“Eivan's photo and video services were very affordable and were a major reason why we went with them. I think the photos we received turned out very well and captured many of the amazing moments that we had at the wedding. The service we paid for only included one photographer and one videographer but they were both very attentive and made sure to be where the action was the entire day. Overall, the experience was positive and for a bride who was more focused on living through the experience of her wedding, Eivan's did a good job of handling the stuff you don't really want to think about.”

“We could not be happier with our experience with Original Weddings. Photography was one of our top priorities, and choosing their highest photography package was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It was important to us to capture all the memories of the day, which is why we wanted full-day coverage and a second shooter. We are so glad we did. Nothing was missed. From different angles during the ceremony to candid guest reactions we did not get to see in the moment, every detail was captured, both big and small. The engagement shoot, which was included in our package, made such a difference. It helped us learn how to pose, allowed our photographer to get to know our personalities, and gave us the chance to be creative together. By the time the wedding day arrived, nothing felt awkward or forced. We felt completely comfortable and had a lot of fun. On the wedding day, Ashton gave gentle direction that felt natural, fun, and creative, while still allowing moments to unfold organically. Our second shooter, Solomon, was equally wonderful. He was creative, personable, and a joy to be around. We truly felt the love and care that both Ashton and Solomon put into their craft. We also chose to receive our photos in all three editing styles they offer, along with black and white images, which gave us so much variety and made the gallery feel incredibly thoughtful and complete. Even more impressive, we received our full gallery back in just four weeks. Getting our photos back so quickly made the experience even more meaningful. It allowed us to share them with my husband’s grandmother before she passed away, which is something we will always be grateful for. We have friends who were married a month before us and are still waiting on their photos, so this level of care and turnaround truly stood out. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day with our favorite people, all the love, joy, and emotion captured so beautifully. If photography is a top priority for you, this is the team to book. We cannot recommend Original Weddings enough.”

Penny here! Extroverted world traveling, dog snuggler who use creatively candid photography to connect with couples getting married. My method includes learning about my clients to establish trust, while adding an abundance of energy and ideas to showcase epic portraits and real moments throughout the day. I believe that people love candid photos because they get to relive the unexpected moments and connection they were having with those around them. From eye-popping laughs to full squishy hugs, I want to capture it all!

“Photography was super important to my husband and I and Penny exceeded every expectation we had. Her unique style is exactly what we were looking for and she caught precious moments throughout the wedding as well as captured the absolute must-have shots as well. She made sure the day was structured so that we got all the type of photos we wanted to have. She also was absolutely INCREDIBLE the day of the wedding and how comfortable she made everyone feel. She honestly felt like part of the group and was a huge hit at the wedding. I can’t recommend Penny enough. If you want photos that don’t look like everyone else’s and who can fit right in with your family and friends - book her immediately!”

Here at Vick Photography, we want to give you the ultimate wedding experience from start to finish. We live for the happy moments that keep you curious and we are here to listen, laugh, and create intentional photographs for you. I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and can't wait to bring you into our Vick Photography family.

“We hired Vick Photography for our wedding and Andrew delivered solid work from start to finish. He showed up with positive energy and a cooperative spirit that made the day feel smooth. Andrew takes a high volume of shots to ensure nothing gets missed, which gives you confidence in the coverage. That said, communication before and after the wedding was slower than we hoped, and during the day it felt like the direction was mostly his call rather than a collaboration with us. He's clearly experienced and skilled at what he does, though the process felt a bit more transactional than personal. If you're looking for a seasoned photographer who will capture your day reliably, Andrew is a solid choice—just know that you'll want to discuss your vision upfront since he doesn't ask for much input once the day begins.”

In all facets of my work, I always strive to tell a story. For weddings, that means telling not only the story of an event - but one of two people who’ve spent countless hours together. Your photos should be a direct reflection of your relationship - timeless, emotional, and authentic. I believe in keeping things simple and work in a way that allows you to appreciate your day and its details, while I capture everything in a modern journalistic style. I want you to be able to relive the moments of your wedding, both seen and unseen, with your photos. Photography isn’t just my career, it’s my life, and I can’t wait to make it part of yours.

My art is dedicated to capturing genuine, raw human emotion through playful and experimental photography. With a background in photojournalism and 17+ years of experience photographing couples, she tells the story of both the wedding day and the couple in a unique combination of candids, details, and portraits.

“Heather is such an amazing photographer to work with! We did both our engagement and our wedding photos with her and both of them were such fun and unique experiences! Heather is the BEST if you're looking for something very personalized, unique and off-beat, and she really knows how to capture the unique spirit of your wedding. On the day, she knows how to manage your time and keep the day going smoothly. I also just want to mention she is the BEST at beautiful candid moments. So many photographers can be great at beautiful posed shots, but fall down when it comes to capturing those in-the-moment photos. Hers are well lit, beautifully framed and really speak to those special moments that really make your day memorable. 10/10!”

Photography is more than a career to me, it's my passion. I want to give you an inspired photographic experience. ‍ Your wedding images should tell your story, not mine or anyone else's. The images should evoke the raw and honest emotions of the love you share. Through my lens, I strive to faithfully translate the love and emotion you feel into timeless and genuine images, so five, ten, or fifty years from the future you can relive that day the same way you experienced it. The timeless photographs will become your treasured and preserved works of art, ready to be gathered together in an album or hung on your walls.

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

“I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!”

I want to give you a one-of-a-kind experience and a radiant confidence in who you are, both inside and out. As a photographer, I believe that every person has a remarkable story that deserves to be shared. I believe that authenticity is art and that honest images are the most beautiful. I make it my mission to craft a unique session for each client that truly highlights their personality and preserves it in timeless photographs that can be treasured for decades.

“1000% hands down, you must hire Tiger Lily Photography! I just love love love love love Emily. She just shot our wedding this month. There are no words to describe how much I appreciate her. Down to the smallest details…she shows up with an energy you cannot put into words. She even had a pulse on when I could use a water throughout the day and would deliver it to me without me even asking. She is always one step ahead of anything and truly everything all day long. She is a calming presence, stayed on the timeline without an ounce of stress involved, always checked in to make sure both my husband and I were not feeling rushed. She seriously is the absolute best! The best part is that her photos are absolutely phenomenal and speak for themselves, she is so talented. Looking through our wedding photos allows me to relive the best day ever, all thanks to Emily!!”
