I hired Cruzio Photography for my wedding and was so thankful that they were so flexible and calming throughout the day. Needless to say my day didn't go as planned (Brides-if you know, you know!) but they were so flexible and direct with me, so I didn't worry that I wasn't going to get the shots I wanted. I'm a huge photo person and they understood the assignment!! Thank you Victoria and Cristian!

Christopher Ginn Photography

5.0

Wilmington, DE
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Merced, CA for additional fees

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Chis is the absolute best, he captured the beauty and emotions of our Wedding Day and truly helped to make it our dream day! Chris was amazing from the first introduction meeting, to the engagement session, prepping for the big day, spending the entire wedding day with him and his team by your side, and even after when picking prints and album options. Chris became one of our favorite people! He and my husband are practically besties at this point! His patience and guidance is so helpful throughout the process. He’s incredibly professional and communicative, and the work he provides is absolutely immaculate. Even with timeline conflicts he adapted and worked with our coordinator to adjust accordingly while giving us the time and stress free environment to enjoy our day. It absolutely poured rain on our day and they captured the beauty of a less than ideal scenario. He gave us nearly 2,000 edited and finished photos from our engagement session and our 9-hour wedding day. They’re all absolutely stunning!! It makes it difficult to narrow it down for the wedding album, but he does provide the option for a curator to build you album if you just can’t decide!

The moment I found Ms. Natalie’s photos I was caught. I loved how she captured beautiful candid moments and was able to cultivate those images into a story. Talking to her, and her vibrant and curious Artemis, was the moment I knew we were compatible. She was more than accommodating and hospitable, offering suggestions on places to adventure, eat, and stay while my husband, Josh, and I prepared to travel to NOLA for our serendipitous day! There were so many magical moments of that day and she captured them all with a click of her camera. We were beyond blessed to have found her to create a timeless story through photography for us. Thank you Natalie, for your passion, romantic vision, and extreme professionalism. Josh and I could not have asked for a better experience and day!

Foxtail Photography

5.0

Bowling Green, KY
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Merced, CA for additional fees

If you ask me, I am a self-proclaimed badass photographer that captures emotion with all its grit and magnificence. I serve authentic, vibrant couples and specialize in small, intimate weddings. I am a storyteller with not only digital photos, but also with nostalgic 35 mm film and prints. Each wedding day is special to every couple, and the bond you share with your partner - it is my job to tell that story as authentically, soulfully, and timelessly as possible. I strive to serve each of my couples with what they need for their day and to advocate for their desires: No dream is too small.

I chose Foxtail to take our family pictures, our first picture with our new baby. These were supposed to be very special photos that I was to cherish forever. Before even speaking over the phone, or getting pricing, I chose her because I LOVED her editing style. I knew she was the one. However after speaking to her over the phone my choice was 100000% solidified. So friendly, informative, flexible, creative, and open-minded. She did not bat an eye or show frustration towards me when I changed our shoot location multiple times. Our session was absolutely perfect. She makes you so comfortable in front of the camera & will even fix your hair !! and when we received our gallery, I was blown away by the quality of her work and just how beautiful our photos turned out. I highly recommend Foxtail Photography to anyone looking for photos that will capture every moment, memory, and emotion. You will not be disappointed and I promise they are worth every single penny

Hey there! I'm Lindley Wilson! It's been a huge dream of mine to become a photographer, and a dream I put off for a very long time. So one day a handful of years ago I decided to go for it, bought myself a camera, and haven't looked back since! I am an Indianapolis based wedding photographer who absolutely loves capturing and getting to be a part of so many beautiful and exciting moments in the lives of others.

Imagery by Lindley stepped in & saved the day for my wedding photography! My 2020 wedding was falling apart in the midst of the pandemic & i was left without a photographer a week before the ceremony. Lindley happened to be available for my date. She showed up & was such a calming presence, so easy to work with, so comfortable to be in front of the camera for. She documented the day so beautiful & so perfectly & had a preview for me that same night! She’s become a great friend out of it & I couldn’t be more thankful. Stunning work that I couldn’t recommend more.

Hello! I’m Savannah, the photographer behind Savannah Rose Photography. Photography started out as a fun hobby, but when I was 16 I decided to take a film class in high school and that’s when I realized “this is it”. I have been able to be a full time photographer for 8+ years. I love being able to use my passion for art and photography to help you create uniquely beautiful memories that you will enjoy for years to come. I am definitely guilty of being a bit of a perfectionist which ensures that I do everything I can to give you the best photography experience, whether it be portrait session or on your wedding day.

We have hired Savannah for all of our photography needs from our surprise proposal, engagement session, boudoir, wedding, anniversary, maternity, newborn & family! There is a reason we keep hiring her to capture such important events. She is simply the best at what she does! She captures the emotions perfectly & always delivers the best sessions! She’s great at direction poses and her editing style is always on point! She’s the only photographer we trust to always give us the pictures we want and she makes us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

We're a dynamic team of two who are passionate about capturing every magical moment of your special 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!

Hiring a Wedding Photographer is tough—I get it. You need someone who is experienced and professional enough to handle any situation. This could be a sudden downpour on your wedding day or seamlessly diffusing tense moments between separated parents during family portraits. Most importantly, they do this with grace, oftentimes without you even noticing. More importantly than the behind the scenes things, a great Wedding Photographer will handle the grandparents with charm and class, and be a little goofy with the kids to create timeless and authentic portraits of your most cherished people.

Chris is the absolute best photographer. When we planned our wedding we chose our date around when he was available, that’s how important it was to have him there. He gave us a stellar deal and brought so much energy and love to the event. You don’t even see him sometimes and he captures every joyous moment you could hope for. He makes everyone laugh and feel at ease every step of the way. Do yourself a favor and book now. You will be amazed with the results. 100 star rating.

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago.

I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

I am a New England Elopement photographer. As a hopeless romantic, moments of deep connection are my oxygen and I am made of the feels. I live for the unconventional. I will be so much more than your wedding photographer, I will be your guide, your biggest fan, and the curator of your love story— I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens as I listen to your vows. Wanderlust runs through my veins, I have made it my life’s mission to let every place I have ever been touch my heart and change the way I see the world. There is no adventure too wild or out there, the world is our oyster.

Danielle was professional, warm, and knowledgeable. She guided us through every step of our day and weathered through unexpected torrential downpours and hurricane winds all while keeping morale up for the whole wedding party! Danielle took the time to get to know what we wanted and needed from her and her intuition filled in the parts that we didn’t even know we needed. Loved Danielle, Love love love our photos, couldn’t recommend her enough!

Athena photographed our wedding for us and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Every aspect of the entire experience, from planning and booking all the way through the wedding and receiving our photo album -- everything was above and beyond our expectations. Athena is super professional but also extremely friendly and personable. She made us feel comfortable in front of the lens, and gave us all the right cues to get amazing photos. She walked us through what to expect from start to finish, helped us plan ahead to get exactly the photos we wanted, and coordinated with us on the day of the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly. We honestly could not have asked for more, and we are forever grateful to Athena for everything she did for us. We are hoping to convert Athena to a family photographer as well -- we would love to continue to have her shoot important life moments for us through the years.

Welcome to "We Do Weddings," where love meets artistry, and moments are forever preserved. We're Jared and Quinn, not just business partners, but a couple who share a deep passion for capturing the most cherished memories of your special day. Our journey into the world of wedding photography and videography began as a shared dream—a dream that brought together our love for storytelling, our appreciation for timeless elegance, and our fascination with the candid, unscripted moments that make every love story unique.

We had our engagement photos taken by We Do Weddings and had a great experience. My wife and I weren't set on a good location, but Jared and Quinn had a couple of suggestions and Freestone Park turned out perfect. They also arrived early and had a couple spots in mind to shoot at, which I really appreciated since it was a warm day and that expedited the process. The shoot was casual and surprisingly fun. They worked quickly but we never felt rushed. They gave great direction (including some pictures of what they were looking for at times) which turned out great. We just got the photos back and my wife and I were blown away. They turned out beautifully and we are so happy with them. The entire experience was a joy and the end result was exactly what we were hoping for.

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

We had the pleasure of having Tammy shoot our engagement photos, as well as our entire wedding day. As many others have stated, we would highly recommend her for not only her gorgeous photos but for her relaxed and personable style. Throughout the entire process Tammy communicated with us to be sure she was giving us exactly what we were looking for in terms of style/structure. The day of our engagement shoot, we had unexpected weather but thankfully she was flexible and responsive in moving the time for our shoot to accommodate the unexpected rain. Despite the fact it was cold and rainy, she happily worked with us to get all (plus more) of the photos we were expecting. Between both our wedding and engagement shoots, Tammy did a fantastic job working in all of the ideas we had envisioned. We had to downsize our wedding and had plenty of unexpected restrictions due to Covid but Tammy continued to help support making our day special. We would recommend Tammy to anyone looking for beautiful, candid, relaxed yet fun photos and we look forward to future opportunities of working with her!

Hi! I’m Gabriela, but you can call me Gaby! I’ve been a photographer and storyteller for more than seven years. It’s something I’ve always been passionate about… Creating Art. I know love, I know how deep it is and I can see the undeniable connection between two people. I’ve always believed we all should love WITHOUT FEAR. I want my photography to be a storytelling, natural, authentic, and timeless piece of art that reflects what’s truly there. To make love transcend the screen and make people feel it, because… Love has NO BOUNDARIES.

If you are wondering if you should hire Nexum Photography for your next event, the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES! Gabriela was our photographer for our engagement session and wedding and she was the absolute best. Since the first day we talked we understood everything, her contract was very clear and the communication since the first day was amazing. Since our wedding was a “destination wedding” we needed to do the engagement session the week of our wedding. I thought that it was going to be overwhelming but it was a pleasure. We had so much fun during our engagement session and she made it so easy. We felt so comfortable and the pictures were amazing. For our wedding she captured everything that we wanted and more. Very soon after the wedding, she sent us a lot of edited pictures. It is impossible to select our favorites because all of them are beautiful. Nexum Photography is professional, knows what she is doing, has a lot of experience, makes the process easy, is trustworthy and worth every single penny. 100% recommended!

Hannah was the wedding photographer of my dreams! She is so attentive to detail, and she is so organized. She did a lot of research beforehand into my preferences, what were important and memorable items to me, about my family, and who my husband and I are as a couple. She knew that me and my mom are artists and incorporated our art into my wedding photos, which was such a special surprise to me. She herself is an artistic genius and her photographs were more beautiful than I could have imagined. She truly captured the emotions and feelings of the day in her photographs, all done with such a great artistic eye. We had formal portraits but I did not feel like we spent hours taking formal pictures. Hannah also has the kindest heart and such a positive spirit which was such a wonderful presence on our wedding day. We also were so lucky to have her husband as our second photographer. They both truly care about their clients and worked so hard to capture every perfect moment on our wedding day. We will cherish our photographs for a lifetime.

Katie and Dejan are incredible - do yourself a favor, and book them ASAP! From our very first phone call, I instantly felt comfortable with both of them, and could tell that working together would be relaxed and fun, which was exactly what we were looking for. I could tell as soon as we met them for our engagement shoot that we made the right choice. My husband and I are both deeply awkward in front of the camera, which usually makes us very unphotogenic. Katie and Dejan helped us feel comfortable, gave us all the cues we needed to get cute poses, and we had such a great session! It was so nice being able to meet them both and work with them prior to wedding day. On the wedding day, Katie and Dejan were INCREDIBLE. They kept us on schedule, and (when we inevitably got behind because the bridal party was running late in hair and makeup), they stayed calm and collected, got us back on schedule, and never once made me feel rushed or stressed. They even got us some absolutely breathtaking preview photos literally the next day!

We love PJ, and have loved getting to know him through our wedding planning process. We now consider him a friend! When we initially started interviewing photographers, my now-husband fell in love with PJ's personality and style almost instantly (I wish I could say that is how he fell in love with me....). PJ shoots with natural lighting so beautifully and upon speaking with him over the phone...we knew he was the right fit for us. We first met PJ in person when we did our engagement shoot in September 2019. He instantly made us feel comfortable and at ease. Our photos turned our natural and were beautifully captured. He seamlessly captured our go-with-the-flow and goofy natures, love of donuts, and love of our East Bay neighborhood. Flash forward a few months....and a worldwide pandemic hits. PJ has been such a grounding force during these last few months as we changed our wedding plans again and again. PJ has been nothing but patient and accommodating for us. We finally decided on a micro-wedding in a private residence. Not going to lie, I was nervous that our photos were going to look meh-meh since our "venue" wasn't fancy. When we got our photos back, I was awe-struck. PJ really worked his magic and made everything look like it came out of a fairytale. Post-ceremony, we arranged for a golden hour newlywed shoot. Let me tell you, PJ will do ANYTHING for the shot. We climbed hills, rocks, and got into bushes. PJ is dedicated to his craft. We can't wait for PJ to come back out to shoot our postponed reception and our future family photos. We feel pretty lucky that we found a photographer we truly love and can't wait to continue to work with.

I cannot recommend Amanda/Salt Ivy Photography enough. When choosing a photographer for our wedding and for our post-wedding mountaintop shoot (instead of an engagement photoshoot), we wanted a photographer who had a unique artistic vision who produced dynamic and emotional shots. We wanted photography that really stood out and was not the run of the mill wedding photography. Most of all, we wanted photography that captured the authentic emotional connection we have and the incredible energy of our big day. When I saw Amanda's work, I knew she was the one. Not only was her work absolutely STUNNING, but she was incredible to work with. We had to change our wedding date 3 total times due to Covid... and even moved it out of state halfway through... Amanda was always flexible, understanding, accommodating and encouraging. The day of the wedding she was calm, loving, fun, and her energy really made the day even more special. Our post-wedding hike/photoshoot the next day was one of the most enjoyable parts of our entire wedding experience.

The photographer communicates with the guests to line up the photos. This has to be done with a great attitude and with professional instruction 3 - photos have to look amazing.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were immediately drawn to Rachel Stenger's photography style and tone. We loved her slightly moody yet crisp vibe. It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots. We highly recommend working with Rachel Stenger, her work is a perfect blend of artistic and realistic. Rachel and Zeb captured moments that will continue to bring a smile to our faces as the years go by. Thank you!

The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Sufia through a recommendation from another Central Florida photographer, and we're so glad that we crossed paths with her! We booked her for our small wedding in March of 2021, and shortly after that booking we had engagement photos done. She had perfect recommendations for locations that would fit us, and was also so sweet and patient with our pup that we brought along for the morning too. Even in the super humid Florida weather, we had a great time doing our session and we loved the pictures- They're hanging in our house now! Once our wedding rolled around, Sufia and her partner for the day were lovely to work with- My husband and I are both pretty introverted, but they made the environment relaxing and fun. Sufia found ways to inject little pieces of our life into the final photos, which is so special to get to look back on- Even managing to get in some fun pictures with our very young nieces and nephews, which is no small feat with so many personalities in play. I loved our experiences so much, and actually booked her again just this month for some couple photos to commemorate a personal event. Of course the logistical things are important- she's prompt, professional, and the quality of her work is wonderful- but on top of that, she's simply a great individual with a warm, kind energy, and a genuine desire to gift others with memories of their most special days. If you have the opportunity to work with her, do it!

Natalie was so sweet and easy to work with - not to mention she loves dogs, and our nervous pooch fell in love with her. Natalie is really organized and helped us finalize a timeline which made our day smooth. She fixed boutonnieres, managed our massive family photo, and even drove my husband and I from our ceremony to the reception. Having our engagement session with her also prepped us a little for what to expect. She gave us direction, and made us feel more at ease. Our ceremony was at Old Mill Park, and our couple photos in the redwoods were dreamy. She has a great eye, and the photos really were magical and timeless, with just the right amount of moodiness. She brought along a 2nd photographer, and they both caught really fun candid moments of our family and friends. She also had our photos back to us so quickly. Natalie was just super thoughtful, warm, and flexible. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, thank you, Natalie! <3

Hi, I'm Joni! I've been photographing couples for over 10 years now and I just can't seem to get enough of it! My warm, bubbly personality always seems to keep EVERYONE in good spirits throughout the wedding day! I’m a calming force when things start to get stressful and ready to keep the energy up to dance the night away together! Sometimes wedding days don't go exactly as planned. I’m extremely flexible and prepared to provide expert, judgment-free guidance to help you pivot and get right back to having the time of your life!

Joni is the most talented photographer ever! Her attention to detail is amazing. Every single photo captured was PERFECT. Her edits are so bright and colorful which I was looking for in a photographer. She is the sweetest person and so easy going. We are obsessed with our photos and I couldn't be happier!!

We can’t say enough good things about Shea. She was fun, creative and helped make our day so special. Her attention to detail is very apparent. She made sure to capture all the details we were looking for and then some.

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

Emerald Tide is everything we were looking for in a photographer. Kayla is organized, creative, very talented, and a genuinely kind human who actually cares about your wedding day. Kayla was able to transfer all of the feels of our day into beautiful and AMAZING artwork that we will have forever. Photos are so important - make sure you have a photographer that sets you up for success and is thorough like Kayla!

Mario Oliveto Photography is genuine and heavily focused on real emotions, always believing that everyone has a story. Our photography makes you feel as if you were connected with those in front of the camera. Wedding photography is capturing real, raw, emotions, in the most beautiful fine art style.

If you want to look like you belong in a magazine, book Mario! He’s as pleasant and easygoing to work with as he is talented. I’m already trying to think of other reasons to book him post wedding.

Classic meets contemporary and vibrant. Although I do all types of shoots, I specialize in wedding photography and all the beauty it has to offer. I prioritize in capturing the essential moments of your wedding to give you cherished memories to look back on for a lifetime.

There are many things I can say about Michaela and 3leafphotography but the most important is how comfortable you can be around her. She is such a kind soul and she will give you the best pictures. She’s a photo wizard and I wouldn’t have anyone else do my pictures. She knows her stuff. If you are looking for someone you can instantly connect with and feel your absolute best, you can trust her to give you that. She is an artist and like I said, I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do my pictures. I have all the confidence to tell you that she is who you want!

I am a traveling wedding, engagement, boudoir, family and portrait photographer - here to make your vision come to life. I have been a full time photographer for a little over a year now but, have been shooting for a little over five. Over the years, I have learned, grown, and perfected my craft as a photographer. I want my clients to leave our sessions feeling bold, confident, authentic, and ultimately having a blast while doing it. Posing for photos can only get us so far, so I create an environment for those genuine, raw, candid moments.

Kennedy is my go to photographer for everything. She is so much fun! She has taken my daughter's photos and my family photos for the past few years. Kennedy always gets so many good pictures! She is a pro! I would definitely recommend Kennedy Miller everyday of the week.

My portfolio is a canvas that dances with diversity – a rich tapestry woven from both film and digital techniques. Embracing new trends and technologies, I blend the nostalgic allure of film with the precision of digital artistry, resulting in a mesmerizing fusion that speaks to the modern soul. Whether it's the classic charm of analog or the cutting-edge allure of pixels, my work resonates with a richness that only true connoisseurs can appreciate.

I worked with Anna more than once and she always happy, friendly and professional. Her attention to details is crazy! Photos are always great and true to color! Love her work!

I began, 2017; ‘Editorial Fashion’ working with modeling agencies. Then doing my 1st wedding by request in Taiwan for a Luxury Editorial style wedding. I completely fell in love with wedding imagery and the process that all goes into the experience. From there ‘I’ became ‘we’ as my team grew. Having refined our Luxury Editorial Image over the years!

Britney was helpful in several ways, I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without her! She over delivered! The end results are amazing, literally could not have found a better photographer and group to be there to capture my wedding day. Highly recommend talking with Britney.
