Eduardo was AMAZING!! From the moment we booked him till receiving our photos. The communication was direct and to the point which is what we loved. During our wedding he was extremely personable and made us feel comfortable and reminded us to just be in the moment. He really went above and beyond during wedding day. In receiving our pictures, we were even more impressed and so happy with how they turned out. We feel it’s important to have someone you can build trust and connect quickly in such an important day and that’s Eduardo. We are fortunate that we went with blackhatstudio for our wedding photos.

Diana and Isiah truly made our elopement one of the most incredible days of our lives. From the very first meeting, Diana and Isiah were nothing but helpful, responsive, and patient. We decided shortly before the wedding that we wanted to have night shots. Diana was able to provide us with some examples of her previous night shoots and helped us pick out the perfect location. The entire planning process was significantly easier with Diana’s assistance. She also checked in just enough to ensure we were feeling ready for the big day. Isiah was able to help us decide all of the big details for our ceremony and made it feel uniquely us. On the big day, we were so thankful for Diana and Isiah. As soon as they arrived for the getting-ready photos, my stress disappeared. Diana took all the shots that we wanted and was a true professional in setting everything up. Isaiah was our officiant and did an amazing job During and after our actual ceremony, both Diana and Isiah were lifesavers. Diana was able to get photos that weren’t overly posed and really felt like us as a couple. Isiah did an amazing job with our ceremony and was also there to assist with everything else, from helping us up steep rocks to carrying items for the photos. We are so thankful we went with Love and Latitudes for our elopement. We can’t sing their praise enough, and would pick them again in a heartbeat.

Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming professional in 2017, my journey has taken me across the United States and around the world, where I've had the privilege of serving more than 200 couples on their special day. My approach to photography stands apart from traditional documentary styles. I focus on the natural colors and rich content of each moment, striving to highlight real-time emotions through thoughtful lighting and composition. My goal is to celebrate the unique narrative of every couple by capturing their happiness and love story with a distinct light-and-airy perspective.

Steven was the photographer for my wedding last April. It was so easy working with him during the entire process. He would tell us what to do during our prewedding photoshoots, so we didn't have to worry about it. The photos came out exactly how we expected them to be. Steven is very nice, funny, and responsive. Whatever questions I had, I could just text, email, or call him. More importantly, he pays attention to DETAILS! A lot of times, he would help me or my wife to fix our hair, clothes, or anything else to help capture a perfect photo. On the wedding day, I had nothing to worry about because I trusted Steven completely. Overall, it was a great experience working with Steven. Both my wife and I are very happy that we chose him. I will easily recommend Steven to my friends and family.

Intertwine Films is a photo + video team capturing weddings as they actually unfold. Real moments, real energy, zero forced vibes. We focus on connection over perfection, movement over posing, and stories that feel lived-in, emotional, and timeless. If it felt big to you, it matters to us.

Our wedding photo & video experience with the Intertwine Films team was incredible from start to finish. From day one, everything felt easy, organized, and intentional. The team showed up prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and offered guidance that made it clear they truly knew their craft, and cared about getting it right. Communication was always on point. Bryan were quick to respond, kept us in the loop, and really took the time to understand our vision for both our engagement session and wedding day. On the day itself, they were calm, confident, and totally in control, in the best way. Nothing ever felt rushed. When it came to group shots, they struck the perfect balance of assertive and friendly, making sure everyone felt comfortable, included, and relaxed. And the final work? Ahhh I can't even!!! Absolute we're hoping for! Every photo and film we’ve seen is beautifully composed, full of emotion, especially the b&w. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend Intertwine Films to anyone looking for a photo & video team that brings great energy, professionalism and heart to what they do.

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

Hiring Kseni was one of the absolute BEST decisions we made for our wedding. From the beginning, Kseni was so attentive to what I wanted — every shot I hoped for, they got… and then somehow captured even more moments I didn’t even think to ask for. Their attention to detail is unbelievable. There is not a single angle or moment that was missed — truly, every memory we hoped for is now documented forever because of them. Beyond their skill, they are genuinely warm, patient, kind and fun. They didn’t just photograph our wedding — they helped elevate the mood and made every moment enjoyable.

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

I can’t recommend Cassy V enough! We loved working with her for our wedding. She was so professional and kind to work with. She helped scout our couples photo shoot ahead of time so we didn’t have to do it ourselves, which is above and beyond. Her team and her did an amazing job during our chaotic tea ceremony and reception! We had 300 guests and they managed to capture the best moments us!

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

If you're looking for a photographer, we highly recommend Jenny and her work.

I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.
