Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous.

Josh was amazing to be photographed by. From the beginning, he made the process very easy and streamlined. He was always pleasant and made us feel very comfortable during the shoot. He was so good with our 6 month old, and got excellent shots of him. We’re very happy with the end result and would highly recommend him for family photography.

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Awarded Best of Zola
The title says it all– not only was Marilyn incredibly communicative, enthusiastic, and kind from the get-go, but she also made the photo aspect of the wedding planning process an absolute delight and lots of fun! My partner and I felt really heard, and also got the vibe that Marilyn was genuinely excited to be part of our day. NOT to mention, her work absolutely speaks for itself– we were blown away by every last photograph! Beyond beyond beyond grateful for Marilyn and her making our special day even more fab!!

  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves El Monte, CA for additional fees

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was recommended to me by two of my friends who also used him for their weddings. He was by far the easiest, most cheerful, professional, and knowledgeable vender we worked with at our wedding. Justin was so easy to get ahold of at anytime about any question. Included in his fee is a site visit to scope out pictures/angles which I found incredibly helpful. I felt really comfortable asking him questions and troubleshooting possible weather issues/locations etc. Justin went with us to multiple locations on the same day at no extra charge which I thought was very generous. His prices are fair and he is very generous with what you get. Also, his attitude/vibe is so upbeat and positive he was a pleasure to work with. And of course, the photos he took were absolutely incredible! He was able to capture very intimate moments without being intrusive and I feel like he documented our wedding day so accurately, beautifully, and perfectly. I don't know how he is able to be everywhere at once! The variety of joy and emotion he captured from our friends, family, and us was out of this world. I am so so happy with my photos and I cannot recommend Justin enough for your wedding. My family was also incredibly impressed with his attitude and skill and kept asking me where I found him, commenting that I hit the jackpot! 11/10.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re wondering whether to hire Ali to photograph your wedding or other occasion, we say HIRE HER without a doubt. We hired Ali for our small wedding ceremony and reception based on a few good reviews and some sample shots we really liked. Upon a quick initial Zoom meeting, she seemed friendly and relaxed and very much like she knew what she was doing. During our planning phase, she was responsive to any question we had for her, no matter how insignificant the matter. But where she really shined was on day-of: she was so versatile and flexible, so while we were busy orchestrating and celebrating, she dashed around capturing the beauty of the evening. She gave us minimal instruction but managed to capture the perfect snapshots throughout the evening. She even ventured off with us for a vision we had of photos with the skyline in the background at the end. We’ve only received the sneak peek photos so far, but they are so gorgeous and we love them so much. Truly cannot wait to see the rest!

Like most children in the late 90's and early 00's, I grew up with a camera in my hand. I went through polaroids, video cameras, disposable cameras, waterproof cameras, and film cameras; all the cameras! I was so fascinated by photography and the ability to preserve moments. I'm an ENFP, 7w6, and extroverted-introvert who is not only thrilled but humbled to be a witness and historian to the significant moments in your life we are able to share together!

We used Lindsey for our engagement and wedding photos and absolutely loved her! She was so communicative and flexible! One of the spots that we wanted to shoot at wouldn’t allow us to, so she was able to think on her feet and found us a couple of other locations that turned out great! The same thing happened for our first look - there was too much fog at the first location, so she was able to figure out an alternative on a really short timeline! Our pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL and I’d love to use her again for future photography needs!

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

Thomas was hands down the BEST vendor we had for our wedding. From our first call to our last, Thomas ensured transparency throughout the whole planning process, detailing his own process, as well as providing recommendations for our timeline. He is professional, detail-oriented, communicative, and most importantly, he delivered stunning photos in an insane timeframe (how he did it, we still don't know!). From someone who used to work in the wedding industry, once you see firsthand how he operates, you can most definitely tell it's not his first rodeo. Thomas was also kind enough to shoot our private ceremony (in lieu of a complementary engagement shoot), which was the day before the reception. He arrived at all locations early and had strategically scoped out perfect shooting locations before meeting us. Thomas provided some wonderful natural, candid, and detailed shots that came out beautifully. His overall approach to wedding photography is seamless and it made our wedding weekend that much less stressful. Thomas, thanks a million again, to you and Hayden!

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

We could not love our engagement and wedding pictures more! From our first meeting with McKenna she got our vibe and made us both feel comfortable. We don't love pictures of ourselves but McKenna's shots captured our personalities and love for each other and made us feel so good. The only trouble is narrowing down which shots we want to get printed to display in our house! You will not go wrong with 1828 Collective and McKenna!

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

I've never been so excited to review somebody in my entire life!!! We were so lucky to have Irina as our photographer. I cannot say enough how important it is that your photographer on your wedding day is just as wonderful as a person as she is a professional at what she does. A good photographer makes you feel comfortable and effortless behind the camera. Posing parents, siblings, wedding parties, flower girls, ring bearers, and the bride and groom coming together perfectly in a crazy short amount of time? You feel like it’s IMPOSSIBLE. It’s not! I’ve heard that weddings are always not on time. The truth is it’s more worth. The rings may be forgotten, the very important guest is being extremely late, and a lot of other reasons. Irina was super patient, she captured each and every photo I wanted without me even having to make sure that she did it. Her creativity, eye for perfection, and professionalism are unbelievable. The wedding day does by so fast, and it's important to have all the moments captured. My now husband and I could not have chosen a better photographer. Everyone at the wedding was talking about how great our photographer was. Irina introduced herself to every guest and family member at the wedding and made sure she got every guests’ picture which we are so grateful! We had so many out of state guests and wanted to remember every moment with them on our best day. If you are looking for pricing that makes sense, photographer who cares about the quality, your happiness on your wedding day, and feeling confident throughout that entire day and every time you look at pictures afterwards, then look no further!

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!

When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and crime documentaries.

I knew that I wanted to hire Justina as soon as I saw her work— I loved her editorial style, her vibrant photos, and the fact that she offered a 2 photographer 1 videographer package (her brother Anthony is the videographer, and they make for a real dream team!!). We contacted her in January for a June wedding. We had about 3-4 calls before the wedding, where she made sure to fully understand my partner and I’s preferences and styles when it came to photography, posing, etc. We also did an engagement session with Justina (which was complementary at the time, and I HIGHLY recommend doing it before the wedding), and that allowed us to get familiar with her shooting style. I feel like we became friends very quickly. On the wedding day, Justina and her team arrived early and adapted quickly when we had a sudden change of plans due to weather. She also adapted quickly when the original 2nd shooter got sick right before our wedding, and found a replacement photographer right away. Our wedding party and I had so much fun shooting with her team: she was efficient while being thorough with the shots we wanted to get. Anthony, the videographer, also had creative ideas and suggested several unique “shots” to capture for the wedding video. Their team integrated so seamlessly into the wedding that I honestly barely noticed them running around and capturing moments. They were both professional and down-to earth; I felt like they even added to the joy and fun vibes our our intimate, 85-person wedding. I got the preview wedding album from Justina exactly a week after the wedding as promised, and Anthony sent the short video reel a month after (also as promised). We’re having so much fun going through the photos—they truly turned out better than I expected, and if there were any changes or tweaks that we wanted to either photo or video, both Justina and Anthony are super responsive and reasonably quick to change them for us! Justina and Anthony are an up-and-coming team, and I could not recommend them more! You should definitely book them before they’re booked out for the rest of the season :)

Hey babes, I'm Khali! I'm a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon capturing ALLLLL the love! I love candid, raw and authentic moments. My photography shouldn't feel posed or unnatural. It should be all about documenting you for who you really are; whatever your love language may be. I will always do everything I can to make sure your day is spectacular. Transparency is super important to me, so if you have any questions - just ask!

Khali has been an absolute dream come true! Honestly finding a wedding photographer can be such a challenge because there are so many options, especially in the PNW, but we couldn’t be happier that we choose Khali! Her style of photography sets her apart from all the rest and she truly captures every moment perfectly. During our engagement shoot, we felt so comfortable and had an absolute blast, it was in this moment that we knew we made the right choice (even before we got all our photos back). Speaking of our photos, they are incredible and something we will treasure forever. We appreciate how flexible and supportive Khali has been, due to covid we have had to postpone our wedding celebration a few times, we feel so lucky to have such an understanding and honoring vendor like Khali. Everyone do yourself a favor and hire Khali, she will not disappoint!

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

Picking Cassie as my wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I ever made around my big day! I was attracted by her folio and style after viewing so many photographers in Boston, and then made the decision to book her through our Zoom meeting. She is really good at telling stories and capturing moments. I was nervous at first which I assume a lot of us do on the wedding day, but Cassie made it really easy for me and my husband through creating an encouraging, light and easy vibe. We feel like we can laugh and dance and make fun however we want in front of her camera and that makes a great wedding photographer. Cassie is also a very talented and professional photographer that is really passionate at her creation and work. She delivered almost 10 different settings for our 2 hour session and each is unique and remarkable. I'd say go over her folio and make sure you like her style, and eventually you will fall in love with her work.

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.

I found Josie and Alex on Instagram while searching for a documentary style photographer for my Casa Feliz wedding. I was immediately impressed by their beautiful work, social media presence, and price transparency. Josie and Alex were communicative and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process in creating a photography timeline and anything else we needed help with. Along came the wedding day and it was raining all day long. My biggest fear was that I wouldn't have the photos I always dreamed of. But they turned out even more stunning than I ever expected! They were professional, sweet, and fun to work with on our big day. I cannot recommend Fox and Film enough!

I love weddings of all sizes, from adventurous elopements to grand celebrations. My photojournalism background influences my documentarian style, which captures the natural joy and energy of weddings without forced poses. I help my couples feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera just as they are.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tess is a dream to work with. She is communicative, timely, kind, and SO FUN to work with. Her work speaks for itself, but from a vendor-to-vendor perspective, she is truly fantastic. I always enjoy working with her leading up to the weddings, and on site she helps keep things moving in a fun, easy way. If I could leave 6 stars instead of 5, I would! Book TLC - you won't be disappointed in the process or the final product!

I'm Kara :) I'm an adventurer, risk-taker, traveler, and wedding+ elopement photographer! I know that you're looking for more than just beautiful wedding photos which is why my work with you doesn't start (or end) there. You deserve an expert- somebody who can give you the best advice & industry secrets. I know the ins & outs of weddings because I live them every weekend & know the very real stress that comes with planning a wedding. Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Kara as our wedding photographer was possibly the best decision we made for our wedding. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, both with our engagement photoshoot (navigating around some rainstorms!) and postponing our wedding date due to the pandemic. On our wedding date, Kara was the life of the party bringing excitement, joy, and a calm presence all at the same time. All of our friends and family have said how wonderful our photographers were and how they have never seen any vendor quite like her. To top it all off, our photos are absolutely incredible and a dream come true. She captured moments on our wedding day that I thought only existed in my memory. I highly recommend booking Kara as your wedding or engagement shoot photographer! I know that I will be booking her again for any of our future life events.

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.

I have had Kaitlyn as a photographer for 5 years now. She’s photographed everything for me.

Lauren is THE BOMB. She played our favourite songs on her phone while we started taking photos and that really helped us warm up and get comfortable. She made us laugh and smile and just enjoyed the fun and let our relationship be the centre of her universe for a few hours. The turnaround time was soooo quick (I'm not very patient when it comes to this stuff) and my jaw was literally ON THE FLOOR looking through the photos. I couldn't believe that was us. The edits were perfect with the colour and lighting and vibe and everything. I'm just sooo happy we have such perfect moments captured forever and ever. She also gave us like ALL THE PHOTOS to choose from (which is important to me. Variety and options!). I look back at the photos basically daily still #noshame.

My heart burns with a fierce and undeniable love for photography. It's a passion that runs deep, rooted in the belief that every image has the power to speak to the soul and evoke emotions that can't be put into words. My love for capturing moments behind the lens encompasses all aspects of life. It's these moments of raw and genuine connection that ignite my soul and drive my creativity. Because to me, a photograph is not just about being aesthetically pleasing or technically perfect. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotions that can't be replicated, and the stories waiting to be told.

I don’t even know where to begin. Dominique, I wanted to express my gratitude for everything you did to ensure that Jason and I’d wedding day ran smoothly. I am truly grateful that we chose you to be our wedding photographer. You were not only fun to have by our side but also made stressful moments less stressful. You were assertive when you needed to round up our family for photos, but you did so in a way that wasn’t rude. You went above and beyond, and my loved ones couldn’t stop raving about how detailed you were. I appreciate you beyond words - you are not only an amazing photographer but also a beautiful soul.

And thanks to the combined talent of Forrest's post-editing, everyone who sees our photos is blown away like we were. In one picture, he somehow turned a day shot into a night shot with crazy editing magic.

This review is so overdue it makes me sick, but the reason I've put it off for so long is because I've struggled to come up with the words to fully capture how I feel about Mel and what she contributed to making our special day E V E R Y T H I N G I could have ever asked for. If you don't want to read my whole novel, here's all you need to know: Mel is incredible. As a human being, a woman, a friend, a professional, a photographer - all of it. She will take care of you. I would've paid 10x as much as we did for the memories Mel gave us -- both actual memories WITH Mel and the memories she captured in her photos. From the very beginning I knew I wanted Mel in my corner. I find it SO admirable and refreshing that she takes seriously whether she meshes with her prospective clients or not. She KNOWS that the photos are going to pop off that much more if the vibes between client & photographer are *chef's kiss* -- she's not just chasing anyone down for the money or the exposure. To me, this made Mel really stand out. Vibing with Mel also meant I felt comfortable (because she allowed me the space to) text her with questions/concerns or for advice during the planning and she ALWAYS made me feel better about whatever I was worrying about. Mel is a friend, a sidekick, a bada**, ready-for-anything, go-with-the-flow-but-also-command-the-flow hype woman professional. I'm not kidding when I say that a large portion of my core memories from wedding day are with Mel. And I don't mean because she was following me around with a camera all day, I mean because of the actual hilarious, heartwarming, lifesaving interactions with Mel that stick out to me more than conversations I had with our own wedding guests. Imagine spending all day with someone who isn't making you laugh, providing you relief from the stress, tending to you and just making you feel like an absolute prize all day!!?! Couldn't be me. Wouldn't be Mel. She's d*mn good company. We had a large wedding party which can be annoying for any vendor but especially a photographer. Mel never made us feel bad about that. She stated the facts, made clear what she needed and then made. it. happen. The groomsmen in our party were not great listeners and Mel dominated in getting everyone's attention back. My bridesmaids were basically crushing over how much of a boss she is. And because of how much of a boss she is, she kept ALL things on track, even things she wasn't originally responsible for. She is THE ultimate wedding expert and has an answer for everything. Not every photographer could do what she does, so thank god for Mel knowing her strengths and positioning herself to share the power of those strengths with all of us. Nothing could've prepared me for the emotions I would feel looking through the gallery Mel delivered. Utter shock and awe -- our photos were uniquely ours but still dazzled with that same Mel magic I fell in love with when I found her on IG. After our wedding, I looked back on our day and felt sad thinking about moments I missed or wish I could redo. Her photos completely took all of that away. It was all accounted for. You can trust her to have listened to your needs/wants, to have taken any unique or awkward circumstances into consideration and to have captured moments you'd probably be sad about missing (even the really small, less obviously-important ones). Book her. Book her for the max duration that you can. She's the best in the biz and nothing could convince me otherwise.

Everyone needs a Wayne! This is what we have told everyone over and over again when showing our beautiful wedding and engagement photos. We sincerely cannot wait for the next time we have an excuse to work with Wayne. From the very start of working with him, he had such a thoughtfulness that no else else had. Throughout the whole process he had sentimental touches like congratulatory gifts, personalized business cards for us to distribute with our photo on it, souvenirs from our wedding day, etc. Friends and family loved how he was present but never in the way or distracting, and we agree. The best advice we received was to find a photographer who you like being around because you spend the majority of your wedding day with them, and man they were right. Wayne's energy is exactly what you want - attentive, sharp and aware of his surroundings but cool and relaxed on a day that has it's stressful moments. Wayne does his research and comes fully prepared for ideal and creative shots.

I'm a wedding and community photographer based in Tucson, Arizona, specializing in natural, story-driven documentation with an eye toward the beauty and wonder of any situation. I strongly believe in authentic documentation of a wedding day, as a collection of memories for the two people joining their lives, but also as a celebration of a new community that they now share, born out of their love and containing endless possibility.

We absolutely ADORED working with Julius. He was fun and silly, just enough to make you open up and give a real laugh, which he would then capture in stunning detail. We were so fortunate to work with Julius both before our wedding for an engagement shoot and during our wedding as our sole photographer. He is a consummate professional and delights in dramatic images that make you feel as though you’re in a fairytale. I wish I had another major life event coming up just to take more photos. Thank you for everything Julius!!!

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

I’ve worked alongside Anj and let me tell you she is so detailed in her work, posing instructions, capturing the details and just making your wedding day special. You can be relaxed and enjoy your day knowing Anj has got it under control. Highly recommended!

Words cannot express my appreciation for Alisa Sue photography. I wanted the best of the best for photography for my wedding and I came across Alisa Sue and stalked her Instagram for quite some time before finally booking - they were absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with, so easy to get along with, so pleasant, so fun and the photos - ugh - to die for. Timeless and beautiful. My now husband and I are so awkward in photos and Alisa Sue made us feel so natural and comfortable. I truly hate pictures and getting my picture taken and she was by my side every step of the way cheering me on. There is no one else you should book with, besides Alisa Sue! She is now my go-to photographer for everything in life - I can’t thank her enough for making our special day that much more special!

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

We love working with Anya! She is amazing and fun and so creative!

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves El Monte, CA for additional fees

Soon after Juan and Emily got married in 2018 Juan began his photography career as a light technician in LA. Juan studied journalism for his undergrad, and this is when he was gifted his first camera and his interest in photography was sparked. Emily's childhood dream was to be a photographer, and after working for years as an ICU nurse she is able to do just that alongside Juan. We are energized by the creativity that photography brings, and the light and joy we experience from meeting couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Juan Rodriguez Photography! Juan shot film photos alongside a digital photographer at our wedding. Juan's photos are absolutely beautiful - organic, artistic and distinct. They are some of my favorite photos from the day. The best thing about Juan though is his attitude. His positivity, calmness and proactiveness made a real difference without how I felt on my wedding day. Though our digital photographer had never met him before our wedding, she commented how much she enjoyed working with him. Many of our bridal party made similar comments. He was always looking for ways to help, whether holding bouquets or giving my veil movement outside the frame. Besides being a wonderful photographer, Juan is just the type of person you want with you on your wedding day. I can't recommend him enough.

Natalie is an amazing photographer and an awesome person! She took the most beautiful pictures of us for our wedding that we can have forever. We eloped in a simple ceremony with just us two. The pictures we have are amazing and we are so thankful that we have them to share with our friends and family who we didn’t invite (haha). Natalie was a joy to work with; a true professional. She gave us so much guidance leading up to our ceremony. She is a great resource as we came from NY and did not know much about New Orleans. We cannot thank her enough! She is calming and makes taking pictures fun!

Marla Manes Photography

Seattle, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves El Monte, CA for additional fees

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

She is precious and perfect and excellent at what she does. My wife and I happened upon Marla’s work when she first moved to Seattle in our hunt for queer friendly photographers. From the first moment we spoke we knew we’d be in good hands. Working with Marla felt like hanging out with a friend. We love her and you will love her too. We didn’t absorb that she specialized in elopement photography when we found her, but clearly she’s versatile because our photos are gorgeous! As people who aren’t used to being photographed professionally, Marla gave great direction when we needed it and caught a million beautiful candid moments. She forgot her coat in her fiancés car and did not complain or act chilly even though her nose and cheeks were turning red (don’t worry, we shared our jackets with her haha). Our guests also raved about her!!! She’s lovely and talented; she will make you feel comfortable and encouraged and beautiful.

Carey MacArthur Photography

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves El Monte, CA for additional fees

My images are a blend of formal photographic training and a passion for telling stories with pictures. I specialize in capturing natural, candid moments. I approach wedding photography as a documentarian with a deep love of family and a great respect for ritual.

I count my lucky stars that my husband and I were fortunate enough to work with Carey, and her amazing second shooter, Sandy, for our wedding photos. Carey’s photos are simply works of art. She has the ability to create exquisite, photojournalistic images that are so full of emotion, the feeling of the moment simply leaps off the page. I searched long and hard for the “right” photographer for our wedding day and just cannot say enough how truly grateful we were to work with Carey. As if her photography talents were not enough, she (and Sandy!) are simply the warmest humans who are so genuinely happy to be part of the special moments they are photographing, and were rooting so deeply for our happiness we (and frankly our whole extended families) considered Carey and Sandy part of the family by the end of our wedding night. They integrated with our crew seamlessly and were in no way intrusive. Carey was also so patient with us during the planning phases, made time late in the evening to speak with us when she knew our work schedules were hectic and invited us down to her Brooklyn studio for a pre-wedding photo shoot to help with the pre-wedding jitters. Not to be understated is just how calming a presence Carey was to us on our wedding day. She can take two stressed humans and work her magic so they are having nothing but the best time ever (and feel like subjects of a Time magazine/Vogue cover story). Easily the best money we spent in the entire wedding process – we had so much fun together and we are obsessed with our wedding photos. Carey and Sandy are incredible talents – run, don’t walk to book if you are in need of any photography for life’s most special moments. We hope to have an excuse to work with them again soon.
