Making a decision on your wedding photography is deciding how your wedding day will be remembered for a lifetime. With my love of weddings, my YEARS of experience, together with my my photojournalist candid style, mixed with my beautiful lighting style; I will tell the emotion of your day in every photo I take. From the smallest details of getting ready, until the cake is smashed, and all the joy and tears of the day in between will be moments captured and passed down to your children and for generations to come. I would love to be chosen to be the one to take the photos that you will hang in your home forever.

Joy was AMAZING from the first reply to me about availability for my wedding date to getting me a good handful of pictures only FOUR weeks after our wedding so we could send out thank you and Christmas cards with wedding pictures on them. Joy kept in contact with me leading up to the big day and knew everything I was looking for. Her and her second photographer Deena kept everything smooth the day of and did a great job with the rowdy men we had in the wedding party ha. I am blown away at the quality of the photos and they are so much better than I expected! I highly recommend Joy for your wedding. You will not be disappointed!!

Taylor Dewey Photo

Haleiwa, HI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA

I am a lover of love and adventure. I am a pretty down person (I free dive with sharks so if that doesn't say something...) I moved to Hawaii in 4 hours notice and quit my corporate job to chase my dreams and here I am! I'm a bit of a minimalist like to think I'm pretty fun. I'm an ocean conservationist and use my skills to also educate people about human impacts and ways to make shifts in our own lives in order to help the planet. I am really big on quality over quantity. I would rather deliver a handful of WOW photos over a ton of average photos to fill a number.

Taylor Walston is considerate of those around her, kind, and efficient in her own work. She is easy going, yet confident in what she is doing and leads well!

  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA

Hi! I’m Kristen a portrait & Wedding photographer based in the Bay Area. I am married to my favorite person since March 28, 2015. But we have been together for 15 years!! I love love to laugh and I love making people laugh, which is why I love photography so much! I love spontaneous trips to anywhere new and love any movie with Rachel McAdams.

Kristen is the best. From the start, when I first reached out to her about an engagement session and shooting for our wedding she was a pleasure to interact with and very responsive. I appreciated that she was upfront with her pricing and clear about what was included with each package. This was definitely not something I saw when reaching out with other photographers. We booked with her and had our engagement session with my now husbands two kids and our new dog, to say it was chaotic was an understatement but she was so nice and accommodating about it all. She made friends with my husband and made both of us feel very comfortable in a situation that isn’t so natural for us. Fast forward to our wedding, by this time we felt like we were friends with Kristen and her husband. They were an absolute delight! It’s 2 weeks after our wedding, we are in LOVE with our sneak peaks and we just had dinner with friends that were at the wedding and they had the best compliment for Kristen and her husband. They said they were amazing, the best photographers make you feel like they aren’t even there but still capture all of the important moments, and that is exactly what they did! The last thing I will mention is that I have had experiences with photographers that can be pretty intense and a little over the top which was something that never made me feel very comfortable. Kristen was the perfect balance between being approachable but also making sure we got all the shots that we needed. We will absolutely be working with her for all of our photography needs in the future!

Jamie English Photography

5.0

Sacramento, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA

Hi all! I'll be honest, I've never loved writing bios. I'd much rather start up an email or hop on the phone with you and get to know each other in a more personal way! But until then - my name is Jamie and I've been in love with photography most of my life now (over 20 years!) and in business photographing weddings, families, and non-profits for 7 years. I'm married to the sweetest man, spend my days playing with the cutest babe, and love to travel and spend time with family and friends any chance I get. Studying art inspires me, reading ignites my curiosity, and experiencing other cultures gives me life. I hope I can get to know you too!

We found Jamie by a sheer stroke of luck - referred through another wedding photographer whose prices were WAY (way way) beyond our budget. From our first communication it was apparent she’s such a genuine and loving person - in addition to being an incredible resource on all things wedding-planning related. We actually used Zola’s wedding registry based on her recommendation! At the last minute, we decided to scrap the wedding planning (deposits be darned) and elope instead. Rather than balking, Jamie jumped at the opportunity to shoot the elopement and even served as our witness! She spent all day with us and shot hundreds of beautiful, high quality photos which she delivered in just a few weeks time. Since then, we’ve had her shoot our engagement photos (after the elopement!), maternity photos and annual family photos. We even gifted our mom a photo session for her 50th birthday. Each experience with Jamie has been so special - she puts us right at ease and captures the intimate moments in between. We can not recommend her highly enough!

Salem, MA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA for additional fees

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

Caroline is not only a professional through and through - he is a delight to be around! Working with her on a wedding last season was seamless and FUN. She made the couple, the entire vendor team, and all guests feel so comfortable. Her approach is laid back with the right amount of guidance and the result is exceptionally beautiful and authentic photos. Her deliverables are timely and timeless - I promise you'll love every photo. I can't recommend Caroline enough to any couple who is looking for romantic and authentic wedding photos and a photographer who quickly becomes a friend!

We are a collaboration of photographers and editors bringing together unique ideas and electrifying energy. We are eager and excited to work with couples on one of the most exciting days of their lives!

Mark and I are from Brooklyn, NY. We were looking for a photography company to capture our wedding day. I came across Reflect Studios online. I loved their candid style of photography. We emailed back and forth to for several weeks before we pulled the trigger. I love their work but wanted to make sure they had the same vision that Mark and I did as well. They arrived in New York the morning prior to the wedding and came to all of the pre-wedding events. Our photographer, Sian, was amazing to work with. We strayed away from the posed photographs as much as we could and let Sian photograph the day as it unfolded. Our wedding day was perfect and the images really reflect that. All of the photos that we received were absolutely beautiful.

Desirae is creative, communicative, thoughtful, ... and of course, her photographs are STUNNING. We cried when we saw the first look photos. We have received so many compliments from our family and friends. We are so thrilled to have worked with her and would do it all again.

Elizabeth Yanna Photography

Newport News, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA for additional fees

Hey there! I am Elizabeth, the owner & head photographer of Elizabeth Yanna Photography. I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

Working with Elizabeth is amazing. It’s no wonder why all of her couples love her! She’s so much fun to be around and in tough situations, can figure out a quick solution very calmly. Elizabeth is super creative and has a keen eye for detail. Just book with her, you won’t regret it!

Charlotte, NC
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA for additional fees

Life is full of little moments that all add up to make one big story. The story of YOU. These little moments are the ones that matter the most, and the ones that you can look back on with a smile. On your wedding day, these moments unfold into the story of one of the most important days of your life. From the tears streaming down your face as you embrace your mom before the ceremony, to the goofy smile that your partner gives you after shoving cake into your face, to the feeling as you drive off newly married with the love of your life, feeling like you could shout from the highest mountain or sing at the top of your lungs.

Hannah was the easiest person to work with! She’s got a great personality and her work speaks for itself! Her editing style is why I chose her, very natural! She will capture your day flawlessly :)

Hi, I'm Bridget and I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Upstate New York. I'm always searching for a love story to tell and an adventure to experience - combining the two is what I am all about! Every couple's story is unique and beautiful and I am so honored that you have considered me to document your best day!

Bridget and Mark are absolutely amazing. I was really struggling to find a photographer and Bridget came highly recommended by my wedding coordinator. As soon as we spoke, Bridget calmed all my nerves. We first met at our engagement shoot and it was wonderful. Bridget met us at Chimney Bluffs State Park and gave us something to do. We went for a walk and built a fire. The resulting photos were stunning. Fast forward to our wedding day and again Bridget and Mark we amazing. Calming nerves, blending in and capturing the most perfect moments. Photography is an investment and really the only thing, besides your memories that carries on the day. Bridget is worth every penny and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Cristina and Kiersten captured our wedding day perfectly and we couldn't be more happy with the end results!
