Ashley Cynthia Photography provided excellent service for our wedding photography needs. Ashley's communication throughout the planning process was fast, caring and thoughtful - she truly wanted to understand our vision and preferences. On the big day, Ashley traveled from Arizona to capture our Colorado wedding. She helped immensely with organizing the timeline and coordinating with other vendors. Most importantly, the quality of Ashley's work is simply stunning. Her photographic style resulted in elegant, unique and professional photos that we will treasure 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.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

Five years ago, I was planning my own wedding and wanting a photographer I was compatible with and who could capture me and my husband without feeling terribly awkward. I found that! When the night was over, I told Albert, "I'm so glad we're married." I could sigh knowing those moments I would soon forget would be captured and documented. At AlesiaKim and Co, that's our values. We are a wedding planning, photography, and videographer team that are intentional about orchestrating and capturing real authentic emotions and smiles so those memories can be preserved for future generations.

Wild Elegance

  • Serves Lake Charles, LA

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.

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!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kiersten for my wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment we met, her professionalism and passion for photography were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted.

Desiree Menotti Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Desiree was easy going and very responsive to all of our questions and needs. Her professional, knowledgeable approach put us at ease, and the quality of her work exceeded our expectations. Desiree helped keep us on schedule and captured everything we wanted and more.

Hi my name is Rabecca Raymond, and I absolutely love taking photos and cementing memories for others and myself. Being able to capture those beautiful moments is something that makes me happy and being able to share that with others is even better. I live in the small town of Franklinton surrounded by my family. I am a mother to a wild little boy named Luke Casey and he surely keeps me on my toes. I also couldn’t do any of this without my husband Matthew Raymond. I started out taking wildlife photography and soon knew that I wanted to do this full time. With the support of my husband and family I took the leap and started Southern Radiance.
