Talula's Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,950
  • Serves Utica, PA
  • Offer

Hi, I’m Tara—also known as Talula—and I’m a firm believer that photos are memories frozen in time. I’ve been capturing everything and everyone around me for as long as I can remember, starting with Polaroids and flip phones before upgrading to my first real camera at 19. I haven’t put it down since. I’m married to my best friend of 12+ years, and together we’re raising a beautiful little girl. When I’m not behind the camera or editing, I’m most likely crafting using my Cricut or spending quality time with the people/animals I love (like my dog Quinn).

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience working with Tara for our wedding. She was easy to communicate with, flexible with timing, and we are so happy with how our photos came out. We also loved our engagement photos which was a nice added bonus. We would highly recommend her to any couple!

Photography was introduced to me at a very early age. Growing up with a photography studio at my fingertips has afforded me an education you could not get through schooling. My dad opened his studio right out of high school and quickly became the areas premier studio. In 2007, I opened my own studio, Identity Studio and Design. This move helped me continue my own personal style of photography and unmatched customer service under my own brand. Over the past 25 years I have been fortunate to photograph well over 400 weddings, from New York all the way down the east coast and to Jamaica....all along keeping up with industry standards and trends.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Identity Studio and Design Cranberry, we knew we had found our wedding photographer. His communication style is personal yet professional - he takes the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and goes above and beyond what most photographers do. The quality of his work is truly the best we've seen, and he takes the time to show us different photography styles before honing in on our preferences. We are thrilled with the final results and have already recommended Identity Studio and Design Cranberry to all of our family and friends. We wouldn't dream of using anyone else for our photography needs.

"Capturing life's fleeting moments along side my lovely wife, one frame at a time. I started photography as a hobby a few years ago, and it's since become a true passion. I'm drawn to the way it lets me freeze time, tell stories, and preserve memories. Through my lens, I see the world in a new light, and I'm excited to share that vision with others."

Oliver did a fantastic job capturing my proposal. Not only did he capture the romance of the moment, but he went completely unnoticed during the big surprise! I'd like to note, I'm kind of an awkward guy when it comes to pictures but Oliver is great to work with and gave great advice to me. The photos turned out beautiful and we were able to look at them in short order. Thank you Oliver.

First things first, I want you to know that I love serving! Serving is what makes my heart happy and I love being able to do so through my career. Every job I take on is an opportunity to serve and I promise to give you my all, every single time! As a wife, photographer, and follower of Jesus Christ, photography has always been a huge part of my life. My love of photography began as a hobby in high-school that unexpectedly snowballed into a career shortly after college.

Kibbe Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the moment we first reached out, Robyn was fast, friendly, and incredibly informative, answering all of our questions and walking us through the process. And reassuring me through and through when weather or anything else made me nervous! On the day of, she and Mara the second shooter were thorough, detailed, and attentive, helping us stay on schedule with their carefully crafted timeline while capturing all the most important moments- fixing little details like flyaway hairs and twisted straps along the way! Robyn even assisted with coordinating the day's flow, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could fully enjoy ourselves. The final photos we’ve seen so far (we’ll get like a thousand in the end!) are absolutely stunning - we're thrilled with how they turned out! If you're looking for a talented, professional photography team to document your special day, do not hesitate to book Kibbe Photography. You won't be disappointed!

Jessee Allen Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Utica, PA

I’m Jessee, the heart behind Jessee Allen Photography. I’m a documentary-style wedding photographer based in Erie, PA, drawn to real connection over perfection. My work is warm, emotionally rich, and true to color with a slightly moody edge. I focus on the in-between glances, tight hand squeezes, and deep belly laughs — the moments that make your day feel like yours. I build custom timelines so nothing meaningful is rushed, and I show up as a steady, supportive presence from start to finish.

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Jessee and how thankful we are that she photographed our wedding. She also did our engagement photos, and after seeing how incredible those were, we genuinely could not wait for her to photograph our wedding because we already knew she would be the absolute best. From the moment we first met her, she truly felt more like a friend than just our photographer. One of my biggest concerns when choosing a photographer was finding someone whose editing style still felt natural and true to us. I was also nervous that we would feel awkward or uncomfortable being posed. Jessee completely eliminated both of those worries during our engagement photos, and somehow made us feel even more comfortable on our wedding day. She tells you exactly what to do so everything feels natural while still making sure you look and feel your absolute best. She is SO professional and efficient, keeps everything flowing seamlessly, and makes taking photos genuinely fun. Beyond being an incredible photographer, Jessee was such a calming presence for me throughout our wedding day while still bringing the most positive and joyful energy. There were so many moments throughout the day when I found myself looking to her for reassurance, and she was always right there. When we received our sneak peeks, we were absolutely blown away. We truly cannot believe how beautiful they are or how perfectly they captured the feeling of our day. We have already received SO many compliments on them from our friends and family. It rained on our wedding day, and we were initially nervous about how our outdoor photos in the rain would turn out and they ended up being some of our absolute favorites. Jessee also had the vision to reroute some of our photos inside our venue because of the weather, and they turned out SO BEAUTIFUL. Our ceremony photos are an absolute dream, too. She captured every part of the day more beautifully than we ever could have hoped. Everyone who had the opportunity to interact with Jessee on our wedding day commented on how amazing she was and how helpful she was throughout photos. She is the sweetest, kindest person and truly such a joy to be around, while also being incredibly professional, organized, efficient, and unbelievably talented at what she does. If you are considering Jessee for your wedding, don't even think twice. Having her photograph both our engagement and our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. She is truly a dream to work with, and we will treasure these photos FOREVER. We could not be more thankful that we chose her to capture such an important season of our lives.

Photography has always been a passion of mine, something I worked on in high school, college, and after. It wasn't until I had my first son, Forrest, that I decided to take the leap and really pursue my love for taking photos! I was born and raised here in Erie, Pennsylvania and where I am choosing to raise my family! I am married to my best friend, Bryan. We have two little gentlemen, Forrest and Miles. It is important to us as parents to raise our kids with a love for the outdoors and why we enjoy living in this region! You can usually find me with a cup of coffee in hand and a music station playing in the background, or reading a book.

From our first conversation with Stevee Elchynski Photography, we knew we had found the right fit. She responded quickly to every question and gave us clear guidance on what to expect for our engagement session and wedding day. On the day itself, Stevee worked with ease and confidence, handling every moment with skill and creativity. Her photos turned out stunning and perfectly captured the feeling of our celebration. We appreciated how smoothly everything flowed, and it was clear she had a solid plan in place. We would absolutely recommend Stevee to any couple looking for a photographer who is both responsive and talented.

Edgar is the best! He was fun to be around and up for anything. He traveled hours to meet us and even went on a pretty buggy/muddy hike to capture the most incredible photos. We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset! We can't wait to see him again next June for our wedding, and have so much faith that he will hit it out of the park again!

I'm Ashley a Cleveland, Ohio portrait photographer specializing in dark and concept driven imagery. With 18+ years of experience, I blend mood, storytelling, and artistic depth while offering a range of editing aesthetics to match each client's vision. I hold a Certificate in Photography from the Hallmark Institute of Photography and am also self taught. When I'm not creating, I'm with my supportive husband and our 2 cats Pumpkin & Goblin. We love traveling, trying new things, and discovering great food. My passion for photography began in childhood, inspired by my mother's photos and 90s magazine ads.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Important Points about Sage & Iron You Should Not Skip: -Budget friendly -Super flexible -Empathetic and understanding -Professional family wrangler -Prompt communication & transparency -Open to ideas if you've got 'em, but if not that's totally fine too -Easily the most "human" professional photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with Sage & Iron (we only worked with Ashley) is someone I felt super comfortable with right away--which says a lot because I'm usually so untrusting of most people I hire for things. My husband and I were hunting for a wedding photographer that could provide spooky/moody photos of us, but also some traditional classics too. All with the very tight constraints of funding our small wedding ourselves, we thought we'd never find what we were looking for. *Enter: Sage & Iron* We booked with S&I right away, and while I originally had plans with a friend to take our engagement photos, that fell through, and S&I(Ashley) was SO understanding when I asked about booking an engagement session even though it wasn't originally in our plans. We scheduled for dates in the fall, but it's Ohio, so there was of course rain.. then wind.. so our spooky moody engagement shoot ultimately was pushed to early spring in a cemetery. You would NEVER know that we didn't take these photos in the late-fall! Mission: Accomplished I am chronically forgetful, but Ashley always came through with reminders about payment dates, and was always incredibly flexible with me when I said I'd text her soon and "soon" became days. A Saint of Patience! Not to mention, all of our wedding planning (Read: Me stressing out) was happening while Ashley was experiencing some heavy life-things of her own, but she never once made me feel like anything less than a priority. Truly dedicated to her clients and making sure they feel heard and cared for. Wedding: It was beautiful weather all week, but naturally, bonkers wind and rain the entire day of our wedding. Unfortunately, and at no fault of S&I, our venue that already was lacking in the "indoor photo locations department" decided to book a 1000 guest event at the last minute the same day of our wedding... So are many of our photos in a stairwell not designed for photos? Yes. Did Ashley do her damndest to get interesting photos of the bridal party despite the lack of indoor locations or ideal lighting conditions? I believe so! She was also a champion of wrangling us, keeping the family under control during photo time, delegating whose turn it was to get photos with the bride and groom next, it was like watching a foreman in a work zone. And I NEEDED someone to do that for me because I was, well, a bride. In summary: S&I (Ashley) is a joy and a pleasure to work with, even when I forget to download my own wedding photos before they came down from the website... She still has them stored safely for me to be able to download them. An angel. If you're looking for a photographer who is real with you, keeps you updated, has transparent pricing and won't ever try to bait-and-switch you, cares about you as a human first and foremost, knows how to flex some genuinely cool moody artistic shots but still nails the classics, you've found your vendor!

I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments: the way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking, the hug from your mom that lasts a little longer, the feeling of joy that hangs in the air. My approach is calm, intentional, and heartfelt. I want your photos to feel like you: beautiful, honest, and full of soul.

We cannot recommend Madalina enough! She photographed both our engagement session and our wedding, so by the time our big day came, she already felt like family. She has such a calming and fun personality that made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and that made all the difference. On our wedding day, she arrived right on time and got straight to work. She was organized, professional, and captured every special moment so effortlessly. She made taking photos feel natural instead of stressful, and we never had to worry because we knew we were in great hands. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she genuinely cares about her couples and it shows in everything she does. We are so grateful we chose her to capture one of the most important days of our lives, and we'll treasure these memories forever. If you're looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and feels more like a friend than just your photographer, she's the one!

The photos came so fast to we were really happy to see them. Every photo feels like a dream, and we’ve gotten endless compliments from family and friends. I’m seriously having a hard time choosing which one to hang on the wall, so I made a post on TikTok that got a lot of attention because of how wonderful they look. Truly, one of the best decision we made for our wedding was hiring her.

I am SO HAPPY that we hired Ali for our wedding! She was so kind and easygoing while also totally in command and on top of every request we had photography wise. Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!

I'm Ondraea! Wedding photographer based in Buffalo, Ny, but would love to travel! Here at OGP, I strive to create an experience for my couples that goes beyond just taking the traditional ‘must-have’ wedding images. I believe that your gallery should be filled with genuine emotion, joyous laughs, and the intimate moments that take place between you and your loved ones. My job isn’t to just snap photos of your day, but to document each second in a way that allows you to not only relive the moments you remember but allow you to feel as though you were a part of moments you may not even know happened on your wedding day!

Booking Ondraea was hands down the best decision we made when we were planning our wedding. She is knowledgeable, understanding, talented, experienced, everything you want in a photographer. She took us out of our comfort zones to get the best photos, and we had a lot of fun doing it. She helped us decide on a few locations, poses, accessories, etc, and everything turned out beautifully. Please do yourself a favor and book Ondraea as your photographer, you will not regret it!!

If you’re looking for a documentary photographer who can capture your day as it unfolds, I’d love to chat!!

I originally chose Holly for my photographer because we had a very specific theme for our wedding (Destiny the video game). It must have also been Destiny that she played the game and was familiar with the theme. Also, she was amazingly flexible and willing to work with our budget. Her correspondence with me was always quick and prompt. Even when it came to getting my professional pictures and sneak peaks all back, I was told it would be up to 2 months for return, but she had them back in only a week or two's time. Unfortunately, (as these things sometimes happen) Holly was not able to actually come do our photos due to getting extremely sick (which no one can help), so we had to have a stand in photographer named Justin. I know we (including herself) were all bummed she could not be there considering we were all excited and familiar with the theme. Despite not having Holly, Justin was still very nice to work with and did an amazing job. I did notice that the best pictures (of course) were the ones he had time to actually position and pose us for. I think my biggest regret was I wish I had had more time and funds to pay for more time for him to pose us and take these more less candid photos. I was sad to find that we missed out on getting individual photos of my daughters and all four of them on their own. Also there were no photos of my husband with his second oldest daughter which really upset her... But again, I don't blame the photographer for this. It really was chalked up to a lack of time. Also, one of my daughters changed into more comfortable clothes during dinner so that took away from us being able to get the nice pictures I had wanted. So I can't emphasize enough that I don't blame the photographers for this at all... It was just one of my biggest regrets on my part of the night. I again, wish I had built more time and been able to contribute more money to more pictures that could be done in this manner. I definitely recommend this team. They are so nice and do their best to check off all of the boxes that you want. They work with you and are quick and efficient with what they do.
