Hey my name is Taylor Pickle. I’m a photographer based in Birmingham Al. I’ve been doing photography for 2 years. I would love to take your wedding pictures and capture your memories! I would love to be apart of your special day! 🤍

Taylor was called in at the very last minute when our wedding photographer woke up sick the morning of. She did a fantastic job and not once did I see her stressed! We have quite a few kids and she captured them all beautifully. The photos of our ceremony and reception were stunning as well and really captured the day well. Both the indoor and outdoor pictures were beautiful. Nothing was edited in an unnatural or unflattering way, and I enjoyed the mix of grayscale and color images she provided us. Absolutely recommend her!

cat lover • seafood snob • cherry blossom • beach obsessed I'm so happy that you've landed on my little corner of the internet! It's such an honor to have you here. I am a native Texan! I moved to Alabama around 2018 with my husband and daughter. I have been doing photography for around 12 years! I photograph a lot of different things, but I like to keep my focus on weddings, maternity and portrait work. I have been blessed to have traveled all over the world to take pictures! Europe, Hawaii, and Many other US states. Please don't hesitate to ask if I will come to your state, because I will.

I had a great experience working with Laneishia. She was very professional and informative when it came to discussing the whole process with me. She was quick to respond to any questions I had, and she was amazing to communicate with when it got closer to our wedding date. The day of, she was on time and her personality is just amazing to be around. I was anxious but she quickly had me at ease! My husband and I both felt very comfortable around her and her assistant. She was open to doing different photo poses and ideas as well. I received my sneak peek just a week after the wedding and it had a lot of great shots included in it. There were only two things I was super Bridezilla about, the photos and the cake, everything else I was flexible on. And Laneishia more than delivered! I was blown away by how perfect she captured our day!! I gush about her every chance I get, because these photos more than exceeded my expectations. You won't regret working with her, she's amazing!

Hi there, my name is Ellie, welcome to McKenzie Studios! I'm a traveling wedding and elopement photographer based in Birmingham Alabama. From the US to the UK, Photography has always been a passion of mine, and documenting the craziness of my own life has been so fun to look back o over years. This is why I know how important it is to capture all those special little moments that make life so special.

To say Ellie is amazing would be an understatement. My now fiancé worked with Ellie to plan a “photoshoot” for a surprise proposal. I had mentioned that I wanted our photos to not look “autumn-y” which was a big ask considering it was beginning of November. Somehow she made it happen and our photos came out exactly how I wanted. As for the additional work she put in to the proposal prep, she went above and beyond helping my fiancé set up the picnic and overall story line to get me to the point of the proposal without any idea of what was to come. She is just such a genuine person and I would recommend her to ANYONE looking for a photographer in the Birmingham area!

Krista Suzanne Photography

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Shelby, AL

My friends would describe me as a sunny and bright person, and that’s how I photograph. I love capturing joy and making sure that the session feels that way too. I am the youngest sister of four girls and it have always been surrounded by creativity (and girls borrowing all my clothes). My favorite thing is bringing that creativity and fun to my sessions, and I can’t believe I get to bring my passion to my job each day.

My husband and I loved getting to work with Krista for our family and couples photos. She's such a joy to be around, so sweet and is super reliable. We felt like we could trust her with our memories and really enjoyed her easy direction for when we were in front of the camera. Plus the final images are perfect and are printed all over the walls in my house!

Hey Y'all! Thanks for stopping by! I am a bright, colorful, and classic wedding and lifestyle photographer located in Birmingham, Alabama! I believe in love and marriage, and think it is something to be treasured! I love capturing joy in people's lives, so I believe that is why capturing weddings and families are my favorites. Especially since becoming a mother myself, weddings and family sessions have even more importance to me now than ever! I consider it an honor to capture memories for my clients- whether thats on your wedding day, your anniversary, welcoming a new baby, or your children's milestones.

One of the best investments of our wedding was choosing Chelsea as our photographer! I've had so many people tell me that our photos are some of the best they've ever seen, and I couldn’t agree more. Chelsea is one of the kindest people and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, both for our engagement and wedding photos. She even went above and beyond to use her own dress to wipe something off my husband’s suit when we didn’t have any napkins around! Her second shooter on the day of the wedding was also amazing and a joy to work with. They captured every moment and more than I could have imagined! Chelsea is truly gifted at what she does, and you can tell how much she loves it. Trust me, you want her as your wedding photographer! I cannot wait to use her again for future family photos!

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!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Eugene for our wedding! His relaxed, easy-going vibe immediately put us at ease, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. It felt like having a close friend capturing our day, not just a photographer. The photos are breathtakingly beautiful and so true to life— just authentic moments and natural colors that perfectly captured the feel of the day. Every time we look at them, it’s like reliving our wedding all over again. Eugene was a pro at blending in seamlessly—catching the little candid moments while still guiding us gently through the posed shots when needed. He made everything feel so effortless and fun! If you want stunning photos and a photographer who makes the entire process stress-free, we can’t recommend Eugene enough!

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!

OMG!! I can’t say enough about how amazing Lesleann was. I reached out to Lesleann during the Pandemic and right before she delivered her baby girl. I must admit, I was nervous to book her but she reassured me she would be back in time for my engagement photos. She wasn’t lying. I think she had more energy than me. She walked up and down, crawled and even got on the ground for our stunning photos. She instantly became one of the bridesmaids. She was a true joy and pleasure to work with.

I have had the honor of working with Paige on a few occasions. I am a minister and perform wedding ceremonies. When I first saw Paige's photos, I was blown away by the beauty of each and every picture she captured, even the ones with me in them. The quality of her photography is impressive. I also love how discreet Paige is while she is taking pictures during the ceremony. I did not know where she was or the pictures she was taking until I saw them. Paige has a loving, caring personality, totally professional, and is a complete joy to be around. So much so, I asked her to take pictures of my grown daughter who has autism. My daughter can be a challenge, but Paige has the patients of a saint and took the time needed to work with my daughter to capture images that are utterly amazing. If you are looking for a photographer who will capture your day to its fullest, where you will have many beautiful, treasured keepsakes, you have found her. I adore Paige with Ivey Photo and would recommend her to all!

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.
