Awarded Best of Zola
It's always hard and stressful when planning a wedding. But especially hard finding the perfect photographer to capture your vision and style on your special day. With Morgan she did a great job, she made it so easy for us leading up to the big day and during our wedding. One of my favorite things she did, aside for our amazing wedding photos, was giving us a shot list. It made sure she knew and we knew exactly what photos we wanted taken throughout our wedding; to make sure we got all the family and friend photos we wanted. Not only was it easy to work with Morgan she made is as stress free as possible which I'm sure was hard to do with the uncertain times during a pandemic and having to postpone our wedding more than once.

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

From the moment we first met Sarah, we were struck by her warmth and enthusiasm. Her ability to make us feel at ease throughout the day was remarkable, and it translated into the most beautiful and candid shots that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Sarah's attention to detail, creative eye, and unwavering commitment to capturing the essence of every fleeting moment are truly spectacular. As we browse through the photos, we find ourselves reliving each emotion! Her skillful artistry has given us the most beautiful memories that we will cherish for generations to come. Not just her technical expertise that shines, but also her genuine passion for her craft. Sarah navigated the chaos of the day with grace and patience, seamlessly blending into the background while managing to capture the most candid and genuine moments. It was no easy feat considering the absolute chaos on our day! Her dedication and professionalism have made a lasting impact on us, and we are excited to share these photographs with our loved ones, reliving the day all over again! Thank you Sarah!!!

Victoria Bremner Photography

Las Vegas, NV
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Salinas, CA for additional fees

I'm a Las Vegas based professional wedding photographer, working with couples from all over the world, as well as a travelling wedding photographer. Along with adoring weddings, I'm a serious hockey fan, with silver hair, and a terribly awkward smile. When I’m not photographing people, I love photographing Lego Minifigs on location, Darth Vader being a favorite (and personal hero) but I like expanding my collection of character portraits. I have a wicked sense of humor, a weakness for Rom Com’s & Spanish red wine. In my personal time I work closely with a local dog rescue, as a foster home and photographer, helping find their furever homes.

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly, highly recommend Victoria for any professional photo shoots. She shot our wedding last March and the pictures were absolutely amazing. She is incredibly professional, thorough, detail oriented, prompt, and has an amazing creative eye to capture stunning photos. She even saved us a huge disappointment by checking the time of sunset on our wedding day (it was the day before daylight savings time) on our first conversation! Had she not, we wouldn’t have known to move our wedding time up by an hour and we would’ve had all of our pictures in the dark! That was a major catch! She was so easy to work with, always made herself available to answer questions, and was totally on point on our wedding day. She stuck to our day-of schedule, made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted within the timeframe, directed us on how to pose and overall was a pleasure to work with. On a day that could be really stressful, we were totally at ease with her. I would hire her a million more times over!

Klein Photography was so much fun! I always wanted to do a Trash-The-Dress kind of photoshoot. Katy handled the wedding day beautifully and our photos were amazing. She even stayed late to get the afterparty and put up with my "photographer" uncle. I scheduled a Trash-The-Dress session after our honeymoon which was a blast!

Nicole is THE BEST! We initially hired her for our engagement shoot but we loved her photos so much once we saw them that we immediately hired her for our wedding too, and those photos came out equally as amazing! Nicole did such a great job capturing all of the happiness, warmth and love from our wedding day that I feel like I’m reliving every wonderful moment when I look at them. Beyond her skills as a photographer, Nicole was so patient and kind with all of my questions and was such a sweet, positive person to have with us at the wedding - when it was time for her to go I didn’t want her to leave!

THE HOLY GRAIL OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS. Truly the best experience and photographer I could have asked for. This young woman is highly artistic, professional, hard working, and goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best photos and session experience. She has taken my graduation photos, engagement photos, and now wedding photos. She offers great customizable package deals well worth your money. She asks all the right questions to ensure you get the photos you want. She arrives early, drives or travels to any lengths, and delivers her photos early. She makes you feel comfortable, brings out the natural candid side of you (and your man for those of you with shy and camera timid men like mine). She captures all the important moments during your event and offers a second shooter for extra coverage. I could not have asked for a better photographer or experience. What an artist.

Kyra and Heather went above and beyond for out special day. From helping me bustle my dress when no one could, to having a toothbrush and tooth paste for a member of the wedding party who forgot to brush their teeth... LOL I come from a very blended family and they made it so easy and comfortable arranging everyone for family formals. (I received lots of compliments from family about this as well) I would recommend Kyra and her team for any type of photography, not just wedding.

I began my photography journey in 2008 and have been shooting ever since! My love of music and travel initially took me to Nashville, where I studied under some of the best celebrity and music photographers in the business. The City of Music lead me to tour with Jesse McCartney and shoot some amazing musicians including Blake Shelton, Outkast, and the Backstreet Boys (a personal childhood dream of mine). However, the mountains were calling (as they say), and I ended up moving back to Colorado, my home state, in 2015 to begin my journey documenting love in all its forms!

Jess truly has a gift, and it's not just her artistic eye. It's her! We love her energy and the way she makes us feel really comfortable during her shoots no matter the location. She always has fun posing ideas and was also up for a few of our own crazy ideas (including riding a jet ski in our formal clothes!). Her photos really encapsulated our personalities and love. Jess has now captured all of my major life milestones: college graduation, professional headshots for my first big girl job, my engagement, my wedding, and our first photoshoot for our business. If you’re ever looking for a super talented photographer to work with, but also someone that will become your friend in the process, I highly recommend Jess. She’s the biggest sweetheart, wildly intelligent, and just an all around treat to have in your life.

San Rafael, CA
  • Classic style

  • Serves Salinas, CA for additional fees

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Harrison surpassed our expectations with his close attention to detail, capturing every moment beautifully. We're a slightly awkward couple, but he was professional and made us very comfortable taking our formals after the ceremony. Highly reccommend for those in search of a very talented photographer who is great with people.

If you close your eyes and think of your wedding day-- what do you see? Grandma smiling as she hands you her pearls to wear for the day. Your mom helping you into your dress, as a tear rolls down her face. Your fiance beaming as you walk down the aisle. Your dad kissing your cheek as he gives you away. The best man pats your fiance's back while your maid of honor fixes your gown. Your guests roaring as you're pronounced married! All of those smiles, tears, and cheering-- Curious Courtney captured it all-- plus some. They snapped a shot of your perfume as you spritzed it so every time you see that photo it's as if you can smell it. You can practically taste your cake again as you look at the photos of you smashing the cake into your significant other's face. Mia and Chris capture more than just a moment-- they capture the atmosphere, the emotion, and make you feel like you're reliving the whole day every time you look at your photos.

On our wedding day, Jenni was calm, creative and collaborative with our videography team. Jenni above and beyond! When our wedding party limo bailed, she was quick to problem solve and get me to my wedding. When our timeline got pushed back a little, she made she that I got to eat and drink during cocktail hour.

I’m a small town girl living in the big city of San Diego. You know the saying, “Home is where the heart is?” For me it has two meanings. If home is a physical place, mine is the magical little town where I was born – Ojai, California. It is a place where people can breathe deep and feel the wholeness of their lives. It's a magical little valley of peace happiness. If home is truly where the heart is, then mine is my family. In 2016, I married my best friend and the father of our beautiful son and daughter. We are a squad of awesomeness and those three hold my heart in the palm of their hands.

Morgan is amazing! She is professional, super sweet, and a pleasure to work with. She was willing to help with anything to make the day go perfect-from fixing my lip liner to bustling my dress she is all hands on deck and makes it happen! Not to mention her photos are unreal!

When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

I appreciate this lady so much. From beginning to after marriage. She has been there professionally and as a great friend to ease the stress that comes with a wedding. She was on point with meetings we had. If we got a little busy, she came to us. She is so wonderful. The day of the wedding. She showed up on time and honestly was the reason our wedding day ran smoothly. She understood our family (very stubborn people lol)and how to manage us to get these photos done in a secure time. As the groom, I normally want to get photos done with and eat. But with Aazaria, our pictures were done so professionally and with plenty of time for me to eat haha. I love this lady and thank her so much. She is a big part of my wedding day. And will be a part of our family forever.

LOVING, COMPASSIONATE, FRIENDLY, POSITIVE, HOPELESS ROMANTIC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN DALLAS, TX My photography style is a mix of candid and posed images. I prefer the candid moments, so it captures the true essence of the moment. I decided to pursue photography as a business in 2009 while planning our own wedding. I have photographed over 400 couple's stories from Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, Palm Springs, Temecula, Albuquerque, Mississippi, and beyond.

Monica’s photography truly captured exactly what I wanted for my wedding day and I don’t even have all the pictures yet. I got married two weeks ago and she has been so quick to get my photos uploaded and I’m still receiving them. You can tell she takes the time to review them and make sure they are what you want. I wanted a timeless look as that is what she has provided. She is very thoughtful in the poses, she asks you your photo list to ensure you capture all the photos on your big day with all the people and moment you want them with. It’s been also nice to work with her. As a couple on your big day you don’t get to see all the things that you’ve been decorating or buying for leading up to the day. Her team captured everything to help us relive that day over and over again. A lot of brides I’ve known sometimes wished they invested more in a photographer and I am glad I am the Bride that invested in a pro with experience! I love my photos so far!

Josie with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception. I have no idea how she pulled it off but they look so magical and caught everyone having fun, all the exact memories I'll always cherish.

Let me tell you a secret.... If there's one thing I've learned in the last 10 years, it's that amazing photos are the bare minimum of being an exceptional Wedding Photographer. You need to find someone you genuinely vibe with. You need to get on the phone and experience that person. If that person doesn't make you laugh in the first 5 minutes, THEYRE NOT THE ONE.

My husband and I don’t even know where to start this review. Simply put, Chris is incredible. He is a precise, detail oriented, artist who captures amazing moments and memories in his photography.

Hannah was the wedding photographer of my dreams! She is so attentive to detail, and she is so organized. She did a lot of research beforehand into my preferences, what were important and memorable items to me, about my family, and who my husband and I are as a couple. She knew that me and my mom are artists and incorporated our art into my wedding photos, which was such a special surprise to me. She herself is an artistic genius and her photographs were more beautiful than I could have imagined. She truly captured the emotions and feelings of the day in her photographs, all done with such a great artistic eye. We had formal portraits but I did not feel like we spent hours taking formal pictures. Hannah also has the kindest heart and such a positive spirit which was such a wonderful presence on our wedding day. We also were so lucky to have her husband as our second photographer. They both truly care about their clients and worked so hard to capture every perfect moment on our wedding day. We will cherish our photographs for a lifetime. I truly cannot be any more grateful that we had Hannah and her husband Corey as our wedding photographers!

My name is Helena, pronounced Ha-Leen-nuh (don't worry I get it all the time haha) I am a San Francisco native and ex-Silicon Valley techie who decided to take leap of faith (during the pandemic) to pursue my dreams of being a full-time Wedding Photographer. This journey has been SO wild, but I don't regret a minute of it. When you hire me, you hire not only a photographer, but a planner and a cheerleader as well ;) If you like dogs or cats, coffee (oat milk lattes FTW), thriving plants, outdoor adventures, dancing, and sunsets, I think we'll get along great ;)

Helena skillfully captured our most joyous and precious moments of our wedding day. She was everything we wished for in a wedding photographer and more! A unique vision. On multiple occasions, Helena would excitedly pose us in a certain position or she would run up some stairs to capture a certain angle. I knew I was watching an artist in her element. She is so stunningly creative in her use of the environment. My favorite example of this was when Helena had a whimsical idea to use the afternoon light through the window to cast a silhouette of us on the wall. The shot left us in awe. It is one of my favorites! The right time and place. Helena has a unique way of knowing what might happen next so she can position herself to capture subtle and sweet moments. For example, during the reception, right after we made our toast to all our guests, I sat back down next to my Mom who then leaned in for a quick hug and a kiss. I barely remembered it (was starving and a bit tipsy). Imagine my delight to find that precious little memory captured in the sneak peaks we received shortly after! I still can't believe Helena captured that. It's one of those "is someone cutting onions?" pictures that I will cherish. A friend. Helena made us feel at ease and comfortable throughout our three sessions: the ceremony, welcome party, and the reception. All our friends enjoyed their time meeting Helena and complimented her on her creativity (we heard all the ooh's and ah's as Helena was posing us). When we were posing with our parents who weren't very fluent in English, Helena spoke in Chinese to help direct them as well. Towards the end of our reception, we had to make sure we had a photo together so we can remember what a special part she had. We felt she went "above and beyond" for us. Helena is simply amazing. Hire her.

Aubrey did an incredible job during the planning portion leading up to my wedding for photography. She has impeccable communication, thorough documentation and expectations and will guide you through things that you think would work great but with her experience she might suggest something slightly different that will make a world of difference in the timeline of your day for photography. She is always open to ensuring that you as the client have your desires for your wedding photos fulfilled. I always felt like she listened, and worked through fine-tuning details. My husband and I aren't exactly "comfortable" in front of the camera and rarely knew what to do with our hands or where to look and she was always so helpful to ensure we were comfortable and the photos would turn out looking relaxed and at ease. My wedding photos are stunning and I have Aubrey to thank for that! You won't regret choosing her to photograph your most precious day!

I love a good love story. There’s nothing I enjoy more than photographing the kind of love that sets the soul on fire. Or capturing the excitement that comes from saying ‘yes’ to forever with your best friend. I’m empowered by the couples who are passionate about life but don’t take it too seriously. The ones who crave adventure and aren’t afraid to blaze their own trail. Who value connection and intentional conversation while making the time and space in their relationship to grow in love and as individuals.

There are not enough words to express how grateful we are that Emilee and Dan were a part of our wedding day. When searching for vendors to work with, my goal was to find people who would support a calm, grounded, flexible wedding day. With Emilee I hit the absolute jackpot. Her and Dan took the time to get to know us, to understand our values, personality and vision to collaborate on capturing a deeply personal experience. My husband and I are not fans of stiff, posed or inorganic photos on our wedding day, but instead wanted to capture who we are and our community. Emilee's approach did exactly that. She is flexible, willing to pivot at any moment and had amazing ideas from the start of our engagement shoot. Neither my husband and I are very comfortable being photographed and she immediately put us at ease. Emilee QUICKLY sent us 30 photos from our wedding as a sneak preview of our gallery and we instantly fell in love with every single one. We had so many friends reach out to us telling us how much they loved our photos and several people asked how they could reach Emilee for their own wedding day! We cannot wait to see our whole gallery. Please book Emilee you will not be disappointed!

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I live in Oregon with my husband and our two cats Clara & Leonardo. We love exploring the Pacific Northwest, but we've also been able to travel throughout the states and overseas.

Naomi made my elopement such a great experience! Both my husband and I are very camera shy and we felt so comfortable and relaxed with Naomi. She gave us lots of direction where we needed (as requested) and got so many WONDERFUL candid shots. She’ll be shooting our reception in the fall and I can’t wait to see what pictures we get back after. Highly recommend!!!

Being part of my clients story, is where I have found my calling. Capturing moments in your life, freezing those memories, and making them stay alive each time you look at your photos, is truly what makes my time rewarding. There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.

Honestly, our big day would have not been as amazing if it wasn’t for Cori. She literally is so amazing! She captured every detail and every unplanned beautiful moment wonderfully. She’s professional, fun, makes everything less stressful, helps out where she can even outside the photos and video just to help ensure your day is as beautiful as possible. We had a lot of hiccups on our wedding and she helped far past what was needed and it made the biggest difference for me personally more than she even knows. She’s level headed and helps you get back focused on your special day. The day, the pictures, the video all AMAZING!

Courtney & Jackson are wedding, elopement & family photographers based in San Francisco, California but available for travel worldwide. We go wherever love takes you. Photoflood Studio is a wife + husband team from San Francisco, California. We are wedding photographers servicing NorCal to SoCal and beyond. Photoflood Studio specializes in wedding, engagement, and family photography. We aim to photograph life + love through an honest documentary approach. Our wedding, engagement and family photography is inspired by the beautiful wilderness, the culture of our coastal cities, and wherever you call home.

Courtney and Jackson of Photoflood Studios changed our entire wedding experience for the best, and we couldn't be more thankful that we selected them as our photographers. When we started the wedding planning process, it was overwhelming and a little intimidating, especially when we started looking at vendor prices. My husband and I both knew that we wanted to spend the money on a quality photographer because the photos are something we will have forever. When we started browsing, we didn't feel connected to anyone's work until we saw C+J's website. I instantly knew that this is who I wanted, and it didn't take much convincing to get my husband on board. It felt SO good to check photographer off our list early in the game. One thing I loved was that Courtney met us in person to discuss our visions and just to get to know each other before we committed to a contract (it's a big commitment, people!). I emailed her within 48 hours that we wanted to work together, and the rest is history. My husband and I decided we could not afford a videographer, so instead we knew we wanted two photographers. BEST. DECISION. EVER. Courtney and Jackson handled our engagement session and wedding day so seamlessly, it was like they'd been taking our pictures our whole lives! And, we had never had professional pictures taken before! But, I read online that engagement photos are a good warmup and practice for wedding pictures (highly recommend engagement pictures for anyone who is unsure). These two are the epitome of a dream team. We were nervous for our engagement pictures, but they made us feel so comfortable and confident. They also took the time to go to the wedding venue ahead of time and scope out some great locations for our bridal party and newly wed shots. C+J were HUGE proponents to making our wedding day a success. They transformed into photographer/time keepers/event planners - I think they are super heroes!!! Our wedding experience was so flawless with them capturing our special day. We requested a "mega selfie" with us and all our guests, and they made that happen! We snuck off during dinner for the sunset newly wed shots, and they personally drove us around chasing the sunset. It's inexplicable how wonderful these people are. They are so much more than talented photographers, and we are so fortunate to now call them friends. Something else that was really important is that even with all of their photoshoots and other clients, Courtney ALWAYS responded to my emails in a timely manner. She was so on it, and that made me feel really valued and heard. I appreciated that so much, because I was a nervous bride who didn't know what I was getting into. The fact that I always got an email response in a timely fashion was huge brownie points in my book. AND, they send you sneak peeks!! Literally the day after our engagement shoot and wedding day, they sent us a bunch of sneak peeks! There is literally nothing better than getting a taste of your special memories to hold you over until the full gallery is ready. If you are on the fence about photographers, know that your time with C+J of Photoflood Studios will be one of the best parts of your wedding. They want to capture you and your partner as you are, and will never make you feel posed, uncomfortable, or phony. I could write a book about these two and how incredible they made our wedding day. But I'll stop here and just make one final point: Hire them....You will not regret it!!!

Wedding photography for unconventional people. At the core of my practice as a wedding photographer, I believe: - that if your wedding traditions are not authentic and meaningful to you, then you deserve the freedom to build new traditions. - that men, women, and people of all genders are beautiful and deserve to have that beauty celebrated. - that we are most beautiful when we love fully and without reserve. - that no wedding or elopement is too small to commemorate. - that photographs are the record of memory and of personal history. - that you deserve to remember this.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Kate to capture our civil ceremony at SF City Hall. We had our symbolic ceremony abroad a few more weeks out but wanted to sign the papers ahead of time first at home. She was very professional and so organized. Loved knowing I could rely on her guidance and expertise which was so needed given how much was going on around that time. Some of the photos took my breath away and she made both of us feel very at ease throughout the process. Highly recommend.

For our engagement photos, she spent a lot of time scouting out the best locations at our venue to ensure we got some really beautiful photos. Which of course we did! For the wedding, she made sure to get every single specific photo I told her was important to me. Even ones I had forgotten about in the moment. I was truly grateful for how patient she was the day of and how organized she was. We’ve only gotten our sneak peek photos but so far but they are incredible!

Our engagement photos were everything we wanted and our wedding photos will be even more amazing. She sent us sneak peaks faster than I ever imagined and it made us so excited for our full gallery. You will not regret booking your event with Lauren!! She knows what she is doing!

We are a family owned company that started in 2014. This was my dream and so I decided to name my company after my daughter "Laura Alexandra" since she was the reason for starting my company. We offer many different types of sessions but our passion is capturing love. From engagements to weddings we are there to capture every moment for everlasting memories.

Very professional, I highly recommend Alexandra as a photographer for any occasion

Just a local to Central Florida, I love adventures and exploring, I love out of the box and perfectly fitting into the box weddings, and a lover of LOVE. As someone who's single (I know, I'm a catch, how is this even possible??) I can't exactly say I relate to the struggle of planning out a dream wedding. But, as someone who's been photographing weddings for 4 years now, I know how much work goes into making your day special. I'm there to make your day all about you + your partner, and the love you share!

Harper is very professional. She is able to deliver amazing quality and beautiful images that will leave her clients so happy.

Hi there! I'm Morgan. I'm a wedding photographer based in southeastern Massachusetts serving all of New England and beyond. If you feel genuine joy from playful, color-filled photographs, consider this your sign that you’re in the right place!

Morgan shot my wedding in July 2021 and it was by far the best descion we made! Pictures are such an important part of a wedding day and Morgan really nailed it! She captured everything so perfectly and was so easy to work with. My husband and I are a little awkward especially with pictures but she was so fun and made everyone feel so comfortable. She also really listens to what you want and makes sure she captures it! I highly recommend her and look forward to working with in the future on family portraits!

We know you're probably feeling some pressure to select a wonderful photographer to document your wedding since your photographs are the only part of your wedding that are remaining once the wedding day itself is over. Selecting the photographer for you is fairly easy… you should feel a connection straight away after reviewing our portfolio, and know that we’ll capture the both of you, your wedding, your family and friends in a wonderful truthful and beautiful way that will last forever. Sometimes, it’s as simple as that…feeling it!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Kim and had our day captured so perfectly and exactly how we envisioned. From our initial meeting, engagement photos and to the final delivery of the photos, Kim exceeded every expectation we had for a wedding photographer. On the wedding day, Kim and Barry seamlessly blended into the background, yet somehow managed to be everywhere – capturing every significant moment without ever feeling intrusive. Their attention to detail is impeccable, ensuring that no moment went unnoticed. We have so many amazing and candid moments from the day and looking through our photos feels like reliving the day itself. Kim and Barry captured everything so beautifully and we are beyond happy with the photos and will cherish them forever. We could not recommend Kim enough!

Hi loves! I’m Amanda, a San Diego based traveling photographer devoted to documenting romantic wedding moments and preserving the essence of the big day with imagery. I absolutely love having fun with my couples and getting them comfortable in being exactly who they are to capture in images! I have been a photographer for 10+ years and have fallen in love with being the person who showcases a couple’s love through creative imagery. I’ll be your biggest hype man, get you laughing with your partner and capture every emotional moment that should never be forgotten!

Amanda and KC were amazing! My fiancé and I were hesitant to take engagement photos at all—we are both awkward and don’t pose well for photos. Amanda and KC were very relaxed, casual and FUN! They made us laugh the entire time and everything felt so easy & comfortable. AND THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL! First, we don’t look awkward (big win). And second, the settings/backdrops/lighting they chose were exactly what we were looking for. Great experience and would highly recommend for anyone looking for engagement photos.

Northern Glow was built from a passion to create and document imagery in an art form that can be cherished for a lifetime. I have captured over 130+ weddings and countless other portrait sessions. The growth in the craft is what moves me. There is always new experiences and amazing people to meet. I truly want us to feel like old friends when the album has been delivered In brief... my ethos is to capture in an organic candid "unposed" fashion. All of this should be achieved by minimizing the nervousness in front of the camera and engaging in a fun adventurous experience.

Working with Northern Glow Photography for our engagement and wedding photos was the best decision! David is so passionate about his work, and we couldn't be happier with how our photos came out. We're usually very awkward in front of a camera, but David did a great job of keeping our sessions fun and relaxed. We had a second shooter on our wedding day - Sarah - who was also incredible. Overall, we're so happy we chose Northern Glow Photography! We'll definitely be working with David and his team for any photo sessions moving forward and highly recommend to others, too.
