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 

5.0

  • 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

Working with Portraits By Sean was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise. The team of two photographers and a videographer was amazing, capturing so many special moments that will forever stay with us from our wedding day. We were especially grateful that they were able to capture our private final dance, which means the world to us. After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family. I honestly can't say enough good things about our experience with Portraits By Sean - they exceeded our expectations in every way and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories they've preserved for us.

He worked so hard on the day of our wedding to get the best shots, and was very kind and helped us a lot with organizing order of events. He had great ideas for poses and was very mindful to get all the pictures we wanted with family members and bridal party. And even better than all of this, when we got the pictures, they came out amazing!! It’s very clear that he put a lot of hard work into making them look incredible.

As the maid of honor, I spent the whole day with the bride, and they captured every special moment. The photos of us getting ready, laughing, and hugging are some of my favorites ever. The video is incredible, it tells the story of the wedding so perfectly. They were so patient with all the chaos and made everyone feel relaxed. Even the little candid moments of friends dancing and laughing were captured beautifully. They were professional but also fun to work with. Watching the video made me tear up, it’s like reliving the day. They truly made the memories last forever. I couldn’t be happier!

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first consultation I knew I was in good hands. They were organized and explained the whole process clearly, which really put me at ease. On the wedding day, they blended in seamlessly and yet somehow managed to be everywhere at once, catching moments I didn’t even realize were happening. The editing of both the photos and the film was next-level, so polished but still natural. I was amazed at how perfectly they captured our personalities and the atmosphere of the day. When I showed the video to my family, everyone was in tears within minutes. I’ll never stop watching it. This team made sure I’ll have memories that look and feel timeless.

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
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

I’m Felisha, an Award Winning - Published New England Wedding + Portrait photographer with the honor of capturing love stories and cherished moments across New England since 2013. Photography isn’t just my career—it’s the way I connect with people, turning clients into dear friends and fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me soaking up life with my high school sweetheart, our beautiful daughter, and our two chocolate Labradors. My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our goal for wedding photos was to be transported back to our wedding day - more of a storytelling style than formal portraits. Felisha totally nailed it, and somehow managed to capture some extra magic in there too. Leading up to the wedding, Felisha was great at helping us feel comfortable with her, and we’re usually camera shy! We felt like we made a new friend! We weren’t planning to do a “first look”, but after how much we loved our engagement photos we decided to add that element to our wedding day as an excuse to get more time with Felisha and have some more Amazing portraits. During the wedding, Felisha and her second shooter were totally professional and unobtrusive - we didn’t notice them doing their thing, and neither did our guests. She was fun to work with, super on top of everything, and the results speak for themselves. We’re already dreaming up other life events that we might want to have professionally photographed, as an excuse to work with her again!
