Savanna Sturkie Photo

Atlanta, GA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves San Rafael, CA for additional fees

I'm Savanna, a wedding photographer who specializes in non-traditional and laid-back days. My work is documentary style, and it is my intention that your photos allow you to feel exactly how you did when they were taken, years later.

Working with Savanna and having her with us on our wedding day felt like having a supportive friend and hype woman by our sides all day. :) We are absolutely over the moon with our photos, and cannot stop raving about Savanna to everyone! She captured the most intimate and meaningful details of our wedding day, and we have hardly been able to stop pouring over the photos since we got them. On a gray flood-filled weekend, the colors and joy of everything popped so well in her film and digital shots. Savanna has created memories that are so beautiful that we can turn them into actual art pieces to hang on our walls! She is a true artist and a rare talent, and working with Savanna was the best decision we made for our wedding. We are so thankful for her!

Kansas City, MO
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves San Rafael, CA for additional fees

My name is Jillian and I'm a photographer and artist in Kansas City My goal is to capture you. Every couple, family, person is different, and I want to make sure your uniqueness comes through in the images of your special days. My style tends to lean into rich colors and textures. Are you a couple that doesn't want to have a typical wedding? I'm a photographer that doesn't want to give you typical images! I always tear up at hand written vows. I love my partner and my two dogs Moonshine and Chosen One, and my cat Bucket.

Jillian at Youngbird Photo (j.guthrie_photo on Instagram) is such a true joy and delight to work with. Not only did she come to photograph our small May ceremony, but she photographed a first look photo session with us after we canceled the reception!! My dress was in covid lockup in May, so I wasn't able to wear it at the original ceremony. Jillian made sure that we had pictures of the dress, and captured a first look moment for us, and that will forever mean the world to me. She even came over to photograph the centerpieces that we had worked so hard on!! She makes people feel so comfortable and has such an amazing eye for what will make a beautiful shot. She is immensely talented and an absolutely delightful person. And bonus, she works with any budget. She truly believes that every couple deserves beautiful photos, and will work with you, whatever your situation is. Case in point, she's done our engagement photos, our small ceremony photos, and now our first look photos, and in every instance, she went above and beyond for us. I will recommend her forever, and still cannot completely put into words how much she and her photos mean to us!

I`m Anna, based in Reno, NV and I would love to travel to you! Instead of bragging about how amazing I am as a photographer and how long I've been clicking that button, I'll let my work do the talking!

Oh, and I absolutely love capturing people just being themselves and showing their love for each other in every possible way. It may sound cliché, but there's something magical about freezing those one-of-a-kind moments with my camera that keeps me going.

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

Booking Grace was the best thing we did for our September 30th wedding (besides getting married of course). We connected instantly... and that is speaking on her bubbly, comforting, and caring personality. My husband and I have never been in front of a lens prior to engagement photos & our wedding, and after seeing our photos you would think we were SUPER MODELS (not kidding). Her work is absolutely breath taking, 99% of my wedding photos look like they came straight out of a magazine... the other 1% she caught some of the BEST, hysterical, memories that came from lots of alcohol, pizza, and the dance floor which we are very grateful for. I rate her and the team she brought 20/10 and will be booking her again, and again, and again for all major life events we want pictured forever. BOOK HER NOW!

Hi! I'm Emily! Mom to 3 kids, two rats named Frodo and Sam and a bearded dragon. I like my couples like I like my pets - just slightly unconventional. Dress fluffer, timeline-keeper, family wrangler, prone to squealing over a perfect ray of sunshine- I'll dance with your grandma, cry during your vows, and make you laugh at inappropriate moments. You're a badass and deserve the space to express yourself and your love EXACTLY as you are, no holds barred. Say goodbye to not knowing what to do with your hands, fake smiles in photos, and stiff posing that *just doesn't feel like you*. LGBTQIA+ and looking for a safe vendor? I gotchu!

Emily did our engagement and wedding photos. She was easy going, flexible, professional, and helped us feel comfortable with her :) Our wedding happened right at the height of the covid pandemic and Emily was very accommodating in that unique situation.

Such a delight to work with Saumya! We did a fall couple photoshoot. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, other than a quick photoshoot during our wedding, we hadn't done photos as a couple before.

Every person has their own beauty and truth. I see it, understand it, then reveal it through my portraits. I search for the play of light and shadow to carve the image and tell the story of the day... your day... Your story.

SeaInk is our favorite photographer to work with! Hash is amazingly talented, and we always are eager for a photo gallery from a wedding with him. He is sure to capture all of the floral details that can sometimes be overlooked, and is so valuable for us, as florists to have. The experience in advance of working with him is also seamless. As a vendor, we are happy to see their photo timeline in advance of the day, and when working a styled shoot with him, the moodboards are dreamy, and executed exactly as we hoped for! The most valuable thing to see, is the true-to-life tones in the final imagery that are edited in an elevated way -- our favorite wedding photos are always from SeaInk.

Marissa shot our wedding and the photos she produced were top-notch. She also took our engagement photos and made us feel so comfortable (neither of us enjoy getting our photo taken). 10/10 would recommend!

Paige Kowal Photography offers wedding, elopement, engagement, lifestyle, family, newborn, & brand photography. We work closely with clients from Harrisburg to Philadelphia & beyond - including destination weddings. Paige has always had an eye for design. As a child, she would bring her ideas to life through fashion design sketches & dream-home floor plans, & she collected clippings from advertisements. Always with a camera in hand & an old nostalgic soul, Paige treasures the value of a photo - a moment held in time, passed down for generations.

Paige is a joy to work with and incredibly talented at what she does. She makes sure she understands your vision to execute it perfectly for your big day. I was recommended to Paige because I wanted direct flash photography with a vintage vibe. Not only did we get the best photos with a mix of editorial and candid, but she completely nailed the look I was going for and included some more traditional first look shots as well! My husband and I aren’t models by any means, but we felt totally comfortable to be ourselves the entire day because Paige (and her second shooter Mackenzie) made us feel completely at ease. Cannot say enough good things about Paige. You will be gawking at your photos the minute you get them!!

I got my first digital camera at 13 and spent the afternoons capturing flowers in our backyard; ever since it's been my dream to have my own photography business. Photography and writing were the two ways I expressed myself and were their own kind of therapy for me. And now, I use photography as a type of therapy for my clients. I believe there is a power in the vulnerability of being and feeling seen. So, photography is my tool to help others feel truly seen and celebrated. It's so important to make everyone feel this way, especially on their elopement/wedding day :)

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't recommend Hailey highly enough. She created such a comfortable, easy, and fun environment for us. She took our requests seriously and tailored the shoot to make us feel happy and confident. The photos were delivered to us very quickly after the shoot, and they turned out better than I could've ever expected. She is a master at capturing pure, genuine moments. Looking at them now stirs up so many emotions for us in the BEST way! Hailey is extremely kind, attentive, and skilled in her craft. I will never look anywhere else for a photographer!

My parents don’t have professional photos of their wedding. It’s ironic being that I photograph weddings for a living. Long story short, my Grandfather hired a distant cousin as their wedding photographer, his customer service was beyond subpar and pricing was vague. He eventually went out of business and apparently took the photos down with him. It’s a sad story but it is something that fuels my mission as a wedding photographer. To give my clients a memorable experience from the first Zoom meeting to the delivery of their gallery and beyond.

We had the best experience working with Nick (and Mackenzie) on our big day. I cannot recommend Nick Cruz Photography enough! All of our photos are so beautiful and exceeded our (high) expectations. We could not have asked for better photos or a better photographer. Getting married during COVID meant a lot of last-minute changes in plans and Nick was so supportive and willing to work with us to make sure we captured all aspects of the day safely. And he is so personable - we had a total of 13 people at our wedding, so it was a very small group, all immediate family, but he fit right in! He was super organized and had a shot list to make sure we didn't miss any typical wedding photos. His website for photo delivery makes it so easy to view/download photos and he got us some sneak peaks super fast. Overall, we had such a great experience with Nick and plan to use him for all other big life events that require photography! (He also did our engagement - those photos were amazing too! He worked with my husband to pop out of the trees and capture the actual proposal.)

Someday, years from now, someone close to you will ask about your wedding day - someone that may not have been able to be there, or a new friend or family member who you have welcomed into your life. As you sit on your couch and reminisce while sipping on a cup of coffee, rather than just telling them about your wedding day - I want you to be able to show them. Photographs have an amazing ability to freeze special moments in time. I want to do that for you.

Julia took our engagement photos and as soon as the session was over we knew we wanted her to photograph our wedding as well. My husband and I aren’t really big photo-takers so I was worried that the photos would feel awkward or posed. This was not the case AT ALL! Julia truly has so much fun and her energy is contagious!

I’m here to photograph ear-to-ear smiles, tight bear hugs, wild dance moves, and all of the fleeting moments that show us just how hard humans love one another. In the over four-hundred weddings I’ve documented, I’ve come to realize one thing: we hold onto memories and cherish photos because they allow us to remember a time when we were enveloped with a special kind of love.

I am so grateful to have had the pleasure to work with Natalie twice! The first time I met her she photographed my friend's wedding in Hood River and when I saw the wedding photos it truly felt like the representation of that day. filled with joy and love. After searching endlessly for a photographer i was recommended to Natalie twice and when we got to speak she asked such intentional questions about our love story, what photography means to us, and photos that mean so much to us. the conversation moved me and i knew i wanted a photographer that could capture the emotion and joy of that day.. and she was sure she did. She understood we didn't really want overly styled/editorial photos and wanted more time to spend with our loved ones. Our French-Mexican wedding was beautiful and I'm so grateful that Natalie captured such beautiful moments.

I specialize in weddings and boudoir. I view those two as the most personal and intimate types of photography and you should have someone who you can trust to be there for you and make the uncomfortable, comfortable!

Ashton is a pleasure to work with and always provides the best photos. She’s very accommodating and easy to work with. Goes out of her way to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

I’m Sabrina, an Austrian-South African photographer living in New York City. I shoot weddings, elopements and engagements — and as an avid traveler, I absolutely love shooting destinations. Raised between South Africa, Austria and Luxembourg, I spent long periods of my youth traveling the world with my mother. I grew up surrounded by the arts and chose photography as my primary creative outlet. I practice photography professionally , as well as continue to document the many people and places from my travels. I love to capture moments and tell stories in a captivating , creative and organic way.

We hired Sabrina to capture our wedding day, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, Sabrina was professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail. She worked closely with us to understand our vision and preferences, and went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the final photos. On the day of the wedding, Sabrina arrived early and captured every moment, from my bridesmaids and I getting ready, to the ceremony & party, & everything in between. The candid photos are some of my absolute favorites! She has a keen eye for framing and lighting, and her photos truly captured the joy and romance of the day. Most importantly - she made us (especially my camera shy husband) feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and the final photos were absolutely beautiful. Overall, I would highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer. Her passion for her work shines through in every photo she takes. Thank you, Sabrina, for capturing our memories so beautifully!

Hi I'm Patty, your wedding photographer. I am based in West Michigan and spend over 50% of my season servicing Detroit & Chicago couples. Along with servicing the Michigan and Chicago market, I have slowly begun to expand my territory to include destination work with places like Texas, Virginia, Florida and Spain. I serve couples who understand that this season is one worth being celebrated and remembered. The couples who embrace their family and their people however that looks. Most importantly I serve those who see these photographs as an investment into their legacy.

Choosing Patty to be our photographer was the greatest decision we’ve ever made! From the moment we met her to receiving our wedding photos, Patty was INCREDIBLE. She made a wonderful effort to get to know us before our engagement shoot. Not only is Patty a phenomenal photographer, but she has also become such a sweet friend - going as far to lend me her Hulu password so we could be caught up on How I Met Your Father together. I felt like she understood our style and matched our energy wonderfully. During our engagement shoot in Saugatuck, Michigan, I was insistent we went to the beach to take some photos. Little did we know it would be a nearly mile hike in the heat of summer to get there. Despite sweating our butts off, Patty had a smile on her face the entire time and was incredibly professional. The photos were breathtaking and exceeded our expectations. During our wedding day Patty was there for every special moment, big and small. We didn’t worry once about the photos because we knew we were in wonderful hands. We had about 225 guests and both have big families, Patty was able to manage all of us during our family portraits! Patty is such a genuine person with a remarkable eye and talent. We can’t recommend Patty enough to be your wedding photographer!

I have a passion for traveling and exploring the world, and my life is filled with a lot of laughter, incredible food and wine, and photo adventures with clients turned friends.Memories are such a vivid representation of our lives and capturing the spirit of each couple, family or individual in that sliver of time is an opportunity I am very proud to call my work.

Karen is an amazing photographer with an INCREDIBLE EYE! She captures moments and details that most people miss, but that everyone wants to remember. I worked with Karen at a wedding on the California Coast and was so impressed by her professionalism, warm demeanor and efficiency. The images from the wedding (and my florals) were stunning. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly, and can't wait to work with her again!

I love exploring the world! THAT is why I love capturing love stories from all parts of the earth. I was living in New Zealand for a few years when I met my husband, Tyler. He shares the same love of wild adventure as I do. Together we have taken roadies through NZ, Australia, Indonesia, West Papua, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea. We have been married for almost three years now and live in Denver together in a little apartment. You can find us flipping vans into campers, bargain hunting at the local thrift store, or literally anywhere in the mountains on the weekend.

We're beyond grateful for Lauren Pippin, who brilliantly captured both our engagement and wedding in Colorado this September. Lauren is a true artist, her creativity shining in every frame, turning moments into timeless memories. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. Lauren's infectious energy put everyone at ease, resulting in genuine, heartfelt moments beautifully documented. The way she weaves our love story through her lens is truly special.

We are partners in life and in business. We can't get over working together! We've been married over 10 years and have 4 beautiful kiddos together. Sam loves capturing wedding films and Grace loves wedding photography. We are goofy and love Star Wars, home brewing, and trying new things!

We love our wedding pictures and video from Sam & Grace! I encourage you to read the rest of this review, but before you continue, do yourself a favor and call to book Sam & Grace before someone else does. You can thank me later. Just like you, we were looking for a photographer and cinematographer to capture our wedding day. A family friend highly recommended Sam & Grace, who had used them a few months prior for their own wedding. We shopped around to compare prices. Their services were, by far, the best value. However, we received much more than a fair price; we had the pleasure of working with two great people. From day one, Grace and Sam went above and beyond the typical expectations of a wedding photographer. They laid out a process that helped manage the stress of our big day. They not only provided a timeline and details for pictures, but also helped coordinate other vendors and moving parts throughout the night. We had several touch point meetings leading up to our wedding. It sounds simple, but the logistics for our wedding were not typical. The wedding was held in OH, but the bride was in SC and the groom in FL. This just added complexity to our process. That said, Sam and Grace's expertise made preparations that much easier. We greatly appreciated all of Grace’s insight and suggestions to make sure everything went smoothly. They also took great consideration to listen to us and really understand how we envisioned our wedding day. And when our wedding day came, Sam and Grace executed! From the first picture of getting ready to the final picture for our send off, Sam and Grace were there. They were in constant communication with the event planner and DJ, helping to stick to the timeline and capturing all of our important moments along the way. However, most importantly, they made sure we were happy. I specifically remember when we sat down to begin eating. While Grace was snapping away, she noticed a slight concern on our faces. Grace came over, asked us what was the matter, and then took it upon herself to notify the event planner that there was a mistake with our food. Again, not her job, but one less detail we did not have to worry about. The venue quickly apologized and took measures to resolve the error. If you are not convinced yet, all you have to do is look at Sam and Grace's work. Oftentimes, couples have to hold their breath to see how their pictures turn out. That’s not the case with these two professionals. Just look on their Facebook page and Youtube channel. You will see that time and time again, they deliver. Actually, after all was said and done, and they had posted our pictures and video, my husband and I thought we should have paid them more than what they had asked! Sam and Grace under promised and over delivered. That said, if you are looking for detailed professionals, who have a gift for capturing special moments, look no further than this beautiful and kind couple.

My earliest memories of photography are from when I attended weddings at 5 or 6 years old. I would photograph everyone at these weddings with a small, plastic, film camera and loved every moment. That joy of photography and capturing beauty and love has stayed with me ever since. I have a better camera now, but I still can't wait to capture your love.

I have hired Tom to take headshots for me as a musician, as well as to photograph my engagement to my fiancee in August 2020. He is extremely talented as a photographer, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better for those jobs. He makes clients feel comfortable and beautiful, which gets them to look and feel their best for the photos.

I love telling wedding stories, first and foremost, through capturing moments. Your wedding is a one of a kind event from the location to your style and personalities, but it also includes a unique group of people that have come together to celebrate your union. On your wedding day I focus on capturing the love and laughter, the tears and joy, but also the energy of the party! When it's over I give you a gallery of images that will bring all those emotions back every time you pull them up on your computer, share them online, crack open your album, or walk past them on your wall.

When I think of Matt and MSW Photos, WOW comes to mind. They are incredibly creative and think outside of the norm. They take the time to get to know you and focus on delivering amazing photos you'll be thankful you have for years to come.

I support ALL clients and their right to marry who and how they choose.

It's important when looking for a photographer that you don't only like their work- you also jive with them personally. Gwen has a great eye for composition and detail while also being a great human and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Gwen!

My approach to photography is rooted in a desire to illustrate the emotions and stories of my clients in a way that reflects the honesty of their experiences. I adore capturing the uniqueness of each person I work with. It is by encouraging my clients to honor their story, their truest selves are reflected in these photographs.

Coming from 10+ years in venue management & wedding planning I've seen my share of photographers weekend after weekend. Let me tell you - it takes a special kind of photographer to have all the right skill set to be a good wedding photographer. Lauren is beyond that, she's great. She's personable, caring, professional, artistic, and can give you direction (this is huge) while capturing you, your mate, and your family. Her portraits are out of this world and her style is brilliant. She's in my top 5 of all time.

I don't know how, but Kaitlyn captured just about every moment to a "t". Even reviewing our photos, we caught so many moments we missed the day of. So grateful we had such a professional and well-equipped photog in our corner on our special day-- it allowed us to kick back and enjoy ourselves, and I'm *SO* glad we put our faith in her. One note-- when working with Kaitlyn, she'll ask you to fill out a survey before your event. I'm so glad she did, because it got us thinking about what our priorities were before our wedding day, and every single photo we could've wanted or asked for is there!

I fell in love with photography while traveling the world as a child. Years later, I tell the unqiue love stories of stylish, wanderlust couples, who are madly in love. I absolutely love photographing weddings and the relationships I build with the couples I serve. On wedding days you can catch me with two cameras on each hip making sure that every detail is captured.

I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Christian Nwuso Photography as her makeup artist for a client project. As a photographer, Christian proved her ability to be an asset to any client or project that she has worked on. Christian is diligent and extremely committed to her work. Her professionalism and organizational skills became apparent when we worked together due to an extremely tight schedule for the day. I witnessed how she was able to smooth out the “kinks” when scheduling delays occurred which allowed the day to run in a more efficient manner. Christian delivered proactive solutions in a highly stressful situation, which resulted in a positive response and work environment. Christian has demonstrated reliability, trustworthiness and has an excellent work ethic and passion for photography. I am constantly impressed with her dedication to her craft as well as her clients. I have witnessed her go above and beyond for them. In addition to these great qualities, Christian has displayed great enthusiasm and initiative; she has excellent people’s skills and has a very friendly and outgoing personality. I am sure that she will be a highly talented asset to any prospective client. Christian has an abundance of positive qualities and I respect her greatly.

I wasn't lucky enough to have Ariel photograph my actual wedding, but hopefully, you will be able to swoop her up because she is a gem! The testament to a great wedding photographer isn't just that they capture beautiful photos, but that they communicate and listen to you as a couple and make you feel at ease. Ariel is incredibly professional and makes sure she understands what you want out of your images, while also bringing her expertise and experience to capture those special moments that will bring you joy. You are in safe hands with Ariel if you're not comfortable in front of the camera or are afraid of looking awkward because she takes the time to help bring out that natural smile and loosen you up. I know this because I'm a self-proclaimed adorkable person who can get super awkward in front of a camera, and Ariel has a way of gently suggesting a better angle/shot or inspiring a more natural smile. She doesn't just click a button but is looking at the photo she is capturing to ensure she is snapping a beautiful image. Ariel also doesn't heavily treat her images with dramatic filters. She just brings out the beautiful colors and light of the day. If you want simply beautiful images, Lark & Lavender is the way to go! When you hire Lark & Lavender, you're not just hiring a wedding photographer but a creative artist who has a vision for capturing every beautiful and memorable moment of your day, plus she just makes you instantly feel relaxed and at ease which is essential on what can sometimes be a very stressful day.

I was born off the coast of Portugal, in the Azores Islands and raised in Cartaxo, close to Lisbon. Portugal was my home until the age of 19. I then moved to the US and have resided in Boston ever since. I enjoy the gorgeous seasons that New England offers an explorer like myself. My career started out in Graphic Design but at some point, photography found a place in my heart and soul, and I have been wandering the globe with my camera always in hand. Over the past decade I have been photographing weddings and events all over the country.

We were so lucky to have chosen to work with Pedro and Bindi for our wedding day! He was a true professional from start to finish - in the planning leading up to the wedding, Pedro was organized and prompt with communications. All of our details were loaded in his portal and it was easy to track and made us feel confident and comfortable we would have the experience & photos we wanted to capture the moment! He was a great presence to have with us on our wedding day and we can't imagine having done it with anyone else. Cannot recommend Pedro any more highly!!

As a wedding photographer by passion & an aerospace engineer by day, I bring a unique perspective to my photography. I am incredibly detail-oriented, hardworking, & I truly believe everyone deserves quality photos to look back on of special moments in their life. My goal is to deliver luxury, editorial images that capture the true essence of your love story. I approach each wedding with a fresh perspective, knowing that every couple is unique & deserves to have their story told in a way that is true to them. So count on me to take charge when needed & when I'm not - to keep on authentically & artfully documenting your day.

As a wedding planner, I've had the pleasure of working with a myriad of photographers, and Jenn certainly stands out. Jenn's professionalism and communication skills are top-notch, making the collaboration process seamless and stress-free. She is highly responsive, consistently keeping me in the loop, which is extremely important to the running of a smooth event. The wedding we worked on together required a high-degree of flexibility, and Jenn was not only capable of handling last-minute changes, but she did so with grace and a positive attitude. And all this before we've even discussed her work. Jenn's photos were beautiful, elevated, and did a great service to every design vendor who participated. She turned around sneak peeks quickly, and even provided the venue with some footage for them to use in their marketing. Highly recommend Jenn for any couple looking for film-quality photos delivered with positivity and professionalism.

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Colorado, but willing to travel anywhere with no travel fees in 2024! My style is very candid and photojournalistic. I aim to capture your day as it TRULY is. I'm there to document the big moments such as your first kiss and your vows, but also the little moments, like the way you two hold each other, or a glance from a family member that you don't get to see. I hope you look back on your photos and see things that you remember, but also get to see moments you might have missed.

I loved working with Hayley. As an Officiant, I know the importance of making a couple feel comfortable and heard. Hayley does just that for and with her couples. She is always willing to do whatever she can to get that perfect shot and be sure her couple is happy. It is an pleasure to work with her and I am always excited to see her wedding day photos.
