My husband and I eloped and we reached out to Sarah for our pictures to be taken. She was extremely kind and flexible about our times and waited for us even though we were late. We loved working with Sarah and already recommended her to several of our friends!

Hi, I'm Levar. Over 10 years and 500+ weddings in, I still show up the same way, calm, present, and focused on real moments instead of forced poses. I photograph weddings across the Carolinas and I'm available for travel and destination weddings too. My approach blends documentary coverage with gentle guidance, so you feel supported without ever feeling directed. The goal is always imagery that still feels honest years later.

In Bloom Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Albemarle, NC

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.

Christan is the most warm, caring individual you’ll ever meet. From my first consultation phone call to the dedication she showed in completing our wedding photo gallery, I felt cared for and highly important to her. Not only is she amazing to work with but her photographs made me feel beautiful and will be timeless. My husband and I felt so comfortable taking photos when we’ve never had professional photos taken. If you’re looking for a photographer for any special event, I can not recommend Christan enough. I would have spent 10 times the investment to have had Christan be our photographer. Long story short, Christan is the best and her photography skills are unmatched. Every picture in our gallery is AMAZING! Best hype woman!

Based in Charlotte, NC, we work across the Carolinas and beyond for couples who are intentional about who they let behind the lens. Our approach is documentary first, with an editorial eye that keeps things grounded and specific to you.

From the moment we started planning our wedding, Harry McLaughlin Photography LLC stood out for how responsive and kind the team was to every question we threw their way. Harry's confidence in his craft was clear from our first conversation, and that confidence carried through to our wedding day when he kept us calm and made the whole photography process feel natural and easy. We'll never forget when my husband nearly passed out after our ceremony—Harry didn't hesitate to drive and get him pedialyte so we could enjoy the rest of our day feeling our best. His creative approach and fun energy made what could have been nerve-wracking feel effortless, and the photos he captured tell the story of our day in a way that's truly special. Harry thinks about the bigger picture of your wedding experience, not just getting shots, and that dedication shows in every frame. Any couple would be lucky to work with Harry and his team—he's a true expert at what he does.

Hi there! I'm Jackie, and this is my husband & business partner, Cory. Many photographer's "about me" section will tell you how they've known they wanted to be a photographer since they were a child. Not mine. I didn't know that's what I wanted until I actually started taking pictures and realized that photography was the creative outlet I had been missing my entire life. 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.

We have done 2 sessions with Jacqueline so far and both have come out beautiful! She is so sweet and easy to work with. It’s like having a friend you know take your picture.

I’ve always been fascinated by the stories existing around me. The fact that there are 9 billion of them unfolding all at once, is something that I think about all the time. that fascination is what first made me pick up a camera years ago. photography to me is a way of understanding and connecting to the world and people around me. my style is heavily influenced by cinematic storytelling, It’s very important to me, that the photos you see have a soul and are a depictions the real life unfolding in front of the lens. my clients are people I truly care about & love, and I hold high importance in really getting to know them before their shoot.

Winnie Shea provided us with both incredible photos and an incredible experience. She has a way of making you comfortable in front of the camera and truly capturing the love and joy we have for one another.

  • Serves Albemarle, NC

We lovingly refer to our photography work as our “honeymoon baby.” We began our pursuit of photography shortly before our first wedding anniversary- mostly out of a desire to create art and serve people together. We choose to specialize in weddings for many reasons. We love each other, and when we see others who share that deep commitment to one another we can’t help but rejoice. One of the greatest joys of our work is in capturing the many unique and diverse ways in which our clients share those feelings with each other.

I cannot say enough good things about Rob + Kristen! Not only are they amazing photographers and capture all the moments, but they are awesome people as well! My husband and I were blessed to have them on our big day. Rob has such an eye for a great shot and will work tirelessly to make sure he provides you with the best of the best. Kristen is a girls best friend. When we did posed photos, she was always there to make sure my hair was right, we were standing correctly, holding flowers when I was not using them - she even held my lipstick in her bag for me and reapplied when needed! They got our pictures back to us so quick and we could not be happier!

We got married 11/01/2025, perfect for a fall wedding. We chose George Street Photo for the quality and pricing that we saw. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, 2 photographers and a videographer. All were the perfect combination of professional and personable, adding their own touches to our ideas made everything turn out so much better than we imagined. Getting to work with our head photographer for the engagement photo session made things even better since we got to meet her in person ahead of time and understand her photo style and it let her know us better before the wedding day. Communication was so easy with our team and was always in a timely manner. The website made it easy to create our timeline and share it with our team along with all the ideas we had for different moments throughout our wedding day.
