26 Wedding Photographers You Need to Follow on Instagram
by Lauren Mandel, Director of Marketing
Instagram has become so much more than a photo-sharing tool — personal brands can be amplified (or created), behind-the-scenes glimpses can be shared, and businesses can be grown. Wedding and event photographers offer some of the most beautiful photos on their Instagram feeds, but some of our absolute favorite accounts share so much more than gorgeous shots. Follow along with photographers as they attend industry events, or read the stories (in a caption, of course) of how their stunning photos were captured. Below are 26 wedding and event photographers who we love to follow on Instagram — and you will, too.

Instagram: @erickelley
Lush florals are a common thread in many of Eric Kelley’s most beautiful Instagram posts. Whether it’s a towering chuppah, cascading centerpiece, or dainty boutonniere, it’s impossible to choose a favorite floral-focused (or really, any) photo that Eric has taken.
Instagram: @erichmcvey
Every photo on Erich McVey’s Instagram is more beautiful than the last, and many of which were shot in exotic locations like Portugal, Scotland, and Tuscany. Now, if only we could travel with Erich on his next adventure.

The simplest way to describe the Instagram feed of Jenna Lee Pictures is absolutely gorgeous. Each set of photos is artfully arranged to create a stunning grid, and we love her natural, organic aesthetic.
