Laura was my and my now-husband’s favorite vendor we worked with for our wedding BY FAR. She was personable, excited to be part of our big day, incredibly flexible and creative in coming up with ways to get the best shots for the way you want your wedding to work, and a PHENOMENALLY talented artist with such a great eye for where and how to set up shots. Her prices were so much more reasonable than our venue’s preferred vendor, and she even went out of her way to meet with them (a museum) and learn about their photography restrictions, then came up with the best ways to still get amazing photos taken. From the day we contacted her to the day we got our photos, Laura was so comfortable to talk to and work with and it was always a pleasure hearing from her. When we got our photos they exceeded expectations, we can’t stop looking at them! I can’t recommend her strongly enough for your wedding photography or any kind of professional photography - if you’re looking for a photographer, stop here, you’ve found the best!

We had such an easy time working with Enchanted Celebrations staff that I would jump at choosing them again! Blair and Summer were professional, thorough, empathetic and communicated very clearly all the different features of the videography plans so that we felt like we chose the right plan for our wedding day. As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer. Edwin’s style was spot-on with what we imagined and the videos came out beautiful and so much quicker than we expected them. We’re delighted with our experience!

My name is Evelína, and I was born in Slovakia. Growing up, I found joy in nature, books, history, and fairytales, which still inspire my "less is more" approach to photography. I cherish castle ruins, forests, wildflower fields, and the emotions tied to folklore and romance. Now living in Northeast Pennsylvania's beautiful Poconos Mountains, I’m a mom of two amazing kids who helped me realize my passion for photography is more than a hobby—it's my calling. This vocation allows me to express my creativity and connect with others, making it the only job I'll ever want.

I knew immediately that I needed Evelína to be my photographer. Her work is so beautiful and everything I saw was exactly what I wanted. Working with Evelína and her team was an absolute pleasure. She communicates openly and consistently, answered all our questions, and truly delivered magic on our day. Almost a year later (!!) and all our friends and family STILL talk about how amazing, kind, and talented Evelína is, and how beautiful our photos are. I 100% recommend her, not only for her photography, but for her and her team’s phenomenal personalities. Not only will you love your photos, you’ll feel like the people behind the camera really want to make it magical! Truly they felt like longtime friends and everything was natural, lots of laughs and fun all around!

My name is Kasie and my husband Dan and I photograph weddings together in an adventurous and candid way to capture all your memories. We love letting you focus on your special day and showing the story of your day through our photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
My only regret is not writing my review and a public THANK YOU to Kasie and her husband, Dan, sooner (I'm so sorry!!). My husband and I got married on 1/3/25 and I was a nervous wreck of a bride. I very much fell into all the pressure of other people's opinions of what I should/shouldn't do for my wedding and my wedding photos…but Kasie was an exceptional listener. Through conversations upon my first booking with Kasie, I told her exactly what I was expecting for my wedding day (we didn't want a first look or first touch) and she took note. Included were engagement photos and she made it feel so easy and fun, and her excitement fueled us and made us more comfortable. As we got closer to the big day, we had more conversations and I filled out a very detailed questionnaire of what we want, and who we want for specific photos. In the questionnaire, I mentioned how we would do a first touch (yep - you guessed it, I folded to the pressure) and went into details there. We had a phone call based on the questionnaire and she asked point blank, 'do you want to do a first touch or do you feel like you have to do a first touch?' I fumbled and said that I feel like I need to do one and her response was, "Perfect! Then we're not doing one!" THE RELIEF!!!!!! I felt like she was the strength that I lacked during the pressure of wedding planning - I couldn't be more grateful for her. WEDDING DAY??? She and Dan knocked it out of the park well before we even received a sneak peak of our photos. Their excitement, professionalism, and their way of wrangling our massive families for quick (and beautiful) photos…my mom wouldn’t stop raving about how amazing and pleasant they were all day. I felt sadness when they said their goodbyes. Kasie - a huge thank you to you. You are an amazing person and an amazing photographer who truly captures those candid, genuine, real moments so beautifully. Dan - thanks for being such a great hype man and working with Dylan (LOL). Dylan and I talk about how happy we were with you two and we had so much fun. We hope to stay in touch! Quick Snapshot of Services: - Sneak peek photos arrive in 24hrs (they're gorge) - Full Engagement/Wedding photos arrive about 4 weeks after event - Kasie limits her bookings for this reason...so she can spend time editing without rushing which allows for quick turnaround.

Jose Almeida Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Effort, PA

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

Jose is fantastic! He has so much experience and very professional. Before our wedding day, he always had quick and clear communication. We loved his artistic eye and dramatic style of photography. He knows how to give good direction for those that aren’t used to posing or being photographed, and was always looking for the next shot. He definitely lets you be you and can still get amazing shots. We were surprised at how quickly we got to preview our gallery. After the wedding day, I realized that there was so much I didn’t get to document personally to remember the details from that day. But after seeing some of the shots, Jose had made me so happy to see how much he documented from the day! I highly recommend Jose :)

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

I cannot recommend working with Sophia enough. She was communicative, prompt and very efficient. She really worked with us what we wanted for the day in a short time frame and the photos just speak for themselves. We truly could not be happier that we chose to work with her!

Thank you for visiting & CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!!! We are based in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area but travel all over for weddings. Our furthest yet was Vermont! Our bright, colorful & crisp photography style provides our clients with timeless images that will be forever cherished. When I am not working, I enjoy drinking wine, trying new breweries, traveling to the New Jersey shore with my husband, our baby boy born in February 2024 & family, watching Harry Potter for the millionth time, & cuddling with our mini schnauzer.

I don't think a review alone can do this enough justice to describe how much we loved working with Andrea!! She is the nicest person ever, thoughtful, patient and an outstanding photographer. We used her for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos which were included together in the photography package we selected. Both times, Andrea absolutely nailed it!! So many great photos capturing the memories made in our day. Friends and family also told us that they are amazed by the quality of our photos. I would recommend Andrea to anyone looking for THE BEST wedding/event photographer!!

Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

From our very first email exchange to the moment we received our photos, every step of working with Rich was an incredible experience. He always responded quickly, answered every question with patience, and offered thoughtful suggestions I hadn’t even considered. His preparation before the wedding gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly, and it truly did. Richard was exceptionally professional, respectful, kind, and understanding. On our wedding day, he brought a sense of calm amid the chaos. He blended seamlessly into the flow of events—always present when needed, but never intrusive—and coordinated effortlessly with our families, bridal party, and other vendors. He was also incredibly organized with the shots we needed, keeping us on track without ever making us feel rushed. Richard delivered our full gallery exactly one month after our wedding and just before Thanksgiving so we could share the photos with our families over the holiday. It meant so much to us and we were thrilled to receive our pictures so quickly. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving the entire day, moment by moment. He captured the vibe and essence of our wedding perfectly. I especially appreciated his ideas and direction, and his artistic eye genuinely blew us away. He noticed angles, lighting, and emotional moments, capturing everything from the big highlights to the smallest in-between moments. The pictures he took of us, our families, and our venue were stunning—so much so that multiple friends texted us saying the photos looked like they belonged in Vogue. That is entirely to Richard’s credit. Choosing Richard as our wedding photographer was, without question, one of the best decisions I made in the entire wedding process. I am endlessly grateful to have these photos to cherish forever. Choose Rich as your wedding photographer - you will not regret it!!!!
