Awarded Best of Zola
“We’re so glad we chose Jason. We can’t believe how beautiful our photos are. We’re both pretty awkward people and we always look silly in photos. He was so fun and encouraging. He captured every moment beautifully. We’ve never looked so graceful in our lives. We had our wedding at a campground and he arrived early and worked with us to get pictures of our friends and families in that casual setting in our casual clothes. In these pictures and in the photos of our wedding, he made beautiful use of the scenery. He got to know us as a couple and really understood our vision. He gave detailed directions but the photos still look organic and spontaneous. He was also so kind and accessible through the whole process. We didn’t have a planner and he helped us figure out our wedding itinerary even though that was definitely not his job. He has a ton of wedding experience and it shows.”

“From our first call with F&H we have never doubted for a moment that we were making the right decision. Jen and Steve are true professionals,  they are informative, focused and phenomenal at what they do. Their creativity and eye truly wowed us, always catching the light and making every backdrop look absolutely magical. They were able to give gentle guidance to ensure that we looked our best in such important photos. They were able to put us at such ease, to the point where we forgot they were there and we got to just enjoy our moment together. Our photos turned out amazing and we had such variety to choose from.  Best of all, they provided us with a day of schedule that really helped us set expectations. Making sure all staged photos were done prior to ceremony, allowed us time to really breathe and soak in the day! We appreciate everything they did to make our day perfect and they truly captured the love and happiness of the day!  Highly recommend!!”

“Where to even begin? We had seen Nicks work through a friend on IG and loved what we saw! We first met Nick during our engagement photoshoot. Nick made us both feel so comfortable and was so easy to work with. He quickly got our vibe and how we interacted with each other- and played into with his photos. We didn’t feel like we had to give him ideas- he knew exactly what to do and how to pose us. Then for the wedding, Nick and his team are PHENOMENAL. They are the most fun team to have with you on your wedding day. My husband does not like taking photo- Nick and his team “did not make the photos feel like a chore or a hassle” instead, my husband had so much fun with nick and his team. Nick will make you feel so beautiful on your wedding day and be your biggest hype man. He also really helped us since we did not have an event planner. He helped us with an entire day of timeline and kept things super organized for us. If you’re reading this and still haven’t booked Nicholas Yee Photography, what are you doing!?”

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

“We can’t say enough good things about Seth! From the moment we booked him, he made the entire process feel so easy and stress-free. He was always available to answer our questions and made us feel so comfortable leading up to our wedding day. On the day of, Seth and Sarah were calm, fun, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. He captured all of the big moments and so many little ones that we’ll cherish forever. The moment we went through even just our sneak peaks, we were already blown away. The photos are absolutely stunning and brought us right back to our wedding day! Hiring Seth was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we couldn’t recommend him more!!”

“I have nothing but good things to say about Geoff and his colleague, Alan. Geoff from the very beginning was so responsive and accommodating. As someone planning a week worth of wedding events on their own, it was a daunting task. Geoff only served to alleviate some of that stress. Geoff captured photos for our engagment, my mehndi and haldi, as well as our Vivah Sanskar, and Christian ceremony and reception during fourth of July 2025 weekend. Each shot is so beautiful and I believe captures our love and our families so well. This will definitely not be the last time we choose to work with Geoff.”

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

“Angelica was an angel from the beginning. She is very intentional and genuine in getting to know her clients. It's clear her top priority is helping the couple curate and experience a memorable and one-of-a-kind celebration. From her cheerful spirit to her attention drawn eye, she is an amazing person to work with.

Awarded Best of Zola
“When we started planning our May 2026 wedding, we were not particularly excited about the photography aspect of the day. Posing for hundreds of tacky staged shots seemed an inevitable hurdle (especially as a very camera-awkward couple)...until we saw Christopher's portfolio. We reached out immediately when we saw what our wedding photos COULD be. While, naturally, plenty of formal shots were taken, they were quick and painless. What truly stood out was his ability to catch the right shot at the right time, capturing not only beautiful, thoughtful compositions, but also the true feel of the day, from morning prep to last dance. Upon receipt of the photos, we laughed...we cried...we "awww"d... Viewing them felt like reading a narrative, allowing us to relive our favorite day. Aside from his unparalleled expertise with a camera and editing, Christopher is also just a really, really cool guy. He answered our multitude of silly, repetitive questions, but more than that, we truly loved being able to chat and get to know him. His cool, calm presence chilled out the hectic morning of getting ready, and he was organized and professional throughout the planning process. His assistant, Kyle, was also absolutely wonderful! Go Kayfield or go home!!!”

Hi there! I’m Djaniella (or dj for short). I love storytelling, adventures, and creating connections with people. I’m attracted to a meaningful image, and being able to relive that moment in my mind. A coffee shop and an ice cream parlor is always on my list whenever I visit a new town. I love the sound of waves crashing along the shore, I love people-watching, I love basketball, I love spending time with my family, and I love good food. Thanks for visiting! Let’s work with each other :)

“Djaniella was AMAZING!! We booked her for our wedding which was 8/23/25. The package we chose included an engagement shoot, which was wonderful because we got to meet her ahead of time and make sure that we meshed well together, which of course we did because she’s just so wonderful, and those pictures blew us away already. She is so talented and so sweet. My husband and I had warned her we aren’t center of attention or photogenic people but she made sure to capture every moment and she did it so subtly that we didn’t feel like we were being swarmed by a paparazzi. She got along with our coordinator beautifully, and I actually think she enjoyed our wedding which was such an amazing feeling for us that even our vendors had a good time, even though they were working. I will be hiring her again and again and again, for all of life’s photo worthy moments. She also sent us a few photos the day after the wedding just to ensure we had something tangible before she got to edit the rest and they are beautiful. Thank you Djaniella, from the bottom of our hearts for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.”

“I knew I had made the right choice hiring Adam after our engagement shoot! He was kind, funny, and struck the perfect balance between giving direction and letting us just be ourselves. I felt so confident going into my wedding day with Adam as our photographer — but he still managed to exceed every expectation. As a bride managing chronic health issues, I woke up on the morning of my wedding not feeling my best. Adam not only captured all the essential photos and flat lays beautifully, but he also went out of his way to help with little things — like finding random items in the suite while I was a bit out of it. He stayed calm, patient, and reassuring even when we fell slightly behind schedule. Once I started feeling better, he jumped right back into action, guiding us through all of our photos — including family portraits — efficiently and effortlessly, without ever making us feel rushed. He worked with such professionalism, kindness, and ease, helping us get to the ceremony on time while still capturing every moment that mattered. We received our preview photos in record time, and I could not be happier with them. Adam’s images truly capture my husband and me in the most genuine, beautiful way.

“Chynna knows exactly how to do her job & the way she was so patient! We aren’t really big into photos, but she absolutely made us feel so comfortable! I found her on wedding wire, her editing and picture taking skills is what really made us go with her but her personality is a BONUS. She was within our budget and we couldn’t be more thankful!”

Hi, I'm Andrea! A Latina wedding photographer based in NJ/NYC, shooting both film and digital. I've spent 10 years behind a camera and 4 of those dedicated to weddings, and I still get butterflies every time. I'm part of the LGBTQI+ community and my space is safe and welcoming for all marriers, always. When I'm not making photographs, I'm crocheting, developing film in my home lab, traveling back home, or taking care of my chosen family. '•.¸♡ ♡¸.•'

“Andrea has a knack for adapting to any situation that comes up at a photography event. The things I noticed most are a keen sense of what needs to be done and how it should be approached. This is a very collaborative team oriented person who will always be in the right place when you need them. Andrea is also very decisive and does not hesitate or over-complicate things. I found Andrea to be kind, open and polite to guests and our clients. I couldn't really ask for more than that. I especially appreciated Andrea's work with the TLR camera.”

Through my documentary approach to photography, I capture authentic visual stories. Since 2014, I've travelled the world documenting not just weddings but diverse cultural events and meaningful moments across continents. I blend into the background while remaining attentive to every genuine emotion and unexpected detail. Whether an intimate ceremony in a historic venue or a celebration against a stunning international backdrop, I craft visual legacies with creativity and heart for clients who embrace what makes them distinctive.

“Ben Kelmer Studio was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first meeting, Ben and his team were open, honest, and warm in their communication, putting us at ease and helping us feel confident in their abilities. Their work is truly professional, showcasing a generous and creative approach that captured all the special moments of our day - even the small details that other photographers might have missed. Ben's keen eye and humanity shone through, both in his interactions with us and in the beautiful, timeless photos he delivered. We were so impressed and cannot recommend Ben Kelmer Studio highly enough!”
