Awarded Best of Zola
Eivan's photo and video services were very affordable and were a major reason why we went with them. I think the photos we received turned out very well and captured many of the amazing moments that we had at the wedding. The service we paid for only included one photographer and one videographer but they were both very attentive and made sure to be where the action was the entire day. Overall, the experience was positive and for a bride who was more focused on living through the experience of her wedding, Eivan's did a good job of handling the stuff you don't really want to think about.

But hey, don't let my current location or specialties prevent you from reaching out, I am always eager to travel and experience new places and people.

Awarded Best of Zola
Morgan is an exceptional photographer with so much talent and care for her craft. From day one, she was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and organized. Working with her was so easy and straightforward. She told us exactly what she needed from us, and she was always prompt with her communication. We loved working with Morgan for so many reasons, but her thoughtfulness, sincerity, and flexibility are particular memorable. Especially with all the chaos that comes with the wedding, it was refreshing to have Morgan be in charge of our photos, because she kept a cool demeanor and was easy going, but prescriptive. Beyond her professionalism and personality, my family, friends, and I are absolutely stunned by how beautiful our photos came out. The photos were creative while maintaining timeless elegance. Morgan's expertise with outdoor photography was perfect for our venue because we had a lot of natural sunlight come through our space since we had a lot of windows. I truly cannot express how thankful I am that Morgan was our photographer. I wish we could have another vent just to have her do more photography for us! Her turn around time was extremely reasonable as well!

Hi! I'm Brayley, owner of Focused On Life Photography LLC, a Full-Time, Published, Destination Wedding + Lifestyle Photography business, & I would LOVE to be your wedding photographer! Since 2023, we at FLP LLC have been focused on capturing all of life's precious milestones in a natural, earthy, classic & candid style. From your first inquiry, to your wedding day, & to hopefully many more milestones in the future, we are here to make your photography dream a reality in a way that feels authentic to you. With us, you don't need to worry about things like how to pose -- all you need to do on your day is smile & relax! We'll take it from there.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.

I’m Kirstin! An emotionally driven, film-forward wedding photographer based in the desert Southwest. I work with wildly-in-love couples who want their wedding to feel like them: artful, offbeat, deeply intentional. I photograph elopements and micro-weddings with a storytelling lens- capturing not just how your day looked, but how it felt. My work blends digital + 35mm film to preserve the honest, unposed, heart-full moments in all their textured, tear-filled, windswept beauty. My couples tend to be nostalgic, a little nontraditional, and full of feeling. If that’s you- you’re in the right place.

Awarded Best of Zola
We met Kristin at a June 2025 wedding where we provided the flowers, and we were blown away by her work. Her photos are stunning - full of emotion, joy, and all the little in-between moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. She has such a gift for capturing the real feel of the day. As someone who works with a lot of wedding vendors, I can honestly say Kristin is a true gem. If you want memories that feel timeless and beautiful, she’s the one. Wholeheartedly recommend - 10/10!

In 2021 I quit my day job to pursue my long time love of wedding photography full time... and it's extremely safe to say I have no regrets! I've met the most incredible people through this job, and it fills me up knowing I can give what feels like the ultimate creative gift. I come from a small Illinois town with a large extended family and a circle lifelong friends who might as well be blood. My community, the people I love, and the little things that bond us together mean everything to me. Let me help you celebrate you and yours!

I think I could write a whole novel about how incredible Andrea is. Setting photography aside, she is a GEM of a human being. So thoughtful, caring, and lights up any room she is in. On our wedding day, she made us feel calm, supported, and that we could lean on her for anything. She is easily one of the best photographers in the valley. She brought along an extremely talented second photographer that also calmed any nerves we had. Extremely professional, had amazing communication which included resources and guides and delivered exactly what we were looking for in terms of photos. They literally brought tears to our eyes in how beautifully she captured each detail. The best decision we made in our wedding planning process was hiring Andrea. She is an artist and is worth every penny and MORE. I’m lucky to have had Andrea as a photographer and I’m even luckier to be able to call her a friend.

When I'm not doing photos I'm singing/karaoking, going on hikes/nature walks, playing board games with the fam, watching movies/binging shows, listening to music, and doing anything outdoors! I'm also a total foodie, avid reader, and love animals. Fun Fact: My favorite weddings to do are outdoorsy, nature filled, boho, romantic, modern, elegant, or adventurous weddings! Also, heads up I will fangirl with you over your dress!

You don't have to know what to do with your hands. You just have to show up.

My gift with the camera is capturing the beauty of the moment. I love telling stories through pictures to keep memories alive, using the click of a shutter to make time stand still. I was inspired to become a photographer when I was young, before the days of digital cameras and cell phones. My eye for photography was first developed along side film, and this fascination set me off to see what I could do with light and lenses. The images you see today are the results of my long, passionate love affair with the camera, developed by life's most precious resource: time.

I photograph with the understanding that one day, these images will become part of a family’s most treasured history. Long after the day has passed, they will hold the light, the emotion, and the quiet beauty that words cannot. My approach is rooted in presence—observing with care, honoring what unfolds naturally, and preserving the fleeting moments that often matter most. I believe photographs should do more than document how things looked; they should return you to how it felt to be there, surrounded by love, meaning, and connection.

She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which is NOT easy) and was such a calming presence on our wedding day - she had our back through it all. She captured everything so naturally — the big moments, the small details, and all the in-between emotions that made the day feel so special. When we got our photos back, it honestly felt like reliving the day all over again and all the emotions were felt through each photo. Beyond being incredibly talented, she is kind, organized, and just genuinely wonderful to work with. Choosing her was one of the best decisions we made, and we’ll treasure these photos forever.

Whether you are throwing a massive get together with all of your friends and family, or putting together a smaller, more intimate wedding day, no day will come close in comparison. I have always loved capturing weddings in a documentary fashion. I don't do super posed photos but instead I like to capture moments as they happen. I don't lay out intricate patterns with bobbins, ribbon and invitations, but instead photograph the small details in their true and simplistic form.

She was creative and knowledgeable in her approach to our unusual wedding venue, capturing the day in an authentic and natural way. Elizabeth provided helpful prompts that put us at ease in front of the camera, as we are not natural photo people. She was also more than willing to try different ideas to make our photos unique and special. One thing that was really important to us was ensuring our guests felt included, so we asked Elizabeth to photograph all the couples at our small wedding. She expertly coordinated this, and our guests were thrilled to receive the special photos to take home.

Weddings are fleeting, but photographs are forever. My name is David, and for over 20 years, I've been capturing moments that outlive the cake, the confetti, and even some dance moves you swore you'd never show in public. I didn’t just fall into photography—I grew into it. My first wedding was in 1991, with a camera that weighed nearly as much as a toddler. Since then, I've photographed numerous love stories, each as unique as the couple themselves. From vineyard vows to backyard bliss, I’ve learned that every wedding is its own world—and my job is to preserve it in the most authentic, heartfelt way possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first interaction with David at DA Erickson Photography, we were impressed by his prompt, exceptional, courteous, and professional communication style. The quality of his work was gorgeous, bright, and airy, and the value was fairly priced. We were especially grateful that he included our son in our engagement photos, despite his dislike of having his picture taken. David went above and beyond to capture all the special moments of our wedding day. We would highly recommend David to everyone looking for a talented and personable wedding photographer!

I’m Zach Beazer, and I photograph weddings exclusively on film. Before that, I cut my teeth in live music and portrait photography—also on film—where I learned to capture fleeting, genuine moments. Over the years, I’ve documented more than 200 weddings, each one with the same care and intention I had on my very first roll. I believe your wedding photos should feel personal, timeless, and true to you—not just a checklist of posed shots. My goal is to listen closely to what matters most to you, then create an honest, artful film gallery you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Zack and Kirsten were absolutely amazing to work with. From the first time I reached out, they scheduled a call to speak personally with me, rather than just email or text. They communicated well and worked with us on what we wanted to see in our wedding photos. They are more "fly-on-the-wall" style and were so relaxed and easy going the day of, we barely noticed they were there most of the time. I am so excited to see our pictures! We also chose videography as part of our package and Jacob was amazing as well!

Working with Sara Bishop for my late-September wedding in Scottsdale was an absolute dream. I was initially drawn to Sara’s fun and funky aesthetic and her ability to capture candid, genuine emotions over stiff, posed photos. That was exactly what I wanted—and she delivered a million times over! Looking through my photos feels like is like reliving my wedding all over again. Sara managed to capture every special guest and moment in ways that showcased their personalities and the incredible vibe of our day. Every time I look at them, I find a new favorite—it’s going to be so hard to decide which ones to display because there are just so many amazing options! Beyond the photos, Sara was a joy to work with every step of the way. Before the wedding, she sent proactive emails asking for our family shot list and other photo requests, which put me at ease that nothing would be missed. On the day itself, she brought a detailed timeline and kept things moving quickly—it was a very hot day so we were hoping to get our outdoor photos done as quickly as possible and Sara made that happen. During the reception, Sara and her assistant blended seamlessly into the party, capturing all of the energy without being intrusive. Sara delivered our highlights promptly, and the full gallery arrived about six weeks later. Her website offers some great options for purchasing prints, which I can’t wait to take advantage of in the new year. If you’re looking for wedding photos that are full of fun, candor, and raw emotion, I cannot recommend Bish enough!

Heyyyyy! I'm Amber Kirchner, a Phoenix based wedding photographer for couples who want fun and authentic wedding photography. I believe in marrying your best friend, laughing until you cry, and capturing the genuine moments of your wedding day. I am there to be a partner in the planning process, get pumped about the personal touches of your day, and help you feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. When I am not making magic with rad couples, I can usually be found hanging out with my husband (and bff), Josh, and our little one, Juniper, getting my boots dirty, or snuggling with my pups.

Amber was absolutely amazing to work with! She photographed both our engagement shoot and our wedding, and she was timely, professional, and delivered exactly what she promised. Photos were one of my top priorities—I really wanted all the little, meaningful moments captured—and she truly delivered. We are beyond happy with how everything turned out. Sunny Arizona can be tough to work with lighting-wise, but she did such a great job finding the right spaces and positioning us perfectly, especially for our large group photos. I can’t recommend her enough!

Pereira Productions is a photography and video business base in Peoria Arizona and San Francisco Bay Area California. The owner Freddie Pereira, is a professional photographer who has been in business for more the 20 years.

From our first conversation, we knew Pereira Productions was the right fit for us. They stayed in touch throughout the planning process and showed up on time on our wedding day, which let us focus on enjoying the moment instead of worrying about anything. Their photos captured all the little details we didn't even realize we wanted documented, and their creative eye brought our vision to life in ways we didn't expect. The final gallery exceeded what we imagined, with each image thoughtfully composed and beautifully edited. We felt taken care of from start to finish, and their professionalism made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We can't recommend Pereira Productions enough to couples looking for photographers who truly deliver.

Capture Your Legacy was incredible to work with for our wedding in Maui, Hawaii. From the moment we connected with them, they were warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. They truly lived up to their name by capturing every precious moment in the most breathtaking way. The photos are absolutely stunning! Looking through our gallery feels like stepping back into the most incredible day of our lives. The video is cinematic, moving, and flawlessly edited. We’ve watched it more times than we can count and every time, it brings us right back to that moment. What makes Capture Your Legacy stand out even more is who they are behind the camera. Kind, thoughtful, and truly passionate about their craft, they didn’t just document our wedding they told our story with heart and artistry. If you’re getting married in Maui (or anywhere) hire Capture Your Legacy. You’ll be so incredibly glad you did!
