Her unparalleled passion for her work and attention to detail set her apart, ensuring that every image reflects the true essence of your love story. Alicia and her team ensure your experience is as flawless as your photos. She works from the heart, pouring love and dedication into every shot, to provide you with an unparalleled wedding photography experience.

“Working alongside Alicia Parks Photography this summer was an absolute pleasure. Alicia is not only highly professional and prepared, but genuinely respectful to everyone involved in the event. That respect for fellow vendors is often overlooked, yet it plays a major role in how smoothly a wedding day unfolds. As a bride or client searching for vendors, this should honestly be a standard question to ask: How do you view and work with your peers? Most wedding professionals are meeting for the very first time on the wedding day, yet we’re expected to immediately function as a unified team. Alicia truly embodies this cooperative spirit. She approaches the day with collaboration and kindness, making communication seamless, transitions effortless, and the overall atmosphere calm and positive. That unity doesn’t stay behind the scenes—it carries through to the guests. Much like walking into a restaurant where the staff clearly enjoys working together, the experience simply feels better. I would gladly work with Alicia again and highly recommend her to couples who value not only beautiful photography, but a thoughtful, collaborative, and seamless wedding day experience.”

I'm Amy, chief picture taker, head editor, dubious web designer, and volunteer animal hugger at Amy Little Photography. Work is always fun because I'm never far from snacks and never close to snakes. Taking pretty pictures is easy. But documenting the honest, emotionally raw, and laugh-out-loud, because you didn't know that happened pictures is where I really shine. Photographing hundreds of weddings has deepened my joy of authentic storytelling. It's also been a catalyst for my cake addiction so I hope you're cool with being an enabler.

“When I was looking at photographer portfolios, what I paid attention to most was how they captured candids. Could the joy, love, and excitement of the days shine through? Literally no one could compete with Amy Little there! She has an incredible talent for capturing the sweet moments that make a wedding special. Then I talked to her, and we instantly vibed. She even made my fiance lighten up and feel comfortable -- a herculean task! On top of that, she made us look and feel stunning. She taught us two awkward penguins how to model and let our true selves show on film. I still don't know how she did it! And on the day of, she not only was solving problems like a boss, she turned her creative eye into some jawdroppingly beautiful creative pictures in the rain.

You don’t have to choose between meaningful portraits and actually spending time with your guests. I photograph weddings for couples who value being present with the people they love, while still making time for portraits together. With thoughtful pacing and smart use of natural light, there’s time for both. My approach blends joyful, editorial-style portraits with candid coverage, guided in a way that feels calm and unobtrusive. Outside of winter weddings, there’s usually more flexibility than couples expect, allowing space for portraits and time to enjoy cocktail hour, dinner, and the moments that matter most.

Even with the delay, she was able to finish the family pictures, our couples pics, and the wedding party AND still managed to get us to the reception ON TIME!

My love for photography sparked from a deeply personal place—watching my children grow up way too quickly and wanting to capture those fleeting moments before they slipped away. This journey turned into a passionate calling, and now, I look to bring a documentary and cinematic style to every session I have with my clients. As a quiet queer and a loud LGBTQIA+ advocate—everyone is welcome in front of my lens. My priority is creating a safe space for my clients where they feel they can express themselves freely so I can capture the uniqueness that makes them - them.

“I can’t recommend Aubrey enough! I had a very small, intimate wedding, and the only thing I wanted to splurge on was my wedding pictures. I was lucky enough to find Aubrey’s page on Instagram, her pictures were incredible. I showed my now, husband her work, and we both knew she was the one. We said YES! I hate taking pictures because I feel like I never look good. It’s stopped me from having photos of special moments to look back on, which I knew couldn’t happen on my wedding day. When I tell you Aubrey made me feel like the prettiest woman on my special day, it’s not enough. I will be forever grateful for her and her magic! She is so sweet, and upon meeting her, it feels like you’ve known her forever. You will not regret booking with her, she will now be my designated photographer for any special occasion.

We knew as soon as we looked at her gallery that Lisa was the perfect choice for our tastes, and the photos she took for us matched the aesthetics and skill in her gallery completely! We've both been addicted to looking at them ever since. Book Lisa for your wedding - you won't regret it!”

“Russ was an absolute dream to work with. Fun, friendly, great at sorting all the details beforehand and an absolute star on the day. The photos were stunning – we'd initially questioned whether we would even bother with a photographer, but after working with Russ, I can tell you, it is 200% worth it. Me and my husband have never looked so good in a photo in our lives (and likely never will again...). Russ perfectly balanced being a fly on the wall when it mattered (during the ceremony, etc), with giving us some much needed guidance for fun group shots and portraits. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Book him now!!”

Welcome! We are Lauren and Jamie, a creatively driven photography duo deeply passionate about capturing the magic of your special day. We believe in celebrating all love and take pride in beautifully documenting your unique story. As down-to-earth artists, we are in this business purely for the genuine, unscripted moments that make your wedding day unforgettable. We love hearing about the incredible wedding plans our clients are dreaming up and turning those visions into lifelong memories.

“I started looking for photographers after realizing that our nighttime, entirely virtual ceremony (thanks Covid) wouldn't be conducive to good photos and booked her for wedding portraits before the ceremony. After having gotten our pictures back, I'm am so happy and relieved I trusted my gut with them. Not only did Lauren scout out and help us find locations that would work in our extremely limited time frame (I can't say enough about how awesome she was for finding spots based on our desired background + helping us find niche parking spots on google maps), but she made us feel so comfortable and confident. Throughout the photoshoot she was exceedingly positive and encouraging, and my husband and I left feeling like rockstars. She paid attention to our good/bad angles - she kept directing us to do things during the shoot (like crack jokes, switch sides, etc) that saved us from our less photogenic tendencies. She was also highly professional, diffusing a couple of awkward situations with people in our shoot locations and setting a timer to make sure we got back to start our ceremony on time. The pictures largely speak for themselves though. My husband and I are notoriously bad at having photos taken and I was really nervous about having only a few good ones to choose from. I'm still surprised that I've only been able to narrow my favorites down to 80 pictures! I loved the types of shots she took, which were a great blend of up-close moments and landscape shots. I also had a few "props", like a bouquet and dupatta, and she was great at figuring out when to add/remove them from a shot. I feel like the editing style is good balance of modern and classic, and I have no worries about these pictures aging badly. I could go on forever, but coming from a person who was sincerely worried that she was incapable of having a good photo taken, I can't recommend Eichar photography highly enough”

“Daniel Neal Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Daniel’s communication was timely, offering helpful advice in a succinct yet friendly manner. On the day of our wedding, he seamlessly blended into the background, capturing ethereal moments that beautifully reflected the love and emotion of our special day. As a DIY bride without a planner, he helped set realistic schedule expectations and put us at ease, so much so that we hardly noticed he was there - except when he made us smile or laugh with his warm, personable approach. The final photos were absolutely stunning, showcasing the loving, intimate feel of our celebration in a way that truly exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the exceptional service and value provided by Daniel Neal Photography.”

Hi there, my friends call me Nate. I am a portrait, wedding and event photographer that's known for being easy to work with due to my laid back nature. Getting the shots is everything, but we don't have to break a sweat over it! It all started in 2022 when I agreed to shooting my cousins wedding, I was able to take all of the knowledge I had gained over the years (photography/service industry) and deliver a beautiful set of images that we can cherish forever. Allow me to do the same for you!

“I hired Nate to take photos for a rehearsal dinner event and he exceeded my expectations! It's very clear he has an amazing eye for photography, how to play and work with difficult lighting, and how to capture people in a candid natural setting. My guests even noted how they couldn't even tell there was a photographer there because Nate blended into the crowd and didn't make people feel awkward about their photos being taken. The final edits on the photos show Nate's further talent and I was blown away!”
