We had such a great experience working with Bee Photography and Bridget for our wedding day. She was easy to reach throughout the planning process and always gave clear, straightforward answers to our questions. When it came time for photos, Bridget's friendly approach made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her directions were simple to follow, and she captured every detail that mattered to us. The final photos are stunning and worth every penny—Bee Photography offers real quality at a fair price.

Hey, I'm Kelsey! Thanks for being here! When I'm not behind the lens, you'll probably find me at my favorite sushi restaurant or hanging out at home with my husband & cats drinking a Starbucks Matcha Latte. You'll notice as soon as you meet me that height is something I'm lacking, but I promise that won't stop me from killin' it at your session. I started taking photography when I was a freshman in high school. My high school offered film photography & I immediately fell in love.

We looked around quite a bit before we went with Kelsey, and we're SO happy we did. From our first meeting, I was impressed by her clear communication, her calm demeanor, and her attention to detail. She was amazing day-of in keeping things running and pivoting when we needed to. We love how are photos turned out!

Hey there, I'm Jordany Almonte, but you can call me "Jordan" – a friendly guy based in the state of New Jersey with a passion for life and a big heart for family. I take immense pride in being a devoted husband and a proud father; they are the driving force behind everything I do. To me, photography is more than just capturing images; it's a way of feeling, touching, and loving the world around me. What I capture in the film holds the essence of the moment, preserving memories that we can cherish forever. Those little things, often overlooked, can bring floods of emotions long after our other memories have faded.

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose The Hobbyist Studio for our wedding and couldn't have made a better decision. From our first conversation, the team communicated in a way that was easy to understand and made us feel heard, they truly cared about what we wanted. On the day of our wedding, they went with the flow when things didn't go exactly as planned, which kept us from stressing about timelines and made sure we got all the shots we needed. The owner was fantastic at keeping the energy up and making sure everyone looked great for the camera, plus they were super flexible when we wanted to add or change things last minute. Their photos are stunning and full of the little details. They captured so many of the little moments that made our day special. We'd absolutely recommend The Hobbyist Studio to anyone looking for photographers who are both talented and genuinely fun to work with.

We're not just here for the perfectly posed or the Pinterest worthy. We are here for the real stuff. The breath you take before walking down the aisle. The glance between a couple when no one else is watching.

We knew Moon and Mango Photo & Film Co. was the right choice after our first conversation with them. A few days before the wedding, we talked through the entire day to make sure we were all on the same page about what photos we wanted, and that communication made a huge difference. When the sneak peeks came back, we were blown away—even with the challenge of shooting on a farm with animals, they captured everything beautifully. Beyond just taking pictures, both photographers jumped in to help with details and offered advice whenever obstacles came up, making sure our day ran smoothly. They felt like family rather than just vendors walking around, and we could tell they bring that same warmth to every wedding they shoot. If you want photographers who genuinely care about making your day special, these are your people.

You deserve wedding photos and films that feel natural, joyful, and completely like you. The real laughs. The quiet hand squeezes. The moments you will want to relive for years. We're Hannah and Matt, a husband and wife photography and film team based in North Carolina and traveling nationwide.

We've been documenting weddings together since 2019, and Matt is also an FAA-licensed drone pilot.

From the first email to the final gallery, we keep things easy, clear, and genuinely fun so you can soak it all in.

We had a fantastic time working with Hannah and Matt for photography and videography at our wedding. They were very professional and were very good about keeping up with timelines and getting things moving. Having a large wedding party (25), we were worried about how we were going to make everyone fit well in the photos, but they did a great job capturing multiple angles of everyone. We just got our sneak peeks back and they are amazing. Before the wedding we were able to communicate with them what we wanted in terms of types of shots, day of timeline, and feel of the video. With how chaotic the day felt, working with Hannah and Matt on our couples shots made us feel more connected. Honestly, the best money we spent on our wedding.

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

From the moment we hired Bridget, we knew we were in great hands. She was not just a photographer, but a true partner throughout the entire wedding planning process. Her support was invaluable as she helped guide us through timelines and offered advice on how to make our day even more special. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, she truly went above and beyond. She was not only an incredible photographer but also the ultimate hype girl—cheering us on, keeping us calm, and making sure every moment was captured beautifully. Her attention to detail was incredible; no special moment was missed, and she seamlessly blended candid shots with stunning portraits. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away! Each image was more beautiful than we could have imagined—emotions, laughter, and love were all perfectly captured. The photos felt like a reflection of our story, and we’ll cherish them forever. Thank you, Bridget, for making our wedding day unforgettable and for giving us memories that will last a lifetime! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

Wow… I don’t even know where to start, but the stars literally aligned with Dani (and Jed) from Elle & Co Photography. I found Dani while scrolling bridal Facebook groups, which can be… a lot. Trying not to assume the worst from all the horror stories. I came across her and immediately knew she was it. I sent the message and crossed my fingers. Her photos were exactly the vibe we were going for. We chose to elope near Sleeping Bear Dunes for a reason… the color of the water, the fall tones, all of it. And Mother Nature gave us the most imperfectly perfect day. Wind, sand, rain… you name it. THANKFULLY we had Dani to capture it all. The amount of time, energy, and care she put into our day (and our reception back in Indy... we booked her for both) was beyond anything we expected. Her communication was top notch. She scouted, scouted, and then scouted again. Plans, backup plans, backup backup plans… which we absolutely needed. Most importantly she kept us on. time! We literally showed up to our ceremony spot and got hit with a “nope, not today” thanks to a government shutdown… even though we had permits and confirmations. But Dani already had her little hidden gem location ready to go, and it ended up being incredible. Like… better than what we had originally planned. And let’s talk about the conditions… late October on Lake Michigan, 25 mph winds, sand flying everywhere, and easily 10,000 steps trekking through dunes to chase the best views. Dani was everywhere at once making sure we got every shot. And Jed… running through sand like he trained for this moment. The two of them together are the dream team. Whatever it takes, they make it happen. They didn’t miss a single moment. From travel time to the ceremony, to the little in-between shots… even getting the perfect fall leaves shot with the Sleeping Bear Dunes sign (yes, it took a plenty of tries and yes, it was worth it). Champagne, lanterns, sparklers back at the domes… they captured all of it. And gave us just enough direction so we looked our best without ever feeling staged. And even after all of that, Dani went back and edited like crazy to balance out the fact that while we "looked fine"… we were most definitely freezing. The final photos are unreal. Our day was made by friends, family, and chosen family… and we’re so happy to add Dani and Jed to that circle. #PhotosToFriends for life!
