Awarded Best of Zola
Evan exceeded all expectations for our wedding photographer. He was communicative leading up to the wedding, asked for a pinterest board to get a feel for our aesthetic, and scheduled a walk-through of the venue where he shared his insight on best photo locations and times. He helped us schedule the ceremony to have the best lighting for the time of year, months in advance! This guy's a professional. Day-of he was like a ninja--we barely ever saw him, but in most of the guests' photos there he was in the background with his camera. And once the photos were delivered we knew he was everywhere, capturing us and our families and guests in the perfect moments. Thanks to Evan we have absolutely gorgeous photographs that preserved the magic of our wedding day. Cannot recommend him enough! Book him now!

Casey Addason Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Santa Cruz, NM

I photograph and film weddings across New Mexico, from the adobe chapels of Santa Fe to the sprawling desert landscapes of Albuquerque. My approach is documentary and cinematic. I focus on real moments, honest emotions, and the kind of light that makes a frame feel timeless. Every couple gets both photo and video coverage, so nothing from your day is lost.

We cannot recommend Casey enough!! He was our photographer for our engagement shoot and for our wedding. Casey has the perfect balance of being professional while still keeping things fun and light. His photos are beautiful and he has an extremely fast turn around time (we received our engagement photos that same night and wedding photos two days after the wedding). He also is very responsive and would answer our texts within the same day. Everyone we talked to after the wedding raved about how fun and fantastic Casey was. He truly captured the joy of the evening. Thank you so much, Casey!! - Kendall and Liam

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

Hi, I’m a wedding photographer passionate about capturing love stories through timeless, heartfelt images. With an eye for detail and a love for natural moments, I ensure every couple feels comfortable and radiant on their big day. Let’s create beautiful memories together! 📸✨

Awarded Best of Zola
Looking at the pictures feels like looking at love itself. Every smile, every hug, every kiss just shines through so clearly. I honestly thought I’d feel awkward having a camera around but I didn’t even notice most of the time. The way they captured little things, like my mom’s proud smile or my dad tearing up, makes my heart so full. The video is something we’ll show our kids someday, it’s that good. You can literally hear the laughter, the voices, and it just feels alive. What I loved the most is that they didn’t just capture us as a couple but our whole family’s love and support. It feels like they cared about every detail, not just the big “wedding” shots. My husband keeps saying it was the best investment we made, and I totally agree. We’re going to look back at these forever and always feel that love again.

From the very first meeting, I could tell they genuinely cared about us. They asked questions, listened to what we wanted, and made us feel so comfortable. On the wedding day itself, they felt more like friends than just professionals. They made us laugh, guided us without being bossy, and captured everything so perfectly. The photos are breathtaking I still can’t believe that’s us in them. The video is so touching and beautifully edited that I cried multiple times. Everyone keeps complimenting us on how amazing it all looks. I honestly think choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. They didn’t just give us pictures, they gave us memories we’ll carry for life.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Isaac, we knew we were in the best hands. He has an incredibly calming presence and a natural way of making you feel comfortable, which meant we were able to be fully present on our wedding day. Our Sonoma farm wedding unfolded with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception, followed by music and festivities in the barn. Isaac captured every moment with such artistry and intention. The images feel effortless yet elevated as every frame tells a story, from quiet, emotional moments to the joy and movement of our guests celebrating into the night. The photographs from our first dance in the barn truly took our breath away. The way Isaac used the natural light, textures of the wood, and atmosphere of the space made the images feel cinematic and timeless. Working with Isaac was seamless, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day exactly as it felt. The images are beautiful, emotional, and full of life. We are endlessly grateful for his vision and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dreaming of a wedding that feels both authentic and artfully captured.

We just got our wedding photos back and OMG I’m in love. Every image tells a story, from getting ready to our last dance. It’s like flipping through a movie of our lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
Felisha is one of the most kind, thoughtful, and insightful photographers who you could possibly hope to work with on your big day. In our first phone call with Felisha, it was clear that she was looking for a connection with her potential clients; she wasn’t trying to sell us her portfolio, and she wasn’t trying to gauge our budget. If you’re looking for a storyteller and someone who wants to build a meaningful connection with their clients, look no further! We wanted a partner in our photographer, someone who could look beyond the standard wedding portraits and find those special, candid moments that we would be missing among all the distractions of the day – and Felisha delivered. From start to finish, we felt like Felisha had our backs and was looking out for our best interests. She listened to us and gave us whatever it was needed on our big day at that moment – whether it was relief from the stresses of the wedding day timeline or a break from the business of our reception. When it came time to review the gallery, we were blown away by the details she captured. It was incredibly special not only to see the beauty captured in the moments, but the feeling we got in our hearts as we relived our wedding weekend. It’s a feeling we hope to hold on to for as long as we can, and Felisha truly helped to make our vision a reality!
