I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kiera! She has been our go-to photographer for all of life’s special moments—our wedding, maternity, newborn photos, and family portraits. Kiera is incredibly understanding, patient, and accommodating. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she truly goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are happy. I just got married this past weekend and spent over seven hours with Kiera. Not only did she capture breathtaking photos, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly and put me at ease as a bride, which was invaluable! Her calming presence, friendly demeanor, and professionalism made everything feel effortless. One of the standout features of working with Kiera is the convenience of her online album. After each session, we get quick access to our photos, where we can easily view them and select our favorites. This allows us to have full control over the final selections, ensuring that we get the exact photos we want to have edited. I highly recommend Kiera to all my family and friends. Whether you’re in New Mexico or the surrounding areas, Kiera is the photographer you want. She even travels out of state! We are so grateful to have her and will continue trusting her with all our photography needs.

Taylor Farinelli is, hands down, one of the most creative, artistic, compassionate photographers that we've ever had the pleasure of working with. She is patient, kind, understanding, fun & such a joy to be around. Her photos look like moments of time frozen & captured to treasure for decades to come. She is also great at catching the natural sensation of a moment rather than just some good poses. Her prices are fair for the time & quality she puts into your session & into the editing of your photos. She's amazing!!

Kaitlyn Carter Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, Kaitlyn was responsive, easy-going, but also very professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, her calm and friendly presence was so comforting, and she captured every moment beautifully - from the small, intimate details as we were getting ready to the larger, posed family shots. The quality of Kaitlyn's work is simply stunning, with a documentary-style approach and gorgeous natural lighting that perfectly encapsulated the passion and love of our special day. We are thrilled with the photos from our engagement session and wedding day and couldn't recommend Kaitlyn Carter Photography more highly.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future. We highly recommend planning your special day around when Eugene is available to document it—you won’t regret it!

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day. Being in Business for 6years with over 120 Wedding shot across the country.

Our wedding photographs on the wall serve as daily reminders of our story and how we started out, of the happiness we felt on that day. KP is super professional, punctual, respectable and talented. Not to mention that he captured every special moment that will forever live on in the photos he took of our wedding day. He is a PLEASURE to work with, and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants the most beautiful memories of their wedding.

I’m Caitlin Elizabeth (she/her), and as a current bride-to-be myself, I know planning a wedding is no small thing. After the months, or even years of work, you deserve to have stunning wedding photos to remember it all! I make every part of your Santa Fe wedding photography as easy as possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
It is our absolute pleasure to write a (glowing!) review for Caitlin Elizabeth Photography and for Caitlin herself! We were married last October on a fairytale day in Santa Fe (NM), and we are so pleased to know that we will be able to remember and share that perfect day because of the pictures Caitlin and her team captured for us. From start to finish on the wedding day, Caitlin had a wonderful eye and the ability to capture both big and small moments, integrated into beautiful backdrops with a bright and cheery style. We hardly knew she was there as she unobtrusively recorded pre-wedding preparations, early looks before the ceremony, the ceremony itself, a host of beautiful family portraits, and all the post-ceremony fun. She even captured a priceless picture of the bride in mid-flip during our first dance! Throughout, she was patient, accommodating, and provided really excellent direction to keep distracted and emotional people looking their best. She was good with kids, adults, seniors, and even folks with special needs/requests. We loved it. Working with Caitlin before the wedding was also really seamless for us. We happened to have a very good wedding planner, who worked very well with Caitlin to make sure everything timed out just the way we wanted. That said, it was clear that Caitin’s highly organized approach to wedding photography and experience could be used as a template for folks working through the wedding planning on their own. We have learned that finding someone like Caitlin with positive energy and a clear passion for weddings really helped us feel special, reminded us to have fun through this process, and made the wedding so much more special. It was apparent that Caitlin was as excited about our event as we were…she was so eager to share some of her favorite pictures that we had a few key shots waiting in our inbox the next day! The value that Caitlin provided for her services was really exceptional, in our opinion. Not only did she cover the wedding itself wonderfully, but the pre-wedding photoshoot was tailored to us beautifully and captured some really touching moments that we continue to enjoy and share with friends and family. We love the fact that we have had ready access to all of our extremely high resolution, high quality, professionally “processed” photos, and the inclusion of a printed “highlight” album has left us with a wonderful trove of memories. In fact, we have struggled with how to select “just” 75-90 favorites (solely for the highlight album) as there are so many good ones to choose from out of all she provided to us. We can’t recommend Caitlin highly enough, and we couldn’t have wanted anything more from her. We would hire her again in an instant.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Working with Prest1ge Photography was a pleasure. He has great talent, professionalism, and dedication to his craft. It was worth every penny. As they say, pictures are forever and Prest1ge Photography captured so many candid moments that I’ll cherish forever. Caleb was so flexible with his time and listened to me with what shots I wanted to have. If I had questions or concerns, he was quick to reply. He was very personable to my guests at my wedding as many commented on how friendly he was.

Jason Snorlax Photography

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

We do Photo+Video Teams primarily - see more team samples on our "Videographers" page on Zola! I love "storytelling" in shooting and creative editing - creating not just a photo/video record, but adding sparkle, brightness and engaging polish to edits, design elements, fx and dialog/music mixing to build a more grand and exciting "mood" and story. It's great being part of "The Best Day Ever!" for most couples, along with learning and exploring new events, supporting my client's excitement and creativity and energy ;)

Jeff and Jon did an incredible job with our wedding video! We had a destination wedding in Santa Fe and they did such a great job at capturing the day on video in a way that makes us feel like we're there again. Jon was there with us for the event and was pleasant to be around and very professional. He worked with our photographer on documenting our day. They had a very quick turnaround time of 2 weeks for editing and completing our videos. The music was based on our personalized selection. We had a very small ceremony so wanted to be able to share with those who couldn't make it and they did the best job we could imagine. The showcased the venues and details of the day as well as the bride and groom. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wedding videographer!!!

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

HEY! My name is Jade! I am a follower of Jesus Christ and He gave me this passion for photography. I’ve grown up and lived in New Mexico my whole life. I am stoked to be surrounded by the desert, the Rio Grande river, and various mountain ranges. I literally get to drive through and roam around these beautiful God-given landscapes to inspire the work I create. I believe that it is important that YOU choose to work with me because of who I am. What makes me different from the handful of other photographers you are considering? I care. From the moment you contact me, I am praying for you. What I love about being a photographer is

Long story short- Jade cares about YOU and this will be completely evident in her work. You won’t regret hiring her to capture one of the sweetest moments of your life. Your photos will last as long as your marriage-forever! Hire a professional to ensure every sweet moment is remembered for years to come. HIRE JADE. Because Jade cares about each of her couples you will see her professionalism, support, and amazing work on the day of your wedding. She was key to keeping our wedding on schedule, capturing our sweet candid moments, handling a huge crowd and crazy schedule (that never goes as planned), AND getting us our flawless prints very quickly after. This is someone who works hard and is in the business to use her skills for others. I truly felt she went above what we asked because she knows how precious these wedding photos are. We initially chose Jade because we loved her work. Her photos aren’t over edited and she has a range of creative shots. She provides photos of everything, from sweet bride and groom shots that capture the couples personalities to the shots of the little details that make your day special. I cannot recommend Jade enough! She was FANTASTIC (and her husband too!! Yes- hire both! the dream team)

So here's the tea... I'm a wise-cracking, extroverted Capricorn who excels at corralling your rowdy family for photos and charming Aunt Carol, the self-deemed professional iPad photographer. Ever since I was little, huddled on the couch with my five siblings rewatching The Lion King, I knew that I wanted to be a storyteller. Growing up in a creative household, I studied a wide range of arts before settling on filmmaking. I envisioned in my head that I would be the next Spielberg, but after shooting my first wedding in 2013 all my plans changed.

Maya was my wedding photographer at my wedding in Flagstaff, AZ at Aldea Wedding in the Woods and she was PHENOMENAL. Her energy is out of this world & you cannot help but smile and laugh around her. She quickly feels like family. Not only does she have the most insanely wonderful personality that brightens the room but her photos she took are STUNNING! She really has such an eye for capturing the perfect moments and the quality and colors are just perfect. Myself, my now husband, and friends and family were just in awe when I showed them. I just got married two days ago and the day after my wedding she sent me sneak peek photos and there were SO many - I couldn’t believe how fast the turnaround was. And there’s more photos to come! Everything was just stunning I can’t rave about her enough. You need to hire Maya!!!! Also my friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how fun she was. We love you Maya you are amazing!!!
