Whether you are throwing a massive get together with all of your friends and family, or putting together a smaller, more intimate wedding day, no day will come close in comparison. I have always loved capturing weddings in a documentary fashion. I don't do super posed photos but instead I like to capture moments as they happen. I don't lay out intricate patterns with bobbins, ribbon and invitations, but instead photograph the small details in their true and simplistic form.

It’s not enough to simply take beautiful photos of people in epic scenery and bring forth their personalities. Nearly every photographer can do that these days. What I think matters most is being an mirror, a witness to people’s small and big moments in their lives and capturing those for them. I want to capture moments and photos that mean something to my clients throughout their lives- the photos they hang on their walls to bring them joy when they are going through a tough time and the photos that bring them comfort at the funerals of their loved ones.

Alyssa has a wicked talent! She's also just an awesome person. You'll love the interaction AND your final photos. I easily recommend her to my couples who are looking for a real pro.

When I’m not with my golden retriever, Rigley, (which is always, since I’m a work-from-home dog mom) adventuring to a new Arizona destination, finding my next favorite taco shop, or trying a new workout, you’ll probably find me in some pretty desert location third-wheeling with super-in-love couples and loving every second of capturing it!

I had a destination wedding so my go to on finding vendors was instagram. As soon as I stumbled on Briquelle’s page I just knew I wanted her take our photos! Her work is so beautiful and matched my aesthetic so well. We had never done any kind of professional photos together and she was great at telling us what to do, to get the best shots and not look awkward. She did our engagement and wedding photos and I’m so in love with all them! She also just started offering videography in her packages as well and we were so lucky to get in on it! It was so beautifully done and captured our day perfectly. Briquelle and her team are hands down the best!

Your wedding isn’t one dimensional, nor should your photos. I believe a great wedding gallery walk the balance between candid and editorial. I know when to step in with direction for stunning shots and when to step back, letting the moment unfold naturally to capture its raw beauty, creating wedding gallery that feel both artfully composed and authentically real.

Escape Party Planning had the privilege of working with Sam at a client’s wedding in their beautiful upscale estate! Sam was such a great energy to have around my clients! As the Event Coordinator, Sam kept me in the loop and informed as to what he needed to give my clients the best shots! I loved that he was comfortable to vouch for his clients in a professional and friendly way. As a result, the entire album is nothing short of spectacular! Would absolutely love to have him at any of our events in the future!

Mesa, AZ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500

I'm based out of North Dakota & Arizona but will travel anywhere that your love takes me. I've loved taking photos and anything that involved any form or art ever since I was a little girl. I have an amazing husband of almost 5 years and 3 big wonderful pups. I love to travel, hike, spending days at my local coffee shops and nights at breweries in town.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Dana Maruna and her second shooter, Brie, capture our wedding in Minot, ND, in August 2023. From the moment we first connected with Dana, her exceptional communication skills shone through. She was responsive, attentive, and took the time to understand our vision and preferences, making the planning process a breeze. Dana's professionalism and organization put us at ease, and we knew we were in capable hands. Brie, the second shooter, was equally amazing. Their collaborative work ensured no moment was missed, adding depth and variety to our photos. It was evident that both Dana and Brie were dedicated to providing the best possible service, working seamlessly together. What set Dana apart was her offering of film photography, which added a unique and timeless quality to our wedding photos. We can't wait to see the results, and even though we don't have our full gallery back, we have so much trust that it's going to be wonderful. Dana is not only skilled but also passionate about preserving memories in an artistic and meaningful way. Despite living in NYC, we were lucky to have found Dana for our Minot wedding, and her talent made the distance a non-issue. Additionally, Dana and Brie are the creators of Roam Collective, an educational platform for wedding photographers. They conduct workshops all over the country, showcasing their commitment to advancing the art of wedding photography and giving back to the community. But it's not just about professionalism—Dana has become more than our wedding photographer; she's now a dear friend. This personal connection added an extra layer of warmth and comfort to the entire photography experience. It's truly special to not only have had Dana and Brie document our wedding but also to continue building a lasting friendship with Dana. Their genuine care and personal touch make them stand out as more than just professionals but as people who genuinely care about their clients and their stories. In sum, we couldn't be happier with our choice of Dana Maruna as our wedding photographer. Her exceptional communication, talent, dedication to her craft, and educational initiatives through Roam Collective make her and Brie remarkable individuals in the wedding photography industry. They have not only captured our special day beautifully but have also become cherished friends in the process. We highly recommend Dana and Brie to anyone seeking not only photographers but also dedicated professionals and friends. Thank you, Dana and Brie, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable, and we have complete trust that our full gallery will be just as wonderful as the journey to it.

I’m Kirstin! An emotionally driven, film-forward wedding photographer based in the desert Southwest. I work with wildly-in-love couples who want their wedding to feel like them: artful, offbeat, deeply intentional. I photograph elopements and micro-weddings with a storytelling lens- capturing not just how your day looked, but how it felt. My work blends digital + 35mm film to preserve the honest, unposed, heart-full moments in all their textured, tear-filled, windswept beauty. My couples tend to be nostalgic, a little nontraditional, and full of feeling. If that’s you- you’re in the right place.

Awarded Best of Zola
We met Kristin at a June 2025 wedding where we provided the flowers, and we were blown away by her work. Her photos are stunning - full of emotion, joy, and all the little in-between moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. She has such a gift for capturing the real feel of the day. As someone who works with a lot of wedding vendors, I can honestly say Kristin is a true gem. If you want memories that feel timeless and beautiful, she’s the one. Wholeheartedly recommend - 10/10!

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids.

I photograph with the understanding that one day, these images will become part of a family’s most treasured history. Long after the day has passed, they will hold the light, the emotion, and the quiet beauty that words cannot. My approach is rooted in presence—observing with care, honoring what unfolds naturally, and preserving the fleeting moments that often matter most. I believe photographs should do more than document how things looked; they should return you to how it felt to be there, surrounded by love, meaning, and connection.

Awarded Best of Zola
Planning a wedding on your own can be a stressful and intimidating process. You would think picking a photographer would be a hard decision but if you’ve seen MyKenzie’s work, you would know it’s the easiest decision I made throughout my whole wedding planning process. I’ll never forget how special she made our day. Leading up to our wedding day, she was always super responsive and helpful with my questions, along with timeline of the photos I wanted. The day of, she was on time and really made the photos so much fun and special. She is super creative on poses, I had no idea what poses I wanted so I left it up to her and she blew us away and made it so beautiful. Our day would not have been that special without her. If you are looking for a photographer, she’s your gal!

My gift with the camera is capturing the beauty of the moment. I love telling stories through pictures to keep memories alive, using the click of a shutter to make time stand still. I was inspired to become a photographer when I was young, before the days of digital cameras and cell phones. My eye for photography was first developed along side film, and this fascination set me off to see what I could do with light and lenses. The images you see today are the results of my long, passionate love affair with the camera, developed by life's most precious resource: time.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mary made my proposal literally perfect. She was extremely professional, and communication was easy. She pretended to be a tourist taking photographs and played the part perfectly. Then, when we started taking actual photos, she was very well prepared and guided us through all different poses. My now fiance was so pleased and happy. Of the photos that she has shared with us, the edits are incredible. A few friends said “this is actually the coolest photo I have ever seen”. Thanks Mary!

Morgan is an exceptional photographer with so much talent and care for her craft. From day one, she was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and organized. Working with her was so easy and straightforward. She told us exactly what she needed from us, and she was always prompt with her communication. We loved working with Morgan for so many reasons, but her thoughtfulness, sincerity, and flexibility are particular memorable. Especially with all the chaos that comes with the wedding, it was refreshing to have Morgan be in charge of our photos, because she kept a cool demeanor and was easy going, but prescriptive. Beyond her professionalism and personality, my family, friends, and I are absolutely stunned by how beautiful our photos came out. The photos were creative while maintaining timeless elegance. Morgan's expertise with outdoor photography was perfect for our venue because we had a lot of natural sunlight come through our space since we had a lot of windows. I truly cannot express how thankful I am that Morgan was our photographer. I wish we could have another vent just to have her do more photography for us! Her turn around time was extremely reasonable as well!
