I loved working with Abbe! I had a clear vision of what I wanted my engagement and wedding photos to look like and surpassed all of my expectations. She has a wonderful eye, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident in my poses. She was really knowledgable about the venue, was super prepared, and made sure I got all of the shots I wanted before it started to rain. She made my friends and family laugh and focus on getting every picture that I wanted. She really looks after the brides and is a great communicator.

Hi there! I’m a young and vibrant wedding photographer with four years of experience capturing love stories in all their glory. Alongside my passion for photography, I’m also a full-time videographer, which means I can bring your special moments to life in both stills and motion!

I thrive on the energy of weddings, and I’m dedicated to making your day unforgettable by blending creativity with a fun, relaxed vibe. Let’s create some magic together!

Let’s just start off by saying I wish I could rate her more than 5 stars. Maya was the BEST wedding photographer we could have asked for! There are not enough words to express my gratitude for her! She kept my entire wedding party on schedule, created BEAUTIFUL memories through her photos, and somehow also managed to make every single thing so fun! She’s personable, sweet, committed to her art, and is the absolute best hype-woman! She was so accommodating to all of our photo requests and was so intentional with each detail. I promise you, if you book her, you’ll want her to photograph every occasion for the rest of your life! We LOVE Maya Queenan!

Diaja LLC 

5.0

Philadelphia, PA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $10,000

I’ve been behind the camera for over a decade, capturing everything from high-energy fashion editorials to the quiet beauty of newborn portraits. Each experience has taught me the importance of storytelling through photography. But out of all the moments I’ve documented, I love capturing love. The way two people look at each other, the joy shared among family and friends, and the countless little details that come together to tell a bigger story. My goal is always to create images that feel genuine and effortless, reflecting not just how your day looked but how it felt. Creating photographs that you’ll cherish for years to come.

Hiring Diaja LLC was the best decision I've made in my entire indecisive life (aside from marrying my husband)! We initially planned on an intimate wedding so we only needed one shooter, but somehow it turned into a wedding bigger than we anticipated. Ceres was so patient with all the changes and my Bridezilla mood swings, (don't worry we tipped her well). We ended up having Ceres and her brother Theo capture our special day! After the stress levels subsided I was able to really relax and enjoy our wedding, but I believe having this sweet dynamic duo had a lot to do with that!

Swiger Photography 

5.0

Philadelphia, PA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000

When I went to college I knew I wanted to have a career that allowed me to work with people and so I studied Social Work and Psychology! Photography was a hobby but when my friend found her self with no photographer days before her wedding, she asked if I could shoot her day and from the first wedding I was hooked! 11 years later and I think I have the best job on the planet. I have been married to the love of my life Jordan for 6 years now and she is the extra magic in Swiger Photography. We have a lil rescue pup named Furgie and spend our free time trying new bourbons and exploring Philadelphia!

Obviously the best part of our wedding was marrying my wife (!!) but a close runner up was getting to know and work with Amanda! In addition to being an excellent photographer, she is just a charming, lovely, and warm person who is a genuine pleasure to be around. Having Amanda as our photographer felt like we had an extra friend at the wedding! She went above and beyond her professional obligations to make a comfortable atmosphere for all our guests and made a specific effort ahead of the wedding to get to know us and our preferences. During the wedding planning stages she even helped us out by giving advice on her knowledge of venues as we were looking for one and helped us figure out timings and order of events for the day of the wedding! During the cocktail hour my bustling for my dress accidentally ripped out and Amanda and her wife took it upon themselves to help me fix it alongside my wedding party members, which was so kind of them and a perfect example of the kind of person Amanda is. My wife is not terribly comfortable in front of cameras but Amanda did an excellent job of making them feel relaxed and natural as the subject of photography rather than the one behind the camera. Our wedding party members, friends, and family had nothing but positive things to say about her to us after the wedding, and we were especially impressed with her quick turnaround time on sending us previews of the wedding photos. Amanda’s assistant Rylan took the photos for our sangeet the night before our wedding and did an admirable job of adapting to the chaos of a mostly-unstructured event. He graciously accommodated unscheduled requests for family group photos even though we had initially asked him to come to capture mostly candids. When a double rainbow appeared during sunset he made sure to capture photos of us with it!

I’m a wedding, couples and family photographer. My approach goes beyond simple images; I seek to connect with your story and its essence, we love capturing those authentic moments and genuine emotions. Each session is unique! My work is personalized, creating an environment in which you can be yourself, without forced poses, only love, connection and portraits that will last forever.

I really loved the communication style of Jose Parada Weddings. In my opinion the quality of their work is so good. They made my day - one of the most important details at a wedding is the photos, and I loved them. I would choose Jose Parada Weddings again in the future for other events.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500

I'm Heidi, so nice to meet you! I am a Philadelphia wedding photographer and have been photographing weddings and engagements for more than 10 years. I am grateful to continue to do what I love! My approach on a wedding day is calm and relaxed. I am unobtrusive, yet always attentive. I have a way of putting people at ease and making them comfortable in front of the camera, creating space for couples to be themselves and have fun - this is the key to natural, beautiful images!

As someone who isn't really comfortable in front of a camera, I was shocked at how easy and fun it was to work with Heidi. She shot both our engagement session and our wedding, and both resulted in photos that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. The engagement photos came back about a week after the session, and our wedding photos took about 3.5 weeks. I was a bit nervous that being professionally photographed would take me back to sitting for high school yearbook photos, but instead it felt so natural to be there. Heidi made it easy to just be in the moment on our wedding day, and I really got to enjoy time with my husband before our ceremony - she truly made the whole thing a stress-free experience. From the moment I saw Heidi, I didn't have to make any more decisions. We felt totally at ease being led around by Heidi, partly because she got to our venue early to take shots and scout locations, and partly because she's really that capable. I'm so so happy we hired her for our day.

  • Serves Philadelphia, PA

Based in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, I’m a Philidelphia-suburb native who is a little bit quirky and a whole lot authentic. I’m a long-time photographer specializing in family and newborn photography with the occasional wedding thrown in. With a bachelor’s degree in fine art photography and more than 10 years of experience under my belt, I’ve loved being able to grow behind the lens and watching my photography style evolve throughout the years. While I’ll always have a soft spot for the whimsical, I’ve gravitated toward a more raw and authentic style.

Delaney was the absolute perfect choice for our big day! She was so prepared and flexible to deal with weather changes and some fun young flower girls and boys too. Even better, she made the non-photogenic groom and myself feel relaxed which is evident in the gorgeous shots she captured. Will absolutely be reaching out for all future photography needs!

Wow… I don’t even know where to start, but the stars literally aligned with Dani (and Jed) from Elle & Co Photography. I found Dani while scrolling bridal Facebook groups, which can be… a lot. Trying not to assume the worst from all the horror stories. I came across her and immediately knew she was it. I sent the message and crossed my fingers. Her photos were exactly the vibe we were going for. We chose to elope near Sleeping Bear Dunes for a reason… the color of the water, the fall tones, all of it. And Mother Nature gave us the most imperfectly perfect day. Wind, sand, rain… you name it. THANKFULLY we had Dani to capture it all. The amount of time, energy, and care she put into our day (and our reception back in Indy... we booked her for both) was beyond anything we expected. Her communication was top notch. She scouted, scouted, and then scouted again. Plans, backup plans, backup backup plans… which we absolutely needed. Most importantly she kept us on. time! We literally showed up to our ceremony spot and got hit with a “nope, not today” thanks to a government shutdown… even though we had permits and confirmations. But Dani already had her little hidden gem location ready to go, and it ended up being incredible. Like… better than what we had originally planned. And let’s talk about the conditions… late October on Lake Michigan, 25 mph winds, sand flying everywhere, and easily 10,000 steps trekking through dunes to chase the best views. Dani was everywhere at once making sure we got every shot. And Jed… running through sand like he trained for this moment. The two of them together are the dream team. Whatever it takes, they make it happen. They didn’t miss a single moment. From travel time to the ceremony, to the little in-between shots… even getting the perfect fall leaves shot with the Sleeping Bear Dunes sign (yes, it took a plenty of tries and yes, it was worth it). Champagne, lanterns, sparklers back at the domes… they captured all of it. And gave us just enough direction so we looked our best without ever feeling staged. And even after all of that, Dani went back and edited like crazy to balance out the fact that while we "looked fine"… we were most definitely freezing. The final photos are unreal. Our day was made by friends, family, and chosen family… and we’re so happy to add Dani and Jed to that circle. #PhotosToFriends for life!
