We hired Brittany Taylor Photography months before our wedding and began the conversation with Brittany herself who was so kind and communicative from day 1. She heard out our vision, answered all of our questions, and made us feel so comfortable. From the start we knew she was not available for our wedding day but we had full confidence that whoever the photographer we got assigned with would be the perfect extension of Brittany. We were SO lucky to work with Claire who kicked us off with an amazing engagement shoot. She put in so much thought and effort into scouting a location and shooting with her felt like doing a fun art project with an old friend. We were so happy with our engagement photos, they turned out so beautifully and were delivered professionally and right on time. The week of our wedding there was a wildfire a few miles from the venue and it was somewhat touch and go. Brittany was hugely empathetic to our situation and was so kind during the stress of it all. Luckily the wedding went as planned. Claire did an amazing job of directing our crazy family, was efficient and captured all the group shots we wanted. She truly added so much value to our special day as a person and as a talented photographer. The photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Claire had a great eye for leveraging the scenery of our venue and finding the most magical shots. Major kudos to Claire and Brittany for making us feel beautiful and for capturing the essence of our day. Love how it's packaged nicely in an online gallery as well. THANK YOU X A MILLION!!!

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Carpinteria, CA

I'm based inn sunny Santa Barbara, California world famous for its moderate Mediterranean weather and Spanish architecture throughout the city. Being an all-year wedding destination location I have the fortune to be a part of so many couples' special days. I love capturing joy! I'm passionate about elopements and helping couples maneuver the logistics to make their day super special.

Cherry is AWESOME! She is not only professional, but was so fun to have as the photographer for our wedding. She has a creative vision and eye for photos that only comes naturally. She had so many great ideas for our wedding photos and engagement photos. I am so happy to have had her capture our special day. I would highly recommend her. We are so happy with Cherry's work that we have booked her for our maternity photo session coming up in October.

Amelie Black Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Carpinteria, CA

Thank you for being here! My name is Amelie and I am extremely passionate about capturing intimate love stories. I love collaborating with my couples to create unique, meaningful galleries that reflect the most important moments of their days. I would describe my style as candid, emotional, dreamy, fun, and documentary-style.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the minute that Amelie arrived at the venue, she was professional, helpful, creative, and kind. She is incredibly skilled not only at taking beautiful and artistic photographs, but also in managing the dynamics of the wedding event. My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera but taking a walk with Amelie to get some solo shots was organic and effortless. We just received some preview photos, and both her photo composition and editing captured our wedding perfectly. Without being asked, she took on many more roles than just the photographer: timekeeper, dress bustler, calm creator, and creative director. She somehow seemed to be in several places at once and was always an arm distance away when a photo opportunity arrived. She scouted beautiful places for my husband and I to take solo photos, instructed the officiant on where to best stand so our ceremony photos would look good, and remembered every single special shot that we requested prior to the event. Hiring Amelie was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding, and I can’t recommend her enough. We will certainly be recommending her to all our friends and family.

Augusta Ottillia Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Carpinteria, CA

My passion for photography was built on nostalgia. From a young age, I loved opening of the old holiday popcorn tins full of generations of family photos that my mom kept in the hallway closet. It felt magical to pull out old memories and hear my mom recall the story behind a photo. Now, I love to capture these special memories for my clients to pass down to the next generation. My job is to encourage and direct you so you feel comfortable and confident while taking photos, capturing each unique story in a creative and authentic way. I do this by creating a space for us to truly get to know each other and be ourselves.

If you are reading this review in search of a wedding photographer, you can stop the search now, because Augusta is who you want! Augusta is so talented, so easy to connect with, and takes the time to truly understand what you and your partner are hoping to capture. On our actual wedding day, there were many times we were running behind schedule, and Augusta quickly adapted and still managed to capture more than we ever hoped for, or expected. More than that, I'm not sure how many weddings Augusta has worked, but she makes you feel like the most important and special person, is so attentive, has such a calming yet commanding presence (exactly what you need, but didn't know you needed until the day is actually unfolding), and makes you feel like you've been lifelong friends. She's extremely professional, great with communication, and if I had 15 weddings, I'd want her for all 15 of them.

We have never used a photography company before, so we were not sure what to expect. However, all doubts quickly went away from day one. From the video conference calls to the prompt replies to e-mails we always felt like they were there to help guide us through the process and address any of our questions. The photographers were personable and captured unique moments that we did not even know were happening throughout the wedding. Upon receiving the photos we were able to relive our special day all over again thanks to the numerous photos we received. The candid shots were our favorite. Thanks for making our perfect day that much more perfect.

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Justin at Just McCallum Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with! From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, his professionalism and talent were evident. Justin captured every moment of our wedding day beautifully, with stunning attention to detail and creativity. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and his friendly, approachable demeanor put everyone at ease. The photos turned out even better than we could have imagined, perfectly capturing the emotions and joy of the day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also a joy to work with, I highly recommend Justin and Just McCallum Photography. We are thrilled with our photos and will cherish them forever!"

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 27-year-old wedding photographer living between DC and San Francisco! 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 — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

Sophia was extremely professional in all of our communications leading up to the big day - she was organized, responsive, and helped us feel at ease. On the wedding day, she captured so many beautiful candid moments with her vibrant, creative style. The colors and lighting in both our portraits and reception photos are gorgeous and realistic. We were so excited when we got our sneak peek photos - they perfectly capture the joy and love from our special day. We can't wait to receive the full photo package and relive more memories.

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!

We are a wedding + elopement duo serving the Nashville area + some other special places that make us happy. We can’t wait to meet you! We started capturing weddings through covid when we were stuck at home and needed to find some way to be creative. Savannah went to school for videography and Jon is an OG drummer turned videographer that has really enjoyed getting to create. If we aren’t celebrating you and your love story, you can find us at the beach, probably eating some yummy food, and missing our fluff ball kitty at home. We are so easy going and love to be spontaneous with our plans.

I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Fatima made the entire planning process easy and stress-free, and she brought so many glimmers of wisdom to her support as we were planning. She was such a welcome energy on our wedding day—our guests still talk about how sweet she is! Fatima's photography style is stunning, from digital to film to polaroids.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mysi on several projects, most recently my engagement and wedding photos.

Her talent is unquestionably amazing, but the thing I loved most about her was her ability to emotionally connect. Her personality is calming, open, and loving and that is so important for a photographer capturing some of the biggest moments in our lives! Highly recommend, 10/10, would book again and again and again.

So, so thankful we went with Calea as our wedding photographer. She was the first person we interviewed and the last. As soon as we spoke with her I knew it was going to be a perfect fit. She’s professional, she’s fun, she’s knowledgeable, she’s helpful, and absolutely amazing at what she does. I am incredibly happy with the way our photos turned out and how she captured our day. She showed up to our wedding a half hour earlier than her scheduled time to make sure she was all situated and familiar with the venue and made sure we stayed on track with all the photos we wanted to get throughout the night. She was such a positive part of our day and meshed perfectly with our families and friends. We had so many people at our wedding compliment the photographer and her presence at our wedding. She flew under the radar while capturing crucial moments and interacted with our guests and family when needed. She made it fun! She laughed, she cried, and she truly felt like family while she was there with us. Her passion for her work is clear and she truly gets to know the style and vibe of her clients! Thank you Calea, we will always look back on our photos with such love and joy in our hearts thanks to you!!!
