Beyond newborn photography, the studio provides maternity sessions in both studio and outdoor settings, outdoor family portraits, and milestone sessions that follow a baby throughout their first year. Summer Elizabeth Photography describes its approach as baby-led and safety-first, prioritizing the newborn’s comfort and cues throughout each studio session rather than rushing through a fixed shot list. Clients highlight the studio’s patience during sessions, noting that feedings and wardrobe changes are never rushed, which allows for calmer babies and more natural expressions in the final images. With a full range of newborn session styles, from studio and lifestyle to Fresh 48 hospital visits, Summer Elizabeth Photography gives Phoenix-area parents flexible options for documenting their baby’s first days, all built around a safety-first, baby-led philosophy.

Serving a wide swath of the West Valley and greater Phoenix metro, Kandid Clicks Photography gives parents across multiple Phoenix-area suburbs access to an experienced newborn and family photography team without needing to travel into the city center.

Working primarily out of the 85018 area of Phoenix, Alisa offers in-home newborn lifestyle sessions that capture babies in the comfort and familiarity of their own nursery, alongside garden and outdoor portrait sessions for growing families.

Green Eyed Phoenix Photography has spent more than 15 years photographing Arizona clients, building a reputation specifically around micro-weddings and elopements rather than trying to be a full-scale traditional wedding studio. That focus shows up in how the business is set up: pricing is positioned as an affordable option for couples who want professional photography without the cost structure built around large ballroom weddings, which has made the studio a common choice for courthouse ceremonies, small backyard gatherings, and desert elopements around the Valley. The photographer has been voted one of Phoenix’s Top Photographers two years running, and the portfolio built up over a decade and a half spans not just weddings but family portraits, senior and graduation photos, modeling portfolios, and product photography — a broader base of technical experience than a studio that shoots only weddings. Service area covers most of the greater Phoenix area, including Cave Creek, Chandler, Fountain Hills, Glendale, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Peoria, Scottsdale, and Tempe, so couples across the Valley have reasonable access without paying a significant travel fee. For couples planning a smaller-scale wedding or elopement who want an experienced local photographer without the price tag of a full-service luxury studio, Green Eyed Phoenix Photography offers over a decade and a half of Valley-specific experience. 

Brooks Photo + Video is run by husband-and-wife team Eric and Sarah, who’ve been creating wedding photography and film content together since 2015. Their approach leans deliberately away from posed, formal wedding photography in favor of what they describe as the spontaneous and wild moments — the in-between beats of a wedding day that couples don’t plan for and often don’t even notice happening. Based in Arizona, the team has built out a portfolio heavy on adventure and elopement-style shoots across Sedona, Flagstaff, Prescott, and Scottsdale, alongside more traditional venue weddings closer to Phoenix, and they’ll travel further when a couple’s wedding calls for it. Because Eric and Sarah offer both photography and videography, couples working with Brooks Photo + Video get a combined team already used to shooting alongside each other rather than coordinating two separate vendors who’ve never worked a wedding together. On WeddingWire, the studio holds a 5.0 rating across 8 reviews. Their online galleries and film reels lean cinematic and colorful rather than muted or editorial, which tends to appeal to couples planning an outdoor, adventure-leaning, or destination-style Arizona wedding rather than a strictly traditional ballroom event. 

Frances and Tony run their Phoenix wedding studio as a true husband-and-wife team, combining more than 17 years of experience between them into a shared cinematic, documentary-leaning style across both photography and wedding films. The studio has been named a Hall of Fame Studio by The Knot five separate times, along with an Editor’s Choice award and recognition as a Best Husband & Wife Wedding Photography Team, plus additional honors from the Global Wedding Awards, Wedding Rule, and Zola’s Best of 2023 list. Their coverage philosophy centers on honest, unscripted moments — the studio’s own materials describe working calmly and intentionally with couples so they can stay present during the day rather than performing for the camera, with the photographers handling timeline planning and family shot lists in advance to keep the day itself low-stress. Every wedding package includes two lead photographers rather than a single shooter plus an assistant, and pricing runs from $2,500 to $5,000 for five to ten hours of combined photo and film coverage. While based in Phoenix, Frances and Tony also travel for weddings throughout Colorado, California, and Nevada, giving them experience across a range of venue types beyond just the Sonoran desert. Couples can reach the studio at (602) 800-9680 or by email at [email protected] to check availability. 

Alyssa Bain got her start in the wedding industry in 2017, launching Butterscotch Rose Photography with her sister in Denver before relocating to Phoenix and rebranding as a solo studio under her own name. Across roughly a decade of shooting, she’s been lead photographer on hundreds of weddings, developing an organic, candid style that leans into genuine reactions over engineered poses. What sets her editing process apart is the sheer time investment: Alyssa spends anywhere from 60 to 100 hours per wedding editing and color-correcting the final gallery, well beyond what many studios put into a single event, which shows up in the consistency of tone and detail across her portfolio. Her Phoenix-based studio covers ceremonies, receptions, and rehearsal dinners, and while she’s rooted in the Valley, she also takes on destination sessions when couples want her specific style somewhere outside Arizona. On WeddingWire, Alyssa Bain Photography holds a 5.0 rating across 17 reviews. Beyond weddings, she also shoots commercial, family, and event work, giving her a broader technical range than a photographer who only ever shoots wedding days — useful for couples who also want engagement or family portrait sessions from the same photographer they’ll trust with their wedding. Couples can reach her through her studio website to check availability and discuss coverage. 

Jack Dalten Creative runs as a full production studio rather than a single photographer with a camera — alongside wedding photography and videography, the Phoenix and Scottsdale-based team also offers DJ services and a 360-degree video booth, which means a couple could realistically book their photography, film, and reception entertainment through one vendor. The studio’s stated approach favors cinematic, natural-feeling imagery over stiff, over-posed formals, aiming for coverage that reads as intentional rather than staged. Coverage options range from smaller two-to-five-hour mini packages up through full wedding-day packages that bundle photography and videography together, which gives couples with tighter budgets or smaller elopements a real entry point instead of forcing them into a single all-day package. Jack and the team travel across Arizona for weddings, with regular work in Tucson, Flagstaff, and Prescott in addition to the Phoenix metro, and they take on destination bookings outside the state as well. On WeddingWire, the studio holds a 5.0 rating across 36 reviews, with couples specifically calling out the team’s communication and ability to stay on top of emotional, fast-moving moments during a wedding day without missing them. For couples who want photography, video, and entertainment coordinated through a single studio, Jack Dalten Creative can be reached through their website. 

Sierra Blanco Photo – Video takes its name from the White Mountains of eastern Arizona, where owners Tina Wright and Kevin Juberg first met — a detail that says something about a studio built on a real partnership rather than a brand name picked for marketing. The husband-and-wife team has run their Phoenix-based photography and videography business since 2005, shooting in a documentary style with a modern, artistic edit rather than heavily posed traditional portraiture. Their work has been featured in Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine, and the studio’s client testimonials — a long list posted directly on their site — span everything from intimate elopements to multi-day cultural celebrations. Sierra Blanco covers weddings throughout metro Phoenix and Sedona, and the couple’s connection to Northern Arizona shows in how often their portfolio features red-rock and high-desert backdrops alongside typical resort and backyard Phoenix venues. Because the studio offers both photography and videography under one roof, couples can book a combined package instead of coordinating separate photo and film vendors, and the team also takes on destination weddings outside Arizona. Two decades in business means Tina and Kevin have shot in most of the Valley’s major wedding venues already, which shows up in how they anticipate lighting and timeline snags specific to each location. They can be reached directly at (480) 606-8350. 

Leslie Ann Photography has been photographing Arizona weddings for 26 years, long enough to have shot more than 1,000 of them across the Phoenix metro area and beyond. What started as one photographer’s studio has grown into a small team — Leslie, Andrea, Chad, Jordan, and Shannon each shoot for the studio — which lets the company take on multiple weddings on the same date without turning couples away during peak season. Their house style is described on their own site as natural and true-to-color: images that avoid heavy filters or trend-driven editing in favor of documenting the day the way it actually looked and felt, from getting-ready light to reception dancing. The studio has built up more than 150 five-star reviews across Google and WeddingWire, and works venues throughout the greater Phoenix area — Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Glendale — as well as trips north to Sedona, Flagstaff, and Pinetop for mountain and red-rock weddings. Longevity shows up in the small details: the studio’s blog and venue guide reflect two and a half decades of walking Arizona properties, which helps when it comes to anticipating lighting and timeline challenges specific venues throw at photographers. Couples can reach the studio at (480) 219-3156, including by text, to check date availability. 

AZ Wedding Photographer is a Queen Creek-based studio built around a full bench of shooters rather than a single photographer — the team includes Maddie, Shristi, Marissa, Kelly, and Filippo, giving couples multiple style options within one studio and backup coverage if a specific photographer’s calendar fills up. Over the studio’s history the team has completed more than 1,500 weddings across the Phoenix metro and beyond, including Sedona, Flagstaff, Tucson, and Scottsdale, plus destination bookings as far as Italy and Sicily. Their house style favors candid, documentary-leaning coverage with a true-to-life edit — images that stay close to how the day actually looked in color and light rather than a heavily stylized filter. Clients consistently mention how easy the studio is to work with logistically: packages are customizable from small elopements up to full multi-day celebrations, and AZ Wedding Photographer offers monthly payment plans that run up through the wedding date itself, which reviewers single out as a meaningful help when budgeting a wedding. The studio is a BBB-accredited business with an A+ rating. For couples who want a candid, unfussy record of the day handled by an established team rather than a solo operator, AZ Wedding Photographer can be reached at (602) 606-7799 or [email protected]. 

Lovelee Photo & Video has spent more than sixteen years photographing weddings across Phoenix and Scottsdale, building a studio that couples and reviewers repeatedly describe as calm under pressure. Founded in 2009, the team pairs photography with cinematic videography, so couples end up with both a full gallery and a wedding film rather than having to hire two separate vendors. What shows up again and again in client feedback is the planning side of the job: Lovelee builds out a detailed hour-by-hour timeline before the wedding day, which reviewers credit with keeping things moving smoothly even during a Phoenix summer, when heat and tight venue schedules can derail a shot list fast. Family portraits are handled briskly without feeling rushed or stiff, and couples note that the team quietly captures moments they didn’t realize were happening — letting them stay present at their own wedding instead of performing for the camera. The studio also serves Southern California clients, giving it a broader base of destination-wedding experience than a strictly local shooter. Turnaround on final edited galleries is another consistent point of praise. Couples looking for refined, editorial-leaning wedding images with a documentary undercurrent, plus a team that manages logistics as much as photography, can reach Lovelee at (480) 612-3812. 

Laura Segall brings a photojournalist’s eye to Arizona weddings — literally. Before she ever photographed a bride and groom, she earned a BFA in photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology and spent years on newspaper staffs in Michigan, Maine, Maryland, and Iowa, chasing real moments on tight deadlines. She brought that same instinct for the unscripted moment to Phoenix in 2008, and has since photographed more than 200 Arizona weddings and elopements. The World Photojournalistic Association has named her a Top International Wedding Photographer, and her editorial work has run in The New York Times, People, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, Phoenix Magazine, and Arizona Highways. Segall’s wedding coverage steers away from posed, cookie-cutter shots in favor of letting the day unfold on its own — brides walking barefoot through Sonoran desert light, grandparents caught mid-laugh, the chaos of a reception dance floor. She works solo or with a second shooter depending on the package, and custom wedding collections start at $2,900. Couples planning a Phoenix-area wedding, elopement, or destination celebration can reach her directly by phone or text, and her studio has built a reputation over nearly two decades for documentary-style images that read like a real story rather than a highlight reel of poses.
