Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

Stockton, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Wedding and elopement photographer specializing in film & digital photography and Super 8 videography, documenting love stories as they truly unfold. I thrive on capturing authentic moments and expressions that make people feel beautiful, confident, and valued. My approach is rooted in candid storytelling, preserving your day exactly as you experienced it, from the quiet in-between moments to the joyful, fleeting ones you never want to forget. Every couple has a story worth capturing, and my goal is to create imagery that feels honest, nostalgic, and deeply personal.

Saul did an amazing job! He was very professional, friendly, and made the whole experience comfortable. The photos came out so beautiful, and you can tell he really pays attention to detail. I’m very happy with the results and would highly recommend him!!

Meet Kathryn: I began my career as a wedding photographer almost 15 years ago, first working for a renowned Bay Area wedding photographer, and then officially opening Kathryn Lewis Photography in 2014. I loved capturing intimate moments, getting (maybe overly) excited about good light, traveling to gorgeous places, and helping set up the perfect timeline and obsessing about the details so clients’ wedding days could be seamless and stress free. Being able to do that for so many amazing clients makes this such a dream. I'd love to meet you!

Kathryn is the greatest! She really cares about every single client and giving them a unique and wonderful experience. I appreciate her individuality and that she really listens!

Kate Michelle Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,490
  • Serves Stockton, CA

From the moment we begin planning together, my process centers on trust and ease. I believe that beautiful imagery comes not from forced posing or rigid schedules, but from relaxed presence and genuine interaction — the fleeting glances, the laughter between moments, and the quiet exchanges that happen when people feel truly comfortable in front of the camera. Couples often describe my presence as calming, intuitive, and supportive, and I love helping even those with little photography experience feel natural and confident.

It is difficult to put into words how wonderfully Kate captured our wedding. Her professionalism and skill allowed her to take beautiful photos, but her presence and perceptivity guided her camera toward the most important, intimate scenes of the day. We were fortunate enough to have Kate with us for the full wedding weekend, as she got to know our inner circle of closest family and friends. She observed as hundreds of connections were made, countless laughs were shared, and documented the magic in those moments between our guests. Kate guided us through our camera-shyness and instructed us with her expertise on how to pose for photos. She effortlessly wrangled and directed our bridal party and families for a seamless, efficient photo session, somehow keeping us all on schedule. Our wedding was lighthearted and festive at times, as well as deeply sentimental and emotional at other times, and Kate's photos encapsulated all of it. We are so grateful for her, and couldn't have imagined a more well-suited photographer for the most special day of our lives.

As you can tell, sometimes choosing your photographer can be an overwhelming process. There are so many things to consider when narrowing it down to your perfect match. Of course, style and price are the main two, however, some couples forget that your photographer is the one person who is with you the most on your wedding or event day. That is why we offer complementary sessions to all our couples so we get to work together and create a bond. Instead of just being "the photographer" at your event, our goal is to capture beautiful images from your day and leave you with an experience that enhances your memories.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From start to finish, Wedding Times Film was an absolute dream to work with. They have an incredible eye for capturing not just moments, but emotions—every smile, tear, and laugh was documented so beautifully. The photos were beyond stunning—timeless, elegant, and so full of life. [Photographer’s Name] has this unique ability to make you feel completely at ease in front of the camera, which truly shines through in the natural and candid shots. Not only were they professional and attentive, but they also brought a calm and joyful energy to our wedding day, which made all the difference. We’ll cherish these photos forever and can’t thank them enough for perfectly capturing one of the most important days of our lives. If you’re looking for a talented, passionate, and reliable photographer, look no further—Wedding Times Film is amazing. Highly recommend!

George Street Photo and Video has one story to tell: Yours. With over twenty years of experience, our award-winning team has been lucky to capture thousands of weddings for our couples across the United States. Specializing in both wedding photography and videography, we offer affordable and customizable packages starting at $1295 that are designed to suit your unique vision and budget. We even offer a fun style test to help us match you with a photographer that aligns with the vibe of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with George Street was such a wonderful experience. They made everything about the process easy and manageable. From our very first conversation with them, they were incredibly friendly and amenable - willing to work with us regarding our budget and offered packages not based on how they could get the most amount of money from us, but on how their packages would help us execute our vision of the perfect wedding. However, where George Street really shines is in their team. We chose Jeremy as our lead photographer and he brought such a joy and passion to the photos that he took. We had chosen a rather unique venue for our engagement session (one without the best lighting to be fair) and he took such care in crafting each shot so that we both looked our best, but also popped against the background. You could tell while he was taking every photo that it was not about getting the next shot and moving on, but that he cared about getting the right shot for you. That kind of care extends to the rest of their team as well. Nora and Emily were incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. They responded to almost every email within 48 hours of sending and anytime we had a question about anything, no matter how small, they were more than happy to walk us through it either via email or by hopping on the phone. Their user portal for creating a wedding plan is also very user-friendly and was helpful in determining important moments to capture during the night as well as the best way to structure our wedding in terms of timeline. In terms of the actual wedding day, we had Mario as an associate photographer and Randy as our videographer in addition to Jeremy. Once again, all three made us feel like we were absolute stars. For Randy in particular, he was seemingly everywhere at once. If there was something happening on the dance floor or a moment of revelry happened anywhere, he somehow captured it. The process of receiving the photos & videos afterward was also much quicker than anticipated and they were stunning. We had such a hard time choosing what photos would go into the album. Overall, this was an incredible team to work with and if we were to do it all again, they would be our first choice.

I have photographed many different niches, many events, many families, many milestones and my *ROCK* will always be love.

Where do I even start? Nicole has been capturing my family’s moments from day one. While I didn’t use her for my wedding (and I wish I had), she’s been there for every other milestone since. We’ve done maternity photos, Mother’s Day photos, family shoots, Christmas photos, as well as marketing photos. Nichole has a photography style that leans towards documentary. While she is great at capturing posed photos, the real magic comes when you aren’t even expecting it. Nichole‘s photography style allows you to be present in the moment with your family or friends or whoever you’re with while she’s behind the scenes documenting it all. When it comes to turnaround time, I’ve never had to wait long. Nichole is also very good at communicating, she will never leave you on read. And if weather or some other obstacle arises, she’s very proactive when it comes to finding a solution. I cannot say enough good things about Nicole. The only negative thing for me is that she no longer lives in New Jersey. California you are so lucky to have her.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Working with Focused On Life Photography LLC was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Brayley and her team were a breeze to work with from start to finish, and they always got back to us right away when we had questions. She has an incredible eye for capturing those special moments that matter most, and somehow knew exactly which angles made us look our best. The photos turned out jaw-dropping and we couldn't be happier with how everything came out. If you're looking for a photographer, Brayley is honestly the best choice and we'd give her a 10/10 without hesitation.

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—honest, emotional, and deeply meaningful. While I love beautifully decorated weddings, I’m equally passionate about photographing celebrations that are simple, imperfect, and real. Your florals don’t need to be full, and your venue doesn’t need to be luxurious. What matters most is your connection. I’m especially drawn to noticing the most touching moments in any setting—your emotions, your interactions, and the quiet love you share.

I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them! Her talent, patience, and warmth made this experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not just pictures, but emotions and memories that last a lifetime.

Laurie Ann Martin and her team are a fun and professional group to work with. She is detailed oriented and cares not only how the pictures turn out but also your experience. My eyelash came off and I wanted to cry at city hall but she not only made me happy but went to Walgreens to get eye glue lash! That is the type of all hats on board she and her team are. When they had down time before the reception, they even offered to help out non-picture wise wherever they could! She also sends little gifts and surprises but I won’t spoil it. There is one BIG surprise she does at the end but I won’t spoil that either lol. She is fortunately not shy about whether she understands whether things are communicated correctly to her, especially when it comes to the albums - I was quite detailed oriented in what I wanted in my albums and how they were designed _. Her and her teams services are of an immense value and my husband and I had ALOT of fun shooting and videoing with them. Also, the video was really great, really a must. Thank you Laurie and your team!
