Hi! I'm Selena Favela, owner and photographer of Favela Photos. I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Wichita, Kansas. My service areas include Kansas and wherever you are! I am dedicated to documenting and telling your story the way it deserves to be told.

Awarded Best of Zola
Selena was one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding. When we were getting our engagement pictures done with her in April of 2023 we knew then and there that we wanted her to photograph our wedding for us, too. We didn't have the funds at the time to put down our deposit, but she was more than happy to block the day for us anyway and told us we could send her the deposit whenever we were ready to. Needless to say, the check was sent as soon as we could. We also got family pictures done with my husband's family and they turned out better than we could have ever wanted. Having Selena around was like having a friend around - amplified by our connections to people we knew in high school. I had emailed Selena a couple months before the wedding to ask if it would be possible to drive out to see my husband's great grandma before the ceremony and get a couple pictures with her since she would be unable to make it and she was more than happy to go with us, even if it meant we were rushing back to the venue because of crazy Wichita traffic. The photos we received with her are ones that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. As we got our pictures back we were sharing them with family and they didn't understand how quickly she was able to take pictures and capture moments that we didn't see ourselves. Selena is amazing at what she does, and the proof is in her work. She is kind, hard-working, understanding, and was a calming presence for us during the craziness that was our wedding day. If you need someone that is willing to go with the flow, be a fly on the wall, or get the picture perfect portraits, Selena is your girl! We have been recommending her to all of our friends and family, of which many have already begun to get pictures done with her because they have seen her quality of work. We can't thank her enough for everything she has done!

  • Serves Ames, OK

I'm a wedding and engagement photographer who has collaborated with couples from all over the world. I offer a relaxed and conversation-based style of wedding photography because I believe that the best images are the result of communication.

I can't explain how happy we were with Lizzie... the photos she took were absolutely beautiful. I was really impressed that she listened to exactly what we wanted - we definitely didn't want these fake posed photos you often see from weddings and she was perfect at fulfilling that and producing the most natural collection of memories. She really hung back in the background so you never felt you have a camera in your face all day and yet the final results were breathtaking. I haven't had the time to print them yet but I can't wait to have a collage up in the house. We were super impressed by the speed of receiving them all after the day too - within 3-4 weeks max we had already gotten the collection and I must admit I cried when receiving them since they are so beautiful! Sometimes I have some memory issues due to my health and having our wedding day documented so thoroughly and beautifully I can look back anytime and be reminded of how perfect that day was so I am so grateful. Honestly I would recommend Lizzie to anyone. If you are already looking into her site and wondering out of all of the people out there, whether she would be the right photographer for you... just go for it and it will be the best decision you make, I assure you.

Leah made the whole process stress-free with her clear communication and warm personality. On the big day, Leah walked into a whirlwind of activity, but she calmly focused and started capturing the magic. She helped me stay relaxed and assured me everything would be perfect – I'll never forget that. Leah's photos are simply breathtaking. She's a true artist who captured every detail just as I imagined. She made sure we had time for portraits, but also caught those spontaneous, joyful moments that made our day so special. We are beyond thrilled with the photos Leah delivered. The cherry on top was seeing how excited Leah was at the wedding – she even quickly edited a photo on the spot! It showed she was genuinely invested in our happiness. Can't wait to work with Leah again for our future big life-moments!

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

My wife and I were so thankful that we chose Danielle as our wedding photographer. She is highly skilled, organized, and very easy to work with. She was an invaluable resource for us throughout the wedding process. In the months leading up to our wedding, she was like a wedding planner to us, guiding us through our itinerary, answering our questions, and asking important questions to help make our big day flow as smoothly as possible. On our wedding day itself, she put us both at ease and was very flexible when we decided to make a few last-minute switches. Most importantly, she helped capture so many amazing memories with her beautiful photos. We would highly recommend Danielle and Moon Rising Photography.

There truly is nothing better than getting a message from my clients about how happy they are with their images and how much it means to them. I have traveled to Colorado, California, New York, Florida, Alabama-- All over for weddings! I LOVE to travel for my work. So if you like my work, but realize I'm not close by, still reach out and let's talk!

I am over the moon to share how amazing Samantha was as the photographer for my wedding! From the moment she arrived on the day of my wedding, she brought such positive energy and creativity. Samantha has an incredible talent for capturing the essence of each moment. She made everyone feel so comfortable, which resulted in the most natural and beautiful photos. Her friendly and supportive presence made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you want a photographer who will make your special day unforgettable, Samantha is the one to call! Thank you, Samantha, for your phenomenal work and for capturing memories we'll cherish forever!

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your story in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

If you’re looking to hire a wedding photographer who can capture your big day in a “not so traditional” way, then you’re in the right place. We are Alternative Portraiture & Documentary Wedding Photographers based in sunny (and sometimes rainy) South Florida, and we like to think of ourselves as friendly, honest, and quirky (the good kind, we promise). We are creative beings at heart and love to tell stories unconventionally.

Erika is one of the most talented photographers I ever met. As wedding planner and designer I get to work with many great photographers but she is definitely one of my top to refer to. She will make you feel so comfortable, relaxed and you will have fun with this fun energetic lady who will capture every single moment of pure happiness. She is sweet, easy to communicate with and she gets you! Working with her is absolute pleasure every time!

Let's craft beautiful, genuine memories you'll cherish for a lifetime.

We hired Adeline and Valerie to photograph our wedding and if you haven’t yet — hire them!! Not only are they incredible photographers, they are also amazing humans and were so fun to work with. They helped make our wedding the most magical day and we could not be more happy with how the photos came out. From our first time sitting down talking with them we knew we had found the perfect people. They were so friendly, helpful, and flexible throughout the process. On the wedding day, they helped with so many thing aside from taking the photos and just made it so my partner and I could fully enjoy the day. They made taking photos fun and light. All of our family members have been raving about how much they loved both of them. And the photos are incredible. We didn’t even recognize our front street for a second it looked so pretty! During the wedding they took photos with a Polaroid as well and so we had some immediate memories to look at that night. Then they sent us a sneak peak the next day and the rest of the photos in less than a month. We’ll forever have these memories thanks to both of them. We are so grateful and highly recommend anyone looking to capture a special day or event to choose them!

Moira was the best photographer we could have hoped for! Not only was she flexible in the ever changing craziness of the day, but she made it so fun! We laughed pretty much the whole day through and it literally felt like we were working with a friend. On top of all that, the photos that we’ve received so far are absolutely amazing! She really captured the best parts of the entire day.

Hi! My name is Sara. The last couple years of my photography career has allowed me to travel to new places which I have always wanted to do.

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was sooo easy to work with. Her visions aligned with mine, she was efficient and so sweet. I truly trusted her with everything in me and she did not disappoint! She traveled across the country for us and was a 10/10 human being and professional photographer. You need her!!

Hi, I'm Alexx! I grew up in San Diego and went to school in Malibu to study media production & math (I know, weird combo). Since then, I've lived in both Point Loma in SD and in West LA, so I'm always popping around all of SoCal! I absolutely adore weddings for the love, celebration, joy, and romance, so I want to make sure those are your main feelings throughout the day! What that means is I will always remain a calm presence in the chaos to help keep you grounded, but also blend into the background to give you space to just experience your day!

I don't even know where to begin. Alexx was hands down the best photographer we could have asked for. From the start she was supper communicative and within a day of inquiry, we had set up a time to chat and get acquainted. She is incredibly professional, but still super personable! We had so much fun with her at our engagement shoot, and the photos were INCREDIBLE. Her style is so organic and she makes you feel very comfortable from the start. She gave us so many tips leading up to the wedding about what to have ready for her and at what time, while still being super flexible with us if we needed to adapt. Day of with her was a breeze, too! She lead us through all of our photos and we wrapped up family photos quickly enough thanks to her that we were able to spend more time with our guests/family before the reception which was amazing! She had our previews to us within a few days and we are OBSESSED with every photo!! We cannot wait to see the full gallery :) Thank you so much for everything, Alexx!!!
