It’s me, showing up with my full heart to create something that feels true to you. If you want your story told with integrity, emotion, and reverence - You're in the right place.

From the moment we met Luca, we knew she was the right person to capture our wedding. She didn’t just document the big moments - she paid attention to the small, meaningful details that made private beach wedding day uniquely ours. Her creativity and professionalism instantly put us at ease, which was such a gift during all the nerves of the day. Luca brought a calming presence, endless patience, and such care to every part of the process. She made us feel seen, celebrated, and completely comfortable in front of the camera. The entire experience was truly unforgettable. We’re so thankful for the heart and talent Luca poured into our day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

My name is Cecilia but you can call me Cece. I'm so happy you are here. I'm married to the love of my life and together we have three rambunctious little boys. I'm based in Utah and I LOVE traveling. If your wedding is out of state I would love to come to you. I have always found joy in taking photos. It wasn't until I got pregnant with my first child that I developed a strong passion for photography. When I'm not taking pictures I enjoy exercising, reading books, and hanging out with my family & friends

Awarded Best of Zola
Cannot recommend Cece enough! First and foremost the pictures turned out AMAZING. Most of my guests didn’t take photos throughout the event simply because they saw Cece everywhere and knew she was getting the shot AND SHE WAS. She was so communicative and fun to work with. We are also new to the area and she was amazing at helping us find other great and reliable vendors.

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

  • Serves Thayer, IL for additional fees

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

I aspire to deliver perfectly imperfect images that will be treasured forever. My style is documentary & candid.

This means you don't have to worry about kids being on their best behavior - I am a professional toddler wrangler & believe the crazy moments create the best pictures.

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world, but weddings hold a special place in my heart. There's something truly magical about experiencing every emotion of the day alongside the couple - the joy, the happy tears, the excitement, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. Being entrusted to capture those emotions is an honor I don't take lightly. With each click of the shutter, I'm not just taking a photo - I'm preserving a piece of your story, one that you can cherish forever.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren for our wedding, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! From the moment we first met her, it was clear that she wasn’t just passionate about photography—she genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our day in the most beautiful, authentic way possible. Lauren has an extraordinary eye for detail. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures moments—the spontaneous smiles, the glances exchanged, the raw emotions. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—something neither of us was used to. She took the time to understand our style and personalities, and tailored her approach to fit that perfectly. On the day of the wedding, her calm and positive energy was a grounding presence amid all the excitement. Lauren made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day and beyond. She’s a true artist, and her work will be cherished by us for years to come.

We are a small photography company currently based in Anchor, Point, Alaska. We love destination weddings as well as local. We will travel all over the world for your special day. Photography is a passion of mine because it captures all those moments that you could’ve forgotten. They last for a lifetime and beyond, so it’s like bottling up your memories for everyone to see. Weddings is all about love and becoming one with each other. What better event to capture!

We worked with BarcStone Photography recently on an early-May 2022 wedding at our Tasting Room. Krista was thorough, asked good questions, took exceptional photographs of the couple as well as our property. BarcStone was pleasant to work with, informative, and easy to get a hold of. After working with BarcStone, we have happily added them to our Vendor List. Couldn't be more impressed with a photographer than Krista Stone of BarcStone Photography.

I am a professional freelance makeup artist, serving the Chicagoland area and Northwest suburbs since 2020. At Anahi Real Beauty, we specialize in bridal/Quinceanera's, commercial, and special event makeup, I offer everything from soft glam to full glam. With a talented team of artists and hairstylists, we tailor each look to enhance your natural beauty and ensure long lasting results.

I highly recommend XV GLAM by anahirealmua for bridal makeup services. Anahi was extremely prompt and thorough in her communication throughout the planning process, which I greatly appreciated during the hectic wedding season. Most importantly, the quality of work by her artists (Pierena-makeup & Lorena-hair) was just beautiful - long lasting yet natural looking, and brought my vision for a soft glam bridal look to life perfectly. The artists were also very flexible and willing to travel to my getting ready location. They helped make me feel calm, confident and truly glamorous on my wedding day. I couldn't have asked for better beauty professionals and would recommend XV Glam to any bride looking for exceptional services and gorgeous, timeless makeup application.

Hi there! My name is Amanda and I am a lifetime photographer based in Fontana, California. By lifetime, I mean I am here to capture those milestones in your life, no matter how big or “small”! A little about me… I am a full time wedding photographer and a full-time Elementary School Counselor in Orange County. I am married to the sweetest and most supportive man I have ever known, Jake. We started dating in college and now have three furbabies. They are named Mini (Dachshund), Oatmeal (Dachshund), and Zara (Great Dane). Yes, you read that correctly and yes, it is as crazy and funny as you can imagine, haha!

Amanda is an amazing photographer. She made our quaint backyard wedding look like we were at a fancy venue. The photos are absolutely beautiful, and she did such a great job catching the vibe of the evening in every photo.
