I absolutely love documenting love — the laughter, the quiet moments, and everything in between! Getting to know my couples is one of my favorite parts of what I do. I’m easy-going, laid-back, and always focused on making sure your experience feels natural and completely you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Karen Boles Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication style was prompt, open and honest, and tactful. The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional - they were accurate, collaborative, and adaptive, delivering truly beautiful photos that captured all the special moments of our big day. Karen made sure to include everyone in our photos, even the siblings we had on FaceTime, and those images came out wonderfully. Karen is a powerhouse both as a photographer and a businesswoman - she was fully committed, staying in constant communication with us about every detail to give us peace of mind. What truly stood out was how much Karen cared about our photos; it wasn't just a job for her, she cared about our big day as much as we did. I can't recommend Karen Boles Photography enough - if you want to invest in a photographer who truly cares, it's them.

Connection is the key to meaningful photographs and an experience that you'll remember for a lifetime. I will laugh with you, cry with you, and photograph your wedding day as if it's my own. You're not seen as just a client, you're a friend (and I'm your new favorite third wheel!). I limit my bookings to 15 weddings per year, so I can give each couple my full attention and the best experience possible. Filling my calendar with back to back weddings is not my goal...I want to have the time to leave you with the memory of a day well-spent laughing, exploring, soaking up the sun (or rain) and breathing in the moment - simply because we can!

As a wedding planner in the Florida Keys, I’ve been lucky enough to work with Margeaux on multiple occasions. Her work is always spectacular…if you want gorgeous sunset photos at your wedding, she’s your girl! Margeaux goes above and beyond for our clients…I’ve even seen her get in the water just to get that perfect angle! I highly recommend working with her!

Awarded Best of Zola
Bhanu at Eternal Vistas showed he genuinely cared about making our day perfect. He was involved in planning every step of the wedding with us, and even monitored the forecast to suggest we order umbrellas last minute; this was a thoughtful touch that saved us. There were so many thoughtful touches that will not fit in this review (preparing a wedding outline, checking in on our mental health/stress levels when planning, suggesting a song to listen to while we looked at photos, and so many more things!!). We received sneak peek photos in less than 24 hours, and we were absolutely floored by the quality. They are beyond our wildest dreams. We had a main photographer, a videographer, and an assistant (an unexpected bonus assistant, I’ll add). Their attention to detail is clear in every shot, and the whole experience felt effortless. The value we got from working with them was outstanding and truly worthwhile. I could not recommend them enough to any couple looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond. My husband and I are grateful for Eternal Vistas and their passion for what they do. Thank you thank you thank you.

Hi! Im Courtney and im so glad you decided to give me a look! Here's a little bit about me! I am a full time mommy of 5 beautiful children. I am married to an amazing man, Dwight. He is very supportive in everything i do including my business and strives to help me in anyway he can. Many of you may see him accompanying me to your session, wedding or event. Our house is cluttered and chaotic 99.9% of the time but is filled with lots of love and laughs from our little family and i thank god everyday for letting me be their mama and wife.

In October of 2019, the love my life proposed to me. All excited and bushytail from the engagement I immediately started planning our wedding that night. Before 9pm I had our date set, May 15, 2021. I had asked a few people I knew what was the one thing they wished they could have redone or really could not live without. Most said "if you're going to spend money on a photographer, make sure to get a professional with plenty of experience." So I took those words and ran with it. Fast forward spring of 2020, COVID is new and at its prime. I stressed about getting a photographer and meeting one. That's when I found Courtney. From the first message I sent her, she made me feel at ease. She set up our first meeting over zoom and went through everything with us. Budget, theme, and most importantly what we wanted out of our photographer. She was very professional and set us up with a payment plan for the wedding package. Fast forward to our engagement session with her, she made everything go so smoothly as we did not have to worry about posing or being uncomfortable. The pictures were absolutely beautiful. Comes May 15, 2021 as any bride would be the nerves are as high as they can be. My soon to be husband has a large family so this weeding was bigger than expected. Courtney laid everything out and immediately went to work. Working around everyone. She already had a few things planned out and asked if there were anything we wanted specifically that we may have forgotten to tell her. She made me feel so at ease. The pictures we recieved were absolutely breathtaking and incredible. Courtney has been one of the most understanding and professional people I have ever met. Since our marriage in 2021 we have welcomed a beautiful baby girl in which Courtney done her newborn session and is about to do more photos for us. She has become our go to person when it comes to the best pictures. I highly recommend her!

We had such a great experience working with Jones Media from start to finish. The team communicated clearly with us before the wedding, which made planning feel easy and stress-free. On our big day, both the photographer and videographer went out of their way to help us. Our videographer spoke Spanish, which meant so much to my family, and our photographer stepped in when I got a stain on my dress—she helped me fix it without missing a beat. They truly understood our vision and captured it beautifully. We couldn't have asked for a better team to document our wedding.

I don't even know where to begin - Dani is simply amazing and if it were possible to give her a 10 star rating, I would. She not only captured my husband and I's intimate mountain top elopement, but her and Jed also followed us through out the rest of the day and photographed our reception that we held with family and friends. We are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable (even at 5am in the morning lol) and our photos prove it. Dani puts so much work into finding the perfect elopement locations and the most flattering lighting. My husband and I are BEYOND ecstatic with how our photos turned out - she captured who we truly are and how much love we have for each other. I can never thank them enough for how much work they put into our elopement and reception day. We are so happy to have these memories forever.

We hired Jeff to take photos for an intimate outdoor ceremony (us and 12 guests). The planning process was easy and stress free. Jeff slotted himself into the day seamlessly to capture candid moments in the ceremony and the time leading up to it. He was familiar with the venue (Ijams Nature Center) and we took a jaunt through the park after, where he was able to direct us to some of his favorite spots to take photos throughout. Jeff matched our vibe perfectly and made us feel comfortable and genuine throughout. And--of course--the photos came out beautifully.

My goal is to deliver timeless photos that let you step right back into how your wedding day felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

I’m Sam, a wedding photographer known for thoughtful details, images that feel effortless, and a calm presence. I’ve been photographing weddings across the U.S. since 2011. Most couples tell me they’re not comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s completely normal. I’m experienced at guiding people just enough to feel at ease. Outside of weddings, I’m usually at home with my husband and our three kids, which has taught me a lot about patience, flexibility, and staying calm when plans inevitably change. Skills that turn out to be very useful on a wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got engaged in 2023 and had planned for our wedding to be in July of 2025. For two years one of our biggest challenges was finding a photographer that was in our budget, that would still provide us with the perfect product we had invisioned in our minds. We had searched high and low finding MANY photographers that will say they can adjust their packages to fit our budget, and still somehow come up with a total of 4000 dollars. Then we found Sam. I was hesitant at first because I wanted a specific style I hadn’t seen in her galleries, a more sultry- whimsical- cinematic/ dramatic candid feel. However when I brought that up to Sam she had reassured me that her range of editorial styles and shooting styles was very large as she’s been doing this for YEARS, and had sent me some separate more recent shots she had taken to prove that. We had talked very in detail for days about the hours ineeded from her, pricing, I also explained she would be traveling (which is never a problem for Sam. She loves traveling! ) and we had made a very well customized package trimmed to fit my hours and budget. In the end I received ALL the pictures taken edited exactly how we wanted them. On the wedding day Sam did an amazing job of helping, taking charge of things, and making sure all of our needs were met. I swear she was half wedding planner half photographer. If I needed people to do something she made it happen if I needed people to start getting ready for pictures-she was on it. Her time management is absolutely insane and such a blessing to have on your wedding day. She had some of the best ideas I’ve ever heard when it came to certain poses I wanted accomplished or specific visions I had. She was energetic, hilarious, and made sure everyone had the best time taking these pictures. I couldn’t recommend Sam enough. She truly is a photography wizard and will have all of your wedding day dreams come true.

Hi, my name is Faith. I have been passionate about photography since 2017, when I first picked up a camera to capture my dogs growing up. What started as a simple love for photographing my pups has evolved into a deep passion for capturing moments that tell a story. Traveling is another love of mine, and Africa holds a particularly special place in my heart. I have been fortunate enough to visit four times, with hopes to have many more trips. When I am not behind the camera, I'm either coaching gymnastics, spending time with my two dogs and horse, or exploring the world around me.

From the moment we booked Faith M. Photography, she was a dream to work with. Her communication was always prompt, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Faith was flexible with her schedule, willing to travel to our venue location, and captured so many special candid moments that we'll cherish forever. She even humored us with some silly photos we requested. Her creative, affordable photography exceeded our expectations and perfectly captured our style and sense of humor. We're so grateful to have found Faith M. Photography and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Hey, I’m Richard Nice to meet you. If you’re wondering who’s behind the camera, you came to the right place. To sum myself up in an “about me” section is nearly impossible, but here are a few things you must know I'm Currently located in the St. Augustine Fl, Iv been taking pictures ever since I could hold a camera, back when we only had disposables ones, but that is when the love for photography started, that's when it was embedded in my mind that I will all way be screeching for the Ultimate photo. Now on top of all that I just recently got married on 02.22.22 so iv been in your shoes with the beautiful chaos that is planning a wedding.

BOOK HIM!! I found Richard on the knot and I booked him for our engagement photos and our wedding in 2023!! I was looking for a reasonable price but for the best quality photos! I am so glad I chose Ultimate Photos! He responds in a very timely matter, he is very attentive! We had to reschedule our photos due to bad weather but he was able to get us in the next weekend !!! First off he took off the whole day to do our engagement shoot! He told us that he is free the whole day to get the shots we wanted which you don’t get that type of commitment often! He let us do two different outfits and guided us on what to wear so we don’t clash in the photos. At first me and my fiancé were pretty nervous as we have not had any professional photos done before but Richard gave us directions and made us feel super comfortable. We did our shoot at Hanna park in Jacksonville it was beautiful! You can tell he is very passionate and loves what he does! Our finished photos were everything we imagined! They are all so beautiful and all our family and friends love them and we’ve gotten so many compliments!! The quality is stunning and the angles and the lighting capture the day perfectly! He did a fantastic job at showing our love through the photos! So excited for the wedding!!

Hi, I’m Sarah, the photographer behind Booth Creative Co., a Wilmington, North Carolina wedding photographer serving couples across North Carolina and beyond. I believe wedding photos should feel like you. The quiet in-between moments, the laughter with your favorite people, the unexpected emotions, and the timeless portraits you and your family will treasure for years. My approach blends documentary storytelling with classic, intentional portraiture. Whether your celebration is laid-back and spontaneous or more traditional and structured, I adapt to what matters most and create honest images that reflect the true feeling of your day.

We couldn’t be happier with Sarah’s work. We switched things up and did a one year celebration of marriage party since we got married at the courthouse. I was worried I was going to make things difficult not being an actual wedding but from the very beginning her communication was confident, clear, and easy she made us feel so comfortable! The quality of her work is truly amazing, the end result is a stunning collection of images that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Booth Creative Co. LLC to any couple planning their wedding!

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Eugene was responsive, flexible, and overall had such an incredible eye. He was super open to my suggestions, but also at the various spots gave great advice and helped us pose in a way that looked natural. I could not be more thrilled with our sneak peak, and all of our friends and family have been blown away with the photos so far. Eugene was excellent at getting candids, the formal, photos, and especially the romantic photos I had saved from pinterest. I spent hours and hours researching photographers as that was most important to me, and I am so glad I went with Eugene. We will be referring him to all our friends who get married nearby!

No trends, no awkward poses. Just love, laughter and emotion.  While photographs are one of the few things you walk away from your wedding with, they aren’t the sole purpose of your event. You are there to get married, see your people, and celebrate this moment in your life. The photographs come far after that. This day is all about your love for each other. However you naturally stand together, embrace each other, whether you visit people on different sides of the room or hold hands all day, whatever story you tell on your wedding day is going to be preserved as such. Weddings are just love stories wrapped up into one day.

Daria and her partner were so wonderful to work with. They made everything quick and easy and got beautiful photos for us. They were also so quick to send previews after both our rehearsal and our wedding! Highly recommend using them for your big day.

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!
