I’m an Asheville based Wedding and Lifestyle photographer, specializing in classic and timeless imagery. Being in this business for 5 years, I’ve been lucky enough to meet and work with so many amazing people, from couples to vendors alike. I’m married to my high school sweetheart and have been together for a total of 13 years. So love is my language! We have a beautiful baby girl named Juliette and a German Shepherd named Odin. Outside of work, I love going to concerts, trying new food, travelling and spending quality time with my family!

From the moment we first spoke with Shannon's Studios, I was impressed by her quick response time, professional and detailed communication style. The quality of her work was absolutely jaw-dropping - she captures the most amazing shots that truly reflected the joy and love of our family. Shannon is such a compassionate photographer and was so understanding of our needs and incredibly patient throughout the entire process, helping to ensure our family photos went very smoothly. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive these moments for years to come. Shannon's Studios is hands down the best photographer we could have asked for. I will continue to use Shannon’s Studios for any event or family sessions that I will need in the future.

  • Beauty professional

Based in Arden, North Carolina, I am a wedding hair and makeup business. I am a licensed cosmetologist and self-taught makeup artist with over four years of experience and I has worked with a variety of skin tones and types. With the skill to craft looks ranging from natural to glamorous, I can bring any client's vision to life.

Megan made all my hair and make-up dreams come true for my wedding! I came to her with a vague idea of wanting a natural, glowy look for my make-up and a romantic high bun for my hair and she was able to bring my vision to life! I am so glad we did the trial before the big day, because we were able to work together to make some tweaks that made all the difference. As someone who hasn't historically liked how I look with make-up on, I felt like the most beautiful bride thanks to Megan's careful skill and artistry. Also, my look was able to weather wind, tears, and a full night of dancing! I absolutely recommend Megan's services if you are looking for a hair and make-up artist in western NC!!

When our Asheville venue cancelled just seven weeks before our wedding, we were devastated. But Morgan and Amanda from Golden Forest Events didn't hesitate to stay with us through the transition to our new Greenville location. Their calm reassurance during that stressful time meant everything to us. They thought through every single detail and kept everything organized from start to finish. On our wedding day, they worked tirelessly and stayed until the very end helping us pack up and clean. Morgan and Amanda treated our wedding like it was their own, and we're grateful for their professionalism and genuine care.

She was very enthusiastic throughout the process and really seemed to be enjoying our nuptials as much as the other guests were.

I cannot say enough amazing things about working with Chynna! She was truly a lifesaver throughout the whole wedding planning process. She kept me on track in such a calm, encouraging way and somehow always made me feel ahead of the game instead of stressed or overwhelmed. She was my go-to sounding board for everything, from the big decisions down to the tiniest details, and always had the best advice. Most importantly, she worked so hard to bring my vision to life, and seeing it all come together on our wedding day was beyond anything I could have imagined. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her, and I’m so grateful for all the love and energy she put into making our day so special. Highly, highly recommend!

I could not have been any happier with my stylists, Sky and Autumn. They showed up early and set up without needing a lot of help from me. They were accommodating to my wedding party, who wanted a whole range of makeup and hairstyles, and they got everyone done EARLY! Everyone felt gorgeous, especially me (the bride). Both stylists were super easy to talk to and generally made the atmosphere of my wedding morning more fun. I received compliments on my makeup all day, and it looked just as good at the end of the night as at the beginning. I had a cathedral length veil and my hair didn't budge once, even when the veil was taken in and out. I would choose Bella Bridal Artistry a hundred times over-- I even recommended them to two other brides-to-be in my family!

By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.

Based in Western North Carolina, but willing to travel anywhere, we’re leading a revolution in wedding photography, bringing the focus back on couples, their commitment, and the whole experience of the day.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Carolyn and Jake as our wedding photographers! From the very beginning, they were kind, professional, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, captured the most genuine moments, and somehow managed to document the entire day so beautifully without ever feeling intrusive or forced. Our photos are everything we hoped for and more. They perfectly captured the joy, emotion, details, and atmosphere of our wedding day—looking through the gallery feels like reliving the entire day all over again.
 Beyond the incredible talent, what stood out most was how calm, organized, thoughtful, and reassuring they were throughout the day and days following the wedding: My husband’s grandma (Mamaw) unexpectedly passed away just days after we got married, which means some of Mamaw’s last moments were captured on camera at the wedding. Carolyn went out of her way to hand-select every photo she took of Mamaw and send them to us as soon as she heard the news of her passing, along with the most heartfelt email extending her condolences. All that to say—they are not only incredible photographers, but the most compassionate and incredible humans as well! You will be in fantastic hands with Wilder Wedding Co!

The Blue Laurel Studio is a wedding photography and videography studio specializing in elegant, story-driven coverage. Our approach blends authenticity with a refined visual style, creating images and films that feel honest, emotional, and beautifully lasting.

Time has passed but these images make it feel so recent. I could feel the same excitement and happiness all over again. Nothing feels exaggerated or staged. The candid moments are what touched me the most. Watching it reminded me of how meaningful every second was. I love how effortless and authentic everything appears. The atmosphere is captured perfectly. I smiled through tears more than once. It felt like stepping back into that exact day. I am beyond grateful for this

Jacqueline was truly amazing to work with! I absolutely LOVE her photos and she made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day, even for posed photos where it may not feel natural. I have so many beautiful memories to look back on. I cannot recommend her enough and wish I could give her more than 5 stars!

Trust me when I say, Andy is without a doubt the guy you want photographing your wedding. From the moment I saw the first of his portfolio, I knew he was the perfect fit. He showed how valuable and professional he is from the very beginning. I forgot to confirm our initial meeting, but Andy made it work anyway, a sign of adaptability that we greatly appreciated. He is easy to talk to, makes you feel comfortable, and is very helpful in explaining options and posing. I am extremely picky about photos, so I looked at many portfolios before choosing to interview anyone, and Andy has the best eye I’ve seen by far. His photos are timeless, artsy, and just downright beautiful. You will get an amazing variation of photos: movement, perfect lighting, details, posing (with his help, thankfully!) and THE BEST candid photos. We had never been to a wedding like ours, but Andy gave great advice and really helped us visualize and plan our day. We got married shortly after Hurricane Helene so we couldn’t get to our original adventure session hike, but Andy had a whole album of back up hikes for us to choose from, all of which were just as stunning as our first choice. We had the best time spending our day with Andy, we truly could not be happier with our photos. We’re only a year out from our wedding and I’m already scheming for an anniversary shoot! Choose Andy, I promise you’ll never regret it!

Hey there! John & Amy here, the husband and wife team behind the cameras. We’re both adventurers, daydreamers, and you guessed it wildly in love. Fun fact, we’re actually highschool sweethearts and have been together for 10+ years. We are currently based in NC and are transitioning to WA in 2022. We love to travel and are down to adventure throughout the US & Beyond. We both have a heart for exploration and love working with couples who share this adventurous spirit. Genuine smiles, hearty laughs, spontaneous adventures, that’s what we’re all about.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are over the moon with our photos and videos from Amy and John. The quality is incredible, and the quantity is unbelievable. They delivered an incredible amount of photos so quickly, and our friends and family have commented several times that it looks like our wedding was featured in a magazine spread because the quality is so impressive. We’ve been looking through them nonstop, and every time we see some new gem. They captured so many big and small moments throughout the weekend. It is incredible that they were able to capture so much without us or our guests feeling like there were cameras everywhere. They blended seamlessly, and it truly felt like we were just hanging out with them all day. They were so kind and lovely to work with and directed us beautifully, while allowing us to be ourselves and capturing genuine and authentic moments. They both brought such a calm presence. We can’t believe they captured so much content and so many angles when we don’t even remember them doing that - we mostly remember them being by our sides and talking and laughing with us. So many of our guests have said similar things. They truly impressed everyone and have given us so many incredible photos and videos to remember the weekend. Hiring them was such a great decision. We would 100% do it again and recommend them wholeheartedly.
