My photo style is very documentary-oriented, highlighting those genuine, candid moments as they unfold, uninterrupted. I approach the day by aiming to capture not just how a moment looked, but really the way that it felt. I want you to look at your wedding photos and be able to remember the conversation with your sister that made you laugh that hard, and the look in your mom's eye that made you tear up as she zips your wedding dress. Those moments are my bread and butter. While I'm more than happy to offer some prompts and posing tips during couples portraits, I'm honestly most interested in what your day would look like if I weren’t there.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a few recommendations for photographers, but when we came across Emily’s work on Zola and Instagram, we were instantly captivated. Her portfolio showcased not only her incredible talent but also her genuine passion for photography. From the start, Emily’s professionalism shone through. We’re a couple that doesn’t take photos very often, but she made us feel completely comfortable, and her natural ability to capture candid moments is unmatched. Emily has an exceptional eye for getting a variety of poses and using the scenery to create stunning images, and her artistic vision truly brought our engagement and wedding photos to life. Our wedding party was fairly large, but Emily handled it with so much patience, calling out names and groupings effortlessly to get every arrangement we had requested. Her second shooter, Wilson, was also a fantastic addition, honestly being a life saver for helping the groomsmen with their boutonnieres and capturing some key moments throughout the day. On our wedding day, Emily was the only vendor with us from start to finish, and she was a joy to work with. She collaborated seamlessly with our videographer, made sure we got in a few breathtaking sunset photos, and captured every detail of our wedding in a beautiful visual story. It truly feels like we’re reliving the day every time we look at her photos. From our initial call to the delivery of sneak peeks just a couple of days after the wedding, Emily was on top of everything. Her communication, even in the months leading up to the wedding via email, was excellent. Her photography packages had transparent pricing and clear deliverables, and she communicated everything with perfect clarity. I would 100000% recommend her to anyone. My husband even mentioned he hopes we have another reason to hire her in the future. Emily is a true professional with impeccable creativity and skill, and we can’t wait to see what she does next.

I am a photographer who looks for the extraordinary and artistic angles in each portrait session or wedding. I make artwork for your home while documenting authentic moments. I am inspired by emotions, intimate moments, and the way the light captures a feeling. I pause to observe life and stay in tune with my spiritual side. I hope this shows in my work, as I enjoy making others feel comfortable and good about themselves. I enjoy capturing connection, love, and happiness in each wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose Heather off of her portfolio and because she was a recommended vendor from our venue. We could not have made a better choice. Not only are the photos so gorgeous, she went above and beyond and photographed longer than she had been booked so that my grandmother could have photos of some of our Pakistani wedding traditions (like the shoe stealing and my henna). All of our guests raved about her, and her candid shots were such a hit that I had people texting me for the link to buy off her website. Heather is truly a master of her craft and a wonderful and kind person to work with.

For modern romantics who want to remember how it felt - and where awkward photos go to die + Hey, I’m Emily — a wedding photographer based in Lancaster, PA, serving Philly, New Jersey, and beyond. I photograph wildly-in-love, creative, sometimes-nerdy, always-authentic couples who care more about connection than perfection. My work blends true-to-color edits with rich, cinematic tones, and I shoot on both digital and 35mm film to bring a little texture, nostalgia, and realness to every gallery. Here for the fandom infused love stories, Tolkien inspired decor, grand editorial vibes...whatever is true to you.

My husband and I booked Emily for our May 24, 2025, wedding, and it was the best decision we ever made. From the initial communication, we knew that Emily was the perfect match. You can sense her compassion, care, and creativity from the first call, and she did a fantastic job of being available and keeping us informed. We had a lovely engagement session the previous October, where we had the most fun with our two dogs. Emily was warm, inviting, kind, and incredibly fun to work with for the whole shoot. When the wedding day came around, Emily and her assistant were professional, engaged, and felt like they were actually a part of the wedding rather than people just snapping photos. She even picked up my nephew and photographed with the other hand while he was being crazy! Wrangling family members is hard enough, but that was incredible. One important thing that I asked for was lots of photos of my grandmother. She made sure to capture many sweet and beautiful photos of my grandmother that truly reflect who she is. Just a few months after she got sick, those photos allow us to always see her as her beautiful, happy, lively self. Words cannot describe how much this means to my whole family. Choosing your wedding photographer was one of the most significant decisions we made for the wedding. We spent less time looking for almost every other vendor, but the photographer was crucial. I can say a million nice things about Emily and her work, but that would not do her any justice. I can feel the love that comes from the photos she took. I see my friends, family, and the love of my life in their beautiful, natural form. These are the photos that my future children, grandchildren, and so on will see and it's exactly what I hoped for. Thank you for all the love and effort you put into our photos, Emily. I can't wait to work with you many times more times.

I'm the photographer who is about the change the way you think about photos! I'm a girl doing what I love most- making you feel like the queen you are, and providing something beautiful and timeless in the process. I created Photodelphia to be able to make a living doing what I love!

If you're looking for someone to dance and sing Chappell Roan with, then you're in the right place!

If I could give Harley more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the moment she arrived on my wedding day, she was not just a photographer—she was the glue that held everything together. She kept the energy high, the vibes perfect, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once, capturing every single special moment while also stepping in to help in ways I didn’t even know a photographer could! Whether it was adjusting my dress, hyping me up when I needed it most, making us laugh, or making sure we stayed on schedule, Harley went above and beyond in every possible way. And let’s talk about the photos—WOW. I am absolutely in love with every single one. I look at them every day, and somehow, I keep discovering new favorites! She has such an eye for capturing the most genuine, emotional, and joyful moments. Every photo brings me right back to the best day of my life, and I couldn’t be more grateful. But the best part? With Harley, you don’t just get a photographer—you gain a lifelong friend. I already know we’ll be using her for every family milestone to come. If you’re looking for someone who will not only deliver breathtaking photos but also be your biggest supporter, your problem-solver, and your personal hype woman, Harley is the one. Book her now—you won’t regret it!

My love of photography started when I realized the happiness photographs can bring to other people, even strangers. To have the ability to capture a moment and the opportunity to catch emotions all with a single click is empowering. Whether its an intimate moment at a wedding, a subtle reaction of a newborn, or just taking life's details and turning them into art, all facets of photography appeal to me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before our wedding, I asked my brother-in-law and sister what they thought we should splurge on. Without hesitation, they both said: photography. They had made the mistake of not prioritizing their photographer—of not finding someone they truly trusted—and they regretted it. When you’re spending so much on a wedding, a good photographer essentially protects your investment. So we made it our mission to find someone we felt confident in—someone fairly priced, artistic, and capable of capturing both candid moments and beautifully composed shots. David is all of that and more. We were getting married out of state and couldn’t even meet him in person beforehand. We had to trust him based solely on a Zoom call—and from that first conversation, we just knew he was the guy. He exudes passion, authenticity, calm, and professionalism. My wife was anxious on our wedding day, and David became a source of comfort, reassurance, and steadiness. He’s everything you want in a photographer. What’s brilliant about David’s work is that every shot feels distinct. He has an incredible eye for composition, capturing surreal, artistic moments with real depth and warmth. His photos allow us to relive the day—especially the moments we didn’t get to fully experience in the chaos. It’s honestly hard to believe how consistent he is. With most professional photographers, you sift through a huge album to find your favorites. With David, every photo is captivating. I also have to mention his patience—especially when we spontaneously asked him to do an offsite photoshoot the night of the wedding… on the beach… in the rain. He didn’t hesitate. That shoot ended up being one of our absolute favorite memories. Not only did we get magazine-worthy photos, but David’s presence helped us come down from the buzz of the day. We laughed, had fun, and genuinely enjoyed the moment—and it shows in the pictures. David’s passion is contagious. He genuinely cares about his art and about giving his clients the best experience possible. Weddings can become routine for vendors, but David made us feel like our day mattered to him too. We truly plan to keep in touch—for anniversaries, milestones, and beyond.

Hi, I am a multi-cultural wedding photographer, with a taste for bold and vibrant imagery, authentic moments and a dash of glamor. Emotions drive my passion for the art form, and human connections guide me. Born and raised in another hemisphere, I have traveled since. Everywhere I went, my camera allowed me to capture the story behind the people I met & the cultures I observed. I bring the same drive to my wedding photography, where every couple, every family, and all the cultures and traditions I come across, have a different story to tell, and I have the privilege to witness and capture it all!

My fiancé and I worked with Abhi Sarkar Photography for our engagement photos, and it was truly the most amazing experience we could have asked for! From the moment we started, Abhi made us feel so comfortable. He had us laughing, helped guide us through every pose, and captured the love between us so naturally. When we saw our photos, we were completely blown away. Every angle, every moment, and every picture was beautiful, more than we could have asked for! Abhi was professional, on time, and made sure our photos were ready in a timely manner. We couldn't be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Abhi Sarkar Photography to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares about capturing special moments. Thank you, Abhi, for making our engagement session so fun and memorable! We can't wait to work with you again!

I’m Maria, an experienced wedding photographer specializing in multicultural and Western celebrations. As a child, I developed a passion for the arts and culture that only continued to grow with me. After studying photography in college, I decided to pursue wedding photography and have never looked back. I’ve found this path to be more fulfilling than I ever imagined possible, and have settled into my photojournalistic style over the years. I love photographing moments that unfold spontaneously. If you’re looking to capture your love in a way that feels authentic and creative, I’m here for you.

Maria was absolutely amazing to work with through every part of the process and I have absolutely no regrets. I wanted my wedding pictures to be soft and colorful and warm, and I could tell from her portfolio that she was able to make these beautiful scenes in almost any location. I was hard for me to find a photographer so was able to work with us to accommodate a packed 18 hours wedding day with two ceremonies and a reception, but Maria had lots of experience with Indian weddings and inter-cultural weddings so it was so easy to come to an agreement! When we first met with her over Zoom, my now husband and I expressed that we were a little concerned about how well we would come across on camera, since I usually feel awkward. But during our engagement session, Maria was so fun and gave clear direction so we ended up not only with some beautiful engagement pics, but also having a great time! On the day of the wedding, her team was so professional, prepared and funny! They were great at having us relax and have fun in the moments even with a busy schedule. They were also ready with a camera at all times and were able to catch pictures of so many quick moments during the Hindu ceremony. They found great locations to take pictures in front of, and the pictures turned out so amazing I can't even believe them! Maria even hand sewed part of my sleeve ruffle back on when it popped off just before the ceremony without hesitation. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and team, and I would happily work with her again for any future big life events :) Take a look at the photos if you want the proof!

Emily was beyond helpful long before the day of our wedding. She took our engagement photos (and extra photos with our dogs), helped figure out our timeline, and talked through how things might feel the day of. When the wedding day came around, Emily exuded a confidence that made us feel at ease on what could have been a hectic day. If anything went wrong, we had no clue. She also picked an amazing second shooter (Cauanne) to make sure we didn't miss any memories. Emily helped us be in the right spots at the right time and had no problem rounding up our entire families for big group pictures. Her editing feels special, too.

Cheryl was absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with for our wedding, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to book a photographer. She was very communicative and professional throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding. We did a walk through of the venue with her before the day, and were able to plan out different spots and review the general flow. On the wedding day, she was extremely direct and clear with how she wanted us to pose. This was helpful because there was no confusion or guessing about what to do. She was also very efficient with moving through all the family shots. She called out exactly who was needed for which photos, which made it easy and quick to follow. For the rest of the night, she blended in seamlessly and interacted with the rest of the guests really well. I even had a couple of guests mention how kind she was and how she really made them feel comfortable with the camera. After the wedding, Cheryl turned around our full gallery incredibly quickly, and the quality just blew us away. Because of her, we have incredible photos that we love for the rest of our lives. Cheryl is a true talent and someone you do not want to miss working with!

I'm a documentarian and a storyteller at heart. I capture the most real and authentic moments I can, big or small, loud or quiet. I especially love catching moments that the couple might never get to witness except in their wedding photos. I'm based in Philly, but I'm always up for an adventure, especially one that takes me away from home.

Tracie is always my first choice for a photography colleague. She's magical--she knows where she needs to be, what to pay attention to, how I like to tell a story, and how to be an all around amazing, caring, personable human being. Her extensive background in news photojournalism gives her the ability to blend in with any crowd and has honed her visual storytelling skills. Above all, she is ethical and compassionate when approaching her subjects, and understands how to make anyone feel comfortable and cared for. Her images are always of the highest quality as well as artistic, and I know she will be able to roll with the punches with things go haywire--as they often do with live events. I would hire her in a heartbeat, and have relied on her for local and travel weddings for over a decade.

My husband and I are not at all used to being photographed and we're a little nervous but Lexy knew how keep it stress free to get the best photos while making it a fun experience for us. The photos she took are absolutely amazing from the posed moments with family to the ceremony and reception and everything in between she truly captured it all. Lexy has a way of being there to capture the really special moments without you even knowing. Lexy photographed little moments we would have missed being so busy if she hadn't carefully preserved them for us.

We got the preview photos extremely quickly and the rest not long after and are overjoyed with the quality and quantity of memories we have of our wedding because it really does go by as quickly as everyone tells you. Time lines communicated for delivery were completely accurate and she made sure to keep us updated on estimated dates we would be get the final photographs.

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

From the very first wedding that Jess and I worked together, I knew I had found "the one." Photographing alongside other artists typically comes with some growing pains, however working with Jess was effortless from the beginning. She has a talent, creative eye, and sensitivity that is unparalleled. Her ability to create beautiful images while gracefully navigating complex dynamics and stressful moments on a wedding day makes her a magician in my eyes. I continue to learn something from her every time we're together. Highly recommend.

I'm in the business of telling stories and capturing authentic moments. I believe the best photographs are the ones that stay true to you. The snorting, the inside jokes, and unique moments only you and your partner understand. SGW Photography is a black-owned, woman-owned wedding and portraits photographer serving Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Greater Delaware Valley. I also travel Worldwide (and did!) I am in the business of telling stories through a lens and capturing feelings with a photograph. I want to capture it as genuinely as possible true to life. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, right?

Sabrina, owner and photographer, at SGW was our photographer for our wedding this past June. We couldn’t be happier with her work. For all of the couples who work with her, she suggests an engagement shoot so they can get a feel for her style. It’s an added bonus and it helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and working with her especially on the wedding day. Overall, she’s dedicated to her craft and it shows in everything she does. She’s not a run of the mill wedding photographer. She has a keen artistic eye and exceptional talent. Not to mention she was responsive, professional, and detail-oriented throughout the entire process. When we saw our wedding pictures, my husband and I were absolutely blown away. We know these are the types of pictures that will be in the family for generations ️. All of that to say, hire her as your wedding photographer because she’s amazing!!

Hello, and welcome! Nick here, and I first wanted to stay thank you for taking the time to check out my work, and I look forward to the opportunity to capture your wedding day! My approach to your wedding day coverage is more of a documentation of genuine moments between you, your partner, friends, and family. Specializing in a photojournalistic style, I'm on the hunt for those natural smiles, tears of joy, and most importantly, finding you and your partner lost in the moment. I also strive for a clean and timeless look, focusing on composition, and I'm not afraid to give direction when needed.

I highly recommend Nick for all your photography needs! Nick was our photographer for both engagement photos and wedding and he did a fantastic job. The photos came back flawless and we were able to get them back in a very reasonable time frame. He worked within our busy schedule for photos and was super easy and prompt with communications. Nick (and his day of partner Becca) was professional and easy to work with and the joy and passion he has for photography certainly shows. We plan on using him for future needs.

Weddings are each as unique as the couples that plan them. I set out to artfully document your day rich in love and community as authentically as I can while supporting you how you need. I'll be your cheerleader when needed, and a fly on the wall when not.

Mandy photographed my wedding and engagement shoot a few years back and did an amazing job! For my engagement shoot, she captured many, very sweet moments of my partner, and I cooking breakfast together and taking a walk around our neighborhood. It all felt very natural and she helped us feel comfortable and have fun. She also did a really wonderful job shooting my wedding. Mandy has a real knack for photographing small and intimate moments. Her photographs capture exactly how it felt to be at my wedding.
