Her work is fantastic, and her style of vibrant, true-to-life colors was gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. She is also just an amazing, funny, and wonderful human, and it was so lovely to have her with us on our big day.

Love you two, thanks for capturing all of my most precious moments!”

Good for: Couples looking for whimsical, film-like photos
Review: “When looking at Henry’s sample of work – I was immediately impressed and drawn to the vintage style of his photos. My partner and I are so happy to have gone with him as our wedding day photographer. He is professional and patient and encouraged us to be natural and comfortable during our photo sessions. He has a great eye for scoping out locations and framing photos to make ordinary spots look cinematic.

5. The Godard’s
Photography style: Journalistic editorial
Good for: Couples who want magazine-worthy photos
Review: “Being a wedding coordinator in the industry, I knew the importance the right vendors would make on the big day. So when it came to photography, something that both my husband and I valued high on our list, I HAD to suggest my faves the Godards, and luckily, he felt the same way. Having worked with them before, I was able to experience their professionalism, care for couples, easy-going attitudes, and amazing talent firsthand. The galleries that they would produce were beautiful and timeless and captured the essence of the weddings in a way that felt natural and real. So when it came to our engagement shoot and wedding, I was once again in awe of the way that they put us both at ease and captured who we are as a couple. We are so grateful to have such beautiful photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Danaea and Silas, for being a part of this milestone season of our life together and we couldn’t imagine sharing the experience with any other photographers.”

Review: “My partner and I had the good fortune of booking Sara for our wedding last fall, and I cannot recommend her enough!

Sara is super friendly, works great with kids, and really helped us relax on the big day, knowing she was there to capture everything. Sara was super professional throughout the entire process, and the resulting photographs were unbelievable! If you are lucky enough to book Sara for your occasion (wedding or otherwise), you won’t be disappointed!

9. Ronnie Lee Hill Photography
Photography style: Candid documentary
Good for: Couples who want a photographer who will take the time to get to know them before their big day
Review: “Ronnie was the very first vendor we booked for our wedding- before we even knew the date or the venue, once I saw her portfolio, I knew she had to be our photographer- my new husband and I are both professional artists so we were both very particular about who we chose to capture our big day. Ronnie’s work is NOT your cookie-cutter wedding photography- she plays with light and composition in a way that makes your wedding feel editorial and glamorous yet natural and romantic. Not only is her photography exemplary, the way she made my usually camera shy partner laugh and be comfortable in front of her camera was great and allowed us to get some wonderful, natural shots. I loved that Ronnie wanted motion, fun, and adventure during our sessions- she was absolutely perfect and so lovely to work with for both our engagement and elopement sessions! I feel so privileged to be captured by Ronnie’s lens, and I highly recommend her for any photography you might need! THANK YOU RONNIE”

13. Freya Photography
Photography style: Unique cinematography
Good for: Fans of Wes Anderson and Stanley Kubrick
Review: “My partner and I recently had a shoot with Kristen and were blown away by how incredible the experience was. In addition to her outstanding photography skills, she also has a talent for making everyone feel comfortable and at home during the shoot; from laughing and joking and hyping us up to the curated music playlists, no detail is overlooked. Kristen’s passion for what she does is clearly evident and makes for an amazing experience in front of the camera. If you’re looking for someone to shoot your wedding, or otherwise capture you and/or your love on camera, look no further! I can’t wait to shoot with Kristen again in the future”

14. Lonely Wolf Productions
Photography style: Candid documentary
Good for: Couples looking for a photographer and videographer duo
Review: “Wow! 2 years later, and I am still obsessed with our wedding video. I tear up every time! Josh was easygoing and worked in unison with our photographer to capture so many special moments. We received our video in a very timely manner (earlier than I was expecting!) and it was everything I had hoped it would be and more. I was also pleased that he had filmed our speeches that I originally had said I didn’t want a copy of because once I heard them, I knew I needed a copy, lol. He was way ahead of me and had recorded them “just in case.” Would definitely recommend Josh again, 10/10.”
