For inquiries, email me at: hello at brandonsallinger .com or send me an inquiry through my website! I'm Brandon, an Orlando-based, fine art wedding photographer. With over 7 years of experience and 10 countries under my belt, you can rest easy knowing I've got you covered. My specialty is making sure your experience is as flawless as your photographs, and I'd love to help your wedding feel as carefree as your honeymoon.

I worked alongside Brandon at a wedding on 07/01/23 and I have to say that he is extremely professional and courteous. He also has a very calming demeanor, his approach from my perspective eased the newly weds and made demanding shot lists and stressful wedding day tasks a breeze. As a fellow professional I can honestly say that he is very easy to work with. I would describe him as cool, calm and collective but also thorough. He didn’t interfere with my processes at all and also managed to get everything he needed to capture. On top of all that his work is phenomenal! Highly recommend to anyone looking for great work from a great guy!

East Freetown, MA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

HI EVERYONE! My mother was the first Photographer in the family (30+ years in photography); she was my mentor, and my best friend… She recently passed due to cancer in late 2021. I've learned so much from her its indescribable. I’ve also have had the honor to be mentored at a young age by other acclaimed photographers and directors. Since childhood, I found that with photography, I could get to know people and at the same time capture emotions through images. Being able to translate feeling into an image is and will always be my lifelong goal. Multi published and award-winning photographer.

We chose Alec to do our photoshoot and there was not an ounce of being let down!! It was our first photoshoot together and Alec made the whole experience fun, comfortable and enjoyable! His instructions on poses were very easy to understand and he guided you step by step. My boyfriend has had multiple photoshoot done before and said Alec was the most professional photographer he has ever worked with. I would definitely be making my next photoshoots with him again in the future and I will highly recommend him for any photoshoot needs!!

Andria Lindquist

Shoreline, WA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,600

I don’t take myself too seriously. I like to have a good time. I spelI things how i want and I will never wait for a crosswalk. I prefer quality over quantity. Unless we’re talking about coffee, chocolate, wine, shopping, and deals…then i want quality and quantity. I’ve got a potty mouth and a good heart. I give so many fucks about what I do. The details, the experience and creating some real good imagery. I’m an artist and I want to create something beautiful for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
From a videographer’s perspective: we can only sing Andria’s praises. As a professional, as an artist, and as a person, she is of the highest caliber. We LOVE working with her because we know the flow will be smooth and our goals will sync for the benefit of our clients. The energy she exudes is infectious, making anyone around her at ease. When you hear the word "artist," think Andria. That's truly what she is and what she brings to every wedding. Hiring her is more than a worthy decision, not only for all she delivers to her clients, but for the seamless collaboration she offers other vendors. Don't let her pass you by!

Brianna Kirk Photography | Super 8 Film, 35mm, Digital Photo & Video

5.0

Minneapolis, MN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

Hey there, I'm Brianna! I am an film lovin', free-spirited, traveling photographer. I'm based out of Minnesota and available for wherever your love takes us. I'm all about documenting love stories in a creative, documentary style that captures all the real stuff—candid moments, quirky expressions of love, and genuine personalities. My style comes from a balanced blend of documentary and editorial influences.

Brianna is beyond anything we could have imagined from our wedding photographer! We were very picky when we set out to look for wedding photographers - we wanted our photos to feel authentic and genuine to our personalities and we wanted a photographer who matched our overall wedding vibes. Brianna far exceeded our (very high) expectations. Brianna perfectly captured the beauty of every moment of our day. Plus, the super 8 film is stunning! It is amazing the emotion that Brianna captures in her work. And, as if it couldn't get any better, we felt such a genuine connection to Brianna. She was incredibly affirming to both me and my partner. I simply cannot imagine a better experience than the one we got with Brianna. If you are looking for a photographer who is responsive to your requests, a true artist, and affirming of queer love then look no further because Brianna is a perfect fit! - Annie Olson

DuHon Photography

Washington, DC
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000

Growing up in rural Virginia my intro to photography came to me at 14 while breaking into abandoned houses with friends to take photos that can only be describe in retrospection as “experimental”. Fast forward a handful of years and I found myself going 'legit' and holding a BFA in photography, later finding yet more perspective and cutting my teeth shooting society events in NYC. Having now spent more years of my life taking photos than not, it’s safe to say that I’m all in.

Cassidy has an amazing report when working with clients and the staff on weddings. We have absolutely had the best experiences from the booking process, through to the ease of the day of the wedding. Always being great at transitioning the clients, bringing smiles to their faces and then producing beautiful imagery. We have loved working with Cassidy for the last 8 years and know that he bring professionalism, a unique perspective, and humor to ever wedding day.

Asher was the photographer for our wedding just a month ago. I am so happy I chose her! We received superb service, professionalism, and most importantly the highest quality photos I could have asked for. Asher’s photos have a very natural quality which was so important to me. And she even made it a painless experience for my husband who isn’t a fan of being photographed! My bridal party and family loved her. As an extremely selective bride with very specific taste- I couldn’t have been more satisfied. I highly recommend!

At times we forgot she was even there when she was taking the photos. She captured all the moments we had hoped for and so many more special moments! Her down to earth and friendly personality made the whole environment on a stressful day very calm and relaxed. The photos were unbelievable and we can’t stop looking at them, even now, 7 months after our wedding! We are forever grateful!

Kathleen Baker Photography

5.0

Virginia Beach, VA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $8,997

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. Her professionalism and quality of product are unmatched. She goes above and beyond with her work and you can tell how passionate she is about it. If you want someone with great energy, clear communication, incredible products, great professionalism, and so much more then she’s your girl!

Pembroke Pines, FL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,500

It all started with my camera. My passion for photography started back in New York, it's kind of like a NYC love story. My girlfriend at the time, and now wife, gifted me my first "real" camera because at the time I was starting my Commercial Photography studies. From there we started shooting together and as I fell more in love with her, I also fell more in love with photography. A craft that still is my biggest passion. We have been shooting weddings for ten years and we know how important this day is for you. That is why we will always go the extra mile and document your day in a way that you are able to look back and relive your day.

Enuel is an incredible photographer who will always make you laugh and enjoy your sessions. He truly invests his time to make you feel comfortable and at ease while creating some awesome images.

Nicole was able to wrangle our three young nephews for family portraits, as well as grab my dog's attention. We look forward to seeing the final photos, but know we will not be disappointed.

Bo and her assistant were absolutely amazing. Bo was very organised through the planning process, responding to emails quickly, and assisting with any questions I had. She was flexible in adjusting the contract after life got crazy and we weren't able to squeeze in our engagement photos. On the day, she was incredible. She knew exactly where to go, was calm throughout when everyone decided they wanted group photos after the ceremony and ate into the sunset hour. She and her assistant worked seamlessly, was never intruding, and took gorgeous photos and I will forever be grateful!

Twah Dougherty Photography

5.0

New York, NY
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $25,000

Twah is pronounced as it’s spelled or like “3” in French. My boutique photography business is rooted in NYC but always ready to travel the world. As a former NYC Fashion Designer, I take my knowledge of style & weave it into my photography approach. I believe: 1. Your wedding day should not be spent in long posed formal photo sessions. 2. Personal details are an integral part of your day’s story. 3. Wedding images should be timeless yet stylishly current and natural. 3. Making the most of a rainy day or a mishap usually ends up being fun memories to look back on. 4. Beauty is within. Positivity radiates. Authenticity is perfection.

Twah is an artist, a professional and an amazing spirit to work with. She is fantastic for the bride and groom as well as the planner. We highly highly recommend Twah for her process, her kindness, and her product. She cares about the client and all of the details of the day and goes unnoticed while capturing it all.

The Greens Photo

5.0

New York, NY
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,000

I’ve dedicated years to learning the ins and outs of wedding formalities, but it’s the oft-forgotten bits of emotion that make the day feel so exceedingly special, not the shot list. With a day full of nothing but emotion, it’s easy for some moments to slip past unnoticed, but not by me. I’ll be there to make sure the heart of your day makes its way back to you — so you can remember what really mattered on your wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we begin with The Greens? Finding the perfect photographer(s) to capture all those important moments on your wedding day can be a hard task, but Zac and Madison made saying yes to them so easy. We first met The Greens for our engagement photo session and knew that it was important to see how we all interacted. Not only did we have so much fun hanging out with them, our pictures were absolutely beautiful. We could only imagine how our wedding pictures would turn out. We received sneak peeks just the morning after and couldn't believe how fast and dedicated they were to make sure we got them. This was the same case for our wedding also which was incredible. The Greens worked really well with our wedding planner and helped make our wedding day run so smoothly. Their personalized photography timeline proved how well organized they are, and we kept getting compliments from our wedding guests how fun, friendly, and engaging Zac and Madison. We could go on and on about how great The Greens are because they really are. We are so thankful to have met them and if you're looking for what we believe are the best wedding photographers, Zac and Madison are it.

Sufia Huq Portraits

Lakeland, FL
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500

I’m a Sunshine State native, a Pisces, and a lover of the outdoors. Photography is my favorite way to connect with people. The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank Sufia enough, for the beautiful photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. I was so nervous to take photos, as I hate having my photo taken at all, that I delayed it for so long. Now, I wish I hadn’t! I’m just seriously blown away, Sufia made me feel like a model! And she was able to capture the love we have for one another in every photo. Not only is she obviously gifted with a talent to really capture people at their most beautiful, but she is such a wonderful person to I have to say I can’t recommend Sufia Huq Portraits highly enough. She has photographed so many important milestones for my family but she truly rose above and beyond all of my expectations as a wedding photographer. I initially hired Sufia for my engagement photos but after seeing how perfect they turned out, I knew she was the only person I could trust with my wedding! On the day of my wedding it truly felt like everything was going wrong. It was raining. I got second degree burns on my chest from a steamer. I had vendors threatening to leave and the catering company stealing my food. The ONE thing that eased the stress of that day was my incredible photographer. Despite how stressed I was, Sufia managed to bring me back into the moment and to capture timeless portraits of my wedding day with my husband, closest friends, and family. When I look back through the photos of my wedding day (which I do often because I’m obsessed), I don’t think about all of the craziness. I think about those precious moments Sufia captured for me. Sufia was more than just a photographer that day. She was a cheerleader. She was a hype woman. She was a friend. She was more than just accommodating. She was flexible. She was dependable. She was KIND. Sufia is an amazing human being with an amazing talent. A wedding day is a huge deal. Sufia Huq Portraits will not disappoint in quality or in kindness.

I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid. My mom was a wedding photographer also. I spend my days taking photos because it inspires me and fills me with joy. To me, there is nothing better than capturing a beautiful moment. I have photographed weddings all over the US TX, NY and the Hudson Valley, the East Coast, as well as in Europe, the Caribbean, & Hawaii. A few more things about me… I love the ocean, traveling, exploring, hiking, dancing, the change of seasons, the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, walking without a destination, that few minutes of magical golden light before the sun sets, life… and telling stories with photographs.

I would highly recommend Kimberly Mufferi Photography. She was a dream to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Kimberly shot our engagement, wedding and also a bridal portrait session with just me the day of our wedding-which I highly recommend! it was a great warm up for the wedding photos.

When I'm not shooting weddings, I’m a total beach bum. This might sound like an oxymoron coming from a native Montrealer, but I adore the ocean (and very much dislike winter). I swim and surf whenever possible, and I get out to the Rockaways as often as I can. I do a ton of beach photography, including a series about couples at the beach, and I’ve been published a few times, including here and here. If you see me at the beach, come say hi, and let’s have a frozen drink together.

As a wedding planner, I absolutely LOVE working with Erica. She's incredibly responsive, communicative, and professional leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day. My couples adore her and I know they are always going to be in great hands with her. She has a knack for making people comfortable in front of the camera, even if they have some jitters initially, and capturing all of their love and energy. Her photos are always amazing and she's a go-to recommendation for all of my couples.

Tess and Julia Weddings

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800

Our names are Tess Mayer & Julia Wang and we are photography duo based in NYC. We met our freshman year at NYU Tisch and since then have run a magazine together, worked as teaching assistants at ICP & NYU, and shot our first wedding our senior year. Our style is a blend of candid documentary and stylized portraiture - we approach your day not as strangers following you around, but as excited guests (who happen to be carrying around cameras and massive lenses) who will most likely cry during your vows. We love small, intimate and relaxed weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
We knew Tess personally and contacted her about photographing our wedding because we were fans of her professional work. It was one of the best choices of our no-frills wedding. We chose to get married at the courthouse in downtown Brooklyn on a Friday morning with family and then have a separate party in Williamsburg the following night with family and friends. With Tess, we were able to put all the photography stuff on auto-pilot and never worry about it. The planning process was extremely easy. Once we got her price (which was more than reasonable and a really good value) and paid half for a deposit, she blocked off the two days she would join us. Other than planning to take an extra hour or two after the Friday ceremony, that was all the preparation that went into it. She may have scouted the area in person or via map or just known the area. Either way, she was really in control with a plan once we got there. On the day of the ceremony, Tess came to the courthouse and basically just worked her magic. We were able to go on with whatever we had to do and Tess just moved around and through us taking photos opportunistically. She got some action shots of us in the waiting room and signing the papers and some portraits with our flowers and family. Tess's major strength is finding amazing scenes in the moment, and you don't even know they're happening. She has an amazing eye for pictures. And best of all, she captured them with us being able to go on with our day, barely noticing her darting around us. She of course photographed the little ceremony in the courthouse and then we took about an hour in the big hallway for family portraits. She was fast at organizing us and snapping through all the necessary combinations of people. Very efficient. Then we went outside with a smaller group and went to a few nice locations nearby. On the steps of a municipal building, crossing the street to a little park, and then the subway. It was fast, it was efficient, and we didn't even know until later how amazing the photos really were. They are not average photos. They are unique and artistic and beautiful. Once again Tess found the little scenes happening in front of us. She really has a great eye for framing and light. We didn't know just how cool they were until we saw them later. We then took a 30 minute subway ride getting some classic New York shots. On the second day, Tess arrived at the location of our party, and once again it was stress-free. She spent 2-3 hours weaving through the crowd capturing action shots of talking, eating, drinking, dancing, and also was very good at putting groups together every now and then and taking group portraits. It was the least hassling part of the party. Maybe a week or two later she sent us a link to the photos. She sifted through all of them (somehow), got rid of the bad ones, and touched up the good ones. We were able to download the folders of photos so we could share with our friends. Later, we ended up printing some glossy pictures of our favorite artsy shots from outside the courthouse and on the subway to put up in our apartment. And from time to time we print some little ones for little frames too. Whenever we want, we can tap into our repository and remember the great weekend. All in all, there were 500-600 photos that amazingly captured everything we would've wanted without us worrying if anyone was there to capture it.

It's YOUR friggin' wedding and I promise you tons of laughs, creativity, and killer photos. I love working with people and find inspiration in REAL life couples. We have fun, we get silly... hell, we even get a little weird if you're into it (safe word is, "Camera Shy") 😳. At the same time I obsess over crafting exceptional and authentic images. So whether you're some groovy hip kids or a couple of squares, let's go make some art together. I’ll put in the blood, sweat, and tears… you just show up. By the end of your wedding day, we will be best friends. I believe so much in marriage and weddings and truly enjoy being a part of them.

My wife Maria and I had Mike shoot our special day! We just got the pics back and were blown away!!! Great job Mike and thank you for allowing us to relive this day!

Hiring Cheryl to handle our wedding weekend photography was, hands down, one of our best decisions leading up to the big day. Throughout the months leading up to our wedding, she was communicative, understanding, collaborative, and responsive. On the weekend itself, she and her partner, Will, were a nice addition of consistency and patience in a day that threw us more than a few curveballs. Their attention to detail, artistic vision, and genuine sense of adventure and fun made us confident that they had the pictures all under control. Having now received those pictures, we can unequivocally say that Cheryl is more than worth her weight in gold. We now have photos of not only ourselves and our family, but also of every single guest at our wedding, candids and portraits alike, that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. From rehearsal dinner to afterparty, she captured every detail with a thoughtful and fun loving gaze. Her joy and love for her craft comes through in every image. You can tell that she puts as much effort into the editing and curation of the gallery as she does in preparing for the day. We truly cannot recommend Cheryl Cole Photography enough. If you’re reading this, just book them already.

Sylvia did such an amazing job capturing our wedding(s). Due to COVID, my husband and I had both a tiny wedding thrown together at the last minute in my in-laws living room as well as a much larger wedding/reception when more family could attend. In some of our wedding photos we were in a beautiful wedding hall and in others we were in the middle of a living room, but every single photo is absolutely gorgeous!

This is going to be a long BUT WORTHY review because we cannot say enough AMAZING things about Julie - she is the best photographer ever! Working with Julie was a highlight of our wedding day. She has a very calming presence ad knowing she was there taking my photos made me so happy. She took our wedding photos and an engagement photo shoot and is truly one of the kindest people I have ever met! She has excellent communication and responds to calls and texts almost instantly, which was so reassuring because I was running late getting to the venue and she was fine walking around and getting a lay of the land before I got there. From the initial phone call to hear about her services and ask questions, I knew without a doubt she would be our photographer. She explained her wedding packages, her experience with photography and it felt like I was having a conversation with a friend and throughout the wedding process ad the big day, I feel like we have become great friends. She personalized our photo experience to match our style and that is so apparent in all of the photos. She provided the wedding photos within 6 weeks of the wedding day and kept me in the loop on timing and sent amazing preview pictures. She has a very easy to use gallery in which a link is provided, and you can download all of the photos. I got so many compliments from guests that she was so friendly and took so many great photos. For someone who worries about everything, photos was something I did not have to worry about because she knows exactly what photos should be taken and took suggestions for poses we wanted (it was a wedding on a tennis court so we had a few specific poses we wanted). She got so many great photos of guests, family photos, candid photos during our vow exchange and other times and during the ceremony that every emotion we were feeling was captured on film. My husband hates photos, but Julie is such a calming presence that even my husband and some family members who don’t like photos really enjoyed taking photos. She can strike up a conversation with anyone and is a ball of positive energy, which is a must have on a wedding day! Everyone that talked to her was delighted to meet her and said she was the best photographer they have met, and I couldn’t agree more. I am still amazed at the photos we received. She made the colors of the flowers, my hair (redhead) and the colors of the bridal party dresses pop in a way I didn’t even know was possible. She truly captured every emotion of the day. I couldn’t be happier with the photos and cannot wait for Julie to take more photos in the future for our family!

I recently met Reese and had the honor of working two weddings with her so far. As a videographer, I'm always nervous to work with a photographer for the first time. I want to be able to capture the couple's special day alongside the photographer and I'm never sure if they'll hold space for me or treat me well. Working alongside Reese has been such a sigh of relief. She's cool, down to earth, has a great sense of humor, and has always made sure that we were working together and never jeopardized my role for a second. She would frequently ask if I had everything I needed for my shots, would work with me on our positioning for big moments like the ceremony and first dances, and her creative style aligns so well with mine. I look forward to working more weddings with her in the future!

My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Awarded Best of Zola
In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

Sure - there are many talented photographers in the area for clients to choose from (Jessamyn being one of them). It's obvious by looking at her portfolio that she takes beautiful photographs but what you can't see online is how easy Jessamyn is to work with. When clients ask for advice on hiring a photographer, I always say that it's important that you choose a photographer who you are comfortable with. If you are uncomfortable, it will show in your photos. Jessamyn is extremely laid back in a good way. She goes with the flow and is a joy to work with. Her positive attitude and flexibility is truly what sets her apart from the many talented photographers in our area. I can't recommend Jessamyn enough!

I'm admittedly wary when it comes to the Wedding Industry and all of it's bells/whistles/expectations, and at the same time, I believe wholeheartedly in the power of community, love, commitment, and collective joy. I think that weddings-- in all of their forms and reclamations-- ultimately serve a great purpose in reminding us of these gifts. I come from a long line of meticulous documenters and hold a degree in Sociology, all of which informs the way I approach photography. I am curious about people, am in awe of the display of emotion, and am passionate about the ways in which we construct family and community.

Kenzie was able to effortlessly find the natural moments of our wedding that captured the joy and emotion of the day. She was able to make our photos feel more editorial instead of the cheesy stock photography wedding photos you see so much. Of course she can also do the posed family photos (which she was able to do in an organized yet relaxed way).

And now I get to be invited into such intimate spaces with that camera, documenting timeless moments at weddings — moments that you don’t want to forget and that you’ll look back on years from now. Every wedding I document blows me away and I always feel grateful and privileged to do this work, to be trusted with the gift of freezing time through a photograph.

Cameron added so much value to our wedding day - he showed up early ready to capture the day, brought literally so many cameras (film and digital), worked seamlessly with our other vendors, made group photos fun for a huge, diverse group of people, and generally helped us have the easiest and most fun day. He is a philosopher creative who truly brings depth of meaning to the experience! Super encouraging guy who loves people the way they are, rather than taking photos that look like it could have been any person or any wedding... he got to know us, made us feel known and loved, and celebrated us uniquely. Huge fan of this guy and the way he does his work! Highly recommended.

What keeps me wanting to photograph more weddings is the realization that every wedding carries a different story longing to be told. No two weddings have ever felt the same to me, and when I walk into yours, all the images I have made at other weddings are forgotten. I see it a bit like jazz, or French cuisine--the ingredients are simple and pretty much always the same, but the outcomes are always unique, never to be reproduced to the identical.

Awarded Best of Zola
Fabrice is an artist of the finest caliber and he will deliver above and beyond your expectations. I cannot stress this to you enough: Book him immediately! Fabrice excels at both pieces of the wedding photographer's role: the experience of having him photograph the event, and the photos he delivers at the end. On your wedding day: He of course will follow your requested shoot list, portraits of family, and whatever else you want to prioritize for your wedding day. *But the real magic Fabrice delivers is that everyone forgets he is there.* Your family doesn't feel like they're being stalked by paparazzi or in a never ending staged photo shoot. I don't know how he does it, he didn't meet anyone in my family before our wedding, but every photo he delivered was an authentic reflection of that person and the moment. Nothing felt strained, staged, or uncomfortable for the subjects. Several of my family members, including my husband, don't love being photographed, and Fabrice was sensitive to that without losing anything important. He melts into the background and captures the smallest, lovely moments you didn't even know were happening. My favorite photo is our dads sitting on couches opposite each other by a doorframe while the wedding party was getting ready, which Fabrice noticed and shot without them even realizing. When he delivers the photos: The story of our wedding was told brilliantly in the first set of preview photos, which he delivered very quickly after the wedding, and even more so when we saw the full set of photos and the album. He's very responsive and delivered the shots exactly on the promised timeline. He weaves the narrative structure beautifully - the wedding album he delivered (after very politely waiting for a long time for me to mark my favorites) is truly a work of art. 10/10 recommend to a friend!

Her team is professional and responsive and the photos are seriously BEAUTIFUL! She captured such genuine emotion in her photos and we are so grateful that she was available for our wedding. She also helped us put together our wedding timeline which was beyond helpful. Her editing style is so natural and the coloring on the edited photos look exactly like the colors of that day, instead of a heavy filter. It was one of the main reasons why I wanted to book Alyssa and she delivered above and beyond! If Alyssa and her team are available for your wedding BOOK THEM ASAP!

I made a conscious decision early on in my career that I wanted to LOVE what I do and do what I love. With a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and photography you could say I’m one of the few that stuck with my major and still love it to this day. I’m a helpless romantic, a wife, a mother, a worldwide traveler a marathon runner and a wedding photographer. Deciding who will bring your memories to life is one of your most important ones. When the whirlwind and excitement of the day is over, beautifully captured images will be what help you revisit the romance, emotion and spirit of all of those little moments.

Without a doubt, Christine was our very favorite vendor to work with for our wedding day! We are so happy to have had her as our wedding photographer, and will absolutely be recommending her to all of our newly engaged friends and family members! From the very beginning of our wedding planning process, Christine was SO kind, responsive, flexible, and patient. She spent time getting to know us as a couple, the vision for our wedding day, and what our schedule for the day would look like. She played a huge role in making sure the day ran smoothly and that we had time for all of the photos we wanted. I'm confident in saying that we (myself, my husband, our families, and wedding party) felt calm and comfortable all day because of Christine! Her experience in this industry truly speaks for itself. Most importantly, Christine effortlessly and perfectly captured so many special moments throughout our day - we could not be more grateful! She is an incredibly talented photographer and so much fun to work with. We are completely blown away by the photos that we've received - we cannot stop looking through them, and so many people have been wanting to know who our photographer was. Obviously, we are recommending her to everyone without hesitation. Thank you, Christine, for providing us with the most beautiful wedding photos that we will always cherish!

At the heart of my process, I believe in being a calming presence who gives you room to be the most genuine version of yourself in front of my camera, gently guiding you with prompts while capturing sophisticated portraits and true moments. As a bride, you know how fleeting the moments of your wedding day will pass you by. So rather than worrying if you’re missing any of it you value being present, and will hire a photographer who will allow you to do just that. This trust grants you the ability to live in the moment while we’re documenting them for you telling the story of your relationships with a gentle authenticity.

My husband and I got married in December 2022 and realized a bit last-minute that we needed a Rehearsal Dinner photographer! Amanda was so accommodating and scheduled a conversation before the big weekend to go over all of our photo dreams and logistics. Not only is Amanda warm, kind, and easy to work with, her photos are absolutely stunning! Her work is light and airy with an incredibly timeless feel. With all the excitement and nerves of wedding weekend, Amanda was the calming presence we needed before our Rehearsal! We loved her photos so much, that we scheduled a Christmas card/one-year wedding anniversary photoshoot with her one year later in November 2023, with two large pups in tow! We give our highest recommendation for Amanda and her work and we are so lucky to call her our new family photographer!

She was hands down the easiest person to talk with about our vision and seamlessly navigated getting ready, ceremony, and after party photos.

The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again.

She made my husband and I feel comfortable, constantly checked in with our needs, and is incredibly talented.

We concentrate not only on the big picture, but also we take pride in capturing the sincere fleeting moments that evoke the senses the very essence of photography.

Where do I start…I have so many things to praise about Matthew and his team at CLY by Matthew. The search for our photographer took forever, but once I found CLY and Matthew’s work, it was essentially an instantaneous decision. I left the intro meeting/conversation 100% sure we’d hire him. His and his team’s photography is beautiful, elegant, classic, and natural – and it was so easy to work with them from a fit and personality standpoint. I’ll admit, it’s a little awkward to pose for photography! But in the months leading up, and the day of, the wedding, Matthew and his team made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Matthew is one of the kindest people ever, and his calm demeanor made everything so pleasant and easy (especially with the frantic nature of wedding planning!) We are in LOVE with the photos we got back. We still can’t even believe it’s us, and our wedding, because the CLY team captured everything so amazingly. It’s surreal! We are so lucky to have found them and worked with Matthew. I’m hoping to find an excuse in the future to work with him again for professional photography.

Authentic, timeless, essence, natural, and candid are the most significant narratives when capturing a wedding day and are always at the center of the brand's heart. We love natural light, a strong action-stopping camera flash, capturing enchanting couples with inventive dance moves, making new friends, a flowing champagne tower, and a heartfelt toast.

I LOVE working with Ivy. I sifted through what felt like 50 wedding photographers and came out completely defeated because while they were talented, their photos didn't capture what I was hoping to remember looking back at my wedding day photos. Then I randomly found Ivy and she easily is the best thing I've ever found on Google, no joke, hahah. Her style of photography and approaching our wedding day allowed us to still take the traditional family portraits, but honestly, I hardly look back on those compared to how much I fawn over all of the other photos of the day/night that she took. They look straight from a magazine and Ivy made it so easy to be comfortable and completely trust that she would give us incredible photos, which she totally did. I seriously can't recommend Ivy enough. I actually still keep in touch with her because she's so talented and we collaborate often! (:

I believe love and light are two of the closest things we have to real magic. We're so fortunate that photography utilizes both. Art, storytelling, and connection have stood the test of time throughout human history. We were designed to create, entertain, and love. I approach each wedding day like it's the most important love story that will ever be told. Because to you, it is. I approach most of the day with a photojournalistic approach. Then during portraits I'm skilled at both posing you beautifully enough to be an editorial piece and prompting you in ways to bring out cinematic romance.

Lynzee is simply the best of the best. She is intensely creative, enthusiastically supportive and downright fun to be around on a wedding day. She can whip a wedding party or unruly family into shape with the kindness and firmness of a true professional and makes sure to get everything you want and then some from your photography experience. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for emotional, colorful and unique engagement and wedding photographs you will cherish for a lifetime.

I find the excitement, nervousness, love, and joy inspiring to create great photographs that tell a story. I have been in love with photography since I've been a kid. Since then I have photographed actors, film directors, authors, and some very unique characters that have informed my perspective on life.

We hired Pat to do photographs for our wedding in 2016 - which was an informal event in our back garden in San Francisco with our family and friends on a glorious July day. Pat was lovely to work with. We only needed to chat a few times beforehand. And then on the day, she was a discreet, low-key presence - but somehow managed to capture us, our family, and friends in a joyous celebration.

Hey hey!! SO STOKED you're here! My name's Lennie! I'm based in Portland, OR but have been documenting engagements + tiny weddings all over the country since 2017. I'm a hardcore introverted enneagram 9 and am obsessed with my doggo, my husband, and all things travel!

Picking a photographer is not an easy task but once I saw Lennie's Instagram and realized she had done one of my favorite family photo shoots of my sister-in-law and her family, I knew it had to be her. After meeting her and going over wedding details I knew there wasn’t a better photographer for us out there. Lennie made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and during our engagement shoot. She had fun games to play that made for the cutest pictures. She is very responsive and quick to answer emails and was willing to do whatever she could to make sure I got everything I needed day of photographed. I truly couldn’t imagine the photos being any better and we’ve only received the sneak peek so far. Even the second shooter was super sweet and friendly. Our photos were the most important thing to us and Lennie exceeded ALL expectations, truly blew them out of the water and we are forever grateful to her and her talent! I'd post our entire engagement and wedding album if I could and I could write a book about how amazing she is!

We want to capture it naturally while having fun and making it least stressful as possible. We would love to be apart of your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Connor & Emma were an absolute dream to have capture our special day. They gave us the gift of getting to be completely present throughout our wedding. Instead of being torn between wanting to enjoy every second while also capturing every moment on our phones/cameras, we got to just live in the moment and know they would take care of giving us lasting memories in the form of photos/videos (which they did an exceptional job at btw!!!) Could not recommend them enough and we will definitely be reaching out to them whenever we need an event captured again. Thank you again Connor & Emma! On behalf of all of our family and friends, you guys are amazing and we were so lucky to have you there on the best day of our lives! -Brianna, Bud, and Bart Jr

I mix editorial and documentary style photography for a wedding gallery that feels nostalgic and luxurious. I am here to make the never-shot-before-couple look like they belong in a magazine spread and I will capture candid, living, details and moments on your wedding day that will bring you back to that first touch time and time again. We offer wedding photography and super 8 films.

Booking with Brittany was one the best choices for my husband and I for our wedding and engagement photos. From the beginning, Brittany was very attentive and truly got to know us as a couple. She is so talented at finding the best/creative poses and making you feel comfortable during the process. The editing style of her photos create such a dreamy and moody vibe that look timeless. I am so thankful we got to know Brittany, she is such a caring and friendly person. I will always recommend her to everyone looking to get their photos taken. We are so looking forward to booking with Brittany in the future!

Working as a full time commercial photographer, I wanted to take a step back and reconnect with why I fell in love with photography. I love to create imagery that will continue to be a reminder of the couples special day as well as art that they are able to share with others.

Maggie was very professional and friendly! She made that chaotic day a little less chaotic. Took pictures of things from the wedding that i didn’t even think of. So happy with the time we had with her and the hundreds of pictures we got from that day!

Artistic storytelling for the fun, kind and adventurous. Hi friend! :) I'm your neighborhood artist, goofy empath, & lover of dogs and human beans. (Name is pronounced Hasmeen, kinda like jalapeño) My goal is to be a source of joy and vulnerability in your life while helping you feel grounded on your big day and ~even more~ grateful for the life you live and the love you choose. 

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I booked Jazmin for our fall wedding in the panhandle of Texas. Right from the start, she was such a joy to work with! Between our first video call to make sure we were a good fit, doing her online questionnaire (which was a lot of fun), and the call closer to the big day where Jazmin helped my coordinator and I with the photography timeline, Jazmin was helpful, cheerful, and made me feel so at ease. Booking her for our wedding was the easiest choice I’d made all year! This was our first time having professional pictures taken and we are both a bit awkward in front of the camera but we did not feel awkward with Jazmin. On our wedding day, Jazmin and her partner/second shooter were punctual, organized, and just plain fun to have around! To quote my husband; “anytime we need a photographer for anything, you know we can only work with them.” Importing Jazmin from San Francisco for our DIY Texas vineyard wedding was a no brainer for us, and we’d book her again in a heart beat!

About wedding photographers

How much does a wedding photographer cost?

Wedding photographers early in their careers can cost as little as $1,500. Super experienced photographers, as seen in magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair, can cost upwards of $30,000. The range is wide, but, in general, you can expect to spend around 10% of your budget on wedding photography. Rates also vary based on wedding length, the services you want, and location. A photographer based in an area with a lower cost of living, for example, will be less than one based in New York or San Francisco.

How much should we tip our wedding photographer?

A good rule of thumb is to tip 10% of their rate, or at least $100. If they’re bringing second photographers or assistants, an additional $50 to $75 per person is an appropriate and nice gesture.

What questions should we ask wedding photographers?

Aside from logistical questions about packages, pricing, and availability, it’s also important to use your conversation to get a sense of their personality. This person will be with you and your loved ones every step of your wedding day, including, if you want, in the dressing room! It’s very important that you and your partner both feel comfortable with them and their working style. Talk about your venue, how you want to feel when you look at your photos, and which photos from their portfolio you like best.
