A camera is a miracle. It lets us hold on to time, preserving the voices, faces, and laughter of the people we love. At Kings Films, we create cinematic wedding documentaries that feel like a family heirloom—real, emotional, and deeply personal. Our films don’t just show what happened; they tell the story of who you are, with interviews from guests and loved ones, heartfelt audio, and unscripted moments that reflect the joy and connection of your day. If you value your people as much as the party, you're in the right place.

there are not enough words to express how amazing Ariel and his team are! They went above, and beyond what we asked for and we are so grateful that we decided to go with this videographer team. Our thoughts for our video felt out there, and I had quite a few people give me strange looks when I was explaining what I wanted done. But Ariel was excited about the style and had so many ideas off the bat. I am so grateful that we decided to go with his team for our wedding! If we ever need another videographer, he’s the one I’m going to call!

Hi, I'm Sevi! I'm a Cleveland-based wedding, elopement, and boudoir photographer documenting honest, artful love stories across Ohio and beyond. I'm drawn to deep connections, golden light, and the little in-between moments that make your day uniquely yours. Whether you're planning a big celebration or an intimate adventure, I'm here to guide you, hype you up, and capture every moment with care and intention.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had a specific vision for our photos, and Sevi absolutely delivered. Her style is moody and vintage, and her attention to detail is amazing. From the beginning, Sevi was communicative and helpful. She provided a guide for wedding planning, photographed our engagement shoot beautifully, and even introduced us to her husband, Jeff, who officiated our wedding. The day of, she arrived with a second photographer and captured all the moments you want, to include candid ones we didn’t even think of. She provided a sneak peek in a few weeks, and the rest of the 800 photos in approximately 3 months. The wait was worth it as she went through each photo of the thousands she took and provided an album that perfectly curated our day. I couldn’t recommend Sevi more. Thanks, Sevi!

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.

Brianna and Karin were absolute rockstars! They took on a super difficult task due to the nature of the venue -- an DIY outdoor center with no cell phone reception, and key sites separated by a 0.3 mile gravel path, plus literally 7 different locations for all the different events (rehearsal, his and hers getting ready, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, and food storage cabin). Oh, also the venue team has never hosted a wedding before!!! B&K handled it perfectly. I truly don't know what we would have done without them. Thank you for helping make it such a truly unique and special day.

My name is Meredith. I’m a self-taught photographer, an avid hiker, and a person who loves getting lost in their own city. If I am not photographing, you will either find me in one of two places, a coffee shop or out in nature usually eating my favorite snacks in fish form (Swedish or Gold), or belting anything from musicals to early 2000s country (yes there is a difference) to 90’s hip hop jams.

Meredith is amazing! She's so easy to work with, she kept up with my neurotic emails and texts. She's great at communicating all details and scheduling. She is just the most down to earth soul you'll meet. She did a fantastic job at corralling my family for our group picture. I have a HUGE family, and it's not easy to get us all in one spot (especially with children and babies all over) But Meredith was so patient with us. She managed to get AMAZING shots in the chaos. Everyone loved her aura. She really captured the love that was shared that day. I am forever grateful for her capturing our special day.

Meghan Ann Imagery LLC was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, her communication was very clear, and on a personal level she is incredibly kind and sweet to deal with. We weren't initially planning to have a photographer since this was our very small "legal" wedding and we were planning a larger destination wedding, but we're so glad we decided to book Meghan last minute. On Mother's Day, she gladly accepted the job and captured every special moment beautifully. The quality of her work was tremendous, exceeding our expectations with how fast she turned around our photos, and we now have precious memories to cherish forever. We are absolutely thrilled with the photos and cannot recommend Meghan Ann Imagery LLC highly enough.

I'm a follower of Jesus, adventure lover, wife to Josiah (my husband of four years, personal chef, and favorite weirdo), and dog mom to Solo (the sweetest chihuahua you'll ever meet). When I'm not working, you'll find me with a friend at a coffee shop or curled up at home with a good book or a show; most likely a rom com. I'm a big fan of morning light, cold brew coffee, and dark chocolate anything. My favorite travel destination is the Oregon coast and my perfect day would consist of the beach, hiking, good food, and close friends.

Annie captured both our engagement photos and our wedding day and I would chose her over and over again in a heartbeat. Not only is she such a kind, genuine person, her photography talent speaks for itself in her photos. Throughout the entire wedding planning process Annie made herself available to assist in creating a timeline for the day and offering practical suggestions that I never would have thought of. Her experience in wedding days is a tremendous asset in itself! The day of our wedding Annie was a chauffeur for me to our first look, a calm during the whirlwind storm of a wedding day, a giver of several laughs and the person who remembered to grab the rings when leaving for the church. I am so grateful for Annie and her ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera and I admire the passion and dedication she has towards her clients. I am certain no one would ever regret booking with Annie to capture their special day.

Her knowledge of hidden gem spots in Austin and ability to get the perfect shot is unmatched. You won’t regret choosing her! We can’t wait for our next chance to capture memories with Sierra.

I am a midwesterner, born and raised in the burbs north of Chicago who strives to capture moments that are gone in a second, impossible to reproduce, but with the help of an artist touch, can last a lifetime. I'm here to connect with you, listen to you, create with you, and provide a stress-free, comfortable atmosphere from start to finish. 3 things about myself, I have 3 dogs (yes, its crazy LOL), I am in loveee with Target, and coffee and mango froyo are my love languages.

Nichole is the best choice you can make for photography for your wedding day! She has a special ability to make all of her couples feel amazing. We love how our gallery came out and she did an amazing job getting pictures without them feeling forced or awkward. We had so much fun having her capture our day. Throughout the planning process, she was always available for a phone call and responsive via email to our questions. Thank you Nichole for everything, you are the best!

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.
