I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy? I believe in capturing the big moments, but the small moments too. I believe in being true to yourself and true to each other. I believe in capturing true emotions, both good and bad. I believe that photographs are keys that can unlock the past after years have gone by, and that looking at the past is how we move towards the future.

We booked Meghan for our wedding in October of 2023 with her gold package and I'm so thankful we did. Before we booked with her, she was very communicative and made sure we spoke on the phone before going forward with anything. She made sure we knew each of her packages in and out and helped us pick the best one for our wedding while making sure she could provide the best experience and quality for our wedding. A little closer to the day, she sent us a very thorough checklist to make sure we got every photo we wanted and more. The day of, she showed up early with our second photographer and was very flexible throughout the day even when we changed things last minute. She also kept us on time and made us feel comfortable with what we wanted and how we wanted it. Overall the experience was as incredible as the photos and both me and my husband can say without a doubt that there wasn't a better photographer for our day!

100% 5/5 stars. They were absolutely fabulous photographers for our wedding (June 2023). We had both of them for eight hours. I would (and have) recommended them to others. Neither of us are picture people and they made us so, so comfortable and the pictures we got back were truly a work of art. I'm still astonished with how beautiful everything turned out even almost three months later 3

Viva Por Ti Photography

Pawtucket, RI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Encinitas, CA for additional fees

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.

Working with Dominique was an amazing experience, from our initial inquiry to the delivery of our final gallery. Dominique was very sweet, professional and organized, which made it so that my fiancé and I didn't have to stress over anything. She took a genuine interest in getting to know us and our love story, so that our photos would reflect who we are as a couple. Thanks to her help, our photo timeline worked out perfectly with the timeline of our wedding day events. We are absolutely in love with our galleries and love the creative overlap that we were able to achieve. Dominique made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera, which resulted in natural and genuine photos. We had mentioned that detail shots were important to us, and Dominique captured them beautifully. We are beyond happy with our decision to hire Dominique and are excited to have these gorgeous photos to look back on forever. Thank you so much!

Hi, I'm Jaime! I am so glad you've stumbled across my page. A little about me and my values: I love to tell love stories of honest human connection. I care about how I can represent who you are in your truest form. Your moments are meant to be captured and preserved in the most beautiful way possible. If this appeals to you and you are looking for a super fun new best friend to join you on your journey, I'd love to chat with you and be apart of the best day of your life!

How do I describe my experience with Jaime ? She creates magic. She has captured the most special moments of my family’s life. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a unforgettable and one of a kind photography experience. I first came across Jaime In 2019 while deployed overseas. As I planned a wedding from afar I found her website. Automatically I was drawn to her unique and breathtakingly beautiful photographs. Reaching out to her was the seal of the deal ! She is truly one of the most down to earth and caring individuals I have ever met. Then the pandemic hit and restrictions were set in place for our wedding in September 12th, 2020….oh and not to mention the smokiest day in Spokane’s history. Jaime came out that day and captured so many astonishing and gorgeous photographs. When we got the gallery back it brought my husband and I to tears because she captured our love perfectly. My husband and I can’t recommend her enough. We will treasure these photos forever, thank you Jaime !

Cassie is fantastic! She is a true artist and knows how to capture really amazing photographs. We had asked for a few specific photos which came out lovely, and she came prepared with additional ideas for poses that turned out to be some of our favorite photos of all! We had booked her for our engagement photos and wedding, which was really helpful because we met first for the engagement photos and she got a sense of us as a couple ahead of the wedding. Cassie really takes into account the whole personality of your wedding. She was also skilled at taking pictures without overcrowding—she got so many great candids and we don't remember seeing her. These photos are going to be on display for the rest of our life together and we're so happy that we hired Cassie to capture our wedding day. We recommend her wholeheartedly!

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

From our first conversation to now (months post wedding), Kim has been INCREDIBLE! Please stop looking for a photographer and hire Kim. When we first started searching for a photographer, we were struck by Kim's ability to capture the genuine emotion in each and every photograph. We were lucky enough to work with Kim for both an engagement session and our wedding. Spending your wedding day with Kim is like spending the day with one of your best friends. Her warmth and sense of humor instantly makes you feel comfortable. She captured our day exactly how we experienced it. Kim seamlessly fit in with our families and friends. She even worked pure magic on our 3 flower girls and ring bearer (all under the age of 5!!). We treasure our beautiful photos and are so grateful to Kim for her talent, patience, and kindness throughout the entire process. You hire a photographer and end up with a wonderful friend!

With my heartstrings always pulled by nostalgia, I find myself artistically influenced by anything from the laid back vibes of the 70’s to the punk rock aesthetics of the early 00’s. As a hopeless millennial, probably trying a bit too hard to hold onto her youth, I always try to bring a fun and lighthearted energy everywhere I go. Life is just too short to sweat the small stuff, peeps! Please inquire on my website contact page! <3

I’m Katy, a Michigan based wedding + event photographer. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016. My love for photography started out when I was about 6 years old. I’m a huge goofball, so if you’ve ever thought “I’ll be too awkward in photos," I know what you mean. We can be goofballs together, and I promise I won’t let you look awkward in any of your photos. A little more about me: I'm a foodie. Send bar/restaurant recommendations please! I spend a good portion of my time at concerts when I'm not photographing anything. I'm also a HUUUUGE Detroit Red Wings fan, if you're into any of that, we'll get along great!

I'm a witty human person living with sarcasm, 2 teenagers, a husband, the most adorable pup, and deafening awesomeness. I moved to the States at 9 years old and served in the Marines for 7 years in adulthood. I am too tall for most kid activities and too damn short for most adult activities. I LOVE capturing the raw, unplanned, and candid emotions pouring out of humans. Been doing this sh*t since I was 10 years old! I don't find joy in "cookie-cutter" poses and pictures... I want to capture you JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.

I seriously cannot put into words how amazing Nam is. My now husband and I had never done a photoshoot together so I was nervous how we would be. Nam made it so easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera. She’s a gem! Our wedding went flawlessly because of her. She stayed on track and got every requested photo and then some. She fit right in with all of us, cracking jokes and all. She has such a great personality and will go the extra mile for “the shot”. Can’t recommend enough!!

CONGRATULATIONS! You just got engaged! :o I'm a firm believer in weddings being a blast, so I do what I can to make sure that your time spent with me is fun, active, natural, and feels like YOU! I'm also a firm believer in doing my part in making your wedding planning simpler for you, because let's face it wedding planning can be a bit overwhelming especially in the beginning. Also, weddings are stupid expensive and the moment you add the word "wedding" to anything the price jumps like 5x which is NOT COOL, and doesn't set couples up for success. So I try to keep my prices low. If you need help paying let me know!

Nick was so much fun to work with and was great at breaking the ice and making it more comfortable. During the shoot, he was very helpful with giving different directions and poses to try to look more natural. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend him!

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.

Andrea (Anj) was a pleasure to work with. Her energy was fantastic and her finished product was even better. I am so glad we chose to use Anj as our wedding photographer. Would use her for any photography needs. A true gem!

Kelsey Sheehan Photography was founded in 2019. I made the jump into being a professional photographer to follow my heart and work in a career path that I love! When I am not working you can find me baking with country or 90s/00s R&B blasting, sitting by the fire with my neighbors, doing yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, or hiking with my family. Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.

Kelsey is one of a kind! We were a bit nervous about the engagement photoshoot and many things went wrong that day, but she managed to calm us down and put us in a right mood! She was there for us and made us enjoy the photoshoot so much. We had a blast! And then when we saw the pictures I almost cried-she captured such genuine moments. She is highly professional, friendly, accommodating, and just a fun person to be around. We loved our photoshoot so much that we ended up booking a wedding with her too!

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.

Where can we even start with Kara…. We are obsessed. We first booked her for our engagement photoshoot, and the moment we returned home from our shoot, we reached out to her and booked her for our wedding because we couldn’t imagine our day with anyone else. Throughout our entire wedding experience, Kara made us feel so comfortable and natural. She goes above and beyond to get to know you as a more than just clients, and really treats you like friends that she deeply cares about. By the time our wedding, we were so excited to have Kara around as our trusted photographer AND friend. Her work is truly stunning, and all of our photos from both engagement and the wedding are more gorgeous than we could have ever dreamed of! Booking Kara will be the easier vendor choice you make for your wedding, and we would choose her a million times over if we could (and we will, because she better be ready for us to call on her for photos for the rest of our lives!!).

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.

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

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

Dasha, what can I say? You are truly amazing. Our photos are beyond anything I could have ever hoped and wished for. I was frightened I would not like even one picture of me and because of you, there’s too many to choose from. Throughout the full process, you put us both at ease.

I looked through several different groups when attempting to find the best photographer for our wedding and Hevesi Journal made it easy to choose them. We mainly interacted with Katie, who was professional and calming and funny throughout every encounter. We did our engagement photos with her as well as our wedding photos and both sets turned out better than I could have imagined. Getting photographs that really showed the essence of us as a couple was one of the more important things we had hoped for when planning the wedding and this goal was certainly achieved. For our engagement photos, Katie followed us up a mountain and during the wedding she made sure that all of our desired groupings (for example, my father and his siblings) were captured with ease. I would 100% use their services again and if I have anything that needs documenting in the future will not be hesitating to reach out.

Hiya, I am Vital (pronounces Vee-tal), and I am a 20 something guy with a camera in my hands and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall even more in love with my job. My fiancee and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel domestically and abroad, and I can't imagine life without photos. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I found Vital's beautiful photography through Instagram. As a photographer myself, finding the perfect photographer to capture our wedding in October was a tough decision. From the minute we contacted Vital he was friendly, professional and knew exactly what he was talking about. Vital's style is artistic and documentary and exactly what we were looking for. As part of our wedding package he included an engagement shoot. My husband and I aren't the best in front of a camera but he made us feel comfortable straight away and we had so much fun! The experience of the shoot was just as great of a memory as the photos we received from it. Having Vital shoot our engagement really put our minds at ease that we choose the right person for our wedding. The photos from our wedding were incredibly important to us and it was nice not worrying about them on our wedding day. Vital delivered close to 500 photos of our wedding which really captured every moment of the day. He even agreed to drive to another location after our reception to capture a few more photos for us, which we are truly grateful for. We are beyond happy with how the photos of our special day turned out. We've had so many compliments from family and friends and would definitely recommend him to other couples!

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.

I've been pushing off this review because I just can't find a way to put into words how AMAZING Rob & Lyndi were. Not only were they just all around good people and a pleasure to work with, but they were able to capture some of the best moments of our wedding...SO tough to pick our favorites! I came across Sugar Rush Photo + Video while scrolling through a million different wedding photographer websites and I was sold on their casual/super approachable tone and the great candid shots they featured. My husband and I typically shy away from the camera, but loved the idea of being able to see our guests at their best when they weren't looking. Rob & Lyndi were super responsive the entire time (note: we brought them on with a little over a year to go) and made the whole process easy for us. A lot of people wondered why we were flying our photographers in from Utah, but after the wedding and after looking at the photos, it became clear to everyone. They flew into SF for our outdoor October wedding weekend and it was like we were meeting long lost friends even though we had only exchanged emails. They rocked it at our welcome pig roast and it felt like they were part of the family. That Saturday, they split getting ready duties between two locations, got us ready for a first look in the park before our outdoor ceremony and made each of us look waaaayy better/way more glamorous than we'd ever looked before and captured some great moments with our family. For our formals, we set loose on the city and Lyndi captured what a coworker called the best wedding picture ever in front of the Painted Ladies in Alamo Square Park. We squeezed in a second location before heading into our reception just for fun! We kinda felt like fancy fashion models as we looked through our gallery. The reception was a blast and our guests kept pulling us aside saying how it felt like our photographers were just an extension of our friends and family and that they were just so fun to be around. Rob & Lyndi have such amazing energy and it oozes onto everyone they interact with. I highly recommend them for weddings, engagements (wish we had done that!) and anything else...especially if you're not that comfortable in front of the camera! They make you feel so at ease and like you're laughing with your most inappropriate and hilarious friends. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

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.

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

I can't gush over Grace enough. After postponing our wedding twice due to Covid, we abandoned our original plans of having a huge wedding at home in Kentucky and decided to have a small ceremony at the beach in Florida. After finding Grace through hashtags on Instagram, we DMed a bit and setup a call. After talking on the phone, I was sold! Grace was my go to girl for all things Florida. She had the BEST recommendations for other vendors and was ALWAYS just a text away if I had any questions or simply needed someone to share wedding plans with. Even though we didn't actually meet in person until the day of the ceremony, it felt as if we had been lifelong friends. She PERFECTLY captured our ceremony and I can't wait to plan another shoot with her when we visit again!!

Kirstin joined in about two years ago, and has quickly become just as skilled in weddings. We have shot over 200 weddings and enjoy every minute of every one. We love to get to know our couples to ensure we add that personal touch to weddings, rather than just capturing the generic shots. We strive to focus on your wants and needs to create your dream gallery on such an important day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We initially hired Zach Beazer to take our engagement photos. We loved the photos and our interaction with him so much, that we hired him to be our wedding photographer. Then, we hired him again to two more times for photo shoots. We love every single photo that we receive from Zach. We can see the intentionality, thoughtfulness, and professionalism in every photo. We have printed out, framed, and hung on our walls many of the photos he has taken of us. It's clear that Zach takes his photography seriously, and he also takes his relationships seriously. Every time we see him, he'll ask about things that we shared with him from the previous photo shoot. We feel very comfortable around him as he has become both a photographer and friend to us. If you are looking for a very professional photographer who is also friendly and fun, Zach Beazer is the photographer for you. If you are more shy and aren't very creative when it comes to poses, Zach Beazer is the photographer for you! He has both fun and practical ways of getting certain facial expressions and poses out of you without making you feel uncomfortable. If you want a photographer who doesn't stick out like a sore thumb at your events, Zach Beazer is the photographer for you. There are so many of our wedding photos that impressed me and my wife and that made us go, "How did Zach get that shot? I didn't even notice him there!" If you want both quality and cost-effectiveness, Zach Beazer is the photographer for you. I've had so many conversations with couples who either regretted paying too much for a photographer that didn't even take good photos or regretted not paying more for a good photographer. With Zach, I was so happy we got such great photos at a reasonable cost. Overall, Zach Beazer is your ideal photographer. He'll be our photographer for life! We are so thankful to God to have blessed us with Zach in our lives as our photographer and friend!

I specialize in documenting weddings! I believe in images that are timeless, true to color, with a touch of moodiness and emotion. Photography is one of the biggest and most important investments you’ll make for your wedding day. Wedding photography isn’t just a financial investment. You’re also investing in a photographer who values and builds that relationship from the start, from planning a custom timeline with you, to going over all the details every step of the way leading up to the wedding day. I want my couples to be as involved in the creative process as I am. It’s all about the experience!

Words can't fully describe how amazing the experience was from start to finish with Chamblee! If you need someone to capture a moment as precious as saying "I Do", Chamblee is your photographer! She was always thoughtful and patient, and the quality of the photos are amazing! Each photo shows how much care and attention Chamblee puts into the composition of each shot!

Living in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to explore many beautiful places right here in my backyard, I enjoy hiking and backpacking as well as eating all of the diverse food we can find here! How did I get into Photography? A Middle School project that required us to document our everyday lives sparked that interest and I've had a camera with me since then! Having been a bride myself a few years ago, I know how important photos are. I put myself in your shoes and make sure to document all of the small details and moments as well as the can't miss big moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
I love photos and photography was one of my must have, high quality items for our wedding. Our original photographer had to back out (with plenty of time and notice) so we found ourselves back at the drawing board several months before the wedding. I found Brenda and loved that her images showed a diverse clientele - as a plus size bride with a SO over 6’ tall, that was something that really mattered to me. By the end of our Zoom meeting I wanted to hug her! I felt confident she was the right fit. When the big day came around, not only was her presence instantly calming (things had already been going wrong that morning) but she was incredibly helpful every step of the way, including trying to find a dropped earring, closing my necklace because everyone’s nails were too long, making sure I had space to take a break when my nerves overwhelmed me. We just got some of our sneak peeks in and wow…I’m crying all over again. She captured moments between my SO and I so beautifully, you can feel the love we have for each other. It sounds cliche, but it’s true! Not only were we pleased with Brenda, our guests and wedding party all had such kind things to say about her - how many weddings have you gone to and complimented the photographer, as a guest?! If her style is one that you like, don’t hesitate to hire Brenda. I can’t wait to take more photos with her as we grow old. She was an important part of our day and, for me, the best person to have by my side throughout the chaotic day. I was so happy to have her as part of our adventurers club.

Coral was amazing to work with! We had the pleasure of getting to know her when we booked her last-minute to take some photos of my good friends' small backyard ceremony in 2018. When my husband and I later got engaged, we knew we had to book Coral to capture our own planned festivities for June 2020. When 2020 rolled around and it became apparent that we had to scrap most of our original plans, we couldn't have asked for a better partner than Coral. Her flexibility and encouragement during what was a crazy time for everyone kept us sane. We unfortunately nixed all of our other vendors with the changes we made, but kept Coral because we knew we wanted her there to capture whatever our day turned out to be. Coral captured beautiful photos of our two(!) wedding/reception dates and we are so glad to have those treasured photos. She's incredibly easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable, especially as my family and I don't get in front of the camera very often. We can't recommend Coral enough!

Like many people, I spent 10 years within corporate America and although I am thankful for my experience, it wasn't feeding my soul. I can be honest and say that I learned so much- my customer service skills, high-level organizational & strategy skills, and my overall work ethic comes directly from my experience within a regular ol' 9-5. However, I've been able to pair what I learned the last 10 years with my passion for photography, and have built this business to provide a stellar experience, the same one I would expect if I were getting married. Below I'll dive into what sets Loui apart, and I hope to hear about your upcoming day!

Hayley and I are wedding videographers (Sublime Exposures Films). We meet photographers all the time and know what it's like to work with normal ones, bad ones, and now even great ones. Meg of LouiPhotography was the most decisive AND remained flexible. She was the most communicative about what she was going to do and why, and was extremely transparent. We're originally from Fargo, and working with her made us want to move to the cities to hang with the real professionals. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and working with us so well to make our jobs easy. All teams should be able to collaborate like that to make the day the least stressful for the brides and grooms as possible and we shall always strive for this standard. Hope to work with you again soon!

Hi! I'm Ria, but my friends call me Ri. I'm a Southern California based photographer traveling worldwide for weddings, elopements & love. There's nothing that makes me happier than making other people feel fucking GREAT about themselves. I care about eternalizing your story, no matter your race, gender, sexuality or body type — i’m here for you.

My husband and I hired Ria to capture our engagement and wedding photos and she absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way possible! We both are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but she made us feel so comfortable and confident in what we were doing. Not only is Ria the BIGGEST hype girl, but she is also kind, professional, and extremely talented. We just received a few sneak peeks after our wedding this past weekend and were amazed at how perfectly she was able to capture every tiny detail and special moment. My husband and I will cherish the photos that she took for years to come. Hire this girl, you won't regret it!!

Hi! I’m Gabriela, but you can call me Gaby! I’ve been a photographer and storyteller for more than seven years. It’s something I’ve always been passionate about… Creating Art. I know love, I know how deep it is and I can see the undeniable connection between two people. I’ve always believed we all should love WITHOUT FEAR. I want my photography to be a storytelling, natural, authentic, and timeless piece of art that reflects what’s truly there. To make love transcend the screen and make people feel it, because… Love has NO BOUNDARIES.

Gabriela stepped in last minute for our wedding and she was the absolute best photographer we could have hoped for. She is super personable and got along great with our guests while still being incredibly professional. She came with all of the right equipment and gear to get the best quality photos as our outdoor gardens wedding progressed from afternoon, sunset, to night lighting. She also worked quickly and efficiently to get all of the shots we wanted in a short time - she even photographed our venue, wedding rings, and garments in tasteful ways without us having to put any thought or stress into it. She really listened to our preferences and made us feel comfortable while taking photos that might otherwise feel awkward to pose for. She also had a great talent for candid photos and capturing the fun of the night with all of the guests. Her editing was very natural and completely matched the style that we were hoping for. We 100% recommend Gabriela as she is an excellent photographer and great to work with!

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

I LOVE our engagement photos so much ! Nadia did our engagement photos in Central Park, NYC. I was so nervous because it was raining but her attitude was so positive and calmed me down instantly :) during the shoot , she was patient and helped us feel more comfortable. She helped direct some poses because we are awkward (LOL) and caught some really nice candid shots . Bottom line is that I couldn’t have asked for better photographer !! I receive so many compliments on the engagement photos , some look like they’re straight from a magazine :) thank you , nadia !! You’re the best ! :) here them, you won’t regret it !

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer who loves to frequent the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Midwest (where I grew up.) I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking Grace T Photography was the single best wedding planning decision I made and I would do it again in an instant. From our first conversation to the most recent, everything was seamless. Going in, I knew her photography was perfection. What I was not expecting to receive was 800 flawless photos just from our wedding day alone, not to mention the adventure session (which she went above and beyond for) and engagement session. Her photo style captures so much EMOTION and viewing them takes us right back to the day. She also made getting photos taken fun! I couldn't help but laugh during our entire engagement session at how much fun my (now) husband was having (he typically dislikes taking even 1 photo). Additionally, I cannot get over Grace’s service. Grace has a relaxed vibe about her while remaining 1000% on top of everything. It is contagious and it put even my ever racing mind to ease. It allowed me to be SO much more present on our wedding day and for that I will FOREVER be grateful. I appreciate Grace allowing me to put complete trust in her and continuing to do laps around my already high expectations. Did I mention that this was all while Grace and Kyle received the most devasting family news on the morning of our wedding (which I had no clue about until later)? Their selflessness seriously bring tears to my eyes. Thank you, Grace & Kyle. Seriously. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.

You’ve come to the right place for your wedding photographs. My business is a full service photography company specializing in weddings, lifestyle photography, special events and occasions. Ever the perfectionist, I make a considerable investment in every wedding collection to ensure the highest quality result.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the start Ryan was a professional artist who really thought through all the details and components of our unique venue. He allowed himself extra time on the wedding day to confirm final layout for a ceremony in a wide open field taking sunset, backdrop and shadows all into consideration. And he bounced around during the reception to be sure he wasn't missing any special moments. He was such a pleasure to work with and I give him high praises and the biggest recommendation.
