The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Awarded Best of Zola
With all the decisions required in planning a wedding, finding and orchestrating a million different vendors was turning out to be an extra complication. So, when we came across Weddings Unlimited and saw the packages they carried, providing the DJ, photographer, videographer and more, we were practically sold. But once we looked through their portfolios and myriad party options, we were thoroughly convinced that they were the ones we needed... and I must say that Weddings Unlimited did an incredible job! Everything regarding the available packages was clearly explained and laid out for us during the introductory meeting, and all our options were given to us, with no pressure to upgrade or choose add-ons we might not actually want. Once I got into the planning, I will admit that I was somewhat overwhelmed with the whole process of preparing the timelines, song selections, photo shots, even special items like flashing dancefloor, photo booth, etc. The options were all incredible, and reasonably priced, but also somewhat daunting at first. Thankfully, our Weddings Unlimited Account Managers were all extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable! We had 3 different managers over the course of the preparation process, but each was well-acquainted with our case and was able to assist with all our questions and accommodate our schedules, etc. It took a lot of the anxiety out of the process, as they each assured me that I was on-track for getting everything completed. Additionally, once all our information was entered into the wedding app platforms, it really provided a lot of clarity to the timeline. Our DJ and our photographers were also especially amazing! Our DJ, because he went through the whole reception with us, pinning down what kind of music selections we wanted. He indulged us with our special "choreographed" numbers, and he even suggested a slight change to the ordering of events when there started to be a lull in the party, and it really helped keep things moving smoothly. He was so great, he took requests, and he also played all the songs we had asked him to play. Our photographers were amazing because they were so cool, friendly and professional. They arrived early, let me know when they were almost there. Then they stayed very low-key and out of the way until I was ready for them. In the meantime, they photographed the dress, the rings, set up all their equipment and scoped out perfect spots all over the venue for each of our shoots, and our first look!! Honestly, I wasn't really expecting them to do all of that, but they totally nailed it. We also just looked at our preview photos, and they are STUNNING! Exactly the style that we were looking for, and so beautifully set up and captured. Both the portraits and candids look equally amazing. The photographers were so calm and patient, explaining what they wanted to do, asking questions about the ordering of events to make sure they captured everything, but also staying out of the way. For the most part, we were hardly aware of their presence at all, but when it came to organizing the shoots and poses they were completely on top of it!! Several of our guests also commented on how competent and professional the photographers were. In sum, working with Weddings Unlimited was an overall great experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone! Their exceptional talent and service really helped to make our wedding a fun and beautiful success!

Ali Cushing Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (35 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Santa Maria, TX

My name is Ali Cushing; a NY-based photographer working in a blended documentary and editorial approach, emphasized with a cinematic method, and a personalized, true to life editing style. I am honored to be entrusted with depicting genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizing precious memories. I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.

From our first conversation with Liepina Photography & Videography, we knew we had found the right fit. She was incredibly responsive to all of our questions and made us feel at ease every step of the way. Just five minutes before I walked down the aisle, I spilled coffee all over the bottom of my dress—but she jumped in to help clean it up and even promised to edit out any marks that showed in the photos. Her pictures turned out drop dead gorgeous and were absolutely worth every penny. She has such a kind heart and made our day feel so special.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I without a doubt did the right thing by hiring Jones Media and choosing both Regina (photographer) and Kevin (videographer) to shoot our vow renewal at Paddlefish at Disney Springs in Orlando, FL. They both brought the energy and the hype, and they have the absolute best personalities. They were incredibly professional the entire time, and I had no idea that they had never worked together before my event! They collaborated seamlessly, bouncing ideas off one another and making everything even more perfect. They honestly didn’t feel like hired vendors—they felt like guests we invited who were having just as much fun as we were, while still staying completely on task. To top it off, they are complete lifesavers. The night before our renewal, we hit a major hiccup. Due to a last-minute policy change at our Disney resort, our third-party vendors were suddenly not permitted on the property. With no other choice, I had to cancel our resort reservations late at night and move everything back to my parents' timeshare. I immediately messaged Kevin and Regina about the last-minute location change. The next morning, they both showed up right on time and completely ready to go. Because we kept our original timeline, the new location meant we were a little farther away from the venue, but neither Kevin nor Regina ever made us feel rushed. We just pivoted, and they went completely above and beyond—even staying a little past their scheduled end time to make up for the chaos the night before. In the Disney world, we call that Pixie Dust, and they definitely brought it with them. If I had to do this all over again, I’d choose them again and again. I can’t wait to see how the final photos and video turn out. Thank you, Jones Media!

Love is a wild ride, just like your wedding day will surely be. Soak it up, it’s going to move fast and be filled with magic. My work is to document all of it, with a little finessing here and there. Your wedding photos will mean more to you as time passes and thus my goal is to create graceful, timeless images of you and your loved ones. As a wedding photographer, I am emotion-focused. My job is to capture all the smiles, the tears, the laughs, and the romance of the day in its entirety.

Awarded Best of Zola
I would give Linka 20 stars if I could. She is incredibly talented and the entire process was so smooth. I originally saw some of her photos while researching elopement locations on Reddit. New Orleans had been on our list and the photos sealed the deal! She responded to me right away and scheduled a phone call to see if we were a good fit. She also sent us questions to answer about us as a couple, what we were comfortable with, and what exactly we wanted out of our day. The day of the wedding went perfectly. Linka and Eyoel had us walk around the neighborhood after our ceremony and got so many cool shots that we never would have thought of. We couldn’t have asked for better pictures of our elopement! Also, she’s really, really cool.

Awarded Best of Zola
There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Chelcie. From day one, she brought so much heart, warmth, and care—not just to her work, but to every interaction with us. It never felt like we were working with a vendor; it felt like we had a friend by our side, and that’s something we’ll always treasure. Chelcie came highly recommended, and now we understand exactly why. From our first call about the engagement shoot, her calm confidence and genuine passion for her craft stood out. She never overcomplicated things like so many others do—everything with her felt smooth and effortless. Choosing her as our photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Chelcie consistently went above and beyond. She stayed true to her creative vision while embracing everything we hoped for. She listened, guided, reassured, and made us feel seen and supported through it all. On the wedding day, Chelcie (along with Sarah and Jeremy!) was a total rockstar. She came fully prepared, found the most beautiful locations, followed every request, and wasn’t afraid to try new things to get the perfect shot. She brought such a sense of calm and control—exactly what every bride needs. The 24 preview photos alone have us and our families raving. Chelcie captured exactly what I had dreamed of my whole life—even when I wasn’t sure how to put it into words. She just got it. We already can’t wait to see the full gallery (and to print hundreds of them!). Chelcie isn’t just an incredibly talented photographer—she’s someone who made our wedding feel even more magical. We’ll be forever grateful.

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

From the moment we booked MoonTide Media as our wedding photographers, their communication was easy and they always responded quickly to our questions. Their dedication, professionalism, and engaging style put us at ease throughout the entire wedding day. The team made sure I had everything I needed, including a detailed timeline and shot list, which not only helped them but also helped me stay organized and relaxed. The final photos captured all the special moments of our wedding day perfectly. We are thrilled with the quality of MoonTide Media's work and highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented, attentive photographers. These are some from our Engagement shoot as we are in process of getting wedding photos back.

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

From the moment we booked Fox & Fig Photography for our wedding, their communication was phenomenal and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Their work is simply gorgeous - exactly the style we were looking for to capture our special day. On the wedding day, they made both my husband and I feel at ease, even though we are a bit awkward in front of the camera. They provided excellent guidance on posing and helped us look our best. Fox & Fig was incredibly supportive and patient with us as a nervous couple. We are thrilled with the sneak peeks of our photos and can’t wait for the whole product! I can NOT recommend Fox & Fig enough.
