I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Our day with Dani was like a dream come true. When my fiancé proposed in the breathtaking Lake Garda, I was completely swept off my feet. Dani’s talent shone through in every shot—each photo was a stunning capture of our joy and the beauty of the day. I found myself in tears looking through them, so perfectly did they convey our emotions. Dani had this incredible knack for giving just the right amount of direction while letting everything feel so natural and candid. It was amazing how she made us feel at ease, despite the excitement, and her presence made the whole experience flow effortlessly. Dani's warmth and skill turned what could have been a whirlwind day into a series of perfectly captured moments. I can’t recommend her enough to couples who want not just gorgeous photos but a truly heartfelt and memorable experience.

For modern romantics who want to remember how it felt - and where awkward photos go to die + Hey, I’m Emily — a wedding photographer based in Lancaster, PA, serving Philly, New Jersey, and beyond. I photograph wildly-in-love, creative, sometimes-nerdy, always-authentic couples who care more about connection than perfection. My work blends true-to-color edits with rich, cinematic tones, and I shoot on both digital and 35mm film to bring a little texture, nostalgia, and realness to every gallery. Here for the fandom infused love stories, Tolkien inspired decor, grand editorial vibes...whatever is true to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I booked Emily for our May 24, 2025, wedding, and it was the best decision we ever made. From the initial communication, we knew that Emily was the perfect match. You can sense her compassion, care, and creativity from the first call, and she did a fantastic job of being available and keeping us informed. We had a lovely engagement session the previous October, where we had the most fun with our two dogs. Emily was warm, inviting, kind, and incredibly fun to work with for the whole shoot. When the wedding day came around, Emily and her assistant were professional, engaged, and felt like they were actually a part of the wedding rather than people just snapping photos. She even picked up my nephew and photographed with the other hand while he was being crazy! Wrangling family members is hard enough, but that was incredible. One important thing that I asked for was lots of photos of my grandmother. She made sure to capture many sweet and beautiful photos of my grandmother that truly reflect who she is. Just a few months after she got sick, those photos allow us to always see her as her beautiful, happy, lively self. Words cannot describe how much this means to my whole family. Choosing your wedding photographer was one of the most significant decisions we made for the wedding. We spent less time looking for almost every other vendor, but the photographer was crucial. I can say a million nice things about Emily and her work, but that would not do her any justice. I can feel the love that comes from the photos she took. I see my friends, family, and the love of my life in their beautiful, natural form. These are the photos that my future children, grandchildren, and so on will see and it's exactly what I hoped for. Thank you for all the love and effort you put into our photos, Emily. I can't wait to work with you many times more times.

McShea Photography

My love of photography started when I realized the happiness photographs can bring to other people, even strangers. To have the ability to capture a moment and the opportunity to catch emotions all with a single click is empowering. Whether its an intimate moment at a wedding, a subtle reaction of a newborn, or just taking life's details and turning them into art, all facets of photography appeal to me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before our wedding, I asked my brother-in-law and sister what they thought we should splurge on. Without hesitation, they both said: photography. They had made the mistake of not prioritizing their photographer—of not finding someone they truly trusted—and they regretted it. When you’re spending so much on a wedding, a good photographer essentially protects your investment. So we made it our mission to find someone we felt confident in—someone fairly priced, artistic, and capable of capturing both candid moments and beautifully composed shots. David is all of that and more. We were getting married out of state and couldn’t even meet him in person beforehand. We had to trust him based solely on a Zoom call—and from that first conversation, we just knew he was the guy. He exudes passion, authenticity, calm, and professionalism. My wife was anxious on our wedding day, and David became a source of comfort, reassurance, and steadiness. He’s everything you want in a photographer. What’s brilliant about David’s work is that every shot feels distinct. He has an incredible eye for composition, capturing surreal, artistic moments with real depth and warmth. His photos allow us to relive the day—especially the moments we didn’t get to fully experience in the chaos. It’s honestly hard to believe how consistent he is. With most professional photographers, you sift through a huge album to find your favorites. With David, every photo is captivating. I also have to mention his patience—especially when we spontaneously asked him to do an offsite photoshoot the night of the wedding… on the beach… in the rain. He didn’t hesitate. That shoot ended up being one of our absolute favorite memories. Not only did we get magazine-worthy photos, but David’s presence helped us come down from the buzz of the day. We laughed, had fun, and genuinely enjoyed the moment—and it shows in the pictures. David’s passion is contagious. He genuinely cares about his art and about giving his clients the best experience possible. Weddings can become routine for vendors, but David made us feel like our day mattered to him too. We truly plan to keep in touch—for anniversaries, milestones, and beyond.

Hi, I'm Emily, the person behind Emily Palm Photography. I'm based in Philly but I travel for weddings worldwide. My passion for photography lies in documenting each wedding's authentic love and real emotions.

Emily was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was able to perfectly see our vision, and execute and embody that in her documentation of our day. The quality of her work, both digital and film, as well as her communication, was nothing less than personal and truly exquisite. The photos she took encapsulate the vibe and all the people present on our big day. She is prompt, responsive in both communication as well as creatively when it came to what we wanted out of a photographer, and kind and relatable. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Not only did she perform amazingly with flexibility and easy going-ness when our timing and lists proved to be less than an adequate, but I felt she truly enjoyed being there and doing what she was doing. She gave us multiple recommendations for other vendors, two of which we ended up choosing, and both of which who were equally fantastic. Your research ends here! Choose Emily! She is THE best!

I'm a documentarian and a storyteller at heart. I capture the most real and authentic moments I can, big or small, loud or quiet. I especially love catching moments that the couple might never get to witness except in their wedding photos. I'm based in Philly, but I'm always up for an adventure, especially one that takes me away from home.

Tracie is always my first choice for a photography colleague. She's magical--she knows where she needs to be, what to pay attention to, how I like to tell a story, and how to be an all around amazing, caring, personable human being. Her extensive background in news photojournalism gives her the ability to blend in with any crowd and has honed her visual storytelling skills. Above all, she is ethical and compassionate when approaching her subjects, and understands how to make anyone feel comfortable and cared for. Her images are always of the highest quality as well as artistic, and I know she will be able to roll with the punches with things go haywire--as they often do with live events. I would hire her in a heartbeat, and have relied on her for local and travel weddings for over a decade.

Choosing Cheryl to photograph our wedding was one of the BEST choices we made in planning. From the very first phone call with Cheryl, I could feel her expertise, professionalism, and warmth. Through the year leading up to our wedding weekend, Cheryl was quick to respond to our texts and emails which always put me at ease. My husband and I were very specific about wanting someone who could capture our day candidly- we did not want to spend our day posing for portraits. Cheryl listened to us carefully and executed that desire perfectly. I also sent her a Pinterest board of photography styles I loved and she brought that inspiration to life! Most importantly- Cheryl made sure we felt comfortable in front of the camera and offered tons of guidance on the day of. During our ceremony and reception, she and her assistance worked tirelessly in the background to capture our guests, food, details, and more.

My photo style is very documentary-oriented, highlighting those genuine, candid moments as they unfold, uninterrupted. I approach the day by aiming to capture not just how a moment looked, but really the way that it felt. I want you to look at your wedding photos and be able to remember the conversation with your sister that made you laugh that hard, and the look in your mom's eye that made you tear up as she zips your wedding dress. Those moments are my bread and butter. While I'm more than happy to offer some prompts and posing tips during couples portraits, I'm honestly most interested in what your day would look like if I weren’t there.

We had a few recommendations for photographers, but when we came across Emily’s work on Zola and Instagram, we were instantly captivated. Her portfolio showcased not only her incredible talent but also her genuine passion for photography. From the start, Emily’s professionalism shone through. We’re a couple that doesn’t take photos very often, but she made us feel completely comfortable, and her natural ability to capture candid moments is unmatched. Emily has an exceptional eye for getting a variety of poses and using the scenery to create stunning images, and her artistic vision truly brought our engagement and wedding photos to life. Our wedding party was fairly large, but Emily handled it with so much patience, calling out names and groupings effortlessly to get every arrangement we had requested. Her second shooter, Wilson, was also a fantastic addition, honestly being a life saver for helping the groomsmen with their boutonnieres and capturing some key moments throughout the day. On our wedding day, Emily was the only vendor with us from start to finish, and she was a joy to work with. She collaborated seamlessly with our videographer, made sure we got in a few breathtaking sunset photos, and captured every detail of our wedding in a beautiful visual story. It truly feels like we’re reliving the day every time we look at her photos. From our initial call to the delivery of sneak peeks just a couple of days after the wedding, Emily was on top of everything. Her communication, even in the months leading up to the wedding via email, was excellent. Her photography packages had transparent pricing and clear deliverables, and she communicated everything with perfect clarity. I would 100000% recommend her to anyone. My husband even mentioned he hopes we have another reason to hire her in the future. Emily is a true professional with impeccable creativity and skill, and we can’t wait to see what she does next.

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

We are so thrilled that we managed to book Jess for our engagement photos and wedding! Beautiful photography was a priority for us, and we wanted our photos to have a genuine, documentary style feel. We wanted the photos to capture the real beauty of the day, without being too heavily edited (we hate the photographers who made everything look pastel!). Jessica was completely in line with our style. My husband and I aren’t naturals in front of the camera, but Jessica made us feel so at ease. We were never uncomfortable with Jessica, and she felt like a natural part of the day. Jessica’s photos speak for themselves. She is able to create stunning visuals, but most impressively, Jess captures emotion in all of her photographs. At our wedding, Jessica and her assistant Kat were always present, but never intrusive. I feel like she is a photography ninja—I don’t even remember seeing her at certain moments, and yet there are beautiful photos of everything. No detail or moment was missed. From the day we worked with Jess on our engagement photos, we knew we were in more than capable hands. I am so impressed with Jessica’s ability to find unique spaces and framing for our photos—some of my favorite photos are in front of everyday places, but with Jessica’s eye they are turned into beautiful works of art. Because she did such a fantastic job with our engagement photos, we had no worries at all on our wedding day. One of Jess’ strengths is her background working as a photographer on music tours. Put her in any type of lighting or setting, and she has the technical skills and experience to create something amazing. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Jess’ professionalism—she is always early and is kind to everyone she interacts with. She is so passionate and excited about her work. Her calm, unflappable attitude made her a pleasure to be around on our wedding day. Her enthusiasm for her work is evident. She's also incredibly hardworking at every stage of the process. Jessica was able to edit our photos and got them back to us within 6 days of our wedding—that is unheard of! We love Jess and are so impressed by her! She is beyond talented and her stunning work will let us relive our wedding day whenever we want. All of our photos were fantastic—it’s hard to narrow down even our top 100 photos. We can’t thank Jess enough for capturing the joy we felt on our wedding day. I’m truly sad that our time working together is over. Jess was easily one of our favorite vendors, and we wish her all the best as she continues to grow her business! We would enthusiastically recommend that you hire Jessica for all your photography needs. Update-- My husband and I were lucky to hire Jessica again about a year after our wedding to shoot some photos of us and our new puppy. As expected, the photos came out beautifully and were delivered to us quickly!

Sabrina, owner and photographer, at SGW was our photographer for our wedding this past June. We couldn’t be happier with her work. For all of the couples who work with her, she suggests an engagement shoot so they can get a feel for her style. It’s an added bonus and it helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and working with her especially on the wedding day. Overall, she’s dedicated to her craft and it shows in everything she does. She’s not a run of the mill wedding photographer. She has a keen artistic eye and exceptional talent. Not to mention she was responsive, professional, and detail-oriented throughout the entire process. When we saw our wedding pictures, my husband and I were absolutely blown away. We know these are the types of pictures that will be in the family for generations ️. All of that to say, hire her as your wedding photographer because she’s amazing!!

I have always been drawn to the thrill of capturing a candid moment and preserving it forever through photography. Being a wedding photographer allows me to have that thrill over and over again by catching the most important moments in your life.

My husband and I had such an amazing experience with Lexy Pierce! She was not only extremely professional and helpful right from our first communion but fun and very easy to work with. My husband and I are not at all used to being photographed and we're a little nervous but Lexy knew how keep it stress free to get the best photos while making it a fun experience for us. The photos she took are absolutely amazing from the posed moments with family to the ceremony and reception and everything in between she truly captured it all. Lexy has a way of being there to capture the really special moments without you even knowing. Lexy photographed little moments we would have missed being so busy if she hadn't carefully preserved them for us. We have so many beautiful photos to hang up and cherish for years to come and have already given many as Christmas gifts to our families. We got the preview photos extremely quickly and the rest not long after and are overjoyed with the quality and quantity of memories we have of our wedding because it really does go by as quickly as everyone tells you. Time lines communicated for delivery were completely accurate and she made sure to keep us updated on estimated dates we would be get the final photographs. The entire process from booking Lexy and everything she helps you with all the way to getting your final photos was a breeze. Lexy is also a huge hit with pets, she got a long great with our cats and dog and made sure to capture all of them in the photos. Our friends and family raved about her and couldn't believe how kind she was and how she fit right in to the crowd. We cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer that is professional, and easy to work with that will deliver amazing photographs of the big day all while making it feel effortless on your part.

I use all that experience to deliver you a wedding gallery that will make you re-live your wedding day for years to come.

Chrissy has been great from the start of our time working with her for our wedding day. She truly got to know us and our style, and we had such a great time working with her! You could tell the quality of her work as she discussed with us about how we should take pictures by city hall at the time of sunset - and also really got to know our venue days before the wedding - to know great locations to take pictures. Also, even before I chose Chrissy as the photographer for our wedding - I truly loved her style as I saw from her instagram and her website. Chrissy is extremely talented, and it was a joy to work with her!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… wait that’s a different story :-) What seems like "lightyears" ago, 2004 was the beginning of our story, an epic tale spanning years and continents as we travel to discover the greatest story ever told…yours!

Lightyear Studios is truly a master of their craft. My one sole criteria was that I did not want a “point- and -shoot photographer” and they are definitely not that! Nathan and Thanh brings true vision to life. We used them for our engagement shoot, my bridal shower, and our wedding. The pictures have all come out beautiful, and really captured the emotion and energy of the room. My husband and I are as awkward on camera as they come. The Lightyear team eases you and helps you navigate through each picture and pose. I don’t know how they do it but I am all here for it. In addition, Their level of communication and ability to get back to your questions and concerns in a timely manner is top tier. Highly recommend!

Weddings are each as unique as the couples that plan them. I set out to artfully document your day rich in love and community as authentically as I can while supporting you how you need. I'll be your cheerleader when needed, and a fly on the wall when not.

Mandy photographed my wedding and engagement shoot a few years back and did an amazing job! For my engagement shoot, she captured many, very sweet moments of my partner, and I cooking breakfast together and taking a walk around our neighborhood. It all felt very natural and she helped us feel comfortable and have fun. She also did a really wonderful job shooting my wedding. Mandy has a real knack for photographing small and intimate moments. Her photographs capture exactly how it felt to be at my wedding.

I will start by speaking my truth: I am 100 percent in love with love. When I pick up the camera and the chemistry between a couple lights up in front of me, all of my creativity takes flight. It's like a spark that spreads light everywhere. Love between a couple, love amongst a family... it is all love in many forms. Behind the lens, I smile A LOT while I shoot. You want to feel beautiful and have your photos capture you at your happiest -- and LOVE the photos. I would love the chance to work with you, and capture your love story or your family story. Or any story you want to share. Please be in touch!

Kim and her team, Steve and Fiona, were absolutely wonderful! Kim’s easy-going nature made the getting-ready process fun! Her and her team made everyone feel so comfortable and helped make our wedding day run smoothly. No one in the groomsmen suite knew how to put on a boutonniere, but Steve came to the rescue and helped all the guys with theirs! We are still in awe about how many beautiful photos we received from Kim. We cannot recommend Kunda Photography enough!

Hey! I’m Elizabeth. I’m a full time freelance photographer currently living in Philadelphia. I was born in Chicago and first started taking photos on my dad’s little point and shoot when I was about 10. Though photography was my first love, I decided to pursue a more “practical” college degree and studied international politics focusing on comparative cultural and economic systems of Eurasia (my degree is currently collecting dust beautifully on my shelf).The whole time, I was doing more and more photography as a creative outlet to the point where I realized I should follow my passion for it and go all in. So all in I went, and here I am!

Elizabeth photographed our wedding on March 9th in Beacon, NY and I couldn't be happier with her and the photographs. I was nervous about photographers and met with many before committing to work with Elizabeth. And I am so glad I did!! My husband is notorious for not smiling in photographs. And we have only gotten our preview (as it has only been 1 week since the wedding) and she managed to get him smiling in more photos than I maybe had for the previous 10 years of our relationship. To say I am thrilled by this might be an understatement. She captured the true spirit of the day in addition to all the required family portraiture. She also was so great to communicate with in the months leading up to the wedding. She was accessible, quick to email back, and always happy to jump on a call. She worked with me to put together a good timeline but then rolled with it when the day was rainy which required a lot of flexibility. Despite all the photographs being inside due to the rain, she captured pictures with beautiful light. I couldn't recommend her more!

I’m Maria, an experienced wedding photographer specializing in multicultural and Western celebrations. As a child, I developed a passion for the arts and culture that only continued to grow with me. After studying photography in college, I decided to pursue wedding photography and have never looked back. I’ve found this path to be more fulfilling than I ever imagined possible, and have settled into my photojournalistic style over the years. I love photographing moments that unfold spontaneously. If you’re looking to capture your love in a way that feels authentic and creative, I’m here for you.

Our experience with Maria was excellent! We were initially overwhelmed when trying to select a photographer for our interfaith wedding, but seeing Maria’s photos on her website made the decision easy. We really appreciated her style of photography - deep rich colors and focus on the couple. Other photographers seemed to have a lot of strange angles and washed out colors, which we were trying to avoid. Hiring Maria was a breeze. She is responsive by email and always happy to jump on a call when needed. Part of her package included engagement photos, which were extremely helpful when putting together our save the dates and website. She is intuitive, yet also did a good job of asking us for our preferences to confirm. The wedding day was also a breeze, and Maria documented all of our key moments without being intrusive at all. Maria’s turnaround times are excellent, and she was never late with delivering sneak peeks or the digital albums. Finally, we also worked with Maria on the final physical photo album. She was very flexible and allowed us to have multiple rounds of revisions. She was very accommodating even when we wanted to swap out many photos for more preferred variations. It was a lot of work and Maria did not hesitate to help us develop the perfect album. Overall my wife and I would highly recommend Maria for any event based on our experience working with her for our wedding. Thanks Maria!

I'm the photographer who is about the change the way you think about photos! I'm a girl doing what I love most- making you feel like the queen you are, and providing something beautiful and timeless in the process. I created Photodelphia to be able to make a living doing what I love! My goal is to be a photographer and friend that you can trust, laugh with, grab a coffee or beer with and be your favorite hype woman (before, during and after the wedding). If you're looking for someone to dance and sing Chappell Roan with, then you're in the right place!

Where do we even begin? Harley was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the moment we met her, she instantly felt like part of the family, not just our photographer, but someone who truly belonged by our side on one of the most important days of our lives. She didn’t just capture the moments, she lived them with us. Harley became one of our best friends throughout this entire journey, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Her energy, her kindness, her insane talent… she is seriously such a vibe. Every interaction felt effortless, like she just got us, and she brought out the most genuine joy in every shot. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without her, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.
