When you hire Rick Lash Photography, you're hiring me, Rick. I've been a professional wedding photographer since 2012 and I still love what I do more than I did the day before. I'm here to make your wedding day better. How do I do this? By being thoughtful, professional, and precise. What's this mean? I'm going to walk through your day several times with you before we get there. We're going to plan how I should capture it without getting in your way. I want you to enjoy your day as much as possible while I'm able to fulfill my role to the best of my abilities. I'm also here to make your memories better. That's what my photography is for.

I hired Rick to photograph a family gathering to celebrate a 150th anniversary event. Rick's ability to capture moments when family members were talking, laughing, hugging, and sharing special glances is one of his true talents. The photographs reveal personalities and emotions, and as we look at the photographs we keep saying "that's so her/him!".

I have been photographing weddings and events for 8 years, and I couldn't imagine anything more fulfilling than capturing the sweetest and most authentically beautiful moments in my couples' lives. I love making new friends in my clients and can't wait to become one of yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
It was love at first sight when I found Blooming Faith Photography on Zola! I was struck by the classic style of the portraits and natural air of those being photographed. It was exactly what I was looking for! Melissa was quick to respond to my inquiry and provided all the info I needed right off the bat. She is detailed and thorough in her correspondence and planning, which I appreciated since we only had 5 months to plan our wedding long distance. She offered an introductory Zoom consultation to discuss our vision for the photos so we could feel at ease leading up to the actual day. When the time came, Melissa was the consummate professional! We did a First Look shoot, and she lead the way completely, to avoid any awkward mishaps and to insure we got the moment captured on our video as well. All of our formal photos were posed beautifully and naturally, and she timed it all perfectly (which was great, because it was quite cold!) She’s also great with kids! Our flower girl and ring bearer had a great time doing photos. At both the ceremony and reception, Melissa didn’t miss a single moment yet remained respectful and discreet. Her experience and expertise is obvious! And the photos that we’ve seen so far have been absolutely gorgeous. Timeless and sophisticated while still capturing the joy from that day. And as a human being, we couldn’t have asked for a kinder soul to capture everything for us. Melissa’s warmth and care brought the whole experience to another level. My husband and I were blessed to have found Blooming Faith Photography!

We all start this wild journey one way or another. My way? I was introduced to Ansel Adams’ work in a Photo 1 class in high school. How would the kids say this… his black and whites were giving adventure? What I mean is, they were nice. I had already been hiking the Adirondacks for 15 years at that point, why couldn’t I do it? Why couldn’t I take those photos too? I set out to prove to myself I could. Over the past decade I’ve evolved from landscapes to sports to family portraits to weddings. I continue all of those today. Never forget your roots, right?

There aren’t enough words to describe how excellent our experience was working with Joe, and we couldn’t be happier with the service he provided to us for our engagement and wedding pictures. He made us feel very comfortable and relaxed, all while being so patient with us and our wedding party. He captured our entire wedding day from the moment we started getting ready to the time we left our reception. I had an extensive list of “must have” shots and he was able to capture all of them. The quality of the photos exceeded all of my expectations and I couldn’t recommend him more! He’s an absolute pleasure to work with and you will not be disappointed with his work!

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

Lexi did a wonderful job capturing my husband and I’s wedding day! We couldn’t be more grateful for all the amazing photos she took for us. We will cherish them forever! Lexi is a very skilled photographer who pays close attention to detail. Her calm & caring personality was also very comforting for the both of us. Highly recommend L& L photography!

From NY to TX, then back again... I started my photography adventure 10 years ago in a small studio in upstate, New York. Since then, I've traveled across the country, taking pictures the entire time. I've captured a lifetime of memories in pictures, and now, I hope I can do the same for you! I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come. When I'm not taking pictures, I am working as a nurse and dreaming of the days when I can put my toes in the sand with my nieces in Cape Cod.

Katharine M. Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. As a great communicator who responds quickly, Katharine made us feel so comfortable and helped make our wedding day fun and stress-free. Her work is amazing - the photos are beautiful and perfect, capturing every special moment. She followed our shot list to a tee and then some, even handling our pushy father-in-law gracefully when he tried to take over. I've used Katharine for both our wedding and engagement photos, and I'm thrilled I did. Her go-with-the-flow style was exactly what I needed on the big day.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

My name is Danielle Majka. Also called Danielle Love by my husband, hence the business name :) I am a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Port Saint Lucie in South Florida. I have always known that I wanted to pursue a career with some form of creativity. I graduated with a degree in graphic design in 2011 and began working as a graphic designer at a local sign shop. While I loved most of the job, I learned that I really wasn’t meant to sit behind a desk from 9-5. I began taking photos for family and friends and loved it! That’s when I dove head first into photography.

Danielle made the whole planning process and wedding day a breeze. She made us feel comfortable and captured our love perfectly. We just got our sneak peaks back, and they are absolutely perfection. I have gotten so many compliments of how amazing our photos came out, and I love them so much. Would highly recommend.

I started my photography journey as a simple hobby where I carried my camera with me everywhere and took photos of everything. Over time, I began to develop my skills into a more sophisticated / professional style as you might expect for weddings and other formal events. I paired up with a local multi award winning wedding photographer who helped me in refining my skills and taught me the ins and outs of wedding photography and I've never looked back. Since then, I have started my own business as a photographer and take pride in my style and skill as being mostly self taught, candid, emotional and captivating.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with him was the absolute best! Not only are our photos gorgeous, but he was super communicative throughout the entire process, helped talk us through the venue we wanted, helped us find an officiant, and made sure we had everything we needed to have a perfect day! We came into town from Florida so we didn't know much about the area, but he helped us find exactly where to go for our photos, and ensured we got every single shot we could have wanted! Our photos are beautiful, capture the landscape perfectly, and everyone I've shown them to has commented on how you can genuinely feel our joy and happiness through the photos! He also got the photos back to us quickly, and was open to changes (which we didn't need, but was appreciated!) overall, I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and loved working with him!

She had great direction when we felt awkward posing but she would make us feel comfortable to let go and really take in the moment. We noticed her talents through yellow paddle photography and through them I was able to pick out who fit best as well as style in photography and we are so happy to have found her. We wanted some different styles for our wedding shoot so we asked for different lens such as the kaleidoscope effect and others and those are our favorite ones!

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

Why, hello there. I'm the creative behind the lens. I am a Canadian who pursued his true love, got married and found himself in the United States. It turns out, it can take some time to receive permanent residency, which led me to pick up a camera and fall in love with the art.

I don't even know where to start regarding Zhaun!! From our engagement photos all the way to our wedding day, he was so remarkably supportive, reassuring, & honestly invaluable the entire process. My husband & I always joke that we're remarkably unphotogenic & can be awkward in front of the camera-- but all of that really washed away with Zhaun. I know you've all seen the more cheesy or uber serious photographers, & Zhaun truly met us where we were & was able to create such a wonderfully laid back vibe. His photos obviously speak for themselves & it goes without saying, but holy MOLY is he talented!!! I made a pinterest page with different 'inspo,' wanting our photos of the big day to capture a lot of the joy in the little interactions with not only us, but all of our guests & boy did Zhaun deliver & then some!! We cannot thank him enough for all he's done for us!! You're the best!!! xx K&J

With 16 years experience, Mel Barlow is an internationally recognized photographer who has been commissioned for commercial, lifestyle, editorial and high profile events worldwide. She is drawn to environmental and lifestyle portraiture and still life photography incorporating common threads of texture, airy spaces and clean lines. Her photographic sensibility creates raw, personal images that evoke a range of emotions.

Mel Barlow is the best! She was super professional and took the time prior to our wedding to get to know us through phone calls and emails. By the time the wedding came around I felt like Mel totally understood my vision (even though I couldn't even articulate what that vision was) and was able to capture that through our photos. She's that good! I was anxious to take photos because we have a big family and a lot of opinions but Mel made everything stress free and actually fun for all of us. Even without a preliminary engagement shoot (to get us comfortable in front of the camera) my husband and I felt at ease with Mel leading us! Don't even get me started on the actual photos...they are incredible! Mel captured our personalities so perfectly and I am obsessed with every single photo.

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

I'm a visual storyteller with a passion for capturing love in its purest form. With 10 years in the photography world and 9 years of experience in weddings, I've had the privilege of documenting countless love stories. My style is all about authenticity and emotion. I strive to freeze those genuine, fleeting moments — the laughter, the tears, the stolen glances — in a visual symphony that tells the unique tale of your love. I've always been a cheesy "lover of love." I feel lucky to document such vulnerable emotions, life-changing experiences, and really awesome parties!

Alex is AMAZING. Her photos left us in awe — I was so impressed by how she listened to my vision and adapted her style accordingly. Most of all, though, Alex excels in all things related to running a business — she’s prompt in email responses, professional with her contracts and payment process, and goes above and beyond to connect you with resources for a successful day (a last minute coordinator, in my case). This is what really sets her apart from other vendors in my opinion. Run, don’t walk, to hire Alex for your wedding!
