Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Hi! We are Rob and Michelle, we are a couple in love! And our favorite thing to do is photograph other couples in love! We met in college and started dating very soon after, what started as a friendship turned into true love. Photography is our life and passion. We love photography in all of it's variety. When we are not photographing clients we love searching out unique spots for fine art photographs. Rob loves creating images of old churches, barns and landscapes and I love the little microscopic world that lives in the wildflower fields.

They were an amazing team and great at communication, and the quality of their work was truly outstanding and very professional. Rob and Michelle were so helpful beyond the scope of their work - they assisted with planning before and during the wedding, and helped us feel at ease when we were overwhelmed with other details. They were able to capture the essence of our day in such a beautiful and authentic way, and every photo tells a story. We can't stop looking through them!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

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.

Emily photographed some of our biggest life events over the past year. We booked her for our wedding right after finding out we were pregnant so she was able to capture our engagement photos, maternity photos, and in-home family pictures welcoming our baby all leading up to our wedding in September. Emily was able to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera with natural poses but she was also able to capture lots of candid moments for our wedding. We love her bright editing style which fit so well with the vibes of our wedding! Sometimes our emails didn’t like to work with her gallery distribution site, but she was always willing to try-try again to get us our photos!

10/5 STARS A MUST BOOK ********** I simply don’t know if I can put into words how amazing of an experience we had using Eileen as our photographer. She captured our engagement photos and did such an amazing job I was so excited to see how the wedding photos came out - when I tell you she CRUSHED this entire gallery I have never been more serious. The sheer volume of photos is incredible but the meticulous attention to detail and care she took editing every single photo is truly mind blowing. I don’t even know where to begin posting these because I wish I could post every single one. Every time I look at these pictures I remember every emotion I felt on our wedding day and that’s a true blessing and a gift to be able to give people those feelings and relive their most special moments through your work. Eileen takes the time to get to know you on more than just a surface level, she has become a friend since I first reached out to book her and I truly cannot imagine having had anyone else capture our special moments. She is super responsive, thorough, listens to what YOU want and makes it happen, she’s kind and friendly and will make you feel relaxed and comfortable no matter the situation. You can trust her wholeheartedly with your photo needs. I’m not someone who usually likes to get pictures taken of me and I’m always hypercritical of myself in photos but I honestly looked forward to our sessions with Eileen and love every single photo she took. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone in need of a professional photographer. A 10/10 friend, an 11/10 photg, a 12/10 human being - she is a true gem all the way around. Book her now because she books up quick, I PROMISE you will never regret it!!

This is all a dream. In 2019 I bought a $50 camera off ebay just because. Almost immediately I won an award, started participating in galleries, and was published. After a few years of being encouraged by others, I made the decision to go full time. There's a lot of special moments when I photograph weddings and I get to be in best positions to see everything from every angle.

Photos By Michael U was a fantastic wedding photographer to work with. Their communication was always professional and they responded swiftly to any questions or requests. The quality of their work was extremely high, showcasing their talent and unique style. They produced amazing, show-stopping photography that captured the highlights of our special day perfectly. This photographer was incredibly reliable and professional throughout the entire process.

Wow, where do I begin…. Sophie was the photographer at a wedding I was a bridesmaid in a couple months before my wedding. Watching her throughout the day, and seeing the amazing gallery she produced for my cousin, made me and my mom want to hire her for my wedding. We were beyond impressed. Sophie traveled from Cincinnati for my Columbus wedding and shot my rehearsal dinner and wedding. She absolutely killed it. The pictures from both are unreal. She is so insanely talented. Not only does Sophie bring her talent, but her personality is unmatched. Her energy is vibrant and glowing. You just want to be her friend the minute she talks to you. She is so sweet and cool. The nicest person ever. She made my wedding weekend so memorable and just so much better because her presence was so special. I HIGHLY recommend hiring her to shoot your wedding, or anything for that matter. I will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future.

I spent 10 years as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns, and for the past 25 years I’ve photographed weddings with the same calm, observant approach. That experience taught me how to anticipate moments, work quickly in changing light, and capture genuine emotion without getting in the way. I focus on the natural moments as they unfold, keep portraits relaxed with gentle direction, and make family photos organized and efficient so they do not take you away from your wedding for long.

Roman Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. From our very first interaction, Roman's communication was comprehensive, timely and incredibly helpful as we planned the details of our small, backyard ceremony. We had never hired a photographer before, and he was very helpful in asking us questions and sharing information proactively. On the day of, Roman captured the event seamlessly - he knew exactly when to step back and let moments unfold naturally, and when to jump in to get the perfect shot.

I’ve worked with luxury brands, wild-hearted couples, and everyone in between — always keeping things laid-back but organized so you can just live in the moment. From those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it glances to the slow-motion cinematic magic, I’ve got you covered in both photo and film. Let’s create something stunning and real together.

Abbey was AMAZING! She did a great job at making my fiancé and I feel comfortable posing, as well as capturing those candid shots. I'm extremely pleased with the quality and amount of photos we received. She also kept me updated and responded quickly to my questions :)

From the moment we first reached out to Steel Halo Studio, their communication was clear, direct and to the point. The quality of their work and value was on-point, high quality, and perfect. They captured exactly what we were looking for, and we couldn't be happier with the photos that perfectly documented our special day. They had "sneak peaks" to us early the next day. Steel Halo Studio was a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

I was the student who had no idea what she wanted to do after High School. As my peers were applying to college with a clear career path in mind, I struggled to choose just one route. I could see myself in so many roles, and yet none of them fit JUST right. In 2011, my son was born and a new path appeared on my map: Motherhood. This role took over and nothing else mattered. The year progressed and my son grew, and grew and grew some more. I bought my first DSLR to document that rapidly growing boy of mine. It wasn't long before those peers from high school came to me to document their lives as well, and my career path was finally chosen.

Jenna and Brett were absolutely amazing. We hired them for our wedding and engagement photos, and not only were they able to capture the exact moments we wanted plus some, but they also made us feel comfortable and less nervous. They were both timely, personable and so creative, and we’re so thankful to have had them on our team for our wedding day. We got our photos back very quickly, and there was a TON of them. Every photo turned out incredible and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives.

Hey there! We're Colleen and Amanda of Wild Embers Photography (formerly Rustic Light Photography). We are committed to ensuring you have the best experience ever that reflects your raw, unique, and wild love. We want to capture the wholly and unique YOU. We're your gals if you're into candid moments, raw emotion, and embracing spontaneity.

Photography was the number one priority for me when I was planning my wedding because I knew the day would fly by in an instant, and I wanted to remember every moment. Wild Embers Photography not only produced gorgeous images, but they produced A LOT of images - perfect for someone like me who wanted to remember every little detail. Amanda and Colleen were both so easy to work with, responsible, responsive, open to our ideas, and helped us troubleshoot through rough spots in the planning process. They made us laugh, taught us how to pose, and helped us genuinely enjoy our photo sessions for both our engagement and wedding photos. They fulfilled every expectation and beyond - and when there are so many moving parts when it comes to planning a wedding, it was nice to not have to worry about photography :)
