Atlanta, GA
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Gastonia, NC

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best. Choosing her was the best decision we made!

WE'LL BE A GREAT FIT IF...

Sof and Tim were amazing to work with! They were communicative, creative, and friendly and made us feel at ease even though neither of us are super comfortable with being photographed. The pictures and video turned out beautiful. We couldn't have found a better vendor, and we're so thankful for their work!

Shannon Leopold Photography

Boone, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Gastonia, NC

Hi I'm Shannon, I was raised in the city of Los Angeles, but now reside in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I describe my photography approach as a "directed documentary". I love to blend more traditional money shots (the big kiss, walking down the aisle, first dances) with a photojournalistic angle that feels like natural snapshots rather than posed photos. My firm belief is that great photos can only reflect what naturally unfolds on your big day. I focus on candids, guest reactions, and photographing anything that helps tell a complete, and unique story. My goal is that anyone who looks at your gallery feels what it was like to be there.

Shannon has impeccable talent! Her photos always tell the most beautiful stories. You can't help but do a little "happy dance" whenever she sends a gallery your way!

Hey future newlyweds! I’m so excited you stopped by my vendor page. I’m Jackie, the passionate photographer behind Jacki J Photography. Having captured weddings since 2020, I can honestly say, it truly brings me joy.

Jackie is AMAZING! This was my first photoshoot, so I wasn't sure what to expect. She made the process so easy and comfortable for me and my girlfriend. I'm not as natural in front of the camera as my now fiancée is but that was no issue that Jackie couldn't fix. She made us laugh and allowed us to be completely us and completely comfortable while she capture the PERFECT moments. I was so happy with not only the scheduling process and the actual photoshoot but also the final results! The pictures were better than we could've asked. Every angle was great and every picture had the right warm and loving 'feeling' we were going for. We've fallen in love with Jackie's photography skills and booked her more times after that. We've shot in the woods, in the city, by a lake, and at the place, me and my fiancée met. If you're still reading this then do yourself a favor and stop reading and go book Jackie if you haven't already!

Alissa and her Sweet Bliss team were wonderful! At my wedding we used their photography, videography, and planning services. I was able to ask questions any time of day and Alissa was diligent in her communication. She was a real help in organizing the reception set up and working with my caterer. Alissa had helpful suggestions and accommodated all of my requests. My wedding photography captured the moment(s) and the colors were vivid. The video of our ceremony was amazing! I am extremely glad I decided to have the video made. It brought back the entire day. Alissa is creative and artistic. I would highly recommend her and will use her services again when my children get married!!

I've spent years photographing weddings and honing my craft, I've got you covered no matter what. Also, I bring snacks. C.

At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling.

This review is so overdue it makes me sick, but the reason I've put it off for so long is because I've struggled to come up with the words to fully capture how I feel about Mel and what she contributed to making our special day E V E R Y T H I N G I could have ever asked for. If you don't want to read my whole novel, here's all you need to know: Mel is incredible. As a human being, a woman, a friend, a professional, a photographer - all of it. She will take care of you. I would've paid 10x as much as we did for the memories Mel gave us -- both actual memories WITH Mel and the memories she captured in her photos. From the very beginning I knew I wanted Mel in my corner. I find it SO admirable and refreshing that she takes seriously whether she meshes with her prospective clients or not. She KNOWS that the photos are going to pop off that much more if the vibes between client & photographer are *chef's kiss* -- she's not just chasing anyone down for the money or the exposure. To me, this made Mel really stand out. Vibing with Mel also meant I felt comfortable (because she allowed me the space to) text her with questions/concerns or for advice during the planning and she ALWAYS made me feel better about whatever I was worrying about. Mel is a friend, a sidekick, a bada**, ready-for-anything, go-with-the-flow-but-also-command-the-flow hype woman professional. I'm not kidding when I say that a large portion of my core memories from wedding day are with Mel. And I don't mean because she was following me around with a camera all day, I mean because of the actual hilarious, heartwarming, lifesaving interactions with Mel that stick out to me more than conversations I had with our own wedding guests. Imagine spending all day with someone who isn't making you laugh, providing you relief from the stress, tending to you and just making you feel like an absolute prize all day!!?! Couldn't be me. Wouldn't be Mel. She's d*mn good company. We had a large wedding party which can be annoying for any vendor but especially a photographer. Mel never made us feel bad about that. She stated the facts, made clear what she needed and then made. it. happen. The groomsmen in our party were not great listeners and Mel dominated in getting everyone's attention back. My bridesmaids were basically crushing over how much of a boss she is. And because of how much of a boss she is, she kept ALL things on track, even things she wasn't originally responsible for. She is THE ultimate wedding expert and has an answer for everything. Not every photographer could do what she does, so thank god for Mel knowing her strengths and positioning herself to share the power of those strengths with all of us. Nothing could've prepared me for the emotions I would feel looking through the gallery Mel delivered. Utter shock and awe -- our photos were uniquely ours but still dazzled with that same Mel magic I fell in love with when I found her on IG. After our wedding, I looked back on our day and felt sad thinking about moments I missed or wish I could redo. Her photos completely took all of that away. It was all accounted for. You can trust her to have listened to your needs/wants, to have taken any unique or awkward circumstances into consideration and to have captured moments you'd probably be sad about missing (even the really small, less obviously-important ones). Book her. Book her for the max duration that you can. She's the best in the biz and nothing could convince me otherwise.

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Katie made sure we had all the shots we wanted and was so understanding and flexible with varying family dynamics, self-confidence worries, etc. She kept everything on track, in conjunction with our coordinator, and really made everything so fun and effortless! We received our sneak peeks 2-3 days after the wedding and they were STUNNING! We cannot wait to see the full gallery!! The day-of the wedding, we were worried it was going to storm and Katie came prepared with alternative options and photos that would have embraced the rain in all it's glory - really putting us at ease. Luckily, the weather cleared up and we were back to Plan A - but we know that she would have made the best of the situation! We could not recommend Katie enough and feel so lucky to be one of her wedding couples! We would re-book her in a heartbeat! We cannot thank them enough for giving us our memories to last a lifetime!!

I love being a wedding photographer in Asheville. Spending time with couples one on one to develop a personal connection and make them feel comfortable is what I love! I want everyone to feel like they are in their comfortable and natural environment when they are with me. Capturing people’s natural emotions and connections with those they love is why we take photographs, right? So let’s get comfortable and make the process stress free! When you hire me you get me. I will always be the person that you work with, from the first email, through your future sessions. No outsourcing photographers here!

I would 100% recommend Jessica Merithew Photography! Jessica has done family photo shoots (both for my wife and I and our "newborn" dog - seriously these were amazing!) and also our elopement at the NC Arboretum! Jessica is so easy and fun to work with. Highly recommend!

Do not hesitate to book Vandreena. I was looking for an affordable videographer who was willing to film our ceremony only. VNC Photography was the perfect fit. The quality of the video was unbelievable. And we received the YouTube link to our video the very next morning!!! This was great because it allowed family members who missed the ceremony to view the video so soon after the event. Vandreena was so sweet and reliable and was truly a pleasure to work with.

Wedding photographs should honor your relationship and highlight your unique connection. More than simple validation, they are a declaration that love knows no boundaries. So, it’s important to find a photographer who understands the full scope of your story, someone who sees both the broader significance and its personal meaning. And someone who captures it all through unforgettable photographs. When it comes to photography, it takes a non-traditional perspective to look beyond the obvious and capture the hidden bits of who you two really are.

Raven documented my wedding day with such care and clarity. In her pictures, I see the settings, people, and details, when it all happened. Lush greenery and orange leaves where my partner and I said our vows. My aunt smiling as she met my baby daughter. Hugs with guests after our ceremony. The flowers on my alternative style dress. Amazingly, she got many of these shots when the people in the photos did not realize it. They're not only a killer record of what happened that day. Her pictures are lovely and naturalistic with vibrant colors. Killer wedding day coverage is not the only thing you get with Raven. She is great to work with throughout the process, always warm, well-organized and punctual.

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras to using flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

I'd been following Nina Marin on Instagram for a number of years so once I got engaged, I knew exactly who to reach out to to capture my engagement shoot and elopement. As someone who cringes at being in front of the camera, she made me feel at ease and didn't hesitate to pose us or adjust our awkward hands/faces/etc. The pictures we got back felt like us — Nina was able to capture not only the visual aspects of our special day, but also the sheer bliss. I'm so grateful to have worked with such an easygoing and trustworthy photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
1. Kyle is a true professional - A lot of photographers are great at taking photos but bad a business (Project management, sending you reminders, dealing with difficult family members, coordinating with other vendors, etc.). Kyle has a background in business and I can tell. Feels like I would have him on a consulting project. He works on timelines with you. He gives you firm deadlines, good client management skills. 2. Kyle is good at taking photos - Yup, simple but he takes great photos. I won't get into the weeds but he definitely has some dark and moody ones but some with lighter tones. He does your traditional family portraits, fun photos on the dance floor, but he'll mix in some photojournalistic ones and ones you would expect in a magazine. He was quick to edit and send us photos after the wedding. We didn't have to wait too long. 3. Kyle is fun to work with, he's reliable. He made my wife feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. That's huge. It's your wedding day and you want to trust someone. Someone like Kyle. 4. He serves as more than a partner throughout the day and months leading up to the wedding than just a photographer. There is a reason he charges a bit more than some other photographers 5. Personality-wise he was a great medium and I liked it. He's not too bold that he takes over the wedding and distracts from your big day, but he's bold enough to tell people what to do and get the right shots he needs. 6. I would recommend him!

About wedding photographers in Gastonia, NC

How much does a wedding photographer typically cost in Gastonia, NC?

A Gastonia, NC wedding photographer ranges from $195 to $20,000 and averages at $2,500.
