Parma, OH
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Swannanoa, NC

**We are new to Zola but not new wedding photographers.** Banker Creative is a small business consisting of myself Joe, and my wife Ashley. We are a Husband + Wife Creative Team that specializes in documenting weddings. We call Ohio home, but we are grateful to have the opportunity to continue to capture weddings all over the country. So far we have worked in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Utah, Virgina, West Virginia and Washington DC. We can't wait to visit more states and experience new places!

Cannot recommend Joe Banker Photography and Videography enough! We hired them for our wedding and received a free engagement shoot in our package. My husband and I are very nervous and uncomfortable with our pictures being taken but Joe and Ashley immediately made us feel comfortable and confident. Our engagement pics were STUNNING! Because of this, we ended up extending our wedding package to include our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Joe and Ashley were part of our entire wedding weekend and were one of our favorite parts. They were calm, extremely professional, constantly being flexible with weather and lighting, and so accommodating to my husband and I and our entire bridal party. They were so unbelievable that we received texts and calls from guests about how appreciative they were of Joe and Ashley - and this was BEFORE our wedding day pics even were released! Needless to say, our pictures and videos from our wedding weekend were perfect. Joe and Ashley have a keen eye for beautiful shots and what works for each couple. Book Joe Banker Photography, we PROMISE you won’t regret it! They are worth every cent and will bring so much joy to your special day and marriage for years and years to come.

I have been a Winston-Salem wedding photographer since 2007 and it has given me a lot of experience to be able to guide clients through their wedding day and if needed help them prepare a timeline for their wedding that runs effortlessly through the day because of our planning beforehand. I love shooting film and the beauty that it creates, it has made me slow down and appreciate and look for the little moments. I strive to capture emotion and small details as I document the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we got married, there was no question as to who to use for our pictures. We looked around at a few other photographers, but nobody could offer the attention to detail, the eye for just the right moment, and the impressive turn around/response time like Becky. She was so easy to work with in helping us to capture the best moments from our best day. We will forever treasure our beautiful pictures! I would highly recommend Becky 10/10.

The Narrative by Jarrod Rigby (Photo + Video)

Venice, CA

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Swannanoa, NC

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

Met Nicole while working at a wedding in February 2024. She was very kind to our staff and not in the way at all. She allowed everyone to enjoy the party without blocking views or being rude. Yet managed to do her job with a smile the whole time! She is very pleasant!

My goal is to capture and display that love and happiness in it's most raw and authentic form!

It’s always a great experience every time we work with Jordan! She did the photography for our engagement session, my bridal portraits, our wedding, and even a Christmas mini session of us and our dogs. She’s great about telling us what to do so that we get the best pictures possible, because I am not very good at knowing what to do when being photographed. On the day of the wedding, she had a clear timeline for us and made sure to keep things moving so we were able to get all of the shots that we wanted. We’ve always been so happy with the quality and style of the pictures and she always gets them back to us as quickly as possible. We can’t wait to work with her again!

My philosophy is simple... I am here to tell the story of the day you married the love of your life. I want to document the excitement of you getting ready with your best friends, the look on your mother's face when she sees you in your dress for the first time, and the tears your father cries during the father - daughter dance, and that "Oh my God, we are really married?!" look of joy on your faces as you walk down the aisle as a married couple for the first time. I will pose you and guide you when necessary, but I believe when you are focusing on each other and really soaking in those moments --- that's when the magic happens.

Megan's photography skills are simply unmatched. From our engagement session to our wedding day, she effortlessly captured the essence of our love story, creating timeless memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. During our engagement shoot, Megan made us feel comfortable and relaxed, allowing our personalities to shine through in every photograph. When it came to our wedding day, Megan exceeded our expectations once again. She effortlessly blended into the background, capturing candid moments and genuine emotions with an artistry that is truly remarkable. Megan's photographs tell the story of our day with authenticity and grace. She went above and beyond to ensure that every shot was perfect. Megan's passion for her photograph is evident, and it shines through in every photograph she takes. She has a gift for capturing the beauty and creating images that are both breathtaking and full of meaning. We are beyond grateful for her talent, dedication, and professionalism, and we recommend her to anyone in search of a photographer who will capture their most precious moments. Thank you, Megan, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

My husband Kevin and I were looking for an elopement photographer in Cary, NC. It was a challenge to find the right person as we needed someone who's bilingual (Spanish and English). Candy is a wonderful person and photographer. She made us feel so comfortable, specially my husband who is ex-military and is a little bit of an introvert. I am so thankful for her talent as she was able to capture the perfect moments. The quality and artistic style of her photos are out of this world.

I am from a small town in North Carolina. I grew up being in front of a camera doing pageants and modeling. I know what it is like to have no direction at a photoshoot and leave disappointed. I strive to never make anyone feel this way when they leave a session and certainly not on your wedding day. I coach you and help pose you so that you do not feel or look awkward. Photos are not only about how you look, but also the memories that go along with them. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me hanging out with my husband and two kids.

Awarded Best of Zola
It took one session and I knew Stephanie will be my family photographer for life. She creates magic every step of the way. Her genuine excitement during all stages of the process provides a level of trust, confidence, and authenticity that make her clients feel like family.

From start to finish, working with Skyler was an absolute pleasure. Not only is Skyler an amazing photographer, but she also have a remarkable ability to capture every moment flawlessly. Skyler's attention to detail is truly impressive. Every shot was meticulously composed, ensuring that each precious moment was beautifully preserved. Whether it was a candid moment or a posed shot, Skyler knew exactly how to capture the essence of the moment. What I appreciated most about working with Skyler was her laid-back approach. Despite the importance of the occasion, Skyler's calm demeanor helped create a relaxed atmosphere, allowing everyone to feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. If you're looking for a photographer who not only delivers stunning photos but also makes the entire process enjoyable, look no further than Skyler. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a talented, detail-oriented, and laid-back photographer.

We're Giuliana, Brian, and Lane of Halifax Hill Studios! A photography trio based just North of Raleigh: we love photographing weddings, engagements, family portraits and everything in between! Giuliana and Brian, the founders of Halifax Hill Studios, are married as of Fall 2021! Lane is a good friend of Giuliana and Brian, who just recently joined the Halifax Hill Studios team. Most of our wedding packages include a second shooter, so we tag-team throughout wedding day to provide you with the very best service and amazing photographs.

We knew after speaking to Giuliana on the phone that we wanted to book with her. Our wedding was at the Victorian so we knew she was the expert on places for photo and how the space worked. She is such a fun (and cool) person and she worked with such a peace and ease on our wedding day. I felt like as soon as she arrived, the day was just full of fun things! She gives clear yet inviting direction with poses (we as a couple and individuals definitely liked having someone direct us in posing so we didn't just stand there awkwardly). I never felt like she was bossing us around and she asked several times if there were additional things we wanted photographed or groups of people. Giuliana made us feel right at home in front of her camera and our pictures are INCREDIBLE. I cannot speak enough to her patience and ease with family photos, portraits, and other vendors. I felt like she had quite the challenge with all of our portraits and things going on but she handled it with such ease and it truly flew by. We actually ended up with extra time to be alone during cocktail hour which we wanted but I was never sure we would actually get it with our photo list, but she made it happen! We also had Giuliana come up to us in DC for our engagement shoot which was so much fun. We had a blast shooting at the monuments and she handled the people and weather changes with such an ease which took a lot of stress off of us!

Our team prides ourselves on being professional third-wheels on your wedding day. We are perfect for those who thrive on love and connection, and are looking for bold and purposeful imagery. We have 2 wedding associates, 2 family photographers, and a husband and wife videography team

Maddy was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the moment we connected with her, we knew she was it. I had searched high and low for months, after seeing so many washed out, boring photos - Maddy's photography was an absolute breath of fresh air. Her work was full of life, love, energy, emotion and beautiful colors; which I knew was exactly what I wanted! Once Maddy spoke with us on the phone, she felt familiar and comfortable, like an old friend, to which she TRULY did become someone we can consider a friend. Maddy was there for us with whatever we needed through the entire planning process... She is impeccable with her communication, and whether it was questions, moral support, or just a lighthearted pick me up - she ALWAYS was there for us. Her process was also very easy, straightforward, and her questionnaires and blog posts cover everything your and your spouse might need to know! Leading up to our day, we didn't get to physically MEET Maddy until the day of our wedding, to which she showed up obviously completely over-prepared (which my Type A appreciates beyond a reasonable doubt), excited, and ready to go with us! The INCREDIBLY warm hug she gave both of us just reinforced what we already knew - she was meant to be with us on our big day! Maddy kept us laughing, happy, AND she ran THE BEST interference lol. She is a great reader of emotions, situations, and even pulled me (Alex) aside at one point to have a cool down outside because she knew I was a bit overwhelmed by my family. Through the ceremony and reception Maddy and her assistant were GREAT! We got SO many compliments about both of them from our guests - noting that they were SUPER stealth when they needed a shot! Maddy also has an incredible eye, and her vision for photos is next level... She was able to direct us through everything and if you need yourself a hype girl - OH SHE IS IT!!! She’s also an absolute BOSS and will take control of a situation *if need be,* which was also important to us.. She made group/family/bridal party photos quick and painless which was SO needed, and also got a TON of fun shots through the night! Seeing our shots come to life was spectacular, and when she sent us the sneak peaks we were absolutely FLOORED.... And then seeing our full gallery!? Stunning. Just truly extraordinary. We cannot stop staring at our wedding photos. We share them any chance we get, and so many of our friends and family have asked us how they could use Maddy for their photography needs. Anyone we show our photos to is absolutely taken aback by them, and truly, I think the relationship we created with Maddy shows through in our photos. We were comfortable, excited and genuinely happy! Maddy made our emotions, happiness, and visions come to life through her photos - she is WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT! We truly can’t wait for Maddy to be in our life through all of the changing seasons and new chapters.

My husband and I got married in 2021. We had everything planned out and in order, but the week before our wedding our photographer and videographer cancelled on us. I put out a plea for help on Facebook and had many friends direct me toward TKR films. They were so willing and kind in taking on our wedding photography and videography in such short notice. I always say everything happens for a reason, and this is a true example of that. Our photos and wedding video were everything I could’ve wanted and more. They truly had a vision and created the exact vibe I wanted for our wedding day. We even got sneak peaks a day or so after the wedding to be able to share with friends and family. I am so happy to have found them. Professional, kind, creative, and fun to work with. I couldn’t recommend them, and their work more! I still get so many compliments on our photos and video to this day. Thank y’all for helping us capture the best day, with such amazing work.

He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Choosing a photographer for your wedding day is a huge decision, I get it! These photos are going to be your only reminder of how heartfelt and incredible it all was. So you'll want to make sure you hire someone that you really connect with, enjoying being around, and trust to capture everything in a way that really reflects the feeling of the day. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can usually find me in the middle of a home renovation project, cooking new recipes with my husband, or hosting a game night in our home with friends and family. Any Settlers of Catan or Ticket to Ride fans out there?

Working with Hillary is like being around a human anti-anxiety pill. She's an amazing communicator, can think on the fly without breaking a sweat like nobody's business and is an absolutely incredible fine art photographer. Her eye is INSANE. I've learned so much from her and would recommend her to anyone for any type of portrait and wedding photography.

Hey! It's me- your friendly neighborhood photographer! I am a Pisces. They say we're romantic and creative souls, so I guess it was written in the stars that I'd become this person. If you're into enneagrams, I am a 4- but this is new territory for me so I am not sure how I feel about that yet. They say I am good at this photography stuff and people seem to like me, so here I am!

Celeste is the absolute best at what she does. She is professional and detail oriented but also able to maintain a close relationship and have fun with her clients. I was a massive skeptic on professional photography- as me and my soon to be husband did not like being in-front of the camera. However, Celeste was so easy to open up with and not only was the experience to die for- she makes excellent company. My fiancé and I have grown close to Celeste and we look forward to our plans with her in the future. She is kind and open minded. She is punctual and flexible. She is witty and professional. Celeste has worked with my family and I to make sure that she makes it happen. My maternity photo location ended up being inaccessible the day of our session- and Celeste went above and BEYOND anything I could have asked if her. She set up a glamping tent on her OWN property and made magic with the circumstances we were given. She did my maternity photos in November of 2022, our first family photos in August of 2023, and will be not only photographing but a GUEST at our wedding in March of 2024. If you are new to professional pictures- or just looking for a breath of fresh air - I could not more passionately suggest anybody than Celeste.

Hey there- I'm Joanna, but feel free to call me Jo! My world has always been filled with photography- through all the years and different cameras, it's always been my biggest passion and love. I am a travel enthusiast and I will always be down to hike up a mountain or explore a new city. My favorite meals are anything that include coffee or sushi and I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as "too much chocolate." Most importantly, I am a lover of all love and will never get tired of documenting it.

Joanna photographed our September 2023 wedding at West Point in NY, and we would recommend her wholeheartedly.
 We first contacted Joanna after seeing her work on Instagram and Zola, and we really connected to the candidness and quality of her photography. We weren’t fans of traditional, super-posed and highly edited wedding photography. We were looking for a wedding photographer with a relaxed style that’s both modern and timeless. Joanna was all of the above and her photography perfectly highlights real love and connection between two people. Our wedding package with Joanna included an engagement shoot which was the perfect way to get to know her better and explain in person what we wanted for both our engagement and wedding photos. As people who aren’t generally comfortable in front of a camera, Joanna made us feel so comfortable while shooting and the photos came out better than we could have expected.
 On the wedding day, Joanna flew in to shoot our wedding, which wasn’t originally anticipated when we booked, but we truly appreciated how she made it work for our wedding. She was a dream to work, traveling to multiple locations throughout the day to shoot and capturing every photo we asked for. Going with Joanna over a team of photographers was one of the best decisions we made. It kept our wedding more intimate and relaxed for us and our guests without sacrificing quality or the range of photos. Overall, Joanna was flexible, organized, and collaborative. She quickly responded to all of our questions and kept in communication with us throughout the entire process. Joanna is also just a very kind and friendly person to work with, which was very important to us. We truly love our wedding day photos. Thank you Joanna!

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee), solo parent of three wild things. My photography career was birthed from many years of pain. My life derailed and everything felt unstable and uncertain. The more difficult things became, the more I clung to small moments of beauty. When things felt dark, I clung to the light. And I could always find light in people and in nature. Focusing on others instead of my own dark days brought me joy every time without fail. I always knew I was creative but it took me a while to find my niche! As I ventured into photography, everything fell into place. It was as if I already knew the language, I just had to find the words.

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose Haverlee for our wedding photographer and it was hands-down our best choice of vendors for the big day. I initially chose her after scrolling through her work and recognizing a unique talent- she captured REAL moments, in people's natural environments, without "over-editing." Then we met her in person and that's what sealed the deal! Haverlee is relaxed, professional, and fun. She brought a second-shooter who was equally as great and complimented her style very well. It was a joy to work with an artist who is quickly gaining momentum in her field, and whose passion is un-matched. We have since recommended her to many friends and we're excited to work with her again in the future!

Photography began as a passion for me and I make sure to hold on tight on to that and bring that passion into every event, every couple I photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Kalypso on our team as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! My husband is historically not the best at genuine looking forced smiles, yet our wedding pictures all turned out so well! Yes, he was very happy on our wedding day, but in the moment when you tell him to pose, it usually doesn't go so well. Kalypso has all sort of tricks up her sleeve to fix this, and she is such a joyous ball of energy that she has us legitimately laughing and smiling the entire time anyways. She was so easy to coordinate with, and her communication and promptness are on point. On to the most important part though - the pictures! They are AMAZING!! They perfectly capture the best day of our lives and work in all the little details so well. We are having a hard time figuring out what to frame where in our house - there are that many PERFECT pictures. It was Kalypso's first day shooting a wedding at our specific venue, and you would would think it was her own house based on how well she captured it all and worked so well in the space. I will certainly be trying to work with her for future life photoshoots and recommending her to all my friends!

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

Laura and Rachel absolutely blew us away in every single way. From the very beginning, the two of them made us feel more like their family than simply clients who were paying them for a service. It took us less than 24 hours after our first meeting with them to know they were who we wanted on our wedding day, and I am SO glad we did. They made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and more than that, they made it FUN. We felt special and joyful and so full of love the entire time we worked with them. They made our day flow flawlessly, keeping us on track while still letting us ENJOY the day. They just went above and beyond in every way - whether it be getting down on their knees to help me switch into my reception shoes or running around cocktail hour to find the friend who was in charge of bustling my dress, they did so much more than just take our photos. But those photos… let me tell you, when I first saw our sneak previews, I full on cried. And the full gallery, OH MAN. I don’t know how they managed to perfectly capture every emotion we felt that day while still making us look amazing (my husband and I were definitely ugly crying for a good portion of our first look couples portraits!), but I can’t even put into words what it felt like to look at those photos for the first time. Simply put - we’re obsessed with these two. Laura and Rachel have our business for LIFE. I’m already trying to plan a ten year vow renewal just so we can share the day with them again! (Kidding, but not really ;) ). Take it from me - hiring these two will be the easiest and best decision you will make during your wedding planning process. We love you, Laura and Rachel!!!

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

She then captured the biggest "yes" of my life, and I KNEW I needed her on my wedding day to continue the vision. The entire time up until the wedding, Catherine communicated with me and made sure she knew the vision I had for my wedding day. Behind the lens, on our wedding day, she was constantly encouraging us and managed to have ALL of the family photos flow seamlessly. Within the next few days, I was getting photos back and in just a month my whole album was ready! Talk about a quick turnaround!!

I'm living the dream in TN, capturing love stories all over WNC and East TN. Photography isn't just a job for me; it's my heart and soul. A Pisces by nature, I'm all about creative storytelling. I'm here to make your love story epic.

I have worked with Celeste through my maternity pictures, my family shoot with our sweet baby, and now for our wedding in March 2024. She is organized, punctual, kind, open minded, has great communication and is an absolute beauty to work with. She has given me a new perspective into the world of small business and whole heartedly is one of the best women I know. We have formed a bond through her work and become the best of friends and I can’t wait to see all of your beautiful pictures, and events in her portfolio!

Story Telling Wedding Events Photographer. There is a difference. We don’t just click and hope for the best I look for the moments of your day that reel into a story that takes you back to that specific moment. Each of these images have something in common, they are real moments, nothing has been staged or posed, in most cases they are not even aware of the photographer.

We hired them and they simply didn't disappoint. Loved how fast the photos came back!

I am a wedding and elopement photographer located in Wyoming county. I love to take photos of weddings and elopements. Some say I have a true passion for what I do. I have learned a lot since I started and each wedding or session I am always striving to learn more. As a business owner I am fully insured and strive to be professional at everything I do. It's my goal to be able to do this full time someday! I love being able to capture someone's day it brings me happiness. I'm a pretty laid back go with the flow type of person. I do my absolute best to provide you with photos you'll remember forever.

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Tabatha was more than willing to help with any wedding issues I had. She captured so many amazing photos. I’m so thankful we chose her for our big day. Because of her, our wedding was captured in beautiful photos to be reminded of our gorgeous day.

I am so very honored that you are considering me to be apart of your speical day. Choosing a wedding photographer can be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in planning your wedding. This is your Day the day you have been dreaming about your entire life. Thats why I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend.

I have worked several weddings with Shannon though out the years. She is very professional and has such a passion for her craftsmanship. I would highly recommend Shannon to be apart in documenting your big day!

My name is Dustin Finkelstein. I’m so grateful that I have the opportunity to turn my passion into my career. I love picking up my camera everyday and never knowing what the world is going to bring my way. With over 20 years of photography experience, I want to approach every wedding in a fresh way that reflects the unique aspects of the couple’s relationship and individual personalities. I try to naturally capture who my couples are with an artistic flare; letting the real moments they share during their wedding and engagements shine. That way, when they look at their photos years down the line it’ll be like it was just yesterday.

As a wedding officiant, I have worked with Dustin Finkelstein many times and not only is he warm & professional, drawing out the best in his couples, but his photography skills are amazing. He captures the joy & warmth of the day. Somehow he's always right where he needs to be---turning those little moments of real joy and connection into priceless memories. It's a joy to work with him & I highly recommend him to any couple looking for amazing wedding photos! Book him now---it'll be one of the best decisions you make!

I believe in marriage. I believe in portraying couples in the beauty that they are, to elevate their love and the aesthetic of the wedding day. I am a fair mix of the candid “in between” moments and refined, posed, timeless poses that will serve to be heirlooms for your children and children’s children.

Jordan Leffel is hands-down one of my favorite photographers in the industry. She captures beautiful, timeless images that any couple would be proud to display for a lifetime. Her images capture the joy and love of all things beautiful. Not only does she do incredible work, but she is wonderful to work with. Her communication is warm and professional and she always has client experience in mind. She makes anyone around her feel at-ease and you can see it in the way she photographs couples. Working with her on any event is a gift!

Book Cat for your wedding. You won’t regret it. My experience has been so amazing. Above and beyond what I ever expected when searching for a photographer. Our professional relationship quickly formed into a real friendship. In the months and weeks before our wedding Cat and I were chatting on Instagram almost daily (she even recommended my wedding make up)! And she was able to work with my on my budget. When she walked into my dressing room on the big day it was just like seeing any of my other friends and she fit right in! I appreciated how polite she was with my family and how she was down she was to see the (in my opinion) cool places I had picked out. I could not imagine my wedding with out her there. Her photos and sense of style are amazing! I couldn’t be happier with the photos we received!
