I have a very photojournalistic approach to a wedding day — I want to capture all of the beautiful, loving, silly and fun moments as they unfold with warmth and honesty. When it comes to portraits, I love to get more editorial and incorporate bits of what makes you, you (as a couple) with the surrounding light, nature and architecture. Most importantly, when you look back at your photos I want you to remember how it felt.

  • Starts at $5,750
  • Serves Monterey, CA for additional fees

Moments. Details. Emotions. These are the things that define you, your life and your most important events. How do you want to remember them? My approach is to be as non-invasive and invisible as possible. The less you know I am there, the more reality I am able to capture. I do not want to be a director. I want to be an observer; a documentarian; most importantly, a story teller. Each moment in your life builds a story. That story deserves to be relived and passed on. i want to help you remember those moments, those details, those emotions that make up your life.

Ben Ingram Visuals

Santa Cruz, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,250

The best way to describe my work is a mix of National Geographic and GQ/Vogue. I love to focus on the story telling aspect of wedding photography as I capture your day (think photo journalism meets fine art), but am always ready to jump in and pose you and your partner for those magazine style cover shots. Have you ever seen the movie Talladega Nights with Will Ferrell? There is a scene where he awkwardly holds his hands in front of the camera. Yea, that is pretty much all of us. Im there to keep those hands from looking awkward and making the two of you feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera.

I have to say the easiest part of a wedding during COVID was Ben. He was so awesome to work with, went above and beyond and gained customers for life, not only with out immediate family but extended family and friends as well. You will not be disappointed in Ben. Our dreams came true due to his shots

Trung Hoang Photography

5.0

South San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Monterey, CA

My name is Trung, the head honcho at this eponymously named company. My name is pronounced “Troon”, which sounds like spoon, so ignore those other letters that make life complicated. I've been a photographer for close to 10 years, photographing things big and small, far and wide. It's pretty incredible how impactful and valuable a split second image of a given time, place, person, or object can mean to a person. Whether it's a photograph of someone you love or a place you'd love to be, photographs spark memories or inspire the pursuit of new ones and that's why I love it.

Trung was an amazing photographer to work with, and the easiest of our vendors to work with. He and his wife, who typically shoots with Trung, came to the venue to tour it with us and get a feel for the area. His communication and organization are top notch. Most importantly for my wife who is camera-shy, Trung is great at making people feel comfortable around a camera, and directing poses and looks that he thought would be nice. As a hobbyist photographer, some things I really appreciated about him are he is someone who is completely ok with you taking the digital files he gives you and editing them yourself, which some photographers do not allow. He also takes amazing landscape photos, and brings those skills and artistic sensibilities into his editing and wedding photography. We later (about a year later) asked Trung to put together a wedding album for us which he gladly did, going through 4 iterations with us. I also asked for one of the photos to be edited slightly different to fit the rest of the page which Trung was happy to do for us. Other things about Trung: 1) Punctual 2) Flexible (our wedding ended up running behind and suffered a blackout at the venue, both of which he took in stride) 3) Captures great photos, posed and candid! My wife and I would hire Trung again in a heartbeat! We still keep in touch with him more than a year post wedding if that helps to show you how great of a guy he is.

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

Caroline is such a talented photographer and I have been so fortunate to get to know her over last few years. Her work gives such an intimate glimpse into couples and families that she photographs and her edits feel nostalgic, warm and natural! On top of that she has a heart of gold, so honestly, you cannot go wrong. Book her!

I can't recommend Reflect Studios enough!

I loved how authentic the photos were and they seemed to capture the moment instead of just "pose here and pose there" if you know what I mean! I wanted our photos to feel like US and that's exactly what we got! We had a primary shooter and a secondary shooter at our wedding since we had over 100 guests and I was so happy we did! We got so many amazing candid shots of our friends and family. Highly recommend!

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We are so grateful that we stumbled upon Meaghan and Brendon during our vendor search. From our first virtual meeting to the wedding day, we feel like we gained two new friends! After we decided to choose them for our big day, they sent us the most thoughtful box of goodies (even including sand and shells from the beach we got married on!). They sent us business cards for other vendors in the area and such a nice note. After that, they reached out periodically to check in, and helped us with a perfect timeline for our wedding day. Fast forward to our wedding day, they made us feel SO comfortable and were insanely creative/artistic. We had a small wedding, where every guest noticed how great they were! We were in awe over our photos (which we also received very quickly) and will cherish them forever. I would choose them again in a heartbeat!

Hey! I'm Christina: a 25 year old Georgia native dreaming of living somewhere that gets more than 0.25 inches of snow a year. If I was a book character I’d definitely be Anne of Green Gables. I thrive on adventure, nostalgia, and meaningful connections. And in the spirit of full transparency, I'm also a major goof with a sarcastic sense of humor.

Ahhhh....Christina! Where to begin? There are two things you need to know; 1.) Christina is ammmmaaazzzzing! 2.) We (+ALL our family and friends) are OBSESSED with our wedding photos! From our initial conversation, Christina was interested in understanding what we wanted for our wedding day and how we wanted the photography experience to feel. Also, not sure who was more excited about our day - us or her! She was friendly, upbeat, so enthusiastic and emotionally invested in photographing our wedding, that we couldn't get over it! We felt so lucky to find her. So grateful, yet it didn't stop there. We eloped to Tybee Island, GA and continued to celebrate (and take more photos!) in Savannah. Since we were eloping, pictures of the day were really important to us so we could share the experience with family and friends back home. And man, did Christina nail it!! From the moment she arrived, we felt like we had known Christina our whole lives. Even though we had only met her on Zoom calls, it wasn't awkward at all. She has such a calming, even keeled presence. The consummate professional, she just stepped right in and got to work right away setting up incredible shots. I remember feeling so confident in her! And also feeling like, "she's got this!" When we received our first set of initial pictures, we were absolutely bowled over! I mean shocked! To this day, I cannot get over how beautiful our photos are. Christina’s unobtrusive presence and keen eye captured every single detail! She not only made it fun, but she even captured intimate moments that we could not have imagined and otherwise would have missed! Also, somehow she managed to accomplish all of this without us feeling as if we were being watched or photographed. We recommend Christina Moon of Luna Legacies Photography without hesitation! And honestly, could not imagine our day without her!

Authenticity focused visual Storyteller for those who've found their one wedding photography services based in Hyde Park, NY, look to Erin Braden Photography for your big day. This business combines experience, artistry & professionalism.

I met Erin 2 years ago when I booked a boudoir session for myself and my husband. It was such an amazing experience; Erin's studio is beautiful, and she made me feel 100% comfortable. Her work is absolutely amazing, and you can tell she loves what she does. Everyone I shared these photos with were amazed at how beautiful the photos came out and needless to say my husband was very happy. A few months after I did another boudoir session with Erin for one of her promotional projects which I could not turn down. These sessions are just so fun an empowering, I was so touched she asked me to be a part of this and it definitely won't be the last time I do it either! My wedding was the following year and of course I needed to ask Erin to be our photographer. Erin & Ben did our engagement session that we used for our invites, and I will cherish this forever. Erin & Ben make a great team and really capture the moment. Our Wedding as a bit hectic and Erin & Ben were great at handling the chaos and my annoying family very well. Again, our photos came out absolutely perfect, they all are timeless and priceless pieces. Seriously, if you want great photos and to work with great people, its Erin. I cant wait to continue to work with Erin for years to come!

Hey there! I am Elizabeth, the owner & head photographer of Elizabeth Yanna Photography. I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

Elizabeth was a pleasure to work with. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable, and that shines through in the photos. We are obsessed with how our wedding pictures turned out. She’s the best!

Hey, I'm Larissa! (The tiny chick behind the camera probably bossing you around)I am a wedding, portrait and fine art photographer currently based in North-Eastern, Pennsylvania but I love to travel near and far. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I am a huge believer that laughter is a cure-all. My little Shih-Tzu, Hope, is an extension of myself and one of my favorite cuddle buddies. I am an adventurer at heart with an incurable case of wanderlust. Car rides at sunset, rainy Sundays, curling up with a book, lattes and heart-to-hearts, and soul soothing music. I'm here for it.

Life is full of little moments that all add up to make one big story. The story of YOU. These little moments are the ones that matter the most, and the ones that you can look back on with a smile. On your wedding day, these moments unfold into the story of one of the most important days of your life. From the tears streaming down your face as you embrace your mom before the ceremony, to the goofy smile that your partner gives you after shoving cake into your face, to the feeling as you drive off newly married with the love of your life, feeling like you could shout from the highest mountain or sing at the top of your lungs.

Hannah was the easiest person to work with! She’s got a great personality and her work speaks for itself! Her editing style is why I chose her, very natural! She will capture your day flawlessly :)

Hi, I'm Bridget and I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Upstate New York. I'm always searching for a love story to tell and an adventure to experience - combining the two is what I am all about! Every couple's story is unique and beautiful and I am so honored that you have considered me to document your best day!

Bridget and Mark are absolutely amazing. I was really struggling to find a photographer and Bridget came highly recommended by my wedding coordinator. As soon as we spoke, Bridget calmed all my nerves. We first met at our engagement shoot and it was wonderful. Bridget met us at Chimney Bluffs State Park and gave us something to do. We went for a walk and built a fire. The resulting photos were stunning. Fast forward to our wedding day and again Bridget and Mark we amazing. Calming nerves, blending in and capturing the most perfect moments. Photography is an investment and really the only thing, besides your memories that carries on the day. Bridget is worth every penny and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
