  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Tombstone, AZ

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

She was concise, timely and super helpful. Grace went above and beyond to ensure the day went amazing. She even helped button my dress when we were struggling. I would definitely recommend using her for your wedding. She will get everything and everyone together to ensure your photos are exactly what you want!

Working with Marie and her team was awesome! From the preplanning phase to the end, Marie made the pictures/experience fun and enjoyable. Both Justin and I had never done a professional photo shoot, so we really appreciate Marie’s guidance (but not staged) on photos as well as her welcoming personality to make us feel less awkward and shy lol! She got us our sneak peaks and full photos so quickly, her website is easy to use, and she was super on the ball with everything! We would recommend her 10 out of 10! Adding a couple photos of hers of our wedding!

Every time I see that a couple has booked Valerie I know the day will not only be captured perfectly but that the experience for us as a venue and the couple will be stress-free. She is always professional and able to let the couple enjoy the day while capturing all the important moments. Speaking to her talent, our assistant planner got married last year and of all the photographers she could have chosen she picked Valerie and of course the pictures were stunning. Just look through her galleries and you will know why she is one of our favorites.

From the very beginning, their communication was excellent - they were always prompt in responding to our questions and followed up to ensure we were on the same page. On the day of the wedding, Alyssa was a pleasure to work with, guiding us into the perfect poses and capturing beautiful, natural shots that truly reflected the joy of our special day. The final photos were of incredible quality, with beautiful editing that made every moment shine.

Peterman Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Tombstone, AZ

Photography, for me, is a deliberate process—a way of distilling time into something that feels both quiet and lasting. It’s about creating beautiful images, not through spectacle or trends, but through thoughtfulness, clarity, and a focus on what truly matters. I guide with intention and compose with care so each frame feels honest, grounded, and entirely your own.

Awarded Best of Zola
Craig and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with. Craig was communicative and helpful throughout the planning process and made our engagement session feel relaxed and fun. On the wedding day, TJ and Maeh were fantastic — flexible, professional, and incredibly kind. They struck the perfect balance between directing when needed and blending into the background so the ceremony and reception could unfold naturally. They problem-solved throughout the day (even helping the guys get ready when timing got tight!) and helped keep everything running smoothly. We recently received our full gallery and are absolutely blown away. They captured all of the major moments as well as so many meaningful, emotional details we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Being able to relive our wedding through their beautiful photos has been such a gift. We are so grateful for the care, flexibility, and intention they brought to documenting our day.

With my love for photography and growing up with such a large, rowdy family, it's no wonder I found my career in professional photography. Then marrying my goofball of a husband and having two hilarious and awesome kiddos, the importance of remembering every little moment has only grown as I experience each new adventure of my life. I get so much joy and gratification from the opportunity of providing such meaningful work to others-- I am so passionate about those intentional and authentic moments. And I like to have fun and laugh, too!

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Marlee by happenstance, and it was by far one of the best things to have happened! My husband and I eloped in November of 2023 and the photos that Marlee captured took our breath away. When we got the sneak peek sent to us, we were literally stopped in our tracks on our honeymoon where we analyzed the details of each and every single one. Completely and utterly in awe that we would have those memories in the form of THOSE gorgeous photos for the rest of our lives. Since then, she has captured the most important moments to us thus far that include our pregnancy announcement photos and maternity photos. Not only is her work absolutely breathtaking but she is just a phenomenal, down to earth, witty and beautiful human! My husband and I both aren't the biggest fans of being in front of the camera, but Marlee made us feel so incredibly comfortable right out of the gate. If you go with Marlee for whatever photos you need, you absolutely will not be disappointed!

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

I've worked with Ross and Brittany on a few occasions now. They've photographed my boyfriend and I when we were in Colorado and we still love our images. Not only that though, I've worked side-by-side with them as a videographer as well. They make a great photo/video team and as a creative myself, I know how knowledgable they are in their craft. Their photos are so crisp and clean with true-to-life editing which I really appreciate. I love these two.

Fine art, elegant, timeless images... Jim & Christy are based in Arizona but also we are available for weddings in any destination. We work alongside each other to create the best wedding photography team committed to making your photographs and your wedding day a complete success. We love each other and we adore romance so our approach to fine art photography is to capture the romance, elegance, and beauty of our couples. We can’t wait to hear from you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We looked through a lot of different portfolios. We wanted to get a sense of who had the best photography skills combined with post-production prowess. Jim & Christy's work really stood out, even amidst the relatively crowded "wedding photography" space. That being said, we had pretty high hopes, going into our first shoot. One of the "added bonuses" you get with Jim & Christy is that they're both very, very adept at putting you at ease with their process. Right after we'd first spoken with them, going over a few ideas we had for our initial shoot, they'd immediately went and scouted out the area. We were very confident that they knew what they were doing + as soon as we got going they were also able to see extra opportunities for cool shots. They went above and beyond during the shoot to get us the most amount of shots and even found extra (more bonuses!) shots on top of what we'd planned. They did this all while we had the best natural lighting of the day + they'd even found more locations amongst the area where we'd originally planned to go. They were so efficient with our time--without ever making us feel rushed. Most importantly, we got to see the finished photos--which were even better than we'd (already had pretty high) hoped for! Amazing. Both of us kept repeating (and agreeing with each other) that their work looked "magazine quality". My fiancé, the Bride, felt like she looked great without coming off as "photoshopped" or "overly touched up". Basically, we felt like they'd just done a magazine-level-quality photo shoot for us. They even quickly (within a week) got us some sneak-peek selections--a few "early edition" shots--to prep our palettes for the final photos. We're just really impressed, and very grateful that we've chosen Jim & Christy to capture and preserve in literally *the best light possible* the memories from a very important period of time for us. Their top-tier quality immediately allows us to envision an entirely new level of presentation (in addition to the preservation) of our Wedding. We can't recommend them highly enough. In hindsight, it'd make sense to first book Jim & Christy, and *then* set the date for your Wedding. They're that crucial. Thank you so much, Jim & Christy. Your love for what you do and for each other fits in perfectly with your fun-loving photo shoots & top-notch work. You two are the best, and a welcome edition to our Wedding.

I'm Gabby aka your wedding day sidekick. If my best friends could describe my personality, they would say I’m a mix between Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Scott. I'm living my best life as a professional photographer and I love it so much! When I’m not at weddings, I’m heating up chicken nuggets for my kiddo (because me and “cooking” are not BFFs) or listening to Crime Junkie Podcast while sipping on my third Caramel Macchiato. Family means everything to me, and taking funny photos of my baby is the coolest, I’m just so obsessed with preserving precious memories.

Gabby and her team were awesome! She replies fast, explains everything, and helps answer any questions. She even looked up the sun set time for my wedding day to plan the photos accordingly and to help me plan my timeline. She created a layout of the exact photos I wanted and made sure she had the correct names for family and bridal party. They were great at making you laugh and pose and have those perfect candid shots, not ones where it looks like you’re forcing a smile. We were very pleased!

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Their work is simply gorgeous - exactly the style we were looking for to capture our special day. On the wedding day, they made both my husband and I feel at ease, even though we are a bit awkward in front of the camera. They provided excellent guidance on posing and helped us look our best.

Anytime I need photos, I go to Madalina; she is so talented and can truly do it all! All I had to do was show Madalina a photo I liked and she made it happen! Madalina is direct with large groups like bridal party and family, taking the pressure off the bride and groom to make everything perfect, but always kind.
