexa! It was sincerely our pleasure to have her bring our special day to life, she was a joy to work with and get to know. If I were getting married again, I’d book her services again no question! Thank you Alexa!!

There are not enough words to describe the quality of his work - he is a true master at photography. He captured all the special moments at the right times, and was able to come up with great poses and angles to take the perfect shots. From start to end, Andre was amazing and a pleasure to work with. He knew exactly the vibe we were looking for and he delivered 1000%.

Hi! We are the Bryants. We capture love for the offbeat romantics. While we both love photography and videography, Bobbie-Anne is usually the lead photographer with Nicholas as lead videographer.

Bobbie-Anne Jordan Photography was an excellent choice for our wedding photography. They were extremely communicative and provided us with lots of details throughout the entire process. Their work was highly professional and they were quick to provide updates on our photos. Nick, our main photographer, went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable, accommodating our requests and providing great ideas for poses during our portrait session. He made sure to capture all the special moments of our day, even meeting us at multiple locations for our interviews. We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend Bobbie-Anne Jordan Photography to any couple planning their wedding.

Luna Lion Photo Co. were an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! From the moment we first spoke with Kayti, we knew we were in good hands. She has such a friendly, knowledgeable, and fun communication style that immediately put us at ease. On the day of, Kayti was a calming presence and so much fun to be around, while still remaining incredibly professional. The final photos were truly stunning - the edit style is amazing and the poses felt so natural. We were blown away by the quality of their work, from our engagement shoot to the welcome party and everything in between. It honestly felt like we could be friends if we lived closer! We are so grateful to Kayti and the Luna Lion team for capturing our special day so beautifully.

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

There are not enough words in the English language to describe how wonderful Sarah is as an individual and as a photographer! She made us feel SO special on our big day and made us feel so at ease throughout the whole process leading up to our event. Her work is FANTASTIC. Seriously, if you’re going to hire a photographer please consider Sarah. She does not treat you as a client, but as a friend. She only wants the best for her couples and ensures you are 100% comfortable and in the loop. Her communication is amazing and she will go above and beyond on your special day. She is passionate and loves what she does and you can really see that shine through her photos and vision. We love Sarah and will definitely keep her around for all other photo needs. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah. We knew our most important memories were in the best hands!
