“I chose not to have a videographer for my wedding, and had it covered only by photography. I sit here now, barely two weeks out from my wedding, already enjoying my entire wedding photo gallery from these amazing photographers that captured every detail as if they were using video recorders instead! Not only did they guarentee quick turn around on my photos (I think their words were "before you're back from your honeymoon") but the quality of work speaks for itself in the photos. They were such an joy to work with- often splitting up to cover ground and their easy banter with each other puts you right at ease when they're pointing those big cameras at you. I will never be able to thank them enough for making our day so special, and I'll enjoy it with their photos for the rest of our days.”

“I’ve known Ali outside of her photography career and when I was starting to plan out things for my wedding I didn’t hesitate to reach to her for her to be my photographer/wedding helper. Her personality and work ethic spoke for themselves. I hadn’t seen her photography work before booking with her, and that’s how much trust I had in her and her expertise as a wedding photographer. Our engagement shoot with her was flawless and her patience was greatly appreciated. We had no idea what to expect but her many years of photography experience definitely helped our nervous jitters. She cued us on specific positions and things to talk about so that she could capture the perfect moments. Oh and she was great with the fur babies, they were doing their best but she helped us out with their quirks. 10/10 recommend Ali for your photography needs…I’m very excited for our wedding day!”

We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!”

My name is Joey, and I am the creative director and lead wedding photographer at Joey Wallace Photography. With much hard work, we have acquired a unique skill-set and in-depth knowledge that earned us the place we’re in today as Atlanta’s top wedding photographers and videographers. We're thankful to have the luxury of owning a wide range of cutting edge wedding photography equipment, and with the backing of some of the most talented wedding photographers in the Atlanta area, we can confidently document every important moment of your all-day luxurious ballroom celebration or 3-day colorful South Asian and Indian wedding parade.

“Where to start?! Joey and his team are incredible--words cannot do them justice. Besides getting married, Joey was one of my favorite parts of our wedding day. He is amazing at directing and making you feel comfortable. His communication is impeccable. We feel truly blessed to have had Joey be a part of our day and for helping us create (and capture) amazing memories with all our favorite people in one place.”

“Carolyn and Jake were an absolute joy to work with! From the very first consultation call we had with Carolyn, we knew they were going to be the right fit for us. Capturing authentic moments during our wedding was our top priority, and they delivered tenfold. Their kindness and warmth made the whole experience super comfortable and fun! My now husband and I are kind of awkward in front of the camera, but they were able to capture this and turn it into something beautiful. We even had several wedding guests tell us how awesome they were. Not to mention, Carolyn was super communicative, organized, and punctual the whole time. We got a few sneak peek wedding photos back the DAY of our wedding, and our full album was delivered within TWO weeks! Couldn't recommend Wilder Weddings enough. I wish I could get married again just so we can work with them again!”
