I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
Edgar is the best! He was fun to be around and up for anything. He traveled hours to meet us and even went on a pretty buggy/muddy hike to capture the most incredible photos. We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset! We can't wait to see him again next June for our wedding, and have so much faith that he will hit it out of the park again!

  • Serves Mercedes, TX

Love is a wild ride, just like your wedding day will surely be. Soak it up, it’s going to move fast and be filled with magic. My work is to document all of it, with a little finessing here and there. Your wedding photos will mean more to you as time passes and thus my goal is to create graceful, timeless images of you and your loved ones. As a wedding photographer, I am emotion-focused. My job is to capture all the smiles, the tears, the laughs, and the romance of the day in its entirety.

Awarded Best of Zola
I would give Linka 20 stars if I could. She is incredibly talented and the entire process was so smooth. I originally saw some of her photos while researching elopement locations on Reddit. New Orleans had been on our list and the photos sealed the deal! She responded to me right away and scheduled a phone call to see if we were a good fit. She also sent us questions to answer about us as a couple, what we were comfortable with, and what exactly we wanted out of our day. The day of the wedding went perfectly. Linka and Eyoel had us walk around the neighborhood after our ceremony and got so many cool shots that we never would have thought of. We couldn’t have asked for better pictures of our elopement! Also, she’s really, really cool.

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Fox & Fig Photography for our wedding, their communication was phenomenal and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Their work is simply gorgeous - exactly the style we were looking for to capture our special day. On the wedding day, they made both my husband and I feel at ease, even though we are a bit awkward in front of the camera. They provided excellent guidance on posing and helped us look our best. Fox & Fig was incredibly supportive and patient with us as a nervous couple. We are thrilled with the sneak peeks of our photos and can’t wait for the whole product! I can NOT recommend Fox & Fig enough.

LoveSnaps Photography was a great choice for our wedding photography. While they weren't the quickest to respond at times, likely due to their busy schedule, they were truly amazing at what they do.

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Mercedes, TX

I graduated with a degree in photography but the most important thing I gained from college was a group of friends I can call on for a mental health check. I'm "the baby" of a very large Mexican-Puerto Rican family. I'm a traveler and lover of experiencing cultures and food. My passion for people and their stories has been the drive behind my business. While photography has taken over much of my life other things that bring me joy are summer BBQs with my very large family, a cocktail by the pool or planning our next vacation. I enjoy having conversations that go deep - those that make up the story of who we are today.

Yes, Yaz will get all the photos mom and dad want for the wall - but her specialty is getting even the most awkward couples to look relaxed and natural in photos through out the day. She has there hilarious prompts to get them to laugh and just look happy! Yaz is fun and thorough, and that's the combo you need when investing in a wedding photographer!!

Hi, I’m Jen El-Haddad, owner and lead photographer of Jennifer Mary Collective — a dual-city photography brand based in Baltimore, MD and Charleston, SC. I specialize in wedding and branding photography that celebrates connection, color, and storytelling. My love for photography started young — with a Polaroid sticker camera and a stack of disposable film rolls. What began as a childhood obsession grew into a lifelong passion for capturing emotion and artistry in every frame. I’m a curly-headed, Old Bay-loving, caffeine-dependent Marylander with a soft spot for Southern charm (and a colorful Lilly Pulitzer print or two).

I worked with Karim for the first time last summer, as a videographer I have worked with a lot of photographers. It is not always easy to connect with photographers, but Karim was very easy to work with. He was great with posing everyone in the wedding and he was really accommodating to my job. He was very easy going, great person, and everybody in that wedding really loved him. After that wedding, whenever I get a wedding and they still don't have a photographer, I always recommend him.

Wedding Photographer with 5 years experience in weddings, 8+ in photography. I am comfortable following either directive - whether posed or candid is a priority and vibe pursued by the couple. I can be very attentive for candid moments or help lead in planning and staging certain concepts. I am not a purist of "all candid" or a stickler for planning every single thing, I find my comfort zone ultimately in how the couple wants to see their big day portrayed. Their vision to me is paramount.

I'm Meghan Ann Imagery! I'm an wedding storyteller and lover of love. I offer photography and videography services for elopements, micro weddings, and traditional weddings. Based in Alaska and servicing the PNW and New England.

Meghan Ann Imagery LLC was the perfect choice for our wedding photography.

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.

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.

We contacted Laura right after our engagement to get information about her pricing. She was very quick to send us information and included everything we would need for the engagement pictures to the wedding. Our engagement picture day, Laura made sure we had fun and knew the exact spots to get the perfect picture. She was professional, but spunky and fun. On our wedding day, Laura took the pictures and Shayne was the videographer. They work absolutely flawless together and never missed a beat. If Laura was not able to be somewhere, Shayne was there with the video camera and pictures were taken from the video to add to our special day. They were both very accommodating to all of our changes/needs and went with the flow of the day to help eliminate any additional stress. We love our pictures and our video from our special day and are so thankful we were able to find Laura Elizabeth Photography to help us relive those moments.

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.

BOLDY CRAFTED PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THE FEARLESS. Hey y'all! I'm Ellie! I'm an advocate for all things love, acceptance, and happy. I've been taking photos and running my business for the last eight years and it's the driving force of my life. I'm a ginormous music lover, bit of a baker, reader, and I religiously sing very badly in my car.

Ellie did our engagement photos and our small wedding as well!! Pictures from both are beautiful! Ellie was awesome to work with, super responsive, and easy going with our humongous family and crazy dog. We got our photos back pretty quick with beautiful edits! Photo quality is amazing when printed on canvas or photos. I recommend her to all of our friends and I look forward to documenting future milestones with her!
