Hey, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a wedding photographer, yes — but more than that, I’m someone who deeply values connection. I love getting to know my couples, their families, and their chosen families. I photograph all kinds of love, but I’m especially proud to serve the LGBTQIA+ community. As a lesbian and someone who’s been through the wedding planning process with my amazing wife, I know how powerful representation is — and how much it matters.

Michelle was an absolute delight to work with for our engagement shoot. From our very first interaction, her communication style was effective, kind, and joyful, making the whole process feel effortless. She was so sweet and happy, it was truly contagious and it shines through in her work. We were so comfortable the entire time, even though beforehand I was not happy with my makeup. Once we started shooting, it didn’t even cross my mind. Without even seeing the photos, I was just so excited and knew they were going to be stunning. The quality of her work is truly dreamy and creative - she even brought our vision of having the feel of an early morning in New York City to life, even though we were in Fresno, CA. Her ability to work with us to capture our perfect date idea was impressive, and the resulting photos are breathtaking. We couldn't be happier with the work and passion Michelle showed us during our shoot!

My name is Freddy and I am a Documentary styled photographer based out of Fresno, CA. I have been doing photography since 2018. I found my passion in wedding photography by watching romantic love pieces. I love to make my photos feel as if they if they forever freeze time in a picture that will last you years to come.

We hired Freddy (BYX Photography) To capture our wedding day this past December of 2022. We absolutely loved working with him & loved the photos he captured for us that we'll be able to cherish for the rest of our lives. Freddy was so sweet, He was not only professional but he made the entire experience effortless on our part which as the Bride & Groom was so amazing. Freddy went above and beyond to make sure everything we wanted was noted down & he made sure to follow through the day of. He made me feel so comfortable while photographing my "getting ready" photos, All of my bridesmaids had requests for photos they wanted to take and he worked well with everyone and was open to ideas/poses we had in mind. Freddy prepared a contract and made sure to answer any questions we had while going over the agreement. As far as pricing I personally think it was great & more cost effective than other photographers I previously looked into. Everything was done In a timely manner and he did a wonderful job communicating with us in regards to when our photos would be finalized and any other details we needed to be aware of.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

We are incredibly grateful Xenia was our engagement/wedding photographer and couldn't be happier with the results! The photos will speak to her technical talent; her professionalism and dedication to her craft are evident in every shot. It was so hard for me to only select 6 photos. What the images don't explicitly show is that Xenia was an absolute joy to work with. She is clear, transparent, and helpful in her communication. Her straightforward and friendly communication ensured we were always on the same page and felt supported throughout the process. While shooting, she is organized and efficient. We got every shot we hoped for and then some. Her enthusiasm and joy were infectious. She made these two awkward nerds feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We cannot recommend Xenia enough! We will cherish the photos you took forever!

MA & CA Your wedding isn’t just a sequence of events—it’s a mix of energy, quiet pauses, and the moments in between that hold the most meaning. You want a photographer who sees the unscripted, the unfiltered, and the unexpected—the things that make your day yours. I work with couples who value nostalgia, emotion, and a little edge in their wedding story. The ones who want their photos to feel like them—unposed, unforced, and unrepeatable. Whether it’s the weight of a glance, the rush of the dance floor, or the way your hands find each other in the middle of it all, every image is a keepsake of your story—without trends, AI edits, or formulas

Awarded Best of Zola
Having worked with Justina before, we were always impressed by her cool, calm, and thorough communication style. Her unique and creative approach to photography perfectly captured the theme and feel of our wedding. Justina was running around during the reception, elusively getting the best candid and detail shots. Her attention to detail was amazing from making sure we got every family photo we had discussed to capturing every special moment at the reception. We were grateful for the time she took to walk through all the details and timeline with us leading up to the big day - it really helped everything run smoothly. Justina's great spirit and ability to make us feel at ease throughout the process resulted in photos that we'll cherish forever. We highly recommend Justina to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer for not only your wedding, but engagement photos as well!

From the very beginning, their communication was clear, punctual, and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work was truly stunning - personal, detailed, and capturing all the special moments of our day.

Everything was delivered on time, and as I was delivered photos, he kept me in constant communication when the rest would be delivered. I cannot recommend enough.

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!

Run, don’t walk! My husband and I had the most amazing experience working with Tooney. She is incredibly talented, and kind, her warmth radiates into her photography. My husband and I decided to elope with very short notice and she was able to accommodate us even when leaving town for a big gig on the weekend. We also don’t have experience posing much and she was so skilled at giving us direction. But most importantly it just felt like fun! My husband (who hates taking pictures) said “We got the best photographer possible, she made this so fun”. We got our sneak peeks in just 2 days and we are so ecstatic about the gallery we got. We plan to do a bigger celebration with extended family and friends and will absolutely reach out to Tooney again. You’re in great hands with her!

Your wedding day is filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I’m here to capture them in a way that feels natural, effortless, and truly you. With a calm presence and an eye for storytelling, I focus on the real, unscripted moments—the quiet hand squeezes, the deep belly laughs, the happy tears—so you can relive them for years to come. My approach is simple: Be a steady, supportive presence, document your day with care, and make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you're camera-shy or love being in the spotlight, I'll guide when needed and step back when the magic happens naturally.

We were thrilled to have Eli as our wedding photographer! His relaxed manner and constant smile made the whole experience enjoyable. Eli has a wonderful ability to focus on capturing natural interactions, steering clear of overly cheesy poses, which was exactly what we were looking for. Our wedding ceremony took place at the Santa Barbara courthouse, and with 60 of our closest friends and family in attendance, Eli documented the intimate atmosphere. One of the highlights of our experience was when he surprised me by showing up at my hair appointment unannounced. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and he managed to capture special moments with my family that I will cherish forever. His willingness to go above and beyond throughout the entire day truly impressed us! Eli's photography style is modern and simple, featuring clean lines and natural colors that beautifully reflect the essence of our wedding day. He even brought along a second photographer for the ceremony, which was fantastic! This ensured that every precious moment was documented from multiple angles, and we are so glad he did. We can’t wait to plan our next party so that Eli can be there to capture every special moment again. If you're looking for a dedicated and talented photographer who is genuinely passionate about his craft, we wholeheartedly recommend Eli! Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!

His experience shone through as he was comfortable facilitating numerous group photos and offering great suggestions on positioning. Ozan also scoped out the venue ahead of time and brought us to multiple spots for one-of-a-kind photos we hadn't even thought of taking on our own. The final edited photos were delivered quickly after the wedding, and the quality was truly professional and a cut above the rest. We received so many photos organized by different times during the wedding including getting ready, ceremony, portraits, family portraits, reception, night, and details including photos of our venue, flowers, and place settings. We are thrilled with the memories Ozan was able to create for us through his exceptional work.

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—genuine, emotional, and meaningful. My goal is to create photos that bring you back to the emotions of that day, reminding you of the love, commitment, and joy that made it unforgettable. When I’m not with the camera, you’ll find me painting, refreshing my home decor, hunting for vintage treasure, exploring new places, or taking care of my plants family (currently over a dozen and counting!).

I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them! Her talent, patience, and warmth made this experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not just pictures, but emotions and memories that last a lifetime.

Eduardo was AMAZING!! From the moment we booked him till receiving our photos. The communication was direct and to the point which is what we loved. During our wedding he was extremely personable and made us feel comfortable and reminded us to just be in the moment. He really went above and beyond during wedding day. In receiving our pictures, we were even more impressed and so happy with how they turned out. We feel it’s important to have someone you can build trust and connect quickly in such an important day and that’s Eduardo. We are fortunate that we went with blackhatstudio for our wedding photos. We are so excited to now print them and share with our loved ones! Thank you Eduardo for capturing our day!!!
