  • Serves Albemarle, NC

Hi, my name is Faith. I have been passionate about photography since 2017, when I first picked up a camera to capture my dogs growing up. What started as a simple love for photographing my pups has evolved into a deep passion for capturing moments that tell a story. Traveling is another love of mine, and Africa holds a particularly special place in my heart. I have been fortunate enough to visit four times, with hopes to have many more trips. When I am not behind the camera, I'm either coaching gymnastics, spending time with my two dogs and horse, or exploring the world around me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Faith was absolutely amazing throughout my entire engagement photos and wedding process. I couldn’t be happier with the way my pictures came out. I looked at her site and her style is exactly what I wanted and she stayed true to that when delivering our final pics. Both our engagement session and wedding pictures blew me away. She was always so accommodating about shot ideas I had, location ideas, you name it - but also helped so much with giving us ideas and my husband and I are awkward so that was much needed haha! She was also amazing with my crazy family and friends day of. The value of her services is completely unbeatable. I was nervous about this big purchase as it was the largest budget item I paid for my day and it was more than worth every penny - looking back I’d pay even more because I am so happy. Thank you Faith you truly are the sweetest!

Hi! I am Kurstin and it is so nice to meet you! I am a wife and mom of two. When I am not photographing weddings, I am probably hanging with my family or at the pool. I love capturing weddings because each one is so different. I love when I am editing the wedding photos, it is like I am reliving the moment as well.

Kurstain has done our engagement and wedding photos, and both came out beautiful with an amazing turn around time. We received a lot of compliments. She was even able to make our wedding photos turn our great, given that it was 95 degrees and we were all sweating and red. Her prices are also incredibly affordable and she offers pre-shoot questionnaires.

I’m Morgan — the face behind Morgan Foth Photography! My husband, Justin, and I are a photo + video duo based in York, SC, capturing unique love stories across the Carolinas. We’re down-to-earth, a little goofy, and love helping couples who “aren’t photo people” feel confident and comfortable in front of the lens. If being in front of a camera feels awkward, don’t worry — that’s my specialty. I’ll crack jokes, play third wheel, and make you forget the camera’s even there. When you book both photo and video, you get our full dream team to capture your day from every angle — all the laughs, tears, and dance floor chaos included.

Morgan was one of the best choices we made during the entire wedding planning process. She was clear, communicative and super professional, and that doesn't even touch her artistic skill!!! I had so much faith in her from the moment we got our engagement photos back and then the wedding was just as great. 10/10 best photographer and the only one I recommend to friends who are getting married.

If you’re looking for someone to just snap photos, we’re probably not your team. (we also do video) We are Kiara and Austin, wife and husband, photo and video, and parents to three sweet boys: Benjamin, Malachi and Solomon. Family is everything to us, and that love is woven into how we capture yours. We got married under a ginkgo tree, a symbol of unity and the beginning of our story, and now we’re here to honor yours. This is your one and only day. We want you to feel seen, celebrated, and truly comfortable from our first conversation to the final gallery. Matthew 19:5

We cannot recommend Kiara highly enough! Kiara gets great photos, works extremely hard, and is so easy to work with. She shot our engagement and wedding photos and made the whole process such a joy. My husband and I are NOT photo people, yet Kiara made us feel so relaxed and at peace. She was able to find the thing that made us the most comfortable and ran with it, making for the most beautiful and natural photos of us. We have genuinely struggled with narrowing down which ones to have printed and displayed because they all are so perfect! Our guests were also very touched because she ran around getting couples photos during our wedding, so she even made our guests feel special! And that warmed our hearts hearing that feedback! Kiara is so talented at what she does and we feel so blessed to have found her and her husband to capture such a special time for us!

Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Her style is absolutely stunning — every image feels timeless and full of life. We had a non-traditional wedding and I was a bit worried about how the timeline and flow would be captured, but Ashley absolutely crushed it. She made us feel comfortable, kept everything organized, and delivered beautiful photos that perfectly reflect our day. If you’re looking for a photographer who is both talented and wonderful to work with, I can’t recommend Ashley enough!

My name is Dan, and I created this business because I believe marriage is an incredibly beautiful and miraculous thing. Your wedding is important, yes, but it's the marriage that lasts (well, that and your wedding photos). This is what I try to capture through my photography - your mutual love and respect, your quiet confidence in one another, and the enduring nature of your commitment. I want your photos to be a reminder to you through the years of how much you loved one another at the beginning, and how much more you've grown in your love.

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. Dan has an incredible ability to capture the emotional and intimate moments while never disrupting what was naturally unfolding. Nothing ever felt staged or interrupted, but he was able to still capture intentional and high quality photos. You can tell Dan understands the weight of each moment. He isn't just taking pictures, he is capturing a memory and the feeling of the moment, and that is absolutely priceless. While we were driving back to our Air Bnb after the wedding ceremony, we saw an adorable chapel on the side of the road near the beach. I made a comment about how adorable I thought it was--and Dan suggested that we stop and spontaneously take photos in front of the chapel. These turned out to be some of our favorites that he captured. Dan is fun, professional, reliable and we FULL-HEARTEDLY would recommend him to anyone wanting the most important day of your life preserved with photos!

Not only am I so incredibly blessed to have this amazing, life-giving business; I'm even more blessed to get to share it with my husband.

Hi! We're Michaella & Megan, the sister team behind Smile As You Mae Photography. We have the honor of documenting love stories and preserving the moments that become lifelong memories. With over 10 years of experience and more than 350 weddings captured, we've learned that the best images happen when you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present. Michaella is our lead photographer, and Megan is our lead videographer and second photographer. As sisters, we work seamlessly together to capture every meaningful moment while creating a fun, relaxed experience for our couples.

Smile as You Mae was phenomenal to work with! From my first inquiry to the wedding day, Michaella and Megan were a joy and instantly made me feel comfortable. I had a lot of questions and they took the time to talk through everything with me ahead of time. We stuck to the schedule we created together and were able to get everything my husband and I wanted from the shot list, and took pictures that would fit everyones tastes (details, close-up shots, formal, fun long exposure during the reception, everything you could ask for)! They were professional and got amazing photos, but many guests stated that they didn’t even know they were there throughout the reception, which is how well they were able to blend in with the group while still catching all of our moments. I can not recommend Smile as You Mae enough! I have consistently had people state that these photos look like they belong in a magazine, so if thats the quality you want (which you know you do), don’t hesitate to book them!
