There are many reasons couples choose not to have a “traditional” wedding, and the beauty is that you can make it anything you want it to be – and that’s also why I care so deeply about making sure every couple I work with knows that their day is important, beautiful, and deserves to be captured so you can look back on every detail.

We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

If I'm not editing away at my apartment, I am usually at a coffee shop catching up with friends, taking my yorkies Lily and Tripp on a long walk, or traveling trying to find a new trail to hike. I am a recent newlywed so I know exactly what you're going through with wedding planning and I am so happy to help out all of my amazing Clients as much as possible!

I love my work so much because each day I’m reminded that capturing a moment in time reveals how rich our lives and our world truly is! I’m a romantic who genuinely cares about hearing all the details of your unique love story, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a joyous day. From capturing your beautiful and unique details, to your heart-felt emotions, I strive to preserve the true essence of each individual and each moment. I can’t pause time, but my goal is to tell your love story, and create timeless images that will have you reliving those precious moments of your special day for years to come.

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 :)

Hey y’all! You can call me Lyss, Lyssa, the wild woman with the clunky camera.. whatever floats your boat. You’re here for one reason and one reason only, to see if we are a good fit for your special day. Whether that day is hiking in mother nature with your partner or taking a deep dive into a self-love journey with boudoir (even as a couple), I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT! I’ve been in business since 2019 and am profoundly in love with love. I pride myself on creating an adventurous experience for the madly in love & capturing your candid intimacy.

Hi there! My name is Amanda and I am a lifetime photographer based in Fontana, California. By lifetime, I mean I am here to capture those milestones in your life, no matter how big or “small”! A little about me… I am a full-time Elementary School Counselor in Orange County. I am married to the sweetest and most supportive man I have ever known, Jake. We started dating in college and now have three furbabies. They are named Mini (Dachshund), Oatmeal (Dachshund), and Steven (Great Dane). Yes, you read that correctly and yes, it is as crazy and funny as you can imagine, haha!

I am a midwesterner, born and raised in the burbs north of Chicago who strives to capture moments that are gone in a second, impossible to reproduce, but with the help of an artist touch, can last a lifetime. I'm here to connect with you, listen to you, create with you, and provide a stress-free, comfortable atmosphere from start to finish. 3 things about myself, I have 3 dogs (yes, its crazy LOL), I am in loveee with Target, and coffee and mango froyo are my love languages.

We have enough stress in our everyday lives, and I refuse to add any more of it into yours. That's why I do everything I can to make your photography experience as stress-free as possible. This means answering your emails quickly, freely sharing all of my knowledge & expertise with you, and walking alongside you throughout your entire planning process.

Hello there! I’m Amy. My roots are here in the PNW, (Edmonds, Washington to be exact) but I spent most of my life in Texas waiting for the day when I could move my family home to the northwest. I have 5 sons (yep, 5!) and have to pinch myself when I think about my amazing family and this career that has taken my husband and I all over the world. I value experience and relationships over material things, and work mostly with couples who are planning smaller weddings or elopements. After 12 years and 300+ weddings, I’ve learned that connection and authenticity are essential to who I am, and the way that I work.

I am so Happy you are here! My name is Alice and I am a portrait and wedding photographer based in Northern Virginia - Maryland - Washington D.C. areas. To me, it has been a privilege to be able to connect with everyone that I had a chance to photograph. My goal is to capture those raw, honest, and authentic emotions so that twenty years from now, you can look back on these photos and still remember exactly how that moment felt. I hope we share the same goal and that I am the photographer you are looking for.

What's confusing? Let’s sit down for a discovery meeting and I’ll ask, listen, lay out options, and share suggestions. I want to learn about you. I'm on your team 100% before, during, and after your wedding. Bonus: I've shot 400+ practice weddings before yours and I absolutely LOVE what I do!

I’m Natalie, a Portland, Oregon wedding photographer. My passion is telling real stories, and I’ve been documenting weddings and families for over a decade. 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.

My name is Derrica and I’m 31 years old. Photography has been my passion since a child. Some days I still can't believe that I get to do this as my job. Photographs have the incredible power to make me feel happy, excited, reflective, proud, thankful, peaceful, and an abundance of love. I see something beautiful in everything and everyone. With a photojournalistic approach, my style reflects all of the emotions that your wedding day will bestow upon you and your loved ones. I love what I do and with my confidence and creativity, I’m sure you will too!

Hello there! I’m Karen, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of New York. I love photographing LOVE! Connections. The places we go, the people we meet, and the experiences we have along the way are what we remember most in life. 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.

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.

Hiya! I'm Courtney! I'm not your average photographer. I'm something so much more than that. From the moment you step out of your car and greet me to the moment you get back in your car and drive home, I'm there with you cheering you on, telling you how GORGEOUS you look, and making all those weird cute baby noises at your little one. I'm the one who stays up all night to make sure you get those images just in time to send out Christmas cards.

Since 2008, I’ve found myself as a professional photographer who strives to capture life, in all of its twists + turns, candidly. In addition to taking pictures, I am: the owner of The Made Fest, a handmade + vintage festival; in love with my husband; a co-founder of Smile Politely, a Champaign-Urbana local culture magazine and The Pygmalion Festival; a master gardener; an epicurean; and a mother. I am a feminist and a LGBTIAQ ally.
