The first part of wedding planning for us was finding the photographer because it was the most important to me (other than the man I was marrying). I was prepared to search high and low to find the perfect photographer, but Jessica found us! After attending a wedding expo she reached out and offered her services. We met for coffee and discussed our hopes and dreams for our upcoming wedding. There was an instant connection! I told Jessica wedding photos were at the top of my priority list, because they’re what lasts forever. I can look back on those photos and remember the excitement, happiness, and pure joy of marrying the man of my dreams. I told her I was looking for someone to capture the little moments along with the big. Jessica promised us everything we asked for and, man oh man, she delivered!!! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Every part of the process was made simple because of her organization and talent. Every communication we had was prompt, thoughtful, and respectful. She listened to our wishes, offered her expertise, and created unbelievable results!! Jessica and her assistant (Crystal) were fun to be around and made our sessions with them fly by. They made sure every detail was picture-perfect… even during our freezing cold outdoor engagement session. If anyone asks me for a photographer, Jessica is the name I give, every single time. She signed on to do our wedding, but we are now her clients for life because no one will compare to the incredible job she does. Let me squash any doubts you have and help you with the best decision you’ll make when it comes to finding a photographer… just hire Jessica Yahn!! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with her!!

Bree Nacsa 13 reviews 2 hours ago NEW We could have not asked for a better photographer for our wedding and are forever grateful for the fantastic job Andrew did for our rehearsal and wedding day. Some highlights: - Strong communication in the months leading up to the wedding, always promptly replying to emails - His gallery speaks for itself but he clearly has a good artistic vision and excellent editing skills with many years of experience - Did some FILM photography as well!!! My favorite photos of the day were captured on film and had such a gorgeous vintage vibe that digital would never be able to capture. - Captured everything we could have possibly wanted, was good at posing us for posed photos but also got so many special candid moments Most importantly, Andrew has such a relaxed, positive, and calming vibe that was so important to us on our big day. I have been in weddings where the photographer is way too intense and barking orders at everyone, rushing people, and stressing out the bride and groom - I am so glad that was not the case with him. I could not recommend his services enough - it is well worth every penny.

Wes Shinn Photography & Film

5.0

Moyock, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800

Combining emotion and romance, with a hint of mystery and wonder. These photos will tell your story in a one-of-a-kind way. Documenting your love differently from any other. And allowing you to re-live it with your love ones in the most special way. As a wedding photographer I think it’s really important to build a relationship with all of my couples. Honestly, I will admit that as your photographer I usually spend more time with you two individually than you actually will together on your wedding day. Which is why I have a lot to explain for how I move forward in capturing high caliber wedding photos with all of my couples.

Wes was great to work with. His work and photos speaks for themselves as to how beautiful his work is. He loves to captures kodak moments along with very artistic photos. He checks in every now and then before your big day. You also have one last talk before the big day to go over a few things and to talk about what you want. Highly recommend and you will not be disappointed!

Ellen LeRoy Photography

Emerald Isle, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

When I started wedding photography 15 years ago, I wanted to create stunning pictures that showed off my technical skills. Those skills are helpful, but they are no longer the focus of my attention. You are. Now, my goal is to make sure you have the best wedding possible, and that you remember as many moments and details as possible. You may think you'll remember it all, but life moves on and you'll forget more than you expect. I'm here to remind you what your wedding day was like, how much you love your family and friends, and why you got married. I'm excited to help you have a wonderful wedding full of beautifully captured moments.

Ellen photographed my wedding and two separate engagement sessions. This stated, there is nothing more I can say than if I ever have a need for a photographer again, I'd hire her every single time! Her ability to get the perfect shot in every situation is simply amazing. Further, whether she had to take her shoes off and stand knee-deep in water, or provide firm (yet friendly) directions to friends and family after the ceremony (to get all our pictures done in time), she was as competent, kind, and professional as any photographer I've ever seen. I understand how hard it is to trust one person with capturing the most important moments of your life, but Ellen did not disappoint!

I am an artist before a anything else, I rapidly fall in-love with captures that feel fun, still reflecting elegance. My images are ethereal, but classic... containing all the feelings of radiant distinct personality which reveals your sense of style. Steering clear from any trendy aesthetic genre of wedding photography to offer my couples all that is seen in my work is what I aim for. Documenting your day is something I take very seriously. My approach is simple and professionally fun! I am a stickler for a good plan the day of, this will make for all successful outcomes. I will scout the best locations, before your first looks.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Miami, FL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $849
  • Serves Duck, NC

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

My Husband and I got married April 14th, 2024 and didn't think we'd "need" a Videographer. This was the very last thing we added to our wedding planning.. yes, even after small things like arranging the seating chart, whether we wanted favors, etc. This by far was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. We found Ledd Lens on Zola and inquired about their services about 2 months before the wedding. Usually, couples book videographers at least a year in advance. They asked what our budget was, what we were looking for and came back with 3 options to choose from. The prices were VERY AFFORDABLE and included their TRAVEL to Philadelphia. Having every moment on video to rewatch with our family or just alone is the best feeling after all the planning we did over 13 months. Randall was amazing! He had us choose 3 songs to use in our highlight video, but ended up using 1. The other 2, he chose, and they fit even better than the ones we thought would! He also threw in a few bonus footage as well. Absolutely amazing and professional company to work with. We are so happy!! Thank you Ledd Lens!

I am so glad you're here! I LOVE my family and I am OBSESSED with anything Kate Spade and if I could live in yoga pants, I would. My favorite thing to do other than photography is cook. I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

I cannot express how precious and special the photos Sarah captured for me and my fiancé are. Sarah has an eye for capturing moments we would have never thought to memorialize (e.g. walking down the street, the little moments of laughter between eating). Her photojournalistic style tells our story from beginning to end. Our favorite photos are the ones that involve movement, whether it's my fiancé lifting me up or me swishing my dress in the middle of the street. There are no uncomfortable forced poses, only candid secret moments. We cannot recommend working with Sarah enough. She is SO kind, patient, personable, and talented. She is willing to listen to all of your ideas and provide valuable input. She has worked in a variety of settings and it shows in her artwork!

Tiffany has been my go-to photographer for more than five years now, and for very very good reason! Her work contains an artistic touch that I have never seen recreated anywhere else and her ability to make something incredible out of seemingly nothing in the environment of the shoot is unparalleled. In addition to high level results in artistic, family, couples, and wedding photography, Tiffany has done multiple series of head shots for me to use in my own professional setting - every time I update my LinkedIn or post those pictures to any social media the response is overwhelmingly positive! She brings so much to the table that I wait however long it takes for her to be available before getting any more photography done for me. I cannot recommend her enough, especially since her capacity to deliver clear, easy, and understandable instructions makes sessions a breeze and the kids always have so much fun working with her.

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

Congratulations!! What an exciting time in your life! I am truly honored that you have taken then time to consider me as your wedding photographer. Here's some fun facts about me... I am obsessed with sunsets, pickles are my favorite food, and espresso and tequila are my favorite drinks! I'm a mom of 3 teenagers, I have photographed a living president, and I've always lived close to water, but the mountains are my favorite place! Frank Sinatra is my favorite singer, I've acted in a movie, and I've watched every Marvel movie in chronological order. My biggest bucket list item is to travel the world and photograph in other countries!

Terah was absolutely amazing! She truly exceeded our expectations. She came fully prepared with a shot list and easily worked around some hiccups we had along the way. Our teaser photos turned out amazing and we can’t wait to see the rest. I cannot recommend her enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
Y'all... I don't even know what to say about how much I love Laura and her husband, Drew. Not only did they capture our wedding day brilliantly, their presence actually made the day even better! Laura is exceptionally great to work with. Her paperwork is easy and prompt, she responds to emails quickly, and will even set up a virtual call to discuss whatever you would like. Her prices are fair for the amount of photos you receive and the quality of her work and service. Laura did our engagement photos and wedding photos. Scheduling our engagement session was easy and stress free (as was the wedding, but you probably already guessed that!). We met her in Miami since she was down there anyway. Laura was down for an adventure so we went to a botanical garden where we got eaten by mosquitos but Laura was positive and having fun the whole time. The photos are GORGEOUS and we used them for all of our wedding materials and website. We have gotten so many compliments on all of our photos! Laura and Drew arrived a day in advance of our wedding and let us know when they arrived so we had peace of mind. They were on time to our wedding (if not early) and stayed until they were contracted to leave, not a minute early. They were having so much fun at our wedding and captured so many amazing moments. As a note, they are super fun but also take their work very seriously and were busting their butts the whole day to make sure they caught every precious moment. Laura and Drew made us feel so comfortable. They are hilarious and go-with-the-flow but also make sure they stick to the timeline and are diligent about getting every picture you want. They arranged all of our bridal party and family photos, making sure they all looked good. Laura and Drew are also very sensitive to family matters. We have some complicated family dynamics and they handled them like champions, making sure our day was stress free. It is clear that Laura and Drew are committed to making sure the couple has a wonderful stress-free day. Laura carried around my extra makeup all day so I could blot my face and I'm pretty sure Drew served us drinks at one point because we were thirsty taking pictures. All of our friends are obsessed with Laura and Drew - we still talk about how much we love them several months later - because they are actually that wonderful. Laura and Drew are EXTREMELY inclusive. We are a same-sex couple and were so comfortable with them. All of their paperwork is gender neutral, which is not something I can say for our other vendors (no shade, it's just the truth) and it was sincerely appreciated. Some of our friends use they-them pronouns and Laura was sure to get this information in advance so she could make sure to call everyone what they prefer. We received a surprisingly large sneak peak of photos the day after our wedding. All of our friends and family were shocked at how quickly we got all those photos, but it's because Laura is an editing machine. We got all our other photos back well within the timeframe provided. There are literally hundreds of photos and every single one is perfection. Laura even did a little bit of photoshopping that I requested, which I really appreciated. Long story short, look no further for the wedding (or other event!) photographer of your dreams. Laura and Drew are truly one of a kind (well, two of a kind) and they will make your wedding day exceptional! I wish I could get married again so I can hang out with them more.

My love for photography started at a young age in my small hometown outside of Pittsburgh. After being in public accounting for over four years, I eventually left to explore the creative fulfillment that photography has always given me. I knew immediately that being able to capture the love and joy between a couple for them to cherish for years to come, brought me the fulfillment I was searching for. As a photographer, I love natural light, authentic moments and adventurous souls. When not behind the camera, I’m forever a Harry Potter superfan and pasta addict. I’m always looking for new people and places to inspire me.

Alessandra photographed my sister in laws wedding and we knew we needed her contact information! We couldn’t be happier with working with Alessandra.

Hi I'm Shannon, I was raised in the city of Los Angeles, but now reside in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I describe my photography approach as a "directed documentary". I love to blend more traditional money shots (the big kiss, walking down the aisle, first dances) with a photojournalistic angle that feels like natural snapshots rather than posed photos. My firm belief is that great photos can only reflect what naturally unfolds on your big day. I focus on candids, guest reactions, and photographing anything that helps tell a complete, and unique story. My goal is that anyone who looks at your gallery feels what it was like to be there.

Starting my passion of photography at the young age of ten, I fell in love with the documentary/journalistic style. When I got older, I was moved to make it into a career. I also fell in love with love itself. I saw the beauty in the gift humans feel of cherishing one another. For six years now, I have had the privilege of photographing weddings and elopements of people who feel deeply and love deeply.

Carsten was a DREAM to have photograph my wedding. From the start, he was very responsive, put together a timeline for our wedding and gave us lots of great advice on how to set things up for the day. We had some last minute changes due to weather and had to push our ceremony several hours and change location, he was completely accommodating. On the day of the wedding - WOW! Carsten went above and beyond. He felt like a part of the family. As the bride, I felt so supported by him and his wife Leigh. On top of directing the whole family into poses, helping me and my husband feel natural and at ease on camera, they helped my mom and my sister with all of our belongings. Every single person at the wedding was thoroughly impressed by them. They were very professional, very dedicated to their craft. They felt like family members, but also didn't over impose themselves or anything at all. They were complete professionals who could anticipate our needs. Carsten also sent us a sneak peek at our photos and they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! The space we were in was a little dark, but using their lighting, they made the images stand out and feel so genuine to the day.

Alysa was very open to work with us on our unique wedding plans. They captured the beginning of our day and wedding perfectly. We did not have them come take pictures afterwards, since we did not have the traditional reception. The pictures they captured though, were sometimes candid, and those ended up being some of my favorites.

We LOVED our experience with AlohaZoe Photography!!! Corrine and Ryan were so helpful in the months leading up to our elopement. They provided an in-depth guide with recommendations for lodging, restaurants, hair/makeup, activities, etc. The guide structured the wedding/honeymoon planning process into multiple stages, so we felt relaxed handling one logistical task at a time. Since this photography duo lives in Hawaii, they know all the good spots! Additionally, they were very responsive and flexible with us since our initial consult. They personalized our big day and were receptive to our feedback. It was so nice being around Ryan and Corrine on our wedding day! They are kind, funny, respectful, and hard-working. They have a warm presence and are even keeled while handling last-minute changes. They provided the right amount of instruction for pictures, while giving us enough space to experience the moment on our own. Ryan and Corrine’s commitment to their craft is second to none. The pictures exceeded our already high expectations. They are artistic, epic, timeless, awe-inspiring, but most importantly— they effectively capture the love my wife and I share together. Candid shots of us running and laughing bring me back to my wedding day. I am glad we chose such talented artists to help us capture these important memories. We are SO GRATEFUL to have had Corrine and Ryan as our photographers, and we give them our strongest possible recommendation.

Anthony transformed the location with camera angles, choosing the area he shot in and cropping out the thing you just don't want to see. The quick preview pics he sent the next day (which were unexpected and so awesome to get) were great and we cannot wait to see what he does with editing. Anthony was great from start to where we are now. He responded to my Zola inquiry quickly and I felt I had the best rapport with him and he got our style and what we wanted out of the event.

While we can always get down with a classic editorial portrait, we steer clear of photos that feel posed or stagnant. Obviously, we make images that are aesthetically beautiful, and it's our priority to capture you in your best angles & lighting. But more importantly, we are seeking split-second, cinematic, and emotive moments that pull you in and make you think "this looks like a still from a movie!" Every single wedding contains moments like this, and it's our job to be alert enough to catch them. We are very, very in sync and unobtrusive. We find corners to nestle in to watch & eventually work our way into the heart of the action.

Josie and Alex did both our engagement shoot and our wedding! When I tell you that you will get the best wedding photos you’ve ever seen I’m not kidding. They have a true gift to be able to sense subtle yet profoundly special moments that you won’t even realized have been captured until you see the pictures. I received my wedding photos today and after spending 4 hours going through them I came straight to write this review. They are the nicest, sweetest people, their vision and eye to detail is unmatched. Book them!

Hi there! I’m Sharon! I am a long-time professional photographer, a former award-winning photojournalist, and an official photographer for the Canadian Embassy. I love photographing weddings and I provide beautiful, bold, and romantic images for my couples to treasure forever.

Working with Sharon was such a pleasure for both of our events, and she had our photos ready in a matter of days. The photos were such high quality, and you can tell she really loves and cares about what she does. She brought along two separate second shooters (one to each event), who were also extremely professional and talented. I cannot say enough great things about our experience!!

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Hello!! I am Camille! I am passionate about preserving every moment from your special day - particularly those intimate moments of togetherness amid the crazy! ❤️ I am an all-inclusive photographer and very easy going; more on the quiet side, but I can wrangle a crowd if I need to. 😉 If you like goofy comedies, folk and pop music, and loving people how Jesus does, we'll get along just perfectly! I prefer to capture everyone in sweet and candid looking moments rather than being traditionally posed but I do a bit of both! I would love to get to know you and your future spouse - just send me a message any time!

I specialize in capturing the unique and untraditional love stories of couples. With a passion for storytelling, I travel to various locations, blending my love for photography with a zest for exploration. I love to document weddings that break free from the norm. Balancing the artistry of photography with the authenticity of each couple's journey, my goal is to create art that beautifully encapsulates their love stories. If your wedding day vision is a whole vibe, and you want a photographer with a little bit of an edge who is down to get weird, let's get in touch!
