Heyyyy friend! My name is Ashley, and I'm a wedding photographer in Phoenix, Arizona! I travel all over the United States for weddings, and have photographed over 200 weddings since 2010 from Los Angeles to New York. I want to grow old with my couples, so I also offer family sessions as well as high school seniors!

Ashley and Randy were amazing to work with for my small wedding! They were professional and friendly and made us feel like we were old friends just hanging out and having fun with. The Durhams delivered a high quality product well before their deadline, and I can't say enough about how much I love every photo. I'm so glad they do more than just wedding photos, because I can't wait to work with them again!

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't even begin to tell you how amazing Candace is. She was the photographer for my stepsons wedding last year and did an amazing job. We got married this month and chose her as our photographer as well. She did not disappoint. My stepson and his wife are young and beautiful but we are much older (46-50). I was afraid of how the pictures would come out due to our age. She did amazing. Her editing is perfect and she captured so many "real" moments. We can't wait to see what she does with the rest of the pictures but here is how she did with some sneak peak ones she sent me. She was great to work with!

Michael did a fantastic job as our wedding DJ and emcee. He took the time to meet with us on multiple occasions to get to know us as a couple, to learn about our music interests, and to understand what type of vibe we were going for at the ceremony and reception. He created a timeline for our wedding that was so helpful because I did not have a day--of coordinator. He even gave my brother some pointers since it was his first time being an officiant. The party was so much fun, the music was great, his lighting was awesome, and all of our guests enjoyed the photobooth. 10/10 would recommend!

I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska surrounded by weddings and events. My family owns an event venue there still. I took a detour and played professional golf for a number of years before A. Cakes was born in 2021. It was only fitting that I come full circle and work back in the wedding industry where my heart truly lies. I am in love with the process of learning, practicing and executing new and fun techniques on my clients’ cakes. More than that, creating a cake for someone’s special day gives me the most warm feeling. It’s truly why I do what I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
A. Cakes Bakery was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. They were incredibly adaptable, communicative, and understanding throughout the entire process. The cakes and desserts they created for our special day were not only delicious, but also true works of art. We came from out of town and accidentally had the time for pickup confused with our original time zone, but they worked with us to make sure we could pick it up late. They also have delicious and adorable tasting boxes that helped us find the perfect flavor - we ended up going with a champagne cake and loved it!

Awarded Best of Zola
As a person who had never been glam before, Emily and Sarah made me super comfortable and had realistic expectations. THANK YOU for explaining why 18-inch extensions would be beneficial, and I am thankful for trusting you. My hair and makeup were freaking epic! I wanted old Hollywood Glam with smokey eyes and, being 48, requesting glowy skin instead of baked. Sarah made all my bridesmaids feel gorgeous with their makeup, and our hair was perfect! Most of my bridesmaids had been BM before, so they were expecting to feel insecure and not sexy. All five were so impressed they felt and looked beautiful. I have never been called "Stunning" before my wedding day. On that day, Emily and the team not only made me look stunning, but they also made me feel stunning. My hairstyle with the 18-inch clip extensions was done perfectly. My makeup lasted all night, and the glow that was used on my chest gave me the most beautiful glowing skin. Thank you so much! I haven't gotten any of my professional photos in yet. Here are a few from guests

DJ Dana did our wedding on 8/31/24 and we highly recommend him! He took into account my wedding playlists, and knew when to play the right songs. It took a lot of stress out of our day. He was very early, and set up with plenty of time to spare. His speaker system and microphones for toasts worked great. He brought his own lights to add to the party and even added some to our sweetheart table to spice it up! He was very thoughtful, and even sang us L-OV-E by Nat King Cole very tastefully and casually while people were finishing dinner. Highly recommend… thank you DJ Dana!

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

My husband and I booked Maya and her team for our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t recommend her more! She’s fun, upbeat, friendly and knows how to make the session fun, no matter what! She was such a joy to work with, is so talented and we’re SO in love with our photos!

Getting a sneak peak of ceremony and sunset bride/groom photos while sitting down to dinner at our wedding was an extra special surprise! We woke up to 150 edited photos the morning after our wedding and received our full collection of photos earlier than expected.

I was able to schedule a trial ahead of time, which helped ensure I looked and felt my best on the big day. Amelia did an amazing job, and it was great to work with her and her team to help make our wedding day special.

We had Jarrett with Engage Entertainment as our DJ for our wedding on October 26. I can’t recommend him enough. From the planning process to executing everything we had visioned for our music and party - everything was great. If you want someone that can get all of your guests on the dance floor with you and knows how to throw a party, Jarrett is your guy! I wish we could do it again we had so much fun!

We are incredibly grateful to have worked with Niki and the team at NJ Event Collective for our wedding coordination. After interviewing several planners based on a recommendation from our photographer, Niki immediately stood out. She was approachable, professional, and brought a wealth of experience—particularly with weddings at the Desert Botanical Garden. Her deep familiarity with the venue, its layout, and staff gave us tremendous peace of mind from the very beginning. We chose NJ Event Collective’s “Day of Coordination” package, as I wanted to handle much of the event design and DIY elements myself. I’m incredibly thankful that Niki’s team was our coordinator as they were absolutely instrumental in making our day run smoothly and stress-free. Throughout the planning process, we primarily communicated with Jaime, Niki’s lead assistant, who was outstanding—organized, efficient, and always on top of every detail. She ensured that nothing fell through the cracks. Our in-person meetings were with Niki, who was always well-informed and seamlessly aligned with everything we had discussed with Jaime. Although Jaime was unable to be present on the wedding day due to maternity leave, the rest of the NJ team stepped in effortlessly. Their communication and coordination with the other vendors too were impeccable; we were only approached with two or three quick questions during the entire reception, which allowed us to fully enjoy the day without distraction. One of the standout tools they used was a shared drive, which housed our timeline, vendor details, setup instructions, and more. This centralized system made it incredibly easy to update and access information without relying on endless email threads. The greatest gift Niki and her team gave us was the ability to be fully present on our wedding day. We never had to worry about logistics, vendor coordination, or last-minute decisions—everything had been thoughtfully planned and executed. If you’re planning a wedding at the Desert Botanical Garden—or anywhere in the Phoenix area—I cannot recommend NJ Event Collective highly enough. Their professionalism, experience, and calming presence truly elevated our wedding experience.

If you’re on the fence about who to book because let’s be honest, there’s a lot of vendors on Zola, choose Karla! Her photos turned out amazing for both our save the dates and our wedding. She has a quick turn around time (24 hours) for sneak peeks. She’s sweet, kind, communicative, easy going, and just fun to work with. She was more of my wedding coordinator on my wedding day than my actual coordinator lol. Book her! You won’t be disappointed.
