When I'm not doing photos I'm singing/karaoking, going on hikes/nature walks, playing board games with the fam, watching movies/binging shows, listening to music, and doing anything outdoors! I'm also a total foodie, avid reader, and love animals. Fun Fact: My favorite weddings to do are outdoorsy, nature filled, boho, romantic, modern, elegant, or adventurous weddings! Also, heads up I will fangirl with you over your dress!

Working with Adriana was SUCH a blessing to our whole planning experience! From the start, she was so genuinely friendly & easy to work with! We were planning a wedding out of state and being local to the area that we got married, Adriana went above and beyond to help us! She even knew the venue we were renting and helped me understand what to expect so I could plan with ease! Adriana was always available to schedule a call with & was so patient with my communication through a busy summer! She was even willing to book last minute bridals following our wedding weekend to make our dreams come true of capturing the Teton scenery (not to mention, her immaculate vibes during the shoot!). On top of being the kindest person, she is so talented & captured every emotion from our wedding day in ways we couldn’t have imagined. We are so grateful for Adriana’s talent and kindness and absolutely recommend her to everyone!! Having a small and intimate wedding, Adriana truly felt like a friend celebrating with us! She is just the best!

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

My (now) husband and I chose to hire Jennifer from Captured Couture as our photographer for our wedding. We were both blown away by her images posted on her website and Instagram page and after having a phone interview we were convinced she was the one for us. Jennifer was communicative and so easy to work with. We were able to get a free engagement session with the purchase of our package which was awesome because we were able to meet her in person before our actual wedding. The day of the wedding there were a few minor hiccups as our wedding was the same day as the Detroit Pride fest, and we weren’t sure some of our desired locations would be accessible. Without a moment of hesitation Jennifer, who knows the city of Detroit incredibly well, was able to secure a location for our first look and our wedding party photos which turned out to be perfect. Jennifer and her assistant LeAnn captured every part of our wedding with some much care and attention to detail. Our photos are spectacular and we are so thankful for our photography team. Both my husband and I would definitely recommend Captured Couture to anyone looking for wedding photography.

Imagine Elopements Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Salinas, CA for additional fees

Imagine a wedding day that feels like stepping into your favorite storyline —intimate, magical, and unapologetically yours. I help craft experiences for couples who value creativity, intentionality, and a touch of wonder. My photography is a blend of both documentary and editorial, combined in such a way that feels authentic and timeless. From windswept vows on a mountaintop to quiet toasts in a mossy forest. Based in Oregon, I specialize in elopements that celebrate your individuality and sentimental parts of your story. Let’s create some truly magical photographs—together.

I don't know where to begin. So I suppose at the beginning! Mia was so professional, took incredible and creative shots, had unparalleled attention to detail, and was just so dang friendly and awesome to work with! That being said, Mia was WAY more than 'just' a photographer. I'm from Oregon, but we live in NYC, so our wedding was a destination wedding for most. Mia had not only been to Crater Lake countless times, but she scouted out specific areas for me, sent me loom videos, and even woke herself up at the crack of dawn to scout out where a sunrise photoshoot would be best. Seriously - above and beyond! Oh, then she created this beautiful pdf of everything you need to know/prepare before the event. I mean, the details and even the aesthetic of the doc was fantastic. Another example - I had SO many issues in finding a hairdresser and I had vented to Mia about it. In no way did I think she'd respond the way she did. Her response was "oh no, that's not right. Let's start over." She then quickly got me several hair referrals and I did go with one of them (who was also excellent). Now - the micro ceremony, photoshoot, and then the reception the following day (i know, we were a lot!) ... I mean - she was AWESOME. She was the patient ringleader we all needed in corralling all of our family members in the right direction and orchestrating where we should go / what we should do and when the day of (again, MORE than 'just' a photographer). It was all crazy, fun, and chaotic, but then it came down to our First Look. She told me to ignore her, and just be in the moment and that this was a very special private time with just me and him - and to really enjoy it (I'm butchering this)- that's when I lost it and my waterworks started. It was what a caring friend would say - it was so kind, soft, genuine, and exactly what I needed to hear at the exact time I needed to hear it. Needless to say, all of the shots we had for the micro ceremony, sunset photoshoot (we nixed sunrise bc we wanted to sleep in the day after haha), family portraits, and dinner were done flawlessly... and not just flawlessly, but Mia just brought the best positive energy and made it so memorable! She brought tons of lenses, and even props and bug-spray for us (I definitely didn't think that). None of the poses were or felt cheesy - and I know that's not always the case. Because you're having fun, it becomes natural and organic. Now post wedding, etc, she gave us access to the website with all of our photos. First, it was organized in a very logical way (thank god!!) with Previews, First Look, Ceremony, etc etc. All in sequential order. We had another reception over here on the East Coast and I can confidently say that not everyone organizes their photos this way - or is anything like Mia. It made it very easy to show them to everyone, and create albums, and Christmas gifts. These are photos of a lifetime that we will always be able to look back on and remember as the best day of our lives. She was able to capture it all perfectly. Truly. These are just a few examples (yes, there are more), but as you can see, Mia was WAY more than 'just' a photographer. She really made it all happen and it would not have gone off without a hitch without her. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! You really won't find anyone like Mia. She blows any bar out of the water.

My now-husband (!!) and I cannot speak highly enough of Ashley. We did our engagement pictures with her and very soon after booked her for our wedding. Not only is she just such a kind and cool person, she's also an incredible photographer with an amazing ability to capture exactly the essence you're looking for. Even if you can't describe exactly what you want, Ashley can make it happen. She sees the beauty in all the little moments that you can easily miss on such a busy day. Working with Ashley was seamless; she's a great communicator and worked closely with us at each step of the process. We got so many sneak peeks back within 48 hours of our wedding which was super exciting, and it's going to be hard to pick which ones to frame!

Swoyer Photography 

5.0

  • Serves Salinas, CA for additional fees

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

It has taken me a month after my wedding to even find the words to express how grateful my husband and I are to have found Laura and her company for our wedding photography. Laura and her husband Mike shot our wedding at Stratton Mountain VT Sept 2021. From day 1 - she was the kindest, most responsive, thorough, and professional vendor that I had for the whole occasion. We met her shortly after we booked for our engagement shoot, which was included in the package. Laura expressed how important she felt it was to meet us and get to know us a bit before our big day. She doesn't just treat you like a client, she cares about you and your experience like a good friend would. She was more than happy to accommodate our puppy in all pics too! We felt so comfortable - even my husband who was dreading the photo taking experience was at ease. Then we hit COVID, had to delay a year, without hesitation she kept our date for the following year, and still would check in periodically to make sure we were OK. She walked me through what to expect the day of, all of my crazy questions and concerns were answered with patience and ease. There was never more than a day where an email went without response, even when she was away shooting another occasion. Laura has an incredible amount of experience and her suggestions truly made all the difference in how our getting ready, first look, ceremony, cocktail, and reception played out. I'm sure you would also want to know that the editing after the occasion was a SUPER fast turnaround, so I didn't have to wait too long to relive this amazing experience. I am obsessed with every single photo that was taken - candid, posed, all of it! The product was as amazing as my experience with her. I would not hesitate to recommend Swoyer Photography to anyone, anywhere, anytime. I am actually positive that when we decide to start our family, we'll be giving her a call to book a shoot for a special occasion or two ;-) Thank you for everything Laura!

When I was a kid all I wanted to be was a photographer (or a vet) and in 2019 o my husband gave me that opportunity. I left my corporate job to pursue my passion. I started a pet sitting business AND a photography business at the same time and I think it's safe to say that right now I am living the dream. I have three beautiful cats and a wonderful husband who supports me in whatever I do.

Aurora flew all the way from Nashville to Boston to photograph my wedding. She made sure to capture everything I asked for and paid attention to what I had wanted.

Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

Hi I'm Carmelisse. I'm an intimate wedding & elopement photographer based in Los Angeles. I have a gift for making people comfortable and seeing the beauty in all diverse people. I want nothing more than to tell your love story right.

Awarded Best of Zola
PSA: Attention all future lovers, hire Carmelisse to capture your best day ever! I have been a huge fan of Carmelisse for years and have followed her in hopes and dreams to have her as our photographer for our wedding, which *fast forward* came true! To showcase her sweet demeanor, she sent us a survey to get to know us as partners and understand our vision. For our engagement shoot, she made us feel comfortable as she played music, helped us pose, and prompted us to flirt with one another to get a great shot. At the end of the night, as it was reaching golden hour in the mountains, Carmelisse brought us a bottle of champagne to toast to our love and photographed us slow dancing as the sun was setting, a core memory that we will never forget. Carmelisse exemplifies herself as an unofficial bridesmaid and I can attest to that! Personally, I did not have a wedding planner since the venue came with a day of coordinator. Leading up to the big day, I confided to Carmelisse about the order of events and details. Similar to the engagement shoot survey, she was intentional and sent us another survey to understand our wants for the wedding day. Until this day, my husband and I credit Carmelisse and her teammate, John, for keeping our timeline in order because without their professionalism we would’ve been lost. Throughout the day, Carmelisse and John kept us calm and collected with all the emotions of the day. In addition, Carmelisse handled our photo booth, which was excellent quality and our family loved the fact they could do gifs and save the photos directly on their phones. All in all, they were our hype people, our comfort, and helped us live in the moment and enjoy the best day. Carmelisse is our number-one recommendation for any occasion! She is literally an angel and a true artist in her craft. Thank you so much, Carmelisse! I will keep on preaching your brand until the end of time.

Hey there! My name is Emilee, and I am a Minnesota-native living in NYC! I've been photographing people and events for 15 years. I shoot families, couples, individuals, and pets, but my passion lies in wedding photography. I love capturing the whirlwind of a couples' big day, and seeing the love that is shared between them and all their wedding guests. It's magical and wonderful every. single. time. My current markets are Minnesota and New York, but I'm available to travel anywhere in the US and the world for additional fees!

Awarded Best of Zola
What a dream Emilee was to work with, from start to finish. OUR CEREMONY PARTY: we decided on a private, courthouse elopement on a Wednesday, a 60 person reception party on a Friday. In both, our biggest priority was having a photographer capture the intimate, joyful small details. We went with Emilee because of her eye for the beauty in the small things. She captured both our days perfectly. DOCUMENTARY STYLE: Emilee was perfect behind the scenes, capturing beautiful moments of our friends and family, small details of the courthouse with just us. I look back at some of these photos and ask "how did she even get that?!" She has such an eye. POSED: We had about 20 minutes dedicated to posed, family photos during our reception. Emilee had our families relaxed and laughing, quickly swapping members in and out. In some newlywed photos, we sought her advice for how to pose. She gave quick direction, made us feel confident, and always found the perfect light. COMMUNICATION SPEED: Delivered on every promise, quick replies. Emilee was 15 minutes early to both locations, we never had to worry. PERSONALLY: We met with Emilee about 4 months before our big days. We had coffee, talked about our vision and our biggest priorities. She immediately felt like a friend, and knew she was firmly on our team. If you're looking for a photographer to capture not only beautiful photos of yourself, but more importantly, the feeling in every room, Emilee is the photographer for you. We recommend wholeheartedly, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her. Sincerely, Mara James

We loved working with Murtaza and the MKEShoots team for our 6-event Indian wedding, plus engagement shoot. His passion for the art was so infectious, especially since it was our first time doing professional photos. It took us some time to warm up to the camera, but once we did, well, the pictures really speak for themselves. Murtaza especially has an incredible eye for creative photo ideas, and he and the team made it so much fun even though we were stressed out with all the wedding drama. They scoped out noteworthy outdoor locations that made amazing backdrops, helped corral family members together for group photos, and just generally went above & beyond to make sure we had coverage of all the important moments - all the big things and the small details too. The photos we ended up with were beyond what I imagined, I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Now, I just need someone to help put the wedding album together.... :)

I'M SUSANNA. THE GIRL BEHIND THE CAMERA. I'm a photographer based out of Boise, Idaho. I specialize in couples, lifestyle, weddings + everything raw, real and emotional. When i'm not photographing something you can find me exploring nature, hanging out at a concert or re-watching The Office (for the 100th time). I'm a lover of travel, animals, adventure, art, good food and making great memories. I've loved photography for as long as I can remember + I'm certain that capturing other people's stories + love is my passion and my calling.

Susanna Grant was a joy to work with for our wedding day. She was so friendly, and put us completely at ease throughout the entire process. On the wedding day itself, she captured all of the important moments beautifully. We highly recommend Susanna!

Gabbie Burseth Photo 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,200
  • Serves Salinas, CA for additional fees

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabbie is the best of the best! I have been working with her for several years on brand projects and because she has always been such a pleasure to work with, it was a no-brainer to hire her for my wedding. I am all about the details, so I really appreciated her being willing to meet beforehand to understand exactly what I was looking for. She brought all of my editorial/Pinterest-worthy dreams to life! She arrived early, was highly professional, and made my wedding party feel totally comfortable. She perfectly captured moments I will cherish forever, and I could not recommend her enough!

Loren Hansen Photography

  • Serves Salinas, CA for additional fees

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a talented and delightful photographer!

Peyton was incredibly professional during both photo shoots we had with her. I decided I wanted to do a boudoir shoot for my husband and was nervous. Peyton made me feel comfortable and excited about the next outfit and poses. For our wedding, Peyton came to the venue early and ensured that everything went smoothly. She scouted areas to make the best pictures. She also made me feel comfortable during the photography portion of the day. One thing to mention and I can’t thank her enough for it: she was flexible with the timing and ensured that we knew it was our day.
