Eivan's made our wedding day wonderful! Alexander Schmidt was our photographer, and our videographer was Noah. We got our pictures back sooner than expected, and they suited the exact style we had hoped for. Communication was great, photos were easy to access, and we were allowed free download for so many pictures! One family portrait had one person not looking, otherwise people were smiling and looking in everything. Many people commented on their professionalism as well as their kindness at the wedding. Thanks, Eivan's!

From the moment we booked George Street Photo and Video, their communication was quick, easy, and accommodating. The quality of their work and value was truly exceptional - the photos they captured were absolutely beautiful, and their team was attentive to every detail. The photographer was non-stop throughout our wedding day, capturing amazing shots that I will cherish forever. At first I was hesitant to go with a larger company rather than an individual photographer, but they easily matched me with a photographer who fit my style perfectly. I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out - it was an affordable and seamless process, and I received all of my prints very quickly. George Street Photo and Video exceeded my expectations in every way and I highly recommend them to any couple planning their dream wedding.

Between 2023-2024 of wedding planning, I had found Albany Capture on Zola and decided to book their services after doing some research. Wedding planning didn’t go accordingly at first to the point where I had to change the venue and date. Luckily Albany Capture was still available in spite of all the changes and was flexible in working along with us. My new husband and I just got married on May 2, 2025 and we can’t thank Pedro of Albany Capture enough for capturing our special day! Pedro is not only talented, he is so kind and professional at the same time. Even my guests kept telling me what an awesome photographer/videographer he is!

Digital + Film Wedding Photography Hi! I'm Emma, owner and lead photographer of Emma Mullins Photography.

We are a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and happy to serve humans of every background, gender and identity.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are huge fans of Emma! Here are 5 reasons she should also be your wedding photographer: 1. Emma is incredibly nice and was so generous with wedding organizing wisdom. She helped us feel more confident about the thousands of small details in the entire process, from our first Zoom meeting with her to the engagement photo shoot to the final shots on our wedding day 2. She is incredibly thorough as a communicator. We never had any question about what she needed or what she was doing before, during, or after the ceremony. And she was even very communicative via email with our moms(!) 3. She is so organized but also so creative. She kept our wedding day smooth by planning out all the posed shots needed, and she got all photos back to us in an always impressive timeframe. But she was also always open for a surprising shot or a little experiment. It made her work feel even more personal 4. She was a rock star on our wedding day, if you couldn’t tell. And she was a super fun hang during our engagement photo session, which featured Emma, my wife, and I improvising playful shots during a sudden rain storm(!) 5. Most of all, when she’s taking photos of you, her excitement in that moment fires you up more and makes you feel so comfortable. She makes you feel like your pictures are the best wedding photos ever taken. (But ours were, obviously)

I absolutely loved working with Audrey for our wedding! I had to write her a review. I found her for her beautiful photos but I'm most happy with my choice in her, for all the rest of the little things. We met with her to discuss engagement shoot and wedding photos and she was so thoughtful. She asked questions I hadn't even thought of and it was from those questions that really helped me plan the rest of the wedding day of. She gave me a photo timeline that was absolutely essential. The rest of my vendors were given her timeline and they were so thankful at her level of detail too. I appreciated the thoughtful small touches. The way she asked about any complicated family dynamics, who our chosen family was, who she should highlight etc. I appreciate that she didn't come with assumptions and asked questions, so gently. I've found that's rare in the bridal world. I would 100% recommend Audrey to anyone we know and absolutely loved our experience with her. We went with a second shooter and we loved Olivia too! They both did fantastic work and were so thoughtful and professional. Thank you for all you did for Mike and I, Audrey! We will always remember you as a the one who kept us all together!

Jennifer and her team were astonishing! I did a boudoir session as a bridal gift to my husband, it was such a breeze and I felt so comfortable, although I was quite nervous, she made me feel like I was a pro! Our wedding day was behind schedule all day and with a bridal party of 21 it was a chore keeping everyone on point. They not only kept us going but also checked off all the must have shots for us. Everyone was so professional and kind, we had an absolute fantastic time! I would 10/10 recommend! We budgeted for a good photographer and I am so grateful we did they were amazing to work with!

A cinematic eye. --- A bleeding heart. --- An inclusive spirit. --- I've picked up a camera just about every day since I fell in love with photography in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after a decade in business. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great. Being a helpful and calming presence in the midst of your wedding is second nature to me. Basically, I try to treat people how I want to be treated: with fairness and understanding!

Zach is an incredible artist and I am so glad we hired him as our photographer for both engagement and wedding photos. I am not very comfortable being photographed, and was wary of ending up with a lot of awkward smiles, but Zach is a kind, funny person who will help you open up, laugh and let your natural smile out. His interests beyond the camera—music, film, etc.—have influenced his style, capturing the feeling of incredible moments with a cinematic quality. His photos captured the cozy and moody, yet crisp and bright November day of our wedding perfectly, and I know I will enjoy looking at them, and finding new favorites for years to come. We highly recommend Zach, and would certainly hire him again!

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.

Noelle and her team were AMAZING to work with! She delivered wonderful pictures and helped keep our day so smooth. It truly felt like we were hanging out with our friends all day! The comfort she provides is just as important as her amazing work.

Melo Photo + Video was created with one thing in mind: you and your wedding day. Our local city photographers are there to capture each candid moment: whether you’re planning an intimate micro wedding with your closest friends and family, or an elaborate affair with everyone you know. Melo Photo + Video offers customizable packages at practical-budget friendly prices.

Melo Photo Video made our wedding day so easy from start to finish. Their communication was simple and straightforward, which took stress out of the planning process. When we got our photos back, we were blown away by how thorough and professional their work was. They captured the beauty of my new family in ways we didn't even know to ask for. Every shot felt intentional and showed the real moments that mattered most to us. We would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for photographers who care about getting it right.

As a young couple getting married, it was scary to trust a company to provide everything we needed, but we felt very confident when we talked with Steve. The communication with Steve was great and smooth! They offered a Photographer, Videographer, DJ, and Photo booth! Ron, Austin, and DeAndre were the dream team. If I could give more than five stars, I would.
