Kaitlyn Johnston Photography

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves Madera, CA for additional fees

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.

I have had Kaitlyn as a photographer for 5 years now. She’s photographed everything for me. Family photos, engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity photos, newborn pictures, professional headshots, and boudoir. They all come out amazing and she is so good at making my family smile in front of the camera. She’s phenomenal at capturing the special moments too!

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Madera, CA for additional fees

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I know Dasha for many years and love working with her both on the weddings and on my personal inspirational projects (she’d shoot a number of my dresses over the years) Dasha is very easy going person, who’s always up for something new and creative.

Kelsey Sheehan Photography

Norton, MA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Madera, CA for additional fees

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey was wonderful to work with for our engagement shoot! Our engagement session was a bit out of the norm, but Kelsey rolled with it with open arms and tried something new with us. We weren’t completely sure how the process would go, but Kelsey guided us through different shots and was also open to different ideas that we had. The photos are absolutely to die for!! She captured us perfectly and these are my favorite photos of us. She was incredibly responsive throughout the process and it was a fantastic experience!

For whatever reason, you're here on my page, and I feel SO honored to be one of the photographers you're considering to document one of the most incredible days of your life. THANK YOU. I want you to know, I do things a lil differently. My goal isn't just to document how you looked. It's to document what your love FEELS like. You know that stiff, awkward posing? Yeah. I'm so not about that. You can say bye to those cringy photos and hey to crying + laughing your head off, to dancing + snugglin up, to chasing + holding. Because those are the moments that make a life + I'm here to document your love and life how it looks and really feels.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lauren was so on top of things when it came to the actual shoot! She came prepared with anything we may need - safety pins, bobby pins, a blanket to set on so my dress wouldn't get dirty, and even feminine products!! She already had poses in mind for us to do and knew what would look good and what wouldn't, but she also encouraged us to be ourselves and caught the most beautiful candid moments. She took into consideration that we wanted pictures up close of us as well as further out to capture the beauty of our surroundings. She made us feel comfortable and there was never an awkward moment. She is so sweet, thoughtful and talented!! The pictures turned out SO so great and I'm more than happy with the results. I would 10/10 recommend Lauren to anyone as their wedding photographer as well as a photographer for other occasions! She is by far the BEST!!

Viva Por Ti Photography

Pawtucket, RI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Madera, 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.

Where do I even begin. I met Dominque almost a year ago. I was looking for a photographer for our (now husband and I) wedding shower. I met with a couple photographers and reviewed their portfolios. I was drown to Dominque’s work. The warm touch is a favorite of mine. Then I met her via zoom and that’s when the search ended. Instantly we connected with her vibe and excitement. We hired her on the spot. She was amazing at the shower. Making sure she hit everyone on the list we credited together for the shots. After receiving her photos (incredibly fast) from our shower we were blown away in the beauty she captured behind the lens. To say we were obsessed would be an understatement. We then decided to hire her for our destination wedding approx 6 months later in Saint Lucia. She was amazing leading up to the date. Meetings with me to go over ideas, set up wedding day timelines and even coming up with additional photo sessions we could create during the wedding week. She was more than a photographer she wanted to do more and she exceeded all expectations. To say the least she became a blessing throughout this process. Leading up to our destination wedding Dominque became more of a friend with how she makes you feel as she is capturing your day in the best way. If that wasn’t already the best we received all our photos from the wedding, sunrise shoot, boat shoot and a mini boudoir session in the ocean. All we can say is we were blown away. The photos … breathtaking. As I’ve already told her. She’s stuck with us. She’s officially our family photographer. I highly recommend Dominique. You can see the glow behind her lens and it shows in her work.

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Will & capturing the humanity of moments is what fuels me. The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture! More of what it FEELS like not just what it looks like. Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

My husband and I got married at the beginning of December, right in the middle of Pandemic crises and another round of shutdowns. Will was extremely flexible with our schedule & helped me with planning throughout the whole process! I may have changed my plan 10 times and each time he agreed without any issues. Will took the most beautiful pictures of us and most importantly he had the best attitude! We are looking forward to working with him in the near future!

We help outdoorsy lovers get married in beautiful outdoor venues provided by Mother Nature herself. Our couples have the wedding of their lifetime doing things that matter to them with their closest family and friends. We create inexpensive intimate ceremonies in expansive settings in the woods, river canyons, mountain ridges, deserts, or beaches. We give couples an opportunity to create their own ceremonies and trail-blaze their own traditions as they begin their Forever Endeavor Together. And we document it all with stunning, bold, crystal clear photographs that are a reverie both in nature and love.

Awarded Best of Zola
When My Wiiiiife and I hired Natural Unions, we expected photography. What we Didn't expect was light wedding planning, the ability for The Great Kira: Destroyer of Frowns to be able to help us locate an alternative wedding venue on short notice due to potential weather issues, AND for such exceptional local scouting for the most fantastic locations not only for portraits, but also the ceremony location itself. If you want the same boring overpriced stuff, hire someone else. If you want more fun than you bargained for, and unique lasting snapshots of your special day, hire Natural Unions.

David was amazing at our wedding! He was fun, outgoing, and made all of us, specially me, very comfortable throughout the day. David provided us a nice timeline that really helped me be less stress (I'm very picky) and he was more than willing to meet several times prior to our wedding date. I absolutely loved that he was very transparent before, on, and after our wedding and I can't say that for the rest of the vendors. I highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for an awesome photographer!

We are so thankful for him and Ashley for their skill, time, and effort to make sure we loved our photos.

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!

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding day was the most important day of our lives (thus far). We placed a lot of value in having quality photography for our big day, and Mel did not disappoint! Having Melissa capture our wedding was THE best decision we made when planning our day. Mel is a dream to work with. She brings the talent, insight, boss energy, and the party! She was super easy to coordinate and communicate with and took out the anxiety provoking part of having pictures taken of yourself (and even made it enjoyable!). Her work is incredible and speaks for itself. We were blown away by the final product and are immensely grateful for how these memories were captured. Many of the photos are proudly displayed in our home. We are glad to call Mel a friend and would highly recommend MCP for all your photography needs.

Hello Rad People, My Name is Taylor, I am based out of Golden, Colorado. I am a huge animal lover. We have 2 dogs ,2 cats. Plus, Carl our bearded dragon. So, please bring all the animals to your session or event! I have always loved nature and the outdoors. We do a lot of hiking and camping in the beautiful Mountains. My passion for photography started at a young age, I started doing film Photography and developing my own photos before I even picked up a digital camera. I never thought that my love for photography would turn into my career, where I get to photograph people in love in the places they love. Now let’s get Wild!

Awarded Best of Zola
So first off, the first things I asked her were; are you LGBT friendly, can you handle my anxiety, and can you photograph fat people?? Her answer was yes to all....and she exceeded my expectations. I do not talk much nor do I speak my mind ever, but I felt immediately comfortable with Taylor the second I saw her. Prior to that actually because we had texted a lot. She’s very hands-on. I booked her almost a year ago it feels like, but because of covid and other things out of our control we had to reschedule multiple times. Taylor was SO accommodating every single time. She never seemed bothered by us even though I guarantee she had to be. We are a hot mess! We changed the location multiple times, including TWO DAYS before the ceremony, I was late to my own elopement and on the way there my daughter spilled make up all over her clothes so we had to turn around for an outfit change!! Taylor was so kind and friendly. We told her in the beginning that mine and my wife’s height difference was an insecurity of ours and she made the angles work to where we didn’t look that far off at all. I’m telling you this, I have never been confident at all, I have never even liked the pictures other photographers have taken of me.....I cried when I saw Taylor’s pictures. I felt so beautiful and worthy of good photos!! I HIGHLY recommend her and will forever cherish everything she’s done. I was so uneasy about picking a photographer, it was so stressful because I’m from out of state and I knew nothing about Colorado or anything. I’m blessed to have found Taylor, she gave me everything I wanted and more!! Every single time I travel back to CO I will always have he take our photos!! Thank you so much for giving us this Taylor, we appreciate you more than you know!!

SUGAR RUSH ! WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT 2 PEOPLE WHO CAPTURED ME AND MY HUSBANDS SPECIAL DAY SO PERFECTLY? I MET LYNDI WHEN SHE SHOT ME AND MY SISTERS SENIOR PICTURES . I LOVED THE IMAGES SO MUCH I KNEW WHO I WANTED TO SHOOT MY WEDDING ! 2 YEARS LATER I WAS ENGAGED AND ME AND JORD TALKED WITH ROB AND LYNDI AT A FAMILY MEMBERS WEDDING THEY WERE SHOOTING . WE KNEW AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH THEM THEY WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR US . IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO VIBE WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER / VIDEOGRAPHER SO YOU CAN REALLY EXPLAIN WHAT YOU WANT AND THEY CAN READ YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND PUT THAT FEELING INTO THE FINISHED PRODUCT. I FELL IN LOVE WITH ROBS WORK WHEN I SAW THE FIRST LOOK VIDEO HE HAD DONE FOR THIS FAMILY WEDDING . A FEW WEEKS LATER ME AND JORD DECIDED ‘ HEY LET’S GET MARRIED IN HAWAII CAUSE WHY NOT?! ‘ ….AND LET’S HAVE ROB AND LYNDI COME WITH US ! LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY! FROM OUR ENGAGEMENTS AND LOVE STORY VIDEO TO THE FIRST LOOK AND RECEPTION ,WE ARE IN LOVE WITH THE WAY OUR LOVE WAS CAPTURED. WE WANTED TO USE THE SAME PHOTO/VIDEO PEOPLE THROUGHOUT OUR EXPERIENCE TO ENSURE THE COVERAGE FLOWED NICELY TOGETHER . WE ALSO WANTED TO DO OUR DESTINATION WEDDING WITH PEOPLE WE TRUSTED . WE FLEW PEOPLE OUT WHO WE HAD A CONNECTION WITH, RATHER THAN FIND SOMEONE NEW ON THE ISLAND, AND WE ARE SO HAPPY WE DID IT THAT WAY! ROB AND LYNDI WERE INCREDIBLE TO WORK WITH THEY ARE SO TALENTED BUT ALSO SO FUN TO BE AROUND. THEY MAKE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED AND RECORDED A BETTER EXPERIENCE . I THINK THE BEST PART ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE WITH SUGAR RUSH IS HOW THEY PERFECTLY CAPTURED ME AND MY HUSBANDS RELATIONSHIP AND THE FEELING OF OUR WEDDING DAY. THEY TRULY GOT THE ESSENCE OF WHO WE ARE AND THAT MEANS SO MUCH ! ONE LAST THING . YOU WILL NEVER REGRET GETTING A WEDDING VIDEO DONE . EVER ! A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT VIDEO IS AND HOW MUCH YOU WILL WANT ONE AFTER THE DAY IS OVER . TO ME MY WEDDING VIDEO IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS MY PHOTOS . I GET TO RELIVE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE ANYTIME I WANT AND I CRY EVERY TIME I WATCH IT. PHOTO CAPTURES THE INDIVIDUAL MOMENTS AND VIDEO CAPTURES THE ENTIRE DAY. THEY ARE BOTH ESSENTIAL AND ROB AND LYNDI WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! WE LOVE SUGAR RUSH AND EVERYTHING THEY DO ! THANK YOU ROB AND LYNDI! LOVE, YOUR HAWAII COUPLE JOJO & LOLO

Timeless and beautiful. My now husband and I are so awkward in photos and Alisa Sue made us feel so natural and comfortable. I truly hate pictures and getting my picture taken and she was by my side every step of the way cheering me on. There is no one else you should book with, besides Alisa Sue!

Seattle, WA
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Madera, CA for additional fees

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.

Seriously where to begin with how incredible Marla is as an incredible and artistic photographer, professional and organized business owner, and welcoming and beautiful person. She immediately makes you feel comfortable talking with her and she puts a ton of effort into getting to know you and your story. She cares so deeply about her couples and goes above and beyond with client experience before, during, and after your session with her. You spend a ton of time with your photographer, and this is who you want as your cheerleader, your confidant, and your friend on wedding/elopement day. Her eye for light is inspiring and you never again will say "I'm so awkward in front of the camera" because her posing is effortless and genuine. She brings out the best in you and your partner and your connection. Candid moments, deep emotion, and joyful forever memories! Marla is the photographer you've been looking for!

Welcome to our creative world! We are David and Katie, a photo and video dynamic duo from the peach state. But, we are more than just visual storytellers. We want to get to know you and build a friendship that extends beyond our lens. Our goal is to capture genuine memories that you'll cherish for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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!

I connected with Chamblee through a wedding we both worked. I'm a florist and always appreciate not only a great photographer but also one that communicates well so I don't feel like I'm a bother. Chamblee lenette photography was the perfect balance of both! I contacted her to introduce myself and then she took the reigns in continuing the communication and getting me access to the photos that could not only highlight her work but show off mine as well! I would gladly work with her again:).

We're a dynamic team of two who are passionate about capturing every magical moment of your special day. From the first glance to the final kiss, we're dedicated to immortalizing the joy, love, and laughter that fills the air on your wedding day. With a keen eye for detail and a knack for storytelling, we strive to create timeless images and films that you'll cherish for a lifetime. But it's not just about the shots we take- it's about the connections we make. We believe that the best memories are made when you're having fun, and that's why we're committed to capturing those moments that will last a lifetime!

Booking New Era Photography was the easiest and best decision my husband and I made for our elopement. Elsie is ("is" -present tense, because she still is even after providing outstanding service) extremely easy to reach and talk to. She had asked us to create a pinterest board when we booked her and months later, on our elopement day, she is diligently referencing the board and ensuring we get the shots we wanted. To be honest, the adrenaline of the big day (and lack of a full meal) had my mind up in the clouds, so looking back I am SO grateful Elsie was on it. Additionally, she is just the kindest person ever! She made us feel so comfortable and confident in our "poses". She also got sneak peaks over to us even earlier than she had quoted; and there wasn't one I didn't like. Look no further - New Era Photography is what you need!

Hi, we’re Chris and Audrey! A husband and wife photographer-videographer duo located in sunny Pompano Beach, South Florida who loves to travel the world. His Light & Co. was first born out of a desire to share God's love with couples as they begin a new chapter of life together. But shortly after opening our doors, we also developed a deep passion for capturing wedding films and images that are as unique as our couples’ love stories.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were referred to Chris by a friend who used him for their own wedding and had nothing but positive things to say. Well, it became immediately evident why. Upon first meeting through zoom, it was clear Chris was very personable, friendly, and attentive, and after speaking with him for only about 10-15 my fiancee and I already knew we were going to choose Chris. We have now had the opportunity to work with Chris on two separate occasions and honestly, they have been some of my favorite experiences to date. Chris is very warm and friendly, he's easy to have a conversation with but still very professional and the quality of his work has left us speechless, to be honest. I dont consider myself to be a model of any kind but when shooting with Chris he defintely makes you feel like you are the star and this is your show. We have no regrets in choosing Chris to be our photographer for one of the most important days of our lives and trust us, you wont either. He is freaking amazing and you will be able to tell right away. 10/10 recommended without question. Thank you Chris for making this experience as wonderful as you have.

Her diversity within angles and shots is amazing and she intelligently creative. Rachel is a great listener and takes everything you are envisioning into account while also taking control and weeding out any awkwardness you may feel while in front of a camera. Overall we have had several shoots with her.

Awarded Best of Zola
Becka and her team deserve 5/5 stars and all the love for how hard they worked with my husband and I throughout the pandemic.. Let’s go back all the way to the beginning of March 2020.. That’s where I met Becka for the first time.. (She met me in person, which I truly appreciated) right before well, COVID-19.. We were both a little hesitant of what was to come of this virus but it was SO early that neither one of us thought it would effect my wedding that was supposed to take place in the fall of that year.. Boy, were we in for a surprise.. Realizing in the summer that COVID-19 wasn’t going to go anywhere, we rescheduled our wedding for the following year. Unfortunately, Becka was already booked for the only day we could manage to reschedule our venue/church.. However, she saved the day by allowing her assistant photographers, Lauren & Michaela to take over… At first I was a bit nervous knowing Becka wasn’t going to be the one taking the wedding pictures (we loved our engagement photography session) but I trusted her, and I knew her standards were high so she wouldn’t just allow anyone to take the pictures under her name... And let’s just say, my husband and I were not disappointed! The assistant photographers did amazing, it even rained during the most crucial time of the wedding (in terms of photos) …The time after the ceremony! But despite this, the pictures came out absolutely stunning and our family/friends loved them.. All the details, all the unexpected “I didn’t know they captured that!” moments were there… Another thing I want to mention is the way Becka was able to help me schedule parts of the wedding and assist in the planning of when certain things are supposed to happen… As you can imagine, planning a wedding is stressful... Sometimes you don’t even know where to start! Becka helped me tackle this issue and streamline the day so it wouldn’t be as intimidating… With her schedule, I could now put together the pieces of the day and take a breath. Photos & logistics aside, everyone was also so sweet, patient and accommodating… So a big thank you to Becka, Lauren & Michaela for capturing our big day wonderfully. We will cherish these photos for a lifetime!

THERE IS A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.OUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS BOLD & CREATIVE, AIMING TO TELL STORIES AND DOCUMENT THE REAL MOMENTS. WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOOT A FEW FORMALS AND WE ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM SESSIONS.

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

Hey hey!! SO STOKED you're here! My name's Lennie! I'm based in Portland, OR but have been documenting engagements + tiny weddings all over the country since 2017. I'm a hardcore introverted enneagram 9 and am obsessed with my doggo, my husband, and all things travel!

Picking a photographer is not an easy task but once I saw Lennie's Instagram and realized she had done one of my favorite family photo shoots of my sister-in-law and her family, I knew it had to be her. After meeting her and going over wedding details I knew there wasn’t a better photographer for us out there. Lennie made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and during our engagement shoot. She had fun games to play that made for the cutest pictures. She is very responsive and quick to answer emails and was willing to do whatever she could to make sure I got everything I needed day of photographed. I truly couldn’t imagine the photos being any better and we’ve only received the sneak peek so far. Even the second shooter was super sweet and friendly. Our photos were the most important thing to us and Lennie exceeded ALL expectations, truly blew them out of the water and we are forever grateful to her and her talent! I'd post our entire engagement and wedding album if I could and I could write a book about how amazing she is!

Hi all, I’m Erin! I’m a wedding photographer based in Minneapolis but I’m always up for a destination or travel wedding/elopement. I feel my favorite images are always ones that are captured vs manufactured and embracing the true interactions between the couple, their friends and family. I LOVE love and I’ll probably cry at your wedding, all those feels get me.

Erin was absolutely wonderful to work with. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with her and were blown away by the everything she captured for us. She is professional, yet laid back and fun to work with. She made us feel totally at ease with the process. We opted for a second shooter for our wedding, and we are so glad we did! Erin and Brandon were able to capture so many candid moments from our day, and were so creative with locations and poses for our photos. We cannot speak more highly of Erin and her services, 100/10 would recommend!

Anton and Natalie were absolutely amazing to work with! I was stuck on making a wedding timeline and they took right over and sent me one to get me started! Communication leading up to the big day was frequent and helpful. On the big day, Natalie went above and beyond, holding my train, holding my drink, and stepping in and buttoning my dress when my mother wasn't able. I will forever be grateful for all of the extra things she helped with that day. The photos were excellent and had their artistic touch that makes them unique and standout photographers. They definitely have a long and successful career ahead of them.

HI! I am Anastasia (she/her), your Northern California elopement and wedding photographer and so much more. My passion for photography began when I was a child. It started as a hobby when I fell in love with photographing families and babies. Over the years I realized I adore documenting couples, in all stages of their relationships. I know they say we should specialize in one type of photography, but I am not sure I can ever do that. I love to create and I get bored with only doing one thing.

Anastasia was simply amazing to work with. She values her customers and she absolutely takes pride in her work. Anastasia was communicative with us from beginning to end and we valued Anastasia’s honest and knowledgable feedback about our venues (we ultimately dodged a bullet with our first selected venue). We were highly impressed that she provided us our sample gallery in record time! And we received our full gallery in the promised timeframe. We hope to do a couples session with her when we return the Monterey area!

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

Booking Grace was the best thing we did for our September 30th wedding (besides getting married of course). We connected instantly... and that is speaking on her bubbly, comforting, and caring personality. My husband and I have never been in front of a lens prior to engagement photos & our wedding, and after seeing our photos you would think we were SUPER MODELS (not kidding). Her work is absolutely breath taking, 99% of my wedding photos look like they came straight out of a magazine... the other 1% she caught some of the BEST, hysterical, memories that came from lots of alcohol, pizza, and the dance floor which we are very grateful for. I rate her and the team she brought 20/10 and will be booking her again, and again, and again for all major life events we want pictured forever. BOOK HER NOW!

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Having worked with Adam for the past 7 years, it is safe to say he has made the top of my vendor list for photography. Aside from offering classic, iconic and true to life wedding photography, he is simply a delight to work with. As a planner, there are two hallmarks of a great photographer (in addition, of course, to quality work) -- people skills and timing. Adam has the market cornered on both. Aside from partnering with me on crafting a quality timeline so that every shot it covered, perhaps my favorite part of working with Adam is hearing every aunt and mother-of-the-bride try to adopt him. But it doesn't stop there. Be it groomsmen, bridesmaids, or that one tricky family member, everyone drops their guard and falls in love with him before the day is done. The result is authentic and honest wedding photos that freeze those special moments in time. I don't give vendor recommendations lightly, but Adam Kent is first on my list any day of the week.

She knew how to make us laugh, it never got awkward, and the pictures turned out phenomenal! Next step was helping to outline the day of our wedding with pictures. She was really helpful in guiding our timeline of photos and making sure we were including all the photos we want. Helped with my stress levels. Then it was finally wedding day!

He shares the same love of wild adventure as I do. Together we have taken roadies through NZ, Australia, Indonesia, West Papua, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea. We have been married for almost three years now and live in Denver together in a little apartment. You can find us flipping vans into campers, bargain hunting at the local thrift store, or literally anywhere in the mountains on the weekend.

Working with Lauren has been one of my favorite parts of the wedding industry. We have probably worked over 30 weddings together and I am continually impressed by her dependability, excellence of work, and constant level of joy and enthusiasm through each wedding day. I have seen her interact with a diverse array of couples and she treats each of them uniquely and with the utmost care. I can see that she genuinely loves each couple that she works with and this sets her apart.

She’s easy to talk to, provided great direction for my fiancé who hates cameras, made it fun, and I loved the quality of the photos!

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

After doing much research, I was blessed to stumble across Katie on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her work; her photos are rarely staged, all authentic, “in the moment” candid shots. On top of her amazing work she is the most kind hearted, down the earth person. Going to our engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect. We immediately felt comfortable with Katie and never felt awkward. We had to postpone due to COVID and Katie was so easy and accommodating! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, there truly isn’t a bad shot! I recommend Katie to every one and will continue to go to her in the future for any of my photography needs :)

We’re Christiana & Daniel Bultedaob. We're a husband & wife wedding and elopement photography & Videography team based in Denver, Colorado. We met and fell in love while working together, so close proximity is all we know. And we like to use that to our advantage. We value relationship. We don’t see you as a business transaction, but as someone who we want to invest time into getting to know, and truly become friends. As wedding photographers, we see ourselves as part of your team, not just another vendor.

When it came to what we wanted in photographers for our wedding day, Christiana and Daniel went above and beyond. They truly cared about what we asked for and are so fun to be around. They took our engagement photos as well and it was such a blast. It was during that session that I knew we had made the right choice. When we received our wedding photos, my husband, family, and I could not believe how beautiful they were and how much the Bultedaobs put into making sure every shot captured the spirit of our wedding. Our photos are such a treasure. Thankful doesn't even begin to cover what we feel for finding this amazing couple to be present on our big day. We look forward to seeing them again in the future when we want professional photos of our family.

Hi Friend! If you would've asked me 7 years ago what I thought I'd be doing as a career, I would've never said photography. I always thought that an office job was the dream job for me. I have always loved taking photos & being creative, but I never thought it could be anything more than a hobby. Growing up I always felt like an outsider. I was always bigger than other girls, I was always darker & never felt pretty enough. I would look in the mirror & wonder why I didn't look like the girls at school.

Liz’s style of photography and editing was exactly what I wanted to capture our wedding, and I couldn’t be happier! I knew she would be a great choice, but her vibe exceeded my expectations. I wish I could get married again just to have her photograph it all over!

Hi! My names Marissa, and I have one of the coolest jobs around - hanging out with people on their wedding day! I love iced coffee and Jamie Fraser and spend my spare time reading or hanging out with my horse!

We had the best experience working with Marissa for our wedding! For one, she has an amazing personality - she is fun and lighthearted, so easygoing, AND also very responsible and on top of things (which I so appreciate)! For two, we had the unfortunate timing with COVID of having to postpone our wedding and our engagement shoot, and she made it super easy. She helped me many times in the planning process, from walking through the timeline, to picking out my bridesmaid dress color. Day of, she contributed so well to the fun vibe of the day, kept us on time and therefore not stressing out, and captured some AMAZING photos of us! She also captured so many awesome candids during our day, that looking back you can really see and remember how people felt, what the vibe of the day was, and the funny things that happened too (like when my friend spilled white wine on my dress and Marissa came to the rescue with napkins;)) Thank you so much Marissa!

Welcome to Taira Marie Photography, we are excited that you have found us! Take your time browsing around to learn a little bit about us and our style. We are here for you if you have any questions and are looking forward to connecting with you!

Deciding on a wedding photographer is not an easy task because you know these are once-in-a-lifetime memories to be captured, but choosing and working with Taira Marie Photography was nothing short of extraordinary. We discovered their Instagram through our Wedding venue, as they had worked together on some events and photoshoots, and I was immediately drawn to the photography style. It was completely serendipitous to find out that they had our wedding date available and hit it off with their team on our first meeting. Our package came with an engagement shoot, which gave us an opportunity to really get comfortable in front of the cameras, they turned out lovely and we realized how truly passionate Taira is about her job. The photography team worked with us to hit every "shot list" photo we wanted to get on our big day and captured the most beautiful details. Taira and Joey felt like family at our wedding and have been so good to us with their communication and professionalism. Our wedding album just arrived (hand-delivered too!) and it's amazing, I'll never forget how we felt that day because it's so wonderfully and thoroughly portrayed with their photography.

Hey! My name is Kaitlin and I love to specialize in adventurous couples and capture authentic moments. I love to give my couples an experience rather than just pictures. I edit in a romantic warm timeless way with a little artsy twist!

Kaitlin did an incredible job on our couples shoot, she made sure that we were both comfortable and totally understood each pose, she also gave space for us to just be ourselves and the photos show that level of comfort and professionalism! Kaitlin is definitely my go to photographer, she did a boudoir shoot for me about a year ago and those photos were equally amazing!!!

Hi, I'm Alexx! I grew up in San Diego and went to school in Malibu to study media production & math (I know, weird combo). Since then, I've lived in both Point Loma in SD and in West LA, so I'm always popping around all of SoCal! I absolutely adore weddings for the love, celebration, joy, and romance, so I want to make sure those are your main feelings throughout the day! What that means is I will always remain a calm presence in the chaos to help keep you grounded, but also blend into the background to give you space to just experience your day!

I don't even know where to begin. Alexx was hands down the best photographer we could have asked for. From the start she was supper communicative and within a day of inquiry, we had set up a time to chat and get acquainted. She is incredibly professional, but still super personable! We had so much fun with her at our engagement shoot, and the photos were INCREDIBLE. Her style is so organic and she makes you feel very comfortable from the start. She gave us so many tips leading up to the wedding about what to have ready for her and at what time, while still being super flexible with us if we needed to adapt. Day of with her was a breeze, too! She lead us through all of our photos and we wrapped up family photos quickly enough thanks to her that we were able to spend more time with our guests/family before the reception which was amazing! She had our previews to us within a few days and we are OBSESSED with every photo!! We cannot wait to see the full gallery :) Thank you so much for everything, Alexx!!!
