1. Alexis Nichole Photography
I, along with my husband as my second shooter, are Catholic wedding photographers based in South Bend, Indiana.
I converted to the Catholic faith as an adult and immediately fell in love with the endless beauty of the church. Not only the visual beauty but the profound love that I’ve witnessed in so many Catholic couples. It’s always so inspiring to me to see future husbands and wives wholly devote their relationship to the Lord. Knowing that God has guided them the entire way.
As your photographer, my priority is to capture the absolute joy that God has built within your relationship and I love being able to tell your love story through photographs. My ultimate goal is to document your day with all of my heart and soul while ensuring that you are able to be fully present, soaking in all of the beauty and grace that will be surrounding you both.
And know that I will be praying for you the entire way!

2. Kenneth Munyer
As Ken Munyer prepared for a service trip to Nicaragua as a FOCUS missionary, he saved for his first Nikon camera and planned to document the trip as a way to give to and share with his community. “I like to think that God revealed to me my passion for photography and for serving others during that mission trip,” he says.
Ken began shooting events at nearby parishes soon after returning home and set about pursuing photography more seriously. He met a mentor at a wedding Ken was shooting for free, and was amazed by the Lord’s providence as word-of-mouth bookings began to fill his schedule. “Money is not a goal,” says Ken, “but I firmly believe that wealth comes out of a heart of service that is oriented towards God.” Kenneth Munyer Photography LLC was established in 2019.
A Marine Corps veteran who deeply values spiritual and emotional excellence, Ken strives for excellence in his business, as well, capturing the tender intimacies of a wedding day while hoping future generations see the vivid reality and joy of human love embodied in his clients’ images.
From Ken: God is in beauty. He is in the present moment. And, on top of that, every person is made in His image and likeness. What I see when I photograph weddings is the tenderness of the bride and groom; the emotion in their family members; and the mind-blowing truth that their big day is going to go by in what seems like a flash. The gravity of this gives me the energy to properly empty myself in humility and immerse myself in their moments.
I want my clients to experience the same emotion twenty years from now that they experience today when looking at their pictures. And I want their children and grandchildren to see the love and the humanity of their ancestors in a vivid and lucid way…so they can think to themselves, Wow; Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa weren’t so different from us after all.
This interplay with God, with eternity, with the present moment, and all the raw emotion in details in between is how my Catholic faith influences my business. The genesis of this business the Lord has blessed me with came from a mission trip. It came from a genuine desire to serve by using my talent, skill, and heart God’s given me. I simply want to always be a pencil in His mighty hands, to endure the cross of the Little Way with joy knowing that, in the end, it is all to glorify His Kingdom.

4. Tiny Wings Photography
Tiny Wings Photography is owned by Alissa Tuttle, a lifelong practicing Catholic with a deep love for our beautiful Catholic faith. In the midst of discerning how she might be able to serve Jesus more fully, a dream was cultivated to start a Catholic photography business. With her now-husband’s encouragement and much prayer, she developed Tiny Wings, a nod to her childhood nickname, “Little Bird”, and her desire to be an imitation of the Holy Spirit through her work.
She chose to document specifically Catholic weddings due to the sacramental beauty of marriage. Her desire is to give couples peace of mind knowing that their photographer understands their Catholic faith, as well as the significance of the nuptial mass. Her timeless photography style allows her to capture couples naturally, authentically, and wholly as they are: beautiful in the eyes of God.
In addition to documenting Catholic wedding days, she has been gifted with the opportunity to serve Christ through documenting faith-life within her diocese, and family/maternity sessions to showcase the domestic church. To her, sharing the light of Christ with others is her greatest goal, and she loves capturing that light through the love of so many wonderful and faithful individuals.

5. Alexis Dean Photography
Alexis Dean Photography developed out of a passion for incorporating my faith into photography. After years of pursuing photography as a hobby, God prompted me to take a leap into wedding photography and continues to provide in unimaginable ways.
With every photo, I hope to capture the beauty and diversity of Catholicism so that a couple’s wedding gallery reflects not only their love for each other but their deep and profound faith. Specializing in Catholic weddings allows me to tailor my service, from the time they book to their wedding, so they have a vendor who knows the important elements during a Catholic wedding and will, most importantly, pray for them during their engagement.
It is an honor and privilege to capture the raw and intensely emotional moments that comprise a wedding day.

7. Nikayla & Co
I am a photographer primarily based out of Sioux Falls, SD, though I love traveling for weddings and shooting regularly all over the country. Since getting married in 2017, weddings are my favorite thing to photograph and have become even more sacred to me. Reliving my vows at each wedding keeps me tied to this career with more of my heart than I could’ve imagined when I first started. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Minnesota State University Moorhead, MN in 2017 with an emphasis is in photography, and I have loved implementing what I learned from school into my work.

9. Katie Tamesis Photography
I’m Katie Tamesis, a photographer based out of south Georgia but always more than happy to travel to wherever you are! My photography journey began when I joined the Air Force in 2019 as a photographer and videographer. I grew so passionate about photography and wanted to share my experience outside of the military. I decided to leave the Air Force and start my own business, but I knew I wanted to glorify God through my work and through the gift he has given me by focusing on a Catholic clientele and capturing the beauty of God’s design and creation. I consider myself a documentary-style photographer; which I would describe as capturing authentic moments and meaningful details that allow you to relive all the emotions you felt the instant the photo was taken by telling a story with each picture I take. I find inspiration in classical art and film, so my photos have a soft, dreamy feel to them. My goal is to give every one of my clients the best, most comfortable experience by creating genuine connections and lasting memories.
Areas of service: Georgia, willing to travel
