We got married on August 2025, and had the pleasure of working with Aimee Tursky. Prior to our wedding, we spoke on the phone regarding what we wanted (photo ideas) - under the veil, bubbles, a VERY specific group shot, and a game day photo. Aimee DELIVERED. She exceeded all of our expectations, and we are still receiving compliments on our photos, including statements about how they are "Bridal Magazine" worthy. Reflections Media made the booking process easy, and Danielle was available through every step for any questions or concerns. My husband and I couldn't recommend Reflections Media PA, and Aimee enough. We are so pleased on how our photos turned out. I'd also like to add it took about 3 weeks for us to get our edited photos back.

I started working as a photographer because I'm passionate about helping people showcase who they are and what they have to offer. I work to remove myself from the equation and let my clients take the spotlight. It's thrilling to jump into a session and come out on the other side having learned beautiful new things about a person. When behind the camera I'm coaching you ever step of the way - helping you feel comfortable enough to let your true self emerge.

Working with Michael Haller was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! He did such an incredible job capturing all the raw emotion and beautiful moments from our wedding day. He made the whole process super comfortable and fun and had so many creative ideas. Michael is extremely talented and worked diligently to get my husband and I our photos in a timely manner. First he did a mini sneak peak, then a larger sneak peak and then the full album. He did a fantastic job staying in communication to inform us when we would receive each batch of photos. His attention to detail and professionalism made working with him an incredible experience!

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

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!

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!

Swiger Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Amanda and Jordan were incredibly communicative and responsive leading up to the big day, and their professionalism and attention to detail was unmatched. I've worked with Amanda for 5 years and her photography speaks for itself - it's beautiful work every single time. Swiger Photography truly went above and beyond to capture all the special moments of our wedding day, and we are thrilled with the stunning photos they delivered. I absolutely adore Swiger Photography and all the work they have done for me the past 5 years!

Hi, I’m Louise! I'm a Philly based photographer offering weddings, engagements, portraits, and more. As a trans woman, I create affirming, accessible photography experiences where everyone is welcome, especially queer and trans people. Community, mutual care, and joyful representation are at the heart of what I do.

If I could give more stars, I would. Louise was amazing to work with and we couldn’t be more excited about our photos! It was truly important to us as a Filipino-American and lesbian couple to find photographers we felt comfortable being ourselves in front of. We aren’t used to taking a lot of pictures in general, and definitely not professional photographs. But Louise made us and our bridal parties feel so comfortable and natural the whole time. It could not have been a more perfect fit and now we can’t imagine our day without her there! As one of the brides, one of my core memories from that day was getting ready with my girls in my bridal suite and feeling nervous. Louise talked with us, and I felt like she was just another friend in the room that I’ve known a long time. Little did she know how much her down to earth energy helped me in preparation for the day. Our families and guests love the photos and have commented several times how great the photographers were and how natural it felt, even being photographed on the dance floor. She captured every moment perfectly and seriously delivered on wonderful photos showing our queer love and the support from our loved ones. We are very appreciative of how her artistry is reflected in each photo captured. If you’re reading this and are unsure of who pick for a photographer, go with Louise Caddy and you will not be disappointed!

  • 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.

She is always available, which is a huge plus. She’s also very professional, punctual and reliable. Also, I don’t have to wait for my pictures for weeks. However, most importantly the pictures always turn out great. I would definitely recommend Asel to all my friends

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.

We had the pleasure of working with Delaney for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Delaney is incredibly talented, so personable and easy to work with. She has a knack for making her clients feel comfortable, which is essential on the most important day of their lives.

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!
