Our wedding business started out with me shooting a wedding video for a very dear friend of mine in 2017. I posted the video to a Facebook business page and BOOM! It received 200,000 views and we started receiving hundreds of inquiries from couples around the PNW. Every year I would book 30-40 weddings doing photos and videos for couples. When COVID struck, we had a year crashing into the next year. We had to adapt. So I grew our company to 8 teams of pro photographers/videographers to cover weddings around the US. There is nothing better than capturing love on the biggest day ever. Every day we are thankful to be able to do this.

Or maybe you treasure those ordinary moments others take for granted. It’s possible you’ve realized one of the coolest things in the world would be to take a minute of your relationship, capture it, exaggerate it, make it art, tack it to your fridge, or parade it on Instagram & count the comments. Or maybe you want to blow it up huge and make a statement on your wall like ‘Hell yeah babe, that’s us!’ Yep, if you like my work, we’re probably a lot alike. Let’s get together.

I tend to feel awkward in front of the camera, but Rebecca put me at ease. She wonderfully captured genuine moments of love between me and my husband as well as our loved ones. Rebecca also sent us teasers while we were still on our honeymoon and sent the rest of the photos in a timely manner. I am so grateful that she was there on my wedding day and whole heartily recommend her to anyone recently engaged or looking for a photographer. Thank you so much for your amazing work, Rebecca.

intimate wedding photographer originally from the coast of VA, but now based in the North Georgia Mountains & love finding new adventures while exploring the outdoors. When I am not hidden behind my camera, you can find me hiking up a new mountain with my fur babies, eating tacos, or spending quality time with my little family. I started out capturing families, then realized that my heart is completely drawn to love & the bond that two people share. I describe my photography as bold, intimate & sincere. I enjoy capturing the small, yet sometimes unseen gestures & reactions as well as the pure romance between two people on their wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah truly is a total package. She is the sweetest human, best photographer, and the best person to keep your head on straight during your wedding. We had an amazing experience from the first few message exchanges. We had a beautiful engagement shoot and an even more beautiful wedding. All of the images we got truly reflect the absolute joy we felt on those special days. On my wedding day Hannah really was more than my photographer. She helped keep me calm, keep me on schedule, and even put together a last minute boutonnière for my dad when my venue messed up and didn’t make enough. To say we were thrilled and in love with our pictures and experience truly is an understatement. We can’t wait to have Hannah capture other events in our life and you should definitely book her for your special events as well!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start.. Melissa went above and beyond before we even booked her. From the first time we met her at a wedding expo, my husband and I knew she was going to be our photographer. Her style is so amazing and unique, we instantly fell in love with her photographs. Instead of just treating us like we were just another couple whose wedding she was going to shoot, she treated us like we had been friends for years. When we did our engagement shoot, my husband and I were a little nervous since we had never had professional pictures done before. Melissa made us feel instantly better! She was there making us laugh, talking us through it all and telling us stories of her and her husband doing sessions and what they do to ease their nerves. Melissa was not only here for us as our amazingly talented photographer, but she also always had a helping hand for ANY wedding question we had. She made me feel so relaxed at times when I was just a big ball of stress. Fast forward to our wedding day.. She was a freaking champ!! Our day wouldn’t not have NEARLY gone as smooth as it did if it wasn’t for her! Melissa is amazing at her job and making sure everything was on time with all the pictures and the timeline we had against the sunset (fall weddings lol). My husband and I will always use Melissa for any of our future shoots we have. We are thrilled to have found such an amazingly talented photographer and friend! We love you Melissa

You’ve got the ring, found the dream destination or venue, definitely at least thought about the dress - now all you have to do is find THE photographer. The one who’s down to travel, down to party, and most of all, down to help you perfect alllll the details of your dream day. I’ve been photographing intimate weddings in Ohio + beyond for the last 10 years - there’s nothing I don’t know about getting hitched, and nothing I don’t love about it.

I cannot recommend Kayla enough, she made our wedding day move so smoothly and kept us on time. Our pictures are everything I’ve ever dreamed of and more! She’s not only an incredible photographer, but an amazing story teller and friend!

Hi, I'm Katy! I've been a photographer and videographer for over 17 years and I love working with couples to create beautiful, artistic photos and films! My visual style tends to be soft with bright lighting, earthy/vibrant tones, a shallow depth of field (blurred backgrounds and foregrounds), and a mix of prompted and candid poses. My energy tends to be pretty calming, which can help people look and feel more natural in their photos and on video. I enjoy artistic collaboration and I love hearing your ideas and seeing your Pinterest inspiration boards!

Awarded Best of Zola
We feel so lucky to have found Katy as our videographer. While we were on our honeymoon she sent the link to our wedding video and we got to relive the day through her exquisite footage and editing. Everyone who watches it immediately asks (while wiping away their tears) “WHO was you videographer?!” Katy has an incredible eye and ability for storytelling that encapsulated our special day better than I could have hoped for!

My style is rooted in a editorial and documentary approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that capture genuine emotions. I prioritize unscripted moments, such as the reaction of your spouse as you walk up the aisle, the inside joke that makes you break out in laughter or the tears as your loved ones share thoughtful memories during toasts. These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Weddings can be chaotic, with so many moving parts and emotions running high, but Lucia managed to seamlessly navigate through it all. She ensured that each moment was captured without a hitch, and we were able to enjoy the day without feeling rushed or stressed. The quality of the photos is simply outstanding. Lucia has a keen eye for capturing the most beautiful and candid moments. The attention to detail in every shot is remarkable, and the images truly reflect the emotions and atmosphere of the day. The composition, lighting, and editing are all top-notch, resulting in a stunning collection of memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Heather is an outstanding photographer and person. We did an engagement shoot with her and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! She is very thorough and eager to capture her subjects vision. After our initial call, she scheduled another call to discuss the location of the shoot and logistics. Together, we came up with the awesome idea to shoot in a park in Queens during cherry blossom season. She told us the colors she thought would be best for us to wear based on the colors of the flowers, we were SO impressed with her knowledge and amazing attention to detail! Fast forward to the shoot, we got there a little late which was a bit stressful but Heather had an amazing attitude. I must say, this shoot was one of the most romantic moments we've had since we've been engaged. Heather asked us to look each other in the eyes and connect. We did just that! There was nothing super posey or unnatural about the shoot. She gently guided us all the way through and really heard what we were asking of her. Heather holds a special place in our hearts forever!

They were so accommodating and respectful of my elderly grandparents the whole day. Their relaxed demeanor and skillful presence beautifully captured all the most special moments of our day. LaDonna's assistant made our family photos a breeze—corralling my cousins and aunts, telling jokes to keep people from wandering off. This Dream Team is the perfect picture of efficiency! They made our entire experience genuinely enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you for expertly capturing our cherished moments. A solid 5 stars!

My heart beats for photographing a story worth telling, and finding the funny, quirky, moving little moments throughout that narrative. I always have a smile on my face and love, absolutely love to make people laugh. I can recite funny quotes and sing to you the cheesiest of songs. As cheesy as it may sound, I want to be your friend. I want to laugh throughout the whole day with you, making every moment so memorable and being right by your side to capture it. I want to keep in touch with you after, to see where life takes you!

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Heather was a fantastic photographer and really spent the time with us to take all of the photos we wanted. From beginning to end it was flawless knowing she was there and always close by to get some candid unplanned photos that were in the moment. I was able to call her name and get her to come take a photo with my 91 year old grandmother spontaneously without missing a beat. There were 2 brides for this wedding (myself and my now wife) and she made sure to make us both equally feel important and special and took all the photos we wanted and more of us together and separately (when we were getting ready) and also made our dog Jax feel special because he was apart of the wedding also. She was one of the best photographers I have worked with, and I work with them every day in the fashion world, and mainly wanted to hire a really great wedding photographer like Heather, and we are so glad we did! She is excellent and I highly recommend hiring her for your special day!

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a lover of art, stories, and spark—the perfect alchemy to creating and capturing all those memory-making, magical moments. Weddings, to me, are about your unique narrative, your origin stories and your threads of connection; the ways in which you’ve woven a love through a tapestry of compassion and inspiration and all that makes you you— both as individuals and as a couple. That’s the fabric of the photo, the material I like to work with; because of this, my photos lean atmospheric and candid.

Hannah was incredible, my husband, our guests, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She blended seamlessly with the crowd throughout our entire wedding weekend and the pictures are stunning!

She never dropped the ball. She went above and beyond to shoot my destination wedding in Key Largo, and she was genuinely excited about the shots she was getting, which in turn made us feel super pumped to see what she captured.

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

Tammy is my number one, favorite photographer to work with and the only person who can actually help me relax on a wedding day. I can trust her completely. I never need to worry about where she is, if she's getting the shot, or if she's shooting enough variety. She knows exactly what she's doing from extensive experience and she treats weddings with the same gravity as if it were her own day. Some of my favorite images of all time are just that due to Tammy's ability to read a room and complete the story. She continually brings new skills and her own innovation into every event, which I love to keep up with on her social media. Tammy gets so many compliments in part due to her skill and professionalism, but also because of the energy and perfectionism she will bring to your day. I can't say enough great things about having Tammy as a photographer.

My husband and I finally had our wedding after being legally married for 13 years and planning was a nightmare. We're wedding photographers too and started by hiring a team I follow online and love. Unfortunately they ended up telling us they were "double booked" and unavailable just a few months before our day and left us a bit lost. Abigail was amazing and put up with our probably crazy requests for photos out in a mid-winter blizzard for our wedding.

She responded timely to my submission, showed up on time and communicated each shot with my husband and our family and captured our perfect moments to perfection.

Hi I’m Taylor Anne! She/her! I’m a published editorial fashion and wedding photographer based out of Dallas, Texas! I knew for certain that I wanted to be a photographer on a trip to Paris with my mom in 2005. I had a small little point and shoot digital camera that I used to take photos of literally everything around the city. I got artistic with the sunset over the Seine, and caught a couple having a romantic moment on the bridge. It was then that I said to myself, “Oh, I actually kind of like this,” and began the process of photographing for the next 16 years.

Taylor is awesome!! She was so fun to work with! She did my bridal session and also my wedding! I couldn’t be any happier with my photos! The day we had my bridals scheduled it snowed and she brought gloves, a shaw, and hand warmers for myself and my mom and friend that tagged along! She made sure to get every picture I wanted as well as made sure all of my family made it into my pictures at the wedding. My pictures are so perfect & she captured everything I could ask for & more!! I highly recommend her to anyone for any pictures they want! She won’t disappoint!

Booking Rachel Stenger was one of the best vendor decisions that my husband and I made for our wedding day. Even from the first meeting we had with Rachel, she has such a calming and warm presence which we knew was what we would need the day of. She has such a unique way of photographing and capturing moments that make her so special and unlike a lot of other wedding photographers we met with. We did an engagement session with her and she made us feel so at ease, like most couples we're not naturally in front of the camera but she was able to easily talk us through poses throughout the session. We had a call the month of to discuss details with her - e.i, timeline, shot list, etc. This was a great call because it helped all of us get on the same page for day of. Forwarding to the wedding day - Rachel arrived early to start on capturing details. She helped us stay on-time during getting ready and first look since my DoC was at the venue setting up. She was able to capture SO many images throughout the day from getting ready all the way to the dance floor. Aside from the staged/traditional photos you'd expect from the wedding, she captured so many beautiful candid moments. She moved in SILENCE, I truly didn't see her for most of the day (in a good way!) yet we ended up with 750 images in the 7 hrs we hired her for. She captured everything and more. When we finally got the full album - my husband and I spent had an amazing 2 hours reliving every single moment! She blew us away and we were not prepared by how beautifully she captured the day - all of the details, the emotions, and the aesthetics, were EVERYTHING! Her talent is remarkable and we couldn't have asked for anything more. I'd recommend her to anyone - in fact, I already have a friend that's hired her for their day.
