Just a little backstory on how I got into this business. When I was a child, I loved taking pictures of everything. And I mean everything! (I get that from my mom.) Now my dad didn't share this same joy as me because back then it was all film and every snapshot I took...he knew he had to pay to develop. We love to look back on that time of my life now and see where it got me. Its a funny story to reflect on, but so rewarding to see a joy turn into a passion and that passion turn into a career!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Skylar is a fun, efficient, and detail oriented. As a planner, having a photographer who is on top of their game is a wedding day godsend! Skylar easily makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera with posing while capturing the small inbetween moments. Having someone capture your wedding day the Skylar does is worth the investment!!

Highly highly recommend Amanda! We got her information from our venue and I am so glad we went with her for our wedding. My husband and I were nervous about having our photos taken as we never had them done professionally before, but when we did our engagement session she told us exactly how to pose and what to do and they came out so beautiful and I still love looking back at our wedding photos, she captured the best moments. She even shot our newborns photos 10 months after our wedding (our honeymoon baby, lol) and she is a wizard with a swaddle blanket. Can’t recommend her enough!

I would never hire another photographer ever, seriously the best!

I'm a Las Vegas based professional wedding photographer, working with couples from all over the world, as well as a travelling wedding photographer. Along with adoring weddings, I'm a serious hockey fan, with silver hair, and a terribly awkward smile. When I’m not photographing people, I love photographing Lego Minifigs on location, Darth Vader being a favorite (and personal hero) but I like expanding my collection of character portraits. I have a wicked sense of humor, a weakness for Rom Com’s & Spanish red wine. In my personal time I work closely with a local dog rescue, as a foster home and photographer, helping find their furever homes.

I'm originally from East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania but I've lived all over the country and have finally landed in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. My personal hobbies include rock climbing, learning French, fine-tuning my espresso skills, and drinking the best wine I can get my hands on (yes, if you're getting married at a winery, I'm interested!). I've been photographing weddings since 2009 (that's 15 years!) and I'm still not even the least bit bored. Hell, I still cry at weddings on a regular basis. Staying emotional and in the moment is what allows me to capture the moments that matter most to my couples.

Rima just gets it! She captured all the moments, talked us through the awkwardness of posing and my wedding photos feel so genuine, no harsh or dramatic filters. Even at the same venues and locations, she doesn’t take the same photos. She’s incredibly creative and quickly got a feel for my style and the moments I wanted to capture. Rima was an absolute pleasure to work with, she was great with our wedding guests and I had such a wonderful experience that I jumped at the opportunity to work with her again - at my company’s holiday party!

Specializing in emotive and documentary styles, I aim to evoke feelings in viewers through collaborative shoots that align with my clients' visions. With a keen eye for beauty in everyday life, I meticulously edit each photo to stir the soul. Whether amidst the golden hour glow of nature or any chosen setting, I strive to create images that resonate deeply with viewers.

My husband and I celebrated our love together with family & friends in mid-October this past 2023 year with the best help we could have asked for. Iris Rose Photography offered a warm and supportive hand while capturing the most important day for us on film. We were truly grateful for her attention to detail when it came to helping iron the wrinkles out of my tula dress, time management, giving out helpful reminders to our loved ones on where they were needed in line up as well as how fast and slow to walk down the aisle. Our special day would not have gone as smoothly without this help. When we received our photos from our wedding day, we were in shock! The moments she captured and the color and clarity of all the photos were stunning! Thank you Iris Rose Photography! We are very excited to have our maternity and newborn photos done with you and look forward to seeing those masterpieces!

I began my photography journey in 2008 and have been shooting ever since! My love of music and travel initially took me to Nashville, where I studied under some of the best celebrity and music photographers in the business. The City of Music lead me to tour with Jesse McCartney and shoot some amazing musicians including Blake Shelton, Outkast, and the Backstreet Boys (a personal childhood dream of mine). However, the mountains were calling (as they say), and I ended up moving back to Colorado, my home state, in 2015 to begin my journey documenting love in all its forms!

I have had the pleasure of working with Piper in multiple capacities, and she delivers a 10/10 every time! She is a joy to work with for weddings in the way that she captures all of the details, big and small. Piper has a special way of making couples feel comfortable in front of the camera, and is so helpful when it comes to guiding for poses, locations, really anything you could need!

Hi! I'm a published wedding & elopement photographer with over 5 years experience under my belt. My vibe is romantic and earthy, and I've photographed it all from intimate, hiking elopements in a national park, to large, luxury 300+ guest weddings. My specialty is incorporating your location into your images, and really utilizing the natural colors and beauty surrounding us - wherever that may be. I love anything involving sunsets, a good golden hour, a cute puppy or baby to squeeze, and will probably cry along with you during all of your most sentimental moments throughout our time together.

I found Nicole kind of serendipitously on Instagram - she had commented on a post mentioning that she would love to shoot a wedding at our venue so I sent her a DM to inquire about her services. She was very attentive to answering all my questions and scheduling a call to discuss our wedding and her services. We found her pricing to be very competitive and edged out the other photographers we had been considering. We were excited her package included an engagement shoot and thought it was a good opportunity to build rapport and feel more comfortable having our photos taken before our wedding day. We live a few hours away from our venue and her location but she graciously offered to travel to us for our engagement shoot! We could tell she put a lot of effort into scouting out locations and making the most of our shoot, and she turned our photos around to us so quickly! It was just a few weeks before our wedding so it had us feeling excited and confident that our photos would turn out great. Our wedding day went very smoothly and Nicole was very organized and did a great job! She even came up to me during the wedding to let me know that we might want to reshoot some photos of my dad lifting my veil. I thought that was so considerate! Just like our engagement shoot, I could tell the time and effort she put into scouting out locations and getting all the photos we had asked for. There were a few photos on my shot list that we did not get to do, which obviously we had hoped to have, but I understand my wedding was a very short timeline. We were blown away by the sneak peeks we received just 24 hours after our wedding! And Nicole managed to turn our entire gallery around to us in just 3 weeks. We had friends who got married 6 weeks before us and they were still waiting on their gallery! The gallery is easy to share with friends and family, easy to download and well organized! We really appreciate Nicole for capturing our day so beautifully and giving us photos that we can look back on and love forever! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and hope to be able to use her services in the future to capture more seasons of our lives!

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Working with Harrison was probably the easiest part of our entire wedding. He built us a custom package for our less than normal wedding, and was super thorough in documenting our details. When we got the photos we loved how he and his second shooter were able to get lots of pictures of our family and friends, while taking some beautiful couple shots of the two of us as fresh newlyweds. You won't regret having him along for your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ok this review is SO overdue but it took us a bit to decompress after the wedding and we got caught up with married-life things in the interim. I wanted to make sure I took the time to properly sit down and write a thoughtful review for Stephanie. We got married last September on the 23rd in Kismet, Fire Island. I'm sure all my fellow fall brides of 2023 understand the feud we had going with Mother Nature, and let's just say despite all efforts and a potential disastrous beach wedding, Stephanie promised she would do anything in her power to not let our special day and weekend fall apart. When we met Stephanie, she had never been to Kismet before but was so excited at the thought of a destination-feel beach wedding close to home. Since we had already had done engagement pictures with another photographer prior to planning our wedding, she wanted to still do a shoot to get to know us and since her package included this engagement shoot she said she would also come to my welcome party the night before our wedding to shoot which was a great option. So flash forward to the Thursday before our wedding, a tropical storm was planning to make landfall on Saturday, our wedding day. We were frantically trying to arrange for our vendors to get to the island and our guests to stay on the island since the nighttime ferries would be cancelled while also coordinating a handful of other disasters the potential dangerous weather posed on our outside dock/beach ceremony and reception vision. We knew anything outdoors had become out of the question, and we decided to do a casual impromptu surprise ceremony for our friends and family on the ferry dock on the bay on what would have been the Friday night of the welcome party. We had lost control of so many aspects of our dream wedding weekend, we figured this was one way to take back some control and focus on the importance of sharing our marriage and commitment in front of our loved ones. When we told Stephanie this news the day before, she was SO DOWN and genuinely SO EXCITED. She captured the greatest shots for us that night, the genuine happiness on all our faces and even a sunset showed up. She kept the energy up and in tandem with my family/family friends efforts she promised to be there the morning for our formal ceremony/reception day and do everything in her power to make the day go seamlessly; and that she did. She arrived in full hurricane proof rain gear, with a smile on, keeping the energy going while reassuring me that everything would work out okay. She knew my anxiety over the chaos the weather had brought to my dream wedding on top of my already camera shy/'I don't like being center of attention' personality and never pushed me or my husband to do too much. She felt my energy without me having to speak. I am so grateful for all the effort she had put into our wedding, and I couldn't thank her enough. I would refer her a million times over again - when you hire Stephanie you are not only getting a photographer but a friend who is willing to go the mile for you and your happiness without questions asked.

I’m a small town girl living in the big city of San Diego. You know the saying, “Home is where the heart is?” For me it has two meanings. If home is a physical place, mine is the magical little town where I was born – Ojai, California. It is a place where people can breathe deep and feel the wholeness of their lives. It's a magical little valley of peace happiness. If home is truly where the heart is, then mine is my family. In 2016, I married my best friend and the father of our beautiful son and daughter. We are a squad of awesomeness and those three hold my heart in the palm of their hands.

Morgan is absolutely incredible! I knew she was the photographer I wanted to work with years before I even got engaged and I was so thrilled when she agreed to work with me. She is warm, talented, professional, and also makes you feel so comfortable.

She provided structure to our chaos (there was a lot of it), support and solutions to our issues (there were even more of those), and more importantly, helped me go pee when I had a giant wedding gown on. In the age of overly filtered pictures, she will show you beauty in the natural. She is a genuine person with great talent and a beautiful heart.

I have photographed over 400 couple's stories from Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, Palm Springs, Temecula, Albuquerque, Mississippi, and beyond.

Monica’s photography truly captured exactly what I wanted for my wedding day and I don’t even have all the pictures yet. I got married two weeks ago and she has been so quick to get my photos uploaded and I’m still receiving them. You can tell she takes the time to review them and make sure they are what you want. I wanted a timeless look as that is what she has provided. She is very thoughtful in the poses, she asks you your photo list to ensure you capture all the photos on your big day with all the people and moment you want them with. It’s been also nice to work with her. As a couple on your big day you don’t get to see all the things that you’ve been decorating or buying for leading up to the day. Her team captured everything to help us relive that day over and over again.

On the day of the wedding she is always calm, yet at the same time, directive, in a chill and friendly kind of way. She helps everyone relax and enjoy the day, which is a big thing considering the photographer is the person that the wedding couple is going to be around for the vast majority of the day. I know that even though she is a busy photographer, she delivers galleries pretty quickly, because she's showing me some of the galleries that I've shot with her as soon as she's finished with them. So if you're looking for someone who is going to solidly communicate with you through the whole process and then deliver your (quality) photos in a reasonable amount of time, she would be a good choice!

Hiring a Wedding Photographer is tough—I get it. You need someone who is experienced and professional enough to handle any situation. This could be a sudden downpour on your wedding day or seamlessly diffusing tense moments between separated parents during family portraits. Most importantly, they do this with grace, oftentimes without you even noticing. More importantly than the behind the scenes things, a great Wedding Photographer will handle the grandparents with charm and class, and be a little goofy with the kids to create timeless and authentic portraits of your most cherished people.

Chris was awesome to work with through the entire process and was amazing on the day of our wedding. I highly recommend him for all photography needs!

HELLO, I'M KIERA. Mom of three. Avid traveler. Tattoo enthusiast. Coffee addict. Always laughing. What do you do when you feel called to something, but don't know where to begin? Take a leap in crazy faith, and trust that you're right where He called you to be. Spending time behind the lens allows me to capture so many special memories, while also living in my purpose. I can't wait to have you become a part of this journey, and hope these are memories you will cherish for a lifetime. Let's make your 'remember when' moment.

My maid of honor recommended Kiera for our wedding day. She said “she wants you to know she’s new.” After looking at her work on Facebook I thought “she doesn’t look new, her work is awesome” so we, so to say “took a chance”. My goodness, it was THE BEST decision I have ever made. Her work far exceeded expectations. She was so easy to work with. She was on top of the planning and all the fine details. I could go on and on about how amazing she was, but I’ll just say this… IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER TO CAPTURE THE MOST PRECIOUS MOMENTS IN LIFE, CHOOSE ENDLESS AUTUMN PHOTOGRAPHY. From the communication prior to the event, the knowledge on getting the perfect shot, up to the editing, and the extremely fast album release, you will NOT be disappointed.

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

Mary was absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

My name is Helena, pronounced Ha-Leen-nuh (don't worry I get it all the time haha) I am a San Francisco native and ex-Silicon Valley techie who decided to take leap of faith (during the pandemic) to pursue my dreams of being a full-time Wedding Photographer. This journey has been SO wild, but I don't regret a minute of it. When you hire me, you hire not only a photographer, but a planner and a cheerleader as well ;) If you like dogs or cats, coffee (oat milk lattes FTW), thriving plants, outdoor adventures, dancing, and sunsets, I think we'll get along great ;)

Helena beautifully captured our elopement last month. Her photos are warm, natural, and full of personality. I don't think my husband and I could have been happier with how the photos turned out. We ended up taking formal wedding photos at the Palace of Fine Arts and some more casual couple portraits on Crissy Field Beach. The majority of the comments we got from friends and family were centered around how epic and awesome our photos turned out and how our photographer choice was a 10/10. Behind the scenes, she was an endless source of enthusiasm and encouragement, and gave us amazing posing tips and suggestions. Even prior to the big day, she meticulously spent time discussing outfits, locations, and logistics to make sure the day was perfect. We're so glad we were able to jump on the Helena rocket ship as her career as a full time wedding photographer takes off. After our session, our close friends were so impressed with our photos that they booked their engagement and wedding shots with her as well. We have no doubt that her accolades will pile up and she'll be a go to recommendation for our friends and family. Definitely book her for your engagement, wedding, and photo shoots!

Photography is something that we both have always had a passion for, and it wasn’t until we started to plan our own wedding that we realized we wanted to turn our passion into a career. Aside from photography, we love to spend time with our two dogs, Stella and Blaire. They are Australian Shepherds with HUGE personalities, and they are a big part of our lives. We are excited to start this journey and we can’t wait to become friends with you during it!

Katie and Dejan are incredible - do yourself a favor, and book them ASAP! From our very first phone call, I instantly felt comfortable with both of them, and could tell that working together would be relaxed and fun, which was exactly what we were looking for. I could tell as soon as we met them for our engagement shoot that we made the right choice. My husband and I are both deeply awkward in front of the camera, which usually makes us very unphotogenic. Katie and Dejan helped us feel comfortable, gave us all the cues we needed to get cute poses, and we had such a great session! It was so nice being able to meet them both and work with them prior to wedding day. On the wedding day, Katie and Dejan were INCREDIBLE. They kept us on schedule, and (when we inevitably got behind because the bridal party was running late in hair and makeup), they stayed calm and collected, got us back on schedule, and never once made me feel rushed or stressed. They even got us some absolutely breathtaking preview photos literally the next day! I could not be happier with choosing Caitlin Davis photography - would highly recommend them for your wedding, engagement, or any special event! They are the absolute best!

I cannot recommend Amanda/Salt Ivy Photography enough. When choosing a photographer for our wedding and for our post-wedding mountaintop shoot (instead of an engagement photoshoot), we wanted a photographer who had a unique artistic vision who produced dynamic and emotional shots. We wanted photography that really stood out and was not the run of the mill wedding photography. Most of all, we wanted photography that captured the authentic emotional connection we have and the incredible energy of our big day. When I saw Amanda's work, I knew she was the one. Not only was her work absolutely STUNNING, but she was incredible to work with. We had to change our wedding date 3 total times due to Covid... and even moved it out of state halfway through... Amanda was always flexible, understanding, accommodating and encouraging. The day of the wedding she was calm, loving, fun, and her energy really made the day even more special. Our post-wedding hike/photoshoot the next day was one of the most enjoyable parts of our entire wedding experience. Amanda is not only a phenomenal photographer and artist, but an even better human. 10000000000000/10 recommend.

She made sure to listen to our needs as we had a lot of special requests with friends and family attending. Her flexibility and patience made the whole experience one to remember. I am beyond satisfied with the quality of the images as well as the timeliness of receiving them!

Hello! My name is Destiny, and I love to have a focus on authenticity and joy on your wedding day. I am crazy passionate about my work and have been in the biz the last seven years! I have a huge love for coffee, people, and hiking. I'm here for you and your forever.

Working with Destiny was a great experience! She is energetic and kind, and it is obvious that her main goal is to bless others through her talent. Her editing aesthetic is dreamy and we LOVED our wedding album. The wedding didn’t go as planned, as it rained after the ceremony, and the situation made it hard to take photos with those who left early. However, considering the circumstances, Destiny was swift and eager to help us get as many family photos as possible. The pictures we received in our album were absolutely stunning! :)

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of having Danielle photograph my wedding last October. She has done my family’s photos for many years now, and she never disappoints. I knew that they would be amazing, however, she completely took my breath away. Not only is she such a pleasant human being to be around, she makes you feel so comfortable while taking pictures. She puts so much effort and love into her work and it shows every time. She captured so many amazing moments on our special day and I couldn’t be more happy with our pictures that we can now cherish for a life time. She is extremely professional and always has our photos back in a timely manner. I 100% recommend her as your photographer and we are honored to have her always there, to capture our special moments.

  • Serves Santa Monica, CA for additional fees

As a kid it never dawned on me that my obsession with polaroid film, disposable cameras and old family photographs would lead me to being a full time wedding photographer, but here we are and boy do I feel lucky. So who the heck am I? I'm the kid who sat next to you in your high school art class that was WAY too excited for our next project. I'm that friend who loves to laugh till they cry over a silly Parks and Rec meme. I love meeting new people (and will totally hug you the first time I meet you!) and I'll be the old lady who is pretty darn proud of every wrinkle that came her way from smiling way too much.

I’ve worked with Jenny several times in a professional capacity, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s so kind and warm and makes everyone feel welcome. Not to mention, she’s fantastic at what she does. You won’t regret hiring her for any reason.

We do Photo+Video Teams primarily - see more team samples on our "Videographers" page on Zola! I love "storytelling" in shooting and creative editing - creating not just a photo/video record, but adding sparkle, brightness and engaging polish to edits, design elements, fx and dialog/music mixing to build a more grand and exciting "mood" and story. It's great being part of "The Best Day Ever!" for most couples, along with learning and exploring new events, supporting my client's excitement and creativity and energy ;)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jeff and Jon did an incredible job with our wedding video! We had a destination wedding in Santa Fe and they did such a great job at capturing the day on video in a way that makes us feel like we're there again. Jon was there with us for the event and was pleasant to be around and very professional. He worked with our photographer on documenting our day. They had a very quick turnaround time of 2 weeks for editing and completing our videos. The music was based on our personalized selection. We had a very small ceremony so wanted to be able to share with those who couldn't make it and they did the best job we could imagine. The showcased the venues and details of the day as well as the bride and groom. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wedding videographer!!!

Waco, TX
  • Classic style

  • Serves Santa Monica, CA for additional fees

I am a traveling wedding, engagement, boudoir, family and portrait photographer - here to make your vision come to life. I have been a full time photographer for a little over a year now but, have been shooting for a little over five. Over the years, I have learned, grown, and perfected my craft as a photographer. I want my clients to leave our sessions feeling bold, confident, authentic, and ultimately having a blast while doing it. Posing for photos can only get us so far, so I create an environment for those genuine, raw, candid moments.

Kennedy Miller is an amazing photographer and person!! She is one of the BEST! She arrived on time and went straight to work getting all the small yet very important detail shots prior to ceremony and during the ceremony and reception. Kennedy and her team always make sure they captured all the special moments and even the impromptu ones throughout the day. As a wedding planner it’s hard to find a great photographer who is talented, easy to serve with and such a joy to be around. We highly recommend Kennedy Miller Photo to all our brides!

My portfolio is a canvas that dances with diversity – a rich tapestry woven from both film and digital techniques. Embracing new trends and technologies, I blend the nostalgic allure of film with the precision of digital artistry, resulting in a mesmerizing fusion that speaks to the modern soul. Whether it's the classic charm of analog or the cutting-edge allure of pixels, my work resonates with a richness that only true connoisseurs can appreciate.

Anna was an exceptionally on-point photographer who really cared about making our day special. We were very happy with the photos that came out, as were our chosen family and friends who attended!! She was very communicative, helpful, and engaging with us as a couple. She made sure that we were happy with everything and worked around our particular requests--she generated a specific schedule for us that made the day run smoothly and easily and I wouldn't have asked for anything better!! It was truly a perfect day. Would highly recommend her to all my friends! Thank you, Anna!!

Hi! I’m Patience! Thank you for checking out my portfolio! I am a destination photographer specializing in weddings and life events. I’m originally from Africa and a hopeless romantic who loves love. I am here to help you turn your vision into reality the way you want it no matter where it takes place.

If you’re looking for someone who will get the job done and go above and beyond, Patty is the one. She has a keen eye for detail and not to mention, her editing is close to true to color and is not over saturated. I absolutely love light and airy. I hired Patty because her photos were amazing! Can I say magazine worthy? Not only that, I have a tan complexion and my husband is white, I needed someone who could capture and edit both our skin tones the right way, which I feel like is hard for a lot of photographers. I’m so happy I didn’t turn out look orange or yellow. She definitely has a diverse portfolio which drew me in. Also, as a seasoned wedding professional myself, I can say Patty is very dedicated to making sure you get everything you asked for. She executes seamlessly, no doubt! Not to mention she’s so fun to be around, which is a bonus!!

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I live in Oregon with my husband and our two cats Clara & Leonardo. We love exploring the Pacific Northwest, but we've also been able to travel throughout the states and overseas.

t was so fun working with Naomi! We told Naomi we wanted a romantic classic look and that is what she delivered! She is able to capture things at your wedding that maybe you over looked or didn’t have time to see, which makes it little more special to look back at those photos. Naomi was exactly what we needed on our day. She is sweet, kind, and is caring to your needs. She makes your day less stressed cause she is all about having your day be fun and about you and your spouse! I highly recommend Northwest Hearts Photography!
