Talula's Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,950
  • Serves Utica, PA

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
Working with Talula was a seamless experience. She was very professional, easy-going, and wonderful to work with. It was a pleasure working with her, and we look forward to having her back at our venue in the future!

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.

O&A Evans Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Utica, PA

"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 was truly the "diamond in the rough" we were looking for, being that we had a fairly short timeline from engagement to marriage, and a small budget. I don't even recall exactly how I found Oliver (I think maybe from a Facebook group for budget photography?), but my husband and I were so glad we did. From the moment we reached out to him, he was thorough, communicative, and very curious about our story in an attempt to try to get to know us. This really paid off when we met him and his wife at the engagement photo shoot (which, mind you, was provided at a discount around the July 4th holiday; we hadn't even intended to get any!). Both Oliver and his wife Allie were super fun, personable, and VERY creative when it came to shots. They were good teachers and made the whole "could have been super awkward" session into something memorable and enjoyable. Once we were booked and ready to set all the dates, Oliver also was extremely conscientious about the timing, the coordination, and making sure he knew when to be where. We were married in an Orthodox church, which for many people, from a visual standpoint, is foreign territory, but I felt he showed wonderful commitment to his craft by spending time in the choir loft before the service and "scoping things out" to make sure he didn't miss any details on the iconostasis, at the altar, or around the stained glass. Unfortunately it rained on our wedding day, so instead of being able to take bright and sunny outdoor shots as we had hoped, we had to improvise a little and make the best in a rainy afternoon at the gazebo alongside the reception hall. Even with the gray lighting I felt Oliver did some of his best work in capturing our tiny wedding party of three under that gazebo. The personalities of everyone in those photos in particular really shined, and they are some of our favorites from the event. Memorable moments were all covered at the reception, and this is where I think his skills shone through - lots of candid shots, so many group photos, and a lot of things were captured that I as the bride was always too preoccupied to see. Not ONCE throughout the entire crazy day did I see Oliver get rattled or even so much as perturbed. He is truly Mr. Calm Cool and Collected, which worked wonders for a bride like me who was very nervous things would go wrong! His reassurance, strong communication, and organization were just another added value. Though I and my husband both are pretty "no frills" and practical people, he made thoughtful suggestions along the process from consultation to wedding day, making sure I wasn't missing out on any shots I might want to see later. He truly was very thoughtful and wanted to make sure we got our money's worth. We certainly did! All in all, if you are looking for a very affordable (I dare say charging under his worth) photographer who will treat you with care, timeliness, and work masterfully and responsibly, then Oliver is your man. Thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day amazing!

Photography has always been a passion of mine, something I worked on in high school, college, and after.

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 would absolutely recommend Stevee to any couple looking for a photographer who is both responsive and talented.

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have asked for a better photographer in any respect. Maya is extremely communicative, warm, welcoming, and excellent at what they do. I was incredibly nervous selecting a photographer because I had no idea what I was doing. During my first meeting with Maya, they put me completely at ease and walked me through the process, their photography philosophy, figured out what my spouse and I would/wouldn’t like in our photos, and even helped us get a sense of how our day’s timeline would go. Since we planned the entire wedding ourselves, their help even from this first meeting was invaluable. Maya and their partner the day-of were an absolute blast to have at the event. Even the usual stiff family formal photos felt fun and organic with their guidance, and they were always up for impromptu shots and suggestions. They make sure that their work is organic, dynamic, and really captures the essence of the couple’s relationship. I asked them to use my Polaroid alongside their professional gear and they were really enthusiastic about the prospect, so now I have a set of excellent Polaroids in addition to their amazing high definition work. My spouse and I will absolutely be going back to Maya in the future for more photography. Some advice: Don’t waste your time shopping around with other photographers. If you’ve found Maya, you’ve found the perfect wedding photographer.

I know wedding stuff gets expensive, but this was so worth it. They worked hard, stayed longer than planned, and got every important moment. The video was beyond what I imagined and the album makes me cry. I’ll be keeping this forever

I’m Ben Wagner, a New York City–based wedding and elopement photographer with roots in France. I relocated to the United States in 2016—the same year I photographed my first wedding and discovered a passion for it. Since then, I’ve documented over 150 celebrations across the country and abroad. From the West Coast to NC and New England, and internationally in France and Morocco, my work is shaped by a love of travel, culture, and human connection. All love is honored here. Regardless of religion, sexual orientation, race, immigration status, or personal beliefs, —a place where your story is felt, seen, respected, and beautifully documented.

We had such a wonderful experience with Ben and his 2nd photographer, Zee for our August wedding. Ben was very on-the-ball and reliable during the whole wedding process; he communicates clearly and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed taking all the photos. He has incredible talent and our wedding album was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined or hoped for. Photography is such an important wedding aspect, and there's no one else I would've felt so comfortable holding that responsibility than Ben. Ben and Zee captured every little moment and emotion felt on our wedding day and I'm grateful we will be able to relive the day through their photos. I will definitely be recommending Ben to my friends and family for their weddings and any photoshoot needs!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.
