Cole Garrett Photography

Austin, TX
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves San Marcos, CA

I have been a wedding photographer for 9 years. In high school I used my dads film camera to photograph my friends skateboarding, I loved it! But I always wanted to skate more than take photos. Instead of shooting my friends jumping off of stairs, I always had my camera on me for the in between moments. I would photograph my friends, mostly getting into trouble or messing around. I have always been drawn to the connection we had as friends, and loved documenting it. that is were my love for documenting couples steamed from. capturing those in between moments you both cherish.

Cole is wonderful to work with! We enjoy him professionally, and his talent and skills create beautiful images for our clients!

San Jose, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves San Marcos, CA

Nice to meet you, I am Sharyce. You are here which means you already know I like to take pictures. But WHY I take pictures is a different story. For nearly a decade I called myself a photographer because I picked up my camera occasionally and made some extra cash here and there. A version of myself now likes to look back and cringe at the photographer from a decade ago. However she (me) set the foundation for my career path today. When I became a mother I found that pictures had much more meaning behind them. Yes, I am going to go into the stereotypical photographers speil about “visual storytelling”.

I wish I could leave 10 stars. Sharyce has a knack for capturing those split second moments that you'll cherish for a lifetime. Her calming and friendly demeanor is exactly what you need to get those honest and emotional photos. I would recommend her to anyone! Stop your search, you've found the talent you're looking for.

  • Serves San Marcos, CA

Call me your candid emotion curator! I consider myself to be an illustrator of love stories, here to capture your wedding day naturally as it unfolds! My style is a blend of curated candid moments and directing you through poses that are natural and authentic to you and your relationship.

We feel so fortunate to have found Jasmine! We clicked with her personality immediately and felt like we could truly be ourselves, which is so important to capture in photos. We don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera, but she made it easier and was able to fool the world into thinking we might be photogenic. Jasmine took our engagement photos first, which helped us get to know each other, and we had a low-pressure opportunity to get the hang of the process before the big day. And when it came to the wedding day, Jasmine and her husband were so on top of it. The turnaround to get the full gallery was so quick and it was such a joy to relive the memories through the beautiful photos. They captured so many key moments perfectly, especially the candids. The wedding day was such a blur for us, so this photo gallery is precious. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Not only did we find a truly wonderful photographer, but we feel we found a friend.

My superpower is the way I connect with your vision. I see you guys on the best day of your lives. I see how well you two fit together, how in love you are, how perfect it all looks. And then I use my camera to make sure that’s exactly how you look in your photos. As someone who grew up *hating* all photos of me, I'm ultra aware of that for others. I still cringe a little when I think about having my photo taken, but I’ve found that it’s always easier when a friend is there to keep me laughing. My sense of humor (and obsession with bad puns) is the perfect way to break the ice for effortless, fun photos that help you feel your best!

In this crazy and beautiful life, I'm caught by the moments. I'm a photojournalist and I mainly photograph weddings and families. You're probably drawn to my work because of real stories and moments. You will not hear me asking you to "pretend" to put on earrings, shoes or a fake smile or telling you what you "should" do and where to look. (Well, except for portrait/group photos...) Your photos will not only tell your own unique story but will take you back to those genuine moments and emotions you felt. Seriously, wouldn't that be the absolute BEST way to re-live your life?

I run on shenanigans, sassiness, and an obscene amount of coffee. And I grew up in the mountains so that makes me a wildflower at heart and a mountain girl through and through. When we meet be prepared for me to crack jokes, laugh loudly, gesture wildly, and run full sprint towards something I think is pretty (while trying not to die). I believe in embracing life with a whole lot of weirdness, far too much smart-aleck humor, and every single ounce of fierce passion, obsessive gratitude, profound inspiration, and reckless joy that I can forcefully wring out of this adventure called life. So that's me.

My husband and I are a team and have always been drawn to watching old home videos. We love the nostalgia, the time that is still present through documentation. Our inspiration to the way we photograph is similar to these home movies we grew up watching of our families. It’s the candid in between moments. The family and friends who haven’t seen one another in some time go in for a big warm embrace. It’s the group of cousins all about to cheers and take a celebratory drink together. It’s the tears and the laughter being captured when people think no one is looking. Genuine emotions. It’s what moves us. It’s what we live for.

I’ve taken photos for over 250 couples in 8 states and 7 countries over 6 years with 5 cameras for 1 reason: Memories matter. Your wedding day is the fastest day of your life. I'll freeze it for you and then I'll frame it for you. So you can feel it all over again. But choosing a photographer and then trusting them with once-in-a-lifetime moments is stressful. Nobody likes stressy things. I'll make sure the photography is the easiest part of your day.

My biggest passions are aesthetics and human connection...so weddings are naturally my favorite thing to photograph.

Right after graduating from CSU Sacramento in 2012 (with a BA in Photography, might I add!), I did photography as a side-hustle while working a couple of various jobs: part-time as a Summer camp counselor and full-time at a medical device company. After getting married in 2016, I moved to Modesto with my husband since he was working there at the time. Because of the move, I had to leave my jobs in the East Bay. I took this move to the Central Valley as a sign that I should do photography full-time. So, since 2017, I've been a full-time wedding photographer. We are now in beautiful Sonoma County!

Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. We’ve always sought to remember things exactly how they happened - how we felt. This is how authentic photography captivates us. The goal is to photograph your day as it unfolds naturally. Take a few moments to go through some words from past clients describing their experience with us. You’ll also find us on Google.

Awarded Best of Zola
Josh is a patient, empathetic, and unique soul who happens to have a superbly skilled eye for photography. My husband and I first reached out to Josh after our engagement, arranging an engagement shoot that still makes our hearts flutter. When the pandemic made it necessary for us to postpone our wedding celebration, he joined us at the courthouse for a shoot around the city. He turned an otherwise bureaucratic and dull process into some of the most honest and beautiful photos ever taken of us. And when we finally got to celebrate our big day with family and friends, he captured every special moment -- the subtle, quiet exchanges, the heron enjoying some shade by the creek, the exuberance on the dance floor. His heart and passion, not just for his craft but for the subjects he photographs, comes through in every shot and edit. Look no further - you found your photographer.

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Justin is the absolute BEST - hire him and know you have made the best decision! Our wedding photos are incredible - I am obsessed, I can't stop looking at them (although a little sad too that it is over...but so happy we have so many amazing memories captured). Justin is incredible - his ability to be in so many locations all at once blows my mind - especially at the Cathedral, and how incredible we were able to get shots that are otherwise off limits?!?! I also love all the moments of real emotion on everyone's faces - amazing moments I would have never known happened! I can't thank him enough! Also he made the day fun and was super helpful especially during the moments that didn't quite go as planned - someone even asked if he was my wedding planner! Thank you Justin!

Before I was even engaged I knew that Thalia was IT for me. It was never even a question about who, it was making sure I booked her. I’ve had the pleasure of following her work for some years and more than the beauty of each image she captures, I love the way it made me feel. I felt like I was getting a sneak peek at someone’s happiest moments. I truly felt like each picture was so intentional and filled with love, yet not rehearsed or feigned. I even ended up making my wedding date a day that Thalia was available because that’s the only thing I knew for sure was a must-have for me! Fast forward to today, and I couldn’t be happier with my photos. When I looked at my album, it was like reliving all of the little details, all of the special moments, and that’s priceless. Thalia is a true professional, who makes you feel comfortable in your skin and can magically capture the beauty and essence of every moment. If you’re into that sort of thing then I can’t recommend Thalia enough!

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.

Lindsey is such an amazing talent with an equally kind heart. We were lucky enough to work with her for our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. She went above and beyond our expectations in so many ways, and delivered quality work that we will cherish for a lifetime. We felt so comfortable with her behind the lense, which is not an easy task. She scouted beautiful scenery for our sunrise engagement photos, and even reserved a campsite for us to stay the night before. She helped us incorporate our lovely pup into our photos, both on the wedding day and for our engagement shoot, hired a great second shooter for the wedding day, and rolled with all the challenges of a wedding day (on her birthday!) with ease. We are lucky to still be in contact with her and truly enjoy her company. Such a beautiful human, with a stunning, artistic eye.

She has a special and unique way of capturing moments that many don't notice - peoples' authentic and raw emotions. The moments that shed light to the ambiance and feeling of the room. Not only is Brynna an amazing photographer, she has a genuine, calming spirit and is extremely easy to work with. She is great at understanding your vision and is always open to new ideas! Seriously - Brynna was hands down one of my favorite parts of our day. Thank you for capturing moments that truly make me feel like I'm reliving that day again! I am forever grateful for your work.

Hey there! I’m Emma. I’m a sassy, sarcastic redhead and also a complete sap. To keep it short, I value relationships and experiences above nothing else (although some would say I have a serious West Elm and pizza addiction as well). I love reminiscing and think some of the best nights involve sharing a bottle of wine with old friends and laughing about all of our past adventures (while planning new ones too!). When I think about it, I know I was meant to be a wedding photographer - because I admire your relationship, understand how important this journey to marriage is for you two and understand the importance of documenting it.

Emma is not only the sweetest and funniest human being I have ever met, but made it sooo easy and fun during our sessions. As a photographer, it is extremely difficult to find someone you like, let alone trust enough to photograph your wedding but we have now had three sessions (sunflower portraits, engagement photos, and our wedding photos) with Emma and they have all turned out INCREDIBLE. Stop looking for a photographer, you can’t get better than her.

Choose Leah for your wedding day! She’s friendly, makes the process easy, and has a wonderful eye! Leah saw a stump washed up on the shore next to our ceremony site and reccomended we take some photos with it. I had to climb down a small slope in my huge dress and heels to get to it and it was SO worth it. Those photos are my favorite from that day. I would hike anywhere for a photo if she recommended it! She is a true artist. She made our day feel like art and I am so grateful. She also took the photos for a couple of my friends’ weddings and I can confidently say she doesn’t miss! 10/10!

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.

I so thoroughly enjoyed the whole process of working with Loren for our wedding. From the initial consult, I felt comfortable and connected. As someone who doesn’t love being in the spotlight, Loren made me feel at ease during our wedding day and captured everything we hoped for.

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were disappointed by many of our vendors on our wedding day (a story for another time), but McKenna was an absolute bright spot! She was wonderful to work with - she remembered the priorities we discussed before our wedding day, and was great at rolling with all of the unexpected parts of our day. The images she produced are absolutely stunning! We're so happy we decided to work with her. Overall, her aesthetic is beautiful, and she is kind and thoughtful to work with. Highly recommended!

When I first started looking for coordinators, I had the opportunity to speak to several different individuals. Alissa was able to stick out among them given her amazing personality and strive to build relationships. From day one she was committed to every detail and going above and beyond to help me in every area needed. She was always just a text or phone call away throughout the year and always managed to make time for me. As we got closer to the big day, she made sure every little detail was in order and made sure we got things done, even in the midst of all the crazy! Come day of the wedding and I truly could not have imagined a better team. Alissa and Regan MADE my wedding. They made sure everything went smoothly and tackled any issues I was aware about and not aware about. I was taken care of all night and it was quite obvious their number one goal was to make sure my husband I were happy. Our entire family and friends had nothing but great things to say and have asked for their contacts to recommend to everyone. Needless to say…. Grant and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Sweet Bliss Media!

Denis Reggie

Atlanta, GA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves San Marcos, CA for additional fees

With a warm heart and lifelong passion for capturing poignant moments, Denis is one of the most recognized and sought-after photojournalists for weddings of any size anywhere. Master of being everywhere yet nowhere to be seen, he quietly surveys and documents the scene often from the sidelines. His authentic and touching wedding photographs reveal a loving spirit with sincerity and depth as no staged photograph can. He discovers people at their relaxed best without prompting or posing, unaware of his camera or mission. He views himself as a witness and historian on hand to discover and document heartfelt wedding day moments.

Denis Reggie is not only an incredible wedding photographer who takes stunning photos, but he is also a wonderful storyteller. He captured spontaneous moments and expressions throughout our wedding weekend that truly tell a tale of great joy and beauty, feeling and fun. And he did so while being unobtrusive yet omnipresent. He also has an eye for the iconic, with photos that take our breath away every time we look at them. His albums are gorgeous — his layout and sizing of photos are artful and striking. Even many years after our wedding, Denis worked with us to complete our wedding albums (our life had gotten in the way!). Denis and his assistant Steve were the utmost professionals, yet I never got the sense that our wedding was just another wedding/job for them. Other photographers whom we had contacted before reaching out to Denis made us feel like they were doing us a favor, yet Denis — who has a greater reputation and far more talent — was professional, warm and kind. To us, Denis turned out to be more than a wedding photographer — we regard him as a very wonderful and integral part of our experience. We recommend him most enthusiastically!

I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy? I believe in capturing the big moments, but the small moments too. I believe in being true to yourself and true to each other. I believe in capturing true emotions, both good and bad. I believe that photographs are keys that can unlock the past after years have gone by, and that looking at the past is how we move towards the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for the stress-free, fair-priced, and perfect shot, Meghan Blanton Photography is your fit. Meghan managed to capture our special day better than I could have dreamed. She was extremely responsive, articulate and really listened to what I wanted. She was able to get all of the pictures we asked for (including our family and friend requests) and pictures I didn't know I needed. Every shot brought me back to that moment. Meghan's thoughtfulness radiates through her photos. One thing that really stood out to me and my guests is Meghan and her team blended right in with the wedding. Neither my guests or family ever felt like the photos were intruding on the important moments and that really meant a lot to me. Once it was all said and done, Meghan and her team wasted no time editing the photos and promptly sharing them to me via an easily accessible dropbox link. To this day, I can still access that link and share any of the high quality photos with my family. I will most certainly be contacting Meghan Blanton Photography in the future for her impeccable services.

Falling in love sparked a passion in us for documenting other people’s love stories and commitment towards each other.

We are based out of Sioux City Iowa, and available worldwide.

From the first consultation phone call I had with David I gained great confidence in him. He took the time to answer all my questions, and jot down my ideas. He wanted to learn about each of us in greater detail so he could capture our personalities in the photos. David didn’t pose us and make us feel like statues. He effortlessly caught candid interactions and each photo makes you relive the moment all over again. The high resolution in each photo is of the utmost quality and the quantity shared exceeded my expectations, too! David has been an absolute gem to work with and I’d recommend his services to anyone.
