We loved working with Mehmet. Like many brides I was a bundle of nerves as we approached the big day; every time I talked with Mehmet he was very reassuring and easy. On our wedding day, he was a delight to work with. Both my spouse and I are picture-shy, but Mehmet made it fun and our pictures are gorgeous. Also he surprised us by getting video of the ceremony! 10/10, a strong contender for best decision we made when planning our wedding.

Keirsten was so great to work with! She helped navigate my husband and I through all of our wedding photos and even helped with the timeline beforehand so that we had enough time to get post ceremony photographs together. The pictures came out beautifully and she sent us a sneak peak so that we didn’t have to wait weeks to see some of our photos! She was easily one of the best decisions I could’ve made for our special day. I highly recommend to look no further because all of your needs will be met if not exceeded. Could not be happier with Keirsten. So talented and easy to work with!

Awarded Best of Zola
First, my mom failed to read our contract correctly and had the whole family up at sunrise for a shoot instead of 6:45pm. Among the large family group were our twins who would’ve been an absolute nightmare had we stuck with the original time slot we agreed to. The photographer was so kind and flexible and showed up the next morning on short notice to accommodate our group. Not only does my mom hate having her photo taken, our family pet has been sick with cancer for some time now and they did such a wonderful job capturing all of the love and joy surrounding my mom and our beloved pet. Last, my wife and I are a same-sex couple and not all photographers have been the most comfortable to work with in the past. This team is professional and friendly and treated our little family and marriage the same as she did my sisters by offering to take romantic pictures and recognizing our relationship appropriately. It really is the small things that matter and I can’t recommend this team enough.

It’s life’s simple moments that really get me inspired. Endless sun soaked walks with my pup Ollie + husband Michael, thrifting, vegging out on the beach until I've lost track of time, coffee shops with pals, testing out a new vegan recipe, or sharing a glass of wine with the people that I love. I live for the small, slow, nostalgic moments. Growing up, I was a quiet observer, always dreaming and creating. My desire to photograph + document grew so organically, and now I'm lucky enough to say that I have been photographing professionally for nine years, and truly never see myself stopping.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

I was so pleased to work with OLAS. When I got engaged I had several photographers in mind and felt very discouraged when I found out they were all booked for my wedding day. I came across OLAS online and was hesitant to use a "photography company" but they blew my expectations out of the water. They were so responsive, so communicative. I felt like it was just me they were working with. The best part was picking out the photographer I wanted and she was a dream fit. We had so much in common, she was easy going but she helped keep us right on schedule the day of the wedding and ensured that I got all the special moments captured that I wanted to. And the photos are stunning. I spent an entire day just looking at them over and over, reliving the most perfect day ever! Thank you OLAS and Dana for capturing moments that will live on forever. You guys are the best.

intimate wedding photographer originally from the coast of VA, but now based in the North Georgia Mountains & love finding new adventures while exploring the outdoors. When I am not hidden behind my camera, you can find me hiking up a new mountain with my fur babies, eating tacos, or spending quality time with my little family. I started out capturing families, then realized that my heart is completely drawn to love & the bond that two people share. I describe my photography as bold, intimate & sincere. I enjoy capturing the small, yet sometimes unseen gestures & reactions as well as the pure romance between two people on their wedding day.

  • Serves Southport, NC

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
It gives me no pleasure giving Andrea a less than perfect review, because her pictures are indeed gorgeous and she is a very talented editor and artist, and I do love my photos. With that, there were some things during the process I wish were more transparent and I thought others should be informed. She does not honor her contract at all/it needs to be updated. My signed contract stated I’d receive min 3 previews within 3 days of my wedding. I waited a full week until contacting her; she stated that the contract was “old” and didn’t account for editing…again so update it. OR at the very least admit and let me know you will not be meeting the terms of the agreement and tell me when I can expect them (she didn’t). I had no reason to believe I wouldn’t get previews for over 2 weeks and it was incredibly disappointing/frustrating. Additionally, the photos she chose to include were not what I’d hoped, I had several pictures of my dj but zero of my family…like why? Additionally, 3 days before my wedding she texted me asking if it was okay for her to send someone else to do my wedding. Now, I am understanding of illness and family issues but if you really needed to sub my wedding, call me and and explain. But to put the decision on a CLIENT and ask if they are okay with you not coming as expected put me in a tough position, not to mention a stress I didn’t need before my wedding. The contract also stated I’d get the full gallery by the one month mark, and after I didn’t get the previews until almost then, I knew that timeline was laughable. I was provided no communication as to when I might expect them just that she was “unusually” busy (clearly overbooked, admitting 5 weddings a weekend, etc) Or, you can stalk her IG stories for her queue but that just shows you where you are in line, not when you can expect anything. Eventually I received my photos 16weeks after my wedding. While they were absolutely stunning, I was still a little upset about little details ignored (leaving scratches when I specifically asked to have them concealed out) or photos that were only provided in black and white, when I wanted color or the option for both. I’ll wrap up by saying yes her photos are amazing but go in aware deadlines won’t be met or communicated and you’re not guaranteed to actually have Andrea herself (I’m sure her whole team is amazing, shout out to Jo!) it’s clear anyone on her team is interchangeable. If you’re not bothered by any of that she’s amazing!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories.

As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Your images should reflect you and your day, and should vividly take you back to that exact moment in time. Our ultimate goal is to be a companion with you throughout your wedding planning process as a friend, not a vendor.

Natasha photographed our engagement shoot and our wedding. We loved working with her- she was so fun and easy to communicate with. I always knew what to expect and what was needed of us. She made us feel at ease- I always felt like was her only client. The individualized attention she gives her couples is unparalleled. I had a sort of outlandish location request for our engagement photoshoot and Natasha didn’t bat an eye. I am so grateful to have found Natasha and Cecilia Jean Photography. I will cherish all of my photos for the rest of my life .

If you have spent even just a few minutes checking out McKenna's work, it is obvious how good she is at getting her subjects comfortable! Creating images that are playful and honest. Well crafted and timeless. Intimate and irresistibly fun. But what you may not be able to see through the limitations of your computer screen, is how she exudes positivity, enthusiasm, and carries a genuine curiosity. Does this sound like someone who you would want at your wedding? I hope so. I have had the pleasure of working along side her while capturing video and I'd happily have her at every wedding taking the photos! Hire her to tell your story.

Hiring Chelcie for my wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Not only did she do a beautiful job, but she made it so stress free! Before the big day there was plenty of communication. She collected a full list of must get photos, biggest moments to capture, and day of timeline. The absolute best thing she did during our wedding was sneak my husband and I away during the reception for some private golden hour photos. They came out so good and I'm so thankful she was on top of it to make sure I didn't miss anything. On top of the great photos, when I got the finished photos in the mail, she also sent a hand written note and a framed photo of her favorite picture of us from that day. It hangs on my wall now for us to see every day. It was just made the whole experience that much more personal! 10 out of 10! I recommend her to everyone I know.

We are so glad we found Birchfields. Steve was incredibly helpful from the start - answering all of our questions, giving us ideas, and helping us to come up with the right package to buy. He gave us time to think things through, and we never felt pressured or rushed. On the day of the wedding, he was so easy and fun to work with. He sent us a small film trailer of the wedding the day after, which was so awesome to have right away! We recently got back our full edited films, and they are better than we could have hoped - super well edited, amazing crisp quality, and they really honor the mood and feeling of the whole night.

Since then, my memories, large and small, are organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back & revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't even remember without pictures. I enjoy life, and that’s why people call me the “happiest photographer.”

But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did!

Kaitlyn was an incredible photographer to work with! We did 2 engagement photoshoot sessions with her, which were both so fun!! My husband was dreading the photography most, out of all parts of “wedding planning.” But Kaitlyn was able to make him feel relaxed and comfortable so that he actually enjoyed himself! And he actually loves the way he looks in the photos! (He usually hates having his photo taken and the way he photographs.) Kaitlyn was able to capture our silliness, laughter, and genuine happiness in the candid photos which is exactly the look and feel I was hoping for in our photos! (I’m personally not a fan of the stiff posed or moody photos.) Our second engagement shoot also included our dog, which was fantastic! Not only was Kaitlyn great to work with on wedding day and the 2 engagement shoots, she was also a great resource for planning the logistics and timeline of the wedding day. She had great input of the flow of the entire day, which was something I had completely overlooked. Most importantly, Kaitlyn was very professional the entire time. We also gave Kaitlyn the added task of photographing the flower girl nieces (ages 2 & 7 years) and the ring bearer nephew (age 5) who is on the Autism Spectrum. All 3 kiddos still talk months later about how they had so much fun at the wedding! And Kaitlyn was able to capture them all smiling! Photographing dogs and kids is always difficult to ask for, but the photos of our smiling nephew on our wedding day made the parents and grandparents cry tears of joy! It’s rare to catch this kid smiling! We loved working with Kaitlyn, and we can’t wait to do more photoshoots together in the future!

I strive to never make anyone feel this way when they leave a session and certainly not on your wedding day. I coach you and help pose you so that you do not feel or look awkward. Photos are not only about how you look, but also the memories that go along with them. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me hanging out with my husband and two kids.

Stephanie is a more than a photographer. You can tell she really cares and takes pride in her work. I often hate getting my picture taken and get uncomfortable being in the spotlight, so being a bride was hard for me, but Stephanie took the time to make sure I was comfortable and she handled my family drama on my wedding day with empathy and grace. She truly made my wedding day better just with her presence. You can’t say that about a lot of photographers. Her attention to detail with catching those little moments in time and her artistic style in her photography is also second to none. Highly recommend!

Each session and wedding is unique. From intimate couples to large groups, all services are designed with one goal in mind: to capture the essence and personality of everyone. I am so blessed to be able to provide this service to all of you beautiful people! This is much more than a business, we work closely with one another, we build a lot of mutual respect and trust throughout this process and it is my sincerest pleasure to make any amount of time I spend with you count and memorable.

I am a Georgia based wedding and couples photographer. I describe my style as capturing romantic and authentic moments in a timeless manor. I want to capture your big day but also all the little moments in between throughout your day. I want you to be able to look back on your photos years from now and be transported right back into that special day and how you felt.

My partner Connor and I had a wonderful time working with Keri! She was so much fun and made us feel really comfortable with being in poses that might have felt awkward. She listened to exactly what we asked for and we couldn't be happier with our photos! I would definitely recommend her to all my friends for their engagement and wedding.

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

Hello beautiful couples! Looking for a photographer? I’m your girl! ✨ I specialize in capturing your day in a way that’s unique to you and your love story.

Your day goes by SO fast, so it’s great to have someone who’s ready to be there for you and make sure you don’t miss a beat when you look back on your day. PS - I also do video!

I was the most nervous about choosing our photographer/videographer out of everything we chose in our wedding but I do not regret choosing Hailey Hughes Photography at all. Hailey took the time to set up a call with my husband and me prior to booking with them to talk through all of our expectations and our wedding photography/videography needs. After speaking to her, I had no doubt in my mind she would do a great job and was the perfect photographer/videographer for our wedding. They are an awesome, sweet couple who do above and beyond amazing work. They captured every special moment through pictures and video. We couldn’t be happier with the results.

My philosophy is simple... I am here to tell the story of the day you married the love of your life. I want to document the excitement of you getting ready with your best friends, the look on your mother's face when she sees you in your dress for the first time, and the tears your father cries during the father - daughter dance, and that "Oh my God, we are really married?!" look of joy on your faces as you walk down the aisle as a married couple for the first time. I will pose you and guide you when necessary, but I believe when you are focusing on each other and really soaking in those moments --- that's when the magic happens.

As a wedding officiant I work with many photographers. Megan is one of the best! She's creative and yet flexible to get the impromptu shots. She remembers who and what is important - and has a sweet personality. Considering she's often the person who is there before makeup, while getting dressed, and through the night - having a calm and fun personality is super important.

Sarah second shot for me a few months ago. The day of the wedding, the timeline got off schedule from the start due to some issues with the arrival of the wedding party. Sarah adapted quickly and got the bridesmaids/getting ready photos, which turned out beautifully while I got details. The next issue of the day was during the ceremony, where my camera suddenly had focusing issues. Because of Sarah, my ceremony images were saved and the couple will never know there was equipment malfunctions! She was easy to work with and treated my clients like her own.

Maddy was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the moment we connected with her, we knew she was it. I had searched high and low for months, after seeing so many washed out, boring photos - Maddy's photography was an absolute breath of fresh air. Her work was full of life, love, energy, emotion and beautiful colors; which I knew was exactly what I wanted! Once Maddy spoke with us on the phone, she felt familiar and comfortable, like an old friend, to which she TRULY did become someone we can consider a friend. Maddy was there for us with whatever we needed through the entire planning process... She is impeccable with her communication, and whether it was questions, moral support, or just a lighthearted pick me up - she ALWAYS was there for us. Her process was also very easy, straightforward, and her questionnaires and blog posts cover everything your and your spouse might need to know! Leading up to our day, we didn't get to physically MEET Maddy until the day of our wedding, to which she showed up obviously completely over-prepared (which my Type A appreciates beyond a reasonable doubt), excited, and ready to go with us! The INCREDIBLY warm hug she gave both of us just reinforced what we already knew - she was meant to be with us on our big day! Maddy kept us laughing, happy, AND she ran THE BEST interference lol. She is a great reader of emotions, situations, and even pulled me (Alex) aside at one point to have a cool down outside because she knew I was a bit overwhelmed by my family. Through the ceremony and reception Maddy and her assistant were GREAT! We got SO many compliments about both of them from our guests - noting that they were SUPER stealth when they needed a shot! Maddy also has an incredible eye, and her vision for photos is next level... She was able to direct us through everything and if you need yourself a hype girl - OH SHE IS IT!!! She’s also an absolute BOSS and will take control of a situation *if need be,* which was also important to us.. She made group/family/bridal party photos quick and painless which was SO needed, and also got a TON of fun shots through the night! Seeing our shots come to life was spectacular, and when she sent us the sneak peaks we were absolutely FLOORED.... And then seeing our full gallery!? Stunning. Just truly extraordinary. We cannot stop staring at our wedding photos. We share them any chance we get, and so many of our friends and family have asked us how they could use Maddy for their photography needs. Anyone we show our photos to is absolutely taken aback by them, and truly, I think the relationship we created with Maddy shows through in our photos. We were comfortable, excited and genuinely happy! Maddy made our emotions, happiness, and visions come to life through her photos - she is WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT! We truly can’t wait for Maddy to be in our life through all of the changing seasons and new chapters.

He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Hi! I'm a Charlotte native, mom of 3, horse and cat mom, passionate cook, artist, gardener and all things creative. I love hearing love stories, getting to know my couples, and really working my hardest to not only deliver full wedding day coverage, but that WOW factor, that makes you KNOW in your heart you chose the right photographer.

I worked with Stef and Stephanie for our engagement shoot and our fall wedding in 2023. Both of them were so amazing to work with. They made us feel at ease and were so fun to work with and the pictures!! The pictures were so amazing! I seriously don’t think I could love the pictures any more than I do right now!! I highly recommend working with Stef!

I’m a mother to an adventurous little boy, a personable little girl, and wife to an amazing man! Loving these three in my life started my venture in stumbling across photography. I’ve always been fascinated by it, and found myself studying it in many forms. It didn’t take long to realize this profession would allow me to be myself: passionate, fun, and bold! I came to a crossroad after my son was born of whether I should return to work or pursue my passion with photography. Let’s just say I took a jump and went into business around 2012. It’s been a daring journey with the most awesome clients ever!

Awarded Best of Zola
Maria is the best photographer I have had the privilege to work with. From before/during/after our wedding she made every step special and magical. Our family and bridal party LOVED her and the humor/fun personality she brought to group photos. We love Maria and cannot wait to work with her in the future.
