My passion has always been to serve people & love them well! I used to work in the medical field & found that passion for others & wanting to freeze time flow into my Photography business! I saw how sudden life could change or be taken in my career as an occupational therapist! I knew I wanted nothing more than to give people tangible items to look back on and treasure for years to come! Also, who doesn’t love, love? It’s so stinking sweet!

I honestly don’t even have the words to fully express how grateful we are for McKenzie. When our original photographer unexpectedly canceled, we were heartbroken and stressed—but McKenzie stepped in without hesitation and completely saved the day. From the moment she agreed to take on our wedding, it felt like everything was going to be okay. And it was more than okay—it was perfect. Our wedding day was hot, chaotic at times, and filled with all the usual last-minute hiccups—but McKenzie handled it all with such grace, patience, and professionalism. She showed up with a calm presence, a warm smile, and the kind of creative energy every couple hopes for in a photographer. She captured everything—every little detail, every laugh, every emotional moment—with such care and talent. The photos we’ve received are beyond anything we imagined. Looking through them brings tears to our eyes because she didn’t just take pictures… she preserved the feeling of the day. I truly believe McKenzie was meant to be there with us. What started as a stressful situation turned into one of the biggest blessings of our wedding. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, stay calm under pressure, and make you feel totally at ease in front of the camera—McKenzie is the one. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you, McKenzie. You were everything we didn’t know we needed. —Kaitlyn & Brandon

The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise.

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

Awarded Best of Zola
Allyse and Nick are two of the most stellar people I know, and they have come together to create the perfect business: a husband and wife team capturing moments forever. If anyone knows true love, it's them, and let alone getting the most epic photo, it's also them. Allyse and Nick are professionals who take stunning pictures in any season and setting! They are masters of lighting and finding the perfect moment. I have known them both for many years and have watched them grow in their photo careers and then move into creating their wedding photo business. They have photographed many friends' weddings and friends of friends, never to disappoint! Allyse has always had the gift of capturing the right moment, whether in her work overseas, photojournalism, or later in weddings, and she never ceased to amaze me or anyone I know. Her photos have always been so powerful, and her reputation shows it. Nick's creative and whimsical photos matched her style, and when they met, they grew further together, making them the talent powerhouse they are today. Nick and Allyse are the team to hire if you want your typical and not-so-typical photos. They are fun and witty artists with cameras! They will capture all of the fairy tale moments, the getting ready shots, and the memory photos you will treasure forever, but they will also create the laughs that make the photos you never even thought of happening! Their style and approach of helping you through those beautiful yet stressful hours that lead up to the big moment with humor and charm is also why you will love them! These are the moments where they will get the best photos of you, your family, and then of you and your one and only. They both have the clever eye to capture the moments that later, upon looking at the pictures, you will think, WOW, how did they get that? Allyse and Nick are the team you want to capture your wedding if not for their charm and talent but their ability to quickly make a stressful day flow while capturing the best moments you will cherish forever.

I really struggled when picking a photographer because much of our wedding was happening indoors (early December wedding). I wanted gorgeous photography with a warm, cozy feel. Alysa’s photos here on Zola were the first I’d seen where I truly loved the style. I’m so glad we found her!!!! She gave us the cozy feel I was going for and she is the most pleasant person to work with! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.

The moment we received the notification that our photos and videos were ready, our excitement was palpable. Viewing them filled us with tears of joy and overwhelming love, as each beautifully captured memory transported us right back to the wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend JayDee and Pluvia Studios to anyone seeking top-quality photography and videography to capture their most cherished moments.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

The KD Hunt experience is rooted in connection, trust, and intentional storytelling. From our first conversation to the final gallery, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, cared for, and completely at ease. I take time to understand your story — the emotions, the details, the quiet moments in between — so every photograph reflects the truth of who you are. With a balance of editorial direction and effortless authenticity, I capture your day as it unfolds, blending timeless artistry with genuine emotion. More than just beautiful images, this is about preserving the heart behind them — your love, your faith, your legacy.

From the moment we booked, Katie and her team were a dream to work with. Their communication was always punctual, succinct, and easy-going, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly timeless, personal, and stunning - Katie has an incredible talent for capturing the feeling and emotion of a moment, not just posed photos. She seamlessly blended into our wedding day, keeping the timeline on track and making sure everything ran smoothly. The photos she delivered are beyond what we could have imagined, and we'll continue to use katie for all of our life events that need to be captured. Katie is an all-around amazing person, and her work speaks for itself. We're so grateful we got to work with her for our wedding and engagement photos.
