The one thing that caught my eye was her editing skills and the pictures she was able to capture. She will not only be a photographer for our wedding but any other special events that we will have in our new marriage. She is absolutely amazing and I was so happy to have her on our special day.

Hello! My name is Aanna and I can't wait to meet you. When I was seven years old, my parents gifted me with a tape recorder. It became my aim to document life in my home and beyond—an ongoing narration. Fast forward a few years and I brought my journalism to a new level when I spent my hard earned money on a camera. The rest is history—and a longer story for a future coffee date :) For as long as I can remember, I have been observing and responding to the stories and visuals around me; and it has only become more exciting with every person I meet and event I photograph!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Aanna was an absolute dream for our wedding! She is truly a one woman show and spent 8 hours with us and never missed a shot. She was incredibly helpful in making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture us beautifully in both candid and curated shots. There was excellent communication that helped our day run smoothly and stress free. We have received some teaser photographs back and are absolutely stunned with her artistic ability! 10/10 would recommend her to any couple out there for their photographer, we could not be happier!!!!!

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots.

I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my partner, two dogs, and four cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I turn 9 this year 🥳!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have used many photographers in the past but none came close to the level of expertise that Leah possesses. Over the years, I've done business headshots with her, family photos, and most recently my wedding. Since I have used Leah's services for other things before, I knew what to expect as far as photo-quality goes; the real testimonial comes from how she handled the wedding. Shooting a wedding in another country with a chaotic family is no easy task, even I wouldn't wish it upon myself, but Leah truly knocked it out of the park: she checked in before the event day to go over the schedule, showed up early, got all of the extra shots that I requested, directed people, and just really took charge of the experience. Having her as my wedding photographer was literally one of the only non-stressful decisions I made for that event lol. The photos turned out beautifully, I really can't imagine having anyone else capture one of the most important events of my life. I recommend her wholeheartedly!!

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.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From our initial meeting, Danielle took the time to really get to know us and understand our vision for the day. She arrived early and jumped into action, ensuring she didn’t miss a single moment. She kept us on track all day, and liaised seamlessly with the venue staff. It really felt like we had friends helping us through the day, having our backs and making sure our vision was realized. The photos are absolutely stunning and truly capture the joy of our celebration. We’re so grateful for Danielle’s professionalism and talent! Book her!

When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and unsolved crime documentaries.

I’m absolutely in love with Justina’s work! I’m usually very picky about photos of myself but every single photo Justina took for our engagement shoot and wedding turned out beautifully and genuinely captured the essence of our relationship. I’m so incredibly grateful we had the opportunity to work with her as her photos are stunning! In addition to being incredibly talented, she is also an absolute sweetheart to work with. My husband and I felt like we were just hanging out with a friend during our shoot which ultimately allowed for such natural photos. She truly went above and beyond during the wedding and captured the most precious moments. We were blown away by the quality and quantity of our preview wedding photos just one week after the wedding. We have already referred her to many of our friends and will continue using her for any photography needs in the future! Thank you so much, Justina!!

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

Abby swooped in and saved the day after we had to relocate our wedding across the country back to my hometown due to COVID. Professional, friendly, and everything else you could want in a wedding photographer.

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

My husband and I flew Golden Hour Images to Utah for our wedding and it was worth every single penny!! Golden Hour Images was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, their communication was super consistent and they listened to everything we wanted. The photographer, Jenna, did an amazing job and just her sneak peaks had my husband, me and my family absolutely balling. She did the best job at capturing all our sensitive moments and made us feel and look absolutely beautiful throughout the day. Jenna listened to exactly what we wanted and exceeded all of our expectations - our wedding photos are stunning and we will cherish them forever. We cannot recommend Golden Hour Images enough!

Jessica was absolutely amazing and we are incredibly pleased with our decision to use her as our engagement and wedding photographer! She was a great communicator who went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly. Jessica being so organized and on top of things made our wedding experience much less stressful than it otherwise would have been. Neither my husband or I are super comfortable in front of a camera, but Jessica’s directions and attitude put us at ease and made for a very enjoyable experience. Our wedding day went just according to plan, and so so much of that credit goes to Jessica! Taking everything we had spoken about into consideration, she put a wedding day timeline together for us; that was a huge stress relief! Jessica was amazing leading up to the wedding and I couldn’t of been any more pleased. I had so much confidence in Jessica leading up to the wedding day, and she did not disappoint! She was organized, had a plan, and followed it just as we had discussed. When hiccups arose, she was a calming presence who quickly adapted and made the absolute best out of the situation. Now, on to the photos! Jessica is a remarkably talented photographer who captured our wedding day better than we could have imagined. The photos all turned out so good and she was able to capture so many moments that we, as the bride and groom, were not able to witness in the moment. Our couples portraits, wedding party photos, and family photos were stunning. We are also so incredibly grateful for Jessica taking the time to photograph our guests during the reception. She was able to capture every moment with such authenticity; we love to look back at the photos and relive the day. I would whole-heartedly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!!

Salvatore was wonderful! He was very kind and professional. Before the wedding, he took the time to speak with us about our vision for the day and the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he spent pretty much the entire day with us, and was even able to split his time between our ceremony and our reception. We got his photos right on time, and they were truly lovely, with a nice mix of posed and candid photographs, and beautiful lighting and focus throughout. Salvatore did everything we could have expected him to and more, and we are very glad that we went with Milieu for our wedding!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time!

Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues.

The photos they captured are absolutely beautiful - they have such an artistic eye and really highlighted the love and joy of our special day. We had never had professional photos taken before, but Mae made the entire experience comfortable and affordable. We would highly recommend Mae Krell Photo to any couple looking for gorgeous, personalized wedding photography.

I’m Tessa Brediger! I’m twenty-nine, living in Dayton, Ohio at the moment (but always moving thanks to the Air Force), married to my best friend Jake, a mom to the sweetest little boy named Will, and I’m a lover of: a good and smoky single malt Highland scotch, beautiful light, inclusivity, and punk rock (I never moved past my emo phase in high school). I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like. I don’t believe there’s a limit to the amount of pasta you can consume. I quote New Girl and The Good Place way too much. I have a lot of houseplants and always get sucked into buying more because I have no impulse control. I absolutely love, love.

Tessa did our wedding last July and we absolutely love the way she captured all the special moments of our big day! She was so easy to work with and went out of her way to make sure that the photos truly represent us and our relationship. As a bride, I know I can speak for other brides and say that we spend months and months buying decor, planning, Pinterest surfing and envisioning what our wedding day will look like. I knew the exact look and feel I wanted for our wedding and it was so important to me that the right “feel” would translate in the photographs (because after all, in the end photos are the best form of tangible memories we have).. and I feel Tessa really was able to do this for us! The way she captured the details were really beautiful. Her style is very natural and unposed, which allowed true and intimate moments of the day show through. Her passion for not only photography but for seeing others in love, showed through as she even teared up during our first look! She’s a very thoughtful and artistic photographer. She was also really quick to get our photos back to us! Thank you, Tessa, for being so wonderful! (Originally posted on The Knot)

I started photography as a second shooter with another local photographer and I fell in love with it. I love every aspect of my job, from meeting new people to editing photos. 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!

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.

We loved working with Ross for our engagement and wedding photos. He is so organized and professional. He was always clear with his communication and helped keep everything on track the day of the wedding. We found him because his style was more candid and "moody", and we could not be more excited about the result!

A true artist at heart, Danielle has spent over twenty-five years behind a camera. For over a decade she has specialized in recording couples and families in some of their most joyous moments. Utilizing both digital and film, she documents not only the major moments, but the minor moments, too, that sometimes go amiss: the grandmother gazing fondly at the new generation. The proud tearful eyes of a parent watching as their child embarks on an exciting new chapter. Big or small, with her trained eye Danielle captures every brushstroke to fully realize the memory of your special day.

You will not regret having Danielle capture your special day. She has photographed at least 2 weddings in my family - and we always trust Danielle and her photographic genius capture our most important moments.

I've been passionate about all art forms for as long as I can remember! I got into photography as a little middle schooler when I received a digital camera as a gift one year, and took pictures of random objects and landscapes, submitting them into local art shows and fairs. I put my passion on the backburner when I started focusing on my schooling and career. My husband gifted me a fancy camera with lenses for Christmas a few years back and it sparked my love once again! I have an artistic eye if I do say so myself, and love capturing those precious life moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the get go, Rachel was very easy-going and fun to work with. Our wedding day was very smooth and she was in all the places she needed to be to capture the perfect moments! I could not recommend her enough!

Storyteller Collective Photo Co., proudly located in Ames and serving the vibrant community of Des Moines, Iowa, and beyond. I began this company many moons ago with a solid purpose - to make people feel something and to evoke genuine emotions through my photography. My passion lies in documenting individuals as they live their best lives, immersed in the activities and passions that fuel their souls. As a non-traditional photographer, I thrive on capturing authentic memories rather than elaborate setups. It's about freezing moments in time that speak volumes and resonate deeply with those who experience them.

I have worked with Storyteller Collective as a second photographer (wedding), and she is so relaxed and also efficient. She works with a sense of urgency but doesn't rush her clients. She knows her stuff when it comes to weddings and knows exactly how to arrange the day so that it serves her client. She's also very, very good at adapting when things change (like when it rains on an outdoor ceremony) and reassuring her clients that we've still got it covered. She is a really good person who is fun to work with. She produces high quality work on the regular and her work is so beautiful!

She really captured the best parts of the entire day.

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!!
