I am a Wife, Mother and Nana. I have always loved working with people, I have worked in retail, banking, hotels & restaurants. Then I decided to turn my favorite hobby into a business. So in 2005 L.A.'s Photography was born. I pride myself on treating my clients the way I would want to be treated. (Something I learned from my Papa) That means not only giving them a fair price & best photos I can deliver, but also helping them in anyway I can before and after their session or event. “What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”-Karl LagerfeldA

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

ignited Photography is a husband and wife photography team specializing in on location natural and studio lighting. With over 17 years photographing weddings together, we are passionate about love, life, weddings (and each other)!

I am so grateful we booked ignited Photography for our wedding! Heather and Kevin played an absolutely massive role in making our day perfect. Heather took the time prior to our initial consultation phone call to look into sunset time for our wedding day and helped me build our wedding day timeline from there. They were readily available by text, call, and email leading up to the wedding. In fact, they were our primary source for finding other vendors! Heather and Kevin not only did an amazing job photographing our day, but they acted almost as wedding day coordinators as well. They helped smooth any last minute kinks that came up and guided us through certain aspects of the day we had not even thought to prepare for (such as how to hold the cake cutting knife). Early in the reception, my husband accidentally stepped on my bustle and ripped out the button. Heather immediately pulled me to the side, pulled a sewing kit out of her bag, and fixed my bustle right up. There were so many other small details Heather and Kevin attended to the day of, that it would be impossible to list them all. ignited Photography is simply THE BEST and you should ABSOLUTELY BOOK THEM!!!!!!

Krystal was my coordinator, and she was incredible!! She was super friendly and bubbly, but also extremely professional. Working with her and her team was such a smooth process; they were quick communicators, I always got a response back quickly, and I never felt uncertain or worried with them. From the engagement session to the wedding itself to the delivery of the final product, I was extremely happy.

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible Mary is. From the moment we booked her, we knew we had made the right choice. Mary meticulously crafted mood boards, timelines and provided invaluable advice from the engagement shoot to the wedding. She has a warm and vibrant spirit that makes you feel comfortable and excited. We found many times throughout the wedding day we felt most calm with Mary while taking pictures. You won’t find another photographer like her, willing to go the extra mile to deliver a vision. We cannot thank Mary enough for our beautiful photos. They are mementos of a perfect day we will cherish forever.

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.

I'm quirky, colorful, I swear a bit too much, I love a good whiskey, and I love really hard. I'm not a mushy person who will say they "love love" but I love a good love story. I'm here to help keep the family in check during your family pictures and I'll keep you dancing on the dance floor all night long.

Becca was easy to communicate with, especially since we were in different states! She was flexible with our timeline and offered a lot of recommendations in regards to clothing and makeup. During the photoshoot, she had great insight on where would be a great backdrop and wasn’t afraid to let me know when my smile looked fake! We are so in love with our photos and the ease of working with Becca…I would recommend her for absolutely anything you need photographed!

When you invest in my wedding photography, you're investing not only in an experienced photographer with a great eye, but in a one of a kind creative direction and compositional instincts that takes years to hone. My work is focussed on creating timeless yet modern images, with a strong editorial slant while viewing everything through a romantic lens. I am focussed on gorgeous lighting, poses that are natural and flattering and the luxury that embodies your magical day.

Awarded Best of Zola
8 years ago I became an Astrid Cordier Bride and it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life! Looking back at my wedding day, the most valuable thing to me by far is the unbelievable photos! It is my most beloved memories of the day I married my soulmate and best friend, and also the day my mother was still alive- walking me down the aisle! I cherish these everlasting memories captured perfectly on the photos that my children now admire, and that their children will one day look at and talk about. Our photos will pass from generation to generation and I am proud of my photos. Astrid Cordier captured each moment perfectly! She made us feel confident & beautiful in front of the camera and she could even get my husband (who does not like photos in general) to smile and enjoy taking each photo! I will book her services for as long as I live. Soon when my 10 year anniversary comes up, she will surely be the first person I contact to take the photos at our Wedding vow renewal ceremony. Highly recommended!!! I am proud to call myself an Astrid Cordier Bride!

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

From the very first moment I met Kiersten, I knew she was the perfect choice to document our wedding. Her warm and engaging personality made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of our special day. The way she captures the essence of a moment is nothing short of magical. Her romantic style effortlessly highlights the love and joy shared between us and our guests. Each photograph tells a beautiful story, filled with emotion and grace. We were especially impressed by her ability to capture candid moments, turning fleeting seconds into cherished memories that we will treasure forever. Her attention to detail and genuine passion for their craft are evident in every shot. Whether it was a quiet, intimate exchange or a lively dance floor scene, she managed to capture every moment. In addition to how talented she is, she brought a sense of calm and joy to the day. Her friendly demeanor and approach made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and compassionate photographer to be a part of our celebration. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only deliver stunning, romantic images but also add a touch of warmth and personal connection to your wedding day, we wholeheartedly recommend Kiersten. She is truly one of the sweetest souls.

I am a full time photographer, momma of two boys, and wife to my hubby out here documenting love stories just like yours! I have been a photographer for over 25 years, professionally capturing weddings for over 7 years.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Nina shoot our wedding on May 20, 2023. She is super professional and organized. She is very good with going with the flow but also following the plan. She’s also extremely good at getting candid photos and tricking anybody into being less awkward with the camera on them. Another huge plus is that while her return time might be longer, you get all of the photos from your day rather than a select amount which was a huge thing for us. We love Nina and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is looking for an amazing photographer.
