Raw By Laura

  • Offer

Hi, I'm Laura! I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) wedding photographer who found a new home in Arizona after moving from New Jersey in early 2022. The transition was bittersweet, but Arizona has given me a fresh perspective and a beautiful new backdrop for my photography. One thing I refused to leave behind? My deep love for capturing love stories. As a nontraditional wedding photographer, I'm here for all the emotions—the happy tears, the uncontrollable laughter, the stolen glances, and the wild dance floor moments. My style is moody, warm, and candid, creating images that let you relive your wedding day exactly as it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
I discovered Laura's work on my Instagram and immediately fell in love with it. Her style was warm and soothing, and I was excited to collaborate with her. The booking process was seamless; she was highly professional and fully understood my vision. I felt fortunate because she had previously shot at our location, Lost Dutchman State Park, and I could use some of her past work for reference. On the day of our wedding, Laura arrived on time and remained professional throughout. That same night, we received a sneak peek of some of my favorite photos. Our wedding was a surprise elopement, and everyone absolutely loved the pictures. We received the final edits promptly and were showered with compliments. Laura played a big part in making my day special, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Nelson Cinematic

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Mesa, AZ

Whether you are throwing a massive get together with all of your friends and family, or putting together a smaller, more intimate wedding day, no day will come close in comparison. I have always loved capturing weddings in a documentary fashion. I don't do super posed photos but instead I like to capture moments as they happen. I don't lay out intricate patterns with bobbins, ribbon and invitations, but instead photograph the small details in their true and simplistic form.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first interaction, the team at Nelson Cinematic demonstrated an articulate, consistent, and personable communication style that put us at ease. Their work is truly beautiful, reflective of our relationship, and filled with passion. They openly communicated with us to understand our vision and were amazing to work with, helping us create the perfect wedding video and photos. Nelson Cinematic even drove to our location and collaborated seamlessly with our videographer, capturing all the special moments we'll cherish forever. We loved working with Elizabeth for our engagement photos and look forward to continuing to use her services for our family photos in the future.

Alyssa Campbell Photography 

5.0

Mesa, AZ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,450

It’s not enough to simply take beautiful photos of people in epic scenery and bring forth their personalities. Nearly every photographer can do that these days. What I think matters most is being an mirror, a witness to people’s small and big moments in their lives and capturing those for them. I want to capture moments and photos that mean something to my clients throughout their lives- the photos they hang on their walls to bring them joy when they are going through a tough time and the photos that bring them comfort at the funerals of their loved ones.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alyssa is, in short, incredible. She has years of experience and honing her craft, and it really shows in her work. Not only are her photos gorgeous, but they are true to life and really capture the moment (nothing like the fake, overly posed photos you see all over social media). On top of her talent, Alyssa is also incredibly professional and personable. She was even able to get my introverted husband comfortable with being photographed! If you are looking for a photographer that can give you fad-free, timelessly beautiful photos that truly reflect you and the moment, I would HIGHLY recommend Alyssa!

Briquelle Kayanne Photography

  • Starts at $3,500

When I’m not with my golden retriever, Rigley, (which is always, since I’m a work-from-home dog mom) adventuring to a new Arizona destination, finding my next favorite taco shop, or trying a new workout, you’ll probably find me in some pretty desert location third-wheeling with super-in-love couples and loving every second of capturing it!

I had a destination wedding so my go to on finding vendors was instagram. As soon as I stumbled on Briquelle’s page I just knew I wanted her take our photos! Her work is so beautiful and matched my aesthetic so well. We had never done any kind of professional photos together and she was great at telling us what to do, to get the best shots and not look awkward. She did our engagement and wedding photos and I’m so in love with all them! She also just started offering videography in her packages as well and we were so lucky to get in on it! It was so beautifully done and captured our day perfectly. Briquelle and her team are hands down the best!

Dana Maruna Photo

Mesa, AZ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500

I'm based out of North Dakota & Arizona but will travel anywhere that your love takes me. I've loved taking photos and anything that involved any form or art ever since I was a little girl. I have an amazing husband of almost 5 years and 3 big wonderful pups. I love to travel, hike, spending days at my local coffee shops and nights at breweries in town.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Dana Maruna and her second shooter, Brie, capture our wedding in Minot, ND, in August 2023. From the moment we first connected with Dana, her exceptional communication skills shone through. She was responsive, attentive, and took the time to understand our vision and preferences, making the planning process a breeze. Dana's professionalism and organization put us at ease, and we knew we were in capable hands. Brie, the second shooter, was equally amazing. Their collaborative work ensured no moment was missed, adding depth and variety to our photos. It was evident that both Dana and Brie were dedicated to providing the best possible service, working seamlessly together. What set Dana apart was her offering of film photography, which added a unique and timeless quality to our wedding photos. We can't wait to see the results, and even though we don't have our full gallery back, we have so much trust that it's going to be wonderful. Dana is not only skilled but also passionate about preserving memories in an artistic and meaningful way. Despite living in NYC, we were lucky to have found Dana for our Minot wedding, and her talent made the distance a non-issue. Additionally, Dana and Brie are the creators of Roam Collective, an educational platform for wedding photographers. They conduct workshops all over the country, showcasing their commitment to advancing the art of wedding photography and giving back to the community. But it's not just about professionalism—Dana has become more than our wedding photographer; she's now a dear friend. This personal connection added an extra layer of warmth and comfort to the entire photography experience. It's truly special to not only have had Dana and Brie document our wedding but also to continue building a lasting friendship with Dana. Their genuine care and personal touch make them stand out as more than just professionals but as people who genuinely care about their clients and their stories. In sum, we couldn't be happier with our choice of Dana Maruna as our wedding photographer. Her exceptional communication, talent, dedication to her craft, and educational initiatives through Roam Collective make her and Brie remarkable individuals in the wedding photography industry. They have not only captured our special day beautifully but have also become cherished friends in the process. We highly recommend Dana and Brie to anyone seeking not only photographers but also dedicated professionals and friends. Thank you, Dana and Brie, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable, and we have complete trust that our full gallery will be just as wonderful as the journey to it.

Hi, I'm Ricky, owner and lead photographer. Wedding planning doesn't need to be stressful. And you don't have to do it alone. I GOT YOU! You want to enjoy your big day, so I make sure you have time for just the two of you alone and I try to get you back to your cocktail hour as soon as possible so you can enjoy your friends' company. More importantly, I promise through my mix of direction and “fly on the wall” style of photography, you will feel relaxed and excited in front of my lens. All I ask of my couples is to be open-minded, open-hearted, respectful, and unapologetically YOU!! Bottom line, be exactly who you are and I will do the rest.

From the moment we booked Good Eye Photography, Ricky and his team were a dream to work with. Their communication was efficient, personable, and understanding throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was impeccable, with a level of detail that was truly unmatched. On the day of our wedding, Ricky made sure we stayed on our photo timeline even with some last-minute location changes, and he also helped everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera by giving great direction. We are over the moon with the final photos, which capture all the special moments of our day in a way that feels timeless and elegant. We cannot recommend Good Eye Photography highly enough to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated photography team to bring their wedding vision to life.

In 2021 I quit my day job to pursue my long time love of wedding photography full time... and it's extremely safe to say I have no regrets!

My community, the people I love, and the little things that bond us together mean everything to me. Let me help you celebrate you and yours!

Andrea was one of the photographers recommended by our venue (Venue at the Grove) and we couldn’t be happier that we went with her. We knew we were in good hands at our engagement shoot, where she made us feel comfortable and was so fun to work with. I was so happy to see her on my wedding day because it felt like having another friend there with us on our day! Our photos (engagement and wedding) turned out beautiful and are the perfect way to look back on and remember our wedding.

But hey, don't let my current location or specialties prevent you from reaching out, I am always eager to travel and experience new places and people.

Morgan is a dream to work with! I have been a hairstylist at quite a few weddings and elopements but I honestly get so relieved knowing I get to work with her because she is a radiant and a fun person to be around-- and I believe that kind of energy is so important for a wedding. She is also a lgbtq photographer so you know you will always be in a safe and welcoming environment with her! I have done a handful of weddings with her now (and even have gotten shoots with her myself!) and I can tell how much she cares about her work that she creates because she is so detail oriented. She also has a very creative eye so she can turn your love story into beautiful, intimate works of art that are also timeless in itself! I couldn't recommend her more!

Zack and Kirsten were absolutely amazing to work with. From the first time I reached out, they scheduled a call to speak personally with me, rather than just email or text. They communicated well and worked with us on what we wanted to see in our wedding photos. They are more "fly-on-the-wall" style and were so relaxed and easy going the day of, we barely noticed they were there most of the time. I am so excited to see our pictures! We also chose videography as part of our package and Jacob was amazing as well! He had great ideas of different ways to film details, photos, dancing etc. I would highly recommend Path & Pines to everyone!

Your wedding is a reflection of your individuality, and it deserves to be as distinctive as you are. Let us create art from your wedding day that is extraordinary and uniquely yours. We specialize in vibrant, contemporary, and dynamic photography for couples who boldly embrace their authenticity and are ready to celebrate in style. Our approach is centered around you and your relationship. We curate a bespoke experience that is dedicated to originality. Our natural posing technique emphasizes movement and genuine emotions, ensuring that the authenticity of your wedding day is beautifully present in every photograph.

Working with Sara Bishop for my late-September wedding in Scottsdale was an absolute dream. I was initially drawn to Sara’s fun and funky aesthetic and her ability to capture candid, genuine emotions over stiff, posed photos. That was exactly what I wanted—and she delivered a million times over! Looking through my photos feels like is like reliving my wedding all over again. Sara managed to capture every special guest and moment in ways that showcased their personalities and the incredible vibe of our day. Every time I look at them, I find a new favorite—it’s going to be so hard to decide which ones to display because there are just so many amazing options! Beyond the photos, Sara was a joy to work with every step of the way. Before the wedding, she sent proactive emails asking for our family shot list and other photo requests, which put me at ease that nothing would be missed. On the day itself, she brought a detailed timeline and kept things moving quickly—it was a very hot day so we were hoping to get our outdoor photos done as quickly as possible and Sara made that happen. During the reception, Sara and her assistant blended seamlessly into the party, capturing all of the energy without being intrusive. Sara delivered our highlights promptly, and the full gallery arrived about six weeks later. Her website offers some great options for purchasing prints, which I can’t wait to take advantage of in the new year. If you’re looking for wedding photos that are full of fun, candor, and raw emotion, I cannot recommend Bish enough!
